It's Ptaoughmghmn's unofficial job, methinks. To notice, and then draw our attention to, these things....

Why yes, it IS Phataughm who has his finger on the pulse of the goings on here in Sillyville!

Em--good luck at the vet...thinking about you and little Elsie

[tom]

I KNEW it!!!!! I knew there HAD to be a big number coming up.....this explains the basement flood

I dunno - I'd need more mathematical substantiation to support trans-continental postal phlipover phluid-ephekt transference.

Particularly for a phenomenon w/out precedence.

Maybe the distance 'tween Patti & Jess equals sillythread post # (14397) minus Patti's personal # ? (11770). That's 2,627miles. Sounds too far. Hmmmmm

Maybe if we find a way to convert your birthdays to angles and multiply the miles by (1 - the difference in cosines)?

[blueeyedmanda]

I am sitting here so excited for the Silly Reunion, just thinking of the fun time it will be :)

Any ideas on what else we can do?

STOP IT!!!!!!!

Um........Cosine was Jean Valjean's adopted daughter (Fantine's bastard child) in Les Miserables.........now how in hell does SHE figure into this equation? Sheesh...........you math people try and turn all kinds of things into variables.......

<------ the weakest chortle

hellllllllllp meeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Keep working on it--I think you're on to sumphin'

<------ the weakest chortle

You poor little thing Are you feeling any better today, Susie?

[DingoGirl]

oops - after all that - the girl's name was Cosette - I am truly dingo brained today.

Keep working on it--I think you're on to sumphin'

You poor little thing Are you feeling any better today, Susie?

*sniff* *sniff* *sniff* thanks Patti..........crying a lot and very definitely menstrually deranged. Best to not leave the house todya................

[Jestgar]

oops - after all that - the girl's name was Cosette - I am truly dingo brained today.

I thought you did that on purpose to point out the silliness of math

[elye]

Yes, Susie! How's our Menstruating Missy, today?

I DO hope you're on the upswing.....

I am presently feeling terrific, as Elsie's legs are, at least skeletally, poifect.

Muscularly, they are nonexistent. She has very little muscle mass anywhere. This is okay - - we can work on this. She has gone from NO activity to a great deal of activity. It has been an overload situation...we've been expecting too much from her, too soon. Poor wittle fing. So we need to proceed with caution and much less fervour. A long walk every day is enough for now, and work up to short distance running. YAYYYYY!!! She's okay....

He also said that she's quite underweight. I replied, "Oh, gawd. She's put on a fair amount in a week. You should have seen her ten days ago!" He just shook his head. Sooooo glad we have her....and so, he assured me, is our vet.

Cosine...Les Mis...

Cosine is part of that whole ludicrous logarithm thang, isn't it? Sine, Cosine, Tangeant.....

Gaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.........

Such useful, mind-numbing business that I call upon.. ..hmmmm.. ..let's see.. ..approximately... .. NEVER.. .. .to use in everyday life.

I am sitting here so excited for the Silly Reunion, just thinking of the fun time it will be

Any ideas on what else we can do?

We must all put our heads together....A Silly Confab?

[DingoGirl]

I thought you did that on purpose to point out the silliness of math

oh, as if it's actually NECessary to point out the silliness of math! ha ha

Yes, Susie! How's our Menstruating Missy, today?

Not on the upswing. Menstrually DARK and causing........problems, methinks. Ask Kissey.

and yeah, NO USE AT ALL for these logarithms and Sines and Cosettes Cosines, (can't even believe I"m typing these words) Tangeants, 'tis all bullocks............EVERYONE knows it..........

silly confab........... am so sad at the Philly Silly reunion........so far away.......I've got free lodging in Boston but.........can fly free standby w/ Kissey but...........that ain't so close to philly now is it?

[jerseyangel]

Emily--

Great, great news about Elsie! I kinda had a feeling that was it, but it's so good to know for sure!!!

She just needs a little meat on her (perfekt) bones!

[tom]

Keep working on it--I think you're on to sumphin'

I need more data!!!!!!!!!!!

In Chinese Year of the Tiger fashion, what animal year are the two of you?

But then how to relate animals to interstate phluid-effect transfer?

Could the multiple of your post counts = the sum of the # of seconds for the animals to traverse the transfer endpoints?

I must be barquing up the wrong Willow .. . ..Jess not only hasn't yet hit 2000, she's got NEW CATS COMING <probably> & Patti's basement flood was a couple days ago. The synchronicity discrepancy is disturbing.

Patti? I don't suppose #2 all-time has passed you to become #1 while your laptop is doing the road-warrior thing. Unlikely but THAT would be enough to explain it.

oops - after all that - the girl's name was Cosette

:lol:

Best to not leave the house today................

Hope it gets better soon Dingy

Elsie sure is lucky to have you, Em!

Ohhhh, poor baby! It's like she's been in a coma or something! Emily, I am SO SO SO glad you have her now!!!

My best friend and I have agreed that when our husbands die, we're moving in together into a big old farmhouse, and rescue as many cats as we can. We'll be crazy cat ladies together.

I spent ALL MORNING, literally, doing bills and figuring out a two week grocery list, including gluten-free, low cholesterol, low carb, low sodium dinners for four, breakfasts, lunches, non-food items, and I needed to keep it under $250. At one point I found myself actually pulling on my hair... but it's done. Whew. This new twist is gonna take some getting used to. Well, usually I have a bigger budget, but ya know, trying to catch stuff up.

I wish I could come to the Silly Summit!!! Sigh. Must do it again next year. Susie! Tom! Start saving now! And I will too.

[DingoGirl]

SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we MUST save for the silly confab!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or - next year, in that property next to your house, a big, silly, camp-out? harder but..........w/ yeti's help and many sillies WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW your heinous menu planning - - - Um, yeah, I'd have no hair left.......... Yer a good mommy!

EMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in my self-absorbed menstrual maelstrom of woe - - - OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Elsie just needs to build up her gams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is SUCH good news! Weezee is so pleased.................. so yeah, just start the lanky girl out on simple, easy things..........she'll be PHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

back to jewelry on the couch.

No word a'tall from the woman to whom I sent my resume yesterday. Becasue, that's right, IT SUUUUUUCKS.

<is this another thign I've mentioned here already? eejit >

[happygirl]

btw-when is the silly summit?

[Jestgar]

Yea!! on the healthy pup!

I say the next silly summit is on the west coast. Cali if it's not too hot, Seattle if it's not too wet, Andrea's house in Oregon if we can't decide (nobody tell her )

[jerseyangel]

Susie said "gams"

Gotta go--be back later......keep working, Ptaughaum...you're making progress!

[tom]

Gotta go--be back later......keep working, Ptaughaum...you're making progress!

Eureka!!

Did the flood coincide w/ the day Sillyville hit exactly 1000 pages behind Rachelville?

As a major participant in both -villes, it stands to reason you'd take the brunt of the phluidation.

In fact, I can't deduce ANY cross-thread ranking calculation where Patti doesn't leave everyone in the dust.

[Ridgewalker]

:lol: Party at Andrea's house! She just doesn't know it yet!

I'm sitting here, trying to think of something else to say... and I got nuthin'. I'm tired!

[Darn210]

I am presently feeling terrific, as Elsie's legs are, at least skeletally, poifect.

Fan*F@#&ing*Tastic!!!!

Yep, I'd be a mess if someone took me out running everyday . . . . . . too thin is not a problem, though.

[elye]

silly confab........... am so sad at the Philly Silly reunion........so far away.......I've got free lodging in Boston but.........can fly free standby w/ Kissey but...........that ain't so close to philly now is it?

Susie!! There must be someone you know in Philly who'd put up you two Kisseys for a couple of nights! HEY!!!...How about our own Judyinphilly??! Send her a nice, pleading email, and you can ALL come!

Great, great news about Elsie! I kinda had a feeling that was it, but it's so good to know for sure!!!

She just needs a little meat on her (perfekt) bones!

I know, I know. It's so wonderful. Gus was SO happy to see her return from the appointment...I believe he was worried.

Hmmmm...I think we need to have both Patti and Jess complete a 72-hour phart chart, with numerical specifics that can be observed along with changes in the interval and/or scale, perhaps altering the visual perception of data. This alteration may in itself explain the phluid phluctuation, as per Hermlicht's Theorum.

Elsie sure is lucky to have you, Em!

OMG.....I am SO lucky to have found her!! ..And Augustus is one lucky boy. What a girlfriend!

My best friend and I have agreed that when our husbands die, we're moving in together into a big old farmhouse, and rescue as many cats as we can. We'll be crazy cat ladies together.

...And Jess will be moving in, as well.....

No word a'tall from the woman to whom I sent my resume yesterday. Becasue, that's right, IT SUUUUUUCKS.

. .. .Maybe there's a bit of relief washing over you as well, Susie?

btw-when is the silly summit?

Lisa!! Probably sometime during July 8, 9 or 10.....

EVERYONE HAS TO MAKE THIS!! King Peter, help us find a way!!!

[happygirl]

Lisa!! Probably sometime during July 8, 9 or 10.....

Or, Laura

But, I hope our very own MG can come too!!!!!

[elye]

Or, Laura

Oh, duuuhhhh.....I'm sorry, Laura! Lisa is Momma Goose, and Curlyfries......

Laura AND Lisa² MUST COME!

[happygirl]

The only problem is that this is during the week...........and hypothetically, I am supposed to show up at work on those days!

[curlyfries]

I couldn't go out of the house to the grocery or whatever without running into one of "my kids"--who always greeted me with a big hug.

Yeah.... I get kids during school wanting to give me hugs. The girls are OK.....but if a middle school BOY wants a hug,...He's just trying to cop a feel

[Darn210]

The only problem is that this is during the week...........and hypothetically, I am supposed to show up at work on those days!

What part of the country are you from, Laura? Do I already know this? I don't remember if I do . . . it's been a long day. No sillies (or yetis) have yet to show up and help me spread all this freakin' mulch. Have had to do it all meself so far.
