Reply to She'd lick every one of you if she could in Dogs JoeUser Forums

She's gorgeous. My family always raised English Bulldogs....hmm, a blog in itself, perhaps. One of them was in my wedding this summer as the ringbearer. Misbehaved, of course. But bulldogs are dumb--it'd be nice to have a dog that learns how to obey. Using sticks to get balls out from under the porch? I thought it was a big deal that apes used bamboo to get ants out from their holes. A flaw in the evolutionary chain, then, your dog being so m

This is really cool. It's something-I'd-hang-on-my-wall cool. Grr. Wish I knew more about art and could make apropos comments. But it's just downright cool. -A.

Reply to What was/is your nickname? in Misc JoeUser Forums

(Bad joke, Angloesque!/Yes, I know.) I'm joking--you can leave it--except that I actually can't edit it right now. The little 'Q" and magnifying glass icons are there, but the paper/pencil edit one is gone. I've found that the power to edit the site's custom links and edit my own articles comes and goes sometimes. Dunno if that's a Mozilla thing or a JU thing. -A.

Reply to 100 articles- A retrospective and thank you in Blogging JoeUser Forums

This is one of those times where I am just now realizing that someone appreciated my thoughts. Thanks. Happy 100. I'm one of those geezers who let the big one-uh-oh go by without realizing it. *sigh* So hard to get old. Cheers. -A.

Reply to What was/is your nickname? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I must be drunk to be writing this. I'm not sure H even knows this nickname (my blog name is taken in part from it): Tullola Loop-Loop Leaky-Bottom Hammond Dunno where "Tullola" came from; "Loop-Loop" is the place we skiied when I was little and was one of my first words; "Leaky-Bottom" should be self-explanatory, but I feel the need to interject that this name came about before I was potty-trained, which was at a normal rate and fast

Raven, d'ya think smacking my SIL upside the head would work? Hmm. I'll have to think about it. (My cynical side says, "Well, someone should!") Mugz, I know you're right--she didn't mean to hurt. This isn't her first, however, so ... y'know. It gets old. I keep hoping she'll grow out of it--I was like this when I was a teenager. (BTW, she only works three jobs--the fourth was a p

Reply to A Sense of Humour in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

Hey Mugz, I agree. A sense of humor is one of the most valuable characteristics in a person--my H has a good one. As for sarcasm, well, that's a sanity saver. But since it's so hard to recognize in blogsphere, I've made a sign (props to Ravenblack) to warn viewers of forthcoming sarcasm:

Good thoughts, BlueDev. It can never hurt to give a bit of thought before opening your mouth, even in jest. Sometimes my mouth says things my brain hits it for later, but it's learning. -A.

Nah, I'm kidding. Unless anyone else knows better, I think "adult" is for lewd or sexual content. Sadly, I couldn't find any good adult icons for signs.... -A.

"You're a dumbass...ha ha, just kidding!" in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Does adding the tag "just kidding" to an insult make everything better? I give you my sister-in-law (SIL): She's in college and has a severe case of what I call Youngest Child Syndrome. Basically, YCS means you get away with a lot of crap the older kids wouldn't get away with--you're more independent and opinionated. And then there are those who get away with it unche

"No Monday-morning quarterback has ever won a game." ...Except for some of those who play in Monday Night Football. Oops, sorry. /tangent I think the media is endorsing Kerry because, like Bahu said in #11, they're embarrassed that they fell so hard for Bush's Iraq and are trying to

Reply to Renting Life in Misc JoeUser Forums

My friends are all buying houses and getting pregnant and they've worked for their companies for a few or several years already. Not me. I hate how life feels temporary sometimes--your post's title made me think of that. It's like not living in the same apartment for more than a year, not holding the same job for more than a year, not knowing where we're going to be in a year. It really feels like everything is rented and all the effort and m

8) ...hate a blogger at first and then come to like her later, and then end up hating her again? Oh yes. I kick myself in the ass for not liking someone, and I try to see the positive in them...but the dislike factor is so huge it always comes back and wins out in the end. Btw, you're not talking about me, are you?
