The Insomniac MMP!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
81

Howdy all. At irk and hungry. I only have soup here so I guess a trip to the Pubic store is in order. I have to stay late at irk today and go interview a bunch of teenagers as I am getting a teen clerk for the summer. I don’t want one or need one but I have to have one.:dubious:

We are getting video cameras in my irk bldg. I am mixed about it. It is a tad creepy. There will not be one in my private office so I can still slack off and bring my dog to irk.:D:cool:

I will have a monitor so I can see what’s going on all times. :cool:

It is overcast and drizzly here with rain promised most of the rest of the week. We are now officially in Hurricane Season and Rainy Season. I love rain especially if’n I could be home napping.

Y’all be good!

82

I never am. :stuck_out_tongue: Though I have stopped playing other people’s boxwood clarinets outside in the rain at 2 AM while drunk, so there is that.

I’d like to try to get back into practicing my piano, though it’s not easy finding places for all the stuff on top of the lid before I open the lid. I should stop using the piano lid as a table so often.

I went to Hair Cuttery once. Once.
Mooommm, you’ve met me to realize; I go to a barber to get a hair cut, I don’t go to a beauty parlor for a hairdo, yet they managed to screw it up. :smack:

[del]Hell no![/del] Ummm, sure, love to, PM me.

How do you know the toothbrush was invented in West Virginia?

Any other state & it’d be a teethbrush! :smiley:

84

I have never had a professional haircut in my life. My mother used to cut my hair when I was younger, though my hair’s always been long. The only time my hair wasn’t long was when I was a baby and my hair was first growing in.
My hair colo(u)r is dark brown with some gray.

85

Are you sure it didn’t sound like the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoons?? :smiley:

And I did lunch at Red Robin - Onion soup and garden salad - quite yum!

And I had success - I got a dress in many shades of pink. Plus Tuesday at Dress Barn is senior citizen day, so I got 10% off! Now I just need to check to see if I have panty hose, plus decide on what necklace I’ll wear. Of course, if my niece had the decency to elope, I wouldn’t have had to go thru this! :stuck_out_tongue:

And I’m pleased with my haircut - nicely layered and out of my face - that’s all I ask of my tresses.

86

Emily, I’ve jammed with a group that was a mash up of bluegrass / Celtic / Klezmer that often included a clarinet (and sometimes, I was the one [del]butchering[/del] playing it). You would find a spot with our bunch. :stuck_out_tongue:

bobbio, I’ll be in Goshen in ~six weeks. Sis and I will make the pilgrimage. :p(and a side trip to Yoder’s for lunch).

87

I learned something today - snark is a portmanteau of snide remark. I knew what it meant, but I didn’t know the origin. Now I do, and so do you if you didn’t before reading this.

That’s all - just wanted to share. :smiley:

88

blurf (yes, I just woke up. You got a problem wi’ that?)
**
{{{{{{{{VBob}}}}}}}}**

as for the rest, sorry TL;DR, and the rainy weather is giving me a blinding headache, so I won’t be on line that long today.

89

I wonder if you’d accept a slightly squeaky alto clarinet. :stuck_out_tongue: Though I’m taking it in tomorrow to have it looked at.

My dad used to say someone was “snarky” and mean that they had a stuffed-up nose.

Dads always make up words. Back in the early 60s my dad was a developer. He had builds all over Long Island and parts of South Florida. He was very proud of his Splanches. He said they were better than Split Ranches, hence the portmanteau. In the 90s, I visited his development in West Palm Beach. It’s a couple miles south of the airport - at the time, the airport was little more than some tarmac and one small building, and the development was very upper middle class. When I saw it as an adult, it was run down, and barely better than a trailer park. And the “splanches” were just standard high ranches.
I have no idea why I chose to tell that story. Please go back to your normal mumping.

91

Howdy Y’all! OYKW and I went to Sonny’s for dindin. I had babyback ribs with baked beans, sweet N.O.T., and cornbread. OYKW had St. Louis style ribs, baked beans, fries, and garlic bread. Fart fest to follow. :smiley:

rosie random posts are what the MMP is all about!

92

VBob, I’m very sorry to hear about your cousin, and hope that the final arrangements are as stress-free on everyone as possible.

First Class Mail, how did your hair chopping go? Pics, please.

I realize that I’m only a casual mumper, but I had to put this SOMEWHERE, so…

As those who follow the thrilling adventures of kaylasdad99 will no doubt be aware, I am in the process of preparing for a hip replacement (and for those who don’t follow the t.a. of k., the role of Exposition Fairy will be played by this link). Anyhoozles, when we last looked in on our protagonist, I had obtained a referral to a surgeon who performs hip replacements using an anterior approach technique, and made an appointment for this Friday. Unfortunately, when I had my last surgical consult, I left my xrays and radiologist report at that surgeon’s office. So yesterday, I went to that office to retrieve them.

The surgeon’s staff were kind enough to also provide me with a copy of the evaluation letter that had been sent to my primary physician. Here’s what the good doctor has to say about me:

“The patient is a delightful 58-year old gentleman who works for the post office. He is an electronic engineer and keeps the machines of the post office running.”

Well, there are a few minor inaccuracies that I feel I may wish to clear up on Friday. One of them is that I’m an electronics technician, not an engineer. Also, I don’t keep ALL of the machines of the post office running; just the ones at my facility.

Ahh, who am I kidding? Those are of no significance. What worries me is: how am I supposed to convince this new surgeon that I’m frickin’ delightful? I mean, I usually am, in the right circumstances, but those circumstances tend to include me having had a good night’s sleep (which I did, on the Tuesday morning of my initial consult). But this evaluation is going to be on a Friday morning, after I get off work. I’ll likely be tired, possibly dirty, and almost certainly in extra pain; I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to pull off DELIGHTFUL…

93

pops don’t worry about that. Bein’ as you will have just gotten off irk, the surgeon will be ok with “didn’t threaten to axe murder me.” :smiley:

94

You need a t-shirt like thisto speak for you! :wink: I have a version of that - it was my motto when I was still working. In fact, one of my coworkers used to call me “Freekin’ Ray” :smiley: Good luck with your surgicals!

It’s been raining pretty steadily for a couple of hours. Like a dummy, I left the patio door open, so rain was splashing off the deck and into the dining room. grrrrrrrrrr And the temp is down to 59°! I’ll need to dig out an afghan when I go to bed!

On the happy side, it looks like we’ve sold the bike! The potential buyer wants to meet us at the Harley dealership on Thursday to do the deal. Apparently Harley will finance any of their bikes, regardless of the seller. So barring something unforeseen, we’ll sell it with a nice little profit - like 30%! Fingers crossed…

95

Emily, If you get to Nashville, we’ll save you a chair, squeaky clarinet and all. :stuck_out_tongue:

96

Haha, thanks. :slight_smile:

97

I think it’s time for me to crawl into bed. MWAH!!

98

Finally home.
Long day.

{{{Bobbio}}}
Ruble I do have aunts and uncles who are also cousins.
Three of my grandfather’s cousins married three of my grandmother’s siblings.

Busy at work, boss went home sick, and doc is making her stay home tomorrow. Fun times.

At the same time?:wink:

Good luck with the hip, dad.

You get within 50 miles and if I’m here lunch is on me. Unless I already fled for the weekend before that. After all, my favorite sight in the world is that sign “You are now leaving Pittsburgh”. :slight_smile:

The West Virginia Supreme Court finally settled a case that has been troubling the population for generations.

Even after the divorce, the formerly married couple are still brother and sister.
