> [@swampbear](#): > > **Pie[sup]2[/sup]** that’s good to know. You’re probably not familiar with the 90’s Amurrkin sitcom _Friends_. Joey, one of the characters, used “how _you_ doin’”, (emphasis on “you”) as a pickup line and/or to flirt. Thus, “how _you_ doin’” became a meme for flirtin’. So, I flirted. 😃 It may surprise you to know that _Friends_ did make it across the Pond, and I was an avid viewer 😛 so I knew _exactly_ what you were up to… I just chose not to rise to the bait… 😉 ---

Howdy all. The chilluns managed the share their durned virus with me. Not so cute now. And now that I’m not up to watching them, they’re feeling better. Sunny-son carved his name in the leather chair in the living room. Grrrrr. Welcome Pie. I will learn the coding on the squared later. 🙂 Sari and Bobbio glad you’re recovering. ---

I like Toronto. Friends keep buying me ice cream. 😃 I remember one year at a camp, we had a talent show. One group of kids wrote a skit about Mary’s little lamb following her to school and ending up as lamb chops in the cafeteria. ---

Bah. I did go down the allotment, and it looks like my plum tree’s going to be ready to harvest while I’m away. It’s looking like a good crop this year too, hope there’s some left for me when I get back! Maybe I shall open a bottle of the plum wine to make up for it. One bottle needs using soon, it’s pushing the cork back out. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > **doggio** I got culture. I’m also couth, suave, kempt, and sheveled. So There! 😛 Yogurt has culture, too. 😃 Lord, what a busy day! The landlord is coming over on Saturday to check our furnace because a family died of carbon monoxide poisoning the other day and he wants to replace ours. We’re getting ready for The Visit. I got two transcripts finished, and I’ve got two more to go. I’ve gotten one and sent back two availability surveys for two more jobs and scheduled an interview for yet another one. I’s tahrd and I’ve still got to et dindin (we’re going out) and go to my meeting. News on the new kitteh front: We’re taking the wee beastie home on Monday, which is perfect because we don’t have to explain a second wee beastie to the landlord this weekend! I can’t wait! ---

Bear is tahrd. OYKW has gone to his place to crash. He had a loooooooooong day that started early, poor thing. Now Ima gone relax and surf teh intartoobz right after I go spray some shark repellent around the cee-mint pond. ---
