Abortion is…
Wait. That would be a non sequitur.

What the hell are you doing with all those flyers? (And don’t tell me it’s a mystery.) I’m a fellow Doper, I deserve an explanation. 😉

I am still on an emotional high from seeing my puppy kisk ass in the ring yesterday.
One of my fire bellied toads is singing his little froggy heart out behind me.
They sound like Canada geese honking in the distance.
All of my eBay auctions closed this afternoon, I sold some model horses I customized , and made just under $600 😃 .
My friend’s Rottweiler , Angel, had 3 cancerous lumps removed Thursday , and I went to visit them today , and Angel is acting like a puppy , I just hope they got all the cancer and she has a few more good years.
It is a chilly, nasty , drizzly day here, really YUCKY weather.

I’ve always wondered what the bathroom facilities look like at the bar Luke Skywalker and Obi Wan go to in the beginning of Star Wars. Is there a mind boggling collection of tubes and pipes and holes to be used for voiding all sorts of alien pee?

I woke up at 6 AM with a great idea - put together a care package for an online friend who’s really having a rough year. She lives on pennies a day, and to make matters worse, she’s in Alabama, which we all know has had a terrible time this year with bad weather. So I had extras of some things, and others I just threw into the box for fun - shampoo, vitamins (for “mature” people, OMG she is younger than me), scented shower gel, good face cream, scented body shimmer powder, a soft and cuddly stuffed animal, antibacterial hand soap, make-up, lipstick, a Hello Kitty pouch for little stuff in your purse, a small photo album. And then I sent it off by Priority Mail, so she’ll get it in 2 days!!!
Sat out by the pool today. Very windy. We pretended we were in Kihei, on the island of Maui, except that our wind was chilly. But the sun felt great.
I think we are going to the $2 movies tonight, to see a Nic Cage movie named _Lord of War_ or something similar. I pay for the movie, Mr. beckwall buys the red licorice.
They are paving my street on Monday. I am irritable and cranky, or is that redundant? I’m in a condo complex, and they close the whole damn street (alternating with other streets in the complex) for 3 days. I have to park overnight one street over and then hike to my car, carrying my 20 pounds of books for school in the morning. Bah. And Fed Ex, UPS, etc. cannot deliver during this time, which is crappy since I am expecting about 6 packages next week. Feh.
I spit on you paving company, and even worse I spit on you condo management company for not thinking this one thru better. Like I said, irritable.

Reduced fat Cheese-Its are actually BETTER than the full fat ones. Crispier and more flavor.

Some people’s heads have so many holes they get squicked by the wind.
One, two,
Bombing on you.
Three, four,
Off to war.
Five, six,
No more tricks.
Seven, eight,
Racial hate.
Nine, ten,
Do it again.

I dunno. From the look of that bar I kinda figured if one of them had to go, they just let loose wherever they happened to be.

There’s a song that a couple of the local radio stations play in which the singer laments that he lives “in a hallway with no doors and no rooms”.
Wouldn’t a hallway with no connecting rooms and no doors just be a really lame room? And how’d he get in there anyway?

After doing some research on probiotics, I went to the health food store and bought some capsules of a particular strain of bacteria that’s supposed to be good for IBS. I also bought a HUGE bottle of Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint soap, and a small bottle of the Tea Tree soap. Yay for Dr. Bronner with all his weird philisophical/religious stuff in miniscule print. Mom called me when I got back into my car & I told her what I’d bought. She said, “IBS? Is that Intense Bowel Situation?” I nearly shit myself laughing. I told her she’d just made my day.
Instead of veggie soup, I made a killer chicken chili. I figured, “Why the hell not? My ass is gonna blast anyway.” Still haven’t gotten to the cake… sigh.
I got through the first quarter of 2001: A Space Odyssey before going to bed at 9:30. The movie wasn’t boring-- I was just tired.
I found two more gray hairs. I’ll be 31 on the 28th. This actually doesn’t bother me. I’m gonna let it go gray. Maybe it’ll look nice on me.
My husband got some kind of weird bug bite at work last week while crawling under his machine. Now his little finger is swollen and I squeezed some evil out of the wound. I told him he should tell his boss about it tomorrow, but I’m afraid they’ll be upset that he didn’t inform them the day it happened. We shall see. His boss seems like a pretty cool guy.
A question: Does anyone else marvel at how some people seem to have no filter between their brain and their mouth? I’m wondering if no one else catches this phenomenon.

I have to admit, that was pretty funny.
Alas, sorry guys, but we prefer that MPSIMS threads at least _pretend_ to have more direction than (and I paraphrase with no disrespect to the OP), “Post random crud.” Otherwise, it just amounts to post-padding.
Closing 'er down.
