Just killing time until I get to go spend my usual busy (and rewarding) Thursday. ---

> [@drewtwo99](#): > > Good morning everyone 🙂 I normally don’t post in the MMP because I have no idea what to say or add to them… but hello. I hope you all have a nice day. **$2.99** , much like _Laverne & Shirley_ was the show that couldn’t be parodied because the parody was indistinguishable from the original, the MMP is a thread that can’t be hijacked. You say whatever the heck you want so long as it isn’t Pit-worthy, and you’re relevant. ---

Happy Thorsday! It is 27 degrees above freezing. I thought spring sprung right on past us but it looks lie she’s back. The kid got his computer working, I think and hope. You’d have thought the house was on fire. \*\*FCM \*\* I hate drama but drama seems to love me, or maybe it hates me and that’s why it follows me around. **Swampy** Maybe I missed my calling and should be writing a soap opera. I’m not too experienced with them, except for a brief time when Luke and Laura were all the rage. If I understand correctly you take a weeks worth of activity and stretch it out to take a year? I could include the experience of my extreme redneck friend on her first cruise. Did you know they have speakers the rooms and will warn you that if you get into one more drunken brawl with your bf they will put you off at the next port? I told one of my other friends, forget the \*Real Housewives \*series, we need to write up a _Real Rednecks_ series. I could include the living arrangements of a certain family member. That raised a lot of eyebrows and another family member and I agreed we did not even want to think about what was going on in that house. I guess that could be my next chapter. **Lucky** I think you are living up to your name by forgetting to take the salmonella out of the freezer. if you had the _Crap_ may have made an appearance. ---

Howdy **drew**! Do come back. Like **BBBobbio** said, the MMP comes pre-hijacked so you just say what you want. Of course the most important aspect of the MMP is my report of the daily minutiae of life at da cave. These people could not live if they did not know the daily weather report for south Jawja or what I had for dindin. 😃 ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > _\_ and you’re relevant. Relevant? Seriously? How long have you been a Mumper, **BBBobbio**?? sheesh 😛 Two loads on the lines, third will go out in about 20 minutes and the first part of laundry will be done. Second part will be later this afternoon when I bring it all in. Anyway, once the sheets are on the line, I’ll don my garden gloves and have a little dirt play. I hope they’re right about rain tomorrow - the yard could use a drink and I really don’t want to be dragging the sprinkler around. ---

Perhaps not as cute as a heterochromic kitten, but coincidentally I did just have my sister send me a few photos of my kitty, Rika (I’m out on the boat, did you know I work on a boat for 4 weeks at a time?), because I missed her. Well, [here](http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee184/drewtwo99/rika1_zpsdfeeb10d.jpeg)they [are](http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee184/drewtwo99/rika2_zpsd5d7dd71.jpeg). ---

Hehe. I only calls it salmonella cause my goofy dad calls it salmonella and it stuck. He has a horrible habit of renaming things to something close but not quite right. Several examples include: Spanakopita = Spina Bifida Toyota Sienna = Sienna Sausage Prostate = Prostrate Neighbor Lady Named Lois = Lois Lane (I have no idea of her real last name actually). Unfortunately it takes some effort for me to call things by their proper names as my dad also has the habit of repeatedly saying the silly name of the item. ---

I found pumpkin pie pop-tarts. Or rather, I found pumpkin pie toaster pastries. And they’re AWFUL! They were not a happy part of my morning. The pollen is not a happy part of my morning either. And, just in time for DH’s radiation burns to be mostly healed, he’s back in for a different type that’s stronger. A known side-effect of this kind is nausea and uh, tummy troubles. Five more days…five more days… ---

**$2.99** - the kitteh is truly squeeable! One part of me wants to get a weensy baby kitteh, but apart from the fact that my spousal unit would hop on his Harley and disappear if I did that, I think 2 cats and a pug are quite enough for our household. If we had more cats, we’d need more cat boxes, and I don’t want more cat boxes, so Taz and Ziva shall have each other and no more. OK, all of today’s laundry is on the line. Time to plant a couple of hostas and figure out where the roses need to go. I just don’t feel like gardening today, so it’ll be a short venture out. ---

I just found my business name listed in the advertising for a local show that I’m doing along with a picture of my stuff. In the description it says Upcycled Silverware but the picture shows a clay carrot that I made. :smack: Um? I must have done a hell of a job to turn a fork into a clay carrot! ---

My one uncle was Merchant Marine and he really had fun with his life. Very awesome. I have my MMC too so technically I’m a Merchant Marine too (though my job is really a computer/desk job). Glad everyone liked the pictures of my cat. Hardest part of being out on the boat is not being able to cuddle with her every day 🙂 ---
