I say you should start us off **BioRosie** , just cause. That is if we don’t already have a volunteer. **Soapy** glad your family and you are ok but dang! I guess the best we can do is keep the families of those who died in our thoughts and prayers and hope most everybody made it out alive. Brunch was good, as usual. Afterwards we had a Liturgy Committee meeting which meant I got home around two this afternoon. We had to discuss Lent, Holy Week and how to fit in our St. Patrick’s celebration. That’s a tough thing about having a church named after a Saint’s whose Saint Day falls during Lent every year. I have started on defilthyfication. The master bedroom and bath and kitchen are spiffed. Next up the livin’ and dinin’ rooms. Later ETA: **Muppet** you slacker! Pre-made cheese! I am appalled! 😛 ---

We don’t have a volunteer lined up, so I vote for **rosie** as well!!! 😃 Took a nap. Need to get some work done and Valentines put together. But I feel like another nap. Back later with further reports. GT ---

My daughter says thank you for the birthday wishes, **GT**! We also spent part of the afternoon working on valentines. _grins_ I gotta whole bunch of glitter glue, but have been restraining myself … really. {{{{{{{ **Soapy** }}}}}}}} and her fellow citizens, esp. the EMT/fire and police dept. people. What a terrible thing to have happen. ☹ The fed. govt. will be closed in the DC metro area tomorrow - it was decided that it would be too dangerous, as there are some roads that haven’t been plowed at all yet. And many people are still without power. I frankly don’t see how I am going to get around in it, even after plowing and digging out, but I guess I’ll manage. Temps are going below freezing tonight, so tomorrow morning everything will be frozen up. :eek: Stay warm everyone! ---

Now I’m back home and screwing around on here instead of doing something that I really need to get done. Go me! :rolleyes: I’d better get to work before \*\*swampy \*\*gives me a talking to. 😛 ---

Ok, do we need to put this to a vote?

> [@gardentraveler](#): > > I’m so proud to be participating in this democracy! 😃 Me too! Especially when one gets to invoke the unwritten Mumper rule: She or he who asks if there’s anybody scheduled to start the MMP shall be [del]drafted[/del] voted by a majority of Mumpers to be said starter if no one is on board to start the new MMP. Or, the simplified version: You asked, so it’s yours. 😃 ---

Oh Please! You could post the first sixteen lines of the _Prologue To The Cantebury Tales_ or let Smokey walk across the keyboard a few times and we’d go with it. 😃 ---

If Lucretia could start one, Smokey could too. [Cat on a Keyboard-A nonhijacked MMP](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=403173) Had to work after all. I went grocery shopping, Gordie knocked a bag out of my hand when I got home, and broke a dozen eggs. He is on _The List_. ---

Lasagna is in the oven. Also, almost every cooking utensil and mixing bowl and cutting board I own is now dirty, along with several pots and pans. Now I remember why I only make lasagna once every couple of years. I don’t suppose the Kitchen Elves will make an appearance and wash my dishes for me, huh? Oh well, Im’a go crochet for a while and hope that they show up in the meantime. (or maybe The Boy will feel guilty enough that he’ll take care of it… yeah, that’s the ticket) ---
