You, my dear **Soapy** , are an academic geek. šŸ˜ƒ Sorry about Bubba, **Sticky**. Hope heā€™s better very soon. Need some Mumper vibes headed toward Faraway Best Friend and her family. She just called (itā€™s the middle of the night there) because they just took her son to the hospital with major major stomach cramps. He has cystic fibrosis, so heā€™s always had digestive issues. She was in a panic because she couldnā€™t go with him as she has to give oral exams tomorrow (and itā€™s not a situation where she can get a sub, unfortunately). Her hubby went to the hospital with him, but itā€™s not the same. Theyā€™re going to the clinic where his doctor is, so theyā€™ll know what to look for, but still, itā€™s scary. Iā€™m hoping itā€™s something minor that just has icky symptoms, butā€¦ So, appendages crossed, etc., please. GT ---

Hugs for Faraway Friendsā€¦ The Bubster seems to be better. Heā€™s in his crate for the night. Hopefully heā€™ll be ok. Sometimes when theyā€™re sick I feel like maybe I should let them sleep with me, but they actually feel better when theyā€™re secure in their crates. ---

Well, weā€™re back from the Mad Hatterā€™s tea party. Sigh. Itā€™s finally halfway nice, so we unwrapped the 'Vette, put the top down and off we went. The 'Vette is a beautiful machine, even though itā€™s 10 years old. We show it off at the occasional car show. It lives in the garage in the winter. The last time we went to a show, hubby took the front plate off and put the cover back on, because it looks nicer. He forgot to put the plate back on before our trip. Beautiful ride both in the car and on the ferry. We got to within feet of the Sequim exit. Sigh. We werenā€™t speeding, we had our seatbelts on, we even had the headlights on for safety. Unfortunately, Mr. WSP didnā€™t think that was enough. We got a $218 ticket for no front plate. Happy birthday to me. :rolleyes: We got to the folks, where I was given my present, a rather rude card, picked out but their live-in health aid, who doesnā€™t like me much. :rolleyes: Itā€™s ok. We went out to dinnerā€¦ I love the place we went, so that was perfect. Well, except we paid for dinner. We went back to the house for cakeā€¦ except caregiver didnā€™t buy the cake as they asked her, she bought flan and browniesā€¦ with almonds. Hubby has ended up in the hospital twice because of his almond allergy. I thanked them and said I was too full to eat anymore. If I had eaten any, then kissed hubby, he would have a bad day. We said our goodbyes, and headed home. Tomorrow weā€™ll do something fun with candles. ---

Many happies Picu and Muppet! **Lunch** , donā€™t be too miffed about England going through, they get to play Germany on Sunday so there will be plenty of wailing and gnashing of teeth on the run-up to that one. When they lose, there will be an implosion of catastrophic proportions and the entire country (apart from me, of course) will sink into a depression so deep youā€™ll need a crane to pull it out again. Somehow I donā€™t think even Englandā€™s overpaid prima donnas can match the French for a good old flounce!
