Thrilling Sunday report, see man:

 

Awoke feeling somewhat better but still coughing like an illegitimate male child, that's the lung and short of it man.

Anyone with a cure for syncopal cough, let us know, dangerous man.

 

Mama T-B. still a bit weak to host a visit from Mini-B., recovering senior she man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. came in the a.m. to install a toilet apparatus that finally works, ingenious construction man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. did a couple of other minor fizzicle* items, too, helpful ex-she man.

     *this should be the spelling, si man

Mama T-B. thrilled, finally man.

Mama T-B. also feeling somewhat better, enough to lecture us man.

 

Lunch for Mini-B. was Many (2+1) PB&J sandwiches, ingest wee man.

Lunch for us was one PB&J sandwich, ingest we man.

During football game, Many (2+2) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

 

We felt progressively less good as the day went on, awful cold man.

Conquered the Many (2+1) laundry loads, a struggle man.

Dished & must de-dish the warsher, surprisingly full load man.

Unsuccessfully informed miu that she had already been served miu-treats, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

 

Mini-B. left at end of Two Guys week, bye wee man and sigh we man.

Miu again didn't comprehend the sudden quiet, explain fruitlessly again to miu we man.

 

We are not sure what's for din-din, unmotivated we man.

Guaifenesin has certainly become a major food group, perhaps pop more we man.

 

A nearby ES is running Many% ([2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2+2+2]%) off on Monday, perhaps scope it we man.

Have to remain alert for an important project involving Mama T-B., react rapidly when it comes in we man.

We otherwise intend to try to rest, still desperately need zzz we man.

 

Thanksgiving will be Wednesday at noon at ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s, invite we and Mama T-B. ex-she man.

(The big shindig will be at the Rojo's casa on Thursday, obviously not invited we man.)

We are to bring an apple pie and iced tea, projected purchase at Aldi man.

We hope that Mama T-B. is strong enough to go, hope we man.

And we shall buy only SWEET tea, gracias beaucoup man.

 

No party with the rubias again tonight, still under weather we man.

If they pout, we shall easily and promptly replace them, many pipelined rubias man.

And how did we score these Many turkeys for free, huh Y ma'am?

These are hard and exhausting, si Y ma'am.

Scored the many free turkeys because of promotional member deals with multiple stores I shop at. Technically could have scored a 4th turkey but that would be excessive. Spend a certain amount since Sept/October and you'd get a free turkey in return is a popular deal here. My only complaint is the turkey is smaller this year 16-17 compared to the 25-28lb birds other times.

Special Monday ES report, see man:

 

In the drist and mizzle (mist and drizzle), we attended the ES mentioned above, Many% off man.

They had a lot of stuff left, si man.

However, none of it interested us, no man.

Q for DA man, see man:  Why is it that, whenever you post in any thread, the sentences are so long horizontally and the message expands the screen widthwise, huh man?

You're browsing using a phone, tablet, or a computer with a small monitor, so the formatting on my signature block (I couldn't figure out a good way to do multiple columns other than preformatted text; timeline takes  pushes things out, maybe?

 

Which is to say my posts look just like anyone else's for me, but, as someone who programs for a living and who back when I was a single guy with no life spent most of his free time in front of a computer too, I spent $many for a large, high-resolution primary screen many years ago.

 

Anyway, I'll try reformatting my signature.

It's been a hectic week+.   Week ago today added another candle to my birthday cake...Sorry, too hard to do P-math to give you the exact number of years LOL.  Did go out and buy myself a birthday present.  New huge TV with the help of $889 worth of discounts from Costco credit card and yearly  membership return.

 

Tomorrow leaving for the Keys to have our Thanksgiving there.  I may regret this, but invited mama Neonred and she said she would like to go....Let the complaining begin.  The ride was too long.  My back aches.  My legs are stiff.  That ride nearly killed me.  We need to find a bathroom quick because I have diarrhea 💩.  I can't eat that because it upsets my stomach.  I didn't sleep at all last night.  Elderly senior lady :girlwerewolf2xn:.

 

On a brighter note, our family will increase in size by 2 on December 9 at 9:00am.  My daughter is scheduled to give birth....C-section...to twin girls.  Wife asked me if we are going to the hospital for the birth?  I asked why?  They don't need me....I don't do C-sections.  How am I going to help?  Let her mother, the ex-Neonred, be there for her.  Will see how this sorts itself out.

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man:

 

Checked Costco flyer and discovered Many (2+1) items on sale that we should get, no time like the present man.

There were many better times than the present, discover we man.

Costco beyond mobbed, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

We managed to get our sale items, $Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 +1) man.

Lunch was the footlong hot dog* + Pepsi for $1 + half a buck, financially savvy we man.

     *consumed standing up because no seats, ingest upstanding we man

Left with the usual Costco Crowd Headache, get us out of that madhouse man.

Was met at casa door by outraged miu demanding treats, service miu headachy we man.

 

A restorative siesta was taken, si man.

We did hear miu, in loudly vocal and vain attempt, bring up a feather-roller, Play Daddy man.

Upon awakening, we coughed like an absolute illegitimate male child, it never ends man.

 

Went to Mama T-B.'s for an Amazon return and to start the Mama T-B.-mobile, aysheep senior she man.

Mama T-B. off-urinated at Walgreens for not having her Rx prepared yet, incompetent goons man.

However, she didn't yell at or even lecture us this time, maybe too tired senior she man.

Had us go to cafeteria to get ourself din-din with use of excess monthly funds, see details below man.

Gave us leftover salad and piece of carrot cake, it's Christmas every day man.

 

Took din-din and Amazon return to Kohl's, get $Many-off store coupon from Amazon there man.

Returned to casa, served din-din to miu, and consumed din-din, see man:

 -- 2 thick ham slices, mac+cheese, baked beans, ingest we man.

We then consumed the salad, ingest we man.

We then consumed the carrot cake, ingest we man.

We wonder whether we should now take Siesta #2, re-zzz we man:

     To zzz, or not to zzz, question man;

     That is the question, redundant man.

 

On Wednesday, we shall click ourself into Mama T-B.'s parking area, surreptitious we man.

We shall then fire up the Mama-T-B.-mobile and get Mama T-B. around front, si man.

This is semi-inefficient, but the Mama-T-B.-mobile needs to be driven, si man.

In addition, it is easier for Mama T-B. to get into/out of, si man.

 

We are certain to be yelled at about our driving, in no doubt at all we man.

We shall then lunch at ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s, si man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. reported that she had her eyelashes done today, vain ex-she man.

 

We are still on the fence in regard to Siesta #2, agonizing decision man.

 

Party with the rubias later, cavort we man.

Thrilling Wednesday report, see man:

 

Picked up Mama T-B. for ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s Thanksgiving lunch, collect senior she man we man.

The arrangement was as follows, see man:

   1.  We drove the T-B.-mobile into Mama T-B.'s complex, si man.

   2.  We parked and fired up the little-used Mama-T-B.-mobile, si man.

   Many.  We drove around to front entrance and collected Mama T-B., si man.

   Many.  We chauffeured both directions, si man.

 

The goal was to give Mama T-B. a higher seat to slide into & out of, logic man.

However, Mama-T-B.-mobile now too high for Mama T-B.'s ease, uh-oh man.

It was very hairy getting her in, out, in, out, ouch man.

And Mama T-B. was rather shaky and weak today to begin with, oh brother man.

This does not bode well for Mama T-B.'s resumed driving, uh-oh man.  :( 

 

Nevertheless, we got to ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa, si man.

Already there were ex-Mrs.-T-B., Cousin Mini-B., Cousinette Mini-B., and a sullen Mini-B., si man.

 

Lunch was a complete Thanksgiving spread in standard excellent ex-Mrs.-T-B. fashion, si man.

We consumed 2 full plates, ingest we man.

A nice visit was had, si man.

 

On drive back, we stopped at Walgreens, and we finally procured Mama T-B.'s crucial Rx, idiots man. :ranting:

 

Upon return, we again dropped Mama T-B. at front entrance and repeated initial process in reverse, man si.

We accompanied Mama T-B. to her crib, accompany senior she man we man.

We got her in and she collapsed on her couch, out-wiped senior she man.

If she had had to take one more step, she would not have made it, sigh man.

We hope for consistent improvement in her fizzicle abilities, hope we man.

So far, she remains determined, determined senior she man.

If she concludes that her independent days over, she'll lose the will to live, si and sigh man.

 

We T-B.-mobiled back to the casa, fended off highly interactive miu, and napped, zzz we man.

 

After zzz-ing, we found that a major project for Mama T-B. was ready for review, get on it we man.

Many (2x2x2 -1) hours later, we were peeved at its creator, :ranting: we man.

Details later, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

 

Din-din was onecan of corn, ingest we man.

No time for party with the rubias, cool your rubia jets man.

 

Thursday Manyvember Many'rd is the Many'th (2x2x2x2 +2th) anniversary of losing Papa T-B., day before that "Thanksgiving" man.
