Well, ya gotta figure out what (or who) symbolizes your toilet....

I had a slapfight with my alarm clock this morning. I'm pretty sure I lost.

Sue, glad your toilet troubles are fixed. We currently have a sock puppet, a tiny dinosaur and probably my BiL's wallet in our toilets. Be glad you don't have a 4 year old whose favorite movie is apparently Flushed Away.

I went to Nordie's over the weekend and had a bra fitting. I tried on some Wacoals but ended up with a Le Mystere and a Chantelle, instead. The French know their boobies and how to take care of them.

Talk to the dead with Nicole Zapruder.

I have been talking to the dead for my entire life and after 6 years of research I have perfected a new technique that, under ideal conditions, is more than 73% successful.

My objective is to use this new site to share my technique so that others too may talk to the dead.

I call this technique the Grey Walter- Berger Construct which I have named to honor the work of neuro scientists Grey Walter and Hans Berger.

Wow - more than 73% successful in talking to the dead! Of course, that's under "ideal circumstances" - which probably means "When magic ponies fly out of my butt and do whatever I say."

At least she takes the time to warn of possible dangers of communicating with the dead:

The Grey Walter- Berger Construct is a powerful and effective technique for talking with the dead.

Given this, it comes with certain dangers, so please read this warning first.

Unrestrained by their physical body, the dead can, under certain circumstances, manifest physical effects on living beings. Therefore, do not contact any dead person who may:

• Have negative feelings toward you

• May harbor menace or have ill intentions against you

• Who has committed acts of violence upon you while alive

Talking directly with the dead can cause an intense emotional response. Therefore please do not use this technique if:

• You suffer from psychosis, paranoia, or under psychiatric care.

• If you are not in a stable emotional state

• If you are unprepared to communicate with the dead person in question

• This requires emotional maturity, do not use if you are under 21.

Ooh, she has a discussion board. If I had more time today, maybe I'd sign up....

I am loving Sue's toilet-watch-and-post.

at first glance, this has a very different meaning :)

more than 73%

73.5%?

From the Black Oven:

Stir in flour with a mighty sense of loathing, and chill dough for a few hours.

I am at work now. But I was leaving the house to come to work, and the new phone book was on my doorstep. Just when I thought the day couldn't get more exciting!

Also, my regular Starbucks barista gave me my coffee gratis when she heard was at home all morning with plumbing problems.

I feel very strongly that it should be time for lunch now.

I feel very strongly that shrift is correct.
