Bev, I know I missed a lot, but do you have mono? I knew you weren't feeling well.

Well due to the exhaustion I experienced, they think it was a relapse (I've had it before) but they couldn't test for it because once you have it you always have the antibodies in your system. But based on my system, that's what they think it is. I'm feeling much better now!

Oh, ok--I'm glad that you're feeling better! I remember you not feeling well, and right when I came back, you had posted about having a good day--so I just missed the relapse part.

You sure have had more than your share this past year.

"death rabbits??"

Bev, what the heck is FRISKY DINGO???? I do like the name...... I have two frisky and fluffy and freshly-bathed dingos here. SO nice and clean-smelling, we washed the stinky beach smell right off. They went to grandma's today (secret visit, DO NOT tell my stepfather) and she nearly puked at their stench.

u hooo it's just me, one of the newbies, probably not at all sure of what she is doing. I was looking over the SillyYak posts, and Dingogirl told me to take a look at it. The jingles were a hoot. How about some poetry? If you don't mind I would like to post a poem that I wrote several years ago. I am terrified of spiders, actually even the mention of them gives me the heeby jeebies. Anyway one morning, I saw this little spider on the ceiling of my bedroom. I figured this was about as good as any time to confront my fears and lo and behold, I came up with this little itty bitty spider poem. (I'm still terrified) Ok here ya go.

Little spider on the ceilin'

Don't cha know just what Im feelin'?

Can't you see I'm so afraid!

So get on outta here before I grab the Raid!

....ok I'm done now

It reminded me that last night we tried to watch Snakes on a Plane because for months after we heard that it was coming out, my hubby and I would walk around imitating Samuel L. Jackson "There's Motherf*&%^n SNAKES ON THIS PLANE!"

We were so psyched to watch it and just laugh and about thirty minutes in my hubby couldn't take it anymore (it was after those MF snakes bit a guy in his hoo-hoo

Analogies and Metaphors Found in High School Essays

(or, 'How to Write Good'...)

Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one

of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

She grew on him like she was a colony of E-coli and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.

She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.

The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM.

The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.

McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 pm instead of 7:30.

Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.

The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

Oh, Jason, take me!"; she panted, her breasts heaving like a college freshman on $1-a-beer night.

He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that as actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

She was as easy as the TV Guide crossword.

Her eyes were like limpid pools, only they had forgotten to put in any pH cleanser.
