the daisy rules
- Oopsie Daisy
- Everyone is welcome! The only real rules here are no spamming shit and no posting personal addresses, phone numbers or other similar info. I don't need that kind of stress. That's it, although it could change if someone gets creative or something. If you don't like what is said here, you can: 1) Say so; 2) Hold it in and stew on it; 3. Address it privately to the person who said it; 4) Snark about it to your friends; 5) Leave. Don't bother me with it, I don't care and I won't get involved. I might, however, talk about you behind your back or post your email/message to me on here. *grins* Them's the rules...all of them. Have fun!
do something good

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 512 Newer› Newest»REPOST:
Melissa:
I think it was the "I appreciate your concern" that got me. Like "I'm sorry you've been inconvenienced by my continued living."
I'm still chuckling over it.
AP doesn't disagree with you and coat it in chirpy, perky hate.
There's a difference I can spot.
Doh!! I didn't mean it that way at all. Hopefully AP was able to glean the intended meaning.
AP- that movie is a classic.
I'm sure she got it. My mind just goes in odd directions.
I love The Jerk. God, I could go for watching that movie right now.
<--- really biting my tongue. Or fingers. I am not sure which. You get it, though.
Melissa- glad you are alive!
Priceless...the last word!
Ouch Taiya...don't bite your tongue.
I'm picking out a Thermos for you!! Love it!
I love The Jerk, too...one of my favorite Steve Martin movies. I have a soft spot for Father The Bride, too. When he is having that breakdown in the grocery store, tearing apart hot dog buns...priceless!
So, OT, since I need to distract myself,
my brother (shhh! Don't tell) is going to propose to his gf soon! I am not supposed to tell anyone IRL, so i am sharing it here. I am super excited and we *love this girl as opposed to the crack whore who he broke up with at my wedding. :) Can't wait for it to be official and he bought a doozy of a ring!
"I'm picturing AP with yogurt covered tampons in her ears."
I'd never thought about yogurt in my ears but I really might try it. Kaytie, I've had luck with both vinegar and tea tree oil, but neither cure it.
Oh. My. God. Melissa, you just don't know how glad I am to see you!! Shit. Shit. I read that and just felt damn ill and then couldn't find your blog and that made me worry it really was you and it had been deleted...gah! Yeah, I'm really, really glad you're here and I read it just as you meant it
R@, trust me with this if you never trust anyone with anything again. You and I? Are not alike. Having a common stubborn streak, which we *do share with millions of others, I agree, does not mean we are even remotely similar in any other way. That said, I'll take you over TC or GM any day.
Hd, hey!
Taiya, that is so exciting :) What does the ring look like? (I love living vicariously through others getting engaged/married.)
I was taken advantage by one of those sleazy Israelis at the mall today.
Taiya, why are you biting yourself?
And I must confess something - I have never seen The Jerk. RinM sent me the video.
Umm.. let me see if I can find the photo my mom sent and post it. It is amazing!
HD is...? Am I being a bad blog visitor? Should I know who she is? Feeling sheepish.
Mulie, was it for hand products? Dead Sea Minerals? Or for the nail polisher board? I have fallen victim to both those kiosks.
"I was taken advantage by one of those sleazy Israelis at the mall today."
Be careful. Someone will accuse you of hating Jews. What happened?
Bella, hd has popped in a couple of times in the last few days. I'm not sure where she found us from, though.
hey all, didn't realize new post was up. lol Bella, I'm not bad...just new :)
http://s45.photobucket.com/albums/f88/taiyalcargo/?action=view¤t=Ring.jpg
I purchased some Dead Sea Scrub and some type of lotion. I am so ashamed.
HD, hello! No, I didn't think you were bad, maybe someone was posting under a new name, that's all. Welcome :)
hdTV?
I was biting my tongue so as not to enter the fray, even though I desperately wanted to. I think I am good now.
That is the link to a photo of "the" ring. :)
Ooooo, Taiya! I wish your brother was marrying me! Love that ring!
Heck Yeah, Taiya! So pretty, and I love how it is an Art Deco/antique style. Really beautiful!
Very pretty Taiya.
yeah CK lol I'm more frozen tundra backwoods than JM lol BUT!!!!!! I do have DirecTV ha and I admit to it
Taiya, jump on in and that ring is gorgeous! Is it old or just designed to look old? I love jewelry with an heirloom feel to it.
I am seriously impressed myself. And excited!
Designed to look old.
hd - fellow Minnesotan? I live in not so frozen Plains of MN.
I can't believe I blew $65 on salt and lotion. All while my crotch was burning. I just wanted out of there. He did act surprised when I told him I was 32. He said I look much younger. Of course I do.
Backwoods works for us here, no problem. You'll fit in to this band of misfits and lowlifes just fine :D
You caught us on an, ahem, more animated night, too...and stayed, lol. I like it.
Mulie, I must have missed why your crotch was burning? Did you stuff a Metamucil Fiber Wafer up there, or something?
That ring is so my style. I love something with a vintage feel, but real vintage is cool too!
CK..... WI here but very northern near Lake Superior area
As long as no one trolls here in my absence tonight i think I will abstain from jumping in, lest you get blamed for my cheekiness and disdain.
I *really have to go to bed, though. Pray or send happy thoughts my way for tomorrow because it is my strep test and i want it negative! Also going to do an exam and I wouldn't mind terribly if I heard that something was happening. :) I want to see Eeq!
No, Bella, I have my very first yeast infection! Should I write about it in the baby book?
how many weeks are you, Taiya?
I am sure that your daughter would love to read about that when she was a teen, Mulie. Go for it. :D
Umm.. 35. I have 5 weeks left today.
Goodnight and good luck, Taiya. Let's hear it for a negative GBS and at least 2 cm!
temps here today were mid 70's and then in 20 minutes dropped 30 degrees as the wind shifted off the lake. BRRRRRR quickly
I'll be 34 weeks Friday and I have to start weekly visits now! I also have to do a non-stress test every week. I am not happy about that.
Beautiful place, hd.
Good luck to you and Eeq tomorrow, Taiya. :-)
I just found out a man who abused Jake when he was younger (Jake's dad's BIL, they'd let him "babysit" during visitation) was found dead in a creek bed today. I? Am positively delighted. Best news I've had in days, in fact.
Catching up on what I missed during Lost night, and of all the hilarious things said today -- and there were many -- this one was my favorite: "I was taken advantage by one of those sleazy Israelis at the mall today."
oh wow 2 pg's to follow in here along with my daughter and ALL due around the same time LOL
how cool is that!!!!
Mulie- why non-stress tests?
What kind of abuse, AP? The kind he should go to jail for?
Can I just say how freaking fun you all were today? The combination of bickering, high spirits, lightheartedness, and yeast was completely perfect for me. I love you all so much! ::sniff:
And welcome back to Trudy!
YIKES AP, glad for the relief for you. Hope everyone is finding peace within themselves. tough stuff
Currently watching Lost...give me 10 minutes before any spoilers or a warning...Please and thank you.
I have no clue, Taiya! I only had one or 2 with my first and they were at almost 41 and almost 42 weeks. I am seeing a specialist because I am having a VBAC, so I assume he's having me do it because he has all his high risk patients to it.
Okay, I really have to go to bed. Tomorrow is going to be busy
Good night, Taiya!
"Dead in a creek bed" is much better than "died peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones" in this instance.
SW, the yeast really made the night for me, too. Being taken advantage by Israeli hustlers whilst your crotch is a-flamin'? The crown jewel of the evening.
Mulie, daughter gets non stress tests weekly to test for "breathing" of the baby and movement. So much breathing/movement in so much time otherwise they push on her tummy to make the baby move. We just go with the flow and are happy for them watching to ensure a healthy baby.....as I'm sure you are too
Mulie- fwiw, my husband bought me the salts and a lotion from one of those dead sea places. I really liked them, and I am so not a 'product' girl.
AP- have you ever tried a systemic pill like diflucan for your ear prob? Cuz I don't see the frozen yogurt tampops being so fashionable! :)
We love you, too, SW. Me, especially. And wasn't Lost good?
Mulie, he would pin Jake (and M's daughters) down on the floor, body pin them and not let them breathe. If they cried, he'd pin them harder. He thought it was hilarious and said he was "toughening them up". They were his personal chew toys. Also, they made Jake share the living room with this guy and he'd bring women home from the bars (leaving the kids alone to do so) and God knows what they saw but I know they saw a lot. He'd then discuss his exploits with them the next day, regardless. I don't believe he ever did anything sexual to Jake but I've always felt he may have with his nieces. He's got a long, long rap sheet in multiple states for assault, battery, domestic violence, drugs, theft, etc. The world is a better place with him out of it.
"Can I just say how freaking fun you all were today? The combination of bickering, high spirits, lightheartedness, and yeast was completely perfect for me."
Add flour SW, and you've got some nice fresh bread too!
"AP- have you ever tried a systemic pill like diflucan for your ear prob? Cuz I don't see the frozen yogurt tampops being so fashionable! :)"
I have not but seeing as how I have dainty ears, I think I'll use q-tips. You don't think it'll mold in there, do you?
No, but bugs might like it.
Okay, and because everybody else did, I'm going to weigh in on R2. I like you R2. I always have. You tell funny stories and you are interesting. I "get" AP's opinion that you can be a bully, and I've witnessed that myself. But I was accused of being a bully on SIP myself, the last day I was there when I was defending Kristin. So maybe what was interpreted as bullying in you stems from being defensive of your friends.
I also think from your posts today that you have missed some of us. You seemed to want to connect, and seemed genuinely mystified by some of the opinions about you. I wish you would come back and chat more, and not just when you have a bone to pick with one or more of us, as you did last time you checked in, and this time. There's a wonderful open atmosphere on Daisy that can get uncomfortable due to the openness, but it's really worth the occasional discomfort, for me.
Oh, and I laughed when AP made the crack about the winner of the blog contest getting custody of you. I didn't mean that as a personal attack on you, just thought it was a funny comment.
I think custody of Sue would have been a better prize, frankly, but only because she has the monkey. :-) ::waving to Sue and Sue's monkey::
Bugs. In my ears? Oh, God, that scares me.
Okay your turn, Rhys. PLEASE DON'T GO! You know you like it here and we like you. Stick with us, please.
No spoilers, Sandy. I did like Lost. Didn't get the last couple of minutes because my stupid cable box is acting up. Will ask you how it ended via e-mail, AP. Will not announce the delivery of said e-mail here, because that's not how I roll.
SW - did you see/hear Crystal on AI tonight?
CK, YES! Even though I'm an unrepentent heathen, I loved it! She is in a class above.
Did everyone know that emu eggs have dark green shells, and that one of them equals about 12 chicken eggs?
Now you do.
I think I am going to bed. I have to be at work early tomorrow. Take care everyone :)
Oh, before I forget, we've got a 3pm post scheduled again. Whoever remembers it first, can you alert the others? Hopefully it'll prevent what happened tonight.
The train's for everybody SW. We're all heathens in some way.
Night Bella!
G'night, Bella. And yes, I knew this from Top Chef, I think it was. I'd love to try one.
I'm going to farm for a bit.
Night Bella!
SW,
And some of us more than others....
AP- when my friend was in college she had to sleep with earplugs in b/c the roaches were so bad. they have been known to crawl into sleeping peoples ears. I can barely type that b/c it is so horrifying.
Erin - thanks for that before bed. Not.
<<--not boarding any trains
<<--believes there are atheists in foxholes
Pancreatic cancer just took another good looking, strong, stoic Midwestern woman. Stepmom of a friend of mine. Cancer bites.
Having a heart attack now! Somebody call 911, and then call my mom and tell her my death is Erin Lutz's fault.
Oh, CK, so sorry about that.
I'm sorry, CK. How sad.
Obsessively checking...
CK, I, too, am sorry. I hate cancer.
EL, I'm so damn phobic of roaches, I just can't tell you. We both sleep with those ultrasonic pest repellers plugged in in by our beds. I don't even have a roach problem but they just terrify me and you are not helping.
Done with Lost. That was good.
I had a gnat in my ear once. All I heard was buzzing. It was gross.
I HAD to talk about the yeast today! It's been plaguing me for days! Then that damn Israeli getting in my personal space put me over the edge! I would love to believe his compliments, but I knew he was a liar when he acted so surprised that I was pregnant. I AM AS BIG AS THE SIDE OF A HOUSE!
And he wanted to come over and rub sea salt all over my body.
CK, sorry :( cancer is tough and it sucks for the patient and caregivers, family and friends. Sending prayers to you and their family.
I'm sorry CK.
Sorry. I don't like them either. And since I would feel left out if it was my phobia alone, I thought I would share!
CK- my dad died of pancreatic cancer. 6 weeks from diagnosis till death. Cancer does suck. I have seen enough to last me forever.
AP, Glad the creep is out of your life for reals.
Six weeks, EL. Wow. So sorry.
Mulie, you added that last bit about rubbing salt all over you just to see if we were paying attention, right?
Yuck on cancer, CK and EL.
EL - Shirley Goodness had just short of 7 weeks from diagnosis to death.
Mulie, maybe you should have told *him about the yeast. ;)
Damn, I need to go to bed. But I'm afraid there might be some more "fun" and I would miss it. Ya'll would chat the fuck up all during Lost and then nothing but crickets for me when I get here.
Thank you ladies for your kindness. I just feel connected to this family having gone through it so recently ourselves.
SW, He actually offered. And he cussed A LOT. Loved my eyes. He believes that eyes are the window to the soul and he could tell I was a good person. I wondered if they could tell him how much I wanted to punch him in the face?
Mulie - rub up against him.
CK- a club that sucks. that is for sure. How is your dad doing?
SW- don't forget your earplugs!
I need to go, too, but can't bring myself to do so.
CK, I did not realize that. I guess for some reason I thought your Mom battled cancer for a long time.
Oh, hey, I found Creek Bed Rick.
http://www.dc.state.fl.us/InmateReleases/detail.asp?Bookmark=1&From=list&SessionID=739736744
I told Miss Arse he was dead and her comment?
"I hope he went out with a bang."
CK: I did not realize it was so short a span of time, either. I'm so sorry.
Phew! Finally caught up. Chatty peeps today!
CK: Thing 1's dance teacher had chosen a song for their spring show by a group Lady Antebellum titled "Need you Now". The 2nd verse starts with...
"Another shot of whiskey... (then some more lyrics) 2nd chorus says "It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk, and I need you now..."
Totally not OK for young girls to be dancing to.
On a completely different note: Yogurt covered tampons sound very cold.
I have never been able to buy "lines" from guys and have a personal belief that foreign males are taught every line in the look as their first English lesson.
Holy shit, AP. That's so creepy.
Damn you Tara. I was *just going to bed. Now I will sing that song! It comes on every.single.time I get in the car.
What a creep, AP!
How was Lost? I fixin' to watch it now. Praise the Lord for DVR's!
Tara, thank you for getting Erin back for the cockroach-in-ears nightmares several of us will be having.
Sorry, EL. *big grin*
I need to go to bed. I have applied my medication and am looking forward to sleeping all night with out having to get up for a baking soda bath.
We could all sing that song together and maybe we'd forget about the nasty roaches?
Lost was awesome, Tara! I'm embarrassed to ask, but are you the Tara from OHIH and then SIP? Or another Tara? ::blushing furiously::
Who else is a loser like me and is excited for the new seasons of The Hills and The City?
I'm definitely a (white trash) loser who watchins too much crappy TV, but not those shows.
SW: It's the same Tara. Don't blush, it's OK. I don't have my blog public anymore, so I have my profile unavailable.
Glad to hear Lost was good! I'm so sad the end is almost here. I love that show.
SW- she is the mean Tara who makes people sing bad, innapropriate for kids songs all day, every day in their head. But she does have a nice camera which some people shamlessly covet.
Thanks, SW.
And thanks to those of you who answered my questions honestly. I asked for it, so surely I should be able to take it, right?
And I can.
Yes, I have been bewildered by the animosity directed toward me here at this blog. Obviously. I said as much, and I asked why.
Maybe I'm wrong about this, but I think at least part of it is the medium in which we all met and in which we have always communicated.
I know I can be a snarky bitch. I won it.
So can many of you. I was not alone in that, and you surely never made me feel alone. As good as I am at snarky bitch, some of you have me beat hands down.
I came and asked what I asked honestly, because I didn't understand. I'm not sure still I entirely do, but somewhat I do a nit more. I am glad I asked.
I think the things you've said about mme hurt me the most because I know I'm a nice person, and a good friend. I'm a good Mom and j=have good kids who love me very much. I'm a best friend to my husband who is a really good person. My closest friends IRL have been my friends for years and years. So, reading some of the things that have been said about me here just don;t fit who I know I am, but if they express your true opinions of who I am, then so be it. I'll own whatever part I had in assisting you as you formed that image of me.
All we have here are impersonal words on a cold screen. And sometimes words can hurt. I know that well, and maybe I've hurt some of you with my words. I am sorry, really, if I have. You don't have to accept that apology. But I mean it.
I am just a regular person, with a computer, who stumbled quite accidentally into a roomful of chatting women one day where I found I liked to be. That place blew up, and we all ended up at another place. Then that place blew up, and we ended up scattered here and there; some here, some there, some everywhere.
Things have been said back and forth, feelings have been hurt, there has been distrust and animosity and outright anger and etc. etc.
And behind all of that is where we all were together. It's unrealistic that everyone would like everyone else. It doesn't happen IRL, and is probably less likely to happen in cyberspace, where we lack the ability to use real smiles and voice inflection and body language and all that stuff we all use when we meet people F2F.
But, to find out that you've become the most frequent "butt plug" of jokes for a group of women you used to chat with every day...that's hurtful and unsettling. And that's me.
So, you know, I acknowledge what you all have said about me. I asked you to say it, and I acknowledge it all. There are some things that are simply untrue, or at the least, very mistaken.
I have no intention of changing the minds of those of you who have simply decided that I am just a wicked bitch, but really? I'm not. I'm a nice person, and a good friend. And it hurts me like it would most people when folks say such ugly things about me.
Minus my smile or my wink or the goofy face I might make when I say something snarky, you take whatever I type at face value. Not your fault. It's the nature of the medium.
I don't get how you can so intensely dislike someone you don't even *know,* but I can accept it, and whatever part I had in assisting you in forming that opinion of me.
So anyway, enough of all that. Thanks if you answered me honestly. Clearly, I am not welcome here. It honestly hurts a bit, but you know, maybe at least some of that is my own fault.
Thanks.
That's what I thought Tara, but wanted to be sure. I really liked your smiley picture from SIP and wish you'd put that up as your avatar. That picture always made me smile, and I mean that in a non-Israeli, i.e., non-creepy way.
I'm out ladies. I'm tired and this tube top is killing me. Out of Schlitz too. *See you tomorrow.
LOL--I *won* it=I *own* it.
Make of it what you will. It was a simple typo.
Whatever.
SW, it is creepy. It's brought up a lot of old memories and he's the face of one reason I very nearly moved us to Kaytie, to protect Jake. She'll remember this whole mess well, I know. More reasons I hate Florida - how all this was handled. Or not handled, rather. And I'll hush now but I can honestly say I never wished him to die but since he went and did anyway, I'm glad. If it just so happened to hurt him and cause him to struggle to breathe, bonus points.
SW: My thumbs up smiley face picture? I'm glad my dorkiness made you smile. :D I think I missed the Israeli convo....
Hello all, New here just been lurking for a few days as well as laughing alot..my kids now say they know I am nuts instead of just thinking it. I found you through Chris' site when I was looking at it.
BTW Elisabeth I have his (Chris) banner and such rotating on a friends site and I know it has been clicked at least 30 times today...hopefully one or more of those clicks was a donation.
Anyway thought i would finally pop in and say hello...I am usually on at nights since I work the Vampiric hrs but this weekend have a glorious 4 dyas of seeing sunshine so will of course pop in while relaxing and soaking up the rays.
BTW, I'm going to bed with cotton balls in my ears. No more buggies for me! Later ladies.
Hi Ginger. :o)
Night Sandy!
Wow Tara it is awesome. I really like the reflection in the glasses,even though you didn't love it.
"LOL--I *won* it=I *own* it.
Make of it what you will. It was a simple typo."
Lol, R2. My first thought was "Freudian slip"...it was a cute typo. No worries and you are absolutely welcome here, really. Just know it's a free speech zone, as you're discovering, but it also tends to be a very personally responsible zone with everyone willing to own their own stupid shit and say they're sorry when need be. If you can behave, it'll all die off soon enough and you'll just be another Daisy like the rest of us, if you care to stick it out. :-)
Night Sandy! Welcome, Ginger!
Hi, Ginger! I'm glad you finally came out of hiding and it's nice to meet you.
And night R2! I hope that you will come back.
Melissa- so glad you are alive and checked in. =) I think I called you Michelle earlier but anyway was worried when AP posted that today.
Sandy- soak those cotton balls in some yogurt for good measure. ;)
I still cannot even believe I suggested yogurt pops but you know, yeast infections are the pits. Figured if you get desperate enough, anything would help, LOL. Glad you got meds from the doc though Mulie.
Checking from work again so gotta run. It's impossible to keep up with y'all tonight and it's driving me up the wall 'cause I don't want to miss anything. =(
Hey hd! Good to see you back again.
Hey Ginger and welcome!! I'm new, too. So cool to hear of Chris' video/site being passed around.
Oh, Ginger is our secret admirer, AP? The one you asked about yesterday?
Tara, that's gorgeous. *You're gorgeous and I really like the reflection a lot.
And I really am going to farm now. I think.
Did I not just apologize?
Uhm. Didn't I?
AP, I've wished people dead lots of times. I should feel bad about it, but they all deserved it, truly. None of them died. But one accidentally set himself on fire. Corinne thinks she's the only one of us with powerful mojo, but she's not.
Thank You all for the welcome, so far I have liked everything I have read. Seems like an awesome group of woman/people/Chris. Most of the people I know are very 'watch what I say' or it will (not may) be taken wrong and spread out as something completly different. Nice to see a place that you don't have to worry about a 360 being taken on what is said.
Not sure who is still on.... just wanted to check in and say everything's okay, just a really busy time for me with another fundraiser, basketball season extended because we WON last Wednesday, marking piling up.... I can't do "Oopsie Daisy-lite" so I had to conform myself with checking via BlackBerry a few minutes here and there but I am hopelessly out of the loop. Caught up a little though...
AP: Sounds like the world's a better place without Rick.
Kaytie: Okay you'll have to help me out here... are you *deliberately referring to SIP as "SPI"? Because if you are I think that's awesome.
Um let me think, what else...
yeast infections (cranberry juice seconded),
Taiya at 35 weeks: I delivered a 6lb 15oz baby at 35 weeks! Good luck in the home stretch.
Some other stuff I'm going to deliberately ignore. Glad to read along but I don't want to dredge up stuff again, just don't have the stamina for it. And I didn't keep notes, boo...
Missed keeping up with you guys, hope to be on more regularly soon... Back to marking and lurking...
R2, I feel badly that you are so tightly wound. I wish you would relax and settle in. I believe you are a good person, but you have a bit of a hair trigger, hon.
Why not just stay, start telling us about your bus rides? I've missed hearing about your commute a lot. Remind everybody about your charming side. You have one; I've seen it.
lol SW-um I don't know if I am THAT secret admirer, I did not see anything yesterday as I actually had 1 night off and I was spending time with my gorgeous 6 month old niece from Vegas at the park and then shopping of which I told her not to tell her uncle how much I spent on her lol.
FT! We've missed you so much!! ::grabbing FT and rubbing salt on her::
R2:
I don't think AP meant "you" specifically needed to apologize; it was just a general "you."
I could be wrong, though. That's how I read it.
OK y'all. I'm going to go watch Lost now. Have a great night!
FT:
I was just thinking of you! Look at the powers of my mind...
Enjoy Lost, Tara!
My hell we're a talkative bunch - when you started this new post, I read the first 5 comments and then thought I'll come right back and chat... 139 comments later.... sheesh! Now to catch up!
Mulie I've gotten that Dead Sea Scrub and love it!
Yeah, but Karen, did a hot Israeli offer to rub it allll over you?
I was thinking of you because of a Hallmark card Melissa and I think should exist. And then I thought of the Family Guy where Quagmire buys a card for a woman which read "I'm sorry I accidentally gave you VD" and Quamire says, "oh, you only have accidental ones?"
Damn, I love that show. The scene is much funnier to watch.
ROFL BD! That's hilarious! I've never watched Family Guy, but people say it's funny!
SW--I have driven lately. I've had some health issues and I have found sleep more important than not driving. I hope to get back to bus riding soon, though. Over the last three weeks? I've ridden maybe 1-2 days a week.
Tightly wound?
Probably.
Have you had a whole community of people laugh when you've been called a butt plug recently? No?
It's a bit unsettling.
I know FT loves Family Guy too, so it made me think of her. I don't know if anyone else here watches it. God, it's freaking funny.
SW: no, no woman! My blood pressure is high enough! No salt! Seriously, is that like a welcome where you're from? You're funny!
BD: perhaps you did summon me... I did get an email from Corinne earlier tonight just checking in on me but I was honestly so busy I thought maybe tomorrow... and then something made me peek in a couple of hours ago and I have been on and off here ever since. Damn you.
I lost track of who was white trash. Is that like mangia-cake? Because my little guy is definitely mangia-cake. Dinner last night was perogies + salad and my little turd wouldn't touch it so I fed him a can of ::shudder:: Chef Boyardee. Keep it on hand because he refuses to eat a lot of stuff I make, like seafood or anything "ethnic" really.
FT,
I would eat your perogies.
Somehow I missed this whole "buttplug" thing. I know I've been absent a lot lately; I guess this happened then.
BD: Family Guy rocks. Earlier tonight my oldest (yeah I know, I let him watch sometimes) recites to me this scene:
Stewie: Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? Mama? Mama? Mama? Mama? Ma? Ma? Ma? Ma? Lois? Lois? Lois? Lois? Mum? Mum? Mum? Mum?
Lois: WHAT??!!
Stewie: Hi! (runs off)
Some Family Guy is funny and still clean. But the bad episodes are way better!
Anybody watching leno?
What's with the Duggar Look a Like family as back up singers?
I'm sorry that you've had health issues, R2. And I'm sorry that the butt plug comment was so hurtful. I hope that you'll decide over time to let this go and give this place another chance. I don't know why and I may be completely off base, but I have this strong feeling that you want to be "accepted" here. And I'm confident that you would be.
I'm still here, so shut up.
And yes, it was most certainly a general you in reference to apologies.
Yes, Ginger was the one I tried to out yesterday. :-)
Okay, now I need to ask y'all something and we can't do anything about it until we get Elisabeth's and Chris' okay but, frankly, they're struggling. I know we're doing the best we can but we just aren't able to meet their financial needs right now and they understand that. However, she's getting me a bunch of his personal into tomorrow and I'm going to set about trying to find him some means of help using more "alternative" sources, such as GLAAD. The gay community can pull together pretty well when a need is known. But I was just thinking, does anyone here Tweet regularly? If so, would anyone be willing to do whatever you have to do to Tweet his site with a short blurb to a lot of famous people, especially gay-friendly ones? I'm thinking Kathy Griffin, Perez Hilton, Neil Patrick Harris, hell...just anyone outside of Mel Gibson, really. :-D *Their followers would see it, no? And maybe click and help? Or am I not understanding how all of this works?
That's pretty much how it goes in our house, as well. A. loves it, and I'm just waiting for her to whip some off-color oneliner at her Catholic preschool. Sigh.
"Seriously, is that like a welcome where you're from? You're funny!" No, FT, it's not some strange Southern salt-rubbing ritual. Mulie was accosted by an Israeli in the mall today and he offered to rub salt rub all over her body. Mulie acted like she was offended, but you know she really wanted it. ;-)
I know nothing about Twitter. And I like it that way.
BD: haven't seen that one, that's *so Quagmire. Giggety! Also the "I Never" drinking game they play where Quagmire sadly, has pretty well done it all.
::passes CK perogies with sour cream on the side::
At this point SW, I think I'm mostly ambivalent about the acceptance thing. Does that make any sense?
It's nice to be accepted, of course. I don't expect it. I don't even anticipate it.
I'm not much of a tweeter either, AP. I have a "work-related" twitter account that I don't do anything with. For some reason I thought sending patent-law-related tweets would be interesting. It? Wasn't.
BD, I agree. I've had my account maybe a month and I've tweeted twice. It's not my thing. That's why I'm hoping someone else would be willing to spam some famous people on Twitter.
SW: shoot. I liked my theory better
I WISH some hot Israeli guy would rub me down with salt as a greeting.
LOL Sorry to disappoint, FT!
AP - I can understand your relief? Justice? How is Jake about it?
SW - Momma Sox ROCKS!
Mulie - Why oh why do people feel pg women are their own personal buddahs? Rubbing body salts on you? UGH! ((()))
PS - I am Daisying on iPhone - forgive my spelling typos @@
Momma Sox!!
Maybe I'll go to the mall tomorrow and pretend I'm pregnant (not fat) so some hot guy will rub me down.
Hey, why not? There's worse ways to pass an afternoon.
R2 said: "I think I'm mostly ambivalent about the acceptance thing. Does that make any sense?" It does, definitely. You probably think half the people here don't like you and the other half don't know you.
I tend to think, and again, I may be completely full of shit, but this is my armchair psych analysis, that what some perceive as your need to "have the last word" may stem from a desire you have to be accepted and understood.
But hell, I'm not even a good patent lawyer, so what do I know about psychology?
lol well I wish I had known you were trying to 'out me' yesteday AP I would have come out then.
I have a twitter account and have been known to @ a few of the stars on my list with some good causes as well as using the TE's I belong to to generate some donations...all I need is a short URL to use and it can be done. Is there a facebook page for him that you know of? I have many friends and all of them are used to me trying to get them to donate to a cause or a person in need that I am 'pushing' to help.
That while "have the last word" thing is BS. Bella started it, and it has grown a life of its own. It is entirely unfounded and untrue.
Someone say something. Quick.
Robin... I'd like to add my 2cents in here, since you and I have had a few recent discussions over there... and you asked *here* so I'd like to answer.
I don't dislike you at all. I agree with SW you have alot of common sense, you tell good stories, your family life is interesting and you have alot to add to discussions on alot of subjects! Thats all good and I like you when you are *that* person. But... there are times, when you just go on and on about something and wont let it go... the two recent conversations we've had on SIPS recently come to mind, but I've seen it before that. Another thing you do that drives me batty (you asked for it - I promise I'm not picking on you!!) Is that you will say something not nice... and then you get called out for it, and then you apologize. But I think you know that its *not nice* in the first place, and you say it to get your point across, and then you apologize and seem to feel as if the subject should be dropped... Yes, like getting the last word in, and then saying enough of this subject, lets move on... That annoys me when anyone does it - and you have done it to me on several occassions... I can move on as well as most, but when you just get one more *dig* in and then say ok... NOW lets move on, that bugs the crap out of me!
I truly would like to *move on* and stop with the back and forth and the competition and the us vs them... I think this site is good because you really can say whatever you want without fear of what you say possibly getting you banned, but it also seems like disagreements clear up quickly as well... and there are differing opinions, but thats what makes it interesting. Its not like the entire group has to pretend to like things *one way* for fear of being banned, know what I mean??
LOL R2!
OMG I just hit post, read up and see you saying Robin that the last word thing is untrue... LOL I guess you aren't going to like my opinion of that very well then... but honestly that is how I see it.
SW the dead sea salt salesperson was a woman... a very attractive woman with an accent and voice that made me spend $60 on some dead sea salt... and yes she did rub it all over the back of my hand and up my arm...
yea... Patti was with me... and she wanted to buy it too!! ha!
"For some reason I thought sending patent-law-related tweets would be interesting. It? Wasn't."
Obviously, you just never gave it a good chance.
AP your idea of getting the gay community involved in helping Chris is a great idea... I don't twitter either, but I know some here do... I hope! Thats a great idea! I will think too...
Thanks, Karen.
We have tossed barbs over the last few days. And I sincerely apologized to you--when you weren't even there (did you see it?)--so seriously, I think that summation you gave is just buying into what has been said about me by others.
The last word? In our last few exchanges, you've had them all.
I totally get that it's hard to see ourselves as other people do sometimes. I remember a boss of mine telling me, 15 years ago, that I was "like a bull in a china shop" because when I think I'm right, I'm pushy and annoying. She nailed it, but I didn't believe her at the time. And 15 years later I'm *still a bull in a china shop. But now I own it. Or won it. Whichever. :-)
Don't know much about Twitter. Kirstie Alley is another star that's big on it though. Caught her new show the other night and she was freaking b/c her family did a "twittervention" for a week and it was killing her.
AP said: "Obviously, you just never gave it a good chance." LOL!!
Robin you said We have tossed barbs over the last few days. And I sincerely apologized to you--when you weren't even there (did you see it?)--so seriously, I think that summation you gave is just buying into what has been said about me by others.
I did not see your apology over there, I will go and find it, not even sure exactly what you were apologizing for, but I will go look.
The summation I just gave is NOT buying into what has been said about you... that is my opinion, you asked for *our* feelings here about you and I gave mine. I feel its a constant back and forth and you try to come out on top and are not satisfied until it seems as if you are...
Then Robin said: The last word? In our last few exchanges, you've had them all.
No, thats not true... I gave up first both nights that we had our "discussions" and moved on, and then was told by you to "move on"
OK I 'tweeted' about Chris hopefully we can get some retweets going on him
All that being said between us Robin, I still feel that I have no problem welcoming you here and being involved in conversations with you, and I do understand your feelings of being accepted. You told me on SIP the other night that I don't comment much over there unless there is drama going on and then I jump in... I can say the same for you when you come to post over here, its dealing with drama. I think if you come and chat etc. as you do over there, you will find that you are accepted... At least by most... and the ones that don't want to accept you will at least be open and honest to your face here... and tell you how they feel. I think that this place is very "real" and thats what I like about it.
Karen--I have apologized to you, personally and by name, and sincerely.
I appreciate your honesty about your opinion of me. I am strong in my opinions. I stand by them, I defend them, and I don't apologize for them. And I don't have a problem with that.
But I also never insist or expect everyone to embrace them, either.
Damn, I hate to go, but I've got to get up in 6.5 hours and am going to be super grumpy then. Thanks for all the entertainment today, all!
Oh Karen, I will completely own if my posting here today is seen by some as "drama."
I honestly didn't intend to come and post here when originally I sent an email to AP. But she posted her apology to me for referring to me as a "butt plug," people responded to that, and I came and posted today. So, no, I wasn't trying to "create" drama. I feel like I was responding to it, and I took the opportunity to ask questions. Did it create some drama? Yes, I suppose it did, but I didn't come here and post just to make drama.
I've posted a number of times here today, and I have tried NOT to make it drama. I asked for opinions, people answered; people asked me questions, and I have answered them honestly.
If you want to chat about SIP, we'll chat at SIP. And that? Avoids drama, no?
I'm out too. I'll be a little scarce for the next bit, but I'll be around and will send in an updated Shortround picture soon!
Goodnight!
