. .. and then whether the people who use sign language see little hands in their head when they think about what somebody said, or do they hear the words in their heads?

GAH!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!...the OMG thread 2 summers ago???

wish i'd been there. Read some last yr tho!! PhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuNNY!!!!

Phautauoumgmn!!!

:lol: THAT's gotta be a record!!!!!

The Crown of Superfluousity goes to thee!!

(Actually it's probably 3 or 4 nested crowns where one would suffice)

what in hell?????????????? a baked dingo brain is beyond miserable

:huh:

I couldn't beLIEVE I got this so wrong, so I searched

It's just that, I think I become slightly delirious and more - approachable, maybe? -

with an overcooked and wilted brain. Also maybe more giggly.

Wait. that isn't true. I"m always giggly. Does the baked brain make one GIDDY?

I guess I extrapolated too much from this.

NO DAMMIT!! I *swear* there was more on the plusses of a baked brain from you while I was hating ALL aspects of the Phoenix heat!

<confuzzled now>

My interesting-food free Edna is going quite well.

And effective as in still remarkably pain-free??

.. .. ..but I just bought this hat!

I always find this interesting . . . if I had to eat the same food everyday, would I be overweight? We always free-fed my dog Maggie. She always stayed the same weight. My vet complimented me on keeping her at her ideal weight. I told her that we free feed and she told me "Never mind" then she turned to Maggie and gave her a good neck rub and talked to her in a dog voice and complimented Her on keeping herself at her ideal weight. Now, Josie is a different story, she would just keep eating, even though it's the exact same thing every day. I have a feeling I'm a Josie and not a Maggie.

My guess is, if you were eating the same food as Josie, you would happily self-limit.

[Jestgar]

And effective as in still remarkably pain-free??

Even more pain-free. Far more motivating than something silly, like avoiding a heart attack or fitting into a size 2 (OK, not even my skeleton would fit into a size two, but you get the picture).

[Green12]

OMG - I have to go pick up a few things at Walmart - - and I am soooooooo askeert of what sorts of Hershey's products I'll come home with......haven't had nuggets in at least a month.......could easily eat a whole bag today.......

Nuggets

My interesting-food free Edna is going quite well. Have had a few breakdowns wherein I just couldn't stand it any more and ate some fruit (warning for TV munchers- don't choose a bag of prunes as your mindless eating companion ) but mostly I've been good. Just finished my mid-afternoon snack of a bell pepper.

Good job Jess

My Edna is also rolling along nicely, but there have been those moments where I'd rather just not eat than have something "allowed" again. I hear ya on that.

I'm lucky, in that I can eat fruit (except citrus), so I use that to calm my sweet tooth. I bought some nectarines yesterday that are heavenly. It's funny because I was never much for fruit--it always upset my stomach (or so I thought) so I got out of the habit of eating it. Now, I'm discovering fruit all over again.

I'm losing a little weight and the clothes are fitting looser-- blood pressure is also responding so I'm on the right track. I do firmly believe that my body does. not. like. grains. Any grains, really and truly. For me and my issues, the grain free diet (and very low sodium) seem to be the ticket

Gawd--that was more than ya'll wanted to know but once I got rolling........

Good for you too Patti

The nectarines sound yummy!

My edna has been in the crapper I have been eating whatever until I got my allergy test results back......which I just learned no gluten for sure, no gliadin containing grains, NOT even rice. So there will be no grains for me either

I've been doing great with the exercise part though, so at least there's progress there

[psawyer]

Emily, the new family member looks wonderful. She is all legs, isn't she? And you must tell us just how you managed to swing Will over to supporting Elsie.

I just bought this hat.

[jerseyangel]

I've been doing great with the exercise part though, so at least there's progress there

Kudos on the exercise!! That's where I always fall short

Sorry about the grains, but honestly I feel better in so many ways without them.

[elye]

She seems to be all legs. Does that fit with the rest of your family? Does she prefer wine-sicles to the more conventional way of consuming it?

Should have jammed a big stick in that wine bottle.....one mega-dreamsicle.....

Elsie does indeed look like a baby deer. All legs, in every direction.

[tom]

There's ELSIE!!!!!! Looking very content w/ a touch of "where's my HAIR?!!

I'm lucky, in that I can eat fruit (except citrus), so I use that to calm my sweet tooth. I bought some nectarines yesterday that are heavenly.

D'oh! I was thinking TANgerines at first!!

The first poodle that my mom and dad ever had always hid under the sofa for a couple of days after a scalping hair-cut

Heheheheheehee :lol: that sounds like ME as a little kid!!!! Mom was giving us buzzcuts but I wanted hippie-hair!

I think I won out by 2nd or 3rd grade, but before that didn't want to go out to play for a couple days after a haircut!!

<kids!>

Actually, we still haven't decided how on earth glue keeps from sticking to the inside of that bottle.....is it due to a TLR signal, Jess?

To me the REAL mystery is wth they're thinking in a movie when a very visible beaker contains an alleged invisibility potion

Jess said wine-sicles

I've been doing great with the exercise part though, so at least there's progress there

Yeah! Way to go!

[DingoGirl]

Purple glittery sparkly bats???

Good times, very good times

forgot to comment on this earlier............and yeah, that does about sum it up.....also dingos and auxigro-detecting geese protecting our cult-town-by-the-sea

I also find it curious that I times I know I could plow through an entire bag of chips, but couldn't possibly put one more nut in my mouth. Interesting to ponder if these are emotional eating cues, or preservative-enhanced eating cues.

very timely that you should mention this, Jess, as I have just returned from Walmart nugget-less, but with a half-eaten bag of barbecue potato chips. Why half-eaten, you ask? because that's what happened on the way home....................oyyyyyyyyyyyy.............help me...............and I'm having a Kissey-less night so - who's goign to stop me????????????????????

Such good news, Patti!!

My vet complimented me on keeping her at her ideal weight. I told her that we free feed and she told me "Never mind" then she turned to Maggie and gave her a good neck rub and talked to her in a dog voice and complimented Her on keeping herself at her ideal weight.

I don't understand dogs and their weight issues.......Weezee is on such a limited-quantity diet, and yet she is a big, fat, potato spud. Of course, she does have her hobbies, which include ravaging anything she can reach in the recycle bin, or snacks accidentally left around.......

You know, she has no interest in a bed. So funny.....she stretches out on the hardwood floor, and sighs contentedly. I think she's just so happy to be out of a crate...she was in one all night at her old home, and whenever she was alone in the house. There is absolutely NO need for this...she doesn't chew anything, she is totally house trained....

....And she's very thin. No Edna for this girl.....

SOOOOOOOOOOO happy she's with you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at her, she looks serene, relieved, relaxed, refreshed, and very, very leggy. She must be the happiest thing alive......................yay!

OK . . . I am compelled to comment on Peter the Oracle's av. Everyone's caption always goes with their picture . . . hence . . . it looks like the cat is the moderator!!!! . . . and he/she is watching us . . .

[elye]

Oh....all is so GOOD in Sillyville! Julie's gotten onto her treadmill, Patti and Jess are responding positively to their Ednas, Susie's got some chips, Ptaoughmn's haircut no longer finds him hiding under the dining room table.....all good.

It would be PERFECT if King Peter can tell us that he finished all of his parking lot line-painting...

[curlyfries]

Heheheheheehee :lol: that sounds like ME as a little kid!!!! Mom was giving us buzzcuts but I wanted hippie-hair!

Just the opposite of my DD, Briana. By age 5 she had long, thick, beautiful hair. But she was always bugging me to cut it short I would only cut a little and soon she'd be bugging me to cut more and more off. It wasn't until she was grown that she confessed to me that she would intentionally move while I was cutting so it would end up crooked and I would have to cut more to even it out

[jerseyangel]

It would be PERFECT if King Peter can tell us that he finished all of his parking lot line-painting...

Yes, life here is good

[psawyer]

OK . . . I am compelled to comment on Peter the Oracle's av. Everyone's caption always goes with their picture . . . hence . . . it looks like the cat is the moderator!!!! . . . and he/she is watching us . . .

She is Tuppence. We rescued her six years ago when she was 12 weeks old. I may be the king here in Sillyville, but at our house the cats rule. The males are 12 and 10 and are pretty relaxed. Tuppence is very demanding, and competes with three-year-old Riley for the role of Queen. Then there are two more females that live at our store.

The census by species:

Humans: 2

Cats: 6

Fish (Betta): 1

And, yes, you can be sure that Tuppence is watching.

[curlyfries]

......more of an unexpected onslaught of fluids. Plumbing leak, floods, someone wetting the bed, dog peeing on the floor, lots of snot/mucous.........we always just say that you should have your tarps handy......

Well....now I have a backed up kitchen sink......does that count?

[Darn210]

Heheheheheehee :lol: that sounds like ME as a little kid!!!! Mom was giving us buzzcuts but I wanted hippie-hair!

I think I won out by 2nd or 3rd grade, but before that didn't want to go out to play for a couple days after a haircut!!

<kids!>

Yep, my mom used to cut my fringe bangs when I was a kid. It would end up looking like this

/|||^||_|||\

And I was a statue, I tell ya', so it wasn't my fault!!!!

[psawyer]

It would be PERFECT if King Peter can tell us that he finished all of his parking lot line-painting...

Well, I did. It is a small lot, four spaces in all, perpendicular to the front wall. Five lines to paint using a roller on a long handle. The whole exercise, including watching it dry, took less than two hours.

[tom]

. .. It wasn't until she was grown that she confessed to me that she would intentionally move while I was cutting so it would end up crooked and I would have to cut more to even it out

:lol:

[psawyer]

It is a step in the right direction, and certainly less fuss than an overflowing toilet.

[Darn210]

Well....now I have a backed up kitchen sink......does that count?

Why Yes It Does!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! Now I have to ask . . . did you rig that yourself?? Stuff a whole potato down the drain? A sock?

[Darn210]

. . . including watching it dry . . .

Slow day at the store, Peter??

[curlyfries]

I probably should have used this quote, in case I confused anyone

Lisa, you want to make sure you have your own fluid onslaught (whatever it may be) and not let Emily end up owing you one because she got yours . . . Have you noticed her high post count? Her next big turnover will most likely require some sort of insurance mandated clean-up. You don't want that!!!! Keep yer own . . . even if you have to rig it . . . oops, I spilled a glass of milk on the floor . . . darn it, the ballcock is malfunctioning. I shall have to go to Lowes and buy a new one so the toilet doesn't keep running . . . believe me, it'll be worth it.

[curlyfries]

Why Yes It Does!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! Now I have to ask . . . did you rig that yourself?? Stuff a whole potato down the drain? A sock?

Actually, it wa a Thai Kitchen rice noodle dish that didn't turn out so good. Those suckers can get downright pasty

[psawyer]

Slow day at the store, Peter??

Well, early mornings are quiet. We started at 9:00 and all the paint was laid out by 10:30. I did watch for it to dry as I worked my way across the lot, moving the pylons, to make sure that at least two of the four spaces were usable at all times. The paint is specific for the purpose, and is touch dry in less than 30 minutes. It is latex based too, so cleaning up is a breeze.

[tom]

Well....now I have a backed up kitchen sink......does that count?

Perfect!!

A little late, ~ post 116. Little muss/fuss - I like Janet's idea. Better to rig a minor fluid mishap than leave it to the Fates.
