The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

Susie!....How can this be?? I am truly flummoxed by this....I laugh heartily all the way through, and marvel at what I hear as clever, multi-layered timing and humour.

And sometimes Seinfeldian - like in Cell Phone, when it turns out Lacey's 'Save the Silo' campaign backfires in that the new cell tower was to go there.

On a related note - I saw part of the Monk pilot the other day & . ... ..Hank was in it!!!!!!

Of course, wearing a hat, but it was a newsboy cap or whatever, backwards.

He was killed and a car accident faked but it didn't fool Adrian.

Wow, I leave for a few hours for a home cooked birthday meal and some DVD watching and I'm behind 4 pages. You were all in Phine Phunny Phorm this evening! We watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding and The Princess Bride-- two perennial favourite feel good movies. I must remember to pay Ryan back by watching some Batman movies on his birthday!

Everything sounds great, Alex! Your guys are taking such good care of you

Can I just say how happy I am to see you so happy and doing so well!

I know, I'm so blessed with my family and my Ryan. Don't know what I'd do without them!

And thank-you! I'm so much better in mind, body, and spirit than I was on my last birthday and exponentially better than I was 18 or so months ago. Sometimes I forget how sick I was and how fortunate I was to have been diagnosed so quickly. I try to remember to be grateful, grateful, grateful!

I knew I'd find Alex here. I've come to wish her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Wish you great wishes to come true, sweet girl!

Thanks for stopping by for my birthday Lisa!

Oops, forget to say thanks for the confetti Tom, it was beautiful!

Susie!....How can this be?? I am truly flummoxed by this....I laugh heartily all the way through, and marvel at what I hear as clever, multi-layered timing and humour. I would have been absolutely CERTAIN that you would get a kick out of it.....

You must keep watching it.....it is SOOOOO PHUNNNNEEE!!!

My dad loves Corner Gas! I bought him one of the seasons on DVD for Christmas. I usually watch it but I'm kind of just meh about it. It does make me laugh quite consistently but I don't think that I have the appreciation like you guys and my dad have for the show.

And all of this talk about reading and book clubs, I must admit that I hardly ever read. It is bad and sad and I feel that I should be ashamed about it. It was good in high school when I had to read certain books for English class because I ended up loving a couple of the books -- The Great Gatsby and To Kill a Mockingbird. But I am not good at picking books for myself. I am always afraid I won't like the book. And there are just too many books to choose from -- I walk into Chapters and I get overwhelmed and just scurry to the CDs and DVDs! Does anyone have a good book recommendation for me?

[Ridgewalker]

Remember House of Sand and Fog? I threw it in the trash.......have never hated a book more... (I trade many books at used book store)

Susie, what did you hate about it? Was it just bad?

I watched the movie when it first came out (great actors, critical acclaim, yada, yada, yada...) and WHOARGH, it completely traumatized me, ya'll. I cried through most of the movie, and then pretty much cried all night.

Dr.Oz Knows about Siiliac . and we found out that the gene for silliac is right next to the gene for misspelling thigs on the internet.

Good norning, Sillies!

It's kind of a relief when I don't have a page or two of posts to read through at this time in the morning from the night before...otherwise I'm in late for work, gotta explain that I was held up in Sillyville.......I guess they think this is a suburb of Ottawa that I must make my way through to get there....

We'll have to swing this, somehow........DH has a new blackberry that we can use to email from anywhere, so I'll make sure I have it when we rendezvous.....

Cute, but don't mess with him!

Well, today's the day of Mom's dr appt. She gets her stitches out from the biopsy, and we should get the results. I've been looking at pictures of different types of skin cancer on the net this morning, and haven't seen anything that looks like what Mom has. But I also looked at pics of actinic keratosis, which is supposedly what the original biopsy showed two years ago, and it also looks nothing like any of those pictures.

ALL the pictures I looked at either looked like 1) a rash of varying colors; or 2) a gross oozing, crusty growth. Mom's thing is just a slightly raised discolored (pinkish) area, that looks a little dry.

In other words, I'm utterly confused, and this is exactly why I have NOT let myself search internet pictures before, up till now. Will update later.

[jerseyangel]

Sarah,

Don't drive yourself nuts--the waiting is almost over. We'll pray that it's good news today.

[elye]

Yes, Sarah, we're all thinking about you and your mom.........positive prayers and thoughts....

I just know that she will be okay.

I'll be back later--I'm taking advantage of this cool spell and am going to phaint the den. There's a desk top in there, so I can pop on whilst taking a break.

Gah! Patti..you're gonna.....phaint the den? You mean, phaint IN the den? Dear, mehopes not... .... .if you phaint with a dripping paintbrush in yer hand, paint will go all over the floor and you. Even worse if you phaint whilst holding a pole with a roller on the end... . it will suddenly roll down and across the floor.. . ..... ..

*sigh* ...nope

They tend not to come out much in the summer months - and I hafta do me own cleanin'

I would like to have some of these little people.

Glad you're better, Nikki.... .. .A good weigh-in at the Slimming Club is upon you!

Did you go to Tesco, Nikki? I was quite impressed with this chain when we were shopping in London....except that there wasn't a jar of peanut butter to be found there... ..and there were several inebriated customers stumbling along the aisles, trying to read labels and count out change at the cash. It was indeed fascinating......well, for us goofy tourists, anyways.....

[Darn210]

. . . and there were several inebriated customers stumbling along the aisles, trying to read labels and count out change at the cash.

I thought you didn't see Nikki when you went to England!!!

Hee Hee I was thinking the exact same thing after I posted.....leave it to Em to sound it out

I edged the room--it's all ready to be rolled, that's enough for today

[curlyfries]

Mom's thing is just a slightly raised discolored (pinkish) area, that looks a little dry.

I had one that looked exactly like that on my hand. I couldn't find a similar pic either, so I waited---thought maybe it was eczema. Finally went to the doc......he thought it looked pre-cancerous. Did a biopsy.....it was basal cell carcinoma-----that's not as serious as a lot of other skin cancers. When he did the biopsy he took off the whole thing, so nothing more needed to be done. It's been fine. A couple years later I found a similar one on my shoulder.......it was negative. Either way, I'm sure your mom will be fine.

This is quite a humourous sentence ...... ... ..sounds vaguely..... .. ..naughty? Who'll be in the room wif you whilst you do this, Patti? You could perhaps arrange to have yer....*ahem*...handyman/plumber over to help with that edging an' rolling....

Good stuff, Lisa! This is all very good news for you, Sarah! I know things will be okay. Let us know as soon as you can!

So..... It's probably just as well that I didn't add that I couldn't wait to take a shower when I got finished. Which is the truth.....

[Green12]

Boy Nikki, this thing has realy taken you down

As a girl who is quite fond of food and eating, I know it's bad when it gets to the point where everything sounds yucky to eat, just the thought of eating gets a big "Ughhhh!"

I hope the tin of soup settles well with you

Sarah you and your mom are definitely in my thoughts!

Patti, you are a painting fool Always painting, or working on something around the house.....a freind of HGTV's dream!!!!!!

What color did ya decide on??

Welcome back Llama Lady Oprah!

I love HGTV You didn't happen to see House Hunters last night, did you? The couple who bought a house trailer on a boat slip in Florida for $520k Half a million...I couldn't believe it.

I digress... It's a nice, conservative tan-ish/khakki color with white trim. Very clean and neat

I love HGTV too, I watch it phrequently , but no, I was actually watching Top Chef reunion last night on Bravo so I missed House Hunters.

I think you will like the tan-ish kahki with white trim. All my walls here and ceiling are painted a very creamy mocha color, think coffee with cream, kind of a camel if you will, with crisp white trim. Everything just pops against it in a room. Art work and pictures on the wall look stunning.

Yes--that is the coloUr, exactly! You describe it much better than I did

[nikki-uk]

Did you go to Tesco, Nikki?

Where else???

Can't knock their 'free from' range

...except that there wasn't a jar of peanut butter to be found there...

Next to the jam.....although probably not peanut butter as ye know it .
