Hey all- Pa-Pooping in quickly. Just came home from Jen's we started unpacking and had dinner over there out on her deck, it was nice, we got her kitchen pretty well unpacked. Maybe more tomorrow night...and it is getting chilly outside.

Oh and boy am I going to bury my face for this....I went to Old Navy and purchased items at the 14.92 sale.....Yep- spent 29 bucks and got me 5 new tops.....I bought 3 tanks and 2 light long sleeve shirts and pulled off the "layered" look today. Manda is stylin!!!!

Nice score, Amanda! And these are clothes that have never been worn by anyone else! A rare treat for me, Ms. Sally Anne Diva herself......

And you've used almost 100 words here, Amanda.. . . ...we're almost at day's end - - would you say you've used up your token 7,000? I am absolutely certain that I have. . . .....

Edit: *gasp!* i forgot to pink it!!

[psawyer]

Erica,

Maybe everybody else has gone to bed. I'm sure Nikki has, and I will be following soon.

Skaught is is a psilly fonetic spelling of Scott, and refers to the board administrator, Scott Adams (username admin).

... us history is drowning me

US history is a fascinating area of study. The US has been in existence for 232 years, but has been involved in so many armed conflicts during that time. The US has had the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, and Viet Nam, among other conflicts.

Pick a war, study it, and write about it. I personally find WW II the most interesting of the lot, but the Civil War is more complex from the US view (as opposed to the world view of WW II).

But then, "History is just one damn thing after another." I phorget who said that.

Nothing silly to add tonight. I'm off to bed.

[curlyfries]

..........if that were my brohter and me, at that age, it would end in a smackdown......

I never got into fights with my brother that I recall, but there was always the backseat conflict on car trips.......you know, that imginary line down the middle....."You're on MY side of the seat!"

Lisa (curly fries)....let s know what transpires with your daughter ....does she have symptoms of Lupus??

If I remember rightly it's not a definitive test?? (hubby had it - is it ANA or summat??)

She has complained of her joints hurting. She has diagnosed anxiety and depression...and of course the rash. A couple years ago she had some urinary issues and I believe they found a low white cell count....not sure, must double check with her on that.

I don't know how reliable the biopsy test is. The blood test is ANA, according to my research, and a positive ANA doesn't always mean you have lupus, for instance, if you have an infection or are taking certain meds.

Thanks everyone for your concern.....will keep you posted.

... sadly, i wrote about myself and, uh, how learning bout this deaf (& other disabilities) school got my interested in working w/kids w/disabilities...

A noble occupation ......you missed my signing lessons back in July

Great eyebrow story!

Amanda.....good luck on the house!

History.......uugghhhh!

Julie.....expecting a puppy av soon!

Later, Psillies!!

[nikki-uk]

Morning ALL!!

Probably half way through my 7000 thousand words already (loooong..but boring..phonecall wiv devil child's tutor ......don't ASK..suffice to say he's NOT there - he's at HOME, grounded ....same old )

OMGAAAAWD!!!...my son's tutor!!!...he is the exception to the male 1700 words

He is Canadian (but I don't hold that against him ) and he waffles UNnecessarily ON & ON for Enland AS WELL as Canada .....shhheesh!!... I want to scream STOP!!!!! I get the picture!!!!!!!

Another dull and grEy day...the eyebrowLESS one had his T.B test this morning.....I'm sure the nurse kept looking ...he was MOST brave

Glad Julie's Cocker meet and greet went well!!

Patti's singed eyebrows lighting a cig off the stove ...lost an ENTIRE fringe doing that

GADS!!...BTW....since giving up the smokes *I* have turned into one of those insufferable converts that I promised I would NEVER be

After my friend (who smokes) had been round my house I realised with HORROR and DISMAY that the fleece jacket I was wearing was indeedin the path of her vile smoke..on the back of the chair she was sitting on!

..dear GOD!!! ....it was all I could DO not to whip the jacket from behind her (whilst making LOUD coughing noises) and hang that jacket on the washing line to air it!!!!

..I in fact waited 'til she left

I'm SUCH a hypocrit

[Jestgar]

I'm SUCH a hypocrit

Hey, you waited.

And people that haven't yet attained our level of health consciousness need some assistance.

[blueeyedmanda]

Morning Sillies-

There was frost on my car this morning---you had to scrape the windshield, wipers didn't work.....sign of the season I supose!

Another day of brand new clothes- I did mention how last weekend I broke down and bought two pairs of khakis at Kohls. It feels odd to have new items....I am such a dork!

So nothing new to report--Carry on

We are Super-duper close to a new crowning too!@

Hi Erica- I go to bed by 11:30 on work nights, hopefully I'll catch you on next time

[elye]

Wow, what's everybody doin' up, producing wildly, so EARLY?? Morning, fellow Early Boids!

plus my new pic! do u like it? i couldn't find anything too interesting but i had dance for 2 hours tonight, with the last 1/2 hour on pointe, and it KILLED my feet

Erica! beautiful av! The vital question: Are those your pheet? If not, we want to see them, in your ballet slippers. . . .. . ....

Erica, the next time you need a quick paper written full of academic musings and facts, Oracle PeOter is your guy.

But then, "History is just one damn thing after another." I phorget who said that.

That had to have been Churchill - - he said everything.

She has complained of her joints hurting. She has diagnosed anxiety and depression...and of course the rash. A couple years ago she had some urinary issues and I believe they found a low white cell count....not sure, must double check with her on that.

I cannot remember... . . Lisa, is she celiac?

[jerseyangel]

Mornin' sillies

Jeeze, I got nuthin.....cold this AM, but sunny. Em--"early boids" you write like I tawk

Did I tell you guys that the gastro is treating moi empirically for miscroscopic colitis? Seems to be going well so far, but I have to continue for 6 weeks. I love that she doesn't label me with "IBS" and tell me to "stay away from things that make me ill". Refreshing as hell, I tell ya!!

I just have this nagging feeling that possibly there is a reason for all the additional intolerances--I mean, there HAS to be, right? Keep your phingers crossed

Lisa-Do keep us posted on yer daughter.

PeOter--woids of wisdom, fer sure. You would get along well wif Mark--he's a history buff, too. Loves to read of WW2, and many other things I'm sure you would find interesting.

Amanda--a goil after me own 'art wif all the new clothes I'm weak in that respect--I love clothes and shoes and dear gawd, handbags. So shoot me

Getting me hair cut tomorrow.....

[elye]

Getting me hair cut tomorrow.....

Patti! You're still going to be leaving it au naturel, mehopes. . . . . wif yer big, gorgeous curls. ... . .

[jerseyangel]

Patti! You're still going to be leaving it au naturel, mehopes. . . . . wif yer big, gorgeous curls. ... . .

Oh yes Just a trim--it seems to grow faster in the back

[nikki-uk]

PATTI!!!

..a trim??

Restyle???

I need to know (curly club )

[jerseyangel]

PATTI!!!

Well.....the last time I had it cut (right before I met Em), it was half curly (on top) and half straight (on the bottom). I got all the straightened part cut off, but that meant cutting it shorter than I normally would have with lots of layers.

Now, I've been growing it out since July, so I have more to work with I'm thinking of leaving the sides the length they are (about even wif the base of me jaw) and having the back cut to that same length wif layers in the back.

Whaddya think?

GAAWD help me, I may live to regret this!!.... but summat's gotta give.....it ain't working

Left a voicemail with the relevant tutors that they arrange a meeting ASAP (GADS... i really am a thorn in their side)

Poopy tutors (although would love to see their faces as they listen to their messages in the morn )

Carry on peeps....and WHO needs eyebrows???

[elye]

Nikki! Lots happening wif that boy o' your'n. . . . . .no eyebrows, and a new school!

Where will he be going? How does he feel about it?

. . . Perhaps it is difficult to know how he's feeling much of the time. .. . .eyebrows are a vital part of facial expressions . .. .... ...Does he just look. . . . kind of. . . ..surprised all the time?

...different children

Al looks........ expressionLESS --->

Martin (full eyebrows) permanently looks like this-----> ....is full of teen angst and ain't NEVER gonna see the inside of a school ever again (no doubt)....been out of school for 4 yrs already (was at a 'special unit')

Alan & Martin = Light & Dark

Tres profound for you sillies......sumwon crack a joke for gaaawd sake

[jerseyangel]

Aw Nik--this thing wif Martin has just got to be wearin' you down. I'm really sorry you're having to deal with all this, and the poor boy, it can't be easy for him either.

And our sans-eyebrow Alan--that has got to give you a start when he walks into the room Eyebrows are one of those things we don't think about much until they're not there. (giggle)

Don't have a joke, but I did hear from an old friend from Jersey today She and I worked together and became friends. She and her family actually live right near my son......it was so nice to catch up! Made me a little homesick fer Joisey there for a few minutes.....

[jerseyangel]

Sillies, we might be getting snow this weekend ....tis a little early for snow in my book!!

Looking forward to the puppy av, too

Yeah, that's Colorado weather for ya

I must say I LOVE Cloris in pretty much everything she acts in, but it is awkward watching her on DWTS....she has toned it down a little I noticed and has been on a little bit of a tighter leash so to speak, but still kinda crazy.

I bet she gets to stay another week since Misty is out

[elye]

Alan & Martin = Light & Dark

Wow, Nik.. . .. . .a real variety of children! I'm sorry to hear about Martin's troubles. Teenagers are perplexing, exasperating, exhausting.. . .. ..and then suddenly they're twenty, and gone .. . .......

If anybody can handle all of this, it is YOU!

Snow!!!

Mygawd, that's crazy. . . ..... ..we are supposed to get sun and high 60's this weekend. and we're in Canada!

....is it just me or does anyone else feel squicky watching Cloris dance and cavort with her partner?

SQUICKY! A tremendous word. What does this mean? Nauseated? Nervous? The feeling you get when you look over a cliff?

Actually, I must share this: When I was a very small child, I inadvertently coined a phrase that has become part of my family lexicon . . . we use it regularly, and it is rooted now in our clan history. I was standing with my parents up in the Gatineau Hills, looking over a very steep cliff. I stepped quickly back and said, "I can't stand there and look down for very long . . . it makes my bum crinkle". . . .....
