Thread Drift

And all this time I thought it was Mean While, Back at the Ranch. LOL

That's a good alternate meaning!

I knew a woman from Tennessee, named Carvel, who pronounced it: "Mow-er Well Beee RuhVEALed!" She'd say it to remind me that we just never really know how things will turn out. It's sort of a life philosophy at this point!

Although, I do like "meanwhile, back at the ranch..." It occurs to me that this is a way we could draw more TE'rs out of lurkdom on thread drift....make up acronyms, and wait for them to ask! hehhhehehee

Knotted, glad to hear you're feeling better. It's all well and good to be the health care provider saying, "This virus will leave you sick and weak for 10-14 days." It's quite another thing to BE the person with the virus. I hate being the patient! Looking forward to more tales of the road from the PNW. L.

I made a chocolate cream pie tonight - it's chilling in the fridge right now! Ooh I can't wait!

Knotted - glad you're finally getting over that cold! It seems like it's been a month. I'm sure it feels longer for you.

Now we're trying to decide which types of gourmet pizza to order. This could be a while. I'm also starting the cinnamon rolls tonight (will cook in the AM). Good thing I'm getting in some pretty decent rides each day. I need to in order to burn off all of this food!

Lise - I'm glad you explained where you got the MWBR thing. I've been wondering...

I am so pleased to be ahead of the SS game for once!! I just ordered some cool Florida-themed stuff, resisting the socks I _really_ wanted to send- Love Sucks. Maybe if I ever get Lise for my SS ;-)

I highly doube SS reads this thread, but you never know. We are rapidly closing in on the other most popular thread, in terms of posts!! Maybe she's a lurker.

I _did_ buy the Love Sucks for my daughter- although love doesn't seem to suck for her and the perfect son-in-law. The love birds kind of reminded me of Kelly's first child, Senegal Parrot Roy.

Well, the torts are safely tucked in bed, and I am out on the patio with Dill, enjoying el cheapo Sauvignon Blanc and pretzels, waiting for the nightly crow migration. I cannot believe how hot the patio blocks are! BF is "back home" for a week. I am very lonely. You guys will undoubtedly see evidence of this in the week to come.

I have to work tomorrow.

Hmmm, I've never signed up for SS, due to my overwhelming aversion to the post office, but it is tempting to sign up and manipulate the system so as to get "Love Sucks" socks from Nanci....hmmmm, (hatching evil plan)...BWAHAHAHAHA!

Ahem. Love Sucks socks, you say? How intriguing!

More about MWBR--I knew Carvel from Al-Anon meetings when I was in my 20s. She also used to say (insert Tennessee accent): "Ahnger? Ah know all about ahnger! 400 yeahrs ago, mah people were payntin' theymselves BLUE an' goin' to wahr naykid! Yew cain't scare me with ahnger!" She was referring to the Celts, her tree-worshipping, blue painting, naked war-mongering ancestors. Mine, too, for that matter!

There's a PO where I work- I keep them in business with all my on-line shippingg returns.

oooh, we've got some thunder here in Seattle! And some wacky looking clouds. We don't get thunder often.

Here's how ridiculous PMS is: I cannot fix the creak in my new Brooks saddle and it's just getting worse each time I ride. Can't call Wallingford until tomorrow... and that makes me wanna cry! I HATE crying so easily!!!! Grrrrrr.

Ha ha! My dog is glued to the window trying to figure out what the noise is! Hasn't started raining yet.

I need more coffee.
