The weekend doesn’t start till 12:15am for me.
Grumpy day today.
My mother plucked my nerves, now the HFH just came in and she thinks it’s so cute :rolleyes: to make her dogs bark for their food. I’m watching the neighbor sliding around trying to back his car into his driveway.
My truck is still covered in snow because I didn’t have to go out, so I didn’t.
Sah-son got Sah-dog to go out, finally. I have to make hamburgers later for Sah-son. I had barbeque pork for lunch.
The grumpies are just getting grumpier, maybe some chocolate will help?
Tomorrow night is the church’s annual Epiphany Party. Yes I know it ain’t Epiphany until the sixth (or seventh dependin’ on what you were raised to think) but we do it on the Sattidy closest to Epiphany. Get over it. Anywho, the Epiphany Party is always on the night that precedes the annual church meetin’ which (duh!) shall be this Sunday after church. It also is brunch Sunday. This is all by design as more people will show up for a brunch Sunday, thus captive audience for an annual meetin’. Bear, you may be wanderin’, is there like a point to all this or are you just ramblin’ on like usual. Yes to both. 
So, the point is, at the annual meetin’ we elect three members to the Vestry each year. In a moment of weakness coupled with insanity, I agreed to be nominated. Thus, I should go to the Epiphany Party to schmooze. Plus I should go cause it’s a fun thing. However, that means we have to bring an appetizer thingy and I ain’t in the appiter thingy makin’ mood. I mean, I already gotta make a pasta sallit for Sunday. I’m considerin’ the possibiity of either doin’ the pepper jelly/cream cheese/crackers thingy or just goin’ to the sto’ and :eek: buyin’ a cheese ball. :eek:
There’s a point in all that somewhere. I charge each and everyone of you to find said point.
Meanwhile, OYKW is swipin’ The General’s dindin and shall be here in a bit.
Yay for the check MOOOOOOM! Boo for the unsold penguins!
Politics!
Bribery!
What’s a “Vestry”? 
That’s the Whiskeypalian committee responsible for buying the booze.
Swampy, I thought you said “Never again!” after you did your last term on Vestry… 
I used to know a girl named “Vestry”.
I think she was Spanish.
The real answer is that the Vestry is the Board of Directors for the congregation.
I thought it was a group of guys who liked to wear vests…
… in trees.
Vestry is the bestry.
Especially if they have been drinking. :dubious:
Congratulations or sympathies, whichever are appropriate, Swampy.
Cap’n, [del]VBoob[/del], [del]Vunderific[/del], [del]B-B-Boobio[/del], (↑ this guy) will be sending you a PM to check your availability; please make sure to check your junk mail & spam folders just in case.
Ummm, there’s a point on the corner of the box of the store-bought appiter thingy??? :dubious:
I got to use my snowshoes today. Yay!!!
Time to knit the night away. Single digits threatened tonight - brrrrrrrr!!
We’ve had the General’s dindin and ice cream. It wasn’t the General’s ice cream. I would never swipe somebody’s ice cream.
Spidey that’s as good a point as any. 
flytrap what BBBobbio said re the Vestry. Down at good ol’ St. Pat’s we elect three people each year to serve a three year term. The Vestry is the governin’ body of the Parish.
BBBobbio I probably did say never again. There is no guarantee I will be elected. Indeed, there are several good candidates all of whom would do an excellent job. I was approached by the nominatin’ committee (the three outgoin’ Vestry members constitute the committee) who asked me if they could submit my name. That felt kinda good, so I said yes. Thus, elected or not, I’ll feel really good about the leadership down at good ol’ St. Pat’s.
Woo Hoo here comes the first patient for the Mumper Medical Mob
Flytrap and Sari sharpen your tableware and lets go make Booze and $$$
Speaking of… Where are my Linesman’s Pliers ?

I didn’t get the memo about Swampys permission to leave irk early today. Right when I was getting ready to leave irk all the computers quit irking which included the network and my POS machines. It was a regional outage so I had to stick around until that was fixed.
It is in the mid 60’s here in the Keys. TPTB are calling for rain tomorrow and into the 50’s on Moanday night. That will require the heat to be turned on. There is no heat at irk.

All youse northerners stay safe and warm. Probably best just to stay in. Have a good weekend all!
Butters do folks bring electric heaters to irk? Does irk have electric heaters? I don’t like the things. Two circuit breakers tripped at irk first thing this mornin’ cause people were pluggin’ in and turnin’ on electric heaters. Several of the dang things turned on at the same time makes stuff like that happen.
‘Tis 36 Amurrkin out. I’m thinkin’ snugglin’ in bed under a blankey and watchin’ teevee for a while would be a good thing. Specially since I got me a fuzzy warm human blankey to snuggle with.
Sharp implements and booze in the same sentence!
That may work better than chocolate to get rid of the grumpies.
Swampy I can cross my fingers for you but I’m not sure which way to cross them.
I did see a recipe out on fb that made me think of you. You take a small cube of mozzerella, wrap it in a piece of crescent roll dough. Wrap that with bacon and skewer with a tooth pick and deep fry.
I wanna order a CD online but my wifi keeps cutting out and I’m afraid of that happening in the middle of ordering a CD. Whine whine whine.
Maybe this will remind you.
Sorry. Once you said it, it had to be done.
Sympathy to Bobbio on his upcoming medical adventures.
Cool!
Do you get Ius primae noctis?
