  1. :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:
  2. I got REALLY annoyed in the traffic the other afternoon. Someone was trying to turn left in one of those center lanes that allow both sides of the street to turn left. This person was half in the left lane and half in the center lane, blocking all of the left lane traffic. How could they not notice the big old rear-end of their pickup was in the way? This road has been under construction for over a year on top of everything so traffic barely flows as it is! Sigh!
  3. I have to say I love most of the Food Network personalities. Paula makes me miss my mom! She was very funny, too. The only thing that bugs me about Rachael is that she's too loud sometimes--I worry she's going to cough up her vocal cords because it sounds like she is forcing her voice.
  4. I didn't realize that posting on LBT could be equated with the establishment of a democratic system of government. I must have snoozed right through the debates between LBT candidates, the primaries, and the actual election of our LBT leaders (oh yeah...I'm referring to the leaders we don't have). I have been under the apparently mistaken notion that LBT simply provides a mechanism for all of us to express our personal experiences and opinions about being banded as well as on a variety of other unrelated issues. Free speech is a basic right guaranteed to all U.S. citizens by the U.S. Constitution last time I checked. :usa2: No one on this site "forces" anyone to do anything or to adopt particular values at any time. The entire concept behind having a site like this should be pretty easy to comprehend--it provides a place for the open sharing of a great range of ideas, beliefs, and perspectives. Everyone is welcome and no one is forced to agree with someone else. We are free to disagree with one another. The bottom line is: If you don't want to follow the advice given by someone who posts here, DON'T FOLLOW IT! If you don't want to read posts by "certain people," BLOCK THEIR POSTS and quit whining about them. No one is forced to read anyone's posts. All of us simply express our own opinion. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! :clap2:
  5. Have you had any harrowing experiences on the roads so far this holiday season? Has anyone practically run you over to steal the parking space you were about to pull into? Feel free to vent away...:confused:
  6. I'm crushed! I've looked on-line for hours and I can't seem to find the website to order my very own... CHOCOLATE-COVERED MARINE!!!!!! :hurt
  7. Hee, hee!! It would have been handy to have a glowing cat back in 2001 when Hurricane Isabel knocked out our power for a week! The only problem is that cats are so darn independent, you probably couldn't get it to walk where you actually needed light! As far as "genetic experiments" are concerned...South Koreans messing with cats? I don't know about that!
  8. Personally, I like having free will...because it's all about me! LOL! DRY chicken MAKES ME GAG! Just thought I'd inject my own "randomness" into your rather random "from out-of-nowhere" thread. :guess Seriously, try not to hurt your brain cells by thinking so hard--the effects of being so "deep" could be irreversible I fear! :biggrin1:
  9. Why on earth does anyone need a glowing cat? That would totally creep me out at night. Can you imagine laying in bed and having your glowing cat jump up to sleep on the bed? The critter they created looks like it's radioactive or something. Aren't there better things those scientists could be doing...like curing cancer or something??? Geez!
  10. I think that's a wonderful policy, especially when purchasing a delicious, chocolate-covered Marine! :faint: Seriously, some things I feel comfortable buying on-line, but other things I would want to get in person. Books and DVDs for example. I don't feel a pressing need to fight the crowds if I'm looking for specific titles. I'd much rather get them shipped right to my door! :clap2:
  11. What a bummer! I'm so sorry that happened to you! I hope you are able to get all of it back! Some loser in my neighborhood stole a $5 plastic bird bath from my yard last summer--talk about a low blow! Who really needed a cheap, plastic bird bath badly enough to steal it?
  12. :bounce:Can I join, too? I've never been in a posse before! Is the only qualification that we have female reproductive parts? I hope so because I can't afford to pay a "Pussy Posse Membership Fee" right now along with all of my holiday bills! :laugh
  13. Hi Denise! I think that SueSue was saying that teachers are really good at reading weird looking writing like the examples we included above because they teach school. Since the kids are just learning, their writing can be difficult to understand until you get used to deciphering it. She meant that if teachers didn't get proficient at figuring out what the kids were trying to say, they'd fail. A teacher who couldn't make heads or tails out of it would fail the kid. But...what do I know...I'm one of the "mere mortal" educators! LOL! :clap2:
  14. Pull up a chair and let the train wreck begin!
  15. Or...you could donate your gift card to me! LOL!! Just kidding! I'm feeling pretty desperate for clothes myself, but I guess I have to wait until all the sparkly, rhinestoned, sequined, glittery clothes is replaced by "normal" ladies' suits! I can see why you'd be bummed out about the gift card at first. On the positive side, at least she's willing to help you buy clothes--that's pretty cool!
  16. I agree! Focus on getting in lean Proteins and green veggies (non-starchy ones) first, then have some carbs if you have room left. That has really helped me so far! Make sure to drink enough low-calorie liquids during the day, too. That'll help flush the old fat out! Let us know if there's anything else we can do to help!
  17. Hi there! Good luck with your new doctor! Hopefully, they can do a two-for-one surgery to make things easier for you. Cross your fingers! How did you find out you have a hernia? Just curious. I wonder if I'll find out something like that if I ever go in for plastic surgery...
  18. Congratulations! Some doctors require a pre-op diet and others don't. I hope your recovery goes smoothly!!!
  19. We are? Gee I wish someone had clued me in when I first got my certification...seems the teachers where I am are viewed as much closer to the bottom of the barrel. Most of us view ourselves as mere mortals in any case...
  20. As Steve Martin would say, "Well EEEEXXXXCCCCUUUSSEEE me!" Geez! What crawled up your butt and died? Just to be really crystal clear in my communication so no one can be mistaken about whether or not I'm communicating in a direct enough manner, I am actually talking to TommyO. Speaking of biases, I think you've got a whole truckload of your own to keep you occupied so you can leave mine out of it. I hope that someday I, too, will be an absolute model of communication perfection just like TommyO is...NOT! LOL! :flypig: Sounds to me like you need a tall glass of warm milk, a blankie, and a very long nappie-poo. Take a chill pill and remember not to call me in the morning... :bored
  21. I've unfortunately seen the consequences of this sort of action. Not pleasant at all! None of us want THAT to happen--too much drama! I thought you just finished saying you hated name calling, TommyO? I'm SO confused!
  22. OMG! That is TOO funny! :pound:
  23. It's the cars that drive around plastered with Confederate flags that worry me...
