    Do it like this: 'My god, Betty, you look gorgeous. You are giving total vagina face.'

    Hope DP is reading! :)

    Bahaha, I am already the "City Girl" who doesn't bake, brings TimTams to meetings and has tomatoes that are not up to scratch yet! Do you want me run out of town?

    Yes!

    You have girls here who would love to have one of your Tim Tams at a meeting.

    Yay Wren!!

    Oh hell yeah, I'd take Tim Tams over home baked goods any day of the week :)

    What's wrong with your tomatoes?

    And that folks is the V word I knew she'd come up with.... I'm laughing over M in her Marika outfit, telling Betty at the opp shop as politely as you please that she has a lovely vagina face :)

    Oh how I wish I was giving vagina face at the moment. At the moment I am giving old hag face.

    L, what's on the coffee table?

    Thanks for the updates Z. Sending positive, healing vibes to our DP girl. I find myself thinking about her all the time.

    I will never use the phrase 'vagina face'! Only a twisted mind would even consider putting those 2 words together in a sentence. Bobo = twisted mind!

    Wren - congrats on the all clear mammo. I am thinking of going back to a yearly schedule and skipping mine in March.

    Ideism - I hope you are resting from all that snow shoveling! I've looked at the pictures and mountains of snow..unreal, and quite frankly... disgusting! Enough is enough. And you girls from Florida should repent for posting those beautiful, 'warm' no snow pictures! Have a heart, will ya? :)

    PRB, I am not the inventor of the phrase 'vagina face.' In fact, Bevy Smith herself is probably not the inventor. However... here is Bevy!

    Haha.. "dewy and fresh, just like a vagina should be!"

    Maybe Trixie's is dewy and fresh, but for the most part, .. um NO, NO, NO.

    If this were the gong show, you would be gonged! **GONG**

    Wren:  congrats on great mammo report!  YAY!

    coconut ice cream:  excellent.  Also found Kale veggie burgers. OMG, they are soooo good. I will be eating more veggies now.  Bobo will be thrilled that I have GREENS in my diet.

    Thinking of you DP,, and Bond!  ((hugs))  hope pain is under control and they are treating you well.

    I do not have vaginal face as I am all natural and no make up at all.   I don't think I could use that term in a conversation.

    I can't get that vid to play on my laptop, will try later. Sorry Bobo, but if you aren't giving fresh Vagina face and you say you have old hag face today, put a hydrating mask on girl! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's where all fresh vagina faces eventually end up, old hag, vagina face!LOL

    ldesim, I chose to go with a heritage tomato, in my veggie patch. It isn't anywhere near as prolific, big, red or showy as the common garden variety tomatoes, but it tastes divine. When the girls have been at my place, they took one look at my tomatoes and gave me a tsk tsk and pittying looks. I don't care, I love my tomatoes and they love all my other herbs and fruit!

    Ooh! Much-needed doggie porn!

    Note the baby is covered up.

    M, you will be giving those ladies fresh vagina face the next time they come to look at your smallish tomatoes. Your comeback: 'YOU are a smallish tomato.'

    I used that once on a dicktor, talking to a resident about our princess. He was commenting as he examined her. She was six months old. He said, 'evidence of hirsutism' (meaning our baby is hairier than normal. So what?)

    And I said to him, 'I can hear you. YOU'RE a hirsute!' Fucking dicktors.

    Oh Bobo, you and I would have made a formidable duo, talking back to stupid Dicktors. I have had my fill of their blinkered views and ridiculous observations, over the years, with Bec and with both my Parents. My Mother was of the ilk, where the Doctor, hell even the Nurse, was God and had to be obeyed without question. I never subscribed to that nonsense. I know when to STFU, and I appreciate a good Doctor, but in my experience, they are few and far between.

    Can't you sleep in between the dogs?  I love that quilt,, very pretty.

    Spooks,, are you saying that I shouldn't have the EMG??  Be blunt,, I can take it!  I'm hoping to avoid the LE arm if I must do it.

    Damn dicktors!!! How dare he say that about our Princess???

    yes Glennie! When the cast came off in Nov the dip shit PA wanted to do an EMG. He had no clue what LE was, or what could happen to me. I've had cellulitis in my LE arm once. No fun!

    The only way I would remotely consider doing it would be in an OR with regular sterile OR procedures in place

    I know they hurt,, I've had 3 of them.   But in the past, all my symptoms have been in the right hand.  Now I'm having numbness/tingling in left thumb too.  And right side is much worse. Not happy at all. It is much worse in the morning,,,, I must sleep wrong, but I have been trying different pillows, etc, and have not made any progress. You would think after 8 hours on the computer (like now), it would be worse.  Nope,, it's better.  Go figure.

    Thanks Z, for the update. I hope she knows we are thinking of her.

    Awww Sgc, there's not much room left is there? Lol They certainly are not mini dogs.

    Vagina face, nope I don't think I could put that in a sentence either! A friend yesterday used the phrase/name " shit lips". Eeewwww, I nearly spat out my drink, then I could have called my friend, coffee face.

    I think I have a thing about mixing vegetables with sweet things. I have a beetroot and chocolate cake recipe, but I can't get my head around making it. Same with green foods, such as kale and spinach in a drink, I get the health benefits, but can't do it. With just have to eat the green stuff separately.

    Just back from allergist with DS. He is still allergic to eggs, peanuts and dust mites, cats, and every grass known to man. Doc wants him to try immunotherapy for the hay fever ones, which involves drops under the tongue every morning for three years. Geez, three years, but it would be so good for him to be not sneezing and blowing his nose every five minutes. Also believes there will be a cure for peanut allergies in a few years, hurry up already, I fear for them when they are out of my sight.

    PRB, I am glad your DD had a good time at camp. Xx

    Dawny,, I had SHOTS for years,,,, drops under the tongue would have been nice.  And a cure for peanut allergies would be amazing. That is Nobel Prize material.

    What's an emg? And Spookie, is your wrist as good as new, or do you have problems now?

    Z, the hidden veggies in the savoury scrolls, are finely grated zucchini and carrot, the cheese on top disguises them.

    For the lunchbox snacks, I use a combination of glass/plastic containers with baking paper, and also zip lock bags. I need a freezer clean out though, I also have fesh raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and mango in there for smoothies or sorbets. And homemade pizza sauce, from bacon and cheese for rolls, etc etc, it is hard to keep it all organised, especially when the kids hunt around for things

    Glennie, did the shots work for you at all? I did that for a while too, but it didn't seem to be helping and it was a three hour round trip, so gave it up. For hay fever allergies that is, not food allergies. Doc also wants him to do a baked egg challenge, but DS not keen on that idea

    the shots did work for me for hay fever allergies,, the pollen ones! UGH on a 3 hour round trip though,,,, if the drops will help, I say go for it.

    EMG is electromyography,,, a nerve conduction test.  It involves sticking needles in point A and point B and running electric current between them. Hurts like shit. Supposed to tell the dicktors where the nerve is being compressed.

    Some can tolerate baked eggs,, like baked in cake,, where cannot tolerate eating scrambled eggs, etc,,, but I can understand his reluctance to try!!
