Episode 8: "Common Threads" Options

[Radyms13]

Oh, yes, I had liver and onions growing up, but my mother overcooked the liver, hence shoeleather.

So, I got to something else, as an adult . . . simmer beef or pork liver mildly in V-8, being careful not to overcook the liver . . . a little pink in the center is not a bad thing. Incredibly tender and tasty . . . in fact, rather sassy!!

Great idea!! Something I never thought of and it sounds really good.

I tend to hover when I cook liver---I've had the overcooked shoeleather!

[helencrump]

OMG! I was thinking the exact same thing! I figured since the kids were explaining what they had cooked, spike's little helper was either going to sport his own or snatch Spike's.

Man alive, two for five!!

What an incredibly unsanitary thing to do.

Anybody (oh, yes, me the mother of three with a stepson, and that makes four) knows you don't share head gear . . . opportunities for those dad blamed lice to jump ship.

And don't blame me.

Now, different subject to Pita . . .

I never have cursed in front of my children, as you make mention of making up substitutes.

I've got plenty . . .

Golly Ned

Golly Ned capoots

Wholly crimenently

Golly gee marifian

what in gol darn blazes

what the dang blang blazes

They go on forever, as I've had to make them up through baseball games, softball games and all sorts of interesting discussions at home.

My point has always been . . .

If you have to resort to profanity, you probably can find better words that are more descriptive of what you want to say.

So find those words, and have a conversation.

By Whom?
(and don't think that little print hides anything!!!!)

Actually, the little print might be foreshadowing of its size . . . shrinkage (or shrimpage) factor notwithstanding.

You are a Gal after my own heart! By Gum!

If you and/or others are ever interested in reading about a paranoid/delusional, remind me to tell you The Saga and today's latest documented entry in:

"As This Neighbor Turns"

He's got enough colorful language to put Cezan, Monet, Manet and Picasso to shame.
OY!
Vey!
*another violent rolleyes*
I won't bore you with the details, but suffice it to say, he's quite "Saucy" in his language in front of children and adults.

Oh no---I have a Crazy Neighbor Lady myself. Sad to say folks like that don't have extensive vocabularies. There is no *conversating* with some people, dag nabbit.

Ha ha Helen.... not sure if these qualify for "whiney assed antics" just letting my friends know what happened to me.

Perhaps I should've PMed them all.

yeah... fark that shite, this way was faster

Oh, for goodness sakes, no, MicrowaveHo. I'm so sorry.

That's not what I meant at all. And I'm sorry I said it so that you took it wrong.

What I meant by "whiney assed antics" was that oftentimes strong-willed people tend to disregard the doctor's orders and get mobile before their body should and then mess up the healing process.

That's all.

And I'm really sorry for your fall. It sounded so horrible, and I saw (in my mind) those bones protruding out of your leg . . . and you say four breaks. What an incredibly horrific thing you went through.

So, I meant only good healing for you . . . and do mind your doctor's orders.

[Radyms13]

Two words....Judge Judy!!!

I loves me some JJ.......My crazy drunk neighbor thinks she's the condo police.

Oh long involved story, but went waaay beyond Judge Judy!! Ended up being really good friends with all the cops tho. I was gonna put up a website ....CNL (for Crazy Neighbor Lady) dot WHACKED.

Don't get me wrong. I WILL cuss like a sailor out to sea, in appropriate company/topic. I've been known to let fly a "WTF?" when I've felt necessary.

However, I have, in my feeble mind, an extensive vocabulary. I've been taught to use it well. Police + Vulgarities= a bad scene.

But, Police + Matter-of-Fact language (nothing personal other than "seemed", "appeared", "acted as though...")= positive police back-up.
^5

I recently said to someone that I put my "Big Girl Panties" on everyday. That means in my everyday life, too. I can't conttrol what you or the neighbor think of me, other than what I choose to present to you.

I choose to present a reasonable, thoughtful, questioning, nice ( I hope!) voice.

If anyone construes differently, I can't help'em.

I have two brothers that were in the Navy and I can make them blush. I choose to show most of the world that I have better ways to express myself. Mostly my *blue* language is combined with my warped humor.

[teleburst]

Of course I can disprove your allegation. If I was just like Tom all the comments that came after my post would be deleted as well.

LOL

"If I were just like Tom..."...funny how that wasn't said by me at all...and funny how it wouldn't disprove anything anyway.



Oh, I forgot...LOL

Oh you girls and your liver. Egads!!!!! I don't do organs (stifle KK). However, my ma made this chicken liver dip-sorta-pate thingy for xmas that I did like. Only time it ever crossed these lips (double stifle kk).

[chucole]

I strongly have the urge to discuss politics and
religion

I'm watching parts of old movies on Veoh....I'm in heaven.

Bette Davis would slap you if you
spoke to her that way.
With a gloved hand no less.

OMG, "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" was on this a.m. Chuckles (who is 8 yrs my junior) had never seen it. Creeped him out. I told him that was the point. I love that movie, still.

[chucole]

That movie scared the beeeeeeegeeuz out of me.
The commercials alone were horrid.
I had nightmares and it's still hard to watch.
Dear GAWD she was ugly!!!!
Not many movies scare me but that did.



BTW I never saw Arlo Guthrie play but I wouldn't pay a lot to see him..
I mean over others.....If I'm gonna' pay a lot to
see someone I want a lot of action.
If it 's cheap I would go or in a very small intimate setting.
I love him but....Tom Petty and Steve Winwood will be here in July...Now THAT I will pay for.


Who is Chuckles????

Chuckles is the hub. Seen Petty. Pretty good. Not Winwood, although I love his voice.
Bear in mind we have slim pickins as far as concerts go in this town. If someone decent comes, I feel the need.

Girl, you need to pull up a chair beside me. Uh. Hmmmph.
I'm pouring a middle of the road YellowTail Merlot tonight. But, I reckon I could pour you a cuppa cawfee and we'd do just fine.

*THIS* thread, *THIS* dialogue, *THIS* is what I would call a "Common Thread".

Well, Shoot. There I go again. I have NO idea which thread I'm supposed to be in to expound upon my *snort* "thoughts". We could just as easily be in Off Topic. .
