Ugh. My mind is too dirty, AND I spend too much time on this board 🙂 . The proof: The other day I couldn’t remember what BDSM was called, and the first term that came to mind was SDMB. Heh. Merry Christmas Eve, all! [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzZ_YlYNINI) ---

> [@gotpasswords](#): > > It’s Christmas Eve. Why am I at work? Pshaw - this is a normal week for me: working straight through which is just fine by me. No SO or family to waste the day away with anyway. At least I can enjoy Chinese Christmas tomorrow. In the news industry there is an unofficial tradition (for those stations not too stingy to do it) to purchase a Thanksgiving spread on Thanksgiving and a Chinese spread on Christmas. The place that has provided for our station each year is pretty good. I look forward to the meal, and the good cheer of my coworkers. Usually we have few shows to cover, and little news happens, so (knock on wood) it’s easy work. So to everyone Merry Christmas! All is good. ---

\*\*2gig \*\* Chinese sounds good to me. I don’t know what we’re having. Normally we have brunch type foods because our celebration is early so everyone can go to the next celebration and then the next celebration. I’ll be working as usual. I’ve got to get started on laundry instead of sitting here playing all day. I wonder if the washer is available? ---

So Bro called to say he was coming, and then he took longer than he normally would have after such a call, and it turns out that he’d just gotten a call that his best friend’s father is in the hospital for 3-4 days although “oh, it’s not serious” (not serious and they’ve hospitalized him on Christmas Eve? It wern’t nuthin’ the eye woond an’ he had it in 'is hand!), so the meal was kind of rushed, and then I had a bathtub of pots to wash (some of them only get used once a year and are too large for either the machine or the sink). Then my aunt (Dad’s sis, so the one from the somewhat rational side of the family) called, she’s having hip surgery again on January 21st. Too many hospitals everywhere… **Nooner** , a C1. Yeah, yeah. I did say it was tiny! ---

Howdy Y’all from Mom’s ‘puter in Ye Olde Hometowne. The big news is a shih tzu (sp?) has taken up residence. Mom said he was at the door to her flower room Sattidy mornin’. She said at first she thought it was a cat cause it was not quite daylight yet so she opened the door and in he came. Keeeyoooote little booger!

Interesting, a few months ago one turned up at my friend’s door. She tried to find his home, for real she did and now she has a new dog. So tell your mom it looks like she just got a Christmas gift. He looks a lot like the one who chose my friend, but I doubt if her little Oliver trotted that far. ---

I met someone who had a nice little dog. I asked her what kind of dog it was. She said he was a “shit-poo” - a shih tzu/poodle mix. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/joy-to-the-world-theres-a-new-mmp/644999.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/joy-to-the-world-theres-a-new-mmp/644999.md?page=3)
