Bon Voyage to **FCM** and **FCD.** Looks like the hurricanes have cleared out, so smooth sailing. Now need to stop at the store to obtain bread for putting various tasty items on it. ---

I hereby declare da cave to be spiffed! So mote it be! Chillage now ensues. **doggio** since Chickie boy has [del]been thrown into the eternal lake of fire[/del] shuffled off this mortal coil, the tracts have lost their edge. Besides a chickie track without fang is just not good. 😃 ---

Got a new commission. Actual money involved, Yay! I am retained to paint the school mascot on the new gym floor! Only problem I see is the time frame, but, I can be fast when needed! The mascot is a particular version of a animal, so I don’t have to design it, which makes it easy on my little pea-brain , I can really get bogged down by that stuff! So yay! Me! (~doing my happy dance~)!! ---

Afternoon all! Cleaning job has a coaster monitor- she’ll yell ‘STOP!’ at anyone about to put their drink down without one, then provide you with one. I can ask her if she’d like to fill in for Moooom, if you’d like? I’ve just had the last class of the first half term, and now I’m off until the 30th. I have basically no plans for the next week, though, it totally crept up on me. Got a few projects I can work on, but I can’t do a whole lot. Time to drink the student loan, I guess! ---

I think chick tracts would make good coasters. I used to find them a lot when I lived in Cali, not so much now in Orygun. Where was chick from again? The story lines were usually abysmal but I enjoyed the artwork. Last night I was getting ready to make a stir-fry and texting with Wifey and she suggested I get a pizza instead. I thought that was a fine idea, so today I ate leftover pizza for lunch and now I’m working on the leftover cinnamon bread twists. Yes, I know **Sunny** , domino’s pizza is teh evil, but I loves me some cinnamon bread twists, and they’re 2 blocks away. Walking distance, 'cept I drove cause I didn’t want to carry my dinner home in the monsoons. BTW, I like pineapple on my pizza. Sometimes when papa murphys has a special on a large pepperoni pizza for $7.00 I’ll get one and dump a can of pineapple tidbits on it before baking. 😃 Pretty soon it’ll be time to take strange candy from people. What do you’all do for Punkin day? ---

**Bumba** I would never have known if you hadn’t told. 😛 I would be willing to try their cinnamon bread sticks, in the spirit of fairness. **flytrap** pineapple is good on _some_ pizza. I’m not sure that pepperoni is on that list, however. ---

We have supped and all is well. I was goin’ to bake a cake tomorrow for Sattidy, but a friend who is comin’ on Sattidy called and graciously offered to bring two homemade apple pies. She makes goooooooooooooood apple pie so, YUM! I do not participate in candy beg night. Besides we don’t get trick or treaters out this way. The church is doin’ what is called “Trunk or Treat” the night before. People pass out candy, dress in costumes, and there’s games and little prizes and such. I do not participate. ---

Home from work, made a quick dinner, now off to Kilt Night. > [@EmilyG](#): > > My friend I mentioned was at last night’s rehearsal, and is fine. He said he’s off Facebook for the time being because he found he was wasting too much time on it. So things are good. 🙂 Yay!🙂 > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > Y’all sure you got that right, doggio? I would have done the exact opposite. I don’t take candy from Chickites, and **Flytrap**. 😛 And it’s not as good as the classics, but I like how Jesus turned the leper into popcorn. Congrats on the commission, **Ms. Rex**! **swampy** , I get no Trick or Treaters. Maybe something to do with Gordie violently warning them about The Invisible Mole People.😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/no-sleep-in-the-mmp/799032.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/no-sleep-in-the-mmp/799032.md?page=7)
