Scattelogical ramblings and desultory humor - User's Guide

Just bored and "cruisin' the DG net"!! Do you really want "poo" jokes...or is the "scattelogical" just an attention getter???!!! (Or am I thinking of a word close to the one I'm thinking of!! haha)

Even me knows that!

Actually, "I" sounded right but I was was thinking "You" was the subject and "I/me" was the object and that people over -use the "I". Of course you are right.

No Connie, You are right. We just ran out of fecal humor about 3 threads ago.;^)

good grief!

Aw...too bad. And I was wracking my brain to offer my best! :-)

M - don't you mean "to what are you referring?" -C

Dave - My old shoes sell like hotcakes downtown.

Al...you really should save your best shoes for your daughters and granddaughters.
I hope you wore the appropriate socks with those !

Al - trying to imagine the gown you wore with those,,,, and having no luck. x, C

I did that on purpose so you could get your grammar fix, Carrie :-)

Such information we impart to one another! It's nice to know we have fashion-istas and great repairpersons on this list as well as fantastic gardeners!!

Guess what? I just figured out a system where I get things marked and get to read through the DG threads.

A. I read, grade, and record the grade of one assignment, then I read and respond to one thread.

Repeat A.

Stop for coffee and maybe a chocolate - or gingerbread

Repeat A etc.

Gee, took me long enough to figure this out.

Michaela, you think I didn't know that? (sniggers politely, no, rudely at her friend)
xxx, Carrie

You rat! Do you realize how much more enjoyable marking would have been if I had figured this out a year ago? Instead, I mark for what seems like hours, then I decide to take "a break" - only to spend hours on DG.

Much better this way!

no, no, no. I was sniggering because you left a minute flaw so I could get my grammar fix. I think your delayed gratification system is a great idea and the only way to get anything onerous done!

x, Carrie

oh . . . sorry . . . not enough sleep - or too much chocolate. :-)

You still have chocolate left from Christmas? We ate all ours by that week!
oink, oink, Carrie

I am still eating chocolate - man, you can't believe how much DH bought! But he never buys good chocolate . . . sigh . .

I'd really like to eat the back door of your gingerbread house right now, Michaela. Does it still exist or did you need it to get through the marking?

Well, a huge gingerbread christmas tree stil exists - some of the base, and the huge Chinese arch (well DD designed it this year) plus various bits of rubble.

May I have one piece of rubble, please? It sort of suits my personality! LOL

Betty or Barney?

Bam Bam.

When my sisters and I would play Flintstones, I was always Wilma. LOL

And don't ask me how we would play Flintstones......you had to be there!

I would love to share my gingerbread house with my good friends! Dh is emailing a photo and I will post it in a minute.

Will the photo show my rubble?? If so, show me which piece I can have so I can start salivating.

We don't need any more saliva here...first it was Victor spitting on the screen while speaking Greek, now the women are doing it !

Spitting image?

Here is the before picture for my good friends :-)

And here is the "after" picture of the rubble. :-) It tastes terrific. The gingerbread is actually soft.

Very nice but where's the garden??

Yes. A spitting image of Sal E. Vate

It's under the snow. :-)

Oh gingerbread like cake not like cookies? Yummy..... (sniffle) Carrie

Now I REALLY want my rubble.........! Very nice house, Michaela!! They take a lot of work, huh? I'd love to make one, but I would be afraid I would eat the whole thing. I don't eat sugar often because I can't stop if you get me started. That's why I don't bake much.....Molly and I fight over licking the bowl, and she gives me a look that would kill with her big, brown eyes when I even get a finger near the mixing bowl. She doesn't need the sugar either, so I don't bake much.

Well, no - it's not a cake - it is cookie. But store-bought gingerbread houses are like sawdust. This gingerbread cookie is soft - with really hard icing to hold it together and softer icing to decorate.

craving rubble with softer icing to decorate.....

Well, good friend, if I could magically transport it to you, I would. :-)

Yummy yummmy - I'm the same way with baking, Louise. Lucky, almost, that my daughter got dxd with Celiac disease and cannot eat ANYTHING with wheat - Christmas used to be a big hypoglycemic attack tine for me with all the cookies i would bake and eat or mix and eat as they were baking. And of course the cook has to eat the burned ones, and the broken ones, etc. x, C

Thank you, Michaela.....better that I just enjoy a virtual rubble anyway....but you DO know how to make rubble look very classy!! LOL
