Even though you’re not talking to me… [QUOTE=FairyChatMom] So we’ll breakfast in Annapolis, then cross over to the other side _\_ :eek: … of the Chesapeake Bay. [/QUOTE] There’s an outlet mall just down the road as you head south. They have a great donut shop there. I’ve been there a few times when wee go up to Easton to visit my (felonious) GF’s sister. Have a good weekend, y’all. Envy me - I’m buying a shop vac so I can get the garage a little clean before the POrkin guy shows up. Ants. Lots of them. They live in the crawlspace under the house. ---

[QUOTE=Exgineer] I would seriously consider calling your loan officer … and lodging a complaint. [/QUOTE] I just got an email from her: [quote=My mortgage officer] OMG!!! I can’t believe that happened! Obviously, she’s being a bit more casual than she’d be with an outside customer, but I do think she’s going to find out who it was as she agrees that we were treated very poorly for being only ten days late. I used the word landlord earlier just as a reference to all those people I’ve paid over the years for the privelege of living in their building. The worst I’ve ever had from one of them if I knew I was going to be late was “just be sure to add the $xx late charge.” I’m just wondering what the odds are that I created the login ID for that rude phone person. To quote (or at least get pretty close) Bill Cosby: “I brought you into this world. I can take you _out_.” ---

I’ll bring the pink flamingo lights and the margaritas. No one is allowed to take a picture of me in a bathing suit until I lose some weight. **Swampy** - the Cottonmouths schedule for the upcoming season has been released. Do you want me to send it to you? ---

Is it ok if I wander late into the party? I brought this keg of beer, and a few dozen bags of pork rinds… ---

OK, I’m back. I did all my theraputic exercises, so I need to sit in the hot tub. And a medicinal margarita is probably in order… Be nice to me. I’m suffering. Poor poor me… Is it working?? ---

Pork rinds? Don’t you know basic medicinal stuff, man? Pork rinds are for leg issues. Jumbo deluxe cashews are for shoulders. Good thing I’m here to set you straight. 😛 ---

I’ll take the pork rinds, **FCM** , I’ve been feeling like snacky stuff. Oh…and a beer would be good too. D’you suppose **MBG** will think to bring me one? Don’t suppose there’s any silly string left anywhere? I’m feeling kinda creative. Oh, and **Dots** , I’m sure **swampy** has pink flamingo lights. **rigs** it’s just culture shock getting to you. It’ll all seem normal before you know it. One of my best friends went back to school after being out for a year and a half and was in tears at first. She made it through just fine. Sorry to hear about the DH’s unemployment woes, **gotti**. How long will it take for unemployment payments to kick in? **Taters** that’s just appalling about your mom. Hope the paperwork goes through quickly. I didn’t have time to experience much of National Stoopit Week because I was too busy. Now I’m just home trying to relax and get ready for tomorrow. It’s supposed to rain, but hopefully we’ll be spared at least in the morning. We’re supposed to be in the great outdoors pretty much the whole time from 9:30 to 3:30 or so, except for lunch. Well…gotta go get something to drink as the beer hasn’t magically appeared through the CD drive yet. GT ---

It was a hundred and two FREAKIN’ degrees when I came home this evening. In the SHADE! This is NOT Arizona, this is Western Washington. What the HELL? Man, I’m a cussin’ machine today. I need to clean up my act or **FCM** will put me in a corner. Hey? Am I too late for the party? I’ll take a 'rita or three. A nice cold slushy type, because it’s so hot and all. Hah! I’ve got the floatie. Hellooooo?? Anyone there??? I’ll pass on the pork rinds, thanks very much. It’s toooooooooo HOT to eat. ---
