Happy birthday, Bobbio!
That’s all I got. 
Happy birthday Bobbio!!
MOOOOOOM yay for no skin cancer! I’ve had one of those removed from my back. ICK!
Some way, some how a light bulb went off in this mornin’s problem child’s haid. She faxed over the info I needed. Problem solved. It could have been resolved four hours ago. :rolleyes:
The cleaning crew has arrived!! In aquarium speak, that means 100 hermit crabs and 100 snails. Naturally, FedEx showed up shortly after **FCD **left for a ride on his bike, so I get the honor of acclimating the critters. I’ve got them in a big bowl, and every 5 minutes, I pour a little water from the aquarium in with their water - the idea being they’ll gradually get used to our aquarium environment so when they get dumped into the tank, they won’t experience shock and die. Another hour to go, I think…
And I just finished making a calendar for **FCD **showing where we’ll be every day of the cruise and what times we’ll be out on tours. I’m not sure why he wanted all the tour details - if there should be an emergency, he could just call Princess Cruise Lines and they’d know where we were. But it makes him happy, so I did it. And I sent a copy to my sibs in case they care. 'Cause I’m nice, dammit.
These are cool. The tubing and clamp they give people fluids with in the hospital, and a J shaped pipe.
How large is the tank?
MOOOOOOM is dumpin’ escargo into the aquarium? 
Howdy from da cave! Yes, I am home. It was one of those hmmm… I could go twelve miles back to irk or four miles to da cave decisions. So I called [del]minion[/del] assistant and told her I was irkin’ from home for the next two hours. I also told her when she felt she was at a stoppin’ point she could vamoose as well.
Burgers for dindin tonight. Love me a good ol’ homemade grilled burger! I’ve got all the fixin’s and chips are here if desired. Easy and tasty, just the way I like my men.
**flytrap **- we’ve got an acclimation drip - I just didn’t feel like messing with it. When we’ve bought fish in the past, we’ve gone that route. But I figured for some crabs and snails, it wasn’t that big a deal. The main tank is 125 gallons. I think the sump is 50.
**swampy **- yeah, escargot. I accidentally dropped one in the clam - Clamzilla wasn’t happy. **FCD **managed to get it out.
Guess I should bring in the laundry.
I’m tahrd.
I spent the morning giving a three-hour training to drug and alcohol counselors who work in the state penal system about Al-Anon and why they should have meetings in their facilities. I got a LOT of compliments from the counselors about the awesome way I did it. Well, one of my character defects is attention whoring; I just use my powers for good.
Oh, and…
Happy birthday, Bobbio!
Burgers are grilled. OYKW is on his way. After we eat I shall force myself to go begin mowage of da yahd. It’s not gonna mow itself after all. Stoopid grass.
Rockin’, so one might say that today you rocked!
Escargot is not a bad thing to eat. The snail in and of itself is tasteless. However, the addition of butter, garlic, and parsley makes it quite tasty. Ok, the main reason for escargot is it’s an excuse to snarf down a bunch of garlic and butter.
Our supper will be whatever. I don’t feel like cooking. I have a hankering for a 'mater sammich, so that’s what I’ll eat. No idea what **FCD **will scare up. We do have ice cream sammiches for dessert, so there’s that.
This from the man who will not eat Brussels sprouts.
:rolleyes:
Happy Bobbio Day!
So there’s this family that stays at my irkplace every year in the summer, an older couple and their son. The son, Udie or Ugie I can’t remember which, is in his 40s and is autistic with a few other things going on. He is just a sweetheart. His big thing is going to all the bookstores to get some travel books. He reads all the time and he tells some of the corniest jokes in creation. Everyone at my irkplace just loves him to death. A few weeks ago I thought about him and wondered if they were coming this year. Sure enough, Tuesday morning I get to work and there’s Udie.
They went home today. Udie was asking me and Crochet Coworker to look up travel books for him, which were doing because he was so happy about it, and his mom came and told him it was time to go. He pouted all the way out the door.
He was a nice break from all the jackasses that have been coming in lately. Must be a full moon or something.
Saw my cutter today. I’m doing so well that it we said adios…
Home from my not doctor visit.
The nurse called to tell me my appointment was cancelled because the doctor had an emergency.
No rain, pretty day, I guess his golf clubs were feeling neglected. 
Anyway since she couldn’t call me before I got across the bridge and I was already heading for the toll booth I decided to continue on and my friend and I went to breakfast at Dennys and then hung out for a while. It is a nice day to sit on the porch and gossip.
I’m glad it isn’t skin cancer FCM and I hope the clean up crew survives.
Swampy Orange and yellow shag carpeting and avocado appliances could only be an improvement. Well, it’s really not that bad. Almost.
Happy Bobbio Day!
Sari, I have a small amount of slightly worn linoleum that woul, I’m sure look lovely with swampy’s suggestions. Hoping to be able to replace flooring in both kitchen and bathroom in the coming year. (Or at least to paint the kitchen one; bathroom was painted over some time ago.)
Nephew is back from band camp. He was both tired and hungry. Food revived him quite effectively. I took the afternoon off so that he’d have a pseudo-parental unit waiting for him when he got back. Have been doing a lot of the cleaning and organizing I’d planned to do while he was gone.
Off to run some errands.
Hugs all.

Time to recline. MWAH!!
I no longer have the worst lookin’ yahd in da ‘hood. That’s pretty much my goal yahd wise, not to be the worst lookin’ one. The yahd is relieved it is not held to very high standards. Da bear is tahrd! Won’t need melatonin tonight.
flytrap if one were to put butter and garlic on [del]fartblossoms[/del] Brussels sprouts one one have butter and garlic that smelled like it got farted on.
I’m tired but I’m going to force myself to stay up for another hour so I don’t wake up at 4:30 like I have been the last couple of days. I’m tired of being tired.
I worked. I made homemade meatballs and spaghetti. I’m having a beerverage in honor of BBBobbo.
Glad you’re healing, VBob!
[Forest Gump]I had a thing removed form my but-tocks.[/Forest Gump]
Congrats on successful whoring, Rockin’
I ordered 60 Lbs of Kent aquarium salt, enough for 100 gallons. $50.00
Uneasy to be without salt, I bought 15 Lbs at the local fish store for $25.00 yesterday.
The Kent arrived today, while I was mixing up the expensive stuff.
G-d hates me.
I wish I had stayed with fresh water and spent the salt water money on a truck.
