Bread Recipe, before it Gets Buried in Shamelessness

Jo's Granny's Bread Recipe

2 C. hot water (warm to touch)
2 pks yeast (4 1/2 tsp)

Mix, let set about 10 min or so.

Add:
2/3 C sugar (or honey or molasses or any combo of)
2 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 C flour (I use 1 C each white and whole wheat or rye or 2 C white)

let rise till doubled.

Then add:

1/2 C oil
2 C flour (I use 1/2 C white and 1/2 C wheat plus 1 cup of oatmeal - or 1 C white and 1 C wheat or rye - or 2 C white)

let rise till doubled.

Then add 1 C more flour (or same combo 1/2 and 1/2)

Shape loaves and let rise till doubled. (Split top with knife and pour on butter if desired.)

Bake at 350 till done. (Brown on top and kinda hollow sounding.)


I bet you could add all the flour, let rise and then shape and let rise again before you bake it. This is just the way Granny did it, so it is tradition.

A nice religious discussion before bedtime. God isn't handing out money.

Blue-footed boobies sure are cute.

Pics - Sawyer. lolcat in a sweater. Mr. Rogers. Jessica Simpson. Dysfunctioanal families. Connery. Keely Shaye Smith is good enough for Pierce Brosnan.

James Bond. Skinny Hollywood women = bad role models.

Addition to Kerry's Aussie dictionary - Dunny = bathroom.

Be embarassed for middle aged women who still want to have David Cassidy's baby.

Morgy sleeps a loooong time in her new bed.

Karen should watch Lost online.

Happy 63rd anniversary to Karen's parents!

I'll be back later to continue this update. 2416

ShamelessLite Enjoyed Spring Break

Let's see. Uhhhhmmm, from memory . . .

BZ touched the Hoff. Jo's bench is beautiful. Karen had Teenagers of the Corn in school. Morgy is the resident pervert. MP got tsked a lot and liked it. Renae got a new bed. Melbgirl changed her avatar. [It's beautiful.] Misty is still pregnant. FCBs haircut prompts LOLcats with new hairdos. Norma has been shamelessly cluttering the thread. Noco shamelessly cluttered to page 2400. Kerry continues to be very productive.

Kerry: "I'm just winning the I win game . . ."

Mt Redoubt is too close to Nae_in_AK. Naked mole rats look like P ohmy.gif RN.


If I left you out, please forgive my shameless memory.

Half an Update is Better than None

Kerry wants pictures of Hoff from BZ's in-person with the living legend. Kerry is up too early.

Good mornings. We love Sharra's Challenge. Jo is doubly positive and gets productive. Sharra can teach "Towels and Toilet Paper: What to Do" Hamlet -- Aye, the rugs! Morgy teaches "The Island is Not a Landfill" class. Her kitchen is beautiful. [Editor's note: Do you accept Children of the Corn as students?] Karen wants to sleep. Sharra gives MP a nod.

St. Patricks Day. Amaretto Cake recipe with metric conversions! (See Post #45857 ). BZ isn't happy about being outed as Top Poster Number Four. Morgy clutters shamelessly. EBowen makes her second post a shameless one. BZ clutters shamelessly. Amaretto cake. Morgy clutters shamelessly. [Editor's note: Some posters have VERY slow internet connections.] Bad Influence Penguin introduced as a new Beanie Baby.

THE KITTENS!! (See Post 45967.)

St. Patricks Day. No corned beef for Morgy. Misty is still pregnant and okay, but the 4-year-old was sick. They have no heat. Morgy Digital Scrapbook Page. Morgy writes to Marla. Jo turns in an Awesome "DONE" List. The Obscenity Daffodil opens. Jo gets the room painted, and curtains and decorations back up in 6.5 hours! She promises pictures of the bench. Houseplant party in the sunroom.

Irish Bread. Sharra claims to be Dora. Kristi gives us GOLD!! There had been 92 Lurkers, but we only have 79 five minutes later. Challenge Committee Meeting.

"Filtered" beer. Lobster baths. Lady Myst gives us a blessing, but doesn't feel like being funny. Sharra becomes increasing incohernentigrhtjsk while havhygu e somhggj beerz. Kristi and Melbgirl are using their GOLD to buy houses. Training children. Lottery tickets. Melbgirl clutters shamelessly.


[Editor's Very Important Note:

The ShamelessLite Editor apologizes to Abby for depicting her as being "home drinking wine and lurking!"

Abby: "I had two wines after the Philharmonic at the concert hall . . ."]

Abby wonders what her real hair color is and wants to go to Las Vegas. Then she asks, "Am I being sufficiently shameless?"

Renae's Sheep counts people. Thersista. Karen was "momentarily a lurker." She's subbing with 8th and 9th Graders of the Corn. Craving Spring and stuck in a room with no windows. "Particularly." Tap Dancing Cat (see Post #46170.) Scolds bridle (see Post #46179.) Detention.

Morgy gets an email from FlyLadyKatie. Jo brings us on a Nature Hike. Morgy wants to go fishing now. Thersista. Teenagers of the Corn. Elaine dancing (see Post #46212). Morgy laments MP leaving us alone.

Karen: "Are we no longer tsk-worthy?" Sharra tsks. BZ wants a kitten. Thersista. Jo shows us BOOTS!!

Jo: "Her man is a puppet? Ok that brought up a thought I am not proud of. "

Mista Thersista!! (See Post #46265.)

Forum Boxing Match. The Pinochio Joke!!

Amazon vs. The Library. BZ upholds her image. Posters ante up and raise and up the ante. Chief Nut is beautiful and we love him.

Misty has heat again and her DD is better. Jess and Sharra can have a Beautiful Scientists' Club.

Naturenut: "Somebody has wicked control issues!"

Jess' Scientific Approach: "Screw this drama! I'm browsing ebay!"

Noco states she's not laughing. Melbgirl breaks a tooth on breakfast.

[Editor's note: When did Sharra hit 9,000?? GREAT JOB!!!]

Morgy brings us colcannon boxties and soda bread. Melbgirl stays out of the drama. Baby dragon. Karen is home and relaxing.

Drama chatter. Step-children ARE real children. Kerry's thread is apparently awesome. [Editor's note: I'm looking at that now! The Update takes a backseat to that.]

2274-2292

Noco's warm and cozy pajamas. Don't hate BZ because she's perfect/has perfect dreams. Morgy and BZ work together toward a new page goal. Panhandle weather reports. Spring poetry. One more semester and Jo will not be a therapist.

Bubba, aka Marcello, likes to wear 5 pairs of undies and play ninja turtle. "Since he hurt himself doing karate kicks he now wears extra padding." Kerry's child would enjoy playing with him, but would not bother with the underwear.

Greetings from Ireland. Ministerial certificate. Non-profit org goals. A clean home using 15 minutes/room. Ninja Penguin. My FlySista is NOT a therapist. Abby needs clothes. She may de-clutter too much. She's going to, hmmm…where was it? I think it was Wal-mart. Meg's condolences on that trip.

NoCo is having a heatwave. A tropical heatwave. St. Patrick's day facts, Morgy and Norma try to find an Irish family connection. Morgy may have NO CORNED BEEF?!?!
Kristi had a looooong day.

Here's a great conversation:

MG: Jo, thanks for this (a spring poem). It's good to have some culture on the thread.

Kristi: Woah! I think I'm offended by that comment! Humph!

MG: I meant refined, educational type culture as opposed to......I don't know, some other kind of culture. LOL We do have lots of culture here on this thread, I admit.

We're jealous that spring came to FCB's house. Morgy shows off her buds. She can't open windows yet (P.U.) Sharra needs to know "Summer is that when the snow is green?"

Morgy to Abby, who is switching from winter to summer clothes - "You are in Mexico.. so that is, what, full-back bikini to thong bikini??"

FCB gets fitter. Jo flashes her buds too. FCB gets a head start on next semester. Pain sucks - Morgy wants to clean. MG's dd has a lump on her head and tries to use it to her advantage. BZ had a less than perfect weekend.

What the heck is going on with Noco? "Spring break was last week, we took the family skiing. This week is the start of soccer. Plus, dh brought home an 8-month old puppy yesterday that we are going to work with for a friend."

P0rn is the new porn. Aglets. Fukidol. Renae is on Poop Patrol with Pooper Scooper Barbie. Warm weather. More talk of buds. ADOLAS. Benedryl.
Bz learned from Andy Rooney.

Amaretto cakes are yummy with 3/4 cups of it in the batter. Kristi and MG make progress with their land and home hunts.

New parking assignments from VP FCB. Please make a note.
BZ, you're in the Space Number Four!

Kerry, you have overtaken MP and are in Space Number Six!

Melbgirl, you have passed Darla and are in Space Number Nine!

Party favors, Morgy's Scrapbook Pages, Spring, Porn

Karen's craftroom is looking good. The rest of the house? Don't ask. Morgy's Digital Scrapbook Pages. Child harnesses. Triplets at Morgy's house? Fish. Baby preparations/appointments. Kristi mops too much. BabyStep 2-b is widening your butt. Kerry's emotional. We don't blame her! And she won't share hats with kids who might have lice. Reality should be against the law.

Where are the kitten pictures? The Shameless Swam is still injured. Morgy needs to write stories. BZ's Anniversary is coming up. We all fit in -- weird is good here. Andy Dick. BZ gets medals and we're invited to BZ's party.

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff244/iiOwnPhotobucket/25.gif

We choose party favors. Daggers? Outfits to wear/not wear. We all love each other. Fuzzy navel, sex on the beach. Drinks!! The Frog hops away. Perfect Pair timer. The Silver Penguin Clock. "It's My Party." but Mr. BZ doesn't share the penguin love. Bikini-clad Penguin. The Hoff. VP/Apathy saves the Teenages. Oh wait, it's Willy Wonka.

BZ has the bake sale crew at work in her house. A Nap Tradition. After the Philharmonic, Abby is left with the wine and the Lurkers. Funerals. MP was a lurker and gives hugs to all, even FCB.

Do you love LadyMyst now that she can dance? Never mind -- she was singing, not asking a question and notes "huffy doesn't work on shameless." Karen's geneology project. Child safety coloring book. Young Grandmothers.

Note to MP: A Warm Springtime Hug, Full of Sunshine and Big Flower Buds right back to You!

Kerry: "I hear whistling. What's all that whistling about?"

Morgy's Digital Scrapbook pages. (They're all good!!)

FCB: "I'm just whistling a happy song to cheer MP up so she stops swearing at me."

Housework music. The lurkers are stampeding in!! MP is buying us CDs.

THE SHAMELESS DINNER FIASCO AT FLYCAT'S (See post 45066.)

Jo gets a haircut and changes her avatar. Morgy finishes her apron. Date night runs into Saturday and Sunday, too. Misty wants that baby out. Sleeping on your stomache. Melbgirl looks for land.

Renae thinks she's been lazy!? Counts sheep.

Good mornings. Jo's first grader has big plans for spring break. They are not the same as Jo's. Plus there's a birthday party for Bubba. What color to paint the bedroom?

Egrets (see post 45152). There's porn thread going on. Saturday fun. Some Poster is Perfect and has Perfect Children and Home. BOOTS!! No, not those boots. Kerry is following Jo around with a camera. Jo's sister is a therapist, too! Someone is angry inside and has their Ph.D. in Denial.

Girl talk. Flowers. Flying affects everything. Let's send the Children of the Corn to the Perfect Poster. Kerry sings to us. AP Kindergarten has Astronaut Classes. PP fixes the Children of the Corn.

Kerry thinks she's mean!? Many choices for Renae's title. Sans Nom Bonbons Haricots. 1000 Post Strip Club!?

Morgy:

"I'mmmmm dreaming of a greeeeeeeenn Spri-ing!
Like all the ones I used to know!
Where the birds are singing,
the pools are glistening!
And birds procreate in the treeeeeeeessss! "

Sans Nom Bonbons Haricots = No Name Jelly Beans

Multilingual, Musical Team Captains About to Cure Cancer and Patent a Better Hoover!

Beat THAT!

Uh-oh! Plastic Fork Shooter Inventor Makes Contraption to Slam Doors in Your Face and Speaks Another Language That No One Understands. Dauzou Helps.

NEWO Bump-and-Grind. Sharra needs a pole. Kristi goes to look at a house. People want soup, but it's not ready yet. Porn thread continues. Soup is ready. 72 Lurkers!!

The Obscenity Daffodil (Madama Presidenta Obsceniteum) (see post 45275).

Spring pictures. Kristi's househunting report. Links to alleged porn thread (See post 45291). More of Kristi's househunting report. FCB's buds are bigger than Morgy's.

Kristi to Morgy: "I'll theripitize you if you do me!"

Kristi:

"It's been a while since I've been truly shameless."
"Ready?"
Rapid-Click Clutter!! WOO HOO!!
38 "Super Shameless!!!" posts.

FCB can spell porn but doesn't want to draw porn ads. She cleans up unfinished projects now.

The Pohmy.gifRN brings the lurkers out in droves! Sharra's sister isn't a therapist and doesn't play the harp.

Sexy Fred. Morgy's Digital Scrapbook page. Noco forgets what shameless thing she was going to post. She gives us an entire paragraph in one post. People need to go to bed. Canadian Coppertone Ad (see Post #45394). Melbgirl's landhunting report. Jo was lurking. Waxing kit. Playdough. Massage. Sports. Porn. Therapists. [Editor's note: Is there Porn Therapy?]

The futon. Noco procrastinates, but not on thread cluttering.

Noco: " . . . my butt was missing the chair something fierce."

71 Lurkers to 6 Members = 11.83:1!!

Melbgirl procrastinates, but not on thread cluttering. The kids dawdle instead of getting ready for school. FCB's weight-loss!! WOO HOO!! Morgy's lilac! Sharra sweeps out the garage and pushes the cats out. Abby changes out the clothes in the closet.

Quick update on a slow day

Melbgirl colours her hair and deposits 5 in the CCT Bank. Her DD spells like an American and misses the Championship. [Editor's note: Throughout the day, Americans vote her the winner.] LOLcats. Losing Elders.

Good mornings. Jo likes the sunshine and misses that 55°F that disappeared in the last week. Abbie's teacher does a drop-in. Jo's house is guest ready for the surprise visit -- Jo even had a bra on!

Meg is "caffeinated, but its not doing its job!"

Jo drops a note in her post:

http://www.onceuponalife.com/forums/images/smilies/hide.gif

Better than the Shameless Thread?

SkinnyCat has been busy. Meg mentions cleaning the oven. Renae wants to play, but comes back with a headache. Dogs with ice packs show up. Speeches. BZ should have her Anniversary Party in Michigan. Michigan and Texas have the same temperature.

Renae is feeling better. HOORAY!!

Coloured leashes and wooden spoons

Aussie Jem posts shamelessly. MP flys by to say hello. Leashes & wooden spoons. Jo has a wooden spoon named Mr Spanky. "When he shows up, everybody listens." Jo gets killer mid-term out of the way.

Rainbow reins. Jo has one more semester of school to go. Grey reins. Norma needs to stop procrastinating but gets a cuppa first. Lego had 2 pairs of rainbow suspenders in high school but never wore them. [Ed : Why not?]

BHG flys by. Lego unproductive today but that's ok because she was productive yesterday. Nae drops in to say hi. So does Misty. Misty has a busy week. Morgy is on bedrest due to horseplay around tall beds.

Kerry dances to celebrate the 97% that she got for her case study. Woohoo. Lego suggests she records the dance and posts it on Youtube. [Ed : We're waiting, Kerry....] Jo has a good day and shamelessly posts her accomplishments.

Sharra's garage floods. Snow melts and the drains can't cope. Flying in SC flies by after spending 7 hours working on a rental property. Melbgirl & Lego change light globes. Let there be light. Navy & green leash. Melbgirl's DD in school spelling competition. Sharra's drain copes once water down drive slows down.

Morgy's Amy "pig-snorting" in her sleep. Sharra's kids want to jump in the water in the garage but she won't let them. Norma is going to bed earlier but can't get up in the morning. Karen's new Dyson arrives. Suction. Abby makes a quick stop before heading to siesta. Sharra realises she could have sucked up water with her wet/dry vacuum. Abby doesn't make it to her siesta.

Kristi posts pics. "Children left unattended will be sold to the circus." Kristi predicts the big party after she's gone. [Ed : Sorry to disappoint you Kristi, no party tonight!] Sharra's DH asks what she did in her zone today. Is he a lurker?

FlyCat has no time for shamelessness. Funny videos. Quiet in shameless thread. FlyCat gives us Shameless Spring Stream of Consciousness. MG to go to funeral of great auntie. MG has goal to achieve many more years of shamelessness.

FlyCat : We need more shameless goals in life! We're supposed to have fun! FlyCat accomplishes a new page made. BZ organising her 25th wedding anniversary party. Renae buys a bed from IKEA. Yay!

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

The other half of the mini-update

Renae gives Jo hugs and chocolate. Karen sees her location highlighted on the Weather Channel, but, fortunately, nothing happens! The Forum switches Kerry's display mode. Karen's DD gets a makeover. Cats are yowling.

Kristi gets a surprise day off! She gives us mid-day LOLcats and 5,200!!

The Young Fliers thread will make you feel old. The makeover. Kerry's child swap (not the CCT Bank). Norma clutters shamelessly! Meanmomma clutters shamelessly! Shyness sucks. Page 2222. Ooops! NOT!! FCB wants a new life. Post #44444. The Biggest Loser.

Melbgirl shamelessly can't be bother reading the unread shamelessness. She got her Morning Routine done early. The Magic Wand may be the flyswatter. Children sliding across the bathroom floor. The Flyswatter is called the convincing stick. Lady Myst wants kid leashes to come back into style.

MP is still charming, but too lazy to photobucket her bracelet for us to see. Nae is looking for a chat room for blitzing. BZ is going to see the Hoff. (In a show. They're not dating.) Canada gets mud. MP chose silver for the charm bracelet and begins a swearing marathon. LOLbarfs at the Hoff. MP wants her update and swears some more. FCB has brought up bad memories but post a happy Springtime message anyway. Nae still has 2-1/2 feet of snow in Alaska. Francois takes care of MP.

Kerry wants to steal, um, adapt, MP's charm bracelet. MP is grateful for the quickies, but swears again. It makes BZ cry. Melbgirl makes an appointment for FCB to get
a massage. BZ hopes Hoff doesn't sing. The Magic Wand.

Aussie Jem messes with us.
Morgy's beautiful page for Amy (see post #44563).

Because MP is stomping her feet impatiently

FREE THE CATS!! Sharra doesn't want to go to bed. The rapid-click cheater clutterers get their thanks. Aussie Jem wants to chat, thinks she's alone, but you're never alone in the shamelessness. ShamWow photo. Cats in jail. Soccer cat. Yoga cat.

Good mornings. Norma shamelessly clutters! MP finishes her report cards. Sharra has her WD40 but why did she want it? There's a good dentist in Tiajuana. Topamax. BZ's snow is gone. Kerry is being productive. Ladies in Canada have no breasts. Flying Angel is getting snow. Renae is back from vacation. Abby is looking for the phrase about it being very early. Porn at Jo's house.

The "early" phrase: "That would be "butt crack o' dawn" I believe. otherwise known as 'It's still dark outside, WTF am I doing up?????' " Fifths disease. Snow. Renae hits 1,000 and throws a picnic in her family room!! Klondike bars. Porn. Klondike bars. Jo is on track for 2211/2211/2211. Noco throws a whole houseful of clutter onto the Shameless Thread to help! Jo takes the prize and clutters shamelessly!!

Meg is productive. MP is insane. She charms herself! Norma clutters shamelessly!

Kristi:

Where are we going?
clap clap clap
To catch the babies!

(From Dora Super Babies.)

Kristi's making pork chops and rice with veggies.

Karen clutters shamelessly and gets back to being productive. Melbgirl may have taught Melbboy to procrastinate. The productive people are AWESOME. Morgy changes her avatar. Keaf washes more dishes. Porn is explained. Jo obsesses over her midterms. Money = headaches.

Daylight savings time, animals, food, Canadians

Sharra hits the wine. Darla flies by. The Lurker Ratio is alarming. The Goat Leg. Cookies. Misty the Night Owl has a self-cleaning oven, her house is clean without In-Laws and has a 2 in 1 crib. People hate grocery shopping and putting everything away. Melbboy procrastinate on paperwork.

Good mornings. People are switching their kids' rooms and turning their clocks ahead. Breakfast and bruch. Animals talking and singing. Morgy's garden plans. Canadians can't deal with the cold. Cleaning up the yard. Cleaning up after dogs in the yard and on walks.

Ireland is friendly. Finbar Fury and the Fury Brothers. Housework. Brunch. Multi-lingual animals. Kerry's DS and DH seem to have trouble with English. No one understands her. The High Kings. Lunch. Goat. Garden. Weather. Kristi takes us to the park and then is Super shameless with apologies and makes a new page.

Sharra finishes her ironing. Noco reports that Kristi was Super Shameless. Kristi reports, "And so was Noco Christy!" Noco grabs the record! Misty gets impromptu decluttering done. Dog Maid (see post #43945). ShamWow song.

Abby: "I found a lot of Canadians can't deal with the heat, either. Neither can the Americans. The people from the country of Texas can, however."

Finbar/Clancy/Fureys/High Kings. WWI songs. Abby's tooth. People are off on Monday. Workers strike and Australia celebrates Labour Day. Dinner. Barney. Cats fantasize about eating humans. Karen's printer. Sharra has to go to bed early. She's not happy about it and now the cats are up, too.

Kerry wants a ShamWow. Sharra cats can't get to their food now.

Lurkers, underwear, Kristi Goat Leg

Recipes. Kittens. I've you like big piss ups, move to Ireland. [Editor's note: Let's start planning that trip!] Karen gets a jonquil from DD. Sharra is still growing snow and looks for the groundhog angrily. Nine minutes, eleven more lurkers on the forum. Abby was a lurker while getting dressed and asks how many pairs of underwear we have. She's still got the tooth problem. She rapid-clicks a promise to never rapid-click. Laughing gas. Valium.

What's the use of raising our post counts??!!? Valium. Underwear. Commando. Keaf doesn't mind. It's all about the money! Noco stops the presses..... Meg wears jeans??? Only as protective clothing. Underwear. Nice weather. Underwear. People are expanding.

Karen's printer. No pictures of the kittens yet. Underwear.

The Goat Leg (see post #43718). Is there a dead goat in Kristi's yard? Kristi is apparently saved from the dead goat search when DS wakes up. They make cookies for us instead. Underwear. Dental chatter. Kristi's Goat needs a decluttering challenge thread. The forum gets very slow.


2187

Mini-Update.

Noco has only changed her avatar once, BZ.

Thanks for trying to fix Karen's printer, FCB. We know you're better at this in real life.

Schwing!

Google kill Barney, but use safe search or you may blush.

That pic of Richard Simmons just keeps coming back. I still love it.

Norma ignores fighting children. Renae offers headphones and ear muffs. It appears Renae has insomnia. Oh, now it appears she is bored. Norma hates grocery shopping and grocery putting away. She is going to try to make butternut squash. Morgy likes grocery shopping, when she can buy what she wants.

Karen: At this moment the cat is having kittens in my kitchen towel drawer.

Countries, Birthdays, St. Paddy's Day approaches

The Shamelessness-By-Country report seems incomplete. Texas is it's own country. Norma is up way too early and claims her country! Kerry's DS is sick in the middle of the night again. Keaf is up way too early. Quebec is it's own country. (Editor's Note: If any Children of the Corn are reading this, Texas and Quebec are NOT their own countries. While the Shameless Thread prides itself on accuracy, don't believe everything you read on the internet.)

More birthday wishes. We are all grateful to MelbBoy for his assistance in easing the backlog in the ShamelessLite Update Center. The Winter of Kerry's Discontent. AJ clutter the thread with shamelessness. Norma gives her a WTG!! The Girls (Editor's note: The ones who clean the oven?) wake Morgy up 3:00 am.

More birthday wishes. Sanity. The Shamelessness-By-Country report starts to fill out a little. Abby goes off to shower, work and blah, blah, blah. Jo's little one got sick in the car. She has a lot to do today and is hosting a sleepover tonight for ten 5- and 6-year-olds, but still says TGIF.

Morgy's scrapbook page. Karen's printer. Her dog needs to learn how to drop clothes into the hamper. Scrapbooking. Morgy's new signature. (We like it!) Kerry and DS make Magic Cookie Bars for us. Allrecipes.com -- the one with one can of condensed milk and no butterscotch chips. Yummy yum yum. BZ is researching St. Patrick's Day. Sick child empathy.

Norma educates us:

I think most people in Ireland see Paddys day as one big piss up! We have parades all right but the small local ones can be pretty boring and the crowds at the city ones worry me with little kids.

Sharra approaches 8,500. Medical chatter, food and Flying Angel has no In-Laws this weekend!! Dr. Seuss. LOLcat in Outer Space. Noco's knock knock joke. Chuck Norris jokes. Noco gets forwarded to the fake anti-virus spam ad.

Another Shameless Backlog Part 2 - Happy Birthday Darla & BZ!

More tsking. Shameless notepaper. FlyCat poses quizette to Karen re : printer. We await Karen's replies.

Happy Birthday Darla! The big 4-0.

The dog in the dishwasher does not belong to Renae. However, her DD's "lovey head fell off" which resulted in an emergency trip to Build a bear. Renae posts pics and signs to alleviate her boredom.

Karen responds to quizette. We are ksted by MP : "I'm very proud of everyone...no posting for almost3.5 hours. What is the opposite of a tsk?kst kst kst kst."

1/2 of quintuplet toddlers sliding in oil on kitchen floor. MP's kids covered in coloured paint from head to toe. Norma's DS has a tummy ache and needs to be collected from school. Misty is soon to find out the date of her c-section. Snow. No snow.

BZ is nagged by RL. Lego is in a good mood today. Morgy posts info for Norma on how to put a link to her accountability thread on her signature. p. 2163 (Ed : Thanks Morgy, I might use this myself some day). Lego's pups are getting their pics taken professionally.

Morgy is still in her robe at 12:05 pm. However, her digital scrapbooking is looking great! Lego is still in a good mood. Her dogs love her even though she dances like....something "not pretty."

BZ returns to ask questions. FlyCat posts advice regarding technical aspects of printers. Lego still dancin' around to JT. Is it really BZ's birthday? Kerry has a Mom's Night Out to go to. More printer talk. Misty posts cute 4-d ultrasound of her baby. She is having the baby on 30 March.

Abby asks how many countries are shamelessly represented. Jo's Abbie has a cute new haircut. Kristi is cleaning before her DH gets home tomorrow. Melbgirl and Kristi rapid click their way to shamelessness.

Happy Birthday BZ! It really is her birthday and she's 29 today!

Instruction manuals aren't meant to be easy to understand. FlyCat : "It's strange that the manufacturers don't understand that people are trying to USE their products." Main page of the forum gives BZ's age as 9. Simple mistake; BZ meant it to show 29.

Melbgirl now earns more laurels. Kristi has been Facebook stalking people she knew from high school. More about links. FlyCat studies. Kristi cleans. FlyCat reads Melbgirl's mind.

Another Shameless Backlog - shameless!

Misty is a fast typist and has worn several letters off her computer. Grandparents. Teenagers. Cleaning. School.

Karen saves money on DH's truck repairs. Misty overcharged by Electric company. Landlords could be related to mechanics. More mechanics.

Luvinlocks lands in Shameless for her first post. wOOt.

Karen posts recipe.

"I went back to look for the recipe. It was posted by "CoastieNC" in the Never Fail Crockpot Recipes thread in the Kitchen Forum. Here it is (just copied/pasted from her post)."

Crockpot BBQ – North Carolina style, vinegar based BBQ pork2 tbs. brown sugar1 tbs. Paprika2 tsp. salt1/2 tsp. pepper1 boneless pork butt or shoulder roast – I use about a 3-4 pound one and that makesenough for plenty leftover1/4 c. cider vinegar (I use a little more)2-4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce1 ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes1 ½ tsp. sugar1/2 tsp. dry mustard1/2 tsp. garlic powder – I use more1/4 tsp. cayenne pepperCombine brown sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper and rub mixture over roast. Place in crockpot, sitting it on top of about 6 foil balls to hold it out of the liquid (original recipe said to brown first but I never do that). In a bowl, combine vinegar, Worcestershire, pepper flakes, sugar, mustard, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well. Drizzle half of vinegar mixture over roast. Cover. Cook on low 10 hours or on high 6 hours. Remove meat. Discard juices. I put meat on a large plate and remove any fat, most of it melts off during cooking. Shred meat with two forks if desired, or just pull apart. It is falling off the bone tender. Use remaining vinegar mixture to drizzle over when serving. In our case, I make a double batch of the sauce and put half in during cooking and save the rest for serving.I usually put this in the crockpot before we go to bed – high for a little while then turn to low before I go to bed – and let it cook all night. Then in the morning remove the meat. Most all of the fat in the roast melts away during cooking. Cooking all night gives more browned edges too, more like real BBQ. After you shred the meat, if you stir in more of the vinegar sauce and let it sit for long, it really spices it up! Might want to try just adding it when you serve it until you see how you like it.I usually buy the boston butt that is about a 7 pounder, and have the butcher cut it in half for me and package separately so it fits easier in the crockpot, and it makes plenty.

Roberts and Jeremys. Abby asks : "How do we keep the riffraff out?" Ironing. Misty has consult and ultrasound on Thursday. Keys.

Morgy attempts digital scrapbooking. Chocolate. Melbgirl forgets to pick up son from kindergarten. Pledges to be more shameless until Kerry points her in the right direction.

Quotes :
Kerry : "The non-shameless wouldn't understand our devotion to this world."

Lego : "ZOMG is just like omg but lolified."

Sharra also admits to leaving DS at day-care in September. Kerry : "I only forget my kid on purpose."

Sharra manages a quick change on another thread which almost leads to Kerry making out of context and risque comments. MP claims ownership of blog. Kristi changes avatar. MP removes cloak of invisibility. Noco changes appearance also. It's a hOOt. FlyCat says it's Days of Owl Lives.

Is MP naked again? More nakedness. Kerry gets sucked into a thread and bypasses a good book. Cute pineapple boy reappears to magically take us to Hawaii. Temperature conversions.

Jo : "Do you all think I can hit my post #2211 on pg 2211? I'm gonna got for it. Do I get like a special prize for doing it?"

Karen's printer hates her. Coffee saves Lady Myst's kids. Morgy forgets to save work and loses while in Photoshop. Renae really just wants to be shameless. (Ed. Don't we all?) Norma's line at work is closed and she will be off work for 3 weeks. The upside is that she will get the house clean and be shameless at the same time.

More printers. MP tsks. So does Kristi. Kristi hits 5000. Misty hits 1000. Another VP. Congratulations to you both. Misty's raging hormones.

CHEATERS NEVER WIN!!!

Osteo-arthrits. Try gluclosimate. Or glucosamine. Get some exercise. Weight training can help, even if you use canned veggies or 2liter soda-pop bottles filled with water and your kids make fun of you. Check out the Mayo Clinic website. It has nothing to do with sub sandwiches.

Ironing.

Australia is having a windy autumn day.

Ironing.

Robber who wants to be a cop.

Sharra irons too much.

When this was taken, Renae was wearing pink leg warmers and pink jelly shoes. Gnarly.

BZ shovels for 2 hours and burns major calories.

More broken records aka cheating.

Meg has her eyes on BZ's rainbow again!

Morgy's cute baby!

This is old but it bears repeating:

FCB's brain now relates everything in the world to:
A. The Shameless Thread
B. Computers
C. Food
D. All of the above
The answer is D, of course!

FCB scares away our guests with her theories about who they are. Abby is one of them. We know Kris is one sometimes at lunch.

Questions about the components of portable computers? Ask FCB, she should be an expert by now.

Medium makes Kristi jumpy when she has no adult company.

Sharra's kids have returned from the Child Swap thing and are amazing their mother with their swish and swipe skills. Lucky woman!

Lego does her VP job well, posting loldogs and encouraging us to opt to adopt.

Hi, Abby! Thanks for adding shamelessness to your schedule. W00T!

Kris is busy with report cards.

AJ cheats to get a higher post count. Apparently we don't get a lot of Australian guests, as she reports that the thread is lurk free when most Americans and Canadians are asleep.

MessyMoo pops in. She feels ill. Feel better soon!

Misty awakens to a peaceful house, although her cat is mischievous. Good appt with dietician yesterday. Hooray!

Booby-trapping the fridge is not cool. Sharra is handed the Bat of Male Understanding after the milk spills everywhere thanks to dh.

Karen is subbing today. It's a good gig, as she can spend most of the day on the computer. She posts lovely spring pics while I seem to ignore her. I wasn't, I just hadn't caught up yet. Sorry, K!

Shameless Backlog

Subway. Goldfish. Temperatures in Canada. Canadian Tire microcloths. Snow. Teenagers showing maturity. Snow. Karen gets shamelessly paranoid. Kerry has kept two out of three free fish from a fair alive. LadyMyst's DD wakes her up too early then takes a nap. Her DS runs on at full-speed. The secret party comes out of hiding.

Karen:

"Other threads are boring: all about cleaning and challenges and stuff. Yuck."

It's Joey time! (He's a rock star!)

Kerry as Shameless Headquarters Dispatcher:

"K Ken 10. Do you read me? Go put away some cds or something. Roger roger. "

Green Eggs and Ham. Tom and Jerry. Homework. The Hopes in the Saturday cleaning thread. Morgy has breakfast. Does the Male with the Red Roses need all of them? Abby is shameless, but solo -- not even any lurkers.

Saturday at the M Household:

Kerry's tile project is grouted and drying. DS is working on art without a plan. He reads well (maybe a junior librarian!) DH is grouting in bathroom.

Sharra sleeps in but she's still tired. Abby has a mean female chihuahua and realizes how addicting shamelessness is.

Morgy on the term WOOT!:

Depends on the type of game and age of the wooter, it can either be spelled "woot" or w00t". Tends to happen more in the MMORGs (Massively multiplayer online roleplaying games), such as Everquest, Ultima Online, World of Warcraft, even Star Wars: Galaxies:)

Proper usage of the term can be "Woot! I used my uber bow and owned that dragon!", or if they are younger and/or immature, it would be, "W00t! J00 gotz pwn3d, d3wd!"

Renae brings us a giant Girl Scout cookie. (See post 42068.) She has 300 boxes of these to deliver. We're going to an 80s-themed party with her. We give her our old clothes.

It's the first day of Autumn in Australia, aka Melbgirl DS' birthday. Karen works on her "deal with it later" pile. LadyMyst throws us chocolate bars and requests ice water when she's dead. Kristi throws us LOLcats and Darla's Corndog (see post 42113).

Talking on the phone and being shameless do not mix. Conan as the Chocolate Man. FAIL photos. Post 42145 on order for the Children of the Corn. See Post 42149 for Gift of True Love for your DH.

Denny's. Baby goods. ShamelessLite was 40 pages behind on Saturday night. Kerry's case study continues. [Editor's note: I hope it's about ShamelessLite!] BZ recommends the Neti Pot.

Karen's van may get fixed soon. Sharra has a fender bender then gets lost on the way to a party with bitching children. Morgy gives her tea. Morgy's Frog Shirt. Indian food. People at computers too long, not wanting to clean their houses. Brothers and Sisters. Frogs. Kristi asks if we've kissed one. Wal-Mart. Fridge spill. Rain. Laundry.

Darla has her eyes closed. [Editor's note: Where did she go? She was right here a minute ago.] Kristi adds shameless clutter.

Kristi:

"I'm going to reach 4900 all alone. Yall all better have spotless homes."

Brothers and Sisters. Morgy shamelessly clutters the thread. Flying Angel shamelessly clutters the thread. Canada has a heat wave -- 12 below 0 C. Texas goes from 80F to 30F in two days. Sharra can't Can-can. Canada vs. California vs. Iowa. Climates. Weather. WebDude, but it's not about porn.

FCB scares everyone away from the Shameless Thread, even the lurkers.

Medical chatter. Good mornings. Kerry thinks we're productive and turns in her paper online. BZ was Can-canning and shoveling snow. Flying Angel's DS is clingy. [Editor's note: Maybe she wants to post shamelessly, too.] It's 80 degrees in New Mexico. Morgy hasn't aged in 15 years. Karen whistles at her.

Kerry:

"I cleaned for an hour.
I took a shower.
I'm watching stupid Rock of Love.
The best thing to do that I could think of.
In 1.5 hours ds will be home.
Think I'll write out homework instead of a poem.

"

Sharra needs to iron and have chocolate. Frog Ballet. Chocolate Frog Cake. Chocolate Frog. There's a Club for people with Invisibile Diseases.
