**MOOOOOOM** you were in the _shudder_ presence _shudder_ of fart blossoms. I say that’s still enough to cause hiccups. Fart blossoms are, after all, the cause of all unpleasantness.
**Sean** (we need to work on a nickname here) a dove eatin’ turkey is just disturbin’!

I certainly thought so. DH didn’t think it was any more odd than a human eating beef or pork. (shrug)
Since I can’t think of a short version of my username (which is my real first name) I much like, we may have to think of something based on stuff I post. 🙂

I am sorry, Swampy. I had no idea that you were so culturally challenged.

I am culturally challenged **flytrap**. Once I had a complete meltdown because I got confused and almost ate my salad with a shrimp fork. Oh the horror!:eek:

That’s all it takes, to stand up and take responsibility.
I’m proud of you, Swampy.
Not that I’d ever have you over for dinner…

Or we could streatch it like this - Sean Connery was James Bond. Seanette is the feminine form of Sean. That would make you **Bond Girl**! 😃
Or not… It all depends how you’d look painted gold.

**flytrap** I imagine you set a table like [this](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Formal_Place_Setting.jpg). Of course this is just an example of an informal table setting for breakfast at Chez flytrap. I’m sure you get a lot fancier at dinner. 😃

Maybe you should name her “Velociraptor”
Up, and caffeinated. Dogs woke me up at 0430. and 0530. and 0700. And the neighbors were dropping anvils on the floor at 0600.:mad:
**swampy** , I have no shrimp fork. ☹
**giggy** , ouch!

I’m 43, short, a B cup, and rather overly padded in other body areas such as stomach and thighs. A bikini and gold paint would NOT be a good look on me. 🙂

OK, so you’re a \*retired \*Bond Girl! 😛
**flytrap** , don’t listen to \*\*swampy \*\*- shrimp don’t use forks! Life in the sea doesn’t require dining utensils.
I’s hongree!! Why isn’t it lunch time yet??

There is a difference in what is required, and what is in good taste.

Happy Friday!
I’m back from Virginia Beach all happy and rested.
Looks like y’all have been busy busy while I was gone so I have a lot of reading and catching up to do.
How is Wanda doing?

**Net**? **Nettles**?
Found some stuff for Nana from this summer that I hadn’t typed up. Unfortunately some of it contradicts what I’ve written this month, but it’s better so I’ll make it work somehow.
It’s going to be a busy weekend. Birthday celebration (and cake!) at my parents’ house Sunday and probably laundry too. My boyfriend and his primary girlfriend get the keys to their new place Saturday, so I’ll get to see the place then and they’ll take me out for a birthday lunch (I’m thinking the taco place so I can have _lengua_.)
I was very tempted to play hooky today, except I only had 34.5 hours this week. I may leave early though.

'Tis on the extreme right nestled in the soup spoon. Some may refer to it as a cocktail fork as it may be used for the consumption of both shrimp and crab cocktail.
**doggio** here’s you a [shrimp fork](http://www.silverqueen.com/sterling-silver-flatware/pics2006/cocktail.jpg).
We shall nickname **Seanette** **Nettie**. I has spoken!
Welcome back **Sari**!
Last of the chikin 'n dumplin’s for **N.O.L.**

What in the world is happening over there? It looks like the start of an all our war. Please keep us updated and if you need anything let us know.
Would you ever consider evacuating?

Chinese carryout for lunch. Not bad, and cheap enough, so there’s that.
\*\*FCD \*\*wants to bail early today - we’ll see how that goes.
