Well handled over there in Gluteneaseland, Sarah! High fives to you. Things are currently rather tense over there....shall I post a question about whether the product could help my dog's full anal glands, er sumfin?

Prob'ly get a warning............

Yes sillies I can be a little gutter girl (mind in the gutter) The board is acting funny tonight and I cant get mine fixed...I do hope it gets fixed soon.

OMG did I tell you about my one coworker who sits next to me? about a month ago she blurted out her salary and it was well more than the rest of us was making and the catch is she is a secretary. Anyhoo she barely does any of her assigned work, she spends most of the day on the phone or doing her bills and things for her 3 grown adult kids.....today she disappeared for almost an hour visiting a friend who works on the 6th floor, and then came back and spent the remaining hour of the afternoon on the phone giving her 25 yr old son love advice which I think is strange....a few of us have complained to my boss but she sees nothing wrong with it. To make it worse.....we are good friends with her and now that you know her salary it makes thing even more obnoxious....ugh! the drama of my office!

Thanks! It helps that no one heard all the affronted mutterings under the breath while I typed away...

That person in the GlutenEase thread actually copped a snarky 'tude with me.

Yeah she served up a round of snarksicles alright . .. .hehe

I start to think I'll post there, then realize I can't make it sound right.

Well done Sairuh.

I did go read the thread....Sarah she is rude! I did post in that thread a lil clinical trials background....they will probably jump all over me for it.

Amazingly simple home remedies

1. If you're choking on an ice cube, simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself.

2. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold the vegetables while you chop.

3. Avoid arguments about lifting the toilet seat with the female members of your household by using the sink instead.

4. For high blood pressure sufferers - simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure on your veins. Remember to use a timer.

5. A mouse trap placed on top of your alarm clock will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you'll be afraid to cough.

7. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

8. If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

And I suggest you go back and read the first few pages, maybe you need a refresher on bashing, because there was definitely name calling, and bashing going on. Closed minds are just that, closed. Exploring things only makes us more informed, no body is forcing anyone to take anything.

AND little missy, if you disagree with her then YOU are on of the close-minded sheep NOT taking this wonder drug.

They're in Kenya. The wife, Michelle, used to work in the lab next to mine. Extremely nice person, but not overly given to oddness. I've never met the husband, but he is NOT what I expected her to be married to. It would be like Ursa being married to a combination of persons on this forum...

Gawd--we had to run out for a little while, and I came back to drama Sarah, you are a brave soul with a ton of restraint The other night I posted to Alex that many times I'd like to comment on things but don't dare. I'd get too upset and I hate getting into arguments.

I remember one time, I got me butt reamed--but good--for somephin' I said on the subject of communion wafers.....never again

You guys are too phunny with all the commentary

Me buttons were all back in place when I got back, too, so that's good

I think the print screen helped explain what others were seeing. Within 5 minutes of sending it, all was resolved.

Patti - I think we have all learned that lesson, one too many times. I do remember those threads

I think Scaught just considers Laura computer-savy and the rest of us are not . . . we just didn't know what we were doing . . . but if it didn't work for Laura, then something must have been wrong. We call that being the teacher's board administrator's pet.

Carla . . . . . . on the home remedies. But THIS one . . .

Patti! Mygawd, someone was messin' with yer buttons?! Where exactly did you you run out to?

[happygirl]

After being called "board administrator's pet," I have severe emotional scarring.

I'll now need to be seen by the board's counselor.

Patti, are you available to help?

Come on in and tell me all about it

Hee--that reminds me of the Seinfield episode where Jerry goes to the dentist, is put under for a procedure, and wakes up with his shirt all untucked

You might want to dig around the yard just in case Weezee buried some negotiable securities, matured bonds or Krugerrands.

My great-grandma used to bury her money in the backyard........she didn't trust banks.

Crap-ola!!!!! I lost the other quotes!.........stay tuned..........

Lisa, can you explain to me how I can unfurl the garden hose when I pull it out to water the plants and NOT have it all tangle up, so that I don't have to walk all the way back over and UNtangle it?

Sounds like a problem for me hubby. If you were to ask HIM, he would tell you that the trick is not in the UNfurling, but rather the FURLING of the hose <It's a poifektly good word, so leave it alone >....DH is a stickler for how a hose should be wound....that also goes for extension cords, ropes,.....

  nikki-uk said:

OMG LIsa!!!!!!!!!

I'm totally loving your self explanatory signs!!!!!!!!

....but WAIT!!..........there is someone who I can try these out on!!!

......one of the evil pheral pharkwits is deaf (remember them???, the gang of teens causing trouble in my street)

...will he understand me???....Is ASL different to BSL (that's British Sign language NOT the other words that BS are associated with )

Maybe Lisa could teach me

''Kindly bog off to yer own street'' (maybe with more profanities ? )

I do believe BSL is different, but there is probably enough similarities that he would get the drift.......although I'm sure we don't have a sign for *bog off* ........or were you wanting something a little stronger? ..............I know how to call him a peabrain ....................not strong enough, huh?

Wow, another beautiful day shaping up here, today...

A heads-up: I am heading over to the home of one of our Gang of Four this afternoon, the ones with whom I loll about in hot tubs and drink champagne through the lunch hour. Today we're going to be sitting around a gorgeous pool with unbelievably landscaped grounds bursting with flowers, bonsai and vinery. So, who knows what my posts will contain afterward.......

Gaaaaaahhh.....Something else to niggle at my brain......for, like the words "ravel" and "unravel", I believe "furl" and "unfurl" are in fact synonyms. This happens rarely in our confounding language, an opposing prefix adding nothing to the meaning of its root word, but there you are.......not certain on this one.

Now isn't that just fascinating??

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm......Furl?
