[Maximilianus]

And I still wonder
Why heaven has died.
The skies are all falling.
I’m breathing but why?
In silence I hold on
To you and I.

[Beautifull]

After 36 years of mistakes and solitude, nothing else can be expected. I appreciate your concern though, Beaut, and I felt the hug http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs6/i/2005/046/5/9/Comfort_Emoticon_by_adamguest1985.gif

[papayahed]

Opening day.

[Buh4Bee]

It's Friday and I am nuts for the freedom of the weekend. Or is that not random, but a thought shared among the collective conscious?

[Beautifull]

Hate noisy neighbors and noisy brothers...ugh.

[Pensive]

it's difficult not to get annoyed at a Psychological patient

[Tournesol]

I get nauseous when I eat, and I get nauseous when I don't eat...*sigh* I love that I'm pregnant, but I wish that I wasn't nauseous all the time!

[Tournesol]

Coconut Juice! :)



congratulations, Tournesol! my best wishes are with you and the little one :)

Thank you Pensive. I've been away from the forum for so long...I hope to rectify that from now on. I never did like that word much...'rectify'...makes me think of an anatomical part.

[Beautifull]

Man...my laptop's charger's messing up...maybe it's time to get a new charger...

[Maximilianus]

:lol: :smilielol5: I keep looking at this, waiting for the wolf to get him....
The wolf already caught the last of the poor morons, and now is running desperately hungry trying to get another, only to find out there's no other yellow moron to eat

:rolleyes:

I love that wolf! So....fantasy-ish! :D That's really not a word....

[Maximilianus]

If okayish managed to become a word, then fantasy-ish may manage to become a word as well. These days the "ish" suffix is becoming quite popular :)

[Pensive]

B for the Butcher who slaughtered the sheep


Thank you Pensive. I've been away from the forum for so long...I hope to rectify that from now on. I never did like that word much...'rectify'...makes me think of an anatomical part.
Haha
Well, btw I saw your photoalbum and will have to say absolutely loved all your wedding photos! :)

[Beautifull]

Well....laptop charger is really acting up....

[faithosaurus]

Did we even land on the moon...?

[DocHeart]

I'd be very happy if I could remember where I last hid my whip.

[Bluehound]

Dressing as a pirate and drinking loads of ale seemed like a good idea yesterday, but hangovers are not conducive to creative flow..... would more beer fix it?

[Buh4Bee]

Yes, it probably would.

[papayahed]

There should be a better way to put on nail polish.

[Beautifull]

Why is the moon so romantic to some? it's weird....

[Scheherazade]

Things do not necessarily get better...

[Maximilianus]

Why is the moon so romantic to some? it's weird....
Because it represents the unreachable, which some claim to have reached, which others have chosen to keep hoping to reach. Of course, these beliefs may be either correct or incorrect.

[Maximilianus]

The bone in the dog's snout.
The snout with the fewer teeth.
The teeth which, though few, come out.

[Tournesol]

two words: acid reflux

[MystyrMystyry]

Go-cart racing is FUN!

Who would have thought that anything based on a lawnmower could be so exhilarating!?

Damn I had a good day today!

[papayahed]

turnaround bright eyes

[Tournesol]

Go-cart racing is FUN!

Who would have thought that anything based on a lawnmower could be so exhilarating!?

Damn I had a good day today!

I'm so happy for you!

I made spaghetti and meat balls for dinner, cause I was feeling to eat it, but I threw it all up soon after...*sigh* can you imagine some people have 10 children! How do they go through all those pregnancies?!

:puke:The first trimester will be over soon....the first trimester will be over soon...the first trimester will be over soon...:ack2:

[jmnixon95]

Too much mental stimulation certainly brings about several degrees of negative effects. Therefore, I will limit how quickly I read books (and also what kinds of books I read) for now, and I have deactivated my Facebook account earlier this evening. Breaks are good.

[Maximilianus]

Won't sleep again.

[Vonny]

Why am I doing this? Gray skies go away... before I lose my mind!

[Brock]

Fresh chillies have turned out to be slightly addictive..

[Buh4Bee]

I have a headache and I don't know why. hahaha!

[Bluehound]

Wish I hadn't eaten all of those chocs yesterday...there must be one left at the bottom, maybe an unloved strawberry or Turkish delight.

[Pensive]

Happiness is an easy come and an even easier go!

[Beautifull]

my butt's numb.

[MystyrMystyry]

So there's no point spanking you because you won't feel it?

Also - it's a blancmangey kind of day today - sometimes it seems hours have passed but I check my watch and it's only a few seconds - and vice versa!

Hopefully tomorrow will be back to normal and hours will take literally hours...

[Brock]

To barbeque, or not to barbeque. That is the question...

[Veho]

To barbeque, or not to barbeque. That is the question...


I live near Manchester and it's far too windy to barbecue! There'd be meat flying about everywhere!

[Scheherazade]

I live near Manchester and it's far too windy to barbecue! There'd be meat flying about everywhere!Windy with a chance of meatballs?

:p

[Veho]

Windy with a chance of meatballs?

:p

:D Exactly!

[Brock]

Ha ha! Yep it certainly has been windy around here. It looks deceptively warm too. However! I had a killer barbeque yesterday! Bacon, seasoned beef burger, apple sausages... all washed down with a fine bottle of Old Crafty Hen. Oh yes! Don't stop me now!

[faithosaurus]

Why is Katy Perry's music so catchy?

[The Comedian]

Have mediums gotten larger?

[Maximilianus]

Some click a thumb and a finger and the have it all figured out. Others try time and time again to scratch no more than a few crumbs off the rocks. This is what one is told to be a fair game, and told to have a purpose, from the cradle and down to the grave.

[Beautifull]

So there's no point spanking you because you won't feel it?



:lol:

[Pensive]

I must learn to celebrate death in order to be nice.

[Nightshade]

I finally made it back!!! :D

[billl]

Glad to see you here.

[Beautifull]

Mmmmmmm! Nuummy!nammy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JuniperWoolf]

I must learn to celebrate death in order to be nice.

This is a strange and intriguing sentence.

[Maryd.]

It's no loss.... One cannot lose what they never had in the first place!

[Scheherazade]

Don't trouble trouble...

[motherhubbard]

I want to do all of the stuff I want to do and none of the stuff I don't want to do.

[Tournesol]

I want to do all of the stuff I want to do and none of the stuff I don't want to do.

Typical trait of a procrastinator. I should know. I'm a procrastinator.

[The Comedian]

*stretch*. . . .*Yawn*. . . .back to work.

[Maryd.]

And once again you had to do it!!!!!

[motherhubbard]

Typical trait of a procrastinator. I should know. I'm a procrastinator.

I meant to respond to this sooner, but I didn't get around to it.

[The Comedian]

Wife: "What are you doing?"

Me: "Posting on LitNet. . . ."

Wife: *playful grin* "About me, I suppose?"

Me: *playful grin* "Of course! It's called 'Ode to My Beautiful Wife #178'"

Wife: "Yeah. That's right." *smiles*

[jmnixon95]

Just changed my avatar/picture because I finally got around to doing it for this forum; I've already been using this one for about a month on the other forums I happen to be a member of.

[The Comedian]

Anything that's self-described as "awesome" or as having an exceptional quantity of "awesomeness" is mostly likely created to enable morons to appear more moronic.

[chipper]

http://theletters.org/uploads/idontgetyou.jpg

i would gladly solve a thousand calculus problems than figure out women.

[Scheherazade]

Anything that's self-described as "awesome" or as having an exceptional quantity of "awesomeness" is mostly likely created to enable morons to appear more moronic.Even though one is truly awesome???

[The Comedian]

True awesomeness needs no announcement.

[Scheherazade]

True awesomeness needs no announcement.Apologies in advance for the poor sound quality:

:D

[JuniperWoolf]

Likewise, any sentence that starts with "I don't mean to be mean, but..." is almost certainly going to be very, very mean.

[deguonis]

I'm a genius.

[Maryd.]

It's dark, it's gory, it's even evil... But I like it. Huahahahaha.

[Beautifull]

I'm going to miss you Lit-Net!

[Maximilianus]

I'm going to miss you Lit-Net!
Are you leaving? :(

[Maximilianus]

Two years and six days. Time is faster everyday.

[Tournesol]

*yawn*...very shleepy lit-netter!

[Scheherazade]

“Skills for Life” literacy tutors are increasingly under pressure to demonstrate learner progression by meeting the requirements of the National Literacy Tests at Level 1 and Level 2. They experience a tension between providing creative ‘learner-centred’ teaching and learning experiences, and the pressure of teaching to the requirements of the tests. As a result the experience of reading for pleasure is in danger of being pushed to the margins of group and individual learner experiences and viewed as time-consuming and inappropriate as a class activity.

[Hurricane]

Tomorrow I'm going to be a senior in college.

Where did the time go?

[Maximilianus]

I suppose it wasn't much. Typical in me.

[Tournesol]

I should really get up off the couch and start getting ready...I'm watching 'Angel Eyes' and litnetting too...that Jim Caviezel!

[Scheherazade]

Tomorrow I'm going to be a senior in college.

Where did the time go?Hey, tomorrow I'll be a senior at a retirement home and still don't know where the time's gone...


And for today's random thought:

Bloom, Petty notes, “...split learning into a ‘spectrum’ of tasks or skills which he called ‘taxonomy’. At the bottom, the skills are relatively undemanding but they get more difficult, more connected and much more useful towards the top.” and “... learning is only complete for a given topic when all the skills in the taxonomy are attained.”

[MystyrMystyry]

Really shouldn't sleep with a notebook next to my softpillow, if I really want to sleep

or

Really shouldn't write with a softpillow next to my notebook, if I really want to write

[Stanislaw]

I wonder why I can't find it within my grasp the goal of slumber :D

[JuniperWoolf]

If anyone's ever heard of Tupelo Honey, Corb Lund or Glass Tiger, you might be interested to know that I got to security guard them today (there are benefits involved in having a dad who is the largest man in town and who is therefore appointed head of security at every local festival). Glass Tiger was cool, very eighties and their drummer wore a superman t-shirt.

[Stanislaw]

Going to an Amon Amarth concert this sunday! I'm really looking forward to it! :party:

[papayahed]

I seriously need a pedicure. I need to stop watching these financial shows so I can go get one.

[Stanislaw]

I hope it rains tomorrow... It would be nice to have slow paced morning!

[Tournesol]

I seriously need a pedicure. I need to stop watching these financial shows so I can go get one.

I seriously need a pedi too! At almost 7 months pregnant, my feet are starting to seem faar away!

[Maximilianus]

I don't think I need a pedicure that badly, but I still may benefit from a massage... and also from a message... anyway, I'm more likely to get the former than the latter http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/scratch_one-s_head.gif

[Stanislaw]

I just finished watching Live and Let Die. James Bond is perhaps the first action hero to ever have run across crocodiles similar in fashion to frogger. bravo, Mr. Bond. Bravo. This one's for you. :cheers2:

[Maximilianus]

The right to fury should be earned, unlike when he got furious because he won't be mayor for another four years once it's been proved that the first four sucked big time.

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

Is there such thing as a random thought? Or, is there such thing as a non-random thought?

[Maximilianus]

I think all thoughts have a source and, usually, an inexistent end.

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

I wasn't looking for an answer. It was just my random thought. This wasn't, though. And neither was that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that.

Is there such thing as a random thought? Or, is there such thing as a non-random thought?

Depends whether one is equipped with a random ponder generator.

Thank you, God, for making me tall.

[papayahed]

Thank you, God, for making me tall.

I always wanted to be tall. Good thing I'm a girl so I can wear heels.

[Maximilianus]

I always wanted to be tall. Good thing I'm a girl so I can wear heels.
There are boys out there wearing heels, believe me :p

[Calidore]

Thank you, God, for making me tall.

I wouldn't mind being a couple inches shorter and having fewer dents in my head from tree branches, pipes, signs, and low ceilings (especially the low ceiling above my current home's first-floor stairs, which has nearly knocked me cold a few times--this house was made by short people for short people).

[Maryd.]

I'll swap you some shortness for some height... Do you know what it's like at the local shopping centre. I mean if you are short and hot looking, one has no problems. But if you are like me... A cross between ET and something that just fell out of tree with a wing sticking out of her head, then no tall fellow (or gal at that matter) even notices you dangling off the second last shelf trying to do a back flip, just to reach a kilo of sugar.

Probably it's a house for hobbits. Maybe Bilbo Baggins used to live there :p

[Maryd.]

Can't beat 'em, may as well join them, right?

[Maximilianus]

We can both join them and set up a cool, cool team! http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/friends.gif

(cute people are weaklings, most of the times, by the way :))

[Maryd.]

Ha! Maybe!

[Maximilianus]

They love to pretend they have it all figured out, and when they realize they've been wrong they just keep making the same mistakes over and over again, because that's what they are good for, and made for.

[Maryd.]

Pretty useless, really. If they just stopped and let someone good into their lives. They may just experience real love. ♥

[Maximilianus]

I'm thinking that we tend to judge others quite harshly, because we think we have a good enough basis to assess their motives, but we know them as much as they know us. We don't know each other really. We know actually little and nothing about each other. Who knows why we do what we do. Maybe all of us are just the best we can. Maybe none of us can walk beyond that thin red line.

[Maryd.]

You may just be right sir. It takes courage to cross that line!

[Idril]

Beagles are awesome. :D

[Maximilianus]

Let's see http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/scratch_one-s_head.gif ... just downloaded a new pack of angry smilies for Messenger. That's awesome too! http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/ireful2.gif

[JuniperWoolf]

I loved Jack Layton, he was so brave and happy. This completely blows.

[Maximilianus]

Why can't everyone evolve, or at least give it a decent try? It's not so difficult and it's pretty convenient!

[Stanislaw]

I loved Jack Layton, he was so brave and happy. This completely blows.

He was a great man, who lived a good life! At least he got to see his party as the official opposition.

[Heathcliff]

This gravity thing... What speed do you have to be going at for it to stop working? I've seen it done...

[Beautifull]

It's never over...

[Pensive]

Rain, rain go away
Please come another day!

It must be pine pollen season in the ATL because my red car is now a yellow car.

[papayahed]

And kudos to Mr Sancharito for reviving this thread.

My thought:
Why is it that when I'm reading a magazine I find it quite delightful and relaxing but when I'm not reading a magazine I have to force myself to do so.

[Sancho]

I know, I know, ain't it cool. Sometimes you just need to spill a random thought.

[iamnobody]

Still waiting for Saturday Night Live to be funny again.

Why do the 'blokes' have their own thread but the ladies don't?

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

Why do the 'blokes' have their own thread but the ladies don't?

You do, but it now lies several pages back. I believe the discovery of instant coffee crystals being served had something to do with loss of patrons.

[iamnobody]

Ha. The thread is here.
http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19546

It isn't as active as the bloke's thread. It could use a revival.

[Veho]

Lol, thanks Gilliat. I found it. What would have to be discovered for the blokes' thread to lose posters, I wonder.

iamnobody, I agree, someone should revive it. I nominate you if you're female that is. The last topic of conversation was about clothes so I'm out of my depth there.

[cacian]

hum..who says gravity ever existed?:wink5:

anyone else here does not like chocolate?

This is clearly a case of "Plants Gone Wild" in the ATL. The pollen count is 9369 ppm today.

Ah-Choo!

Looks like I’m going to need to rethink my investment strategy since the Mega-Millions Jackpot didn’t pay off for me yesterday. I really thought I’d win this time.

[BookBeauty]

Inventions are merely fragments of ideas that have accumulated over a long period of time, built upon with the bricks of experiences, observations, and fueled by questions.

A song I randomly came across and have fallen in love with! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4G1JsK7jm4)

[tylerdf]

The average person unknowingly consumes human flesh 8 times in his/her lifetime.

[papayahed]

Dang, my rathole is a pig sty.

[Pensive]

Quid me nutrit, me destruit!

[Sancho]

At the time using a razor blade instead of a pair of scissors seemed like a good idea. Now, after further consideration (and 8 stitches), I’ve decided the idea was a poor one.

[DocHeart]

The average person unknowingly consumes human flesh 8 times in his/her lifetime.

This statistic can't be true.

It sure feels like it sometimes, though.

[Sancho]

Do fingernails count?

[tylerdf]

This statistic can't be true.

It sure feels like it sometimes, though.

It is absolutely factual, and by that I mean that I made it up.

I should be doing Taxes right now, but I'm killing time over here instead.

I just watched the first episode of the last season of Eureka. #### it was a good show, I wish it wasn't the last season but it does seem to be a good one judging by the first show!

This thought is not very random, more like 'I can't wait 'till next week'!!

I want egg salad. Badly.

And I'm not even pregnant.

We all want something badly. It's how bad do you want it? I defenately want a PlayStation Vita (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Vita) for my birthday Friday. I hope that I get one!

[papayahed]

We all want something badly. It's how bad do you want it?


Not bad enough that I would make my own. I think that's what you call laziness.

Uhhh, not really, I was just passing along the advice of my super-secret, hush-hush, can’t-lose, Wall Street, stock-trader program.

So now I’ll move along to my Viva-Las-Vegas, high-stakes-gambler, insider’s program:

“One thousand dollars on a SIX, the hard way!”

Yeah baby! Roll dem bones! Come to Papa! Baby needs new shoes! I'm hot tonight!

[Buh4Bee]

And you are on a literary forum??

I never ever want winter to come again, and I never want to return to work and I want my baby to stay 2 forever. It is the perfect day and we go to the lake!

[Helga]

OHHH I am sooooo sick of summer! My neighbor just came home from Paris and said 'Iceland is so cold' I just wanted to kick him, this sun and heat is killing my mood.

Winter come!

[papayahed]

Scatman Cruthers. Are there any good nicknames anymore?

[Nikhar]

If someone is said to be literally explosive, would she explode if one was to throw a matchstick at her, or is that just simple yet another wrong use of literally?

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

An ignition source is not always necessary to ignite an explosive personality. For example, consider the the drummer from Spinal Tap.

I need to change my avatar.

Oh man,

I think I'm about to die of heat frustration, or something.

It's 46 where I live today! If only it could make Sancho feel better :p

[Sancho]

Gracias, Pensive y Juniper.

46 degrees sounds muy bueno right about now, but only if it's on the Fahrenheit scale. 46 Celcius is what it felt like around here (Hot-lanta) yesterday, wilst I was setting fence posts.

My mom thinks I am going mad.

You need to work in a building with a walk-in freezer. I always hang out in the walk-in when it gets over 25 degrees, the cooks find me reading in there when they arrive in the morning. :biggrinjester:

Just don't start sleeping in the freezer....

[PoeticPassions]

I like the heat, if I'm not working (in a non-air conditioned office). I think I may actually melt completely by the end of summer. Goodbye all... farewell!

As critters go, Yellow Jackets suck.

Yesterday I found a colony of them, unintentionally, with my shovel. I bisected their nest. The neighbors enjoyed watching them chase me across the pasture.

Today I have one regular-sized hand and one catcher’s mitt-sized hand. So I’m off to the pasture with a can of gasoline, a box of matches, hate in my eye, and evil in my heart.

Wow. You're lucky--some people don't survive that. A few years back a suburban man was mowing his lawn and didn't know about an underground nest; he was stung to death.

Best time to go after that nest is very early morning when they're still sluggish. Also, I can personally recommend Raid Wasp & Hornet spray. It's pretty much insta-kill. Just wear long sleeves and gloves and stand upwind.

My dad uses a spray can of WD-40 and a lighter to make his own hornet-killing blow torch.

[Calidore]

Yikes. Too short-range, and also amounts to holding a napalm grenade if the flame travels back into the can. The Raid has a good long range (the can claims about 20 feet; I haven't measured, but I'd believe it), and every foot of head-start is valuable.

[Pensive]

Can't go. Can't NOT go.

[Sancho]

Mission accomplished.

Thanks for the hornet-slaying tips everybody. Calidore, yours seems well thought-out and totally sane and responsible. I actually had a half can of that stuff in the barn and I used it before I torched them. Juniper, as usual, yours has style and flare. Where is that can of WD-40 I own?

No worries about El Sancho and the Jackets - I get swarmed once or twice a year. I think they like me and I am a clumsy man. My Pop had a weird reaction once. He got stung on the neck, and boom, a big ole goiter popped out. He didnt get stung again for a few years, and then one of the little bastards got him on the hand, and boom, a big ole goiter popped out on his neck.

I love science psychology more than almost any other field of study, but I would be the worst clinical psychologist in the world. "Buck up, you're fine. Put a bandaid on it."

one of my favourite emoticon so far is SVENGO :svengo:
just great haha!!

[Scheherazade]

Whatever might yellow jackets be?

[JuniperWoolf]

It's the name that some Americans use instead of "wasps." I couldn't imagine being swarmed, let alone repeatedly. Maybe Sancho has developed an immunity over the years to whatever venom it is wasps inject.

[papayahed]

A guy at work ran over a nest while bush hogging and got stung 4 times on the head. Poor kid swolled up like nobody's business.

From my Peterson Field Guide:

Many people confuse the Yellow Jacket wasp with the "yellow" paper wasp.
The term paper refers to the composition of the nest that has the look and feel of paper.

Yellow Jackets tend to nest in the ground or just above ground, while the paper wasps nest high above ground.

Here's a picture of a Yellow Jacket:

Here is a picture of an active paper wasp nest. This picture was taken about half an hour ago and is about 20 feet above ground under the soffit:

Music makes me happy. Doesn't matter what is going on around me and inside me, if I am smart enough to pick up my guitar and start strumming and singing it puts me right at peace.

[Sancho]

Hey, I’m getting a strange sense of déjá vu all over again. This is from an ’05 thread about Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood:


I finished reading Wise Blood over the weekend. I was expecting to read a story about another Blanche DuBois, told from a female perspective, possibly quite femininely.

Well, I was wrong.

O'Connor's style of writing 'had me from "Hello"':I loved her acute observations and almost raw, painfully realistic style. As much as I love the way she tells her story, I won't be able to say that I understand all she has to say. The misery and sadness of the characters left me quite upset and I am wondering if I am able to appreciate it as it should. Maybe being a Southerner or a Christian would have helped.

All said, I loved the book. I will re-read it again sometime soon, along with her short stories.

*edit*

Also, does 'yellow jacket' mean something special here?



Hi guys,
I finally picked up my copy of Wise Blood today and I’m anxious to sink into my big ‘ole reading chair tonight and get started but first I have to paint a bedroom - yuk.

Scheherazade, I’m assuming that by “yellow jacket” she was simply referring to a type of native bee. Yellow jackets build their nests in the ground and they are angry and aggressive. They’re sort of a miniature version of a hornet (we’ve got them here too).

My last encounter with a yellow jacket nest was last summer. I was digging a hole in my yard to plant a Japanese maple when my shovel bisected a yellow jacket nest. After running around my yard, swatting and hollering for about five minutes, I went into my house, took a Benadryl, laid down on the floor, and waited to puff up like Michelin Man. I did.

Also, as far as Blanche DuBois is concerned, Atlanta is a long ways from New Orleans in both miles and attitudes.

Looks like I haven’t learned much since 2005 – I’m still harassing the local insect population with hand tools, and they’re still making me do the Saint Vitus Dance across my property (this time I was digging out a pine stump rather than planting a Japanese Maple). And Scher is as inquisitive ever.

Also I notice that in ’05 I thought a Yellow Jacket was a bee, but as we’ve all determined here – it’s actually a wasp. Vespidae not Apidae (I love Wikipedia). At any rate, those little suckers are FAST. My Springer Spaniel found a nest a couple of years ago. She showed up whining at the back door with a puffy-droopy face, looking like a Basset Hound.

They’re also a popular mascot in the South Eastern US. It was the mascot for my High School as well as for an institution of higher learning right here in Hot-lanta:

[Scheherazade]

Thanks for the explanations everyone :)
And Scher is as inquisitive ever. Much obliged that "inquisitive" is your choice of adjective.

Also in the same thread:
*revels in her ignorance*Somethings never change...

Gilliatt> Since Sancho's explanations were lost on me in 2005, I really appreciate the visual aids you supply to educate this Rita this time round!

[JuniperWoolf]

Somethings never change...


Haha, it's okay it's a US word, yellowjackets. They talk funny, the rest of us can't be expected to understand.

(actually I think "yellowjackets" is a cute name for them, way cuter than the vicious little things deserve)

[KCurtis]

You Canadians talk funny too, eh?
We do have weird words here, I think especially down south.

[Sancho]

I should paint my house.

[Monamy]

I should think of a random thought of the day... or... hmm~

[lilimarlene]

I need to stop this....

I'll try to make pills out my posts here and cure Insomnia...

[Adolescent09]

As far as insomnia goes... My eyelids are on steroids. They're too strong to fall.

[Monamy]

Wonder how many more pages this thread will get...

[Adolescent09]

Wondering why this thread doesn't have more pages.

[cacian]

what do you guys think this idea
a sleeping holiday? where people take time off to catch up on their sleep? haha

[Maximilianus]

I very much agree with cacian's idea of a sleeping holiday http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/ok.gif

Fire up the coffee pot.
And where's that bottle of Bailey's?
