In Memoriam -- Nov. 4, 1995 -- Yet Another Depressing MMP

yes, but at least she’s not a helpless victim in the arms of a randy vampire–things are looking up!

class was horrid tonight. Now, as if doing it solo wasn’t humiliation enough, the instructor from hell has put us all into groups, based on experience and…personality. Kill me now.

Perhaps you can convince the instructor that CherryRay Sue and company are your group? Why would an instructor think to group you by personality???

Off to sleep, I hope.

GT

If I got grouped for a class with people who had my personality, we’d all kill each other. I hate working in groups, unless it’s with people I know and trust absolutely. I’d rather do all the work myself than run the risk of having incompetent people screw it all up.

I just read a Laurell K. Hamilton book. Talk about trashy vampire sex! The librarian gave me a funny look when she saw my book choices: trashy vampire fiction, and Bertrand Russell’s A History of Western Philosophy. I wanted to start reading some primary texts, but I felt like I needed to brush up on my general knowledge first.

Why, yeah! I’m good at all kinds of positions!

This needs verification. Room 304 is open. *Yanks *LOUNE ** into the room, closes, and locks the door behind us

Good morning. Awake (sort of). Vertical (kind of). Caffeinated? Not…

Off to work. Will be able to read for comprehension later. May even find pronouns…

Hot apple-pie sex! with cinnamon!! Mmmm… Takes Haze up on offer

Good morning Lunch. I had to say that since I’m not usually up this late. :slight_smile:

Ah, you’re here… you’ve kicked **LOUNE **out of room 304 then? Does that mean it’s available… and you are? :wink:

Good grief, you lot have been busy! Rigs, I begin to believe you have an unhealthy obsession with shimmering nipples, but somehow that seems not to be such a bad thing. I vote for vampire sex with apple pie.

I’m having a busy week, went to the eye horsepickle yesterday and spent two hours waiting for my 2mins with the doc. He said my ulcer’s clearing up but apparently it was still a bit crusty so I have to carry on with the drops and go back again next week. He’s concerned that I had another ulcer so soon after the last one and is considering alternative treatments.

Last night we went to see New Model Army which was lots of fun, and another late alcoholic night. But who cares, I’m on holiday in a couple of weeks and getting demob happy already!

I’m only just catching up with the MMP now so hugs, yays, boos and appropriate appendage-crossing for whoever needs it!

**FCD ** is on his way to work, the critters have completed their morning routines, and I’m caffeinating. I don’t think I need to be to the courthouse till 8:30-ish (I’ll check my info packet) so I’m going to surf a while before showering and digging out appropriate clothing. Good way to start a day, I think.

Going on the assumption that no news is good news, we didn’t get any more calls from the dealership, so we’re hoping that the repair won’t exceed $2100. :eek: We might get it back today, but if we don’t, it won’t be till Fri, because **FCD ** has to go to Pennsylvania tomorrow with a group of work folks and he won’t get back till late. Either way, he’s planning to leave the van at the Center, then we’ll drive back this weekend to retrieve it (rather than make the 3-hour round trip after a full day at work) So there’s something to look forward to. :rolleyes:

I’ve got an appointment at 3:30 today for my last freebie oil change. That’s 15,000 miles since mid-Feb. That extrapolates to over 22K miles a year. Ah, the joys of living in the boonies! The shortest errand would be the post office, which is just over half a mile from here. Nearest gasoline/convenience store is 3 miles. Nearest shopping center with groceries/hardware/pizza joint/dollar store is just over 6 miles. Nearest restaurant is about 5 miles. So even the little things we do require a bit of a drive. Still, I love where we live, so I’m willing to pay the price.

And rigs, honey, don’t take this the wrong way but, have your meds gotten out of balance lately? :stuck_out_tongue: Honestly, if I was to pick the Mumper Most Likely To Write Cheezy Vampire Sex Fiction, you would *not * have been in the top 5. But don’t let that stop you… :smiley:

I just had my early-morning freakout. I was hearing a strange, rustling noise that I couldn’t place. Both dogs were in this room with me, so it had to be the cat… or aliens. I assumed cat. I thought she had opened the hutch drawer again and was removing the tablecloth like yesterday (idiot cat) but the drawer was closed. I was walking around the dining room table, about to look under it, when a little head popped up out of the cardboard box that I used to bring home the holiday arrangements my mom made for my craft show. The box has some heavy packing paper in it, hence the rustling. Miss Brandy was making herself right at home, oblivious of the no-cats-on-the-dining-room-table rule. Guess I need to put her in Time-Out.

Yeah, that’ll work…

Happy Hump Day, Mumpers!!

Vampires having sex with hot apple pie? Do vampires even like pie? Do pies like vampires? Apple pie and sex are good though, so maybe they do like each other.

I am awake and shouldn’t be! I can’t sleep. I went to bed at one a.m. and was wide awake at 5:30 a.m. Hopefully I can go back to sleep in a bit. Grrrrr… my internal clock is all kinds of messed up, poor thing!

So, Moooooom, just who would be the top five Mumpers Most Likely To Write Cheezy Vampire Sex Fiction? :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok, off to surf da Dope a bit and hopefully get sleepy.

Sorry, swampy, I don’t do lists like that - they turn into popularity contests and people get hurt feelings then it gets all ugly and accusations are hurled in anger and before you know it, Armageddon! Nope. Ain’t gonna do it. So forget it.

Although, if you’d asked about Cheezy Gay Vampire Sex Fiction a la Mode…
:stuck_out_tongue:

Oh goody, it’s Wednesday. And it’s the first day of the rest of my life. :eek:

Not too much going on here except that it is asforementioned Black Wednesday. As a result we’re only feeding 35 people today. So we’ve decided to spend the day catching up on our baking. Pies, cookies, cakes, etc. So if you just happen to be in Akron for the day, stop by. It’s going to smell real yummy!

Almost forgot to mention… I finally got around to joining Curves yesterday! Today is my first official visit. It’s funny how after quitting exercising for 3 or 4 years how your brain still thinks it can keep up, but how your body doesn’t cooperate so willingly. Wish me luck!

Yeah, that MinDude does write some good stuff.

Kid be careful with that baking. After all, a whole buncha Mumpers are all excitated by hot apple pie sex or sex with hot apple pie or hot apple pie having sex, I forget which.

Ok, I am going to try to sleep for a while. I’m so tahred but still don’t feel real sleepy. Gonna make work real fun. :rolleyes:

Happy Hump Day!

Kid, good on ya for getting back to exercising. I was all gung-ho a few weeks ago when I bought a bicycle. I’ve been slacking. :frowning:

Hmm, apple-pie sex - sorta sounds like that movie, don’t it?

I’m so sleepy this morning, and I’ve already had 3 cups of coffee. I hope I wake up soon. I better get to work - only 2 more days after this one, and I’m off for eleven days in a row.

Is it Friday yet?

Snippets of the soap opera that is my life:

VWife is hobbling around the house sans walking aids, and even drove the 100 feet to the mailbox yesterday. Tomorrow she has to go to 2 doctor’s appointments by herself…

VunderKind called me yesterday, upset that he was asked to drop his microprocessor class because he was failing. He did drop it before calling. Instead of chewing his head off, I told him he done good because he has to learn to pick his fights, and this saves his GPA for the semester. I further told him he needs IMAO some more digital background and some programming experience before trying it again.

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I had microprocessors, it was an upper level class, and he’s just a sophomore.

I have to go to the regional office of BeltwayBanditsInc (my company) today at lunch to sit through a presentation about long-term care insurance, when I know I want it and I’m ready to sign. Can you sat WOFTAM?

Ralph is still driving me nuts, even with VWife coming home. Grrrrr. The dogs are somewhat more subdued after 3 weeks away, which is nice.

I need more caffeine.

Morning Mumpers! I’m off today. Nelly needs to go to the vet to have her ears rechecked, then to the dog park for some fun. Note to self: At any future Mumpfest, avoid all pastries with creme filling. :eek:

rigs, you have a vivid and naughty imagination. Wanna meet me in room 306?

Good for exercise, KidC My doctor wants me to lift weights, since repetitively lifting heavy objects will help with my arthritis. Of course he thinks repetitively lifting heavy objects at work help to contribte to it. :dubious:

SCL, no fighting strap? Sounds like a fake. don’t just complain though, find the seller and give him an Inglewood Jack :smiley:

BRRRRRRR! It’s 15F right now! And I have to go to work in a bit. At least the dog poop I’ll have to pick up will be mostly frozen, though.

He’s right. You need to move up from the 12 oz curls…

Oh! I had some of those about two centuries ago when I was in college. We girls were all “knitting” big open loopy hippy shawls using them and big thick yarn. The shawls weren’t exactly warm but they looked really “groovy.” :smiley:

I stayed up too late watching Nova last night. It was a special two-hour one about the court fight in Dover, PA, to introduce “intelligent design” as an alternative to evolution. (I had written a small paragraph here that I thought better of and deleted.) :slight_smile:

We have a department meeting today at lunch. :frowning: But Macaroni Grill is catering. :slight_smile: I’m hungry.

Okay, rigs, don’t start the next chapter till I get back from the mini-rant.
