Derail This Thread! [More:]I have some much to do at work. I don't have time to post this. What do y'all have planned for the weekend?
Lunch with friends in an hour, then heading up to my sister's for the weekend.

Glorious weather today, cold, clear, bright. A perfect autumn day.

Olivia is struggling to get warm enough to rebuild her web after a blustery cold front came through yesterday. What *is* the life expectancy of garden spider, anyway?

Don't know, chewie, but we used to have one which would doggedly rebuild a web between the car on the front drive and the hedge two feet away every night - until the car drove away in the morning. So that indicates their learning capacity is limited.

Very Special Kids (charity for children with serious illness) are having a fete. Art, designer clothes at bargain bin prices, cake. Myself & minigoshling have been saving our pocket money all year for this event.

I had a lizard in my living room last night. Some type of small, black, newty, salamandery lizard. I don't know how one gets a living room lizard in Pennsylvania in November.

I can't remember if a liquidy poo-containing fart is called a "flart" or a "shart."

When my ears get really really cold and then I come inside, they suddenly feel all hot and tingly.

FTR, shart.

Shopping, cooking, Wii, gym, cleaning, trying to find a new book to read.

jrossi4r, was it a lounge lizard? *groucho Marx eyebrows*

alto I was so happy for her, having caught a nice sized moth day before yesterday, too!

lfr - roller derby here tomorrow night, and I haven't drank much all week so I'm looking forward to lush & roll.

Well, he was sipping a tiny martini, lfr.

It was very small but looong and when I first saw it, I shrieked like a girl and jumped up on the sofa and my husband came running. Then I looked a little closer and said, "Sorry! False alarm! It has legs!" And then I thought it was cool.

So intense and irrational is my fear of snakes.
Legs = "Neat! A critter!"
No legs = "Holy fucktarts! Make it die with pain!"

Office mate on speakerphone: I need to send my printer back. It isn't working.

CSR for printer company: Okay, I can set up a return shipment and get you a label and address to send yours back. What is your e-mail address, sir? [He relates e-mail address.] Okay, when you get the link on the e-mail I just sent you, print the FedEx label and put it on the box to ship it.

Office mate: Um, well, my printer is broken, which is why I am sending it back...

CSR: I understand that, sir, so what I have done to speed up the process is send you a shipping label all prepared for you to ship the box out.

Office mate: How am I supposed to do that if my printer is broken?!

CSR: Well, you print it up and put it on the box.

Office mate: Okay, when we are done with this, I would like to order an instructional DVD on how to setup my DVD player.

CSR: I'm not following you, sir. I thought your problem was with your printer. We don't have DVD players.

Office mate: Dude, you're killing me! Can I speak to a supervisor, please?

When my ears get really really cold and then I come inside, they suddenly feel all hot and tingly.

And then I fall over. Not all the way, just a bit.

Also, the feeling of simultaneously searing hot and icy numb ears nauseates me. Am I the only one?

Specklet, oh my god that's freaking classic! Very nearly meme-worthy.

I want to change my name - this time, to Connor Prairie.
