Sean, it’s a tough life, but someone has to do it! Some of us, on the other hand, get paid to work. Although I haven’t been working very hard this week. My heart just isn’t in it.
Rue, cute kids! They take after their mother, don’t they? 
swampy, now that the pool’s all cleaned up and nice, can I come over and swim?
V-Bob, glad you’re doing well!
I don’t have any poop stories this morning. But that’s normal. Normal is good.
Sean thanks for clearing up what I’m just sure were lingering doubts in the minds of MMPers. A lot of em have just such gutterminds!
Taters good on the younguns! Course having met Mr. and Mrs. Taters all I can say is how they could be otherwise.
Rue that’s a start. They are cute lil’ ol’ critters. Give em both an ear skritch from Unca Swampy.
SONOFABITCH! I was trying to research the drugs my mom is on and the first site I checked on google was full of popups and spyware crap. You also couldn’t back browser button without getting stuck on a loop of even more of them. I clicked it a couple times and had a dozen pages start to open. I was alt-F4ing like a motherf…! The ironic thing is they were popups telling me that I had spyware, well DUH! you all just put it there! Grrrr…
It’s Thursday! First, that means it’s payday, which is always good. And KeithT’s coming to visit again today! So I’m all today.
We’re going to meet my parents this weekend. They’re generally good about meeting guys and don’t grill them or anything. But Mom’s got this weird thing where she wants to be called Mrs. B at first so that she can then say, “Call me [first name].” So I’ve got to make sure KeithT’s prepped for that. I don’t know why she cares. But it’s a pain for me to have to worry about making sure that he doesn’t offend her (Dad doesn’t really care what people call him.) right off the bat. She said she wants to know if he’s “old fashioned.” But I don’t WANT an old fashioned guy. Old fashioned to me implies that he’s going to expect me to be demur and to kowtow to his wishes. The whole pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen thing. Yeah, that’s going to happen. :rolleyes: So there will be NO old-fashioned guys for me. But that still leaves me with Mom wanting the guy to act old fashioned, at least in calling her Mrs. B when introduced. Argh!
But in any case, KeithT will be here in 5 hours!!
I’m a little smitten with Katcha. Considering I’m 31, that’s probably a little bit wrong, isn’t it?
I think you mean regular.
Too bad you’re not into Soupo. He likes Older Women.
Katcha’s not allowed to date until he’s at least six, so you’ll just have to wait a year Scout.
Very cute kids Rue! Shut us up? SHUT US UP?! Goodness sake, just a little curmudgeonly aren’t ya? 
FCM, very nice pots indeed! I like color of the blue one, but I like the shape of the tall pot.
I will pass on all your congrats to my kiddos. They, after all, are the ones who worked at achieving this (with lots of encouragement from me and Mr. Taters ). They’ve earned it and I hope they continue to do well.
I’ve started taking some vitamins. Some womens’ daily pack. Maybe I’ll get some of my zip back. Both the hubby and I have both commented to each other that we just don’t seem to have much energy. Last weekend I bought vitamins for the both of us (well, I got him the mens’ pack). They are both a 30 day supply of daily packs. He seems to think it’s helping him. I’m not really noticing much difference. Of course, it’s only been a week, so I’ll try it for the entire month.
I better do some work now, the boss comes back in less than two weeks. By all accounts he’s got a real fire going inside him right now, so he’ll be all over us. No, we didn’t do anything wrong, he’s just very conscientious about making sure the right thing is done for the right reason. He also expects progress in certain problem areas, etc, so we need to show him that we’ve been good little minions in his absence and that he can trust us. Which he does, by the way, but he does like to see concrete results.
Just a little bit. But he’s so cute! We all understand–you’re not a cradle robber or anything. It’s just that he’s so irrestistible. I like younger men. Not usually that much younger, but that’s okay. Rue and The Little Woman are going to have their hands full with these two when they’re a little older.
taxi, good luck with the parent-meeting-stuff. I’m sure they’ll love him. Will Moose and Squirrel be there, too?
Taters, Rue’s always curmudgeonly. That’s just the way it is. But he has cute kids, so it’s okay.
Wile E, spyware sucks, don’t it? I hate popups. And spam. I’d like to do hurty things to the people who unleash this evil on all of us innocent, unsuspecting computer users.
V-Bob, how’s it going this morning? Still pooping okay? Just checking!
Whee! Today is the concert! I have to clean the bathroom in a celebratory manner. Oooh, Bailey wants love. He has just sat on the mousepad, and I am typing one-handed, because he needs pats.
Still hot. Less hot, but I still don’t like it. Send this weather to Florida!
Your kids are adorable, Rue. Buy a big stick to beat the wimmins back.
You know, when we had our boys I was all “Yay! We have boys!” Not that I would have loved girls any less, but girls are… girls. We have friends that have a whole passel of girls (3) and they are pretty OK most of the time, but then they, for no good reason, go all girly-girl. I would not like to live with this.
We have other friends (and that pretty much accounts for all our friends) that have a pair of girly-girl girls. They are always girly-girl. Yeah, they’re real cute and everything, but man! It’s wearing.
So we had our boys, and I was, like I said, “yay!”.
Only then I got to thinking about it. (Never think, it just causes trouble. That’s my motto.) These boys of ours are (most likely) going to be bringing home girls. They are going to bring girls into my actual house. And then when I get used to one girl, they’re gonna go and switch girls on me.
This may bode ill.
And any girl that can stand these boys is welcome to them. No stick required.
The plumbing is still working just fine. I think I’ll be sick of Carnation Instant Breakfast by Saturday. My drain hole is slowing down, meaning it’s closing on schedule. I feel a little less runover today, and I can cough better.
Took a walk around the VunderLair compound at 3 AM, in a fit of insomnia. Sure is quiet here at that time, unlike the old place. Sadie the (deceased) VunderDog used to get me up for a midnight trip to the bushes, and the noise from I-64 was quite loud.
I’m going nuts with the required inactivity. We never got done unpacking, so I have to look at all the stuff still piled up, and I can’t do anything about it because I can’t lift over 15 lbs. at a shot. At least I got to bitch at the post office for erroneously returning our mail to the senders, and the credit union for screwing up a loan I took.
Oh well, time for another nap.
27C right now, 36C with humidity.
Yes, Rue, they will bring girls home, and their girls will probably be all girly. I think you should maybe make a long list of girlfriend screening requirements now, to avoid hassle later. Things like, ‘No pink, no giggling, no cutesy stuffed animals’. It won’t work, but it might make you feel better.
I would like to interject that this isn’t quite as accurate as you might originally think. See, true, you won’t have to pick up bunny poop in its original form, but a few factors come into play at this point:
So yes, in truth you’ll never have to clean up freshly-made bunny poop again if you get a puppy.
(And that should make whoever was pointing out that MMPs used to talk about puke happy.)
Poo-y puke. DogMom has managed to combine two favorite MMP topics into one. I am in awe!
Glad to hear the healin’ up’s comin’ along good Bobbio.
Thanks - but I’m confused - by blue do you mean one of the original pics, or are you referring to the flatter bowl, because that’s green.
My teacher was really impressed with the shape of the taller piece that my husband did. He enjoyed it so much, he’s going to take the class with me in Sept. So next time, there should be twice as many pots! See what happens when you encourage me??
Thanks! Moose, unfortunately, is a bit too big to carry around. And I think the folks from Bennington might come after us if they removed one of their moose. I don’t know if Squirrel will be making the flight or if he’s a road-trip-only animal. I’ll update you on Monday!
Not all girls are girly-girls, Rue! But since I am at least partially a girly-girl, I really don’t have much of an argument to support that claim. But yeah, your boys will be bringing home girls a lot sooner than you want I bet!
All the poo in this thread is making me SOOO glad that my kitties are really good about litterbox use. And that I’m not scheduled for major surgery any time soon!
Have a good weekend ever’body!
I do! I have an argument! I’m not a girly-girl, not in the slightest. I move furniture. I change the oil on my car. Well, I used to and then my chesticles got too big and I got stuck under a car once so I don’t do that anymore. I hate shopping. I luuuuurve power tools. R-R-R. I won’t watch a movie unless it contains car chases or people blowing up stuff. Preferably both. OR if it’s funny. That’s good too.
OR if it’s Science-Fiction. Funny Sc-Fi that blows stuff up is great.
AND, of course, I have a puppy. Who eats dang near everything. Including bunny poop and kitty poop, even though we have no bunnies or kitties. However, they do get into our yard on occasion.
Which is how I know so much about poop-flavored dog puke.
May I step into MMP for the very very first time and interject that I KNOW the above to be of the purest and most absolute TRUTH?
She is SO not a girly girl (I used to have to stomp my feet to get her to wear makeup on dates when in college), shopping was right out and power tools (and geeky gadgets) are her favored prezzies. Oh, and her chesticles are HUGE.
I think I now love the term chesticles, and will use it in everyday conversation.
BOSS: So, how’s that data feed going?
ME: Great! And my chesticles are great too!
Ummm…no. But it’s a great term anyway.
Oh, and if scout gets Katcha, I claim Soupo. They are both so sweet!
Susan
Defiantly both a girly-girl and a tech girl
