Bleah. Denny’s pancakes are horrid no matter how severe the munchies. IHOP rules the pancake world. On the other hand, if Denny’s is your only stop a Ham ‘n’ Moons is perfect munchie food.
I just got KeithT a bath sheet because he got all excited when I told him I was putting up a second towel bar in the bathroom. He thought he could then use beach towels in the shower since there would be room to hang them on the new towel bar. I could not stand the thought of beach-y colored towels in my color-coordinated bathroom so I bought a big-assed bath sheet just to keep him happy and to keep the beach towels far far away from my pretty bathroom. (No, it’s really not girly pretty; it’s all decorated in navy blue. But it all MATCHES and that’s what makes it pretty.)
So, it’s true about Jersey being a desolate wasteland, with stoned teenagers wandering the streets in search of carbs?
Actually, we were in Florida at the time, and I had not yet discovered drugs. 
It was raining so hard we couldn’t go to Disney. Our choices were sit in the hotel room with my parents, or go for a walk.
But there need be no wandering through most of Jersey. You can find ten diners within a five mile radius of my house. In fact, there are at least four of them within one mile. (Two of them within a block.)
And while I agree with your statement in theory, there was a reason we called the nearest Pancake Abode the Fly-HOP. shudder
When we moved, I went out and bought towels that beautifully match our bathroom. Roomie is constantly using her Batman beach towel and leaving it on the towel rack. Now, this is not something that would normally bother me–in fact, I bought her the damned towel, and I knew full well that neither of us ever go to the beach. I am not a stickler for cleanliness, and very few people even see the bathroom. But for some reason, it drives me crazy.
It might be because I do not have a corresponding Superman towel.
I have not done any housework, but I just made a dress for a friend. It’s pink and blue, which are as far away from being my colours as you can get, but that’s what she wanted. Yuck. Not that I have anything against other people wearing pink and blue, but I had to keep putting it on to make sure the collar and seams were lying right, and it looked so weird.
Time for a tea and cookies (not cockies- none of the Husbands are around) break.

I hate my job.
Perhaps I will quit. The idea is looking more attractive to me every day. I have other people who will hire me.
Also, a kid I know was murdered. I can’t go to his funeral becuase I have to work. Not only do I have to work and can I not go to the funeral, I have to work EARLY because my manager wants to go out with her boyfriend, so I had to take off early from IOP. and they don’t like that.
I’m soooooooooo tempted to call in right now just to piss them off. Earlier, I was considering taking my dog with me and telling them that after that kid being murdered (in my neighborhood, no less. on the route to work.) and another girl a little older than me being shot on that same street for no reason other than just walking in the wrong place, I wasn’t walking that alone and so had to bring my dog.
That is horribly immature of me. But I’m fed up. and I won’t actually do it. I’ll go to work and pretend I’m having a great time and am so happy to be there and tell them when my boss gets back in a week or so that I’m quitting.
The latest episode of catsitting is completed, and I suprised the owner by taking some pictures of her cats hand having them ready in a nice frame when she got home. I knew she didn’t have any pictures of her new baby yet. Here are her cats:
She went to New Orleans for a librarian conference, and said that many of the resturants still weren’t open. The thing that shocked her most? No pigeons in Jackson Square.
It’s hot, hot, hot here and I am already tired of it. I need to do some yard work, but it’s just too hot. Maybe I’ll get up early and so some tomorrow.
Swampy, there is a Marble Slab Creamery here, and a Bruster’s or two. You’ll have to make a side trip when you come up for a hockey game.
Dorothy, I’m sorry things are crappy for you right now. I hope you find a better job soon.
My conclusions:
Is an eeeeevil kitty!
Is shocked. Shocked!
Doesn’t give a s***.
The surprised look on Ben’s face is great!
Snakes we got Bruster’s here. Ok, but pricey. I like Marble Slab Creamery though. Still, the best ice cream is at a University with a huuuuuuuuuuuge school of Ag. It’s ice cream to die for!
I hesitate to confess this but back in the day when I lived in Jackson, WY (more than 25 years ago), we would drive two and a half hours over a mountain pass just to get McDonalds. And we liked it! :o
snakes, those are some seriously cute kitties.
I have two bath sheets that are, unfortunately, color-coordinated to the “old” master bath. They are white and mauve. They will be relegated to the emergency towels cabinet.
Now just a darn minute! It’s bad enough you have many husbands to carry out different functions but having sex with all of them is TOO MUCH!!! :dubious: 
You know what? I feel like an idiot.
I was the first person to respond to a thread that picunurse started and I quoted her whole post and then posted. Some people on this board find this very annoying and I just did it. :smack: :smack:
Also, :smack: :smack: :smack: :smack: :smack: :smack: I forgot to add my congratulations to the chorus for both KeithT and Mr. Lisslar :smack: :smack:
I’m slightly frustrated here at work because of a very suspect database. The data sucks and I don’t want to use it. I can’t convince other people though, that’s it’s terrible. Sigh…
Well, that’s all I’ve got for now. I hope those of you who are living in the flooding areas are doing alright. Say, do you think that maybe the IRS lost some our records? 
Is it in code? She asked, puzzled.
Sorry about your friend.
I cannot settle into anything today. I feel like I have no center–I wish the kitchen were done. Then, at least, I would ahve a desk of sorts from which to type. Whinewhinewhine…
Tomorrow is washing machine day! Mark your calendars.
Oh, and once, in HS, we went out in the subzero blizzard to Denny’s. It was the blizzard of '79; windchill was -60 and out we went to Denny’s…nobody said that teens were prudent. Stupid teenage person that I was. It was damned cold, I remember that–but the place was open!
**Dottie ** - if you have other employment available, then don’t stay at a job that aggrevates you - life is too short. It’s a damn (yeah, I said it: damn!) shame you couldn’t attend the service.
**SCL ** - Ben doesn’t look surprised so much as he does yelling at you to put the camera down
I’m feeling frustrated with our database today too. I’m missing 22 people. It’s not terribly important for me to find them, but I’m really really annoyed that I can’t. GRRRRR! :mad:
Dots I’m so sorry about your friend. It sucks that they wouldn’t let you be off to go to the funeral. If you do have other employment lined up, I say go. I can’t imagine not letting somebody have time off to attend a funeral.
I got my bath sheets at Wal-Mart. They were five bucks each. Six bath sheets, $30 plus tax. They’re great. But if you hate Wal-Mart and refuse to shop there, or even just dislike and refuse to shop there, I understand.
The rivers and creeks and such are still pretty high here, but the weather’s supposed to be better tomorrow. We’ll see. I saw the forecast but I am not going to believe it till what it predicts actually comes to pass.
I am so thirsty. I have a pitcher of raspberry stuff made right now. I didn’t really like it before, but I found that if you drink it warm, it strangely tastes better than it does cold. And I just realized that when I put away the things I bought for the next couple lunches at work, I put away the chips I’d bought and meant to take home. They’re in the filing cabinet with the bagels.
Five more minutes and then I can go home. It’s a good thing too, because I am frustrated to the point where I’m feeling paralyzed. I know there’s more than one way to skin a cat, and I’ve overthunk what I want to do.
Tomorrow is a brand new day and I can look at this little database problem with fresh eyes and a fresh attitude. Really, I think I know what I’m going to do, but it seems ridiculous to even have to do it. Oh well. I’m paid to solve these types of issues, and solve the issue I will!
Dot, good for you. Don’t let your boss push you around like that, especially when something like this funeral comes along. Some people are just meaniefaces.
I want ice cream.
Go get 'em Taters!
I, I, I had work to do! Real, actual work that involved more than calling or emailing someone else and telling them what to do. I feel kind of light-headed. I need to lie down now…
Uh-oh. A co-worker is slamming stuff around and sniffling. And I just got an email that she’s not feeling well and is going home! :eek: Very interesting. This would be co-worker I started a thread about a couple of weeks ago…
Followed by a phone call for my exec who’s been stationed in Thailand for the last 2 years. Um, he’s not here right now, can I take a message? No, I don’t actually believe that he just called you a minute ago, but it could happen. I suppose.
What a busy [del]afternoon[/del] half hour! How will I ever survive the excitement!
