Dang it! I told it to show my sig line. We need us some new hampsters!
pfffft, sig line. Big deal. For my birthday last year, I got something slinky from Rue. Yep. He sent me a Slinky[sup]TM[/sup]! Top that, swampasaurus!!
Yeah, but, all the dopers can’t see your slinky. They can see my sig line. So NYAAAH
Speak for yourself. I can see she’s slinky.
Not everyone can SEE your sig line Swampy. Some of us try to be as much like Fenris as we can (good ol’ Dad) and have the sigs turned off to save effort of the ham(p)sters.
But it’s still really nice, you taking your sig from me. It makes me feel all warm and tingley. Unless the computer’s just plugged into an outlet with a faulty ground wire.
Oh, and since I mentioned Fenris pretty much just to drop names… Esprix! Ha! Now I’ll lure him in when he does a vanity search. For NO GOOD REASON!
-Rue.
Rue of course Welbywife gets the big “W”. That was the concession I made to keep eternal control of the remote.
Hmmm, that would explain that mysterious, not-quite-hidden camera mounted in the corner… :eek: Shibb, if you’re gonna spy on me, you gotta learn to be more subtle about it. And if your spying has you thinking I"m slinky, maybe you need to check your optics…
It’s slinky, it’s slinky, oh what a wonderful toy…
Oh great. That’s gonna be in my head all day now.
I also baked a cake and poured red and black icing over it. It looks kind of weird, but it tastes pretty good. Anyone want some?
Maybe I should get a light-up pink flamingo to hang on the wall. It’ll be like a hunting trophy, except not.
You have pourable icing? I didn’t know there was such a thing. Oh well, live and learn. Or live anyway in my case.
Is the black icing “licorice”? I don’t like licorice. Unless it’s just black icing. Then that would be OK.
That kinda makes me happy that I don’t have to worry about anything house-cleany-like until September…'course, I have all that house-buildy stuff between now and then, so I’m sure there is a trade-off somewhere.
Willy hears ye. Willy don’ care…

Esprix
House-cleaney stuff think? Aren’t you currently in an apartment? So come September, you just stick your stuff in boxes and put the boxes on a truck destined for your new digs and kaboom! All done. You might want to sweep before you leave, but that’s about it.
(Yeah, I am somewhat jealous. Can you tell?)
Look! Look! Esprix showed up! Hi Esprix!
Who else can we lure in here? Eve? Naw, she doesn’t show up on searches. Cecil? Ya think? He has been around lately. But I don’t think he does vanity searches. I wouldn’t figure he’d have to.
Oh yeah, Eve said:
In response to someone"pitying the empty shell her life must be." (Ha!) (Oh heck, it’s from this Pit thread. But that’s not what’s important.)
It got me thinking… if I were to meet Eve sometime, where exactlywould I have to put my ear to hear the ocean? Just so I’m prepared.
Also, my boy Katcha reads at the First Grade Level. I just found out at the Parent-Teacher Conference last night. Yup, he’s a young genius.
-Rue.
Yeah Katcha reading at the First Grade Level would be rather amazing since he doesn’t turn 3 for about 5 weeks.
Soupo reads at the First Grade Level as I found out last night.
It would be amazing if I knew which of my boys I’m talking about at any given time.
Rue, do you call them by each other’s names to their faces? I can remember my dad doing roll call trying to match the right name to the right kid, and there are 5 of us. OK, technically I’m not a kid any longer, but you know what I meant.
I’ve only got one kid, and I have to catch myself - sometimes I want to call her by one of my sisters’ names. This is especially disturbing because my Perfect Child[sup]TM[/sup] is nothing like any of my sisters. But that’ s neither here nor there.
Yay for Soupo!! Give him lots of books. Get him to read to you. Encourage him. That way, when you’re old and doddering and infirm, he’ll be able to sit at your bedside in The Home and read to you. Not that you’ll care by that time, since you’ll prolly mostly drool all over yourself. But at that point, it’s not about you - it’s about him making a show of compassion.
Trust me - I wouldn’t lie to you!
Believe it or not, I don’t care, but my mother once had a cat that loved to be vacuumed, especially with the little attachment used to clean Venetian blinds.
I wish. The cat thinks the vacuum cleaner is the Evil Tool Of Doom. Maybe I should vacuum right now just to keep him from running around smacking into my ankles.
The black icing isn’t licorice, Rue. It’s just black. I didn’t know you could get food colouring that was different shades of green, or food colouring that was black, or burgundy, or lavender. I think that’s really cool.
Black icing?!? The blue stuff stains my teeth. I guess black would just make you look like a hillbilly.
You can do a search to see if someone is talking about you? Hmmmm . . . I bet no one talks about me though.
So how old is Soupo? We need to know in order to be impressed. I mean if he’s in the eighth grade he needs help.
Soupo is 74 months old Copper. You can be impressed if you want.
The “vanity search” is an old and venerable tradition of narcissim in which I, unfortunately, cannot partake. Can’t search “Rue” since it’s only three letters long, and since you never know how anyone’s going to spell “DeDay” it’s not worth the effort. Usually it’s “De Day” which is not searchable either. Poor, poor me.
Oh yeah Lissla, you can get all sorts of colors. Even colors you can mix with other colors for custom colored icing if you want to put that much effort into things. (Oh, and “icing”. Is that different than “frosting”? I’m not sure.)
At least you can get it down here in the States. The decadence is never ending around here.
Oh man Snickers! I call the boys by each others’ name, by the dogs’ names, by assorted family members’ name, game show hosts’ names sometimes. You never know what they’ll get called.
Sometimes I just have to resort to calling out “You!” and pointing. It saves all sorts of time that way.
-Rue.
I’ve still got the cake. Any takers?..
hollow echo
Oh, come on. I want to get rid of it, or I’ll eat it and get fat. It’s really not that bad tasting. Someone? Anyone?
