The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[elye]

Good Sunday Morning, All!

Just kinda stood in the middle of an aisle staring blankly into space...

Jess! Staring blankly into space....much like you are doing as the adorable baby in your av. Were you perhaps pondering similar things, all those 4* years ago? "My red wine tapioca pudding has just NOT set properly .....where in hell do I find some Coolwhip to fold into the mess, and save the day?"

The BIG question remains: What on earth did it TASTE like??

Michelle sits in sixth.... . ..don't think this will change, unless someone ahead of her drops out. You never know - - GO, MICHELLE, GO!!!

[nikki-uk]

The bright spot of my day is coming to read the 'funnies' on this thread. I swear Nikki you just crack me up..........i keep getting so far behind that when i go to post comments it's just taking so long.

Dear sweet Judy!, - I do that too - read along - LAUGH! - but don't necessarily comment

GADS Joodee, I know yer having a rough time of it - hang in there luv!!!!! {{{{{hugs}}}}}}

They're locked in the basement at the moment.

Best place for 'em!

Bev & her sister in NY?!?!?!

[flourgirl]

Hi Niknik....Bev-really and her Sis are in Ner York to see some Lymies!!! I thought you knew. They fully expect to be turning the city upside down....but in a place like that weirdness and high energy hardly get noticed. I hope they are having a grand time!

[Judyin Philly]

Thanks all for your encouragement.

I'm hanging in there for sure.

Really really good. Kinda fruit flavored with a little bite of alcohol. Dark chocolate shavings would have been perfect. And real whipped cream, of course.

[Jestgar]

Thanks all for your encouragement.

I'm hanging in there for sure.

Judes! Started raining here, too. ah well. Just a reminder of how much we're supposed to appreciate the sun.

Nice re cap Julie.........Thanks for missing me.

I have been trying to not come to the computer room as it is where is used to do my smoking

I swear to god..........I've been sick ever since I quit. Been to the asshat GI 2 times and she is more stupid than the 3-D painting subject Susie posted

I'm hanging on by a thread guys but I'll make it

Don't eat the WAWA!!!!!!!! I know it's hard Judy but I'm so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs JueDee . . . way to stick wif the smoke-free . . . hope yer feelin' better soon. Don't believe we've heard from Bev . . . and I haven't seen anything on the national news about mayhem in New York caused by a pair of sisters.

Not yet you haven't! We leave Tuesday :P

Plan b. Cool whip. At this point I realized that never in my 4* years of life have I bought Cool whip. I had no idea where to look. Just kinda stood in the middle of an aisle staring blankly into space...

It's cool wh-ip (emphasis on the WH). OMG- I love the stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

T'is therapeutic all that whipping

You've been whipping yourself at home? Flagellating, hmmm? A little M without the S

Hang in there Judy- remember, YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy GAWD.....the hole thing looked like an anus HEINOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The painting CLEARLY was of the Pillsbury Dough Boy's death!

Crackin' me up, Bevel....!

DH and I went snowshoeing this am in a huge trailed field nearby. Gus and Elsie were racing along through the psnough, and Elsie suddenly stopped, looked around, and did a huge poop. Unbelievably, it looked EXACTLY like the shape in the wormy/fecal painting. Exactly. Same twirly, Dairy-Queen shape, same coloUr.....I did not have my phone/camera, or you can be certain it would have been my next avatar.

Upon Elsie dropping this thang, I immediately yelled, "Wow! That looks JUST like a mystery shape that is in this painting we've been contemplating in Da Ville!"

Will did not even stop to stare at me, nor at the poop.....just picked up his speed, shaking his head, silent. . . . . .

Bev and her sis descend on NYC in two days. . . . .....

...... . Ya Wanna wake up in a city that never sleeps. . . .... ♪ ♫

[JNBunnie1]

That lady created the ugliest kitchen I have ever seen in my entire life.

And yes, that is a painting of poop.

[elye]

And yes, that is a painting of poop.

Not just any poop.....Elsie's poop...!

[Darn210]

The overnight guest have all departed . . . quite successful, I think. I pulled the "Skeeter's mom is sooooo lame" trick by going and sleeping in the same room as them at about 12:40pm. Reported to all the parents picking up that their child got about 6 1/2 to 7 hours of sleep. Two out of the three were pleasently surprised and a "that's pretty good" and "you did better than I did at ours" . . . the third was . . . "well, I guess there will be a lot of fighting today" and this was the parent of the child that was actually keepting the rest up.

Hubby asked how long before Skeeter asks to invite someone over today to play. I didn't think she would but as luck would have it, she got a call about an hour later so she's already off.

I've managed to snooze (not sleep though) for about an hour. Now it's time to hit the laundry pile.

Em! EM!!! you should have made the effort to get that picture...even if it meant going BACK for the camera!!! You could have blown up the pic, framed it, and sold it for LOTS of MONEY to that woman and probably all of her friends of no taste!

[DingoGirl]

Told my hubby today that since i'm so sick with the non stop 'd' why not just go and have that apple fritter at WAWA that i've wanted for over 3 1/2 years. Couldn't be any worse that what's going on now. Maybe the gluten will plug me up

Judith so sorry you're feeling suck-y Hang in there, Lady

Okay, I am heading over there right now to check . .. .....obviously we are not notified in our regular email if we are sent such crazy thangs . .. ...

I think you can fix that....check your settings

*snort* Yes - Will just sort of ignores it all now, doesn't he?

Sometimes in conversation with people here, someone will look at me and say, "did you get that from your Sillies" Answer is usually YES

gian-knit survived the sleepover!

Bunnie - the KITCHEN was ugly? I thought that was the only tolerable room

the purple and pink bedroom with vomit-patterned splotch wallpaper scared me the most I could NOT stop staring......

Bevel yer whole post

got nowt else, Sills - - not feelin' so hot today

but Janie coming over this aft for Oscar pre-shows......that'll be fun and I can still lie (lay?) on the couch wif blankies...........

[elye]

This is a tremendous idea.. . . ....it will still be there, frozen solid in its perfect twirly shape....I must head back wif me camera. Brace yerselves, guys - - my humble rescued sub-standard poodle may just become the next cultural phenom. Elsie the Art-Excreting Canine....... . just keep an eye out - -The Today Show, Letterman - - who knows?

[Judyin Philly]

Hi Again

thanks for the pep talks.....they do help

Bev hope you can get to NY with this snow coming

Anyone watching the Oscars.?

[elye]

Anyone watching the Oscars.?

Oh, probably.........how can ya not?

Well! I'm typing from my newly cleaned-up laptop.. . . . .. holy crap, there was SO much viral, corrupt stuff on this machine.. . . . ....really bad. My boot volume is now mountable, I suppose. My geek computer man said to me, "Let me guess....the user "Sophie" is your young teenaged daughter". Yep. My young, downloading daughter . .. . .. ...exposing us all to heinous viral attacks.. .. . . ..

SOS SOS SOS!!! Calling all MATHIES!!! Jyagnitt, Jess, POeter, Ptaoughmghmn! Gad. . . . ....

I was asking The Ripper for one of his famous Ponderable Questions to post, and DD suddenly piped up, "OH! Pleeeeeaaaase post my math homework question that is IMPOSSIBLE!! I cannot figure it out....it's driving me nuts! Sooooooo hard"..........

Okay, so here it is....throwing it out there for you numbers people to grapple with and come to her rescue.......

Okay, take it away Sophie:

To solve this problem, you have to make up 2 equations, then solve using substitution or elimination. ( Real math wizzes will understand what I mean)

Darius saves $500 and wants to open a chequing account. Ontario Trust charges $8 per month, plus $.50 per cheque. Maple Leafs Savings charges $6 per month, plus $.75 per cheque. Which bank offers the lowest monthly charge?

Dear Gawd...............

[flourgirl]

Emily....do they give any suggestion as to how many checks are going to be written on average? Or do you need to extrapolate at what point the charges become the same? That is your variable!!!

[elye]

Crap! I dunno.....!!! (Sophie, here)..........

[jerseyangel]

Yeah--wouldn't it all depend on how many checQUes were written?

[flourgirl]

Here's what I mean....If bank one charges $8 plus .50 per check at 10 checks ($5) then the monthly charge is $13. Bank 2 charges $6 plus .75 per check at 10 checks (7.5) then the charge that month is $13.5. It all is going to depend on how many checks the depositor plans to write each month as to how much the monthly fee will be.

Dear Gawd...............

OK . . . I'll present it like I was thinking about it . . . Sophie can massage the equations however she likes . . .

The answer depends on the number of checks cheques written so I solved for the break even number . . . the number of cheques that result in the same monthly charge at both banks:

X is the breakeven numbr of cheques.

Y is the monthly charge when there are X cheques.

Y is the same for both banques.

Y = $8 + $.5X

Y = $6 + $.75X

$8 + $.5X = $6 + $.75X

which reduces to

$2 = .25X

X = 8

So if he writes less than 8 cheques/mo he should go with Maple Leaf Savings, if he writes more than 8, he should go with Ontario Trust.

Since you don't know how many checks are being written, there is not one clearcut answer.

If you set them up as equalities, you can figure out at how many checks they would be the same.

8+.50x=y

6+.75x=y

Therefore

8+.50x=6+.75x

subtract 6 from both sides

2+.50x=.75x

subtract .50x from both sides

2=.25x

divide both sides by .25

8=x

sooo.....at 8 checks, they are the same

Now go back to the original equations and insert a number lesser or greater than 8 to find which is the lowest monthly charge at less than 8 checks or more than 8 checks.

[flourgirl]

Very good JGiannet!!! I didn't think to put it in Algebraic form. Yer SO Smaaarrt!

Em...tell Rippelittle that if it's any consolation...I didn't get Math AT ALL in high school! It's probably what they learn in grade school these days. I went to college 10 years after high school....and the lightbulbs went off big time!!!! I got it! For some people the light bulbs happen earlier, for some of us later. There's hope.....really
