Yeah, really. It's getting scary.

You shouldn't be saluting anybody. You've already reached the rank of the gods.

You *clearly* don't know me well enough to know that you really, really shouldn't feed my ego like that.


It's over-sized enough as it is already.

Not sure if Neuro was commenting on that, but I second the notion, anyway.

That's what I was replying to.

What exactly do we mean when we say salute? We're not talking about the one eyed salute?

I'm saying hello, but I don't wanna know what is going on here - so I am getting some dinner

What's for dinner?

Hmmmm. I just got offered a opportunity for a paying writing job. Writing a blog for an online magazine. Not sure if I can do what they need, but I'm trying to get more information. If they have more openings, would anyone else here be interested? I don't know if the person in charge has to get a recommendation from the person who contacted me or what. But it can't hurt to ask, right?

Happy 4th Reppers

Happy 4th peeps!

Yes, happy 4th of July.

Sadly, my allergies have chosen today to kick back into high gear. I'm going to hit them with every weapon I have, which I don't like to do because I don't like to mix stuff. But this is my first July 4th here, and apparently it's a pretty big deal, so I want to be able to assure my disappointed rednecks that I did everything I could if I end up having to spend it in a dark room with a wet cloth over my face.

After having to do that on New Years, I'm starting to wonder whether maybe I'm allergic to American holiday celebrations.

Knowing you?


Entirely likely.

What can I say? I hate seeing happy people having fun so much my whole body rejects it.

Come down with me when I visit family. On either side. You'll feel great. A'int no happy people there. At least not for long.

aw...

That's a generous offer, Vince. I might have to take you up on it, because it looks like that may be the only way I get to experience an American holiday.

See you for... Thanksgiving would be the next major one?

Labor day. Then Halloween, but that's more for little kids. Then Thanksgiving.

Yep - that's it

Morning.

There a lot of people in my house right now. All sleeping.

I'm not one of them.

Last night was fun at work. Pretty much no customers. A 90-minute thunderboomer that flickered lights in the store and dropped golf-ball hail all over the place for roughly 15 of those minutes. And then the store behind us had about 7 firetrucks in its parking lot for roughly 3 hours (it's up the hill, so all we could see was the lights flashing in our windows, but nothing of what was happening).

And after all of that, all the local communities had their fireworks anyway--we could almost see one over the hill beyond the parking lot.

Glad it's over, anyway.

I'm not one much for holidays, particularly summer holidays. The only good thing about them is the extra pay (whether or not I work) and the excuse to grill.

Though I felt bad for one guy last night. He comes up to get a propane exchange. He's telling me that he had the steaks and corn on the grill and just ran out. And as I'm opening the cage (outside), the storm opens up on us. Totally sucks.

Today, I'm detangling my Peke's butt. *sigh* My life just keeps getting more exciting by the minute, y'know?

Morning Reppers- I so don't want to be at work today.

Methinks Bos needs more coffee. He thinks he's in a different thread this morning.

Yeah, the brain's not quite firing on all cylinders today.

Too much holiday yesterday, Bos?

Or just normal Second Monday stuff?

Little from column A, little from Column B.

Though I am off tomorrow, so this is like Friday and Monday combined. Very odd.
