I just scared the crap out of myself just now

[Roon]

I broke my coffee maker so I borrowed my Grandparents' electric four cup percolator that they use when they are in Vegas. I just put on some coffee and sat back down and I was reading the ghost thread and fell for the damn ghost video that scares the shit out of you, so I am a little jumpy. Anyway, I am sitting here, it's quiet when all of a sudden there's this loud SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! coming from the kitchen. I was too scared to go look. I finally got enough guts after I heard a second quieter screeeeeeee and realized it was the damn coffee pot.

If I ever see or hear a ghost, I will die of fright, I just know it. This house is 110-years-old.

1. Perculating coffee pots intimidate me.

Don't they have parts inside that you have to assemble before you can make coffee? :scared:

[Roon]

3. yep!

You have to assemble it before you can make coffee.

[Heidi]

4. Between perculating coffee pots and IKEA furniture,

I am doooooooooooooooooooooomed. :cry:

[Roon]

7. The coffee pot at the cabin is worse

You have to use it on a gas burner. Takes FOREVER, by the time you make a pot, it's lunchtime. (jk)

[Heidi]

10. Ack! That's like our old espresso pot.

CMW's the only one who ever uses it. The Nespresso machine is more aligned to my skill set. :rofl: :spray:

[Roon]

14. I just need to get a new coffee maker the minute I can afford it.

This four cup pot is not cutting it. (I drink out of an over sized mug, so it's actually a two cup pot)

2. Don't worry

If you see a ghost, chances are it won't believe in you.

[Roon]

5. Thanks! I feel much better!

Welcome to DU. I feel honored that your first post was on my thread! :hi:

[Indi Guy]

22. The honor is mine

I've since posted in some other threads, and you're the first to welcome me here :)

You've "Roon"ed me for other compliments ;)

[amitten]

6. Fuck off. n/t

[Roon]

8. What is that all about?

:-)

[amitten]

11. Damnit, I wanted to be his FIRST reply on his FIRST DU post!

So I tried to make it memorable! I was joking, of course.

But you beat me to it, Roon! :cry:

Now I need to go explain to the poor fella...

[Heidi]

13. Can't beat a warm welcome like that!

:rofl:

:spank:

[amitten]

15. I have a feeling I've committed a faux pas...

but one I found hilarious, so whatevs.

[Heidi]

16. That was more of a GDesque welcome

than the typical "ASL?????? Whatta u wearin'?????" Loungesque welcome. :rofl: :spray:

[Indi Guy]

26. I'm wearing a black halter & loose khakis

Oops! I momentarily lapsed into a Larry Craig dream. (My bad)

[Heidi]

27. Alluring!

:rofl:

[Indi Guy]

28. You should se me in Spandex...

;)

[Heidi]

29. Only geniuses

(and journalists who have been spanked by the Spandex Media Relations Department) know that Spandex is a registered trademark and capitalization is therefore mandatory. :thumbsup:

[Indi Guy]

32. I've never been spanked by Spandex because

the fabric is so forgiving.

[Heidi]

34. See, now right there is where you're wrong.

[Indi Guy]

35. I see what you mean

However, there is less chafing here than with tighty whities.

And thanks for the Spandex search!

[Heidi]

36. Further,

Spandex does have a certain truss-like quality. :P

[Roon]

17. No, i just didn't understand

I posted when I was really drunk one night and thought maybe I gave you a hard time. I have a hard time keeping track of who is who sometimes. :hi:

[amitten]

18. And you were very amusing in your low-key response...

"What is that all about?" :)

THAT had me rolling! :rofl:

[Roon]

20. LOL!!

EOM

[Indi Guy]

25. It was so warm it was hot!

eom

[Indi Guy]

24. Seems like you need some more comfortable bedding for your drawer?

Only kidding :)

[Perseid]

9. I swear, the responses just keep getting better and better

I like having a smile, and this one kept it there!

[Indi Guy]

33. :-)

:)

[Heidi]

12. Welcome to DU, Indi Guy!

:hi:

[Indi Guy]

31. Thanks Heidi!

I was instantly drawn to the lounge (lounging around seems to come easy to me).

[amitten]

21. Um...hi. Welcome to DU!

By the way, I was kidding when I said to fuck off.

I wanted to make the response to your first DU post a memorable one! :toast:

An initiation of sorts...

I should probably sleep now.

[Indi Guy]

23. amitten, No problem

I appreciate acerbic wit (smart assedness) more than anyone I know! You have no idea how many times I've been misunderstood (neither can I, come to think of it).

I like to turn things on their tail; and in this spirit I wish you a surprising "Off Fuck." (You know, the kind where you don't expect intimacy but it happens spontaneously.)

Sincerely, you have nothing to apologize for.

[amitten]

38. Good. Back to my drawer. n/t

[conscious evolution]

37. LOL Good one

Welcome to DU.

[leftofthedial]

19. water,

then soap and water,

then lysol,

then soap and water again,

then water,

then burn lots of candles.

[Roon]

39. candles are creepy too!!

I used to have a shrink who claimed that he had a martial arts instructor who could bend the flame on a candle using his inner energy. I would FREAK if i saw that.

[krispos42]

30. Toss the soiled undies in a zip-lock bag and ditch'em

Then take a shower and wash your pants.

:P

[Roon]

40. LMAO!

I have to admit, that I was very far from that.
