BronxWench

congrats BW

Thanks, everyone!

Happy Anniversary!!!

We never get snow. I'm in the jealous category along with SK!

I hope it's stopped by now and hasn't made things worse. Have they at least picked up the trash yet? If not, can it be dumped in the streets to improve traction?

FS: I like the way you think! But alas, I'm reduced to using the handy bag of kitty litter in the back of the car...

LOL. Will do, ma'am!

awwwww, but snow is fun!

We have a warmer?? I knew I loved Harem Knights for a reason!

Thanks, Kera!

*places one of pittwitch's sparkly tiara's on your head and leads you over to the merry band of elves that wish to -personally- congratulate you*

This could take a while... Thank you, Rogue!

I would be very happy to send all my snow to anyone who wants it. My knee seconds that.

My arthritis doesn't like it, but I ignore the twinges... because I LOVE the snow!

Hope you didn't get too much snow where you are bw. I don't like snow either

Thank you all! It feels odd to be the parent of a soon-to-be college freshman, when I'm still pretty sure that I only had her a few years ago... (Look! De Nile! )

I hear you. My youngest is now drinking age. I swear I was changing his diapers a few weeks ago. Kids sure do grow up fast. . . Don't they?

Congrats to her!

Honestly, it’s just that sort of pure blind luck I seem to have. I’d worked for the government before, they were recruiting, they made puppy eyes, and I said okay. I went through all the paperwork, and vetting, and clearances (I’m shockingly clearance-worthy). I was sworn in on October 29, and I’m now having a lovely little unpaid vacation.

In truth, I work because I’m bored otherwise. I’m not dependent on that paycheck, so I’m fine. BUT there are far too many other people who do depend on that paycheck, and this was simply wrong. I feel worse for the people who have to work without pay. My hat is off to Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, however. Once again, as she did in the last shutdown, she is donating her salary during the shutdown to a Nevada charity. I admire the gesture.

I’m not going to dip my toes into the actual politics. I’m fairly moderate, and view both the far left and far right with the same sort of wary distaste generally reserved for things best not discussed in the drawing room. I will say that if one does not have a grasp of economics, or even the patience to read a one-page precis, one should not attempt to govern. Governing from the gut tends to fail miserably, which one knows if one reads their history.

     I swear, that thing is shut down more than it’s up, and even when it is running, it never feels like it’s running ‘well’.

@Praetor Isn’t that the truth, though?

I hope things get a bit easier for you soon, and the car ends up okay *hugs*

Dealerships always seem to offer the worst service. Hope your car-ma improves.

I'm very much in agreement, George. I may prod my neighbor's mechanic and see if he'll take on my Jeep. I'm post warranty now anyway, so...

Wine is always a win!

@CL Mustafic  Hope the day has been going well.  (I’m now home, so better keyboard    )

Hope you had a good one, CL!

Thank you, CloverReef  

  ROFL, Thank you, InvidiaRed, that was awesome

Thank you, everyone! 21 years, and we're still talking. It's astonishing!

Melrick, I haven't actually killed him yet, but I really think I'd get off with time served if I did.

Yay! Congrats to you both

Thank you!

Thank you, everyone! Mom is responding to the antibiotics for her pneumonia, and her atrial fibrillation is back under control. Hopefully, she comes home in a day or two.

Glad she's doing better.

Well, best wishes on her health, and I hope she has a speedy and successful recovery.

I understand that feeling, i started off as the windshield and ended the day as the bug. It's not fun to be the beg.

You mean we're supposed to get a turn being the Windshield? When does that happen?????????

I'll let you know...

Thank you, Pittwitch and Melrick. I had a fantastic day.

Belated Happy Birthday!

Thank you, JayDee  

Wait, what! I'm terribly sorry to hear that, but I pray that it's not severe and easily controlled. (Not as easy for a kid, I can only start to imagine.)

Best of luck and hang in there.

FS, thank you! She's handling it well, maybe better than I am!

I hope she's doing better Bronx, It always sucks when the kids get sick.

::shares the good whiskey:: Never liked the fecker anyway...

Wouldn't Murphy be one of those who needs the bell, because he didn't die?

Trust me, by the time I get done with him, Murphy WILL be dead. >.<

Oh, sweetie, not a problem! I'm addicted to tweaking my stuff, so I understand wanting to get it right.

It has been very cold here on and off for the last month or so. It makes me cranky when it gets so cold that my pipes freeze and it takes days for them to thaw out after the cold snap is over.

This wench hates the cold. With profound fervor. And great enthusiasm.

I'm reading The Long Earth - by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter.

I think I will crack open one of my Michael Moorcock books!

so reading a text book doesnt count?! poo

Congratulations, babe

Thank you, everyone! We're really proud of him!

Yay! With those interests he'll always have lots to explore and learn!

I'll reserve the penthouse for you, my dear Harem Knight!

Excellent! I shall bring... no, I think you'll have enough ice. Pretties?

Always bring pretties! The more, the better...

Oh you’re an April girl!  April people are clearly superior to others.  Happy birthday to you @pittwitch !

Happy birthday, PW!

Belated Happy Birthday!

thankee!

What they all said!

thankee!

I’ve only read the books so far, my plan is to get a second hand complete dvd box set when it’s finished.

Oh, you must! While the series does diverge from the books, the weddings alone are worth the dvd set.

Yeah, my friends who’ve seen/read both say that they're both great for differing reasons and the series is good in its own right. I’ll just box set and binge. And keep grumbling ‘til Winds of Winter comes out.

We will wear t-shirts proudly bearing our disclaimers, and ruin childhoods wherever we go with stories based on old and almost forgotten TV shows!

Can I join too?

Absolutely, Neko-baby!

Happy new year to you too. May your all wishes come true and 2018 turns out to be really prosperous for you. 

I’m starting off the new year with a few pounds of pork loin in the smoker… should be good.
