Thanks (and this is NOT a slam against Mr. Simpson or George), but sometimes I wonder if I'm using the same words spoken to me from day one and why so, so few times they are understood. I JUST DON'T GET IT!! I mean, how many times does someone have to crack a dictionary to understand the words in my posts. And one would think after a while of reading and interacting, a person could do a little razzing from time to time without being called into the street while someone else yells "DRAW!". I understand 90% of the posts I read and if something strikes me as displeasing, I just ignore it (most of the time) and go on. Hell, I'm not here to jump people's shit with impunity, how many phuking times do I have to say it. Screw it, ya (whoever) don't understand it, I ain't gonna explain it no more (or no more today anyway). Sorry Christin, I'm just in a mood today. Talk to ya later. P.S. I'm getting impatient. To heck with an RE, send another. I'm afraid I'll read something soon and regret I ever thought the idea up.

Sorry if I bummed ya out with that last one. I was just thinking of "stuff", and before I knew it, I was pulling the trigger and shooting myself in the foot. And here I thought I was passed that stage. Guess I'll get bucked back down to water boy assuming of course I had ever progressed past that point. Talk at ya later this weekend. At least I managed not to post two days anyway. Is that worth anything?

<<(no, I don't really like daytime tv, but I was sorting and folding ten loads of laundry, a task I find too boring to do without something else going on)>> So you couldn't tell me how Carie and Austin's relationship is going, what scheme Sammy has just hatched to break them up, what kind of trouble Vivian is getting into, if Bo and Hope will ever get back together, etc., etc. Believe it or not, we watch Days Of Our Lives at work while ON THE CLOCK! We sort of work between 1 & 2pm. Sorting and folding was never one of my favorite tasks either, but probably more so because it dries my hands out. Lets face it, not much work involved when it comes to washing in 1997. Its the part after the clothes have been washed that becomes the chore. Christmas shopping? Well, I'm about done. What really great ideas posted by a variety of people, too. I think I went over my limit on a few people and then of course there is the 'oh, I forgot to get a gift for so and so' last minute presents. My grandmother fit that catagory. Svejk posted a link to Amazon for an idea he offered, so while I was there, I ordered a book on cassette for my grandmother. I'm kind of like some, though, when it comes to the holiday season; I just can't get into it. S.J. gets all excited every year. Gets out the decorations, spruces up the house, plays christmas music, the whole nine yards. Then she looks over at me and asks every single year, "Why don't you like Christmas?". Does one always need a reason to not like something? (rhetorical). Just doesn't do anything for me anymore, but I will admit, I do like the giving part. Come to think of it the paid time off is rather nice also. Last Thurs. night, I was upstairs in the living room wathching the tube with S.J. when she looks over at me and says,"You don't have to stay up here. Why aren't you downstairs like you always are?" I told her it was because I wanted to be upstairs. Later we talked about general stuff and you know what, it was actually kind of nice. The thing is, when S.J. starts talking, she is kind of like the energizer bunny. She is going to be laid off for a couple of months so I gave her my password and so forth. Maybe she'll get interested in this and have an outlet to EXPRESS herself. I've been somewhat leary about her doing this kind of thing because some of the people can be shall we say RUDE!! So she says,"Bring em on!" We're different in that respect. Of course maybe if she can bounce some of her anger and frustration off someone else for awhile, I will get the benefits for a change. Although, I guess I better brush up on my cooking skills <gg>.
