In that case, may neither you nor your appliances be struck by lightning and may you breathe freely for the near future.
Dang. Much thrice removed sympathy. Although at a distance, she was far too young.
Pretzels are done. If you lived close enough, you could come have some. 
Stroke at 19??? How tragic…
Howdy from da cave ! I finally gave up at irk. The power keeps flickerin’ on and off due to tboomers and old electrical wirin’ even though it keeps gettin’ worked on to make it all better. Right now it’s just rain (lots and lots and lots of rain) and no boom booms but more are on the way I’m sure. Dindin tonight shall be grilled poke chops, steamed cabbage, squish and cornbread. I’m in the mood for comfort food and all this is easy to make.
Rosie a stroke at nineteen? Waaaaaaaay too young! I’m so sorry for your thrice removed family loss.
roo are you sure you’re not a guy? I thought only a guy would do sump’n like that three times in a row.
We got them when you were done with them. Thanks for sending them along.
We may get t-boomers tonight - we shall see.
Meanwhile I need to tidy the kitchen and start the chickie and dumplins… This has been a kitchen day!
And, for the record, all 3 flavors of pretzels are very yum.
Sean, you’re welcome. Mumpers share!
rosie, that’s sad.
I hate waiting.
{{{Rosie and family}}}
Glad you survived to tell the tale Phouka
Well, that was great fun… or not.
I was going to shake up some flour with broth to add to the pot for thickening. Except I forgot that it’s dumb to put hot in a closed plastic container - as soon as I tried to shake, the lid blew off, sending a flour and broth mix spraying on me, the stove, the counter, the floor, and the cabinets behind me! Higgs obliged by licking up the mess on the floor. My t-shirt and a towel went downstairs for laundry. My jar of utensils that sits on the counter had to be emptied and everything had to be washed. I just finished doing all the dishes from pretzel making and chickie-n-dumplin making, along with the stuff I messed up. The chickie and veggies are simmering, and I’ll make the dumplins in about 20 minutes or so. Meanwhile, the dishwasher is running and I’m having to yell at **FCD **to stay out of the pretzels.
So, how’s your afternoon going???
Yesterday I replaced the pump that Mrs. Plant (v.1.0) let freeze. It is 3/4 horse power, larger by 50% than the frozen one. I was tightening a hose clamp, and then I was underwater in the pump house when the newly glued PVC blew apart.
I reglued the joint and will try and power it up again. At some point.
I need a do over on today.
I am going to wake up tomorrow and claim it as Monday.
19 damn, so sorry.
Jim
Maintenance came by and painted the water marks on the ceiling. I had to open the windows before the fumes gave me dain bramage, and I became fit only to hold public office.
Supper was good - we’s both stuffded. The clean dishes are all put away and **FCD **is finishing up the supper dishes. Higgs is outside making lots of noise - she’ll come back in when the rain starts again.
I should sleep well tonight - I’s tahred!!! Of course, waking up at 4:30 has something to do with that…
Dindin is et and dishes are done. OYKW headed back to his place. He’s finishin’ up laundry he didn’t get done yestiddy poor thing. I even made up some meatballs for sketties and meatballs tomorrow. Go Me! The sauce is already made. I took it outta da freezer cause skettie sauce is much better thawed than frozen. I need to do some skeetie sauce makin’ soon. I like havin’ stuff like that and soup in da freezer.
MOOOOOOOM I guess Higgs doesn’t like pretzels? I mean, it’s usually Higgs gettin’ into stuff right?
Still rainy out. Makes me want to go lie upon the bed and snooze. I won’t just yet however as it’s too early for that, but I could.
swampy, there are few things Higgs doesn’t like, thanks to her indulgent daddy who gives her all kinds of non-doggy treats. But she hasn’t been blamed for pretzel-napping yet.
Time to work on the afghan. MWAH!!
I took a nap. I always get tired around 4 or 5 and so I gave in.
Before that I had the last of the pork barbeque for lunch and before that I took a looooong hot bath.
I have not heard a thing about whether or not my offer has been accepted. How long does it take? They are supposed to go with the highest/best offer. Simple math.
I’m also annoyed that I keep getting spam mail from some asshole outfit called EverydayFact that I repeatedly send to spam and gmail blocked it for a while and now it is back. How many times do I have to unsubscribe/report as spam?
I see the little M icon and think I have something important and no, it’s just some idiot spam.
It’s too early to go to bed, right?
I wore a different pair of shoes today and my feet are hurting and I’m exhausted. I’m waiting for RT to call me back and then I probably will go to bed.
What did Aristotle say about hubris?
It never worked out well for those classical chaps.
StickyBuns I here ya! I want to go beddybye as well. Soon I am goin’ to go lie upon the bed and watch teevee. This may be a Benadryl[sup]TM[/sup] night cause my sinuses are all stuffded up.
Going to bed, see y’all tomorrow.
