The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[flourgirl]

Hi everybody! I am here, afterall. No, you didn't ditch me.

Had a hurk of a day today. It actually got cold enough for the last of the rain to freeze (on the deck and on the grass at least). I decided to walk out to get the paper by way of the back door. I stepped out onto the deck, enjoyed watching the birdies feeding and bathing in the waterfall. Then proceeded to play slinky down the stairs....flexible flyer without the snowbank and without the sled....arse over teakettle and all of that. It's fun to watch a slinky but not to be one. Once I got over feeling all shook up (not Elvis style) I decided I was fine and probably would live another day. However.....many sore spots, joints achy more than usual, and one knee that definitely looks melon-like.....big and round.

Went on to have a fairly normal day otherwise. Church was nice, started the crockpot, made bread. Am so glad I didn't have to work today. I normally do on Sundays.

We're about to get a cold snap for the next day or two....teen predicted over night. Then back to better temps. Still too cold for me when it's "normal". Guess I should have moved even further south!

Anyway....am loving the posts.....adore the elfing yourself!!!! So clever! Carry on all...I'll be back

[jerseyangel]

When I came back there were frantic kitty prints pacing around all the doors, so I called him. Lyle shows up, well past mad, thoroughly into 'Thank God' and waddles inside.

Poor little Lylesicle

[elye]

Tureeeesah! Gawd, glad to hear you're okay .. . . ...

Watch for bruises.....you'll need to report to us any resemblance to famous effigies....Michael Jackson, The Hoff, perhaps Oprah. . . .. . ...

Put some snow pics on Spacebook. I realize 90% of you will look and them and think "Your excited about THIS??" but hey, this never happens here. I can't even remember the last time we had more than 2 inches of snow.

[Jestgar]

Poor little Lylesicle

:lol:

Maybe he'll decide to stay inside now.

Poor boy is completely sacked out on my bed. At least he was kind enough to curl up on the towels I put down for him.

[DingoGirl]

Oh Lemon Squeezee Did she eat yer crispy tree? Some ornaments perhaps??

I am starting to think that the Sassy Face is also used when she's just plain mad at me for leaving her. we are RARELY apart.....'tis wildly dysfunctional She has not snacked on any part of the tree, nor scavenged through any trash.....nor left a phecal nugget anywhere.

BTW I have posted new photos of her very animated face on the 'book

JULES!!!!!!!!! I shall STEAL Nik's tiger pig and LOUNGE about yer divan and eat snacks and drink tea and we will all watch English Christmas movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I not just say this very thing last week?!?!?! Lisa's toaster broke down and then with all of Nikki's electrical/mechanical situations over there...I dunno, it's not of a phluid nature any more

you DID say it! I KNEW I heard it somewhere!

the setups.......well, one's a swim coach and wine rep, the other (the hottie that I've known before) is a physical therapist.......but - - he really IS damaged and 'tis not time......

I am not concerned and not really putting much thought into this......have asked God to work out all details. My young neighbor and his wife told me about the swim coach in August or September, for Pete's sake, and I have delayed the meeting all this time......

You need to meet my brother, dammit!!

Here's an old email I found from him that he sent this past March (obviously was around Easter - - should change it to a Christmas theme):

How to Have an Easter Egg Hunt in Solitary Confinement

Send him down, how many times do I have to tell ya?????????????????? :wink:

solitary confinement easter egg hunt *snicker*

OMG. . . . keep an eye on Weezie's poops, Sooooze. . . . you may suddenly see a li'l snowman's or angel's face staring up at you from the midst of it all. . . . . ..

'tis true!

I went to a party down the street, leaving Lyle outside. When I came back there were frantic kitty prints pacing around all the doors, so I called him. Lyle shows up, well past mad, thoroughly into 'Thank God' and waddles inside. So I look to see why he's waddling and the poor boy has about a pound of ice balls stuck all over his tummy!

well past mad and thoroughly into Thank GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor little Lylesicle - thawing out on Jess's bed!!!!!!!!!!!! oh, the TRAUMA of snow-matted phur!!!!!!!

Our youngest cat, Riley, loves to go outside on the deck at the rear of the house. She sits by the sliding door and cries plaintively to be let out. Well, there is a good phoot of snaux on the deck. Today, Jacquie acquiesced to her plaints and opened the door. She didn't know what to make of the snaux. She looked at it, but did not venture out. Nevertheless, I expect that tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that, she will again be at the door whining to be let out.

Nikki, we have a spare kettle you can borrow. It is electric, something our American friends just won't get. Drop by, ring the bell, and we'll let you have it.

Em, that is a marvelous happening.

A quiet day here. We made the staff work so we could stay home and rest catch up on housework (J) and bookkeeping and other paperwork (P). Back into the storm store tomorrow, with full days Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The store will be closed on the 25th and 26th.

More snaux coming on Tuesday and Wednesday. Bah.

[jerseyangel]

Weezie's Sassy phace!

Last night, Suzanne Somers was on Larry King.......I phell asleep and woke up to the last 15 minutes or so of it....and in me sleepy haze I swear I heard her mention Julie Could it be????

Yes! I think she mentioned tripping over something in her dressing room, and the bruise that is currently forming near her ankle looks remarkably like Jooolie's face . . . .. . . . .

[flourgirl]

Good morning everyone!!!! All of your stories of snaux make me appreciate where I am all the more. Until 2 years ago we lived in the Adirondacks in Upstate NY. They are having lots of nassssty snaux and cold weather, too! Most of my family is still there, so I get reports. Don't miss it atall, nope.

Broozes are being ignored as much as possible. Even if they were exact images of Michal Jackson, I'd never admit it !!! Been wearing a brace on the knee to keep it stable. I'm a tad concerned about a popping/clicking sensation when I walk. I'll stew on that for a while, hoping I don't need to do anything about it.

Going for a mamogram this afternoon Hate it, hate it. Then again, I don't know anyone who enjoys it. Think I'll practice slamming myself in the doorway.....or maybe I'll be so frozen I won't feel it. One can only hope.

Anyway, hope you are coping all right with this winter madness.....no power outs, plenty of gluten-free food, no more hairy ice-balls! 'till later

[DingoGirl]

Nikki, we have a spare kettle you can borrow. It is electric, something our American friends just won't get. Drop by, ring the bell, and we'll let you have it.

I have heard of them, these electric kettles...think me dad had one at his office....but you're right, we don't get it!

Lots of snaux, Peter, and lots of work.....pray you have hundreds of wealthy customers who want to pamper their pets!!

Awwwwww.........me very phirst 'where is Leesah'! ..........warms the cockles of me 'eart!

WHAT? how could we? Well this must mean that you haven't been absent for more than two days? you usually DO check in in the eves, you silly

MIL's flight touches down at 7:25 pm this evening.

Um, there isn't an emoticon available to catch the phlurry of emotions crossing me phace at this moment.....and over the next fifteen days . . .. . . . .. ...

gahhhhhhh! the North Umberland Wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, as Paddeigh suggested, check in often in Sillyville.....drink more......and, much soaking in the tub, methinks.....

Oh! I have an idea for a fun project!!! hide the crutch tip in strange places repeatedly for her. First, in her bed......she'll bring it out to you, with the disquietingly casual remark: "I found this in my bed, what does it mean?" and then.......in her suitcase, her bath, on the seat of the car before she gets in, pocket of her coat.......finally, her coffee.........it'll be fun!!!!!! *SNACKLE*

But really Em - - don't bring Man Head over during her stay and put him by her bed at night. That would NOT be nice.

psillies . . . have been over-indulging in the cookies . . . might be my barfday today.

same with marshmallows here

JUDITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birfday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leesah! There you are

And hey, I have an electric tea kettle!!

I wanna come!!! No kids nor big, noisy dogs, plenty of blankies, tea and munchies. . . . .OMG....I am there..... .. .

JULES!!!!!!!!! I shall STEAL Nik's tiger pig and LOUNGE about yer divan and eat snacks and drink tea and we will all watch English Christmas movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone come!!!! I have a big comfy couch divan, a big screen telly, tiger pig's to go all around, snacks and drinks! It would be GRAND!!

Put some snow pics on Spacebook. I realize 90% of you will look and them and think "Your excited about THIS??" but hey, this never happens here. I can't even remember the last time we had more than 2 inches of snow.

Jess, I love yer pictures and it is very exciting!!! And even more magical that a winter wonderland came to a place that doesn't usually get such a thing.

the setups.......well, one's a swim coach and wine rep, the other (the hottie that I've known before) is a physical therapist.......but - - he really IS damaged and 'tis not time......

I am not concerned and not really putting much thought into this......have asked God to work out all details. My young neighbor and his wife told me about the swim coach in August or September, for Pete's sake, and I have delayed the meeting all this time......

Did you say swim coach?!?!? Nice. I could totally prep you on the world of swimming

I say go out and just have fun with it, and you are right let everything fall where it may

Last night, Suzanne Somers was on Larry King.......I phell asleep and woke up to the last 15 minutes or so of it....and in me sleepy haze I swear I heard her mention Julie Could it be????

Oh dear gawd, NOOOO! ....cannot get away from that woman

Sillies can you believe tis Christmas this week?!?!? Is everyone ready?

[elye]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOOOOOOODEEEEE!!!

Going for a mamogram this afternoon Hate it, hate it. Then again, I don't know anyone who enjoys it. Think I'll practice slamming myself in the doorway.....or maybe I'll be so frozen I won't feel it.

I've an idea, Tuhreeesah. You're on the right track with the frozen idea - - you really will not feel anything if yer boobs are frozen...... . .Might I suggest standing outside the medical clinic, just before your appointment, and opening your coat, lifting up your sweater and bra, and letting them be completely exposed for, say, three or four minutes. You will be numb for an hour, perhaps, and will feel no discomfort from the squishing plates.

Yes, this is a grand idea. Must remember to re-jig my yearly appointment so that it falls in January instead of August. . . . . ....

Oh! I have an idea for a fun project!!! hide the crutch tip in strange places repeatedly for her. First, in her bed......she'll bring it out to you, with the disquietingly casual remark: "I found this in my bed, what does it mean?" and then.......in her suitcase, her bath, on the seat of the car before she gets in, pocket of her coat.......finally, her coffee.........it'll be fun!!!!!!

SUPERB, Soooooze!!! No, finally in her Christmas stocking. . . .. ....

I also am quite obsessed now with the idea of Sam Hill Manhead in her bed at night -- rather like a Godfather move... . .. ....I'm calling my girlfriend today, telling her I want him back on Christmas Eve. . . . .

[jerseyangel]

Sillies can you believe tis Christmas this week?!?!? Is everyone ready?

I'm as ready as I'm ever gonna be This year, I just can't wait for it all to be over......

This morning, I caught John Pinette on The View doing a comedy bit. He was talking about different irritants in his life, and he mentioned health food stores. He said something like--"I tried gluten free bread.....gluten free......I have no idea what gluten is, but apparently it tastes fantastic!"
