The Happy, Happy MMP

How much chocolate did you send her? :dubious:

I thought of your description of Gordon from last year, lieu, when I read it was the anniversary. :frowning:

Hugs.

Worked in the garden, have surfed and run errands and read. Am now going to irk for a bit.

Hugs all.

I have a crabber today!! And he’s just 8 miles away, so an easy monitoring, I hope. He offloads at home after driving from a ramp somewhere, so the timing will be tricky, I think. No biggie - I’ll toss my bag of knitting into the car and await his return. I’ve googled his address but from the satellite pics, I couldn’t find a house with a boat, so I’m guessing he keeps it in a barn or a shed, since the photo was taken in the winter. Anyway, hope I have better luck than Firday - I don’t want to be sitting in the sun for 2 hours for no reason.

It’s possible I could get another crabber, depending on time and place. We shall see how today goes. I may try to mow this morning since we’re 50-50 for rain today and the grass is fairly high. Other than that, no real plans.

I think Higlet is better - no more messes in the house, and she’s certainly acting normal. She’ll still get rice-n-eggs today, then tomorrow, I’ll add back a bit of kibbles. I swear, sometimes critters is worse than babbehs!!

C’mon rain!!! And Happy Sunday!!

Happy Sunday!

It’s a sunny 73 degrees outside with a projected high of 89. I’m opening my window for a while and getting a little fresh air in here.

Sah-dog is being a PITA this am. I got up and saw that Sah-son was up so I told the dog to go get Sah-son to put him out. So he goes to get Sah-son, makes him get up and walk to the door then refuses to go out. He won’t come back to the bedroom with me, instead he makes Sah-son let him in my room. Not two minutes later he wants to go out, so now I had to go put him out.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s getting senile, he likes to play games or if because I give better treats.

Haven’t made up my mind on which house I want to put an offer in on.
I’m pretty sure it’s going to be the rancher.

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 75 Amurrkin out with fog rollin’ in and a bit misty. We have a fifty percent chance of rain/tstorms/apocalypse today. Like MOOOOOOM I also need to [del]bale hay[/del] mow but probably won’t have a chance.

{{{lieu}}} I too remember your tribute to Gordon.

flytrap yes, there are gray and gay rednecks. Spidey I shall leave details to your imagination. :stuck_out_tongue:

MOOOOOOM glad Higgs is on the mend, poor baby.

Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then purtification for deheathenization must commence at some point.

Happy Sunday Y’all!

I need some convincing:

This evening is my chorus’ 50th Anniversary Bash - big shindig. I’m not sure I want to go

There is a phrase from the Late Unpleasantness, “When you’re fighting Yankees, a redneck is your best friend.”
:slight_smile:

I’ve never been to a high school reunion, if that helps.

my reasons for not going are selfish. I’m lazy. But I already bought a ticket.

Then you have to go! It’ll be fun!

Rosie: If you don’t go, you’ll never know how it went.

I got up late, but I was out late with friends last night. We wandered around at a couple of festivals, and then we went to a bar to meet up with some other friends. Great times :smiley:

Waiting for my crabber. I misread the message so I’m here half an hour early. It’s so hard to be me… :slight_smile:

sure I will. They’re all on facebook and I’ll see them at rehearsal later this week
eta - I think my insides are making the decision for me - they’re misbehaving and acting up and having to visit the euphemism every half hour is going to put a damper on the festivities for me

Well, you still have time to decide, rosie.

There’s a bunch of stuff I should do today. Let’s see if I can get a quarter of it done.

Enjoying my day off. I had bacon, egg and cheese burritos for brunch.

rosie, awwww. maybe the insides will act normal by go time.

sari, previous roomie’s dog insisted I do his dog walks. Hard to refuse a slimy dog to in the face at 0530.

Yay for Higgs!

I left HS a year early when I found out I could just go to summer school after Junior year and take a couple of state mandated courses to meet my graduation requirements - I’d already been accepted to college. Hehehe. Later turd brains.

Now technically that meant that I ‘graduated’ with the previous Senior year class except they got their diplomas in June and I didn’t get mine until August. Theirs was accompanied by a grand ceremony with proud parents while mine involved a lonely but no less dignified walk down abandoned hallways, outside to the waiting ‘arms’ of my '66 Chevy with 250 engine and 2 speed PowerGlide transmission.

Anyway, I always assumed that I never got invited to any of the reunions because I’d fallen through the cracks as a result but I think that this must have pissed some people off. Don’t know why though. I wasn’t the only one and it’s not like it was even my idea. I did think everyone else was stupid for not doing it, but hey, if you want to waste . . . errr, I mean ‘spend’ another year of your life fucking around with same losers you’ve been plagued with since grammar school, I can certainly see how that would be desirable.

However while still under the misapprehension that the omission was unintentional, I crashed the 10th anniversary reunion of the class I should have properly graduated with. It was pretty funny too because I happened to live nearby and since they were too cheap to have a bona fide shindig, they held it at one of the town’s parks so I figured I’d ride my bike. FYI: nothing spells loser to your classmates like hiring a Kiss cover band to follow you there and play the song “Lonesome Loser” (by Little River Band) than riding your bike to a HS reunion.

It was however a life reaffirming experience. People never change and you can always expect the worst from them.

I’ve never been to a HS reunion either.
That part of my live was over a long time ago.

I could have graduated my junior year, I had all the credits I needed (thanks to my best friend in HS loving English and talking me into taking 2 English classes in 10th grade) but it was such a hassle I said screw it and took one class my senior year.

Just got off the phone with Best Buy and it is such a annoyance.
First I almost didn’t answer the phone because I thought it was one of those bullshit telemarketer calls but since I am in a nasty mood I figure that is someone I can cuss out and not feel bad about it.
Turns out is was a legit call and my bank declined their monthly charge for the maintenance plan on my phone.
If I cancel the maintenance plan I can’t get it back and I need to let them know my updated data so they can take out the payment.
I just went through this with them last month. For whatever reason Best Buy is sending the payment through twice, it gets taken out of my account twice and then it straightens itself out and only one payment comes out. Best Buy denies they are doing this and I suppose next month I will have to take screen shots of when it is happening.

I guess this month the bank saw the duplicate charge and declined both of them. So tomorrow I will have to call the bank.

I don’t know what the hell BB’s problem is. I’ve been paying this maintenance for years with no problem. The screw up is on their end, but of course I am the one who will have to fix it.

Assholes!

I’m studying an Icelandic folk song while waiting for the laundry to finish.

Yikes. I’d accidentally turned the caps lock on, and didn’t realize it at first while typing this post, so I almost accidentally yelled the whole post.

My family is going on a month-long vacation at the end of July. I am looking forward to spending 4 uninterrupted weeks with my husband and our 6-year-old son, who is still young enough to be excited about hanging with mom and dad.

Delta I now have an image, burned into my brain, of 70’s era Kiss playing “lonesome loser”. That is funnier to me that 100 SHARKS in Swampy’s pool.

Flytrap, Spidey, I assume you both have made potato cannons. I propose a revision to the plan. Instead of putting the SHARKS directly into Swampy’s pool, I say we build a SHARK cannon and send them in from a safe distance. They will be playing “it’s raining Men” on the stereo and it will be raining SHARKS, teach em’ for swimming nekkid and we do not have to see any of it. Better?

Happy Sunday all

Jim
