Yanti & Salty RidiculoSnarky Almost Intelligent-Charming Manatees PART 4 - Full (Page 69)

Yup.  Never married tho' they were common-law

I thought she was dating someone else.

Clearly not, apparently a six month romance and now they are engaged.  Fickle.

Well that's how it started with a collaboration on her new album.....people that sing together sleep together - clearly!  Not a sweeping generalisation at all.

oh dear GAWD ... my dad's doing History of Our Family from 1960 According to Him in great detail. I really don't need to hear for the 3000th time how my brother got busted smoking pot in college and from there all the troubles of our family until today have emerged.

Hopefully he'll just talk himself out, although that guy can talk like I can post.

I'll miss him when he's gone

I'll miss him when he's gone

I'll miss him when he's gone

Repeat, breathe, repeat

You will too!  Funny how the people we love most are the ones that can drive us to distraction and beyond!

Good morning (evening, night) MANATEES!!!!!!!!!!!

Yanti, sorry you had to suffer whilst we slept, dreaming sweet dreams of S/B/R...

Salty, enjoy the race! I think I'm going to help with some races that my Masters coach has coming up including a tri and an OWS race.

I had masters again this morning.  Got a new lane-mate.  My "old" one moved up and this new guy got... demoted/busted down to the slow lane. I am doing an OWS practice after work with the Masters Coach and a few of the group (and some non-masters group members). This will be my first organized OWS practice and I am looking forward to it.  I need to get new goggles at lunch today.  Mine have been getting gradually worse for the last few practices. (Unless one of the Manatees has a goggle restoration tip).   

Oh, funny story, this morning as I was headed out to Masters I could feel my legs/feet wanting to cramp up so I thought I'd try the pickle juice remedy.  So before I left the house I took a swig of pickle juice (shock to the taste buds at 5:30AM).  Well I did fend off the cramps as they weren't a problem during Masters, but I was sure burping that pickle juice for the entire hour! Ah well, at least I was able to keep swimming (just keep swimming)

That sounds quite entertaining! I've always found if funny when grown adults get that immersed into a movie culture. I'm sure the English find it interesting as well... "crazy Americans"

Almost got hit by a girl in a Mini Cooper while on my bike ride Wednesday night.  I was comong up on a WIDE OPEN intersection, I saw her stop at the stop sign, she had to wait for a car, then she proceeded to cross the intersection and would have hit me had I not noticed she had her head down looking at her friggin' phone while crossing the intersection.  Really poeple!!!

Anyhow I'm doing a sprint on Sunday with a 1200 yard swim.  It's the S.W.A.T. Jeremy Katzenberger Memorial Triathlon at Weatherby Lake.  A small lake community with some great people.  Jeremy was killed a few years ago in Afganistan, S.W.A.T = Supporting Weatherby's Adopted Troops so I like that this race is for a good cause.  I did it last year, it was so low key, just fun, not that competitive, my transition spot was a TREE!  This year they will have racks and swim caps with logos and CHIP TIMING!  it's a very technical bike course with lots of short rolling hills and a lot of turns.

Much luck to everyone in their racing/training this weekend.

Are there any text/phone-n-drive laws in KS?

And do we have a roll call for racing Manatees this weekend?

GO PEANUTBUTTER!!!

GO RACING MANATEES!!!!!!!!!

Whew. I think my dad's yapping wore me out. We went from History of the Family to Grand Plan to Save Indonesia and the World, which he passed on to me. (It's actually not a bad plan and it's saved a good bit of Indonesia, but really, I am *not* Azor Ahai reborn. Bonus points for anyone who knows where that comes from ... )

So after that I ate dinner with my mom, played some Yahtzee with her, continued the Mutti Manatee Mug War (I have pics), and passed out from 9pm to about 3am. That's a decent night's sleep; I'll probably just stay up now.

(The pics are out of order but you understand ... )

1. "Oh look! Vot ees thees vonderfool mug?"

2. "I like thees mug!"

(Me: grrrrrrr ... )

She is really cute, though. She's turning 79 soon and I really, really, really hope I hold up half as well as she has by the time I'm, say, 35. (Oh well ... too late ... shootin' for 40)

She is adorable! Does she always match the tablecloth?

HAHAHAHA!!! I never noticed that! I'll have to show her the pictures and your comment; she'll get a kick out of that.

My dad always complains about her hanging around in T-shirts (he'd prefer dresses and blouses, but my folks are old, they're gonna batch about each other no matter what the other one does) ... maybe I'll show him the pics and point out that she's just coordinating with the decor. SNERK.

My MIL always wears a blouse.  Housecleaning, gardening, doesn't matter.  On the rare occasions she wears a t-shirt or hoodie (ie the grandkids give her one or there is an "event" including one) she wears a blouse under said t-shirt or hoodie. When we did tie-dye shirts for my nieces race my MIL wore a blouse under her tie-dye t-shirt in 100 degree heat!
