Live from Raleigh, It's The MMP!

Ah.
My apologies.

Mom and FCD had a terrible fight on Facebook!
Blows and Vile Oaths were exchanged!
Murder in the Straight Dope Message Board!

I’ve been mac-n-cheesed. I’ve decided I’m going to watch The Graduate on Netflix - believe it or not, I’ve never seen it. So that’ll be my evening.

MWAH!

Aw, so pugly. :smiley:

{{{{{{{{sari}}}}}}}}

In that spirit, I need to rant as well. Off I go to workplace griping.

I hope so Swampy, I hope so.
Sorry for the rant and thanks for the hugs.
I’m mostly mad at myself for losing it, it’s like giving that asshole a great big gold star.
But I warned my mother, if he so much as said one word to me after all the snark I put up with from him I was going to let him have it.

Anyway
on a different note the female HFH called mom to tell her we…
have a ghost in the house.
How do we know we have a ghost? Because her dog stares down the hallway and barks at something nobody can see.
That the dog could just be stupid or afflicted doesn’t enter into it I guess.
I ain’t ascared of no ghost so it doesn’t bother me.

Cats supposedly see ghosts when they stare off into the distance, wide eyed.
In their case, it is interior decorating.
“You painted the kitchen beige? Good God man, the appliances are arctic white!”

Dogs, I’m not so sure.

(((((Sari))))).

Home finally and so ready for the weekend. 'Twas a long hard week. Steak night and sneezing non stop. Arrrgg.

Good luck w the yard sale Mmmmoooommmm.

Hello doggio. Thanks for the tackle hug.

Here’s hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Much mellowness ensues at da cave. Goin’ to go snuggle down with OYKW. :smiley:

Nitey Nite Y’all!

Yes, don’t spray, bludgeon, or phaser too many customers.

Mooooooooooom, I haven’t checked in because I was busy with domestic issues today.

Oh sure, She could surely used your support when she and FCD were fighting Tooth and Nail over FCD’s poor lions, but no, you had more important things to do, and I was on my own!

I would be a very good witness. Honest and upright.

Bedtime!

INSOMNIA!!!

Moving day is Tuesday. Monday is packing day. Sunday is hide under the covers day. Today is try to purge some junk day.

Once again, I woke up way too early. But I’m dressed and having some breakfast before starting set-up. I’ve decided Higgs will stay inside - otherwise, she may bark the entire time and I don’t want to deal with it. She’ll have all afternoon to run around outside.

**BBBobbio **- hope you didn’t have to deal with anything too serious…

**flytrap **- you think that was a fight?? It is to laugh!! muahahahahahahaha!!

Things to do this morning - find the nail apron, move the old gas grill out front - I should have done that yesterday - bring a chair for me, and set up everything. Whew!

Oh yeah - and a radio!

HELP MEEEEEEEE!!!

And Happy Saturday.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 57 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 85 for the day and a high pollen count. This ensures sneeziness all day. Also, since I have a chore to accomplish this mornin’ it ensures outside and sneezin’. I shall betake myself over to the church house around eight this mornin’ to help with mowage. We call this, if y’all remember me talkin’ about it last year, “The Ministry of The Back Forty.” Hopefully we shall have three teams to take turns with this so nobody does it more than every couple of months. It’s a large area of the grounds not contracted out to the yahd service. The service takes care of the area in front of the church, around the buildin’ itself, the playground area and up to the road. The backside of the grounds where the gardens (veggie gardens), holdin’ pond and a lot of pee-kahn trees is what we mow. All told that’s about four and a half acres. We have a large zero turn mower, a smaller zero turn mower and a couple push mowers with which to accomplish mowage. I gotta admit, the zero turn mowers are fun to drive, so while it’s work, it’s also kinda fun.

Now I need more caffiene and should get somewhat presentable for the public. We shall have sausage bizkits this mornin’ before mowin’ (it’s a tradition) so brekkie is taken care of, so yay!

MOOOOOOM good luck with sellin’ the yahd today! :smiley:

Rosie happy junk purgin’ day!

Happy Sattidy Y’all!

Blurf. Got up later than expected. Why am I so sleepy today? Maybe I could/should get some coffee or something.

Good morning.

Sounds like Rosie, FCM and Swampy will be busy today! That’s good. It’ll keep you out of trouble, for the most part. :smiley:

Things here will get movin’ along at some point. It’ll be a couple of busy days for us. I’ve got to go pick up the husband just north of here in a bit. From there, we’ve got to head to Menards for some stuff. From there, it’ll be straight back home, where we’ll begin some vegetable plantin’, and putting together another raised bed. I’m going to smoke a massive pork shoulder, and another turkey, too. So, I need to get the smoker all fired up first thing, after we get back home.

I hope to get some sun, and try to get a little color on parts of my very pale epidermis. How much you want to bet that the only color I’ll get, will be reminiscent of a cooked lobster?

Have a good day, Dopers.

Doctors and payday provisioning, nothing major. Some minor good news medically. Remember mentioning how my blood sugar numbers were a plot point in the gall bladder non-surgery? Two months later, my A1c has come down 2 points, and my quack was very happy with me. Also, my liver has straightened itself out, where the wonky numbers are thought to be an effect of the attacks.

For that matter, no more attacks since the Super Bowl. :slight_smile:

I think I’ll get my carcass dressed, then go fix my bike so I have 21 gears instead of 7.

Cool!

Happy Saturday!

It looks sunny, a high of 73 today.
I can open my window.

I didn’t sleep well last night, so today my eyes are burning and I feel a bit blurfy.
Sometimes I work my best when I feel blurf.

I guess it will be irk irk irk today as I have nothing else to do other than get some paper irk together for the mortgage company. I don’t know if it is worth getting it together yet. They want my last 30 days worth of pay stubs and the last two months of bank statements. Since it’s near the end of the month I should probably wait for the statements.
I need to do some cleaning around here too.

Good luck at the yard sale FCM
Happy smoking ACE
Happy purging Rosie
Happy Mowing Swampy
Yay for a happy liver BBBobbio
get some coffee Midget

I wonder if my mother is still mad at me?
Oh well, she will get over it or not

I didn’t mention that VWife very nearly did not live through Thursday night. Somebody must have secretly put speed in her Percocet, because she decided that 10:30 PM was a good time to start cleaning out the kitchen cabinets. Herself. Just so you know how out of character that is, her usual MO is to make an executive finding that The Cabinets Must Be Cleaned and Reorganized, then watches from the couch while I do the work for her.

Honest to Og, I could not decide if I should beat her to death with a shovel, or dig my sleeping and bivy bags out of the closet and go sleep in someone else’s back yard.
