Jess, I'll find the crown and the jewels and shine the sceptre (ummm does that sound euphemistic or what?? ) and send 'em right up.

They'll be there by p805, surely.

[DingoGirl]

I've always wanted to be the type who would breezily throw a few clothes in a bag, sashay out the door and look oh-so-perfect no matter what came up. 'Cept, I'm not.

I hate those people.... My aunt is that way. Of course, she's been traveling the world, in her glamorous life, since her teens. You should SEE how she looks on a trip.....always the MOST perfect one there. Down to the precisely-selected jewels. HARRUMPH..............

<you can see I"m procrastinating......dear gawd.... >

Hey, I forgot to tell you guys--I polished my toenails for the first time this year! It's getting ever closer to sandal weather

excellent - - OMG - mine are NEVER without polish - year-round....egregious....

Sitting around on Friday night, chatting with friends... The only thing that could make it better is if we were all at that chalet in France.... with several bottles of wine.

Yes - where is that chalet and our lottery winnings????????????????????

[tom]

<you can see I"m procrastinating......dear gawd.... >

LOL get a grip Dingy! It's not like you're flying toMORROW!!!!!

Some of my post-soy trips to SJ I'd not actually START packing until 30-40min before LEAVING THE HOUSE!!!!

(I did make a list and gather up things like chargers tho)

Bah, band on a break when I arrive.

Guess I'm undeserving of the royal treatment now

Tom, I loooooove how you're always going out to see live music. There's nowhere around here that HAS live music.

Well, I take that back... there actually are a couple coffee shops in Mt. Airy that have live music sometimes. I need to get out more, sigh.

[tom]

OMG there really IS a Mt. Airy????

Somehow that name came to mind today (or was that yesterday) as it gets mentioned on the Andy Griffith Show.

I thought all the names are changed . .. .like Mt. Pilot is somethingorother similar.

Oops!! Band back!! And I'm in the FRONT row :bobeuckerface:

[Ridgewalker]

:lol:

Yeah, there really is a Mt. Airy! Or, as I like to call it, Mt.-Airy-Home-of-Andy-Griffith-Ain't-We-Somebody.

Well, that's one version of what I call it. Some of us who live just outside of Mt. Airy are of the opinion that Mt. Airians have a little bit of a 'tude. Also, they are all crazy drivers, and everything is just a tad bit more expensive there. My MIL and I like to go shopping in the historical district, though.

I never watched the show much. Do they call it Pilot Mountain in the show? That is where I live. (Used to be referred to as Mt. Pilot, back in the day.)

YAY, you put up a live shot of the band in your av. I get to live vicariously through you!

[Mtndog]

All hail Queen Jess !!!!!!!!! With all due respect Jess, i think your first edict may be to invade and claim the French Chalet as our castle!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tom would look quite smart in a soldier's uniform and the rest of us could probably kick some arse too!! Susie's got that Iroquois vSkull crusher!

BTW I think it was Gnikkeigh who doesn't know how babies are made. You know, the shooting absinthian ova, adn all.

Right....even in Catholic school we got to see the shooting ova but they took out the absinthe

I can explain to Nikki how babies are made

My daughter has lost another tooth today. The second one this week. Right after we got home, she asks my husband "you want to know why my mouth feels weird" and my son immediately responded with "because it's tired from you blabbering all the time" . . . he's feeling better.

Janet- Your son MUST be related to my husband...that is something he would say to me along with 'How about a nice, tall glass of shut the hell up?" Cracks me up every time!!!

Glad he's feeling better!

Well, they'd gotten the fire pretty much put out on our side, but now it's cresting the top and trying to come back over again. We've got a 20% chance of rain tomorrow though, that would help.

Maybe I'll go do a raindance out on the back deck!!! That would be fun.

Glad the phire is calming down. Absinthian nekkid fire fighter rain dance on your porch, you say? Tonight at 7? Getting in my car now :lol: It'll be Jess's coronation ball!!!!!

adn phecal matter on the remotes? :lol: (I watch too much Datline)

EWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always wanted to be the type who would breezily throw a few clothes in a bag, sashay out the door and look oh-so-perfect no matter what came up. 'Cept, I'm not.

Oh yes- I LOVE to travel but I always look a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sitting around on Friday night, chatting with friends... The only thing that could make it better is if we were all at that chalet in France.... with several bottles of wine.

Our new castle?

[elye]

BARI LUIS, Sillies of the New Kingdom!!

CONGRATS, QUEEN JESS I!!

We all may now just have to sprinkle the odd Armenian phrase into our discourse, as I have just managed to do, to honoUr our reigning monarch. I feel that Queen Jess needs to proclaim this as edict #164B: There Must be an Accompanying Little Quirk in our Use of Language, Idiom, Expressions, to Recognise the Current Royal Rep.

So, henceforth, for these 100 pages: Armenian, and mathS.....gaaaaahhhhhhhhh......

Oops!! Band back!! And I'm in the FRONT row :bobeuckerface:

Tom!! I cannot help but ask about this, and widely expose my ignorance.....are you referring to a man named Bob Eucker, who often makes facial expressions communicating great joy, or perhaps delight....? Or is his name Bo Beucker? Or are you referring to a euchre face, like a poker face--very neutral, divulging nothing of what is being felt?

Susie!! You fly out today!! Your name's on that bouquet, by the way...and I suspect that Kissey will snatch that garter out of the air in his teeth....

Lots of dads in the Sillyville air....thinking about your dad, Amanda.

Patti! How old is your dad? Is he nutty like mine? Does he become other people?

[Mtndog]

Hi Judy!!!!!!!!!!!

[Judyin Philly]

hi Bev

just catching and reading

judy

[blueeyedmanda]

and shine the sceptre (ummm does that sound euphemistic or what?? )

LOL--I got a good laugh out of that...reminds of something which would be said on Beavis and Butthead.... I watch that show every once and while for a laugh....

excellent - - OMG - mine are NEVER without polish - year-round....egregious....

Mine have polish during sandal months but during the winter my toes have socks and shoes on all the time....but April is almost here and I say by May I will be breaking out those sandals. This weekend I am putting away the majority of the winter stuff! No more skiing....today was the last day for that....

[psawyer]

Good morning, all!

Tom!! I cannot help but ask about this, and widely expose my ignorance.....are you referring to a man named Bob Eucker, who often makes facial expressions communicating great joy, or perhaps delight....? Or is his name Bo Beucker? Or are you referring to a euchre face, like a poker face--very neutral, divulging nothing of what is being felt?

It think he means Open Original Shared Link. Jokes about having the worst seat in the ball park were park of his shtick.

Another cold day here, but tomorrow it is expected to warm up and stay warm for several days. Meltdown, here we come.

[DingoGirl]

Well good morning my sillies.........

Just read a few posts and am chortling here. Bev's nekkid absinthine rain dance on Sarah's porch - shoot , if I didn't have to go to Vegas, I'd be there too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"a tall glass of shut the hell up" :lol:

and....Armenian AND mathS for our new reign?????????????? oh...........I must oppose this (the mathS part)

OMG sillies - - -I have decided that I'm no longer quite the gal that used to hurl her very rugged climbing backpack (the Lowe Alpine day-and-a-half pack, thank you veddy much) over her shoulder as the carry-on flight bag.........way too tomboyish...too purple....I"m SO much more girly now. So now - this morning I have to go to Target and TJ Maxx to find a carry-on that is more suitably chic.......gads.................the HEINOSITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and ohhhhhhhhh so menstrual........so whiny.......pinched back pain..................gads. Poor David.

:lol:

(no, not to worry sillies, I shall behave as any appropriate Silly would do. I shall throw back absinthe and speak of the Destruction of Ova in a MOST dignified manner - gah)

sillies - gotta phinish everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! carry on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jestgar]

Jess, I'll find the crown and the jewels and shine the sceptre (ummm does that sound euphemistic or what?? ) and send 'em right up.

They'll be there by p805, surely.

uh,Tom, the goal is to find someone else to shine the sceptre and crown the jewels....

All hail Queen Jess !!!!!!!!! With all due respect Jess, i think your first edict may be to invade and claim the French Chalet as our castle!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tom would look quite smart in a soldier's uniform and the rest of us could probably kick some arse too!! Susie's got that Iroquois vSkull crusher!

hhhmmm, 10-15 silies storming the entire french army? It'll require some planning.

We could get them all drunk on absinthe and then take over.

Or we could go to Mt Airy, drink the absinthe ourselves and talk each other into believing we're in a french chalet.

Glad the phire is calming down. Absinthian nekkid fire fighter rain dance on your porch, you say? Tonight at 7? Getting in my car now :lol: It'll be Jess's coronation ball!!!!!

Nekkid firefighters??? I'm there!!!

In the lobby of the building where I work they had a continuing education class for all the Seattle paramedics on the first Tuesday of every month. It was fondly known as 'fireman Tuesday' and all the women (and some of the men) found lots of excuses to walk through the lobby on those days.

[DingoGirl]

:lol: :lol:

excellent

[nikki-uk]

I don't usually like Western's ...but this Murphy/Lye confluence has me hooked!!!!!!

BTW I think it was Gnikkeigh who doesn't know how babies are made. You know, the shooting absinthian ova, adn all.

However, three children later, Gnikkeigh has it all sussed out

My daughter has lost another tooth today. The second one this week.

GADS!!...could be costly!!!

<does the toof phaerie fairy fly stateside???

so. y'all remember my rant from a few pages back about the woman I had to work next to who spent most of her time websurfing?

Really???

You should follow her example - and spend more time here

...Oh & CONGRATULATIONS (again ) QUEEN JESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I bring a bag of gluten-free cereal in my suitcase? will it get confiscated at the airport? will they think I"m carrying contraband?

GOOD QUESTION!!!! (am thinking of packing some for Al for his Florida trip)

Anyone know??

...part deux coming up......

[nikki-uk]

Part deux & I SEE YOU SUSIE!!!!!!!! (haven't y'all left yet??)

adn phecal matter on the remotes?

...people poo on remotes????? ....how uncouth

Oh I forgot, we decided to take Landen on the weekends for Jen. We start next week. I thought I would share since you guys knew how we were debating on it. I think it will work best for all of us.

Wow Amanda!!!!....wish you & John were MY neighboUrs when the kids were babies!!!!!

My dad went for a colonscopy today....he has been having blood in his stools, so if you guys can keep him in your thoughts that would be nice.

A done deal

I've always wanted to be the type who would breezily throw a few clothes in a bag, sashay out the door and look oh-so-perfect no matter what came up. 'Cept, I'm not.

OMG...me too!!!!

All I can say is that I alway's wear jeans on the journey as they don't crease easily

Hey, I forgot to tell you guys--I polished my toenails for the first time this year! It's getting ever closer to sandal weather

Not until May (waaay too cold to be baring 'em....still in thick socks )

[Darn210]

hhhmmm, 10-15 silies storming the entire french army? It'll require some planning.

Don't forget, Chuck Norris is at our beck and call!!!

I don't believe I've ever sashayed anywhere. Plus, now that the kids are gluten-free, I'm packing in rubbermaid tubs so I can bring food & strainers & such with me. There's no sashaying when you're luggin' a rubbermaid tote.

Janet- Your son MUST be related to my husband...that is something he would say to me along with 'How about a nice, tall glass of shut the hell up?" Cracks me up every time!!!

Love It!! I believe I shall add that to my repertoire.

uh,Tom, the goal is to find someone else to shine the sceptre and crown the jewels....

. . . And I add my congratulations to the pile for your new (and improved) reign!!

GADS!!...could be costly!!!

<does the toof phaerie fairy fly stateside???

Not bad yet . . . the first tooth she lost in the house somewhere within minutes of coming home from school. She wants to keep looking for it. The second, the tooth phare-eee forgot to come. Oops . . . may cost her some extra interest on the original price of the tooth!

[Darn210]

Hey, I know some of you guys don't like to leave this thread (Emily), but there's a gluten-free diabetic with a question at

Open Original Shared Link

and she's getting help from a nondiabetic . . . which could be right but maybe somebody with a little experience would be a better advisor.

[elye]

It think he means Open Original Shared Link. Jokes about having the worst seat in the ball park were park of his shtick.

Why, thank you, Oracle Peter.......!

and ohhhhhhhhh so menstrual........so whiny.......pinched back pain..................gads. Poor David.

Take care of yerself, Susie....pop an Advil gelcap for the menstrual stuff and the back pain (or two), and get ready for your party in Vegas.....

hhhmmm, 10-15 silies storming the entire french army? It'll require some planning.

We could get them all drunk on absinthe and then take over.

Yesssss.......they do make the best absinthe, mehears....

But ya know, absinthe gives a clearness of mind, a feeling of contentment and good humour (unless you're Ptaum's roomie), rather than the drunken confusion, lack of judgment and incapacitation of other alcohol. We may not have a challenging battle on our hands. The gendarmes may just find our attack quaintly amusing, worth pondering and discussing , and could simply step aside, allowing us entry into said chalet....they may need to search out a set of scales to do a head weigh-in....

...people poo on remotes????? ....how uncouth

Well, men never would....no chance to...they're too busy changing channels every thirty seconds....

I'm on it.......

What if I tell her to check the content of her running shoes, and suggest absinthe-sipping?!

[elye]

Auuuuugggggghhhh!!!!

Janet, you just sent me over there because there is a plethora of MATHS, didn't ya????

I get on the thread, all ready to impart my most serious, well-founded advice, and THIS is what I find:

If it were me, I'd add up the carbs and divide the total by the ratio of a single serving. In other words, if the total carbs in the recipe is 200 grams, and a serving is 1/12 of the cake, then 200/12 is your answer. You could use the same basic idea with the weight too I suppose. So if the cake weighs 1lb, and a serving is 2oz, then the answer is 200/8.

Gaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!! Get me outta there.......!!!!!!

Grumble grumble......must search for thread on insubordinate clause use....tell Janet she's needed on this new posting about mathematical glutening ratios.......

Actually, riceguy really knows his stuff. T'weren't nuttin' fer me to add....

[Jestgar]

Don't forget, Chuck Norris is at our beck and call!!!

oh yeah!! And a slightly deranged yeti (where is he by the way?)

We could initially distract them by asking them to compute the carb content of a coconut laden swallow.

Or calculate the average weight of a silly's head and refuse to have dealings with any gendarme who possess a lesser cabbage.

These are all terrific offensive ideas, Your Highness. Wow...we got a bonus, here--a queen who knows how to attack an opposing army!

So, we'll need our yeti, a bathroom scale, and a carb-counter. Ha!! They'll be SO unprepared, with their bayonets and semi-automatics....

[tom]

GAAAAAHHHHH!!!

:lol:

"Possessing Lesser Cabbage"!!!!

Did Chicken Butt Cooties do that one or was it a BadAss Snow Poodle composition??

More very soon .. . . ..couldn't wait on this LOL'g . . . .

Oh! Bob Eucker!! I remembered Lite Beer comm'ls where his line was "I'm in the FRONT row!", but I forgot that he was always a 1/4 mile up in the stands.

At my Poor House Bistro, the 2 front tables are just about never full, so the Euckerism I brought up doesn't fully apply.
