Gotcha!

That's how *I* catch crabs, anyway. Could be my life just isn't as 'interesting' as it might be....

Hi there! I just saw your post in the 'not believing in God' thread, took me by surprise as your writing style felt oddly like mine. And then I come here and see that you not only type "'em" but have the audacity to woooohoooo and ramble in public places about string theory without maths.

*peers closely at the crab*

Are you sure you're not an alternate-universe version of me, but with non-imaginary children?

Welcome aboard. smiley - bubbly

Thanks for the smiley - bubbly!

Hmmm, could be you're an alternate version of me, I'd never really thought of the possibility before... What's your take on people going around with their pants at half-mast? Do you really loooove chocolate smiley - choc or do you appreciate it most when it's paired with other tastes smiley - cake? Do you sometimes get so involved in the books you read or the thoughts you're exploring that the real world is, ah, annoying at best? What is your opinion of the psychological state of Dubya? (If you have to decide between honest and nice before you answer, I'm asking for honest smiley - winkeye)

Actually, considering the multitudes of things I'd love to spend most of my time doing, having several of me around could be useful. Unless, of course, each of me had their own goody bag of interests and preferences, in which case I would get even less done than I do now. smiley - erm

I don't know about 'audacity;' I'm afraid it's probably rather a lack of couth. People do sometimes look at me rather oddly... But I'm pretty sure the kids are real smiley - ok

Shoot, didn't mean to include your message in mine!

It's taking me a while to get used to this kind of communication...

You shouldn't have fessed up to the mistake. I thought it was a very subtle form of humor, reflecting my own words back at me.

Pants at half mast: I finally realized that the guys who do that have a *reason* to always be grabbing their crotch, that maybe it wasn't just crabs smiley - monster they were scratching. They're holding on so they can keep the ir pants from falling all the way down. I've always wondered what would happen if they had to run really fast and their hands were both full of something else, though. I guess they'd either fall or leave 'em behind in their wake.

I looove chocolate when it's the very rich and creamy type from Europe, can live without the waxy, sugary Hersheys- and Nestle's-style imposters. I mostly avoid it, though as restraint and I aren't words to be found in the same sentence when chocolate is the sauce.

I get so involved in the things I'm focused on that I walk into walls if I'm not careful. Love books, rereading the good ones is like visiting with dear, old friends. I like the real world mostly, enjoy the smells and colors and light, but get irritated with dealing with people's egos and idiosyncracies sometimes. They should *know* that *my* ego is the only one that matters. smiley - winkeye

The psychological state of Dubya: hooooooo boy. Well, first, as I see it, you've gotta be a sentient being in order to *have* a psychological state. He's more like a natural disaster, embodied. And I'll stop right there, as I don't want to be mean about the poor thing.

*grumbles off muttering something about chimps with opposable thumbs*

Bedtime now, good night!

smiley - tongueout They fall down; there's NO way they're going to let go of those pants!

You're a lot more merciful than I am about Dubya; I think he's a full-blown sociopath with an Oedipal complex. And I used to have enormous respect for his mother - until that comment about not wanting to see flag-draped coffins because they'd be so dreary in her rosy little world. Disgusting.

I have to go deal with (shudder) customers now. Tuesday is the night the women's bible-study group congregates in the cafe smiley - erm and this will be their first week back after the holidays. But maybe the real-estate lawyer (she's always at least an hour late, leaving these poor people hanging around feeling verrrry uncomfortable, and then we always have to kick her out 10 minutes after close) and the Amway slime ('nuff said) won't show up smiley - biggrin

I hope your customers were all the good kind today. I had a few doozies when I first went in to work today, they sucked what little energy I had in me right out so I kinda hid and re-organized the post-inventory chaos much of the rest of the day. But it eneded well, they've *finally* finished resurfacing the pool and jacuzzi at my gym, so I made MoGgie soup for a couple hours, got all the residual pain out of my body, and met the neatest woman there too. I think she and I shall become friends, and that's pretty cool because I'm pretty selective about people I want to add into my life, so it's good when I run across someone I think is really special.

As I'm very fluffed right now I'll not go into a rant about Bush. I do wonder about him, though. If reincarnation is real, and there's a karmic energy that stays with a person, I wonder just what he did in past lives that brought him so much potential to exert influence on the world, and what circumstances he'll find himself in in his next life, given that he's making such a mess of this one for so many people. I do kinda think he might be trying to bring on the Rapture.

Must go pack my bags now, will be heading over to Naples for a couple days work tomorrow evening. I'm looking forward to it, the people there are sooooooo different from the people in Miami. I'm ready for a change of pace.

smiley - biggrin MoGgie soup... my 11-year old, who is the person of the only cat currently in my life, is an enthusiastic and rather brilliant cook; she generally gets the light bulb over her head at least once per meal prep. And every once in a while, maybe every 8 or 10 weeks, she'll snatch up the cat and declare it the Secret Ingredient of the Day smiley - laugh

(She made the mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving - best durned potatoes I've EVER had smiley - magic )

Enjoy Naples!



p.s. smiley - winkeye I just sort of assumed you know that moggie is a term for cat... alternate universe, and all that!

How lucky you are to have an inspired cook in your house! I have to visit friends for lovingly prepared meals, am not overly domesticated myself.

I do know that moggies are cats, one of the things I like about calling myself MoGgie is that one of my other aliases is Magnolia Thunderpussy and I like the continuity of the feline imagery.

Naples was good, very intense and exhausting but a great event. I shared a suite with a young woman who didn't *get* it that bringing a drunk guy back to our suite when the bars closed, and making loads of noise in the common living quarters and waking me up was not ok with me, and that I was *really* pissed when he wandered into my bedroom and asked if I was Magnolia. smiley - laugh She thought that since he'd apologized for coming in there it was incredibly inconsiderate of me to rip her a new orifice this morning. Lesson learned, in my case--the girl is a lovely vessel, and almost totally empty-headed, so I'll make sure I don't share quarters with her again. I'm of that certain age where I *need* my beauty sleep if I want to function at my best the next day, and picking up on drunks definitely is not my raison d'etre.
