I wonder if you could use a period cup to treat a verruca?

oh, btw, most effective is to put duct tape on 'em. they need air. no air, they die. we combine the acid and duct tape very effectively for the sprogs' footal afflictions.

Wait till we get to the part about the pus

Mine always hurt terribly, but that's okay because after I figured out what they were, now I can tell one is developing before it's even truly a wart. I have to get my foot all the way up in my face to see the tiny little circle so I know where to put the salicylic acid dot. It kills the skin down to maybe a millimeter below the surface, and I can pick the whole thing off.

Then another one shows up 3 weeks later. They're worse in the spring, but I don't know if that's because the virus (it's a virus, right?) thrives better in the spring, or just because I'm more likely to go outside barefoot in the spring.

It's a virus.

I used to have warts growing up. My dad always had liquid nitrogen around his lab, so we'd go up there and dip q-tips in the liquid nitrogen and then hold them against the warts. It was fun watching the skin freeze.

After I moved away, I'd invert a can of Dust Off and freeze the warts by spraying 'em with that. I seem to have outgrown warts. I have a couple tiny bumps where warts used to be, but I don't get big ones.

Like herpes?

Does anyone have any secrets involving, like, buttered popcorn or rainbows or puppies or sumpin'?

;)

Oh sure, we always rubbed Orville Redenbacher's popcorn on new born puppies and put them in the microwave to see what would pop first! And if you looked inside when the puppies popped they looked just like RAINBOWS! It was awesome!.....

Great.

Now I'm hungry.

Gives a new meaning to 'puppy chow'...

Here's one about puppies.

My parents used to breed hunting dogs when I was kid. It was nothing for there to be up to 30 puppies in the yard at times.

Just so no one gets any puppy farm fantasies going, we had half an acre yard and the dogs and pups had free reign. They were always fat and had lots of love. Mainly from me, but Mum used to spend a lot of time with them too.

Awwwwwwwwwwww. I love the way puppies play vigorously and then in the space of a second go to sleep with no inbetween stage.

But that's not a secret. ;)

Maternity Wear.

The file is way too big, but it does show the detail of the skirt which I really like. Unfortunately, this particular brand is no more. The waist line dips to accommodate stomach or lack thereof. With a shirt that covers the waistline, no-one would ever be able to tell the difference.

I've got a closeup of the waistband but need to make the image smaller...haven't quite managed that yet. Soon, very soon.

Are you expecting?

No, the post was the result of something that MTP posted about maternity wear....in short, a lot of the stuff that is made now will accommodate anyone. The reason I have a couple of pieces is a friend's mother in law had a label so when they brought out a new range, the friend would let people know. She was a brilliant clothing selector so would select pieces that suited and quite often there would be a discount to go with it. I adore this skirt and when it wears out will probably have a copy made. Unless you look at the waistband, you would never know.

I also have a coat from the same label which evokes similar feelings (i.e. a perfect piece of clothing). Unfortunately, it's back in Oz in a box in the shed though as I didn't think I would have any cause to make use of it in the tropics.

I went to middle school with "Ke$ha".

Barf.

:vomit:

Maybe if I had a friend somehow involved I'd be brave enough to go. Regular shopping is a harrowing experience enough without a stranger helping me. Those maternity shops tend to be small, too intimate, I'm afraid the staff would be stalking me if I turned down their help.

There's always places like Babies 'R Us or Target (not all Targets carry maternity wear, but the big ones do.) Another place to go is kids' clothing resale stores. Most of them have a maternity section as well.

I will second the notion that good maternity pants are so comfortable, though I found that a lot of them didn't stay up on my hips very well.

I'm still wearing stuff that I bought from maternity shops and it's been two years since Max was born. They are just so comfortable, and still look good.

If you're embarrassed about going to a maternity shop, just lie and tell them you're only a few months in. Otherwise yeah, go to any major department store and they should have a maternity section.

if he used the rubber boots then they can't get away! or use the cliff method too. that works just as well!

My secret?
i really, really hate Behind Blue Eyes.

it's just... whiney shit on par with Wonderwall or the like. Nobody knows what it's like? fuck you, sure they do.

Agree... a moment of thought about it, and it seems like the singer is simply a dick. And by the end of the song he's making demands. I thought you blamed ME for your sorry feelings. Get your own coat, you dick.

I'm changing the Cellar tag line.

To a line from Wonderwall? :p:

separated at birth? The one on the right.

Bloody hell. You're not wrong mate.

I have that album. Lordy..

Sigh... someday....

2of5 dated my mother years ago. Now I am married to him. Momma had a fit when we started dating but everything is ok now

so.. this whole ... of 5 business.


elucidate?

My uncle (on my mother's side) is also my second cousin (on my father's side).

i can turn my legs around backwards. at the knees.

:confused: :3_eyes: pix!

I had a verruca.
It was treated at school in those days. The chiropodist came round weekly.
I was gutted that the one lesson it took me out of was English Lit. Why not Maths or Geography?!

I had to ask him to stop telling me what he was doing.
He was trying to reassure me, but as soon as I saw the scalpel I felt like retching. I was a delicate flower in those days. Matron spent half the appointments worried I was going to faint.

Four years later and my brother had to go to an evening clinic for his.
Guess it wasn't cost effective.

Talking secrets - although I may have said this before - I once stuck a love-rival's ring (jewellery) up my arse (ring). And the handle of her hairbrush. I laughed for ages about whether she would wonder what the faint whiff was. Served her right for leaving them in his bedroom.

:lol: I'm sat in the entrance hall at school hawking scrip and reading the cellar between sales. I'm not reading some stuff, just in case. I think I shouldn't have read that. I snorted so loudly and it was just when the there was a lull in the talking from the group working on anatomy right near me. My belly's still jiggling with the aftershocks

"Will snorted again. He had intended to keep his thoughts to himself throughout
this conversation, but they kept escaping through his nose."

I like that

One time, instead of killing the hobo, I bought him a cheeseburger.

He smelled, but I felt sorry for him.

I was a waitress at IHOP at the time and I was feeling the need for redemption of some sort.

Check: non-hostile comment.

So many quotable quotes in this book-if I had my copy on hand, I quote a larger portion of it to give the full context. My favourite one is "he knew it, but he couldn't feel it" in reference to Will having to sit through Marcus and his mother singing killing me softly and wishing desperately it would end.

I believe Gravdigr has a crush on Monster. He has problems expressing his emotions it matters pertaining to her

shhhh... it's a dwellar seekrit...

:lol: someone should tell him I respond well to being called monnie and being treated like a laydeeeeee ;)

So like Monnie and Gravdigr have a love child? Is she Pensive Pam?

I've read great things about Monster's children.
Only one is female and nothing I've read suggests she is a deaf Eastern European bisexual stalker with an alcohol problem.

Still, I've been wrong before.

Well... she does say "pasta" as if it rhymes with "master." But that's probably just shoddy upbringing. ;)

Has monster given us a voice sample like Sundae girl has? When I read her posts, in my mind, I don't hear a british accent.

WTF? Monster & Gravdigr are together? I go away for just a bit and see what happens. It's a sign of the apocalypse

monster has a beautiful british accent!

VOICE SAMPLE!

I did post something about how to say roof. But I hate the sound of my voice recorded. And I hate video of me even more.

Dana says pasta to rhyme with master.
I don't :) We've had this before - depends how you say master!
I say pass-ta and mars-ter.

This evening, I promise, I will resurrect the wishlist of spoken word requests, and put it on YouTube. As I remember, there were lots of rudies on there, so I have to wait til the 'rents are firmly ensconced in Coronation Street.

But the post made me laugh for naughtier reasons. Clod, your truncated quote made it look like I called PP A Deaf. Like A Gay, or An Eppie. Can I carry on calling her a deaf? Given that I only believe one word in twenty she posts and those are usually connectives...?

a deaf? lol


I can't remember how Monster sounded. I wuold like to hear if there's any hint of Manc :p

Mine was never really true Manc, it was more Bolton, which has slightly more of a brogue to it. Though...I do sometimes slip into Manc (the accent of my older cousins when growing up and therefore intrinsically 'cool' ;p) if I am excited about something. I suspect now it's all got a little mingled in with Yorkshire as I am surrounded by that.

I don't think I have a very strong accent. At least not all the time. It waxes and wanes depending on mood and company.

What I absolutely do not have, however, is a beautiful, sexy, purring voice like Sundae :p I think that pretty much requires southern vowels *smiles* Along with the super-sexy purring vocal chords gene of course :P

i like to sleep nude

Is that a statement Sarge, or a request for SG to say that in her sexxy voice?

that got me to thinking. are there laws against international phone sex? not that i ever would indulge in such. imagine being tried in the hague for jerking off while listening to a brit say naughty things.

hawtest courtroom transcription ever

Sarge: nope, no laws against it at all. And I would know.
