Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffeinated, and purtified so no _YAWN_. ‘Tis 60 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 83 and maybe rain this afternoon. We shall see. Brekkie at the Cookie Shoppe this mornin’. This also means cookies for irk. One cannot go there without leavin’ with cookies, now can one. OK, that’s all I got. I hear rumblin’s from the bedroom which indicate OYKW is almost ready. Cookie Shoppe here we come! Happy Tuesday Y’all! ---

Happy Toosday! It’s a dark 58 degrees outside, I hate that the days are getting shorter. I’m up too early, I may lay back down, or not. I’m going to be willy-nilly today. I have lots to do, just have to decide what order to do them. I still feel like I am falling behind so I need to step it up and get things done. ---

**blurf** Good Morning all - Man, yesterday was crazy. I worked my night shift, then immediately drove 2 hours to help a relative move out of a dangerous relationship. I knew it would be intense because I’ve helped other members of my family in similar situations, but this ex was extra psycho. Thankfully I can be intimidating when necessary, and there wasn’t an incident. 😛 Got her all moved out and squared away, but ended up being awake over 30 hours before getting home. Crashed immediately! Awake now for the new day, drinking some tea and booting up my PS3 for some videyergermes. Today should be fun! I’m helping another family member move, then I’m going to a Craft Party. Then tonight is the Democratic debates - go Bernie! Hope all of you have a wonderful day! ---

\*\*Luci, \*\* well done on helping the relation. Don’t know how big you are (I’m 6’2" and about 270lbs), but some of the most intimidating people I know are 2/3 of my size. It’s just a…presence…they can have. Glad the presence was all that was needed. Back to irk today. Oh joy. Broke fast with Cheerios and skim milk (to make up for the Wendy’s Double Cheeseburger I intend to consume at lunch…) ---

I am WAY past the days of “help me move for pizza and beer”. A bunch of us were always there for each other but I was always put in charge of keeping the coffee brewing and having something hearty on the stove for hungry move-helpers. My chili was the fave. ---

> [@Nava](#): > > You had enough guys for a team? Oh, yeah. We had enough for a whole team with a bunch of alternates. And we took our division, because all the bar teams thought the guys were all weak pansies. We won games by 10, 15, even 20 runs. Made it to the championship. Lost 2-3. The following year, the other teams knew what to expect so we didn’t do as well. eta - the theatre department wasn’t just actors - it was builders and engineers too, because someone had to build the sets and handle the lighting and sound ---

Now I’m awake for the second time today. This time the sun is out. So tie to get up and get moving, but first some breakfast. I think there is a slice of leftover pizza in the kitchen. I tried the cannoli cake last night, it’s not that good. ---

Most of the names of the regualrs you’ll pick up on, but here are a few: Swampbear: swampy Fairy Chat Mom: FCM or Moooooommmm (and variations thereof) along with her husband, FCD. Sahirinee: Sari (as she has mentioned) Carnivourous Plant: flytrap Spiderman: spidey (IIRC) Vunderbob: Boobbbio (and variations thereof) dogbutler: Dogggio (and variations thereof) There are others, FCM probably knows everyone, even those who post infrequently. ---

**luci** , good on you for being the moving go-to. What kind of craft party did you attend? I have a proposal for **Wild Blue Yonder** ’s nick: AirForce. Getting stuff wrapped up. I need to decide within the next week or so whether I want to bowl with the heathens this season. It’s fun, but requires a 20 mile drive in both directions on a weeknight. ---
