ScrabbleYeti woohooo!!!

OMG....

Okay...Jack has another tough question for us all to debate.

Another choice to make:

You must choose either option, or you will be dead.

Would you rather have:

A small (but unproductive) butt on your forehead....

OR

Two little feet dangling from your chin?

OMGAWWWWWDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!! I can tell he is YOUR son!!!! Quite the family resemblence . . . so to speak!

Decisions, Decisions . . . like tom said, guarenteed to be called ButtHead but also think of the fun telling people to kiss your arse!

Speaking of fun . . . how about being able to buy tiny shoes for your tiny chinfeet that coordinate with your outfit . . . minnie versions of the shoes that you are currently wearing . . . oh, but the cost of wearing specialty made shoes and the pedicures . . . the butthead would be cheaper . . . hmmmm, I'll have to sleep on it . . . Oh and what about athlete's (chin)foot??

[DingoGirl]

I gotta take chinfeet over butthead.

Bet chinfoot toenails are hard to trim.

but.....a vestigial arse.......I dunno. It could get really flabby, start sagging, cellulite....other things....sweaty between teh cheeks on hot days..........

*snort*

that Jack, I tell ya. <shaking head> He is KOOKIER than his mother, I think........

I used the word "yetis" in an online Scrabble game with my best friend last night.

How quickly one can get behind in this thread.....

Was that stack of laughs here a minute ago--or have I completely lost my mind

Stack of Laughs, very fun to say, must sprinkle into conversation more often.

Patti, pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain with her stack of laughs

Sillies - - I was in a terrible vortex all day yesterday............and I'm emerging from it now....... I missed such hilarity!

Julie - - I just LOVED your ladybug analogy of - yesterday? Mentioned it to Kissey last night - - we had the most wonderful, long chat - - he could NOT have been more dear as I was gently crying over the paltry state of my life - and he agreed, I need a ladybug to come to me, I simply canNOT look for a job, pretty much ever again. It will have to come along, and Kissey has a lead about which I am most excited. Stay tuned.

Sorry about the not so great day yesterday Susie but I am so glad to hear you had a good talk with Kissey and that you were in a much better frame of mind today!

I'll be anxiously awaiting news about the new development with that job lead

Chinese Sillies......

Chillies!!

Well sillies.......a major portion of yesterday's dark vortex can be explained.

Got my period today, two days early..............

Psorry to our menfolk, Peter and Ptaum.

That explains a lot

Okay, here is the rest of the tale of the telecommunications mess in my life.

The infrastructure is old in this part of town, so another problem is not without possibility. Sunday morning a short developed in my line somewhere between the pole outside my store, and the telephone switching office about 1.5 miles south of me.

Peter, heinous! Hope it all gets ironed out soon.

Another choice to make:

You must choose either option, or you will be dead.

Would you rather have:

A small (but unproductive) butt on your forehead....

OR

Two little feet dangling from your chin?

Hmmm, I would have to choose the feet dangling from chin.

I don't want another butt (productive or not), that could potentially expand, and just think of the sanitary issues.

Mini feet would be easier to maintain, and gives new meaning to standing on your head.

[blueeyedmanda]

I used the word "yetis" in an online Scrabble game with my best friend last night.

and how many points did you get for that word? I hope alot, it was heniously creative!

Morning sillies...gosh darn legs are pretty sore from the walk Jen and I took last night. Still sleeping on my own too!!!!

Please keep positive thoughts for my new cubie mate Susan, she had been having bladder infections so they did a CT yesterday to rule out stones, and they found a growth (very large) on her one kidney, it takes up the entire half of her kidney. They are not sure if it is a cyst or tumor, she will have more tests very soon to find out. She is such a sweet woman.

A little background, about a year ago, this woman had been very tired and fatigued and at one point needed a transfusion and no one could ever pinpoint why....lots of tests were done including the pill camera and everything was fine....so this latest development is scary!

Carry on Sillies!

[elye]

Morning, All!

I have slept well, but I still remain uncertain about little hanging chin-feet vs. small forehead buttocks. I will ask the students this morning, and it will provide an opportunity for a lively, coloUrful and animated debate using some sound English vocabulary and likely the conditional tenses.

I gotta take chinfeet over butthead.

Bet chinfoot toenails are hard to trim.

Decisions, Decisions . . . like tom said, guarenteed to be called ButtHead but also think of the fun telling people to kiss your arse!

Oh and what about athlete's (chin)foot??

I know, I know...And apparently one dies if no choice is made!! Mygawd....must...make...a...choice....

Chin-feet = more expensive.....i.e., trimming, toenail maintenance, exfoliating, tiny footwear...Have to purchase those little sneakers you see in baby shops, I suppose.

However, you may want to put a pair of shorts on your tiny head-butt. And you would need to start having your hats custom-made to accommodate the little bum - - an added expense, to be sure.

Hmmmm.......athlete's face? cranial hemorroids?

I used the word "yetis" in an online Scrabble game with my best friend last night.

I actually used SCAT not long ago. Not a big ring-up of points, but it was a nice affectionate nod to us Sillies.....

"affectionate nod" Quite charming!

Well, I'm entering the butthead vs. dangling chin debate late.....are we allowed to cover the butt with bangs (fringe to you, Nikki )? That would affect my decision, although the fashion points of the dangling feet sound kinda interesting, too. Love the idea of the matching shoes--mine could have tiny Birkenstocks

[nikki-uk]

Morning sillies!!

..haves been mulling over the

Facial Arse vs Dangling chin feet dilemma

It could get really flabby, start sagging, cellulite....other things....sweaty between teh cheeks on hot days..........

That would affect my decision, although the fashion points of the dangling feet sound kinda interesting, too. Love the idea of the matching shoes--mine could have tiny Birkenstocks

Yep - it's gotta be chin feet methinks (although good idea on the fringe...well remembered Patti )

T'was the fashion aspects + cannot allow 'sweatybumcrackonface'

The ripper truly astounds me with his quizzical thinking (takes after his mother I'm sure )

Amanda - positive thoughts for friend

Peter (Oracle)....heinous dealings my friend - hope you get them all done today

Still chuckling over the Chillies (Chinese sillies)

Julie's stack of laughs

Carry on Wackl's

[Green12]

Good morn Sillies, tis a fantabulous spring day here!

Woke up and stretched next to the massive steel structure that is my new treadmill, thought that was another baby step towards actually getting on it

Please keep positive thoughts for my new cubie mate Susan, she had been having bladder infections so they did a CT yesterday to rule out stones, and they found a growth (very large) on her one kidney, it takes up the entire half of her kidney.

A little background, about a year ago, this woman had been very tired and fatigued and at one point needed a transfusion and no one could ever pinpoint why....lots of tests were done including the pill camera and everything was fine....so this latest development is scary!

Oh Amanda, your coworker will be in my thoughts!

[blueeyedmanda]

Well all I am escaping for lunch soon.... to the outside world so I can take in some sun...I's too pasty white now I need some tan, summer will be arriving shortly ya know!

So we got a hospital wide memo about internet usage so I may have to drastically cut back my time on here. I cannot listen to the radio on the net anymore....I miss listening to my buddy on the radio. His show is fun. We still email each other though so we can talk yet....but what if they take my silly vortex away....gee gads! what is a girl to do! do they expect me to work or something?????

[Jestgar]

I love that, not only do we get these totally unconventional questions posed by the ripper, but the people here take them seriously and actually explore all the possibilities.

I suppose the chin feet could be bejeweled, then you'd be like those guys that grow out scrawny beards and put beads on them.

For oraclePete's sake, next they'll be telling you that you can no longer bring alcohol to work!!!!

You can use your butthead crack to hold your pencil . . . you'll never lose your pencil again!!!

[jerseyangel]

You can use your butthead crack to hold your pencil . . . you'll never lose your pencil again!!!

Another thing to consider--is it to be a functioning butt? I mean, it can't really be hooked up to anything, if ya get my drift. Probably a lot easier to hide than the danglers.

Or use, as Janet suggested

I'm leaning towards the butt, myself.

[elye]

Amanda! Thinking about your cubie mate.....

That would affect my decision, although the fashion points of the dangling feet sound kinda interesting, too. Love the idea of the matching shoes--mine could have tiny Birkenstocks

TINY BIRKENSTOCKS.......!!

I did not clarify the fringe element with the Ripper...One supposes you would have to grow them extra long to cover the li'l bum. Then you'd perhaps just look cro-magnon...large brow ridge...hmmmmm....

Morning sillies!!

..haves been mulling over the

Facial Arse vs Dangling chin feet dilemma

T'was the fashion aspects + cannot allow 'sweatybumcrackonface'

Well.....it may actually be worse to have sweatyfeetonchin....

The ripper truly astounds me with his quizzical thinking ..

His school just doesn't know what to do with him at times, as you can imagine...especially since he has at least one parent who somewhat...encourages this kind of free thinking....

Well all I am escaping for lunch soon.... to the outside world so I can take in some sun...I's too pasty white now I need some tan, summer will be arriving shortly ya know!

Hey, it's a very good thing you do not have a small bum on your forehead, Amanda....you'd have to keep it covered to combat the UV rays, or have extra sunscreen on hand....

...but what if they take my silly vortex away....gee gads! what is a girl to do! do they expect me to work or something?????

You need to inform your boss of what we are currently debating. He/she will immediately realize the importance of incorporating such serious issues into your workday, and give you carte blanche to be here.

I love that, not only do we get these totally unconventional questions posed by the ripper, but the people here take them seriously and actually explore all the possibilities.

It did keep me up a bit last night....

Wouldn't it to everybody?

You can use your butthead crack to hold your pencil . . . you'll never lose your pencil again!!!

I've been considering exactly this - - the efficiency and usefulness that one could garner by using the butt crack as a holder. Not just pencils...your current paperback, your glasses (don't put them down and lose them anymore!), post-it messages...you need somewhere to put your sandwich while you pick up the phone....it just goes on and on.

Jack said right away that it would be a non-functioning bum. I believe his words were, "No poop or pee involved"....

Man....decisions, decisions! How in hell am I to get anything done today?!

[jerseyangel]

Jack said right away that it would be a non-functioning bum. I believe his words were, "No poop or pee involved"....

Oops--I musta forgot

Well, that makes things much easier, then.

[Jestgar]

His school just doesn't know what to do with him at times, as you can imagine...especially since he has at least one parent who somewhat...encourages this kind of free thinking....

?? Like we believe that :lol:

that sounds so scary, Amanda.......sending good thoughts.

Hmmmm.......athlete's face? cranial hemorroids?

WACKL - just look at the above paragraph from a newbie's eyes.......this is why they show up briefly, and then scram........or SCAT as it were

Em- - I've decided that you should take all these pages of discussion for each of Jack's new "Would You Rather" queries - - print them out - - assemble them into some kind of book for him....show it to his teachers - - or not

Woke up and stretched next to the massive steel structure that is my new treadmill, thought that was another baby step towards actually getting on it

isn't that exactly how you're supposed to use it? It's just a thing around which you do things - or upon which you hang things, right?

I love that, not only do we get these totally unconventional questions posed by the ripper, but the people here take them seriously and actually explore all the possibilities.

:lol: what does that say about US?

Okay......no poop or pee, but can it phart?

going to dye my hair now, sillies. Sick of hair issues. Alas, as my mother tells me, at least you HAVE HAIR. Janie is always good at offering the practical realities for which we must be thankful.

[Ridgewalker]

Just pooping in. I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to get my house cleaned. Ezra's b-day party is Saturday. My baby's turning 5! But my house is gross. I've been sick so much... and frankly, even when I'm not, I'm not reeeeally Miss My-House-Must-Be-Spotless-At-All-Times. But I'm trying to clean the grody bits, at least. (Currently, that would be nearly the whole house.)

I know I've missed a bunch, but I've read a couple pages here and there, and saw Jess's post about the dermatitis-- That sucks!!! And wait a sec. You can't cut out ALL carbs, can you? That just doesn't sound like a good idea, long term. I'm pretty sure they're necessary to be, like, alive or something.

Oh, kid update-- Lucas has a big fat sinus infection. You can't tell me these things don't run in families. We're living proof that they do. Ezra still has a weird rash on his face, and I'm starting to be concerned again. Having visions of the b-day party being ground-zero for a scarlet fever outbreak. Surely, that's just paranoia...

Ok, funny story:

A couple weeks ago, Mom and I found an awesome little Asian grocery store, and I stocked up on flours and some rice noodles. I also picked up a bag of something that I'd never heard of, but looked good, and the ingredients were in English. It said Hong Kong Preserved Lemon, and it has lemon, sugar, orange peel, licorice, etc.

So Lucas was with us, and all three of us tried some on the way home. Looks like little bits of squashed dates, and is reeeeally yummy. But Luke didn't like it.

So that afternoon, I bring that bag to Brian and tell him he has to try it, they're really good.

Brian: I ain't eatin' that!!!!

Me: Why not, they're good, you haven't even looked at one.

Brian: Well when Luke carried them in, I asked him what was in the bag. And he said, "Well I dunno, but they look like turds and they taste like turds." No thanks.

So I've been having to eat the whole bag myself.

[jerseyangel]

Sarah! Phunny turd story!

Don't work so hard on the house that you have a relapse--you're still recovering.

Hope Lucas feels mucho better so he can enjoy the party, and that Ezra's rash is just "one of those things" and nothing serious.

Glad you pooped in, though--I worry 'bout you

[nikki-uk]

Okay......no poop or pee, but can it phart?

Thus blowing yer fringe bangs? out of your eyes......very ingenious

Alas, as my mother tells me, at least you HAVE HAIR. Janie is always good at offering the practical realities for which we must be thankful.

Now that Janie has put it like that, I must concur that hair with grEy is preferable to no hair sans grEy

I'm not reeeeally Miss My-House-Must-Be-Spotless-At-All-Times. But I'm trying to clean the grody bits, at least. (Currently, that would be nearly the whole house.)

Women after me own 'eart

Please all stay well enough to enjoy it!!!......oh... and enjoy the rest of the turds

LiQUorice always has wheat flour in it here for some reason

Landen was up visiting in my office, Jen had to run in to drop something off. My coworkers fell in love with him. He is a darling.
