Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
221

{{{MOOOOOOM}}} feel better. I agree about Christmas. I mean, I like it for what it is but all the hoopla I could do without it. I really wish I could just go to Christmas Eve services then go home (to da cave) and go to bed. Then spend Christmas Day watchin’ movies, surfin’ etc. I love my family and it’s good to go visit but I can do that other times durin’ the year as well. Hope you’re feelin’ better soon so you can enjoy home alone time.

Midget I agree! How could anybody mess up:

Jingle Bells
Batman Smells
Robin Laid an Egg
The Batmobile Lost a Wheel
And Joker got away

SHEESH! :smiley:

Evenin’ all,

End of stoopid course today, yay! Disappointed they didn’t get us mortar boards to throw in the air at the end though.

I don’t get to lie in long tomorrow though, I have to get up to take the meeces to their babysitter- I’m only away two full days, but she’s working a bit late sunday for me to drop them off after, and at work too early on the 24th for me to drop them off before, so they’re having a 4 day holiday.

They’re all cleaned out and ready, which means they’ll be rustling something awful all night, 'cos they hate the tank being tidy, and feel the need to rearrange everything at length. :smiley:

Dad’s present still hasn’t arrived.

Happy firday all!

223

It’s damned frightening; that was my first thought, too.
:eek:

224

I have a ton of pet sitting, well really only half a ton. It’s nothing compared to what it used to be.

I’ll have to work my customer service job too. At least I’m home for that.

225

The “magic” of holidays left for me when my Father died. I was sixteen. He was the elder brother, so we were Heir Apparent, Royalty if you will, at family gatherings. It wasn’t done on purpose, but I felt like a second class citizen without him at those things.

I aced an electronics test in graduate school many years later. I thought of how glad he would be when I told him, and cried in the classroom. :slight_smile:

226

I’ve had Fin du Monde beer here. Good times.

227

Hugs to all.

I will be working through the holidays (though to my surprise my chief just insisted I take New Year’s Day off) but it’s all good.

Life could be so much harder, even when it sucks. I know that is little comfort when it gets hard, but it’s true. I know I won’t see my kids during the holidays but I will see them soon. I have no-one at home but the calm is wonderful. The job isn’t perfect but I have one.

Folks, a week ago now I was speeding North to visit a little hell on earth. Still I am convinced the good outweighs the bad, the future will be amazing and in the end it will be worth it.

I enjoy studying history and I am almost universally drawn to the conclusion that even as crazy as it gets now is still an amazing time to be alive.

228

Cool!

Er, what sort of place do you work?

229

USPS.

230

Ethi works at an Iludium Q36 Space Modulator factory. :smiley:

231

Cool indeed, but you verge on annoying The Twickster.
You watch your ass.
:dubious:

232

I have OYKW to do that for me. :smiley:

233

I just tried to type the word “pensive” and my fingers tried to type something else (transposing the letters S and I.) Gee, my fingers must have a dirty mind.

234

You mean penis almost ensued?

235

Jesus Chr…your pardon, Rosie, I mean, Moses and Aaron on a stick!

Murph, blurph, glurph.

Acorn squash and other stuff Observant Jews don’t eat for dinner.
We brought the cats out to play, and Mrs. Plant v.3.0 had Penny, my rescue mostly wire haired dachshund, on her leash. Penny spent most of the time being beserk or in another room. She got along well with DIL v.2.0’s cat, but she apparently thinks that Perseus and Ginny are squirrels.

What’s his name didn’t show up after Mincha.
Maybe he’s Protestant, or something.

Dammit, Rosie, I want a BRICKBAT, not a FRUITBAT to put in the hat.
Do you want a foot rub, or not?

The fruitbat is eating stuff out of my sock drawer, dammit!

236

I offered him an apple and a banana, but he said, “I never drink…wine.”
This is getting freaky, Rosie.

He doesn’t seem deterred by Magen Davids, either.

:eek:

237

So your fingers wanted a penis?
How you doin?

238

One would imagine that you make out like a bandit at bars.

:rolleyes:

239

Is shameless self-promotion allowed in the MMP threads? How about shameful self-promotion?

I ask, because I recorded a piece of music I wrote, and I was wondering if I could share it. Here it is: Humoresque - YouTube

Yep, that’s me playing the bass clarinet.

Irking at the Otro Casa de Rock, headliner is about to go on. Amazingly good crowd for a local show, possibly Houston is making a comeback as a music town. One can hope…

Midget of course you can self promote, we blather on about all sorts of things

You all may remember my posting about the girl who had a series of strokes from Kush, Docs removed her from life support but she kept breathing on her own. Against all odds she woke up Wednesday, she is a mess but she will live. Tommy is freaked, he planned a funeral got a daughter back. I know she is talking and needs a bunch of rehab not much else. Will keep you posted

So there a little Holiday joy, enjoy

Jim
