moobe and moobe not
 

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.

i have no answer about the credit card===i am just amazed and impressed!!! WHAT did you buy???keep it goin!!!---and mayb you can put your insurance on it----HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!

a credit card in the hand is worth two in the bush
 

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.
:nono:

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.

Kiwi

I am still stressed. The science fair is tonight. DS doesn't like any opinion I have. He doesn't like me to look at him. He doesn't ... you know. Gotta go. He's coming..... !!!!!!!!!!!!

Signed,

Terrified Mom

Sissy they have written a book for you. I think it will help. I am suffering with Science Fair woes, myself. I can't help you.

Now I'm taking a nap before starting my lists. I will put in a load of warsh before I do.
You may want to plan your schedule around the fact that I will be starting to post lists by 11EST. You should be showered and dressed with a nice cup of coffee, I want lots of company.

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.

I have a headache
 

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: [

Kiwi

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.;)

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???

I really don't want to be at the office today. It's sunny out there. :cool:

don't apologize
 

Geez, Lush, if I accepted myself as I am, what would I do with all the time I spend obsessing over my house, my weight, my lack of well, whatever I lack????

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.

My list:

• Pretend to like Lush's list
• Only read Kiwi's list
  

• Detoxify
• Exercise
• Eat
• Sleep
• Read
• Stand up straight

Sandwich Making 101
 

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.

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 :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...)

Later cowies
Kiwi

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.

welllllllll---on the subject of scaly skin,you fat alligators,i must confess to this----dh called my feet---SCRATCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well,i do have terrible callousssssss on my heels and what not,but HOW INSULTING!!!!!!----i have begun a regime of pumice,foot cream and so on-----talk about feeling like an old hag--i got the hair cut and coloured and the eyebrows waxed yesterday-----this hanging around FREEZING to death in seven feet of snow does NOTHING for the glamour quotient------LUSH----have they found any of those teenagers who capsized off of City Island a short time ago---that was a TERRIBLE story!!!! i want a grill like the Plum's------ i have a lovely Belgian Waffle Maker that has a nonstick coating and makes big FAT waffles-------yummmmmmmmmm gaufres!!!!!!

Is it just me or does this site seem to be getting wider?
 

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? :bomb:

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?

Kiwi

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. :lol:

Peachers, you won't find Fat Arsed Grumpy Women like us any where else on the 'net. We are one of a kind.:smug:

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.

Bye. I miss the lists.

Oh thank you, Peachie darling. You are too good. What is restaurant the answer to? How cryptic.

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

THAT IS MY LIST----HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT PEACHARSE??????

MY LIST
 

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? :dizzy: Oh I get it. The asian student. Restaurant hey? Italian or Mexican?

wabby---i think we put them all to sleep with our scintillating lists.yawwwwwwwn---time to lay my weary bones upon my rack..................

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*:cookie: 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

Poor lushie----take some meds.---pssst---i heard Peacher had to go into detox.---bet than defib.

Peaches, Betty Ford??????

What's worse...
 

...a fever of 102 or Montezuma's Revenge , which is what I have!! Must have been those stupid chicken cannellonis! Poor Lush!

What? Peaches in detox?? George didn't sell you one of those colon cleansing thingies like in Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui, did he, Peachers?

Some doctor on some site said that if you get a migraine, you can make it go away by sticking your arms right up to the elbows in hot-as-you-can-stand water and keeping them there. Supposedly the veins or arteries or blood vessels or whatever the heck they are can't be dilated in your head and your arms at the same time. I have yet to try it because my sink is not shiny.

My affirmation: Tomorrow I will wake up bright and perky and NOT feel like cr*p.

Poor Lush. Poor Sugar.

I am so unmotivated today I don't even have a list.

oK. Enough. It's one thing to make fun to Lush. That's fun. That's relaxing. But yOU SHOULD not MAKE fun oF meeee

Besides I feel thinner and less toxic already.

I took DS out of drivers ed because I just can't afford any higher insurance rates. He can driver when he leaves home. Until then, he can stay in his room. No public transportation here.

My list:[list=a][*]Look at food[*]Eat[*]Clean dishes[*]Burp[*]detox (this is out of order)[*]wonder what Lush's dog looks like[*]drive ds to science fair extravaganza[*]breat[*]stand up straight[*]rest[/list=a]

Here ya go --
 

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
"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:

Still looking for the detox recipe. Later

Kiwi

Re: Here ya go --
