[QUOTE=Lissla Lissar] Attacks Husband just phoned me to say “Bactrian”. Several weeks ago we couldn’t remember what non-dromedary camels were called. That was almost the whole conversation. I picked up, and someone said “Bactrian”. Is it just me, or is that a little surreal? [/QUOTE] Well, I read that as “Bacitracin”, so now I am picturing you slathering an antibiotic ointment on a camel! I think I need more sleep. If any of you can find out stuff on the book, _The Phantom Tollbooth_ I would be most appreciative. I have been fighting the univeristy online catalogue and it is winning. Big. Taking my pummeled self to bed now. Get to work like a dog tomorrow! Tra la! Ain’t life grand… ---

oh, and, not that you know anyone but me in [these pics](http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/63166.59206792088), but this is what we did last night instead of just rehearse. the spots on some of the pics, I found out recently, are dust particles lit up by the flash of the camera. They’re real hard to remove without spoiling the photo. Oh well. ---

Cool pics, **rosie**. Looks like everyone had fun. Why am I still awake. I got sleepy there for a while, but then I woke up again. I’m hoping I can at least sleep in a bit in the morning. GT ---

So, studying yesterday with the two ladies was fun (the same two girls with which I hiked the day before). We went over a bunch of stuff from classical mechanics using questions from old qualifying exams. It was a nice warmup, but the studying begins in earnest today. Yeah. My life is so exciting. Envy me. :o **rosie** , great pics! I liked all the different groups, especially Goldilocks and the Seven (!?) Bears. Hehe. ---

Bad **Bobbio**! 😃 Welcome to grad school, **Spats**. I really don’t miss it. But it’s important, so get studying! I’m up and trying to decide what to do with the day. I want to work in the garden some and also need to get some work work done (I’m contemplating actually going in, but I hate going downtown on weekends if I can help it). I also want to continue the indoor cleaning jag. I have a few things left upstairs and would love to get started on the basement. Guess I’ll start with breakfast though… GT ---

**rigs** , what do you want to know about _The Phantom Tollbooth_? It’s a kid’s novel written by Norton Juster about a boy named Milo who doesn’t care about anything until someone sends him a very large box lable “1 Phantom Tollbooth”. It’s a fun story. Dinner was good, and I just got up and should put the kettle on. ---

Happy Satiddy all! I came online to check my bank balance before going to the stow and here I sit an hour later. :dubious: Sapphires are my birthstone, too. Yay alla us September babies! I don’t usually care for them cause jewelers usually encase them in diamonds. I DID see one pendant that was only channel set square sapphires in an open heart design that was really cool. I have a lovely diamond wedding ring set that has a center one-karat diamond and 16 surrounding smaller diamonds. Looks like it should be three rings but is only two. I lurve it much. You gals looking forward to 40 should know that 50 is even more fun. I’m wondering about 60 myself. 😕 I got all my housework done yestiddy while the AC guys were here putting in the new Trane. It’s very _cool_. 😉 Get it? 😃 I gotta go to the liberry too so I better git. Have a good one! ---

**Rosie** , your cat is adorable. She looks downright peeved in some of those pics, though. Almost as if some annoying human had been shoving a camera in her face for hours. Weird. :dubious: 😛😃 ---

**Rose** you know, of course, that now your cat is just looking for the right opportunity to kill you. You have annoyed him/her and will have to pay with your life. Cats are always thinking about how to kill people. It’s a fact. The photos of your party were jake. Especially the ladies playing kazoo. I’m a fool for a song that involves a kazoo. I have been productive! I ironed. YAY ME!!! ---

Good morning everyone and Happy Saturday. I woke up very early this morning, but went back to bed. I got my sorry butt up for real around 7:30. So I went to Costco last night and spent more than I wanted, and, I didn’t find the one thing I went there for. So, today, I have to go back out to find a messenger bag for the son. Plus, I need to stop at the regular grocery store and purchase ground italian sasuage (sweet), because I’m making skettis tonight for dinner. My daughter is cleaning right now. I woke up and she was CLEANING! Some friend of her’s is coming over around 11:00. She’s not particularly thrilled about him coming over, but she doesn’t want to hurt his feelings. Sometimes, she’s too nice for her own good. I’m all curious about **Mama Tiger’s** surprise for **FCM.** I’m just all nosy I guess. Much sympathy to those with owies. I don’t have drugs, but I do have some Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum and Jaegermeister. Will that help? I need to get some coffee. I’m not awake. ---

Actually, I’m not a big fan of Jaegermeister. It tastes like medicine. In fact, the bottle isn’t even open yet. The hubby can tell you ALL about paying with interest. He had a bad experience with it. You’d think he’d learn. ---

Nice kitty pics, **rosie** ; Smokey is a pretty kitty. I’m curious, too, **Taters**. Hope we don’t have to wait all the way till Monday to find out what it was… Glad to hear the fun continues, **Puggy**. I’ve got just over a year till I’m 50 and that just seems odd. I know it’s just a number, but it doesn’t seem like a number that fits, yet. I have done nothing. Well, I talked to my brother for a while. And I cruised the net. Now I’m going to do something in 3D-world… Really. GT ---

I forgot to tell **Rosie** that I like her pictures. I once had a dog named Smokey. He was called that because he looked like smoke. Some asshole poisoned him when I was in elementary school. He was a good dog and I still miss him. I keep doing stuff like that. I think I need to start writing stuff down so I can remember to address it when I post. I’ve found out we need to buy toilet parts. Something is screwy with the flapper thingie. So, this of course will be added to my errand list today. So, much for a nice, RELAXING weekend. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get to relax. ---
