And one for Ms. Edith Head

Sandra · « **Reply #361 on:** March 14, 2007, 08:10:11 PM »

But today was a MUCH better day. I stopped off at Circle K after I got off the bus and bought a bag of candy. I told the kids that if they were good all morning, I would give them some candy and they could eat it after lunch. They were good all day. It's amazing what a little bribery can do.

Or was that three for Ms. Edith Head?

Sandra have a good day tomorrow without any bribery.

'night.

It's not bribery, DR Sandra. We call it "rewarding good behavior."

I told the kids it was Pi Day. They didn't know what I was talking about.

The girls like to "cook" with sand during playground time. Basically, you shovel a bunch of sand into a bucket, say what kind of food it is (marshmallows and strawberries are the most popular), and then you all pretend to eat it. Today they made a pie.

Some "gold nuggets" appeared overnight in the sand on the playground (I had nothing to do with it!), so the kids were digging them up all day. I found one and Ashton told me it was a "golden chicken nugget sparkle glitter."

Re ID's that look nothing like you - Have i told my unemployment story before?

Last time I was on unemployment, about 13 years ago, my ID carried a photo that was about 45 pounds lighter than I was at the moment, plus it was a dynamite photo. (How good did it look? So good that the ID could have been mistaken for the brother of DR Ron Pulliam's avatar

.)

Anyway, the lady at unemployment shows us a video about how we can get back on our feet and find a new job, bucking-up stuff like that. Then we got on a line to have our ID's checked. She looks at my ID, then at me, then at my ID again, then at me again, and announces - no, she brays - "Boy, this is a reeeeally good picture of you." The other unemployment lady sitting next to her realizes her compadre had unintentionally insulted me, and says, "Oh, but you look fine now, too - I love yer hair."

And speaking of chicken nuggets...

Every day, I look at the school lunch menu to see what I can expect to eat with my plate, and every single time the menu has said "french toast," we have had chicken nuggets. Every single time.

Today, the menu said "chicken nuggets." We had french toast.

Naturally, I now have an ID that looks as close as posisble to what I look like, tonnage and all.

Sandra · « **Reply #371 on:** March 14, 2007, 08:22:12 PM »

My brother has a photo credit card, only there was some kind of mix-up and the picture on the card isn't his. It's some guy we've never seen before. Bloog calls him Tony.

My ID looks like me...the stated weight on it, however, is closer to the weight of one leg rather than my whole body

Cillaliz · « **Reply #373 on:** March 14, 2007, 08:23:26 PM »

Last time I had it renewed, I raised the weight by 10 pounds. Before that it was probably the weight of my left foot

I waited for half an hour at a bus stop that had this sign posted:

Regular Cash Fare: $1.25
Reduced Cash Fare: $0.60
Pickles Ride Free!

Cillaliz · « **Reply #375 on:** March 14, 2007, 08:25:38 PM »

Were there any pickles waiting to ride the bus?

FJL · « **Reply #376 on:** March 14, 2007, 08:27:20 PM »

Once again, and I never get tried of hearing it, I was on hold earlier with the IRS and the machine said "Please do not hang up and dial again because doing so may increase your weight."

FJL · « **Reply #377 on:** March 14, 2007, 08:28:58 PM »

Well, we do call Dear Canine Dylan by the pet name Dill. Would he get to ride the bus for free?

You know, there are some bus drivers who would see the logic in that.

My brother used to call my niece "Pickles" because she loved to eat them so much

Cillaliz · « **Reply #382 on:** March 14, 2007, 08:32:35 PM »

You could show up with a name tag that says "Pickles" and see if they'd let you ride for free

Sick story:

Our friend Ed Weissman tried to take his dog into a store and was told by the guard, "I'm sorry, you can't bring that dog into this store." Ed told the guard, "That's OK, the dog is blind." The guard let them in.

If I weighed what my driver's license says, I'd be able to wear that beautiful leopard-spotted dress that Sandra found for me at Goodwill.

DR MusicGuy, I was supposed to tell Carol about the piano tuner, leaving the top open, and was there something else?

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #389 on:** March 14, 2007, 08:54:48 PM »

Ok, music people -- We are going to have our annual talent show in May. Do you have suggestions for a song that is not too difficult that I could perform? I am not very good, so I need something easy.
