No, wait, AC, if you put your hash browns in the toaster, don't they fall through to the counter? Do they pop up when the timer sends the slats up, or do they crumble and then fall through to the counter?

These are those Ore-Ida toaster hash brown things. They are like a thick patty. Not nearly as good as homemade hash browns, but a lot less trouble.

*yawn*

Morning, house of Breakfast Foods!

AC, can you chuck a couple of hash browns down to Australia?

alleycat · Feb 18, 2011

I'll put 'em in the post. Along with a case of Jack Daniel's, the Tennessee Treat.

ac don't you need glasses to read? :roll:

It's raining hard here. I'm trying to decide whether to do something constructive this evening like write or whether to do nuffing. Any thoughts?

alleycat · Feb 18, 2011

Actually, I wear glasses when I'm using the office computer and while driving. Otherwise I don't. But reading is becoming a problem. I'm not quite comfortable reading with glasses or without now. I tried an extra pair of just reading glasses, but that didn't quite work either. I know you were only talking about the reading cat.

I suggest a little reading for inspiration, then nuffing.

Hey, funners!

I woke up to a miracle today. My son (who has recently left public school to do an online program) cleaned the entire house while I was asleep. Floors, dusting, dishes, laundry...he even ran the kids shower curtain through the wash and then hung it back up. I'm fairly certain that the child sitting in my living room now is not actually my son. He's an imposter. I'm not complaining though.

When I asked why he did all of that he said, "Because you told me to to something productive with my time." <--Proof that said child is an alien clone. My real son never remembers anything I tell him.

Oh dear. I believe the fairies have stolen your child and replaced him with a damn...I can't remember what they left. Ah. Changeling. Apparently, it was a change for the better?

My brother and I would occasionally do something like that. I remember us spending most of a Saturday cutting up and removing a dead apple tree one time when our parents were away (we hadn't been told or asked to). And the funny thing is I don't think we did it just to get a pat on the back or a reward.

I guess maybe once every two years we realized our parents worked hard to provide for us and we wanted to give something back.

Of course, the next day we would set fire to something. Hey, they couldn't expect us to be nice FOREVER.

Caitlin Black · Feb 18, 2011

You could've saved yourself some time if you'd combined days, AC - set fire to the apple tree.

alleycat · Feb 18, 2011

Trust me, we didn't need any suggestions to get into trouble.

Caitlin Black · Feb 18, 2011

I was actually a very docile child. I hardly ever got into trouble.

*prim and proper*

Caitlin Black · Feb 18, 2011

But then, it's always the quiet ones you've got to watch out for.

I'm doing 5. and 6. right now.

I actually enjoy doing laundry. Find it relaxing for some reason. It's also a good excuse to sit with a book for a bit if I go to the laundry mat instead of doing it here.

*hugs* That's why I wear headphones and listen to the radio all day at work. No office drama to hear.

Evenin' Aussie. Hash browns are ridiculously good. They're like little pieces of potato crack.

My mood tonight says nuffing, even though I should be encouraging you to write. Can't you do both? Just take turns between writing and relaxin'.

I know no one is actually going to believe this, but when my mother was a nurse she once slipped on a wet floor and hurt/broke her leg. I cooked dinner for about two months.

Really. I did.

Really.

*crickets*

Duchessmary · Feb 18, 2011

Yeah but what did you cook, ac? Tuna surprise in a can???

I've actually done a rough outline, reviewed my drivel and now I think I might write.
