I wonder if you could baste a Turkey with a bottle of that... You get my five funny points for the day, with the standard disclaimer that they don't do much for your score but might do something for your ego. -A. Though, come to think of it, you also get my five retching points of th

I go to my favorites and then go to their favorites who are also on my favorites list--and that's how I branch out and meet new blogs, too: I go to their favorites who are not my favorites. It's logical, right? Someone whose blog I enjoy reading will have something in common with someone else's blog that I haven't read....? I think I can do BlueDev, Raven, historyishere, Muggaz, and Shades in that order (or close to it) before I start using the back bu

Well, so this is Danny. Thanks for commenting on my blog. We have in common our age, mathematical abilities, religion and political views (though I admit I voted for Badnarik). I also love cheese--nothing like a brie, basil, and tomato baguette (yes, tomatoes are food from my regional gods (okay, my parents grow really good ones and give them away)). As for medical, well, my d

Ah, Raven, you've stolen my most succinct response. And Mugz--funerals are a real rip off, aren't they? Y'know in the states we can buy caskets at Costco? "Yes, I'll take four crates of Cheerios, three buckets of milk, and a casket, please." V. weird. Methinks me'll go read Mr. Bassette's blog now. Haven't noticed him before, but I can't say no to a guy giving me e-flowers (ooh,

If (and I do mean if, as I have no present plans to do so) I were to find myself e-jected from my blog, the following is my pre-mortem directive to be conducted post-mortem. An unnotarized copy resides with my legal counsel (a friend who hasn't been able to pass the bar) and in my fire-proof, flood-proof, bomb-proof, idiot-accessible safety deposit box. Just in case.<

That was my ex-roommate and I. Can't believe you remember that. Or it might've been more my roommate and my boyfriend who came up with it. 'S been awhile. Trogdor has gotten into chasing laser pointers, and he doesn't watch where he's going so if you move the point against the wall too quickly, he'll bash right into it. It's pretty funny. <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" bo

What's this I'm listening to? A CD? Looks like its cover is made out of lined college-ruled paper and the writing is penned over the top....what could it be? Why, it's "STRONG BAD SINGS and other type hits." Mmm. I just may have to meditate now. -A. Okay, now I have to confess to lying: I watch Homestar runner occasionally--and the e-mails are pretty damn funny--but I got the CD for H on the condition that I wouldn't have to

Okay, but would we do away with drive-thrus? 'cause if there were a bouncer in the drive-thru, I'd just run him over. * (Oh. Wait. I think my height-to-weight ratio would get me in, anyway. Never mind.) * Carry on. -A.

There are times that I think it would be better to be bland--to not really care one way or the other; to not invest a lot of myself into a situation or person; to simply be rather than to be consumed I do that. It's not all bad, but making friends takes eons the way I go about it. I have a million acqua

Can I add low-rise jeans to the list? I don't mind women wearing them (I find them to be very comfortable) but there's something disturbing about hearing giggling 11-year-old girls in the department store talking about which pair has a smaller zip fly.... I suppose they go with the bare midriffs, though. (The HR person where I was just hired was informing me of the dress code and apparently midriffs are out for conservative adults in the editing world,

Me likey the article. Funny (no offense there, eh?). Can't identify, really, as I'm married and H and I rarely dated--we were coworkers. But I have a few awful dates--the guy with haliotosis, the French guy who couldn't understand what I was saying (and vice versa).... Anyway, you get my 5 funny points for the day. Doesn't do anything to your score but may boost the ego. Beware.

I took the quiz and ended up with a character I don't even know. Will it ruin our friendship if I admit that I don't watch the Simpsons? (In my defense, we don't get Fox reception....but I never have watched it.) Alas. -A.

Geez. If the age of retirement really was 25 and I could start collecting social security (while it lasts), I'd love it. Finally get to go to Greece like I've always wanted. And I'd only have to work for, um, a few more months. V. nice idea. Like the random blogs, but a cat's breath smelling of cat food? Unheard of! Stop the presses! /sarcasm I want a cat.

H got a bookkeeping job here in town--yesterday was his first day. The business is in disarray and he's quite pleased about helping them get everything organized and back on track. I would die if I had to do it, but that's what he's good at. Ironically, the dream job H applied for and did not receive was for Marsh & McLennan, the embattled insurance company w

Yeah, good points. Even Renee Zellweger quit answering questions about her weight gain for her role--I think the Academy Awards or Golden Globes came at a time when she was filming BJD2 and she told a reporter not to ask her about her weight and all the stupid TV hosts were gushing about how great she looked even though she'd had to put on weight.... blech. Hollywood needs a dose of reality. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColo

But I find myself unable to come up with any answer. I think whoever she puts as the half blood prince, we are all going to look back at all the past books and go... 'oh yeah, there's the clue.'
