Gad....I thought we were talkin' about some guy named Telemarketer or Telephonic.

"Hi, I'm Nikki, and this is my husband, Teleprompter. For obvious reasons, he's known as 'Tel'".....

I suppose that's better than 'Prom'

[DingoGirl]

You know, I should have thought of this....should have suspected...I saw her spreading a truckload of mulch in her backyard yesterday. I also saw her leaving her house on the weekend in full Cub Scout regalia.. ..

And lately, she has had a Silly look in her eye.....

...her left one - - the right was squinting with allergic tears.....

:lol: mad

(I also don't get how Terry gets shortened to Tel )

I know - and Nicola finks we're odd for not getting it......

um - in this country - do we shorten Terry? I guess.........Ter........would be logical.....

Ptaum - I can't get into the beer as a summer beverage - always felt so sick after drinking it (which was phrequently in my youth ) and of course now we know why.....gotta have something sparkling, fruity, adn delicious............

Well JUST WTH do you twangy pholks shorten 'Terry' to then???

twangy pholks

Um - Amanda - that evil Merck woman - - you can also THROW the yeti scat at her!!!!!! Known to banish evil spirits forever.

Bev - I'll see you at Nepenthe tomorrow aft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Jess's Kitty Palace all settling in.......am in love wif Lefty......

Sillies - got nowt else - forgot all of it, if there was any........quite "off" today - - meltdown whist trying to finish a necklace - project not working and I burst into tears....... and NO, not PMS - - apparently it's just my rotten personality - -

[tom]

Well JUST WTH do you twangy pholks shorten 'Terry' to then???

<we've been called twangy!!>

Wondering how many nicknames have nicknames .. . .isn't Terry short for Terrence?

Terry to Tel = Nikki to Nid??

(By simple arithmetic shift fyi)

.....gotta have something sparkling, fruity, adn delicious............

Hmmmmmmmm invent Lazy Mojitos then?

Syrup? Bah, just sugar.

Muddling mint leaves? Pffft just chew a minty gum and spit in the glass .. . . or . . . . does toothpaste dissolve? Maybe dunk an Altoid a few times? (don't pretend they're not always handy!!! )

OH! OH! (which reminds me, foreshadowingly, where's ~alex~ ???)

A fine summertime libation is a Cape Cod!!

[jerseyangel]

OH! OH! (which reminds me, foreshadowingly, where's ~alex~ ???)

Yes, where IS Alex

Susie! Do you sell the jewellery that you make? You often seem to be working on something... .

What's going on in Kisseyville? Have you guys agreed to disagree? Has the argument-fuelled smoke cleared?

DH and I were arguing this evening about which was a better movie, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe or Prince Caspian. The smoke will clear soon....... ... .

Yikes! Em! You could end your marriage by arguing over topics so deep. Better stick to less controversial topics, like tongue shades.

[jerseyangel]

Yikes! Em! You could end your marriage by arguing over topics so deep. Better stick to less controversial topics, like tongue shades.

Or which way to hang the toilet paper...over or under.

Ya know, the really important stuff.

:lol: Em, such strife.........

I do sell jewelry, and really need to sell more. Have thousands of $$ of inventory, collected over a decade......gads......may start listing on ebay (I'll take a huge loss) or etsy.com. Dunno yet...and do not know how to 'splain what I make. semi-precious gemstones, sterling and pearls......hand-wired together. will have to put photos up, somehow.

Oh, all is quite well in Kisseyville! not to worry. Um, I DO think I should put up a more dignified photo of the goof, though......

Yikes! Em! You could end your marriage by arguing over topics so deep. Better stick to less controversial topics, like tongue shades.

Yes, pink or chow-toned...

Ah! We settled the old TP quandary long ago - - it rolls from the bottom, reducing the chances of it all flipping out into a big heap on the floor....

I'm telling ya, we have addressed some colossal points of difference head-on over the years we have been together:

Which is the correct way to slice a kiwi - - length-wise or width-wise?

Whether or not eggs should ever be eaten with potatoes

Is cutting one's toenails a disgusting personal act that should be done in complete privacy?

Oh, it goes on and on....

[DingoGirl]

:lol:

OMG - I don't EVER want to see anyone cutting his toenails. In fact, I really don't want to see any toenails, period.

About 20 years ago, I was a receptionist in a law firm.......and this client was right around the corner, obviously cutting his nails. We could hear it (gross enough in itself), as he was right outside the kitchen area, standing in the main hallway, just off the reception area. What in hell? I called a couple of people up front to witness this spectacle. But....the worst - - after he'd left, we found his neat, tidy pile of nail remnants.............a NAIL cairn, to be precise, right on the counter outside the kitchen. :vomitface:

And yes, potatoes CAN be eaten w/ eggs - those would be hashbrowns. OMG - I miss McDonald's hash browns..........such yummy, dreamy piles of potato-y, greasy, golden-y heaven-puffs.......

[tom]

Whether or not eggs should ever be eaten with potatoes

I'd never have imagined this could be questioned!!!!

Besides hashbrowns (really? McD's? ), there are SO many varieties of home fries <that looks weird in print> w/ regional nuances.

Slices, chunks whatever . ... .as long as onions are involved I'll love 'em.

nail cairn

[nikki-uk]

I know - and Nicola finks we're odd for not getting it......

um - in this country - do we shorten Terry? I guess.........Ter........would be logical.....

Terence to Terry to Tel ....yes, I can see it looks odd BUT it's not so much as how it looks as to how it sounds

If you say Ter it sounds like Tel

Is this a peculi(hil)arity to Brits I wonder??? ......would yer have to call me hubby 'Terry' ALL the time?? ......NEVER 'Tel'

GADS how tiresome

We (Brits) would also shorten

Sharon to Shal

Darren to Dal

Gary to Gal

Derek to Del

I don't care if you fink I'm odd....I haven't got time for FULL names!!!!!!!

Terry to Tel = Nikki to Nid??

Nicknames for nicknames .......why, thats as mad as pets for pets!

Ya gotta have a vowel, then an 'R' in your name

Did someone say Cape crusader cod piece???

Or which way to hang the toilet paper...over or under.

Has to be UNDER!!!!!

Which is the correct way to slice a kiwi - - length-wise or width-wise?

Width-wise

Also (optionally healthy fibRE boost) ..leave the skin on when you slice...........yes, yes!...it sounds wrong but TRY

Whether or not eggs should ever be eaten with potatoes

WHAAAAAT???

Well the how the heck is TER going to eat his fried egg & chips otherwise????

Is cutting one's toenails a disgusting personal act that should be done in complete privacy?

Indeed it should be THE LAW

NO toe-nail cairns PLEASE!!!

In fact, I really don't want to see any toenails, period.

Well, I don't mind FEmale toe-nails attached to toes...with nail polish but NOT on men (hairy toes , looks odd)

Which reminds me ....I really must 'pretty up' my feet apres the 'wobbly blister/now hard skin' incident.

I may just go to the shop and have a pedicure ....but WHO would want to do that job?????

<not me>

...but I must point out that I would before I go: (in private!)

Cut my toe-nails

Try and get some hard skin off

SCRUB my feet then powder them.........

I also wash my hair BEFORE going to the hairdresser's

...but HOLY SKANKY HEADS!!!...I worked in a hairdressers for 4 yrs and you would be AMAZED at the sheer unashamed RANKNESS of heads of which people would expect you to touch !!!!!!!! :vomitface:

[elye]

Morning, all!

Glorious day ahead!! Sun and 25 C today and tomorrow. Supoib!

I'd never have imagined this could be questioned!!!!

Seems as though DH is not the only one who finks that eggs with potatoes is simply wrong - - my dad has always thought this a bizarre combination. "Potatoes are a supper food, eggs for breakfast", kind of old-school thinking. I love 'em together - - a delicious, fast supper.. .but potatoes are not great for the diabetes, sadly.....

We (Brits) would also shorten

Sharon to Shal

Darren to Dal

Gary to Gal

Derek to Del

Equally odd is the seemingly illogical shortening of Margaret to Peggy, Howard to Hank, John to Jack, Richard to Dick... . .becomes a whole new name. I believe Mr. Chow's name is Tran Chow. This is excellent - - a name that is just too difficult to Westerize into a shortened form.

Width-wise

Also (optionally healthy fibRE boost) ..leave the skin on when you slice...........yes, yes!...it sounds wrong but TRY

Hey! I EAT it all - - skin and everything...yup.

[jerseyangel]

semi-precious gemstones, sterling and pearls......hand-wired together. will have to put photos up, somehow.

I'd love to see some of your originals, Soozie I quite fancy sparkly things....

Gawd Trimming toenails in PUBLIC????? What the heck!! Ew-w-w-w....

Oh yeah!

I don't care if you fink I'm odd....I haven't got time for FULL names!!!!!!!

Naught it all, Nikki--no odder than "ph'ing" everything like we do here!

Supoib!

Hey! I EAT it all - - skin and everything...yup.

Will be a supoib day here, too

Wow--kiwi's skin and all? That dark hairy skin scares me....

[Darn210]

I don't care if you fink I'm odd....I haven't got time for FULL names!!!!!!!

Nik, I couldn't agree with you more. I was just sayin' to Em & Pat the other day how I need more time. I was telling Sue that I was going to have to cut a few things out. . . . And did we decide if Al has been spotted? . . . and how did Am's day finish off after our threats to the Merck monster. . . and is Jules feeling better?

Now, I've had to make all these short cuts because I have to spend so much time spelling . . . HTtaughawoughmn's name.

Did someone say Cape crusader cod piece???

Excellent word strikation!!

[nikki-uk]

Wow--kiwi's skin and all? That dark hairy skin scares me....

Pat *giggle* don't be scared.........embrace it

Exactly Jan!!!

Hold on .... ....I think Sarah's become Sal

[Jestgar]

Trench?

[jerseyangel]

Jan

Pat *giggle* don't be scared.........embrace it

Will do, Nik

M-m-m.....thinking this will save a lot of time....

Oh what about Jess?.... "J" ?

[tom]

Now, I've had to make all these short cuts because I have to spend so much time spelling . . . HTtaughawoughmn's name.

:lol:

Hold on .... ....I think Sarah's become Sal

So Herbert >>>> Herb >>> Hel??

[elye]

Wow--kiwi's skin and all? That dark hairy skin scares me....

Not scary a 'tall!...Um....on a big man, perhaps.....

Hmmm.....or perhaps not......

Now, I've had to make all these short cuts because I have to spend so much time spelling . . . HTtaughawoughmn's name.

Yes....We're going to have to shorten this name of Ptaoughtmnhmn's.....

Let's see.. .. .

Uhhhhhhh.. ....

Hey! How about TOM?

Janet said strikation......

Pat *giggle* don't be scared.........embrace it

Embrace dark, hairy skin? I cannot help picturing something.. ..Cro-magnon, er sumfin'....

[jerseyangel]

Not scary a 'tall!...Um....on a big man, perhaps.....

Hmmm.....or perhaps not......

Two great minds......

[jerseyangel]

Hey! How about TOM?

Now this is inspired! I referenced him on another thread, and when I typed "Tom", it felt odd after all this time

You can take the girl out of Sillyville, but you can't take.....well you know

[tom]

Hehehehehehehe heehee gigglegiggle

(I thought it looked off too P

[elye]

Now this is inspired! I referenced him on another thread, and when I typed "Tom", it felt odd after all this time

Actually, I've referenced Ptaoughmhmn elsewhere two or three times, and used our special Psilly Pspelling. Imagine what others were thinking whilst reading my post.. .. ."Wow - - which member is THIS? Must be from Latvia or Iceland". And then trying to figure out how his name would be pronounced.....

[jerseyangel]

Hehehehehehehe heehee gigglegiggle
