@BaKhan: I wish it was a long weekend...but that's next weekend for me.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-17T11:15:30-05:00
@GM, sorry bro! At least you have something to look forward to for next week though!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-17T14:28:52-05:00
Haha... not really. I wish. My roommate is the kind of person who never has to try and rarely gets below an A, but I'm more of the prayer and last-minute kind of student. But still, 4 exams this week, which would have been 5 if one hadn't been moved to next week with at least one other, not to mention all the other stuff I've had this week. I've been busy on top of having way too much to do.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-17T16:30:20-05:00
I was jealous as well, then I remembered I don't like licorice, so I had a chocolate covered coffee bean instead.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-17T16:39:04-05:00
@GM, lol! No doubt, like a fine wine, but delicious! ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-19T14:56:07-05:00
BOO!
`
Sorry, it was getting a bit awkwardly quiet, so I thought I'd scare it up a little. Did I get ya?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-20T01:00:14-05:00
That moment when your computer can barely run a game on the lowest settings, and 2/3 of the time it runs at 1/2 speed at best, but you don't care because it's a great game.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-20T09:44:18-05:00
Wow, still nobody here. Well... in case anyone hazards to drop by, ahoy.
@Zem: It's a holiday here in Alberta. Unfortunately, I need to work it. Thankfully, I get Friday off instead. There likely wont be many, if any, messages coming from us here(I'll be busy running a payroll, and catching up on work stuff while it's only myself and my manager here)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-20T13:05:59-05:00
Afternoon kittens. Sorry for the radio silence. Last week was a BAD week. I managed to piss off two vice presidents and one of my team members. Plus I messed up a foreign payment so I'll have to do the re-journal for all 20 invoices. I was at my lowest point until I decided, in the end, it really isn't that serious. Going forward, I will make sure everything is in writing and I will not stress about it. I'm too old and they don't pay me enough.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-20T13:08:24-05:00
Other than that, the weather has been so freaking wonderful. I was out in it for a bit on Saturday and so didn't want to come indoors.
One of the museums had a special showing of Alien and Aliens in IMAX. It's been ages since I saw it on the big screen. Judging by the audience reaction, Aliens is the more favored movie.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-20T14:30:11-05:00
Wow, sorry for that, Geist. Hopefully now, though, things will move straight back up from there.
Also, in IMAX? That'd be so awesome!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-21T06:00:26-05:00
Morning kittens. Summer like weather predicted for Wednesday and Thursday. I just might have to call in "sick" this week.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-21T09:08:37-05:00
Good Morning kittens!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-21T09:10:59-05:00
Sorry to hear about your struggles Geist! You've got the right attitude though, its only work, and you can fix your mistakes, so in the end, it'll be ok. You know what they say, if life gives you lemons, throw them back! What kind of a gift is lemons anyways! ;P
So...my parents ended up winning a nice haul at a kids hockey tournament. There is roughly $1,500 - $2,000 worth of alcohol(hard stuff mostly - scotch, rum, vodka, whiskey, tequila, gin, bourbon - a few things of beer, and two liqueurs), that all came in a brand new wheelbarrow. For $20 spent...that is a decent haul. And it was all to my surprise as I got home to an empty house last night, and it was all sitting out on the table.
Lord Zombitten 2017-02-21T11:54:39-05:00
So, chemo sucks worse the second time around, when it's at a higher dose
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-21T14:08:33-05:00
*blink*
Hang on a sec GM. You to tell me your parents WON a wheel barrel full of booze? My goodness man. Tell me you at least partook of the bounty! Can you send me some? :-P
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-21T14:09:23-05:00
Hang in there LZ! You'll be through this trial in no time. Remember: you got the will of the KC behind you.
@Geist: Not even sure what they all want to keep for themselves(other than one of the scotches I know my dad has said he's never tried - only because my mom said he should give it to my grandma for her birthday or Christmas and he said no). I'm going to be asking them what is up for grabs in it(there are a few items I may steal away from them if they are available).
@LZ: I definitely hope this gets rid of it. Nothing worse than the treatment making you feel like crap, especially if it isn't guaranteed to always work.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-21T14:44:17-05:00
Summer-like weather? Sounds about right. I've even sweat today! I was doing some very hard walking over a somewhat long distance to not be late for something, but it was warm enough already! Mid-70s today and tomorrow!
I personally can't wait for next week here. It'll cool down to upper-40s to mid-50s. Perfect for me! That may as well be my thermoneutral zone!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-21T14:47:56-05:00
GM... can I come over?
`
LZ, good to see you, though that makes it sound not quite so good. Just think, one day you'll be clean and never have to do this again! Then you can tell grandchildren (other people's, just to annoy them) about that time these evil doctors rounded you up and pumped you full of hazardous chemicals designed to kill parts of you! Those mad scientists...
A wild Creeper sighting! Someone catch her before she esca...too late.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-22T11:54:14-05:00
Howdy kittens.
There was something I wanted to mention last week. When your Justin Trudeau visited our dictator, a picture was taken of him giving Trump the side eye when he held out his hand. That picture was worth a thousand laughs and the memes people made up were priceless.
When Trudeau actually was shown shaking Trump's hand, he did it in such a way that he stopped Trump from jerking him around the way he has done other people. How bleeping cool is that?
I wasn't in love with Trudeau before but I am now. Do you think he'll let me be his American wife?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-22T14:32:22-05:00
51 and rainy, 33 and snowy, and then a full week of upper 30s to mid 50s. Just one more day! It's so hot out! Well, it's 75, and if it were summer, this would be almost icy weather, but for february, it may as well be 90 out!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-22T14:34:59-05:00
Heck, I think we broke the daily heat record 3 times in the past most of a week! I know most people enjoy this, but I like getting out my complaints about unchangeable local weather as well. Actually, mid-70s is nice, but it just feels so hot this time of year! I've actually broken a sweat from the heat, and my room is uncomfortably warm! (which is weird considering how air never seems to come through it when I want it to)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-23T07:03:47-05:00
Morning kittens. 74 degrees today and I think I will force myself to go for a walk at lunch. It would seem like a sin to spend it entirely in the office.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-23T10:42:49-05:00
Geist, from your perspective, enjoy it while it lasts. I just looked, and you got a good 3 days of this stuff before it gets much colder again. Have fun having fun!
`
GM It's Thursday! Yaa....oh. I get to have a major exam and stuff. That's just as fun, right?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-23T10:43:30-05:00
Haha, yeah, enjoy your day off tomorrow, GM. Go see your parents. Abscond with a few dozen bottles of the good stuff. That kind of thing.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-23T17:51:16-05:00
Ugh. I could be hanging out with my brother and seeing Grant Imahara who's coming for whatever reason to my school, but no, gotta have a big, nerve-wracking exam over things I have no clue about. Just this. After this is over, I'm free from anything like it for a couple weeks!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-24T09:14:35-05:00
Morning kittens.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-24T09:41:52-05:00
Way too morning for my taste. At least because I couldn't sleep for like 2 hours, then woke up for most of another hour in the night. Good thing it's friday, right? Or saturday for some of us.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-24T09:51:17-05:00
I heartily agree Zem. Its a rough one this morning for me too. I just get over a cold, and now I have another one! This is like 5 five years worth of colds just this winter! Boo! I think I'm just too run down, taking care of everyone else first, etc. I think I need to just cancel everything I have planned this weekend and get some sleep. On the bright side though, I am meeting a potnential new employeer this afternoon, so maybe good things are on the horizon? Fingers crossed!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-24T10:10:33-05:00
Morning kittens! Happy "I'm going to have a liquid lunch" Friday!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-24T10:11:34-05:00
It's actually kinda creepy that it feels like spring in the middle of winter.
@BaKhan & GM: you can send some of that snow down here. Not ALL of it, thankyouverymuch.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-24T10:27:32-05:00
@Geist, we're in the midst of another snow storm, its falling pretty fast right now. So I'd love to give you some/all of it... ;) God I hate the winter!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-24T11:10:26-05:00
I only like snow when I'm indoors, enjoying a toddy and a book. Traveling in snow is a nightmare and I don't do ice. I've fallen and gotten hurt before so I call out of work when there is a ton of ice on the ground.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-24T14:36:07-05:00
Also snow. Did I mentino it was 77 the day be fore yesterday? Now lots of snow everywhere. Oh boy, snow! Finally! I hope it lasts long enough this time for me to make that facewash video for BaKhan! What? It's going to be well above 40 for the rest of time? It'll all be gone in a day or two? Whoopee.
`
Aslo sleep. Did I mention sleep? I need it. I haven't edited most of the mstakes I made in this comment to show hoss *(how) much I need it. I go sleef now. Sleep. Going. You mean what I know!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-24T14:41:16-05:00
Geist, don't worry, colder and rainy is comeing your way. Well, snow here, but we only get one day of winter. You'll be getting spring weather, most likely.
Oh yeah, Thanks for sending some oru way, BaKhan!
Goddamn, my spelling is atrocious when I'm tryird. Holy-... TIRED! Like really tired. Is it apparent now? I'd better remedy this situration. GAH! Every mistake is like a knife to my eyues! AAAH~ Okay, that's enough. I'll never sleep if I'm theis scared for my life knowing I can actually spell this poorly when I"m this timerd.
Okay, maybe I'll throw up first, then go to sleep. Ow. I'm going to show this comment to my grandkids some day as a cautionary tale.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-26T04:42:29-05:00
Giraffe cam? Never heard of it.
`
Also, Hey, Creeper! Wow, that last sentence was entirely capitalized. How've you been? Sorry the one time I didn't check for 8 full hours was the time you poked your head in.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-26T09:17:51-05:00
Giraffe cam. Heard about it, haven't watched it.
How is Leo doing?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-26T11:02:35-05:00
Ooh, Leo! Good point, Geist! Tell us all about how he's doing!

Howdy BaKhan! How is it in the land of snow, ice and bacon brittle?
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-27T09:42:32-05:00
Snowy, icy, and brittle?
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-27T09:59:33-05:00
@Geist, lol! Lots of snow and ice, not so much MBB... ;) Starting to feel better, still at the tail end of this cold and pretty frustrated with it tbh. My biggest concern is my wife right now. She has had the worst migraines ever this year, they are quite debilatating and none of the normal migraine meds are working for her. She even got the injectable and all it did was give her 5 hours reprieve. :( She thinks that she has it figured out and theres a proceedure that she's going to get to help with them. Hopefully she doesn't have to wait the full two weeks that they told her she had to wait!
What is the point of having a damned day off if nothing is covered while I'm off?
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-27T11:54:09-05:00
@BaKhan: I can't stand headaches. I am such a wimp even when I get mild ones. One of the drawbacks of too much drinking the night before.
Tell Misty she has my wishes that she gets better real soon.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-27T11:54:31-05:00
@GM: Isn't that your jobs way of saying that they can't do without you?
Eric 'Drinkets' Baumgarten 2017-02-27T12:00:32-05:00
Good morning all. Sorry I haven't been on recently. I have the hugest news. I found my birth family. I have 2 sisters and one brother who are full-blooded. Parents got married then divorced, but had my 3 siblings while they were married. I have met birth mother and my siblings this last week. Meeting birth father today. Absolutely unreal, amazing, surreal, fantastic,........just wow.
@Geist: Problem is, how am I supposed to have a nice relaxing vacation(stay-cation more likely since I am not going to have money to travel) and come back and be relaxed, if I come back to 40+ emails(that was just ONE day off mind you...not a whole week or anything). Most of them, the response from my manager(who was "covering" for me) "Owen will handle it when he gets back on Monday"....yup, definitely not paid enough for this crap. Hell, the one item she did do while I was off, I had to set up for her to be able to do...and she still didn't do it as it should have been(off-cycle to adjust for incorrect rate, should have been direct deposited into the guys account, wasn't).
@Drinkets: As long as there is no negative drama, that is awesome news.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-27T12:28:39-05:00
@Geist, well the good news is, she was able to get in this morning for the proceedure, and now she can start the healing process from this 4 month long migraine! Thank god!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-27T12:30:13-05:00
@Tinkets, that is so awesome man! I am very happy for you! Your family just got a lot bigger! ;) I remember finding out I had an older half sister, how much awesome that was, how cool it was to get to meet her, and how it made me feel more complete getting to know her! Congrats bro, may it bring you much happiness!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-27T13:09:04-05:00
Way to go Trinkets! May you get along well with your new found family!
Eric 'Drinkets' Baumgarten 2017-02-27T13:15:44-05:00
Thanks!! Everyone is great. They have all known about me and have been looking for me for years. This has gone better than I have ever could have hoped for. And from what everyone in the family is saying, they are all really really happy and excited.
Eric 'Drinkets' Baumgarten 2017-02-27T13:17:02-05:00
It feels so normal being with them. Not nervous or anxious or anything. Just really normal. Like I have always known them.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-27T14:13:15-05:00
@Trinkets, I totally get that, meeting my sister for the first time, felt that same way. Kinda like, where the heck have you been all my life!? ;) Again, so happy for you!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-27T14:27:58-05:00
@Trinkets: makes me wish I was adopted. My family is cray cray.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-27T14:37:57-05:00
"Absolutely unreal, amazing, surreal, fantastic,........just wow."
Uh oh, the shock is so much for poor Trinkets that he's turning into Doge! Such family! Much happy! Very wow!
Congratulations, though, man! That's incredible news, and I hope that over time you all just grow closer together and get to know eachother!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-28T06:38:14-05:00
So we finally have plans for our next vacation! Starting May 20th we're headed off to Florida! We're spending a day at Disney, then getting on a cruise (not Disney, too Expen$ive) for a week, stops in Jamaica, St. Martin, and one other place (can't remember right now), then back to Disney for another six days! Whoo hoo! Its been so long! I can't wait!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-28T14:34:59-05:00
Don't like the taste of scotch either
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-28T14:52:49-05:00
Hmmm... love licorice, hate scotch... what can a guy do? ;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-28T14:53:36-05:00
@Geist, there will always be Disney! ;) Seriously, next time we're heading down for the halloween celebrations, you have to come!
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-28T15:12:40-05:00
Üw, Disney? I mean, I'd really, really, REALLY love to, but there's no way I'd have that kind of money. How about Nebraska? There's plenty to do there, right? I think that sounds great! The next one should be there! Loads of activities to do in Nebraska! Like... um.............
;)
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-28T15:18:38-05:00
Maybe we should start a go fund me page? ;)
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-28T15:28:49-05:00
@BaKhan: A Halloween Kitten Con in Florida for sure! Just let me know and I'll start packing!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-02-28T17:27:39-05:00
@Geist, I don't know when tbh, I know that next year we are planning on doing it in California and we're bringing our friend Mike (if he's healthy enough to travel anyways). And if you wanted to come along, that would be just fine with me! The more the merrier! Now trying to round up the rest of the kittens for a trip like that, would be more than I can handle! I will offer to help though!
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2017-02-28T18:29:38-05:00
@BaKhan: California sounds nice. I should have my car by then.
Count me in!
And we should totally do a cruise Kitten Con. Maybe we can cruise to where Ex-Prez lives.
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-02-28T20:50:12-05:00
A gofundme? That might be the only way I can 100% for sure make it to any of these. Though I tried SO HARD to make it to Canada! I was right there! And then at the last second before it became actually hard to change plans, my brother found out he couldn't go with me and, well, LZ found out why he couldn't go at that same exact time, so unless I also wanted to drive 2 days straight alone each way, I couldn't. So close, though!

@Geist, thats great, I'd love to hang in Cali with you! We would have so much silly fun, your smiley face will be so sore! ;) So much to see and do! I think that there are at least three different theme park halloween event going. Disney (of course!), Universal, and Knottsberry farms (Knotts Scary farm!). Oh the fun we will have, oh and laughing at my wife's terror, of course! ;) Muahahahahaha!
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-03-01T09:15:57-05:00
@Zem, it'll happen bro! Don't worry! We'll figure out a way, all us kittens got to get together so we can use our shared brain cell! ;)
Micah "Zem the Mattress" Philson 2017-03-01T09:44:39-05:00
Worlds of Fun also does Halloween, and I've heard it's pretty good as well. Plus, closer to me, but I'm not much for horror stuff.
Rod "BaKhan" Mitchell 2017-03-01T09:49:14-05:00
@Zem, that challange there, for me at least is my wife. She loves the ocean, and pretty much all our trips have an ocean element to them (which is fine by me) and Disney of course... Depends though, I might be able to convince her, you never know!
Morning kittens.
@BaKhan: I wish it was a long weekend...but that's next weekend for me.
@GM, sorry bro! At least you have something to look forward to for next week though!
Haha... not really. I wish. My roommate is the kind of person who never has to try and rarely gets below an A, but I'm more of the prayer and last-minute kind of student. But still, 4 exams this week, which would have been 5 if one hadn't been moved to next week with at least one other, not to mention all the other stuff I've had this week. I've been busy on top of having way too much to do.
Oh wow...I forgot I had the licorice cigars still(last two)...might as well enjoy one while going through all this paperwork.
@GM, I was totally jealous for a second there, and then I remembered my secret stash of licorice mini jaw breakers! Whoo hoo! Licorice ftw!
@BaKhan: I can't remember exactly when I got them, just that it was when Phil and I went to the Delta hotel in Kananaskis...so at least 2 years ago.
@GM, even stale licorice is still licorice and therefore, still a win! ;)
Not stale, properly aged.
I was jealous as well, then I remembered I don't like licorice, so I had a chocolate covered coffee bean instead.
@GM, lol! No doubt, like a fine wine, but delicious! ;)
BOO!

Afternoon kittens. Sorry for the radio silence. Last week was a BAD week. I managed to piss off two vice presidents and one of my team members.

Morning kittens.
So...my parents ended up winning a nice haul at a kids hockey tournament. There is roughly $1,500 - $2,000 worth of alcohol(hard stuff mostly - scotch, rum, vodka, whiskey, tequila, gin, bourbon - a few things of beer, and two liqueurs), that all came in a brand new wheelbarrow. For $20 spent...that is a decent haul. And it was all to my surprise as I got home to an empty house last night, and it was all sitting out on the table.
So, chemo sucks worse the second time around, when it's at a higher dose

Then you can tell grandchildren (other people's, just to annoy them) about that time these evil doctors rounded you up and pumped you full of hazardous chemicals designed to kill parts of you! Those mad scientists...
*meow*
Good morning kittens.
Morning kittens.
A wild Creeper sighting! Someone catch her before she esca...too late.
Howdy kittens.
There was something I wanted to mention last week. When your Justin Trudeau visited our dictator, a picture was taken of him giving Trump the side eye when he held out his hand. That picture was worth a thousand laughs and the memes people made up were priceless.
When Trudeau actually was shown shaking Trump's hand, he did it in such a way that he stopped Trump from jerking him around the way he has done other people. How bleeping cool is that?
I wasn't in love with Trudeau before but I am now. Do you think he'll let me be his American wife?
51 and rainy, 33 and snowy, and then a full week of upper 30s to mid 50s. Just one more day! It's so hot out! Well, it's 75, and if it were summer, this would be almost icy weather, but for february, it may as well be 90 out!
Heck, I think we broke the daily heat record 3 times in the past most of a week! I know most people enjoy this, but I like getting out my complaints about unchangeable local weather as well. Actually, mid-70s is nice, but it just feels so hot this time of year! I've actually broken a sweat from the heat, and my room is uncomfortably warm! (which is weird considering how air never seems to come through it when I want it to)
Morning kittens. 74 degrees today and I think I will force myself to go for a walk at lunch. It would seem like a sin to spend it entirely in the office.
Morning Kittens.
Morning kittens.
It's Friday! YAY!
@GM, congrats man! Enjoy your day tomorrow!
Geist, from your perspective, enjoy it while it lasts. I just looked, and you got a good 3 days of this stuff before it gets much colder again. Have fun having fun!
`
GM It's Thursday! Yaa....oh. I get to have a major exam and stuff. That's just as fun, right?
Haha, yeah, enjoy your day off tomorrow, GM. Go see your parents. Abscond with a few dozen bottles of the good stuff. That kind of thing.
Ugh. I could be hanging out with my brother and seeing Grant Imahara who's coming for whatever reason to my school, but no, gotta have a big, nerve-wracking exam over things I have no clue about. Just this. After this is over, I'm free from anything like it for a couple weeks!
Morning kittens.
Way too morning for my taste. At least because I couldn't sleep for like 2 hours, then woke up for most of another hour in the night. Good thing it's friday, right? Or saturday for some of us.
I heartily agree Zem. Its a rough one this morning for me too. I just get over a cold, and now I have another one! This is like 5 five years worth of colds just this winter! Boo! I think I'm just too run down, taking care of everyone else first, etc. I think I need to just cancel everything I have planned this weekend and get some sleep. On the bright side though, I am meeting a potnential new employeer this afternoon, so maybe good things are on the horizon? Fingers crossed!
Morning kittens! Happy "I'm going to have a liquid lunch" Friday!
It's actually kinda creepy that it feels like spring in the middle of winter.
@BaKhan & GM: you can send some of that snow down here. Not ALL of it, thankyouverymuch.
@Geist, we're in the midst of another snow storm, its falling pretty fast right now. So I'd love to give you some/all of it... ;) God I hate the winter!
I only like snow when I'm indoors, enjoying a toddy and a book. Traveling in snow is a nightmare and I don't do ice. I've fallen and gotten hurt before so I call out of work when there is a ton of ice on the ground.
Also snow. Did I mentino it was 77 the day be fore yesterday? Now lots of snow everywhere. Oh boy, snow! Finally! I hope it lasts long enough this time for me to make that facewash video for BaKhan! What? It's going to be well above 40 for the rest of time? It'll all be gone in a day or two? Whoopee.
`
Aslo sleep. Did I mention sleep? I need it. I haven't edited most of the mstakes I made in this comment to show hoss *(how) much I need it. I go sleef now. Sleep. Going. You mean what I know!
Geist, don't worry, colder and rainy is comeing your way. Well, snow here, but we only get one day of winter. You'll be getting spring weather, most likely.
Oh yeah, Thanks for sending some oru way, BaKhan!
Goddamn, my spelling is atrocious when I'm tryird. Holy-... TIRED! Like really tired. Is it apparent now? I'd better remedy this situration. GAH! Every mistake is like a knife to my eyues! AAAH~ Okay, that's enough. I'll never sleep if I'm theis scared for my life knowing I can actually spell this poorly when I"m this timerd.
Okay, maybe I'll throw up first, then go to sleep. Ow. I'm going to show this comment to my grandkids some day as a cautionary tale.
Anyone else addicted to the Giraffe cam?
Giraffe cam? Never heard of it.
`
Also, Hey, Creeper! Wow, that last sentence was entirely capitalized. How've you been? Sorry the one time I didn't check for 8 full hours was the time you poked your head in.
Giraffe cam. Heard about it, haven't watched it.
How is Leo doing?
Ooh, Leo! Good point, Geist! Tell us all about how he's doing!
Morning kittens
Morning kittens.
Howdy BaKhan! How is it in the land of snow, ice and bacon brittle?
Snowy, icy, and brittle?
@Geist, lol! Lots of snow and ice, not so much MBB... ;) Starting to feel better, still at the tail end of this cold and pretty frustrated with it tbh. My biggest concern is my wife right now. She has had the worst migraines ever this year, they are quite debilatating and none of the normal migraine meds are working for her. She even got the injectable and all it did was give her 5 hours reprieve. :( She thinks that she has it figured out and theres a proceedure that she's going to get to help with them. Hopefully she doesn't have to wait the full two weeks that they told her she had to wait!
What is the point of having a damned day off if nothing is covered while I'm off?
@BaKhan: I can't stand headaches. I am such a wimp even when I get mild ones. One of the drawbacks of too much drinking the night before.
Tell Misty she has my wishes that she gets better real soon.
@GM: Isn't that your jobs way of saying that they can't do without you?
Good morning all. Sorry I haven't been on recently. I have the hugest news. I found my birth family. I have 2 sisters and one brother who are full-blooded. Parents got married then divorced, but had my 3 siblings while they were married. I have met birth mother and my siblings this last week. Meeting birth father today. Absolutely unreal, amazing, surreal, fantastic,........just wow.
@Geist: Problem is, how am I supposed to have a nice relaxing vacation(stay-cation more likely since I am not going to have money to travel) and come back and be relaxed, if I come back to 40+ emails(that was just ONE day off mind you...not a whole week or anything). Most of them, the response from my manager(who was "covering" for me) "Owen will handle it when he gets back on Monday"....yup, definitely not paid enough for this crap. Hell, the one item she did do while I was off, I had to set up for her to be able to do...and she still didn't do it as it should have been(off-cycle to adjust for incorrect rate, should have been direct deposited into the guys account, wasn't).
@Drinkets: As long as there is no negative drama, that is awesome news.
@Geist, well the good news is, she was able to get in this morning for the proceedure, and now she can start the healing process from this 4 month long migraine! Thank god!
@Tinkets, that is so awesome man! I am very happy for you! Your family just got a lot bigger! ;) I remember finding out I had an older half sister, how much awesome that was, how cool it was to get to meet her, and how it made me feel more complete getting to know her! Congrats bro, may it bring you much happiness!
Way to go Trinkets! May you get along well with your new found family!
Thanks!! Everyone is great. They have all known about me and have been looking for me for years. This has gone better than I have ever could have hoped for. And from what everyone in the family is saying, they are all really really happy and excited.
It feels so normal being with them. Not nervous or anxious or anything. Just really normal. Like I have always known them.
@Trinkets, I totally get that, meeting my sister for the first time, felt that same way. Kinda like, where the heck have you been all my life!? ;) Again, so happy for you!
@Trinkets: makes me wish I was adopted. My family is cray cray.
"Absolutely unreal, amazing, surreal, fantastic,........just wow."
Uh oh, the shock is so much for poor Trinkets that he's turning into Doge! Such family! Much happy! Very wow!
Congratulations, though, man! That's incredible news, and I hope that over time you all just grow closer together and get to know eachother!

Morning kittens!
Morning kittens,
So we finally have plans for our next vacation! Starting May 20th we're headed off to Florida! We're spending a day at Disney, then getting on a cruise (not Disney, too Expen$ive) for a week, stops in Jamaica, St. Martin, and one other place (can't remember right now), then back to Disney for another six days! Whoo hoo! Its been so long! I can't wait!
@BaKhan: That should be fun. Don't pay attention if your luggage suddenly has another case...that is big enough to fit someone who is 6'4". >.>
@GM, we should totally plan a Kitten Cruise! That'd be a great get together!
GM, I can hear the crew now. "Wow, why is this person hauling 3 cellos on board? And why are they so unevenly weighted? Did that one just go "ow"?!"
@Bakhan: Awwww. I was hoping the KC would all go with you guys to Disney.
Nothing quite like the clean, crisp, snap of a licorice cigar.
Licorice=gross
Licorice, just like scotch, is an acquired taste.
Don't like the taste of scotch either
Hmmm... love licorice, hate scotch... what can a guy do? ;)
@Geist, there will always be Disney! ;) Seriously, next time we're heading down for the halloween celebrations, you have to come!
Üw, Disney? I mean, I'd really, really, REALLY love to, but there's no way I'd have that kind of money. How about Nebraska? There's plenty to do there, right? I think that sounds great! The next one should be there! Loads of activities to do in Nebraska! Like... um.............
;)
Maybe we should start a go fund me page? ;)
@BaKhan: A Halloween Kitten Con in Florida for sure! Just let me know and I'll start packing!
@Geist, I don't know when tbh, I know that next year we are planning on doing it in California and we're bringing our friend Mike (if he's healthy enough to travel anyways). And if you wanted to come along, that would be just fine with me! The more the merrier! Now trying to round up the rest of the kittens for a trip like that, would be more than I can handle! I will offer to help though!
@BaKhan: California sounds nice. I should have my car by then.
Count me in!
And we should totally do a cruise Kitten Con. Maybe we can cruise to where Ex-Prez lives.
A gofundme? That might be the only way I can 100% for sure make it to any of these. Though I tried SO HARD to make it to Canada! I was right there! And then at the last second before it became actually hard to change plans, my brother found out he couldn't go with me and, well, LZ found out why he couldn't go at that same exact time, so unless I also wanted to drive 2 days straight alone each way, I couldn't. So close, though!
Morning kittens
Morning kittens!
@Geist, thats great, I'd love to hang in Cali with you! We would have so much silly fun, your smiley face will be so sore! ;) So much to see and do! I think that there are at least three different theme park halloween event going. Disney (of course!), Universal, and Knottsberry farms (Knotts Scary farm!). Oh the fun we will have, oh and laughing at my wife's terror, of course! ;) Muahahahahaha!
@Zem, it'll happen bro! Don't worry! We'll figure out a way, all us kittens got to get together so we can use our shared brain cell! ;)
Worlds of Fun also does Halloween, and I've heard it's pretty good as well. Plus, closer to me, but I'm not much for horror stuff.
@Zem, that challange there, for me at least is my wife. She loves the ocean, and pretty much all our trips have an ocean element to them (which is fine by me) and Disney of course... Depends though, I might be able to convince her, you never know!
