The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[elye]

Hey!

Back at the library...now I'm with my DD, who has been experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms since coming home from school to an internet-free household. I broke the news to her as she walked through the front door..."Now, sit down, hon.....I need to tell you something..." Her eyes bulged, slight tremors began down her arms....So I threw her over my shoulder into the fireman's carry and tossed her into the car. Here I am again.

What life must be like for a young teenager who can only--gasp--use a telephone to communicate with their friends, and can use only--bigger gasp--BOOKS, actual BOOKS where you have to TURN PAGES, for homework.

I dunno if DD will make it through the night......

.. . . .bleh . . .. ..

I think this is what I get for being reckless "testing" chocolate & cookies.

No physical symptoms, just mental.

Bah, Ptaum! Do you have these episodes often? Sounds very like PMS, methinks...

It's a travesty, I tell ya!

[~alex~]

All right....why am I the only one who has telephone line problems here? Wasn't it just yesterday that I found myself here at the public library computers, checking my emails and this forum? I think it's the fourth time this year we've had to call the wondrous cartel Bell Canada, and have them come to repair our outside phone line. GRRRRRRRRR........

Ack, don't even get me started on Bell Canada. Both my very calm father and very sweet fiance have come very close to yelling and swearing at the Bell people on the phone whenever we've had a problem with phone/internet/Satellite. Have you ever noticed that when you sign up for a Bell service you talk to a very kind, helpful, clearly native speaker of English, but when you need to call for help once you've already signed up you get someone much more difficult to understand and who may not really be understanding you either. Sooooo annoying!

Emily, here's a cartoon in honoUr of Sophie getting her braces off and soon getting a retainer.

[psawyer]

Bell Canada can be a royal pain in the @$$ at times. There were some problems where we live with wet underground cables last year, and they dug up our front lawn not once but twice. And I don't mean small excavations. The holes were about six feet square and five feet deep. Their contractor digs the hole, then Bell comes and does their work, and then, eventually, the contractor comes back and fills it in and lays new sod. And then for the next two weeks WE have to water the new sod daily. There was an open pit of theirs across from us for a couple of months, covering a period from before the first dig in our yard until well after the second one was filled in.

Gosh, Emily, what if somebody is looking over your shoulder? What will a stranger think of the stuff we see here?

Gee, when I was 14, the telephone was wired to the wall and had a rotary dial. We had just acquired a new TV and it had COLOuR!

I still remember the night we got our first color TV I was 11. A table phone and an extention phone--if you wanted privacy, you had to go talk in my parent's bedroom.

Taking Alan to the airport TODAY for his Orlando trip!!!!!!!!!!

Well if THAT doesn't put a smile on a Silly's face, ain't nuffin will!! :)

3:30AM Jess!!!! <oh .. . NOT on purpose>

when I was queen I banned all sickness....Patti???

In most communities, this would be a Hot Topic until resolution. In Sillyville, . . . .. ..hey where'd our Yeti go? .. . . .what was I talking about?

I often find myself saying this about DH when people ask about our plans for the weekend....

:lol:

I tried, I really did, to come up w/ something last night for this "keep him naked as much as possible" setup - way to pick up the ball & run w/ it Em!!

A fantastic show. I try not to miss it, and I guffaw throughout. Ptaum, you must try to find Corner Gas in your TV lineup, or online. Funnier and more clever, even, than MNIE.

OK trying Title Search on cablebox .. . ..bah nothin .. . .online will have to wait. I didn't get far on desk de-cluttering.

FACE THE SPANISH INQUISITION!

And you know, no one EVER expects them

I think I turn into a pumpkin from midnight to 7 am. By 8 I'm a tolerable zucchini and by 9 I'm pretty much your average Bev.

Nuh-uh!! You're BevMo'!!!!

I used to watch World News Now a TON!!

A few times lately .. ..I wonder how often they switch hosts. Maybe it was a result of near-daily viewing, but I liked the ones 6-8 yrs ago better. Or was it 10 yrs ago

<cracks me up, you can just google "cat poo coffee" and all these things come up >

TOM!!!!!!!!! I think our resident java conn-o-sewer should try it!!!!!!!!!!!

I passed on it in the 90s in Indonesia, and I'm not sure I could ever get past the Civet Butt Cooties aspect.

It really puts the sewer in conn-o-sewer . .. . . <mesuspect susie go foe-neddik cuz forgot how to spell connoisseur>

Boo Bell Canada!!!!!

(Luv the keska-say)

Amanda - that corporate consolidation of radio riles me .. . ..fav stations w/ playlist freedom became McRadio

Bah, Ptaum! Do you have these episodes often? Sounds very like PMS, methinks...

glad I wasn't drinking anything!!

[blueeyedmanda]

My DJ, Pete the Mayor Kennedy won this round!!!! I am so glad he made it this far!!! Thanks everyone who voted :)

Yea!!! Congrats to Pete the Mayor

[Ridgewalker]

And they drank the cat poop coffee

No, he won't, because he has a hyper-vigilant mother who keeps and eye out, plus all kinds of smart pholks on this forum. You WILL get to bottom of it!

I hope you're right.

Well... if this don't beat all... The boys and I were in the city this afternoon shopping and got in a car accident- yes-we're-all-fine! Actually, my big old beat-up Blazer only got a little dent. The other car (a little new-model VW bug) came out of it quite a bit worse. Picture a paper mache car that somebody punched.

This chick turned right on red. She would've been fine if she'd stayed in her lane (I was in the far left lane,) but she was busy looking in the rearview to see if her friends had followed her out, and smashed right into us-- right into Luke's door. If she'd been in a tougher car, we'd be at the hospital right now. :angry: And some more :angry:

Then, if you can believe it, she was SO busy not watching the road she never saw me at ALL, and insisted that *I* must have hit HER. Excuse me? And her friends pulled over, and instantly backed her up. I'd never been so furious in my entire life. Out of the dozens of cars that saw what happened, NO ONE else pulled over as a witness except her friends. And btw, these were middle-aged ladies, not teenagers afraid that their daddy was going to mad.

I get out of the car, phone in hand, and one of her friends squawks, "You hit her, you hit her, were you talking on your cell phone?" OMG you guys. When she said that, I was APPALLED, and absolutely purple with rage, but I stayed calm. You'd be proud. I said, "No Ma'am, I just called my husband because I'm shaking like a leaf and I have my two SMALL CHILDREN in the car." And back and forth, etc...

Anyway, anyway, the cops said they couldn't tell whose fault it was and we'd have to let the insurance companies fight it out. My car has such a small dent, and it's such an old beat up vehicle, I don't want to actually file a claim and pay a deductible to fix the dent. It would be silly.

But I guess I'm going to have to talk to my agent anyways, because that dumb you-know-what and her liar friends are going to say I somehow hit her. I am massively stressed out. I really don't need our insurance rate to go up. I'm hoping it won't- I have an excellent driving record. In fact, our insurance company has reduced our rate every six months since we signed on with them years and years ago. And since the cops couldn't form a decision on whose fault it was, nobody got a ticket, and no one was faulted on the police report.

Ugh. HEINOUS, I tell you.

It just eats me up the way people will just jump right out LYING like that. It stuns me. I once got into a fender-bender when I was 18 (the only wreck until now,) and that one was my fault. I admitted it immediately. And I WAS afraid my dad was going to be mad. I just don't get people, I really don't.

Anyhoo, like I said we are ok. Ezra has a brush-burn on his neck from the seatbelt locking up. That does worry me. How hard did his neck hit that seatbelt? I guess we'll find out tomorrow morning. I asked him if it hurt, and he said, "Oh yeah it hurts really, reeeeeeeeeally bad." But he doesn't act or move like it does. Since he recently figured out the I-don't-feel-good-so-I-can't-clean-my-room thing, I take what he says with a grain of salt.

But I'm worried about it. Usually, just riding along, the seatbelt doesn't go across his neck. I have both the boys in booster seats specifically because of that. I have him some ibuprofen though. Besides, he still feels like crap from the Strep and ear infection.

My neck hurt earlier, but feels better now. It probably was just muscle tension or something. I have to admit, it scared the crap out of me. She slammed us pretty freakin' hard. Thank God, Thank God, Thank God she wasn't driving a Suburban or something.

Welp, now that's I've written you guys a 50-page update... I've had a couple glasses of wine tonight. My nerves are SHOT.

And I didn't get ANY of my shopping done. Brian stopped at a gas station and got toilet paper, though, which was the most pressing need.

[Ridgewalker]

Saying that I hit her is like saying to someone you just shot, "Hey! You just hit my bullet!"

[blueeyedmanda]

Sarah I hope you are all ok, I was in an accident and had the neck burns as well as lap burns from a seat belt, don't be surprised if he is a little sore the next few days.

[Ridgewalker]

Sarah I hope you are all ok, I was in an accident and had the neck burns as well as lap burns from a seat belt, don't be surprised if he is a little sore the next few days.

Thanks Amanda! I will def keep an eye on him... even more. I'll update you guys tomorrow!

[nikki-uk]

Morning sillies!!!!!!!!

SARAH!!!!!!!!

Dear Gaaaaaawdd!!!!!!!!!!!!..........how much stress can a girl take eh????

You poor thing {{{{{hugs}}}}}}.........yeah - do you think 'we' are the last of a line of honest/decent citizens??? (it feels like it sometimes)

Just make sure you and the boys take it easy

I had my car written off when my eldest was a baby - we were both ok - but VERY SCARY.....(and I don't scare easy pholks )....uncharacteristically I burst into tears AFTER I ranted at the buffoon who didn't even LOOK at the roundabout (I don't believe you have them )

'He' gave me a false name and address and had false number plates so I couldn't claim on his insurance

Ok, dropped of my little coeliac at Gatwick yesterday......(they are not flying 'til 2.15pm TODAY....they stayed at the airport hotel last night)

We met the other kids,parents and of course Alan's carer....oh, and the nurse and the doctor who'll be going too

What a fantastic set up!!!......really put us at ease

Also 'our' borough Mayor was there to meet the kids and the press were there to take photos

Alan hit it off straight away with his carer...when we left he was larking about with him

Alan said to me ''I'll be back in 2 weeks Mum....promise'' *sniff*

They will phone me tomorrow to let me know they arrived ok

good to hear Nikki I bet he will have a lot of fun too

Morning Sillies.

It was a much better night with Landen last night, back to his silly self He is going to get up soon and then my parents are coming to visit today which will be nice. Warm temps again too.

[jerseyangel]

Sarah,

My God--how do people live with themselves? Thank goodness you guys are mostly ok--I could just "hear" in your post how stressed and anxious you still were. Hope you all got a peacefull night's sleep.

In 2003, I was sitting at a light in my town right after work like normal....when the light turned, the huge flatbed truck in front of me rolled backward and I sat there as my car crumpled in front of me. I was unhurt, but so shaken up--it was all I could do to not vomit right then and there.

Luckily, the truck driver admitted to the policeman that he rolled back and hit me, so I didn't have to explain anything much to the insurance co. Hope that the facts come to light and they can prove that she hit you--I'm sure they will. The insurance companies do a thorough researching of accidents even when there is no dispute over whose fault it was. I hope when that happens, she will also be issued a ticket. Damn liar that she is....and her friends, too.

Nikki,

I was thinking of A last night Glad he got off ok and is comfortable with the staff and his traveling companions. Honest to gosh, that is the cleanest place I've ever seen! When we were there, if a kid dropped an ice cream in the street, immediately, an elf appeared to clean it up--they are good! He's going to have the time of his life!

Amanda,

So happy to hear Landon is feeling better! Enjoy this beautiful day--it gets colder tomorrow

[jerseyangel]

I see poor Emily hasn't made it to the library yet this morning

[DingoGirl]

I think this is what I get for being reckless "testing" chocolate & cookies.

No physical symptoms, just mental.

hope you're better today Thaugham......your next post, after this one - was riotously funny - so you had clearly not lost your silly in the cookie toss test.....

Hey!

Back at the library...now I'm with my DD, who has been experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms since coming home from school to an internet-free household.

I dunno if DD will make it through the night....

:lol:

Indeed, the terrible egregiousness of it all!!!!!!!!!! turning pages, and twitching throughout the night w/ no screen at which to stare.......

In most communities, this would be a Hot Topic until resolution. In Sillyville, . . . .. ..hey where'd our Yeti go? .. . . .what was I talking about?

:lol:

Yeah, where IS our yeti anyway? Have we just left him atop MUrphy's Ridge, untended and forgotten?

It really puts the sewer in conn-o-sewer . .. . . <mesuspect susie go foe-neddik cuz forgot how to spell connoisseur>

:lol: You are exactly right, and it was goign to take too much time - maybe 3 or 4 seconds - to figure it out.......

besides, conn-o-sewer is just so much more appropriate in THIS venue.

CIVET BUTT COOTIES!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

SARAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

those HEINOUS bee-oches!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh honey you do NOT need this........so glad no one was seriously hurt........but - this is the way the world is going - - so heartbreaking - - and BTW I blame it all on myspace.

Anywho, keep us posted...........drink some wine and vent all you like.......your bad streak has GOT to end soon. You know, I often think that people who go through long periods of particularly acute heinosities are actually being prepared for great things to come........

NICOLA!!!!!!!!!! Alan will soon be stateside!!!!!!! woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So exciting!!!!!!!!!

Amanda - so glad Landen's feeling better!

Well sillies - - Weezee and I are heading to dog park.......................and Kissey arrives at 6. I'm taking him to dinner.

BTW I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of cooking and I"m SICK Of all my food............ want new and easy and fabulous things................ BAH!!!!!!!! I just want to order a freaking PIZZA sometimes! (know you can all relate)

bye for now sillies!

[elye]

All right!!

We're back in business telecommunications-wise. The Great HonoUrable Bell Canada had one of their techies here at 9:30 (supposed to be between 12 and 6--good thing someone was here), and he scurried up our outside pole and fiddled around for twenty minutes. He was extremely attractive...a nice bonus, and was absolutely SMIITEN with Gus. Yes, quite lovely all around....smoldering blue eyes, five-o'clock shadow, square chin, six-foot two-ish....

Anyways!! Where was I?!

When I called Bell yesterday, the man I spoke to, I am certain, was not only East Indian, but in India. Apparently this is happening now--cheaper to farm out the calls to developing and third world countries...bizarre. And as per usual, this agent struggled to understand me, and I was constantly correcting his verb tenses and vocabulary usage.

So! It's all good now....

Have you ever noticed that when you sign up for a Bell service you talk to a very kind, helpful, clearly native speaker of English, but when you need to call for help once you've already signed up you get someone much more difficult to understand and who may not really be understanding you either.

Yep!

Bell Canada can be a royal pain in the @$ at times.

True!! And there is no competition for customer service/repair....not good.

OK trying Title Search on cablebox .. . ..bah nothin .. . .online will have to wait. I didn't get far on desk de-cluttering.

Get that PC set up, Ptaum!

....Mygawd...coffee fabricated from the digestive process of a cat....Must tell Jack about this, as that is exactly the kind of thing he finds fascinating...

Saying that I hit her is like saying to someone you just shot, "Hey! You just hit my bullet!"

Sarah, I am SO SORRY this happened to you. You are such a strong girl to be rollin' with all this....

Better times are FOR SURE ahead.....

I cannot believe that nobody else stopped to be official witnesses, and likely that is why no one did...they just cannot be bothered.

Ok, dropped of my little coeliac at Gatwick yesterday......(they are not flying 'til 2.15pm TODAY....they stayed at the airport hotel last night)

We met the other kids,parents and of course Alan's carer....oh, and the nurse and the doctor who'll be going too

Nikki!!! YAY!!! This is such a WONDERFUL story. How great this is for Al, and you!! Let us know when he calls you!

When we were there, if a kid dropped an ice cream in the street, immediately, an elf appeared to clean it up--they are good!

Mygawd....a magic elf? I want one of those! Cleans up spills....

Wonder if he could fix my phone line when down?

[nikki-uk]

OMG!!!! MUMBAI CALL CENTRES!!!!!.the bane of my life BUT....

EMILY'S BACK!!!!!!!!

Oh mygawd!!...thought she may still have been in the forumless abyss (no-one can hear you scream)

I was even beginning to wonder just what Emily would do to while away the hrs sans silly.

....maybe watch T.V .....read a book ?? (does anyone here remember how???) OR <shudder> clear out the wardrobes closets

Thankfully she is back in the bosom of the nutty brethrin

.....your bad streak has GOT to end soon. You know, I often think that people who go through long periods of particularly acute heinosities are actually being prepared for great things to come........

I couldn't agree more with this life seems to go like that

.NICOLA!!!!!!!!!! Alan will soon be stateside!!!!!!! woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So exciting!!!!!!!!!

Yes indeed sillies......watch yourselves!! - there will be a son of a Brit silly arriving on your continent roughly 7pm Eastern time

.BTW I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of cooking and I"m SICK Of all my food............ want new and easy and fabulous things................ BAH!!!!!!!! I just want to order a freaking PIZZA sometimes! (know you can all relate)

OMG - yes, yes AND yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the time we got back from the airport yesterday we was tired and v. hungry and how bloomin' luvverly would it been to have had a pizza....or KFC....wait.......battered fish and chips.......

NEEEEEARRRRGGGGHHHHHhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH BTW !!!- Our Yeti is actually hooking up with Al on Monday ....GAD he loves Disney

[tom]

Bah!! Emotibusted!!

Part 1

This chick turned right on red. . ....

.. . ..

It just eats me up the way people will just jump right out LYING like that. It stuns me. .. . .

1st sentence is, hopefully, 90% of the path to proof. The instant LYING is indeed a sad stunner, and makes one wonder about people.

Glad no one was hurt.

"Hey! You just hit my bullet!"

Also 'our' borough Mayor was there to meet the kids and the press were there to take photos

I fink this should mean we'll get an url for a send-off pic??

AMANDA!!!!!!! What's up w/ the alleged Weggie's flyer featuring a Silly?????????????????????????

Alan hit it off straight away with his carer...when we left he was larking about with him

Alan said to me ''I'll be back in 2 weeks Mum....promise'' *sniff*

Heehee

Always amused by the Britishisms - "straight away" . ..."larking about" .. ..are ya sure he didn't say "fortnight" ?

Landen got his silly back!!! :)

[tom]

In 2003, I was sitting at a light in my town right after work like normal....when the light turned, the huge flatbed truck in front of me rolled backward and I sat there as my car crumpled in front of me.

my oh MY that had to be SCAAAAAAAARYyyyyyyyyyyy!!

hope you're better today Thaugham......

ack!! A NEW ONE after all these months/pages??? Tzu-xieQueue's been holdin' out!

And yes, I was pretty good for a few hrs yesterday and better today.

Yeah, where IS our yeti anyway? Have we just left him atop Murphy Ridge, untended and forgotten?

:lol: You are exactly right, and it was goign to take too much time - maybe 3 or 4 seconds - to figure it out.......

I *WAS* right!! Once the thought somehow came to mind, it wouldn't leave!!

(Then I had to consult a dik-shun-air-ee to make sure *I* had it right .. . ..it'd be too embarrassing to make such an accusation then misspell connoisseur myself! )

BTW I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of cooking and I"m SICK Of all my food............ want new and easy and fabulous things.......

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh . .. .

....Mygawd...coffee fabricated from the digestive process of a cat....Must tell Jack about this, as that is exactly the kind of thing he finds fascinating...

Yes, and see if he can put a price on what it'd take to consume ONLY beverages which have previously passed through another being.

Yes indeed sillies......watch yourselves!! - there will be a son of a Brit silly arriving on your continent roughly 7pm Eastern time

Ahh 4pm, PST - I'll be sure to think of him.

OH BTW !!!- Our Yeti is actually hooking up with Al on Monday

Fan-******-tastic!!!!!!

[blueeyedmanda]

\Amanda,

So happy to hear Landon is feeling better! Enjoy this beautiful day--it gets colder tomorrow

It is going to be cold like all next week...what is with that....its like a tease I tell you. So I bought a High chair, in very good clean condition at Salvation Army today for 4.99 so we had a place for Landen now that he is eating food. It is too much trouble lugging hers up and down between the houses. I washed it all up.

My parents just left, had a very nice day with them as well. Such a gorgeous day out....rain tomorrow though. We had one heck of a T-storm last night as well.

I am typing to my fellow sillies from my balcony right now, I am spread on the lawn chairs and I stretched out my DSL wire so I can get the net....wireless is not working Aww this is the life sillies!

Landen got his silly back!!! :)

Tom- The weggies flyer is up in the air, I have not been in it yet, but hopefully soon, I sent the photo release back to them last month. I am not sure how long it takes to get those pictures inserted into the papers themselves. I will make sure everyone knows though.

So glad Landen is silly again, he was so much fun last night!

[jerseyangel]

BTW I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of cooking and I"m SICK Of all my food............ want new and easy and fabulous things................ BAH!!!!!!!! I just want to order a freaking PIZZA sometimes! (know you can all relate)

bye for now sillies!

I hear ya on that girlfriend! What I wouldn't give, after a day of painting or working outside or whatever to call and order a pizza or something I really think that's the thing I miss the most....

He was extremely attractive...a nice bonus, and was absolutely SMIITEN with Gus. Yes, quite lovely all around....smoldering blue eyes, five-o'clock shadow, square chin, six-foot two-ish....

Anyways!! Where was I?!

Kinda makes it almost worth all the inconvenience, those hunky repairmen Glad you're back on line!

Thankfully she is back in the bosom of the nutty brethrin

Yes indeed sillies......watch yourselves!! - there will be a son of a Brit silly arriving on your continent roughly 7pm Eastern time

Nikki said "bosom"

I'll be thinking of our A this evening! Gosh, he lands in about 4 hours!

And yes, I was pretty good for a few hrs yesterday and better today.

Ptathumn is gettin his sillie back!

Tom- The weggies flyer is up in the air, I have not been in it yet, but hopefully soon, I sent the photo release back to them last month. I am not sure how long it takes to get those pictures inserted into the papers themselves. I will make sure everyone knows though.

So glad Landen is silly again, he was so much fun last night!

When it finally comes out, I'm going to pick it up in Warrington

Have fun with that silly baby I take it you are teaching him the fine points of silliness?

[blueeyedmanda]

Have fun with that silly baby I take it you are teaching him the fine points of silliness?

Of course! John and I are his adopted Aunt and Uncle, what kind of Aunt would I be not teaching him all the good stuff, hopefully we will get to the park tonight.

[tom]

I am typing to my fellow sillies from my balcony right now, . ... . .. this is the life sillies!

And I'm on the balcony typing too!!

Just got a real table to replace the p.o.s. wheeled shelfy thing we've been using. Free, off of craigslist.

BTW, has anyone seen how ridiculous the personal ads are there? Oh .. .I suppose not.

Anyway, the VAST majority of women-seeking-men, of course are spammy b.s., but what's TRULY ridic is that whenever one seems real, it's 'flagged for removal' for reasons unknown, by a bunch of jackasses who click on some obviously-abused Feature.

Almost every time I've looked there are new Rants about how useless that part of craigslist is, because a few morons get the legit ads removed w/ a few clicks & zero accountability.

Kinda makes it almost worth all the inconvenience, those hunky repairmen

You 2 are 2 for 2 this week!!

Now why have *I* never ONCE had a hot chickadee come by to fix anything???????????????

Ptathumn is gettin his sillie back!

aNOTHER new ik-kwip-seh spelling! hehe good one P
