I could sub one day a week, if someone will walk me through it the first time (I'm a virgin). I'd have to open the classroom early before I leave and grade work after I got home though, so I wouldn't be able to tell for sure if anyone copied someone else's work...

[Texan5]

No, no-not THAT kind of "put away"-I meant put away the stuff in the freezer, pantry, fridge, etc-I'm not very big for my height-where would I put all that food?

[Argh]

Sounds fine to me. I'd prefer Friday, unless SG really wants it.

The doc doesn't have my CT scan results yet, Canaduh you know. He's talking about sending me to a neurologist.

I'm about an inch too short for my weight. 8=]

I'm about an inch too short for my weight. 8=]

Hmmmn.

Wanna trade some parts and pieces?

I've got about 2" - 3" inches of height left over after I've used up all of my wasteline....

Can't even find kakkkiiii or jeans that fit any more. Anybody got a few sets of 31-34 trousers laying around?

(At least my FDT drill uniform from A&M still fit at the last (25th) class reunion.)

* Golfers don't kick dirt, throw bottles, or curse when a bad play is made

ummmm...xshub has been known to act badly when he hits a bad shot. up to and including wrapping a golf club around a tree.....

Note to the classroom.

When one puts a bottle of XX in the freezer ice compartment to cool down more quickly, then goes to retrieve daughter from he library, one may find that the contents are "more than slightly rigid" (vice turbid) upon return to the domicile and frigid compartment in question....

Two. Rigid beer does not flow rapidly from the mouth of the container.

I had no inspiration for a dirty water post using "turbid" until my son told me that the jingle for "Zest" soap is aimed at people with OCD. "I'm not really clean unless I'm Zestfully clean? But I washed and washed..."

[TheGrimReaper]

I suspect some underlying domestic strife.... (8-o

[Robert A Cook PE]

Hmmmmn.

Ya suspect a turgid affair is/was the source of da problem??

Or a lack of rigidity in da affair?



Did bad language accompany the turdgid-laden vocal response to his poor lie on da course?

Perhaps we should wash out his mouth with DG's soap.

You are definitely better suited to posting words for Friday. I defer to your lascivious nature. ;)

[Argh]

Thank you!

[xsmommy]

i didn't think of that aspect, good call, SG ; )

[Gabz]

Good morning.

[Texan5]

Fridays should be really interesting now...

[secret garden]

No doubt!

[Texan5]

Morning! Breakfast is done and hubby is on the way to work-he will be the only one in his office again today-and I'm thinking of getting out of here extra early myself...

[Gabz]

School bus will be leaving shortly with hubby close behind - then I have one errand to run, but the place doesn't open until 9........then it is gardening here I come for the better part of the day (I hope)

[Texan5]

I always like the Friday words-and I'm sure they will be handled well by Argh's subtle but prurient interests.

[Texan5]

The place I'm working on right now is vacant, so I can go any time I want to-and the lure of getting home early to do some housework is becoming very strong.
