Wow, I got it! woo hoo. Bamalamadingdong dooey.
Shirley - My daughter is the queen of little factoids. She would love this blog. :) I will bbl...have a great day everybody.
Oh, and Carol, I don't know if it is just because I am at work but the "event" thing doesn't work. There is no way to click on it, again, it might be because I can't access it. I will try again at home.
Good Morning Bebbi and congrats on 1st!
Hello Hooters~~ I have been awol for a few days, but happily back. Damn life keeps getting in my way.
Shirley- loved the blog! Neat little facts and things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm.
Hope everyone has a good day. Mine will be traumatic...I have to go to the dentist AGAIN and get my crown put on.
Bit into a cashew last friday- took out a filling and part of the tooth. Just happened to be the molar my bridge hooks to. He did a temp filling and now I get the crown. since the damn bridge didn't fit right, it was cutting my tongue, and of course when your mouth is sore you always stick your damn tongue on the sore spot.
Shirley, Can you explain that one to me???????????
We all know how I feel about the dentist (he does too)so I have valium for this appointment!
5!
good morning Bebbi....(glares at Shirley)
Lovely new layout...all Spring-y!!
I love this type questions!
Shirley...I knew you were excellent at putting together things for the nesters entertainment and enlightenment.....but now it seems you are an "artist" as well...
(moves glasses down on nose....raises eyebrows and stares awaiting response)
(sees Goldie come in and smiles sympathetically)
Good morning to Bebbi (pretty!), Goldie (ouch) and DeeDee, queen of the digital body snatchers.
Neat facts, Shirley... But why DO we nail coffin lids closed?
Bonachichi! shhh!
Why do "some people" nail coffins shut?? heres your answer.....

Morning Glories!
Bebbi you look so beautiful!
Shirley I will answer these earth shattering and ponderable questions later today as I have to jump in the shower and race out of my house this morning.
Waving at every one!
btw...on that video....listen closely to the woman in the background.....she says "Bob Dylans Banana!!"
You nail coffins shut, so the damn bastards that made your life miserable can't escape.
That is the easy one!
Morning Owls.....GOLDIE: I feel your pain on the dentist 1) May - root canal June-root canal didn't work remove end of June-do root canal again July (maybe) need new root canal on other side Dec- root canal not working again as tooth has crack (first root canal) Feb--tooth extracted and temp bridge put in March-temp bridge cracks on cruise but workable March--eating candy and pull cap off another old tooth March-final bridge put in, cap glued back on, yesterday---back to dentist as everything hurts...puts filling in by crown but may need replacing eventually as old; anti-biotics for another tooth that might need root canal and adjust new bridge....and that's my story. This is not all with same dentist as go to specialist for root canals. Can you say that I literally owe thousands to the dentists? This has ben going on since May...I could have had a friggin' baby by now.....so that's my lonnnnnnggggggg story. I have never had all this trouble but they said my teeth are just getting old...makes me feel great.
SHIRLEY: I don't know the answers to the questions but I love the men's underwear one. You always come up with such good blogs...thanks
CAROL: I was trying to rsvp on the Chi link but having some "learning issues" and not able to figure it out.
BEBBI: You are lovely today. I don't think quite as lovely as DEEDEE but a close second :)
J/L: I wanted to tell you that I have been cooking the last two weeks. I have even made out a menu for the nights I am home. I have been finding things from a cookbook. My husband is shocked.
Hope you are finally home now.
Guess I need to get in the shower as I have places to go and as you can see I am up fairly early.
Hope you all have a good day.
Happy Tuesday hooters!
Bebbi, you are looking like your usual "bowl of bubbly" self!
Goldie & Diane are you two related? Tooth wise I mean? lol!
Seriously, sorry for all that dam tooth trouble!
I think I saw your Dentists & Orthodontists in Vegas last week!
Waving at,LynnD,DeeDee,Bonachi~~~~
Good Morning!
SHIRLEY: I love this kind of stuff..it's always interesting to me. My sister used to buy these books.."The Big Book Of Facts" when we were younger..I never get tired of these little snippets of information. I can answer one of your questions..yes, a fat person can skinny dip..just make sure there's a 6 foot fence.. ;)
Fun blog SHIRLEY, thank you!
BEBBI: Congrats on being the most gorgeous today..love your energy!
GOLDIE: I know just what you're going through..I'm getting my crown next week. I don't know how I cracked my tooth though..musta been something reaaallly hard.. ;)
DEEDEE: I'm going to check out the link..warily..lol..I hope nothing jumps out at me! ;)
LYNND: LOL! I always thought it was to keep things out, not in! ;)
DIANNE: Maybe SHIRLEY's question would have been easier to answer if it would have said 'dentists' instead of 'doctors'! I feel so bad for you, still going through all this dental crap..I really hope that there is no more after this.
HI BONACHI!
Back to farming..then checking that link..then cleaning my house..good to see I have my priorities in order! ;)
MARY: Did you see my dentist in Vegas too? He would have had about $600 in chips..and a perfect smile. :D
Zona,LMAO!! I love your priorities!
You DDS was on the craps table. I saw him lay down $1000 and yell "this is from Zona!"
Zona, I think he was going to add to your bill or tell you you need more dental work lol!!
Mary, my dentist would be in Monte Carlo not Vegas (with all my dental work history). I'm sure he flew 1st class too. Oh, and he took the 3 kids I am putting through college with him, and his wife with the perfect smile, body and wardrobe.
Since he just BUILT a brand new dental office on a prime piece of real estate I am sure I had something to do with that funding as well. I can't even begin to list all my procedures over the last 10 years!!!!!!!!! I am seriously disappointed that he didn't name a wing of the new clinic after me.. :(
Dianne (and Zona) I feel your pain. Literally.
Here's a mystery for you. We have a big mission style table in the dining area. It's made of oak, or maple or some kind of heavy wood. I clean the top of it everyday..but only polish the chairs etc once a week. I was just getting done polishing and thinking about all the dinners my family ate at that table..when I realized..there's only 4 chairs. There should be 5..where did the other one go? I've checked every room..no luck. How the heck do you misplace a heavy ass chair like that? What's more..why didn't I notice it was gone before? I mean, no one comes in and steals just one chair..right? Ok..I know this is nothing to call in Columbo about, but I am really intrigued!
MARY: Omg..he told me I might need a root canal!! If I do and it costs me $400 more I'm gonna kick him in the ankle! ;)
GOLDIE: I think we bought the dentist a new computer..and the vet a new floor..ijs.. ;)
I'm going to go look for my chair..bbiab..
Happy Tuesday Owls.
Lots of interesting facts Shirley. My youngest son used to ask the kind of questions you wrote at the end. One I can remember is: Why do they call them apartments when they are all stuck together? I didn't have an answer.
Bebbi, Congrats on being first today.
Goldie and Dianne, It looks like you two are having a contest with the prize being an empty checkbook. :(
Zona, I thought you bit a hard nut that cracked your tooth. ;)
Waving to all the other Owls. Have a good day. BBL
Carol, love the new look on the front page.
25 just cuz
Shew..home from work..glad to be home. Had an Antone's sub from Houston..yum..my favorite...now just chillin till Zumba.
CAROL: The page looks very nice.
ZONA: IF you only get charged $400 for a root canal you are lucky as mine are close to $1000 plus the crown...two different dentists.
I really don't have much to say today. Boring day of a dr appt and the store and now I am just putting off emptying the bags. I bought myself some tulips though and they are very pretty.
Guess I had best get my butt out there or the food might get bad or the flowers might wilt.
Quick fly by to say Hi..
Bebbi.. you certainly are the fairest of them all today..
Shirley.. love all the questions and let me tell you.. I can certainly go skinny dipping.. def a fact!
:O)
Lynn..
Nail the coffin.. bastards! LMAO..
Zona..
kick him in his ankle.. my goodness even when you are mad you are sweet!
:O)
Sacbarb..
I thought the front page needed some spring in it...
:O)
I put the event up on the main page of the blog, cause I am confused on a head count.. If anyone feels uncomfortable with rsvping, cause its on the main page of the blog.. my all means don't.. I only put the date up, I would never put where we are staying or who is going when, that we save for our pvt msg's and e-mails..
But actually we are all serial killers, so if we run across one in Chicago, we will all fit right in..
:O)
Ok.. my quick fly by is over..
gotta go..
:O)
Carol,we are NOT serial killers humft! We are ax murderers!
Zona,Are you sure there were 5 chairs? How many fingers am I holding up? Maybe your DDS took it in case you couldn't pay. Watch out that the others don't mysteriously disappear lol!!
Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?
See answer above.
Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"? Because it sure ain't perfect what they do!
Why is it that rain drops but snow falls? Life is complicated.
Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin? Duh, because blondes have more fun!
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? Because the glue coats the bottle and does not stick to itself. Yeah that sounds right.
Can a stupid person be a smart-ass? Very much so! They can also be a dumb ass, but as my husband always says wouldn't it be better not to be an ass at all?
Can fat people go skinny-dipping? Yes because water makes all of us weightless.
Why is the third hand on the watch called a second hand? You would be getting your time third hand and that just can't be good.
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? That is the sound of your blood pressure wooshing to you your ears as you sit there and fume.
TaDa! Do I get a prize for answering all of these Shirley?
I have to kindly request that all of you dear people who have dental issues please stop blogging about them. One, it makes me so queasy and two, I chipped one of my bottom teeth and I just know all this talk jinxed me!
I do feel your pain all of you, and the christ on a crutch the cost is just ridiculous!
Well, I guess I am heading to bed. I got 16,685 steps today. I have to get up at 4:30 and do a mystery shop then I Have to go work out and then off to work at 8am. All, have a wonderful night and sweet dreams. Say a little prayer I can get to sleep without too much tossing and turning, otherwise I will be a WRECK tomorrow!
LynnD: I have to agree..about the dental talk. I am nervous too, I had too much dental work done last year and I don't want to go through more..so shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...hehe..
I think LynnD should get a prize. :) Great answers!!
Zona: I hope you find your chair..lol.
night.
Well let's all get dentures!!
DeeDee will sneak in our homes at night and swap them with another owl's teeth. We'll wake up, reach for our glasses and teeth, then walk around with a giant question mark on our foreheads. I nominate LynnD to be the first victim. Participant. Yes, participant.
Bebbi's tired cuz she was busy kicking my arse in MW yesterday. I declared war against her twice and she beat me both times.
SHIRLEY...I love those questions that make you go hmmmmmmmm...thanks for the chuckles!
I had a strange thing happen today. I came home and looked at my table and saw a mysteriously placed big old mission chair. Hmmm, wonder where that came from?
Bwahahahahaha!!!!!
ZONA...did you find your chair?
GOLDIE...hope the dentist wasn't too painful. Would you like some taffy? Sorry, that was mean!!!!
DIANNE...if you had a baby, what would you name it? ;)~
CAROL...please leave your axe in your luggage...ijs!
Sorry LYNN and other owls...You have to listen to me about my dentist because I need the sympathy from you..,.Aww poor Di...hurting and paying for it!!
MO: Hmmmm I think I would name my baby Maureen Owl Smith....Smith because I probably wouldn't know who the father or even the mother was so yes, Smith is a good name. Will you have the shower for me?
CAROL: Will we be seeing a video of the beautiful trees again this spring? Should be pretty soon, right?
MO: Funny you found a chair. MrD just came in and asked me where that big MF chair in the garage came from....I had no idea!!
CAROL: I think I can give you a count and names...I will email you.
DIANNE...I would be honored to have your baby named after me! And of course I would make you a shower...maybe a golden shower? LOL!!!!
Bonacci..
Lets get dentures.. LOL
Dianne..
That would be great thank you!
Mo..
I can pack sharp objects in my suitcase.. ijs
Dianne..
I was not going to make a vid again cause I did one last year.. but if you want me to I sure will.. Let me know, cause your right they will be blooming soon..
CAROL...as I read your post a knife commercia came on the tv...twilight zone moment!! Pack all you want...just leave them in the bag!!
Note to self...sleep with one eye open!And buy armour pajamas!
Mo..
LOL.. armor pj's that would be uncomfy! but safe tho!
:O)
I already have dentures so I win!
JUST LIN...congratulations!!
you mean I could have just gotten dentures and bypassed all this pain and money?? Well now you tell me!!! But wait, I think my denist still has another one to put through college, so maybe that is why he hasn't mentioned it!
Goldie. Believe me, there was plenty of pain and money involved but I still couldn't save my teeth. I feel for all of you going through dental problems.
Shirley. Fun blog today! Thank you.
LynnD. Your answers cracked me up!
Sorry I didn't get a chance to comment yesterday. I did enjoy reading all your comments though. Thanks and I'm glad you liked the blog.
I think I had the clients from Hell yesterday. OMG!! I thought they would never leave. Usually if you aren't getting Cashback (your cheque right away) you just drop off your papers, tell us if anything is different from last year and leave. We call you when it's done. Not this couple. They were there for over an hour!
She gave me one paper at a time and as she did he would say "Now I have a question for you." I had a question for him too! When are you leaving?! Their tax returns were nothing special, they just wouldn't leave. My co-worker came out to see if she could speed things along (I Messengered her a HELP note). I think it actually slowed things down.
TAX TIP #2518
Don't stay any longer than you have to.
Have a good day owls!!
