[nitpick]wouldn’t that be NTTIAWWT? (or leave out the “I” if you’re assuming the contraction “there’s”) “anything” is one word [/nitpick]
[QUOTE=MindfieldAnd speaking of used, you know LiLi, if it’s any encouragement to QD, there’s a huge market in Japan for used knickers. Y’know, I’m just sayin’…
[/QUOTE]
Those wacky Japanese will even pay extra for skidmarks…
say it with meeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! 
It is never too early to educate a child in the proper way.
Hah! The boss just called me to say there is a two hour delay in reporting to work. I told him that ummmm, nope, I’m not coming in. I also informed him that Hwy 512 was closed. He was very surprised to hear that. I told him that I’d been up since 4:00 watching the news hoping for improvement on the roads, but told him they’re just getting worse.
He didn’t seem angry and understood, thank goodness. I just bought that rig in May and do not want it getting smashed up.
They just had a guy on the news that had been on the road since 5:45 last night and still wasn’t home. It’s that bad here.
I think Lil Kelly is adorable, bird and all. I have a picture of my daughter at about the same age doing the same thing. It just means the lil sweetie is going to be “spicy”. She isn’t going to take any guff from anybody. That’s a good thing!
I understand their knicker vending machines work a lot like our coffee machines:
- Insert 500¥
- Select color (Red, pink, yellow, green, blue, fuchsia, sky, wasabi)
- Select size (S, M, L, XL, XXL, Western Girl)
- Select option (Brown stripe, red stripe, both)
- Confirm Selection
- Remove garment from dispenser
- Wear on head.
- Arigatou.
Myndy, you are one sick puppy-san
Morning, all. Apparently the reason I started feeling kinda crappy midafternoon yesterday wasn’t just because of dog puke or whatever; it was because I was coming down with some kind of bug. I crawled in bed at 8:30 and lay there like a lump with the TV running for a while, then slept badly all night; I woke up early this morning cold and sweating, which probably means I had a bit of a fever that was breaking. Anyway, I think I feel better now. But I’m going to have a very quiet day just to be sure.
I refuse to join the discussion of Japanese skivvy vending machines. Except to join the chorus of Ewwwwwwww!
We are still waiting, of course, all agog for the tale of skivvies-shopping with QD. Hint hint!
Taters, just how long is this nasty weather supposed to be going on? Because we’re flying into Portland on the 8th and were planning to drive to Seattle a couple days later. I’m not anxious to be skidding all over Seattle; just the thought of trying to get up the plateau where my mom and sister live gives me the willies. (Not a willy, put those dirty minds away!) Please tell me it’s supposed to warm up between now and then!
HAH! I just live showin’ idiots up. Especially idiot customers. We had a customer who claimed he never received an order of mopheads and handles. He was rantin’ and ravin’ and in general raisin’ hell. I calmly pulled up my email and when he finished I was all, “Sir, according to our records your order was received on xxx date at xxx time by xxxx xxxx according to the tracking from FedEx.” He put me on hold and came back a few minutes later mutterin’ about how it had been received. “I’m so glad you were able to find your order sir”, says I. “Oh and by the way, while I have you on the phone, I need to remind you that you are beyond thirty days late with your payment. We’ll be sending you a reminder invoice for the amount plus the agreed upon late fee. Have a nice day now!”
Idiot! It ain’t even the first time this has happened either. Idiot! Makes me wish I had Kelly with me to flip him a bird. 
That, right there … that’s my job. “Sir, I have a copy of the email we sent you right here. I can resend it if you like, but you’ll see by the date that we did inform you that your item was backordered.” This is usually right around the same time my internal monologue is saying things like “Check your spam folder, jackass.” I think my favorite thing is when I get to cut somebody off from their ranting and raving and say “Ah, yes, I’ve pulled up your order, and it turns out your credit card was declined, which is why you haven’t received it yet.” It’s petty and not at all nice, and yet it’s the best part of my day.
I’m up, it’s warm and sunny, and everybody has been walked and watered. Another exciting day of work today, then an overnight shift tomorrow night…
rosie, you are correct. I was just a little sleep deprived.
Mindy, Maggie the Wonderbeagle does the whimper thing. A pat on the head puts her in snooze mode for about 5 minutes.
bobbio, last time they flushed the mains, Maggie went insane and was barking at the hydrants. Hmmm.,“flushed the mains” would be a good euphemism.
swampy, you could always fax him that picture of Kelly.
Whine! I’m throwing out all the Thanksgiving leftovers. I had a little bit yesterday, and I’ve got the not-so-hot trots again! Nobody else does though. Weird.
So, not much going on today. I’m sticking close to home.
Happy Tuesday, all. gotti, erm, what model and year jeep did you have that may or may not have had suspension problems??? ::fingernail chewing smiley::
swampy, KEE-UTE cub ya got there. Lil pinchy cheekums. 
In half an hour I leave for a meeting with the hospice social worker. I sure hope she’s got some good ideas for us. Vibes appreciated.

rosie - Aww, shucks. You say the nicest things!
dogbutler - Does your wee beastie have a habit of doing this approximately half an hour to an hour before the alarm is set to go off? Because as Og is my witness my cats know exactly when I least want to be woken up, and that’s not too long before I’m supposed to get up anyway.
My headache’s still gone. I let my hot cereal overflow in the microwave, though.
Our building lobby is decorated for Christmas in blue and silver, with penguins on ice. I think they skipped the potpourri this year, which is fine with me, it can get a little overwhelming. I haven’t decided whether I’m putting up a tree this year or not.
I think I’m going clothes shopping at lunch time. All of my winter clothes were 2 sizes too small, so I gave them away and now I need to replace them.
I haven’t checked the very extended forecast, but it looks like this crap should be gone by Friday. It’s going to remain very cold (for these parts anyway) through Thursday and then will warm up to high thirties, low forties. We’re supposed to see rain this weekend.
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. I hope you’re feeling better soon.
Puggy did I miss where you said hospice was gettin’ involved? Is it for both or just grampy? Anyways prayers and good thoughts headed down right now. Hospice workers as a general rule are great. They seem to be very kind, gentle and compassionate people. I’ve never had to make use of hospice but people who have talk about how hospice helped them with dealing with the realization of death and prepared them for the inevitable. Here’s hoping your experience is just as good. {{{Puggy}}}
Lots of positive thoughts coming your way, Puggy, I’ll keep Ophie pedalling for you.
Well, it’s official, I am diseased. No wonder I’ve been feeling rough for the last few days…the nice lady doc says I’ve got a throat infection so that’s a week of anti-biotics coming my way. Lucky me.
I’m off to collect the dreaded pills then I really ought to do something with the pics I took last night. I might be back later with photos of Duracell!
Yes she does, even on my days off. Although 35 pounds is pushing it for “wee”.
My left knee’s been dismantled, renovated and re-assembled twice. Not much to joke about there.
I’m just waiting for our next-door neighbor to see our truck…we’ll know when he’s seen it once we start hearing “But honey, THEY got a new truck!” We were talking with him a few days ago about what would be good, and he admitted that he’s regretted his smallish truck (standard cab with a V6 engine) ever since he bought it. On the subject of engines, just mentioning the word “Hemi” turned him into Tim The Tool Man - “Aruh! Ahr ahr ya! Hemi! Aruh!” So, apologies to his wife…
