While we’re there, let’s give a shoutout to whoever developed Cipro. It’s been killing germs in me all day and much of my pain is gone gone gone!!! ::does Snoopy dance::
I’ll have some cake too. (Of course, that flan that rosie mentioned upthread is sounding mighty good. Maybe I’ll make some - from a box, because I’m lazy today). I’m sure it will help drive away the Sick.
I’ve started a thank-you thread about the Charleston SC postcards.
Hope FCD’s surgery can happen soon and get rid of his pain.
Wow, that sounds like a whole lot of miscommunication, SCL.
Congrats on quitting, rigs. There’ll be plenty of time for a library job later.
And the recipe for the chocolate peanut butter squares is…? (Someone asked for it somewhere back there.)
There’s more, but I need a nap. Hugs and chocolate for all!
I got to go home from work! W00t! Everybody showed up for a change, so I paid rent, and went on a beer run. No Miller products though(Sorry, swampy) Dinner is sketti and meatballs wiht salad for me, tuna and Gravy Train for Maggie.
Roo, if you want a hug with your grope,I’m down with it.
: points and laughs at BBBobbio : I got mistaken for a woman once. :dubious: Glad your neighbor is gonna be OK.
Congrats on the notjob, rigs. Let them eat cake!
gt, I love Cipro. It’s killed all sorts of ickies in me(and Maggie, too).
snowbunny, 200lbs of dog food? Maggie barely eats that much in a year!
It was for several people, I think. And it’s this fancy dehydrated stuff that you rehydrate and add (in the case of the ones I know who eat it) raw ground chicken to (or other meat, I guess, depending on what you prefer), so it does at least go a long way. My aunt’s Clumbers do very well on it, I know, as do a few clients I’ve met. We’re the only store that sells it in Idaho as far as I know!
Job done, so now I can chill and watch at least some of tonight’s meeting on the one local channel. Small town, ya know? They’ve been having open town meetings about the fire every couple of days since the excrement hit the fan, and as of the last one they finally got their act together to get it on TV live for those who can’t or don’t want to go. Should be good news, but I’ll wait until I hear it. We had a bit of lightning around here earlier, so I hope it didn’t start anything new; we need rain, dammit, not dry lightning storms!
I’ve been pre-opped, and VWife surrendered to the po-pos. Nothing more than handing her summons to trial on the 10th. Here I was thinking she’d be pretty kinky in an orange jumpsuit, too.
God, at least you didn’t get a call while you were in there with her–I can just imagine her reaction if you had left her to law enforcement and went out on a call…
She’d be in court for the accident and a homicide.
I know I haven’t been around this week, and I’m sorry about that. I just had to share this video of this stunningly beautiful Chinese dance. It’s performed by 12 deaf-mutes. How anyone can have that kind of timing and not be able to hear the music is beyond me.
What a gorgeous dance! Thanks for the link, Meeks!
I just checked, and snowbunny’s fire is up to 66% contained, from 55% this morning. So that’s excellent news indeed. Here’s hoping she gets a chance to talk up some of the hawt firefighters before they all leave! And I’ll try turning the cable box off. It’s better than being awakened at 6 am by a mutant TV!
Good luck on the surgery, Bobbio. Keep us posted on your recovery!
Aww, you don’t think I’m good? ::: puppy dog eyes::: I’ll try better next time.
rigs, congrats on quitting the job.
Jahdra, fingers crossed.
gt, yay! for germ killing.
doggio, I’m good without the hug. I was just thinking of those people who seemed hesitant. They may need the preface of a hug. But they may not participate with or without the hug, so carry on.
rosie, I haven’t gotten my mystery postcard either. Of course, I didn’t participate in the Valentine’s swap, so that might have something to do with it.
It’s bed time. Have a great sleep y’all! Good night.
(and of course the appropriate good mornings to Nava, Lunch and Dotty)
And Dotty’s song for the night:
[Johnny Mathis]Chances are
'Cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view,
Chances are you’ll think that I’m in love with you.[/Johnny Mathis]
Just for you, Special Achod, (don’t ask me why I still remember it, or what made me think of it) a ditty I learned in Hebrew School:
I is Ani
Ani is Me
Me is Who
Hu is He
Hee is She
and Dawg is Fish
Just a quick driveby before gettin’ ready for work. Purple PocketT and blue jeans today just so y’all know. Yesterday after work I mowed yards. The ones I cut for money, ACBG’s (what, I’m a good bf!) and mine so I was tahrd last night and went to bed early. I promise to be back later today with tales of losing steam power at work and donut sticks from Jesus.
Yep, it’s still dark out and I’m up. I was going to sleep in, but 'twas not to be. I had no problems with **FCD ** getting up for work. But apparently Miss Brandy had issues with me staying abed. Between walking over my person, pawing at my arm, and licking my hand, followed by burrowing under the cover, she succeeded in disturbing my borderline slumber. Then when I made a foray to the throne and my entire entourage joined to witness my morning pee, I knew no rest was forthcoming. So all have been fed, my poor sweetie is on the way to NASA, and I’m up.
Actually, I might go lie down again for a while. I suspect it will be a worthless attempt at rest. Alas…
It’s way too dark to mow yet, but definitely cool enough. The windows are open and the crickets are serenading. But in a couple of hours, I’ll have to don some grubbies and attack the ditch. You may commence to envying me. Or you could come over and offer to help. Because I deserve it. Because I’m nice, dammit.
Morning. I went to bed relatively early, but I’m still pooped. Partially because a certain cat was biting me all night. I may have Meow Mein for dinner tonight.
**Roo **-- you were pretty good… but I thought we weren’t going to tell everybody?
As for translations – it is a translation song. I know a slightly different version:
*Me *is Who Who is He
*He *is She
and *Dog *is a Fish
The left is Hebrew, the right is English, and the idea is a progression through words that exist in both languages, but have (interestingly) different meanings. So, the phoneme “mi” (spelled Me in the song for comic effect…) means “who?” in Hebrew. Etc…
Been to J’lem and back again today, to take Special Teen home for the weekend. Come Sunday I’m taking her there again… and this time for 10 days. And she’ll be coming home on her own next time.
She’s having fun so far, so all’s well for now. Of course, they haven’t started studying yet…
I can see by the lack of darkness that it’s getting light outside. I need to get some proper outdoor clothing on (not just this robe) and I should probably have some breakfast before attempting to operate engine-driven machinery with whirling, sharpened blades.
What I really want to do is snooze.
All I can conclude is that there is no justice. Life is so unfair. Woe is me. Whine. Whine. Whine. Whine.
We looked up the definitions of “Class 1 Misdemeanor” and “Reckless Driving” last night for VWife.
:eek: :eek: :eek:
The planned nolo contendre plea just went to not guilty. She’s guilty of following too closely, not driving to endanger the life of herself and others. She’s going to run all this past the lawyer we’re talking to for the GM case for his opinion, and then we may go lawyer shopping in Virginia for her trial on the 10th.
The recipe is from Nigella Lawson’s How to be a Domestic Goddess, so it’s in weights, not cups and tablespoons. I can post it in that format if anyone’s interested, or try to figure out a rough translation into our baking measurements.
I should leave in a little while to catch my bus, abandoning the cats and all the housework. It’s a lovely, sunny, warm day. Perfect for not being at home.
I was just thinking of those people who seemed hesitant. They may need the preface of a hug. But they may not participate with or without the hug, so carry on.
