Tiffany i was pricing red "hammer time" bumper stickers last night before i passed out! GMTA? how funny would that shit be? - Orphan Spinster Librarian

I learned not to mess with our cats when I realized they're awake while I'm sleeping. That's power. Personally, I think they throw wild parties all night long and we're all just sleeping fools. - Kevin C. Tofel
My mom was telling me a story yesterday of a cat at their work (yes, they had a bunch of pets) that would pee on its owners keyboard, because it didn't like they kept bringing in new pets. Oh, they know what is yours, and they will defile it. - Tim Hoeck
It cracks me up how J actually went in and wrote: "I want to read the rest of these..." and lists the emails haha Santa has bad taste. His theme = UGLY - Mona N.

“Diet Dr Pepper has got to be the best burp juice EVER. I love to belch obnoxiously (as in, the kind that registers on the Richter scale) and follow it up with a small, sweet, demure little "Oh, excuse me!"”
You guys are so cute. I have yet to meet a human female who will publicly admit to out-belching me. It's one of the few things I'm actually good at. :) - ha3rvey

Well, ha3rvey, if we ever have lunch together, the belch-off is ON! :-) - Ladybug Heather

...I can't tell from this angle - is there sufficient head clearance or is there a possibility of a taller person undoing all your hard work and/or electrocuting themselves? - WorldofHiglet
according to something i read on national geographic: Jupiter and Venus are particularly bright, partly because both have highly reflective clouds that completely envelop them, but also because Venus is Earth's closest neighbor while Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. "This is set to be the best planetary gathering of the year, simply because it involves three of the brightest objects in the sky after the sun," said Geza Gyuk, director of astronomy at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago. "As long as you have clear skies in the early part of the evening, this is one astronomical event that's hard to miss." - Cee Bee
Oh I missed that too. *going to look for pics* - Carmen
We saw it from our window at dinnertime but didn't know what it was. I'll have to tell my kids about it tonight as we look again. - Barron Fujimoto

LOVE that show!! and that episode was EPIC!!! sooo funny, "As God is my witness, I did NOT know turkeys could not fly" i.e. as thrown from a helicopter !! hahahahahhaaa!! Watch out below!! - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
i love it too. that stack pic is crazy. nice set and thanx for the love. - Carlos Ayala
I think you know which photo you have to attempt next. And this small set was inspired by your photo so thank you. Hadn't thought about searching for the game before this. <3 - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
I usually do well unless I'm playing against my friend Sam who is so ridiculously smart it's a joke that I even play with him. Whenever I go up against him, I play for a personal best score. sigh. You gotta know your limitations, I say. heh. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
Scrabble is serious business in my family and extended family. Where other families play cards or dominoes or whatever at family gatherings we play Scrabble.People cheat, make up words, try to intimidate others into not playing words in certain positions. It's great. - Daryl aka Lil Trumpet Boy
Sam's ex got soooo mad one time because he didn't like the fact that we sometimes played made up words. We had to try and explain that that's PART of the freaking game but he was having none of it. Needless to say, we take our Scrabble playing seriously too. :D - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
One of my aunts studies (STUDIES) the Scrabble dictionary so she's always prepared when a game presents itself. It's just that serious. - Daryl aka Lil Trumpet Boy
oh my god. I can't believe I've been discussing Scrabble for this long without mentioning ONE.OF.THE.BEST.BOOKS.EVER. Daryl! You should get your aunt Word Freak for Christmas. http://www.amazon.com/Word-Fre... - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
People look at me funny whenever I suggest reading a book about professional Scrabble players but, trust me, they've all come around. Each person has LOVED that book. (Well, except for Sam's ex but whatever. I already mentioned he had Scrabble issues.) - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
I've been looking at new scrabble boards for our game night party. I have a perfectly fine one, but it's game night! why shouldn't I splurge on that nice one of that expanded board? - Anika Malone
Sweet! Never heard of it. I may have to order one for me and one for my Mom as well. Now if I could only get my wife interested in the game. Maybe if I drug her... - Daryl aka Lil Trumpet Boy
Daryl, well, would she still be able to spell if you drugged her? ;-) - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
I've got a plain old standard board my Mom gave me when I gave her a deluxe travel edition for Christmas. She had been using it as an on the go board instead of hauling her huge rotating one. Now she just takes the travel one everywhere. It's not worth getting a new one since I don't have anyone to play with here. My Scrabble skills are rusting away due to neglect. - Daryl aka Lil Trumpet Boy
I was just thinking the same thing. I never needed my own board because I only ever played at Sam's place. But seeing these boards made me really want a board. But I have no one to play with sooo, hmm. Problem. I considered going to a local Scrabble tournament but I'm not sure about that. Seems a bit intense. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
I've never been to one but I think it could be fun. If nothing else you could laugh at all the intense, super serious folks. :-) - Daryl aka Lil Trumpet Boy
You have to read the book to understand why I hesitate about going to one of those meetings. Though i suppose it's not fair to base them all on that one book. hee. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
You'll have to let me know what you think of it... now that I've hyped it up. Ooops. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
Funny Scrabble moment with my sister. She had "art" and I had the 'q' and the 'u'. She goes, "What the hell is Que-art?" I told her I went to the store for a Que-art of milk. It is now a family legend. :) - jlt
jlt, nice! My (and Sam's) favorite Scrabble moment was the night he was having an off night. Was playing tiny little words for no points basically. For once me and his bf had a chance of winning. Or so we thought. Why did my boy come through with a bingo on a corner on the last possible play? I burst out laughing and his bf was so disgusted he actually stood up and left the room. Sam and I giggle every time we remember that because, well, we are evil like that. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
Reminds me of a Jumble I played once. We were stuck on a word and finally tried every combination of letters and came up with el-even. What the hell is el-even? We looked it up in the dictionary: the number 11. - Weezer Taylor
No they don't. All they need is muumuus so they can sit on the sofa and eat bon bons. *perches on sofa and munches bon bons in a delicate manner* That said, danskin has some nice stuff in plus sizes. http://www.danskin.com/plus.ht... - Orphan Spinster Librarian
Word. My stuff is from the men's section of Target, but it would nice to be able to find a nice pastel ladies shirt that can hold Bert & Ernie. - Anika Malone
Yeah, I end up with men's clothes when it comes to golf shirts. Is hard to find a sports bra in size Thirty-Bajillion DDD, though. *grump, bitch, moan, complain* - Ladybug Heather
Heather, I get my bras at a specialty shop called Creative Woman (http://home.flash.net/~bras/). They deliver, too. When I got fitted again at the beginning of the year, I freaked out about finding a sports bra in my size. But the lady said, "L cup? No problem, it'll be in 2 days." GASP. And it fits like a dream with no uniboob. - Anika Malone
I am ordering a sports bra from Junonia, since they actually carry my size (unlike brick & mortar store I've seen so far). The rest of their gear is a bit out of my price range. Wishing I had bought more than one pair of workout pants when I found them at Target oh so many years ago! - åņņå
Side note: the ladies at Lane Bryant looked offended when I asked if they had any athletic pants. They do, but only one pair per size, and they're hidden in the back. I guess if women got fit, they would lose business. - åņņå
Finding a "good" sports bra is hellishly hard. At least with other items I can raid the men's department if absolutely necessary. - Katy Southern
Every lady should get fitted properly. This means not relying on dept. stores or Victoria Secret. This means going to a specialty store and getting fitted right. You'll find out that while you thought you were a 36C, you were actually a 32DD. That will help you find the idea sports bra. - Anika Malone
Agreed - a fitting is important. And one should be regularly "fitted" since we change with age. - Katy Southern
Now, then. Fitness comes in all sizes. - Dorothea Salo
Okay, stupid question: could someone please give specific names of the "specialty stores" that do proper fittings? It will most likely require a road trip, but at least I'll know which direction to go in. - librarienne
Nordstrom has a good reputation for bra fittings. If you're in NYC, there are a lot (Town Shop, Intimacy, Bra Smyth). Keep in mind that you don't have to buy the bra/size that they recommend. - Meg vM
I'm such a weird size. 34DDD, according to my last bra fitting. But I hadn't fully weaned my son then. Hoping I'm down to a 34DD or up to a 36DD. Much easier to find the latter size. - Laura Norvig
librarienne, just do a local search for lingerie store. The problem with going to dept. stores is that they don't have the right training and will try to stuff you into a bra they sell. - Anika Malone
the Danskin stuff looks great! Junonia bugs me, because their pants never fit and I've had bad customer service experiences. - martha ☮
Nordstroms was hawesome for bra fitting. And don't get me started about women's biking clothes in ANY size, let alone large sizes. Yes, a size 18 gal would occasionally like to go biking in the rain. (And even at my current size 6-10 (!?!), my local bike shop didn't have rainpants in my size. WTF?) And no, I do not want pink socks or a pink jersey. kthxbye. - Elaine Nelson
Elaine: I hear you on the pink gear. I've given up trying to find athletic gear for women that doesn't contain some sort of pastel color. Grrr.... - åņņå

Oh yeah, the pastels drive me batty in all types of clothing. I dread buying spring/summer clothes, because I know the non-pastel options will be slim. - Katy Southern
what about that spring green that like *everything* is now? How about pants that fit my hips but are like 8 inches too big on my waist?(oh heaven forbid aerobics or yoga instructor has us lean over!) - Christina Pikas
