yes, thank GOD i found the 'sillies'

it's really scary out there.

as Patti knows..........i usually don't start a thread anymore b/c theY always go bad and I'm such a nice lady BUT I DO HAVE MY LIMITS.

MUST REMEMBER NOT TO SCREAM THO

LOVE YOU ALL

JUDY

Judy, you can still scream . . . just remember to do it in three or four short bursts and not one long yell!! Several four-letter words strung together won't screw up the screen width . . . go ahead, give it a try!!

I am at the point where from watching him I do not want children of my own at all, and that has always been my biggest dream. Its crazy!

You gotta do what you gotta do. If watching Landen is not benifitting your life somehow and only adding stress/distress, then it's time for changes. And believe me when I say, it is totally different when it's your own kids and you get to set the rules/boundaries/expectations.

OK, my body clock is screwed up . . . snoozing through the day and up at night. It's 10:30 here and everyone else has gone to bed (they had a busy day). I of course am wide awake . . . would be anyway, I rarely get to bed before 11:30, but I can tell I'm going to be up tonight. Last night I slept from about 1 until 3 and then from 5 till 7. So perhaps I should look for Judy and Patti tonight when I can't sleep.

Jess - I also wanted to add how unbelievable I think you are with your words of wisdom . . . you say it sooooo well . . . whatever it is that needs to be said!!

Sarah - did your mom post on your "victory" thread???

This is exactly what I was going to say, Amanda. It sounds like you and Landen's mom need to have a talk

[Judyin Philly]

The thing is if it was my own kid and they were crying all night and wouldn't go to bed it would be different....

Your so right on that one. Totally different. We made um we gota tame um

loved this too --forget who wrote it.'' my stupid way of quoting.

Sarah--

Is that your mom posting over on your thread?

[Jestgar]

:o Was that your Mom!! I wondered who was being so snuggly with you! I thought maybe a case of mistaken identity.

[Jestgar]

I know. I always suspected that the moms with perfect kids were lying... Or else all that sleep deprivation just makes everything seem far more pleasant than it really is.

[curlyfries]

Welcome back, Janet......glad everything is going well.

Jess......you wandered away from here again............you know the neighbors don't always play nice

Amanda.......change is good.......I think you've gone over your quota of good deeds.......time to do what's best for you for a change

Lots of serious talk, lately..........harder to pick a word today.

Sooooo..........this one's for you, Souzzle

Sign for the day:

That's what strength is, cutie-pie.

Strength......also used for strong

With both hands cupped, touch all ten fingertips to upper chest. As you pull both hands away (forward), clench them into fists.

I am Woman, hear me roar....

I don't know why, but that sign just made me feel like singing that...........

I don't think you sillies are ready for that one, yet

:tryingtosoundlikeallknowingteacher:

True story.........

There once was a guest pastor who was amused with having an interpreter for the deaf. He would get distracted seeing the interpreter sign everything he said and decided to have a little fun. Somehow he managed to mention supercala-fragilistic-expiala-docious (sp) and repeated it several times during the sermon, getting a big chuckle out of watching the interpreter's fingers flying ...............I don't think she was too amused

[curlyfries]

Speaking of interpreters......it reminded me of this......

Right before the start of this video, the comment was made that there had been a sign language interpreter at a previous performance.......

My ability to speak (type?) like a normal human being is severely restricted when I'm miffed. Can anyone explain why I can't use small words when I'm highly emotional?

(And can any of you imagine how uninspiring this is when in the height of a passionate encounter... My idea of 'talking dirty' doesn't involve anything less than three syllables.)

Yeah, but if you scream like THAT, all should be forgiven.

My mom posted on my thread! She comes around and reads every so often, but that was her first post.

Gawwwwd you guys, I dunno what I ate, but I feel like I'm gonna die. Like, bookshelves in the bathroom don't even matter at this point, because I can't read and writhe at the same time. Blech...

[johnsmom]

It's by Sugarland (love them!)

Here's a video--oh, and welcome to Sillyville! Emily is wonderful, really, don't be afraid of her.....

OMG......lack of sleep just makes my kids' misdemeanors SOOOO much worse......

me too i AM SO gLAD I FOUND THE SILLIES....

Johnsmom! Glad you're back! It's great to hear that there are newbies who stumble upon our discourse of madness and find it a respite of sorts.... . .ya see, a lot of 'em scurry away after reading a page or two..... . . .. it serves as a good filter system, really..... . ..

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies...I woke up with the worst stomach cramps. Probably from all the non-healthy junk I had while away.

Another reason I have about the baby sitting thing is both John and I work full-time jobs and the stress of both of them esp. mine is growing, we need those weekends off!

[nikki-uk]

My mom posted on my thread! She comes around and reads every so often, but that was her first post.

AWW!!!!!!.......your Mum!!!.....so proud!!

Yep, ..and mind bending drugs ....joking!!! .......gaaawd you don't half get alot of gas wiv them 'silly beans'

Has anyone mentioned that we like to do 'phart charts' (we also like to spell differently )

Amanda!!

I always say 'I only put up with my kids 'cos they are mine'

Couldn't be arsed wiv anyone elses

M et al ...have a good day!!!!!

.............Gotta clear up the aftermath of Sunday lunch (roast lamb ) and then more of that curiously English chore of ironing

[jerseyangel]

Aw Nik is succumbing to the dreaded ironing again!! Don't work too hard, hun--Gawd, you're cleaning up from dinner and I'm just getting up!

Amanda...you're right. With a full time job, a marriage and all that goes with maintaining your home you deserve to have your free time. You're still on the "honeymoon" with John--the time before you have yer own kids.....you want to enjoy that because when you two do have children everything changes.

Sarah--feel better Did yer mom take a peek into Sillyville?

Johnsmom--glad you liked the videos! Hope you stick around

Em--sounds like a lovely day shaping up fer youse! Have phun

Lisa and the signing story

It's looking like a nice day here--the humidity that has had us in it's grasp is gone (for now anyway ) and it's a cool and crisp 66 right now Gotta open me some winders!

[Judyin Philly]

Morning sillies.................

Ok take a gander at my solution of 'quoting'

You just steal a post from someone else and copy it and change it. Thanks Patti............

God it is beautiful here today and it's 10:39 didn't get up till 9:30 hate these dame 'mid-nite' pills but will be over Wed If i'm LUCKY.

tHE LEG does look better today thank God. Haven't written (I don't think) that celluitius came back on Wed after the chills and fever on Monday nite.

I know it's the gardening............but hell what a price to pay but..............let's picture this...........

''''leg up above shoulders...........and finishing potting up me plants on the deck today........any ideas.......? maybe a hammock........? probably this is a lady who tripped over her wheelbarrow head first.

Well all you brilliant minds .............. figure it out.

i am going to soak in the tube and MLD while in there............at least i have a bar gripper to prop me leg up on..........now that's a mental picture we don't want either........... TO much info ..........I know

ok here we go to steal some stuff from Patti.....but she 'shares' good.......... why do my attempts at humor look like i have poor English and gramar? course with the spelling helped disabled i'm at a real loss...............

Aw Nik is succumbing to the dreaded ironing again!! Don't work too hard, hun--Gawd, you're cleaning up from dinner and I'm just getting up!

Why does Nik Iron

Amanda...you're right. With a full time job, a marriage and all that goes with maintaining your home you deserve to have your free time. You're still on

the "honeymoon" with John--the time before you have yer own kids.....you want to enjoy that because when you two do have children everything changes.

Please don't feel quilty........you deserve this but NOT BEING SICK. YOU AND SARAH GET BETTER SOON YOU HEAR ME

Sarah--feel better

Johnsmom-- Hope you stick around

I phorgot to comment on this before, Amanda......I'm with everyone on this situation. You need to be with John right now, while you are just a twosome....relish this time, because as Patti says, it changes forever once you have your first baby, and you'll never be just the two of you again! You're absolutely right, you do NOT need to be weighed down by another person's less-than-stellar parenting practices. In fact, it's likely the very last thing you need. There is NOTHING selfish about feeling this way.

Landen has been so lucky to have had you two as much as he has!

Now, this Jen.....

Were you saying that she will no longer consider you a friend if you cannot mind Landen regularly anymore? I must have misunderstood this...... . ..I cannot imagine anyone taking such a childish, selfish stance. I DO hope this is not the case......

AWW!!!!!!.......your Mum!!!.....so proud!!

Sarah! YES! I must head over and read yer mom!

Take care o' that tummy,..........

Has anyone mentioned that we like to do 'phart charts' (we also like to spell differently )

Yes, Johnsmom.......Nik speaks the truth. You must record the number of times you pass gas a day for five days, calculate the average, and then report it in a post here afterward.

Just one of the criteria we need to keep on file in the Official Sillyville Archives.... . ..

Is this to give you something to strive towards? Or reminisce over the good ol' days?

Dunno....... . ..I think we Canucks are forever striving for something....... . .The Journey Toward Being Civilzed.... . sounds quite Canadian.

What in hell?

Hey! Was that Lisa??! Showing us the next words, now sayings, in ASL?!

3 kinds of fushia's that will winter over in my sunny window.

And just in case it ever comes up...

Jess...I love these. have you linked other ones to watch or just 'verbally' explained them? Saw those but will have to google this last ASL for videos.

Judy

[jerseyangel]

''''leg up above shoulders...........

Well now..... .....

Don't reckon I could GET me leg above me shoulder....must try sometime

Hee--I just came in from re-potting some plants, reworking the window boxes and generally sprucing up the porches. Can't stand working outside whilst it's humid, so lots of things needed doing.

Worked up a sweat, though--must shower.....be back later
