I think listening to whiny teenagers is Hell.
Certainly one level of it, anyway.
I am bored. Is it too early to go to bed?
I’m sitting here surfing the Dope and watching Picante hunt little crickets. Man, he’s fun to watch!
Awww.
I want a gecko now.
What does his name mean, anyway?
FCM, that’s an admirable goal, but I maintain there’s nothing more satisfying than getting a good butt scritching from the wife.
What? She likes that. Really. Says I got a cute butt.
mika, you letting Picante catch the little buggers? Least you can do is teach him to hunt like true MMP pet ya’ know.
Alrighty, All-Star game time. The Kid’s got a couple friends over, the pizza just got here, and my Stella ought to be cold right about now…
Picante = hot/spicy in Spanish
I’m feeling lazy. I’m thinking I’m done cleaning up for tonight. Gonna go curl up with a book for a while.

If you get the right litter, cat poo doesn’t smell. Besides - lizards poo and it’s runny and oh so messy
rebo - congrats on the new baby
twinkie - yes you’re overthinking it, but if you really don’t want to go, it’s better to be honest with your SIL than to make up a lie - I don’t mean about not liking her friend - that’s between you and the friend - I mean if you really don’t feel comfortable
Hey y’all! Just thought I’d drop in. Yeah, I haven’t posted in a while, I know.
Nothing major going on right now, but I did do my big Italy vacation a few weeks ago. I had a fabulous, fabulous time. I can’t wait to go back - someday.
Other than that, it’s my standard life. Some stuff going on with work that is expected to cause chaos in the next few weeks. It’s the kind of situation that makes you wonder what comes next - and you know things are probably going to change.

Yes, he really is cute. He ate more tonight, maybe 10 or 12, then went and slept in his cave, all tuckered out.
Spats, Picante means spicy.
I pronounce it Pee-kant-ey.
I have never heard a single person claim their cat poo doesn’t smell - and I know a lot of people with cats! And his poo is tiny and white and not runny at all, actually. 
What, play with them and torture them? or ignore them?
Cats hunt by playing, torturing, killing, then walking away bored when they realize the prey is no longer moving. Then they go eat kibble from the bowl.
And their poo stinks.
No question, their poo stinks.
T.G.I.T.
It’s the(mid)weekend! Two glorious days off in a row. I have a beervrige in hand, and pizza is on the way.
spats, Here are your reptile overlords.
Rebo Awwwww.
**swampy **, the cutest thing would be these guys in a crib with Picante and Dotneph.
rigs while you are at the store, I could use a six pack and some Milk-Bones. After 17 years in retail, being a bystander beats being a target.
FCM I agree about the humidity, it’s making my hair start to curl.
mika dog and cat poo don’t smell that bad, dog farts are another story. When Maggie lets one rip, I have to flee the room.
Ah fcm, pt isn’t a lot of fun. I have stretching exercises for my shoulders, and if I do not do them, I pay for it dearly. Hang tough, and self medicate with ice cream as necessary.
bobbio, who then, pray tell, is Mrs. Right (first name Always)? I could have sworn it was a daughter you were referring to, I just know it isn’t your wife…
mika, first things first, I did not know that there was a second Discworld game, and I appreciate your offer to burn me a copy. I may take you up on it, but I can’t email you. My email is in my profile though, if you want to send a shout out! Your geko is precious, I loved the little gekos in Hawaii, and #3 daughter had a skink for a long time. She only ate crickets though, (the skink, not my daughter!) but it was nice to hear the crickets at night! We don’t have any crickets/grasshoppers, amphibians or reptiles here in the frozen north, and I missed the sound. The skink passed on to her Great Reward last year, and so far I have resisted her pleas for a boa/python. She/we are getting kittens this weekend, so that should keep her entertained!
Ellen Cherry I do not think it’s legal to describe such a treat without giving the recipe, it sounds just too yummy and festive! The box is gorgeous, I say buy it!
rebo the baby is adorable! Why does everyone else have such small babies though? with the exception of The Son, mine all weighed at least 8 1/2 lbs, and #2 was 9 1/2 lbs, so not fair!
And if the dogs get it out of the litter box, it’s kitty-roca!
We are raining again today, the current temp is 50F with 94% humidity. We might actually make it to 60F tomorrow though, whee!
Any prayers, good thoughts, etc. you could spare would be appreciated. #1 daughter and husband have been attempting to procreate for over a year, and after multiple tests they found out yesterday that her right fallopian tube is blocked. They already found out that she has been releasing unripe eggs, and I really don’t know where they go from here. It’s very emotional for them, I am holding my emotions in check for the time being. Well, as much as I can. The procedure she went through yesterday was painful (can’t think of the name of it right now) and I hate the helpless feeling. Up until now our family (for generations) have been fertile as rabbits, my poor baby just wants to be a mama.
Thanks, y’all.
Prayers headed out, kai. Lots of prayers.
Kisses all round. I’m glad I have tomorrow off.
Prayers and good thoughts headed out to kaidaughter.
Hey s_f! Good to hear from ya! Glad your trip to Eyetaly was fun. Come back and tell us all about it. [del]Nosy[/del] Inquiring cool kids want to know.
Aaaaah, Grasshopper, it was a reference to my wife, who is quite gifted in the bullhead department…
They had adorable skins at the reptile show, too. And sure, I’ll e-mail you shortly. I’d be glad to burn you a copy.
All the best of luck!
Dunkin Donuts gave me blueberry coffee this morning. I did not ask for blueberry coffee. I’ll drink it, because it’s what’s here, but I must let someone know I’m upset.
Got my fingers crossed for kaidaughter–the whole MMP can make miracles. 
Mika, Rosie, how would you guys feel about the weekend of August 12 for the Faire?
Happy Hump Day!
Good luck to the kaiwikkid!
Not much going on, I’m afraid. Just work, which I don’t feel like doing. 
I can do August 12th. I’m marking it tentatively, be sure to let me know if it’s definite.
And blueberry coffee doesn’t sound good.
