Ew, please don't make me be one of those red hat/purple dress people. Does that happen when you turn 50? I don't wanna.

Stop eating that candy corn, Peachie. I'm eating Valentine M&Ms. Hey, I've been cleaning. I found them. So it's sort of a special celebration. "Found a Giant Unopened Bag of M&Ms Day" Yeah, they had never been opened. Unbelievable.

I've been watching tennis. Don't tell me who wins.

Kiwi

Hand over the Candy Corn and The MMs! Yum... I don't think I've ever forgotten or lost any junk food.. a $20 Bill perhaps, but never chocolate or candy!

I'm with Kiwi, no purple hat people for me! Btw, my Gfen had one of those mobile fences.. something she could put up and take down relatively quickly.. She has 3 Salukis.. and around the corner here there are two very large menacing dogs that are off leash, but the owner has one of those electronic fences and it definitely works. When I walk my dogs passed them these dogs growl, leap, and lick their chops but seem to "bounce" back or off something ...

Like this? I've been thinking of that. I can buy one used from "Uncle Henry's", a weekly book of classified ads for Maine. It's not the ideal solution, but it would be pretty cheap and safe for the dog. I don't want to use "invisible fencing" for a lot reasons: our "yard" is like 3 acres and surrounded by woods, invisible fence is a lot of work to install and to train, and a really motivated dog will breach it and then not be willing to come back because they'll be shocked again. Works well where you have neighbors on 3 sides and a street on the 4th, but that's not me. The ideal thing would be to have a fence installed at the back of our house, incorporating one of the doors to the house. It's quite feasible, but I sure can't install it by myself and I dare say DH will not be willing to do it, so I'd have to hire it done, and I'm not sure I can spend the $$.

Oo! I know! All of you can come visit me and we'll put up the fence together. :rofl:

Later gators.

Kiwi

That's exactly what she has... and she ended up doing exactly what you think would be best.. fencing with a doggie door that leads into her sunporch... There is a 2nd door that leads into her house..
Shoot I'd be willing to "run up" to Hooterville - as long as you got the margaritas in the blender! Speaking of which.. I do believe I will surprise DH at his new "pub" for a pint or two..or... I only have the kitchen left to tear apart..what the ****, might as well plus I am too excited, I finally fit with extra room into what I once (in days of yore) called my "fat" pants.

I heard about this person who put a cat door in for his mom. One day, he came to see her and found her asleep in bed with the cat on one side and a possum on the other.

I'm facing the fact the fact that DS has become passive-aggressive, at least toward me. Everythis is last minute. He wrote his essay, due tomorrow for the NM, last night. I went to church this morning leaving him in the shower. The essay was good but a tad too negative for my taste. However, I did not say so. Teenage parenting is sooooo hard.

DS just came in. I had given him a WalMart gas card to fill his almost empty tank. He says he only got 1.5 gallons because it kept stopping. I suggested he gone elsewhere or gone back but this won't last him a day. He stomped out to go somewhere else. This "weighs on your spirit" as a friend of mine would say.

Another friend emailed her Democrat sister to tell her she has scraped the "Bush county" bumper stick off her car. The sister replied, "I hear a scraping sound all across America."

:eek: That's why I've never put in a pet door. We've had enough skunk problems!!
Well, you know what they say: the kids are just trying to help you out with that impending empty nest syndrome.
I'd feel a lot better about that if they'd done it a year ago. People have been trying to warn Americans about George Bush since long before the 2000 election. "I told you so" just doesn't hold the satisfaction it would if Bush and his cronies hadn't done so much damage to the country and the world. I think he should be impeached and then tried as a war criminal.

Kiwi

peachie.. I read your first line Sooo wrong: as if the son put in the cat door for HIS Mother to get through! HeeeHeeee!
Sigh Peachness, all I can say is remember when we were hormone deranged teenagers...Kiwi
Hmmpf, whenever I saw a Bush Country or Bush Cheney bumpersticker back in 2000 and beyond I had to exhibit such restraint to not ram my trailblazer into their backend. I sent this link out upon that incompetent boobs re-election: and said .. I WASN'T one of them then or Now! What a Marroooon.

http://politicalhumor.about.com/libr...dumbpeople.htm


You may already "enjoy" this site... but here is a link to a fav that causes me as much pain as joy..

http://politicalhumor.about.com/

I got all Duded up, make up and all, and surprised Ken down at his new watering hole.... GADZOOKS the place was packed as I guess a sports bar would be.. all testosteronish.. with the yelling and fumble this and bad call that.. I was L O S T... had 2 beers and said Buh Bye ...Sigh, the only sports I'm remotely interested in is Hockey and only if they have that Idiot blue spot on the puck so I can follow the bloody thing! Went food shopping instead... still trying to get use to this crap where they ACTUALLY unload your basket , and BAG and then ask if you WANT HELP OUT TO YOUR CAR!!!. NOT that I mind it at all...but man, they look at me like I'm stealing milk from their babies when I bag myself. (remember where I'm from gals... they Look at you like WHAT IS YOUR Problem, CANT YOU BAG YOUR OWN CRAP!)( and p.s. what r u some sort of perv or gangsta wanting to jack my car? -- **** no I don't need you knowin what car I'm drivin'!!)

P.S. I didnot buy Candy corn or Valentines MMs... (bought dark chocolate/almond nuggets...and kisses..)

Ha, welcome to the rest of the United States, the trusting part! If I tried to bag my own groceries, they'd probably call all the other employees over to watch the weird lady. :lol: One time at a local store where I used to go a lot, I forgot to sign my check, and the guy who ran the place signed it for me. And the bank cashed it!

I still get a little pi**y when I see a Bush sticker. You'd like this picture I posted last November -- " one I call "Bush reaching across the aisle". I was so infuriated yesterday that I took a swipe at the photo of Bush on the front page of the paper and somehow managed to rip this exact piece of paper out. Doesn't it look like he's (somewhat incompetently) flipping the bird? " (from my post)

I have a collection of assinine pictures of Bush. I can't seem to bring myself to dump them. They include photos of him picking his nose while sitting next to Laura in a stadium, signing an American flag :rolleyes:, tripping over a Segway, looking through binoculars with the lens caps on, getting goosed in the crotch by a turkey, the list goes on and on.

Ah well, may the widespread Bushbashing begin. Better late than never.

Ou est la femme de peintre? Elle a disparu?

Kiwi

Sugar/Bagz,

What did Kiwi say?

The candy is gone. If I don't start on the Halloween oreos, that will be good.

Seriously, where is Painty. Did she move to Jersey?

Joey da Nose in Joisey says he ain't seen no painty.. bud den agen he ain't sayin nuttin bout nuttin its bettah dat way iffn ya gettin my drift..hand ovah tem oreos too.. - and doon even thingabouteattin out da middle :s: _

Hi! Just checking in. Exhausted and angered by the NO mess. Should be sleeping, since I have to be to work in about 2 hours. Still fat. Still overworked, still in grad school.

Just wanted to announce I'm starting the Special K challenge today. I'm a sucker for a good ad campaign. They promise 5-6 pounds in two weeks. I'll let you know.

DEAR CHERRY---you will win this fight from sheer determination-----most cows in this herd have long since moved on to sugar and fat laced pastures-----------it's lovely here,come join us and have a candy corn---oh sarrrrrrrrry they're all gone,have an oreo????----------i bought two hallowe'en bags of mini chocolate bars----they are half gone---i like to eat two or three JUST BEFORE BED---HOW BRILLIANT IS THAT!!!----there is a big cruise ship heading into the harbour=---i better get over there!!

ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly
shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon
rounds. The various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and
wheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her. One day I found her staring
at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the
inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered,
"The tooth fairy will never believe this!"

I'm trying out "tiny URL" just because it sounds cool. Here is a super long link that I converted to a tiny url: http://tinyurl.com/cf9dl Don't bother following it, it's just that kennel again. I just wanted to see if it worked.

I hope you have a ton of nice passengers to actually pay money for your nice wares today, Bagz.

Hi Cherry!

kiwi

Bagz!! that story about DD was priceless! How cute! ---- Sorry the shoplifters are hitting you. I think most of that type of crime is drug motivated. They'll steal anything just to feed their habit. We've actually had problems here w/ druggies stealing our storefront aluminum out of buildings before we can get the glass installed! They take it and sell it for scrap metal.

Cherry, can't wait to see if "the challenge" works. I've actually dropped a couple pounds since DS moved out with all my excuses for buying junk food. DH is borderline diabetic, so I feel guilty if I bring any sweets into the house. Now if I'd get off my fat arse and do some exercise, maybe I'd looose a little more.

Schatzi, I had that same picture of my head of someone's mother getting stuck in the cat door. Hee. Great minds... You're so brave to go hang out at a sports bar. As brave as my DH hanging out w/ the bunco babes this weekend. What man will sit around w/ a dozen middle aged bats and be sociable? I made a delish dessert called Butter Toffee Gooey Cake. Lucky for this sugarholic every last morsel was eaten by the end of the night.

Painty, we're getting worried about you... time to check in, dear.

Je suis ici. Grosse mais ici.
Baggz... so sorry about thefts. Are you allowed to booby trap your doors?

Please know that SouthFork is a stone's throw from my house (Well, if you are Drew Bledsoe!!) and that it is WAY toooooo touristy/plebian for any of the Bushbabies. I like Laura but do not understand what she sees in the Shrub.

My nurse friend told me not to go to the sports arena in Dallas to help evacuees because there were too many mystery viruses for me to deal with in my "suppressed immune" state. Besides, my bald head might scare them. I could wear the head covering below and get some sort of psycho meds.

DH and I have been indulging in comfort foods. Actually I made a decently healthy dinner tonight. Pork tenderloin with BBQ sauce, salad, carrots and biscuits. But the comfort foods... well, just think Chocolat.... :devil:

I'm off to my knitting and drawing. If you want to see photos of the knitting and dyeing cruise DD went on off the Maine Coast, let me know.

Hope everyone is svelt and employed soon.

hiya. Everyone who posts or lurks here and who likes games AT ALL for themselves or kids, go check out Castle Infinity ... It's back and getting bigger and better. It's a download and they ask for donations. I just love this game. You kill monsters with air freshener, get sent to your room (instead of dying) if you aren't careful, ride subs, collect limburger, and so on. No bad language is allowed or unsafe-for-kids behavior is allowed.

I have a headacheorama. Every morning. It's dehydration. Does anyone else wake up dry?

Kissie hug hug. Nice to Painty back even if it is just the back of her head!! Quite right for you not to go to the dome, Paintgirl.

Painty, so glad to see you! What is that Sea Anemone doing on your head?
Bagz: Cute cute cute! Should send that to the Lighter side in Readers Digest!
Wabby: That cake sounds delish!!!!! I made some "Carb Monitor " Chcolate brownies.. I dunno, left a metally aftertaste, but that didnt stop me from eating EVERY one.
Cherry: I've seen that challenge.. let us know how it goes!

And I can PROCLAIM it! YES! The Move is completely over! (and the crowd goes wild!) The house is all squared away and sparkly shiny! :flow2: The yard is groomed and clipped ! The garage is tidied up! One last to do is to clean my trailblazer in and out. Today looks like overcast and humid... I guess the very outter bands or prelude to Ophelia. Perhaps a Schlub day is on the docket..hmm maybe read or pull out my needlepoint!

Way to go Schatzi! Do you hire out? I am still mired in the middle of my kitchen swamping job. :rolleyes:

Is that Ophelia going to wash away my summer beach rental? :eek:

Peachie, if CI still an online game or download only? I have to say that was a lot of fun. And not quite as embarrassing as hanging around an arcade at our age...

Kiwi

It's online but you got to download something before you can play it online. They added rooms and body parts and more are expected next month. There is nothing like this game. Right now, there's hardly anyone there which is why I've advertising it like this. I suppose that if you have it on your puter from last time, you don't need to download. Dont' know.

Some of you will know what I'm talking about and some won't: I like to get emails all day telling me to spend five minutes cleaning something and two minutes cleaning something else. I don't like emails telling me to put on my shoes or go to bed. I wonder if this person is that ***** I worked for. EVERYTHING must be her idea.

Oh how sad for me.. I tried to download and it keeps giving me errors.. DRAT..it looks fun...
peachie .. I have no idea what you mean..but I certainly dont like do get emails telling me to put shoes on and go to bed..how rude and hmmm why would I put my shoes on to go to bed in the first place Shhesh! :D

Howdy y'all

That game sounds like fun, Peachy! I will check it out.

I've been reading all your posts but am too too too tired to reply. I even got a proper amount of sleep last night so I don't know what's up with the tired. Could be that pesky Leslie wearing me out. Today I did my little library group and there were photos of the different library activities on the wall, including one of ME, looking like the ultimate Miss Heavyweight Heifer :moo:aka Three Chinned Wonder.:sumo: Gahhhhhhhhhhhh! So pudgy and awful. I can't stand it any more.

Must go clean my kitchen (as per the daily e mails and NO, I DO NOT wear my shoes in the house, no matter what SHE says) and get to bed. :faint: :faint: :faint:

OK, sugar, How Do You Deal With All Those Emails? I cannnnnot keep up with them. Three a day would be good but how many does she send? I mean, you log on and suddenly find you're supposed to be cleaning your purse, refrigerator, room-of-the-week, hot spot and ... becuase this is not a dictatorship ... you get to spend five mnutes in the room of your choice.

I have gained several pounds. Is it because I live on peanuts and candy? Or is because I'm stressed. In other words, is it MY fault?

Oh, dear, I'd never answer that question. :shrug:

DH is gone this week to The Rodeo Without Me. I don't like this, but I didn't want to go for the entire week and I don't know anyone going there (5 hour drive) for the weekend only that I could hitch a ride with. Also - and I hate to admit this - I didn't want to buy new rodeo duds and I can't fit into my old ones. sob. I knew the moment would come when I would have to confront the fact that I can't fit into most of my clothes. heavy sigh.

Painty, I love your pink medusa wig. Good advice from your friend. You must take care of yourself.

Schatzi, you are a wonder woman. I'm still getting organized and I've lived here 15 years.

You cowsies could always subscribe to the "digest" version of the flybat. Then you just get one huge email that you can read or ignore at your convenience.

My sweet children came over for dinner yesterday. They're so much sweeter when they don't live with me. We ate dinner, and conversed like real ppl. Then they took the dogs out for a run. Quite the comedy watching DD's weiner dog keep up w/ the golden retriever. No tv watching. How nice. They've decided we need a family dinner every monday, taking turns between our homes. Next week is italian at DD's.

Miss Sugar, you are way too hard on yourself. I bet your kids would look at that picture and just be proud their mama's helping at their school. I bet you look beautiful to them and DH.

Peach, I'd hate to download another game to my computer and add fuel to the rumor that I just goof around all day at work. ;)

I have quite the busy social calendar while DH is gone. Monday was dinner w/ kids, tuesday I have off, wednesday dinner at my friend's house, thursday a birthday party, friday a movie w/ my sister, saturday shopping w/ a friend. I think everyone thinks I need to be looked after while DH's away. They're probably right. :dizzy:

listen you dingos!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS A JOKE I GOT OFF THE INTERNET-!!!! IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO MOI!!! IT WAS SOME "RANDOM" KID !!!! anyway i thought it was a cute thing------------------by the way,the kids said "Random" ALOT this summer too as well as "SKETCHY" AND "what's the sich?"==============sorry to upset you with my fake story!!! xoxoxoxo

You are so silly. You shouldn't be embarrassed that you wear dentures. We KNOW who that story was about .. I mean aboot.

Um...I usually just ignore them! :lol: Really. I have about 2,500 unread ones sitting in my in box. And anway, it's morning here when she tells me to go to bed and I get those "Wednesday is Anti-Procrastionation Day" mails on Thursday. :D That's my excuse.

Your fault?? Never!!! Blame it on global warming or something.

Oh Wabs, you darling, you are too, too kind! I guess you're right. But I'm just so shocked that I've piled on all this weight in the past few years.

Bagzie, you always know just the right thing to say to make my spit my tea all over the keyboard!

I am so shocked that people would steal from your store. But I guess the addicts aren't exactly lying awake at night regretting what they've done since they probably can't even remember what they did 5 minutes ago. Yeah, you need a big poster of you makin' a mean scary face telling them that shoplifters will be prosecuted. Can you tag your stuff electronically or put up a fake security camera or something?

Way to go on completing the move, Schatzi!! You are a woman on the go. We still haven't unpacked a lot of the crap we brought with us when we move into this house 10 years ago. :o

Painty - I love your sea anemone (sp?) cap!! Good to see that you're keeping your spirits up. Are you managing to keep the nausea at bay?

no pictures please, I'm FAT.
 

You SURE there's nothing to eat there? You've got me all worried now. :lol:

And I didn't mean that your gorgeous face would scare them away! No no no! It would be your gorgeous face with a stern "I'm watching your every move and I mean business" expression. :D

I think Barbara Bush as the Quaker Oats Man in drag will be much scarier, then Bagz sans her china clippers!

I want you all to know that I am abandoning you for Fly. She cares much more for me than you WHO DO NOT POST MUCH do. Just now, she asked me to send a little handwritten card to someone. It just so happens that I recently send a handwritten FAN MAIL NOTE to the greatest of all California musicians. Does anyone know who I consider the GOACM? He is so wonderful.

:doh: :lol:

I can't believe you guys are still listening to the FlySpeck. I put a stop to her barrage long ago. It was not inspiring any more; it was just making me feel guilty for not actually doing anything she said to. My housekeeping is no better and no worse, but at least I can read other things on the puter...

I am so mad at this stupid Ophelia girl. She is sitting on top of my beach trying to blow down the whole place and wash it away. I don't care what Mr. President Headinthesand says, something is wrong with the climate for there to be so many huge hurricanes. Maybe if global warming affected his precious ranch, he'd give a cr*p.

How much do you love Evolution Schmevolution on The Daily Show this week? Or am I the only heathen watching it? I know Lushie does.

I'm depressed. I still have not heard a word about my puppy and I'm starting to wonder if I am going to have a problem with the breeder. I can't believe I would, she has been so very positive and encouraging. But I emailed her last week and again yesterday and haven't heard anything. :crossed: Maybe now that I've worried out loud, she'll call or email tonight and everything will be fine, eh?

I'm starving. Must eat something. DD had a 1/2 day school today and she and her friends went to a new place for lunch "Mongolian Dep Fry". Brand new sign, great big typo. :lol:

Kiwi

I assume the Greatest of all California Musicians is (drum roll please) Jackson Browne!

Do I get a prize?

some people DO NOT check email.

Call her!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now!!!!!!!!!!! Pick up the phone and dial !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Say, "I was just wondering how things are going with the puppies."

Many signs in Dogpatch are like that. "Jone's Grocery" "Artic Air" .... I could think of more if I took vitamins.

CALL THAT DOG WOMAN

No prize cause you wrong.

Tony Bennett??? heeee.

Kiwi, I've heard of ppl going thru less to adopt a child than what you're going thru for this puppy. My doggies are having empty nest syndrome problems. When the kids come over to visit, the doggies go wild with glee to see them.

Spelling mistakes on signs drive me crazy. The latest I saw was Fantasey Ranch. I can sea mistaks in emails or posts, but if you take the time to paynt a sine I'd think you'd mak shur it was spelled rite.

I don't subscribe to the Flybat anymore. If I need inspiration I go to her website.... or I plan a party or something at my house. I'm having a baby shower for my 3-D friend's daughter next month. A baby shower brunch. Anyone want to come over and help me clean on Saturday in exchange for quiche on Sunday? I'm planning Quiche, fruit tray, muffins and I don't know what else. mmmm - Belinnis (sp?) to drink, the mom to be can have oj instead.

I'm worried about no food in the afterlife. Especially since I consider a maple bar pure heaven. What does that tell you about where I'm going??? :eek:

Bagzie, you had me there. My cute story about my DD is this .... She was about 5 years old. She told me some boy at school told her there was no Santa and she wanted to know if DD and I were really Santa. When I told her "yes, we play Santa, blah, blah, spirit of Christmas, blah, blah... She was very quiet for awhile, then she looked at me and said in this serious voice "whaddabout da Eastah Bunny?" :lol:

Kiwi-puppy is special ... she's a dream puppy ... it's just that she's attached to human and humans are inconsiderate and when everything is right in their world, they don't think about others. She needs to call them and find out.

Dan Hicks. The best.

Well, did I win? huh? huh?

You win the right to go get your puppy. Dingo.
