<p>:) I love this place. :)</p>
<p>jym – thanks for the info on when I’ll “officially” graduate to “Member.” 300 posts? I’ll never make it! Oh well, pass me another drink to drown my sorrows – and to get rid of the “cleaning out/reorganizing the basement” aches and pains. Is there a Fairy for that?</p>
<p>CBBBlinker: you should have called for the SA marmots to help with your basement cleaning before you overdid it and got the aches & pains! Next time you’ll know.</p>
<p>Edit: marmots can do that, can’t they?</p>
<p>I have done 4 loads of DS’s laundry after he got home Monday night–laundry bag contents plus his bedding which I assumed needed it too. :eek: </p>
<p>Funny episode–I noticed one pair of pants had a large hole in the knee, then another pair had a totally shredded knee. He looked at me blankly and said, “It’s ok, I have another pair without holes.” </p>
<p>“another pair?” You’ve just graduated, and you’re starting your first job wearing what??? </p>
<p>I guess we’re going shopping this week.</p>
<p>CBBB, That’s another one of my favorites, the Purge Fairy. That’s the one who periodically thins the menagerie of stuffed animals (with extreme prejudice), the one who takes out of style designer suits to the goodwill, the one who hold garage sales. She throws lightening bolts at storage centers and her logo is a garage you can park in.</p>
<p>My best friend is my personal Purge Fairy.</p>
<p>She has been known to show up on a weekend and say, “That’s it! We are cleaning out your side yard.” And she means it.</p>
<p>Yes, in this day and age, I do have a best friend. On her cellphone my phone number comes up Best Friend.</p>
<p>But you guys are my cyber-best friends. And I really rarely get to get wildly drunk with my IRL best friend. Because then how would I drive home?</p>
<p>How do we get home from the Alley?</p>
<p>Eek.</p>
<p>^^^ we just click our heels together 3 times, right?</p>
<p>^^^ Some of us go home from the Alley?? :eek:</p>
<p>Got any remedies for a flu in the Alley? I’m the unluckiest person on this planet, it seems. I’ve got the stupid bug, and it is almost the end of May! Time to rabbit-proof my garden beds, but I can’t move a muscle! So I just sit by my laptop and waste my time on CC while the bunnies are having a field day in my veggies.</p>
<p>BunsenBurner get to the doctor if it is within 48 hours. You can get Tamaflu to reduce severity and length of flu. But if you wait longer than that it won’t work.</p>
<p>Dear BB,
Agree w/Singersmom07. We had an outbreak at our skilled nursing home, everyone got Tamiflu. Different doses for prevention, to lessen symptoms, and for renal function. It did seem to help a bit, might be worth a try-ck with your physician.</p>
<p>Scat, bunnies. Get out of BB’s garden. She needs her vegetables. Join a rabbit food coop. Scat!</p>
<p>(There. They’re gone. Now rest your weary head, BB.)</p>
<p>Thank you all! I called the doc, but they just said stay put at home. May be they do not want my bugs in their waiting room? I’m actually getting over it, I think. Oh, well, may be you can recommend something from the Alley’s drink list? I heard ethanol was great for disinfecting! ;)</p>
<p>Calling all marmots…calling all marmots…bunny duty…</p>
<p>Of course, given this is the Alley, they might think it’s a different kind of Bunny. Hmm. I think that’s OK.</p>
<p>BB - what’s good on the list? Um, everything. Cheetos in bourbon might help:).</p>
<p>Thought that might make you recoil in such disgust that the germs are laid waste…</p>
<p>Click. Click. I always did want ruby slippers.</p>
<p>Can we click our ruby slippers whilst sitting down?</p>
<p>Or do we have to be able to do that jump-to-the-side-thing-and-click-while-jumping?</p>
<p>If the latter, I won’t be any help at all.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Is that the bunny hop? Or is it Crunk? Or Hype?</p>
<p>CRUNK!!</p>
<p>dying of laughter, p3T you’re so hip!!</p>
<p>She’s hip all right. And I’m … not.</p>
<p>I had to wiki it. Whilst sitting of course.</p>
<p>oh dear. I had to GOOGLE “crunk.”</p>
<p>I am so not hip.</p>
<p>Salud, mafool. Is there a Naugahyde booth for losers?</p>
<p>Just use crunk in a sentence today and you can jettison loser status.</p>
<p>Like at Starbucks: “Better make that a grande-- I was so crunk last night; I’m still feeling it!” Counter help will go: :eek:</p>
<p>And this is insider former loser info, but there’s a site called urban dictionary, you can find all mysterious phrases defined there. Your kids will marvel at your hipness!</p>
