Melrick

*snickers*

I am so moving to Australia. I have been getting survey calls for MONTHS about our city mayoral election. Granted, other positions are also up for elections, but gods be good, I hate the phone by now.

I just don't understand why US elections have to go for SO LONG!

Don't look at me.

thumbtacks work just as well, don't they?

Duct tape. The choice of pit fiends everywhere.

Our roads are a sheet of ice. You all are welcome to come and visit.

I'll take the snow any day. Breathe easy. Iced tea?

Actually, I finished the iced tea off days ago. But I'll be getting more tomorrow, in a blessedly air conditioned supermarket...

The hardest part is remembering to take care of yourself, too.

Boy, you're not wrong there. It's easier not to.

Perkele.

i see what you did tiara

Looking forward to it!

That is utterly worthy of brain bleach...

WTG Melrick!

Thanks. :-)

I'll tell you, I'm quite happy with the fact that if I want to read staff stuff, it's always going to be GOOD stuff. We're blessed with having excellent writers on staff except for me and Rogue of course

awwww

I can understand that. But for what it's worth, it's good to have you back again.

Thanks.

This is a pretty basic biscuit recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/southern-biscuits-recipe/index.html As far as scones, I use recipes from a British cookbook for those, so mine are probably the same as what you'd get.

So you lot use scones as a part of your main meals, like with gravy and whatnot? That is some crazy shit going on right there! You lot are wacky. lol

Yes, we are! Batshit crazy, the lot of us! lol

If the car is written off, the agreed value of it wouldn't even be enough to buy the same car again. So I either have to buy a worse car or put my own money to it. I loose either way.

That absolutely sucks. Is there any hope that they'll choose to fix instead?

Don't know. I'll find out next Wednesday.

And that is why I stay the hell away from your backyard, my friend. I'd need full body armor to visit your backyard, honestly...

I'm taking great delight in knowing my backyard is safer than Melrick's yard.

*sniggers* mine's safer. No snakes at all... and no lizards, or frogs, or even deadly spiders.

I think I'd rather look into some scalp tattoos… or a bad toupee

Tattoos. Definitely tattoos.

I'd shave my head and turtlewax it

Sounds like a perfect Christmas! All the best to you!

What more could one ask for?

Actually, that was me showing tremendous restraint. You should see me when I'm annoyed.

Honestly, I think this has gone too far. It's easy to read mal-intent when you can't hear inflection. Melrick, I do not deny your right to express yourself, I responded because your initial statement was very challenging towards naysayers. I hold no disrespect for your position, I just gave an opposing one and I thought it was funny that it didn't take much to break your restraints. LockedBox - I don't feel I incited with my view, as my words were not inflammatory, but perh...

Aack! The comment box lets you ramble on but there seems to be a character limit. I was cut off and so was Locked Box. How do you read the entire comment?

Happy Birthday!

oops! forgot to say it here! Happy Birthday!

Thanks for all your birthday wishes! I appreciate it. :-)

A very happy Mother's Day to her from me as well!

The same to you!

No, thank you. I'll stick to large doses of ibuprofen and a nice hot cup of coffee, if it's all the same...

I will stick to my meds if you don't mind

Naproxen works wonders....

You should come to Australia, especially if you're not fond of snow. We also treat our politicians with the contempt they deserve.

yeah... The moonbats and crazies have descended. Australia and Canada seem pretty good. Anyone need a nurse who has training to deal with almost the full spectrum of issues?

Nurses are always welcome here.

I will keep you in my thoughts Melrick!

Hang in there Melrick. My family knows this one all too well. BIL undergoing surgery Tuesday for recurrence.

Thanks. Even the threat of cancer is like an axe hanging over your head, suspended by a startlingly thin rope. And good luck to you too DG.

Sounds about like summer where I live. D: I'll wish for some of the rain we're having here to go your way. xP

I'm with Wench, I would trade you in a second over the cold!

send it my way

LOL

I'm not sure we had a plan.

I tried it for a couple of reasons: firstly, I'm a cheese lover; and because of the comments some have made about it being surprisingly nice. I now know these people to be insane.

Now if you like brie, Saint Andre is a nice triple cream brie...

what? blue cheese is nice. Stilton. or St.Agur... *feels v alone*
