This is the thread where everyone is random.

[Hermione]

Today I went to look at sofas with my family. We picked out a tan microfiber one.. SO SOFT!:)

[nycwriters]

Hahahahahahaha!

I work with ALL men. I am the token estrogen. So needless to say the past three weeks of me being morose and weepy has made them all tread very lightly around me ... I think I scared them. Hehe. (I'm lucky to still have a job!)

Anyhow, I must be doing well today (doc prescribed meds, it's making me a little euphoric, but oh man what a relief) --- one by one, each of them have come up and asked me something (before they used the 10 foot pole rule) ... the last of them actually said "feeling better today? good, you actually look a lot better."

Sorry, it made me chuckle. I must have been miserable to have around the past three weeks.

[Hermione]

I am SO glad you are feeling better! :)

[Avalon]

that'a girl :)

[nycwriters]

Yaaay! Two women got mugged directly outside of our (work) building tonight.

A colleague is driving me home. We figure the two of us will be enough to kick anyone's ass. Ha! She's a born and bred NYer and I have a lot of anger right now. :)

[zenbabe]

We are moving to Scottsdale!!!!

[Aphrodite]

Alright Zen!

I was looking for something to give you and this is what I came up with:

A guide

A job
a personnel office (http://www.royalpersonnel.com/templates/index.php)


A drink

I hope you and your colleagues stay safe:)

Glad to know NYC is feeling better and ready to take on any mugger who comes within a city block, surbhi is comfortable on her new couch (Microfiber! Cool!), and zenny is getting to a bigger city!
Am I the only guy in the world who actually asks when he sees a female co-worker who is obviously depressed? I see no reason not to try and cheer them up. I always get the same answer, though, "Nooooo...I'm okaaaaay..."

[AllegroNg]

While I was at work yesterday, a car drove into the grocery store next to us.

Thankfully, no one was hurt, and the merciless Food Lion suffered little.

[daverbee]

"Merciless Food Lion"
That's an accurate description!

[AllegroNg]

Oh! Congrats on your 7k, Lala! Git yerself one a them threads started!!

[daverbee]

How is it I can be idle for the first hour of the day and up to my neck in it the rest of the day? Don't answer that.

[nycwriters]

I just walked 25 blocks home in under 30 minutes (with a stop at the grocery store) and now I'm eating THE best pastrami sandwich. Whee!

It's these defining moments in life that really matter. :D

[Frieda]

[red]

My coworker brought me lunch today!! Her boyfriend cooked up so much Asian food she brought me some!!

my a/c is out. it's 90 degrees (or more cuz the thermostat doesn't go that high) in my house. i'm going to go buy some popsicles.

[nycwriters]

underwear in the freezer.

[daverbee]

In spite of being much busier than had anticipated this afternoon, I am proud to say I got everything I wanted to get done finished. And then some!

[nycwriters]

YAY DAVER! :D

[daverbee]

Thanky!
And congrats on that trek! I'd say the sandwich was just reward!

I guess I should just be glad they weren't nekkid pictures.

The pigeons are driving Emma nuts today ... she's flung herself at the window about eight times this morning and then comes running over to me meowing as if to say "LOOK! LOOK!"

[red]

my cats tries to talk to the birds and squirrels.

My cat goes to the Vet for her annual checkup tomorrow. Stressful times ahead in the Rbee household!

[Clytie]

They call me Dr. Worm,
Good morning, how are you? I'm Dr. Worm.
I'm interested in things,
I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm,
I am an actual worm,
I live like a worm.

[red]

that's not what Turbo is doing, right?

[Frieda]

no, that´s what she isn´t doing..

she´s going through a "what goes into the front comes out on the front"-phase.. got pills from the vet and special food and hopefully it´ll stay in..

[red]

aawww poor kitty

[Frieda]

mm last time she had such crap going on she almost died, i really hope it´s going better this time.. :(

[red]

she probably got dehydrated. poor little baby.

[Frieda]

i hope she`s going to be better soon!

[nycwriters]

I hope your kitty gets better!

[Frieda]

thanks guys :)

[Avalon]

Frieda, try feeding her tiny bits of her food at a time. When kids are throwing up, we start with 1 tsp every 10 minutes. If that doesn't stay down we go to 15 minutes.

Try to get some water in to her as well.
Give her a kitty kiss and keep us informed. okay?

[Frieda]

wow, that's EXACTLY what the vet said!

she gave me special cat food that's easy to digest and very nutricious, i have to give her one can a day of that stuff, in very small portions. the vet also gave turbo a shot for the dehydration..

2 years ago she had the same symptoms, and then it turned out that her intestines got stuck into each other and she had an operation and everything.. so horrible to see.. :(

have to see how it goes this weekend and i have to come back on monday for a checkup and right away when she gets worse. man, i really hope for the best. poor kitty!

I think I will make a caesar in fact ... I have clamato in the fridge.

Woo.

[zenbabe]

That's just nasty!

You never know.

I met my husband at work.

I was the office manager and he was the boss guy's right hand man.

After I had been there about a week, I thought, "Okay. He calls his mother, he has a ton of women friends who call here for him, he has lovely manners, he brought flowers for the outgoing office manager (a matronly little mother hen type), he's a good dresser, he's an architect, he's single, he's witty and warm and charming and he's gorgeous. And I really like him. Rats! Damn! As much as I'd love another friend and confidante, why must every nice man I meet be gay? I WANT A BOYFRIEND! I wanna have SEX, dammit! Aren't there any nice unmarried straight men ANYWHERE EVER ANY MORE?"

I found out in due time that he is most certainly not gay. LOL We still laugh about it.

[zenbabe]

I make killer salmon!

i have to go to bed but i'm afraid i'll miss something important...

I-Robot was typical Will Smith goodness. I think I have a crush on him. :)

Best line of the movie:

Bad guy is going on and on and on ... blah, blah, blah ...

Will sneezes really loud. Everyone in the room looks at him startled.

And he says: "Oh sorry, I have an allergy to bullshit."

I have to remember that line. :)

Go see it. It's fun.

[lapietra]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :D

Love it, love it love it. Will Smith. Yum.

[fodder]

doesn't matter since we hardly talk anymore, but...

my friend sent me his short story

read it, exchanged comments

i was just flipping through a folder and right-click-propertied on his story icons to customize them when i discovered it already said the author was his roommate, who majored in creative writing

he could have been using his roommates computer who could have had his name set to appear under author. the stories sound like him, and he's pretty honest although he has this weird, haughty, vague side

i don't think i can be drunk around him w/o bringing this up

i guess it's kind of pointless to bring this up to someone who isn't an extremely close friend, though

[noxxville]

I want to start a miniature farm. I could have mini horses, pygmy goats, i bet they have pygmy cows too. I'd hire a midget ranch foreman. We'd have a great little time.

[Clytie]

whats worse the fact that you had this odd random thought?

or the fact that i researched it?

my favorite thing was to go to the swap meet and ride the mini ponies. i then begged my parents for horsey lessons. i still have pics of me, 5 years-old, in a pink velour sweat suit and white helmet, learning how to ride and care for horses. awesome.

My grandparents had llamas. I thought they were camels.

i hate it when slurpees get to that point where you can't slurp them through the straw anymore and you have to poke new holes in the mush to get them to slurp so after a while your slurpee looks like a moonscape.

[Spicy Jack]

shake it.

i like when it is melted at the bottom. yum.

[masterofNone]

shaking it doesn't work.

[Aphrodite]

What colour is your favourite slurpee moonscape MoN?
I like the blue one, but then your tongue turns blue and it is hard to be taken seriously with a blue tongue.

The same thing happens to the Tim Hortons Iced Cappuccino.
You have to keep stirring it with the straw. Stir, Sip, Stir, Sip.

i'm a cola slurpee moN. sort of the vanilla of slurpees i guess. i have no more slurpee on which to perform further experiments.

I think cherry is the vanilla of slurpee.


edited to add: I can only find Pina Colada flavor in the ghetto 7-11's where you run in and run out praying not to get shot. Why's that?

[masterofNone]

it'd hailing. sounds like i've got roofers on my house.

Do you have a basement you should be in moN?

I'm also going to get the straight shit from his doctor. My grandmother talks in circles.

So I went to the TMJ doctor yesterday. I was so smitten with him. I kept gazing into his boyish green eyes. He is one dashing fellow. ::::sigh::::

he wants to give me botox injections for my jaw:eek:

[dinzdale]

I feel like I just had a bottox injection.

I went back to court today, sat around for 3 hours, didnt even get to say or do anything, then the lizards came in all smiles and said I could go, cos they had an out of court settlement ready.
Thank you for farking up another day, thank you for making me sit around, while you ponce around in your Armani hair reading smutty e-mail on your Blackberry from over-made-up copyroom girls, who think everything you say is so farking clever, when all they want is a meal ticket and spa facials every week and an SUV in the Woodlands, while I have serious work to do and you cant smoke in the court, but that doesnt bother you does it, as long as you can lie on a hot rock in the afternoon....

day two in the disintegration of dinzdale progressed as scheduled....

meanwhile, i had court in northernmost louisiana and it was very dear to my heart when the bailiff called court to order in a confederate accent that made me remember home...

Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina,
She's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize,
She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
_
Steal their Seoul in South Korea, make Antarctica cry Uncle,
From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues,
Well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
_
She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back!
_
Well she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia,
Then she'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth,
She put the Miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Oh tell me where in the world is... Oh tell me where can she be?
_
Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu...!
_
Well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam every nation,
She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery,
Her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

it felt real when she said the 831 at the omega of the convo. i was feeling it, too- the gentle influence of dopamine and phenylethylamine on my stomach.

[daverbee]

Now, in addition to being hot, it'll be sticky. Woo-farkin'-hoo.

I found this nice Western Styled Ass hat online.

the hospital ones are pink!

[red]

I hope I never have to use one.

[daverbee]

From all the crockery that gets excavated from ancient sites, I'd have to say that Potter was probably the equivalent occupation to Computer Tech in Roman times.
I'm guessing archeologists who excavate from our times will marvel at all the motherboards, modems, video cards, and monitors they uncover!:)

[Hermione]

I hurt my back.. ouch!

[Clytie]

152 insites to my soul?

what a cheesy line...but true

[trisherina]

All three of us are wearing our LIVESTRONG (http://www.bicyclinghub.com/liwr.html) bracelets. N starts chemo Monday. Go N! Go Lance!

[trisherina]

Kind of you pfp,I'll pass em on... she doesn't want me to visit til chemo's done. If things don't turn out well, I hope like hell I can tell her how much I love her without sounding too much like a complete and utter doorknob.

Awww cool! They look really nice. :) (Cute men. :D)

[Magpie]

Good vibes from me too Trisher...may I ask who N is?

[trisherina]

She lives in Santa Ynez, California. She's 52, married, with two grown children. We were introduced about three years ago by a mutual friend and have been pretty much inseparable by phone, email, and MSN (I live a long way away, in Alberta) since. When this spring she was complaining a lot about her face swelling and her blood pressure going through the roof, it took my brain almost a month to register moon face as a symptom. Her doctors were very resistive to doing cortisol testing (and one of them was an endocrinologist!!), but they finally did, and yes she had Cushing's, and yes a big tumah, and it was yes malignant in a very nasty fashion with a terrible prognosis. Now that endocrinologist is a little embarrassed. "Rarer than hen's teeth," he told her as an excuse for why he blew it. Adrenal cortical carcinoma occurs in 1:1,500,000. Yay. He's an incompetent weenie.

Our mutual friend, who lives in Minneapolis, is a big Lance Armstrong fan and cooked up an idea surrounding these bracelets. She bought a bunch and to get one (notice following the link above: they are hard to come by these days!), you have to donate to the N Foundation, which is just a slush fund for N to do whatever she wants once chemo is done, like maybe travel. If anyone is interested (hey, these armbands are verra cool!) in getting an armband, p-mail me and I'll be on it.

[Magpie]

Hey Trish... my nephews all wear them, not because they have cancer but because a couple of them have sickle cell anemia and have many friends who are cancer patients - not to mention the fact that they are huge sports fans and wear other athlete's rubber wrist bands.

Brilliant idea these rubber thingies huh?... and for just a buck, anyone can buy one... they are all over the place here, not just the LiveStrong ones.

Because Lance did the bracelet 'deal' in conjunction w/Nike (sooo smart), most authorized Nike dealers are carrying them here (US) or in my area anyhow... for anyone else who's interested, here's some chain stores that carry them and online infoP:

All Nike Town locations
Lady/Mens/Kids Footlocker
Prime Outlet Stores (+many other outlet malls)
Most Bike/Cyclery Stores


Nike Wear Yellow Info (http://www.nike.com/wearyellow/index_f.html)

WHAT a horrific story of your friends cancer discovery :( How very frightening for all of you. All the best to her... she's got a good friend in you :)

L.A. Confidential: The Secrets of Lance Armstrong which alleges the five-time winner of the Tour de France has used performance-enhancing drugs.

I don't blame him.
Hard work always seems to end up getting as much negative attention as lazy good-for-nothings whjo use performance enhancing drugs.
Jan Ullrich should know more about Lance Armstrong than anyone and he says he can't be using drugs and that he has the potential for winning *nine* in a row!

[Clytie]

anyone else hear that somewhere is SAfrica a ref got out a gun and killed the coach because he questioned his ruling...

some ppls kids...

[daverbee]

Things like that have happened here before.
Remember that guy in Boston (?) who beat a father to death because their sons got in a ruckus at a hockey game? He got a manslaughter conviction and should be out sometime soon...

[beckstra]

And there he was, dressed in drag and foaming at the mouth. So I slapped him, ya know? Penguins just shouldn't be looked at like that.

Good for you, Becks! Somebody's gotta look out for the penguins!
btw, have you noticed that your Random thread is probably the most popular thread on this board?

[SmirkingRevenge]

I learned how to make dim sum watching TV this morning. My mother will be very happy. Now I just need pots and pans

[Frieda]

maybe 600 situps was a bit too much last night.. fvck.. :eek:

[red]

I love Dim Sum!!

yes, 600 situps is a bit much unless you were counting by 100s.

[priceyfatprude]

I want to be Brini Maxwell when I grow up.

Modest. You wrote a lot of highly readable and interesting words. :)

[masterofNone]

i can simulate modesty.

[Spicy Jack]

The USPS SUCKS! Grrrrr!!!!!!!!!! They lost my mail. I received a notice (over a week ago) that they "attempted to deliver" so I went in the next day to pick it up, and they don't have it. Wha? So I go back everyday FOR A WEEK and they "are still keeping an eye out for it. We will call you if we find it." I am slightly ruffed at this point and say "so you are telling me you lost it." And they say, "we just don't know where it is", I repeat "so you lost it, I has been over a week and you still don't know where it is YOU LOST IT" I am no longer nice at this point. "It may have been returned to the sender" "HOW CAN IT BE RETURNED IF YOU NEVER FOUND IT, I CAME IN EVERYDAY LOOKING FOR IT" :mad:

What can I do? Nothing I guess. It is lost. Boo. :(

[daverbee]

A couple of years ago when me dear ole Ma went up to WNC for the summer, she had all her mail forwarded to her PO Box number up there. The USPS, in all their infinite wisdom, sent all mail up there so she was getting mine in addition to hers.
I went in to explain the situation. The USPS, in all their infinte wisdom, began sending back all our mail stamping it Return To Sender, Addressee No Longer At This Address!
It might cost us more, but maybe privatizing would be a good idea for the Postal Service...it'd keep customers from going (ahem) postal.
*Runs and hides*

[Spicy Jack]

uh....i just got a big ass pink bouquet of flowers delivered to my office. um.... it's not my b-day ... it's not a special occasion ... i don't have a boyfriend or potential for that matter .... um. uh. they do have my name on them ... er ...

(side note) NACHO GRAMS! EVEN BETTER IDEA ...*jotting notes*

back to the flowers

oh....I'm sorry flowers. :( from a friend. *sigh*

[Clytie]

FLOWERS!!!!!!! oooo tell us all who they are from!!! i love getting flowers (when i used to have a bf) but i agree nachograms would be great!

[Spicy Jack]

How excited would I be if I just had nachos delivered to my office?!?! I need a secret admirer, one with the power to produce Nacho Grams.

o/ This is your Nacho Nacho Gram
from one of your
adoring fans

:p LOVE IT!

[daverbee]

Expanding on the idea of the Nacho Bar?
First thing we do is see if we can copyright the name "Nacho". Then we go into product development.
We already have nacho bars and nacho grams. What else?
*Real* nacho bars? Like candy bars only nacho flavored?
Edible panties are old hat. How 'bout nacho flavored edible underwear? Dinz could be in charge of that side of the business.
Nachos on a stick? Nacho flavored bubble gum?
Any other ideas?

[daverbee]

Also, congrats on having a secret admirer!
When you find out who it is, bring him over for a visit so we can all make sure we approve of him!

[Spicy Jack]

nacho girls...that wear sombreros filled with chips and nacho cheese and very little else.

[Spicy Jack]

[daverbee]

With enough cheese sauce, anything is good. Even octopus burritos.
And on that note, I'm going home.

[Spicy Jack]

Bye octopus burrito breath! See you tomorrow!
