<no chance no chance no chance no chance no chance no chance no chance>



<how quiet is Joe(has yet to levitate)Nation right now!

Sounds like fun! And I love a challenge! Put me down for a box (or 5!)

Dag, I'm with ya on the googling thing. I'm the queen of googling (among other things ) around here! Have you ever played "Guess the Google"? Don't know if the game is still up, but it was one of my insomnia 'go-to' games for a while.

Hey, Joe, Iz-!
dev(let the games begin)j

Let me see if I have this right:
I am going to be in some room somewhere with several extremely hot sets of pursed lips attached to bodies which are lying on the floor and I am supposed to thinking about levitating orbs of sugar with my lung power in order to win a t-shirt.

Let me tell you what I am going to do to anyone who is puckered up and on the floor.... .

Joe(excuse me. I have to go do a hundred and three thousand push-ups.)Nation

You're creating all kinds of explicit pictures in our brains.

you are going to make us do push-ups, joe? not fair.

I am SO practicing already. Truth is I had 2+ glasses of wine (I guess that would mean 3) and they are marzipan balls, and they so don't float, but are delicious nonetheless.
Two things are disturbing my peace - my little only nephew is in a hospital as of today (henoch schonlein purpura, some sort of a self-limited auto-immune disease, not fun. Poor kid has ankles and wrists swollen, fever, and we don't know what consequences there might be. it's a waiting game and i'm AGAIN not there.) The second is my housemate and his lady (I like them both a lot) are making love below me (err, that is one floor below me) and that makes me feel a bit lonely. Especially since the crush of my Dutch life might not be able to make a biking trip tomorrow and I was soooo giddy about the prospect of seeing him again for most of the day....

....aaaand i am talking too much, that be the wine speaking.
Dag(move right along, folks, nothing to see here)maraka.

Yikes about your nephew. That sounds scary.

Does "self-limited" mean something temporary? I hope so.

yes. it's a nice way of putting "there's really no cure for it...usually it just passes on its own". Scary thing is that for many kids, the first bout can take 3 or so months...a looooong time, and that in at least 1/3 of cases there is recurrence. Poor kid. We're all just praying that it will be a mild case.

On a lighter note...a word of advice: do NOT cut your own hair on 3 glasses of wine. I just did, and it's looking short. And we'll see what it looks like in the morning. Eh, it's just hair, it will grow back.

These are the good thoughts heading out from me to the kiddo. ... Let this pass.
Let this pass.
Let this pass and not even become a faint memory....... .... .... ..

Note: It has always been a kind of rule that scissors cannot be within reach as long as there is a bottle of wine within reach.

I'm sure your hair will grow back. You can tell people you were attacked by an anti-hair group. Make up your own name or we can all help you. Suggestions everyone.

Is there anything more annoying than a couple making whoopie nearby? One floor down or behind the nearest wall, their anguished noises lend any listener nothing. I always recommend that you go and knock on the door and ask if you can be next. Say Please.

I am going to go get several boxes of Malted Milk Balls. They are considerably heavier than Maltesers, therefore by the time I lay down on Izzie's living room floor I shall be able to boost a Malteser to a height of nine inches for longer than a minute.

Joe(is there a Nobel Prize available?)Nation

Aw, geez, poor S! Wishing for a fast and positive outcome. He'll be ok. Yep. He will be just fine.

I think using the Malted Milk Balls is a good strategy, somewhat like taking batting practice with a donut. On the bat, not the training table, folks.

Dag, hope your nephew is better soon, and that your hair resumes its earlier length.

Remember, every time you blow on a Maltese Milk Ball (or whatever it's called), an angel gets its wings. A zaftig angel, but still an angel. With wings. Very large wings.
