Coasters Moommm’s away. That means coasters do not need to be used under your drinks. (Shhhh! :o) What to do with them? Put 'em under the back of your heel for a nice coffee table ‘air’ hockey game or go outside for a short course ultimate frisbee game.
Advice
The standard is to look left, right, left before crossing the street. However, with certain paved surfaces, one should look left, up, right, up, left, & up before crossing, [spoiler]like when I drove across the airport runway. :eek:
(it was a small airport)[/spoiler]
I decided (way too late as it turns out) to smoke a brisket today. The first sto’ I went to had a (as in one, single) brisket weighing in at 9½ lbs & no butcher on duty to be able to cut it down. I went to another sto’ & asked the guy stocking meat if they had any. He wasn’t sure, went in the back to check, said they didn’t have any, then asked me if that was beef. :smack: Ummm, you’re working in the meat section, not produce or frozen foods buddy. He asked his cow-orker, who very quickly came over & pointed to the middle of the ground beef. “There’s brisket”
“Ummm, no, that’s ground beef.”
“No, it’s brisket”
“Ummm, sure looks like ground beef to me.”
“We use brisket to make that ground beef” (Sure enough, the label says Ground Brisket) :smack: :smack:
This week’s topic before meandering sideways: What’s your favorite repurpose &/or how are you repurposing your day with it being a (Amurikun) holiday today?
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 74 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 95 for the day. I plan to spend the day fritterin’. That’s right. Nuttin’ big I have to do today so fritter it away I shall. I may even go back to bed shortly.
Spidey you’re livin’ dangerously. You know MOOOOOM is all seein’ when it comes to usin’ coasters. I’m pretty sure you are now on The List.
Ok, really, think I shall go back to bed for a bit.
Happy Moanday Y’all! Happy Labor Day to all the Amurrkin Mumpers!
Acutally I am not a gubmint employee. I work for a national non-profit. However, I applaud the Japanese gubmint for bein’ so forward thinkin’.
I did go back to bed for a bit. Now we’re up and all brekkied. OYKW is headed to his place shortly to do some laundry. We shall meet up later today. He insists on takin’ me to the good Eyetalian place for dindin. I reckon I should just give in and force myself to get taken to dindin. Woe is me.
It’s 73 degrees outside and looks to be a hot muggy day.
Today is happy to be home day. I have some unpacking to do and things to put away. The hospital throws away everything that was unused (they are incredibly wasteful) and encouraged me to take everything with me.
I think doctors be crazy sometimes.
So today I will clean up the mess that is my room and clean up the mess that is me and apologize to all my ‘friends’ who are mad at me for not telling them I was in the hospital (oh sorry I was hardly able to walk and was leaving a trail of blood but forgive me for not thinking of you at that moment) or for not answering my phone/text while I was in the hospital (I’m sorry all the outlets were beyond the reach of the IV pole and I couldn’t charge my phone, next time I will unplug myself because being available to you should have been my priority) and for not calling them to let them know I was home from the hospital (I’m sorry that I thought spending some time with my son and getting some sleep was more important).
Next time I promise to be more considerate and keep my priorities in order.
Spidey, I drive across taxiways on a regular basis. This happens on a naval air station, and there are traffic lights or stop signs at the intersections even.
A C-130 on top of your minivan can wreck your whole day.
Glad others finally decided to join. Thought even the *mention *of no coasters scared ya all away.
Runway, not taxiway. Although it’s 1)unlighted & 2)3700’, including the turf portion. 3) about 40 mi from a major military base, so I don’t see too many C-130s attempting to land there but even a small Cessna can tire marks on the roof that ain’t gonna buff out. :eek:
Cap’n, you’re single, some Roller Derby Girls are cute; however, remember before trying your best pickup line that they are Roller Derby Girls & have nasty elbows & body flippin’ maneuvers. You may wanna be like the Madagascar penguins. Just sayin’.
I walked to the library to drop off a book I’d finished (I like to get them returned as soon as I’m done to avoid fines). My thought was I’d go to Mickey D’s to get a biscuit for breakfast, but the place was in chaos due to several people not showing up so I made their lives easier by not waiting around.
Big plans for the day include cooking chicken and making hummus. Thrill to my exciting life.
sari, was this another stint in the hospital? And, your friends are jerks if they’re seriously giving you a hard time about not contacting them in a “timely” manner. If it’s just the “why didn’t you call” kind of thing, it’s pretty much what people say when they care about you and may just have been a little clueless about the difficulty in doing so.
I can’t think of anything off the top of my head that I’ve repurposed. I know I do it all the time, but nothing is coming to mind at the moment.
I don’t have any big plans. I plan to just hang out here and perhaps knock out a few small chores.
Aside from at the allotment, where I use a lot of randomly sourced wood to build things (badly), I can’t think of much stuff I’ve repurposed lately.
Just got back from town, where I went shopping for work shirts- I had to get the kiddy ‘back to school’ ones, 'cos for some reason they just don’t make wimmin’s shirts with proper collars. Dunno why.
Also went to the horsepistol to get that durn patch testing finally done. I’m now not allowed to shower or do anything much until firday. I’m also covered in random pen notes, indicating which dot is which.
I preferred the stickers I used to get from the dentist (they had tigers on!), but it will be nice to know if there is an outside thing causing my stoopid skin problems.
I now have an excuse for being a slob for the rest of the week. I’ll still use coasters though, one does have some standards.
I’ve repurposed several different items into tools in my studio. A dental pick is an awesome tool when making paper lace and other fine work. Mini spatulas from the kitchen have an abundance of uses, including palette knives and lifters. Toothbrushes are fun to splatter paint with as well as good for cleaning.
Ironically, I repurpose t-shirts to make coasters. I need to make another few since I lost one at the laundromat and my only one left is in the hamper.
It’s a holiday today here in Canada too. Only difference is we call it Labour Day instead of Labor Day. I have the day off but am working on craft projects.
I am content because I bought TWO 12 packs of tp. One for upstairs, one for downstairs. It is 78 and muggy so I am staying inside, watching tennis, and maybe working on a scrapbook. If nothing else, I’ll just push around pictures and paper and pretend I’m working on the scrapbook.
yes Taters I had a doctor appointment on Friday and she sent me to the ER where I had to get 2 units of blood and a larger dose of meds.
It was an experience.
Some of my ‘friends’ are a little more demanding of my time and I don’t want to sound bitchy but sending me a text to ask me how I am is okay, sending me a text about your latest fight with your bf is not. It’s not that I don’t like them but some of them can be draining and I’m not up to dealing with them right now.
My mother asked me if I am mad at her and I told her yes I am and why. Not that it does any good to tell her.
I’ve had it with her bullshit and lies too.
Hi Everyone! Nice lazy Monday today.
Let’s see… I’ve repurposed old blue jeans. Cut them up and sew them into little catnip stuffed pillows for my cats. The denim holds up well to the biting and kicking of catnip-crazed kitties.
Also 2 liter bottles cut down into rings work great around tomato and pepper plants in the garden to keep off the cutworms.
I know there are other things I’ve repurposed, but at the moment that’s all that comes to mind.
