We were compelled to go to DQ for dessert. 😃 And so endeth our week. Two of my rose bushes appear to have died. I’m going to go get a couple of replacements tomorrow. Plus I’m going to get some brats. On Tues, I’ll smoke 2 meatloaves and the brats. That’s as far as I’ve planned for the week. But it’s a start. Speaking of start - have we a volunteer to start us tomorrow? Anyone?? 😃 _ **MWAH!** _ ---

> [@missred](#): > > **Emily** , I sing a low alto or tenor. In a women’s quartet, I’m usually the bass, in women’s choir, tenor. Since we’re doing mixed choir this month, I’ll either sing second alto or tenor, depending on which guys perform with us. I have a low voice too. Though recently, my lower notes tend not to be as secure. My voice range has always been somewhat small and weird. ---

**BigKitty** I am not dissin’ WH. WH has been the place for many drukene feasts in the wee hours of the mornin’. The real class however is Three Squares Diner, located just across the street from WH. We were headed to Three Squares when OYKW suddenly said, “Waffle House! I want me a pee-kahn waffle and some bacon!” So there we went. **doggio** Ashville slugs are indeed used to the finer micro brews. 😃 ---

Back from deheathenation, playing “tour the leftovers” as far as feeding myself. Homework due tonight. Grrr. (The class itself is fine, but 9pm Sunday as a due time? Why not 11 or midnight like a normal professor?) ---

Hi Everybody! It’s been a nice, lazy, kitty-snugglin’ Sunday for me. Made a loaf of bread for the week ahead (sammiches for work lunches mmmm) and also a big batch of pie crust for snacking on. Why yes, I do make pie crust without making pie… one of my fave snacks. Tonight’s pie crust was Parmesan flavor instead of cinnamon sugar. Supper is going to be pancakes & snausages… because I’m lazy, and I like breakfast at night. 😃 ---

So interestingly, having discussed it with my doctor and ophthalmologist, I find I am prone to migraine type vision distortion called [aura](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aura_%28symptom%29). Fortunately without the headache that is normally associated with a migraine. Finishing up one now, had it for the last 45 minutes. One benefit of the event is I think it mimics my father’s macular degeneration, which allows me to empathize more. Glad I’m not working right now. Quieter in Baltimore tonight. ---

I used to drink IPA back in the day. Tomorrow will be a big day. Working on my music arrangement and going out to a recital. Maybe even having more than one coffee, if I’m lucky. 😛 ---

Choir practice went swimmingly. We’re an octect with a ninth as a lead singer this month. Two each SATB and I’m one of the tenors. We also rehearsed a SATB arrangement of last month’s song _We Will Rock You_. My part has changed all to hell, so I’m having to unlearn the women’s version and learn a new part. We were throwing out names for our group and I suggested the Organic 'Nanners, just because we’re all a little bananas. 😛 ---

**missred** , is there a Sweet Adelines chorus near you? I think you’d enjoy singing Barbershop. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-accentless-mmp/718098.md?page=15)
