Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’!

Nuttin’ much else to say. Hope all those with medical problems and whatnot are better soon.

Ok, rumbly tummy demands brekkies, so I shall forage.

Later Y’all!

Totally missed saying how sorry I was about your knee, rosie. Hope it gets better quickly. (Is it possible that the shots will help it heal more quickly?)

Gotta get out and water plants. Woo hoo.

Hugs to all…

I’m extremely grumpy today. That is all.

Today is my grandma’s 80th birthday today! (She’s the coolest grandma in the world!!):D:D:D:cool::cool:

Happy birthday GramPie!

Morning all! Hugs to all who need them. I’m not sure my treatment took yesterday. It was the worst one yet. That’s all Imma say about that.

Count me among those TAHRED of the Michael Jackson farewell. For heaven’s sake, it hasn’t been all that long since he’s been reviled as a pedophile. Let’s just call it what it is…a train wreck we all must look at.

Today I’m going to attack my closet. Yep, clothes and shoes have been breeding in there and have gotten out of control. It’s time to give some of it the heave ho.

That’s all I got for now.

Tupug

Noooooo, never.

Yesterday would have been my parents’ 45th wedding anniversary. Dad’s sister called Mom, they had a good chat although there were tears involved.

We’re going to Sanfermines on Friday, may be spending the weekend at my house.

Will you be running? :dubious:

:stuck_out_tongue:

Good morning! I’m feeling much better today. :smiley:

I hope all the medical problems with everybody heal and/or get resolved very quickly!

I watched a bit of Dateline last night with the recap, but I had to turn it off when Rev. Sharpton was being interviewed. UGH! I’m sorry, I just can’t stand that guy.

I have a bit of work to do today. Yay! It’s boring to surf the net all day long. :wink:

Later!

I caught a bit of the Wacko Circus on the news this morning, I had to change channels before it made me all stabby.

In other news, I’ve just had my hair cut. I feel all sleek and gorgeous now. And it’s Wednesday so that means I’m going to the pub tonight.

Hope the sickies are feeling better soon. And who said Swampy was gay? I’d never have believed it!

Morning all - up and caffeinating this morning; right now with Irish Breakfast tea.

Is it true, Nava, you’re going to run alongside those bulls?! I thought they were in Pampliona?! Or did BBBBobbio just make me think that, bad boy that he is. :smiley:

Continuing to send good thoughts and prayers to anyone in need, esp. keeping FCM’s FIL in mind.

Happy mid-week day all.

Nah, I won’t be running. I’ve only ran a few times and only with cows and calves. Plus, at me creaky old age wobble wobble people aren’t supposed to be running any more.

Wonder if I can throw Mom into the ring…
I just did my taxes for the last quarter. Result: the guvmint’s page says I have to pay, and not a small amount (almost as much as I paid last quarter, which is the one all my income for this year so far comes from). So I wrote to them asking what gives, since I’ve had income of zero with zero plus minus zero. If I have to pay that much every quarter, my taxes for this year would come up to about 95%, which I’m reasonably sure is not legal.

I thought you only went to the pub on days that have a ‘y’ in their name.

It’s a common mistake! We only go to the pub on Wednesday apart from this week when we’re going on Saturday as well because it’s Jeff’s birthday drinks. The rest of the days with a ‘y’ in them, you’ll find me slumped in the corner with a bottle of vodka. I can see how you could confuse the two!

sun is out - knee still aches

Afternoon all. One more day 'til I’m on holiday for 2 weeks! Wheeeeeee! And, since I managed to get a great deal with Emirates for flights and hotel (Kids Go Free offer for summer), we are all booked to stay here for 3 nights the week after next! :smiley:

In other, less happy news, I got a text message this morning from my father to say that he’s been in hospital most of this week. He has a laparoscopic procedure done in May to remove his gall bladder. Unfortunately, they didn’t notice at the time that 2 small gallstones had already moved into his bile duct. Those 2 itty-bitty stones have since been acting up, so dear old Dad went back to the hospital on Sunday, feeling rather cruddy. He was discharged earlier today with stones still intact, but will likely have to go back next week to have them removed. Why they didn’t just keep him in and blast them with the ultrasonic thingamabob I don’t know!

{{{FCM and FCD}}} Saying my prayers that FIL will pull through okay.

And as for MJ, now that he is (mostly) in the ground, can we all move on from the 24-7 biopic approach to the Elvis-style sightings every now and then! Pretty please!

I’m incredibly jealous, dotty! That place looks gorgeous.

It suddenly got busy at work today. I thought it’d be quiet since Manager’s out for the rest of the week. But that’s not happening. Oh well. It’ll make the day go faster.

Just when I get over my grumpiness from this morning, I find out VWife has brought home yet another cat (#6), and I’m expected to buy her kitten milk replacement and stop by the rescue station to get her a syringe to use in feeding.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Well, I’m here in the ER with my mom. She’s having intense pain in her left foot. This is the one that she has had multiple surgeries on.

At this point in time, I’m in the waiting room as I got mad and walked out of the patient area. The last time that she was in the hospital there was a lot of trouble with the drugs that they gave her. I’m not exactly clear which the problem ones were but there’s one in particular which I think was a problem. She told them to go ahead and give it to her without even looking it up in her record. This is because she doesn’t ever remember taking it before or having a problem. Um, is that like she also doesn’t remember my 3 cousins coming from NC and visiting after the surgery either? Yeah, I really think it’s a good idea to trust her memory over mine. :rolleyes:

Howdy Y’all! My back porch is finally put together again. It finally got pressure washed today. When I got home, I changed into grubbies and drug everything back on the porch. It’s so nice to have all the furniture back in place. Of course, bein’ as I’m gay (what? y’all didn’t know? :stuck_out_tongue: ), I had to rearrange it all. After all one can’t just have it one way all the time now can one?

dotty that place looks so jake! I wanna go! 'Cept I don’t wanna travel that far so I guess I can’t.

BBBobbio I suggest gettin’ the milk and the syringe, droppin’ ‘em both in VWife’s lap and sayin’, “have at it!”

Puggy feel better! Also, when you’re done, would you mind poppin’ in and cleanin’ out my closet? kthanxbye!

CutiePie hope mom is ok! Oh and Happy Birthday GramPie!
