I told my niece that I would put my keys next to something i didn’t want to forget.

I wanted to remember to take with me.

She made me lunch.

Something I wanted not to forget.

The lunch needed to be in the frige. So...

But it was just a dream,

I think. My dreams have a grammar checker. I can repeat sentances changing words.

I enjoyed sentence diagraming.

It made sentence structure a little more visual for me.

The crickets we have here obey no rules...

I enjoy sentence diagramming, too. However, I usually don’t dream about it.

This from the people who gave us 5,280 feet per mile, 12 inches to the foot, and 3 feet to the yard, and furlongs, fortnights, and rods and fathoms.

The Metric system hadn't been invented yet.
Had to get things done somehow whilst we where all waiting.
L,S,D was another classic.

Morning, TC.

Feeling on the Slow side today.
Loads to do, can’t be bothered.

[Tax-chick]

It’s Monday here, too.

As opposed to the metric system, the benighted child of the French Revolution, which first steps were standardization of dry measure.

One tumbril=5 paniers (basket)=5 tetes or heads. Deemed necessary for standardization of the output and efficacy of Dr. Guillotine's invention to resolve inflated claims by various committees of public safety. Origin of the phrase "head count".

The French decimal system adapted by the revolutionary peasantry paradoxically based on finger counting, assumed the OEM specification of five fingers per hand times two hand. Said peasantry oft times lacked the full complement of hands or fingers due to accidents ( see "here, hold my vin and watch this") as opposed to the aristocracy which in the main retained full possession of both.

For a truly stupifying standardized weights and measures system I refer you to the old Russian system.

Obsolete Russian Weights and Measures

Wow! A whole pile of squee, this morning! I need that for sure, since it’s wash day and I’m one solid ache.

[Monkey Face]

Ungh... Monday

The nephew, Daniel Lasko, made an awesome tackle in the first quarter yesterday, but I never saw him again in the entire game. Maybe I just wasn’t paying attention. Anyway, he done good!

[Monkey Face]

I’m certainly glad those are obsolete weights and measures because I would certainly hate to see a Russian kid try and remember all that. *whew*

It makes my eyes burn.

We’re all fine, thanks for asking. Bill the Son has graduated from college!

That's awesome!! Congrats Bill the Son!

[Covenantor]

zlotniks, funts et al, the verst system ever.

;>)

[Tax-chick]

Thank you. For his next trick, he’s going to get a full-time job and an apartment.

[Tax-chick]

Congrats to your nephew! I’m glad you liked the kittens. I decided we needed extra today.

Shannon just spewed.

[NicknamedBob]

It’s nice to be needed.

[Tax-chick]

I had the boys clean it up.

[ArGee]

Morning, everyone.

Mom’s ashes are safely in the ground and I’m exhausted. Not what most people make a day-trip to Florida for.

I’d warn you that I might be a little incoherent today but I don’t know how you would tell the difference.

L,S,D was another classic.

Even for a non-Beatles fan like myself I wouldn't imagine Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is considered one of their greats.
