This past week Wobbetta --- the Brazilean-Albanian beauty,
jouster with teenaged sons, confidant of Oprah Winfrey, uncertain
bike rider --- had some difficult news. She is afflicted with
rheumatoid arthritis. The women present expressed sympathy, sounding like
the best of Hallmark. The boys greeted such tough news (because
nothing is sacred on the Shelf) with the usual round of insensitivity;
asking her if it was contagious, imagining side effects of the
treatments, suggesting cures. Hopefully, the always-positive Wobbs
was able to smile at some of this. One outcome so far seems that her
spelling is greatly improved.
Speaking of insensitivity, I was delighted to receive my
first "dumbass" on my very first comment on my very first column.
I know in BookShelf circles, this is a term of endearment. I feel
like I now belong and carry the sobriquet with me with warmth.
It's OK that some of you miss MeeMaw. If you see her, please
let her know I wanted to post all of the items she left me.
But I so dilly-dallied in setting up this column that my old
e-mail vaporized at 7 days. All that wisdom is lost to the ages.
Sigh. Any new wisdom, please try me at KatyTried@aol.com. Only two
people figured this out on their own, so the listings today are
still meager:
Higher Priorities than chatting:
ParaMyrrh: Allan Im still on this Karr guy

Godwit935: Your behavior is pathological, Wyrm.
Wyrmpowerx: Like you know about pathology?
Godwit935: It's symptomatic.
Wyrmpowerx: Non sense
Godwit935: It's hard to miss, Wyrm.
Wyrmpowerx: You just like to get in peoples faces
Godwit935: All this guys come up, lying to beat the band, and think they're the first ones.

Meemaw used the same excuse. I guess Katy and Meemaw are one and the same
The parenting advice from PO made me laugh. I must need more caffiene.
I hope Wobb is ok.
mee maw e mailed me yesterday I was very nearly sick
Why the fook would Mee Maw e-mail you???? It's not like your dislike for her is a secret.
because I am special mel
PatientOnion once gave me a great dinner idea. Chicken thighs cooked in a hot hot oven in a dutch oven over cut up potatoes and onions. It was very good.
Well, that's true Mum, but still.... I don't usually e-mail people I know don't like me.
"BinxB91: If you say you don't Know any weirdos on the net, you're probably one of the weirdoes"
Words of wisdom from Binx.
I hope Wobbs is okay!!
