WMBP - now with more circles

In honor of All Souls Day, let's have a catching up type of Wednesday Morning Bullet Post.

• In Mexico, November 2nd is also known as the


Sent this ecard to
Number Guy this AM.


• Well, crud. There goes the idea of posting every day in November.



• On the plus side, the pressure is now off.



• I think I've become addicted to Thread Words.



• It is still a free download so go get your copy now. I'll wait.



• Well, it sure took you long enough to come back. I did warn you that it is addictive, right?



• The little circles in the game are a good way to segue into the next bullet point: today is



Look for Circles Day


• Wrote a note to Neatnik's teacher about Look for Circles Day.



• She sent back a thank you note saying what a great idea and that the children's journal entry for today will be on circles. Can't wait to hear what Neatnik writes about circles.



• Can you believe that Neatnik is now a Junior Girl Scout?



• Her troop is spending a lot of time this year working on their aMUSE Journey. Today's meeting activity is making "Role Model" dolls from pipe cleaners, yarn, and


buttons!


• Their troop leader is working towards her outdoor certification so that the girls can go camping. Neatnik is going to some of the workshops as well. In the first session, they will be making hamburgers over an open fire and learning about fire safety, so she will need a mess kit and dunk bag.



• I had an aluminum mess kit as a kid and can I tell you how much those things suck?



• If you didn't dry each item scrupulously as soon as you washed it, the aluminum pitted and everything tasted like it was wrapped in tin foil. Even if you did carefully wash and dry the cup, beverages all tasted like tin foil and when they served up that sticky bug juice, the cup was ruined for all eternity. The stupid pieces never nested and clipped together after the first time you opened it and the flimsy cutlery was a joke.



• I got the supplies form for the first session and it clearly stated

"You may pre-order a mess kit (for $6 each) from council if you don’t want to make your own."



• Make your own? Wicked brilliant!



• We recently were at a community day fair where Neatnik got a



Nice, new blue plate


• We have some plastic cups I got years ago at the grocery store for 50¢ each and small bowls which were three for a dollar at the Dollar$tore. A larger black bowl that originally held a pasta dish I scored for free on a promotion at the milk store rounded out the dishes requirement.



• There are a variety of thrift store spoons and forks in the kitchen drawer but I'll need to locate a butter knife. They usually sell cutlery at two or three for a dollar.



• Total cost for the mess kit will come to just over a buck. Thrifty, unique, and easily identifiable.



• Why did the programmer die in the shower?


He followed the instructions
on the shampoo bottle.
