but my mom bake’s me pie’s and make’s meat for me to take home so I do NOT have to cook myself

Interesting, this highlight. I have a friend who recently gave up having reasonable conversations with a sister who is in her thirties, so there may be something to this? I probably started developing contempt and judgments around the time I realized that other people exist, not that I'm proud of that.

And Sam officially meets the parent's tomorrow. Freak out.

Yay! Kat!!! It’s Fruegel Friday already!!!! I love fruegel Friday’s! As for the OP, always treat your MOM right b/c she was the one that BORE you. Yes, mabye she is getting a little cranky and opinionated, but in a way, we all are in one way or other. It sound’s like you and me are around the same age — my mom is younger and I am probabley younger then you, but I expect that I am cranky to my mom, but my mom bake’s me pie’s and make’s meat for me to take home so I do NOT have to cook myself in my apartement.

Have a great Friday. Tomorrow, Sam is driveing me out to LI to eat with Mom and Dad, and Mom know’s he is a VEEGAN, so she is goieng to whip up a VEEGAN Salad. YAY!!

I sweated EVERY day even tho I did NOT even exercize much

When I lived in DC (I did for OVER 8 years), it was ALWAYS super HOT in August, so much so that I always LOST alot of weight by the end of September b/c I sweated EVERY day even tho I did NOT even exercize much when I was in college. By law school, I started to notice my tuchus, and some of the guys who wanted to date me b/c I did not have a steady boyfreind told me they would walk the toe-path every morning with me if I wanted. Unfortuneately, I did not want to b/c I had to study. One guy offered to study and give me all of his outline’s if I dated him, but I did not find him attractive. He was bald and had bad breathe, and looked a little like Dookie Houser. FOOEY!

So for the OP, don’t worry to much if it is hot now — by November it will be very nice and you can walk on the mall without any SHVITZING! YAY!

I can’t go out and find peeople on the street with WC issue’s

Ellen is serving up the classics today, no? Earlier we had the many-O'ed OOOOGEL, and now she's again putting the word "bodice" to dubious use. She's been doing this forever and ever! See here, here, and here.

SO MUCH is rideing on Dad's impression of Sam at this upcoming cookout. I'm not optimistic about his reaction to the veganism, but money can trump just about anything for Mr. Barshevsky and this guy, while no Paul McCartney, does have it. I suggest eggplant, portobellos, zucchini, squash, or to keep up appearances perhaps vegan veggie burgers/tofurkey hot dogs. UPDATE: Agree that silvercurls did a bang-up job on the response. If Ellen didn't see it before, hopefully she see's it now!

I love the color and the cut, but I can NOT wear slack’s in the summer OR TO COURT. And the optional skirt, with a tight leather bodice, is NOT something I could wear in the summer either. FOOEY b/c it is VERY cute and I will show ROSA. Even tho she does NOT work, Ed likes to have her dress formally so that he can take her out with his cleint’s — she is even more engageing then I am with new cleint’s.

On that score, the manageing partner says I need to get NEW cleint’s. It is NOT good enough that I keep getting NEW cases from my existing CLEINT’s — he says we NEED TO GROW. I agree, but we do DEFENSE work and that mean’s I can’t go out and find peeople on the street with WC issue’s. He want’s me to teach a CLE where there will be CORPORATE CLEINT’s there. He figure’s that if I talk about WC issues and these CORPORATE’s need us to do the heavy lifting for them, I can get hired. He is probabley right, b/c the in-house peeople usueally give the heavy stuff to us to do. We have to face the judge’s who are usueally VERY temperemental. We have to know how to handel these judge’s, not them and they are happy to just come to the court, even to sit quietely in the back while WE do all the talkeing. YAY!

Dad wants to meet Sam, and he told me to have him drive me out to the house on Saturday. He said he would grill up some steak until I reminded him that Sam was a VEEGAN. FOOEY!

So now, I have to ask Sam first what he would like Dad to grill for him. If anyone in the HIVE has idea’s please let me know, so I can make a good impression and have him MARRY ME! YAY!!!!

He will be the Turkey with the SUPERTUCHUS

I would have assumed MP tend's to carry any excess weight on his STOMICK, rather than out back, but perhaps around the holidays we will see.

Note the use of four O's in P. 1. Also, I want to know what the next plans with Sam are, if any.

Ellen :

Kat, this is a great selection, b/c I love Anne Klein! But the V neck could be a probelem with Frank, for obvious oooogeling reasons I will NOT get into here.

For the OP, I think you can do this as long as you are PREGENENT, and mabye for a few month’s after (Rosa did it till she lost the baby pound’s, but she was svelte to begin with), but I do NOT think you should go around WITHOUT buttoning your pant’s b/c you will NEVER loose the weight other wise, especialy the weight in your TUCHUS. Rosa used bella band’s b/c she never bought a big wardrobe, so I can NOT even ask her for her maternity thing’s when I get pregenent, which will be AFTER I get married, and hopefulley VERY soon. Rosa took about a month or 2 to get back to her NORMAL weight of 103. I am so jelous of that. I will never get that light. FOOEY!

Sam sent over a box of GODIVA chocolates, which I left out at Lynn’s desk for everyone to eat. The manageing partner says Sam want’s to fatten me up like a Thanksgiving Turkey so that other guy’s will NOT be interested, but I am NOT eateing that chocolate myself. The manageing partner ate about 6 pieces already, and I onley put it out this morning! He will be the Turkey with the SUPERTUCHUS for Margie, not me! YAY!!!!

a small Booteak firm

More on the antiquity of most of the set at Manageing & MANAGEING. Also, no surprise that MP plan's to hire his non-credentialed wife to trick out the new office after they move. But isn't he concerned about the local department stores she might notice while in town? He can't prevent her from setting foot outside during breaks, can he? $10k could go awfully fast...

At my law firm (which is a small Booteak firm by Manhattan standard’s), we have artwork on the wall from the 1940′s, I think. The manageing partner says he pay’s for it as part of the MONTHLY rent to the Landlord. When we move, he said he will consider comision MARGIE to do some decoreating, including wall poster’s and print’s and he says her price is VERY reasoneable. The other partner’s said if he want’s her to decorate, fine, but the FIRM should NOT pay for it b/c she is not a professional interior design person.

The manageing partner says he will ensure she does NOT charge more then $10,000 for her services, but this is NOT goeing well with the others. Personaly, I think I can decorate my OWN office, and get my own poster’s. I saw a MONET at the Met that I can get a print of (framed for less then $100). I would LIKE that, so I will tell the manageing partner to consider getting all of our picture’s from the MET, framed, at a fraction of the cost. YAY!!!

like Paul MacCartney (but w/o the money

We have the "mini-FOOEY" now? What with doubel, tripel, quadrupel, and super-FOOEYS, the gradations just keep gradating.

Most notabel here is that Sam apparently already know's about Grandma Leyeh's offer ($50k in the event that Ellen get's married and knocked up extremely soon). By my calculations, we're looking at an October 2014 deadline. Yet he is "amused"? Not "disgusted" or "terrified"? Yet more on the side of keeper for this one, say I.

Hug’s to you. I agree with your approach, tho implementeation by her will be difficult, b/c most alchoholic’s do NOT want to admit they have a probelem to begin with. This is sad, but I hope your approach works!

Alan never admitted he was a drunk, even when he was throwing up in my apartement, and when he was having difficulties in the bedroom. FOOEY on all of that now, but it is a side effect of drinkeing. He I think is still drinkeing, b/c I saw him downtown at a restrarunt with that girlfreind of his, and he had a bottel of wine on the table and he looked smashed. DOUBEL FOOEY.

Sam does not drink I do not think, so that is a plus, and he has manner’s that Alan never had. I still have to deal with that British accent — he kind of sound’s like Paul MacCartney (but w/o the money — mini FOOEY). He talked about haveing a family, so that is a good thing, and he was amused by my Grandma’s $50,000 proposition. I do NOT have alot of time so I should ask him over so Dad can meet him. Dad has been pushing for a while, so mabye he might like Sam. I am just not sure.

This sound’s to compliecated. I have ONE account where all of my money goe’s in and come’s out of. Dad manage’s it for me and he gets the statement’s for me and reconcile’s my account each month. This way, all I have to do is get an e-mail from him telling me how much money I have, and how much I can spend each week. Dad is getting a littel tired of manageing me every month; that is why he wants to palm me off on a guy who will MARRY me and do this so he can retire to North Carolina and teach at Duke. He also wants to re-connect with his old Service buddie’s down there, like the Kommendant. I think that guy was funny, but would NOT want to know what he has done for the last 30 year’s. FOOEY!

Good luck on manageing your money, but my advise is to keep it simple, and have your dad take care of it for you if you do NOT have a smart husband to do it for you. YAY!

There are VERY FEW Plane crashe’s

Ellen does often try to provide comfort.

I'm not going to humor this horndog by linking to the dirty story to which "she" alludes in the last few lines here, but if you want gross mental images of a young Mr. Barshevsky--I sure didn't--feel free to search this site for "GLAZNOST." Fooey.

I used to be afreaid of flying, but then I had to learn quick b/c the manageing partner put me on some out of town cases, and I could NOT take a train or a bus there.

So I learned quickley NOT to worry, b/c I talked first to the pilot’s about the planes and they were VERY acomodating. One even took me in the cockpitt, and showed me all of the device’s he used, and he said he was flyeing for over 20 years. Another guy said he would take me out for a drink WHEN (not if) we got there, and that made me confident he would get us there. So you should just take it easy and NOT worry about flying. There are VERY FEW Plane crashe’s. And those are cargo plane’s dad says. Dad knows all about flyeing also b/c he was in the service behind the iron curtain. I cannot tell all the stories I learned from the Komendant, or dad would skewer me. But they are VERY FUNNY (not to mom). YAY!!!!!
