Good greets, folks! It’s 28F, with a bit of snow out there, heading to a high of 42F later. NPR news is playing the Sunday Puzzle. The caller was quick, and I didn’t get any of the answers before she did. Oh, well. Hey, It’s Pester-The-Innocent-Rodents Day! Never a big deal on my calendar, but some folks get into that stuff. Be well, do stuff, and be kind. ---

Good morning all. Have been out and acquired the Sunday NY Times, was also going to grab a 1/2 gallon of skim milk, but the use-by dates on them were 3-5 February and i don’t use milk that fast. So maybe peek at Wal-Mart later and see if theirs has a better shelf-life. Will be heading to Olive Garden in a couple of hours for a carbohydrate blowout, then maybe do walkies at the gym but otherwise just a quite day. Temperature is 46F and supposed to get near 70 today, so that will be nice. > [@SuntanLotion](#): > > Woke up after a weirdass dream where I was pregnant.

I think I have the rest, really need to go through the pile at my desk and sort things out (afternoon project). Hope your math works out. And I’ve had that ‘something doesn’t smell quite right’ too, which goes away after a bit, guess it is just our sinuses growing older like the rest of us. **Hippie** , hope the gym works out (heh) for you and your lady. I was a bit surprised at the cost for individual workouts, for 12 times a month it was $452, so I only have it for three months to see if it’s worth it. > [@AskNott](#): > > Oh, well.

Punxsutawney Phil won’t be seeing his shadow round here, it’s going to be mostly cloudy all day. It is 37F expected to become 60F. My lemon tree will go outside when it hits 50F. I’ve got it under a grow lamp but natural sun has got to be better. Last night, Jolene learned that if she chews on Hubs beard when he’s sleeping, he will push her away so now she has his arm to wrastle with and bite under the blankets. It was great fun for her but a total pain for us because we can’t lock her out unless we lock GG out and he just wails his lungs out when he can’t be in the same room as his hoomans.

> [@JaneDoe42](#): > > So my smile memory about Oklahoma is getting apologized out of a dispensary. Haha that’s a great story! It’s still medical only here, but it’s very easy to get a card if you live here. It’s a bit of a marijuana wild west honestly. Looking at a map, there are 13 dispensaries less than a mile from my house. There are hundreds across the city. I have no idea how they make money (they probably don’t, I imagine there’s a lot of money laundering or other nefarious things going on). I think my card is about to expire actually - I’ll set up a $25 virtual call with a doctor somewhere to get the medical form and then send everything in. I’m only an occasional user, but I keep a card just in case because if I ever were tested for work my job would be protected. > [@Die\_Capacitrix](#): > > As I am allergic, I’ll let you enjoy the pluses and minuses of having cats. Okay so hear me out - I’m also allergic to cats, but I stop being allergic to my particular cat once I’ve had them for about 6 weeks. And then my overall allergic reaction to cats in general is greatly decreased and barely notice any issues at all. I’m noticing the opposite now about dogs, which I am also allergic to. I didn’t get another dog when my sweet girl passed away about two years ago, and I’m noticing I’m reacting more and more strongly around other peoples dogs. ---

> [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > > [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > > > No fair teasing my about typos. > > You didn’t make any … ? Don’t look now but the ‘my’ above should have been ‘me’ (…teasing **me** about…). My distance vision is coming back more than my reading or up close vision, which makes sense since the artificial lens that was implanted corrects for distance but not medium or close. No correction for astigmatism in the artificial lens because that would have been an additional $4200 I didn’t have. I’m perfectly comfortable with glasses, I’ve worn them since I was 12. Even with the exorbitant toric lens I still would have had to wear glasses to correct for the vision syndrome from the TBI, so meh, mundane artificial lens for me it is. It is at least 4-6 weeks after the last surgery before the optometrist can prescribe new glasses. Til then I can wear my old prescription which overcorrects for distance but gives me some useful correction for medium and reading or the surgeon said I can go without glasses. TTFN-off to do a craft project with Harriet. ---

It’s snowing. Not much, but it’s accumulating on the too-loose canopy garage. I’d put some 2x4s up to help the water from pooling, and two fell down. Fortunately, they missed the MGB. I put them back up, but I’ll need to secure them. Sausages are cooked for ground hog day. They’re keeping warm in the oven until I fry the cackleberries. ---

_Started Typing: 11:30 AM ET Clicked Reply: 12:19 PM ET_ I thought I’d take a stab at compiling a current Mumper name list, in alphabetical order by nickname. 🙂 I know I’m missing the nicknames for **Aspenglow** (_it’s something about a tree, but I can’t think of it!_), **Baker** , **Bob\_Blaylock** , **Ellecram** , **scudsucker** , **SCAdian** , and **Taters** …what are they? And who else am I missing?? Once this seems to be complete – and if y’all agree – I’d be happy to see about getting [The MMP FAQ](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-mmp-faq/599358) updated. Here’s the list so far (my use of capitalization is inconsistent; also, while we do have nicknames for some SOs and other recurring characters I’ve only included Mumpers): - 52 - liirogue - BBBoo _or_ Boo - BippityBoppityBoo - boofae - scareyfaerie - catglove - Kitten\_Mitten - cookie - Chefguy - coppertone - SuntanLotion - dicey - Die\_Capacitrix - doggio - Dogbutler - dot - SurrenderDorothy - FCM - FairyChatMom - flyboy - Johnny\_L.A - godbod - CorpusNeptune - hippie - LH75 - JtC _or_ Jane the Cane - JaneDoe42 - knots - AskNott - lily - susan - metal mouse - The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat - nellie - nelliebly - nettie - Seanette - oopsie - misnomer - pilot - LSLGuy - piper - Northern\_Piper - realfish - TruePisces - red - missred - rocky - rocking\_chair - sari - Sahirrnee - shoe - purplehorseshoe - sticky buns - Sticks\_and\_Scones - swampy - swampbear - talky - overlyverbose - Van Gogh - Paintcharge - wet one - peedin Thanks to all who expressed condolences about my BFFs’ cat. 💙 The vet showed up 90+ minutes later than planned – a bit cruel to extend the wait, but I don’t know the reason – and a little while later WifeBFF sent me an “RIP Duke” text. I cried a few times yesterday, and gave Bailey some extra hugs. I sent them each “I’m so sorry; I love you” messages, and asked WifeBFF to let me know if I can bring some food over today. I’m not expecting to see them, though. Maybe next weekend. In other news, my taxes are done! Woo hoo! I have very simple taxes – just two W2s and a 1099-INT, with no dependents/deductions/credits/itemization/etc. – so I filed both fed and state for free via H&R Block, and they’ve already been accepted. I owe \<$200 combined, and both payments will be deducted from my savings account on 04/01. No reason to pay early and lose the pennies of interest I’ll earn in February and March. (😂) I’ve mentioned before that I’ll be attending a vocal jazz conference in June: it’s hosted by an online organization called JazzVoice, which I’ve known about for a while, and the other day I decided to go ahead and join up. They’re offering a virtual welcome/orientation this afternoon, and I’m registered. It’s my only real plan for the day, other than doing laundry. Oh! Except that I’m expecting a small Lego set to be delivered today. 😁 It’s a mini Death Star that was offered as a “gift with purchase” (GWP) for 2023’s Star Wars Day (May 4th). It’s less than 300 pieces, and will take hardly any time to put together – I might even be able to do it at the coffee table – but it’ll be easy to display and I’ll be happy to add it to my other _Star Wars_ sets. I’ve decided that my next big set will be the TIE fighter, but I don’t like the current GWP – offered through Friday – so I’m waiting to see what the next one is (I might not like _it_, either, but I won’t keep waiting). > [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > Had some glitches which are complicating things.

When I worked in San Antonio, training after about 2 yrs went on at the firm headquarters in Cleveland. From the guys, (I was the first female hired in that division), I heard how terrible it was so they always only stayed in the hotel or at the adjacent training building because otherwise they would have to go out amongst “the yankees”. Well first time I went to training in Cleveland, I had flown home and Dad let me use one of his very large cars to drive to Cleveland. Each day after training was over, I took the guys from SA and also others who could fit in (about 6 peeps in back seat-ladies sat on dudes laps- and 4 in front) to the track, out dancing, downtown to see the sights and sample the cuisine. They had the best time ever and when they got back to SA and told the other guys about what a great time we had, they were looked at oddly and threatened with men in white coats.
