Wow, I never imagined 200 pages of...of...of whatever you might call this place that we fill with random acts of silly-ness. Congratulations to our very own Princess Bev-DAWG on proving that the world isn't flat...there is life after page 199. Hoo-Bah!
I didn't think I was hearing the twirling of tassels btw, my ears were ringing, but i didn't put 2 and 2 together until just moments ago...
For the tassels to sound at the pitch I was hearing, some tassel-twirler musta been rockin' the house! (that or the tassels need some oil ) or ball bearings...everything is ball bearings these days...
Bev, breaking through the 200 barrier is colossal. I believe that you should not be simply the Princess Sillak, but the Right Honorable QUEEN. We should take it to a vote. But when page 300 looms up ahead, your crown goes up for grabs. I am now officially tabling this motion. My fellow subjects?
Yes, p300 should coincide w/ a coup. (Which doesn't sound like soup, does it soup-sie? ) But I feel somewhat ineligible for the crown when the time comes. (Reminds me of my permanent non-voting status on OMG. Forever the suffragent) King Richard truly cannot be supplanted, and I'll pass on being Queen, regardless of my proximity to San Francisco. <tho I have been hit on more than a couple times. I'm not sure you ladies can know how disconcerting that is. At least unwanted advances in YOUR direction involve someone wanting to put something somewhere it's intended to be>
Perhaps if I'm blessed enough to turn the page to 300, there's a lordship vacancy?
I am very curious to know if anyone else, anywhere, pays attention and actually noticed when page 100 was hit, or is Tom alone in his hyper-observance? Man, I am very lucky if I notice new emails appearing, or the laundry baskets overflowing, or the smell of rotting food in the fridge...but those little page indicators turning?
LOL Emily, I just know because I'd gone back to try to gauge the ramp-up of the soy-free brain. The OMG thread proved more useful tho. My 1st TickleMe day was jun11 (Bbay of *both* brothers btw ), and I'd pretty much fully ramped by then. (Can't deny that reading back was hilarious the 2nd time thru also tho!! )
Annnnnnnnd let's see - my pocket makes a cool sound when email arrives; my laundry basket sits in plain view; I can - no kidding - smell about-to-rot food that won't even look or smell like rotting food for another DAY OR TWO!!!! (Happened at mom's - told her that her fridge had "something bad . ..cantaloupe maybe" and much later she was amazed I could know so soon.)

THis is a cute e-mail I got today, thought I'd share since so many here seem to be cat and/or dog lovers:
To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - nose height.
Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -- canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't. 2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture.) 3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people. 4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: In many ways, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less 2. Don't ask for money all the time 3 Are easier to train 4. Normally come when called 5. Never ask to drive the car 6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends 7. Don't smoke or drink 8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions 9. Don't want to wear your clothes 10. Don't need a "gazillion" dollars for college.
And finally, 11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.
For the tassels to sound at the pitch I was hearing, some tassel-twirler musta been rockin' the house! . . .
...OUCH!!!! ....I think a loose tassel flew off into my eye.......manic tassel twirling going on
Ahhhhh, so now we know who is the fairest twirler of them all.
Congratulations Queen Bev . . . (hey, we don't have to do what she tells us, do we? It's just honorary, right? She just gets to wave in parades and break bottles of champagne on Susie, I mean dinghies, I mean boats/ships, right?)

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
I taught my big boy cat to get his treats by standing up and taking off the edge of the counter, which is adorable, but it wasn't quite as cute when he reached up and put his big furry paw on my rice cake with cream cheese.
Okay actually it was pretty cute.

I love that Julie ! Well, I don't like to boast She drinks them first!!!! (then smashes them over Susie )
Ahhhhh I think I get it! Smashing a FULL unopened bottle on a dinghy( ) is a christening, but an appropriately opened and enJOYed bottle can only be a soozyening!!
P.S. BEV!!! I gotcha something at the airport. See new avatar for preview. (I'll leave it in the Gab/Chat lobby.)
P.P.S. I still gotta read p201!!! Such prolificity!!

Cute.... but not so cute if his feet have just come out of the kitty litter

Son diagnosed with Coeliac Disease Oct 2006 by biopsy (at age 13yrs)
Wow...this thread is developing into a palpable realm all its own...an empire with King, Queen, fifes, serfs and duchesses, many court jesters, (hmmmm...me....I could just be the slattern in the alehouse)....I think we should break into a huge virtual parade, with tassle-twirlers leading off, our Monarchs in fine livery, Lord Tom piping everyone in with his sax (could you manage something regal-sounding on a medieval hunting bugle, Lord Tom? Just for this event?) Tostito eaters and a fine yeti would bring up the rear. So regal...I wish we could parade all through Celiac.com! Just like the Santa Claus Parade, up and down all the threads and forums!!

11 year-old Son had negative blood panel, but went on gluten-free diet of his own volition to see if his concentration would improve, his temper abate, and his energy level would increase. Miraculous response!
