The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[Darn210]

Hi Judy!!! Good to see you!!! Welcome back to the reality of winter!!! CurlyLisa is the kween. Probably not worth going back to read the massive amounts of shopping lists and music lyrics. If you see something you don't remember just ask and we'll give you a much quicker rundown than trying to go back into the vortex to find it.

Good luk wif yer meetin, M.

[Judyin Philly]

Thanks for the welcome back Janet

You can bet i'm not gonna go back into the vortex to read.............

maybe people will jump in with some news I need to know........

oh, forgot to mention Susie has a new kitty.

hows that working susie?

even the snowed in day can't tempt me to 'read so many pages'

Welcome back to the Sillie, Judith Too bad there's not a search function fer CurlyLisa's recaps. That would get you up to date in a jiffy

I know ya'll are on the edge of yer seats wondering about me bread This is what I did--mixed up the batter as usual, and in a separate bowl mixed sugar, cinnamon and a wee bit of Smart Balance till it was like little crumbs. Then (here's the genius) I spread a third of the batter into the pan, topped it wif half the topping and repeated ending wif the bread batter.

It's in the oven proofing now

Tomorrow, in preperation fer me haircut I have to wash and let it dry naturally wif no product at all (v scary). What I completely phorgot was that I have a doctor's appt first thing in the morning. So I have to go there looking like that

[blueeyedmanda]

Hi, Jooooodeee!! back to the Land of Unforgiving Wintah. . . . ....hope you are not getting the storm that we have happening.

Leeeeeesar! Recap fer Joodith, s'il te plait. . .. . . .

What I completely phorgot was that I have a doctor's appt first thing in the morning. So I have to go there looking like that

OMG, Patteee.. . . . get ready for alarms going off, security swooping down and around you, crowds frantically parting. . . . . . ...

Perhaps your doc's receptionist will simply stare long and carefully at you, eyes widened, and say, "Oh, Patti. . . . .....I'm glad you're here to see him"......

Lawyer appointment was productive, but now I have had to relive the whole ordeal and shall spend the rest of the afternoon with a sick, weak feeling permeating my whole body. For the first time probably ever, I found myself home at 2 pm, considering having a glass of wine. Or two.

But nope. Too much shovelling, cleaning, dog-walkin' to do! (A good thing, fer sure). . . . .

Oh Em I'm so sorry you have to revisit that terrible time. Maybe have a glass of wine and put yer pheet up for a phew minutes--be nice to yerselph

The phone just rang--it was the doctor's office with what I thought was a reminder for tomorrow. Nope--doctor's sick and I had to reschedule for next Thursday! Who'd a thunk ? (not that she's sick, of course.....)

Me house smells like Cinnabon right now <drool>--bread's almost done and it looks phab. Wish ya'll could come over fer tea

[blueeyedmanda]

[elye]

Nope--doctor's sick and I had to reschedule for next Thursday! Who'd a thunk ? (not that she's sick, of course.....)

'Tis phab, Patteigh.....next week you'll be showing up at your appointment as a Diva!

Incidentally, it this cutting procedure pronounced "Dee-va" Or Deh-va?"

Wish ya'll could come over fer tea

Fer wine, Patti, fer wine! I'm heading over with a bottle of chablis. . . . . . . . .

[curlyfries]

Leeeeeesar! Recap fer Joodith, s'il te plait. . .. . . .

GAAAAH!!!!!!...........I thought someone else would take over that job since I became Queen, what with all me royal duties taking so much of my time, and all.

Psillies....I am absolutely pooped!!.....been tryin to shovel the driveway so hubby can get the car in when he gets home........10 freakin inches!!!!.......of snaugh, people, not me hubby! I'm only about half done.....might require an extra visit to the chiropractor This has gotta be worth about a week of Sven! Sidenote to Harpy Susan.......This does not mean a week with a guy named Sven. Sven means exercise.

WHAAAATT??????....ya don't want her to think we're a buncha loose women do ya?

[blueeyedmanda]

We have to shovel when we get home....5 inches with a thick heavy coating of ice on top....not looking forward to it....but John is doing it while I go in and make chicken scampi!

[jerseyangel]

Fer wine, Patti, fer wine! I'm heading over with a bottle of chablis. . . . . . . . .

Sounds mighty good to moi

I'm pretty sure it's Dee-va--that's how the stylist said it yesterday.

10 freakin inches!!!!.......of snaugh, people, not me hubby!

Don't let him hear you say that!

[Darn210]

10 freakin inches!!!!.......of snaugh

Well, I suited up and headed out wif me two useless chidlens armed wif shovels . . . the whining commenced immediately and no it twas not from me. After about 5 minutes I gave up and we walked to my friend's house (about 5 houses down) which in itself was no small feat. . . and borrowed their snow blower. OMG!!!! I would gladly turn over my first born (if he was remotely worth anything) in appreciation. Instead I shall send down a bottle of me favourite wine.

I'm hating my husband's job at the moment . . . he just called to say he's been scheduled to attend a meeting from 6 to 7:30pm . . . who in hell schedules a meeting then??? . . . and just so you know, this is NOT a manufacturing facility . . . or a hospital . . . there is NO second shift.

This Uncle Ray-er was too good NOT to post on the thread.

Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate. So I ease my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully get out of the car and open the trunk. I took out 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic.

They look so lifelike you wouldn't believe! They are in trench coats exposing their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers.

But to my surprise, cars start slowing down looking at my lifelike men.

And of course, traffic starts backing up. Everybody is tooting their horns

and waving like crazy.

It wasn't long before a state trooper pulls up behind me. He gets out of his car and starts walking towards me. I could tell he was not a happy camper! ''What's going on here?"

"My car has a flat tire," I said calmly.

"'Well, what the heck are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the

road?"

I couldn't believe that he didn't know. So I told him, "Helloooooo, those

are my emergency flashers!"

[Mtndog]

Good luck with your meeting today, Em. They do owe her--what a thing to have to go through, especially for a child. I'll be sending good, positive thoughts to you and Will.

Let us know 'bout dad.....

Em- Sorry that was such a rough meeting. I can't imagine going through something like that with my child. ((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))) and 2 glasses of wine coming right up!

[nikki-uk]

[elye]

I hear ya on that one, Leeeeesar.....was out there for a while myself, and worked up an actual sweat (and it's -10)....took off me coat, even. Quite something.....and bloody heavy, this psnaough. Great for making snow creatures ....but I think I've had enough of my front yard today, thanks. . . . .

Let's face it, Queen Leeeeesa.......it could well be too late. . . . . . .

[blueeyedmanda]

Alright- so if the ice that fell all morning was not enough than it turned to rain and slushed things up.....tonight the temp is going to dip to 24....and then everything will be iced over again! I can't wait till spring till we get a driveway put in...the parking on street scares me during the winter....

[jerseyangel]

This Uncle Ray-er was too good NOT to post on the thread.

Loved it--read it aloud to Mark as I was reading it.

FRIZZBOMB!!!!!!!!!!

PATTI'S CINAMMON BREAD!!!!!! <danger, danger!! waistline!!!!!!!!!>

Frizzbomb is right! I did a dry run wif it today since I didn't have to go out. I swear, I have no idea how they are going to accomplish this. I wish I could have Mark film it so you guys could watch

The cinnamon bread was out of this world! We each had a slice whilst still warm, and as soon as it's cool I'm slicing and freezing the rest. Don't trust meselph to have it sit out Tastes like that cinnamon bread that Joisey diners put out on the table--evil, yummy stuff.

I know, Amanda! What a day--snaugh, sleet, rain and now it's all going to freeze up again. Our pond thawed a lot around the edges. Supposed to be sunny tomorrow

What a freakin lou-say winter <raspberryphace>

[Jestgar]

I was reading one of those random magazines left in the lunchroom. You know, the kind that no one would admit they actually buy...

Anyway, it was a holiday addition, and they were doing before/after decorating shots. They showed an entryway that looked fabulous in the after shot....and i thought, a little darker.....so I started reading.

They painted the woodwork, changed the pictures, recovered the bench and hung a new chandelier, before hanging swags and wreaths on the railing.

So I started wondering, how many of you totally remodel your rooms for each holiday?

Not me.....

Who in the Sam Hill remodels for a holiday????

I'll bet Soooozie's Ms. Perfectly Perfect across the way just might. . . . . . ...

I'll bet she does, too!

[flourgirl]

What? Did you say REMODEL for a HOLIDAY? Why on earth would someone do that? Unless of course they are Much More Soshul than *I* am (almost anybody is ). AND of course....it requires a lot more money than I have......but then again if I were philthy ritch, I can think of things I'd much rather do with munney
