The without a single thought MMP

Yes - welcome! And some of us women want beer too! (Ahem)

Today, was haircut, bookshop, and Sunny-son dr appt. I frittered the day away. I love this week! I’m on the hook for hors d’ouevres for Turkey Day, so I shall have to brave the store tomorrow. And I think I’ll be hitting up Marie Calendars for pie. I don’t like pumpkin (don’t tell my mom), so I’m bringing a few extras. Lemon sour cream and chocolate silk I think. I’m positively giddy. :smiley:

Still no housecleaning done, which was my big to-do for the week. Somehow I’m bearing up under the strain.

Yes - welcome! And some of us women want beer…

Some of us want both beep and chocolate.:slight_smile:

Would that be craft beep or mass produced beep? :D:D:D:D:D

. Dang it. I prefer the mass produced beep.

Up, out, off(line, probably) until the North 'Mericans (at least those with at least one hour of sunlight) are covered in post-turkey drool. Enjoy!

How you doin’? :wink:

Rosie, that was a censor’s beep or “<Bleep>”, since the Eff-Cee-Cee doesn’t allow one to say 7 words over the airwaves. “Coors Diet” is worth than any of those! :eek:

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 46 Amurrkin out and drizzly with a predicted high of 61 for the day. Rumor has it the rainy will go away this mornin’. YAY! I’m tahrd of rain.

I’m lookin’ forward to a quiet day at irk. Havin’ posted that, I have now ensured all heck will break loose. :smiley:

Have fun Spidey!

So tonight will be the great pound cake experience. I’m positively giddy with the excitatement of it all.

Ok, that’s all I got. I need more caffiene and I promised to make for real brekkie th is mornin’ so I reckon I should go and get busy. Snausage links, scrambled aigs, grits and toast are on the menu. All to be prepared whilst fully clothed so get yer minds outta the gutter ya bunch of preverts!

Happy Hump Day Y’all!

It’s a rainy morning at FairyChatEstates, having started some time overnight. It might get some snow mixed in later today, but it’s supposed to be done tonight, and start clearing tomorrow. By Sunday, we could see 60°.

There might be as much as 3" of snow at my mom’s, which is where we’re headed tomorrow, but maybe not. It will be colder there, but it usually is.

I finished crocheting the shawl last night, then started a lap robe with the last of the yarn. It’s going quickly, and I’ll see if I can finish it today with enough time to wash everything and bag it before we go. Since everything is destined for nursing homes or veterans’ homes, I don’t want to send items overrun with dog and cat hair. ugh.

I also need to make the peas-n-carrots and prep the brussels sprouts for roasting tomorrow. It’ll be weird not taking pies again. I suspect we’ll be having store-bought pie this year, since no one else in the family is much for baking. Oh well, not as good as mine, but still - PIE! :smiley:

And on into the day. Happy Wednesday!!

Morning, mumpers! It is a grey, dreary day over here and I had a serious case of the Don Twannas this morning. My bed was warm and cosy, I had two cats snuggled up with me and it was very tempting to just stay there. However, I braved the Great Outdoors and come to irk seeings as the place would fall apart without me.

We are without our line manager/team leader person again (her husband had a hip replacement operation last week and she has taken time off for him), for some reason when she’s not here, everyone comes and asks me stuff instead. I has achieved importance! I is awesome!

In other news, there isn’t much at all. I have Friday off to spend with my mum so will be over there all day and back home on Caturday. Sunday morning I will be taking the lucky mogs to the cattery for their little holiday, and in the afternoon I’ll be on the train to the airport. Vegas beckons!

Yeah, it’s a Dr-Pepper-in-the-morning kind of day.

Was up late last night at a concert and I’m up too late today. Appointment at the job centre this afternoon, and still much to do.

Showered, dressed, and about to assume the reclining crochet position so’s I can finish the lap robe. Huzzah for Netflix!

Midget GMTA! I am sippin’ upon a Diet Dr. Pepper as I post. :smiley: Good look with the job appointment this afternoon.

The irkplace is next to daid this mornin’. Looks like a bunch folks have taken today off. Not that that has any effect on me whatsoever bein’ as I am a squatter in this buildin’. Have I mentioned before that the space I occupy is in exchange for 12 boxes of copy paper per year? Hey, it would be unused space otherwise so I reckon the Jawja Department of Labor decided that’s a deal.

Today’s big task is shiftin’ some files. Do try not to be jealous of me.

Rain now, snow later. Have I mentioned I hate Winter?

blurf.

Emily, I have those cold caffeine kind of mornings sometimes. Usually my poison of choice is Coke Zero or iced tea though.

It’s off to the girly doc again this afternoon, where I fully expect to be released for irk Friday. I’ll have lunch at one of the Vietnamese places near the office, pick up some hoisin and possibly a few other items at the international market and then head home to let the pie bakage begin.

Up, caffeinated, and off today. It’s cold and rainy. I must go to the feed store today, to get food for [del]the livestock[/del]Gordie.

Butters, I like chocolate and beer, but I never had beep.

Swampy, that is cold! You can be one mean ursine!
:dubious:

Swampy didn’t say DQ wasn’t allowed to heat it. :slight_smile:

Nettie to my defense! :smiley:

red pickin’ up hoisin and pie bakeage should probably not appear in the same sentence. Just sayin’… :stuck_out_tongue:

Takin’ a break from file shiftin’. It has gone surprisingly easier than I thought it would. I should be done well before noon even. Go Me!

Not even Chinese style chicken pot pie?

The link supplied elsewhere gives the facts and just reading a bit will give you the flavor. It’s basically for things too mundane for MPSIMS and is one of the few places here to almost never ever use the “C word”.

(Cite?)

The only problem with a pot pie is I get the munchies after eatin’ one. BADUMBISH!

Herein is a lesson on how to and how not to get help from da bear.

Example the first phone call:

::ring::

“Good Mornin’ this is irk, da bear speakin’, how may I help you?”

“Da bear, this is <insert name> and I have a problem. I need a printout of my last two checkstubs. I pulled 'em up from the website and my printer decided to not work anymore. Can I come down, go to the website from your computer and use your printer to print 'em off?”

“Why certainly <insert name>. When you get here, call me from your cellphone and let me know you’re here so you won’t have to stand in line and wait to tell the person at the front desk you’re here to see me.”

“You’re the best bear! See ya shortly.”

Example the second phone call:

“Good Mornin’ this is irk, da bear speakin’, how may I help you?”

“I can’t get my checkstubs so you have to help me?”

“What are you havin’ problems with <insert name>?”

“It wants me to put in a name and password but I don’t know what they are so you have to do it for me.”

WRONG ANSWER!

“I’ve told you before I do not know your user name and password. You set that up yourself. I told you when you did it to write both down and put it in a safe place in case you needed to know and couldn’t remember.”

“I didn’t write 'em down so you have to [Note: I HAVE to take in oxygen as well as drink enough water and eat enough food to keep me alive. Everything else is gravy.] go find my username and password for me.”

“I have no way of doin’ that <insert name> [del]and even if I could we’d be able to watch demon ice skatin’ competition on tv before I would[/del] YOU will have to call the toll free number you see on the website to find out what to do to retrieve your user name and password. Only YOU can do that.”

: <insert name> hangs up on me :

<insert name> the second can also go eat a frozen Banquet turkey dinner for Turkey Day for all I care.

I don’t have childrens so I have to rely on irk for my aggravation. :smiley:
