that was a typical statement.

2008-12-07T14:48:09.000Z

where her biscuits and gravy are?!

2008-12-07T15:14:48.000Z

in my tummy - and they were yummy!

2008-12-07T19:53:39.000Z

you had biscuits and gravy and didn't share? Shame!

2008-12-08T01:15:01.000Z

I shared, but 'all showed up too late!

2008-12-08T02:57:57.000Z

I missed it.

That's alright because I made my own for dinner tonight.

2008-12-08T03:01:57.000Z

w00t! Good on ya!

2008-12-08T03:09:05.000Z

that it's funny you sadid "Good on ya." One of my friends in MT used to say that sometimes.

2008-12-08T03:14:20.000Z

it's an Aussie thing, I believe. I picked it up from a couple of Aussies, anyway.

2008-12-08T03:23:47.000Z

that'd explain that one then. His aunt is from Austrailia.

2008-12-08T03:38:06.000Z

there ya go!

2008-12-08T03:39:32.000Z

happy that that was solved.

another conundrum put to rest!

whoops! That was supposed to be "likes that."

2008-12-08T04:15:05.000Z

questions lead us to where we end up.

2008-12-08T04:15:14.000Z

or something like that

dragon_harrower has

2008-12-08T04:15:56.000Z

noticed that trend. It keeps things interesting.

2008-12-08T04:22:48.000Z

exactly. And interesting is way better than boring.

2008-12-08T04:25:41.000Z

most definitely. Boring is well...boring.

2008-12-08T04:30:16.000Z

and not terribly exciting.

2008-12-08T04:31:35.000Z

it'd be without adventure too.

2008-12-08T04:34:25.000Z

mundane in the extreme

2008-12-08T04:38:44.000Z

would rather have some spice in her life.

2008-12-08T04:48:34.000Z

KY, not wd-40.

2008-12-08T16:24:38.000Z

that's definitely the way to go.

2008-12-08T16:32:59.000Z

for extra spice, go greaseless and water soluble.

2008-12-08T16:38:06.000Z

vaseline is out then.

2008-12-08T16:50:49.000Z

vaseline is another petrochemical derivative. On the plus side, if you put a glob on, it is usually still there an hour later.

dragon_harrower has

2008-12-08T16:59:47.000Z

found that out.

2008-12-08T17:16:39.000Z

hahaha. When i was a kid, my mom would slap it on my frostbite, and that would be that.

2008-12-08T17:36:46.000Z

since you still have all your parts attached, it must have helped.

2008-12-08T17:47:01.000Z

mostly my cheeks and nose. I liked being out in the cold.

2008-12-08T18:08:05.000Z

terribly grateful. I'm a Scrooge when it comes to Christmas songs.

2008-12-08T19:13:40.000Z

I am too usually, but i have a ginourmous collection of rock and alt x-mas tunage that I might break out this year.

2008-12-08T19:24:55.000Z

that is easier to handle than some of the Christmas music.

2008-12-08T19:36:54.000Z

I haven't even looked this year to see if there's anything new out there for me to nab onto. I love free music!

2008-12-08T19:40:59.000Z

check out amazon.com. They have a 25 days of christmas sale that has a free song every day.

2008-12-08T19:52:23.000Z

w00t! I wonder how many of them I already have?

2008-12-08T19:52:28.000Z

Last year, I dumped a couple hundred holiday songs on the file server at work, and my coworkers partied all month

2008-12-08T19:57:35.000Z

it doesn't hurt to look anyway.

2008-12-09T02:17:52.000Z

I'm on it tonight. Maybe there will be a gem amongst the dreck.

2008-12-09T02:32:54.000Z

the "Elf's Lament" from Barenaked Ladies was worth it, but I like the band, so that explains it.

2008-12-09T02:38:25.000Z

"I Want an Alien for Christmas" by Fountains of Wayne is a favorite of mine.

2008-12-09T02:42:32.000Z

she needs to listen to that. Was that one of the ones on Amazon?

2008-12-09T03:04:03.000Z

no clue. I'll send it to you, if I can't find it for you.

2008-12-09T03:05:52.000Z

looked and it wasn't one of the free ones on there. I'm sure it'd be on amazon somewhere though. I'll check it out.

listened to a lot of harsh music - hard, fast and hard and fast, but never could manage to get into Metallica.

2008-12-09T17:03:28.000Z

it's probably because all the kip kids were into them.

who the "kip kids" are.

2008-12-09T17:35:24.000Z

look for kids doing kip thrusts, and you'll know immediately.

maybe it's amusing only because i know and love them both.

2008-12-10T18:55:04.000Z

you're probably right.

2008-12-10T18:58:20.000Z

the really lucky thing is that they still love each other.

2008-12-10T19:09:50.000Z

that's always good. It's not fun when they don't love each other.

2008-12-10T19:13:59.000Z

it would be just plain silly to remain married if you don't love the other person - especilly if the kids were gone.

2008-12-10T19:23:04.000Z

it is. It never turns out well.

which "he" you're referring to.

2008-12-12T03:11:39.000Z

he shoots, he scores! "He" meant "me" in the first context.

happy you scored then.

2008-12-12T12:27:20.000Z

shocked and frightened are a tad bit different.
