…The moment before you saw this thread? …While you were lying in bed waiting for time to drag yourself out of it? …The last time something really riled you? …The last time you felt good, like all your worries melted away? This is a variant of a thread I posted years ago. I did a backwards search (oldest first) on my own threads and found a ‘what were you thinking’ thread. I’m bored and I figured being nosey about people’s random thought habits would entertain me for a bit. eta:: I seem to love making people do or think things. ---

Will **elfkin** ever share her shoe hypothesis with us? I wonder if my roommate agrees or disagrees with the restricted sale of certain types of merchandise? (FTR, he does.) Happy thoughts. Happy thoughts! HAPPY THOUGHTS! I wonder when the other shoe will drop? ---

Or back in the 80s. (Haven’t those years been declared fictional, anyways?) ---

**The moment before you saw this thread?** Was it “You have a degree in baloney” or “You’ve got a degree in baloney”? **…While you were lying in bed waiting for time to drag yourself out of it?** Mouth… dry. Fuzzy navels are girly but still pack as much punch as a “man” drink. Try Jack & 7 next time, not bad. Where’s Kendra? **…The last time something really riled you?** That man is a felonious cropduster. I think I’m going to puke. **…The last time you felt good, like all your worries melted away?** Hey, I remember Max Headroom! All right! ---

The moment before you saw this thread? Finally sitting down after a long day of shovelling, lifting, and mopping feels SOOOOOO good! …While you were lying in bed waiting for time to drag yourself out of it? Wonder how much snow I’m gonna have to clean off the car? …The last time something really riled you? We live in MAINE. It snows here. DEAL with it! My coworkers are a bunch of whiny cowards. …The last time you felt good, like all your worries melted away? Um, I honestly don’t remember the last time I felt that way… ---

_…The moment before you saw this thread?_ “I should go and pour myself another cup of tea before the pot gets cold”. _…While you were lying in bed waiting for time to drag yourself out of it?_ “Is that… a rabbit?” (It was) \*…The last time something really riled you? \*“Don’t get angry! You’ll only feel like crap if you let this get to you. Don’t get angry, stay calm!” _…The last time you felt good, like all your worries melted away?_ I don’t remember specific thoughts, I just remember laughing a lot and feeling great all over.
