Looks like you made mincemeat of the Honey Do list, bobbio.
If the intestines were ground up real good, I’d try the soup.
I had a real busy weekend starting on Friday…which I took off. First I went for my repeat blood work at 6:30 in the morning and the place was jammed so I had to wait. I almost left because the one tech on duty was apparently mutilating people considering the sobs emanating from the exam rooms. Anyway, I sucked it up and, sure enough, he was the worst. I have a huge hematoma in the crook of my elbow to show for it.
After that I picked up my brother at the airport, picked up my daughter, went to lunch and then to see Angels and Demons. I think it was easier to follow than the DaVinci Code.
Saturday, got my shopping done early and then bro and I went to see Star Trek at the Imax. It was real good. After that went home and made a birthday cake for bro. The cake came out kinda dry but the frosting was delish. We had blue cheese burgers and fresh sweet corn for dinner. Yum!
Sunday, bro and I went through Mom and Dad’s old photos so he could take some home to scan. It was kinda fun but kinda sad, too. Dinner was barbecue chicken and sallit.
Cow-orker is back from her vacation today. Thank Og!
I miss Greece. I went in '96 for a couple of days. I’d like to go again for a longer time period, but I’d have to go by my mom’s maiden name. They don’t seem to be very fond of them of us as has German last names over there.
KT taught me to always put the parking brake on when you park, regardless of the terrain. You shouldn’t use the gear thingy to hold your car in place. (OK, can someone explain that better?) Basically, if you don’t put the parking break on, you’re using your gear to stop the car’s motion… or something like that. But it’s not really all that good for the car. So you should use you parking break all the time. Plus, the added benefit of doing this is you get into the habit of taking it off when you get in the car.
The only down side is when you’re driving with someone, if your parking break is in the middle, you end up rubbing against their leg while taking the parking break off. Kind of awkward sometimes.
We, too, went to see Star Trek over the weekend and really enjoyed it. Good restart of the series.
Yesterday we went to the arboretum. The lilacs and the crab apples are gorgeous right now. It was a gorgeous day too and so nice to get outside. Except that now I have a V-shaped sun burn on my chest from my v-neck shirt. Oops. Shoulda used sunscreen. :smack:
If intestines are meant to do the digesting without being digested, how the hell are they edible? And who was the starving bastard who first thought they’d be edible and not just pass right on through unharmed?
Nice OP! I am back from getting my haircut and colored. It’s a beautiful day here in Chicago. I plan on not doing much.
Intestines are just protein, when all is said and done–it’s the acids that are secreted that do the digesting, and the mucus lining prevents that. No more acid secretion and no more mucus production: *voila! * Innard soup!
I was also taught to always use the parking brake in a standard shift car. Dead goats I have no truck with.
Doctor’s appt tomorrow. I hope he can help explain my fatigue. It’s better, but not gone.
I’ve asked a favor of someone at the nearby military base. No idea if their reply is taking long because it’s just lounging around in somone’s email inbox, or if it’s such a weird request that it’s bouncing around the office, looking for someone who can answer. As it is, it took nearly half an hour of rooting around through dead websites to find a contact for the Public Affairs Officer. I felt it prudent to contact them electronically, rather than driving up to the guard house, where I probably would not find a cordial greeting. :eek:
I know there’s a couple military types here - is it common for base contact info to be hard to find, and for there to be a lot of dead www.something.somebase.mil sites?
Seconded. and not just of the sunburned part – we need plenty of the adjoining (covered) parts to be visible; for comparison.
I still do it to this day, and I’ve been driving automatics (mostly) for nearly 10 years now. Old habits…
And they didn’t get their dead goat with a truck, either. It was just a car, and I’m willing to bet it was a pretty small one, at that
Forgot to say Bon Voyage to **Muppet **and GT, and to wish **Lucky **a better-feeling today Take it easy, BTW – you may not actually be ill, but dehydration/heat stroke are nothing to sneeze at and take a while to get over!
Today started out cool, rainy and ick. It’s still coolish (for here in May) but purty and sunny.
Tonight is men’s night at church. Thus steaks are marinated and beer is chilled. Ol’ y’all know who will meet me there cause it’s just easier. Speakin’ of … he gets confirmed as a bonified, gen-yoo-wine Whiskypalian on June 7th. Along with five other adults. He’s excitated over it and so am I for him.
I’ve eaten fried chitlins. If they’re fried crispy not so bad. The boiled ones tasted like I would imagine guts would.
I take two different medications, Cellcept and Adderol. I only take Adderol in the morning, but Cellcept is on a morning-and-bedtime dosing schedule. Lately I’ve been feeling a bit off so I’ve been taking Tylenol too. So to review:
Morning: Three Cellcept pills, two Tylenol, one Adderol.
Evening: Three Cellcept, two Tylenol.
Well, last night I goofed and amidst the jumble of pills and because I was tired, I managed to take my morning pills (including Adderol) when I should have taken my evening pills (the same, but without Adderol). If you have never taken Adderol, it is a powerful amphetamine salt used to manage ADHD. And when I say “powerful” I mean “once you take it you will not be getting any sleep for about eight hours barring full clinical anesthesia or blunt trauma to the head”.
Long story short? In addition to being a bit sick, I got exactly zero sleep last night. And of all the times in the world for these events to converge, it HAD to be this particular Sunday night - I had a final this morning, and I have another tomorrow and a third on Wednesday.
Appropriate and inappropriate emotions and actions to all, as appropriate. Wait, what? :dubious:
Well, everyone else can be poopyheads and ignore you, but I’m glad to see you. Of course you’re welcome back. But in your absence, we instituted a new rule - you now owe us all snacks. And they have to be good snack - no bag generic mini-donuts or store-bought cookies.
How ya been? What ya been up to? Where are the snacks?!?!
I came home intent on killing poison ivy. I can’t find the stoopid sprayer - I think it’s buried in the shed full o’crap. I don’t wanna go in there, but I gotta. Poison ivy must DIE!!!
Poke chops are in the defrost cycle - I’m gonna bread 'em and pop 'em in the oven. Yum. Cabbage and carrots for sides, I think. So healthy!
You are evil ya old broad! I want this so bad for dindin one night this week.
Seriously, I have had me a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for some fried (honest to Og good ol’ southern fried so bad for you) poke chops lately. Haven’t had 'em in years, but want 'em bad! If I serve 'em with steamed cabbage and carrots, that’d make it healthy right?
I MUST fight ignorance. I cannot help meself. Nooner: Here is the explanation of that idiom.
It was a mild joke, given that the goat had decided to be a hitchhiker etc.
Death Chicken is in the oven. My hair is meh. I’m not thrilled with how she cut it, but can’t figure out what is different. It lays differently. The color is all right.
French bread with real butter sounds lovely right about now…
