Well, I need it in the same way that **eleanor** wanted _our_ permission to goof off. Unnecessary but fun. Have you ever gotten the sudden disturbing feeling that your teeth don’t fit? ---

I was BEAT today…tired as heck and felt like I’d been kicked around the block by very large steel-toed boots. The hubby and I played WoW tonight for the first time in a long time. The patch did something on the hubby’s computer. When he looked at his screen, none of the other characters had any pants or boots on, or much of anything else… What server do you play on? We play mostly on Proudmoore. We’re even in a guild. I feel so geeky typing this. I play a level 55 pally and he’s a level 55 warlock. Our guild is “The Wardens”. Originally we were Angels of the Alliance, but most of the guildies left that guild, and started our current guild. We should have been level 60 long ago, but we really slacked off and didn’t play for most of the spring and summer. Time to watch some TV before I go to bed. ---

Sorry about that last post, I have no excuse. UP -up date. Hubby’s eye has me worried. The entire sclera is blood red, swollen and lumpy. His head ache is better, maybe I’ll let him sleep tonight. Last night I woke him up about every hour to be sure he wasn’t bleeding into his head. I forgot just how horrid Erythromycin is. You have to take it with food, to keep from throwing up. I ate with every dose, but I’m pretty queezy, right now. My cough is much worse, but the syncope is very rare, so I’m staying upright without a problem. Because pertussis is a reportible disease, I had a long talk with a nice gentleman from Public Health today. It seems he may aready know who Hubby got it from. He said there were other reported cases at the Lazy B. He actually may call to talk to Hubby again. His symptoms where so strange , the guy may do a paper on him. Well, I’ve been up for a long time now, But I think I can sleep tonight. Good night all. 🆒 ---

Tired because of intense physical activity with a certain lightning-bearded gentleman or tired because of some mundane and unexciting reason like you haven’t slept in three days or they made you lift 143 cases of frozen waffles at work? **Taters** , Proudmoore is one of the few servers I haven’t had a character on, I think. Currently, I’m playing an orc shaman on Suramar. ---

But it takes on a whole different slay when Liz Phair sings it. The GF got called back for another furniture store interview. She’s going in tomorrow. She’s worried about the weird questions some interviewers ask. I told her that those questions are usually reserved for management-type jobs, and if they ask them for entry level positions to sell furniture, then maybe she should keep looking for something else. But she feels that this job will allow her to use her design and commercial arts training she got in high school a long time ago. ---

Slant, of course. Not slay. That would just be stoopid. ---

Frolic? Gambol? Fritter? Is that what you kids call it these days? 😃 **gt** I’m glad to see at least _somebody_ here has learned to do a proper, So There! 😛 **FCM** good for **FCD** gettin’ the go ahead to go back to work. I trust it will be “limited duty” type stuff for a while? Ok, I have no idea what he actually does, but that’s usually the case. **picunurse** maybe the antibiotic stuff will keep the pertussis in check at least a bit for you. Glad to know **picuhubby** is doing some better. Let him rest whenever he can. You too, for that matter. Everybody else, hey y’all. I haven’t been around a whole lot so far, I know. Busy times here at work. Today is BOD meeting day. I get to talk about Bench Marks For Success today. See, we’re supposed to update the board annually on this type stuff. This is the month that gets done, so, I’ve been working on a “Management Report” to present today. Like any of 'em give a rat’s behind about it or would even read the dang thing. It feels like so much busy work on my part. Also, I’m negotiating a contract to set up a new job making fabric sample books for futon covers. My life is just a whirlwind of exciting challenges, ain’t it! 😃 At least lunch will be good today. Homemade beef stew! YUMMMM! -swampbear (who’s going to ask ACBG if he wants “to frolic” just to see what kind of reaction I’ll get) ---

I thought of Sesame Street too! Do they make fritters at the Waffle House? I would like to frolic with some fritters…or am I not allowed, seeing as how I am hetero (barely) married and female? Just heard from a friend last noc–she has kicked out her hubby, her brother, been in a car accident and because of severe bronchitis and the accident, she has only worked 2 eight hour shifts this entire month. :eek: Made my neck seem almost a gift. It is COLD here today–wind chill has to be in the 30’s, if not colder…waiting for the Vietnam Vets Van to come and take 6 bags of clothes and coats, as well as an old booster seat, an un-opened toy race track, a basket of winter boots and I don’t know what all else. I feel like I lost 10 pounds! ---

It’s coooooold here too, Eleanor! We dodged the tornadoes, but I lay awake for probably, hm 2 minutes worrying about it before the Sleep of the Exhausted took me away. May I delclare that **The Holiday Season Has Officially Started**? Well, for me it has! I got a Secret Santa gift! Wheee, fun, fun! It’s a very nice little scented votive candle in a glass-and-metal-holder. Perfect for my desk. I need something to cheer me up. I HATE my job, whereas I LOVED my old job. But I have been forced to move into a department I loathe and do work I despise amonst people I detest. Well, that may be a bit strong; but suffice it to say I’ve been moved away from my friends and plopped into Windowless Hell. So, I take all the fun I can get. Holidays, hurray!! Speaking of holidays, Thanksgiving is just a week away, my dear husband is still under the weather and we have to clean out the spare room AND set up the bed in there. When, praytell, will this work get down? I know not. OH and in my defense, I did actually believe Puff was about childhood and innocense lost … but then I was struck by the named PAPER and thought All Was Clear. I do admit to not knowing Puff was a _toy_ however. :smack: ---

> [@Lissla Lissar](#): > > Have you ever gotten the sudden disturbing feeling that your teeth don’t fit? Why, yes, back in the sixties for twenty minutes (nuk, nuk, nuk) but only once…and then the drugs wore off. 😃 **picus** , what an ordeal! I’m sure you will be happy when you and hub are healthy again. I’ve been exposed to some crud by any number of cow-orkers and am afraid I’ll come down with it conveniently next week when I’m on vacation. ☹ **fcm** , bet **fcdad** wishes he’d had his surgery a long time ago. Glad he’s doing so well. I’m about to head into billing hell. Wish me luck. Tupug ---

I always thought Puff was imaginary, but I think **jayjay** is dead on about the toy thing. As Paul McCartney once said “No, ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’ was _not_ about LSD … but virtually every song we wrote after it was.” 😉 ---

Tired because I had just gotten off of work, and had been up at waffle house until similar hours of the night for the last 3 nights. If it were due to my romping with LBBM, I would have said something like “P stands for I got laid!” ---

Waffles, yes… fritters, no. Unless you bring your own fritter, then we can give you a plate so it looks like you ordered it from us. I had to do that last night with someone who brought in Taco Bell food. ---

I had to do that last night with someone who brought in Taco Bell food. 😕 Wow-you can do that at a Waffle House? Who would do that? How odd. Maybe I’ll just fritter away me time at the Waffle House. And then go frolic in the SNOW that is a’fallin’ here near the Windy City. Off to buy Christmas gifts-since I can’t work out d/t my damned neck and left shoulder. Getting old sucks. Film at 11. ---

> [@Lissla Lissar](#): > > Have you ever gotten the sudden disturbing feeling that your teeth don’t fit? Oddly enough, yes. And worse. My lower jaw is actually wrong-sized - I once had a dentist take careful observations and determine that my jaw is longer on one side, causing something called a crossbite. It’s longer by a half tooth width on the right side, so my teeth don’t meet properly. It would be possible to have surgery done to saw out a half-tooth-wide bit fron the back, but by this point in my life, my teeth have mis-shapen to the crossbite, so I’d just be trading problems. It would also be expensive as my dental insurance, like most seem to do, won’t touch TMJ with someone else’s ten-foot pole. ---

Back from shopping–man, tis windy draussen! (German for outside–I guess I am channelling a German today. Not that I believe in that stuff)…ANYWAY There is someone certifiable in my neighborhood–I hear the prrrrr of a lawnmower engine and it is snowing out! :eek: Got youngest a LEGO castle, oldest son a Monty Python DVD, nothing for daughter as of yet. Every year there is one kid who I can’t seem to find anything for. This dubious distinction has been held by all three at one point or another. I still have time. Lots o’ ambulances, firetrucks and cops at the local Payless Shoes as I drove by–I could not see any obvious signs of fire, so perhaps it was a medical emergency… The wind here is gusting up to 40mph. I feel like a winter version of Dorothy. ---
