RUMPLATIONS: Awesome Honky Tonk and Cyber Bar

‘Evening, folks. Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

I have zero Irish in me, but I’d still love a pint of Guinness and a shot of Jameson.

I almost went straight for the Irish Car Bombs. But the last time I started an evening like that, I was hung over for two days! Lesson learned. Sip, go slow, and go to bed before midnight. 😊

And Happy St. Paddy's Day hangover, one and all!

Today's offerings will orient that way.

First, caffeine:

We have Gothrider Coffee, "Guaranteed to Ignite Your Soul" it says here on the label.

And we've got Gold Label Yorkshire, plus Lipton Intense, Extra-Strong teas, with other, lesser teas available in the box.

Hot chocolate? Of course, with Mini-Mouse, er, marshmallows.

We've got extra sweet donuts this morning, and ham and cheese omelettes, with a side or three of bacon.

I know, I know – no one feels like eating, but greasy food is a way to calm that queasy stomach!

And I'll play some gentle MUZAK in the background, while you all try to find your eyeballs again.

BTW, do you know what Beartenders call St. Paddy's Day?

Amateur Night.

Take care out there, 'K?

Morning Bear

and y'all other revelers

btw perfect morning music and ham and cheese omelets too

I'll have a nice Irish coffee Bear thank you. ☘️

Chuckling here. It seems like you had a good time, Lion. 😊 Maybe a too good time! 🤣🤣😈

By the size of my tab, it seems like Kat had a good time too. 😜 I hope you are feeling better. 😘

A nice cool Diet Coke for me, Bear. Thank you. Not a cloud in the sky this morning, I'm planning to spend the afternoon in our hot tub. 😎

A few more photos from yesterday

We had my neighbor over for our annual St. Paddy's Day feast, although we were minus her husband this year, as he is in memory care. Kevin made corned beef, soda bread, and red potatoes, and my neighbor made cabbage and a lovely green cake. I brought the Guinness. (Sorry, David, I'll um... pay you back somehow...).

Feeling a bit irritated this morning that my two-hour penicillin testing appointment that was scheduled for April 16 (which was already a wait of three months) got cancelled because the tests are on back order. So, now I am on a wait list. I would bet money that my turn will come up while I'm traveling in Michigan in late May/early June. Grrrr...

It's always something.

My bloodwork came back off for some or another immunodeficiency...will need to wait for doc appt on April 14 to see what's what.

Soooo, I'm gonna grab a Coke Zero, head to my corner, and do some story modding. 😘

Congratulations Mr Ape for being one of the winners in the SS writing challenge!

Enjoy your winnings!

My wife complains that I’m reading too much on my iPhone. So trying to be sweet she got me a e-reader. What she doesn’t understand is that Lush isn’t available on a Kindle Paperwhite. 🤪🤪🤪

Thank you for running that challenge. Been rather sleepy over there since last comp. For those who don't go to SS and don't know what we are on about, here is my winning story, though I encourage you to give the whole thread a read. There's some good stories in there.

I have put my comp story on simmer for today. Maybe tomorrow, too. Got lots of time and I think it is close enough to being ready that I don't need to worry about time. Even if I dump this one and start from scratch, I have lots of time.

What else is going on? It is Friday so I am wrapping up the work week. Weather is so-so though not raining as much as they forecast. At least it isn't snow.

Eid Mubarak to any Muslims who may read this. And Happy Nowruz (Persian New Year) to those who observe it. The two happen to coincide this year.

Yorkshire Tea and one of the pastries (Danishes?) the Lion put out.

Wow. Must be Saturday. No action in close to 24 hours.

Lights on, give the place a light cleaning.

I will put some Blue Mountain in ole Bertha. There's Assam and Earl Grey in the teapots. Kettle is hot for other fine teas or hot chocolate.

Good morning!! What's up, doc's??

Major rewrite this morning. Was unhappy with some backstory I gave the protagonist so I rewrote probably four paragraphs. Debating the ending, too, though when I reread it, it still stuck the landing IMHO. It's ambiguous and I don't think that goes over well here, even if I like some ambiguity rather than tying things up with a neat ribbon.

Morning, Rumpies

Had another early morning hike with the deer. They were everywhere!

I had been overthinking my comp entry and finally just pulled the plug. My sister is doing really well now. That radical neck dissection is messy business, but she looks to be past it and now her surgeon says she’s cancer free. He sees no reason for radiation or chemo based on good results from lymph nodes. Yay! :)

I’m starting to get my stuff sorted now. Insurance is trying to deny coverage on a biopsy due to small size of nodule. Fuck that! I wanna know if ‘C’. Not just wait a year to see if it grew (and maybe spread).

Anyway, wishing you all a wondrous day! ❤️

Love those adorable deer faces!

Kimmi, get the damn biopsy done! And FIGHT the damn insurance company! You should be able to get it covered, especially since your twin has had cancer. Early detection saves lives. Don't let them dick you around!

I have started something that might develop into a comp story. IDK...

Coke Zero, please and thanks. I'm in mod mode.

That is wonderful news about your twin sister, Kimmi. 😊 And I do hope your insurance company pays up soon; from here, I don't see the argument for not paying out. 😳

It was also nice to see the deer photos, too. A cup of Yorkshire Tea, please, Bear. Thank you. 😎

Thank you, Kat and David! If my sister’s genetic test comes back positive, they said they’d cover the biopsy. So, I’m waiting for that result before I fight. Hopefully results next week.

Where did our Bearkeep wander off too? Snuck off on another seal hunt?

A few days ago he said the grandcub was visiting this weekend so I imagine he is busy teaching her the fine art of stalking pinnipeds.🐻‍❄️

Yes, it's true – we had the older granddaughter here for the weekend.

And the younger.

And their favourite game is … jump on GrandBear!

So GrandBear is ex–hausted!

I was going to teach them the finer points of seal hunting, but we forgot to stock the (now thawed) swimming pool with seals!

Excuse me – I'm going to retrieve a bottle of Jameson's, and wander back to collapse in Kimmi's Korner and see if I can find the bottom.

Of the bottle.

And where are your minds, folks???
