I am stressed. I am worried that Lush's list will have a repetition on it again. I can't stand that. Why doesn't she get a proof reader?
When ds gets his learners' permit, will my insurance go up? I can't afford this.
Why did that person say that Marcella thought she was funny when anybody can see how things go here just from reading the subject lines.
Today I intend to go interview a student who transferred from Asia. Is he an exchange student? Does his mom and pop work in a local restaurant? Inquiring minds want to know.
I took Herbie's credit card out yesteray and exercised it. Do you think he'll mind? When will he decide the time is right to yank it back?
I want answers to these and other questions when I return.

Yup! Pay for the drivers ed course in advance with the AmEx Platinum and see what happens. Kids here can't get their licenses until they're 18 and it costs about $2000 to do it. Still a suprising number of idiots on the road.
Small appliances I have had to replace in the past week in case anyone cares: toaster, sandwich maker, iron. What will blow next? I can break anything by just looking at it.
Hi Cherry! It's always so nice when you stop in to say hi. Way to go on the exercise routines!

sandwich maker? Sugar? In this house, that's me.
I bought a big crock pot and some nice digital scales that measure fat and some socks and dinner items while I was at it.
He told me to get the crock pot. He has one that has never been used except when I've used it. I asked if I could have it and he said, No, he couldn't give it away because his dds gave it to him. Is that stupid or what? I should sic Fly on him.
And I gave him nice scales one time. When I moved out, he offered me the choice of his old inaccurate, hard-to-see, worn out scales. I won't be discussing this purchase with him. I just thought I deserved nice scales, too.
It is nice to have Cherry come by. We should talk about her more often. (just kidding, Cherry) Where are the slackers? I need a list to mock and reports from the working wives.
I did tell Herbie in an email about how stressful that car day was for me and I mentioned his grandson whispering my arrival and how that was uncomfortable. I didn't get a reply and worried that I had p****d him off so I called him in a couple of days. He said, "I got your email. You really need some SJW."
Not ... "I should've been on time." Not .. "I should have left word for you." All my fault. Naturally.

Peaches, your insurance will only go up after he gets his license. Apparently insurance companies think that they can't do any damage as long as you're sitting next to them.
Are you northerners still chillin'?? I actually have a couple daffodils blooming. :cp:
My opinion of Herbie is sinking to new lows. What a stinker. Not to mention a pompous *ss.
I spent the morning a a laundromat, because the floor guy hasn't got my laundry room floor done yet. I don't know how regular laundromat ppl do it. It is the most depressing place on the face of the earth. Not to mention expensive! It cost me over $3.00 a load of laundry. I'd be broke if I had to do that all the time.
Sugar, I hope you don't graduate to major appliances. The small ones cost enough. I gave my Geo. Forman grill to DS when he moved out. I will have to replace it. I miss it already. He has a nice apartment w/ all new stuff in it. I wonder if he will actually keep it clean. I may be annoyed if he does, because he never cleaned up after himself at home.
Peach, I sure hope Muffy doesn't read that line about the asian student's parents. It wasn't politically correct.

Good God. You have the most disfunctional non-relationship I've ever heard of. He's a big butt:doh:head.
Congrats on the new appliances, Sug. I guess. I have an awful lot of broken stuff in this place too. Some things miraculously fix themselves. I think I have some sort of bizarre electrical field around me that breaks things all by itself.
DH had a meeting until 7:00 this evening, so DD and I ate dinner long before that and I washed up all the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen (we're having company tomorrow), so he had to make his own dinner. Then he washed all his dishes :eek: ! There may be something to that Flyloony after all.

I have to agree that the solution to your Herbie problem is the liberal use of that credit card. Thank him for his concern, tell him you've started taking SJW at his suggestion and then go shopping.
No, what I really think you should do is lay low until you move. THEN use the card. Think furniture store. Think carpet and drapes. Oh, this will be so much fun.
In NJ, your insurance rates go up as soon as teenager turns driving age...no matter whether they have a license or not. Here, they do not see having no license as a deterrent to driving. Of course, the law saying you have to have insurance is no deterrent to driving without insurance, either. They just can’t win in NJ.
Do you guys really find Flyhag successful? I am overwhelmed by the volume of messages. If I get it on digest, it is too much to take in at one time. That is why I have to stop here seventy times a day. I need things in small doses.
I’m home today and cleaning. There will be no repetition in my list. I will spell things wrong so that it seems different. You will be tricked.

I don't think this is what I meant when I said to be here to greet me when I started to plug away on the dump. What are you people doing? Living your own lives? I think that is hostile to my efforts. I'm telling.
start 11:34
1. get book on tape It is called FreeFall I don't have much hope for it. I am currently listening to A Widow for One Year in the car. Everyone says it is such a great book, but I can't get into it. So, I'll try this.
2.unload dw done
3.load dw done
4. shift wash you may want to know that earlier I not only shifted the wash but also vacced the laundry room floor, which means I could see the laundry room floor, a miracle in itself.........done
5. vac houseI'm amending this to be vac fr....I don't have the attention span to vac the whole house
6. dust house ditto....I'll dust the fr.....
7. spend one side of book on tape in DS10's room
8. call metlifeI'm so good,I even called the bank and arranged DS10's bday party usual skatepark party
9. spray toxic stuff on bathtub to get rid of water stainsI'm suffocated, but I did it. I'm sure Flyhag isn't plagued by water stains
10. check in here.I"ll do that now. I haven'tdone DS's room, but nobody is perfect
I know that is a repititious list. I can't help it. Sissy should use her credit card to buy me a cleaning lady.

and PMS. And this morning before those things attacked me, I invited some friends over for dinner. Not because I wanted to make dinner for people, and certainly not because I wanted to clean the house to the point of even minimal decency. But because I ran out of the excuse that I was taking DD to her guitar lesson this afternoon and wouldn't be available to entertain. They cancelled it on account of bad weather. Our friends are in town for a funeral, so I'm sure this will be a cheery meal anyway.
So here's what I have to do in the next hour:
Clean the bathroom DID ½-ARSED JOB
Vacuum the LR DONE
Get the giant pile of clothes (mostly DH's) off the only "other" chair in the LR FOUND IT ½ DONE BY DH & FINISHED IT
Shift the wash MADE DH HANG HIS OWN SHIRTS
Get DD to empty the dishwasher DONE
Get DD to take out the returnable bottles (need room for more...)DONE
Send DH to the store DONE
Start the chili AND ATE IT TOO
Apologize for the dump DONE WAY TOO OFTEN AND DIDN'T DO IT ONCE TONIGHT! :smug: [

Peaches, of course DS doesn't like your opinion. For one thing, you're going to have to earn your credibility back. Remember, you once thought Herbie was ok. At least you got some good trips out of him. Paris and the Greek trip for DS. Why don't you tell Herbie that the SJW didn't work and you had to buy a vacation w/ his credit card to get you over the depression. I like that idea.
Wow, Lush, NJ is tough. Insurance goes up just because you have a live teenager in your household? Are there alot of 16 year olds left abandoned on street corners because their parents can't afford the insurance expense?
Kiwi, what? don't they feed ppl at funerals anymore???

Kiwi, don't feel sorry about the state of your house. Last night, I went to a friend's house on our way to a viewing(no food). It was a mess. She did not feel bad, I could tell. It was so relaxing to be there. Of course, I didn't eat anything...only joking. Anyway, maybe we should just accept ourselves as we are. We aren't fooling anyone anyway.
Why don't they serve food at funerals anymore? In our family we always have a get-together after a funeral or viewing. It is a pleasant end to the events. Last night was kind of tame. Two sons, were the only family. It was quiet and no one was drunk. We would never allow that in our family. Who would cause the requisite scene at the end of the night?

I think I have ecxema. What should I do about it? It's red around my scalp and not itchy but flakey. I went to the health food store and he tried to sell me $86 worth of stuff to detoxify me. I didn't buy it but I did think it was a good idea so I took his list to another health food store and got the stuff for $56.
I still want to know what a SANDWICH-MAKER is and how Sugar broke hers.

It looks kind of like a waffle iron but you put bread in it with cheese or whatever inside and it toasts it and cuts it into neat, tidy triangles. If you want to get really fancy, you brown some little breakfast sausages and then put pancake batter in the machine with a sausage in each triangle and it makes the cutest little turnover thingies. I learned this from the Friendly Freezer mailing list which you should all join because there are only 200 e-mails a day and I know you have nothing else to do.
The old sandwich maker wasn't heating up properly any more and had a big chunk out of it from the time I dropped it on the floor. 'Nuff said? It was just unsightly so I splurged and spent $11.99 on the new one.
I have just awful ecxema (is that how you spell that?) on my hands right now, but mine is read and itchy and scaly and downright ugly. Comes and goes. Peachy, what you have could also be psoriasis, which is treated differently from ecxema. Have you had your hair coloured lately or started using a new shampoo?
Hi to everyone! Must go to bed now.

Well, I don't know -- they do at every one I go to. But they were so grateful for a cheerful face that we forgave them for making me cook :dizzy: They had been to the funeral of a friend's 24-yr-old son who had been living in NYC and had come home for the weekend and shot himself in the middle of the night :( Isn't that horrifying?
Then I got distracted and put way too much tomato in the chili, but everybody claimed they loved it anyway. And these are my cleanie dietitian friend and her workaholic dh. I often wonder how they can stand to come to our house, but maybe a little (lot) dirt is refreshing once in a while. They brought their adorable dog, who rooted around everywhile trying to flush out a cat, but never found one (although once he did find something crunchy over in a corner -- I don't want to know what that was...). She did find Molly's old basket of dog toys and enjoyed several of them. We are going to dog sit for her in a few weeks.

Thanks -- in fact I didn't apologize -- I have to obsess about it beforehand or I wouldn't do anything at all. I always forget that my friends seem to put up with me in spite of my slackness.
What an interesting list, Peaches. Have you been using some new kind of shampoo or other product?? That sounds like a skin sensitivity to me.
Hey have you seen that they are advertising some new crustless peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the frozen section? They look kind of like they were made with one of Sugar's sandwich makers.
I like your new slogan, Sugar. Those pancakes sound yummy!! I don't have a sandwich maker, because the only kind I have ever seen used were castiron ones that you put in a campfire, not the electric kind. I do have something that is supposed to go in the microwave that is kind of like a sandwich maker, but I've only used it for a single hamburger. I should see if it would make pancakes like that. That sounds really good, and DH bought some breakfast sausages to fry up tomorrow (he thinks he is losing weight because he doesn't eat his lunch out anymore....hmm :chin: ...I don't think so...)

Could be -- I never rub in conditioner; I just sort of distribute it along the hair and then rinse it out. I don't suppose it belongs on your scalp. Hope you have solved the problem. We wouldn't want you to get a reputation for rosy forehead.

My older sis and a good friend stopped by yesterday evening to shoot the breeze. I just love my friends. It makes me so happy when they stop by. :)
DS gets exczema, Peaches. He never ever had a problem with anything like it until he started painting cars, using chemicals & paints, etc. The Dr. said it caused him to have a immune system reaction and now he has to very careful around any kind of paint. He has a prescription cream that he uses that really works, so maybe you need to go to your Doc and see if they can give you a prescription. I'll find out what it's called if you would like. :^:
Hey Bagzie, I have rough and tough feet too. In the summer I actually spend money on pedicures, but in the winter it seems kind of spendthrifty. Although I suppose I should get one every couple of months just to keep up my feminine illusion. :lol:

Friendly Freezer is at Yahoo. Sometimes I just can't keep up and have to delete all those fabulous (fatty!) recipes.
My feet are scratchy too, just imagine that. And no matter what FlyLady says, they get scratchy when I wear shoes!!

What machine are you???????????????
I read that whole website, and also read a book about fasting. Then I tried fasting (not juice, just water) for 3 whole days and decided I never ever would do that again. It was insufferable.
And just in case that doesn't influence you...
from The Deep Detox (http://www.freedomyou.com/fasting_book/water%20fasting.htm)
"I have been on a thirty-day juice fast where I accomplished more, worked harder and experienced a greater sustaining energy than I did in a non-fasting state. When day 20 hit, it was like fireworks. My co-workers couldn't keep up with my zipping and zinging here and there, joyously whistling as I worked, every cell energized with fresh juices. I did have some detoxification dips, but they were not immobilizing and after an enema and an extra ration of carrot juice, I was fine. Not so with water fasting. For me water is one big long detoxification, the deep detox, where all the toxins in my body become fuel. The body is fully focused on burning up and clearing toxins. Blood is saturated with carcinogens, mucus, trans-fatty acids and other byproducts of the North American diet. We recommend juice fasting to those who have never fasted unless they have a calling by God to water. And this is an important point, God leads people to water fasting in the 21 century and he will sustain you during a called fast. But you can also call yourself to a fast from being sick and tired of your spiritual apathy, pressing in to make serious life changes."
Don'tcha just want to run right out and do that? :rolleyes:

It is snowing its little head off around here. My kids are excited to go out and play. I wonder what they did with their snow gear? I'll bet you a thousand dollars that no one put it away.
I am wounded at all this list-mocking that is going on around here. If there is any more of it, I will report it to Suzanne. Kiwi will naturally take my side. It will become a war of huge proportions. I'm sorry there are no new people to draw into the war, Peaches chased all of them away, but it should be fun anyway.
I think I'm better. I slept on and off for 36 hours. I'm going to go do something useful with my time. There will be no list because I'm too lazy.
BTW...I am further along in A Widow For One Year and it is pretty good. Still not the best book I've ever read, as it was billed to me, but good.

There is no reason I shouldn't mock Flybag. She is a complete phoney. Did you read her bio? She's a nut, too.
I'm still sick. All I can do is sleep. That is all that is wrong with me. I have to get up occasionally to stretch all my sore joints, then I sleep again. I should detox while this is going on...I'll be completely rested and detoxed.
It isn't nice to mock my lists because:
1. I'm sick.
2. If being thought of as boring was a deterrent to posting here, I would have stopped five years ago. I find this post no more boring than my lists. Read it. There's nothing interesting here. Put a couple of numbers in and it is unrecognizable from a cleaning list.
3. What I'm miffed about is that none of the nice people have come to my aid. They could have lied and said something nice about my lists. Maybe the nice people aren't really all that nice.
4. The agitator around here is that nasty Peaches. She always is mean about my efforts to be perfect. Once she is detoxed, she'll be impossible.
5. On closer inspection, it turns out that I also have a headache. I'm not just tired and achey, I have a headache, too.
6. that's all, I'm tired of this.
I'm sure something interesting is on TV...bye

Wow. Whatta bunch a whiners. If you only had a sunny disposition like I have, it would be sunny and lovely outside instead of frigid and snowy. I take full credit for the springtime day outside my window. I have daffodils and those little blue iris thingies blooming. Also a soft pink rhody.:cool:
Bagz, if you learn all that codes and image attachment stuff, I will be very jealous. I don't even know how to do the quote thing correctly. I accidently send HUGE photo attachments in my email. I'm a computer illiterate.:?:
I quit the flynag's group. I may have to sign up again if my house doesn't get it together soon. My problem w/ the flynag is that she has a cleaning lady!!!! , for cripes sake. How can you act so pompous and self righteous when you're not even doing it yourself????
I'm reading
Plain Truth which is very good. It's about an 18 yr old Amish girl who has an unwed pregnancy, and when the baby ends up dead she's charged w/ murder. Then a big shot attorney who is visiting relatives because she is having a moral crisis becomes her defense attorney. Good book.

Wabby, that book sounds really good. I am reading Frankenstein, Modern Poetry, and Literature Anthology. I'm not remembering a word of it and I have to say something interesting this week.
Lushie, I like your lists. They're much better than my lists, which look like:
Get up at 3am and try to drive to work without crashing
do work
walk with dh
Come home
vacuum
exercise
get ds7
attempt to study
pass out on couch while trying to study
fight with ds14 when he decides not to tell us something important until about an hour after his bedtime, which is about four hours after my bedtime.
See how much cleaning? I'm a hypocrite.
On-topic- I've had days where I've kept my calories to about 1200, but my average is closer to 1500. According to Fitday, and accepted nutritionist wisdom, I should be losing 2 pounds a week. Yeah, right. But my heavy weight tapes are fun.
Sugar P, I hope you feel better. Also anyone else who is sick. I must run-- too much reading, not enough time.
That fasting guy is just a little too excited about enemas. Having had one (NOT by choice), that is an experience I NEVER want to repeat.

It all depends on which vB Code style you are using. When you are writing a reply, the vB Code is on the left above the smilies. In Normal Mode, you have to write everything you would want in a particular font in the box that comes up. When you enter that, the font change ends with it. In Enhanced Mode, you choose all the font/color etc changes you want, write whatever you want, then hit the Close All Tags button when you want the fonts etc to end.
Good Luck

Hi you big bunch of old hags. I'm feeling better. Guess what that means????? Yes, yes. And I have a specially boring one today because all of you kicked me while I was down and mocked my lists. All but Cherry. The nice girl.
First, I must talk to Wabby about Curves...isn't it wonderful? I think everyone should run right out and join. It is almost painless. It fits my attention span perfectly. I don't have to do anything for more than 30 seconds straight. Plus, I've met a ton of new people and now have workout friends. They are much more loyal and tolerant than my internet friends and I would dump the bunch of you(except Cherry) for them in a minute if I had a way to transmit my cleaning list to them.
Bagz, did you see Peaches' offensive anti-Catholic joke? She didn't have the nerve to post it here because with all that lovely curly hair, you KNOW the 3fcs are probably Catholic. Protestants just don't have the lovely hair we Catholics have. I think that is why anti-Catholic bias is so socially acceptable. They are jealous.
Should I cook dinner? I think I will. My family deserves dinner, I guess.
Here is my list:
1. get book on tape ( A Widow For One Year is so good) done
2. shift wash done
3. Put dinner in the oven done
4. unload dw done
5. load dw done
6. clear counter
7. clear table
8. Clear dr table
9. take trash out
10. check back here.
Yes, it is a dull list. But, why would I care?

I thought it was a dumb blonde joke. I was going to be offended, but I guess I'll let you be offended. Good luck with that boring list. I have to go make some dinner and then withstand the onslaught of the teen girls. I already had to nix their watching an R-rated movie, that one of the girls was going to bring. I hate being put in that situation. You'd think their parents would have better sense. Maybe I should tell their parents if they want to bring R-rated movies, we're going to serve them all mixed drinks. :lol:

As oldest haggiest baggiest-eyed hag here, I am USING MY VETO POWERand demanding that SHIFT WASHbe banned from lists on this forum.
Here's what I did today:
Sat between a slightly masculine woman and two people who didn't speak English and who ate all day
Had a quesadilla for lunch
Called Herbie when it was over as his bubba is in town and I thought I might see him
Saw him
Drove to get ds
Why are you reading this?
Came home
That's all
[/list=1]
Kiwi, do you think that when the dd goes to other houses they show her those movies? The Duke forms this include one to allow your kid to see R rated movies. They explain that they would be shown for a good reason like a film critic class or philosophy. Also, this year, 10th graders may leave the campus without a Duke escort. For one hour after dinner. Or is before dinner? Anyway, they won't get far.
I am going to the dermotologist on Tuesday. Herbie will pay for it . That's kind of him and I asked him to do it anyway. But the [list]
real reason
he's paying for it
is that he has spider bites
or something
and he thinks it's something
he caught
from me
because of my rash
Herbie isn't blond.

Who says you can't teach an old cow new tricks? And to think that all this time I was painstakingly typing stuff into that silly little box! This is much more relaxing.
Through a strange twist of fate, I am neither blonde nor Catholic, so I quite enjoyed that joke. Fairly risque, but tasteful at the same time. It also reminded me that Pancake Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday) will be rolling around soon and I want you all to be ready.
Today we went to a trade fair called ABF - Auto, Boot und Freizeit. I'm sure you can figure out the first two, and the last one means "leisure time", whatever that is. Dh always gets free tickets from his company so we get to look at boats, cars, motorhomes, whirlpools and garden furniture that we can't afford. I ate some peach frozen yogurt and successfully avoided having both my shoes polished and my glasses cleaned.
Now I just need someone to tell me how to attach an image. If I have one saved on my hard drive what do I do?

Happy Birthday to Mr. Bagz :hb:
Lovely lil pics, Sugar. And Peaches.
Glad you found the List boxes, Lush. I can't believe you've been doing them by hand either. I thought you were a professional list maker.
Here's what I did today:
Spent too much time, but not too much money, grocery shopping
Found out my old bf was dumped by his fiancee, sent sympathetic email
Made French Chocolate Silk Pie, by request of DD
Made impromptu delicious dinner consisting of
Chicken breasts sauteed with garlic, lime juice and sherry
Mashed potatoes
Green beans
Lost my hearing while 4 girls screeched a lot
Served chocolate pie and washed dishes
Talked to my mother on the phone
Helped DH play the guitar. Badly
Dislodged the last remaining teenager from the computer and hogged it for myself
Didn't shift wash
Herbie is sounding more and more blond. Caught it from you, eh? When was that, the last time you shared a hat? Or was it the time he came over and rubbed his forehead on yours? Silly man.
Yes, of course, I know that DD has seen R-rated movies at other people's houses. A few years ago I used to tell her she couldn't, and if they wanted to watch an R-rated movie, I wanted her to call me for permission (she never did of course, but I think just other people knowing I didn't appreciate their showing her inappropriate material was enough to lessen the problem back then). She's old enough now that I don't worry about it as much. But I can't in good conscience let a bunch of girls from other families watch something at my house that they wouldn't be allowed into at the theater.

There wasn't always a list box, Lushpoo. Kiwi asked them to add it so it would be easier us all to emulate you.
This is the truth:
Herbie thinks I got the rash from the "d*mn cats"
I have been at his house and reclined on the sofa
He uses the sofa
That's how he think I gave it to him
even though his spots are on his calves
He also said
That what I have is dandruff (once he saw it)
But dandruff doesn't usually extend to ones eyebrow, does it?

Well, the girls finally went to bed about 1 am or so. Not that they got to sleep for at least 2 more hours. Slept till 11:00. I made them french toast and they are getting dressed finally. They're going outside to toboggan down the driveway :rolleyes: Hope they don't break anything..

IF cats give you anything, they give you fleas, and then you would have red itchy spots on your ankles and *not* above your eyebrows. Are there kind of white, shiny, scaly things too? It could be psoriasis. Peachy, don't listen to Herbie, just go to the doctor and make him pay for it. I suppose it could also be STRESS:mad: and therefore all Herbie's fault.
I'm turning over a new leaf. My kitchen has been spotless for two days now. I must be coming down with something. Laundry is of course NOT shifted. Just lying there in a damp heap until tomorrow.
Friday is Valentine's Day. I saw a recipe at Martha Stewart for home made heart-shaped ice cream sandwiches (could these be made in a sandwich maker, do you think?):dizzy: Very cutesy.
All these birthdays are reminding me that we also have the big Feb 28, March 4, March 11 Pisces Men Extravaganza coming up. Ds9 just wants to play computer games with his friends and eat pizza or something, ds6 wants chocolate cake and *no girls* at his party, and dh just wants to not be reminded that he's turning 41.

The party girls are gone. I offered to give them all a ride home, so that I wouldn't have to wait around for their parents to show up. :s: Now I am making bean soup with kielbasa in it for dinner. With garlic bread. And maybe a salad if I work up enough enthusiasm.
One of DD's friends gave her a thong for her birthday :o They certainly are a bunch of characters. Just before they left they requested that she play a videotape she had told them about of her singing a song when she was about 4 years old. It was so funny -- "I don't like it in a carseat" Priceless.
I'm shocked to hear about the state of your kitchen, Sugar. I had the kitchen table all nice and clean (and cleared off) for DD's party, and within 2 hours of them leaving I had it covered again. Yay for me.

Eeee! How could I forget ringworm? Doesn't that settle somewhere else, though? Let's face it, Herbie must have something to do with this. SJW can give you a rash, can't it? It makes you sensitive to the sun. Have you been sunning yourself, Peachy?
How can you work in the garden, Wabby??? Ours is still frozen. Lucky you livin' in the Deep South. I have no idea what latitude we're at. I only know that in Finland where my Canadian e mail pal lives it's still minus 17 so I'm not complaining.

we have about 6 feet or more piled up all around the house. Out here on the frontier we believe in keeping the snow up in the mountains where it belongs. This is Mt. Hood.

Yes, dear. Once, a long ago when I was still young and beautiful, I shared a house with three other girls. We were happy-go-lucky university students without a care in the world, until one day...
We were all home one Friday afternoon thinking "Geez, it's cold in here" and suddenly it dawned on us that the oil tank could be empty. Nobody told us we had to fill it up now and then!!! Our landlady had skipped off to somewhere really far away but we managed to get in touch with her and she told us who to call. Would have been a cold, cold weekend otherwise. Oh yeah, and the access to the oil tank was in the basement where her layabout daughter (sometimes) lived and that was locked up so we had to climb in a window to get to it. Good thing we were flexible back then! So we had heat, but a while after that landlady forgot to pay the water bill (not our problem, don't ask me why) so we were high and dry for a couple of hours until we got hold of her again.
Ahh, those were the days. Can you tell we were never bored?
Well, now my muffins cups are accounted for, but where's the rest of my stuff? I can't see anyone else in this household having any interest in black bras and meat thermometers, but you never know.

My dog tends to take underwear out of the laundry room and take it into her crate...go figure. I'm sure your bra is there, but I don't have the heart to unset my adorable dog, can you wait until she is finished with her morning nap?

Re: Has anyone else ever been this dumb... I don't know if y'all remember, but we used to run out of oil regularly in Germany. Dumb tanks don't have a gauge, so we wouldn't know we were out until the heat stopped. I hated that. Here, we have this lovely gas piped right to our house. I love that.
I am getting ready to do an hour and a half of pointless exercise. (Exactly what is this accomplishing, anyway?)
BTW, pages ago, we were discussing eczema. I'm keeping mine from being too disfiguring by using a Cetaphil knock-off cleanser and a Eucerin knock-off cream. Lotion don't do diddly squat. My current thought on lotion vs. Extra dry skin is that if lotion solves the problem, it's not extra dry skin. I try to soak the hands, then put the creme on, then avoid getting them wet as much as possible. I even use gloves for dishes now because I figured it was better than feeling like I should be wearing gloves any time someone else might see my hands.
Wabby, that was a great picture!
Bagzie- yay for walking and THANK YOU!!!!!
Hi Peaches and Sugar Plum and Lushie and Kiwi!!

I think we found your meat thermometer -- Someone stuck it in Bagz, cuz she did 20 minutes and SHE'S DONE!
I had another theory -- the muffin cups were jealous of the bra cups 'cuz they were so HOT and they swiped the meat thermometer to see if they could get just as hot. We'll never know. Muffin cups don't talk.
I have a headache again. I have to go take a shower. And drive DD to guitar lesson. I never get anything done. I have about given up exercising. And my kitchen stinks.

My long ago weiner dog used to have an underwear fetish. At least I always had new undies back then. They never lasted more than a month. :lol:
Bagzie and Cherry, you two are our inspiration. Oh yeah, that Curvey Lush too. And even tho I said I was bringing my workout stuff to work w/ me so that I would go to Curves on my way home, I didn't, sooooo I will just have to go walking this evening. Another sunny day, low 60's :cool: , so just smack me, will ya?
Black bra? Muffin cups? one and the same????

I went to the dermotolgist
except
after his name was D.O.
not M.D.
and he said
it didn't matter what it was
it's all treated the same
[/list=a]
I'm supposed to shampoo with Selsun and something else on alternate days or weeks. Not touch my face. Use non-scented things as the scents cause allergies. I have a prescription for something to put on my face but haven't cashed it in yet.
Snow is my favorite weather. If I had a little white dog, I'd name it Snowball ... Bagz

I feel that is an unsatisfactory answer...do you have contact dematitis?
I love Scalpicin. I don't know what it does. I do know when I have dry, itchy skin, it makes it stop itching.
My DH came home early today. He discovered that we do nothing until 5 minutes before he comes home, he's miffed. Turns out my kitchen stinks, too.
gotta look busy, bye

I guess he's just brilliant like most men

This is my life. These are the details of my pitiful life. I have
a big fat bloated belly
scaly scalp
haggy baggy eye skin
precious little ears
So Sat night DS will join his boy scout troop and go to Pensacola to see ice hockey. You know how cleverly I put him in a troop COLOR=crimson]IN ANOTHER D**N TOWN??[/COLOR] Well, that's where I'm supposed to go at midnight and pick him up. Welllllllll I happened to know from herbie's email andhe and bubba are going out-of-town for the weekend so i asked if I could stay there and I am. Even if it is HIS house, it'smuch closer to the pickup point.
tomorrow morning I'm going to talk to a social security guy. Wish me luck. Pray. Light candles. Meditate on snow. This is scary.

After all, I don't believe it, why should you? I weighed myself today, and after a week of avoiding exercise, I have <drum roll please> lost 7 pounds!! No kidding. Makes no sense, but hey, I'm not arguing. I'm going to enter it as my new interim weight in my .sig and pretend it's permanent.
Congrats on the idea of using Herbie's house while he's gone. This ex-relationship is working out pretty well, don't you think?
Wabbit, if you don't get some cold weather pretty soon, we may have to converge on your house and give you a swirly
Fondly,
