Umm, yes, cats (mine) like to puke ONLY on rarely found carpetted areas (cat puke = GROSS,ew!)

For some reason the juxtaposing of Hork along with proper grammatical explanations strikes me as very funny. Good to know, however, that hork can be used as a transitive verb.

Well hork me, that is phunny!!!!!!!!!!

Hork is a verb that I remember from my teenage years, oh so long ago. As we used it, it referred only to one sense, involving expectoration of phlegm. And then spitting in onto the sidewalk or whatever surface was close at hand. :greenfacedguy: Yeah, sometimes one of us would "hork a big one."

Hmmm....in california, we always said "hawk" - - or was it honk? "he honked a loogie"

"he hawked a loogie" not sure.....but it was never hork, to my knowledge....

unless.........the "R" is simply not pronounced

My gawd.....I've missed everybody! We're at a hotel for the next few nights....the movers came a day early, on Friday, and got the whole job knocked out in 2 days. Our closing isn't until Tuesday afternoon.

Padt's homeless!!!! and in a hotel, eating toast! didja have to bring yer own toaster and crap? Well of COURSE you did totally blows........seeing your boys, aw that is good......keep a stiff upper lip, Padt

What I want to know is how Jess was planning on using it??

I believe it had to do with cat vomit?

OK, can someone please tell me why, out of my whole giant living room, the cats have to puke right where the hallway is.

eeeeww

It is an unwritten, invisible rule of Cat Law. What I want to know is, at what age do they start this? Kitteh Boy is perfect, has done no barph yet.....

he is adorable My mom calls him Dream Cat and is wildly jealous of his affectionate, adorable, neurosis-free ways.....her three cats are useless, really

DD's birthday today. Trying to keep the mood up 'round here... . . ..and today is International Peace Day. Jack's school is having a huge rally/symposium this afternoon. The keynote speaker is Arun Ghandi, Mahatma's grandson. He will be speaking about inner peace, and how it must be nurtured and fostered from infancy so that we can have real outer peace in this troubled world we are in today.

Jack is doing the French emcee-ing. Local TV and radio news channels will be there...perhaps it will end up on youtube!

Jack speaks French? Does everyone up there speak French? I thought that was only in Quebec.....wait.......are you quite near Quebec? Are yer kids Quebecois?

does Poeter speak French too? phluently?

am I just sooooo stupid?

Hi Nik, Hi Judith, and a weak but mildly silly hello to all sillies...........

apologies to Jess (SNOWING again in Seattle? what in hell) but, it's near 70 here today and pure blue skies....the gentle spring days.....so pharking phleeting Must enjoy!

Ottawa is just across the Ottawa River from Kay-beck. The federal government is a major employer in the region, and to work for them you pretty much have to be fluent in both languages.

I am originally from Ottawa, and learned French as a child, but we moved to Toronto in 1960, and for six years I did not use it at all. Then six years of it in school, in which I did well, but then it again fell into disuse. I can get by, but am a long way from fluent. I read okay, but have trouble sometimes keeping up with speech. As to expressing myself, well, the only good thing is that, because I learned it as a young child, I speak without an English-Canadian accent.

Sophie is also fluent in French. Happy birthday, Sophie!

Padt's homeless!!!! and in a hotel, eating toast! didja have to bring yer own toaster and crap? Well of COURSE you did totally blows........seeing your boys, aw that is good......keep a stiff upper lip, Padt

Y'all have glossed over the fact that this means NO washing of sheets, NO bed making, NO dishes...

I wanna be homeless for a few days.

[Darn210]

Happy Birfday Sofe!!

Suepzee, we used hawk also . . . now feel the need to clear my throat.

[Jestgar]

Jess's freezers with names ....well why wouldn't you?

I sometimes fear that I'm letting out too many unknown things about scientists; that we'll lose the mystique. Now, when some respected researcher comes on the news, instead of thinking "Wow! He's a scientist!" You'll be thinking "Hey, I wonder what he named his freezers..."

[elye]

Well hork me, that is phunny!!!!!!!!!!

Hork me

Ah, hork off... This sounds great....gonna start using it... . . ...

Jack speaks French? Does everyone up there speak French? I thought that was only in Quebec.....wait.......are you quite near Quebec? Are yer kids Quebecois?

Yep, living so close to Quebec means most of us here parlent Francais. A great language....so much better, all around, than our own dreaded English language. How did such a lingo, so fraught with ridiculous rules, exceptions, idiosyncracies and grammatical cruxes, become the International language of Humanity??

Y'all have glossed over the fact that this means NO washing of sheets, NO bed making, NO dishes...

I wanna be homeless for a few days.

YES.... . . . . . .moi aussi. .. . .....

Pahteeeeigh! Hope you are managing in yer hotel room, with a nice, firm mattress, rich, room-blackening drapes, lovely dimmable lamps....and of course, the handy Gideon bible for those quiet moments. . . . ..

[Darn210]

Ahhhhhh . . . but you forget . . . Patti likes to do laundry. I now have visions of Patti in the hotel laundry washing her own sheets and towels.

:lol: Pscientist Mystique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *snort* er - I mean *horkl*

Ahhhhhh . . . but you forget . . . Patti likes to do laundry. I now have visions of Patti in the hotel laundry washing her own sheets and towels.

she does! Hope the sheets are a nice, high thread-count, and spritzed with lavender

<doubt it>

I didn't know everyone was fluent in French up there! J'ai envie de parler! I have forgotten too much.

Then again, not much use for it here in the 'No.

Morning sillies-

exhausted- spent a long weekend at home with my family- uncle had a major heart attack identical to my dad about 3 weeks ago and underwent the same surgery. Last week he ended up back in the hospital with an infection--and at the time of the intitial surgery they had amputated several toes on his left leg due to poor circulation--the toes got infected and the infection traveled to his heart--how the visiting nurse did not see this coming has astounded us all. My uncle lives alone- never married no kids- he lives about 2 minutes from my parents who have been looking in on him daily. My dad came to the house on Friday morning to find my uncle pretty much out of it- he could barely talk and when he did speak it was jumbled words, he had no control of motor skills and he was starting to shake violently--he was taken by ambulance back to the hospital--and now he is fighting for his life- they took the rest of his leg off as well to above his leg. The infection had killed quite a bit. If they didn't take the leg he would have died from that alone. None he is in a medically induced coma so they can keep him open--his entire chest wound from the first surgery is infected and needs to heal---its a mess.....

So Imade a late night trip back here and am at work for the time being--we have 2 audits at the end of this week so I need to be here to get that done...

This has not been a good week for us at all---in sillyville and now for me outside--life has been testing me to say the least.

So my prayers are with all sillies and the families of those as well...keep up the positive notes---everyone will get through.
