[progmom]

x(

[Jara sang]

1. What is that supposed to do?

[JimmyJazz]

2. What are you people doing?

I don't like this! :(

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Me either! Pot of coffee and still nothing make sense!

:hi: :hug: How are you?

[JimmyJazz]

5. Hi, Sweetie!

I am doing very well! Thanks for asking. How are you?

Let's just hijack this thread :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Okay! Lilacs are blooming, but it's cold as Laura Bush on Inauguration

Night. Kids are off to school...I should be working, but, what the heck?

You know what would be excellent? If you could come to FUNday!!! :hi:

[JimmyJazz]

11. OMG - Lilacs are my favorite flowers!

I love the scent! The real scent, not any sort of imitation stuff.

BTW - What is FUNday?

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. This is FUNDay:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=159&topic_id=1711&mesg_id=1711

I hope it gets to be HUGH!!!1

;)

I know what you mean about lilacs. We've got two really big bushes in front. One is really blooming and the other only has one bloom this Spring, which is odd.

The only thing that I have found that comes close to the real smell is Yankee Candle's Lilac Blossoms Housewarmer Candle. :hi:

[JimmyJazz]

21. I was told with my daughter's asthma that I shouldn't burn candles

:(

It could be a source of irritation for her. :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

37. I did not know that. My son has respiratory issues and I would hate

to think I am making them worse with my candle obsession. Thanks for the heads up! :hug:

[progmom]

40. stinky candles set off my asthma

:(

[progmom]

4. nothing to see here, please move along

:(

[Misunderestimator]

7. If you can't take the heat...

and so forth... :P :hi:

Why on earth would you post such a confusing thread? :bounce:

[progmom]

14. i can't take the heat

where should i go?

[Misunderestimator]

33. Somewhere cold...

try the GD Election forum.

[progmom]

but would they appreciate my humor there?

:shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

54. Good point.

:D

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. JJ and I have decided to just hijack it and turn it into something else...

:hi:

[Jara sang]

10. But what?

:scared:

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. I don't know...

Got any suggestions...:shrug:

[progmom]

18. i'm going to just keep changing the subject

for the next hour
;)

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. And I will just keep hijacking...until my boss calls...

wondering where the hell that appraisal is. :)

[progmom]

28. like my new subject?

[ScreamingMeemie]

51. It's the best one yet.

:hi: This is a great padding thread!

[Zuni]

66. hmmm...I like not having to worry about staying on topic

[Jara sang]

24. Change it back to the blank

can you do that?

[progmom]

27. nope - for some reason it doesn't work once you edit it

:shrug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Now see...that is an excellent choice for a subject line.

Did you know Penney's is having their big three day sale this weekend. :shrug:

[progmom]

32. no kidding?

i need bras.
the ones i bought at kohl's in april are total crap. i hate them.

[Zuni]

36. that is terrible!!!

my condolences :cry:

[progmom]

38. thank you Zuni

You're such an empathetic soul.

:P

[ScreamingMeemie]

39. There's your reinforcement right there!

:P

Penney's has a really nice selection. :hi:

[progmom]

45. i always buy bras during their big sales

yay!
:bounce:
reinforcements indeed!

wanna do lunch again sometime soon?

[Zuni]

48. you two should go bra shopping together

just an idea :shrug:

[progmom]

50. tag team bra shopping?

interesting idea.

[ScreamingMeemie]

49. You bet!

Name the day...I'll be there! :hi:

[MrSandman]

52. What is it being turned from?

:donut:

[Jara sang]

61. From this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3265504

[MrSandman]

64. The shame...

Now I gotta run

[Kathy in Cambridge]

9. What did you do now?

:spank:

[JimmyJazz]

13. She made an OOPSIE!

she's like that, you know.

[Jara sang]

15. No she didn't

She was experimenting.

[DS1]

12. progmom broke the internets

dammit

[progmom]

16. it's my fault

fallout from the cult that sprang up around my personality and all that.

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Hey there!

Assbuddy! How's it going? :P

[Zuni]

22. you have assbuddies now?

Oh, Mrs. G....

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. Apparently so...

I did not know that until it was brought to my attention by somebody. :hi:

Hi Zuni!!! How are you? :hi:

[Zuni]

30. Hey MrsG

:hi: I am doing great. Hoping to make it to 5 o clock. I can already tell it is going to be a long day....by long, I mean incredibly boring. Oh well, right now I am getting paid for posting on DU :woohoo:

[ScreamingMeemie]

67. I won't tell a soul...I'll leave it to the Freepers to track down your

place of employ...:P

[Zuni]

70. those bastards!

good thing I don't work in a Trailer Park or at a Gun Shop, because I'd be toast.

[DS1]

26. Not too bad, fellow ass world denizen!

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. My dog has fallen asleep with her head hanging upside down off the

couch! :hi:

[progmom]

35. what kind of dog do you have?

picture?

[ScreamingMeemie]

43. She is a sheltie...

[progmom]

150. what a cutie!!!!

i love the wary look she's giving the camera!

[ScreamingMeemie]

160. She gets pissed off when Mommy has the camera and won't let her

just hang out...no, the picture has to be just so. ;)

[Zuni]

42. my cat was up all night running around

and when i left for work this morning she was lying on a chair, feet stuck in the air like a dog playing dead and snoring :shrug:

cats :eyes:

[ScreamingMeemie]

47. I love it when cats do that kind of stuff. Merlin will get right up in our

faces when we are trying to sleep and "talk" to us...all night. Then, come morning, we're bleary eyed and he is dead asleep in the middle of the bed. It makes me want to jump on the bed and talk to him. :hi:

[Zuni]

55. my cat tries to groom me while I am sleeping

I will wake up and she will be licking my hair :eyes:

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

62. Because she wuvs you soooo much and always wants you looking

your catspit best! Even when you are sleeping! My aunt's cockatiel used to be an incessant hair groomer and would get very upset whenever you tried to dissuade her. :hi:

[Jara sang]

34. Daughter of Dupe

It's a wonderful thing...:cry:

[tjwmason]

41. Here comes the reinforcements

Where are we to attack?

The vicious foe wiLL not triumph whiLe there's stiLL a breath Left in our bodies - or at Least untiL I get bored and do some work.

[Zuni]

44. I am at work right now

but hell if I am actually gonna do something.

[tjwmason]

56. I might get around 15 minutes done this afternoon

I tend to switch between D.U. and the piLes of paper Littering my desk.

[ScreamingMeemie]

63. Hey!!! We could be twins! That's what I do!!

:hi:

[Jara sang]

46. There is a sign in table over there!

You can pass out the name tags. Be quick about it!

[progmom]

53. i'm going to a meeting

i expect this thread to be thriving when i get back


MrsGrumpy and Zuni? You're in charge.

[Zuni]

57. yes!

Finally, my very own thread to hijack!

[ScreamingMeemie]

58. It is "Daughter of Dupe Thread" and we will do our best...

until my boss calls that is. ;)

Enjoy your meeting! Meetings are fun! :hi:

[Zuni]

60. my boss is in court all morning

and the other boss, the one I don't do much work for is playing golf all day! :bounce:

and there is very little for me to do right now except answer the phone, and it is not even ringing that much. :boring:

So I will be here all morning to keep this thread going.

[tjwmason]

71. My boss does even Less work that I

and so wouLd find it rather difficuLt to stop me from joLLying in the internets. :bounce:

I'm here to offer any support I can untiL just after 5 U.K. time.

[Zuni]

79. is it 3 in the UK?

It is only 10 am here (I am in Annapolis Maryland, about 30 miles NE of Washington DC)

My boss is actually one of the hardest working people I have ever met. if he was a shit shoveler for a living, he would shovel shit for 8 hours a day and never complain. That is just the way he is. he is a very nice guy. He is a good laywer, always gives bonuses and got all of us employees a very good medical benefit plan. I like him a lot, although he tends to boss me around like I am an employee or something :shrug:

[Jara sang]

82. I hope he washes his hands

before he sits down to the dinner table

[Zuni]

85. damn shit shovelers

[tjwmason]

98. GoLLY so it is - nearLy haLf past in fact

I reaLLy have been sLacking oof since Lunch time.

I'm in the middLe of a cLassic case of "x-inefficiency", company restructuring cause haLf of this department to be moved to the north; my boss had her work-Load haLved (though she stiLL compLains about having too much :shrug: ).

My attitude is that the work wiLL aLways be done on time (which it is) - apart from that, as Long as I get no compLaints I'LL joLLy around on D.U. to my heart's content.

[progmom]

88. it was a fun meeting

choosing which records to throw our support behind.

quotes:

"we should do that folky record thingy sarah likes"
"nikka costa is hot. and small. much smaller than i would have thought"
"yeah, it's lame, but people love bad music"

[ScreamingMeemie]

91. Wow!! Your meetings run FAST!

I wanna go to your meetings.

[progmom]

96. here's the secret:

no management was involved.
and i hand-picked the team based on their ability to reach quick decisions. and the fact that we make each other laugh. and understand each other when we speak shorthand.
most of the meetings i attend run much longer.

[MrSandman]

59. Have fun

:hi:

[progmom]

137. thanks, mr sandman

i did!

:hi:

[Misunderestimator]

65. You start a titillating thread like this and then just walk away...

figures... :P

[Zuni]

68. progmom....when will she ever learn?

:shrug:

[Jara sang]

69. You need to get that smiley into rehab

He's been hitting that pipe for as long as I can remember.

[Zuni]

73. smiley isn't ready to admit he has a problem

[Jara sang]

76. Should we have an intervention?

[ScreamingMeemie]

75. I am afraid he is going to set the Lounge on fire...or burn his eyeballs

or something. :hi:

[Jara sang]

77. He's been suckin' butane for the past four weeks.

[Zuni]

81. at least he stopped huffing glue

those were terrible times

[ScreamingMeemie]

83. Zuni!!! You of all people!! A smiley enabler!!

:cry:

[Zuni]

89. I have never been accused of such perfidy in all of my days!

[Jara sang]

93. Can't ya get one doing a bong hit or something? n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

97. I know you think you're being supportive, but in the end, smiley's going

to suffer. :(

[Zuni]

103. smiley already lives in a refridgerator box on the east side

[Jara sang]

87. I saw that smiley suckin' freon charges once.

He passed out and his lips got frozen to the air conditioner.:scared:

[Zuni]

90. that is how he lost his job as an A/C repairman

I am not going to even explain how he lost his job at the Vets office

[ScreamingMeemie]

72. I know...begs for reinforcements and then strolls away claiming meeting

typical. :hi:

[Jara sang]

74. Should have edited the title again n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

78. Yes...this one makes her look like a user.

:hi: ;)

[Jara sang]

80. It's been at the #1 spot for a while now n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

86. I think we've done a fine job, personally.

All it needs now are some recommendations.

[Zuni]

92. for the greatest page....nominated

[progmom]

104. HEY!

what kind of user?
i like to use conditioner.
that kind of user?

[Zuni]

105. bacon snorting, i think

:scared:

[ScreamingMeemie]

106. A people user of course!

To go with your clique-ish, self absorbed personality...

:rofl: It hurt typing that...for I have met you and you are really far from that image I have just projected onto DU. ;)

[Zuni]

108. she is always nice around strangers

while her family cowers in terror

[progmom]

115. thanks, MrsG

x(

I honestly don't know what to do about that perception. x(

[ScreamingMeemie]

122. Let them perceive.

:hi:

[progmom]

152. but as those perceptions are verbalized

i have less and less fun here.
and the way people react/interact with me changes.
until i really am limited in my interactions just to the handful of people perceived to be in my clique.
and as much as i love you all, that would make me sad.

[Zuni]

123. start shunning your friends

[progmom]

153. did you say something?

i thought i heard something.
nevermind.

:P

[progmom]

I cannot be trusted.

I am very very very very bad.

[Zuni]

126. lets just say i wouldn't let you have the keys to my liquor cabinet

if I actually had a liquor cabinet. Right now it is a half empty bottle of tequila and a few cans of Natural Light, but you still can't have them

[progmom]

131. i'm usually ok unless you get me around yivver or rev

then all hell breaks loose.

[GOPBasher]

84. You should fart in their general direction. n/t

[sundog]

94. you're just looking for attention

:eyes:

sheesh... I never do that :P

[ScreamingMeemie]

95. I think you need to go rant about that...

someplace else...and call us lots of really funny names too! :bounce:

[Jara sang]

99. Yeah

[sundog]

110. me too!

[Zuni]

100. such shameless silliness...

all for a pile of old pork sausage links! Never would I ever stoop so low as to sell myself for some stranger's affection on the internets or a warm choclate granola treat as these people have done today. And then the SEC is telling me that I can't spread rumors about rival companies to lower the value of their stock before I buy 50,000 shares...
:rant:

[sundog]

101. marionette lover!

[Zuni]

102. are those puppets all you care about?

[Misunderestimator]

107. Are you introducing us to your sockpuppet?

[sundog]

113. do you see a sock there? it's an evil marionettte... MrsG stores them...

in her garage & unleashes them after midnight on those who have wronged her during the course of the day :P

(shameless plug for the cryptic in joke lounge decoder ring)

:rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

120. That nails it then...

I am obviously not part of the in-crowd... or perhaps someone lost my address where the decoder ring was to be sent? Hmmm?

[sundog]

125. no, I'm inventing in-jokes as quickly as I can...

so that everyone THINKS they 'don't get it'... then they send the money... :P

[progmom]

127. clever, clever man

are you going to make me that brazilian mix disc?
if i send away for a decoder ring will you throw it in as a bonus?

[sundog]

133. actually, yes

i was thinking of that last night while listening to some tunes (for real)... give me your addy & i will burn a few this week :)

[Misunderestimator]

128. LOL

In that case... sounds a little like that time last year, you know, when you did that thing, and everyone was confused... wrapped this lounge around the axle you did... heh

[sundog]

155. shhhhhhhhh

:hide:

[Zuni]

132. like the time about the fish flavored popsicle?

That was too funny

[progmom]

135. ha!

:rofl:

that was one of your finest moments.

:rofl:

[Zuni]

138. I was hoping you forgot about that

and I for one hope that the "2004 Anteater Incident" will never be mentioned again

[progmom]

144. OMG - that was so fucking funny!

i thought the laundry pole was going to bend right in half!

:rofl:

[Zuni]

159. who knew underwear was so flexible?

:shrug:

[progmom]

164. not so much flexible as pliable

and teflon-like.

[sundog]

136. lmao - with the crab legs & chianti

:rofl:

[Zuni]

141. Those weren't crab legs! (*rim shot)

:rofl:

[sundog]

146. *snort*

:rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

157. I tried to tell you about my "secret"...

but that was the day you were ignoring me in favor of the "popular" people. :eyes:

:hi:

[sundog]

161. what was that? did i hear something?

:rofl:

:P

[Misunderestimator]

163. Don't mind her, that's just one of my sockpuppets...

I forgot to sign her out when she left for school... :rofl:


(Now THAT's an in-joke ;))

[sundog]

165. but you forgot to sign me out too... now get the bookstore open!

:rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

166. Nah... I'm goin' fishin'

:bounce:

[sundog]

167. ok, I'll make supper!

thank god your experience as a cop will assure that you are abiding by fishing regulations :P

[Misunderestimator]

168. Hold on a minute...

Gotta go find some articles to club together to defend my position... be right back!

Oh, and Have a Nice Day! :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

158. Dammit, sundog!!! I'm never telling you anything again...

x(

[Kathy in Cambridge]

118. According to DS1, you wouldn't want to get near my socks

x(

I was wondering if it was DS1 who stole my sandals at a DU gathering. And all along I thought it was sniffa.

[ScreamingMeemie]

109. Sure, sure...It's all fun...

Until somebody gets an eye plucked out by one of the those little wooden hands....:scared:

[Zuni]

111. or they come alive and terrorize your family

[Jara sang]

112. That's why I go with Balinese shadow puppets.

They are more furtive than sock puppets.

[sundog]

114. *ahem*

:evilgrin:

[Jara sang]

116. Elitist!

What is this cryptic decoder ring you speak of? :P

[sundog]

117. what you said!

send me the money first, then I'll show you

(scrambling to come up with an actual product)

[Jara sang]

119. Everything I have is tied up in the bond market.

Sorry...:(

[Zuni]

121. I should have never invested in Waffle Iron futures

the bottom has dropped out of that market

[Jara sang]

124. It's because Belgium didn't support us in the Iraq war.

Those freedom hating bastids.

[Zuni]

129. I just thin people have better things to do than make interesting waffles

:shrug:

[sundog]

130. why do you have a problem with James Bond?

[Zuni]

134. why do you have a problem with Ace Frehley

*rim shot

[sundog]

139. I don't like cards

[Zuni]

142. then why do you have that whole tarot card reading place by the Interstate

never could figure that out

[Jara sang]

148. $29.95 What the...?

How about I trade you a pencil sharpener, a bent fork and some lent from my pocket?

[Jara sang]

143. Your right, with everything thing the way that it is

I need to be more liquid.

[sundog]

151. not a good time to bring it up n/t

:P

[progmom]

140. mmmmhmmmm

:eyes:

[Jara sang]

145. Yes? can we help you?

[progmom]

147. would you?

i need help.

[Jara sang]

149. O.K. What with?

[progmom]

154. could you be my PR agent?

i need to work on my image here.

[Jara sang]

156. Sure! Let's see how about this for your new image.

[Zuni]

162. sexy

I like

[progmom]

169. where did you get that picture?

i've since had that dental work undone.

;)

[Jara sang]

170. That's not you, silly.

But that is the direction I'd like to steer your image in. I think the whole roller derby thing could work for you.;-)

[progmom]

171. my husband likes bad girls too

maybe you're on to something...

[Zuni]

176. oooh---perhaps you could become a lady wrestler

that would be sweet, especially after you take on MrsGrumpy in a steel cage

[progmom]

179. no - he's more into the brooding tough chick

like mary from the shangri-las (the one in the foreground)


or wanda jackson before her hair got all big:

[Misunderestimator]

172. Makes a great avatar...

[Jara sang]

173. I love it!

Unfortunately I have vowed not to change the upside down flag avatar, until fascism has been stomped in this country.:patriot:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

174. Is this some kind of a popularity contest?

I'm telling! :cry:

[Zuni]

175. only the cool kids can post here

you'll have to exit the thread. Perhaps 9-11 issues is more for you

[Kathy in Cambridge]

178. But I'm here to exorcise my Jr. High School demons and make

everyone feel guilty

:cry:

[Left Is Write]

177. I have absolutely no idea what you mean.

:shrug:

[progmom]

180. really?

me neither.

:shrug:

[Left Is Write]

182. Well, if YOU don't get it, how am I supposed to?

I am always late to these parties.

[progmom]

184. your invitation must have gotten lost in the mail

the party started at 9:39 sharp.


or are you one of those "fashionably late" types?

[Left Is Write]

195. No....but I *am* on a different time zone.

[progmom]

197. oh dear

i made a mess of it, didn't i?

how can i make it up to you?

[Left Is Write]

200. Hmmm....I don't know...

let me work on that. :evilgrin:

[Lilith Velkor]

183. That makes 3 of us

There goes the neighborhood.

[progmom]

188. well...since you're here anyway

have a seat.


what would you like to drink?

[Lilith Velkor]

203. Got any vodka in the freezer?

I'd like it poured into a well-used bong, then we'll smoke this'n here Thai stick and do resin shots when it's gone.

Got any Lawn Darts?

[Jara sang]

181. Isn't the proper term "threadjacked"?

As head of this clique you sure aren't doing a very good job of disseminating the "cool kid" lingo. How are we to communicate with one another?:P

[ScreamingMeemie]

185. I had fish for lunch...I don't recommend microwaving fish, but it was

okay. :hi:

[Jara sang]

186. ???

:wtf:

[ScreamingMeemie]

189. Are we not threadjacking????

We were this morning...now you've gone and messed up the fluidness of it all... :eyes:


:hi:

[Jara sang]

199. You can thread jack with fish?

Hey, I'm all for it.

[progmom]

190. I was bad - I had chicken fingers

and they were goooooooooooood. ;)

[ScreamingMeemie]

191. I love chicken fingers!!!!

The fish I had was Tilapia, drenched in butter, sprinkled with Dill and then zapped for 5 minutes. :hi:

[progmom]

192. My friend from Hawaii says Tilapia is "garbage fish"

She can't believe people on the mainland eat it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

194. ACK!!! Now you tell me...

This has been an informative thread btw...I am now checking my candle usage and looking twice at the fish I eat. :puke:

I wonder what will come up next here...:hi:

[progmom]

196. sorry

if it tastes good...well...then keep eating it!

[Zuni]

201. we were waiting for you to finish

HA! :rofl: I'm telling everyone you ate garbage :P

[Jara sang]

202. Tilapia is O.K.

It is just grown in aquaculture.

[Zuni]

198. ewwww...MrsGrumpy has been eating garbage!

[ScreamingMeemie]

207. Drenched in Butter even!!!!

:bounce: :puke:

[Deja Q]

187. I've dispatched my squad of heroes...

:hi: progmam :loveya:

[progmom]
