Welcome to TC Mayra.

[[deleted user]]

Jim is always so welcoming.

(I have no idea who is new or old, so I just pretend that I know everyone.)

Ouch, I'm missing a digit...

Finger? Or toe?

The "new" Jim is only at 275. Get crackin', Mister!

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I loved the Elenium!

[Jim]

Me too Jackie!

What is an Elenium?

In my experience, cat's don't respond well to punishment.

Cat's what?

Yeah, her "time out" didn't really work...she looked at me like I'd lost my mind, turned away, and flicked her tail in irritation as she stalked off in that haughty way cats have.

[[deleted user]]

Still working on it...it's getting better.

Cat's what?"

I can't believe I did that. In the presence of the apostrophe queen, no less.

[Sarah]

Isn't that a poem? In the Presence of The Apostrophe Queen?

[Kevin]

i still am going to say "punishing the kitty" every chance i get

[[deleted user]]

I wanna know what the kitty did to get punished in the first place?

That just sounds wrong Kev.

Kitty draped herself across the desk and was playing with the mouse cord.

[[deleted user]]

Get a cordless mouse. Problem solved.

Our baby kitty attacks the cursor on the screen all day while my husband attempts to work from home. *snicker* She thinks it's a bug.

[Sarah]

I have a corded mouse too, since the corded kind can plug into my keyboard, but the non-corded needs a USB, and I have limited ports.

[Félix]

Any port in a storm, I always say.






Well ... not always.

[Jim]

I can vouch for that, he actually walks down the street saying it :)

[Félix]

I say it early and often every damned day.

[Sarah]

Do y'all know the origin of the 'port in a storm' phrase?

[Félix]

Enlighten us, pleez ....

[Sarah]

A friend doing her master's in english literature came across this - this isn't the full quote, but you get the point.

It was going by the right door, and knocking desperately at the wrong one. ‥I told him of it: ‘Pooh,’ says he ‘my dear, any port in a storm.’
[1749 J. Cleland Memoirs of Woman of Pleasure II. 133]

[Félix]

Oh.

[Phil]

That's a sex thing, right? It's not just my dirty mind interpreting it that way?

[Félix]

I don't really like port. It tastes like kerosene to me.

[Phil]

I can't stop giggling because that seemed like the absolutely perfect usage of the word, "pooh."

[Sarah]

Pretty smutty for the 18th century, no?

[Félix]

Real smut is timeless.

[Félix]

Right now I'm sitting in the terminal in Tucson waiting for my flight home. Groups of F-16 fighters are taking off every few minutes, making quite a racket.

[Jim]

Airforce One flew over work yesterday. It's a pretty big plane.

I've always thought the 18th century was the smuttiest.

[ms.petra]

went to see Frank Warren and his PostSecret presentation. It was very moving.

[Heidi]

FML.

So I left for a roadtrip this afternoon after work (6ish) and made it about an hour and a half away before one of my tires started acting wonky. So I turned around and headed back home. I'll be starting over again in the morning, possibly with a new tire.

My baby sister's birthday (the big 3-0) needs celebrating, and I don't intend to miss an iota of the celebration festivities.

On the bright side, I'll get to go to sleep earlier than I thought I would. :)

[Kevin]

shoot heidi! i hate being all mentally prepared to go somewhere and then have a issue that changes my schedule. glad to see you are looking positively the best you can

[RandomAnthony]

shoot heidi!

Picks up watergun

Kevin said I should shoot Heidi...

[Kevin]

uhmm. i guess i meant dangit heidi

[[deleted user]]

Kev, "Shoot Heidi" as opposed to "Shoot, Heidi"...punctuation police.

[Sally, la reina]

Right now I'm starting to feel better after a 24 hour bout with the stomach flu. I think both Leah and Marla are now coming down with it.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Yuck, I'm sorry, Sally. That's no fun for any of you. I'm glad you're starting to feel better.
I send you virtual ginger ale....

[Félix]

Marla the snake eater?

[Suefly]

Right now I am riding in a car with someone who makes me sad. Booo-hoooo me, I know! Lol, just felt better to get it out.

[Sally, la reina]

I had chicken noodle soup for dinner and felt slightly better. This constant state of nausea is horrible.

[ms.petra]

maybe your pregnant...

[Jim]

Contemplating what? We have neighbors that we don't know real well, but will always talk to when we see them, and we knew their kids as they grew up. They have two kids that are both older than ours by a couple of years. We learned Saturday evening that their oldest died of a drug overdose either Friday or Saturday. One of the nicest kids to meet, had the brains to get into the UW, and apparently proceeded to get caught up with the wrong crowd almost immediately. I knew that he had been in rehab a couple years ago, but had heard good things since. Just contemplating what.

[Phil]

Sorry to hear about your neighbor's kid. I hope the family gets through it.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Oh, Jim, I'm sorry. :(

I'm at work, ordering books and noticing that it's lunch time. Time to toast my bagel...

[Félix]

Sad story, Jim.

I'm watching TV with a 2-year-old.

[Scout]

Jim, I feel sad hearing about your neighbors' loss.
