I’m sick, and therefore I’m bored.

Opal… I have some great soup in my freezer that ChiefScott made. Would you like some? Hope you feel better soon.

I never thought I would utter this statement, but I have been polled.

Can this information be used against me?
I suppose I should have thought of that before I took the polls.

Okay. Now you know how i feel.
Although I flunked the “How Well Do You Know Opal?”
I gotta study more.

I didn’t choose anything for the “I think personal home pages should be . . .” because I have no strong feelings about them.
Opal, are you using us as an unpaid focus group for your site? 🙂

I was pretty sure before I took the survey, but it has been confirmed that I really _don’t_ know Opal.

Okey-dokey, I’ve done the “Chicken Soup for the Ailing Opal” polls.
It was an illuminating experience. Some choices gave me pause not becaue my answers weren’t easy, but because pondering the possiblilities.
Hope ya feel better soon, Opal. You are funnier, funkier, more stimulating company when bored and sick than many folks are at the top of their pre-fab form.

In a runaway victory, the general populace thinks you’re insane.

A lot of people took these polls, and Opal didn’t have to bribe a single one! Impressive. By the way, I fall solidly into the “I love Opal and would do anything she asks” category.

Zeb: heh. I noticed that. Should I be offended? Hmmm…
Oh, and last time I checked, only ONE person had gotten that question right. Heh.

But Opal, I certainly wasn’t one of those people who voted that \ Get well. And I envy your ability to do anything when you’re sick. I just lay around and whine.

oh heck that’s nothing. Yesterday while I was sick and up all night with insomnia, I created the animation and pages for the “Swamp Coolers 101” thing here: [http://fathom.org/opalcat/swamp.html](http://fathom.org/opalcat/swamp.html)
and made a picture of my angel boy sleeping on some clouds (click to see the full size) \[\

I’ve been polled. And I got 5 out of 10 right on the “How Well Do You Know Opal” quiz… Not bad, in my estimation.
**Opal** , does Stephen Baldwin really think you’re insane? Gotta hear that story.
