Dirty movies!
Cool!
If you Google the entymologyit says it’s from the Russian word “gromit.”
Bad dog, Gromit. No crackers for you.
I just received the following “out of office” message: Will be consuming fruity umbrella drinks on the beach in Kauai until August 11. Aloha and Mahalo
Conga-rats on the house, sari.
Welcome back, Jim. I’ve jammed with a lot of musicians in your situation here in Tennessee over the years. They mostly came to day job. / weekend jam mode after something like your mishap.
I slept like a baby last night. Hope to tonight too.
I went to the doc today for a foot check and a tetanus shot. The cut is healing nicely, according to the folks who can actually get a good look at it. 
They got the new water heater installed today and YAY! I can haz a shower at home now instead of the gym or irk. A county political meeting (our primary is rapidly approaching) capped the day. I’s tahred.
Worked at another store. Hadd hyper ADD squirrel Girlas cashier. Ate meatloaf for dinner. More work tomorrow.
QUOTE=Capt Kirk;17608425]Well… May 17th I amputated the tip of my left hand index finger while at work, those who know me on FB have seen the pic. I was fortunate to get a World Class Plastic Surgeon who saved my finger, I have about 2/3 of my Distal Phalanx instead of SOP which is to remove to the next viable joint and sew it up. I will play Pearl again soon.
This spurred me to make some changes.
After sixteen years of self employment, I am taking a job that actually has insurance. I will soon start with the Evil Empire as a Production Manager. My touring days are probably done.
I bought a car because three years on two wheels is enough.
I have thrown myself into the dating world because four years single is enough.
I am growing a full beard because I want to and it is coming in mostly grey.
I came back to the SDMB because stupid is killing me.
Cheers
Jim

- Yay for girls!
- Going for the ZZ Top look? Now I won’t recognize you next time we meet.
- Glad you’re back, dude!
Spidey, sounds like a recording I’d use.
Feel better, sari!
Spaz, I’ll see if it’s on Netflix.
Yay for a healing foot, Red
We had a hellacious electrical storm last night knocking out the power for three hours. So I didn’t sleep well. I never sleep well due to waking multiple times a night for HOT FLASHES. Pure joy
Good news Sari. Rosie’s sig.
Up, caffeinated, off to work.
Well, I slept better last night. I won’t feel like hell today, at least not until later.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis <snerk> 69! <snerk> Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 94 for the day. Hawt and hyoooooomid again.
Red Yay for healing foot!
Butters I like tboomers and electrical storms except for when they knock the power out.
Spidey HEE! That’s a jake out of the office message.
Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants sustenence. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. Alas!
ETA: Yay for sleepin’ better DeathMistress!
Happy Tuesday Y’all!
Good morning! Higgs didn’t start fussing till just after 6, but my sleep was interrupted anyway. **FCD **was having a twitchy dream at some point, and he twitched my arm a few times before rolling over. At least it wasn’t my head. Sometimes he falls asleep with his hand next to or under my pillow, and if he dreams, my skull gets jostled. He doesn’t hurt me, but it’s enough to rouse me from my slumber. Fortunately, despite last night’s twitching, I fell back to sleep, so there’s that.
I’ve got half a dozen peaches that will be peeled, sliced, and frozen today. Plus a cantaloupe that needs to be chunked up. The dishwasher is already washing - I really shoulda run it last night - and at some point, I need to drag the vacuum cleaner out. Domesticity shall abound today!!
Yesterday’s mail brought a package from my MIL - along with a check to reimburse us for all the gas we burned shuttling them around, she sent a bra that she thought was mine. I’m pretty sure it’s my SIL’s (she stayed at their house a few times recently) because it’s 3 sizes too small and way more expensive than the cheapies I get at WalMart. So I get to mail it back. Plus I need to mail the check to our FL credit union.
Hot and humid day on tap - looks like summer has returned. 
Happy Tuesday!!
Blurf.
Teh Dope has been blocked at the orifice, dammit. glad I still have my phone…
Congrats on the house, sari!! I hope the inspection goes well.
Robyn, I missed that you got a job, congrats to you!
Welcome back, Jim!
Herbs, Bubba is just fine. He’s right here by my side as I sit here on the couch typing this. He’s becoming a bit neurotic in his old age. There’s grass growing in the gravel outside the garage door and some days he decides that he doesn’t want to walk on the grass. Sometimes this means he doesn’t want to leave the garage, others he leaps from the garage to the part of the drive without grass. I felt the grass and realized that part of it is actually a weed that probably hurts his feet so I pulled enough weeds to make a path for him but it didn’t make any difference at all. 
I started my new job yesterday. No kids yet, just lots of training although I did meet one of my students and she’s adorable and quite ornery. Should be an interesting year.
Why am I up?
Mawnin all and Happy Twoosday, caffeine is a good thing. Get to go make the loud/push paper for Yes today.
Back when awake.
Jim
Afternoon, mumpers!
Conga-rats, sari, hope the inspection goes well. I’ll be crossing all sorts of things for you!
Also, congra-rats rockin’ on good job news which I also managed to miss.
Today’s winner of the bonus box of pointy stick-wielding Sri Lankan troopers will be our dept of Eye-talian Studies. Ask for a simple bit of paperirk and I get back a bunch of different things, none of which match and none of which answer the question.
Welcome back, Cap’n - I remember the finger injury, not nice at all and I’m sure Pearl has missed you. Sounds like you are changing lots of things, and have good stuff to look forward to.
rosie, I told 'im indoors about your message at the weekend, he is still grumping about it Bruce did have aspirations to be the new 'im indoors at one point but I had to explain to him very carefully the many reasons why that Simply Would Not Happen. Doesn’t stop him offering every time he sees me though :rolleyes:
I have GOT to start getting more sleep. Air conditioning hiccups last night didn’t help. Still trying to figure out icing in the HVAC. Weather-related arthritis aches didn’t help either.
At least I have tomorrow off, so can sleep lots then. I have no errands tomorrow that I know of, but do need to take the final exam for an online class while DH is still off at school (last time I tried to take a test with him home, he for some reason decided he HAD to start rummaging around in the kitchen digging out baking sheets and such).
I believe icing is often caused by a low level of refrigerant.
Try switching the fan from “Auto” to “On”. That will keep air moving across the coils when the compressor isn’t running, and may stop ice from forming.
I’ll see if that has such a setting. Guess I’d better also contact building maintenance. (sigh)
Happy Toosday!
It’s a pretty day but going to be a warm one. Guess I need to close my window.
Today is pizza day YAY! I usually don’t care so much for pizza day, I do it for Sah-son but today I am looking forward to a sub. Today is laundry day as well.
Mom and her bf left for the ocean and will be gone until Saturday. I think both of the HFH are gone, I didn’t hear him leave but both cars are gone. So I guess it’s just me and the kid and the dog, If things go right soon it will always be just me, the kid and the dog which is a happy thought.
I got a charlie horse last night which woke me up and of course every time I’d start to fall asleep I’d relax my toes which would cause the muscle to cramp back up and wake me up again. I finally figured out a way to bend one leg over the other that kept my toes pulled back. My leg still hurts this morning if I straighten it out.
::sigh:: I see icing in the HVAC and wondered what drug you are taking Nettie and can I have some, then I realize you mean ice the cold stuff, not icing the sweet stuff.
Congrats on the job Rockin
Good luck Sticky!
i has a whole lotta blurf today 
Yeah, I had foot cramps last night, too. At least they weren’t those stubborn persistent ones that make you think you’ll never walk right again, but still, always painful.
My old-as-the-hills cat, Al, has rallied health-wise yet again, and even popped up onto the couch to hang out next to me and receive scritches. He was purring up a storm, and he’s still VERY interested in his mealtimes, and that’s the most important metric of health.
