[del] **{{{zelie}}}** [/del] Nevermind, then. 😃 Is it home time yet? It’s 92F, which is excessive for the end of August. My house is going to be broiling. I thought summer skipped us this year. It seemed like it was going to go from spring to fall, which was just fine with me. ---

What? We scared you out of it, **zelie**? 😃 ::eats **zelie’s** portion of chocolate:: Yes, **Roo** , they look like large bananas, but aren’t eaten raw. They taste similar to bananas, but have a slightly stronger flavor, I think. Kinda hard to describe. Also, they taste different, depending on how long you let them ripen. Here’s a [nice article](http://www.foodfit.com/cooking/archive/FoodfitsTable_march16.asp) about them. GT ---

Wow, thanks everybody 🙂 (especially **Mindfield** , that’s awesome!!) I talked to my brother yesterday and we agreed that somehow my birthday had gotten mistakenly delivered to him instead of me. My day: 7 straight hours in a windowless basement training room learning a dreadfully boring new work program. His day: In Tucson on business, he was staying at a fancy, expensive hotel where he had just gotten a great massage after accidentally running into all 50 Miss America contestants in the lobby, all complete with sashes. Seriously. Regardless, sounds like I had a much better day than **VunderBob** ’s neighbor! Yikes. And I think **gardentraveler** is giving me an idea. Maybe I should start writing down various addresses and randomly sending them postcards when I go on vacation! ---

I thought I posted here–how weird is that? **zelie** –come tell us all about it. We’re nosey as hell and like to gossip. Oh, and we’re nice, dammit! No group hugs, though–\ I’ve officially given up on the whole Idrive thing. (it’s uploading files onto the school’s server–it hates me). I DID make my very first pdf file, though–for another class. yay! I am very proud of myself for figuring it out. Off to bed–feel chilly and tired. Had a great day at work (again) and got my 90 day review. They like me, they really like me! I didn’t EVER receive any review in my last unit–for 6 years. Nice. :rolleyes: Send me some of those lil bits of chocolate, peanut buttery love… ---

yay! :: yawn :: First day of school, I graded at a B, possibly a B+. I promptly went and delivered several beerverages to mine own self. School is in, routine will be back soon. BTW - when Cuervo was adopted here, since we didn’t really know his real birthday, we established it as the day we closed on the house, since: (A) It was really close to the day Doc guessed at, based on his age at adoption and (2) We’d remember it. So…tomorrow marks Cuervo’s Official 2nd Burfday. There will be celebration in the land, though this will not include tuna, as wet food tends to make the boy gack. And gacking w/o beer is no way to spend a birthday. I’ll forward his birthday greetings… ---

Good Mornin’/Afternoon/Evenin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’ here. It looks like it could be kinda stormish in a little while around here.

I don’t sing to cats who are the wrong color for their name, sorry. My brother’s non-girlfriend’s dad got the diagnosis: colon cancer, metastathized to the liver. As Mom told Lilbro “I don’t think he’s getting the bionic hip.” And this is a guy who was already on psychological treatment for depression and hypochondria. The same brother has a work interview today. He got fired this same month, went up to Pamplona to drop his updated CV in person at a bunch of agents and one happened to need someone for Finance and for our area, so once more it looks like his bout with unemployment will be along the lines of “hi, I’m here to sign up for unemployment. Oh, excuse me, my cell’s ringing… _hello? I’m at INEM, can you call me in ten? Oh. Oh, OK, thanks._ Ehm, actually that call was to tell me I just got a job…” He didn’t really mean to start looking until October, since he’s going to China next month with several friends - one of them was the non-gf, but we don’t know whether she’ll still go or not. ---
