[QUOTE=Most Creative User Name Ever] While at Menards I picked up some seeds and stuff for a veggie garden. I have decided that I’m going to attempt a small garden this year. This could actually be interesting, because I tend to kill more than I can grow. Though in my defense I have never really tried to do much on my own. I’m looking forward to it. Best part was that all of the seeds were 65% off! Can’t beat that price. [/QUOTE] If the stupid weather would STOP DROPPING BELOW ZERO I could start planting some stuff as well. Grumble. At least the snow is melting. God willing, it’ll be the last snow for a long while. ETA: Zero = freezing, is what I meant. Old habits die hard. ---

Here **Taters** have some animal crackers and apple juice. What? You said you wanted a pre-nap snack. I just happen to have both animal crackers and apple juice. I like animal crackers. I also like mixin’ apple and grape juice together. **BioTigs** yes it is Community Coffee. I have no idea why I want to call it Community House. It’s one of my weirdnesses one just has to come to terms with and love. 😃 Supper is et. Steak ‘n shrimp, sallit, steamed asparagus with some lemon butter and garlic bread. We’s stuffed! While we were suppin’ ol’ y’all know who told me that some of his co-workers told him that I spoil him. I agreed. He’s spoiled. Seems it was decided he’s spoiled cause he brings stuff to work for lunch that I’ve made, i.e. leftovers and they always look and smell good. Thus he’s spoiled. Yep. And I did it. That’s ok though. I get muchly “appreciated” for it. 😉 His rotteness is not goin’ to Easter Vigil tomorrow morning however. His comment to me was try not to wake him up while I’m gettin’ ready. Now I wish I had huge flood lights in the bedroom. ---

**Swampy** , as was mentioned in another thread somewhere, I think you should call in the local high school band to practice in your house tomorrow morning. 😃 That’ll larn your sweetums to not go to church with you! Thanks for the cracker, BTW. They hit the spot. ---

**Haze** I can’t start planting yet. It’s still freaking snowing out! (I’m in MN.) But at least I have the stuff so I can start planting when it’s warm enough. I am going to start a couple things in the house in containers. We will see how it goes, lol. ---

**Haze–** for the same reason they say “hari-kari.” :rolleyes: I’ve given up trying to pronounce Japanese correctly around Americans, it just gets them irritated. I refuse to give in on Spanish, though, with as many native speakers around as there are people oughta know better! Hey, I done posted a [blog entry on MySpace](http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog&Mytoken=47EBEB2B-98C5-4EE6-8FAB9822B822D0A355178435) about the Obama speech thing–feel free to read it or any of my other maunderings and I promise I’ll shut the hell up about it, 'kay? Gah, I am totally hungry but have nothing that sounds good in the house. I hate it when that happens. **beebs, Pie,** get a room already, sheesh! **“Secret Argent Man”** made me giggle, and now I have THAT song stuck in my head, great… Too much PMS in here, guess that menstrual synchrony thing is for real! Better run before I catch it, eek! **swampy,** I got two words “Dutch Oven.” You’re welcome! Be sure to eat your hard boiled Easter eggs a day early for the very bestest effect. Didn’t somebody say “snacks?” I see no snacks here and I am mightily displeased. ---

[QUOTE=SpazCat] It’s not too late to go out and get an airhorn alarm clock! [/QUOTE] OOOOOOH! I like it! Hee… Dutch Oven! There’s an awful lot of evilness in here. One more reason to love Mumpers! 😃 OK, I gotta decide on clothing to wear in the mornin’. No way am I gettin’ up at 4:30 A.M. and choosing an outfit. I shudder to think what I’d come up with. Plaids with stripes or a brown belt with black slacks or sump’n even more horrible. :eek: ---

I’m all clean and fed and dressed in grubbies - except for a little laundry, I’m doing nothing. Dessert was ibuprofen - I’m achy! I may need some medicinal kahlua later, too. I’m thinking I’ll sleep extremely well tonight. ---

The head is _finally_ settling down. It’s about #\*&@$ time, I hasten to add. Stoopid head. **Swampy** , if you have animal crackers, you know you have to save certain ones for **Hal Briston**. _::whistles innocently::_ I really should be working. I am seriously non-motivated. So I’m eating mini malted milk eggs instead. Yum, malted milk eggs! I love Easter time just so I can indulge my obsession. And I like the day after Easter even better when I can go buy up bunches and bunches of them at 50% off. 😃 We’re having another group nap? Or is it only **beebs** and **Pie**? They’re getting awfully frisky, aren’t they? ---

[QUOTE=SmartAleq] **“Secret Argent Man”** made me giggle, and now I have THAT song stuck in my head, great… [/QUOTE] People always get my name wrong as “Agent Towers” or “Argent Tower.” There are _two_ towers. (They have nothing to do with Lord of the Rings - I hate all those movies and I’ve never read any of the books - or anything else having to do with fantasy.) I don’t know why they’re called Argent Towers, but it’s Argent, not Agent. I’m not a secret agent. (They’re part of the same building, by the way.)\*\* Argent Towers.\*\* ---

Hello. Don’t feel well. Have spent the day making Easter goodies and watching the making of the LOTR (appendices). At least the sun came out late in the day. Had excellent, wonderful dreams last night–if only I could do that every night, I’d never wake again. ---

Hey guys…didja miss me? This is my first post to the MMP this week. I’ve been really busy, which is good. Just wanted to let you all know I haven’t forgotten about you, but I probably won’t be able to catch up on the thread this week. ☹ Hugs where needed. _Waves to **doggio** , **bobbio** , and **spazzy** _ ---

I just read something on the board that nauseates me. Usually, I’m like “whatever” and move on. This is just making me ill. Where does tolerance end and anarchy begin? Does everything “go”, just because it can? ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/purim-a-drunk-but-not-irish-mmp/441632.md?page=29) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/purim-a-drunk-but-not-irish-mmp/441632.md?page=31)
