JESS!!!!!!!!! {{{{HUGS}}}}} TO YOU LADY!!!!!

Hang onto Lefty--this is going to sound trite as hell but I firmly believe that when a door closes, a window opens. I've seen it happen many times.

I'm a firm believer meselph Patti

HI to all me peeps - got now't, but sending all me psillies that are down positive vibes and {{{{hugs}}}}}!!!!!

[Green12]

Happy Friday Sills!

I must say I think Olympia Dukakis has become the new Chuck Norris. She's all over the place, hears all sees all knows all does all.

Patti, I am so sorry to hear about Allo. I feel like your loss is our loss, with all the stories you have shared over the last few years and the avatar pictures he was very much a part of our Silly family.

I know you will miss him so much and cherish all the wonderful memories you have of him

What did you think of the Lost final? And I also saw that new show from the Lost crators being promoted, looks really good!

Sarah So good to see a poop in from you!! I think of you often and hope you and the boys are well

Jess (((((HUGS)))))

Sorry about all the stress at work. The quote Patti shared is one of my favorites also, about the door closing and a window opening.

I hope you can get it all sorted out and find yourself in a better happier place, you so deserve it!!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Hee!

So good to see you here, Julie!! Thank you for the kind words about Allo. He was a good little guy.

I enjoyed the finale--of course it raised more questions than it answered.....but then that's Lost. Do you believe next season is the last?

[DingoGirl]

Work has been stressful for a while. Had a bit of a breakdown. Cried for hours. but, of course, since no one was in the lab working but me, it was quite private. May have quit. Sent an ambiguously worded email to the boss (who is again out of town) that I just couldn't do it. Not really sure what I will do. Can't really afford to quit, but don't know how to make myself go back.

I just don't know.

aww Jeoss hugs to you, my friend. The heinosity of a stressful job is just - untenable. I know we all hope that summat better shows up for you soon.....

Signs It's time to Leave a Taxi

-Driver asking you for directions

-Strong odor

-Taxi filling with smoke, flames

-Taxi going 50+ miles above speed limit, up on two wheels

-Banging, cries for help coming from trunk

-Driver texting

-Driver vomiting

-Driver drinking out of paper bag

-Driver sobbing, expressing loss of will to carry on

*snort* all of these cracked me up!!!!

STOOOOPID adversity part, fo sho!! Like Olympia Dukakis at my dad's bedside, moving all the foodstuffs around on his tray so that he, legally blind, cannot find his juice...........er sumphin'... .. .. .... . ..

the noive!!!!!!!!

Sills as I'm reading this, suddenly it occurs to me - I wonder how many celebrities have been mentioned on our nearly three-year-old wackl thread :lol:

Gawd......the parades alone!!! we had tons

Olympia as the new Chuck Norris!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jools!

Peter--

Before I forget. ABC ran a promo for "Flash Forward" last night during the "Grey's Anatony" finale. They seem to be promoting it quite a bit!

OMG - Had not read the article until yesterday - did NOT know it was goign to be a series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY COW!!! this is so exciting!!!!!!!!!

Um - is it going to be as confusing as "Lost"

I watched most of the season finale of Grey's last nigh - am not a regular watcher any more - are Izzy and George really leaving? dead? what???

[jerseyangel]

I watched most of the season finale of Grey's last nigh - am not a regular watcher any more - are Izzy and George really leaving? dead? what???

We don't know! It was left as a cliffhanger--it could go either way for one or both of them. My personal opinion is that Izzy survives and George does not. Guess it all depends on their contract negotiations

Hee!

What she said

Home. Eating chocolate chip mint ice cream. Called a friend that I just heard got laid off and talked her into going out for margaritas this afternoon. (It wasn't that hard of a sell.) After I've gotten all sugared up I plan to tackle some of the things that you can't get to when you get home at 9pm, like...dishes....and....giant balls of floating catfur.

Sounds like a good plan fer tonight!

[JNBunnie1]

Wish me luck- I'm testing coffee, it's been probly a 1/2 to a whole year by now. My boyfriend pestered me off daily coffee, quit for a while, thereafter I couldn't have none, not even decaf. So I needed a boost n I'm gonna be home all day, why not try? I put milk and Irish creme flavoring in it..... Mmmmmmmm...... coffeee......

Gess- this helps me when I'm royally enervated by coworkers- Ever have one of those dreams where you're naked in school and everyone's laughing? Picture them like that. Only works when you're home, alone, quiet, with free time to sit and make up movies in your head. But it works good.

Bunnie said ENERVATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one of me favorite words. Must remember to use it more often.

at least you DO the Sven. I'm so impressed. and soooooooo disinterested in it.

SILLIES!!!!! remember when I took that marvelous tumble into the rose bush? I can't recall if it was last weekend or the weekend before? when in hell was it?

well anywho......the ball of my foot kept hurting, but I just ignored it - figgered it was residual pain from the rose thorn punctures.

So - um - last night, I investigated - and pulled out about a quarter-inch thorn with tweezers.

:lol:

'twas VERY satisfying

Must mow the bloody lawn now.

Um, holy heck, it is going to be

ONE HUNDRED AND THREE DEGREES HERE

on Monday.

am beyond furious.

[elye]

Wish me luck- I'm testing coffee, it's been probly a 1/2 to a whole year by now.

Bunneeee! NOT cat-poo coffee, mehopes!

All right, I need help from you hilarious, creative, in-the-know peeps. My nephew has sent us an invitation to his wife's birthday party -- he's having a "Trailer Trash Bash"....

"Ties and formal wear prohibited. No shoes, no shirt, no problem. Friends from the trailer park are welcome, as are mullets and sweat pants".

So.....what in hell do I wear as a trailer park chick?? DH will be easy -- I can picture the redneck guy no trouble. . .......I've googled "trailer park clothes" and just got pics of men. Big hair? Daisy Duke-type stuff? (As if. .......maybe fifteen years ago. ....)

[DingoGirl]

Emmel! how fabulous!! Um....just come to Clovis. We have lots of those kinds of men here.

I strongly suggest your husband cuts the sleeves off his t-shirt. A very popular fashion item here in Clovis, as mentioned on me facebook a while back. He also should insert a pillow in his stomach to emulate the beer belly.

see Heidi and Seal's recent wedding vow renewal:

as for you, you need to wear TONS of garish makeup, and get some kind of wig to make your hair really, really big and 80's-like. do that thing with the bangs called - was it "mall bangs" ?

where they stand straight up?

I'll ponder yer outfit later. Maybe I"ll just drive around town and take some photos.

[JNBunnie1]

Um, if the coffee hits me, I won't be phunny-postin, I'll be toilet-sittin. I oughta get a laptop!

[jerseyangel]

Ooh--a double feature tonight :lol:

Eek!! On yer phoot Sooz No wonder it was hurtin

Mmmmm....lemme think..hair in rollers....sweat pants cut off into shorts (real short), one of Will's old t shirts (beer logo would be good...). Chew gum and crack it between yer teeth (I do this when not thinking ).....bright blue eyeshadow.....ought to be enough to get you started.

It sounds like phun!

Bunnie--how did you do wif the coffee?

[DingoGirl]

gum cracking!!!!!!!!!!! when I hear that in public, I have to RUN as far away from it as I can......._{sometimes I GLARE at the offender first} Like nails on a chalkboard to me.....

but not quite as bad as listening to people's VERY VERY LOUD and DETAILED cell phone conversations in stores and such

and boy do I EVER glare at those people. I came VERY close to saying something to a woman yesterday in Marshall's who took about four phone calls when I was there - - soooooooooooo loud - BAH!!!!!!!!!!! there oughtta be a law

EMMEL!!!!!!!!!

You can also just wear some really, really ratty old stained robe and sloppy slippers......rollers in yer hair.....maybe blacken your eye with a bruise or summat

what fun!

[jerseyangel]

Also large garish dangly plastic earrings.

[mushroom]

Another reason to get out of a taxi (or a hitchhiking ride with a driver that doesn't speak English):

When you realize he is taking you in exactly the opposite direction from where you asked to go! (And no, it isn't a short cut ) I have done this at a traffic light, (at a busy intersection!!) -- once for each!

Jess, I am so sorry that you find yourself in such a negative situation; when you find yourself crying at work (or thinking about going to work) it is definitely time to get out. Greener pastures await--I hope you find that open window soon and just fly right on in and make yerselph at home.

"sometimes ya gotta go by way of Chicago".

Er, izzit all right if I go by way of Sydney (or Phuket)? And NOO!!, it isn't pronounced that way, its Pooh-Ket

Um - is it going to be as confusing as "Lost"

Not familiar with this "Lost"; is it as confoosing as "The Prisoner" used to be? We bought the video set of the series so we could watch it all again and try and figure out -- What does it all MEAN???

Only works when you're home, alone, quiet, with free time to sit and make up movies in your head.

I like the movies in the head idea, would like to do that, except mine come out as novels--so damnably verbal is Il it's always narrative and not exciting pics of things like those stripped firemen in the bush--can't get them outta my mind Good luck with the coffee, BunBun.

Well, they have doubled my dose of antibiotics for the weekend and are threatening me with IV next week if the celllulitis doesn't get any better, so send any spare good wishes (after you're done with Jess, of course) this way. You try to fix a leak and you break the damned pipe

And then I finally got an x-ray of my back this week because the problem is not going away, and I find out I have a wedge compression fracture at T11 -- well, dang, no wonder I's been having trouble wivvit for a year, ever since I had a run-in with my frickin' front door (don't ask, looong story, but the door space is currently boarded up and the doors are being re-engineered to open outwards. Boarded up front door--confooses heck out of the guests when you invite them over, except when I remember to leave a note with little arrows directing to other doors.. And then the report talks about the osteoporosis in spite of all the D3 and calcium so guess I need another DEXA scan. Looks like another fun summer coming up; hope those doctors keep their offices well conditioned in Reno. You all think we come over for this lazy holiday in the sun by the lake when actually we spend our time in surgery, physical therapy, whatever....HA!!

Have a good weekend all. Me, I am going to a gluten free food expo today; hope they have lots of samples!!

[psawyer]

Also large garish dangly plastic earrings.

I wonder if Emily's penis earrings would be suitable?

Newbies, I am not making this up. https://www.celiac.com/uploads/emoticons/default_ph34r.png alt=':ph34r:'> Edited to add link.

[jerseyangel]

Gawd Shroomie--I hope this round of antibiotics does the trick. And yer poor back--getting hit wif a door Sending positive, healing wishes to you. Keep us posted.

[jerseyangel]

I wonder if Emily's penis earrings would be suitable?

O.M.G.!!!!! Yes!! This is the perfect occasion for which to wear yer penile earrings!!

[Jestgar]

Bathrobe. corn syrup hair. burnt pie. ciggy hanging outta yer mouth, constantly.

[elye]

I'll ponder yer outfit later. Maybe I"ll just drive around town and take some photos.

Please do this!!

So, sounds rather like cheap, sleazy, 80's-type hair, makeup and dress.. . . ....

I love the black eye suggestion, Soooooze. . ......

Shroomie! You've had it rough. . . ...... Poor friend - - sending positive vibes yer way (boy, and it's a loooooooonnnng way!)

(don't ask, looong story, but the door space is currently boarded up and the doors are being re-engineered to open outwards. Boarded up front door--confooses heck out of the guests when you invite them over, except when I remember to leave a note with little arrows directing to other doors..

Hey! A touch of trailer-park ambience, I should say!

Gah! Just saw yer post, POeter!!! Cannot believe you remember my penis earrings. . . ......Did I actually put a pic of them up in my av? Would I be allowed to? Because if I didn't, I'd sure love to... . . ....something everyone needs to see.

Dunno.....would a trailer park tramp wear penii in her ears?

[jerseyangel]

and keys--carry a big keychain loaded wif keys.

[Green12]

Ooh Emily, a White Trash Party. These seem to be all the rage. Several friends of mine have thrown one over the last year.

Think teased hair, fake fingernails, maybe Peggy Bundy from Married With Children, OR wear a muu muu (sp?) and house slippers with curlers in your hair. The guys all got mullet wigs and put on fake tattoos (i.e. MOM)

Jess, thumbs up on the mint chocloate chip ice cream! That's one of me favorite flavors

Bunnie, good luck with the coffee.

Suze, ouch on the thorn. It had been in there this whole time? Kind of like the princess and the pea. It was uncomfortable and not quite right, you knew something might be there, but yet it was so small. Suze and the thorn.

Nik, I join you with the boredom. At least you are svenning.

Hmmm, big decisions. I say go with the vegetable soup. Go crazy. Live a little!! and nothing says live a little like vegatable soup

[nikki-uk]

GUYS!!!!

Y'all crackin' me up wiv yer trailer trash descriptions!!! (Patti 'cracks gum! )

I suppose our equivalent is 'a chav'
