Isn’t this quite the summer? Extremes in heat and rain all over the place - some getting both!
That’s all I’ve got - just a random observation. So tell us all something random. Maybe this week’s theme can be conversation starters.
GO!
Happy Moanday!
First!
Oooh, pick-up lines, I like it! 
Looking to add to your repertoire?
A random, non-conversation starter - Taz has peed on the guest room comforter and on some clothes that were stored in there. I’m guessing I need to take him to the vet. Dammit.
I’m actually GLAD to be at irk today. Eleven days of 24/7 with my wife does not make Bob a happy camper.
I had a fantastic weekend, great time spent with a fab bunch of friends celebrating a birthday (no need to panic, it wasn’t mine) but there was so much time spent outside enjoying the glorious weather that now my sunburn has sunburn.
We had temperatures up to 30 degrees over the weekend, we are just not prepared for that! The only thing to do was cool off in the pool, thus I definitely had a hot and soggy time.
I’m at home this coming weekend (apart from a day out visiting my doting parent), and then the following Friday I am off to Belgium for a long weekend. Happy times!
I’m guessing **BBBobbio **isn’t looking forward to retirement…
I is officially too old to go to concerts. Saw Halestorm last night. They were awsome! But standing around for 3 hours + getting home around midnight + getting up at 0530 = ouches and tiredies.
A local community theater is putting on a production of Tommy. We’re thinking of going. How bad can it possibly be???
:eek:
:dubious::dubious::dubious::dubious::dubious:
Blurf.
Had to take the housemate to A 'n E last night- she was getting chest pains (again- it’s happened a few times, and never been anything serious).
I think she’s ok- I asked her to call me for a lift back if needed- she didn’t, but I heard her come in about 1am, having presumably walked across town… When I got back after dropping her off, her boyfriend was waiting outside the house, and had a bit of a go at me for not calling her an ambulance :rolleyes:
So… she’s been coming off a medication with chest pains as a common withdrawal symptom, and it’s happened several times before. It’d been going on for several hours, she’d called the out of hours doctor who’d told her it was better to get checked out today rather than wait until monday morning as a different medication she’s on slightly increases risk of heart issues (last time they just said ‘take some paracetamol, it’ll be the medication’), and she’s 30 freaking years old and is quite capable of phoning her own ambulance if required, but I should have called one for her, (which probably wouldn’t have arrived for ages, due to the triage system) against her wishes and against medical advice, rather than giving her a lift, otherwise I’m a horrible person?
Riiight.
Anyway, I should probably go do something useful. The caffeine’s kicking in now.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up, caffienated, brekkied, purtified and at irk. Just another manic Moanday. 
‘Tis 75 muggy Amurrkin degrees out with a predicted high of 91with ONLY a forty percent chance of rain. We might start to dry out a little. Torrential frawg stranglin’ rain and tstorms last night. 'Twas still at it when I fell asleep around eight-thirtyish. Da yahd was all squishy, hence the hope of some kind of dry out over the next few days. Hopefully we’ll have the chance before the next predicted big band of rain later this week.
Conversation starters, heh. When I was a wee freshbear in college, we had to learn the first eighteen lines of the Prologue to The Canterbury Tales in Middle-English. Our professor said we had to do it for two reasons: because he said so, and because one day we will be at a cocktail party and can use the recitation as an icebreaker. I have not thought about this in years. I can sorta still do it after all these many, many, many years but have never used it at a cocktail party.
This, for those who are interested in furtherin’ their cocktail party icebreakers, is it:
Whan that Aprille with his shoores soote
Wan thot A’prill with his sure-es so-tuh
The drought of March hath perced to the roote
The drewgt of March hath pear-said to the row-tuh
And bathed every vein in swich liquor
And ba-thed every vane in sweech lee-coor
Of which vertu engendred is the flour
of wheech ver-too en-jen-dred is the flu-er
When Zephyrus eek with his sweete breeth
When Zeph-er-us ache with his sway-tuh breath
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
In-spear-ed hath in every holt and heth
The tendre croppes and the yonge sun
The tawn-dray crop-pays and the young-gay soan
Hath in the ram his halve cours yronne
Hath in the rahm his hall-vey coors e-rown
And smale fowles maken melodye
And smal-ay foe-lays mock-en mel-oh-dee-uh
That slepen all the night with open eye
That slep-en all the neekdt with open ee-ah
So priketh hem nature in hir courages
So prick-eth him nah-tour in hear core-ahj-ez
Thanne longen folke to goon pilgrimages
Thah-nay lon-gen folk to goen-on pilgrim-ahj-ez
And palmeres for to seeken stronge straundes
And palm-ers for to sake-en stroan-jay stroan-days
To ferne halwes couth in sondry londes
To fair-nay hallways kouth in soan-dray loan-days
And specially from every shires ende
And specially from every shear-ez end-uh
Of Engelond to Canterbury they wende
Of Eng-gal-ond to Khan-ter-bury they wend-uh
The hooly blissful martyr for to seeke
The holy blissful martyr for to sake-uh
That hem hath holpen whan that they were sike
That hem hath holp-en whan that they were seek-uh
Spidey the wimmen will line up when you do this!
ETA: MOOOOOOM you should go. If for no other reason, to entertain us with tales of how bad it was. I think I’d just have to go!
ETA Again: Happy Moanday Y’all!
Blurf.
Yawn. I am not ready for this week.
**swampy **- I can honestly say that if someone tried to break the ice with that recitation, I’d have probably moved on long before it was halfway thru… But, yes, we’re going to Tommy on July 26. Third row, center. **BBBobbio **- it’s the theater group in LaPlata, not the one by you.
Now, it’s off to take trash and recycling. Good times!!
I’ve been off work since Tuesday of last week.
This is not a happy morning.
Dammit
Y’know, I’ve done this, having had to memorize it in high school (up to a point), and, somehow, people just don’t hang in awe. Look at me like I’m green, maybe, run away screaming, occasionally, but…
Seven days left till Twinkies return. I will blurf on.
Trash and recycling is ready to go - but the center doesn’t open for 30 minutes, so we’ve got time to kill. I think the rain has passed for now. Comforter is on the line and second load is in the washer. When it’s done, it’ll go on the line and we’ll go to the center.
Yep, it’s a wild ride at FairyChatEstates!
I’m really not this tall, Rosie.
I’m sitting on my wallet.
What I remember from the Canterbury Tales;
“This Nicholas was risen for to pisse”
-The Miller’s Tale
At irk and the only thing that is keeping teh blurf at bay is I smell cake being baked. Which is weird cuz I work in a hospital and there is no oven along my corridor. In other news, something has pissed me off but I can’t remember what.
Dear Humidity,
My hair is enormous. Cut it out.
Kthxbye.
