I don't care for Lush's technical-textbook-boring lists but I do list Kiwi's. LOL at what you accomplished there.
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?
Originally posted by Wabby I spent the am painting the laundry room. I've got to get this done so I can put my washer and dryer back and resume my usual laundry schedule. You know who would be proud of me. It's sooooo sanitary now.
Hey!! Good job! I'm inspired by your example! That and Lush cleaning her laundry room floor! I could maybe do that someday.

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 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.

Originally posted by Lush 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.
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 ...I don't think so...)
OK, youse guys, I am giving up all my hair stuff and getting new hair stuff. Neutrogena. How's that? I have been using a conditioner improperly. Rubbing it in and now rinsing. Think that's it?
Now my confession. MY NAILs ARE CHEWED DOWN due to GUILT over my RUDE comments to LusH which were meant to MASK my JJealousy of her ordered life and ability to count to ten and stop.
I HAD SADID MORE BUT it's gone
But this: If you're keeping up with Fly, you will know that you may join a Fly Group right in your own neighborhood. I joined mine and found it populated with young moms who want you to go look at pictures of their babies. Where are the FAT ARSED OLD GRUMPY women who will make me feel young and lovely and smart like you cows do. By comparison, I mean.
Sugar, that is a silly machine. You can use a skillet. Give that to the butcher's wife.

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.

Fat Arsed Old Grumpy women = FAOGies
Yes, that's us.
So we've got scratchy feet. Wanna make somethin' of it?
Instead of my DVD workout today, I dug out an old Jane Fonda aerobics tape. Good god it was awful. I mean just the hairstyles (circa 1986) were enough to give you cramps.
Everyone should go to SWAPPINGTONS and sign up, so that I can get referral points (my user name is kiwikath) because so far I don't have any points and how can I buy other people's stuff when I don't have any points???
I'm bored. What should I have for dinner? How did the science fair go? Did DS burn dirt again?
See Kiwi? That is why your friends love to visit you, doesn't have a thing to do with your abode.
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.
Peachers, you won't find Fat Arsed Grumpy Women like us any where else on the 'net. We are one of a kind.
Friendly Freezer group? Sugar? Where is this? Can I waste hours and hours if I subscribe?
Wabby spelled exczema right! I think. I have the same kind of thing as your ds Wabby - contact dermatitis, only on my hands. Get it from detergent, household cleaners, nickel and latex.
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!!
Must go to bed. You all can stay up and have a great time without me. I made chicken stuffed cannelloni for dinner and I won't be handing out the recipe (made it up myself) because it was yucky. So there.
I signed up, Kiwi, just for you. I have no idea what it is and don't intend to use it. I am just a sincere person who will go out of my way to do a good deed.
I am eating more veggies now. I will cook them in my sandwich maker. First, I will cook steak in the sandwich make as I don't have a George Foreman grill. Then the veggies and potatoes. Then cereal.
Wabby the answer was restaurant. Boy was he cute!! Class clown, I think. When the other kids first saw him, he was singing some movie song. They love him.
here is my list:
1.go to brothers and give present
2.come back home and fry porkchops and mushrooms
3.feed ds and dh
4.go to superstore and buy junkfood [light pringles and bridge mixture]
5.go to glass me *** class and make dining room lamp
6.talk about everyone we know and swear alot
7.make dd tape American Idol
8.Come home and yell at dh for not watching the murder on Law and Order so I can catch up during commercials
9.watch the midnight law and order til i fall asleep.
THAT IS MY LIST----HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT PEACHARSE??????
1. Go home and make something very quick and easy for DH's dinner so that I can go out for a fabulous meal w/ my 2 sis's and niece without guilt.
2. Remind DH to hook up the washer & dryer if he wants clean shirts by morning.
3. Remind DH that he still hasn't put the filter back in the furnace. Blame all the dust in the house on that, not that I haven't dusted.
4. Go out to dinner w/ sis's and niece. Eat way too much, don't skip dessert.
5. Get home in time to tell DH that since he didn't hook up the washer & dryer, he will have no warm shirts for tomorrow.
6. Clean up misc. dishes left by DH.
7. Lights out.
There. Was that boring enough for you?
Peaches, if restaurant is the answer, what was the question? Oh I get it. The asian student. Restaurant hey? Italian or Mexican?
Remember that new girl, Frappy? She detoxed and wouldn't tell me the details. Well!!! So what!!! I am now detoxing and I won't tell the details either. Except that it involves drinking things that are not easy to drink. I'm telling myself I'll do this for three months.
You were right, Wabby. So smart. *pat* *pat* Have a cookie.
My list:[list=1][*]detox[*]shower[*]eat[*]wake kid[*]drive[*]volunteer[*]eat[*]volunteer some more[*]eat[*]rest[*]go to science fair thing[*]drive[*]sleep[/list=1]
I suspect you're making fun of me. What is worse, is that I have a fever of 102 and I'm still chubby.
I think you should be nice to me today.
BTW...good lists
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?
...I don't think so...)
Have a cookie.
