You too, huh? I spent most of Saturday doing that, but luckily it was well organized and went smoothly, so moving her from Queens to Brooklyn took about six hours. That freed up the evening for the show at Radio City.

I’ll have been posting here for 10 years on 3/10/09 (Happy Anniversary, everyone!) and plan to be here another 10.

Sorry!

I shall take a hot cocoa, please.

Do you still plan on being a charter member? (I do.)

That sounds nice actually. I haven’t been to Radio City since I was a kid. But I was on Manhattan right before Christmas. My friend took me to see the carrier Intrepid. It was fun but cold. Also I so wanted to shop for handbags but he kept herding me along.

Me and my friend, it took us several days to move him. Saturday was the marathon. We clocked 11 hours almost straight. But I did get a Quarter Pounder w/cheese out of the deal. He ate the roll.

And holy crap, this guy has moved enough in the past to know that one person should never have that much stuff. I may have to mess him up. 😃

Knickers still unknotted, boxers not bunched, and I can’t think of anything to ryme with “Tighty whities”

I just popped in and saw that the oldest of the meltdowns has made it to page 22 or some such. I’m still not interested in reading through it. But I was hoping that someone could esplain the snugglypupy thing to me? What was that about?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This thread is for those that don’t want to get involved! How can we be oblivious when people keep drawing our attention to it???

Not THAT made me laugh out loud. I’ll be using that in the future. People around here are always saying “Now don’t get yer panties in a bunch” to which I will now reply. “Hey man, my tighty whities are feeling mighty!”

Good luck with that! If you could take pictures of their faces after you say this, it’d be much appreciated. 🙂
