How to throw a party! - A 12-step MMP

Blurf. One cup of wakeup consumed; I need more. Went to the Y this morning, and I’m sore.

Off to forage for brekkie.

ETA: First on the page, and I wasn’t even trying! :cool:

Hi.

So it wasn’t just me, this place was down for a while?

Are you?

It was you. And everyone else…

I hate blackouts.

Well, FINALLY!! I haven’t been able to get to the board all morning…It’s been down or something. URGH. Off to get caught up now.

Stupid Dope was down for most of the morning.

Hate is such a harsh word…

Jury duty wrapped early today. So early that I have to wait before going to the dump - they don’t open till 11. So I’ll take the trash and recycling, then go get a haircut, then have lunch. Good plans, ya think? I’m also hoping I can get **FCD ** to pick up Scruffy, since he passes the vet on his way home.

Regarding the jury thing, I volunteered to be on the jail inspection committee. For some reason, most folks don’t want to go, and I think it’ll be interesting. Plus I’m off work anyway, so what’s the big deal? We walk thru the jail, then do a report. So there will be 7 of us out of the jury of 24. Buncha slackers.

I think I score some points for being the first to post !

Or does that make me desperate?

:frowning:

Ignore my open links. :smiley:

Howdy - afternoon duty done. HRH is fed and asleep. I still haven’t done any work - red wine and Episode 3 of Eureka is now leading the pack for likely choice of activity this evening! Contemplating “working” from home tomorrow,as I really can’t be fagged going into the office and all that sh*te!

Finally! I was doing some serious jonesin’… There’s nuthin’ like the Dope out there!

I can’t remember when I posted last, so:

Rebo news:

Mr Rebo has gotten a new job and given notice at his current job. His last day will be next Wednesday. Yay! He’ll be driving a cement truck for about 6 months, then into a gravel unloader thingie (same as an 18 wheeler.) The plant is only 5 miles away with two stoplights! He’ll be home in 10-15 minutes. Sweet!

We had a crew come in to do a sidewalk and front entry - stamped concrete. They finish today! What they have already done looked AWESOME! Now I won’t have to step on the (sometimes soggy) grass to get to my car or the mailbox. :smiley: We’re gonna have some curb appeal, baby! Eventually we’ll get to the rest of the house…

OK - that’s all I got. Off to get caught up…

All caught up now. I was worried there for a bit – what would I have done with my day if I couldn’t read the dope?? :confused: Oh the horror … But it’s ok now. :cool:

Beebs I’m glad you didn’t make any bad thread decisions in the middle of the night. :slight_smile: Dare I ask what you did to have your membership suspeneded? Congrats on being the first one allowed back into the MMP–I think it probably makes you bored, not desperate. Unless your boredum has progressed into desperation. :eek:

Swampy Congrats on quitting smoking. :slight_smile:

Noonie are you out there?

Frankly, I acted like an idiot. Don’t act like an idiot and you don’t get suspended.

I’m all caught up now - congrats to Swampy on quitting! I backslide every so often, too (one just last Friday) but I think I’ve only had about 15 cigarettes in 5 years…

Close enough for gummint work, I say!

[sarcasm]
:eek: Beebs you acted like an idiot?? I can’t imagine that!
[/sarcasm]

reaction to the board going down again:
nooooooooooooooooooooooo deep breath deep breath it’ll come back, it’ll come back, deep breath deep breath, it’ll come back.

off to a lunch meeting now, maybe the board will still be here when i return

As requested by rose: Morgan doing her best Muppet impression

Actually, it’s hard to capture in photos, since you don’t get the full effect of her Muppetude unless she’s in motion. You’ll just have to trust me on it.

Cute picture, Muppet!
Well, I just ran through Curves double time because I asked one of my employees to come back to the shop after her delivery since I was waiting for a delivery from Coca-Cola. Now I’m back and working on stuff for tomorrow and Coke isn’t here yet. Last time they came at about 1:30 so it shouldn’t be too far off.

And, just for fun, I’ve got some weird visual thing going on where I keep seeing something above my bangs that isn’t there. Kind of like I still have my baseball cap on, but I don’t. Very strange. Ok, back to being productive…

I can testify that **doggio ** is not a poopyhead. :stuck_out_tongue:

Huh? :confused: You can’t spring stuff like that on us–we’re old and easily confused.

RE the PE moron–something to do with the wrestling mats, since they do step aerobics in the wrestling gym (don’t ask me–when I went to that same school, the wrestlers hung out and worked out above the balcony over the pool–nice and hot so that they could [del] get electrolyte imbalances and dehydrated all that much quicker[/del] “make practice count.” Blech-wrestling.
I still think it’s stupid and BAD PE–why not have them just run in their barefeet while she’s at it? Stoopit gym teacher.

Watched a whole lot of old family videos tonight. I have the cutest kids in the whole world. Oh, I know what you’re going to say: you do too, but no, you are mistaken. The titles are taken and they are held by the Rigby kids. We won’t forget the little people… <pats head all 'round>
Still can’t watch bad TV up here (dratted homework) and it’s too cold downstairs. Perhaps I should go to bed early. Hmm…
And that is where I was last night, before the board outage. Aren’t you all glad I saved it for you?

Off to have my multicultural sensitivity awareness raised. I wonder if I could read my book in class?
