Getting wisdom teeth pulled is miserable. Glad you’re better, olive.
Just skimmed everything, love you all, time for bed. See you tomorrow.
That cheese looks icky - I have rules about food texture and colour and that cheese definately violate them! My mom sometimes buys this special beer cheese (made with guiness beer) when she wants to impress visitors. It looks like cheese curds all stuck together with brown goop - I can’t comment on the taste/texture as it too violates my food rules.
As for the slug episode - I have a friend whose brother taught english in Korea for a year, and when my friend visited he found his brother’s apartment scattered with upside-down glasses with numbers written on the bottom with magic marker. “Why” he asked? Because cockroaches die after 7-10 days when kept under a glass. :eek:
I’m glad those who enjoy football had a good time yesterday, I had an excellent time loafing, not watching football.
That sucks about the house, especially at this time of year.
olives, glad your pain is over. Cats love blanketed feet, no? I used to have a cat who was convinced that feet under a blanket were evil evil things that must be killed at all costs. It usually ended with me kicking him heartlessly to the floor. 
Dunno, wouldn’t that just mean that instead of having a slug in my apartment, I’d have half-melted slug…?
Eww… That will be among the top of the list for “Times not to trip and fall.”
Hoo boy, what a day. I had to go help at another store where the manager is on vacation, an assistant quit, then she didn’t then she did this morning. As a result, I have been at work since 0600(with a short siesta at noon).
bobbio, heck of a Super Bowl day. Glad the kid was alright.
BooFae, that isn’t “cheese”, thats New Stuff. :eek:
Hi, Mika, long time no see.
LiLi, I’d buy that tape.
Ellen, Texas Caviar sounds yummy, I might have to make some.
MBG, an evil cat? I want Lucretia back!
It could be worse, olives, Luctretia tried to kill me with a hand grenade once.
QD, I never let the roaches wait that long, I would flick them into a glass bottle, pour in some Zippo fuel, and hold a match over the top. FOOOOOM!
mmmmm…Guinness cheese…
Jahdra, thanks for the info. about Stitches. I can’t wait for your MMP. Please take pictures.
Mork, thanks for asking about the hominy. I had no idea either. Of course, I still don’t but before I thought I was the only one. And btw, thanks so much (dripping with sarcasm) for sharing that stuff about the vicks. Now, you’re not the only one thinking about it and shuddering.
MamaT, sorry about the insurance mishap stuff. Sounds like a bummer.
VunderBob, cooking and fire-fighting–quite a range of skills. Thanks for this week’s MMP.
Alistair, mystery solved and you appeared. . . I finally get to meet the mysterious birthday boy. Thanks for the welcome last week.
Happy Monday everyone!
Bussy, can I keep the Yellow Bus if I do steal it? It would look quite exotic here in Oig’opa (<- that’s how Germans pronounce Europe).
It’s not really “cream cheese” at all, it’s normal cheddar with peppermint cream stuff and chocolate chips. Very peculiar combination because it’s a very solid cheese! I’m not sure whether I’m really prepared to hear what happened to it, I spoke to Bubble yesterday and she said she was thinking of making cheesecake out of it but I’m really not sure how that’s going to turn out.
I’m afraid there may be more icky cheese stories to come! But not as icky as slug and cockroach stories!
I went to the gym last night. I ache. On the plus side, I just checked my online order thingie at the sports place and it says my new running shoes are on their way. Yay! I’m using an old pair of trainers that just don’t have the support in the right places so after a session in the gym, my knees are aching quite a bit. That shouldn’t happen! They’re bionic, ferfecksake…
Roaches and slugs still don’t oogy me as much as that cheese. :shudder: I showed the cheese to ACBG last night. Bear (heh!) in mind that this is a man who is a RN who’s used to all kinds of gross medical stuff and he was oogied by the cheese. If it can oogy him, then it is truly a thing of horror. :eek:
I meant to post a recipe last night but forgot to do so. It’s a recipe I found that includes thinly sliced pork, sweet N.O.T., bell peppers and curry. It was nummy! I’m glad I made enough for leftovers so I can eat some for lunch.
Ollie glad you’re feeling better. Tigs do remember to post in minute detail PapaTigs “talk” with the HR person.
So, what kind of car is it FCM. [del]Nosy[/del]Inquiring cool kids wanna know.
Doggio you do realize you have to post about Lucretia attempting to kill you with a hand grenade. One cannot make a statement like that without backstory. It’s a MMP rule. It is cause I have decreed it to be.
I was wondering where you’d disappeared to, doggio. Sounds like just a little bit too much of a good (?) thing…
Ick…there’s that cheese again…
::it’s ice cream…it’s ice cream…it’s ice cream::
And cockroaches too? Ick, and ick again. (Notice how you fit right in, QD?)
Oh goody, it’s 0 degrees Amurrikan and feels like -12 (translation: -18 and -24). May I stay home today? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!!! I could get so many things done!
But instead, I shall bravely eat my oatmeal, shower, get ready for work and go out the door.
Don’t wanna, though.

This morning it was 5C and raining. Now it’s I-don’t-know-how-much and snowing, but the snow isn’t “catching” because the floor is wet.
I’m convinced that telecommuting was invented for stuff like this. I want to cuddle up in the sofa with my Huge Swiss Comforter That’s Big Enough To Wrap Even My Feet and the laptoooooooop! :whine whine whine: And after a while switch to sitting at my desk looking like a Nava-eggroll with my Huge Swiss Comforter That’s Big Enough To Wrap Even My Feet and the laptop.
I know I’m a wiener but all my work is solo, why can’t I do it from hoooooooome! :whine whine whine:
in that case, eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwww
My brass monkey was singing soprano this morning. The thermometer on the side of the wood shed (yup, I really got one, now that the kid is grown up) said it was 8F when I left for work. It’s also notoriously unreliable, so the temp was probably more like 12-15F. I declare my corner of Nawth Carliner to be 2-cuss cold…
I must have been working for the wrong NASA center, too. I know my share of astronauts, and nobody I ever worked with ever flipped out and tried to kidnap people. You just can’t make this stuff up…
Another TC recipe; I personally haven’t tried it.
This one was published in the paper of my childhood home town. Oddly enough, The Goshen News also used to be a sister pub the the Albeeny Herald, down in Jawjuh by Swampus…
I am so glad that I didn’t click on that cheese picture Monday. What is it with you people and self-induced torture?
Astronaut? Kidnap? Looks like I’m off to CNN.
It’s really cheddar? Who the hell thinks it’s anything like a good idea to put chocolate and peppermint in cheddar? Yick yick yick yick.
How cold is 0 American in Canadian degrees? It’s -13 here right now, with a windchill of -23. I guess that’s warmer than yesterday.
What flavour of nerve tonic would you like, kai? I’ve got gin, rum, vodka, and Driving Husband’s disgusting blue curaco, or however you spell it. Well, it’s probably not that bad, but he makes Vulcan Mind-Benders with it, which are just the blue stuff and vodka. Blech.
The astronaut/kidnap story is incredibly juicy. I’m soaking it up on CNN right now.
Speaking of culinary delights (real ones, not icky cheese ones), I’m making White Chili tonight. I soaked the beans overnight, thinking I had to make the chili to bring to work tomorrow for our annual chili cookoff. But NOOOO. Dumb me forgot that we plan this thing on FEBRUARY 14 every year, the theory being chili cookoff = heartburn = Valentine’s Day. Yes, we’re weird and yes we like to eat.
I am so cold. It was 6 here this morning.
Don’t frag your human(house rule #18):
I bought an Army practice grenade shell at a gun show(because it was cool), and kept it on the headboard/bookshelf. I woke up one morning, rolled over, and my nose touched Mr. Grenade, sitting on my pillow instead of the head board. Hellcat had pushed the thing 2 feet down the head board and toppled it over in an attept to kill me. She missed by this much: |-------------|. :eek:
It’s a balmy 15 degrees freezingheit here in Raleigh, the same temp it is in Omaha. My parents sent me my birthday gift, some kitchen towels. I’ll be 36 Saturday, hopefully halfway to midlife.
bobbio, did you see the mug shot? She has SPACE MADNESS
I’m finishing up my degree in Management Information Systems. Or I will if I can find a way to understand my instructor.
You mean there’s a point where the games actually matter?
