"i like grapes" LOL Ya dang nut!

Yeah, thought it a little off. I'm better but still have funk. Hope you guys are all recovered! I'm getting the flu shot next year fo sho! ;) Have a good day Yac!

Sorry, my sense of humor left after I blew my nose for the 20th time before leaving the house this mornin', blondie. I'm gonna snap if we go into round two. :( Hope you enjoy the rest of the day off-man!

Only you Yacs, only you. Did make me smile though, thanks off-man. Your motto should be something along the lines of leaving completely irrelevant quotes in the blogs of golo. I think you need to practice, what do you think? ;)

yeah.... I think you may have a point.

oh well. Keeps peoples on their toes! ;)

ill have to check out TAF's...hadn't heard of them! thanks! :)

No offense taken, kind sir. My skin is thicker than that... that is the beauty of this place...we all have different opinions and are FREE to voice them. My son is doing good. Talk to him every few days. He is lucky...he seems to be in a pretty calm area, thank goodness.

shes allowed outside because the other cats dont let her use the litter box. hence the name stinky. lol, no- i don't think the others get jealous- I honestly think they don't care for her, so they probably LIKE it whens shes out! lol. We HAD nine- I gave one away...would give away a couple of others, but think hubby might object...lol

Yes, I remember it was a few weeks before my son was first able to call me. They will be calling soon.

I'll have to acknowledge that correlation between intelligence and spelling ability hasn't been proven either. I'm just making the observation as I see it. Your comments were fair game.

This thread is confusing me. I see three possibilities: 1) Y'all are answering Ashen's comments from another exchange; 2) Ashen made comments here, but they were deleted; or 3) Ashen is SpunkyGirlRaisedInTheSouth. I'm going to get some coffee and think harder about this. Yacs

I was deleted. The results of which are on my profile. I thought it was funny, others didn't. I can't be that name you mentioned, I just don't carry the kind of weight that it would require to have that name.

Or daring to go where no smart man has gone before.

Well, I don’t know if I’m leaving-leaving. I’ll leave my profile in place. I just don’t plan on logging on or reading it for a while. Work is killing me plus home life is busy too. I also have a couple of websites to maintain, and other stuff. Just need to back off for a while.

I appreciate the kind comments.

Great show last night. D. and I really enjoy Comedy Worx. We had to scoot home early unexpectedly - kid called. You guys at the Worx rule!!!

Hey Yacs - it was all last minute about who, what, when - so no worries. Lolly Jr, was fine - she had gotten home from the movies earlier than expected. Se ya again at the Worx soon.

Dude, had a good time, had to drag lolly there. I am still wondering about some one with my name reserved a table for 8. I should have joined in . . .

I think I am dumb here...who is Jim???

I am not sure...always thought of you as a Friend *smiles* Who needs that button to prove it Right??? *HUGS* Ohhh you may be right...I just did not know that is why I asked...never really thought about Angela having a Boss but guess she does *LOL* I wish people would act like grown ups instead of pressing that abuse button...so childish in my opinion.

Are you cool? I'm cool. Are we cool?

somebody complained about alot of people using the word alot...seriously - I know, you think I'm kidding, don't you!? Guess what - I'm not!

"/* Punches jukebox */"

/* Rubbing forehead swearing never to hide behind jukebox again */

Is she gone?

Is who gone?

What?

What's up Yac-o? How you been? It looks like you've slowed down a little at the office.

I'm just making dimes and passing time. I'm ready for summer vacation if I even have time to take it. It's going to be a busy summer here in the office.

Yo Yac!!! What UP?

no, just snide and snarky remarks. Everyone has their own pet peeve's, and it's "spelling" for some. But then there are others on here, who delight in posting commentary about other people's posts in order to build their own egos, by be-littling and degrading, and basically being bullies to people on the site. You know, when they make comments like "can't you read?" or, "by the way, get a dictionary..." blah,blah,blah. I think some of it is a cultural difference (nawth vs. south, hehe) some of it's just bad manners...

Pinky

"curse my job!"

I've had one of those days, too.

I hope you feel better tonight.

/* Lolly smiles and waves */

lol - his unit...lol Only you Yacs, Only you! ;)

Hope you're enjoying the night.

Good morning, Yacs, hope it's a great day for you.

"Thanks. That's good to know. I didn't ask in order to correct your grammar; I am genuinely interested as to whether it's considered offensive by a member of that race. I appreciate the response."

I didn't take it that way, although it did need to be corrected.

I've lived long enough to have seen more than enough ugliness and rancor directed towards this group or that one. It seems to me, at times, like the greatest offense one can commit in America is being different. It always seems to invite the ugliest response. That's made me try to avoid treating others in that way.

I tend to stick up for the underdog, which is probably what rankles many around here.

"Some, yes. There are other qualities that people dislike, but I won't state them unless asked."

It wouldn't bother me if you wanted to enumerate then.

"Btw, your underdog sentiment is somewhat ironic, since Feisty assesses herself the same way."

I find that odd, since every demographic or group I can find which she either defends or identifies herself with is typically the majority one. It'd take an eloquent and detailed description of how this equates to sticking up for the underdog to convince me of its validity, but I'm always willing to entertain someone's argument.

That said, though, it's hard to square that perception of herself with the use of words like "dike" to describe other posters. That just seems like bullying to me.

Okay ... LOL glad to meet ya too

"Some people consider you arrogant. I think you already knew that, but I didn't want to just volunteer it."

I guess I can understand why, but I've also been accused of trying to belittle people for doing nothing more than speaking in a manner and with a vocabulary no different from that I would use in any other conversation or discussion I would have during my day or with a friend. I'm not sure what I can do about that one. Not tooting my own horn, but I'm a Harvard, Georgetown, Berkeley and LSE educated attorney with a Ph.D in Economics. I can't really sound like something other than what I am, so I'm not sure what to do about that one. I do appreciate the insight though.

"Beyond ... it's all about your politic(al) views"

That one I understand and carry no ill will about. People believe what they believe, and there are many right answers.

"Beyond that, you stand on either side of a very wide chasm. :-)"

That's rather like saying the Titanic had a small water problem. :-)

Are you claiming Sick or Wierd?

"Lemme check with my wife and get back to you."

That's cool, because I'll take anything.

"Milky, did you ever know you are my hero?"

BUSTED! So that's what you did after a long day of Little House re-runs, you got out the kleenex and popped your Beaches video in the betamax!!! What do rice cakes taste like?

It was weird, because I've never really been into cats. I have always had dogs, but Ive always thought cats were too "licky". He actually grew on me a little. I might get one one day.

"What makes you think that line had anything to do with Beaches???"

Okay....

...and they taste like cardboard.

Thanks for commenting on my blog. I appreciate the feedback!

You have heard of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom? WoW!!!

I do not think I can ever look at a coconut without thinking about that. Plus the fact I made a huge coconut tree with coconuts last year.

Will you ever stop eating kittens?

wow, somebody has too much time on their hands, hmm, wonder who that could be . . . ?

your website is nice - your writing is pretty funny . . .

:-)

I meant it with every breath I take !!!

hi...by....hi....by....hi Hope thst covers all your blogs ;)

LOL..I always keep my arms open for shelter for those who may just need a hug or to be coaxed..LOL..it is all I have to offer..LOL..I am good. Life is great and I am alive so I truly have no complaints. How have you been?

I'm mad at myself for letting you spin my Beaches trap around on me. That was weak.

I didn't know there was a pop up for Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

BTW, I work in preK-5th grade.

LOL, silly is good. Lots going on, just need motivation to keep up with it all. How bout you'ns?
