Washte stops humming Raven’s Child, unburies her face from the scruff of the doggie in her lap and stops stroking the tummy of the other…
Who you calling a slacker??
Gives Tygr a fresh box of aloe vera kleenex - can’t have ya lookin’ like Rudolph - and hands her a critter of choice (they’re good listeners ya know), and hands her a spoon to dig into her stew.
Helps CJ out of the hot tub and find a comfy place on a beanbag near the fire, wraps her in a fuzzy blankie and a warm lavandar aromatherapy neck wrap.
Oh no! The movie is at the antelope stampede.Tyger can you pass me a few of those klenex? sniff That little voice begging Mufasa to wake up just gets me all wattered up.
Ok. Who needs refills? I’m only going to the kitchen once so if you want anything you better let me know right now, 'cause I ain’t going back again. listens for bombardment
Come have a seat Tyger, let teh Adult in your head take a break and relax as only a Child can. You know the Disney movie only helps right? I knew you couldn’t resist. Much Better.
I’ll come with you, Tel. We’ve got a lot of empty dishes and cups laying around, and I’ll throw them in the dishwasher for Bodypoet. I’m going to start a kettle for Earl Grey tea…who else wants some?
oooooooooooo a party!!! I need this! hubby just left for the desert the other day… not sure when he’ll be home… the kdis are sick… I need a break! I did leave the house today to take out the trash!
I made some cuddle bunnies, very soft and cuddly… who wants one? where’s my pillow… I know I brought it with me! karol… is there still room for me? do you think your kids can handle my sick ones? they are pretty quiet now… not much energy left in them and almost time for some nyquil! heheheh
Oh, plenny room here. We never turn down anyone at a bonafide, honest-to-goodness comfort party. Especially if they brought…{rummages in evilmathlady’s bag}…ooooh! German Chocolate!
Yep, I think we can fit you right in here. Ivylass, Todd, tygr, DeVena, Washte, everyone: Steph, or evilmthldy. Steph, everyone.
[chorus of welcoming hellos from all corners]
hello everyone! yes, I will bring over all the german chocolate I can carry! walmart has lots of different chocolates… some really gooooood stufff! I’ll stop off on my way over the hot cocoa is really good too… I could bring over some bratwurst too? schnizel? bier?
can I bring my kitties too? the old guy needs his shots, no one home to do that if I’m gone… and babykitty goes nuts when he’s left alone.
my sister is giving me her bunny, she’s a sweetie… can she come too?
Sure thing, Ivylass. There. Three coats and those piggies look like shiny little M&Ms! Hey, anybody giving facials? I’ll wash all the pots and pans if somebody trades a facial.
sniffsniff* I just came from the Fred Rogers thread.sniffsniff*
It’s so silly to be so broke up about a kids show host. I can’t help but remember taking naps with LittleTel (who’s now 17) while watching his show in the afternoon. Man, talk about you bonding moments sniffsniff* I watched the old documentry PBS ran, and even caught the end of the Nightline rerun lastnight. I am Bummed. Truly, I say Mr. Rodgers did the work of the Holy Spirits.sniffsniff*
Hands TelcontarStorm a kilo of Toblerone and a Terry’s chocolate orange, a cuppa, and the purdy bunny. Also offers a temple and shoulder rub to calm down.
Checks on CJ to make sure her neck is doing better and gives her a cuppa as well.
evilmthldy, welcome to the Board! I’ve just got back from the library with a bunch of Terry Pratchett books (I really did in real life), so we’ve got 3 whole weeks to enjoy them. There’s also a fresh batch of real, not microwave popcorn. On the other hand, it’s official, I do have whiplash or, as the doc put it, a neck which went “boi-oi-oi-oi-oing!” So I could do with some comfort. No massages, alack! It’s still tender and swollen. Hmmm. Wonder if I could get my body in a hot tub with an ice pack around my neck . . . .
By the way, I told my therapist about this thread, and I think she’s finally starting to understand what I see in this place.
:Raises a glass to the finest group of people on the planet:
CJ
Here, Bodypoet, here’s an armful of our good red oak firewood. I ran out to sweety’s and filled the pickup truck. I’ll stack the rest right here out side the kitchen door.
DeVena, if you’re making fried chicken strips, I got Granny’s Comeback Sauce right here for dippin’, sistah. Man I love this !!!
<tiptoes around snoozing bodies, sprinkling love drops for sleep >
Nite, nite, hush sweet Dopers all , good nite to you ! May your dreams be sweet as honey, pillows fluffed all soft as clouds. Good nite, good nite! compadres … softly humming lullaby as I turn out lites to sleep by candle-lite …
many thanks, Karol, we needed this! much love, Cricket
Heavens to Besty, do I smell Ghiradelli brownies? Bring 'em on!
I’ll just sit over here while you all rest, and have a little munch or three. Honest, I’ll leave some for you. [sub]Maybe.[/sub]
I also picked up a bunch of pistachios, some nice salty chips, and two jumbo boxes of those cheddary cracker things that I can never remember the name of. You know, the ones that turn your teeth orange.
And hey, while you’re all here, you can help me bring in this amazing old green primitive table I got at auction last night! Is it just the coolest thing EVER? Look, the drawer is handmade, dovetail joints and all. {sighs in appreciation}
Hmmm…everyone’s snoozing away. Awww, aren’t they so sweet? I’m not going to bother them, then, I’ll just wait until they start waking up.
{Karol goes off in search of wild makeup, shaving cream, and stray bras to stick in the freezer…}[sub]hehehehehe…[/sub]
where’s my pillow… I know I brought it with me! karol… is there still room for me? do you think your kids can handle my sick ones? they are pretty quiet now… not much energy left in them
