Grandma Susie's House of FUNNERS 'N FLOOZIES (Volume IV)

Susie, we're not above eating pie off the floor.

Here's another commercial that I find both annoying and kind of amusing at the same time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ2Wvmvpszs

egads, think I'll pass... stupid commercials. Why would people gather around and talk about their monthly or diahrea, or anything close to that?

"Here have some chips and dip, oh and btw I have diarhea."

Like the one where the spaghetti is swatting the woman in the face, or the burrito is slapping the guy? Some antacid commercial, I think. Hate it with a passion.

Ugh, that one has obnoxious sound effects. Am with you all the way on the hate.

I don't think I've seen that one! Very cute on a first viewing. It might get on my nerves by the twelfth.

On our family road trips, we had heartwarming musical moments, too:

"Dad, he keeps humming under his breath so only I can hear it! Make him stop!"

"Cassie, if you sing one more verse of '100 bottles of beer on the wall,' you're grounded for the entire vacation. "

"Mom! That song is soooo corny! I'm not singing that."



Yep, regular von Trapps, we were.

You mean silence for five minutes...then it all started again.

^ I know, right?

Even Mrs. Butterworth????

Oh, and yes, I've been known to eat pie off the floor too.

There's an art to scraping only the top part of the pie off and not the bottom part that's stuck to the floor - You have to use a spork, yanno.

Don't hate me 'cause I haz skillz.

One year our turkey hit the floor on Thankgiving when i was a kid. My brother literally fought the dog (a giant full blooded German Sheperd) for it. I just ate the potatoes on the table.

Susie has to love Mrs. Butterworth. I think Suz oozes syrup when she's hot. How could she not be a fan?

(And I'm with ya on the spork skillz. As long as you don't scrape the floor, it's all good. It even works in parking lots. )

I'm sorry Susie! I did the same thing the first time I was allowed to cook dinner solo for my family. I tended to one of those frozen lasagnas for over an hour, then when I went to take it out for the final time if fell, slap, top side down.

No one was home so I scraped as much as I could and added cheese.

I dated a microbiologist for a while. As a result, there's no "five second rule" in my house. If it falls on the floor and I can't wash it -- it's garbage, no matter what it is!

I'm a bit OCD, with everything, but with food and dishes especially. Eating out usually has me pouring water on the silverware and scrubbing it with my napkin before eating. I would take my own plasticware, but then I'd look like Jack Nickolson in As Good as it Gets. I may be a loon, but I don't really want everyone to know.

I'm behaving.

Do any of you germaphobes have long nails? If so, we need to talk. I'll be waiting for you in the lab with a Q-tip and a petri dish.

Not me, but I break 'em at work. And long nails or no, I scrub my nails and hands like a surgeon before eating.

btw- It's not the germs that cause this, I work at a pharmacy and get something every week. Don't worry about germs, it does no good, if it's out there then I'll probably get it.

Not me. I can't stand them. Mine are always clipped.

And off to the germ infested place I go.

later funners.

Actually, some kind of zombie party. They served brains.

She might be a bit old for him, but she'd make a lovely date for my son.

As long as he'd be willing to take her out to dinner at expensive restaurants she wouldn't care about his age.

He's probably got enough to spring for a Big Mac, but that's about it.


(Besides, I'm encouraging him to save up his money so I can be a burden to him in my old age.)

Oh, that's no problem . . . just complain about him not calling or visiting you enough.

Nope. Mine are short and neatly filed. You can't do anything practical with long nails. And actually, I don't even like the way they look. I'm not into nail polish either -- I buff them.

Interestingly, most of my guy friends seem to agree. It came up at a party once, and only one guy out of more than a dozen preferred long polished nails. A couple of them didn't care. The rest preferred a natural look. What do you think, guys? Are long nails and nail polish one of those things women do mostly for each other? Or are my guy friends all freaks?

At the risk of getting slapped . . .

I prefer simple nails on a woman, relatively shortish with either a clear polish or a single color that looks good on her (from pink to red--no greens, purples, blacks, sparkles, stripes, or little paintings of Jesus).

DD #1 sometimes has polish on her toenails that changes color according to the light.

But it doesn't matter what a guy thinks. Women just ignore our opinion about clothes, shoes, makeup, and, well, everything.
