Which in this context … never mind. 🙂 PS – top o’ the page Hunter Ed went well; not a big class but a lot of ladies and others not usually associated with hunting. Dinner was, in honor of the holiday, tacos. (We’re doing corned beef and cabbage tomorrow when I get home from work) ---

I remember a show about multiple births, and a family was featured that had identical quadruplet boys. Later saw the kids in a Tide commercial. What would it be like to feed four teenage boys at the same time?:eek: ---

I think it was these guys. The show was made when they were younger. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/FOctmstGNmI/maxresdefault.jpg "Furtick Quads On Fame + Networking Event") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOctmstGNmI) ---

My MIL had 3 teenage sons. She said she used to have to hide certain snack foods in sanitary napkin boxes to keep her maurading hoard from eating everything instantly.!! ---

{{ **Midget** }} I’m procrastinating on an assignment for a complete bullshit module; ‘employability skills’. It’s a compulsory government required chunk o’ nonsense, and has been taught by someone used to dealing with 16 year olds. The whole thing has been frankly embarrassing. Now it’s over bar the write-up, but I don’t _wanna_. It’s annoying, I know I only need to pass, so only 40%, and it won’t probably count at all towards my final grade due to the way their grading system works. Only the best two (or 3? Can’t remember) module marks from the first year count towards the final grade, and frankly I’m hoping the bullshit module is not one of them. I want to have a grade based on stuff I actually came here to learn, not on this nonsense. But I can’t make myself turn something in I know to be crap, even though I really kinda want to. Anyway, can I borrow your ‘No Snow’ signs **Swampy**? I suspect it won’t really amount to anything 'cos it’s just not all that cold, but forecast is now for possible heavy snow again this afternoon. Then I really _will_ be shouting at clouds. ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 64 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 80 and cloudy for the day. We shall see. It was supposed to rain yestiddy but didn’t. That was a good thing as the weather was right pleasant. Rain is supposed to come in tonight and be here tomorrow and Tuesday. The St. Pat’s festivities over to the church house went well. Lots o’ food and a hyuuuuuuge crowd! The Parish Hall was full plus we had people in the All Saint’s room (multi-purpose meetin’ room), choir practice room, and narthex. The entertainment was also fun. However, about seven-thirty whilst the festivities were on-goin’ OYKW and I decided we had had enough and got outta there. We went to bed about nine and the next thing I knew, it was seven a.m. > [@MOOOOOOM](#): > > What?? swampy’s gay?!?!?!? The classics just don’t get old! 😃 Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then purtification for deheathenization must commence. Also I need to start movin’ stuff out of the kitchen that needs movin’ as the kitchen will be de-wallpapered and painted this week. Rah. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

**Mooommm** , look at MicroCenter, they still sell brand new Win7 machines under their own brand, PowerSpec. I’m on my second one of them (in about 7 yrs). > [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Please bear in mind the Carnivorousplant education fund. Was second grade the hardest three years of you life? > [@Baker](#): > > At 9:02 AM this morning I sipped at my first Guiness, being the first to get one legal like in the bar. One guy did get two shots of Jameson’s before me but **I had the first beer!!!** I did order a coffee before that, so I could nail down a seat for a while, before walking up to Kansas Avenue a viewing the parade. I got coffee then at another place, and chocolate at my favorite shop. Saw part of the parade, went back and had another beer, then home. [Party on!](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B98D8EKCIAAxf0m.jpg). I did not partake in drinking festivities but my haid is throbbing, & I slept thru my alarm so I’m _not_ doing the race this morning. (:(); however, I did something that I didn’t think was possible yestidy. I drove over 300 miles in NJ alone. Two cool photo shoots in opposite ends of the state. Thank Og for all night diners since I wanted something to eat but didn’t want to eat (anything else) in my car, which ruled out Wawa & all the bar kitchens were closed. I didn’t get home until after 2 & to bed until after 3, which is _why_ haid is throbbing & I overslept. > [@dogbutler](#): > > Canes lost. 😕 I heard. 😛 A teenager is an appetite covered by skin. ---

Up and caffeinated. Cleaned the cat box, load of laundry going. Off to the barn, then craft day with my girlfriends. Midget, if you can’t do anything else, sit in the sun.
