Nava thoughts are with you.
Two chorus related passings - our Snowbird’s* brother in law passed yesterday morning, and the father of one of our baritones went suddenly and unexpectedly while she was at rehearsal.

Rosie sorry about your friends’ losses.

Glad the talk with the lawyer went well, Nava. Mom just emailed me that a friend of hers who has a “difficult” mother is having to cancel a trip because the friend’s mom stopped eating when she found out that friend was going to be away. Nothing like sabotaging your kid’s plans intentionally. :rolleyes:
I so don’t feel like being at work any more this week. But there is stuff that I need to get done before I can go. But I don’t wanna!
{{{**doggio **and mommio}}}
**BBBobbio **- I live here - how can you possibly have remorse?? sheesh - this is *me *we’re talking about! 
Home on a very windy Firday - farther back in my yard, it looks like one tree is down and another has the top third broken and hanging. Very very windy…
My boss went to the Lady Gaga concert in DC last night. He said the audience was 80% female. And seated right next to him were two gay guys who spent the concert making out. :eek: (Yanno, gay or straight, that’s pretty tacky behavior. And no, my boss isn’t a homophobe.) He did say it was a good show, tho, and the audience ranged from kids to women with walkers! I had no idea Gaga’s fan base was that broad!
I’m trying to persuade **FCD **to go out to dinner tonight. We shall see…
MOOOOOOM the most appaling behavior in your post is your boss actually admitting he went to a Lady GaGa concert. :eek:
Catfish fillets, steamed shrimpies and sauteed scallops along with cheese grits, coleslaw and really good hush puppies make a fine dindin. We ordered and shared that. Well we each got our on coleslaw and grits. We made nice and evenly divided up the hushpuppies too. We’s stuffded!
Tomorrow is yahd werk at OYKW’s place. He’s got shrubs and stuff that need to be trimmed. Tomorrow is the day especially since the weather is supposed to be clear with a high around 80 Amurrkin.
Red Robin made supper, so I’m stuffded. Afterwards, we went to Petco and daughter got some stuff for her critter tank. Tomorrow, she’s going to get an albino PacMan frog and a leopard gecko and get it all set up to take on Monday.
Tomorrow is dump day - we’ve got a bunch of crap to get rid of. And this is the weekend we sort thru our clothes for a load for AmVets. And I’m going to run my kiln somewhere along the line also.
TGIF!
I was standing at the desk at work today, doing my thing, when a dog walked in the door. I saw something blond going down the hall and at first I thought it was a little girl. Then I realized it was a dog. I got Squirrel AGM after it and he put it out the back door. A little while later it walked back in the front doors and walked around the lobby and then back out the door with Squirrel AGM after it again. It was all very bizarre.
And then the power went out for an hour and a half because the wind was blowing. I wanted to blame the dog, but the UPS lady said there were 40 mph gusts outside and it knocked something loose.
Agh agh argh. I’m trying to email some people we know at church about the clothing swap, but their address (and different variations) has failed five times. I’ve just looked up their phone number (they have an uncommon name and I know the area where they live) and am trying to decide if it would be creepy to phone them. We’re at the ‘chitchatting at church’ stage of acquaintance.
Blah. I should be washing sippy cups.
Li-Li, if you’re on a committee, it isn’t weird. Just say “Hi, acquaintance, I just wanted to remind you about our church’s upcoming clothing drive and sacrificing of the first born” (that second part is optional, of course)
Worked all day, had to deal with psycho DM on top of everything else.
We’re all evil Papists, so help yourself.
Sorry about the 13 day week.

Up, caffeinated, off to irk.
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN Today is yahd irk day at OYKW’s place. So natch food has to be planned. Hotdawgs for lunch and steaks for dindin when we get back to da cave. We need to do a bunch to his yahd as I mentioned yesterday. My Bradford Pear trees are bloomin’. Spring is on the way!
Off to seek more caffiene and decide on brekkies. I think I’ll do scrambled aigs with cheese, bacon, grits and toasts cause we need to fuel up for a day of manly yahd irk.
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
Blooming stuff already? wow. Altho my hosta are starting to poke their little noses thru the dirt. And I bet if I moved some dead leaves, I might see daffydill greenery appearing.
I was sleeping in so comfy. Naturally Scruffy couldn’t have that. So I’m up while all the lucky ones in the house are still asleep. And I was having a weird dream that Drew Carey was being recruited as a spy - now I’ll never know if he made it!
Cold and clear morning - we shall see what the day brings. swampy, when you’re done with your yard work there, I have plenty more here. I’ll even buy a beer bribe!
We’re not, we’re all just families who hang out in the Kid Tamer area and watch each other sympathetically as we child-wrangle. Anyway, no police. Yawn. Kids up early.
I went to my diabetes clinic yesterday. I have great news, and concrete numbers!
Since last April I have lost exactly 20 pounds, 5 of which have been since December, when I started working out. Yay!
The bestest news:
My A1C levelis … drumroll please … 5.5%!!! Woo and hoo! Down from 6%.
:):):):)
AND he lowered the amount of insulin I’m taking!
YAAAAAAAAY, Rebo!! Let’s have some cake!!!
Ok, wait…
Wow, great news on the A1C levels, Rebo, congratulations!! And on the weight loss too - great incentive to keep up with the gym. 
Good on you!
Good morning all. I’m up and caffeinating, had a bagel thin with my coffee. I can’t recall if I posted yesterday but the cateract surgery I was scheduled for on 2/28 has been cancelled because I was sick last week. This is the second surgery, the first was the end of November, so at least I can see pretty well out of the one eye. I don’t know when it will be re-scheduled, unfortunately - the surgery schedulers said that I need to be six weeks symptom free before they’ll re-schedule! They don’t want to risk infection, since the surgery does involve an implant, and they don’t want me to be coughing when the doctor is wielding the laser. :eek: :smack: At any rate, I’m a bit depressed about that, but … well, better safe than sorry, I guess.
In the meantime, let them eat … CAKE! LOL
Rebo - that’s good news, but it is karma, coincidence, or just spooky that the link points to a GB poll on bacon?
In case you were wondering, VunderWife does exist - I met her and **BBBobbio **at a local cafe when we were having breakfast.
That’s all. Just had to share.
