It's for remitting income withholding. Each one has a case number, some exceeding the 15 character before turning it to scientific format. And because I need it to be a CSV format, it screws up every time I try to do what I need to do with it. My boss just gave us a work around of adjusting the numbers to be no more than 10 characters, and if there are problems, back to square 1.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T18:31:53-05:00
LZ, oh, I actually meant the real two. If I'd've known one guy did both, I'd have gone back in time to save him until this month.
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-15T18:36:28-05:00
Did Fess Parker play Jim Bowie?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T18:39:36-05:00
Sorry, saw daniel boone and just thought historic frontiersman and somehow got him confused. But yeah, even Daniel Boone isn't safe anymore!
Lord Zombitten 2016-01-15T18:40:01-05:00

Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T18:44:02-05:00
Zem, I was on YouTube and key and Peele was a suggestion.

Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T18:52:34-05:00
Dammit Trinkets! You beat me by 6 minutes!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-15T18:57:36-05:00
Sorry, Geist. I couldn't wait any longer.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T18:57:59-05:00
@BaKhan: See I would have posted a snappy remark to GM's bartender post. It's Friday and I am in a chatty mood.

Less than 200 comments before 100K. Not bad people! Not bad at all.

Hello PoT! Long time, no post
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T19:20:05-05:00
Wow, graced by PoT on top of all of it! How you doin?
`
I'm hungry, but I want to avoid the food rush at 5:30 to 7:30. Dang it, if I'm too lazy to wait in a line, I won't eat for another hour at least! Why must I hate lines?!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-15T19:25:34-05:00
@Trinkets: You could at least share
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T21:49:13-05:00
It got suddenly quiet in here. I guess the drinks did their jobs. Meanwhile I didn't get a drink at chipotle only to remember I have nothing to drink here. I need to go to a store tomorrow.
Powers of Tesla 2016-01-15T22:05:40-05:00
Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been around much, but I've been busy. The house is taking up a lot of time, I'm working on learning a case file for a mock trial next week and I'm trying to get some equipment put together for the barbeque team. How's everyone doin'?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-15T22:52:02-05:00
Hiya PoT! Doing well. Finished making thebackyard kitty shelters. Mild winter so far, so it wasn't urgent. But now there are five new houses for them to stay warm in!
Almost terrifyingly lost Leo. He apparently figured out how to get to window. I opened it (no screen) and went to bathroom. Came out and he was on the outside. I had a HUGE panick attack and grabbed him in time. Makes me sick...if I didn't see him?! :( :(
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T01:38:22-05:00
Oh no. Don't lose the Leo. Must keep teh Kittehs inside. Ours have almost zero interest in going outside. My Stella only will if you leave the front door open while we are talking to our next door neighbor. Space Ghost used to live outside but now she doesn't give a rats ass about the outside world. She does want to sneak into the garage though. Every time we open the door to the garage, she runs over and tries to get in there. But there's nothing of value to her in there that we know of. She just likes to sit in there. Weirdo, lol.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T01:39:11-05:00
Why am I still up?!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T01:39:54-05:00
Ok. Off to sleep. Goodnight Creeper and anyone else who is still awake.
He had an insatiable curiosity for outside. I have to lock him in another room if I go out back. And when I come into the apartment I have to use my purse as a baracade and usher him backwards. Man... Still upset about earlier. Close call. At least he has his kittyconvict collar.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-16T04:06:28-05:00
Of course, just after I gave up on this place.
Wait, this is just a pathway to outside? To the back where you've shown your other kitties? I'd get him acquainted with that place so he knows and likes it, so if he does go off that way, he'll likely stay there. And if he doesn't and disappears, it's as likely that he'll find his way back there as it is someone will find and return him.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-16T07:31:37-05:00
Glad you were able to stop Leo from getting lost. Does he have an indenity chip? That way if he is turned in,the chip would have your contact information in it
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T08:28:44-05:00

Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T10:12:37-05:00
Is this a first? I have been on more today than Zem? I suppose your still sleeping. Some of us are hard at work. Does anyone work Saturdays besides me? Creeper might. Anyone else?
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T10:17:21-05:00
Recap of game night for the fellow board gamers. We played the third Z:BP scenario last night. 4 of our characters died. We still won though. For some reason, we seemed to get really hosed on our search items and spawn cards. Abomination first turn. Ugh.
Second game was a 3 player Clash of Cultures. One of my top 5 games.
Finished second. To me, it seems that 3 player games are less warlike than the 4 player games.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-16T10:32:26-05:00
Howdy Trinkets. Happy Saturday. I got up late and decided to test out the book organizer app that BaKhan recommend. It works great! You scan the bar code and information about the book goes in. Or you can type the info in yourself.
It's a pity that I've boxed up 90% of my book collection before I found this wonderful tool. I'll have to take a weekend and pull out each book to scan it into my phone. Should be loads of fun with some jazz and hot chocolate.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T11:20:17-05:00
That sounds kind of fun. But if it's anything like when I try and organize my man cave, I would be engulfed in some older books I haven't read in a while and never get finished. Or I would be drunk before I would finish. (Need some peppermint schnapps, or Baileys in that hot chocolate)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-16T11:35:48-05:00
Silly Trinkets. Of course I would have some booze in my chocolate. That goes without saying.
Speaking of which, I had a cocktail last night that had apple flavored Crown Royal mixed with cranberry juice and lime. So damn good!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T12:19:58-05:00
Sounds almost as tasty as a whisky cherry sour.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-16T12:37:33-05:00
Whenever I go to the Landmark theater in D.C. I nearly always order a drink called "The International Incident".
It's made with Bailey's, coffee flavor vodka, Frangelico and kahlua. Oh so good. Desert and booze mixed into one
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T14:02:14-05:00
Wow, that does sound good.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T14:03:53-05:00
Well, finally home. Time for a nap and then either paint some minis or make a foamcore insert for the Robinson Crusoe game.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-16T14:17:15-05:00
Enjoy your nap Trinkets. I will be enjoying this warm 50 degree weather.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-16T14:22:53-05:00
So you're the one who traded their weather, Geist! See, today has a high of 34, but it was like 20 yesterday. Perfect! It's getting colder too.
`
Trinkets, I've seen that theory. And so far as I can tell, it's true. Except maybe that speaking english only increases rate of heart attacks. To my knowledge, 100% of everybody dies, just that english is so difficult a language our stress levels are through the roof causing all these heart attacks.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-16T15:58:43-05:00
I swear, the best Christmas shopping is after Christmas
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-16T16:29:52-05:00
Well of course. Then the prices aren't at least 150% the normal one. Shopping for anything but normal basics like food after thanksgiving is a really bad idea.
No chip yet - I just got all the pricing from the Vet- Shots, neutering, chip, etc. I need to budget it all out. The collar does have his name and number on it and I take comfort in the fact that I know a lot of people on this street and they all take care of the backyard kitties - so hopefully someone would be able to spot him.
Zem - I do want to do that. i bought a harness and a leash, and once it's a little warmer and he has his shots, I'm going to walk him around the backyard to familiarize the scents, etc. I don't want him to roam though. A lot of ways for him to get out.
But it definitely gave me a scare. One of those "If i hadn't looked out the window" or "if he jumped down immediately" - it would ahve taken me awhile to realize he was gone. :(:(:(
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-16T17:54:07-05:00
Awwww Creeper! He looks so CUTE! He looks so healthier now that he had put on some weight
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-16T17:57:16-05:00
Gah! The cuteness!
If I'm ever back near that area, I'm going to stop by, but only to see him. He looks better now, and bigger. Dang it, I want somewhere I can have a cat. Maine Coon kitten, specifically. I think I just relate best with those cats; huge, but fluffy and really nice.
he's a little beast. I wish i could understand him sometimes. He doesnt talk much. But just now he came into the living room, sat right in front of me and gave a pathetic meow, and cocked his head.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T19:06:34-05:00
Teh Leo!!!!!!!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T19:08:20-05:00
Zem, I also would like a Maine Coon or a Norwegian Forest cat. Probably leaning towards the NFC. It's a Viking Kitteh! !!!!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-16T19:27:13-05:00
Wow, yeah, he's way bigger now! And look at those ears!
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T20:08:15-05:00
Sorry about the Chiefs, Creeper. I hate the Pats.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T20:08:39-05:00
Go Pack Go!!!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-16T20:52:24-05:00
Packers!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-16T20:59:37-05:00
Well it got cold real fast. I hopped right back into the apartment just as soon as I felt the first chill.
Found some great deals. $.65 Xmas wrapping paper. (Original price $6.99) An ornament that says "He knows when you've been drinking" for $1.99. (Original price $8.00)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-16T21:40:58-05:00
It's going to be 0 at 8 am here. Plenty of snow! I love it! Just went down to get some Canes. It was going to be me, a christian, and a devoutly catholic friend watching one of the most hilarious and heretical movies of all time, the Life of Brian, on the TV in the dorm wing lounge, but the TV was occupied. Aaaw. Well, now I'm going to watch it myself anyways. I hear it was so funny it was banned in Norway! ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-16T23:54:05-05:00
It's so nice here. It's finally a winter wonderland. 8 with snow, just when I gave up hope. Not freezing rain or melting-and-refreezing-into-black-ice, just snow below freezing finally.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T23:57:20-05:00
Gyyyaaahhhh!!!!
Dammit!!!!!
Is it too much to ask for, to have refs not screw the Pack on calls?
That was a great close game. Good for Carson Palmer to get his first playoff win. And Larry Fitzgerald is a great classy player. But the refs need to call stuff when it's there and learn to correctly spot the ball. Ugh.
And I'M OUT OF BEER AND BRANDY!!!!
:'-(
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T23:58:49-05:00
Zem, I probably won't see above 0° until Tuesday afternoon.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-16T23:59:16-05:00
Off to bed. Good night all.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-17T00:07:49-05:00
You're really lucky. We only get below 0 for a short time tomorrow. G'nite.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-17T01:33:09-05:00
Canes II: The Re-canining. I went with my roommate for some good 'ol midnight chicken. There were actually more people there than at 8 today.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-17T01:43:18-05:00
Watched Shaun The Sheep. It was OK. Wallace and Gromet was better
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-17T01:54:19-05:00
Wallace and Gromet are always better.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-17T01:54:36-05:00
Was very depressed about the chiefs not beating the assholes. Saw my friend's band on the LES, ordered a shot of jameson with my beer - ended up being about three shots worth? The bartender felt bad for me. band played. Then we danced. i need to stay awake and hydrate and eat cheese now. Leo and his giant ears are playing at the moment.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-17T02:22:28-05:00
Creeper, maybe this will help cheer you up. It mostly applies to kittens as well.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-17T07:18:51-05:00
Good morning all.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-17T07:36:22-05:00
Morning Trinkets. It's cold outside. I want it to be 50 degrees again
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-17T09:07:03-05:00
Just checked the weather report. We are getting snow this Friday into Saturday. I'm thinking it will be no more than a few inches. No more than 6 inches but that is enough to send folks flocking to the grocery store in droves to buy up every single carton of milk and roll of toilet paper.
I just got my Crock pot so I need to get started making a couple of soups and stews.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-17T14:05:59-05:00
Geist, just listen to what I say about my weather. That's what you'll get in a couple days, apparently. It always matches up. Though you may have more snow.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-17T18:10:22-05:00
Someone can have this sub zero crap! I'm looking at you, Zem. I would have been happy with mid 20's. But noooooooooooo. Someone had to open up their big mouth and want winter to show up. :-P
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-17T18:10:57-05:00
Seahawks lost. Yippie!!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-17T18:26:31-05:00
Sorry, I only have 9 degrees to give, not 20.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-17T18:45:06-05:00
Typical D.C. A little snow falls and people bum rush the store
Powers of Tesla 2016-01-17T19:32:01-05:00
So how is everyone this cold, cold day?
I am making turkey soup with barley for dinner. Utilizing the carcass of our Thanksgiving bird. My first time making turkey soup, I'll let you all know how it turns out.
Powers of Tesla 2016-01-17T19:34:57-05:00
I note we have less than three days to get to 100K comments. We're going to have to step up our game. I fear I have been overly lax of late. I shall endeavour to improve my social intercourse.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-17T20:00:57-05:00
Hello PoT! Let me know how the soup turns out. I am going to try and make Quinoa, chicken and kale soup in my new slow cooker this week since the weather man says we are due for a snow storm this Friday.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-17T20:01:54-05:00
*giggles* You said "intercourse".
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-17T20:10:37-05:00
Hehe. Yeah he did.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-17T20:17:10-05:00
Please don't take the precious (100,000) from me when I'm at classes! Nooo! I called it nearly a year ago!
Powers of Tesla 2016-01-17T21:52:51-05:00
The soup is very good, it'll be better tomorrow and the days to come. I'm putting the remains in the freezer. I am a fan of soup, meat and veggies in flavorful broth usually seems like a winner.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-17T22:20:27-05:00
Good to know PoT. I will have to add that to the list of soups I plan on cooking in my Crock pot.
Okay, off to bed for me. I have to work despite the fact that it is a holiday (one of the reasons why I hate working for a corporation) tomorrow and will have to leave the house early. Night kittens.
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-17T22:42:20-05:00
Good night, Geist. You're not the only one working tomorrow.
And Zem, I can't see the count on my phone unless I slide the screen over. I certainly am not going to be actively trying to get 100,000. If it isn't you, Elan, or one of the other regulars, it'll be someone who pops in and reads the comments but never posts. Or someone who used to post regularly.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-17T22:56:21-05:00
I bet it'll be a "wers my deck?"
Eric 'Trinkets&Nopes' Baumgarten 2016-01-17T23:13:55-05:00
Lol. Probably.
Powers of Tesla 2016-01-17T23:14:09-05:00
Just a heads up for you Zem. I'm gonna be ALL up in that 100K crown race. Ignore me or it at your peril.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-18T00:51:30-05:00
You mean attend class at my own peril? I've been here the most regularly. But wait, it might happen just before the anniversary rather than on it! Oh no!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-18T03:30:17-05:00
Aaw, a race is exactly what I don't want it to be. I don't care if I get it or not if everyone's just going to be spamming. Now PoT is back for the first time in a long time regularly and he's mostly sticking around just for the chance at the lottery.
So yeah, you never thought you'd hear me say it, but I don't care about the 100,000. I care more about the anniversaries. Besides, I'll almost certainly be at class tuesday when it happens. Not only do you guys comment easily 100 on a weekday, most while I'm gone, but my tuesdays are entirely full all day, really busy. I won't even be here all tomorrow.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2016-01-18T03:52:48-05:00
That's sad. I've been dreaming of the big 100,000 since like 30,000 comments, but now I most likely won't even get to see it. I'll only come back to see it happened hours before and someone who only thinks of it as a trivial little fun event and temporary bragging rights will have it. Well, at least it means something to someone else.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-18T07:05:48-05:00

Morning Trinkets. Would you do me a favor and take away the snow storm headed my way this weekend? I don't feel like fighting folks at the grocery store.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2016-01-18T09:52:03-05:00
Good Morning Kittens!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2016-01-18T10:03:43-05:00
Morning BaKhan. Btw, did I tell you how much I love you?
@Zem, except Fess Parker died a few years back, so that one kind of falls through...
GM, what do you need Excel to do?
It's for remitting income withholding. Each one has a case number, some exceeding the 15 character before turning it to scientific format.

Second game was a 3 player Clash of Cultures. One of my top 5 games.
Finished second. To me, it seems that 3 player games are less warlike than the 4 player games.
Howdy Trinkets. Happy Saturday. I got up late and decided to test out the book organizer app that BaKhan recommend. It works great! You scan the bar code and information about the book goes in. Or you can type the info in yourself.
It's a pity that I've boxed up 90% of my book collection before I found this wonderful tool. I'll have to take a weekend and pull out each book to scan it into my phone. Should be loads of fun with some jazz and hot chocolate.
That sounds kind of fun. But if it's anything like when I try and organize my man cave, I would be engulfed in some older books I haven't read in a while and never get finished. Or I would be drunk before I would finish. (Need some peppermint schnapps, or Baileys in that hot chocolate)
Silly Trinkets. Of course I would have some booze in my chocolate. That goes without saying.
Speaking of which, I had a cocktail last night that had apple flavored Crown Royal mixed with cranberry juice and lime. So damn good!
Sounds almost as tasty as a whisky cherry sour.
Whenever I go to the Landmark theater in D.C. I nearly always order a drink called "The International Incident".
It's made with Bailey's, coffee flavor vodka, Frangelico and kahlua. Oh so good. Desert and booze mixed into one
Wow, that does sound good.
Well, finally home. Time for a nap and then either paint some minis or make a foamcore insert for the Robinson Crusoe game.
Enjoy your nap Trinkets. I will be enjoying this warm 50 degree weather.
So you're the one who traded their weather, Geist! See, today has a high of 34, but it was like 20 yesterday. Perfect! It's getting colder too.
`
Trinkets, I've seen that theory. And so far as I can tell, it's true. Except maybe that speaking english only increases rate of heart attacks. To my knowledge, 100% of everybody dies, just that english is so difficult a language our stress levels are through the roof causing all these heart attacks.
I swear, the best Christmas shopping is after Christmas
Well of course. Then the prices aren't at least 150% the normal one. Shopping for anything but normal basics like food after thanksgiving is a really bad idea.
I need happy thoughts for the Chiefs please.
Happy to give them to you even though they are not my team.
How is Leo doing?
@Trinkets- i love your Identity chip!
No chip yet - I just got all the pricing from the Vet- Shots, neutering, chip, etc. I need to budget it all out. The collar does have his name and number on it and I take comfort in the fact that I know a lot of people on this street and they all take care of the backyard kitties - so hopefully someone would be able to spot him.
Zem - I do want to do that. i bought a harness and a leash, and once it's a little warmer and he has his shots, I'm going to walk him around the backyard to familiarize the scents, etc. I don't want him to roam though. A lot of ways for him to get out.
But it definitely gave me a scare. One of those "If i hadn't looked out the window" or "if he jumped down immediately" - it would ahve taken me awhile to realize he was gone. :(:(:(
Look at his one pink jelly bean toe - https://www.dropbox.com/s/844753ewy5vz096/2015-12-19%2002.30.24.jpg…
Awwww Creeper! He looks so CUTE! He looks so healthier now that he had put on some weight
Gah! The cuteness!
If I'm ever back near that area, I'm going to stop by, but only to see him. He looks better now, and bigger. Dang it, I want somewhere I can have a cat. Maine Coon kitten, specifically. I think I just relate best with those cats; huge, but fluffy and really nice.
he's a little beast. I wish i could understand him sometimes. He doesnt talk much. But just now he came into the living room, sat right in front of me and gave a pathetic meow, and cocked his head.

Teh Leo!!!!!!!
Zem, I also would like a Maine Coon or a Norwegian Forest cat. Probably leaning towards the NFC. It's a Viking Kitteh! !!!!!
Wow, yeah, he's way bigger now! And look at those ears!
Sorry about the Chiefs, Creeper. I hate the Pats.
Go Pack Go!!!!
Packers!
Well it got cold real fast. I hopped right back into the apartment just as soon as I felt the first chill.
Found some great deals. $.65 Xmas wrapping paper. (Original price $6.99) An ornament that says "He knows when you've been drinking" for $1.99. (Original price $8.00)
It's going to be 0 at 8 am here. Plenty of snow! I love it! Just went down to get some Canes. It was going to be me, a christian, and a devoutly catholic friend watching one of the most hilarious and heretical movies of all time, the Life of Brian, on the TV in the dorm wing lounge, but the TV was occupied. Aaaw. Well, now I'm going to watch it myself anyways. I hear it was so funny it was banned in Norway! ;)
It's so nice here. It's finally a winter wonderland. 8 with snow, just when I gave up hope. Not freezing rain or melting-and-refreezing-into-black-ice, just snow below freezing finally.
Gyyyaaahhhh!!!!
Dammit!!!!!
Is it too much to ask for, to have refs not screw the Pack on calls?
That was a great close game. Good for Carson Palmer to get his first playoff win. And Larry Fitzgerald is a great classy player. But the refs need to call stuff when it's there and learn to correctly spot the ball. Ugh.
And I'M OUT OF BEER AND BRANDY!!!!
:'-(
Zem, I probably won't see above 0° until Tuesday afternoon.
Off to bed. Good night all.
You're really lucky. We only get below 0 for a short time tomorrow. G'nite.
Canes II: The Re-canining. I went with my roommate for some good 'ol midnight chicken. There were actually more people there than at 8 today.
Watched Shaun The Sheep. It was OK. Wallace and Gromet was better
Wallace and Gromet are always better.
*gromit
Was very depressed about the chiefs not beating the assholes. Saw my friend's band on the LES, ordered a shot of jameson with my beer - ended up being about three shots worth? The bartender felt bad for me. band played. Then we danced. i need to stay awake and hydrate and eat cheese now. Leo and his giant ears are playing at the moment.
Creeper, maybe this will help cheer you up. It mostly applies to kittens as well.
Good morning all.
Morning Trinkets. It's cold outside. I want it to be 50 degrees again
Just checked the weather report. We are getting snow this Friday into Saturday. I'm thinking it will be no more than a few inches. No more than 6 inches but that is enough to send folks flocking to the grocery store in droves to buy up every single carton of milk and roll of toilet paper.
I just got my Crock pot so I need to get started making a couple of soups and stews.
Geist, just listen to what I say about my weather. That's what you'll get in a couple days, apparently. It always matches up. Though you may have more snow.
Someone can have this sub zero crap! I'm looking at you, Zem. I would have been happy with mid 20's. But noooooooooooo. Someone had to open up their big mouth and want winter to show up. :-P
Seahawks lost. Yippie!!
Sorry, I only have 9 degrees to give, not 20.
Typical D.C. A little snow falls and people bum rush the store
So how is everyone this cold, cold day?
I am making turkey soup with barley for dinner. Utilizing the carcass of our Thanksgiving bird. My first time making turkey soup, I'll let you all know how it turns out.
I note we have less than three days to get to 100K comments. We're going to have to step up our game. I fear I have been overly lax of late. I shall endeavour to improve my social intercourse.
Hello PoT! Let me know how the soup turns out. I am going to try and make Quinoa, chicken and kale soup in my new slow cooker this week since the weather man says we are due for a snow storm this Friday.
*giggles* You said "intercourse".
Hehe. Yeah he did.
Please don't take the precious (100,000) from me when I'm at classes! Nooo! I called it nearly a year ago!
The soup is very good, it'll be better tomorrow and the days to come. I'm putting the remains in the freezer. I am a fan of soup, meat and veggies in flavorful broth usually seems like a winner.
Good to know PoT. I will have to add that to the list of soups I plan on cooking in my Crock pot.
Okay, off to bed for me. I have to work despite the fact that it is a holiday (one of the reasons why I hate working for a corporation) tomorrow and will have to leave the house early. Night kittens.
Good night, Geist. You're not the only one working tomorrow.
And Zem, I can't see the count on my phone unless I slide the screen over. I certainly am not going to be actively trying to get 100,000. If it isn't you, Elan, or one of the other regulars, it'll be someone who pops in and reads the comments but never posts. Or someone who used to post regularly.
I bet it'll be a "wers my deck?"
Lol. Probably.
Just a heads up for you Zem. I'm gonna be ALL up in that 100K crown race. Ignore me or it at your peril.
You mean attend class at my own peril? I've been here the most regularly. But wait, it might happen just before the anniversary rather than on it! Oh no!
100k race is going to be fun.
Aaw, a race is exactly what I don't want it to be. I don't care if I get it or not if everyone's just going to be spamming. Now PoT is back for the first time in a long time regularly and he's mostly sticking around just for the chance at the lottery.
So yeah, you never thought you'd hear me say it, but I don't care about the 100,000. I care more about the anniversaries. Besides, I'll almost certainly be at class tuesday when it happens. Not only do you guys comment easily 100 on a weekday, most while I'm gone, but my tuesdays are entirely full all day, really busy. I won't even be here all tomorrow.
That's sad. I've been dreaming of the big 100,000 since like 30,000 comments, but now I most likely won't even get to see it. I'll only come back to see it happened hours before and someone who only thinks of it as a trivial little fun event and temporary bragging rights will have it. Well, at least it means something to someone else.
The best/worse thing about a warm comfortable bed I'd having to get out of it in winter time
Truth!
Good morning Geist.
*is
Jeepers. My phone started early on the peppermint vodka
Morning Trinkets. Would you do me a favor and take away the snow storm headed my way this weekend? I don't feel like fighting folks at the grocery store.
Good Morning Kittens!
Morning BaKhan. Btw, did I tell you how much I love you?
*blushes* awww shucks! Back at you Geist!
