Good Morninā€™ Yā€™all! Up and caffienatinā€™. _YAWN_ 'Tis 57 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 80 for the day. NICE! **{{{Taters}}}** is there anyway of lettinā€™ TPTB know of the situation with your dad? Surely they will understand if you feel like you need to stay close to home should the need be. Also, if you do make it down to Little Rock watch out for **flytrap**. Heā€™s tryinā€™ to give fish away and might attempt to sneak a few in your luggage. šŸ˜ƒ **flytrap** if you make Mrs. Plant v.3.0. sick and she still wants to stay then you know itā€™s lurve! Congrats on the pendinā€™ 1.0 anniversary! **Herbs** Robert Redford never did a thing for me. _The Way We Were_ was _the_ romance movie back in ye olde college days. Somewhat sappy though it may be, I gotta admit itā€™s a kinda good movie. **StickyBuns** there is no such thing as bad chawklit icinā€™. Thus, you did not have a dream you had a nightmare! :eek: **doggio** now that hockey lady and you have exchanged phone numbers, can elbow lickinā€™ be far behind? **Tao** fried spam? ICK! Fried spam and [del]fart blossoms[/del] brussels sprouts would be like the \*\*N.O.L.\*\*room special at hellā€™s elementary skool. Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas, irk purtification must commence. At least itā€™s Firday! Happy Firday Yā€™all! ---

Iā€™m all alone in the officeā€¦ someone else is in the building somewhere - the front door was unlocked and thereā€™s a car in the parking lot - but the second floor is mineā€¦ ALL MINE!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! ā€¦ sorry - got carried away there. My sweetie decided last night that heā€™d sleep in today and decide when he awoke whether heā€™d come to work or not. So here I am alone, finishing my breakfast sammich. Iā€™ve got a list of stuff to do, so I can keep myself busy for the day. Yesterday, I finished the first draft of the drawings from Heck, and until I hear back from the engineer, I donā€™t have to deal with those. No idea what the weekend holds. The weather is supposed to be gorgeous and my yard is a disaster - I may spend a few hours outside dealing with the mess. I see some studio time also. Beyond that, who knows? Who cares? Itā€™s the weekend! Happy Firday, all!! ---

Speaking of which, **swampyā€™s** elbow-licking post made me LOL, literally. I am up early because the damn subfinder called me twice this morning already despite the fact that I thought I had turned it off from calling at all and each time it calls I press ā€˜2ā€™ and it says thank you, I wonā€™t call you again today. :rolleyes: Today is Aqua Zumba and then [del]arm wrestling with my grandparents[/del] taking them for their flu shots. They agreed to get flu shots at their last doctor appointment, but I donā€™t expect them to remember that today, especially my grandma who is more stubborn than the rest of my immediate family combined. I suppose the moral of this story is donā€™t get old or donā€™t get Alzheimerā€™s disease or maybe there is no moral. ---

{{{ **Taters** }}} In completely unrelated news, I discovered today that we really donā€™t have loose change floating around the houseā€¦ Needed tip for delivery and I was clean out of coins, and nobody else had much either. Looking in all the odd recpetacles and places turned up lots of 1-bit coins\* but nothing meaningful. Since this is a regular delievery I ended up having him give me changeā€¦ šŸ˜• šŸ™‚ - Almost literally - 10 _agorot_ coins, each of which is worth almost exactly 2.5 cents. Theyā€™re also close enough for paying for a really **good** opinion! :p:D ---

\*\*Nooner \*\*- you need one of my magical ceramic pots! They seem to attract change, or at least they do in my house. I swear, there are 4 or 5 of them in various rooms on various surfaces and all have random money, from a few pennies to some serious silver coinage. I plan to empty them all into a sack and make a deposit to savings. \*\*FCD \*\*did come to work after all. And I just responded to an email about the drawing from Heck where he told me that I made some mistakes, even tho I did what he told me to do. Iā€™m wondering if this is an Aero Engineer/Electrical Engineer failure to communicate?? Back to the grindā€¦ ---

Speaking of Alzheimerā€™s, Iā€™m not going to make it to the pool this morning. One of the dogs is sick because of eating too much people food (given to him by my grandparents) and weā€™re going to the vet instead. There are so many ways in which this situation pisses me off. Not the least of which is that Iā€™m missing class which Iā€™ve been looking forward to every since they posted when it would occur. ---

> [@Taters](#): > > How the hell sending me from Washington state to Little Rock, vs San Antonio or even San Diego, is saving the DoD TDY money is beyond me. I missed something. Probably an airline hub. When I flew from LR to Boston, they sent me West to a hub in Texas and then East to Boston. On the way back as we passed over LR on the way to Texas, I asked for a parachute. It did not go over well. I think Iā€™m caught up now. To explainā€¦no, there isa no bandwidth. To Sum Up, Mrs. Plant v.3.0 did not become ill. The fish still cannot keep it in their pants. Thank you.

I currently have two suits that I use for water aerobics, a one piece and the (two piece) swim skirt one. Obviously the two piece suit wasnā€™t designed for water exercise. When I jump up and then back down my top goes flying up (just so far as to expose my stomach). Fortunately, the only person (other than me) who probably knows this is the lifeguard. Iā€™d like to find an inexpensive suit with better support up top. Although, they do tend to float and that helps somewhat. šŸ˜ƒ I wore a sports bra under my suit one day this week and it was ok, but Iā€™m not really a fan of sports bras in general as they tend to hurt my neck. > [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Smart ass. > > šŸ™‚ :D:D ---
