Reasons to make the O_o Face
There are times when you read, see or hear something that just makes you :o. This is the thread to share them on!
The other day I don't know where I stumbled on a thread discussing the Nancy Drew novels. I remembered how much I loved them and I did a little research...which led me to the original publishers, who also published the Hardy Boys and the Bobbsey Twins. All written by a cadre of ghost writers under cover names. Then I found a link to an audio book of one of the Bobbsey Twins stories, which I loved when I was a kid. I listened to it for old times' sake. The :o happened when the author described little Flossie-aged-four's collection of dolls, among which was a black Sambo doll given to her by the family's "coloured cook Dinah, and her husband the stableman, Sam." Who had "excellent rooms above the stables." They had given her this black worsted ragdoll (named Jujube) which she kept with her other dolls..."but apart, at the other end of the shelf, and with a nice piece of white pasteboard in between--because, well, he wasn't really family."
:o :o
The story goes on to state that Flossie had thought about giving Jujube away but didn't want to hurt Dinah's feelings; "and after all, as Mamma said, there weren't any doll hospitals for black orphan dolls."
No wonder the Bobbsey Twins books went out of fashion. Nancy Drew is still available today...but then there was nothing like that in them.
So, VWers, what made you :o today?
Today in college I got to turn on a GPS, walk outside with my class, write down our location, and come back inside and leave class. THAT WAS MY LESSON.
The kicker is, the people at my table got low Cs on our last test. Really? I know some people aren't strong in science but, this is middle school level education and middle school level work.
Something bit me in my office. Three times. It itched. I thought it was a mosquito.
It was a flea.
:o
Where did I pick up a flea? There hasn't been a pet in this house for over a year. Saul died over 5 years ago.
A flea? On me? :o
this review made me O_o a bunch.
This might be great for any kind of sauce. I love to eat this in breakfast, and I am entering into the restaurant ordering this kind of food. These are how many foods I eat. However, in this fried tofu, I am satisfied.
sorry you got flees Yabbit... but whatt??!?!!
English is not his first language. I would guess Chinese or Japanese.
He means, "This would go well with any sauce. I love this for breakfast and often order this sort of thing in restaurants. I eat a lot of dishes similar to this, but this fried tofu is even better."
:)>>> thank you Yabbit for being the translator, can i sign up for classes?
Haha, I love the original review. I'm going to use that last sentence next time I have some really good fried tofu.
i like the statement "These are how many foods i eat." none-the-less great review.
I have 3 roommates. Two of us share one bathroom. The other two roommates share another. I made the mistake of checking-out the other bathroom. My bathroom has never and will never look like this!!!!!

Josh: Put a Biohazard sign up on that door.
Sitting in the waiting room at the clinic yesterday I realised that not one woman of the several dozen present had their natural hair colour. All of us (including me) were dyed. Young and old. Some successfully so (because they had chosen something near their natural colour), some freakishly badly. But every. single. woman had dyed hair.
Yesterday afternoon I went grocery shopping and got home later than I expected. I dropped the shopping bags on the kitchen floor and was rushing around like a mad woman trying to get dinner going so Vincent could eat roughly on time (his dinner time is 6pm). Vincent was playing in the kitchen. I went to the fridge to get something, and saw that he had pulled a bunch of bananas out of the shopping bag, taken one off the bunch, and started eating it...with the peel still on! :o He was making the funniest face too, like "what is wrong with this banana?!" After we'd finished laughing, DH peeled it for him and he was much happier while eating the rest.
:lol:
Got home from running errands downtown, which implies bus travel, and discovered that there was a slit in my handbag, just under where the strap joins on. Not a tear, a slit. Clean-cut.
Someone tried to cut the strap while I was out. Something kept them from finishing the job.
The mideval profession of "cutpurse" is still with us.
DH tells me that when he was coming home from the GP yesterday he saw a woman on the other side of the street waiting to cross. A car pulled up, a guy jumped out, grabbed her purse, jumped back in the car and they roared off. Never made a sound. No threats, no nothing--just gone in 30 seconds or less.
jeez, yabbit, that's scary!! when we went to italy, they warned us about that kinda stuff. in napoli it was the worst. they'd get onto an extremely overcrowded bus, take everything they could and right before the doors closed, they'd jump out.
I am so happy to hear they didn't get anything yabbit and that you are safe. You probably don't even know where on your travels they actually did this, they are quite slick. be safe.
Holy moly, Yabbit. That's crazy. :o
But you know what's awesome?!! You went downtown. In public. No agoraphobia. :)

Oh Aggie never leaves me. But I make her come with. She's such a bitch I just ignore her most of the time.
