IC* report, see man:

     *Indian Chica, "IJC" sounds like "International Jurisprudence Commission" or something man

 

The IC Zangi-messaged us at around 1 p.m., success man.

She agrees that we have much to learn about each other, agreeable IC man.

However, she asked one substantive question and several superficial ones, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

We are her first (potential) Internet simian, so maybe she doesn't know, si or know man.

 

We need to get her to spit out her schedule, can't just sit around waiting for contact man.

We're mystified why she hasn't revealed her cell number, avoid answering that one she man.

Maybe she is unaware of typical protocol if this is all new to her, si man.

We have brought these items up, hopefully hear back tonight or soon man.

Advice, huh man?

Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

The IC awoke us via Zangi at o'dark-Many, almost a fatal error man.

We had to arise at o'dark-Many (they blur together) to get Mini-B. to Band sectional, :ranting: man.

We groggily replied that we were still asleep, educate we man IC she man man.

 

After skooling Mini-B., went to supermarket for 2 needed items, groggy we man.

Desperately wanted more zzz, desperate-for-zzz we man.

IC Zangi'd us before we could avail ourself, interested IC man.

We agreed on a lengthier Zangi caucus at half-past noon, agree we and IC man.

 

We managed to shower, desperate-to-awaken we man.

Ran Many (2+1) errands, errand we man.

One was to Big Lots for our last-ever visit, store closing man.

We found Many usable items at deep discount, at least Many% off man.

In fact, lunch was onecan of beef stew from there, ingest we man.

 

A fruitful Zangi caucus occurred, bond IC man with we man man.

The IC's parents were killed in an auto accident Many (2x2x2 +1) years ago, learn we man.

It appears that the IC is at least comfortable financially, perceive we man.

At least she will not be a dig-golder, presume we man.

And she keeps asking what we think about her, hopeful man.

 

The IC had to go at 2 p.m., leave IC man.

We immediately took a siesta, zzz we man.

 

Played backyard football with Mini-B., play Two Guys man.

We think we yelled upon every throw & catch, need full body-transplant we man.

We did set a new record of Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 -2 -1) consecutive catches, new Two Guys record man.

 

Din-din was Costco angusburgers, ingest Two Guys man.

This is usually Friday's cuisine, typical man.

However, Mini-B.'s Many'th birthday is Friday, aging wee man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. and we will take him out to din-din, treat we and ex-she man wee man man.

Of course he wants to go to Raisin' Canes, blecch and overpriced man.

 

Hastily and surreptitiously wrapped Mini-B.'s birthday presents, procrastinatory we man.  :bonk: 

We are giving him Many (2+1) boxes of chocolate-nut brownies from Big Lots, discount man.

We are giving him a left-handed-thrower's baseball glove, hard to find man.

 

Miu is giving him a card with miu-hair taped in it and this description, see man:

   "A gift for your FUR-niture, si man," hee hee man.

 

Possible Zangi caucus after IC gets off work, not guaranteed man.

Party with the rubias thereafter, cavort we man.

 

We have itineraried Many (2+1) ESs for Friday, itinerary we man.

Birthday din-din in evening, q.v. above man.

And that was/is our thrilling Thursday, report we man.
