Howdy Y’all! We procured and stowed provisions and proceeded to sloth around the rest of the day. We had an early sup and there are leftovers for Firday’s sup. Tomorrow is eat out day after my doc’s appointment. Thus are things here in swampland. **verwitt** when I get overwhelmed with stuff I am reminded of [St. Julian of Norwich](https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=dZjLbeia&id=A41C411629BA310A8EB3D51465EB1CBE9F0037D8&thid=OIP.dZjLbeia5mVT0vscGuzvUwHaEK&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fquotefancy.com%2fmedia%2fwallpaper%2f3840x2160%2f4687311-Julian-of-Norwich-Quote-All-shall-be-well-and-all-shall-be-well.jpg&cdnurl=https%3a%2f%2fth.bing.com%2fth%2fid%2fR.7598cb6de89ae66553d2fb1c1aecef53%3frik%3d2DcAn74c62UU1Q%26pid%3dImgRaw%26r%3d0&exph=2160&expw=3840&q=st+julian+of+norwich+all+will+be+well&simid=608040895916752825&FORM=IRPRST&ck=931FAF9B1349AF603C319C8AB4E75A84&selectedIndex=9&itb=0&ajaxhist=0&ajaxserp=0).

And yes, y’all will git 'e done. **Coppertone** glad the antibiotics are workin’ for ya. **WetOne** start the band.

> [@Kitten\_Mitten](#): > > What major league team is the Indy AAA team affiliated to? Cleveland? Good question; I had to look it up. Turns out they’re currently a Pittsburgh Pirates affiliate. They were affiliated with Cleveland for a few years back in the ‘50s. They’ve also been a Cincinnati Reds franchise multiple times, the White Sox twice, the Boston Braves, the Pirates a different time, and the Phillies, Expos, and Brewers. They’ve been the “Indians” all along (since 1902, long before minor league teams had direct affiliations to MLB teams), and I’m not aware of any calls for them to change the name. ---

How is your Hubs doing? Is he getting any strength back? The Chapmanville place is almost two hours away from most of his close family, he’s got nieces and nephews all over the state. The other place was much closer, but all of his close family are as old as we are or older. Hubs was the youngest of his generation. Being closer to younger relatives could be useful. I had pretty much talked myself out of the over-decorated place with the windy road, we are too old for that sort of thing anymore but hubs still wanted the acreage and tractor. Then he walked in and the ceilings are too low. He could reach over his head and touch them and he kept feeling like he needed to duck. He’s going to make an offer on the Chapmanville place tomorrow, pending inspection. He’s the sort of buyer who walks in with a flashlight and a list, he gave it a good going-over and really likes it. I think its lovely and that the kitchen would work much better than the one with the stove in a box. I’ve had a oven mounted in the wall before and I like it much better than the traditional ones. We will have to have a dishwasher installed and all of the appliances are pretty dated so will probably need to be replaced in the next five years. I do like it a bunch…except it is bigger than what we have now and stuff happens. ---

Allie is much too refined for that sort of nonsense. > [@LH75](#): > > Is that a church next door? That was my first thought when I saw it too, LOL!!! Nope, that’s a home. I wouldn’t have any problem with it being a church, they tend to be pretty quiet and well maintained. Hubs would get grumpy because we would be parked in on Sundays, but we are retired and we are heathens. We don’t need to go anywhere on Sundays so what does it matter if a few people park in our driveway once a week. So, I’ve got some shrimp stuffed poblano peppers in the oven. I only made half the recipe because I don’t think they can be successfully frozen. The peppers should last for another week, so hopefully I’ll be able to use them for something Hubs likes when he gets home. Everything grows in WV, so I should be able to grow my own peppers in the back yard. ---

I ordered Mexican online once, only to find out that I ordered from a place 60 miles away. Another time, I went to pick up Chinese takeout and had a flat tire. Stuff happens. Back to flashing today. My hopefully new boss (she’s currently my senior lead) gave permission to resume cartonizing anything my partner or I flash (IB decided that once that contract became its own department, that they needed to take that over, totally upsetting the balance of our irk). Nelson and Lupito across the fence sucessfully defended the neighbor kid and I from Bella, the old dog two doors down (small terrier mixes think they’re big dogs sometimes) this afternoon.

I only walked 4 miles today, but it was sunny, and I felt almost sick with fatigue. Sunshine is not good for people with lupus, but I’m still in remission (I think. I hope.) I’ll get a bonus visit from my daughter on May 1st. Her hubs has to be in town for work, so she’s going to take vacation days she needs to use and come along. They’ll only be here one day, but I take what I can get. It’s shot day, but she said she’d be happy to come along. Speaking of shots…I used to have to get one in each arm, but Xolair now comes in a stronger dose, so I only need to get poked once. I know you’ve been wondering. 🙂 I started replying to posts yesterday, but I never finished. Geez, **nellie** … **Cookie** , I are a idiot. I forgot that you’re a top-notch genealogist. Sorry about that! > [@pullin](#): > > I’m starting to dislike the phrase: “OK… don’t blink.” Same. I once had an ophthalmologist accidentally nick my eyelid with the scalpel he was using to remove corneal stitches, and I’ve been wary ever since. They do have a gizmo to hold the eye open, but maybe it gets in the way. Hope your procedures are a piece of cake and that the swollen retina calms down! > [@scareyfaerie](#): > > Naturally, I have mine set up for maximum profanity because it amuses me Us, too! > [@Die\_Capacitrix](#): > > called cool American Doritos outside the U.S. Hey, they named a type of Doritos after the coolest of American bears, **@swampbear**! I wonder why they stopped selling them there. The US isn’t exactly popular these days.

Just curious. I made mud pies, but, I’m ashamed to say, refused to dig too deep because “There are BUGS down there!” While I’m sure you could have made a mean mud pie, I imagine you building little dams and locks and things. Roxie looks more and more like you, I think. **flyboy** , I’m sorry about the crown. Yikes. **doggio** , the clipped ear makes Spot look more badass. Why do I feel like he needs a gold hoop earring?

I’m a member of that club, too. A former boyfriend told me something that has helped me a LOT: It makes more sense to focus on the probables. If I’m worried about my kids driving over the snowy pass, for instance, I focus on the fact that thousands of cars go over that pass in iffy weather, and 99.99% of them make it just fine. Somehow it helps me to know that it’s really unlikely the bad thing would happen. I’d better go back to reading posts. ---

Yes, I know it might cost a bit more and that they might try to upsell about 25,000 other things, however, there’s a chance that they might be right about 1 or 2 things that a little independent LOF place wouldn’t even think to check.

Between me being gone most of the day and lots of moving around with the unloading of my school stuff, and then a really, really bad thunderstorm, I am happy she’s as calm as she is. Maybe I can take a page out of her book and chill until it’s time for me to go pick up MusicMan. ---

Hi ya’ll This is another busy week. Middle school and high school kids take up time. Because I work less than full time hours but my wife’s work is busy, I’m doing most of the cooking and lots of the housework. Many things to do. I have a stress disorder and it takes a lot of work to keep things going smoothly. Fortunately, things are getting better lately. Sorry I can’t reply more. ---
