Of course, if you ate too many macarons, I guess you could be wearing them!

DR Edisaurus - great minds!   I was about to post the same thing.

In my case, the proof is in the pudding...literally!    :P

There is no such thing as "too many macarons".

System peformance has slowed to a C-R-A-W-L here at work.

The only thing that seems to be working, amazingly enough, is HHW!  :)

I wonder if one could be related to the other.

BK, re: COLONY

Unless they are going out of business, i'm sure you will get your money eventually. 2 months is not that long (it might feel long for you).

It's annoying.  And if you don't want to sell to them again that is fine.  But sometimes it's overwhelming being in accounts payable when every one is calling and you don't have the money to send (don't know if that is their issue).

Just keep calling. And sending the invoices.

In theory, DR Jennifer, when Colony sold all 20 copies at their "markup", they made the money to not only pay BK but earn a profit.  They sold out, after all, and were requesting 20 more copies.

It's only good business sense to "pay" the supplier when the supplies have been sold.

singdaw, Good morning!  No, just one which is PDXJane.  I do have 2 brothers that start with a "J" though and dad too!  Mom is gone now but she started with a "J" also.  Pretty funny, huh?

I have an interview this morning in about an hour.  *listening to Peggy Lee singing "Is That All There Is?*

Last day of work was yesterday.  Worked just a half day as I still had 12 hours of personal time I hadn't taken and couldn't get paid for.  So today I'm actually getting paid, PTO that is.  Now today I have 2 interviews with temp agencies but they know I'm not interested in anything that isn't temp to hire or direct hire.  *crossing fingers* I was due for a raise so hopefully something more than I was making before.

Or should I carry the theater tickets on me so there's no chance of their getting lost?

FJL, It usually takes me a half hour or so to pack for one day away.  Where are you going again?  What are you going to see?

Going to D.C. to see THE VISIT in Arlington, VA (and perhaps IRMA VEP, also in Arlington).

Weather Forecast for Portland, Oregon:  80 to 85 degrees, zero chance of rain!  Amazing, huh?  Hope the air conditioner keeps working today.

Hot, hot, hot!


Another mosquito interrupted what was, otherwise, a good sleep under AC-cooled conditions.

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!  I HATE MOSQUITOES!

I was up at 3 a.m. and searched high and low for any sign of a mosquito.  I had been bitten twice...once on the arm and once on my back.

When I could not locate the beastie, I had a brainstorm.  I took a bottle of Campho-Phenique (which is rather odoriferous) and dabbed a bit on various points of my body.  I took a chance on that being a deterrent.

It worked.  I slept soundly until the alarm rudely awakened me.

As I was doing my daily ablutions, I spied (in the bathroom mirror) the varmint  hovering over my left shoulder, ready to make a landing.  I smashed that little sucker into oblivion.  And as small as it was, I had a nice reunion with my purloined hemoglobin before washing it off my hands.

Local TV weather guessers had promised us a cooling trend would begin last night.   They were wrong.  

We are, apparently the recipients of a changed weather pattern that now sees the system that has been baking the L.A. basin moving into our area today.

Record highs (of course!) are predicted.  We can't just have a nice summer day....it either has to be one of the coolest on record or one of the hottest.  Nothing but extremes for us!

The fog, they are now saying, should make a token return tomorrow and cool off the coastal communities.  

I'll see it when it happens.

I am confused.

Yes, confused.

Is DR sippystraw, in his first post on this page, telling us that he is -- literally -- wearing macaron pudding today?

I STILL have chocolate cake.

But it won't be here this time tomorrow.

Not at all.


Nosirreebarbarino!

I may have to make a chocolate pie just to avoid depression.

On the previous page, was DR JoseSPiano telling DR singdaw that he (singdaw) is "pastie-faced"?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Would it be redundant for me to ask DR JMK to post the lyric to Percy Faith's "Glass Mountain"?
