haha, thanks swampy
Back at irk after 2 weeks vacay in London. I don’t mind being at work, it’s just that the real world is sooooo drab compared to the fantasy world of being in another country with nothing to do except visit cool places, eat, and have a drink in old pubs.
You came to Lunnon and you didn’t tell us? The very cheek of it! flounce
Damn cheeky Colonials!
BANG YOUR HEAD!
Mortgages will make you mad!

We should get an extra Mumpers check in desk at Heathrow.
My mom and I are hoping to be doing a British Isles cruise next summer, and I’d like to include some touristy time in country before or after - I may be asking youse guys for suggestions and stuff.
Sis has gone, **FCD **and I are about to get back to work. It’s still a gorgeous day. Life is good in southern Merrylande! 
That video has been blocked in my country.

Sorry about that.
Yup. Merrylande is a country apart.
So is Jawja because the video is blocked here as well.
I know I keep mentionin’ this, but here’s a good video about the Food For A Thousand project. Hey, it’s from the local teevee station and surprisingly makes sense. That does not usually happen. Apparently their nonquality control is slippin’.

Forgot to mention - my sis might buy my car from me. Hers is 7 years older than mine and a 2-door and a bit crowded for her and 3 doggies. I’ll cut her a deal and I won’t have to worry if her check is good. And I won’t have to deal with Craigslist. We shall see…
Meanwhile, the step supports are in and we quit just because. Tomorrow, we’ll level the frame, then install the rest of the joists and start the deck boards. I ordered theseto make bench/railings - we’ll have two six-foot benches along the high side of the deck. It’ll give me a place to put my laundry baskets! But not till after the pergola is done and installed.
Love them projects!!
Blocked in New Jersey, as well.
On an unrelated note, did you ever have one of those days when the only thing you can think about is it being over? Nothing has gone wrong, per se, but today is just interminable and I have had enough of this nonsense. I want to go home and read a book and maybe watch some cartoons because I’m a grownup, dammit.
That’s cool** Swampy**
You do good stuff!
Sitting here waiting on the pizza and I found out it’s been here.
I wonder where I was, I never heard the door.
You guys may caffienate away the blurfs. I sit and websurf until they go. This sketch made me smile this morning. It’s in a blog.
Give it time. I went to a wedding last month and apparently talked to my ex-husband without recognizing him. In my defense, it’s been thirty plus years.
Hugs in the meantime.
sari I haven’t done a whole lot with the gardens. There are folks who are out there every day! They are really nice garden beds.
Ima do open face turkey sammiches for dindin with a green sallit. Easy and cause there’s sallit, it’s healthy.
Happy Apesiversary and Happy Apeletday tomorrow, I hope?
Sorry all I have been lurking and not posting but feeling very stabby about the housing sitch. I hope it resolves tonight. I also have band practice, which is a happy place. Yeah.
If you need me, I shall be in the PIT

At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old lady
it sucks living across the street from a day care when the weather is nice and the windows are open,
I’m pretty sure Spaz meant this; could be wrong.
Try this link.
The youtube links through Vevo seem to work, mostly.
Actually saw these guys as a bar band back in my salad days (what the heck does that even mean, anyway…?) Yeah, I was a metal head - whatcha want from an eighties teen anyway?
Afternoon, all.
We have several colleges here that have very good graphic design programs. I’m not above dropping by and asking if some of the students would like to do a mini project for t-shirt design involving the aforementioned MMP subject matter. Typically, these things count as credit and only cost whatever the materials cost, as the students do the work free as part of their studies. I loves pre-interns! Heck, there may even be a few new Mumpers on the horizon.
Anyone care to flesh out some “broad stroke” design ideas? I have some ideas for the “I’m Nice, Dammit!” shirt…
