Happy Bubbaschnoodle Day! May treats abound! I’m waitin’ on go home time which cannot get here soon enough. Tonight is men’s night over to the church house so I have that to look forward to, but I already said that, did I not. Also pretty much all the happy, happy, joy, joy holiday stuff will be over by end of next week. I’ll be glad for that as well. Ho, Ho, Freakin’ Ho! Ok, back to irkstuff. Sigh. ETA: Hope the gallbladder is feelin’ better today **BBBobbio**. ---

Darned 5-minute edit window. Darned getting upset over trivial things. Darned things that are going to haunt me for the hours (days? weeks? months?) to come. Darned finger with a chunk taken out of it. I need to go practice driving. ---

I now have a working O2 sensor. 😃 I now need new oil pan gasket and a new boot on my steering column. I’ll be getting that next week along with an oil change. :smack: You find all kinds of things when your car goes up on a lift. Welp, there goes Christmas presents for the niece and nephews. I did get to sit down and have a good long chat with Former Night Audit Lady (who needs a new name). Made the time go quicker. ---

I fell on my tailbone well over two weeks ago now and it still hurts when I do certain things. Ya’ know, like sit on it? :rolleyes: It’s a real pain in the ass. There I said it. Also, today is your last shopping day before my birthday tomorrow. So overnight shipping is the way to go. ---

I applied for a job in Spain today. Shit be _baaaaaaad_ when one is looking to move halfway across the world to get away from it. ---

I fell back asleep and then overslept. I drove my mother to the doctor and because I had overslept I decided to wait in the car for her since I was kind of a mess. It was less than 10 minutes from feet hitting the floor to feet out the door. I don’t want to get old. I mean I’ve already crested the hill and am headed down the slope but damn if I want to be. ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > Damned gall bladder did another overnight sneak attack. Kept me up to about 0200. :eek: and :mad: So sorry. As a 12-day post-op removal of the blasted thing, all I can say is I hope you can have yours out soon, too. Found out I have 4 coworkers who also have had theirs removed, and all agree it’s a good idea. I only had one episode of pain, and from what I understand, it may have been comparatively mild to what others suffer regularly. Boo. Please feel better. ---

The only thing stopping surgery is that no stones were found the first time, and I didn’t go to the ER last night. The local GI guy won’t do surgery unless there’s stones or other signs of disease. Trust me, if they said I needed surgery, I’ll do my IV setup myself. ---

Feeling better by the miracle of chemicals. 😉 Attempting a dose of Jewish Penecillin, since I haven’t eaten much of anything today. Just had a collect call from an anonymous inmate at the Chahles County jail. Hung up on him or her. ---

[QUOTE=picunurse;] Is it the flat screen G-5? They have a manufacturing flaw that fries the motherboard. I had one mb replaced, that went south too. I had to replace the whole thing after that. They can tranfer the data to a new machine, or you can have the hard drive taken out and firewired to use as an external. [/QUOTE] No, it’s the first-gen Intel version. I’d already taken the drive out and copied its contents to a new Mac. This was supposed to be a dedicated machine for DH’s embroidery work. Looks like he’ll continue to use a dodgy Windows laptop unless Santa pops up with the $1500 or so it costs to buy the new Mac version of the embroidery software. (The old Mac was running Windows as well as OS X.) ---

**BBBobbio** - been there done that with the gall bladder, altho mine was full of stones, as was my sweetie’s. It was so nice to have it gone! Happy Monday! I’m fried - I’ll be glad when this week is over because I’ll have a week off, sorta. Driving 800+ miles to spend a few days with the inlaws isn’t a lot of a break, but I won’t have to wake up at 5, so there’s that. My big wait is for August 25 when my mom and I board the plane for London and our cruise. Interim waits are: Getting home from FL on Dec 27, the end of this temp job the first week of March (altho it may continue as a temp/part time gig) and spring. \*\*sari \*\*- getting old is kinda sucky, but for now, it beats the alternative. 😃 \*\*Taters \*\*- you gonna go work with **Nava**?? 😉 If you don’t mind saying, where in Spain is the job? ---

Apparently Higgs brought an offering up on the deck - a dead squirrel. We’re pretty sure she didn’t make it dead, but that doesn’t make it any less gross… ick. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > Sure, but why would you want to? To see how many board members are tired of me. There seems to be quite a list of them by now. Maybe I’ll just bail altogether. Or hide here in this thread. Honest thought: I wonder if a Pit thread about myself would actually work. heh. ---

I have been productive today. I deleted my FB account, set up a new one and a Band one. Got a new sofa and practiced on my new bass amp.
