Good Crazy Phriday Morning, Psillies!

Whadderyer call this day? Black Phriday? Green Phriday? Crowds of marauding shoppers descending on the malls.........heinous, 'twould be, fer me. . . . ..

Ummmmm . . . Bloody Friday???

We don't venture out on this day to anything resembling a mall or department store of any kind. I do need to run out for a prescription (FOR THE DOG!!!) a little later but that's it and I can just go through the drive through. The rest of the time shall be spent foruming, reading and pecking picking at the leftover turkey.

[jerseyangel]

I don't know where exactly Nikki is either her Spacebook says London, but she could be around London, or near it.

Nik is so cool "Around London" sounds so cosmopolitan to someone in Pennsylvania

well, pooh

Poor Lisa-h....lepht all alone in the 'ville last night. I had to get to bed--me eyes were closing

Paddeigh!!!!!!!!!!!! AND two glasses of wine!

Sooz--I swear to gawd, as my second glass was being poured, I thought "this would please Souczie"

I'm so happy that you had a glorious, joyphul day--did me 'art good to hear this, too, after the year you had. Like our wise Jess put it--it's all behind you now and out of the way.

Ummmmm . . . Bloody Friday???

I've never like the term "Black Friday"--sounds so negative and sad

I never shop on the day after Thanksgiving, either.....some stores opened at 4AM today--the malls at 6

[DingoGirl]

HAPPY BLACK PHRIDAY SILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

(does not sound right)

At least you got it out of the way. The rest of us still possibly have our worst year to look forward to

I'm hoping mine entails a near death experience involving vodka and a men's wet t-shirt contest.

I am not sure what this really means but......am liking the sound of it.........

sounds glorious.........I believe I"ll do a bit of room/furniture reconfiguration, some cleaning of the closet, the boring stuff, read yesterday's MASSIVE newspaper, chat w/ friends, cyber and other......walk me dingo, go to mum's, all the normal stuff for a day off

Nik is so cool "Around London" sounds so cosmopolitan to someone in Pennsylvania

Um.........think what is must sound like to person from PhrezNO

Sooz--I swear to gawd, as my second glass was being poured, I thought "this would please Souczie"

oh dear.......am the phorum lush, am I? :lol:

PATTI!!!!!!!!! so - those were yer unusual phluids, then?

Em - we get to stop in Newfoundland????????????? oh how glorious........sounds dark and moorish and exotic...........but - nowhere near London........should we have Nik meet us there? and then........do we drive to London? Um......without even consulting a map to verify my weak geography skills I"m still rather certain there's an ocean we have to cross

Good Morning Sillies!

Welcome to the start of the Christmas shopping season.....my butt is at work. I love working today There are only 4 of us here....my boss has left me in charge...what was she thinking?????? Today is the day where we just relax in the office and chill....very nice.

Our Thanksgiving was very nice. We had a great day at my moms. The food was sooo good! I am getting ready to get the receptionist at John's Dr's office fired. He has been off his blood pressure medication for over a week now. So he kept calling the DR's office and this woman never told him the dr was on vacation and she never pushed the message onto a nurse--she just kept saying you cannot be seen until 12/6 and you need to have bloodwork drawn and see the dr before you get ANY meds...we will not give you a few pills to get by until the appt.....so by Friday night John was wheezing and feeling sicker than hell. He had this massive headache and this pain in his arm. Well by Monday his feet were swollen and he is retaining water real bad. So he is still not getting through to the Dr's office...finally he gets through on the emergency line and speaks with a nurse. She hurries and gets him a script. he takes the Diovan and that was Tuesday. His feet are still swollen real bad today and they hurt but overall he looks like hell.....white as a ghost..

So talking with a nurse here....John could have died on us over the weekend....this has lots of consequences....

Someone is going to get in trouble for this! I am Pi$$Ed!!!!!

How is everything else with you guys?

[Judyin Philly]

Morning Sillies

Gosh Amanda, your post was so scarey! I'd be the Dr. won't be happy with this at all. You can sure count your blessings with Dad better and John still alive. This is just so uncalled for. Keep us posted on him. Glad you and the other sillies all had a good day

Judy

Amanda!! This is horrible!! Poor, poor John....and you! Simply heinous. . . . .

Mygawd....you guys have drive-through veteranairy care???

"I'll have a nail clipping, one ear reaming, and a double-double anal squeeze, please"....... . . .. . .

Poor Lisa-h....lepht all alone in the 'ville last night. I had to get to bed--me eyes were closing

It was that second, wonderful glass o' wine, Patti!

Em - we get to stop in Newfoundland????????????? oh how glorious........sounds dark and moorish and exotic...........but - nowhere near London........should we have Nik meet us there? and then........do we drive to London?

Psilly!! I'm simply guessing that you'd phly from California due northeast, hitting Canada's east coast before heading over the Atlantic... . . Unless you were to head west, over the Pacific, then north for a long time. . . . . ..not sure. Howevah, methinks your phlight would involve time over here, and Newfoundland would be the province you'd need to refuel. . . maybe. .. . ...

You would LOOOOOVE Newfoundland!!!

Wow Amanda . . . that IS scary . . . and IMO she DOES deserve to lose her job over this. Hope John starts improving quickly!!!

Drive through pharmacy . . . JoDog takes people meds for her glaucoma. She does need to see the vet soon though for a vaccine update . . . I'll check when they are expecting to add drive-thru services.

[DingoGirl]

Amanda! how alarming! and heinous....

Mygawd....you guys have drive-through veteranairy care???

"I'll have a nail clipping, one ear reaming, and a double-double anal squeeze, please".......

convenient! but - probably fairly difficult for me to hand my 65-pound Weasel out the car window and into their office - would they walk 'round to her side and perform it all in the front seat of car? Excellent idea - avoiding Veterinary Office Panic..........

Actually, we fly from San Fran or LA and stop in New York, generally, before crossing the Atlantic.....no Newfoundland stops insofar as I know?

Would LOVE to spend time in Newfoundland and.....how far is that from Prince Edward Island? have been aching to go there for many years, esp. since dating this wackl British Naval Officer whilst living in Monterey - he was from Poole, south of England, eh Nik? and - they spent their summers in PEI........ *dreamysigh*

Drive-thru express anal gland expressions I'll start a campaign

SILLIES - am about to attempt some version of bubble and squeak........am skairt

And a pregnant lady injured in a stampede.....I would not be surprised.....'tis an EGREGIOUS day out there..........

Hellooooo my little Turkied comatose peeps!!!!

Susie's breasts

Judith's 'skutch'........what in hell??

Mygawd!!! Where's Nikerler???!

Well I'm here ain't I ??....... am I ??

Sudden turn of events: Will's great Aunt, who lived in Cheriton-Near-Aylesford, an incredibly beautiful little hamlet just outside of Winchester, England, passed away a couple of days ago.

I am sorry to hear this

....but wait...

Will knew that he should try to get there for the funeral.....so he began surfing the net for air fare deals. Well..... . . he got an incredible price on a return, non-stop flight leaving Dec. 9th for six nights. So good was the price (probably because it's now off-season) that he's decided to take The Ripper with him.

NIKKI!!!! How close are you to London?????? They will be staying at the Citadines Trafalgar for three of those nights.... . .. ..could we have another mini-psummit??

OMG!!!!! I am about 14 miles away...... maybe just over an hour on the tube!!!!!

But, wait. . . . . ..

Um....I won't be there.

I WANNA COME!!!!!!!!

OH cRAP AND A$$HAT ...YOU must!!!!!!!.... I INSIST!!!!!!!!!

<Em's menfolk will be but a bus ride away .....should I be askeert???>

I don't know where exactly Nikki is either her Spacebook says London, but she could be around London, or near it. Nikki, where are you?!?!?!?!?!

You nut!!!!

I am in East London, right on the border as East London goes into the county of Essex..........um actually me town's called 'Barking'

Oh, so sorry about Will's aunt but.........I WANNA COME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Would it be odd if I showed up at this funeral? Crashed at Nik's, borrowed her car, drove over? And brought Nik et al wif me? Ask Will if this would be okay.....

Drive me car????

What with the steering wheel being on the wrong side, 'roundabouts' , and a gear box it could turn out to be quite the white knuckle ride...... but wait!!!! I DO have a 7 seater ......Susie'll love Wincester!!!!! (I have been before)

I'm wif ya on that plan, Soooz. I'll meet you at your touchdown in Newfoundland, and we'll head tro Nik's from there. .. . . ..

I love a goil wiv a plan............ and remember....... what happens in London, stays in London

Has yer Geordie NorthUmbrian MIL arrived yet???

GADS!!!!!!

Is it 'black Friday' for the yanks???........... I myself ventured out, t'was heaving wiv people ....... most heinous, hot, me feet hurt AND ........ crap! just WHAT did I even GET???? ...but have blown 50 quid????

Mygawd....lookit that Sam Hill. . . . . . . he is nothing but a Manhead whore, that one, cuddling up to yet another Psilly in Nikerler's av . . . . ..

NIK!!! 14 miles from London? Is that really an hour plus subway ride? Crap, it must crawl along, then? Seemed like we just FLEW along, I don't know where in hell we were going half the time - - and, of course, I always had to... . . . ...

Mind the Gap.... .. . . . .. .

[psawyer]

Well, Greater London is roughly circular with a diameter of about 30 miles, so you can be 14 miles from the center and still be inside the boundary. Nikki is in the east end. It is a big metropolis.

Of course, the actual City of London is roughly one square mile in the center of it all.

Gee, tis quiet here today, both here in sillyville and at our store. Maybe everybody ran off to shop in Buffalo!

[DingoGirl]

OMG sillies.....................

I am embarrassed to tell you what Weezee has done now. Embarrassed and really quite sad and disappointed.

WEll, this morning I mixed me yams/two kinds of potatoes/green beans/corn into little patties, made my DELISH version of the bubble and squeak. Had tons of remaining mixture in a mixing bowl, for the next three days.

Got a phone call, a friend was very close to my house, so I DASHED out to meet for coffee. I left Weezee OUTSIDE - with the heavy glass sliding door DECIDEDLY SHUT. (you all know where this is going)

So - was gone a couple of hours. Get home and find that - the sliding door is OPEN. And, the gigantic yellow mixing bowl is on the floor, and my remaining concoction, the rest of the mixture for the yummy bubble and squeak, for DAYS TO COME, is GONE.

So - now I cannot figure out whether I left it on the counter? what in hell? Why would I do that? or - whether she can actually get into the fridge now.........but - if that is the case, there are other things in there she could have gotten. Am flummoxed.

Fattest, piggiest, binge-ing-est dog there ever was, anywhere, ever, PERIOD. I am soooooooooo sad that nearly all me leftovers are gone......................and you should have seen teh sassy face she wore when I walked in.......and just how low she was crouched to the ground....................

HARRUMPHF-F-F-F-F-F-F-F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jerseyangel]

and you should have seen teh sassy face she wore when I walked in.......and just how low she was crouched to the ground....................

She knew exactly what she did!!

You need to set up a web cam in yer kitchen--I'd love to see how she manages to pull off all this stuff.

[DingoGirl]

OH cRAP AND A$$HAT ...YOU must!!!!!!!.... I INSIST!!!!!!!!!

<Em's menfolk will be but a bus ride away .....should I be askeert???>

crap and a$$hat

and yes - you should be VERY askeert, one would think

Drive me car????

What with the steering wheel being on the wrong side, 'roundabouts' , and a gear box it could turn out to be quite the white knuckle ride...... but wait!!!! I DO have a 7 seater ......Susie'll love Wincester!!!!! (I have been before)

*snort* white-knuckled, indeed

okay - you drive

I know I wanted to sit in that warm looking bar that does cocktails rather than shop............ but DID I????? >

:wistfulface: oh, would love to pop into that pub.......is it like the same one from The Holiday? unbelievably cozy (even cozier wif Jude Law, eh?)

Heinous ....oh yes, I remember you mentioning the Brit bf, based at Pompey?? (slang for Portsmouth.......quite nr Wincester incidentally... ....but I digress..)

He was from Poole. Then later got the very cush assignment of Naval Postgraduate School - Monterey. He did love it. Imported - get this - his Lotus Elise to the US and drove that parrot green thing around on weekend. I was embarrassed to be seen in it. And, BTW, NO women ever checked him out in that car - only guys.

You need to set up a web cam in yer kitchen--I'd love to see how she manages to pull off all this stuff.

that is EXACTLY what me mum said..........

but - I'm starting to worry taht I"m losing me mind and left the whole bowl of my delicious stuff on the counter before I left......I was wrangling around in the fridge for a bottle of water before I dashed off - MUST have taken the stuff out of fridge and left it there? If that is the case, 'tis mommy's fault but.........HOW IN HELL DOES SHE OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR NOW? am now thinking that she gets on her hind legs and pushes the handle?

web cam needed..........

so sad about me leftovers

very quiet here today!!!!!!! Is everyone out shopping?

going to watch a movie now - 'tis gloriously cold and grEy here today..............LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

[Judyin Philly]

HOW IN HELL DOES SHE OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR NOW? am now thinking that she gets on her hind legs and pushes the handle?

web cam needed..........

so sad about me leftovers

susie.......yes that's my big question.......our sliding glass door is so heavy i can't imagine she would open it but i guess she did

no left overs.........god wish i could seen you some.

giving mine to my 83 year old neighbor who did ALL THE COOKING for her family of 19 and those scum bags took all the left overs and she has NONE...........I TELL YOU NONE.

WANT TO PUNCH THEM ALL. IT'S HER FAULT THAT SHE DOESN'T PUT HER FOOT DOWN BUT........THE YEAR SHE ASKED THEM TO BRING THE SIDES.

1 BROUGHT A SACK OF LETTUCE AND NO DRESSING

1 A CAN OF SWEETPOTATOES AND A BOWL

1 GOT A FREE TURKEY AND DID SHE DONATE TO HER MOM......HELL NO........SHE GAVE TO THE SCHOOL FOR THE POOR.

OK RANT OVER..........I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS FAMILY.

SAD TO SAY THE LEAST. SHE IS A WIDDOW AND STILL HAS TO WORK EVERYDAY SO SHE CAN PAY FOR FOOD AND HOME EXPENCES........

DO YOU ALL FIND THIS AS HORRIFIC AS I DO ????? i MEAN SHE BAKED 3 PIES TOO. COULDN'T THEY AT LEAST BRING DESERT.

i'M TAKING HER OUR LEFT OVERS TOMORROW. i KNEW THERE WAS A REASON JIM GOT THAT 18 # TURKEY........

JUDY

[jerseyangel]

DO YOU ALL FIND THIS AS HORRIFIC AS I DO ?????

Gawd yes The poor thing....and still working to make ends meet at her age. Her children ought to be ashamed of themselves for not at least leaving her with some food. What's the matter with some people

Glad she at least has good friends like you and Jim

[Judyin Philly]

thanks Patti......at least it's not just me.

She's the one i walk with each day since she had to put her dog down. She walked 3 times every day with her dog. Then was walking alone and broke my heart b/c she was so sad so now we walk together.

(and she doesn't have to have a leash on me) She just has to watch that i don't trip her with my 2 canes.......almost did one day.

Judy

......HOW IN HELL DOES SHE OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR NOW? am now thinking that she gets on her hind legs and pushes the handle?

OMG.......That Weezee....... . ..

I know what will be seen when you play back your webcam tape, Soooozie. . . . ..a grainy image of your heavy patio door slowly being opened, Weezie scurrying through into your kitchen, and then......you will notice the delicate hand on that door handle, perfectly manicured fingernails, a hint of lovely, crisp sleeve .. . ..you'll be able to make out for a second, through the glass door, a sweep of perfect hair, a flash of white teeth as Stepford moves away from your door, laughing loud and long. . . . .......

i'M TAKING HER OUR LEFT OVERS TOMORROW. i KNEW THERE WAS A REASON JIM GOT THAT 18 # TURKEY........

You said it, Judy. That was the reason - - to help this poor, wonderful neighboUr of yours. How awful that people can treat someone like this so badly. I'm really happy to hear that you are there to help this lovely little soul out.

[elye]

Mornin' Psillies!

Mygawd.. . . . where'd everybody go??

Are you Yanks all still trapped in a marauding crowd in Target????

[nikki-uk]

...holy heck!...Susie's doing Bubble & Squeak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait!...NO!!

Bubble & Squeak's off......Weezee is a naughty (but clever) scavenging goil!!!!!!!!!

.....will she pay with poops I wonder??

Perhaps Weezee belongs to a small and select international group of pets called 'The magical pets'

Will (me cat) is a fully paid up member......... he can open my bedroom door with power of his wee cat mind....he just stares at the door and it opens!!!!!!!......thus giving him the chance to practice the dark arts of .. trampling over me head , knocking over the glass of water on me bedside cabinet AND batting me earrings off the table and around the room as if they were a live mouse

NIK!!! 14 miles from London? Is that really an hour plus subway ride? Crap, it must crawl along, then? Seemed like we just FLEW along, I don't know where in hell we were going half the time - - and, of course, I always had to... . . . ...

Mind the Gap.... .. . . . .. .

...and stand clear of the door PLEASE!

It took me many hrs but I worked out this mathS riddle ALL BY MESEPH!!!!!!!!

OK, if I live 14 miles from Trafalgar Square and it takes1 hour to get there on the tube........

THE TRAIN MUST BE TRAVELLING AT 14 MILES PER HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<GADS I'm good!!!!!!!!!!!!!>

[DingoGirl]

thanks Patti......at least it's not just me.

(and she doesn't have to have a leash on me)

the leash part was funny!

the other - it IS horrifying!!!!!!!!! Your poor neighbor and those AWFUL KIDS!!!!!!! I"d probably manage to fit in a scathing lecture to them somehow......never to be invited back again So glad she has you, Judith, and your big old Tom turkey......

I know what will be seen when you play back your webcam tape, Soooozie. . . . ..a grainy image of your heavy patio door slowly being opened, Weezie scurrying through into your kitchen, and then......you will notice the delicate hand on that door handle, perfectly manicured fingernails, a hint of lovely, crisp sleeve .. . ..you'll be able to make out for a second, through the glass door, a sweep of perfect hair, a flash of white teeth as Stepford moves away from your door, laughing loud and long. . . . .......

:lol:

Seriously........could this have happened???????? because - I am having a hard time believing that Weez CAN open the door........

did I leave it open? starting to think I"m losing my mind, because I swear I distinctly remember putting her out and shutting it firmly yesterday........

Are you Yanks all still trapped in a marauding crowd in Target????

I know! Where IS everyone????????????? think I just felt a tumbleweed brush me arm?

Perhaps Weezee belongs to a small and select international group of pets called 'The magical pets'

Will (me cat) is a fully paid up member......... he can open my bedroom door with power of his wee cat mind....he just stares at the door and it opens!!!!!!!......thus giving him the chance to practice the dark arts of .. trampling over me head , knocking over the glass of water on me bedside cabinet AND batting me earrings off the table and around the room as if they were a live mouse

magical pets terrorizing you at night.......hmmm............Will a fully paid up member, eh? love that My mom's three cats DO try to sleep on her head but - I don't think they bat things around, as far as I know......

Nik's doing mathS

oh sillies - the sun is out and I am FURIOUS...........want me bleak, grEy, movie-watching weather........... this is simply untenable..........

[elye]

.....will she pay with poops I wonder??

Paying in poops. . .. . . . ..

If one could use this as currency, mygawd .. . . .......the number of times I'm out in our back, picking up large substandard poodle poops. .. .. I would be vacationing in Tahiti every February .. . . . ...

It took me many hrs but I worked out this mathS riddle ALL BY MESEPH!!!!!!!!

OK, if I live 14 miles from Trafalgar Square and it takes1 hour to get there on the tube........

Nik - - amazing analytical work.. . .. Where IS everybody, at a time when Nikki has performed astounding mental gymnastics?????

Oh sillies - the sun is out and I am FURIOUS...........want me bleak, grEy, movie-watching weather........... this is simply untenable..........

Soooozie, do you have an equally perplexing desire for darkness as well as grEyness? If so, you really should be up with MIL in Whitehorse, where the sun is currently rising at 10 am and setting at around 1:30 pm. There is very little sun up there right now.

I cannot imagine this. .. . . . . .!!!!
