_OK. Thanks. Bye._ It’s LOLCAT speak! 😃

Sorry - I assume everyone knows that. Silly me.

Okay, I am missing something here. Is there a difference between a parking pad and a driveway?

A parking pad is like…groovy.🆒  
3 cheese chicken and roasted garlic potato wedges in the oven.

You are now my favorite Mumper. For the next hour maybe. What can I say? I grew up in an era when napalm was always an option.

Usually size and/or location.

The difference for me is  
A driveway is longer and comes up into the yard. If somebody parked in your driveway they would probably be blocking you in or out.  
A parking pad is usually 1 car deep, like mine is one car deep and 3 cars wide. It’s outside my fence so if somebody parks on it they aren’t coming up into my yard. It is still my property but at the edge.  
I usually back up through the gates and into the yard because we always have stuff to unload. So far nobody has blocked me in, today somebody parked crosswise but the driver stayed in the car.

That’s the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day; especially on primary eve. 🙂

Will one of the mods fix the title of this MMP & correct it to the _ **Game Show MMP** _.

I strongly disagree with LOLCat “speak”. I firmly believe that cats are quite intelligent enough to be able to use correct spelling and grammar.

Obviously you don’t know my cats… 😉

As I lay in bed last night, I realized in my glaze count, I completely forgot the 6 penguin-shaped spoon rests! So I have lots more to do than I thought. Fortunately, those 6 can be done in an assembly line - that should speed the process somewhat. We’ll see how much I get done today.

Monster thunderboomers overnight here. The saucers under my big planters are full to the rim - I’ll need to dump the water - at least as much as I can, especially considering the planters themselves will be heavy with wet soil. Can’t have skeeters breeding on my deck.

I bought a case of black cherry citrus Fresca yesterday - I’m a huge fan of black cherry. However, this stuff ain’t black cherry. I never liked Fresca anyway, but I was hopeful. I was wrong. \*\*FCD \*\*didn’t like it either. If I was still working, I’d leave it in the break room. \*\*FCD \*\*didn’t want to take it with him, so I’m stuck with 10 cans of nasty. ugh.

Cold front coming thru later today - tomorrow I can open the house again. Today will be hot and muggy so the windows stay closed. Fortunately, the basement is still cool and I’ll spend much of my day down there.

Happy Tuesday!!!

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 70 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 92 for the day and rain this afternoon. I have a doctor’s appointment at nine this a. of m. so I’m slackin’ a little bit. I figure there’s no need to head in to the orifice first thing and besides the doc’s orifice is on my way from da cave to irk.

Ok, that’s all I got. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Purtification for the doc and irk must also commence.

Happy Tuesday Y’all!
