See if I write any more “Rosie, the Cute Snow Bunny” stories!
:dubious:
I think it’s time to recline. Cake later.
MWAH!!***
That sounds worse that gefilte fish, but I’m sure that Rosie will take time out from snorting derisively to point out that it is absolutely delicious.
I saw two terrapins mating at the zoo. The guy fell off, and the lady decided to go to the mall or something, and began walking away, dragging the guy on his back by his-er, it was pretty grim.
flytrap turtle track ice cream is pretty good, but it’s not a thing I get a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for. I ate a scoop of it a while ago and I’m good to go. This makes OYKW happy cause, hey, more for him. 
Home from the hospital.
actually got home hours ago but I slept all afternoon.
Nothing to show for my torture except for a bruised and swollen hand.
Everything looks good so two days of rest and no lifting or driving and I’m good.
There were two accidents in the parking garage, people are crazy.
Worked, came home. Asian BBQ chicken and green tea rice for dinnner. I got a job interview with the DM on Thursday. 
I’m as Gentile as they come, and I eat matzo ball chicken
soup.
No, I’m pointing and laughing at you. [Nelson]HA! HA![/Nelson]
Glad you’re gonna live, sari.
Spidey, good point. And I didn’t have to wait 6 hours for beerverage #2tonight.
What can I say? Some folks are goofy and don’t like Brussels sprouts.
Some folks are intelligent and don’t like matzo ball soup or gefillte fish.
You can’t help it. I suspect that it is genetic.
Arrived to irk at 0900 to find all network computers in my bldg were non functional. Made the obligatory phone call. to the unhelpful desk. Found out this was scattered all over base. I did get a call from field services telling me they’d get to it when they can. Best be irking in the morning.
Sold a cruise. Nice commission for the organization. FYI Disney cruise line ain’t cheap. I am slowly but surely selling travel and had to use my laptop for irk but glad it was there.
Missed my boy. Like the idea of putting a box over his bead DogButler. My boss has told me I can bring him every day but somehow I think the AUDITORS would frown.
RED-- you are an AUDITOR and live in TN. Please don’t tell.
I spent my lonely time filling and organizing still. Got years worth of stuff and found some good trip down memory lane type of stuff.
At the end of the day I recd a text from a colleague that my favorite grounds maintenance/ handyman in our dept-- well, his 20 yr old son was killed last Friday night along with at least one other and injuries. His care broke down and someone plowed into them. I has a sad about this.
Will someone be kind enough to tell me how to do nested quotes?
Chocolate Milk-- the last 2 timed I got True Moo chocolate milk it was soured, from different stores. I will resort to Nestles Quik with skim.
Fruitcake-- my mother made when I was a child with technicolor fruits. I think Fruitcake is an old age acquired taste. Hubby love him some Claxton GA fruitcake. Hubby love all fruitcake nd I can tolerate it. I would want the soaked one though Baker.
Surgery–Sari sending healing vibes. If’n you want to chat pm me.
Nested Quotes–I would like to know how please.
Intelligent folks know that matzoh ball soup is both tasty & good for you.
Give me just one example of someone who is intelligent & doesn’t like matzoh ball soup. Betcha can’t do it. 
So, venting here… The last two days have sucked. I’m ultimately happy that RT has his old job back. Given all of our circumstances, it’s definitely the right thing to do. That being said, it freaking sucks not having him here.
Today is a little better, I guess. Other than running across someone on LinkedIn who kicked me when I was down. I had to fight the urge to send her an email telling her exactly what I think of her. Someday I guess I will forgive her, but not yet even though I’m certain that she’s forgotten all about me.
Well, I guess I’ve grumbled enough. Off to bed and then I have off-site training all day tomorrow.
butters, I see no evil, hear no evil or speak no evil when it comes to furry four legged creatures unless your process forbids them or the inventory of their kibble shows a discrepancy.
We’ll keep the prayers and good thoughts ascending and shoot for great.
My family always called it “Jewish Penicillan”; it was a staple during cold and flu season. Considering how rarely we got either I would say it works.
Red. He has some funny ways and dad reported today that he took him out but Lou refused and bolted back up the stairs. I will not in a million years see my dog suffer due to AUDITORS.
Who Audits the AUDITORS? Thanks for the vote of confidence. I just wish I had an idea which day they will visit so Louie can go to irk. He has some funny ways.
Also re Louie at irk. My justification is I ran a Veterinary Clinic and he was welcomed. Til it was shut down due to funding shortage. He is grandfathered in as far as I am concerned.:smilie:
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN 'Tis 44 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 70 and sunny for the day. Nice! Of course I’ll be inside all day, but still, nice.
Sari glad everything went ok yestiddy.
Butters I say Lucky Louie should be there. You could say he’s the Chief Officer in charge of Skritch Therapy. Also, I have no idea how to do nested quotes. Mayhaps some other Mumper can so enlighten you.
{{{StickyBuns}}} it may be for the best but it can still suck.
flytrap it’s easy. Jewish Chikin Soup is nummy. Fart Blossoms are served in Hell’s skool cafeteria. See?
Ok, that’s all I got. I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. Le Sigh.
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
Who sassed you?!?!? :eek:
Not to suggest that you popped anyone in the mouth for irritating you…
It appears I cursed myself by mentioning my several nights of good sleep, because I’ve now had 2 in a row that sucked mightily. I feel like I woke up every hour last night, for no apparent reason. I refused to look at the clock - somehow that made it easier to fall back to sleep. But still, a horrible night. And today promises to be another dreary day. WOE!!! I want swampy’s weather!!!
**FCD **brought his W2 home last night. We’re awaiting a 1099 for the crabber gig and I need my W2 from my 2 months of drafting. I think I can download my pension payout paperwork (yay alliteration!!) from OPM’s website. I wish I’d get it all before the end of the month deadline, but I’m not counting on it. But we should get some refund since we both claim 0 dependents on our W4s. Time will tell.
Later this afternoon, we meet with our financial guy to discuss our annuities and such. We arranged to meet him in Leonardtown, so we can avoid the stoopit escape-from-the-base traffic. Yay!
Speaking of FCD’s job (OK, technically, I wasn’t) they just made him the lead mechanical guy on a new project. He said he thinks there’s 3-4 years of work there, which is reassuring, since he’d hoped to get 2 full years. But this way, he can keep going if he wants, or maybe shift to part-time. So it’s that much later that we’ll have to tap our IRA and that much more we can tuck into his 401k and our savings. Which means we may be able to do the several dream trips we’ve talked about. Moral of the story, and I’ve said this many times, PLAN EARLY for your retirement. Everything costs more than you think, and prices just keep going up.
As for today’s plans, I think I’m overdue to clean this pile of papers on my desk. I was looking for a receipt and I came across the certificate from my cruise for crossing the Arctic Circle - that was 4 months ago!! So, yeah, time to organize.
Happy Wednesday!
Blurf. I got nuthin.
Hey Buttercup, good question. Hopefully we’ll have an answer here shortly…
Nested quotes? Is that what they do when they’re breeding? Can we expect to have baby quotes soon?
I’ve had a busy morning, we didn’t have snow yesterday as we were promised so the weather lady lied to me! It’s just cold and gloomy outside today. And I have a boring meeting to go to this afternoon because I have to do minutes. It’s a dry and boring meeting, I am not looking forward to it, mostly because it means an afternoon without a cup of tea. Monstrous!
