You rock! Whick reminds me, I have just enough space to cram a megapack under the sink. off to the sto tomorrow! **Jim** , Raliegh has good food trucks.

My left eye has been twitching since about lunchtime. The last time it did this was in 1991 when my mom was ill with colon cancer. Everyone in the family is fine. I checked. So why won’t it stop? eta - I revived the dead MMP ---

Good Mornin’ Y"all! Up and caffienatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 74 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 91 for the day and maybe rain. For all the thunder rumblin’s last night, we got zilch. Looks like all the storms went around us. This mornin’ I shall deheathenate Luterun style as I shall serve at the nine o’clock service this mornin’. After that we shall do a brunch of sammiches and whatever we rummage outta da fridge cause da bear ain’t in cook mode. And now, as promised, a bonus update of **MOOOOOOM’S** life as a [del]pirate[/del] tourist on the high seas. > [@MOOOOOOM](#): > > Bad weather has forced the cancellation of our stop in Isafjordur – the commodore came on the intercom about 6:30 and told us we’re heading to Reykjavik because the weather here in the north west makes it too dangerous to anchor and take tenders into port. So we’ve got an unexpected day at sea, and we’ll spend the night tied up in Reykjavik. > > I foresee a day of crocheting. More news tomorrow after whatever tomorrow brings. > > MWAH!! I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy is hongry. Also at some point purtification for deheathenization must commence. Happy Sunday Y’all! ---

Happy Sunday! It’s a cool, breezy, sunny 55 degrees outside. Actually a little BRRRRR sitting here by the open window. The high predicted is 71. This is perfect weather. Of course the AC is on and ran all night but since I don’t pay the electric bill no reason for me to complain. Nothing on the agenda for today but irk. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > What does it mean, “Elephant moshpit”? Very large animals dancing wildly (& loudly) \*Moshing, also known as “slamdancing”, is a style of dance where participants push or slam into each other. It is usually associated with “aggressive” music genres, such as hardcore punk and numerous styles of heavy metal. It is primarily done to live music, although it can be done to recorded music.[1] Variations of moshing exist, and can be done alone as well as in groups. Moshing usually happens in a “pit” (sometimes called a “mosh pit”) and is intended to be energetic and full of body contact. \* ---

Howdy Y’all! Home from Luterun deheathenization. OYKW is foragin’ da fridge. I am not innerested in the comsumption of vittles right now. My sinuses are actin’ up and I’m just not hongry.

> [@SpazCat](#): > > I slept in until 9 a.m this morning! :eek: I made it till 6:30 am. Probably should go in the thread about things you where not told about getting old. Well, what the heck. MMP is just about sharing, right? My Wife and I are heading out to Lake Tahoe tomorrow. We are driving from Colorado. She will be racing her 5th full 140 mile IronMan triathlon. I’m the Sherpa, pit crew and all around support. From wiki - “It is widely considered one of the most difficult one-day sporting events in the world.” My Wife is 54. Oye. Just hope she can finish with out injury. She broke some bones in her hand from a fall in the last race. She hopes to come in under 16 hours. 17 hours is the cut off. DNF. Gonna be a long day for me too. But my Wife understands that completely. ---

I slept in until 8:30 this morning, so about 9 1/2 hours of sleep. I feel like I wasted part of the day, but oh well. Also, dreams about motion sickness suck. ☹ Working on Christmas ornaments for a craft fair. ---
