The I Could Have Lived Without Knowing That MMP

Up, caffeinated, off to work. Booster Club Board meeting after.

Ruble, I remember reading about the Furry fest. Would have been interesting if it happened at the same time and place as the Booster Club convention in 2011(like the wedding brawl wasn’t interesting enough).:smiley:

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 71 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 87 and maybe rain. Or not. Who knows. The weather PTB have been slackin’ on the forecast lately.

And now, the latest from MOOOOOOM’S life as a [del]pirate[/del] tourist on the high seas.

Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy is hongry. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. Le Sigh.

Happy Tuesday Y’all!

kopek, sounds like you had a wild time in Bean Blossom. Reminds me of some of the times I’ve been there.

Hoping to get sprung today.

Happy Toosday.

It’s a cloudy 70 degrees outside. looks like it is going to rain any second.
I didn’t sleep wll and have a horrible headache.

Today is laundry day and pizza day.
I’m hoping that maybe I can get Sah-son up in the attic today to fetch the things that are mine.
The male half is gone, the female half appears to have gone to work and I think my mother and her bf will be going bowling.

In the what the hell are you thinking department
Somme of y’all will remember when I told you about my friends son-in-law trying to kill her daughter? Her daughter joined a support group for women who have been battered or gone through other trauma.
The leader of the group, a psychologist no less, expressed her dismay at Ray Rice being fired from the Ravens.
Who in the hell expresses that view in front of a bunch of battered women!!!
My friends daughter told the leader off and walked out of her group, sadly only one other woman got up and left with her.

Doggio not only will you not find an olive fork in my house, you won’t find any of those nasty olives either. YUK! However in the event I should ever have some around for entertainment purposes you can use an iced tea spoon to fish one out. Don’t worry, I’ll give you a clean spoon to stir your tea. I wouldn’t be so uncouth as to expect you to lick off all the olive juice and then stir your tea.

Who are Ray Price and the Ravens?

Do you have a deviled egg tray? As long as you have one of those, you’re good.

As far as I know, stuff like that never happened when I lived there. At least, I was never invited to any orgies of any type.

Swampy if you drop her, let me know so that I can add her to my list. I think I’m going to play again this year.

It rained all day yesterday and most of last night. Many schools and government facilities (including shipyards of all places) are on a 2-hour delay this morning. Not because they expect the water to be gone by then (because we’re due for more rain) but because that’s how long it will take to detour around the flooded areas. Half of the off ramps along I-64 are closed. And I’ve got to go to the Virginia Beach convention center this afternoon so that I can attend a trade show/symposium.

Is that really still something esoteric that most people don’t know about?

STOP OPPRESSING ME! MY TRUE FORM IS A FEMALE SILVER FOX ANTHROMORPH NAMED KRIYSTYL!
:smiley:

Speaking of animals and things you could have gone without knowing: ducks are weird. You’re welcome.

Forgot to add the footnote from > sewage* < in my first post. Sorry. (Go below line for non-sewage related hellos.)

  • No one official will use the word sewage any more because it has negative connotations. God forbid that bodily wastes should have negative connotations. And, yes, I know that for many plants, the volume of industrial wastewater surpasses the volume of domestic wastewater. I also know that’s not the reason that they changed the name.

How do I know? Ten or so years ago the relevant professional association decided that the word sludge also had negative connotations. They actually wrote about that and polled members for ideas for a replacement. The winner: biosolids. We are now safe from sewage sludge, which has been replaced with wastewater biosolids. I know I feel safer.

Good to hear that Mooms’ travels and travails are continuing. Well, the second part isn’t good, so much, it’s just along for the ride.

Good for your friend’s daughter, Sari. Also good that you have ice tea spoons. They are good for many things.

My middle son is in Phoenix, so he sent me rain pictures. Well, rain buildup pictures. I’d call them flood pictures, but the extra water is clearly under control.

He pointed out a local park when I first visited, after he moved there. The park was sunken so that it could act as a detention basin during heavy rain. There was a big concrete drainage ditch along the side of the main road. Phoenix is ready for sudden rain.

He said that before the rain, there was a dust storm that intensified into a haboob. That addition to my vocabulary still makes me giggle.

It was at that music complex — some guys name? With all the trees and all the little areas for camping it really was a great spot.

Michael Vick and the Eagles best friends ever.

It was quite a scandal for a couple years. Seems as how all the mascots were in the break room and some chemical substances or beverages may have been involved but ------- next thing you know Minnie really was f#$%ing Goofy and Donald and Mickey were doing this 69 thing and -------- OK it was basically simulated sex but -------- someone had a camcorder and it ended up on YouTube.

Since the actual guilty were hidden there were mass firings and the ax swung hard up the ladder three or four rungs.

First and last? Or just last? Darn this 60 seconds!

Flytrap Ray Rice is a football player and the Ravens are a football team. It is because of the Ravens that Baltimore turns into a sea of purple every football season and why tacky purple flamingos were invented.

There was a time when all of this would have been swept under the rug. Not anymore and it’s about time.

Damn those pesky elevators though! Didn’t somebody else just lose his job because he kicked a puppy on one? No more adjusting my bra, underwear or anything else on elevators. You never know who might be watching.

So I took a little nap and my headache is gone. I need to start getting my laundry together. I wonder if Sah-son is up and what it will take to bribe him to go up in the attic. Then I have to order pizza and groceries - not from the same place.

One can never have too many iced tea spoons, and I’m adding a deviled egg tray to my list. I’m a Pagan not a Heathen!

That is all

I got the kid to go up in the attic but he couldn’t get to my stuff. Seems the HFH put a bunch of shit up there and pushed all my stuff to the back. He’s never been comfortable up there so I asked my niece to help him. She also said she’ll ask her current bf and ex bf to help when it comes time to move and they will keep their mouths shut.

I have two boxes down and neither has much in it except I found an old coffee mug I thought my mother had thrown away. It was a gift from an old friend and has a lot of sentimental value to me. That of course wouldn’t stop her from throwing it away. It took me damn close to a year to get her to stop bitching at me to throw away a pillow on my bed. Not her bed, not her pillow, she didn’t have to lay her head on it, didn’t even have to look at it but damn she was bound and determined I HAD to throw it away.
I still have it :smiley:

I just found my peacock vase too. Cool!
It will be interesting to see what else I find up there.
Although probably half of it should be thrown away.

Howdy from da cave! Yes, da cave. The A/C is actin’ wonky at the orifice. [del]Minion[/del] Assistant (actually both of ‘em, but one is in another place) is out in the field. I called her and told her to head home when she got finished as it’s just too hawt at the orifice. I then got the heck out. I am still irkin’ (am too!) but from da cave where it’s cool. I was goin’ to make chikin 'n dumplin’s for dindin but it somehow has become chikin 'n rice with lime and cilantro. YUM! Peas 'n carrots shall compose the vegetative matter. Easy and simple, the way I like my men.

sari a vase for a peacock? Who knew such a thing existed! :smiley: I am proud to know you shall possess a deviled aig tray. I have several and even a deviled aig carrier. Some folks would just take the carrier and plop it down on a table as if it is a suitable container for servin’. Though I will use the carrier the deviled aigs are tranferred onto a proper deviled aig tray for servin’. Yes, even in a picnic type settin’. I was raised right.

My vase has a picture of a peacock,similar to this

which matches my tapestry which is similar to this in color although the design is different, mine had two peacocks

I think my style is not going to appeal to a lot of people
I love tapestries

I wander if one can buy plastic peacock’s for yahd art. If anybody knows of such thing we should all pitch in to get sari a house warmin’ gift. We know she loves peacocks. :smiley:

Go to the arts-n-crafts store, buy a bunch of peacock feathers and glue them to a plastic yard flamingo.

And be glad the plastic ones are silent. Real peacocks can be obnoxiously loud.

gotti I used to take a friend’s kid (said kid is now 25 and would be mortified if he knew I was tellin’ this) to the zoo. This was a neat zoo with animals in habitats. Peacocks roamed around all over the place screechin’. So, lions, tigers, bears (oh my!), elephants, crocodiles, capybaras, monkeys and all sorts of cool wildlife to see and what fascinated him was the screechin’ peacocks.

Ok, he did love to feed the baby goats and the lambs. I have to admit that was always a big thing for me as well. They were so keeeeeeeyoooooooote!

I tried to remember the term for a baby goat, and then remembered it was called a “kid.” I guess you said “baby goats” because if you said “The kid liked to feed the kids,” it’d sound weird. :slight_smile:
