OK. I'm often a bit slow. But I was tracking this vibe for a while, I think. Tea--got it. Cream-filled...got it. Garlic, onions, pickles....got it. Blech. But big and little "v's"? Are these related to the "t's" mentioned earlier?! Ladies, your discretion and obfuscation and analogies do you much credit and provide us all with much humor. But I'll admit that I'm stumped on this one. Can someone help me out? :001_smile:
I am NOT in this thread, Missy, so don't go quoting my sig line. Oh wait, maybe you're not quoting me. Maybe you're quoting Beth in SW WA!! :lol::lol::lol: Yeah, you're tracking her vibe.

Skunks and wasps. Why, Lord? Why?

Elaine...don't. Let the people in your church know your needs so that they can help. Trust me. Most people are yearning to help, but need to be asked sometimes. :001_smile:
I agree with this. I've spent time with some of those people, and they really do care for you a great deal. Be transparent with them. They love you and want to be there for you.
So do we.

This came through a local homeschool loop, and I am passing it along because I thought that maybe someone here could help. The OP has a friend who is Serbian Orthodox and would like to find some kind of
Orthodox Catechism books, maybe through a homeschool curriculum provider
or otherwise that they could use themselves at home? Her googling only yielded things for adults. Their children are 9, 5 & 3
so they need something at the grade school level (they are most
interested in something for the 9 year old).
If anyone has information I'll send it back to the OP because I don't want to post her email address here. Thanks! :001_smile:

What? No Quarter Pounder or Filet O'Fish?

It's been a while since I read the book, but I'm going to wait until you finish it to comment.
I agree the songs are NOTHING like the book -but they're great too in their own right.
I'll shut up for now - hurry up and read.
Ohhh, okay!!
I have to stop hanging out here and spend more time reading that book.
Well, for tonight I guess I'll go to bed. I'm getting tired now finally. :glare:

yay. pajamas are dry. Goodnite!!
Nighty night!!

I would love to hear what you think of the book when you finish. The musical is very different from the book, though it borrows some of the themes.
It is incredibly different. In fact if I hadn't already fallen in love with the soundtrack I probably wouldn't like the musical very much. It's like taking The Brother Karamazov and making it into a musical. Well not really, because this isn't nearly the quality of TBK. But you get the point. The musical is just too fun to go with this book. There are funny things in the book, but it is not a funny book. There is no way that "Dancin' Through Life" and "One Short Day in the Emerald City", etc. are connected to that book. The only scene that comes even close to something like that is the beginning of the Philosophy Club section, but that isn't fun and upbeat, it is disturbing and weird.
So anyway...that's what I think right now.
I have about 100 more pages to read. I only started to actually like the book about 100 pages ago. Before that I was reading it as an act of the will because I thought it was weird/crazy, over the top, too wordy. But ever since Elphaba arrived at the Vinkus it's gotten much better, much more interesting and purposeful.
More thoughts later.
What are yours? Can you share any without giving up spoilers?
The ending is very different, isn't it?

But notice the gap between the last post and this one? AND you used the word cockles. Cockles is a terrible word. I don't know why. But it is 12:59 am in Tennessee and I am up waiting for my pajamas to dry and my melatonin has kicked in and I simply detest the word cockles.
cockles
purse
moist
All of the good words have been forbidden. I don't even know how to say anything if I can't use those words. I'll be left with like um, 4 words that I can use...whatever. :lol::lol::lol:
Oh, and yes, I did notice the lapse in time. I can't believe I let that much time go by. I just think that I'm boring and have nothing to say. Now I'll have to think of something else. Bah humbug!

Dang. I just checked my email. I have an overdue book. I am not done reading it either. Dang.
That is a dang. Can you renew it online and then only pay maybe 50 cents?
I was annoyed today because I am not done with Wicked yet and dh had borrowed it on his card and he couldn't renew it anymore. So I took it back, planning to just check it out again with my own card. They wouldn't let me. They said that a book has to stay overnight at the library before it can be checked out again, so I'd have to go back.
Fortunately, my very astute 11yo went and found the hardcover copy on the shelf, so I checked that out. Woo hoo!!!

I was married to Les and I was married to Shaun Cassidy. Or was it Shawn Cassidy? Sean Cassidy? No, I am pretty sure is was Shaun Cassidy.
I had a larger than life poster of him. You could see the pores on his nose. That was in the old days, before photoshop.
:lol::lol:I had a professional advertising poster for The Pirates of Penzance. I found it at the train station in the town where I went to college. I think it had been removed and thrown away or something. Anyway, the thing was maybe five feet tall, and I carried it all the way back to my dorm. For two years of college I had that thing in my room because I still enjoyed gazing at Rex.
I think it was Shaun Cassidy. Have you forgotten what was printed on your wedding invitations? :lol::lol:
-
Oh my gosh. Is that Rex Smith?
Oh, I loved him. I loved him a lot. But not as much as Les from the Bay City Rollers. Of course when he left the Bay City Rollers he got weird and I did not love him anymore.
And I'm not lurking. I'm waiting for my pajamas to be done in the dryer.
Yes, it's Rex. I always remember that you loved him almost as much as I did. Hmph...I loved Les too. But not as much as Rex. Actually I was married to him for awhile. Yeah. Umm, right before I married Andy Gibb.

You would probably get more traffic if you updated once in awhile.

You know, I thought you were still lurking around here!
Look at what I found:

Thanks, Anj. I bookmarked the site and will email her tomorrow to send her some soap. (And I did scan her site and her use of the word "moist" was minimal so she's ok in my book! ;))
Actually, I was the one who posted it. It's the blog that I contribute to (just not often.) It gets more traffic than my regular one does. :001_smile:
Oh no!! I wish I'd added a little MOIST just for you!! :D:D

Amy,
How about this?
Try http://www.thefoilhat.comThe date I posted this on was September 2 - go the the Inside the Foil Hat tab and look for that date - I think it's still on my first page.

Was it you who first introduced me to Simply Recipes?
It's my favorite recipe site. Ever.
I don't know. It might've been me. For the past couple of years her site has been my favorite too. :iagree: I love it! ;)

What a great idea for a thread!!!
Let's see....
fresh Maine lobster
grilled rib eye, rare
a salad that contains red leaf lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and dressed with Japanese ginger dressing
dessert? My mom's peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream on top.

I just keep thinking if you got caught wearing it in the rain you would smell like.........wet.........dog. That's not how I want to smell.
Yeah, I kind of think that would be the case because honestly, I touched that yarn and then my face a bit later and I started sneezing and tearing up.:001_huh:

Dang! No peanut butter for to whip up Sister Pam's Patties of Chococrack. ;) So I had to settle for blondies. With hazelnuts. Like chewy Nutella bars. Oh. Yea-uh. :drool:
(Now if they'd just cool a bit...)
Why did you have to go and mention those things? That is just mean!
Now where can I find some chocolate around here? Hmmm....gotta go look for just a wee bit.
Speaking of blondies, did you see these on Elise's blog today?

Collie hairs socks, who'd a thunk! There may be a market for those somewhere!
This is so funny because just last week I was going to ask whether anyone here knits with dog hair.
I used to know a woman who made beautiful sweaters out of her dog's hair. She told me I couldn't be allergic because of the way it was processed, but she was wrong.
It's funny because I have a friend who still says "Have you heard from (blank) the dog hair knitter lately?"

LOL! Anytime something goes wrong around here, and we're not sure who's responsible we mutter, "Newman!"
We do that too!!! :lol::lol:

I often see people in their mid-forties and think they are old, then I realize I'm there too. That grey-haired guy I saw shopping with his boys today could have graduated the same year I did. :001_huh:
Yes!
I found a woman whose child attended the day care center where I worked. At the time I was sure that she was several years older than I am. Well, I just found out that not only did she attend my college, but she was in my graduating class! Ooops!

Yup, I'm officially Not Reading them.
And every time I see another thread pop up it makes it that much easier for me to hang out here less. Of course, as I've shared before, that's not a bad thing for me. It's a good thing. I need reasons to stay away because school has started.
I really do respect the right and desire to discuss these things, but I'm just getting a headache from the whole thing and I wish the election were over already.

I hear ya! I'm already trying to scrub the image of the lady at the Goodwill store out of my brain. Yikes!
Listen here, I'm doing a research paper, yeah a research paper. And I'd like to tell you more about it but ummm, it's for the government and um, uh, it's top secret...yeah top secret and I'm not who you think I am. I am really a 62 year old bald guy with a pot belly and a cigar and this is just a...a...shall we say...educational exercise for the good of all.

Go check your pm box. Don't you feel it vibrating?
