Typhoid Lisa

[lisas3575]

Hey Kima, I killed at least three threads today. :D

[Peeps]

I know I killed at least two.

Oh geez...I hope someone posts after me here so I don't kill this one too!

[beacooker]

I'll post for you, Peeps.

But, what in the HECK are you guys talking about???

[lisas3575]

On a thread Kima started a while ago, we were commenting on how sometimes there's a lively discussion on a thread until you post something, and then everyone mysteriously falls silent.... you've killed the thread. :D

[little_bopeep]

Same here, y'all....what is this magic effect we seem to have????

[Beth]

I thought that was my job! I have even wondered if I might get emails from CL telling me, "It's time!" :D

[MKSquared]

You know, I get these same, feelings, too. Maybe I'll dig up my examples from this past week ... :)

[KristaMB]

Another thread killer extraordinaire chiming in! I know I've killed a few recently.

Uh, hey wait... we can't all be thread killers, can we???

:o

[MKSquared]

Krista, just noticing you posted your 467th post ... immediately after my post listed as 467. :) Just something to point out, and to keep this thread from going under! ;)

[KristaMB]

MaryKate, we're tied! How cool! :)

(Adding later...but I just ruined it by making this post. Duh.)

[Wendy w]

oh come on Lisa, we all know that I am the grand murderess of threads! Sometimes I'm the only one.:rolleyes:

[kima]

You realize don't you that this post will never end!!
Do you all know that irritating song that Lambchop sang...
This is the thread that never ends, it will go on and on my friend....
Okay my singing should KILL it! Don't worry can take it!:D :D

[Mamasue]

Lets not make this thread end unless you want me to sing this time! :D I learned yet another thing here today....thread killer....it happens to me too. :)

[Peggy C.]

So that should be the end of this!

Not quite:D :D ;) :p

I killed a few last week, but don't think I've managed to do it yet this week...

Leigh

[Gina O]

I simply couldn't resist :p

I went though a period a few months ago where I thought that Gina = Death to threads, but I seem to be doing better lately. :)

[KathrynY]

I've had those days too - glad to hear I'm not the only one.

(Hoping someone posts after me so I don't get a reputation! ;))

[wallycat]

I thought it was me that killed them :o :D ;)

[BarbaraL]

I've never worried that I've killed an ongoing thread; just that I've started one that no one's interested in. Sometimes I'll open a thread that has no responses, because I think the author may be wondering why no one's interested in her/his ideas.

As I posted on another thread, sometimes I feel like "Typhoid Barbara" with television shows. Seems shows that I like are doomed to fail. Oh, well; I like to read!

[Svadhisthana]

I've killed my fair share of posts.............

Heheheheh....we can have a new song, a take off on that really awful rap song ("rap" is merely "crap" with a silent "c", IMHO) that I won't dignify by speaking its name. We can call it "Thread Killa."

:D

[Gail]

...and here I thought it was my bad puns doing in threads prematurely... :D

[Molli526]

I will kill this one for the team :)

[BarbaraL]

Oh, no you won't . . .he he he!

[ISAIAH30_18]

no, I'm sure I'm the culprit.....

[Susan]

Nope it's definitely me... :D

[Laura B]

OK. I'm here to put this to a stop. :)

And goodness, we cannot let this thread end because then the last person will feel bad! :o

[boisewinesnob]

When I left the boards for my "addiction" experiment I first went to my profile to unsubscribe from all threads (so I wouldn't be tempted to go look) and I must've been the last one to post to at least 50% of all threads I had responded to. I would say that gives me the prize for killing the most :o .

Suzy

[Missi]

No, it is I who has come to suck the life out of another thread (said in an echoing vampire voice) :D :D :D

No need to feel bad. If you're going to be a thread killer, you might as well be the BEST thread killer! :D

Pick me! Pick me!

[Mamasue]

http://www.millan.net/anims/giffar/because.gif

No...No...pick me....not her

[MrsReber]

You guys are silly! It will be the neverending thread. I get that feeling an awful lot, too, that I've killed a thread. I thought it was just me. Well, I guess I'll find out for sure now that I've actually posted on this thread.

[Natasha]

Nice try, Susan...

Oh, and the other Susan (Mamasue) - your graphic had me LOL.

Natasha

Someone please post after me...[crossing fingers and looking around furtively]

[SandyM]

:p

[Mandy]

Now I know I'm not alone!

That's why I love it here....there's always someone that feels the same way.

Ok, now this will die. May it R.I.P.

:(

[dcornelius]

I've done it so many times! After a while it gets embarassing! You start to get a complex!;)

[ISAIAH30_18]

well....I've killed 2 or 3 today alone.....I'm going to "lurk" now...:(

[MrsReber]

He he he he....... That's okay, there's plenty of other threads that I've killed. I can accept it if I don't kill this one.

[Molli526]

This thread is going to be like the Energizer bunny. It will keep going and going and going and going and going and going......

[lhall]

It may even beat the Photo Thread for the longest thread ever....

Leigh

[dcornelius]

Could it beat the photo thread!?:eek:

[Chefzhat]

Not dead yet!!!:D :D :D

[HRJ]

I love this thread!!

I'd been avoiding this for a while, because I thought it would be about Lisa getting other people sick, and I didn't feel like reading about germs or anything. (Sorry, Lisa). But I finally opened it, and I'm LOL-ing.

Like everyone else, I was sure I was the thread-killer.

So, here goes.

Helene

[Mamasue]

Let's keep going......and going......and going.....

[sushibones]

You guys are having WAY too much fun!!

I no longer worry about killing threads; I just worry about being ignored in threads. Somebody talk to me. Pleeeeeeease. :rolleyes: So obviously I won't be the one ending this thread.

[LaraW]

I'll end this thread.......

[dcornelius]

Here's one for you... ok, I also deal poorly with being ignored on here. Take the infamous photo thread for example. If you look back and note that practically every picture on there got at least two or three comments you will notice mine, got not even one!!!!! I went into a deeper and deeper depression every time opened that thread and no one had commented on my picture....:( But that's ok you guys, don't worry about me I'm over it... I'm sure I am... doesn't it seem like I'm over it...?;)

[MKSquared]

Hey, no one commented on mine, either. :)

Seriously, I notice some members more than others -- and you're one of the ones I notice, dccornelius! I've recently found out that people DO remember things about you, and things that you've written -- even if they don't bring 'em up all the time. I think we're all just a little insecure!

It's time to stop -- we're all important! Really!

And I'm okay with ending this thread. Seriously. So don't post anymore responses. I dare ya!

[Peggy]

I'll take the dare!!!:p Haven't been on the BB much today so haven't killed too many threads. So...I'll kill this thread!

Peggy

P.S. Just watch...I really will be the one responsible....:rolleyes:

[SusanL]

let you do that??I am still the Queen of the Dead Threads!!
But now I have to worry about all of those unposted threads I started, thanks Sushibones for giving me something else to worry about ;)

[Mamasue]

Good Morning USA and Canada.....

(((((((((((dcornelius)))))))) ((((((((((MKSquared)))))))))

[HRJ]

Good morning, Mamasue!

... and everyone else!!

Will this thread survive the day?

Helene

[LaraW]

It's surviving so far!

Do we all have an inferiority complex or what??? I know I do sometimes. OK, well, a lot of the time.

[Maelynn Cheung]

OK. I'll settle this. The only person here who can REALLY kill a thread is me. But I won't kill this one... you all are just having way too much fun.

Nah!! I don't believe you!! I don't recall seeing any threads you have started without replies. I will make it a personal mission to respond to any lonely thread with SusanL's name on it!

Peggy

[RobinC]

I think I kill most of the few threads I come out of lurking and post on. I just had to de-lurk and make a post on this one. :)

i didn't post on the photo thread because no one ever notices my comments either!!!!! i think i'm invisible!!!! i try not to take it personal. :p but if my photo had been ignored...that might have sent me over the edge. :) I had no idea how sensitive i was!!! :p :p :p

[lisas3575]

I don't think anyone purposefully ignores anyone else...

This thread is cracking me up... I'll post something really important and it gets maybe 3 or 4 responses. This is the lamest thread I've ever posted and we're onto our second page! :p :p :p

Oh, I think you are right that no one is purposefully ignored....there are plenty of BRILLIANT things I never respond to that I see on here. It's just so funny to me that I wouldn't notice that my office neighbor didn't say good morning, but I notice my "imaginary friends" are ignoring me......

if Seinfeld were still running....this could be a show!!!!

[Mamasue]

This thread will not END. If every registered member here just posts once then we will have the longest thread maybe in the book of records for the WWW. What do you think? :D

[eas11]

OK Mamasue, I'll answer your call :)
How many more registered users are there here???

This thread is a lot of giggles :D

Ellyn

[Sara Emily]

I just couldn't IGNORE all you wonderful people! :) ;)

[katygirl]

count me in as participating :D

[tanastaplo]

I'm registered! (And a thread-killer-in-training, I can assure you!)
Teddy

[food girl]

Oh you novices!

Food girl's way to kill threads:

1. Don't even think about posting until the thread is at least on it's 3rd page.

2. Be sure to re-state something said on page 2 (which you didn't read till later)

3. Mention cadavers, a vulva, um, maybe throw in a dogs anal gland for fun.


He he! I'll be th' killa for sure!

Lisa

[sushibones]

And hood ornaments. Never mind, that one seems to prolong the thread quite extensively.

By the way, did you notice that while I didn't kill the thread, I WAS ignored, except by SusanL who thought I was talking about starting a thread that no one else posted on. Actually, I was talking about adding to a thread and having the discussion continue right past me, like a river around a rock. Sort of like that last post of mine on this thread.

So here I am again, knowing I will not be the one to end this thread. I'll just pretend I don't care. Go ahead, talk amongst yourselves. Sniff. Does anyone feel sorry for me yet? :rolleyes:

[slknight]

Just doing my part in the thread-killing business.:p

[Melman]

I'm afraid to post this....... eeeks! Don't let me kill it!!

C'mon!! Someone...anyone......... (do I win a prize if I'm the thread killer???) :-)

Susan,

OK. I'll talk to you! Your last two posts aroused my curiousity so I just reread the last three pages just to check out your comments and prove that you do matter.;) I have not passed you by. YOU ARE NOTICED AND YOUR POSTS MATTER!!!!

There! Do you feel any better??:p Now it's my turn again to be the thread killer!!

Peggy

[cookinator]

OK Peggy..they've all gone to bed so now I can reveal my true self as the ULTIMATE THREAD KILLER!!!!! Don't bother to answer anyone..I truly don't expect it. :D

[MaryH]

Just lurking, lurking, lurking !!!:D

[Peggy]

Looks like the California Girls are up late competing for the honor!!:D

Peggy

[MaryH]

I guess it'll survive another night (hmmmmmm). We could always start discussing California geography (naw, been there done that and I'm sure no one else ever wants to hear about Fresno anymore!!):cool: :p

[cookinator]

Sooo..how is Fresno anyway????(I have to stay up VERY LATE to keep the skunks out of my petunias)....

[Peggy]

Originally posted by cookinator

Are you serious????:eek: If so, you certainly are a dedicated gardener!!! Up here I have to worry about deer getting into my vegetables and roses.

I hear Fresno is lovely this time of year! Why don't you fill us in, Mary?

Peggy

[MaryH]

Well not NEARLY as nice as So. Cal. Hailing from SD originally though, just where in So Cal do you have skunks in your petunias???

And Peggy, I would have to assume that if you have deer you have to be somewhere north (and probably east) of Sacramento. I haven't seen too many deer roaming the streets or yards of our esteemed state capitol. :cool:

[Peggy]

Back to our California geography lesson. Remember 1-5 from the previous thread?? Well, I'm in Redding which is 2 1/2 hours North of Sacramento on I-5. I have spent most of my adult life along one part of I-5, hence my familiarity with it as a landmark!:o

I believe Redding rivals Fresno in regards to CA armpit comments!:D But we do have a Macys now!!!

Peggy

[cookinator]

I'm in south orange county and I have a friendly skunk outside the door as we speak. I can't see him but I sure can SMELL HIM. And in the morning I will probably find the rest of my cute little fuzzy sage plant torn to shreads and all over the driveway..oh did I win yet, you guys gone nightty night??? Is this still the THREAD KILLER thread or are we switching to GARDENing;) Has anyone noticed that I have been gone for a while??? Sniff, ssniff, guess I'll go eat some pretzels til I see Peggy gives up...

[Peggy]

Still here!! I think we have lost Mary though. Just went to get my mending!

Peggy

[cookinator]

Ahh, Peggy, I'm getting verry sleeppyy:o . Goodnight and sleep tight..

[cookinator]

Oh by the way.. are we going to be doing this when everyone returns tomorrow???

[erinyyc]

...as the BB slept, the real killer silently stalks it's prey, ready to pounce at any moment.....

[SusanL]

and Susan, I am so sorry I guess I am the real reason threads die because I can't read~ egads, too much information! Last night's California ladies had too much fun, I'd try to stay awake tonight but being on the east coast, but I would kill this thread.

[Mamasue]

Hood Ornament???? Can we hear this story because I think I missed it the last time:o :o :o

[kimmurphy94]

You guys can all relax now...I'm here and this thread can finally end. I'm the mystery killer that everyone has been waiting for!

By the way - where is Jewel? She is definitely NOT a thread killer, but she usually has something to say???

:D :D :D

[SusieO]

I just think it's funny that we all have the same inferiority complex. We can't ALL be the killer of every thread.

Or could we?

How pathetic is it that I'm curious to know how this one ends? Will it go on forever? Or will one of us earn The Title?

[HRJ]

Time for us East Coast girls to take over.

(How many time zones do we cover on this board, anyway? I think Shirley Eckstein (England) is the farthest east -- who's farther west, Zinnia (Alaska) or Suzy (Hawaii)? Or am I missing somebody?)

Mamasue -- try doing a search for the infamous "body piercings" thread.


Helene


And where is Jewel, anyway? :confused:

[HRJ]

Ooops -- sorry SusieO, we must have been posting at the same time -- I'll take back my "East Coast" comment.

Helene

[SusieO]

No problem, Helene! Until recently, I was an East Coaster, too! Now I'm happy to represent the Central Time Zone! :D

But I guess what they say may be right....."If it feels good then wear it"! :D

[lhall]

Page 2, who made that comment about page2?

The west coast ladies had way too much fun overnight and I logon this morning to post on page 5!!!!

Time to DIE!!!!:D :D :p

Leigh

[MKSquared]

Ack! I just tried replying to Mamasue, but her question was already answered! I didn't think to check on the NEXT page -- this thread is just sooooo wrong.

[MKSquared]

I may not end this one ... but if you'll hop on over to the Great food board, you'll notice a thread of mine about to drop off the first page of the board, unanswered! :( Once it slips to the second page, it's gone. :D :D :D

[MKSquared]

Ahem. Lhall ... thanks for noticing it. :) Cute bump -- you made me laugh!

[HRJ]

Well, I've got a post that disappeared to page 2 on Great Food, with that lonely little "0" in the response column.

True, it was about an even taking place in Boston, but someone could at least have said they had no interest in my boring event! :rolleyes: (Oh yeah -- I'm real secure!)

I'm home sick today -- lots of time to play on the BB -- who knows how many uninspired threads I might launch?

Helene

[Missi]

Wow I'm loving this thread. I too wonder how long it will go on. How pathetic are we? :) :D

[sushibones]

Peggy

What an ungrateful wretch I was to go to bed early, and not even be able to thank you for sending me my own personal message. You like me, you really like me. I'll try not to be so obnoxious when we get together in Seattle. I'm looking forward to meeting you and sharing insecurities. :p

Sorry I missed the California geography discussion. I could have added all kinds of interesting information about how southern Idaho ignores northern Idaho, and as a consequence will not improve the only road connecting them (frequently called the goat trail). That would surely have killed the thread.

[Peggy]

Good morning Susan (and everyone)! West Coast checking in! I believe the California geography lesson is on a thread entitled something like "California Dreamin". I never knew there was a division in Idaho. A "goat trail" ?? Interesting topic for discussion over margaritas in Seattle!:p

cookinator - I like your new avatar! The lips are very attractive though I will miss you fish! How did your petunias and sage plant do against the skunk??

Peggy

[cookinator]

Hi Everyone! You can all rest now. I'm back to officially do my job. You know, offend all and send you all running for the hills...

Peggy, you are a true champ. I couldnot stay up another moment, however you never came back from your mending?? What are you mending? Maybe I can help??Oh, the lips are because someone else took the fish, which is cool with me. Besides I needed a HOOD ORNAMENT!!!!( And that is as close as I get).

Hey..WHERE's GAIL???

HEY!!! I don't ignore you!!! Not that I consider myself the representative for southern Idaho (well, I guess for the purposes of this board I am). And since I am such a newbie to the state anyways, I didn't know about the goat trail. Is that the road up through McCall? (see....I don't even know!)

Suzy

[sushibones]

Peggy—

Good Morning to you too. :) Actually, almost anything would be interesting over margueritas in Seattle. I don't usually drink, but I do like a good marguerita—especially the salt part.


Suzy—

You're right—you don't ignore me. We few Idahoans have to stick together. Of course, we are both transplants from somewhere else, but I have been here almost long enough (15 yrs) to actually think I am from Idaho (however, for native Idahoans, not nearly long enough). US hwy 95 and hwy 55 (can't remember if that one is state or US) are both twisty turny little two-lane highways that are frequently difficult to drive on. Beautiful scenery, though, especially where they follow the river. 55 is the one that goes through McCall; coming south 55 and 95 split at New Meadows, so you have your choice of which bad road to drive on.

As for the north-south thing, Lewiston is fond of saying it was the first state capital until those rascally people in the south stole it. And at one time the legislature tried to stop funding for Lewis-Clark State college here because, after all, University of Idaho was just 30 miles up the road, and what did we need with 2 colleges so close together? Ignoring the multiple colleges in boise and southern Idaho.

It's kind of difficult for me to be the northerner here since I was born in Houston and grew up in virginia, and feel deeply southern in my roots (see previous threads involving cooking with bacon grease and eating corn pone and how fried chicken is comfort food and rice is better than potatoes).

Have I killed this thread yet? :p

[donleyk]

Nope, not dead yet. I liked the little Idaho trivia, you just never know what may be asked on Jeopardy!

[gertdog]

Adding my post per Mamasue's suggestion of all registered users posting at least once!

This thread is very funny!

Don't y'all dare let this thread die now. :D

[clairea]

I've been holding out, sure that whenever I post this thread surely will die, but I'm feeling brave . . .

please, someone post after me

[kimmurphy94]

Still wondering where Jewel is...

This thread is too funny. We are a bunch of nerds, aren't we?

I wonder who will kill this thread? Will it be me? Maybe so, it is Friday afternoon, after all and the boards are slow on the weekends! Maybe the thread will slip into the oblivion of page 2 and be gone forever!

[sushibones]

True, but I seem to be one of the few people who actually visits the boards at home so I'll be here, checking to see what new flights of trivia and totally unrelated thoughts we can scrounge up to keep this thread going.

Well - HRJ mentioned time zones - am here right now (but is awfully late over here and ought to be in bed but whatthehelll.)Am wondering - will THIS be the last??????????

[Molli526]

Hi all-

I can't let Shirley be the thread killer.

It is snowing like a banshee here in Michigan. Cannot believe it. My mom, who was an elementary school teacher, said it can snow in months with an "R". But still, it is spring and I am ready!

[SusanL]

I can't let my buddy kill this thread, I would feel so guilty ;) Especially in a snow storm!!

[Mary Ann]

I'll do my part.

......back to lurking.

[Little Bit]

Well, it seems logical to me that if we can't keep this thread on topic, we ought to just let it die. :D

Jewel, you make me laugh! I was cracking up when I read your post.

[kima]

Well we all know that the small Canadian contingent are the real killers here- we have a border to keep out you detectives!. And no one commented on my photo either... but I feel very inferior next to all you beauties... so that's it, thread over, hasta la vista baby!:D

[sueandwill]

Maureen,

As a well established regular on the BB, I can't let you be the one to kill the thread. Let me take the hit for the Canadian contingent!:D :D
since I'm a relative newbie it won't matter as much!

Cheers

Sue

[MaryH]

Gail, what can we say, I guess we are all rendered speechless in the presence of a great goddess. (Could that be? hmmmmmm, chuckle, chuckle):D

[cookinator]

Ahh California Girls on Duty.:D

[Missi]

He He, count this California girl in! :D

[cookinator]

Where's Peggy tonight??

[Missi]

Peggy must be out doing something exciting on a Friday night rather than keeping a dying thread alive!!!!!!

[slknight]

Well here I am on the East Coast on a Friday night with nothing more exciting to do than add to this thread. Woo-hoo!:o

Actually, I'm waiting for my dog to come inside and my cookies to come out of the oven, so we can go to bed. (DH is out-of-town).

Good night!

[Missi]

Warm cookies sound yummy. Maybe I should go make some cookies instead!!!!!!! ;)

[kima]

What kind of cookies did you make???
Big Friday night here! CBC is showing the funeral procession for the Queen Mum- not to be disrespectful but it is boring!!!!

[erinyyc]

It says this is the last page so have we been technically killed off?? Well I'll take the hit, I already killed one of HRJ's threads today:rolleyes: :eek:

Erin :D

[cookinator]

:p Goodnite Gracie.

[Beth]

Jewel, no toke -- you have to get a patch or gum! :D

I can kill this thread with two words -- NEW HOUSE. Everytime I've said anything about the possibility, the thread has died.

[erinyyc]

Missi...are the cookies ready yet? My address is......heehee

Erin:D

[cookinator]

Hey, I thought I won! Where did Beth come from??? Pass those cookies pleeezzz

[SusanL]

getting ready to take the hit because weekends are slow! Oh gosh, now I am getting paranoid, what if I really am Typhoid Lisa? Eegads!!

[HRJ]

Wow, Susan -- thought I'd be the first to check in early on a Saturday morning. Well, Good Morning!

Helene

[SusanL]

someone has to get up to make the coffee ;)

Ok. I'll work on the pancakes.:)

[Gina O]

The oven is warmed up, putting the breakfast casserole in the oven now and making a fruit salad while I have a cup of tea.

Good morning all!!!! Gina

Hey, I was on page 1! See, I really am invisible! :D Haven't been back much -- in part because we have been trying to figure out whether we would be moving or not and part because I didn't really want to kill the thread. Looks like we really are moving now, so I'll be making coffee, cleaning and packing. Looks like breakfast will be a bowl of Kashi. At least if I do kill the thread, I can go sulk on a new front porch. :D

[sushibones]

You guys are way too perky for a Saturday morning. I'm still on my first cup of coffee, and waiting for my vision to clear. Pancakes? Breakfast casseroles? I think I'll have a second cup of coffee for breakfast. :p

[Peggy]

Good morning Susan! How's that coffee???:p

Peggy

[sushibones]

Good morning, Peggy. I got so involved reading the board, I haven't quite gotten back for the 2nd cup. I was just sitting here thinking, Hmmm, that cup's empty.

Idaho's idea of coffee is brown water, so we make California coffee. Rich and strong enough to stand up to sugar and cream. I remember when we went to Disneyland quite a few years back, and sitting in the hotel restaurant an extra half an hour just to drink the coffee because it tasted so good.

Sorry, gotta go and get some right now. :D

HAHAHAH!! LOL....Susan, I couldn't agree more. I can't believe with all the transplants here (in Boise, at least) from California, Salt Lake, Seattle, Arizona, Denver, etc that the coffee here is so bad. There's an espresso place in Boise called Moxie Java which all the locals think is so great. Blech! WEAK brown water. In fact, the food here at most restaurants is not all that great either. Can you tell I still have that uppity big-city attitude? No wonder I don't have any friends here!

Suzy

[sushibones]

Brown water is by definition weak. When they pour the coffee into your cup and you can see straight through the stream, something is terribly terribly wrong. You can't add sugar or cream because then you have sweet watery warm milk.

You definitely cannot see through my coffee when I pour it, and it tends to be more black than brown. But I'm not a coffee snob—I'm perfectly happy with Costco's Columbian coffee. I've had lattes on occasion, but I can never remember what the combinations are, so I'm pretty backwoods hick there.

And, as for food, it's not so much that the food is bad, but that there is very little diversity. Very few places to go that the menu is so interesting that you can try something new. Going back to Houston, or going to Seattle, gives me an opportunity to drool over a new menu (not so good for the patrons following) and spend way too much time trying to decide which new taste treat to tickle my taste buds with.

Now for a 3rd cup of coffee. Or the bathroom. Hmmm—bathroom, coffee, bathroom, coffee. What to do? :D Whoops—bathroom. See you later.

[Peggy]

Personally, I don't drink the stuff (coffee that is!) but my DH says I make great coffee. In fact he just mentioned that again this morning!:p I'm one of those weird people that drinks Diet Coke for breakfast. I just need those bubbles in my stomach, along with the caffeine, to get the engines rolling in the morning. I'm on my second cup! Any other closet morning Diet Coke drinkers out there?

Peggy

[traci june]

But I had to add to this thread, just to see if I was really the killer I deep down know I am.

After all, I've been struck with some nasty plague and I'm sure to infect everyone!!:eek:

Traci

[sushibones]

No way! We wouldn't want to do that to a relative newbie. Even if you don't drink coffee. :D

[traci june]

Aw!! That's too sweet!!

Thanks!:D

[sushibones]

Wooo Woooo

Just pushed this thread to page 4 (I show 50 posts per page), and moved myself to the bottom of page 3 of the top 30 posters.

It wasn't very long ago that I was posting on every thread I could find just to hit 400 posts and move up from page 5.

Talk about pathetic!!!

Uh-oh. You're gaining on me. Stay back!:p

I'm trying to make it to page 2. Right now I'm somewhere in the middle of page 3, I think.

[sushibones]

You're almost in the top third of page 3, and I'm the last one on page 3. Watch out, cause I'm on a roll (Kaiser? Parkerhouse?). Posting, more posting, must not stop until ......sorry, got a little carried away there. :p

Maybe we could just duke it out in Seattle. :rolleyes:

[dcornelius]

It would appear that Az has been poorly represented on this thread. Come on girls! Where is every one!? A girl leaves the BB for a couple a days to work a couple a laborious 12 hour shifts and what happens the rest of the world takes over!!! Have I seen anyone else from AZ on this thread at all? Goodness! That's ok... let me have it, I'm ready, this thread is a DNR, advance directives signed and all so go ahead and let it die I'm used to it....

[MaryH]

OK I have to ask what's a DNR???

I know what DOA is. (Figured a 12 hour shift was related to the medical profession but now I'm thinking business - advanced directives?? or is that a medical term too?)

Oh, oh, wait a minute as I write this I'm thinking "do not revive". Duh..

[MKSquared]

I'm guessing that this thread is gonna make it until everyone's all together in Seattle ... it will slowly dissolve onto page 2 where it will be forgotten. Of course, the final poster would be someone not in Seattle at the time ...

[sushibones]

Sounds reasonable, but if this thread is going to go on until Seattle, it'll be on page 20 or page 200 before it dies. Let's see — 157 posts in 5 days is an average of 31 posts a day times 24 days in April, 31 days in May, 21 days in June (we'll probably still be posting as we walk out the door) is 31 times 76, is 6, is 7, is 18 carry the 1, is 21 plus 1, is 2356 plus the 158 already posted (including this one) is a grand total of 2514 posts. Of course, that's only if we don't become more frenzied the longer this thread gets.

Well, that, indeed, appears to be happening. 12 posts on the 1st, 17 on the 2nd, 22 on the 3rd, 35 on the 4th, 49 on the 5th, and 22 today (your dates may vary depending on time zone). We seem to be falling behind today, but the night is still young, and it is a Saturday. And tonight we have an extra hour to post—you will remember to set those clocks back, won't you? Where are all those California girls?

Theoretically we should be able to take the increasing numbers and translate them into some kind of mathematical formula that would give a rough projection of the semi-geometric progression of the numbers with an approximate total for June 21 when we'll all be drinking margueritas at Anthony's and giggling far too loudly to care about this thread anymore.

Have I killed this thread yet? Can you tell I really don't want to do the dishes, either in the dishwasher, with soapy water, or under running water? Can you tell I really, really need to get a life?

[boisewinesnob]

Actually, we have an hour less....remember, fall back, spring ahead!
Just don't want you to be late for anything!!!

[sushibones]

Thanks, Suzy. This afternoon I was thinking we lost an hour, but I must have sprung back instead forward. I think all those numbers made my brain hurt.:p

And I could have sworn I said to myself, spring forward, fall back, but....please refer to previous post on creeping brain farts. and it's not even 9 pm yet. gotta go to bed so I can try to squeeze in the extra hour that's not there. now I'm not even making sense to me. :rolleyes:

OK, someone needs to take over the night shift, or promise to be here bright and early tomorrow morning. ;)

[MaryH]

I'm baaaack. Yup, this California girl really has nothing to do ........ and the hour change hasn't even kicked in yet here.

[MKSquared]

Susan/sushibones ... I LOVE the way you think. :)

[SusanL]

Peggy, it's decaf coffee till 7:00, then bring on my one and only diet coke! Talk about weird...it should kill this thread once and for all!!

Yup, DNR = Do Not Resuscitate. I'm married to a nurse, so dcornelius' post sounded like normal conversation to me! :D

So, what else is there to do put log on and KILL THIS THREAD :D

Oh, no, Ellyn, that would be far too easy.

Hello Susan, or should I say "Susans"!!

SusanL - Only one diet Coke??!!!:eek: It takes atleast two to get me moving in the morning. Then one at lunch. No caffeine after 1pm for me or you would have to pry me off the ceiling at night. I just got home from work and I'm on #2. Sure did miss that extra hour of sleep this morning, especially since we didn't get home until after midnight last night. Zzzzzzzzz!

Peggy

[Mamasue]

I have been away this weekend and was wondering if this thread was still living. And it is!!! :D

[maizeyoats]

Ellyn,
It is not too cold to do yard work in Massachusetts. I spent 3 days doing it this week. I came in yesterday when the snow flurries began here in western Ma.
Everything is aching me but I'm happy to have gotten something done. Now I can spend the rest of the day relaxing on this silly thread.
What I ought to be doing is learning how to use the computer. I don't even know how to highlight anything.


:confused:It's too cold to get out and do yard work here in MA, just went out thinking I'd clean a flower bed and the earth is frozen!!

[MKSquared]

Susan/Sushibones -- I love your mathematical musings! I missed the brain farts! :)

[Little Bit]

Car in Ditch,

[MaryH]

I'm not sure about the car in the ditch but I was thinking there are about four topics which would cause this thread to NEVER die - coffee & cheesecake and photos & pregancies.

[Little Bit]

Driver in tree,

[sushibones]

Those topics are really too easy. We've been keeping this one going on everything except really interesting topics. Geometrical progressions? Car in Ditch? Idaho trivia? Now those are challenging topics to keep this thread going.

Mary Kate — glad the math didn't bore the pants off you. I like playing with numbers and statistics. I can still use algebraic formulas to solve problems. The brain farts seem to be sprinkled liberally thoughout my posts. Hmmm, spring forward, fall back—which way do I turn the clock and do I lose or gain an hour? I dunno.

Good morning, Peggy. Missed you last night to carry this thread into the wee hours. Hope you had a swell time. Glad to see you back this morning.

OK, Little Bit, I'll post this so you can add the next line.

[Little Bit]

The Moon was Full,

[Beth]

I think this thread will die when the north thaws and you all go out to your gardens or other summer activities. Down here, we are thawed, have replanted the entire back yard, one front flower bed, have tomatoes and peppers blooming, pears setting on the tree, and our first brood of baby bluebirds already hatched -- probably flying out of the nest in about a week.

Or will this turn into the garden thread?????

[Little Bit]

And So Was He

[Beth]

BTW, I tried my best to kill it -- I mentioned the new house TWICE!!!! Looks like we got it and will be putting our house on the market -- gulp -- this week?

Ah....no fear Beth! You can handle it. :) I have some good news but I can't tell everyone right now until its down on paper (don't want my luck to run out). So, looks like this thread will be continuing until you all can hear the news. :D

[SusanL]

happy house sales, I repeat that I am the Queen of Dead Threads, so my bad luck transforms into your GOOD LUCK! Gee Peggy how was that diet Coke????

The diet Coke was absolutely awesome and quite necessary this morning because I only got about 5.5 hours of sleep last night!! Is this thread finally dying out??? Will my diet Coke comment be the last one?????;)

Peggy

[MKSquared]

Little Bit!!! Where did you get your jumping-rope SHEEP?!! I LOVE him!

[sushibones]

It appears this thread is not dead yet, but everyone has ruined my theory of geometric progression, unless we are now working backwards. Maybe we could devise an oscillating progression. What do y'all think?

[Peggy]

Geometric progression??? Oscillating progression??? :confused: Susan, I was a science major but I'm think I'm lost!!!

A tired California Girl checking in to keep this thread alive!;) Sorry I haven't been here the last two nights... my social calendar required me to be elsewhere. Where is everyone... MaryH?? cookinator??? Hello!!

Peggy

[MaryH]

Peggy,

I was wondering if you'd be around tonight. No diet coke for you!
Any deer lately?

[sushibones]

Hey, Peggy, just cause you were gone a couple of nights doesn't mean you can just post and be done. You have to go back and read all my excruciatingly boring posts that I made while holding the fort down. All those progressions will be simply (albeit boringly) explained.

Oh, well, I think the thread's safe for the night. Back to the old grind tomorrow.

Nighty-night.

:D

[Peggy]

Susan - Please forgive!! I will have to scroll through the PAGES on this thread to get myself up to date. Aren't you up rather late?

Mary - Great to hear from you again. There had better not be any deer out tonight. We took a chance today and planted our vegetable garden. It is probably too early because we can have frosts through May, but I had a bad case of spring fever and needed to get in the dirt, so to speak! Those deer better not be munching on my vegetables and herbs right now! So how are things in Fresno?

Peggy

[MaryH]

Well except for the fact that it goes from 85 degrees one day to 45 the next (and no one can decide if they should wear spring or winter clothes) not much. And this is actually the BEST time of year here. We always joke that we get two days of spring. Then it goes straight to summer at +85.

And although I know in my head that its really only about 10:00 p.m. the clock is telling me its 11:00, so off to bed I go. With coffee in the morning. Keesher pari (good night in Armenian.)

:cool: :D :o

[Peggy]

Good night Mary! Perhaps I will see you here again tomorrow.;) California will keep this thread alive!!!

Peggy

[Peggy]

OMG!!! I think I am the one that has finally killed it!!!:eek:

Just call me,

Peggy the "Plague"

[SusanL]

I couldn't give you the satisfaction of having that notoriety!! Good Morning, what time do you crack open "the elixir of the gods"? my name for Diet Coke;)

[SusieO]

Good morning!

You know, I think there's something about diet Coke that just makes you feel good. Even beyond the awakening powers of caffeine. I always get a buzz off of the stuff.

I'm excited, and a little nervous, because I start a new job today after eight months of unemployment. It's been a long time since I sat in an office all day. I hope I remember how to do it! ;)

[lhall]

SusieO,

Good luck at your new job!

Y'all had way too much fun over the weekend!

Leigh

[Beth]

SusieO, hope the new job is great. If you have a hard time sitting at work, well, at least the weather won't be beckoning you outside today! :D Have a great day, try to stay dry.

Aggie 94 -- similar thoughts coming your way in case you are checking in here.

[dcornelius]

SusiO was right, DNR= do not resusitate. Advance directives are an individuals wishes in writing stating what they want done in case they are later unable to make those wishes known verbally. (A very good idea for everyone I might add.) I too am a nurse and yes that is typical "nurse speak" along with all the gross jokes about phlegm and blood and guts at the lunch table in the break room. My husband teases me all the time that I speak a whole different language than he. He understands most of what I say now a days but when we first go married he had to ask a lot of questions.... Sorry about taking so long to answer.I was off to another one of my beloved 12 hour shifts. Three of those in a row is a tough thing to do in a dementia unit! Sure wish I could go to Seattle! That is gonna be an incredible time I am sure!

This morning the "elixir of the Gods" (I love that name!!!) was opened at 7am PST. I am currently on #2 and trying to talk myself into exercising. :p Good Morning to all the keepers of this thread!

Peggy

[cookinator]

Good Morning Y'all, I have my computer back now that everyone is gone. We could start a NURSE thread, seeing how many nurse types are here. I am a nurse in hiding; left it behind when I had kids and the drs where throwing tables and scalpels at us!!! I'd much rather turn this into a gardening thread..the birds are chirping madly this morning. I must go OUTSIDE.
Hi Peggy, we missed you the other day. It looked like this thread was a goner..well this outta do it...

[donleyk]

I can't add to a nurse thread but I could to a garden one. We had to mow grass yesterday. I am glad that we did since we ended up getting rain today. I bet I could actually watch it grow!

[dcornelius]

I don't know to many nurses these days that don't sit around and mostly complain about the "state of nursing" these days. It's not what it should be so I'd rather go with a gardening thread! Any suggestions out there for beautifying desert waste land? Thats what my back yard looks like right now! We are trying to kill off all the grass so we can "rock it in" and plant a raised garden. I have wnderful plans but just don't know exactly how to start! See, I told you we needed more users from AZ on this thread! I have our supper club at my house this weekend for the first time and my back yard looks like doo-doo! Help! Quick fixes any one?

[cookinator]

Boy I thought I was typhoid Lisa for a minute there. How bout a big roll of nice pretty green indoor/ outdoor carpeting from Home Depot.?? Covers up the dirt and add a few pots full of flowers and whalla!! instant jungle:rolleyes: . Oh well I tried. Hey later you can roll it up and take it camping, if you camp. Arizona gardening can be beautiful..look under southwest gardening or for native water wise type gardens.

[MKSquared]

Now that this has become the catch-all ... I want that jump-roping sheep. I REALLY want him. But I don't want to lose my current avatar, so I'm scared to change. (I don't remember where I originally got this sheep.) SO ... if I change my custom avatar, can I still get back to this sheep?

[Little Bit]

I've never had any success saving an animated icon to my own computer disk, but if you figure out how, you could save a copy of the one you have now, just for future reference. You might want to e-mail Jennifer (@CL) to see if she has any suggestions. She's usually very helpful. :)

BTW, you might browse the plaudersmilies site just to see if it's there too.

[Hoosier65]

Can't you just re-enter your former avitars URL when you want it back? Or am I missing something. (That is if you can remember where you got it)

[ISAIAH30_18]

oh no!!! I've killed the chocolate binge thread!!!!!!:(

[SusanL]

I don't recognize anyone once you change your avatar. Am I the only one here who forgets the new avatars? Sandy M is lost now that she has a new avatar.., I don't want to hurt other's feelings but I can't' quickly distinguish new avatars. Maybe I killed this thread, finally!! Someone has to do it. I guess it has to be me...

[sushibones]

Dying..... Dying....... Dying........... dying.................

[MaryH]

Gasp, gasp, gasp. Where oh where is a diet coke when you need one?

[Peggy]

Here's a non-diet Coke shot of caffeine to keep the thread going!;) I'll be back in the morning with the real thing!!

Peggy

P.S. Page #8... not bad!

[SusanL]

it can't die, it can't die...

[Mamasue]

Good Morning! A little drizzle here this a.m. Sipping on my decaf coffee watching the Queen Mother's funeral.

[SusieO]

Good morning! Thanks for the good wishes. I had a great day!

I don't want to encourage a nurse thread, but I did think of this story DH tells about his mom who is a nurse anaesthetist (sp?). It's easier to abbreviate: she's a CRNA. They sat down to eat spaghetti one night, and she told them it reminded her of the intestinal surgery she had worked on that day. And proceeded to tell them about it. No one else finished that meal, but she was completely unfazed.

[donleyk]

Hmmmm... Painfully close to going to page 2, can't have that!

Just enjoyed 2 oatmeal muffins from the CL Complete cookbook. I added dried mixed berries instead of the raisins and left out the cinnamon. Very good. Hearty texture.

[MaryH]

No decaf here. Needs to be the real thing. I did however actually get out this morning and put in my 2 mile run before the sun came up. Good morning Peggy.

[dcornelius]

I still have my three mile walk in front of me but I have had my caffeine already in the form of full caff coffee with nonfat irish cream creamer in it.
SusieO nurses can be SO disgusting cant we! :D

[Peggy]

Good Morning all of you regulars! I am here with #1 diet Coke in hand. Just did the morning car pool and had a TB test for work. You exercisers have inspired me to hit the nordic track before I go to work! I'll check in later.

Peggy

[sushibones]

good morning, Peggy

Just finishing my 3rd cup of coffee this morning (it was especially good this morning, and it's drizzly and cool here after yesterday's wonderful sunshiny day). I'm having people over for bridge on Wednesday, so yesterday turned into spring cleaning, and I wasn't on the board much.

I posted a message to you over on the Rajas Poblanos thread about corn tortillas. Happy to explain further if not clear.

Back to the cleaning (amazing how my cleaning seems to create bigger messes than the one I started with). :p

[Peggy]

Susan,

I just checked the other thread. Thanks for the tips on resurrecting frozen corn tortillas. I was afraid to wet them last night, but next time I will know!!

It's cool and rainy here also. Quite a disappointment after our beautiful weather this past weekend.:(

Good luck on your cleaning!

Peggy

Yeah, but if you don't remember where it came from in the first place ... .

I think if you forgot where it came from but you'd saved it to a disk that Jennifer could help you get it back on CL's files, but I could be wrong. (I seem to remember that she helped some people modify the avatars they'd found, but don't remember exactly what changes were made.)

I know what you mean about the avatars. I notice the avatar before I notice the user name. Recently I was looking at a thread and realized Emilycat was back and posting with us as soon as I saw her angel avatar.

There are some Avatars that always make me smile. I don't think I would recognize any of these people if they changed their Avartar.
dcornelius - I love the silly smiley
KValley - it is such a happy little smiley
lisas3575 - love the Who-Me? and the title
Lynn B - Very cute heart
Ralph - This is how I picture you in the kitchen whipping up something with great vigor
BosunsWife - Yup, you are a Jimmy Buffet Parrot Head
Little Bit - That elephant is tooo cute
Grace - blah blah blah blah....!! Can't say much more than that
MKSquared - Baahhhhhh

I'm sure there are more, but these are the ones I can think of right now.

I find people by their avatars and when someone changes their's it takes me a while to register the change in my brain so I can start knowing its them. (is that what is known as a brain cloud?) I know, all I have to do is read the name right! And I do this but I am such a visual person! I have considered changing my avatar but in light of the insecurities we have all shown here on this thread I think I will keep my little insane smilie... it's so me! And by the way- RobinC- in the words of one of my favorite Pooh animals "Thanks for noticing me"... Eore :o

Isn't that the truth! We are getting our house ready to put on the market, so the cleaning and such is more intense than usual. We looked at some other houses today, and they looked so perfect, then I came home to my work in progress. :( DS2 has soccer practice today, so won't make much progress this afternoon. :( :(

I think I'll go turn the coffee maker back on -- perhaps some caffiene will help. Gulp.

[Beth]

I notice my flag wasn't on the list above -- does this mean I can change it? I think I'm ready for something else. Any ideas?

I love that avatar! It shows your spirit and sence of humor! What would the BB be without Bart's butt!?
Beth-I don't mean to slight you but maybe the ones people notice the most are the ones that are unique.
You know, I still get confuses sometimes cause to me littlebit is a tiny kitty.

Hey, somebody noticed me! :)
I like the kitty, but seem unable to resist switching to the elephant from time to time, though I go usually go back to the kitty. Something about dancing pink elephants gets me every time. Heh, heh, heh.

My total favorites were 1) a little penguin that walked (The file was too big, and I didn't know how to modify that sort of thing back then.)

2) a cute little bunny in a Christmas wreath, but he's gone too.

Wish I'd known how to save these things to disk back then. :(

What I'd really love is to get the picture I have of MY cat set as my avatar, since he's MY PRECIOUS kitty and I took the photo years ago when he was just a baby. (everybody say it together now: Awww!) :D

[dcornelius]

AWWWWWW!

[SusanL]

group hug and dcornelius, you are not insane.
I thought it was just me not recognizing people when they changed their avatars, I mean how hard is it to read the person's name? Hello! Jewel, always love your avatars, but I miss the hand grabbing, it "cracked" me up! ;)

This latest discussion of avatars is the exact reason I have not, and more than likely won't, change my avatar! I lurk A LOT and (compared to a lot of people on this BB) post very little. I'm afraid I would be lost forever in the minds of many of you if I changed it (or is that my insecurity I am taping into. Then again the subject of this whole thread seems to be insecurity. At least I'm in good company ;) )

I guess I'm one of the only few who actually pays attention to the names under the avatars........:rolleyes: :p

Hmmmmm... It appears that this thread may be losing it's momentum. Only one post in a twelve hours period. Too bad, because I have had a lot of fun with it. Thanks Lisa, for starting it! May "Typhoid Lisa" R.I.P.

OUCH! :eek:

Wow, SandyM, you avatar moves. I think this is the first time I've seen that happen since you changed it.

Jewel, on my DSL connection at home "bart" can surely move. He must have had too much caffine...:D

I too recoginze people by avatars and it takes me a while to register changes as well. I 'remember' where I stopped reading a tread by scrolling and just looking briefly at avatars.

I just don't have the patience to deal with searching the net for graphics (or really the time when I'm at work)..

Me too! Plus, it's so confusing to me when someone else comes aboard with the exact same avatar as someone else. I know that someone has the same dog face as Blue Moose, and I'm always thinking it's her posting when it's not.

Personally I like the change in avitars. Same ole same ole is boring to me. Of course I'm that way in a lot of things. I like to change the furniture around too. It makes life more interesting IMO. :D

I know the flag isn't unique, but I'm almost the only one who still uses it -- and I just don't have the time and patience to search. I don't think I ever got an imported one to work, and now those links are dead on another computer. Well, maybe once I am packed and moved into the new house I will get a new avatar to go with it.

Back to the coffee maker -- another theme. :D

BTW, while my milk is steaming, this thread is not just about insecurity -- for me, I am not doing a lot of cooking, and no more gardening riht now, so it's just a way to stay connected and not feel guilty for not caring about or taking the time to cook more right now. So. for now.....

Hehe...I am with you. I get bored very easy also. My problem is changing to different bedspreads. It drives my DH crazy!

[Beth]

I like seeing different avatars too (although it is sometimes like seeing an old friend with a radically new hair style and color -- certain ones are so tied up with identities that it takes a little getting used to). For myself, I just don't know how you folks find them all. But thanks for keeping us entertained.

[Hoosier65]

*LOL* it sometimes takes my DH a week to notice I have changed things around. He 's either too tired to notice, has his mind on other things or he's just used to things changing and does't think it's decessary to mention it any more! He's great in that he doesn't care what I do in the house or yard for that matter. If it was up to him all the walls would be white and there would be nothing on the walls. Boriiiiiiing!

O.K, I'll bite. Maybe I'll kill this thread after all. Even changed my avatar within the last month.;)

A whole 5 hours between posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:
