Bye Sillies,

Sickness has taken its toll and I am going home for the rest of the day.

Feel better, Amanda

[jerseyangel]

Best I don't ever taste the North American PB (I'm sure it would be like Angels copulating on the tongue) unless I get a tapeworm

Oh my Gawd! Where but here would you get to read a sentence like that?

[DingoGirl]

*nervous laugh* ...ahem........

*sigh* BEV -----I 've told you before I'm not prepared to put up with your flatulance (GAD!! That room would be one BIG Dutch Oven )

...Short word on PB.... ...tis ok on toast..but can't go mad about it....maybe yours is different to mine

dutch oven

Yes on Cava and peanut butter.....no on marmite......

Oh Nicola - no good pb? so.....I'll send wer-ste-shire to Emily and peanut butter to Nik -

Susie, this is one horror movie-type setting. I could just hear the swelling music as you set foot outside, into this thick silence. You are so un-stepfordish...how on earth do you manage there?!

Indeed, how DO I manage........*sigh* Well, I think I manage because it's just about the cutest and coziest NEW house (I prefer old) imaginable. So...I just lay low here, pray that there are no pop-ins, and keep my pot and pan banging restricted to the midnight hour

Do you think these people are really serious!? I felt so much better when I got rid of mine ... the color came back in my face even .... I don't look so gaunt ... I think two of the pounds were in my cheeks, the other three are in my other cheeks.

OMG - is she SERIOUS? Carla - I thought you were kidding - did you really have a tapeworm?

Yes - I, too, want one - just don't want to know about it, think about it, or see it.....

Bye Sillies,

Sickness has taken its toll and I am going home for the rest of the day.

Amanda! Go snuggle in bed wtih Lucky, and feel better soon!

Oh my Gawd! Where but here would you get to read a sentence like that?

*snort*

I know - we are mad!!!!!!!!!!

OMG - someone needs to come live with me and take away the sugar products....I am slightly out-of-control..........

[Darn210]

It was foggy - and the fog throws a thick, viscous blanket of muffled stillness over everything it touches, so I was practically SMACKED with the drear quiet when I walked out front.

I waited......waited........nothing.

Pure silence.

Lights out, everywhere.

So finally........maybe at about 12:01, a full 60 seconds into the New Year, I just started banging things into the black, shrouded stillness of the Stepford night, a screeching, jarring cacophony into the sterile and controlled environs of this Ridiculous White Enclave.............

Susie, I would love to read those reports that you type for the prisoners . . . you are allowed a bit of poetic license, aren't you?

Check out www.tapewormdiet.net.

All of you wishing for a tapeworm . . . you did check out Carla's website, right? You want to make sure you get a safe tapeworm. And did you read the caption on one of the photos . . . that particular slaughterhouse was too clean . . . only a 1% infection rate. You'll need to find a nasty slaughterhouse.

[CarlaB]

Amanda, hope you feel well, soon!

Actually, I am certain that tapeworms are NOT a funny thing to have, and I did hesitate to make a joke of them...(but then went ahead... ). I cannot imagine a large worm residing in my body, and knowing that it's there, and waiting for the treatment to take affect. Gahhh....very un-Silly...!

Yeah, I think upon reflection that I'd take the extra ten...

Oh, no, I do still think it's funny! And, I didn't know I had it when I started taking the herbs, it was quite the shock when I saw it! Very, very shocking!

In fact, after I got rid of it I said, "Boy, that was stupid, if I knew I had a tapeworm, I most certainly would have waited until after the holidays to get rid of it!"

OMG - is she SERIOUS? Carla - I thought you were kidding - did you really have a tapeworm?

Oh, yes, quite serious .... I guess it explains my inability to gain weight when I have a low thyroid! Just be sure you eat your steaks cooked .... I tended to like mine on the rare side .... bad idea.

EEEK!!!!

So, I need a cow

It's NO GOOD!!!!........I CAN'T EAT LARVAE/EGGS.......*Gag*

Bye Sillies,

Sickness has taken its toll and I am going home for the rest of the day.

The man flu cometh, creeping across the Atlantic with stealth and speed....BEWARE!!!!!

My sympathies Amanda ....I feel really rough today (terrible cough) and look EVEN worse.

Lucky for me my eldest son works for a pharmaceutical company and gets non prescription drugs dirt cheap....so phoned him with my order of cough syrups, lemsip (cold powders) and paracetomol

Like Milton's revered "Darkness visible"...

You wax poetic, Nikki!!

I did ......

So, Nikki, are you a marmite eater? It is available here, but expensive and not very popular. I saw it everywhere over there. Quite salty...seems like spreadable yeast...

*standing up*....I AM a Marmite eater and PROUD!!!!!!!!!! (Tis gluten-free too)

Dear god, an aquired taste indeed - Love it or Hate it - Mums in the UK were encouraged to wean their babies onto Marmite and toast in the 70's as the marmite has high levels of B vitamins - LOVED it ever since

The Aussies have something similar called 'Vegemite'....not quite as potent

Yeah, I think upon reflection that I'd take the extra ten...

Is that sober reflection Emily???

..but yes, take the extra ten (maybe 15...well ...20) we SHALL!!!

Oh my Gawd! Where but here would you get to read a sentence like that?

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

OMG - someone needs to come live with me and take away the sugar products....I am slightly out-of-control..........

I am SO not the person for this job as unfortunately if I lived with you it would rapidly descend into a somewhat drunken, squalid, obese affair

[elye]

Oh Nicola - no good pb? so.....I'll send wer-ste-shire to Emily and peanut butter to Nik -

Yes! Susie! Some gluten-free all-American Wersh-ter-sheer sauce, please! I do miss it so...

So...I just lay low here, pray that there are no pop-ins, and keep my pot and pan banging restricted to the midnight hour

Only in Sillyville would we read about one of us out banging pots and pans in the wee hours, alone in a Stepford community, and think of it as simply quaint, perhaps a bit quirky...

Yes - I, too, want one - just don't want to know about it, think about it, or see it.....

(Shudder).....Nahhhh. Susie, I think you'd take the extra ten.

Well....perhaps if I didn't KNOW about it....

Ha--I was thinking the same thing! Can you imagine the three of us?????

The evil sugar draws me like a moth to a flame I think instead of keeping each other away from it, we'd join forces and decend into (as Nikki so succintly put it) a drunken, squalid, and certainly obese abyss.

Could be a lot of fun, though, when you think about it

It appears that Lisa has come and got her "fix". . . and left us a little video. Now doesn't that make the whole thing look more . . . um . . . glamoUrous? Is this where ALL the celebrities get their tapeworms?

I have my Carla & Janet av up . . . just to show you I've got one, too. I think Carla's pic is better . . . hmmm, I think her hubby is showing preferential treatment. I'm not going to leave it up too long. People will start asking me about my Lyme disease and tapeworm and instead of telling them I'm not Carla, I'm likely to just make stuff up.

I don't doubt it would be a BLAST!!!!! what with your new found love for wine an' all ..BUT PATTI!!!!!...I was hoping if you were there it at least wouldn't get squalid (i know you like to keep a tidy house)

BTW - Patti said 'succinctly'

[jerseyangel]

(i know you like to keep a tidy house)

Tis true, I am a neatnik.....

But enough wine, and I just might throw all caution to the wind.....

I like them both....BUT, In yours Janet, Carla's cardigan/sweater is a much more fetching shade of sage green

Imagine....if *I* were a tidy person....I REALLY would be a neatnik (It's all in the name people!!)

Hee-hee .......and to the wind!!!! no less!!!

DEAR GAWD!!!!!!!!!I can't stop posting - the man flu has moved into my BRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

[jerseyangel]

DEAR GAWD!!!!!!!!!I can't stop posting

Girl, you are cracking me up today I have tons to do today, and I keep stopping by the computer to see what's going on here. I hate to miss anything

"neatnik"--I get it

[CarlaB]

See, take a picture on a cell phone and it's better than an expensive camera! Actually, Janet's colors are truer ... we're not as pink as we look on my avatar.

"neatnik"--I get it

:lol:

[Jestgar]

As a random bit of info, there are groups investigating whether infecting someone that has IBS/IBD/Crohn's with intestinal parasites could convince the gut to convert from the autoimmune response (that's causing symptoms) to a parasitic response.

Wonder how many 'normal' volunteers they get for those studies... <insert green guy emoticon>

[~alex~]

Ick, tapeworms. I think I would have to be sedated if I knew I had worms in me. Nothing quite gets to me like the thought of parasites. In grade 2 my best friend had lice and I made my parents check my hair like every hour and washed my hair with Nix even though I had been assured that I didn't have lice. Creatures living on and or in a human just makes my skin crawl.

I could use some creative input if anyone is so inclined. This morning I was putting away the couple of ceramic Christmas houses that I have and horror of horrors I tripped and dropped the house that my mom had made about 20 years ago. After many tears and cheering up from my fiance, I am determined to make something special with the pieces of ceramic. Any ideas?

[jerseyangel]

I think both pictures look nice.

Maybe they pay big?

[CarlaB]

Alex, sorry about the house .... sorry, no ideas. Are they flat pieces? What about a mosaic?

Every time I saw a piece of the tapeworm I felt nauseous for a couple hours. It was gross. I actually think I need to do another treatment, but the product I use wants you to take a 90 day break between 30 day treatments so you don't build resistance.

Sorry that happened

I do have an idea--make a picture frame ("tile" an inexpensive, wide frame randomly with the broken pieces) and put a nice picture of your mom in it

[DingoGirl]

EDITING - too much emoticonage!!!!!! (insert harrumphous emoticon here)

Susie, I would love to read those reports that you type for the prisoners . . . you are allowed a bit of poetic license, aren't you?

haha Well......not really "poetic" license.....but, I do clean up his grammar and make him sound a wee bit smarter, ya know ('tis my only innate gift - grammar patrol )

excellent wordage

and.....the marmite...... I have a feeling it would make me barf.........

GAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: :lol:

Our Patti is now using words like squalid and drunken

I'm not going to leave it up too long. People will start asking me about my Lyme disease and tapeworm and instead of telling them I'm not Carla, I'm likely to just make stuff up.

*snort*

I don't see a problem with that?

BTW - Patti said 'succinctly'

and SQAULID

oh yes, I do it frequently!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG - have to go to camera store soon - - will claim that I don't know from whence camera was purchased (costco, december 2006)....my goal is to fix up, look as cute-ish as possible, and then gently flirt - - see if one a' them camera guys can see what's wrong...........

ALEX!!!!!!! I am so sorry about yoru broken ceramics. What a heartbreak.

Just google McKenzie Childs (Nik will know!) and look at what they do with their broken pottery. Seems to me the large picture frames were nice......good gawd, there's SO much you can do.......I've got tons of ideas and have done TONS of things........

[Darn210]

Patti!!!! I swear!!! Look at my response!!! I did a preview and see you already gave Alex the answer. Of course, where you provided sympathy, I provided teasing . . . hmmm . . . yep, I'll stick with what I wrote.

Mosaic picture frame . . . lots of plane wood frames at places like JoAnn's or Michael's . . . then put a picture of you and your mom in it. OK, that's kind of sentimental . . . you're not starting to cry, are you? <heehee, post New Year's Eve button pushing . . .>
