So, a mod thought I was dead...how's your May long...?

Got a private message from Idle Thoughts that he was shocked to see my name come up, since he thought I was dead…perhaps posting from beyond the grave? Nope, still here, still kicking. Getting ready for the big move to Ottawa.

Not dead. Just in case anyone was wondering. As of right now.

So almost dead: 9 most boring cities in the world ?

I find “I thought you were dead” to be as dangerous as "when are you due?.

Phrases that most likely have good, caring intentions behind them, but are never taken that way by the recipient.

Weren’t you in prison?

I wasn’t offended. More amused.

don’t ask - of course it’s boring. I haven’t gotten there YET!

Nope, nope…not that I recall…although I did have to stop by the CAF Detention Barracks and Prison, but just to drop my puppy off with her dog-sitters…they let me out though. Don’t think that counts.

Wait, what about the tax troubles?

I just re-read “Me Talk Pretty One Day” by David Sedaris and enjoyed his anecdote about taking the subway with his sister Amy Sedaris. Her exit was about 5 stops before he had to get off. As she was leaving the crowded subway car, she hollered back at him, “Good luck beating that rape charge!”

Amy has a very sick sense of humor. I like her.

Do you drink Tab?

Shhh! I figure as long as I wear camouflage, they won’t see me

Hah! You made one. I was joking with her that she should; that it might make an excellent/amusing topic.

And for the record, I figured out what lead to my mistake in the first place…as I explained to Poysyn later:

[QUOTE=Idle Thoughts]
Seems I mixed your name with two others who have passed away, Padeye and Polycarp

…and somehow that came out to be “Poysyn” in my mind…

Suuuuure…except we are friends on Facebook too… :smiley:

What kind of puppy did you end up getting?

Snake, is that you? We all thought you was dead!

We got an incredibly adorable English Mastiff (brindle, she looks like Tiger Stripe ice cream). Her name is Luna.

She sounds cute! I respond with the traditional request for pictures. :smiley:

I thought you was a toad.

Hmmm…although I am not everyone’s cup of tea, I have never been called a toad before…so you’re the first :slight_smile:

She has a Facebook page (don’t all puppies?):

You’ll be stone dead in a moment!
