There is still residual pain in the toe ( and I only got thin slivers of the sides removed). Tomorrow my food stamps come in so grocery store will be glad to see me. I’m thinking frozen treats. And plums. It will warm to 70 tomorrow. Awaiting word that Church will pay my rent this month. ---

So they only called up to Jury candidate #271, and I was #285, so I won’t have an opportunity to taint the jury pool. But that wouldn’t have been the first pool I’ve tainted. 😉 Dinner tonight is poke loin, sweet potato, and sauteed green beans, onions, and bacon. And a Wisconsin Old Fashioned. > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > You sure we’re not clones?

Tired and heading to bed early, so this will be my late-night final. Have done little since the last missive except put in a bid for an upgraded cabin for my cruise (low-balled it but they have been advertising them for awhile now so what the heck, if I get it I get it and if I don’t the regular cabin is fine). Outside of that and making up next week’s agenda and the Moanday shopping list, have mostly sat and internetted’ the night away. **Cupcakes** , you couldn’t have known and your pastor undestands that; I suspect she’s heard it before you. **Cookie** , and yet you solve crosswords and the word games that often baffle me. Different strokes, I guess… **swampy** , > [@swampbear](#): > > I did not MST3K the service, but I did say “bring out your dead!” when the bell was tolled at the beginnin’. I’ll allow it… > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > > > **JtC** , I presume by free sugar you mean candy and maybe cotton candy, > > Cotton Candy, funnel cakes dredged through cinnamon and white sugar or with apple butter (one apple, half a cup of warm spices (cinnamon, allspice, ginger, etc), and two cups of brown sugar). Mountain Dew to wash it all down. Pardon my drooling… **flyboy** , so you got pricked by a giant weed…there is a Sci-FI/Horror movie in there somewhere… Happy shopping day, **Coppertone**. > [@dogbutler](#): > > > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > > > You sure we’re not clones? > > More like you are Zathras and I am Zathras. .but, at least there is symmetry! And off to Slumberland. Take care and I’ll catch all y’all on the next MMP. ---
