> [@SpazCat](#): > > Velveeta is an affront to both God and Man. I have spoken. I once felt so, too. Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) believes it may be used for cooking.

Ok, everyone has et and left includin’ OYKW ☹ cause I might have a case of the crud. Or a sinus infection. Hard to tell which at the moment. My haid is all stuffy and I have a stoopid cough. However, no fever, so who knows. I shall take some nighttime knockout liquid stuff in a while and see how I feel in the mornin’. Thus birthday “appreciation” is postponed. ICK! **flytrap** I have _real_ cheese not processed cheeselike substance that would survive bein’ nuked from outer space. Velveeta and cockroaches \ are what would survive. ---

Is Velveeta similar to/different from Cheez Whiz? My dad’s a Cheez Whiz aficionado. I can’t stand the stuff. Does the colour of Cheez Whiz even exist in nature? ---

The way I feel right now, I’ll either post here in the mornin’ or be in the morgue in the mornin’. ICK! Nitey Nite Y’all! ETA: **Midget** I think Cheez Whiz is Velveeta’s incestuous child. ---

Velvetta is solid, comes in a box, unlike cheeze-whiz that comes in a jar. There is a kiddie pizza franchise in the US, “Chuckie Cheese” with a mouse for a mascot/logo. I hope you are fortunate and they do not have them in Canada. Whenever I see Chuckie Cheese, Velvetta or Cheese Whiz, I think of…how shall I phrase this? I think of small children who have eaten far too much cheese in some form being violently ill. Perhaps I should challenge Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) to make something edible from Velveeta (however one spells it), but I digress. 🙂 ---

Sometimes I don’t know how Amazon makes money. I ordered some foam packing material a couple of days ago. Officemax wanted something like $72 for 700 square feet of foam sheets, but Amazon was offering four 900 foot rolls for $65. The insanity is that because I have Prime, they shipped the stuff in two days for free. I came home to find a box nearly as big as me that was shipped by UPS 2-day air. The UPS website says the retail rate for such a large box is over $500. :eek: Who spends $500 to ship something that costs $65? I wish they had a “no rush, ship it slow and knock ten bucks off” kind of option. ---

**{{{peedin}}}** Good morning! I’m posting from the parking lot of McDonald’s in the middle of Ohio where we stayed last night. We’re about an hour away from our destination, but once we got back to Ohio the roads got bad so we just decided to stop. Tomorrow we’ll be heading to PA and then probably back home and that will be the end of my vacation. I’ve certainly grown spoiled in having RT around everyday. I’m going to miss him next week. I hope you feel better today, **swampy.** ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. ‘Tis 43 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 53 and cloudy with rain comin’ in tonight, tomorrow, and possibly Sattidy. Rah. Anywho, I am at da cave. I shall irk from home today as I still feel ick. The worst is the stoopid cough. The nighttime knockout stuff helped as I slept really good for almost ten hours! I shall partake of some daytime stuff after I ingest some brekkie cause I have a feelin’ it’s a good idea to have food in one’s tummy first. So, I shall have some more caffiene and then some brekkie and daytime keep me awake stuff. Then I shall purtify. I think a good hot shower would also be a good thing. Thanks **StickyBuns**! Happy Thursday Y’all!
