Say Anything.
'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.
Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort
This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.
So, say anything.
I just found a tenspot folded up in a receipt in my desk drawer! Woot!
Gotta love finding money you forgot you had :) I found $13 in the washer woowoo.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Just 1 more month to go and I'll have another bill's balance paid off!!! The paying for getting out of debt sucks but is SO rewarding. Got a few left to go now, but one step closer! *weary sigh*
You and your kin have served me well. I wish I'd had the foresight to buy four of you when I saw you for sale in Best Buy for twenty bucks, and I'm sorry I brought five of your kin to the trash can.
eBay might be my only hope, but not as expensive as that one idiot. (65 bucks for reconditioned? no thanks)
You were the most comfortable pointing device I've ever used. Thank you for saving my poor wrist, at my height of EQ Bard-dom.
I don't care if you have 40+ years sewing experience more than I do. Thanks for your suggestion, I'll take it into consideration, but don't tell me to change what I'm doing.
Let me fuck it up.
You've not created a costume with unique objects hanging from it like this. So what if they look weird, they're supposed to. It's a costume, not a business suit.
Let me fuck it up.
When I ask you if "x" will work when attempting "y" don't give me "a" and "g". I just wanted x to confirm my thoughts.
Make it a suggestion, and not a command. "If you try it this way" sounds so much better than "no you're doing it wrong, give it here".
Let me fuck it up. If I do, I've learned something, and having you stand over my shoulder is only making me wish I hadn't told you dick about what I'm doing.
So step off, and let me fuck it up.
"DO IT YOUR FUCKING SELF"
Mike spent his holiday on Monday building a fence that separates the patio from the backyard. This is in preparation for winter here in Alaska where we'll get at least 4 feet of snow in our backyard and ultimately poopcicles in the spring. You see, Shadow poops and pees in the back yard and as it snows during the winter, it disappears only to reappear as...a poopcicle.
So to my astonishment, Mike borrowed Jello's husband's circular saw (I now refer to him as Nancy Kerrigan, another story I'll get to at a later date) and I thought for sure it would sit in the garage all winter. He built the fence. It is a very beautiful fence, I'm very proud of him. Anyway, today we put Shadow outside but much to our dismay...there was no poop.
Shadow can practically poop on command. If she goes outside, she's pooping. 6 or 7 times in one day...POOP. So when I get home today, I peek outside at the patio. Nothing. Not even a pee wet spot. Mike and Catherine get home.
'Did she poop?'
'Nope.'
'Really?'
'Really, really.'
Mike looks at Shadow. 'Shadow. Go poop.'
'I tried that.'
'And?'
'She didn't poop.'
So we asked her a couple times, 'Potty?!' and she happily pranced to the door but upon opening the door to the backyard, Shadow saw the fence and became confused.
Hour 12. Still no poop.
