Right now I'm ... Janine awesomeness Showing 1,801-1,850 of 6,546

[RandomAnthony]

I froze up and had to scoot down the stairs on my butt... the WHOLE way.

I would mock you but I have done the same thing myself, just not on an oil rig.

[Heidi]

The people were backing up behind me, and my parents were getting embarrassed. I tried to move my feet, but they were STUCK... FROZEN in place.

I told them they were stupid for bringing me there KNOWING my dad had to carry me across the rickety bridge and the rope supported platforms at Swiss Family Robinson TreeHouse when we went to DisneyWorld.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

A lot of people hate stairs you can see through, or that have open space instead of risers, Heidi.

[Kevin]

man, i have climbed up a staircase to no where in china (it used to lead to a very high tank but now just went straight up maybe 100' and just hung over nothing - rusty and rickety) and just climbed to the the top of a water tower in india that was basically a home made stair/ladder deal that was WAY to narrow for my american ***. i just never consider that it might be dangerous

[Richard]

Right now I'm still wondering what happened to Kevin's "overall ridiculousness" thread...

[Kevin]

yeah, that was supposed to be fun and got weird quick

[Kevin]

i do like seeing that word spelled though [ridiculousness:]

[Heidi]

It was the HIGH-FIVE thread, Richard!!! Remember I high-fived you there? :)

[Richard]

It got off to an excellent start. But I think someone took offense to my "ridiculous overall" pic - which I selected with great care.

[Richard]

You did high-five me, Heidi, you did. My palm is still stinging.

[Kevin]

not really offense, just not something i wanted to be associated with. gave me the heebies. (might as well say kevin richard...LOL)

[Richard]

Right now I'm wondering whether Kevin zapped his own excellent thread. Well, did you Kevin, zap your own thread?

Sally has some great overall pictures on another website - four gals lined up at camp. :) I have a feeling they planned it ahead of time. If it was mere coincedence, that'd be REALLY cool!

I would be one of those "a lot of people," Jackie. It's not so much that I dislike them. I just can't move.

Getting back to a fear of heights ....

[[deleted user]]

They have a video out of someone walking this, but it is currently pulled. I got nervous sitting at my desk watching it.




Here is part of it.

[Heidi]

A distinction - mine's not a fear of heights - I can , just a ridiculous amount of disorientation when I can see massive drop below my feet... probably more akin to vertigo.

[Sarah]

Mine's not a fear of heights - it's a fear of landing.

[RandomAnthony]

Hm. A thread disappeared? Weird. Kevin?

Another problem with cathedrals is looking up at them. Sometimes looking up at heights is just as bad as looking down from them, at least for me.

[Kevin]

yup, i did richard. i could see it wasn't going to be near as funny or interesting as i thought and just killed it before it became another dead thread

[Félix]

The floor is already littered with dead threads. Many of them started by yours truly.

[Kevin]

hey, no sense beating a dead horse LOL

[Sally, la reina]

I think starting threads is like sowing seeds. You have to toss out many to get one or two to grow every day. I try not to mourn the ones that don't make it. They have as good a chance as any.

[Félix]

They have a better chance if you toss them on the manure pile. Poop makes everything grow better.

[[deleted user]]

Wow, Sally is a gardener at heart (♥).

[Richard]

Because of a coy man in a ridiculous overall, Kevin? I'll let it rest. Nuff said.

Your zombie threads are indeed notorious, Larry.

[image error]

[Sally, la reina]

Feeling feisty, Dutch man?

[Félix]

Poop makes everything grow better.

[Richard]

I try to keep Feisty on a short leash, Sally. But she does like to run now and then.

[Sally, la reina]

Larry, focus. We've moved on.

[Félix]

Poop.

[Kevin]

right now i am waiting for a phone call with an EIN number so i can get my shipment to South Africa ready for pick-up on monday morning. c'mon phone....

[Félix]

Is that like a PIN number? Or an ATM machine?

[Richard]

What's in the box, Kevin? Good tidings?

[Félix]

Feisty says to keep your hands off her, if you please, Richard.

[Kevin]

it is a tax ID number. doing all the customs forms and declaration stuff. shipping a crate with a 300# electronic programmable drive in it to a place called Dowerglen

[[deleted user]]

Employer Identification Number, kind of like a Social Security number for a business.

[Kevin]

suppose it is good tidings. they needed it and i made a bundle from selling it. that is good in my book

[Félix]

Oh.

Bah Humbug!

[Richard]

My mom lives near Dowerglen. How weird.

[Kevin]

ding ding ding! jim was correct

sitting at my desk at 5:28 waiting for the call so i can insert numbers, get on my motorbike and zoom off

[Kevin]

ok, call came. i am outt-ee

later you all. been fun. no harm no foul richard, you are always clever and fun. btw - sent the crate to a big company called AGE Technologies in Dowerglen. never heard of it before. heard of them?

[Richard]

Never heard of them. But my brother probably has.

Don't drive that hog too hard on the way home.

[Matthieu]

...Just getting back to my room. I spent the last hour + throwing off the synthetic mound in the gym. My arm feels absolutely wonderful. No pain.

I still have to finish packing...

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I'm at home at last, eating tortilla chips and salsa.
I'm spoiling my dinner, but I don't care!

[Dave]

Don't you dare go swimming right now. Or run with scissors.

[Cosmic Sher]

(Do it Jackie, do it!)

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Swimming would get the tortilla chips soggy. And I hate running, with or without scissors.
I may play with my food a bit. Sorry, it's the best I can do right now...

[Cosmic Sher]

Well, I think playing with food qualifies. But, mostly, just eating those forbidden foods before dinner def makes you the Rebel of the Day, Jacks. :)
