Khirad, do you write your posts in Word and then C&P?

» Posted By Chernynkaya On March 26, 2010 @ 12:09 pm

Thanks, Nellie. I think it might have something to do with your previous problem of the post defaulting to Speakers Corner instead of “featured.” ????

AdLib, not that I don’t love –and appreciate!–Nellie’s last post on Reform, I just got the 6th email notification of the same post. 🙂

Thanks for doing that Nellie. And once you restore the posts to featured, it sends another email alert too. No big deal, but thought Adlib should know.

I just dropped in for a few minutes, and now I am getting sleepy.

Good night, everyone!

Nellie, Hi. I tried to do what you did (to show Patsy), but of course, the code didn’t show up! You are a wizard.

Patsy, Hi! Did you do them like this:

text and then the same at the end of the text but with a / ?

in other words– a / at the end of the text?

Gawd– I had a funny feeling about that when I pasted! But it was my first time, so I won’t beat myself up. But seriously, thank you for fixing all those. It won’t happen again.

Hi AdLib — in my hate article today, a couple of my links are getting a Firefox message– Server not found– even though when I go I click on them OUTSIDE the article, they link. Any suggestions? Thanks.

BTW, the 2 not working are in the word
“symbols” and “scholarships.”

EDIT; Dang! Now the cartoon links ain’t working neither!

I wanted to insert the actual Dali painting into my comment on WTS;s post– where the link he provided was in Japanese? Instead, it became its own post. Can you make it disappear? PLEASE!

HELP! MAKE THIS STOP PLEASE! I was trying to insert into my comment to WTS

Hi AdLib or Nellie. When I click on Khirad and Kalima’s comments nothing happens– I don’t get taken to the thread they are on. Is it because of the letter “K”? 🙂

» Posted By Chernynkaya On February 2, 2010 @ 5:02 pm

I can see yours Nellie.

Great idea AdLib!

My Christmas turkey is not cooking properly– how can I tell when it’s done?

The Imagination of a Child

Those sound awesome! My mom couldn’t even sew on a button! I would have loved to have custom clothes for my Barbi.

» Posted By Chernynkaya On December 24, 2009 @ 3:40 pm

Oh, I absolutely remember those bottles– I think they still make those kind of dolls.

But Barbie– I was obsessed with her. I used to pour over the little booklets of outfits and never had enough money saved to get all I wanted. But then, I would never have been satisfied! I think my adult need to buy too many clothes was shaped by Barbie– I blame Barbie!

And I even bought a Ken doll, but face it– not as much fun to dress a guy.

I have searched for that doll on ebay, and never found it, and have no idea of its name. I would love to find one–so unusual! It’s actually so cool to have a doll that has four faces. Kind of surreal, actually.

I bet right now– or tomorrow– they’ll be a Twilight Zone marathon on. Serling was brilliant.

HAHAH! I don’t know– toys?

I like Josh Grobin– amazing voice! I have one of his songs on my iPod– The name escapes me but “I am strong, when I am on your shoulders…” That one.

Yes– I am working my way through the older posts now, but I did see that dgraz is among us– hooray!

Anyway, I am a notoriously cheap drunk.

Merry Christmas Bito– please see the beginning of my above reply to Javez to explain how long it’s taken to reply–LOL!

You are so right about Chatty Cathy! Do you remember an old Twilight Zone episode about a talking doll? Chatty Cathy always reminds me.

This little girl had this doll, and she also had a mean step-father. Anyway, the doll drove him nuts and eventually killed him by making him trip down the stairs. I remember being sooo scared by that!

Guess I can’t even have one glass of wine and blog– I forgot to refresh the page, and had no idea there were replies– Sorry!

Anyway, Hiya Javez– Merry Christmas! Nah– not too personal. This is my second marriage, and yes, still married for three years, but we’ve been together for nine. I have one son (30) from my first marriage, and he has two girls that live with us– ages 15 and 18– Gorgeous Eurasians– He’s Chinese, his ex is from Spain.

Someday, I’ll have to blog about being married to someone from such a different culure and about being such an older woman!

Since I was barely here yesterday and missed all the fun– I want to add my memories too.

Dolls, dolls, dolls, were my main thing. But before I get into those, I want to share about something that gave my husband a good laugh at my expense. (not really my expense, but anyway…)It’s relevant to this story that he is 8 years younger than me, so our toys weren’t exactly the same vintage.

I was reminiscing about my toys and mentioned how I used to play with Mr. Potato Head. He said he liked that too. But then I told him that it was important to get a well-shaped potato, he started laughing uncontrollably, because he never knew that the original toys were meant to be used with real potatoes! He said he imagined something out of Dickens– a small little girl asking her mother for a potato to play with. But honestly, it was fun sticking the eyes and lips into potatoes!

Anyway, the dolls. Of course, Barbie– the ORIGINAL. But way before her were Betsy Wetsy (a doll that peed), Ginnie Dolls (kinda like Madame Alexander dolls), Poor Pitiful Pearl (a homely, pathetic doll with a tragic expression), Chatty Cathy (a talking doll with pull-cord, who wanted to be my friend), and my very first doll. This first doll was unique because it was a baby doll with 4 faces. it wore a baby hoodie and if you rotted its face, it had a different expression: Sleeping, smiling, crying and laughing. Cool!

Finally, to make this long story longer, the story of my African American doll: This was in the fifties and they didn’t make AA dolls. Here’s the set up. Like most kids in that era, my neighborhood was pretty de facto segregated, and their were very few black people. I only saw them rarely and at age 3 or 4, I thought they were made out of chocolate, so I loved them. Anyway, for my fourth birthday, I told my dad I wanted a “chocolate doll.” He knew what I meant, and damn if he didn’t manage to find a beautiful African American baby doll! I loved that doll, and as I grew up, understood how difficult that was in 1954. And I still am so grateful to my parents who raised me to fight for racial equality and civil rights.

Welfare Kings and Queens in Congress

Meh– that was gratuitous crap I had in Word about farm subsidies and was stupid to post, but it momentarily rankled me. I hate when I go off like that on someone’s great blog, Sue.

Survivorman Circa 2009: Somewhere in NE Georgia Hospital

#20 NEVER TURN DOWN PAIN MEDS OR SLEEP MEDS.

Are you fucking kidding me? Who would do such a thing?! I love those.

I had total hip replacement 9 months ago, and walked out of the hospital 3 days later without a cane or anything because they knew to give me pain meds before my therapy. Also, now they have those cute charts with unhappy faces numbered 1-10 so you can tell them what number pain you are in. ( Personally, I exaggerated.)

The only thing I would add to this: After the surgery, once the spinal wore off, I was in a lot of pain, and got a shot of morphine. But they never give you enough– they do it gradually, hoping that the least amount will work. Well, I didn’t realize that and thought, “Uh oh! If morphine doesn’t work, I’m screwed.” Ask for more if you need it– they expect that.
