Re: The cranky thread I HATE having to ask total strangers to be polite more than once. In this case, it was kids throwing a football around near my car. It wasn't until one of them missed and it hit my car, and I asked them a SECOND time not to play near my car that they vacated. But not without a disparaging remark. Hate kids that age. Really, really do. I wonder if I ever have them, if I can lock them up for about 5 years when they turn 12. Or send them off to boarding school, maybe.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Barbara Gordon and/or Mia Dearden ...experiment with bondage Superman and/or Koriand'r (Starfire) ...wake up in the same bed, and don't remember what happened Bruce Wayne and/or Harley Quinn ...are both in love/lust with the same person Cassandra Cain and/or Bruce Wayne ...in a story where wrestling/sparring/fighting leads to sex Yep, I'm amused.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Past tense, passed tense . . . whichever. I have no idea how you caught up on sleep faster than I did. I think it has something to do with the fact that you weren't the one driving first thing and for that last tortorous stretch. *glares*

Re: The cranky thread gah! Just when I thought there was nothing more annoying than the cracking knuckles, she bought a bag of peanuts! *crinkle**long pause of silence, typing**crinkle* I'm surprised nobody at work has noticed the eye twitch, yet.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Is it better to keep coming here and get very little sleep, swear off and STILL not get enough sleep, or should I compromise? And what's the compromise?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I'm gone for 2 lousy weeks, and you're using the ugly avatar?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER must . . . resist . . . Okay, better now. You know I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER been there, done that. Just ask Josh. Or our roommates.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER What, only ONE woman in a bikini? Just no ribs, okay?

Re: A Thread for Random Musings "East Asheville Hardware" by David Wilcox An angel appeared in a holy vision Stood by my bedside in shivering light Spoke my name Told me my mission I could not believe I was hearing him right Because he said, 'Go, my son, go... Always go to East Asheville Hardware Before you go to Lowe's He said, Go to East Asheville Hardware Before you go to Lowe's You'll help to keep them open I'm worried they might close From the stiff competition From the national conglomerate With the full page ad in the color section of the Sunday paper supplement and stacks of plastic swimming pools and seven brands of power tools and rows and rows of registers all having nice days But no, you go, he said to me with light around his face He said, You go first to that age-old place To that old wooden door that you have to close behind you To the wide-board wooden floor worn down soft To the real thing Good advice, quality at a fair price And know that they know how deep the frost goes here. Sure there's stuff you'll have to find at Paty's, Lowe's or Sears But go to East Asheville Hardware Go to East Asheville Hardware Before it disappears. East Asheville Hardware closed about four years ago. And Lowe's is underwater again.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Ohhhhh . . . you're talking about THAT. Last night, I was putting clean laundry away. I went to close the bottom drawer of my bureau, and felt soft resistance. I checked to make sure there were no clothes hanging half out, and tried to close it again. Resistance again. I firmly pushed it, and nothing. Finally, I peeked in the drawer to see what was blocking it. Two yellow-green eyes peered out at me, looking all huge and innocent. I fell over laughing. Literally. When I finally stopped laughing, I peered in at the kitten again (who was still in his hiding spot) and said, "Why didn't you SAY something?" His wide-eyed look just got me giggling again. We finally enticed him out with a dangling string, and I closed the bottom drawer before the OTHER cat could get in. And now for something completely different. Found this linked on Making Light, under the title, "The most inappropriate tribute," or something: http://www.ericawebb.com/091601/ WARNING: not safe for work.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Which one? Herc, the zen ninja kitty, or Jeff, the blobby little bolt of lightning?

Re: Musings on Random Musings Okay, you got me. I don't know what it is for sure, either. But it's often depicted or spoken of as an apple, which bugs me. Because the ONLY fruit mentioned in Genesis is the fig; they covered themselves with fig leaves. It's the Johnny Appleseed propaganda, I tell you!

Re: A Thread for Random Musings The biblical forbidden fruit wasn't an apple, dammit! It was a fig!

Re: Musings on Random Musings

Re: A Thread for Random Musings I'm so tired of being afraid of what's coming out of my faucets. I just wanna do laundry and take a shower!

Re: A Thread for Random Musings My neighbors just drove away in a white Jaguar, then returned about an hour later in a gold Audi.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I didn't post the REALLY dirty-sounding one. Apparently whoever built the generator has something against my first name.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Duchess Furrycheeks. or Private Nutless . . . O v O okay, and that last one's even worse. I'm NOT ascribing that name to myself. especially 'cause it implies I'd kiss our President . . . eeeew. But just my first name yields: Nibbles Scruff.

Re: The cranky thread That's okay. So long as I can't HEAR it. Rrrgh. Good news is, apparently our boss talked to his boss today, and there should be a decision by Monday. Which, according to Heidi, means they might start thinking about it Thursday.

Re: The cranky thread I'm sick and tired of people biting off each other's heads at work. I'm sick of how pissy everyone else is, and I'm sick of the catfights breaking out behind me. And if Wendy cracks her knuckles again during a quiet moment, I may snap. I understand they're frustrated about not being paid enough, and how salary negotiations are turning out. But if they're that angry about it, they can either find another job and SHOW Diamond Brand how much they'd be missed, or they can shut up about it 'til something IS done. And they can try to keep up the professionalism between one another. I've developed a very nasty eye twitch over the word, "Candy," too. Wendy mutters it under her breath when she's in a really bad mood. She self-medicates stress with sugar. I think she'd be better off cutting down on the caffeine.
