Yoga has been yoga’d 🧘‍♀️, dinner has been dined 🍽, and after dinner lounging has commenced. We used leftover flank steak to make steak quesadillas. We have one more prepped and in the fridge for when **Squeaky** come home. **Swampy** - Total jerkhood isn’t in my nature. I have the capacity for it in bucketloads, but since I don’t like it when people are jerks to me… > [@LH75](#): > > Many of the old timers here will remember Eve Golden… I remember Eve.

Eek! I’m so sorry for the dog’s behavior. **Swampy,** many are the times I read your description of your RDOS time at home and think, that sounds _really_ appealing. I am about to eat a box o’ mac and cheese. Hey, I’m recuperating. ---

I’m compiling my April posts and came across this one: > [@(Old) A Day Off in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-a-day-off-in-the-mmp/1029239/190): > > > [@(Old) A Day Off in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-a-day-off-in-the-mmp/1029239/186): > > > > Bleach and hair thinning shears. > > My. God. That’s just crazy enough to work. I have to laugh. I needed my kamado pot to get as hot as possible to give my flank steak that has been in the sous vide a quick sear, so I’d used a hair dryer to blow into the intake vent for a couple of minutes. My right arm is now bald after opening it. ---

Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to heave. It’s 47 degrees Ferret Height(8.333 Centipedes) outside. Spot is yeeting ducks off my desk. ---

My dad was VERY worried that he might use the wrong name with our friend. My dad has known this person since they were 4 years old. After meeting them after transitioning, my dad never worried about using the wrong name. The new name fits so much better.
