Heather talks about public tantrums (from kids) on today's Momversation.
- RIP Louis Mortimer Armstrong: http://bit.ly/1R4tv6
- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.
- Our fish just died. And I'm sitting here crying. And it wasn't even my fault!

The main entry today reminds me that a few years ago there was this joke book about rednecks in circulation. While it was full of the stereotypical Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel jokes, a few struck home. I'm thinking in particular of the "list of things you'll never hear a redneck say" which included, "you can't feed that to a dog!" I have seen my Southern family feed our dogs everything from homemade marshmallows to hot BBQ ribs--and Capn Crunch, too.

I'm not havin' any problem with blogger right now at all. Can comment, can see images...
303. Susie said:
Yea, maybe it's comcast trouble. I can't see Heather's pix anymore either. Everywhere I go, just words, no pix. I miss the pix.
304. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Jess, I want you to write "Hi Katie" on your ta-ta's. I feel left out. I'm hot, too! ;-)
305. POKEY said:
Just got caught up!
I can POLE the audience!
306. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Katie B-BAW,
Twirl your jugs
But do beware
The burn of rug.
307. LeafGirl77 said:
Can anyone see my link? I'm trying to set up a blog and clearly I am NOT up to the task.
Any suggestions from the gurus?
308. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
And once again, NO ONE KNOWS why Dooce turns her comments off. I think she does it to screw with our minds. She likes to fiddle with the heads of her lowly Doocelings. Heather has a sense of humor, and if anything is annoying, it is probably when people start fights over what other commenters are commenting about. If the topic gets too hot and heavy for me I just leave. Although I have never left yet.
309. The Muff said:
Jess, if i may ask...what's your story? I snuck a quick peek at your site...Bi? Straight? Just curious.
310. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Muff, I think Jess left, and I won't speak for her, but if you read a little farther, there are really no secrets there. :)
311. southern fried girl said:
Good God, I just checked out Jessica's site and my mouth dropped open. Why do my boobages not look like that?
312. Mr. Rogers said:
I know. She doesn't turn them off for the crude. She turns them off for the mean and nasty to one another.
Bandwidth, I have no idea about that. I do know the mean and nasty closes the gates.
Have a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
313. JessicaRabbit said:
Im bi, but I prefer girls. I have a boyfriend/fiance of almost 4 years. I used to be a stripper/bar manager. Now Im not.
I like hoots.
There are alot of super smart hot girls in here, and I like them. Sometimes, they like me too. It rocks.
That sums me up.
314. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
BFE I am laughing my ASS off. You need to do stand-up! And I really want to take on that moniker of Katie Masturbatie. I think it is quite fitting.
Devolution? Since when has dooce.com ever had clean and tasteful content?
Twirling my tits round and round right in the middle o' the office!
315. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
LadyBug, LadyBug
Fling your bra
And show the world
Your grand ta-tas.
Nilbo-dacious,
There you are
You almost missed
The flying bra(r)s
316. Spurious Plum said:
Bucky, you've managed to make squaredancing calling cool.
How do you do it?
317. LeafGirl77 said:
Hmmmm...time well wasted
318. Kristine said:
I put stat tracker on my blog. I have this one hit from: http://bathroomreadingblog.com/
I can't bring it up to see WHY someone came to my blog from there.
I'm so afraid.
319. southern fried girl said:
Blogger is pissing me right the fuck OFF.
OK, I am good now.
320. Val said:
MMMM Sake!
321. The Muff said:
Killjoy Asshole. Damn. NOW what am i going to name my religious order?
322. Nilbo said:
Hehehe Kristine ... you kidding me? This lightweight? Pfft. Not even the sack to be him/herself .... hides behind fake names.
I'll take the hug, of course .. anytime ... but this mosquito isn't much problem. Let it buzz.
323. greenthumb said:
Nilbo: you can be my hag anyday...or should that be, I'll be your hag? I only require 2.5% of your devotion.
324. Nilbo said:
Kristine ... you're thinking of Doug and Wendy Whiiiner ... who have diverticuliiiiiitis ...
I LOVED them!
And Muff ... I think something in the theme of "White Trash" would work ...
325. Kristine said:
Greenthumb...you're treading on my thin ice boy!
Does that yard have any color yet?
;)
326. Nilbo said:
Greenie .. I'd be honoured, either way.
... and I think we can squeeze out an extra 1/2 a percent ... let's shoot the moon!
327. The Muff said:
Good idea Nilbo! I can put living room furniture on the porch of the church. Get us a nice double wide, maybe some free-skirtin'.
328. Cristin said:
LadyBug said at 12:46PM, 05.02.2005:
Utter drivel.
Udder drivel.
Udder.
Heh.
Yep, I’m representin’ mah village, here.
they sell bag balm for that ladybug
329. greenthumb said:
Kristine: It's comin...really. The alliums are about to pop, plus, I posted my tulips yesterday. It's still cool up north gurl.
Nilbo: I'll take what I can get buddy. Now where did I put that gun?
330. Torrie said:
Nilbo, you two timer.
331. Kristine said:
Torrie, he's mine. I will cut you for him!
332. Nilbo said:
Girls, girls ... there's enough of me for everybody. I am, after all, the perfect man.
333. Holier than Thou said:
Nilbo- two-timer?
How 'bout the fact that he's married with children and spends half his life on here flirting with middle-aged blog hags.
334. Nilbo said:
I resent that. It's not half. More like 47%.
335. Kristine said:
whoa.
He's HAPPILY married with two BEAUTIFUL daughters who love him VERY much and yes, he does spend time on here with us hags...what's your point?
336. Kristine said:
Yeah, the other 3% is at my blog! (a girl could wish)
337. Nilbo said:
Sometimes people do pick the perfect nick for themselves. I guess "Killjoy Asshole" was taken.
338. Kristine said:
I thought after I wrote that maybe I was being a bit harsh and maybe this person was just using dry humor. I don't come here for long enough to know the good/bad people.
but, I see my instant knee jerk reaction could have been right.
*hug* for Nilbo. You getting picked on today?
339. Debbie Downer said:
Yes, Nilbo, Killjoy Asshole was taken which is why I've chosen this more-than-apropos moniker.
You people suck.
340. Ding! Ding! Ding! said:
Kristine, you nailed it!
Dry. Humor- the "monikers" should've clued everyone in.
Carry on.
341. Kristine said:
Debbie - Is that the woman from Saturday Night Live??
OMG, she was funny!!
Debbie, don't be a downer...if you managed to come up with a SNL reference you must be cool.
342. Susie said:
Oh, write "Hi, Susie" too. I'll put the pic in my Yellow Pages ad. Oh, wait, that would be false advertising, or something...
343. LadyBug said:
Jess, it sounds like you ought to auction off advertising space on your ta-tas. Try ebay.
344. The Muff said:
Come on. I don't wanna be left out! Write The Muff on your....
(Be prepared for comments comments comments)
345. LadyBug said:
I'm off to pick up the kiddos.
Play nice, everyone.
And by that I mean, don't do anything Bucky wouldn't do. *wink*
346. LeafGirl77 said:
Well, apparently it's up now. Behold...the first entry.
It's all over now kids.
347. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
And you know, LadyBug...that's a pretty short list.
I'm gawn gawn gawn too.
Make nice, stay lubricated, and don't take any wooden nipples.
348. Kristine said:
So Nilbo - You're trying out to be the next Icey Hot man huh?
Have you know, I posted that this morning, took a pain killer and passed out.
I might not be of any use to you ;)
349. southern fried girl said:
Muff, you are cruisin' woman. Cruisin' I tell ya.
Of course you will be very jealous to know that I am having hot dogs and mac and cheese for dinner. Try to top that in white trash-ville. Ain't gonna happen sistah!!! :)
350. coskel/whfropera said:
Is anyone still working? I'm stuck here until 7PM - ouch!
Nilbo - I get to program all the soundtracks for all of your wenches.
Muff - yep, shes a ho - for those of us who very likely aren't going to get the honor of sharing someone's name, she "done that guy wrong".
Back to our regularly scheduled programming, and just out of curiosity, since Liquidweb is getting so much advertising from being Dooce's hosting, did they cut you some slack price-wise? I sure hope so.
and yes, Blogger sucks big-time.
351. coskel/whfropera said:
SFG - cold as ice is clue-free: we all know that women in that 35-50 age range are at their sexual peak. PEAK. Um, yeah, I wish I could have sex, too. all this peaking wasted.
352. The Muff said:
SFG:
I don't know if I can top that. Mac and cheese...hmmm.
How bout elbow macaroni and tomato soup?
Annabelle:
They spent $100,000 looking for this confused wench. I say give each cop a Lenox Place setting, and each volunteer gets to pick a gift.
She's not to be pitied. She's been spoiled and privileged her WHOLE LIFE! Maybe it was the thought of marrying a medical administrative assistant (subterfuge for male secretary-no problem wit that, tho myself).
He probably wasn't "blue blood" enough for her.
Next time she "cries wolf", maybe noone will come. Or care.
353. southern fried girl said:
Cold as ice best be joking. No one middle aged or looking middle aged gets their name written on righteous boobages, ok? Back off.
354. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Too bad we can't see pictures of you, Cold As Ice. Are you sure your name isn't Ice Age? Because you certainly sound old and bitter.
355. southern fried girl said:
Katie,
56 minutes girl. I had no one to count down with last week. I was sad bear.
Note: I just sneezed so hard that my monitor is covered in the brain that flew out of my nostrils.
356. LeafGirl77 said:
That's quite the visual SFG. I like. My monitor got a similar treatment last week.
357. The Muff said:
Hey hags. I got nine minutes to go. How do you like me now?
358. southern fried girl said:
Muff,
Why did you have to go there? I so used to like you. ;)
359. Torrie said:
I love irony.
360. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Come here so I can smack you, Hag-Queen Muffy. I still have fifty minutes to go. I missed the countdown last week SFG. Actually, I take that back, because I had nothing to count down, because I was at home sleeping. Wish I was now!
361. The Muff said:
Just goin' with the flow, SFG. You know I don't mean any malcontent. I mean, you can always smack my bitch up. Um. 6 minutes. Suckah.
362. southern fried girl said:
Just wanted to let everyone know that it has been way too damn long since I have had sex. That could possibly explain my anger ridden posts a tad earlier.
363. Annabelle said:
Hey, I just checked out Jennifer Wilbanks (the runaway bride's) wedding registry. Pretty weird to look at it- she's done pretty well- those eight showers must have helped.
My feeling is that this poor woman and Especially the groom-to-be ought to be totally pitied. She obviously has some serious coping problems. I don't think any charges should be pressed- the officials in Albuqurque (which is actually the only place she commited a crime though she recanted after a few hourws) put it best when they pointed out that "we don't have to press charges. We're allowed to take a look at different situations."
364. kustoo said:
And I thought the picture was all about the painting of the woman holding the baby on the wall in the background.
Silly me!
365. Torrie said:
Excuse me, I am NOT middle aged.
I am a 28-year-old-blog-hag, thank you very much.
366. The Muff said:
Kustoo: wtf?
367. southern fried girl said:
Muff,
I am with you - if he marries that hag at ALL. That bitch needs smacked the fuck UP. I mean, what the fuck was she thinking? Not like she took off to get a nice piece of dick - which would have been totally acceptable. Cold feet my fuckin' ass.
368. The Muff said:
She needed to think it over....
Riiigghhhtttt.
I see she didn't have to think much about her wedding registry.
"Is it expensive? Okay. Put it on."
Again, THIS is why I'm having a nice,small affair, where NOONE can request "Will you be my hero, baby?"
369. southern fried girl said:
I mean, I totally get pre-wedding jitters. I mean, that is believeable. How do you let your family, friends and fiance think you might be dead though? And then to call NM police and claim kidnapping???? Once again,
SMACK DA BITCH UP.
370. kustoo said:
Muff,
If you look at the wall behind the fence, there is a painting of a woman holding a baby surrounded by a yellow haze.
371. cold-as-ice said:
Sorry Torrie, you just look middle-aged.
372. The Muff said:
Oh.Ok.
Thanks.
I'm terribly myopic.
In fact, if it was prehistoric cave-man days, something would have eaten me a long time ago.
Although, I wouldn't mind getting eaten once in a while.
373. Nilbo said:
Shall we start hazarding guesses, K?
And kids, that's how you deal with an ass troll. Treat them like the nits they are, brush them away, and they wander off to find someplace where people will get upset at what they say.
374. The Muff said:
Im reading on msn.com about the runaway bride.
Hmmm.
600 guests at 100 bucks a pop at the Athletic Club, over 10,000 clams worth of gifts. 8 count 'em, 8 bridal showers. FOURTEEN FUCKING BRIDESMAIDS AND FOURTEEN FUCKING USHERS. And the bitch splits.
Suddenly, i don't feel so bad about being hungover at my shower anymore.
And I have two words for the groom: Pre-Nup.
375. Nilbo said:
Don't mind me. I'm hidng under wtf Opera's desk. I hear it's a nice place.
And Torrie ... we should all look as middle-aged as you ...
376. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Her fiance actually still wants to marry the nasty bizzatch. He has to be as mentally ill as she is!
377. Vaida said:
Heez stoopid.
378. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
SFG, only TEN MORE MINUTES!
379. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
There is this attorney in my office that sounds like he constantly has phlegm stuck in his throat. Whenever he talks he sounds all gargly. I want to tell him to COUGH! Cough, you bastard, get the phlegm out of your throat!
And then there is the guy that farts constantly who sits right across from me. And I always hear porn music emanating from his office.
380. Vaida said:
Maybe he's got one of those secret walls that spin around with a round, vibrating bed and a disco ball hanging above it.
381. JessicaRabbit said:
My significant other is greatly amused.
382. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Maybe you're right, Vaida. Sometimes I swear I see flashing lights coming out of his office sometimes.
383. Vaida said:
(said like Quagmire from Family Guy) ALLLL-RIIIGHT!
384. southern fried girl said:
Prudes need to leave here if the conversation offends them so much. Last time I checked I was a grown woman and if I want some hot chick to write my name on her boobs, that is my right. Now I am outtie, so y'all have a great night.
385. Vaida said:
Flashing lights, ey? Second thought, perhaps he has found a way to control the time-space continum. The flashing lights are activated everytime he turns the damn thing on. The porn music is simply to distract you from knowing what is REALLY going on.
386. JessicaRabbit said:
Man I go get my neck popped and I miss requests for boobie name writing. I guess I know what Ill be doing with my time alone tonight! Crack out the fingerpaints! whooohooo
387. Nikki said:
I'm just curious...is this a spot for comments about the daily picture, or a chat room? The reason I ask is because I noticed there are times when Heather disables commenting, and I was wondering if maybe she gets a bit annoyed with all this...?
388. Anon said:
SFG,
what time is dinner?
389. JessicaRabbit said:
Its a little of both and she likes it that way, she has said that many times before, she enjoys the conversation within a concersation, and I am greatful for that!
390. JessicaRabbit said:
Someday when I grow up, I might learn to spell.
391. LeafGirl77 said:
But I like concersations!!!
I also am grateful for Heather's generosity!
392. Vaida said:
Someday, when I grow up, I'll have learned how to save money.
393. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Annabelle, I agree that the runaway bride has mental problems and needs to be pitied in some sense, but she caused a major upset in her hometown, and sidetracked the police from taking care of real crimes. It is disgusting, and she is a no good, spoiled bitch. I would like to take her new place settings and crystal and smash them over her head. I read that she left Albequerque with SOUVENIRS! She actually took the time to buy a freakin Alberquerque mug and tote bag. What a bitch! Her family thought she was dead, and then she has the gall to lie to authorities. I think she should get thrown in the slammer.
394. Kristine said:
jessica, IM me.
395. you'll call me a prude said:
I've wondered what the spouses or sig. others think- or would if they read this-of the sexual content of some of these comments? If I wouldn't say/do something in front of my husband, I sure wouldn't think it was OK because it was "just" online. And the pictures! Some modesty would be a good thing, cuz y'all are nasty.
396. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
BTW, where is she registered at? I am curious to see what kind of stuff she registered for. All I can say is, she BETTER give all that stuff back. With EIGHT wedding showers, she has a lot of people to return stuff to. What a greedy whore.
397. Vaida said:
The important things is, now her "fiance" WILL kill her.
HA HA HA
398. Merdog said:
Congratulations on Leta being willing to put weight on her legs! I know how much this worried you.
The tantrums are par for the course. My best pal has a little girl close to Leta's age, and the pattern is similar. I'm sure you'll find a way to teach her the word "Un-acceptable!"
Good Luck!
399. Kristine said:
Finally, a newsletter that made me laugh and not tear up!
Yay!
400. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Ohmigawd, the picture of Leta and Chuck together is in danger of making my heart feel dangerously close to...human.
Must dip self in battery acid, pronto.
401. Carol/p-t/ofl said:
Happy Mothering, Dooce. It's been a while, but I've been checking in on you, and you are doing a WONDERFUL job. As always, love the monthly letter to Leta. She is beautiful. Good luck to you and your wonderful family.
Love, Carol
402. MamaPajama said:
Has anyone clicked on the Cookie Dunker ad on the first page? It looks like one of the strange gadgets you get at a Tupperware party.
I'm thinking, you'll eat soggy cookies, and drink milk with chocolate crumbs in it, but yet you're worried about getting your fingers dirty.
Remind me NOT to have a relationship with a man who uses a cookie dunker.
403. Too Many Cats and But Not Enough Chocolate said:
Bet someone's making some nice money from their cookie dunker invention. Did you hear about the daughter-father team that invented the microwave bacon hanger? Walmart bought it and they made a heap of money.
404. molly said:
YAY MONTHLY UPDATE!!! Something to read while I take my take-home exam!!
(has it really been another month? Yikes!)
405. tIffany said:
Fucking gorgeous newsletter Heather. :-) Go Leta! Not with the tantrums though. Stop that.
406. Mr. Rogers said:
Oh, dear, I probably won't see you children tomorrow.
It REALLY is the mean and nasty that gets you locked out of the neighborhood.
407. beautiful face said:
To Anon,
To answer your voyeuristic question, updates in the morn. Hope there is something to update you about. There is that time on the back patio I haven't posted about (yet).
408. jennifer said:
kbbaw-who the hell are to to tell the runaway bride she needs to give all the gifts back? you can't do any better than a wetback fatass who hasn't married you & probably never will....sounds like sour grapes. not everyone here missed you while you were gone.why don't you just shut up & go pass another stone. or twelve.
409. Henryk_ said:
A very phallic pic today!
410. darren said:
........it's a fence. just a fence.
411. Susie said:
Hurray for Leta, the stand-up girl. She likes to open box flaps. Does she like lift-the-flap books yet? My kid loved those things at Leta's age. I also remember putting her in the bathtub, with water and toys, in the middle of the day, just because she was bored and I had done everything else I could think of. She loved the bath, it contained her, let me sit for a few minutes, and made her nap-ready, sometimes.
412. steph the bitch said:
see, heather, it just keeps getting better & better. and then adolescence will hit.......
413. m said:
What a nice letter, as usual. Go, Leta, go!
414. coskel/whfropera said:
i leave for 20 minutes to negotiate a contract and i come back to find Nilbo under my desk humming opera, Vaida decorating the place faux-70's style, and JessRabb bidding off the advertising space on her ta-tas? Oh wait, I made that last one up, but I'm thinking it might be a good idea.
and by the way, prude, most of us are just kidding - ya'll need to lighten up.
Katie - where are we on the countdown?
415. Vaida said:
On that note, I'm off for some beer to balance off the stress from my workday. Peace!
416. JessicaRabbit said:
Coskel, Im not biding it out, im totally giving it away for free. Ive had enough dollars stuffed in there over the years hahahaa.
Oh and Im so not kidding about the liking hot girls. Not one little bit.
So be careful ladies! hhaha :)
417. jelene said:
she is registered with macy's. i'd ever be so lucky if i got anything at my shot gun wedding. maybe a rusted out ice bucket to go in my double wide trailer.

420. TC said:
Like sands through the hourglass...so are the days of our lives.....
421. Kim in NJ said:
I don't know what's wrong with me. The newsletters to Leta make me rethink my position on having kids...for me the last "...but it's all still great!" paragraph never makes up for the horror of the previous paragraphs.
And it worries me...because I do want kids. At least I thought I did. Am I the only one?
Anyway, my hunch is that Dooce closes comments a few days or so before her monthly bandwidth billing period ends. The length of time she closes them correlates to how crazy y'all get with chatting here through the month.
422. Henryk_ said:
More wine? I'll drink to that offer!

425. angela said:
henryk, i'm having problems, and my baby's only just turning 7 months old. sometimes you get babies with a "little extra spirit." (in other words, they're buttholes more often than other people's kids seem to be.) so stop being annoying and judgemental. i already get enough of that when i go to target and my baby is honing is screaming skills.
426. me said:
As the mom of three, my suggestion to the Temper Tantrums from Hell are to simply ignore them. Really. Yes, even if it is in the most publicly embarassing place you can imagine. Do not give this gal any ammunition! ;) Trust me. Really.
(the joy of having more than one child is that you can do all your fuck ups on the first. Temper tantrums with the first were kid glove material, when the twins came it was 'yeah, ok... whatever'. There was no way the two of them could even hope to further embarass me in public, it had all been done before.)
Next time she blows up tell her 'Wow, pretty impressive" and move on!
427. Henryk_ said:
At 15 months and you are having troubles??!! *Please, please* don't be like (mature) parents I (all to often)see who are ruled by their immature children.
428. robyn said:
Henryk_, a 15-month old acting...gasp...immature? The devil you say!
Happy 15-months to our two little 02.03.04's!
429. mrtl said:
Great newsletter, Dooce, as always!
430. Dang Cold.. said:
month 15 already? man time flies. Like sands through the hour glass...
431. Henryk_ said:
robyn, yes, but then, perhaps it's the parents who are immature! Quite often well educated, but havn't been able to find a book that will guide them through these 'difficult' years. On more than one occassion, when seeing tantrums etc, wondering to myself...."who is the parent here and who is the child?" In some instances, emotionally, it can be hard to differentiate! (as I climb off my soap box )
432. Kaiasmom said:
Love the newsletter! Yaay Leta for standing up!!!
433. Spurious Plum said:
These love letters from Heather to Leta are one of the primary reasons I love Dooce.com so much. Well, that and the poop.
So wonderful.

436. Nikki said:
Don't worry about the walking thing. My son refused to take his first step until he was 20 months. There is an unspoken rule with babies and children....it has something to do with them doing everything EXCEPT what you'd like them to do....besides, that walking thing? It's not all it's cracked up to be...
:P
437. mom who's been there said:
Well I'm a sucker for Leta photos, Heather. The expressions you and Jon have captured on her face are priceless.
Trust me, by the time she's 15, she'd kill you before she'd let you post all about her in your blog :) Enjoy these years because they go by too fast, if you blink, they'll be gone in a heartbeat.
438. LisaLisa said:
420 posts. Stony, man.
439. DeAnn said:
I cannot believe Leta is so old!! She's growing like a weed (I know, I know. I sound like a grandma. I'm not.)
And about the beagle: I have one and they WILL and DO eat everything. You don't have to bathe them very often, though. They're kind of self-cleaning. And I once took mine (he's six months old) for a five-mile walk on accident. Yes, accident. I got lost. In. My. Neighborhood. I'm a moron. But my dog didn't die. He was VERY tired, though.

interesting POV
442. Nikki said:
I probably shouldn't admit to this, but...when my kids have temper tantrums, well the little one, sometimes I cover my face with my hands and pretend THEY have made ME cry. It's not something you're likely to read in any books...but it works. ha.

Henryk is such a stellar parental example. We should all be more like him. And our kids should be more like his kids.

Nikki - that's brilliant. Does it work on cats?
Dooce - lovely newsletter once again. She is so lucky to have a mom who keeps up the 'baby book'.

I missed all the wine-drinking last night? damn.
450. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Coskel, it's too early for wine.
...now, if we're talkin' _tequila_ then pull up a breakfast bowl.
Is that the worm, or are you just happy to see me?
451. Mr. Ee said:
Un viaje la foto, che.
452. kimmieindallas said:
OMG there is a dooce forum? when did that start? see what I miss by spending time doing work instead of reading the comments!!!

Happy 15 mo. Leta. I think I see a pointy chin emerging... Heather if you have any cassette tape boxes,a big stack is guaranteed to entertain for at least 5 minutes!
454. coskel/whfropera said:
Bucky, I don't know if I can start my day talking about the worm I'm not currently getting! Tequila or...well, um, yeah, that kind.
LOL, I'm always happy to see you - what I was NOT happy to see was this crappy gray sky and cold temps, so I'm going to broadcast warm, funny happy circus comedy opera today for all my poor Michigan listeners.
455. The Muff said:
Good Morning!
Newsletter 15 has me in tears, as usual.
My boss must think I'm a freak.
Of course, you guys KNOW i'm a freak.
456. greenthumb said:
coskel, there is still half a glass of Shiraz left from last night.
*yawn*
Morning Ms. Bucky(smooch)
457. Nilbo said:
Warm and sunny here, wtf .. so bring on the circus ... you'll be able to find me .. I'll be under your desk ...
458. Amber said:
Heather, that was such a sweet letter!
459. Susie said:
greenie, how 'bout pouring that shiraz in my green tea here?
460. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
"Shiraz"...?
Is that what the kids are callin' it now?
Oooh, you got "Shiraz" in my hair!
Wow, that's a lotta "Shiraz" Greenie.
Monica shoulda washed that "Shiraz" off her blue dress.

I am at work again. 9:15 a.m. Today life sucks and so does this shit job.
462. The Muff said:
Someone pissed in Vaida's orange juice today. Good morning, dear.
I'm just lurkin', waiting for the new photo.
And Comment 412. Wonderfully put. That's the way it should be.

It is SO exciting to see the pictures of Leta - especially the last one where she is standing on her own two little legs. She is THIS close to walking, and boy will Heather be regretful that she ever prayed long and hard for Leta to walk. I remember when little Patrick started walking - he was nine months old. Early walking just may be a bigger curse than late walking. And he never walked - he ran. God Bless Heather and Jon.
464. Marly said:
Lovely.
You are amazing and honest and real.
thank you
465. k rain said:
Oh, the monthly newsletters to Leta always make me happy. I'm so going to enjoy torturing my offspring with tales of their youth.
466. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Muffy, when are you going to start your blog? I cannot wait any longer. I am sure it is going to be absolutely hilarious.
467. naralius said:
Im waiting for muffy's blog too, I check everyday and get really disapointed you make me laugh
468. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
You get disappointed that Muffy makes you laugh? Or you get disappointed that she doesn't have a blog? ;-)

This article just proves that people in PA (my home state) are weird. And fat.

katie:
My boss is on one of his "errands", whatever that means.
Which means for me, time to double-dip and do this document I promised the attorney i work part time for, that I'd have it done by tonight. It's not done.
Oh, and no, not all the thank you's are out. But this whole runaway bride thing really puts me in a good light. I was just a little nauseous at my bridal shower. It's not like I didn't show up or anything. Thanks Jennifer Wilbanks. Your irreverent and reckless behavior saved my relationship with my Mom!
Oh, and Katie, yea, the blog. After the wedding. I promise. We're trying to do the online business thing anyway. We got a dummy book on it and everything.
After the wedding. Two weeks tomorrow kiddos.
471. The Muff said:
Katie: Just because I live in NEPA doesnt mean I drink the water. I'm 5'2 and a buck twenty, dripping wet.
I have a foot long occasionally. I don't live at the place. Come on. Now, if there's anythign that's gonna get my ass hanging out of my gown, it's these damn Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies 2 fer 5 bucks at the dollar store.
Yup. He's waking up with brownie on his butt.
472. Mary said:
oh comments are still open
Heather I was very touch by your monthly newsletter. Leta is more and more beautiful every day and the agony she puts you through brings you closer together.
Someday she will read that and yes she will be embarrassed but she will see that no matter what hell she was your love was never ending.
And that will make her go "Aww you sweet grouchy old lady."

Good morning all. Thought seriously about coming down with a serious illness this morning but I gave in and came to work. Damn it.
474. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
I hear ya', Muff. I just thought that story was hysterical. Can you imagine someone eating a 15 pound burger? I also was never fat - 5'11" and 120 lbs. despite living in the pierogie and pastie (I mean the meat and cheese thing, not the nipple garment) capitol of the U.S. I think it is funny, though, that the one person that ate that monstrosity of a burger was 100 pounds. And a girl. I ate fifty hot wings in college once. I was really drunk.
475. The Muff said:
Katie. I'm down to 1 box of peeps. In my desk drawer. They're purple. When is the next peep holiday? I gotta go on the Just Born site. For answers I need to have. Must. Find. More. Peeps.
476. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
I would assume that the next peep holiday is Halloween. They have Peep pumpkins and ghosts. ah... peeps. I WANT PEEPS.
