I'm with Janet I am turning in for the night. The ice is slamming my house and I am hoping to go to work tomorrow, probably not on time but I want to go.

See you all in the morning at some point.

Emily can I borrow the brain to catch up at work.

Ummmm, :unsure: just wanted to mention :unsure: that when Amanda said she was "with" me :unsure: she didn't mean she was with me :unsure:

Not that there's anything wrong with that . . .

:lol:

Janet you are so funny!

Anyhoo-morning Sillies!!!!!

The ride to work was not fun. Once you get to the highways it is just wet and slushy....the other roads it is like an ice/slush mess. Someone honked at me for going slow...Did they think I was going to want to have an accident...people my goodness in such hurries!

Good Morning, Guys!

Gaaaahhhhh.....

Out in yer shorts again today, Mr. Tom? (Said in whiny, racked-with-jeaslousy voice)...More snow coming down. Lots more. The banks are probably up to our windows. GAWD!

Ok, I'm late to the party, but can someone provide insight to me on the Em's famous dad?!

Dad is (was....retired, now) a local radio/TV guy. The memorable work he did on television was on this show:

Open Original Shared Link

For some reason the quality is quite bad...Dunno why.

May cause drowsiness :lol: WTH!?!?! Isn't that the point. Legal issue I'm sure. What's next? Antibiotics with the warning May kill bacteria ???

:lol::lol: Yeah, and don't operate large machinery...Thank gawd that's mentioned, as I'm often about to climb onto my forklift....

Well, isn't it now your duty to request pix . . .oh .. .maybe ~12x/yr at somewhat evenly spaced intervals?

:lol: Yes, I should spread it out...you know what you need to do with seniors to make their lives exciting.... :rolleyes:

.........tell me all your hopes! Tell me all your hopes and dreams you precious.....loving......WEEEE-ZEL!!!!!!!!!!" and "you are soooooooo special! you're special, special, ssoooooooooo SPECIAL!!!!"

OMG.....Hear exactly this all the time from husband....Gawd, it gets quite taxing, really, to hear him go on.... :lol::lol:

Susie I find myself using the word Heinous all the time now.... :)

Yes, me too....my kids, not surprisingly, wince and yell at me each time they hear it, thinking I'm referring to something anal... :rolleyes:

Emily can I borrow the brain to catch up at work.

You got it...keep it for the week. Giving the students test this week, so just need to sit there, staring at them....

jerseyangel Proficient
I've become a fan just from the stories & avatars over these months in Sillyville. Wish the timing was different on the show.

Yeah--me too. I wish I had watched it--I remember seeing the show listed, but figured it was strictly a kid's show. Darn! (sorry--nothing personal, Janet)

Susie I find myself using the word Heinous all the time now....:)

I'm doing that too :P

Ok...I have to ask, a board member keeps referring my name as blueeyedmama and I want to correct her but she has contradicted my posts several times

recently she told me I need to talk to my hospital because we are out of date on our TSH testing with the ranges. She does not understand every lab is different due to the methods they use for testing.

Ugh! Help Sillies Help!

Yeah rrrrrright ;)

Got nothing,....except to say I do use the word (pronounced) H(anus) all the time :lol: ...does anyone dare to pronounce it H(enus) :o:unsure: ?????????

Also Luuuurve the way Susie's friend Jenn talks to Annie (like a complete utter mad dog lady :lol: )

BIG DAY for kitty Will.....t'is unseasonably warm (NO shorts....GAD!!! :lol: )....and the back door was open.....kitty Will ventured out...........

(...must start on that book ''Kitty Will's Big Day Out & Further Adventures'')

..he barely dared to traverse the patio :unsure: .....I put him on the grass but he scurried off indoors screaming ''NO Mummy, I DON'T like it!!!!!!!'' :lol: ..........ok........he didn't actually say that BUT he did in his mind ;)

Nikki, that's one sappy cat ya got there! Not out pooping in gardens, killing birds and bringing them onto the bed, cutting themselves up (HEY! Phrasal Verb alert!) in fights, like mine do? :rolleyes::o

Speaking of such things, Jack came home very sad a few days ago as one of the school budgies died. They have two, and the little female who is left is absolutely stricken. She just sits on the post, no chirping, no eating. We are taking a field trip to the pet store for another budgie next week, but in the meantime the kids are very concerned about her.

They put Nick's (the dead one) body in the school freezer, as they always have a ceremony outdoors and an area where they bury their animals. So, we must wait till the spring. Last night I lay awake thinking, "Well...they could put him on the perch frozen and then back into the freezer after a while, before he thaws. Just for a few days, until we have a new one". I really did think this, at 2:30 in the morning. It is amazing what we conceive of at this time, and how it seems quite acceptable. :o:o:lol:

All roads lead back to Open Original Shared Link. :lol::lol:

Sillies!!!! What have I done??!!!?? Book club is at my house tonight. This requires some type of dessert on my part. Do I go with something that I've made before??? Noooooo. Do I go with something that is naturally gluten-free like choc fondue & fruit? Noooooooooo. No!!! I've decided to make gluten-free texas cake. Took my original recipe and made a wild-a$$ guess at what I should do modified a few ingedients . . . Well, there's plenty of wine and that's what counts, I guess. Oh yes, and I shouldn't be on here at all . . . should be frantically hiding cleaning up crap! (<---Good Lord!!! A phrasal verb!!)

:lol::lol: ...Bah...I'll just get another spectacular bruise, as she may hit me.

Janet!! So true, life is really just one big Monty Python Skit....at least mine seems to be. Now, we could follow their lead, and just tell the junior elementary kids that we made a mistake and Nick is just resting...reinstate him on the post, then whip him back into the freezer after school. That takes care of their grief. But his little budgie mate...I dunno how easily she'll be fooled. He'll be pretty bloody cold.... :o:lol:

Oh! Do not care a whit about the dessert, Janet! What book are you discussing?

Re: Yolo's art

I love her stuff!!!!!! thanks for the link.

Yes! I was delightfully surprised & knew I must post a link. :)

Looking fwd to meeting her. Might be Fri or Sat.

Emily - how ADORABLE your dad will send photos...OMG - I might want one too, have never seen the show but....what a fun thing to have! :P

Hehehehehehehhe yup . .. . ..sign me up for June or July :lol:

We are a very stylen bunch of sillies! No hussies though as Patti calls them.....or Flussies! I like that word too!

So now I'm the only one who doesn't know what Flussies mean???? :huh:

Yes, me too....my kids, not surprisingly, wince and yell at me each time they hear it, thinking I'm referring to something anal... :rolleyes:

:lol:

BlueEyedMama reminds me of lyrics to a blues song which I can't quite recall.

recently she told me I need to talk to my hospital because we are out of date on our TSH testing with the ranges. She does not understand every lab is different due to the methods they use for testing.

Howzabout an analogy to ppl w/ different size 'measuring sticks' where both are right in saying "It's 16 long" and "It's 5 and a half".

Or an American in Australia claiming to weigh 220, while they all say "you look about 100, mate".

[Edit: which thread is that 'mama'??]

Got nothing,....except to say I do use the word (pronounced) H(anus) all the time :lol: ...does anyone dare to pronounce it H(enus) :o:unsure: ?????????

Wouldn't that be like pronouncing 'weight' as 'wheat'?

..he barely dared to traverse the patio :unsure: .....I put him on the grass but he scurried off indoors screaming ''NO Mummy, I DON'T like it!!!!!!!'' :lol:

:lol:

:lol: OMG Em frozen budgie! :lol: and while I still don't get to see any of the videos, I KNOW what that Python link must go to :lol::lol:

Darn210 Enthusiast
Oh! Do not care a whit about the dessert, Janet! What book are you discussing?

I thought you were going to ask what kind of wine I'm serving . . . :lol:

Tonight's book is Eat Pray Love . . . I did not care for it. Not my type of book and I'm not sure why we even picked it. I know it was an Oprah book and in general, we don't read the Oprah books. 'Course we've only been doing this for a year. In fact tonight's meeting is the one year anniversary, so we are going around the room and giving our favoUrite and least favoUrite books of the year. This book will be my least favoUrite. I didn't even finish and that is the first time that's happened for me and it wasn't due to lack of time. It just could not hold my attention. My favoUrite was probably The Good Earth. Rena's Promise was a close second but it's hard to pick a holocaust book as your favoUrite.

Probably a little more info than you wanted, eh, but I'm procrastinating . . . :ph34r:

Here is my reminder email that I sent out:

Oh Yeah . . . book club at my house tomorrow night at 7:30. If you want to come early and help clean you are more than welcome. If you don't come to clean, then I will ask you to please refrain from writing your names or "Dust Me" on my furniture.

I have noticed lately that although a year ago, I would have sent out the same email, now I'm expecting some sort of witty response or some smiley faced emoticons to acknowledge my great sense of humoUr . . . I blame all of you for this . . . :angry::lol:

gah!!!!! :lol: I LOVE your invitation......

everyone wants me to read Eat, Pray, Love - - but I am soooooo tired of people and their treks to the.....ashrams? Is that what they're called? To commune with holy men? Very trendy and.....people throw it in my face a lot....kind of like I used to do when first a Christian :ph34r:

:ph34r: I am, however, quite interested in the two parts of the book dealing with the massive depression adn then the eating in Italy - :lol:

OMG! :angry: I had all these quotes 'n stuph and now they're gone and um...I looked for a triangle and a back button and......well now there's just no time, sillies.

Frozen budgie - OMG - I will tell Gail. She is OBSESSED w/ budgies and has about 500 books on same and also on birds of the southeastern hemisphere of the world. Having known her more than 40 years I have been involuntarily forced to learn everything - - Palm Cockatoos, Ledbetter Cockatoos, Solomon Cockatoos, Hyacinth Macaws, but mostly cockatoos, budgies, and grasskeets, Conyers. :blink: a total crackup.....I once met a diplomat, in Monterey, from Indonesia and knew that if I didn't ask him about his birds, I'd hear about it later...... :lol: He did have many and Gail was OUT OF HER MIND for the report.......

Em - it won't be the same, putting the frozen one on the perch......I do have Stinker's ashes here and actually opened the bag to inspect....let Annie sniff.......um, there was really no recognition insofar as I can tell. :lol:

nik - - Hee-nous - that is quite often how newscasters used to say it - - not so much now. Oh wait, in fact, they're too stupid to use the word heinous. :huh:

Love Will's adventure :lol:

Dang it, I forgot what else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(And an xtra :lol: for Dust Me! )

Here's a funny I saw in today's paper.

At least one art collector spent the equivalent of $40 on an original "Freddie W.R. Linsky" abstract expressionist painting, praising its "flow" and "energy", and a gallery in Berlin made an inquiry about Linsky's other works. Linsky is an enthusiastic 2-year-old, whose mother had him daub ketchup splotches onto canvases and then uploaded the images to art patron Charles Saatchi's online gallery. Mum's caption for one Linsky work was: "The striking use of oriental calligraphy has the kenji-like characters stampeding from the page." (Source: News of the Weird)

Yes! Forgot to mention Yolo's work. What I saw I really liked. Careful, Tom....you're planning on a meeting with a visual artist.... Gad..... :lol::lol:

I should think that "Henous" would be pronounced as a rhyme for "Dennis"...ugh, hate everything about the world of pronunciation. HEINOUS to teach!!

everyone wants me to read Eat, Pray, Love - -

Have not read it. My girlfriend described it to me and I just thought that anything so solipsistic will have to wait. Not in that mental spot right now... :huh:<_<

OMG...we have DH's aunt's ashes in an urn in our bedroom closet. She died two years ago, and we haven't figured out what to do with them. She left NO instructions, and she did not want to be sitting on a shelf in a funeral vault...so, she's in with DH's shoes until the summer, when we'll bury her in a lovely garden somewhere. So bizarre....... <_<

I shall use it in book club tonight!!!! Then I will pass around the dictionary so they know WTH I said!!! :lol::lol:

Cake looks good . . . icing is fantastic (but that was gluten-free to begin with). I made two small cakes instead of one big one so that we can sample one and find out if I need to make an emergency run to Kroger for some sort of dessert!!

I have decided that I'm just going to use Emily's quote and not even try to come up with my own sentence . . . I had to go to dictionary.com to check the pronunciation . . . I don't want to sound like I don't know what I'm talking about!!! :lol::lol:

More towards "dang .. . .Emily's too smart for me" :lol:

I think that makes the count Four in the words-used-here-tom-had-to-look-up category. :D:lol:

Good one Em!!! ;)

      I am taking my celiac a lot more seriously now and want to avoid chances of cross contact, does anyone have any good ground turkey brands or chicken brands they can recommend ? 
    • trents
      Moms Across America for one. Here's the article that kicked off long thread and more than one thread on Celiac.com this past summer:  Our community feels the testing needs to be tightened up. As of now, GFCO allows food companies to do self-testing and self-reporting. Testing is also done We strongly believe testing needs to be done more frequently and there needs to be drop in, unannounced testing by the FDA and certification groups.
    • CiCi1021
      What celiac watchdog groups have looked into what you mentioned? Thanks.
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum, @CiCi1021! Well, to begin with, most of us have found it isn't necessary to buy a lot of specifically labeled "gluten free" or "Certified Gluten Free" prepackaged food items as long as you are willing and able to cook from scratch. This is especially true since testing by celiac watchdog groups has cast some serious doubt on how consistently food companies are actually meeting gluten free and certified gluten free standards. It's probably just as effective and certainly less expensive to buy naturally gluten free mainline food products such as fresh meat, vegetables and fruit and prepare your own meals. The only major exception to that in my experience is loaf bread. It's very difficult to make your own gluten free bread products and have them come out decent with regard to texture. The major food companies have invested a lot into that component and have come up with some pretty good stuff that's hard to duplicate for yourself.
