Maybe it's a replacement for cuss words. Kind of like the word "Smurf". As in..."My Mom was a real spinach at Thanksgiving last year."

Susan<

You mentioned Richard Pryer. When my hubby and I were dating, we listened to him all the time. Even 27 years later we still converse in "richardisms".......Miss Ruldoff, put a mojo on his butt

I liked Eddie Murphy...I think it was called Raw or something like that.

I went to the health food store yesterday and was looking for my usual loaf of bread (which I did not find) when I noticed that Glutino had made a frozen pizza. They also had a pasta meal but i didn't pick that one up. The pizza was feta and spinach and I have to say that it's wonderful. Is this new or have I been going to the wrong store all this time. They're not really up on getting the newest items in.

More southern sayings: They were all over (him)(her) like flies on spinach . . . Don't know if this one is southern, though . . . as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs . . . . and don't listen to him, he doesn't (pronounced dudn't) know spinach from shin-ola. (Also, the older folks don't say "ho" --- they give it the good old long version!!!) Some of the older folks get the "swoles" -- swollen feet, etc. during the heat, and when the Good Old Southern Baptists faint during church because the spirit has taken them, "they done fell out" . . . . .

Have a good day, Rachelvillians . .. would you be mine, could you be mine, won't you be my neighbor???

Toodles,

Lynne

You're a riot, Lynne!

Yes indeedy!

Amen! I was fixin' to add this, but it slipped my mind: Have y'all ever said "tump"? As in, "Don't stand up in that chair, child! It'll tump over!"

Cissie

I've said tump before.

I've been a military spouse too long. I'm sitting here trying to think of all the sayings I've heard and said and I can't think of 1.

And just what would that job entail........

Susan

That's how I do it, too.

I delete what I don't want to highlight within the quote.

Amen!

Presto! The pic is any size you want!

Hugs.

Karen

Thank you Thank you Thank you....

I forgot to mention your new picture too Jeny, he is adorable! How old is he?

He's 3 and totally rotten. My DD got jealous that his picture is on there. I told her that her's will be there tomorrow since all the pics I have of them together are way too big to put on here.

Jeny - your boy is so cute!

Thanks!

Vincent just HAS TO BE our John-Boy.......

I'll second that one Karen. He would make a good John-Boy.

My friend showed me how to crochet on a cruise last year...have I mentioned that I have 200 scarves in every color imaginable.

You should start making afghans. they're just like scarves, but bigger. I learned how to make them first, then scarves.

Susan, the caption under your picture is sooo funny. She even looks fat and sassy.

Julie,

Does that meann you can blend up your own nut milks? I have recipes.

Evie,

I'm soy intolerant so I can't eat any mainline chocolate. I've been buying enjoy life chocolate chips.

I am totally addicted to hershey's kisses. i can't get through the day without at least one.

OMG tika, the older dingo who doesn't get into things like Annie does but BENEFITS from it .....she just let out a ripper, such a loud one that it scared her and she ran out of the room......am sitting here cracking up.....

Lynnie get that dog's BUTT out of your face at night...sheesh, even I, the crazy old dog lady, would not put up with that.......

reading again.....

My puppy let one rip this morning and chased his own butt looking for it. I think he was a bit shocked that something that loud came out of there.

We don't. Still would highly recommend quitting when you feel you've got your life balanced enough to tackle it.

I can't stand the thought of quitting. I feel that since I had to "give up" everything that I want, I shouldn't have to quit unless I want to. My Dr. just doesn't understand that.

Okay, koalas and Aussie men. I'm on it. I have seen more men than koalas, but I'm not complaining. Any other requests while I'm here? I'll bring back anything you want - except crocodiles. I don't like those.

*In my best Steve Irwin voice* Crikey! Look at that bloke! He's a beaut!

Okay I'll fess up I ONLY had two bowls of fresh, 100% natural, no additves of any kind homemade strawberry ice cream... I am after all hoping to loose 5-7 pounds

AHA! The truth is out. I sat here reading the posts and was wondering how someone could down 4 bowls of wonderfully fattening ice cream and NOT get a bellyache.

I was picturing more along the lines of a piston on wheels......

OMG

Karen -- I am laughing so hard I can't BREATHE!!! Dave is simply shaking his head . . . .

In case y'all don't know . . . I'm in a wheelchair . . . hence, "piston on wheels". Good thing I ordered new batteries for the wheels two weeks ago!!!!!!! May have to order new brakes, too!!!!!

Karen, you are the BEST

You know, I can sit here and laugh and chuckle and MY husband looks at me funny and shakes his head. He thinks we're a bit loony.

Oh my no... our geese don't poop

If we have purple glittery bats, how come we can't have geese that poop hypoallergenic flowers?

Hey --- I live in Kentucky --- Louisville, in fact, home of the Kentucky Derby --- and MINT JULEPS!!!!!!! I have a HUGE area of mint growing in my back yard . . . . know how to make the Julep Syrup . . . (can do it gluten-free), AND, Maker's Mark Bourbon . . . (Best in the world) . . . is Gluten Free . . . . oh yes, my friends, oh yes. Nothing beats sitting back at the end of a hot day sipping mint juleps . . . .

Thank Gawd for Lynne!! Maker's Mark

MMMmmmmMMMMM This homemade strawberry isce cream is very good... I think I'll get a trhid bowl of it...

TORTURE!!!!!!!!!!

Ya know . . . . as a "non-gastro" celiac, I'm very happy for you guys when you gain weight . . . . but it takes most of the sympathy/empathy I can muster to be happy for you rather than to be so envious I can't STAND IT. I have gained 100# since all this stuff started 3 years ago . . . 100 lbs. -- THAT IS A WHOLE PERSON. I was lean, in fantastic shape . . . and BOOM. Everything just went to He**.

So, I'm very happy for you that you gained weight . . . . I'm very happy for you that you gained weight . . . . I'm very happy for you that you gained weight . . . (saying this with very clenched teeth, but smiling . . . . )

Trying to stay happy in Rachelville . . . . .

I'm right there with you Lynne, I have actually gained weaight since being gluten-free.

So, I take it everyone in R'ville except for Vincent is going to be constantly trying to get arrested?! And I didn't even see the pics to figure that one out!

I JAYWALKED THROUGH TOWN TODAY!!!! TWICE!!

I currently have Bob's and haven't had a reaction but I know other people have. I think Authentic Foods is on a dedicated line but it is very expensive.

I use Bob's, but my celiac disease is not as sensitive as some..

Does this mean my new title is "Town Hussey"?

ROFLMAO OH GAWD!!!!!

I think I'm a little more sensitive than I thought to stuff, lol. Eggs have become the same way. I can still tolerate them hard boiled or as egg salad, but every other method of cooking makes me feel nauseated when I try to eat them. I think I need to listen more to my body, lol.

My neighbor suggested something for me as far as eggs go. he said that a lot of the smell (What I have a problem with) and the taste of eggs is in the yolk. He said to try to make eggs using egg whites and some seasoning and see if I can tolerate it. I haven't tried it yet since this was last night, but I will sure let you know if it works.

Vincent...I meant all you ice cream fanatics and recipe-givers, not just the ladies...

WEll dont I feel left out, again!

BTW my strawberry icecream was VERY good lastnight, rich and creamy and full of natural flavor... yummy!

You ladies are making me really want to buy an ice cream maker....I loove banana ice cream!

By the way, what is Vance's? I know that it's a powder and that it's something like milk, but is it for really lactose intolerant or what?

I've used Zatarain's Jambablaya, jambalaya with cheese, and their Spanish Rice and have not had any reactions. There are a few I haven't used though. We eat them regularly in my house and everyone's fine.

Dear Citizens of Rachelville:

As your resident Counsellor, I have decided that for morale purposes, we need to have a "City of Rachelville Citizen of the Year Award".

Attached is a picture of the trophy I have designed for such an award:

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-12/111.../cityofrach.webp

Does it get counsel approval?

Karen

GAWD!!! You have my vote for that one!!

Ohhhhh I wish I was an Oscar Meyer weiner

That is what I truly want to be

And if I was an Oscar Meyer weiner

Everyone would be in live with me.

ROFLMAO The secret is out now!!!

wait....R-ville is perfect, so we don't need counselors, right?? Karen's job can be the Altoids Sales Rep and Dispenser of Good Times.....but she won't have to sell them, just give them out freely, you know, at the parades and all, and the dances at the Town Square.....

LMAO

I happen to like Cabana Boy Vanilla Flavored rum. It's not really expensive and easy to find. I mix it with Dr. Pepper and make "vanilla Dr. Peppers". They're really really good. i've also used Cpt. Morgan, but never tried Bacardi and the others.
