A Thread for Estela

when i was in elementary school (maybe 2nd grade?), i continuously bounced on my pogo ball from my house to my elementary school and back one weekend. i'm not sure how far it was. and i actually just went on google maps to find out how far. it seemed like much longer when i was a kid, and it's only actually about a mile round trip. but still. also, wtf the city has google street view! but seattle still doesn't. it was a trip seeing my old house though! this has also provided a brief but solid way for me to procrastinate.

this is a pogo ball for those who don't know:

omg <3<3<3 to all of you.

your mother in law is french?

your husband is curiously multi-national

my mother in law is a big bag of trouble but (and) i <3 her.

my father in law is mexican, also <3. he tells me secrets, some of them are quite astonishing.

the blood of how many countries is running through your husbands veins?!

how many is france and mexico and usa.

i'm glad you're not posting as Uncle Shavedlongcock while you discuss his veins.

3

is how many

3 veins...how do u know that??

*smdh*

estswella

sweat sell

i've gone off veins as a word except when preceded by leaf.

even then

leaf veins sounds pale green and delicate.

thank you for your consideration.

dearest estela,

did you figure out why you got the red subscription note at the top of itr?

love,
lxy

dear lxy,

no i didn't.

<3estela

dearest estela,

did you accidentally subscribe to a daily email from robot?

xo
lx

probably, though if i did i never received it, which is good because the unhelpfulness of itr might have saddened me.

^dear lxy

as an experiment i subscribed (today) to a daily email from this board. it was sent at 4:05 pdt, and you posted "i just clicked on this board..." at 4:10, so the timing makes me wonder.

being an archivist at heart, i am going to maintain my subscription.

estela, what will you be having thanksgiving dinner?

for?

estela, what will your thanksgiving dinner consist of?

reading that, it seems like you'll have to eat a picture of john howard

if thanksgiving isn't till may, why do you have to rush to put the tree up now?

i think she's trying to be all accommodating and shit for her husband

oh well then it's because she's nice!

i just read him your posts and he said 'shush'. (xp not your post lxy)

our friend is moving to new york and she loves thanksgiving so we're doing it for her before she goes.

i've never heard of that australian thanksgiving, it looks shit.

so what's for thanksgiving supper? i am interested in knowing.

and tell your husband "just a bit of fun. be cool"

it's me he was shushing, he was trying to sleep at the time of reading.

we'll have turkey, garlic mashed potato, gravy, stuffing, cranberry, vegetables, salad. i have to order the turkey soon because fresh turkeys are usually only required here at christmas, last year i had to get a frozen one and it didn't defrost on time, it was annoying.

and we'll have pumpkin pie, and probably fresh berries and gelato, it's summer here.

last year we had our thanksgiving on the saturday and it was election day here and john howard lost everything, it was very great.

your thanksgiving dinner sounds awesome and i wish it was in front of me right now

i wish you would be there dressed in your santa suit.

that's what all the ladies say

ho ho ho

this morning f. was walking our dog and he saw this mean neighbour of ours and her terrible little angry dog and the dog was jumping up at f. and she said, 'it's because you're eating a banana, he loves bananas, can he have a bit,' so f. broke a piece off and the dog scarfed it down and then the neighbour lady suddenly lunged at the banana and dug her fingers right into it to get more for her dog. f. was taken aback, he threw the rest of it in the trash.

lol!

last week i saw her angrily waving a tennis racquet at some birds, she looked demented and the birds seemed bored, they flapped around a bit then landed back where they'd been at the beginning of the row.

is she a tennis player in addition to being completely crazy and awful?

i know she is a golfer, i'm not sure about tennis.
the truth of the matter is that we sort of enjoy her. you can see her frown from 500 yards away.

i bet you make good stuffing

lol
