Have a good night!


Two hours left of my pickup shift. That makes six for the pay period. Another four and I'll be ok


Isn't your shift almost over, Patrick?

I blended some beef vegetable soup and froze it. Tried some just for fun.

Blended food does NOT taste the same as unblended food. The soup is good. The mush is... eeeurgh.

I would suggest going the vitamix path if you can afford it.

I haven't been so wet outside since we were on summer holidays by the lake some 15 years ago...

I returned home completely drenched.

My phone got drowned in my pocket and is now slowly dying...


I think it's already dead and those were mere twitches of a dead corpse.

Did you get to go home, or did you have to go back to work today?

I walked to the local pizza joint for lunch (caught a ponyta and pidgey and zubat and drowsee on the way) and they forgot my order. When everyone else cleared out and I was sitting alone, foodless, I asked. They apologized and hustled pizza out for me - yum - then 10 minutes later brought out a basket of fried dough! o_O Never had it before. I was full of pizza and took it back to the apartment for everyone.

Noms.

I didn't get into the jury box until after 3:00. So, no.

And... You had never had fried dough before?


I think the ibuprom I took earlier on incoming headache is wearing off... Or a new weave of headache was able to overpower its effects...

Nope. Is it a thing?


Way to own the day Monkey!

I survived driving 8hours (Driving time) BACK and going to load in a show at midnight. Then returning the next morning, (with a migraine), ended up staying most of the day to help with tech problems with THEIR equipment (because I'm Too. Darn. Nice.) drove 8 hours TODAY to go back to Huntsville (Kids in space Camp) through torrential storms, while wife typed my narrated texts and relayed my phone calls dealing with things that kept popping up at work. >_<

(WHY/HOW am I driving in another state and STILL taking care of work?!? Because:
A) I am Awesome,
B) I am an idiot,
C) I am Too Darn. Nice.
D) All of the above) ;P

I am SO sleeping in tomorrow. ;)

An oh-so-delicious carnival heart-clogging thing

Tell me you've tried funnel cakes.

yes.


I've had funnel cakes. Kinda icky. The dough wasn't as brown and crispy as funnel cakes, and it had raspberry drizzled on it along with the powdered sugar. I look like I've been to Cocaine Fest 2016.


The raspberry is new to me. The powdered sugar is usual, plus cinnamon in the fairs around here.


But, sadly, no fried dough for me. Or fried anything :/

I hate my metabolism.

Oh it's been a thing well before middle age. Now it's just ridiculous


Yeah. I'm looking forward to six weeks of liquid diet. Average weight loss is 20 pounds... average! And it takes almost a year to be able to eat normally again. It's slooooooow in the meantime, which is supposed to be the best way to eat.

The only really effective weight loss I have had in middle age is six months of extreme stress as my marriage tanked. I can't say I recommend it. I'll take fat and happy any day.

Though I do have to admit that having to log all of my intake really keeps my hand out of the cookie jar. I'm down roughly six pounds since I started tracking it two weeks ago. Which isn't bad.

Slowly the night wears on. Good news is that I'll be hitting the beach this morning


On the night shift again, Patrick? Good luck with it.

I remember that pain. No fun.

Ouch. I found a solution to that though when one of my teeth broke. Advil Migraine pain killers. The stuff works amazing on all but two kinds of pain; back injuries or Crohn's both of which defy any pain killers.

I solve that problem by not having a cookie jar.

In America junk food is everywhere. We're one of the few countries where chronic obesity is a problem of the poverty-stricken. It is customary when someone has a birthday to bring in a cake to work for them. Multiply this out by 50 employees and you can see how that might go. Plus the amateur chefs bringing their experiments into work to let people enjoy them. Heck, the vending machine guy leaves snack packets he can't fit in the machines for us to have. I could literally eat for free most days if I was willing to eat crap.


Sounds like some of my sessions... A pile of potato chips, a pile of cookies, a pile of something else...

There was some progress by having dip sauces and some non-chips to have to dip in them (like slices of cucumber) but chips are staying strong...

with my every-friday-group we managed to NOT it chips anymore but with my roughly-every-eights-saturday-group the amount of Chips, Gummibärchen, cookies etc. is terrible, one players brings apples to battle it but just adding fruits on top of to much sweets does not solve the problem really

Let me know if you don't get a response, I'll give him a call.
I actually lost his email, but I have his phone #. I called him, and spoke briefly. He's been very busy with life issues, and hasn't had a chance to do an awful lot of game-related stuff. I told him about the Treefort, and he said he might pop in if he has a chance.

good that you did that, Patrick

he is at least OK, I figure

Hi aeglos!

Yeah he sounded good. Just was going through a lot of busyness at work.
