Morning. Staying home today. Think I have a virus.

[NicknamedBob]

"Staying home today. Think I have a virus."

None for me, thanks. It's against my religion.

[sionnsar]

Yah, well, I’m not surprised, given how things have been lately. A little down time won’t hurt.

[Tax-chick]

You should have some beer, too!

We had a luncheon before Mass, get-together of people from the Hispanic ministry with a variety of English-speaking volunteers. Very cheerful. I didn’t have any food, though.

They had strawberries to dip in melted chocolate. Pat got it all over himself, and then got some on my dress. Fortunately, it’s synthetic, so the chocolate should come right out.

The boys got sunburned on their campout, and I have to wash all their dirty clothes before I deal with the rest of the wash.

[sionnsar]

Sadly, there is none in the house.

[NicknamedBob]

"Sadly, there is none in the house."

That, sir, is what I call a serious drinking problem.

Actually, my rejection of viruses is a part of my response to the Øbama health care industry takeover. I don't want to become a victim of it, so I have decided to remain healthy.

The Obama Express Card......don’t get sick!

[sionnsar]

Not as serious as it sounds -- almost the only time I drink beer is at dinner with my committees. The general rule is: "Try the local brews."

This snapshot is from a committee dinner in Berlin.

[sionnsar]

Yah. I daresay if I went back to a stay-at-home job I’d be healthier too.

[sionnsar]

‘Face, modem acting up again?

[sionnsar]

Heh. The DSAL connection isn’t doing so well either. Trying to stream the Sunday afternoon radio broadcasts at a low bit-rate and even then it’s stuttering.

[NicknamedBob]

"This snapshot is from a committee dinner in Berlin."

As I keep explaining to my family, you can wash a dish once in a while!

Resorting to drinking out of milk churns seems like an act of desperation!

[sionnsar]

I didn’t know they made ceramic milk-churns with drinking handles. It’s a long ways to the bottom with those.

[sionnsar]

Killed the streaming connection. Too jerky, and not unlike what LoM reported trying to conclude some business night before last — all night.

[Tax-chick]

A neighbor told us this evening that her daughter told her that our daughter Elen and another neighbor’s daughter took a beer from the other neighbor’s garage fridge and drank it in the woods. DP and I both laughed. Drinking beer is its own punishment.

[sionnsar]

Drinking beer is its own punishment.

For years I agreed with you. THen I acquired a taste for it.

A couple of decades later, I agree again.

[NicknamedBob]

"DP and I both laughed. Drinking beer is its own punishment."

Yep. Kids, don't try this at home.

Beer dissolves your guts and makes them leak out.

*Fopr my cat, to the tune of “Felix the cat”*

Kearen the fat, the horrible horrible cat.
Whenever she gets in a snit, she bites an’ claws an’ whirls a bit.

Needless to say, I don’t get past the second part without Kearen Cat glaring and me with THAT look that says, “Just burst into flames, servant.”

[Tax-chick]

Well, it’s not nice to call your cat fat, even if she is!

I’ve got a neighbor’s kids over to visit with the snake.
