Worked for me and my sis. Well, not for my sis maybe, because she always had ants in her pants (still does) but you get the point.
Or maybe I'm just horribly traditional
Well, me, too. People have no internal resources. The oldfolks homes will soon be full of saggy tattoos and really boring old people.

Sis, nothing wrong with conventional and you just look too young and sweet (i.e. easily persuadable), that's the problem.
Okay, I'm going with this explanation. It's good for my self-concept.

If all other possibilities are wrong, the one remaining, must be true.

Wow, I've been singing all day. My throat hurts now >_<
Look the girl singing this song is wearing the traditional clothes from the village of my grandparents from my mothers side.
We learned this song in elementary school. It was a Christian school.

EDIT: And the men in this video are wearing the male variant. Don't listen to the song though. I don't like it

I'm making new forums at another board. It's amusing.

I'd rather be getting my house ready to paint, but there's a log in the road on that.

Is that a figure of speech? The log in (on?) the road thing?

Not enough, is the complaint I'm getting. When I first started on the Internet, I found myself (almost immediately) moderating a big public board. The folks from that board wound up moving...some to one board, some to splinter boards, some to email...people couldn't get along, and there were some technical interface issues. But I still got along with everyone, so I wound up moderating and being admin in a few MORE places.

Now we had a technical problem on one of the boards which seems to mean people want to move AGAIN, so I've been playing with the forums to see if I can settle people down.

*sigh* So much silliness.

Yes. Unexpected interpersonal difficulty. Maybe I should check my horoscope, or biorythmns, or something.

Several. Utterly boring, except that they're my friends.

Boards where the only conversations involve whether Timmy's IEP is sufficient to get him special accomodations during summer school, and what the ettiquette of RSVP ing siblings to barbeque birthday parties is...also, does anyone have a really fast recipe for fingerpaint, using items available in my kitchen?

What do you think of these drawerpulls? {IMAGE}

Have i mentioned recently how much I love you guys?

No, but it is implied in everything you do.

You can keep those boards, btw. And no offense.

WOW! Whoa those are some awesome eels! I agree the golden dwarf is actually pretty cute. But this one looks like the oriental dragon it was named after, holy cow that is cool looking!

Well at least I got one final out of the way, hip hip hooray!

That eel rocks. So do those squirrels.

Mari, of course you can pet the Mitzi kitten.

*Holds out a squirming black and white bundle o' fluff*

Careful though. She likes to bestow 'love bites' on her admirers.

"And we're back at M.O.O.T. 102,2 with The Moots playing The Beatles Here Comes the Sun..."

Here comes the Sane, here comes the Sane,
and I say she's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the Sane, here comes the Sane
and I say she's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the Sane, here comes the Sane
and I say she's all right

Sane, Sane, Sane, here she comes...
Sane, Sane, Sane, here she comes...
Sane, Sane, Sane, here she comes...
Sane, Sane, Sane, here she comes...
Sane, Sane, Sane, here she comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the Sane,
and I say she's all right
She's all right

I just saw and heard the most adorable sight of a kitty trying to meow and yawn at the same time. She squeaks!

*is lovingly bitten by Mitzi* Ouch? *bites lovingly but hard back* Thanks Willow!

Yay for Sane! Was that Spanish or do you still have to do that one?

Oh, did you know that there were yearly 12.500 underage travelers without supervision in Edo Japan? They went on a pilgrimage without their parents knowledge or consent. Some only 6 years old!
Weird stuff...

None taken. They're my friends, and I love them. A nicer bunch of women you'll seldom meet, and any one of them would put a busy life on hold in a heartbeat to put together (and mail) a carepackage for a friend having a tough week. They're awesome.

But the limitations of on-line conversation don't play to their strengths, and that's a fact. I believe it's an era thang.

Yeah, I met one in Macy's, yesterday. Probably a year old...perfectly happy to be playing with hangars in the dressing room when Mom was gone off.

I'd (as the Mom) have been registering more distress, but Madison was all cool when I took her hand. Only petty concerns about legality prevented my collecting her, she was a cutie.

Hehe, most kids are
But I doubt little Madison would undertake a pelgrimage of several weeks on foot out of religious conviction (Though I doubt it was as the writer of this book claims. They probably heard a lot about it from their parents and older kids, etc. Plus it was considered to be a rite of passage. What kid doesn't want to be grown up and be treated as an adult when they are young?)
