It was Thomas Wolfe. Tom Wolfe did The Right Stuff and Electric Kool-Aid Acid test and never wrote about "home" even in Bonfire of the Vanities.

FLYlady is for "Finally Loving Yourself"... or so I heard.

I like Key Lime Pie... though Pumpkin has the advantage of counting as a VEGETABLE on WW.

Why didn't anybody tell me about Weebls before? DS (21) knew about them... no doubt DD does too.... Nobody told me.

Gotta nap before Leno.

I don't think Thomas Wolfe and Tom Wolfe should be 2 different people. Perhaps the Right Stuff is using the Wrong Name.

You're partially right about FLYLady, but originally she used the name as a handle because her hobby is flyfishing. True story. Wabbit says the Fly has a cleaning lady.

I like man boobs.
 
My husband's are bigger than mine are! He wraps them in the morning with an ace bandage so they don't bounce.

Pending is fine with me. I like to be in line. They usually offer free samples of pie. My favorite is peach.

It was Thomas Wolfe. Who thinks he was overrated? Me. I don't think they bother teaching him too much anymore. His observations were not all that original.

Tom Wolfe, on the other hand, was a fun guy. I haven't read his last two books, so who knows how his life has turned out.
I am doing my dissertation on Beowulf. Come on down to the Meade hall and I'll tell you all about it.

Fly Lady lived a sordid, messy, out-of-control, single parent life until she snagged a judge. Then all her kids left home. Then she got a cleaning lady and became an expert. Like most failures, she was snatched from the jaws of a slovenly life by a stroke of pure luck. Now she's talking credit for it. I would marry a judge and become a self-absorbed know-it-all, but I'm busy this month.

Are you really going to Paris? It is going to be an organized trip? That is one way to raise money for a member to go...most travel agents allow one free ticket for every 10 or20 sold. We could do it that way. I'd be happy to make the contacts.

I see that many of you do WW. I try, but it is boring. We like to eat, and my husband doesn’t care what I look like. AT least not in that way. I want to lose because I can't find comfortable underwear anymore.

I'm really happy to be here. I hope you'll accept me. I don't have many friends. The ones I have are usually through the Beowulf project or through my husband's work. They're kind of snobby. He runs the rooming house section of the YMCA, so most of the people he works with are from the gym section. I think they look down on us. I'm finishing up at NYU, I guess it will be another year before I'm fully finished. I have to go to Denmark in October to do some research. He's at Columbia supposedly doing his dissertation on the psychological profile of the generation that grew up during WWII. They're all dying, so it is hard. Plus, he's made a lot of friends among the boarders and they like the pipe a little too much.

are you talking about the 'weebles wobble but they don't fall down toy'? The fat little things that sort of look like us? What's so great about those? You can't even choke on them.

I'll be back after lunch. I would appreciate interesting posts. I'll be hurt if you post for sissy on Thursdays and not for me, today. AND remember, the only reason she's nice...though she wasn't too nice to that last new girl......is because of ME.
P. S. The best pie is Banana Cream Pie.

Cowpernia 09-09-2003 09:20 AM

I will post interesting things for you O Grand Bossy Cow.

I am afraid to drive nails into my beautiful new walls. Isn't that interesting? Pictures are sitting on the floor leaning on the wall. They look ok that way.

Also, the ants come and the ants go. Interesting?

Also, I don't want to go to work. What do you think? Interesting or predictable?

gnabthn 09-09-2003 09:33 AM

Wow!
 
Hi Cowpernia,
I'm so excited that you're interested in me! You seem like a really interesting person. You should put pictures on your wall. They are prettier that way. Here are the answers to your questions. I'm happy you are welcoming me this way.
1. I weigh between 168 and 178. I have a lot to lose.
2. I usually wear loose skirts, most are a size 14.
3. O flower of warriors, beware of that trap.
Choose, dear Beowulf, the better part,
eternal rewards. Do not give way to pride.
For a brief while your strength is in bloom
but it fades quickly; and soon there will follow
illness or the sword to lay you low,
or a sudden fire or surge of water
or jabbing blade or javelin from the air
or repellent age. Your piercing eye
will dim and darken; and death will arrive,
dear warrior, to sweep you away.

4. Stop the Insanity...eat high yield foods and avoid fat
5. My rug is oriental. We live in one room, so a beautiful rug is important.
Thank you for welcoming me so warmly.

Cowpernia 09-09-2003 09:41 AM

What is Beo talking about and to whom? Who does he consider a flower? Is he gay? What trap? and then the person responds telling him to choose the better part? Isnt' that selfish? Where will death sweep him to and isn't that anticlimatical? Sweeping into the trash bin??

choosewell 09-09-2003 10:00 AM

I think he's bummed about his weight. And a notable lack of Banana Creme Pies.

I only gained one pound my first week back at WW! At this rate I'll reach my goal of 50 pounds in under a year. Only in the wrong direction.

PainterWoman, are you still having trouble reading PM's? No, not PMS, I'm sure you can read that just fine...

dear gotta be thin------you can't be for real,you must be some fantasy created by one of the lunatics that regularly post----your life is too wonderful to be true-----i am going to do some research on your husbands job and i will be back later to clear this up-------------plus,you are not fat enough to post here---we used to weigh what you do and we are all past that now and size fourteen is only a dream------you are making poor sausage-hocks feel bad-----you must gain weight in order to be accepted and you may report back at that time.

choosewell 09-09-2003 10:01 AM

And I think the term "oriental" is out and "asian" is in...

P.C. CW

Bagzz 09-09-2003 11:48 AM

i have a new asian-african american-canadian-polish-ukranian-pakistani-indian-ubeckistanian,afghani-mongolian-new jerseyite ,flarridian carpet today

SugP 09-09-2003 01:45 PM

New Jerseyites and Flarridians are ethnic groups? Wow.

Feeling a bit peaked so I am going to bed early for a change and I'll let yous all post away so I have something to read in the morning. Oh yes, my hair is now the colour of burnished chestnuts and there is nary a hair on my upper lip. You'd think I'd be thrilled, but I'm just tired.

Wabby 09-09-2003 02:42 PM

Sugar, all that beauty work is exhausting, isn't it? My hair has new golden highlights in it, and a shorter new 'do. I haven't decided if I love it or hate it yet. Why doesn't my hair look anything like it does when I leave the hairdresser?

Damn. Gotta go back to work. Guys are back. Must set a good example. ha.

They look like weebles. And they wobble but they don't fall down. But it's a bunch of hilarious cartoons. Must see.

I think that will make your house very interesting. Of course you could go out and get those very cool picture hanging plastic hooks with the un-doable adhesive. I have some of them and I'm thinking of buying more. No holes, no hideous rip when you take them down. Perfection. Possibly not as interesting as that artist-y "I have so many paintings and no time to hang them" look.

Oh, everyone is getting beauteous!! It reminds of the wonderful Shemekia Copeland song "Sholanda's House de Beaute". Your hair sounds lovely, Sugar, and so does yours, Wabby. I need a haircut desperately. I just hate actually making the appt. I'm afraid of haircut disaster.

goobernathon, or whatever your name is, I have figured out who you are. You are one of our 5 alternate lives. I just haven't figured out whose. I mean, who would conjure up man boobs in their fantasy life?

Anyway, here is my favorite quote about death:

Funny, how you always imagine dying in bed, surrounded by your loved ones. Instead, too often, the brief bewildering encounter, the sudden realization, the slow-motion panic ride with the sun coming up behind you like a swinging pendulum, however much you try to outrun it.

Scary but compelling, don't you think?

It's a beautiful day here, I must go do something beautiful :rolleyes:
