How nice is struuter? Did she guess that the $350 a month is a COBRA? How tired am I of insurance companies? And that my appointment is a mere 8 days after my job ends? ARGH?
Can you guess that Swiddles is taking a page from Scarlett O’Hara and is “Thinking about it tomorrow, when I’m stronger?”
Isn’t it funny how your whole day can change in one minute? Can you guess how Swiddles managed to weasle her way out of her insurance problem? Would it help to know that she has 5 vacation days stored up and one personal day? Can you believe that her kickass manager agreed to OK a plan to use one personal day the 24th, and her 5 vacation days for the 25th-31st, thereby giving her insurance through the 31st, thereby covering her ass? How excellent is that?
Isn’t it grand? ::can you see me skipping through my office?::
Do you know how worried I was? Can you hear the sigh of relief? Now the big question–where do I send the chocolate malt after your surgery?
Do you know that I had THREE of them after my wisdom teeth came out? Do you know what movie I watched? Would it help to know that ‘Beaches’ does not bring back good memories for me? Do you know that every time I see Bette Midler my mouth hurts?
Can I just say that I’m soooooooo happy things worked out for you, Swiddles?
How was the show Swiddles? Was it as good as I would hope it could have been? Is it alright that I was hoping you would show up to the party but was not very dissapointed because I knew you would be tired? Is it still cool that I ran into someone on the subway that did go to the show and said he had a great time? Can anyone imagine what a weekend of sitting meditation continuously asking myself just one question hours on end is like? Don’t you think perhaps this board needs some more color? Could it look good in beige do you think? Have you ever considered taking a vacation in your own home? What am I? Does anyone need a hug? Doesn’t sandalwood smell really good? Was there even the remotest possiblity that perhaps everyone else had a party without me? Am I so distrought now? What do you believe a smile bigger than your face could hold?
SwimmingRiddles, doesn’t your plan mean that you’ll be wasting a vacation day to have your wisdom teeth out? Why do I get the feeling you don’t mind a bit. And any way I can hold your virtual hand to help you get through it?
struuter,
80s new wave–Do you really want to hurt me?
Geography–Do you know the way to San Jose?
Animation(Saturday morning)–Scooby Doo, where are you?
Animation/live action hybrid–Who framed Roger Rabbit?
Animation(classic)–What’s up, doc?
Robot,
Friends–How YOU doin’?
Have you ever noticed that virtually all pick-up lines are questions? Anybody want to try any out on me? (Did I say that? When will I learn?)
Hey Struuter, would you like to come over to my house and play doctor? How 'bout we just play house? How about we just play together naked in my bed and forget all the other games?
Are you kidding? Do you have to ask? (oops…rhetorical question there)
Do you think you’d like that? Can you imagine how much I would? Would you like to hear one of my favorite quotes from my favorite grammar book?
How about you and me get together and do away with some of the possibilities?
Is it an indication of how wonderful the show was that I have already hit the web site and requested a tape from the tape traders? Or that of the 6 Guster shows I’ve been to, this was by far the best? How was your retreat? How was your retreat? How was your retreat? (funny, huh?)
Robot: Did you know I’m leaving this job, so the vacation money would be handed to me anyway, this way it’s just that I say that I am still employed until the 31st? Can you see how I am still getting the same amount of money (more, because my boss OKed using one personal day, which I wouldn’t have gotten paid for) whether I say my last day is teh 23rd, and they pay me all the money, or I say my last day is the 31st, and they pay me for being on “vacation?” And can you see how it’s all the same, money-wise?
Should I get an ibook, kids? Will I be disappointed in their hard-to-upgrade-ness? Should I crawl under my desk and take a nap?
I’m not sure exactly what the difference is, was I being ironic or facetious?
struuter, what’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?
Could you tell I was waiting for you?
Have I been away so long?
Don’t you know that you’re always gone too long, anytime you go away?
And must my time here always be too brief?
How can I know? Shall I confide in you that any time you’re here is a happy time for me?
Haven’t seen anybody around for a while, think we’re closing the joint?
does anyone else feel like this entire thread sounds like the end of a soap opera? Are there any Dopers in this thread who live in Chicago?
Would you believe the retreat was very Zen?
Would struuter prefer if men were hitting on her all the time?
Does Robot Arm have any parts to speak of?
Did you consider, Swiddles, all the possiblities concerning an iBook? Do YOU think it’s a good idea? Mind if I crawl under there with you?
Would everyone please have a good night?
Would I sleep better if someone crawled in bed with me?
soul, do you know how seldom I get hit on? Can you imagine how lucky I feel any time I do here? How pathetic is that? Will everyone have a good morning?
