    Anisa-: Whoot! Frigg'n Whoot! Whoot!!! It's been so lonely 'round these parts without her :( -


Word Weaver:

The well-taught philosophic mind
To all compassion gives:
Casts round the world an equal eye
And feels for all that lives.

~Anna Letitia Barbauld

    Kelleigh: If only there were more people like that in this world...but alas, far too many find it more fitting to judge and cast others aside.....I'm feeling a bit philosophic myself today :) -
    dbmccarter: I really love this quote and it says all that needs to be said. -

Word Weaver: My condolences go out to Duane's wife and family.
I have just read the note on the home page and I cannot express how grieved I was to read such news.
As one of his friends, I will deeply feel his absence.
He will be remembered forever and greatly missed.

    robyn corum: I'm glad! Now - who told you you could leave in the first place?! Next time get written permission! -

Word Weaver: is helping the army of ants invade Mom's pantry again...
    Celtic~Soul: We've had mice in our kitchen drawers. Damned, dirty little buggers pooping all over my silverware. Or at least they were before the nice no-touch traps busted their widdle mousy necks. Caught 5 so far. Hope we got them all!

    Mice in cages = adorable pets

    Mice in kitchen = violent (but quick) deaths -
    purrfect tale: Sounds like the opening line to a horror story to me.

Word Weaver:
ummm...Tom?
can you please make us a FanCooking or a FanRecipes?
pleeeeeease, pleeease, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease???

    LadyCosgrove: That sounds like an excellent idea!
    What do you say Tom? -
    shelley kaye: or a new forum to share cooking recipes....
    -
    Anisa-: That'd be pretty awesome! I was just flipping through my cake/cupcake decorations book and thinking about how fun it would be to share designs, etc and get ideas.

    Then I saw this post! Lol. Weird. -

    Ahem!

    After meticulous examination of this very interesting *specimen* I gather that your TRUE name Gertrude Bartholomew, that you have have a job as an official ghost (since you own a silent shoe), and that you seem to enjoy dusting your cat while it sits upon your shoes (which accounts for these two cat hairs)...and...*sniffs shoe*..DEAR ME!!

Word Weaver:
But why was the case called 'A Scandal in Bohemia'???
There was no scandal and it was not in Bohemia..
    Lady & Louis: Because the King in question purportedly came from Bohemia and the scandal would have been there - he was due to marry and it would have been called off if his relationship with Irene Adler had come to light. -
    Word Weaver: Exactly! That's why it should have been called: "The Scandal that ALMOST Happened in LONDON"...But since THAT would hardly satisfy Dear Dr. Watson's twisted taste, I guess we'll just have to suffer the ominous title: "A Scandal in Bohemia"

    another jim: I've got some cockroaches under my fridge that need CPR. Can you help a brother out? -
    shelley kaye: wanna get rid of the ants? use windex! spray it on the trail the ants take, wipe it up.... you may have to do it twice depending on how bad your ant problem is.... unless of course you LIKE your little pets ;-)

    I never thought you can access the internet from way down there..or I would have dug me a home underground a long time ago...

    BWAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

    He who laughs last, laughs best! :p

    Border Reiver: Grab him before he goes. They don't hang around long :)
    Mine left me after a few days. -

    Lady & Louis: Or wear an overall and look like you know what you're doing. Building I worked in back in the '80s had two big leather couches stolen from the foyer by two blokes with a van - they just walked out with them in the middle of the day, unquestioned! -

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are good is like expecting the bull not to charge because you are a vegetarian.


Word Weaver: We've got this oven with a 'stop time' button. It's probably meant to be 'stop timer' but I don't touch it, just in case.
    another jim: And the rest of the human race appreciates that... -

The major problem with reality is that there's no background music, so you can never really know whether something mysterious, evil or adventurous is about to happen...

Methinks that if you've got a T-shirt with bloodstains all over it, chances are that laundry won't be your biggest problem. Maybe you should try to get rid of the body before you do the wash.

Word Weaver: Where did Noah keep the woodpeckers in his ark????
    another jim: In a steel box, right next to the termites... -
    Word Weaver: Never mind. Why couldn't they fly anyway??? -


Word Weaver: There is this one question that keeps intriguing me. Whenever I start thinking about it I can never stop and I usually end up getting very irritated:

DOES THE DOG WAG THE TAIL OR DOES THE TAIL WAG THE DOG?

Hmmm...Well, from the perspective of an ordinary, uninspired human observer it definitely is a certain thing that the dog wags the tail because the tail is the part that's moving. But suppose that the tail is actually trying to wag the dog but ends up moving itself back and forth because it's mass is much less than the dog's mass?? You know... like when you're sitting on a chair and trying to push a heavy table forward but end up sliding yourself backwards with the chair because the table is too bulky for you to move. Yes, I always test this theory in every restaurant I happen to be dining in. The table would usually never budge, that is except for the one in McDonald's. It actually toppled over and I got the "ARE YOU SATISFIED NOW??" look from the waitress. oops. But the fact is that I am NOT satisfied and I'm still very distressed about the dog-tail issue and I desperately need to get this nightmare out of my head. I don't want to think about it. And I don't care if one day a tail would stand straight up and the dog starts wagging left and right. I don't care if people start saying:"Oh! How Cuuuute!! It wagged its DOG at me!!!" I DON'T CARE A FEATHER!!!!

***siiiiigh. Another bad day.***
    Bellydanser: You should watch the movie "Wag the Dog" with Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro. Oldie but Goodie. -
    another jim: You and your dog need to get out more. Just stay away from McDonald's... -
    Word Weaver: But, Jim, whenever I suggest THAT to him he gives me such a droopy face and keeps whining loudly till I'm quite convinced that it would be better for all to just stay at home and settle for some T.V. show.

    *takes a single glance at Melinda's comment and heads directly to Youtube as Peanuts jumps cheerfully onto sofa*
