Just a little aside here. This morning I half heard a public radio discussion. The speaker referred to Sara Palin's having claimed a view of Russia from her backyard in Alaska. He then exclaimed something like, "I live near Lake Michigan. Does that make me a sturgeon?" (As I said, I only half heard it, so this may be less than accurate. It's in the spirit assuredly.)

It's all wonderful. Your being a volcano-tamer is the cherry on top - in two senses of the phrase. Being four years your senior, I'm also liking the population stats on the climb.

Thanks, Judy. I've been working on it slowly and you're right on.

Now that you mention it, we've meant "gelled' all along. Unless you people who misspell "-ize" as "-ise" also misspell fooods.

@@Julie norton, thanks for filling in. I'd think that everyone was wanting to know. Your tidbit is even more fun now. I don't know if you had one item per person in mind, but something else comes to mind. When I was in third grade, my mother took me to The Ed Sullivan Show. I have no idea who was on that evening, but I was so excited the next day in school that I couldn't get the news straight: "We went to the Ed Sullivision Show!!"

@@Who'sThere, you were perfectly clear. I read through too quickly to catch it correctly.

Hm, what do you suppose that means?

@@Who'sThere, I don't know about Jackson Heights or how long ago your friend quoted $12, but nothing is $12 now. The last time I noticed, parking garages in Manhattan were getting at least $50 -- like 9-5, not 24 hrs. Some residential buildings sell spaces in their garages for eye-popping amounts. Quite a few years back, the first time I heard of spaces being sold as condominium apartments are sold, a $2.25 million price tag was mentioned. Or was it $225,000? Sorry, it was a long time ago. Then owning garage spaces started to become more of "a thing." I don't know what prices may be like now or how much location is a factor. How about another odd fact or experience, someone?

@@OzRoo, I'm sorry, I wasn't really aiming to correct you, just trying to be sure I was with you. More people probably call it "jelly" than "aspic." I don't really know what I call it -- not around it all that often. The Rush Hour clip is the best. My cheeks hurt from laughing.

I'm sure it is a nice ride, but completely impractical here, never mind that lots of people have cars of that size. Owning a car is impractical for me. I'm better off renting or borrowing when I need one. I'd thought of using the GMC for a week or so, but was told that I'd be whittling my sale price down to near nothing. It was enough that, having taken title, I was selling what is considered a "used" car -- with 5 miles on the odometer as it comes to the dealership from the plant. Sitting in it sure was nice. Not quite as nice as riding in a '56 T-bird or '52 MGB, but nice all the same......Y'know what's happening. I want a car of my own, parking be damned.

@@Who'sThere, no way did I choose the screen name. BP assigned it somehow and, when I wanted to change it to something less weird, someone pointed out that I was already recognizable. How's "WLS?" As to the rest, I know that you know that I know...

@@Babbs and @@Inner Surfer Girl -- I "won" a GMC Acadia Denali with all the bells and whistles because I was in the right place at the right time. I sold it to the dealer that GMC enlisted to handle the transaction. Where am I to park a monster like that in Manhattan? Beside, I don't lug around a Little League team. When I went to the dealership to do all the paperwork (I was required to take title), I was given a tour of the car which had just come in with all the extras the dealer had ordered, knowing what he could sell. I sat in it about five minutes and realized that it was nice to sit high and see everything. The next day I missed the big lug. Anyway, the bits of the Rock. Center tree are more unusual. ISG, I'll come to Hawaii to watch you surf.

@@Who'sThere@Dub "She" and "somebody" checking in once more. You apparently have no clue as to how many people have no clue. I shall sleep well knowing that you are not among them.

@@OKCPirate, I clicked the triangle and nothing happened. I've never seen a link in the form of a black band. Did I click the wrong thing? I'm hesitant to click more w/o your input.

May I borrow-quote from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre right about here? "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges." We don't need no Alex yet. You've all been having fun and I want my share. Anyone remember American Bandstand every afternoon? I give this thread a 9. It has a good beat and you can dance to it.

The OP is the only one releasing bile in these waters. @@tess170 wrote @@LipstickLady, @@Babbs you guys are simply too stupid for me to even say anything else to! Keep posting rude comments get your weight down instead of trying to say hurtful things. No one is trying to or saying rude or hurtful things. People are merely jesting at your expense. Furthermore, I demand to be included in the stupid group. Have at me, Sunshine.

Not until you put on lipstick. Hey, 12 pages of comments? I can't take time to read through for all the good stuff to play with. I came too [to?] late to the party.

@@tess170 -- Hey, Sunshine, you must be lots o' fun at funerals. If you want to dictate the responses you get, you'll be mighty lonely talking to yourself. and @@LipstickLady -- I'm Jewish and I never heard of it either. Carp jelly like fruit jelly? Or do you mean jelly as in aspic? Are you thinking of gefilte fish? Carp may or may not be one of the fish ingredients, as people who prefer the dish to appear white don't use carp, which gives a tan color. The "jelly" is the broth in which the fish mousse mixture is poached and then cooled. Not everyone eats the jell/aspic. I don't.

Only one? How to choose? Okay, the first thing that comes to mind... I've had branch trimmings from the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree (the preparation of the tree once it's been erected is more interesting than the finished product) as living-room decorations. I used wide, red ribbon to tie them into two pretty bundles and then tied those to the interior window shutters. @@Julie norton, is the name of the country singer a secret?

P.S. to my note above. If you're going to go from rectum to vagina, peel off the condom first. If you insist on not using condoms, at least never go from rectum to vagina without a good penis wash first.

@@Who'sThere, I have no info on the effects of RNY, am stopping in to say suggest that you use a condom for anal sex. It's wise regardless of any and all considerations.

Was that the only doctor in the practice? See another surgeon in the practice or get busy calling other practices in the area. There's also the very real possibility that the pain(s) may be caused by any number of things unrelated to the band.

Drink one cup as soon as you get out of bed, pee and brush. Drink a second cup within the half hour. Right there you've got a good percentage of the day's goal. Getting the rest in will be much easier.
