Deep 6 FaWtL

'Preciate it, John! He sounds much improved this morning.

(Did I really only get 3 hours of sleep??!)

EDIT: Yes, I sleep in a state of undress. Don't you?

POINT OF INTEREST: And my nephew is appropriately *not* involved in my sleep-time, nor nakedness.

Good to hear. Any idea what caused it, aside from the climate?

Where *is* that down-fave button?

Har har, cap. Har har. :)

--> I just thought I was bringing viewing pleasure to a suitable audience! lol

As for root cause, no, not really. It was determined that flu, strep, and RSV were *not* the culprits -- that I do know.

I was more a "courier" than a direct participant: Xorn stayed at the house with the other youngling while I carried sister-in-law and "The Chunk" to the ER. It seemed XornsWife was noncommittal about my doing anything other, so I just played the waiting-and-dozing game.

And, five hours later, he is in much better condition, if still aggravated at the lack of rest from his trial.

He's on the mend. I'm good with it.

cap --

It was a fine joke, chief. :)

Off to work soon.

Should be incredibly busy.

Just incredibly busy instead of a sheer madhouse like Yesterday?

I have a higher bar then most people.

Cap. It seems your theory about Internet scalpers is correct. A Wal-mart here in the Pittsburgh area was bought out of it's Door-buster items before the store was even open. Police are investigating.

It is so quiet in my house. So wonderfully, wonderfully quiet.

Afternoon, all. What did I miss?

This, that, and other things. :)

It's not as busy as it could be.

This, that, and other things. :)

Oh come on! I'm right here!!

Afternoon, all. What did I miss?

A tankard, that is also a pipe.

Although, while you can drink out of the tankard, you can't smoke the pipe.

And it is still here, but you can't see it.

Also, if, I put lots, of apostrophes, in this sentence, Sissyl, will go into a, grammatical frenzy, and, destroy downtown, Gothenberg (or wherever she lives), with a series, of mighty stamps, kicks, left hooks and, bellows.

Sometimes I think I'm getting baited into a sarcastic response.

"Excuse me, do you know the price for this" the lady asked as she flourished her hand at the sale sign that said exactly how much it cost in bold twelve inch tall letters.

Eye twitches, ever so slightly.

We applaud your restraint.

The thing to do is to stare at her intently for a couple of seconds and then say,

'Yes, I know. But do I really know? Does anybody?'

It is very important to maintain eye contact throughout.

Good one, Limey!

I would have snarked gracelessly, and proudly, at that moment. But, -- I'm a jerk. :D

The important thing in that situation is to minimize your interaction time.

Too right!

Afternoon, all. What did I miss?

Syrus' little dude (a nephew) is sick. Go heal him, dang it! Don't you guys have, like, at will teleportation?

Anyway, praying for Syrus' nephew!

Also, don't know if I've mentioned, but I went to school in Chatanooga for a time. Tennessee Temple University. I hear it's moved out of town, now, though.

(That particular city is the location of my rather infamous complete failure to understand that a prostitute was propositioning me. For an hour.)

That's a lot of propositioning.

In other news, temperatures have reached the double hoodie stage. Brrrrrrr.

I have three hours left.

Like, whoa dude. Deep.

Honestly, most of it was me praying and reading my Bible while waiting for the mission to open. Every once in a while (because literally no one else was there) she would ask if I wanted a girlfriend. No matter how many times I explained I was engaged. I was very confused.

It just ends up being a rock in the parking lot of Wendy's, man.

I have three hours left.

Plenty of propositioning time to fit in!

I dunno, that sounds like work.

Only if they want Hot Wheels.

They ALWAYS want Hot Wheels.

Honestly, all we need to carry to be profitable are Hot Wheels, bikes, adult (collectable) toys, video game consoles, trampolines, board games, and power wheels.

Less then an hour left, time to hide.

LEGO isn't big anymore?

LEGO isn't big anymore?

If that's true, I don't wanna live in the world anymore.

Sooo....black friday....

Everything i want, I really can't justify spending money on right now. Everything i need, i already have, or am saving for.

it was an excellent day of playing Minecraft.

Pokemon and Neverwinter Nights here. I actually got a lot of needed administrative work done.

Also got a walk in and some yardwork done while the parents put up the xmas shinies.

LEGO isn't big anymore?

I knew I was forgetting something! Thank you! Of course you gotta have Lego.

Ahhhh, Legos! Used to spend all my free time building stuff with them; dunno why I never tried to use them as minis . . . .

:)

LEGOs were my life from age 8 to about 12. Then I got a SNES and a GameBoy and it changed to video games for my teenage years.

We still have most of my LEGOs in the garage; my sister's stepson plays with them every time he visits.

Off to bed. Laterz folks.

With an extra supply of Hot Wheels to replace the ones that are broken into by collectors. G****mn Savages.

Why didn't they have all the Lego Star Wars kits when I was 12? I missed out on all the cool toys. Likewise: the ForceFX Lightsabers, the Millennium Falcon and Star Destroyer Drones, the different Make: build kits, and so on.

"I am so sorry, ma'am, but the signs aren't for sale. Perhaps you'd be interested in some crayons so you can make your own?"

B$@%@ can't have my crayons.

So, online shopping, people might be on to something there.

Have you seen the average age of people who buy Star Wars Lego sets, they aren't just for kids anymore. :-)

Sorry, Cap, but I haven't. But I'll take your word for it.

Between 15-60 with 30-50 the average.

Online shopping btw beats the heck out of going places through traffic and angry mobs.
