**(((((Swampy and Tammie’s folks)))))** I am having a bad irk day, the kind of day that involves chocolate quite early on, and may well require vodka later. Fortunately, there is a bootcamp session at the gym in between so I may well have vented my frustrations before I get too comfortable with Madam Smirnoff. I can’t do much with her anyway, I have to be up early tomorrow to visit the Doting Parent as I have missed seeing her for a few weeks, every time I planned to drive over there, it snowed. Now we have better weather and I should be able to see her tomorrow so that’s good, I have some stuff to collect from her for a charity sale and I need to pass on my holiday itinerary - I could share the document with her but that’s a bit too technomological for her to cope with. I have not hit anyone at irk with a chair this week, but there’s still 1.5hrs to go, and I have A LIST!! ---

> [@The\_Vorlon](#): > > **Sahirrnee** , the answer to your problems are Caltrops. I love it! Of course I’d have to remember to sweep them out of the way when I go through the alley. I don’t cruise the alleys, I only drive to my parking pad. I have learned the hard way, do not feed th puppy peas. He got them all over the floor and made a horrible mess and he doesn’t like them enough to clean up behind himself. ---

Close to spiders, if you squint just right and you like spiky metal mean spiders. 😃 Hubby made it home, and he’s stressed out of his mind, poor guy. Looks like we have a “wintry mix” headed straight at us. Weird weather. Again. ---

Metal armored spiders with sticks. An idea worthy of the Spiderman [sup]TM[/sup]comics. Not to be associated with the MMPer with a similar name, Spiderbutt. ---

Home - what a week! My brain was so close to fried this afternoon. Glad to have some relax time ahead. I need to make one more stuffed elephant for my future great-nephew (grand-nephew? Not sure what my niece’s baby will be.) I’ve also decided to clean my desk this weekend. If you could see my desk, you’d know what a daunting task it is… ---

Howdy Y’all! Miss me today? 😃 My desktop died and rather than go through the agony and possible futility to reinstall drivers and all that happy stuff, I decided to go get me a laptop and am now posting on said laptop. YAY! All is right with the world again. I could have posted from my phone but that’s kind of a pain for me so I didn’t. Oh and it is currently 68 Amurrkin out and N.O.S. I’m sure y’all missed the mornin’ south Jawja weather report. ---

Well, nice of you to join us… finally. Did you at least bring treats?? I’m still wavering between a new desktop or a laptop. I just don’t know… Supper was leftover N.O.T. soup. I have a loaf of italian bread, so we’ll have italian french toast for breakfast. 😃 ---

Boy’s practice went well, I only had to raise my voice seven times to get their attention and only three of them got kicked/knocked down/bruised by their teammates (8-9 year olds play at 120% speed all the time and collide often). Games start at 0830 tomorrow but it’s raining right now and depending how much we get, they could be cancelled. We shall see. Got my old passport back with the holes in it (sent it as ID for my new one), so it’ll go in the place for things that are no longer needed but you keep them anyway just in case…) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-moanday-so-here-is-the-new-mmp/810817.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-moanday-so-here-is-the-new-mmp/810817.md?page=9)
