WLT: have fleas on the knees of bees?

The WLT & Way of the Willet Theme Song Combo

We'll be posting till the morning wait and see,
And we'll make them as confusing as can be,
There'll be nonesense and Outsanity,
To confuddle all humanity,
This Thread is mad so post along with me.

We'll be scoffing all the cookies we can see,
And we'll eat as many chocolates as can be,
There'll be thong talk and Outsanity,
And a general dose of vanity,
This Thread is now as sturdy as a tree.

With a question then an answer then a quote,
We will keep this thread as bouyant as a boat,
No KT member will be safe,
If they enter our little space,
We will capture them within the words we wrote.

When your naff boss really seems to get your goat,
We will make you laugh quite heartily from the throat,
No simple message will be safe,
In this double entendre space,
As we quote and chat and generally gloat.

What is this total chaos you may ask,
And what is this strange threads overriding task?
It's to talk for far too long,
To make our droll w**k speed along,
The Willets ways are here to always last!

What is this thread in question you may ask,
And what is this strange threads overriding task?
It's to make a thread so long,
That the world will sing along,
World's Longest Thread is here to always last!

The World's Longest Thread FAQS

Welcome! Wilkommen! Bienvenue! Bienvenida! Fáilte! Sdrasvitye! Kia Ora! Croeso! Tervetuloa! To The World's Longest Thread!

A question that us regular posters, Willeteers as we’ve come to be known, here on the WLT are often asked is 'whuh?' Well, it's quite simple really. . .

So how'd this all start?

The World's Longest Thread dates back to the beginning of the WoAM KTBB, a bulletin board not dissimilar to this one, where it began its existence as a humble but effective exercise in post count uppage and random emoticon posting :crazy: :evil: :p The original WLT was over 100 pages in length, causing that bulletin board to crash and bringing the wrath of the PowersThatBe. Those-who-must-be-obeyed decreed that no Willet on that site could be more than 15 pages. Doing this also gives us the chance to dream up interesting or amusing names for each new WLT. As you can tell (check our WLT History Page (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/wlthistory.html) to see), we don't always manage it, but it's the thought that counts.

What do we post here?

Well, likesay, it started off as random smilies and such, but like any good viral infection, it's diversified and evolved since then. Some people come here to post little details from their life, let off steam about their unworthy employers, or share funny things they heard or saw. Others come here to trade witticisms, brag about how much dosh they made on Celebdaq, or post their most recent high score at this week's fashionable Flash-based internet game (Run Escape! for example) that the world will have forgotten in a month (anyone remember that game from last month?). Yet others come here to call Anonew 'Gwyneth' and generally annoy him cough*Jayson*cough. Or to watch the WLT renowned Kitty & Jayson Show. It's very much a case of post what you want, when you want.

To enhance your posting enjoyment please feel free to use this devilishly fiendish piece of programming from Anonew :cool: (http://earth.prohosting.com/dartga/kt_ciser.html) just click the smilie , a tool most useful in making your drivel appear pretty. However, you'll receive complaints if you do this too often, since it messes up the formatting of the archived versions (don't even ask -- there are some things you'll learn as you go).

What's the deal with all the poems?

At some point in the past, it was decided that whoever made the first post on a new page, with the exception of page 1 and page 15, would have to post a page starting poem. This was generally kinda cool, but for those unlucky enough to get stung with a poem five or six times in a row (it happened) it was a bit onerous, to which end Anonew came up with The WLT Poem Generator (http://earth.prohosting.com/dartga/poemgen.html) which, despite some controversy, takes 99% of the effort out of doing page starting poems, if so wanted. No-one’s looking for Shakespeare after all. Of course there’s also the much copied classic from Kitster, the "innit" poem which shall be a treasured memory for many years (or hours at least!) FAQ’s, Innit!

There is also a traditional poem that appeared on each page 15 (along with the lengthy tale "The Curse of the Unfinished Willet") which can be found in our off-site archives (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/).

Some folk in doing the poems for so long on WoAM, became a wee bit weary of trying to find rhymes for some of the pages, like seven and eleven and so, some of the most ancient willeteers were granted not only exemption from doing so but also the almighty power to grant immunity to others; you can read more about this on our Poem Immunity Page (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/nktimmunities.html).

Page starting poems, following a brief period of banning due to excessive length and copyright breachment have been re-established in this new forum and we do find that upon starting a page, if you wish to stand up and recite poetry to us or your friend/lodger/cat/coffee cup* (*Delete as appropriate) this is perfectly acceptable and often rather therapeutic, so long as they are no longer than say, twelve lines, and original in content! Alternatively a random factoid, a link, a personal fact, or joke can be posted, though this is considered by some as the boring and uninspired way out of a poem corner. Some willeteers also like to intersperse non-page-starting poems or quote song lyrics: this is usually considered alright, if they're only snippets and not epics, and their authors are properly credited within the post. Unfortunatly due to a recent abuse of poemage in the WLT, the hosties have decreed that only page starting poems are to be posted. All other poetry should be in the appropriate forum. However, should you be the lucky one to start a page and either ignore or not realize that fact, and the page ends without appropriate poemage being offered, you will be subject to dire consequences, the likes of which are too ugly to describe in this nice, polite FAQ document.

Okay, got that. Now what's all these stats and the really long poem at the beginning?

The long poem at the beginning is basically the WLT National Anthem and should appear in the first post of every WLT. No ifs, no buts, just do it! It can also be found in the off-site archives (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/). Near the start of each new Willet, we post the stats from the last one, including the number of posts made by each individual willeteer and also the ongoing stats. A list of people who've started a WLT and how many they've done are included and almost of most importance, a list of the number of pages and posts from the start of the WLT. It is the World's Longest Thread after all. . . We need this as proof!

Why?

It's an expression of everyone's inner nerd, probably. It's also a huge pain in the neck - almost everyone complains about doing them but secretly loves doing so! Make sure you’ve mastered copy and paste before you start a Willet! And please -- if you know that you'll be logging off or have no desire to start a Willet, do not post within the last 10 lines of page 15 of any WLT. Of course, if you've not participated in at least two previous Willets, you're not eligible to start one, so don't even think of it.

Newbie pot? Cushion?

Simply, this is the initiation ceremony for new Willeteers. For the duration of your first WLT, you will be thrown in the newbie pot (take a hot bath of stew in other words). For your second WLT, you're a cushion. After that -- and only after that, you're eligible to compete to be a WLT-starter (yes, a daunting task, but we even have an Instruction Page (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/wlt_start.html)) And please don't feel self-conscious about your trip into the newbie pot -- you'll find that willeteers are always getting wet, whether by jumping into the duck pond or hot tub, or getting dowsed with a bucket of water.

This affects me how?

Not at all. We're not some kinda bizarre clique of weirdos here (except in the sense that we blatantly are) so you can either post a few 'splash splash' type posts, or just breeze on past this thread in search of your favourite bonding or some serious discussion on which colour of dragon is most likely to hatch from an egg of indeterminate size but kept three degrees warmer than the others!

Smart operators will already have discerned that the initiation can be avoided by waiting until near the end of page 15, making one 'Hi I'm posting here' type post, thereby cutting out the entire newbie pot stage in a fell swoop of timing (or something). But be warned: the WLT has a habit of generating new traditions at the drop of a hat. Never think yourself safe!

Ketchup? Is this a diner?

No, though we often post about food and reading the WLT may make you extremely hungry. Quite a lot of the posts generated here are done when people log into the forums, and catch up with the progress of the WLT, usually by quoting lots of people's posts and responding. Catch up aka Ketchup, Cat Poop, Catching Hoops or some other such expression is the terminology used by all the Willeteers who enjoy this willet tradition.

Suppose I'm enjoying myself and want to go past the 15th page?

We really wouldn't recommend that. In fact, it's actually considered to be illegal and immoral -- at least in our somewhat skewed world view. Any posts beyond page 15 do not count in the running totals, and may result in bad-tempered reactions from other willeteers, ranging from sharp bites to a stint in the stocks, with other posters throwing rancid and rotten objects at you (also the punishment for those who post enough in one Willet to annoy others and bring complaints of how fast it went and how much ketchup resulted). If you value your limbs and clean clothing, remember this: Fifteen is thine magic number: the number shalt be fifteen. Thou shalt not stop at fourteen nor proceed to sixteen, but achieve the number fifteen in its fulfillment!

Is this thread anything to do with ClanFiend?

Not in and of itself, no. However, scientists working in a shed in East Sussex recently calculated that at its present rate of growth, by 2010 everything in the world will have something to do with ClanFiend, so don't hold your breath. For those who have still got no idea what we’re talking about and are now in deeper confuddlement with the mention of ClanFiend, check the ClanFiend Info Page! (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/clanfiend.html)

Anything else I oughta know?

Probably, but we've been typing for ages now, so that's your lot, nearly. . .

We have just enough typing ability left to say:
’We hope your enjoy your visit here at the WLT. Please note that toilet facilities are located at the rear of the building, but due to budget cutbacks and no-one being bothered, these haven't been cleaned since 1912. Same deal with the kitchen - last month whatever lives in there nailed the door shut and set up an independent democratic republic.’

Anyhow, enjoy your stay and come back often!

Does your dungeon have fleas in it? Or bees? Perhaps giant insect mages roaming the wilds, hoping to prey upon innocent adventurers? I'm guessing not, but I'm still curious about what you're going to inflict on your players!

[Cherlyn]

I dare say there were a fair number of dogs and a horse or two on the last page of the last Willet . . .

[BZWingZero]

No, not fleas or bees. There are giant beetle-like insects that live underground that they will encounter. And zombies. Lots of zombies. Zombie dogs too. If they are lucky to survive that, they will then have to face off against three minotaurs in a fight in an arena similar to the roman coliseum.

[BZWingZero]

I tried to build the dungeon fair without making the monsters too strong. However I don't think they will survive. :devil:

[Bullbound]

Kath, in answer to your question at the end of the last chapter, yes. Yes, you should :ketchup:. Lots of good stuff in the last part of the ever growing WLT.

I read through about four pages, and will continue working my way backwards later.

Now, I am off to read and write about poetry.

Windows Vista has transfer software built in. Look for it under All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Windows Easy Transfer. It claims to allow for easy copying from XP SP2 of:
• Files and folders
• E-mail settings
• Contacts and messages
• Program settings
• User accounts and settings
• Internet settings and favorites
• Music
• Pictures and videos

MS Knowlegebase article here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928635).

I haven't used it but it should work. I usually just copy my user folder and all the hidden files. And I back up and export my bookmarks. Installed programs usually get reinstalled and reconfigured to do away with the clutter.
PCMover is supposed to be much better than Windows Easy Transfer. Anyway, that's what I'll be using later.

If I don't keep having networking problems. :irked:

Is there any point ketching? Or should I just start the next one?

There wasn't from the last one to the one before that, was there? But if you insist...

First page of the last willet (http://www.annemccaffreyfans.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18545)

Oohh... you mean one of those links in the last post of the old thread pointing to the beginning of the new thread...

Still, BZWingZero didn't add one either, so you can cry at him too now! :razz:
And he didn't on the one before that. And nor did Cherlyn on the one before that. Nor did Bullbound on the one before that. Or Dux. Or Beisla. Or Faren. Or ANYONE who started a willet that hasn't fallen out of the archives yet.


I'm feeling all put-upon now. :cry3: Or should I just be flattered that you're holding me to higher standards than anyone else?

[woollymouse]

Joins Wolfie in complaining about the backwards stuff. I've had to leave work today as mousling has a very lively botty. At least we got to play out in the garden as the weathr is sunny (one soggy mousling as we were playing with water). Now she is discovering her feet.

[woollymouse]

Does crawling make babies have diarorrha?

It's either that or the weather or there are more tusks on the way. She is far to wriggly to find out about the teeth however.

[ShadowReine]

Meh.

[Ghyle]

Woke up just before three, to the sounds of someone trying the back door again, so I called the police and waited till they came around. They had gone by then, so the police car went to patrol the neighbourhood.

I doubt that I shall get back to sleep in a hurry: at least I can distract myself with Esperanto poetry.

*checks instructions*

"Congratualations on your new canine! In the event of a tosser attempting to run off with your shitty stereo that don't work right since your drunken mate tried to fry an egg in the CD thingy, follow the following intructions:

Step One: Grab canine.
Step Two: Throw canine at the tosser
Step Three: Run away crying.
Step Four: Get a real dog, not some bug-eyed inbred paperweight."

[Cherlyn]

With those little dogs, you hope the burglars laugh themselves to death . . .

Of course you can always use the signs my dad used:
"Never Mind the Dog
BEWARE of Owner"
and
"This Property protected by a .357"

[Cherlyn]

You can always get a Dobie and a parrot . . .

A guy breaks into a house and starts searching for valuables. he enters a room and he hears, "Jesus is watching you". He starts to panic thinking he'd been caught when he shines a light on a parrot.
"Jesus is watching you," repeats the parrot.
"Shut up, birdbrain" says the guy and turns around. There sits a Doberman with teeth bared. The tag on his collar says, 'Jesus'.
"Jesus is watching you," repeats the parrot.
Rattled, the guy yells, "Shut up, parrot! Can't you say anything else?"
The parrot says, "Sic'em Jesus!"

Wolfling has been playing in our tiny garden, helping mummy do the weeding by deadheading the flowers.... although I should of anticipated him eating them!

He's got a sore booty too, had to wash the garden off him so changed him at the same time and his skin on his butt was red and weeping - a sure sign he's teething. This will be teeth 5 & 6, his two top front teeth, now hopefully he'll stop looking like a vampire.

[Kathryn Draconna]

Cats fight to figure out their social order and different territories. If you have a cat which lives partially outdoors, keeping him in after a fight will mean he loses his territory and will have to fight twice as hard to reclaim it. When a new cat moves into an area, you'll get a couple of fights to start with, but they settle down remarkably quickly once they get to know each other and where they stand. But continually removing and reintroducing your cat to the outside world means that the fight-cycle never gets broken, and doesn't do either cat any favours.

My cat has more than half the neighborhood cats scared to death of her... I just didn't want to have to listen to the damn cat fight. Thankfully it didn't get loud that night after she was put back out.

I'm not allowed out. I used to be an indoor/outdoor cat until the building owner said all cats in the building had to be kept indoors. There was a lot more cats in the building then. Now there's only two of us, and the owner relented, but Mother doesn't let me out. She doesn't want to risk me being outside while she's at work at night. She says I've been an indoor cat long enough that my street smarts might not be what they were, and I'm middle-aged now.

my cat would throw such a fit if she had to be in all the time that it's not worth fighting with her.

[Rabble]

I was refering to Ghyle of course I know Rabbles is a she . . . I was trying to keep my eyes open at the compy and I misread that Ghyle was first to mention a canine . . . and all he needs is band-aids . . . unless he wants some of mine . . . I need something stronger than the 18 hour or Cross-My-Heart brands!

It's not like I buy the cat the cheap stuff. I resisted the temptation to share so that he wouldn't start thinking people tuna is what he is supposed to get or that I've become more of a push over when he is concerned than I really am.
Lately I've been given a couple of good lectures about buying your pets cheap food, and they've quite convinced me. I think it ends up costing you more if you buy cheap stuff.

[Beisla]

Thanks! A good day was had by all. :D

I have recently returned from a day in Esperantujo (Esperanto-land) in Brisbane. Not a place, a meeting, of Esperantists. I had a fine time, and was attempting to translate some English idioms into Esperanto; plus I got 10 right out of 12 on a quiz!

I am also thinking of becoming vegan.

A the strict vegtable eater (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegan), An inhabitant of the Alpha Lyrae system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vega), or Trenton Doyle Hancock's creature?

What's Esperanto for "Smurfs are to be shot on sight"?

I guess it would be something like "Tumulto estas pafigxa."

Today my gf is going on a riding camp with her sister, and I'm going with them and their mom to drop her off. They're taking an extra riding lesson (ie. not part of the camp) right when we get there, and I'm going along.
It'll be jumping, which I do sporadically and just for fun; I've only had a couple of real jumping lessons in my life. And it's been eleven years since I've last been on proper riding lessons on a big horse. :eek: (I ride Icelandics.)
So yeah... I hope it'll be all right.

Wolfling has been playing in our tiny garden, helping mummy do the weeding by deadheading the flowers.... although I should of anticipated him eating them!

He's got a sore booty too, had to wash the garden off him so changed him at the same time and his skin on his butt was red and weeping - a sure sign he's teething. This will be teeth 5 & 6, his two top front teeth, now hopefully he'll stop looking like a vampire.
It's definately teething I managed to get a peek in her mouth and there looks to be a top tooth on the left hand side. The bot is still sore but the nappies are not so loose. She seems happier today.
I'm renting, and not allowed to have "pets". I reckon a woollymouse would be better...

"Look! it's a mouse!

"With tusks!

"How cute!"

*impale!*

"Urgle!*

*decease!*Ahhhh an ex-smurf!

I am? :eek:

*looks inside her blouse*

:eek: I AM! :faint:
:giggle:
Lately I've been given a couple of good lectures about buying your pets cheap food, and they've quite convinced me. I think it ends up costing you more if you buy cheap stuff.
Cheap food never has the same quality as the more expensive stuff and animals know this. Why have mush when for a few pennies more you can have fresh salmon.........

Ghyle, seems to me like this is becoming a daily problem for you. Same time every night? If so, perhaps the police could send an unmarked car to catch the individual(s). Either that or maybe one of the neighbors might be able to deal out a little "rough justice".

[Ghyle]

Last night was a different time, different side of the house, different door, plus they possibly went off to harassa neighbour; I went out the front, and saw the neighbour's security light go on, across the street and near the corner.

Part of the problem is that I live near to both public housing areas, and to communities notorious for the criminality of some of their inhabitants.

And every couple of Friday nights the local youths emerge from the local Salvation Army centre, and go wandering around causing mischief as well; last time they did that, they banged on doors until 1-2 am, down my street.

Get on your hands and knees. Anything that is at your eye level and down ether needs to be secured or moved. As they work up to toddling, you need to move that zone to head level when you are on your knees - unless they can climb to it . . .

btw: when will we ever get a Pope calling himself Papa Guiseppi? Imagine the pizza sales!

If I am delusional, so is the pope,
and I've seen him as soap, yes as soap on a rope,
but I wouldn't expect that a pope would soon poop
in the chicken, asparagus, apricot soup
for a troop of pooped troopers
or a schoolboy with super-
powers to warm towels,
or warn trowels, or warm owls
who are building a playpen for gay pugs or else Dux
in a frock nigh a flock of the frog-eating ducks,

They've been gradually replacing the windows in our building. They are supposed to be doing the rest starting Friday. Mom's going to shut me up in the bedroom when they are doing ours. Beats being shut in the bathroom which is where I was when they did the bedroom window.

I bet Mom is going to have a cleaning frenzy after she gets home. Gotta tidy up a bit before things get done. :roll:

Cleaning has begun, but since the owner told the manager the wrong day, I've time to clean in stages. The windows will be starting this coming Friday.

Dunno where the title came from... too many cats roaming the last page of the last one?No such thing as too many cats.

No, not fleas or bees. There are giant beetle-like insects that live underground that they will encounter. And zombies. Lots of zombies. Zombie dogs too. If they are lucky to survive that, they will then have to face off against three minotaurs in a fight in an arena similar to the roman coliseum.
How about Zombie fleas?
I wish I had one of my page immunities back . . . it would at least give me a chance to be able to say - "I has immunity :razz:"
Must check with Immunity Fairy.

I had immunity for a couple of pages when we were at the original KT . . . I had showed up back in 2001 . . . have I been around you guys that long ?!?!? No wonder the outsanity is rubbing off on me!

You can always get a Dobie and a parrot . . .

A guy breaks into a house and starts searching for valuables. he enters a room and he hears, "Jesus is watching you". He starts to panic thinking he'd been caught when he shines a light on a parrot.
"Jesus is watching you," repeats the parrot.
"Shut up, birdbrain" says the guy and turns around. There sits a Doberman with teeth bared. The tag on his collar says, 'Jesus'.
"Jesus is watching you," repeats the parrot.
Rattled, the guy yells, "Shut up, parrot! Can't you say anything else?"
The parrot says, "Sic'em Jesus!" :giggle:

My cat has more than half the neighborhood cats scared to death of her... I just didn't want to have to listen to the damn cat fight. Thankfully it didn't get loud that night after she was put back out.



my cat would throw such a fit if she had to be in all the time that it's not worth fighting with her.
It was a near thing, I won that fight. Still on occasion he will make bid for freedom. Doesn't get very far. It's like once outside, he saunters so I can catch him.

[Kathryn Draconna]

Good. I'm glad everybody's safe.

I'm not sure I could live in a place where the natural disasters came without warning. Tornadoes? A few minutes warning. not enough. Earthquakes, no warning. Volcanoes? Maybe a possibility of something happening sometime, but no real estimates of when, just estimates of if. Hurricanes? Known about weeks beforehand and landfall can be predicted to within hours, estimated days beforehand.

[Bullbound]

I heard on the news that the earthquake has disrupted cell phone use. I'm gonig to guess there has been structural damage to some places but it seems that people are bouncing back right quick.

Over course, while it's going on, it seems an eternity.

But there is plenty of time to prepare for lots of rain and relatively high winds. Enough time to cut dead branches from trees and board up windows without stress.

And most hurricanes aren't any worse than our afternoon thunderstorms. They just last much longer; however the hurricanes rarely have lightning.

A llama travelled far one day,
from far Peru to Norway,
when all around was snow and grey
in hopes that there'd be more gays.

And, when she got there, she had found
the badgers fighting smurfs
on golfing greens and cricket grounds,
and on the racing turfs.

And these events, they did offend
ms llama with their drama--
and so she pitted* smurfs: thus ends
the saga of ms llama!

And most hurricanes aren't any worse than our afternoon thunderstorms. They just last much longer; however the hurricanes rarely have lightning.

True. It's the suddeness of Earthquakes that is part of why they are so disconsorting.

I've been working on an index for a book of essays about Blatty, the chap who wrote The Exorcist. It's going slowly, but I am getting there, and I have just finished indexing a long section on the history of the Devil in literature.

I read the Exorcist long before I saw the movie.

Indexing doesn't sound like much fun, but the history of the Devil in literature should be interesting.

[Sharon]

:woohoo: I get to go to Sanibel Island on Monday or Tuesday for a few days to spend time with my Baube and Zayde.

How wonderful, hope you have a great time!

[Sharon]

I should be asleep by now but there are no roommates left until the new boarders arrive. Yay for college style apartments. The new roommates though should be much better. I've already talked to two of the three. One is a grad student (nice and quiet) and the other that I talked to is very serious about studying and is skipping a year of free dorm housing because he wants a quiet, calm, clean, sane place. I think I'm going to have a good one year lease with this group.

This sounds very hopeful, goodness knows you are due for better roommates than the ones of the recent past.

[Sharon]

Your what and who?


I sure hope so, BullboundSon.

His grandparents. Yiddish words I believe.

[FallingLlama]

I've mostly been sitting back and reading the WLT lately but need to comment on the poemage -- of course!
:good: Bravo!
Llama traveling, smurfs being pitted, good quality stuff there.
However, the badgers would have been pitted as well.

[Ghyle]

I read the Exorcist long before I saw the movie.

Indexing doesn't sound like much fun, but the history of the Devil in literature should be interesting.

It's basically reading the book as closely as possible, and noting down names, key terms and key ideas, and on what pages. At the end of the day, you get an index for the book, and, hopefully, paid.

You may not be able to forget the horrible, horrible scream but that is because it is oddly satisfying.

Yup, Baube and Zayde are yiddish for Grandmother and Grandfather.

True. It's the suddeness of Earthquakes that is part of why they are so disconsorting.

You can't outrun them either . . . You can get your person out of the way of a twister if you go ahead and heed the warnings - though in some places they can't monitor the weather as close as we can - and some people still don't listen anyway or go stand outside to watch ! :shake:

:woohoo: I get to go to Sanibel Island on Monday or Tuesday for a few days to spend time with my Baube and Zayde.

Oho....... better warn the teddies quick.

Wolfling's learnt the fun of the midnight dummy game - hubby dearest retrieved 7 of the things from under the cot this morning - we're have a reorganisation as a certain cub has worked out CD's and books come off shelves if you pull them.
She's trying to push a teddy through the bars but the teddy is too big.
Get on your hands and knees. Anything that is at your eye level and down ether needs to be secured or moved. As they work up to toddling, you need to move that zone to head level when you are on your knees - unless they can climb to it . . .
Boo has been most everywhere except hanging from the ceiling fan - but not for the lack of trying ! She can get to everything even if you hide it. Curreently she is sitting on my shoulders patting my head and babbling in my ear!

Cat came out of hiding. He must have been sleeping under the bed and just stayed there.Socksie knows where he is safe either that or he slept throught the whole thing.

That's not going to stop some people from boiling us.

Should I finish this page? I'm not tired even though I should be. I think I may have fallen asleep earlier without realizing it.

I think I'll almost set the trap.

[Bullbound]

It is late/early enough (3:30 AM) that I am not going to be so cruel as to leave a trap.

[Bullbound]

It is more fun to leave people thinking they have space to respond and end up with poemage or take the route of the :fiend: and leave a trap.

I changed it the first day that I could.
I'm one hour behind you . . . and the Boo is still wound up and going strong !
Don't you put him to sleep the same time every day and wake him the same time? Or am I mixing up your family again and Boo isn't the youngest?

[Cherlyn]

Boo is the only child I try but he'll sleep and then wake up and try to play on the computer or watch TV. I have those so he can't but he ends up doing something and going to bed at around sunup. He is going to have to get his time changed around since school starts August 14th.

[Cherlyn]

I am up now trying to get the little jerk into bed and then I'll follow - I hope. I've been having problems sleeping myself.

[Cherlyn]

I think Sam Elliott is handsome too ! :heart:

[Bullbound]

Cherlyn, you could try what my mother did. Starting about an hour before bed, I could either read or calmly play but no t.v. or music. Then, once I went to bed, I had to stay in my bed or at least my bedroom. If she heard me moving around, she opened the door, tucked me back in bed, and took whatever I had been playing with unless it was a book. I had a little book light that was good for about 30 minutes and that was it. She made sure that it never had a fully charged battery.

[Cherlyn]

Actually I was meant that the Abominations should be minced before boiling.

Although mincing idjits works for me.

Where he will be employed as a cleaner of port-a-potties. :loo:

Well, as I was arriving I saw a masked figure riding the Steamroller of Doom squishing an abomination. Perhaps it was your twin.

I thought you'd be stuck like the Texas Longhorn fans who would drive to Norman to watch the Red River Rivalry. As they were driving they would see signs that said "Clean Restrooms".
Do you know how many restrooms were between Austin and Norman? They were late because they were cleaning them all . . .
Can you imagine the number of port-a-potties there are in Beijing? :faint:

Just to say that I won't be around for a bit around the 26th!- Moving day!

[Kath]

Kath, having any special/strange food cravings?

Not recently. Just a nicely balanced diet! I have had carrot and dairy urges in the past (not at the same time, mind!) which tied in very nicely to development of bones and eyes. Oh, and every now and then I want to eat a brown paper bag (more fibre needed, and I was stuck on a tram a long way from the nearest shop where I could have picked up some apricots?) but aside from the carrots there's not really been any kind of MUST! HAVE! NOW! food needs.

[Kath]

Quiches - variety
Scrambled eggs
hard boiled eggs
soft boiled eggs
poached eggs
Eggs Benedict


Mmm, lovely breakfast!

And that's just reminded me of another food craving a month or so ago. I cooked myself an omelette.

And I absolutely loathe eggs... :erm:

So yeah, nothing totally off the wall (don't mention the paper bags! :noface: ), but I'm very impressed with my body's ability to say 'you need more of this right now, kthxbye!'


You know, there's a theory that cravings are just a way of keeping your other half busy and getting attention. Maybe the fact that Jez has been stuck in England until last week has kept them away! :laugh:

Yep. Chocolate and coffee. *nods*

Ummm...I think Coffee is probably a lot more hardcore than chocolate or catnip.

I mean I know I won't die if I don't get catnip.

Mom won't die if she doesn't get chocolate.

But coffee...she probably would die without it. It's as necessary as oxygen.
