Beware the Lortab.
I will not be on too much today. i got a wii. And I have a 5 page essay to write.
The best part is that I have a lot to write about. So I should be able to get in the 5 pages and have stuff left.

Czech this out but prepare to be upset.
A Kilt wedding and the Kilties weren't invited. :(

I just read the article. Here's a summary:

I was wondering why you weren't there, Cookie! I'll have to speak with them about it.

Do you mean that y-, no, I can't even say it!!!

Well that must have been an awesome surprise. Seeing so many rich people in kilts.
Was there a giant robot?
Posted by: Alfred | January 28, 2007 at 12:31 AM
The giant robot came with the cow. I was amazed at how well they danced together.

Good morning, Kilties!
Beautiful day here. Blue skies, no winds, cold enough to skate outside. Who's coming over?

GOOD MORNING to all Kilties, except Blue, who went to the wedding and did not take me as his date. :(
Did anyone else notice that the Times did NOT tell their ages, except for saying the Warner "kid" was in his 40s? Wedding stories in the Times always tell ages, it's part of the story. But I guess if you're a Mellon, you can dictate what they say about you. :)

Posted by: neophyte | January 28, 2007 at 02:53 PM
i'm just bad at gauging ages, too... the article does say mr.warner iv is 44, but nothing about her age. it does have her say something about "it was wonderful to meet someone like that , especially at our age" which would imply rough equality but she could still be younger and being diplomatic about it.
how long before the pitter-patter of little "warner v's"?

Wow, Giant robots and cows dancing hand to hand. I thought I would never see the day that horrible grudge match would end.

What's wrong?
Posted by: Bumble | January 28, 2007 at 11:53 PM
Really painful ear infection. They gave me heavy antibiotics and Lortabs for the pain. Even Lortabs don't totally kill it all though.
Check it out; in the ER on Thursday night, Friday through Tuesday I have to work. Friday and Saturday were overnights.
Posted by: Adonis | January 28, 2007 at 11:59 PM
How awful. I hope it clears up soon.
Posted by: Bumble | January 29, 2007 at 12:02 AM
*sigh* Doggone it, I fight it and I fight it, but the mothering instinct will NOT be suppressed. Ado, try a hot water bottle or a heating pad on the ear; sometimes heat helps.
If the ear drum is not perforated, sometimes you can get a doctor to give you an oil that has a numbing agent in it; you warm it up and put a few drops in. The numbing agent is quite effective, but the oil itself helps, too; an old wives remedy used to be to heat olive oil and put a few drops in the ear.
However, I guess it is a real mess to see through when you go to the doctor and they try to look at the ear drum, so only use oil if your doctor recommends it.
I hope the antibiotics kick in soon. Ear aches bite. And not in a good way.
*smooches Adonis in a motherly way*
Posted by: neophyte | January 29, 2007 at 01:21 AM
Ado- I know what you are going through. Because of some really bad times on my mission, I ended up with a really crappy right ear. I have to be so careful around the cold now.

GOOD MORNING KILTIES!
I'm sorry that Adonis has an ear ache. I've never had one,knock wood, but I hear they hurt a lot.
But if it was my article that he called "drivel", my feelings are hurt.

Posted by: Cookie | January 29, 2007 at 11:06 AM
Cookie, please let me know if this works.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 29, 2007 at 11:39 AM
Is that an audio link, Blue? If so, I have to wait about a half hour to open it.
Posted by: Cookie | January 29, 2007 at 12:30 PM
El~ It was some kind of natural remedy labeled "composure."
Posted by: Bumble | January 29, 2007 at 12:40 PM
Thanks, B
I opened it and it's just what I need.
Thanks, Blue...:)
Posted by: Cookie | January 29, 2007 at 12:47 PM
Apparently audio links are like swimming....you have to wait half an hour to open them after brushing your teeth?
I, too, have never had an earache or ear infection...though I have enough of a hearing loss in my left ear that I have to watch movies with the subtitles on, 'cuz I have a hard time hearing the dialogue through the music and other background noises.
*wonders if Blue is still waiting patiently for his pervie joke about open kilts*
Posted by: sharon share-alike | January 29, 2007 at 02:00 PM
you can get "composure" in a pill?
wow, who knew?
i mean, i've had hyper in a pill, mellow in a pill, it still hurts but i dont care in a pill, even invincability in a pill
but never composure

Posted by: neophyte | January 29, 2007 at 02:58 PM
as a veteran of many childhood trips to the emergency room due to ear infections, i can say with the voice of experience that ear infections suck
that is all
Posted by: TCK | January 29, 2007 at 03:16 PM
I don't think I've ever had them either (if I did I was too young to remember) but according to my mom, my oldest sister had them all the time when she was growing up.
Posted by: Bumble | January 29, 2007 at 03:23 PM
So did my daughter but after we had her tonsils taken out the ear stuff stopped, when she was about 6 or 5,but I always had "mom sympathy pains" because I could tell how much it hurt.
Posted by: Cookie | January 29, 2007 at 03:25 PM
Someone once told me that she had never had a headache, and I was awestruck and exceptionally envious. As neo said above, I didn't know that was possible,
*wishes for a headache-free world, or at least, faster-acting meds*
Posted by: KDF | January 29, 2007 at 04:10 PM
i've never had an ear infection either, but my oldest daughter has had tubes put in her ears for same, 7 times.
yeah, ya read that right...7 freakin times!

Is it the Bot, Alfred, Bumble, or KDF?
