went to Mama T-B.'s

Mama T-B. provided fast-food newspaper coupons for us, know us since she met us senior she man.

We groused that they were solely for Jack In The Box, grouse we man.

Mama T-B. said, "There's another one in there, see man."

We noticed with delight that it was for Subway, about time man!

We then went through the recycle bins by the mailroom and found Many more, jackpot man.  :dance: 

A resident simultaneously collecting her own mail gave us hers, generous senior she man.

 

Rant #1, see man:  Why did the largely casa-bound seniors get Subway coupons in their newspaper inserts when we regular patrons did not, huh and :ranting: man?

 

Rant #2, see man:  As previously ranted, all (meaning ALL) fast-food purveyors need to coordinate their efforts and include their coupons in one weekly insert, si and :ranting: man.

Oh, they were good when they were mom-food too (when we were kids we usually had Thanksgiving with mom's family, with most or all of her many -- 2*2*2+2 -- siblings, their spouses, and so many of my many cousins -- not really sure how many, but there were a lot even if the youngest of them weren't around yet; every family brought something so there was quite a lot of food even given the number of people eating).

Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

Supposed to be dangerous weather, but mostly it merely monsooned, How Dry We Aren't man.

 

Lunch was the penultimate chicken pot pie from Costco, ingest we man.

 

A nice siesta was had, zzz we man.

Toward end of siesta, miu climbed onto bed, What Is Daddy Doing man.

Miu sacked out on back, exposing fluffy tummy, expose underbelly miu man.

When dogs do this, one knows exactly what they want, si man.

When mius do this, one risks having one's arm clawed off, look but hands off man.

This time, miu permitted unlimited rub-tummying, softest fur ever man.

Nothing compares to the tummy-fur of a fluffy miu, unparalleled man.

 

Left casa early to await Mini-B.'s deskooling, monsooning heavily man.

Others had the same idea, :bonk: man.

 

Called Mama T-B. while waiting, call senior she man we man man.

Mama T-B. described urgent blood-pressure Rx supposedly ready at Walgreens, necessary man.

We tried unsuccessfully to phone-confirm its availability, :ranting: man.

Agreed to up-pick it after up-picking Mini-B., agree we man.

 

Mini-B. in usual sunny mood after skool, :ranting: wee man man.

We put a stop to that, Grandma needs help man.

 

T-B.-mobiled in the rain & skool zones to Walgreens, hope we man.

Walgreens claimed that the Rx was for tomorrow, :ranting:  :girlwerewolf2xn:  :bonk:  man.

We raised a righteous stink, restrain ourself man.

Finally got away from those idiots with Rx in hand, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

Mini-B. ran it up to Mama T-B., grateful senior she man.

We will see if Mama T-B. reacts poorly to this Rx, too, adverse reactions to everything man.

 

Din-din was salad with tomatoes/croutons and hot dogs, ingest Two Guys man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. would never consider hot dogs to be an acceptable entree, conclude Two Guys man.

 

Ordered Mini-B. to check for hoamwurk, good thing man.

Non-P-Math hoamwurk due Manycember 1, tomorrow man.

Mini-B. got Many (2x2x2 +2+1) of Many (2x2x2 +2+2+1) correct, passing score man.

Mini-B. now playing V.R., vocally animated wee man man.

 

We are eyeing at least Many (2+1) ESs for Friday, partial itinerary man.

There may be a Many'th (2+2th) if we want to go to Favorite Non-Small Town, unclear man.

Stay on the edge of your seat until we decide, 🥁 roll man.

 

Party with the rubias later, cavort we man.

Our 16 year old Maltese gets her twice daily pills in peanut better, and LOVES it.

Peanut butter worked well until one day he realized and then became suspicious of any further attempts. Thankfully he's addicted to cheese. 🤪

Rant #1, see man:  Why did the largely casa-bound seniors get Subway coupons in their newspaper inserts when we regular patrons did not, huh and :ranting: man?

It's a ploy to ensure that the regular patrons visit their senior citizen family members to go acquire the coupons!

True story.  I am allowed to touch and rub the belly of the boy cat.  The girl cat - no chance, not ever.  That's an invitation to a shredding event.

How's your acorn situation?  I think we're finally nearly rid of acorns being flung at our heads every time we go outside.

Cream cheese works a treat.  The vet gave me that tip.  Doggo can't smell it and thinks it's a treat.  Another option if regular cheese quits working.

Well, they didn't make it to Dec 9.  

 

After a few prenatal health episodes, the girls were born 2:29am and 2:30am on Sunday the 26th.  All are doing well.  

 

Both of my kids have two girls, and my wife's daughter has two boys.  They all say they are done procreating.  

Congratulations. Good amount of time for twins.

So, if the P-math computes, you are the ancestor of precisely Many descendants, si man.

Let dog out last night. It was very cold but he was bundled up. Nevertheless the old guy was in a rush to get back inside and wasn't paying attention. I hear screaming and yelping, and I'm like what on earth? Oh my gosh, so much blood everywhere. He'd somehow managed to get his toe wedged into the deck and proceeded to rip his nail straight off. There's nothing left.

 

Many panicked moments of trying to get the kwik-stop to slow the bleeding and wrapping it in a bandage. By this point the dog has just shut down and isn't making any more noise - like he's in shock or something. I'm really not sure what to do, so we head over to the emergency vet. After an hour a tech looks at the foot and seems in awe then tells us it will be many many hours to be seen properly. We wait three, and ask any closer? Nope. By this time the dog is exhausted and we're exhausted so we decide to rewrap the foot as best we can until I can ring our vet in the morning. And by the time we get back home it's 2am.

 

Our vet says we did a great job and that's about all we can do for it. Sent us on our way with antibiotics and pain pills. Poor little guy still seems mortified.

Poor baby. 

I always stuff pills in hotdogs. My dogs don't stop long enough to chew it. It goes straight down in one shot.
