Scintillating Sunday repartee, yawn man. ----- Thrilling Sunday report, see man: We zzz'd overnight like a dead thing, dead we man. Rather early, Cousinette-T-B.-Once-Removed texted, contact she man we man man. Estranged Aunt* T-B., Mama T-B.'s/Uncle T-B.'s "baby" sister, is near death from sepsis, days left man. *not from malice but rather from preference, explain we man EA has been in a noosering facility out-of-state for at least Many years, too fat & infirm to move man. Infected bedsores got out of control despite best efforts, matter of time when bedridden man. EA has no estate documents, man. We are going to have to handle the eventual funeral and settle-estating long-distance, man. We are also going to have to monitor Uncle T-B., to be consumed with grief senior he man man. Ironically, most important will be to get EA off Uncle T-B.'s beneficiary designations, otherwise all is hosed man. We spent most of Sunday researching what to do and how, research we man. We barely got to see any of our NFL game, sigh man. No Sunday siesta, absolute heresy man. LL is still baking at this writing, nearly midnight man. And EA hasn't died yet, no man. If anyone has had to do this business interstatedly, by all means contribute man. Lunch was MTG, ingest we man. Din-din was spaghetti/meat sauce brought by ex-Mrs.-T-B., amazingly no cilantro in it man. Mini-B. arrived for Two Guys week, to be truncated on Saturday morning man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. is taking Mini-B. on a Many-day ([2+2]-day) cruise during Christmas week, cruise they man. Meanwhile, we are glued here caregiving and soon-to-be settle-estating, sigh man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Caucuses with case managers, funeral homes, lawyers, and more on Monday, whoopee for we man man. And that was/is our thrilling Sunday, report we man.

HAPPY MONKEY DAY TO ALL, EVEN INFERIOR PRIMATES.

We are in crucial need of our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY I wish I were as thin as my patience. I used to think that I was indecisive. Now, I'm not so sure. Dear Naps: I'm sorry I was a jerk to you as a kid. What if soy milk is just regular milk introducing itself in Spanish? There are three things that never lie: children, drunks, and yoga pants. The first five days after the weekend are the hardest. I childproofed my house, but the kids still get in. I just did a week's worth of cardio after walking into a spider web.

Thrilling Saturday-on-Sunday report, see man: We embedded ourself after 2 a.m., suboptimal man. We set alarm for half-past Many (2+2+2) a.m., appalling man. We awoke consequent to pain at Many (2+2+2) a.m., man. Our Friday Chinese buffet gained us Many (2+2) -- si man, Many (2+2) pounds, how is this even possible man. We strove to prep and leave casa before the above, promised at Many (2x2x2) a.m., displeased we man man. Many usual steps were skipped, displeased we man. We got on road and actually had to kill time, displeased we man. Found open Post Office and did some business, at least there was that at Many (2x2x2 +1) a.m. man. Breakfast (at half-past Many [2x2x2 +1] a.m.) was lunch food at Jack in the Box*, ingest we man. *bought WUOC, F$WM Then, after further delay was unnecessary, traffic & road-destruction hosed our progress, displeased we man. After the dud GSs/ESs, we stopped at a Goodwill, first time in ages because overpriced etc. man. We unenthusiastically found 2 shirts that mildly interested us, at least not empty-handed for the day we man. However, one cashieress was serving a Manyzen customers, not going to wait we man. We disgustedly left our cart and walked out, we man. By now it was after half-past 1 p.m., almost time to head back to casa man. We briefly debated treating ourself to a good early din-din, self-debate we man. However, it began to sprinkle rain, kill the mood man. Then, Mama T-B. phoned, "I need you NOW man" aysheep senior she man man. We accordingly headed back to the casa in infuriating traffic, we man. The power co. had done nothing to or with the power all day, man! And if they announce that they will on another day, or do it without announcement, look out, grrRRRRR man. After servicing insistent miu and showering, we visited Mama T-B., compliant we man. This visit involved little or even no yelling, mirabile dictu man. Afterward, we went to Aldi, up-catching Two Guys Week grocerying man. Returned to casa just before sundown, made it man. Re-serviced re-insistent miu, reservice miu we man. Din-din was half of Mama T-B.'s leftover tuna sandwich, a chicken pot pie from Aldi, and most of a bag of knockoff Fritos scoops from Aldi, ingest we man. A highly necessary and restorative siesta was then taken, zzz we man. Our shoulder is killing us again, probably ingest prohibited HSM again we man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. NFL game and one LL for Sunday, plan we man. And that was/is our thrilling Saturday, report we man.

Saturday GS/ES report, see man: We attended all Many, attend we man. All were duds, skunked man. Total = $0

Bad non-F$ Bro G man! Bad, BAD non-F$, NON-F$ Bro G man! U.S. inefficiency in comparison with Mexico, see and si man. "Huang2," see and si and don't you recognize Chinese surnames man?

Wonderful to hear! An often-overlooked element of satisfaction is filling in that final box in one's VJ timeline. Have her order the U.S. passport book with extra pages (no extra cost).

What a great gift you gave to yourself, getting everything done. We're all supremely happy for you and wish you the best, always and ever.

This is great news. Thanks for posting your update!

Thrilling Friday non-ES report, see man: Lousy zzz overnight, HSM failed man. Took long rant-call from Mama T-B., upset senior she man for good reason man. We kept offering solutions, all rejected man. Mama T-B. merely wanted a sympathetic ear, man. Breakfast/lunch/din-din was at "the" Chinese buffet, calm down Bro G man. The waitress, seen before by us, was "Huang2," obviously a spy of some sort man. She was overly solicitous, kept trying to refill our water glass man. She has a nice smile but has minimal English and isn't our type, quit arguing before you start Bro G man. We consumed Many (2+2) plates heaped with beef & chicken, ingest we man. WCG returned from London today, 221(g) for Mrs. WCG's IR-1 visa man. WCG would pass by and wanted to meet us at half-past Many at Costco food court, meet we & WCG man. We were finishing with our ESs but thought we could make it, stop at casa first man. Just then, Cousinette-once-removed called with family medical info, long chat on & after drive man. Call ended and we entered casa to face demanding miu, Time For Afternoon Service Daddy man. We hurriedly serviced miu, service miu we man. We then grabbed what we needed for WCG and headed back out, rushed we man. Of course, we hit skoolzone traffic, man. Hourlong caucus with WCG was great, enjoyable mutually man. We saved $Many in postage by handing WCG what we'd have otherwise mailed, F$WM. It turns out that we had parked the T-B.-mobile and WCG-mobile contiguously, amazing man. We continued to legacy supermarket for Two Guys Week grocerying, grocery we man. Of course, we also need one item each from Costco and from Aldi, man. It took much time to unload and sort our ES haul, man. Miu demanded further service, service miu we man. No time for a siesta at all, man. No party with the rubias, no cavort we man. Per power co., we shall be powerless for most of Saturday, man. We have itineraried Many (2+1) GSs and Many (2+1) ESs far out of town, kill the day man. The crucial element is whether we can prep and exit the casa before Many (2x2x2) a.m., unlikely man. And that was/is our thrilling Friday, report we man.

Friday ES report, see man: We attended Many (2+2+1) of these Many (2+2+2) ESs, skipped the least promising one we man. All Many (2+2+1) attended ESs yielded very lavish takes, wow man. Today was probably the Many'rd-best or even 2nd-best ES day of this year, conclude we man. The take, see man: -- Many (2x2x2x2x2x2x2) party cups, jug CLR remover, t-shirt, bag rubber bands = $Many ($2+2+2+1), steal man -- ~full jug Tide + Downy, NIP roll paper towels, NIP dryer-sheets = $Many ($2+2+2), big steal man -- NIP bottle Many-mg acetaminophen, NIP bottle magnesium tabs, NIP bottle senior multivitamins, Carhartt pocket t-shirt, toothbrush tube = $Many ($2x2x2 +2+2+1), steal man -- J. Crew flannel shirt, travel alarm, sm. box Q-tips, Many (2+1) bars Safeguard soap = $Many-&-a-half ($2+2+2 + half a buck), steal man -- 2-gallon gas can, full can Lysol spray, ~full bottle CLR remover, half-jug bug-formula windshield fluid = $Many ($2x2x2 +2), steal man Total = $Many-&-a-half ($2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2 + 2 + half a buck)

We didn't ask and she didn't flirt, all-business she man man. She does have a skool-aged son, mentioned having to pick him up man. No ring and no mention of husband, but down there that means nothing man. Silence from the inferior-primate peanut gallery, shaddap man. (Telling someone not to post, si man! TOS violation, si man! Reported, si man!!!!!) So much for painless dentistry, ow ow OW OW OW man. Seriously, we think that we'll switch to this new chica for these reasons, see man: 1. No need to walk 1 long block + 1 long half-block from lab to usual clinic, no man. 2. Better availability, flexible she man. Many. Cleaning done by actual dentist vs. hygienist, get lowdown on dental issues as well as cleaning man. Purely for comparison, we would like to know Bro G's typical fees (and turnaround time) for producing a lower hard/soft nightguard, $i man. In our instance, they took the impression first thing and made the nightguards while our other stuff was going on, si man. It's been so long since we had one done in the U.S. that we're curious, curious we man. Years ago, we did have one made in Ecu (a hard lower) that was ready the next day, recall we man.
