Have you tried the new Strawberry Starburst flavor? It is a very close second to Swedish Fish. 
They actually give nutritional information!
I thought that was a position in the Kama Sutra where she rides towards him on a gazelle carrying fruit as he sits on a lazy Boy ™ recliner reciting lines from Iron Butterfly. 
flytrap, I’m thinking maybe you’d better cut back on the caffeine…
**FCD **called - he said he learned a lot in his air brush lesson. Mainly, he has to practice, practice, practice… And he needs a better airbrush. But he’s excited to come home and work on the things he was taught. WIth luck, he’ll be home at a reasonable time tomorrow evening.
Except the stoopit Check Engine light came on in the car. I think he should get it checked before starting a 800-mile trip - just in case. We shall see what he does.
The day was going well until the fucking thunderstorm. Grrrr. The power went out and I couldn’t use the computer.:rolleyes:
Good news: at work today, I got free passes to the zoo my sister and I were going to go to anyway. Yay!
Time to assume the position. Much was accomplished today, but now I just wanna chill.
MWAH!!
Oh, you’re right, it’s the Grateful Dead.
Sorry about that.
Howdy Y’all! Home from men’s night over to the church house. ‘Twas wunnerful as usual. We had a good sized group tonight which surprised me bein’ with the change in night and all. Good food. Good people, Good beerverages. [del]The usual lot of bs.[/del] A good time was had by all. As a bonus, four of us took it upon ourselves to have a read the expiration dates on stuff in the church house fridge and toss out anything past expiration or gave us the willies. One of us bein’ the Senior Warden of the Vestry gave us special powers when it came to the willies thing. 
Anywho, the church house fridge is now clean of all expired and willie producin’ stuff.
As to the interview today. Ummmmmmmm… no. If’n you ask me for any upfront money even as “deposit on proprietary equipment” well… ain’t gonna happen. I mentioned it to one of my contacts at the local Jawja Department of Labor who gave a :dubious: when I told him. He is doin’ a little investigation into this organization. Maybe I done some good today with this. Who knows. Anywho, I asked him about another work from home possibility I am curious about and he says he’s never heard anything bad and that they have operated pretty successfully in this area as well as nationally. We shall see.
As to everyone else, yays, boos, hugs, woohoos, awwwws, trouts, noogies, chitlins, appropriate/inappropriate appendages, how you doin’s as needed all around.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
ETA: Oh yeah, as to the interview today. I responded via email after my “offer of employment” that I was not at all interested, that I am very much skeptical of any place that asks for “up front money” for employment, that I have mentioned this practice to the local Department of Labor for investigation, and to inform them that any further correspondence will go direct to my spam folder and will be forwarded to the GDOL for use in their investigation. Reckon they might be a little P.O.ed at me and not respond? Reckon I was a little harsh?
Sort of like being an Office of the Illuminati?
I wonder how much longer my mother will be in the psych ward.
Day is done
(gone the sun)
and I don’t remember the rest of the words.
Swampy harsh? Not our Swampy.
Midget it’s gotta suck right now.
I’m sleepy, pet sitting is over as my client came home early. So lots of irk tomorrow and looking at more houses Friday.
So much shit going on.
One of my friends wants me to move closer to her but I can’t afford her area. So she is upset that I am moving further away.
OAOASO says he loves me and wants to work it out. I’ve heard that before and he changes for a few weeks and then it’s right back to the same bullshit which is the only thing we fight about.
Sah-son won’t look at houses with me, he won’t even look at the pictures because he doesn’t want to move and doesn’t want me to move.
Getting him to go out and drive is like pulling teeth.
My mother is mad at me because I haven’t enrolled him in college and I said that is a little hard when I don’t know if he is coming with me or staying with her.
Now she is mad because she thought he was staying with her and I said no, he hasn’t made up his mind. I want him to come with me but it is up to him.
I have no idea when I should tell my pet sitting clients I am moving. I am booked up through the first week of September.
I hate hanging in limbo.
No, it’s their new flavor, they just didn’t update their website yet. Lookie here
Current employment is in the process of shutting down our orifice; we were repeatedly told end of year despite the fact it’s been real slow. I was in the car, on the way to an interview today when I got a call from my current supervisor (he works in another state), “Tomorrow’s you last day” :eek: WTF! I’ve (well, we’ve) been sitting on our hands for about 3 months now, you move up our date but can’t give me more than 24 hrs! The kicker is I probably screwed the pooch on the interview because I was in shock. :mad:
Good to know you weren’t dipping little cheddar fishes into egg and frying them.
I never know gold fish came in any other flavor than cheese.
Hope you did better in the interview than you think you did. You never know.
Dun dah dun dun dah dun dun dah dunnnnnn
(the rest of the words) 
irked, did laundry, came home. Is it Firday night yet?

Hi,
Wallflower’s real name was Dawn. She was my partner. Prior to meeting me in May 2009, she was a regular here, mostly a lurker, but occasionally she posted something. She spoke of Swampbear, Spaz Cat, Taters, Vunderbob, Fairy Chat Mom, and others. Sorry if I’m butchering your names btw. When you knew her, she had worked almost 28 years at Target; she gave them almost all of her life. Many of you were here to comfort her when her husband of 20 years passed away and when her first lesbian crush went sour. Monday, July 15th, she passed away. The love of my life, a most wonderful, giving, kind, affectionate, sweet woman left us. She probably had a pulmonary embolism. She’d had several, including the one that almost killed her when she was 21. At 733am she said she didn’t feel well and at 737am she had me call 911. I was told that by the time she arrived at the ER only 3 blocks away, she was gone. At least she didn’t suffer, but she was only 49 and she’d promised to love me forever. This was not supposed to happen and I’m devastated.
I’m a diva, so once she met me, I didn’t allow her to spend so much time online. I am a diva, but no, I didn’t discourage her from hangin’ with y’all. In fact, I liked hearing about Swampy’s adventures and about your personalities. I talked her into going back to school and into trying new things and the wallflower who had spent so much time on her computer lurking and living vicariously, started to live her own life. She was a beautiful woman and if you would have known her better, you would miss her. Trust me.
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you since you had been an important part of her life pre May 2009. Thank you for being there when she did need you and for sharing your lives with her. Anyone who was good to my Dawnie is okay in my book.
Take care,
Cheryl
Ooooh, now there’s an idea; 'specially since it looks like I’ll have time on my hands.
Sari, you don’t know how to live! 
They have lots of Flavors
(Cheddar) Cheese is probably my least favorite; I do like the Parmesan, though.
ETA {{{Cheryl}}}
I’m so sorry for your loss, Cheryl.
Cheryl - thanks so much for letting us know. Dang, what a shock!! You’re right, 49 is way too young… 
I’ll be really surprised if anyone goes crabbing today. It’s supposed to be hotter than yesterday, and hardly anyone went out then. Crabbers don’t tend to take ice boxes for their catch and obviously if the crabs sit out in the heat too long, they’re history. So I may have the day off. We shall see.
**FCD **should be getting up about now - he said he’d be on the road by 6:30. Weather up the coast looks decent and being a Thursday, traffic shouldn’t be too horrible. In theory, he’ll be home before 8 tonight. We shall see.
Meanwhile, I have a dishwasher to unload ad tidying to do and towels to stencil. So even if I’m off today, I’ll be busy. Oh, and I just had some of my peach jam - it’s better with sugar than without - next batch will be a low-sugar version. I wonder if I can find a recipe to use the stuff I’ve already made - peach jam cobbler?? I can get creative, I guess…
Happy Thursday!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis 72 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 92 for the day. I imagine we shall have a heat index of close to a hunnert. Then again, 'tis Summer so no big surprise there.
{{{Cheryl}}} I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember Walls (her MMP nickname) well. She was a sweetheart. For what it’s worth, She, you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Dawn.
Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas, 'tis an irk day so purtification must commence.
Happy Thursday Y’all!
