Just droppin' in to say hi. I got elected for the Directors meeting substitute so Yay Me!

'Neko- The kids are great. PB had some dental surgery to help correct the problems with his fronts. They pulled four in the front and capped a few in the back. Kinda sucks seein' as he gets soup for a few weeks. On the plus side I get to spoil him with low fat ice cream for the same amount of time.

Gotta get moving. Lots ta do today.

NV-aww that always sucks, but in the long run he'll be happy it's all fixed. PLus ice cream is a great thing after dental surgery.

Tristan- yes sadly spiders are drawn to me ( with the intent of killing me, obviously)

You know, sputum-accidental, sputum-intentional, phlegm-hocked, mucus-wet,,sprayed, mucus-dried, picked, unwashed hands fresh from the bathroom, unmentionable scratching-exterior, unmentionable scratching-interior, ash dropping, smoking cook/chef, after the fact food recovery i.e. picking off fuzz, lint, assorted ick from floor droppage...need more?

Super-dedicated staff that won't miss a day's work just because of cold, flu or diphtheria, exactly how old is the deep frier grease? it's not spoiled just scrape off the moldy part...are we there yet.

Pack sammies, MsG, pack sammies...

Didn't see that in the listing of cussing in foreign languages site I posted earlier, but i'ma have the opinion that Wisconsinese is just like UpperPeninsular, which sounds a lot like some Minnesotan, eh? (cf. Fargo), all of which stem from the Finns what settled the Northern parts mentioned. So if'n you look up Finnish there, at least you'll be able to incite road rage at will...!

Morning!

I'm a very rare sickie as well, although I have no problem playing sick so that I can avoid work. And the "cramps from the demons" (as a rather bizarre friend used to call them) can knock me out until the handful of drugs I've taken kick in. Is that TMI?

I don't think I've every had a near death experience with a non-dangerous object. I'll have to think on that one.

But when I was a wee one, I almost killed myself with a sprinkler. It was one of those that you stake into the yard...and I was a wee lass (under the age of 1 or so). Those were bygone times when parents could actually leave the kids playing on the front lawn and come back and still have kids...rarely did they disappear at the hands of the "but-he-always-seems-like-such-a-nice-guy" neighbor. So mom leaves little me outside for just a minute and I manage to get a hold of the staked sprinkler and start sucking on the thing...stake part first. Maybe the weight of the sprinkler cause my little self to tip off balance, but in any case, I fell, face forward and the stake when through the rough of my mouth. No permanent damage was done, but let's just say I'm glad I can't remember anything from before I was five or so.

Hmmm... if you get thirsty and need a "water fountain," be sure to ask for the "bubbler" instead, cuz that's what they're really called. And if you need at ATM to get cash? Ask for a Time Machine. Really. Or is it Tyme? Hm, no, I think it's Time. Anyway, yeah. It's a play on the "time is money" cliche, so the ATMs are labeled TIME.

Of course, alla that could just be more Muh-waukee specific.

So, where ya gunna beeeeee, RIMG?

Oh, no no no. While accents become horrifically more Min-uh-soootn as you approach the MN / WI border, Wisconsin-proper is not, I believe, ancestral Finn territory, nor does it sound like Minnesota. Besidse, MN is far more Norwegian / Swedish. WI is far more German / Polish / Italian. MI... well, I can't account for them. (Also? FARGO is in NORTH DAKOTA.)

Well, I've just had a few hours of fun poking around serenitymovie.org. It's like myspace for browncoats only. I recognized a lot of names from fff.net -

I don't think I've had a near death experience with an inanimate object ( rake, bed, toilet...) like you guys have had.

When I was 16 I poisoned myself. I saw a bag of sugar lying next to a flat of strawberries in the kitchen. I dipped a berry in the sugar and man, was it bitter - so the next bite I REALLY dipped the strawberry in - and it was worse.
My mom had been using oxalic acid (granulated, looks like sugar) on a wet toothbrush to clean rust from a window. That was what was in the bag.

How embarrassing is it at 16 to have your mom call the poison control center!
