Mr. Pumpy:

Hey slug! Not too bad. Somewhat settled in over at pop's. Sitting here and grading papers as I get my WoofMoo on. Things could be worse! I drove by my old house today and took pleasure in knowing I will never have to shovel that front walk or hear my inconsiderate tenants bowling with elephants upstairs again. Hope you are well.

@Mr. Pumpy -- oh cool! glad that moving in with your Dad is a GOOD thing! (yeah i grew up having to shovel snow every Winter -- the driveway and the front walk! -- so can totally *relate*) . . . and yup! working on stuff here too -- Woof Moo compliments perfectly :)

slugluv1313:

thanks! nothing "bad" happened to me -- but different instances of bad sh*t happened to others, and i found out after the fact (and not sure if i could have prevented anything if i had earlier knowledge) -- so it feels so much worse, than if any of this crap happened to me (if that makes any sense)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:25pm
Mr. Pumpy:

slug...this snowstorm that just blasted us on Thursday was the first time in my life I didn't have to shovel a thing and had my car in a garage. The association in chartge of the complex my dad lives in (well that I now live in) des everything. I'd be lying if I wasn't pleased to see how the other half live! Gotta take the good with the bad.
