AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!! Hockey season is over!
Congrats to the Ducks!
Yay, Rosie! Driving is good!!
But boo! on no water again, LiLi. That is really obnoxious.
Cute fish, nashi!
And now for the good news. Okay, fellow MMP Jerichoites: Jericho lives! A letter from CBS announced the good news late this afternoon, and for those of you who’ve missed episodes, here’s the even better good news:

At this time, I cannot tell you the specific date or time period that “Jericho” will return to our schedule. However, in the interim, we are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show to new audiences. This includes re-broadcasting “Jericho” on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS Audience Network (online), releasing the first season DVD on September 25 and continuing the story of Jericho in the digital world until the new episodes return.

So I’m a very, very happy Tigs this evening. Even if it is a cheesetastic program, it’s a really enjoyable cheesetastic program! Plus maybe we can finally learn where those ICBMs were aimed!
Anyway, while my computer did its weekly virus scan, I spent an hour with my feet up winding some gorgeous bamboo yarn into balls so I can use it. I recently got a ball winder, but I need a swift too to really do it right. So I just hand-balled it. (You may all now commence to <snerk>!) I can’t wait to knit with it – I wonder who got the idea to turn bamboo into yarn, anyway?
I guess I should do something constructive now that my computer is once again certified virus-free. Or at least hopefully so.
Hi!
swampy dressed yet? I don’t wanna look.
Went with the child to see the watch she wants to buy me for Dad’s Day. We always pre-approve gifts between the two of us. It’s nice, so she had the man set it aside. It’s good to have a kid that sells jewelry.
Getting ready to head up and get some sleep before the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL.
Not that I’m happy or nuthin’ like that.
Nope.
school ends early in your area? Cousin’s school has classes right thru the last week of June - usually the last day coincides with her b-day (she’s rather pissed off at that) but the kids always shower her with end of year gifts so it kind of makes up for it.
Kind of typical midwest timing for end of school. My district was out last week as were several other local ones. A few are out at the end of this week. My niece and nephew have school till next Tuesday and that’s REALLY LATE for these parts.
nash, that is an awesome fish tank. I love that Buddha sitting in the midst of those fishies; gives the whole thing a certain je ne sais quoi.
Li-li, here’s hoping your water gets fixed ASAP.
rigs, That Guy refuses (on some weird principle) to dress up for anything other than weddings and funerals. We’ve had two formal events this year and each time he’s shown up in something ridiculous. For the winter ball he just showed up in a shirt with a yellow tie around his neck. :dubious:
Had an exhausting day teaching classes and hanging out with the parents. Not that I minded the latter, but I was still trying to recover from last night. It was really nice hanging out with my mom, though. I missed her so much this year. Of course I couldn’t tell her the real reason why I’d been so frazzled these past few months (That Guy) but it was comforting just to get a hug from her anyway.
On behalf of the Asio-European Contingent… Oh, wait, I did this already, didn’t I? Nevermind. OK, Just “Good Morning, Y’all!”
**Rosie **-- Never got a chance to post again yesterday; **congrats **on driving!
**Haze **-- Ties are eviiiil. It’s the first bit of “dressy” that should go, not the last! (Says this proud non-owner of any ties at all)
Yellow ties are doubly evil. Just goes to show…
Where’s my coffee?
Oh, right, downstairs in the work-place kitchenette. And I’ll have to go make it myself. Boo 
Later. Need coffee!
GRATZ, BIOROSIE
Congratulations!
Maybe he’s related to my coworkers… was his first job in the pharmaceutical industry?
The process of creating a patch and pushing it through to the “real” computer involves about 8 people. For each step, I have to go in person to see whomever has to do it; the only case when it’s OK not to go in person is when they’re in another location. Wonder if I could convince these freaks that I do need to face-to-face with the remote programmers? India sounds like a real interesting country to visit!
Full underwear or only bottom? I sure hope there are no socks involved, socks with no trousers are about as anti-fab as it gets. Thights or boxers? Bored minds want to know!
Gratz on the work thing, tachi, and to Jericho fans for the series.
Now if Mr underoos gets his ass into a job and Drae also finds one, we’ll all be a very productive MMP!
Just a quick flit past the MMP to say hello - I have a busy day with the dentistry results so that will keep me occupied until hometime!
Beerverages were very yummy last night and I was very glad of my lie-in this morning. I am not so glad of the £300 bill that I’ll get later when I pick the car up, but at least it also means I get to go home early to collect it before the garage closes.
Yay for Rosie though, it’s great to have that freedom back again!
Yays, boos, hugs and crossed appendages for the rest of you, as appropriate (or otherwise, in Swampy’s case.
I’m up and caffeinating, then off to work. The dog farted.
I said we were to full for appreciation to ensue.
Actually we were asleep when you posted this. So, no I was not dressed. I am now though.
Boxers. We’re both boxers kind of guys. And… we were slipper socks. My feet get cold.
Haze I’m glad visitatin’ with the 'rents went good.
Doggio did Maggie blame it on the cat?
Ok, up and all caffienated. This mornin’ I’m gettin’ a haircut then whatever else I come up with to do the rest of the day. Tomorrow mornin’ I have back to back interviews, so appropriate/inappropriate appendage crossin’ will be appreciated.
Later Y’all!
Ever had a colleague you really wanted to strangle? I’ve got one right now. In fact I’ll make that a list of two. I’m so angry just now, I could jack this job in and not care where next week’s grocery bill’s coming from.
Vertical. Ventilating. Just finished caffeinating.
Swampus, any nibbles from previous interviews to report? Good luck with the new ones today; leave the cape at home. Just sayin’.
The sveltesurgeon visit was uneventful. I’ve gained 5 lbs since I saw him last, but I’ve also lost some in between visits as determined by the tightness of my favorite blue jeans. It’s not unexpected, because I’ve entered the stage where should I not actively diet and exercise, but also also be pretty passive about not blowing the program, I’ll yo-yo in a 10 lb range for several years. I still want to get down to 199.5 long enough to record that I was there, so there’s more dieting and exercise in my future. Besides, I’ll be able to get into even smaller foundation accesses in my gear… 
VWife is mad at me. I had ambulance duty tonight, so I’ll be spending the night at the rescue station. She always gives me a raft of crap for pulling duty, or even showing up for work days. No time is good in her mind. I’m supposed to be home waiting on her hand and foot (even when she’s not been in a wreck) in between mowing the yard and doing other chores. :rolleyes:
Going to the doc today. I’m a little nervous about doing the stairs without someone there to catch me. But Terrorist said I did fine. It’ll just take me a while to get started down the outside steps. The inside ones probably won’t be a problem.
The snooze button on my clock no longer works. I need to replace the damn thing. Again.
Deep… breaths…
If you’re going on a rampage and let us know in advance it counts as premeditated, right?
Damn. I left my sunglasses where the three of us had dinner last night.
Cuervo left a pile of puke on the dining room floor.
He also apparently had some midnight cat-sex on the floor next to my bed. That’s where I woke and found his girlfriend, the stuffed grey beanie baby cat.
On the other hand, it IS the last day of school…
Now that children is what we call a top notch example of TMI. 
Bobbio a few nibbles but nuttin’ I can get all excited about. Sorry about the troubles on the homefront. Ya just gotta do what ya gotta do sometimes.
Oh, in case I sorta disappear over the weekend, it’s because I’ll be at my sis’s place. BIL’s bday is Saturday and a big bash is planned around the pool. We’re goin’ up Saturday mornin’ in separate vehicles cause ACBG will need to come back on Sunday but Ima hang around to spend some time with mom and come back Monday mornin’. Wouldn’t want y’all to get all worried.
I often wonder if she’s related to JoeDawg…
Then, don’t click here!
Yes. Lots.
tashii, does the gas mask fit the Buddha? It would be cool. The fish are cute.
The water was turned back on at eight or so. I talked to the landlady and she assured me they’re not turning it off again for another month. :rolleyes: I’m going to buy some bottled water just in case. Aargh.
Day four- no throwing up yet. I did feel queasy and yucky most of yesterday. I ate a steady diet of bagels and toast. I’m hoping today I can eat real food.
