> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > **Midget,** brilliant!! 🆒 🆒🆒 What was their reaction once they caught on? A couple of people realized what the song was when they first got their sheet music, but kept the secret. The first verse in my arrangement begins with a tuba solo, and the tuba player was so surprised and amused that he was laughing and couldn’t finish the solo, so I jumped in with a homemade kazoo. 😛 People were generally amused at my prank. ---

\*\*Midget \*\*- I had no idea you were such a musical genius!!! 😃 My afternoon went lots better than I expected. Since I had an expired CAC, it only took about 5 minutes to get a new one, rather than the 30-ish minutes it takes for first-timers. Then I went to WalMart and got most of the stuff on my list, plus a few extras. I skipped the cucumbers - they looked nasty. Supper is sketties. The house is open and fresh air abounds. Except for the stoopit computer crashes, it’s been a good day. Yay! ---

We have supped and it was good. I’ve had da cave windows open and ceilin’ fans goin’ this afternoon. Feels good up in here! **Midget** 🆒 I am impressed! **CupCakes** when you first retire, it is imperative that you get up early at least some mornin’s, get a cup of coffee, go outside, sit down, and point and laugh at everyone goin’ to irk. Fun! ---

Instead of sketties, we had a pasta bake - which means instead of long pastas, we had bow tie pastas baked with sauce and topped with provolone. Muy yummy! Chillage ensues. ---

Except for irk and mailing a package(shotglass exchange) I haven’t done much. Right now water is boiling and macaroni is cooking. ---

> [@Bumbazine](#): > > Sorry you’re gonna move out of Orygun **Sunny**. I know it’s not like we ever see each other IRL but I liked knowing there was someone else from my part of the country in the MMP. All these other peeps live \* way over there\*. In the\* ‘before time’.\* I know what you mean. 😃 I have smiled to myself when I drive by on my way up I5. **Bumba** lives that-a-way, I think. Oh well, I suspect we’ll be back at least part time at some point. > [@swampbear](#): > > **CupCakes** when you first retire, it is imperative that you get up early at least some mornin’s, get a cup of coffee, go outside, sit down, and point and laugh at everyone goin’ to irk.

My daughter just sent me a picture of my granddaughter’s poop face. Apparently it’s a surprising evolution for her. I don’t think I’ll be using it as my wallpaper any time soon… 😃 ---

It’s the face she makes when she poops. All part of the photo album that will be pulled out one day to embarrass her in front of future boyfriends. 😃 ---

**emily** , you would have fit right in band camp when I was in high school. 😃 **bumba** , I find that certain DVR recordings do that too. It also happens for certain video content that I stream from Roku. I found the shot glass for the exchange today. Now all’s left is to package it up and get it to the post office. I also got my shot glass package today. Thanks **Mooooom**! The package also included a nice china teacup, a tea light and a St. Pat’s hat. Methinks a shot of Jamieson’s is in order. 😃 ---

Friday I am having a cortisone shot for my trigger finger. I could not watch a YouTube video of it… It is warm in no. Illinois. 77F. Windows open and ceiling fan on. Any warmer and the a/c goes into chill mode. I really don’t care for summer. I know, I’m weird. ---

Wow, **Red** , that was fast! USPS said it would be 7-10 days. And it’s not a tea light - it’s a penguin light!! 😃 ---

**Mooooom** , once I pulled it out for closer inspection, I found that it would be a cute Xmas ornament. 🙂 ---

You know your call center job sucks when fast food looks like a much more rewarding path to take. See [my post](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20933146&postcount=1655) in Workplace Rants for more. ---

Got home and went pretty much straight to irk. Will catch up tomorrow while unpacking. Short version – had fun and found several more meat cleavers for my collection. Also bout another gun. None of which will surprise regular Mumpers. ---

Here’s something I don’t understand - why would a convenience store that doesn’t have a sit-down eating area offer free WiFi?? Maybe I’m missing something, but aren’t most convenience store transactions pretty much in-pay-go? Even when the lines are long, you’re rarely there more than 5 minutes… I don’t get it. Looking for 70s today, and 80s thru the rest of the week. Jumped right from winter to summer… stoopit weather. Happy Tuesday anyway! 😃 ---
