Mixed Nuts

[RobInBigKC]

Rob's right on this one (it pained me to say that). I say y'all all the time and I do live in the bustling metropolis of Cincinnati so i can't be a backwoods country bumpkin. HOWEVER, you working in your barn certainly fits the image.

Intense in what way? Violent?

Gentile? Isn't that an ethnicity? I'm going to need this list soon. It seems you people have come up with more than a few movies for me. I'm coming over to your house to watch some of them.

And on everything else also... just embrace it PJ.

Yes, including some violent acts against women. Oh, and language too, since we all know you're so innocent.

Yes, I know. Will have to try to get that wrapped up this week.

Oko, I just have to tell the story of my absence yesterday because it was AWFUL. I lost my dog.

She's safe and sound now. Never leaving my sight again!

So, you're taking her to class with you?

Sorry you had to go through this PJ but glad she's back. The first dog DW and I owned would literally run for a mile (or more) whenever she had a chance to bolt out the door. Back then, we lived right on the edge of fields (now subdivisions filled with houses) and I had to make many open field tackles on her over the years to catch her -- either that or let her wear herself out until she decided she had had enough running. Our current dog stays right in the yard if she gets out loose. Sooooo much nicer.

Oko, you win, I am going to COLOR CODE a post!!!

No. You were right on this ONE tiny matter. I am sure it will be a long time before it happens again.

Violent acts against women. No thanks. Strike it off the list and replace it with something heartwarming.

Email it to me asap. You might be interested to know that Eren very much wants to see this list. She will be participating in the movie watching. I told her creepster just needs a few more days to finish it.

I have exams at 10:30, 12, and 5:00. Then I have to be moved out of this joint by 9. I have this huge shelf thing on my desk that I am seriously thinking I am going to have to leave. I don't know what else to do. It's so, so heavy and it would never fit in my car. It does fit in my dad's car but there's no way I could get it out there. I got it into the apartment by asking the noisy boys upstairs to carry it in for me. I don't think they'll be interested in helping me anymore though. I guess my room mate and I could pick it up but then I don't know where we'd go with it.

A drive by...
Hey, Elis!
PJ--so glad & relieved you found yr dog!
Paige-- here's praying you've had yr run of migraines! 5 days is beyond awful!
Liz--
hey, Rob!

 

[apirateslifeforme]

What was the gesture if it wasn't the finger???

I was wondering the same thing Blue. You may have to PM us Liz.

-- Rob

Um, okay...

1. Bend arm at 90 degree angle.
2. Turn hand palm up.
3. Make fist.
4. Rapidly move fist back and forth.

Got it?

Sorry about the dog PEEJ, but glad she returned home.

We have an electric fence around our property so our dogs don't leave the yard. However, in my effort to promote my country bumpkin image, I will tell you that the dogs have to be locked up in a pen at night or the coyotes will get them.



OH, and on a side note, this is kinda funny. When we first set up the electric fence, dh was testing the collars to make sure they had the appropriate shock before we put them on the dogs. Ds-6 wanted to test it out. So, he picks up the collar and runs over and you see his eyes go and he throws the collar down. And then the crazy kid starts laughing. And he keeps picking up the collar and running over to get shocked. I thought "well it's not set very high" So I pick it up and walk over, expecting a little buzz, but NOOOOOO. I screamed "WTHeck?!?! How does he stand that?"

It's set up for our 100 lb. labs, not 40 lb. little boys.

*sigh* do you people see what I go through?

Hey Jean, Liz, PJ, and Rob.

 

[apirateslifeforme]

BTW...PJ, your little fuzzbutt is adorable!

Uh...by "fuzzbutt," I'm referring to the DOG...not that you have a hairy...

Never mind.

Oko, I just have to tell the story of my absence yesterday because it was AWFUL. I lost my dog. I was at my parents' house. They're at their vacation home so I'm in charge of my sister. SO, we were getting a new furnace put in and I was babysitting a 3 and 5 year old. We're innocently playing Mouse Trap when one of the furnace men comes up to me and asks me if it's okay that our dog is running off up the hill. What the hell was he thinking????? They let her out the front door which they had propped open and didn't even stop her. She was running up the hill which translates to straight to the road so I was FREAKING out.

That might be an understatement. This dog is my baby and I was terrified. But, I had to watch the boys so I couldn't go find her. I was running around screaming her name while coming in every few minutes to check on the boys. Eventually I put them outside in the playhouse where I could sort of see them and kept running around looking for her. I was crying to the point that I got sick and I could hardly even walk. I kicked off my flip flops I don't even know where so I could run better and started looking through the woods. My feet got all cut up but I didn't even notice at the time. It was wIerd. She was gone for 35 minutes but if you had asked me at the time I would have thought she was gone for days. I eventually found her in the woods. It was the worst feeling in the world. If she had gotten hurt or something worse I would have never forgiven myself. She's safe and sound now. Never leaving my sight again!

Glad it all turned out ok!!!!!!!!

Hey Jean, Liz, PJ, and Rob.

That reminds me of this one time when I was dogsitting this dog. I had to take its electric fence collar off to take it on a walk so it could go out of the yard. So, I took the collar off and put the other one on and took the dog for a walk and all was fine. Then, when we got back to the house I went to put the electric collar back on and I was carrying it over to the dog and I walked right across one of the boundaries or whatever. The fence is inside their house too so the dog can't get in the family room. That thing shocked me good! So I see a connection here....E and I have both been shocked by dog collars. There could be something more to this...

And thanks for once again making me laugh uncontrollably. Coyotes. Penning up dogs.

BTW...PJ, your little fuzzbutt is adorable!

Never mind.

Thanks for complementing my butt. I appreciate it. And thanks for the compliment on the dog.

Glad it all turned out ok!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Paige.

For all of those who I am sure were wildly concerned, my cousin is going to come put the shelf thing in his pickup so it's all good. He's going to store it at his shop then until August.

Ok, I don't usually pounce on what is probably a typo (especially since she spelled it correctly in the next sentence) and I'm also trying to stay away from topics like this but this one is too good to pass up.

You do realize that changing the word compliment to complement gives a whole different meaning to that sentence? Compliment -- verb -- say something to someone that expresses praise. Complement -- verb -- to make complete or perfect.

Which brings up the question: what would be the complement for PJ's, um, well, never mind. I've already came dangerously close to misbehaving.

Sheesh Rob, are you always this rigid about things?

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

I believe it to be time for a here we go. And don't act like you don't pounce on every typo I make.

And, there it goes.................it was nice finding the thread just in time.

I always tease PJ about being at her service to make her laugh and I always tease Rob about being so daggone rigid with every grammatical error we make.

Is that bad? They know I'm joking. Dont ya guys? Sorry if I offended, I'll be on my way. Have a nice day.

Is Rob always so rigid or stiff about the rules around here?

Not the ordinary mundane typos...

And not even every grammatical error... just those that change the meaning of the sentence.

Hey E............that wasn't what I meant. I don't even really belong here, don't listen to me. Sorry.

I'll step off.

No, it's not bad at all. I love that you make me laugh and I have never been offended by you. I know you're joking.

I'll try to be more interesting for you in the future.

Paige, stop it. You can post here all you want.

I was only doing a lunch time drive by. That's what I've been doing lately. Just works for me better.


See you guys later.

Thanks for the explanation - so are you the harem master around here? Do you grant access to the thread, oh benevolent one?
