The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[flourgirl]

I must share the news, friends. We're expecting...ducks!! This crazy momma mallard has planted four little greyish/green eggs in me rhododendrun

This is quite wackl--we live in a hugely populated subdivision whose only source of water is the errant swimming pool (which haven't been open since last Labor Day.)

The poor little dear.

Mu hubby is tres excited--I think he's more excited about the impending duckies then he was when I was preggers with me daughter

I told him this was probably a portent to "get our ducks in a row", but he says it's probably more a sign that the "cheese has fallen off me quwackers".

My Animal Speak book says this:

"The mallard...can be very amiable and display a wide variety of emotions.

It may reflect a need to to find comfort...with those of like mind and spirit."

Ooooh, good stuff, huh?

Mimm-e-o! You must rush to the store and buy a little kiddie-pool for the duckies!!! Those babies are going to need to learn to swim

[DingoGirl]

She's a talk-tease.

I yam. Probably will not reveal all on this phorum. Just titillating bits and pieces.

Yep, I've been kinda quiet. Cabernet Sauvignon is a good choice. In the alternative:

Combine eight parts gin with one part dry vermouth in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with olives. Cheers!

Minnesota? Yeah, serious winters there. My mother is from Minnesota.

Judy, it will be nineteen years for me next week. You can do it!

Peter! that martini of your'n is just too..........serious for me. I need sumphin more........phruity? phrivolous? umm.............SWEETER????????? maybe with an umbrella or something in a brown paper bag?

I know you all know one another much better than you know me, but I have wanted to mention that my husband is a moderator on the Blue Gorrillas website and every year they have a reunion. It's a lot of fun. Not every one goes every year, but we webcam it for those who can't make it. The guys have a stuffed blue gorilla that they send to each other. His journeys are photographed and posted and he travels with a suitcase filled with mementos, a scrapbook, and a journal--it is very funny to see some of the places he has been and with whom.

So, I just wanted to say that it would be GREAT FUN to see you crazy kooks in person!! And maybe send a silly little yak on a trip around the world, too.

Umm...............Mimms, WHAT is this Blue Gorilla thingy of which you speak???????? How did it start? Is that gorilla like that traveling gnome that was kidnapped from Pacific Grove, CA?

I am simply OUT OF MY MINNNNNNNNDD for yer hubby's group and concept!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SILLS - do we need to get an yeti and start sending it around?

must ponder this.......MUST have more info!!!!!!!!!!!

And to you, Susan/Dingo Babe,

I am truly sorry to hear that you are sad, angry, and in any way troubled. You, who bring such JOY to others, do not deserve to be anything but brilliantly happy, always.

This may surprise you, but I knew something was not right--sensed it. That's because I really like you, and appreciate knowing you, and now that you've become a part of my life I (and I'm sure I speak for all of us) find your unhappiness distressing.

I think that the life goes where the heart dictates, and that if you are meant to go to Minnesota, you shall. Or not. And try to remember that our families are not always a direct reflection of our own ability to soar and find happiness--if that were the case I'd be freakin MISERABLE right now

The truth is, it seems to me, that we are who we choose to be, not who our families, spouses, children, and friends tell us we are or want us to be. And you my friend, are pretty f--in cool.

Do be happy, and know that you are terribly important to SO MANY. <<Hugs>> from afar.

Mimms this actually made me cry.

I still struggle with the dark side, as all the Sills know. But it's not like before - I was pretty massively bipolar before dx, over three years ago. I gained the benefit of a quiet brain for the first time in my entire life, with the removal of the evil grain. But........sometimes I fall over into the abyss, still. Sometimes I get too hyper. Sometimes too sad. I'm an old lady now, who...............well............

as my theme song states.........

"I dreamed a dream in time gone byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..........."

BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to smoke a clove. Yes, I"m a smoker also......clove cigarettes. Used to be a pack a year? or so? tucked away in my freezer and pulled out for the full moon. I am up to at least a pack a month now. Scares me to death.

I have tried all my 21 perfume samples, in a matter of three days. read all the notes, made my own.......and for what? some of the world's most phamous boutique fragrances, and nearly all..........stinketh. But it's not their fault, I have strange body chemistry.

:lol:

Um, I don't really do sweet drinks--they f*** up my blood sugar too much. Perhaps Grand Marnier or Tia Maria, slowly sipped from a small snifter. Or chugged straight from the bottle.
