Looking back – how history will interpret the MMP

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Happy Friday everyone and thank goodness it is here at last!

Smartie, it sounds like you did everything you could.

Li-Li, I’m sorry to hear about your parents’ doggie. Hopefully, Nat will help fill in the hole in the hearts.

Bobbio, I’m glad to see the PSA came back normal.

Swampy, that TP OBC must be a Southern thing. I heard one of my office mates talking on the phone to someone today and she was all aghast at their low level of TP. She told the individual she started to freak out when she had “only” sixteen rolls of TP left. After her conversation, I told her about you and your large stock of TP and how you’re always reminding us to buy TP.

Haze, I’m sorry you’re having such problems with cm. Maybe she’ll cool down and actually pay you rent, but I wouldn’t count on it. As someone upthread mentioned, it appears she’s been wanting to get out of this roommate deal for some time now and has latched on to something she thinks will get her out of it. Chin up, you’ll get through this.

I’ve got to think of something to make for dinner.

I’m still doing a damn fine impression of a blowfish in the general area of my legs. Yep, they’re quite attractive right now…not. I wish this shit would quit.

Well, I guess I better forage around in the freezer and pantry to see what I can make for chop-chop.

Haze - that truly sucks. Where did you find her to begin with? It seems she’s never been a good roommate.

363

Heh. We actually met at grad school. She was an odd one - I never really saw her that often during our school days; she was a bit of a recluse and rarely came to social events. But she seemed to like our closer social circle of friends (That Guy, Mr Cheerio, Capt. Cheekbones, et al) so we did hang out occasionally. So when we decided to live together we actually didn’t know each other that well, but we figured we could stand each other.

Living with her was never really the problem. She was untidy and did bring home stray drug addicts :stuck_out_tongue: but we got along well and had fun times. She is, however, a bit of a conspiracy theorist, as I’ve come to realize - she tends to assume that anything bad that happens is not her fault but rather the fault of someone out to get her. When her car got towed, for example, she immediately decided it was because Chicago cops had a prejudice against NY license plates, rather than the fact she was blocking a driveway. :dubious:

I can forgive my friends a lot. If my best friend showed up on my doorstep with a dead body I’d help her bury it first and ask questions later. But I don’t think I’ll be able to forgive Cloud Maiden this. It just goes against everything I believe in when it comes to friendship.

I let That Guy read her email, and my reply, and he said I managed to sound pretty calm given the circumstances. I did write a rather hysterical reply at first but then I stepped back and re-read it and managed to tone it down before hitting send.

364

Which reminds me. Did you remember to stock up on TP on your trip to Costco? :dubious: Oh and your co-worker lives dangerously. She lets it get all the way down to sixteen rolls??? :eek: Tell her I said she’s a piker. :smiley:

We have consumed ‘nanner puddin’. I is sleepified.

ETA: Don’t ever get me started on the importance of having at least one unopened can of coffee on hand at all times.

365

Haze - could her “attitude” be escalating because she doesn’t know how to deal with your imminent departure? Separation anxiety?

eta - you’re more than welcome to stay here, but that’d be one hell of a commute - and I don’t allow smoking inside. :wink:

366

Well, she’s not living here anyway - she’s in NY.

Awhile ago her mother was angry at her for lending her boyfriend $600 so he wouldn’t have to go to HIS parents for rent (obviously she borrowed money from HER parents since she wasn’t earning jackshit at the time). I think she’s just scared to ask her parents for more money, although if her parents are letting her do this instead of honoring her agreement . . . well, it would explain a lot.

Aww. Hee. I’d go insane. You’d have to keep me . . . distracted. :: leer ::

367

:D:D:D
you realize you just gave doggio, bbbob, beebs, and MBG apoplexy.

368

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley: I see we’re being silly this lovely Friday evening… :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Well…yes…I know I don’t actually NEED a reason, Haze, but I was sure I actually had one. So, I googled something like “raspberry jam with frozen raspberries” and found this. The cookies sound yummy. And she includes a recipe for raspberry jam made with frozen raspberries. Yay!

GT

369

Ooh, pretty. I’ve made similar cookies before. I think they were called Empire Cookies or something of the sort. Pretty cookies always take more work though.

370

I’m a native Minnesotean and I must have at least one extra pack (large pack, 12 double rolls) on hand at all time, so it’s not just a Southern thing. :smiley:

371

Thanks for the hugzez and good wishes, all, it’s much appreciated. I’m doing okay but I still do feel bad about the dog, even though I’ve come to the realization that he was probably too stupid to live and was existing on borrowed time anyway… For some reason that makes me feel better. I’m sending all my extra feel betterzez to the rest of us having a bad pet week. What is it, the weather or something? Sheesh…

Haze, your roommate sounds like a total twatwaffle and I’d be absolutely furious with anyone trying to decide for me who I’d live with. That is totally beyond the pale! While I’m not happy that you have to go back to Korea, I’m glad you have the excuse to break off that relationship no harm/no foul.

VBob, glad to hear about your gland and if you post the link I’ll probably click on it and I’ll probably regret it but don’t let that stop you, okay?

Taters, you need to walk around on your hands for a while to give everything a chance to even out! :wink:

Okay, WTF is this thing with the toilet paper, seriously! I use Scott, we go through one roll about every 1.5-2 weeks, I buy a 12 pack at a time and get more when I put the last roll on the spindle. Who keeps THAT MUCH extra TP around? Is there some impending bumwad shortage looming that nobody sent me the memo about?

**taxi, ** you need to get together with gt and put some razzleberries in the middle of that Sin Cake because that would be AWESOME! Also, substituting Trader Joe’s chocolate filled JoJo’s sandwich cookies instead of Oreos would be da shiznitz… Those cookies are organic and totally yummilicious. They have peanut butter ones too, mmmmm… coooooookieeeeeeezzz!

Haze, rosie, you know better than to tease the ball-bearing animals like that! Room 304, ladies, before Mama spank! :stuck_out_tongue:

Hmmm, I have some nanners that have seen better days–anybody have a good nanner bread or cake recipe? Swampy?

372

This link is so NSFW, and broken at http…

Finally, a visual for beer and cockies.

373

MCUNE if it weren’t for the fact that I’m gay and you’re already married I’d say we were a match made in heaven. :smiley:

Now, if only all the other tp slackers would listen.

374

:: falls over laughing ::

I think I want to put that in my living room.

375

Home tired, sore. New trucking company sucks. Oh, I go TP shopping when I get down to 30 (double)rolls.

Rosie, great video. You and Haze? Darn right I’d be “apoplexying” in my bunk. :smiley:

It sucks Haze. Can you call the Cloudparents?

LiLi, sorry about the parental pup. The Gnat and cat thing is the reverse of my parents. They replaced me with a dog.

BBobbio, glad to hear about the PSA. [del] Where’s that link?[/del] BWHAHAHAHA[sub][sub]snork[/sub][/sub]BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Haze, would you drink straight from the tap?

376

It’s a thing of beauty, I get one too.

Come to think of it, I’ll just drop by your place.

Apoplexy indeed.

Now where’d those shoe picture thread go to?

377

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! That’s the funniest picture I’ve seen in ages.

I cannot believe that Uncle Sam has shown this much common sense. I was just going through my credit union accounts and found that my $600 “check” has been sitting in my share account since Tuesday. Yay! It took me a bit to connect the dots because I had one deposit from the U.S. Treasury (my regular refund), one from Ohio, and then another one from the U.S. Treasury. It took a second for the significance of $600 to register. Everything I’d heard about this payment made it sound like they were going to waste money on paper and envelopes and postage for everyone. Money is staying in my savings for now…

Back to looking at money stuff.

GT

378

OMG. I would totally take a photo of that and make it my Facebook profile pic.

Not really. Or would I?

379

Appropriate greetings to all… I’ve got to get up and drive to Columbus waaaay too early in the morning. Earlier today I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it or not because I had a fever and was very tired. I think my fever is gone but I’m still pretty weak.

Goodnight! Off to go pack for the trip.

xoxo,

Pie

Tease. :stuck_out_tongue:
