Hi! Didja miss me? I’m in Maryland on the boat, in case you were wondering. Hope that didn’t confuse you, **Ex**! 😃 ---

Glad you made it safe and sound, **FCM**. ---

Gosh, **Ex** , if the linoleum lizard is already three months old, why don’t you get he or she to post the pictures–you know the youngsters are better with computers than the rest of us. I missed you **FCM**. ---

I should have used _him_ or _her_, but I like to mix up grammar every once in a while. Might start a trend, you know. ---

Yay! **FCM** is…um…on a boat somewhere. But she got there safely! And we can talk to her again. Cool. It wasn’t my idea to become the SDMB angel of death **Kallessa** , I tried out for the Rue DeDay slot, but I flunked the oral, and had to take what was available. And I have to job share with **Ex** besides. But I hear there might be a position opening up soon in Shipping and Receiving. Cross your fingers. ---

**Bumb** , I’m in Solomons, MD, and this will be home until we build our house across the river in California, MD. At least, it’s my sweetie’s home, and I’ll be joining him in June. Then we’ll live happily ever after. Unless we throttle each other as we build the house. We argued when we hung wallpaper. Ya think there’ll be a few tense moments as we build an _ENTIRE FREEKIN’ HOUSE?!?!?!?_😃 We shall see, shan’t we? Happy Love Day, all! ---

I’m just painting my kitchen and I’m ready to kill myself! (Damn paint that dries a color not remotely similar to the paint chip, I’ll never choose a wall color at this rate, but I’ll have numerous darn near full quarts of various shades of orange. **Which is not the color I want!** ) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/id-like-to-thank-my-mama-and-elvis-only-not-elvis/228263.md?page=3)
