I will never be a retiree as I can’t afford to stop working, ever. At irk now but I have to travel to the mother base and make a credit card purchase for an application. An application for 60K from the Tourist Development Commission for the Blue Angels Air Show, The Southernmost Spectacular, next April. The fee to download the application is $5.00. We had a shipmate commit suicide last week and I have a big sad about that. Have a great day all. **Moooommmm** I will be thinking about FCD. Hope it all goes well for him. ---

If I could get up earlier, I’d have more time to work on my music arrangements. Getting up earlier can require coffee. Getting coffee requires money. I can get more money if I spend more time on my music arrangements. If I could get up earlier, I’d have more time… etc. (Or I could just temporarily stop nuttering around online and actually get back to work on my music. 🙂 ) Oh and **swampy,** I await you return. ---

Happy Toosday! See I am here although not for long as I head out for the armpit, oh joy and happiness. We had a nasty thunderstorm last night, well, ok not too nasty but we still had one. It’s a sunny 53 right now, so not a bad day. I need to change into warmer clothes. I know it’s TMI but I don’t care right now. Y’all know I have bleeding issues which is why I am going to be gutted like a fish in June to have the offensive parts removed and the other parts inspected. I take pills to stop the bleeding but whenever I get stressed I have to up the dose. Never fails, every time I have to go to the armpit I have to up the dose. Easter was so bad I though I might not be able to leave the house. I know my mother is lonely, but I can take only so much. Good luck **FCD** {{{ **Butters** }}} ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > you are _not_ the only retiree! So _pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbtt_ on you! OK, I’m the only retiree who gets up before the crack of noon! 😛 😃 My sweetie is home and snoozing. He’s starving but he can’t eat till after the surgicals. Poor baby - walked into the house that smells of fresh 'nanner bread!! But he can have all he wants when he gets home, so there’s that. The dryer should be done in about half an hour, then I can get it all folded. I’ll still have plenty of time to get dressed, since going to the surgery center in a robe and slippers would be too tacky, especially since I’m not a patient. I do have some class after all. \*\*sari \*\*- your stress was supposed to ease when you moved. bummer. ---

I posted last night that his priest said he’s fine and he’d pass on our concern. He didn’t share any more details and I didn’t ask. Just glad to know he’s not in traction or in jail. ---

My stress is less here **FCM** I need to learn to tune my mother out and stop letting her get to me. We got into a fight yesterday because she keeps trying to cram religion down my throat, this from the woman who never went to church or had a religious bone in her body until she got a Christian bf. Then all of a sudden she has been a good Christian her entire life, and she made a big mistake allowing us to be raised Catholic - by the father who did go to church, and then I get to hear her rail against the Catholic Church and how if I had been brought up in the right church, well my life would be so much better don’t you know. If only I had been brought up in the right church I would have married a wealthy man and live in a McMansion with the white picket fence with kids like like my cousin Lori’s who have short hair and look so nice and went to college and one was even a missionary in China and they are not shy at all, they are such nice boys. If leaps of illogic were an Olympic sport my mother would take the gold. That was after her comment about how she is so sorry I didn’t inherit her genes because she can eat whatever she wants and never gain an ounce, in fact she has been losing weight and no matter what she does she just can’t gain a few pounds. Unfortunately I inherited my father’s genes and even when I was skinny I still had their fat thighs. Then she wonders why I never call her. I Keep telling myself she is old, she is not going to be around too much longer, I need to be patient with her, she’s lonely, she can’t help herself. I know I should visit her and Sah-son needs to spend time with her but damn it’s hard. ---

**FCM** hope all goes well with **FCD** ’s surgery today. **Butters** sorry about your shipmate. **Sari** hugs for the medical stuff. It’s no fun. By the time I got to the MMP last night, it was 10:30. I was gonna post “last”, but I ran outta energy by the time I read everything. My first new hire started yesterday! Yay! I can start off-loading some work. It feels very strange, but I will get used to it, somehow. Next week, Lost Wages for a a global sales conference. First week in May my next new hire. :eek: And while I’m in Lost Wages, my MIL will be here the whole week, to visit my son before his birthday. It’s tragic that I’m missing so much of her visit. Tragic.;). And my daughter is going to Science Camp the whole week. Busy week Chez Sunny. More later. Best wishes to **Swampy** should he check in. ---

**ruble** , that pool poodle looks ticked enough to bite. Better stick with the noodles. 😛 **butters** , I’m sorry for your loss. **Mooom** , I hope everything goes well with FCD’s surgery. It’s a nice, productive day today. Much better than slow or covered up. 🙂 ---

Iffn he was in jail, we could close down the MMP & open up a TAP or WAP (Tues/Wed Afternoon Post), whenever he makes bail. Ooohhh, that’s a good idea for next week’s MMP - the Jail MMP. 1.) Which mumpers would you not/be surprised if ended up in the pokey? 2.) Which mumpers would you not/bail out? - Jokes are allowed since he’s been reported fine. ---

It would not surprise me if **Bobbio** , **Spidey** or **kopek** ended up in a holding cell; almost everyone else \*would \*be a surprise. I would bail out almost every single one of you. I’ll leave it to your imagination as to whom I’d let sit until trial. ---
