We are an upstanding individual, si man.

 

When then-Mrs.-T-B. was studying for her citizenship test, we quizzed her on the questions, quizzical we man.

One was, "Name 2 American Indian tribes," si man.

Then-she man said "Apache!" and then looked blank/scared, si and uh-oh man.

We prompted her by asking, "Where did we go in Louisiana that time, huh man?"

Then-she man still looked blank, blank then-she man man.

We said, "We went to the..."

Then-she man exclaimed, "Casinos... that's it, si man!  The Casino Indians, si man!"

 

We will have to learn if this JC belongs to this largest of American Indian tribes, see we man.

Thrilling Sunday report, see man:

 

We did not leave the casa all day, ensconced we man.

Part of the reason was to await the hoped-for communication from the JC, hope we man.

It was also an icky-drippy rainy day, blah man.

 

Our one LL was done early, domestic we man.

We dished/de-dished the warsher early, domestic we man.

 

Lunch was Tuna Glop, ingest we man.

A siesta was then taken, zzz we man.

Din-din was 2 turkey-&-cheese sandwiches, ingest we man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. brought Mini-B. actually before AFV began, mirabile dictu for Two Guys week man.

Some Nerf football was played, briefly man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. was amused to observe miu's fascination with new toy, a real miu-hit man.

Mini-B. actually watched all of AFV with us, watch Two Guys man.

Of course, he was hungry, why doesn't ex-Mrs.-T-B. feed him adequately on Sundays man?  :ranting:

 

Of course the JC finally e-mailed us after all this, wasted an uninterrupted weekend man.  :girlwerewolf2xn:

We are trying to figure out how & when to chat, complicated by Mini-B.'s presence man.

We also suspect that the JC goes to bed quite early, :girlwerewolf2xn: but must confirm this man.

We must ask her if we should shave our flowing locks so she can't scalp us, must remember we man.

 

We must clean miu-box and put garbage bag with the neighbor's, parasitic we man.

Party with the rubias tonight, cavort we man.

Must skool Mini-B. and take Uncle T-B. to doctor, chauffeuristic we man.

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

The JC e-mailed us earrrrrly Monday morn (like Bro-G time -- perhaps a disqualifier) to promise comprehensive answers to our initial e-mail after she dished the warsher & laundried, domestic JC man.

 

She attached fotos not of herself, but of the dishes & laundry, see with shock we man.

 

We don't yet know her living arrangements, no man, but it's either with a large family or she let stuff up-pile, wow man.

 

Very nice-looking casa, however, see man.

Thrilling Monday report, see man:

 

No reply after promise from new JC, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

 

Spent entire morn dealing with Uncle T-B., senior he man.

Uncle T-B. forgot about today's doc appointment, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

We had to cajole him to go, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

Then Uncle T-B. had us try to get into his investment account, password trouble man.

We spent half an hour on phone with customer service to no avail, probably private computer issue man.  :girlwerewolf2xn:

 

Stopped at Discount Tyre on return to casa, tyres low on air in cold weather man.

Little snotty technician insisted on our name & phone, "send you info on your tyres man."

We resisted this with a passion, none of their business and certainly for marketing purposes man.

There was much back & forth, waste of time in life man.

He finally said, "Why are you arguing over free air, huh man?"

We said, "Why don't YOU just air the damned tyres without horsepoop, huh man?"

Little snot rolled his eyes, snorted, and complied, should've gotten his butt fired but we were hungry man.

 

Returned to casa at nearly 1 p.m. without having consumed anything, no ingest we man.

Lunch was the last "Velveeta Cheesy Bowl Lasagna & Meat Sauce*," ingest we man.

     *bought close to a year ago from supermarket closeout bin, financially savvy we man

A siesta was taken thereafter, awaken early with headache we man.  :ranting:

 

Mini-B.'s dentist called, one day before appointment man.

Had to cancel or change insurance, current co. not paid dentist anything for over a year man.  :ranting:

We managed to do this, si man.

If registration status doesn't change from "pending" by morn, must cancel appointment, :ranting: man.

 

Din-din was onebag nuked Aldi mixed vegetables + nuked Aldi salisbury steaks in gravy, ingest Two Guys man.

Movie night was Meet the Parents, semi-blah and watch Two Guys man.

Then came first half of NFL game, watch Two Guys man.

Many (2+2+2) -- si man, Many (2+2+2) -- bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

This tallies to double digits (2x2x2 +2) already for the week, count last week's Two Guys Day consumption man.

 

We shall try to embed Mini-B. on time and roust him earlier than usual, always challenging man.

We must take Mama T-B. for a fasting blood-draw, senior she man insistent on early time man.

Party with the rubias tonight, cavort we man.

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

 

Edited to add, see man:  The original JC viewed our profile again, geez man...
