The office IT crackdown continues. Not only did the pinheads block access to important stuff like The Straight Dope, but they also managed to firewall \*.mil addressen, including the military e-mail system. Just who do you chuckleheads pays our exorbitant salaries? Could it be, THE NAVY? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Morons. :smack: :smack: :smack:

I got nuthin else.

Happy 29th, **Mas0nry**.

Happy Birthday, **Brick**!

Lots and lots of **girly thoughts** headed your way, **LiLi**.

Heh, **A[sup]2[/sup]**, I see you can still post without taking a breath. 😃

Wow, **Bobbio** , that’s some deep-thinking IT governance you have going on there. :rolleyes:

Tired. Guess I should try falling asleep.

Hugs all.

Of course! I’m all about tradition, I am. 😃

Boy, when you piss off the plumbing gods they can really get vindictive. :eek:  
I told you about my adventures yesterday. Well, all that yard-digging etc., got the toilet and tub draining just fine, but the bathroom sinks were still stopped up last night. I don’t believe in coincidences for the most part, but sometimes things do happen at the same time. The sinks drain into an inch and a half line that shouldn’t have been affected at all. However, said line was about 20’ long, with 3 90 degree corners, and NO cleanouts. Couldn’t get a snake down it nohow! So today I crawled under the house and cut the center out of the line and installed 2 cleanouts in strategic places, and snaked the line clear while I had it apart. Only took me 6 hours, including 2 trips to the hardware store, 'cause I’s dumb. Got done about 4pm. Hurried to the bank, and then, just 'cause I know how to have fun, I decided to mow the lawn. :rolleyes:

I’s tired!

And, by the way, Happy Birthday, Brick!!!

**Buttercup** , The Powers That Be? I don’t think we have any of those. 😛

Gotta go watch NCIS now.

I could have been foot goo but my fungus is clearing up nicely and hopefully I wont need the foot goo much longer.  
I think I did better on today’s quiz than I did on my last one. One problem though - I studied the preterite tense and I studied my vocab flash cards but I forgot to study the vocab that was actually on today’s quiz. Oops. :smack:

Who am I **taxi**? I am Ashes Comma Ashes, millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht. Hmmm… gen’rally, I just hang out, bulking up my ridiculosity muscles, swimming in the stream of Consciousness, fending off-- currently totally true-- charges of over-caffeination. Otherwise, nothing really jumps out at me. Looka there! Something shiny!

So today I cleaned the living room’s Disaster Magnet Chair. If anything is going to be spilled, shed, or barfed upon, it’ll be the DM Chair. Which it totally deserves because it lures you in with it’s extreme comfyness and then reaches out and makes you spill your tea, upsets your kitty stomach, or shakes you till your fur is a quarter inch thick all over itself.

A very disturbing development has developed. One of the cactus cuttings I’m rooting is taller than the others. From the street it looks like they’re making a rude gesture. Which would simply be amusing except that it’s distracting from my witches’ fingers bouquet and eyeballs and insects wreath!

Went to the meet-n-greet and got all but one of the pictures I needed. Now I’ve discovered my printer doesn’t work anymore; it won’t even power up. I didn’t need it to print pictures; WallyWorld does it much cheaper than I could at home. But I need my printer to print out the receipts for the pictures, or I don’t get reimbursed by the Booster Club for the cost of the printing.

I am so ill…the first game is Friday; I needed to order pictures tonight so I could pick them up tomorrow. Grrrrrr stoopid printer.

We’ve had so many tales of Horrible Roomies that, while it is horrid to have the neighbor’s kitchen try to drown you, I think it’s nice that yours had a perfectly reasonable reason to freak out, **Bert**.

Are they girls? Are they? Are they? Please don’t name them Anne and Marie, those two have to be the most common names in the whole wide world! What are you calling them, uh, uh?  
Speaking of aigs, I have to go buy some. I’m down to one aig, that’s almost as bad as being out of chocolate! (oh, wait, I’m purposefully not buying any chocolate…)

Good morning. Thanks for the birthday wishes. If there’s any left-over lasagnia this weekend, I’ll bring it back and share it with all of you.

Not much going on. I’m trying to wake up so I can head out to the bakery to grab a dozen donuts for the guys at the shop. One secret to getting your car maintenance done efficiently is to bring donuts.

Well, **[del]Buttercup[/del]** err **foot-goo** , the name’s all yours!

A tip o’ the pin to **Bobbio** for what has to be the quote of the week.

Happy Hump Day Y’all!
