\*Contemplating little green frog pills \* Are they little pills shaped like green frogs? Pills for little green frogs? Green pills made of little frogs? _Joins **Rocky** In **6ā€™s** home state_ **Mo** , my weekend was nice, spent in the company of good friends.

Maybe I should reconsider poofing **Wyatt** \*\* I thought the lying was _because_ of the growth of a certain non nose appendage. I didnā€™t realize they _needed_ to lie to get to that state! Oh and you want to talk disgusting? I just had a baby and not the conventional way! We like to romanticize childbirth but it is gross. Anyway Parallax got the tour of my innards again. ā€œLook a fallopian tube.ā€ ā€œThis is an ovary.ā€ They showed him everything I had in there! He watched them separate out and tie and snip said tubes. There will be no more babies here! Oh and the recovery part ā€¦ may I say that nurses do not get enough pay or respect. Normal old Spaghettioā€™s people! No wieners or meatballs or anything else. Mock my recipe and Iā€™ll spike the frog pills with colace! With all you guys planning on moving to my home state Iā€™m guessing property values are going to plummet! I hope **Wyatt** brings a pooper scooper and someone to pick up the body parts so _those_ arenā€™t littering the sidewalks too! Zombified dog boys; what is this world coming to?! ---

Mashed potatoes come in a non powdered form? Youā€™re talking to a girl who grew up on powdered milk as well. If it didnā€™t come powdered in a box my mother didnā€™t know how to make it! My parents got a microwave when I was a teenager and ā€˜newā€™ microwave products were all the rage. NEVER microwave biscuits even if the package insists you must. I almost gave my brother a concussion with one when we discovered no one could bite them and decided they made great frisbees. I have nightmares thinking of the many ways my mom butchered food growing up. Sheā€™s beyond that now as her stove doesnā€™t work right and I think the microwave died years ago so sheā€™s on an all take out diet. (Not that Iā€™d eat ANYTHING that came out of her kitchen anyway as that place would make the roaches run in fear) ---

> [@](#): > > Originally queried by Wyatt > Great hints from bachelor ShotgunHeloise!!! > uhā€¦ how come put them in dry? Huh? Always thought 'leaving them to soak" was the point? So much to learn! Well you see once upon a time I had a room mate, and we were playing kitchen chicken. Thatā€™s where you just let everything pile up until someone canā€™t stand it any more and does the dishes, etc. But this time I had him. I went out and bought paper plates, plastic bowls, glasses and silverware (no they were real spoons, forks, and knives no sporks). I washed one pan and one skillet and kept them in my room. Eventually I had to wash them in the bathroom sink ā€˜cause you couldnā€™t reach the faucet in the kitchen any more:) He however just kept using the dishes and piling them in the sink. Filing them with water to ā€œsoakā€ as the common wisdom goes. Imagine cheese dip made of velveta and chili microwaved. Leave about half an inch in the bottom of the bowl. Fill with water. Age for THREE WEEKS. Eventually the kitchen smelled so bad it HAD to be cleaned up. When he confronted me with this I said ā€œHey I havenā€™t left a dish anywhere in the kitchen but the garbage can since the last time I cleaned it all up. Itā€™s ALL YOURā€™Sā€ He couldnā€™t believe it until I showed him my stash of plastic ware, and my clean skillet and pot. SO if you just let the stuff dry it may be harder to get off, but it wonā€™t make the whole house reek if you leave it sit for a few weeks. Having said that hereā€™s a real bachelor dished hint. Cook everything on the grill šŸ™‚ **Vanilla** Getting frogs to take pills is easy, gluing them to the flies is the hard part. Oh you meant DRIED frogs, well you have to water them first, or their tongue wonā€™t stick to the fly in the first place šŸ™‚ ---

Yeah, SGZ, I can imagine that would be awful. Burning is the worst thing I can think of to have happen pain wiseā€¦ I was being mostly jokingā€¦ Iā€™m 3 weeks post surgery and about 90% recovered. Itā€™s mostly how we think of birth as such a beautiful experience that I was poking fun at. Babies are miracles but I really wish the stork brought them! ---

**SGZ** , youā€™re reminding me of the days I cleaned an apartment for some batchelors as a job in college. _shudder_ We wonā€™t even talk about how long I was there the first week trying to find the flooring in the kitchen ( 5x7 area of floor too clean took **5** buckets of water!) and I still get sick if I think about their bathroom too much. šŸ˜› ---

**Tanookie** I know what you mean. The only ā€œmiracle of birthā€ I have witnessed is kittens and puppies, but itā€™s a pretty messy buisness. **Simple Dreamer** Yeah that was a long time ago. Iā€™m not sure I could play kitchen chicken any more. ---
