Got my boy back & all is right in the world!!!

Yippee! A is back--and with ginormus shorts....well good for him!! Sounds like a good long nap is in order

....if the inseam measures 30 inches, they are the yeti's, for certain.

...and Emily should know...

[Green12]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD!!!!!!!! Hope you have a great birthday.........come back to us!!!!!

Okay......Guess what I'm rendering here:

Why, it's a happy liver! Trying to get a positive vibe going for all you enzyme-challenged...

Are you sure? Looks like one of those giant turkey legs you get at amusement parks, fairs, and flea markets

.........or a gee-tar

I could use a happy liver, maybe mine will be inspired by your rendering here!

Got my boy back & all is right in the world!!!

Yay Nikki, glad your boy is home safe and sound!!

I am sure it will take some time to adjust post-Disney

On the ^{Road Again} . ...

<new av>

I should have you over for dinner.

[jerseyangel]

Hi Phataum--Are you on your way back? If so, how was it?

[CarlaB]

I saw it was Richard's b-day and wanted to see if he popped in ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD!

[psawyer]

Gee, it is quiet here today.

Regarding the Toronto transit strike, the Legislature met in emergency session at 1:30 today and unanimously passed the back-to-work bill, and at 2:45 it was signed into law by the Lt-Governor. Service began resuming a little after five, and most service is running now. The Monday morning commute will be as normal as it ever is.

(For those who may wonder, in Canada the Lieutenant Governor of a province represents Her Majesty in that province--there is no Governor. There is a Governor-General who represents the Crown to the federal government and to Canada as a whole.)

Happy birthday, Richard, if you are here. If not, we are all celebrating our founder's birthday in absentia.

Carry on!

[blueeyedmanda]

Happy Birthday Richard!!!! Wish you could be with all your favorite sillies!

We spent the day celebrating Russian Easter with John's family.

Landen is not with us tonight, he is with his grandparents who came in from Michigan! They haven't seen him in months.

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies....I hope you like dark dreary rainy monday's cause that is what we have on tap! I struggled to get out of bed and then out of the house....and its chilly too! Blah Monday!!!!!!

How is everyone doing this morning?

[elye]

Good Morning, Sillies.....

I am pleased that it was as quiet as it was here yesterday, as I was so busy that I would have had a lot more to catch up on. You know how you rush about like an idiot, multitasking and then doing one big job right after another, and then suddenly think, "Okay! NOW I can throw myself on a deck chair and read some of the paper before I need to start supper"....and you look at the clock, at it's 5:30? Gawd...that was me.

A very important, culminating appointment for Sophie today at the prosthedontist (maker of dental veneers, caps, implants, etc.) She had a horrific accident in September 2004 at her school. The story is enough to make one need to sit down - - it's that bad, and long, so perhaps I shall tell it when I've got the time to sit here and type. Anyways, the school was liable and we have a big insurance claim underway, and this may be one of the final specialist appointments and work to be done. To the tune of $$$$$$$$$$$.........

(For those who may wonder, in Canada the Lieutenant Governor of a province represents Her Majesty in that province--there is no Governor. There is a Governor-General who represents the Crown to the federal government and to Canada as a whole.)

Oracle Peter, thank you for this. I'm a good Canuck, but have never quite understood all of our bureaucratic positions, their respective jobs, and frankly, their necessity. The good Queen has all sorts of individuals representing her, doesn't she? No wonder she hardly ever comes over here...she doesn't need to! Do we have a Royal Representative municipally, as well? I am certain the position is there....gad, we have representatives of The Oskwegee Sump Pump Coalition er sumfin', so the Queen must be represented somehow...

[jerseyangel]

Oh Emily--sounds terrible, what happened to Sophie I take it she's ok now, though, right? I'm happy for you both that she's nearing the end of her specialist appointments and the work she has had done. Poor thing--sounds like she's really been through a lot.

And...what are we????The Bobsy twins??? I had a day yesterday that I could have described the same way! Looked up and it was like 6:30! Got lots done and even had a nice visit our oldest All in all a good day

[Mtndog]

Hallo Sillies!!!!!!!!!! It seems like weeks With my brain, it probably has been. I'm not feeling very funny these days.....de-pressed. And my right hand, which I know is NOT, feels broken. It's one of the worst pains I've ever felt. I am sure it is some wackl Lyme bacteria but good God............I need absinthe STAT!!!!!!!!!

OK- on the brighter side I am fostering a wee love bug named Sadie (see new avatar). She is so sweet and she and Angus are madly in love! They kiss constantly. It's good as Kurt is leaving for New Orleans (Jazz Fest) on Wednesday for 6 days.

[jerseyangel]

Hi Bev

Good to hear from you--but not that you're feeling so yucky

Sadie's so cute! Aw--she and Angus are in Yep--you ought to have your hands full with them while Kurt's gone, so hopefully the time will go by fast

[Mtndog]

Hi Bev

Sadie's so cute! Aw--she and Angus are in Yep--you ought to have your hands full with them while Kurt's gone, so hopefully the time will go by fast

She is so sweet!! I picked her up on Saturday and the first thing she tried to do was jump UP me and kiss me. She was all over my nieces yesterday.

I want someone I know to adopt her so Angus can still have his girlfriend!!!!!! :wub:

[blueeyedmanda]

Sillies, my coworkers sister won the Cash 5 lottery here in PA on Friday 378,000.

[elye]

Bev!! What a beeeeeooooootiful dog Sadie is.....Mygawd, how on earth will you be able to give her away? It would be SO tough for me to be doggie foster-mom. I would just keep them all, and have twenty three dogs at the end of a year.

Hope you're feeling better soon, Bev.

WOW! I never win ANYTHING........

Well, Sophie's appointment went well, just more paper to add to the already huge file on her accident that we'll be presenting to the school board fairly soon...

In September '04, during the first week of school, Sophie, then 12, was outside for her gym class. This day was 94 degrees and blisteringly humid. They were doing football drills. Sophie asked to go in and get water, and the teacher said no, they'd be all going in shortly. Sophie asked again ten minutes later, and was again not let in to get water. Finally, they all were told to head inside. Sophie rushed in to the water fountain, by this time dying of thirst and weak, and there was already a big lineup at the fountain. She asked the teacher if she could go to the fountain down the hallway, and the teacher said, "No. Stay in this line, please".

And that's all Sophie remembers.

She woke up on the floor, blood everywhere. She'd passed out due to a sudden blood-pressure drop, due to lack of hydration. Her four front teeth were completely smashed in and hanging. The braces she'd just had put on, fortunately, kept her teeth from being all over the floor.

I got called, and went to the school. No ambulance had been called. Just me.

So, the story meanders on from there, but she's had all the teeth reset, splinted, filed down and root canalled. We're now getting estimates on what can be expected in years to come, because the claim can only continue for five years.

My poor kid. But she's been AMAZING through it all. SO brave, it's astonishing. Thank gawd, because I've often been a mess.....

Not Sillyville stuff AT ALL!

We need to hear from Susie and her meeting with Kissey Familials....and Ptaoughmn's road trip....and Janet's flying squirrels!

[Jestgar]

WTH!! I say we start flinging flying squirrels at that teacher.

[Darn210]

So who's the Queen's representative here??? Would that be Nikki? Nikki, what have you been telling her about us?

WOW!!!! Unbelievable . . . glad Sophie's been doing well with it. If you would have left them all out, it probably would have done wonders for her hockey career!!! Talk about intimidating!!

Amanda - well that's the closest I've come to knowing somebody who's won a lottery . . . So it'll go sumfin like . . . I have a friend who I've never met who works with someone whose sister won the lottery!!!!

OK, tomorrow is the big day . . . I have to read my nomination letter at the big nurses luncheon . . . NOT big as in they all weigh over 250lbs but big as in it's suppose to be about 1000 people. Yeah!!! you heard me!!!! ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not that I'm panicking or anything.

Bev, cute little love bug you got there.

You're funny!

Don't be nervous....deep breaths...funny I did well in public speaking.....

[tom]

Hello hello silly ones,

Ugh I'm still tuckered out from the drive back. Grrrrr 350miles & never a break from traffic.

Fun time there tho!! :D

The kids' production of H.S. Musical was too too cute & spending time w/ Teresa & the girls was long overdue.

They moved 3yrs ago but it comes to mind all the time that I wish they all still lived here.

Nikki's Son of a Silly has returned!!

Did he have a favoUrite part? Disneyworld has to be 1st guess.

Sarah - great Ezra Bday pic

EMBARRASSING MEDICAL EXAMS

Em & Yeti's inseam

[jerseyangel]

My God Emily--that is truly awful...the whole thing is just unspeakable, really. To withold water, let alone on such a hot day, is inhuman to say the least.

I'm happy to hear that the appt. went well and she is through with all of this--she sounds like a real trooper, and boy, I know what you mean when you say she was brave and you were a mess

Sophie's better'n new choppers

[jerseyangel]

Sillies, my coworkers sister won the Cash 5 lottery here in PA on Friday 378,000.

Wow Congrats to her!

Fun time there tho!! :D

Glad you had a good time! Now get some rest!

[elye]

Janet's done it again! A beautiful shot of you and Bev - - now we're getting to see the REAL you - - Mrs. Chong.......

So who's the Queen's representative here??? Would that be Nikki? Nikki, what have you been telling her about us?

I would think that Sillyville's Monarchal Representative is whoever the current Monarch is. Who in hell IS it right now....?....Did Patti in fact usurp the Silly it had been, whom I cannot presently remember? Was it Jess? Sarah? Crap.....

We never solved that two-page discrepancy...Actually, perhaps we should ask Queen Elizabeth II how she would handle the problem were it to transpire within the Windsor dynasty. We'll let her rule it. Nikki, could you drop a line to Liz and ask her what her course of action would be if two pages of her Royal Life were censored, and her life's dates were all moved back, and someone else consequently had rights to the throne...it's a toughie - - she may need a few days.

WOW!!!! Unbelievable . . . glad Sophie's been doing well with it. If you would have left them all out, it probably would have done wonders for her hockey career!!! Talk about intimidating!!

I hear you....intimidating for approaching hockey players. And potential boyfriends.

OK, tomorrow is the big day . . . I have to read my nomination letter at the big nurses luncheon . . . NOT big as in they all weigh over 250lbs but big as in it's suppose to be about 1000 people. Yeah!!! you heard me!!!! ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not that I'm panicking or anything.

1000 people!!!!

Just remember....they're all naked...they're all naked....all naked....

[DingoGirl]

After 800 posts according to rumour, you can experience strange after effects. I don't think it will be itching burning or swelling symptoms, as to me that sounds far too much like gluten poisoning. It has to be something that strengthens the character, as to post that many posts means someone is quite tenacious and determined.

Yes, we are tenacious sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't Yeti Scat one of the new eye bronzing shades in the EM Summer Line?

The BWAHAHAHA Triangle?

Don't mind me, just having fun with emoticons

OMG - love your emoticon triangle............AND Em's liver!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<saving emoticon space here - am too tired to get busted>

Well, since my cover has been blown . . . here is the real picture of me and Bev and Panera's. Thanks to Bev and Carla for keeping my secret all this time but since Will the cat who is apparently crapping in my yard is out of the bag,I guess there is no longer a reason to carry on with the ruse.

ohhhhhhh..........ma............gawwwwwwwd.............. :lol: now THAT is too funny!!!!!!!!!! Janet is a complete nut........

These are really scary looking things, harmless, bite just a wee bit, but I always do a double take when I see them.

Cathy

a DOUBLE-TAKE?????????????????????? um.........that would give me nothing short of a heart attack, I assure you.........absolutely horrifying - biters or no - - just the way they LOOK - - <erase erase erase ERASE from brain>

OK - I shall stop boring you all now .....much washing of clothes to do!!!!!

boring???????????? not a'tall, you nitwit!!!!!!!!!! I LURVE hearing how Alan has viewed our world through his eyes! warmed the cockles o' me 'eart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad he lurved it.........

OK- on the brighter side I am fostering a wee love bug named Sadie (see new avatar). She is so sweet and she and Angus are madly in love! They kiss constantly. It's good as Kurt is leaving for New Orleans (Jazz Fest) on Wednesday for 6 days.

OMG - look at Sadie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ohhhhhhhhhhhhh can you post of photo of them kissing? so excited that Dingus has found love but - - - they canNOT be separated!!!!!!!!!! You MUST keep Sadie!!!!!!!

Emily - OMG - Sophie's collapse at school - -

Simply horrifying........and they did not call an ambulance? ridiculous......glad this saga is almost over for her, but what a shame.

Amanda - can you get soem of that lottery money for a silly reunion?

OMG sillies - - exhausting weekend - lots of piano and furniture moving (we borrowed a truck and trailer) and a big hike on Sunday in hot weather - barbecue Friday night at Kissey's - - Susie is KNACKERED. Thank Gawd, Kissey has left for Arizona today, back Thursday, and I can sleep and recover. Weezee is so tuckered out - nary a peep from her.

Met David's sister on Saturday, it was quite a good visit. All went well, I kept my tourette's under control and practiced my inside voice. :lol: We ate at a gluten-free bakery, and I have about $50 worth of their products, including four pizza crusts, in my freezer.

A bit nerve-shattering driving three hours home w/ an ORANGE piano on yer trailer (yes, they painted it orange-ish ), but we did it.

Last night, I met mini-Kissey. He played his computer death-game the whole time. Um, he's 13 - that's what they do. So - that was okay also.

Sillies - I forgot what else - - I am sooooooooooooooooo tired - - hot weekend here and even in the Bay Area and - - - I suspect I"m slightly dehydrated.

More later sillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blueeyedmanda]

Susie-if I can scab some of the money for a silly reunion would you donate the new gluten free goodies you have in your freezer to us?

[Darn210]

Susie-if I can scab some of the money for a silly reunion would you donate the new gluten free goodies you have in your freezer to us?

Ohhhh!!! That sounds like a good deal to me!!!! I shall contribute my (gluten-free) choc chip cookies (my friend in Massachusetts couldn't stay away from them) and some asian chicken lettuce wraps (a PF Changs knock-off).
