gotti, the beard/moustache thing wouldn’t work for me, as I haven’t trimmed mine in at least two months. I really want to be able to wax and curl my mustache up at the ends, just a little bit.
kopek, sorry I couldn’t figure out your nickname, but the trip sounds AWESOME, especially if I wouldn’t have to drive!
BBBobbio, yeah, but that’s to say nothing of the webfeed. Technology comes and goes, but peeping Toms are forever.
gardentraveler, god, I m terrible at nicknames. Without being too specific, I’ve gone from retail pharmacy (Walmart) to working in a children’s hospital. Wildly different, but hoping that it’ll give me the extra oomph I need to get into pharmacy school next year; if that’s a fail then I’m moving on.
And I’m still waiting on a callback from the TSA, they have gotten one afternoon wasted on a screening test, which they emailed me that I had passed, but now there’s a credit/background/anal check, or something.
swampy, forgot to mention: we buy ours by the case on Amazon. Is that good enough, or do we need to get them to bring a pallet?
And thanks everyone for the welcome back. MMP’s are just too tiring to keep up with full-time, and it used to be that if I didn’t catch it Monday morning, there were /pages/ to read come Tuesday.
** Swampy** - I only eat fish during Lent in a spirit of penance.
Pony seems a good deal better this morning. He’s moving on the sore foot, although when still he standing with his weight off it.
Off to irk. Joy.

Good morning!
Welcome back, Snakes and donkeybear!
My Dad cracked me up this morning. I was getting ready for irk, and was making my lunch, when I complained of a stuffy nose. He told me there was some Vick’s VapoRub in the medicine cabinet. :rolleyes: What am I gonna do, put a dab under my nose on top of my makeup? And go to work? <sigh> He’s so sweet, though.
We have a 40% chance of rain today, and 60% chance this evening! Yay! And more promised for tomorrow and Thursday.
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain! Maybe it will put out some wildfires. :eek:
Happy First Day of Summer, y’all!
donkeybear orderin’ tp from off the intartoobz is pretty impressive.
Howdy from irk. Just postin’ cause I can.
[shame]I also get cereal and vitamins auto-delivered every month from Amazon[/shame]
That whole Prime deal is such a scam, because any time I need ANYTHING, I say to myself, well, I can get it in two days…
Gawd, there’s been a whole new lexicon added to the MMP. Sooner or later, I’ll poke my head in here and not recognize this as English anymore!
Ruble — Swampykins promoted or adjusted me for inflation.
It actually works out fairly well. After the long drive (we’re allowing two days and a short lunch stop at Knoebels) to get to Funtown in Maine everything basically falls around an hour or so apart - give or take. We got our shots and passports in order so we can even finish at Six Flags New Jersey. Maybe - just maybe - depending on how shot we are at that point we may do a short visit to Dutch Wonderland on the way home.I forget the exact order but its basically Funtown, Lake Compounce, Quassey, Canobie Lake, Six Flags/former Riverside, and Six Flags NJ.
Note: we are professionals with years of training and membership in ACE, DAFE, Coaster Zombies and other organizations. Do not try this at home or with children under the age of 23.
My wife had the exact battleplan on her computer
Sat., July 2 – leave for Valley and Knoebels
Sun., July 3 – arrive in Maine
Mon., July 4 – Funtown, then drive to NH
Tues., July 5 – go to Canobie, then drive to MA
Wed., July 6 – go to SF NE
Thurs., July 7 – drive to CT, go to Compounce
Fri., July 8 – drive to Quassy, go to Quassy, start toward NJ (arrive in NJ?)
Sat., July 9 – finish drive to NJ, go to SF NJ
Sun., July 10 – start home (arrive home?) Dutch Wonderland?
Mon., July 11 – arrive home?
Very close to there, actually - Rockmont.
Still no kitten pics. taps foot expectantly…

Post 18! Look up there! At that face! (I dunno if it’ll even work, stoopid irk computers have a filter that blocks things at random. Thank goodness I can get on here and wikipedia.)
First day of summer, and it’s a Spare the Air day. It’s only supposed to be 95 today, but I think it will go over 100. It was 85 inside the house when I left this morning and that was with the windows open all night. It was only 65 outside. Someday, I will have A/C. Or at least someplace with decent insulation.
I’m on dialup right now, dear. Kitteh pics will be posted as soon as I am back in civilization.
I heard from our refinance lady at the credit union - our appraisal came in way over what we need to do the refi with rolling the HELOC into it at the same time. So yay! She said we could close on Friday! WOOHOO!!
We had a little rain over night, but now it’s humid and warming up. The next couple-three days promise to be brutally icky. I really need to get out there and mow, but I just don’t feel like it.
OK, question for the cat-folk here. What will make a formerly mellow kitteh suddenly jump - literally - at seemingly nothing? Taz seems to get spooked at the dumbest things. He’ll be licking himself or scratching himself, then suddenly leap 3’ in the air. Or the other night, I was knitting and he was curled up next to me. I reached over to pet him, and he launched himself off the loveseat to the floor where he looked really confused. And one night he was lying across my arm while I was watching TV in bed. I shifted to get more comfy, and he shot up and off the bed, scratching my wrist rather nastily. He’s never done anything like this before the last couple of weeks. Ideas? Or is he just nuts?
hangs head Yes sir. I won’t let the TP situation get so dire again. As for the English position, who knows. I called and they’re starting interviews so if I don’t hear from them in a couple of weeks I’m giving up. Again. This is starting to get old.
Your house is haunted. :D:eek:

Howdy Y’all! I made pepper steak for dindin courtesy of a slow cooker. What a wunnerful invention. Slow cook all day and dindin is ready! Except for the rice. I had to cook that cause, well, what’s pepper steak without rice, right? We et earlyish and OYKW is at his place doin’ a ton o’ paperirk poor thing.
donkeybear I’m all for orderin’ stuff over teh intartoobz. BTW, OYKW is the same as ACBG. I just started OYKW, meanin’ ol’ y’all know who a while back. Glad to clear that up for ya.
Spaz as long as the lesson is learned it’s all good. I’ll keep appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed for the English position.
Yay for house refi and closin’ date MOOOOOOM! Also cats are insane,so there’s your explanation.
Shadow I would melt without a/c! :eek:
Hugs, Yays, Boos, Pats-on-Back, Smacks-Upside-Heads, yums, and a smattering of eeeeewwwww! Please distribute as needed.
There. That should cover it.
This looking for a house lark is not fun. And the relo person didn’t tell me to bring a bunch of ID stuff with me to fill out applications so it was frantic this afternoon with faxes and scans. Hopefully we get something.
I did get the temporary accomodation sorted out for July given we are not packing up until Aug 8th.
It is hawt here in Oklahoma…
