I laughed out loud at this.
I’ve told the story before, so you old timers can skip to the next post. I was 3 or 4 years old, and we were visiting my grandparents. I happened to be in the bathroom at the same time Grandma was cleaning her dentures, and I was dumbfounded to see her reach in to her mouth and pull them out. I tried to do that myself, and my teeth stayed. 
Then I said, “But Grandma, God glued mine in!”
I am wearing medium blue jeans, my favorite leather shoes, socks with dragonflies and a pink cashmere sweater. I will spend the day under a (mostly) white lab coat embroidered with my name.
Hope all is well with Dotty.
Um, if anyone has a spare hug and don’t mind sending it over, I could use one…

Will three do the job?
{{{Soapy}}} Although, I have to be careful not to get any on me because soap in the chicken wouldn’t taste very good. 
Ok, so picture this… GilaMonster’s daughter’s school is having a fundraiser and we’re donating a cheesecake and a fancy pie server so of course I’ve waited until the last possible moment to bake the cheesecake. I get all of my ingredients together and then I go searching for a springform pan. I stomp angrily around the house as the only pan that I can find is a 12" round. (I’m looking for an 8 or 9.) I finally resign myself to using the bigger pan and therefore needing more ingredients. Not 30 seconds after I added the additional 1 1/2 pounds of cream cheese I see an appropriately sized pan taunting me from the top of a very tall bookshelf. :smack: I ended up making two normal sized cheesecakes. So, I guess the good news is that we all know what TVMan and I will be eating later today…
{{{{{{{Soapy}}}}}}}
Mmmmmmmmmmmm, cheesecake! I can has noms???
{{{{{soapy}}}}} How’s zat?
rebo, those are funny!
I did finally hear from former HR director and I’ll be picking up my severence check next Friday. I will not rest easy until said check is in the bank and cleared.
I am working on my resume still. I’ve been getting a lot of help from my career coach. Next I gotta craft a cover letter. I feel like I am back in school.

Back here in the slave pit, much to do, not enough time.
Hai everyone. Sorry for being MIA this week… I’ve been slaving away on articles and blog stuff, and there just doesn’t seem to be much time left over for anything else.
Since we’re all talking about what we’re wearing today, I’m in grey cords with a teal shortsleeved top and a chocolate brown cardigan. Oh, and comfy black Mary Jane flats, because I have to hoof it to the chocolate place near work during my lunch break so’s I can get some photos… the photos I took last week just didn’t turn out quite right.
{{{Soapy}}} and good vibes for Dotty and rosie’s sig to the rest of ya’s.
zoooooooooooooom
Thanks for the hugs…
Someone got a little friendly with their hands though. You know who you are.
:tries to look innocent:
Whoa!! How many hands are we talking about, now…?
Here’s a few more hugs, by the way… {{{Ivory}}} ::slips hands in::
Hey, first on 4 for you!
Nooner used 4 hands?!? I’m good, but I ain’t that good… ;)
Hah! You folks have definitely cheered me up. You folks and the new puppy cam (squeeee).
I was? So I was…! I didn’t notice. I was… distracted 
Howdy Y’all! Survived another day. Two more to go. I’m also waitin’ on the super ick weather to get here. I keep bein’ told it’s on the way.
Funny stories Rebo!
{{{Soapy}}} because one can never have too many hugs. Like tp it’s one of those things one cannot have enough of.
I’m zappin’ some homemade chicken noodle soup for dindin tonight. Plus, I’ll toast up some French bread just cause it’s good.
Muppet sure, gotta go back to the chawklit store cause the pics were bad. Uh huh. We alllllllllll believe that don’t we?
Did I killded the MMP?
So much for soup for dindin. OYKW had him a gnawin’ and a cravin’ for some Chinese food so we went to the Chinese [del]hog trough[/del] buffet place. It was pretty good. Usually it is at best so-so. Surprisin’!
OK, I have had absolutely enough of this winter and its snow. We’re being threatened with 16-24" this weekend. It’s not pretty. It’s not fun. It’s a humongo pain in the patoot!! grrrrrrr!!!
And on top of that, we won’t have any shoveling help. Daughter and SIL just left for FL. A friend of theirs died today - 30 y/o woman with a history of diabetes. They don’t know all the details, but they’re on their way south. They’ll be driving thru all that nasty rain, but it beats snow, I guess. They plan to come back on Monday.
My day was yet another day from hell. But I’m almost done the main part of the project from hell. I’ve got 6 more slides to make, and I’m supposed to sit down with one of our Marines tomorrow and get educated on certain specific military tactics. Should be interesting.
Anyway, with the evil snow approaching, I’d appreciate any good vibes to keep the power on. If we lose our flow of electrons, we lose everything. We can heat with the wood stove, but being on a well, we’d lose water. Plus the fishies lose heat and filtration. So let’s just keep the lights on, mmkay?
I’m thinking I should get some chocolate emergency supplies, ya think?
{{{Soapy}}}
{{{Taters}}} - don’t let the bastards get ya down!
Everybody else, help yourselves to smoochies, gropes, pinches, or gooses as desired.
I’ve been good today, more or less. I needed to see one teacher today to discuss the independent study. I actually made it to his morning office hours! Then got some sushi from the cafeteria, had lunch in the dorm, headed down to class (early). I realized when I was halfway there that I forgot my homework and hurried back to get it. Managed to get to class late, but before the teacher.
Now I’m having a snack of Coco Puffs before going to my parents house to go to taijitsu tonight. Tomorrow I have a follow up at way too early (ok, 9am, but…) then working a bit (for money), then working on homework (not for money). I have a phone interview about getting unemployment benefits too, which may end up being awkward if they call while I’m at work.
I’m home! And we are being promised snow as well. Boo. I’ve heard everything from 2-4 inches to 5-8. We’ll see how that turns out.
Lots more hugs for Soapy.
I also found all those grandparent stories funny, Rebo. Thanks for sharing.
I’m also going :dubious: at the “have to take pictures of chocolate” story, Muppet.
Sorry to hear about the kids’ friend, FCM. Glad they’re able to go to FL, at least.
Also, hope your project is over soon; sounds like no fun.
Glad things are going better, STG.
Not sure what I want for din-din. I have some lasagna; maybe I’ll zap some.
Off to figure out what to do with my evening.
