Howyou doing?
Full moon
Ok. All caught up. I literally needed glasses the day I turned 40 yoa. I have astigmatism. Old age. Finally got used to the progressives and wear all the time except when I am sleeping.
Bella is a beauty. My cat got a sand spur last night, in her mouth. $100. Guess I can check her off the gift list.
Today is ten years to the day that my hubby’s twin brother died. Unless you are a twin or married to one we cannot know the pain. Hubs is in Ga doing CE and seeing his kids and grands. He is going to visit my brother that is finally done with chemo and radiation. He is all of 106 lbs. prayers needed.
Speaking of Drs and met deductibles Sari. I met mine in Jan with girlie outpatient surgery. So I have a bum knee. I got an MRI and a referral to “the best ortho down here”. He was young, X- rayed both knees. Spent all of five minutes. The nurse said she would call my ins for pre approval for the course of shots and order the drug 
and call me ASAP. Two weeks later not a peep. Called and spoke with I assume the secretary. Explained I need to do this before the end of the year. She told me to call the insurance co and I went all bobbbiooo and Swampy on her and said I want the nurse to do what she said she"d do. Prolly pissed
her right off.
Got a call yesterday that it’s covered 100% but ins wants them to use another brand or generic. Still have to order the product so I do not see getting any injections this year. I am not happy.
Congrats to Nut on the temp position. Many times those turn into permanent positions.
CongratsFCD AND MOOOOMMM.
GOOD NEWS ON THE LIVER NUMBERSbooobiooo
shoe good advice to Midget re dipping and just so y’all know I had beanie wennies for dinner. Could have had anything. I like beanie weenies.
**netty. **. I know it’s not easy to take classes and irk. If you can do it I admire that. I tried made all A’s first semester. Second semester saw there was no way I could keep up and dropped the classes with some money returned. If I can’t make good grades and actually learn things I would rather not waste my money.
Rosie. Just cause. **herbs you too. **. It is almost 2 am and I do have to irk tomorrow. When hubby is home he wants me to turn off the tv and lights and go to sleep. I’ve always been a bit of a night owl.
Almost forgot the best part of today. I had a dentist appt for regular cleaning. I have dental ins but my dentist does not file it so I/ we pay up front and send in a claim form with doctors sig. Hubby was there in Oct and he had a bill for $455 which he paid. He could not be bothered to give me the ins papers so I got a copy of his and mine from today and the total is over $600. I should get back all or most of that.
Well thanks for reading. Must try to sleep.
Not until tomorrow, or so the site I consulted says.
I dread the actual full moon this month. As crazy as this evening was, I am not looking forward to going to work, either, as weird as a thrift store’s customer base can be.
DH and I were minding our own business in our living room, heard screams outside, went running out to check (I thought there was a child involved). While DH was calling 911 on the woman shrieking from inside a car (with an apparent physical struggle also occurring), I heard screams from some distance away, went to check on that, found another woman on the ground, also shrieking. I called 911 on that, had a hell of a time convincing the dispatcher this was a separate problem (at least she’ll find out I wasn’t getting redundant when she notices that the fire department and the security company had two separate subjects to deal with). So far as I can tell, whatever they were both using was a lot more potent than just alcohol.
Bonus points: while we were outside with that event, there was a police helicopter circling an area a bit south of our complex, but we couldn’t entirely understand the loudspeaker announcement, so we don’t know yet what that was about.
Prayers/good wishes/whatever works for you, please?
I got something over 7 hours of sleep last night with only one bladder break - I am well rested. 
**FCD **got his official offer letter via email yesterday, and I’m scanning all the forms he filled out so’s he can email them back. Yesterday he was sorting thru his engineering reference books, boxing up the ones he wanted to take. I hope this job is what he wants it to be - he considered applying for so many over the last year or so, but this is the first that really excited him. Fingers crossed!!
I have no plans for today, but I’m sure I’ll do something constructive. Or at least something not illegal. 
Happy Firday!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis 51 Amurrkin out and foggy with a predicted high of 73 and muggles for the day. I deal with muggles on a daily basis so I doubt I’ll know the difference.
Nettie :eek: That’s a bunch of excitatement not of the good kind there!
This evenin’ I shall make lasagna for tomorrow night. We’re havin’ some friends over for dindin and general carryin’s on. I like to make it up the night before and let it mellow in da fridge. Lasagna, sallit, and some good toasted up garlic bread sounds like a plan to me. Cocktails first, of course with horsedovers. I think I shall go all southern and serve pepper jelly over softened cream cheese with crackers and maybe deviled aigs if’n I feel like makin’ ‘em this evenin’. The real big excitatement, however, is the pancake, snausage, and bacon pigout tomorrow mornin’. YUM!
Ok, that’s all I got. I need more caffiene and to feed rumbly tummy. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. At least 'tis Firday.
Happy Firday Y’all!
I don’t know if I ever mentioned this, but a friend of my sister’s referred to these items as horse ovaries. I was just slightly dense the first time I heard the term, expecting to see little deep-fried ovate munchies on a platter. Sometimes my funny bone gets out of calibration.
It’s not “horse dovers”, it’s “horse DOOVERS”. :rolleyes: 
And hey, sliced thin and served with little toothpicks and some cocktail sauce…
Up, and caffeinated. Not working till 5 tonight.
Nettie, did you move into my old place in Da Hood or something?:eek:
So far today has been no more muggley than normal.
However, it is kinda muggy out and waaaaaaaaaaaay foggy still. Glad I don’t have to be out and about. Plus 'tis payday and everybody seems relatively happy.
Horse ovaries, horse doovers, horsedovers, horse do overs, as long as you can slap it on a cracker, or stab it with a toothpick, it’s all good!
Did they mention zombies?
You are all wrong. It’s pronounced orries. (Or Throat-Warbler Mangrove)
Just back from various errands, including **FCD **getting his flu shot. Before we left I stuck a poke <snerk> butt <snerk> in the oven on a nice low temp to roast away for the day. I put on some of the rub I use in the rotisserie, and it smells poke-a-licious in here! I’m not sure what I’ll serve with it, or even if we’ll eat it today or tomorrow. Doesn’t matter - we has poke!
And considering what a miserable day it is, I’m thinking I should be reading. After lunch. Gotta make me a sammich first. I’s hongree!!!
That was the term used in the Old Wench’s family. The first time I heard it, being from a people who ate whatever they had, I actually expected ---------
Have you ever thought of joining the Monty Python thread in the Game Room?
buh-LURF!
There. I said it. And I meant it, too.
Took the car in to the mechanic this morning. It was an ordeal. The car doors wouldn’t shut and the car wouldn’t start. My dad and I called a towing company and the tow truck guy got the car started (so I drove the car to the mechanic’s instead of having to have it towed.)
I have the heat on all the way in this room but I’m still cold.
Rehearsal tonight.
Happy Firday!
and what a day it has been!
So I am irking my am shift and it is busy for a change. So I am taking with a customer and Sah-dog has to go out. He’s doing his little crossed legged dance until he gets Sah-son’s attention. Sah-son gets up to the dog out, when I hear this noise - a strangled mangled scream coming from Sah-sons mouth. I thought the dog was doing something to get on his nerves but then I noticed the dog is still dancing with crossed legs and now he’s starting to whine the I NEED TO GO OUTSIDE NOW whine, and Sah-son comes running out of his room and is hopping around the living room with a panicked look on his face. I keep pointing at my headpiece, the signal that I am on the phone with a customer and it needs to be QUIET! The dog is dancing and whining, the son is dancing and pointing to his room and I’m trying to concentrate on the customer’s problem and help her fix it, wondering why in the hell the son is ignoring the dog. who is whining more and more loudly and is on the verge of a yip.
Turns out, Sah-son was putting on his shoes to take the dog out and he felt something in the toe of his shoe. He pulled the shoe off and a mouse jumped out and ran across the room.
Finally he gets the dog out, vacuums his entire room, checks all his drawers for mousie droppings, tells me he wants to move back to my mothers, and eventually calms down.
Then he walks into the kitchen from the other side, the way that you have to walk up a step, across the landing, and down a step. I hear another indescribable sound from him. He almost stepped on a dead mouse. In his bare feet.
Thus begins my day.
shoe, welcome to adulthood! Didja include a green veggie or two in these plans? 
Good thoughts to your brother, butters.
swampy, cornbread crackers go really well with the cream cheese and pepper jelly.
Emily, frozen doorlocks and dead batteries are just two things I don’t miss about winter up north. I used to heat my door key with a cigarette lighter if it was frozen but not thickly iced over.
Looks like I’ll be out of irk early today. Normal Firday.
Yeah, it was probably the weather. I could get the doors open, but they just wouldn’t close.
Everything is more or less fine now. I’ll pick up the car on Monday because I won’t have time for that today.
