Irk is over and chili and beer has been had. Ice cream and cookies for later. All is good in swampland. ---

Heh, I was just wondering how many posts I’d done on this board, and thinkin’ it must be getting close to 1000- so checked, 'cos it’s that sort of evening… to find I had _exactly_ 1000 posts! Ok, ok, it’s not that interesting 😛 ---

Home from work. Unlike **SOME** MMPrs, I came home **ON TIME.** Mrs. Plant is making chicken soft tacos. Avacadoes. Green onions. Cilantro. No fresno peppers. My back hurts as someone who has intercourse with his female parent. I’ve had tramadol and am drinking a wineverage. ---

Are you sure it’s safe to mix tramadol and alcohol? (worried look) Hope your back quits making you miserable. ---

**flytrap** whatever do you mean! I irked from home this afternoon. I did all kinds of irk. I even sat in on a conference call. I was ever so productive. Ok, I did play solitaire durin’ the call but still, I listened. That counts. Oh and watch you language you child of parents who are not married. ---

> [@Taomist](#): > > Mmm, that sounds good! > I’ve mixed breakfast with lunch, so after the grapenuts I finished off the shrimp noodle thingy I’ve been at the vet too long. I read this as shrimp\* poodle\* thingy. :eek: Yes, I really have been at the vet too long. Or, rather, I’ve been at 3 different vets. The low cost vet said they couldn’t help us. The regular vet wanted to keep him overnight with an IV but they don’t have any staff there overnight. So we were :dubious:. Then we took him to the pros in the vet world and they will keep him overnight and monitor how he’s doing the whole time. Yes, my big boy, Gizmo, has pancreatitis. ☹ But he actually seemed like he was doing a little better and his temperature was back to normal before we even left him there. Now I’m getting ready to make Baked Potato Salad for the clambake tomorrow at the HFUNs. ---

Yay, finally got an answer from EDD, via email. 4 solid days of 8 hours straight trying to get through to their phone lines = approximately 70 bajillion "We’re busy, sorry"s. Give or take 3 trillion. According to the email, they have had technical issues and are working on it. So…now it’s just a waiting game. Hopefully one that ends before my electric bill turns from ‘overdue’ to ‘cutoff point’. /facepalm ---
