The Monday Morning Peeple - an April 1st MMP

For some reason they put it in her name way back when. No idea why.

So I cooked up my world renowned Eyetalian chikin last night to form the basis for tonight’s dindin. However, it is cool, cloudy, drizzly and just ick out so I have a hankerin’ for some good ol’ comfort food. Thus, the executive decision has been made, after consultation with the Board of Directors (ok, there’s only one and y’all know who that is :D), that dindin tonight shall be salmon patties, smashed N.O.T., English peas and bizkits. The Eyetalian chikin shall become dindin tomorrow or sometime over the weekend. Since I have to actually make up salmon patties, peal, boil and smash N.O.T. and make up bizkits this is actually a little bit of work but worth it. I want it now!

FCM, this is crazy but my parents found it works: wrap the cheese in foil and it won’t mold. I’m lazy and always buy shredded cheese and throw it in the freezer.

Mawnin all,

First off, it seems like many of my fellow Mumpers are having a tough time. All I can offer are genuine {{{Hugs }}}} to all and a reminder that summer is coming cuz everything is better in summer, right?

Had a great practice last night. We were sans keys so we worked up some new tunes and decided the “Backups” shall play in public in May. We will be a six piece by then, drums, guitar, keys, bass(me), precussion and trumpet. New tunes are “the Ghetto” by Donnie Hathaway, “the Shape I’m In” by the Band and “untitled in F minor” by Us. We are really starting to gel. The weird thing is, we all agree that this is the best band we all have ever been in, no drama, easy consensus and very musical but how come we had to get this old to get here?

Anyhoo I am blathering on

Happy Thorsday

Jim

We are studying now. No, really. :smiley:

Well, that was a productive hour or so. :smiley: I cut up a big ol’ poke loin into 3 2-meal roasts and 8 chops, and I sealed them all up and popped 'em into the freezer. I also hacked up the pepper jack and the cheddar into 2 oz portions and sealed them up for easy snacking.

Shiny Cat - did you know that wrapping celery in foil makes it last a loooooooong time? It’s great for me because I don’t use celery all that often and I frequently throw half of it away. Now it’s rare that I toss more than a rib or 2, so yay!

I don’t feel like messing in my studio today - I’ll do it tomorrow. Maybe I’ll finish my afghan - it’s close to done. I’m sure there’s something on Netflix that will keep me entertained…

**Jim **- when you cut your first album, can Mumpers get a discount on autographed copies?? :wink:

This has got to be one of the worst ads I’ve seen. I didn’t link because who knows when it will be taken down. I also got rid of the incriminating info.

Engineer, huh? What kind? Mechanical? Electrical/electronics? Aerospace? Computer? Software? Interdisciplinary? Domestic? Sanitary? :rolleyes:

*Perform tasks with no guidance? * “Here do this.” Um, OK… I’m assuming they mean supervision, but who knows.

Demonstrate knowledge… Can I do that by reciting some random formulae from the aerodynamics class I took 36 years ago? Or maybe you want me to pull out a paper napkin and sketch a free-body diagram? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’d love to know what education would be a related technical discipline that isn’t science or engineering. I’m not being sarcastic here - I have no idea what it might be - maybe some kind of technology?

I was talking to **FCD **about this ad. It’s a contractor near NAS Pax and since we’re all sequestered and there’s no money, he figures they’re amassing resumes, just in case they get a contract award and need people right away. I don’t think I could work for a company that posts such a stupid ad. And that’s not addressing the grammar. But maybe that’s just me.
I’m bored - can you tell??

Mooom I am sure we will post online for free, we don’t care about making money. We are just old guys trying to be funky. I always thought I would be a rock star when I was playing in my teens and twenties, now I could care less. We share a common goal of being a good band and have no taste for the trappings of fame. We might make a record, possibly some stickers(I like stickers) but that’s about it. If we do make a proper album, I will happily send one to any Mumper who wants one, autographed if desired(probably something silly).

I have an EDM(Electronic Dance Music) show tonight, it will be torture. Hours of bump, bump, bump at the same tempo and a significant portion of the audience will be chemically over happified. My mantra for tonight shall be “you may not murder audience members, you may not murder DJs”. Rinse, lather, repeat. I mostly love what I do for a living, this is not one of those times.

Jim

ETA any Houston Mumpers that want to can come to a “Backups” show for free, like I said we aren’t in it for the $$$$$

I for one am glad to see Bubba Schnoodle takin’ an interest in his mom’s education. :smiley: I have no doubt you shall study hard with Bubba on watch.

This also may be a situation where policy requires a position to be publicly posted even though its basically a internal promotion.

**Rio **- yeah, that’s the other thing he suggested. Except it’s been posted for a long time - those types are, in my experience, open for maybe 3 days to minimize the number of responses.

OK, for reals now, I’m going to go knit…

Probably so if she had an accident it wouldn’t come back on your parents.

So I’m trying to fill out the damn mortgage application.

It’s online and because it’s online I can’t look up the info I need as I need it.
I fill out what I can figuring I can come back and fill out the rest.

OH NO I can’t because there is no save button, just submit.

So I print it out , saving what I already had so I don’t have to go dig it out again.

It would be real nice to know what the questions are upfront so I can get the info I need before I need it.

Now I need all my truck information.

How much is my truck worth, so I have to go off to the KBB and get that info.
Then they want to know how much I still owe and when is my pay off date.

Now I can’t get into the damn website for the company that financed the truck.

They have a lovely new website they are so proud of.

I put in my name and password and it says it can’t find my name.
I try again, still can’t find my name.
So I go through all the steps to find out what my name is and my name is my name.
Exactly as I have been typing it in.

Now the password won’t work. I type it in and I can see the little dots right in front of me and I get the message that the field is missing.
No it is NOT missing, it is right there on the screen.

I check through my notebook, yep right name, right password.
So I go through all the steps to get the password.

They assign a random one.
So I type in my name and the new password and now they can’t find my name again.

And they actually had the nerve to have a pop up asking me how I like their new website.

I told them it sucks snot through a straw.

Who ordered the sleet? I want their head!

Our yard work crew is finishing up. And with the nice weather next week, my work will begin, moving azaleas, day lilies, iris, and whatever. Busy busy busy.

But for now, I’m gonna chill. With luck, I’ll sleep better tonight and finish my glazing tomorrow.

So behave yourselves while I’m chillin’ - no jumping on the furniture!!!

Bring me the head of Tom Bonner!

Dindin was teh nummy! OYKW has enough for N.O.L. tomorrow even. There is no prohibition from nukin’ fish at his irk as there is at my irk. I’m glad for that. I personally don’t mind the smell but I understand a lot of people don’t so I’m good with that. MOG came over to eat and brought our precious Baby Girl. Ain’t she just the keeeeeeeeyoooooooootest thing evah! :smiley:

look at those curls

Yep. Bossy as heck but a cute lil’ angel. :smiley:

yup!

Denver has warmed up the past couple of daysand is just gorgeous. Head back to OKC tomorrow and mr ems said they has snow flurries today. But will be 75 and sunny tomorrow. WTH?

I either have bad allergies or a bad cold. Either way there is a lot of sneezing and snot and I feel like crap.
