Looks like I’ll be in the office tomorrow morning. I was going to come in on Moanday, but SIL has to work. Glad he’s employed - hope this one lasts. And it also looks like we’re not going to the sailboat show after all. \*\*FCD \*\*drives me crazy sometimes. I make a suggestion, he says “Yeah, sure.” then when the time comes, he changes his mind. You’d think after almost 36 years I’d be used to it… At least I hadn’t bought the tickets already. Happy Thursday, anyway. ---

Morning all. Stayed up late to watch the Dodgers lose, then woke at 0630, so nappage is a likely event. Temperature high is supposed to be about 80F today, still a lot nicer than 95F. **FCM** , like my Mom used to say about my Dad ‘divorce never; murder possibly.’ **Doggio** , while I grok your naming, I think **Butters** M&M is better and less…esoteric. **Baker** , hope the news in a couple weeks is all good. You have friends here to support you. **shady** , you’re a good nephew, but auntie needs to stay away from the booze. Now need to forage for sustenance. ---

Happy Thorsday! It was a chilly morning in the 40s, but the sun is shining and it’s going to get up to 70 today. I see some yard irk happening. As to M&M or Duke, that is a moot point now. I’m sleepy for some reason today. Fighting to stay awake as I am taking to customers. ---

Howdy all! Been irking as usual. Just waiting for 1700 to get here. I am tahred. This is a three day weekend coming up. It is my turn to help out on Sat so I may have to irk a half day. The girl did just fine last Sat alone but with the holiday we may be very busy. If I do come in on Sat I will just take a half day sometime during the pay period. Since I don’t have a boss anymore I will just do it. Tis weird not having a boss. My old boss is now in Guam. I should email him and see how they are settling in. Y’all be good. ---

Thank God its FRIDAY!!! At least for me. Suck parsimmins youse 5-day-a-week suckas! And while its on my brain **SWAMPY ALERT SWAMPY ALERT** – did you ever figure out whose wife did get hospitalized? I know its silly but I’ve actually been worried for her all week. ---

> [@kopek](#): > > And while its on my brain **SWAMPY ALERT SWAMPY ALERT** – did you ever figure out whose wife did get hospitalized? I know its silly but I’ve actually been worried for her all week. Many years ago, my sister was in the horsepistol; she was unexpectedly released on Firday afternoon. Uncle, not knowing of her release, stopped to see her on Sat morning & walks into her room. Her bed had been filled with a black woman - clearly **not** my sister. The far bed was an Indian woman who was sitting up facing the window. Her body shape & hair style was somewhat similar to my sister’s from behind. He says, “Guess who!” & she turns around. Realizing it was not my sister, he says, “Aww, you’ll never guess” & walks out. To this day that poor woman doesn’t know who it was. 😃 ---

\*\*FCD \*\*wanted BBQ, so we went to Smokey Joe’s for supper. Roxy invented a new bean dip - she dipped her green beans in mashed potatoes. 😃 So, dinner and a show! 😃 I’m about to assume the knit position. I’m going to work tomorrow for at least half a day - things are getting crazy and I’ll do what I can to help out. Because I’m nice, dammit! ---

I hire out a lot of stuff that I probably should do myself. But for safety issues, I refuse to attempt even the smallest electrical job that connects to mains power, I will always hire that out. ---

To this day that poor woman doesn’t know who it was. 😃 Ages ago a friends mother was in the hospital so I went to visit. I asked for Mrs. Burn’s room at the front desk, was given a room number, and went up. Wrong hospital. This Mrs Burns was black (and trust me — my friend was so white he could have been used as the illustration in the Oxford Unabridged) and so happy to have a visitor that I ended up there a half hour. I forget how I bluffed my way through – something about seeing the name and remembering her from the neighborhood when I was little – but it worked. Two hospitals with damn near the same name – coulda happened to anyone. ---

> [@Buttercup\_Smith](#): > > Now in bed watching trains. Thanks **Metal mouse**. Just what I needed another time suck but I am hooked. You’re welcome. You can find me on the LaPlata site when the Amtrak comes through (supposed to be 9:31am and 7:37pm, but those times…vary). Enjoy the 3-day weekend. Not much soccer practiced, had two 10U and one 12U show up so cancelled it. Guess when people take a break they really take it seriously. See what the girls practice is like tomorrow. **FCM** , kids tend to try things…some of them may become life-long habits (hopefully not that one). And you married FCD for better or worse or dithering… All y’all take care. ---

I’m fairly self-sufficient, but I do have lawn guys who come by every other week to keep the yard tidy and me un-fuzzled by benadryl. (Like Eva Gabor in _Green Acres_, I’m allergic to the green stuff) I did have to hire a plumber about two months ago when my sewer main clogged as my drain snake was nowhere near long enough. There are limits though - I don’t do my own surgery. Years ago, I had a shirt that said “No user serviceable parts inside.” :eek: I’m recovering from surgery right now, oddly enough. Feeling like I got shanked in the ribs and looking like someone tried to give me a “Cuban Necktie.” Owww… ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 60 Amurrkin out (I almost put on long pants to go outside!) and clear with a predicted high of 85 and N.O.S. for the day. Finally actin’ Fallish like here. I shall take care of some [del]church janitor[/del] Junior Warden chores today and take care of some errands whilst out and about. One of those errands is to go to :eek:Wally Jr.:eek: to purchase yogurt as I happen to like the store brand and we are out of it as of when I eat the last of it this mornin’. Sup shall be majik intartoobz pizza along with sallit just to make it healthy. **{{{gotti}}}** a gentle hug. Hope you’re feelin’ better post surgery soonest. **Ruble** I did indeed figure it out. Sorry about that. I blame it on lack of caffeine when I posted. Anywho, she had gall bladder surgery Moanday and is now home to recoup. **MOOOOOOM** I often mix green beans and smashed N.O.T. together as in some of both on the fork as I’m eatin’. However, I may use Roxstar’s method next time. 😃 Now I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy demands sustenance. Then, bother, alas, alack, I must purtify and don appropriate bein’ about the public attire. I have to decide between jeans or shorts. One of life’s more difficult choices. Happy Firday Y’all! ---

In the office half an hour earlier than usual. We’ll see how much I can accomplish before noon. I’m pretty sure I’ll leave then at the latest. Once home, I need to run everything I’ve knitted thru a rinse in the washer to remove critter hair, then fluff it all in the dryer. I’ll bag it and stick it in the trunk for tomorrow. Meanwhile, labors beckon. Happy Firday!!! ---
