I can't think of anything funny. :001_huh:

Have a lovely weekend!

Cute thread!

 

Nance (who is anticipating the arrival of her MIL at any moment and hopes that you will all wish her luck that the several-day visit goes smoothly without ending in (too much of a) desire to kill anyone (husband or MIL) and also wonders whether parentheses within parentheses are a valid use of said parentheses).

It does share a bit more of ourselves than simply replying and staying on topic.

 

Gin (who is pondering the aquatic ape theory while resting from disassembling furniture while contemplating yet another cross country move and tinkering with the idea of doing a seahorse/undersea crewel project and also thinking she is bugging others with this run-on 'sentence' which lacks punctuation and realizes she is thinking about TOO MANY THINGS)

True, but I needed to say SOMETHING in order to put a quote at the end of my post.

I'm frustrated. I tried to buy a car today. I don't have a new car.

 

Denise - who wants to use the heads of the salesmen as pool balls and play a game of pool

 

Denise - who wants to clang the heads of the salesmen together like cymbals

 

Denise - who is so used to riding her small Pilot that she almost fell getting out of the Yukon - and it's NOT because she's a small person (she's 5'9.5)

 

Denise - who is tired and should be in bed but is having too much fun on WTM

 

Denise - who would like to use the heads of the salesmen as golf balls and whack them with a club

 

Denise - who would like to take the two salesmen, fashion them to a wall and play Pin The Tail On The Car Salesmen Who Tried To Rip You Off

 

Denise - who wants to use the heads of the salesmen as bait and go fishing. For sharks.

 

Denise - who should be ASHAMED of herself for her sense of humor because It Is Just Wrong

 

(ok, please understand this all is a JOKE and a tension release!!!)

 

Denise - who doesn't want to get bashed for her ill sense of humor

 

Denise - who should just erase all of the above but is going to hit submit instead.

Mariann, since I KNOW you're checking this thread - any update on the hedge-trimming privacy-peepers?

 

Kathryn ~ who lost the aforementioned battle to control her temper.

 

Kathryn -- nothing new. dh will be travelling and fences and the like cannot be installed when he is not here - he must be home for that stuff.

 

this morning, though, the dog was snoozing on the front steps, and ds9.5 goes out on the porch and then comes back in with the half-asleep dog. I ask him what is going on. He responds, 'Those people are outside working on their lawn. The dog doesn't want to see that.'

:lol::lol::lol: Our dog is a hound - he SLEEPS.....with his eyes closed. He doesn't SEE anything! He can SMELL a squirrel three counties away, but he doesn't SEE anything if he's sleeping!:lol::lol::lol:

 

Of course, this is the same little boy who when we took the dog to the PetSmart Pet Hotel 4 weeks ago b/c we were going away for the weekend, ds was upset that in the 'standard' accomodations there were dogs barking.......you know, the way dogs bark......not for any reason......just barking. Well, our dog really doesn't bark.....at all. So ds goes over to the clerk who was checking us in and says to the clerk, 'Do you have other accomodations? Those dogs are going to be a very bad influence on our dog.' Clerk: :001_huh:. Me: 'What is the price of the private pet suite? OK - we'll put the dog in the private suite.':drool5:

Denise - who slept too long but was more tired than she thought and is feeling SO much better today

 

Denise - who finds this thread hysterical and realizes it's the little things in life she finds amusing, which makes her realize she's a simple person, and wonders exactly what that means, and worries if she's TOO simple, but then accepts she is who she is, but wonders if she should change, and is stuck in this everlasting quandry

 

Denise - who is happy to start painting the house again today (dh keeps telling me it's STAIN not paint, but to me it's paint, it's colored, and so I say paint, because when I refer to stain, I'm thinking transparent stain, and I'm thinking laundry, which makes me get the bottle of Oxyclean, a company which we should buy stock in because we are, I'm sure, their biggest customer) because she loves the new color, but would rather go to the beach and read her first downloaded book on her Kindle, and perhaps she could stop at Portsmouth Chevy on the way to see if they have a car that will fit her needs, but doesn't want to have to deal with car salesmen and doesn't want to vent to WTM about another bad experience, but was glad to vent here instead of to dh or my IRL friends, and this run on sentence has turned into a book, so I must................
