Bad tasting Jelly Bellies.....
Quote
Jelly Belly BeanBoozled jelly beans. Weird and nasty flavors mixed with regular ones. Makes a great game!

BeanBoozled jelly beans come in 20 flavors, 10 weird and wild flavors matched up with 10 look-alike tasty flavors. Is the black jelly bean Licorice, or is it Skunk Spray? Perhaps the blue bean is Toothpaste flavor, or maybe it�s delicious Berry Blue. Think you can tell them apart? We dare you!
You might not know when you will be bamboozled by a weird flavor. A key on the back of each box gives clues to the surprises found inside, but the beans look so similar, every bite will be a surprising dare.

Jelly Belly BeanBoozled flavor pairings are:

Canned Dog Food - Chocolate Pudding

Skunk Spray � Licorice

Rotten Egg - Buttered Popcorn

Centipede - Strawberry Jam

Booger - Juicy Pear

Baby Wipes � Coconut

Barf � Peach

Moldy Cheese - Caramel Corn

Pencil Shavings - Top Banana

Toothpaste - Berry Blue

The bagpipes are SO cute. Maybe I should get one for the Dervish for Christmas, now that Mr. C is learning the trombone and Twitty Twinseth is learning flute. What a happy-sounding place your house would be. How much your neighbors would envy you such talented children. If they try to come to MY house though, I'm getting a bazooka! And those jelly beans sound disgusting!

Before I begin, I would like to acknowledge the somber anniversary from 9 years ago. Thank you to all of the people who put their lives in danger for the safety of others. It may have happened on American soil but it affected the WORLD.

TNL, You SO should buy those bagpipes for Dervish. grin

Love the evil genius club suggestions. I just tell DSx2 to be THEMSELVES, warts and ALL when they go visit Daddy. What judge would have a problem with me telling the kiddos to be themselves? HEHEHEHEHE. They are past due learning the 99 bottles of beer song though. laugh

Had another dream about Bampot. We were back together and we were talking in the living room. He said, "Should we be doing this?" I said, "Of course we should, this is what a marriage is about." We pecked on the lips and I woke up. W-E-I-R-D.

There are times when I see couples around and I miss being a couple. I "had" someone for 18 years(well sort of for the last 2). I get jealous when I see couples walking around with their children. I envy couples walking around holding hands. I get uncomfortable seeing other couples kiss. It makes me sad. Then, I remember that I DID have some good years. I did have a good life. I have my wonderful children and I WILL be GREAT. There is a plan for me, I just don't know where I am headed yet.

I had another thought. The fact that OW doesn't like my children(you guys called that DAY 1 on November 28th last year) gives me even better reason NOT to get involved with someone else(don't worry, I mean AFTER a D). I wouldn't want someone else in their lives who might not like them. Believe me, if I did meet a man and he didn't like my children, I would kick him to the curb. Bampot used to say that too. Guess that just gets piled on with the rest of the crap he spewed before. ARGH.

Okay, I am over it. grin One moment at a time, one day at a time, one life at a time. laugh

That's just evil.

Scooter has taken up the clarinet. Dulcet tones, my a$$.

TG I own earplugs. I bought them for the range..but hey...whatever works. Tis very tempting that the earplugs are kept in the lockbox with the weapon, tho. I keep envisioning a graveside scene and a very small, skinny coffin. Everyone is secretly smiling and Scooter is in tears. Notibly absent is mom, who has been locked in the nuthatch for killing a musical instrument.

Get elder DS a clarinet. Then tell him he plays better that Squidward and tell him to show Daddy...show Daddy A LOT!



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

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

Thanx for the bagpipe jokes Neak. I was laffing my butt off.

I woke up at 2 am last night and I realized that Bampot may have been an OM about 14 years ago for an online long distance EA. We were on a chatline and he was "friends" with this married woman who was having problems in her marriage. Her WH had an affair with her bestfriend and they lived with the couple. She needed help and Bampot was there for her puke I was so angry about this "friendship" and we used to argue about it. It only stopped after I told him that she liked him more than friends. A few months before we were married she actually admitted to me that she was going to steal him from me. He stopped talking to her after he saw that chat log.

Thing is, I should have realized then that he had weak boundaries around women. I am so thankful for marriage builders. Maybe my story can help other people too. laugh

What a difference a minute can make. I saw a message from my IM on my FB and it said, "Call me ASAP, it's important!" It was from 12pm. I try to call and there is no answer. Now I am sitting here trying to figure out what it is and everything is running through my head and it is probably not even one of them. I go through the all of the things it COULD be. 1 Bampot wants to come home(HAHAHAHAHA SO UNLIKELY) 2. IM found out OW is pregnant and thought I should know(I HOPE NOT). 3 Something is wrong with a family member and it is important. ARGH. I HATE it when people do this to me.

I remember the way that I found out that my grandmother passed away. Her husband called my parent's house, where I was waiting for a delivery. I didn't answer the phone. he left a message. It said, "Just wanted to let you know that your mom died today." Then I had to call my mom and tell her and we had to find my Dad. I used to say THAT was a horrible way to find out. But this whole, "I have something to talk to you about...." and then leaving me hanging is killing me. I am going to try to calm down and brace for all of the possibilities. I know I have support no matter what it is. laugh

My regular IM's GF broke her hip yesterday morning and she is in the hospital for surgery right now. It was one of the things on my list. She should be okay. She is going to have to go through extensive physical therapy. I am going to go visit her tomorrow in the hospital. Good to know what it was finally. It was a hard 2.5 hours. I really hate when people do that to me. laugh

NP Mymissy. And occupational therapy. When we haven't gone through things like this ourselves, sometimes it is hard to know exactly what will happen and who all of the people are.
