_Started Typing: 12:36 PM ET Clicked Reply: 2:28 PM ET_ I tried to start typing this post at 11:30am…work was supposed to be _quiet_ today, darnit! 😉 It’s currently 44°F and partly cloudy here 12 miles west of the White House, and quite breezy (with winds out of the NW gusting at 21 mph). It’s dry, though, so I’ll take it! Yesterday I swapped out my home computer’s keyboard and mouse, and I’m still adjusting to the new mouse: it tracks much faster – including much faster than the mouse I use for my work computers. I know I could adjust the settings, but I actually like the new tracking; just gotta get used to it. In the meantime I’m a little all over the place with my scrolling and clicking, and I feel like a newbie! 😂 Some catching up from the old thread before diving into this one… > [@(Old) When Mom's Away...A Coasterless MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-when-moms-away-a-coasterless-mmp/996477/327): > > What surprised me is: “Take all your dishes _today_ or I’ll drop them down the trash chute; I’d much rather eat off paper plates for a month until I find some new ones.” Ack, I totally missed the “get your s\*\*\* out right the f\*\*\* now” part. Yeah, not great. > [@(Old) When Mom's Away...A Coasterless MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-when-moms-away-a-coasterless-mmp/996477/337): > > My dry erase board is on the fridge, cause I’m not likely to forget to grab a beer. 🍺😉 Mine is on the fridge, too, but in my case it’s 'cause I’m not likely to forget to grab a protein shake or a Gatorade Zero. 😁 I also have a [desktop whiteboard](https://www.quartet.com/p/dry-erase-boards/desktop-glass-boards/desktop-glass-whiteboard-computer-pads/). I bought it for/used it at my previous job, and now it sits in front of my home computer. My colleagues liked it so much that the company wound up buying one for everyone in our organization! If I hadn’t been such a trailblazer I could have saved $35…ah well. 😉 > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Pulling into Wilhemina Bay for our first photo op this morning. Lots of icebergs of varying sizes and shapes floating by. Photos on Google are stunning; I can’t imagine what the views are like in person! > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > we’re finally gonna have an integrated online ordering system Woot!!! > [@scareyfaerie](#): > > In the meantime, I have a bunch of module options forms to construct. Might take me most of the week to do them all, but at least it keeps me out of mischief! Sometimes I like having tasks like that in front of me: nothing _too_ intellectually challenging, but I know they’ll keep me busy for a while (and they need to be done). > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > Not to put too fine a point on it OMG: I’ve had “[Birdhouse In Your Soul](https://youtu.be/vn_or9gEB6g?si=M-KFFl2ai8r4U0P0)” stuck in my head ever since I heard it on the radio last week, and that’s the part of the lyrics that keeps repeating!! 😂 > [@NinthAcolyte](#): > > I am relocated to South St. Paul and one-week deep into my fancy new managerial role Yay!! > [@TruePisces](#): > > After a big scare where I was calling family in to say good-bye, Dad’s turned the corner for the better.

Heh, tomorrow I have tattoo removal session #10. I started the process in May 2022: I knew it would take years (with 2-3 months between sessions), but I’m soooo ready for this tat to just be gone already! It’s super faded, but I definitely still need a few more sessions with the laser. Tomorrow I’ll ask the tech if he can guesstimate how much longer it’ll take; I’d really like to be done by the end of this year. Luckily I paid up front for a “complete removal” package, so I can go as many times as needed without paying any more. > [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Already shared with the OP on her FB post, but… LOL! > [@InternetLegend](#): > > I’ve lurked around the MMP threads for a good few weeks now, but they move so fast I’ve been a little shy about jumping in.
