I’ve used my magical FairyChatPowersTM to grant you a buttload of money, but you have to spend it on another Mumper in this season of love and giving. Who do you choose and what do you give them? You can pick multiple people, too. Share the love!! I’ll share my ideas later.
Happy Gifting Moanday!
PS - I don’t particularly like jewelry, in case anyone wonders. 
First! It’s good to be juvenile! 
I’ll be back in a bit with a proper reply. Well, as proper as I ever get, that is.
OK, so let’s do this. Since I don’t know what everyone needs, and assumin’ a buttload of money is like in the bazillions of dollahs, I would give every Mumper ten million dollahs, to do with as each one pleases. Want a new house? Want to retire to Tahiti? Want to ride choo choo trains all over everywhere? Want to roll around nekkid in a pile of money? Now you can do all that and more! Go wild, not that a Mumper ever needs to be told to go wild.
Howzzat for an answer?
Oh yeah, 'tis 44 Amurrkin out and cloudy(ish) with a predicted high of 54 and cloudy(ish) for the day. We shall spiff da cave and I must needs to go pick up some prescriptions today. Fun stuff. Sup shall be baked chikin boobs, green beans, squishes, smashed N.O.T. with gravy, and rolls. The need for real food is serious today. Plus, there will be leftovers for tomorrow.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. At some point I shall also have to purtify and don appropriate bein’ about the public attire. My life is so hard! Oh, well, onward into the day! Rah.
Happy Moanday Y’all!
-swampbear, who apparently feels the need to make many posts this mornin’.
RoxStar is having her toast and juice, so I can do a little Mumper shopping.
MetalMouse gets an unlimited Amtrak pass, including a private compartment, so he can travel at will.
swampy gets his own personal kitchen-cleaner-upper so he can cook all he wants and be as messy as he wants and someone else has to put the kitchen back in order.
MissHussy gets a live-in chaperone because she obviously need one! 
Boo gets a comfy RV with a driver to take her to visit any Mumper she wants to visit.
More later…
I don’t know enough about youse, so I will give cash. An exciting day at casa de wetone. Having the terlets replaces. They are so stained with rust and calcium and lime buildup that I cannot get them clean. Last Christmas my sister told me I has to have them replaced by this Christmas. She will be here Christmas Day to inspect. I’m putting biiiiiig red bows on the lids just for her.
Afternoon, mumpers. Bit of a surreal day, for starters I left home before 6.30am and am in the campus office today. Also surreal because it was my friend’s funeral and I found out (about half an hour before it started) it was live-streamed from the funeral directors’ chapel. So I have been in my office, watching a funeral. Feels very strange, but also comforting to have “been there”.
What to do with buttloads of cash and many mumpers to spend it on? I think, given the condition of most of us mumpers, I’d want to give us all a top-notch healthcare plan so that nobody has to worry about what might happen in the future, we would all be able to face it knowing we’d get the best possible treatment. That would also work for retirement plans (even for those who have already retired and already planned for it) so that we’d all have the freedom to do what we wanted, travel where we pleased, and hopefully turn up on another mumper’s doorstep at some point.
Blurfy Moanday. I didn’t sleep well last night (nose kept getting so stuffy it felt sealed shut) and now I have a headache.
Gotta work this evening - our 2nd day using the shipping container as a makeshift sales floor - so I’m bringing supplies. A chair, Christmas lights, and a hammer & nails. One of the other guys said he’d bring a small Xmas tree.
Oh, and we’re drawing our Secret Santa at work today, too, so I’ll have TWO exchanges this year!
But I still feel blurfy so I shall indulge later in the fun of MOOooooommm’s hypothetical. I’m just not up for it at the moment.
Have a good Monday, y’all.
I’m so sorry for your loss, scareyfaerie.
If I had buttloads of money, I’d pay for on-call cognitive behavioral therapy for all of us. I remember back when I used to say that as a joke, but in the U.S. at least, most health plans don’t cover it, so I would. I guess that’s more a “me, too,” than anything new. I’d also pay off my sister’s student loans and set my mom up for the rest of her life.
Today is grey and cold, but there’s coffee. Speaking of which, I managed to break a window over the weekend while making coffee. Luckily it was double-paned glass, so not a huge emergency, but still…even though I was pretty disappointed, I can’t stop snickering about it. I was making coffee for the next day and I was really, really tired. The coffee container I was holding slipped out of my hands as I was putting it away in the cabinet over the coffee maker and it whapped the window hard, breaking the glass just so. I never liked that window anyway. I guess now is an excellent excuse to rip down and throw away the hideous doilies the previous owners left. 15 years ago, but hey, who’s counting? We do things slow around here.
Morning all. 35F heading for a high of 43F, so a chilly day in N. Ali-bama. In more gloomy news, we went over 15,000 COVID cases in my county (which has a population of 360,000, so it could get worse). I will say this, people are doing pretty good on the mask/distancing front.
OK, enough gloom. For an Xmas where money is no object, a $100,000 Amazon gift card to everyone, you know your needs better than I. And then a mumper trip (family welcome) to some place exotic (my recommendation would be the Galapagos and Cuzco/Manchu Piccu, but other ideas are welcome).
Doing the weekly agenda, laundry needs to go on sometime around Wednesday or Thursday, but aside from today, not much reason to be out and about. Today is Jersey Mike’s subs and the weekly banana ration from Publix.
All ya’ll have a great week now.
Morning, all! Very overcast here this morning, but it will burn off before long I’m sure. Debating whether or not to go into work today or teach from home. Probably the latter and I’ll go in tomorrow so I can talk to some people mask to mask.
My initial thought as to buttloads of money is to give every Mumper a share with the proviso that they have to spend at least half of the riches on themselves. No passing it all on to kids or charities or any of that shit. At least 50% has to be spent on yourself.
Stay safe, y’all. The light is at the end of the tunnel, but the tunnel is long and filled with trolls and goblins.
Moooom, you are very clearly the Caretaker of all around you. My gift to you is one day a week that’s all about you. Breakfast in bed, a spa day, a comfy sofa and a stack of books - whatever floats your boat. You can look after Roxy and FCD and worry about the in-laws the other six days.
Shoe, you get a lifetime supply of cannabis. The good medical-grade stuff. I’m guessing even with an employee discount, bein’ a pothead can get expensive.
Swampy, you cook a lot, it seems. If you need any new kitchen equipment, it’s on me. Hell, I’ll just remodel and restock the whole cookin’ area of da cave.
The rest of you, I dunno. No idea what anybody needs. How ‘bout nice vacations all around? Your favorite place in the world, for as long as you want before you get homesick.
My first day of unemployment, round 2, is pretty chill so far. I have a couple small errands on the agenda but I think I’ve earned a little laziness for a couple days at least. Just finished up my Cheerios and coffee, and Mrs W and I have ganged up on the cats to administer their monthly flea treatment. After I post this reply it’ll be off the the loo for my morning movement (because you needed to know that), and then the rest of the day is a blank slate. The rest of the month, really. 
Yanno, I think with my buttload of money, I’ll charter a cruise ship and an all-inclusive resort and we’ll all spend some time at sea, then some time resorting till we’re vacationed out. Could take a while.
Can you imagine the lot of us on a fancy ship being waited on hand and foot, visiting exotic locals, or historic, or just nice, not having to worry about work or chores or laundry or any of the mundanity of real life. Plus I’ll use a little more of my FairyChatPowersTM to guarantee that no one will gain weight or get hung-over or get seasick or any of the other unpleasant things that can happen on vacation. Because I’m nice, dammit!

And the would be all of them!. How did you know? 
At that exact moment that was the perfect gift I was wishing for. I’d include invites for coming along with me when any of you wanted to. FCM joining me on Amtrak (deluxe private sleeper cabin) to see nellie and go on to visit @spoons? Done. Chartering a jet for 10 of us to go across the pond to visit scareyfarie and beyond? Done. Thelma we just carry off every time, as is Swampy and his beau. Dogs and cats come along on these quests, as desired. Roxy and Harriet too.
Grand idea! Please take pictures and post.
I have the following to give:
Any takers, please PM.
But what I don’t have to give is any f***s…Tee Hee
Ain’t that the truth (trolls and goblins) 
And that light at the end of the tunnel for me will be vaccine, Inauguration, and my beloved daughter delivered safely of a child in July.
Hey, no fair! Everybody else gets buckets o’ cash, cruises and other fun stuff and I get a chaperone?!?! [stomps feet and pouts]
Wait a minute – do I get to choose the live-in chaperone myself? Hmmm … the interviews could be interesting …
