P790!!!

While I'm obviously in favor of repeat royalty, I'm making a proclamation against consecutive terms. :sternproclamatoryface:

<unscrolling scrolly-thing .. .. . oh . . ... .yeah . ...scroll>

If I end up at the top of p800, the 2nd poster shall ascend to the throne!

WoooHooo!!! Capitol proclamation, Yer Highness!! I got two shots at it this time....

Susie,

I didn't know you were heading to Vegas this weekend....how the heck did I miss that?

Sounds like a lot of fun, though

I missed this, too!!.........Must have been off weighing my head, or sumfin'.....

Ohhhhhh . . . it wasn't even all that long ago . . . you were probably all distracted by all the bridesmaid dress banter . . . twas even in the current monarch's reign.

OMG - David - should I tell them? (he's not here now so I can say whatever in hell I want - oh wait, I'd do that anyway..... )

We ARE in fact going to Vegas at end of March for a wedding......ha ha ha ah!!!!!!!!!!!!! now settle down, all ye mad sillies, 'tis for some good friends of his....alas, young Jenn is coming with us!! and it will be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo much fun........this is a shocker - I have never been to Vegas........... can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't remember the gum cigs . . . only the hard candy ones . . . there were gum cigars . . . perhaps because tom and susie are sooooo much older than I.

Sounds like a wolf geezer in whippersnapper's clothing!

I DO remember the gum cigars & meant to mention they had them at the store too!

Patti, I also remember only pastel colors, but not just pink/blue. (I too hadn't thought of the baby announcement side of things)

Skybar??? no recollection of that - maybe it was regional?

If not, it's probably 50/50 they have it at this store. Saw a bunch of things I didn't recognize that had to be from another era style-wise.

[jerseyangel]

Well I'll be! Completely missed it--thanks for going back and digging it up, Janet.

[DingoGirl]

POOPY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:angry:

JUST LOST MY WHOLE POST!!!!!!!! no control Z's, no magic triangle - NOTHING. Poof, the whole page was GONE.

BAH!!!!!!!!!!

well anywho, sillies, I have been coerced into going out, w/ Gail, who rarely makes appearances but got a wild hair.....she claims she is feelign her mortality today and has decided she wants to meet a man. Um, the bar where we're going - not a good hunting arena.

oh well, I may be gone for the coronation (oh you guys will NOT talk for nine freaking pages tonight, now will you? )

gotta go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll bet you do! Picture the package with a cross section of a bar that has 4 little separate flavor "compartments"--chocolate, peanut, caramel, and vanilla. Mark swears that when they first came out there were 5 flavors+coffee.

BAH!!!!!!!!!!

Holy kurrrrrrrrrWRAP Susie this happens to you far FAR FAR too often!!!!!!!!

Extraordinary measures MUST be taken!

Do you use Notepad at all currently?

I say start by opening Notepad, alt-tabbing back to browser, use <CNTL> A & <CNTL> C to swiftly "highlight all" and Copy, alt-tab back to notepad and <CNTL> V to Paste.

Your genius Kisseyboy should be able to make the entire process a one click macro, assigned to a new button on your browser's toolbar.

But unTIL then .. ...try it.

well anywho, sillies, I have been coerced into going out, w/ Gail, who rarely makes appearances but got a wild hair.....she claims she is feelign her mortality today and has decided she wants to meet a man.

My gahhhhhhhhhhhd, from where I'm sitting it all seems SO much easier for a woman.

(Yeah, yeah, maybe my FIRST problem is where I'm sitting)

[Ridgewalker]

Sarah, how much do you smoke? Y'know, if it's a pack a day, I think this should be your primary concern........and WE'RE HERE FOR YA!!!!!!

Erm... Lately I've been deliberately NOT keeping track of how much I smoke. Too scary. Yes, more than a pack a day.

[Mtndog]

OMG- a new coronation is almost upon us. I'm placing my bets on Nikki (cuz she's 7 hours ahead of us and 10 ahead of you californicators Californians OR Amanda and Em cuz they're up way before the rest of us lazy slugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Methinks sampled is the key word.

You must COMMIT to inviting the Phaerie in. Plan on 3 drinks or whatEVER it TAKES!!!!!

(Book an Elvis Chapel didja? )

:lol: Invite the faerie- embrace her..........let her live in you :P

You guys simply must go check this thread (sorry, sometimes I wander around whilst I'm waiting for someone to post) . . . check out SweetAmber32's av!!

And oh! I remember Skybars from when I was a kid! It was my FAVORITE candy bar as a child. There were still a couple drug stores in NY that carried them. Then when we moved to North Carolina, nobody had them. Bah.

[tom]

.....she claims she is feelign her mortality today and has decided she wants to meet a man.

Hehe hey wth if she's perfumeless, send 'er up 'ere

I'll bet you do! Picture the package with a cross section of a bar that has 4 little separate flavor "compartments"--chocolate, peanut, caramel, and vanilla. Mark swears that when they first came out there were 5 flavors+coffee.

Whoa!! I *DO* remember something just like that, but I'm pretty sure not Skybar.

The site says Skybar was introduced in 1938, but I remember a different compartment-bar as new in the early 70s.

The one I'm thinking of had 5 sections.

One was definitely fudge, in addition to another chocolatey segment.

ARRRRGH I can ALMOST remember the name. I know the wrapper was dark.

Often got them at the Mt. Prospect Theatre, uptown. (as opposed to downtown - that meant Chicago)

OMG this will be bugging me . .. I'm SO close to remembering the name!!!!!

And no good idea of what to google on!

[Ridgewalker]

Ok, I updated my av. It's kinda like a club jacket now. Where's Alex, make sure she knows!

[Darn210]

Sarah . . . I don't know . . . wth kind of captionizating is that?

[Ridgewalker]

Sarah . . . I don't know . . . wth kind of captionizating is that?

GAH! I just could not think of one single witty thing to write.

[Ridgewalker]

There, is that better? Sometimes I make my kids call me that

[Darn210]

New av (peer pressure, once again) . . . Will Ferrell will be back!!

OK, so whilst I was out googling "green phaerie", I found this Open Original Shared Link . . . almost became my av but I just couldn't pull the trigger on that one . . . what if she was a member of the forum??

That link was the first listing. The second listing led me to a little known thread called "Tickle Me Elbow" with a post from Ptaum!!!

[tom]

Ahhh-HA!! Got the other Skybar-type bar!

I can't believe I found it!!

It was the Seven Up Bar, w/ 7 segments, natch.

But I was wrong about all SORTS of things! It actually pre-dates the 7-Up drink, but in the 70s the candy company was bought by 7-Up and SHUT DOWN!!!!!

<new temporary av a Seven-up candy bar wrapper>

That store I visited also had Bullseyes (remember those? Caramel-y thick disk w/ a white total sugar center to look like an eye?) & wax lips!!

Awesome av BEV!!!

Remember where you found it? I should grab that one.

LMAO!! (I AM laughing a lot . ..I should go out somewheres)

[elye]

Ohhhhhh . . . it wasn't even all that long ago . . . you were probably all distracted by all the bridesmaid dress banter . . . twas even in the current monarch's reign.

What would we do without Janet, keeping us entertained with spectacular avatar creations, keeping track of past dates, engagements and travels...keeping her head above the madness......

Holy kurrrrrrrrrWRAP

Gaaaaaawwwwwwdddddd.......just this small piece of instruction hurts my little braaaaaiiiiinnnn....I'm afraid that CNTL, for me, means, quite simply, Cannot Negotiate Technical Lingo.......

Invite the faerie- embrace her..........let her live in you

Let her live in you......

This reminds me of something. Jack's teacher is putting together a big lesson plan for next month--it will involve history, geography and science. It is a section on the Guinea worm, a fascinating, but stomach-turning, parasite that resides in fetid water in parts of Africa and South America. We'll be creating a couple of big posters and slide shows, detailing how it enters the human body, and regrettably, how it leaves.... So, a warning....soon I may be imparting my new-found wisdom on this gross-me-out-the-door-but-its-kinda-cool subject. Okay, you've been warned.

Sarah, be strong. You can do this. I quit cold turkey. No patches. No gum. I decided to do it, and I did it. You can too. I'm really pulling for you on this one. Come join me in the non-smoking world. It is better here in so many ways.

Baaaahhhhh, heinousness of all heinousness! Our toilet totally overflowed today and the water was seeping through to the basement! Lots of cleaning up . I don't know why it happened. Pre-diagnosis days when the toilet was getting rather over used I might have understood but this was so random -- just flushed and up came a water volcano. As we were mopping up the water I was thinking about how horrible it would be to be glutened with a malfunctioning bathroom. This cleanup would have been a lot grosser, and possibly biohazardous had it occurred after/during a glutening.

I think I have learned my lesson that if it's yellow I should let it mellow.

Once when I was pre-celiac and got sick.....this happened to me and I had a very ugly nasty mess on the floor....gross~

Morning Sillies, Moving Day #2, I am the official computer mover and set-up/remove person so I have a lot to do today....yikes!

[elye]

Guten Morgen, Sillies!

Yesterday I spent....gulp....$150.00 on a new pair of running shoes. They are apparently comprised of the industry's most sophisticated technology for cushioning, support and streamlining.

It is hilarious, really--I am so far away from competitive running, but because my feet and ankles are hurting now when I jog or do a class, I immediately think that tossing money at the problem will solve things completely. Got nothing to do with the fact that I am now IN MY FORTIES, with joints that are reminding me of such....

I know that the two young salesmen were having a great guffaw as I left the sports store yesterday with my high-tech, lithium-plated, air-jetted and polyfoam-cushioned shoes under my arm. Guffawing and chortling...."Man....who 'she think she is, man? Some Olympian's MOTHER, maybe..."

Sigh...............

Sarah, be strong. You can do this. I quit cold turkey. No patches. No gum. I decided to do it, and I did it. You can too. I'm really pulling for you on this one. Come join me in the non-smoking world. It is better here in so many ways.

Yes, Sarah!!! My vote swings heavily this way, too... Do nothing else: put ALL of your energies into quitting smoking. It's the most important health matter you've got on your plate presently. Let the diet stuff happen later...just work on this.

Oracle Peter has spoken!

Baaaahhhhh, heinousness of all heinousness! Our toilet totally overflowed today and the water was seeping through to the basement! Lots of cleaning up .

Well, Alex...You're approaching 300 posts......

[blueeyedmanda]
