I would go to Walmart, as I’m out of tuna and crackers as well as instant breakfast.

But Saturday, I will have a stipend from the state with which to purchase a modicum of food, so I will see how far I can stretch the meager amount...$16.

I FINALLY got the table cleaned off, and a lace tablecloth put on it. I just sent you a pic of it! Next time anything goes on there, it will be Nativities.

W00t!

Congratulations on the table. I’ve thrown away several things today.

Oh man!
That really was straight out of that old text adventure!
“A cold voice says ‘plough’ and all goes dark.”
Lucky you survived that (mis)adventure.

Admittedly, my missus asks around things in a similar fashion.
You’d think she was dealing with the devil, as if asking outright would forfeit her soul to me.

I’m not that terrible, am I?
*he says, wispy smokes of darkness trail off his frame, as if the very shadow is indeed himself personified*

I liked bottomless pits on third story building floors.

I’ve thrown away several things, and put several more in the donation pile.

With all the work that Shawn did, and the little bit I did, the place is looking better. Now, of course, it’s time to put away the box fan for the season, I think.

Of course, cleaning off the table means I had to do “something” with the stuff that was there, so the magazines are in a bag (lack of anything else to put them in) and the other papers are awaiting sorting into medical and financial and will be filed accordingly.

How much fun is all this???

;o]

Beats falling into a dark, bottomless pit.

Time for Kathleen’s nap.

Speaking of dark bottomless pits...I dreamed I was in another depression, and I think that means I need to get back on the 5-HTP.

Depression, I don’t need.

It is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Dark bottomless pits that are in the attic yet miraculously do not touch the floors below.
(Wich is why Infocom came up with “grues” as it was patently insane for there to be bottomless pits on third floors and such.)

“I really wish I’d listened to what my mother told me when I was young.”
“Why, what did she tell you?”
“I don’t know, I didn’t listen.”

[ArGee]

Sometimes people just don’t pay attention, have you noticed?

[NoCmpromiz]

They don’t pay because they are so used to getting it free...

[NoCmpromiz]

You wake up. The room is spinning very gently round your head. Or at least it would be if you could see it. Which you can’t.

It is pitch black.

everything is crunchy, if fried properly...😝

[Monkey Face]

Or wine cellars in penthouses?

[Monkey Face]

What? Are you talking to me?

[NoCmpromiz]

I see infocom-if.org doesn't like hotlinking...

Infocom

Hey Face...

The proper reply would have been...

Huh???
