My friend is Tony’s friend. I met Tony once, when the Mockers had a gig in midtown Manhattan in 1993. No, I wasn’t in his video.

They make it up with all the things that cost $2.50 to ship in 90 cents worth of stamp and envelope.

But I don’t pay for those either. Are there really that many people without Prime to make up the difference?
It’s like the old joke about “loss leaders” - We’re selling these so cheap that we’re actually losing money on them, but we make it up in volume!
Time for ugh…we joined a gym yesterday. If I can lose 20 pounds (or more) my spine will be happier. I’ve actually put on close to 50 pounds since the accident that mashed up my spine 15 years ago, but without bariatric surgery, I’m not sure I’d be able to lose that much.
Today’s task is to find gym shoes that fit my big feet. A store near here claims to have size 13 and 14 in stock, so I’m hopeful…
Ha! I know what you mean!
“May I help you find anything today?”
“Yes, I’m looking for shoes.”
“See anything you like?”
“Yes. What do you have in my size?”
“Oh, we have an extensive selection of every shoe here in every-”
“Do you have this in a 14?”
“Eh… let me…Eh… I’ll be right back”
…
“Okay, so I didn’t have that exact shoe in your size…”
Yeah, I know, I’ve done this before! Just bring all three pairs of shoes that fit me and I’ll decide if I want to buy one! Like I asked!
I recorded the episode “fly” during the Breaking Bad marathon, and it’s great and I love it and there are a lot of little parts I had forgotten about, but it makes me sad to think about how much I loved watching all these episodes the first time through and how I’ll never get to do that again.
The bad cough thing sounds like what I’m recovering from and DH is now coming down with (and he starts school on Monday. Eeep).
Off to work.
gotti, probably are that many.
My sinuses decided to hate me today. I took some dayquil stuff and all it did was keep me upright. I bet I have another sinus infection. Snarl hiss.
The shoe hunt has been successful. The store actually had some choices in 13 wide and even 14.
Swampy knows what they say about guys with big feet…
They wear big shoes
SEAN!!! And all this time I thought you’d had an, um, operation and came back as Seanette. What’s shaking??
I’ve got a caramel apple crumble pie in the oven - it smells yum!! It’s temporarily quiet - **FCD **has taken his folks to CVS to get a prescription. Shortly, I will feed Higglet and turn on a few lights.
So goeth the excitement that is my life. So glad tomorrow’s Firday - I’m ready for a weekend. And I’ll be going in late on Monday because I have a Dr appt at 7:30. Which reminds me - I need to find their new office.
Happy Thursday!!
A big ol’ galvanized tee broke on the plumbing of the trailer that I lived in with Mrs. Plant (v.2.0) , that Mrs. Plant (v.3.0) and I cleaned and renovated and are renting to Mrs. Plant (v.1.0).
What could go wrong?
A took off work and replaced it with ice and water falling out of the tree down my neck. Her email sounded as though she were in Great Distress.
She’s not sleeping there! Renting it for months, paying the utilities and for satellite TV, and she’s not sleeping over there!
Oye.
Flytrap you know that no good deed goes unpunished, right?

Hey, like I said, “What Could Go Wrong?”
:rolleyes:
So far as I know, I was born XX. 
Jesus Christ, Moses and Aaron on a stick, what have These People gotten me into? :smack:
[grouch mode] I’ll be glad when the in-laws are gone. There are new Colbert Reports and Daily Shows and we can’t watch because of them. Dammit. I’ll have to catch up on line after they’re gone. [/grouch mode]
I’m tired. C’mon Firday!!!
I’m XX, often mistaken for XY. Hrmph.
If you have that chromosome with the missing thingie, try, “It is my fault, Dear, and I am sorry.”
Mrs. Plant (v. 2.0) bought it for years.
I can honestly say I have never been mistaken for XY
People call me “sir” and “mister” and “monsieur” fairly often. Drives me nuts.
I don’t hate men. I like men! It’s just that I’m not one.
I’ve been mistaken for male a few times on the phone, usually when I had a bad cold that altered my voice. Can’t recall getting that mistake in person.
DH has been mistaken for female (or for about twelve) on the phone.
Mister nette has been mistaken for twelve females? :eek:
