Well, everyone, thank you for the un-wishes. I’m surprised the **swampbear** , didn’t say anything. I’m sure he meant to… hey, :dubious: wait a minute… no that’s all crossed out. **FairyChatMom** , did you call **Exgineer** an opium head?! :eek: > [@FCM](#): > > Big ol’ poppyhead!! He may be a **poopyhead** but… :eek: Now, I have to go outside in our 73°F weather and pick some roses. 😃 ---

If I can set up my old computer, I can get some as-yet-unseen-by-MMPers photos of me posted. But first I have to set up the desk. Then I can set up the computer. Eventually. Meanwhile, I know I’ve posted this before but so what: [Me, throwing.](http://groups.msn.com/MRW-misc/studio.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=51) Oh, just got a call back about the Fall Fest craft show in Sept - they’ve got space so I’m getting one. 10X10 booth for $30. There’s no way I can even break even on this, but I want to know what, if anything, sells. And if they’ve got power there, I’ll take my wheel and throw during the fest. Should be fun. ---

[QUOTE=Telperien] Is that a good squee or a bad squee? And how cute were you, I ask? Very, I answer. [/QUOTE] A good squee, very good. I am short on baby pics of myself since I was adopted - they have a couple but I have to harass a family member to give it to me. But if you saw my baby pic you’d just fall in love. I was adorable with big fat cheeks and curly hair. ---

I think it’s an MSN weirdness. I turned the pop-up blocker in Firefox on and off a few times and refreshed the page every time and was finally able to see it. Oh…and remembered one very important item I forgot: Hi **picunurse**! Happy Anniversary! (See, I didn’t say that other word. 🙂 - we really need an angelic smiley.) GT ---

more theatre pics? I have other shots from these shows - and a few from later years, but most of my stuff has yet to be scanned in - so while I do that, [here’s me as Mae](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b75/anyrose/birdie4.jpg) (Dick Van Dyke’s character’s mother) in **Bye Bye Birdie** , flirting with Conrad Birdie ---

I don’t remember the exact years - but these are all between '77 and ‘79: [In **Kiss Me, Kate** ,](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b75/anyrose/KissMeKate.jpg) the director had a chorus of cleaning ladies sing "Another Openin’, Another Show" - I’m on the far right in the turquoise sweater. This is the entire cast and some of the crew of [**The Rimers Of Eldritch**](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b75/anyrose/Rimers.jpg), I’m smack dap in the center, leaning on my elbow. This is the entire crew (and none of the cast) of [**Blithe Spirit**](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b75/anyrose/BltheSpirit.jpg) - I’m on the couch, in the rainbow striped sweater ---

Evening, everyone. It’s still hot here. I want snow, dammit! [I don’t have any baby pictures, but here’s my favourite pic of Quasi-Daughter.](http://www.flickr.com/photos/caldrik/38519832/in/dateposted/) It was taken at a party on Christmas Eve last year. She was wearing an enormous sweater belonging to Attacks Husband.

I have a huge list of chores tomorrow, for my One Day Off. Blech. ---

Heya GT, my chicken is still sulking only for different reasons. I am very dissappointed in the mesquite charcoal I bought and probably the EPA is as well-- talk about smokey! Sorry I can’t buy you a fridge, the Lowes here only lets you buy limited quantities, like with sudafed. I did buy a fancy beveled oval miror for the master bath. And a can of bright pink spray paint. That I can share with you. The admissions fee for Target was fifty dollars today. I didn’t quite make it and so they tossed me out! I have made sure there are no pictures taken of me in the last five or ten years. Maybe this next year I’ll take a chance that the school photographer won’t make me look like a troll, and have a set taken. Naawwww. Off to turn the chicken. ---

Thanks, **Mika**. You’re pretty, too. I decided today that the sole benefit of having put on fiteen pounds since marriage is that my chest enlarged. Well, maybe twenty pounds. It’s still recent weight gain, so I’m still self-concious about it. Mr. Lissar says he likes it, and that I look less fragile. :rolleyes: 😃 I’m actually posting to test out my new weird sig. ---
