**Spidey** , send her the disk like she asks, but fill it with amputee porn and every virus you can get your hands on. ---

Yesterday there was an open house across the street. It sounded like an interesting subject for time lapse photography so I put my old iPhone into an upstairs window and set it to start 30 minutes before the start of the open house and take a picture every 5 seconds. First, there’s nothing going on there. I figured the realtor would show up early, maybe wash the windows, set up a sign and some balloons, maybe bring in a small table and some refreshments. Nope. About an hour in, the realtor showed up (30 minutes late.) She put a small A-frame sign in the driveway and went inside. I figured I’d get an interesting video of cars coming and going, people walking in and out, maybe some neighbors dropping by to snoop around. Nope. I caught the usual suspects; the neighbor leaves for a while and comes back with a bag of groceries, a few people make their way across the screen walking their dogs, some cars flash by on a single frame. The shadows get longer. Four hours later she locked up, took down the sign, and left. No one came. Kind of sad to watch, really. ---

> [@Spiderman](#): > > _\_ > It cost’s an arm & a leg! 😛 BOOOOOOOOOOO!! Back from various errands. All my blood numbers are good - yay! And I got a flu shot (first one in decades) and a shingles shot. Lunch has been ingested. Shortly, I will toss our assorted unders and socks into the washer. I’ll also empty the dishwasher. Maybe I’ll bake some cookies. Who knows? I’m all unpredictable like that! 😃 ---

Back at irk full-time after 2 weeks of medical leave. I don’t mind being ack but it’s hard to adjust to the irk mentality after spending 2 weeks napping and eating candy. Candy has majikal healing properties. I think I will order my new kitchen appliances after irk. The counters and cabinets are being installed in about 2 weeks and I need new shinies to go with. ---

I finally managed to place Mr. Smells Like The Tail End Of A Four Day Drunk. Go Me! He showed up clean and sober. This is today’s major accomplishment. **MOOOOOOM** a sweet N.O.T. casserole is fine to make ahead. I say go for it. Like **Red** said, tons o’ stuff can be made ahead. Matter of fact since I’m off tomorrow, Ima make ahead and freeze cornbread dressin’ for Turkey Day. Might even do the same with the sweet N.O.T. casserole. I shall make other responses later. For now it’s back to irk! ---

I will probably make ahead myself, since T-Day Eve will be consumed by talking to transplant doctors. I’m going to make sure to ask if they make pate from the old one. ---

Somebody’s asking to get an axe handle upside his sassy-mouthed head! 😛 Unders are folded. Cookies are yum. Supper will be shrimps and crescent rolls and some sort of vegetable matter. Life is good. ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > At least I can spell… 😛 That was a test, and you passed quite well. Is an ax handle measurement by the width or the length? The length would vary, but the width would be standardized to fit an axe blade. ---

Actually, the handle width could vary a bit; the head of the handle would be the standardized part. With a composite handle it would be relatively easy to make it different widths. This was a test, you failed. ☹ I was multitasking; sitting on the bathroom floor, with an old toofbrush cleaning the grout while listening to a conf call - sparkling floor & knowledge! 😃 ---
