TGIF.... or maybe TGIPD... Thank Goodness It's Pi Day... although I can't imagine why that really matters in the greater scheme of things. Do you realize how close we came to this day being Friday the Thirteenth? If this had been a Leap Year... a 29th day in February... we'd be dodging ladders & spiders & black cats & 1956 push-button drive Desotos, and other "so called" bad luck stuff. Okay... so it doesn't matter but it gave me something to prattle on about as I greet another doorway to a weekend. Sometimes I just need a reason to prattle! Do you like that word - "prattle"? I didn't even have to Google it to know what it means. My mom used to tell me I "prattled" too much. I think it's odd that there are dozens of Synonyms for "prattle" but there's only one Antonym... "Sense". So if you make any "sense" out of this, you've gotten the point.
BTW.... Today is also International "Ask A Question Day" and "National Potato Chip Day" so I would pose the question: Can you eat just one? But, I do "prattle" on.......
It was a dark and windy day in the swamp... somewhat foreboding really... although nobody could figure out why! "Maybe it's because the wind is blowing," I said. "It's very cloudy and dark, and it's raining.... or at least, showering." D'ya suppose???? Well, despite the weather I'm going to breakfast anyway! The worst that can happen is that I'll get wet but I certainly won't MELT! I may have to start practicing my "RIBBITS" though! "Bud!" "Weis!" "Er!" GAWWWWWD, I'm hungry for eggs benedict! But, my eggs benedict restaurant went out of business. Oh, the pain............ Ummm... Am I a DRAMA QUEEN? 'Just wondering. It was something somebody said......
Check that time stamp on my last. It goes perfectly with Pi day. But, I'm beginning to think maybe I have too much free time on my hands.....
I never did understand Pi, never will. I can't even do 4th grade math.
Also never have had a need for algebra :)
As to the question about the potato chip(s), no we cannot stop at one which is why a year and a half ago we gave up on all the chips, sweets, etc. We are like alcoholics with that stuff...can't have a little bit, have to eat the WHOLE mess.
(I'm a great prattler too) :)
Carol - Left over from last night:
My friends are real snobs when it comes to Oregon craft beers. I don't even pretend to understand them. And, I certainly wouldn't drink something just because they raved over it. These guys are idiots who would pee into a beer bottle & try to convince you it was a new craft beer you had to try. There are only a couple of Oregon breweries whose product I care about. One is Rogue & they've got a pretty good selection.
I've never thought about using a straw in a canned beer to improve the taste. Doesn't that get you drunk faster? I think that was the claim when I was a tadpole. And, I never drink directly from a bottle or a can. It's in a glass... period.
Carol - Calculus is highly over-rated. It gives me a headache.... kinda like a "brain freeze" you get from eating ice cream to fast.
Wow! I just noticed! Two sequential time stamps: 12:34 and 1:23! Maybe I need to go buy a lottery ticket. I would but I'd just end up with one dollar less at the end of the day and somebody else would get my dollar!
I'll save you the trouble just to send me the dollar.
Mariposa - How's the weather doing?
Here in the swamp the rain has really gotten serious. And, true to my expectations, I got wet... but just slightly!
Mr. Ed it has warmed up and the sun is out. The problem is it is warming up fast so we have a good bit of wind blowing through now. Like I hope the roof stays on type of wind.
Freddie had a bad day yesterday. He fell off the back of his truck. Nothing broke, but he stayed home today. I don't understand it, he gets light duty and he stays home. Go figure.
Mariposa - Doesn't that make it a "lost time" injury? He'll probably milk that "back injury" for everything it's worth. So, who's driving the truck? Your bosses have more patience with that bum than I would ever have.
Carol - A math professor explained PI to me as "a constant in a problem filled with variables and change." Everything can change but PI lives on exactly the same. It's just a number.
Mr Ed..Your beer snob friends were really wrong over the Obsidian, it was very bitter, even Joe said that so it wasn't just my taster. They may have confused it with the Porter.
I don't care either about who says something tastes good, I have to taste it myself. No 2 palettes are alike.
As for the straw in the beer, I said I do that so my lips don't touch the can, not that it did anything to the flavor, and it's an old made up story about drinking beer through a straw makes you drunk faster. It doesn't happen.
Mariposa, wow, Freddy's just one bunch of fun isn't he? I never heard of an employee that has gotten away with so much and still had a job at the end of the day. Amazing.
Mr. Ed we are real short on drivers today. Freddie is off recovering or getting drunk or whatever. One drive is off with his wife and new baby, and a third one called off. Some days some things just don't get done.
Carol Freddy staying home is so much better than my watching him sit here all day and whine.
Carol - With them it's very possible they were drunk & got it backwards. Most of the time they drink Widmer something or other.
Rogue has a Raspberry/Chocolate and an Irish Ale. I've had their Fat Tire, Skull Splitter, and Dead Guy brews on several occasions & they didn't kill me.
Hmmmm.. The straw doesn't work? And all this time I've been making my "dates" drink their beer that way.... all the way back to when I was a teenager. So, if they weren't drunk were they just faking it??? Gasp!!!
Holy merde! A post-partum wife AND a new baby? Just shoot me! But, I still want a job application for where you work. I wouldn't even have to leave Oregon to match the job performance history there.
I just noticed that my last post was at 4:56... I'm on a roll!
Come on down and apply. I'd hire you in a minute.
Mr. Ed, you'd better buy that lottery ticket while your time stamps keep going the way they have been. :)
The raspberry/chocolate beer sounds good, do you know the name of that one?
Mariposa, yes, I can understand why you'd want Freddy home instead of under your feet. Too bad that couldn't a be permanent situation.
Mr.Ed, those ladies you had drinking their beer through a straw might just have had tooooo much beer! I am very sure the straw was innocent! :)
Mariposa - I'd only take the job if I could stay in Oregon. There's no way I'd put up with your weather.
Carol - The straw may have been but as I remember it, none of those ladies was very innocent.
