Greetings all, I hope the day is treating everyone better than it has.
We played a joke on friends this morning, went to the store and turned on all the lights and the radio, put the money in the cash drawer, put out the signs, and then hid outside. They were freaking out when they came in, since it was supposed to be our day off and they couldn't figure out why nothing was shut down.
Needless to say, we got some stink eye but they were good sports about it. Besides, we got them more receipt paper. >:)

Up early today to get singles from the bank since we counted out with only ONE SINGLE in the entire store last night. We decided to play a practical joke on my partner and opened the store before they arrived in the morning, then hid. Confused and scared the heck out of her and her daughter, then left them to the mercy of Red Hat Day on Main Street - oh, the horror!
Got breakfast and hit the grocery store. Now doing dishes and laundry and in a fair way to making this a nice domestic day. Woot!

I'm almost finished with the book and praying the players will be there when I finish.
Seriously, we are. Just ask Pat. Or Mothman. Or anyone else.

Whew. Regarding our previous conversation about drugs and allergies.
I've yet to find a drug that can overcome the sheer volume of pollen and crap that gets shoved into your sinuses when riding a Harley. :-/
The fist 15-20 minutes after getting home always sucks this time of year.
You just need a semi-sheer mask to keep out the pollen and mold particulates.

I could so see that. If you wear one it needs to be your profile picture on FB!!!
Ask Rachel to borrow hers, say it was my idea. Just do not tell Matt!!!

Really? I always heard good things about Ithaca.
A batch of college friends did their grad work at Cornell and some stayed there for a bit to work. One still lives there, but the rest moved on. They all agree that it's beautiful, but very isolated, especially for a bunch of Chicago kids.
No city and no nightlife make them something something.

I think those are a great idea. One for the original wearer and one for a friend.

Argh! Even if I got over my social phobia enough to actually wear one, that means I'll have one more piece of clothing to match & coordinate with the rest of my clothing.

Heh. You don't ride do you? A wise man once said, "Only a biker knows why the dog sticks his head out the car window".
I actually do have different face coverings including a full helmet for when it gets cold. And by cold, I mean freaking cold. As in people think I'm nuts for still riding in the weather cold. But I'll gladly suffer for a few minutes after a good ride to fully enjoy the ride. :-D

No, we all (or most of us) will accessorize and coordinate, but that in no way means that we are "in to it".

Yeah, but accessories can really be a pain in the butt to get "just so." Edit: Ninja'd by Solnes.
Heh. You don't ride do you? A wise man once said, "Only a biker knows why the dog sticks his head out the car window"....
I did recommend something sheer-ish. :)
I haven't been on a bicycle in almost a decade (got stolen), and never felt comfortable on a two-wheeler with a motor.

Good Morning, FAWTL. A friend of mine had an extra ticket for club level at the hockey game last night, so fun was had by all (even though the team didn't play very well). Unfortunately there was a young women there who (after 4 or 5 glasses of wine) start screaming for the Wild to do something, however she was always just a bit behind. We would get the puck and she would yell "Defense", etc. But other then that quite a bit of fun.
And Ashe your water is coming this way, sections of St Paul are closed to prepare for possible flooding.
So wait. You got annoyed at the lady for asking the Minnesota Wild to actually PLAY? Really? I thought the Wild just showed up and played "hit the puck"?
:P
Red Wings FTW!!!!!!!!!

I'm seeing a pattern here. Not good.

Hopefully, the freelance illustration work will pick up.
Does KQ pay a lot for articles? Are there other things you've worked on that I haven't seen?

Went to Burger King for dinner and got to watch the last five minutes of some college football game between two schools called, um, "Texas" and "Oklahoma," I think. Or maybe it was foosball. Us wimmin don't get this.
Anyway, condolences to our Texans. I thought sure they'd go with the onside kick with 1:39 left, then the two-point conversion after the score. Instead, it turned into a circus. Exciting, but I'm glad I'm not a Texas fan.

This stuff I really don't get. How are colleges charging this kinda coin? My wife went to a Cordon Bleu program for one year, and came out of it with $60,000+ in debt. That's $512 a freakin month for 10 years. She got one of the best local jobs at one of the top restaurants and was the envy of her peers. The pay rate? $10/hr. And found out you'd have to work at that level, busting your ass for about ten years before ever getting a chance for a higher-level job.
I wonder if there's going to be an 'education bubble' like there was a mortgage bubble ...

I joke with my wife about those kinda comments. Like sometimes I go "B TCH, go gets me a glass of water!!!". stuff like that. I did that in front of one of her more militant feminist friends once. Whoops.

I also posted a question about this on the DC messageboards, just to see if anyone else is having the problem. The pisser about this is that Best Buy doesn't let you get a refund. You can just get an exchange.
