[bleever]

And doing a fine job of separating the leaves from the stems from the nuts.

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi bleev!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

2. Happy Passover, y'all!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

3. Hi Rev! Hehe, love that pic!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

7. Ain't it cool?

I love Siamese kittehs! :loveya:

:hi:

[bleever]

6. I'm making latkes.

Like we Irish do.

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

8. I celebrated with the traditional German dish.

Hamburger Helper Asian Beef, with fried cabbage added. :9

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

11. Hi everyone!

:hi: I must admit, though, that I am very disappointed that Keith has chosen to take the cheap shot at Carly Fiorina tonight by ridiculing her up one side and down the other for speaking of Passover/Easter as a time when people "break bread together."

Matzoh IS bread, Keith. Unleavened bread. But it doesn't cease to be bread merely because it doesn't rise.

Communion wafers are "bread," or spoken of as "bread," all the time, as in "communion bread and wine." They're not leavened either. Why? Because they're meant to be a reflection of the Last Supper, which was...a Passover Seder. So of course, the bread Jesus broke was unleavened...but that didn't make it not bread.

Really, there are so many other reasons to mock Carly Fiorina, it's nitpicking and petty to ridicule her for this one. A waste. I've already gone on two threads on DU saying so, and I'm not changing my mind just because Keith is taking the easy shot.

So, how is everyone else??? I'm pissed because I left my phone recharger in Chicago and it hasn't turned up. And because it was kind of a wonky defective charger to begin with, I can't buy a new one here for anything because it's no longer sold. Which means I may have to BUY A NEW FUCKING PHONE.

I FUCKING HATE HAVING TO RE-BUY EXPENSIVE THINGS I ALREADY OWN!!!!!!!!! :grr:

pardon my bad mood, but I'm just enraged.

[RevCheesehead]

12. Speaking of re-buying things,

How's your iPod? :hi:

[Berry Cool]

15. Bless your heart, Rev.

:hug: You reminded me that I DID find my iPod, and didn't have to re-buy it after all!

[SeattleGirl]

13. Hi Berry.

Regarding needing a new phone, check with your service provider and see if they have any deals. Last time I upgraded my phone, I got a Blackberry Curve for FREE. My husband just got a Droid for $127 with a $100 rebate, so it will only cost him $27.

And here, have a drink on me:



Sorry you're not having a good day.

[RevCheesehead]

14. And don't forget e-bay.

I got a brand new computer keyboard for $10. The other ones in the stores (which weren't like this model) were going for $25. And I got it in 3 days. :)

[SeattleGirl]

16. Good suggestion, Rev.

I forgot about eBay

[Berry Cool]

20. You have a point.

I got into a really violent fit one day at my video recorder (which as you all know, I hate) and flung its remote at the wall, splintering it into bits--and was able to replace it by going to some Web site that sold replacement remotes for jillions of models. Only $35 to pitch that fit, did it cost me... :eyes:

[Berry Cool]

17. Thanks, SG.

:hug: to you too, and thanks for the drink!

[SharonRB]

22. Matzah is never referred to as bread

It was a stupid thing for Carly to say. I'm with Keith om this.

[Berry Cool]

32. I guess I'm just an idiot, then.

I always thought matzoh was "unleavened bread." :shrug:

Anyway, Keith seems to be joining the pile-on just as an excuse to rerun the FCINO ad, which to me is a lot more absurd than calling matzoh "bread."

[GigiMommy]

30. Berry...

:hi: :hug: :pals: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:


From Me and Cassie, hope that helps.

[Berry Cool]

34. Thanks, GGM and Cassie.

Sadly, I am prone to pitching fits of rage at the smallest things. They usually involve me spending money to replace things I already owned but managed to break or misplace. Also things that just plain "don't work." *sigh*

[Berry Cool]

44. oh, and...

:hug:

[WolverineDG]

4. Happy Tuesday!

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

5. Hi Wolvie!

:hi:

[RevCheesehead]

9. Wolvie!

:loveya::hi:

[SeattleGirl]

10. The Republicans' choochoo has completely jumped the tracks.

Completely.

:crazy:

[RevCheesehead]

18. OK, I admit it...

I missed Oddball! :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

19. Me too! I was totally cracking up watching those news anchors

fall out of their chairs! :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

21. OK, I freely admit

I am not having as bad a day as those anchors.

"Putting the 'sink' in 'Helsinki.'" :rofl:

:loveya: Keith.

[GigiMommy]

23. Hi Everybody!!!

I WOULD have to live in the same state as these "NUTBALLS".:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

25. Hi Gigi and Miss Cassie!

Oh, you're not alone there. Those nutball groups are all over the country.

:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[GigiMommy]

33. Hi SG!!!

Sadly, that is the case.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[RevCheesehead]

26. The Hutarii...

sound like residents of a distant planet on Star Trek. :think:

Hi Gigi and Cassie! :hi: :bounce::bounce:

[GigiMommy]

36. Too bad the Klingons and Romulans can't take care of them.

Hi Rev!!!


Cassie was an Acolyte during the Palm Sunday service.:hi: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:


(My Baby's growing up):cry:

[RevCheesehead]

38. That is really, really cool!

Way to go, Cassie!! O8)

[RevCheesehead]

24. Hey, watch it!

My dream car, when I was 12, was an AMC Gremlin, in purple, with Levis interior. No shit.

[SeattleGirl]

27. LOL! Guess you're gonna throw Gene under the bus, huh?

:rofl:

[RevCheesehead]

29. My first car: an AMC Spirit.

A kinder, gentler Gremlin. In golden yellow, with a V-8 engine. VROOOOOOOM!

[Berry Cool]

35. EEK! Maybe THAT shouldn't have come true, either!!!!

You know, I've missed 90% of Keith's show being upset. I'm going to have to watch the 10 pm carefully. (I'd rerun my tape right away, but I don't want to miss Rachel.)

[RevCheesehead]

39. I LOVED that car!

:cry:

[Berry Cool]

43. OK, OK, I'm sorry.

I am making fun of your poor car.

But you have to admit, the average pair of Levi's probably lasted longer than the average Gremlin.

[WolverineDG]

37. did it have the flames on the front tires?

:rofl:

I still fall on the floor at that scene in Wayne's World where they're driving Garth's Mom's Pacer & it has flames.

dg

[RevCheesehead]

40. Only when I hit 80.

A friend of my parents wanted me to buy their Pacer. After driving it one day, I cried.

[Berry Cool]

28. Isn't it nice that some dreams DON'T come true??

:rofl: Anyway, LOL, I found a place online that sells my kind of charger. Deeply discounted too, no doubt because of the flaws! I'm going to buy one!

[RevCheesehead]

31. Congrats!

Now you can just cuss out the shipping charges. :)

[Berry Cool]

42. Yeah, the shipping is actually costing me more than the charger!!!!

That's how deeply it's discounted!!!! Like I say, these babies are defective to begin with (you have to plug them in a certain way or they don't work)--the company is actually having to refund those of us who bought them, so ultimately this won't cost me much--I just didn't want to be chargerless until I got a new one.

Luckily my sister has the same model and she's going to bring her charger over so I can borrow it and I think I can get through the next few days on that charge. The problem is, with no land line, I'm completely unable to make calls with a dead cell phone.

And guess what happened while I was watching the end of Keith...MY FATHER CALLED EXPECTING ME TO BE FREE FOR A FRIENDLY CHAT!!!!!!! I am literally on ONE BAR, people. I have NO BATTERY TIME LEFT to even explain to my father why I can't talk to him!!!! I told him I couldn't talk to him right now and to call my sister and ask her why!!!!AGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! :banghead: I'm going to email him later, but dammit, why'd he have to call me looking for someone to talk to TONIGHT??????? (Yes, that is what my father literally does; he calls around until one of his daughters answers, just so he has someone to talk to. GRRRRRRR!)

41. "The edge of corruption with elegance an eroticism."

But it's NOT a strip club? Well, technically, if they're ALREADY stripped...

:P
