Traffic Report this morning on ABC radio.

It started with this is a serious traffic report.

Please look out for Kangaroo on the 4 level of the long term carpark at Melbourne Airport. The animal is stressed.

Update on the Kangaroo in the airport:

Upon further inspection of the wild and stressed out animal; it was discovered to be a middle aged women in a drunken state screaming where's my ticket to Chicago.

This is Farmwife reporting. Devin back to you in the studio.
 
:rof: :rof: :rof: Very good!!! :lol:

MLP - how's your son? Hope the strep doesn't cause any complications! :ghug:

Crohnsinct - my husband couldn't wear the progressives! They constantly made him nauseated... he's chose the switcharoo! :) I've worn contacts for distance for years and have recently been noticing I sometimes reading glasses. Just something to ask your dr. - one suggestion from my dr had is to wear one contact for distance, one for close-up. He said 'some' (only approx. 30%) people can do this but, for these 30%, their brains adjust to the differences between their two eyes. He offered to give me some sample lenses to try for a few weeks. Haven't tried as the need for reading is still only in dark restaurants, etc. but something I'll, at least, try when needed.


Just wanted to add a little blanket apology :blush: Sorry I feel like I've been neglecting some of your posts:(... unfortunately, I've been preoccupied with Stephen and things have been a bit busy so, sometimes, I've only had a little bit of time to jump in and out! Am trying to keep up with everyone but just haven't had time to always post but am always thinking of all you guys!! :ghug:

:ylol::ylol: Very funny!"

A question for all you mom's with teenagers - what can I do about bad acne? Poor Andrew is taking after me and his back is covered with bad spots. I went onto the pill to help my skin at 15, but can't do that for him, :lol2:.
Any advice on how to get rid of them or at least get them under control?
 
Tesscorm;518842. - one suggestion from my dr had is to wear one contact for distance said:
I do this actually I only wear one. I've always been pretty much blind in one eye but not too bad in the other so about a year or so ago when I noticed my arms were not quite long enough nor could I get those pill bottles close enough to my face and the Dr. suggested trying to wear just one. Works for my wacky brain at least so far. :shifty:

Sascot, C's acne was fairly bad on his face and back then the pred exacerbated it. We went to a Derm, and she gave us some topical antibiotic cream and Diffren Gel(px acne cream) for his face but since C couldn't take a systemic antibiotic she sent us to an esthetician. This lady knew her stuff, she had 23 years experience and she for face wash she had us to mix up Cetaphill face wash and plain corn meal about 1/2 to 1/2, you just want it more creamy than pasty, for face(and it has been the bomb). For his back, she had us purchase a back brush(not too stiff or too soft) and mix a clean spray bottle with 1/2 water and 1/2 witch hazel. C has absolutely no more acne on his back, none and he has been doing this for 2.5 months. His face looks awesome too, it is a huge improvement and really smooth. He only uses his prescription stuff for his face 3 times a week now. No one can believe the difference, but she has been doing glycolic peels on his face so that has played a huge role. His back, though, has cleared up entirely with the water and witch hazel spray. He sprays it on in the shower, lets it sit for a min. or so then scrubs it off with the back brush. He wouldn't take his shirt off alot during mid summer or go to swimming parties because it was so bad but for the last month he has been going to all of his friends houses for swimming parties. Hope this helps, I know how it can really bother them even if they aren't vocal about it.
 
Yeah OK Sascot...you went on the pill when you were 15 for "acne" and you didn't eat any of those brownies....and you people blame Tess and I for being the bad influences...
 
So yesterday in health class O found out that our state legalized medical marijuana and that Crohns in on the list. Silver linings???
 
Ok I am on my way to Connecticut ASAP! Seriously my doctor talked to me about medical marijauna for my illness ( severe fibromyalgia and a nerve disorder called RSD) but unfortunately it is not legal here yet. I would tell your daughter what I told mine it that it is a medication like any other and to be used according to the directions when really necessary.
 
Yes Crohnsinct - I am completely innocent of any wrongdoing - ever!
Thanks Clash - I haven't had time to look for pure witchhazel, but I bought some acne wipes with witchhazel in them from the local supermarket.

Ya now it takes a community to make a family.:yfrown:

crohnsinct wasn't the only one laughing.:shifty-t:

Lets not forget Catharine for telling us the news report.:thumleft:

Or what about Tesscorm thinking it was funny in general.:lol2:

Or how about my award winning reporting I did.:cool:

I'm just saying when you favor one, you hurt the others.:thumbdown:


Like the pic of Grace?:shifty-t: It was taking at the beginning of a HUGE corn maze. If I had taken a pic of after we were done you would have seen Grace pouting and dragging herself out pleading for us to pick her up and my son still scared their were bears around.:yfaint:

:rosette2:
 
I am serious! That child is always laughing behind her hand...like she is laughing at us. You probably told her you were taking her picture for your Crohns Crazies and just the thought of us makes her laugh. She is soooo cute! Is her hair getting long?

And wow...jealous much...just cuz I get Dusty's arse all to myself?
 
Adorable pic of Grace!

...and Crohnsinct... the silver lining is O can make our brownies for our trip to the farm :ylol: Seriously, though...I got nothing!
 
OMG! You are one green eyed monster Farmwife! My arse is big enough for all of you, no need for fighting and fretting! :lol:

Ah crohnsinct...I know all about the secret of the 'hand'! Pretty poor excuse it was though...just sayin'...:rof:

Grace surely is a cutie patootie! :wub:

Hey DustyKat it's either the hand or no pic at all.:tongue:

That's right crohnsinct doesn't know I have access to Dusty's secrete life, through Dusty secrete thread.:ghug:

See....now I feel special!:hug:
 
Whaaaat?! Secret of the hand? Dusty's secret thread? I hate my life! It is getting in the way of my forum obsession. Must get back to the forum hours a day.....tomorrow....
 
Hi my friends all thing medical

This is not a crohn's question.

I have a script for doxycycline hydrochloride 100mg for myself, I haven't had the script filled an yet as I can't getting my head around taking this medication for 6 months.

Its to treat a patch of rosacea.
 
I don't know anything about doxycycline hydrochloride but what is it that you're worried about specifically? Ie, is it the dosage or length of time?? Is it possible that you can discontinue early if the rosacea clears?

:hug: I know ever since Stephen's been diagnosed and I've become so much more aware of the side effects of meds, I'm more sensitive and concerned about ALL medications, but whether I'm right to worry or whether it's sometimes unnecessary worry, I just don't know... :ghug:
 
I think now worry about all meds also. The skin specialist said if I start the medication I need to do the full course which is 4-6 months. She said my important decision is whether to start the medicine at all but nothing else will clear the rosacea.
 
Catherine - I suppose it depends on how much you want to get rid of the rosacea. If it annoyed you enough to check in with the doctor, then you must be wanting rid of it, if so, then it's probably best to take the meds. I am assuming it's an antibiotic? If it is then you can take precautions like having it with food so it doesn't irritate your stomach too much and take a probiotic every day as well to ward off any thrush.
 
I agree with Sascot Catherine. :hug: (Doxycycline is an antibiotic Sascot)

I tend to assess medication on what it will do for me rather than how it will affect me. What I mean by that is if it is going to improve my quality of life (QOL) then I will take it. This may be something as simple as taking a cough medicine...if the cough I have is only a middling thing then I won't take it but if the cough keeps me awake half the night and I know the medicine will stop it then I will knock you over in the race to get to it! :lol: I use this philosophy with all meds, no matter how simple or complex.

Dusty. xxx
 
Hmmm, I think I'll apply the same QOL logic to merlot or special brownies!!! :lol: Crohnsinct, care to join me in adding some TLC to our QOL? :luigi:
 
:lol:! Oh nice one Tess! Turn my quaint idea into some debauched excuse to get pissed and high!

Dusty.

OMG! I just had a thought! Just posted this on my blog thread!...

...Now YA'LL PACK YOUR BAGS AND HEAD TO MY TOWN!!!...we'll have a ball!

Like I said in your thread Tess...upstairs for thinking but it's downstairs for dancing! Woot, woot!

Dusty. :poop:
 
I prefer to spending my time downstairs!! :banana: BUT... is a Turkey Run anything like cow tipping?!?! :eek: Crohnsinct and I will definitely be needing to improve our QOLs! :yfaint:
 
We have a turkey trot also Dusty.:soledance:
It involves a riffle and patience.:ybiggrin:
Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same with out it.:thumleft:
 
Ours just involves plenty of entertainment and loads of booze!

Right up Tess's and crohnsinct's path! :ybiggrin: I can just hear crohnsinct now, in her best chugging voice, turkey, turkey, turkey...:beerchug:

Dusty. :cool:
 
Well, the Turkey Run's sounding awfully fun! :headbang: although, before I commit, I do want clarification on what 'riffle' means... loads of booze and some oh-so-patient riffling could be fun too! :lol:
 
No riffle as in bang, bang, your dead.:shifty-t:
:thumright:Nothing like a Golden roasted Turkey on the table for the holidays.:thumleft:

Ahhh, I get that at home... hubby just went hunting last week! When I told him killing a bunch of innocent birds just wasn't impressing me :boring:, he tried to tell me how macho he is and should these 'survivor' shows ever become reality, survival instinct will kick in and all the women will want HIM as HE will still be able to put food on the table! :lol: ....I'm thinking of going vegan!:ytongue:
 
Seems to me that your imagination is, perhaps, working overtime! :lol:

Here I'm thinking that you can get lost in the maze or fall deep into a hay pile and you need a big strong strapping guy to help you out!

YOU seem to have a different story to tell! :eek:
 
:ybiggrin: Have to agree Farmwife, it's your mind that seems to leap to DIRTY way quicker than any of us ;)
 
OMGosh! You girls! LMAO!

Yes, when I read Turkey my mind immediately went to the booze!!!

Tess:going vegan! :rof::rof:

farmwife: the gig is up...they are now seeing you for the perv we all know you are!!!!

Off to my Christian concert tonight and wondering if concessions will still be serving beer?

Rushing home tomorrow to do a trunk or treat. So excited about the idea for decorating our car. Will post a pic tomorrow!
 
Have fun at your concert... maybe you can 'sneak' in a couple of beers in your purse!! Just in case.. :eek:

:lol:

Have never heard of a trunk and treat! Will be watching for your pictures! :D
 
Crohnsinct, you are not alone. My sis in law in I had the discussion last year about whether or not it would be wrong to stop and have a brew on the way to WinterJam! :beerchug:

I did a Trunk or Treat last year and decorated the car as Cat in the Hat! Ryan and I were Thing 1 and Thing 2!

We have a Turkey Trot also. Sadly, it does not involve either crohnsincts or farmwifes idea of "Turkey". Ours is a 5K held the Saturday after Thanksgiving! You get to go run off all the other "Turkey" :eek2:

There was a race here with that name not sure if it was a 5K or 10 K - the Santa Shuffle and Resolution Run are coming up here.
 
Hi All,

I know it looked like I was working my way back but now this hurricane has derailed me again. We are under madatory evacuation by the water and school is closed for three days. I don't know what access if any I will have to a computer etc....or alcohol for that matter (don't suppose they have any at the shelter huh and for the record during Christian concerts they do NOT serve beer and wine even though it is on the concession menu).

The concert on Friday was totally amazing. O and her friends had a blast. We got home in time for trunk or treat and our car won all sorts of prizes. Will try to post a pic before leaving home.

O swam her first swim meet healthy and bested three out of three times and a couple by a lot...two of her times qualified her for other meets so we are in a very happy place right now.

Hope everyone else in the storms path stays safe and sound. See ya in a few days.
 
Crohnsinct, you tell whoever is in charge of the evacuation that you have to report into your committee on an regular basis because we will all load up and invade the area on a search and rescue mission that would scare the Frankenstorm itself! Please stay safe!
 
Crohnsinct the pic was awesome! How did you guys ever come up with that idea! I bet y'all blew away the competition! Oh and way to go O! Woohoo on the meet!
 
Yeah yeah yeah...invade! Forget Chicago and bring the booze to the shelter!

I came up with that idea and actually didn't know we were going to participate until Friday morning! I told you CT is the Martha Stewart capital of the world!

Oh yeah and lost in the picture is the fact that we had "Rubber Ducky you're the one" and Splish Splash I was takin a bath" playing and I had a jar of water and splashed the kids as they came up for their candy. It was a hoot and a half. So while the rest of CT was preparing for a state of emergency I was yucking it up in my car tub!
 
and before you even ask Tess or Farmwife yes there are clothes on underneath and no the ballons are not a part of my act!!!!!!
 
Hmmm, so you say... :ywow: But, is 'Rubber Ducky, you're the one' part of your act??? Cuz, I could definitely see how that could worked in :ytongue:

I've been running around most of this weekend but was truly so happy to read your update... loved the car!! :) And loved to hear of O's swim successes!!! Woohoo!!!!!! :medal1: Amazing news!


Take care of yourself over the next few days! :ghug: Let us know how you're doing when you have a chance!!!

And, anyone else in the storms way - also, please TAKE CARE!!! :ghug:
 
So getting on the computer for 15 minutes at a time and rather than email my family do my banking etc I am checking in with you guys!

I brought my laptop figuring I could just use my battery power if electric went out etc only to find out the high schools don't have wifi. Apparently the kids would be surfing the web on their laptops or iphones etc when they should be taking notes. Who would do something like that? THat is like if you were at work and constantly checking the forum...that's just wrong! :shifty-t:
 
:rof: And just who are you implying??? :eek:

How are things there? Looks terrible on the newscasts! :eek: Hope you guys are all good!!! Is Gabby with you?
 
haha...Well C has wifi at his school and I am all but certain that is what he uses it for because he never knows what is on the actual Edline site that gives, notes, lectures, test times...ughhh!

It looks rough that way, I have a friend that lives in Brooklyn and they evacuated to CT. Ummm...I'm a little worried since you guys evacuated too!!!
 
Stay safe crohnsinct!!:hug:
My Aunt lives in upstate N.Y. and she was told to leave.
Which shocked us because she's no where near the coast and high elevation.
I guess for them it will be the wind guest.

BTW the wind has picked up big time here in Michigan. Were use to November gales but they never change wind direction ever 10 minutes. :eek:STRANGE!!!:yrolleyes:
 
Happy Halloween everyone!

I hope everyone out east weathered the storm alright. Got my fingers crossed that you are all ok.

Interesting date that you have here, Dusty. Looking at the content and the post's place at the end of the thread, I'd say that you posted it this morning.
Dontknow.gif


I can't get this to quote properly so have just copied and pasted.
 
Hi Everyone! We are all safe. Roads closed. Power out everywhere. No hot water, shelf stable food only (haha clean diet totaly out the window), no heat..no cell service...but we are all fine and the clean up begins today. I am at a local Y for showers, charging and internet access. Daughter at University is fine as well although they have cancelled classes until next Monday and want us to pick her up. I guess college kids with nothing to do for four days spells trouble.

They say we may get power by tuesday and it is going down to 22 degrees this weekend (note to self..more wine for warmth)!!!

Although we are fine the town is a disaster. Halloween has been moved to next week (assuming the roads will be safe and power is restored). Many people have lost their homes and I hear it is even worse in some areas of NJ and NY.

Thanks for all your prayer and concern. I also pray for everyone else.

Well, leaving Y now and will talk to you all Tuesday.
 
Crohnsinct, I have been thinking so much of you and your family. Glad to hear you all are safe. So sad the devastation this storm has caused. My thoughts and prayers will remain with your family and those affected by Sandy. We have missed you!!!
 
So glad to hear you and your family are safe! Good luck with all that clean up. Must say wine is a good idea - I always feel warmer after a glass or two!

OMFG David! I know you are jealous of me but this is taking things too far!

This is just freaky...posted this on the 31/10/12...well obviously due the reference to Halloween...the date has changed, the time has changed, my avatar is gone...I can't report it (just comes up as my first post)...and even going advanced is a tad haywire!

What spell did you put on it David! Isn't trick or treating enough for you?! :rof:
 
Phew! Thank goodness all is well with you crohnsinct...:hug:

The damage and destruction we are seeing on the news reports is just heartbreaking. :( What a sad and difficult time for so many, especially so for those that have lost loved ones.

Be safe and take care, :heart:
Dusty. xxx
 
Unreal storm we got wind damage up here.
We were on the outskirts of it. Power out to many.
But NOTHING like you guys.

So happy your safe and sound crohnsint.
What would I do with out my buddy to pick on?:yfaint:
Still you'll be gone for a while so I'll have to find temporary
replacement. :shifty-t:
Tesscorm and Dusty here I come!:eek::ylol:
 
Glad you are safe crohnsinct. Hope power comes on soon, you are correct in the meantime there is wine (Isn't that why you have a bota bag of it for skiing, or is that just me?)
 
Weird things are happening on this thread. I am the one who posted the Halloween post but it was attributed to Dusty. Weird. I wouldn't mind being Dusty, I'd have so much more knowledge...:ybiggrin:

Really glad you are ok Crohnsinct!
 
Awww, thanks Twiggy. :kiss:

BUT OMFG! Just schedule me now :ybatty:, I'm a plagiarist! I didn't even read the body of the post, :redface:, I was too intent on bagging David! :rof:

Put away that Mountain Dew, we're pulling out the Tequila! :awe: And forget Crohnsinct's poles and balloons (lame!), Dusty's taking us to where the 'roots' are!!! :allright: (And, do what you may BUT you're NOT chopping them off this time! :awe:)
 
Thx for the update crohnsinct. Hope u are all back safe and sound in your warm house with wifi soon. Looking forward to hearing about things getting better out there. The northeast has had more than their share of late October nasty storms recently.
Take care
 
Aww, those are so cute! :D Amazing what our pets will tolerate from our kids!

Years ago, our poor dog, a doberman (they are mean ONLY in the movies!!), was turned into a 'horse' every Saturday with Em and her friend. The girls would come home from riding lessons and would then teach the dog to trot and jump poles in a circuit they would set up! :lol: And then Stephen would play 'hockey' with the dog by try to get the ball past the dog to score - as long as there were two balls (one for her mouth) and the other she would try to catch with her paws, Stephen said it was like trying to 'deke' a player! :lol:

I drew the line when Em wanted to paint her toenails pink!
 
So glad to hear you are okay crohnsinct. It looks just devastating up there. Hubby's cousin lives in NJ and has no power either. Brings back a lot of memories from the tornado here last year. If there is anything we can send your way (I know wine is always an option :biggrin:), let us know.
 
So in honor of our friend crohnsinct survival of the storm lets play.......

:thumleft:What do we look like?:thumleft:
Now we know what crohnsinct looks like. Well at least in the bath tub.:sign0085: For those who have no idea what I'm talking about...yes it is that bad.:ylol:

So I'll be the first to start and anyone can add to my description of the person and or change it.


Clash,
I picture her with black long hair. Tall and on the skinnish ( new word) side.
She's quiet but mess with her kids and she'll tare you apart!!!!
 
Haha I just posted how you rated in getting my description right then saw where you wanted everyone to add to it so, I deleted but for some it might be a little easier because my first profile pic included me.

But ummm....Farmwife, why you picking on me first why not Tesscorm, Sascot or Dusty!!
 
Come now your a talker? Who knew? Yes I have the best come backs after the fact. I hate that!!!!


Tesscorm

She's a bit harder to figure.:cool:
She's intelligent to a point.:ylol:
She's feisty until she's ....not.:shifty-t:
Her appearance I think is put together but not matchy (new word).:thumleft:
I think she's of normal stature with a bob hair cut.
Her weight is..........normal.:cool2:
 
Ooopsie you read my last post before I deleted it but yep I'm talker, neurotic, slightly unhinged and severely clumsy... well now that we have summed me up glad you are moving on to Tesscorm...

I see Tesscorm as stylishly put together professional of above average height and slight build.
 
:nonono:No,Farmwife that is the actual visual I get of Tesscorm!!

Unfortunately, ever since all you guys had that Chicago getaway adventure fantasy I went from seeing Dusty as a real person to a cartoon Kangaroo that wears flip flops:facepalm:
 
:rof::rof: You guys are too funny. Need all the laughs I can get :thumleft:. It's like talking to someone on the phone - they never look like you imagine. Still can't get the hang of posting pictures so you're safe from pics of me
 
What a fun game, I'm loving the descriptions, guess I'm out since all you have to do is look a few posts earlier and there I am.
Sorry Farmwife but I get the same visual as Clash for Tesscorm.

Trust me that was no fantasy!:yfrown: More like nightmare.:yfaint:
 
So the town emergency communication came through this morning. They are happy to report that less than 1% of our town is without power not including the beach area...um half our town is the beach area. WTH kind of statistical reporting is that?
But I like it...I am a size 2 not including my ass!
 
I have never posted a pic of me!!! :lol: Crohnsinct, I hate to disappoint you and Clash but Farmwife was much closer in her description! :eek:

Intelligent... to a point... then I hit a wall and turn into one of those electric toys that just keep bumping into the same wall! :ybatty: Then, again, that could be the 'feisty' side thinking - 'will you friggin' move already, I'm coming through!?!?!?

Put together but not matchy - absolutely! How the heck is anything going to match when half my clothes don't fit me!?!?

Weight... normal - right again! ...for a European with no willpower!

So, in essence, short, dumpy, mismatched with curly, crazy hair! :eek:

Now my thoughts... Crohnsinct faked her picture! There's no way a European who eats cupcakes all day and drinks wine all night can be that thin! :ymad: ....Oops, forgot about the pole-dancing! :lol: That'll burn a few calories!

Clash - I'm with Farmwife's description - she may not be hanging out car windows anymore but she's still a rebel and walks with a swagger! :D

Sascot - LIAR!! :lol: - You posted a pic of Andrew and Amy so you most definitely know how to post pictures! Now you OWE us one!!!

And, dear Farmwife who I once pictured as a petite sweet blonde cutie! Hah!! Now I know better... Blonde amazon (ok, michigan) goddess is more like it! One of those annoyingly 'nice' people who do it all - manages the farm, makes princess dresses for her princess and goes cow-tipping for some exercise! Biggest heart around BUT cross her (or hers) and she'll leave you quivering in a puddle of Mountain Dew!

I've seen Dusty, Twiggy and Jacquie so I've got to stay quiet there!

:D
 
So no one else now sees Dusty as a cartoon kangaroo in a pair of flip flops(one of my fav profile pics of hers)....laid back but plucky with an affinity for roots...well I guess that solidifies it then I am slightly unhinged.

Now tell me again wth am I doing in this gay bar...is the wine better there because that might be a determining factor!
 
What's that I hear rapping on my window? SLEET AND HAIL!!!!! Oh and look there is their friend snow. And I got out this morning and see Christmas decorations up around the town stores and such. How could it be snowing and why are there all these Christmas decorations up when it isn't even Halloween yet? Why do I feel like I am in the movie Ground Hogs Day?
 
:lol: Our stores have had Christmas decorations up for a while now (some since mid Oct)! :eek: LOVE Christmas but... there's a time and a place! :D One of our drug store chains started playing Carols in the store the day after Halloween, they received so many complaints, they've stopped the carolling! :lol:

But... poor you... i hate rain, sleet or snow! Like you all down there don't have enough to deal with! I was born in Portugal; was destined for a much warmer climate! Not this sh...t! Hate it!

Well, we have raccoons in our attic! What fun! We've been doing some renos and part of the work left some access to our attic from the outside... The raccoons have set up house and home! :D Just glad it's not skunks! Our dog's been sprayed twice by then this year! :eek:

True story...it was on the news here that a woman in Michigan was offering two rooms in her house for refugees from the hurricane. I told all my friends not to go...probably farmwife looking for some extra farm hands!
Click to expand...

OMG!!! :rof: :rof:


A couple of years ago, we had a friggin' forest full of guests in our chimney! We don't use this fireplace so, I guess a case of 'use it or lose it'! I was cleaning up the room and the dog started barking at the fireplace, couldn't figure out what was freaking her out and all of a sudden, a bird flew out. Husband came in and somehow caught it. Okay, all is done... few minutes later, same thing! All in, three birds came out of the chimney! Called someone in to find and close the opening, well... he found a cemetery of dead animals in there - birds, squirrels, etc. :eek: And, then, I imagine because he 'disturbed' it, the smell came! OOOOOMMMMMGGGG!!! You have no idea how bad it smelled! (Have no clue why it never smelled before??) The room has a cathedral ceiling (two floors high), so makes for a large room to air out and I 'think' the stench rose to the top and stayed there! We had windows open, fans going, 24/7 and it still took WEEKS (4, 5, 6 weeks!) for the stench to leave! Had to clear out the 'fabrics' that could hold the smell and were thinking we were going to have to repaint the room. It finally cleared but took a really long time! Thank God the room had a door to it so we could close it off from the rest of the house!

Considering we live in the city (suburbs), we often seem to have the pleasures of nature first hand! We actually had a huge turkey walk across our backyard last year! Poor dog was totally freaked out again! :lol:

So no one else now sees Dusty as a cartoon kangaroo in a pair of flip flops(one of my fav profile pics of hers)....laid back but plucky with an affinity for roots...well I guess that solidifies it then I am slightly unhinged.

Now tell me again wth am I doing in this gay bar...is the wine better there because that might be a determining factor!

I'm sure it is. As well as the dancing and nobody to bother you so you can enjoy your wine :ylol:

And, dear Farmwife who I once pictured as a petite sweet Blondie cutie! Hah!! Now I know better... Blonde amazon (ok, michigan) goddess is more like it! One of those annoyingly 'nice' people who do it all - manages the farm, makes princess dresses for her princess and goes cow-tipping for some exercise! Biggest heart around BUT cross her (or hers) and she'll leave you quivering in a puddle of Mountain Dew!



:D

Women want to be me and men wish their women were me!:thumleft:
 
LMAO!!!

Ok why isn't anyone else at the gay bar with me??? I mean I do have better wine and apparently more dancing...with less interuption so I can throw down all my cool dance moves...what's at yall's bar?? Wait a sec...Wait a sec...does the other bar have a pole??? Is that why Crohnsinct is refusing to come find me?
 
I think you're on your own at the gay bar! :lol: All those well built, good looking, well dressed men with great dance moves and all unattainable! What a tease! :facepalm:

I think I'm going to hang with Crohnsinct and all those firemen and rescue workers needing some TLC! :eek:utahere:
