[Green12]

Well Susie according to the Redneck pickup lines you must be in love because you couldn't hold it in

Hope you feel better!

[elye]

Well, this is something that has my curiosity truly peaked...Answer please, Peter:

Why, at the very bottom of the page where we are shown who is lurking or reading, is there always ONE member name underlined and in italics? The name changes frequently...are these people special? I must state that I have NEVER noticed MY name presented in such a way. Ever. What does it all mean??

I believe that the underlined person is posting. So you would never be able to see your own name underlined because it would only happen while you are posting and the names don't show up while you're on the posting page.

Kind of a conundrum I guess, or a catch 22(????) or even a Open Original Shared Link situation (this reference ought to stump them Yanks :lol: )

Oh........one can be too young for wine?

Oh! Requests...lets see.......

Ella Fitzgerald's Black Coffee?

Jerome Kearn's All the Things You Are?

Hey...This girl likes musicals.....!!!

*snort* yes, i think middle school qualifies as too young for wine!!

hmmm... don't know those songs... looking them up... no!! that ella fitzgerald song is so sad!! well, this jerome kern one is short but sweet

"all the things you are" jerome kern

time and again i've longed for adventure

something to make my heart beat the faster

what did i long for? i never really knew

finding your love i've found my adventure

touching your hand, my heart beats the faster

all that i want in all of this world is you

you are the promised kiss of springtime

that makes the lonely winter seem long

you are the breathless hush of evening

that trembles on the brink of a lovely song

you are the angel glow that lights a star

the dearest things i know are what you are

some day my happy arms will hold you

and some day i'll know that moment divine

when all the things you are, are mine!

plus my song!! and yes, i absolutely love musicals!!!

ooh... i found lyrics for grease and the wizard of oz!! so now i'll put a song from each every time!!

"hopelessly devoted to you" sandy

guess mine is not the first heart broken,

my eyes are not the first to cry

i'm not the first to know

there's just no gettin' over you

hello, i'm just a fool who's willing to sit around

and wait for you

but baby can't you see, there's nothin' else

for me to do i'm hopelessly devoted to you

but now there's nowhere to hide

since you pushed my love aside

i'm not in my head

hopelessly devoted to you

hopelessly devoted to you

hopelessly devoted to you

my head is saying "fool, forget him"

my heart is saying "don't let go"

hold on to the end, that's what i intend to do

i'm hopelessly devoted to you

but now there's nowhere to hide

since you pushed my love aside

i'm not in my head

hopelessly devoted to you

hopelessly devoted to you

hopelessly devoted to you

"somewhere over the rainbow" dorothy

when all the world is a hopeless jumble

and the raindrops tumble all around

heaven opens a magic lane

when all the clouds darken up the skyway

there's a rainbow highway to be found

leading from your window pane

to a place behind the sun

just a step beyond the rain

somewhere over the rainbow way up high

there's a land that i've heard of once in a lullaby

somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue

and the dreams that you dare to dream

really do come true

some day i'll wish upon a star

and wake up where the clouds are far behind me

where troubles melt like lemon drops

away above the chimney tops

that's where you'll find me

somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly

birds fly over the rainbow

why then, oh why can't i?

if happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow

why oh why can't i?

Hi Sillies!

I went and got my hair done this morning, I cut it shorter and put some blonde and red highlights in, I look so different. Now we need to head to Tarjay. Just popping in to say Hi to all my fellow Sillies!!!

What is everyone else doing today?

[DingoGirl]

Why I think *I* hate Westerns as much as you modern musicals!!!!...they are SO..*yawn* boring

Terry LOVES 'em....we EVEN have to watch 'Bonanza' and 'High Chaperel'..............time for a nap

Poor Nikkeigh. I am not a big fan of westerns either, but this one was quite good. We watched Amazing Grace this morning, crazy G is now gone, 'twas an OUTSTANDING movie.

no more implosions/explosions for me.

oh what a confusing state for you, probably almost a......torpor. Alex is right, it's when someone is posting.

Amanda! we MUST see a photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

onto productivity today..........

p.s. - yes Alex, this yank is quite flummoxed by that....Polkaroo? Polka dot? nevah hoid of it............

[Darn210]

I have not heard any news but perhaps it was posted on OMG. Carla and Bev were suppose to be in New York at approximately the same time. . . did they manage to meet up? Has anyone heard? (or hoid?)

[Judyin Philly]

I always line the seat with tons of toilet paper--have tried the squat, but peed down my leg

oh my good lord ..........................

Patti and I found another thing in common.

heck, now i have to go and clean off the computer screen from the water i I just squirted all over it.

yes, -----------our SO INTELLEGENT MODERATOR WITH THE MOST POSTS.................HAS SUCH IMPORTANT BITS OF INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH US.

good grief.......went back to keep reading....................and there are 3 more pages.

catch you al later.

patti when did you get so skinny? love that new photo.

hi all

[jerseyangel]

Ah...where to start?

Westerns--not usually my favorite, but I loved True Grit

Susie has a bug up her arse

Bev and Carla--Carla's back and she didn't get to meet up with Bev while in NYC--scheduling problems, I think.

I was in Macy's this morning.....had to use the rest room. All I could think of was this thread as I was lining the seat with paper

Amanda--we need a picture

[jerseyangel]

yes, -----------our SO INTELLEGENT MODERATOR WITH THE MOST POSTS.................HAS SUCH IMPORTANT BITS OF INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH US.

Glad I could be of help

[nikki-uk]

I believe that the underlined person is posting.

*Gasp*... I never knew!!!!!....thanks Alex

(this reference ought to stump them Yanks :lol: )

....love it

p.s. - yes Alex, this yank is quite flummoxed by that....Polkaroo? Polka dot? nevah hoid of it............

Gather fellow common wealthers!!!...'tis a flummoxed yank

You know the 'Macy' part of that sentence sounds terribly cosmopolitan to a little ole English gal (NOT the part where you line the seat with paper though )

Amanda--we need a picture

Agreed - 'tis customary for a new 'do'

[Erica94]

hey susie, i just remembered... how's stinker doing? what happened to her?

[CarlaB]

I have not heard any news but perhaps it was posted on OMG. Carla and Bev were suppose to be in New York at approximately the same time. . . did they manage to meet up? Has anyone heard? (or hoid?)

Hi, I've been busy since I got back, so I'm behind on this thread.

But I saw this. I did not get to see Bev ... she had a longer doctor's appt. than expected, so I caught an earlier flight.

The good news, Chloe was declared to be Lyme-free and she was switched over to herbs to transition off abx. I was taken off the medicine that was making me feel bad ... it was the only time I was having symptoms ... except for trouble getting up in the morning and insomnia, which I have all the time.

So, I, too, was taken off many of my abx. We added some thyroid and adrenal support, both prescription and herbal as he thinks that's my sleep problem and my trouble getting up in the morning problem. I also started an herbal protocol for the Lyme, but I'll be on it longer than Chloe. We know I have not gotten all of it because I become symptomatic when I take a drug that targets the dormant Lyme ... if it were all gone, I would not become symptomatic.

But you never get it all, so we're mainly working on building my strength back up after having been sick for so long and detoxing ... I'm still on a couple meds, too, a lot less hard core than before so I won't have to go to NY anymore. We'll have phone consultations now.

Wow, that was a little much for this thread, back to your silliness.

[Erica94]

very important question!! so me and my friend are baking cupcakes tomorrow for my US history class as part of a project but we're not using a gluten-free mix... see the problem is that i was just diagnosed a few weeks ago, and i haven't gone back to see the doctor yet, so i don't know how sensitive i am. i heard that some really sensitive people can't even touch or breathe in gluteny stuff, so what do i do!?!

please reply soon!! she's coming at 6 and then i won't be checking the thread until at least 4 tomorrow, after the baking

[elye]

Wow, Carla, you've been through a whole lot for just one person, haven't you? I admire you very much...it's tough enough keeping a marriage going and raising a couple of kids while healthy...raising six while ill must be Sisyphean to the extreme...

I believe that the underlined person is posting. So you would never be able to see your own name underlined because it would only happen while you are posting and the names don't show up while you're on the posting page.

Kind of a conundrum I guess, or a catch 22(????) or even a Open Original Shared Link situation (this reference ought to stump them Yanks )

Ah! The little mystery, solved. So if I understand this, we can tell what others on the board are doing by looking at how their name is appearing--italicized and underlined when they are in the act of posting. What if they are in the act of peeing? Is their name in block caps? What if they are naked? Is it in bold? (It should be...) Or if they're sitting there cheating, eating gluteny chips? I bet then there is a lot of puctuation after their name. Mygawd, privacy issues galore.....!

Hi Sillies!

I went and got my hair done this morning, I cut it shorter and put some blonde and red highlights in, I look so different. Now we need to head to Tarjay. Just popping in to say Hi to all my fellow Sillies!!!

Yes, Amanda....pic, please. Maybe if it is fantastic, we could do some hairsharing...

[DingoGirl]

oh my good lord ..........................

heck, now i have to go and clean off the computer screen from the water i I just squirted all over it.

:lol: HI JUDDYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so you pee down the leg also, eh?

Yes, Patti looks FAB in the new photo......and svelte!

I was in Macy's this morning.....had to use the rest room. All I could think of was this thread as I was lining the seat with paper

and I am most sure you did not have to step over a.....river of wee......

Gather fellow common wealthers!!!...'tis a flummoxed yank

See how she gains ......... ....a New Jersey? accent when stumped

I know, how did that happen?

You know the 'Macy' part of that sentence sounds terribly cosmopolitan to a little ole English gal (NOT the part where you line the seat with paper though )

Macy's......cosmopolitan........do they serve drinks at Macy's? Bev? :lol:

Can't stand going to Macy's......masses and hordes of people....that's because it's at the mall, which is to be avoided at all costs (though a monthly trip to Anthropologie is quite necessary).....but 'tis a lovely store, agreed. The one in Fresno is ghetto, though.......often there is just abject squalor in the fitting rooms - piles of clothes all over that the pigs (hey, how do you cross out words?) have literally just STREWN on teh floor, and they are understaffed, so not enough manpower to hang things up.....most bizarre -

hey susie, i just remembered... how's stinker doing? what happened to her?

declining, for sure. laboUred breathing....and then, moments of joy.......but the time is not far....... we just took a light sniffing tour, and she was smiling.

before that, Annie and I took a long orchard walk/run. As we were walking out the gate of Stepford, we heard a man yell out Annie's name.......'twas my stepfather ("grandpa" to Annie) showing a house!! what a crackup........Annie was out of her mind to see him......and he was showing a home to some of their best friends' daughter - really lovely family - who might be my new neighbor. Very nice girl, and this is their second time viewing two available homes, so she might move in.

Annie already checked - she has a dog.

Carla! nice to see you!!!

ERICA! we will slap you with a gluten-free noodle!!!!!!!!!!! You HAVE to make gluten-free cupcakes, you silly!!!!!!!!!!!!! (although I and many don't have a problem w/ the inhalation of flour)

[nikki-uk]

Good news Carla!!

They have pigs with clothes STREWN on them at macey's?????????????????????

I simply MUST go there!!!!!!! ...do they go 'oink'?......are they pink??.......have curly tails??? (I love the curly tails)

....ok.....am stumped.......what's a pig .........is it a clothes horse??????????

As we were walking out the gate of Stepford

Is this like the gates of hell??????????

...am amused by the fact your step- dad calls out 'Annie' and NOT 'Susan'........but maybe getting the attention of a gleeful whirly tail dog is more fun

Susie:Crossed out words - click on the double 'A' tab left of the smilie tab then click 'strikethrough'

[jerseyangel]

and I am most sure you did not have to step over a.....river of wee......

Not at all....it was the cleanest public restroom I've seen in a while. Actually smelled good

[elye]

nikki-uk eating contraband food whilst on a weight loss diet ( in italics/underlined)

Aha! I knew that, Nikki, as for a moment I saw your name in aerial black...that's the code for slimming-club cheater...

I simply MUST go there!!!!!!! ...do they go 'oink'?......are they pink??.......have curly tails??? (I love the curly tails)

Ah!! Nikki, you would therefore love my Gus...He is completely sub-standard, and would be thrown out of the confirmation portion of a dog show, due to his curly tail. It is just like a pig's...right over his back, a tight loop. Hilarious...or pathetic..

Erica!! Thank you so much for posting the lyrics to my absolutely favorite song, "All the Things You Are". It is the most beautiful, and definitely the most romantic, song ever written. EVER. So there.

[blueeyedmanda]

I will provide a picture as soon as I find our digital camera. I am going nuts looking for it....

So here is my horrible trip to Sal's (thrift store) this evening. I was in the aisle looking at some shirts and all of sudden got the little stomach rumble....and I shrugged it off, kept browsing and then the "D" feeling hit me....I had to haul A$$ to the cashier pay for my goods and speed home to make it to the loo.....

I may attempt to return later tonight since it is open till 9. I didn't eat anything bad for me so I think I have a little bug, I have been feeling off the last few days.

Had to share with you guys, I know you'll understand.

[jerseyangel]

Oh gosh yes, Amanda--I've had that happen more times than I can count.

Thank goodness you got home in time

[Judyin Philly]

I will provide a picture as soon as I find our digital camera. I am going nuts looking for it....

HOPE YOU FINE IT SOON CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEW BEAUTIFUL YOU.

I had to haul A$$ to the cashier pay for my goods and speed home to make it to the loo.....

WELL AT LEAST YOU MADE IT HOME. I SURE HAVE HAD THAT HAPPEN AND DIDN'T ONCE. IS THIS THE 'TICKLE' AND LET'S LAUGH THREAD OR...............'I'VE GOT A SECRET?'

JUDY

[DingoGirl]

WELL AT LEAST YOU MADE IT HOME. I SURE HAVE HAD THAT HAPPEN AND DIDN'T ONCE. IS THIS THE 'TICKLE' AND LET'S LAUGH THREAD OR...............'I'VE GOT A SECRET?'

JUDY

*snort* all of the above - and then some......... We seem to confess many of our secrets to one another (hence, the world if they are brave enough to check this )

NICOLA!!!!!!!! the PIGS are the HUMANS that go in there, try all the clothing on, then just throw things on the floor.

I am not kidding, one year, around Christmas time, I went into the dressing rooms.....and EVERY SINGLE ONE had "clothes bombs" in them, up to two feet high, stacked SOLID with piles of clothing - Most startling!!!!!

Amanda - OMG!!!!!!!! so glad you got home!!!!!!! Yes, possibly the same bug I had up me own arse??????? OMG - we're not BUG sharing are we? I thought the sharing only applied to....brains and.......hair?

Emily - Gus has a pig tail????? oh, the indignity of it all....

NIcola - contraband food and.......underlined italics Excellent system, Emily. Um, how does one's name show up when she is supposed to be working quite studiously on something and she is......avoiding/procrastinating????????????

THERE"S BEV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi Beaverly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mtndog]

Oh My GAWD- I go away for 3 days for my lobotomy and I return to have 13 pages to read! HELPPPPPPPPP! And Emoticon bustage!!

Well, Gus is being his normal, ridiculous self, prancing about, smiling, causing a big mess at his food bowl, but last night both cats were...different. Must be something in the air that they're sensing, the pet melancholy that we've been discussing. They were both clamboUring to get in my lap, faces in my neck. Bryce is a huge orange tabby, so this is done with absolutely NO grace or dignity... At bedtime they were both around my head, mewling and kneading my skull...and then Gus is standing there, eyes bright with wonder, tail whipping back and forth, saying, I'm sure, "What? What? What is it?!" Indeed. What was it?...

I don't know what this means but since we adopted Angus, my 20 pound male tabby has felt the need to sit on my face or Angus's in bed (he's normally quite shy) but he has a smelly bum. Angus likes it (go figure!!!!!!!!)

Judy!!!!!

What do you mean you don't have a sense of humoUr??? Well, I happen to know that you are truly funny and have a very fine--I might even say finely honed sense of hunoUr!

Don't worry if something goes over your head--if that happens to me, I just move on and wait till it comes to me

Come and play with us more often

Judy- Come to us...you KNOW you want to!!!!!!!! Loook what we've done to with patti!!!!!!!!!! MOO HOO AH HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOOSE VOWELS

Hey!! I used to be able to squeeze out my female dog's anal glands...got the vet to show me how, and then I didn't have to always take her in when she started scooting. Quite a heinous, but simple proceedure. Susie, I can whip up a demonstrative flowchart for you, if you wish...

OMG- my dog-in-law, Gracie, had to go in for this "procedure". Need less to say, it was a tad messy and the vet tech emerged from the room, covered in "loose vowels," walking down the hall past my in-laws muttering, "I love my job, I love my job."

Have been to the dentist to be recrowned

However ...(*snigger*) *I* had the last laugh on kitty Will this morn.

He has a penchant for drinking from the toilet bowl (EWW!!) ...he lost his footing (pawing?) and fell in the bowl

HA HA HA !!!!!!!!!!!

NEVER seen a wet cat look so sorry for himself!! ......OH how we laughed

Why Nikki- we could have Re-crowned you....you shall henceforth be known as Princess Knickers

You've got one weird brain, Tom. Don't wanna be sharing yours, if it suddenly short-circuits in such homonymic ways...do you have an extended warranty?

Homonomonymic? Tom is suffering from homonomonism? It's a SERIOUS disease Tom, but rarely fatal. At least you don't have onomatopeiaism. That's much worse!!!!!!!!

I have returned from NY (yes- I know you were all terribly worried ) where walking down Broadway I got a VERY Joey Tribiani from Friends like "How YOU doin'?" Burst out laughing!!!!!!!!!!!

just to refresh your memories: Open Original Shared Link

[psawyer]

Well, this is something that has my curiosity truly peaked...Answer please, Peter:

Why, at the very bottom of the page where we are shown who is lurking or reading, is there always ONE member name underlined and in italics? The name changes frequently...are these people special? I must state that I have NEVER noticed MY name presented in such a way. Ever. What does it all mean??

Others have already responded, but since you asked me directly, the others are correct. The member whose name is italicized is composing a reply in the current thread.

Now, as to your other ideas, perhaps you could try composing a reply while naked and I'll see how your name appears at the time. You'll have to let me know when you do it, and what other things you might also be doing simultaneously.

Does posting in my nightshirt count?
