  10. Great adverts, Shirley! How many personalities are you sporting today?

    I'm curious about how many people are going to switch their iPhones from ATT to Verizon. Anyone?

    ReplyDelete
  11. SHIRLEY.....I personally like... Now is the perfect time to get your ears pierced and get an extra pair to take home, too! Too bad it doesn't come with an extra eye for poor DEE DEE!! The other one that caught my attention was.....Great Dames for sale. MOHO....are you hanging a red light, too?

    ReplyDelete

  15. Happy Tuesday Owls.

    Shirley, very funny ads. I like the ear peircing one too. I could use an extra pair.

    Bebbi, I got the $49 iPhone deal. My son talked me into it. I'm still trying to figure it all out.

    Waiting for the plumber. The shower runs out of hot water in about 5 minutes even though the sink faucet runs hot water. Is a puzzlement and will probably be costly.

    Waving to all the Owls. bbl

  16. Jodi~~ Waving a wing back!

    "For sale: antique desk suitable for lady with thick legs and large drawers" Perfect! I'll take it! :D

    Great list beautiful #1 #1 #1 #1 SHIRLEY! :D

    LYNN: Praying that every day is a little better than the day before! :)

    BARB: So..how was the plumber's crack today? ;)

    JODI: I really do need an extra pair..ijs.. ;)

    DEEDEE: AT&T too? Now I understand the phone they offered in the 80's that was shaped like an ear of corn! Well..kinda..

    BEBBI: Hi Sunshine! :)

    BONACHI: No iPhone here either..I don't know how to use the phone I have yet..but then I've only had it 3 years.. ;)

    FROM 51:

    BARB: I tripped over Nikki on Sunday. Eventho I tweaked my knee..I still went for a walk yesterday. About a half mile down the road..my knee really started to hurt and I stumbled and fell. Getting up was the tough part..not so much for me as for all the drivers that had to see my big ol' butt as I tried to stand up..lol..I'm ok..just a little sore. :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. BARB - I hope he is at least HOTTT ♥

    ReplyDelete
  20. ZONA - Pair of what?!!? Melons....cheeks.....knees?!!?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Shirley,I see you were playing with yourself this mouning, until Bebbi interfered lol!!
    My fave classified is "Tired of cleaning yourself? Let me do it"

    Zona, I have been worried about you since I read about your fall! I hope you are alright. I seem to be a klutz lately. Why is it that I always hurt the one knee that has been replaced? Hurts like a MOFO!

    Waving at Bebbi,Bonach,LynnD, & Jodi~~~~

    ReplyDelete
  22. Mary if the knee is still under warrenty maybe you can go in for a tune up!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Anyone heard from DeeDee? Is she still getting drilled by her dentist?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Good evening feathered friends!

    SHIRLEY...were you #1? LOL! Yes you must have been with that natural beauty you exude!

    Loved the blog! Like JODI, I immediately was drawn to the ear pierceing and thought about DEE DEE having a spare set of ears to make up for the 1/2 set of eyes!!

    I also thought the desk was specially made for me!

    ZONA...sorry to hear about your fall. You need to carry your cell phone so you can text an SOS! Feel better.

    HODI...no red light here! Damn it!

    It snowed like a mofo today and it isn't supposed to stop for a couple of days. Ugggh.

    ReplyDelete
  25. SHIRLEY...maybe DEE DEE is stuck on her dentist. Perhaps when she shoved her shoe up his arse she had forgotten to take her foot out!

    MARY...maybe you can wrap some of your Depends around your knee to act as a cushion to protect it...ijs!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Zona, No plumbers crack.

    Jodi, No he wasn't HOTTTTT but he wasn't old and ugly either, and he charged me $250.00. I didn't enjoy it all that much.

    ReplyDelete
  27. MO MO MO!! What I need is a big hunk of a man like BJ to assist me around the house ;-)

  41. I really wish you Americans would keep you snow storms down there. We really don't want another nor'easter, but it looks like one is coming tomorrow and Thursday. Thanks! **she says sarcasticly and glares**

    ReplyDelete
  44. granted my previous teeth are probably in a landfill by now but I WILL get new teeth and when I do I am going to BITE YOU ALL that made fun of my oral re-do!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. What??? You didn't save your teeth to make a necklace???

    Oh well, I can't wait to see the new diamond grille (sp)!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hey Gumm...I mean DeeDee, do you have a blender? Gee that's a dumb question to ask you. How would YOU know if you had a blender?!! Silly me! Anyway ask Cook if you have a blender and then she/he can puree all your food for you! You could have oatmeal, bacon and eggs for breaky, and oh I bet potatoe salad and meatloaf would be good for dinner! Great idea right?? I've always said there was a brain behind all this natural beauty!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. The kitchen has been instructed pertaining to the present situation.....

    I am high on Vicodin and all is well.....

    Cook has planned a varied menu of mushes....which I am sure will be... delicious....and soft...

    meantime I have some lovely bread-sticks to suck on and plenty of warm salt water to slosh....

    ReplyDelete
  48. Well Owls I'm going to bed. I had to turn my fan on by my bed to get it nice and cold for me because I have be sweating all evening. I have turned all my heat way down and I have my bathroom window open. If snow comes in there I don't care. This pre menopause stuff sucks!!!
    Nighty night!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Shirley Thanks for the fun blog today. Oh, and both of you are totally beautiful today, no matter what DeeDee says.

    ReplyDelete
  50. DeeDee Did you have one or more teeth pulled today. I totally sympathize. If you've lost your Poli-grip, I'll share my Fixodent with you. : D

    ReplyDelete
  51. Bonach I have Verizon and am happy with my Blackberry Curve.

    ReplyDelete
  52. MO LOL @ your suggestion to Mary.

    ReplyDelete
  53. SacBarb But did the plumber fix the problem? And what was the problem, anyway? Inquiring minds want to know.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Zona, Zona, Zona Please stop falling down.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Waving at HOdi, Bebbi, LynnD, Mary, Tina and Bear!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Congrats to you too, J/L !!

    Dee Dee: Vicodan always makes me constipated.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Bear Thanks! Also, I agree about the Vicodin. That's an unfortunate side effect.

    ReplyDelete
  58. J/L, Yes the problem is fixed. He put a new thingy that mixes the hot and cold water in both faucets. Both bathrooms have one of those single faucets.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Please send some good thoughts to San Diego for my son's fur baby Canton. Things are not going well for him tonight. He hasn't eaten today and all he wants to do is sleep. The vet told them to take him in early tomorrow. They are afraid of what they will be told. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Good night and sweet dreams to all the Owls. I am going to take a vicodin and go to bed.

    ReplyDelete
