There’s only one thing I can say about this:
WOOHOO!!!
Puggy hearing that Mr. Anachi is all better and is coming home is just the jakeliest jake thing ever! I am so dang glad he’s ok. I’ve been thinking about y’all a whole lot.
MMP and Doper Vibes are the bestest!
Again:
WOOHOO!!!
And another woohoo, other assorted loud cheering and ::stomping of feet:: from the gardentraveler peanut gallery. Go Mr. Anachi!!!
On the Lissla husband topic…In addition to Mr. Lissar (the main, actually married husband), she has Driving Husband (who is responsible for transportation as the Lissar’s do not own a car), Lazy Husband (who I believe offers only entertainment value), Attacks Things Randomly Husband (who was elevated to the rank of husband most recently, IIRC), American Husband (who is missing, I believe; has anyone seen Exgineer recently?), and several that I’m forgetting, because that’s not 7. Many of us are enamored of the multiple husband concept as it allows one the opportunity to delegate responsibilities. (OK…it nurtures our inner princess…)
I am NOT a fan of Tuesday either. Is it Friday yet?

From a conversation with gt a little while ago.
I started out with only one husband- Mr. Lissar, to whom I am legally married. (Or would be if stupid minister, Best Friend, and Best Man had thought to check the name on the wedding certificate :rolleyes: but that’s another story). But during the wedding celebrations Mr. Lissar’s Second-Best Man kept hugging both of us, and saying, “oh, I’m so glad the three of us will be together forever now! What a good idea for us all the get married!”, and stuff like that. So, because he’s very very very smart, he became Intellectual Husband.
Driving Husband, the friend who introduced us, started referring to me as The Wife shortly after Mr. Lissar and I got married. He figured he must be my husband, because he got stuck with driving me around. And he comes over and takes naps and eats our food and drinks our booze. Basically a husband.
Then I proposed to Dishwashing Husband because he came over aand spontaneously did all the dishes!
After that they guys (being Mr. Lissar, Dishwashing Husband, and Driving Husband) decided I should marry the only Saturday-night-video-game-and-pizza-group guy I wasn’t married to. Unfortunately he’s not useful. So I acquired Lazy Husband.
Exgineer thought that I should have a Lazy American Husband to go with Lazy Canadian Husband, so he proposed, and he met my stringent requirements 
although he hasn’t sent me any chocolate yet.
Attacks Things Randomly Husband started out as Friend From Work. I met him last spring, and he got voted into position after he started spending four evenings a week hanging out with us. And Attacks Husband sounds so much better than Friend From Work, don’t you think? Besides, he doesn’t work with me anymore.
It is a joke, but it’s a complicated one. Husband is more or less my title for my close guy friends. Mr. Lissar is so trusting.
And, of course, I have fabulous breasts. Thank you, Tupug. And glad to hear that Mr. Tupug is doing better. Very, very glad.
I can answer this one. Vegan foods don’t contain any animal parts or products so obviously vegan brown sugar doesn’t contain any mole asses.
How could I forget Intellectual Husband and Dishwashing Husband? I kept thinking that there was someone who did dishes, but could I think “Dishwashing Husband”? Nooooooooooo. Too easy.
And all of this makes me think we need an exclusive MMP FAQ:
Q: What does MMP stand for?
A: Insert Ella’s clever guesses here. Also, the real answer.
Q: Who are all those husbands Lissla keeps talking about?
A: See above for extensive explanation, including Lazy Husband’s imaginary road trip.
Q: About that chandelier…?
A: It’s in FCM’s basement, please go get it.
Just the beginnings of an outline. I’m sure it could be longer than the average MMP. Cuz there’s ACBG, Susan’s short-skirt alert level, various and sundry family trees…
Also, I’ve ingested 2/3 of a beer AND it’s after my bedtime.

You can’t tell Puggy, but I’m doing a happy little Snoopy dance for Mr. Puggy. They’re just sending him home, no blockages to worry about? Even better!
I totally understand this. I once proposed to a guy because he always re-filled the ice cube trays. Without being asked, ever.
Yay! After a long absence, the Ridiculously Gorgeous Grandson is back! He’s a grown up grandson (oy is he grown up), so I’m not a perv or anything. Well, not about that at least. So anyway, today I was driving by the sweet old grandparents’ home, and there was their grandson mowing the lawn. It was like something out of a dirty movie; no shirt, shorts low on his hips, work boots, muscles in abundance, sweat glistening everywhere. Not too much or too little of anything, like Og was having a really good day when she made him. Now I’m not the sort to seriously drool over good-looking guys (drooling doesn’t commence until high niceness levels are detected), but when he smiles and waves at me it’s all I can do to keep my car on the road, having turned into a puddle of hormones the way I do. Is this how guys feel when they see a beautiful woman? If so, how do you not wreck your cars more often?
:: drool :: < pant! pant! pant! > See, Ashes[sup]2[/sup] if just your description can make me do that, imagine how it’d be if I wasndriving down the road and he smiled and waved at me?
Today is my first day as Mcdonald’s Management. I think I told y’all about this already, but I can’t see it in the MMP.
I accepted a part-time management position at the McD’s that I worked at in high school, because my brother is going to be starting there in a couple of weeks… as a crew person. I’m the coolest person ever (next to swampbear)
Congrats on the job, chaotic donkey .
Good to hear that Mr. Anachi is better.
I feel for the OP re: the relentlessness of 7 year olds–I have one too (or should I say he has me?). But I also have two teens who have lost the ability (sadly) to do more than grunt, so lil guy is kinda refreshing.
I ahve no idea the purpose of this thread–If I understand it correctly, this is the place to tell you all that I was dressed and ready for work (nurse in stepdown) this AM when the phone rang and I was put on hold for 4 hours. That is, I do not have to go into work now until 1100.
But…but… I am awake and dressed. I cannot go back to sleep once the mascara is on and the feet have been shod.
Damn.
Have a great day! (and Tuesday rocks–it’s Thursday that is soooo awful. Just MO).
This is also the place where you:
Glad to here Mr. Anachi is heading home. Take it easy on the boy, Puggy. No welcome home sex for at least a couple-three days.
gt I like your MMP FAQ idea. Mebbe we can bribe one of the mods/admins into making it a sticky when it’s ready for posting. Perhaps bride them with something bright that hangs from a ceiling?
Bolding mine to correct a spelling error cause I’m feeling all spelling nazi-like today.
Actually, I only hang from a ceiling when it’s for someone very special. What? You weren’t talking about me? Who then? What? OHHH… that kinda bright thing that hangs from a ceiling! Ok then.
Today, in addition to being spelling nazi-like, I have already been a HIPAA nazi. Well, I am our designated HIPAA nazi at work, so I guess that means that’s what I am all the time but today I actually got to put on the jack boots and go all nazi on somebody for sending Protected Health Information (PHI) over a fax machine without a title page stating to whom it is intended, the number of pages in the fax and without the HIPAA disclaimer which says, in effect, “this fax contains PHI, if you ain’t meant to read it, throw it down and run away NOW!” That really is sorta the Reader’s Digest version of a typical disclaimer. Anyways I got all Nazi with somebody at another agency over unprotected PHI. Fax transmissions are permissible but must contain a cover sheet with all the required information and disclaimer. Unprotected PHI sounds kinda dirty don’t it?
donkey congrats on the MickeyD thing. You seem to be happy over it so I’m guessing it’s a good thing. You still doin’ the Wally World thing too? You think I’m the coolest person ever? AWWW… that’s sweet. I’m all blushy. See? :o Or, since I’m so cool, maybe I should blush like this: 
Heil Schvampy!
Ya know, I really do get a kick outta being HIPAA nazi. The power of it all! I bet that person is sitting at her desk trembling in fear (ok, maybe she’s trembling cause she’s laughing) because I nazied her.
I know that you said HIPAA Nazi, but I can’t help but read it as HIPPO Nazi, the mental image of which has made me <snerk> heartily and almost shoot my coffee through my nose.
Lissa, thank you for the explanation. Not so puzzled now. I was going to be puzzled about how you got all those guys to be your husbands, but since someoneoranother said you have great tatas, well then that’s pretty much answered, innit.
Tupug & Mr. Anachi WOOOHOOO! Glad to hear he’s feeling better and all that.
swampy, the mental images conjured up here regarding a bear in jackboots is just frightening. Fortunately Ashes[sup]2[/sup] provided a nice counter-image that I’m gonna hang on to.
Ve haff vays of makink you comply!!!
[Sgt Schultz]I see nozink, I hear nozink, I know nozink![/Sgt Schultz]
no you may NOT call me Ella. now you must die.
(okay I changed my mind. go ahead and call me whatever you want.)
Most sugar in the US is processed using bone char (from animals.) so white sugar or regular brown sugar (which is just white sugar with the molasses added back in) is, very very strictly speaking, not vegan.
BUT, the majority of vegans don’t really follow that rule. Most water is also filtered through bone char as well, and I’ve yet to meet a vegan who avoids water.
I use white sugar and brown sugar because the unprocessed turbinado stuff doesn’t always give the right texture to my food (unless I’m imagining that. I don’t eat the things I cook… I go by look, smell, and touch.) The vegan sugar part is listed there because I copy/pasted that recipe from another place and changed the stuff I changed in actually making it. I used normal brown sugar.
Schvampy, if you’ve got jackboots, does that mean you’re on the short list to become a SDMB Moderator?
I could use a HIPAA Nazi to deal with my insurance company who is trying to claim a routine office visit, HIV test and Hep vaccine are “pre-existing conditions”, despite the fact that I’ve had continuous coverage since the 90s.
Look at that! The Collective Good Will od the MMPers gets beamed at Mr. Anachi, and he gets better! (This makes me happy.)
I wonder if we could turn this power to Evil. Well, not “evil” Evil so much as Puckishly Amusing. Like when Fearless Leader (of the United States- if he’s not your leader count your blessings) shows up on TV (and disrupts my evening Tv viewing) we could make his hair stand up all funny. I wonder if that would be possible. And if we’d all get sent to Cuba indefinitely without a hearing for it.
Hey Donkey, now that you have McClout, can you get them to fry the apple pies again? They were better when they were fried rather than now that they are “baked”. Get on that, will ya?
And when the MMP FAQ comes out make sure you put on it that “Jake” means “good, only better than regular good- more like double plus good”. Some people don’t know that. And that’s not Jake, man.
