On the bright side, I can snap my jeans shut now. Who needs Weight Watchers when you can have listeria instead?
Actually, after gnawing on half a toasted bagel this morning, I still feel sick. It occurs to me that, if I up and die, this blog will be the only extant record of my thoughts and feelings, the only indicator that I once walked through and communed via the Internet. Maybe excerpts should be read at my funeral. Feel free to suggest which posts would be most suitable.
Is death funny? Discuss.
Whose 14-year-old technical assistant taught her how to use Microsoft Paint to make a slashy-sign thingie? Who's not very good at it yet? And who prides herself on knowing the all-important difference between whose and who's?
Hint: The answers to #5? They are all the same.
Jennifer would never joke about death. For morbidity-free Quick Takes, visit Conversion Diary!

I have a cantaloupe sitting in my fridge too, taunting me. I can't throw it out until it starts to grow some grey, fuzzy stuff and actually LOOKS like a listeria breeding ground.
ReplyDeleteOooh, good idea...
ReplyDelete#4: Have you heard of the Darwin Awards?

ReplyDeleteHa, ha! Funny you say that, because just a couple of hours ago I texted a friend to let her know that our rapidly-spiraling-out-of-control park playdate was going to kill me, and I wanted it known that I want Tupac played at my funeral.
Glad you got the image centered! Sorry I couldn't have been more help. No idea what was going on there.
So close! You're in the top 11 (if there is such a thing).
ReplyDeleteI've been avoiding buying cantaloupe, and I think you just reinforced that...
oh the melons...reminds me of the bacteria scare we had in europe a few months ago (ok, it may have been in spring...can't remember).
ReplyDeleteeventually it was concluded that cucumbers and tomatos were safe but i still had a very upset tummy every time i ate them.
on the whose and who's - i'm a non-native speaker so i drool over how native speakers use these and similar words interchangeably (think your vs you're and their vs they're vs there)
congrats on knowing which one to use in what context!!
My husband keeps buying cantaloupe because he doesn't watch the news. Or maybe because it is grown locally. Maybe you should come visit me? Assuming we're both still alive, that is...
ReplyDeleteWill you bring real bagels?
I had no idea about cantaloupe. I can't stand the stuff, but the kids love it, so I give it to them. Is it just cantaloupe? How about honey dew? Is that safe? Geez, aren't you glad you're not pregnant? It was exhausting, worrying about stuff like listeria while pregnant.
ReplyDeleteWe used to get the best bagels from a Jewish bakery in Providence. It's closed now, and we're stuck with the gluten-free kind anyway. I don't eat them. I'd rather have no bagel at all.
Hi! My name is Anne and I just found you on Circle of Moms. I'm on it too but not sure if I'll make it the last few notches to top 25. Anyway, I also have 6 kids and 1 husband, so I'm just about as boring as you. I really like your blog and look forward to coming back to explore. Pop on over to say hi sometime! I'm at http://bringingboryahome.blogspot.com. Have a good one!

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I'm out here on the western edges of civilization with you and I'm so jealous of the NYC bagels that I've forgotten my concern for your imminent death. When you feel better, eat one for me.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're still alive to read that I think this is a very funny post. :)
