  • I also can see that conversation and I feel impotent because i can't speak out in it.   I'd like to knee that jerkwad in the balls and make him impotent

  • I want to implant some spider eggs in all of his body cavities and see if those feel like an imposition.

    I think I'm going to cancel the third interview I mentioned in my post from Saturday.

    I have a friend that "is giving up on love. It's too late" for her. She's 31. I want to smack some sense in to her. Even when not resorting to violence, I have no idea what to say to her.

    My husband's crazy cousins have decided to join the convent at 38 because they can't find men.

    I told them that sounded a leeetle nutty and suggested eharmony.

    This reminds me. I am pretty sure the job you have is the job I would like to have when I leave the hard-knock life of libraries behind. So, when you are done looking at all those resumes, maybe you could take a peek at mine and tell me if it's a transition I could easily make?

    I'm sure God really appreciates them committing their lives to him only because they couldn't land a boyfriend.

  • why has it taken me so long to read this thread? now my guts hurt from supressing cubicle guffaws.

    mouse, that's adorable! having an expressively impressed kid is very special. my heart melts with every single "fanks, mommy!"

    when she saw the snow in the bottom of her wagon yesterday, alison hollered "Ohh, it's beautiful!! it's PERFECT!!!" and wanted to climb in it. LOLOL.

    OH. derek was cleaning out closets yesterday and seems to believe there is a critter living in the crawlspace beneath the stairs. Indifferent but he did not have adequate light to confirm (he said he waved his cellphone around), and he said he didn't see it move, at all, in the span of at least 10-15 minutes, or make any noise despite him climbing in there. he just "saw eyes". he also didn't see any telltale signs of an animal living there, like poop or damaged insulation. I am somewhat dubious, but we will have the number for animal control at the ready just in case.

  • I think if you've made finding a mate a fulltime job, maybe focusing on other things for a little while isn't so bad. Not sure if your friends were doing this, but I've known a few people who would benefit from quitting for awhile. 

    Joining the covent is a little extreme though. I'll give you that.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman

  • I have a couple of freelance jobs I need to get done and no motivation to start working on them. I need to work on them now while I have a few free hours and not wait until 10:00 tonight when I'm tired.

    Blah. My life is hard, yo.

    so, wait...he stared at a critter for 15 minutes, then just walked away?  Why didn't he try to get rid of it?  What size critter are we talking here? Mouse? Racoon? Hezzerlah?

  • that's what i couldn't figure out!! and i offered to go find the coleman lantern and go check it out but he was like, no we'll do it later together. WTF! he said he thought raccoonish.

    i don't know how we would get rid of it without help from a professional. this space is inside the front hall closet, there is an access to it in the back wall. i also don't know how somehting that big could have gotten in there.

    Thanks! I'll un-library it up a bit this week and send it to you. Want to FB me your e-mail?

     

  • I'm working one day a week and finding going home after work and getting dinner on the table extremely stressful on that day.  i can't decide if it's because i just need to get into a routine or every evening will remain chaotic once i'm back to 5 days/week.

    My girlfriends and i are already planning a girls weekend away in June.   one of them hasn't even given birth yet, but has arranged childcare.   It will almost have been 2 years since we all went away together by then.

  • so there's just a raccoon hanging out in your house?  I don't think I could have stayed.  It would be an "It's me or the raccoon" situation...

  • Nothing has been confirmed yet!! it's just what he thought he saw.

    i honestly believe his eyes were playing tricks on him. or there is an invisible hole in our house. because there is no way in hell anything like that got in the same door he did.

  • I think there's a hobo living in your crawl space, Katie. Sorry.

  • It's going to be "confirmed" when it chews your face off in the middle of the night.

    This made me work laugh, which was silent except for one rogue half muffled snort that slipped out. The snort kind of sounded like a fart, and now I'm worried that my coworkers are judging me.

    Someone needs to write a Facebook manifesto about this.

     

    Speaking of FB, I put a photo on my wall only for this group's eyes. Can someone tell me if they see it? It's not something I'd like to share here.
