Canes lose, I have to work on my day off, just another day of blurfs.
No sign of The Boy. Guess I’m gonna go crawl into bed all by my lonesome (and by “lonesome”, I mean with two furry critters curled up against me to steal my body warmth).
Mindy, I’m really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but H1N1 had the best congestion EVER. Word.
Also, I’ve officially found the most hilarious (but totally NSFW) site ever. Ladies and gents, I present you with Regretsy, a compendium of the strangest, ugliest, tackiest and just plain OMGWTF that Etsy has to offer. You’re welcome. 
I can guarantee that some of my users are squirrels with mainframe IDs. But, that’s an insult to squirrels.
Muppet, that website ought’a be illegal, at least when I have work to do.
Then again, the stuff shown should just be beyond illegal. I’m not sure whether I should get brain bleach or just pick my jaw from the floor and make sure it’s clean before replacing it.
Do your feet smell, too? You’re upside down.
Blurf.
Went to the pub last night, beers on offer were Fat Cat Brewery’s “Wild Cat” and Holden’s “Dragon’s Blood”. Both very nice, went down far too well! I had a late night and an early morning so I’m kind of tired today. No plans for tonight except planning the weekend’s menus as 'im indoors is going away and I will have free rein in the kitchen. Woot!
Students are giving me grief today, most of them should be hit over the head repeatedly with a frozen trout and the rest need to learn how to read. Bah.
I like this. I can see it in my head, but I picture more of a Clint Eastwood thing: “ya feelin’ lucky, rhinovirus?”
(actually there was a Magic School Bus episode that did this exact thing with Ralphie’s strep throat. Not quite road flares et al, but still kinda cool).
Mornin’.
It’s raining a lot. Took me an extra twenty minutes to get to work because I kept hydroplaning! :eek: But that means a very nice cool front will be here tonight. Yay! Lows in the 50’s, highs in the mid 70’s. It’s about frickin’ time it acted like fall around here.
Mr Rebo rearranged the furniture in the living room last night. It looks weird, but I guess I’ll get used to it. There’s a funny part, though. Whenever Mr Rebo’s recliner (next to mine) was empty, it became Lucy’s chair. Now his recliner is moved, and the couch is nearest to me. Lucy got on the couch! I think she just wants to be near me. Or have a better view of the TV. 
Looking forward to Mr Rebo’s chili tonight. He makes a mean chili.
Still no word about working this weekend. No news is good news in this case! 
Hugs, smooches, frozen trout - pass 'em out as needed…
I have no energy today. As a matter of fact, I came home from TVLand, got my baked potatoes in the oven and went back to bed for an hour. Now I’m sitting posting here instead of continuing to work on the lunch. Go figure.
Ugh. What a morning.
Usually we leave the house at 7:40. Today I woke up at 7:30. What a morning.
My head won’t clear. Class in a few minutes. Lecturing should help- gets my adrenaline going.
Well … feelin’ better this morning. Not because the cold is abating – well, I can’t tell really because I’m stuffed full of NyQuil and it’s dried me right up. That plus getting to bed at a reasonable hour and having no trouble sleeping (the lung sensitivity thing seems to have abated to the point where it’s no longer irritating enough to keep me awake), plus a nice coffee and I almost feel human again.
Windows 7 is out today. I haven’t decided if I’m going to pick it up today and do the whole system overhaul this weekend or wait until next. With the way I’ve been feeling I might just put it off 'til there’s no longer any danger of sneezing into sensitive electronics. Last thing I want is to boot up a freshly upgraded computer with and find out I gave it a virus. (Har…)
Mahna[sup]2[/sup] - Responding to a Kanye meme with a Kanye meme? Whoa… that’s meta. “Yo, dawg! I herd you like Kanye West memes, I’m happy for you and I’mma let you finish, but I put a Kanye West meme in yo’ Kanye West meme so you can have the best meme of all time while you have the best meme of all time!”
I think I just divded by zero.
VBob - RDRR. C’mere and let me sneeze on you.
Rigs - “I know what you’re thinking. Did he sneeze six times, or only five? Well, to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But Rhinovirus, this is doxylamine succinate, the most powerful antihistamine in the world, and could blow your capsid clean off. You have to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel infectious?’ Well do ya … punk?”
If you can make me sick by the end of the day so I don’t have to go to SQHell class tomorrow, it’s a deal.
Back to the real world. One of the founders of the rescue squad died yesterday, so we’re waiting to hear what the arrangements will be for him. I may be funeralizing tomorrow or Saturday, so I’m warming up the Death Chikkies recipe…
Belated blurfs.
How do you cook those English Peas, swampy? I have noticed them occasionally at my market and tried cooking them as I would regular fresh peas but they seem somewhat chewy.
I usually do my smashed N.O.T.s and peas with roast chicken or turkey breast. I am not a big salmon fan and Mr. Anachi is hard to get to eat fish at all. I can usually cajole him to eat a mild ocean fish like cod or haddock.
bobbio, I got the Billy Barty thing and LOL’d. 
Oh, the joy of it! Department head, team leader and team members are all out of the office for the rest of the week (okay, two days)! Is it noticeable that I am not overly fond of them?
Tupug
Nava, you want a royal turtle paw pin with extra dangly brass accents. You KNOW you do. 
Mindy, my brain hurts. All we need to do is stuff a “#RIPKanyeWest” in there, and it’ll be a giant postmodern ironic wankfest. Or somethin’ like that.
Major case on the Don Juannas today. Blargh.
You don’t have to lecture me! I started working. Honest!
Now I have a headache. :dubious:
Blurf.
Up, caffeinated, time to do a little cleaning.
Please tell me this belief set is an aberration! Please, please , please!!!1one!! Otherwise, please call his Mommy to come and take him home!
swampus, when I was growing up, ketchup was the only condiment I was allowed to use to drown out the Og-awful taste of the durn salmon patties - blech! Since then, it is probably the only recipe I haven’t asked my mother for. Well, that and the boiled cabbage thing! Double blech!!!
Muppet, I though the vampire reusable sanitary napkin was delightful!
No salmon patties here. Other than canned tuna, I won’t eat fish that doesn’t come in a nice single fillet. Fish from a can is gross. No matter what you add in to it. Except tuna. That’s ok. But only on sandwiches. Not heated up into a casserole or patty of any sort.
Yes, I’m a picky eater. But I cook for myself so I’m allowed to be. Nyah.
Sadly, not an aberration dotty. Far too common. At least he didn’t mention death panels or espouse the view that Obama’s not American.
Big local news: The paper mill in Franklin, VA, is closing for good, laying off 1100 people. A sizable chunk of them live in Cottonfield County, and are friends of mine.
:mad:
Thank you Barak for fixing the economy. :mad::mad::mad:
Afternoon, all. Thank Og tomorrow is FIRDAY; I don’t think I could take another work day this week. LOL
BBBBobbio, I hadn’t heard about the Paper Mill closing down; it sure will affect some of my relatives. I don’t think that is on President Obama, however. JMHO
We were just beginning an all-hands meeting this morning when the alarm bells sounded - time for the semi-annual fire drill! Argh, I thought, I didn’t know the exit route from there! all turned out okay, though, and the meeting resumed where it left off about 15 minutes later.
My boss just went home sick … several folks in the office have some nasty bug.
