WW – fruity – 5.21.08

welcome to whatever wednesday.

where WHATEVER is bound to happen.

hope you stick around – it’s always a wild ride. i could barely make out last week’s progression, but it looked like y’all had ton o’ fun without me!

TheNorEaster closed us out last week with the question: what’s the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?

great question! here’s what ask dr. dictionary said: A fruit is actually the sweet, ripened ovary or ovaries of a seed-bearing plant. *we know y’all don’t read these answers* A vegetable, in contrast, is an herbaceous plant cultivated for an edible part (seeds, roots, stems, leaves, bulbs, tubers, or nonsweet fruits). *if you’re reading, say “random!” in the comments* So, to be really nitpicky, a fruit could be a vegetable, but a vegetable could not be a fruit.

ovaries, huh? wow…

now, class, let’s all thank dr. dictionary: “thank you dr. dictionary!”

moving on…

our starter question: is it better to deal with a runny nose by shoving tissue paper into it so it won’t drip, or by wiping/blowing?

the rules: answer the last, leave the next. be sure to hit “refresh” before “submit” because chances are somebody already beat ya to it! or just randomly comment throughout.

go!

    Q: How many blogs and web sites do your read everday?

  25. Tam – living on the West (‘later’ time zone) Coast is NOT easy , for us TV watchers huh?

    Especially when East Coasters just have to blog about shows without concern for their fellow Americans (or Aussies)

    There is nothing more frustrating that watching an East Coast broadcast of late news highlights that gives you the result of the program the same channel is about to broadcast next in your time zone for the first time! – Thank YOU, Channel 10! grrr.

    <B

  26. It doesn’t effect me at all any more….our kids are several years beyond school now…so we’re FREE until the grandbabies come!!!!

  28. Q: Can we get a live camera on Mandy while she takes these medications?

    I guess we could ask Love to see if he’s poked any new holes anywhere lately :)

    New Q: Are you all praying for Drew right now :)

  29. Q: Clean up poop or clean up vomit?

    Gee, I get a choice :)

    Poop all the way!

    New Q: Has Drew needed to clean up and poop or vomit?

    ooooh Mandy’s gonna love this conversation :)

  30. New Q: Has Drew needed to clean up and poop or vomit?

    A: My guess is he would live the dirty jobs for his women to take car of. :)

    Q: Which is more annoying your partners snoring or their bed farts?

  31. A: BOTH. YES. BOTH. They are equally irritating and unacceptable. Bed farts should never be allowed while still awake. Snoring? If you snore next to me I WILL kick you. I will also plug your nose. I will shake the bed violently. I will turn the tv up to its loudest volume! Dont. Mess. With. Me.

    ;)

    Q: What do you think of women who wear do-rags?

  33. Q: What is your favorite animal and why?

    Q: How often does your partner ask for advise in chosing which clothes to wear?

  34. A: Not enough :?

    Q: Should I close the comments for Mandy beings she’s sick??? Cause I totally will. In fact, any one of you can if you’d like. Go ahead and try it. it’s fun. It’s like an adrenaline rush. Look.

    –COMMENTS CLOSED–

    see.

    fun.

  35. but what if it looked like this

    {comments are officially closed for the evening, thank you for stopping by}

    that’s prettier, tam, much prettier. and cordial, to say the least.

  36. ‘Dont. Mess. With. Me.’

    the punctuation kind of gives you the impression Tam’s serious concerning the snoring/bed-fart issue huh??? :shock:

    I think i’ll go mess with Mandy instead then – now, where did i put her meds?

    (you can have that as a new q if you like?)

    oh – comments may be officially closed for the evening but since it’s 3 pm here and there is WAY TOO MUCH officialdom ruling our lives already, i’m unofficially re-opening comments for ‘the duration’ :-)

    Tam’s right – taking control of Mandy’s Blog IS fun :D

    ‘Morning Miss Mandy :-)

    <B

  37. A: Tam, Yes, you should close the comments. Because we know it never works and I always liked giving you and Mandy a hard time. :lol:

    Q: If Tam is taking control of Mandy’s blog, does that mean Tam would never need a dictionairy to know the difference between a fruit and a vegetable…?
