Uh I’m not sure how you would play naked monopoly… I’m willing to play regular old monopoly though with anyone who wants to come visit…

My dog would love someone new to sniff and the munchkin takes any and all opportunities to show off for company. Anyone out there got little kids? She needs a friend!

I still can’t wrap my brain around 3 inch nipples… That’s just gross.

**Tanookie** , you’re munchkin is about the same age as my middle boy. He’ll be 3 in Nov. 🙂  
Right now I’m just aching for a good night’s sleep. The littlest guy had another rough night with his sore throat and ear infection… So I’m a walking zombie today.

Is everyone over on the east coast doing ok today? Got your seatbelts buckled and ready for a rough ride?

We really do need to get together **tanookie** , with **lorene** , too.

I agree about the three inch nipples, but somehow I have this bizarre desire to see those balloon animals.

I know how badly having one sick kid is… and I fear when there are two of them pass stuff back and forth…

But 3 little ones with ear infections. I feel for you **Simple Dreamer**

Munchkin hasn’t had an ear infection but she has had pneumonia and a sinus infection (not at the same time)

Whee, **Salem** , a BosDope Mommies Club 🙂

Normally they’re not all sick at once. Normally one will be sick, then as he’s getting better someone else will come down with something. I swear last fall/winter I got out of the house only a handful of times that were not trips to the dr or pharmacy. 😛

So, **Rocky** , what kind of cake do you want? Birthday boy’s choice you know. 🙂

**SimpleDreamer** , how old are your other kids?

What I find amazing is that as soon as school starts,within days, one of the girls gets sick and then of course it gets passed to the little guy. We’ve got a cold going from nose to nose right now, but thankfully nothing more serious.  
I hope your little ones feel better soon and that you can get some rest.

BosDope Mommies. I like it, **tanookie**. Are we the bosses or the dopes? I always forget. 😛

**Salem** I have a 6 yr old (started kindergarten this year), the middle one will be 3 in Nov, and the littlest guy is 17 mos. And they’re all super cute and sweet, I’ll email you a pic with me and the boys if you wanna see them. 😃

I’d love to see them! All I have online is pics of the kids. None of me. The world is a better place for it, too.

My kids are 15, 10 and 2 1/2. Guess which one was a big, huge surprise? 😃  
I wouldn’t give him up for anything, but he’s certainly altered some of my plans. Well, at least I’ll have someone taller than me around to reach high places when I’m too old to jump up on the counters.

Do I get kiddie pics? Most of our life is out there on the web so not much left for me to email about…

We’re only the dopes if we get too comfortable assuming we’re the bosses!

:: picks up email inbox. shakes vigorously. WOW! Jackpot! Full of hot babes and cool dudes! ::

Thanks for all the photos, gang! It’s good to put faces with the names and personalities. And thanks for the birthday wishes! Mom and pop called to wish me well this morning. Folks at work thought it was tomorrow! 😃 Heh!

Thanks, **tanookie**! Best birthday song I’ve heard today. And, don’t worry, all the grues are on the other side of the woods today. Haven’t seen one here yet. 😉

Heh heh … _cake_ … 😉  
Oh, oops … sorry. **Wyatt** ’s letting me keep my brain in the gutter with his temporarily while I sort out other storage options.

Hmm … one of those burger cakes sounds good, **Dreamer**. Or maybe something soaked in rum. Lots of rum. Yeah … mmmmmm …

Anyone wanna let me eat cake off them? Before we get all oiled up for naked Twister, that is. If we have rum, we can do body shots too!

Well, gotta run for now. Y’all don’t get too wild without me, alright? 😉

Nope. I’m just one of the few folks in the south who realizes that the word has picked up an … uhh … alternative meaning. Cake isn’t just for birthdays anymore. 😉 Did you speak of it elsewhere in those alternative terms?

Morning, all. **rocky** , happy birthday. I won’t sing, you wouldn’t want to hear it. trust me.

**tanookie** , how’s your back doing? hubby rubbing it for you?

Hard to reconcile y’all getting hit by a major storm…it’s 70 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, and perfect I’m-blowing-off-work-today weather here.

Yes, **Rocky** , in a thread somewhere about _code words_. _still blushing_ Is that supposed to be a Northern thing? I’m in the midwest, btw.

I don’t know how much we’ll get up here in the Boston area. **Tanookie** ’s closer to the coast than I am so I hope it’s not worse for her and **parallax**. (for any of the BosDopers closer to the coast, too.) It’s beautiful here right now and as you said, **Maureen** , it’s hard to believe, even from this coast, what’s coming this way.

I’ve got pictures! I’m so happy! Well, I’m still waiting on one, well at least one, I mean.

Yep. That’s what she said, anyway. As I said, the photos were useless. But, yeah, those would be deadly, if they were capable of getting hard. I sorta doubt they are/were.

I don’t think it’s your _brain_ that’s supposed to get wrapped around them.

Thanks. You see them as blue, huh? I guess it depends on the monitor. They look green on mine. IRL, they can be either.

Sure. I’ll send it when I get home. Will you send me yours, too? I know I’ve seen them, but that was a long time ago.
