Squeeeeeee! A clay kitty-cat bank! You’ll have to post a picture of it, **FCM**. ---

How about polka-dotted raccoons in alien cashmere? I think that sounds interesting. Back from din-din. Just finished booking the Christmas trip to visit Mom. Now I need to move stuff from the washer into the dryer and get to work. Yep…pretty darn exciting. GT ---

1-800-Got-Junk came and got my junk. They even came early and everything, so I got the rest of the afternoon. My living room looks good, if rather empty. One of the neighbors was pissed that I was just “throwing stuff away.” :rolleyes: What did she think I should have done with them, anyway? Everything that went was either a) broken or b) garbage or c) contaminated with a toxic substance, like cat pee. What would someone do with 3 broken chairs, anyway? I made a trip to the Salvation Army with a carload of decent stuff, mostly clothes that are too small. I still have an unbelieveable amount of stuff, though. I had two horrendous knitting disasters yesterday and now I have a problem. I have to knit and mail a tote bag by the end of the month. I have tried and tried, been through multiple patterns and yarns and have absolutely nothing to show for it. Sigh. Anybody want some hopelessly snarled black linen sportweight yarn? ---

[QUOTE=gardentraveler] So where’s **rosie** this weekend? Did she ask permission for a weekend off? [/QUOTE] actually, I’ve been hiding from a migraine. But it’s nice to know I was missed. Hope you all had a pleasant weekend. or at least a better one than I did. ---

Thank God it’s Sunday! I had an new employee disappear today. Why bother getting a job, if you are going to quit after one hour? > [@Spatial Rift 47](#): > > Did the company pay for a makeover or something? I’ll have you know women scream my name all day long! [sub][sub]Mainly because they need more quarters for their till.[/sub][/sub] **SCL** , shift switching sucks, especially if you do it multiple times in a week. **Magic** , as long as it wasn’t “Hail Satan!”, you should be alright. > [@anyrose](#): > > Polka-dotted raccoons in alien cashmere carrying clay kittycat banks That’s it young lady. I’m cutting you off and calling you a cab. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=anyrose] Polka-dotted raccoons in alien cashmere carrying clay kittycat banks [/QUOTE] And we wonder why new folks are often reluctant to come hang out with us. (Either that or _too_ eager, which is possibly more disturbing.) 😃 ---

Rarr! I’m all scary! Do you think I frightened potential MMPers away? Back from work, which was okay but boring, and I made Christmas present lists. I’m going to surf the interweb for an hour, and then go to bed. Life is thrilling. ---

hellooooo MMPers **Rosie** lured me back to this thread, so I’m making a driveby post even though it’s sunday night and nobody’s going to read it. I’ve been in very-very-sick land for the past week, and am now (miraculously!) back on my way to the land of the living. and, at very least, back on the dope. ---

Hi **Dotster**! I’m reading it and very glad to see you. Sorry you’ve been sick; glad to hear you’re on the mend - hope you stay on that path!! You know we think about you and are happy even for drive-bys! Sorry to hear about the migraine **rosie**. Hope it’s gone now. Why am I awake.
