Think that dominatrix of Jess's may have had an expression like that....

you're assuming that wasn't really me

[tom]

Thanks for the condolences everyone.

At least all his kids are grown, I guess.

Have just watched a show on PBS about famous sandwiches in the US..........Philly cheesesteak, roast beef (French dip - I could DIE for one, thin-sliced beef on a soft roll, dipped in au jus ),

I think I've seen that one! French Dip segment is at the place that invented it? (Or so they say )

In L.A., on a corner I think. Wasn't the place called Frenchy's er sumfin?

<I was disappointed to learn a French Dip had no real ties to France>

I'm halfway to the nearby Farmers' Market.

Figured doing something is better than not.

Ken's memorial is Monday, but I might just go stop by his house today. I'd gotten to know a couple of the kids pretty well & his wife somewhat.

No more dominatrix avatar? LOL....it was an eye-catcher though. I need a nap, we ordered in lunch today and it is so rainy out....all I want is to lie down...think anyone would notice if I climbed under my desk???

[tom]

Oh....your chow has a black tongue, doesn't she? I haven't had many conversations with Mr. Chow, but I'm fairly certain his tongue is pink. So we can differenciate that way....

Makes me want to call your neighboUr P.T. Chow ( Pink Tongue)

....and the guy turned around and he was not my friend......I felt 2 inches tall!

D'oh!!

Tom, new av for you (and anyone else quitting)

Expected to at least get red bell peppers at the Farmers Mkt but there are NONE!!

No shortage of gluteny treats, breads, naan, knishes etc etc however.

Hehe another Seinfeldian moment.

Remember when George slept under the desk so much he had a carpenter install shelves and a spot for an alarm clock?

<tick tick tick>

Steinbrenner thought it was a bomb.

:lol: you totally beat me to it...........that's egg-zactly what I was thinkin......

P. T. Chow

[elye]

I saw Mr. Chow about an hour ago, as I was out with the dogs. A meeting between the two of us on the street is quite rare...almost like it was meant to happen, because as we chatted I stared fixedly at his mouth, squinting and trying to peer in to see his tongue. Eventually I realized that he had stopped talking, and was staring back at me, his brow furrowed, his mouth a little open. I needed to explain, so I told him that I wanted to be sure that he had a pink tongue. Then I pulled the dogs and continued down the street.

So, it is indeed P.T. Chow!

There's no fear of confusing him with this guy:

This is probably a good idea, Ptaoughmnm, if you feel it your heart. You should see them.

Hey all!! Remember my backed up kitchen sink? Yeah.....much bigger problem than I thought. I tried to unclog it myself.....always been able to before. (Didn't want to have to tell hubby I put too much down the disposal....again ) In my defense, it's been awhile since the last time. So.. had to tell DH and he worked on it last night----had to use a balloon thingy on the end of the hose....ended up drenching the kitchen. He gave up and took off work today to fix it. He was asleep when I got home....pipes are back together...I think I'll let him sleep Shhhhh.

Howdy Ho- Sillies!!!!!!!!! Sigh.....feeling poopy today.

Tom- I am SO sorry about your friend....he sounded like a wonderful person! You will be in my thoughts.

Bev, yes you must get your boob rash looked at immediately. I will say, I couldn't believe the number of ticks we ran across during our brief trip. I shall warn my friend K. to be sure and check her boobage area on a regular basis. Good Luck at the Doc's.

Boob successfully examined.....Unfortunately, this office can neither confirm or deny that this was indeed the bite of a pervert tick. However, we can disclose that according to our Defense Department , the antibiotic biological warfare will indeed cover any rogue bacteria!

(Why doesn't this make me feel any better?)

Tom, new av for you (and anyone else quitting)

I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!

OMGAWD- I want THAT one!!!!!! It's a cute little border collie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need a joke....got nuttin funny today...but someone else did:

LeeSa - yes, we change everybody's names.

The Tom/Ptauoghmn reminds me of my DD's name---Briana. Alot of people don't pronounce it right. Someone else gave their daughter the same name but solved the pronunciation problem by spelling it---B-R-E-A-U-G-H-N-N-A

One Question IQ Test

Here's a one-question IQ Test to help you decide how you should

spend the rest of your day......

There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush.

By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.

Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses,

how should he express himself?

answer to follow

hmm, I see I'm approaching a big post number. D'ya suppose it's possible to circumvent the disaster? If I, say, prophetically snake my kitchen sink, I won't get fluids?

Not a bad idea.

Pleased to report I did get the IQ test right, and didn't have to think for more than a couple of seconds.

Wait - what is WRONG wtih my brain today?

Bloody hot - going to be 103 if it isn't already......

I am pleased to introduce to you......Tinkerbell and Zeus!

Zeus' inner dialogue goes something like this....

Outside?...I was just out 8 hours ago...must stay with my pack....pack is in the house....what's that?...the toaster oven is on.....OMG.....can't you hear that?...make it stop!....why can't anybody else hear that??!!....let me out!!!!!!

[Mtndog]

Tee hee! i had to give up my driver's license over the blind guy and the shopkeeper!!!!! I kept thinking "well, hmm...what would Stevie Wonder do?"

Non-sequitir: My 78 yo dad has a bumper sticker on his car that says, "What would Scooby do?"

hmm, I see I'm approaching a big post number. D'ya suppose it's possible to circumvent the disaster? If I, say, prophetically snake my kitchen sink, I won't get fluids?

I believe you have so many posts that it is unavoidable. Let's just HOPE it's not bodily fluids!!!! With my luck, it will be (must check post # stat).

I am pleased to introduce to you......Tinkerbell and Zeus!

I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think I properly welcomed you either- WELCOME TO INSANITY! You'll fit right in!!!!!!!!

[curlyfries]

Hmmm....might have to change that pic..too dark, but it's the only one I have of both of them together

Thanks, I'm already feelin the luv!

Omg.....just got rid of the last of the guests..very fan-fu*@kin'-tastic dinner tonight - - a barbeque on our big back deck with my mom, dad, sister and brother-in-law. They all loved Elsie, and after we all solved the problem of glue sticking to the inside of the bottle and whether or not you can cry underwater, we all decided that, based on emminent behavior, Elsie was likely verbally and physically abused.

I know in her last home she was crated all night and through the day when no one was there (in other words, almost all the time), and she absolutely CRINGES at any raised voice....she will suddenly shake and look very frightened. I am SO sad when I see this, I cannot tell you. She has put on a bit of weight, but she was SO SKINNY. How can people do this...it turns my stomach. This is a work in progress - - my little sick girl, who we shall make better.

So.. had to tell DH and he worked on it last night----had to use a balloon thingy on the end of the hose....

Lisa!! That's a ballcock!!!! BALLCOCK SIGHTING!! BALLCOCK SIGHTING!!

OMG - - Lisa, you fit right in here....

Jess!! Pull out yer whip, put on the dominatrix outfit, and you can perhaps circumvent ANY sudden happenstance....

Um... methinks you can snake just about anything in that personna, yes?

We got Zeus from an animal shelter. He cringes, cowers, shakes and pants whenever DH watches football ( can't handle the yelling) Doesn't matter how much DH loves on him during the game. He's petrified as soon as he hears the pre-game announcers.

[DingoGirl]

I am pleased to introduce to you......Tinkerbell and Zeus!

Yay, more silly pets!!!!!!!! (Love Zeus's thoughts )

Emily - so glad you are taking such good care of Elsie, she must be in heaven.............love, food, freedom, water......I can't even THINK about those heinous cretins who had her before

Well clearly, the answer is, no more football....... <Pseu-pzey feeling so smugly happy that Kissey hates watching sports which means - that's right - NO BULLDOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: >

Officially adorable.

My sweet boys brought me another small dead thing. I guess I wasn't sufficiently appreciative of the last one, because this one they brought into my bedroom
