Welcome Hasty! See you were easy to nick. 
Jump on in anytime for any reason. You are now a Cool Kid! When Moooooom returns from vacation she will fling confetti with abandon.
Alright, you two. Am I going to have to send you to your rooms without supper?
Hey everyone! Dotty, I’m sorry to hear you all are still knee-deep in it. Poor little Noor. Get better soon!
Did I tell you all about Antiques Roadshow? If so, it’s coming up soon! If not, well, Antiques Roadshow, the PBS program, is taping a show from Kentucky this summer. Being in marketing/communciations at the “host” PBS station means good old Ellen gets to work the thing. Actually, what we’ll be doing is mining the thousands of loyal viewers who’ll be standing in line for hours with their sexy-leg lamps, or whatever, for audience information and feedback on our marketing efforts. So, comfortable shoes here I come. The taping is July 28.
I’m in a rather sour mood. I had an argument with my ex-husband over the telephone last night. The good news is that I stood toe-to-toe with him. The bad news is, it was an argument and not a conversation. Not a lot of progress was made. And on the third hand, I’m terribly glad to not be married to him any longer. These difficult periods always serve as a renewed reminder of how grateful I am for my new, loving and permanent husband – although frankly, such gratitude is never far from my heart.
Well, you fit right in! We didn’t even have to inform you of the [del]ritual sacrefices[/del] customary donations
Hey, if you send us both to the same room, I’ll be happy to skip supper!
(But you saw this coming from a mile out, dincha? You’d be disappointed if I didn’t latch on… Admit it already!)
I dub thee: Shorthand.
Actually, it’s just a quick suggestion. Welcome!
I never dubbed before, felt kind of nice. I might be dubbing all day.
ETA: …or, Postitnote?
Carry on like that, and you’ll end up in the same room as meeks and Special1 - then we’ll see who’s doing the dubbing!
I admit nothing. At least not without a lawyer present
That room’s gonna awful crowded…
If you dub too much you’ll go blind 
…"I only :dubbed: 'till I needed glasses - then I quit.
Welcome Hasty!!!
Drive-by!!! Hiya mumpers, and newbie mumpers!
Busy busy busty…
You just gotta know this won’t be left alone!
… cite?
Posit without the firt T is how we often write it in Spain, to reflect how we pronounce it. And I think that given its actual meaning as a “real word”, it’s very appropiate for a Doper. Welcome, Posit!
Swampy, with a record like that, your mates are going to love you or hate you before your first paycheck I know many people who grumbled about safety goggles until the first time they saw projected chemicals, all of a sudden they would shudup. At least your projected chemicals were of the sticky kind, rather than the corrosive one!
Do you guys think Kissimee (did I spell that right?) might come from that? halo
One of the nasty nasty things that can be done to someone in Spanish is enviarlo al coño su madre or in the polite version enviarlo de vuelta al remitente. That’s, respectively, “to send him back into his mother’s netherparts” and “to send him back to sender.” There’s more variants, of course.
Oh lordy - please make it stop. I swear we have gone through 8 changes of clothes and at least 15 nappies/diapers today. Enough already!
Heya Postit! Welcome. Just ignore me and my sh*tfest. This may go on for another 3 or so days if the doctor is right (Please Og, NOOOOOOO!!!)
Wow swampy - that’s a really beery story! Sounds like fun!
Ellen and Sean - boo-sucks on the crap with the respective exes! I might even think that the actual crap I am dealing with is easier to handle than your figurative crap!
HEEELLLLOOOOOOO NURSE!
I’m the cute one
Please note that I am staying determinedly out of all this flirting!
GAHHHHHHHHH! Why oh why do people send me these e-mails? You know, the “Ollie North warned Al Gore about Bin Laden” or “Clinton made Israel let Mohammed Atta free, and then he did 911” ones?
My neighbor, bless her demented soul sent me those today.
It was all I could do, that when I Snopes’d her (yes, it’s a verb now) to NOT hit 'reply to all"
Rosie - great MMP!
MBG - I don’t mind “Hasty” as long as it only refers to my posts 
but
Nava - I REALLY like “Posit” :{{{{Nava}}}}:
Dotty - don’t worry, I’m a grampa - so I’m beyond bein grossed-out by kiddo’s. And I hope Noor gets well soon!
Posit
HEEEEELLLLLLOOOOOO OTHER CUTE NURSE!
Meeks, jealous much?
