I love my octopus clip! Those things are righteous. You and I probably look a lot alike with our glasses and hair in a bun. Thanks for posting. It's nice to see new pics of new people. Some of you... some of you need to put the camera down.

Some people go in chat to flirt, some go in to talk Rush, some go in to talk about whatever. Sometimes I have logged in and people were in a fight or having a serious conversation and I pulled the, "Log in/Log off" thing. http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/nope1.gif

Then why don´t they leave right away? Good question...maybe it's a "now that I'm here let's see what everyone is talking about. Eh, don't like the conversation, I'm out." I think part of it is this. I also think some of the time it's an accidental click. But every time I'm in chat and someone appears only to quickly disappear, my pride dies a little. Need some aloe for the burn, you know?

I've done so much planting the past few years that at this point, it's just upkeep. I plant annuals in bare pockets though for that constant color. I like the front yard right now because my azaleas have bloomed and they are a pale pink, the Mexican Orange has beautiful tiny white flowers, my rhodies are a brilliant red and with my annuals, I have punches of purple, hot pink, pale blue and navy. My daylilies are about to bloom a bright yellow and the peonies are about to pop. I can't wait. Other than that, for the front, it's just making it look, "nice." We live in an area where at least once a week you have to mow, edge and weed. I laid down bark last weekend and everything looks nice and neat. There's no moss, no bare spots and the grass is nice, full and green.

You dun real good. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/yxi.gif

Seems like we had similar experiences in some ways. Five years ago or so my mom was up for a visit and we were having breakfast in Truckee, CA, on our way to Napa. Out of the bluse she says, "I would have been happy to never have had kids." I chuckled to myself. That must be hard for a child, even as an adult with their own children, to hear. For myself, all I ever heard, over and over and over, growing up is how much pain and suffering I caused her in giving birth to me. She would always finish that one up with "But you were very much wanted." Maybe. My MIL had three boys and she has ALWAYS said that she wanted girls. They heard this constantly growing up and for the life of me I cannot understand why you would say that?! To think it is one thing but you don't say stuff like that out loud. I truly believe she is clueless how wrong it was for her to say that. She still says it. And then I went and had two boys. She was disappointed but I got back at her by saying I'm glad I had boys. Didn't want girls. I'm a mom for boys. Boys are great.

What. Is. Her. NUMBER!!

I held my husbands head tight, nose to nose and had the most insanely maniacal look in my eyes as I said, "I love you" with a tone that said, "You can never escape." The look of fear in his eyes made it SOOOOO worth it!

SO beautifully awesome! Of course this is the winner! Awww-yes.

Happy Anniversary my man!!

Thank you, thank you! Next up: http://www.starfm.com/files/tomhanks.jpg

OMG that's you?!! Nice to see you! :) I love glasses. And I'm not just saying that because I wear glasses too.

Knight Ride Her!

You can hassle my hoff anytime!

I say it quite often but not all the time. I think if you say it all the time, people stop hearing it and it no longer becomes special. No matter how heartfelt it is.

I thought Hyundai meant submarine?!

I had no idea that sink hole was there. And no, I had no idea he couldn't swim and no, this has nothing to do with the life insurance policy I just took out.

"Yeah, put, 'Slight water damage' on the Craigslist ad."

^^^ This. I hit the local thrift stores for certain items. I have found some amazing deals on purses. I get dresses, skirts and tops from thrift stores. Always buy name brand items and I save a TON of cash which goes to spending extra on items like designer jeans.

Your one sick MF!! How could something naughty NOT be your first reaction?! I saw that was like, "I would date her."

I shower twice a day. I wash my undergarments about twice a week. We go through a gross amount of laundry. I run the washing machine 1-3 times a day. At least.

You iron sheets? That's like ironing jeans. What's the point if it's going to get wrinkles anyway? :) My grandmother did it. It's a nice way to spoil yourself. TMI... slipping into ironed, fresh, crisp, clean sheets after a bath, all naked is an amazing feeling.

I LOVE "clean sheet day." They get washed once-twice a week. I love the feel of crisp, clean sheets. If I have time, I iron the top sheet. It's like heaven crawling into bed.

There's a difference between going into a spam thread and casually popping off a handful of posts a day, with those spam posts supplementing your other posts in other parts of the board, and sitting there for hours and hours piling up 1.500 posts in a week. Or 11,000 posts in nine months. It just seems like common sense that you shouldn't spam post your way through a board.
