My Grumpy Morning MMP

Recipe request: I’ve been thinking about making a squash casserole lately. Anybody have a good recipe?

Had to work late, am now doing laundry.

there’s probably one here, somewhere

Here I am back in the MMP again. How did I get here when I should either still be working or giving up and going to bed? Oh well. Sleep is overrated.

What other ingredients are you looking for in the casserole, Spaz?

I have no jokes at the moment but will think of some soon. Can tell you that my nephew was particularly enamored of knock-knock jokes when he was about 3. He would tell jokes that made no sense at all and then laugh so hard that we had to laugh along with him.

There really are lots of answers to what’s black and white and red all over, aren’t there?

Went to a church-related meeting tonight; it was us and a whole bunch of other congregations (37, maybe? including 4 synagogues and one mosque). Really cool to see all these different people working together for a cause (it’s part of our social justice ministry).

Am trying not to catch a sore throat (I think it’s allergies from being around lots of leaf mold yesterday).

Gotta get to bed…

Hugs to all.

Up in the middle of the night which is not a good thing, unfortunately. Ah well!

Monday afternoon was my annual mammogram. I don’t think I’ll ever schedule one for the afternoon again; I was very tired and stiff and it was hard for me to move the way the radiology tech needed me to. It was after 6 pm by the time I got home, and after I had a bit of dinner, I watched a little tv and fell asleep until after 11 pm. That’s why I’m up in the middle of the night, I’m off-schedule. :frowning: I hope that the tech got good enough pics knocks on wood three times

You guys make me love the medical system back home, where mammogram results are handed to the patient within one hour.

How long can it be until the re-appointment if the images weren’t good enough or they need to run an ultrasound?

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. I made a post last night before goin’ to bed but I guess it got eated.

So… nun jokes huh? I blame BioRosie. :stuck_out_tongue:

What’s blackandwhiteandblackandwhiteandblackandwhiteandblackandwhite?

A nun falling down the stairs.

What’s blackandwhiteandblue all over?

Same nun the day after she fell down the stairs.

Last night at our men’s night, we were offered a new grill. This is a stainless steel Viking grill with a porcelin cooking grate and two side burners. This is a grill that costs sixty-five hundred bucks new. Anywho, the catch is, it needs to be moved from where it is now to the church and will take about five people to move it. So, of course, I volunteered. I have no sense whatsoever apparently. :smiley:

Also, I was [del]railroaded into bein’[/del] asked to be nominated to serve a three year term on the Vestry. See above comment re having no sense whatsoever.

Ok, I need more caffiene and brekkie before purtification. Thus beginneth my work week.

Happy Tuesday Y’all!

Love the jokes.

Hugs for Dotty.

Am about to fall over from starvation. :: thunk ::

(((((Dotty)))))

Been busy here, lots going on, no time to post!

An old Pilot sat down at the Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee.

As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him…

She turned to the pilot and asked, ‘Are you a real pilot?’

He replied, ‘Well, I’ve spent my whole life flying biplanes, Cubs, Aeroncas, Neiuports, flew in WWII in a B-29, and later in the Korean conflict, taught 50 people to fly and gave rides to hundreds, so I guess I am a pilot.’

She said, ‘I’m a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about naked women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about naked women. When I shower, I think about naked women. When I watch TV, I think about naked women. It seems everything makes me think of naked women.’

The two sat sipping in silence.

A little while later, a young man sat down on the other side of the old pilot and asked, ‘Are you a real pilot?’

He replied, 'I always thought I was, but I just found out I’m a lesbian.

nosense plantigrade, what does the Vestry involvement imply?

Bobbio, by that definition, every female college student is either a gay man or a lesbian, with lesbians in the absolute minority.

I’m a lesbian? :confused: Who’dathunkit?! Methinks I need to hunt down the mohel who circumcised me – guess he cut too much off! :eek: :smiley:
OTOH, I could work with the idea of most college girls being Gay Men – after all, gay men are always trying to hit on straight guys, right…? :wink:

Tarra – here’s hoping for nothing to show up on the mammogram

I know we’ve asked each other last week where Rigs has been at lately – and I’m going to add a “Where’s Kai?!” to the list

Taters – if it makes you feel better, 10.5 hours sounds like one of my easy days :rolleyes:
And best wishes for negative medical tests for you as well!

Hi Haze! Hope you got fed :slight_smile:

**Spaz **-- just don’t get involved with your roomate; and if’n you do, please resist the urge to cook his bunny!!! :eek: :eek: :smiley:

What do you call a gay man flying an airplane?A pilot, you homophobe!

Tuesday blurfage. I never could get the hang of Tuesdays.

Blurf. C’mon Firday.

Not quite so full of blurf this morning. Managed to get to bed earlier last night, and despite one of the cats repeatedly trying to get me up from about 5am, managed to get enough sleep that my keyboard doesn’t look like a good substitute for a pillow.

Moar Dave Allen (from memory, so paraphrased):

A dashing young man sidled up to a young woman at a ball and says to her, “I am the fastest lover in the world. I can seduce you before you know it.” The woman looked dubious and asked, “But will I enjoy it?” He responds, “Didn’t you?”

A drunk Irishman weaving his way home from the pub on a cold and rainy night was taking a shortcut through a graveyard when he slipped and fell into an open grave. He scrabbled to climb up, but the soil was far too wet and slippery to give him any footing. Another drunk Irishman, who had earlier stumbled into the same open grave, tapped him on the shoulder and said, “You’ll never get out!” He did.

This reminds me of my favorite Stephen Wright joke:

I once sat in an airplane next to a blonde Chinese girl who only liked Jewish cowboys. I said, “Hi. I’m Bucky Goldstein…”

ETA: If this keeps up much longer, we will have set a new MMP record for staying on topic.

Good health vibes are winging their way to you, dottie.

I just remembered a joke that’s not really all that funny but the punch line became a staple in our family for years.* As told by Sophie, my little sister’s friend.

A horny sailor is at the USO club looking for some action. He spies a likely young lady and waltzes her onto the floor. Snuggling up to her, he whispers in her ear “You know…I’m only here for the weekend.” To which she answers, “Well, I’m dancing as fast as I can!”

Much blurf today.

Tupug

*Whenever someone was queried about taking too long on something, we’d say “I’m dancing as fast as I can.”

Hai everybody.

I meant to post yesterday, but I decided I should first take a poke around Etsy to find a prezzie for Sister Dearest and ended up spending the next six hours ooh-ing and aah-ing over pretty shiny things.

The good news is that I found a pretty lariat necklacethat I think she’ll love. The bad news is that I bought a couple of things for myself while I was at it. :smack: Now I remember why I don’t check out Etsy more often.

Speaking of AWOL Mumpers, has anyone heard from Moonie recently? He hasn’t posted or logged in since he shared the news about his father’s layoff, as far as I can tell… I’m hoping all is well and hope someone out there has an update?

Spaz, I have a butternut squash casserole on my blog. Not sure if it’s what you had in mind, but it’s got a really great pistachio-lemon-breadcrumb topping.

I has no jokes. I do has hugs for Dotty, though. {{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}

Nope, didn’t find one. That was the first place I looked. Just a plain ol’ casserole would be fine, gt. Nothing too fancy or complicated. (Muppet’s casserole is good, but the topping is too much for my kitchen space/money right now.)

Actually, for the first time since I graduated from college the first time, my Official Roommate is female. :slight_smile: Her boyfriend is always around, though so he will now be dubbed Unofficial Roommate.

I’m still sore from the shot yesterday. I work tomorrow and then I get two more days off. :smiley: I like the way my weekends work this week.

I need to go to the grocery store and the library today. Such big plans I have.
