Its April, you fools! if there was anything you wanted to do in march, YOU’RE SCREWED!!!
Just in case you’re wondering, free checks are cool!! My credit union will provide free checks for members over 50. I’m over 50. Earlier this week, I ordered my free checks. They came in the mail today. It is decidedly cool getting free stuff.
My sweetie is well into FL now. He stopped at the place where he worked for many years and had a chat with some former coworkers. He told the guys about his new job at NASA. He was back on the road and about half an hour gone when one guy called and accused him of playing an April Fools gag. This is especially funny when you know the accuser, but I can’t possibly explain why. Anyway, when this guy gets an email from nasa.gov, maybe he’ll believe. I’m still giggling about it, which shows how boring my evening is.
I’m home alone with the critters! Too bad no one has my phone number… sigh
I read the MMP every week and today I renewed my charter memberships status purely on the basis that at $0.143846 per MMP for the year was a gen-u-wine bargain.
I love you all.
Uh-oh! Not only do I have your number, but I know where you live… :eek: 
Awwwwww, VunderBob brightened my evening! What a sweetie!
Well, I’m glad you lik it, ems, but you do realise that if you’re not participating then you will never be sent the complimentary MMP twenty-pound dark chocolate bar, and extra free cool hat. And chandelier.
I’m still waiting for mine. You have to post lots to get it.
Driving Husband is going to take me over to my parents’ place in the next hour or so. This plus the Pope (being in the process of) dying has really darkened my weekend. Mr. Lissar has forbidden me to call him at work for the rest of the day, because every time I call it’s because something bad is happening. I should phone him and tell him that the cats have been stolen by aliens.
Thanks for all the good wishes. I love you guys. Even without chocolate.
Lissla I’m so sorry about the pup. Please give him some skritches from me too. You could call up Mr. Lissar and say you now know a genuine for real internet zombie. That’d be cheerful!
I’m messin’ on the puter for a bit cause ACBG is in the bath tub. What? Why don’t I join him? Sillies we are two burly men. The bathtub ain’t big enough. Besides I’m gettin’ him all cleaned up for later. 
And yet again, swampy teeters dangerously close to TMI territory…

Worth saying twice… tho I didn’t mean to. I suspect the cat.
Who, moi? All I meant was, I like my fetcher of beer and snacks to be clean and sanitary. What did you think I was sayin’?
Yes, dear, whatever you say.
I’m so sorry about the pup. Our pets always are family, aren’t they? I don’t care what anyone says, there is a special place in heaven for our pets.
Swampy, I have a gargantuan bathtub…there’s definitely room for more than one…and that’s all I’m sayin’ about it.
The weather is most definitely nasty, rain, hail, wind, you name it, we got it. I hope the mountain passes don’t get too screwed up. My daughter is supposed to return tonight from Central Washington University where she was participating in a band competition.
We are going to Olive Garden for dinner tonight. Our friends want to go there and we chose the restaurant last time.
Have a good weekend all, and Rue, ease back the throttle on the brains. You wouldn’t want to end up with Mad Cow Disease, or something like that, would you?
Driving Husband and I have visited Gabe (the dog). He’s making horrible coughing noises, but my parents are with him around the clock, and he seems pretty content with the attention. Mr. Lissar is going to try to swing by tomorrow before work, which will be difficult. He’ll get home at about 2 a.m. and leave for his twelve-hour at ten or so.
Thanks again, everyone. It’s one of those terrible, unpredictable illnesses.
Aerin is licking a plastic bag to show sympathy. I think. Why does she lick plastic bags? Are there normal cats? Do they exist?
Silly question - “normal” for a cat is not the same as “normal” for us. Plus it’s impossible for us to understand what their “normal” is. But they’re just cats, so it’s not worth fretting about. Inscrutable, you know…
Really sorry about the poor doggy. I know you said getting a new doggy is not an option, but there are lots of older dogs out there looking for homes. If your folks really want a dog around the house, they should consider that when they’re ready.
On a non-animal related note, today is the first day of my pottery class. I am very excited. I’m assuming I should wear grubbies - or do they provide aprons? I’ll go semi-grubby. I’ve got a washer - I can deal.
Happy Saturday!
FCM you know how sometimes a student will bring an apple to the teacher for suck up purposes? Well, you could bring your pottery teacher a chandelier. That’s way cooler than an apple. What teacher wouldn’t love you forever for that? You could say, “Look teach! I brung ya a chandelier!” Never hurts to work on a way for a few extra credit points is all I’m sayin’.
Interesting idea, swampy, but I’m thinking, um, no. Especially since the beast is quite heavy, and I don’t intend to haul it up from the basement and drive 90 minutes with it clinking and tinkling in the van.
Besides, I’m me - enough of an honor for any teacher!
This is true.
