2. That's it! I must think of a way to stop this madness. Cindi & veronica pose a threat to top 10 posters everywhere! Something must be done! Hmm....I think someone is going to have to "take care" of these chicks. <_<

1. Thanks for the heads up! I'll watch my back for Guido and his baseball bat.... Instead of broken kneecaps, I guess I have to worry about broken fingers... :P

2. Now I've started something.... Not only do I have ChunkyMonkey and Sarahkate on my posting heels, I'm over 130 posts behind current #15, Kittymao... Luckily, with her in school, I have a chance.

3. I just want to be in the top 10 for a minute... Then I'll stop the madness. I realize hopes of the top 5 are completly out of reach unless I quit my job and spout randomness 24-7 in Q&Q for MONTHS in order to catch up to Christine & Seusomon... :P

1. Oh, ok. I will tell Guido to back off. The guilt is too much, I want to see Cindi live out her dream of one day being a top 10 poster! ;) We will all have cake, ice cream, and balloons when the day comes.

2. Maybe Cindi is tired all of the time because she is anemic? I don't eat lots of meat so I worry that I might be anemic because I too am tired way too often. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning to go to work it feels like I haven't had any sleep at all.

3. I feel bad for James. I wish I was knowledgeable about computer programming so I could help him out. Poor kid! :(

[cindi1023]

1. Yea!! Cake and Ice Cream! :D Hopefully I'll reach my goal before the Great Diet of 2004 starts! :P

2. Maybe Cindi is tired all of the time because she is anemic? I don't eat lots of meat so I worry that I might be anemic because I too am tired way too often. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning to go to work it feels like I haven't had any sleep at all.

2. Nope - not anemic. That's one of the first things they tested me for. My iron is fine. I have symptoms of narcolepsy, but the doctors SWEAR I'm not narcoleptic. They say if I was, I'd feel rested after my frequent "naps."

3. I often have unexplainable medical issues that the doctors shrug off as "we can't figure out what's wrong with you" type things.... usually they go away by themselves, but the excessive sleepiness is an ongoing issue....

1. I feel really bad for James too...been thinking about him a lot...he's got alot on his plate.

2. I just woke up :P I'm not really very awake...My eyes still feel all gluey

3. We have neighbors again :P I don't like it. We can hear everything they're doing, so we know they can hear us...oh god....

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- Cindi should see a homeopath who is also an MD. They are the best because they listen and take you seriously, but when people roll their eyes at you for taking herbal remedies, you can assure them that a real doctor is treating you.

-2- I am wearing a cashmere sweater. It's so soft and I keep petting myself on the arm. I feel like a stuffed animal.

-3- It's too bad that the Christian Right has given me so many icky feelings about religion.

[cindi1023]

1. I do not miss living in an apartment. Hearing everything that your neighbors are doing... YUCK! In our last apartment, our bedroom backed up to someone else's.... Wednesday night was their night to do "it"... :P

2. Our next-door neighbors are funny.... They're a retired Korean couple. About a year ago we were outside talking to them, and Mr. Kim asked Hubs if he'd ever had ginsing tea. When hubs said no, Mr. Kim told him "It's better than Viagra!" and sent his wife in the house to get some tea bags for hubs. When she came out, she didn't just give him 1 or 2 teabags, she gave him 8 boxes of the stuff! I don't know what made him think Hubs needed something viagra-like, but Ms. Kim was certainly in a hurry to pawn some off on us!

3. Speaking of neighbors, the kids in our subdivision are constantly cutting through our back yard as a shortcut all hours of the day and night. We've asked them repeatedly not to cut through, but it's not doing any good. We live in a huge neighborhood, and there are tons of kids, so I don't know which house goes with which kid to complain to the parents (not that it would do any good...). Anyone have any suggestions?

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

1. Razor wire. :P

2. Make it into a game. Tell the kids that if they walk through your yard, they have to do a "chore." Like if it were my yard, I would make them pick up sticks and put them on our wood pile. You could get them to pull weeds, maybe, or pick up rocks. Have a bucket of wildflower seeds for them to sow as they walk through. I don't know what your yard is like.

3. Just keep asking them nicely. Maybe they'll get sick of you and choose a new route. Doubtful, but maybe!

1. You could get a big dog. It will either scare them away or it will poop all over your lawn and the kids will be afraid to step in one of the doggy's landmines so they will use someone's non-poop infested lawn to walk through instead :lol:

2. Put sprinklers all over your lawn and connect that to a motion censor, or a remote so you can turn the sprinklers on whenever you see the kids walking through.

3. Ah....I am evil I tell you. Pure evil.

1. heeheehee...It seems really strange to me that they had a night set aside for this activity..."alright honey...It's wednesday...time for love..."

2. Right now the guy next door is playing REALLY bad music....ugh

3. The guy who use to live there was a musician he playing a lot of violent femmes...this is NOT the violent femmes...

[cindi1023]

I knew I could count on Heather for suggestions! I like the razor wire one the best, myself...

1. The biggest part of the problem with the kids is that they're not little kids.... most of them are between 12-16, and usually closer to 16 than 12... so they're not easily intimidated. And they travel in packs. Or on bikes.

2. We want to put up a fence, but the covenants in our subdivision limit our fences to wooden or wrough iron. And our backyard is pretty big. It would probably cost us $3K to put up a 6 foot semi-private fence. And we don't have that kind of money lying around.

3. Plus, if we build a fence, Hubs is going to want to get a dog. I can't even begin to fathom having a dog and 3 cats. And one dog is going to turn into 2, then 3..... :P

[thunderstorm_19]

- dad just tested the smoke detector which is on the ceiling 2 or 3 feet behind my head

- i don't wanna do my chores

- i'm hungry

[cindi1023]

1. I like sarahkate's suggestions.... I tend to lean more toward the evil end of the spectrum because I'm sick of dealing with the kids...

(cindi1023 @ Jan 23 2004, 11:20 AM)
.... Wednesday night was their night to do "it"...


1. heeheehee...It seems really strange to me that they had a night set aside for this activity..."alright honey...It's wednesday...time for love..."


2. They were probably in their 40's and had like a bizillion kids.... I think one night a week was all they were up for! :P

3. Only 20 more minutes till lunchtime.... We're going to get Mexican! Yummy!

2. I like sex...just for the record...

3. I've been trying to avoid that thread all day, because I don't wanna offend anyone...
1: i dont think anyone should get offended in that thread... everyone's opinion is different about evertyhing, why should sex be any different??? as long as nobody says 'oh, you slut' or 'oh you prude' or anything along those lines, i think it is an interesting intelligent (well, for the most part... until i posted... :blink: ) adult conversation... and i like to see what everyone thinks about that particular topic... the opinions are quite varied in my family... ;) some have to do with religin, some don't!!!!! <shrug>

2: go post... ;)

3: i'm nosy.... :P

[nymphette]

1: sharky gets to have chinese food twice today!!! i am so jealous!!!!

2: i have changed the lunch menu from tomato soup with goldfish (julian's request) to rice rolls and cucumber salad with chili garlic sauce as dressing.... okay, maybe i'll make soup for julian then i won't have to share....

3: i bought a sculpey-type mold with primitive looking mask heads... i think they will do fine with my art dolls... though i am leaving the fertility goddess doll's face blank... because 'no one can look upon the face of the mother'....

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I did post a tiny comment :P

2. I have trouble explaining myself...especially when it's a sensitive issue like this one. When I wrote that post you quoted there were practically no people talking about the good of not waiting. I guess I didn't want to be the first to jump in with a comment that didn't happily follow along with everyone else's.

3. heeheehee "I like sex...just for the record..." makes me sound like a big slut

[nymphette]

2. One of my coworkers came in today and said she heard on the radio that Lean Cuisine will send you 5 free meal coupons if you call their 800 number. She said it was 1-800-EAT-LEAN. That was not the number... when you call it, it's a phone sex line. The real number is 1-888-LEAN-DIET.


1: the number you have dialed cannot be reached from your area code....

2: this is almost always the case when it comes to toll free numbers for free stuff!!!

3: i told julian that his grampa used to work 'right here' (pointing to the elbow river inn and casino on a postcard he was looking at) and he said 'julian work here too!!!!' and i said you used to work there??? and he said 'yes!!!' and i said oh.. were you a dealer or a pit boss??? and he looked at me like i was stupid and said 'pfft... pit boss mommy....' duh.. i should have remembered that... ;)

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. someone keeps calling us from an 800 number...we're pretty sure it's a collection agency

2. we never answer the phone and they never leave a message

3. why won't they stop calling?

2: did i just say that out loud???

3: i wonder if sharky has someone out for me so she can keep the #7 spot all for herself!!! muhaahahhhahhh!!!! :blink:

1: maybe mrs kim is tired... if it is better than viagra, and they keep boxes of it in their house, then that's a likely answer... ;)

2: i almost bought some ampoules of ginseng and royal jelly last night... they're quite yummmy, but i haven't had them in years!!! alas, the box of 30 was ten bucks, so i passed... i did, however, buy myself some ginger/honey 'beverage'.... basically instant tea- and it is soooo spicy, i LOVE IT!!!!

3: that is the first time i have bought myself a 'treat' without thinking twice about it and putting it back because i don't 'need' it... that's good... waht's bad is how yummy it is and that i need to buy more next time and it's $4 for a pack of ten..... hmmm...

[nymphette]

1: caught up finally in 3 random facts... whew!!!! good stuff in here from yesterday and this a.m. though!!! :P

2: i am nosy

3: harrison's mri went off without a hitch... dr. chang insisted he get in early, so they put us before the people ahead of us (who werent' happy, and i felt back- they had a little girl, blind, in a wheelchair, who talked non-stop asking when they were going in and if dad and mom would be in with her and what it was etcetc...:) i felt bad, but i would feel worse if harrison got sick so.... :huh: anyhow, they gassed him to put him out and he cried the whole time... then they'd start the IV.. then we had to leave and *I* started to cry.... i just wanted to run out with him at the last minute and forget the whole thing... having any child under anesthesia is bad... but one with metabolic problems, and having to fast and make it worse... well.... it was over in about 40 minutes... nd he was a bit woozy after for a while...

total fasting time- 7 a.m. until the bolus of glucose at 11:20 or so... and i started his (technically) eleven am feed at 1:30... and caught him up with all his calories by 9 am this morning...

see??? i am a big drama queen... it wasn't as bad as i thought.. okay, it was... but it was bearable and he as so brave and strong... too bad *I* wasn't... ;)

[thunderstorm_19]

hmm...

1. small calendar pages (around 6 by 6 inches) make great ATC envies

2. i keep thinking of things i should do today, and can't be bothered to do them

3. i frequently have trouble thinking of a 3rd thing to say

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

gus gus is trying to get into the closet again, he keeps scratching at the door

-1- I have to go to a meeting now.

-2- I am not in the mood to take minutes, but I am the secretary. I can't wait until my "term" is over.

-3- Sigh. I feel icky about the virginity thread now. I should have stayed out of it. :(

[sarahkate]

1. You shouldn't feel icky about the virginity thread, Heather! Everyone deserves to have their voice heard (well, read in this case!) and you made very good points! I'm glad you shared.

2. Hearing your parents get it on when you are a kid. Now THAT is icky! :blink:

3. I'm drinking Cherry Coke. It makes my mouth happy.

1. aw...don't feel icky. I really liked everything you said.

2. I also agree with everything you said...but that's pretty obvious aye...

3. sometimes Leonard Cohen makes my chest ache

[bluecrayon]

1. I'm used to being the dissonant chord in most conversations ---

2. I already know very few people are in the seats around my opinions ---

3. I still stick my toe in the threads anyway because I manage to find my tribe members hanging on the edges, like me!

[nymphette]

1: i told myself no starting anything new today until i get everything done packed up to mail out!!!! i have about nine things that need to be packed and sent out!!!

2: i haven't started anything new today.... good girl you say??? nope...

3: i also havent' packed anything up.... i've been up since 2 a.m. and just dragging my ass completely!!! harrison ws fussy all night and julian didn't get to sleep until after 11!!!! i finally gave up, got my book and a bag of oreas (mint) and sat on the couch... and ran from one kid to the other as they woke up and cried................. i feel like i am out in space now i am so tired!!!

4: maybe i shouldnt' be packing and addressing things to go out today... half of my stuff gets lost in the mail lately anyways, never mind trusting my judgment to get it ready to go properly today...... hm....

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

The most negative 3 Random Facts ever:

-1- I just got an "evite" to my brother's fiancee's bachelorette party, which is in Baltimore even though they all live in Philadelphia, and which I am almost certainly expected to attend.

-2- The only people who are invited to the party who I have laid eyes on more than once are my soon-to-be-sister-in-law, my cousin, and my mom. I am sure my mom won't go. My brother's fiancee will be a little busy with all of her friends there. My cousin is uber-outgoing and probably won't want to hang out with me.

-3- I am having an anxiety attack about this party already, especially since they are charging $25 per person because there will be an open bar. I hate being around drunk people, and I don't want to spend $25 to be around drunk strangers, especially since I am already shelling out upwards of $500 for the different elements of this wedding.

Bonus fact: I just wrote her this email, but can't decide whether to send it. Advice, anyone? (I should start a separate thread just where people give me advice, I swear.)

I put myself in the "maybe" column for the bachelorette party for a couple reasons, and I didn't want to make my comments there for the world to see. I am more comfortable just telling you because you actually know me. I don't want your sisters and the bridesmaids to think I am a bitch. You know how shy I am, and that I don't like to be around people who have been drinking a lot. I was planning to come anyway for maybe an hour or so. But then I saw that it's going to cost $25. I guess that's not a lot of money to most people, but to me, it really is. Your wedding is very important to me, and I have been happy to save money for the hotel, dress, etc, and I am very excited for the wedding. It will just really be hard for me to spend $25 on something that's not fun for me in the first place. I know my mother would tell me that I should just go and try to have a good time, and that I will be alienating the other bridesmaids by not going. She's probably right, but the fact that I keep getting really upset when I think about it gives me a clue that maybe I should just stay home. I guess I am writing because I don't want you to take it personally. You know I love you, and I am really happy that you are going to be my sister-in-law. There is a chance that I will change my mind. If I do come, I will have a positive attitude and talk to people as much as I possibly can. I will stay a "maybe" until I make my final decision.

Edited to make font more readable. NTS: Impact is weird.

[sarahkate]

1. The note sounds good Heather. I think you explained your situation very well, and hopefully she will understand. I guess it all depends on what type of person your soon-to-be sister-in-law is though, I suppose there is a chance she might get bent out of shape. Maybe you should call her and tell her over the phone rather than emailing it if you think she is the type of person who might not understand why you don't want to go? Maybe?

2. Hmm.. I'm not the best giver-of-advice. First I tell Cindi to get a big dog to poop on her lawn, and now this :lol:

3. I don't blame you for not wanting to go to the party. Maybe if your sister-in-law insists you go - maybe you could bring a friend with you?

[cindi1023]

1. I'm not the best on advice, either. I got bent out of shape and upset about my (former) best friend's wedding, didn't end up going, and she hasn't spoken to me since....

2. Regarding the dog poop -- I've already got that in my yard.... one of my neighbors walks his dog and it always leaves a "present" right under my mailbox. Maybe instead of throwing it back in his yard I ought to put it in the "path" that's forming.... hmmmmmm....

3. Maybe Sarahkate does give good advice! :P

[nymphette]

1: i think your note is well written heather- it's concise, polite and honest!!! i think she'll understand your reasons!!! and maybe she'll let you come without paying the money if you are going to stay for just a bit and not drink- if she really wants you there and wants you to be comfortable that would be a good solution!!! (and nobody else needs to know you didn't pay!!! let us know what happens, and what you decide... :)

2: i got one thing done off my list... and i looked at all this 'stuff' for LMAO's that i owe and i think the earliest thing is due to be sent out beginning of feb!!! so i am relaxing, instead of panicking!!! :D

3: i do however have a couple of PIF's that i have to get ready to go... and two to get ready to go again because they didn't show up where they were going.... :(

[bluecrayon]

I am avoiding my life big time today ...

I have bumped up every game I remotely like ...

I am waiting for him to respond in our long distance time consuming email conversation...

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

i can't remember if I took my pills or not today oh well, it's just one day.

financial worries are finally lessened for now i can breathe a sigh :)

i suddenly feel motivated but still can't do what i need to do just yet.

i want to make friends

[medeous]

1. i want to be friends with willy wonka's shoe.
2. one of the secretaries brought her cat to school today and i cuddled it and whispered to it and i wasn't so crabby with the kindergarteners.
3. we made goofy yellow hats and wore them in a raggedy little parade back to their classroom.

[cindi1023]

1. There's something about WonkyWalkingShoes name.... I just love it! I find myself repeating it in my head when I'm alone and it makes me smile!

2. When things aren't working correctly, I also find myself wanting to say that it's acting all "wonky"... e.g. when my pen won't write.... "this damn thing's gone all wonky!"

3. I want to be in a goofy yellow hat parade! :P



**edited to fix attrocious spelling (????) and to add a 3rd fact...**

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

i liked the sound of it too, it's totally senseless. it's a fair representation of me :P

and ANOTHER THING>> I got to paint today and i chose an oil painting of mine i want to donate to nervousness for ebay or whatever.

and ummm farts smell bad.

[freckledcutie]

1. I'm so happy for Harrison!

2. I think Heather's note was good...I'd send it

3. I, also don't think anything you said in the virginity thread was icky...I was going to reply and still will, but since I was at work when I read it, I didn't think it would be wise to reply to that in case my internet activity was ever tracked (might be inappropriate). So, I'm off to say something icky myself :lol:

[cindi1023]

1. AHHHHH! I just created my first LMAO (http://nervousness.org/lmao/index.cgi?id=13510).

2. Now I'm anxious.

3. Hurry -- go sign up before I think everyone hates me! :P

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. Last night was the earliest that i've gone to bed in a long time.

2. It was because i thought i was coming down with the flu or something...i was feeling achey all over and had the chills and just felt like total crap.

3. When i woke up this morning...to my surprise, i felt perfectly fine...weird :blink:

[cindi1023]

1. I got bras in the mail today! :P

2. The bad thing about ordering from Victoria's Secret online is that they send you a catalog almost every day for the rest of your natural born life.

3. Maybe I should have just gone to the store to get them.... but it's just so easy to point, click and ship it to my house! :D

[Sirius]

1. I want to show Jamie my signature.

2. So I am posting non-facts.

3. Thank you for your time.

[cindi1023]

1. ACK! I'm going crazy.... I've created another LMAO!

2. Once I posted the first one, I felt like I'd be freaking out every minute since it's a traveling LMAO, so I thought maybe a collection LMAO would even everything out... :P

3. I think I'm just out of my mind!

[cindi1023]

1. Someone please tell me that you remember, in the early 80's, Picture Pages with Bill Cosby. I was reminiscing with some friends today, and none of them remember this at all! I'm not just dreaming it, am I?

2. I'm just a few posts away from overtaking Kittymao for top poster position #15..... thunderstorm_19 -- WATCH OUT! I'm coming for you, next! :P

3. I need to go take out my contacts.... every time I blink I can feel them scrape across my eyeball. That can't be good!

[freckledcutie]

1. I'm thinking that everyone that is not here must have something going on tonight

2. I'm just waiting for the time that I have to be a taxi again tonight

3. I'm watching TV, responding to quizzes and questions, checking email, etc., but I need to be making a couple of sets of ATC's...one set for my zine and another set for an art-e-zine 'winged theme' swap

[Dalmaney]

1. So far today I have: had lunch with an old friend, attended a bible study for the first time, cooked and served supper for four, finished my math assignment, made an agenda for my meeting on monday, talked to my sister in Australia for almost an hour, and revealed my sexual views on the forums.

2. I still may go out with my friends, if Hayley or I can find a ride clear across town. In an absolute bind, we could bus.

3. Yesterday I locked myself out of my apartment.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I received a shampoo sample in the mail today

2. It was frozen :blink:

3. I threw it at the wall to see if it would make a lound noise...It did...I smiled...like this: B)

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

i can't wait to donate to nervouseness.

i am feeling better

i am glad jamie wants to be my friend.

[Dalmaney]

1. I like making new friends, but I really miss some of the old ones.

2. I wish I had a car so I could organize road trips to Regina and Calgary.

3. I don't know what to do with my summer... I hate making this decision every year.

[freckledcutie]

I've partially completed 6 of the ATC's I am making for art-e-zine

I'm very pleased with them so far

I find that shocking

1. I tried saying it outloud

2. a good time was had by all

3. I'm tired of my avatar, but I'm lazy....oh so lazy...

[Dalmaney]

1. I have decided to stay awake at least until midnight and may have procured a ride to the evening's festivities.

2. I often talk in a very measured, odd vocabulary way that probably makes people think I'm a bit of a smart ass.

3. I am craving chocolate in a huge way.

1. People think I'm a bit of a smart ass because I am a bit of a smart ass! :P

2. I've secured the #15 top poster position, and with just a few more posts, I'll bypass current #14 (thunderstorm_19) and current #13 (gwensmom)..... MWAAAAAHAHAHA! :ph34r:

3. I'm going to be away from home much too much this weekend to maintain my posting progress...

[Bugitha]

1. Reading the post about Harrison's normal MRI gave me my first real smile of the day.

2. One of my coworkers is mean in a very subtle but very real way.

3. I can't stand it when people say, "I'm not prejudiced but . . ." and then go on to make a biggoted remark.

[nymphette]

1: i think dalmaney should organize a road trip to regina and then to calgary.. and we'll all hit t.a.vern's for a cocktail or twenty.... or two i mean...

2: thanks to cindi<insert#here> i have the theme from picture pages running through my head.....

3: for some reason, penny cracks me up lately... all the time.... and probably not in the same cracks-me-up way that her thinking about me primal screaming in leopard prints is funny, not funny ha-ha funny, but funny :o funny.... she just has me laughing out loud a lot lately!!! thanks penny!!!! :D

1. Nymphette seems to be the only person who remembers it besides me! What are the rest of the lyrics? All I can remember is "Picutre Pages, Picture Page, Time to get your Picture Pages. Time to get your crayons and your pencils....."

2. I've had the song going through my head non-stop, too.

3. Remember that squeeky marker he had with the face on it? What was his name??? :P

[cindi1023]

1. My progress on the Great-Quest-For-A-Place-Amongst-The-Top-10-Posters my get a little slower now.... I'm #13, but I need like 280 more posts to pass James, and like 500+ to pass Penny...

2. My eyes are all bleary from playing chain games all day yesterday...

3. I have to go and sit around my sister-in-law's house today. I anticipate much boredom... I just know I'll be sitting there thinking about all the nness stuff (or chain games) I need to be working on... Maybe we won't have to stay too long...

[thunderstorm_19]

1. my dad had to go out really early this morning, some Rotary conference...

2. therefore, he couldn't make me coffee this morning.

3. we joked last night that my mother "isn't trained" to have the coffee ready for when i get out of bed (by 9am) (dad does this automatically when he's here cuz he drinks coffee then too, and just makes enuf for me).

4. so this morning my mother woke me up by bringing my coffee upstairs.

:lol: :rolleyes: :D

[medeous]

1. i dreamed about pooshouse last night http://mercury.walagata.com/w/medeous/poo.gif

2. she was one of three on an elimidate with hugh jackman http://mercury.walagata.com/w/medeous/elim.jpg

3. poo won http://mercury.walagata.com/w/medeous/hugh.jpg

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i didn't know i was (so cindi says) #14 on the posters list... :)

2. i'll be by myself much of today... mom shopping this morning, going to see my sister this afternoon... and as i said dad's out...

3. i'm supposed to give gully breakfast, but he's too busy sleeping on my bed.

[Bugitha]

1. I can not believe that after having two bouts of the flu and a cold in the last six weeks, I am coming down with yet another cold. :angry:

2. I am loading up on vitamin C and zinc, trying to keep warm and get lots of sleep. I have successfully stopped colds in their tracks by doing this in the past (but only if I do it in the very early stages).

3. I used to average only one cold a year, but in the last twelve months I have had four colds and the flu twice. Whats up with that?

Bonus:

4. I promise not to whine about being sick anymore. :)

[Dalmaney]

1. I have also been sick more in the last six months than I usually am in years. Right now I am still antipating the day I can breathe through my nose.

2. I am drinking my coffee while watching "Discovery Planet". Not a bad Saturday morning.

3. I need to go grocery shopping, but I hate hate HATE venturing into Superstore on a Saturday.

[tanagee]

I tend to use words in a conversation that I can't spell in e-mail or posts.

I also don't know the definition of said words, but know how to use them.

I just realized I have my pants on inside out

[nymphette]

1: i hope tanagee is at home if her pants are on inside out!!! ;)

2: we've all (my whole family and friends) been sick more in the past year than ever before.. it seems like we get rid of one cold and we've all got another!!! i've reinstated the hand-washing/hand sanitizer rule in my house that i enforced like a nazi when i brought harrison home... and it hasn't helped!!! though we all did go for about 3 weeks without a cold, which is a bonus... though we all have another one again now.... :(

3: :lol: picture pages picture pages time to get your picture pages, time to get your crayons and your pencils.... picture page picture pages open up your picture pages, time to watch bill cosby do a picture page with you!!!

that ws for cindi... :P

[Dalmaney]

1. I am trying to teach myself a four-month course in one afternoon.
2. The problem seems to be motivating myself to do the actual problems... the theory is fine, I just need many hours of practise.
3. I really really really must go grocery shopping. We are in danger of running out of toilet paper. This should be enough to eventually motivate me to leave the house.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

ww.shoe's name is holly, isn't it? i didn't make that up?

you sure didn't...... you would be quite creative if you did though.

I'm holly, I'm holly, I'm holly bolly.

You are not holly bolly. I am holly bolly.

[freckledcutie]

1. I just bought 4 incredible pieces of fabric at Goodwill for 5 bucks

2. I rented 2 movies at Hastings and with late fees from my last movie, I spent 12 bucks

3. I'm going to go put my pj's on now that I'm home (because I always wear my pj's at home) and I'm going to watch at least one of my rented movies

[kittymao]

again. I sit before the machine with a towel on my head. Must Blow Dry.

I am not foxy. You take that back. I'm just a chick on a hog.

I'm supposed to go to santa cruz, but it's kinda yucky. I think we'll still go, cause the WEATHER doesn't scare me! At leat, not California weather. If I lived like, NORTH, that'd scare me.

* have pondered posting to the Virginity Thread, but am stalling due to the admission of things I am not ready to admit to "Strangers." *

[bluecrayon]

I am stunned at how endless is the store of trivia packed into my brain --

how come I know who was in a movie from 30 years ago, but can't find my car keys??

how come I know names of geographical locations, but can't find my way out of here??



these are questions, but it's a fact that I'm asking them!

[Dalmaney]

1. Some decisions can not be made logically.
2. Some questions can only be answered logically.
3. I just spent a very long time working in circles to come up with the right answer, which I could only find because I already knew what it was.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

Gus Gus woke me up this morning by meowing at the bed until I got up to pick his big fat furriness up and cuddle him.

Lucy is rolling around on my lap purring and meowing right now..... saying I love you petting me but pet me more, use BOTH hands!!

My friend wont be visiting me today as planned because she can't leave her house.... her key is lost in snow somwhere

[nymphette]

1: chris's ten year high school reunion tonight.... i forgot about it... pfft... i better do a lot of heavy drinking before and during.... i don't think i could handle my OWn high school reunion of ten, let alone a pub (the only good part about it..) filled with strangers.... ah well... maybe my ex's band will be playing, they are the house band at this place....

2: i am packing a mickey in my purse... that'll help...

3: i need a nap...

4: yes, chris is young.... :P

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. not that I ever entirely got better...but I'm sick again grrrrr.....I woke up feeling like my throat is swelled half shut. I haven't been able to stop sneezing long enough to make a post until now

2. hate world...revenge soon....

3. I remember picture page...I use to have a marker buddy (I don't remember his name, mortimer, marcus...something like that...) you know...the little dude marker mr. cosby used. I call him mr. cosby out of respect. I call my mom mr. mom out of respect....what????

every mention of your big fat bundle of furriness makes me start singing ladyshave in my head

there are ladybugs living on my windowsills...i let them be...for now.

i will get dressed and leave the house today, this i vow.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

LA LA LA LA Ladyshave.....

I will NOT get dressed and leave the house today.

I am hungry

I am lazy

[Dalmaney]

1. It's my five-year reunion this summer... if we plan one. I think I'll plan a camping trip and just invite people I want to.

2. I want to bake cookies.

3. I want to go out tonight. I should call people in a couple hours and plan the plans of doing things.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I have dropped the boy off at work...I feel mean for saying this, but I'm, kinda glad to have some time alone now...

2. He's been most difficult today...I understand he's stressed about everything, so am I...but still...man...he's been a bundle of nerves

3. Ziggy keeps tipping his water bowl over. It drives me nuts. We have to fill it up 3 times a day sometimes. He's silly. He tilts the bowl, spills water everywhere and licks it off the floor :blink: he also scoops food out of the dish and eats it off the floor...he's weird....

Similar lives, although I have nowhere to drop the boy off too, nor do I have a car to drop him off IN.

Gus Gus HUNTS his water, attacks the dish, tips it..... Always refilling, always getting my socks wet unexpectedly.

I am actually sick of having time to myself today, the boy has been napping and now I need him to entertain me... chop chop

[Dalmaney]

1. I wish I had a boy or a cat to entertain me. I'm not sure which I want more.
2. I did make cookies. Chocolate brownie cookies... soo chocolatey and yummy.
3. If you come over, you can have cookies.

[hammerquill]

1. I went out to the farmers' market and the bakery and the café and the bookstore today. I bought kiwi fruit, garlic foccacia, coffee, and a book about the Spanish-American war.

2. I almost bought a beautiful bowl from a great potter at the farmer's market annex. I talked to the potter for awhile and encouraged him to apply to some high-end shows.

3. I'm listening to Alistair Cooke's "Letter from America." I love the BBC.

heh heh! I've got the voice of a boy -- I've got a photo of a cat. It would be kind of nice to have all of the boy -- and a cat that was 3 dimensional.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

i want to send my head on a journey across time...... or through the postal system anyway.

i don't know why

i don't need to start anymore projects

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I don't need any more projects...

2. but I really want your head...

3. I am not following the orders I gave myself....bad Jaime....

[Dalmaney]

1. No one I called is home.
2. I am getting lonely and depressed.
3. Blah.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I want to give you my head. WHOA I almost forgot the word "my"

Oh man, I am so freaking funny sometimes.

There are sixty minutes in an h our so that means there are 4 cats in my living room. IT'S A FACT.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. there are 24 hours in a day so that means there are 5 cats in my liveingroom

2. I am aware that I misspelled liningroom

3. look...I did it again....

[gwensmom]

*sigh* Gwensdad's contract will not be renewed and his last day will be Feb 4.

Even though we are in better shape than we were last time this happened, I really don't feel like going through it again.

Cindi- when I used to get too many Victoria's Secret catalogs I would just take them to work and give them to the guys.


extra: I wish I had some cats in my living room!

[freckledcutie]

1. I've watched both of the movies I rented today

2. I'm drinking coffee and it's 7PM

3. I'll call anyone that really needs a phone call (I have nationwide calling...well as long as that nation is the US)

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I'll paint for anyone if they just give me canvas.

I feel like getting just "trashed" tonight, tres odd!

I'll call anyone in Canada, I'd like to be prank called once in a while..... hmm

[sarahkate]

1. I walked into a store in the mall today and it smelled like grilled cheese sandwiches. I'm not crazy either, because Cory smelled it too!

2. I hate the smell of grilled cheese and almost every time I eat grilled cheese I feel very sick afterwards. Despite these facts, I ate a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. :huh: (this was BEFORE the smelling the grilled cheese in the mall incident and NO - it wasn't ME that smelled like grilled cheese!)

3. Whenever I feel sick to my stomach because of something that normally wouldn't make someone sick (like the smell of grilled cheese) I wonder if I'm pregnant.


*I think I hold the record for saying "grilled cheese" more times in one post than anyone else. :P

[sarahkate]

1. I just rememberd I didn't take my cheese monkey photo for Sirius' LMAO yet! :o I was planning on doing that tonight but I forgot all about it until now.

2. I am already in my pajamas. I am afraid to have my picture taken in front of the cheese, or any other product for that matter.

3. Whatever will I do? :o

Yes I was at home. :) Was Picture Pages only on Captain Kangaroo or was there an actual show?

I want to have another baby

I wish I could have a cat but my dog would try to eat it

I need to get my SweetBaby to bed because she didn't take a nap today.

[cryptaesia]

me and wonkywalkingshoe are on together tonight

she made us hot chocolate

it is yummy but hot

[hammerquill]

I'll teach any Nervous Person some of our metalworking and patination techniques if they come to our studio.

I'm drinking a very strange wine - quite interesting though, especially for its price. I'll have to figure out what food it'll go with. And buy some more.

I've been doing a dozen other things at the same time, so it's taken me about forty-five minutes to list these three facts.

[cryptaesia]

i sprayed our four cats with liquid catnip

that was probably not a good idea

i should spray some more

[bluecrayon]

hmmm... Saturday night -- I must be alone again.

Hmm... yep. I am.

But I did get his voice for about 2 hours...

sigh.

[kflorathorne]

I'm alone with numb toes.

I should be sleeping instead of keeping my younger cousin from her bliss of over-taking my cable modem.

I should wear socks more often.

[chunkymonkey]

1. I was without my computer for almost 2 whole days.

2. My cd burner is fixed. YAY!!!!

3. I have lots of cd trades to complete now :ph34r:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. oooo I'm getting ready to eat sweet & sour tofu...mmm...

2. it was free because the chinese restaurant traded food with the mexican restaurant my hubs works at

3. neither restaurant is really very good....

[medeous]

1. my hair is not only not the color it was this morning, it's also not the color that was on the box.

2. i just discovered today that if you're sitting on my swingset facing the house at twilight and someone is taking a shower with the lights on, you can see 'em pretty darn clearly.

3. i don't think people line up to sit on my swingset when i shower.

[sarahkate]

1. I just got home from taking my cheese monkey picture and now I am back in my jammies. Yay.

2. The photo wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. I couldn't find the monkey I was going to bring from home, so luckily I found a big ugly Valentine's Day monkey in the store.

3. You can see proof of my adventure
HERE (http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/ce37b76/bc/NNESS/Jan24965.jpg?bfw_1EABTkPGEAWq). In this pic I am fleeing the scene with said monkey, and as you can see I am appropriately dressed for the cheese aisle with my obnoxious orange coat. Notice in the pick the sign at the top of the aisle. Who is the bozo who thought putting automotive supplies in the dairy aisle was a good idea? :huh:

[Dalmaney]

1. I ended up going to see Stephen Lewis (UN AIDS envoy to Africa) speak.
2. At least now if I'm going to be depressed, it can be about something much sadder than my social life.
3. I should write my WGST paper on the impact of AIDS on women in Southern Africa.

[Bugitha]

Lucy is rolling around on my lap purring and meowing right now..... saying I love you petting me but pet me more, use BOTH hands!!



Ah, yes. My Junebug is like that. Pet her with only one hand and she nudges the other. What an attention hog.


I'll teach any Nervous Person some of our metalworking and patination techniques if they come to our studio.



Is there an expiration date on that offer Hammerquill? Because I'll be in the Bay area this summer and may just take you up on it.


And now time for some very short random factoids. . .

1. I got nothing done today.

2. It smells like blueberries.

3. I like my landlords.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I really can't find my juggling balls! I may obsess about this for a while...

2. no jokes about Jaime losing her balls are necessary thank you...

3. I need to dye my hair... it's lost all its shimmer...

[hammerquill]

DOA's post has got me looking for my juggling balls.

Actually they're cheaply made hacky sacks, which I bought at a British national park, for very cheap indeed.

I wonder if Three Random Facts has slowed down significantly since all the other question games started up, since it now seems wrong to post things like "right now I'm listening to 'Trip Like I Do'" or "I had garlic foccacia for dinner and hazelnut shortbread and a giant kiwifruit for dessert" or "I've never been to Paris in the springtime" on this thread anymore.

[chunkymonkey]

1. I'm out of mod podge... why do I never notice these things till the middle of the night??

2. I often take showers in the dark.

3. I want to learn to play the harmonica.

1. I was wondering that earlier as I was posting about my sweet & sour tofu here...

2. It's hard to keep track of juggling balls when you have five cats...

3. But It's fun to juggle for the kitties. They seem to enjoy it a great deal :)

2. I haven't taken my monkey/cheese pic yet either. I plan on doing it tomorrow.

3. I can't view sarahkate's pic by the link she posted.

[medeous]

1. found a bag a miniature milkyway dark candy bars.

2. i think craig parker is kind of cute.

3. i'm wearing socks and i turned the heat up to 80, but my toes are almost painfully cold...if they fall off i'll have to buy all new shoes in a smaller size.

[cindi1023]

1. All day at my sister-in-law's was pretty boring. Hubs had to reload her computer, which turned into a 7 hour ordeal.

2. She made chocolate chip caramel cookies. I ate too many of them.

3. On the plus side, I did get to finally watch Pirates of the Carribean.

1. lucky you. I was just wishing I had some chocolate. :)

2. If I have to hear my downstairs neighbors have sex one more time I am going to throw myself out of the window.

3. Am I becoming a prude complaining about them? I remember when I was like 12 we had neighbors that were loud during the lovemaking and I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world.

1. This year is my 10 year high school reunion, too, but I haven't heard anything about it. How much notice do you usually get? I can't imagine that I'm that hard to find, considering I only live 30 miles away from my high school, and my parents still live in the same town...

2. Maybe the just put something in the paper, since there were so many of us... I think there were over 500 graduates in my class.

3. I don't know why I'm worrying about it... I doubt I'd go...

When the dog who lives at our studio was younger and more spry, she could be driven wild by the juggling of tennis balls.

I have found two of my juggling balls. Hah! I just found the third.

I haven't been to any of my high school reunions or alumni parties, though I still live in the area. My tenth reunion did occur while I was out of the country, though, or I might have considered going.

[bluecrayon]

I'm thinking WonkyWalkingShoe might be in my tribe...

I'm thinking my fingers need to do some art...

I'm thinking three random facts is a wild neighborhood....

[chunkymonkey]

1. I live in NJ where it is illegal to pump your own gas.

2. I've only pumped gas once in my whole life (in GA) and it was kinda fun.

3. I prefer to have it pumped though. ;)

1. i miss siriustell; she's hardly ever around when i am anymore.

1. Oops! Thanks for pointing that out Cindi! I think I fixed it now.

2. I couldn't go to the grocery store just to have my pic taken with cheese & a monkey, so I told Cory we had to buy something. We came home with nacho flavored goldfish crackers (which I am eating now) and a small box of mini- Charleston Chews & ice cream :o

3. Sneaking a monkey over to the cheese aisle was scary because I thought some store manager would come over & yell at me or some random customer would see me & laugh... but it gave me a little high. I felt naughty. Whoo I live on the wild side, huh? :lol:

1. Yea! That fixed it!

2. I've got to wake Hubs up in 15 minutes for more medicine. He's been running a fever all day.

3. I hope he's all better tomorrow. He's an extra grouchy sick person. :P

[Dalmaney]

1. I just wrote to emails to avoid going to bed.
2. I'm ready to go to bed now.
3. I'm really antisocial today. I hope it fades.

[chunkymonkey]

1. I'm not supposed to be snacking at night but I am feeling oh so weak.

2. I'm cold.

3. music is very important to me... it's important to me that music is important to the important people in my life. :blink:

[bluecrayon]

I am surprised at myself for still being here waiting for him to show up...

I am wearing the striped socks I seduced him in...

I am heading for the floor...

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. oh...it's late. I don't know if I'll be sleeping tonight...

2. Not that I know what do with myself if I don't sleep...

3. I've decided that I'm quite fond of pineapple. Maybe not so much things that are pineapple flavored. Oh...but I love fresh pineapple, frozen pineapple, canned pineapple...mmm...

[medeous]

1. i'm up late
2. i'll sleep late
3. i'll have a headache

[chunkymonkey]

1. usually I don't mind being up all night but I was trying to stick to a normal day schedule. Oh well.

2. my head hurts

3. I swear I can't think of a darn thing to say.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I've never been able to deal with a normal sleep schedule

2. sometimes my insomnia makes life difficult

3. I'm fascinated by green beans. really, they're just so bizarre. eating them is an adventure...

[chunkymonkey]

1. DOA cracks me up

2. For the longest time when I saw death or aldona I would think of that movie "nothing but trouble." It's chevy chase, demi moore, and those two hilarious latin characters (whose names I can't remember) are driving to atlantic city and get stuck in this queer town. Anyway john candy plays the daughter of the judge and her name is aldona.

3. I have 5 lmao's that I created on their way home to me... I'm so excited. :)

1. Oh no!!!! You've discovered my terrible secret!

2. wow...nobody's EVER EVER made the connection before

3. I know It's a terrible movie, but it makes me giggle...I actually spelled the name wrong...I think It's Eldona...but that's ok...how embarrassing!

[chunkymonkey]

1. lol eldona that's it. I love that movie. I can't think of those characters names but those two in the back seat... they just crack me up. chris chris. hehe That whole movie is cool though. I end up getting sucked into whenever it is on tv.

2. ummm fact 2 coming right up... oh ok, here's a weird obsessive fact. I have one of those videohound movie guides that list every movie available on video from 2003 till the dawn of film. I spent one night going through the whole book, which is like 1000 pages, and highlighted every movie I'd seen.

3. I've tried reading catched in the rye 4 times over the past few years and have yet to finish it. I find it boring. :ph34r:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. ooo I like catcher in the rye

2. I tried and tried to read the great gatsby...someone I was obsessed with was obsessed with that book. I just couldn't do it. I must have started it 20 times...

3. I think I may actually go and try to find the sleep. 5:30am is a silly bedtime :P

[thunderstorm_19]

1. i love fresh pineapple more than most fruits

2. i think i screwed up last night... at 8:30 i freaked out cuz (we ate dinner late) i had missed one episode of my show, and was about to miss the second one... but rushed to the telly only to find some other crap was on. I think I goofed and my show's episodes were 7-8, not 8-9.

3. the show was "most haunted". it's a bit (ok very) melodramatic, cheesily atmospheric, but in a way very interesting. it would be improved by taking out all the creepy camera work, and music, and 'showyness'

[thunderstorm_19]

1. all the talk about art dolls lately has really made me want to make one.

2. i wouldn't know where to start.

3. i was watching 'wierd homes' yesterday, and a couple of homes that were just paintings all over the surfaces (walls, doors, floors, etc) were shown...

bonus:

i had a dream that i was painting a frida-kahlo-esque painting of my mother, over the stove in the kitchen... what a strange place...

[timeittook]

1. i really want to learn a long dead language so that i can curse people out without risking getting hit.
2. i really like the new gatoraide flavor "X-factor".
3. i really hate snow.

I wonder if Three Random Facts has slowed down significantly since all the other question games started up, since it now seems wrong to post things like "right now I'm listening to 'Trip Like I Do'" or "I had garlic foccacia for dinner and hazelnut shortbread and a giant kiwifruit for dessert" or "I've never been to Paris in the springtime" on this thread anymore.
I guess I didn't realize this

I think everyones' random facts are interesting...even when they weren't intended to be

I've never been to Paris in the Springtime

[Dalmaney]

1. I am not going to church this morning because I didn't find a ride and it's too cold to walk for 30 minutes.

2. I wish I had someone to go to lunch with, though.

3. Want to go to lunch?

[bluecrayon]

awake and cold but seeing sun over the top of San Bruno Mountain...

I intend to find intention today...

I had too much to dream and I need to go outside me...

[medeous]

1. little debbie is not my friend...oh she may pretend to be, but really she's doing everything in her power to bring me down. she's jealous because i'm corporeal and she's nothing but a little headshot stuck on a cardboard box.

2. i'm having trouble finding just the right picture of a skeleton playing the accordion.

3. i'm going to paint soon.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

sometimes i get love and hate confused.

it's easier to do than it sounds

i don't want to be this way anymore

[chunkymonkey]

1. I am not now will I ever be a morning person.

2. I like to shower before I go to bed. I find the water to be too shocking when I wake up.

3. my favorite adjective of the moment to use for just about anything is tasty.

[medeous]

1. i found no reference picture for my accordion playing skeleton.
2. i finished painting my album cover for the nervousness rocks LMAO.
3. i'm quite quite happy with it.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. oh medeous is reminding me that I have a crap-load of nervous pooh that I should be working on

2. The boy has left for work...he won't be back 'till sometime after midnight. Today, I miss him. Alot.

3. Hmm...maybe I'll accomplish something nervous-related today. I do have all these blank hours staring at me....

[kflorathorne]

It's snowing...lightly.

My wrists are cold, no explanation, just cold in an odd place.

Cable is slowly rotting me from the inside.

[medeous]

1. ebay, chocolate and johnny depp on tv...i need nothing else.
2. damn, it's cold.
3. i'm jittery.

[timeittook]

its snowing.
i need cd-rs.
i'm slightly depressed and thinking about why i hate snow.

[Dalmaney]

1. I just got a question right! All by myself! For pretty much the first time EVER in this class I've been in for a month! *backflips and cheering*

2. I like snow. I want to go sledding in the pretty fluffy new snow.

3. I want to go to church at six if I can find a ride.

[Bugitha]

I'm fascinated by green beans. really, they're just so bizarre. eating them is an adventure...

I misread this and thought D_O_A was talking about green BeaRs. Of course they're bizzarre, I thought. Where would one even see a green bear? And I bet eating one would be an adventure!

1. The fact that I miss important letters and words in sentences explains why I would not be a good speed reader.

2. I would like a house in which some of the walls were floor-to-ceiling aquariums.

3. I altered the divider cards in my little rolodex and am so much happier thumbing through it now.

2. aquarium walls would be fabulous... as long as I could afford to hire someone to keep then all sparkling clean...

3. I keep typing m instead of n...I feel just slightly off today...

Little Debbie is actually a real person. She is a grown up now and is an executive in the Little Debbie Family business.

I spent two hours this afternoon at a Jewish school where all the kids have learned to knit. Even the boys.

This is a crappy weekend and I'm glad it is almost over!

2. i'm hungry.
3. i cannot eat just chocolate again today.

[cindi1023]

1. I just snuck in and won the Mail Art art doll on ebay at the last minute... I hope no one hates me! :ph34r:

2. Went over to my parents house today to celebrate my little sister's birthday. She and my youngest sister got in a fist fight over nothing and had to be separated.

3. And my mother wonders why I never want to come over....

Medeous may be right. The magazine story I read didn't have a photo of her grown up self at all. Just her brothers.

I just threw away a pile of information on some scary surgery and medical procedures we thought Gwen might have to have done. She didn't :)

Gwensdad and I fought all day :(

[Sirius]

1. i miss siriustell; she's hardly ever around when i am anymore.
2. i imagine she's spending lots of time with that brian guy.
3. i'm going to start another rumor about her soon....

1. Garsh darn Master's Degree program consuming too much time.

2. I threw a baby shower Thursday to rave reviews. My mother asked if anyone would be able to throw a baby shower for me anytime soon. Argh. She would be very supportive of a Medeous rumor.

3. In other news, I am meeting with someone next weekend to discuss establishing a new chapter of No Kidding....a social group for child-free people.

[kittymao]

I am home. It feels good- but feels bad too. *shrugs* Such is the confusion of my life.

Doodeedoo. Rudy spent over $500 on a subwoofer for his car. I am not criticizing. For I pushed him to do so. Because he wouldn't shut up about it. Boys. *sigh* I lubs mine.

I don't think animal crackers and hawaiian puch are a good dinner. I want a 'tater with salsa and sour cream. yum.

[medeous]

1. i don't have to work tomorrow, nyah nyah nyah
2. i have a snow day, nyah nyah nyah
3. 'course that means i'll be late getting some stuff mailed out. :huh:

[cindi1023]

1. Yay! I got my first traveling LMAO completed, so I can "get that head offa me!" :P

2. Hubs is in the living room watching Star Trek movies.... he's got the volume cranked up way too loud, and periodically I'm startled by rushing spaceship noises.

3. He's such a sci-fi / techno geek. How did we end up together? :P I guess it's like those kitchen appliance ads - "Where technology meets art"... :P

1. I didn't mean any offense. Just a statement of fact! I, personally, don't care for sci-fi, but I try to humor him.

2. I HATE William Shatner, though, so I won't watch the old stuff with him.

3. I'd watch Patrick Stewart do anything though. :wub: *sigh* *drool*

1. lol... Oh I know...I just meant you should be careful or you'll get sucked in too! Star Trek is like a drug...my hubs was obsessed...now I am too...

2. I'm almost out of glue :o

3. when I'm out of glue I feel like my life is grinding to a halt...man It's snowing like crazy....

[medeous]

1. i have made a rather nice ATC that i like quite a bit for anntabor.
2. i have made a rather lame ATC that i'm kind of embarassed to send to anntabor.
3. even though i'd rather keep the first and destroy the second, i'm going to send her both anyway.

1. I'm the same way. Last time I got low, I picked up 4 glue sticks and several other different types of glue at the store... Can't have too much glue!

2. I'm worried about tomorrow morning's commute. It's been raining for the last 2 days, and it's supposed to get really cold tonight, so there's a high chance of ice. People in Georgia can't drive in the dead of summer, so ice proposes all sorts of problems.

3. I'm a little embarassed to admit this, but I'm listening to the top 40 countdown on the radio... The only plus is that Barenaked Ladies' "Another Postcard" just came on... :P hehe.... monkeys in the mail! :D

[medeous]

1. i would like to play ATC PIF again
2. i can't because i don't have a scanner at home and i'm not going to work tomorrow
3. my left arm is sore and tired feeling

[Dalmaney]

1. I just taught myself to drive an old Volvo in the dark. It has a manual choke, which is a first. Quite an adventure.

2. It's also very snowy here. This was my first snow-drive of the season.

3. I miss my car... rest her soul.

[medeous]

1. nan has a snowday, too!
2. i've almost convinced her to make me some monkey bread even though it's already an hour past her bedtime.
3. bedtime schmedtime.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I'm listening to a maddening amount of atom and his package...he always cheers me up

2. I can't believe I actually got a couple things done tonight! yippie!

3. Now I don't know what to do...the boy still isn't do for a while...grrrr

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

can't do anything i need to do until tomorrow at least

tomorrow i will get things done

everytime you hicup your heart stops

[medeous]

1. i'd like to get my teeth capped
2. but they file them off first, which scares me
3. and i'm too cheap to pay for it.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

i have thought about getting major dental renovations

i have decided it's not worth the cost since I've grown accustomed to my gnarly teeth

a sneeze is equal to 1/10of an orgasm

[medeous]

somehow, sneezing 10 times in a row doesn't make me as happy as one orgasm.

my left arm still hurts...maybe i'm having a stroke.

monkey bread will be mine within 15 minutes, i've been told.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

you would smell toast burning if it was a stroke, unless you were actually burning toast

wait, that's for seizures.....

Mojojojo found her makeup sponge.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I don't know what monkey bread is, so I'm not sure why I want some...

2. my hubs is hoping to someday have his teeth capped...he's scared of dentists and dentists are expense...so I dunno...

3. I think dentists are a bit shady...I don't entirely trust them :ph34r:

[chunkymonkey]

1. I'm out of mod podge. I was out yesterday but I forgot to get more.

2. 24 won the golden globe. :lol:

3. I've had champage tonight B)

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. for $1000 you can get married on the bridge of the Enterprise...It's in Las Vegas in a hotel or something

2. Star Trek makes me feel like a big loser...why do I love it???

3. Hmmm...I'm hungry. I still want monkey bread. I still don't know what monkey bread is...

[medeous]

1. this is monkey bread http://mercury.walagata.com/w/medeous/monkeybread.jpg
2. no monkeys were harmed in the making of this bread http://mercury.walagata.com/w/medeous/monkey.jpg
3. monkeys would probably eat monkey bread if they had the chance

[hammerquill]

1. Now I'm hungry.

2. I want the recipe.

3. I am still suspicious of the name, though...

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. damn! monkey bread looks freakin' good...

2. Ummm...our pipes are frozen again. It's all my fault. I forgot to let the hot water trickle after my shower.

3. (*&#^%@())(*$@^!#!!!!!

[chunkymonkey]

1. Why am I still in here posting?

2. My back hurts

3. I haven't read the newspaper yet... I could go do that.

[hammerquill]

1. I am much higher up the Top Posters standings than I feel I have any right to be, having hardly paid attention to them till tonight.

2. I think I should make it a point to slip further down the standings, but this will require the cooperation of some of the other manic chain gamers.

3. I'm going to bed now.

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. right now i should be moving stuff around rather than sitting here posting...ahh well...this is much more fun.

2. when i eat corn and mashed potatoes in the same meal...i like to mix them up on my plate and eat them that way.,..i dunno...they taste better when i do it :P

3. tomatoes make me gag

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. hmm...yes, I cannot believe I let myself stay up this late again.

2. In an hour I have to drive the car. I have to run errands and be dull

3. I don't like being dull, but it's what I do best....

DOA? dull? hard to believe! :P

1. i am currently the only one living in my apartment...i'm used to people being here all the time...it gets quite lonely when you're the only one.

2. i was planning on getting off the computer and hooking my computer up on my new desk...however...everytime i attempt to do it, i somehow manage to lose interest

3. i like churos...mmmm churos

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I am in fact the most dull person I know.

2. Well...ok, maybe not the most dull...but I'm up there

3. I hope all this crappy weather means everything's closed today. I don't want to leave the house and be dull. I want to stay here where the kitties find me entertaining.

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. i will be mucho excited by the time may comes around

2. but until them i wil be mucho stressed

Oh yes it sure is

2. when it gets to be this late I sit and stare at the words I've typed. They look so strange, not at all like something that means anything.

3. It's like when you say a word over and over and eventually it starts to sound completely alien and ridiculous

1. hmmm...lets just pretend that I make sense....

lol sometimes i sit and wonder how they ever even managed to come up with the english language...like who decided that a shoe would be called a shoe? and a head a head :blink:

1. i feel like alphabetizing my dvd's...no reason really...i never know what i'm in the mood to watch until i look through them several times anyways

2. i hardly ever eat popcorn...i hate when it gets stuck in my teeth, especially at the movies because then i can't enjoy the movie...i'm too busy picking the popcorn out of my teeth.

3. brocolli is my favorite veggie.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. my favorite vegetable is the mushroom

2. It's not really a vegetable

3. I wish mushrooms looked like they do in the Super Mario games....

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. i'm sitting here and can't think of anything to put down.

2. i have to babysit tonight and in the morning...that doesn't excite me one bit.

3. some days i am dull...other days people find me exciting lol

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I don't see how anyone with an avatar as amusing as yours could possibly be dull

2. grrr...It's about time to say good-bye to the chain games

1. i like string cheese...but i'm picky when it comes to which kinds i eat lol...some just don't taste right :P

2. i should probably get some stuff done before i go to bed.

3. i must continue looking for a job when i wake up.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. looking for jobs makes me feel bad about myself....nobody gives me the good jobs...I always end up doing something that leaves me smelling like grease at the end of the day.

2. Oh I want to stay here with the chain games, but there's all this crap to do.

3. I keep thinking the sooner I get this stuff done, the sooner I can sleep...sleep doesn't sound all that great though....

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. it's hard to find a job when no one seems to be hiring

2. i have to call my mom sometime after i wake up and have a long talk with her

3. she has been extremely negative the past few weeks...it gets annoying after a while

[cindi1023]

1. Last night my windshield wipers froze in a kind of warped position, and took almost the entire drive to work to defrost. Meanwhile, we're having icy rain. I'm trying to drive down the interstate in the middle of rush hour traffic (and about 12 bizillion tractor trailers), and there's a spot directly in front of my eyes, about as big around as my head, that's not being swept by the windshield wipers. Made for an interesting drive to work...

2. There's no coffee yet.... neeed.....coffee......must......have......coffee......

3. One of my coworkers is late. Again. She never gets in trouble for being late. But if it's me, all hell breaks loose.... damn double standards!

[Dalmaney]

1. It's -26*C outside, but it feels like -37!
2. Tomorrow will be colder yet.
3. I am such a farm girl and can not help but talk about the weather.

I've cleaned off my car of snow, although I don not plan to travel today.
