I was not aware that ‘snot’ was a color choice. Ignorance fought.
Alien snot is indeed a color choice. Just please use a tissue. 
Ok, so teh stoopid is not quite over yet. I have someone who applied who is ineligible due to income. The woman gets $6500 a month retirement income!
She is very upset and wants to appeal the decision. This should be entertainin’. I told her how to appeal the decision. I shall now await TPTB to call me just to tell me the decision is upheld. The real test will be if TPTB can tell this woman the same news (ok, it’ll be in writin’) with a straight face.
Teh stoopid, it burns!
I’m home from school now, before going out to a rehearsal tonight.
I browsed the Dope at school but didn’t have much to say.
Working on some music arranging before going out again.
Bleech! The calibration lab just dumped two weeks of billing packages on my desk. Guess I’ve got something to do for the rest of the day now.
Meeting with an old shipmate of mine tonight. He and I went through some school together and then were both assigned to the same ship back in the '80s. I stayed in for twenty, he got out after one tour in 1989. Haven’t seen him since then. So I got that going for me.
And tomorrow morning my crazy sister-in-law is coming into town for the weekend. She’s bringing her husband (which is very rare). The guy and I have almost nothing in common, so I’m not sure how to keep him entertained while the girls do all of their sister stuff.
Have a good weekend, y’all.
OK, what if you only had enough money for *either *beer *or *TP but not both - which do you choose?? :dubious:
$6500 monthly retirement income? That’s more than twice what I get! What did this woman retire from?
Oh yeah, I’m home. I’ve got a load of jeans in the washer, and a load of whites will follow. **FCD **is on the train and he said it was pretty crowded, so he’s not happy. But he’ll be home shortly after 7 tomorrow morning, so yay!
And he gets points for putting the key to the basement on my key ring. Somehow when I left this morning, I managed to lock the door between the house and the garage, locking myself out. But thanks to my sweetie, I was able to get in thru the basement, thereby avoiding broken glass on the kitchen floor. We need to do something about the garage door lock…
Happy Firday! So glad this week is done!!
Well, forgive me, but beer is also good for cleaning things.
I expect a few beer drinkers here are gonna flog you for suggesting such a wasteful use of their favorite quaff…
I forgot that you have been in the Navy; you cannot be grossed out. 
MOOOOOOM that would be no problem. I’d buy the tp and OYKW would buy the beer! Problem solved! 
Speakin’ of OYKW, he shall be along shortly. He’s stoppin’ to swipe the General’s dindin. He got a gnawin’ and a cravin’. Plus aig drop soup and aigrolls. YUM!
yummy chinese for dinner later. I’ll have to share with Smokey, but that’s okay.

We get all kinds of horrible colors here.
Snot
Bile
Puke
Vomit
Blood
Pus
Phlegm
Crap
Boogers
Spit
Barf
Less shocking than I expected. I don’t remember the exact process, but it’s something to do with the hex value of the word vs how browsers render RGB values in hex to colors.
Dang - now I want Chinese for supper. I just don’t feel like going out, and as far as I know, no one delivers. Dammit. 
Move to Lawn Guylindt. Everyone here delivers. Chinese, Greek, Sushi, Indian, Deli. Go to GrubHub.com. There must be a place near you that deleivers.
I’m going to make sweet and sour chicken with tempura batter tonight.
I will not be thinking of you.
**rosie **- go to google maps and input Helen, MD. Look at the satellite view. Notice how far that is from ANYTHING!! No one delivers here, except a PapaJohn’s that’s 6 miles away, and a local pizza joint that’s 8 miles away. That’s it. In fact, I don’t think the 2 closest Chinese places deliver anyway.
I could never live in an area that spread out. I’d go nuts if things weren’t just a phone call away
I actually prefer it. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a row house with a postage-stamp yard. But I do like the peace and solitude of the boonies. Except when I want Chinese food delivered. So I had a chicken sammich and some Moose Tracks ice cream. That’ll have to do for tonight. <deep sad sigh of resignation>
Well, that was an adventure. We went and changed a tire for JDD’s brother and thing that lives with him (ttlwh). By way of backstory, JDD’s father in in a nursin’ home and his mother lives by herself in large and in charge Parrott, Jawja. JDD and Partner are up at the mom’s this weekend to stay with her. JDD’s brother who is retired (medical) stays with her most of the time but a couple times a month JDD and Partner stay the weekend to give him a break. So that’s this weekend. Now back to the story.
JDD called and said his brother had just called and that he and ttlwh have a flat tire and neither one of them can change said tire. This is for reals, as neither one of them can do anything that is even remotely mechanical in nature. JDD asked if we would go to the rescue as they had already told his mom they would take her to Dawson to see his father at the nursin’ home. Thus, OYKW and I take off to where they are stranded, at the Busy Elves Tree Farm just inside Terrell County, Jawja, which is about twenty miles from da cave. We get there and JDD’s brother and ttlwh (can y’all tell we don’t like ttlwh?) proceed to sit in OYKW’s vehicle while we change the tire! HARUMPH!!! They could have at least stood out there while we changed the dang thing. Anywho we got it done and got 'em on their way to JDD’s brother’s place. Oh and no thanks or anything from either one of 'em.
After we got done I talked to JDD to let him know and told him what they did. I have a feelin’ he will be havin’ a few choice words with his brother and ttlwh.
We did, however, manage to wolf down the Genera’ls dindin before we left so there’s that.
I love my five acres in the woods, even if it only has a trailer on it. Owls, hawks, bunnies, raccoons, opossums and the occasional armadillo. The latter dig up things newly planted, looking for worms and bugs.
We live in a city, and hear the neighbor’s screaming larvae, his Panzer tank truck, AT SIX AM I’M GOING TO KILL…but I digress… and noisy teen girls across the street.
Hearing trains at night is kind of cool, though. 
I don’t think anyone would want to hear what’s going on here tonight. I had bean soup for lunch. 'nuff said. :eek: Guess it’s a good thing I didn’t save it for tomorrow’s lunch.
Two loads of laundry are done and stowed, and the third is in the dryer, to be removed and folded in about 20 minutes. I’ve got a chicken carcass boiling on the stove. I’m thinking the broth will become part of chickie and dumplin’s this weekend. (The ’ is in place of the g, so don’t give me crap about it! :p) Before I go to bed, I’ll need to load the dishwasher and do a quick tidy. Tomorrow, I must be on the road by 6 - I need to stop and fuel up the car before heading to DC. I also have to remember to get the GPS out of the truck. I’ve driven to Union Station twice, but I like the insurance of the GPS, just in case I have to detour. Driving in DC is no fun even at the best of times.
swampy, you’re a good guy, and it sounds like JDD’s bro is a real piece of work. Frankly, I think part of the test to get a license should be demonstrating that you can change a tire… in the rain… and cold… uphill, both ways!
