Scintillating Tuesday repartee, yawn man.

-----

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man:

 

Lunch was the remaining Many (2x2x2x2 -1) Korean Bulgogi (?) dumplings procured from Costco Many weeks ago, ingest we man.

 

Mini-B. thought that they were merely OK on his one consumption of them, but we consumed them for Many meals, ingest and ingest and ingest (and perhaps ingest) we man.

 

We halved them, so there were Many (2x2x2x2x2 -2) half-Bulgogis, ingest we man.

 

That, plus the nearly entire bag of Butterfinger* Halloween candy on which we got an early start, disliked our stomach, or the converse man.

     *the most useless and vile creation ever, gag us but they were on sale man

 

Din-din was 2 ham sandwiches, grand-jury indictment and ingest we man.

 

We did not leave the casa except within the hour to mail some bills at the Post Office, financially responsible we man.

 

Wild, uninhibited party with the rubias begins imminently, frolic we man.

I hate butterfingers. I will avoid all bags with them.

Thrilling Friday report, see man:

 

Breakfast/lunch/din-din was Many (2+1) plates at a below-average Chinese buffet, enh man.

This place wouldn't be in our top Many (2+2+1) favorite buffets, no man.

Even worse is that we have only 2 or Many (2+1) places that rank as favorites, consider that man.

 

We were returning from GS-ing, looking greatly forward to a deep nap, when ex-Mrs.-T-B. phoned, phone we ex-she man.

The A/C in her casa quit, and it was Many degrees inside, sweat man.

She asked us to retrieve Mini-B. from skool, he couldn't abide that heat man.

We wrote off our nap and retrieved Mini-B., surprised wee man.

 

Mini-B.'s din-din was the remaining Costco orange chicken, ingest all wee man.

 

After inspection, ex-Mrs.-T-B. told us that the furnace needs replacing, out-of-pocket man.

There's still no cold air, no man.

"We'll have to pretend that we're in Ecu, si man," concluded ex-she man.

 

Weather will be hot for Many (2+1) more days, ouch man.

This won't bother Cousin Mini-B. at all, no man.

Mini-B. will be a very unhappy camper till Sunday eve, we man know wee man man.

And ex-Mrs.-T-B. just shelled out $Many for 2 tickets to Ecu, it never fails man.

Ex-she man has made her financial bed and must lie in it, conclude we man.

 

More drama from Uncle T-B., rapidly losing it senior he man.

He opened ALL his pill bottles to refill his organizer, then knocked the bottles over, egad man.

Of course, he called Mama T-B., last thing senior she needed man.

He also couldn't operate his super-simple blood-pressure machine, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

 

Mama T-B. went down to try to remediate the situation, sympathy for senior she man.

After her nearly hourlong complaint-call to us, we conclude that we shall buy him a Many'th (2+2+1th) -- si man, Many'th (2+2+1th) -- BP unit, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

 

We have itineraried Many GSs and an ES for Saturday, itinerary we man.

Unlike Friday, these will be very proximal, contiguous neighborhoods man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. might show up for them purely to utilize the A/C in the ex-Mrs.-T-B.-mobile, wager we man.

Need to get your Uncle's meds put in blisters packs. Makes life so much easier.

 

Our heating went out Tuesday morning. One of the coldest days last week too. Luckily the part was still under warranty sadly labour was not and still cost a small fortune. 

 

Last weekend we went to a Reptile Expo. Came home with a hognose snake (older daughters, and that stays in her apartment), a Extreme harlequin Crested Gecko, and a High White Leopard tortoise.  Been crazy this week making sure all of them were doing ok due to stress and such.

 

Had to take the kids to get shoes, and the Tornado needed clothes. She is growing like a weed. How on earth are her feet already a size 10 ladies at only 11?? 

 

Found a good sale at JC Penny's at least, many of the items were at least 50% off and a few 70%

 

The best part is I didn't have to shop in the adult section because Penny's has sizes that are for older kids and doesn't subject them to being inappropriate clothes.

1. Oh man that sucks. 

2. Ours did that about 6 years ago too. Without the pool we would have died of heat temps where the hottest of the year.

3. It was English spelling :P 

4. Exactly what I wanted to be :)

5. Chickens are being freeloaders atm. If they keep it up they will be soup :P. Their finishing up molting and not laying eggs. The others that aren't molting have started back up but are Still slacking. The rest are still too young to lay. 

6. Resale shops around here suck. Some charge more then Walmart for crying out loud. 

7. :P 

8. I'm happy with deals. Was happier I found something to start with. The Tornado is starting to get picky. Just glad she's not in PS or it would have been worse.

Mini-B. has very highly developed negotiation skills when he wants something, si man.  (He will certainly end up as a Sales Director somewhere, convinced we man.)  However, he has met his match, see man.

 

Text exchange between we man and wee man just now, see man:

 

Mini-B.:  Hey Dad, can I borrow $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2), huh man?

T-B.:  Can we put our bird in your oven, huh man?

M.-B.:  Dad please. There's this new game that I really want.  And it's on sale, si man.

T-B.:  Borrow it from Mommy, si man.

M.-B.:  She won't.  Because she wants to buy me Jordans, si man.

T-B.:  Decide which one you want more, si man.

M.-B.:  The shoes will barely fit me for another year probably.  But the game will last for a way longer time, si man.

T-B.:  Then tell her that you want the game instead of the Jordans, si man.  Simple, si man.

M.-B.:  OK [pause] I told her and she still doesn't want to buy it, no man.

T-B.:  Use your negotiating skills, si man.

M.-B.: Those don't work on her -- I tried, si man.

T-B.:  Try harder, si man.

M.-B.:  She won't buy it, no man.

T-B.:  If she says no, honor that, si man.  We want a report on what you learn on Schoology today, see man.

M-B.:  OK, sigh man.

 

:rofl: , si man

It lasted perhaps half an hour, short man.

However, neighbor across street got half his big tree in his front yard, missed car and casa man.

Young couple down street had tree fall on car & garage, much damage man.

Our beautiful lawn has twigs/sprigs/leaves all over it, Not Our Trees man.

We confirm to the world that miu will not eat paté, only cuts man.

There's nothing more disgusting than uneaten paté ignored till it's rancid, yuck man.
