The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

Ohhhh!!! That sounds like a good deal to me!!!! I shall contribute my (gluten-free) choc chip cookies (my friend in Massachusetts couldn't stay away from them) and some asian chicken lettuce wraps (a PF Changs knock-off).

Leave the absinthe to me.......

HEY!! Some great news for our cause!

The Ripper has been really wanting to write a letter into our local newspaper about his experience on a gluten-free diet. Yesterday, he sat down at the computer and composed a very mature, well-thought out letter. We emailed it off as last night. My cell phone rang at 8:35 this morning - - they're printing it, and a photographer is coming over tomorrow to take our picture! So when it is published, I'll post the link....

Guess he shouldn't have ended the letter off with the question, "Would you eat a piece of poop for a life of guaranteed perfect health?"

OK- on the brighter side I am fostering a wee love bug named Sadie (see new avatar). She is so sweet and she and Angus are madly in love! They kiss constantly. It's good as Kurt is leaving for New Orleans (Jazz Fest) on Wednesday for 6 days.

Hi Bev Sorry you haven't been doing so well, stupid lyme!

Sadie is soooo cute, if I were closer I would take her, then our kids could be married

Well, Sophie's appointment went well, just more paper to add to the already huge file on her accident that we'll be presenting to the school board fairly soon...

In September '04, during the first week of school, Sophie, then 12, was outside for her gym class. This day was 94 degrees and blisteringly humid. They were doing football drills. Sophie asked to go in and get water, and the teacher said no, they'd be all going in shortly. Sophie asked again ten minutes later, and was again not let in to get water. Finally, they all were told to head inside. Sophie rushed in to the water fountain, by this time dying of thirst and weak, and there was already a big lineup at the fountain. She asked the teacher if she could go to the fountain down the hallway, and the teacher said, "No. Stay in this line, please".

And that's all Sophie remembers.

She woke up on the floor, blood everywhere. She'd passed out due to a sudden blood-pressure drop, due to lack of hydration. Her four front teeth were completely smashed in and hanging. The braces she'd just had put on, fortunately, kept her teeth from being all over the floor.

I got called, and went to the school. No ambulance had been called. Just me.

So, the story meanders on from there, but she's had all the teeth reset, splinted, filed down and root canalled. We're now getting estimates on what can be expected in years to come, because the claim can only continue for five years.

My poor kid. But she's been AMAZING through it all. SO brave, it's astonishing. Thank gawd, because I've often been a mess.....

Emily, this is appauling...totally inexcusable. Was this 94 degrees C? And was it the same teacher both outside and at the drinking fountain?

I'm so sorry for all she had to go through with her teeth, what a trooper she is.

OK, tomorrow is the big day . . . I have to read my nomination letter at the big nurses luncheon . . . NOT big as in they all weigh over 250lbs but big as in it's suppose to be about 1000 people. Yeah!!! you heard me!!!! ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not that I'm panicking or anything.

Janet, picturing the big nurses nekkid might help

Tom, glad you had a good time.

Susie, sounds like you ahd a really great weekend. Can't wait to hear more details about it all, and the mini kissey meet

Amanda, congrats to your friend.

Put me down to bring gluten-free chocolate cake and carrot cake!!

[elye]

Emily, this is appauling...totally inexcusable. Was this 94 degrees C? And was it the same teacher both outside and at the drinking fountain?

94 F...About 38 C.

Yes, it was the same teacher denying her access to water the whole time. A young, very pretty teacher, new to the school....

She was gone the following year.

Anyways, our claim will end up being thousands upon thousands of dollars....

New front teeth for ma girl.

Well......she could have broken her jaw, but was very lucky. So we must remind ourselves of this...

Ohhhhhhhhhh!! I wanna meet MY SILLIEEEEESSSS!!! Gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, lettuce wraps, bakery stuff, absinthe, and us, chortling and guffawing......A Silly Rendezvous.....

[Mtndog]

Bev!! What a beeeeeooooootiful dog Sadie is.....Mygawd, how on earth will you be able to give her away? It would be SO tough for me to be doggie foster-mom. I would just keep them all, and have twenty three dogs at the end of a year.

Hope you're feeling better soon, Bev.

Thanks!!!!! she is very sweet!!!!!!!!!!

WTH!! I say we start flinging flying squirrels at that teacher.

OMG Emily- I think I would've punched her!!!!!!!!! That is HORRID. I taught middle school and I ALWAYS let my kids go get drinks/pee because although some of them may have been pulling my leg, I wasn't about to let one of them get sick or pee their pants. This makes me SO SO SO SO angry!!!!!!!!!!

Ohhhh!!! That sounds like a good deal to me!!!! I shall contribute my (gluten-free) choc chip cookies (my friend in Massachusetts couldn't stay away from them) and some asian chicken lettuce wraps (a PF Changs knock-off).

Awwwwww yah!

Sadie is soooo cute, if I were closer I would take her, then our kids could be married

Awwww :wub:

:lol: Ok... PERFECT health? No more sinus infections or allergies? No more worrying about blood pressure or lung cancer? No more Celiac and I can eat whatever I wa.... wait a minute. Perfect body fat percentage???

I would totally eat a piece of poop. Happily! With a sh!t-eating grin on my face! Serve it up with a knife and fork, baby I'll take one turd and a couple tubes of toothpaste to go!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome news about the paper, I can't wait to see it.

I'd want to punch that teacher, too. What an idiot.

[Green12]

Sillyville was quiet today, too many busy sillies and pooped sillies from extra curricular activities over the weekend?!?!

What great news!!!1 very exciting!

Morning Sillies!

I attempted the jogging thing again, and I ran farther than last time....still very out breath though, but I did run so I was happy with that

Time to get some work done....yep scary huh?

[elye]

Gidday, Sillies!

Wow, it was indeed quiet yesterday...I was thinking back to last summer when we were in parade-planning mode...I'd leave the computer for an hour, check back and there would be two pages to read! I think there was a stretch where we hammered out ten pages a day...

Well, Alex's wedding is soon, is it not? Time to put the floats through a spring tune-up and 21-point inspection....

Ok... PERFECT health? No more sinus infections or allergies? No more worrying about blood pressure or lung cancer? No more Celiac and I can eat whatever I wa.... wait a minute. Perfect body fat percentage???

OMG.....

If my diabetes would disappear, I'd eat almost anything, methinks. Poop would likely be one of the toughest to get down, but I think I could muster up enough mental grit.

...Toothpaste on top?! Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[~alex~]

Less than two weeks -- Yikes! Actually things are pretty much in place. But I'm starting to get some butterflies thinking about it.

We're still trying to choose between two songs for our first dance: Better Together by Jack Johnson or Into the Mystic by Van Morrison. Better Together seems more like a wedding song but at the same time seems a little clich

[jerseyangel]

We're pretty set on How Sweet it is to be loved by you by James Taylor for the father-daughter/mother-son dance. Admittedly a little corny and overdone I'm sure, but we like it!

Love it! Not corny at all

Gosh, 2 weeks!!!! Just don't forget to breathe--it'll all work out the way it is supposed to

How's Ryan doing with everything?

that's so COOL!!!!!!!! The Ripper would be famous!

I would eat poop for a freaking week if I was guaranteed perfect physical and mental health!!!!!!!!! I'd eat that sh#*t RIGHT now just to get rid of Lyme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S#*t eating grin......tee hee

[jerseyangel]

"Would you eat a piece of poop for a life of guaranteed perfect health?"

In a New York minute!

Ohhhhhhhhhh!! I wanna meet MY SILLIEEEEESSSS!!! Gluten-free chocolate chip cookies, lettuce wraps, bakery stuff, absinthe, and us, chortling and guffawing......A Silly Rendezvous.....

We have to somehow make this happen--how fun

[blueeyedmanda]

Agreeed....sadly on the first one too!

Guys...the yeti poop has not helped our dear unfriendly coworker....what else you got up your sleeves?

[elye]

I would eat poop for a freaking week if I was guaranteed perfect physical and mental health!!!!!!!!! I'd eat that sh#*t RIGHT now just to get rid of Lyme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking of you, Bev, when I posted the question. Figured you'd be right on board....

Considering how I can feel my gag reflex culminating at the mere thought of a large piece of poop on a plate in front of me, and my fork poised, I just don't think I could manage it, even with the guarantee of the diabetes disappearing.

Haven't got strong enough stuff.

Alex! I must go listen to Better Together as I don't think I know it.

This was our first dance:

Open Original Shared Link

See, I was born in the wrong generation....no question!

[nikki-uk]

NEARRRGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't turn up for ONE day & you guys are eating sh%t ???!!!!!!!

GADS!!!!!!!! hellascious hallitosis though.......don't you just hate the sh%t breath??

Son of Silly is trying to re-adjust but is prone to falling asleep unexpectedly if you don't keep him talking

...he managed to stay awake at school today, although he nodded off in the car on the way home

He wants to know WHEN he is going back (had ALOT more to do apparently!! )

....and he would like to recommend Virgin Atlantic Airlines as they do a yummy salmon & steamed veg dinner.

Anyhoo.....how are all my poo eating chums????????

Emily - so sorry Sophie went through what she did

A New York minute?? ...whaaa??? you guys are mad!!!!!

[Jestgar]

Who's in charge of plotting everyone's locations and figuring out the geographical center? Do we include Nik in the computations? Or would we be having the party on a boat........ sailing............to..........Jamaica.......

Well, if you're still married to the same guy, apparently it was true.

[jerseyangel]

I guess it was--and we are

Mygawd, Patti - - and I thought I was dating myself......

Actually, I would love to have had that Love and Marriage video playing on a big screen behind us as we danced....such fabulous footage of great romantic screen moments....

Nikki, you never told us whether you'd eat some poop to have perfect health. But wait - - you already have that. All right, to have ten (fifteen?) pounds suddenly vanish--forever.

Yeah, that's mighty tempting as well....

[Ridgewalker]

NEARRRGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True... I don't think Brian would ever kiss me again, perfect body-fat % or no. Weak stomach. Hmm.... I'd do it anyway!

You know... I never got in on the feet/butt face conversation because it was too freaky-gross. This one though, is doable.

So glad that Son of Silly had such a good time!!!

[nikki-uk]

Dear gawd........Alex is getting married in TWO WEEKS!!! ....AND she still has time to post here??!!

The yeti is ready (even got a bit of a tan from the Florida sun) and we've got the care bear ready.........

Who's in charge of plotting everyone's locations and figuring out the geographical center? Do we include Nik in the computations? Or would we be having the party on a boat........ sailing............to..........Jamaica.......

I can travel .........but I can't pay ...a common dilemma always slowing down my plans of a world tour

I do get sea sick though (green guy emoticon)

Nikki, you never told us whether you'd eat some poop to have perfect health. But wait - - you already have that. All right, to have ten (fifteen?) pounds suddenly vanish--forever.

Well,......<stroking chin thoughtfully>

I wouldn't say I have 'perfect' health but...yeah...lucky in alot of respects.....

..does the 10 (fifteen) pounds stay off no matter what I eat????? .....a VERY important consideration before I commit to the poo pheast

[Ridgewalker]

..does the 10 (fifteen) pounds stay off no matter what I eat????? .....a VERY important consideration before I commit to the poo pheast

See, that's what I'm saying! "guaranteed perfect health." Perfect health means perfect body-fat percentage, guaranteed, for life!

Am I right, Em???

(Wondering if I'm too eager to eat poo........ NAH!)

[jerseyangel]

You know... I never got in on the feet/butt face conversation because it was too freaky-gross. This one though, is doable.

[Jestgar]

Could we also get a clarification on the source? And what that source was eating?
