Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

DAMNIT, @cyrocksmypants , they had to go and give us another day to file returns. I would have been cruising to completion now and taking tomorrow off. Now, I've got most everything done, but I'll have to come in tomorrow to finish up some stragglers that I could otherwise have extended. ANOTHER day, my friend.

We are prophets.

this thread has been predicting my pregnancy for at least the last three years. Eventually, even a blind squirrel found a nut!

Interesting choice of words...

Of course, we didn't predict who the baby daddy was....

I don’t think we’ll be busy at all. States didn’t extend. It’s just devastating because I’d pumped myself up emotionally for four months that this was it and now I’ve got to turn around and do it for one more day.

Exactly. A bit different in Iowa because Iowa due date is April 30.

So @cowgirl836 is a free woman again! And with child! This is certainly a bright ray of sunshine on what is undoubtedly a piece of **** day. We are glad you're back, the reverse cowgirl comments were getting out of hand.

Heavy rain at about 4:30 this morning, so I'm thinking everything is going to be coated with ice on the way to work. But no, there's a thin blanket of.....what? Not sleet, not really snow, just some crusty white crap.

And driving to work, there is lightning all over the place. Some weird stuff going on.

Just noticed this. Did Boxster and Woo have a baby?

Not that I know of...

I have never tried (no do I desire to try) lutefisk, but I must admit I do like pickled herring from time to time and I'm sure many people wonder why.

My in-laws and wife love lutefisk. I tried a bite once and was VERY disappointed.

Lawman and pants are in jail for falsifying tax returns. KC is trying to cross dead singers with native animals. Booster became a garbage man, JC is sending his oldest to Iowa. Birdy is feeding RTTers with treats on her porch. There’s some basics.

Oh yeah, hari has some awful taste in music. And WX still loves some cargo shorts.

And the yellow jackets thread was rebooted -- you had some very good info in that, Cowgirl.

I like the avatars, btw.

I'm not sure I'm giving mine up. I kind of like it and it's been a conversation piece when people in other threads ask about it.

Also, congrats! You'll be a great mom.

My news isn't as cool as cowgirl's, but I did accept a new job at ISU.

That's awesome! Can you pull some strings with the financial aid department? If you cut us a sweet package I could probably talk some sense into my daughter.

 

[oldman]

Do you know how flippin' hard it was to keep my big trap shut on here since you announced it on FB? It was certainly difficult for me, especially with the convo going on as soon as people became aware of your CF vacation.



IKEA originated in Sweden.

BTW Sara, I heard Homemakers advertising for employees.

My maths:

It checks out...

We're telling her Rassmussen College. She can continue to live at home and ride her bike to work or her brother could swing by and drop her off and pick her up on his way to and from high school.

Congrats @cowgirl836 exciting and fun times ahead for you. In a few years you can take over the kid sports talk from birdy and I.

Just a heads up. You will not need to lick the child clean after birth.

Don't they talk cost at all these meetings they send you to now? I'm amazed at how campus visits have changed. Back when I decided on ISU, I just went down myself and wandered around campus till I figured out where I was supposed to be. Had a campus map and the building, floor and person, just went and found it.

Times have changed. Everybody visits colleges beforehand now and not just to stay with friends or siblings and drink. It's like they take education seriously now.

They do talk cost but we don't plan on paying anywhere near the sticker price at any school.

A local weather lady said this weather is like your drunk wife not wanting to leave the party.

Just got my post prom work assignment. My work at the Iowa state center must have been legendary since I get a job I had done there before. I get to guard a locked door.

I know the kids can’t drink, but the parents can can’t we. I still have my bota from college I believe.

A bota's too conspicuous these days.

That's a terrific weather lady.
