Cindy I'm with you girl!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I've got a whole collection of Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire movies, as well as Cary Grant movies ..... Aussie when he wants to show he's 'snaggy' will sit arms crossed - like he was being questioned by the Taliban - and sit with me through the moooooooovie of the moment. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

He'd look at me & DD as we have tears rollling down our faces watching the corn and mutter 'UnF..ing believable" thinking we could not hear him ???? lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Some men have no romance in them at all!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Now, as we need to raise the information level and its a new year, here is some natural science knowledge for you

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

(Hardly seems worth it.)

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

(Now that's more like it! The boys will LOVE this one!!!)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out of the body to squirt blood 9 to 10 meters - 30 feet or so.

(O.M.G.!)

A pig's orgasm lasts 30 minutes.
(In my next life, I want to be a pig.)

A cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death! (Creepy)

(I'm still not over the pig.)

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories a hour

(Don't try this at home, maybe at work - workers compo available)

The male praying mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male's head off.

("Honey, I'm home. What the...?!")

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.

(30 minutes..lucky pig! Can you imagine?)

The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.

(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a murky river?)


Some lions mate over 50 times a day.
(I still want to be a pig in my next life...quality over quantity)

Butterflies taste with their feet.

(Something I always wanted to know.)

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

Hmmmmmm...)

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.

(If you're ambidextrous, do you split the difference?)

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump.

(okay,.... so that would be a good thing)

A cat's urine glows under a black light.

(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

(I know some people like that.)

Starfish have no brains.

(I know some people like that too.)

Polar bears are left-handed.

(If they switch & use the right hand, they'll live a lot longer)

Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

(What about that pig??)

why are we on page 3???????????????????? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

somebody's not doing their job <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Hi!

CSue, waving "Hi"....have much more reading to do here!!

Glad you all still have your senses of humor!!

I once lived in Wyoming btw.....it was an interesting experience!!!

The Pool of Introspection is temporarily closed for repairs. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I told Pep once--a long time ago, when she was ruminating about feeling guilty if she took personal amusement in my allegedly grotesque, self-deprecating humor--that I never make jokes about something about which I'm genuinely upset. Instead, my natural reaction is to withdraw. So right now I'm half in withdrawal, half just swamped with too much to do, especially for the next week, and half overwhelmed with the general complexities and burdens of life. I realize that makes 3 halves, but right now I feel like I've got more than a whole load of trouble, and could probably come up with 4 or 5 halves if I put my mind to it for a few minutes. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

However, I'm only taking a quick break from my medical malpractice home study nurse continuing ed course, and need to get back to it and keep on plowing. Come tomorrow, somehow (in a fit of insanity), I've agreed to work a day shift--suckered by the thought of time-and-a-half, into ignoring both the horrendous concept of getting up before sunrise, AND the thought of working not with my "regulars." Next week I have to get my ACLS recertification, which means studying a bunch of cardiac stuff I don't know and don't want to know either, a day's class with testing, and then being to my other job 2 hrs. later to put in a night shift. I guess I wouldn't object so much if I felt we were getting ahead. But we're not. Instead, we're gradually slipping farther and farther behind, and the easiest solution (selling and moving to a cheaper locale) is out of my reach due to the uncooperative attitude of dear HP. Well, at least he's enjoying himself. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> That makes one of us.

I feel like a salmon, trying to swim upriver to spawn (no easy feat for a salmon who's had a hysterectomy!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />), who struggles against the current for about a bajillion miles, only to find that the last falls I need to jump is Niagara. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Back to the salt mines. There's nothing that says people can't play here without me, you know! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> You may play in the sandbox any time you like. It's only the Pool of Instrospection that's dangerous, given both the sharks and the unpredictable stress incontinence of its owner! I'd stay out of THAT!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Hey T&L -

I took that at work, and passed it. But since I know NOTHING about medical stuff, I had to study for months. Good Luck. I only took it because it was free and thought it would be something good to know how to do.

My bil teaches agriculture. He says the term 'screw' for sex came about because of the action of the 'active portion' of the male pig while engaged in copulation.

TMI!

30 minutes. Wow.

I looked up the side effects for Cipro, & 2 of the common ones are headache and mild nausea. Case closed. I've been a really slow starter in the mornings, but once I get going it's not too bad.

hey t&l! I wish I could help you! Unfortunately all I can do from here is offer some prayer!

well dear tl

big hugs sweet lady [[[[[[tl]]]]]]

I won't push BUT I will say NO ONE should work and work and work until they are worn to nothing when there is at least a reasonable alternative to discuss.

it may be time to have a REAL talk or family campaign on alternatives.

But I'm no one to talk on that so I'll send you hugs & prayers so that you may concentrate on the course and pass with flying colours!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We have Holiday Inn recorded, and AJ & I have twice fallen asleep laughing, but never made it to the end. It's been a long time since we've seen it.

I still like White Christmas though. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

We have 2 years to finish the move2cheaperplace campaign, unless I'm mistaken. I think he can retire at 62, and I know he just turned 60. There must be lots of reasons we can all give him. "Just think, Dad, if you go to MT, you can use your snow rated tent EVERY DAY!" (Except the one day of summer.)

Just take it easy neak...slow starts are ok.

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Slow starts are the only thing that stands a chance against The Clam.

I am SO not a morning person! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

As far as the 2 years go, I'm not sure I've got 2 years more of this in me. I'd take the $11,000 loss for selling the house early--in a heartbeat, too--if I could just get out from under this load. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go. Blech. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

t&l

I dont know if I've got 12 months left in me let alone 2 years of anything

....nappies, bottles, formula, tins of food, toys, clothes, wetones, pram, change bag, blanket, homemade anti depressant [chocolate macadamias], teething chew rings - for me, more nappies ....
now have I forgotten anything ????? theres something I just know .... car keys, purse, credit cards ...


oh bugger ...



Mikey, mummy is coming sweety .......... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> It got me again. My attention span does not reach any further back than 1-2 posts. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

My two favorite movies are It's A Wonderful Life and Holiday Inn. This year I was not able to It's A Wonderful Life since my VRC is broken. I did get to see Holiday Inn though! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

t&l, I wish I could help ease your burden. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/teary.gif" alt="" />

Adub, I try hard to not think ahead because after 7.5 years of diapers etc.. on the same child with no end in sight it is too hard to fathom. sigh

Speaking of Inns, I love Inn of the 6th Happiness. It's on soon, maybe even today.

Dear, brave FF. 6 years of diapers was hard enough with different children. I don't dare hope their poop looks any cuter as they grow up.

Mom....wait a while. He will go. *ding*

(In case you have forgotten such an important part of our childhood, that is from Bronto the Dinosaur.)

Time to put the kiddies to bed early. Boy, am I tired!

How's the resta y'all?
