rigby, ditto what fcm said.
rigs, I just want to tell you good luck. We’re all counting on you. [/airplane!] Seriously though, I’m sure you’ll do well. 
Which one’s on third base? 
Limp bunnies. No, it’s more Playboy than anything, don’t you think?
Finished War of the Flowers. I can’t vacuum yet because Mr. Lissar is still sleeping. I could make more sandwiches, but I made thirty yesterday, and I can’t get enthusiastic.
I’m really hungry. Dinnertime.
My crystals tell me somebody on the MMP is going to do well on her test. The crystals never lie.
So I’ve had ebola again, only not so bad this time. It was a mini-ebola attack and calling the police was unneccessary, thank goodness.
Bless me Ultima, how did you finish that book so quickly Lissla? It’d give a Klingon a concussion! Then again, I read slowly, what with an attention span of-- hey, shiney!
Right now, both my cats are completely naked. The bells on their collars were irritating my mini-ebola riddled ears and had to go.
My bad seatmate story involves TMI and I’ve been ma’am-ed since I was thirteen.
It was a very grrrrrrr day at work today; AGAIN. I hate when crap rains down on you all at once. People saw the velvet glove removed from the iron fist at a meeting today. It’s not often that comes out. Along with the fist came “The Look”. I, of course, immediately apologized if I sounded unprofessional, but the individual had it coming to him. He called me on the carpet in a group session. This is just not DONE. So, I responded in kind, and made him look like a fool in the process.
I came home to no internet access. Hubby wasn’t happy, but I got on the phone with Comcast and it was fixed quickly. He’s slightly happier now.
Ashes, I hope your crystals predict a better rest of the month for me. I could use it.
Tonight’s dinner is very, very bad. I’m making deep fried popcorn chicken and mac and cheese. I’m waiting for the oil to heat now.
Actually, I guess I better check on the oil.
Tonight’s fortune cookie:
You are a person of culture
<snerk> away, swampy
Couldn’t do half the chores while Mr. Lissar was asleep. I had the whole afternoon to read, and it’s a fast read, faster than some of his other stuff. There was a comment on the back that said, paraphrased, “For those who would like to read Tad Williams but who don’t want to invest two years on a four-book series, this is the book!”. I thought that was pretty funny.
It’s pretty good. Memory, Sorrow and Thorn is still my favourite by him but it is four eight hundred page novels. This is less of a time commitment.
Do I want to go out for a walk tonight? It’s warm. I could call Attacks Things Husband and find out if he would like to walk. I’m on a (hopefully) sustained fitness kick. I’m trying to do 160 crunches a day, plus light arm weight things and a bunch of pushups. This is my third day in a row. I want to work up to 200 crunches in the next week. We just have to see if I can keep it up.
I forgot- plus at least a half hour of fast walking a day. It’s a half-hour round trip to and from work, and we walk a great deal for fun. Not having a car has always been a serious exercise encourager.
Was out too late last night (past 10 - I’m a wimp) and have to get ready now, so the last installment will have to wait…
FCM - I sent you an e-mail cuz I’m secretly hoping to get the second prize in the raffle.
Isn’t it funny to think about going home by a different route, Drae? It took me months to get all my routes straightened out after I moved here.
Hi everyone else…!
GT
I’ve performed my good-luck ritual for test-takers and house-closers.
I can’t give you details as that might un-spell the spell, but it involves nudity, arm waving, chanting and moonlight. I think I did a job. My dogs and the neighbors seemed very impressed.
Time to play catch-up…
Just insist that there be an option on the log-in screen to bypass all the Flash (or equivalent) stuff. That way people who know better about that kind of stuff don’t have to put up with it.
I started using a Mac for the first time when I started this job. It’s a lot easier now that they have the Windows programs for the Mac. It picked it up right away. It’s such a nice system that when I replace my home rig, it’s gonna be one of these.
You are a person of culture
<snerk> in bed! <snerk>
And I think I found a way to trick the insomnia. The last couple of nights I’ve read in bed without my glasses. After about a half-hour, my brain has had enough and says, “Alright, everybody out of the pool! We’re closed!”
<snerk>IN BED!<snerk>
Ok, that one is funny!
Good luck on the test rigs!
Happy getting yourself in debt for the next 30 year or so day Drae!
Happy whatever makes ya happy everybody else!
I can feel the love… But did you bury St Anthony upside down? Or was that St Francis? Hell, maybe you could accost a nun for me…or raise some mojo(what is mojo?).
Am off in 20 minutes–thought I’d play here for a minute to “relax”.
think of a cat that has just had its tail stepped on–that’s about my nerve level at present. The reason I am NOT an Oscar winning actress is because of stage fright and butterflies. If I could tame the “I’m gonna throw up or at least want to” jitters before ANY performance (snerk)–I coulda made millions…
(I’ll be fine once the test is in front of me. Hey, maybe the test monitor guy will be cute…gack! Focus, Rigby, focus!)
FCD --If I do well on my GRE, c’n I have the second lidded pot? (gitch yer mitts offa my pot, GT!)
Many thanks for the support here–I like youse guys!
It’s St. Joseph, Patron saint house hunters! (Also Patron Saint of dying people; emigrants; engineers; expectant mothers; families; fathers; as well as Bohemia and the Diocese ofLouisville, Kentucky.) Being the resident Catholic has to be useful for something.
Nothing particularly interesting has happened to me lately. I work all day at a job I can barely tolerate … go home and cook and clean, and go to bed exhausted!
I’ve got the insurance taken care of, and the walkthrough is in an hour and a half. Of course, I got lost on the way back from the insurance agency. I’ve been dealing with the same insurance agency for ten years or more, and I can get to their office easily. I get lost on the way home every. damn. time.
I’m off to sweep the house for things I won’t need in the next twety-four hours. I shall report back when Phase Two of the Great Moving Plan is complete.
Good luck, rigs! You’ll do fine. I didn’t think it was bad when I did the GREs. But then again, I was only 6-mos out of college and still in that mindset. But still… you’ll be fine! (And besides, you’ve probably left by now so this will have to be a retroactive “good luck!”)
Why am I having more trouble planning a honeymoon than planning the wedding?? Shouldn’t that be the easy part?
I dunno, taxi, why are you? Too many choices of places to go as opposed to one choice of husband to marry?
I am learning my way around my Mac. I can now burn CDs and DVDs. That’s all good. And I know how to hide applications…like the Dope so nobody knows I’m foolin around.
It’s very compact. Everything is contained right in the flat screern monitor except for the keyboard and mouse. the mouse is quite cool, too. It’s a laser mouse and even has a little scrolly wheel like my former logitec mouse did. Have I gone over to the dark side? :eek:
Well, yes. But don’t worry, I hear the dark side has a great dental plan. And muffins!
[Drew Carey]There’s a support group for people like you. IT’S CALLED THE BAR! WE MEET THERE AT 5 O’CLOCK![/DC]
yes, but they’re brussel sprout muffins.
