  1. I heard about this earlier this morning. They've actually declared a winner - - it might be this poor wee thing that you saw, Patti. His name is Gus (!).... Open Original Shared Link Poor little guy.......
  2. Morning, Sillies! Well, it's just Jack and I for the next three days...DH took off this morning for a meeting in Toronto, and is carting along DD and two of her girlfriends. They will be set loose on the downtown streets of the megacity, doing teenaged-girl stuff. Sophie called me about a half-hour ago - - they'd been gone twenty minutes. She...
  3. Alex, I don't think it's weird or creepy at all. In fact, it is a FANTASTIC idea that just fits the situation so well - - she was a big part of your life at a very difficult time, she became, it sounds, like a second mom to you for a while, she collects Royal Doultons, and you happen to have one that was your mom's.........sounds perfect. Yes, there will...
  4. Ptaoughmghmn! Get busy on that White Chicken Chili! Well, DD made $18.00 at their garage sale. I think she was assuming that her stuff would be flying out of the driveway, and that she'd be coming home with $250.00. A rude, but necessary, awakening..... She did NOT take her old hockey pads up there to sell! Gahhhhh....I thought of it when she...
  5. Well, excellent news about your returning health, Carla!....But heinous news about your throat, Julie! I'm sorry to hear this....it must have been very frightening last evening. I'm glad to hear you're okay.
  6. ME?? A hoarder? Nevah! .....jus' stuff that's so full of memories, meaning, sentimental value......CANNOT rid meself of such treasures..... Aye, aren't they? This sounds very like our friends at Bell Canada....probably the same seventeen-year old kid in Manilla manning their phones and your ISP, Sarah.... And doing a POOP...
  7. Good Saturday morning, Sillies! Sophie spent all last evening turning her room upside down, gathering junk material to sell at her friend's garage sale today. She came into the living room with a garbage bag FULL of evidence of her pack-rat status. I did an unwise thing. I peeked in the bag. GAH!! I whip out her two stuffed bears that were given...
  8. Jack came into the room and asked one of his great questions: Why do we say that people are "head over heels" when they're in love? Aren't we normally this way?
  9. Gawd, Ptaoughmghmn, I'm a bit concerned.......I'm starting to read things the way you do...... It was another way to read Julie's :emoticon:.....the word "quiz" was there, and "icicle", I believe......Having trouble remembering....it was very phunee and clever at the time!
  10. Superb, and VERY sensible, Observations, Janet! Took me a sec, Ptaoughmnhmn....... Well, I now have both of my children home for the summer. A superb final concert....Jack was quintessentially librarianish - - he truly captured the spirit, the mindset and the attitude that encompasses one of these hard-working individuals. His big...
  11. Hi, Carla! Mygawd, but you're a brave thing, turning up in Sillyville with a post count like that....... Well done, Ptaoughmghmn! Sounds vaguely Seussian..........
  12. Our kids go back the day after Labour Day - - this year it's Sept. 5th. So our kids get a whole month more of summer holidays than your Brit kids? Whassup wif dat? Our guys have very few days off during the school year...just the big holidays - - Thanksgiving, a week at Christmas, Easter weekend, and a week in March. Perhaps you guys have more days...
  13. The Ripper's last day of school yesterday, and this afternoon is his big end-of-year show. He's excited this year, as he has a major part to play, unlike last year when he played some seaweed and he just had to make sure he constantly wiggled. This year he is a librarian, and ends up narrating the whole story. It begins with him in a chair, a bunch of...
  14. Patti! Cramps and the Sh!ts? That is the worst. Yes, Amanda may be onto sumfin' with the tomato idea.....does it feel at all like a mild type of food poisoning? I totally Bev'd Susie's Oprah promo voiceover....:manycacklyfaces: Exactly what her announcer would say, and it would be accompanied by flashing shots of our various unforgettable avatars...
  15. Morning, all! PeOter, great citing. We have a very brilliant, no-nonsense, seventy-year old radio announcer on our local talk radio station, Lowell Green, who is the king of Conservative pragmatism. He long ago declared this passage as his credo, and reads it on air every once in a while. Very thought-provoking....... Speaking of radio...
  16. Yippee, PeOter!! This could put you in the position of a Psilly Philly visit circa July 10...... You can get this guy ensconced in 21 days, I am certain......... A goal to shoot for!!!
  17. Now it's only 21 days!! I posted that yesterday...I'll have to update it each day as the big countdown ticks away.... I love YOUR av, Susie! You guys are really....um...sucking face...(!) At least, David appears as such......
  18. OMG........This relentless desert heat sounds every bit as bad as the unimaginable stuff DH had to live (and work) through in August and September '04, when hurricanes Jean and Ivan tore a devastating path of destruction across the Cayman Islands, Jamaica and The Bahamas. He flew down and worked through all the insurance claims with a disaster relief organization...
  19. This is a good question.....I'm comparing it to the President's Choice "Just Peanuts" brand (better even than Skippy, Susie.....and cheaper!)....nothing there but peanuts. The Stuff in London that I found (two different brands, both yucky) had more than peanuts, but I believe only sodium and a couple of other things....the list was very short, anyway. Tasted...
  20. Excellent.....or, create little lumps with the icing on top of the cake to look like the lump on your mom's arm.... . . . .. (Gad, I would absolutely nevah crack a joke like that with anyone else but you guys - - I'm just so comfortable and like-minded with y'all.....!)
  21. YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY, Sarah!!!!!
  22. I would say that this was the one and only disappointment in our UK adventure........the PB was quite heinous. I ate it anyway to avoid interfering withdrawal symptoms, but 'twas nothing like the classic North American stuff..... . .. I would do well over there, actually. I would NOT eat the PB that I do, and the infamous ten pounds would be gone.......
  23. OMG....We're halfway through my reign! What have I accomplished? What has transpired to keep our Silly World the fab place that it is? Well....... Oprah's now visiting.......
  24. This is quite a humourous sentence ...... ... ..sounds vaguely..... .. ..naughty? Who'll be in the room wif you whilst you do this, Patti? You could perhaps arrange to have yer....*ahem*...handyman/plumber over to help with that edging an' rolling.... Good stuff, Lisa! This is all very good news for you, Sarah! I know things will be...
