So, I was just on another thread and typed behavioUr...

I'm not even a regular on this thread, and I probably didn't even do it RIGHT, lol!

[blueeyedmanda]

We have too many Sillies MIA.

Poor Sarah & the infection affliction of Her Royal Offspring.

A Reign half over already and she hasn't been able to lord her sovereignty over us.

(heehee I don't think I used the words right but I like how it sounds )

OMG - a scary thought. what if.....what if Sarah just.....came to her senses maybe and.....got tired of us? oh banish the thought!!!!!!!!!!!!! I say we extend her reign.......

I know - many sillies absent. Bev's got the ague.....and where is Peter? working too hard, methinks......

[elye]

Did anybody else think . . . Of course Emily has someone's ashes in her closet . . . almost expected!!!!!

Gawd, I realize that this does not sound like it could possibly be true...old Aunt Rosie's ashes in our closet. But alas, it is. Hmmmm....although perhaps I give off the impression of being one who would have this kind of thing happening in my household. Gaaaaaadddd....

This summer! I've put my foot down! DH procrastinated about it all last year, didn't know where to put her, and it's illegal to just toss her, computer-like, out a car or house window. So she's going this summer!...Dunno where....

solipsism: a theory holding that the self can know nothing but its own modifications and that the self is the only existent thing; also : extreme egocentrism

my new faaaaaaaaaaaavorite word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heyy!! I've given Susie her new favorite word! I love the way it sounds...comes trippingly off the tongue. Really love the adjective..."That memoir is sooooo solipsistic".....

I have decided that I'm just going to use Emily's quote and not even try to come up with my own sentence . . . I had to go to dictionary.com to check the pronunciation . . . I don't want to sound like I don't know what I'm talking about!!!

OMG...but Janet, I haven't read the book...are you sure it is, in fact, solipsistic? I can just hear it now. One of your club members: "Uh, Janet....this book is not at all centred on the self. No navel-gazing, here. Are you just using large, sophisticated words to intimidate or simply impress us? Huh? Huh?"

absolute GLEE in Dingoland over this, yes!!!!!!!!!! Um, I think that is the FIRST word I've had to look up on this thread.....

My....it's not THAT special a word.......is it?

:lol:

Can't she be buried in the garden er sumfin? I mean.....who would know......

Yes, the computer and other technological equipment tosses really AREN"T legal.....um - can you guys GUESS the only two LEGAL things that can be tossed out of a car????????????

you can't, can you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's 1. water and 2. chicken feathers!!!!!!!!!!!! (so I was told by a CHP eejit I dated years ago)

OMG - Richard Branson on Ellen!!!!!!!! Nicola doesn't know that I am in LURVE w/ Richard Branson.......

where is Patti today?

OMG sillies.........the most miserable abdominal pain today......gluten-poop.......but the pain is getting WORSE as the day goes in instead of better, and I am to go out tonight. Might have been the tostadas at Taco Bell last night.......usually quite safe and no problems....

[elye]

Can't she be buried in the garden er sumfin? I mean.....who would know......

YES, she absolutely CAN. Legally, no. But who cares? Not planning on having any cops over for the burial. DH seems to have a problem with this...feels that she'll be pooped on and dug up by Gus and the cats (so what? She's rubble! Not like they're gonna dig up her face, or somefin').....And he seems to think it quite acceptable to leave her in with his oxfords and smelly runners...go figger.

Poor old Rose...DH's only aunt. She was a very English character....never married, no kids. Quite a loner, and quite eccentric...and her favorite relative was Will. Hence, the ashes were taken by us because no one else knew what to do with them. Well, neither do we. So, she'll go under our big chestnut tree out back.

Hey! Why don't we bury her with Nick the budgie, come spring in our schoolyard? I wonder if she'd like this...

[dlp252]

um, did you capitalize the U and everything? I think you TOTALLY did it right!!!!!!!!

Yes...capitalized the U and everything...caught it BEFORE I hit reply though, lol, but it made me snicker! Not quite a snort, but a snicker.

I think that it might actually be legal to spread ashes in Ontario as long as it's not in a public waterway. So the Rideau Canal is out but beyond that she can go wherever you want! (um . . . that may have been an inappropriate emoticon for the subject at hand )

Colin was up to playing a few low key Wii games today -- it totally wore him out but he was bordering on jovial at times! My dad gave me some roses from him and Colin for an early valentine's gift today and he made us a glorious gluten-free stir fry. It was lovely!

this strikes fear into Susie. I have no heirs......and now I am wondering if I'll spend eternity in such an equally ignoble manner, just sitting in some squalid closet of one of my nieces......

but then - oh wait.......I realized I'm not planning on being cremated. :lol: phew!

Yes...capitalized the U and everything...caught it BEFORE I hit reply though, lol, but it made me snicker! Not quite a snort, but a snicker.

the rest of the forum thinks we're MAD and it's quite fun

Ias bordering on jovial at times! My dad gave me some roses from him and Colin for an early valentine's gift today and he made us a glorious gluten-free stir fry. It was lovely!

so sweet!

[blueeyedmanda]

Oh Susie sorry to hear about the gluten poops....never fun!

[happygirl]

OMG sillies.........the most miserable abdominal pain today......gluten-poop.......but the pain is getting WORSE as the day goes in instead of better, and I am to go out tonight.

Susie, poor thiiiiiiiing! I hope you feel better!!!!!!! There is nothing worse then that. Hope it vanishes.

Might have been the tostadas at Taco Bell last night.......usually quite safe and no problems....

Did you really say that with a straight face and believe it? TB is my worst nightmare, gluten-wise. I think I get glutened driving by that place.

[Green12]

I've just been reading along, wanting to jump in several times, but not feeling particularly silly lately...

Susie, I the picture of Annie in your avatar, such a super model that one.

Something's Gotta Give is one of my top faves too, Jack Nicholson is so hysterical, and the scene in the hospital with his hospital gown on (and the backside shot), OMG that kills me!

Janet, have fun with your Book Club, hope the cake turned out ok

Nikki, you must give me some insight, why do people HATE Heather Mills with such a passion over there?

[elye]

I have no heirs......and now I am wondering if I'll spend eternity in such an equally ignoble manner, just sitting in some squalid closet of one of my nieces......

Well.......I wouldn't say our closet is exactly....squalid, now.

Actually, I'm feeling quite guilty about it all since we've been speaking about it. I'm looking around the house, trying to spot a place we could put this urn. Doesn't go with anything...

Okay. I will assuage my guilt by cleaning up our closet. Very good.

[blueeyedmanda]

I like Heather Mills. I loved her on Dancing with the Stars last year. Is it because she is divorcing Paul?

[tom]

.....um - can you guys GUESS the only two LEGAL things that can be tossed out of a car????????????

you can't, can you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's 1. water and 2. chicken feathers!!!!!!!!!!!! (so I was told by a CHP eejit I dated years ago)

Awwww you didn't let us guess!!!!

I would've gone w/ boogers & transgendered hookers.

Why do I think you met him during a Moving Violation & the date was more of a 'moving his lips' violation?

I have heard of the chicken feathers thing.

Taco Bell

I can barely believe you eat there, yet were shying away from El Pollo Loco.

(mmmm now I want ElPollo!)

[elye]

OH! Exciting update!! It's the end of her fourth day, and Michelle's moved up to fourth place!

[jerseyangel]

Good evening Sillies! Ah--busy day with new words, book clubs and flying chicken feathers....Susie, do you really eat at Taco Bell? Sorry about the ab cramping--heinoUs

Well, a decision has been made.....(drumroll)....I'm going with an electric stove! I know you've been on the edge of your T seats so I wanted to let you know

Tom--it's the nice flat topped kind

Donna--your capital U We're growing on you--admit it

Alex--how sweet of your dad

Other's reading our silliness

[blueeyedmanda]

Hi Patti! I was wondering what you were up to today, good thing you made your choice, it will be back to regular meals again soon.

[Green12]

I like Heather Mills. I loved her on Dancing with the Stars last year. Is it because she is divorcing Paul?

I guess so

I like her too, she was lovely on DWTS and over the years I have seen her on Larry King talking about the different causes that she supports (land mines, saving the baby seals, animal rights, etc), she seemed/seems to be a genuine person.

Patti, good decision! I am sure you are relieved to have made it so all can get back to normal in your kitchen

Emily, this makes me sound like an idiot, but what exactly is the Yukon race your SIL is in??

[blueeyedmanda]

Is the Yukon race a dog-sledding thing?

Morning Sillies!!!! Happy Valentines Day to all my loves.

[elye]

Good Morrrrrnin' Sillies!

Well, methinks we may lose an inch or two of this heinous snow today...bright sun and above zero. Fingers crossed.....

Well, a decision has been made.....(drumroll)....I'm going with an electric stove! I know you've been on the edge of your T seats so I wanted to let you know

Tom--it's the nice flat topped kind

That's exactly my stove, Patti. It's been great. All of your cookware has to be completely flat on the bottom, however, or they will heat unevenly and will wobble back and forth quite maddenly. Dunno if I've come up with any culinary masterpieces using it, but this surely has more to do with ME than the stove itself.

I like her too, she was lovely on DWTS and over the years I have seen her on Larry King talking about the different causes that she supports (land mines, saving the baby seals, animal rights, etc), she seemed/seems to be a genuine person.

OMG.........

I did not want to mention my take on Ms. Mills, but I just cannot help myself at this point.....gaaaaaahhhhhhhh.....misinformed, combative, immature, at times imbecilic....

(catching breath).... We are not to dally in political fodder here, so I shan't elaborate, I'll just say that she made an absolute FOOL of herself on Larry King and everywhere else in the press, where Premier Danny Williams tore her to shreds over every fact she falsified and butchered. Boy, did they need to do their homework before taking on the seal hunt. She and Paul were right out of their league....

Pardon me!! Back to silliness:

Emily, this makes me sound like an idiot, but what exactly is the Yukon race your SIL is in??

Oh!! SO exciting!! This is the longest, most gruelling race in the world...makes the Iditerod look like a stroll in the park. Year-'round training, millions of dollars in corporate sponsorships, and big money for crossing the line first. Very few women have attempted this Sisyphean feat, and I believe Michelle was the first woman to crack the top ten, last year. She did it in thirteen days.....that's in 21 hours of darkness, -40, over mountain passes and across frozen lakes, with just her and her soul mates--her fourteen beautiful huskies. Unimaginable!
