[Green12]

When my mom was "forced" to tell me what a period was (Are You There God? It's me Margaret ) she figure she'd throw in sex. I took one look at her (I think I was ten) and screamed "Ahhhhh...you do that would dad?" Ran and hid in my room :ph34r:

saw a book in bookstore window Are You there, vodka? Iit's me, Chelsea. Clearly a must-read as it is not on Oprah's Booklist (yet)!!!!!!!!

Judy Blume books were the bomb!

Raving hand-waving hair-pulling screaming Jess here.

Those ignorant annoying self righteous 'you shouldn't do this because I think it's wrong' anti-medicine anti-pharmaceutical blathering idiots who dose themselves with hundreds of dollars worth of untested unproven ground up plants because some minimally educated, yet also anti-pharmaceutical, leech has convinced them that they should should not be allowed to post anything health related.

Very well said! I was attempting to come out of hiding when I happened upon (okay . . . willing looked against my better judgment) the thread which I believe caused your page stretching scream and I think I am outta here again. What's the point of contending with people who believe they are so smart that they somehow understand how a DEAD virus could make them sick. Somebody get these people a scholarship to MIT. I'm sure the experts in virology could use some help in coming up with an HIV vaccine. Oh that's right . . . vaccines are much more dangerous than any of the illnesses they protect against . . . how could I forget.

Doncha think that maybe you are a living tribute to how great a mom she was?

Gulp . I don't think I'll ever be a good enough living tribute to my mom. Exhibit A being what I just posted above. Anger, sarcasm, lack of compassion -- not exactly the mark of a well raised kid. My mom embodied patience, understanding, and compassion; I don't know why I'm so lacking in those virtues. Maybe I just need to grow up a little more . . . I dunno . . .

Sorry for all this very unfunny, unSillyness. Please feel free to ignore this yucky, party pooper post. I will try to stay away til I'm more centred and less pissed with all of the BS that gets posted by occasion around the board. Ugh, I wish I could get a break from myself while I'm in such a foul mood.

[Judyin Philly]

AH Alex, that's what the silly's are all about

EXCAPE FROM ALL THAT CR@P.............

i'M JUST STAYING AWAY FROM THOSE THREADS AFTER 3 YEARS I STILL SOMETIMES GET SUCKED IN.........AND THEN HATE MYSELF FOR BEING SO STUPID

I've learned i can't change them ............only the way i react to them.

Think Patti has that quote from someone in her signiture.

hang in there

just wondering how a thread on places in Maine could go awry ?? what in hell what did it say?

halloooo everybody :weaksmile:

I think I went off my Wellbutrin too quickly. Um, well, actually it was cold turkey. Yeah. Hence, I feel like utter crap - yesterday and today - rather physically ill. I *did* take half a tablet on Friday, but this is entirely the incorrect dosage and method of weaning. took half a pill today also. feel wretched.

Alex........give yourself some slack, honey. You're human, it's okay to get irritated. um, what's this about a dead virus?

and hello to all other silly friends. got nowt here, heading to bed....and can't remember a single thing I wanted to address. Oh, probably because I read it all houuuuuuurs ago.

Was it Sarah that got so sick? can't remember.....Janet has one shaved leg? well, one is better than none...and, we have a new silly! Oh, and I'm selling pet food to Em's brother whilst working at Peter's store......perfect!

I want to tell all sillies to NEVER venture to other threads but, I do find it too entertaining seeing the comments here about the cold, cruel world out there.....along w/ screen-stretching screams. Links to said threads are always welcome as well.

Night-night, wub you all.

[johnsmom]

Hi johnsmom- nice to "meet" you. I lost my mom five years ago- still want her everyday!!!!!!!

thanks for the welcome aboard.. nice meeting you too. ditto on the still miss her everyday

i saw james earl jones interviewed once about this movie and he said a characters likness

wAS a tribut to his mom and he started to tear up and he said... " ..oh ....no.... you'd thiink i'd be ..... kinda healed ...but you never heal that one it's been like 17 years since she passed... "

so if it takes a big guy like james earle jones ( voice of darth vador) more than 17 years to be able to talk openly about the loss of his mum... i got lots more time.......

Are-You-There-Vodka-Chelsea

looks like a good read and today is my trip to borders day so i just might start reading that next...

i'll tell ya if you are stuck for what to read next....

both 3weeks with my brother....and water for elephants ....were EXEC-LENT--EE reads....the kind you savor like a good meal,,..... i just may read them agan in 5 years.. that good. and i usually never want to re-read anything....

i always liked this quote by lilly tomlin ...she was doing edith -ann on sat night live and she said " when i think god is watchng i sing and dance and look up... doing a little commercial for myself"

[johnsmom]

this was the thread but it's gone now........whew........... thanks Laura who watches over us.

gone ! yes ! ALL GoNe ( insert a foot stompping noise) i wanted to see it....and only 3 posts showing now bummer .. i missed it ..next time when somebody acts up tell me quicker... i'd love to spank um .. can you really get paid to moderate.. i do it for a living but we call it department supervisors...

... or stup-er-vizers for fun.

[curlyfries]

... thats o.k. my mums been gone 4 years july 14th and on the anniversary of her passing we still muse about doing something more ......

I lost my mom five years ago- still want her everyday!!!!!!!

Last Fri was the 8th anniversary of my mom's death.............can't help but wonder if she had celiac. Almost lost her many years earlier when I was a kid.......had a busted appendix for 9 days before going to the hospital. I remember she said she just thought it was something she ate. Makes sense that if food was already making her sick, another tummy ache wouldn't have caused her alarm. And she was the kind of person to never let on if she didn't feel good. And that's why colon cancer took her so quickly.

So I thought, even though it's a simple sign, it would be fitting if the sign of the day were......

MOM

Hold hand with all fingers spread, like the number 5, and tap your thumb on your chin

........and since i missed yesterday........here's one to go along with it.........

I love you

With palm facing forward, hold up your thumb, index finger, and pinkie........the other 2 fingers are down. This is a combination of the letters I, L and Y

Bev is home!!!!! How could you be gone so long and not call (post)? You're off having a wonderful time, not giving a second thought to your family here in Sillyville I see how it is!

Jess soon to be on the *Janet vacation*!!!

Why is it I always feel I have to read Jo's posts fast? She's like a runaway freight train!!!!! I bet when she talks, she barely takes time to take a breath

Went to bed early last night and missed the scandalous Bev vacation thread........who's gonna spill the beans?.............inquiring minds want to know

Susie.........I worry about you going off your meds without a doctors care That's serious business you shouldn't be trying to do on your own.

Very stormy this morning.......Zeus refuses to go out.........I swear that dog has a bladder the size of a grapefruit!!!

[curlyfries]

i always liked this quote by lilly tomlin ...she was doing edith -ann on sat night live and she said " when i think god is watchng i sing and dance and look up... doing a little commercial for myself"

Gotta love Lilly Tomlin!!! When I was in high school, I did a skit for the talent show..doing Edith Ann......I even had the big chair! At that time, my mom had just had a baby, and our dog had puppies........so I wrote my script about knowing where babies come from

Morning, Sillies!

Another running-about, hither and yon day up here. Taking Jack for his first two-hour tennis lesson this am, and Sophie to her hockey camp (yep, serious Canuck kids do it all year - - quite an odd thing, standing in an arena, shivering and pulling a jacket over myself, while it is 90 sweltering degrees just outside the doors)......

wait- HOLD IT HOLD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did I miss? Drama? Please to tell Bubba for she is confused

just wondering how a thread on places in Maine could go awry ?? what in hell what did it say?

Yes, I second all this! Very confuzzling, last night's back-and-forths about a mysterious newbie thread, Bev's Maine musings gone awry, the dangers of dead viruses..... . . .

Went frantically trying to find all of these entertainting nuggets, to no avail. I DO think that I need to get out more - - perhaps I've simply forgotten how to find other threads!

Anger, sarcasm, lack of compassion -- not exactly the mark of a well raised kid. My mom embodied patience, understanding, and compassion; I don't know why I'm so lacking in those virtues. Maybe I just need to grow up a little more . . . I dunno . . .

Alex! You are such a together, mature, phunee, great woman - - it shines through in everything you post. Nobody is more patient, understanding and compassionate than you are as a sister; of this we are all certain... .. and it sounds like you have a terrific marriage, which commands all of these qualities!

You're too hard on thyself! Great stuff, you got.

i'll tell ya if you are stuck for what to read next....

Well, Judy Blume has been recently brought up, and I'd bet that virtually ALL of us women have had part of our adolescent lives touched by her. I'm sure I read everything she put out, including her two adult novels, Wifey and Summer Sisters. As a kid, my favorites were Deenie and Forever. Such heroines for a girl to be exposed to! (Ha! Haven't had my second cup of tea and it's still too early, obviously....cannot get my mind around the reconfiguring of that sentence to move the preposition into its proper middle position...).. . . ..

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies!

Another day here. Yesterday wasn't too bad though. We are expecting some very nasty storms later...and for once I remember to shut down and unplug my computer @ home. I had one fry once even though it was on a surge protector...not having that again!

[jerseyangel]

Mornin' Sillies

Won't be long and the leaves will be changing colors and phallen!

Shortly after we moved into our previous home, lightening hit the side of the house and blew out our modem

I smelled smoke, so I called 911 and we had to evacuate the house until the firemen went in and looked around. I remember grabbing my purse and Allo--Matt and I put him in the car and we stood in the rian waiting for them to let us back in.

Wow--thats scary.

A few weeks ago, I was laying on the couch and we have the upstairs apartment so ours has enclosed balcony. Well it was about 10 at night and John was standing by our breakfast bar. I smelt smoke. So I sat up and asked him if he turned the stove on and was cooking. He said no but I got up to look anyway. I didn't smell anything. I walked back over and where I was laying my lap top was there and once again I smelt the smoke and it was like an electrical burning type smell...so I quick unplugged the computer and was worried it was the plug...but that plug is on one of those reset things so if it gets hot it turns off....so then I went outside. the smell was strong there but I couldn't see any smoke. I started yelling for Jen and she came out....we couldn't find anything....and eventually the smell went away. But I was paniced for quite some time...fire scares me!

[jerseyangel]

But I was paniced for quite some time...fire scares me!

Me too.

Out here where we live now, it's legal to burn leaves and twigs and stuff in your yard. Having never lived where this was ok, it's strange to sometimes wake up to the smell of a fire when a neighbor up the street (retired) is burning--which he seem do do quite often....methinks he burns his junk mail

It's enough in the distance that I don't immediately think there's anything wrong here, but it's definately something I have to get used to.

[blueeyedmanda]

I know the burning of leaves and such is allowed up by my mom's area. Unless they have a burn ban for a drought. I am not sure if it is allowed in my area since where we are here, they put the leave piles on the sides of the streets and the town picks it up and takes it away. It is good and bad. The bad is cars purposely drive through and scatter the leaves everywhere....

So my sister Tammy is in Italy and doing well, Silvia is enjoying her relatives, this is the first time meeting the grandparents and they love her.

My other sister Carrie, went on her first date last night since the break-up of her 4 yr relationship. That ended in June. She really enjoyed herself and said the guy was a real gentleman....I am happy for her.

[jerseyangel]

Amanda--It's nice to hear that your sisters are doing well and are happy!

[elye]

Hey, Patti and Amanda! Just you two..... . .. a quiet morn here. Whassup wif everyone else? I was just thinking that Jo is what......6 hours behind us? So she is still sleeping. I wonder if her brain turns off while she sleeps, or if it keeps chugging away - - gotta be on yer toes to keep up with her phunnee thoughts!

Fires.....never had one here, or in the neighboUrhood, thank gawd, but Will is an insurance adjuster and examines many houses in the aftermath of a big fire. A lot of it is arson, but the second most common cause is leaving pots on the stove (DUH!!! ), followed by careless smoking and candles being forgotten. Often not a happy line of work, I must say.....

And VERY unsilly, to boot!! On to o9ther things.....

Just posted a thread on a FASCINATING interview with the incredible Dr. Simoncini in Italy, and the work he's done with cancer and candida. Worth watching!

At least you're getting mad at people promoting stupidity and ignorance. And some people are just beyond patience...

Sometimes the best thing you can do is walk away.
