WWTBAM Bored

Which is not my current medical condition, or the Supreme Goddess of the Klingon Empire, but just the current state of the Raspberry Bored.

Even though those two only account for tens of messages a day, there is definitely a ripple effect, as well. I'm beginning to think the Gus may not fall until tomorrow.

At least, that's what I'm trying to get mini and Nelly to believe.

the take home message

Pea-lessness and Marleylessness leads to Guslessness

Hmmmm.

P< + M< = G<

I think that Writer's Strike also contributes. There are fewer TV shows to comment about.

Okay, so we're shorthanded, but we can still snag the gus. (just doing my part to increase the post count!)

Sure, why not?! Just 300 to go.

Or something! Hell, I talk to myself all day, might as well talk with y'all.

I think we're done to 199 now. Come on ya'll.

We haven't talked about O.J. back in jail in Vegas. Will they let him out before trial?

Does he just think laws apply to everyone but him?

Didn't he make a pitstop at Arby's before he went off to jail? He seems to interpret "the rules" of these sorts of things pretty liberally. I thought "police custody" meant that you went where *they* wanted you to go.

No monkeys here. Is this the week you leave for your cruise?

Hooray for being monkey free.

Yep, I head out to Miami on Friday afternoon. I am keeping the digits seriously crossed, as we're supposed to get a storm and I could not get myself booked on an earlier flight without paying out the wazoo. Newark Airport is fraught with delay in good weather as it is.

I'm sure it'll be fine, but I hope I don't have to find out how good my travel insurance is...

We drove to Miami from southern Indiana last year for a short cruise. It was painful, especially since we only had two drivers on board.

But I'm getting crotchety enough that I'd almost rather do that than experience the "joys" of flying these days.

If non sequitors are the soup de jour, I hereby announce that I'm miffed. The giant, loud FEMA truck appeared on my street for the first time since the ice storm in December. It filled up its giant backside with other people's wooden trash, turned around, and disappeared before it got to my house. My pile of branches is so high I can't see the mailbox. I can't even see the mail truck when it comes.

I can only hope that the driver remembers that this street was not completed. If I hear that truck on the next street in an hour or so, I will go ballistic.

Nice rhesus you've got there.

I enjoy flying once I'm on the plane, but I'm so tired of running the security gauntlet. It's so tiresome trying to rack my brains and the Internet before each trip trying to figure out what I'm not allowed to pack in my carry-on baggage this time.

Current dilemma items: rechargeable batteries and a pill cutter. The batteries are NiMH, but I don't need some security person snagging them saying "you can't have batteries". Newark Airport is prone to "it doesn't say it's *not a prohibited item* so I'm taking it away from you" issues. Not long ago they took most of my baggied toiletries because they were in travel containers and not labeled with the container size. I've also had multiple wars over my prescription flouride. They can never decide if it should be in a baggie or not, despite the fact that it's too big for a baggie *and* prescriptions are exempt from the baggie rule.

I'm sure I should put the pill cutter in my checked luggage but if that gets lost, that's an issue. I don't really want to cut up a week's worth of medication because the pills get crumbly if you put them in a bottle, but I may have to and hope for the best.

If we have to get the monkey's out to chase the truck down, we'll do it!
I hate it when you can see them, but they stop before they get to your house.

Some argue that blacks should vote for Clinton “because her husband was good to us,” he continued.

“That’s not true,” he thundered. “He did the same thing to us that he did to Monica Lewinsky.”

For a while there they weren't letting food on the plane. Then they were letting it only if you bought it in the terminal after you passed through security. Lately, they're allowing food-from-home, as long as it is not in the form of a liquid or gel. They may even be allowing liquids these days, but not gels; I've asked about my favorite fudge sauce that you can't buy in New England, or Grade-B maple syrup from New England for my sister (she likes its flavor better than the lighter-colored Grade A), & been told "only as much as you could put in a 3-oz bottle". Since all my 3-oz bottles contain shampoo, I think I'll pass on turning a few into syrup bottles; its a bad flavor combo.


But last time we packed a few that were left of what my sister had made for the feast the night before. I figured "they're obviously food", & not in gel form. I forgot what they would look like on an X-ray, though. So my pack was X-rayed twice on my way onto the plane, but after the 2nd time they let it though without a comment, or even opening the pack.

And the winner is:

Lamb ribs! & Short ribs of beef!

Did anyone get the gus?

I can't read post totals unless I post. D'oh!!

Now I get answer my own question. Cool.

It looks like we about 110 short of 30k.
