Sorry, I missed that.
So let it be written. so let it be done.
@nelliebly, maddening!
Ok, this is great! Thanks @janis_and_cO!
Another idea-may be easier to pull off logistically than a t-shirt for The Landlady Supreme.
use one of the on line photo apps like Shutterfly to create and send an
Honorary Mumper mug (or something similar)? Walgreens does it also.
There is another big on line photo outfit but I can’t pull it out of my
brain tonight.
Whadda all think?
Boo
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 77 Amurrkin out and fair (as opposed to murky?) with a predicted high of 94 and somewhat N.O.S. for the day. Looks to be a good day for some quality cee-mint pond time. We shall also lay in provisions. I need to make a Sam’s run (I can go at geezer time, so yay!) whilst OYKW goes to the Pubic Sto’. Thanks to all the talk about it, a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for breakfast for sup has set in, so pancakes, scrambled aigs, and link snausages for sup this evenin’.
Pearl cool design!
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, alas, alack, woe of woes, bother of bothers, I suppose I must purtify and don appropriate bein’ about the public attire. The difficulties I must endure!
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
Another stoopit wake-at-midnight-and-sleep-no-more night. Dammit.
On the plus side, as of this morning, I’m down 85# from my max - go me! 
Getting to closing will be an interesting bit of fun. SIL has to go to Waldorf and pick up a bench they bought, then he’ll bring it back here. His sister will watch Roxy while we’re at the lawyer’s, so he’ll take their car and deliver her. Then I’ll take the truck and pick up daughter, and we’ll all meet up for closing.
Afterwards, we’ll go over to the house, drop off the bench and whatever else they throw into the truck, and I’ll come home. They won’t move in till Labor Day weekend - daughter plans to start painting on Saturday, and I’m going over to scrub the kitchen cabinets so they can unbox all their kitchen stuff and stow it away. And I’ll take Roxy over so she can start feeling comfortable in her new home.
FCD has a bunch of virtual meetings today so he’ll be holed up in his office till supper. I’m thinking supper will be carry out tonight. And I’ve decided I’m not going to walk today. Too durn tahred.
Onward! Happy Wednesday!!
Morning all!
We have sun! Actual sun! 
I mean, clouds as well, it is England, but still- it’s barely even windy!
I’m getting the washing done and out to dry on the line, then I shall finally be able to pop down and check on the bees. They really need a mite treatment- in fact, they’re overdue, but everywhere’s out of stock of the good stuff, I only have the strips that don’t really work all that well. Probably better’n leaving it though.
On the minor irritation front, I have a blocked ear, and it’s driving me up the wall- I couldn’t sleep last night 'cos all the noises seemed to be coming from weird places and my brain couldn’t make sense of it. I’ll try and make it to the pharmacy later for some ear drops.
Hope everyone has a better day today!
Love the landlady logo @pearl.
midget you are in my prayers.
Doctor told me that my weight is a large part of my knee pain. I should/want to lose 50 pounds. Off to Weight Watchers. Maybe FCM can give me tips?..
{{{{MG}}}} and a couple extra for good measure.
Rain and bladder got me up at 7am, looks like what is left of the gulf storm has settled overhead with some thunder and lots of steady rain for most of the day. Since I stayed up reading until 12:30am, nappage is a definite possibility.
Hope closing goes without a hitch, Mooommm
May the ear get well soon, Nut
Take care all this Hump day. And Emily, {{{{ }}}}
Happy National Toilet Paper Day!!!
Fun Facts about TP: Solaris Paper | National Toilet Paper Day
If you want to splurge and treat your derriere:
This magic toilet paper is called: “Hanebisho” which is made only in Japan, is the most expensive toilet paper in the world , which costs from 13 to 17 per roll . This paper is made of high-quality wood fiber, which is imported from Canada. After, it is treated with water from the purest river “Nedo”.
Swampy, this one’s for you (the TP, not the lady!)

I’m on a roll today … 
Well, I can share what I’ve been doing for almost 2 years. I started by eliminating any food after supper. Then I quit having sweet snacks during the day and made a real effort to have more fruits and veggies. I paid more attention to meat and starch portion sizes and found I was actually satisfied with about half of what I used to take. Most recently, I’ve made an effort to walk briskly 45-70 minutes at least 4 times a week - tho I started at 30-ish minutes.
I also use an app to track my caloric intake each day - making entries after each meal tends to keep me honest. I’ll even enter the occasional splurge - for some reason, it makes me less likely to waste my calories on snacks that aren’t fruit.
Just don’t ask why it took till this late stage of my life for me to make these changes. I knew all these things, but never applied them.
MetalMouse - I had a little scare last night when the mortgage guy texted me - turns out I sent too much money to the lawyer, so I’ll be getting close to $2K refunded to me, which is nice. SIL just got up and he’ll be heading out shortly. We’ll have to make a contingency plan just in case he’s delayed a little. No biggie.
Gee, in honor of Natl TP Day, I feel like I should make TP boutonnieres for everyone. 
Happy Hump Day!
Happy TP Day!
Beautiful morning. Low humidity, the sun is shining, 75 degrees.
The cicadas are noisy though.
The fence guy was here before I got home from the park. They have several posts in the ground already. Also found my old septic tank. I didn’t know I had one although I guess I should have known there would be one considering the age of the house. No reason to dig them up and remove them I guess. I wondered what that noise was, it sounded like they were banging around inside the house.
The dogs are driving me crazy, they want to be outside with the guys. Right now they are outside with them, but I am inside irking and thinking I should have taken the morning off. It’s noisier than I thought it would be.
The realtor is coming tomorrow evening. I should be cleaning house, but I have no motivation to do so. I told the guy it’s a waste of time really, but I guess it doesn’t hurt to see what my house would sell for and how much house I can buy.
Glad you like the design, I think it would look cool on a mug too… I can tweak it/clean it up if we actually use it .
Just trying to wade thru IRK and also need to talk to TPTB about getting Sunday or.part of Sunday off for a memorial, which seems to be happening a lot lately…
((((EmilyG))))
There must be a disturbance in the space-time continuum. I changed Roxy out of her jammies and into shorts and a shirt, and she immediately lay down in bed and went to sleep! 
Which is good, because she’ll be with SIL’s sister while we’re closing, and that would have come during her normal nap time.
I need to throw together some sammiches for me, daughter, and Roxy. I don’t expect SIL to get here before I have to leave, but we shall see. I’ll also have to pack a bag for the kid - I can’t wait for her to show real interest in being potty trained. So far, she doesn’t seem to mind have a sack of poop on her butt… sheesh.
Hah! I love the logo! The problem now is figuring out how to explain gestures all this to her.
That’s one disadvantage to having grown up here: half my life is recorded. All my growing pains. All those embarrassing moments when I would have benefited from having an adult to ask, but the best adults I knew were here. And all the moments when I was working out philosophical questions, who I was, whom I loved, tough growing up stuff, dumb growing up stuff, stuff where I thought I was a lot more grown up than I was…
Long story short, this is not something I share with people irl because of that. Would you want your current adult friends and acquaintances to be two clicks away from finding out what your innermost thoughts and feelings were when you were still too young to legally drive or work? I know I’m not great, But I hope I’ve matured a little since then.
I’m coming down from a call where I was arguing the terms & conditions of a big agreement and now I’ve got a serious inferiority complex. I wish I were a lawyer because they keep deferring to me, which is entertaining since I have a background in archaeology. Granted I haven’t been an archaeologist in years, but it’s weird to me that they keep asking me questions.
Oh, well - my boss hasn’t IM’d me asking me to talk right away so she can give me feedback, which generally means I did my job the way I was supposed to. One of the things I both appreciate and that terrifies me about her is that if she’s going to tell me I screwed up, it’s generally pretty immediate and very clear. And she has zero patience for displays of insecurity, especially in women. So I guess I’ve been hiding it better than I used to, because I’m totally waiting for someone to discover I’m shit at my job.
On the plus side, I’m excited - I went to the optometrist yesterday and I get new glasses next week. YAY!!! Also, I’m halfway done with some changes I’m making around the house. I repainted the bathroom and the vanity and replaced all the fixtures a couple of weeks ago; now I’ve got one kid’s bedroom painted and we’re ready to move overlyboy’s loft into overlygirl’s room. Then we’ll paint overlyboy’s room, get him a bed he’ll actually be able to stretch out on (he hit a growth spurt during quarantine and is taller than I am now) and maybe a desk, then everything will be done. Sorta. Until I have a new kitchen water filter and am ready to rewire our bathroom lighting.
Dots, We told one friend of mine to tell her loved ones that the online community was a biker gang.
We could put a tattoo on the camel.
Seriously, privacy is important … we’re pretty vulnerable around here… You are an amazing person, and you were amazing back then too. We love you, and would like to do something nice for someone that cares for you in meatspace, HUGS
Thanks, all.
Hugs all around.
If you ever figure out how to explain all of this, please explain it to us first!!
I’m glad to see that you have some help and seem to be doing a little better, Dot. We like having you and your kitties around here – the more, the merrier!
Which reminds me – I still have to load my kitty pictures somewhere so I can share them.
I could swear I put this up yesterday evening. It probably wound up in some completely wrong place, but at any rate, this is my friend’s home, or what’s left of it.
