Do you need to be taken away **gotti**? 😃 We are havin’ a fish fry at irk today. YAY!!! I loves me a fish fry. This makes comin’ to irk and dealin’ with irky irk stuff worth it. Is Calgon still made? I haven’t seen or noticed it in years. ---

I’d rather have a deep sleep next to a purring kitteh than a Calgon bath. ---

Mawnin I haz a blurf At ye olde watering hole last night, I showed the pic of the “chair”. As you all might be aware, I have adventurous and diverse friends, they had many suggestions for use including one who thought he could get four cooperating “friends” on said chair. Interesting night. Back when coffee kicks in **Jim** ---

[QUOTE=swampbear] Do you need to be taken away **gotti**? 😃 [/QUOTE] Yes. I need a vacation, but I fear the oncologists have all of my money. We’re at $86,000 in billings now, and I don’t think the hospital has even submitted the charges for that 5-day stay last month. :eek: By some miracle, DH is actually sleeping right now. The doc doubled the fentanyl dose yesterday, which caused its own set of confusion at the pharmacy. I wish doctors could be required to work at a pharmacy during their residency so they’d understand that writing prescriptions for a “large tube” of lidocaine gel is meaningless, fentanyl does not come in a 125 strength, and if they write identical prescriptions each week, the next week’s “refill” will be denied by insurance as being too soon, come back next month. ---

> [@kopek](#): > > Are you calling them fat? Hmmmmmm? > > 😛 I is not fat; I is not even fluffy. Among the seven loads of laundry I did the other day, I washed & put away the winter blanket. I was warm & comfortably sleeping in my bed last night under the lighter weight spring/fall blanket; not sure what I was dreaming of, but don’t think it was either Brad Pitt or fancy-shmancy dinner in a gym when somedoggy decides they need to go out which brought me to two realizations: 1. It’s amazing how bad one needs to pee once awakened at bar-close-o’clock. Who goes first, him or me? 2. The S/F blanket isn’t nearly as warm when you crawl back into bed especially when a 20° dropping cold front has just blown in. Brrrr! I was fooled by the Scope Bacon ad, but mainly because I saw it over the weekend, well before Apr 1st. **Tenacious j** posted a [link](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=686744) in another thread on Sat 3/30. That’s not fair doing April Fool’s jokes at least two days early! ---

Lunch break. I’ve underglazed one pot. ONE! And it wasn’t that big a piece… I decided to do it sorta like the [Partridge Family bus](http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://telstarlogistics.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/01/24/partridgebus02.jpg&imgrefurl=http://telstarlogistics.typepad.com/telstarlogistics/2008/01/on-the-road-in.html&h=595&w=800&sz=75&tbnid=wF1WvDOxyH1sLM:&tbnh=92&tbnw=124&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dpartridge%2Bfamily%2Bbus%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=partridge+family+bus&usg=__9Xlz_NTf474LFOa3XYlTmoi_d3o=&docid=3Bh138nqQagghM&sa=X&ei=YPZaUZ_KIa6M0QGs94HYCQ&ved=0CDIQ9QEwAA&dur=1312) but instead of primary colors, I used shades of pinks and purples. I sketched the outlines, did them in black, then came back and filled in the pinks and purples. I went back and retouched the black lines and added a band of black along the base and the top. None of it was difficult, but it was time-consuming. And I still need to wax the base, then dip it in clear glaze to finish it. And I’m about to do another in random stripes in shades of browns. It shouldn’t take as long since I don’t intend to outline all the stripes. I may throw in some dots and zig-zags just for fun. But first, leftovers for lunch. And maybe a little chocolate bunny… 😃 ---

Happy Toosday! It really is happy too, just me and doggie home right now. It’s 9 degrees above freezing, sunny and breezy outside. Today is laundry day, I got the first load washing and it’s going to be a two load day today. I’m a little miffed that I missed one of my pillowcases, I didn’t see it until after I had put the whites in the washer and came back upstairs. Now, should I throw it in with the darks or just put that pillow on the bottom and get it next week? I had a piece of apple/cinnamon cake for breakfast. YUM. Now I need something real to eat. Since it’s after noon I guess I should call it lunch. 😃 ---

Oops. Left the car parked outside my house while I went in for some dinner (it’s ok to park there from 10am til 4pm, which was when I had to be at the horsepittle anyway). Then it was so nice 'n sunny, I decided to walk in instead… and completely forgot to move the car first. Good job there’s no traffic wardens out today, I left it there through the whole of rush hour, and didn’t get a ticket. Luckily, the roads are quiet today, 'cos of the school holidays, so I don’t think I was actually causing too many problems, but they’ve towed cars left there fpor that long before now. Anyway, horspittle couldn’t find anything wrong with me, so maybe just one o’ them random things. The random pains seem to be dying down a bit anyway. ---
