I thought that instead of throwing my randomness into many threads, I’d channel it here. Who’s in? ---

My ear is clogged. I am craving cocoa puffs but I’m worried about cutting up the roof of my mouth. I have a crush on someone here. Procrastinating studying is worse than studying itself. Why do people check out what they plow out of their ears? This is probably in the wrong forum. ☹ dammit ---

I wonder if metformin might be useful in the treatment of early CFR diabetes. But might it also derange the chloride channel dysfunction even further? My toe’s been having unusual pains lately. ---

I have to go get groceries tonight. At least the store will probably not be very busy. ---

We had our best day today at the deli. I’m pooped! Our food is excellent and we are friendly, but we are a little too slow yet. I’ve got to get my two sandwich makers to move faster. A foot massage would be so awesome right now. ---

I ran out of cat treats, but my cat kept whining and doing her tricks, expecting a reward. (She can _sit_, _lay down_, _shake_, and _prairie dog_, with varying levels of aptitude.) Turns out, she actually likes crumbled bacon better than her regular treats. I’m not sure how I feel about this, since the crumbled bacon is _my_ treats. ---

I wonder if \*\*BlackKnight \*\*can sit, lay down, shake, and prairie dog. I wonder how long it will be before I can wear normal shoes again. What should I make Mom for Mother’s Day dinner? Is this is anything like the MMP? Should I go to my contractor’s wedding on Saturday? -D/a ---

I have songs from Tangled stuck in my head. I wonder if anyone else uses sunglasses primarily as ogling eyewear. ---

You know that Chinese human rights activist who may or may not be hiding out in the US embassy? You know how he’s blind? Wouldn’t it be funny if he wasn’t in the US embassy at all? If his confederates just walked him around the block a few times and he’s just hiding out in his neighbor’s garage or something, that would be hilarious. Do I have any ice cream? I hope I have Ice cream. I’m gonna go check after this. > [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > I wonder if anyone else uses sunglasses primarily as ogling eyewear. I know I do. They’re great to wear in places where it’s hot and the women don’t have too many clothes on. ---

They called that “Crazy Tuesday” where I used to live. Actually, every Tuesday was crazy at that grocery. I once asked customer service lady, “what makes Tuesdays so crazy?” and she said, “we get to hang the banner outside that says ‘Crazy Tuesday.’” ---

I think I’m a little bit in love with you. My toddler has entered the dreaded Knock Knock Joke Phase. Her current repertoire: “Knock knock” (Who’s there?) “Ha ha ha ha!” Repeat. Repeat. Repeat… I wonder if I should get my huge white van painted? Maybe like the General Lee. Wouldn’t that be awesome? Or maybe like the Partridge Family bus. I’m bored with white vehicles. ---
