Good Morninā€™ Yā€™all! Up and caffienatinā€™ and a year older through the magic of the calendar! šŸ˜ƒ I think I shall go out to the pool late morninā€™. We need rain and thatā€™s one of the ways I can usually make it rain. Ok, so it usually takes four to five hours for the rain to come, but if I actually get in the pool on my float and relax I can almost guarantee a mid to late afternoon rain/tboomer. Other than that I got nuttinā€™. ---

Happy Swampyday! Yes, I have been on holiday in deepest rural Hungary where the local shop opens early enough to sell beer to the guys going off to work in the fields all day and the local bar (half hourā€™s drive away) shuts just before the shop opens. Itā€™s a new twist on 24hr drinking. We had a lot of fun with our friends, itā€™s amazing the work theyā€™ve done on their plot of land and how much stuff theyā€™re managing to grow. They have chickens and ducks too so thereā€™s no shortage of eggs. We spent four days at their place, went to the local thermal spa, had cocktails, went to the pub for the landladyā€™s name-day party, went out on the local lake for a potter in a small boat, went to the countryā€™s 2nd largest city to see a band, and finished up in Budapest for a final night out (and visit to the market hall) before we had to come home. Theirs is a pretty tough life but the serenading camo-wearing tractor drivers make it all worthwhile. I havenā€™t read much on here, so rosieā€™s sig to all, until I catch up with myself! ---

Ahemā€¦ Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Swampy! Happy birthday tooooooooo youuuuuuuuu!!! > [@boofae](#): > > Theirs is a pretty tough life but the serenading camo-wearing tractor drivers make it all worthwhile. Ahā€¦WHAT??? So I went to the thyroid doc this morning and all my numbers are perfect _buuut_ I still have symptoms so now I get to go to a rheumatologist. šŸ˜› Iā€™m thinking I could just go to a witch doctor and get the same results. The good news is I had a bone density test and I have great bones! šŸ˜ƒ That is all. Tupug ---

ROFLMAO **Ruble**! Beautiful, Wonderful, Yes! **Puggy** who wouldnā€™t want to be serenaded by camo-wearing tractor drivers? Glad your bones are good. Hope the otherā€™s better soon. Thanks for the bday wishes yā€™all! Yā€™all make a bear feel special! In order to celebrate thus far, I have made and delivered a batch of cheese straws for a bridge benefit on Sattidy. Yeah, Iā€™m a wild man. Plus, I went to the grocery sto and the pool sto. Stop me before I hurt myself! ---

One of my coworkers is having a loud personal conversation on her phone. Iā€™m two rows away from her and I can still hear most of it. Itā€™s about her friend living with the friendā€™s boyfriend. And they have no money. I really donā€™t need to know this. ---

**taxi** of course you need to know all about it. Why else would the conversation be so loud? I think everybody around her ought to keep askinā€™ her for all the juicy details since sheā€™s shared so much with you already. šŸ˜ƒ Thanks for all the bday wishes yā€™all! I feel so lurved! šŸ˜ƒ ---

My husband, who has been up here for a dinner and has heard him, calls him ā€œsoap opera boy.ā€ Today someone has almost come crashing through my wall. Not fun. I have one coworker who is divorced but still fighting it after 10 years and another who hates his entire family and argues with them via the phone hourly. Which is why my cubicle is three levels below ground and behind (I am not kidding) the furnace. I donā€™t need to hear all this crap and I donā€™t have to. I donā€™t even have to see them except by choice. For five times what I am paid you couldnā€™t get me to work anywhere else. Isolation does have its benefits.
