Recipe for a Blog Post
Blogging, Fun, food January 24th, 2009This is a recipe for my world famous Serviceable Post. It’s what you get when I only have tidbits that don’t make real posts. Consider it the casserole of blogging.
Combine all ingredients in a word processor on medium speed and let sit. Time to prepare: 30 minutes. Serves everyone.
Ingredients:
1 observation: I have a new man in my life. His name is Brawny. I always thought Brawny paper towels were like Bounty’s little brother who always stood in its shadow. I was wrong. Thick and strong, these manly paper towels can stand up to any mess and then some. Brawny, I’m sorry I never gave you a chance until now. Forgive me?
1 question: Every morning when I get in my car to drive to work, I have to raise the rear-view mirror. When I leave work, I have to lower it. I’ve read our spines can elongate as much as an inch overnight while sleeping. I’m guessing this is why all the readjusting. Do you have to do this too, or am I the only one with a yo-yo spine?
1 celebrity sighting: A friend of mine got in line behind Paul Sorvino at the grocery store last night and got up the nerve to talk to him. She’s still kicking herself for saying she loved him in the TV comedy Still Standing. He’s thinking What? No Goodfellas?
A pinch of stupid: I bought a thin baguette at the store yesterday, still warm and crispy out of the oven. I carried it to the checkout register under my arm, it broke in half and the top part fell out of the bag and onto the floor in front of about twenty people.
A clerk was summoned to get me a new one and when he brought it over said with a wink "The crust is really crisp. Be careful." I guess my guns are stronger than I thought. Apparently you do not want to mess with me.
2 gloves: My husband’s had a cold for a week and is trying not to get his germ-ridden fingers on anything I touch. Thanks, dear. But isn’t it hard to type like that?
By the way, I’ve been downing Airborne tablets like I do whenever I’m around sick people. I know the FDA says it’s a crock of poo, but I haven’t had a cold in almost five years. Coinkydink? I think snot.

I’m all for a celebrity sighting! But sadly I know not who Paul Sorvino is – and I’ve never heard of Brawny. I must be living in the wrong country or something.
I’ve done the thing with the french baguette though, more than once! Usually they fall out in the car park so I don’t get a replacement, which is typical.
As to the Airborne thing, I bought a similar product at the beginning of last winter, thinking I’d avoid all bugs etc, but no. All it did was make my nose and eyes run as if I already had a cold, and it made my head ache too. Pass me the surgical mask and rubber gloves… I’ll do it that way! LOL!
January 24th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Nice casserole! I could never type with gloves on. Why doesn’t he just wash his hands before using the computer? What are Airborne tablets? I really don’t know.

Ohh, celebrity sightings. I love those. I see celebrities ALL the time. It does count if you see them on magazines, right? It’s the same thing cause they don’t know the pappirazzi are taking their picture most of the time.
Baguettes… mmmmmm. At least you got a new one. I would of been pretty bad if they made you eat the one you dropped.
January 24th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Moving into a luxury hotel for a week or so is also good for avoiding germs (I’m told).

Too funny your ideas about preventing a cold. I hope you don’t watch infomercials too???
I just keep my hands away from my face and wash my hands often.
January 25th, 2009 at 7:42 am
About the brawny…noted, but I like viva, soft and you can use it for TP if you happen to run out (so I’ve heard).
Baguette under the arm? I always use a cart (to hold my purse) but I’ll note that too, that would suck, especially with watching eyes.
Paul Sorvino? Okay, but I’d rather run into Tom Hanks. OOh, I hear he’s on FB, I’ll have to look him up.
Gloves on to type? I don’t let Hubby touch my laptop (he has 2 of his own to screw up)so I’m safe and have never used airborne, but have friends that also swear by it.
The yo-yo spine has me puzzled, never heard of it and never had a problem. I think someone is screwing with you.
Shelly’s last blog post..Yes, I am the Boss of You

I used to do something similar whenever stomach flu wandered in to my family (with six siblings, it was often). Since I’d rather do almost anything (including die) that throw up, the first time someone came home and puked, I’d stop eating and drink nothing but grape juice because my father said it had antiviral tendencies. In general, unless I was the first to bring it home, it worked. If I got it, I just felt miserable but kept everything down.
However, in hindsight, that might have nothing to do with the grape juice since I haven’t tried grape juice as a preventative in decades and I have thrown up since I was seventeen – which is more than 20 years ago.

I’ve got an answer for the spine thing (If your job is anything like mine)!
More than just your spine extending and contracting, it’s your work that’s causing the change. When you get out of bed, you’re well- (or at least partially-) rested and ready to take on the world. After a shift dealing with the tedious drudgery that is necessary to earn a paycheck, you’re ground down mentally, emotionally, and physically. It’s tougher to keep upright, and easier to adjust the mirror to suit you.
Short answer: Stop slouching when you’re done with work!

Snapping a baguette! I guess your arms are powerful – was this before or after the Wii?
As for the germs, I have a question…. What does Dave do with his fingers that would transfer germs – No, don’t tell me ;O)
Babs – beetle’s last blog post..Look what I got & Which doodle?
January 25th, 2009 at 8:44 am
Jaffer — Holy cow! That thing looks like a Frisbee! Did you eat the whole thing?
Jay — Sorvino is best known for his role in Goodfellas, but has a million movies and TV shows behind his name. I’m pretty sure Airborne is having a placebo effect on me. Mind over sickness maybe?
Karen & Gerard Zemek — He does wash his hands constantly, but he’s worried about that one germ that’ll sneak by. I figure I’m safe if I haven’t picked it up yet. Watch me wake up sick tomorrow. Oh, click the Airborne link. It goes to their website. It’s mostly made of vitamins.
Becca — It’s probably a sham, but somehow I’ve managed to escape colds for so long. Years ago I took Echinecea and got sick the very next day. Win some, lose some.
Cindy — Nope, I think he looks like him, too!
meleah rebeccah — Hot and makes good work in the kitchen. Can you ask for anything more?
Marinka — Oh, cool! He lives in the Poconos of PA now. What city were you living when you were in his building?
Chris Casey — Will Brainy towels help you remember to use them when you make a mess? As for the vaseline, I bet your keyboard was nice and soft afterward. I really must remember to wipe down keyboards with antibacterial wipes. Do you know how funky people’s keyboards are?
Regan — No, it does not. You must see them in the wild and then think of something witty to say to them that they haven’t heard a million times before. As for the baguette, the bread smelled so delicious, I ate a piece driving home from the store. Of course, I left a trail of crumbs because it fell apart from being so crispy. mmmmm!
Poetikat — At one point, I was going to shop for Dave (tissues, cold meds, etc) and drive by and whip them into the garage, then go to a hotel. Hey, I don’t want to get sick! Yes, the baguette could go nowhere but under my arm, as I had no cart with me. It was probably two feet long. Very unwieldy. Crunchy, but unwieldy.
Sherry at EX Marks the Spot — I like to think it’s what’s keeping me from getting sick. Five years without a cold is quite a record for me. And Airborne’s always been in the picture, so I’m putting two and two together.
Puglette — A-ha! I’m not the only one with a yo-yo spine. I know Dave’s not moving my seat. That’s like the cardinal sin of marriage. Never touch someone else’s seat adjustment!
Maureen — I’m guessing it does have to do with the slouching thing. Maybe we need new jobs that don’t make us feel so beaten down by the end of the day.
Alan — I’m particularly diligent about washing hands at work. Being in tech support, I have my hands on a lot of different keyboards throughout the day, so I always scrub when I get back to my office. I’m gleeful because we just got a new remote access software that lets me work on clients’ PCs from my desk, so the only funky keyboard I’m touching is my own in many cases.
Shelly — I’ve never used Viva, but now that I’m exploring non-Bounty options I may check it out. I grew up with Bounty and that’s all I’ve ever bought. I always think I can get through a store without a cart. This is not the first time I’ve dropped something because I was too stupid to shop like a normal person. Dave put the gloves on because I kind of gave him “the look” when he was about to lay his hands on the keyboard. As for the spine, see Stanley’s comment. I think that must be it.
Stephanie Barr — I have a vague recollection of hearing about grape juice’s anti-cold properties. Something about the flavonoids? I remember you telling me about your not throwing up streak. Keep it up, sista! I would hate to be there if you didn’t have a choice.
Stanley! — That’s exactly what a co-worker of mine suspects. We are so beaten down during the day that we’re hunched over and lose an inch or so. I shall try to unslouch myself after work. Might do me some good mentally anyway. Yeah, drudgery is making us all shorter.
Matt — I’m glad you liked it. I always feel a little guilty doing these because it feels like I’m not trying hard enough. But I’ve had a difficult week and this is what happens. Better than no post at all?
Babs beetle — Brawny has changed their packaging over the years. They don’t spotlight the lumberjack guy as much as they used to. Maybe he was a little too weird for paper towels? The arm that broke the baguette was my left arm, not the one I play Wii tennis with. So can you imagine what I can break with my right? I can probably crush diamonds. It’s so hard not to catch a cold from someone you share a household with. He’s especially concerned about me using the remote control after he’s used it. Maybe I should wear the gloves? It’s that or a hazmat suit.

Having strong guns is cool! But have you ever noticed that those extra-crispy baguettes turn stale and hard as a rock in about 2 hours?

I don’t know if Airborne work – it’s sitting on my shelf at home, but I don’t think the gloves will work. I may get the ones with the fingers cut out…would be good for work!

I drink Naked fruit smoothies to keep colds away. I always take an Airborne before getting on a plane, going to a doctors office, or if there is any chance I will be around a group of kids. I think it is sweet that your husband wore the gloves!
January 25th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Do I need to do all of those things for a post?
I’ve tried to keep most of my posts short and sweet as I’m under the assumption most of the readers suffer from A.D.D., and anything that takes more than a minute to read will confuse them. My recipe calls for a piece of bread, and nothing else.

I only need to adjust my mirrors and seat when my partner drives my car. We are about the same height, so I don’t quite understand that.
I believe in Airborne too. It has kept me healthy all winter, so far, knock on wood. I’ll usually start to get a tickle in my nose or a sore throat, I start taking the Airborne and that usually stops it from going into a full blown miserable cold. I don’t care what the FDA says either. Maybe it’s the placebo effect, whatever, I don’t care, it works for me and that’s what counts.

hey Kathy,
Here’s my attempt to keep the “theme” going with my “meatloaf comment” recipe…
Paper towels: Kirkland brand at Costco (their toilet paper is worthless though).
Rear view mirror: I have to adjust mine regularly too, but it could be because my wife is 5″ shorter than me.
Your Husband: is a saint.
Airborne: Have you been taking it for the entire 5 years you haven’t gotten a cold? I would do almost anything to stop getting colds. I tried mega-doses of vitamin C for a while, but it didn’t seem to help.

Daisy the Curly Cat — Yes, I’ve noticed, which is why we ate four feet of bread in a day and a half. It never got the chance to go stale.
Jaffer — Yummers! It looked good in the pic. Too bad no smellivision. I vaguely remember that episode. I pity Marge with a husband like Homer. Who wouldn’t want the Brawny man? Yea! I hit 500 subscribers yesterday. But who knows what will happen after I move my feed to Google. I might have no one left.
storybeader — I’m really bad with those select-a-size rolls. I never get the number I’m shooting for. Always too little or too much. I need a class. Try the Airborne as soon as you encounter a sick person. Can’t hurt, might help.
Swubird — Ah, thanks buddy. You’re right. I do have an eye for the odd. What’s amazing is that I’m not embarrassed to share what my eyes see. I figure most people have come to the conclusion I’ve lost my last marble.
Lin — “A wee ball of submission.” Couldn’t have said it better myself. I’m dreading another work week already. I typically switch radio stations a hundred times on the way to and from work. I think it’s the OCD in me.
Prefers Her Fantasy Life — That’s about as close as I get. I never get to meet anyone famous!!
Lee — Har! You’re right, I must be so beat at the end of the day. Hey, ghetto drug lord is a tough occupation!
beeker — Naked fruit smoothies? What the heck is that? OK, just looked it up. I don’t think we have them around here. Airborne is my magic solution until it shows me otherwise.
Jinksy — No, you don’t. You can be more creative than me and then you’ll have a real one. When I started blogging, I used to write extremely long stories. Can’t be sure, but since I’ve shortened them, my audience grew. It’s my little secret to keeping people reading. Have to remember just how many blogs people are trying to cram into one day. Shortening posts means I’ll be one of them.
Lola — Some day if I have enough money to get a fancy car, I’ll get one that lets you save driver seating settings. That’d be way cool. I panicked on Friday. Felt a tickle in my left nostril. Luckily, it was nothing. I think it is the placebo effect. If it has the same good results, who cares?
I-hate-colds Trade Show Guru Steve — What’s Kirkland? Never heard of it. Can it out-do my Brawny man? Yes, I’ve been taking Airborne ever since I heard about it. Years now. I know it has vitamin C and some other supplements. I swear, it’s a magic potion. FDA be damned! LOL. Glad TP and meatloaf didn’t get you moderated.
Babs beetle — Yes, I need the wipes. I just keep forgetting to buy them. But I have been Windexing everything.
Poetikat — It was basically a bagel. Just not round! You know, they say you can’t live on bread and water alone. Wanna make a bet? I loves me my crusty bread!

hi Kathy,
Kirkland is Costco’s house (generic) brand, that is the “name brand” for about 75% of the price. Usually it is high quality and good value… usually. Anyway, I guess you don’t shop at Costco…
Did you say “What’s Kirkland?” I think that’s like saying, “What’s a Big Mac?”
Probably a good thing.

PS. I’m going to go take some Vitamin C right now! And I’ll check out Airborne next time I’m at the store. Maybe there’s a Kirkland version.

I used to keep AirBorne around the house, as well. When my son got sick, I’d be gulping it down. He asked if he could have some, so–like you–I figured that it can’t hurt and might help.
He swears he was cured of his cold immediately.
Of course, at the time he also thought hanging mistletoe around his neck made him invisible.
I wish I was making that up.

I’ve never tried Airborne, but I did have a great success with Zicam a while back. I could feel a terrible cold starting, used the nose-swab stuff, and the next day I felt perfect. Just don’t try the rapid-melt tablets, they’re the most horrid-tasting things ever.

I’m always looking for a new thing to try out; thanks! I ordered a free trial of Airborne. I sure could use some boosting… I see that it was created by a school teacher, lol.
I love the gloves idea. I’ll have to make the kids do it. People NEVER touch my computer unless their hands are squeaky clean, and if they dare touch their face, they’re off to the bathroom to wash again. And even after all that, I still wash down the mouse and keyboard…

Came over from carolesthoughtfulspot. Good post. When I was newly married and in college, we of course had little money (since DW was the sole bread winner and supporting me through college). It was so cold in our apartment because we couldn’t afford to turn our electric heat on in the winter that I wore those stretch gloves on my hands while I was doing my homework on the computer. Yes – it’s difficult to type, but you gotta do what ya gotta do.
January 26th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
David — Oh, I fart too. Oh, wait. I misread that. Sorry.
Dorothy Stahlnecker — I’m waiting for the day when my doctor tells me I’m officially shrinking. “Casserole brain.” I’m stealing that.
Trade Show Guru Steve — Don’t yell at me. I don’t think we have a Costco! I’ve heard of them, but I don’t know where to find it! I freaked out today. I feel like I’m getting sick. I think I’m paranoid. We’ll see in the morning. If I’m sick, I’m rescinding my support of Airborne.
Don — Oh, I love that! Are you sure he wasn’t just hoping he’d get kissed all day long wearing mistletoe?
stinkypaw — True true! I don’t care either. As long as I’m not snotty and coughing, I don’t care what’s in it or not.
ettarose — On the way home tonight, I had to purposely sit up straight. I guess the job squashed me a little today. I would have stared at Halle Berry’s boobs, too. That woman has an unnaturally good chest. No fair!
dizzblnd — Yo. It’s the fo shizzle for sure. Whatever works!
Musing — No, your shirts are. I was a little squat today when I left work. Was a hard day, so maybe everyone’s right about what our jobs are doing to us. Taking years off our lives and making us shorter.
JD at I Do Things — I always thought Brawny was the cheapo brand, but they’re not! How did I get this old without knowing that?? Generic paper towels should be removed from the market. You wind up using two sheets anyway. Might as well go for Brawny man!
absepa — Don’t worry, my dear. You’ll be out of your writing funk soon! I’m rooting for ya. I haven’t heard of Zicam. Thanks for the tip!
Mrs. Mecomber — I hope you have good success with it. I drank a lot of it this afternoon because I had to work on a laptop that belonged to a woman who was leaking snot all over the place. She didn’t even have a tissue. Just used her hand to wipe her nose. I was thoroughly disgusted. I hosed myself down as soon as I got back to my office.
PaulsHealthBlog.com — One time I dropped a glass jar of spaghetti sauce. The splatter looked like a CSI episode. I was mortified. Eggs are good, too, though. Nice and messy! Never heard of Pops. I’m so glad for these recommendations. I’ll have to look for it.
Momo — I think you might be right. I was really squat when I left work tonight. Had to purposely sit up straight to see the mirror properly. My job is making me shorter.
Comedy Plus — Oh, man. What’s it gonna be like when I’m 70? I’m going to be one of those old ladies who can’t see over the steering wheel! Yes, of course there is a crowd. Nothing stupid ever happens to me when no one’s watching.

brooke — Paula Dean keeps the entire butter industry churning, I’m convinced.
Kevin — Holy crap. Sounds brutal. I didn’t have a lot of heat (or food) in my first years living away from home. Yes, you gotta suck it up, but years later I’ve never forgot the feeling of doing without. Makes me more appreciative for the simple things. Hope you’re not wearing gloves anymore!

No, I don’t have to readjust my mirror twice a day, unless my husband’s been driving the main car. I think you may be the only yo yo…

Princess Gail and I just finished watching a TV movie with Mira Sorvino. She must take after her mother, don’t you think so? Just saying.
“I think snot” made me laugh out loud!

I don’t care if the paper towels are made of recycled used toilet paper – I LOVE THE BRAWNY MAN! A year or so ago the Brawny website had these screensavers you could download and they had this one of the Brawny man in front of a fireplace. It was HOT.

I don’t have a problem of moving my mirror, it fell off some time ago and nothing will stick it back to the windscreen, not even superglue!!
Oh yea the Brawny guy is hunky

Ok- I’ll mess with you despite the fact that you are loaded in the guns department. Next time you break a baguette under your arm flex and or cup your other hand under your pit and make pit fart noises- in this way you will let the whole grocery store know not to mess with you because
A) You can break thin pieces of bread with your brawny (wo)man guns
B) They will not want to mess with you because they will now think you are mental after making pit noises
C) They are afraid you might snap on them like the plastic woman with your yo yo spine
D) All of the above.

Have you seen the latest commercials from the Airborne Lady? She sounds mad that she sold her business and the new owner wasn’t doing it justice.
January 27th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Our Mom’s been doing airborne every day since she started feeling like she was getting a cold. She likes the nighttime one that you heat up.
We’re sorry about your baguette, Mom would have volunteered to help you eat the leftovers!!

Mary at Holy Mackerel — I’m a yo yo in more ways than one.
brooke — It’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Ferd — I agree. She got lucky there. For the record, I think I’m getting sick. I have a weird cough, but not sniffling or sneezing. I’m trying to will it away.
amber — Not sure. I’ve been around two other sick people and now I think I have something. Just a cough, but it’s something.
Carole — Oh, man. I didn’t know Brawny Man was GQ material. I’d like to see the woman with that screen saver try to explain it.
Karen at Blazing Minds — How do you drive then??? Your head must be killing you all that turning around!
Michelle Gartner — LMAO! I think that’d be the first time any woman in history has ever made fart noises with her arm pit. I think it’s strictly a guy thing.
Karen — No, I haven’t (mostly because I fast forward through all commercials). Interesting. But she had to have made a lot of money in the sale. She should let it go.
Sniffie and the Florida Furkids — I didn’t know they had a nighttime one. I’m feeling a little sick this morning. Been around a few more sick people since the weekend. I’m afraid Airborne didn’t save me, although what I have is just a touch. Maybe it’s keeping me from getting a full-blown cold?
Gregorio — My friend said he was very friendly and chatted with her a little bit. He’s probably heard every Goodfellas reference over the years, but I bet he’s a good sport about it.

My father once ran into Bob Hope at an airport an actually said to him:
“You look so familiar to me. Where do I know you from?” when Bob said, “I don’t know” my father said, “Do I look familiar to you?” LOL I was so glad I was not there.
February 6th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
Jessica — Awesome. I’m sure Bob got a huge kick out of that. Hey, it’s more fun than what he probably usually got.

Wow. Now then I know what commentluv does. lol. I’ve been hearing about it but do not fully understand what is so good about it.
