rigs, MBG, how was that thunderstorm, eh? My Internet was down for at least a couple hours after that. On the other hand, it makes a good backdrop for singing along with a guitar.
Gosh, maybe we’ll get rain too. But not before they finish fixing gas lines…pleeeez.
Tried plugging in my little hand vacuum. The outlet is dead. I’ma cycle through all the circuit breakers tomorrow just to make sure I’m flipping the correct switch, but…I’m guessing I need to call someone. Bummer. Anyone know a good exorcist? 
Why am I still awake?
GT
There are several where I go for physical thera . . . oh, that would be exercist, wouldn’t it? never mind 
gt, thanks!! 
You’re a genius. You saved me from despair. It took a bit of fiddling and digging around, but I found it. And it worked!
I hope your electrical outlet situation gets fixed. Sorry, I’m no help with that either.
**
Haze**, glad you had a good date. I’m a little late for that but I was going to say that you should have given him your Teh Sick so he believed you. I hope you have a good time with Scottish Darling.
Lunch, yeah, I was locked out due to the Dope being down last night, so I couldn’t do my good night routine. It was discombobulating for sure. I hate it when my routine is thrown off.
So I’ll say two good mornings to you and Dotty. Good morning y’all.
[singing]You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray[/singing]
Good night everyone else! Have a good one!
Booth 21 it is, FCM. I’ll join you at your house and head over there with you, is probably the easiest. Should be fun!
I have been seriously nonproductive this evening. And, alas, I just really don’t care. This isn’t helping me get my work done, but oh well. Sometimes ennui is more entertaining than enthusiasm. Or something. :dubious:
Holy crap! I was just looking at the weather for the next few days and Sunday night it’s supposed to get down to around 35 F! IN AUGUST!!! Must be some cold front coming through is my guess. But still. Damn.
35? In August? Brrr! So how was work today, snowbunny? Learn everything you need to know about how to groom dogs? 
PaleBunny, please send some of that cold my way. Either snail mail or through the cd drive, I’m not picky.
Libby’s memorial service is tomorrow morning. I spent most of the day with her sisters, who are wonderful ladies. A lot like Lib, very quick to laugh. I’ll be going over to Libby’s apartment after the service tomorrow to see if there is anything I can do to help. I followed one of them out today to get her van fixed, so I’ll take her back out tomorrow or Friday to pick it up.
I hope to be a bit more “with-it” in a few days; right now I am just kind of blah. I am very angry at the hospital Libby was in - she got three infections while she was there. I am sure that is why she went down so fast. I hope her sisters consider seeing a lawyer.
Snakes it sucks that places that are supposed to be helpin’ folks get better sometimes make people get worse. I’ll be keeping Libby, her family and friends (especially you) in my thoughts and prayers).
Howdy Y’all! I have attempted to post on no more than four occasions yesterday and today. :mad: They better dang well fix whateverthehell is wrong is all I gotta say. I hope everybody gets to read at least this post.
Anyways, whatever I had to say in those posts is now forgotten, so boo, yay, congrats, awww, woohoo, ick, etc as appropriate.
It’s hawt here! Da bear is pooped from work, so Ima have me a beerverage and turn in for the night.
I’ll be more lovely and lively tomorrow provided I get to post, I promise.
Nite Y’all!
ETA: WOOHOO!!! I finally got to post!
Hi all! :waves:
I took a break from the boards for a while, but I’m back. Or at least, if the boards stay up, I am.
Jahdra’s back! Jahdra’s back! Yay! :::jumping up and down::: We missed you! I hope you’re doing well.
Missed you Jahdra!!
Gah. Someone pack for me. I’m so bad at packing.
Argh. I really want to take my guitar - Scottish Darling and I love nothing more than to sit on the beach and sing along to a guitar - but my suitcase is almost as big as I am. Plus the guitar case I inherited from Scottish Darling is made so the guitar has to be carried upsidown, and I am too small to pull it off. Half the time it drags on the ground. :mad:
Triple post. So sue me.
Wait, which one of us is your only sunshine? Quick, pick one! And, you’re off-key
Oh, and good night Glad GT solved your computer problems for you (as all I would do is gave essentially the same advice, several hours later, anyway.)
**Haze **-- Why not take two smaller suitcases? As long as they have rollers, you’ll probably be better off than with one humongous one.
And I’m glad that second date went well, too!
On preview:
Oooh… cute! Both of you!!
**GT **-- I feel your pain. I’m at home right now, waiting for the plumber, who is hopefully supposed to show up sometime between 8 and 10 AM :rolleyes:
At least we do have water while I wait. And electricity…
Welcome back, Jahdra!
**Tigs **-- 35 F? Can we switch letters? I’ll lend you my “C” and you lend me your “F”? 'Cos otherwise we’re in the same boat. (OK, I lie, it’s only about 32 (C) on a daily basis. But still)
SNL – it’s never easy. In the end, all you can do is be there for those who need help to get through the rough times; which is what you’re doing.
And that concludes the report of your bored MidEast correspondent… Good Night to anyone who’s still up, **Good Morning **to anybody reading this in the morning (lazy 'Murkins! :p)
Is it working now? It wasn’t working last night…
Anyway, thanks God it’s THUUUUUUUURSDAY! Tomorrow I’m leaving the land of foie-gras, taking a train from the land of chocolate to that island where it always rains; WoSW-fest with the guild and a week visiting with one of the guildies, who’s threatened with taking me for walks through Sherwood Forest (so I’m bringing my hiking boots).
Yesterday one of my colleagues had an incident that got his blood pressure all a-jumpin’:
“Fast! Urgent! Priority 1!!! Must make a program to copy today data we’ll receive next week.” For some reason the client refused to believe that the laws of Physics apply to him. Maybe he thinks that since Universal Gravitation is only a Theory, it doesn’t work?
But today… today anything that comes in is Not Mine, la la laaaa! I’m going on VACASHUUUUUN!
Wait, you’re taking a train from Belgium to … what’s the name of that island near Seattle? How in the blazes does that work? 
Yay for vacation, though! And you don’t even have to drag a family along!! But… rest assured that something will come up today that somebody will consider an emergency that you must deal with. It’s the “day before vacation…” syndrome – it’s the law! :rolleyes:
Morning. Caffeinating. Yawn.
Did an ambulance run last night, but it was so durned boring, I’m not going to tell you about it lest I fall asleep while typing. Instead, a joke:
you’re in Idaho for cryin’ out loud! Of course it’s colder!
Hi Jahdra! We missed you!
I got more sleep last night but I feel worse!
What follows is my family’s definition of “cool”:
An English businessman was about to leave his office on a Friday afternoon when a telegram arrived. He signed it in and dropped it in his in-box, saying “my, what horrible news I will surely receive on Monday.”
Any bad news that arrive today will be dealt with either by my deputy or ten days from now
