**Dotty** I wanted to tell you that **HRH** is also one of the most beautiful babies ever! Thanks **Haze** and **gt** and **herbs** for the comments on Tea, you too **flutter** , but she is my granddaughter. I have four kids of my own, and she belongs to my eldest daughter and sil, who live in Anchorage, so my visits with them are few and far between, and I have to be satisfied with phone calls and photos, and the _messages_ Tea bangs out on the keyboard when she’s sitting on her mama’s lap. I still have two teenagers at home though… Thanks for the prayers for my family **herbs** , Lord knows we need them. > [@flutter](#): > > What should I do with the salmon? I would not refreeze the salmon. If you are interested I could tell you how to quick salt it and make some lovely pickled salmon, just let me know. I’m glad that you have flowers blooming **rebo** , I just wish I was in the same situation! As it is, the rain has melted off most of the snow, and if the yard isn’t too soggy tomorrow I will go take some photos of Alaska in the Spring tomorrow. So glad that your trip was uneventful though long **FCM**. Enjoy yourself with your kid and all! Okay, time to [del]torture[/del] groom Tascha Pascha. I forsee fur flying! ---

**Spaz** where do you find this stuff? Why did I feel compelled to look at it? Is there a brain bleach store open this time of day? Jeez! ---

[QUOTE=SpazCat] I have determined that there is some kind of [weird](http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/5255433.html#cutid1)[crack](http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/5257608.html#cutid1) over the International Date Line. And I want some. Because this would make no sense without it. [/QUOTE] I don’t think they’d make any sense with it, either. [QUOTE=swampbear] I’m impressed! Rebo knows Meatloaf well enough he calls her even! What’s he up to these days? 😃 [/QUOTE] I think he’s lost a bunch of weight, actually (I did not click the links, however, so I could be wrong) [QUOTE=tarragon918] I have been lolling about today, watching TCM (Turner Classic Movies for the uninitiated :)); I love that station! I watched “Love with the Proper Stranger” at 4 AM even - Natalie Wood -and- Steve McQueen … swoon! [/QUOTE] It’s a truly great channel - every Sunday I run thru the channel line up screen for that channel, and choose my week’s recordings. I’ve got about two dozen of my favorites stored up so far. ---

[QUOTE=bbs2k] I don’t know either. It helps to imagine that I assume everyone I meet on the internet must be weird until I actually meet them. [/QUOTE] Then I suppose I’m flattered? Sorry about not joining the official fest - by the time I got back to the hotel, I could barely walk. I have no idea why my legs were hurting so much, but they were. The good news is, they don’t now. When I see the knee surgeon on Tuesday, I will be [del]holding him accountable[/del] asking him about that [QUOTE=bbs2k] Oh, PS, I think I just had an earthquake. WTF! It’s Boston! [/QUOTE] Nah, it was just the guy next door shoving his piano down the steps. ---

Let’s Bible? _Let’s Bible?_ Dear god in heaven–what the hell is that? I stopped scrolling when I got to this: the bit about Jesus being the scantily dressed girl I think the Japanese have had too much raw fish. It has effected their brains. And who is the supposedly evil dude in the tricorn hat? I don’t associate tricorns with evil, just Paul Revere tedium. I hereby declare **tarragon** to be the gay/straight liaison. #1 son has his BIG HUGE BROADCASTING DOCUMENTARY TOMORROW–he goes LIVE, ON THE AIR AT 1:05 PM. He is on for 55 minutes-just him and his doc. He did his on the Napster case and illegal file sharing etc. Tune in to WHFH 88.5 FM. If you live about 10 miles away, forget it. Please sacrifice small animals and other things for him–prayers and good wishes are also acceptable. I, as the DOC MOM, am required to bring in enough pizza to supply a small army. I think I will also bring some drink (non alcoholic of course) and cookies. ---

Pizza _and_ cookies? Will you be my mom too? 😃 Ok, shortly, I shall post the new MMP. I shall pop in and announce it when I do. Even if it won’t be Monday where I am when I post it, it’s Monday somewhere. Besides, it’ll give the night shift sump’n new to play with. ---

Leftovers from last week… [QUOTE=tarragon918] I have been lolling about today, watching TCM (Turner Classic Movies for the uninitiated :)); I love that station! I watched “Love with the Proper Stranger” at 4 AM even - Natalie Wood -and- Steve McQueen … swoon! [/QUOTE] For us, the recent “find” on TCM was _Sh! The Octopus!_ A very goofy way to kill an hour. And now that I’ve see that movie once, I’ll never need to see it again. Even Robert Osborne’s commentary can’t make it make sense. [QUOTE=bbs2k] Oh, PS, I think I just had an earthquake. WTF! It’s Boston! [/QUOTE] Yeah, and? We had frost on the windshield this morning. WTF! It’s San Francisco! Sounds like some weatherman dropped the map and got everything all scrambled. Page 2 and it’s only 9 AM? Eek… Oh booger… wrong thread… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-misspent-youth-the-mmp/442515.md?page=30)
