Yeah....wonder how she got that way. :)
Hair, and Rosie! Her cats are nice ones to visit.
Exactly. :-D
I can't wait to meet Tam and Halvah.
Just heard this on Between the Lions! I laughed all the way through it! Somebody was pretty clever to think this up, imo!
W Trouble
I got W trouble
And I know what's to blame.
It's because there's no "wuh" sound
In W's name.
I am wasted, and woeful,
And wilted and tense.
What's with W's "wuh" sound?
It doesn't make sense!
You know, M makes an "mmm" sound,
And J just goes "juh,"
And S has a "sss" sound,
And D sounds like "duh."
But there's no "wuh" in "double-u"
And, tell me please,
Why a letter called "double-u"
Looks like two Vs.
I got W trouble
I worry and weep.
I am worn out and weary
And I'm losing sleep.
But I won't lose my will,
No, whatever it takes,
I'll remember the "wuh" sound
That W makes!
I'll remember the "wuh" sound
That W makes!
It is clever, but the title sounds like something Howard Dean would say. :-P
Actually it reminds me of the songs about the alphabet they do on Sesame Street!
When I heard this I went ballistic and told him make sure to inform them that I told the lady taking the reservation that he likely wouldn't be there until well after 1:30 or 2 in the morning because his flight was delayed, and she said that she would inform the folks working at that time that it was OK that he came in late. He will go back down to talk to them tonight, and if they don't take the extra charge off, he's going to inform the business travel service about this abuse of their customers. It would be a major crimp in their business because they are only a couple of miles from the *ahem* MAJOR computer components company for whom he works, and that fact is noted on their website. He was too tired to fool with them this morning. He did get a little bit of a nap before he had to go in for meetings this morning.
He's still planning on dropping by tomorrow morning, Hair. He's looking forward to it!
Good grief! of all the long nights and bad customer service!
We'll have coffee... How does he take his coffee, will he like strong espresso like a latte or mocha, or will he like just regular drip coffee and sweet creamer?
You've got to be kidding me.
Bastages.
Good grief! Well, I'm glad he got in more or less ok.
He likes it pretty strong, though maybe not as strong as espresso, and if you have milk that will be fine. He'll have some Splenda with him to sweeten it.
OK - and we might have splenda around too... we used to :~D
Yeah well, he'll have the last laugh if they don't set it right. He's a soft spoken guy, but you DO NOT want to mess with him! ;o)
I expect to be there Monday-Thursday, the first full week in March.
You mean you're not taking him to the Truck Stop for pancakes?
Urgh. Business travel. Like a traveler needs a hassle like that after all the delays. Have him talk to the manager. Have the manager address him as Dr. SirKit.
I would if he wanted pancakes :~D
So far we're planning to have coffee on hand and croissants :~D
What a peculiar sport. Strangely entertaining.
Reminds me of tiddlywinks.
