I laugh at inappropriate (to others!) times as well. This is a family trait that we here have just accepted as normal. :)

Grapenuts.....neither grapes nor nuts.....discuss.

I laugh when I'm embarrassed which makes me look even sillier. I love my xm radio. The Comics Curmudgeon (http://www.joshreads.com/) has a lot of fun with FBOFW.

I'm totally with you on FBOFW!

Apparently you aren't the only parent immature enough to laugh at the "exploding" - I just spit a very icky mix of coffee and granola bar on the keyboard.

I feel better knowing that a classy mom like you giggles at the farts too.

AND OH MY is that Anderson McHotty Cooper in your sidebar....now I'm drooling!

Gawd girl you had me and the Mr. dying with that explode line! Good stuff ;)

I am a total FBOFW fan. LOVE.IT. Now I know I ma in good company

: - )

Grape nuts are probably stale when they're not crunchy any more.

Or, maybe you could look at the expiration date on the box. On second thought, that probably won't tell you a thing.

and I like Barry Manilow too.

Oh yes, when death arrives is when everybody comes bearing gifts -- dead-fat casseroles, cinnamon rolls. I am on a campaign to get them to just send the money.

Long time reader, first time commenter (I think it's my first comment, I can't remember, but I've always wanted to say that). We met at the WKRN meet up a while back.

Anyway, my theory is that Paul and that girl that moved into Elizabeth's apartment up north are going to rekindle their friendship and it's going to turn into romance, because Paul was iffy about the transfer south anyway. Then Liz will be heartbroken and Anthony will be there to comfort her and she's end up adopting the kid that that bitch Therese never wanted anyway and it will all turn out hunky dory neat as a pin.

Just my thoughts, anyway.

I keep waiting for Mike and Dee to buy the Patterson house. I'm so sick of their neighbors.

I love Barry Manilow and am not ashamed to say so.

What's wrong with some Barry?

It's not immature to laugh. It would be TOO mature not to! heh

I joined Curves the month b/f dad died. I gained 10 pounds the month after he died (while still going to Curves). Gained 30 pounds by the time I quit, and used the new pregnancy as the excuse for quitting. (Not the fact that I was tired of paying for my butt to just keep spreading.) FINALLY reversing the trend 2.5 years later!

And thanks for th glimpse at Anderson. He is a beautiful man. ;)

So, I'm not the only one with a Barry CD in my car! Whew, that's a relief!

Barry Manilow??? Gah. I don't even want to know you. (Of course, it's too late for that now.)

LOL about the survivors..you gotta have humor to deal with life and death !

Grapenuts are never stale. They DO get nice and soggy after about 2 hours in milk, though...
You can never spend too much time in the 70's...

I love the 70s.

Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong decade. I know for sure I would have been a total disco queen, hanging out in some midwestern equivalent to Studio 54 if I had been born fifteen years earlier.

Hi,
I am an artist who just started my own website and I am trying to get the word out. I would like to offer every mom out there a chance to have a free mouse wall letter (http://www.wawallletters.com/mousewallletters.htm). I am giving away one personalize mouse wall letter reproduction every week until December 1 2006. All you have to do is fill out the form that tells me which mouse drawing you want and what you want the wall letter to say. The options are. First Name, First Initial, Birth Weight and Birth Date. I never sell or give away any of your personal information. I am hoping you will enjoy your wall letter and tell a friend.

Thank you,
Tansy OBryant

I think I that weekend in whatchima song best...

Throw out the Grape Nuts and go pee. Sometimes it is ok to eat the comfort food for a bit. The rest will work itself out.(Well, except the Barry Manilow but I wouldn't mention it beyond here.)

I definitely see the replacement teacher also becoming the replacement girlfriend. But I don't think Liz is ready to go back to Anthony (and be a stepmom) quite yet. Down the road, probably. Yeah, I love that strip and can remember when April was born.

And yeah, people bring all that food, so you've GOT to eat it, right? And it's not all veggie trays.

I am the reining queen of laughing at the wrong moment. I have even dubbed myself "the imappropriate giggler" and seriously considered branding it on a t-shirt to wear at all times as a warning to every fool dumb enough to fall down in front of me! lol.

I SO do not want Elizabeth and Anthony to get back together!! That whole thing is just a mess. I liked her with Paul, and I think that eventually she'll go back north to teach, because the family is so busy that she really won't see them as frequently as she thought she would. The question is, will Paul still be waiting for her...? I'm waiting for Mike to hit it big with a novel and buy the house from his parents.

If you don't go pee, you'll have an accident, and - well, this rationalization only works with toddlers wearing Elmo underwear, so I'll just leave it be. ;)

Hope you had a fun lunch with your buddies yesterday. Oh...folding laundry is one of my least favorite things. It usually ends up piled on top of the dryer, a chair, the kitchen table...well, you get the picture. It ain't pretty.

I love FBOFB! she is teasing us with liz/anthony deal. I"m on pins & needles as well.

and folding laundry? I"m all about the sorting, washing, and even drying. but I loathe folding, almost as much as I hate "putting away"..

30 commenters on your not being able to spit can't be wrong.

I, too, do not want Liz with Anthony! And I am so glad I am not the only one with an opinion about this very important subject! Also, I reject Anthony based on his looks--yes, I judge a comic strip character on looks alone...oh, and the fact that he has always been wishy-washy. Besides, Paul(a comic hottie) fell for Elizabeth the moment he saw her picture. Superficial like me? NO! Romantic! I'll stop now.

I really enjoy your blog...I have a radio talk show for women and a blog. I write a lot about my daughters. Do you want to check it out--darydayshow. and link up?

I have spent a lot of time (way too much time)in the past couple of days wondering about stale grape nuts.
Would you mind if I expanded on and posted about the topic on my blogsite?

Grape nuts are chewy and not so crunchy when they are stale. I know. Believe me I know.

Folding laundry makes my hands feel funny, so my husband does it.
FBOFW is one of the comics I have on My Yahoo page to read everyday. I've never seen another comic with so many people wondering what is going to happen next. I love it and hate the Sunday out of order comic.
Barry Manilow and I are tight. I've been to see him three times in concert and have about 20 CD's. I even drug my husband to see him once at the Fox theater in Atlanta. I LOVE Barry Manilow.
