peachers there is NO question that you should double barrel herbivore with the Hyena remark ---i LOVE it-----just like when Princess Di called Camilla the Hun a Rotweiller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!he has no right sicking her on you and you should deal with an agent YOU prefer obviously---can we get rid of herbie----send him down the Mormon Speedway in his pyjamas on a Banana Peel????????????????

Bagz, you're a hoot! :lol: I love the Herbie/pjs/banana peel image. :cb:

Hey, I'm against any religion that knocks on doors, no matter where. Occasionally I'm torn because their values are in general quite worthy, but let's face facts here: they have their own secret underwear (I'm not kidding--click here) . How am I supposed to take that seriously?

Kiwi

kiwi you get into the weirdest stuff. I have Mormon neighbors and I sure don't think they wear those undies. Her tee shirts can be a little low and he wears those white teeshirts under his other shirts.

I WOULDN'T WANT ANY PRISON WARDEN DRESSING MY CORPSE!!!!----well maybe if he was cute---------------------------i hope no one gets their panties in a bunch over our remarks---as far as i know we are all heathen/christian cows------and of course their is Ms Mephisotpholes-------me.

Boy, them Freemasons are a laugh a minute, eh what?

Gee Bagz, I don't think they meant prison wards.... But thanks for another fun image!!

Kiwi, who had the most unbelievable dinner just now. Have to read my journal if you want to know what.

Holy Mormon underwear???!!!
 

Oy! The things you learn on the net. There were a bunch of American Mormon young men downtown the other day singing in a choir and handing out stuff but I never thought to check...

I addition to my hideous skin disease, I now have a killer sore throat which will probably postpone the OP next Thursday since I don't think they will put you under if you're sick. DAM! I want to get it over with and not wait another week. I am gargling with sage tea and taking herbal drops and just generally taking it easy to see if this thing will go away.

Go with the hyena remark, Peachy. It's perfect. You are just too much of a lady for the ol' Herbster. What's his Mormon name?

I went to look up Herbie's name but mean old Kiwi has made the link private. I found recipes and a really disturbing statement that I'm thinking of reporting to Suzanne. It says "No Peaches." That statement stands alone in a paragraph with no reference to anything and .... I have tears in my eyes as I write this ... I'm sure she was referring to MEEEEEE

We're on spring break this week. We're doing nothing. I'm forcing ds to volunteer at the library today against his will.

Sugar, you poor little sweet thing!!!!!!! Germs are so unfair when they pick on people I like.

I just like to whine
 

P.S. That link was in my diaryland diary, not my 3fc journal. I privatized some of my rants in my 3fc journal, cuz hey, I'd hate to delete such fine work, but I don't think I want anyone else reading them!!

alriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!!! i have to have margie night tonight as it would be blasphemous to drink on Good Fridee,right -----------anyone care to join me??????

You were allergy tested for lamb intestines? At Transylvania Medical Center or where?

Hey! I'm back here. Did anybody miss me???? No?

It's nice and sunny here today, too, Sugar. Sorry to hear you're a sicky. It's sunny today because yesterday I had the day off work.

The mormon underwear thing is not a joke. I had several friends who were mormon when I was a kid. Of course as soon as you get to be adults they drop you like a hot potato. Here's a webpage that shows you what they look like http://www.lds-mormon.com/veilworker/endowment1.shtml Along w/ a bunch of other hooey.

Wow, Kiwi, you can't eat alot of stuff. How about Chile Verde Burritos w/ margaritas? If you couldn't eat that, I'd be really sad for you. :cry:

Like a fool, I've volunteered to host my family's Easter dinner. We aren't religious, and don't go to church on Easter, but we believe in eating huge amounts of food, and sitting around complaining about how miserable it makes us feel afterward. I've already bought the ham. What else sounds good? It's so sad, we only have 2 Easter egg hunting participants this year. All the others have grown up.

Me again. Just thought that after learning to make the perfect cool whip dollop, you may want to pop over to this website and join the Peeps fan club. http://www.marshmallowpeeps.com

Heck no
 

Me, go to a doctor? Nah. I've never been tested for allergies. Those are all things I've had an allergic reaction to. The shrimp/crab/entrails items make my eyes swell up and I avoid them like the plague. Sugar's had lamb intestines I bet. At Greek Easter they make a soup called mageritsa out of lamb innards. I had it once, won't be having it again. The other allergies started only about 10+ years ago. They make my mouth and throat itch and swell up. I talked to a doctor about it and he completely ignored me. Reminded me of talking to DH when the TV's on. (And yes, I was paying him, I didn't snag him at a cocktail party or something) This is one reason I avoid doctors. I have found out on my own that this is an allergy to birch trees and related plants. Anyway, all the information says the only thing you can do is avoid the things you're allergic to -- "doesn't require medical treatment" :rolleyes:

I'm making 2 cheesecakes tomorrow, plus strawberry sauce. There are certain advantages to being the incompetent housekeeper of the extended family -- nobody expects you to host holiday dinners. :smug:

Have a Happy Easter!

Kiwi, who never misses an opportunity to rant about her allergies (can you say boooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrring?)

I can read Kiwi's pink, but I can barely make out Peaches pink. Is it because I had a birthday? I bet Sugar and Cherry can read it w/ no problem.

You're going to reach right through the computer screen and throttle me when you find this out: if you want to know how I get that color, hit the Quote button and look at the Color= tag. You're just going to kill me, so I'm gettin' outta here quick....

Kiwi

P.S. to Wabbit: And before I go -- here's a hint for looking at print that's too light for our elderly eyes: click and drag your mouse across it!

Wow, this is interesting about the colors. I'm using black, I expect three people to post about how stylish it is.
I am now typing with a brace. It is hard.
I painted my bedroom a grey/green. I know...you think I've gone psychedelic. Peaches, find something you love - a wallpaper or a fabric. Then pick your colors from that.
What is new around here, other than this color thing?
Is anyone else envious of WAbby's social life? I still don't have a clear picture of what Bunco is, but doesn't it sound like fun?
Sugar, how's the rash and throat? You poor thing, hope you're ok for Easter.
Bagzie, do you do Easter displays?
I think I'll go snoop at Kiwi's diary.

Sugar will live to eat another chocolate egg
 

Rash is much better. Sore throat is gone. Thanks for asking. I'm sure it was all just a stress reaction (or punishment from the gods for sending e cards to the children of married men, eh, Wabby?:D) More stress tonight when we go to the ILs for dinner. FIL has informed dh that he is expecting a bottle of expensive schnapps for Easter. Since we are no longer supporting his addiction, he will have to do with a chocolate bunny. Pththpffffff!:p


Hmm, colours for Peachy's house. I haven't a clue. Our house has no detectable colour scheme. I'd go neutral. Then you can paint over it if it's too boring. What happened to the purple house?

Spent much too much money on three rhododendrons today. They better grow.

fabric? I really like my khaki pants and red tee shirt. So glad Sugar is better. I'm better too. Since I gave up FOR REAL sugar and such things three weeks ago, I have not been tired all day long as in the past. Isn't that good? Update: the neckerchief guy explained that what he said was a poor attempt at trying not to say something else (about somebody else) so I'm ok with it and Herbie sent me what I had asked for in email instead of what the hyenah sent. I've thought about that and it bugs me because 1. he told me he went to Reno last year without me because it was her idea 2. to appease me she sent me some STUPID keychain from some place she visited with a message that I should ask Herbie to take me there (I gave him an old eraser to take to her from me but he wouldn't) 3. he told me he didn't want ME 4 but is rubbing it in MYFACE that his buddyship with her is still blooming by giving the lemme-be-one-of-the-guys-but-remember-I'm-cute-jerkette my email address. There.

A khaki house with red trim


How easy is that? Lush knows everything.

Herbie is mind-boggling.

You ladies
 

RED
KHAKI
RED
That khaki looks a little jaundiced doesn't it?

Yeah, I agree, how about this for khaki? Looks nice with crimson.

I have 2 gorgeous cheesecakes sitting on the counter in the kitchen plus 4 little mini cheesecupcakes. Now I have to make strawberry sauce. I'm going to be the most popular person at Easter dinner tomorrow.

Kiwi

This colour thing is sooooooo funnnnnnn!

Eggs have been found, waffles have been eaten and now dh expects l'il ol' me to go outside and dig holes for those rhododendrons. As if giving birth to two children wasn't enough work for one life.

Hope all you darling cows have a Happy Easter!

Easter happens to be a day I don't care to go to church because it's so crowded. I don't like crowds.
A few years ago ds and I went to church on Easter. Because of the crowds, they held services in the sanctuary and in the social hall We went to the social hall. Tables and chairs. We stood for prayer like they do and while we were standing, the usher took our chairs and gave them to other people who were dragging in.
I told this story then and said they were a mixed-race couple and got accused of being a racist for noticing such a thing. Grrr

Taffy-coloured hair is never gross.

So much for resting. Finished digging the three holes. Then planted a bunch of other crap and watered it. Should actually be doing laundry and making dinner but what the hey.

I remember that story, Peachy. Very sensible of you not to go today. Is that the church with the good snacks?

Dahling, you could never be a bad mom. Did you not refrain from taking him back to the scary church? Knowingly passing up the good snacks? You know if you had suggested that he go on an Easter egg hunt on your own, he would have rolled his eyes at you just like my little darling. I didn't see her turning her nose up at that fine chocolate bunny she got, though. And it is a beauty -- went to the nice candy store when I was in the citee and bought good stuff.

Sounds like a lovely meal. What is asparagust? The kind that's so thin it could blow away in a gust of wind? Our dinner was very good -- roast lamb and my fab cheesecakes with strawberry sauce. Woowee, not bad.

You know, I personally think that when people have guests that don't smoke, they should ask them if it would bother them if they smoked indoors. And if you say yes, they should very graciously move outdoors for their lung pollution. However, this rarely happens. Smokers generally feel pretty much like a put-upon minority that needs to band together and "suffer" with vocal non-smokers and then pretend that they are in no way inconveniencing those non-smokers who are too polite to object. I speak from personal experience (granted, in the hazy distant past) -- I remember being very resentful if someone asked me not to smoke, although I would always put out the cigarette. I suppose if you really didn't want to leave so soon, you could have invited DS for a "little walk" -- maybe they would have gotten the hint by the time you got back.

Just think, Sugar, you are going to have lovely bushes in your yard. I'm going to order a book called Lasagna Gardening. Not because I plan to grow a lasagna. It's some system of layering mulch and compost and so on to develop a garden where you have nothing much for soil. I will probably still be reading it in July when everyone else is picking beans or whatever.

Here is the cute card:

Peaches, you're a good mom. It has nothing to do w/ making Easter thingies, even though making Easter thingies is a nice thing to do. I decided that my children, at 23 and 20 were too old for Easter baskets, but late Saturday evening DH asked me if I had the basket situation under control. I said "I think they're too old for that". DH said "DS said he would be over early to see what the Easter bunny brought him." So apparently they never get too old for the Easter bunny. I went to the store and bought a bunch of candy for baskets, and flowers for DD since she's going to WW and would not appreciate the temptation. Of course DH needed a basket too. He's my biggest kid. When DS came over on Easter he brought me flowers too - sweet, huh?

The big family dinner went well, I made spiral sliced ham, roasted asparagus w/ a yummy parmesan/sourcream/horseradish sauce, asian cole slaw, banana cream pie, & lemon merengue pie. Contributed dishes included potato salad, deviled eggs, jello salad, potato rolls, 3 bean salad, etc, etc. We are ppl who know how to eat.

Sugar P, there is a rhodo grower here who sells huge bushes for $5 on one weekend a year. They clear out there fields once a year. I've gotten some beautiful plants, and even though they're supposed to grow like weeds here, I don't always do well w/ them. They need lots of water and sometimes in August I get tired and don't take care of them. Did you find muscles you forgot even existed after all that work?

Now that DH doesn't smoke, we ask ppl to go outside if they just have to. I love it. My house smells good now. We have covered porches, so at least they don't have to stand out in the rain. Peach, I think your friends, even though they cook good food - which counts for lots of hospitality points in my book - should take their guests lungs into consideration. Especially when you have your son w/ you. Too bad the world doesn't see things our way.

Peaches, if you mentioned that the Queen and King were an interacial couple, ppl would get upset. It's just the way of the world that some ppl are very sensitive to the racial thing. And you never know what constitutes black or white now anyway. My niece is half black, half white. You'd never know that she's 50% white by looking at her, because she definitely looks like her father. At 6 years old she's already had to deal w/ ppl's cruelty about her race several times. The kids who won't play w/ her because she's black, etc. So that's what gets ppl's shorts in all in a bundle when they think someone is making a racial comment. It's better just not to mention the race. As in "these jerky, inconsiderate people came and took our seats" (notice the lack of mention of race). You see, I know that you didn't mean to make a racial comment, because I know you're a sweet, loveable person, but lots of ppl will take it the wrong way. OK. Now you can let me have it.:^:

Hi everybody else - Hope you had a good holiday.

LOL
 

Wabbbbby, I just don't agree. I think that by deliberately avoiding saying a couple is mixed-race, it's an indication that there's something wrong with being mixed race and there isn't. I supposed that if I said BEAUTIFUL mixed-race couple it would be ok. And they didn't take our chair. The usher did. The people didn't know what was goingon. I'm sure your niece has to deal with a lot of jerks but I don't think I'm being one when I describe a person as black, white, mixed or anything else like that. What happened to the 'black is beautiful' movement? In spite of the meanness your niece has to put up with, I would hope she feels proud of who is she. Teach her my three-point way of dealing with BS:
[list=1][*]She doesn't care what the jerk thinks[*]She didn't ask the jerk anything about what he/she think[*]And, by the way, she doesn't care for the jerk's hair, big butt, accent, whatever.[/list=1]
Shrug it off and go be a success.

I told my friend today that I was sorry I had left her house so quickly after eating. She said that was ok and the other guest had stayed too long. Rolled her eyes. Dropped it there.The people with the house accepted the offer. I'mnot sure if I'm glad or not.

You mean to say you have bought a HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! I hope you love it. Please say you love it. Is it adorable?

Kiwi

haven't bought it yet. Title work has to be done. the owner has to ACTUALLY do all the work she said she would do. Love it? It's small and old and I was looking forward to the new house with the great floorplan. But that one's in a place I don't want to live and this one is where I would like to spend my time. The drive to work is where I'll end up spending it. Stupid Old Herbie update: I told him about the offer acceptance and he said there are more things to do in that area ... but with more things to do, I'll spend more money. Up here in Dogpatch, we sit on the porch and whittle while we watch the cars go by. One every two hours or so.

Location, location, location - that's what all the real estate experts tell you. If it's where you want, then that's the house for you. You can always change the house, you can't change where it sits. And does Herbie ever have anything positive to say???? Did his mother never tell him "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all"???? Congratulations, Peachy, hope you and Z are happy homeowners there.

Sugar P's friend's weight loss journal has me so inspired that I've actually been behaving food wise and exercise wise about 1/2 the time. Although reading it makes me feel like such a whiney baby. :bb:

I think it's time for a new thread. Who has a good cow related title? I'm fresh out.
