Poor John... .......oh wait....you meant the neighboUrs.......sorry

(woohoo! 1st LOL of the morning!)

[blueeyedmanda]

LOL...second one!

[tom]

.. . .. . My son immediately turned and speedwalked home, no looking back. Our old neighboUr stopped and stared at Will, obviously speechless.

[DingoGirl]

My DH (undiagnosed celiac, for sure) has more disgusting flatulence than anyone I've ever known. So, we challenged him to keep track for one whole day. Well, yesterday morning he was at 20 before he made it to the breakfast table. He was sending me emails from his office...11:45--38. 1:30--51. 3:30--79. As we sat down to dinner he figured he was right at 100. Then, after supper all hell broke loose, and he lost count at around 150. It's an interesting family activity...

:lol: ------ > etc.

(taht is my new symbol for 25 LOL emoticons and by that I DO mean cackling smiley faces and NOT Lady of Leeeeeeeeeezure suits)

mygawd......forgot to tell you yesterday how outrageously funny that is. Um......this......exorbitant level of fartage......affect the marriage much?

No name for the Fresno one?

I guess the "TWO" means you don't count San Fernando Valley ones anymore?

Have you forgotten how boooo00000oooooring it was???

San Fernando Valley? Dude, I am in San Joaquin Valley....much more mundane. That other movie was called Puppetmasters w/ Donald Sutherland......it was SOOOOOOOOOO much fun. Alas, cutting room floor also.

BORING????????????????? STanding around on a set all day, causing trouble, talkign w/ EVERYONE, watching scenes as they are crafted and filmed, watching Ron Howard scroll through the dailies (I stood right next to him), eating endless food from Kraft services table - - mygawd.......quite the life.........

I can't believe I am surrounded by all of this . . . stardom? Movie Stars and Celiac Celebrity SpokesModels!!! What have I got to compare?? A couple of interviews on the news? They were both speaking parts . . . does that count?

oh yes, we are FAMOUS. But we'll still talk to you, in between fending off the paparazzi and going to Starbucks without out panties on.

The minute he said this, DH let out what was apparently the loudest, longest, bubbling fart to date. My son immediately turned and speedwalked home, no looking back. Our old neighboUr stopped and stared at Will, obviously speechless. How to take this? As a hint, like, "No thanks! Sure don't need any of those!" or as a snide slough-off, like "Well, did you hear that? What do you think?"

"loudest, longest, bubbling fart to date........."

*snoooooort* :lol:

Emily - um, you mean he ACTUALLY has no power in his sphincter to control these emissions in public? mygawd, I do know that I have the most enviable and unusual talents of sphincter control, in fact am even able to monitor the audibility and volume of my fartage......but he just LETS 'EM RIP in front of lovely, bean-bearing (ha ha ha ha ha - the irony in that !!!!!!!!!) neighboUrs?

(it has occurred to me how little gas I have now that am gluten-free - - probably less than 10 GASSERS a day and some days, good Lord, probably zero. Will start monitoring and counting, though, adn update here. )

I'm coming to you all courtesy of my husband He brought me tea in bed, along with my laptop. So, I'm languishing here in my jammies.

Patti, languishing!!!!!!! Annie and I languish in bed and have our lie-ins sleep-ins until 9 or 10 on weekends, alas, no one has brought us tea and computers.......

You lucky thing!!!!......I don't EVER get such luxuries........NEVER even seem to get a lie-in these days ......do you feel sorry for me yet?......must get on with ironing (HEINOUS) school uniforms and stuff...it's all work, work........

oh, the heinosity, the drudgery, the hideous injustice of it all............. make those boys SERVE you whilst you languish in bed and watch East Enders.........

Oh dear - left Annie alone last night for the FIRST time since tika's death (two weeks today) - I was gone for 45 minutes - got home and she had gotten into a box of gluten-free flours which hadn't been put away....so I came home to find the bag carefully extricated from the box, ripped apart w/ her little raccoon hands.....and flour spread all over the carpet in hallway......she slunk away SOOOOOO low to the ground and guiltily - I foolishly started to admonish her - - so she runs away and slithers onto the couch - never has done this before - doesn't get on couch without permission - - and then, she WEED on the couch.

So sad.....I had to cuddle and cuddle her........the ONLY other time she weed on anything was the day Tika died, and she wet the front seat of the car.......

my poor, neurotic, angst-ridden little weasel - what am I doing to do? I HAVE to get her a kitty.......and I don't WANT another pet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blueeyedmanda]

Oh Susie...sorry to hear about this. Maybe this is her way of dealing with chang?

My neighbor below has a german sheppard who is about 1, so still a puppy. Well, she gave birth to an adorable baby boy in October, Landen. Sometimes, Ali the dog still acts up, goes after the baby's clothes and tosses them about..etc. She is very protective of the baby and all but sometimes she is still accepting the changes....

Not sure this will help but wanted to pass it along.

I am sitting here dreading going back to work tomorrow.....no matter how many good days I have I just do not want to go back to that place....

[Green12]

Everyone here is so famous.....Tom and Susie Q in major motion pictures, Emily and her dad, Amanda and Wegmans, Janet's been on the news for gosh sakes....

Tom, Revenge of the Nerds brings back a lot of memories, of the 80s variety

This past autumn, Will was walking with DS home from the park, and as they passed by our neighboUr's house, the older man came out of the house. "Hey, guys!", he said, approaching them and holding out a bag of freshed-picked beans from his garden, "We've got too many beans comin' up for Doris and I to eat. Would you like to have these?"

The minute he said this, DH let out what was apparently the loudest, longest, bubbling fart to date. My son immediately turned and speedwalked home, no looking back. Our old neighboUr stopped and stared at Will, obviously speechless. How to take this? As a hint, like, "No thanks! Sure don't need any of those!" or as a snide slough-off, like "Well, did you hear that? What do you think?"

Simply HEINOUS. This all must stop.....

Incidentally, he accepted the beans with a hearty thank-you, and left our old neighboUr with yet another reason to really wonder about that family near the corner...

OMG, this made me LAUGH OUT LOUD, surely I burned 500 calories or more.

I have a friend who I am told, by his wife and unbeknownst to him, has a similar issue. She spoke of a particular family outing when they were all enclosed in a car and driving a long distance, you can probably tell where this is going...it was so bad, one noxious explosion after the other, the wife and the kids had to roll down their windows and stick their heads out the windows like dogs!

Poor Annie! She's having a rough time of it. You know she got into the flour to make some kind of statement.

I am sitting here dreading going back to work tomorrow.....no matter how many good days I have I just do not want to go back to that place....

I know, the weekends come and go so fast!

One minute it's TGIF!!! WOO HOO!!! Then the next thing you know it's Sunday afternoon and Monday is right around the corner and back to work .....

OMG - did I tell you guys I got a marriage proposal last night? He was 25, besotted and more than tipsy.....gads.........last night I was attracting young'uns, so had PART of my mojo......yet, when I approached a BEAUTIFUL man at this other bar, we had a lovely conversation, but no digits were requested, so it was a failed (but entertaining) attempt and he was from Nashville - PROVING MY POINT that all the good mens are southern)........

So........vapid crowd of young, pointless men everywhere - - the only ones that hit on me were REALLY old or REALLY young...... Which means.......

Susie Dies Alone in Stepford

[elye]

Emily - um, you mean he ACTUALLY has no power in his sphincter to control these emissions in public?

This is why I am certain it is truly an intestinal illness (celiac, of course), as he has such quantity, of such HEINOSITY, and with absolutely no control over it all. He claims they just happen. I have, by the way, Susie, mentioned your astonishing, award-winning sphincter to him, and how it is possible to reach such heights of excellence. I have mentioned it to many in my circle, in fact....and I suppose a number out of it. Our mailman, my students (framed it into a challenging pronunciation drill--"Susie's super-strong sphincter" repeated quickly), the guys at the gym...

(it has occurred to me how little gas I have now that am gluten-free - - probably less than 10 GASSERS a day and some days, good Lord, probably zero. Will start monitoring and counting, though, adn update here. )

I believe I have very little, as well. All right, starting tomorrow, as soon as everyone awakens, we are keeping a running count. We must report in with our number every three or four hours. This is truly what the Silly Thread is all about...I'm surprised this hasn't been done before! Okay, so it's usually Amanda and I posting first in the morning...we'll have the first entries. Now, we're all on our honoUr....no cheating or fibbing!!

So sad.....I had to cuddle and cuddle her........the ONLY other time she weed on anything was the day Tika died, and she wet the front seat of the car....

my poor, neurotic, angst-ridden little weasel - what am I doing to do? I HAVE to get her a kitty.......and I don't WANT another pet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor Annie....I think it's time for a rescue kitten!!

Oh Susie...sorry to hear about this. Maybe this is her way of dealing with chang?

OMG....Here I was , re-reading this sentence of Amanda's, racking my brain, thinking, "What have I missed?! Who is Chang?? A new East Asian neighboUr, making all sorts of noise through the night, causing Annie all sorts of stress? Did Susie mention a new Chinese boyfriend, and Annie's acting out of jealousy?!" Mygawd, hilarious.....

all right, the Weasel and I are goign to snuggle on teh couch and watch a movie.......mygawd.....I am creating the most co-dependent, unhealthy, symbiotic relationship here ......enabling my little Love Bug in her separation anxiety and sundry neuroses....she smiled and wagged her tail and was intensely, visibly relieved when, after I showered, I put the lovely black and cream toile jammies on... the ones which have NEVER left the house - with me in them or otherwise....

BEVERLY - - Hugh Grant on - what's that show called?

GOLF BALLS :lol: :lol:

OMG - I am deeply in love w/ Hugh Grant (best movie: About a Boy. Second best: Love Actually) .......gads, if he ONLY knew about me....surely he would love me.......alas, he actually did break up w/ not only Elizabeth Hurley but the outrageously gorgeous and wealthy Jemima Khan.......afraid I don't stand a chance.......yet......yet.........maybe he IS looking for a middle-aged, gluten-brained, expanding-bellied/small-breasted, questionably-employed cOeliac w/ no money and a really needy dingo, here in the heart of our nation's richest agricultural (vapid) land of simpletons........

Susan of the Herucean Sphincter...

"Sphincter" is a funny enough word without all our hilarity around it...

Huge guffaw at the idea of the Fart Chart and indeed, why HAVEN"T we done this before?

Won't be able to get a decent flowchart going before early tomorrow morning, so the Fart Chart is out. Perhaps we can graph the results afterward. Could be an interesting visual study...a comparison of flatulent episodes taken from random individuals scattered throughout..well, the world!...Nikki, you're in, we hope?

.......maybe he IS looking for a middle-aged, gluten-brained, expanding-bellied/small-breasted, questionably-employed cOeliac w/ no money and a really needy dingo, here in the heart of our nation's richest agricultural (vapid) land of simpletons........

Well..........could send this description to my brother, if you like, but....I dunno.....there may be a chance it'll turn him off somewhat....

Em - go back and re-read my post......I did a serious edit whilst I THOUGHT I was writing a NEW post.......

I re-read...it's your usual hilariousness...what did I miss?

[DingoGirl]

I re-read...it's your usual hilariousness...what did I miss?

Um, yeah, don't give that description to your bro, it didn't work so well for me on Match.com.

[Mtndog]

I had NO idea we had such famoUs peeps! Susie- Matt Mc? YUMMERS!!!!!!!

I was in a movie w/ Leif Garrett!

Terrible movie called 'Thunder Alley', not to be confused w/ Thunder Road or any other Thunder movie.

Filmed in Tucson, I was a mere extra, of course, but did get ~3sec onscreen w/ just 2 other ppl.

Leif did show at a plain ole house party one weekend tho. He was well past his prime and we didn't care.

OMG- too funny! He DID NOT AGE WELL!

The best t-shirt I ever saw (okay one of the two best ... the other was -- there are 10 types of people, those who understand binary and those who don't! ) -- I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals, I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants!

Too funny- I have a magnet from a friend that says, "Vegetarian: Indian Word for Lousy Hunter"

So the surprise was dinner and some time at The Colliseum, which is a bar/sports complex....with arcade games. There is bowling there.

Surprises are GOOD!!!!!!!!!

Terry proposed to me several times .....kept him at arms length.....but he wore me down in the end

YOU SAUCY MINX!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too stinkin (get it? ) funny about your husband! I think you're right and there are 2 Celiacs in the family.

Patti's getting funnier as the day's go on- she's unleashing her inner vixen too!!!!!!!!!

(taht is my new symbol for 25 LOL emoticons and by that I DO mean cackling smiley faces and NOT Lady of Leeeeeeeeeezure suits)

oh yes, we are FAMOUS. But we'll still talk to you, in between fending off the paparazzi and going to Starbucks without out panties on.

Oh dear - left Annie alone last night for the FIRST time since tika's death (two weeks today) - I was gone for 45 minutes .....and then, she WEED on the couch.

Poor wee Annie......

I am sitting here dreading going back to work tomorrow.....no matter how many good days I have I just do not want to go back to that place....

My hubby said the same thing this morning!

OMG, this broke me up. Jacquie came to see what was so funny, and she totally cracked up for over a minute. This is SO funny.

Emily, if I can be serious for a moment here in Sillyville, if Will's brother has celiac disease and it is likely that Will himself has celiac disease, given that you also have celiac disease, please get Jack and Sophie tested. They may not be showing any symptoms, but their likelihood of having it just doubled IMHO.

[blueeyedmanda]

Hi Sillies, sorry to be so distant today. I was not feeling the best. Then tonight together John and I made this wonderful dinner and everything was safe too....and I was soo sick! I am still not the best but better than before. I am thinking it is stress, worrying about work and how I detest it, worrying about the problems with the neighbors, a million things....

[tom]

Sorry you're not feeling well Amanda.

It won't be quick or easy, but you do need a different job unless somehow things change there.

I get it .. ..you took my proclamation of "1st " as 1st in thread. Heehee I only meant it was my PERsonal 1st LOL of the day.

Ahhhhh the PYT gets to stand next to Opie! I would've been hastily ushered off the set w/ a "don't call us we'll call you", had I attempted such a thing.

We had NO access to Kraft services either!

Both movies it was wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait then "QUIET ON THE SET!!!" for 10 min then wait hrs again.

One day was 10 hrs of waiting for just 3 takes of one 15sec scene!!!

Um, the fibRE, a banned substance? hmmmm....must ponder, perhaps we'll take a vote.....would not want to send our Nik to prison, you know. Bad, bad, gluten-filled slop, her farting would increase to such a rate as to ......mygawd, what WOULD happen w/ all that farting in her cell??????????? [ummmmm....levitation, maybe? ]

Patti's getting funnier as the day's go on- she's unleashing her inner vixen too!!!!!!!!!

Top Gear baby!!!!! Maybe Hugh has a secret no one knows about.........

Our Patti IS getting funnier, and so is Peter.

OMG - what IS Hugh's secret?????? and - *gasp* I TOTALLY forgot about taht incident with the ho' in LA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG, this broke me up. Jacquie came to see what was so funny, and she totally cracked up for over a minute. This is SO funny.

did the cats laugh, too?

Hi Sillies, sorry to be so distant today. I was not feeling the best. Then tonight together John and I made this wonderful dinner and everything was safe too....and I was soo sick! I am still not the best but better than before. I am thinking it is stress, worrying about work and how I detest it, worrying about the problems with the neighbors, a million things....

oh, boo. so sorry and hope you're better quite soon.

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must watch the SAG awards now, 'tis the ONLY awards show of the season, methinks, hence only chance to see the Orange Laaaaydies of LA (thank you, Tina Fey) answer INSIPID queries about "who they're wearing" and crap like that.................. <I need a life>

OMG - just caught a glimpse of Brad Pitt and he seems to be sporting some.......curiously poofy bouffant hairdo - what in hell is that about?

One day was 10 hrs of waiting for just 3 takes of one 15sec scene!!!

we ate like pigs, all day long.

OMG - on Puppet Masters set, I made friends w/ an actor named Marshall Bell.......lovely man. We had a nice flirtation going and I actually got to eat at the actors' table one day. Alas, no majors were dining at that time, but I met Sutherland and this young hottie named.....Thor? Thyme? Thong? oh - Eric Thal. And this TOTAL BEEOCH named Julie Warner.

Anywho, Marshall was quite a bit older than I, and alas, in 1994 I was not considering rich, older men (so very foolish ). We had dinner 3 or 4 times while he was in town, and he did stay in touch for a while, sent postcards from Ireland whilst filming there. I felt that he was rather more a father figure in my mind......um, I don't think he was thinking that.

And that, my friends, is my major claim to fame. :lol:

BTW the movie was COMPLETELY lame.

OMG - Ed TV - - I had gone to a ginormous casting call in San Francisco and a few months went by.... On April Fool's day, at 11 p.m., I got a phone call from a very weary and harried casting agent, asking if I could be in SF at 8:00 a.m. the next day (I lived in Monterey - a two-hour drive), w/ five outfits for wardrobe change, to climb on scaffolding and be a paparazzo. Um, I TOTALLY thought it was an April Fool's joke and argued w/ the guy - thinking it was my friend Roger. OMG. I got his number, called my mom, who also lived in Monterey.....I was frantic - - I had things to do the next day - - blah blah blah - and she says "HONEY!!!!!! Snap out of it!!!!! It's MATTHEW. You're going. I'll take care of everything tomorrow" click.

I called the guy back - - rounded up my outfits, got two hours sleep - left at 5 and made it on time. We hung around in a basement all day, scads of people, until I coerced a small group into hanging around on set and watching everything - SO much fun.

Our scenes didn't film until about 5 p.m., and I got home at midnight.............good gawd. Long day, but quite memorable. Very little work and lots of fun for $100......

<good gawd - - I think I've told this story before somewhere on this forum - *yawn* - - I am demented - - a "re-teller" of stories >

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies...Morning Emily!!! I see you typing already

Still feeling a little yucky this morning, hoping to shake it soon.
