The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

If someone has a problem with my looks, it's their problem and not mine! Therefore, I have no difficulty with going to the store *fresh* from the garden complete with dirt under my nails and dirt stains on my jeans. If my hair is not perfect...no sweat...I love to wear caps! I save lots of money by not wearing makeup and perfumes. I don't have to impress anyone, I just have to be happy with who I am. I don't have to take (too much) crap from anyone, I have enough crap of my own.

Anyone who is a real and genuinely decent person will see beyond the exterior to the real, wonderful person you are inside. Those are the people who are my friends and who I want to surround me in my (all too short) life. These people can deal with, and even love, my odd quirks, sometimes strange moods, and the whole range of things that make me individual.

What a wonderphul outlook!! Thanks for the uplifting read during me breakphast.

[DingoGirl]

Several. Did not think to show up wearing a crown, however.

well there's yer problem

Again, I don't get out much

*snort*

Tis my face on Queen Elizabeth's bod (and note--she, too, has large bosoms). The waddle and smirk? All mine.

Hubby made it for me

makes me OUT OF MY MIND!!!!!!!! and - please note the slight mullet factor - - actual Queen's shorter hair, with Mimmsy's hair hanging beneath - I LURVES IT!!!!!!!!!

Mimms - hope yer day today is better than yesterday, and all inconveniences are but a memory.......

And the rococo thum heads!!!

Can we all lift our skirts like the Madonna dancers on MTV??

We gotta show off our sparkles

Roccocco Thumb Heads!!!!!!!!! <newest band name>

Psuess....in order to age gracefully (at least without screaming and tearing out the hair) is to look for the advantages. There are many! While I have never been "beautiful", I realize at this time in my life that I never will be, and don't have to be concerned about it anymore. I don't have to care. If someone has a problem with my looks, it's their problem and not mine!

Tea - this is SUCH a great outlook.......I'm just not there yet. wish I were....it's kind of complicated and has much to do with.....the emphasis in my home, growing up too deep to share here, however.

I need more therapy.

Happy Wednesday sills!!!!!!!!!!

Psuess....I have to admit it takes practice! EVERY family is disfunctional (unless you are already beyond this world). I used to be a real mouse, trying to please everyone and turn myself inside out in the effort. (Have you ever seen an inside-out mouse? Not a pretty site!) I got tired of being a doormat for every phool who had radar for people like me. Loving yourself, forgiving yourself is an ongoing effort......practice, practice, practice!

PS.....try new experiences. Sometimes you get a whole new way of seeing things. Like the philosophers say.....who says that something shaped like a table is necessarily a table? If you'd never seen one before...who knows what use you could find for it! Take fresh looks at everything. Use your artistic talents for find new ways at looking at things, including yourself. You are a beautiful person, my lady. PFFFFFFTTTT!!! to anyone who can't see that!

'Nuff for todays lecture. Perfesser TED is going back to housework now.

[flourgirl]

PPS....Psuess.....you are no longer a child growing up in that dysphunctional setting. You have come waaaayyy beyond that! Let it go, move on, love the life you've been given and make it your own!

BIIIGGG HUUUGGG!

Hmmmmmm......trans V/invasion.....never want to try that particular joy-ride! The yearly humiliation is bad enough!!!

TransV Invasion... . ..... This sounds like a new roller coaster ride at the Ex.....or the code name for the latest offensive in Afghanistan.. . . ...... . ..or the media tag for a potential pandemic . .. . . ...or the racehorse who came in third at the Derby. . ...

...Or an all-girl band!

Take fresh looks at everything. Use your artistic talents for find new ways at looking at things, including yourself. You are a beautiful person, my lady. PFFFFFFTTTT!!! to anyone who can't see that!

Tareeeeesuh!....Um. . . ..... . . ... . . are you a therapist?

You certainly SHOULD be! What wise, thought-provoking words... . .... . .We absolutely need to look at things from an entirely different angle, regularly .. . ....

You know, I think we do this a lot in Psillyville, and this is why it is such a refreshing, phunny place to come.

_{Please don't send me to the tower BUT I forgot to congratulate our new queen}

Fair Nikerler! Off to the Tower wif you! The long march that so many condemned subjects before you have walked, or been dragged. . .. ... . ..

Tree

thank you so much......um, I really wish I had been a pleaser, pleasers are more likeable

I became the ACTING-OUT CHILD

dear gawd.........made life hell for myself.....this I blame on being a freaking GLUTEN BRAIN all of me life at any moment, you could bounce a fork off my fore'ead, and I was highly reactionary....very, very mean to my family growing up.....wish to hell I could have a lifetime do-over, as I seriously could not stop the yelling......

but the LOOKS thing - obsession with appearance.....I relied on my looks all of my life....and they're totally fading, I'm middle-aged, 'tis a fact, and I'm having a really, really hard time dealign wtih it, largely becasue I'm still single.

BUT ENOUGH OF THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'tis a lovely day, I'm at work, staring at my wackl boss, who's on the phone for about AN HOUR now....whilst I goof off.........

Hey Bunnyrabbitt! I was on steroids just once. Doc thought it would help tendonitis (I was having problems with lots of inflammation in lots of places ) I had a severe allergic reaction and thought I was literally going to die! Probably wasn't smart, but I stopped cold and tossed them all. They are so nasty, I would tell anyone to be cautious, and only to consider them a last alternative. I guess many people take them safely...hope they are helping you. Take care!

They actually put me on steroids because I had sumac (not ivy) and it was all over my face and neck and my throat started to close so I couldn't breathe, so steroids STAT. Probably not the kinda doses you'd use for tendonitis though, doesn't take much to kick a poison sumac rash. The benadryl wasn't working too.

Perhaps just a series of stage-ready soliloquoys or .. . .let's call 'em monologues.

<always wondered how well one could enunciate>

[DingoGirl]

A Ptaum poop-in!!!!!!!!!

Nik - you'll be pleased to know I did some - um, bevelling? (not you, Bevel ) of the Geronimo cut......it's not quite as ......pyramidical.....somehow laying better.

but there's always tomorrow, when I plan to dye it myself, hence creating another chance for ruination.

[JNBunnie1]

:lol:

Bunnie, tell us about the beef!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, sorry! I was caught up making tonight's dinner, which was crispy coconut chicken with maple mashed sweet potatos. I'm sure you're not interested in that....

So the beef stuff! Two pounds o beef, huge pile of diced onion, 3 ripe avocados (woulda been 4 but #4 bit the dust) and a big scoop of sour cream. Brown beef and onion, I put the onion in first for a while with butter so it would be nice and sweet and squishy. Browned up the beef w/ the onion, added garlic powder, salt, pepper, cumin. Smushed the avocados and mixed in sour cream, garlic powder & lemon juice. Which makes a fabulous veggie dip by its lonesome, then stirred into the beef stuff (did NOT drain beef, left the juice) and made mushy beef stuff A La Bunnie! It was FREAKIN DELICIOUS. Perfect with salty corn chips, and also very good cold the next day. Only thing I don't like about cold beef dips is the beef gets kinda tough and hurts my teeth, so I heated it up a bit for lunch. Just as good the next day, the avocado didn't turn at all. Would be perfect with cheesy refried beans & rice, but ran out of time.

I'm off to bed! I get up at 4:30..... yawn......

When we saw Robin Williams he did a bit about genitalia and how they were 'built' by committee.

"Let's add curtains! And a doorbell! When you ring the doorbell, the curtains will open! And we made it horizontal, but it started to talk, so we went vertical...."

[elye]

Perhaps just a series of stage-ready soliloquoys or .. . .let's call 'em monologues.

Gad, I would hope simply a monologue.......'twould be quite alarming to pick up a faint four- or five-way conversation. . . ......

<always wondered how well one could enunciate>

Wow. Um. . . . . .is this. . ....... . . something that is commonly wondered by men? Or.....anybody, for that matter?

Might look great in a mirror. . . . . . ......

[elye]

"Let's add curtains! And a doorbell! When you ring the doorbell, the curtains will open! And we made it horizontal, but it started to talk, so we went vertical...."
