The Rant of Our Discontent

We also saw hormigas del fuego (fire-ants), but we Amdro'd them, bye man.

 

Teechur:  Who can tell me how many sexes there are?

Stoodent:  There are Many (2+1), Teechur!

Teechur:  Many (2+1)?  Name them, please.

Stoodent:  Male sex, female sex, and insex!

Softball courses, like P-Math for Teeching, good grief Nola-B. ma'am.

However, the worm turns when you must take Engineering P-Math, so there ma'am.

Barely, or perhaps not even, Many students in Poland have managed to pass it, tremble in fear man.

 

Eh, I've only got number theory left.  I am not looking forward to that in the least.  Frankly, I find that kind of math boring and pointless.

1.  Speaking Canadian ootside the regional forum, Nola-B. ma'am!  Reported!!!

2.  You can ace it while standing on one foot, with knowledge already in your estimable brain, Nola-B. ma'am.

     The theory (and actuality) is:  "There exist these numbers -- 1, 2, and Many.  The rest is commentary.  Go and study."

Other than that from the loquacious Nola-B., scintillating repartee today, yawn man.

Saturday GS/ES report, see man:

 

As stated, we had itineraried Many GSs and Many ESs, and we hit all Many of each, intrepid we man.

All but 2 or Many yielded good stuff, whee man.

The take, see man:

 

-- 2 Perry Ellis Portfolio ties, large jug Arm & Hammer laundry detergent = $Many ($2+2+1), steal man

-- dish-towel, pants for Mini-B., 2 books for Mini-B. = $Many ($2+1), deal man

-- full bottle isopropyl alcohol, fully loaded Scotch-tape dispenser, big paper-clip, full jug warsh-windshield fluid =

     $Many ($2+1), steal man

-- Many (2+2) silk ties = $Many ($2+2+1), deal man

-- 2 Ralph Lauren dish-towels, full bottle isopropyl alcohol, large serving-spoon = $Many ($2+2+1), deal man

-- Many (2+1) large cubes of sticky-notes, Many (2x2x2x2x2 - [2+2+1]) ballpoint pens = $Many ($2+1), deal man

-- pair of brown socks = half a buck, deal man

-- full box plastic dinnerware forks = half-of-half a buck, deal man

-- 2 books for Mini-B. = half a buck, deal man

-- lidded cooking-pot, Many (2+1) bath-towels, 2 warshcloths, hand-towel, sandwich box, 

     Many (2+2) books in Spanish for Mini-B. = $Many ($2+1), steal of the year man

Total = $Many ($2x2x2x2x2-2-2), highly satisfying man

 

We guess that the nadir of our experience was 2 weeks ago and that we are again zenithing, new verb man.

Mini-B. has a red rash (not raised/no large bumps) on his arm and lower abdomen, very itchy wee man.

Mrs. T-B. had the same for a day, but it went away, ding dong the itch is dead* man.

Mini-B. claims that calamine lotion "burns" and that Benadryl-type spray freezes, climatically particular wee man.

Phone-nurse recommends 1% hydrocortisone cream and a doc visit on Monday, safe recommendation she man.

Any ideas, huh man?

 

*hint:  there is a highly bonusable clever phrase hidden somewhere in the above, search for it man

My older one gets eczema on her hands during winter.  Only thing that works is the Dane's steroid prescription eczema cream.

Edited March 25, 2018 by N-o-l-a

[TBoneTX 45,910]

We gave him some oral Benadryl before bed, let's see tomorrow Nola-B. ma'am.

We have some 1% hydrocortisone/1% iodoquinol cream here, but the nurse couldn't recommend its use, careful she ma'am.

And it hasn't been anything close to winter here for Many weeks, Texas weather Many etc. man...

Gracias for being supportive and what're you doing up at this hour Nola-B. ma'am?

[TBoneTX 45,910]

Second of regular Sat.-night laundry loads subdued, including new purchases man.

Mrs. T-B. fouled up our warsh-dishing schedule, so second of (nearly) 2 loads subdued and imminently de-dished man.

 

Note, see man:  For all the hoo-ha that we make about Ralph Lauren bath linens, their quality doesn't even rank in our top Many, frankly man.

From the tip of our forebrain, Laura Ashley, Better Homes & Gardens, Waverly, and most Hotel Collection are all better, rank we man.

We shall have to conduct a formal search-&-evaluation and report back, documentable we man.

[TBoneTX 45,910]

The same observations about quality apply to Oscar de la Renta ties, actually pretty awful man.

And Jos. A. Bank ties, which, except by rare accident, look like pigeon vomit and are thus recognizable, expert we man.

And we wonder why Arrow even bothers to continue to make men's shirts, get with the program man.

 

Interesting to us is that the co. that made Manhattan shirts (a major brand for years) partially ended up as part of the co. that makes Pierre Cardin shirts, trivia man.

 

Pierre Cardin makes better ties than shirts, although usually that's not saying much man.

We get terribly dry hands here when the humidity gets below Half, could never live in Arizona man.

Eucerin is good, Lubriderm a bit better, and Silicone Glove (Avon) best, tried all man.  Mrs. T-B. loves Lubriderm, dermal she man.

The very best is to slather our hands with Vitamin A&D ointment overnight for 2 nights, but it stains fabrics man.

[TBoneTX 45,910]

Mrs. T-B. has been interpreting at asylum hearings for Venezuelans, desperate they men/ma'ams.

One Venezolana, Many (2x2x2) years younger than Mrs. T-B., remarked how nice it was to have an interpretess of her same age, duped she man.

Mrs. T-B. was insufferably pleased with herself after that, somewhat vain she man.

[TBoneTX 45,910]

The useless POTS accountants have been fired, and we are doing our own taxes, in case you were intensely wondering man.

We shall intersperse do-taxing with read-newspapering on Sunday, eclectic we man.

Meanwhile, de-dish cat prep zzz man.

Mornin', still-winterized and other babes with +1 inventories!

Baby gets up at least every two hours to eat.  I sleep in short bursts.

My basement is freezing!
