Kitty claws are almost as bad. I used to have a cat who thought I was a climby toy. I still have ugly scars. My cow-orkers thought my boyfriend was hurting me! We can’t have kitties now 'cause my hubby is 'lergic to 'em. (I hate it when he gets hives and quits breathing. Stressful you know)🙂

Still no rain here, Flawduh and Up North are gettin’ it all!☹

**Mika** , loved the movie synopsis! I wish I could find Bollywood movies here. I don’t know if Blockbuster has them, they don’t like me. They said we returned a movie late, I knew we didn’t and refused to pay the fine. Rebellious is what I am. Woo-hoo livin’ on the edge.

Sneezy

P.S. Thank for all the kind thoughts on our week of suckitude.

I think **Mika’s** just been whooshed.

You need to put your mind in the gutter to understand the references, dearie.

On the contrary.

I am female, therefore I have no monkey and cannot spank it. Nor can I flog the dolphin.

I have nothing at all to share or add or anything. I must be in boring mode this week. Maybe it’s a chocolate deficit.

My BIL just phoned to say his wife has just gone into labour. I’m goingto be an aunt ! It’s so exciting! I’m an only, and Mr. Lissar only has one sib, so until now there’s been a serious lack of babies in the family.

Prayers and good thoughts would be appreciated, and I’ll keep you updated on name, sex, etcetera.

I’ve always thought that monkey was a term for the female naughty bits. Although I have heard of shocking a monkey, I never heard of spanking one.

And I have no idea how many posts I have. I do know that mosdt of them have been to these threads, though.

I’ve always heard monkey was a term for penis! Thus, spanking the monkey. And I’ve never heard of shocking the monkey.

Or in other words, opposite of everything Sean said.

Speaking of which, did you guys hear about the bear that ate a monkey?

“Shock the Monkey” is a Phil Collins/Genesis song - but it could have been a euphamism for “spank”

Did I kill the MMP? Anyway, I have a cute short story before I leave.

The SO and I went to the grocery store Friday night as we always do. As I was getting into the car, I quickly ran over to mine, grabbed an umbrella, and climbed in. Please note I had never used this umbrella before. He looked at me and said, “Why didn’t you get me a an umbrella, too?”  
And I said, “Well, am I your mother? But we can share this one.”  
He said, “I need one to keep.”  
I said, “Well, you can keep this one, too. Someone left it at one of the Walks a year ago and never claimed it.”  
He said, “It looks too cute for me. It’s got dolphins.”  
I said, “they’re just dolphins. Deal with it.”

So we get to the store, and I jump out and pull out the umbrella and open it. And he about falls over laughing. “You wanted me to carry _that_?”

I look up, and the umbrella is dome-shaped. It has the cutest little dolphins, swimming in circles. It has a tassel. It’s see-through. It’s about as girly as you can get, as a matter of fact.

I looked at him and said, “Suits you.” And then ran for the store. 😃

If it’s see thru, can you see the dolphin’s naughty bits?

The plasterers are gone! I have been swabbing down the first floor, to little or no effect.

Heard from cabinet makers–they will be delivered 5/22 between 12 and 6. Floor arrives at HD on 5/19. It’s moving, folks!

thank goodness.  
Off to get sons’ haircuts. Still haven’t done the bath, but need to, so I can wash some dishes.

there’s a sentence I never thought I’d say…

I love the I love Egg Cartoon. But then I’m pretty out there.

How about Cows With Guns? Just google it.

And I’m sorry but the next update will have to be tomorrow!

Hello all, I’m finally here!

**Mika,** thanks for the song; it’s very cute.

My mother’s surgery went very well, and she’s staying the night at the hospital. She was very sick after the surgery, so we just let her know we were there and told her things went well. Thanks for keeping an eye on the house **MBG.** However, you forgot to wash the boat and now the hubby has to do it. 😉

After the surgery, the hubby and I dashed home so we could drop him off, and then I went to renew my drivers license. You’d think that just _once,_ I could get a decent driver’s license picture, but nooooooooo, this one looks like a damn mug shot too.

It was **FCM** who sold the boat. We just bought our last year, in the spring of 2005. We’re still playing with it quite a bit, so it’ll be quite some time, I think, before we decide to sell it.

Tonight’s dinner menu will consist of ribeyes steaks, baked taters, and maybe some sauteed asparagus. I love asparagus!

I guess I better get a load of laundry started. I didn’t get a chance to wash any yesterday since we went boating and then spent until very late gabbing with the neighbors.

I’ve heard the term “spank the monkey” quite often. It definitely means a guy, uh…pleasuring himself.

The weather is beautiful today. Too bad I had to spend my day off at the hospital and then running errands.

On a movie review note, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, watch _Hostel._ That was one of the most stupid and gross movies I"ve seen in years. During the entire movie, **Mr. Taters** and I kept commenting to each other about how awful the movie was, but we watched the whole thing. I guess we’re just gluttons for punishment.

Really really liked the movie summary, **Mika**. This is my kind of story. Don’t know why, but the ones with secret identities get me every time. (I also love the egg cartoon. Again, not sure why…)

Hi **Rebo**!

Sounds like you’ve got a good doc, **TWO**.

Ooooh, a baby, yay! Prayers and good thoughts headed in the general direction of all **Lisslars**.

OK…how many newbies haven’t sent chocolate to **FCM**? Can’t you see she’s languishing, **LANGUISHING** I sez, from lack of chocolate???

I am happy not to live near alligators and will not comment on monkeys. But I think a rabbit might have nibbled my delphiniums. And no, there is no double entendre there. Really.

Tired. Off to beddy bye. Oooh…gotta find some sheets. (I’m in mid-laundry-marathon.) Fortunately I have something like 14 sets of sheets. Surely I’ll be able to find a set I don’t mind sleeping on tonight.
