I hate it when people post just to post.....

....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

  • I'm having a very hard time understanding why three out of four guinea pigs have the first letter of their name capitalized, but the fourth one (cuddles), has the first letter of its name in lower cas

  • well, i respectfully disagree. I don't think its acceptable to do it. I strongly dont think that its ok to do it, and i do not think that someone who's doctor didnt tell them about PB's who comes here

KC,

I read the parts about the patients being tranquilized. I wanna know how you got rid of the family members. Where'd ya hide the bodies?:wink2:

There seems to be trouble a-brewing on the boards. Check out the Mexican stand-off between HH and a charming gal who recently changed her name. It's quite humorous.:nanahump:

Take care,

TPG

Well the mom went not so quietly shouting some nonsense about 'you better watch your back'

and the son and 'friend --uuhmmm fellow hoodlum' attempted to intimidate me by pulling up shirts slightly so as not make sure I noticed what they had hidden and proceeded to ask if I was still sure that they couldn't stay.

Here's my response:

"Our visiting hours have ended for the night and this does apply to everyone including the 3 of you - you are welcome to come back when we re-open at 0800. You may choose to leave now or I will be happy to have security assist you. Please make sure to leave your weapons at home when you return tomorrow because I would hate for you to shoot yourself when you sit down - but if you show up here again with them - the police will come escort you to their house and you will not be allowed back in the hospital ever. You all have a good night now."

Needless to say there were a few explitives shouted in return as they reluctantly went down the hall.

You GO, girl!! They sound charming and delightful :nanahump: and I'm sure you'll welcome them back tomorrow with open arms. But not "arms" stuffed in their waistbands :wink2:. Geez, I'd be afraid to go to work if I were you. You're tuff stuff!!

Be careful and take care. I'm off to bed so you'll have to search out some other playmates. Or, another idiot like me with no life who just can't resist checking this board. I sooo miss the chicken thread. But maybe tomorrow....

TTFN,

TPG

I do sometimes need to bite my tongue - but most coworkers say I have perfected the art of basically telling someone to shape up or no you are not going to get away with that while maintaining a sing-song quality to my voice and a smile on my face.

I usually don't worry about the young hoodlums who try to show me they're tough - it's the one's who basically act like I don't exist and could care less if I know they are packing that I am leery of - and when multiples of them enter the room - I stay out because usually they're planing retaliation and I don't want to be responsible for hearing any of it.

I am careful though - I'll walk out with someone this am.

D, imaginary friends don't count.

You count yours!

And I'll take however many 'friends' (imaginary or real) that I want out to my car with me this morning - thank you very much!

My goodness! You guys were busy last night! I have laughed at so much this morning. Not only did you hit 1000+ pages, you hit 15000+ posts (yay Beth!)! You all rock!:nanahump:

KC-you be careful leaving this morning. See if you can get security to go out with you (or the imaginary friends:biggrin:).

Kat-congrats on the new grandbaby! I figure the baby will be here by the time you get to read this!:Banane56:

I may have to start recording True Blood. I like sex..er, I mean drama.:wink2:

Plain-we miss you when you are gone.

I know that I missed some posts. There were just entirely too many to catch up on. I am off to get coffee started(my addiction to LBT is stronger than my addiction to coffee).

Plain-we miss you when you are gone.

Thanks, Slim. For those sweet words, you'll be the last on my list if I ever flip out and go on a multi-state shooting spree!! Calm down, I'm just kidding.....nobody gets off the list.

:nanahump::lol::Banane56:note to self, hide from plain.:wink2: We love you plain!

Ditto!

I'd be careful, leaving, arriving, being at home....WOW! I don't suppose the hospital hires a police officer to stay in the area? It just sounds sooo dangerous/tense.

Nope - that will never happen. Coffee first.

And yes - WAY too many posts to catch up on; but it sounds like you were all having fun...but without me! :biggrin::cryin:

Yet another slow movin day - DH brought me coffee in bed at 430 :blink::wub:, and I've been doing nothin' since then. BAH!

Beth - hope everything for your dad is good.

For our 2010 PJTP event, Plain can be our mascot, as we decorate him in assorted little 'outfits' - the mini skirt, wig and madonna cone bra I would just HAVE to see! WAIT - nope, we won't decorate him - we give him the clothes and he dresses HIMSELF.

Glad it is Friday - makes the rain less insanity-provoking!

Firefly:

1 part Firefly (sweet tea flavored vodka)

Smidge of water - to taste

little bit of lemon juice.

It will sneak up on ya if you're not careful....I'll make Firelies for all for the "meet -n-greet" (or the....wait for it..."meat -n- greet"). Except everybody else's might have the faint aftertaste of roofies.

Hmmm...must check out liquor store - have no recollection of ever seeing sweet tea flavored vodka. Is it possibly a regional item?

Maybe we can start one that asks if you can get pregnant from having chicken three days out from surgery while listening to Michael Jackson.

Oooh...I like it!

Modify it slightly: Will God let me (a sinner, but I know that I am) become pregnant etc...

Ooooh!!!! I like it better!!!

Talk about disappointed!!! :biggrin: I thought I found us a new chicken thread. It was "Got a Pickle Stuck"... False alarm. Darn.

I got nothing,

TPG

It wasn't a euphamism? Darn.

My goodness! You guys were busy last night! I have laughed at so much this morning. Not only did you hit 1000+ pages, you hit 15000+ posts (yay Beth!)! You all rock!:nanahump:

Ditto! I go to bed and everyone stays up and has fun.

KC-you be careful leaving this morning. See if you can get security to go out with you (or the imaginary friends:biggrin:).

Ditto...though, I'm a ghetto-rat, so I'm with you that the loud ones aren't really that much of a threat. The quiet ones that sit in the corner and watch? Bad apples.

Kat-congrats on the new grandbaby! I figure the baby will be here by the time you get to read this!:Banane56:

Ditto!

I may have to start recording True Blood. I like sex..er, I mean drama.:wink2:

lol...yeah, sometimes I can handle it, but when a show is just going along like normal and then BAM sex for the sake of sex, it gets old. But I've heard so much about the show, I want to watch it to see what it's about (other than sex.).

Plain-we miss you when you are gone.

Ditto.

Bite your tongue! I got my coffee first! LOL

Is it really Friday??? I've been off all week on the days. I'm wearing jeans (casual Fridays) so it must be Friday! Thank goodness!!!

I think vodka is a stretch - sure it's regional - if we're talking backwoods moonshine with some lipton bags put in it.

***what ya get Plain for threatening my life with your 'list' - at least you got my nickname right***
