All together now: “Hands across the water. Hands across the sea…”
Thank you so much for that! I have never known the true lyrics to that song. I kinda mumble my way throught that part when I sing it. (I guess I should have looked them up!)
Both of you ladies are entirely too young to remember them anyway. 
Thank you, Sunspace. I only tried to teach welby to do undulations because welbywife said that he thought bellydancing was easy. Pthibbit.
It’s another beautiful sunny day, and today I am not working, and we’re going out for lunch with my parents to a Chinese buffet. Should be fun.
Here’s a butter tart recipe. There are tons of different variations on butter tarts, but they’re much like pecan pie minus the pecans. Yum

Gah–I meant SKY, not sea! (I am shamed by my name. I have brought dishonor to it. I bow my head and rend my garment).
query-is that rend or rent? It would make a difference. One would destroy it and the other could make me some moola!
Pug -a pt yesterday said he thought I was 28. Looking at my 44 Bday (in summer), those words were nice to hear. I told Daughter this and her reply was, “was he blind?”.
I told my husband and he said, “did the guy have Alzeimer’s?”
Me and Rodney Dangerfield–no respect. Me and Red Skelton–never get a dinner…
I’m getting a refund from the dentist! See, I paid up front for the last couple of visits and my insurance actually reimbursed in a timely manner. The receptionist called me to tell me she was putting a check in the mail to me today. YAY! It’s for a little over two hundred bucks, too!
In other news, I got my TB test this morning. Now I have to remember to go back Thursday and get it read. I may need reminders on Thursday. Tonight I’m going to install my new space saver coffee maker and, it’s Gilmore Girls night as well as spend the night night. The menu for tonight is turkey sammiches and tater (N.O.T.) salad. Such an exciting life I live.
I still want to take a clue by four upside some parents’ heads.
I’m here but don’t have much to add today. I’m stressed over trying to get everything done at work before my last day on Thursday plus getting packed and everything. Moving’s tough!
Woot! It looks like things are shaping for our own little mini dopefest!
I rechecked my class agenda, and it looks like I’m released from class at 1600 hours. Supposedly, the Skyline Building is across the street from my hotel, which means it wouldn’t take me long to get back there.
Now we just need to figure out when and where to meet. Please remember I’m totally unfamiliar with the area so I have no idea how long it takes to get anywhere.
I’m up for any kind of food.
I’ll try and pop in later today. I’ve got reports and ad hocs to run now.
Oh, my! Thank you!

Where is everyone?? No one’s posted to the MMP in HOURS! Are you all ok?? I’m so worried now!
Taxi, I’ve been pontificating on my my wife shouldn’t be allowed to use sharp objects. I’ll grovel to you for playing in a thread away from the MMP.
Bobbio I read that thread. Good to know the Vife’s ok.
The list of people I want to smack with a clue by four is growing and growing.
Also, nobody loves me. I bumped my coming to Tampa thread yesterday and not one stinkin’ post has been made since. Well, Fine! Poopyheads! So There! 
swamped with work and trying not to get caught, lest they take the internet away from us also.
Right now I’m enjoying a yummy chopped salad from the local gourmet deli - choice of ingredients and dressing over choice of lettuces, chopped up right in front of your eyes. Expensive, but worth it.
Can I be Thursday’s?
And ranch dressing? You live in the south! That makes it OK.
Frigging people expecting me to work.
The Kid’s luggage made it here. I had the man bring it to me at work. I opened it to make sure it was all intact, and got a handful of some lotion from a bottle that exploded in it.
Smell my hand? MMMMMMMMMM.
I’ve been trapped in a room with Structured Framemaker, and I only just escaped. In a few moments I’m goign to obtrude myself into another room full of hardware, some of which I am going to proceed to dismantle and/or photograph.
In the meantime, I am enjoying the superbly-beautiful spring weather we have here. The trees are leafing out in delicate shades of green, the sun is warm, the breezes are cool and refreshing, the air smells of new growth and fresh earth, and the women are amazing.
I love spring. 
Now, now donkeybear. If it already has cheese, gravy and sausage, adding ranch dressing would be like gilding the lily wouldn’t it?
maybe all the cool Tampa folk (both of them) are out of town that week
You should be! I’m hiding in a tree, watching the MMP through my binoculars, just waiting to make my move.
