The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[Darn210]

Hello All . . . I'm back from Illannoy. I've got lots to read and am debating on whether I will read it or not . . . then Susie mentions a Mrs Robinson/man-child topic and so I suppose I shall have to go back to investigate.

But first . . . must do laundry, go grocery shopping, install plant some of me own flowers, make some phone calls . . . would rather go back to bed.

[elye]

Lisa, need a recipe for chicken noodle soup?!?!

Gah! I would love it!

Hiya, Jyahgnutt! Yes, many pages have flipped, bringing forth some interesting discussions on vaginal microphones, penis poetry, Jyess's new civckebs and Sooozle's boy/man. .. . ....gawd, so much more, but this is not in my wheelhouse....... .

Leeeeesargh!! Summative, puleeeze!

Hope all was okay with your parents. How are you thinking your mom is?

[jerseyangel]

Hi Jan-it! How was yer visit?

Mornin sillies--got nuttin.....pheelin kinda blah. No reason, maybe it's just "Monday".

Bunnie--how do you do your garlic mashed potatoes?

[Darn210]

Brian is coming home this Tues. He finally got a physical therapist in our network, and he said Brian needs to find a home and stay there for his

entire PT, which could last into Aug. So that's why he decided it was time to come home. He will be getting a temporary leg soon. He remains in good spirits.

Says his nick-name is 'Stumpy' .......lordy

Well, Smackl used to want to be called Zap . . . he thought it would make him sound "fast" or sumptin'. Hubby and I told him that you don't get to pick your own nicknames . . . someone gives them to you. We offered to call him Stinky but he didn't take us up on it.

Same goes wif Brian!!! He doesn't get to pick!! I'm sure we sillies can come up wif a good'en!!

How about

Ilene . . . too feminine??

Peg . . . also too feminine??

Weeble . . . cuz they wobble but they don't fall down . . . wait, does he fall down??

Stinky??

[Darn210]

Hope all was okay with your parents. How are you thinking your mom is?

Not for here . . . I'll email later.

Leeeeesargh!! Summative, puleeeze!

No rest for the weary?........and sick?

Gotta pass this time..........I have nae the energy.

Stinky??

As far as I know, he hasn't fallen, but came awful close a few times.....crutches are hazardous on wet floors........at the hospital, no less!

Stay cozy under a named blankie. Methinks this is the secret. . . . .. .. .

Gad, I was lookin' at me mailman this morning from a whole different perspective, I'm afraid. He would be, in my estimation, about 28 . . .. . . ....

what ya looking at yer man child mailman for?????

OMG - I DID call my blankie a bobo - but all blankies were called bobos.

and then - my dad started calling his fan Bobo. All the men in my family (and me) slept with fans on, for white noise.....so it was a security blanket of sorts. (I would DIE without me bobo and - all sillies take note - in addition to the lavendar-spritzed sheets I NEED A BOBO fer sleep!!!!!!!!!)

Two things I've learned in the past day and a half:

chickens make a lot of poop.

Chickies want to stand on their water bowl to drink, so ya better have one that'll support the weight of a teen chicken and not tip over.

Hello All . . . I'm back from Illannoy. I've got lots to read and am debating on whether I will read it or not . . . then Susie mentions a Mrs Robinson/man-child topic and so I suppose I shall have to go back to investigate.

Nope - no man-child. that would be my beloved Derek, and I work with him, but NOTHING will ever happen there, poor lad. He DOES want a Mrs. Robinson relationship, though.

what I DID have was a ridiculously heinous date with a Man Boy. A difference.

Gianknit, glad yer back!!!! we missed you.

Same goes wif Brian!!! He doesn't get to pick!! I'm sure we sillies can come up wif a good'en!!

How about

Ilene . . . too feminine??

Peg . . . also too feminine??

But my gawd - - WHAT COLOUR ARE HIS CRUTCH TIPS????????????

[curlyfries]

:lol:

Crutch tips are grey........but pretty sure I mentioned that some time ago

[Jestgar]

Could we call him Tippy?

Optimus Prime? As soon as he gets his new transformer limb.

[elye]

OMG.....Brian's nicknames. . . ... . . . ...

If ya threw him into a lake, you could call him Bob. . . .....

GREY crutch-tips?? Hmmmm. . .. what does this mean? The one in my ho' tub was brick-coloUred, Brian's are grEy, there are hairless alpacas down the street from Jyesss... . .. .......

Speaking of all this, lookit THIS kick-arse bloke!

There are ass-kicking competitions out there?

[Darn210]

Optimus Prime . . . O.P. for short . . . which we'll turn into Opie (as in the Andy Griffith Show). Can Brian whistle?

[Judyin Philly]

Judith! Can't wait to talk gardening with you!

I can use all the help i can get on CA plants thats for sure

Went to work Friday feelin like I'd been beat up.

Thought it was me fibro......weather has been dreary fer days.

Slept terribly that night and discovered I had a temp.......got up to 103.3 by Sat. evening

Dragged meself to Immediate Care to find I have the flu .....no designer virus.....just yer everyday garden variety flu.

.....so much I had wanted to do before Brian comes home on Tues.

Just take care of yourself Lisa. Brian will just be so happy to be home

Patti........hope your blagh doesn't last too long.

i went to 3 Starbucks for the cake.

Finally one lady called ahead to another store and they had one left so they put my name on it..............it was so worth the drive.

Will be nice when traveling to have a place that has something

the woman said the responce has been so overwhelming she hopes they add more products too.

The ingre are fine for me

it's on a line that runs peanuts and tree nuts ...i think it said.......but it agreed with me.

Hi Jan-it! How was yer visit?

Mornin sillies--got nuttin.....pheelin kinda blah. No reason, maybe it's just "Monday".

Bunnie--how do you do your garlic mashed potatoes?

Just dropped 200$ at Tj's on groceries. No biggie, I don't go often so gotta stock up, but it was a HERCULEAN effort getting all that crap in here..... Whew......

Patee, when I'm being lazy I just put alot of garlicpowder in the taters once mashed. When feeling ambitious, I slow-saute a great deal of finely chopped garlic in a great deal of butter then mix that in. I go heavy on the milk n butter n pepper, bit light on the salt. Pan roasted garlic makes em sweet, too. Mmmmm.... Definitely doin that tonight!

Edited to say: Keep in mind, I make a LOT of potatos when i make mashed tatoes, BF is mad for them, so I wouldn't saute a GREAT deal of garlic for just two normal people....

Ah--slow saute-ing the garlic in butter. That sounds so good. I have tried putting a couple cloves of peeled garlic in the cooking water for the potatoes, and that's not bad, but not as flavorful as I'd like. I'm gonna try your way next time

Hi Judith!! So happy you got "the cake" Sounds like it went over big up there, too.

[elye]

Okay, I'm heading out to the nearest Starbucks (unfortunately, not right around the corner like all the #*!#%!#@* Tim Horton's at every intersection, it would seem) to ask about availability in Canada . .. ....my mom is now eating gluten-free (her blood panel was "inconclusive".....uh huh. . .... ), so it would be nice to be able to go out for an afternoon tea with her and have something like this.

[curlyfries]

OMG!!!!!.....How many times have I heard him tell people he was lookin for some a$$ to kick.....referring to the 'one legged man in an a$$ kicking contest"?

TOO many, I tell ya!

Optimus Prime . . . O.P. for short . . . which we'll turn into Opie (as in the Andy Griffith Show). Can Brian whistle?

Whistle???.......don't believe I've ever heard him.......so I guess that would be a no.

[jerseyangel]

Had a chance to go back <shudder> and read everything instead of just skim.....

What sillies have kids? Tell me, I wants to know.

I have 2 sons--ages 24 and 28

Meeee too, Pahteee! Probably got too much sugar, howevah. . . ....

Yeah, Em....I shoulda thought of that. It's even harder fer you to get a treat.

Put some pics o' my kids on da book.

So cute--was that Lyle peeking in?

Gahh! just saw 'em .. . .SOOOOO adorable, wif their widdle beaks. ........

Yeah--the widdle beaks

Dragged meself to Immediate Care to find I have the flu .....no designer virus.....just yer everyday garden variety flu.

Are you feeling any better this afternoon, Leesiugh?

Ilene . . . too feminine??

Peg . . . also too feminine??

OMG <snort>

[elye]

OMG!!!!!.....How many times have I heard him tell people he was lookin for some a$ to kick.....referring to the 'one legged man in an a$ kicking contest"?

Unbelievable! And there he is! PRIME, UNDEFEATED arse-kicker!!

[DingoGirl]

Leesargh - feeling any better?

What was that nickname Geoss came up with? Optimus sumfin? what in hell is that

Um - this morning I found my Ipod (w/ headphones attached) dragged off kitchen counter and onto the living room floor. Got to work, tried to use it....wee Skittle had chewed the ear buds apart - I now must buy new ones. those were just three weeks old.

I love him

(he also dragged a big onion off kitchen counter and that is in living room also)

note to self - do not leave things on the counter

MORE LATER!!!!!!!!!! forgot everything else

[jerseyangel]

(he also dragged a big onion off kitchen counter and that is in living room also)

Musta been cute when he hit it off the counter and batted it around the floor.

The other day whilst I was doing laundry, Allo quietly crept up and tried to hop into the dryer. He doesn't do much stuff like that anymore.

"Like a dog meowing"

[JNBunnie1]

"Like a dog meowing"

HAHAHAHAAA!!!!! My mother showed me this video yesterday.

Have you seen the Greek Irish dancers? Stavros Flatley? Bloody HEE-LARIOUS!

[DingoGirl]

Crutch tips are grey........but pretty sure I mentioned that some time ago

_{I might have been in some Phuzzie orange haze.}

Musta been cute when he hit it off the counter and batted it around the floor.

he is very busy during the night.

Allo

Um - I thought that was quite scary, and he has a Tiny Tim quality to him. It made my cat come running in.

Speaking of Skittle, we have a catnip update.

I bought some today, and, he could not have been less interested. No reaction. Zilch.

I am so disappointed.
