Purim -- a drunk (but not Irish!) MMP

My whole SDMB is slow. I’m seriously still in “no new search” depression. I just print out some really good threads from Fathom and do my best to translate them at my work bench.

:: removes overly dramatic badge ::

:: dances, because I have boogie in my heart ::

And hugs for {{Taters}}.

Anti-hugs for }}}SDMB{{{*. :eek:

I just hosted a “Fill In The Blank” Feud, one of the questions was “slow as ____”; one of the answers to that questions was “the SDMB server”

A) My neck and upper chest itches fiercely and is covered in a nasty bright red rash.

B) I have to deal with morons on a regular basis and that annoys the crap outta me.

C) Those morons are being needlessly obstructionist which could cost us our funding.

D) Two million dollars is a LOT of money.

E) Even morons should be able to put it together that people have ended up in dumpsters for much less money than that.

F) MUST. NOT. SCRATCH. It will not help and if I give in it will just make me look like a leper zombie with a bad Proactiv habit.

G)rrrrrrrrr!

Gosh, I haven’t had a mosquito bite in quite some time.

:smiley:

Rosie: Hah!

I wish this was just a skeeter bite–I’m running a temperature and it’s brought up a rash on my neck which is fiercely horrible. Having a fever also makes my skin hurt all over so even the IDEA of scratching is repellent but oh-so-insidiously compelling…

I hate being sick… :frowning: And morons, I hate those even more.

Taters don’t you just hate it when doctors get all condescending, especially about menstrual cycles? It’s like they think we don’t live in these damned bodies or something, that we’re gonna be totally unaware of normal processes or something. In the meantime, I feel for your swollen extremities, that’s really unpleasant when you feel like your feet are about to explode or something, bleargh. Hey, alcohol’s a diuretic, perhaps a couple shots of vodka would help!

points large caliber pistol at self “SAY ‘OR SOMETHING’ AGAIN, MOTHERFUCKER!”

I plead illness… I’m vaguely deranged and the morons are apparently contagious.

The MMP is about +35 posts from last weeks mark (we only had 315 by the time I made my usual late-night post). This surprised me, seeing how I thought that the general traffic to the SDMB was down. The lack of the search function makes this place seem much less busy, but apparently at least the MMP is still healthy*.
*Once again, of course, this is only bad news for yours truly.

Ivory… when you’re finished with that [del]hitman[/del] persuasion expert working on you for that Chair Election, I think I have a job for him? :wink:

Cutie – nice menu, but not tempting enough to make me consider getting married again (even if I legally could, that is…)

Taters – somehow missed your latest problems yesterday! :eek: If all the results are OK, I hope they can figure out something simple and mundane that happened here…

**Aleq **-- you should preview more. Or something.

Sorry for the “just friends” routine, Flower. But I’m sure you’ll find someone. Um… sexy, beautiful women… now there’s a quest I can get behind :smiley:

Yay for having a shower again, McUNE!

**Beebs **-- if you didn’t post so much this MMP wouldn’t be so successful :stuck_out_tongue: Jus’ sayin’ is all :smiley:

Me? Nothing to report. At work. TGIT!

Oh, yes… The Terrible Twins[sup]TM[/sup] went to school all dressed up today in their costumes. Purim. (Remember? From the OP…?) Celebrations at school are today, since they’re off tomorrow and Sunday (even though the holiday is actually tomorrow in Tel-Aviv, Saturday in Jerusalem. Don’t ask.)

Pictures were taken, and will hopefully be uploaded sometime during the tenure of the current Bush administration… :o

Missed edit window…

This should have been “working for you, on that Chair Election…” of course.

Also, yet another post to the MMP will piss Beebs off :stuck_out_tongue:

Morning all. Quiet morning - public holiday here, so my weekend has already started! :stuck_out_tongue:

{{{Taters}}} You could try eating watermelon or drinking watermelon juice - that’s another natural diuretic! Congrats on your daughter’s college acceptance!

I got nuffin’ else!

Oh, we’re writing posts to piss **beebs ** off?

Well then, I guess I can oblige.

Nope. Na-ah. Not at all. Absolutely not!

(Please admire my restraint in deciding against making this 4 separate posts! :p)

I talked to my client last night. Apparently that price is too high. :rolleyes: She didn’t come right out and say that, but it’s a feeling that I got. I emailed her my proposal and I imagine that I’ll be revising it in the next couple days. In my defense, I* told * her that appetizers would be more expensive than just a nice simple meal.

Huh. Never would have thought that you’d have restraint. :smiley:

Yeah… I was a little afraid to respond the first time! :eek:

Maybe you should preview more? Just sayin’ :slight_smile:

So where should I send “our little friend” to meet you?

Post pics of the kiddos in costume! When I was in Israel amy moons ago, it was during Purim and the the neighborhood my cousins lived in had all these kids running around in costume. It was the first time I realized that Jewish culture could be the default culture somewhere! So post pics!

Good morning MMP!

I thought we were moving faster than usual. Maybe because we’re always on the front page so no searching is necessary?

Your menu sounds really good, Pie. I thought the price sounded quite reasonable (but what do I know…?). I imagine the part where it’s family makes things harder.

Need to get ready for work. I’m hoping to be able to leave after lunch…(Please please please!!!)
