I'll keep my fingers crossed for him.

Peachie emailed that she can't get into the forum again. I've sent her Suzanne3fc's reply to my question.

Just updating, y'know. Anyone know about this goofy thing called Twitter? Heaven help us, it's blogging via instant updates that people upload via text message from their phone, or on the web. Just what the world needs, to know where every single person is and what they're doing.

Someday I envision joining the 21st c myself and getting a cellphone that can take pictures and receive news flashes and crap. I'll do nothing but sit and play with my phone.

(I'm still in the dark ages, "getting by" with a prepaid cellpone that cost me $29)

Gotta go thaw my chicken for chicken nuggets.

Kiwi

oh no!!!!!cowpern is mad at me---i will duck myself into the duckhudda pond three times and then i will turn to the east and bow to cowpern six times and then i will send out a bag of pink chicken bones by rail.mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa!!!!!!!

Kiwi is soooooo ooooo oooooo smark. She found an alternate route for me to use temporarily.

I see ads embedded between posts and I don't see the jiffy-lube posting alternative at the bottom.

I thought Bagz-dh already had an academic award. I have been sitting here all depressed today watching the Jewel in the Crown and thinking the handy guy was coming next week on Thursday. Now I think he's coming this week on Thursday. House is a tip. I need a big spoonful of better mood.

Ds is going to see a volcano, is taking (but not learning) salsa and marengo or something, and saw a tv show Se Busca Un Hombre being taped in the street.

Johnny Depp is pretty but Kevin Costner is an absolute bore these days. He's on all the talk shows promoting his new film and saying things like, "People who follow my career know I wouldn't make a film without entertainment value."

:club:

ooooh, I can't wait fer the new Costner thriller.. it looks puuurfectly spooooky... although I do find him to be a bit of a snorefest -in most of his movies. Peachy, where is DS now? still in Meheeco? At a resort??? splain

The furkids got their summer cuts and look like Tabby cats with Siamese cat heads :dizzy: the fur was a flyin but they actually tolerate the clipping pretty well.

Wabby-June 16th will be a beautiful day with piercing blue skies, a soft breeze just when you need it and be dry not a hint of humidity --the bride will be glowingly beautiful, the groom starry eyed and kayden will be a princess in pink ! You will look fabulous and will be mistaken for the maid of honor.

baghead... what is it that dh does that he wins dustcollectors for ? When we moved DH couldn't give a carp about all his trophies,,pitched them with nary a sigh... I on the other hand made a painful moan with each toss.
I made a luscious fruit salad of nectarines, blueberries,strawberries and watermelon... A B C DELISH!!!!. and I bought cherries...better than pistachios - I have to break their evil hold on me!!! but they were 6 dollars a pound :yikes: ooh and I saw that tillabrook (sp?) cheddah at the new Trader Joes that opened. I didnt buy it for fear I would eat the whole brick :sumo:
dh is carping about the nectarines being sour, and the strawberries are sour...but the :blah: :rollpin: I think i will ignore him.

bagzdh is a tv star who did something investigative and amazing.

June 16 is the 15th birthday of the sister in the home where ds is right now. He lives with a family, shots, and fifteenth birthdays of Mexican girls are a big big deal. Let's all hope that ds has to rent a pink suit to wear. That would be so wonderful.

I called my haircutter today and she said she was in Lowe's and would call me back. She did not. I scacred her by saying I wasn't gonna dye my ahir anymore and wanted it short. Like the furbabies.

I have this pain in my stomach thing. Let's make it go away.

I don't like fruit because it's often sour. Supposed to be sweet. On the other hand, are you aware that peanuts have been improved? Remember when you used to buy a bag and had to pick out the rotten ones? They're genetically engineered and gone. Maybe they can unsour fruit.

But...but...didn't I say something like "I don't have a clue what's wrong but I'm sure it'll be all better really, really soon. Hee hee ha ha ho ho" ? Besides, Kiwi is the brains at 3fc. :D

Wheee! June 16 was/is my wedding (I actually first wrote weeding and then deleted it. Hmmm...) day too! Great choice. I will make absolutely sure that the weather is gorgeous, Wabs. From the way you described it, it's going to be a lovely wedding.

Poor Grandpa Jim. Hope he's OK. Man that old guy sure knows how to hang in there, doesn't he?

Well that ain't right. It almost does sound like there's some funny business going on there. You never know with all the small town "politics".

Oooh. When he's finished send him over here. My dh was being such a fussbudget yesterday whining about having to go to work, do a bit of shopping and cook dinner because I was so :dizzy: that I couldn't really do much. Such a senstive man.:frypan: He's driving me to the doctor this afternoon - "I'll just drop you off at the curb, right?", he said. :rollpin:

I keep hearing about Twitter but fail to see the point.


Isn't he though? I used to sort of like him but now he's on my other list right below Mel Gibson.

Well duh. Do you think we'd go just to see your old wrinkly self, Kevin? :dizzy:


Awww, we need pictures!

Wow, the fact that you made the fruit salad and then actually ate it counts as a cow milestone, you know? It's actually a tradition around here to buy fruit and watch it rot, right darlings?

Pain be gone! :wizard: There. All better?

Bestest Lovingest Wishes to Sugar Cube. :grouphug: .

We need :rain:

I need :moo:

I am cleaning my kitchen floor and the more I clean, the dirtier it looks. I mean the clean spots make the other spots ... you know. I mean Shots does not know but others of you know.

Someone post. :frypan:

Peachcow, I hope you're in without the IP# now, cuz look :eek:

Yeah, I used to think he was really hot -- I loved Dances With Wolves, but I have to admit he turned out to be not really the man of my dreams. Although in his favor, he was doing a movie on the Maine coast and rented a house owned by some friends of friends of mine who got their picture taken with him. They said he was really nice. :shrug: But jeez, some of the films he's been in :barf:
That would give me conniptions. Are they sports trophies? I guess it depends on how much you cared about what you got them for. We have some friends who moved last summer and when we went to visit them, they had transformed their very cool basement bar into a trophy room (with bar, of course...). He's a really good runner. It was fun to look at, because a lot of the prizes/trophies were oddball things.

I think so -- you have to know someone to hear about jobs in the first place, and then they often give them to relatives of people in charge. Even the school system; I've been disgusted with some of their hiring practices. Of course they post these jobs and interview everyone and their neighbor, but then they hire a relative of someone in the admin office.
I'm coming over there and :kickbutt: Not that mine's any more sensitive. Although he did just finish vacuuming the living room. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and go out and get a real job and then hold his feet to the home fires so to speak. He seems to have developed a domestic streak in his dotage :s:
That's right. I believe I'm rotting some bananas as we speak and perhaps a grapefruit or 2 as well :smug:
I'm afraid I know ezzackly. Of course, when I clean my kitchen floor, the tiles come loose, but that's just me...

DD is down at her grammy's house helping her clean. So she is earning money, and being a sweet girl at the same time. Lots of brownie points. She put in 3 job applications yesterday. Somebody is bound to hire her.

Kiwi

I can not get her by clicking on the link. That way, I get what you showed me above. Using the IP you shared, I can get here. As you probably guessed.

I am rotting assorted berries. And some greens in a bag.

Dogpatch Up North sounds like Dogpatch Down South. All in the family.

Just heard a show on NPR about marriage today and 70 percent of low income people do not marry. I think 70 percent of upper income do but I was concerned about the knowledge that low income do not marry and that @$# at my school job who has the mother of her niece working for her and is NOT in violation of the rule that says your SIL may not work for you because THEY DO NOT GET MARRIED>>>>>> Makes me mad.

I realize I like David Letterman and that type because when Kevin Costner goes on othe shows, they'll say how wonderful he is and how spell binding his films and how witty and all that crap while Letterman will suck his teeth and make a non-sequiteur. Not that I've seen Costner on there lately but I did see Obama the other night go on and on about the changes he'll make as president only to have Letterman reply, "That's a great suit."

Speaking of suits, I am trying to be helpful and looking for pink suits for DS. I found this one I can not get her by clicking on the link. That way, I get what you showed me above. Using the IP you shared, I can get here. As you probably guessed.

Speaking of suits, I am trying to help DS find a suitable pink suit and have sugggested this one. It's too big though so he'll have to tie a rope around the waist.

I am havng Deja Vu reading peachies wittiness

Sounds like Dullsville over Yonder (is yonder a prepostion?). I think everyone is this town is related, and if yer not in the volunteer fire brigade or best friends with the butcher's wife you're nothin'.

That ain't pink, it's salmon! Or apricot maybe? Or pumpkin mousse??

Well, I went to the ENT doc (not that one, Peachy, the other one, the one who whips out the scalpel and actually knows something) and he stuck electrodes on my face and blew hot air in my ears and made me hang my head off the side of the chair and look through some funny glasses and then told me I do indeed have benign postional vertigo that should go away if I do the handy dandy exercises twice a day. If I get one more stupid medical problem this year I am going to scream! :mad:

i am BORED BORED BORED!!! Now that life has settled down a bit.. I find myself so tired of being bored... I need a job too Kiwi and Peachie. That hiring practice crap happens all over the place... they post it to fulfill HR rules and regs only to already have a person in mind or already selected to fill it... and nepotism is alive and well.
GADZOOKS PEACH thats some zoot suit! why must he wear pink?
I have a cheap White :yikes: vinyl pebbly floor that catches all the dirt and refuses to give it up. I am embarrassed to tell you that I sweep, then dry mop it, then mop it, then spot scrub it...its a horror that never looks clean... I had a fantastic mud colored floor in my old home, it was tan, brown and grey...matched dirt puuurfectly !

I dont care for letterman or leno..I do like Jon Stewart and Conan Obrien.

oh dear Kiwi, take yer pic...softball,baseball,bowling, trapshooting, football... All Dhs... I had some for trap and skeetshooting, but they got tossed in a moment of a feeling "FREE of Junque!" I mourn them now ... next will be all the innane diplomas he's amassed for every bloody course he's taken for cisco. :dizzy: I added 4 recently with all the Villanova courses I took... they're pretty they're sitting on a shelf :rolleyes: somewhere....

Obamas has what .... maybe 3-4 years government experience in total??? I think he needs to get more experience personally.... I think we're gonna need someone /team of foreign affair experts to help START to FIX what has been done...

I have nothing more to say at the moment...perhaps in another moment or so I will post again

Well, you got to admit that I must mean what I say. Must mean what I say.

Have you all tried that thingies called THE ERASER ?? Mr. Clean makes one and other companies do too. I bought some and they will CLEAAAANNNNN Shot's floor. They kind of disappear as you use them and are bewildering.

dahlink, I should own stock in Mr Clean:D its just MAGICAL!!!!! loveit ! perhaps my calling in life is to test,sample cleaning products!!!!!

Ok, then. What will clean my carpet? What will get burned on grease off the stove? What will get mildew off the top of the shower? What will pick all the cat hair off the carpet? What will straighten the desk?

Spot Shot works best. Get a maid with a Bissell hot pro to shampoo them

Hot water with a steamer. Get a maid with a steamer to steam it

Pinesol with alcohol and mr cleans magic thing. Get a maid to do it.its icky work

Dyson The animal DC17 model. When you hire the above maid -make sure this is the vacumm she has, or instruct her to wear knee pads and go inch by inch with a lint brush.

A shredder . SHRED all things on the desk..maids cannot be trusted with this task.

Jeez. What is that?

A steamer like for veggies?

Isn't that a poisonous mixture?

How many vacuums do you have?

Shred CDs and stamps and little puffins and a Gameboy and vitamins? Is that what cleanies do?

You think YOU'RE bored!
 

I was going to suggest a maid too. Although I think you would have to say "cleaner" or some such nowadays to be PC while someone else is doing your dirty work.

Cleanies are not sentimental at all.

Me: Your house always looks so perfect. Where do you hide all your stuff?
My Bestest Cleanie Friend: What stuff?

Oh yeah and those magic eraser thingies are the bomb. But it kind of freaks me out that they disappear little by little. Where do they go??

I want to know that, too. Where do they go? What are they made of? 'Splain this Shotsie.

Did you see that the head of NASA said this, "I have no doubt that global - that a trend of global warming exists," NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said in a taped interview that aired Thursday on National Public Radio. "I am not sure that it is fair to say that is a problem we must wrestle with."

"I guess I would ask which human beings, where and when, are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now, is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that's a rather arrogant position for people to take," Griffin said.

To me he sounds like the really nice woman everyone in town likes, the one who started a rape support group because her dd was abducted by aliens in a spaceship, raped and returned to the bedroom. I mean she appears normal but ...

I Knowwwwwww Suggie!!!!!! Where or where I wonder!!!!It keeps me up at night!!!! ok,not really

check under the beds and in the closets...if not there, they are in the attic and basement, in large tupperware bins, labeled and color coded... if that is the case, RUN RUN RUN AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
or, just never move in with her or like stay fer more than a night... You might be scooped up and put in the washer--or in a tupperware bin... never to be seen nor heard from again.

I never thought of that!!! ..has possibilities, a multifunctional cleaning and cooking device!!!!! Peachers you are a GENIUS!!!!


this is why we need maids with masters degree in chemistry.

I have one now. My new DYSON TURBOJET THE ANIMAL DC17 in all its purple splendor!!!!!!!!!!

We have no souls, get high on the smell of bleach and snort dirt. but I even draw the line at Puffins!!! I would put the puffin in a closet,or under a bed, or in a tupperware storage box ..in the uh :chin: attic or ummm... the basement . :s:

Suzanne posted that yesterday -- so hopefully you are getting in normally by tonight? :?:
:lol: I saw that. Made me laugh too.

It's so nice of you to help DS get a pimp suit, Peachie.

Wow, you have a weird doctor, Sug. Was it fun getting hot air blown into your ear?

I'm going to go paint my chairs some more. And get severe bug bites, I assume. My legs already itch like crazy. Eek But hopefully by tomorrow I will have pretty chairs to photograph.

Meanwhile I want to see photos of the furbabies with their summer haircuts!


Kiwi

I just don't get that -- how is it possible????????????
:stars:

sounds like my sister Peach...

soooo: Dh is getting ready for a series of appts tomorrow, and for going back to work on Monday... and I haveta play secretary. I leave a message,and another and another for the cardiac nurse...we call the other office, I get the info DH requested - I relay to DH...and then the Spanish Inquisition starts..and of course, I didnt get or say all of what he needs.. soooo, I call back, I speak with Morgan (the nurse, who from now on will be called Natasha, because that is what I think her name should be -) I get More info, and answer More of DHs questions. I hang up... and then DH NOW WANTS MORE INFO AND HAS MORE REQUESTS!!! I say YOU call, he says No you call, I call and speak to Natasha:
Hi this is Charlene ... , (preg Pause) AGAIN!
Ken is a horrible boss, now he thinks he wants to pick up the med scripts and referrals .. and he needs another copy for work...could you have it ready?
Natasha: does he want me to mail the scripts and he will pick up the refferal?
I :blah: to ken like a parrot,saying "oh Natasha he is right here,very busy with laying on the couch, let me interrupt him." :s:
Ken, :blah: Ken says: I'll pick them all up, then "mouths" to me "dont forget to ask her if she is at that location today and the other copy i need for work".. :dz:

Schatz: Natasha, Ken will pick it up and he needs :blah: and are you at :blah:
Natasha: Yes, if he can get here by 4 I will be here to give him the :blah:
Shatz: ooooh, he'll be there , I can't get him out of here quick enough.
click
Schatz: Why did I have to call her yet a 3rd time Ken? Why couldnt you talk to her?

DH: "Why should I make an *** of myself , you did so well with the first 2 calls I figured you had a rapport with her" he heh heh...." funny funny what a riot..

Why do men do this???
SK

Kiwi, you snuck in whilst I was on my :soap: ...hhheeeeeee
.. I have the same problem.. everyone can sit outside, or do stuff... and nary a bite
not me, them black flies, chiggers, skeeters, noseeums eat meup alive!!!!!! I wear Deep Woods, natural scent, or Avon crap to ward the :dracula: off.

Yessiree, I've heard that Avon Skin-So-Soft is the best insect repellent. I don't get bitten much but dh and ds11 sure do.

Yup, right up there with Giving Birth. :D The do it to irritate the nerve responsible for balance. And boy, does it get irritated - you get so dizzy you think you're going to fall right off the chair.

Pay attention: This is my medical discovery. I have not-a-pain but a discomfort sometimes in my upper left abdomen and I know there's a diverticulicity thing there. This is my discovery: PAY ATTENTION ... YOU MAY NEED TO KNOW THIS!!! If I put something .. a penciil, a pen cap, a stick of pack of gum under the left bosom and let it sit there all held in place by flappy booby ... the discomfort is ALL GONE. It's like the what-would-Bagz-call-it is whispering mean things to the abdomen and needs to be separated.

Are you astounded? Sugar, feel free to discuss this with your doctor while he's blowing in your ear with your head hanging off a chair and making you walk half-naked across the room to the table.

My hairdresser did not call me back. I spoke to her yesterday and she said she'd call back and didn't and I'm through with her. But she was good and cheap and near. What to do.

I wasn't gonna say nuthin Sug... been there, done that...taint fun- :barf: I know exactly what you are dealing with. :hug:

I say give her another chance peach... and when she comes, pre-tease your hair and hide pen caps, nubby pencillettes, and as a cracker jack prize stick a wad of teaberry gum behind yer ear.

Oh My Gawddd!!!
 

You guys are killing me :rofl: I think you've hit on a critical new scientific discovery, CowPeach!! You should contact the CDC or the AMA or JAMA and chronicle your findings! If I have thingamabob discomfort in the whosits quadrant I will rush to find a whatsis to put between the whichicle and phnopsicus. Have you tried a cat?

Lord, it sounds like I'd be puking all over the place. I hope it goes away soon :grouphug:

Because they are babies, of course. I make DH do all the insurance stuff. That way, when he has medical issues, he is the one who knows all about it and I don't have to do it :devil:

Guess what?!? DD got a JOB!!!!!!!!!!! The place she dropped by on a whim yesterday called back and wants her to come in and train tomorrow. It sounds like she might be on the front desk and also housekeeping, plus occasional serving at special events. It's a restaurant/inn with cabins that caters to the rafters in the summer, and it's right on the lake, so it will be a very pleasant place to work. I wouldn't be too surprised to see her entertaining at some point there; they often have live entertainment on weekends. :cp: Yay I'm so glad!!!

Whooie, looks like their website could use some proofreading...

I made lovely homemade chicken nuggets for dinner -- not fried, baked. Of course I did dip them in butter first and bread crumbs, but still I don't think they're too bad for you, may 100 or 150 more calories per person than chicken alone. And we have leftovers (uhoh).

Later chickies
Kiwi

By the way, check out the virtual tour on that website, it's cool. The living room used to be totally cluttered with (real) stuffed animals and birds; looks like they cleaned it up a bit. In the corner by the front desk counter, they used to have a children's corner with a trunk of toys and dressup things, racks of books etc. We've been going up there once or twice a year since I moved here. We'll be going a whole lot more this summer. :s:

That place is BEAUTIFULLLLL. Don't go messing with the wordsies. It's part of the woodsy charm. Loose Moose and all that .... I want to go there. I wonder if DS will find a job when he comes home. They'll be all et up, won't they? But he NEEDS one to pay car insurance. You're so lucky to have a kid who is not only close enough to visit at work but who is working at such a cute place!!

Did y'all see the Pirate Show? The scientist/exotic dancer who tried to act like Johnny Depp but who figured out things others didn't and saved the team but had a really bad attitude, got set adrift. I was so disappointed. We need more scientist/exotic dancers I say.

I was going to watch that Pirate thing but I forgot all about it. I got caught up in watching virtual tours of all the Big Moose cabins. I think I should just move up there to one of those cabins. You know, just in case DD needs me or something....

Yeah, I imagine DS might be out of luck with a local job if he hasn't already talked to anyone. When does he get home? Are you invited to the weekend in Puerta Vallerta?

Kiwi, dreamer

I am looking at your ticker and noticing you've been doing the 21 day challenge for 35 minutes. Nice going. I am proud.

I am invited nowhere and he has to get a job. Or find a way to make money without a job. Like .... going door to door and rebinding people's books.

BAGZIEEEE> Post of picture of you and Arnold Swartsxnas;fln'faas egger !!! How thrilling. Are you bigger than him? I mean .. your arse. Is your arse bigger? Just kidding. Maybe.

Dear Dr.Cowpernia,
I have a fat saggy cheeky arse. will sticking pencils and gumwads under each cheek help lift or reduce butt fat?
Thankyou,

Kiwi, that place is so freekin charming!!!! Mooses and birds and rafting and all that outdoorsy crap!!!! I want us to have a cow getaway there!!!! I want to drink margies, and toast marshmellows and eat elk and moose meat.
