Love the crutch idea.

Cold and snowy and the cats are very angry with me for doing this to them.

Must go plug in my electric kettle and make some tea.

[flourgirl]

Yes, yes, must chime in....HAAAAPPPPYYYY BIIIIRTHDAYYYY JOOOOOODYYYYY!!!!

Everyone come!!!! I have a big comfy couch divan, a big screen telly, tiger pig's to go all around, snacks and drinks! It would be GRAND!!

Be there in a bit (don't I wish...sigh). I grew up with 7 brothers and sisters and I really miss the group thing, especially this time of year. How wunnderfull twould be to snuggle and giggle under a tiger pig (my son had a ducky blanket) with tea and snacks and psilliness!

I think I'll pass on flashing the biddies to freeze them! Probably would get arrested for not being indecent enough! Already did the pap thing, our yearly required humiliation. The things that men get to miss! We just are not meant to be pressed into 2 dimensions! If you buy into the theory that causing certain cells to collide in 2 dimensions could cause a black hole.....possibly a gateway into another dimension....well, just think of the consequences. Piles of breasts suddenly appearing in another space-time continuum. What is a "person" in another place supposed to think about that?

SamHill Manhead as the Godfather? What is the world coming to?

What exactly is an electric (eclectric?) Kettle? Never heard of one. I gave up the kettle on the stove and cheat with the microwave! Wunnerful things..those microwaves!

Peeaterr....love the image of kitty going to the door over and over. Mine used to do the same. You open the door, they look out, look up at you with pathetic confusion. Go to another door, repeat the process. I used to say that my Ivan was waiting for me to open the door to summer. He couldn't understand why I insisted on opening doors to winter...brrrr. I wish I had a door into summer, whenever I wished. I'd be there year 'round

[Darn210]

Going for a mamogram this afternoon Hate it, hate it. Then again, I don't know anyone who enjoys it. Think I'll practice slamming myself in the doorway.....or maybe I'll be so frozen I won't feel it. One can only hope.

I've an idea, Tuhreeesah. You're on the right track with the frozen idea - - you really will not feel anything if yer boobs are frozen...... . .Might I suggest standing outside the medical clinic, just before your appointment, and opening your coat, lifting up your sweater and bra, and letting them be completely exposed for, say, three or four minutes. You will be numb for an hour, perhaps, and will feel no discomfort from the squishing plates.

Yes, this is a grand idea. Must remember to re-jig my yearly appointment so that it falls in January instead of August. . . . . ....

NO!! NO!! NO!! Do not freeze the girls before squishing!!!! . . . Hubby was outside this morning, picked up the hose and it broke in half because it was frozen!!! . . . I would hate for yer breasts to just fall off because they were frozen when they were squished . . . twould probably hurt even more . . . um, when you thawed a bit.

:lol:

They could use all those missing socks to keep warm.

[Darn210]

. . . and I had me an electric kettle for a while when I lived in Cincinnati about 18 years ago. GAH!!!! Probably still do in some box labeled "Stuff from work" that was moved and never opened.

Well. . . . . . I am certain that any man you're gonna talk to would give his first born to be hangin' out in that dimension . . .. ...

You guys don't do electric kettles?! Man....I actually don't own one, but they are a staple in this culture.....just need an outlet, and BANG! Tea!

[Jestgar]

And tea fixes everything, right?

[jerseyangel]

And tea fixes everything, right?

I've always thought so

I think the Americans dumped all their electric kettles into Boston harboUr on December 16, 1773.

Put water in, plug in, and boil away. Open Original Shared Link

Oh sillies- having an awphul day here.....me boss yelled at me....actually made me cry...but I did not let her dare see it. She is not going to get that satisifaction! She said awful things like I am draggin her name in the mud and I cannot grasp simple concepts and such....I am shuddering thinking about it.....

Anyway- I am no where near ready for christmas, and not very in the mood for it this year. So much to do with the move and all. Plus money is not something we have an abundance of. We were shopping for the nieces and nephews on Saturday and I am still outraged over the prices of toys! Sheesh!

So anyway still in the deep freeze here..... @ 12:45 it was only 22 degrees!

GUYS!! I'm confuzzled, AND PERPLEXED

How can you live without an electric kettle???

Tea ABSOLUTELY must be had, AND cures ALL ills

...but not only for tea, boil the kettle for hot choc (add water) or gravy powder, or instant coffee (sacre bleu!! )

T'ain't right I say!!!....you MUST need boiling water for summat??

We do have a coffee percolator as well....we are not total philistines

OMG!! I need to put the oven on.......but where's me sunglasses??

I may be wrong, but I've a hunch that tea (& boiling water as well) predates electricity.

Given that, even *I* used to have an electric kettle, & I'm not even a tea drinker!! (Hence the used to)

Didn't buy it - 'twere a take-home after running the tests at Underwriters Labs.

Dang phorum wouldn't lemme in last night, so . ... . much catching up to do.

I've never had an electric kettle--an electric phrying pan, yes. I used to boil my tea (or anything) water in a tea kettle on the stove. Now, I use the microwave Actually, just had a spot

[DingoGirl]

nope, we simply canNOT boil water in this country :lol: It's been a terrible shame

YOU SILLYY!!!! We keep a kettle on the STOVE (well, I used to, but it was inferior and I need a new one, Nik would be appalled to know that I just boil water in a regular old saucepan now for me coffee in the French press) If you keep it on the stove, you don't have to clutter up yer counter space wif more crap.

but now you've all got me thinking.....and I want one

OMG - the smashed boobie universe Theresa you is WACKL!!!!!!

door to summer!!! So Narnia-esque!!

Amanda - so sorry about yer day, remember, this, too shall pass

speaking of sad - - my poor, young Jenn is deeply grieving her mother at this time ofyear - she died shortly before Christmas last year, so they were all so numb....this year it's hit her hard....AND she lost her job on Friday Weezee and I must nurture her tomorrow night when she makes the TEN-HOUR (at this time of year) drive from San Diego t stay wif us....

Aye-yi-yi what a double whammy :(

Wasn't it just a few months ago she re-freakin-located for this job????

[elye]

Amanda!! I am so sorry to hear about the confrontation with your boss. . . . . ...there is nothing worse. Her behaviour sounds very unprofessional to me - - you are an adult, and no matter what you have done (if anything), you never deserve to be yelled at. Never. BAH! Sooooozie's right, however - - this too shall pass!!!

Speaking of Soooooze.....you and Weeze have some caring and nurturing to do over the next few days! The poor thing - - a painful anniversary, and the loss of her job! Jenn is going to be right where she needs to be over Christmas... . ......

MIL's flight was cancelled from Whitehorse to Vancouver due to the blizzard-like conditions out west. BUT.... . .. . that strong, fierce English tenacity came rippling forth, and she got herself on another flight on Air North. So, she's now sitting at the Vancouver airport, waiting for a connecting flight. . . .

She could be tip-toeing in at 2am. Think I will put Sam Hill right in the entrance hall to welcome her.
