It’s funny you tell this story, as I just passed my 28th birthday in May, and there was a moment where I thought the pilot had stomped on the brakes (directly over the Mississippi River no less:eek:)
Company’s coming??? Oh no, I need to lose 20 pounds and get new carpeting.
Firday there was a message on my machine from cousin Sarah who I have not seen in 4 years. Fast forward through conversation. My sister Susan, Sarah, and I are getting together at my house July 26. I have been talking about getting new carpeting for years, and this is the impetus I need, so Susan and I picked out carpeting on Sunday. Hopefully it can be installed before the get-together. But think I can lose 20 pounds by then???
Because no one asked but I know you’re all dying to ask… 
It’s not all of it, but it’s most of it.
Depends - how much does one of your legs weigh?? :eek:
Do we have FCD’s permission to whistle?
I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t give a rat’s ass… unless said whistling occurred within our hearing when we were trying to sleep.
Tonight’s supper will be cod with some stuff on the side. Gotta decide on the stuff.
Irking from home this week.
Just Blurf.
New cast tomorrow. Please remind me to never, ever break my ankle again. FTR, this sucks.
Doggio I am fairly well convinced that I need a new stove. I also hate spending money. Well, I like spending money, but I wish it grew on trees. So I hate spending money. You cook a lot. What stove do you have? Any advice or recommendations?
I’m still trying to figure out why grits were recommended for ants. it sure seems like you’d just be feeding them. Borax though… 
Spidey and Dogbutt are safe, then.
Howdy from da cave! I survived irk and a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig tstorm. Looks like there could be more on the way. Anywho, I have changed from irk pants to goin’ out in public shorts and waitin’ on OYKW to get here which should be soon. Then we shall go to margarita night at the really good Mexican place. I said I’d be the DD so’s he can have a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig margarita or two. I shall imbibe of only one regular size margarita cause I’m nice dammit!
Only one margarita,** swampy,** so no drnuk psots? 
My getting distracted too easily reached a new, uh, bottom today. I was practicing my clarinet and writing music, but had this computer open next to me, and during a break in writing music I found a picture of someone’s naked butt on Instagram and it made me laugh! (I swear to God I came across it by accident, I wasn’t actually looking for guys’ naked butts on Instagram!)
My life is pathetic and ridiculous sometimes. 
I shouldn’t be so cheeky, perhaps.
It’s so warm out that I had a cold shower today - no, that’s not related to the story I told above.
Supper was brought to us by the letter “C” - cod, corn, and croissants! 'twas yum. Ice cream later.
We’re back from margaritas and Mexican commestibles. I had some really good chikin and beef burritos with rice and refried beans. OYKW had a beef 'n chikin quesadilla with rice and refried beans. Fart fest to follow. He had only one biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig margarita and I chose to forgo a margarita and had iced tea sweetened with mango which was really, really, really good. 'Tis rainy out. We’ve had a couple tstorms come through. Over the past three hours the temp has gone from 95 Amurrkin to 75 Amurrkin. Nice!
Midget ain’t nuttin’ wrong with a good <snerk> butt giggle <snerk>.
Shows what either of you know. It’s always PBR.
A red neck, white socks and some Blue Ribbon beer.
Not really; at all. Right hand to God - it just looked carved in the hair and dyed. Got to ask some of the Jewish ACErs if they noticed it.
I believe most human heads go about 20 pounds.
(Actually I don’t but I think in a former life I may have been a headhunter.)
It is 96 in the shade, and 108 in the parking lot. I think that qualifies as “hot”. Having a beer and making dinner(Sriracha curry chicken with ghost pepper curry quinoa and Trader Joe’s grilled frozen cauliflower. I get to go into work at 0500 tomorrow.
I have the GE gas stove that came with the apartment. If I every win the lottery ,I will buy on of those $7000 commercial grade Viking ones.
And I hate spending cash when I don’t have it.
Ruble, I drank PBR when I was a child.
Midget, unexpected butt, cold shower, distractions. And they are “not related”:dubious: Will you sell me a ocean front property in North Dakota next?
Moooommmm!, ouch.
rosie. whoops!
Badish Six Flags adventure of the day: we decided to get a couple burgers in the park. $13.50 for a burger and fries but as season pass holders we get 50% of a second order or equal or lesser value. Gave our order and the young lady asked for $27. Huh? Explained about the 50% (this is standard and is on the signs in the place) and first she denies it. When that fails she claims that because we didn’t order matching burgers it didn’t qualify. OK – we need to see your manager.
Manager comes and after several tries admits we’re right “but I will have to cancel the transaction and ring you up from the beginning”. So what are you waiting for. After stalling and screwing around with this its 15 minutes later and our food is heading towards cold. And my burger (no onions clearly on the slip) is loaded with onions.
Thank you and come again.
I don’t think so.
Other experience we saw. Friends saw this gift pack with a cheap shirt, hat and bag for $20. It had flags and perfectly matched Prides colors so they are getting two. And since they are getting those they picked out several other things. Get to the register and learn (despite no signs or markings) the gift pack can only be bought if you pay $20 to join a “buyers club”. These two guys are platinum pass holders! And we had a special convention deal for 20% off any item for sale in any gift shop.
Sorry sir; you cannot buy that. But of course I can ring up the other things. And then she seemed insulted when our buddy said no thanks.
Nice rides but they need to visit any other park in the universe to learn customer service.
Time to wash off the calamine and put on a fresh coat.
Poison sucks.
MWAH!
swampy, I knew you’d like the butt story.
doggio, I’ll send you your oceanfront property. Just open up your internet and I’ll teleport it through.
Sario, you turned 28. So I guess I’m only the second-youngest person in the MMP then, at 30 years old.
I bought some calamine lotion myself, hoping it would help with an itchy spot on my leg. I don’t know what caused the itchy spot - whether it’s some sort of bug bite, or if it’s some minor itch that I over-scratched. The paranoid part of my brain likes to tell me it’s a tick bite and that I now have Lyme disease, but I don’t feel particularly sick. In any case, I imagine it’ll heal, and the lotion seems to help.
