Yes, I heard that Sheryl wants us to use one square of toilet tissue per "visit." Why did she and Lance break up?

I have my windows open and Let's Make a Deal on. Is the life or what? Snore.

Hey Cowp, sorry you're not feeling well. I'm home today, but it's because I had to drop my car off to be fixed, and couldn't make the train in time. Oh, well. :shrug: There are actually lots worse things than having an unexpected day off - especially if it's a nice day, and it is. Not as hot as yesterday - it went up to 90 degrees here yesterday and broke some kind of record, I hear. All I know is that it was HOT :hot: and they haven't turned the AC on in my office building yet. I had the windows open, and all I got was a hot breeze. Ack.
Today, though, is better. Maybe 70-ish, I'd guess. I dropped my car at the shop, my daughter picked me up and brought me home and then I did a 30-minute bike ride. Today my butt didn't hurt quite as much as it did on Sunday. I wouldn't say it was exactly comfy by any stretch of the imagination, but it wasn't excruciating, exactly, either. If I'm REALLY ambitious later this afternoon, I might go out again. I looked it up, and a 30-minute ride burns @ 324 calories. You'd think it would be more, wouldn't you? It seems so unfair that gaining weight takes so little effort and losing it is so danged hard! :( Don't worry, Kiwi, ole' Ella isn't likely to disappear anytime in the next decade. You all could come over for a tea party or something, tho :D
As I was riding my bike around the neighborhood, I saw a lot of folks cleaning the winter debris out of their yards and gardens. Ours looks like crap. It really does. I wish WE could find a guy like yours, Cowp...cheap & efficient, yanno? I swear, up here, they charge you a hundred bucks just to step into your yard. Neither DH or I much likes to be out there doing the heavy lifting. I don't mind planting a few flowers - my granddaughter likes to come over and help me with that - and pull a few weeds every so often, but all this other stuff is for the birds. Well, maybe not the birds. Maybe we should get a goat to keep the yard trimmed. Our neighbors would be delighted, I'm sure. :D

Don't chase your red bird away, Cowp...it may be trying to tell you something. Messages sometimes come through unexpected sources.

Maybe you could use your "paper" to make something similar to papier mache sculpture??? Might be interesting to mold some shapes & let them dry out. Then paint. Maybe small shapes to make a mobile? I'm partial to mobiles, myself. My son had a gigantic one in his room for years - he made it out of wire and styrofoam and string and paper and what-have you, and it was a great big grasshopper. Really *kewl*.

TTFN,

Ella :dizzy:

I will show you the paper so everyone can stop thinking it can be used for something.

If you're at work sick, how is it you're watching TV? I would like to send you some hamburger soup, but it is a bit messy. And I want to know if Briant Gumball :s: is all that entertaining or not all that entertaining. Because I have been to the dentist this morning and I have a big fat lip and well, I just want to know.

Peachie, I don't get how carrots qualify as sushi? When I buy carrots they just have carrots in them. But I'm pretty sure you should never buy sushi at a supermarket anyway. Unless maybe it is a Japanese supermarket.

Your paper-making adventure does sound a bit, um, well, less than satisfying. Perhaps it is too lumpy -- can you put more water in it to start with or chop the pieces finer? And you definitely need to use colors! Some odd little bits of something else would be interesting too -- got any feathers from that red bird? :devil:

I have a custom designed tissue box (cover) for FREE from Puff's. It's a beauty. Must have been from the puffs website, I can't remember. You design it and then print it out.

WHAT?? Are you serious? Why bother with any, just wipe your butt with your hand, Sheryl. She's lost her mind. She must be using a square of paper towel by mistake.

Well, my fat lip is starting to subside but I can't eat anything for another hour. I'm thinking a nap is in order. Unless there's something good on TV, eh Peachie? I had a big filling done this morning, and actually he put 2 fillings in the same tooth at 2 different angles. It was very, um, interesting? I will be a hurtin' Cowie later on.

Kisses and hugs. Get better right now, Cowp. By the way, how is the boychild doing? I got a very enthusiastic call from my mother last night telling me that she had broken her hip -- 10 weeks ago -- and they only just figured out that's what was wrong (they thought sciatica, she's been in constant pain). And the doctors decided she must have a complete hip replacement because arthritis has done so much damage to the joint. Even though the break is healing, apparently it is like gluing together 2 brittle crumbling pieces. Aargh! But she seems very upbeat about it all. They had only one time when they could fit her in -- and it's on her birthday, tomorrow. She's already had both knees replaced and seems to think this will be a piece of cake. My mom's turned into a tough'un, go figure! Not me, it was all I could do to show up at the dentist this morning and not chicken out. Although I am always cheered by the fact that the dentist and his assistant make such an adorable team. He was wearing dark green scrubs and a light blue face mask, and she was wearing bright pink scrubs and a pale pink face mask.

Sheryl Crow is very pawsubbly a mutt with a tiny butt. I use a roll of toilet tissue at most every sitting. Shaddup, Sheryl. Go save the whales or something. Toilet tissue isn't in danger of extinction. Ooops. IS it? If it IS, I'm heading out to get me a trailer truck full. I can't BE without toilet tissue. Nosiree.

Took me a long time to decipe the baber. I thought she was with a hot babe guy. My babe has only one final and it's the last day of finals. How will he get all his stuff home? Conjecture.

Somebody come take care of me. Or send George.

I am watching Bleak House and Daniel Deronda which is spelled wrong. Dickens wrote a lot about illegitimate people. Why? I'm told that when he married, his bride changed the sheets on his bed which had NEVER been changed before ... or maybe he changed them every three years, not sure.

OKAY,ENOUGH BUTT TALK---NEXT THING SHERL WILL BE ADVOCATING THE "YOU KNOW WHAT" SPONGES!!!!! OH HOW I MISS CYBERMOM SOMETIMES--ALL THAT ROGUE POSTING WAS FUN!!!---- i have just finished another bowl of my delicious o point soup---i think it was zero point---maybe one point-- i don't remember--the one with a whole cauliflower and some carrots and onions and ginger with chicken stock {pureed} i say yummmmmmmmmmmmmm the whole time i am eating it----not only is it not fattening---it must be soooooooooo good for me=------- i ate a pile of the hamburger soup with the two points the other night as well---i have decided that if you can find enough low calorie soups to eat,you can fill up,loooose a few pounds { so far,four} and feel like you are eating healthy---i am now on a mission to find and make low cal soup----and for some reason i especially enjoy the pureed ones----with GINGER---------------there--i have bored myself enough for one day.

one more thing---i just read a really sweet book called 'the birth house' for book club---it's a national {canada} best seller and takes place in nova scotia====it was SWEET.

George Eliot wrote Daniel Whatever. However, both have orphans, illegitimates and exotic creatures called "Jewesses."

I am too sick to care about anything.

not caring is a gift one gives to oneself----to be able to not care is the highest form of self-appreciation.

When I See 'hoofprints In The Sand"===i Always Sing It To The Tune Of 'riders On The Storm' By The Doors.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. My fave is "Break on through to the other side..." The Doors! I still pull out one of their albums and give it a listen every so often.
