Drives by in the other direction. Waves again…
Offers Swampy my favorite coffee mug.
Well, since my oven broke again, I’m prevented from doing any more baking for a while… 
And the oven conveniently wrecked the monkey bread and didn’t even get to the focaccia. Stupid oven.
Time for mid-afternoon meal.
**taxi ** - he looked at the Honda and made a derisive sound. Not sure why. I think it’s testosterone poisoning…
Have I mentioned lately that I love Two Lumps?
Have I mentioned that I am gonna be interviewed for the local paper? I got an e-mail last week from one of the co-founders of PaperbackSwap.com, saying that the local paper wanted to do a write up on the site and since I was “a very active member” would I be willing to be interviewed? So it is supposed to happen tomorrow. We shall see.
Sorry about the mug, Swampy. Don’t be too hard on JoeDawg, you can give him a bit of attention without spoiling him…
Congrats to Sean and the new Mrs. Factorum to be!
I don’t know if any of you have read the thread started by Blushing Battleaxe, but I have invited her to join us here.
Very weird dream last night - somehow I was backstage at a performance of The Music Man - probably one of my least favorite shows. And later in the dream there was a coffin with girls in filmy draperies dancing around it. Maybe I read too much fantasy/sci-fi. SpazCat, what did you check out?
I can tell we have low cloud cover and I haven’t even looked out the window. I can hear the rocket launchers or whatever on the firing ranges at Fort Benning.
Have a lovely day, everyone!
Am sick. Am abed. Nose still faucet. Throat still Mojave Desert. Drugs help some. Not fun.
Good bye.
Uh, cite? :dubious:
Aww. I hope you feel better soon. Colds suck. I usually just drug myself up to my eyeballs and pass out for a day.
And MamaTigs, that was No1, not me, accusing you of making yourself an outcast. [/tattletale] :: angel halo ::
I am having…issues. I’ll post more tonight from home. Things are not going well for me personally.
{{{Rigs}}} ::Sending chicken soup through the CD Drive:: It’s home made stuff! with lots of chicken and all kinds of vegetables!
Get better quick!!
Yeah, Tigs, I was the one encouraging you to misbehave 
{{{Shadow}}}
Where’s Cutie? She woke up in a bad mood and hasn’t posted since… you OK?
(Lot’s of people under the weather today – physically and psychologically. Y’all feel better!)
Hi Snakes! And yes, I read Battleaxe’s thread, and I hope she does come over here.
Yes, I’m behaving myself, Haze. Kinda sorta. I’m working a bit between readings of the Dope. Does that still mean I’m an outcast? <sniffle>
Cats are excellent for helping one stay warm when there’s no heat, mmms. Emily was apparently traumatized as a kitten and so is frightened to death of being shut in anything, including crawling under covers, but there’s nothing stopping her from curling up so tight against me it’s as if I have a 6.5-lb heating pad right there. It’s quite lovely. She’s particularly fond of the down comforter, for some strange reason, although the electric blanket runs a close second.
Yay for being able to surf the Dope at work, snowbunny And I’m sure you’re doing fine on the phone; you’ve got a surprisingly courteous phone manner. (Surprisingly because you’re my daughter, not because there’s anything wrong with you! pbbbtht! )
Speaking of work, I long ago accepted the fact that in my line of work, the people who make the recordings and take the accompanying notes often are not good spellers. I never, EVER trust the reporter’s spelling; I verify it myself any way I can (which means I really have become an excellent googler). One of the reporters at the firm I do most of my work for is my ex-boss’s boyfriend – she was the lovely attorney I worked for for several years who I’m still friends with; her boyfriend helped get me on with the firm that went under last year, and so I repaid him by helping get him on with this firm when the other firm went out of business. He does a truly excellent job at making recordings, which is 99% of the battle – if I can hear it, I can make sense out of it. But spelling is NOT his forte. As an example? He just made an interesting spelling error – he put in his notes the two branches of Islam, Sunni and “Shitte.” Oops! :eek: :dubious:
Okay, back to work now that I’ve had my little laugh. Is it Firday yet?
Okay, how did that post end up being posted twice on two different pages? :dubious:
You’re always encouraging everyone to misbehave, Haze! Don’t play innocent with me, young lady, I know your type! And you’re no better, Special One! Just don’t let the noise out of room 304 disturb the neighbors, now, you hear?
{{{{{Shadow}}}}}
Sorry about your cold, Rigs. Please, though, don’t send it out through the internet, okay? Thus far this year I’ve avoided colds, and I would dearly love to continue that trend. <knocks wood frantically>
I’m sorry to hear Joe Dawg will be suffering at your place again, Swampy. That poor creature, I know he just dreads his time with you.
Papa Tigs’ coworkers clearly have their priorities straight. They’re having a potluck Friday, and so since he has an unavoidable meeting tomorrow afternoon that will keep him there late, he was kicked out at 1:30 today to come home and make gumbo. I mean, what’s more important, work or gumbo?
Okay, back to work. Sigh.
We got our pictureback from the party!
Don’t we look purty? 
Awww.
MamaTigs, I don’t encourage Trouble, really! Trouble keeps following me around, making me look bad. I’ve told him to get lost, but he just won’t listen. Honestly, some guys just can’t take a hint. :mad:
:: hugs for Shadow ::
Good Lord, I am so hungry. I don’t know whether I should wait for the beans to be ready or wolf down some ramen beforehand.
{{{Shadow}}}
(Bolding mine) it may be trying, but it’s failing 
Yay for Dotty! Fingers crossed for you, too, re a new job, and looking forward to seeing pics of HRH.
Three days down, two to go. lol I’m insane, yes. It’s not Firday yet, is it?!
I’ve got plenty to keep me busy the next few days too. Ah well, better to be busy than not have anything to do.
Downloading the new Super Granny 4 game - I’m such an awful player too, but I do love to play the computer games. It’s taking a really long time to download too–very unusual with the broadband connect, but we’ll see.
Will probably be back later tonight with a review, hopefully.
I haven’t played a new game in ages. I might be tempted to start a new one over winter break.
Beans are cooking, and water for ramen is on. I am weak. Oh, and our kitchen is clean. Honestly, Cloud Maiden is like a squirrel - I found all sorts of things in the cabinets and fridge - things that I could probably kill someone with. I never knew cleaning the kitchen could be so thrilling.
I had a whole post - finished it up and hit post just as the ferschlunkineh server went down. grrrrr. now I forgot what I said.
hmmmph
I’m taking my ball and going home. pbbbbbbbbbbbbbbth 
Still got no damn heat and now the warranty people are giving me the run around and I am sitting in tears at work as I am so frustrated.
:: hugs for mmms :: I hope that gets fixed soon.
I think there’s an old piece of chewed gum on the windowsill.
