My Misspent Youth - the MMP

Awwww, poor Silly. Neutering is the term you’re looking for, SO.

I’ve got you down for April 7, SmartyPants.

I’ve emptied 1 1/2 cupboards, am re-lining and reorganizing. Spices, extracts and baking things that aren’t stored elsewhere etc. are moving to over the microwave. I’m still trying to figure out where other stuff is moving to. Cupboard contents are currently located on the dining room table.

I own an embarrassing amount and variety of tea.

GT

Wedgies are gay? :stuck_out_tongue: rigs. Would that make noogies bi? There’s so much to learn!

Ok, after church today there was a little reception in honor of a 55th wedding anniversary. Thus, there was punch, cake and nibble stuff. I was in charge of making and guarding the adult punch. Champagne punch… mmmmm… Nuttin’ to it either. A gallon of oj, a two liter bottle of ginger ale and two bottles of champagne. Plop in an ice ring (which is apparently some kind of law wrt punch in the southern USof A anyways cause there’s always an ice ring) and Voila! I had one kid get upset with me cause I wouldn’t give her any. I told her it was adult flavored punch, which made her giggle so I got forgiven. There was kid flavored punch also. It ain’t like we let the little ones and non-imbibers go punchless. That would not be nice.

I gotta come up with a MMP don’t I? Oh my! Whatever shall I do? Shall I post it tonight before beddy bye so the night shift can play? So many decisions!

Tea party at GT’s place everybody!! :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

Well, I’m up from an attempted nap. I didn’t really sleep, but that’s ok. Now I’m working on payroll and getting ready to leave TVLand until Wednesday.

I adore him, too!

I am home. Apparently the traffic gods were with both going up and coming home - very few traffic snarls and the ones I did hit were shortlived. However, I am exhausted and will save tales of the trip for the new MMP - which will also give me time to get the throwaway camera developed and my digi-pics uploaded.

Just

I have no idea how to take that…:dubious:

Oh - before I go - two weird dream like things this morning - in the first, people kept coming in to my hotel room, even tho the DND sign was on the handle, and even tho I had not yet checked out. I kept screaming at them “I HAVE TIL NOON” over and over and in the dream I took a deep breath and shouted “I HAVE TIL NOON!!” - aloud and woke myself up. I fell back asleep and dreamed some mundane stuff after which I left the building I was in and went to where I had parked my car, but it was gone (this is a recurring theme in my dreams). I looked around the parking lot, and saw a Mini Cooper at the far end. I saw the driver duck down and a young girl (played by the gal who’s starring in Juno - she hosted SNL last night so her face was fresh in my brain) came over to me. In my dream I knew she was the daughter of a guy I had been seeing. She asked me some silly questions, like what kind of pasta goes best with a rainstorm, but she didn’t like any of my answers. It was all her way of testing to see if I was truly compatable with her dad. He’;d been watching the whole thing from the Mini Cooper and he got out and ran over shouting “It doesn’t matter, honey, I love her anyway” and embraced me and then I woke up. again.

Well. In spite of the five cups of coffee I ahd to stay awake on the trip home, I am going to sleep now. See you later, or more likely, in the new MMP. G’night

I get the biggest kick out of the Planters Cashews commercial. I know it was a Stooper Bowl commercial, but still, 'tis funnneee! Thus, cause I’m such a nice person dammit, I link to it so’s our non Amurrkin mumpers can share in the joy.

Oh, and I have a MMP all worked up. I’ve been productive!

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!

Kai, what a cute pic of baby Tea! {{{{{hugs}}}}} for you and will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Swampy, I think Rigs was referring to the hair-pulling as fighting gay. Just a guess, mind you. :wink: FCM is going to be disappointed in you all, you know. laughs That’s how my parents would get me the most, when they told me how -disappointed- they were in me - the. worst. punishment. Well, except for that switch my Dad used sometimes, that is! :eek:

My friend’s baby is doing better, but will probably be in the hospital another week or so. Please keep him in your prayers.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m really looking forward to seeing Rosie’s pics! :slight_smile: And woo hoo to getting up and back safely, Rosie.

I ain’t skeered of MOOOOOOM! What’s she gonna do? Give me the look? Put me on the list? Call me poopy head? Besides, she’s old, six months and six days older than me. It’d take her a couple of hours to remember what I did and by that time one of y’all will have done sump’n else. So There! :stuck_out_tongue:

Ahem - looks like I logged in just in time… :stuck_out_tongue:

Greetings from Orlando. I just got this computer up and running - it’s amazing how well it works with a proper cable connection.

I’m now going to go back and read the thread and find out why a certain **bear ** ain’t askeered of me. Oh yes, I shall find out what is afoot…

Ah, go chug some Geritol! :stuck_out_tongue:

Wow, she must really be old.

Hey mom, a foot is that thing at the end of your leg.

We’ve been purtifying the front yard all weekend. Look at my whiskey barrel full of flahrs! And my hanging basket of purty petunias! I feel sorry for y’all in the great white north. It is definitely spring here in Houston.

I’ll post some pictures later, if I can get them uploaded. I actually took some! Meatloaf is calling now, though…

I’m impressed! Rebo knows Meatloaf well enough he calls her even! What’s he up to these days? :smiley:

Ha! :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

I think I’m in love. I recently got PSE 6 for free, thanks to my mother in law, and since I got it for free I decided to get a Scott Kelby book on how to use it, tips and tricks and that kind of thing. The book arrived while we were out of town this weekend and I’ve spent the last three hours playing with PSE using the dirctions in the book. swoons My pics look awsome IMO.

I have a ton of pics to play with since I went with Mom and my lil sis and her friend to the St. Urho’s Day celebrations. It consistented of a 20 minute parade, essentially, lol. But I managed to take about 100 pictures. Of course all of those won’t be edited or anything, but I’m having fun playing with them. :smiley:

Back to my geeky world of PSE now.

And I’m all caught up. No small feat, I assure you, as my daughter and future son-in-law are hosting a Pay Per View Rasslin’ party. They’re all out in the living room yelling like they believe it’s a real fight or something. :rolleyes:

So, yesterday was a long day on the road - almost 12 hours. But the drive was mostly uneventful - and I was glad I wasn’t northbound on 95 in Georgia - it was a parking lot for most of the state. I got to Betty and Dave’s house around 5 and we shared a yummy meal and a lot of catching up before I collapsed into their very comfy guest bed.

This morning, another friend came over and we all had breakfast and chatted for a few hours until my kid called asking where I was. I got to Orlando shortly after 3. I took her out to eat, then came home and set up this computer, futzing with it way too long before discovering the reason I didn’t have an internet connection was that the cable was bad. So I’m connected and I don’t have to sit in the living room fighting the snark. I mean really - PPV Rasslin’?!?!?

Tomorrow is cake-orderin’ and Puggy-meetin’ and hall-visitin’ and tablecloth-buyin’ and whatever else comes up. Tuesday, they’re going to get their license and I’m going to start packing/repacking some of the boxes in the garage. Thursday we go to Ocala. Somewhere in there, we might get to shop. We shall see.

At least I’m on line I can amuse myself as needed.

And I can send a warm personal message to **swampy ** and MBG. I could, but I won’t, because they’re being wiseacres. :stuck_out_tongue:

BusDude, glad to have you back…

I have a short tale tomorrow that has 0 to do with fire and rescue.

You say this as if you’re surprised! :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, why is it that I95 and I75 northbound through Jawja turn into a parking lot pretty much every Saturday and Sunday? I mean just how many folks are travelin’ out of Flahrdy every weekend? A really strange phenomenon that…

I’m just hoping the parking lot phenomenon doesn’t start till later in the day. I intend to be all the way thru the Peach State next Sat by 7:30 in the morning. We shall see. But I felt so sorry for those folks sitting there for miles and miles, burning up expensive gasoline and going nowhere…

I have determined that there is some kind of weird crack over the International Date Line. And I want some. Because this would make no sense without it.

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.

Oh, PS, I think I just had an earthquake. WTF! It’s Boston!
