I seem to have developed an allergy to my computer. Every time I sit down here, I start to sneeze. This morning it was 10 times in a row… I soon as I walk away, I’m fine.
Ok, it could be something in the back yard. The window is open and I can hear lions roaring in the veldt back there.
I now have a good excuse to make hubby mow! So, I guess it isn’t all bad.
My image is CatDude is stealing soil that was delivered to neighbor.
Further, next year, neighbor will double his order thinking he went thru so much…but CatDude won’t need any, leaving neighbor with a *huge *pile of leftover soil. :smack: Yes, I has an eeeevil, scheming brain!
Weekend was meh, some good & some sucky.
Ended up with LPJ (Local Pizza Joint) screwing up twice on one order. :smack:
Called in to pick up a white pie about 7:30pm, get there & discovered they made a regular one. They offered to let me take that one & then they’d make & deliver a white pie to me (free) to make up for the error. Ok, they’re human, they screwed up, but did the best they could to make their customer whole & not be inconvenienced (we can go home & have a slice while waiting, at home, for what we really wanted), so I shouldn’t be upset, right?
1+ hours later, I call them again:
Me - Are you delivering the white pizza?
First person - I don’t know anything about it.
Second person - I thought you were getting a credit & we weren’t delivering anything.
Me - Ummm, then why did you ask for my address & why did I pay for a pizza?
Second person - <sigh> Ok, we need to make & then deliver one to you.
9:25 - Delivery person - Here’s your free pizza. (in a you should be so happy, we’re so wonderful for giving you a free pizza voice)
Let’s see, the kids are going to bed, I ate something else in the mean time because I was hongry. It went into the fridge, but white pizza doesn’t reheat as well as regular pizza so it’ll probably end up being tossed. (I would have told them don’t bother, but I wanted it on principle!)
Spiderman, what’s a white pizza?
Cheese, olive oil, & garlic, no tomato sauce. Sometimes includes ricotta cheese also. Very, very nummy!
Oh, I don’t think we have that around here.
Here in Quebec we have “all-dressed” pizza, which is mushrooms, pepperoni, green peppers, cheese, and tomato sauce.
I prefer pepperoni pizza myself.
I’ll stick with regular red pizza. 
Also, since DH has the Sicilian Curse (allergic to garlic), having garlic as a topping is a non-starter here.
Speaking of which, our home-made from real raw dough pizza was yummy.
The anticipation is killing me - Spineydoc’s office hasn’t put in with the insurance company to get approval for my back repairs yet. Apparently, they normally wait to the last possible moment. From what I’ve heard, waiting until the scenario is “The patient is prepped, and the surgical team is waiting in the OR” tends to force insurance companies to rather quickly turn around with an approval.
My carpet shampooer is dead. :mad: It’s not that old, so I’m going to have to say that it’s a cheap piece of crap that was made to die. Time to do a bit of online shopping for a replacement. Dammit.
I have never had one that lasted long, yet once you have owned one you can’t live without it.
Kind of like the crack of household appliances.

Especially if you have kids or critters. We’ve been at least adequately pleased with our Hoover Platinum Super-Deluxe Limited Edition Spin Scrub With Ultra Spiffinator machine. OK, so I embellished the name a bit, but it’s got something like a 5 of 6 year warranty, and when we did something dorky while cleaning it and broke the Spiffinator spot-spray nozzle off, the repair was free.
I went to one rating site and they picked a Bissel as the best. Ours is a Bissel, and while the first one we owned was great, this one, not so much… Meanwhile, **FCD **is trying to resuscitate the dead one.
I’ve got a beef soup starting - the beef, onions, 'maters, and spices are simmering in a beef and merlot broth. Eventually, I’ll toss in some veggies and either noodles or N.O.T.s - still deciding on that option.
Just got back from returning my dog to the shelter I adopted him from 5 months ago. Definitely one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life and I wish more than anything else there was some other way. I didn’t have him for very long but I love him so much and I’ll never forget him.
Does anyone have a huge never-ending supply of tissues I could borrow for the rest of the day as I bawl my eyes out? Thanks in advance.
Happy Monday everyone.
{{{$2.99}}} You’re just having a tough stretch here, poor dear… Sometimes life can suck just a little too much. Hang in there.
Oh noes! You get all the hugs. I can’t imagine how difficult that is. I’m so sorry. 
My back seems to have loosened up over the course of the day, but I still don’t think I’m going to be doing any dancing tonight. It’s a couch-and-netflix kind of night. I have a huge pile of things I need to get done before our trip this weekend, but most of it won’t take long, and my attitude right now can best be described as “fuck it.”
Ahh, the old kitchen sink pizza, as in it has everything but the kitchen sink.
Your DH would not have survived growing up in my household. We was 'fraid of vampires, so almost everything gets garlic; & lots of it. My sister had a friend who swore our household put garlic on our Corn Flakes. 
{{{$2.99}}} What kinda doggie?
Geez y’all are a chatty bunch today! Finally got through what I’ve missed.
Howdy from da cave! Soon I shall leave to head over to the church house to get stuff together for men’s night. I’m the prep chef and chief setter upper. Others are clean up and take stuff down crew. Works for me!
{{{$2.99}}} like Drae said, you get all the hugs today. I cannot even imagine how difficult that was for you.
Spoken like the parent of twin five year olds. 
Double the pleasure. Double the poop.
Hope everyone with aches and pains and whatever else feels better soon.
CatDude my yahd consists of grass, some shrubs, one gardenia plant and four sago palms around the pool along with some kind of plant that looks like monkey grass but ain’t monkey grass also around the pool. I mow and trim up shrubs and palms. No purty flahrs and such. Waaaaaaaaaaay too much trouble.
Ok, need to commence gettin’ myself in gear to head over to the church house.
Laterz!

Been working on various music-related things all day. I’m writing a piece of music inspired by marshmallows. Need to get in more ukulele practice.
Stitch was a beagle mix. About 26 lbs I believe. Friendly and energetic. sigh
Thank you for the hugs all.
I like my white pizza with Alfredo sauce. Makes it super unhealthy!

I’m so sorry, drew. I’ve had to hand animals over to the shelter before, but not pets.
I just got back from an extremely late lunch (one coworker out this entire week, another leaving early, a really squirrely network this morning, and two people shocked - shocked, I say! - to learn that they really need to give me two days lead time to a new hire starting if they want a computer ready). I got back to another surprise new hire starting tomorrow, only the request is coming from a VP, so no snarling at him. And somebody’s hiding the computer.
On my walk back to my desk, I saw a hawk hanging out at the window! I think it was a red-tailed hawk. No idea what the gender was. It wasn’t budging an inch, even with a mockingbird and two jays divebombing it. It stayed about five minutes while I and several other people took pics of it. It finally left and glided away.
