It needs nuking for 1 minute + half a minute, why should we bother air-frying it mam ma'am ma'am?

Nuking can make is soggy; air fryer keeps it more crispy.

But it's not included in nukable breakfast foods, no and sigh Y ma'am.

There are, but they do tend to cost a bit more.  Aldi should have something.

Whatever ex-Mrs.-T-B. "cooks," si and sigh and  we man.  E.g., he likes her French toast, si and sigh man.

Any chance she can make extra and you toss it into the fridge or freezer?  We do that with bacon buttermilk waffles.  Yeah, fresh is better but beggars can't be choosers.  French toast is really easy, though.

We have never seen so much white lint, white Lenox towels man.

I just washed the linen curtains from the livingroom and the lint was insane...I had no idea they could lint like that!

Miu absolutely ultra-aysheep all day, hyperactive miu man.

That was Monty on Friday.  He had a BAD case of the zoomies.  I have a picture of him coming down his cat wall with his favorite toy (a folded, looped pipe cleaner).  Total nutjob.

Yep, the cheap Chinese disposal that I put in during Covid is now shot.

Disposals are such an American thing.  We took ours out when the kids were little.  I have a sink with a drain basket and when it needs emptied, the compost bin is right next to the sink.

Seems her cheap British husband doesn't want to turn the heat on in the house, and it's been COLD here.

Brits typically function between 58°f and 73°f.  Anything outside of that, they cry about it.  It's pretty amazing that he's in FL, all things considered.  Thankfully, my Brit is conditioned to not melt in anything above 70°f so he doesn't whinge about it when I need the heat on.

Sounds like the loser Matthew on the last 90 Day the other way series! 

 

Full moon last night.  Weather should let up.  I'm kinda sad...I'm not ready for 85°+ weather yet.  I'm good with staying in the 60's for a while longer.  Still not pulling all of the plants out of the greenhouses yet.  I don't trust we won't get another freeze in a couple of weeks time.

Perfect time to stand outside Walmart in time for opening,   man.

Whoops -- LPoP and unread, no see we or anyone man.

If we were to read this, we would recommend a luxurious, American-made Pre-Owned Toilet Seat*, si man.

Yes, but my Russian wife has become "Americanized" since arriving here...20 years ago!  I do remember when she was first here she pointed to the dishwasher and asked what it was.  When I told her, she asked if we could get rid of it.

Surprisingly he doesn't seem to complain about the heat and humidity.

Our Brit makes great money and only pays for the mortgage and his new car.  Everything else he makes goes into savings so he can retire early.  They live off of everything she makes, and I do mean everything.  Last year they were going through a rough patch and there was some talk about divorce and he told her she wouldn't get any of what he saved.  I laughed and told her it doesn't work that way and in this state she was intitled to half of that pile of money.  Apparently he found that out too and dropped the divorce talk because he didn't want to loose so much!

Yes, that's like, I dunno, 2x2x2x2 feet up or so.  He's a pain in the rear so we had to give him something to scale.  He gets up there from the upstairs livingroom and typically climbs down.

I've lived this before and had it tossed in my face that "he paid the mortgage".  Yep, he's no longer here.  Replaced. Significant upgrade, I might add!  

 

Hopefully it's legitimately better for your daughter because life is too short to settle and be stuck with someone who doesn't actually make you happy.

Cute gato, si mam ma'am!

We are off-urinated,   we man.

Last week, skoolbus stoopervisor sent e-mail to say that Mini-B. is eligible to ride only the skoolbus to our casa, not to ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa man.

This is because our address is the one in skool records, only one record permitted man.

 

We wrote to acknowledge "eligibility" and to request authorization to ride either skoolbus, write we man.

Stoopervisor wrote curtly to repeat what he'd said,   man.

We wrote back to re-request authorization, no response man.

Mini-B.'s skool ID is scanned before entry to skoolbuses, scan they man.

He will be denied entry to any other skoolbus,   man.

Stoopervisor is rather dismissive, conclude we man.

 

This can't be the ONLY instance of split custody, no man.

We are quandaried as to next step, advice please man.

Man that is *stoopid* I'd tell them to kick rocks personally. There has to be someone that has the same parental situation.

Forgot to mention that yesterday driving back from the Keys we passed Alligator Alcatraz and even though it was cold out (ok, cool for the rest of you) there were more protestors holding signs than I have seen since the facility opened.

 

Apparently most were Hispanic and their signs were written in Spanish.

Thrilling Monday report, see man:

 

We awoke to the alarm and wished we could've over-zzz'd it, need-zzz we man.

Had to arise for the casa-repainters, dutiful we man.

 

Miu was on the active side but certainly not as aysheep as Sunday, non-aysheep miu man.

 

Painters started on time as usual, Many (2x2x2 +1) a.m. man.

They finished the body & trim of the entire casa by Many (2+2+1) p.m., amazed we man.

We paid project manager and were sorry in a way that this relationship has ended, highly positive man.

We must leave Google review, view and review we man.

We now are windowed and have a nicely sided/painted casa, satisfied we man.

Our neighbor tells us that we paid what HE paid Many (2x2x2) years ago, F$WM.   

We sent paid invoice to HOA management co. for ultimate reimbursement, close book on this story man.

 

"Fotos or it didn't happen, see or no man," see or no man man.

We can't post fotos here any longer, overcapacitized long ago we man.

However, for those interested, the colors are as follows, Sherwin-Williams man:

 -- Body, see man:  SW Many1Many2, Coastal Plain man

 -- Trim, see man:   SW ManyManyMany0, Courtyard man

The neighbors will be, uh, green with envy, hee hee hee man.

 

Breakfast/lunch was 2 ham-&-cheese sandwiches, ingest we man.

A siesta was taken, semi-successful zzz we man.

 

Mini-B. showed up, per skoolbus issue discussed above, q.v. man.

He thoroughly inspected the casa paint, inspect wee man man.

After contemplation, he ultimately concluded that he approves, big relief man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. lobbied for white, boring ex-she man man.

However, she too will probably approve, predict we man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. busy entrepreneuring on other side of town, aysheep ex-she man man.

We therefore chauffeured Mini-B. back to her casa, only instance of our leaving the casa man.

 

Din-din was TG, ingest we man.

Mama T-B. called Many (2+1) times, call senior she man we man man.

We put Mini-B. on the line with her and she forgot all about yelling at us, one good use for a Manyager man.

 

The painters left us almost onecan of trim paint and a giant vat of body paint, leftovers man.

We opportuned the chance to off-clean our long-ignored paint shelf in the garage, what's even there man.

We found some weird stuff, when the dickens was THIS ever used, and for what man.

We kept onecan of furniture-stain and toucans of white flat enamel, keep we man.

All others were curbsided in the garbage bin, curbside we man.

We hope that they'll dump out without coming open, otherwise paint inside of garbage bin man.

They're old enough that we suspect glued-on lids, looked solid to us man.

We also trashed a giant bag of "guaranteed" grass seed that never worked once,   man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

Must visit Mama T-B. on Tuesday, should've done so today man.

She still knows zero about our casa renovations, no clue man.

If we told her how much we paid, she'd get her wish and die of a heart attack, pinch-pennying senior she man man.

We shall now apply ourself to Mama T-B.'s taxes, self-apply we man.

And that was/is our thrilling Monday, report we man.
