I Know What Yer Pet is Thinkin'

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
201

AL-righty then…I guess my role will be that I am sweet, kind, compassionate, amiable AND charming. Hey, you didn’t say I couldn’t be ALL of those, so now now I’m taking them. Sorry to have stepped into your territory there, FCM. I :wink:

Only three hours and 45 minutes to go (I hope). I’m beginning to think that I may not get out of here on time as I have had some taskers, deliverables, and requirements dumped upon me today and three MUST be completed before I leave today. Two of those requirements/deliverables promise to be extremely time-consuming and we’re not meeting until later today about them.

Maybe tonight I will be “smashed” Taters. Ah, who am I trying to kid; I probably won’t have any adult beverages tonight. I have a lot of good wine in the house, but the hubby doesn’t drink it, so I don’t want to drink a bottle on my own. I’d get too full.

202

I’m having a quiet evening in. I’ll probably swing by Subway and grab a sandwich for dinner. Then I’ll pop in a DVD. I’m not sure what yet. I have some anime at home, but if my Angels in America Disc 2 shows up from Netflix, that gets priority. (If’n you care, the anime would probably be some choice between Cowboy Bebop, Grave of the Fireflies and supposedly terrible anime porn.)

203

Punny you should say that. The Elf says that at his wake he wants a keg of Guinness placed next to the coffin with the tap in his hand, so everyone can have a drink on him.

204

Naw. It’d never work out 'cause then I’d have to specify who I was talking about. There’s just too much competition for that title on the SDMB.

Dontcha just love all the side conversations going on in this thread?

205

Twenty minutes to go until this work day is over. I’m still debating on whether to go straight home to sleep or to have a coupla cold ones first.

And my ex-wife just called. She needs to meet with me tomorrow. When I agreed, she asked why I was being so nice?

A damn good question in retrospect. It can never be anything good when she “needs” to talk to me (we’ve got no kids, so that excuse it right out.)

Have a good weekend, y’all. Can’t wait for Rue’s post that is so good he wrote it four days early.

206

Indian food and then the Albany Symphony Orchestra tonight… what was I thinking?? I love the symphony, but food + classical music + a long week = sleep.

207

Not always. Sometimes it’s beavertails or Nanaimo bars.

208

She was just christening the rug FCM. Like with champagne and a ship only for dogs it’s barf and rugs. You should be honored.

**Lissla ** could wear floss ‘n’ pasties, just under the layers. Over the layers is not a good look.

Ooooh. **Rue ** lives in one o’them fancy type states that values edja-macayshun. I refuse to be-sadden the MMP with any more of my whining. Only an hour till the weekend, wahoot!

When VunderWife’s (bio)dad died, he was living down in the Louisiana Bayou near Baton Rouge. His friends were Cajuns and other professional drunks from back in the swamp.

He was not the religious sort, so we had him cremated, and had all of his crew over for a party of sorts where we would spread his ashes on the water. When we cleaned out his trailer (he was living in an RV), we found a case and a half of beer. At party time, we iced it in a big wash tub, and put a sign over it: “Have one last one on Al”

Best funeral I ever went to. Lots of stories I can tell from that month in the swamps…

When I go, I want my family and friends to have a pony kegger in my honor.

Trivia Question (I don’t know the answer):

When was the last time the MMP went less than five pages?

Other last minuet stuff:

So, those of you keeping fingers crossed for me - I got a call and a good email on my potential road to financial freedom today. Don’t uncross just yet, this is just the start, but I have a couple of very good nibbles on the line. If I had the “right profile” I might have been on my way to Alberta next week. But she is anyway following up with me with two more leads next Tuesday. The other is an initial inquiry from a sub-contractor for a large computer company based in upstate NY. You’ve heard of them, but not the subcontractor. I’ll jump through their hoops and see where that goes.

Finally, I had mee goreng for lunch today. I’m not sure what that means, but it was yummy. And they gave me this when I was done:

**
Your principles mean more to you than
any money or success.
Lucky numbers 4, 10, 12, 13, 20, 36
**

Ha, it is to laugh!

211

See, I thought that was me. Or is it just the Monday Morning Whore? (kidding!) Or maybe, considering how irregularly I post, it should be the “Quickest Poster to go From ‘Who’s That?’ to ‘Doesn’t She Ever Shut Up?!’” Post.

Welcome, of course, to our newest member, HillKat. Come in, have a seat, relax. We don’t bite. Well, not hard. :wink:

Hey, Sean, what’s your favorite Liz album? I’m particulary fond of Whitechocolatespaceegg. I use “It’s nice to be liked, but it’s better by far to get paid” as a sig on a different board.

Scout, w00t! Anime porn! :smiley: Not that I’ve seen any. Really. No, really. Stop looking at me like that. All right, only becuase of lack of opportunity, not because of any delicacy of my sensibilities.

If you see Grave of the Fireflies, let me know what you think. I hear it’s really good, but I also hear it’s really sad, and I’m still wading through the emotional morass that is NGE; I’m not sure how much more I can handle.

I saw Angels in America on Broadway. I didn’t see the movies, but I was curious to see how it worked off stage. If I can get Parts I and II from Netflix, maybe I’ll check it out.

Change in cable companies means no internet access at home right now (not that I ever posted on the weekends, but now I couldn’t if I wanted to). Local library has blocked all message boards, so no access there. For the first time in years, I have Monday off (w00t!!), so I won’t be able to check in until Tuesday, and I don’t know if I’ll have time to post. Just want you to know that I’ll be lurking, though, so you won’t be able to say mean things about me behind my back; you’ll have to say them to my face as usual. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok, I’m late picking up my sister, so I’m out. Love and kisses all around, and I’ll see you all Tues. Have a great weekend!

212

Well, I was going to <snerk> and add “in bed”, but that just gets sad. Your principals mean more than success in bed? That’s for people who can’t get laid. You need to trade that fortune in, Shibb.

Ok, now I’m *really * gone. Really.

213

After my last post, my computer gave a hiccough and shut off. It won’t turn on. I think it may be completely, instead of mostly, dead. If it is, then I’ll be offline for a long time- maybe a month or two. I’m posting from Driving Husband’s place. Kisses all round, just in case.

I’m wearing a low-cut tank top, tight sweater, gauzy short skirt, and knee-high purple and black striped socks. And a necklace and my nice comfy Docs. Sorry for not going the thong route. Last time I was there, therre was a chick in vinyl hot pants. That just seems like an all-round bad idea. I can’t image anything more uncomfortable. Okay, maybe the guy in the skin-tight vinyl catsuit.

Bye.

214

Darlin’, I love you like the wicked stepsister I never had, but I can’t decide if that’s sexy or just not. Well, I’m sure it works for you.

I just made the most incredible steak dinner tonight, with nice moist baked potatoes, a mushroom and onion sauce and a yummy '99 Catena Malbec. There was salad, too, but I was so busy cooking and eating that I had to put that aside for dessert. Now I must go for another vert de rouge (horribly misspelled, I’m certain).

215

January 17th:Dental Hygiene only went four.

January 3rd: Resolutely Striding into the New Year went four.

The week before that was a three pager. The week before that was four. Then it was a string of three page after three page threads. You’d have to go all the way back to the middle of October to get back up to four. And the week before that was only two pages! Total!

How do I know this? I clicked on my name and then hit “Find all threads started by Rue DeDay”. It’s an education.

216

Well, I think I look cute. I’m going to be wearing my bellydancing hip scarf when we get to the club. I’m going for comfort and warmth tonight- and I almost always wear stripey socks. We’re just waiting for Quasi-Daughter to call, and I’m bored.

Does it help if I say I’m wearing a tight low-cut shirt and a short skirt? And thigh-highs? Good.

217

I dunno if it helps you, but it certainly helps me.

218

Angels in America (disc 2 arrived yesterday) was wonderful and moving. The angel parts were kind of weird, and I could have done without them. But I cried.

I then watched Overfiend, which was the anime porn. I’d been led to believe it was “grotesque” - and in my mind I imagined the worst. It wasn’t as bad as I thought, but it was certainly B grade material.

And now I’m listening to some 1990’s Depeche Mode - damn, I’d forgotten how great this stuff is.

219

Hey y’all, I’m back home from bearing pall and all that. Thanks to everybody who expressed condolences. You MMPers is some good folk is all I got to say!

Also, welcome HillKat! I’m the cute one that tends, as Rue says to tell just everything. I think it’s his funny way of sayin’ I’m real TMIy at times.

I am so tired! I stayed at my sister’s house cause an uncle was staying at mom’s place. Mom and sis live next to each other, so no biggie. However, my sis, BIL and me sat up late Thursday and Friday nights working our way through the better part of three cases of Miller Lite. Fortunately I am such a sot that that had no effect on my pall bearing abilities Friday. It was fun. Course I had to be up early both mornings because I had to go have breakfast with mom and that means 7 AM. A hot mom cooked breakfast and several cups of her coffee/veneer stripper (the woman makes some strong coffee!) also helps overcome the effects of much beer. But I am tired. ACBG is here and grilling burgers. Then we’re gonna snuggle down and watch tv and stuff.

Good night all! See ya Monday!
