    Oh Grog- you have to start at the beginning and catch up!! But mostly we talk about birds, wine and Lise's dates.

    This is how we keep the other threads relatively drift-free.

    Time to go home!!

    Nanci - you forgot chocolate

    Hey Grog - now you'll be drawn to come back. It is a good way to get the drift out of your system.

    Don't forget chocolate! We also talk about chocolate!

    Can't believe you never saw us goofing off over here, Grog! C'mon in. You do have to start at the beginning, though. Only 1,035 posts to plow through. You can skip the ones about wine, as I do. Unless you can drink wine like a normal person, in which case, you might really learn something!

    I love the word "cloaca". At the conference in Utah, I picked up a chicken & hen measuring tape. For measuring the pregnant ladies' bellies and making their bigger kids laugh. You pull out the tape by pulling the egg away from the chicken. Return it to the cloaca by pushing a button on its belly. (You know I'm tired from being up at 4, riding downtown, donating blood, riding home...when I can't remember if that's the "ITS" that gets an apostrophe or no. I'm living on the edge here.

    Yeah, Nanci, that "on the bike on" sentence got me to reread it aloud a couple of times!

    Poor **** Cheney. Never to see his true name on the TE board.

    Fishjr! TOO CUTE! Thanks for the picture!

    I love wine and chocolate and procrastinating.

    I definitely shouldn't have opened this Pandora thread!!

    Me, too! I also have the cow tape where you pull its tail. Too bad it doesn't moo at the same time.

    I also have a tiny fly reel tape from Orvis. I guess this means I have a collection of measuring tapes.

    No way! I did not see the cow one! Now I covet it! Heck, SK, you're well on your way to being a midwife!

    Has anybody else noticed how SK's "Lizard Time" lizard seems to be doing the "Hammer Time" dance, as first danced by MC Hammer? Hmmmmm?

    Grog, if you like procrastinating, you've found your home right here.

    I think I'll stick my knitting.

    BTW, how many of you know the measurement of your handspan? 8". Comes in very handy. This was probably on V's silly measurement thread.

    Oh my - I go upstairs to have lunch with a friend and I come back to another page and a half - what have I missed!! DH had to call me because I was "away" for so long on the instant messenger that he started to worry that I'd expired. THis won't last.

    Nanci I can't wait to check out that web site!!

    Chocolate! DH brought me a dark chocolate Peets/Scharffenberger bar to the hospital. I only at one square yesterday - Maybe it is time for #2.

    Wine - I now have conflicting reports as to whether I should drink while on anticoagulants. Grr. I think 1 - 2 glasses of wine probably are okay but that goes on the list of things to talk to the doctor about next week.

    I gotta try a Freddo.

    Hmm, maybe on off bike field trip to the Scharffen Berger factory? I keep trying to recruit people but it never seems to happen. When did the doctor think you'd be back on your feet regularly?
