Tersosity & Verbosity

• Why would installing an updated ATI video driver cause some kind of SQL Server performance monitoring to kick in & fail b/c SQL disabled… #
• Looks like some known thing with sqlctr60 and perflib, broken by the “ATI wants to do more than simply drive your video” components. #
• Still. Haven’t turned SQL Exec etc. on in at least several months. Shouldn’t be a factor beyond using a little disk space. But hey… #
• At least the machine hasn’t spontaneously turned itself off cold since I updated the video driver I suspected was corrupt. #
• Told kids bedtime was 7:00 periodendofstory. Better start evicting them from tub. Supper ran late enough to saute my words. #
• Made it turn off, despite the video driver update. Repeat scenario, too, caused by playing Snood. Usually it’s random while in Firefox. #
• Poll inspired by @neatlytangled: If one shoelace is loose & needs to be retied, do find you MUST retie the other one too or it feels wrong? #
• I’d never heard of Colonel Bleep before. Freaky. #
• Snow was not in the forecast. #
• @y2vonne We had it on for the kids for a while, sort of paying minor attention to part of it. #
• @sharone75 My eyes are such that on Blackberry I read “discovered the mouse…” and then it made no sense so I had to try again. #
• @Shurakai Not break. Feel loose, so you retie one tighter than it had been. Do you compulsively retie the other too, even if not loose. #
• @cehwiedel Ancient cartoon. Opened a 12 DVD set of cartoons in effort to distract kids. Prob late 40s start of 50s. #
• @cehwiedel Which really makes it less ancient than a lot of them we have. Very cheesy. Very atomic-focused. Classic narration voice. #
• Attempting to damp cook beef in oven to be shredded later for burritos. Warmth is good. #
• @Shurakai And yeah, absolutely change both ASAP, subject to emergency delay. Since they always break when late/harried. #
• After last shutoff Win2k box wouldn’t boot all the way. Have it in safe mode for further testing. #
• Maybe it’s a DirectX problem… #
• @cehwiedel They have it on special at Wal-Mart, $9-odd, says 600 cartoons, over 60 hrs, 12 DVDs. Mill Creek, IIRC. Yes. #
• @y2vonne Heh. Never been into sports, particularly football. Weird, huh? My father probably wonders what happened. #
• Can’t believe I started meat for burritos early this afternoon & never though of beans from scratch. Will have to open a can. Duh. #

• Open face turkey sandwiches were a massive hit. Henry ate an entire slice, 1/4 can cranberry sauce, some peas. #
• Almost managed to get them all to sleep before their mother was due home. Val wants to be an only child & Henry was unserious about sleep. #
• Darn eyes are still kind of fuzzy. #
• That went a bit long for such a light day. 3:00 start time (ues, 15 min earlier. Volume begins. #
• @MikeG1 Wanna trade? I bet mine can outdisobey yours. But they love to eat! #
• Trying to psych myself up to drag kids out to corner for the parade at 1:00. #
• Should make turkey soup today. Still enough of 16lbs ;eft for a sandwich or two and that. #
• 2 yo is insulted that the couch cushions stole her hair, angrily picking it off & saying “let go!” Told he she shed it fair & square. #
• This was so upsetting that she completely missed lunch, which has now been mangled by her brother while I wasn’t looking. #
• @phillymac Ah, but did you answer to it? #
• It was a massive relief to have an extra adult for the parade. Would have *really* hurt to hold 2 kids for the duration. #
• @Pistachio “High” and “, Miller” came to mind, strangely. #
• Nap sounds good. Kids trying to eat as much candy as possible post-parade. #
• I know, I know… not a surprise considering the parents, but man we have weird kids. #
• Sadie is sucking a cherry candy cane down to a thin center nib, then breaking it off & discarding, rather than chewing it. #

• @Ithildyn Thanks! It was Henry’s first real food Thanksgiving. Bonus he can eat stuff he couldn’t before. Loved cranberry sauce. #
• Rubbed sage definitely beats the powdered stuff. #
• Henry didn’t break my favorite mug. Moving it to keep it out of his reach did though. Got 10 years out of it. None of the others are as big. #
• I sense a disturbance in the caffeine routine. #
• Why yes, I babble in the face of needing to take trash out & drag barrels to the street for pickup tomorrow morning. #
• I hate waking up with allergy eye so severe & painful I can’t see usefully. #
• @pc4media Happy birthday! #
• Keep trying to get in shower before Deb leaves, if only because that usually makes me able to see when my eyes do this. #
• Kids aren’t looking, hee goes… #
• Better, but it’s still like welding flash to look at a monitor. Well, lots of non-computer stuff to do. #
• Deb is off to today’s special episode of Retail Theater. #
• Pursuing theory of corrupt video driver, installed updated Radeon 7200 driver on Win2k box. Now it’s hurry and wait. #
• Kids keep asking for “more chicken!” Periodically I note that it’s turkey as I hand out more. They’re dipping in Kool-Aid as if it’s sauce. #
• Time to feed the monsters. Open face with gravy & side of cran sauce? Or turkey salad sandwich? Or something else? Decisions… #
• Not in mood for “help.” Sadie wouldn’t leave kitchen so I came back here & told her they could just eat later. #
• Partly a matter of I want to prepare opinion-free servings & present them w/o “no, I want [something else]!” interjections. #
• @phillymac In? I had today off from FredCo. Deb worked at MegaLoMart, but 24 hrs already so no extend. I may have longer shift tonight. #
• @phillymac And after tonight expect longer shifts to be norm until just after xmas. Be nice to have a lot in next couple weeks. #
• Sounds quiet. Maybe I can heat food now. Think I’m going for the open face & cranberry sauce overload. #

• Yay for getting paid! And the $1.00 glloves? Lasted a shift. Well! 2 holes. Still beats bare. #
• My reflexes. Let me show you them. Actually hurt my arm while not hitting the nice deer on 495. #
• It was supposedly slow but it seemed like we had a lot. Unloaded over 2 full trailers worth myself far as I can tell. #
• Deciding whether to try sleeping an hour or so before starting on food prep. We eat late & I need, say, 5.5 hrs from fridge to carving. #
• Everything else can be done while turkey is in oven, so it’s the yardstick. #
• Usually it’s a frozen bird that’s only barley thawed after 4-5 days in fridge, so I have to cook & thaw at once. #
• @moogiesworld Yep, I’m the cook. #
• *belch* #
• ’scuse me :> #

• Scanning some of Sadie’s pen drawings she’s done in little notepads. #
• Too darn early. #
• So much for the management expecting us to be out by 6:15. But I think they kept me later as others left. #
• Had my 1st heavy box to the head. Not a knockout but could have been easily. And had a slowmo pratfall. Yay. #
• I totally want to hold one or more kids all day while helplessly doing absolutely nothing. #
• Especially not the one who’s a neurotic pile. #
• @Ithildyn # Makes it distinct for search so you can see what’s being said about a topic. #
• @Ithildyn # May not be needed to make a tag distinct, but tells all “hey, this is a tag” so they know to also use or search under same. #
• Apparently I need to salve and rubber glove my hands before doing intensely painful things like touching food. #
• It’s feeding time for the mosters. Sadie had trouble with no rolls meaning hot dog can’t go ona roll. #
• Remarkably, most kids do make it to adulthood. #
• @pixxiespaz Yes, should be fine. Crust can also be made all or part with shortening. #
• @Ithildyn Seems to work for me, real term or # one, frex: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=xover #
• Put all energy into work. Kids sucking away the rest. Must. Clean. House. Etc. Baby refuses to nap. Augh. #
• Sadie is channeling Oliver Twist or something. Mini marshmallows ftw. #

• What a weird shift. Short even had I not been late. Everyone was slow. Belt stopped more than went. #
• Glad this monsoon isn’t in frozen form. Was going to stop at store but would have to kill half an hour. #
• @TomRaftery I realized early in my blogging career, in 2003, that there wasn’t much to CP besides fluffy self-promotion. #
• Apparently I needed more sleep than I realized. #
• Since it’s Tuesday and it’s not that much more, going to try to get a fresh turkey instead of frozen. #
• I end up thawing them as they cook every time, so it might not matter, but it’ll be a nice change. 4-5 days in fridge=still frozen for us. #
• Since it’s about 3 hours later than expected, I ought to have a bite to eat, drink more coffee and get moving. #
• @phillymac Because you’re a rational serf. Er, I mean human being. #
• @phillymac I know. <Dr. Evil>7.5 *tillion* dollars!</Dr. Evil> #
• That was yummy. Now what else to eat besides a little macaroni with ham and parm? Calories please! #
• The road to serfdom is paved with good intentions. #
• Let’s do the economic equivalent of saddling us with the TSA! Fun, and so good for our children’s children’s children & other living things. #
• Surrogate ice cream for allergy boy is expensive. #

• I slept! #
• Computer so far works fine in safe mode without & now with networking. Bet the shutdowns are a corrupt driver. Maybe crud. #
• Back seems upset that I didn’t abuse it by moving 1500 packages or wrestling 145 lb oddball stuff today. Go figure. #
• Apparently adequate sleep makes me cranky. At least combined w/back pain, finger pain, & getting a cold b/c I was inside & warm overnight. #
• My healthiest winters ever were the 4 I spent delivering Boston Globes every AM at 4:00 (1:00 Sundays) driving with window open. #
• @abigvictory Wow, @sekimori is mean! Does chuckling at it make me mean too? #
• @danabrit Perhaps Patrick Stewart could issue the order? “Engage!” #
• @robmay I tend to turn that and other Seuss into song, so I can just imagine. #
• @pixxiespax Maybe google accidental verbosity sugar cookies? #
• Ham is done. Kids don’t care about waiting for the rest because ham is Best Food Ever. #

• Way too late to be going to bed. Everyone else beat me. 3 Hours until I have to be up, so here goes… #
• Slightly late day. Cool. Worst case direct dep aotopilots a 2nd week. Likely case it stops next one. #
• Best but unlikely case would be if there is provision for direct deposit to be oopsed & reversed despite freeze. #
• Ok, off to landlord, gas and store. Yay for end of week! #
• Nice to have $11 buy almost 6 gallons. Takes us at least to Wednesday, maybe Thurs AM. #
• Not sure when payday is next week. We work Turkey Day AM but not Friday AM. Xmas is 2 off days. #
• Wonder what I am forgetting I want or need at Stop & Shop… #
• Some cups of coffee are just doomed. #
• @Ithildyn Deb would love to learn spinning eventually. Copious spare time, yada yada,,, #
• Hot dogs didn’t fare well either, underheating because of the forgotten coffee mug in microwave with them. #
• Must get work gloves. Each day hand heal barely enough not to writhe voluminously when slinging work packages, then spend hours unusable. #
• The 2 days off give hands enough time to be almost human before abusing them again. #
• Silly children. Bath should not lead to anyone crying like that… #

• So unpredictable what kid will eat. Val barely tasted hers. Sadie had 2nds of chicken and butternut. #
• Time to go to bed. Except have to wash some dishes & put leftovers away & stuff first. And treat my hands. 10+ slices/gouges. Dry. Ouch. #
• Which means NOW it’s time to go to bed and hope 3 hrs is enough. Errands after work in AM so no morning nap to help out. #
• Really have to do something about my main computer dying. Can’t print with it off. Lack handy access to much of my info. Etc. #
• Trouble with being early is having to wait until 3 mins before start to punch in. #
• Absolute worst possible snafu happened this week. #
• If you say “do direct deposit” and then cancel it a day later when accpount is nfg, don’t expect it to happen. #
• The account I’d added for direct deposit, then deleted, was back when I checked. Deleted again & clearly gone but can’t trust it. #
• BigCo HR intranet loses its benefit if you have to call & talk to someone to be SURE a change happens. #
• Win2k machine has run for hours w/o shutting off abruptly… in safe mode. Hmmm… #
• I went out cold asleep for a couple hrs middle of day. Henry decided to nap with me. Must have needed it. Or as out cold as it gets… #
• Once you have the habit of “listen for kids” sleep you snap out of too easily from a sleep perspective but ideally as protective instinct. #
• Shoot, we got Wizbanged in Jay Tea’s swan song post on a day I posted nothing, not even anything lame. #
• OK, gotta cook. Both supper and Deb’s requested apple crisp. And maybe chili to have ready for tomorrow. #
• Bringing us bananas is a mean thing to do to Henry, who has to watch while girls Must Have Now. #

• Bedtime. Too soon, but so is alarm time. #
• Going to bed nfg if sleep evades you too long. #
• Early? What’s up with that? Hope I don’t freeze on the dock today. #
• Brrr! But I rocked. And I need to buy cheap work gloves, or find ones I may already have. #
• RomneyCare is a disaster in MA. Let’s scale it up nationally! Yay for pork in a poke. #
• Since I’m awake after my 1.5 hr AM nap, and there are no more open tabs to read but this one, I’ll start yesterday’s vital tasks. #
• If my ragged fingers can stand to do anything. Typing sure hurts. Gloves indeed. #
• Valerie is obsessed with cars and would like a pink one for Christmas. #
• Amused with workorders that offer $25/hr and are made of demanding and red tape and haugjhty buyer. #
• I really HATE the “want to nap, no play on your lap, no nap, no play and climb…” routine. #
• 15 month old celebrated 15 mos today by demoing limit to how much tomato soup is safe. #
• At least when following whatever element of trail mix he apparently got hands on this morning to pre-inflame. #
• Poor Henry. His eyes are so puffy he can barely open them. Mostly now he’s drugged & just woke. #

• I turned http://tinyurl.com/5h4z2t into invention of apple cranberry honey spice squares FTW. #
• I’ll have to make it again to get measurements and to tweak just slightly. It’s a great not-too-sweet item. #
• We ate half of the apple cranberry bar things already (9×13 pan). Henry thinks it’s Best Food Ever. 1.5 hrs late getting to bed. Or several. #
• Must sleep more. It’s affexting ability to do the job well. #
• Crashed as soon as I got home for 90 minutes+ of pretty good sleep. Freezing. Looks like I’m making apple crisp to warm place up. #
• Temp in here managed to drop to 60, which is the lowest we plan to have it be all winter. It borders on bearable. Need to winterize more. #
• Introduced kids to potato puffs ftw and Henry got a little relish on his tuna for 1st time. #
• Tuna salad for egg allergy boy I use a little canola oil instead, and spices maybe heavier than with mayo. #
• @robmay would be proud that I served Pop Tarts for desert. #
• Funny kids. Abandoned graham crackers in favor of grape tomatoes. Even Henry snagged one. #
• Having worst neck & shoulder pain that seems to flare and subside with severity of need to sleep. #
• Supper won’t happen timely if I manage to slip in a nap now despite kids. Whatever supper is going to be. #

• Step 1: Put greasy goop on hands so they’ll be better off in AM. Step 2: Remember you have to set alarms on cell phones. Oops. #
• Aside from the alarms being set for 1:55 and 2:10, 10 min snooze, drop dead out door time 3:00, shower & shave needed before I go (kids). #
• Didn’t get as much catch up sleep last night & before as I might have. None, really. Need to go from work to errands in AM, no sleep after. #
• Lack of sleep is no match for me… Bwah ha ha. #
• Now off to shopping. Yay. #
• Done shopping. Poor pantry. Small xmas or just cuz gifts for girls, buck each. #
• Miss Twitter way too much when it’s down and I want to make idle remarks, like about how I finally got boots for work & hope feet hurt less. #
• @sharone75 Maybe the producers told her to act speechless so they could have a compelling promo? #
• Freezing. Trying to decide what to put in oven. No more buns! They eventually turn 4 and think they’re semanticists. #
• Lemon squares sound good but don’t recall if recipe is allergy-free. Have to find it. #
• Yep. Lemon squares have eggs. Could probably sub the butter, not egg. Darn. Could make more apple crisp but boring. Hmmm… #
• I hate recipe site landing pages that come up in Google searches but don’t actually match pointedly. #
• @bhdonovan I’d assume all eggs for now. We still have to get him tested, but chicken eggs cause an identifiable, severe allergic reaction. #
• @bhdonovan We had ducks when I was little, so it’s possible I’ve eaten duck eggs and don’t know it. Mostly we had chickens. #
• Maybe I can adapt an eggless cookie recipe to make apple spice cookies. Quick, easy, and better if we owned viable cookie sheets. Right. #

• So much for the early bedtime. #
• @judis217 Flatulent dog that’s been out in the rain playing with Mr. Skunk, perhaps? #
• Appears Val may have a talent for throwing a well-aimed ball. Add the love of cars and maybe she’ll be the tomboy. #
• Trying to scan paperwork for bureaucracy and convince girls they’d like to go to sleep. Impromptu toss with Val just wound her up. #
• No way I should go to nbed this late after zombie-by-day routine. #

• @almightygod Shouldn’t there be only one, making for the world’s simplest table that even CSS could represent? #
• @almightygod After all, there can only be one Apple. :> #
• @phillymac Misread that as you’d had a meeting with death! Wondered for a sec what the close brush was. Meetings pretty bad too, though. #
• Fascinated that Henry’s cheeks turned red from eating apple crisp (assuming he didn’t get residual cheese same time). It’d mean a spice… #
• Which I’d been wondering about already. Cinnamon, nutmeg, a little ginger, negligible ground cloves. Nothing else could be issue. #

• Henry is clearly not drop dead allergic to cherry. Wasn’t keen on grape skins, even cooked soft. Not that I may know #
• If the reaction is slow, since he just ate part of a pumpkin donut Sadie was eating while he bathed. Milk. Eggs! #
• Mild, but he immediateky started scratching as if it made him itchy. Otoh it hasn’t been to unusual degree yet. #
• Had kids asleep before Deb got home! And me, sitting here with sleeping baby on my lap. Gotten good at holding on in my sleep. #
• Yep, tornado watch: http://tinyurl.com/5wkm4o #
• @johnhawkinsrwn Yep, that’s not as uncommon as you might expect. $90 is cheap, depending on depth of cleanup. #
• Trying to get the girls settled back down.. One would be asleep if not for the other. Looks like they will displace me. #
• I’m beyond sleepy. Lasted surprisingly well, but about an hour into could close eyes and be out cold territory. Val is wide awake. #
• @drjjoyner Happy birthday! #
• Cool pic? Or videogame skeleton creepy? http://www.wordydiva.com/?p=173 #
• Job 1 for today: getting fingers healed some before doing anything that aggravates them. Fits with making lists, computer stuff, dry work. #
• OTOH typing makes some of the fingers hurt/worsen… #
• Need sleep apparently, if after a relatively long night of it I can drop out cold sitting here & have to lay down. At which point… kids. #
• Also… who told the boy he could climb? NOTHING on my desk is safe anymore, at any height, unless I completely move everything around. #
• Anywho, plan was to make a list and start plowing through some stuff. Office cleanup moves to fore though. Fell asleep blasting The Who… #
• Following 3rd mug of coffee. Not promising. #
• Outside: 50.4. Inside: 75. Not in the warmest spot. This is why heat is not yet on. I’m suffocatingly hot. Long way to keeping it 62. #
• How long can I go on getting grumpier to the kids each day? When will they learn to read tone? Extrapolate logically? Sheesh. #
• @Shurakai Yep, doesn’t it? I’ve watched it several times and am most intrigued. #
• Where did the day go? Still have hours of work to do. Still feel like sleeping. Time to make supper to put kids on early bed trajectory. #
• Hope it sticks better tonight. Wish my right foot didn’t hurt & weren’t all swollen. Apparently unhappy from over a week ago - hurt toe. #
• At home, too, not at work. Could swear I broke it. #
• 3 Weeks in, and I get a raise after a month just for handling it that long. I still have to master the need to sleep & do other stuff but… #
• Really it’s not THAT bad. Intense, but brief. It’s cool being reshaped and muscled in the process. Anyway, time to cook… #
• @CaseySoftware We’d want to see it just for Quinto, even if it weren’t looking as well done as it is so far. #

• Still a bit late with the bedtime. #
• Longer day, like 3:49. Almost got to sort small packages part of shift. Oh well. Lot of incompatibles work instead. #
• Think I have trick for early bedtime figured out. Will try deploying today. Or not, since Monday is my next one. #
• Now to drop money to landlord and get home. #
• Kudos to Dunkin Donuts for their outstanding online ingredient & allergy info. #
• Darn! Missed a perfect workorder for Monday at same end user via same buyer as my last one. Lower $, but close & good people all around. #
• Baby was napping in office when it came in, while I did dishes. Nice progress there. Weird wearing “one size fits most” gloves for it. #
• At best I’m at the large end of the “fits all” spectrum. Makes for awkward and uncomfortable. #
• @gmtrojan Happy birthday! #
• @abigvictory Ha!! That’s the kind of thing I’d do, as Sadie especially is already learning at the tender age of 4. #
• About to serve kids Henry-safe chicken fried rice. Not the 4:30 supper pictured but still early. #
• Power outage. Kids. A match made in heck. Very hard on batteries. #
• Chicken fried rice was great. Served fruit cocktail on side, 1st time. Big hit…. #

• Tweetwalking. Since I am, you know, asleep. Otherwise I’d be starting to have the sensations and behaviors of one sleep-deprived. #
• @pixxiespaz Improved on the crisp by not packing brown sugar, almost doubling oatmeal, adding apples, letting mixture be lumpier… #
• @pixxiespaz going slightly light on nutmeg, adding heaping 1/4 tsp ginger, dash allspice, tiny pinch ground cloves. Cooking time goes long. #
• @pixxiespaz IIRC it did 1st time too, to be sure apples cooked well, but this time that didn’t overbrown the topping. OK, bed now, really. #
• Trying to figure how 3.x hrs a day by 5 days, where x usually .2 to .5, is 15.6 hrs total. #

• Where did my country go? I’d like it back please. #

• Hands beyond sore. Aquaphor helped a lot, but hate them feeling greasy. #
• Kids requested grilled cheese with tomato soup for lunch. Running awfully late. Not awake enough. #

• Torn between needing to do something to stay warm (sleeping under blankets is probably not an option there) & staying at computer. #
• Besides maybe apple crisp, wonder what to bake to warm place. #

• Mmmm… chicken burritos. #
• And the kids ate like crazy, which isn’t always so. #
• Should post about Henry’s food issue status. He eats blueberry preserves now, for instance. #
