Office Work.......

That's funny! I know, I sometimes answer the phone while reading someone's post and I realize I've got the phone next to my head but I'm forgetting to say the hello greeting.

One day last week I actually asnwered with the name of this forum rather than the company name. Luckily it was a coworker so he just laughed.

You!?! We only got cherrios and rice crispies. On a rare occasion we'd get fruit loops or lucky charms. I think it had to be on fire sale and triple couponed!! Once my dad was diagnosed diabetic, we never got peter pan peanut butter - only "natural". WHat the heck is natural about 6" of oil on top of peanut dirt?

When I was little, my folks bought me a mattress from a fire sale. It still smelled of smoke. I had nightmares about our house going up in flames for a long time after that.

6" of "natural" oil is so much yummier than 7" of hypercondroginated sucrose. (I guess.) You poor thing.

My mom would get Rice Krispies and I would dump about a half cup of sugar on them. It would all settle on the bottom into a big mass of sugar sludge which was the only way I would drink milk back then.

Loved the sugar sludge and raisins! But then she switched to "Equal" and it was never the same. And I'm a JIF girl now!! It is the peanutiest and I am a choosey mom.

My grandfather always referred to things as on "fire sale". It just stuck like so many of his other sayings - most of which are NOT appropriate for a family forum.

Haha! When I was a kid we were on welfare for a looooooong time. Government peanut butter and prunes. ALWAYS THE PRUNES! Like poor kids need MORE tummy troubles.​

Oh Jeeze, I was never "tough" enough to handle fire balls.

OOoOoOOoo, I especially like the big ones they sell by the registers at gas stations. We call them 'free repeaters' because the heat comes back about 1/2 way through

I once got a jawbreaker the size - I kid you not - of a softball. I think I bought it a Cracker Barrel. It took me and the dog a month to eat it! Oh yeah, I was 12 and my bestest pal was my dog, Zonker. She was a very willing participant!

Yup, I am regularly thankful for that hawk, Buffy. I know chicken people aren't supposed t say that, but I am. Ieven wrote it up into a story and submitted it for a competition. And another story (fiction) as well. It's been 2 months though, and no award letter <sigh> (not that I expected one, I just wish they'd end the suspense!)

Been there, done that (minus the dog's help). They sold them at some ice cream place we used to go to. I look at those now and cringe.

My Dh calls when he is bored. Or driving. Or wanting to chat about something I don't have time for. Or wants directions so he can tell me mapquest is wrong. Or wants my "opinion" on the house construction, and will tell me "we cant do that" no matter what I say.

My BYC addiction has gotten so bad, I'll just nod at the phone, rather than give him the regular lip service, "uh huh". So busted.

Oh gosh, you have made splort part of my daily vocabulary now. And I used to be a somewhat dignified individual. Now I hang out with people who swap fireball licks with canines.
