. . . since you've got an av of a pig using a bat . . ..

Looks more like the bat's using the pig.

(Wasn't the caption originally "squeal like Ned Beatty"? )

This has been the most incredible weekend--perfect weather, one son came to visit (wonderful surprise) and the other home safe and sound. Another room painted. Life is good

:)

I have just spent MANY hours tinkering with my new mobile cell phone that Terry got me for my birthday..........

Dear Gaaawd ......... just WHY would a phone have so many functions???????

GAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Some of us LOVE our mini-computers which happen to also be capable of the common phone call.

This morning, John got word a good friend of his was killed in a car accident last night.

oh Amanda I'm so sorry about this

We are heading down to ArtsFest in a little bit with his brother and Jen and Landen. It is down Harrisburg on the river, it is nice. So much to see.

Sounds very nice. I always like anything w/ a name like ArtsFest!

Been thinking about you & your predicament. Maybe it helps to try to remember that John would also rather it weren't this way. (Even tho he may not understand/realize it himself w/ that current mental landscape)

oh - NEW edict? they are mandating removal of nearly all the trees/ privets in the commune......................

Who ARE these androids??????

Oh! - and the other day, I explained poor poop cairns to Kissey - -

LOL poop cairn still cracks me up

Can we start a Gimme Back My Edit campaign?

Or maybe get the time limit pushed WAY out to a day instead of minutes?

It seems pretty ridiculous right now.

Lisa, you would not believe the experience I have had with erasers and things that are.. ..changing....needing to be erased.. ..rather a long story, but I'll simply say that if you just keep on erasing, trying to fix the changes, you'll end up with a big dark smudge. It is a profound life lesson, apparently.. .. .

EMILY! You MUST tell Leighsuh what this erasing was actually all about........tell her it was a NUDE male model........and things were constantly.......changing...........necessitating the erasing and re-drawing of.......a certain part............tell her! TELL HER!

Susie!! What is going on? This is bizarre.. . telephone numbers that will not dial.. .Won't register a "3", but instead, a "2".. ..

Hmmmm......The "3" is on the right side of the phone pad, is it NOT?! Gaaaaahhhh......

I dunno........the digit "3" transmugates into a "2" and dials this same woman every time, who isn't related to any women who clean houses, and is really annoyed wtih me..........

Whoop! There's a newbie name!! How long. .. . how long.. ..should be gone any sec now.....

Missed that one.......'tweren't here long

OR.....how quick can you come down with a serious illness?....(sympathy card)

...or amnesia....

...or a coma....

*snoooooooort* :lol: excellent.......but I"ve already called her this morning, and outed myself

OMG - I would NEVER clean her house...... I am highly accident-prone recently - very klutzy - and even if I weren't - OMG - could not do it.......she scares me.......her perfection level.........gads.......and she HATES trees and birds and the mess they make 'Tis heinous......she thinks trees should only be about 12 to 15 feet high, at best - and with no birds........ I don't understand this Clovis mentality - - but I truly don't belong here...

How cute is David in Weezie's head gear You two goofs are perphect for each other!

He is the goophiest thing of all, pseriously, and makes me laugh so hard I can't breathe!!!!! He makes maniacal faces and does the best dances I've ever seen - - if we're all together, ever, you all simply must request that he do what I"ve named the Scooter Shuffle......

Pattye, your weekend sounds lovely

Souseigh....forgot to mention your newest av......maybe you could just show Stepford that pic......sympathy card after all...("poor girl...I shouldn't have expected so much of her....she's already got her hands full")

*guffaw* OMG - another excellent idea

Sillies - - I ate Ball Park dogs last night - but they were Phat Phree - - which means - really no actual foodstuffs were in them, just chemicals............ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not pheeling well today at all Head is full of cotton balls........stomach a mess..........

where's Bev? Where's Julie? ohhhhhhhhh dear I fear Julie's not well, we haven't seen her in a while.........Bev - - she may be okay but - who knows - -

How long do we actually have right now? perhaps I can answer myself by putting forth an editing test.. . . Let's see - - misplaced preposition and dangling participle... ..

How big a hole did he fall into?

Having been planted in very poor soil, we moved the roses closer to the fence.

Okay, Add Reply!.....

.... . .. tick tick tick... ....

oh dear, I've quoted it, making it a permanent part of the Annals of Silly

*snort*

but those two sentences really did crack me up...........

Lyle's still mad about the intruders, but somehow it's no longer my fault.

Heeheehee

Is she suggesting some contorted boobie-dialing here????

where's Bev? Where's Julie? ohhhhhhhhh dear I fear Julie's not well, we haven't seen her in a while.........Bev - - she may be okay but - who knows - -

Haven't looked today, but Julie hasn't even been posting on OMG. Last post was a few days back and she was doing quite poorly. :(

Hmmm . ....is Boehv summonable??

BEVVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

[nikki-uk]

AH!!!!The Poop Cairns!!!...... ... I remember them well

The editing test and The Annals of silly

soaked it up like a lizard.........Nicola would probably feel the same........

I believe I would.....would also end up looking like very leathery methinks

love their noses, especially when they're warm and black (like my dead Cookster cat's)

....NO!!

Dead Cooksters nose is NOT warm (but may be black)

can I just sleep all day?

Look, if we're going to house swap you may as well do as I do...

start the beverages around 3 or 4.........

What kind??

Will there be snacks (chemical or otherwise)???

...or a coma....

I say go with the coma

Eat loads of crap food....fall into coma (see above comment )

How cute is David in Weezie's head gear You two goofs are perphect for each other!

Oh I know Patti!!

UTTER NUTTERS the pair of 'em

Looks more like the bat's using the pig.

(Wasn't the caption originally "squeal like Ned Beatty"?

Whaaaat?????

Yes!! Gimme back me edit campaign!!!!

I think Skaught will not allow any mistakes UNLESS they are spotted within a very small time frame (i.e only the rapid quick witted are allowed to Edit........the rest of us have to go down in the Annals of c.com)

transmugates

He is the goophiest thing of all, pseriously, and makes me laugh so hard I can't breathe!!!!!

I love that he does this Pseuzee!!!

Tel also is a goof....at the bbq on Sat I was laughing SO hard I had tears streaming down my face ........people were asking him what I was laughing at .....he made it worse by denying he even knew me

where's Bev? Where's Julie? ohhhhhhhhh dear I fear Julie's not well, we haven't seen her in a while.........Bev - - she may be okay but - who knows - -

YES! Where are they??...who's ill, who's not but just okay - who's out of town who's IN

ARGGGHHH!!!

<who keeps track of these fings?? >

Unfortunately, I usually don't notice until someone has quoted me saying "donned" or some such hanus thang . . . and then it's too late anyway as it is no longer in my control!!!

Having been planted in very poor soil, we moved the roses closer to the fence.

These look fine to me . . . what did you say was wrong with them??

[elye]

Is she suggesting some contorted boobie-dialing here????

Gad, what a picture........

Susie, I actually preferred your "poor" cairns...You know, voicing sympathy for these spontaneous natural sculptures...."Those poor cairns just kept piling up, being changed and extended".....

Yes, Julie! She has not been in Sillyville in many pages....

And where is our phunny Bev?........

[curlyfries]

.. ..rather a long story,

Oh really? .....Do tell.....!!!!!

[DingoGirl]

Oh my sillies, good news, and it's sad how excited I am - the cleaning ladies are next door, 'twill all be bright and shiny adn sterile when Stepford comes home...... (no different than before, really )

Is she suggesting some contorted boobie-dialing here????

insofar as I know, my wee boobies have not made any phone calls.

....NO!!

Dead Cooksters nose is NOT warm (but may be black)

Oh...right.....well, it was warm and black and so phabulous when she was here. Must scan and post photo of majestic dead cat, she was quite a corker, that one.

Look, if we're going to house swap you may as well do as I do...

hmmmmmmm........rethinking the swapping idea. I think, I'll come to Barking Mad and Dagenham for a week and snuggle on yer couch and eat all yer food, whilst you are THERE, and then you can come here w/ me and do the same. Oh - wait - we probably should take a trip to Yosemite er sumfin, I guess.

I love that he does this Pseuzee!!!

Tel also is a goof....at the bbq on Sat I was laughing SO hard I had tears streaming down my face ........people were asking him what I was laughing at .....he made it worse by denying he even knew me

well *I* love that Tel can do this fer you, Nik!!! goofballs, the both of youse.......

Susie, I actually preferred your "poor" cairns...You know, voicing sympathy for these spontaneous natural sculptures...."Those poor cairns just kept piling up, being changed and extended".....

All right, then, Poor Poop Cairns......now everyone can be happoeigh.

A belated silly birthday greeting for Nikki!!!!!! Hope your liver recovers

We were gone for a long weekend at another wedding---Nikki, I celebrated A LOT in honor of you .

[Darn210]

A holiday w/ rain - - since I no longer am climbing and requiring dry rocks - - I AM OUT OF MY MIND WITH GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shall have to pick yer brain about this once it is cottonball hotdog-chemical-free. I've started taking me girl to a (indoor) climbing club. She loves it. She's a natural climber. My son came to get me once because she needed help getting down off of the shelves. She was 2 1/2 and on the top shelf (she could touch the ceiling if she wanted). Climbing last week she went up to a perfect stranger (20-something male) told him her hands were sweaty and asked if she could use some of his chalk. This was him . . . . . . then . . . . . . and he said OK. Next time, she just helped herself to his chalk without asking. I guess I shall invest in a chalk bag for her so that she doesn't embarrass her mother to death.

This is excellent, Janet! What a great way to watch hot 20-something men, up high, muscles straining....jes' get yer kid involved in rock climbing! ...And bring no chalk.....

[elye]

Amanda! How are you doing? Saw you on here a minute ago... ..I forgot to say how sorry I am about John's good friend. This must be a tough time for you both.

[DingoGirl]

Am back from the store, mojitos (w/ cucumber slices) comign up toute suite...

I guess I shall invest in a chalk bag for her so that she doesn't embarrass her mother to death.

Janet, you got a climber girl! Yup, that was me. Um, do buy the poor girl a chalk bag.....yes......and, take her to the gym as often as possible.......such a good workout - w/ the added bonus, tires 'em out like crazy.

Okay.....now........what was it you wanted to pick my cotton brain about? A chalkbag? yes, get her that, w/ a chalk ball........shoes? not yet......harness? not yet......skills to meet men cute climber boys? sounds like she's got those down.... Oh, she's 7, you say? Well.....she can still practice

Am feeling inordinately clumsy/stupid/forgetful/dingobrained lately.......

This is excellent, Janet! What a great way to watch hot 20-something men, up high, muscles straining....jes' get yer kid involved in rock climbing! ...And bring no chalk.....

There's our Em, mind always in the gutter wig.....

Amanda - I also forgot to say how sorry I am about John's friend... Hope you guys were still able to have some fun today.

Now must squeeze the limes.......make the simple syrup..........cut/muddle the mint.........etc. So laboUr-intensive, I believe we'll be stopping at......one drink each.

Hi Laura!

[DingoGirl]

Morning, Sillies!

Well...got me a busy, running-around kind of afternoon today.. .taking me dad to the lab for more blood work, then my mother has several fan-f*ckin'-tastic errands through which I must negotiate her. The drug store (pu-leeeese, NO new products at her eye level about which she can exclaim, "Ho! Lookit that!! Now that is just....(you know)".. ... ..and then Chapters. Gad, I KNOW for a fact that there will be all sorts of fan-f*ckin'-tastic merchandise there.

Oh, gawwwwwddd... . I know that she'll have to ask for help.. ..

Just shiny things, please.. ..lots and lots of little shiny things....

Just one mojito last night, Susie? Yes, I think I'm with Nikki on this one. Ready-made fruity alcohol in a bottle. Easy peazy.. ...though absolutely NO territory fer us type ones...

Amanda! How are you feeling? I guess you guys must have a funeral to attend this week. I'm thinking about you.....

[blueeyedmanda]

Nikki I have forgot to mention Happy Belated Birthday!!!!!! How did you spend the day?

Morning Sillies! Back to work today....I wish I could say it is nice to be here, but I wish I was home. Since I had napped yesterday afternoon I had rough night getting to bed....and then I tossed and turned all night.

More later. Bye Sillies!

[jerseyangel]

Mornin' Sillies!

Not much goin' on here....cleaning up the house from the long weekend. Brain is tired, it's humid, got naught

Good morning afternoon!

That is an incredible amount of sugar in one place!

But, is it gluten-free? Inquiring minds want to know.

OMG!

Did you see "The Worst Summer Cocktail"? They said it is Pina Colata, but that the mo-hee-to is a much better choice! Thought that would be some good news for the Kisseys
