  1. Morning, All!! The Philly Silly Psummit....I am getting SO excited about this. I was thinking about it late into the night... Lisa, you must be terrific at what you do...One must be, to illicit these kinds of responses and interactions with even the most open of teenagers. Those kids are lucky to have you! Now, my diplomat students....
  2. King Peter! if you are also on vacation during July 8-10, YOU MUST COME!!
  3. OR: vomit on your resume, then send it along. That outta do it..... OMG.....That makes my heart go dancing, Lisa. Patti, I meant to mention that you would absolutely make the BEST guidance counsellor EVAH. Man, would I love to be heading into your office as a screwed-up teenager. You should do this!
  4. On trails. Dirt and grass..pretty ideal for human and dog feet..... Oh, yeah......!! Would I love to teach from my home, via teleconferencing er sumfin'....just my face, so I could be in my jammies. Oh....maybe just my ear, or from the forehead up, so I wouldn't have to put on makeup.... I know, I know, not phunny. Just...
  5. Labs, goldens, german shepherds, and the giant breeds....not unheard of in standards, but certainly uncommon. Dunno, the symptoms just seem to fit. However, I didn't notice them at all until she'd been here a couple of days. I think that whatever it is (osteoarthritis, dysplasia, etc.) has been brought on or aggravated by exercise. I walk and run faithfully...
  6. Ohhhhh..... Elsie is really limping. Having trouble with the stairs at times, and very stiff upon rising from her bed. She goes for her checkup tomorrow, but I just do not feel good about this..... ...symptoms of hip dysplasia.....
  7. Aw, Susie. I'm sorry you're ridin' around on yer heinous menstrual cycle presently.....But you know, it is SO wonderful how we all come on here, even when we're grieving, hormonal, withdrawing, exhausted, depressed....this is truly a wonderful place, with good, true friends that are always here. This says quite a bit about our Sillyville, methinks.....
  8. OMG...I admire you public, middle and high school teachers SO much. I scurried away from the public system a few years ago when I discovered the wonderful world of adult education, where all the students actually want to be there, it's all teaching and no disciplining (well...not much, anyway) and where I learn as much if not more than the diplomats do....
  9. Ohhh, Jess, SUCH EXCITING and HAPPY STUFF HAPPENING! Yes, adopt them both. Absolutely. If you can do it, you must! I LOVE Lefty. I'm an underdog/cat person myself, and boy, if I've ever seen a disadvantaged underdogcat, it's him! Patti, I've copied out your recommendations for Philly, and Bev's, as well. I will let you guys know where we are staying...
  10. OMG...Could I perhaps meet up with Amanda, Patti and Judy if we stop in Philly??! Excellent news on the good sleeps, Amanda. A drug-free sleep is absolutely the best....
  11. I luuuuurrrrrrrve Maine coons. They are HUGE, and so laid back.... Bev!! Baby bunnies! Oh, that is heart-warming. Thanks for that info on Philly! Kids and DH want to go to Washington, but it's another four hours in the car, and I've heard great things about the history of Philadelphia, and it's only an hour south of NYC...so I'm voting for three...
  12. Morning, Sillies! Ah, a four-day week...this is good. And you Yanks have one this weekend coming, yes? Well, Elsie goes to the vet tomorrow for a check-up. We are concerned about her back legs... They are weak. When we run with her, they are stiff afterwards, and she hobbles around somewhat when she first gets up in the morning. She has had...
  13. Yes, Ptaoughmnhmn....how did the day go?
  14. Ohhhhh, Janet......does that recipe sound Yummmmmmmmmmy..... Susie, the hot dog buns are Kinnikinnik. We also get their hamburger buns. They are very good! Unfortunately, quite $$$$ as well....but worth it!
  15. OMG....Pigs and bats....... Susie......you've got a weird guy, there. Thank gawd I have someone who will eat anything put in front of him (well....except maybe poop, er sumfin').... Now, the children remain a different matter..... Susie! Can't you get gluten-free hot dog buns? I buy mine at the natural food store here....
  16. Wow!! Out of despair sometimes comes some happinesss...Jess, you now have the opportunity to rescue another darling (or darlings)!... Leo is absolutely adorable. Those two big adolescent siblings,however, kind of stole my heart. They will indeed be less "attractive" to the normal pet shopper, and will wait and wait while the darling kittens get scooped...
  17. A fine idea, King Peter! Get the yeti on that...or better yet, Janet, since you are a den helper/person for your Cub Pack, have them all over for a Gettin' Close to Nature Jamboree. Tell them that, as they always need to Be Prepared, they should have the needed tools with them and ready - - shovels, wheelbarrows, etc. I'm sure there's a Gardener's Badge...
  18. Ptaoughmhn! This will be a sad, taxing thing for you. It's very good that you are going to this. Funerals are tough, sometimes agonizing...I've been to many. But, for some reason, I've always felt....what....perhaps a little bit better....at the end of the day, once I had been with others weak with grief. There is, indeed, power and strength in numbers...
  19. Good holiday morning, Sillies! Amanda, good job with Landen! A true mom in the making...actually, better than a mom - - I would've probably lost it (I certainly remember doing so with my babies) and you kept your cool! Going to see Prince Caspian this afternoon, as it is rainy and horrid outside, the first unsunny day in a couple of weeks. Elsie...
  20. Hey! Let's all pitch in and buy one of those big lots and put up a Silly Chalet for our Silly Summits that we can begin planning! We'll have to try to keep it down through the night, as we don't want to wake up the kids next door.....
  21. Susie! Got Lars and the Real Girl all cued up....gonna watch it wif Sophie, upon yer recommenation....
  22. Oh, Jess....I am so sorry about your little guy.... I am thinking about you! Patti! Heinous basement floods...had one on September 9, 2004 - - the remnants of Hurricane Jeanne. We had almost two feet of water in our basement, and we're in a bungalow, so we have a BIG living space down there, including our children's bedrooms. We had a $40,000 insurance...
  23. Yay!!! The SCHWA IS BACK! I simply love the entire concept of the schwa, as much as I love saying it....Ssssssscccccchhhhhhwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaa....... I know!! At first I thought Jess was kidding....Tell us what happened, Jess! How are you faring?
  24. Jess!! I am SO SORRY! Ughhhhh. Do you have fishers around there? They are reknowned cat killers - very vicious rodents. I have you in my thoughts! (((((HUGS))))))
