We’re having a family emergency right now and I’m waiting for word…it’ll probably be a couple of hours, so I sure would appreciate it if y’all could keep me distracted. Tell me anything and everything, just keep me busy!
*[sub]Don’t worry, I’m fine, TT is fine, and the relative in question will be (physically) fine as well[/sub]
Well, ok. Did you know that a pigs penis is shaped like a corkscrew?
This ought to keep your mind occupied for a while …
There are three words in the English language that end in “gry”. Two of them are angry and … {THUD!!}
:: Jack lays in a heap on floor, a brick laying next to his head ::
As a matter of fact, I’d heard that someplace.
Arghh! Why does time have to pass so slowly? Right now, I’m too pumped w/adreneline to sleep even though I’m so very tired.
Hey Tators, while I no longer frequent the #straightdope, why not kill a few hours in there. In the past you could spend a lot of time wasting the hours chatting about everything under the sun. Sometimes you get a good giggle and it’s all in real time. Good way to take your mind off the yucky stuff in life.
Just a thought.
Oh and hope all is well.
They don’t have mirc or whatever it is installed on this computer, and I’m thinking it’s to keep my cousin out of chatrooms, so I’d better not install it.
Sigh.
And thanks techie, I’m sure all will be well eventually, it’s just this waiting that sucks.
Pout. I think I just started smoking again, too. 
tater, I have an 800 number here at work if you want to call. Or do you need to keep the phone line free?
And they ejaculate around half a liter in a 30 minute orgasm.
I really should keep the line free, bethie, thanks, though. (BTW, check your email)
Right now, I’m amusing myself by peeling off the skin from my sunburn.
I’m thinking of baking, anyone want anything special? I made the yummiest chocolate tea torte the other day, but we’re out of chocolate. Except chocolate chips…maybe I’ll go eat some of those.
Hey tater, I don’t really know you, but if you want to waste some time, feel free to IM me. My IM handle is in my profile.
Sorry, tater-
Just what you needed, another crisis. Well, I don’t have anything distracting to say, just wanted you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Hang in there, and I hope tommorow is a better day for all concerned.
Much Love,
Cheri
Got the mail, tater.
{{{Tracy}}}
Oh honey! I will be on for a while yet so I will keep checking back on you.
My daughter latched on to my sarcastic magic 8 ball otherwise I would entertain you with that this evening.
Thanks, Scotti, I’m hoping it will be. Might I just rant for a moment and say what has been up with my family lately? Two cancers, one knee removal, one divorce, one seriously depressed person and my other cousin is on this diet that seems designed to make me nuts (okay, that’s not really as bad as all the rest, but I have to vent somewhere right? And I know I should feel happy for her, but if I hear her read out the nutritional info from a bag of Wow chips one more time…)
blur, why don’t you IM me, huh? Huh? Why do I always have to make the first move? <–that’s me practicing being assertive. 
This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends. Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they’ll continue singing it forever just because this is the song that never ends…
If you know that tune, it ought to have your mind at least just a little distracted for the next few…minutes? Hours? Whatever. Hope everything’s going okay.
< runs in, drops her drawers, moons tater and runs out again >
Sorry I have a very white ass this time of year, hope I didn’t blind ya.
< snort >
Um, thanks Kerrigan…um, I like having annoying ditties planted in my head. 
techie, I’ll bet my ass is whiter…okay, maybe not whiter, but I haven’t laid out at all and my legs are brown as can be, but my behind is mayo. The contrast is…interesting…
