[curlyfries]

um, ahem, I WOULD like to point out that the math-hating lefties ARE in the majority here.

Seein as how lefties are special because they are the minority, I think we can conclude that math LOVING lefties are even more special

Math is kewl!!!

[psawyer]

although I don't know if I can claim full residency here, just for the record, I am:

-right handed

-and my hair can be all. Curly, wavy, and straight.

Laura, we right handed folks need to stay together. Sillyville is for everybody.

Yes, but should we be calling her . . . permedinducedcurlyfries?

[tom]

I was almost afraid to admit that I love math, for fear that I might actually be saying something embarrassing! Whew!

I think mathy thoughts FAR more than needed. We have Janet & Jess on our side btw. (Did I miss someone?)

Isn't there a Sillyville Local Ordinance to embrace embarrassment??

Math is kewl!!!

[nikki-uk]

Unbridled grEy frizz, Mathy mathS and curly lefties!!!!!!!!

I have MUCH to comment on !!!!!....but (damn!) got fings to do

...don't you just hate it when real life gets in the way of our silly conflabs

I'LL BE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies.....tis a brighter day today! Jen's eye is better and we actually took a walk last night....a very long walk....my legs are still a wee bit tired today. John is so/so. Turns out his tooth is a root canal that didnt take or something...crazy! Well its back to the grind I will poop in later and talk to you all.

As for math....I need to let you all know I cannot count to save my life....scary aint it? I tried to tell my buddies in the cafeteria the other day that I couldnt count and they didnt believe me....I guess they thought I was joking which I was NOT! I am a very good speller and proof-reader....ask me to do some simple equations or conversions....might as well ask an infant.

Morning, Sillies!

Elsie is sitting with her beautiful white head on my lap. Gus is lying across the room, staring quietly at her, still, I'm sure, trying to figure out what in hell's going on....

A couple of accidents yesterday (three)...so our girl is not completely housebroken yet. I think that she spent so much time in a crate before that she needs to learn what being in the real, big world, involves. I'm sure it'll take some time...

King Peter hath spoken!!

Peter, can you do something about yearly pap smears?

If not, King Peter will be on it.

Morning, Amanda! I remain exactly the same way, and I've just realized that this must be due to our shared brain.....

[nikki-uk]

I had a thought about the quicksand one, you know you don't hear so much about quicksand anymore. It used to be in a movie or two, and several tv shows...oh, it's the dreaded quicksand, however will they get out....... but no, not so much anymore.

The quicksand would like to apologise for it's absence...it had retired BUT agreed to do a one off episode on 'Dr Who' (shown last Saturday eve)

It dutifully devoured a 'fish monster/creature' with great aplomb.

Righty here. Strongly Right-eyed even

Right eyed

WHAT? now she tells us......it's FAKE curly.......well this throws off our scientific "accuracy" quite a bit

So, Lisa is a phake curly but a genuine lefty with a penchant for mathS????

Reminds me of an epiphany I once had (have I told you guys this already? ), driving on highway 152 through Los Banos (Tom may know this most BORING, long, flat, endless heinous stretch of ugly road through flat, stinky dairy and farmlands - miles of literally nothing) and left alone w/ my dingo thoughts.......I glanced over into a car next to me and saw this lady, maybe in her sixties.....she had solid white hair, forming a frizzy, puffball halo 'round her head, 'twas perhaps two inches in length.

And - this thought flashed into my mind: at what point do we just give up, just let our hair revert to its hideous, willful, default state? At what point do we just give into our slovenly old age, quash our vanity.....quit the coloUr, the styling, the blow-drying, the products, all of it, and let it GO? Let it turn solid gray/white, spazz out, go its own way.........

THIS cracks me up

Is Pseuzee phunnier when glutened????

YES, when??? .....at least us curlies will NOT need a perm for the shampoo and set

Can you stop shaving yer legs and grow a full beard (with side burns)?? ...Is that allowed??? ...maybe only in England

Do I get to wear a headscarf???......stockings (not sexy-think American tan)...and OMG!!!!...will I be a fat or a skinny old lady???? (they only come in 2 varieties)

<I think I'm going to be fat >

GADS!!!! ...I can't WAIT to be freed from this hellish vain obsessed beautimousness

Can't wait until Nicola arises and puts in her tuppence about all of this

My tuppence worth......how terribly British!!!!!

Struggled and hated my hair as a child.

Was teased mercilessly at school......'fuzzy bear' and similar names were bandied about.

Mummy said ''You will appreciate when you are older''

Mummy was right

I LAUGH in the face of the teasers!!! HA!!!!!!!!!

I do sometimes long for silky straight tresses........I am stuck with the same look......and WHEN do I have to stop having long hair????

Mygawd, it is a minefield nest-ce-pas????

The lefty thing - I think most of us are a tad ambidextrous as we HAVE to be in this 'righty' world

I have always known however that 'we' are superior beings!!!

so sweet of you to say, Paddeigh,

Paddeigh

Gotta go again!

[Daxin]

Morning all. No funny stories this morning...just enjoying a rare day off from work and my second cup of coffee, and watching our puppy 'zoom' around out yard like a crazy person.

Hope everyone has a great day!

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning, Amanda! I remain exactly the same way, and I've just realized that this must be due to our shared brain.....

probably the answer Em! I never even thought of that....I am in need of the brain this week....work has been on overload...

[elye]

Right eyed

I absolutely am, as well. My right eye is very dominant. Much like Gus is very dominant. Hmmm....an interesting parallel of which I cannot spin anything, phunny or otherwise....

...at least us curlies will NOT need a perm for the shampoo and set

<I think I'm going to be fat >

Nikki! I ponder these things, as well. You can get a pretty good idea, usually, by taking a good long look at both of your parents. I believe I am, at least physically, a fairly equal combination of them both. It's an exercise that I do not do very often....it is a sad place to visit....

I LAUGH in the face of the teasers!!! HA!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you do! Nikki, I absolutely luuuuurrrrrrve your crazy, wanton tresses. I covet them...

Morning all. No funny stories this morning...just enjoying a rare day off from work and my second cup of coffee, and watching our puppy 'zoom' around out yard like a crazy person.

Ryan!! You simply cannot stride into Sillyville with a short post about having a new puppy WITHOUT telling us anything about him/her! Name? Age? Breed? Where have you put her bed? And, MOST importantly - - where is the av of her?!

probably the answer Em! I never even thought of that....I am in need of the brain this week....work has been on overload...

You got it, Amanda. The students are doing review things, and I don't need to be thinking much to be runnin' wif ma dogs.....

[jerseyangel]

Hi Sillies

Just returned from my bi-weekly (is that the right term for twice a week?) Chiropractic appointment. Feels good

Yes Ryan, you need to tell us more--and for goodness sake.....pop in more often!

Emily and Amanda's shared brain Never gets old!

Ain't got much else.....Nikki, I was teased about my curly hair as a child, too. Mine was fuzzy, out of control and the bane of my very existence As a teen, I tried ironing it, rolling it on soup cans at night and slathering it with Dippity Do (an early hair gel--very goopy) and wrapping around my head overnight. I have to say it's been nice having straight hair for the last couple of years--I always wanted it and got it. Now, I think I can move on

[blueeyedmanda]

Pretty soon this silly is hiding under her desk....I got 3 new patients today in an hour!!!! And there are 2 waiting to be registered to my studies. My desk is piled with charts....I dont know where to start either....

Landen is spending the night tonight since Jen got called into work.

To me this implies on two legs.

P.S. I enjoy Susie's Hwy152 dandelion-head lady story nearly as much the 2nd time as the first. No use worrying about whether this or that's been said before.

<and I really like saying dandelion-head lady>

P.P.S. So .. ...I thought I was going to quit cigs again - and for good - upon returning from Reno, but was having a crappy Monday and since I knew quitting would mean at LEAST 5 tough days (and maybe 2 wks or more?) I just wanted to have a few good days first.

Is that too much to ask????

Now it's more than 2 wks later & I'm still waiting for a few good days.

Hmmmm not much of a point to this P.P.S., tho it's made me think that if I DID quit on apr28th, I'd probably already be over the crappy part.

<waaaaaaaaaaaaa i like shmokin' too much>

Jeez, Amanda....Thank goodness you've got the brain this week!!

Jack's next query is most interesting: He wants to know who the most interesting character is when you google your own name. He came up with a couple of lawyers, a cardiologist in London, but the most memorable for him is his namesake who is a professional (it is a profession - - who knew?) shepherd in Wales, and is part of a large shepherding-type networking website.

Nothing exciting fer me - - only a handful that match my exact name, and most of them are Australian...one's a sculptor....

I wanna meet this shepherd!

I've found a dominatrix and a porn star (Googling first name only)

Ptaougthmnhmn...sorry about this rough patch for you. How frustrating things must be to have a day or two of almost-normalness, and you want to dare the thought that you might be on a roll, and then have a crappy run afterward. One lives in hope......

Um.......My first suspicion, and to suggest it may cause you to roll yer eyes as it's something you have perhaps often thought, is that the cigarettes themselves are a big (the main?) part of why you go days feeling crappy. You are constantly reacting to them, perhaps subclinically, as you react to so many other outside agents. If this is the case, won't you be waiting for-bleedin'-evah for a few good days to quit? Just thinking aloud.....

Gad, I feel for you, Ptaouytghmhnkhm...thank god I got off those things early in life....

An apparently pricey dominatrix

With the luxury of several fully equipped dungeons and areas for psychodramas, I am equipped to take on all comers. My ground level dungeon is equipped with a vast array of furniture that will challenge the tastes of my most discriminating of "guests". I know you will enjoy the 4000 sq. ft. space including 22 pieces of bondage furniture made with the finest craftsmanship

LOL! Thats my secret calling I am sure!

Classy...

[Darn210]

As a teen, I tried ironing it, rolling it on soup cans at night and slathering it with Dippity Do (an early hair gel--very goopy) and wrapping around my head overnight.

I remember Dippity Do . . . Do they still make that?? My mom use to put my hair in pin curls and she always used Dippity Do . . . it was torture at the time (had to sit still) but what a fond memory, now . . . Thanks, Pat-tee

[Darn210]

I remember Dippity Do . . . Do they still make that??

OK, I had to go check . . . Yes, they do still make it. Found some at Amazon. Jar looks different . . . Imagine that, it's only been 37 years.

Yes, apparently the still make it....Lame Advertisement has it.

Look at this--

Couldn't find the one where they used it to straighten

[jerseyangel]

OMG--I just got lame-advertisement'ed!!!!

[elye]

I'll bet that Dippity-Doo is also a must-have for our accommodating dominatrix who seems driven to corner the market....

Hey, if it can hold short hair in place like we saw, hell, imagine what else it could do?
