| I don't recall you ever commenting on my entries. Don't think I was ever added to your favorites list. |
| from fan4 : |
| It would've been nice, if you had given my diary a chance too. |
| from fan4 : |
| You never gave any indication of hating this place when I came across your diary. And enough about the prize thing, that didn't happen this year. It was this year you decided to leave, not two years ago. |
| from fan4 : |
| I gave your diary a chance, and loved it. Found the entries funny, and was able to overlook your pirate theme. But now, your so-called "updates" are boring advertisements for Wordpress. "If you want to read all about my life, you have to click on the Wordpress link. I won't share any of the details with any fellow Diarylanders." |
| from fan4 : |
| I've never done photo hosting. (Have you ever checked out any of my diary entries.) You sounded like a snob in my notes. |
| from fan4 : |
| Yeah, I'm reading entries in reverse order. Wish you hadn't relocated to Wordpress. I know nothing of that site. Diaryland's what I"m used to. |
| from fan4 : |
| Are you leaving Diaryland? |
| from fan4 : |
| What blogging site did you learn about first, Diaryland or Wordpress? |
| from ashwink14 : |
| I can understand what the difficulties of being a nympho would be, but I don't see why you can't joke about it. Isn't that what comedy is all about? I mean, I joked with my best friend about OCD not too long ago, and it felt good. Why live with a stick up your bum, I figure. Plus, laughing about how crappy life is sometimes really helps. |
| from sduckie : |
| You're welcome- but I just added you and now you are moving to wordpress? I hope you will give a notice that you updated!! :) |
| from geekboy61 : |
| Look, whenever I burn books at the library, I always do it way after hours, so I don't get caught as quickly. |
| from zencelt : |
| Hey Poola! Thanks for the support. I can't tell you how much you ladies have helped over the years. Hugs! |
| from glorycloud : |
| You were gracious to tell me I am not crazy-but if I was to go up to the average secular person and tell him what I believe I doubt if he would consider me in my right mind-I always talk about the Lord Jesus Christ-I see life from God's perspective-"God-centered view of Reality"-I seriously doubt if the average american has a God-centered interpretation of Reality-in fact the Bible tells me that men and women by nature hate God and have rejected God's view of Life-peace |
| from glorycloud : |
| I am not fit of the society of men because I am crazy-peace |
| from fan4 : |
| I'm not into them, but like your diary anyway. |

| Happy Belated Birthday! |

| where did you get your theology degree from-school? I got my M.Div. from Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson Miss. many years ago-people find me odd because I go by the teachings of the Bible and not my fallen intellect-why should I set my mind above God's Word-I do not put in faith in man only in the holy Scriptures-the Bible teaches there saved sinners and lost sinners-we are all not children of God-also holiness brings happiness or blessedness-peace |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Thank you! It feels good to have been able to accomplish something. |
| from glorycloud : |
| why is happiness a "natural right"? |
| from zencelt : |
| You have to let me know if there's something I shouldn't miss while I'm out ther in the desert. Or should miss for that matter... |
| from ashwink14 : |
| When I read those two words you noted me, oh my God, I was rendered incapacitated by LAUGHTER. Best comment ever, poolie! |
| from artgnome : |
| so what happened on thursday???? I'm dying to know what is going on from what you shared with me!!! |
| from annanotbob : |
| Ahoy there! In answer to your question of whether I'm going to drop the RV back where I got it from, I have no idea. I'm only thinking of hiring one from the section of the trip that comes after Michigan. I shall get a train from Detroit, heading east, around April 10th, to ... well, who knows where. Tony, my nine year old grandson, has taken on the task of investigating the possibilities for me. While I'm at Boxx's, I could hire a car for a day to come and meet you, perhaps. What I MUST MUST MUST allow for is the fact that I fall totally to pieces if I do too much. I have to remember to build in quiet time alone, to not fill every day with plans then have to start cancelling and letting people down. I have a million questions, but I'll let young Tony see what he can find out. Woo hoo! xxx |

| from fifidellabon : |
| Ah, Poolie, it isn't as romantic as actually hunting a haggis would be. I am actually just going to drive to the butcher's and give my very Scottish name ( I took Ned's when we got married) and they will give me a two-pound haggis for our Burn's Night party and a one-pound haggis just for us. I love the stuff, can't get enough of it! (My fav-o-riffic one was deffo the haggis that I had in Oban.) Also at the butcher's I'll no doubt squeal a bit and buy meat pies, pasties, oh, and lets not forget the Empire Biscuits and all of the sweeties. Most likely I'll walk down the street a bit to another shop and get tablet. And more party things. XOFifi Pee Ess Perhaps a dansband CD or two?!!! |
| from beyondpanic : |
| I don't think harshly of you at all. I know Popeye has had those issues in the past, but I also know that the Sea Hag has told him that if he started smoking pot or using pain killers again she would leave him. So...I just think he's under rherr crazy spell and until he wakes up, he's going to continue to ignore us. Thanks for the good vibes. |
| from portlypete : |
| Since you left me a note, I took the liberty of rooting round your back entries (hmm, maybe I could have phrased that better). Anyway, I saw the December post about commercials and men with pigtails (don't pirates have them?), and leaving aside the wisdom of someone with so many cowlicks upbraiding the braided, it reminded me of a TV ad from back in the days when tobacco advertising hadn't been outlawed, and balding men sported "comb-overs". It's one of a series that ran on UK TV for over 25 years with hardly a change to the format: there are loads on youtube. Forget the programmes: just enjoy the ads...... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=X0SbVFxl64A& |

| You left out a letter in my zodiac sign, Poolie. I may be a Pisces, yet I don't like water all that much. *shrugs* |
| from fan4 : |
| Oops, you already told me your sign! My fault for not paying better attention. |
| from fan4 : |
| That's the diary entry that confused me, Poolie. Okay, so you're a Feb. child. What sign are you then? I'm a Pisces. |

| In 2006, you celebrated your birthday in March. I prefer to celebrate my birthday in the actual month it takes place in. |
| from fan4 : |
| Is your birthday in March? Mine's in that month. |
| from ipaula : |
| that's actually really weird because i noticed your diary on the recent entries list as well, and read about your encounter with the two-way mirror. i had no idea your name was paula, though! neat! :) |
| from sparks-lav : |
| Hey, no problem! I really enjoy reading your entries (in a completely non-creeper way). Take care! |
| from fan4 : |
| Merry Christmas! |

| I'm an idiot. I'm not up to 3k. I'm not even up to 2k. I still have 49 or so more to go. Which at the rate I'm actually posting these days will take me until April. I'm a complete hack... You're the d-land queen. Have a wonderful Christmas, Poolie-girl. Big hug. -J |
| from fan4 : |
| You're welcome. :D I really loved reading your 3000th entry. :) |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Thanks, and You too. Enjoy your T-Giving, Poolie! |
| from life-my-way : |
| I do not believe I can think of anyone I'd rather have applaud me! Happy day to you and yours--eat a bunch, it will keep you busy until your new opportunity figures out where you are and bowls you over with love and money. |

| Don't worry about it, poolie. You were on the road for like, most of that day, anyways. You were focusing on the road. :) There's always next year. :) |
| from annanotbob : |
| Hurrah for gumption and many thanks xxx |
| from bazling : |
| I got a job in a very shorthanded office the week after I moved here, and I've been busy ever since! I keep telling myself I should come to the museum and see you, but I don't know if you work on the weekends, and I keep working overtime. When's a good time to come see you? I still want to! |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Thank you! |
| from bornearly : |
| Tell me mo'. You were with a band (as opposed to solo)? Where did you stay? How frequently did you play out? How old were you? How far afield did you travel? Were you dealing with any personality weirdness among band members? What made you decide to stop touring? Thanks for elucidating -- all this will go into the "pot of things to mull over regarding touring and its relationship to real life." :) |
| from aryssa18 : |
| not a problem. :) I look forward to getting to learn more about you too. |
| from shewholies : |
| I didn't think there were any other Iowa Rats on diaryland, whereabouts are you from? |
| from wordsofmine : |
| What a cute photo. Gosh I couldn't imagine a big hoedown and $15,000 sounds kind of cheap but I'm basing my information from movies I've watched and they held galas at museums and it seemed the parties looked pretty pricey. |

| The real question is: What power does she have, to cloud mens' (and womens') minds? Only the Shadow knows ... At work, I was talking with a woman I respect quite a bit, although we are opposites, politically. She said, "Wow, you just gotta love Sarah, don't you?" "No," I replied. "I don't." |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Surprisingly, yes. I'm actually doing that. :) |
| from mangofarmer : |
| Hehe, thanks. I'm 28 but I feel 70. |
| from ladybug-red : |
| hello dear - remember me? I'm back and happy to be home. I'm so glad to see you are still well and happy and keeping the troops entertained! |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Thank you very much for the kind words, poola. I shall keep them in mind. |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Poola, When I read your note to me, tears filled my eyes. Thank you so much for the kind and comforting words; you have no idea how much I appreciate it. :) |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Hubby and I both thank you for the hug and send a big (hypo-alergenic) fuzzy one back to you. You are in our prayers Ms. Poolie. |
| from ashwink14 : |
| What's all this then? You should get yourself an MP3 player. I recommend the iPod Nano (but, of course, I am biased, heh). Next time you're go on a road trip, you can have awesome times with a lot choice music! CD players and CDs are bulky, you can have a huge amount of music in a tiny little player. That's why I love mp3 players. But, to answer your question, you're not lame. A little behind the times but that's okay, too. :) |
| from bazling : |
| Yes, Poolie darling, I am indeed headed your way. Not sure when, but it's looking like soon! I'll email you when I get out there. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Not sure how often you check my diary, but....I just dedicated an entry to you. Big Hug. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| I'll email you with the answer. |
| from yihatepeople : |
| I think Obama sucks, of course that is just my opinion. Pirates however are pretty cool. |
| from casa-rosie : |
| Hmmm...now haloscan is messing with YOUR comments! Anyway, I still like the idea of getting a big bus or motorhome and traveling cross country and filming the whole shebang and having someone like the Discovery Channel buy the rights. Then we COULD go and do what we like! |

| from curiouoso : |
| Hey there Matey, Yeah that quote sure turns me on NOT. Mount got me too. It sounds like a dry english sex manual, "Insert pole into mount HERE. Vigorous movement then yields results." The drowned wet kitten ???? I guess that's what happens when those silly pussys go diving for oysters???? Now look what you did to me on a Sunday morning! It must be some kind of sin, somewhere. When did Wild Rosie lock up? Nici mentioned she was thinking of having a get together for Dlanders later this year and I wanted to contact her and get counted in on that. Curiouoso* |
| from bazling : |
| Thank you, Poolie! I'm keeping my nose to the grindstone this weekend. |

| I work in a pharmacy and those nasal irrigation things are quite popular, although we dont sell anything that looks like a miniature watering can with a phallic spout. One of our girls tried using one and the water ended up blasting out of her tear ducts. oh the hilarity. on another note, i want to share a link with you that i think you'll get a kick out of :) - http://www.wintrest.com/how-background-people-ruin-your-photos/ |
| from newlywedblis : |
| I found you through a banner and figured I should let you know I'm reading since I've been clicking back through your archives. Not looking for anything in particular, just like your writing and found it interesting. :) |
| from nccountry : |
| seems like you got a pretty cool job! |
| from whystinger : |
| I stopped by to read - again. After the latest, I figured I would leave a note, even though I usually only read one or two... Poola, hmmm, is that any relation to Pooler, GA? |
| from monkeymom : |
| Hi, I was wondering if you could contact Nancy - Chaos Daily - for me? I see she has passworded her journal, and if it's not TOO private, I wondered if you could have her contact me with the PW. What's going on over there?? - Thanks, Audrey |
| from diary--user : |
| Unless you already play, you should play puzzle pirates! It's a downloadable game for free or subscribing, and you play puzzle games to do different pirate activities. You can also play poker or hearts or sword fight or brawl. It is a lot of fun. If you do sign up, put me in there please! I get pieces of eight for recruiting! My name is Katy, my username is Katyland and my pirate name is Katyh. Thanks! |
| from ashwink14 : |
| WHOO! Yarr! I received the Whistle! :D Thank you! |

| Can you try it again? I just re-entered the passwords. |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Cool, thanks! :) I had almost forgot about that! Look forward to receiving it. :D |
| from janedoe0 : |
| Hi Poolie! Thanks for the comment over at my blog. (SleepyJane) I'm loving your journal too! I'll definitely check back! |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Agreed. It's so stressful annoying. |

| What? Why? Who are the religious freaks in green?! Were they Scientologists? |

| from nicim : |
| HA HA....I seem to always be at the center of SOME controversy, don't I? I wonder what Julie would think if she knew I was baptized by immersion when I was 12 through a Southern Baptist church (where you actually have to go "up front" and choose, and confirmed as a Christian member of the Evangelical church at 13 (my dad's church - so it seemed only fair). I made my religious choices as an adult...and actually I'm not a true atheist, more an agnostic who believes in something, just not the whole Trinity (I'd say hocus-pocus but don't want to offend anyone). Hmmm...maybe there's a DL entry in there after all!!!!! Love ya you old piratey pirate you, N |

| Are you OK? Has the storm gotten to you yet? It is an intense storm. Hope it gets "tired" before it gets south... |

| Hey you sailor-grrl, be careful out there, okay? Watch out for gulley-washers and flying debris. Big hug to you. -me |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Merci! I'm glad you liked the comment. Hehe. |
| from fairygodmum : |
| I'm glad this Halloween was fairly quiet except for the 5.7 earthquake the day before. People often herd hoards of kids into the better neighborhoods around here. My street is pretty quiet. Haven't gotten one trick or treater in years. Even after last year I put a ghost out front and had pumpkins, candles and a scary costume complete with witches brew/hot ice. Only had some 20 yr olds going to a party and I had to force candy on them. Still I decorated with pumpkins and candles for those roaming spirits.. hehehe Hugz n Lub, Bebe da FairyGodMum |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Thank you! That's too bad about the e-card though. Still, it's the thought that counts. Lots of love! |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Thanks. And Whit appreciates it too, I'm sure. |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Thanks. I think in a way it's just as big as a devastating loss of her as Steve Irwin's death was for Animal Planet. I mean, Steve Irwin's shows were one of the major shows of Animal Planet. And, Meerkat Manor is probably their best show currently. I'm pretty much in a mourning feel right now, though. Like I was with the Harry Potter series and Kim Possible series, but with one major difference, the characters on Meerkat Manor are living things. I suppose that's one of the reasons I don't watch reality tv. Because I get emotionally attached to stuff that I watch, read, etc. Anyways, thanks for the sympathy and hug. :) |
| from torchstar : |
| Did you like the Niagara Falls webcam I posted in your comments? It's great to look at anytime time of day... |
| from ashwink14 : |
| I've already got plans for my birthday, and it's definitely crazy. Should be interesting. I'm not disclosing them on my diary just yet, because I want it to be a surprise. I like surprises. I want people to be like, "Whoa! I can't believe that!" Heh. |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Thanks! I've had that shirt for years (never worn it in public, but I love it, so I've kept it just to keep it), plus now I've find it reminds me of Jack Sparrow. LOL. My favorite television series had a pirate episode the week before the 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean came out and... seriously within 2 hours of having seen the episode (it was awesome to see my favorite fictional characters being pirate-y), I searched the net and found some website selling some of that stuff, so I got myself a bandana and an eyepatch! When I saw AWE the week following, I was so excited to be wearing a pirate bandana to it. The things I do that are geeky.... hehe! arrgh matey! |
| from ashwink14 : |
| I just noticed you added me as a favorite! Awesome! :D Am I really the youngest person to read your blog? I mean, I'm practically 20. Anyways, yeah, I love t-shirts. I can't stand the fashions of the day for my age group, so t-shirts are good for me. Plus, it's fun to wear stuff that sort of shows you who you are... only on a shirt! :D |
| from bazling : |
| Thank you, darling! I'm ecstatic to be back. Kisses! |

| I do tend to have that effect on people. The random-food-eruptions effect. Well...not really, but now I can say that I do since it happened to you while reading my diary! Hehe. |
| from batten : |
| Awww, tell me now? I need a bit of happy today. |
| from zencelt : |
| So far they haven't excommunicated me or tried to save me. I'm not sure what's up there. I did, however, feel very much like barfing when I left their house. So maybe they managed to exorcise me ;)) |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Yeah, I do too. Although, Rowling would have to write them. Because if somebody else did it... it just wouldn't feel right. I know there's a sequel to Gone With the Wind out there by somebody other than Miss Mitchell (who died a few years after her book came out anyway) and I've never attempted to read it. I just wouldn't feel right. It would be comparable to kidnapping. Though, as a fan, I'd prolly read anything Harry Potter related for the rest of my natural born life. |
| from ashwink14 : |
| LOL. Literally like less than five minutes after I replied, I got my copies. I'm now in a state of excitement and unbelievable terrifiedness. But, hey, it's all good. |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Whooohoo! |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Yeah, my feelings on the final Harry Potter book are all over the place. Apprehension, scared, sad, nervous, excited. I'm so excited to see what happens, but also sad. I'm so sure that Harry's gonna die. But, knowing me, I'll cry throughout reading the entire thing. |

| For Church (when I used to go), we made sock puppets, and I decided I was going to make a priest sock puppet. It was black, and it had super long brown hair in a braid. Our pastor allowed us to do a snippet of a sermon with our sock puppets... Anyway, I do encourage you to come by Pheonix's circle, or even join and write some yourself. You've excellent skills! Very humorous writing too. I loved it. |

| from diary--user : |
| Thanks for the advice! I really want to keep my diary into college, plus I have just paid for six months of gold membership, so I want my money's worth. I have a bad habbit of starting a diary and not continuing with it for very long, but I am hoping to break that cycle. I love HTML and my diary makes for a very nice outlet of my skill. I am very much looking forward to college, I have a countdown coming up on my site soon, so check that out. |
| from diary--user : |
| It is a small world! I am going to be going there in the fall to major in computer science. Where in Iowa are you from? I'm from the northwest corner in Pocahauntus county. |
| from tampaxofdoom : |
| so i stumbled upon your diary and saw you had your car broken into. you see, my car was broken into as well. The person smashed my window and took the time to unscrew my dashboard and remove my $400 stereo. You see, there are about 300 cameras where I work, and the one right by where I was parked didn't catch any of this because it was pointed straight at the ground the entire time...lame. just thought i'd share my story with you. XD |
| from torchstar : |
| DMV is such a circus! They are right on the ball when it comes to vehicle registration- They send the smog test demand every 2 years, etc. But imagine this- they haven't sent my driver's license renewal in 4 years- I'm a scofflaw with an expired license because they don't share street address info between the 2 DMV departments. What a weird way to run an office! I'm grateful you didn't have your picture taken for your license today- that would be a total drag. |
| from for-you-only : |
| I was actually just browsing diaries, and yours looked cool, so I read it... and tada! So what do you think of my Writer's Group? |
| from green-kiwis : |
| Yay for Iowa! Wish I was there with you :) |
| from yankee-chick : |
| Thanks for the diary advice! I think you answered my biggest concern. Just copy everything and I'll be safe...OK! I've just never worked with HTML until I hit DLand so I'm a little skiddish about messing around much, but tonight I'm gonna mess around like crazy!! Woo Hoo!!! Thanks Poolie! |
| from yankee-chick : |
| Has anyone told you lately how awesome you are??!?! You make me laugh and smile everyday and always have the nicest & supportive things to say! I love you, man!!!!!!!! Seriously, thanks my friend. |

| okay on the net today weekend right Lori sleeping cant clean apartment right now Pirates lets see what do i remember okay there was this actual female pirate who had her own bloody ship right and remember all this only went on for a short period in naval history in the seventeen hundreds when all those battles kept the british ships busy from chasing pirates anyway this female pirate liked this shirt that one of her male crew had and she killed him for that shirt I dont remember reading if she asked for it or he said Not today deary or anything else Just that she liked the shirt I thought here it is four hundred years later and literature has kept preserved this one incident in a busy day aboard a tall sailing vessel Four hundred years and there it was in black and white for me to read could say she had "balls" ..O.. |

| Hey, Thanks for the message! I figured out ages ago to imagine even weirdos like Mr Trouble get everything they want. Then they wouldn't want to take it from someone else (or destroy it). I hope the berries are OK. But isn't that picture with the butt crack hilarious! I had no idea when I took that photo the crack was in it. He is our neighborhood crack problem. Yargh! |

| *sigh* Ok, I guess I'll forgive you - this time. :) Have fun on the rest of your trip. Love, B |
| from zencelt : |
| Goes to show you how far back into the wayback machine even my ultra modern friends are. So sad... |
| from batten : |
| Awww. Thank you (blush) I love it here and all the folks I've met through this place. It's like finding Callahan's Cross-time Saloon. Which if you haven't read, you should. Anyway. Big hug to you, woman. -J |
| from la-the-sage : |
| GAH! Your comments insist I'm a spammer! For like over a week now! I adore you as much as ever, please don't be mad I haven't been chiming in. How are your run-over feet? Thank goodness you have giant clown shoes to wear until the swelling goes down. ~LA |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Hey Poolie, I'll be at the museum tomorrow with new hubby for a luncheon.....big hat, Model T.....I look forward to seeing you. BTW...termites??? Try "Adios Pest Control"....cheaper than any others I've found and do great work. Big Hug! |
| from boxx9000 : |
| ♥ HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY ♥ |
| from mahvalicious : |
| BTW - did you happen to see the life story of Johnny Depp on the Biography Channel the other night? That was SO interesting and I certainly came away with a new respect for the man. I've always liked him, but now even more!! |
| from mahvalicious : |
| Your entry on meeting Daniel Berrigan intrigued me so I looked him up on the internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Berrigan He's led quite a life!! |
| from artgnome : |
| Points for you in finding the naked lady. Now...can you recognize my dear friend, B? I will give you a hint...mmm...mmmm...mmmm...mmmm. |
| from niceguymike : |
| It may be a small thing for you, but the cheerleading is really making a difference for me! I'm currently at 5.75 days and counting; this is the longest I've quit for in YEARS. But, man, those cravings are TOUGH. |
| from mangofarmer : |
| Migraines suck. I hope you feel better. |
| from ashwink14 : |
| Thanks for the welcoming into your d-ring. Good luck reading through 5 years of diary entries (I just celebrated my 5th anniversary with a Dland diary). I see from your front page you like Johnny Depp as a pirate. Me too! Hehe. I think I might look forward to reading your diary, myself! ;D |
| from niceguymike : |
| I really appreciate the encouragement! Today wasn't as tough (largely because it wasn't as stressful), but I still got hit with cravings at odd moments. Looking forward to getting past most of that. |
| from niceguymike : |
| Thanks, sweetie. I know yesterday was relatively easy for some reason, and my downtime at home was a little difficult. Right now, I'm getting through the minutes and celebrating the hours! |
| from zencelt : |
| You bet if I had one hanging off the back of my truck, I'd be hanging there with it. But then...I don't do such things... Heh, heh. |
| from niceguymike : |
| The good impression thing was nice, but the key is "Will it get me laid?" Oh, and I forgot to mention that her dessert was far superior to mine: a chocolate upside-down souffle. I thought about getting spinach as a side, but settled for the spinach salad (without egg) like I always do. That little chocolate dessert is on my list now, though! |
| from artgnome : |
| and how kind of you to add me as well. nice to meet you poola! :) |
| from bazling : |
| Muito obrigado, meu amigo! |
| from batten : |
| I loved that. Dancing in the shower. Hee. Awesome. Thanks. Made my day just a whole lot better. Big hug. -me |
| from batten : |
| I was damn lucky to get out alive. A couple of Chinese gybes nearly destroyed the rig but I was too much of a newbie to understand the potential for disaster. It was a wicked fun ride, though. Nothing like being on the knife-edge to make you feel purely alive and invincible, y'know? For a smart girl, I am very very very dumb sometimes. |
| from radiogurl : |
| No worries about missing my birthday. It was lovely and if I remember right, I even got to talk to you that night! |
| from batten : |
| T'sint even mine. It's a SEAL thing from Viet Nam from Richard Marcinko. It's play on words with a phrase in Vietnamese... Dhu Mahn yu or there about... means basically the same thing ... |
| from niceguymike : |
| I admit it; I'm busted. I've said it to every single pirate I read on Diaryland: Cap'n Poola. |
| from niceguymike : |
| If you weren't such a bad-ass pirate, I'd say that was a really sweet thing to write in. And, for the record, I think you're probably the nicest person on D-land. Almost every entry shows you doing something for someone or giving pleasure to others by giving us a laugh or because you have such a positive attitude. |
| from justmeltaway : |
| Thanks a bunches! Feel free to comment on any entries that I post. Help, concerns, and questions are wanted. That's another reason why I got this diary. |
| from smedindy : |
| Hey, thanks for the add. I feel honored! |
| from ms-do : |
| Thanks Poolie i am around really i am....smile |
| from bazling : |
| So my email changed a few months back and I didn't get around to updating it until recently, so I had all these lovely messages from you! I got to read them all at once! It was like Christmas a month and a half early! Yay! Yay for Poola and her Christmasing skills! |
| from uncleal : |
| Holy Moly! I just read your 100 things... It's like you were the me that was born when I should have been!!! We totally have to talk more! |
| from niceguymike : |
| Gosh, I wouldn't want to deprive you of the intense experience of drinking aged Boone's Farm. Let's don't and say we did. |
| from zencelt : |
| I'm finding now if I push the back button, I can see the other posts that were coming up blank. What a pain in the arse. Love ya Babe! Happy T-day! |
| from niceguymike : |
| YOU, my dear, are a gift to pretty much everyone who crosses your path; my paltry additions to my family's life are miniscule, by comparison -- but thanks! At the minimum, it's a mutual blessing. I feel really grateful to be able to have them in my life. |
| from radiogurl : |
| Dang woman... a pen pal from prison? You're associating with the modern-day REAL equivalent of pirates. *Wipes away tear of pride* I'm so impressed... (By the way, Diaryland wouldn't let me use your comments section. I guess you must have pissed Andrew off or something.) |
| from batten : |
| I guess it's the least I can do after beating the shite out of her, huh? One of these days she'll hang around when I've actually got time to write as it strikes me/her, bleah whatever. Sailing season is over here for the most part. It's nice to read about your time on the water, though. Hope all is well and the scary co-wrker has calmed down. Peace out, woman. -J |
| from kitchenlogic : |
| It's 1:30 in the morning your time. Don't you ever sleep?! |
| from uncleal : |
| Hey, I just stumbled on to your page by accident, but I was overjoyed to find a pirate! My best girlfriend and I actually got the jolly roger tattooed on our big toes as proof positive that we were indeed pirates. Of course our friendship didn't last, but my love of all thing "treasure" remains fully intact. Ahoy, mate! |
| from niceguymike : |
| First, I was merely impressed. Then, intrigued. Now, captivated. Next year, I WILL sign up for NaNoWriMo. I think that's the sort of thing a four-day delay could be fatal in. Besides, I'm totally going to relax this weekend. But NEXT year ... |
| from mahvalicious : |
| I'd ship that little Rocky right out to you for companionship for Bullwinkle, but he's far to much entertainment for Lovely Daughter's white kitty, Hercules. He sits in the window with whiskers twitching, tail tip wiggling and chirps coming from his throat (snicker). Actually, it's really not my squirrel to ship - don't know where he lives. I got this series in an email this a.m. |
| from nudeplatypus : |
| Thank you for your kind compliment. Frankly, I think trombone solos should be used more often, because what is better than a trombone solo? |
| from fairygodmum : |
| Oh I LOVE Unusual Art... and that's coming from a like artist! Hugz, Bebe da FairyGodMum |
| from mahvalicious : |
| What a wonderful, caring person you are. And what a great way to start your day. Thanks for the accolades for Ole and Lena. |
| from mangofarmer : |
| Poola! Such profanity! Heh I like it. :) |
| from mahvalicious : |
| Snort! Captain Panty Liner - I missed that one. Still hillarious any way you look at it. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| ill see what i can do on your bowling badge.. mail me your info! |
| from hissandtell : |
| WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR DIARY, poola? First I couldn't get in at all, then I couldn't get to the bottom of your profile to leave a note, and now I can't even leave a comment. So, damn it, I won't. Love, R xxx |
| from bazling : |
| Happy National Talk Like a Pirate Day, Poola baby! I'm not good enough at it, so I'll leave it up to you. Enjoy! |
| from batten : |
| Not really but thanks for the kind words. I was just too young, stupid, stubborn and proud to ask for help back then. (wry grin) The matching dog/owner orange outfits thing just killed me this morning. Good one, babe. Peace out. -J |
| from mugwhump : |
| I agree. Drawing the line MUST be done well before one thinks about matching outfits with your pet. In by the word "pet" I include husband. I fully give you permission to make me walk the plank if I ever dress in that fashion! |
| from zencelt : |
| Hi Poola! Thanks for the note. How in the world can you tell how many entries you have? |
| from chaosdaily : |
| rumor has it that reg's mother split when they were very small... the drugs called her. dude laughed because he knew it would happen sooner or later. reg has been in jail several times already... |
| from reese219 : |
| Thank you so much for that note. It really made me feel better. |
| from crotchety : |
| How come you know what we're up to?? *Hides key to Shine Celler* Who sez we're up to anythin at all, Capn Pie-rat, hmmm??? |
| from vibinghigh : |
| Hi, thank you for the note and nice comment! :-) |
| from bazling : |
| Poola, my darling, I thought of you today in my very first class of my junior year of college. Our teacher had a baby at the end of last semester and they named him Cyrus, and my friend Charlotte said it made him sound like a pirate. So there's a new generation to carry on in your wake! |
| from niceguymike : |
| Thanks for the comment on the template, although it was kind of a mistake. I was doing some completely different thing, and my other template and all the personalized stuff got wiped somehow. I might keep this design, but try to figure out how to get all the custom stuff back in. The next time I have several hours in which I don't have anything else to do. |
| from berrycreme : |
| Thanks! =) |
| from zencelt : |
| For your peace of mind, I should tell you that my first assumption was that it was the invite that was horrid ; ) There. Your virtue is firmly intact. At least your swinger virtue. LOL! |
| from yarnsmith : |
| Hubby turned 55 on Wednesday...I kept joking asking him if he wanted to go somewhere and get the Senior discount...He was not amused. |
| from niceguymike : |
| Wow! Thank you! MWAH! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| he knows how to make his own food, and i dont mind doing it for him... its the attitude i get because he "doesnt like people talking to him". i cant decide if i should act like him, or continue to be an adult and just try to ride it out. |
| from batten : |
| Yes but is the note too harsh? Not harsh enough? No doubt I'm doing the right thing by calling it all off (whatever the "it" was in the first place) but you're the WRITER here... FEEDBACK, woman! I need feedback. Belay the pirate talk for a mo', willya? (grin) |
| from namastesakhi : |
| omg, that pirate movie was TOO funny! definitely a good find! |
| from namastesakhi : |
| omg, that pirate movie was TOO funny! definitely a good find! |
| from mahvalicious : |
| Thanks for the input on my most recent posting. We have discussed many of these issues previously, but she still thinks she can make it work. I hope to God that she can. My heart breaks. |
| from fairygodmum : |
| I finally saw the Pirates Dead Man Chest movie today. Had to go see it on the big screen. They really tried to pack in a lot of dialog, that I'll have to rent it just to fully understand what they were saying. Thanks for the GoodLuckJob Wishes Too! Hugz n Lub, Bebe da FairyGodMum |
| from mahvalicious : |
| Hey - thanks for all the positive comments on the Life of Ole and Lena. Glad you enjoy it. I haven't had a chance to read your diary yet, as we're currently parked in a Flying J Travel Plaza fueling Old Bessie. We're on the road from Sheridan to Sturgis - but I'm anxious to read you as soon as I get the chance. Stay tuned! |
| from lumenatrix : |
| Thank you! It actually has been a lot of fun figuring out how to make it do what I want. It would probably go faster if I read the directions, but who has time for that?! :) |
| from niceguymike : |
| Thanks! And the puppy pictures are updated now. And don't forget to send in your suggestions for front license plates! I bet you'd come up with a good one, although you're probably all in favorite of having a pirate there. |
| from mangofarmer : |
| You think I'm strange? That is the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day. Nicer even than the librarian saying "If you like this book ("The Other Boleyn Girl"), there is a new book about Anne Boleyn in the case that you should check out." Heh. :) Happy Fourth! |
| from niceguymike : |
| Sure! The only question: who can run faster from snakes? The loser will probably get bitten. That probably means me. |
| from just2cusmile : |
| i see you got the ticker for captain jacks return!!! my oldest son is driving me nuts with his count down-he is going crazy waiting!! |
| from radiogurl : |
| I found this site tonight and knew you HAD to be told: http://www.officepirates.com/ |
| from zencelt : |
| When I was a kid and lived on a farm, we had an in ground pool that stayed covered until summer. One year, the cover had filled with water, and thousands of tadpoles were born on it. They grew up to be very loud, obnoxious frogs that stayed closeby when we opened the pool, and hopped in when they got warm. Which made for many dead frogs in the pool on a daily basis. The next year, we gathered the tadpoles in buckets and dumped them in a stream nearby... |
| from niceguymike : |
| I bet *that* would make a great DL entry! Reminds me of the pastor of my old church. When my wife and I had arranged to be married by him, he called me up one day and asked, "When are you getting married again?" "April 3rd", I replied. "Oh, good," he said, "I expect to be out of jail by then." He did a lot of nuclear protests, among other things, and almost always got arrested. |
| from yarnsmith : |
| You're not the only one who falls asleep in the movies. As a matter of fact I dozed off last night only to be awakened by an elbow in the ribs. The DiVinci Code didn't help me stay awake either. Still, you must go to the drive in before the pleasure is gone for good. |
| from batten : |
| ya think? I thought it was pretty tacky breaking up via email but he didn't leave me any choices. He's a really good bowman but there's not much else to him right now. Divorces are messy and when they turn you into emotional zombies it takes time before you're ready for dating... Anyhoo. Thanks for the vote of confidence, woman. Go Pirates! |
| from just2cusmile : |
| thanks for the hugs and good vibes!! i have the same problem crashing on the couch with my lil blankie... |
| from chaosdaily : |
| celebrity? he couldnt care less. he earned his school numerals last year (the ones you put on the lettermans jackets) and he threw them away. |
| from just2cusmile : |
| yeahhhh its great to know that im not the only one who puts her slippers on the wrong feet-you know whats sad-i didnt bother to change them to the right feet!!! lol i had to go do car swap in the driveway early in the morning-im suprised i could drive!! :) |
| from niceguymike : |
| Hmpf. That's just the sort of sentiment I would expect from someone who has a pirate pinata! (Seriously, thanks. I'm just having a pissy day.) |
| from fairygodmum : |
| Theater is in your bones.. WISH and You Shall Receive! Hugz, Bebe da FairyGodMum |
| from chaosdaily : |
| and you heard me say "vacation" too! |
| from yarnsmith : |
| Snarpflog: the gasious cloud that hits you when someone else farts. When you smell the pungent odor left by another you say "I've been snarpflogged." |
| from niceguymike : |
| Actually, duh for me and yay for YOU! I just didn't make the connection all these years. I don't think confirmation classes really get into that whole Jewish thing. |
| from her-story : |
| Welcome to the land of contract negotiations. Since my university is a state school, they are currently fighting w/ the capital about courses and things like that. I sent an email telling him that Prof. Weasel is annoyed... and PROMPTLY the man responded to EVERY email... hence, I wonder when the squeaky wheel benefits. Anyway, I plan on laying it out for him today... either dedicate time to helping me or I'm getting another advisor. Its not like there's a HUGE amt of choices in my department... |
| from evababy777 : |
| thank you! |
| from shiloh26 : |
| Thank you! I was worried about it being hard on the eyes. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| kind of like the waltons.. only we dont always get along together as well |
| from fluttrbykiss : |
| Yeh... A cookbook... That I get to type ALL by my self!!! Mmmwwwhhhaaaaaaa... Fun times!! Thanks for the note.. Loved you last entry... (((hugs))) |
| from niceguymike : |
| I almost hate to admit this, but I *have* a pocket protector. |
| from zencelt : |
| Thank for the cake Poola! I'll eat it tonight after I've digested all this lunch! |
| from zencelt : |
| Oh my God!!!! I was so pissed before I read your Papal dinner entry. That was so freakin' funny! |
| from serenaville : |
| Thank you yet again, for your incredible support. It brings more comfort than you can know. No one ever said life was fair, but no one really prepares you for JUST HOW goddamned unfair it can be. Dizzying. *HUGS!!!* |
| from serenaville : |
| Miss Poola, please know how very much I appreciate your sweet support of Erianne and her sister, during this unfortunate time. It means quite a bit to me. I'm convinced the help truly makes a difference. Thanks again. *HUGS!!!!!!* |
| from andreadoria : |
| Well...you got me 'hooked'. I'm new, so bear with me. Not sure what I'm doing and how 'in' to it I'll be. I've read some of your diaries and hear your voice throughout. |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| Sorry, Poolagirl! I really wasn't on Pogo last night. I finished playing and the site didn't close down properly. Baby Girl told me that she saw that I was still logged in last night. I wonder if I'm still playing??? And hopefully winning??? |
| from yarnsmith : |
| Thankyou for the note. I try to convince my husband every day that it's time for her to go into a home but the two of them have the ultimate say in this. It took me years to convince them that she shouldn't be living on her own. She does have about 30,000.00 left and I think both of them are not wanting to part with it (I keep wondering if she is planning to take it with her)...I know my husband would like to have a little something when she goes, but sometimes when someone lives so long, that is not possible. I think some people have gotten into an inheritance mentality and think it is a right rather than a blessing. In my own selfish way, I was having evil thoughts thinking that maybe this stroke would cause whatever neeed to happen to have the doctor say, "She can't go home"...unfortunately, they are recommending she come home with us because we have a full time care giver available. Sigh. Until then, I will continue to mention to my husband that we need to start looking at homes. |
| from just2cusmile : |
| thanks poola for the kind words you wrote me-life can change on a dime thats for sure!! |
| from dangerspouse : |
| << You called me and I was ironing my pants. >> Er..."ironing" is a euphemism for "creaming", right? Heh. Awww, thanks for such a sweet note, Pie Rat! Really, that was an ego stroke on a massive scale. I can't believe you even remembered I called! So few women do *sigh*..... |
| from niceguymike : |
| Yay! I'd even lay in some Blue Bunny ice cream for you! |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| "Yeah, I can feel it already - the urge to go explore new places and meet interesting people." I feel it too. If only I could get over my fear of flying. Right now, I just want to go back to New Orleans. My soul lives in that city! Those people are my people. Thanks too for the note and the support. I feel badly for Joe though, I just feel like I shouldn't get involved with anyone seriously right now. |
| from nicim : |
| 3/11 don't give him the bird!! AAAWWW HA HA!! You are the funniest pirate I know!! Love you too sweetie XXOO N |
| from postalpriss : |
| Hey Poola, Shucks, thanks for the props! (blushing) "You do like me......YOU REALLY DO!!!!!" We'll talk later gal. |
| from ms-do : |
| Thanks Poola glad to be reinstated on the fav list! |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| I can read your diary now from home. I'm very happy. |
| from wench77 : |
| hey, wenchie here... have you heard anything from or about mom-on-roof?? Haven't you met her live and all? Can you phone her? Is she still alive? Oh, I miss her and worry. Thanks for any leads you can give. |
| from sunshine0221 : |
| Poola you are fast!! I think you sent note before I had entry posted. And thanks for the info!! Beats Pig&%#@er for sure! |
| from batten : |
| WHOA! I totally missed something here. Some asshat was writing you nasties? Can we flame him? Puleeeeeze? -J |
| from zencelt : |
| Hey Poola! Have a kick ass time in Vegas Baby! |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| Why oh why does your text not show up when I go to read it? I just want you to know I hope you're doing well. Many hugs and warm thoughts, Missy. |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| I would love it if you would look me up in Pogo. My handle is MNLady1962. Pretty different, eh? LOL! What be yours? |
| from dangerspouse : |
| Yeah, yeah. Cast all the vile aspersions you want about my lack of masculinity. The welder's gloves really ARE mine. I got them to protect my hands, which are delicate and kept getting singed while trying to light our wood burning stove. Because I'm not much of a man. There, I said it. Are you happy now? Happy Birthday, bitch. |
| from zencelt : |
| Happy Birthday Week Poo-girl! |
| from nicim : |
| 2/12 Happiest of Happies my dearest Poolagirl!! I'm thinking of you today - and wishing dear "Findlay" could celebrate with you - seeing as how he is on the Pacific side this week. But, alas, pirates have seas to sail, and mayhem to plan, and towns to raid, and maidens to ravage (hmmm, he better not!!). I have the picture we took in the bar after the play right here on my desk - and I'm throwing a kiss your way. MMMMMWWWWAAAA!! XXOO N |

| from arc-angel666 : |
| To a fellow Pirate and one who shares the same birthday (February 12th), HAPPY BIRTHDAY POOLA! I was wondering what I could do special for your birthday when it hit me, I'll send someone special to your home! I thought how wonderful it would be if I came over and brought the man with the special talent from Borders Book Store to your birthday party. Being that we are barely in our thirties(small lie)and its both of our birthdays this man could fart happy birthday to us, unfortunately I couldn't find him. Darn! Well, anyway HAPPY BIRTHDAY POOLA! |
| from yarnsmith : |
| Thankyou for your thought, prayers and comment. It is comforting to hear from someone who understands the situation first hand. I have always thought of nursing homes as the last place you would want to put a loved one and it helps to hear you say that it is a good place for her to be. |
| from zencelt : |
| What a cool entry today. I got such a sweet visual of you as a kid, your imagination came alive in your journal today. |
| from reese219 : |
| Hi Poola. Hey, what you said really touched me. I am so glad that I have wonderful friends here on diaryland that I can count on to listen to my ramblings.LOL Just keep updating your journal. That always puts a smile on my face.Take care |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Dearest Poola: Your entries are favorites of many in my family. When your entry on the 29th appeared and it was read aloud, it was unanimous it was to be the skit that brought in the New Year. It was performed in the big room at the Farm to a packed crowd. Had this little Farm in Connecticutt been in NYC this Night, it would have been the hit of Broadway :-) Sweetheart thanks for all the kind words and prayers for my Son Sean, they mean more to me than I can express, thank you. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| i think shes afraid to tell us about her grades from last semester.. i even wonder if she passed her classes. i get the impression she skipped a lot of them.... |
| from reese219 : |
| POOLA! You can sing your hind end off lady! I just heard a clip over at Art's page. I was wondering if you had other songs and where I can get them? My e-mail is [email protected] |
| from jehsika : |
| that would be pirate stuff...not pirated, not meaning to imply you nicked anything |
| from jehsika : |
| Oh, I'm so pleased to be able to join rings again, I'm such the attention whore and hated being locked. And I'm liking your pirated stuff, chickadee...and I'm so entirely jealous that you used to sing with a band...sigh...I'd love to do that, I love the emotional high of singing (even by myself...like, in the shower) but my reality is I know very little about music and my voice...not so great. Very little range. Please excuse the sucky archives page...I'm getting stuff fixed for public viewing but my laptop has a cracked LCD and it's very fustrating trying to work on a 1/3 of the screen, so I've neatened up the main page but haven't tabled up the arhives yet, they really need it. Thanks! |
| from bornearly : |
| Thank you for such a sweet entry, and one that eerily reminds me of my own life, though you have something to teach me about appreciating the road and savoring the experience. I wish we could sit down and talk sometime! :) |
| from scotvalkyrie : |
| TAG! You're it! Go visit my diary to get the details. |
| from sunshine0221 : |
| I was trying to leave a quite brilliantly written comment on your latest entry and Diaryland decided I was a spammer. WTF? |
| from boxx9000 : |
| MERRY CHRISTMAS 2005!!!! |
| from becahh : |
| Merry Christmas Miss Poola! Thank you for the laughs. |
| from h2ophobic : |
| Merry, merry, merry Christmas! Thanks for all the moments of laughter you've brought into my life this year! |
| from dangerspouse : |

| from amedeah : |
| Desdemonia ;) |
| from sparkspark : |
| Thank you so much, Ms. P! I'm looking forward to hearing the Keelhauler's take on the event, once he sets foot on shore. And in other news, I wore your hat for the holiday regatta here, and I believe it helped our crew beat Dr. Laura's boat in the second race. (They corrected out ahead of us, but we got the bullets.) XO Violet |
| from niceguymike : |
| You are just too darned sweet, Miss Poola. Oh, and speaking of sweet, when I was visiting my folks for Thanksgiving, I noticed they have BLUE BUNNY ICE CREAM in their freezer! Next time I'm on an ice cream kick, I'll have to get some. |
| from wendell77 : |
| Hey, I never thanked you for the note a while back! Here's your shout-out from MN, and I hope you're basking in warmth right now for all of us in 20 degrees land. Thanks for looking at my blog! |
| from zencelt : |
| Assholia's kinda carnyish. Wanna come see? We even have a bearded lady. |
| from shiloh26 : |
| How are you doing, Poola? Thanks, for the compliments. *smiles* This time I wanted something with an Asian look with stripes, something clean and simple. I'm really glad you like my writing. It means a lot. |
| from bornearly : |
| I especially like the note at the top of the package: "Really Works!" Unlike those other barrels of monkeys that don't. |

| Well, here's a bonus adventure, just for you. When I was driving through Iowa (which is MUCH hillier than anyone ever told me it was), I saw a Blue Bunny truck, and thought of you! |
| from mpeacock : |
| YOu can reach me through mpeacock sammo. The latest entry was a rant though, go back at least one or two to get a better picture of me. I am not going to write tonight, cuz it would be another rant on a different subject, school. I want to know more about Peter Pan! |
| from candoor : |
| you make the flying spaghetti monster proud :) |
| from sparkspark : |
| Thank you so much, Ms. P. I appreciate your kind words. XO Violet |
| from pinkdaisy5 : |
| It was the banner that caught me and then it was those cute pups in the pirate hats (argh!) and then I saw johnny and the rest is history. |
| from gumphood : |
| I liked you banner pool girl. Thats pretty good too because no one is running banners right now! |
| from nimiiwin : |
| Thanks for stopping by CNC's website! Check back in a few months. We're doing some major renovations around here with a new logo and branding "stuff." The website will be spiffed up. |
| from hibiscus101 : |
| **HAPPY HALLOWEEN** |
| from yarnsmith : |
| Thanks for the wood buring tip Poola, I'm gonna take your advice. Sure enjoyed reading your entries about Journalcon, you sound like a fun gal. |
| from desdemonia : |
| hey ! I'm glad you liked the package. It's definitely not what I wanted to send at first, I was hoping to make better little care packages, but with this month being the "new job" month, I just didn't have enough extra cash to really go all out. Did my best though :) Huggles~ Marie~ |
| from fairygodmum : |
| Wish I were there with you guys! Hope you all have a Great Time together. Big Hugzzz to Everyone!!! da FairyGodMum |
| from reese219 : |
| Hi! Thanks for the note on Tigger. I really appreciate it. It really made my day a little easier knowing that y'all care. Have fun at journalcon! |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| For some reason, everything but your diary entry shows up when I go to your diary. :( |
| from nimiiwin : |
| I wish I were going to Journal Con! Looks very fun. Maybe next year I'll get to join you all. |
| from sparkspark : |
| Ahoy--hat received! It's great--Grazie mille, and all that. Photo to follow. (If I get over my horror at my new driver's license picture, that is.) Many thanks! |
| from niceguymike : |
| Thanks! I'm actually looking forward to the new things and all -- I just really don't like the things I have to do to get there! I've always found new jobs and new places to live and settling into both to be a lot of fun, but I dislike moving greatly. I asked my Dad how he dealt with it, and he said Mom always handled all of it. |
| from zencelt : |
| Thanks Poola! This is the first time I've actually looked forward to surgery. |
| from fairygodmum : |
| Ohhh.. My prayers go out to both that elderly citizen and that el stoopido driver. They should certainly outlaw talking on cel phones while driving. You are truly a good samaritan! Hugz, Bebe da FairyGodMum |
| from jellehbelleh : |
| Ha! A comrade at arms! Three cheers for Poola the Pirate! I'm adding you to my favs! Anyone who's loves pirates is a friend of mine :) |
| from sparkspark : |
| I am honored that you called me a fellow shoe whore! |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| My God Poola, I believe I've seen that Woman on America's Most Wanted. I hope that's not her I'm Happy Face ? :-) |
| from wanders : |
| Thank you for the note! :) |
| from nimiiwin : |
| Yep - living history, just like you!! :) |
| from zencelt : |
| Thank GOD I 'm allergic to fabric softener. |
| from crazy4muffin : |
| I got my hat and am totally diggin it! I love that you autographed. I feel like I have that one degree of separation from famous thing going now. I will put it with the sweat band I got from the lead guitarist during a Molly Hatchet tour in 1982. Really. It's very cool. |
| from just2cusmile : |
| that makes me want a pimped out grave site now!! lol You and "Leroy" need to go on Maury Povic to see if he is your daddy!! too funny :) |
| from fairygodmum : |
| Wish I had $10 for a Pie Rat Hat but I just can't figer out why anyone would eat Rat Pie! Hmmmm.. so let's just leave that one alone. Image stuck in my head... a rat peeping out of a pie waving on a baseball cap... Yuck Yuck.. tee hee.. Hugz Bebe, da FairyGodMum |
| from fairygodmum : |
| Only thing worse is getting your skirt stuck in your underpants and nobody tells you! tee hee... been there! Hugz Bebe da FairyGodMum |
| from sexychelle : |
| Love the diary often read but always something comes up so thought while its quiet here I will drop you a couple of lines keep up the excellant writing |
| from nimiiwin : |
| I *have* read the Cleo book! Have you read any of her others? Apparently, there are a few. |
| from zencelt : |
| Captain Hook with a stockwhip! That's pure genious... |

| Ouchers Gurlie... Hope that tendon heals real fast! Walk Tall and carry a big stick! The kids will think you are Captain Hook! tee hee.. Hugz, Bebe da FairyGodMum |
| from ladybug-red : |
| If you are wondering who has no life and has been reading through your archives all this beautiful Saturday - that would be me. I found you through a comment to Hiss and I am hooked. I am linking you so we can go steady mkay? |
| from batten : |
| truth is I've been reading you for ages outside of my buddy list and figured that was just stupid. (grin) Zen is a good friend of mine and I originally got you off her list. SO thanks and hopefully I'll have more sailing stories from here on the LeftCoast before the season ends. -J |
| from sassyfras : |
| You must really hate Keanu!! :) Ever since Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, every time I see him, no matter how serious the movie, I have to add Ted-isms to every line he says. "If you're killed in the matrix, you die here? Bogus!" I'm so glad I'm not the only one that doesn't get the appeal. Toodles! |
| from fairygodmum : |
| Do tell who had shaven their eyebrows? Sooo.. uhhh What's the Surprise? tee hee Hugz Bebe da FairyGodMum |

| Gabba gabba hey! Your guestmap finally works on my lovely, luscious laptop, so I'm all spazzed to step up for Santa Fe, here at my kick-ass new school! Love and smooches - Katness |
| from fairygodmum : |
| I've been to the Madonna Inn.... Isn't the dining area a hoot with the running stream going through the floor. Gosh I miss those smelly hotel rooms. I need a Vacation! Hugz n Lub, Bebe da FairyGodMum |
| from just2cusmile : |
| i think i like the pink one over the green one!! lol I was reading your diary the other day and my 2 sons saw it and they really like your layout-they said it was cool-my oldest son loves pirates of the carribean and johnny depp and sorry to say that everytime they see that nun/sister on tv they laugh at her and say "blind me mate"...we're all going to rot in hell!! :) |
| from just2cusmile : |
| i love the puppy pirates-they are so cute!!! |
| from her-story : |
| Oh Poolie girl... they haven't gone yet. #1 left yesterday and #2 leaves tomorrow. And, they know how to wash their own clothes... so I'm guessing that it won't be me washing their stuff when they get back at the end of the week. *GRINS* |

| from xnavygrrl : |
| :) Thanks for the note! Say hi to the pups for me.... |
| from her-story : |
| Ya well, there's A LOT that my mom doesn't know... good thing, too... b/c I'm pretty damned sure that she'd use the 'spoon' on me NOW. |
| from just2cusmile : |
| that gel pee pot is sweet!!! lol i need one of those when the hubby doesnt want to pull over for me!!! i would make a mess of it too!!! ;) |
| from awittykitty : |
| Twice now in the last two days I've pulled up your website and the text part of the page has been blank. Weird. Hope I didn't miss anything good. |
| from shiloh26 : |
| Yeah! You're getting up there too. We'll have to have some sort of celebration. ;o) |
| from zencelt : |
| I won a big, pink whistle. The prizes were pretty crappy. I guess that was so the Fire Department got as much $ as possible. Homer would have been my choice though. Everyone needs a Homer in the passenger seat of their car. |
| from zencelt : |
| Thanks for the congrats. If only I didn't ass it up at the end of the day. At least they can't take it back now! Its mine! |
| from zencelt : |
| Hey Poola! I read your entry about the dogs today and am going to go get some Vitamin E and Selenium for my pup today. She's 11 and has arthritis poor thing. I give her glucosamine and prescription meds, but the vitamins may help too. Have an arghh Day! |
| from ms-do : |
| Brain Candy....I love that poola! |
| from niceguymike : |
| Wow, I never thought of clipping it to my *socks*. You never fail to make me think, even if it's about something like where to stash a pedometer. And thanks ... I doubt I'll be able to do my walking every day, but it's good to at least do it some of the time. |
| from justvisiting : |
| Thank you for your kind words. |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Goodness Gracious! Talking to Skulls, Captain Hook, Ass Kicking Ass Kissing and smashing Trucks, damn Poola your a busy girl :-) Should you ever do the legendary Prince of Denmark Hamlet, let me know when your about to hold auditions for casting. Remember I am half Danish, speak some of the language, I a familar with the play. I would like to audition for the part of Omelet, Hamlet's lesser known brother. He sleep's with all the females in the Castle. You remember the part where Hamlet near takes his Mother? Well, Omelet does indeed sleep with her...I was wondering could you cast Angelina Jolie has Hamlet's Mother? |
| from serenaville : |
| Miss Poola!! It has been FAR too long. Thank you for your comments, and the playful slap on my ass-pirations to get going with my diary again. Aye, aye, Cap'n! There'll be no mutiny here! OR jumping ship again! Arrrrrrrrrr! Missed you and your writing more than you know. Being back is bliss! *HUGS!!* :) |
| from zencelt : |
| Boy. I sure hope your boss doesn't want one of those then and now pics to go along with the article. |
| from breathtaken1 : |
| Thanks for the tip re: festival of sail. That sounds awesome, but we can't get back then. We have a condo where our son lives during the school year, and we rent it out during the summer to help pay for it! It is booked solid through August ;( |
| from questquecest : |
| I didn't know we were having one! And I would love to go - it would be fun to meet other geniuses such as ourselves, wouldn't it? And you'd be there in charge of tourism? |
| from questquecest : |
| But of couse I added you - that's the only logical thing to do after I find your writing intriguing enough to go back and read archives. |
| from crazy4muffin : |
| Hey Poolie. I am staying at Ceasars. However, I do have my hands on some Jubilee tickets and will be seeing the show. We will play fake or real. |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Hey Poola: I'm going to send you an email tonight DON"T PUT IT IN THE SPAM BUCKET! I checked, my last 3 went through so you dumped them in the trash...what a meany :-) Yeah talking about God is tricky and you have to be careful. Today was heated to say the least, if i get the time I add a second entry on the subject tonight but until then its back to work. Yo Ho Baby:-) |
| from shiloh26 : |
| Hey, it's been one of the places i've wanted to see for ages now in San Diego. |
| from niceguymike : |
| Well, maybe they could go work in the yard or something. When they're not praying. |
| from bluemeany : |
| YAY! You joined my ring! Now there are THREE of us! What say we get drunk and pick fights with rings that are bigger than us? |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| Hi Ms. Poola. Thanks so much for the sweet note you left me when I was sick with worry over my financial situation. It means a lot! Say hi to the doggies for me.. |
| from bluemeany : |
| Yeah, why DO sandwich makers always insist on slathering extra, unwanted condiments on sandwiches? I think it's some kind of condiment conspiracy. And, shit YEAH I joined your ring! Wanna join mine? It's just me and witty so far :) |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Hi Poola: I don't know what the heck is going on but I have sent you 3 emails in the last week and nothing back from you. Please email me, its the only way I can get back to you. I need your address so I can send the stuff for your friend...a nice poster of JD and OB signed. So you got nose zapped lol? You have been in a number of my dreams, apparently You and I like to go hiking together. The Chilean desert, Grenada and the Carpatheian Mountains of Romania, whats neat we find all kinds of good stuff! And, err, well, okay you were in one naughty one too...its not my fault I can't control my dreams, if its any consolation you seemed to enjoy yourself...a lot :-) |
| from bluemeany : |
| Hmmm...I thought magic silver round letters were all the rage back in 1874...guess ya learn something new every day, huh? |
| from bluemeany : |
| That romance novels site almost made my body explode with silent laughter because I am at work and fun is forbidden. You brightened my day once again! |
| from pirategirl : |
| Hey! Thanks for stopping by, even if I'm not updating here anymore. You're welcome to stop by my livejournal! And, you rule. |
| from bluemeany : |
| Ha ha! I want a neenering frog! |
| from bluemeany : |
| The little bug thing was so weird, I loved it. You should send it to the Queen. |
| from bluemeany : |
| It's 8 hours difference from the East Coast ... so I'm guessing 11 from CA. Wow, I'm already at the end of your day. No biggie, though, not much happened. |
| from bluemeany : |
| Silly Wand Man! At least you weren't at an airport security checkpoint ... did you know it's illegal to carry fucking EVERYTHING (even lighters - except Zippos) on airplanes these days? |
| from just2cusmile : |
| i could just see you falling into the earth below you~i thought for sure you were going to say that you spooked the horses with all the lil kiddies on them and they were running wild and all the parents were freaking out~now that is my kind of luck!!! lmao |
| from goingloopy : |
| I'm glad you liked my pants...and thanks for adding me! :) |
| from sunshine0221 : |
| Yes tornados are scary! I've been in Fairfield 20+ years, and we haven't ever been hit, but yikes is right! And I also realized I need a better cat disaster plan, because they did not respect my authoritay when I told them to get into the bathroom. Now, I'd put my money on Teeny over a tornado any day, but still... |
| from zencelt : |
| Thanks Poolie! I've really enjoyed your kid and parent bashing multiple choice questions. How do you reign in the desire to throw them overboard with heavy things attached to their stinky little feet? |
| from bornearly : |
| I always enjoy your entries, but the Harriet Carter series has been delightful. (It's like putting a few adverts in between episodes.) Today's comment about the Tiki cemetery was just perfectly over the top!! :) |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Hey Ms. Poolie. You're the only other person I've heard say they too don't get the "Sweet and Sour" stuff. Geez, make up your minds! Haaaa...Check out my latest entry...little surprise. |
| from bluemeany : |
| I LOVE Abbott and Costello! That was fan-freaking-tastic, and totally brightened my life :-) |
| from forty-plus : |
| Thank you. |
| from bluemeany : |
| What a sweet lady! It makes me happy that there are still people like her in the world. On a totally different note, I see that I somewhat dominate your note-box. Neato! |
| from bluemeany : |
| Woo hoo, hooray for money from nice people! And yes, "Mississippi gaba" is yours to use whenever necessary. I believe that foreign curses should be heard by all. |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Hi Poola: Did you get my email? |
| from her-story : |
| Thanks Pooliepoo! I'll have to try that... |
| from bluemeany : |
| What a great story ... I'm a firm believer in everything happening for a reason, too. That poor girl. |
| from bluemeany : |
| Man what a shitty day ... at least you met some interesting folks. And, it's so weird to see a civilian talk about wearing civilian clothes! You were my first. (awww) -Meany |

| Ahoy! I'm workin' on me pirate lingo along with me gangsta-speak, yo! Happy Cinco de Mayo to you and the scurvy kiddies, and sorry about the coffee on your keyboard, but I have a feeling it may have wanted to be there. All destructive liquids have a yearning to visit keyboards, you know. Buenos tacos! -Meany |
| from july28 : |
| Ok, I'm not a template freak or anything, but did you know teachin-usa has the same layout as you? (forgot to mention earlier!) |
| from her-story : |
| Pookie-poola... thanks for the laugh! The key phrase: If your canyon's open for viewing... Hehe |
| from her-story : |
| Thanks poola! I'll open it when baby goes in for his nap! Asscrackholiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa lives on! |
| from dustinthwind : |
| Sounds to me like you had quite an adventurous day! Which sea do you call home, anyway? California? East coast? I'm too lazy to go and try to figure it out. :) |
| from wench77 : |
| That is really sweet! thankyou! |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Hi Poola: Sorry for not getting back sooner. I'm back at home until the 5th, then back to pirating. As soon as my luggage catches up to me I send off your treasure. I'll email you tomorrow. When i landed in San Diego I thought of you, i looked for your ship from the air but couldn't see it. See ya tomorrow. |
| from nascarwidow : |
| Hey Poola. Sorry to hear about your friend. I too just lost a wonderful friend suddenly. She was the best there was and I miss her. I've been using the private entries only lately and afraid I'd forget to click that little box with all that's on my mind and decided to just lock for a while until I can get it together. Thanks for noticeing/noticing, however it's spelled! |
| from bluemeany : |
| Avast! You are the most awesomest pirate I've ever met! I am pleased to make your acquaintance. |
| from sunshine0221 : |
| I used to meditate, but have fallen off the wagon. The funky new aginess of Fairfield is still fun. My new mission is get a picture of a bathtub grotto for the poor deprived souls who have never seen one. And glad you liked the banners. |
| from sunshine0221 : |
| OMG! I am a Poola-favorite! I have so arrived. I live on the other side of the state - Fairfield - in the SE corner. I moved here from Massachusetts, and the first time I saw a bathtub grotto I almost peed myself. |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Dear Poola: I have been to Sea on a Raider Brig and we have scored big time. I have treasure! Email me and we'll make arrangements to sail her to ya. Yo Ho. |
| from felibhat : |
| Thanks for the email! Re ladyboys and their bits - well, I used to live in Sydney and I heard that one should tuck one's tail between one's legs and sort of strap it in place with surgical tape, if one's lingerie isn't, um, supportive enough by itself. That's what I heard. I don't know if it's true. But the ladyboy prostitutes in Kings Cross sure looked convincing (and took very small steps). Ciao! Feli PS I would love to visit San Diego, just gotta finish this pesky degree... |
| from awittykitty : |
| ...and I've been meaning to say....YOU WUZ ROBBED Ms. Poola, ROBBED...in regards to the travesty that is the diarist.net awards. So you just keep practicing your speech thanking all the "little people" for your award NEXT quarter. Because I know they will see the error in their way. :-) |
| from iambucket : |
| BTW, I'm not a BIG booger!! I'm a little booger, sweet and non-itchy and non-bothersome. Little boogers don't make ya feel compelled to pick....in fact if anything little ones are fun to pick and play with! :-) |
| from supervilain : |
| Greetings, My name is Vincent Von Destruction. I am the dictator of the small Europa country Ballaria. As it is the Australis city of Morelly and its super powered inhabitants are all that stand in my way to global domination. If you are a pirate, which I'm sure you are, I would like to enlist your boat and services to smuggle a weather bending machine across the water to their fair city where I may use it to wreak my terrible brand of wrath. You will be paid handsomely of course. If you decide to help please let me know, in the meantime your diary is a good read. Thankyou in advance for your services, - Doctor Von Destruction (soon to be dictator of the world!) |
| from yarnsmith : |
| Thankyou for your sweet note and pep talk. I know that your advise it right on target. There isn't one soul who thinks I should stay and I know I shouldn't either....I just hate guilt. It is the one feeling I can't tolerate and I guess I fear it more than anything. Time to use my head though and not my guilt-o-meter. |
| from crazy4muffin : |
| There are about 50 comments floating about in cyber land I sent you. Apparently the cyber gods do not want me talking to you. In re the fantastic evaluation....I am putting a $20 on the number "5" on the roulette table as homage to your exceptional skill with the wee ones. |
| from nimiiwin : |
| Aren't you just sweet? Thanks for the nice note and the nice comment. And don't you have excellent taste in layouts yourself? :) |
| from dimstar : |
| No, you didn't overstep your bounds at all. I read your note several times, thinking of how to respond, and I guess the most appropriate thing to say would be "Thank you." I know I have to come to terms with it myself, but I just feel awful about the whole thing. Also, I admire you for speaking out for Kirsty Alley. It is shocking, what the media is doing to her. And fast food restaurants do need to quit supersizing. It is one of the major causes of the obesity epidemic coupled with heart disease in this country. I love your diary. It is amazingly brilliant and humorous. ~Gwen |

| Well Gurl.. Your Welcome to SF Anytime! My show is at New College on the last weekend in April. It's a small theater and everyone in the EPI Program will be showing.

| from nimiiwin : |
| Ah, don't worry ... you just happen to have a fan who is also a Fantasia fan. I love her! |
| from nimiiwin : |
| Hey! Fantasia is NOT off the radar screen! She just performed at the NAACP Image Awards and she won an award! She's still out there. And her CD rocks. |
| from graffitihart : |
| I saw your banner and just could not possibly resist a peek...Wonderful writer that you are, I must continue to read... |

| Thats twice you've been to my site and left a note because of one of my banners. |
| from gerg69 : |
| I even logged that cable guy entry in as a favorite entry ... thingy.... and you know, I don't think ANYONE EVEN DOES THAT ANYMORE! So ... see .... that was foonie. |
| from gerg69 : |
| Warning, You have been attached to my profile because of the cable guy thing. funny. sersly. |
| from nimiiwin : |
| Hey, Poolagirl! Did anyone ever tell you how to do the HTML to put a link in? If not, email me at nimiiwin at yahoo dot com and I'll tell you. Assuming you want to know. :) |
| from zencelt : |
| Thanks for the inspiration! |
| from niceguymike : |
| Well, you can *say* it or *think* it ... just don't tell anybody, OK? I don't want to ruin my reputation. |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| Your dogs are so cute! You crack me up. What a neat idea... |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Hi Poola: Their having a heck of a time getting the Johnson afloat and back out to Sea. God I hate seeing that happen what a magnificent Ship. A 90foot Brigantine, she's used as a training vessel...well I guess they learn how to run Her aground. I leave on the 28th, but I'll have my trusty Laptop and of course complete computer access at the hotel. You guys get any rain down there in the last two days? Is it ever going to stop? If it rains anymore my house may wash out to Sea and it might beat me to Hawaii ;-) |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Hi Poola: The 90ft Brigantine that ran aground north of me wasn't one of yours was it? If so was the Captain and Crew Drunk? Geesh, they ran her aground 26 yards from shore....in between jetties, on a sand bar swimmers, surfers walk on. Just kidding I know it wasn't one of yours but still its distrubing to think that someone was that careless. Sweetie I think your gonna win your entry was marvelous. Yo Ho :-) |
| from her-story : |
| anytime...anytime. Ebloggy.com is kinda cool, actually... And I had started something there b/c of what happened here this weekend. |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Hi Poola: So what's all this talk of an award? Is it for Dland? Regardless I vote for you. I did indeed survive yet another St Paddy's day. The last thing I remember I was singing..." Who threw the overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder"? "Its an Irish trick its true"! "And I'll whip the Mic that threw the overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder"! :-) |
| from her-story : |
| Auntie Poola....since my diary hasn't regained consciousness, I started another blog for those "just in case" moments. http://herstory.ebloggy.com/ (I linked you, just so you know...) |
| from minstrelite : |
| Thanks for your note. You might also check out http://www.breggin.com/yourdrug.html and http://homeboy5.diaryland.com - although for the latter it probably requires starting at the beginning with a time commitment. In any case, I agree that psych drugs are over-described. I guess when there's demand, there's supply. Everybody's looking for a quick fix in a stressful world. |
| from her-story : |
| Thanks poola... I called my mom after writing my entry to ask her if what I had was in fact a migraine. Apparently I'm not the only woman in my family who had one like this. She and my aunt used to get them a lot... then one day they didn't. Maybe that was the first and last of the severe migraines. (WOOHOO!) <--hopes |
| from ms-do : |
| Thanks Poola, you have my vote gurlie |
| from her-story : |
| He did make that reference, didn't he? (UGH... men, if they can't flaunt it, they play with it) It's an almond... I still think it's an almond... If you hear from catinasnit, tell her I was wondering how she is... :) Thanx poola! |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Hi Poola: Wizard? Role Model? Hmmmm. The more I think about it the only one who may have thought of me as a role model was Alfred E. Newman of Mad magazine fame.....maybe Dennis the Menance, Attilla the Hun and Calvin of Calvin and Hobbs... Murp the Surf (cartoon character from Surfer Magazine) and Bettlejuice actually role them up in to one and that's pretty much Me :-) But thanks for saying such a nice thing. Poola you and I need to get together when I get back I'll have some treasure for you from Cap'n Jack himself and I need your friends name (the 15 year old). Now you'll have to excuse me I am under Doctor's orders and I am force to eat my third Banana Split of the day. Isn't it Grand, I am under the strictest supervision and mandate to live as a Glutton....I am supposed to eat 60% good stuff you know healthy, but the other 40% Fats/sugars/startch/carbs I am truly a kid in a candy store lol. Yo Ho! |
| from her-story : |
| Wow, now that's a piraty get well thing. *Grins* Tis ok... The idea will help to heal me. :) |
| from so-then-what : |
| Thanks for stopping by my diary. I've actually read yours before because mom-on-roof links to you whenever she has the opportunity. So it was really nice to receive a note from someone i had previously read. I admire your work with children. May the winds be nice to you every single time you sail away. yes, i'm feeling specially poetic today (or is it cheesy?) |

| Auntie Poola... I don't want to be sick anymore. Send me a piratey healing thing to make me all better. *grins* ("How to judge which is worse: Getting your period or having it while dying from the flu..." News at 11) |
| from yarnsmith : |
| Have fun in the cabin. I love cabins too. |

| "40) I like to name my cars." Me too!! mines called Alberto. |
| from iamhubpluh : |
| well blow me down, and holy crap. A pirate you say? I was a saloon whore and a bird in a past life. I was also a tight rope walker in a traveling circus during the turn of the century. A pirate! Your the first 'un I'd met. Glad to have, er, met you?... My lil lass is wanting to learn bout pirates about now and I'm lucky to have stumbled upon your diary/weblogish/journal thing. Many pleasant sails to yous and your loved ones. |
| from linusthegirl : |
| You did the right thing by reporting it to your supervisor. It will all be worked out. You made a real difference in that child's life, just by believing him. Hang in there. |
| from chubbymum : |
| 2/3/05 Wish I could afford it... if I could I would be there with bells on. I have been to the Anaheim (if that is how it is spelt he he) Disneyland about 7 times as a kid. Was born in Bermuda but lived most of my life in New Zealand. I would love to visit you it would be fantastic. he he. |
| from chubbymum : |
| 2 March 2005 Thanks for the note! I live in Hamilton.. Love it here that is for sure. Used to live in Auckland but wouldn't go back if you paid me he he he. |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| Oh my god. I have to read you every day. I'm always laughing out loud like a geek. By the way, that is an EVIL-LOOKIN dog! |
| from hissandtell : |
| "Falls right off the bone like a well-cooked chicken", hey? No wonder Rattus rattus proves so popular (apocryphally, at least) in fast-food chicken restaurants as a fowl-substitute. Oh, and it's huge in Chinese cooking, of course - with fresh mountain rats highly prized above dirty city rats. Here's a recipe for you: 16 large, juicy, fat, black Rats, 60g grated Ginger, 4 large red Chillis, Juice of 4 Lemons, 2 cups Rice Wine Vinegar, 3 teaspoons Chinese Five Spice, 4-6 cups Vegetable Oil, 2 cups Cornflour, 1 tablespoon Black Pepper, 1 tablespoon Rock Salt. Method: Skin, gut and dress rats. Be sure to remove heads, tails and paws. Quarter rat carcasses, place into a large bowl. Mix ginger, lemon juice, vinegar and 1/2 of chilli. Pour over rat pieces and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate for 8 hours. Mix cornflour, five spice, remaining chilli, salt and pepper well, in plastic bag. Remove rat pieces from marinade, drain. Put pieces into bag and shake until well coated in cornflour mixture. Heat oil, until smoking hot, fry rat pieces for 2-3 minutes each side, remove and drain when golden brown. Serve with Hoisin Sauce and steamed rice. Steamed Chinese Broccoli will make a great accompaniment to this meal. Love, R xxx |
| from radiogurl : |
| Oh lovely! I can't say I've ver had the pleasure of overripe rat, but I've had plenty of bloated and rancid things in my life. Most of them I call relatives. But I digress. Thanks for the comment on my new template. Diaryland's being a pain, though - it wouldn't let me access your comments area... |
| from awittykitty : |
| I have a somewhat comparable story to your rat story. In oregon, my mom kept smelling something in the kitchen. We looked high and low, couldn't find anything and then we looked up in the vent above the stove and saw some blank beady eyes. A squirrel had climbed in from the roof and slid down the tube to where the stove fan was and gotten sliced and diced to a degree and yet his eyes were still open. But he was lodged in the vent. And stinking. Pyew! We had a hellava time getting him out. My stepfather had to take the entire stove fan out and then he plopped out in a juicy clomp onto the stove top. Yum. Filetted squirrel!! |
| from niceguymike : |
| The comments in your entry weren't working, so here I am. The rat story was *awful*. Sadly, I have no bloated animal carcass stories. Perhaps I have lived too sheltered a life. |
| from purplecigar : |
| Whew! Glad you and others are okay! Also, "sweet bippy"? HA! |
| from linusthegirl : |
| "..the courage to be afraid." I like that. I like that a whole lot. |
| from purplecigar : |
| Been watching about all the rain on the news. Stay safe, Ms. Poola. Don't float away! |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| My Dear Fellow Pirate Captain.....I'm a bit distressed it seems while I was in sickbay, You and your bloomers have once again ran aground! Now I admit to being a bit to weather not quite sea worthy, and after staying in sickbay my eyes are those of a Rum-runner's. But I believe I read something to the effect of you being one leg in then two legs out of your bloomers and some mention of a dog while attempting to piss into the wind? Forgive me if the Opiates perscribed by the Ship Doctor have me imagining this whole Odyessy. Have you become Mutinous? Have you given the order To Abandon Bloomers? Mate, What say you? Once again should this be a standing order and once under sail all hands cast their bloomers to the wind I apologize....and wonder where one might sign on to your Brigantine or does She carry a square Mainsail making her a Brig? Whatever She might be sign me on please! :-) |
| from dustinthwind : |
| LOL. One of my earliest memories is of Gumby and his unnaturally orange horse, on an escapade through the kitchen table. It was so creepy, with the huge forks and glasses and napkins, and Gumby with his big red eyes.. *shiver* No wonder why kids nowadays are violent and psychotic... |
| from her-story : |
| Gee Thanks Poola... I think anything green with cream in it is nasty. (I was supposed to link it to the 100 list, but D'Land is giving me a hard time today...) |
| from emmazchaos : |
| Aharharhahr, ye best no venture into me black book unless ye want nothing but horrible tales of lost love and pure teenage angst. So much horrible "I hate my life!"ness ye would be willing to walk the plank! |
| from purplecigar : |
| Hey there! I love Dave Barry so much so I'm disturbed to realize that I did not know he had written a children's book. Thanks SO MUCH for the heads-up! |
| from life-my-way : |
| Now, with the dead-scent they locate you then pee on your remains? And the experience is billed thusly? I truly wonder who would volunteer to first, be sprayed with death, thence with doggy urine. I'm glad the winkle story remained yours alone--well, yours and Cody's. |
| from modernrage : |
| thankies for the note, i really like ur diary too... i think ure living my dream! oh to be a pirate... look forward to reading more;) |
| from her-story : |
| Aww poola, you're the best! I'll pass the message on for ya... thanks! |
| from purplecigar : |
| Aw, Girl! I hope you're better. I'm glad your mASSed won't be showing... |
| from yarnsmith : |
| Loved your Valentines Day delivery story...that is just priceless. |
| from silver-blue : |
| Happy Birthday to you too! Mine was on the 7th, sorry.. different day, but thank you for the lovely message :) |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Happy, happy birthday!! May the year ahead be filled with buried treasure, a bottle of rum *yo ho ho* and lots of smooth sailing! Enjoy, indulge and celebrate! |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Me Dear Sister Pirate: Here's wishing you a blessed and happy day that you and I share. May the wind always fill your sails and bloomers lol. Here's hope'n for a night under the Southern Cross, may ya swim in the emeralds Sea's off Tortuga, Drink the Wags under the table in Kingston Jamaica, with a Cutlass in one hand and a pistol in the other, Happy Birthday to ya my Sweet Pirate Yo Ho! Love ya Michael |
| from dustinthwind : |
| What? No Johnny Depp for me? SHIT. |
| from wench77 : |
| Hey, heard over here was a pirategal who just had a 53whacks birthday! Felicitations! Hope you had a fantastic day! :D |
| from boxx9000 : |
| HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!! |
| from nascarwidow : |
| Happy Birthday, Ms. Poola!!! Hope you have a splendiforous day. |
| from awittykitty : |
| Ok, here's the deal. I get the East Coast Birthday Party on the 12th and you get the West Coast Birthday Party on the 12th and Johnny Depp flies between the two and makes an appearance at both. What'ya think? Yeah, I knew you'd like that. (oh, also consider me added to your favorites list. Don't know what took me so long.) |
| from beetilda : |
| O. M. G !!!!! I totally have a combo fox/coyote piss that I use to keep the gaah-tehs (cats) off the porches. |
| from beetilda : |
| hah! Came to you through hissandtell. ( I've seen you at Dangerspouse, as well) I read your note as "the most difficult nose to pick and handle"! Heh. I'm totally drunk. I also have an affinity for pirates. If you notice someone going through your archives, it's most likely me. Tirrah! |
| from candoor : |
| you are strange (a very likable strange at that :) |
| from nascarwidow : |
| Hilarious! I can see you doing the shuffle. |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| The Captain bellows AVast me Hearties and look to the Wind. The first mate screams put ye shoulder to the port and heave! The captain nods and number one shouts hosit the Mainsail and Poola's pants. Should the wind fill her bloomers she'd sail to the Canaries before we're 3 sheets to the wind. lol. Now Poola I realize your required to put on a show but dropping your pants? Is it Pirates Burlesque? :-) |
| from ms-do : |
| Poola one thing that drives me crazy is when you sit down on the toilet and realise the person before hasn't changed the new roll of toilet paper and they have obviously had the last sheet. Who changes their toilet paper roll at home????? |
| from widobooklist : |
| Why thank you! I decided it was easier to have them all in one spot, than interspersed here and there in my other/real diary! :) |
| from roebean : |
| Totally understand the "sitting-on-a-hill-and-pressing-brakes-harder-because-someone-else-is-moving" sensory feeling. It freaks me out everytime it happens. gawd |
| from dustinthwind : |
| SWEET. You are too kind. I was actually born on midnight, between the 12th and 13th. So, I'm 1/2 a 2/12 baby. :) |
| from dustinthwind : |
| A Johnny Depp fan, as well as a Finding Neverland fan? Not to mention sharing the same birthday as me? NO WAY. *violently throws poolagirl onto buddy list* You ROCK! Savvy? |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| You were born on the 12th of February? Me too! Oh by the way when I viewed your Tinkerbelle it was like looking in the mirror. I thought how'd she get my feathers? Very funny character, I'm talking about me not Tink lol. So your an Aquarius, that explains your need for the Sea, distant lands, explorations and Mad as a Hatter lol. Happy Birthday to my favorite Buccaneer YO HO Poola! Respectfully Michael |
| from awittykitty : |
| Cheers to a fellow February 12th girl. Aren't we just so clever, stunning and fabulous? :-) |
| from purplecigar : |
| Hi there! Thanks for the compliment! Also, I KNEW you'd put "A Pirate's Life," just knew it. |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Thanks for the nice words and feelings, but I think I dehyrated and delusional, combined the two and it always makes for good reading lol. King Horkus the Spewer, apparently I'm his Paladin lol. |
| from wildrosie : |
| I've always wondered about the people who fish off the piers there at Harbor and Shelter Islands. They seem to be there every day, and they always catch stuff, and I'm pretty sure they eat it too. Yum. |
| from teacherlady2 : |
| Wow. Thanks so much. You can't even imagine what your note meant to me. I've added you back. What else could I do with someone so cool as to have Harper Lee listed as their favorite author? :o) |
| from nascarwidow : |
| I have a friend whose husband would not "allow" their daughter to do any housework until she was 17! He thought she might hurt herself doing dishes and cooking. She was also never allowed a key to the house. Blew my mind. She moved out at 19 with a guy and her dad about lost it. Wonder what their place looks like. |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Thanks for the notes Honneybunny. I'm feeling much better except for the vomiting thingy. By the way I talked to your favortie Pirate today. He wished for me to feel better and agreed to the photos for you and your friend if I'd send him a photo of me vomiting LOL. He's a funny guy! I believe I may call is bluff and send him that very thing lol. |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| Oh to have the much fun and they even give you money! The joy, the joy. |
| from wildrosie : |
| I'm so glad that you have had a very happy day...now, could you send some of it this direction? I do wish I could have been there to see the moon dancing through the masts while the sun was rising... |
| from thecrankyone : |
| Perfect pic of you.. btw.. somebody googled me for poolagirl (they didn't capitalize it either), very weird... here's the link for the google.. http://www.google.com/search?q=poolagirl&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&start=50&sa=N thought you'd be interested to know. |
| from nascarwidow : |
| I just love the picture of you! |
| from liquidhuman : |
| Ahoy, nice action figure! And I must say, your chicken sidekick was lovingly and attentively drawn. |
| from niceguymike : |
| Well, somebody had to have the, er, balls to, er, bring dildos into the realm of D-land. |
| from wench77 : |
| The bowliing? the bowling? I chose the bowling and I am NOT weird they say. I personally am starting to think it is soley random. I don't see much correlation at all. Dang. Here I WANTED to be WEIRD!! sigh! |

| from boxx9000 : |
| I'm TRYING to be positive here....the only good reason to put that sex offender into an area like that is that EVERYONE will be watching him. If he went to a secluded place nobody would know and he would just get in his car and drive a little. |
| from boxx9000 : |
| I liked your GW Bush generator. I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said, "When Clinton lied, nobody died" |
| from nascarwidow : |
| I'd be on a soapbox, too. That is absolutely insane. I regularly check the website for registered sex offenders to see if any have moved into our area. There's an apartment complex around the corner that has occasionally had them and I refuse to let my kids go near it. Heck, I refuse to let my kids wander our street! I know I'm over protective, but it's just not worth it. Keep ranting! I couldn't get the link to open and will try later. |
| from her-story : |
| I REALLY dig you pirate-woman. You can share my sofa in hell anytime! You, me and your mom... we'll play dirty-word scrabble and make fun of that psycho blonde chick on American Idol, which I did see last night. She made me feel REALLY REALLY super normal. She was so entertaining that I almost ran out to make popcorn... but I was afraid that if I left, that she'd finish being freaky weird... but I did want to meet her other personalities. Too bad I won't be able to see tonight's epi. I'm supposed to go to some lecture thingy about how the media gives bad ideas to kids. (*hehe*) We'll see if the snow lets up in time... |
| from boxx9000 : |

| from radiogurl : |
| Wooohooo! I love your action figure! Brilliant, naturally! *Grins* I love some of the action figure ideas, they're a riot! |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Hi Yes unfortunately Rocky has remained a teenager. I had hoped he would settled down once he realized that we were older and should act as gentlemen. Yes he is indeed a comedian and has more than once popped up at the most inappropriate times oh and how he loves to play to a crowd, thank God he can't speak :-) |
| from radiogurl : |
| Your diary is such a joy to read these days. I love the details of working with your hooligans. Don't stop writing, m'dear! |
| from yarnsmith : |
| When you hear a story about a little boy who is so full of life despite having a body that doesn't work and knowing he has a shortened life span it really makes me want to kick myself in the butt for complaining about the "small stuff". You sound like a wonderful woman who lives life with gusto and lots of love and sweetness. You are inspiring. |
| from radiogurl : |
| Wow... what an amazing experience, particularly for the young man who's not fully mobile. But what's with not being mean enough to the kids? Isn't this supposed to be a fun excursion, or did I miss something altogether? |
| from radiogurl : |
| A pirate's life for you! I'm so glad for you :D It sounds like fun, in spite of the kids' bunks and excitement. I know it's bound to be a step up from your previous job! |
| from her-story : |
| The story about your mom and the c-word cracked me up. I haaaaaate that word, but it's funny that an 80 year old woman would use it in a SCRABBLE game.. hehe! |
| from fairygodmum : |
| Theresa is indeed an angel, she feels sorry for everyone that feels guilty, but that it was no ones fault. It was just an accident which she with her loving heart still goes out to others. All she says is that her neck aches a bit, nothing too serious. When things happen that fast it's sometimes more difficult to even know that one is without a body. She is one of these and it is a great dissapointment not to hug everyone who sends her prayers. My prayers go out to her, you and all of her family and friends. And especially for those involved in the accident. God be with you all. Hugz n Lub, Bebe da FairyGodMum |
| from absinthesigh : |
| I am sorry for the loss of our friend. You have written a beautiful tribute. You are in my heart, thoughts and prayers. with much love, ophelia |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| Loved the giraffe!!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!! |
| from radiogurl : |
| LOL! I love that whole trick, Del ;) I'm going to have to borrow it somehow, lol. |
| from nascarwidow : |
| OMG what an awesome practical joke! I may have to steal the idea to use on my boss, he'd be perfect to play this type of trick on. |
| from boxx9000 : |
| I used to date a guy who raced yachts for a living. I used to go sailing all the time and I ALWAYS GOT SICK!!! I don't have the stomach for the open sea. (sigh) |
| from radiogurl : |
| Oooh I love those titles! They sound very Piers-Anthony-ish, though :) I hope the ship has a little better day next time out, but am immensely glad you finally got to see some blue skies again *hugs* |
| from awittykitty : |
| thanks Poola. You really made my day (...you know...with the "sensational" part. Hee! I'm blushing). Take care. :-) |
| from nascarwidow : |
| So what was the practical joke? |
| from radiogurl : |
| Hang in there - sooner or later it'll dry out. Maybe. After all these years of drought, Mother Nature apparently decided to give us in one month all the rain we've missed for ther past seven or eight YEARS... Hopefully you live on a houseboat. Because if you don't, you will. Just a couple of more days of rain in Southern California ought to do it! |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Thanks Sweetheart, I am alive and sometimes dry lol. According to the fire-department my home is still where I left it lol. Seriously I hope the rain stops soon a couple more days like yesterday and today and my home will be headed to Hawaii. Because I'm staying at a friends home my access to you all is a bit limited. My laptop is wounded and won't coooooperate!Stay dry Sweetie :-) |
| from radiogurl : |
| I'd offer you the use of my boat - but I don't have one, darn it. Unless you count the four-wheeled boat I drive, which probably wouldn't float very well. Stay dry and be sure to avoid those falling rocks! |
| from wildrosie : |
| Some days I think I got out of Dodge just in time, but then I remember that weather like that happens every few years, and soon, like childbirth, it will be forgotten when the sun shines again. Betcha you could take your sailboat down to Mission Valley today and float all the way to the ocean! Just please, don't send it this way! I finally got warm and dry yesterday. BTW, enjoy the Lady Washington, I wish I could see her. And blow kisses to the Hotel Del, my friends and I used to go there for lunch when we were about 20 (And no speculation on how many decades have passed). It was fun doing the whole snooty thing. Yo ho ho and a bottle of Tequila! I know, I know, but we're not in the Caribbean here! No rum to be found! |
| from radiogurl : |
| What a gorgeous ship. I'm officially jealous now, you know. You're all set for the rains, while it looks like I get to dog paddle! |
| from radiogurl : |
| Thanks for the review on Phantom - I really REALLY want to see that when it comes into town here, or if nothing else, to rent it when it comes out on video. I heard it was spectacular and that they're talking Oscars (since it's already walked off with some Golden Globes.) And I think Minnie Driver does her own singing, from everything I know. |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Hi Poola: Thanks for the note. It is indeed great the T's back. He is the youngest of all the brothers and of course we all worry. Its funny all of us have been through that as Soldiers and Marines. All in the combat, all wounded. As older brothers we were worried sick this last time. But he is bright and has been trained well. So far this afternoon and this evening he has been smiling and laughing with family and friends and the party has been a big one and fun. So tell me of these ghosts on the tall ships. I love that stuff. :-) |
| from radiogurl : |
| Intriguing questions and intriguing answers for an interesting lady. Hope you have a nice quiet weekend! |
| from her-story : |
| Gee, poola, that sounds really cool. Especially about the pirate stuff. *grins* But, nothing could be MORE interesting than to see a naked Michael being attacked by a pooping pelican. (Say THAT 5 times really fast.) Again, thanks for the concern. I'm just tired of getting the rumproast instead of the filet. *wink* But, again, that's life, right? |
| from shiloh26 : |
| Thank you! I'm always nervous about offering any piece I write for others to read. I'm really glad you like it. I worried about it being too long and people losing interest. I'm also excited to see the pictures of the "Pirates" ship. |
| from radiogurl : |
| How exciting about all the music - and when you get those MP3's, I wanna hear!! |
| from thecrankyone : |
| I grew up on Willie, and Waylon, and Johnny and Kris and all those guys (thanks to my mom). Hope it all works well for the stage play, that would be too cool. |
| from radiogurl : |
| I don't blame you for being excited about your new job. And yes, I'm sure that in time it will settle into routine, but I still can't help believing you'll enjoy it even when it does become routine. :D |
| from catinasnit : |
| Dontcha love running into dear ol' friends. It's the best thing, especially when you least expect it. |
| from wildrosie : |
| Hmmm, I wonder if you live in the Barony of Calafia, in the Kingdom of Caid? Oh, and would you stop tossing that bad weather my way? It's cold and windy and wet! But it does sound like you are having a grand time over there, I can't wait to hear the CD! Oh, and did you ever go to the Blarney Stone up on Balboa and Genessee? Rosie |
| from radiogurl : |
| It's such a joy to see your entries these days - you're obviously in the job you were meant to hold :) |
| from radiogurl : |
| Oh before I forget - I think I'm about 200 miles east of Sedona. We have been getting rain off and on since last night. I've been home sick so can't tell you how much or how drastic it's been, but I know we're expecting more through tomorrow at least. |
| from wildrosie : |
| I remember when M.Rose was about 11, and I had gotten her her first training bra. My husband made the observation to her that she might not want to sleep in it, and she replied..."But Dad, they're in TRAINING!" |
| from her-story : |
| Thanks poola... I'll keep your dancing in mind when I get nervous. *grins* I hope it leads to something good... *crosses her fingers* |
| from thecrankyone : |
| When I was about 3 or so, my aunt gave us a poodle, sometime when he was about 1 or 2 years old, he got hit by the telephone truck but managed to survive with nothing more than being knocked out. However after that he had grand mal seizures about 1xmonth, or so. It was quite scary, though he went on to have a happy life until I was about 16 or 17 and he finally got to the point where he was blind and had bad teeth, and could barely eat and my parents had to put him down. He was good dog though, even if he did act like he thought he was a cat. |
| from radiogurl : |
| Ugh... We're just now getting the most recent storm. We've got another one on its way now??? Yeesh. And I discovered Sophie and Tucker's page. Too cute! |
| from radiogurl : |
| I know what you mean about not seeing the pictures on my diary. I can see them in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox (which is my browser of choice.) I thought I had the problem fixed but darn... |
| from thecrankyone : |
| It tastes good, but its barely qualified as food. If you haven't read the book Fast Food Nation you should. It is scary. I've also worked behind the scenes in the food industry, and also growing up on a farm raising food, I can tell people things that would make them want to give up eating all together. Any body intersted in how many bug parts per million allowed in a load of grain, or how many mouse droppings. I won't even start on the restaurant industry. Warren and I eat out much less than we used to. |
| from radiogurl : |
| I can attest to that. Fast food is the ultimate diet killer. I am more picky now - I still do fast food, but almost exclusively salads. |
| from radiogurl : |
| You IRON??? Sheesh - I think I actually own an iron. Somewhere. But I won't swear to it. But to actually USE it? *Shudders* You're a braver woman than I am! |
| from candoor : |
| happy new year :) |
| from radiogurl : |
| Happy New Year!!! :D :D :D Thanks, too, for the movie review. I wondered if the film was any good - sounds like it's probably Oscar-bound, lol. |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Right back at ya, Poolagirl! Best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous new year! |
| from radiogurl : |
| Happy New Year, Poola - and happy sailing! If I were still designing diaries I would make you a pirate design, lol. |
| from arc-angel666 : |
| Thank You I'm rather flattered. I enjoy your entries also, plus we both Sail and are Pirates lol. Speaking of which I personally know Captain Jack Sparrow and will be working with him once again in March in Hawaii. Email me at [email protected] I have something of his you might like. YO HO! |

| from her-story : |
| Awww, poola... you sure know how to make a girl smile! Have a good one! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Well ... I tend to agree, poolapie. Youth, rainy dirt roads, alcohol and firearms are not a great combination, and I'd certainly try to discourage any 16-year old girls I knew from having any part of it. However, in their defence, the boys are all fairly responsible and sweetly protective of them, and the girls' parents know the fellows and gave their permission. Also, we have a long-standing tradition here of "Schoolies' Week" - do you know it? Students from schools all over the state who have finished year 12 (and often year 11) go somewhere en masse - usually to the Gold Coast, or a Barrier Reef island, or camping - for a week or two, and wipe themselves out drinking and partying and debauchering with hundreds / thousands of others just like them. I guess this adventure was a little like that, only much smaller-scale. And you don't like kumara? Oh, poola! You must have had a bad one - they can be absolutely delicious! And they'd surely keep scurvy at bay! Love, R xxx |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| I'm bacccckkkk!!! |
| from wildrosie : |
| Thanks for adding me! And I think thanks for sending the rain our way, though I'm not quite sure about that yet. Toyotas rule, and I miss San Diego, my hometown. I miss Anthony's and Bully's East. *Snif* *Sigh* Maybe someday soon my cowboy and I will be going there, and I can show him La Jolla Cove at night. Rosie |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| Your angel card was dead on. I am devastated by what happened across the world, the tsunamis. :( |
| from radiogurl : |
| *Grins* I know what you mean. Sometimes the absolute best revenge is to stand back and watch what people do to THEMSELVES. |

| LOL. I once filled out a job application and with out thinking listed my birthdate as 1992 (yes the year I was applying), it wasn't noticed until I worked there two years, and the personell person realized that either I had the wrong date or they were seriously violating child labor laws. |
| from shiloh26 : |
| I know. Too bad that is often the case. I wish and hope the Indonesian people are getting the aid they need. |
| from radiogurl : |
| Ouch! Soda-horking is not my favorite pastime. Hopefully that wasn't the extent of your holiday fare! |
| from thecrankyone : |
| LOL thanks for bringing back a funny memory. My cousin David (2 years older than me, ex-con now turned carpenter to the stars in LA) used to make root beer come out of his nose on purpose when we kids, one vacation they came to visit and he would do it on purpose to gross me out. It's amazing the things one sometimes remembersj, from out of the blue. This is the same kid that would sleep with his eyes open to freak people out, and who once pushed me in to a china cabinet cause I kept sitting in front of him to bug him. (I was about 4 and he about 6) |
| from radiogurl : |
| The tragedy is unprecedented. I don't know how many thousands will ultimately be declared dead. So many of these people had so little to begin with, and to see their lives and all they own swept away... It's staggering... |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| How sad it is that the Tsunami happened the day after Christmas. It is very sad. I am just as disturbed as you about Iraq and about the World Aids Population, especially in Africa. |
| from radiogurl : |
| I've seen churches that regulated music for weddings and such, but they'd have permitted "I Will Always Love You." They drew the line at some more irreverent stuff that contained expletives. I considered that legitimate. |
| from fairygodmum : |
| I tried and tried but that Johnny Depp LINK didn't Work!.. Gosh that boy is sooo FINE!!!! tee hee Hugz n Happy Holidayzzzz.. Bebe da FairyGodMum |
| from radiogurl : |
| Merry Christmas and ho-ho-HOoooo that's a nice watch! :D Glad you had fun :D |
| from boxx9000 : |
| MERRY CHRISTMAS Miss Poola! Wishing you lots of health and happiness and smooth sailing in the New Year. ~Love, BoXx |
| from ms-do : |
| I knew i could count on you Poola.......Merry Christmas to you....and thanks for your diary i love it! |
| from niceguymike : |
| I hope your holiday season is wonderful, too, dear. And, yes, debonair totally works. Your diary, by the way, is one of my favorites to read, and seeing your name in red on my buddy list makes my day! |
| from nikita84 : |
| Thank you! I'll be reading your diary soon. I've read some quotes and it sounds like you're a great person AND funny, what i really love! :) I'm off to shower then take care of last minute things since my house's gonna be full in no time but i'll be reading your diary soon! Maybe even after the party. You see, i can't sleep after partying couse i'm just too worked up! hehe! Once again Merry Christmas! |
| from dangerspouse : |
| "Round Young Virgin Smothers Her Child"? That's GREAT! If she'd lost some weight the damn kid would probably still be with us, and you wouldn't have to sing the song that way. Sounds like a tabloid headline, doesn't it? Thanks for the hearty laugh - as always. And a Merry Christmas to ya, P-Girl! |
| from nikita84 : |
| Merry Christmas!!!!! (no, you don't know me. I'm just like those people who go out and freeze their butts off caroling to people they don't even know...i wanna spread christmas glee! hehe) |
| from betchy : |
| have a very merry christmas! |
| from radiogurl : |
| What IS it about today that every bone-headed jerk is out playing head games?? And you're right, the SOB is a bona-fide jerk to the nth degree. |
| from her-story : |
| That rat story had me cracking up, AND determined to NOT move to your area... sorry, but there are a few things that I don't want walking around where I can see them. Rats and tarantulas. Ick. WE do have everything else, it seems...bear, deer, skunks, squirrels, chipmunks... etc. And, apparently the other day we had a dying crow on our deck steps. It hobbled off and no one could find it, because I wanted to call the Board of Health. Dead crows are icky, but live ones are even worse. I think they wait for my shih tzu to come outside so they can torment her. |
| from wench77 : |
| Hey, thanks for the Christmas greeting card! Thanks for visiting my diary in Diaryland, eh! What are we without fellow diarists and readers??? And um, there was a certificate attached to a day of unlimited hugs. So when do I get these unlimited hugs huh? Soon? I'm SO looking forward to them. I could use some unlimited hugs. :D Merry Kippens to you Too!! |
| from radiogurl : |
| Ah, dead rats. Gotta love them as long as they're in someone else's story and not in a child unit's hand, lol. |
| from radiogurl : |
| Heee - I just finished taking the quiz, and got Silent Night. Interesting, since my responses were all over the place. |
| from betchy : |
| hello i found you somehow, and quite liked you, and well, pirates are always good fun so i added you. hope thats ok. |
| from radiogurl : |
| Oooh now THAT'S a cool quiz! |
| from radiogurl : |
| *Grins* I'd like to see your current boss's face turn sixteen shades of green (and I know it did) when she couldn't faze you. Go Pirate Girl... er, Poolagirl! |
| from radiogurl : |
| *Sigh* You have to wonder what criteria that Time Magazine used in selecting Bush. Or if some men in black came knocking at their door... |
| from niceguymike : |
| And actually not my preferred term, which would be "anal sex". We were actually laughing about the sorts of people who *do* use that form. |
| from radiogurl : |
| Hey, glad you got your card! That was FAST! ;) I hear you about the no snow thing, but unlike me, you at least have some greenery around you in winter and summer. I live in a world of browns and beiges, with an occasional sandy pink. I want to be somewhere that has oak trees and violets, pussy willows and milkweed, lilacs and tulips... |
| from thecrankyone : |
| devils in the frozen section? I always thought they hung around the canned hams? Though the former would explain why I hear strange voices from the frozen pizzas. LOL!! Sorry too much caffiene + not enough sleep = one very weird sense of humor!! I've done a little work for a small market research, and having worked with the public most of my adult life, I've long stopped being amazed at some people's stupidity |
| from radiogurl : |
| I like the template for looks but for some reason half of the text links are invisible to me, and so is part of the white box your entry's contained in. (I know, awful grammar there, LOL!) |
| from chaosdaily : |
| yea the sweetest man is the one pictured in your diary... *sigh* |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| I like your new template. It breathes. It's open. Nice. |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| I love the new template, but I have to say I miss Captain Jack......sigh. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Ooooh! I love this template, poolapie-rat, but I can't find a comments section. (And all this time here was I thinking you'd been apprenticed to a pie LOT!) Love, R xxx |
| from niceguymike : |
| Glycerin sounds good; I could totally deal with microwave. Thanks! |
| from justmouse : |
| oh my...i just read the note you left Hissandtell...you play all those instruments? my son will likely want to come and live with you....when shall i ship him over? i hate to admit i haven't read your "stuff" yet...but plan to soon! (when the tattle-tales at work stop looking over my damn shoulder all the time, that is!!). |
| from needisaymore : |
| Cute pic! Just wanted to say hi, and thank you for your note. I've just been off in my own little busy world. I lost interest in writing for a while, but it may be returning. . . Just reading the titles of your entries--you have obviously had a lot of changes in your life over the past few months! I'll have to read and catch up. In the meantime, just wanted to say hi and wish you a Merry Christmas! |
| from niceguymike : |
| Yep, I've returned, and I was so very happy to learn you got that great job! Had no idea you'd find out so fast (for some reason, the best jobs usually take about six weeks to get). As far as misheard song lyrics, my favorite entry comes from Clint Black, whose song "No Time to Kill" had the line "a bell to mark each one to pass", which was apparently frequently misunderstood as "Imelda Marcos' underpants". Heh. |
| from hissandtell : |
| I'm still chuckling over the muff-shaving business. Are you familiar with websites like http://www.amiright.com/misheard/ for misheard lyrics? This one gives me hours and hours of entertainment. (My very favourite, I think, is the girl who always thought that Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea with his friend Frollipin the Otamus, which she pictured as a kind of otter/hippo hybrid...although The Boxer getting no offers, just a come-on from the horse on 7th Avenue is pretty good, too.) Love, R xxx |
| from boxx9000 : |
| That's horrible about your fiance. I had no idea. How long ago was this? I've never known anyone who had experienced being so close to someone who killed themselves. Did you have any idea he would do such a thing? |
| from lauralgood : |
| It always scares me when someone knows my name and I look down and realize I have that damn name tag on...i would never do that to someone! it seems so rude! hugs and love. Laural |
| from boxx9000 : |

| Wow, 579 entries, how long have you been with diaryland? |
| from life-my-way : |
| The layout's a gas, and the JOB!!! What could be better? I'm thrilled to finally know a real pirate, with a big ol' ship and everything! |
| from for-you-only : |
| Cute layout. Congrats on the job! I hope everything goes well for you. See ya around... -Pink |
| from her-story : |
| That's right... we're SPECIAL. I just wish the nonspecialites laid off of me occassionally. |
| from catinasnit : |
| I LOVE your new templates. Perfect. What perfect timing for Sponge Bob - I know, you're promoting his new movie. ~ I had to go back and read your last few entries in order to catch up. GROSS - GROSS Gotta tell you, I've never heard that old folk song about the guy who blew his nose in a piece of bread and called it pumpkin pie. EEEUUU! |
| from radiogurl : |
| Cute new template. And I've taken that test before. I'm a 5, too. |
| from serenaville : |
| YES, YES, YESSSSS! Spongebob template!! Luuuuuuuurve it. Please keep! Please?? *GLEE* :D |
| from wench77 : |

| from sunnflower : |
| Thanks for sharing your slip and fall on ass story with me. I appreciated it! |
| from shiloh26 : |
| Um, Poola? I tried clicking on your previous link and I get the Dland error page. |
| from niceguymike : |
| You know, I've met a lot of women and girls who mistakenly believe that all men like women who are silly, helpless and not very smart. They're wrong, and I *always* celebrate women who understand they won't be happy with themselves if they deny their own capabilities. Geek on! (From a fellow geek.) |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| I found a way. I highlighted it all and it turned white. Am I the only one with this problem? |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| AAAAAACCKKK!!! Black and maroon! I can't read it! Not a bit! Oh-no!!!! |
| from catinasnit : |
| "... In my-y-y-y-y life, I loved them all..." What a perfectly wonderful song to sing in memorium! |
| from catinasnit : |
| Good for you and your banners. So far, I haven't elected to get one, but I'm thinking... ~ So what are you going to sing at this memorial service? ~ You have chickens? Are they pets? ~~ Boy you replied to my entry quickly. Yeah, I know Mikes going to say SOMETHING. Got two weeks. |
| from catinasnit : |
| Boney feet?? I absolutely can not think of anything to add to that entry, so I'll just say "Hello. Have a really nice weekend." |
| from catinasnit : |
| I'll bet you'll get an onclave of interesting, "The same thing happened to me" stories, triggered by your bad day. ~ I've had more than my share, I can tell you that right now. |
| from fairygodmum : |
| Congrats Gurl... Can you spell "STRAIGHT FLUSH"!!! Have FUN! Hugz n Lub, Bebe da, FairyGodMum |
| from wyndspirit : |
| So close...! :) |
| from boxx9000 : |
| HAPPY HALLOWEEN......BOO! |
| from hissandtell : |
| You're very welcome, darling. You see, I thought, "Well what do people most associate with Poolapie? Why, Vaginal Farting 101, of course." And then I thought, "Well, what goes with Vaginal Farting 101?" And it came to me as if in a dream: Six-inch plaster dildos! Voila! Love, R xxx |
| from treesssa : |
| Thanks for the comments! Well, about the aura thing... Its says i'm child-like, So yeah i guess this fits me.LOL I just went back and read what i wrote about the bike story. Sheesh! I saw so many spelling and punctuation errors. I have no idea how anyone can actually understand what what I wrote!Thanks for the comments though. You are too sweet! |
| from niceguymike : |
| Ah, well, TV was completely out because I haven't watched TV in, oh, nine years? Or something like that. I ended up voting, which I think was a great use of a night of freedom. |
| from her-story : |
| I think that the scariest part of having to deal w/ this kid, besides his obvious physical stature (6'3", 230 lbs), is that he held no responsibility to himself for his actions. NOR did his family. And, what's a scarier thought is how the district never once thought, "WOW, I guess we should PROTECT the women in this school from roving predators and perverts..." when I reported the incident. AND... I only continued w/ this case because *I* knew that there were at least 4 other girls who were continually sexually harassed by this guy. And, I knew if I didn't go to court, they would hide from him and drop the charges. I was scared, no doubt, because NO ONE knew at the school, except the admin... and this kid was telling everyone a sordid tale that somehow included me. But, in the end, we all get what's coming to us... and he lost my case. However, I am the first NJ teacher on the books for independently bringing charges against a student (from what I'm told) of the nature that they were. I've moved past being embarassed and angry. I want to emphasize to all women that it's OK to speak out... even if you're scared. |
| from catinasnit : |
| I just read your sweet parting thoughts sent to a true Superman. It did me good to remember to be truly grateful for each blessing. ~ then I read your entry about the mountain cabin, hummingbird feeder, books and comforting warm fires on a cool evening. Loved it! Could see and picture where you were, and I feel sure I never have been. I'll be back to visit. -Megan- |
| from politics101 : |

| from arc-angel666 : |
| Penguins from Hell, I know them well. My favorite being Sister--- --I'll bleed you daily little boy---Mary---destroy all penises---- ---Zollnelyn. Sister Mary taught me the spirit of the ruler (to hit) and hit she did. I keep hearing of all this knuckle beating, where was I? The Sisters of the Holy Order of Black and Blue hit to the head. As she would hit me she would ask do ya feel the Ooly Spurit Yet By, she was from Ireland. One of my Dads brothers was born in Ireland and Uncle Tommy(my Favorite) told me to tell her the next time she ask you that ya Tel-ler Yer Dumn Fookin right I do, ya Right Fookin Sloot!

| Greetings: My buddy Dangerspouse and Radiogurl said your a good read....indeed. You wear a Ford hat drive a Toyota, sprinkle Coyote piss to fight off Raccoons, collect brown eggs from brown chickens and a occasional blue egg. Concerned over Women with poles (me too especially while swinging at me), a women who only eats commercial eggs over home laid ( I on the other hand am more concerned why I eat anything that drops out of a creatures butt). Enjoys Creme Soda, convinced you a Pirate from another time. (Yes you are a Pirate)(born two hundred years too late)(the cannons don't thunder)(theres nothing to Plunder)(your an over 20,30,40,(pick one) victim of fate). I was a Pirate..but only in the Movies. Nice to meet you. Respectfully Arc-Angel 666 |

| from serenaville : |
| I know I have been scarce of contact for ages, but I wanted to say that I cannot count the times I have sent up a little prayer of thanks, that I found you and your diary. The smiles you bring to my days, and the enrichment, you can't truly know. Maybe you do now, just a smidge. Thank you for being a fave. *HUGS!!!* |
| from hissandtell : |
| Oh, silly me. Can you believe I actually felt a little, well, uncomfortable at first about asking for your pancreas? I should have known you'd be gracious and diplomatic (and entirely just and equitable) about it, you generous darling. Does this mean I can pencil you in for one of your kidneys too, then? Love, R xxx |
| from hissandtell : |
| Um, if Tom doesn't want it, could I have your pancreas, please? I promise to look after it and give it back should you ever need it. And perhaps I could even give you one of my bits in return...Love, R xxx |
| from ms-do : |

| You deserve everything you get Poola and that includes the love of family and friends. |

| from xnavygrrl : |

| Ms Poolie, you rock gurlie, congras on the 1st birthday I'm sure there will be many more. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| I've said...and I know you also agree....things happen for a reason...The message I left below, came to me in the form of part of an email advertisment, just moments after reading your entry for the day. I can't even remember what the ad was for, as the words just jumped off the page, slapped me hard and I knew I HAD to send them to you as they were so perfectly tied to your "grape lady" entry. And...it made me think of Dad. (((Big Hug))) |

| from niceguymike : |
| Thanks, hon. I was up at 3 partly because I haven't been sleeping well, but also because I got involved with a book, and Friday and Saturday nights are the only times I can stay up late without penalty the next day. Have been *really* happy to hear about your show. You're sold out for opening and closing! How cool is that! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Oh Ms. Poolie. You're so kind, but that's because you're able to see beyond the shell. Thank you. |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| How long have you been here? One year? Wow! 400!!! I have been here for a little over 3 years and only have 687. Wowsa! And I sure am glad I found yours! |
| from snarkypants : |
| Look at you, Poola, you go on witcher bad self! You go, girl! I don't know how many people I've seen with diaries who said "Poola made me do it!" That's why I call you a diaryland evangelist, bringing people over to the light! Congrats, and 400 more, please! |
| from oliana : |
| COOL! I got so much spam in my old account and I don't know who emailed me and who didn't, if they even wanted to read on...ya know? |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Sorry to SNORT LOUDLY at your misfortune, but the play dough hair hit me in the funny bone. Genuinely sorry about the hawk. And the itchy tag. Tomorrow will be better. Or worse. I don't know. I hope better. But possibly worse. You deserve better. But may get worse. In a perfect world, you would have one of those "hairgasms" with your shampoo in the shower, walk into the store and win the prize for being the 3 millionth customer, ballons, confetti, yay!, $5000 spending spree, and then receive an urgent email from CALIFORNIA, land of dreams, seems they wish to produce an HBO special of your show, of course you retain all creative rights AND your primo director spot. It could happen! Look at Tom Hanks! |
| from hcatty : |
| Wow. Congrats that the show is awesome! We all knew it would be, naturally. Hey, don't sweat the dirty old men. Just give them a "woman" look and they'll scurry away. Never fails for me. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Have you been ignoring me, darling poolapie? I updated two days ago. Didn't you read me yet? Ohhh, the misery, the pain, the agony, the ignominy, the trauma...but smooch anyway. xxx |
| from hissandtell : |
| Have I told you lately how much I love you? Smooch. R xxx |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Hey Miss Poola! Very happy for you, that your show is turning out so great, wish I were there to participate! Break a leg, girl! (you know that's an EXPRESSION, right?) |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| You're ACTUALLY going to leave us HANGING like that???? |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Oh thanks Ms. Poolie. When you showed your picture on D-land, I only wish it had shown your beautiful eyes as they are the windows to the soul. They everyone would see how TRULY beautiful you are inside and out! You're a blessing my sweet friend. |
| from boxx9000 : |

| from dangerspouse : |
| Awww, thanks for the Anniversary wishes, baby. You know I'd dump her in a second for you though. Especially if you sang that "I am Vacuous" song to me. God, I love typecasting! Anyway, thanks for always making me smile, too :) |
| from treesssa : |
| Thanks Poolie for the cyber $100!! I think i will go buy a cyber push up bra with it!Hehehe |
| from niceguymike : |
| I feel practically certain it was a spoof. Well, mostly. Really, it probably was just a joke. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Smooch, darling. I'm back and loving catching up on your older entries that I've missed. Thanks so much for your kind comments. Love, R xxx |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| And you forgot...changing the "in and out burgers" stickers to say, "in and out urge". |
| from niceguymike : |
| Well, I'm certainly not going to comment on the origins of your Freudian slip. But, really, it was *pennies*, not *penises*. I do accounting. Where we work with *pennies*. |

| from invisibledon : |

| from niceguymike : |
| I've meant to tell you several times how much I enjoy your diary. I eagerly read every day for updates on the play -- and I think "Woe Kittens" is an absolutely inspired name. I've been calling the girls that one on occasion. |
| from lauralgood : |
| Hey! I love this side of auntie poola! Next thing you know you will be asking me for the link to my OTHER diary! Love and kisses Laural |
| from lauralgood : |
| Hey! That is a good one for the smell of green! I love food personally and everyone asks me where to eat...Have you ever had Thai food? Or Indian food? How could these smells and tastes not invoke orgasmic like feelings in you? Or maybe that is just me...hehe Love Laural |

| I'll assume that your need to change your pants was unrelated to the burn you suffered. I have that effect on women. Glad I could make parts of you hot, baby! |
| from crimsonqueen : |
| I like variety, lol, so I guess I'd have to have something new to eat every day. I can have the same thing for maybe 3 days in a row and then I'll get tired of it, lol. Your lucky you don't have to worry about that. |
| from crimsonqueen : |
| Hope the earthquakes aren't too bad! |
| from her-story : |
| Apparently, based on your "tomato" thing, I tashte like Alcohol. (Is alcohol a fruit or a vegetable?) |
| from purr67 : |
| Hi there!! I promise to catch up soon!! |
| from swcprincess : |
| A gift! Hee. Thankyou very much. I don't think it's a gift, I just like making people chuckle. (They laugh at me during the day, so obviously I must extend this to all other aspects of my life.) |
| from crimsonqueen : |
| Spicy Strawberries...sounds interesting! |
| from crimsonqueen : |
| Your welcome! And thank you! :) |
| from thecrankyone : |
| http://www.kumandgo.com/ too funny.. I've going to K & G for years. Of course I've also loved Nutter Butters but never very fond of Twin blings |
| from shiloh26 : |
| Thank you for your kind comment. And sure! You could say you knew me before. ;o} Thank you for your support. |
| from nascarwidow : |
| I know what the Kum & Go people were thinking! They were thinking lots and lots of people like you and your sister would drive by and do a double take, triple take, quadruple take; turn around in the middle of the highway to go back. Then they'd go inside see all the souvenir gifts, realize they'd have to buy something so they could take it "home" to prove to their friends and neighbors that "yes, Virginia, there is such a place." They knew exactly what they were doing! What I'm not sure of is whether or not the Whopper Towel people are "in on it" with them!!! Great entry! |
| from iambucket : |
| Wow. Aother Kum & Go frequenter! Right on! Noone ever believes me up here about that store....unless I show the big huge plastic cup. And they ALWAYS have LOTS of TWIN BINGS!!! Race ya to the border Auntie Butthead. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| The last two quizes in your diary....my results were the same. Maybe it's an Aquarian thing! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| do you read weetabix? i think youd enjoy her diary, and she lives in wisconsin. weetabix.diaryland.com |
| from boxx9000 : |
| Aquarius? pretend and for real. Me, too! It's really the best zodiac sign, don't you agree? |
| from thecrankyone : |
| I think I saw some of those at the local Kum & Go (yes its really called that). 100 oz drinking cup. If I drank that much soda at once, I'd a) never be able to leave the lady's room adn b) probably not sleep for a week. Man I remember the days when a large pop was 12 - 16 ounces. Now that's considered a small in most places. Gluttounus bunch of yanks aren't we? |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| You're entry about Ed was touching...beautifully written too. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Nawwww....You're just easily amused. Big Hug! |
| from ms-do : |
| Laughing very hard now.......and shaking head!! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Maybe if you changed the entry's title to "Vaginal Farting 301" you'd get a whole different class of googler. Like, really smart intellectual ones. Love, R xxx |
| from thecrankyone : |
| heheh if you go by the Des Moines/Cummings/Winterset area you can wave Hi towards my auntie.. I've been there many times.. |
| from becahh : |
| Zip very carefully. |
| from ms-do : |
| Thanks Poola, you know as chocolate goes i've always like quantity but your right the finest does go a long way and i love the feeling of the moment in enters the system. |
| from sunnflower : |
| You left me such a nice note on my 300th entry. I am so honored and really appreciate you wonderful words. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| Updated! |
| from niceguymike : |
| I do hope to be able to read everyone and update while I'm gone. Surely *someone* I know there has computer access! But thank you for the good wishes. |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| Don't scare me like that!!!! For a minute I thought I had been transported to Wednesday instead of my favorite day, Friday. But now I understand. I am glad your Wednesday's tracking was so wonderful! Have a good one! |
| from dangerspouse : |
| You know what the best part about taking an unexpected hiatus for a month? Coming back and reading a mass of entries all at once from my favorite folks like you and hissy. Congrats on the play, btw!! I know I should have left you a note sooner, since you were kind enough to leave me a few at my place. But I'm an inconsiderate dickhead and couldn't be bothered. Til now. Ciao, and thanks again :) |
| from poolagirl : |
| Are my notes broken? |
| from chaosdaily : |
| mistakes? who makes mistakes?? |
| from hissandtell : |
| Pout. I knew I'd spelled "accordian" wrongly. Trust a polka-playing gal like you to pick me up on it. Sorry, babe - have been unexpectedly detained in Greece by, well, Greeks. Bearing gifts. Well, big impressive packages, anyway. Should be there by Christmas. Will bring baklava and retsina and dolmades. Can you embed sunflower seeds into your zinc, please? She likes to pick them out gently with her beak. Over and out. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| havent read that one, i like the stories that are series, the more books, the better. i particularly like mary stewarts series. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| Updated! |
| from ms-do : |
| Yes yes it is funny in retrospect, I just hope he never recalls it or if he does its in an amusing way, or respect for his poor single Mum....smile |
| from her-story : |
| I have 8-1/2 feet that sometimes needs a 9 (the curse of having 3 kids)...however, at 14 i think my feet were 8. I think my feet size is in proportion w/ my height (5'6"), however, I know people shorter than me that have size 10s. (eek) I would have my toes cut off if that were the case (sorry big footed women...) |
| from hissandtell : |
| You know, I didn't bat an eyelid at that going-on-stage business because I had watched an interview with Hugh Jackman last night, and one of the stories he told was about how in "Beauty and the Beast" he'd peed himself on stage. Apparently he'd been dehydrated and his naturopath told him to drink plenty of water, but not after 5 o'clock. But he drank too much, was half-way through the performance and desperately had to urinate, but got around it by speaking his lines like Rex Harrison - until the finale when he had to hit a big F sharp and realised that he couldn't do it without releasing his bladder. Do read the transcript of the interview here, darling: http://www.abc.net.au/enoughrope/stories/s1105705.htm - it's worth it! Love, R xxx |
| from wyndspirit : |
| Updated! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Hey Poolie....I'd have to look to find what I named the entry...but I did write of the time I actually did pee on stage (5 or 6...standing in a puddle) Might wanta give it a try some time. LOL |
| from chaosdaily : |
| fine with me, we bake those too. and in a variety of flavors! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| maybe you just havent had the right croissant... how about one filled with some real wisconsin cream cheese and strawberry filling? |
| from invisibledon : |
| thanks for the note and sorry about the root beer thing - I don't mean to drown my readers that would make it very hard to attract new people - so funny you'll drown in the tasty beverage of your choice -not exactly the tag line that attracts people, again thanks for the note and liking my rambling hope you are having a good day |
| from niceguymike : |
| I *finally* got a chance to read your diary, and I love it! Like the others I enjoy on here, you're a positive person with a sense of humor about the many absurdities we run across in life. I'm adding you to my favorites for sure. |
| from ms-do : |
| thanks poolagirl. |
| from niceguymike : |
| Well, I went out shopping for Ho-Hos and came back with five books, a bottle of Irish cream, a bottle of lemberger and two ears of corn. I'd say I'm doomed to fail. |
| from niceguymike : |
| Hey, I've been studying for an hour already, thankyouverymuch! And I'm not worried about chocolate costing more; I'm willing to kick in an extra $6 if it would ensure my success with this test. As it is, though, I think I will rely most on my keen powers of study and retention and save the Ho-Hos until after the exam. |
| from niceguymike : |
| *laughing* I had this great image of myself in the back yard with my feet in a tub of Twinkies. I'm a big fan of Ho-Hos and Swiss Rolls; can I substitute? |
| from chaosdaily : |
| avast there poola, ill be right down!! |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| I don't know where it is next year. The way it works is that after the event, other people start bidding on having it in their city. Wash DC won this year. People submit what they can do for it, how many people can work to put it together and then it is voted on, so we won't know when it is next year until and I'm guessing here, around March of 2005. It has been in Pittsburg PA (2000), Chicago (2001), San Fransisco (2002), TX (2003), and this year DC. This is my first year. |
| from serenaville : |
| I was wondering, may I please have a copy of the jacaranda trees picture? I'd love to make it the wallpaper on my desktop... the trees are just so incredibly gorgeous and spring-like. It's really a great shot! If you don't mind sharing, perhaps you could e-mail it to me? I'd be thrilled, and quite appreciative. Let me know, one way or the other? Thanks! *HUGS!* :) |
| from ms-do : |
| Poola I hear you, and i'm right behind you!! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Well, yes and no, Aunty Poola - I mean, yes, certainly if it were only really nice things, and no if you said mean and hurtful things about me and that unnatural fascination Johnny Depp has for me. Look, I can't help it, okay? He wants me and there's nothing I can do about it. And anyway, I'd feel a whole LOT better if you sent me an emergency care package of some of that divine Angel Hair Pasta Pesto Primavera you two Oracle Sisters gobbled up at lunch time while I was languishing in the Central Perk with all my friends bitching about stoopid Rachel and her stoopid flicky-hair. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| absolutely. its the way i saw you when i first started reading you and olive, with talk of the oracle sisters, and outdoor festivals where you read palms.... its still the way i see you, with long flowing caftans, a kind of flower child..... |
| from chaosdaily : |
| i think #9 fits you the best.... hugs, poola |
| from msmolly108 : |
| Ms Poolagirl, I was told to check out your diary and I'm glad that I did as I haven't laughed hard enough to tinkle in my shorts for months now. Ewwweeeeeuuuu The only bummer is that I feel robbed now as I could have met you in the flesh out in San Diego w/ your favorite niece just recently and ended up not being able to make the journey. My name is Melissa and perhaps that journey to SD will still take place one day for me, if I am fortunate enough to capture the love of whom I truly believe is my soulmate. Until then, keep sharing your unique personality and wit so that we can keep peeing in Minnesota. *smile* ~~ Melissa |
| from crooked-rain : |
| Thanks so much for the compliment you left in my notes. I appreciate it a lot. :) |
| from candora : |
| you are definitely added to my reading list (another reason to petition for additional hours in each day :) |
| from chaosdaily : |
| well at least she didnt review me. and you know, i dont really care! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Hey Ms. Poolie..Ezekiel bread is in the regular grocery store. It's made from a recipe that consist of the ingredients found in the verses of ezekiel (says which ones on the front of the bag). |
| from serenaville : |
| I have A- blood. Does this mean I am meant to be carnivorous? |
| from ms-do : |
| I also wanted a horse badly as a girl. On a sunny day you could see me and 2 of my sisters riding our front fence with our mothers old stinky, laddered pantihose on our heads plaited into long ponytails. Of course my name was Trixie back then!!! |
| from boxx9000 : |
| Why is A+ blood type perfect for being a vegetarian? I am also A+ |
| from meli-melo : |
| I like the way you phrased how you deal with migraines: "Going Zen." I too used to suffer from migraines all the time but it has gotten less and less over the years. I find that drugs don't really help, only tuning out of everything for a while makes them go away. Maybe I will start calling it "Going Zen" too. |
| from serenaville : |
| Thank you, so much, for your very warming note. The feeling is indeed mutual, in a very heartfelt way. I could no sooner delete you, than cut off one of my digits. Reading your entries is an integral part of my days now, and I shudder to imagine those days without reading the delightful things you have to say. You make me smile, and I appreciate that immensely! *HUGS!!!* |
| from wyndspirit : |
| I know. I've settled for the easy answer way too many times. That is one reason I am fighting so bad applying for a job at the call center across the street from my old job, which is hiring right now at what I was making after 4 years at my old job. I've had it hammered into me that I can exist just fine even when I work at a job I hate, that it's best to play it safe. But "safe" IS just existing, not LIVING! I've spent half my life existing, and I desperately want to LIVE. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| Updated! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Miss Poola, i heart you! |
| from sunnflower : |
| I never thought I was a dog but I did think I could fly. I like the way your list of things about you is coming along. Migraines are terrible things and I am sorry you suffer from them. Also, I didn't know there was a dress code for Good Friday! |
| from life-my-way : |
| "I used to think I was a dog..." Thanks for the memory! When my son was about two [and three and I believe four as well] he was Spot. I vividly remember one dr.'s appointment where the dr. was unable to check his developmental milestones because all he would do is whimper and/or bark at her. Ahhh, the joys of parenthood with a boy named Spot. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Well, I was going to name the next pretty hen I got "Miss Poola", but now I'm not so sure. Maybe I'll have to go for something a little more prosaic. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| And I've noticed that if you people watch long enough...eventually ONE of them is going to provide the free entertainment. When it's "Karmic Justice" I just think to myself, "Where's my popcorn?" ha. |
| from laura405 : |
| I love Amadeus too! Tear. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Darling poola, an ancient mariner like you ought to know by know the dangers inherent in chasing an albatross with anything, let alone a big-ass cutting implement. Your penance may be to wander through DiaryLand, albatross hung around your neck, telling your tale until it leaves you free...after all, that's the first thing I ever found at the mommy! Not that I was specifically looking, you understand. (Oh, I fear thee!) |
| from hissandtell : |
| Poolapie, you really are a tease ladling out only 10 things at a time. I want the whole damned plate! With seconds! And we do seem to have lots in common, you know. I'll be there soon to help you smash cruel people into the sidewalk and watch them cry. We'll stand by and laugh derisively and gossip about our hair colourists' techniques, okay? Just as soon as these tiresome trade winds abate...bloody siroccos. (No, wait, that would put me in the Mediterranean, wouldn't it? Gosh, is that an island full of delectable Greek boys I see ahead? I may be some time...) |
| from laura405 : |
| I love the 101 things about you entries! I can't wait to learn more. Must write my own one day! Can I even think of 101 interesting things about myself? Probablement pas! But you sure do not lack what so ever in that area! Such an exciting life you've had so far, and if this is not the case your writing is so great it makes your days seem exhilarating and full of adventure! You write so many entries and I am completely jealous that you have the will power (not to mention the talent) to keep up your diary the way you have. Thank you for being you! - Laura Jane |
| from purplecigar : |
| Hello. I've been away for a few days. I sure did miss reading your entries. Re: police dog. How horrible for you. But how GREAT for you that you've worked it through. Go, you! |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| On the other side of the coin is me. At 5'2" it is almost impossible to squat "over" the toilet without sitting on it. YUCK! Seems that I need a stepstool and you need a toilet raiser. |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Japanese toilets would be a real challenge since you have to squat like a dog to use them. My mom doesn't have long legs, but it's still killer no matter how long your legs are. Not to worry though if you ever come out here~ I can tell you where all the good Western toilets are since I had to hunt them down for my mom! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| hmmm well im 5'9", so ive had that happen to me before... the seat is down waaaay too far, and then you cant get back up. good thing you werent drunk, you might still be there.... |
| from sunnflower : |
| I love your 10 out of 101 things! P.S. I also have long legs for someone who is not quite 5'5". |
| from hissandtell : |
| Well, I don't know how that happened. I'd swear I didn't hit the button twice or anything. But I forgot to tell you how amusing your list is, although the ghost teeth scared me. A lot. And knickers for show and tell? How cute. One of my year one students brought her mother's diaphragm to school for s&t once, all nestled in its little plastic box. Fortunately the mother had an extremely high humiliation threshhold, like most parents at the school, so she laughed it off like a pro. (Which she in fact was, part-time at least.) Love, R xxx |
| from hissandtell : |
| Aw, you sweet silvertongue, poola! Thank you for those beautifully kind and sisterly words. I don't mind if you grovel away, honestly! I'm groveling right back, you know. |

| from chaosdaily : |
| well that makes 3 of us who sucked at algebra and did well in geometry. my algebra teacher hired an upperclassman to tutor me every day before school. and i love to read ... but poola, beets and whipped cream?? thats almost as bad as diaper soup. as to #9, i would expect no less of an oracle sister! |
| from boxx9000 : |
| Thanks for sharing 1-10. I'll be eagerly anticipating the next 10 installments. I especially could relate to 3 things you mentioned. I had such a terrible time with Algebra (flunked it the first time and had to repeat) but I did really well in Geometry. Spatial/visual learners? I also speed read and am good at mazes. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Yeah, sure, I've got a question for you - it's about Dalmatians... |
| from becahh : |
| Miss Poola, You are so right about how to treat kids. When kids are treated as if they can not succeed they will not succeed. standards are lowered for kids and then they have nothing to strive for. Additionally, it teaches peers to expect less. This is not just in kids with learning disabilities but in the general population in regards to basic behavior. Parents have mistaken discipline with spanking when really the two are not the same. Keep expecting more of kids Miss Poola. They will love you for it and rise to the challenge. I will step off of my soap box. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| Having two special ed--excuse me, "resource room" tutored--nephews who would SHINE under those circumstances, I applaud whoever turned those kids over to you without "warning" you about them and let them stand (or fall) on their own merits. People underestimate children--with or without extra challenges--way too often, in my opinion. |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| I can't stand fire crotch and I can't stand JPL. Final three: Fantasia, Latoya, and George. I hope George. I love George. Have I mentioned that I love George? Jennifer Hudson's okay, but as strong as her voice is I don't think she's got a lot of range. Have I mentioned how much I love George? |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| I can't stand fire crotch and I can't stand JPL. Final three: Fantasia, Latoya, and George. I hope George wins. I love George. Have I mentioned that I love George?

| I solemnly promise never to be merely cute on stage when you're directing, unless specifically requested. Not that I think the Fairy Good Witch would EVER have a case of the cutes... |
| from hcatty : |
| heh heh heh heh..... I finally tested all the toys that came with my digital camera. One of the settings was "polarize" ... those were the result! I've got some doozeys, too!! As for Diaper Soup... *gag*... I've been unfortunate enough to have a DUMPSTER full of old used diapers out in the HOT SUN for many many many days... You have my DEEPEST condolances. ALL my sympathy, and which soap did you use? Cause I could smell that junk for a week! |
| from serenaville : |
| Your stories never cease to amaze. Your fortitude is superhuman; between bunny costumes, shaving, and now diapers. I'm once again in a sort of dazed awe. Gads. |
| from hissandtell : |
| And for space travel. With Tang. |
| from olive4ever : |
| I remember a friend in junior high mentioning a wrestler(?)'s recurring phrase about his opponents: "You musta been whupped with a DUMB stick!" I think that handily applies to the cretins who insisted you keep all the diapers for that long. It's inconceivable that they didn't consider the ramifications of that element of the study. Perhaps "stupid" is too kind a word here. And I know what you mean about getting a smell/taste out of your soft palate... |
| from chaosdaily : |
| yuk @ used diaper soup. too bad you couldnt just roll a dumpster under your balcony and toss them off.... |
| from hissandtell : |
| Used diaper soup. Now there's an untapped marketing opportunity for someone. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| i participated in a study once of .... errrr...... feminine products used once monthly... and i had to take the used ones back. yuk. |
| from hissandtell : |
| I see you've invited niceguy to dance the cutie hornpipe with us. I've been blown off course a few times (by dangerspouse's farts, I suspect) and I'm still rounding the Horn as we speak. My goodness, is that the Sandwich Islands I see behind me? Or is that them ahead? |
| from niceguymike : |
| Gosh, I feel so ... omnipresent. Seriously, I've seen you mentioned many places as well. As soon as I can get away from work for half a tick, I want to check out your diary in a big way. Nicely, of course. |
| from olive4ever : |
| Re the diaper study, really, two words scream in my mind: wholly shit!! (yes of course it was deliberate) |
| from olive4ever : |
| My heart tells me popularity contests are for people who don't know how divine they are (pandemic in high school as well as certain professions, like actors), so I couldn't care less about contests like those. If I have plenty of fans at that place, its because of the music, which is exactly the right reason. I'm avoiding all politics and certain vipers like the plagues they are. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Oh my goodness. No, that EDP would be the living end for the poor boy. I, however, am completely prepared to be a passive observer in the process. Or something. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Do I need to state the obvious here about what our old pal dongerboy would do with 960 soiled diapers if he got his hands on them? No, I probably don't. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Oh, yeah - he'd be there in his toga with the popcorn and the KY warming liquid, the naughty dongerboy. And then he'd probably collect up the leftover can of shaving gel afterwards to incorporate it into acts of peversion so profound and disgusting that decorum prohibits listing them here... |
| from olive4ever : |
| Because my friends are my friends, and I make absolutely no apology for loving them, I've mentioned you periodically when it has been germane--particularly when someone has groused that something didnt go well anymore, or it wasn't as much fun as it used to be. I've stated, calmly, "Yes, and it stopped when Poolagirl left." The statement has been met with varying degrees of evasive, seminoncommittal (!!) comments and agreements... what a bunch of c-s losers, I find myself thinking. Uncharitable? Me? Nah. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Yeah, well, I can imagine how patient I'd be waiting in line while one can of shaving gel got passed around 55 people! I'd be so full of happy-happy charitable thoughts about the stupid product before it even got to my armpits. Talk about sloppy seconds! (Yeah, I'd possibly shave myself publicly [but certainly not pubicly] for 100 bucks - but I'd want another 500 or more to stand around and share a sink. Call me selfish...) |
| from lauralgood : |
| wow what an interesting job you have. I would do the shaving experiment for $100 FOR SURE. yeah, you have an interesting job! Laural |
| from purplecigar : |
| "what a pitty" HAAAAAA. You are so funny! I loved that entry. |
| from olive4ever : |
| Heavens to Betsy, those clients need to be smoking a better grade of crack to have come up with that scenario. If you do "get to" host it, I'm grateful I'm too old to participate... but it occurs to me you might do well to advertise for participants in locker rooms at gyms. Those women are accustomed to walking around in quasi-underwear, sweating, and being basically on display the entire time. Good thing I haven't had my breakfast yet by the time I'm treated to some of these views! |
| from treesssa : |
| 1 can for 55 women? Are they insane? are men running this? These people don't know! As a person that hates to shave regularly, i need at least one can to myself when i am in the 'hair state'.Good luck with the survey, this should be fun!hehehe |
| from kissssy : |
| Heya! Found your link through broken-bits. Your diary seems so fun and light! A huge difference from most of the diaries I happen to bounce into. Loved the Feeling Good entry. Kind of seemed like a wake-up call to never-forgiving-grudge-holding girls like me lol. |
| from olive4ever : |
| Brava. Your light is expanding, beauteous Poolie! Methinks you had a resurrection all your own on Easter. |
| from absinthesigh : |
| She is doing the Master Cleanser Fast. I hope she read the book because there is alot more to it than simply drinking the drink and by the sound of it she has way too much cayenne in the mix! It's supposed to taste like lemonade (with maple as sweetening) and is actually quite yummy. I have done that fast many times. I don't anymore because now it seems too sweet to me and I know too much about acid and alkaline in the body (too much sugar creates too much acid in the blood yada yada yada). About the fifth day she is going to be really sorry about that cayenne... {sings "Both ends burning yeah yeah yeah"}. with love and sympathies, ophelia |
| from hissandtell : |
| Cayenne? Ouch. I've just come off 22 days of fasting (hey, I did drink coffee and red wine, so I cheated slightly) and am eating only bland fruit and steamed vegetables for a week or so until everything adjusts. I haven't even touched pepper, herbs or garlic yet, as much as I'd love to, because I fear the consequences on my pure and squeaky-clean inner bits! How bizarre to drink that cocktail you described - and coming from me, that's high praise indeed. Gosh, other people are strange, aren't they? |
| from chaosdaily : |
| ewwwwww shed be better off with plain water, wouldnt you think? although the cayenne might clean her out pretty well hahahha |
| from sunnflower : |
| Happy Easter! |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| I just read (finally) your POY entry for the Picture Perfiect. Cracked me right the hell up!! |
| from boxx9000 : |
| Happy Easter. |
| from dangerspouse : |
| I can't speak for all of them, but THIS Roman (well, Italian) wears flowered pants under his skirt all the time. Anyway, thanks for slapping Jesus, Pooly. He had it comin'. Haven't been able to find a decent money changer near the temple in ages.... |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Oh my~ too funny! You be careful out there and have fun! You know, I've always wanted to be one of those bunnies so I'm living vicariously through your stories! Happy Easter! |
| from lauralgood : |
| Hey Ms. Bunnylady. Just wanted to wish you the best of luck! Keep smiling and writing you make things just a bit less intense! Love Laural |
| from shiloh26 : |
| "It's me again, Margret." -- Sorry, an old joke and line from a Ray Stevens song. While I was still around I decided to do a lil "treasure hunting" through your site and I read both your bunny entry and last week's P-O-Y entry. I *laughed* my head off--pardon the phrase--in fact, I had to reread a few places because I was tearing up. If you think I'm good, then give yourself a bow because *you* are even better. |

| Thank you! :0} It's always nice to get warm fuzzies like yours! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Goodness, I hope you keep your head down and your tail up, and your ears pricked too! What a peculiar thing for her to choose to do when she was claustrophobic. I hope she thinks it was worth it, destroying the beliefs of those poor kids. And me too; I never knew before this very minute that those giant rabbits you see everywhere at this time of year weren't just real ones mutated by myxomatosis, or bloated from too many chocolate eggs, or whatever. Love, R xxx |
| from chaosdaily : |
| geee i sure hope you dont lose your head.... |
| from broken-bits : |
| hey, I came across your diary while looking at poy and decided that I really enjoy reading your diary and I am going to add you to my list of favs, hope you don't mind and I hope you have a happy easter :o) |
| from hcatty : |
| LOL you know what it's doing there, don't you? I baited the fire... mmm... Roasted chicken tonight, baby!! |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| The flowered pants? You should have offered to take them off and wipe his shoes with them. I bet THAT would have sent him over the edge! |
| from hcatty : |
| Dude. That guy should be smacked. Smacked senseless even. HOW is it insulting to Jesus to wear flowers on your pants? UGH!! Hey, check out my POY entry lol you're in it. |
| from kitchenlogic : |
| Oh my god! I would love to run into Mr. Ree-dee-coo-luss! What a hoot! Sorry, that's how I get my entertainment! |
| from snarkypants : |
| Holy crap! Jesus died *today?* I was thinking it was 2000 or so years ago. Shit, break out the hair shirts and black crepe. I gotta watch the news more. |
| from serenaville : |
| What absolute nerve that man had! You made a simple mistake, and not only does he insult you... he lambastes you for your choice of pants on top of it! I truly admire your politeness in the face of his diatribe, because he made himself look even more a fool, if that were at all possible. Ten to one, I would have offered an acerbic: "Well. As there are likely many other things going on in this world insulting the HELL out of Jesus plenty enough right now, they do indeed all pale in comparision to my little "wardrobe malfunction". You are SOOOO right, and THANK YOU SO MUCH for that unsolicited opinion. Mea culpa, Buddy." Arrrgh, that really torques me for some reason. :| |
| from wyndspirit : |
| LOL No comment on the "N" or the fuzzy roof, but it's obviously fall and they're burning leaves. Why they are burning leaves on the FRONT lawn where they will have a big charred spot all winter, I have no clue. Nor do I have a clue why any animal even as dumb as a chicken is standing near a fire. (Maybe he's cold? Maybe he prefers his bugs cooked?) But then, as I said in MY entry, that cottage gives me claustrophobia anyway! |
| from nascarwidow : |
| My goodness, you've been quite "wordy" while I was away! Sorry you didn't get to be a mom to Princess but glad she woke things up for you! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| actually, poola, if you know html good enough, you can have a cool diary for free! |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Your photo of Elliot is beautiful. Yes, dogs have a special place in my heart so your entries about Princess and Elliot have me teary-eyed as well. |
| from hcatty : |
| the picture of the sweet doggie with the sweet old man made me cry... *sniffle*... |
| from purr67 : |
| I am soo sorry about the dog. How hard it must have been to open your heart and then have it not filled. At least you can visit her. Maybe this is also the start of a friendship with someone who may actually need a friend. My misty eyes and heart are with you. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| Updated! 25 books and the year 1/4 done, you're right on track. :) |
| from wyndspirit : |
| Aww, too sweet... And now I'm crying--yes, I AM a sap--and I'm going to start a coughing fit in a moment. Gee, THANKS. (P.S. - Nobody can have too many friends, and it looks like you have found a couple more. You are fortunate, and so are they.) |
| from snarkypants : |
| So sad...but you might make a friend out of the whole thing -- both the old gentleman and his dog, you know, the whole "love me, love my dog" thing. Princess will probably need a good home in a while, and it would probably make him feel better to know that someone who loves her would be willing to take her, rather than someone who would do it grudgingly. Anyhow, you get big gold stars and smiley faces for this. |
| from starlight42 : |
| that's a sweet entry about the dog & the 92 yr old owner. |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| I bet he came to you to scope out his new digs if and when his master leaves this world. That would be nice. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| poola, maybe they dont want the dog. ask them if you can keep it, just tell them you fell in love. |
| from whittywoo : |
| thanks...having a pink and red dorm room was my first attempt at being an actual girl -- quite a feat since i am so disgusting. i hope to adopt a dog soon. i am going to name it belly dancer. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| My point exactly! If the caretakers don't want the dog, they might be glad to "dump" it on you. And the owner would probably be delighted to have their beloved pet--a dog that sweet has GOT to have been loved--in a loving, secure home-for-life. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| My biggest fear is what would become of my pets if something happened to me. If I were terminally ill, and my beloved Prince Charming (a CAT, I swear!) attached himself to another, it would make my burden much lighter. You're one step closer... Perhaps you can contact the owner through this caretaker. |
| from hcatty : |
| SURE! I'd at least make SURE!! how do I always leave an entire word out!?!?!? |
| from hcatty : |
| well I'd at least make that I gave you the FULL compliment and say something like, "Poolie, you're such a NUTcase!" or "Poolie, you're such a case of laughs!" or something equally as dorky... but that's just me ;o) Keep the doggie! I mean... unless her owners come knocking. *ahem*.. yep, that's what I meant. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| you would think someone would be looking for the pooch. have you looked at the local stores on their message boards? or in the paper? |
| from snarkypants : |
| ADOPT HER!!!!! KEEP HER!!!!! LOVE HER!!!!!! Anyone who cared about her would be frantic with worry, and trying to find anything about her. She needs someone to love her. It's YOU! (Sorry, my soft-heartedness for stray collies is busting out here.) |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Auntie Poola, would you like me to predict where this puppy and puppy's mommie thing is going to end up? You may as well invest in a good sweeper and a few rolls of packaging tape (we live with a golden retreiver, some of his hair is 10" long! Packaging tape is the only thing that removes it from black clothing. You should see me preparing to cook FOOD for guests, rubbing yards and yards of tape across my boozems. (HUGE boozems, I should say. Har!) Totally worth it though, the dog may be a big hairy needy thing that weighs and eats more than I do, but when I lie on the floor to watch the latest Meg Ryan chic flic (currently Kate and Leopold) he snarfs over and (this part is a little embarrassing) SPOONS with me, and THAT, my friend, is worth the hair issue. |
| from absinthesigh : |
| Your lovely Dog Found or Found Dog looks just like my Ruby! Ruby is Border Collie/Burmese Mountain Dog mix. She tries to herd me all the time. She used to herd the cats until we moved them to another floor. She is almost 13 now and stone deaf. Her favorite thing is to lay by the front door and bark if she notices anything, like a leaf or a pine cone, dare to cross her inot her vision. She's quite brave and true. with love, ophelia |
| from dangerspouse : |
| My wife has DangerMelons too (but you knew I was gonna write that, right?). If hers are any indication, just give 'em a good thump next time and as long as you don't hear any escaping gas (from either end), you're good to go. Oh, and keep the doggie. The longer you wait, the higher the reward will be offered. |
| from life-my-way : |
| Thanks for the melons--I laughed so hard that my 8 year old son got pissed at me. "What's SO FUNNY???" Exploding melons? He didn't get it, but I adored it. Oh, yes, and keep that dog please. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Keep her. My furry princess is sitting at my feet as I type too, with her head on my foot. I love her more every day. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Is that Puppy Love I hear in your voice??? Face it, you're hooked and you are her's as much as she is yours. |
| from sunnflower : |
| Re the dog. It's inevitable - make room for doggie! |
| from hissandtell : |
| The Australian bush is rife with tales of frustrated alcoholics on isolated stations fermenting moonshine in watermelons and pumpkins. I've never tried it myself, of course, preferring my alcoholic oblivion to be derived from straight rum or tequila these days, but I'm disappointed an old salt like you isn't able to report its effects to me. And I humbly suggest a new book title for your consideration: "Women Who Listen to the Watermelons: Myths and Stories About the Wild Crazy Woman Archetype". It just might work, you know. Love, R xxx |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Geez, do you have any boring days, where no one shoots at you and fruit does not try to kill you? |
| from hcatty : |
| Ya know... I saw that title... and thought that maybe you'd written another gem about Dangerspouse, instead it was another jewel about you!! Either way, I love your entries LOL |
| from chaosdaily : |
| did you eat any of that watermelon?? i mean, if it was fermented........ we used to inject vodka or rum into melons and leave them sit overnight... made a very refreshing treat on a hot summer day, but at adult only parties... |
| from sunnflower : |
| You are such a do-gooder! A stray dog and a drive through the desert. What are the odds that this dog will be staying with you - pretty good? |
| from absinthesigh : |
| That was supposed to say "your ad". My fingers got a little wacky there. with love again, ophelia |
| from absinthesigh : |
| The stray dog may have a chip. See if your local vet has a chip scanner and if so take her in. They can read the chip and contact the owner. We have reunited many a pet owner and pet that way. No chip... well finders keepers 8-). Oh! Also beware of false owners! If you do receive any calls on your Found ad be sure the people can describe things about her that is not in upir ad! There are very bad people out there looking for animals to sell to.. well.. other bad people! Our Search and Rescue friend has some very sad stories so be careful! I don't mean to sound bossy %-). I get all anxious about animals. with love, ophelia |
| from dangerspouse : |
| Geez, y'know it couldn't have been TWO MINUTES after I hit "Enter" that I realized "Oh shit! It's April, not March!!" And went back and edited the entry. Figures YOU would be the one to spot my gaffe. I'm sorry that sniper missed you, ya marble thief. |
| from her-story : |
| "I always chewed gum to keep my spit supply fresh and plentiful." (See, women DO spit... heh) I remember my first visit to Minneapolis/St. Paul. I was visiting a college and the tour guide drove us through the Wendy's drive thru to explain the importance of frosties... |
| from dangerspouse : |
| Yeah, it take about a half hour for my wife's bush to heat up, too. Thank god for KY and shoehorns - I rarely bother waiting that long. Hey, what are you doing poaching agates? You lost your marbles?! |
| from whittywoo : |
| just as i am thrilled to be back! thanks for my note! |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Nah...I wouldn't call what you did being a BAD teacher. In fact, what better way to teach kids about appreciating a moment?! Like life, sometimes things get sidetracked and you have to be able to enjoy the moment, have a few laughs and know that it's okay to take a break from the beaten path every now and then! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Oh, I love The Ten Commandments. I love Anne Baxter, you see. Do enjoy her performance on my behalf, dear poola. During filming, I remember reading, Charlton started off with loads of curly chest hair, in which Anne's small nose got lost during a love scene. He disappeared for a while and came back all shaved and baby-bottom smooth. Oh, and it's got Angela Lansbury in it, too. Love her as well. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Yeah, well, I'm sure in the past I've tapped a few places I shouldn't have because I couldn't see what I was doing. Of course, the being in costume at the time had nothing to do with it. The rum, sure. Oh poolapie, will you dress up for me when I reach your shores? (I'm rounding the Horn as we speak!) |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| I haven't read the whole sTiger story but my first impression is this. If he wanted to fondle someone it would be so he could feel them, right? How much can you feel in that outfit? I wonder if it was a mountain out of a molehill deal. |
| from radiogurl : |
| I admit I came over to read because of comments from Dangerspouse - but your writing is also superb, no matter what the subject. I'll be back, though it may be in catch-up mode! |
| from wench77 : |
| Toe jam with a toothpick? You are damn lucky you are not getting splinters underneath your toenails. That's what the little pointy end on the file thing in nailclippers is for, baby! As for vaginal farts. Well, there is no sphincter or anything to keep the vagina closed. It is normally squished shut just from the weight of all your internal organs. But when those organs are held away from your vagina due to gravity (such as in your yoga move where they are suddenly dropping towards your lungs, or the doggy sex position with your hips up and head down, where your organs ... ie intestines, bladder, etc, fall down into the front of your belly cuz of gravity), it creates a vacuum effect on the empty elastic cavity that is your vagina. Since said cavity has a hole to the outside with no sphincter (such as your butthole, or the lips on your mouth which you can squeeze shut), when a vacuum is created, air is sucked into it. Then when you right yourself, or bear down (as in doing situps), the air inside will exit again, making the flesh around the external opening proot. Yup. That is as scientific of an explanation as I can give you. So if you go into any positions where your organs move away from your vagina, and then out of those positions again, you are gonna get a vaginal "fart". Luckily these are not gasses of digesting food like butt farts, just air that has gone in and wants out again. yay. Isn't it less embarrassing now?!! LOL! I'm still more boggled by the toothpicks under the toenails. Don't do that 'kay!! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Wow, you put an entirely different twist on it on than I had expected. Having never worn one of these kinds of costumes, I wouldn't have considered the "big hands" part of it (really). If I hear more details on it, I'll keep you posted. Seriously, I wonder if his lawyers will use all that as part of their defense...ha, just thought of something "If the paw don't fit..." |
| from chaosdaily : |
| guess you have to be high to deal with the druggies, huh? |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| (stuffy British accent:) I present this award to Auntie Poola: She Whose Automobile MOST FITS Her Personality. And THAT is a compliment, darling, you are unique and full of character. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Ahhh, so Peter Pan is in one corner of the windshield. I wonder...could cutie and dongerboy be right? Just a thought... |
| from wyndspirit : |
| I never knew too many of the locals, just my sisters and my few NDSCS friends. Now, my sisters... I used to say Nancy knew half the people in Wahpeton, and Brenda knew the other half! Both are very sociable, and between Nancy and Dan's lawn care business and Brenda's very active participation in school stuff and IVCF, they knew just about everybody. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| Yes, that is the person I freaked out. :) I know her area very well, used to live in Wahp. |
| from serenaville : |
| Thank you, so very much, for adding serenaville to your faves/buddy list! The comment in your profile was very warming. I'm still smiling! The honor of being added and read regularly, is one that never ceases to thrill me. Most appreciated, thank you again! *HUGS* :) |
| from hissandtell : |
| Hmmm, as a former English teacher myself, I'm wondering: is there something faintly arousing about the line, "preserve the English tongue" - or is it just me? |
| from her-story : |
| Aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww... you made my day... better. I swear that I thought I saw KOALA NUTS, but quickly realized it was KOLA. Not for nothing, but doesn't the kola nut have to do with recycled beans eaten by goats or something? Or is that another coffee bean... I forget. (I'd stop drinking coffee if it were made with recycled beans that came out of a goat's butt.) |
| from hissandtell : |
| Courtesy ****! Surely not even? You know, if you dyed his hair black, gave him a gold lame jacket and decorated his fingers with big diamond rings, that idol could be the new Wayne Newton... |
| from purplecigar : |
| Hi there! Thanks so much. I'm pretty new to all this, but I sure do like it. I notice you listed Harper Lee as your favorite author. That alone will endear me to you forever, but, your diary kicks ass as well! Thanks again. |
| from needisaymore : |
| ACK! That moment of blind panic when you can't remember the words!! I have experienced that and even thinking about it now makes me break into a sweat!! Now, granted, I haven't experienced an entire trio blanking out--hilarious story! You have so many great stories. Keep 'em coming! |
| from serenaville : |
| Testify! Krispy Kreme doughnuts are just downright awful tasting. Nasty, nasty little things. My eldest daughter and I made up a haiku about them. I'm struggling to recall it, but one line had the words "Sits in my stomach like bricks". Also, way back when, I did a silly little poll about people's fave doughnuts. Pink box store won! I'm with you, poolagirl. |
| from purr67 : |
| I agree that he is not the American Idol but he does have a unique voice that makes him different. I am rather disappointed in the choices for this American Idol. By the way I enjoy your writing very much. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| Ah, connections! I just innocently freaked out a fellow NDer I ran across the other day, who thought we may have worked for the same company at some point. (Possibly same company, definitely different location.) I do hope she realizes I don't intend to track her down and stalk her! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Gosh, you are a snarky one today, aren't you? Those KK donuts just reached our shores last year, amid much hoopla, but I have not yet succumbed on principle. And neither shall I. And the appeal of pink boxes to men? Do you really have to ask? C'mon, poola-pie! Work with me here! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| how long is visiting dude staying? |
| from treesssa : |
| Yay!! Small world indeed! I met a person online whose brother lives 3 houses away from me.Glad you found some new online friends!The internet is a wonderful place. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| yea, 3 in one day is something to remember! and poola... speechless? definitely a day to remember..... *hugs* |
| from hissandtell : |
| Koala nuts! How hysterical. Now I can't even remember what I was going to write to you! |
| from her-story : |
| LOL...I thought you wrote Koala nuts for a second. I was wondering where you got THOSE... |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Yeah, Yeah, tell to someone who believes it!! I'm ain't a-scared, I gots me my "dangerspouse"!!!! He'll save me!!! If he's not busy uhhhh....Well, I still ain't scared! Much! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Hey, who're you calling a weirdo? But I should be delighted to have you play me, dear poola. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| poola, you are a nut!! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Well, you know when you go bangin' on nuts that the heads gonna go....never mind. Wrong kind. ha! |
| from absinthesigh : |
| You mentioned the name Buster... is your TP Lovin' Dog named Buster? The reason I ask is I have a cat named Buster and he is TP Craaaazy!! If he gets his little mitts on a roll of toilet paper he shreds it so the bathroom (or whatever room he manages to wrangle the roll into) appears to have suffered a winter storm. with love, ophelia |
| from hissandtell : |
| Poola undresses dogs! What that pantless dongerspouse said about yo' momma might just be right! (Forgive me, I have no idea why I just turned on you like that. I do hope you'll ignore it and still let me join your happy seafarin' band to take advantage of that cutiepie. Meow.) |
| from dangerspouse : |
| HaHA, I do indeed know the classic CheeseDoodle joke! Trust me, Lil' Elvis is already as multi-hued as a Benneton commercial after years of applying various "aids". Once you go black...and yellow...and green...and orange...and pink...and cyan...and plaid...you never go back, baby. |
| from dangerspouse : |
| CAT FIGHT! CAT FIGHT!! (Dangerspouse, pantless, settles back with an industrial tub of popcorn, a fresh tube of KY Warming Gel, and 2 boxes of Kleenex.) Have at it, bee-otches! |
| from wench77 : |
| haha! I love your people-watching categories. I'd probably try not to be at Disneyland at all. :) OR having sex in the Pirates of the Carribean ride. Though I am emotionally allergic to Pirates now. (my ex was absconded by one, as well as looking like Johnny Depp on the cover of the dvd... argh) LOL! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Give WHAT up?? You and Hiss both... if you're not after my Poop-deck, what is it you're wanting me to give up??? Oh, how confusing!!! I know, you're both trying to drive me mad. That's it, isen't it??? Well, it won't work...It was a short drive, so I already drove myself, so THERE!! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Here's a riddle for you...What�s a pirate always looking for, even though it�s right behind him? His booty! Better be kissin' your goodbye!!! Aaarrrghhh! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Aye, all my riggin's intact and ready to have some fun with the dirty wench. I be waitin'. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Yeah, yeah, let me go buy some pirate boots so I can shake in them! "hissandtell" is only putting up a mere smoke screen...YOU'LLLLL SEE!!! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Yes, I see you've beet me to the punch with your pathetic little note to "hissandtell". BUT....You're forgetting....I have her email address. Bwaaaaahhhhhaaaaa! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Arrggh-arrggh, Cap'n Poolie, and I've poked the Cabin Boy down from the crow's nest and got him shinin' up the golden bolt as we sail. Aye, and our tall masts is castin' an eerie shadow over the decks as the full mainsail flaps in the blow, and oh them yardarms is wide, and we be the wildest bunch of salties that ever sacked the Spanish Main, even though 'tis the Mother Ocean we be married to, and arrggh young cutie's days is numbered... |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| First..."hissandtell" loves me! Everybody love ME! That note she left was just to lull you into a false sense of security. So, you better keep your swashbuckling pirate hands off my poop-deck! |
| from needisaymore : |
| You always play the BEST games! I'm putting your people watching game on my list for the next outing (modified to fit the non-Disneyland location, of course). |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Hey Miss Poola, glad you're back safely! You didn't fall in and accidently pee in the Tea-cup ride water, did you? I'm sure Disney security would've swooped down and exterminated you in a very friendly and positively sun-shiney manner! When you said that about the people who want to stuff their kids in the trash can, it reminded me of one Easter, many years ago. My cousins and I were grumbling around Grandma's house, all grumpy 'cause we had to color Easter eggs when all we wanted to do was run wild outside, over hill and dell. Uncle Jim finally got fed up with all the ungrateful brattiness going on, and he bellered at us, "YOU ARE GOING TO SIT DOWN AND COLOR EASTER EGGS, AND YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE FUN, GODDAMMIT!!!" |
| from wvlady : |
| heheheh...the funniest look I ever saw on my ex-BF's face was when we took my kids (6 and 9 at the time) to Disneyland and he found out that there was not one place in the park that he could buy a beer...lol |
| from sunnflower : |
| Disneyland - fun, fun, fun. I'm a big kid and I hope you were one too! |
| from dangerspouse : |
| Have a cheesy day in the Land of Mouse, babe! I like those pics of you, btw.... |
| from hissandtell : |
| Do NOT try to make ANYTHING with Velveeta! That is all. |
| from hcatty : |
| You forgot: "Never cook bacon in the nude." !!! |
| from chaosdaily : |

| from lauralgood : |
| OH! I love the tea cups! I know you will have lots of fun. Laural |
| from hissandtell : |
| Would that be Tomorrowland? Yes, I went with my sister when I was eighteen. It was a blast. Hey, how about the Pirates of the Caribbean ride? Give that devilish Cap'n Sparrow one for me, too! |
| from hissandtell : |
| The teacups are my favourite, too! No, really! And do you want to borrow my Davy Crockett cap for when you visit Frontierland? |
| from absinthesigh : |
| aww go on with ya! <blush>. with love, ophelia P.S. I *LOVE* Disneyland! You be so lucky!!! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Give the mouse one for me! And I've forgiven you now, missy, over that shameless display of one-upwomanship earlier. That's no way to treat your sisters-in-arms. So yeah, come on over and bring the (coyote) piss, baby! |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Oh you lucky! I want to go to Disneyland too! By the way, I didn't dare chuckle at your previous entry. The law of karma works overseas as well so even if I didn't see it, I wasn't about to giggle. |
| from hissandtell : |
| I forgot cabin-boy. You know you want him. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Listen, missy. I've just been to our communal boyfriend's notes and seen this: "Somehow, I don't think I could take you anywhere." Yes, I'm onto you, you sneaky wench. If that's not a big wide-eyed and bushy-tailed come-on I don't know what is. You want them all, don't you - dangerspouse, tow-truck man, grease-monkey, wiener-tipped man, pope-in-a-box...and let me add right now that both Cutie and I are perfectly capable of taking him anywhere. And any time. And every which way. And don't you forget it. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Was it your CARS oil that got changed or???? Did he throw in a LUBE JOB??? Sorry, guess "hiss" and "danger" are starting to rub off on me. And speaking of "dangerspouse" I've given that man the best notes and emails of my life, and this is how he treats me??? He never told ME he was coming our way. NOR did he invite ME along for pasta. That...that..MAN! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Why, you little grease-monkey vixen. Lucky you letting him check your oil levels. And while I have your attention, our "sweet little dangerspouse" said he's bringing his hamster and coming to ME for a visit, too, and you don't see me crowing about it all over DLand, do you? HUSSY. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| Updated... And yeah, my sister's husband was hanging out with his brother at the garage playing cards at least once when he ignored a AAA call till he felt like going. Doesn't seem right to me, either. Granted, the guy is a bit of a jerk to begin with, but it seems very wrong that they should be "penalized" for taking a AAA call to begin with. Hopefully they don't treat all garages like that! The one time a coworker uses his AAA on my behalf, they were very prompt and courteous. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| My best friend's BIL is a tow truck driver. If they get a call from AAA, he finishes his card game before he bothers to head out. According to HIM, AAA pays them peanuts and they hate dealing with them. So he says. May or may not be true with AAA contracts with other garages, just saying. Doesn't excuse rudeness, but might explain it. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Oh Sweetie, how funny. I for one am amazed that your flirtatiousness unmoved him. I thought all these auto-boys were professional flirts! I fondly remember Oxy Man, whom I met at my local "Smitty's" who had a long black curly dude-mullet and the BIGGEST moustache ever, like someone out of Dr Hook, telling me that he could take a car apart completely with his oxy torch in less than 30 minutes - and oh boy, if a boast like that doesn't get a girl into a hot swoon I don't know what does! |
| from absinthesigh : |
| Okay I am going to sound like an old fudey-dudey however, I would report Mr. Rodent Under Nose to AAA. They have contracts with repair places to bring the cars there and if Mr. Uni-Stache dropped a car in the middle of their drive it could mess up business for them, plus it's unprofessional etc. etc. etc. I would be anonomous in my complaint, being the coward that I am, but if one of my contract employees did something like that I would want to know. Can you tell I have a thing about rude tow truck guys?? They have a hard job and I am always nice and a big tipper, if they are mean I give them what for by tattling like a school girl. with love, ophelia (feeling roudy and waving her tiny fist in the air with flourish and panache) |

| Oh MAN! When I come out to visit you this summer (I did mention that, didn't I?) you HAVE to take me there. Boisterous Italian restaurants are the only restaurants where my behavior doesn't usually result in a call to the police. I'm a paisan, after all! Funny, funny stuff Poolie! :) |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Yes, Miss Poola, even LENT can be fun, if you give up the right things! Be sure and get a LARGE anti-pasto tonite, on me, I'm buying, I'm RICH* and in a GOOD MOOD! (*rich in spirit. After The Great Mini-van Purchase of Two-Ought-Ought-Four, it is Spaghettios and Wonderbread for ME for the next 60 months). Love to you, you enrich my life every day with your friendship and generosity. signed, Dawn |

| Hey I ate at a place like this in Fort Lauderdale. What a blast. Since we had a group of 16 we got to eat in the Pope room. It is a round table in a little alcove with a lazy susan in the middle and the bust of the Pope smack in the middle of that. When people walked by we had to say "How ya'doin'?" in our best Tony Sapranos voice. Since it was my birthday along with another person at our table, they made us stand on our chairs while people sang. Then they took all of our kids (11 in total) and dragged them through the resturant to sing at other celebrating patrons. Fun stuff |
| from hissandtell : |
| Yes, our communal boyfriend said you can't cook, as I recall, when he was here making me a really luscious pigs' ears dish. You ought to get him around to give you some lessons, missy. |
| from hissandtell : |
| What exactly do you mean by "a big-ass plaster bust of the pope"? Is he kneeling down kissing the ground? |
| from chaosdaily : |
| we all bow to you, master |
| from hissandtell : |
| And I misspelled "wiener" earlier, too. I don't know what is going on here in the part of my brain that tells me how to spell. It's just throwing me random letters and chuckling, "Hehe, that'll keep her going for a while." I'm sending myself to the corner to read the dictionary now. |
| from hissandtell : |
| I'm dreadfully upset right now because I misspelled "mizzen". I now realise sadly that no buccaneer worth his salt would ever want to even meet me, let alone share that bottle of rum in his pants...but do let me know how you go in the life-quest for "The Ultimate Rum Bottle", poola-pirate! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Well, where do YOU keep your bottle of Mount Gay overproof rum, if not down your pants? Or are you and your pirate mateys too busy singing sea shanties and tattooing anchors on each other's firm young buttocks with your fish scalers, and lashing the cabin boy to the mizzern mast with your biggest, firmest ropes, to ever worry about rum? |
| from hissandtell : |
| Galsat Pacu. Yeah, I went out with him years ago. Enigmatic Hungarian mobster. Reminded me of Keyser Soze in "The Usual Suspects". Shadowy fellow. Hard to pin down. Stood me up. A lot. Bastard. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| geeez you didnt know what the pacu was??? you should have asked me!!! lol |
| from hissandtell : |
| Let's hope it's not the short bus with smelly-haired girl and weiner-tipped man. And I was an English Lit. major once, too! |
| from hissandtell : |
| No, it's okay, sweetiepie, I wouldn't want you to have to go through the dirty wash looking for another 95c. But thanks for thinking of me. (Well, maybe just one handcuff - and then you could still buy a small cup of coffee with the change?) |
| from hissandtell : |
| Now remind me, poola-pie - how much were those purple furry handcuffs again? |
| from hissandtell : |
| Meant to tell you I never was very good at limericks. I kind of fell off the rails during Acrostic poetry in year three and never quite got back on. All that alphabet stuff was just so confusing. And clerihews? Crap! Shape poems? Shite! Sonnets? Sucky! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Gosh you're clever. I love it! I'm so relieved that one of the rhyming words wasn't "failure"...and I rather like rakes, too - the more dissolute and debauched, the better. |
| from olive4ever : |
| OK, there's now an image next to my profile. It's a colored-pencil drawing of me riding a dolphin... I'm "wearing" too much lipstick, but the dolphin looks good. And why not, swimming free in the ocean. I remember folks in Hollywood talking about using Preparation H under their eyes to reduce puffiness, and the idea made me shudder. |
| from thecrankyone : |
| Excuse me while I roll on the floor and laugh. I have no idea what he wants, but might be enclined to go with Cosmic's idea of Prep H facials. I've heard of that also. What kind of "business" does this guy run. I had a few other idea's but unless your client is marketing to XXX stores I doubt he would want to hear them. LOL.. Thanks for the much needed laugh |
| from ms-do : |
| �Promote the butt lack facials� Help those people with small arses with lots of pimples on them? Facials that make your face feel as soft as a baby's bum? Prevent your arse fat being injected into your face, just have regular mini facials? Don't wear your heart on your sleeve, wear a set of tight buns on your face?? god only know but i really want to know now!!!! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Perhaps he's a "butt-head" and has found there to be a lack of facial products for his problem? |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| Hey, have you given any thought to going to JournalCon this year? |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| Ok, years ago and maybe even now, women have used "Preperation-H" around their eyes. Believe it or not, it does the sme thing to small wrinkle lines as it does to your hemroids. It shrinks them. Maybe they are saying that they want to promote a product that doesn't insinuate other obsolete remedies. They want something "new and fresh". |
| from hissandtell : |
| Hmmm, it's a tricky one but I think I can help. There's a famous Australian song called "Pub With No Beer" that contains the memorable line, "There's a far-away look on the face of the bum" that always leaves me pondering. Once I've stopped laughing, that is. Because I'm twelve. The point is, there's obviously a vast untapped market out there and your task, I imagine, is either to suggest strategies to entice those bottoms whose faces are vague and unkempt - possibly from being sat on all day, inevitably leading to those pesky squashed pugilistic noses, unsightly cellulite on the cheeks, dry chafed lips and clogged pores (or, indeed, on occasion, perhaps even to appeal to those bland faces which are a bit deficient in the strong-noble-features-generally-attributed-to-desirable-bottoms department) to engage in regular beauty treatments so that they may realise their full potential. We all deserve a little luxury. Even arseheads. |
| from olive4ever : |
| Yowsa. After I stopped giggling ... repeating, over and over, "butt lack, butt lack..." and trying to figure out WHAT IN HELL it could really mean even as I went on tangent after aural tangent, I hafta ask: do you know enough about his inventory to surmise what ingredient or name "butt lack" could actually stand for? Probably not "botox." Does he carry exotic products? Y'know something that might've been extracted from some assless-animal's anal gland that would give the user cheeks as soft as a baby's butt? Sheesh! I'm a professional editor, and this isn't editing, this is TRANSLATION. It may need a field trip. (or in his lexicon, a feel drip. OMG.) |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| I kid you not. He was being charged with check forgery. I'll email more details. Site meter: I thought I'd like, but it's depressing (low #s) Guess I'm just not exciting enough. Also varies great deal from stats that make no sense to me. |
| from sunnflower : |
| Thanks for your very kind note. I'm glad to be part of the Dland community of diarists. Your entry on the coyote made me think of a line in Bram Stoker's Dracula when he hears the wolves howling and says somelike like - listen to them, the children of the night, what sweet music they make. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Oh, fuck the moment. Do you know what the old Australianism is about having a dingo's breakfast? A piss and a look around? Well, I'm sure it can be equally applied to your coyote. In fact, I suspect Thomas McGuane's already used it once or twice in his books, the dirty derivative cowboy. |
| from hissandtell : |
| You know, poola, I hate it when you write such achingly beautiful stuff as you did about the coyote, because it just makes me want to sit in the corner and wail, "I am not worthy!" And it means I can't leave you a naughty note, either, because it would destroy the moment. |
| from hissandtell : |
| So did you stop off for a cold one? Or did you decide to have a stiff one first? |
| from dangerspouse : |
| I hope after your Ms. Gonzalez ordeal you had time to stop off for a cold one.... |
| from dangerspouse : |
| Oh no! Those are FAUX cow butts! My dream is shattered.... |
| from her-story : |
| ya... tho I think RuPaul is much cuter... (Smister?) |
| from sunnflower : |
| I love that cute picture of you in your profile. I just want to hug you! Now, about Mrs. Gonzalez - I believe she appreciated the floral variety and you're ability to rearrange a room swimming in flowers for maximum effect. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Nice arrangement! Big stems! Listen, poola-pie, I have to register a teensy protest about the fact that dongerspouse dishes the down-and-dirty snake-talk with you, and then I only get to find out about it second-hand. You tell him from me he'd better lift his game, okay? I'm not doin' no cheap-ass sloppy seconds for any man! Well, not without a few drinks, anyway. |
| from hcatty : |
| something I forgot, earlier. Happy St. Patty's Day! :o) |
| from her-story : |
| Poola... poola... have you ever seen old tv footage of wayne when he was younger? chubby white girl, that's what he looks like... tsk tsk I can't figure out why women fall over crying and screaming his name if he looks like he should be modeling sears clothing in their spring catalog. |
| from hcatty : |
| So... I take it you've had quite a few interesting and... odd...... jobs... ? |
| from randommuse : |
| Wow, what a floral arrangement. Was Mrs. Gonzalez's birthday the same day as her funeral? |
| from dangerspouse : |
| Oooh! I get to use one of my favorite jokes: "What did they find when they did the autopsy on Jeffrey Dahmer? - Jimmy Hoffa!" I'll drink to that. (Doesn't Hiss-n-tell leave the best notes, the bitch? I'm so jealous of those snakes she's been jerking off....) |
| from bettyalready : |
| HEY! I didn't see your note until just now. The day before St patricks. I'm glad to hear from you! I have a lot of catching up to do, dudette. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Ken Doll is just SO DROPPED. I've looked under his cape, too, and I completely understand why Barbie went across to an Australian boogie-boarder, even if he were named Blaine (eeek). Now Ken is free to hang out in the leather bars with GI Joe and Action Jackson (or Michael Jackson) and Barbie finally gets her a piece of a real man! And once you've tried an Australian bloke - even a plastic one - you'll never go back. |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| Liberace isn't dead. Elvis told me. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| nice pic, poola. have you ever read golfwidow? she has a brew review site in her diary..... just click on the link to her in my diary.. |
| from hissandtell : |
| And I'm awfully sorry about my spelling of pamapasas, too. I think there were far too many "a"s in that first one. I've fixed it now. |
| from hissandtell : |
| And don't you be confusing Li'l Richard with Li'l Elvis, either. That really would be the Battle of the Bouffants (or mullets). Except, of course, now I understand that Li'l Elvis would win by a foot or more. And while I'm on that subject, you are the only woman I know who's admitted even a vague interest about what's under Liberace's cape. That is all. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Actually Elvis is down there with them, too, and those sequinned spandex jumpsuits are a bastard to keep the pamapas away from (and the gauchos and vaqueros, incidentally) when he's doing those high karate kicks. And his bouffant rises higher than the rest put together - with the exception of Little Richard, who isn't officially dead, I know, but how would you tell? |
| from dangerspouse : |
| I would never joke about 10 inches like that! What guy would want to short himself by 2 inches? |
| from dangerspouse : |
| Everybody sing! "Sand between my toes, white stuff on my noooose! I, I, I, wanna be a lifeguard (HelpHelpHelpHelp!)" Nice pic - it's just how I've always imagined you. You sure that's zinc oxide, though? Something tells me it's just poor hygene. |
| from her-story : |
| That tingler thing is frightening. Almost like that roller brush on the market not long ago... you know, the electric spinning thing that 'didn't tangle or knot your hair,' but you KNOW it had to... some model with shiny thick hair got stuck in that thing and they had to shave her hair off to set her free. Besides, if you need wirehangers to massage your scalp, it's time to wash your hair with shampoo instead of dish soap. I'm totally thinking Wayne is a chick... a chubby faced shim with a penache for retro clothing and big friggin sideburns. |
| from randommuse : |
| The "Tingler" (tm) looks like a kitchen wisk that has been cut apart. |
| from half-n-half : |
| i just stumbled upon your site. you're funny! but yeah, the tingler thing, my sister and brother-in-law have it, and it is the kind of thing they pass around at dinner parties....it feels real good though! |
| from dangerspouse : |
| We've got a collection of French Tinglers already. They're a lot smaller, and feel good, but sometimes they get tangled in my pubes. Kinda like my cat. |
| from snarkypants : |
| Ha! I also thought "who the hell would buy that thing?" after seeing the picture. It looks like it would tingle your scalp into a mass of bleeding ulcers. |
| from serenaville : |
| You are absolutely hysterical. Consider me an instant fan. Welcome to my faves list!! :D |
| from hissandtell : |
| Vincent Price. Swoon. I met him at a hairdressing salon years ago. He was divine. I would have been thrilled beyond belief to let him massage my head with a balloon whisk until stiff peaks formed. |
| from her-story : |
| I just learned that Wayne sang Danke Schoen ...and for years I thought it was an old fat woman singing it... you know, the version from Ferris Bueller's Day Off... it was WAYNE... not a fat old lady... *My Bad* lol |
| from hissandtell : |
| Meant to tell you that a friend in Phoenix was in the dentist's waiting room one afternoon with Stevie Nicks. Just imagine her in all her gypsy glory, with her legs crossed, quietly reading "Good Housekeeping". My friend said he could do little except gaze at her adoringly and keep humming "I can't wait, I can't wait". |
| from hissandtell : |
| Mmmm, Wayne Newton - say, poola, isn't he right up there with Frankie Avalon and Jack Lord in the friggin' huge bouffant hair department? I can well understand why you'd be deep in fantasy mode right now. (Is a Bouffant better than a Mullet ? So hard to decide.) But I think the man in the dentist's chair is more likely to be Roy'n'Siegfried, just quietly. Sorry. |
| from becahh : |
| Love the fertility beads. Sadly, I may have bought these during my days of trying to get knocked up with the second child. Luckily, thing #2 did make it into the world. I think it was a cumulative effect. |
| from dangerspouse : |
| A puppy, huh? Well....ok, I am paper trained. Thanks for not saying anything about a "mullet" :) |
| from hissandtell : |
| So that's it? All I have to do is remember to move the black marker clockwise (but what about if you turn the beads over - how confusing would that be? You wouldn't know if you were coming or going) each day and I'm protected? As long as I stay away from boys on the ten white bead days? Wow! I want me one! ("Not tonight, darl, it's a wbd, sorry.") And maybe when I'm finished with it I can use it to buy Manhattan Island. |
| from life-my-way : |
| Do you reckon that they made the brown "go ahead and jump my bones" beads look like a string of cat turds on purpose? Because, well, they do. I'm just saying is all. |

| from hissandtell : |
| Re: the rooster. They're lightning-quick on the draw, as you would know. Have you heard this joke? Q: What did the rooster say to the hen? A: I'm going to fuck you then! |

| You mean Diva #2 ate the chicken after you'd just scraped the wheat product off it? She was obviously a rank amateur in the whiny-allergy department. Some people I've met wouldn't have even touched it unless it had been kept separate in the refrigerator and cooked in a special baking dish. (And I did a similar naughty thing once with a "dairy-allergy" stricken relative - I put LOTS of butter and milk in the mashed potato. And into everything else I cooked, too. Oddly, he lived. And had seconds. And thrived.) |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Yet both still single! What's that tell ya? ha |
| from wench77 : |
| Yeah that was a great Diva story. I love the part about the water. The funny thing is that A LOT of bottled water is tap water. Some people can be allergic to the chlorine in the tap water, but then they just have to leave it sit for a day and it will evaporate out. I loved the email thingie too. And WHAT do you write about to give you ALMOSTas bad a rating as ME??! GRIN! |

| That was GREAT! Almost as funny as Dangerspouse :) Really, I laughed heartily at the terrific imagery you conveyed here. Bravo! (BTW, the Security Dude did not in fact pummel me in the parking lot. He was kind enough to point me to a mall that DID allow nekkid bunny pics for a fee. Got me some tail, baby!) :) |

I do love you though. |

| Oh no no no no no. I don't know about the guy in the yellow shirt or the guy in the red shirt or the guy in the other primary color shirt, but the guy in the purple shirt is not, in fact, gay, because he and I are in love and we are betrothed, and you know, I've always had a thing for guys of the Asian persuasion, and isn't that a neat phrase, say it with me, Asian persuasion, I knew that you could, ala Mr. Fred Rogers since we're on the subject. Purple shirt guy is named Jeff, and he is always falling asleep and a BIG feature of the show is a song called "Where's Jeff?" and if you want the answer to that question, you can look in MY bed with my 500 thread count sheets and my Asian-inspired throw pillows and my embarrassing weird little orthopedic knee pillow designed to alleviate hip joint pressure. Because THAT is quite possibly WHERE JEFF IS. Do you know what else? I LOVE the Blush Wine phase of my new diet. Please delete this in the morning, thank you Miss Poola, you know I love you. |

| from hissandtell : |
| Gay? The Wiggles? You take that back now, you hear! They're just average-joe Australian boys out for a good time, driving around together in their little red car waving at chicks.

| from purr67 : |
| Sorry I am late with this but imagine this on the Thanksgiving table. Blood Pudding INGREDIENTS: * 3 quarts pork blood * 1-1/2 pounds raisins * 1-1/4 pounds sugar * 1 pound mixed nuts & chestnuts * 3/4 pound rice--cooked * 2 oranges with all rind * 1 pound figs * 1 teaspoon red pepper * 1 teaspoon black pepper * 2 tablespoons salt * bay leaf DIRECTIONS: Mix all and bake in oven for one (1) hour |

| from dangerspouse : |
| When I first heard of the "Slow Food Society" in a magazine article a few years ago (they're a culinary group dedicated to fighting the scourge of Fast Food by promoting traditional local cuisines), a list of VERY odd regional dishes were given as examples. The one that really stood out for me was Tuna Sperm, a delicacy of a fishing area on the south eastern coast of Italy. Now, I'm not homophobic, but I don't want ANY species' sperm in my mouth. A chicken's ova, yes. Sperm, no. Gimme meatless balls any day. Even meatless tuna balls. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Oh man! It's hard to choose between, Pig's feet, hog jowls, or chitlins. |
| from hissandtell : |
| And, what's more, I think Jay Leno would enjoy making fun of your Meatless Dinner Balls in his Headlines section. That is all. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Oh, and Brussels Sprouts. They are easily the most disgustingly inedible food ever created - no question. All Brussels Sprouts farmers should be forced to undergo intensive cruciferous reprogramming, via the good old technology of having electrodes attached to their genitals if necessary, to stop them growing those horrible evil little cabbages they sneak onto our greengrocers' shelves amongst the real, decent, honest food. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Poola-pie, those Dinner Balls wouldn't be from Taiwan, would they? I'm imagining just how high they'd "jump with merry" when you put them in boiling water... |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| Ok, here is my bid for "Most inedible food" How about cow brain sandwiches? http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/01/16/brain.sandwich.ap/ |
| from mangofarmer : |
| I actually like Spam, but then again, I'm pretty weird. ;) I'd say the most inedible thing (I have never tried it, nor do I want to, so I dunno) is a North Carolina delicacy they call liver mush. It seems like you fry some of that up with a nice side of pork rinds and escargot, and you've got a healthy serving of disgusting. |

That security dude probably just saw one too many performances by Karne Findlay, and assumed ALL women, er, snatch canned goods. Kudos for being able to take a shot to the nose without crying! You're a better man than I.... |
| from wvlady : |
| Gosh, that was a flashback to my childhood! Red Owl was our local grocery store in Wisconsin. I don't believe I ever got kicked out, though..heh heh |
| from chaosdaily : |
| oh you were right poolie, i loved your story. but then again, i love all your stories!! that reminds me of the time a friend of mine (who looked like a hippie) went to a big boy to eat, and they made her show her money before they would take her order. she showed them her $20 bill, and then left.... and she would never go back. |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| That was by far one of the funniest things I read in a long time. Too bad it was at your expense. I can't believe he called you a "filthy hippie". What a butthole. |
| from nascarwidow : |
| One thing I hate more than cleaning is flying. Actually, I'm terrified of heights and just don't do planes. I'll be happy to send all my cleaning vibes to you though! |
| from life-my-way : |
| That is such a MAN! Look at those hands. Either s/he started out as a man or s/he has taken so many steroids and so much testosterone that s/he's an honorary dude. Either way, I'm sure s/he stands up to pee. Surely. |
| from wvlady : |
| GROSS!! Why in the world would a woman want to look like that..?! |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| My opinion of her? In a word, Gross. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Well, do you really want feedback on Charlene Atlas? Honestly. It's great that prolonged bouts of muscle-sculpting are so empowering for some women, it's wonderful that they become amazingly strong and fit, it's tremendous that bodybuilding at elite level is not limited to men, it's fabulous that they see themselves as attractive, positive role models...but I just don't get it. I wouldn't want to look like your state's Governor in a bikini and the long permed hair, deep chicken-roast tan and generous basting of oil does little to persuade me otherwise. It must be rather like extreme plastic surgery is for its more avid devotees - completely, overwhelmingly, sell-your-own-grandmother-to-a-vivisectionist-for-a-hit (or workout) addictive. Hmmm. And, the modesty aspect and respect for their audiences aside, I've never understood why they have to wear those bikini bras in competitions. It seems so pointless. |
| from enchancea : |
| Personally, thats a bit too much. I want some muscles because I cant stand the look of really long and thin arms. But nowhere near that much. But to each their own. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Oh, yeah, editing stuff in Taiwan would be a breeze - you could work on those greeting cards written by someone for whom English is not just a mystery but a complete irrelevance (I do love that line by Clive James). Maybe inserting a lot of superfluous full stops into those rambling phrases (well, they usually have at least one noun and one verb, and often the "feel" of a sentence, so I guess that's all one really needs in life) might distract us from their otherwise unfathomable meanings, too. |
| from olive4ever : |
| Make sure my "tray table is in the upright and locked position"? I think that sounds more like a description of this "implied sentences" person's HEAD. Sheesh! As a professional editor for all-too-many years, I've run into this one before. Periodically I do my best to cultivate a the realization that my insisting on what's correct in the face of mulish clients is quixotic at best... of course I don't really succeed. They need to be wearing the "stupid" sign around their necks, that'd help me a lot. It's a battle that Sisyphus would recognize, I'm afraid. |
| from randommuse : |
| How about a free copy of "Elements of Style" for your idiot client? |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Now Poolie...You know what it means when a girl misses her periods!!! Behave yourself. |
| from dangerspouse : |
| POOLIE! WATCH OUT! DANGER DANGER!! The PRC is gonna invade if you keep insisting on this life of independence! (And look what happened to poor Boxx9000 after she became Iraq!) Be safe kid - don't let your Navel forces lapse. Y'know, by getting a navel piercing or huge lint buildup or something. And...send me one of those subservient Taipei chicks, willya? Just put "Work-study" on her visa.... |
| from queentrixie : |
| I came here to blather on about large scary birds and then I read your entry about Alex and you almost made me cry. Thank you. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Thank you Ms. Poolie. |
| from dangerspouse : |
| Alas Poola, only Lennie has gone to the great Unemployment Line in the sky. JG remains lying in wait at RadioLand for future bagel deliveries still. Thanks for the note :) |
| from chaosdaily : |
| yes, definitely a face to love. but i liked him better in chocolat.... ummm i guess thats no surprise, huh? |
| from needisaymore : |
| It's taken two days but I just saw the melted hippo!! I always see what IS first. . .boring! Like when we were in Hawaii and had a family photo made--I was standing in front of a tree trimmed into a big round ball. Everyone else viewing the picture sees me with this HUGE Diana Ross 'fro. I just see me and a tree. I like your hippo idea better!! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Mmmm, Captain Jack Sparrow can whisper sweet nothings into my buccaneers any time he wants... |
| from chaosdaily : |
| poola... its a girl, leapfrogging over another girl. were you playing in the gutter again today?? hehehe |
| from lauralgood : |
| Ok so yeah I see it. Not a good thought. I like the girls playing leap frog better. It is an interesting piece. I would love to see it in person and know who the artist is. Have a great night. laural |
| from hissandtell : |
| I'm with you. It's definitely a big phallus and it's got some weird thing draped over its end like New Guinea tribesmen wear. I think it's a sculptural representation of an initiation ceremony - almost certainly involving circumcision - where the initiate leaps over his own genitals and is thus propelled into instant manhood. (Or total emasculation, depending on how he lands.) |
| from lauralgood : |
| I think the girls in the picture you have up are playing leap frog. You know where kids jump over each other...though one could think many things from looking at the piece... laural |
| from lauralgood : |
| thanks for the information. I love learning about different denominations and religions. I am attending an Universalist Unitarian church. It is the first "church" I have been in in about 5 years. I have had my fill of bad churches. But this one is good in the sense that they know that everyone has their own ideas and beliefs and that no one has the "ONE TRUE TRUTH." I will keep reading to know more about you. laural |
| from dangerspouse : |
| Yeah yeah. I got the stupid flowers. What's with chicks thinking flowers are an appropriate "thank you" for Men, btw? Whatever happened to good old fashioned manners, as expressed in a hand job? Oh well, at least they were free (this time). Look for a classy acknowledgement coming to an In Box near you, shortly.... |
| from lauralgood : |
| Thank you for leaving me a note. I have looked at your diary too and I like it. I am always impressed when people can really tell a story. I have always wanted to be able to do that but haven't learned how too yet! I probably never will but I will continue to be entertained by those who can. I will be back to see yours again. By the way, I was wondering what denomination church you attend? Hope your night is wonderful. Keep smiling. Laural |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Awww yes, that is because I too am a clever Goddess! ha. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| or should that have been peepee??? |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| "casino"..."no dice"...clever witty poolie! teehee |
| from dangerspouse : |
| WHAT?! I do all those nice things for you, and how am I repaid? By being called a "sweet and tender man"! How dare you slander me so! (BTW, still no flowers. What the hell am I gonna eat now? Let's get on the stick with that gesture of appreciation already, hmmm?) |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| I didn't know you fell in the fountain because you wouldn't take the time to go pee because you didn't want to miss the WATER show! What agony, sitting there on your heel, trying to hold out until the WATER show was over! Well now, I am amused all over again. |
| from queentrixie : |
| No thank you! For being quirky and real and amusing and then writing it down so I could read it. My favorites list would have hunted me down and spanked me if I hadn't added you! |
| from needisaymore : |
| Hey there--I don't plan on leaving diaryland again. At least not anytime soon! The hub did find the new diary (even though he said he would not look for it--sigh) by googling it. Since I've removed the search feature, I haven't seen him show up on my stats. So he may not remember the name of this diary! I don't know. . .. It makes me awfully sad, though, that this has caused such a huge rift between us. . . and that I can't be free to be myself in MY diary! Oh well--thanks for your notes! |
| from absinthesigh : |
| *Almost* everyone... does this mean you did not like them? I thought of you when I tried them because we had talked about chocolate combined with odd things 8-). I am still searching for the chocolate covered potato chips. with love, ophelia |
| from absinthesigh : |
| Have you tried the new White Chocolate Reese's Peanut Butter Cups yet????? OMG ... H E A V E N!!!! with love, ophelia |
| from dangerspouse : |
| A "virtual" bouquet of roses? THAT'S all I'm worth after a night like that?! Hmmph. See if *I* ever show up to play dirty Pictionary again. But no, I never recieved it, and I checked my mailbox before posting this note. I'd like to say "it's the thought that counts", but we all know what bullshit that is. Come across with the goods, baby. My love ain't cheap. |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| Let's not forget the giant Herman in New Ulm, the Jolly Green Giant in New Prague, and of course, my personal favorite, the giant talking Paul Bunyan in Brainerd. All in Minnesota. Makes you want to come visit, not doesn't it? |
| from dangerspouse : |
| When you push the Magic Button on THIS giant chef the kids hear "Little girls and boys get a giant lollypop just for asking!" Of course, it's not REALLY all that giant, but when you're 9 years old what the hell do you know? Works more often than you'd think. BTW, your Bellagio Pee Story was a RIOT! Almost better than the Nun-Fucking-Washcloth entry!! But I have to say: you broads are out of your friggin' minds with that whole "I can only go on my own throne" schtick. NewWifey(tm) didn't pee during our ENTIRE two week honeymoon because we were far from her soft rubberized seat at home. We returned with her looking like she was about to birth to a 47 pounder. When she finally got to squat, she had to call out from work for three days because it took that long for that much pee to drain out a 2mm urethra. JUST GO ALREADY! (Thanks for the link again!) :) |
| from hissandtell : |
| I have to say I was very saddened by the aspersions you cast on the close relationship of Paul and Babe, too. There's nothin' strange about the friendship between a man and his cow (blue or otherwise), missy. |
| from hissandtell : |
| I'm so pleased to learn of your passion for Big Erections! Whoever said size doesn't matter was speaking drivel. When you have a few leisurely moments, check out this wonderful website of Australia's Big Things: http://www.bigthings.com.au/ - we're mighty proud of our massive monuments in Queensland, let me tell you. |
| from sunnflower : |
| Love the giants entry. Well done. I want to see the giants too. |
| from boxx9000 : |
| a *dream* vacation I have always wanted to do is travel cross country to see all those weird type of things that you mentioned. When we lived in Monterey county there was a town called Castroville that had this GIANT ARTICHOKE. I love that stuff! |
| from her-story : |
| Hi, I snuck in the backdoor behind Dangerspouse... I think we had the same nun as a teacher. I also had to attend "growth and maturity" class w/ father what's his face... where he told a group of 8th grade girls what sex was. He even drew an erection... which, I'm thinking is not from personal experience. However, in light of the goings on lately, who knows. Funny entry... I enjoyed it |
| from randommuse : |
| You forgot...However minutes late you are is the number of idiots you will encounter on the way. |
| from dangerspouse : |
| I'm adding "dictionary" to my Wish List.... |
| from dangerspouse : |
| Your friend is a textbook example of why employers should only hire BARREN women if they decide to risk hiring women at all. Great, and lamentably all too typical, description of beaurocratic boondogles at state agencies! (And thanks for the hilarious note at my place! Glad I could point readers to that fabulous story of yours.) :) |
| from hissandtell : |
| Your story about bureacratic madness is superb, but sadly unsurprising. How amusing it must have been to watch your DL being tossed away and never be allowed to have it back; how you must have laughed. Years ago I was stuck in another state with a friend who'd had all her cash stolen. She organised a transfer from her home branch, but the bank stuffed it up and claimed there was nothing in her account. Since she had about 20 cents in her pocket and absolutely nothing to lose, she started sobbing, jumping on the counter, accusing them of stealing her money, throwing herself on the floor and threatening to kill herself in front of all the customers (she's an excellent actress). They gave her 50 bucks to just shut up and get out, after which she walked away with great dignity and a little bow. |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Aw...thanks for your sweet note. 22 makes me very, very happy, but the magic number is 45. *eeks* |

| Hi Martha...I'm a "Mystery Shopper" from the Mammogram society. Surprise! Today's turn the tables on the tech day!!!! Hey, there you go! |

| Darn! I was hoping to make you snort! |
| from randommuse : |
| "Davey, DAAAAAVY Crockett...king of the wild frontier." And, oh yeah to fizzies!! Okay, let me ask a stupid question; what show? |
| from dangerspouse : |
| "...I asked Santa Claus for a Winky Dinky kit (dangerspouse, you leave this one ALONE)." Yeah, right I'll leave that alone. Listen, as someone who actually HAS a Winky Dinky, I can tell you it's not something to wish for. Both NewWifey(tm) and I are VERY disappointed. (Did you really go topless at age three? Do you have pictures?!) Hubba hubba, :) |
| from chaosdaily : |
| yea i used to eat those same butter and sugar sandwiches. but my favorite was sour cream slathered on a piece of homemade bread, and jelly on top of the sour cream.... YUM!!! and my second favorite was mashed potatoes on bread.. i ate them a lot. ive tried them as an adult, and for some reason they just arent as good........... |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| How old are you??? I tought you were one of these young whippersnappers! lol |
| from sasori-gal : |
| "Winky Dink and you, Winky Dink and me..." Wasn't that part of the theme song? I had "the kit" too! And omigosh...Fizzies! We filled a plastic wading pool full of Fizzies. Just think of all the kids nowadays that missed out on all our cool playthings and treats! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Just read your entry....I was right..NUTZY-KOO-KOO! Join the club! Bet they've got a diaryring for that one too. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| You're just easily amused! Either that, or you're just as nutzy-koo-koo as I am. ha |
| from olive4ever : |
| Your memories remind me so much of my mother's childhood stories; she grew up in a blink-and-miss-it town in Nebraska and drove her parents' bakery deliveries from the time she was 11. I'll get her to relate the stories, I'll share. Speaking of Olive senior (and she's the reason for the first half of my d-land "handle"), she has called it Hawgs Jaws ice cream for years... |
| from chaosdaily : |
| awwwww poola you almost made me cry..... |
| from randommuse : |
| Wonderful memories! We used to "cruise" Main (which was really Oklahoma street) in small-town Okie-land. And, I was a soda jerk in a drug store for my first real job...the soda fountain was so old that we hand-mixed our Cokes, Dr. Pepper's, etc. Oh, and LOVE Blue Bunny Ice Cream. |
| from dangerspouse : |
| "...you have tasted a trace of who I used to be." Yeah? Then I wish you'd wash a little better. |
| from dangerspouse : |
| BWAHAHAHAAAA...cough cough gasp.... That 'lingering with the washcloth" story was TOO FUCKING FUNNY! (And I *do* mean "fucking".) Would you mind if I linked that entry in a future story of mine? Thanks for giving me the URL!! |
| from wyndspirit : |
| Congrats on 200! |
| from olive4ever : |
| I've got some catching up to do, but have to amend my earlier comment about your singing coworker --- EEEEUUWW. No wonder it's driving you round the bend. There ought to be some symbolic way you can let her know it's unacceptable, let's see... Anonymous "presents" that indicate she ought not to be singing at work? Like a bucket with a lid on it, bearing the legend, "Keep songs in here" or a shower cap, labeled "singing cap -- keep it under wraps"?? Gawd, toddler songs, no wonder I'm childless. |
| from dangerspouse : |
| 200? Really? Well, that IS cause for celebration! Therefore, no snarky comments about accordians, that jerkoff Garrison Keister, or various body organs (this time). Congrats, and many more! Glad I found you :) |
| from hissandtell : |
| Oh, and by the way, your knowledge of one of our most famous shearing songs is truly impressive, Miss Poolapie. Except, I understand it's "bare-bellied yoe" - i.e. ewe, but pronounced so it rhymes with "go" and "blow". I just thought you needed to know that for the next time you're singing it to yourself while you're drinking Bundaberg rum and wearing your Akubra hat and dancing a quick Strip the Willow all around your living room in your uggh boots... |
| from hissandtell : |
| Darrrlink, since we're in such a globally-warm cosmopolitan frame of mind, it occurred to me that if you're looking for a New Zealand diary to keep up with you could do no better than harvestbird. The woman is amazing - brilliant, dry, self-deprecating and completely fascinating. And she's a vegetarian - well, most of the time - and talks about cute New Zillen things like "chilly bins" that one puts one's salmons in. |
| from poolagirl : |
| Oh! Oh! I can feel that beat all the way over here! Gonna put on my Butthead attire and join you! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| 200...Yeah!!! Just for you, in celebration I shall do my now famous "Pig Dance of Joy" to the tune of "Wooly Bully". Congrats! |
| from randommuse : |
| Congrats on #200! And, I too find it amazing how we all connect through a few words on a computer screen. It's amazing to think about, isn't it? |
| from absinthesigh : |
| Rumpa pa ooph (klump) rumpa pa ooph (klump). This is me dancing the dance of 200 entries of my friend poolagirl whom I am loving reading about and being friends with. Congratulations and much hugging and dancing all around. with love, ophelia (Well done xoxox) |
| from chaosdaily : |
| poola, we are all glad youve decided to stick it out for the long haul. **hugs** and congrats on #200!!! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Tonight, I dance in your honor, Miss Poola, and I shall don my babushka and "dlink rrrrrussian wodka" at precisely 10 o'clock Eastern, after I tuck the last "leetle leepsheen" in. That's the best I can do in the Russian accent department. And I'm out of vodka. I guess it's Blush wine and the roof for me, but I'll be thinking of you, and thanking my lucky stars for your friendship! You're the best! |
| from hissandtell : |
| What a jolly happy lively sprightly entry! I'm going to stop beavering away on my bastardly Business Activity Statement right this minute, put on a babushka scarf and go outside to do a brisk barynya-with-a-balalaika twice around the shearing shed! |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| I am grateful for you, too, poolagirl!!!! Happy 200th!!!! |
| from dangerspouse : |
| Have I Dutch Ovened my wife? Well no, not yet. But thanks for the suggestion! I'll be sure to credit you. (BTW, just saw the new pic in your profile. Nice squeeze box, babe! Have you read my accordian story, by any chance?) Pull my finger.... |
| from hissandtell : |
| Except that he'd be more likely to be tightening your braces than fixing cavities. Damn again. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Damn that randommuse! I was gonna say it was an inept, dodgy dentist, too. Damn! Okay - maybe his "hook" is that you have to get into a cardboard box in the chair while he's fixing your cavities? |
| from randommuse : |
| A really bad yellow pages ad for a dentist? ::shrug:: |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Chain yourself to a desk..put some "polish" on it..Sounds like handcuffs and vaseline time again to me! ha. And I have to say....Nobody would ever figure out THOSE clues! Yeah, right...Butthead! ha |
| from olive4ever : |
| Fairy Goodwitch here... I had a co-worker who talked to herself as she worked. Asked herself questions or gave herself directions in such a conversational tone that even though we all KNEW she was doing it rhetorically, every one of us would answer periodically. She'd look at us like we were interplanetary. Finally, I gave her a lucite box with a wide Band-Aid in it, labeled "Apply in case of extreme self-talk" (or something). She put it in a drawer. She left to work elsewhere for a year, and then came back. She'd kept her stuff in a box, and while unpacking found the Band-Aid. Handed it back to me, saying "I don't do this anymore." She was now my cubicle-mate and, a week later, I handed it back, saying, "Yes, you do." |
| from chaosdaily : |
| well i would have sent you my present but you havent sent me your address so i had to eat it! yummy!!!! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| eat m & ms and die??? ***sigh**** what a way to go!!!!!!!! |
| from mangofarmer : |
| I absolutely agree with the pineapple, the egg salad, the photocopiers, and the strange delightfulness of the uber goober. Heh. |
| from randommuse : |
| Uber-goobers ::snicker:: And, I didn't know about the wine coolers...I actually found that interesting which should tell you how my day is going so far. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Uber-amusing. I think vaseline would take away that pineapple-in-mouth itch thingy, by the way. And possibly even make that annoying talk-to-herselfer slide right off her stupid chair. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Pineapple evil??? But...doesn't your buddy "Sponge Bob" live in one? Let me guess...He's evil too, and that's why you like him! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| You ain't right. May I admire you? |
| from purr67 : |
| I very much enjoyed your entry today. I think I will read more ! Thanks for the laugh |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| YOu will never guess what sticky little glob of crap I was shoving into my pie-hole when I clicked on your page today! Left-over half-priced pink marshmallow Valentines Peeps hearts! Technically, not a "Peep", but who cares, the strawberry flavor gives me happy feet! |
| from dangerspouse : |
| If I may return the compliment, I find your command of the keyboard to be exemplary also. I always look forward to your updates. Now, on a serious note: we men assign monikers to "Mr. Happy" because, well, we assign names to ANYTHING with a brain and autonomous personality. Especially if the brain is bigger than the one between our ears. |
| from randommuse : |
| Peeps are one of the most wonderful food products out there (right after Egg McMuffins). I've already bought my chocolate covered marshmallow eggs...mmmmmmm |
| from dangerspouse : |
| You and I have some sort of cosmic sympatico. "Chubby Bunny" was Little Elvis' name before I met NewWifey(tm). Alas, it never induced drooling though. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| I gave my Nephews their first ever Marshmellow Peeps last years. The first thing they did was grab a pencil, spear them, and ask "Auntie Lovey, can we toast these?" Ohhhh the humanity! |
| from wyndspirit : |
| You got ME! I was SURE you were going to Vaseline somebody's keyboard! (That's the sort of thing that happened where *I* used to work!) |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| 3 a.m.? Well, I had been up for "Bubba's Midnight Show" and was waiting for his "Grand Finale"! |
| from randommuse : |
| Stalking the Amish would be a great name for a rock band. |
| from hissandtell : |
| You also could have used that shoe-shining stuff to lure trout into your cubicle. Apparently you just coat small pieces of sponge with petroleum jelly to simulate fish egg bait. So keep it in mind, okay? |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| See...SEE! I told you! Per-vert!! With a capital P! Like I really believe the polishing the shoes story. I ain't buyin' it for a minute. Geez! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| "any time YOU'RE bored." not "your". me=idiot |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| For some reason I got this image of you smearing Vaseline all over your nose and then seeing how many cotton balls you could stick to it! But then I figured I must've transposed some weird "baby shower game" onto your little tale. I'm planning a baby shower for the sister-unit, so I've been looking up all kinds of silly party games, and I swear there was a game involving Vaseline and noses and cotton balls! Feel free to use it in your little cubicle, any time your bored and your shoes are already shiny. |
| from cosmicrayola : |
| be very careful. When I was in basic training years ago, one of the girls in my outfit used vaseline instead of polishing her boots. She didn't wope thim off enough and when we went outside in the wind, every leaf within 100 feet attached itself to her shoes! Funny as hell. (I guess you had to be there.) |
| from randommuse : |
| Considering I work with idiots that heat up dog beds in microwaves, they'd probably eat the Vaseline. |
| from olive4ever : |
| Mmm-hmmm... but I disgress. Vaseline has been the polish-of-choice for patent leather shoes since I was in junior high. (And no I didn't go to Catholic school; no I don't know if they really reflect up, despite the show's title.) |
| from dangerspouse : |
| You BITCH! How dare you build my hopes up like that and then just dash them to the asphalt! Oh well, at least the Vaseline will make the shoe easier to insert, should we ever meet. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| geeeeee i thought you would use the vaseline on your lips..... to keep em from getting chapped, you know...... |
| from randommuse : |
| But see, you could pretend to be a teenage Amish person. Did you see that documentary where basically, as teenagers, they're pretty much allowed to live on their own, drink it up, sex it up, and then decide if they want to come back to the fold or live in the world. I mean, those Amish people can put it away!! And thanks for the birthday wishes...I'll save them until May :) |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| I want a pedometer, too. Maybe it will show me exactly why I have these extra pounds on me. *sigh* But then I might be forced to exercise more. Nevermind. I don't want one now. |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Have you SEEN Harrison Ford lately, with his stupid earrings? I'm sorry, I try not to be too judgemental (snort!), but he looks so very stupid and desperate, why doesn't he just buy a zippy red Corvette (penile extension) and be done with it already?! THAT is the ONLY reason I don't want to be AMish. Harrison Ford in the barn? No thanks. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Amish??? How many Amish Pirates do you know? Let's see...Yo ho ho and a bottle of apple cider?...No, it's just not the same. Argh Matie! |
| from hissandtell : |
| What about if you got to snog with Harrison Ford in your barn? Would you happily be Amish then? |
| from boxx9000 : |
| Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the birthday wishes. You're TWO days before V-Day and I'm TWO days after. February birthdays RULE. |
| from snarkypants : |
| Hee hee! All my Utah rellies say "Oh my heck!" Makes me want to throttle them with a garden hose. |

| from treesssa : |

| from treesssa : |
| Hi I read that you sprinkle dehydrated coyote piss all over your yard. Is this a way to keep squirrles, and other pesties away from the property?Can you tell me where you got the idea and where i would find this stuff?Someone i know is having a major squirrel problem and she doesn't want to hurt the little pesties.then i thought of your dehydrated coyote piss.LOL Please let me know, she is threatening to shoot them!!We don't want that. thanks! |
| from wvlady : |
| Yeah, it gets cold here, but nowhere near as bad as where we came from... |

| Sponge Bob cereal for your birthday - well of course - and happy birthday! I love Sponge Bob too and even got Sponge Bob bedroom slippers from my son for Christmas. Love the quiz too. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| See..you fit in with my other friends perfect! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Now, explain the layered look to me in more detail, please. You see, I'm thinking "Annie Hall" which, on my women of my age, of course, was a huge influence and still (secretly) the way I most love to dress. I read an interview with Diane Keaton yesterday and she said she still dresses that way, so I felt slightly vindicated! I was also looking at Nicole Kidman in "Cold Mountain" recently and thought, "Oh, it's Ralph Lauren's Prairie Look" (another MAJOR fashion influence in my life, although my father used to wail and moan whenever I left the house throughout my early teens in my big stompy lace-up granny boots and saucy lace camisoles with my petticoats poking impetuously out of the bottom of my multitude of checked skirts held up with thick meaty cowboy belts). Sad, isn't it. |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Omigosh~ I just ordered a box of Spongebob cereal from this company that brings foreign favorites into Japan! It was back-ordered, but I just got the note saying it's been shipped! Thanks to you, I can't wait to try it! *yummo* |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| I understand the frustration of not having fun sheets for larger beds. I did find some cartoon penguins, though. Too cute!!!! And I am just gonna have to try out the Sponge Bob cereal. I needs my sugar fix!!!!! Glad your birthday presents were so much fun!!! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Hey! You're own niece stated that's why you get so many haircuts! Don't play wide eyed innocent with me. The truth is out....the truth shall set you free...and let me add...."Takes one to know one!" ha. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| You're such a little pervert. Lucky for you I find that an asset in my friends! |
| from sunnflower : |
| Thanks for the note and happy valentine's day. My shower entry reminds me of your wonderful story about the Christmas gift exchange party. The candle thing is wierd. Also, if you have a super gold account, you can add individual notes for each entry. |
| from randommuse : |
| See, living candlestick holder plus dominatrix dolls equals kick-ass dinner party. To hell with Martha Stewart...you and I can teach people about *really* good things. |
| from randommuse : |
| I've never thought of my ears as candlestick holders before. That would make on hell of a table setting at a dinner party. |
| from hissandtell : |
| It's completely the ears' own fault that they get so grubby, though. I mean, what a silly design they are. All that excess flesh and foldy bumpy bits like an artichoke. Here's my suggestion - make them a third of the size with little skin-flaps to keep others from seeing the horrendous waxy bits, so we onlookers don't get that overwhelming urge to go poking around the gunk in there with Q-tips. Mind you, I always have to stop myself from squeezing other people's zits, too. And re-arranging their furniture when I'm in their homes. |
| from dangerspouse : |
| It was funny! IT WAS FUNNY!! Now send the damn pancreas already! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Yeah, but at least him aims high...ahhh...low....wellll. (height diff.)...Okay, you can't blame him for trying to attain a true "GODDESS" such as I! ha. |
| from dangerspouse : |
| hehehe...a science journal I subscribed to did a study on ear candling about two years ago. They found the claims that vacuum pressure created by the heated air rising lifted impurities was total bullshit. It did allow the recipient to see better in the dark, though. |
| from dangerspouse : |
| You make a good point about the sugar soaked pancreas. Odd as that may seem though, it's STILL preferable to what a kidney bathes in. Call me particular, but I'll stick to my original choice. Pay Pal?? What, did I hit the PowerBall Lottery? You'll get food stamps like all my other creditors. |
| from wifemotherme : |

Anyways, I wanted to be the first to say Happy Valentine's Day |
| from boxx9000 : |
| I've always LIKED having my birthday near Valentine's, it's my favorite holiday. One of my favorite childhood memories is that my Mom always made me a heart shaped cake for my birthday. I used to do the same thing for MY daughter until she told me, "Mom, I really don't like Valentines and hearts" (ooooops!) |
| from wvlady : |
| A belated Happy Bday to you! Enjoy your goodies...you can repent next week...heheheh |
| from chaosdaily : |
| happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!! you deserved more chocolate.... |
| from nascarwidow : |
| Happy belated birthday you sly thing you! You should have asked HIM to join you and helped him with the dessert! |
| from dangerspouse : |
| CHOCOLATE!! Screw the carrots!!(Um...never mind). MORE CHOCOLATE! MORE LEMON THINGIES AND CAKE!!! (Did you steal Glower Girl's dessert btw? Shame, if you didn't). Well Happy Birthday! Congrats on that and the new license - many more of both! (Can I have a pancrease?) |
| from needisaymore : |
| Happy Birthday to you!!(late) What a fun day you had! That's a REAL birthday to me--attention, sweets, flowers, excellent dinner out with loved ones--and a table-side drama for your entertainment! Here's to many more happy years ahead. You are one terrific lady. |
| from olive4ever : |
| Sounds like it was a blissful birthday -- sugar-induced bliss notwithstanding, take what you can get when it comes to bliss! My favorite outings are those that include both food and people-watching. I usually am far more interested in the latter than the former. It's the reason I shop at the Hillcrest Trader Joe's, too bad I can't set up a table, a la Toulouse Lautrec, and PAINT the patrons. Terrific. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| You're like me. I think of it as dinner, AND a free show! ha. Glad you had a good day. |
| from mangofarmer : |
| Ack! You should have told us about your birthday yesterday! Anyway, I hope it was a good one. :) |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| Happy Belated Birthday!!!!! |
| from randommuse : |
| Happy Late Birthday!! And I want to come over for some cake and lemon bars! I can never keep my therapy mouth shut and would have told him all kinds of things complete with a finger snap. |
| from boxx9000 : |
| Did I miss your birthday? I KNOW it's February (like mine) You should join Cosmicrayola's birthday list. |
| from nascarwidow : |
| Sorry to hear about Juan. I'm scared to death that's exactly what's going to happen to Jay. I feel so honored to be mentioned in your diary! Thanks for all the great new reads. BTW, I'm from a small rural town in Iowa... |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUTTHEAD!!!! |
| from dangerspouse : |
| Woo Hoo! Logrolling rules! Thanks for adding me to your Fave List :) BTW - how can someone who calls it a "Tally Whacker" find "Little Elvis" odd? Thanks again, kiddo! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| thank you Miss Poola. |
| from randommuse : |
| What an honor to have known such a wonderful young man even if it was too short. |
| from sunnflower : |
| Sorry about Juan. It's always so sad when something like that happens. |
| from randommuse : |
| I love lists especially when my narcissistic heart is on it. Thanks :) |
| from needisaymore : |
| WOW! And thanks! I feel like such a star! (And I WILL get the Dutch Babies recipe out soon!) |
| from chaosdaily : |
| awww hugs, poola. its even sadder when the young stars die.. but somewhere there must be plans for him.... |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Can't make this sound quite right across this medium, but I am very sorry for your loss. And the loss to your community of such a fine young man. |
| from sasori-gal : |
| I'm sorry to hear about Juan. You wrote a poignant tribute to him. I will look up at the stars tonight and send him, his family and his special friends like you my thoughts and prayers. |
| from iambucket : |
| Let me just say....long hair and dirty minds....the saying is TRUE, and butthead is evidence of that. Don't let her fool you!! (I'm not making any niece points here, am I) Also, the eluding to the story of Mom sitting in the wrong car....totally true! Go for it butthead, get that story written! You will pee your pants. That along with stories of Mom's idea of hiking in Maui- omg! One note for butthead....these magnets you both purchased.....any with women that you just possibly might have, oh on a whim...bought for your darling, sweet, adorable, ever-so-wonderful 'not the type' niece of yours???????? *ahem, hint hint* |
| from needisaymore : |
| Awwww-sister time is the BEST. |
| from sasori-gal : |
| In Japan, they say that if your hair grows fast, you have a dirty mind. *ahem* |
| from randommuse : |
| sock-girlie sent me one of those grow a boyfriends and now he's the love of my life. Maybe I need to find some of those purple handcuffs for us. |
| from hissandtell : |
| I always wondered what traumatic things had happened to him in the salon to make Frankie sing "Beauty School Drop-Out". Now my mind is boggling - we're not talking "Something About Mary" here are we? Oh dear, I feel quite queasy. And sticky. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| my kind of snack!! |
| from dangerspouse : |
| There's a land where Tofu Dogs are unknown?! Start the General Lee honey, we're Alabammy bound! LOL...just found your diary - GREAT fun. Looking forward to diving into your archives :) |
| from wvlady : |
| You are SO funny! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| geee ive done several of those things more than once. i only have one question though, what happened when you put a match in a can of car wax?? |
| from mangofarmer : |
| That was the greatest list ever! :) |
| from randommuse : |
| The just once list had me laughing and sighing contentedly at the same time. Great entry! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Miss Poola, you have some writing to do! (she says in a poor imitation of Desi Arnez) You've only written about a couple of those things. I'm a little jealous, you're sitting on a page of about 50 great writing prompts. I may have to borrow one, but I'm not sure what I can do with Ginger Ale. |
| from hissandtell : |
| So many wonderful things! Your list - especially the red convertible through Alabama in the night - made me start singing "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" quite loudly (At the age of 37 she realised she'd never ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair...) You're my new hero, Poola-pie! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Piercing Guy kinda reminds me of a Pearly King. I wouldn't want to wake up next to one of those, either. |
| from hissandtell : |
| How on earth did Frankie Avalon cross that velvet rope? (Oh, maybe he bounced off A-net.) Next you'll be boasting that Eric Von Zipper and his biker gang have muscled their way in too. Cowabunga, dude! |
| from olive4ever : |
| It's probably a darned good thing you don't have a barre in front of the mirror, you'd get wannabe ballerinas showing you WAAY too much (or way too little)... Hmmm. Do you have a suggestion box? That barre could prove interesting. Anent Starbucks, you know I NEVER darken their doors, adding much to the disapproval of my born-again sister, who also works there. Yikes, Jesus AND Starbucks in one package. No wonder I don't go in there!! |
| from randommuse : |
| You get to snark at people behind a mirror and they don't know?!?!?! MAN, can I come work there?!?!?! |
| from poolagirl : |
| Thanks so much! |
| from sunnflower : |
| There are Days is a beautiful entry. Good tips on what not to do in rooms with mirrors. |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| p.s. The tiara's in the mail. |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Dear Miss Poola, I have been back through my "notes" page today, and do you know what I find? You have mentioned that tiara no less than 3 times, and you know what else? You are the only one who noticed it! And you know what else, I think you have Tiara Envy. I suspect that you have never been neither crowned nor annointed, and by golly, that's just a crime! (did you like those quadruple negatives? shush.) And so now, by the powers vested in me, as the reigning Princess of All Feeshing Queens of Minnesota, I do so solemnly and reverently crown you, Princess Poola, Sprinkler of *Hyena Piss, Vanquisher of Alpha Geese, and Protector of Pond Fish. (*couldn't remember how to spell cuyote, coyote, sh$t!, cyuooote, aw crap, hyena's close enuff!) |
| from treesssa : |
| I like the new template. And as always, your journal is very entertaining.Take care! |
| from needisaymore : |
| I, too, loved the "there are days" entry. Nicely done! But thinking of you (or ANYONE)sitting and singing "I'm in the bathroom" at the top of their lungs with construction workers around just had me howling! |
| from randommuse : |
| Loved "there are days" entry. There are days when you look outside your work window, see the snow falling, and remember being five again. |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Geez, where did you crank THAT entry out of?!? Very poetic, without trying to be. Perfect. I have one: There are days when your 5 yr old son discovers your old box of cassette tapes, and sprawls on the floor coloring with his crayons while the Temptations sing "I've got sunshine on a cloudy day..." |
| from snarkypants : |
| Che bella! Molto bene! What a lovely entry. (In reference to "there are days when...") |
| from randommuse : |
| LOVE the new layout. I felt like the computer queen of the world when I figured that out too. So, can I be a receptionist where you work...I'm great at sitting on my ass reading magazines :) |
| from hissandtell : |
| Um, I went to watch a big tennis tournament (chasing Vitas Gerulaitis, I think) during my first year "Modern Political Theories" lectures at uni and missed Communism... |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| What bugs me more at Starbucks? They're always Sooo Damn happy!!! Of course. They can afford to be with the prices they charge! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| ummmm your guestbook didnt work for me... and if you get too much beer, i would be willing to help you with that. but make sure you have a working bathroom first |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| I read your rogue chest hair story and immediately ran into the bathroom, threw off my shirt, and made durn sure I wasn't sportin' any! I have my own tale of an ingrown pubie that I'd love to share, but I'm afraid it would make people throw up. Maybe someday when I find myself about 3/4 of the way into a bottle of Captain Morgan's. |
| from absinthesigh : |
| Okay wait... I meant yo ho as in yo ho yo ho it's a pirate's life for me not as in hey... well.. you know. I think of you only in the highest (hiccup) regards. ophhhhelia |
| from absinthesigh : |
| ooh la la girl I almost did not recognize you! I have some rum over here.. it's called Ron Anejo Aniversario Reserva Exclusive and egads it's gooooood $$$$$tuff. C'mon over! As long as you promise not to light anything but your pirate spirit with it. yo ho, ophelia |
| from p-o-y : |
| welcome to pieces of you! |
| from politics101 : |
| WOW AND WOW. LOVE the new templet!! and you did it yourself??? TOTALLY IMPRESSED. wow again |
| from politics101 : |
| WOW AND WOW. LOVE the new templet!! and you did it yourself??? TOTALLY IMPRESSED. wow again |
| from needisaymore : |
| Beautiful! Love the new look! Have fun with it. Sending applause your way! |
| from wifemotherme : |
| Love the new templet!!! The easiest way to fix your rings bleeding over on to the page is to just make up a separate ring page and add a link to the bottom with all the other links. Ring graphics take some time to load when your using dial up- so its a win win situation for everyone. Looks like you just learned more HTLM in a few days than most folks learn in a few years! (myself included) |
| from sunnflower : |
| Hi - As someone who has struggled with templates and who is constantly trying to learn this HTML stuff, I thought I would point you to a couple things that helped me. First, the Help section and FAQs link and the Miscellaneous Stuff link on Diaryland have a lot of good info. It will show you how to link to someone in diaryland or a regular web page (see the diaryland basics section under the Help and FAQS link). I also learned that one thing you can do with your rings is create an entry - call it RINGS - and then add your ring links there. You can create a text link like the link you have for notes, profile, guestbook etc. that will point to that page in your archive. Voila - nice organized links on a separate page. You can do that for anything you want to point to regularly. I have one for my bookshelve, one for photo links etc. etc. You can see how I did it on my rings page if after going to my rings entry (linked on main page), you go to VIEW on the toolbar, and then VIEW SOURCE. You see the code for the page in another window - and you can get a feel for how it is set up behind the scenes. You may already know this stuff but just thought I would share in case you didn't. |
| from wvlady : |
| Very nice!:) |
| from chaosdaily : |
| wow !!!!!!!! awesome template!!!!! |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Ooh! Bee-yoo-tiful! Love the new layout! Yay for Gold memberships! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Yippee you! Fabulous new layout. And how about a different Johnny Depp picture with every entry? |
| from sunnflower : |
| Wow - a new template to showcase the delightful writings of you. I am so excited and you are doing a great job putting it together. Theda looked pretty hot so if you got some of that going you're set. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Shudder. A long rogue hair. I found one on my upper arm once, about three inches long. It never came back after I ripped it out and threw it into the sink, in horror. Now I'm wondering what purpose it was supposed to serve, other than to disgust me and freak me out. It was probably sent to save the world or ease poverty or teach me humility or something noble like that. Incidentally, did you know that Theda Bara is an anagram of Arab Death? And cute bikini or not, SHE wouldn't make a very good pirate at all. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Your handy hints for ensuring cooking successes and/or obviating culinary failures are delightful. I really would like to see a "Dog Slime-Off" product on the market, as I find the whole canine-drooly business absolutely hideous. What do they - dogs, I mean - put in it? And what did people do with all that stuff of John Wayne's after it was de-compacted, I wonder? Maybe it had some abrasive qualities that could have been used in a doggy-drool-gone application. The Duke did spend a lot of time filming in deserts, so it was probably very sandy. Oh, here's a random thought - maybe that's why that movie was called "True Grit"... |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| I see smarty! Looks like Ms. Butthead is needing to change her name to Ms. Smart Ass" I see. ha |
| from chaosdaily : |
| oh congrats!! i know, im2 is the best! and if you need help with the html, bravenet.com has an html tutorial that is a big help..... |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Silly Poolie! You little brat! That was suppose to be a hush, hush, secret, girlie-girl moment between just us! Oh yeah.....I keep forgetting......You think you're a PIRATE!!!! Geez!!! |
| from wifemotherme : |
| I have never been so happy that anyone received a gold! (even my own gift of gold!) Your wit and writing far exceed being stuck with a dairyland templet! Happy layout hunting!!! |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| That's great (your gold membership)!! I am jealous. Someone buy ME one. LOL!!!! Enjoy it. Looking forward to all the wonderful pictures you will post now!!! |
| from randommuse : |
| I am rolling on the floor in my neck of the woods. Dear god, we HAVE to do the cookbook :) I can add the following helpful hint...when the package of Dream Whip says to add one cup of cold MILK, cold WATER is not an acceptable substitute. |
| from snarkypants : |
| HAH! That is the greatest. I, too, happen to be somewhat domestically challenged. Thanks for the tips! |
| from wyndspirit : |
| Hey, Mom always toasted marshmallows over the gas stove flame! (Although, come to think of it, she never did let US do it...) |
| from randommuse : |
| Sounds great and you'll have to let us know when the chap book is ready. And I want to be an Unknown Poet :) Okie-land, unfortunately, isn't exactly known for its coffee-house, literary scene. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| thank you so much for the great laugh today with your cooking tips. i hope your cupcakes turned out!! gee the cats all freaked when i started laughing and now they are somewhere else in the house. lolol |
| from randommuse : |
| Oh, forgot to put this question with my note, but what happened with the chapbook you wrote? (yes, I did read quite of few of your past entries and enjoyed them!) |
| from randommuse : |
| Oh dear god. I was rolling about the cooking tips. It sounds like you and I could write the ultimate cookbook. Thanks for adding me as a favorite and I'm definitely returning the favor. |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Ah, Miss Poola, you have given me quite the chuckle this fine morning with your adventures in cooking! RE the sunflowers in the laundry room: they're silk flowers left over from the disastrous sunflower decorating debacle of 1997. Everything in my house had a sunflower on it. I had sunflower underpanties. It was so gold-darned cheerful. After a while it just made me want to puke. |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| I laughed so hard this morning, and so loudly!!! I think the rest of the building is wondering what I am doing in here all alone!!! Thanks for the cheer!!!! |
| from absinthesigh : |
| Okay, gross confession. I go on occasional fasts and once I heard that it was good to do enemas to clean out the gunk because after a certain amount of time parts of your system shut down to clean <insert long fasting boring facts here> Well I did it and OMG!!! It was unbelievable... I have never looked at my body the same way since. Shudder shudder shudder. People do walk around with a whole lotta gunk inside. with... um.. love, ophelia <eek!> |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| I've been praying for a sign as to what kind of job I should get. You've answered my prayer. IMPACTED FECES WEIGHER! Now, Where do I apply? (Don't go there!) |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| What a cute card! Thank you for both it, and for remembering me. Hope you're feeling better. |
| from snarkypants : |
| Yay for you...How cool that you can share your passion with those kids. Keep on a'rockin'! And get to feelin' better, too! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Ms. Poolie. I wanted to learn guitar too. But was told it would be too expensive because I'm left handed. I plan on revisiting that dream one day soon. |
| from iambucket : |
| GIVE ME YOUR CALENDER GIRLS CALENDER!!! Come on, pppplllllleeeeeeaaaassssssseeeeeee!!! *sniff sniff* *lower lip protruding* After all, I AM your favorite niece!! I too did the trumpet and loved it! Wanted it and loved it. Yep, all boys and me....and I was first or second chair all thru school! Hee hee. Chuck Mangione was my hero! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| i would have loved to have a clarinet when i was a kid, my parents made me play the trumpet instead. and you know, i learned to like it. besides, the whole trumpet section was BOYS, and one girl, me. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Why you wanting to know Ms. Poolie? Did the 9"x 5" PEEK your interest? hmmmmm....Just jokingly pullin' you leg again. Potato, Potato!! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| But you left off the most important one. You are a dear, sweet, funny friend, to anyone who is blessed enough to be able to say they know you Ms. Poolie. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| One question--What's an "Adverb"??? Just Jokingly, pullingly your legly!! |
| from sunnflower : |
| You're entry about the little girl was so thoughtfully written. I am sure it is hard to suddenly be faced with a totally different reality than you had an expectation. There are all kinds of tickets to Holland. |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| YOU the one with the Magic tonight, girl! Beautiful writing, Miss Poola! |
| from boxx9000 : |
| I found you thru Chaosdaily's diary. I love your writing, you are so funny. My neighbor is stealing my laundry soap AND my anti-static sheets. What's up with that? A conspiracy? |

| Me, 1/24/63. Welcome to the "Aquarian Pool" of knowledge, hard knocks, and quirky senses of humor. Knew there was something special about you! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Aren't all us Aquarians clever? so fess up, when's yours Ms. Poolie? |
| from chaosdaily : |
| ummmm tonight. can you be here by 6?? and check out my pieces of you entry that i just posted. hehe |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Too funny Poolie! I just went to the DMV yesterday to get new plates for my car. Took 3 weeks for appt. and still took 1 1/2 hrs. (C.V. DMV) When I went in 3 weeks ago for drivers license, and asked about my plates, I was told "One trans. per appt." So Ms. Poolie...Driver's License renewal?....You must have a birthday coming up soon too! |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| You make me grateful for "Minnesota Nice". Well, as nice as they CAN get at the DMV. |
| from hissandtell : |
| You're lucky you made a conscious decision to look like a grim serial killer in your DL photo. I've had the misfortune to look like one without even trying, every single time, even when I was going all out to look like a soignee and alluring doll-baby! |
| from mangofarmer : |
| Oh man, that sounds like some bus ride. I've ridden some Slightly Crazy Buses (SCBs) in my day, but none comes close to the BBB. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| JFWACW was in our store the other day, telling us that our devilled eggs and the devilled egg potato salad needed to have their names changed, since we were inviting evil into the world with them... and yes, our lives do intersect for a reason. im glad mine intersected with yours |
| from wifemotherme : |
| OMG my hair! my hair! I knew I was having a shitty last few months! Its this stupid hair cut I tell ya! You tell JFWACW that I am sorry and I will repent and grow it back out asap - for Jesus and to cover my big as Nose! I havent had the chance to ride a city bus since I was about 5, but since you get to met people like that - You know I will be flagging one down today. PS will you come pick me up from where ever it drops me off out? I might never find my way home again. I will be the short hair no angel flying bag lady - at the last bus stop. |
| from nascarwidow : |
| What a ride! Almost makes me want to leave the van home and take the bus to work just so I can see such sites myself! Thanks for sharing. |
| from hissandtell : |
| What a nightmare for you. As if the Crazy Jesus Woman (sorry, can't remember your acronyms) wouldn't have been bad enough, the Crotch-Hole Weenie Tip Man must have been utterly horrific. I feel quite queasy just thinking about him (and his WT). Shudder. A thought - Crazy Jesus Woman could have taken Weenie Tip Man shopping for petticoats to wear over his construction-pants, and then no-one would ever have to face that dreadful weenie on the bus ever again. |
| from thecrankyone : |
| heeeehehehehe when I used to ride the bus, I saw some of those same people. No wonder my life is such ruins. Too much internet and rock music bring Satan over for a visit. LOL.. Am working on DaVinci code. Loving it so far, too bad I never have time to read. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| How exciting! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Now, when are you getting the parrot and eye patch? ha! But I'd skip the peg leg if I were you. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| poola, what more IS there to say? i am jealous!! |
| from iambucket : |
| A pirate in a former life...now it finally makes sense! I know now why you used to dress me the way you used to, and chase me around as you did when I was so little. Glad you were able to visit your heritage- sounds like FUN!!! Were ya able to take any pic's?? |
| from wifemotherme : |
| 1/16/04 - OMG that must have just been the coolest thing to go to play on the ship. I am jealous! |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| Did you swagger like Johnny Depp? What a character!!!!! LOL!!!! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| how fun to watch ships battle! dont get carried away and stay on the ship..... lol, and if you do, at least take a bath now and then |
| from chaosdaily : |
| but it does make sense. sometimes i thought that he would misbehave just so i would punish him, like he did it knowing he would be punished. i dont understand it either. sheesh who really understands the way kids think???? |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| Wow! Pirate ships!!!! Gotta love 'em! I am soooo jealous! Enjoy them while they are there. |
| from hissandtell : |
| You lucky girl! Pirate ships...Johnny Depp...Russell Crowe...big swashes and even bigger bucklings...oh, I have to go and lie down now because I feel all weak all over... |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| I'm sorry about your little Buddy. Why is your neighbor such a sociopath? It seems like she is just barely functioning on the edge of society. That's probably where I'll end up one day, crazy and alone, talking to the single strand of hair on my shoulder, dragging around a tattered baby blanket, and stealing my neighbor's laundry detergent. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| but a sweet butthead.......... |
| from chaosdaily : |
| awwww poor little fritzie. its so sad when pets disappear, they are definetly part of the family/neighborhood |
| from hissandtell : |
| Poor little Fritzie. That was a beautiful eulogy (or, as Zoolander called it, "eugoogly") you wrote. So sad his owner couldn't take her responsibilities a little more seriously. It's hard for me to imagine that coyotes come into urbanised areas and cart off pet terriers, but then I guess dingoes carry away babies in this country... |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Oh Poolie....My heart hurts for both you and little Fritzy. Sad thing is, this woman will probably go out and get another dog, and care for it the same way. Another unnecessary death of one of God's little guardian angels. (((((Poolie))))) ((((Firtzy)))) |
| from treesssa : |
| Hi Thanks for leaving a note for me! Yes, i found your diary by just surfing around, glad i found it. My diary is not as witty and i need to practice major spelling and writting skills, but i hope you stop by again. Thanks for making me addicted! Take care. |
| from wyndspirit : |
| I had a union job. Once. Know what stinks? I'll bet MOST of those employees didn't even WANT to strike, didn't think it worth striking for $5 a week. But because they had to belong to the union and because the union Powers That Be decided they should, they had no choice. Unions can be very good--but sometimes they are totally ridiculous. |
| from life-my-way : |
| Parking garages--feh! In high school a friend and I, with her at the helm, attempted to spiral down a set of ramps in one such garage--a set of ramps which encouraged one to drive down a level, drive to the other end of that level, then drive down again, return to the previous end, etc. We didn't get that memo. After much inching backward and forward we found ourselves utterly wedged, in a full sized Riviera with the nifty wedge shaped rear window, between two concrete walls. The tow truck driver had a small stroke when he arrived to find us thusly wedged. Fun with cars and geometry. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Thank you Poolie. Meeting that little lady just goes back what I've always believed. Everything happens for a reason. Yesterday, she was my reason for being at the Mall, or perhaps for just "being". It made me really look back with shame at the thoughts going through my head, while clenching that bottle of pills Christmas day. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| poola, you are a stitch!! (funny, in case you dont know that slang) anyway, we have a plumbing company around here who guarantees their plumber will be honest, drug free and on time, or they will give you $100. and they guarantee their work for 2 years, or they will do it again for free. they didnt say if they smelled good or not......... hahaha thanks for the laugh! |
| from sunnflower : |
| Your bathroom entry was so funny. That is a freaky experience but I can tell you had a bit of fun with it! |
| from absinthesigh : |
| Oh I forgot something ... Fritos dipped in chocolate ice cream, like dip.. YUM!!!!! I have to tell choasdaily!! with love ophelia |
| from absinthesigh : |
| There is a company, some gourmet company, that makes chocolate covered potato chips and they are The Best Thing Ever. They use *excellent* chocolate (quality is everything in cooking) and... well let's just say at "that time of the month" I make M drive all over town to find me some. If I see them again I will buy them and send them to you! You will suffer no other chocolate covered potato chips after that! with love, ophelia |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Crossing that line is very freeing, isn't it? When my insurance went from $225 a month last year, to $375...decided I'd need to start saving more money. Ironically, the best way to do that was...to cross the picket line and shop where it's cheaper. Oh well! |
| from poolagirl : |
| My niece has such illusions! She actually thought I was snorting spaghetti - never had the heart to tell her I had a piece in my mouth AND my nose! GAAAAAAAAAAAA! |
| from iambucket : |
| ahem. Dear Auntie- poola woola woman. Read your entry today, and really my GAWD! IF you are going to say things now....make sure it is truthful dear old wrinkle carrying butthead! Yes, you did teach spaghetti snorting. Yes, I do know the origin of the name Bucket, however I know you simply could not handle the truth of it all...so I have spared your feeble and aging heart. I want to keep ya around a bit! Lastly- try some flavored coffee and creamer- iT IS FAB!! (man everyone, she is SO TIGHT sometimes!) Hugs to you Butthead- love you! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Get this! I had to go the other day to renew my license. When they went to take the picture, I smiled as usual. The woman said, "Miss, we prefer you not smile." Of course, I had to ask, "Why?" Her reply, "Because most people don't look like themselves when they're smiling." Huhhh???? If that's the problem, then they should've asked me to cry for the picture, 'cause that's what I looked like the last time a cop pulled me over! ha. |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Butthead? Permission to call you Butthead from now! on! Sir! |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Omigosh~ please help me off of the floor. I've been catching up on diaries and just fell off my chair laughing at Blode and Food Go to the Seaside. You certainly have a way of bringing sunshine into everyone's day! :) |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| I get to go to a MANDATORY band meeting tonite with the UBER-Mothers. If that doesn't entitle me to a little kvetching, I don't know what does! MANdatory BAND MeeTING? Huh? Am I on Candid Camera? Is Alan Funt dead yet? |
| from wifemotherme : |
| NSE! NSE! oh i have that too - the doctor calls it mania and demades I take medication for it (; ) |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Quit spreading joy and giggles. I'm TRYING to be grumpy today. |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| Been in Brainerd/Baxter for 16 years. Don't ever want to move. Well, that was until this morning when I woke up and it's 17 below zero!!!! LOL! Your area sounds a lot warmer!!! |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| Yeah, I'm right next to Brainerd. Where abouts did you live when you were here? |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Thank you my sweet Poolie for your kind words that mean so much. And, I'm sorry that I can't, as C has invited so many wonderful people to hear the band. And although I may not be able to picture your face, I have seen your heart, and it is GORGEOUS!!! Hopefully, one of these Wed. you can make it down again to see the band. I look forward to giving you a big hug. For now.... ((((((Poolie))))))) |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| Oh Poolie: I'm not so mad at him, as I am myself. When I looked in the mirror I realize now that I was only seeing what I wanted to see. I don't understand why no one told me sooner. I had no idea I looked THAT bad. But, thank you for caring, and for the much needed prayers. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| so great to know you smell equal on both sides. try onewetleg's advice to me, use those cheap thin gloves and cut the fingertips off. its cold in my puter room too! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| How I loves me some Poolagirl tales of bra launching and deodorant mis-adventures! May I admire you? Somehow you have single-handedly lifted me from my little teeny drama-queen quasi-depression. I am going down to tackle that laundry room now. By Golly! Tie a rope around my waist before I go, would you, and hold on tight! Two yanks means pull me up I'm being attacked by the giant laundry squid of death, one yank means send down some more soap! |
| from hissandtell : |
| No! Sorry! I'm not that cruel. How awful it would be to suggest that you and a mad goose should be forced together in a confined space to settle your differences. It should have read, "Perhaps the box should have gone over Alpha, and you and the others could have roamed freely". Damned commas. |
| from hissandtell : |
| "Superstar" is hilarious. And remember this exchange from Goldmember? Foxxy: "Tell me something I don't know." Austin: "I open-mouthed kissed a horse once." |
| from hissandtell : |
| Yes, Alpha Goose sounds like a real legend. Just imagine how the years of getting away with acting out so much untrammeled aggression and bullying would send a goose giddy with her own powers. Perhaps the fridge box should have gone over Alpha and you and the other near-victims could have roamed freely...I must write about my favourite old goose, Gracie, one day. She was a nasty legend in her own tiny fowl-mind, too. |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Stop dangling cow urine tales in front of me. Out with it! |
| from absinthesigh : |
| I want to talk with you about Pringles. I find them disturbing in that... they never taste like I expect them to. This disturbs me yet I continue to eat them as if... in disbelief. I really want them to taste the way I imagine they should. Crunch "yhew!" crunch "yhew!" Isn't this the definition of insanity? with love, ophelia |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Sometimes when I read something else you have your little paws into, I wonder if I'm getting some of it confused with several other diarists. Rennaissance woman. If you don't count all the unfortunate urine incidents. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| ever eat pringles when they are chocolate covered?? yummy!! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Blort. That's the sound my New Year's popper made last night, I think it was a dud. Hope that doesn't mean anything. Wishing you a wonderful blort-filled New Year, Poolagirl! I look forward to reading the continuing saga. |
| from wvlady : |
| I feel for you. There is nothing worse than a champagne hangover. Happy New Year, Ma'am! |
| from dotsjots : |
| Loved your ramblin' in the rows. Happy New Year and thanks for luring me into D'Land. |
| from mangofarmer : |
| Mango soap, eh? That sounds delightful. Happy New Year! :) |
| from wifemotherme : |
| HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! |
| from sasori-gal : |
| I share your whiffing recall abilities. At this moment, I can only imagine and envy the fragrance of peach cobbler. Lucky you! Have a very happy New Year's Eve/Day! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Maybe a Georgia whorehouse would smell of peaches. Imagine a whorehouse staffed exclusively by men. (A tomcathouse?) It would smell of farts and they'd all be sitting there smiling, secretly proud of each and every flatulent act they'd committed. |
| from wifemotherme : |
| I sware I dont know why I havent added you to my list of favs before - you always crack me up!! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Nutcase! |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Thank goodness someone else has a fear of balloons! Actually, one DID pop in my face and hit me in the eye. *ouch* I don't think I got brain damage, but then again...uh, oh...is that why I'm the way I am? Enjoy the final hours of 2003 and all the best to you in 2004! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Big lips don't scare me, but sometimes people's teeth do - especially little sharp pointy teeth like baby sharks have, or big white badly-fitted dentures that seem to assume a life of their own, like snapping crocodiles. I imagine them chasing me and trying to tear my flesh and smacking their lips as they swallow it. But I think big lips are just like soft sofas - squishy and comfortable. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| lol @ a lip print the size of ohio. its amazing what people will do when they try to keep busy, isnt it? |
| from mnlady1962 : |
| Hey there, yourself! I just found YOU, too! Looking forward to reading your diary. I am from a small town called Baxter. Ever hear of it? |
| from needisaymore : |
| Hi, there! Dutch Babies (terrible name, isn't it??) is some kind of huge oven baked pancake/crepe/egg thingy. I'll send you the recipe or put it in an entry soon. You put eggs and milk and flour in a blender then pour it in a hot buttered pan in the oven and bake. It gets all poufy/puffy. Top it with confectioners sugar and lemon juice. YUMMMM. |
| from wvlady : |
| I don't know if there were 1,000, but there were a lot..LOL A local childrens choir, as well. It was really a neat experience:) |
| from chaosdaily : |
| youd almost have to wonder if the coyote is rabid, that makes them do things they wouldnt normally do. did you ever read the book, the jesus scrolls? it was written by donovan joyce. it has a lot of things in it like the questions you would ask the nuns. for example, the words in the bible sometimes have other meanings from what they did when the bible was written. this book claims that jesus had children, and indeed was married. its been a while since i read it though.... supposedly his information came from some scrolls that were found, its a pretty interesting book. and i went to a catholic elementary school, and that is the main reason i dont really have a "religion" in my life. |
| from thecrankyone : |
| hehehe!! When I took my mom to Midnight Mass on Xmas eve the Bishop was ragging on that book. I couldn't help but think to myself, that he was only making me more determined to read that book. Its a dumb as people who paint Jesus as white and blue eyed.. um hello, given the time and place he would have had dark hair brown eyes and either black or olive skin.. I never spoke up, but I mostly feel the same way. My mom raised my Catholic, but my dad was a Protastant who later switched over to make my mom happy.. I only go when my mom comes up..just to make her happy. |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Season's greetings from afar! Have a great holiday season! |
| from sunnflower : |
| Peppermint soap sounds invigorating! Merry, merry Christmas to you. |
| from sunnflower : |
| Red martini glasses - awesome! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| you should set up a cam in your garage to catch the shock on your neighbors face when your fish starts singing to her.... lmao!!!!! |
| from nascarwidow : |
| OMG once again you've got me laughing so hard I almost pee my self! You truly have an interesting life and I'm thrilled that you're so willing to share it with us. Mineral oil will never have the same meaning. |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Another important lesson learned today from your diary: never inhale a pepper seed. (The previous lesson was: beware of avocados.) You'd love the medicine in Japan. It's all powder! But for tablet, capsule and pill swallowing me, I find it harder to get the powder down without choking on it! *cough, cough* Take it easy! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| lol at least no one who will admit to it..... |
| from chaosdaily : |
| poola, i think you are the only person ive ever heard of who got a pepper seed in her nose. lol. be careful what you sniff!! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Hey Poola! I did not laugh when you broke your tibia over an avacado. Yes I did. Sorry. Next time let that avacado roll straight to hell. |
| from hissandtell : |
| A beautiful entry about Karma and retribution, Poola. And I've always thought that avocadoes are dangerous, evil fruit. They always look so self-satisfied and deceptively benign. They're damned tasty though. |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| You Poolie? YOU? A woman of refinement, gentility, proper breeding, and�..oh yeah, vaginal farts. Never mind! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| I've been called worse. ha! |
| from xnavygrrl : |
| I am so jealous of your dolls! |
| from chubbychic : |
| Gosh, those parties sound hilarious! I'm jealous! |
| from sunnflower : |
| I love the prank gift parties. My best gift was a copy of Steve Martin in The Jerk AND a reggae Christmas CD. It was the best! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| oh poola you should check golfwidow's diary today.... she has sweating snowmen there!!!!! |
| from im2qt2kr : |
| My family being from the South, I need to tell ya', you got way too much in that there box. All ya' really need is Roadkill and a six-pack o' beer! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| accckkk!!! Running from the room, blushing, protesting, cannot take such a compliment! Ohmigosh! Thanks so much, and for the laughs today, so badly needed, entire family sick, gross, I'm coughing and choking, and laughing so damn hard at the image of you sitting there watching your pitiful little marina parade. Only you! |
| from politics101 : |
| Bastare out of Carolina was an incredible book. have you seen the movie? you'll be sobbing all over the place. by the way, can you BELIEVE what daughter did night before last? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh |
| from poolagirl : |
| No sweat. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| yea, poolagirl gets all the angel cards today. but ill never read the word "sweating" and not be able to laugh...... |
| from sasori-gal : |
| An extra special angel card to you, poolagirl for bringing some holiday joy and love into those homeless children's lives. You are truly a saint. :) |
| from poolagirl : |
| I think they CAN at age five. I didn't even know what it WAS at age five, but I'm not a boy. |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Ohmigosh, I thought I was progressive, being a child of the 60's and all, but I'm afraid that "sweating" in the middle of the living room would've caused me to choke on my eggnog too! I don't know what I'll say to my sonny, but I better think of something, he sure does like to spend an inordinate amount of time "shaking it off" when he tinkles. Now here's the part where I show my total ignorance: can a 5 yr old really complete that act? I think I may be an uptight prude, underneath my tie-dye and my equality sign. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| lmao... i can always count on you for a good laugh!! |
| from hissandtell : |
| Hey, Poola-Pie, I wonder if the Stinky-Haired Bus Gal is using Coyote Urine hairspray to keep those pesky urban javelinas away...or else she works in the manufacturer's product testing lab? |
| from chaosdaily : |
| maybe she uses some kind of piss sprayed on her hair to keep the other aliens on the bus away from her.... and i went to a catholic school too, run by nuns.... my knuckles will never be normal..... lol |
| from mangofarmer : |
| Does every bus line everywhere have someone who talks to themself and/or talks to some inanimate object? The best ones have extended debates with invisible people. So entertaining. :) |
| from wishees : |
| I just have to read you first thing every morning, girlfriend! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| no no no no no. Not EVERYONE has vaginal farts. Some of us queebe. Much more genteel. Did I spell any of that right? Oh, for my sandwich, I like smoked turkey on wheat, sliced tomato, and honey mustard, and could you remove the nasty wasty crusts and cut it in itty bitty triangles? thanks, hon. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| lol @ vaginal farts.... ok im outta here now hahahhahaha but dont feel bad, they happen to all of us. its just not many people will admit it! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| It is 6 a.m. in my house, do you realize people are sleeping? I am choking and snorting and falling off my chair clutching at the monitor for support bringing the whole thing crashing down on myself, and you have to vaginally fart in yoga class. My children need their sleep! My husband will wake up and put me on a ladder! Let's think about others before we type stuff like that, shall we? |
| from sasori-gal : |
| *heehee* Hooray for being human and not being afraid to let it out! *wink* |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| GACK! Snort! Chortle! jeezusgod, you crack my shit up. Please get on a plane, fly out here, I shall take you out to the Sons Of Italy club on a Sunday evening, where we can act as stupid as we want and someone will drive us home, remove our shoes and cover us with fuzzy blankets at 2:30 a.m., as it should be. |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Manboobs. You said manboobs. snort. Can manboobs be erotically stimulated I wonder. No reason. I just wonder. plus I like to say manboobs. manboobs. snort! you ain't right. |
| from needisaymore : |
| Yes, he said I was not Christian enough. At the time, he was in a gospel quarter touring the country, recording, etc. That last time he came to see me in Dallas, I think he just felt I had changed too much from the small town country girl he had known before to the more sophisticated city girl he was now seeing. I guess he saw me living a wild life of debauchery or something. I have often wondered myself exactly what he meant. Anyway! As I said, God was good to keep me out of a marriage with him. Turns out he is on his SECOND marriage--which just seemed funny for one who is so "by the Book". All in all, my life of debauchery and sin (NOT) hasn't been too bad after all!! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Where does one get a gig like "Mystery Shopper" because I would like to sign up, yes, right away. I would like $22 an hour and a company car please, a Land Rover, navy blue with white interiour and a very sexy voiced Onstar GPS, I prefer a Latin accent. I'm thinking Antonio Benderes here, not Ricardo Montelbaum. Ohmigosh, thanks for the shout out, I was reading along eating a chicken wing, I nearly choked to see my name in your diary! Gotta go wipe the barbeque sauce off my mouse. I've never had to say THAT before. |
| from chaosdaily : |
| 75�???!!?!?!?!?!? we got a raise???!?!?!??!?!??! |
| from sunnflower : |
| I write my entry in Word or if I am writing in the entry box, I copy the whole entry right before I click the button to add the entry. That way I can always drop the copied entry back into the add an entry box if something goes wrong and try again. I hate losing so much work and have learned the hard way. |
| from needisaymore : |
| Hey, Party Girl! WE DID IT! You have started a craze! We played Chubby Bunny--my boys, my hubby, my sister and her husband and me. Absolutely hysterical. I think my oldest son managed at least TEN marshmallows. I believe I was first out with maybe four. WIMP. What a blast. This will definitely become a family tradition! Glad you had a good holiday! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| we used to play that with malted milk balls. but they would start to melt, and drip down your throat, and it was hard to swallow with your mouth that full. i had a lot of laughs playing that game...... |
| from ornerypest : |
| Now, what you gotta do is hide your real laundry soap but fill your soap container that the soap stealer knows about full of portland cement, or some other obnoxious substance. |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Omigosh~I used to be a Chubby Bunny champion! Thanks for bringing back that memory! By the way, no armadillos here in Japan except they do have an armadillo racing game at the game center. I think my ill-fated creature was flattened on a drive through Nevada or Arizona, but I never really knew if it actually was an armadillo. (My passenger said it was and told me I would be reincarnated as one because I killed it.) |
| from sunnflower : |
| Have a great Thanksgiving! |
| from chaosdaily : |
| yes, you for sure are a pie. its short for sweetie-pie, my best friend calls her daughter that....... she doesnt deserve it, you do. |
| from politics101 : |
| yes, that is EXACTLY what it is. my children used to call it that when they were younger. can things get any grosser around here? |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| Why Poolagirl, you ARE a Pie! A long-haired tree-huggin' marshmallow-stuffin' urine-sprayin' peein'-in-the-fountain Pie! |
| from sasori-gal : |
| All my life I have felt guilty for squashing an armadillo with my vehicle as it ran across this desert highway. Now that you have confirmed that these critters do indeed become highway spatulas, I feel so much better. At least I saved it from the dreaded coyote piss. Who would have thought there'd be so many lethal blends of piss?! |
| from nascarwidow : |
| This has got to be the funniest thing I've read in months. I just KNOW I'm going to be somewhere respectable and start giggling again. Freeze-dried coyote piss and Poolagirl urine in a spritz bottle. What a visual image! |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| I read your urine entry twice. I like urine entries. You already know that. Anyway, I'm confused as to what the psychology was behind the whole "spray your own urine around the yard, and this somehow discourages your dog from being too aggressive to other dogs" procedure. What exactly are you saying to the dog? But, seeing as the idea originated with the scrotum-soaking vet, I guess I should not try to figure it out, it worked, and that's all that matters. I also like scrotum soaking entries. I don't think I told you that before. |
| from hissandtell : |
| Well, now - have you considered going into your own mass production of a line of Poolagirl Urine in a Spritz Bottle products? For raccoon AND dog deterrent purposes? Could be a big seller! |
| from sunnflower : |
| I love rubber duckies lined up on a tub. Re the hair and malting machines - I once had a run in with a mixer which I explained here - http://sunnflower.diaryland.com/030409_18.html All I can say is yikes! |
| from sasori-gal : |
| Gee, if you ever get tired of your job, you might do very well opening up an erotic bakery! *yummy* |
| from hissandtell : |
| Your failures in the kitchen cracked me up. Delights indeed. And the baby (oops - there goes another paper clip!) shower taste-testing sounds positively ghastly. Do grown-ups really do that? Eat baby food, I mean? Eeeyeww. |
| from wvlady : |
| All the head bonkings explain a lot...heheh I like to play Bingo on Pogo! *taking my cane and going back to work* |
| from mom-on-roof : |
| I'm collecting all of your falling down stories and turning them into Trading Cards. I think we can make a fortune! It's the next Pokemon, but it's you in all these helarious precarious positions. The Poolagirl Pees in Fountain card is worth the most points and is the rarest, it goes for $8500 on Ebay. Your cut is 50 bucks. Hey, I got all this overhead, you know. |
| from sunnflower : |
| I tend to be a bit of a tripper myself or perhaps more of an ankle twister. |
