I am so tired. My friends cat died in my arms at the vet’s office today. plus also, it’s almost 4 the the morning. blurf. 
Sounds like you had an excellent b-day, swampy!
Glad to hear your retirement started off nicely, FCM!
This morning I got up at 4:15 AM. I’m so well-trained that I get up at work time even on my days off. I hate it. The only days I can sleep in, too…
Well, off to Saturday chores (groceries & gas) before the crowds show up and then Mickey D’s drive-thru for my weekend breakfast treat.
Have a great weekend all,
Bri2k
Up caffeinated, off to irk. Gordie had a running dream last night.
{{{{Janis}}}
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’ YAWN 'Tis 74 degrees Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 98 and a heat index of 110. Yikes! Guess it’ll feel good in the pool today! There’s also the threat of pm tstorms which is the norm. On any given day the forecast says thirty percent.
Stuffed indeed shindig time is today. All I have to worry about is the fact that other people will be usin’ my kitchen. :eek: I’d go all :eek: over somebody else touchin’ my grill ‘cept it’ll be OYKW and he knows how so I’m good with that. I’m sure I’ll survive. Anywho, there’s beer all iced down in coolers cause we went by the church house after dindin yestiddy to get ice. What? That commercial ice maker makes ice like y’all would not believe! I bet if’n I went over there this mornin’ it’d look like I didn’t even fill three coolers full of ice out of it last night. Seriously.
{{{Pearl}}} sorry about your friend’s cat.
MOOOOOOM a gorilla gram is always an appropriate gift. I’m sure even Miss Manners would agree. 
Brick I hear ya. I could be asleep right now but I’ve been up since about 5:30 a.m. Well, I did sleep really good after bday “appreciation”. 
Ok, off to seek more caffiene and sustenance for rumbly tummy.
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
Slightly before 5, Scruffy started barking. After I took her out, I did go back to bed, but I couldn’t get back to sleep, so I watched some 30 Rock on Netflix till the barking started again. So I’m up.
{{{janis}}} I had to take cats to the vet 2 different times for their last time - I was a wuss - I couldn’t stay in the room with them.
I’m guessing when **FCD **gets up, we’ll go get some breakfast before attacking the basement. He wants to frame the last little section of wall and a doorway. Not too big a job, actually, till we get the sheetrock.
Other than that, who knows? My brain still isn’t engaged… Happy Saturday!
JDD and Partner came bearin’ bizkits. Nice of ‘em ain’t it! I promised to be all Zen with ‘em bein’ in my kitchen. I am one with others usin’ my kitchen appliances. :eek: Plus the sausage, aig and cheese croissant made my tummy happy.
ETA: Just for Spaz. They are even allowed to use The Holy Oven.
We just finished eating a huge breakfast. Steak omelettes, grits, toast, and sliced oranges. Mmm. (Leftover steak from the other night.)
Yesterday I went shopping at IKEA and found some great artwork for the kitchen. Plus a couple of pillows and picture frames and stuff. That place is gigantic!
Mr Rebo is going to replace our toilet today. It has never worked properly - it takes two or three flushes to get stuff to go down. Such a pain. He finally got sick of it.
I’m doing laundry. We didn’t get much rain from TS Don, unfortunately, but we did get a little. Better than nothing, I suppose.
Have a great day!
Hugs for janis.
Just scooting through very quickly to say I’m off to Detroit-ish. Henry Ford Museum today, Tigers game tomorrow.
Hugs all.

Thanks guys, My friend was getting food, and I was sitting with him in the waiting room. I’m not sure what happened/when exactly he died, I brought him up to them and told them they needed to see him, but it was too late. the lady looked at him and said “give him to me” he was already gone. I felt really awful about it, I mean, rationally, I knew it wasn’t my fault, but I am not always a rational critter. Plus, Bubby was the sweetest cat, ever. He was like the golden retriever of cats; contented to be skritched on all day, plus you could scoop him up, and he’d just purr. He was just throughly submissive, docile and friendly, and I shall miss him lots. As freaked out as I was, I am glad the last thing he ever felt in the world was somebody who loved him petting him.
I’m sorry, Pearl. It’s so hard when we lose our animals. I’m glad you got to hold him.
Unfortunately I get to spend this beautiful, cloudless 90 degree day sitting poolside with a gaggle of friends, beverages and burnt critter on the grill.
I know, but someone’s got to do it.
Well, CatMan, while you’re being a poolside slug, I’ve been cutting 2X4s and helping build 2 walls. We’re about to go for a late late lunch/early supper followed by a visit to Lowe’s for some sheetrock and other stuff to finish the walls. Good times.
I used the Home Despot card this morning to get some white paint for the basement. We’ve got about half a bucket of primer (over 2 gallons, I think) so I don’t need to buy that. Guess what I’ll be doing this week. rah
Still too freekin’ hot here. I no longer enjoy summer. blech
Successfully arrived in Michigan. Posting from iPod is a pain. We’re gonna see HP7 in IMAX tonight.
Hugs.

Alrighty, that’s it for today. We did lunch/dinner at Olive Garden (meh) then picked up a few things at Lowe’s. I just finished slopping some primer on a small section of block wall and one of the yellow walls, just to use up what I’d poured into the pan. Tomorrow, I’ll paint the block portion so **FCD **can install his electric box and air line.
For now, I’m going to hop into the shower and get cleaned up, then assume the knit position. Maybe some ice cream later. And probably bed early since I was up around 5 again. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to sleep in… alas…
Worked, came home, now it’s storming. Gordie and Teddie are starting to play. Gordie has a new rule for play: do not crash into the old dog.
who wants to go to the store for me in the morning?
Ogbligatroy durknen psot. 
CatDude I held down the southeast end of things in that regard ‘ceptin’ it was 100 degrees with a heat index of 110. Many beerverages consumed. Burnt critter consumed. Chawklit cake with chawklit pee-can icin’ and ice cream consumed. Bear drnku and happy! Must go for deheathenization tomorrow because YP and wife showed up for a while. Rule to be followed is if party with Priest on Satiddy, best be prayin’ in pew on Sunday.
Ok, bear goin’ beddy bye.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
ETA: Bear survived others usin’ his kitchen. :eek:
if party with Priest on Satiddy, best be prayin’ in pew on Sunday
Swampy, this kinda sounds like a fortune cookie message.
Cats walking on me at 4:14, dog barking at 5:38. I am not amused. But I’m up. With a cat occupying the space between me, my keyboard, and my two arms. He is a pain in the patoot!!!
That’s all I’ve got. I figure this time tomorrow, I’ll be crafting my MMP. I suppose I should come up with a theme, because we all know how critical themes are to this long-running series of threads that some people apparently find annoying, which begs the question, if it annoys, why would one read it? But I digress.
Happy Sunday! Forward into the day!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’ YAWN 'Tis 75 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 98 and a fair chance of rain. I kinda sorta wish it would rain this afternoon. On the other hand, I think I’d like to hang at the pool this afternoon.
MOOOOOOM some people ain’t happy unless they are annoyed is my guess. So, we post to annoy.
And now this…

I go in search of more caffiene and some brekkie for rumbly tummy. Then I must purtify for deheathenization cause, if party with Priest on Sattidy, best be prayin’ in the pew on Sunday.
Happy Sunday Y’all!
