16493. Magoseph - 9/7/2005 1:04:27 PM Macnas is worth a separate hello every morning, isn't he Magoseph?
Yes, Ulgine, he always answers my morning greeting. 16494. Magoseph - 9/7/2005 1:27:35 PM I’m going to be very busy today at a couple of wifely loving activities. For example, Flexy will have thoughtful’s grandmother’s sauerkraut dish, plus the boiled potatoes he wants with it. I’ll tackle Butch and give him a good soaping, drying, and brushing, now that I have such good advice from my pals here. I’ll wait, though, until Flexy is in a meeting later this afternoon with a Chicago developer who made us an offer. 16495. thoughtful - 9/7/2005 1:28:48 PM Thanks Arky and jexster. Actually, jex, I just found it heartbreaking.
Ulgine, you have an odd way of putting it, but thanks nonetheless. 16496. Magoseph - 9/7/2005 1:59:26 PM Of course, instead of cooking sauerkraut and washing the dog, I could do one of these two activities--well, considering my advanced age, I guess I'd have to dabble in paint..
16497. Magoseph - 9/7/2005 7:03:24 PM Thoughtful, the sauerkraut dish is done and I keep it warm until Flexy gets of the phone. If he takes too much time, I may eat it all, so good it is. 16498. thoughtful - 9/7/2005 7:06:48 PM I'm glad you're enjoying it...grandma B. would be pleased. She was a great cook, and loved feeding people, though oddly enough, she hated cooking itself. She was one of those who never actually had dinner with the rest of the family. She was always up and getting more dishes, serving food to everyone. After we were all full, she'd make a plate for herself and sit down and eat. 16499. Magoseph - 9/8/2005 2:12:01 PM One plate and the man was sated, so I finished the rest. I never got to shampoo Butch since there's always something around here to foil my projects, but today is the day to do that chore.
Hello, Moties. 16500. Macnas - 9/8/2005 2:29:10 PM Hello Mago 16501. Magoseph - 9/8/2005 2:56:05 PM Hello, Mac--tell me, do you have some exciting plans this weekend for the wife and kiddies?
Last night, Flexy's daughter called and wanted us to go to her daughters' school show next week. The first thing I said to her was: you should talk to your dad about this because, as you must know by now, I am not the travel director around here and never was. I know your dad often uses me as an excuse for not accepting your invitations, you must know that I am not the deciding factor about traveling to Chicago.
Then, I went to Flexy and told him that this time, I preempted him and he better not say this time that it is I who doesn't like to get out of the house. 16502. judithathome - 9/8/2005 3:11:51 PM Looks like Butch's bath is not the only thng getting "foiled" around there. ;-) 16503. Macnas - 9/8/2005 3:14:24 PM No Mago, I do not have any plans for the family. I have two gunstocks to work on, one repair and one refinish, so I have to dedicate some time for that.
I have to measure up and draught a plan of the kitchen as my Missus wants to re-do the whole thing. I have a clay shoot I want to take part in, but I don't know that I'll have to the time to go, I'll have to see how things work out.
I'm going to keep most of Sunday clear so that we might head off somewhere or other, weather depending. 16504. Magoseph - 9/8/2005 3:19:22 PM Yes, I am getting some gumption lately--no more of too much respect for a man who is twenty years old than me. I mean, I can bow to experience in financial matters, maybe political ones too, but I'll be darn if I'm going to help him make me the proverbial wicked step-mother. 16505. Magoseph - 9/8/2005 3:21:11 PM Judith, how did last evening out with your friends go? 16506. Magoseph - 9/8/2005 3:24:39 PM Well, Mac, It looks as the family will have a nice time and maybe, so will you. 16507. Magoseph - 9/8/2005 3:26:10 PM Actually, I should rephrase this comment, Mac--you will have a nice time yourself because you will be with the family. There, better? 16508. Magoseph - 9/8/2005 3:27:24 PM I think that I'm getting far too feisty--I'm going to take a nap now before tackling Butch. 16509. Ms. No - 9/8/2005 3:56:41 PM Nah, we like you feisty! 16510. alistairconnor - 9/8/2005 4:15:57 PM Looks like you're holding the whip hand now, Mago.
Harness up the coach and six! Off to Chicago. Fouettes, cocher! 16511. Ms. No - 9/8/2005 4:31:48 PM How did the weekend go, Connor? Did you give us details and I missed them? 16512. alistairconnor - 9/8/2005 4:52:39 PM Um um weekend. Nothing much. Got my mother back onto the plane on Saturday, back to NZ via Frankfurt and Singapore. She freaked me out by not having her tickets when we went to check in, I thought for a minute they were at home an hour's drive away, but they were in the car. She says this was her last trip, she's said it before but I believe her this time. Fading short-term memory is troublesome in three-hour layovers in big international airports, stuff like that.
So it'll be our turn to visit her next.
