Another day without a rejection letter.

Me phingers are crossed fer ya!

OMG sillies--two things.....Mark and I came out of a meeting this afternoon and it was actually sprinkling. (we've had zero rain all month). The sun was also out, and it was about 101--we looked up and there was the most beautiful rainbow! Just gorgeous!

Second thing was the dinner I put in the crock pot--round roast wif all the phat trimmed off, onions, carrots, sweet and white potatoes and a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays cooked fer 10 hours. So-o-o-o-o good!

[psawyer]

Well, today was day one of the civil service strike in Toronto, and already the garbage is piling up.

And then, there is the household waste that is not being collected.

It would be enough to drive you to drink. But, you better stock up fast--the government monopoly liquor store is going on strike on Wednesday.

It looks like a long, hot, dry summer in Toronto.

Emily, where art thou?

Jess, I'm hoping you get out of your current rat hole into a better one.

Gawd--WIH is going ON up there????????????????

You poor sober Canucks . . . I feel for ya . . . nothing like telling you that you can't have a drink to make you want to drink.

[mimommy]

So has anybody heard from Emily at all? Did she make it off the island

Geez, Peter, that sounds rough...no garbage pick-up? No liquor? Gotta love civil unrest

These are very trying times we live in. My advice? Buy noseplugs and lots of air freshener. Build a still in your bathtub, or cross the border and I'll buy you a drink

Sills, I am not happy. No, really. Not...at...all.

I MUST fix what's wrong in my life home--mess, clutter, overcrowding. I've spent the past 2 hours looking for storage/furniture for my daughter's bedroom. I need to have a garage sale. I need to rid myself of the crap stuff my parents are storing in my basement. I need to feel better, doggoneit.

Where'd Lynnie go?

_{did we scare her off?}

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Everyone-

Jess still keeping da fingers crossed for ya!

Summer is finally arriving....yea!!!!! going to be hot the next few days! I dont like heat that much but I want to finally feel summer! and no more rain! My poor tomato plants leaves are turning yellow from too much water...

[elye]

HEY!! WE GOTS A NEW PSILLY!!!

Welcome to the madness, Lynnie! Um, yes, ya gotta tell me. . ....... ..is there in fact a way that we could have determined your sexual orientation without actually being told, as you intimated? Do gay folk write in a certain fashion, use particular syntax and/or vocabulary? Often have countless pets, hail from certain areas of the continent? What in hell have I been missing all my life?

Somehow methinks you are right, Jyaghnutt......it was all determined from Jyess's German lesbians . . .. . ...

OMG. . . .....all I did was drink diabetically legal wine and coolers and eat many things . . . . . ....

Oh, and dance.

Just before I left for T.O., I made incredible penis earrings out of sculpey for my sister and my best friend, with whom I went. Hadda bake them in the oven - - quite something to come upon should one just happen into my kitchen and peer through the oven door. They were conversation pieces like you can only imagine. I suppose putting up a pic of them in my av would warrant another warning... . . .. ...I may even get in trouble over on Da Book.

Bah.

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)

Dear gawd, I did SO much of this whilst away... . . .biting people. Not prudent, to be sure, what with this swine flu hovering around..... . . . .

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.

Quite a pain. They are running little tour boats to accommodate the Islanders. We got back quite late as the ferry schedules are not being followed.

Seems to me that getting "stuck" on an island in the summer would not be the worst catastrophe to ever happen!! Oh! Why did we not all go wif her?!?!?

This is where we must plan our Psummit. Truly. I thought this often whilst walking along the beautiful paths, whilst down by the beach, whilst reaching for another cooler from the fridge.... ...

Missed y'all! No word on the job, Jyess? How is tel's wrist?

[jerseyangel]

Em's back!!!!!!

[Darn210]

Welcome back to reality silleville, Em. We missed you. I think an innocent new av of you wearing your earrings would be OK . . . hey, you didn't realize that you were wearing them when someone else took your pic . . .

Don'ts know if we've got a new sill or not . . . she didn't come see us yesterday . . . . . . even though you weren't here Emily, I'm sure it's your fault if she doesn't come back.

. . . also forgot to mention that Peter has been outcatted as well. What's the count wif you guys anyways . . . Peter wif three?, Jess wif three?, Nik wif three or four . . . that Tel knows about. Nik, how many do you have stuffed in the closet under the stairs wif the lil people?

[Darn210]

Headed back to the ortho today . . . Smakl is getting his first "appliance" . . . not something fun like a smoothie maker or bullet blender or ice cream maker or nuttin . . . tis an "expander". That is certainly something I don't need . . . I don't need to be expanding any further!!!

So . . . both kids are now officially in teeth straightening mode . . . $$$$ . . .

[Jestgar]

Well, we have five in all, in two distinct groups. Oliver, Tuppence and Riley live with us at home, while Becky and Caramel reside at the store.

[blueeyedmanda]

I have you all out-skunked....

We have a family of 5 babies living beneath the porch currently....John thinks they are adorable which they could be if they didnt stink when scared!

[nikki-uk]

Afternoon pholks!!!!!

See off me wee traveller off to Paris this morn ...they were all SOOOoo excited, but I think the teacher was ready for a large Scotch

They should have arrived by now and should also be shortly leaving for a river boat ride down the Seine (DAMN! Why didn't *I* volunteer to go! ...merde )

Poifect wevah for 'em anyhow

Em's back everyone!!!!!

Oh, Tel's wrist...almost back to normal now

Four at last count

2 distinct categories..... boys/girl.....young 'uns/old...... slim/fat.......carefree/crabby......... friendly/sociopath.....

OH WAIT!!!..... you meant the cats

Got 2 o' mine in da process

WOW those expanders

OH WAIT!!! You mean orthodontic expanders

SOoooo quiet here without Alsey

[Jestgar]

I have bedroom cat and livingroom cats....

Lyle, the mighty hunter, still wets his pants when One-eyed Lefty or Clawless Max come at him

[elye]

POeter! The Toronto ferry boats aren't running, garbage ain't being picked up, and as of midnight tonight. . . . . ....... . . .

Liquor providers on strike.

Gaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.. ............. . ..

Must go and stock up. As I was coming home just now i saw the parking lot at the LCBO nearby - - cars on top of one another, people out screaming, throwing themselves bodily into parking spaces..... . . .

It would seem that the Nation's Capital is full of individuals who need to drink... ... .

Alzy's off to Gay Pareeeee!! SOOOooo exciting. Mygawd, what would the French do in the event of a liquor strike?? 'Twould be mass anarchy, methinks.

And on the teeth straightening and cat menageries: have both things occurring in me household, as well. Tess, Bryce and the neighboUr's enormous black tom who, amazingly, squeezes himself through our cat door, eats the cat food, takes a few swats at Bryce, then leaves, spitting and growling most angrily.

Think I shall hook one of my penis earrings to his collar the next time he visits. This may discourage the neighboUrs from allowing him to fraternise with anyone in this house (and they may think twice, as well). . . . ......

Both kids, not cats, have active ortho happening. Sophie just wears her retainer at night now, after braces on the uppers and lowers for four long years. Jack is getting diagnostic molds and Xrays done next week.

So, we are paying our orthodontist's rent until 2011. . . . . .......

[psawyer]

With about four hours to go, it looks like the booze strike is on. Beer and Ontario wine are available at other outlets, but spirits are not. Emily can cross the Ottawa River into Quebec and shop at the SAQ for liquor, or at numerous corner stores for beer and wine.

The only gluten-free beer available in Ontario is sold only at the LCBO. I have a small supply on hand.

Bah, I do not.

You must be speaking, POeter, about La Messagere. I have read all I can find about Saporro (sp.?), the Japanese rice beer that many, including some who sound like they should know what they are talking about, claim is gluten-free. Seems the jury remains out -- I know Celiac.com refutes this claim. Do you know anything on this, Oracle?

Yes, it is handy and something of a relief being only minutes from the interprovincial bridge at times like this - - the Quebeqouis would never let such a social calamity as unavailable liquor take place in their belle province.

[DingoGirl]

He was calling to "inform me of the great efforts the tea partyers have been making to help protect and inform the citizens of this country" and to ask me "to please take note of this"

I said "OMGAWD" and started giggling so bad I had to hang up on the loser guy.
