> [@Yllaria](#): > > No foolin’. I got my tax return yesterday and celebrated by ordering the last three Digger books. I did that even though I have the whole thing (including all the book extras) on PDF. I got the PDF and a lot of other electronic reading material when I signed up as a subscribing member of the con that sponsored last year’s Hugo awards. I read her twitter and journal, and often end up just laughing my ass off. Last weekend she found out her garden has a lawn crayfish, now named Craw-bob. Reading her changing from stunned disbelief to acceptance was amazing. ---

Giant extra-terrestrial rats minus any cuteness Earth rats have. 1pm my time and it’s already hit the projected daily high. Hottest part of the day tends to be closer to 4pm.

Yay, **rosie**!! Now, when do you move? \*\*FCD \*\*has gone out on his bike. He’s taken tomorrow off, so we’re going to have breakfast out, then go to Lowe’s and figure out what to do for my clothesline deck. I’m going to print out the materials list so we can see what it’ll cost us. I want it in before May is over. I’m tired of fighting that crappy umbrella-like clothesline thingy - it’s just not big enough and the lines are spaced too close. Chickie tits for supper - I haven’t decided on sides yet, but that’s the easy part. It’s been a gorgeous day at last! Slight chance of rain this evening - hope so - it’ll water my plantings. 😃 ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > **YAY!!!** > The checks are in - I’ll be picking them up this evening! Okay, Spidey, we’ll fly you in the balloon box to video her depositing the check. Swampy, I figure 30, 40 thousand feet out to about be right, hunh? ---

I’m getting ready to go see piddle-pup. I’ll stay there rather than go back and forth since I need to let her out every 3 hours. So I’ll change my work number to my cell phone and take calls over there. I need to leave soon so I can grab a soda and some munchies since I’ll be there from 5 til 11. I might try to sleep in the recliner and spend the night but I’m not sure. the last time I tried it I couldn’t sleep. ---

So the reason we had food at the A Meeting this afternoon was because everyone on the desk has been there at least a year. I also found out Mr. Mississippi is five years younger than I am. :eek: I’m not the baby anymore! We had a Butterfinger/Oreo cheesecake from[Karen Donatelli Cakes](https://www.facebook.com/pages/Karen-Donatelli-Cake-Designs/244260012303647). It was super-rich and very yum. It was also my dinner for tonight because it was super-rich. I took a walk when I got home to burn off some of it. Now it’s raining and I shall veg. ---

Howdy Y’all! Home from Evenin’ Prayer over to the church house. 'Twas nice as usual. Also, da fridge is emptied of leftovers. However, there is pot roast for tomorrow’s dindin with little **N.O.T.** and baby carrots. All I have to do is heat 'n eat, so yay! **nuts** that could work! Send in horrible, poisonous biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig ass Sri Lankan spiders instead of money. All your creditors will die from heart attacks or biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig ass spider poison! Hmmmmmm… I’m beginnin’ to see a market for Sri Lankan spiders. 😃 **flytrap** if we’re launchin’ a Sri Lankan spider I’m not sure thrity to forty thousand feet is high enough. I say we aim for puttin’ on on the moon. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > **flytrap** if we’re launchin’ a Sri Lankan spider I’m not sure thrity to forty thousand feet is high enough. I say we aim for puttin’ on on the moon. Dude, we are launching SpiderMAN to safeguard Rosie’s depositing the check, and obtain video for our edification. I think 30,000 would work. That’s where the airliners fly, so it must be safe. We can use the stamps everyone sent in to attach the box to the balloon. ---
