Well, I don't think you get to say anything about the pants jockey's since you've got an av of a pig using a bat to cover his unmentionables!!

Gein-knit!!...that's just your take on my av

I don't mind telling people how old I am, I just can't remember and have to stop and do the mathS.

Well exactly!!...easier just to think of a suitable number AND stick with it.

This has been the most incredible weekend--perfect weather, one son came to visit (wonderful surprise) and the other home safe and sound. Another room painted. Life is good

Aw Patti

Weather is ATROCIOUS here today.......pouring with rain...NO let up

I have just spent MANY hours tinkering with my new mobile cell phone that Terry got me for my birthday..........

Dear Gaaawd ......... just WHY would a phone have so many functions???????

GAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

<poor wee acohol soaked brain can nae take it>

On a lesser technical matter I bought some 'dryer balls' (for the clothes dryer)

Do they really cut drying time?

and if so

How?

Happy Memorial Day Sillies!

Sorry I haven't checked in but I was suffering with a nasty headache Saturday and then yesterday once we got Landen we headed to John's families picnic. Landen was a huge hit there.

This morning, John got word a good friend of his was killed in a car accident last night. So we have not gotten a chance to sit down and talk.

We are heading down to ArtsFest in a little bit with his brother and Jen and Landen. It is down Harrisburg on the river, it is nice. So much to see.

I will let you guys all know as soon as I get some news of my prediciment.

Thanks for all your thoughts!!!!

Nikki said "dryer balls"

I think they work by separating the clothes as they spin in the dryer, helping them dry faster and softer. They're sold here as natural fabric softeners. I've been thinking about trying them--let me know how you like them

Happy Memorial Day Sillies!

Happy Memorial Day Amanda--and everybody

Have a fun time today, Amanda--and keep us posted.

How come I can see Emily's new av but not Susie's? Why does everyone else see it??? I feel like I am in the twilight zone!!!! Am I existing only 1/2 way in the present, while part of me is still hovering in an alternate dimension of the past???

What does it mean???? ......I know , this is some kind of cruel joke.....There really IS NO NEW AV for Susie!!!!.....Where's the camera??? Where"s Alan Fundt (sp) .......oops, now I'm dating myself .......

Me mum used to celebrate anniversaries of her 39th birthday. I don't mind telling people how old I am, I just can't remember and have to stop and do the mathS.

I LOVE telling people how old I am. But how much I weigh? Ha!

Yes, dryer balls.....they are interesting fings...

Drier than what? Or should I say whose?

You're having a terrific weekend, Patti!

Lisa.....hmmmm. Cannot see a new av. Is it something specifically about YOU? Ya know, people scattering when you show... .Perhaps some maths will solve this, as you are Mathy.

All kidding aside (Mygawd, Heaven forbid!!) - - if you hit F5 when you've got the unchanged av on your screen, that should change it.

HA! NO maths involved!! (((whewwwww))).... ..

[elye]

Almost forgot! Jess: Snot and mucous update, puh-leeze!

[DingoGirl]

.....OMGAAAAWWWWDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M BAAAAAAACK!!!!!!

Why does Weezee have a pair of blokes pants jockey's on 'er head???

them aren't jockeys.......'tis her new......burka....... (sp?)

NICOLA!!!!!!!!!! you made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sotted girl..........nice to see you again!!!!!!

They look something...Drugged? Restful? Actually, they are in three-quarter view...almost a profile. I think those visages could be on a coin. Yes, the newest entry into Canada's already coin-laden currency...Queen Liz in her spot on one side, and NO! Not an Inuit sculpture, or moose, or Houses of Parliament, on the other - - but a Regal Poodle Head.

this is a GRAND idea.......you must begin a petition, gather signatures, take yer standards all around on the campaign.............

Ptaoughmhmn!! Um....how do you fail a popcorn test? Must you count the number of kernels in a huge jar? Must you pass a cup of unpopped kernels within a couple of hours? Keep none from sticking between yer teef? (Ugh, I'd fail that one, fo sho')... Is it MATHS of some sort?! Gahhhhhhhhhhh.....

*snort* dat was FUNNY!!!!!!!!!

Weather is ATROCIOUS here today.......pouring with rain...NO let up

I have just spent MANY hours tinkering with my new mobile cell phone that Terry got me for my birthday..........

Dear Gaaawd ......... just WHY would a phone have so many functions???????

the RAIN.......................oh so PERRRRRRRFECT nicola.........hey, maybe we should do a house swap......you can stay her in Stepford (oh - NEW edict? they are mandating removal of nearly all the trees/ privets in the commune...................... Please please please please don't even let me get started on this - - OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG - - I"m moving - - have got to move.......... )

Anywho - NOT cuttin' me trees down, that is fo' shizzle....... :diabolicallymadface:

and speaking of Stepford - - I am taking care of the devil dog and PHORGOT to put the key out for her cleaning ladies this mornign.............oh dear gawd........I am dreading making the phone call to her, to try adn get their phone number, and call them (in broken Spanish)...........she already thinks I"m the biggest boob alive..........

oh and indeed, why WOULD a cell phone need so many functions? this is a topic of much discussion in my life.......you should SEE Kissey's cell phone(s).........dear gawd - -

How come I can see Emily's new av but not Susie's? Why does everyone else see it??? I feel like I am in the twilight zone!!!! Am I existing only 1/2 way in the present, while part of me is still hovering in an alternate dimension of the past???

Oh! - and the other day, I explained poor cairns to Kissey - -

[curlyfries]

I LOVE telling people how old I am.

Me too! It's a sneaky way to get compliments! I also routinely mention my age around the middle school kids to keep the hormonal pubescent boys at arm's length.

Whew!!!..Thanks Ehmehleigh!!! All of Sillyville are in the same dimension once again!

[curlyfries]

Where did everybody go?

[elye]

Whew!!!..Thanks Ehmehleigh!!! All of Sillyville are in the same dimension once again!

Actually, Leighsagh, if you ever wish to enter not another dimension, but another time (as I do when I commit some ridiculous act or, more commonly, say words just too over the top, and I want to just go back in time and erase it from known history), there is rumoured to be what's referred to around here as a Magic Triangle......

Still haven't found it... ..on the keyboard, in my house, at work, in the air.. ..

OMG. . ..if there were such a thing......

[nikki-uk]

BUSTED EMOTICONAGE!!!! (:angry face:)

Nikki said "dryer balls"

I did didn't I (:cheeky smile:)

I knew it would brighten up your holiday Monday!!!

....no noticable speedier drying of clothes to report as yet

I feel like I am in the twilight zone!!!! Am I existing only 1/2 way in the present, while part of me is still hovering in an alternate dimension of the past???

Well *I* feel like that MOST days BUT the ole F5 should reveal a doggy with PANTS (Brit meaning only)

Most coloUrful PANTS they are too!!

them aren't jockeys.......'tis her new......burka....... (sp?)

I think the terminology is 'hijab', (Burkha is full coverage)

TRES CHIC!!!!!!

the RAIN.......................oh so PERRRRRRRFECT nicola.........hey, maybe we should do a house swap......you can stay her in Stepford (oh - NEW edict? they are mandating removal of nearly all the trees/ privets in the commune......................

Anywho - NOT cuttin' me trees down, that is fo' shizzle....... :diabolicallymadface:

OMG!! I would swap tomorrow as I HATE THE RAIN!!

Maybe London rain is different to Californian ..... 'cos mine feels like a pervading dampness in your bones

Having been in Spain when it's very dry and hot I can appreciate how you might crave it.......but it's just SO damp here no matter what

sillies - - have gorged myself like a weed-eating pig all weekend - - eaten myself into a sluggish coma...........help meeeeeee.......there is a gluten-free black forest frozen tort thingy from Trader Joe's...............Oh my gaaaaaaaaawd

Is that like the African Tweedle Pig...... ... I always get those two mixed up

...but yeah!! I hear you on the gorging of illicit calorie laden alcoholic fluids foods ... .. .wait BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and the coma, OMG!! The COMA!!!! <shaking head>)

DAMN!! ...T'is 'weigh in' at me slimming club tomorrow

There's no help for me now

Oh! - and the other day, I explained poor cairns to Kissey - -

The secret location of the Magic Triangle has, I believe, previously been posted in this thread. It would be spamming the board to repeat it, now wouldn't it? Just start at the beginning and read carefully, paying particular attention to posts by males.

Sort of like the Magic Eraser? (do they have those in Canada?)......It magically erases dirt and grime....I see a correlation here.....life's dirty little secrets.....erasing the grime we don't want people to notice...hmmm.... Maybe a trip to the supermarket is in order

[Jestgar]

Lyle's still mad about the intruders, but somehow it's no longer my fault. Still keeping them separated. Maxi's cold is pretty bad, can't breathe through his nose, means continuous open mouth breathing and continuous sticky drool. Rotates sleeping spot from basket to couch (if I'm there) to under the computer desk. Leaves a puddle of drool wherever he is. He seems better today, eyes not so gummy, not sneezing and coughing as much. As soon as I'm positive he's no longer infectious I'll stop keeping the critters separate.

Lefty and the roommate adore each other (this was my secret plan). Lefty loves to be held; roomie loves to hold cats. Yesterday Lefty had the full-on sacked-out sprawl going on his lap and roomie just kept remarking on how cute he was. Lefty is slowly learning that I don't care for cats putting their wet noses on my neck (I'm allergic, get a big, red, nose-shaped welt). Hopefully he'll learn to settle for keeping his face out of my hair. Unfortunately he loves to put his arms around your neck and give you a big soggy hug. Might have to learn to accept one hug before moving him down.

Awwwww...I think I'm in love with Lefty!

[nikki-uk]

JESS!!!!

You MUST accept The hug

Oh, well, yes, I see........I think I would hate the rain, too, if I lived w/ this pervading dampness constantly. My friend Linda, originally from S. Africa but then - maybe 15 years in London? - lives here.....had a friend from England (who is now my friend ) come stay for a month, in JULY. (a distinct version of hell, to be sure - Fresno in July - mygawd.) This gal, Pam, was OUT OF HER MIND for the heat.......soaked it up like a lizard.........Nicola would probably feel the same........

Our rain is......different.............more of a relief than anything. A holiday w/ rain - - since I no longer am climbing and requiring dry rocks - - I AM OUT OF MY MIND WITH GLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eh??

Cairns??

oops - see, there' s a typo now, which I can't correct (must petition Skaught to lengthen editing time by a day or two).....I wrote "poor cairns" when I clearly meant POOP cairns. Don't y'all remember Annie's wee cairns, when she pooped in the same exact location 3 - 4 days in a row at the cabin, and they were piled atop themselves...... Poop cairns.

Yes, if only the Magic Erase could fix my Loser mistake of not leaving the key for Stepford's cleaners this morning. I tried to call the people - - number didn't work - - I"m afraid to call Stepford back and tell her this............ohhhhhhhhhhhhh dear

Jess's kitty-loves Yes, Jess, ACCEPT THE HUGS............... what????????? allergic to kitty nose? I would die...........love their noses, especially when they're warm and black (like my dead Cookster cat's)

can I just sleep all day? any reason not to? Kissey wants me to go over and watch him fix his car.....dear gawd...........I think I"ll say I'm coming and then.........just............not show up............. sleep here........laze around............eat more..................start the beverages around 3 or 4.........

HI JUDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DingoGirl]

So sillies.........

am wondering what to do about mishap w/ Stepford. Shall I go and clean her whole house myself (which is not even remotely dirty, since the cleaners come every two weeks, and she doesn't cook over there, and it looks like no one lives there, anyway ) or.........when she hands me the $40, shall I just hand back half of it to her? I mean......I PHAILED in my job - simply leaving the key out for the gals..........

so I called Stepford, got the number to call the cleaning ladies, and it doesn't work. some sort of Evil Magic Triangle is going on - - I dial a "3" for the first number, adn it automatically dials a "2" ( I got the same woman three times) so......I can't even successfully call the people.........

I'm skairt of Stepford. It's one thing to be an irresponsible, dingo-brained eejit w/ your OWN things, and another thing to mess up someone else's stuff..........

It's official, between this and the razing of all the trees, I have to move.

[psawyer]

I don't think I need to go back to figure that one out !

Is somebody's mind in the gutter? Twas Tom who first mentioned this device, and I recall posting a clarification about. It is a relative of <control>Z, another useful device.

I use the Magic Triangle very phrequently.

Wait, I just reread your statement. The Magic Triangle is all about going back.

[elye]

Maybe London rain is different to Californian ..... 'cos mine feels like a pervading dampness in your bones

We have fairly lovely rain, here, but that doesn't mean we escape the humidity....Peter can vouch for this. I think people are very surprised when they visit southern Ontario and expect a pleasant, temperate, mild summer. The humidity can be simply murderous - - we have what is called a HUMIDEX, which is the temperature with the humidity factored in. July and August often have strings of days where we are at 38 celcius wif dat humidex.....

Hmmmm.......A magic one, you say?

Sort of like the Magic Eraser? (do they have those in Canada?)......

Gahhh!! The Magic Eraser......

Lisa, you would not believe the experience I have had with erasers and things that are.. ..changing....needing to be erased.. ..rather a long story, but I'll simply say that if you just keep on erasing, trying to fix the changes, you'll end up with a big dark smudge. It is a profound life lesson, apparently.. .. .

Ohhhhhh, Jess! Lefty has indeed stolen all of our hearts. He needs a lot of love. SO glad he's found you and roomie!

so I called Stepford, got the number to call the cleaning ladies, and it doesn't work. some sort of Evil Magic Triangle is going on - - I dial a "3" for the first number, adn it automatically dials a "2" ( I got the same woman three times) so......I can't even successfully call the people.........

Susie!! What is going on? This is bizarre.. . telephone numbers that will not dial.. .Won't register a "3", but instead, a "2".. ..

Hmmmm......The "3" is on the right side of the phone pad, is it NOT?! Gaaaaahhhh......

[elye]

Whoop! There's a newbie name!! How long. .. . how long.. ..should be gone any sec now.....

Will she be back before the next cleaning? If so, I think you probably will have to suck it up and clean her house, since she will probably still be charged for it. And trust me....people with immaculate houses can tell when it hasn't been cleaned. Or....on second thought.....fess up and ask her what you can do to make it right.....cuz if her house is that perfect, you run the risk of doing something wrong.... in her eyes at least.

OR.....how quick can you come down with a serious illness?....(sympathy card)

...or amnesia....

...or a coma.... .................

[jerseyangel]

It's official, between this and the razing of all the trees, I have to move.

Aw Soosee.....

Do not go and clean her house--it was an honest mistake

How cute is David in Weezie's head gear You two goofs are perphect for each other!

[curlyfries]

Souseigh....forgot to mention your newest av......maybe you could just show Stepford that pic......sympathy card after all...("poor girl...I shouldn't have expected so much of her....she's already got her hands full")
