The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[curlyfries]

Well sills, gotta go get my haircut - new, very cute and small salon so close to my house.......thought I'd give it a try.

Got tired of me overgrown locks a while back and took a pair o' scissors to it. Been in a state of limbo tryin to decide what I want done. Curly locks are gone.....need a new perm. How curly?.....How short?........can nae decide. Gotta do sumphim to perk up this old drawn phace.

And, I have very sad news...

I am so sorry to have to announce that...

as of 5 minutes ago I officially have...

GREY HAIR

Pffft!!!!!!......I think I'm workin on a gray streak down the left side of me face

A couple more pages of catchin up........gotta finish fixin dinner.

Later

Tel update:

Still steadfastly refusing to go to the hosp , but swelling has down a tad.

Maybe it has more to do with his arthritis ?? ...... he has had to come off all arthritis meds for a month as docs think it maybe is causing low platelets - GAAAWD - he can't even take ibuprofen for the sweeling (stomach ish-yooz )

Anyhoo - I've given him a deadline of Monday

If he still can't use it by then I will kidnap him & take him to the hosp

Nik.........if he heard it snap........it's broke, plain and simple. Several years ago I stepped wrong goin down the stairs and heard my foot *snap*. Didn't hurt all that much, but I knew sumphin wasn't right. I broke it but good. Almost had to have pins put in.

Yep, I heard the pop when my toe broke . . . I can now predict the weather wif me toe!!

Seriously, Nik, make him go to the doctor anyway. That sort of thing can hurt for years after it heals, if it doesn't set properly.

I hear voices like the plant in the little house of horrors...."FEEEEEEED MEEEEEE!"

hee! I can so picture this

Oooohhhh...........sounds like some big tools, there

Love a big tool

Yep, I heard the pop when my toe broke . . . I can now predict the weather wif me toe!!

Ditto. Ran into a chair wif me baby toe and broke it good. I could feel it when it was going to rain for over a year

Tired. Puffy. Bloated. Irritated

My grey hair isn't like just one strand here or there. It seems to be infiltrating my entire left temple and just fading to a blackish-silver

Do you know what happens to blondes when they go grey? Their hair looks dirty...all the time.

I have also found some white hairs in me brows and on me chin

Mimmsy is not pleased

[Jestgar]

I got my dad's eyebrows, look something like this Open Original Shared Link .

They go grey by growing in brown, then switching to grey, so I've got a grey streak through my brown brow, and a thick brown hair sticking up on top.

Absolutely lovely.

OMG are those hampsters?!

Don't feel bad, Jess--Scott found hair in his ears and grey's on his chest

At least we're all getting older together

BTW female pattern baldness is genetic in my family, so I have that to look forward to.

[nikki-uk]

Good to see Lisa posting!!

Feeling a little delicate today (I really am NOT cut out to be an alcoholic )...but this made me guffaw!!!

I got my dad's eyebrows, look something like this Open Original Shared Link .

Whenever I cut my Dad's hair I always trim the eyebrows/ears...we joke he has more growing everywhere else now than on his head .....but damn those eyebrow hairs are wiry ain't they???

Rachel!!! Noticed a few grEy hairs meself

HARUMPHFFFFFfff!!!!!!!

...back to the couch......

[jerseyangel]

Good lawd, me too Me grandma wore a hairpiece and me mom wears a wig. Yeah--it's that bad. Me youngest sister who's only 45 is thinning out quite a bit already--middle sis has thick hair, and I'm somewhere in the middle although I have roughly half the volume I had at 20. If I can keep what I got, I'll be happy.

Feeling a little delicate today (I really am NOT cut out to be an alcoholic )

Pamper yerselph today, Nik--and pheel better

Poor Mark had been suffering from some nasty digestive stuff since last night. I suspect phood poisoning.....probably the mexican restaurant he ate at on Friday

Happy Father's Day to all the sillie-related dads!!!!

[flourgirl]

I've been seeing grey/white/silver hairs since my 20's. My dad was salt and pepper in his twenties, so at least I didn't have to deal with that. My sisters all have beautiful hair....dark with the silver sprinkeled in like sparkels or sumfin, then going to the salt n pepper look. Buttt, my hair is not beautiful and I don't really care. Can't decide what to do with it, so it's growing long by default.

Kurley Leezah....I have been cutting my own for years. When I have gone somewhere to have it done...I inevitably end up coming home and "fixing" it anyway (with scissors). My telehubby loves white hair...always pointing out women who have beautiful white locks......there's hope for me yet!

Day started out sunny....now very dark and gloomy.....the bad part is the cold wind! It's summer, for crying out loud....whats with the *%&@!! KOLD!!! Can't deal with this.....but I need to go outside to play anyway. Will I be the only person in the county, state, country wearing a heavy sweatshirt today? Probably.

Leezah! SOOO glad to see you here. Hope things get better for you...soon. BTW.....telehubby had taken a year of retirement before we moved here. Was home aaalllll the time. We both just did whatever.....didn't worry about what the other was doing. We planned our together time...otherwise our time was our own, to do as we pleased/needed/whatever. Maybe you just need a plan and take control of your own time. It's not that you don't love yer hubby.....you just need your own space (don't we all?)

Keep it shiny.....

[psawyer]

Gosh, this quiet here today.

After a miserable, wet, rainy, wet, soggy, wet, day yesterday, today is warm (but not hot) and sunny.

=^..^=

I'm working a rare Sunday at the shop. I think it has been a year since that last happened.

Unless something unexpected happens, City of Toronto civic workers employees will go on strike in less than 11 hours. Those at the liquor store have two more days before they walk out. I stocked up yesterday.

[Lynnie]

Just walked in the door... Looking around... What do I do now???

Maybe...hugs to everyone!!!

[mushroom]

Just make yerselph at home and get to know the pholks -- but don't take the good chair by the fire

[Jestgar]

Have fun. Spelling is optional. So is coherency, for that matter.

Hi Linnie--allow me to welcome you into sillieville, old and decrepit though I may be

Best thing to do is jump right in--don't try to "go back", people have been known to get lost that way Susie--who you will meet soon--would have to send the Dingos out to find you....and well.....best to avoid that

Enjoy yerselph.....oh--we tend to spell pho-net-ic-ly. No idea why. One more thing--Emily is harmless.

[Lynnie]

All these names are foreign to me but I am looking forward to getting to know you all!

Welcome, Lynnie. You'll get to know us all soon enough.

[mushroom]

Welcome, Lynnie. You'll get to know us all soon enough.

Mebbe too well

Darn it all, I just did a long poop-in and pooped it up. Poopy cow!

[mushroom]

Part Drei:

Anyway, part of what I was saying before, I think, was that...

Dis place is overflowing with wine (or whine), peaches and nectarines, strawberries and melons (wot, no cherries??) phleazy or non-phleazy kittehs, grey hair, permed hair, butchered hair, red hair and white, greysilver hair, phrizzy hair, hairless heads and hamster brows.

It is full of weather that is too hot, cold, dry, wet, gloomy, windy, thunderous or humid, but nevah just right.

On the other hand, it also contains beauteous posts from Theresa and Patti--good advice from T and yearning from PadT (although I do think I would look a bit ridiculous up a tree reading a book (my recliner suits me better ) and it is hard to find some lush lonely grass in which to lie and daydream. Still, it is the spirit of the thing she was referring to after all, because I think we all basically remain children all our lives, certainly not that hag that peers at us out of the mirror Can't wait for the weather (sigh, here we go again) to warm up so I can take my book and chair down to the beach.

Tel's wrist may or may not be broken (hope we hear soon). I once was sure I had broken my ankle it snapped so loudly when I was running like a free spirit (trying to follow PadT's advice ) down a hill., (yeah, this was a few years ago ). But I plunged it in a stream running straight off a glacier until just before frostbite, wrapped an ace bandage on it, and a week later we walked the Milford Track. Of course I sprained it again real good when we were over the summit and coming down the other side, and it's never been the same since, but then again it wasn't much good before that. Haha.

Can't remember what else I said; problly wasn't worth reading anyways. Hope this feeble attempt makes up for the too-quick poop-in the other day. Still looking for me psilly--where can it be???

[JNBunnie1]

Mebbe too well

Darn it all, I just did a long poop-in and pooped it up. Poopy cow!

I think that's a silly record. You used the word 'poop' in three different ways!!

Padt, would you stop telling people Em is harmless? You're gonna damage her reputation.....

:D

I'm off to bed (yes, at 7:30pm), le boyfriend gets up at 2am on Mondays. I get an extra hour of sleep, ZERO griping here!!!! G'mite.

[mushroom]

One more thing--Emily is harmless.

Don't you believe it. If you don't watch out she sneaks up behind and bites you Haha, I can say that because she's on vacation and can't reach me (yet)

[Jestgar]

Oh yeah! Chugging her wine before the liquor worker employee strike.

sounds like a good plan, even without the strike.

Some day I'll day you my story of spending the night with German lesbians while stuck in Bologna during an Italian train strike.

[jerseyangel]

Welcome, Lynnie. You'll get to know us all soon enough.

True dat! Tis the weekend, so it's quieter than usual. Poop in during the week

OMG--what a great rundown of the sillieville musings of late! I now read in a chair too, Shroomie--many things that worked at 10 don't seem to work now Hope yer sillie reappears

I think that's a silly record. You used the word 'poop' in three different ways!!

And that's just the sort of thing we admire here

Mite, Bunnie.

OMG, do tell!! Some of my best stories involve Germans, trains, and Italy. No lesbians though, but lotsa gays--luv them guys/gals?? Dey are the best!!

[psawyer]

Oh yeah! Chugging her wine before the liquor worker employee strike.

I'm not sure where she is at the moment, but she was heading for the Toronto Islands. You can only get there by boat, and the ferry is going on strike in 3 hours along with the rest of the city staff. There are private water taxis.
