[Warp Daddy]

Warp - Congrats on the great day skiing and the weight loss! Way to go!

Right now, I'm reveling in the sweet sound of silence. Ahhhhhh. Bliss! Laundry is going... and I have the house to myself now that the kids are asleep; I don't think anyone's home in the other apartments even. Nice.

You DESERVE a Break today !! Man i read about your growing prowess as a" bumper" and keepin all the boyz in line -- that's great !!
Remember last season when u were having knee issues, Who'd of THUNK IT !!

Congrats wish i could still handle bumps, but gotta focus now on what I CAN DO

PS What courses are you taking this semester ??

 

[severine]

This semester: The Science of Linguistics and East Asia Since the 19th Century. One week of break left!

Yes, I'm amazed at doing bumps at all, even baby ones, considering my knee. It still protests a bit but that's because I haven't been as good as I should have been in keeping up with the exercises. Legs were still sore this morning but they feel fine now. I'm hoping to get out again tomorrow night.

Right now... just baked some coconut macaroons. They don't look so good, though they taste great. I'm thinking of drizzling some melted chocolate over them to make up for the bad looks.

Hey Carrie the Linguistics should be right in your power zone !!

One of the more interesting courses i took in grad school was General Semantics a required course in my doctoral study ( Was anything but the title ) , The damn course had a rep for being a sumbitch I was in my late 30's had beaucoup experience and at that time was a senior level executive at the university

That course which MOST grad students and all of the experienced professionals in the class originally hated really expanded my thinking about the multi-ordinality of words but even more so on the arbitrary assigment of both meaning. and comprehension by the originators of "any " language .I had to completely rethink things i thought that as a successful professional that i "KNEW" with certainty regarding the area based on years of experience -- well it was INTERESTING . Frankly one of the more useful courses in the long run

he second course sounds interesting too given ALL that has happened in that region in teh last 40 yrs

One week of so called freedom huh - -well hope you get out there on the boards a few times -- HAVE FUN and by all means KEEP BAKING

A little ADVANCE on future dental work there doc?

 

[RootDKJ]

Trying to score some new office space. I need to move out of my current office, but the places to move to aren't first rate...

A little ADVANCE on future dental work there doc?

Unfortunately since it's my office staff that I'm feeding them too, there's no profit to be made when I have them in the chair Today's M&M purchase was all about keeping the 11 women that my business partner and I employ happy with a chocolate fix

 

[hardline]

printing out some copies of the sound study i did for a club that i have to present to the community board meeting at 6 then im off to stowe.

 

[severine]

Warp, I hope you're right! My textbook arrived today for Linguistics and it's a little intimidating. Still, it's a good class to take as a future educator. The other class should be really cool; I had the professor before and she used to be in the CIA. Her specialty was East Asia and she had great stories to share. I emailed her last week for the book list and she actually remembered me even though the class I last had with her was 5 years ago.

Right now, I'm COLD. I should put more clothes on. Doing laundry. Trying to relax. The kids have been crazy today and after spending 3 hours running errands with them (as well as my nearly-potty-trained daughter pooping her pants in the grocery store), I'm ready to take it easy.

 

[drjeff]

Right now I'm getting ready to see my last patient of the day and then home to see what my family room looks like as the demo work for fixing a water leak from an upstairs bathroom began today. When my wife was telling me about what was going on at home, the phrase "plastic tent city" was used Can't wait to see the dust containment tent they set up

Yeah we too were taken back by it initially and for about 3-4 weeks -- it actually frustrated me BUT suddenly the lights came on and it was actually enjoyable -- sometimes its more difficult to UNLEARN and then reload -- just hang in there with it even if it seems wierd .

So you got an" ex- spook" for a prof for your East Asia course - probably got some very Bondesque anecdotes , or perhaps a look at how things REALLY operate . might be a hoot !!!. It wonderful that she remembered you -- good vibe there >

Ah the old poopy in the store gig man reminds me of one EXPERIENCE we had with a buddy and his young son - TRUE story and presented us a REAL PARENTAL DILEMMA . goes like this --

We both got the Home Improvement gene thing going , going to help each other do various projects . Anyways we're in a Building supply place looking at stuff and our 3 year boys wonders off

i start looking for them and lo and behold they were in PLUMBING section !!

U guessed it they "FOUND" the toilet daddy !! Well yeah they did, BUT it was a floor display and my buddy's boy was up there taking a dump on teh display unit toilet


well i had to laff at least he was smart enuf to not crap his pants

 

[severine]

I am literally LOL right now! :lol: I seem to recall one of my siblings doing that at Grossman's once (the predecessor to Home Depot-esque stores)... or at least, attempting but being caught before successful in the attempt. I guess I should be thankful for small miracles.

The ex-CIA professor wasn't one of the Bond-types, but she still had interesting stories to share. I'm looking forward to that class.

Kids are mellowed out eating apples and watching PBS. I just ate a late lunch. (Might as well call it dinner, huh?) of expired boxed Mac & Cheese; hope I don't die later. It feels later than it is...

 

[drjeff]

Right now I'm about to leave the office and pick up a pizza to feed the bottomless pits that my kids have been lately. If I'm lucky, they'll even be a piece left more me when they're finally full Can you say MEGA growth spurt

 

[RootDKJ]

I just got home from work to realize I left my laptop in a co-workers car....I guess my plans for tomorrow morning just changed!
