Yes, they are a five stroker, aren't they! Not that I'm especially whipped up about them, I'm not going out of my way to see them.
Well, I'm done with the theatre run, it went well even if the pitcher fumbled the ball and sent it into the audience during one show (thankfully the umpire had a spare, which he gave to the catcher, and it worked out that time). I stood in the lobby for a bit to talk to the kids coming in. "Hey, you a baseball fan? Y'all are pulling for Mudville, right? Oh, it's gonna be a great game, Casey's been on such a streak lately!" Stuff like that. Took a test this afternoon, am barely keeping my eyes open but this late in the day a nap wouldn't be good. Thank God all my professors cancelled class tomorrow, I get to sleep and pack for NY (before rushing off to the pre-tour concert).
Suppose I'd better go do laundry, so I'll actually have clean underwear in the suitcase. Has anybody else heard Sinbad's take on laundry at school? "You know at home you've got all those different settings you know: your whites, your colors, your delicates. At College, you ain't got that. College you got two piles: dirty and funky. Dirty you can wear again; funky ya gotta do something about!" So true, so true...
Later all, Catbird

*giggle* "Dirty and Funkie" huh?
Yep, remember those days well... cept my piles were : Dirty, Funkie (must be washed), Clean, and the ellusive " My Roomate Borrowed Them..."
*the latter of these usually presented itself when I saw my roomie on campus and I said, "Hey, isn't that my shirt?"*

You have me rolling on the floor, Mel. Thanks for the laugh before I have to face the ride home. -Beth (who does not miss college or law school one single bit. Remember actually reading all those text books and then being Socratically questioned on them? Geez, I can't believe I survived.)

*snicker* You are welcome to Bdbrowski and Nikki, it makes my day to know someone got a smile outta my posts.. And only a few of my "lab jeans" (one I wore into the field for out door forestry labs) got to the "funkie" stage. And to my defense, we had entire floors in the dorms having to share 3 or 4 washers and dryers. *grin* You can imagine how much fun that was... with 60 or so girls on one floor, trying to do their laundry. *shutter* Didn't have that problem when I got my apartment. And hats off to you Bdbrowski for even attempting Law School... my butt would'a been out of there real quick, after the first test probably! *laugh* ;D

"Dead dog rolled in rotten cabbage"... Reminds me of a client we had. His business was hoof trimming. Picture him coming into our offices at the end of the day, after spending the day trimming the hoofs of cows, pigs..., without the benefit of going home to shower and change, I might add that I didn't bother staying too late, those few times that he came in very, very late in the afternoon.

Well, when laundry is $1.25 a load, heck yeah ya hold off! I mean, it's one thing if they're stained or stinky, but if there's nothing wrong with it... That is NOT the case when my Dad and brother get back after a weekend of camping with the Boy Scouts--The rule got laid down pretty quick that they handle their own Scouting clothes, and they will not put them in the same load as the rest of the family garments! I swear, they go off into the woods to scratch and grunt and marinade in their own testosterone. (No offense to our friends of the guy persuasion!) Mom and I just stay home, order Chinese and watch movies.
Actually I have plenty of clean clothes for NY, the only thing I may want to take care of tomorrow is white socks for tennis shoes.

$1.25 a load? I take it that doesn't include the dryer. Or does it?

I am so GRATEFUL to own a home with a washer and dryer. It's been over five years since I had to deal with coin-op laundry. AMEN. ALLELUIA.
May you never lose socks to the black hole of the public dryer.

Oh, the Sock Monster still lurks at my apartment home washer and dryer. Still haven't figured out how to elude that guy! ROLMAO Metella! Were you in a disection bio lab when you aquired the "dead dog in rotten cabbage" smell? In some of my upper level bio and zoology classes, the worst smells came fro when we were working on the Necterus (giant salamander) for a couple of weeks. *Gak!* Talk about reeking!!

Nope, I was working in a bio-research lab; growing a bacterium that is listed on the national terror list University research & boy do I have a lower opinion of that whole system than before I worked there. I was isolating the posion from the beast & it was smelly - consider I had to use acid in the vats to kill it. argh, eh? Take your disection lab and multiply it about 20 times - there's your dead-dog-a-la-cabbage smell. I would sometime lean over to a co-worker before going to lunch & have him smell my hair! It was like pig-pin; just kinda clouded around you. bluck.

Yes, they are a five stroker, aren't they! Lol, I love The Daily Show shout out, Catbird ;D I'm glad your trip and concert went well. Sorry Lewis Black caught you with his new NY slogan ... which for non-Daily Show fans is, "Welcome to New York. Now GET OUT!" ;D

OK, Trisha, can you explain the "Bush is Sauron" line? Sorry if I am in the dark..
And Dom, I am so jealous of you, not having to go to the coin op! i will be 39 next week and am still toting the laundry bag out every week, what hell! But that is life in NYC outside of the luxury apartments, which are very hard to get into when you own a gigantic, howling pooch.

*ewwwy* Man, that had to be a hard enviroment to go back into every day , Metella. And working on bio-terrorism type bacterium must have been interesting, if not a little scary. Eeesh!
I guess the dirtiest working conditions for my labs were the ones where we had to slog through bogs--thigh-deep in mud, sludge and various rotting material... looking for plant specimens for various animal browse surveys.
Not fun...hated those labs...it was always during a time when our heat index was around 115 degrees outside. *gag*
"Welcome to New York. Now, Get out!"...chuckle...funny slogan
