Saturday's ramblings and how Mr. Retired got zinged!

Crook News:
Today Mr. Retired got zinged!
Heh! The checker at the grocery has the best poker face I've seen in ages and when Mr. Retired asked her why she had an ear of raw corn at the counter, she fed him a grand line about how she was going to eat the raw ear of corn—husk and all—for lunch. Mr. Retired believed her and said it might be hard on her teeth. I almost hit the floor laughing.

I’m used to Mr. Retired zinging others, and he always does so in grand style, but in 31 years I’ve never seen anyone catch him before. It was priceless.

Packing
I’m trying to get us packed for our trip, and I’m getting a lot of help. Just click the image below for the full-scale picture of my helper.









Sold!

Yesterday we signed the papers and sold our house. Escrow closes on 10/12—just in time for our 31st wedding anniversary. Nice present for us.

VPN
Aaarrrggghhh! Cannot get the VPN to work in Linux. We can wifi, but we can’t do so securely. Most frustrating. Give me a Macintosh any day. *wink*

A Parmesan by any other name …
Would taste just as yucky! Why do restaurants insist on dumping Parmesan and garlic on all their sandwiches? I hate Parmesan cheese and find it annoying to try to remember to say, “No parmesan and garlic” on my bread—especially when it’s not statef on the menu that the cook is going to ruin the sandwich. Oh well, I picked the meat and tomato out of the bread at lunch and ate them. Healthier in the long run. *grins*

Now it’s time for me to get back to packing, provided Abby will stay out of the suitcases.
