That is the hard part of being self employed. Nobody to make you have to be there every moment. Too easy to goof off…

I have the same problem being a stay at home mom. Fortunately the kids don't mind if I miss any deadlines.

What kind of writing does Jamie do? Just curious.

Well, since the only deadline so far is bedtime, they're really forgving. I guess I'll have to shape up as time goes on though......

I am not sure. I have to remember to ask. I never know if its cool to pry on here about things like that, you know what I mean? Where do we draw the line in these matters?

Good point, I just thought maybe she had said and I missed it. I miss writing sometimes, and I was curious about what kind of field she was in.

Wow, I had a couple of serious posts! I wasn't sure I was capable of them anymore.

But I know what you mean. I start to think that I will be labled as “the weird guy in the Huh thread” after a couple of posting sessions in here! hahaha

Only after the posting sessions in the "huh" thread? As Surfer-X would say, I kid I kid.

I love the "huh" thread. No one can say we're off topic.

I haven't seen Surfer-X much lately. I guess he's out looking for his little Fucher.

fucher. nice…

I don't makes 'em up.......

Yeah, not much of anyone around today, I left some posts on the “legit” threads just to maintain some credibility!

I think I post on the other threads for the same reason. I guess I'm suffering from a little housing burnout, but I still like talking to everyone here. At least I've found a couple of kindred spirits.

Hey, this is interesting! I am now realizing that I am also suffering the
“no-wing-man” syndrome also!

Kind of pathetic without Jamie and SJ Jim aren't we? Not to mention Peter and Surfer-X. I don't think Peter and Surfer-X have sunk to our level of silliness yet, so I'm calling you and Jamie my "kindred spirits." My I have hope that we'll see a new level of silliness soon, and that all the blog will join in. Maybe I should sing "this little light of mine" now.

Oh and lets not forget Prat, he can be silly with the best of us. But he's not around enough to qualify for full membership into the silly club yet.

Prat is a whole different level of quick witted. I'd love to see him and Surfer-X on a roll, that would be something.

Yeah, either of them is a one-man roll all by themselves most of the time.

True, I miss Harm too.

I'm getting maudlin.. where's Jamie when I need her? Quick, I need to think of something totally irrelevant...

_Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day_

After my last post I know you're not going to want to be called a kindred spirit!

Thanks. Even though you have emblazoned this wonderful image in my mind just before bed tonight, I still want to be your “special spirit person” SQT.

Lol
Thanks for the compliment. I was just trying to bring the silliness level back where it belonged.

Have you seen Austin Powers? That's where the Margaret Thatcher reference comes from.

How did we go from nurse outfits to underwear? Have you been talking to my husband?

You should get the video of the school girl Sat Nite Live lady though…

Maybe I will. Actually, I should memorize some movie monologues, for the sake of authenticity...

Austin was trying to keep from getting er..aroused (asking for trouble in bringing that up ---oh no--another double entendre--gah!) so he kept trying to visualize _Margaret Thatcher on a cold day_.

Maybe I should compare harmless fetishes with your hub, hm?

Don't go giving him any ideas......

But I promised I wouldnt pry in your laundry…. didnt I?

Yes, and my garage doors.

I cant believe you are dragging THAT one back into the daylight for closer scrutiny SQT… now I KNOW you are truly bad.

You said it first. (That argument ranks right up there with "I know you are but what am I?")

You have come SUCH a long way! The last time I said that, you LEFT! I felt terrible and misunderstood and awful. Now YOU are bringing it up? Talk about raising the bar…

I left? Sorry if I made you feel bad, it wasn't my intention (thought I was a bit shocked you said that, but not offended)

It killed me how we had four people just throwing out all kinds of lewd comments around at the same time, and then mine just got completely isolated and hung out to dry, at the end. Everybody just bolted and I am left with MY lewd comment just sitting there for inspection (for 24 hours no less!)

You need to get threadmaster powers, it's good to be able to go back and self edit. Though you can only edit on the thread you create.

The humiliation. The shame. The horror!

Yours might have been the last comment, but we all had posts just sitting there waiting for the light of day. I tell you, "bloggers remorse" is going to have it's own twelve step program before you know it.

So, have you NEEDED to censor er “edit” yourself lately?

Er.....um...No?

you have probably combed the Huh? thread gleaning out everything that would show how depraved you are, and leaving me looking even worse than I have already been

You know, you can always claim the threadmaster edited your posts to make them worse than they really were. (Peter P "owns" this thread btw.. so I can't be "guilty as charged.")

What was it you did last night– you left something hanging when you chose just the right moment to say: …”will you look at the time!”

Ah, you caught that.

Actually, since I have to get up and take my daughter to school early tomorrow, I should call it quits for the night. Besides, shouldn't we quit while we're not leaving depraved posts?

Just to prove we can?

Oh, and NOW you bring up the underwear thing.... talk about timing.

Yeah... would you look at the time??

_YAWN_

See you tomorrow Jack. ;)

Holy crossed wires Batman! Night Jack.

Okay, I have NO willpower. Nothing like Jack and his can opener: crank, crank, crank, slowly around the can (I can't get that image out of my head--somebody help me!). I just read the past 500 or so posts. I apologize for my untimely departure, and I won't let it happen again! No, I was not off on some fun and exciting weekend adventure, unless going to Rancho Cucamonga to look for a new computer qualifies.

Last week was a downhill slide for a multitude of reasons, all work-related and all completely boring (no, I'm not behind on any contract deadlines). By the end of the week I was in a depressive funk and feeling a wee bit responsible for all the world's problems. But how could I forsake the Huh thread? What was I thinking? Clearly it was just my funk talking. I won't get my priorities screwed up again.

(Only behind on self-imposed deadlines, and those are the bitches. No willpower, remember?)

"Now, shut up and get the canopener!"

Eewww. We are so not going down that "dark road." :-P

Okay, okay, where IS SQT, anyway?

And where is Mr. Fuchs???

I just added to the conversation next thread up with Jeff and his Minnesota rules rant. Now I've got the Beverly Hillbillies song stuck in my head. Damn it. Must go cook dinner now.

Hi Jamie

Glad to see you back. Sorry I couldn't check in earlier today, I had appointments and other such nonsense that kept me away from the truly important thing in life-- the blog!

Jack

I wasn't trying to contradict you on the other thread. In fact, I just posted to say I liked CA, I'm just tired of the pretentiousness the housing boom has brought to my area. I have no desire to live in Minnesota, that's for sure.

A joke....
A guy moves to Seattle. It rains the day he moves in and every day for the next two weeks.
He see's a neighbor kid outside his window and shouts down to him, "Hey kid, does it ever stop raining here?"
The kid looks up and him and says "How should I know, I've only been here six years."

Its OK…. I KNOW you are out to get me now. Ever since the….. “incident”.

Huh?
