Babyn - I'd trust Twinkie on this one. Being as I'm from Nashvull, I din't get teached to read until I was 28. I din't start the ritin' til I was 29 and I din't learn to use this here computer thingamabob until yesterdaay!
Doncha even get me started on that there rithmatic.

Well that is just extry stuff- the real question is could you do a Virginny Reel complete with the "alternate calls" by the end of first grade? did you learn the words to Elvis songs as part of your gubbermint paid public school curriculum? did your parents part with their hard earned wages for you to learn to clog????????

I'm so bad! I ran down here to get some papers for a little meeting I'm having and instead I stop to DIS! How EVVVIIIILLLL of me!

Duh. You are from Nashvegas.

 

[babynurse1]

You doubt me???? I am hurt. Cel lives nearish Nashville and I got mah edumacation in Me'phis. Well some of it. So I know how to spell Suthurn. I do.


Poly- I didn't know that jaundice could be a life long problem. One of my kids had it complete with the light blanket and daily hospital trips for the dreaded heel stick. Not Goldenchild ironically enough... hope your family is doing well. So how long till your stay at the Red Roof Inn?

No, I do not doubt you. I was just . I told you I was in a funky mood today.

5 is the new 3? Is that like 40 is the new 30? At least that's what Dr. Christian Troy said on some kind of show I saw once on t.v. Probably on the Discovery channel, because I think it included some surgery scenes.

Oko (that's hotT college speak btw) I'll trust the Twinkster. I never doubted her for a minute. Scout's honor. Twink: maybe we could change that to Boo's honor. tee hee hee. WWBRD?


Is being from Nashvull like being from Loo-Uh-Vull 'cept not quite as good. I'm just joking of course. I told you I was in a wIerd mood. Ok, I need to sign off, but I can't break the addiction. Actually, I was answering a pm. Wasn't I thorough? I was gone several minutes. And I will have you know there was not an ounce of smartypantsness in my reply (maybe a smidge, but not a complete ounce)

 

[babynurse1]

Umm. Ok? I will not say ANYTHING about John Stockton.
Whew! That was a close one! Glad we averted the scary BN breaking point.

She doesn't come out to play very often, but when she does...cue doomsday music. It's more entertainment than a Stephen King festival at the Baxter Avenue theaters.

Now I am all nostalgic for my days in the greenest state in the land of the free. So I will share with you ANOTHER fine product of a TN public school education. Let me repeat, the words and grammar where what we learned IN SCHOOL.

In music we learned the following song. To be sung by the girls, while the boys strum along soulfully on the autoharp.



Come along girls
Listen to my voice
Don't you marry no Tennessee boys
If you do, your life will be
ho cake, honey and sassafras tea.

When a young man falls in love
First its "honey" then "turtledove"
After he is married, no such thing
"Get up and get my breakfast you good for nothing thing"

Ah yes, the good ole days, when young men were taught to call their wives "good for nothing things" Man, why don't they teach stuff like that anymore.

Well, at least they warned you not to marry Tennessee boys, I'll give them that.

My Indiana public school edumacation had nothing so offensive in it. Speaking of nostalgia. Twinkie did you ever read a book in elementary school about a cat that was named Piewacket or Pywacket or Peyewhackit or something that sounds like that? I recall it vividly except the spelling. I have no idea why I just thought of that.

Yessirree Bob I did. That should be my next ticker. n/t back at last.

Can't wait for the new season to begin. NOW that is some riveting television, my friends. If you are easily offended, skip it though. Just another friendly PSA.

 

[babynurse1]

TwinkleBelle: a new nickname for you everyday. It's my speciality.


I gotta run. Good to talk to you again. If you recall the cat with the unusual name book, let me know. Perhaps it too was a figment of my imagination.

Cel: Thank you for not dissin' John Stockton, knowwhatimsayin? Peace out homey. Fo shizzle my grizzle. Keep it on the down low.

10 more posts until I reach 13,000....again. Don't know what happened to all my other posts. They just magically disappeared.

OH MY HECK....I think I just busted something important in my gut from laughing.

WHAT is sassafrass? It's something naughty in Aerosmith's Love in an Elevator lyrics, MY favorite song from my favorite all time band....here's a snippet:

Gotta get my timin' right
It's a test that I gotta pass
I'll chase you all the way to stairway, honey
Kiss your sassafrass


I'm sure I'd be blushing right now if I knew what the sam-hill that was.

And they did tell us that men may not be as romantic in marriage as they were in courting. That is a quality education folks. The wierd thing is this wasn't in the stone age but circa 1981.

I have lots of TN schoolin' stories. Especially considering I was only there for 3 grades.....

n/t back at last.

Yeah- DH and I spend a lot of time speculating what this next season will bring... but another PSA- it can be very disturbing. Plus all the surgery scenes. I have had to skip quit a bit of it because it is too much but they always reel me back in....

Yes. I did read that book. But I can't find in on Amazon now. Must be out of print. I think it was Pywacket or Piewacket. The copy I read had a blue cover with a ginger cat depicted thereon. (I don't think that thereon is a word but I like it. Sounds like it might be a new element.) But you certainly are NOT crazy.

Also I love the nicknames. WWBRD?

 

[babynurse1]

they sure did!

T!!! You live. YAY. I ALMOST signed off, but I had to say Howdy to my favorite new mommy.

Going Down Mr. Tyler? Love the song. Love the video. Love the Band. Love the RockNRoller Coaster. Love that you love them too. It's a love fest here on the dis tonight folks.

Maybe I should move to Utah!!! Then my for John Stockton would be appreciated. At least y'all know a good thing when you see one.


ETA: Yes, my game board addiction caused me to have too many posts. But, I have been reformed. I rarely play the disboard games anymore. My post count has been climbing ever so slowly of late.

Twinkadink:

AHA! the book did exist. [Charlize] Thereon, I am not crazy, although I have been called wIerd a couple of times. Yup, it's been decided that I am definitely wIerd.

This is my sign off. Dont post anything interesting, oko?

are you sure those are the lyrics?

cause sassafrass is type of tree, the roots of which could be made into a tea or "other" beverage slightly more toxic than root beer

old fashioned people, like the first dad in the Carosel of Progress call it "sassparilla"

No one drinks it anymore, the plant really is somewhat poisonous. But then again, tomato plants are in the same family with the deadly nightshade

 

[LittleBlue22]

Is it too late to post pirate pictures to keep Bnurse signed on-.... even though she's..... invisible?

I've got so much to read to catch up on...

I hope every one is staying cool, b/c its hot baby!

A big mooo to all of you in the pasture!

I think Steven Tyler used to use the MadLib method of lyrics-writing. He just needed a noun is all.

You are a plethora of information, though. I'm enriched today, Twinkiedoodles!

 

[poly]

You doubt me???? I am hurt. Cel lives nearish Nashville and I got mah edumacation in Me'phis. Well some of it. So I know how to spell Suthurn. I do.


Poly- I didn't know that jaundice could be a life long problem. One of my kids had it complete with the light blanket and daily hospital trips for the dreaded heel stick. Not Goldenchild ironically enough... hope your family is doing well. So how long till your stay at the Red Roof Inn?

LOL, no Red Roof Inn for us. We look across the lagoon at it from our room. I've many a photo of the RRI and WL at sunrise-quite pretty from where I am
Think we're at 71 days.

the MadLib method





I could have been a songwriter after all!


Maybe my next trip report will be MadLib method

 

[WheatThins]

Wow. Babynurse went on a posting frenzy. I told you she would have something earth shattering to contribute.

No golf, depositions today. An expert who, as it turned out, wasn't such an expert after all. Ha.

[celerystalker]

hey all. I'm home now and having a relaxing cocktail. So I have lots to say about the education I received around Nashville as opposed to around Memphis, but since the drinks, I don't care so much about typing. ha.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

So you post ALL DAY and I get home and no one posts for an hour and a half?!! I put my deodorant on today!!!!!! Really, really, I did!

Pyewacket is also the name of a children's book, written by Rosemary Weir. First published in 1967, this centers around the destruction of a series of row houses from the viewpoint(s) of a resilient alley cat (Pyewacket) and his friends that stay on the property and adapt to a new life.

Is this the book you mentioned, BN and TwinkKitty? I don't recall it . . .

I don't think I've ever had my post count poof before

Uma, that was some pretty fast talking . . . errr, eloquent explaining . . . there on the Others/Left Behinders (uh, Kirk Cameron where are you? )/Drive-byers/Mysterious Lurkers

You are holding it together well for the ex-hubby/spouse graduation invasion. It's nice that you are able to celebrate Jordan's milestone amicably.

Lil Blue - Hope you get caught up soon. I'd love a TJ update too!

Nab - It is looking like rain here. Maybe some rain will loosen up the roots on the little tree that has grown in your flower garden.

Since I work for the gubbermint, I have to vote on the National Spelling Bee Champ's spelling Didn't catch that quote edit until the second reading, BN!!!

 

[kpk89]

Ok, the Others is maybe a not-good term. It's just to signify the chosen-one's from the left-behinders. You can be both an Other AND a Regular like Haley. Or you can be what we affectionately term a drive-byer and stop in only to say "Hi" and may or may not come back to read the responses. Personally, I'd like you to be a regular, for a million reasons. Or then there's our mysterious lurkers. Who for whatever reason are not comfortable being an Other AND a Regular at the same time. We welcome all with open arms, really. We truly miss all of you. It's not the same without ya. I know how busy being in two places can be, but we'd love to hear more from y'all.

I want to be just like Haley. Haley rocks.
