• My Mature Responses... #1: When I die it REALLY won't matter what's on my computer... #2: What sucks for me is when I realize a conversation is now an argument. #3: No number of past naps will make it easier to get through the times I feel like napping NOW. #4: I've always supported an HTML Sarcasm Tag, but a font? Isn't that Comic Sans? #5: Fitted sheets are my excuse for NEVER folding bedding. #6: I couldn't read the handwriting on this one. #7: If you don't live on a cul-de-sac, there is more than one way to leave your neighborhood. There are services that need "skip ahead" a lot more than MapQuest. #8: Cause of death is one thing the intended prime audience of obituaries (friends & relatives) DON'T want in their scrapbooks. more to come...
• #2 My favorite moments are when I discover I was wrong. We can learn so much more that way. #4 You should absolutely never use italics as your sarcasm font. #7 If I am trying to get home from somewhere else I really need those first 5 steps. The rest is all down hill. #10 [Other people's] Bad descisions make great stories.
• Oh, heavens! Here's that amuzing email that's been forwarded around the world and into my mailbox at least 23,131,531 times! *waits for Monkeys to improve upon it*
• I'm workin' on it, Gran Ma... #9: If you are never relaxed or excited enough to forget you're tired... then you're never relaxed or excited enough. #10: If your bad decisions are your best stories, you're doing it ALL wrong. #11: 2PM gets an undeserved bad rep, mostly from people who have never worked the Graveyard Shift. #12: I think it's easier to just ignore BlueRay and save the HD experience for after they perfect it. #13: In programs like Word, you ALWAYS make some kind of change you don't remember. Not an issue. #14: Caller ID usually tells me if whoever is calling is someone I want to talk with. When no name shows, it's ALWAYS someone I don't. #15: I've gotten a good look at the contents of my freezer, and I'd prefer it to remain unlit. #16: I'll go farther: I'd say far more kisses begin with beer, wine, silly looking cocktails, pot, breath mints, unexpected compliments and force of habit than with Kay Jewelers. stay tuned for part 3...
• and the big finish... #17: Drag-and-Drop Route Changes: Google Maps have them. Isn't it great to write "you know what we need" rants 15 minutes before it's made available? #18: Eating out of boredom? you must be even fatter than I am! (Unless you're doing the impossible and NOT boring yourself with this) #19: The number of allowable "What"s vary directly by how well you know someone: two for complete strangers, five for a best friend. Next question... #20: If you've ever seen more than four cars work together to cut off a jerk driver, you must live in a tougher neighborhood than I ever have. #21: Trousers get dirty. With a dark enough color they never LOOK dirty, but they are still dirty. If every dog you meet won't stop sniffing your crotch, WASH YOUR PANTS. #22: Does anybody really know what time it is? Because the third time you look at your watch, it really IS later than the first time. #23: As long as the alarm clock remains in the same location, you can always hit the snooze button easily after three of four wake-ups. And few things in life are more likely to stay in the same location than an alarm clock. #24: The time lag between using a cup and a helmet seems much longer in Hockey than other sports, but then, it's a sport played on a frozen surface with wooden sticks, a hard, flat 'ball' and sharp things on your feet, so allow for a higher level of insanity. Of course, Soccer (non-American Football) still doesn't use helmets, but I've never seen a player intentionally bounce a ball off their crotch. #25: Was this trip really necessary?
• into my mailbox at least 23,131,531 times! Think of me as an embarassing auntie. ;)
• I think of all you monkeys as the crazy aunts & uncles I never had, and I hope you think the same of me.
• [Other people's] Bad descisions make great stories. Afraid I have to disagree with ThinksTwice on that one. Telling the story about the time I told a man with a gun pointed at me to go fuck himself is every bit as great fun as telling the story about the friend who tried to seduce a man through a combo of past life memories and the need to save the world from destruction by psychic forces. If somewhat less weird.
