My fridge is empty without beer, bacon, and eggs, and martini olives.
Up, caffeinated, off to irk.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis a muggy 71 degrees out and drizzly. Today’s predicted high is _only_ 83 Amurrkin but have no fear, back to the 90s by Thursday.
Ok that’s all I got. Haid is fuzzy due to stoopid allergies. I need more caffiene and should feed rumbly tummy. Then, alas and alack, it is an irkday so purtification must commence.
Happy Tuesday Y’all!

Drizzly morning in southern Merrylande, with more rain forecast thru the day. Naturally, my umbrellas are in my car which is in my garage. \*\*FCD \*\*doesn’t carry umbrellas in his car.
Nothing exciting going on - just another day or drawing lines with the computer…
Happy Tuesday. rah.

Bleu cheese stuffed martini olives no less! That’s what’s in my fridge. Martini, the drink that comes with a snack.
Feel better soon **Rosie**!

We need to stop doing favors for people. The brief synopsis is that just when you think a friend of a friend is a friend, you end up filing an assault report against them with the FBI for threatening you in writing across state lines.
As for the fridge, “empty” is a typical condition. At first, I was surprised to see how many people consider the presence of yogurt in determining the fullness of their fridge, but then I went to the store and saw that there are probably 500 different SKUs for yogurt when you count up all the brands, flavors, nationalities and no sugar/fat/lactose permutations. Popular stuff!

Still haven’t found my sweater, and _no_, it wasn’t in the fridge.
Last Saturday, I sang in my church’s POPs concert - a yearly fundraiser. Aside from the normal sturm and drang, I was stumped by something I have never encountered before: the performers were required to by tickets.
The rationale, repeated by others who’d been through this, was “it’s a fundraiser”. The lady who runs the whole thing is a fellow choir member with a lot of amateur/kids theater experience, and she gives off strange vibes. I cannot figure this woman out, and now I’m even more weirded out by her. Who the hell makes performers buy tickets when they’re already donating their time and talent?
Me? I didn’t buy a ticket, but then, I didn’t sit in and watch the other acts. No one approached me about it. I grumbled about it in the changing room, and everyone agreed with me but added that it wasn’t a big enough deal to protest. I think it’s because they’re afraid if they say something, they’ll be stuck with running the damn thing.

**phouka** , that director sounds like a serious weirdo. I have NEVER heard of requiring performers to buy tickets to their own performance or variety show. Strange.
**gotti** I hope you will be ok. Sounds like surrius bidness

Lunch! Yay!
Performers having to buy their own tickets? Even Disney doesn’t require that!! Sounds like the person running it is trying to have a record-setting fund or something. What a yutz!
\*\*gotti \*\*- can you share the rest of the story?? 'Cause, yanno, we’re all nosy and stuff.
That’s all I can manage for now. Gonna finish my yogurt and get back to drawing purdy pichers! 😃

I’ve probably already said more than enough, considering that the reports with the Feds and the local cops are still open.
I can say that sending someone a threat against their person or property in an email may be punished by an unspecified fine and up to five years in the federal pokey. Whether or not it will remains to be seen.
I’m curious to find out what happens at the perpetrator’s end - will they get a vaguely omimous letter in the mail from the FBI? Will the local police pay them a visit and say “Knock it off” or will they be taken in for questioning?
