The Funny Pages - Tickle Me Elbow - The Original

[elye]

I'm batedly (is that a word?) expecting the candidiasis bloodtest results today. With my luck lately I won't hear til who-knows-when ....

As in, wif bated breath? Hmmmmm . . .....Only you could come up with an adverbial form of this expression, Ptaoughmghmn!

Just heard from Tony & I might have an interview as soon as Monday & I have to pretend to be confident that I can physically do it, tho the physical demands aren't much & would be no more than 4hrs at a time.

Still .. ..I really don't know that I can do it but I'm damn sure I have to give it my best shot.

Wow, Ptaum. . . . sounds scary, and great! At least it's part time at first, like an easing into things, perhaps. . . . . ....what will you be doing?

[tom]

Wow, Ptaum. . . . sounds scary, and great! At least it's part time at first, like an easing into things, perhaps. . . . . ....what will you be doing?

It'd be running tests & characterizations on memory chips. When I was an engineer, it's something I'd usually send a tech to do unless it req'd on-the-fly editing of the test program. But engr'g usually means 9-10hr days and no brainfog, and I'm nowhere near capable of either.

Heyyyyyy I suppose there's no chance the next 100 pages could take until Columbus Day . ....hmmm ... ..that's a shame.

[jerseyangel]

P.S. Have I ever mentioned that I've spent a decent amount of time in Wasilla AK?

Ain't touchin' that wif a 10 phoot pole

Pataghumn--hope those tests come back on schedule and you're not left hanging again.....Wow, the job interview!! Exciting, and admittedly scary at the same time. I truly wish all the best for you with it--it sounds like a fantastic opportunity to get slowly back into working. Take things one step at a time, and do the best you can--no one can expect more of you than that. I think you're gonna do just fine

[elye]

I think you're gonna do just fine

Yep, I do, too.

Wasilla.. . ......Alaska, correct?. . .. .... . . ...

Is that Palin country??

[DingoGirl]

Well, I"ll touch it then.

Was Sarah the mayor? Did you guys go kill moose together an' stuff? tell us about it, Ptaum. You owe us that.

[elye]

Sooozie! Weezie looks like she's trying to do a BIG poop in yer av......like there's a huge mound of gravel, rat skull and bean casserole to pass. . . . ....

[jerseyangel]

Sooozie! Weezie looks like she's trying to do a BIG poop in yer av......like there's a huge mound of gravel, rat skull and bean casserole to pass. . . . ....

I went back and looked--she really does!!!!

PHINALLY!!!...one of yer will be able to pronounce it!!!

Ptaum,Sarah Palin, many shades of lipstick AND a moose???? ....sounds FABULOUS!!!!!

More hideous, hideous weather...pouring with rain...and no gym class to pick me up today .......I shall sulk, eat lay around and be phat (roast lamb again in case you wanted to pop -in )

[elye]

Mornin' Nik!

Kinky Boots. . ....... . . .This sounds splendid. Is there a character in this named Nikerler? Is this how, in fact, it is pronounced? I wonder if this name is as difficult to pronounce for a francophone as "squirrel' is.. . .... ... ...

Going to watch my cousin and her kids racing in a provincial regatta today at Mooney's Bay here in Ottawa... . .rowing, paddling and kayaking. It is only supposed to get up to 12 C (50 F) today, which makes for a very chilly time on the water.

Bah, it had better not be too chilly on the shore.. . ...... . I am just NOT ready for cold weather.

Even wif me hot tub.

[blueeyedmanda]

Amanda.....Just went on the Wegmans site too ck for your pictures. Seems ages ago but I've never seen it. While there I checked out a link on gluten-free foods and they have a simple list with photos and then you can see all the ingredients. Maybe it's been there before and I missed it

Just thought I'd post as I like to see the ingred b/c a gluten-free list doesn't help me much

here it is.

hope it works.

gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :lol: :lol: :lol:

OMG - another fantastic sentence for a newbie to stumble upon

<think of the combination - rat skull, bean casserole, and gravel> *SNORT*

I went back and looked--she really does!!!!

*snigger*

Weezee's new favorite thing in the world is to go to coffee or lunch.....see, she had never been as I could never take the two dogs together - too much canine management - but now she and I go and meet phfriends rather regularly - - Weezee takes it upon herself to become the "greeter" and make friends with everyone on the patio she MUST have everyone like her.......poor, co-dependent little thing

Tom!! Let's here the moose hunt'n stories. Did you have to wear lipsticK??

what's this Kinky Boots movie? must look for it........

More hideous, hideous weather...pouring with rain...and no gym class to pick me up today .......I shall sulk, eat lay around and be phat (roast lamb again in case you wanted to pop -in )

OH! we'll be there soon.......got an extra dog wif me, is that okay? Roast lamb sounds yummy.......I want to know how to make this. What cut........how do you do it.........etc.

Last night *I* watched Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day - but only half. Quite cute so far.

Today - - -GLORIOUS crisp fall day - but no clouds. clouds and rain only for one day. but......my mom bought a tree for my back yard - - quite a bargain - a Gem Magnolia (about 12 feet tall now, will grow to 25) for forty five dollars! a special at Home Depot. (good gawd, I am not planting it, don't worry, can't even lift the thing, 'tis about 75 pounds and have enlisted Stepford's gardeners to help).

And an acquaintance now runs the Fresno State nursery, went there yesterday and she gave me a bunch of free nasturtium seedlings and stuff.......

Susie is pleased..........though I'll probably get in trouble for the tree in Stepford........and DO NOT CARE!

Must check and see if the Bulldogs lost now...... (crossing fingers)

[Green12]

is he famous? is that the Paul Gross of which Julie speaks? I dunno who he is.....

Paul Gross is a Canadian actor (maybe more famous in Canada than here? dunno, Emily or Peter would have to clarify) Did you ever watch Due South? That's probably what he is most famous for in the U.S. He played a Canadian Mountie that comes down to Chicago and works on the police force there with his side kick dog, I loved the show and Paul was so dreamy!!!

I am looking for a video on You Tube to show you and omg....don't you love all the tribute videos people put together with clips and/or pictures set to cheesy romantic balads, confessing their undying love for the actor/actress?!?!

For example (and it's a beauty ):

Hi Tom!!! Good luck with the interview, YOU CAN DO IT!!! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed and have you in my thoughts that it goes well.

Did you hear back on the candida blood test yet?

Just watched Open Original Shared Link. Great movie AND you get to learn how to say Nickerler's name!

I haven't heard of this movie before.

I checked out the link, love the Donna Summer song....is it a musical? does it involve Donna Summer music?

More hideous, hideous weather...pouring with rain...and no gym class to pick me up today .......I shall sulk, eat lay around and be phat (roast lamb again in case you wanted to pop -in )

I saw what you wrote on yer Facebook about the rain and I was going to make a Saturday Night Live reference.......but realized you might not get it

Do you guys get SNL over there?

Stay dry, and eat up!!!! (I'm jealous of your fab Sunday meals!!)

Last night *I* watched Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day - but only half. Quite cute so far.

I want to see that, the trailer looked cute.

Sounds like many of us had movie night last night I watched Mad Money with Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes, it was ok......read a magazine whilst watching if that tells you anything.

Emily, I was able to view the link of where your brother lives...it's weird it wouldn't work in the am but worked in the pm...anywho, is it sad that I zeroed in immediately on the Funnel Cakes?!?! Beautiful place!

Thanks for the links Judy!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday!!!!

Not a musical, although it has some great drag queen music numbers.

HI Susie-

Haven't written to you in awhile...you sound like you and Weezee are doing well

Your magnolia sounds so cool. Does your 'stepford' commue have paid gardners or just some neighbors helping ya?

I've been in the gardens all day cleaning up.

Since i've re done all the gardens, esp the front ones, much easier for me to keep up with and easier to navigate with my cane

[Erica94]

gasp! too many emoticons!! even cut in half!! thus the mostly lonely smileys....

sheeeeeeeesh my internet was only out for a few days!!?!! do u really have lives outside of psillyville?!

i got through page 183 or 184 and then i skipped to the last page

Or Jack's nose is actually full of duck eggs.

:lol:

HI SUSIE!! can't believe i'm the only teenager on here... hmph they're crazy

Am I the only goody two shoes here?!? Don't drink, don't smoke.......in fact, I believe Adam Ant wrote a song about me... Never got in trouble or did anything remotely that would be considered against the rules, very boring, sigh.......

NONONO! me too!! my friends always call me a goody-two shoes

You may in fact be (except for Erica, but I don't want to make any assumptions )!

Sooo, back to trying to figure out how to differentiate endotoxin contamination acting on endogenous TLR4 from a true effect of CD14/MD2 on TLR6.

Guess I'll probably be keeping the appt at the Mayo Clinic (Phx) Nov 6th.

aww poor ptaum did i miss it? did u have ur next appt? how'd it go?

I did get in trouble once in 5th grade for writing on the side of the school building with a dandelion ..........don't laugh........after all, it was the late 60's.

you can do that?! eerm... i wasn't laughing

uhm, just took a med that has gluten in it so you might have to remind me in about 48 hours that SOMEDAY I will be a semi-normal human

The crew were making fun of a whale watch boat that had a small fire earlier that day and had to be evacuated by the Coast Guard. We settle in (the only passengers) and 5 minutes later our boat caught fire.

awww... feeling better now?

[Erica94]

PART TWO!

and still, too many emoticons!! i don't thing there should be a limit

Thank goodness!! I was beginning to think I was the only one!

no i like musicals!! just uh... probably not the ones you do... my favorite is rent but last year it was high school musical and yes, i'm going to see HSM3 in theaters

Here's some Uncle Ray for ya:

The Harley-Davidson Facts !!!

CDC Alert

The Centers for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically. This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues, or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely. If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises.

Take two good friends to the nearest grocery store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

:lol:

hmmm.... i think there's a certain age requirement for those particular remedies... how about something along the lines of Curtailing Annoying Never-ending Detailed Yucky HomeWork(CANDY - H.W. edition)?? yeeeah that was pathetic and on about a 3rd-grade level - i'm not in much of a creative mood

Then she just left . . . no joking around or chatting or anything . . . she was just tired of witnessing my incompetence.

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! some very disgusting things happened today!!!!!!!

GAH!! *squirm* *gagging excessively*

it's a blonde cocker spaniel, male, almost 4 yrs old. Friend's of a friend can't keep it anymore because one of their teenagers has asthma and has become allergic to him, so they are looking for a good home to take him in.

julie she sounds adorable!!! WE WANT PICTURES

Sillies- I do not think it is pink eye- I woke up with a clear eye- completely. I took a shower and then had to run to the eye dr to drop something off. Even the woman there said it didnt look like pink eye. I get home and it was starting to get a little itchy and now its red and irritated again. Fine till I got in the shower and thats when I had trouble last time.....Its an allergy to something, but nothing has changed in my shower--no new soaps or detergants nothing. I still have not put a contact into that eye but what to do next?

aww amanda... did they figure out what it is yet?

Oh, the bird is dead.

poor susie

Ptaum,Sarah Palin, many shades of lipstick AND a moose???? ....sounds FABULOUS!!!!!

what did i MISS??

well as helpful as you are in distracting me from an english essay (2-3 page rough draft!! due tomorrow!!) -- which of course i found out about in the beginning/middle of the week and am only now starting -- i gots to go so i can *ahem* "finish" before 4th period

[elye]

Judy! I have often thought of this, wished it even. . . . I often want another arm. The question remains: Where would the best place be for it to function most effectively, to pick up the slack, to be in the best spot to perform what my other arms/hands miss? It's fascinating to ponder. . . . . do I want it out the centre of me back, to do chores and small jobs that can be done with my back turned, not requiring direct watching? To most easily fix my underwear/jeans when they're riding up my butt?

How about out the top of me head? For waving above everyone else at airports, concerts, auctions. . . . . ...

Between my boobs, to separate them (they'd look better, methinks), and to carry that extra grocery bag in front, to shake hands with the third person I meet in a group. . . . . ...

....Dunno. . . . . . must ask The Ripper. . . . . . ...

I *sigh* watched it ...although I don't think I was in lust over him

I think I was. He's quite a handsome devil, that Paul. . . . .and he has a critically acclaimed new movie out that he stars in/produces/directs. . . . .He's much more, apparently, than a pretty face. I believe it's called Paschendale. Must look for it!

i wish!! but no, sadly, the one thing no one can do for me... write about a personal experience you've had in which the setting or a particular person has shaped or influence who you are. ugh

i mean... i have an idea, but i really don't think i can write that much about it, and i can't really get started on it... hmm maybe it's because i've been a bit distracted

as for the arm, i vote for an extra long one in the middle of the stomach with a brain of its own (which always complies w/mine) that allows me to multitask w/o messing both things up

[Erica94]

oh! i just realized!! so there's a new coronation in ... 6 pages? how is the queen/king chosen? and how long do they rule?
