:eek: No one told me! I’m shocked, SHOCKED I tell you!
Yes, it is. Why do you ask? (it would have been much easier to include this in my last post, but I forgetted. (Forgetted is really a word… go look it up.))
SWM, 18, looking for parentheses for dates and more.
Why? Seriously. It’s amazing how well “I’m going to come over and jump you” works in certain situations. Or, in this case, “Did you shave those lightning bolts into your beard yet?” Get to the point…no one involved is getting any younger.
If a breaker hasn’t tripped, then trace out the wires back to a junction box. I will bet you have a connection in there that came loose, or maybe the inside of a wire nut melted and burned up the wires inside. That’s waht happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Try that before calling an electrician.
Better yet: “Did you shave those lightning bolts into your beard yet? No? Want some help?”
I still can’t picture lightning bolts in a beard. Maybe I’m just waaay to old.
Shocked about what Mika? I haven’t said a word in here about my preference for boys. Not. One. Word.
[sub]psst… jayjay if I ever get near where you are I’m gonna come over and jump you.[/sub]
Yeah, maybe not today, Swampy. <snerk>
Wait, you’re a girl? I had always pictured you as a man. Or do you mean that you prefer boys as friends?
“Good” afternoon.
Ugh. So I got up and went to my first class today (American Government - 500 person lecture) and the prof wasn’t there. The most unintelligible of the TA’s gets on the mic and says we have an in-class assignment to work on in groups of our choice. No lecture, just answer some questions about how you think a SCOFTUS justice would side in some case scenarios. I don’t know anyone in my class (all my friends took it already) so I took the paper and left. So did probably 150 other people. But then my iPod decided to die even though when I left the room it had 1/5 of a battery left. Piece o crap. So I sat on the floor by my French class and read the paper.
Then I had French. My french teacher is from Mexico. Makes for an interesting accent. We had homework due and I actually did it, but she decided that we were going to “do it together” which means no points for doing it. I hate it when she does that. My grade has been slipping (she grades her tests pretty hard) and I could use all the homework padding I can get. This class is worth 5 hours and I need an A.
Then Ethics. My teacher is a 26 year old grad student. Hence, he is awesome. He let us out after 20 minutes because he didn’t want to try and explain the Social Contract to us. And he puts all his notes online and our 2 “textbooks” are only 250 pages each or so, and they are interesting.
Then I had to go run some errands - needed gas in my car, cigarettes, and a prescription filled at Walgreens. I hate Walgreens. It took me an hour to get my scrip filled and they said 15 minutes. Everyone else was there buying candy and crap. Oh well.
I’m debating on whether or not I’m gonna pay and continue to post on this board. I’m pretty broke…even 15 bucks matters now. But I think I’ll find a way because this is the best board I’ve ever posted on.
I am debating calling in tomorrow. Dicuss.
Am also wandering around house, convinced I have Alzeimer’s at this point. I bought patches to patch my youngest’s jeans and now I cannot find the patches! I did find the jeans, so there you go. I KNOW that if I purchase more patches I will either lose the jeans or find the other package of patches.
Welcome to my world–less fun than it sounds.
Oh, Br’er Fox, Br’er Fox, pleeeease don’t t’row me inta dat dere briar patch, Br’er Fox!!
I’m gonna t’row cold water on the lot of you!! [/grouchy woman]
When you find the patches will you hem my daughter’s pants Miss Eleanor? I hate to sew.
Skeptic One … How 'bout I splain the social contract to you. It’s only been 20 years since I was in college. Hobbes. Locke. Rousseau. Man in the state of nature=not good. Man cooperating to form a society=good.
Now you know.
How sweet of you to show up and kiss up to me! 
Thanks, all, for the kind words. I’m not trying to out-**Rue Rue ** (much) but it is fun to have an occasional creative outlet.
Lessee, what else? My garage is still clean - it actually echoes!! Dunno how long it’ll last, but I’m enjoying it more than I probably should.
With luck, I’ll be rid of my old washer today. I placed a Freecycle ad and someone called today. She’s supposed to be here within the hour. And if she doesn’t show, I’ve heard from 2 other people who are interested. So YAY!
Wait, wait… swampy’s gay??? :eek: :eek: Oh, wait, I knew that already. :smack:
Tuna steaks and salad for dinner. Life is good!
elanorrigby, why are you thinking of calling in? Are you sick?
Well, I called LBBM on the pretense of seeing if he had any cardboard, but he’s at work. ::sigh::
That’s a pickup line I’ve never heard. Good job. I hope you left a message.
No. I haven’t called in since June. I am not sure if I have babysitting coverage for tomorrow (loooong story). I pulled a muscle in my neck at Curves and it still hurts a bit. I do heavy, physical work at work–I think I just want a day off.
Discuss some more.*
*really, I want everyone’s unmitigated approval for my plan. Shhh–don’t tell anyone.
I wholeheartedly approve, especially since you haven’t taken a sick day in five months.
Huh… I had you pegged as a GWM. 
As for posting your name, that let me find out that you’re going to school because it’s free, and you were nationally recognized for your ability to speak French (9th in level 1A, whatever that is). You also eat way too much salsa.
Also found your cell number, but not sure of the area code, but it’d be easy enough to look up. You appear to have a relative who’s a police seargent? Do you still play the sax? Ever get a copy of that 40 Dollars a Day episode about Dallas?
Zaba appears to indicate you’ve lived in six cities, so far.
It’s amazing what a dab of Google topped off with a dollop of Zaba can find. You are not anywhere near as anonymous as you might think on the web. As a curiosity, I did this in about ten minutes. I’m not a stalker or otherwise harmful to you - my job involves controlling this sort of personal info - but I just want to point out how easy it is to find a lot out about someone online.
In my neck of the woods those are called mental health days.
swampy, does ACBG know you’re gay??? :eek: :eek: Oh, wait…nevermind.
It’s poke chops and dirtballs for dinner for me tonight. Say, in a related matter, well not actually, but food related, anybody got a good recipe for a sheet cake I can make for the grumpuses 60thanniversary/90th birthday/thanksgiving?
Oh, and the white chili recipe, too, please, ellen
