Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. Actually caffienated and all purtified even! 'Tis 61 Amurrkin and cloudy/rainyish out with a predicted high of around 75 for the day. Where we’re headed, the high for the day will be 57 with rain. Loverly. OOOOOOH!!! JDD and Partner called to say they’re up and gettin ’ ready and SWEAR they’ll be here by six o’clock. So my prediction stands that we leave by seven-thirty. 😃 > [@carnivorousplant](#): > > My back hurts. > Time for tramadol, a glass of wine and a hot bath. > I’ll practice for Purim. > 🙂 Serves you right for doin’ all those cartwheels over your dp points. 😛 **nettie** I present to you the [Celebrity Death Pool](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=674062), the sickest thread on the Dope. Just so you know, my list of immortals are all much better now. I am the Angel of Life. Get on my CDP list and you live forever! OK, need to go put cold stuffs in the cooler now. Most especially beerverages. As I told OYKW, JDD and Partner, if I haven’t thrown their asses out on the trip up already, I’m gonna need a beerverage FIRST THING when we get there after puttin’ up with ‘em and drivin’. 😃 So I will see all you happy Mumpers sometimes Monday evenin’. Happy Firday Y’all! Be good! No feet on the furniture. Don’t use coasters. BYE Y’ALL! ---

So much for sleeping in… My bladder woke me twice overnight, and then the dog got up. \*\*FCD \*\*either didn’t hear her or was ignoring her, so I took her out at 4, hoping she’d pee then go back to sleep. HAH! She whined and yipped till I let her out at 5. She’s been fed and she’s tormenting Taz. I’ve done the dishes, cleaned the cat box, brushed my teeth, and now I’m caffeinating. I was really counting on a good night’s sleep, silly me. Plans for today are pretty much: stay awake. I may do something silly like dust or try to bring order to my yarn stash. I hadn’t made any plans beyond sleeping in, and we see how that went. Stoopit dog. Happy Firday anyway! Gatlinburg, BEWARE!!! :eek: 😃 ---

swampy, I’m watching you! If I hear of any untoward activities, I will be over there to school you in how to act while on vacation! You put ice in that cooler with those beerverages first thing, Mister! Right now, before you do anything else! It’s raining today and I’m still sore. I also forgot to turn the heater under the window back on last night so my plants were chilly this morning. ---

Was planning to be terribly healthy today, and go swimming (something I can rarely do due to dodgy skin). Got to the pool, only to find the fire alarm was going off, and everyone was stood outside being wet and very chilly. You’d think if there was one place you wouldn’t be too worried about fires, it’d be the pool, right? Maybe I’ll try a different pool, maybe I shall just sit at home and be warm… last week’s ‘spring’ was definitely a false alarm. Brr. ---

Got a fishie clinging to life, or at least recovering from a near-death experience. I’ve been able to get him to at least go from leaning to one side and drifting backwards to sitting upright on the bottom. I think my wallet just had a near-death experience as well. Went to the health insurance website to confirm what they’d paid to someone so I could pay the rest, and there’s a pending claim for nearly $7,000. :eek: I know how slow hospital billing departments are, so I’m pretty sure there will be much, much more to come. At least we’re early enough in the year to assess other health issues and get them handled once we fly past the out of pocket maximum. ---
