Special1, is your scarcity today a result of staying up until 2:30 am this morning?
[/QUOTE]
Nah, just avoiding you… 
Did you miss me, really? Awwww… {{{Roo}}} 
Maybe I can catch up with you before you fall asleep…? 
Everybody else – driveby!! Busy, busy busy morning… morning everybody… gotta run!

QueenB, N.O.T. stands for “Not Our Taters”, i.e. potatoes. 'Cause it would be really rude (and kinda gross - no offense) to eat taters!!!
[/QUOTE]
Thanks (what’s rude and gross about potatoes though?)

OK, got slightly more time on my hands now – we’re having a crisis on “my” customer’s facility, so as R&D project lead I’m in things up to my ears – so…
**Kai **-- hope things work out!
**Dotty **-- Ramadan during the fall must be a lot easier to handle than when it decided to be in June! Wonder what an observant Muslim living in Northern Sweden would do in that situation?
**Swampy **-- fascinating stuff, beer! Learning more every day 
Ana – I’m not too late to make a wise-crack about the Shasta in you Shorts, am I? 
::waves back, very belatedly :(, at tarra:: We really need to get our timetables closer to each other.
::waves at Roo, too, just because I know you love the attention :)::
(Or, was it **taxi **who waved to me yesterday? 
)
Nevermind… (::waves at both:

Nobody ever informs me when the females get out of control and stick carbonated beverages down their pants…
I feel so out of the loop…
This morning is one of those mornings where it took dynamite to drag my ass out of bed. yawn
A last little post before I go. Everybody behave(yeah, right).
LOUNE, if we could get them to do it on webcam, we could sell the results: “Mumpettes Gone Wild IV” 
kai, I hope things go well. I’ll keep you and the daughter in my prayers. Vent as needed.
Special1, I have heard that observant Muslims in places like Northern Sweden follow either Tehran or Riyadh timings, depending on whether they are Shia or Sunni (respectively).
Off to the doctor now for Noor’s check-up - fingers crossed we are done with this crap (literally!!!)
OK Special1, stop ignoring me!! :::stomp, stomp, stomp:::
It’s 4:48 am and this was NOT the schedule.
What am I doing up?
It’s too early to think of anything coherent to say.
Dotty, good luck!
doggio, I’m behaving. What else can I do at this hour?

No. I’m ignoring you. I’m not paying any attention to you. None at all. Absolutely.
Well, if I stop ignoring you, will you join me in mis-behavin’?

You’re telling me! By the time I’d heard about it the beverage was gone and the whole thing just a memory.
Maybe I need to give FCM more chocolate?

Last week I posted a link to an entire video clip about the dangers of firefighting, and not one person commented.
It was a good’un, too.

It’s 5 am. I’m bored. It’s the internet. I’m there.
What do you want to do? We could toilet paper the room before everyone else wakes up. Or we could scream really loud so everyone has to wake up.* Or. . . ? It’s too early for my brain to kick into gear. Actually, it’s getting later, but I’ve been up for an hour.
rosie, sorry. . . I meant to comment about the picture. Very pretty!! And I’m not just saying that because you brought it up again. I really forgot.
welby and LOUNE, you guys gotta pay closer attention.
*wait. . .since I started writing this, everyone is getting up. I think I’m too late for this. Drat.

He’s not expecting me to think, is he? Because it’s way too early for that.
