If you think that’s fun, try pee that’s a combo of vitamins, ketosis, and low water consumption. It looks like beer, and we’re not talking Miller Lite, mind you.
Sorry, I don’t have anything to add to the topic of pee.
But I got my computer back yesterday. Which is good and I’m happy, but it means that I’m expected to actually do WORK now!!
Who put the smackdown on the IT guy who has it in for you?
I now have this mental image of taxi puttin’ the IT fool in a headlock and yellin’ “Gimme back my #@%&*%! computer now fool!” It amuses me greatly.
There’s cake in the break room! It’s a Bday celebration. YAY! Cake! I’ve been thinking about cake all day and now, there’s CAKE!
I stayed home today with a migraine. It woke me up at 3:00 am and I was sick for several hours. I finally got to sleep some, but I feel all sort wrung out.
The hubby wants to go see War of the Worlds tonight too. I’ll probably go with him unless I still feel like utter crap.
I have nothing to add on the topic of pee.
I’ve had some interesting experiences with lightning, but I’ll post them later.
Was that a quick drop in-drop out by dangergene?
I think I’m gonna try and nap some more.
Taters, I hope your head is un-hurty now! Migraines are the worst–I used to get a really weird kind of migraine, and I was misdiagnosed (by the head of the ENT dept at UNC Hospital, one of the ten best in the country, or so they say). Another doctor figured it out, and now I know what triggers them, so I can avoid it most of the time.
I feel kinda used–I actually pay for my newspaper! If I don’t pay, they quit giving me newspapers. Hurts my feelings, really. But I get the Sunday paper and the Wednesday food section, so that makes it all worth it. And then I re-use the paper in litterboxes, so it’s very practical.
I got some groceries at lunchtime, so now my fridge is stocked up with blueberries and baby carrots and all kinds of healthy stuff (and a can of whipped cream). Why are apples so expensive? I had a yummy southwestern wrap for lunch, with a ginger cookie for dessert.
swampy, I’m glad Twuck is okay! We care, really we do!
Aw, geez, don’t encourage him!! 
We had a thunder storm last night that freaked out the cat. He spent a lot of time sitting at the foot of the basement stairs, only coming up to have dinner. When I went back down after dinner to empty the dryer, he was crouched in a pile of dirty towels, and he stayed down there a good long time. When I got up in the middle of the night to pee (no further details to be provided) he was on the foot of our bed, and the rain had stopped.
Tomorrow will be a singularly non-productive day. It’s the annual command picnic, which I am not attending. I went once, the food lines were insanely long, it was hot and humid (as tomorrow will be) and it wasn’t fun. I can’t do anything during Open House, because the place will be crawling with uncleared family members. I had to store all my classified stuff.
So I’ll sit in my office and try to finish my last 2 training exercises after the Open House portion is done. Not that it matters - I just found out that no one knows where I’ll be assigned once the training is done. Apparently the group I thought I was joining has no place for me. No big - I’ll do whatever they want, as long as it doesn’t involve commuting to DC.
I’m sorry about the migraine, Taters. Hope you feel well enough to go to the movie later. That would be fun.
I should go make lots and lots of food. Timing eating-before-dance-class is tricky. I have to have eaten lots, but enough time before that I’m unlikely to feel full. This calls for careful planning and calculation.
Yesterday at the Asian grocery store, I bought a package of instant soup. “Grace Brand Cock Soup Mix”. It has a rooster on the front, and says “Spicy!”. I thought that would amuse everyone. I’m going to give it to Driving Husband. He’ll think it’s the coolest thing ever.
Oh yeah - War of the Worlds. We’ll be going to see it sometime. I don’t like going to the movies for the reasons swampy cited, plus I think the experience is overpriced. I’d rather watch a video while stretched out on the couch in comfy clothes. However, he really really wants to go, so I’m going. Oh, and not only do I not like going to movies, I really don’t much like sci-fi. It’s usually poorly done and I can’t stop myself from mocking it. I pissed him off when we went to see Signs and I made snarky comments throughout. But it’s my wifely duty, so I’ll go and try not to snark… much…
But snarking is so much fun! I’d go crazy if I had to hold all the snark inside. You have to be careful with that–too much unreleased snark, and you could explode, and everyone around you would be hit with snark-shrapnel, and it would be just ugly. So it’s better for everyone if you go ahead and snark.
I’ve had a very productive afternoon at work–I got some paper clips with happy little internal organs! I’m not sure what they all are–there’s a kidney, and one that’s possibly a spleen, and several others, all with little smiley faces. I’m really jealous of my co-worker–she has push pins with all the happy little internal organs. I want those. I have a brain stress ball, too. I like to squeeze it and say “Braaaiiinns! Braaaaaiiiiiinsssss!!!” It’s almost better than my stress ball that makes disgusting noises when you squeeze it.
Well, *someone *had to do it.
Actually, IT Guy has been pissing off lots of people lately. So there was a collective smackdown.
I have to agree with MagicEyes. Snarking is fun, especially when at the movies! You can point out all the stupid stuff that happens. How can that NOT be fun??
Well, if you go with a serious movie fan, he could tend to be very unhappy… I told him I’d try to behave. I will try. Maybe if he gives me a chocolate love offering???
snerk
drags mind out of gutter
<snerk>
Not enough <snerk>ing around here today! We need more <snerks>!
Smackdowns are fun, but collective smackdowns are funner! I think your IT guy let the power go to his head, and he just went too far on his little power trip. I’ve never, ever had to work with IT people like that. All the IT people I’ve worked with have been very helpful. It sounds strange, I know, but it’s true!
I snarked at that show with Mama Hilton last night. It was very snark-able. I watched the whole thing, and I’ll probably watch it again. Should I be ashamed? Her face looks like it’s almost completely plastic–I don’t think there’s much of the real woman left.
I considered rewording it…
Well, yeah, but it’s a state-wide newspaper. He said that I can hopefully transfer it down to Arkadelphia when I go back to school. If not, though, it’s a monthly thing that I can cancel at any time.
And it’s time to sing the “Susan is a klutz” song. C’mon everybody - sing along!
See, I was walking up to my car in the parking garage at work today. I always park on the fifth floor and walk up and down the stairs, because I feel like I need the extra walking. Every step helps! Anyway, I was thinking how lucky I was not to fall up the stairs (as I have done before) as I was walking up the stairs between the third and fourth floor. Of course, you all know what happens next. bam Ouch! Knee!
I do count my blessings - at least there wasn’t someone walking up the stairs behind me, because I was wearing a really short skirt, and I tend to not like sharing my underwear with the world. I did manage to pull myself up, and after a few silent seconds of colorful language, walk up the last set of stairs. Now my knee gently aches. Ah well.
But on the good side, I’m getting excited for a weekend away. I get to see my sister and her family before they move to San Diego. I get to see them again in August, but not sure when I will see them again after that. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
Susan
So, what happened here? Everyone decided that we’d worn out the poo and puke topics and we moved on to pee? I think we need to announce upcoming topics so that we (meaning “I”) have time to reflect appropriately upon them. I have nothing to say about pee.
No, I’m pretty sure it was a figment of our collective imagination. Sorry about your migraine, by the way. I’ve only had one series of migraine-like headaches about 10 years ago when I had mono. It was not fun. Hope you’re feeling better and can enjoy the movie.
Chocolate love offerings, cock soup, collective smackdowns and vast quantities of pee. Oh, yeah, and the continuing saga of the Gonzales family and their…er…fashion sense. Thank you for the giggles; I needed them.
I lost part of my chimney in a lightning-related incident last year. I’m not sure what hit it, but I heard the lightning strike, felt kind of a buzz and next thing I knew part of my chimney was in pieces. Chimney guy thought it was a direct hit, but it seems like there should have been more damage. The worst electrical impact was that the lights flickered.
Puggy, I’ve had a Krups coffee grinder for about 15 years, if that helps any…
Oh, and Susan, it is sad but true that I don’t sing. The “Susan is a klutz” song sounds really familiar. Only I think I generally hear the “GT is a klutz” variation.
Time to figure out what to have for dinner. Suggestions?
GT
Yesterday it was lightning, today it was a car and it wasn’t a near miss. I got rear-ended on my way to see my mom. I stopped for an emergency vehicle and the car behind me didn’t. At least the ambulance was already there but I didn’t need it. I do feel a whiplash coming on though. It will be my fourth whiplash, the third from a rear-end collision. My car was barely damaged, a crack in the bumper, the other guy’s bumper dent is bigger. He got cited for careless driving. Fortunately we weren’t going very fast at them time.
I still haven’t been able to see my mom at her new ALF because stuff keeps happening. I think I must have really pissed the big guy off.
Well, we didn’t go to the movie tonight. Thank goodness, because I really wasn’t up to it.
The sun made a rare appearance today so the hubby decided he wanted to go out on the boat. I regretfully bowed out because I just couldn’t do it. So, the hubby ended up going out with with two of our neighbors and they had a blast. It was a guy thing and they just now returned. They’ve been gone since around 3:00 p.m. They took some pretty good pictures of their fun too. There is a picture of a pretty spectacular wipe-out with the tube. Talk about timing with the camera. Our friend went bouncing across the water on his back too. The other neighbor wiped out too and literally lost his shorts. Fortunately, he found them again.
I’m sorry about your owie susan. I fell up the stairs at work last week. Unfortunately, I did it in front of a bunch of people. It was most embarrassing. The good thing was that I was carrying a salad and it didn’t go exploding out of the carry out pack I had it in. That would have been very messy.
Wile E, I’m sorry to hear about your car’s boo-boo. I’m glad to hear you weren’t seriously hurt.
I’ve seen the cock soup too. I was snerking mightily when I saw it at the grocery store. My mind ends up in the gutter far too much.
