I love YOUR av, Susie! You guys are really....um...sucking face...(!) At least, David appears as such......

not really sucking phace......David likes to "pose us" and then hold the camera out........note that his gnose is quite smashed.

speaking of avs - Em - yer dad, quite often, looks GREEN in photos.

Okay, folks, I have exposed myself. I mean, the cloaking device is off and I am not anonymous. What did you think I meant?

:lol: Nutty!

Will read your "common sense" post later.......no time at present.......but excited about your prospective summer employee............this means Psilly Psummit for you, no doubt!

And what is Annie doing whilst this is happening? Is she laying down with her head on a swivel watching you go to and fro, or is she passed out somewhere else in the house??

annie/Weezee is never far.........she is NEVER in a room where we aren't. If I go in another room for more than.............five minutes? she moves into that room. she is never far behind. Poor Weez, hardly any rest. Unless we've run in the orchard on a hot day, and then, blessedly, she is a pass out victim.

Tho passionate, I'm sure, a forceful nose-smushing kiss wouldn't be rated beyond PG-13 by even Dana Carvey's ChurchLady.

gahhhhhhhhh :lol: Correct, 'twas not a full makeout session........those are not photographed.

[jerseyangel]

gnose

[jerseyangel]

It struck a chord with me, and I think it will with you.

It really did and was quite refreshing, actually!

[tom]

Um, NO, I'm going for a Drs appointment. I figured I'd take advantage of being there and see or do something.

Ohhhhhh, hope it goes well. I guess I'll read about it on OMG.

[nikki-uk]

Damn Emoticon Bustage!!!!

SARAH!!!!!

FANTASTIC news on your Mum!! .....well NOT that she's got another AI disease but yer know what I mean

Okay.......about this UK peanut butter issue.......I think when the weather cools I'm goign to have to send Nik a jar of Skippy Naturals pb (is that illegal? )..........'tis heaven in a jar......and THEN she can see what it's truly like, maybe she can become a wealthy peanut butter magnate (or typhoon/taifun?, as Rinne likes to say ), importing it into England by the buttload.

Indeed, playphul Szeucszie...this matter needs MUCH investigation!!!!!

Are you allowed to send food items??? (your laws are MUCH stricter than ours)...but how can I compare :confuzzled:

To describe my PB....T'is thick AND stiff in texture, quite sticky but not easily stirred or spreadable.

A very nutty aroma engulfs the senses upon opening with a little zing of butter...maybe creamy??

Of course it IS crunchy PB (got no time for smooth PB .......why?? )

Ingredients are:

Roasted peanuts

Vegetable Oil

Cane Sugar

Hydrogenated Veg Oil (oooo NOT a good ingredient)

Sea Salt

Total Peanut Ingredients 93%

Must be them subpar europeanuts

Now Phataughmn!!...I canNOT have you slander the Brit (perleeze, I am NOT EUROPEAN!!!) peanut 'til we know the source

Got me little pholks (under the stairs) onto it TOOT SWEET!!

JULIE!!! Hope you enjoy Phoenix (and the heat) when on your Docs appt

Y'all know I'd like me some of that dry heat

BUT

Plus, we'd have to be seen in a bathing suit, for gawd's sake

There's the rub

ILLEGAL for me as I have knees....HECK....legs like a Sharpei dog!!! (not so furry though)

Meanwhile....

Today is my eldest son's b-day.....GADS.....19 yrs old today!!!

His workmates co-workers are taking him to the pub after work ...but he's my sensible child

He was quite disgruntled when he learnt he had to buy cream cakes for all in his office

''But why Mum??? ....it's my birthday??''

Good point I suppose but at least he ain't a coeliac and can eat 'em

Kitty Will to my horror is a dirty stop out and *I* have turned into a fussing, slightly demented cat lady calling for him at 3.00am 'cos I was worried about him

He strolled in about 10.00am, when asked 'where had he been?' he tried to get round me with the figure of eight around the legs...then total indifference, when I reminded him he was not even a yr old I got ''Yeah, whatever...;.I'm sleeping now''

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning sillies!

Em loving that av!!!!! I can't believe we are getting that close.

FL in 1 week!!!!!! I am no where near ready to go but who cares I am going!!!!!!!!!!!

Peter! Awesome that you might be joining up, I will keep the phingers crossed!

Big news on the job front, I have a special project!!! A lot of our studies come without supplies such as lab tubes and such and if they are strange tests sometimes our hospital does not even carry the certain tubes we need. So yesterday my supervisor asked me to come up with a spreadsheet, pretend we had our own lab to stock and sift through certain protocols and see what we need. From there I will make a list of what we need. She said include Freezers and such! Eventually we will have our own lab and we will need a lab person, she told me to think about that. Even if I do not want that job she would like me to help write the job description. So exciting things happening all over!

And it's FRIDAY!!!

A busy weekend ahead too.

[elye]

Morning, all!

PeOter, great citing. We have a very brilliant, no-nonsense, seventy-year old radio announcer on our local talk radio station, Lowell Green, who is the king of Conservative pragmatism. He long ago declared this passage as his credo, and reads it on air every once in a while. Very thought-provoking.......

speaking of avs - Em - yer dad, quite often, looks GREEN in photos.

Speaking of radio announcers. ... .Susie you're right. A subtle, veridian hue. Perhaps he is like this in real life. If so, he will have an explanation. I know he donned a great deal of green makeup in his TV days. ... ...could have been plant-based dyes that simply never quite wash out.

annie/Weezee is never far.........she is NEVER in a room where we aren't. If I go in another room for more than.............five minutes? she moves into that room. she is never far behind. Poor Weez, hardly any rest.

It's quite phunee over here, now, much like it must have been with you when Stinker was alive, Susie - - I now have TWO big dogs following me everywhere I go in the house. They crowd into the bathroom, and while I am sitting there they arrange themselves as best they can in seated positions also, staring at me. I agree, though....it is good exercise for them, keeps them occupied. "Whoop! There she goes again! C'mon! Let's follow her! Where on earth is she going?"

To describe my PB....T'is thick AND stiff in texture, quite sticky but not easily stirred or spreadable.

A very nutty aroma engulfs the senses upon opening with a little zing of butter...maybe creamy??

Hmmmmm......Nikki, if I evah come to London again, I want yer address as I will need to show up for my PB fix, and it sounds like I'd have NO trouble eating your stuff. The concoctions we found in the stores were just bad.... . .

ILLEGAL for me as I have knees....HECK....legs like a Sharpei dog!!! (not so furry though)

OMG.... The dreaded Shar-pei Legs.....

Happy birthday to yer son, Nik! Nineteen.....a right adult, he is! What is the legal drinking age over there? Um...I forget, we are talking about England.......IS there, in fact, a drinking age??

[jerseyangel]

I'm going for a Drs appointment. I figured I'd take advantage of being there and see or do something.

Julie--how did I miss this development? I hope that this appointment will give you more answers--I will be anxious to hear how it goes Keep me posted

He strolled in about 10.00am, when asked 'where had he been?' he tried to get round me with the figure of eight around the legs...then total indifference, when I reminded him he was not even a yr old I got ''Yeah, whatever...;.I'm sleeping now''

The 'ol figure eight! Allo does this, and one of these days he's gonna make me trip over him and I hope it's not near the top of a stairway or sumphin It's especially annoying when I'm about to feed him--you'd think he's get out of the way and let me fix it--but no.....

Amanda said "phingers"

Gawd, I wish I knew what was up with me stomach.....I cancelled my Chiropractic appointment this morning because I didn't like the thought of being manipulated whilst feeling like this It's been going on fer about 3 weeks now--it seemed to have started with the date incident and I haven't been the same since. Jeesh!

I took some Immodium this morning since I have a couple errends I have to run.

You guys know what I'm talking about So happy I have a place to come and b***h!

[jerseyangel]

Almost phorgot--Happy Birthday to Nik's eldest!!!

Gotts ta run

"they're living in a wackl subculture all their own, and they're the self-proclaimed phunniest humans alive, with insider knowledge of the stealthiest and most prevalent autoimmune disorder around. Just wait until we unlock the psecrets of the silly thread. See their insights and their wackl, special wisdom, and the story of their unique, cult-like bond, tomorrow!"

I don't know why but that just made me laugh SOOOO hard!!! :lol: That's exactly what the promo would sound like I think.

I saw this on another board that I still read, but haven't posted to in years, in the middle of a flame war about legal liability. It struck a chord with me, and I think it will with you. Two posts later a moderator locked the thread. I'm glad it lasted long enough for this to get posted. If you want the link, send me a PM--I don't think it would be a good fit here.

Makes you think, doesn't it?

That totally makes me think of something I just read in the new the other day -- Open Original Shared Link. Apparently a 18 year old woman was in Hawaii with her cheerleading team when she went off to the room of some guys and got so drunk that she fell of the balcony in various stages of undress and unfortunately died. A horrible thing, yes; I can only imagine the loss and devastation her family must feel. But her parents successfully sued the chaperone, a mother of one of the other cheerleaders, for 700k!!! I find that utterly disgusting! When an adult decides to get crazily drunk, I don't see how anyone else is to blame for the misfortune she befalls.

Maybe I'm being insensitive and I know I can't comprehend what it would feel like to lose a child but this whole suing thing makes me feel quite ill. Many a times my parents accompanied me to overnight athletic events and field trips and it scares me to think they could have got the pants sued off of them had one of my teammates/classmates decided to show a scary lack of judgment. Anyway, that's my rant for the day. I'll step down from my soapbox now. Sorry for the ranting

[blueeyedmanda]

Patti---could you have eaten tomatoes contaminated with Salmonella...which are part of the recall? Just an idea.....

[elye]

Patti! Cramps and the Sh!ts? That is the worst. Yes, Amanda may be onto sumfin' with the tomato idea.....does it feel at all like a mild type of food poisoning?

I totally Bev'd Susie's Oprah promo voiceover....:manycacklyfaces: Exactly what her announcer would say, and it would be accompanied by flashing shots of our various unforgettable avatars - - the Hot Tub Series, the Absinthe Series, Lying-by-the-toilet entries.....

[elye]

The Ripper's last day of school yesterday, and this afternoon is his big end-of-year show. He's excited this year, as he has a major part to play, unlike last year when he played some seaweed and he just had to make sure he constantly wiggled.

This year he is a librarian, and ends up narrating the whole story. It begins with him in a chair, a bunch of the kindergarteners sitting in front of him... .. .he is about to read them all a book. As soon as he begins, a magical thing happens - - the books come to life! The kids find themselves in the stories.

Fairly easy costume for Jack this year....librarians look kind of nerdy, apparently, so he wants to wet his hair and part it WAY over to one side, and he'll wear his glasses. My obsession with DD's perfectly useable but untouched hockey pads continues, so I found myself asking Jack to think of a way to incorporate them into his costume. "Some librarians may wear these things, Jack ....ya know....protection from.....little kids.....and.....flying things"...... . .. .

I have NOT convinced him as yet.

[blueeyedmanda]

The Rippers show sounds so cute. Let us know

[nikki-uk]

Hmmmmm......Nikki, if I evah come to London again, I want yer address as I will need to show up for my PB fix, and it sounds like I'd have NO trouble eating your stuff. The concoctions we found in the stores were just bad.... . .

Yes!! A PB party!!!

Happy birthday to yer son, Nik! Nineteen.....a right adult, he is! What is the legal drinking age over there? Um...I forget, we are talking about England.......IS there, in fact, a drinking age??

...well yes.......18 yrs is the legal age to drink although most clubs are over 21's.

Amanda!!!

Orlando in a week!!!

Oh Patteigh got the tummy grumbles

Emily, The Ripper's show sounds phab ....and end of school??....when does he go back?????

Ours are off end of July until early Sept.

GADS - when will I ever feel normal again????....blah-moan-whinge-blah....still got headaches and nausea.....I think I want to eat yummy stuff but when I do my gut says NO!!!

....and yes, we all love a jolly good rant and b***h here.....'cos we can!!!!!!

[jerseyangel]

Patti---could you have eaten tomatoes contaminated with Salmonella...which are part of the recall? Just an idea.....

I don't eat tomatoes--never liked 'em. Thanks, though

I totally Bev'd Susie's Oprah promo voiceover....:manycacklyfaces: Exactly what her announcer would say, and it would be accompanied by flashing shots of our various unforgettable avatars - - the Hot Tub Series, the Absinthe Series, Lying-by-the-toilet entries.....

Gawd

It begins with him in a chair, a bunch of the kindergarteners sitting in front of him... .. .he is about to read them all a book. As soon as he begins, a magical thing happens - - the books come to life! The kids find themselves in the stories.

Sounds enchanting! Yeah, have to agree with The Ripper on this one....can't see where the hockey pads would quite fit in with it all.

GADS - when will I ever feel normal again????....blah-moan-whinge-blah....still got headaches and nausea.....I think I want to eat yummy stuff but when I do my gut says NO!!!

Hey Nik--we can be miserable together....who knows, maybe we caught sumphin from each other due to phrequent posting

When I came of age (came of age--sounds a little creepy for some reason ), the drinking age was 18. Not long after that, they changed it to 21.....m-m-m

[elye]

Emily, The Ripper's show sounds phab ....and end of school??....when does he go back?????

Ours are off end of July until early Sept.

Our kids go back the day after Labour Day - - this year it's Sept. 5th. So our kids get a whole month more of summer holidays than your Brit kids? Whassup wif dat?

Our guys have very few days off during the school year...just the big holidays - - Thanksgiving, a week at Christmas, Easter weekend, and a week in March. Perhaps you guys have more days off? Gad...I wanna move us all over there, boy.......No kids around until the end of July??!

GADS - when will I ever feel normal again????....blah-moan-whinge-blah....still got headaches and nausea.....I think I want to eat yummy stuff but when I do my gut says NO!!!

Nikki: I believe that you are pregnant.

[CarlaB]

Just thought I'd drop in to say hi.

I don't eat tomatoes--never liked 'em. Thanks, though

Me either ... no one can believe I don't like tomatoes because I really like just about everything.

When I came of age (came of age--sounds a little creepy for some reason ), the drinking age was 18. Not long after that, they changed it to 21.....m-m-m

Me, too. In Ohio we could get 3.2 beer (lower alcohol content) at 18, but then my family moved to Texas where the drinking age was 19, and so was I by then. However, where I went to college, it was 21, so I couldn't drink (in a restaurant or bar, LOL), but I could drink when I was in Texas.

Now I can't drink. But I'm getting used to it and actually enjoy not feeling bad after a night out.

Bev, I know we can't drink, but if you have an IV, can you infuse the cosmos?

[tom]

Now Phataughmn!!...I canNOT have you slander the Brit (perleeze, I am NOT EUROPEAN!!!) peanut 'til we know the source

If too thick to slather, must slander.

Wow Amanda, great news at work!

It's been going on fer about 3 weeks now--it seemed to have started with the date incident and I haven't been the same since. Jeesh!

Bah!!!

"they're living in a wackl subculture all their own, and they're the self-proclaimed phunniest humans alive, with insider knowledge of the stealthiest and most prevalent autoimmune disorder around. Just wait until we unlock the psecrets of the silly thread. See their insights and their wackl, special wisdom, and the story of their unique, cult-like bond, tomorrow!"

Forgot to say - this sounds like a 'no-natural-flavoUrs-etc' Pseuzee!

I was doing so well Sun/Mon, I just had to test Tjoe's new organic fake fritos, in the hope that, like tomatoes, the Organic aspect would make it ok.

Nope. Have had a slow mushy brain ever since, but getting better now.

Ahh yes Peeder, where has the Common Sense gone . ...

Knik & P

[elye]

Hi, Carla!

Mygawd, but you're a brave thing, turning up in Sillyville with a post count like that.......

If too thick to slather, must slander.

Well done, Ptaoughmghmn!

Sounds vaguely Seussian..........

[Jestgar]

Now I can't drink. But I'm getting used to it and actually enjoy not feeling bad after a night out.

:lol:

[CarlaB]

Hi, Carla!

Mygawd, but you're a brave thing, turning up in Sillyville with a post count like that.......

What's wrong with my post count?????

[Green12]

Busted!!! For over emoticon-ification....had to go back and edit, edit, edit!

Good Day Sillies!!!! Ugh! I have a sore throat from H-E-double hockey sticks. I think I got it from my little munchkin that came over this week, not the kind that lives under Nikki's stairs, mine is in the form of a 3 yr old toddler

Hi Carla!!!!!!!!! You and I can be the only non-drinkers in this group.

Peter, I liked your "obituary for common sense", so true!

not really sucking phace......David likes to "pose us" and then hold the camera out........note that his gnose is quite smashed.

---------------------

annie/Weezee is never far.........she is NEVER in a room where we aren't. If I go in another room for more than.............five minutes? she moves into that room. she is never far behind. Poor Weez, hardly any rest. Unless we've run in the orchard on a hot day, and then, blessedly, she is a pass out victim.

So I inspected said avatar picture for possible questionable themes and I think it passes. There is an open mouth, but no tongue and mouths are actually missing each other, so contact is not made..........gnose however looks to be quite smooshed.

Awwww Weezeee!!! I miss that always by my side furry friend

To describe my PB....T'is thick AND stiff in texture, quite sticky but not easily stirred or spreadable.

A very nutty aroma engulfs the senses upon opening with a little zing of butter...maybe creamy??

Of course it IS crunchy PB (got no time for smooth PB .......why?? )

Ingredients are:

Roasted peanuts

Vegetable Oil

Cane Sugar

Hydrogenated Veg Oil (oooo NOT a good ingredient)

Sea Salt

Total Peanut Ingredients 93%

------------------------------

Got me little pholks (under the stairs) onto it TOOT SWEET!!

-----------------------------------

Kitty Will to my horror is a dirty stop out and *I* have turned into a fussing, slightly demented cat lady calling for him at 3.00am 'cos I was worried about him

He strolled in about 10.00am, when asked 'where had he been?' he tried to get round me with the figure of eight around the legs...then total indifference, when I reminded him he was not even a yr old I got ''Yeah, whatever...;.I'm sleeping now''

Nikki!!!! So many things to respond to...

Happy Birthday to your eldest son! Hope he has a good one

Hmmm, I am looking over ingredients of PB and I am still confoozled and bamboozled as to why it doesn't spread We must get to the bottom of this......good thing yer little pholks under the stairs are on it!!!!

About your kitty Will, sounds like he skipped the toddler years and went straight into his teens. Look at what he is pulling already

FL in 1 week!!!!!! I am no where near ready to go but who cares I am going!!!!!!!!!!!

Woot Woot!!!!

Yay on your special project at work too

Julie--how did I miss this development? I hope that this appointment will give you more answers--I will be anxious to hear how it goes Keep me posted

-------------------------

Gawd, I wish I knew what was up with me stomach.....I cancelled my Chiropractic appointment this morning because I didn't like the thought of being manipulated whilst feeling like this It's been going on fer about 3 weeks now--it seemed to have started with the date incident and I haven't been the same since. Jeesh!

Patti, well my appt hasn't been scheduled yet. Still waiting to hear, but it will probably be sometime in July.

I've been to Scottsdale a few times, but it was when I was in highschool and always about baseball, baseball, and more baseball. Didn't get a chance to do much else or really experience the area. So thought I would kill two birds with one stone, see the Dr and take in Phoenix

Thanks for the well wishes about the appt and I will definitely keep you posted

Sorry to hear about your stomach, 3 weeks with this is not good. Anything suspicious with Edna? A bummer you had to cancel with the chiropractor I know how much you enjoy going to see him to get your adjustments. I hope it lets up soon.

Maybe I'm being insensitive and I know I can't comprehend what it would feel like to lose a child but this whole suing thing makes me feel quite ill. Many a times my parents accompanied me to overnight athletic events and field trips and it scares me to think they could have got the pants sued off of them had one of my teammates/classmates decided to show a scary lack of judgment. Anyway, that's my rant for the day. I'll step down from my soapbox now. Sorry for the ranting

Alex, I totally agree with you. Everyone is so sue happy That young girl's death was tragic yes, but not the fault of the chaperone. There doesn't seem to be any accountablility anymore.

This year he is a librarian, and ends up narrating the whole story. It begins with him in a chair, a bunch of the kindergarteners sitting in front of him... .. .he is about to read them all a book. As soon as he begins, a magical thing happens - - the books come to life! The kids find themselves in the stories.

"Some librarians may wear these things, Jack ....ya know....protection from.....little kids.....and.....flying things"...... . .. .

I have NOT convinced him as yet.

His part sounds so cute, love the parting of the hair and the glasses touch. Very librarian.

I was doing so well Sun/Mon, I just had to test Tjoe's new organic fake fritos, in the hope that, like tomatoes, the Organic aspect would make it ok.

Nope. Have had a slow mushy brain ever since, but getting better now.

Sorry about this Tom Those blasted fake fritos! Hope your mushy brain de-mushes....er solidifies? :shruggingshoulderwithquizzicleface:

I also Bev'd Susie's Oprah promo for Sillyville. I've Bev'd a lot of things the last few days..........so many sillies, too little time

Hi Sillies . . . and a big Hello to Carla. You need to stop in more often. I've been Sarahing lately. Nothing too funny bouncing around me head. Big zoning board meeting on Monday and it's all hands on deck. Lots of prep, pictures, presentations, proofreading and such . . . and not even by me, but me hubby (and a few others). I'm just following along and throwing in my 2 cents worth from time to time. Just nothin' funny about zoning boards!!! However, this came in from my BIL. I'll just transfer some of his silly in my place.

Sensible Observations:

1) When I die, I want to die like my grandfather--who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.
