Nice OP. I’ve also been wondering about the\*\* FCM\*\* family and their boat. I hope everything is okay. Stomach woes forced me to stay home from work today. I thought about forcing myself to go in, but one too many trips to kneel in front of the toilet put the kibosh on that. I’m still feeling icky, but at least I haven’t had to make a trip to the bathroom in the last 30 minutes. I could go in still, I suppose, but by the time I shower, drive out there and find parking, the workday would be more than half over anyway. I’ll just use the sick leave and go in feeling 100% tomorrow. **Bobbio,** have you heard from **FCM?** ---

I just texted her, but I don’t know if the number I have for her is current. ---

I haven’t heard anything from the **FairyChats** , but I’m at irk. She’s in a part of the county more prone to tree damage, and there’s been reports of new phone and power outages as the clean up crews hit the lines clearing trees. Or, they could be out on the Chesapeake Bay because the day is gorgeous and the winds not contributing to chop on the water. If I had a choice, that’s where I’d be… ---

Freud hell – I follow Skinner and I’m having a field day with that one! A call for action upon the Rules Committee ---- Is Janis or Nava first? Janis is first first but that was under an assumed identity/forum. Nava was first in the proper place. Is a Thunderdome called for in this circumstance? Irene update - missed me altogether but some of the kinfolk in the Endless Mountains and Poconos got slightly nailed. Everyone seems to have weathered it fine. ---

Whew! I’m glad to hear **Moooooom** is ok! Thanks **DoRoBo** for checking and letting us know. I hope your tummy is feeling better soon, **Tots**! Few things get my sympathy like a bad back. May yours be back to normal soon, **rosie**! Congrats on coming in first, **janis inc.**! Sorry I missed it initially. It was early and I really wanted to be sleeping! Sounds like you had a nice weekend, **lilacequinefootwear**. I had a nice weekend too. Good to know there’s lots of that going 'round! I hope your new coffee-maker gives you as many years as the old one, **Lance**. Coffee’s one of the most important parts of my Monday (and Tuesday, and Wednesday, and…) Well off to make supper. Looks like it’ll be a Bri2k-burger with cheese and maybe BBQ or horseradish sauce, maybe both. I’ve got cheese crackers for the side dish and a veritable rainbow of pie flavors for dessert. Time to plug in the Foreman grill. Bri2k ---

Hey… Anyone remember me? I don’t remember how long it’s been since I posted in the **MMP** , so to summarize; a nasty divorce, a wonderful surprise, a huge relocation (including 8 dogs and 2 cats!), overwhelming readjustment to civilization, an impulsive jump back into gardening in the real world, a new guy in my life, and it’s all finally seeming to fall into place. Which generally means watch out, the rug is about to be yanked out from under my feet again. :eek: So I am back where I started, in a little podunk town up the I5 corridor from **Taters**. My Mom and step-dad live a mile and a half up the hill from me, and my Dad and step-mother are just a ways north from me. This is a Good Thing. So, without further ado: nice OP **time dog** , **doggio** lucidity is overrated, happiness is the goal, feel better thoughts to **rosie** and **Taters** , cool thoughts to **rebo** and general Happy Monday to all in general! Now it is the fourth birthday of August, and I have yet another cake to make and gifts to wrap. Too many friken birthdays for one month! Le sigh… off to make a chocolate cake with raspberry filling and chocolate ganache. At least it’s cool enough so the cake won’t melt! 😃 ---

MMmmmmm Cake! 😃 **Wifey** has informed me that she is making ckickie boobs stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese for dinner tonight. 🙂 Says she got it from Weight Watchers. I am also informed that #2GrandSon, (the 7 yo), will be joining us for dinner. This should be interesting. Hugs, gropes, wet salmon, etc all around. ---

We’re having hot dogs with Wolf Brand® chili, leftover macaroni salad, and leftover pinto beans. Plus I bought a pineapple upside-down cake. Yum! Easy peasy dinner after dying of heat stroke all day… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-fog-of-war-mmp/594466.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-fog-of-war-mmp/594466.md?page=3)
