I'm having a hard time getting on the boards AGAIN today....what's up with that?

Ok, another dumb superstition in my family:

If you're walking with a friend and something in your path makes you walk on one side of it and your friend the other, you must immediately say "Bread and Butter", or your friendship will be broken.....I know.....really silly.....but we Southerners have nothing to do all day but think up these crazy things....YA'LL

HEY! I grew up saying that as a kid! Nowadays, when Joe and I are walking down the street and this happens, I say "Bread & butter" and he rolls his eyes at me! I knew I wasn't crazy!

I'm back. Ella's not feeling very well this morning. But I just gave her some chocolate, she'll be fine now.

Superstition, I don't know if you can really call it that but, I'm afraid to tell a little white lie to get out of something because I believe it will come true if I do. Like if there is something that we don't want to do, so I really want to make up an excuse like one of the kids are sick or Dan has to work, I'm afraid to do it because then it will come true. I can't tell little white lies. I think my mom cursed me when I was little with the "God will get you for that" talk.

Ella is feeling better and is re-arranging the videos so I gotta intervene.

Morning [color=0066FF]T[/color][color=CC0066]A[/color][color=00CC66]G[/color][color=00BFFF]L[/color][color=FF1493]I[/color][color=FF6600]K[/color][color=FFCC00]I[/color][color=9900FF]N[/color][color=00FF00]S[/color]

I'm at home today.....thought it was the flu, but maybe it was just something I ate. (like 1,000,000 cashews). So I get to play with you today (between naps).

[COLOR=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/COLOR] I like all thee locatins for our new house, but I really like the idea of having our own island, so #2 or #3 are my favorites.

QOTD. Not really superstitious, but I do touch wood and sometimes look for 'signs' when about to make a choice. Although I think when you 'look' for a sign, you pretty much see the one you want to see! Here's a story about that: recently PixieMagic was hiking one of the nearby mountains and was walking past a family where the son was trying to convince his parents to take him to Disney World! As she walked past, he saw her ALK t-shirt and said "See! It's a sign!" ..........ok, it didn't happen exactly like that, but it's a good story

Cheeringmom have a great time at Disneyland and, if it isn't still closed for refurbishment, ride Indy for me! Also check out what candy they are making on Main Street.....oh, oh, oh you should have breakfast at Carnation Cafe on Main Street and have the pecan crumble pancakes...very yummmy. Are you going to Goofy's Kitchen for a character meal? Are you going to Storytellers Cafe? HEY why haven't we heard some of the details? HOW can we live vicariously without them? Talk woman!

OK. must go lie down now, back later

...we say 'bread and butter' also.

 

[Bichon Barb]

What are they puttin' in y'alls sweet tea, huh?

OMG, I saw a comedian on Comedy Channel that was talking about going to Georgia and the whole "swee' tea" thing. Too funny. Everywhere you go, they offer you sweet tea. Like pushers. "Y'all want some swee' tea? Come on. I KNOW y'all want some swee' tea. Here comes the swee' tea. What?! You don't want no swee' tea?!!"

LOL. I guess you had to be there.

Up here in Yankeeville, we had nice sayings like:

Step on the crack, you'll break your mother's back.

Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.

Boys are stupid, boys are dumb. Boys are made out of bubble gum.

My mother and your mother were hanging out clothes. My mother punched your mother right in the nose. What color was the blood. R-E-D and you are not it.

Remember that song--Oh little playmate. Come out and play with me. And bring your dollies three. Climb up my apple tree.

Well, we sang--Oh little enemy. Come out and fight with me. I'll bring my bee-bee gun, and we'll have lots of fun. I'll shoot your eye out, and make you bleed. And we'll be enemies. For ever more!

AND my all time favorite--Sally had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell, Miss Sally went to heaven, the steamboat went to...hello operator. Please give me number nine, and if you disconnect me, I'll kick you up behind the curtain, there was a piece of glass, Miss Sally sat upon it, and broke her little...ask me no more questions. I'll tell you no more lies...

Okay that's enough. Lovely, huh? Geez, all this great poetry I haven't passed down to my children? Hmmmm.

Did I mention how bored I am.

Yeah, here too.

I didn't know anyone else knew this. My mom used to sing it with me when I was little. I loved it.

Oh my goodness, the memories. Were you my neighbor?

Does anyone remember this one:
Oh I wish I were a little round orange, I wish I were a little round orange, I'd go squirty squirty squirty over your shirty, oh I wish I were a little round orage. Oh I wish I were a little bar of soap, I wish I were a little bar of soap, I'd go slippy slippy slidy over your little hidy, oh I wish I were a little bar of soap.

I don't remember the rest of it!

 

[llebrekniT]

It's true BichonBarb you're not a true southerner if there ain't a pitcher of sweet tea on your countertop. House wine of the south.

I visited your insurance thread Lewski. And the other one about the parsnips, that's because of me isn't it?

I'm hungry, need a snack or something. Anybody wanna fetch me something?

Hmmm, guess not. Well, I'm off to find something for my tummy and pour myself a nice glass of sweet tea, then I have to do some office work for a while.

 

[cadburysmom]

Ok, here's another one....

I'm looking over
My dead dog, Rover
He got ran over last night...

One leg is missing
And one leg is gone
One leg is scattered
All over the lawn....

Sick, I know......just wish I knew the rest of it.......now I'll be humming the stupid tune all day......

 

[Bichon Barb]

Hee-hee. Lovin' these little diddies. I know a few that start with "I once knew a man from Nantucket...", but I don't think they'd be allowed on the DISboards, so I'll save them for our PI outting.



As far as the tea thing goes, I just started drinking iced tea (unsweetened with lemon) a few years ago. But only in the summer. No one I know drinks it except for my MIL. It is refreshing with lunch on a hot day.

My sister who lives in Atlanta is now addicted to the stuff.

 

[deadheadbelle]

[COLOR=FF0033]cadburysmom[/COLOR], I can't remember it all, but I remember singing

I'm looking over
my dead dog, Rover
That I over-ran with the mower

I also remember most of the ones Bichon Barb mentioned (except the enemy & the playmate ones). Only when we sang the Sally one, instead of a curtain, it was an elevator. I guess the one we sang was an updated version due to the advances in technology....

Never heard Lewski709's orange little ditty.

Oh, how is this one...
A Peanut Sat on a Rail Road Track, his heart was all a flutter.
Around the Bend Came Number 10, Toot Toot Peanut Butter!

 

[Lewski709]

[COLOR=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/COLOR] the parsnips thread was for you. AND for whoever it was that was making fun of me before when I said I liked roasted root veggies (when RickinNYC said he was making them).

So, ohanafamily tell your tale of parsnips! It's a poll called Here a nip, there a nip everywhere a Parsnip.

OK, still don't know what a parsnip is because everytime I've tried to go in that thread the boards are going so s-l-o-w. It's just too painful here anymore.

Back to work!

P.S. For the record I'm not entirely sure what was going in Rick's root dish.......

 

[Danauk]

Evening everyone,
Lewski709 I posted on your parsnip thread, I love them roasted!
So how has everyones day been? Mine was quite good. I'm not sure what has been going on as I tried to read the threads posted since I went to bed but the board kept timing out and I ended up giving up!
Anyone have any good plans for this evening? I'm not doing much. DH has our friend over at the moment doing some revision for a computer course they are on (although he keeps looking at what I am writing on the dis boards!!)
Have a good evening

 

[ohanafamily]

Looks like the boards are back up...

 

[ohanafamily]

I found the Parsnip Poll!!!!!!!!!
I love Parsnips, Parsnips, Parsnips...
OMG, I may start sounding like Tigger Fans! and the color purple...No, Please don't put me in Time-out, I am not talking techie talk, we are talking Parsnips, I said Parsnips, here!!!!!

They are so Yummy!!!!!!!!!!

Parsnips....YUM
