Yes I should have mentioned that sorry Barbie

LOL

We got so used to just having the four of us around for so long!

yeah...kinda forgot other people actually read what we post...lol...they always pop in and lurk....Galla has been the only brave one

Hehe..well here we go for bravery...(psst...Laureen thought you all might like this too) WARNING: Way off topic by the way...

Finally a Barbie I can relate to. At long last, here are some
NEW Barbie dolls to coincide with her and OUR aging gracefully. These are a bit more realistic...



1. Bifocals Barbie. Comes with her own set of blended-lens
fashion frames in six wild colors (half-frames too!), neck chain, and
large-print editions of Vogue and Martha Stewart Living.

2. Hot Flash Barbie. Press Barbie's bellybutton and watch her
face turn beet red while tiny drops of perspiration appear on her
forehead. Comes wi! th handheld fan and tiny tissues.

3.. Facial Hair Barbie. As Barbie's hormone levels shift, see
her whiskers grow. Available with teensy tweezers and magnifying mirror.

4. Flabby Arms Barbie. Hide Barbie's droopy triceps with
thesenew,roomier-sleeved gowns. Good news on the tummy front,
two-MuMus with tummy-support panels are included.

5. Bunion Barbie. Years of disco dancing in stiletto heels
have definitely taken their toll on Barbie's dainty arched feet. Soothe her
sores with the pumice stone and plasters, then slip on soft terry
mules.

6. No-More-Wrinkles Barbie. Erase those pesky crow's-feet and
lip lines with a tube of Skin Sparkle-Spackle, from Barbie's own line
of exclusive age-blasting cosmetics.

7. Soccer Mom Barbie. All that experience as a cheerleader is
really paying off as Barbie dusts off her old high school megaphone to
root for Babs and Ken, Jr.. Comes with minivan in robin-egg blue or white and cooler filled with doughnut holes and fruit punch.

8. Mid-life Crisis Barbie. It's time to ditch Ken. Barbie
needs a change, and Alonzo (her personal trainer) is just what the doctor ordered, along with Prozac. They're hopping in her new red Miata and heading for the Napa Valley to open a B&B. Includes a real tape of "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do."

9. Divorced Barbie. Sells for$ 199.99. Comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, and Ken's boat.

10. Recovery Barbie. Too many parties have finally caught up
with the ultimate party girl. Now she does Twelve Steps instead of dance
steps. Clean and sober, she's going to meetings religiously.. Comes with a little copy of The Big Book and a six-pack of Diet Coke.

11. Post-Menopausal Barbie. This Barbie wets her pants when
she sneezes, forgets where she puts things, and cries a lot. She is sick
and tired of Ken sitting on the couch watching the tube, clicking through
the channels. Comes with Depends and Kleenex. As a bonus this year, the book "Getting In Touch with Your Inner Self" is included.


Welcome to the "New" life of Barbie!

Yep....I was the model for #'s 11, 8, 6, 4, 3 and 2! LOL

Thinking they forgot to mention my barbie prototype...

baby got back!

And the spread of VB continues....you guys are sick. And funny. And lovable. Awwwww.....(barf)

kiss kiss...love you too....ummm...yeah...ok

hey...we try!

OK, OK. Thanks for the post. It was kinda funny, it just didn't knock my socks off. Although there have been other things that have done that which wasn't that funny, either. But I must admit, it was BRAVE to post it....

I didn't know Barbarians wore socks......

hmm...is he one of the kilt-wearing Barbarian types?? Wonder what else we don't know

hmmm...I believe he is the jester suit wearing barbarian....

It's called multi-tasking.

you wear the kilt over the jester suit? ...now this I gotta see...along with a tricycle joust

What a mental that is creating...egads! Now I really need a stout beer to regain my senses.

hey...pass me one...I'll join ya!

Who's driving you home? Got to have a designated driver.
Me I'm walking up 80 steps to the Garret so I'll have another please.

I like the Jester...lets name him Steve LOL...now you need one for Scott drinks moat*#@er

Would this be Scot and or Steve? and how about Galla or Andrew, I have mine all ready....
come to think of it which one are you right now?

geez....dunno.....got one that looks like VB? LOL ...The Viking can be Scott drinks moat*#@er...the Jester is Steve...Galla might want to be the witch...I think she is Wiccan...but I could be wrong. and Andrew.....hmmmm...no clue

I definately feel the role of the witch tonight...better than the cheerleader at least! And yes Laureen, you are correct.


(witchie-poo)

Morning Galla! Hey...sorry, really should not have spoken for ya...but I did mean it in a good way....I always say all my friends are "Witches and Weirdos" and I mean it affectionately....hell, I'm the queen weirdo LOL

No clue on how to depict Andrew ???!!! I can assure you Ralph already has three, which, when put together, describe my character very well. Ralph should know the main one, 'cos I use it often.
I wonder whether you can read the signs, resolve this prickly problem and get an idea of my character.

Byee

<------Andrew lol (because its called "smart")

I like it - but you're wrong. The clues are in my message.

hey, add this to your avatar and you have "The English Patient"
Sorry...couldn't resist!

Keep thinking about because your not even close yet.

darn

OK, I give...

So you've grasped the "prickly problem" about my "character" , but not entirely "read" it correctly.

Hey, but two out of three in two tries is pretty good.

ya know....I kept looking at the book guy......oh well, I gave you smart guy instead....LOL

I'm not that smart really. I might have collated loads of information and pictures, but that doesn't make me smart - just nuts !!!

But thanks for the compliment.

yeah...OK...I'm quite sure your IQ is right up there!

Yeah Right...who you trying to fool?
Well the nuts part fits, but that describes us all in this site to some extent or the other and me the most !

Ah...so Andrew is nuts and organized. LOL Now the truth is coming out.... close??

Really love the new icons btw...duncan!

oops...forgot these two also...

woman thank you, still have a few to upload and even more being worked on when time allows.

Hey all you Hawiian types...that means you too Galla....OFF TOPIC NOTICE

Are you like the bastard child of US politics? Do politicians completely forget that the US is made up of 50 states and not 48? Do they just run ads or something there? I don't recall ever hearing that a politician has added Hawaii to the campaign trail.

I think they would if it was an imporatnt state to win over. Hawaii has been a Democratic state since it's inception. Last Gubernatorial election was the first ever to have a Republican win office.
And already the Democratic machine here is plotting.... but check it out...not a big population. No major issues. But if ever there was trouble brewing in Asia that may affect US security, like Japan or China even, it may be worth it to come, but still a long shot. Yeah...We're basically human SPAM.

thats too bad....I don't think Alaska and Hawaii should be left out....I mean my goodness, at least make a visit there ....send the VP or the wife even...

Nah...they only come for vacation! And to refuel after bombing third world countries.

Steve about summed it all up there. Really I think the Hawaiians are pretty happy they don't have to deal with all the political bullsh*&% there. Life is just so much different and more family oriented than any other area I have ever been too. It is a very laid back lifestyle there too...where everyone is pretty much your "Sistah" or "Bro".

~missing the sandy lilfe....

aaahhhh...the tropical dream.....LOL

Yeah, yeah...the grass is always greener on the other side. It's kind of funny to see tourists who are brave enough to wander outside of Waikiki and the other 'tourist zones". They kind of look disappointed at "The Tropical Dream" you mentioned when they see things that they are trying to escape by coming here...traffic, road work, angry Somoans..... and then there are those who just pretend the whole state is like Disneyland.... "Escuse me...doesn't this bus go to Waikiki?" ""No, uh, you're on the bus to Waikele.....that's right. It goes to, uh, the Filipino Village attraction...no, they don't have McDonalds there. What 's to eat?...You can get really good dog though....."

Yeah, pretty much what Cleave said plus this:

Look, Hawaii is for vacationing. It LOOKS good. The mountains are green, the ocean is clean, sunny, warm weather blah blah blah.

The education system is terrible turning out people who cant live becasue they cant communicate or exchange with society.
The many cultures (also being undereducated) oppose eachother all too often.
Its overcrowded, expensive, slow and does not feel like the United States.

Come and vacation. Enjoy. Its great. If youre a East-coaster, or the type who wants to get things done, chances are youll go insane hacking through everyone elses slothdom.
Perhaps you have a higher patience level than I. My "society rage" has accumulated ove about 8 years or so - since i got more business minded.

I will want to return after I leave. but thats for surf and to escape cold weather. Not because a gallon of milk cost $6.50 or gas is $2.27 for reg unleaded.
Gatta say that contracting out here is nice, though...plenty people with bucks . Populace 1.3 Mil.

Galla, been meaning to ask you tthis: Do you know wht "Gallas" are? (pronounced Gah-lah's)


Perhaps you didnt hang around with the local crowd long enough to develop a Hawaiin pigon vocab'.
