Spidey you put tobacco on your omelet sammich? I know people smoke, pinch, and dip the stuff but I’ve never heard of it bein’ eaten. 
Panic time today.
I opened the blinds and look out and what do I see???
The outside faucet with a long icicle hanging from it.
I forgot to turn off the water to the outside faucet.
Sah-son went down for me and found the knob and turned it off.
I’m going to have to make a list. It’s been a long time since I have had to remember such things.
What an icepick! ![]()
swampy, whenI first quit tobacco, there were times that, if given a cigarette, I would not have only smoked the damned thing, I would have eaten the filter. :eek:
What the heck does Johnny Dangerously have to do with disgustingly early hours of the morning?
Stoopit autocorrect, shoulda been Tabasco. Tabasco Sauce, from Avery Island, LA.
We rented a charter boat from irk one time; just guys. We’re out in the bay & one guy breaks out his tin. A couple of people ask for a pinch to try it. 10 mins later, one guy asks for another pinch.
“What happened to what I gave you?”
“I swallowed it”
10 mins later, he was as white as the interior walls of the cabin where he spent most of the rest of the trip. On Monday, he had a new nickname at work, “Chum” (seeing as that’s what he did for us offa the side of the boat) :eek:
Bah. Some ratbag nicked my spade and hand fork from the allotment. The spare spade, not the good one, luckily.
I spent half an hour seaching for the hand fork, thinking I’d just not put it away, before suddenly realising the spade I know I left out had gone too, and though we had strong winds last night, they weren’t that strong.
Oh well, I shall have to go shopping for a new one tomorrow, which will probably mean going to a garden centre, assumes position of woe how shall I cope?
Would that be the Specialized High-Intensity Training List?
I have one of those.
I’m glad I got a three-day weekend. There was IRKPLACE DRAMA this week in which Li’l Red left after having it out with Big Boss. Big Boss has been asking me ever since if he’s too hard on people. I think it’s bothering him more than he’s letting on. Me, I just don’t want to be part of the drama, except I was supposed to go to Gatlinburg with Li’l Red week after next and now I think that’s not going to happen.
But I have one of those mythical three-day weekends and I’m enjoying it. I celebrated by getting my mane trimmed.
I have soup simmerin’ in a slow cooker and a pot roast doin’ it’s thang in another slow cooker. Plus, laundry is done. I need to iron shirts but that shall wait a bit as I am takin’ a well-deserved break. Productivity and domesticity will tucker one out!
We’re back. The show was small and really dull. Definitely not worth $15 each plus the dollar each service fee plus the $8.30 each round trip metro fare. Not to mention the almost $30 breakfast that was not at all worth it. All in all, a rotten Saturday.
But we’re home and relaxing. So there’s that. I don’t think we spent more than an hour at the show. That at least was good. 
Exactly!![]()
Time to hit the sto for some vittles.
MOOOOOOM sorry the show was sucky. I hate to lay out bucks on sucky stuff.
In a little while I shall commence makin’ cornbread. Beef veggie soup 'n cornbread will be just the thing on a cool Winter’s day. YUM!
To be honest, swampy, it could have been the bestest motorcycle show ***evah ***and it would have sucked for me. But my sweetie wanted to go, and since I’m nice, dammit…

Indeed. Salt water aquarium sump in the basement, painting the bike every weekend-you are a Saint!

Soup ‘n cornbread has been ingested. Indeed it was perfect for a cool evenin’. Life is good right now.
Tomorrow I shall deheathenate Luterun style. I shall be Lector (the readin’ kind, not the cannibal kind). An easy readin’ with no mile long words even.
I woke up very early and couldn’t get back to sleep, and didn’t successfully nap either. I have a headache I can’t shake off.
There were 20+ robins outside my window this morning. First sign of spring, my ass.
The beef stew came out well (a friend came over and shared a bowlful with me, which was nice) and I have the fixings to make bacon-wrapped jalapeño chicken, and Thai spring rolls, and jalapeño corn muffins, so I’ve got food handled for a bit. Stuffing myself on the last of the chocolate chip cookies I baked myself earlier this week at the moment, while listening to Prairie Hhome Companion. Will probably get full and sleepy in front of the TV and conk out early and continue the cycle of waking up too early. Which will come in handy when work rolls back around next week, I suppose.
Cranky day today. I think I’m PMSing, plus not getting anywhere near enough sleep, “thanks” to DH coming to bed way late (about 2.5 hours before my alarm was due to go off) and very solidly waking me when he did. Then most of my co-irkers had the crankies, plus two of them irritating the (bleep) out of me by dawdling along when leads were telling us we needed to speed up to meet production goals. Neither of these wastes of space would get out of first gear. At all.
And for bonus points, the lemon cheesecake bars I made last night were a flop. I followed the instructions, got something that was WAY overcooked, tastes rather unpleasant, and has an icky texture. (sulk)
Howdy y’all. I was absent because somehow I got logged out and could not remember my password. I have a new email address so had to change password. So, after all that PIA BS I also am now a paid member. For two years. I figure I may live two more years.
Rosie’s sig to all. Get well sickies.
I had my first of three Syn Visc shot in in my bum knee on Tuesday and have noticed an improvement. I have another two in the next two weeks. I am hopeful. Research has shone the product is made from rooster dick cartilage. Instead of an 800 mg every 12 hours since August I have only had three since Tuesday.
I pity all y’all up landers with cold freezing weather. I had the windows open until the neighbors started a domestic dispute so now the windows are closed and a/c is on. Tis probably about 80 degrees now. Sorry. Location, location, location.
I have been lurking during my inability to post. Irk is CRAZY BUSY. Did not have time to do what was necessary to get logged back in.
Stay safe invisi friends.
Got Asian BBQ chickn with green tea ginger rice cooking. Hockey in a couple of minutes.
Welcome back, Butters!
shoe, dinner sounds good, especially the Jalapeno cornbread. 
Dang, but shoe and doggio’s suppers sound so much better than my Mrs. Paul’s and a salad (reallllly lazy cooking night).
Barbaric.
