Friday Fragments, Episode #122


Wow. 122 Episodes of Friday Fragments?! That's something like 600+ random thoughts I've unloaded in the past few years, and that's only on FRIDAYS!   Thanks for putting up with me through it all :)

***

At first, I was going to apologize for prematurely posting my Friday Fragments post, but then I decided that if I put it up now, I can allow anyone else to link up early, too, and not worry about getting to it on time tomorrow night. Here's hoping you have a lot to be thankful for today :)

As I draft this particular fragment (Wednesday night), I am suffering from horrible itching, due to my wearing a new shirt and track outfit (Hey, quit laughing!I might exercise again some day!) without washing it first. I will never, ever, ever do that again! I am covered with hives and am scratching more than a wool-underwear-wearing hemorrhoid sufferer! (Come on, antihistamine, kick in!!) 


(I have to credit Mr.4444 for that gem of a simile there; but, for the record, I'm pretty much just scratching my arms and legs.)

I'm starting to fear that some Chinese guy is trapped in a hostage situation somewhere in Blogland, and I, his apparent only means as escape, keep deleting his cries for help. Every single day, he uses Anonymous to post at least one comment (in Chinese or some other Asian language, I presume) on my Sweet & Spicy Pumpkin Seeds recipe on Mrs.4444 Cooks. So far, I've resisted the urge to translate the gobbledygook, but what if?

We're prepping for a houseful on Thanksgiving, so I'm keeping this short. Thank you for being one of the many people I have to be grateful for in my life :)  Have a Happy Thanksgiving if you live in the U.S., and to you Canadian's out there, Happy Belated Thanksgiving! To the rest of you, come on over--There's going to be plenty to eat! :)

  3. So sorry ya had the itches but so glad the mystery is solved!

    Last week I had a poet (in both English and Spanish)who wanted to 'share'...I left him up.

    This week I deleted a long rant and rave about store practices, government and life in general...gone! Trashed it...just sayin! :o)

    God bless and enjoy your Thanksgiving sweetie!!!

  5. Been there, done that. I always wash new clothes before wearing them.

    Enjoy your holiday and family, and remember to eat, eat, eat.

  7. I almost missed this posting. I got my FF post ready and I did a quick check and saw the toy post and thought you didn't put the FF one up yet. Good think I looked down to the other post.

    Some of the chinese comments have links in the them so I consider them just spam.

    Happy Thanksgiving.

  8. Oh I hope your itching stops soon...I was itchy the whole time in the hospital getting my gall bladder out because morphine makes me itchy. They kept giving me Benydryl with it..interesting!
    I hope you had a great day..we were full of cuteness and love!

  10. I get the same message from that Chinese guy. I ran it through Google's translator and it reads, "Hello, round-eye blogger. Thank you for American nuclear secrets."

  11. Eek! I never wash clothes before I wear them - perhaps I should start :-) I hope you feel better soon and that you had a great Thanksgiving!

  12. How was your Thanksgiving? Are you feeling better now from the itching?
    That is such an uncomfortable feeling to have to scratch and in doing so you only hurt yourself.

  13. Oooo yeah... I dated a guy once who had a huge issue with that. Once. Only. He was miserable.

    And I'm sorta tempted to see what the translation comes out as. C'mon - share it with us!

  14. Same Asian guy keeps posting on my blog too! Although when I tried to decipher the message, I'm pretty sure I understood the words "rolling pin" and "jello"...little scared now, I won't lie...
