Rest of Monday report, rest see man:

Had fine day selling pre-owned toilet seats, $i man.

Gassed T-B.-mobile for just over a buck-&-a-half/gallon, whee man.

At casa, Mini-B. announced that he had the hiccups, wee man.

He insisted on demonstrating, hic man.

We assured him that those were very big hiccups, assurance wee man.

He expressed concern that some were bigger than others, perfectionist wee man.

Mini-B. helped with the garbage, me and wee man.

First, Mini-B. put on one of Daddy's sweatbands to protect against sweat, wee man.

Next, Mini-B. wanted to wear plastic gloves but got his hands swallowed up in one, wee man.

Mini-B. concluded that this part of the operation should be abandoned, si wee man.

Mini-B. held open the bag for his big sister's pupu, clean litterbox man.

We agreed that it was "really smelly pupu," me and wee man.

Mini-B. wanted to carry pupu-bag downstairs because he was "big & strong," si wee man.

Mini-B. carried tied pupu-bag downstairs and gleefully showed Mommy, she man.

Mini-B. placed pupu-bag into larger bag that Daddy then tied up, efficiency man.

Mini-B. led the way outside with his mini-flashlight, vanguard man.

Mini-B. supervised deposition of large bag into can, management material man.

Mini-B. insisted on trying to drag Many-ton can to curb, big strong wee man.

We helped him, me man.

Afterwards, MIni-B. mopped brow and said, "That was hard work! I'm tired!"

Mini-B. led way back inside (with flashlight) to mooch ice cream from Mommy, smart wee man.

We went back out to rake leaves, aching back man.

However, said leaves shall not pollute this 'hood again, to the dump man.

Attempted nap; failed miserably, no zzz sigh man.

Found another box of receipts to comb through before tax time, egad man.

Mrs. T-B. cleaned dining room but left drips of ice cream all over kitchen floor, ick man.

Ice cream was all eaten and was chocolate, timing-is-everything man.

We nicely placed drippy container atop leaves in outdoor trash, chocolate leaves man.

Cat prep zzz man.

Mornin', Commie-babe with accumulated +1 inventory!

And happy day-after-birthday to Nola-Bonette, she ma'am!

Morning!

[Asia 2,498]

I just started playing a multiplayer war game over the holidays. How totally addicting and time consuming those things are. Decided it was too much of a time sucker yesterday and put it aside for good.

Seems funny and addicting

[Asia 2,498]

So, I am a little disturbed that google changed its little image because it is my birthday. The internet knows way too much about us.

Happy belayed birthday, Nola!

[Caryh 5,206]

Maybe it's with a rubio (male blonde) instead, my mistake man.

I have proof she cavorts with a rubio then.

[Caryh 5,206]

some of us enjoy playing video games even with a spouse right next to us.

just sayin'

If my wife was a gamer, then maybe. But I hadn't picked up my book since I started playing that game is one thing I noticed. When I gave it up, I felt actual relief because I was putting so many hours a day into. It was becoming like a second job, with over time.

Aye I agree with both statements. I haven't found a good book to read in a minute (at least one I want to pay full price for) and I have the cat to play with too.

[TBoneTX 45,259]

Everyone is scarce, so I shall soliloquize, o sole mio man.

Half-Tuesday report, half-see man:

Awoke in immediate need of a nap, more zzz man.

Mini-B. awakens sleepily with bags under his eyes, chip of old block man.

Mini-B. states, "Daddy, I sleep only by myself. Do you sleep by yourself?"

We just avoided saying something about rubias, Mrs. T-B. right there man.

Left casa without jacket, warm enough at Many degrees F. man.

(Texas again Many, Nueva York again zero or less, whee man.)

However, weather supposed to start sucking again as of tomorrow eve, sigh man.

Must return to overwhelming demand for pre-owned toilet seats, $i man.

Must, as ever, personally test each for quality and comfort before packaging, me man.

Order yours today, whee man!

[TBoneTX 45,259]

(Almost forgot my manners, eee man.)

Evenin', Commie-babe with +1 inventory!

I've gone back to my play against the computer games. Doesn't matter how long it takes before I get back to it that way. I can always find a book to read it seem like. I get the electronic version, so its a lot cheaper now too.

[NikLR 13,227]

Last electronic book I wanted to read was still $20 for the book. No thanks! At that point I'd rather have the hardcopy which was less.

/lazy

I want to read the Century trilogy. I read the first, as an ebook, and would like to continue on.

It's by Ken Follett btw.

OO just looked.. only $10!!! SOLD!!!

[NikLR 13,227]

Still $20 for Edge of Eternity though.

But I'll go back and re-read fall of giants first anyhow. Give the other book time to drop down in price.

Occasionally I enjoy having the hard cover versions. Like the "earth's children" series by Jean M auel. I have book 1, 2, 5, 6 and would love the 3 and 4. In hard cover.

[kitthekat 1,317]

niki, do you have any recommendations on what's a good desktop for an occasional game player? jonas mostly uses his laptop but my macbook is old and does not support games all that well. i wanna run the sims (and all the expansions) and maybe age of empires for old times sake...
