Serious Insomnia: the MMP

I had icing (& cake) for brekie today. It wasn’t chocolate cake though, so I didn’t sing song of praise to [del]Dad[/del] Bill Cosby.

Is it still called a piehole if you’re putting cake in it?

Yes.

Howdy Y’all! Back from a quick foray to the near south forty. 'Twas an easy visit so yay for that. Everybody’s happy down that way right now.

StickyBuns yay for your first day on the new gig. I bet you’ll be the bestest teacher evah!

After irk Ima go by the Pubic Sto’ and get some of their hot wings. Hot wings and rice and beans leftover from yestiddy will be dindin because well, need to use up the leftovers and, hey, hot wings!

Sticky, yay for Bubba! Glad to hear that you’ve started the job too, hope you & students get along okie doke. :slight_smile:

I soaked my feet last night, and boy did it make them feel good! I guess my tootsies just needed a bit of pampering. LOL It helped me to sleep good last night as well, I think. One leg is looking fairly good, the other … well, it’s not looking any worse, but not looking any better, so please keep sending healing thoughts my way. The place where the sores are on my legs (on the shins, in the front and back) is a very awkward place especially for healing, which I think would do better open to the air, rather than bandaged, but they need to be bandaged otherwise, they get “disturbed” a lot, especially at night, Thanks for all the good thoughts, btw! :slight_smile:

Happy Tuesday all!

I am stuffed, half a steak sub for N.O.L.

Now I don’t want to move but I have to get laundry together and pick up a bit around here.

N.O.L. was the rest of what I didn’t eat yestiddy. Eh. It’ll keep me goin’ the rest of the day.

Ok, back to irk.

Ziva is smart. :stuck_out_tongue:

How long has the unit been icing up? If the unit is just too big for the amount of space/rooms it cools, then that will make it ice up also. If this happens all the time, that could be the reason. Bigger is not better when it comes to air conditioning.

Have fun on your new gig, sticky. Sis-of-the-recent-surgery gets to go back a couple of weeks into the school year, which in her neck of the woods is immediately after labor day.

swampy, next time you’re at the Pubic Sto’, try their Mojo pork. It’s teh yum!

Keeping busy this week. One of my cow-orkers is out, so I’m taking on a good share of her irk as well as my own. Keeps me out of trouble, says the boss. :smiley:

This had me giggling - even disclosing the mere *existence *of a SAR is illegal. Somone from FinCEN would be acutely aware of this.

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.

Which Evil Empire? Bank of America or Ticketmaster?

We noticed the problem for the first time last night, and we’ve lived in the current apartment for two years now.

FedGov.

I had no idea. In the undergraduate course, they were undersizing units, but that was to reduce the operating cost. I would think an oversize would simply cool more quickly. A/C units here usually cannot maintain 70F inside when it is 110 outside.
What two units, each cooling half the house?

Instead of starting laundry and picking up around here I took a nap.
Naps are a good thing, they keep me out of trouble, the male half of the HFH is annoying me today and it’s better I am quiet. Who am I kidding? He annoys me everyday. Just the fact that he is still breathing in my vicinity annoys me. The only thing he could do that wouldn’t annoy me is disappear. Well let’s be honest, even that would annoy me unless he took the female half with him.
It’s a minor thing, it’s a petty thing but
We have a trash can on the back porch for recycling. We put a liner in it and it has a tight fitting lid (ever since we had a mouse problem) and when it gets full Sah-son takes it outside to the HUGE recycling container. The HFH took a bunch of recycling out and piled it so high in the can on the porch that the lid is sitting a good 8 inches or more on top of the trash. He is, I guess too special to lift the liner out and put a new one in. No, he will just pile more stuff on and let Sah-son deal with it. Just like the both of them will walk right past the empty trash cans on trash day and when mom said something to them they said it’s not their job to bring them up to the house.
Since there are essentially three households living in this house I think they should have to mow the lawn every third time and they should take out the trash every third time. Why should they get a free ride off my son after she bitched about him putting a few things in the dishwasher and called him a retard? And after his dumb ass bitching to me about how disrespectful my son was to my sister for leaving a few dishes in the sink. No, you dumbass - it would be disrespectful if my son left your dishes in your sink in* your* house. It may be disrespectful to my mother, as it’s her dishes and her sink and her house but it is in no way disrespectful to the HFH. However, in their minds they are the center of the universe and everything is always about them.
So don’t come here and tell me what a horrible mother I am and how disrespectful my son is and call him a retard and then leave a big ass pile of trash for him to clean up behind you.
I know it’s a small thing and I know it’s a petty thing but it still annoys me.

I saw a quote on FB today that said ‘sometimes the first part of forgiveness is understanding the other person was born an idiot’. I need to hold onto that.

It’s gonna be really, really tough to be a character witness for you at the trial.
It’s gonna cost you.
:dubious:

Howdy Y’all! Been a bzzy time for da bear the past few hours. Some irk but mostly not. OYKW dropped his cell phone in the <snerk> terlet <snerk> this afternoon. Yes, indeed, I have been gigglin’ and guffawin’ over this. Poor thing. Anywho, we are upgrade eligible so we’ll both just get new phones. I’m not really into smart phones and neither is he. Talk and text is all I care about. He’s more of the, when I wanna use it I just want to be able to without all the fancy stuff. Heck, I got him to start textin’ finally just a couple of months ago. So da bear is doin’ research on phones.

flytrap what other kind of witnesses could Mumpers be beside character witnesses. :smiley:

**Red[/b[ I shall have to investigate Mojo pork at the Pubic Sto’.

I was thinking the exact same thing about **sari. ** :slight_smile:

ETA: Doesn’t everybody have a phone in the toilet incident sooner or later, swampy??

Rotissed poke, smashed N.O.T.s, and beets have been ingested. I’s stuffded!!

I sewed 2 tote bags this afternoon - I’m going to stencil something on them and see about selling them.

Mostly, I’s tahred.

StickyBuns I’m sure every one does sooner or later. I dropped my phone in the terlet once. However, it was before I peed. OYKW was not so fortunate as he did it post pee. :smiley: It was clipped on a belt loop and he said he somehow managed to brush against it and it just plopped right in there. <snerk> Dang, this has brought out the juvenile in me! :smiley:

Anywho, I have found him a nice replacement new flip type phone that he likes and meets his needs. I don’t really need to upgrade myself right now, so we’ll just get him another phone. Should be here by Firday.

And on that note, I shall now go lie upon the bed and watch teevee until sleepy time. I be tahrd.

Nitey Nite Y’all!

Well, it’s too late now, but I was going to suggest you just get used to using a smart phone. Pretty soon, you won’t be able to get a regular ol’ phone. It’s why we made the jump. I was pretty much content with my “dumb” phone, but I have to admit, having a smart phone has come in handy. I’ve used it to look up directions/addresses when in an unfamiliar area, or to search for nearby restaurants. Also, if I’m stuck waiting somewhere, I can pull out my smartphone and occupy myself while waiting.

I’ve had a really lazy day, but that’s okay. I’m entitled to one once in awhile, and, it is my vacation. Tomorrow will be busy enough. We have to run out to the accountant to see if she finished up MiL’s taxes in the morning, after that we have to swing by one MiL’s banks to check up on some stuff and collect a check for an account we closed out, and in the afternoon, we have an appointment with the lawyer. That’ll be two days wasted on estate business during my vacation. I’m kind of irritated by that, but there is nothing to be done, but take care of it. Sigh…

In about an hour, I’ll start dinner. We have leftover ribs and pasta salad, so it’s not like dinner will require any great effort on my part.
