Good luck today, Ruby.

WebGuy is thinking just for something different today, he is going to make it "Thurd Person Thursday" and only talk about himself in the third person. He thinks it may be much more difficult to do then it seems like it should be.

Is a cold 10 degrees at WebGuy's house.

It seems to work for Elmo.  He talks about himself in the third person all the time....  :)

 

WebGuy made it to the office, but he can't get his hands warmed up. He's turning up his space heater to high.

Close! For a brief interval he was shilling for Viagra. Mema for one, was very glad when they ditched that ad campaign as she found it creepy right on the heels of a failed presidential bid.

Hi guys.  Ghost will try to play along with thurd person posting, but she doesn't know how well she will do with it.  Ghost is positive she has never referred to herself in thurd person before.  Ghost's brain has to work very hard to do it.  Ghost knows JR would say "what brain??"  Ghost would then have to give JR an . 

Anyway Ghost got some snow last night and is wondering if she should go out and remove it from her driveway or leave it for her husband to take care of because it's so cold at her house today.   Wind chill is putting the temp at -5 and it's supposed to continue falling throughout the day.  Ghost thinks this should get an too.

And it appears that Pambo's avatar has disappeared.  Hmmmm...she is displeased. 

Pambo is feeling better than she's felt in a long time.  Her head isn't wanting to explode all the time...which rules!  She started going to a chiropractor...which she doesn't believe in...but it is apparently working for her. 

Amazing what works for even the biggest skeptic sometimes...especially one as big as she is. 

Mursc wonders if everyone would feel better thinking about Norm Macdonald imitating Bob Dole!

Ultimo is not going to play in third person Thursday... oh wait you nearly got me then! 

Bob Dole: [ shaking head ] Doesn't sound a thing like me. First of all, I don't run around saying "Bob Dole does this" nd "Bob Dole does that." That's not something Bob Dole does. It's not something Bob Dole has ever done, and it's not something Bob Dole will ever do!

The pure genius of Bob Dole's thurd person speak is the use of both the first and last name.

Mema is sorry Fuzzy is having a bad day. She totally sympathizes with the frustration of the running toilet. The last time Mema tried to fix a running toilet problem she ended up having to replace the whole toilet... slight mishap involving a pipe wrench. She wishes you the best of luck with fixing your toilet.

Fuzzy probably should tell the auditor to shove it. Hope the evening drive is better.

WebGuy feels bad that Fuzzy's day does sucketh so.

Did Mema take a swing at her toilet?

Also, the auditor has been pushed off until May. Oh well, at least Fuzzy knows what is going to keep her occupied in May.

Tonight was the first night this week Fuzzy was going to leave the office on time. Or so she thought. That was her thought before she went to sleep last night anyway. Good thing she already has an extra 3.5 hours in this week.

Not exactly. Mema noticed that one of the toilets in her house was frequently spontaneously running, so she decided that the thing to do was replace the inner workings. She mentioned this to Momma while talking to her on the phone earlier in the day, but had no intention of actually doing it that particular day as she had plans to go play Texas Hold'em with some friends in a few hours. Her momma, however, decided that she was going to insist upon coming over to assist with the repair as a means of consoling Mema for the recent breakup of Mema's marriage.  Since Mema's momma is not big on emotional supportiveness, but was actually making the effort, Mema decided to go ahead and re-gut the toilet before going off to the poker game... which she probably shouldn't mention to Momma because Momma was happier believing her to be severly distressed.

Given that Mema was on a time frame she decided that in the half hour it would take for Momma to drive over to her house, she could certainly get started on the job by disassembling the current works and maybe even get started on reassembling the new works. All went well on the disassembly, so she started on the reassembly... which is where she ran into the incomprehensible cluster of rubber gaskets and fittings that came with the new works.

Failing to discern what all of these parts were intended for, she decided to read the instructional diagram that came with the kit: Step 1 = remove the flush handle. Didn't do step 1. This was not a problem until Mema became aware that it was step 1. One must follow the "Method and Procedure" document when one has such a thing, so the flush handle must be removed. Alas, the little nut was corroded to the bolt. Lacking the patience to look through the mess of chemicals Mema's wuzband left in her garage, she decided the quickest and most effective means of resolving the corrosion situation was to apply greater leverage to the situation... hence the pipe wrench. Mema did successfully detach the flush handle from the toilet tank... tragically along with a large piece of the corner of the toilet tank itself. There is no repairing THAT.

Mema is a telecom engineer, not a plumber (obviously)... according to the rather humorless fellow at the Home Depot, if one decimates their toilet tank one must replace the entire toilet. Ah well... on the up side, Mema did make it to the poker game on time and had the whole gang in tears laughing about her plumbing adventure.
