Good day, Moose07. The Cub Scouts are going “trekking” this morning.

[Monkey Face]

I can understand your reluctance to follow it. I found it rather boring, once they began to waffle, and all I can say is, I’m sorry you have to live in a place where you’re surrounded by ignoramuses. (Ignorami?) ;o]

[Monkey Face]

The closet swap is completed! Since the linens were sharing one closet with dry goods, and some staples, they fit into the former “pantry” quite well. And both are hidden. The linen closet is now behind an accordion door and the linens behind a curtain panel, the twin of which is still in the bedroom. Letting in all the light from the setting sun. :o[

The business end of the nebulizer has been cleaned and is drying, the bed is made and with this much energy, I ask me why I’m not shredding papers. LETTERS, is the answer. I need to get at least one done.

"I’ll watch a video to refresh my memory, then take notes as I remove the jack from the bedroom and put it into the living room."

Hole sliding and wire stretching are tedious and thankless tasks.

Is kitteh teetering on the cusp of an existential crisis? I say, what the hay, enjoy the red dot! (Irregardless)

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you for the gorgeomous kitteh with the bottle-brush tail!

[Hammerhead]

kill this effing thread already!!!!!!!!!!

[NicknamedBob]

Nice sign-up date.

This is the pressure-relief valve thread of Free Republic. Sorry about the whistling noise.

[Monkey Face]

Can't be done. It's the Undead Thread, and we've been wandering around the galaxy in one form or another since j_jfate was well and truly paved in December of 2004.

However, you're most welcome to join us. We love fresh meat ideas!

;o]

Ah, yes the joys of Mud.
Everything caked in Mud!
The last time I did that was...let me see...October. Yeap, October last year. :)

[moose07]

Better the Ignorami are here, where they can be contained. Imagine if they escaped!
Thank goodness (or JR) for FR.

Too many have been loosed into the general populace in the last 50 years.

I’m watching one of my favorite B&W movies, “THEM!” It was the highest grossing movie in 1954, and I’m thinking it must have been released overseas, so that’s probably worldwide sales.

They say ants are tasty. Especially flame-thrower roasted...

Er, wait a minute. They didn’t roast them, they shot their antennae off. Or maybe they did both..

Or is this a different ‘Them!’?

(You’ll recognize Them by the formic acid smell.)

Hello.

Have any more items of pith and moment you wish to discuss? We are qualified to opine on any subject you desire.

As always, parental discretion is advised.

Please fasten your seat belt and return your tray table to the upright position. No running in the halls. And don't forget your towel.

Don't venture into dark places without a light, you could be eaten by a Grue. And make sure you check the status of Flood Control Dam #3.

[Monkey Face]

They did both, shot the antennae and toasted ‘em alive. No commercials! I don’t know who that little girl was but she was the best actor in the film!

[Tax-chick]

Pull up a cat, have a beer and some pretzels. How’s the weather up your way?

[Tax-chick]

We had mud. Then we climbed out of the mud and had a minor but genuine mountain. Then we went down the other side and back into the mud.

Lot of rain here recently!

[Tax-chick]

Afternoon. I hope things are nice there. I need to go pick up Frank from his friend’s house. The sun came out for a while.

[NoCmpromiz]

The sun came out for a while.

It's cloudy here and a half hour or so before sunset so no more sun for today.

Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow..

But then we're having one of those 'you're all gonna die' winter storm watches for tomorrow into Monday morning. So I'm not putting any money on it. The sun coming out tomorrow that is.

[NoCmpromiz]

I don't suppose your unit had one of these..
