there are times when i just
need my very favorite comfort
food of all times "french fries"
with brown gravy and ketchup
yep, thats what does it for me!
the most fattening of all foods
just makes me feel wonderful
it warms my heart and my arteries
once a week, usually on saturdays
is when i allow for this tasty treat
and when they arrive at my table
there is nothing anyone can do to
stop me, i dive right in!
comfort foods are needed at certain
times, as for me it gives me that
extra boost, so well needed at
weeks end, and when every last
"french fry" is gone from my dish
i accomplished what i set out to do
the feeling: satisfying
the taste: delish
the after: bloated
comfort foods, they just make
me smile!
:O)

Hehe :o) Good Morning Owls!
Hhh Carol fries n gravy is a big comfort food for me too.. but they have to be Swiss Chalet with chalet sauce.
Another is tomato soup with grilled cheese sammich.mmmm.. always know when I'm not feelin well, I crave it.
Great blog Carol!
LOVEY - Congrats on first!!!
Off to read the blog!! BRB :0~
Oh sure I go and be good and answer my emails on myspace and you two jokers just run over and take 1st and 3rd!
CAROL - Great topic!!
I think I agree with LOVEY - tomato soup and grilled cheese - great on a cold day!! Another favorite is Mac N Cheese. Nothing fancy - I like the stuff in the blue box!!!
LYNN D - Congrats on 4th!!!
LMAO Lynn D haha Good Morning again :oP
FROM AREA 51 - for those of you that missed it:

WARNING: You may need your Depends for this one!! My face still hurts from laughing so much!! :D
February 5, 2008 9:22 AM
Jodi I love mac n cheese too..mmm...
I could eat that everyday.
OMHeavens, I could comment about this topic forever!!!!!!!!!!
Gm Iteach!!!
Happy Tuesday :o)
Oh Man my problem is that any thing really greasy and fattening is comfort food!!
A big sloppy bacon cheese burger with greasy salty french fries is sure to send me into an orgasmic moment, or a plate of really cheesey nacho's or a huge breakfast fry up, with pancakes and eggs and greasy bacon.
Wow now I am drooling like Homer Simpson.
Can't forget dessert!!! This really gets my motor humming. Hot Fudge Sundays with spanish peanuts! Sinful Chocolate cake with extra rich chocolate icing. Cheesecake with chocolate, Eclairs and cream puffs. Oh and don't forget Pecan pie, Blackberry pie. Oh I have to quit or I will go on a food binge today! LOL
I have no self control:(
BIRDEE~~ Wtg on "This Owl Said"!!
Good morning ITEACH - better not let the principal catch you at work!!! :O~ Although, I hear that TINA'S gives spankings.......oh, I mean paddlings!!!
omfg LynnD.. I'm salivating all over my keyboard.
Hi Iteach!!!
I think I owe everyone an etymology this morning.
My true comfort food is Mashed potato's and gravy with extra butter!!!
Congrats on 1st lovey!!!
Want french fries now!!!!
Lovey: LMAO the front of my shirt is wet after posting that!
hehe Ty LynnD
Congrats on WOTD!!
Gm SC!! Happy Tuesday :o)Me too, I'll be phoning my lunch order for hubby tpo pick up.
LMAO Lynn I need a bib
Congrats on 1st lovey!
Good morning to you and jodi and lynn,iteach,scirish!
comfort food- well first I would have to say "special brownies...' lol', but other than that, mashed potatoes and gravy. Actually, gravy on noodles too.
Battin down the hatches Jodi- we are going to get slammed again with that nasty white stuff!
Great morning to you all.
SCIRISH - Good morning!!!
Gm Goldie ty...
Ohhh I forgot about BROWNIES... yes they sure are comfort too.
LYNN D - Not a big pie person. My favorite is spice cake with peanut butter frosting!!!
Good morning GOLDIE!!! Hatches are battened - although I think ITEACH is suppose to get more than we are. Ok......pouting.....no mention of my potato salad?!!? :D
PIE oh my stars....
Graham wafer custard pie..MY FAV!!
Ok this can't be good... sitting here dreamin of all this food....LMAO
Jodi: Are you pregnant??? LOL
Hi Goldie sorry about the snow! But really glad it is not me getting it!
Hi Scrish french fries, french fries, french fries! (A little brain washing) LOL
I heard the same thing Jodi! Ughhhhhhh! I don't want anymore snow.
Mornin all....so whats for breakfast?
it's pouring rain (!) here today...odd for this time of year, but i'll take it! great day for comfort food
aloha kakahiaka blog buds
Damn I fell asleep before 9 and I don't think I even moved in the bed last night....
Comfort foods....depends on what I am comforting. I love me some Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza, but since that is only in Chicago and I am in Honolulu all I can do is dream now...
Off to get ready for work.
Is hoping that Sandie will have one more rock in the yard today.
Amicus: Hoping dad is doing well
Tina: missing you right back. hmmm photobucket has a new meaning now....who knew you we're a closet....corn collector?
LYNN D - I would be a freak of nature if that were the case. I had a emergency hysterectomy the night I had my youngest child.
Jodi, your Potato salad is beyond comfort food.
Who much is iteach supposed to get- snow wise I mean?
Love chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, and pecan pie, and mac & cheese and oh, peach pie and french fries and oh lets face it, I love food! (as long as it is not good for you and has loads of calories)
Good Morning Owls!
I didn't get home from the hospital until late last night so I'm just now catching up on comments from yesterday.
Hugs and a heartfelt Thank You for the thoughts and prayers to:
Lynn D...SacBarb...Tinkatia
Just Lin...Goldie...Zona
Dianne/Denver...Kahonugrl
Nowmercy...Sandie...Birdee
Cpgem...VIG...Tina
My Dad gave us a scare by taking a long time to recover from the anesthesia, but other than that, the surgery went well. He should be feeling much better soon.
Sandie: Sending a prayer that Luc passes the stone so surgery won't be needed. {{Hugs}} for you both.
Entranced: Welcome to the nest! Glad you're here!
BonO: I emailed MySpace last week about the page width/resizing code problem, and I finally received a reply yesterday. All it said was, "We're working on that." I don't know why it's taking so long to fix.
I'll be back to catch up on today's blog and comments after I get home from the hospital.
Have a good day, Owls!
KGIRL - hmmmmmmm......corn collector huh? LMAO!!!
Not enough coffee yet. Who much? What a blonde. HOW much snow.....
jodi: sshhuuusshhhh!!!!
Amicus: so happy Dad is doing well.
Jodi: Ok not pregnant. Just wondering on the spice cake with peanut butter frosting!
Amicus: I am so glad your Dad is doing well!!
hey kgirl and Amicus.
Glad your dad is doing well Amicus.
Sandie, I too hope the poop chute is well oiled and that rock slides on out today.
hey goldie!
i don't wanna go to work today, who wants to go in for me?
Happy Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday or Pancake Day - what ever you little owls call today.
Good Morning Lovey (congrats on being first), Jodi, Lynn D, Scirish, goldie, Iteach and K-Girl.
lesson for today -
etymology - the origin of a word and the historical development of its meaning.
Comfort food - What a pleasure for me. It is something that reminds me of my childhood. To me there is nothing like smoothly mashed potatoes and gravy to make me feeling better or fatter.
Hope everyone had a great night. It is rainy and miserable here. I have a computer meeting tonight so I hope it eases off. Have a great day everyone.
LYNN D - It's a combination that my Grandma came up with years ago. Luv it!!!!
KGIRL - I'm being VHEWY VHEWY QUIET!!! :o~
GOLDIE - Looks like ITEACH is in for 9-12 inches.
Hi Tink!
kgirl, I am already at work (can't you tell?) so can't sub for you.
Pretty sure that 9-12 inches would kill me....
Hey Kgirl I would go in for you but I think the flight would make you or me very late! LOL
Tinka: another mashed potato girl!!
Jodi: Send me the receipe for the frosting and I will try it.
Jodi and Goldie: No wonder Mr. Iteach gets such a work out!! LOL Oh I see you meant snow:(
ATTENTION KMART SHOPPERS -
I was talking about SNOW!!!
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming!! :D
ROFLMAO JODI!!!!
Amicus - My sweet friend. How did I miss you in today's comments? I thought I read everyone's but I missed yours. I am so sorry. Good morning. I hope today finds your dad is good spirits and not in pain. The first few days after surgery can be so difficult. I hope you got a good night's sleep. Thank you for taking the time to write me when you got home. I haven't checked yet to see if you got my reply. I will keep my prayers concentrated on your daddy until he is well enough to come home.
Sandie - I hope I go to messages and find Luc has "done the job". Come on Luc you can do it. Do it for mommy and Remy.

ok jodi you we're "talking" about snow....but we all know where your mind was....
Good Morning Owls or Owlettes I like Owlettes (who gave us that name?? its cute) Everything is finally ok here back to normal Thank God. I have a lot to do today, but I will try to come here and post more often on my breaks. Tinkatia, in Michigan its Paczki Day (poonchkee) its just an overstuffed glazed Jelly Donut, but you can fill them with Raspberry, Blueberry, Lemon, Prune, Apple, Strawberry, Custard, I think I covered them all. But it has always been a Polish Tradition in my family, but for the past 20 years EVERYONE eats them in Michigan, well at least the Detroit Metro Area. My husband went out last night to the Polish Bakery and bought 3 Dozen, he took some to work and the kids took some to school for Lunch.
Sandie: I wanted to tell you what a beautiful blog you wrote the other day, It brought me to tears, very heart warming. I also hope Luc will be ok and he passes the rock.
Hi Lovey, Goldie, Jodi, Tina, Cpgem8, Lynn D, BonO, EJB, Entranced, iteach, Amicus oh and any one else I missed I'm sorry But Hello to everyone.
I'm sorry about all the snow your getting in Wisconsin, We didn't get as much as you and I'm tired of it already, you blow it and then 2 days later its gone, like, okay, just a waste of my time. Its about 43 here today, so its almost all melted from Friday. Okay I'm gonna go its 11:00 am here I have to get some laundry started and house straigtened. I will check back later on my breaks.
I missed you guys, I really did.
Love yas
Renee EVE
LYNN D - I emailed you that "recipe". I don't really measure anything - I just throw it together - so I'm guessing the amounts.
Here is the "recipe" for anyone else that is interested:
1 can "white" frosting - I usually use butter cream
I don't know - about 2-3 T peanut butter
and some milk (maybe 1-2 T)(otherwise it gets a bit stiff)!!!
Walla.....peanut butter frosting!!!!
Enjoy!!
Good morning RENEE/EVE!!! I hope everyone is healthy at your house. Welcome back :D :D
Good Morning Renee/Eve glad to hear you are feeling better!

Jodi: ask tina if she is of age to eat corn
night.owls.sb - Good Morning to you. It's the teacher in me that makes me want to get my homework done quickly and get it out of the way. Old habits die hard.
Renee - I am so happy you are able to post again. You have had a rather rough time with illness in your family. Hope that is over for this year. Thanks for the 'heads up' in your letter yesterday. I really appreciated it. I think all is well now.
Paczki Day - That is a new one for me. Even at my age I can learn something new. Happy
Paczki Day to you. They sound delicious.
K-Girl - If you can get me to Hawaii I will do any amount of work you want me to do.
Good morning, Owlettes!
Iteach and Jodi: Goldie disappointed me! But I bet Lynn D could handle it... she has no self-control! LOL!
Carol: I have no idea why, but the combo of broiled lamb chops and Mac and Cheese as a side is an unbeatable comfort meal! Huz and I have that at least once a month!
K-girl: I have to head off to work too! :(
Lovey: Swiss Chalet? OK!!
Good morning owls! I love all the suggestions for comfort food. Love the topic cpgem. I love macaroni and cheese, meat loaf and buttered noodles. Not so much sweets as real food.
Amicus, hoping your dad recuperates quickly and completely.
sandie, has the rock passed?
Good morning CAROL!!! The Giants really pulled it off!! Can't wait til next season - BRING IT ON!!! In the meantime - I'm sworn to watch NASCAR with TINA !!!!
Good morning!
Congratulations Lovey!
Favorite comfort food would have to be garlic mashed potatoes with butter and pepper. OMG even at 8:30 in the morning it sounds mouth-watering!!
I hear Entranced is in the nest, welcome. I'm still a couple days behind on the blog, have not been able to catch up yet.
Thank you again for all the well wishes for Paula, she is doing good so far. She hates when we give her the fluid in the evening, and my huz is almost worse than her. He can't handle her crying and keeps holding onto her because he knows she has to have it.
Sandie I hope your baby passes his rock!
Have a great day everyone! HI MEK!

Hey owls,
Bono: Says Hi!!! She will be back with us when she gets her PMS worked out! Her words really. It stands for Pissy Myspace! She is still having problems.

Amicus So glad Dad got through surgery okay. Let the healing begin! If I knew how to send you a comment, I would. LOL
Sandie Here's hoping Luc drops his rock.
EastBayJ You probably know this but SQ fluids feel really cold under the skin. I used to lay the bag in hot water just until the fluids became warmer. Like the temp you would want in a baby bottle.
Goldie Good job with the inventory. LMAO
Good morning owlettes!!
Holy mother frickin of pearl!! I am starving now!
I don't know if I can make enough food to SHARE right now...I want it ALL!!!
I want peanut butter frosting...by the vat load!
And onion rings! (if you have a Bahama Breeze near you, run dont walk...the BEST rings ever!)
And fries - with or without gravy!
And thick and gooey Mac & cheese!
And chocolate cake!
And potato salad!
Oh my gosh---a Hot Fudgr Sundae with extra fudge!
And pork chops!
And pecan pancakes (yay, Cracker Barrel) with warm Maple Syrup!
And Breakfast sausage - links AND patties.
Did I say I was starving??? LOL
I'm gonna raid my fridge, freezer and pantry!!
See ya all later!
Thanks Carol!
Comfort food: Gravy anytime, especially turkey or chicken gravy.
Extra wide egg noodles with so much butter they are slippery and with plenty of salt and pepper.
Mashed potatoes!
I think it's the texture that adds to the comfort value.
LynnD. Your neighbor has GOATS?
Hi MO & JUST LIN!!!
JUST LIN - You might need a big with those noodles!!!
They sound positively orgasmic :O~
OMFH - JUST LIN - meant to say you'll need a BIB!!!!
OMG...I am SO missing hangin' with my owlies! Thanks, Lynn for the shout-out from me to all my pals. My PMS (Pissy MySpace) issues are hopefully resolved, but I'm afraid to send MS Comments until I know my Norton Security upgrade is all in place. Don't want to spread any 'virus'...so many of you have been unwell long enough!
Amicus ~ So good to hear good news re: dad.
Sandie ~ Hoping your pooper scooper gets a workout today!
Jodi ~ Darn, you have a day to play and I've got too much going on today to enjoy you. That REALLY sucks.
Entranced ~ Have we met? Glad you're here!
Lovey, Tinka ~ Thanks for your help yesterday with my PMS!
Comfort Foods: Did I miss an earlier mention of PB & Js? Mom used to make the best homemade dense & moist white bread...thick slices with Jif, butter & homemade strawberry jam....oh, yeah! And, how can you beat a creamy, garlicky fettuccini alfredo, especially with chicken, red peppers and artichoke hearts!!
Hope to be back later ((((((OWLS)))))

Grandma Moses: Yes my neighbor has goats!!! LOL Cute little Pygmy goats.
Mo: That is Tart to you!!! Heeheee
Lovey: No Swiss Chalet in my neighborhood! Dang it!
I tell you that high fiber cereal just does not do it after reading the comfort foods!
Jodi: I am ready for Tina!! I ain't afeared of her! NO Way!
Holey crap! Look at all the comments already! You've been busy birds! I will have to take on hour out of my morning to read them all! LOL!
Comfort foods. Gee, isn't that all food???
Congrats on 1st today ♥lovey♥!!
Ok...I guess if I'm sick I need KFC mashed potatoes and gravy.
goldie....
"Pretty sure that 9-12 inches would kill me...."
OMFG LMFAO!!!!
I will share my beads... And we don't have to scare goats in the process ...
Lynnd And Lovey...
Jodi-- what have you got on your mind today....9-12 inches....big instead of bib!!!LOL...LOL...
Hi.. Barb_in_wa..
Good morning to you.. well it is afternoon here...
And I think---
Mo-- congrats on 100!!!!
OOOPS... Wrong...
LynnD
Congrats is yours!!!
WooHoo!!!! 100!!!!!!
Good morning Owls! My email was down yesterday, so I missed seeing what the topic was. Glad I made it in time to discuss comfort food!
All this talk about french fries with brown gravy makes me want to travel north to Canada and have some poutine! YUMMY!! In case you don't know, Poutine was described to me as twice fried french fries with brown gravy and cheese curds. OMG, it is heaven in a bowl!! I just LOVE Canada even more because of Poutine!!
Another favorite of mine is meatloaf with mashed potatoes. It has to be together though, so I can smash it all up. I am not one of those people who cannot let their foods touch on the same plate. PULEEZE! I like to introduce ALL of my foods to one another.
Barb~ Today is much better. The "ass" apologized and promises to behave. We'll see how long THAT lasts!! Thanks for being there for me. It was a really rough Monday.
top o the morn'in to you too IBB!
Looks like everyone got hungry and left!
KGIRL - Your owl finally found its way to Wisconsin!! Too freakin' funny :D :D
IBB - I left a little something on your page!!!
**waving frantically**
HI GLYNIS!!!!
Is that the tootsie pop owl? "A one, a two, a three....crunch!" LOL!
Glad to hear your "ass" is behaving!
BARB/WA - Waving to you!!! Having a fun day off - but now I should get some laundry done, and get groceries before our big snowstorm hits. Have a great afternoon!! I'll be back later. ;)
Hi right back at ya jodi!
testing.....do i have an owl?
i do!!!
I am work ... so I will be pooping and out!!!!
You know those pesky customers!!!
I get pissy thoughts sometimes!!!
Jodi----
I am not a bead whore ...because I will share!!!
And Glynis...How many licks!!???
I am work ... so I will be pooping and out!!!!
You know those pesky customers!!!
I get pissy thoughts sometimes!!!
Jodi----
I am not a bead whore ...because I will share!!!
And Glynis...How many licks!!???
I think my comfort food is Whitman's chocolates. I like the coconut and nut ones the best.
It would kill me barb, I'm just saying....
glynnis, I have one kid who won't let the food touch on his plate. My dad always told him it all ends up in the same place anyway, whats the big deal? I for one like to mix and mash.
Jodi- pick me up a couple things at the store would you? By the time I get out of work and can go I would rather do without then face those crazy mofo's who think they won't get shoveled out until sunday. For godsake people - this is WI, we have snow ALL THE TIME. By 5:00 you are going to need a referee and a lot of patience.
ok, congrats to Lynn and Mo. You guys figure out who won, I missed the whole dang march!
ibebold- you will be "pooping" at work? Sounds messy...
IBB- "pooping in and out"??? personally, I'd rather poop in
I meant Popping!!!!
Wow - There is nothing like food to bring out the comments. Every thing sounds so good. As I said before, give me mashed potatoes and gravy any day and I will be happy. When I was a child my mother would fry up hamburger loosely (like you do for tacos) and serve it with the mashed potatoes and gravy. I would mix it all up until it looked like dog food but oh it tasted so good. If I were sick that was what I wanted to eat. It sounds gross but I still like it. I guess it was a little like 'Shepherd's Pie'.
Glynis - Your favourite food when you "smash it all up" would look like mine.
Bon Oregon - Glad your myspace problems are fixed. Mine are as well (touch wood). I think you have coined a new word for PMS.
IBB....
NO POOPING OUT AT WORK!
Hi Grandma Moses!
Tinkkatia
have fun at your MAC meeting tonight.
Amicus
I am glad that your Dad is Ok. My Dad is gearing up for a surgery too..his third one so I know how stressful these things can be.
Ibebold
I had to ask someone who you were. At first I thought yuo were someone's husband but then learned you were mek's sister. :0)
Renee Eve
I hope everyone stays well at your house now. Whew!
Sandie
I hope your dog has passed the stone. I was watching Animal Planet and one dog swallowed the cap off of a cleanser. Another dog swallowed a spongey cat ball. Both of those dogs ended up fine.
Lovey, Goldie, LynnD, EBJ, Wabbear, Carol, and everyone a big warm hello. There are so many names here today. I know I missed some.Sorry! I am kind of rushing. I have a luncheon with my Mom, sister, and my Mom's friend to rush off to.
tinkatia...
hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes used to be one of my fav lunches at school!
Ooops. Tinkatia I was typing too fast and gave you 2 k's!
Dreamatexas - I do the same thing. I type fast and sometimes I will have 3 l's instead of one. I think it's partly the keyboard's fault. That's my story and I am sticking to it.
Barbara - It's nice to know I am not the only one who likes potatoes mixed in with gravy.
When I was a child there was only one day a year that we had pancakes and we had them for dinner on Pancake Day. My childhood is beginning to sound like we lived on the other side of the tracks. Well I guess we were far from rich that's for sure. There were a lot of food rations during the war.
Anyway I still carry on that tradition. I will make pancakes tonight and eat them all by myself. Poor little me. Another pity party.
I will have a little chocolate tonight because Lent begins tomorrow and I always give up candy for Lent. Is there any other owl that gives up something for Lent?
Dreamatexas - I just noticed your new picture. I love it. Which one is supposed to be the owl? Cinnamon or the teddy bear?
Tink-
I love your version of "shepherds pie" although the pancakes sound yummy too! Good grief I'm hungry! The weight watchers pizza just isn't doing it....
scirish - I know. With all this talk of food my lunch of "Slim Fast" doesn't do it either. I try to weigh in early in the month. Do you? Oh I guess you are still going weekly. As soon as you reach your goal, and you will, then you will weigh in monthly. It will be 10 years on maintenance for me soon. I think it was April. Wow, time goes fast.
Lynn D, Ty for answering. I thought you might have been kidding. Cute little pygmy goats!
Tink, I gave up giving up things for Lent one year and have just sort of kept up the tradition.....
There is a place in Brown Deer, WI that is called Peeps. They make the best pecan pancakes and waffles you have ever had. We used to get there about once a year and I think my husband would rather have those then sex (and that is saying a lot!).
Tink adn dreama, your keyboards and mine must be related. Mine screws up all the time. Damn thing just doesnt' follow directions :)
Tink:
When you all come here for the night owl luau, we will have to go to a place called Boots & Kimos and have their famous Macadamia nut pancakes. It's served with a warm vanilla sauce as well that sorta tastes like creme brulee.
And their omelettes are outstanding!
I just ahd Lunch...AND READING ABOUT ALL THIS FOOD I AM HUNGRY AGAIN!!!
I did have french fries!!!
No gravy though!!
Wooo Hooo!!!
150!!!
Tink-Yup, I am supposed to weigh weekly..although I am doing the online version so I don't have to go anywhere. It's very slow going so I'm glad I don't have to weigh in in front of someone. Only 5 lbs the first month, but at least thats something....
Hi K'girl.......yummo. Your post reminded me of Hale Koa's macadamia nut waffles with warm coconut syrup, whipped butter and a side of Portuguese sausage. Heaven on a plate!
My comfort luch today: White jasmine rice with butter, Splenda and cinnamon....followed by a nap and more politics.
b*b
Everywhere I look is food!!!
My god I keep thinking got to get some greasy food! LOL
Kgirl: Those pancakes may have to go on my list! They sound sinful!!!
Hi Bono: Glad to see you made it! Computer Midol Do the trick? LOL
Hi Glynis and BarbWA and Dreama!
I like my foods seperate they can touch but not mix! Sorry! LOL
Okay, not a member of organized religion but I do take the Lent practice and it is just not fair to do this subject the day before lent..sheesh.
noodles, butter, salt, red pepper flakes- a drug
cream of rice with brown syrup and soy milk - a true comfort
SCIRISH - Congrats on 5 lbs!!! What a great start :)
uh..brown syrup..I mean brown sugar melted on top..phew
scirish How do you like it on-line? I need to get serious about some weight loss.
scirish- 5 pounds is a big deal! Congrats on that.
Jodi, did you get my list and pick my stuff at the store? It is starting to snow here.
LUC POOPED THE ROCK!!! At 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Luc let go a stream of mineral-oiled poop along with a large rock! I did a poop dance in the yard!!
I'm so sorry to do that to you all today when we're discussing comfort food (mine is chocolate--oooh, even that isn't quite right--yuck) but I'm just so happy we have avoided the surgery!!
Thank you ALL so much, including K-girl, amicus (so glad your dad is doing well), goldie, tinka, renee (so happy you're feeling better and thanks for the blog compliment), grandma moses, east bay j, ibebold, birdee, just_lin, bon'oregon and dreamatexas for your shout outs for Luc today. A very special thank you to ibebold for showing the love by pooping at work. :)
Luc is back to himself already--ate his normal meal and is looking out the window at squirrels. It's a happy day!!
Sandie Hooray for Luc!!!
Happy dances all around!
I am on my way home ladies and boy is weather getting nasty.
think treadmill

Way to go Luc! Happy poopy dance! Glad the poop chute worked out and no surgery needed.
Thanks for the update Sandie!
drive safe iteach..
Sandie:
Woohoo the pooper oil did the trick. When my pup did that, they advised me to still keep an eye and not too much food the first day. They suggested rice with scrambled egg. Amicus probably has some good advice too!!!
It is a Happy Pooping Day here on the blog!
Sandie - I have never been so happy to talk about poop. Do you think my pep talk to him helped? I hope so. Good for you Luc. Your mommy can take that money she saved and go to Hawaii with us next year. Yeah!!!
Scirish - Wonderful. You are doing great. I never lost that much in one week. Fantastic.
K-Girl - I can't wait to try those special Macadamia pancakes with lots of vanilla sauce. How many sleeps til we go to Hawaii?
goldie - Not too many people give up things for lent. I still like the tradition.
It's storming here. I think my house is going to blow away. I am off to curl up with my little ones and have a warm nap. If you don't hear from me, my house will have landed in Kansas.
Five pounds is awesome, great job!
scirish---5 lbs is great... and what program are you using.. I need to do something very badly!!!!
Sandie--- I am sooooo happy for you and Luc... See I was pooping at for you...lol...lol..
but seriously... great news!!!
and My family always gives up chocolate for lent!!!
i try to keep up the tradition!!!
I checked in just in time to hear about the rock poop! YAY! I am glad he is ok and will be back to nipping at Ippuni's tail in no time! I hope Luc blogs again soon!
I wanna go to Hawaii, too! Maybe Tina can charter a plane for all of us!!
AMICUS, I missed a day and I didn't know about your dad. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery for him. Be sure you are getting enough rest.
SCIRISH - 5 pounds is outstanding. Good job!
LOVEY - Congrats on being 1st!
BIRDEE - {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}
TINKA - I hope you and your house remain grounded!
HI to everyone else today.
Off to eat again! It is FAT TUESDAY afterall!
GOLDIE - Mission accomplished!!! I got makings for tater tot casserole, baked chicken, and for dessert chocolate chip cookie bars!!! And of course I stopped at Kwik Trip for some Nature's Touch milk and .29 bananas!!!
ITEACH - Drive home safely in this crap. It just started to snow here about 45 minutes ago.
SANDIE - Yeah!!! Doing the poopy dance for Luc :D
SANDIE
a great big shout out for Luc's poop. Hip hip horay!
TINKATIA
put on your seat belt. We had 50 mph winds yesterday.The winds blew the cloud coverage out and today our temperature is 86!
JODI - tater tot casserole??? OMG, it sounds so good! I love tater tots!! Can I have seconds??!!
Jodi- good thing, because look at the weather thingy on channel 3000 on the web. It shows up to 18 inches of snow!!
I just called my bro who is a supervisor for Green County Hwy Dept and he says the latest news shows 10-12 but could increase.
Oy... sounds like a snow day for me tomorrow! Not dragging my ass out in that mess.
Tink, as long as you are not one of those people who get cranky about what they give up. My brother-in-law always gives up chocolate (his favorite thing) and he PMS's the whole time!
Dang you guys, how am I suppose to catch up today? I have never been so mad at my hubby working second shift! I read, laugh, write a comment down--and then see the same thing I was going to say, said by others! I need to flip-flop these sleeping habits a little!
JODI: Loved the YouTube video--thanks for the link!
LYNND: BEER battered onion rings--the best! Congrat on 100.
LOVEY: Congrats on first...hmmmm..maybe a NEW picture on your myspace for your prize? hehehe
ENTRANCED: Welcome!
SCIRISH: LOL @ "want french fries now!"
AMICUS: Soooo happy your dad is doing well. I will continue to pray for his full recovery!
BIRDEE: Love ya like crazy!
EBJ: My sister's cat hated the treatments too..but she adapted to them and got better very quickly. I am hoping Paula is another complete success story.
IBB: I am going to earn those beads before hubby goes to work..THIS should be interesting!
JUST_LIN: OMG your noodles and butter description gave me a chill...say it one more time ok? ;)
BON'O: JIF--YES!!! The ONLY peanut butter IMHO! Hope your new security cures the problem, that's what I had to do.
MAUREEN: LOVE your lists and 200!
TINKA: Thank you for being the wonderful person you are.
SANDIE: POOP-POOP---POOP A DOOP DOOP!! HOORAY Luc!!!!!
GOLDIE: LOVED the inventory!
SHOUT OUTS TO: ITEACH, KGIRL, RENEE, BEAR, GRANDMA MOSES, BARB/WA, NOWMERCY..hope I didn't miss anyone...
CPGEM8: Friday will be mail day!
Gotta go earn my beads...
MO - Absolutely!!! Making a double batch - so there's plenty!! Luvin' the tots :D :D
ZONA - LOL @ going to earn your beads!! Let the girls loose!!!
BIRDEE - ((((HUGS)))) to you dear chickenowl :)
Thank you ALL so much! I won't name all of you again because I'm sure you're all pooped out by now. I know I am!
Tinka, LOL at saving my money for Hawaii!
Scirish, congrats on five lbs!
Maureen, thanks for reading my blog--I have such a good time with it! You know Luc will be blogging tonight... :-)
Zona! You're up! Thanks for the poop de doop!
It's hard to imagine the snow you guys are talking about!!! It's 80 here in GA today (like you Dreamatexas!). I do miss the snow!
JODI & IBB: Hubby didn't have any beads, but promises to stop at Party City if he gets a repeat performance!! I think the cold air in the house definately helped. I'm going to go give him one more 'on the account'!!
Way to go ...Zona!!!!
You make me proud!!!
Time to go home...
See ya all later!!!!
IBB: I think I have discovered a new 'remote start'! ;)
Off to eat dinner...I am starved! ;)
