[Sapphire]

I'm cooking a turkey right now because I can't wait for the Holidays.

My internet connection has been extremely unreliable the last few days.

I have a weird fixation with the show "Dirty Jobs" on The Discovery Channel.

On the theme of "Dirty Jobs," I find myself wondering just how much money the host is getting paid for what he does - whatever it is, it isn't enough.

My husband is wearing my girlie bathrobe right now because his is dirty - and I think he looks cuter in it than I do.

[trisherina]

I visited the Little Mountain Cemetery today
I'm not going to get better
Everyone's very angry
All of this was easily preventable
You won't see me for a while.

[Jack Flanders]

:confused: :confused: :confused:

[Hermione]

i hope you're okay trish :( sending good vibes your way.

[laughingbuddha]

I want to sing a song

5. My cat is sick and can't go outside and he's pissed b/c he hates to use a litter box.

[jasmina]

5. i am an ebayaholic. i currently have my eye on a 1970s ice bucket. in the shape of a pineapple.

[dddrum]

1.) Potato Bread + Crunchy Peanut Butter + Apple Slices + Iceberg Lettuce + Miracle Whip = a heckuva sammitch. You can also cut the apple into little bits, and stir them up with the PB and the Whip, to make a tasty spread with cheese 'n crackers. Love, Heloise.

2.) I had my house appraised this morning, as part of refinancing, which is all the rage, doncha know. I'm a little disappointed because I had thought they said the house would be praised, and I expected the guy to say "Holy cow, that's quite a house you have, there! I mean, WOW! I've seen houses before, but goddam, this one is just SUPER!" He did not.

3.) I hate it when I'm desperately looking for something, and I find something that is almost, but not actually, the item. Like looking for my '04 income tax documents, and then, after much rummaging and ransacking, turning up the '03 return, with no sign of the one I'm looking for, nor any indication of why it would be in a different place. That "OH HERE IT IS!!! Um, no, it's not," feeling makes me nauseous.

4.) What is it with KFC? First they try to convince us that the KF really means "Kitchen Fresh" instead of "Kentucky Fried" (which is kind of like claiming that Ronald McDonald is actually a nun), and now they're trying to sneak a new word into our venerable lexicon. I mean, SIDEHOG??? What is up with that? Will the public buy it? Will kids and teens really start bandying it about? I think all KFC's advertising is calculated to avoid discussing the fact that their chicken tastes like poo. I'll stick with Popeye's. KF= Kaka Food.

5.) A pea is the exact opposite size of a canteloupe.


Yrs,
DDD

My bro bought a 1970's cocktail shaker from ebay... in the shape of a pineapple.

My son is driving me absolutely insane.

One of my cats insists on sitting in front of the computer screen and grooming herself while I'm using it and gets real pissy when I attempt to push her away.

The other cat insists on sitting on my lap while I'm using the computer and purposely touches the keyboard which, of course, usually screws up whatever I'm working on and gets real pissy when I attempt to push her off.

The water, refridgerator, stove, engine, VHF, Loran, and autopilot all work... but not sure about the toaster oven or the CD player and TV.

The shower drain pump works but the switch, or possibly the wiring between the power source and the switch, needs fixing.

Lots of lines need replacing fairly soon, her bottom needs scraping, and the bottom and top need painting.

But she's roomy with lots of headroom, with new looking cushions and lots of cabinetry, and looks basically sound, so I put down a deposit on her. :)
