Good Morning, all!

STILL no sign of Amanda.. . . ..... I don't believe she's ever been away THIS long.......she checked in two or three times during her honeymoon, fer gawd's sake. . . .....

Stick around, Ptaoughmghmn! You flew in to check the new Royal Ascention, now you must stay to hear the new edicts, witness the alteration of that royal robe... . ..

Patteigh, I was always meaning to ask -- was there a problem getting the bejewelled mitre completely over yer curly head? I would imagine that further north things would have fit okay, but once you were in Tex-ASS, and curly helmet-head ensued - -you probably needed to alter IT. ..... ..

Gonna order a carton of Llama Chews today - -my dad is having trouble swallowing solid food right now, so this sounds like the answer...."great new product size and lack of choke" . ..... . .

Why don't ALL hospitals have Llama Chews in storage, at the ready??

[Jestgar]

Absolutely pouring rain here. I need the caffeinated chews this morning.

Lyle doesn't care for his new food and he woke me up at three this morning demanding something better (which he didn't get).

Gah. I'll be soaked by the time I get to work.

Am at "work" Sills.......Derek and I are noticing that the "time delay" for answers to questions (from me wackl boss) is VERRRRRRRRRRY long this morning. Sometimes, it's like a phone call to Europe (short time delay) but today....there's a good - 30-second? pause after a question is asked

Derek and I just stare at each other, waiting through the silence, counting off on our fingers

last night whilst watching a wonderful series on Native Americans on PBS, I figured out what in hell hairstyle I have

it was traditional among the apaches....when they lost a loved one, they hacked off their hair and wore it shoulder-length - see this photo of Geronimo:

Open Original Shared Link

:angry:

driving me insane......

Padt - I am pondering straightening it myself (have done this in the past) - - maybe the under layers..........

[Oscar]

Me, of course. Who else could it be?

Didja git it cut??.....the 'Geronimo cut' (BAND NAME!!!!) is quite choppy, bobesque even

Ya gotta get more layerz, MORE CHOPPYNESS!!! STAT!!!!!

Miss me Alsey whilst simultaneously enjoying the peace

Miss me Alsey whilst simultaneously enjoying the peace

Nik--I was charmed by this As the mum of boys myself, I so remember this feeling

Now Sooz--about yer hair.....did I read you cut it?? Straightening is so nice until yer hair grows ...then you have to either touch it up ever so carefully or (gasp) grow it out. Big decision.....no going back

I keep going back and forth about it myself.....the curls wouldn't be so bad if I could inject some moisture into them.....Nik--any safe (gluten-free) suggestions? I already use conditioner.

Alas PadT .... a constant battle meselph

Unfortunately the cuticle of curly hair is 'ruffled' (as opposed to laying flat with straight hair)....as the cuticle is lifted it doesn't hold on too well to its natural oils AND it needs like A TON of product to stick that cuticle DOWN to make the hair look shiny

Did I get a bit scientific then???

[jerseyangel]

Did I get a bit scientific then???

Well yes, but then again you are a professional

I'm thinking maybe a leave-in conditioner.....must ponder this.

[psawyer]

Well, I just came by to say how pleasant it is here today. I'm out on the deck wif two kitties enjoying the weather.

Conversation here seems to be a bit hairy today. The full moon isn't for a couple of days yet.

If I were to go and sit outside right now, twould be a very hairy situation--it's very humid....

Enjoy yer fresh air and kitties

Yeah maybe, I just rub a small amount in my hands and put it on the ends.....I found the 'spray' leave in a tad too greasy for me ...... but it might work for you Pads

Ok, could someone please get over here and restrain me? I'm still on steroids from the rash I had (turned out to be sumac, by the way, eeek) so I'm going nuts in the kitchen today because I ran out of stuff to do.

I put white rice and cashew/carrot/ginger soup in the crockpot with chunked up chicken and broccoli for lunch tomorrow. I've got two pounds of ground beef and an enormous pile of chopped onion to do something for dinner with. Ideas welcome. trying to figure out a way to use my ripe avocados with that. And I'm making maple rice pudding. You know, I found a recipe for maple rice pudding that called for 1/3 cup sugar plus one tsp maple flavoring. Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't it be easier (and healthier) to just use 1/3 cup of maple syrup? Duh.

Meanwhile, back at the farm......

Hows you guys?!?!

Whhooooo!!!!!!! I'm on drugs!!!!

Oh, and the really special part? To get me gluten free prednisone they had to give me one milligram pills. I had to take FORTY pills for FOUR days. Thankfully they're very little. Then thirty pills for four days..... Oy.

[flourgirl]

Pieter, I'm glad some one is having nice weather. We are currently paying for the good weather we had.....it's been days of gloomy (Earl) grey and rain.....and looks like days of rain to come. Poo!!! The weeds are gleefully over-running everything (I can hear them laughing, can you?) while the "good plants" are complaining of cold, wet feet! I've been out a couple of times to get after weeds, but the clouds open up and pour buckets of cold rain on my (curl-less) head. Summer coming soon (oh, pleze, oh pleze)

Psuess....sorry that I can't identify with the hairy problems. Mine will not curl. I do mostly cut my own...and if it looks not-so-hot, what the heck, it grows out. I also mostly don't care what it looks like...that helps quite a lot

Almost phorgot! Aww Hellll to the new Kween Minimome Hope your rain supreme! I see you are already aware of the offishul kourt gesture

Ptawwwmmm pooped in! Wish we saw you more often (not necessarily more of you). Miss that spying EyE!

Keep it shiny....no matter the weather

[jerseyangel]

Good gawd Bunnie Yer STILL on meds ??? H-anus!

Two things on the pudding--yep, I would just go with the maple syrup and when you feel better, can I have the recipe? I love anything maple

When can you wean off the steroids?

[jerseyangel]

Shiny day back at cha, Teeressa!!

[elye]

Bunnie's on forty pills a day!

I would make spaghetti sauce wif all that ground beef and onion.....then it can double up for the next meal as a topping fer nachos or taco filler (I just add kidney beans). . ....

[jerseyangel]

Good idea, Emmel, on the sauce. That can be used a million ways.

Actually, that was just for the first few days. I'm down to ten a day til I run out, not that much really, just enough to keep my system from having a 'resurgence'.

And I would do the pasta sauce, but I'm not doing tomato right now cuz I think they make my tummy angry. I'm gonna challenge in a few weeks, but for now I have to get creative, hence the avocado. Hmmm, maybe if I creamed it up with some sour cream and garlic powder and mixed it in with pasta and the beef & onions......

Oh, thanks Padt!! But I actually feel pretty great!!! Which is why I'm cooking so much. It's very easy to see how people get hooked on steroids. Just google maple rice pudding, you'll see the first three recipes that pop up like I did. My rice didnt cook enough fast enough though so I'm having to add more milk and cook longer, oh well. And now you can has dairy!!!

[Jestgar]

mmmmmm ground beef and onions

add tomato (sauce) fer spaghetti

add cream cheese/sour cream for a stroganoff type thing

toss wif rice (and veggies) for a rice and veggie thing

in between rice or corn tortillas with cheese for a quesadilla thing

on rice or corn tortillas for a taco thing

mix wif cheese, wrap in dough and bake for a bun type thing
