resp:23 Oh man, that is terrible. I could handle it if my luggage got
lost but I would seriously freak out if my dog got lost by an airline.

The summer before last when my nephew Ramsey came to visit, his
luggage was mistakenly sent to one of the cruise ship lines, who
loaded it aboard their vessel and sailed off with it. Although
they were eventually reunited, we had to buy him new clothes for
the trip and his luggage (which made it all the way up the Inside
Passage to Skagway) got to see more of Alaska than he did.

re resp:15 Well, I was bummed, but now I'm glad to read that your plans
are going ahead. The holidays can be an awfully stressful time.

might imagine.)

IBB I have a nasty cold right now. At the moment I am grateful for the
wonderful people who invented kleenex and dayquil. I want this day to
be over so I can go home and crawl under the covers for the next two
days. Oh and I also want to get my nose amputated.

I've had good luck chasing colds away with multiple shots of whiskey,
possibly with lemon or honey, and huddling under the covers in a
slightly overheated room overnight.

I have had good success with that zinc nasel gel. Sometimes I have
barely gotten a cold at all.

I got home from work and did the dishes. My wife just finished chewing me
out for my inconsideration because the activity woke her granddaughter
[8:30am]. As a third shifter, uninterrupted sleep doesn't exist for me and
the dream that it might return evaporated decades ago. i guess that i'm just
bummed that she took the liberty to dump the blame on me, rather than consider
the possibility that the granddaughter already slept a few hours beyond her
regular time to get up.
Scourge me: I'm certain that I deserve it.

Third shift work is tough as you're always bucking the majority. It
takes a special person to adapt for the long haul.

Fitz, that's too bad. You're working at an odd time as it is, and you
still want to help out around the house. Quite frankly, hats off to
you!

Oh, I would have done the dishes anyway: It's what I do. There ain't no
sense of sex role reversal when my mom had me doing dishes since I was five
or so. (The counter was very high.) So, put your hats back on. Doing dishes
means that I will know where utensils are when I cook. I wasn't really
*helping* around the house in a situation where my effort would be noticed
or appreciated.
Of course, I was surprised that it caused such irritation. I sort of wonder
if something else irritated her before I did, but I'll show my respect and
take what she complained about as something I can do something about next
time.
Listen me complain! And I didn't even buy you guys a beer.

You can't help it if the kid won't sleep while you do dishes. They've gotta
get done so that's how it goes. We do dishes after my kids are in their beds
and sometimes my 3 year old wanders out into the hall 2-5 times but eventually
he falls asleep. Its wrong to blame a spouse for child mischief. And in the
case of a baby, they don't call it "sleeping like a baby" for nothing. If
the baby doesn't sleep through your dish washing then there's something else
going on.

I'm bummed because a refrigerator problem in my downstairs apartment
caused all the frozen food I've been storing down there to thaw. It
was still refrigerator-compartment temperature when I found it but I
have no idea how long it's been at that temp and I just returned from
a couple of weeks' absence, so I decided that it was safest to throw
out everything in the freezer that might have spoiled, which included
a substantial amount of halibut and salmon, some tasty Cajun sausages
a guest brought from Louisiana, a bunch of handmade lumpia (kind of
like a Filipino egg roll) made by a bunch of little old Filipino ladies
and given as a gift to Cathy and I, and a bunch of other stuff I was
saving..
I'd actually been planning to serve a fair amount of this stuff at a
party soon, so having to chuck it all or risk food poisoning my guests
was depressing.

I'm 6'1" or so and used to be about 150 lbs but then I was on a bunch of
medication, some of which had the effect of making me gain weight.
I'm now about 185 lbs, and, uh, just today I noticed I have STRETCH marks on
my hips and biceps.
Kind of annoying!
