Morning Psillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ☺

Is bunnie at the Phair? Pooping her pants? hope not.............I myself have some VERY strange poop this morning, quite painful and......well, crime-ish, really. and no idea why.......everything was eaten from home yesterday, alas, went out briefly last night and had a pear cider - always safe. Different pub, same cider......what in hell?

*Gasp*... I haven't done any exercise this week AT ALL (my gym instructor has twisted her ankle) and although there are other classes I could go to , I hate going when I'm the new girl

OMG Nik - I could have written that sentence meself.......have NOT been to gym ONCE this week - dunno why (lazy, slattern slug-girl is why, not a missing teacher) AND I am to do weeding/yard work today and.....so far still in me pj's.....................

FREEZING COLD -- OMG - YOU ALL DON"T TURN YOUR HEAT ON UNTIL IT"S BELOW 60?????????????????

I awoke to find my house at 68 degrees and I am phreezing.........called my mum and asked if she'd turned HER heat on yet (no to both of us but I was mighty tempted).........outside temp was low 50's this morning

after MONTHS of 100-degree plus weather, it's just so traumatic (traumatically wonderful, though ) to be this cold in the morning - we are such wimps But - the heat goes on when it gets to about.....66 or 67 in the house......my feet are blue (must find socks) and hands are freezing.....goign to walk the Weezel now and am concerned about the chill

remaining emotionicons:

Mornin' Sillies

Have a phanTABulous Homecoming Dance Queenie!!

Great news Manda!

Some job news here too. Looks like it's really happening and they're actually going to hire me and I'll actually have to go and see whether I can actually do it.

<I think I can, I think I can>

And checked out an apt yesterday. Rent is higher than I'd like, of course, but it's the same place I lived before heading to Phx, so I know the pros outweigh the cons and there wouldn't be any surprises.

Thus the true reason behind all the colorful pictograms.............Elsie's cursory disease has given her a bout of D and she has shat rainbow heiroglyphics all over Sillyville!

Heehee

Unfortunately, the sidekick only shows me ~1/3rd of them, w/ the rest showing as a simple default square.

<I think I can, I think I can>

This is such great news, Pataghumn!!! I'm so happy fer you--all of it

thank you, but i'm kind of a party-pooper (oh hehe ick i sure hope not ) cuz i don't dance (at parties and stuff, only in class or at recitals ), i just sit around and talk to whoever else isn't and laugh/gag at the incredibly strange dancing

read: bumping & grinding :blehh:

isn't this the job ur overqualified for? of COURSE u can do it!

great news about the apartment!!

On Monday morning, we're having a pellet stove installed--an investment (especially since we had to have a section of hardwood removed and tile installed as a proper base), but our heating oil was slated to be over double what it was last year, which would have brought it well over $5,000 for the season

We figured, this way, it pays for itself in a few years and we don't have to rely so heavily on the oil. The pellets it burns are very efficient and sustainable, since they're made of heavily compressed hardwood sawdust.

This is indeed fascinating to moi - as we have no such things here

We have open fires (coal) or gas/electric fires or gas central heating (radiators with a boiler)

big exciting news psillies!!! MY FIRST HOMECOMING TONIGHT!!!!!!!!! :D

YIPEE!!!

...but as the token Brit....

It happens when the great gods of the celiac forum have deemed you worthy of advancementship. . . . <read in a big booming voice over a background of thunder> . . . or whenever you reach the right number of posts . . . like 80 or sumptin.

OBX = Outer Banks, North Carolina . . . yep, that's right, the psillies are psummating in the psurf!!

. . . and a late congrats to Amanda . . . and another (but not quite so late) congrats to Ghtomn.

[nikki-uk]

Ghtomn.

[jerseyangel]

Glad you took a ride and had a phun day, Judith

Yep--the OBX is rockin sillie this weekend!! Won't know what hit it

I spent the day cleaning the basement and baking a spice cake whilst the guys are at the car show .....can my life GET any more exciting???????

I've been awake since they left at quarter of 5 pouring ice into a cooler is really loud at that hour

[Jestgar]

sq ft blackberries cleared: ~20

sq ft nettles cleared: same

deck and front porch: swept

outdoor furniture: put away

now, as promised (self to self) going shopping ☺

Ok, I didn't shampoo the carpet, so technically not all the chores are done, but even if I don't go shopping I'm way to tuckered to womanhandle a carpet cleaner.

[curlyfries]

SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! am FREEZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and loving it) fingernails are purple.........

I'm right there wit 'cha Suzie!

I think 65 degrees would be the lowest indoor temp I could handle. Often the AC at work will turn my fingernails purple........I wear sweaters to work year-round.

I was never meant to live in the Midwest

i don't dance (at parties and stuff, only in class or at recitals ),

I know the type!...My nephew and his wife are professional ballet dancers.......travel around the world to perform......once studied under Barishnikov. When they got married they had a band at the reception and all the ballet dancers on the dance floor trying to 'get down' was hilarious!!!.....quite dorky, actually

-- WOOHOO! FRESHMEN WON!! --

AHA!.........so your a freshman!..........hmmmm....even younger than I thought

BTW......I posted out there and used a couple of pictograms ☼ ☻ and PURTY FONT........must do this gradually..........don't want to startle the Others

I have a mental picture of our work-ditching, fair-going psilly walking around the fair leaving a trail of bunnie pellets behind her!!!!! . . . . . . . . .

Super news, Tom......sounds like things are looking up! ☼

You, too Amanda.......congrats on the job news!

I want a sun porch! .........We had one when I was little........It's called a Florida room in Florida

Absolutely lovely day here, also........went garage-saleing on the motorcycle again........took some winding roads through wooded scenery dappled in fall cloUrs

Sounds like a good plan, Jess. Does he use a ballcock at all in the construction?

Ah! Indeed, you may see this nice man's ballcock at some point. . . . . .

Actually, there may be another Psilly Psummit happening in a couple of weeks....PeOter, we're coming to T.O. on Hallowe'en weekend! I'll PM you the details, but I wanna do lunch wif ya on Yonge Street!

I awoke to find my house at 68 degrees and I am phreezing.........called my mum and asked if she'd turned HER heat on yet (no to both of us but I was mighty tempted)........

But - the heat goes on when it gets to about.....66 or 67 in the house......my feet are blue (must find socks) and hands are freezing.....goign to walk the Weezel now and am concerned about the chill

Dear gawd, Sooozie. . .. .....!! I am a Canuck, so I am speechless at your references to "freezing" weather.. . . ....68 F????

You Californians!

Ptaoughmghmn! Great news on the job and apartment phront. Congrats.

hmmm this is strange and vaguely disturbing... and akin to emily's previously missing cursor?? every time nikki writes "emoticons conserved" i can't see the number until i'm posting, either in the quote or in the posts below the box i'm writing my reply in...... now, the inevitable question: WHAT does it all mean?

OMG.. . . . . .Where is that number hiding?? And WHY?

Hmmm. . . . well, Susie spoke about about having painful, strange poops this morning....... .. How big would you say it is?

[Judyin Philly]

HI

Seems like alot of peeps had good days today.

Patty has some good cake to look forward to

Jim was telling me he had 3 friends who went to that same show Mark and Matt did in Hursey. HA

OK RANT COMING...............

I was tired when we got home and ran to Acme to pick up a Tyson beef dinner that i ck'd the ingred on 2 weeks ago.

TODAY .........YOU CAN'T BELIEVE THE exact same package had .........WHEAT AND 3 KINDS OF SOY.

They didn't have any discaimers at the bottom of the ingred list either. Another company bites the dust.

Why do we always have to cook to live?............I hate this disease.

came home and did pork chops and sourcrout and m/p and salad......fast but DIDN'T WANT TO COOK.

MAN THAT FRESH FRIED CHICKEN LOOKED AND SMELLED SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD.

Haven't had any fried foods in years.

CARRY ON MY SILLIES........

Can you imagine if the sillies in the OBX go out to dinner............. man that waiter/waitress better be ready for them

[jerseyangel]

YOU CAN'T BELIEVE THE exact same package had .........WHEAT AND 3 KINDS OF SOY.

They didn't have any discaimers at the bottom of the ingred list either.

Well, crap! Your dinner sounds better anyway.......I know what you mean about the convenience, though--those days are gone forever

Phunny about Jim knowing people going to the show today

[DingoGirl]

JUDITH!!!!!!!! absolutely HEINOUS about the evil ingredient change!!!!!!!! good thing you read.......

OMG - I think I miss fried food more than anything......... My Last Supper, whilst being driven home from colonoscopy/endo, was a butt load of fried chicken *sigh*

am just cracking up at all yer lists, pholks. Lauren and I, after reading Bridget Jones many years ago, sent constant emails of the days' tallies.

so today: [it was SO PRODUCTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

rose bushes transplanted: 2

citrus trees planted/transplanted: 2

large gem magnolia trees planted: 1 (but Stepford's darling gardener did this)

violets divided and planted: countless

holes dug: four

fresh-squeezed oj screwdrivers: 1 (just started)

boiled rhubard custard sweets: 0 (and am bloody irritated about, I'll tell ya)

Some job news here too. Looks like it's really happening and they're actually going to hire me and I'll actually have to go and see whether I can actually do it.

<I think I can, I think I can>

Gthom (or was it Thgom?) - - I am so excited for you! I am also in the same situation, began working for a former boss three weeks ago, VERY part-time at this point, was scared to death. But - I am so excited - it's working out so well, and I think it gets to be a permanent position for me.

Just don't get ahead of yourself - - don't panic - - - you are WAY overqualified and that reduces so much of the stress! ☻

GO PHATAUGHMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Green12]

Congrats to Tom

And Erica, how very exciting about your Homecoming tonight.....will you be wearing the royal robe instead of a dress??

Hope Bunnie phared well at the phair.

Glad Elsie's eye is better today Em.

and

[jerseyangel]

And YUM on the Spice Cake, Gluten Free Pantry???

Shocking, but no

GFP spice cake mix contains the evil (for me) tapioca, so I doctor up a "Cause Your Special" yellow cake mix with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. It's so good, even Mark thinks so. Does not taste gluten free at all!!

Hope you and Arnie can get some rest tonight!

Evening Sillies-

Been a long day and a long night- Last evening Landen was here and at 11 he woke up sick and he was crying on and off all night- poor thing. We didnt get much sleep.

Gas is our area is 2.89

We are looking at a house in Mechanicsburg--- 5 minutes from Wegmans, talk about right up my alley.

I just got finished cleaning up the kitchen. I made a mess with dinner tonight and two nights ago, John made me dinner and fried it in olive oil- splattered up everywhere and he didn't wipe it clean enough. So I had to use some elbow grease! So now my stove is minus the grates- I ran them through the dishwasher. I do hope my new house comes with a gas stove- I love cooking on gas--I never enjoyed cooking until we moved here and I had a gas stove, I feel so much more in control and the stove doesn't scare me at all. My old apt had an electric stove that always smoked.....and was a GE too just like my ghetto dishwasher. I have no luck with GE appliances.... I will never buy em. This shows my snotty side but my dream is to own a Viking stove. Those babies are nice. I also have a soft spot for those old white gas stove from the 50's.

Tom- congrats congrats congrats!!!!!!

Patti and Judy- next year your men can go to the car show and I can meet you and the 3 of us can spend the day together. I would have loved to see you both today

Well John is watching the PSU game and I am resting. My leg is bothering me- Had another accident with it 3 weeks ago- I think I will be getting it MRIed.....There are some odd lookign bumps by my ankle bone-- the site of impact....lots of brusing on the top of my foot too near the ankle.....I am sooo klutzy!!!

Bye sillies more later

[DingoGirl]

number of times I have said sit today: 92

number of times dog actually sat: 4

number of accidents in the house: 0

number of puppy kisses: 10

number of emoticons used: 9

am so excited about the new doggie love!!!!!! And hey, if I was able to train the Weezle, you can train your new baby, too! [Weez likes to PRETEND that she's not that smart, and tries to get by on cuteness and luv - but she IS smart and WAS able to be trained at the age of one or two, however old she was when I found her, I am pleased to report ]

Patti - I want some cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where do I get this "Because Yer Special" cake? Whole Foods?

Well sillies - - I have found my dream man.................

BUT HE"S IN A MOVIE.

I am watching this movie called "Something New" and......it's Simon Baker playing a landscape architect, and he has a golden retriever that goes everywhere with him, and he likes to hike and play in the dirt and he's beautiful and charming, and, I am simply devastated, why can't this man exist in REAL LIFE in this gawd-forsaken town?

I can tell he smells really good too.

But........I'm freezing now..........I think the house is at about 76 er sumfin' and so......I have to crawl into bed and get snuggly and warm.

take that, you Canucks and East Coasters and Southern Londerners, I am a COMPLETE wuss and will happily admit it

number of sore/endangered lower backs: 1

number of screwdrivers: 1 (the bag of oranges is empty!)

Weezel kisses:

[Green12]

what do these symbols mean? they look.......as though actually could mean something......something psymbolic or........team-ish. Am fascinated.

Am quite curious meself what these symbols are ....they kind of remind me of DNA ....er somethin like that?

Susie Q!!!!!

OH MAH GAH!!!!!!!

Shocking, but no

GFP spice cake mix contains the evil (for me) tapioca, so I doctor up a "Cause Your Special" yellow cake mix with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. It's so good, even Mark thinks so. Does not taste gluten free at all!!

Are you cheating on Gluten Free Pantry Patti?!?!?! Hee hee.........sounds delish!! You and Janet with the baked goods!! My mouth is watering (have been off sugar for 4 months and 2 days now, yep I have it calculated down to the day, hour, and minute )

Enjoy! ...and have a big slice for me
