Big hugs from us both for our two hurting sisters hug hug and one yeah! for all going ok with Neak hurray

Of course they would never dream of finding their smusement at my expense. They are just not like that!

We all rotflmao about the sex ed class, especially the goanna.

Here, in case anyone didn't grow up...TD that poor 17yo was afraid of cathing.

Poor poor Rella. You need to have one of these handy little ablations done. I can tell already it's just the bestest thing!

here's a good one - right after I walked in the Door, the Dervish yelled, "Mom, can I see your surgery?"

:MrEEk:

NO!

If you hovered your mouse over the above link, it shows the whole thing. Neaksis thought b...aid might be a new swear word she had never heard of.

If you didn't hover, it said, "Here, in case anyone didn't grow up as big of a Down Under fan as I did, here is the STD that poor 17yo was afraid of cathing."

Upon further reflection, I would be afraid to cath a goanna, too.

HIYA Neak!! Neaksis and Mrs S!! laugh I'm only as perky as this at 4.15am cause I have been on coffee and caff tabs for 12 hours in the ED. sorts of feeling sabit strnage now though. Had a busy busy busy day and night . I got begged to come in so I did. I think I have feet but they are too numb to feel and I'm scared that when I do they will feel red raw. God knows how I drove home.

Had a few squirter's tonight had to change twice. Car accidents galore, heaps of drunks, one threw a punch at me but that's not anything new with the crowd we get. no one died on me so I guess we can count that as a good night. I also got a few panic merchants who were sure dat they had the swine flu. No sound of fluid in the lungs so I think they have colds rather than any type of flu. But got them to arrange to see their own docs on Monday unless they got worse.

but the page is startign to get blurred. Neak don't be going doing too much now no messing up the stitches or that.

I tink I'll jst go to sleep in tis nice comfy char. ni ni
luv and stuff haeps loike

Neak,

Are you sure Scooter (DS9) and the Dervish aren't the same kid?

2. What makes me happy?
The Dervish: Me.

That sure sounds like MY kid!


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

About the only way to tell the difference:

Dervish, where do you live?
In the land of fruits and nuts. But I'm going to Montana.

Scooter, where do you live?
In the great and noble republic of Texas. Duck and cover!

They certainly make life fun, tho....

And never boring.

Life with a Scootie-toot and a Dervish is never, ever dull.

Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate. So I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road, carefully got out of the car and opened the trunk.

I took out 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic. They look so lifelike you wouldn't believe they were cardboard! They are in trench coats, exposing their nude bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers.

I started to change my tire, and to my surprise, cars started slowing down looking at my lifelike men. And of course, traffic started backing up. Everybody was tooting their horns and waving like crazy. It wasn't long before a state trooper pulled up behind me.

He got out of his car and started walking towards me. I could tell he was not a happy camper!

"What's going on here?"

"My car has a flat tire," I said calmly.

"Well, what the hell are those obscene cardboard men doing here by the road?

I couldn't believe that he didn't know. So I told him, "Hello-o-o-o-o-o, those are my emergency flashers!"

I am a big old copycat. After seeing the lovely interview with Dr. Liz and AW, Neaksis and I filled one out special for Mom. (We don't want her getting jealous, you know. And now I'm her favorite because it was my idea.)

Quote
Ask your child the following questions and write their EXACT answers. No cheating! Seriously...do this one and send it back to me.
Neak is 96, Neaksis was born 6 years after Neak. (How old do they think this makes me?)

1. What is something I always say to you?
Neak: Montana, bah!
Neaksis: You’re my favorite! (They both whine incessantly, “I’m Mom’s favorite.”)

2. What makes me happy?
Neak: Me.
Neaksis: Me. (Is there an echo in here? In here? In heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere?)


3. What makes me sad?
Neak: Neaksis.
Neaksis: Neaki.


4. How do I make you laugh?
Neak: Sending me political cartoons.
Neaksis: Acting like you’re mad at me, but you’re really not. (She STILL thinks it’s acting?)

5. What do you think I was like as a child?
Neak: Precocious. Loquacious. Precarious. (I think you meant “precious”. Didn’t you? I’m sure you did. )
Neaksis: Wonderful. (Too bad you girls weren’t around to tell that to your grandpa. Might’ve saved me a BUNCH of spankings!)


6. How old am I?
Neak: About 24 years older than 96.
Neaksis: 62


7. How tall am I?
Neak: Not sure – I haven’t measured up to my shoulder lately.
Neaksis: Shorter than me. (“Tall” is measured in power, not inches, in case you hadn’t noticed.)

8. What is my favorite thing to do?
Neak: School with Mr. C.
Neaksis: Spend time with me. (Au contraire to the both of you…)

9. What do I do when you're not around?
Neak: It usually seems to involve Baskin Robbins. (And you wonder why I don’t bring you treats!)
Neaksis: Cry. (Big blabbermouth)

10. If I become famous, what will it be for?
Neak: Playing the piano and singing.
Neaksis: A stand-up comedian.

11. What am I really good at?
Neak: Making bread.
Neaksis: Producing youngest daughters.


12. What am I not really good at?
Neak: Waiting.
Neaksis: Producing any of those older offspring.

13. What is my job?
Neak: To laugh when I make a funny.
Neaksis: To hold us all together. (Great—now I’m paste.) ((Neak says – see? Neaksis says you’re ready for the glue factory. That’s why I’m your favorite. ))

14. What is my favorite food?
Neak: King Tsin, rubber noodles, won tons, egg rolls, mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Neaksis: Japanese Aunty food.

15. What makes you proud of me?
Neak: You brang us up good!
Neaksis: It’s so hard to choose.


16. What do you and I do together?
Neak: Watch TV. (Neak--Just kidding – I’m still stinging from The Princess’ answer to this one. *pout*)
Neaksis: Gossip about Neak. (I’d be watching my back from here on out, Little Sister.)

17. How are we the same?
Neak: We are both related to Neaksis. And we like MB.
Neaksis: We both think I’m wonderful. (I’m beginning to detect a Theme...)


18. How are you and I different?
Neak: I’m 96, and you’re…not.
Neaksis: We’re not. (How scary for you)

19. How do you know that I love you?
Neak: Because you watch my kids even when it’s inconvenient.
Neaksis: Because you put up with me.

20. Where is my favorite place to go?
Neak: Barnes and Noble.
Neaksis: Anywhere with Dad. (Put my eyes on the rotisserie and start the fire!)
