I know it's been awhile for me, but I think I missed something in my catch-up reading. What is the challenge, and what are the rules?

UYS' beloved, Ron, is going to have knee surgery. She's concerned about the anaesthetic, since he's 71. The Challenge is the new STC Thread, the title is "Sleeping and Waking" and the goal is to give her and Ron printouts of our SPELLINGS to take with them as he goes into surgery. Attention is energy.

The deadline has been bumped to the 27th of May now, since he goes into surgery the 28th - it got rescheduled earlier.

so there ya go. More info over on the STC For UYS thingie.

HI SMITTY! So nice to see you. I understand the whole "busy with that other life thing". *sigh* sometimes it must be done...

I don't poot. It's a medical condition. My man says he's worried about it. Of course he doesn't realize I pop gas-x often. I simply refuse to pass gas. And I only burp when I drink beer. Okay, that's probably not ladylike. I think that's another thing I'll let my soul take care of. "Really, it wasn't me. It was my soul. My soul is uncouth."

I give it another year. Once you pass the two year mark, you poot and don't care. Bye bye Gas-X. I didn't poot for two years in front of ee. But you know after a few years, sneaking in the bathroom to let one go is just too much trouble. I'll never fart with the gusto men do, but I'm done sneaking around! It's the last barrier to go in a relationship.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Rofllllllllll !!!!!!!!

 

[Angeline]

Rofllllllllll !!!!!!!!

Cause you know it's true!

 

[UnderYourSpell]

For all his 39 years of marriage he had to go to the bathroom for such things ... then he met me nuff said he no longer has too!!

 

[WickedEve]

but I'm done sneaking around!

You go, girl!

Yup, I hear you. ee and I certainly try to be thoughtful for each other, but neither of us is willing to leave a warm bed, for example, for a little pootsky. I totally don't get woman who make their spouses go in the bathroom to do it!

But when we have his very beany chili for dinner, all bets are off lol.

 

[Angeline]

You go, girl!

Oh shut up. lol.

PS If you really loved Hugo, you'd make him bagels.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Now Eve be a sweety and look at it this way if you wasn't meant to poot you wouldn't have the equipment even the Queen does it you know and Prince Phillip let one go on the balcony while waving at the crowds so I think you have pull royal permission to unleash upon the world one or two nifters besides which it's good for you

The Queen looks like she'd be happier if she did it more often.

I made him brownies and pizza. I gave a piece of the pizza to my schnoodle dog and he spit the hard crust out at my feet and walked away. Hugo said he hurt his arm cutting the brownies I made. He actually did. I like take-out.

At least you're not on the tofu kick anymore. ee keeps asking me when I want him to make us tofu dogs. I keeping saying "soon."

It's pretty bad when even the schnoodle won't eat your cooking!

I tried cooking some veggie/soy dog creatures. They kind of wiggled and screamed in the pan. It was creepy.

I love tofy in stir fries, but I draw the line at tofu dogs. I love eating way too much to waste calories on anything so well mushy yucky.

 

[loststar]

so just checking in, yes I am still alive... but on a slightly unrelated note
bj asked me to offer up a less biased opinion of how her triad gets along. And while I have been observing and interacting for a few months now I don't really know where to begin. So well R & M are bj's two mates and they are both wonderful guys. I see each of the three of them fitting into a different role in one another's life. R is far more social and if you see a man at her side chances are it is R. M is far more of a home body, infact I have never seen him outside of the house. M is a very calm person, I would describe him as almost unshakable. Recently a snake surprised M in the kitchen he calmly walked into the living room and asked for help, and R quickly jumped into action to help put the snake back in the woods. It wasn't until after the incident that I was informed M was very afraid of snakes, and thats why he asked for help at all. When Bj and R were running circles around the house attempting to plan and pack for a festival M quietly sat there, making sure a funny movie was on, and while this may not sound like much it made the entire evening calmer, and helped keep us all in good spirits. M cuts the grass making paths all over the land, and R fixes the lawn mower when it breaks. M works out of the house, and both R and Bj made extra efforts to make sure that he has everything to be perfectly comfortable when they are away at festival. I have seem excessive communication and consideration from all three of them, and I think that is one of the only things that allows the three of them to live as they do. R&M almost live as brothers in arms, always taking extra effort to take care of the household. Recently a delemia came about, in a very emotionally tiring moment in bj's life, and these two took it upon them selves to take care of what needed to be done without adding extra burden to bj. I see this kind of selfless giving constantly in their household, and I think it is what makes it worth the extra effort involved. This is not to say they there aren't issues there always are, who does the laundry, I don't have enough time, who is doing what for dinner and when? But it seems that conflicts are resolved faster and with much less personalization, but that may just be the many years of marriage smoothing the rough edges.

Tofu can be pretty good in a lot of dishes. I found some that I didn't have to keep in water but can't find it around here anymore. I hate having tofu in water in my fridge. It looks like a growth. Oh, it looks like that awful wart I had between my toes back years ago. I'm serious. I've only had two warts and both were monsters. The doctor had to freeze them off. Tofu warts.

Don't tell anyone about my warts.

Thank you for that portrait, loststar. It is interesting to read about how such a family functions.

heh heh. yes, thanks.

She went to a lot more trouble there than I expected. i did tell her it was okay to talk about us if she wanted to give an external viewpoint. Mostly it's just nice to have an outside person confirm that yes, it's just like that, and no, we're not all harboring deep jealousies and rivalries. Deep psychosis, yes. Jealousy, nah. We're all too old for that shit.

But yeah, there ya go then.

And here I go again too, pretty soon. I've left extra supplies back there to keep the food and booze stocked for the weekend while I'm off raiding small coastal towns. Have fun, kids. And blessings.

[unpredictablebijou]

Agh tofu.

It's pretty good sauteed with bacon and mushrooms until you can't tell what it is anymore. That, and making squishy noises for videos, is about the only use I've ever found for the stuff.

Viv, that is gorgeous. Really nostalgic for me, too. There's nothing like three in a bed for a sensation of total nourishment...

bj

Very much in agreement here. Nothing at all like it.

Homb I went and got some of that Glucosamine chontroitin from the health food shop today good job it was a half price sale my word its expensive and the size of them it's like swallowing bloody horse pills! I am terrible at taking pills so I will be awash with what I have to drink to get them down.

Yup, it's not a fun pill to take. It helps though.

As an aside, some people take a few weeks to notice an effect. Some people feel it right away. Give it a few weeks if you notice nothing at first.

If your teeth are strong enough, you can also chew them. There's no particular advantage in swallowing them whole, except to get it over with quickly. My SO chews hers all the time. She says they aren't particularly tasty, but she has trouble swallowing Sudafed, so she even chews her multivitamins.

There is also a variety designed to be chewable, if the regular tablets are too tough for your teeth.

Your SO is a badass. Those things taste like shite. No thanks. If you get the ones with lubravite in them they taste like shite on acid with ragweed thrown in.

The full price would have been just over £22 for 60 tablets so two a day for two of us I make that they will only last a fortnight ... we live on Ron's pension you know!!
