(anybody ELSE thing Serenity instead of Serendipity when reading this?)
All I know is Serendipity was some loopy Dragon in a kids book I read once.
In the 60’s.
Over the Marianas Trench.
Took about 20 minutes, IIRC.
Want to take a minute and help me pick up my jaw? You never had a cider donut? You didn’t even know they existed? You have my most profound sympathy, bordering on pity.
Cider donuts are the bestest thing ever.
I betcha Rue won the Powerball and doesn’t have time for us peons anymore.
Oh, my! Oh, my! First the stoopit internet conks out for the entire state of Flawduh if yur carrier is Sprint. THEN our fearless leader conks out for the MMP!!! :eek: What a world! What a world!
How will we cope? Should the first one here Monday just start a thread with MMP in it? Just won’t be the same. 
WAAAGGGHHH!!! I hope whatever it is doesn’t last long rue.
I like chaoticcub, too. It’s much more you.
ashes, I vote for bats too. The wings would be more “fluffy” looking to ad dimension to the garland, knowhadImean?
shibb, bravo! encore!
fcm, good vibes being sent for hubby’s surgery. Also for the surgeon soin he doesn’t get no bad cold germs.
I’m all sad. I just woke up and have to use the bathroom pretty badly. I wouldn’t feel bad about going over there in my boxers, but I slept in my jock strap last night, and I doubt that the rest of the people on my floor wish to see me exposed.
::sigh::
And ::sigh:: because I have 3 more days of classes this week, too.
Send me a pic and I’ll tell ya whether or not you should go weewee wearing just your strap. 
Oh, like you didn’t think I’d post this!
I had this same sort of surprise last night. **KeithT **didn’t know about cider donuts either! I can kinda understand with **Ashes **because she’s from a warm climate where they might not have enough apples to spare some for cider for donuts. But KeithT’s from a northern state where I assume they grow apples. How can they not have cider donuts??
OK, I’m going with selling the rings. And if I find some time, I’ll take some pix of them and post the pix for everyone to check out. They’re not terribly attractive - not old enough to be “estate” jewelry but too old to be fashionable. But a couple of them might be diamonds so if nothing else the stone should be worth something. However, they could be fake in which case I might as well just throw them all out. I really need an appraiser or two.
Thoughts and prayers for the **DeDay **family and for **FCD **and family.
Today is painting, kitchen cleaning and laundry day. Any minute now I will leap into action. After I have my tea. Mr. Lissar is off work today, but he’s also going to spend most of the day training with a friend who’s doing his black belt grading in a week. They’re doing a two person blindfolded staff kata. I hope they survive.
Before he leaves I’ll cruelly force him to put the dishes away.
Dude. chaoticdonkey. TMI!
OOH! donkey oogied scout. He best get back in here quick and say, “Excuse me, ma’am.” 
Yay! My work computer has risen from the dead. Don’t let anybody tell you risen computers are all shabby like zombies 'cause it seems they come back even spiffier, like vampires. It took three days too, oooh creepy. So now I get to pester you all during the day, wahoo!
No no no, you are Donkey, Donkey. See? Says so right in your name. Plus, chaotic cubs doesn’t sound like a good time. Their mom is always hanging around, and if they got all chaotic somebody’d put an eye out for sure. Also, I don’t like jockstraps and I don’t know why. It’s not like I have to wear them or anything. Robes are very good for times like that, also for when your house is on fire.
Eyeballs are just the thing for wreaths, you’re right Swampy. They’re really easy to make, too. Oh! Maybe I’ll make a jar of fake eyeballs. The more I think of it, the more I like the idea of bats. I could have them hanging wing tip to wing tip and have bigs ones in the center so it looks all swoopy like garlands do. I have a bunch of candles I made to look like leg bones (a bit of meat included), but I never thought of using chicken bones. I do know I want to find small animal skulls for a window decoration and you can’t find good ones anywhere unless you spend a bunch of cash. Who knew that even a model rat skull would cost so much? Hopefully getting a good fake bat won’t be so hard.
Darn it, I just realized I haven’t even started my Day of the Dead altar.
Ackshully there’s Julian not too far from here that’s all appled up. The parts that didn’t burn to a crisp last year, that is. Strangely, our grocery stores don’t seem to know there’s more than three kinds of apples, so that might be the problem. I have got to get me some of those doughnuts, now. I may even break out my little beignet fryer and make some, if I have to.
I vote lottery winner too Ex. **Rue’**s not telling because he doesn’t want to share. Jeesh, I only want a million or two!
Ashes, I was thinking about Julian, too. I’ve had the apple pie, but I’m betting they might have cider donuts, too. I’d heard mention of them before (probably around here) but never had 'em either.
We have friends who are new in town, so perhaps they’d like to take a daytrip and I can not only seek out cider donuts, but rummage through the apparently HUGE used bookstore I hear they have.
Excuse me, ma’am. (it’s not any more TMI than talking about having bears in your bed! This week’s MMP has been pretty tame TMI-wise, anyways.)
I do have a robe, come to think of it, but it’s wadded up in a ball in my closet, instead of hanging up neatly.
swampy, unfortunately (for you), there are no existant pictures of me in it. There there.
To all interested parties, I’m still pondering my name change… I’d hate to use my only alloted name change, and then feel that I messed up later. Or what if I misspelled it in my email to TubaDiva? :eek:
Actually, chaoticdonkey, I’m not really all that squeamish. It’s just that the way you posted, I got an extremely crisp mental image. I figured it warranted a comment.
Plus, I’m bored.
I’ve had a Shakira song stuck in my head all day. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard it enough times to remember much of it, so it’s random Spanish with a backbeat. It’s that one where she dances around while covered in mud. Not a flattering look for most people. Anyway, the reason I have it stuck in my head is because I’m wearing this really pretty fluttery top that makes me feel, not exactly Spanish, but more exotic. Won’t be covering myself in mud and dancing today though.
Other than that, it’s a quiet week. Going to a baseball game Sunday with cousins & dad, so it should be fun. My cousins emailed me about the visit - they fly in Friday, and leave Sunday. One cousin is just going to pack underwear, the other is going to also include jeans. Basically, they live off of my wardrobe when they come to visit. Not usually so overt about it.
I had a pack of peanut M&M’s after lunch. They were good.

Nooooo! You’re Donkey! Also, chaoticcub has two Cs in a row and that is a bad thing. It just is, that’s why. And while I’m being neurotic-- pick up your robe young man!
Scout, they have apples, doughnuts and books? Heaven! I haven’t been in ages and it seems I need to go back right soonly.
Don’t call me sir, I work for a living.
Apple cider doughnuts must be an east coast thing. I’ve never seen them out here. Maybe I should start a new trend. Hmmm…
Best wishes to FairyChatDad. Back problems are no fun at all.
All that technology at your disposal and none of it will take pictures? :dubious:
I’ve never heard of or had cider doughnuts either. I want a cider doughnut. Heck, I probably want a bunch of em, but I don’t know yet cause I’ve never even had one. Poor me! SNIFF
There’s a cellphone that has a crappy camera built in, and a lovely 5 megapixel digital camera… that’s 3.5 hours away. I accidentally left it at home last time I went there.
That’s what they all sound like, but sometimes en ingles.
I can’t be chaoticbear because swampy wouldn’t allow it. And my robe is picked up. The dorm closets have a built in set of 4 drawers on one side, with a closet rod above it on which one can hang clothes. The robe is balled up on top of the drawers, and under the hung-up clothes.
I grew up in a state where there are apple orchards and I never heard of cider donuts. They do sound good, tho.
I sent of my While Elephant to the lucky recipient, who just happens to be one of the cool kids - you know: MMPer! Who knew first class and Priority Mail by weight cost the same. So it went Priority, because it’s that important!
My sweetie found a video on line of his surgicals - well, not exactly his, as he hasn’t been surgicalized yet, but of the procedure he’s going to have. I didn’t open in - just thinking about it makes me all oooogy. I’d rather envision surgical pixies flinging magic dust around his gurney, making him all better. And they lived happily ever after. The end.
Who, me? Denial?? HAH! I laugh at denial. HAH!
Oh yeah, and my mom is flying to Europe today - London, Paris, then a cruise down the Danube. They’ll start out somewhere in Germany and I know they’re stopping in Vienna and ending in Budapest. She’s excited about the trip and terrified about flying. Mom doesn’t like closed in spaces, especially when those spaces are way up in the air speeding along. So she got some happy pills from her doctor and I expect she’ll wash them down with a glass or 2 of wine. Apart from the going and coming, she’ll have a great time. She’s traveling with another widow so they both got the double occupancy rate, and they’ll have each other for company. I forgot to tell her to bring me a present. Rats…
Yeah, you wouldn’t want to end up as chaoticcup. Or chaoticduck. Chaoticcub does have a few too many c’s, but if you left one out, everyone would think you’re chaotic ub.
What’s an ub?
I haven’t had cider doughnuts, but my mom sends me some maple doughnuts every year. She still hasn’t caught on that they wouldn’t be so stale if she would actually wrap them up before she mails them, instead of just sticking them in the box and laying a plastic bag over them. They’re a lot nicer when they’re fresh.
