Now why have *I* never ONCE had a hot chickadee come by to fix anything???????????????

[elye]

EMILY'S BACK!!!!!!!!

...thought she may still have been in the forumless abyss (no-one can hear you scream)

I was even beginning to wonder just what Emily would do to while away the hrs sans silly.

....maybe watch T.V .....read a book ??

...or stare out back window at lovely gentleman straddling my utility pole....

Yes indeed sillies......watch yourselves!! - there will be a son of a Brit silly arriving on your continent roughly 7pm Eastern time

Imagine how excited he must be!! Cannot wait to hear what he says when he calls you, Nikki.....

OH BTW !!!- Our Yeti is actually hooking up with Al on Monday ....GAD he loves Disney

Our yeti in Disneyworld?! Mygawd...he just may get mistaken for one of the characters, and be put in the big parade at The Magic Castle. Perhaps he'll get a dance with Cinderella......

Always amused by the Britishisms - "straight away" . ..."larking about" .. ..are ya sure he didn't say "fortnight" ?

Funny, some Britishisms have been fully adopted into the Canadian lingo, but none of those three have been...unfortunately, as I love them.

And yes, I was pretty good for a few hrs yesterday and better today.

This is great, Pthauoghm. The Worm-Be-Gone is settling in.....

Yes, and see if he can put a price on what it'd take to consume ONLY beverages which have previously passed through another being.

Quote: "Millions and millions.......and I bet the stuff's GREEN!"

Of course! John and I are his adopted Aunt and Uncle, what kind of Aunt would I be not teaching him all the good stuff, hopefully we will get to the park tonight.

What a lucky little guy to have you guys, Amanda!

...And great score at the Sally Anne!

[jerseyangel]

Bored here....Mark out of town till tomorrow. I should be cleaning out the guest room so it can be painted, but seem to have inertia

The sun is back out, and I'm enjoying the last warm day for a while on the porch. Doing nothing

[DingoGirl]

BTW, has anyone seen how ridiculous the personal ads are there? Oh .. .I suppose not.

OMG, yes, I have. In Monterey, years ago, the phunniest thing happened adn I'm not even sure I can 'splain it adequately, or remember it entirely correctly.

I haven't checked on those personals for years, but there USED to be some normal ones mixed in w/ all the sluts and ho's and people looking for that-night's-date, way back when. So - I actually answered one once, and we sent a few emails - maybe over a week's time. Somehow, my dingo brain got one guy mixed up wif someone else......and soon, I clicked on some photos again, or maybe saw them for the first time.....and there was a half-nekkid Mick Jaggerish looking letch sort of.....posing.....around this swampy, stagnant large pool/pond thing in a woodsy area. There was also a young-ish boy in the photos, off in the distance, an abandoned bus, and a statue of a nude woman, as I recall. Now, nothing overtly lewd or wrong was occurring in these creepy photos, but I THOUGHT I had been writing to a hunky 30-something skiier w/ a great career (who did seem to exist once I straightened out the snafu), but was instead writing to some back-country, skinny, mulletted creature from a lagoon.

What I can't capture is the subtle but distinct horror I experienced when realizing, those few days, I'd been mildly corresponding with this......Appalachian miscreant........ *snort* That was my last foray into Craig's list personals.

Hey, when does Janet get back? 'Tis a bit less snarkier without her here!

OMG - I believe the Son of Silly has landed in Florida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SILLIES!!!!!! must carry on w/ the gardening and cleaning. 'Tis a glorious day, maybe 80 degrees and pure sun. Squeezee had a marvelous time at the dog park, despite the look of glib boredom on her face currently......

see ya later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PATTI (OMg how DID Tom get that - weird symbol into your new creative name spelling?) ENJOY your doing nothing, guilt-free! You deserve it......pour yerself a tall glass o' the phaerie and just take it all in, babe.......

[jerseyangel]

Why, as I'm reading Susie's post, do I hear "Dueling Banjos" in the back of my mind? Gawd, swampy, mulleted miscreant--that was a close one! For a minute there, he musta thought he reeled in a classy one

Janet returns tomorrow, if I remember correctly

A lands in 2 1/2 hours....hope it's as sunny down there as it is here right now.

Still bored.....

[jerseyangel]

PATTI (OMg how DID Tom get that - weird symbol into your new creative name spelling?) ENJOY your doing nothing, guilt-free! You deserve it......pour yerself a tall glass o' the phaerie and just take it all in, babe.......

I wondered that very thing!

Ptathumn?

[elye]

Yes, yes, me as well...I immediately began scanning over my keyboard to see if I had this Mitosis A and E key....but no. I don't even have the double dot to signify two separate vowel sounds, as in "Noel". See? I can't signify that this word is No-el, not Nole. Where do I apply for such a key? How do I get this crazy, mashed AE diphthongey key?

....and there was a half-nekkid Mick Jaggerish looking letch sort of.....posing.....around this swampy, stagnant large pool/pond thing in a woodsy area. There was also a young-ish boy in the photos, off in the distance, an abandoned bus, and a statue of a nude woman, as I recall.

OMG.......Susie, are you certain this miscreant did not simply put up a pic of his favorite Dali print to demonstrate his appreciation for the Post-Modernists?

....Appalachian miscreant........

Gaaaahhhh!

Although quite politically incorrect, this is a new, FINE garage band name.

[blueeyedmanda]

BTW, has anyone seen how ridiculous the personal ads are there? Oh .. .I suppose not.

Anyway, the VAST majority of women-seeking-men, of course are spammy b.s., but what's TRULY ridic is that whenever one seems real, it's 'flagged for removal' for reasons unknown, by a bunch of jackasses who click on some obviously-abused Feature.

Almost every time I've looked there are new Rants about how useless that part of craigslist is, because a few morons get the legit ads removed w/ a few clicks & zero accountability.

One day at work my former cubie mate and I clicked on the Craigslist PA's just to see, and then we clicked on a women seeking women one....not realizing there were pictures.....anyhoo all you see is this ahem...larger framed woman spreading her legs wide and you could see everything Then her contact #'s......yikes!

[psawyer]

No

[elye]

No

[nikki-uk]

I fink this should mean we'll get an url for a send-off pic??

I fink so too Thaugham, Ptathumn, Pthauoghm Tom ...let you guys know....

Heehee

Always amused by the Britishisms - "straight away" . ..."larking about" .. ..are ya sure he didn't say "fortnight" ?

Why Ptaum! - I'm not sure he DIDN'T say a fortnight ....do you not have fortnights over there???

NO larking about????

GAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't decide on which sentence to quote as it was ALL so phunny

Appalachian Miscreant

A Classic Dingo tale ...of which we (sillies) love & revel in

but best of all was the 'straightening out of the snafu LOL!!!!

OMG - I believe the Son of Silly has landed in Florida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Delayed!!

Am tracking Open Original Shared Link - scroll down to Virgin Atlantic, London Gatwick , flight # 015

GADS...nearly 11pm here ...waaay past his bedtime ...hope he slept a bit on the plane

Patti et al....I am very jealous of your warm, lazy day, toes out weather!!

Still 'boots' weather here I'm afraid

[nikki-uk]

No

[tom]

... straddling my utility pole....

Why must EVERYthing remind me that I don't have a girlfriend yet??????

It was supposed to be 'job in Nov' & and on 2nd or 3rd girlfriend by NOW!!!!!!

Our yeti in Disneyworld?! Mygawd...he just may get mistaken for one of the characters, and be put in the big parade at The Magic Castle. Perhaps he'll get a dance with Cinderella......

Or w/ Chuck Norris as Cinderfella?

I do recall some funny business during parade numero uno.

This is great, Pthauoghm. The Worm-Be-Gone is settling in.....

aNOTHER gnew ik-kwip-seh!!!

But it really was a chocolate/cookie/sugar etc issue. Playing PassTheParasite seemed to only bum me out for a couple days at start-up.

Quote: "Millions and millions.......and I bet the stuff's GREEN!"

I realized after posting, that some science guy has probably proven, to a high probability, that EVERY water molecule on earth has been ingested & .. .returned to nature(?) multiple times. Somehow, I'm thinking I heard it was 30x.

...And great score at the Sally Anne!

Aha!!! THAT means Salvation Army???

OMG, yes, I have. In Monterey, years ago, the phunniest thing happened . .

.....and there was a half-nekkid Mick Jaggerish looking letch sort of.....

. .. .but I THOUGHT I had been writing to a hunky 30-something skiier w/ a great career (who did seem to exist once I straightened out the snafu), but was instead writing to some back-country, skinny, mulletted creature from a lagoon.

. . . ..

......Appalachian miscreant........ *snort*

ROFL throughout . .. ..made me realize how giggly I am today so I tried some ph calls .. ..I NEED something to DO!!

Did scout out the bball court & the pool. Pool nicely crowded - deck anyway - w/ bikinis (and a few guys). Barely said hello to a couple . .. . .feels like I should talk to some at LEAST long enough to discover whether their moms might be single.

Wish I had a reason to go to Santa Cruz.

Hmmmm maybe should call Doreen or Mei .. . . Thinking back, I've realized I may have broken Doreen's heart a little 17-18 yrs ago. Had forgotten she broke up w/ her fiance to go out w/ me. To me it was just a fling. <sigh>

[tom]

Part Deux

PATTI (OMg how DID Tom get that - weird symbol into your new creative name spelling?)

I'd 'splain it to ya, but it might be aneurysmatical . .. ..Dare I?

I have a special button on my keybd (

[nikki-uk]

A-E????

BAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

People, son of silly has landed ....may the fun begin.............

[tom]

GAAAAAHHHHHH! Susie and I say to stop that right now!

Peter, how do I make the A and E smash up together to denote an elongated diphthong, or adjacent but separate vowel sounds? Methinks it's MRI-DINK code page 33222, abbreviated as C3P0-IMA PIGG er sumfin'......

I can't verify it, but I believe it needs to be in Hex, so

[Darn210]

Hellllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Sillies!!!!

Well, we are back!!! Didn't spend much time at Niagara Falls so we are back today instead of tomorrow. I was able to follow along a bit at my friend's so I didn't get too far behind. I am all caught up but am so tired that I don't remember too much of what I've read . . .

Had a few funnies to reply but the initial posts were ages ago (more than five pages) that you probably wouldn't remember what I was talkin' about!!

to Susie's Appalachian miscreant . . . made me think of the Zombie. They were both shirtless, right?? . . . you don't think he's one and the same, do you?? . . . perhaps he's been stumblin' about for years trying to find you!!!

Sarah!!! I'm glad that no one was seriously hurt and am a-Paul-ed at how some people behave!!

Nikki - YaY for Alan's special Disney trip!! Hope he has a blast!!

Caught meself callin' sumfin "wackl" during my trip then looking slyly around wondering if anybody heard me . . . maybe they just thought I said "wacky" . . . maybe they're just bein' nice and ignoring the wackl crazy lady.

[blueeyedmanda]

John has offered to cook me dinner tonight....boy am I lucky!

[jerseyangel]

People, son of silly has landed ....may the fun begin.............

People, son of silly has landed ....may the fun begin.............

Yahooo! Is Disney 1st? I remember a good-sized itinerary - and not all inland .. .wasn't Cape Kennedy on it? (I always think Cape Canaveral 1st)

Hellllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Sillies!!!!

HellooOOOOOOooooooo!!!!!

Silly Summit Smilin' Sillies Av IS great!

Yes! And the bandages were due to partial spleen removal (necessitated by con-janet-il organ defects), and we all know the gifting of spleenage equates to engagement amongst miscreantic swampers.

You're picking up moms!!! :lol:

[psawyer]

Well put, Oracle, tho doesn't it require the Hexadecimal (base16) value?

And I could swear I used to have to enter 4digits, w/ a leading zero.

I can't verify it, but I believe it needs to be in Hex, so

[Ridgewalker]

Thanks for the well-wishes and everything, you guys! Nobody woke up this morning with a locked-up neck or back, so it looks like Ezra's brush burn was the only injury. Thank goodness.

Janet, welcome back! Love the new av, you guys are so lucky getting to meet up!

Nikki, I was thinking about Alan this evening. I hope he's having a great time!!!

Btw-- speaking of British terms and phrases... I thought British lawyers were called barristers. But then I just read a book by Sophie Kinsella, that referred to lawyers AND barristers. What's the difference??? (I love British chick lit. Read it every chance I get. )

I went up the road to get some eggs from my best friend's mom, and I took the boys with me so they could see the chickens. We haven't been over much this year, although we were over there every other day last summer. (They have a better creek access than we do. I have some bush-hogging to do. That sounded so butch. I don't have a bush-hogger, wouldn't know what to do with one if I did. I'm gonna have to do the hack-and-slash method with my clippers/trimmers/whackers, etc.)

Anyway, back to today... It was fun, all the chickens ran over to the fence to see if we had food. And they are all big, beautiful, fluffy-feathered chickens. They were so clean and pretty! I don't have much chicken-experience myself, and I guess I expected them to look a little dirty. I dunno why... 'cause they live outside?

Then we walked to the other area where the roosters are. You should have seen the looks on the boys' faces when the roosters opened up and did their cockadoodledoo thing! It was hilarious-- they were flabbergasted! And then they both burst into the most hysterical belly laughter... They just could not believe it was a real rooster, really crowing.

I wish I'd taken a camera, but I didn't even think of it. Oh well... I'm really looking forward to the summer.
