Amuse String!

[string]

String, I can't believe your husband is not entertaining you in the manner to which you are certainly entitled. I would be tap dancing or doing card tricks or something.

Why not try something really interesting like drawing Finonacci curves or calculating the nth Fibonacci number.

Personally, I like to do callygraphy. It clears the mind accomplishes something. You could make some Xmas cards for your friends. Or . . . you really could start on a new pair of tartan hose. I'd like the Robertson tartan personally.

Well I'm not married, and i'm trying not to share with my boyfriend. He is in his dorm doing his homework like a good boy. My current knitting is a sweater, but its a little boring right now.

Ok String - a few things to ponder from your sick bed...

1. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

2. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

3. The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.

4. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the BLANK was going on when I first saw it.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

7. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

8. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm trying to finish a text.

9. Was learning cursive really necessary?

10. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

11. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

12. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

13. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

14. Bad decisions and bad experiences make good stories

15. Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

18. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

19. It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

20. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

21. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my a$$ everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...

22. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day. I think you're there.

Hey check this out. If this doesn't entertain you, you're dead:


Me a few years back in a Montrose doublet with jabot.


Turpin entertaining ladies at a SEKS gathering.


SoutherScot and I model kilts at the bar


Three fellows trying to stand up after a night of drinking


The second haggis I ever made


My granddauhter the day I fell in love with her


How to have a St. Paddy's parade in a little town


A really dreat day where I showed my granddaughter what rabbits look like.


Same granddaughter this year.


Me trying to look holier-than-me.

I'm not dead yet, because that entertained. What a lovely grandbaby you have.

I have only had haggis from and can, and that was a tiny nibble because i was very sick at the time. I doubt if I'll ever have it again. they probably don't make gluten free haggis.

They probably do make gluten free haggis. Aren't oats supposed to be gluten free? If not, you can make your own.

If you're bored - make something.

Be well, (or at least get well)

oats don't have gluten, but they get contaminated if they are grown anywhere near wheat so I can't eat regular oats, just specially grown ones.

Get well soon String. I was down with a migraine today which is no fun either. Being sick and bed ridden is the pits. How many games of computer solitaire have you played today?

[dfmacliam]

I hope you get to feeling better... I am coming off a surprising fast moving flu like ailment. It moved out fast too.. just not as fast as it hit..

I am lucky enough to watch cable.. they have been playing series lately... so I been checking out different shows, while I fade in and out of sleep...while I was sick... I did not have the patience to surf the web, or play any games..

Take a walk and get some sun, take your meds, and do something for you...

[thescot]

String, you are always a joy to have around. I sincerely hope you will soon be well. I say a prayer for your rapid recovery.

Thanks for the compliment re my granddaughter. (She tells her parents that she's "Big Daddy's sweetheart." And indeed she is.)

You get the properly grown Scottish oats, and I'll make you a haggis you'll like. Rarely do people not like my haggis, and if the oats are OK, there's nothing else with gluten in it!

Perhaps you and your fellow should plan a trip to Atlanta in January to be our honored guests at the Burns Supper where I always cook the haggis (along with my buddy, SouthernScot).

Drink plenty of fluids and sleep well.

too many rounds of an addicting game that comes with Ubuntu
