Ha, aurelia! And that was a lot, tonight!
I`m so happy for new dog settling in! I think I`d better get my dog and snuggle him in celebration.
'Shells'
Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I showed my dog the picture of Darby. He seemed mildy interested. My guess is that he was acting blase to hide his joy at seeing another similarly colored dog get a good home.
Headline of the day: "Sarah Palin Blasts Use of 'Retard,' Except for Rush Limbaugh" [link]
I too object to the use of the word retard, except for Rush Limbaugh.
"I have no clue what you are saying".
"Stop whining or you'll have a timeout. Okay...timeout."
I love iCarly! I have a terrible weakness for children's television. I used to babysit a lot, so I had an excuse, but now I just... it's a problem. I honestly enjoy both iCarly and Wizards of Waverly Place (there's an episode of that that almost made me cry. it was so embarrassing!)
Thanks guys for the calorie site suggestions earlier!
That is too funny, Ginger.
Do you use the phrase "I can't hear you when you whine." good times.
"Can you say that again, without the whining?"
"That's still whining."
In our house
"Stop whining or you'll have a timeout. Okay...timeout."
results in "No" or "You can't make me". We are pretty much a timeout free house. But the kids I nannied were very responsive to timeouts.
"You can't make me".
Yes, I still have the advantage of being able to physically pick Matilda up and put her into her crib. (Which really only functions as a combo timeout zone/stuffed animal zoo at this point. She doesn't sleep there.)
"Can you say that again, without the whining?"
Yes. "I need you to ask me in a polite tone of voice."
Which usually results in a whiny "Pleeeeeeeeeeease may I have [whatever]???????" but at least it's a start.
