And we gave pint-sized Asia a big ol' Texas hug, oj tak. :thumbs:

The Asia-rentalmobile by that time was crammed so full that the Commie-babes themselves almost couldn't fit it, oj nie.

Accordingly, there was no room for pre-owned toilet seats, oj sigh.

We ingeniously substituted key rings with little POTSs on them, brilliant we man.

We now understand that the entire population of Wroclawcyzkskzowcszyk is envious and wants one, oj tak.

Just what T-Bone said :)

We didn't have any place for the toilet seats, since prior our arrival in Houston we have visited an outlet, so the tons of shopping bags were filling any free space :P

Mini-Bone officially turned Many years old for the Many'th (2+2th) time on Tues., growing wee man.

He wanted to go to Langosta Roja (Red Lobster), favorite place besides Burger King for wee man.

He inspected and commented at length on the occupants of the lobster tank, Age of Aquarium man.

 

Employee offered to take a lobster out of the tank for him, see man.

Mini-B. agreed, wee man.

Lobster wagged tail and reached out with (bound) claws, menacing or hungry crustacean man.

Mini-B. didn't buy our explanation that wag-tailing lobsters were friendly, no man.

Mini-B. urgently asked employee to put lobster back, too close for wee comfort man.

Mini-B. then resumed detailed observation of safely re-tanked lobsters, wee composure regained man.

 

We ordered blackened tilapia with baby potatoes and green beans, ingest we man.

Mrs. T-B. ordered shrimp tacos, ingest she man.

Mini-B. ordered chicken fingers with broccoli, ingest wee man.

 

At end, waitress brought plate of ice cream/whipped cream for Mini-B., birthday surprise man.

"Happy Birthday" was scrawled in chocolate around plate perimeter, nice touch man.

Waitress, hostess, & other chica sang Happy Birthday to Mini-B., delighted wee man.

A nice time was had by all, we she wee man.

 

Red Lobster is surely more pleasant to visit on an early weeknight than late-week or weekends, observation man.

Awww, seems he and you all had a really great time :)

I don't know why, and I've no idea either what most of that means, but it does crack me up when I read it. :D

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

I am going to plant my rant flag for a minute....

So i called USCIS for my tracking number and got transferred through to a tier 2. ....we will call you back we currently have a 275 minute wait !! I have never heard of a wait time so long!! 

Don't get me wrong in understand that they deal with 6 million + applications a year and i am grateful i had a relatively smooth case but the constant wait when you are this close ...frustrating to say the least!!

rant over......

at least the sun is shinning, weather is 78 degrees and i have been approved... :D

I called up Delta during their summertime computer crash debacle.  The wait time was over 10 hours I think.

Poor Dane was all upset that he was the only one to miss the big fire tonight.  He got held up at work and will now be sitting in the firehouse all night tending the phone.  I ran by and brought him dinner, but after the kids go to bed, he's on his own.  

 

Rant is that I never see him anymore between him being on call and the volunteer stuff.

He said the news has been calling.  I'm sure that phone conversation went great with his awkward non-native phone manners...

He should remind them of (and they should write stories about) his ox-like strength, which is more important than phone manners, oj tak.
