Mygawd.....ten thousand posts! Carla, how do you do it? A busy working life, six kids, fantastic marriage, and ten thousand posts! Gawd...I'd be divorced, fat, fired, Children's Aid would be visiting......

Well, because when I was sick and stuck in bed, I had nothing better to do than post, post, post! :lol: Are you kidding? My KIDS do all the work around here!!

I don't work. I try to work for hubby, but backslid a few months ago, and now that school is out I haven't gone back now that I'm doing better again. I'll go back to part time in the fall.

Carla, I have met very few people who are willing to live what they believe, rather than tell people what they (profess) to believe. Those that I have met have been from very different religions, but all of them have been people that are sincere, and deserving of respect in a way that could never be earned, only gifted.

You are quietly amazing, and hope that you are aware of that.

:blushingicon: Thank you.

Arrrrrggghhh. There has been a big, disapppointing communication gap between the baseball coach and us - - it would seem that the final, gold medal game is NEXT Saturday morning. We will be in the States, and Jack will miss it.

Jack's face when we discovered this:

Then this:

And now: (the four of us - - even his sister.....!)

That is very disappointing! Maybe a big storm system will hover over Ottawa while you're gone and the big game will have to be postponed until you guys are back. Hopefully he can at least be back for the requisite end of the season team party.

Alex, you do a wonderful job of telling us what this woman has meant to you. I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job in person, too . . . and yeah, a glass or two of wine might help in person, too

Hopefully I am handed a glass of wine upon entering the house! Or perhaps I should do a little predrinking before going . A little social lubricant is good thing sometimes!

I have to confess . . . when I first came on this thread and was telling a friend of mine about it, I was telling them about Susie/DingoGirl . . . lives in California, but "Dingo" screen name and seems to have an "Aussie" accent . . . I thought she was a transplant from Australia . . .

Janet, I was right there with ya....in fact, when Susie was first on here and her place of residence wasn't posted, I thought she was an Aussie, posting from Down Undah. She had an avatar posted of her on a cliff face, and I kept thinking, "What an amazing climbing Woman. I wonder if that's Ayers Rock?"

Oh, that would be GREAT.

I wish we could all rendezvous at the same place. Damn these huge North American countries!

I know....maybe someday

Dear gaaawd....am exhausted......my gym instructor has started a new class - she talked me into trying it.......it's called 'Bootcamp' :unfitredface:

Ooh Nik--that sounds brutal

oh, and all the rest o' y'all are nice too...

Right back at ya buddy!

Patti, YES, we must dust off the Design Star thread, I don't think I posted after this weeks episode as I was out of commission. I have another guilty pleasure as well, The Next Food Network Star

I knew you wern't feeling well on Monday, so I didn't post on it. Can't believe that duplicitious girl is still there--again!!!!! Just sayin......

Great phunnys, Janet

I never thought Souczie was an Aussie--always knew she was from California.....musta been on her profile.....

At first I was afraid I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without bread by my side

But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And I learned how to get along

And a crumb came back

From outer space

I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon its face

I should have changed that stupid lock

I should have made you leave the key

If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Go on now

Go walk out the door

Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore

Wasn't it the one who tried to hurt me with it's pain

Did you think I'd crumble

Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no not I

I will survive

Oh as long as i don't have gluten I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, and I'll survive

I will survive

Hey hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart

And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for my self

I used to cry

Now I hold my head up high

And you see me

Somebody new

I'm not that chained up little person still in love with bread

And so you felt like dropping in

and just expect my bowels to be fried

Well now I'm saving all my loving for a gluten free pie

Go on now

Go walk out that door,

Just turn around now

'Cause you're not welcome anymore

Wasn't you the one who tried to break me with good pie

Did you think I'd crumble

Did you think I'd lay down and die

Oh no not I

I will survive

Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, and I'll survive

I will survive

Hey hey psillies!

Carla? Did you get off scot-free on phluidacious mishaps around post 10,000???

<do they say scot-free in Scotland? ... .. .any idea Knich?>

Overflowing tub? Clogged sink? Nastily productive sneeze on the dashboard? Step in a puddle? monica lewinsky-ish stain? (oops! Was that out loud?)

No-drip mug start dripping?

Em! Such disappointment to miss the gold medal game!!!! What a ripoff!

And what if they're down by 5 in the 9th inning? Is anyone else qualified to irrationally wave every baserunner beyond?

(Love the pic btw!!!!!)

Jeh-nit, I wondered about the Indy Sillies and that thread. Figured you'd see it as you're often out there in the more reputable areas of the forum. Leeeeeeees-uh MUST go!

Too bad Jin's so far south.

Middle-wife!!! :lol:

Heehee LL will survive

LL--you totally cracked me up!! Love the video and your lyrics

[psawyer]

Okay, my post count is 1,353 (not counting this one) so what reason would there be for the heinous phluid ugliness I just experienced?

The hot water tap in the bathroom sink has been acting up. Everything else except the laundry room is washerless, but this one is still old fashioned. So, I'm thinking the washer needs to replaced, again.

This should be a straightforward task, but the old washer has partially disintegrated, and tiny bits of it are fouling the aerator screen, so that has to be removed and cleaned. Then run the water with the screen removed to clear out any remaining crud before reinstalling the aerator. This is the moment when I realize the the sink is filling up quickly, even though the stopper is not in the drain.

We have discussed some ugly stuff on this board, but what came back up when I used the plunger was simply vile. What should have been a brief fix took three quarters of an hour and involved disgusting slime.

Well, it is all over now (I hope).

Like Llama Lady, I have survived.

[nikki-uk]

LL...LOL!!

<GADS - if ever a tune gets me on the dance floor it's that! >

Ptaughmn!! - see no reason why the Scots wouldn't get off Scot free as it not a reference to the 'people'

I shall ask the next one I encounter

Poeter!! ...oh most heinous of tasks indeed!!

The SLIME!!! <shudder>

...and just why is the Oracle being targeted without knowing why????

When the bath water runs out slow Terry knows why AND what he has to do

T'is loads of my hair....but with loads of grEy gloop attached in the pipe - he has to pull it out :greenguy: BUT accepts this as it IS (IMO) a MANS JOB (call me old fashioned...... )

BTW Pieter - it pleases me that you use the word crud

Ah!! Everybody's Survivin'!

Llama, superb lyrics!

PeOter! Not just phluid, but slimy stuff..... . . .nothing extraordinary about your post count - - as Fading Monarch, I shall looketh into this. One of my last royal manouvers ... .. ..

Nyet. Nobody that I'm leaving behind has the balls to do ANYTHING irrationally......

....Er...... . .pun intended!... . ..

[dollamasgetceliac?]

Well I'll be damned

Here comes your toast again

But that's not unusual

It's just that the moon is full

And you happened to call

And here I sit

Hand on the toiletpaper

Hearing a sound I'd known

A couple of minutes ago

Heading straight for a fall

As I remember your crust

Was browner than chicken legs

My poetry was lousy you said

Where are you calling from?

A toilet booth in the midwest

Ten years ago

I bought you some muffins

You brought me something

We both know what gluten can bring

it brings pain and discomfort

Well you burst on the scene

Already a legend

The uneaten phenomenon

The original whole wheat loaf

You strayed into my mouth

And there you stayed

Temporarily lost with tea

The Madonna was yours for free

Yes the taco was a half-shell

and Would keep you unharmed

Now I see you standing

With whole wheat falling around

And flour in your receipe

Now you're smiling out the window

Of that crummy grocery store

Over Washington Square

Our breath comes out white clouds

Mingles and hangs in the air

Speaking strictly for me

We both could have died then and there

Now you're telling me

You're not nostalgic

Then give me another word for it

You who are so good with words

And at keeping things vague

Because I need some of that vagueness now

It's all come back too clearly

Yes I loved you dearly

And if you're offering me doughnuts and cake

I've already paid

Peat-Her!!! EWWWWWW!!!! Well, the only thing I can think of is that Carla has somehow managed to defer her 10,000 post onslaught to you!!! I'm not sure how she did that . . . she does have a direct line to the man (woman) upstairs!!!! . . . and I'm not talking about Skaught!!! . . . well, she may have a direct line to him, too!!!

LL - Where have you been??!! . . . and when are you going to explain the Oprah/Terri Hatcher/Aussie Jewel Maker reference??

So just doing a little proofreading . . . Apparently, I need to add a few more of these . . . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmmm... ...yes.. .. .Janet, you may be on to something. Carla is, after all, quite amazing. If anyone could pull off a Grand Post Rollover Transference, it would be her. I've heard rumours of such clandestine things taking place... . ...

Hello Sillies,

Got a question here. Need your collective wisdom.

Some of you may remember the wedding, two years ago, for my daughter. Yeah, well.....not such a good idea. AND, I KNEW THAT AT THE TIME!!!!!

Can you get engaged to one man, while you're awaiting your divorce from another.

Needless to say, it's been very interesting around here. Got one of those boomerang kids.

So what do you think?

(and seriously working toward my 5,000 post - Patti what happens - I'm afraid)

Well, we've had a lot of rain ... but no phluid mishaps.

When the bath water runs out slow Terry knows why AND what he has to do

T'is loads of my hair....but with loads of grEy gloop attached in the pipe - he has to pull it out :greenguy: BUT accepts this as it IS (IMO) a MANS JOB (call me old fashioned...... )

Adam has that job, too.

Can you get engaged to one man, while you're awaiting your divorce from another.

Yep. Unless you're a practicing Catholic. But no one can MARRY another man while still DIVORCING the first one.

[Jestgar]

Can you get engaged to one man, while you're awaiting your divorce from another.

I think that should be up to the person who's house you're living in

(and seriously working toward my 5,000 post - Patti what happens - I'm afraid)

I've been wondering how things were going, Lisa. To answer your question, I would say 'sure'.....the heart wants what it wants. I'm glad to hear that your daughter has found someone who will make her happy, and sorry for what she's gone through.

A very similar situation happened in my family, and the second marriage is in it's second decade.

Now, as to the 5,000 post rollover.....watch for phluids-- bodily, household and from nature. For pholks who post here, the big numbers seem to coinside with some sort of a liquid onslaught.

Be aware, Lisa, be very aware....we don't want things to get any more "interesting" over there

[Jestgar]

Be aware, Lisa, be very aware....we don't want things to get any more "interesting" over there

hmm, unless you can Carla to intervene and somehow send the onslaught to the soon-to-be-exes place.

[jerseyangel]

Would probably be simpler to have Lisa use her soon-to-be 5000 directly Bet it would give her great satisfaction

[Lisa]

hmm, unless you can Carla to intervene and somehow send the onslaught to the soon-to-be-exes place.

ooh, ooh, ooh YES! Five thousand post onslaught to the soon- to- be's and especially the mother-in-law. Poor girl isn't handling this very well....harph, harph OOOh, the stories I could tell.

Can I request any particular phluids?

[elye]

hmm, unless you can Carla to intervene and somehow send the onslaught to the soon-to-be-exes place.

Okay...a new word has been coined ....."to Carla"....... .. . to masterfully pass off one's comeuppance or undesirable dues to another......

Yes........ . .sudden, PeOter-calibre phluids at the ex's..... . very good!
