    Well, Moff, you made me curious - so I Googled "on the fritz" to see where that slang term came from............and even though there is a lot of
    speculation - all of it falls through - and no one really knows where it
    came from. It is possible it is from the cartoon Fritz the Cat - but no one
    can pin it down positively to that.

    If anyone else comes up with something - let us know.

    Connie, regardless, sorry about your tummy -

    BBQ ribs and lemonade? Count me in.................!! (rum for the lemonade though!)

    Ugh, the IBS is torturing me. Could I get some fizzy water please?? That seems to help, sometimes.

    Don't know where that term came from gini but my family has used it longer than I've been around. It means things aren't working quite right. hehe
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Kind of tired of cranberry and soda and lime...how about switching that for LEMON?

    Connie and Gayle, I hope your tummies are better soon!

    I saw a small article somewhere about a certain antibiotic that helps certain kinds of IBS, but didn't read further. I'm sure your doc would know all about it.

    Happy 2011, everybody. May this year be the best and brightest for all of us!

    Still cold here, of course, and maybe more snow Friday or Saturday or ... so I'm not really in the mood for barbecue - anybody for a big bowl of chili? I so miss it in the real world, but am allergic everything but the tomatoes and onions in it, which just isn't chili!
