> [@Tupug Anachi](#): > > And Mrs. bob? How’s she doing? The surgery stuff is pretty much over with; the lupus is behaving barely; and the big problem now is she’s not following the prescribed diets. She wants stuff like chicken cordon bleu, when she’s supposed to be eating chili and other mushy things. She has figured out that she can’t tolerate fatty stuff, whereas I can’t tolerate sugar. That’s going to make grocery shopping real interesting… Oh and in other news, VunderKind is coming for a 4 day weekend at the end of October. 🆒 ---

Sorry you’re feeling crappy, **ems**. Have a vibrating pig. That’ll make things better. I should finish putting the laundry away, but I’m exhausted from insomnia. I think I’ll try to nap, and then get a bit done before work. I hate insomnia. It makes me even less productive than usual.

> [@ems](#): > > I didn’t do nuttin! 😛 There is a story but I am to pukey to type it all so here is a summary: Russian fugitive enters US under the same name as an ex-employee, last record of this name was here so I had to ID (or not) the fugitive > > FBI agent wasn’t quite what I was expecting either… Well, that’s just as unexciting as the time two GBI agents rang my front doorbell at a previous home asking me about an ex next door neighbor whom I never met cause he moved away before I moved in my house. Seems he was being hunted down cause he ummm… “borrowed” some money from where he worked just before he “moved.” Oh, I forgot to mention something that happened Sunday afternoon. Y’all remember I said there’s a dairy down the road from where I live? Well, they had another cow breakout Sunday. There were cows wandering around in the road down by the dairy farm. Not as much fun as the time the cow wandered up in my yard, but still a bit of Sunday afternoon entertainment for the neighbors and me. ---

Hi Y’all. Remember me? I haven’t been around much in the last couple of months. The company I work for merged with another company and we moved our office at the beginning of September. Everything is going well with the new firm. I went from a small, 3 person office to a large(ish) 21 person office. I expected a culture shock, but everyone here is super nice and we all get along as if we have known each other for years. The boss that used to give me fits has mellowed out and we have had enough work to keep us constantly busy for weeks. This is really the first day I’ve had to just sit and get some personal stuff done, like post to the MMP. And the best part? The new office is 3.7 miles from my house, all on side roads, compared to the 40 mile round trip on the highway I used to have to drive. I can actually go home for lunch if I want. I just thought I pop in and say howdy! ---

Donuts Express & Parcel Research DHS Donuts Those are the ads that I’ve seen since 0730 this morning and it is now 1145 hours. **Swampy,** I forget…are Circus Peanuts those kinda orangey-marshmallowey kinda things? If so, I kinda like those, but not too many. A little bit will do me. **Rue,** thanks for popping in and checking in. You know, we all LOVES our **Unca Rue** and just want be sure your doing relatively well. **Puggy,** I’m glad **Mr. Tupug** is doing. I do my best to eat a nanner a day, but it doesn’t always work. I like 'em a little green, not ripe. If the nanners are the slightest bit too ripe, I won’t touch 'em. \*\*Bobbio, \*\* glad to hear that **Vunderwife** is doing better. I don’t, however, envy you your grocery shopping trips. **Ems,** dearheart, sorry to hear you’re feeling pukey. I hope you start feeling better soon. Soda crackers and Sprite usually help my tummy. Back later… ---

I’m so consumed with thoughts of food I forgot: remember the rings I mentioned last week? I took them to a jeweler and only 1 is a real diamond (pro’lly an engagement ring). So what should I do with like 5 fake rings? And how do I sell the one real one? It’s not exactly all that beautiful - not old enough to be an attractive “vintage” thing and not the kind of thing that’s going to get lots of $$ at a jeweler. ---

> [@Lissla Lissar](#): > > **Bumba** , I haven’t received your email. It’s still lissar (bunch of confusing stuff to keep me from getting spammed) at gmail. Could you try again? And maybe I’ll try, too, and we’ll connect somewhere. According to your Straight Dope profile it’s Lissa 'bunch-o-stuff@Hotmail. I couldn’t find your previous e-mails to check your address that way. Anyway, you could try me again, except put [Verizon.net](http://Verizon.net) in place of [Pacifier.com](http://Pacifier.com). We’ve got Verizon DSL and they act as an ISP as part of the deal, so I’ve set up an e-mail addy with them. You could be the first person to use it. > [@Exgineer](#): > > I know scout got her donuts, but I’m still in the dark about Bumba and Lissla donut receiving status. Did you folks get 'em? > > I suppose I could try again with FedEx or UPS or DHL or something. Nope, there are no doughnuts left around here, except one, so I guess you’d better send me some more. Yup, that’s the ticket. OR - you could go back and read my post #55, where I said: > [@Bumbazine](#): > > I too am in possession of six, no, make that three, yummy doughnuts. Thanks muchly Ex. _le sigh_ I had the insomnia last night too, or rather this morning. See, mine is kinda weird, I go right to sleep like usual, but then I wake up 3 or 4 hours later and just lie there for a coupla-three hours, and then go back to sleep for maybe 2 hours until time to wake up. We hattessss it! Hi **Faerie** , hope you get to come back more often now. BTW, there are no ads when you’re in preview mode.

Okay, the onliest Google ad I have now is: “Everybody Hates Chris” Missed the premier? See it at your leisure on Google Video. Sep. 26-29 [video.google.com/chris](http://video.google.com/chris) To which I replied: _“No, I didn’t miss the premier, I avoided it like the plague.”_ We really need a better class of ad.

Yep **Taters** that’s what [Circus Peanuts](http://www.brachs.com/products/product.asp?base_code=182) be. Hee! I got that by clickin’ on Circus Peanuts when I clicked on **Bumba’s** Maple Nut Goodies site. Maybe I’ll get some of those too. I’ll bet they’ll really gross ACBG out. Hey **Faerie**! Welcome back!

I have never in my life had a hotmail account. Try gmail. Straightdope last name plus gmail dot com. Hi, **Faerie**! Working near home is marvellous. I’ve had a nap. Now it’s time to ignore the chores until work (5:00). Well, I’ll do a little bit. Then I’ll slack off. I should probably eat something, too, before work. Work will be heavy lifting. No fun. ---
