OMG you guys - I just came across the best conspiracy theory EVAR. Apparently Lady Gaga is a member of the Illuminati.

OK. This link won't load for me. But what's weird is the link came up purple (i.e. I've visited that link) but I don't remember it.

Obviously, the Illuminati is messing with my computer and erasing my memory.

Hahah! I still have the pictures somewhere. From before having a digital camera!

Oh, I have them on flickr. Beware!

That was like, a decade ago. Freaky!

Crazy, right?

My advice? Give her a glycerin suppository. Works every time. I'm sure he didn't follow my advice.

The problem with suppositories is that kids with poop issues can become dependent on them.

Right.

The only poop issue Liv has is that she likes to say the word. A lot. I'm hoping I don't have to insert anything or do any manual searches. I would love to have this end with a trip to the bathroom and a peek into the toilet and voila! Flush, wash hands and avoid a trip to the doctor and an x-ray.

And I hope you don't have to go looking to make sure it all comes out OK. So to speak.

this was the part that mom was less excited about. She broke up the poop with a coat hanger and there it was. I wanted to keep it, but she wouldn't let me.

The problem with suppositories is that kids with poop issues can become dependent on them.

Sure. The same can be said of prune juice and excess fiber. And I'm sure the yoga-dad that I gave that response to felt exactly the same way.

You guys are killing me. I just read through 200 posts and laughed out loud several times, but I'm terrible at remembering who said what. Except this:

Suzi, describing a picture of a "beaver" (think Vonnegut) created during a game of Pictionary:

KCD was his partner and couldn't figure it out. Now that I write this, that explains a LOT.

BWAH!

I was just talking to Steve about the competitive thing. He said that I am only competitive if the person I'm playing with is also competitive. I have to agree. Part of it that I was ultra-competitive, and like many of you, was extremely good at the trivia/word games as a youngster. And people stopped wanting to play with me because I always won. So I just stopped playing games for years and years. Until Megan Walker entered my life. But I think all of those years of being wayyyyyy too into it made their mark on me. I don't know if I'll ever give a rightful crap about a board game again.

Also, with board games, I am the opposite the way I am about movies; that is, I just want to visit and have fun and be goofy and drink more wine and laugh. And that can be totally annoying to those of you who are way into it. So it's hard to match it up.
