The other day I was making oatmeal in the microwave at work.
(If BB was here, he'd interject, "But they sell oatmeal downstairs now. You don't have to bring it from home.")
And I thought, "They have yogurt in a tube. It's called Gogurt. Why isn't there oatmeal in a tube? They could call it 'goatmeal.'" And then I wouldn't always be scrounging around for a spoon.
Yeah, most people would think that's gross, and the name makes it sound like there's goat in it.
Then I set my oatmeal aside to cool off and made a reference to the Three Little Bears, and asked my co-worker Audge what porridge was. And she said, "It's the fairy tale version of oatmeal." And she's pretty much right.

I should be loading more photo's to that page as I have had more done as it is a work in progress my only advice is make sure you pick something that has true inner meaning for you body art is a very personal tribute to your skin
So you Americans call porridge oatmeal? How odd! Of course it is made out of oatmeal . It's like calling bread flour.
Just kidding! Vive la difference!
Michele sent me.
I'd be worried about the oatmeal drying up as hard a concrete. Dry oatmeal is impossible to clean up.
do you believe in love at first sight?
If so, I am in love with your cat!
GOATMEAL!! I spit out my water with that one!!! Love it!
Just catching up on everything and I'll post more comments later but I HAD to say something about this now!
Glad you're out of the hospital.
