If you only knew...LOL
BTW, it's gonna be a cold day in hell before I ever get on IH35 again! I'm still having nightmares about that drive.
Oh, that's much better than the radio link.
So funny...Hubby walked in while I was playing it and he remembered the commercial. LOL Geez, I'd never heard of it before.
You ever tasted the candy? What was it like?
Here's some examples from Schulman's best-selling textbook, Switched-On Hebronics:
Question: 'What time is it?'
English answer: 'Sorry, I don't know.'
Hebronic response: 'What am I, a clock?'
Remark: 'I hope things turn out okay.'
English answer: 'Thanks.'
Hebronic response: 'I should be so lucky!'
Remark: 'Hurry up Dinner's ready.'
English answer: 'Be right there.'
Hebronic response: 'Alright already, I'm coming.
What's with the 'hurry' business? Is there a fire?'
Remark: 'I like the tie you gave me; I wear it all the time.'
English answer: 'Glad you like it.'
Hebronic response: 'So what's the matter; you don't like the other ties I gave you?'
Remark: 'Sarah and I are engaged.'
English answer: 'Congratulations!'
Hebronic response: 'She could stand to lose a few pounds.'
Question: 'Would you like to go riding with us?'
English answer: 'Just say when.'
Hebronic response: 'Riding, shmiding! Do I look like a cowboy?'
To the guest of honor at a birthday party:
English answer: 'Happy birthday.'
Hebronic response: 'A year smarter you should become.'
Remark: 'It's a beautiful day.'
English answer: 'Sure is.'
Hebronic response: 'So the sun is out; what else is new?'
Answering a phone call from a son:
English answer: 'It's been a while since you called.'
Hebronic response: 'You didn't wonder if I'm dead already?'
What a memory you have! Hope this works...
Edit: It didn't. Let's try this:

I trained my cat to be just like me. LOL
Did you know the New York City Public Schools have officially declared Jewish English, now dubbed Hebronics, as a second language. Backers of the move say the city schools are the first in the nation to recognize Hebronics as a valid language and a significant attribute of American culture.
According to Howard Ashland, linguistics professor at Brooklyn College and renowned Hebronics scholar, the sentence structure of Hebronics derives from middle and eastern European language patterns, as well as Yiddish.
Professor Schulman explains, 'In Hebronics, the response to any question is usually another question with a complaint that is either implied or stated. Thus 'How are you?' may be answered, 'How should I be, with my bad feet?'
Schulman says that Hebronics is a superb linguistic vehicle for expressing sarcasm or skepticism. An example is the repetition of a word with 'sh' or 'shm' at the beginning: 'Mountains, shmountains. Stay away. You should want a nosebleed?'
Another Hebronics pattern is moving the subject of a sentence to the end, with its pronoun at the beginning: 'It's beautiful, that dress.'
Schulman says one also sees the Hebronics verb moved to the end of the sentence. Thus the response to a remark such as 'He's slow as a turtle,' could be: 'Turtle, shmurtle! Like a fly in Vaseline he walks.'
(stay tuned...more to come)
The gummy savers or the soft and chewies?
Tell you what...next time I get my knitting out I'll make you a pair of mittens.
(Don't hold your breath though) LOL
It's kinda drizzly and cold here too but I don't have to go anywhere so am staying warm.
Great post (article), Investorman!
Thank you!
Say what, Nitwit?
Are you saying $1.10 is your cost basis for C? Mine is $1.25... :(
Warming your hands in the microwave, eh? LOLOLOL
Seriously, we apparently have the same weather conditions as you do, Walk...
Oh Geez...thanks a lot. You'll ruin my image permanently you know.
I LOL'd too!
(Wish I could get the one of the cat watching the squirrel dance in a bikini for a new siggy...that's truly funny.)
I'm the idiot who can't reconcile her bank statement ...guess all my smarts have gone by the wayside today.
Seriously, I finally did it but it took me at least 45 minutes instead of the usual five. Made too many mistakes, it seems.
...gasp
Can't believe I admitted I'm not perfect. LOL
I agree our climate is becoming more and more weird, Mariner...but, it seems there's no sure way to prove that the planet is getting warmer or colder.
I'm all for having more scientific and environmental research, but I'd like to have facts, not speculation.
Next time try cooking the noodles just a few minutes...again, depends on the width. The thinner the noodle the less you cook them.
LOL Good one, Ronaldo....
(Gonna have to steal it for one of my Irish friends if you don't mind)
Hmmmmm... a Ménage à quatre?
Nah, I don't think so.
(Don't get enuff energy from that candy bar.) LOL
Hey mister... do I know you??
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! After hearing that my gambling itch just increased, Lacy.
We have reservations for Valentine's Day but since that's two weeks away don't know if I can stand waiting that long.
I hate to admit this but I can't figure out the best way to play pennies. I've only tried it a couple of times and have never done well.
Anyway, congrats on being a winner!
I think I know what went wrong, Walk... you said you added the noodles the last fifteen or twenty minutes (the first time you made the stew)... and they tasted fine. That surprises me actually as one should only cook noodles prox 7 minutes or so...depending on the thickness.
How long did you cook them the second time around??
Oops, I forgot you didn't like dumplings, Larry.
I don't understand that but am guessing you've probably never had the good kind (like I make). LOL A lot of people will use canned biscuit dough, for example...when they make chicken and dumplings, which I think is close to a mortal sin.
Anyway, I ended up using noodles in my soup and it was delicious.
(Belated good morning!)
I admit it did sound suspicious but haven't you ever talked to some customer service people whose responses are sometimes almost as inane as that was?
One of my nieces in particular could have been that first person... LOL
Already been there (at Christmas).
No snow this time though...shoulda gone somewhere else...anywhere actually as every other State has had snow this year. Even Texas... LOL
All is well here, Mickey.
It's cold here today, Mr. Larry... am making a big pot of chicken soup but can't decide if I should put noodles in it or dumplets (small dumplings).
Whatcha thinky?
Oh darn... and it sounded so real too...
LOL
Careful...
Don't go near this pissed off cat!

Hah! Why am I not surprised?
Hey Mn...what's going on in your neck of the woods? You getting as much snow as the Dakotas??
I can't make up my mind between Mr. Goodbar and Henry... decisions, decisions
Wow! 50 years!!! That's wonderful, Mickey...a great big hearty CONGRATS to you and Alice.
It's global warming, Mariner...
hehehehehehehe
(It snowed in Sacramento this past week too.)
Methinks we could use a little levity on this board, no? Received the following from a friend...
Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die.
This is so priceless, and so, so easy to see happening, customer service being what it is today.
A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00 when she died, but now somewhere around $60.00. A family member placed a call to Citibank.
Here is the exchange :
Family Member: 'I am calling to tell you she died back in January.'
Citibank: 'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.'
Family Member: 'Maybe, you should turn it over to collections.'
Citibank: 'Since it is two months past due, it already has been.'
Family Member: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?'
Citibank: 'Either report her account to frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!'
Family Member: 'Do you think God will be mad at her?'
Citibank: 'Excuse me?'
Family Member: 'Did you just get what I was telling you - the part about her being dead?'
Citibank: 'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.'
Supervisor gets on the phone:
Family Member: 'I'm calling to tell you, she died back in January with a $0 balance.'
Citibank: 'The account was never closed and late fees and charges still apply.'
Family Member: 'You mean you want to collect from her estate?'
Citibank: (Stammer) 'Are you her lawyer?'
Family Member: 'No, I'm her great nephew.' (Lawyer info was given)
Citibank: 'Could you fax us a certificate of death?'
Family Member: 'Sure.' (Fax number was given )
After they get the fax :
Citibank: 'Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't know what more I can do to help.'
Family Member: 'Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. She won't care.'
Citibank: 'Well, the late fees and charges will still apply.'
(What is wrong with these people?!?)
Family Member: 'Would you like her new billing address?'
Citibank: 'That might help...'
Family Member: ' Odessa Memorial Cemetery , Highway 129, Plot Number 69.'
Citibank: 'Sir, that's a cemetery!'
Family Member: 'And what do you do with dead people on your planet???'
Glad to have you back, Sir!
Awesome! How in the world can anybody not love cats/dogs?
Another great video! Thanks, Walk...
I've used a couple of those cuties in my siggies in the past. I read somewhere that animal videos are the most watched on U-Tube...it's easy to see why.
Burp!
That's the one, Lacy! Thanks so much...had to "sticky" it as I think it's one of the funniest videos I've ever watched.
And thanks to Larry too!
