Howdy Y’all! It’s been a large and in charge day for da bear. We went in separate vehicles cause I needed to be there before OYKW wanted to be and he was in charge of food transport. Then we had a service that lasted one hour and forty-five minutes. We don’t slack on All Saints Day! That was followed by a hyuuuuge first Sunday brunch. I think I ate all the things. Since it was almost one-thirty when all that was said and done, I decided to just stay as it didn’t seem worth it to go back to da cave for all of forty-five minutes or so. Instead, I went to Sam’s and gassed up (got right in and out even!) stopped at the Circle K sto’ for a big polar pop and went back to the church house. All that is within five miles of the church house. We had group and I also performed candle duty and other stuff since I was there. I will be headed to Diocesan convention on Thursday, so didn’t want to have to go over just for that on Thursday before leavin’. Since vehicle is all fed, I won’t be drivin’ it until Thursday. OYKW will provide transport until then. He’s gotta earn his keep somehow after all. Once back at da cave today, I changed into tshirt, jammy pants and slippers and watched some stoopid teevee. Now that I have read and responded to the MMP I shall see whatup on teh intartoobz for a bit and have an early bedtime cause I’s tahrd! **Hippie** I’m diggin’ on that quilt top. The pattern and the colors are awesome! **Nuts** I gather there will be a lot of fireworks on Thursday over your way. Are there also a lot of bonfires? **Cookie** I am so sorry for the loss of your pan. A good pan is a sad thing to lose. Hope you find a suitable replacement. **MetalMouse** we need to hit the OG soon. Haven’t been in a long time. I like the soup, sallit, and breadsticks thingy they do. I like other stuff as well, but that’s always been my favorite. You reminded me I have an umbrella in my vehicle. I need to take it out and put it where it stays. **Knotty** I get that same weekly summary of phone/screen time. I’m not sure if it’s proud of me or wants me to go outside and touch some grass. If my laptop did the same thing, I’m pretty sure it would tell me to go touch some grass. **Taters** I also use boneless chikin thighs when I make death chikin. I like that better than usin’ boobs. I agree about standard time. I wish it could just be left alone. **WetOne** Jekyll Island, Jawja is pronounced Jek Ill. I am disappointed we don’t have a Hyde Island. Seems only fair to me. **52** early mornin’ is usually a good time to go to Sam’s for gas. Sunday evenin’, which I did today, seems also to be a really good time. I won’t even consider afternoon or evenin’ durin’ the irk week. **Mollie** Chloè is without a doubt the keeyoootest little serial killer ever! Also, I approve of ice cream for dinner. **Herald** _Elvira_ is one of my favorite songs. I must sing along at the top of my voice much to the chagrin of anyone around me. I watch the game and may make mention of it to one or two friends. I do not want to talk endlessly about it, however. Priest and I gave each other a high five and a _WOOF_ as it has become our thang. **Oopsie** sorry you missed out on the candy beggars, but you earned major karma points. Hope Wife BFF’s foot isn’t hurt too bad. I swear the older I get, the more stuff finds a way to hurt. It is not selfish to want some downtime. You gotta take care of yourself and that’s as important as anything else. I’d join you for a Costco dawg or a Sam’s slice from time to time. Both are good. **MOOOOOOM** do please tell daughter the correct version is “get off my lawn, ya whippersnapper!” **Cookie** that sucks about the elevator and the van. Everybody should be able to get to the polls on election day! Management at your place seems to be made up of not bright folk. **shoe** death chikin is, AIUI, a midwestern USofA funeral food. I am sure it’s because it’s a casserole and can be made in mass quantities if needed. It’s also dang good! **Coppertone** sorry you got scammed. Hope you were’nt hurt to bad financially. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-a-spot-of-good-news-in-the-mmp/1034165)._
