New Want To Play A Word Game

2ta, I don't think he is a good plumber! Oh no, he slumped over the pump.... and I saw bumps! eeewwwww 

W, I wake up in the middle of the night alot. Mostly to pee all of this water I drink...especially since it's so dang hot.

I wonder why plumbers don't care that their rumps aren't covered up. I sure would be embarrased if my clothes revealed that much whenever I bent over!

I wish those partly-clothed plumbers would just go away. Scram, we've already seen more than we wanted to. There's such a thing as TMI, you know!

I'm off to bed soon. Nighty-night.

I wonder what happened to flannellette. I was hoping for another player on this thread. Yoo-hoo! If you're reading this, come on back! We promise we won't bite you. Just march right in and make a word. You can do it, I know you can.

Yes, Wahine, I go out to Las Vegas next week (great memory!). Parents will be moved by this time next week.  Modern technology works like a charm, have done so much by text, email, internet and phone call (plus help from one of my bothers). Went out for walk-thru yesterday with DD, the place is gorgeous! This brother hasn't even seen it (neither have my parents, actually) but took lots of photos which I emailed them. Videos too big a file to email. This was a great decision on their part. Can't wait till they're moved and settled! 

Hopefully, won't be needing that pesky, indecent plumber - ever!

Come back Flannelette, come back!!

Thanks for the suggestion, Wahine, will keep it in mind!

Please Flannelette (as well as anyone else wanting to play), come back! We promise not to play rough and take mercy on you!

Wahine, personally, I think not! We are more of a merry band of word-ologists!

Sigh of relief! My sister & BIL were here most of last week. My sister and I are living proof that astrology is bunk. Our birthdays are not quite a year apart, so we both have the same "sign", but we are opposites in almost every way, including our opinions of BIL. But even though I find it a trying experience to be around the guy for more than a very short time, I will say this: he helped my mom out with a lot of small repairs that needed to be done before putting her house on the market, and was also willing to ferry the love-seat my mom is giving me (she decided to take the sofa-bed instead) to my new place in his big truck. The remodel is really & truly under way. Today I need to go talk to the kitchen-cabinet people. My mom's wanted to move by the first of the month, but there were no open spots on the calendar until Aug 13. They only move one person in per day. With luck, I will have a functional bathroom by the time she moves! Then I'll finally be able to live in my house.

Argh! Just this once I didn't preview, and there is wahine sliding in ahead of me with the same word. I could now change it to talk about the food we had while DS & BIL were here. It is about the right time of year to have had a yummy berry pie...only we didn't, it was apple!

mmmmm! Peach cobbler! We have a favorite recipe in our family that was in the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook my mom had when we were growing up. It's called Peach-a-berry cobbler and in addition to the peaches has  blueberries in it. It's really yummy. I adapted the recipe to what I call "Fake-a-berry" cobbler, using canned peaches and frozen blueberries, and the results are almost as good as with fresh fruit. I also have a recipe for peach marmalade somewhere around here, and that is also very tasty.

By the time I have a usable kitchen, all the summer fruit will probably be gone, and I don't have a garden this summer either. I think I'll try some straw bales, but it's too late to do anything for this summer except maybe some radishes and salad greens, so I'll start broccoli plants to overwinter and get my herbs going. No garden, no home canning--I guess I will have to knit or sew something, or bake a cake, if I want to submit an entry for the County Fair!

OK but just a little one. Sweets are the enemy of just about any weight-loss or weight-maintenance plan, and I know at least some of us have the goal of reaching or staying at a healthy weight.

Well, OK, if you truly yearn for a bite, you may have just a nibble!

I will stick to meats over sweets, please. Although, I did get some new sweeteners and can't wait to try some new low carb baking.

I meant, sweets are the enemy of weight control or maintenance because so many people can't resist them. I'm not completely immune to their lure myself, and must confess that I, too, sometimes sneak a bite of something I'm "not supposed to" eat!

OMG Curve, I just now noticed that we posted at the same time again, earlier! I must have been a few seconds after you, cause I just now saw it. (The responses to the word "meany")! Sorry everyone!!!

 For me, my sweet tooth peeks out and rears its ugly head, and seems to control my cravings waaaaay too much! I agree with you Jane...when I have quit sugar for awhile (which WAS hard for a few days), then the cravings went away. Good for you!

I do crave sweets, sometimes. If I'm lucky, DH picks up some Ghiradelli 86% dark chocolate for me...mmmm
