Thank you sir; may I have another? 
Home of the Electric Amish!!! I knew there was something I liked about you!
Dined, cleaned, laid down, tarhd, sleepy!
Finally done irk for the night.
I’m tired but I still have things to do.
I wonder how long it takes for hair to start growing back in? At the rate I’m losing it I’m going to be bald, that doesn’t make me very happy.
I’ll call the doctor tomorrow.
Survived Day 6 of the work week. Tomorrow is my Firday.
I’m having a Ranger IPA, with Greek style tuna salad sandwiches, and spinach with sundried tomatoes and fwta.
If all of your fathers are from Indiana, can I say Hoosier daddy?
We had a 7 degree actual temp back on 2/20.:eek:
Dinner eaten (it was a bit gross, actually-- next time I’ll thaw out the shrimp in the fridge), root beer drunk, 'tis bed for me.

In more excitatin’ news, my new coffee maker was delivered today! YAY!!! Old coffee maker was breathin’ its last, poor thing. It was a good one in that it was a basic coffee maker that served well for ten years. New coffee maker is also a basic coffee maker. I don’t do the frou frou fancy schmansy coffee thing. What I want in the mornin’ is a hot strong cup o’ joe or three. OYKW is the same way

Sounds like us. Our daily perker is a 1950s style percolator. When I’m on my own, a French press handles the caffeination duties.
We tried and soon abandoned a Keurig machine a couple of years ago. I think DH wanted countertop bling, not knowing the daily cost of the thing or just how mediocre it was at making coffee.
Coffee first thing in the morning? :shudder:
I have to work up to a cup of coffee, being a proper English tea-drinker. In fact, it could probably take me all week to decide I’m ready for coffee. Fortunately I take a stash of teabags when I’m travelling so hexmas in Vegas will be survived courtesy of the Tetley gaffer. Nobody in the coffee shops bats an eyelid if you just ask for a cup of hot water.l
Conga-rats to sah-son on his grades, is he wearing one of his hats and doing a happy dance?
Pub last night was fun, had some very tasty beer (Batham’s, for those who care) but a rather late night so I am tired today. Got yesterday’s meeting minutes to write up today and I have grocery shopping to look forward to later. Oh joy.
BooFae - remember how panicked you were the other day without tea? That’s the majority of Americans without coffee. I’ve got mine. (but I may have to make another pot by 9:00am)
blurf! (stoopit cat)
I have a couple of coffee makers - one small and one large - and they’re only brought out when the inlaws visit. OK, I’d break them out for other visitors also, but neither my sweetie nor I drink the stuff.
So, would someone explain French press to me? I don’t feel like googling the mechanics of it, and I’m curious how the coffee differs from drip or perc’d coffee.
There’s a Keurig machine here at work, and what I don’t get is the guy who uses it to make tea. Really? A tea bag in a cup of hot water is too difficult to manage?? Weird…
It’s raining, I got about 6 hours of sleep, and if my sweetie isn’t on his way north, he will be soon. There appears to be a lot of rain along the I-95 corridor, but here’s hoping it keeps moving so he doesn’t have to drive in it.
Happy Thursday (my Firday!!!)
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 70 Amurrkin out and rainy with a predicted high of 74 for the day and partly cloudy. I suppose the other part of the day will then be sunny (N.O.S.). 
New cawfee maker done good. I’m sure y’all were all anxious to know.
OK, that’s all I got. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy is demandin’ sustenance. Then, alas and alack, purtification for irk must commence. Rah.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
It’s pouring pretty good now - I can hear it from inside! Glad I’ve got my umbrella and even gladder that I don’t have to go back outside till 3.
Time to get all productive!
I owe, I owe, so off to irk I go. Rainy day here today. That is all, 'cept no kawfee maker for me; don’t go near the stuff.
Up, caffeinated, working closing shift. It’s raining, so Princess Pretty Paws will not be going for a long walk today. But it’s payday. and my Firday.
You put coarser grond coffe in the bottom, pour in hot(200 degrees Fahrenheit) water in, let it sit for four minutes, then push the plunger down to separate the grounds, and pour the coffee into cups. I uses a Mr Coffee drip machine.
Boofae, I like a good cup of tea, but I gotta have my morning pot of coffee.
Happy Thorsday!
Well, we’ll see how happy after the furnace man leaves.
It’s raining, so no outdoor irk today.
I don’t drink coffee. I never learned to like it.
I’m all tizzied over Christmas shopping this year. I have no idea what to get Niece2 and her kids. She is kind of, sort of homeless, bouncing back and forth between houses. She is keeping stuff at my mother’s, which has my mother spazzing out. The two older boys are with their father, and I know that house is small and crowded. The two younger boys are with their father and his grandmother.
Everybody (but me and Sah-son) is mad because mom won’t let her move in with her. The older boys don’t like living with their father, not that they don’t like him, but they don’t like the school and want to go back to where they lived before. The younger ones probably don’t care. The HFH is giving my mother grief over not letting the niece move in. Of course she isn’t going to do anything to help other than try to arrange things and then take credit for fixing the problem.
There isn’t going to be a Thanksgiving dinner this year, and I am happy for it. Everybody wants my mother to cook (except me and Sah-son) and she’s not going to. The HFH sure isn’t going to cook for anybody, she only made Thanksgiving dinner once in her life and that was only to impress her now husband. Besides if the HFH is there I won’t be, and if I am there she won’t be, which pisses my mother off at both of us and I think too bad. She always took delight in pitting family members against each other, now she can live with it.
Can you tell I am just tired of all the bullshit?
Not a damn thing I can do about it and* NOBODY* is coming here.
I’m just grumpy because we are going to the armpit this weekend. That always makes me grumpy.
Blurf Awake for now. I am taking the day off today. I could clean or I could just veg. Decisions, decisions.
We have a drip pot and a Kuereg and hardly ever use either one. I usually get my first cup at irk. I can take it or leave it. At irk I have a teapot and bags of different kinds of loose tea. I love me some hot tea.
Lots of rain overnight. Now its just damp and getting colder.
Have to deal with some drama from the one bike club we belong to; the treasurer resigned and is holding some club checks and money hostage. No biggie really - she is just having a snit. But others demand it be a federal case. Its an AMA club I helped start (as a favor to a couple friends) but its looking like the right time for me to find an exit. I do start-ups; I don’t do soap-operas.
What? Didn’t you hear? We voted you the host of this year’s Mumper Thanksgiving. We’ll all be there at 2. I can’t believe you didn’t get the memo…
Back to work now.
Off to work.
My poor sweetie… called my from about 35 miles inside Jawja - he’d gotten off the interstate because he was falling asleep. He was going to try to nap in a parking lot. I’ll be surprised if he gets home tonight - he was still over 10 hours away and he called after 10 this morning, so even if he was fresh and only stopped for gas, it’d be after 9 before he got home.
He should have stayed at his folks’ a bit longer, but I know he was antsy to leave. So we shall see.
I’ve lunched and I’m waiting for my boss to bring me work. Hope he shows up soon - I hate to be idle…
If y’all bring something with you it could work out for me.
Of course y’all will have to bring your own plates, cups, glasses, flatware, chairs… coffee
