I'm trying to dodge visitors and guests. I'm friggin busy. Last night, dinner time, my friends shows up unexpectedly, "Can you fill these out for me?" . Hands me a stack of forms from the SSA.

I'm like, dude, I'm cooking, eating! So he hangs out for the entire duration of my dinner with my kiddo.

I still didn't fill them out for him.

Now, I have visitors from abroad next week. HK, to be exact....

Today, I'm trying to gather all my for filing taxes. My attempt at doing it was disastrous. I get stuck on the stocks, and "depreciative value" of the real estate....


Yeah, I just read about it online.
Did you read about the air crash in Russia? Awful.

I know about it. From skimming through the headlines.

We will already be in Denmark, so they are closer.

This is why I am freaked out about ferries over open ocean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Estonia

Well, that's rare. I've ridden lots of ferries without issue. I'm 100% sure the crews have been better trained since then too.

Cold. Old man winter came back for a few days. Snow tomorrow into Monday. Possible delays if you're arriving tomorrow.

Snowed here too.

I may try a neti pot to get rid of the build up in my sinuses

Why won't Office 2016 read Office 2003 files? It's the biggest rip off.....

Good thing I have a disk for the 2003 version....

because microsoft.

Hubs has a co-worker like that. He comes over, and just stays until we go to bed. He has zero idea of when it's appropriate to leave. Like the one day I ended up making supper for him because I can't not make food for someone in my house when it's supper time. He should have left an hour or two before then as he'd been here since the morning. He stayed until hubs said, "dude I'm going to bed."


Wow having this little cold has zapped my ability to form appropriate sentences.

Is their a weird macro on it?

reset your settings?

Cleaned it?

Dunk it in some rubbing alcohol and let it dry. The worse that can happen is that you need a new mouse... ;)

My brother used to send his keyboard through the dishwasher. Then let it dry out for a couple days. LOLOL!

Sorry been gone all day.

No the mouse is shot. The Tornado and Jedi have thrown it across the room many many times.

Did she, then, puke in an unladylike fashion, are we to assume D ma'am?

We've been deleting your duplicate posts, D ma'am. Continue this and you're REPORTED!!!

One must first cycle before one can re-cycle, see ma'am

Na I think the kids are just light weights and can't hold their booze :P

I really need a new mouse but I'm too lazy to get one :)

I can't not make food for someone in my house when it's supper time.

Can we come over, Niki-B. ma'am? What's on the menu, huh ma'am?

I have a close friend that does that all the time.

Steveklar attracts them like flies and has too soft a heart to repel them, sigh man.

1. the mouse is shot. The Tornado and Jedi have thrown it across the room many many times.

2. I think the kids are just light weights and can't hold their booze

1. It's in their job descriptions, wee man and ma'am.

2. Recall him home to practice on the moonshine, D ma'am. He's setting a bad example for the younger ones, egad man!
