I'm lost, is the post two up a mussel up close? I've seen a mussel up close, and that, Senator, is no mussel! edited to say "Al's post, above"

That's a big goldfish

[I never know how much to believe of what Al says]

I believe in Al

I'm not a Senator - more fun being a page.

Don't know about that - they've been victimized in the past.

this thread is just weird . . .

Weird, though, is where all our friends are

Or wired!

Only the best

Could we turn the page on the Senator?

I'm amazed that sidewalks in Menasha have speed limits.

I still want an explanation for the kind of long john you eat.

We have laws here. Long john - what? I'll wait for the 'show us your long bloomers' thread.

You guys aren't doing your reading. This one made me laugh pretty hard.

I'm sorry, Al, that is TOO WEIRD. I'm sorry; I do have my limits. (Somewhere around here, hmmm, now, where did I put those limits?)

x, C

That's tame.

Limits are too limiting

Al - as to your mega-guppie.....you should consider using my mother's technique....whenever I would drag home a shark from my river exploits, she would bury it and plant things over it........she had the best gardens around!!!

Amy or Candyce.....please tell me (with very basic steps....LOL) how I can do those symbols.....I'm so challenged on the extras!!

Louise:

If you have Microsoft Word, then open up a new page.
Go to: Insert on the toolbar.
In the drop down menu choose: Symbol
From the various Symbols offered ... (I choose Miscellaneous Dingbats) copy the symbol you wish to put onto the page and then paste it there.

Then, when I want to use a certain Symbol, all I have to do is copy and paste it into the text of my post here.

There are ways to do it using 'Alt' and the numerical pad on the right of your keyboard, but I use a laptop, and there is no numerical pad on the right.

So here's a few ...

Feel free to copy and paste these, if you like

Where i come from - and i didn't know till today that it wasn't universal - a long john is a bar shaped, unfilled, untwisted donut, usually frosted.

and a funny quote from a MO law enforcement site, on a thread about cops and donuts:

Never heard of 'em.

okay, okay, i get it! people here don't call them that.
geez. i just wanted to prove that it isn't just me. (and i thought the raccoon story was pretty cute.)

Yes, it was very cute.
My hubby was in a bakery one morning and the lady in front of him wanted to know what a bagel was??? Is this anyone out there who doesn't know what a bagel is??

there was this great bit on Project Runway when Heidi Klum said: The dolls were popular - they were selling like bagels!
Everyone sort of paused, and finally someone said, You mean selling like hotcakes?

OK, maybe you had to see it.

Too funny!

I could watch Heidi talk about bagels, hotcakes or anything.

I betcha you could! I'm still amazed she's married to Seal.

Amy, that explains a lot.

Flower, have you ever looked at the cover of Seal's first CD. Whoa! Stopped me in my tracks plus a beautiful voice. Heidi got lucky.

☺Candyce.......thanks! I couldn't figure out how to paste it, but now I've finally gotten it! ♥

Hate to change the subject from whatever you're talking about but I've been playing in the poison ivy again!! I was cleaning out a wooded area on the other side of one of my gardens the other day and all of a sudden I looked around and I was standing in the middle of poison ivy. I'll never learn!! Today I put on plastic gloves got some garbage bags and attacked it!! Why I'm putting it on this thread I don't know?? Maybe because of what I'm going to say if the Tecnu didn't wash all of the oil off. It might sound something like this - #*(%@+=*&^:"+*^~@`%!!! Got that off my chest!! I will not stop until all of the poison ivy on my property has been destroyed!! Eleanor

I strongly recommend spraying it Eleanor. Brush-B-Gone works great. Why take a chance?

Also - this type of topic is perfect for Water Cooler!!

I wanted to pull the runners out (or at least I think I wanted to). I need to do some spraying on some I couldn't get and Brush-Be-Gone is next. Eleanor

Spray it on the runners and they're history too.

Awesome - I didn't realize it would kill the runners also!! Thanks!! Eleanor
p.s. - didn't "what's - his - name" get into poison ivy at Camp Granada?

We have masses of poison ivy at the edge of the woods out back. It grows through everything. Is this a good time of year to try the Brush B Gone stuff? DH went out 3 or 4 times this summer to pull and dig some of it out, but it just comes right back. It keeps getting closer, like some horror movie monster...

Reminds me of another song - poison ivy comes a creeping all around!! I remember bits and pieces of songs but never the whole song or even what the title is. Eleanor

I remember that song too .... but not any more of it than you already mentioned. I can hum the darned tune, though.

Yes Amy - very good time because it's so colorful and easy to spot.

Looked it up on-line!!

Poison Ivy Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Rolling Stones

(Lieber/Stoller)


She comes on like a rose
And everybody knows
She'll get you in dutch
You can look but you'd better not touch

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night when you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

She's pretty as a daisy
But look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
If you let her get under your skin

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night when you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy
and chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll cool you but whooping cough'll fool you
but poison ivy's gonna make you itch

You're gonna need an ocean
of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
the minute you start to mess around

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night when you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a creeping all around

Measles make you bumpy and mumps'll make you lumpy
and chicken pox'll make you jump and twitch
A common cold'll cool you and whooping cough'll fool you
but poison ivy's gonna make you itch

You're gonna need an ocean
of calamine lotion
You'll be scratching like a hound
the minute you start to mess around

Poison ivy, poison ivy
Well late at night when you're sleeping
Poison ivy comes a creeping all around
