To me Saxby Chambliss sounds like a nice after dinner drink…or maybe something yummy served in a champagne flute.

Oh, I wish I were an angry lil’ squid
Yes, I wish I were angry lil’ squid
I’d go squirty, squirty, squirty, and make the ocean dirty
Oh, I wish I were an angry lil’ squid

Oh, I wish I were a little baby seahorse
Yes, I wish I were a litte baby seahorse
I’d go neigh-y, neigh-y, neigh-y, as I frolicked in the wavies
Oh, I wish I were a little baby seahorse

Oh, I wish I were a bout of diarrhea
Yes, I wish I were a bout of diarhea
I’d go squirty, squirty, squirty until all your chones were dirty
Oh, I wish I were a bouth of diarrhea

On the rice cereal: move on to oatmeal and try giving it to her not in the bottle. (I’ve read a bunch of negative stuff about putting it in the bottle anyway) Just an idea. The rice might be the usual starter, but I’ve heard of more and more kids lately having poor reactions to it.

And on the post for for the following day – the comment about “I wouldn’t be able to handle that” – I know it probably came out to you badly, but I doubt that’s what they meant. I’m sure they were going for more of a “You’re so incredible” sort of comment. I can totally see myself making that comment to you, but I never would have intentionally insinuated that you were callous. :)

Our kiddo had an awful reaction to rice cereal (more in the gastrointestinal vein) and we never tried it a second time. He has gone on to eat almost everything else without batting an eyelash or a tube of butt paste. I would not be afraid to discontinue it and try something else.

Love the “Saxby Chambliss” greeting. Should make those who miss traditional greetings melt with seasonal joy.

Anyway, onto my it’s-a-broken-record-topic: my kid is a poster child for rice allergies. Then again, she’s a poster child for everything allergies. I’m sorry that Simone is going through this, though. While misery loves company, I’d prefer that we had no company in this (or any allergen-related) case.

Seinfeld made a career out of nothing. At least your “nothing” is interesting and fun to read (I’m not a Seinfeld fan). You have a fascinating way of looking at life. I’m glad you’re back (or rather, still here). And there is NOTHING wrong with bullets. Look up Herb Caen – he made a career out of bullet items.

A couple of days ago you posted that yeti/pinguin game… so of course I checked it out and got hooked. But then the link stopped working, so I went searching and found this: https://test.yetisports.org/ Talk about lovely time wasters!

My mom used to care for a lady who’s exclamation of wonderment was “Well, Heavenly Days McGee!” Saxby Chambliss totally reminds me of that.
