To be repossessed it means that someone wants you (back). 😛

Is that a clever way of asking top or bottom? 😃

(Quick - someone save the MMP before we degenerate it any further.)

Save the MMP? OK, I’ll give it a shot.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm…

Q: Why did the picture go to jail?

A: Because it was framed.

How’s that?

Rosie, me too. Blurf city over here.

DH was diagnosed with the Diabeetus on Tuesday (or as my great-grands used to call it, “the sugar disease.”) Poor man. He’s mournful and scared all at once.

{{{BooFae}}} Sorry to hear about the rib and coughing. Where’s a good laudanum-laced cough syrup when a girl needs one!!!

{{ **ZombieDH** }}

{{Everyone else who needs one}}

Seems the MMP is 50% blurf, 50% terrible jokes at the moment…

Went round the garden centres hunting compost and a replacement hand fork. Thrilling day.

I’m considering going to see the Hobbit film later. I don’t expect to enjoy it much, but I saw the other two, and I think it’ll bug me if I don’t.

A typical MMP! 😃

**Spidey** , actually, somebody does want me back. At least that’s the word I get. A former SO who left for what he thought were greener pastures and soon found out other wise. Well, BOO and HOO is all I got to say about that.

In other news, I do believe I have uncovered a participant who has been scammin’. Looks like he’s been irkin’ on the side whilst in trainin’ which is the biggest of all no-nos. If I get confirmation of this, which I shall, I shall sic the **DUN!DUN!DUN!** _FRAUD DIVISION_ **DUN!DUN!DUN!** upon him.

Other than that, paperirk hell as usual at the orifice.

I’ve been dealing with it going on 25 years, and it’s not so bad. I’m available off-line for advice.

And to be repressed just means that your pants have double creases. 😃

**zombie** , I’ve been dealing with diabetes for the last 12 years too. Like **bobbio** , I’m available for messaging.

Good call, **swampy**. I think you’re better off with OYKW; he feeds you well. 😃

I have a reall puzzler on my desk today that is keeping me pretty busy. This evening is dinner with my bestie. 🙂

…& terrible jokes have just taken the lead. :rolleyes:  
There was a table setup at the train station this morning; there were two adult wimen & a dolt male selling Girl Sprout cookies (first sighting of the year); well the dolt male was sitting in a chair…_sleeping_! There were also two cops hanging out nearby; didn’t realize they needed not one, but two armed guards. I guess the prices have gone up again? :dubious:

Brunch has been ingested(pan seared pork chops with a cheddar omelet with cumin and smoked paprika). Almost time for work.

red, Thin Mints, of course.

Horrible Scout joke:You have been warned.How does a Boy Scout become a man? Not too late to turn back!He has to eat a Brownie. You were warned.😃

Back from erranding. I figgered while I was at WalMart, I’d check their meat offerings. Even their used meat was more than I pay at Food Lion. So was their provolone - packaged 7oz instead of the expected 8oz. Screw 'em - I stopped at FL on the way home and got what I needed at reasonable prices. Plus I drove thru Arby’s and got a fish sammich, or perhaps I should say a tartar sauce sammich with some fish. Messy, messy!

I made the right choice regarding laundry - it’s after 1 and the sun still hasn’t appeared. Much as I hate using the dryer, it was the correct choice today.

**Nuts** , thanks for the hug for DH. I will pass it along! 😉

**Bobbio** , **missred** , appreciate the offers of advice. I will PM you shortly.

Did y’all hear that if you order Girl Scout cookies online (even if you pick up from a local Girl Scout) you’ll be charged an extra $1.25 per box handling? On top of $4 / box already? Dang, son. :eek:
