Achoo!

Post by gadzooks » April 9th, 2010, 6:50 pm

Ironic...I never had problems in Atlanta, with its off-the-charts pollen counts, other than just there being a lot of stuff in the air. Up here in NJ, though, whatever we've got blooming up here is KILLING me. *snorgle* *snurf* *achoo!*

My allergies are so bad this year (and they haven't bothered me since I was in high school, decades ago) that I thought the title of this thread was Alcohol, not Achoo! =)) =)) =))

I read it the same way...but I have no allergies. Apparently I have a healthy does of dyslexia. Or beer on the brain. :D

I just realized that if you add two Ls to "achoo!" ....you get:

ALCOHOL!

And L.L. Cool J added to "achoo," can spell:

Cool! Alcohol, J!

For the record, not that any of y'all have any reason to remember this, odds are exceptionally low that there will ever be a thread about alcohol with my name attached to it, given that God willin' and the creek don't rise, I'll be celebrating my 20th sober anniversary in June. :p

I parked over a rain puddle in Troy NC yesterday. It was three inches deep and was yellow from top thru to the bottom. It looked like it could have been a scene from the aftermath of, for example, if Sylvester had finally caught and killed Tweety.

Congratulations! I'll add my favorite cookies to Tilly's brownies to celebrate - assuming you like coconut.

The cookies are called Chocolate Bittersweets - shortbread cookie, cream cheese/coconut/walnut filling, chocolate topping. Can you tell it is a Land 'o Lakes butter recipe. :D

I like coconut, too (my husband doesn't, so more for me! :D ).

:ymhug:

I guess that's true because if we had more roads and housing, there would probably be less trees. Great idea. :twitch:

Read the article; they're not advocating fewer trees, just pointing out that the type of trees favored by urban and suburban landscapers are pollen-riffic, and suggesting doing things differently. It's really very interesting, and I was never aware of the preference for male trees.

Weird tree rule: the Cottonwood is the state tree of Kansas. There are some parts of the state, including the city I live in, where you can't plant a Cottonwood tree.
