The old Banzii???

See what happens when I’m gone?
(((FCM)))
GT, sorry, my family is too screwed up to find joy in games.
School is back in session. Holidays are over, and good riddance. My math teacher assigned homework right out of the gate, so I’m happy. I sat in the dining room, listening to Bon Jovi and plowing through problem after problem! Yay! I guess I get to keep my geek card. Español es mas o meno. Hasta mañana amigos!
Gack! My natural grace has been augmented by my bad knee. Day before yesterday I was walking over the threshold from the patio. Only I forgot the doormat and tripped the whole way to crash up against the coffee table.
Ow! I sprained my right wrist, made the knee worse, banged my nose and scraped the bridge, and to top it off banged my bicep. Bruise as big as a grapefruit.
Do you know how hard it is to get the top off soup with one hand? But that’s all I could eat because the dentist dug around on two teeth. So I gave up anything but pathetic re-heating. Let’s see if I can drive tomorrow cause I have appointments and don’t want to take a taxi.
Which reminds me we didn’t do anything in the car but read and talk once us kids were old enough. Before that we sang. My parents could be pros, my sister and I not so much.
Many hugs FCM. All I know is that time will soon turn the hurt to 21 years of good memories.
All school-going people; don’t forget tissues, extra pencils, a snack, and breath mints.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 50 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 72 and rain, which I am assumin’ Rebo is sendin’. 
To add to A[sup]2[/sup]'s list of school supplies, don’t forget hand sanitizer. I always see that on the list of recommended school supplies.
I talked to OYKW a few minutes ago. He is stayin’ home today which I think is wise what with the crud and all. So far no cruddiness has happened at da cave. Appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed.
Fiat I was one of those students who actually didn’t mind homework either. I was a teenage nerd.
Ok, I need me some more caffiene and need to feed rumbly tummy. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
And now, you’re an old-age nerd. 
Blurf. I got nuthin else.
Morning. Up, caffeinated, off to irk. Hockey tonight.
The only game my parents and I played was “Are we there yet?/Don’t Make Me Stop This Car!”
A[sup]2[/sup], OW! Hope you feel better.
swampy, hope OYKW feels better after soup and Z-Pak(That sounds like an anti-zombie medicine :eek:).
I know what you wanted to say is: And now, you’re an old-fart geezer nerd-wannabe. Don’t be afraid to say what you mean. 
It’s all foggy outside! We were supposed to have some sun today - it better happen, dammit!!! And my new vacuum cleaner is supposed to be ready for pickup today - it better be, since the old one is petty close to worthless. And I get to go to the dentist today for my semi-annual cleaning - woo and hoo!
The big chore for today will be switching over the aquarium sump from upstairs to down. **FCD **has been figuring out exactly what he needs so we don’t have to stop partway thru to run to the hardware store. I think he needs to get one more plumbing piece today. I dunno - I’m just the muscle, since he’s still not supposed to lift. I’ll be carrying buckets of stuff downstairs so we can get the upstairs tank out of the way and connect to the pipes that come up thru the floor, across the closet wall, and into the back of the aquarium cabinet. It’s a wonder to behold!!
Other than that, I got nothing. I finished another hat-n-scarf set for the homeless shelter, then made a hat and started a matching scarf. Gotta keep the fingers busy, right? I don’t think I can watch TV without a project in my hands.
Happy Tuesday! Send chocolate!!! 
Nice and chilly this morning. 50° and windy. Supposed to cool down even more for the next couple of days.
Swampy - enjoy the nice rain! Hopefully it won’t be so grumpy for y’all.
Owww - A[sup]2[/sup]! Would you please be more careful? 
Got a little headache this morning. I guess I’ll pop a couple of Advil and get bizzzzy… Blurf.
I’ll take some chocolate too.
Eczema seems to be getting better, what with the heavy duty steroid cream and expensive OTC lotion. The script was $4, the OTC lotion was $16. Yipes.
Irk was harrible yesterday but today should be better since I got a lot cr@p fixed, plus it’s sunny and predicted high of 55. W00T!
Just as I was reading this a dog jumped up on the couch next to me and instead of saying ‘hi’ to her, I said ‘right.’ I guess I was answering you, FCM. 
I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning. I think I’ll be a little better after tonight is over. And then ultimately better by Friday, but that seems a long way off.
We played a game at the dinner table with some close family friends where you’d think of a rhyming 2-word association with something and everyone else would have to guess what it is. For example, the clue might be “sushi” and the answer would be “fish dish”. They could be tricky, like using “shark” for “cool pool.” “Donut” could clue for “roll hole”, etc.
Just about the time everyone got tired of it someone would throw another out there and off we’d go again.
“Veneers.”
lieu, that reminds me of a teacher who wanted us to play a game called “Hinky Pinky” - the difference being, you used a 2-word clue, so “obese feline” = “fat cat.” It never caught on - we thought it was a stupid game. We were cool kids, you know.
And is the answer thin skin?
Hi everyone!
:grumble: too early, etc…
Day 10 sans caffeine. I’ve discovered Twinings English breakfast, which is wonderful and I’ve been drinking it throughout the day, but I miss my morning coffee.
My cousin, who was never known for her brains, is in my math class. She has been back to school for a few terms, after living on the streets for a decade. She going to embarass my to death. Yesterday, right before class before class she leans over and whispers '“hey, you want to see something neat?” I wasn’t thinking much of it and said sure. So, instead of reaching into her bag to show me a book or something, she scoots her chair back and begins to untie her shoe.
I told her to just show me later… I really don’t want to know. Thankfully, español is a bit more mature. I love my cousin like a sister, but my god she is a dope.
Is this what college is all about? Being the grown-up in a room full of kids? Whatever happened to sex, drugs and parties?
Tile smile.
My answer works, too. 
Speaking of which ----- did you know Hornady has come out with a line of ammo just for the zombie apocalypse? SFW unless you have some really rough ant-gun rules at work so I’ll break the link to be safe.

Be sure to read the entire disclaimer at the end ----- its a total hoot!
Got some – just in case. Evans City cemetery ain’t that far away from me.
I don’t remember if I mentioned I’m trying to get my black belt in April. That means I need to take about six classes a week. I don’t want to get dressed Saturdays, so I have to do it Mon-Thurs (two classes on Mondays and Wednesdays.)
I may die. I took two classes last night, and I am so pooped. And sore. I got a cramp in my butt in the middle of first class and that cheek still hurts. And my back… and…
And I really wish they wouldn’t insist on ‘ladies first’. I HATE the idea that having sticking-in parts means I should be treated special. But if I don’t go along it’s disruptive. Grrr. Just have to deal with it (and the teacher’s in-your-face Christianity in emails and stuff) a little longer.
Morning…2 hours into an 8 hour conference call. This will be a long day.
Poor **mmmmmmmmmmm **- sounds like you need to hit a big lottery jackpot and tell them all what to do with those conference calls…
