MOOOOOOM I don’t know about online but one can get one’s tag renewed by mail if one gets it in early enough which, needless to say, he didn’t. Anywho, from the time I left the orifice to the time I got back it was all of forty five minutes. It would have been less time but I stopped for a soft drink and a bag o’ chips to go with my ham ‘n cheese sammich which I am currently scarfin’ down. Nobody in line at the tag office even!
Poor** Flytrap**
Midget I, like Swampy, avoid any stores with crafts in the name. I know I’ll spend way too much money and then end up giving the stuff to my niece’s step daughters because I won’t have to time to fool with it
anyway. The step daughters appreciate it though, and they always remember to say ‘thank you’.
Swampy I’m on the SO’s account, or he’s on mine depending on how you look at it because he’s always needing me to bail him out of some mess or another. He’s a trucker and he’s always forgetting to send a check for something or another, or he he goes out and gets stuck somewhere and doesn’t have enough money for food. This way I can write his checks for him or transfer some money from my account to his if he’s out longer than he thought he’d be.
He’s a fly by the seat of your pants kind of guy, I’m the one who always has at least one back up plan and a few grand in emergency cash stashed away.
Gee ** Swampy** since you’re so quick with the MVA maybe you can take my son in to get his learner’s? I’d pay you!
Of course I have to go anyway because I have to sign all the crap, unless I wait until he’s 18.
I hate the MVA.
I used to work there so I hate it even more.
I went home early from irk. The Facilities guys set the HVAC for minimal heat, and it was 62 Amurrkin in the hallway when I left.
Dang **BBBobbio and here I sit in my own personal sauna. I just stepped outside to cool down a little bit.
Sari down heah one goes to the county tax office to renew tags, register vehicles and such. One goes to the infamous Dept. of Driver Services for driver’s licenses and renewals. Fun times all of it.
Back from lunch and Food Lion. I decided to give Bad Chinese a try on the chance that they got better. They haven’t. ick. How is it that during the lunch rush (such as it was) all of the food was tepid or cold? I could see if I popped in around 3, but it was just after noon!! Never again, and I mean it this time!
It’s raining like crazy out there, and windy, and generally very unpleasant. But I’ve got the pellet stove going, and after a little more choring, I’m going to assume the knit position and watch some TV. When it’s this dreary out, it’s hard to get motivated to do much else.
I am glad my sweetie didn’t decide to drive home today - it’s pretty miserable to the south of here also - not good driving weather for sure.
We still have a lot of chocolate left over from yesterday. I’m still eating a lot of it.
It’s so true that depressed people eat more chocolate.
Midget if it’s true depressed people eat more chawklit, then several of us Mumpers (self included) must just border on suicidal judgin’ from all the comments about chawklit and the ingestion thereof. 
MOOOOOOM the really, really, bad Chinese [del]hog trough[/del] buffet which we will not under any circumstances eat at ever again and don’t even so much as want to drive by it but have to sometimes has “eat four times and get the fifth time free” on its sign now and still very few cars are ever parked there. I do not understand how they stay in bidness. ICK!
How you doin? I has an 'mergency, can you contribute to the SLF? (that would be the Spiderman Lunch Fund)
Swampy, Even PennDOT is more foward than that. I can renew online & print a receipt, which becomes my temp regisration that is good for 15 days until the ‘real’ one comes in the mail. Of course, they send the renewal notice about 3 months before it’s due & I just refuse to give the gov’mint my $ that far in advance, so I’m usually doing it some time after it expired. :smack: This year was only 11 days late.
Instead of a nice, slow week @ work, I’m now taking over a project for a complete incompetent. Verrrrry busy. Grrrr.
Husbands!
This morning, DH goes to work and calls a while later saying he took my keys, and guess what key isn’t on my ring - the key to his office. So, he was just going to have to sit in the car, out of the pouring rain and wait for SIL to arrive.
Oh well. No bother to me, or so I thought. I was going to go to the grocery store just now to forage for dinner. Where are his keys? Can’t find them.
Guess who had both sets of keys all along? :smack:
gotti DH owes you big. That should be some consolation.
So far today I have managed to get dressed, make lunch for my grandparents, clean the kitchen, and put the risers under my bed. Not necessarily in that order, especially the part about getting dressed first.
Midget, I keep forgetting to mention, but I thought that Winter Wonderland was quite lovely. 
Now I must descend into the depths of my bedroom and see what I can do. I’ve cleaned the entire damn house now, I don’t know why this one stupid room is bothering me so much. :dubious:
So, StickyBuns, you cleaned the kitchen and made N.O.L. nude? We’ll need to turn the hose on the straight men Mumpers when they see this.
Let that be a lesson to you - have a third key ring with spares and keep it in a designated place unless it’s needed. We have a key rack where we hang our car keys when we come home, and it’s also where we keep the valet keys, plus a whole bunch more that we can’t identify. They’re probably various house keys, but since we come in thru the garage, we don’t need a house key.
Yeah, I know, not smart, but it’s worked for 8 years so far… <she says as she knows she’s playing with fire…>
I’m done with my chores for today. Time to get back to my afghan. Coughing has returned - I’m pretty sure it’s because I stirred up all kinds of dust. ugh.
Thanks, Sticks.
I just went on a Boxing Day shopping spree - at the dollar store. Yes, I like dollar stores as well as craft stores. I’m weird. Anyway, I had a gift card for the dollar store.
Midget would that be the Dollah Tree? If so doggio will be proud.
MOOOOOOM I enter da cave through the garage. However, I do keep a house key on me for that fateful day when I, for whatever reason, lock the door from the garage into the kitchen. I haven’t done it yet but that does not mean I won’t do it at some point. I know me too well.

I’d love to, except for how much it would cost to get more keys made for the vehicles as neither has a plain old key that can be copied at the hardware store. We do at least have a spare key for the house tucked away somewhere.
It’s Dollarama. I’ve never heard of Dollar Tree.
The gym I used to go to had a big board when you walk in that most people would hang their keys on. How easy it would be to pick up a random set, walk outside & listen for the “chirp, chrip” - I could be in another state before they finished their workout. Probably take another 10 mins for them to look for their keys before walking outside & realize the keys are with the now-missing car.
If you have one of those old-fashioned cars that still has a keyhole you can buy a key at the hardware store that will unlock the doors & turn to the accessory position. It’s good for a cheap backup in case keys get accidentally locked in the car. (It’s a good thing I didn’t trust the Jr’s when we went to a race in the fall; as one of 'em managed to lock the doors but I had the cheepy spare hidden outside of the car so it took all of about 10 sec to remedy.)
I put the risers under my bed to make it easier on my knee to get in and out because this is a memory foam mattress and isn’t very tall. Unfortunately, so far today I have managed to jar that same knee a least twice by kicking the riser as I go by it. :dubious:
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind running around here sans clothing but the others in the house might frown upon it. <Just removed waaaay TMI statement about what used to happen when I owned my own home.>
