The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[Darn210]

Laundry is coming along. I've got a mountain of garbage bags filled with all the stuffed animals, throws, loose pillows, etc . . . sitting until I can run them through the dryer or a couple weeks time have elapsed . . . whichever comes first.

I'm worried that Skeeter will have a hard time at school. Her brother (who was also checked by the nurse and found to be OK) is telling everyone to stay away from her because she has lice. He's got a lecture and a vacation from the video games coming.

Gotta go . . . late for work.

I'm worried that Skeeter will have a hard time at school.

Hope not, Jan-it. She does not need that too!

Hope you both have a good day

[curlyfries]

How do you all pluck yer chin hairs?

Wif me phace plastered against the mirror I do this every day, yet recently I found a hair that was almost 2 inches long!!!!

Good to see you back, Soozle!

Psillies . . . a terribly unpsillie thing (at least today it is unpsillie) . . . an early Christmas present for Skeeter . . . the school nurse called and . . . someone has given her head lice. I have spent the last three hours combing through her hair (she's got very thick hair) after I cut about half of it of myself as the hair cut place would nae take her. I understand this but the poor child has lice AND a hair cut from her mother and I haven't even take the kids' Christmas picture yet!!!

As if I don't already have enough laundry to do . . . I'm now off to launder every single thing in this house that will fit in the washing machine.

Gaaaaahhhh!!!!! When my dd got lice, her hair was almost to her waist, but not curly like Skeeter's. Did not cut it. Skeeter has beautiful hair!

.........I know.........those of you with naturally curly hair wish it weren't, and Skeeter will probably hate hers some day.

Snow and crrrazzzy drivers yesterday! Slide-offs and accidents everywhere!

First day back to the chiropractor since Brian lost his job. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

Wish the hair on me head grew like the ones on me chin

[nikki-uk]

Googling tells me it tends to be more of a girl thang . . . what wif the long hair . . . just two girls leaning in to look at the same book wif hair touching will do it, let alone sharing a comb or brush or trying on each others headbands or barettes. Smakl rarely tries on any of his phriends headbands.

GAH!!!!!...... my phull sympathies Gian-kneet

Had a spell of around 6 months when the boys were little I just COULDN'T get rid of 'em.

T'was Al bringing 'em 'cos he hugged and got close to everyone , then would pass it to Dan, me (I cried, - can you imagine trying to get a nit comb through my hair!!!)....never Martin or Tel though (wire wool heads!)

I was NOT a happy camper!,...we'd get rid of them, then GET them AGAIN!...ARGHHH!!!

I think I finally put it down to the fact there was one child in Al's class who was NOT being treated (In the UK, 'cos of our STUPID laws to do wiv Human rights and such nurses OR teachers are NOT allowed to check kids head's! )

We used Tea Tree Oil shampoo and combed through EVERY night for MONTHS

_{<b@ST@RD bloody things!!!>}

Am coming down wif a cold, compliments of son #1 and girlfriend Me throat pheels like it's on phire Glad I did all the painting I wanted to do last week!

PadT's got a New Jersey cold!!!

Sending you honey and Lemon tea (wiv Tiger Pig ) !!

Wish the hair on me head grew like the ones on me chin

Gawd yes!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!

So tired!! - a four HOUR stint of Christmas shopping was attempted today....... t'was nae pleasant

Four hours of shopping at this time of year! Strong woman, our Nik I love Christmas music when they first start playing it, but they start so early on now that I start to tire of it too soon.....

I'm sooooo sorry you're going though this. I got it when I was a kid, obscenely thick hair down to me waist--not for long, got it all chopped Then I was a preschool teacher through college and I got it from a little girl in my classroom whose parents never treated their kids' hair and they kept getting it over and over until finally they shaved all 3 of their dd's heads Fixed the problem though!

Wish the hair on me head grew like the ones on me chin

Watch out for the chin lice

Busy weekend, got Christmas shopping almost done, gifts wrapped and under the tree, house decorated. Had to have the s-e-x talk with me 8 year old due to a bastard child at school telling her he wanted to rape her He has since been suspended, CPS was called, police involved, lots of counceling to come. I'm not angry with the child, but furious with his parents for exposing him to whatever is causing him to talk and behave this way (this wasn't the 1st time, but it was the most offensive and potentially dangerous). I was fairly basic in our talk and she took it pretty well. She thought it was all pretty gross She's too young for all of this, and I'm not ready!!!

She got her braces off yesterday though, so that elation helped take her mind off of it!

[DingoGirl]

"bosom"

we are soooooooo easily amused.

Pads - not a COLD on yer vacation! drink yer tea and REST, Lady.

JAN-IT!!!!!!!!! not the LICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is terrible.....just terrible.....all yer stories of lice infestations make me ITCH......can't imagine Nikkers combing through that hair....and for MONTHS!!!!!! Oh, may you get rid of it the VERY first time......

My brother's two oldest daughters had them when they were little......seems to me it took a month or so to go away

Wif me phace plastered against the mirror I do this every day, yet recently I found a hair that was almost 2 inches long!!!!

what in hell

You mean you don't need magnifiers yet? I have to have my glasses on for pretty much EVERYTHING now

Wish the hair on me head grew like the ones on me chin

strong, sturdy, thick and robust, they are

So tired!! - a four HOUR stint of Christmas shopping was attempted today....... t'was nae pleasant

....and GADS!... the music played on a continuous loop in one department shop is SURELY what they play in HELL!!!!!!!!!!

egads! all of this already? and Ruhshelle has got her GIFTS around the TREE??

Well, I don't even GET to have a tree this year, due to one devilish, wicked little kitteh, who would knock it down every single night, and break all ornaments

♥

BTW - started my Christmas music one week ago - my own mixes, am very, very picky about this......have three different playlists

Wish I could send you all one.......I was calculating disc/packaging/shipping costs and figured, to send one Christmas C D to all sills would be about $150 - can NAE do it!

the HORROR!!!!!!! soooooooo sad about this..........um, I think eight-year-olds use words like RAPE due to all the movies and crime-solving TV shows their parents let them watch

[psawyer]

Well, the Monday morning expected snow did not happen, but it looks like we are going to get dumped on overnight, with about three inches expected to be on the ground in time for the morning drive.

Rachelle, that sucks about Maddie.

RAE-chull, I am confuzzled that your daughter's only 8 yrs and had her braces off already?????....... we don't start ortho work here 'til around age 13

Gaaaaah, I canna imagine Gnikkers even attempting a nit-comb!

EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!

Two inches long?? You coulda covered wif a turtleneck, maybe!

Sending you honey and Lemon tea (wiv Tiger Pig ) !!

Me, too, Paghteeigh! A horrid time o' year to be battling this.

....and GADS!... the music played on a continuous loop in one department shop is SURELY what they play in HELL!!!!!!!!!!

Dear gawd.... . . .this, truly, drives me around the bend. So angry did I become yesterday as I started through Walmart, after hearing the same canned, horrificly hokey Christmas music for a couple of hours from shop to shop, that I suddenly, in a fit of mad abandon, began to SING along to the awful rendition of "O Holy Night", loudly.

Suddenly, from two racks over, I hear another equally energetic voice chime in. Then another, from a whole row over.

I wish I could say that within ten seconds, a classic youtube moment broke out, the entire store of frustrated, stressed-out customers belting out the chorus in protest.

Not quite. Maybe eight of us, though.

Wish I could send you all one.......I was calculating disc/packaging/shipping costs and figured, to send one Christmas C D to all sills would be about $150 - can NAE do it!

Soooozle! Why not put up the list of pieces/songs/numbers with artists/orchestras etc. on here, and we can download them ourselves? I would love this, and I will call the collection Sooooozle's Seasonal Songbook.

Well, the Monday morning expected snow did not happen, but it looks like we are going to get dumped on overnight, with about three inches expected to be on the ground in time for the morning drive.

Yup.....then it's comin' here.. .. . .. .....

[Mtndog]

Nikkeigh- I LOVE yer new party avatar!!!!!!! And 4 hours of Christmas shopping? HOLY SHITE!

Paddeigh- Get snuggly and have yerself a hot toddy (at the son's house who HAS alcohol!)

Pieter's balls- always a welcome topic :lol:

Missed Suezz and Pptaum and forgot to get drunk and come on...wth was I doing? Oh yeah... snoring! Raychelle must have had a hangover for me!

Souffle tops, muffin tops, chin hairs- I got 'em all!!!!!!!!!! :ph34r:

But I DON'T have lice......Giankinit- so sorry for you and Skeeter- what a drag! May they die fast.

I never had them. Thank GAWD (thick hair here too) and like Em and patti I never get bit by anything (except ticks- GRRR!)

raychelle- I'm so sorry about your 8 year old daughter being told that! that is horrifying. Hopefully she'll forget it soon but WTH could that kid be hearing at home? I didn't even know what making love was until I was 10 and that was the NICE part!

We got snough on Saturday night- woke up to a Winter Wonderland on Sunday- twas beautiful and it's sticking around- at least until tomorrow when we get snow- sleet-rain in that order.

I'm half way done with my shopping! Took a muscle relaxer and bought presents for 4 nieces and 1 nephew in 1 hour last Friday. I guess I'm decisive when on drugs :lol:

Thanks,

And, I want snow this weekend. Lots and lots of snow so that I cannot leave my house at all and I am forced to stay inside and bake millions of cookies with my kids!

RAE-chull, I am confuzzled that your daughter's only 8 yrs and had her braces off already?????....... we don't start ortho work here 'til around age 13

Normally thy don't start that early here either. It's the end of phase 1. She had an expander to fix a crossbite (which they like to fix before age 8 while the pallet is still soft), well, the darned thing ripped her 2 front teeth so far apart, you could fit a pencil between them and it was preventing the other 2 sets of teeth from coming in, so they slapped some brackets on her and moved the teeth together. Phase 2 will happen when she's a teen, and hopefully won't be as bad as it would have been!

Wrapping gifts tomorrow!!...what joy!!

Git yerselph one of them Scotch pop-up tape dispensers, it'll make the job so quick!!

Two inches long?? You coulda covered wif a turtleneck, maybe!

I think she should get a fancy Christmas bead and thread it onto the bottom of the hair. Imagine how it would look swinging and sparkling in the Christmas lights

YES! Or a li'l jingly bell..... ... ....weave some holly leaves through it.... . ..

Hang a mistletoe from it!

Yes, the jingly bell!!!

The mistletoe would be interesting--what hangs below the mistletoe that needs to be kissed? Your bosom may get a lot of luvin!

[elye]

GAaAaaAaAHhhhHhh-oood morning, Peeps!

We're in the middle of that snowstorm that dumped its way across and up the States.... .....snow is falling faster than we can shovel it right now.

Snowmen! Angels! Forts and toboggan slides! YAY!

[jerseyangel]

Yes, the jingly bell!!!

Reminds me that years ago, Rosie O'Donnell on her morning show braided her chin hair and hung a tiny bell at the end of it. Pretty phunny....

No snaugh here--just pouring rain. Good thing it's almost 50 degrees, or we'd be snaughed in!

Matt and I still plan to do some Christmas shopping after work.

Mark's aunt passed away--the one I've spoken about here....she was 92, an artist, and a really great person. She was more of an aunt to me ever since I've known her (35 years) than my own aunts. I'm going to miss her. Sad thing is that we won't be able to make the funeral--logistically it just can't work out

[elye]

TILLYKKE MED FODSELSDAGEN, SOOOOZLE!

(Danish). . . . .....have a sooopah day!

[jerseyangel]

HAPPY BIRFDAY, SOOZLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, we're doing this right now also. Skeeter's expander (holy crap what a difference it made in her mouth) is due to come out at her next appt . . . I have no idea when that is, though. Smakl's also got an expander and brackets and will also have to have permanent teeth pulled . . . the poor bloke got the worst of both me and me hubby's dental genes.

Pat-tea, sorry to hear about you and Mark's aunt . . . she sounded like a wonderful lady.

We've got crap weathah here . . . hurrican winds and rain and falling temps. It's garbage day, so there's garbage blowing all over the neighborhood.

Anybody else get Patti's Christmas card?? . . . you know the one where she's rubbing our noses in the fact that even though she's thousands of miles away from home, she's still farther ahead with her Christmas schedule than we are?? . . . thanks Patti

Happy Birthday Susie!!!

ME!!!.........yeah, I can no longer be in denial that Christmas is coming and I need to do something

Jan-knit......does it sound like this weather might hit hard enough/early enough to close school early?

I lost Patteigh's quote about Rosie O'Donnell..........I was gonna mention it, but she beat me to it......only.....wasn't it a bead?

It's Soozle's birfday????!!!!!!!

<snort>

Honestly, I think I'm trying to hold on to at least one "tradition".....something "familiar"....seems every year for the past few, there's been some upheavel or another, and with all the moving around we've done in general it's comforting that some things don't have to change.

I would have had to send to more distant family members who are older and don't have a computer anyway, just so everyone knows where I am now

It actually didn't take that long....no fancy notes or anything--did 'em while I was cooking dinner a couple afternoons

[nikki-uk]

Em's enthusiasm for snauogh!

Ah, sorry Pads

Oh!, HAPPY BIRPHDAY to our PSEUZE!!!

MUST get on, I seem to be incabable of finishing anything

Only had one small can of Red Bull! ....it's turned me into ADHD Mummy!

...currently sitting at the computer with one boot on, scraps of 'to do' lists, one arm out of me jacket AND am trying to cook pasta

What the WHAAAT?!?!?! .....must.concentrate
