a bit of a cryass, weren't you? :p

How you healing up?

by jck

at least i didn't make a blog out of my injury for attention and pity :p :^0 (don't mess with me...i got even more bitter since my injury/painkiller withdrawls ;) )

Okay. I'm back at the office now. My neck is hurting, but they said it could for up to 12 months. Can't come to KY for the event since I used up all my vacation/sick leave while in the hospital.

I am currently fathoming pulling a deal on the banks, consolidating all of my home debt into one note, then short selling the house and leaving the new note holder with nothing to show.

I am really sick of things, and I don't care if my credit goes in the crapper for whatever reason. I can stay at my job another year, rent a local non-sold spec home for half the money, be closer to work, and can move whenever i want.

My credit will rebound in 12 months because I'll have an extra $9k a year in the bank and will turn around things bought on cards in 1-3 months and show payment ability.

I am just really down still owning the house, but that's because I saw a job I would like to have gotten with a city government in NC and can't because I can't sell the house in no time flat.

Oh well, that's life...I guess.

by jdclyde

"sorry, my back hurts to much" (next friday as you are halfway to KY)....

:D

Then again, I at least am sharing the ride, so that will lower expenses and share the driving.

Still only working part-time, so saving where I can is a must.

Leaving Thursday after work and heading back Sunday. While I am not bouncing as much as GG (NO ONE is), this is still going to be cool. A shame you, Mae, and Jessie can't make it. Imagine if we could have also pulled in Jaqui? oh my.... Kentucky would never be the same! :D

by jck

You used to be able to do it on the concorde.

Flights from NYC/Boston/Newark take about 6 hours to get to Dublin...about 7 to London.

Since it's 4 time zones, you can't make up hours.

In conventional airplanes, the only way to do that is crossing the international date line.

by jck

I'd probably end up tucked in a corner with Sonja, GG, and Shellbot drinking in half-lighted accommodations.

I'm not a big social beast...not at least til after the 5th or 6th margarita. :^0

Yeah, I can't make it. No paid leave now. I borrowed $1ks to pay medical expense (btw...out of pocket insurance maximums? crock of $hit...almost paid double mine since April).

but hey...I have two new shiny titanium rods in my neck now...I can set off metal detectors now without my gun or knife!!!!! :^0

by jdclyde

what the resale value of titanium is..... ;\

Make sure to leave THAT in your will! :D

by jiminpa

This thread is gonna put the thumbs up numbers through the roof :^0

by jdclyde

As this is not the first time I have given thumbs out. Did it with my last recipe request question.

I think they have programmed in an "ignore JD" module.... :D

by jessie

HOOR!

But then... we can't all be prefect.

And yes, I gave it a worthwhile too.

by oh smeg

But if my Nephews are any thing to go by they will shorten that to just Nana. So Shelly will be from now on known as Nana. :0

Heading the wrong way, If you fly to AU you loose a Day as you leave on a Monday and arrive on a Wednesday if you leave at the wrong time.
Similerally if you leave AU on a Monday you arrive on Sunday when you hit the US.

The International Date Line is West of the US not east but I would love to see Boxy's & Shelly's description of this. :^0

But I don't know if my brain could follow the [i]logic[/i] of those two. :0

Col 0:-)

by oh smeg

Look every one I'm a real person now I have 666 Thumbs.

That is 333 Thumb-less people running around the world. :^0

Actually JD I don't really care any more and I notice that this account didn't take all that long to get this number. :D

Col

by jdclyde

we are going to have to get this decided before next week! :D

Actually, if we resolve it this week, she will have forgotten all about it by next week so I will be safesafesafe! ;\

by oh smeg

TR is getting at you now.

Earlier today TROL was showing 37 Votes/Thumbs and now it's showing 34. I think that the PTB @ TR are in the process of getting at you. :D

perhaps when I wake up tomorrow it will be down to 8. :p

Col 0:-)

by the scummy one

her logon reflects that name from now on :D

Tammy! Can you please make sure of this?

by jdclyde

How much will it cost to have you "moderate" shells logo to read "GranBot"?

I have diiiieeeettttt cooooooooke!

by jdclyde

Ok, it seems some are torn between GRANNYbot and granbot.

Do I have to start another thumb orgy to resolve this?

Hey, Maybe Soni will setup a poll for us! :D

by shasca

I had that exact same thought yesterday.

That is before Scummy sucked it out of my head for his own evil purposes.

by boxfiddler Hot topic

[i]I dont suck like that -- I drain it instead[/i]
:0 ]:)

by shellbot

how long does it take for username to get updated..i changed it..but its not updated yet?

by shellbot

ok..i'm going home..

scummy..i..i..i just don't know..

by jdclyde

Ha ha, Scummy "drains" it.... :^0

AND has a DIFFERENT way that he "sucks"?

oh the humanity.....

by shasca

We definitely brought him to his knees with these snappy comebacks.

Wait thats where this all started......Umm well you all know what I meant. you did didn't you?? Right?

by boxfiddler Hot topic

We know, we know.
< rolls eyes, patronizingly pats shasca on the back... >

:D :D :D

by oh smeg

That it's just to hard so the PTB at TR have left things alone so that the Number can increase to 667 which they have today. :p

But just for you look here :^0

Notice the high Visibility URL? :D

Col 0:-)

by oh smeg

It's changed now to [b]Dieing Worn Out Old GranBot.[/b]

Is that what you really wanted? :0

Col 0:-)

by Tammy.Cavadias

What did I tell ya about spamming? Every week I warn about spamming.. and do you listen? No... so what did that get you???? Well you ended up in my spam folder - good thing for you I got hungry - or you'd still be stuck in there! Geeeeeee... now pass the grey poupon will ya!

-Tammy [_]3

by oh smeg

Did Tamminkins just say that she Ate JD? :0

by ksoniat

Have actual deadlines so can't "hang out". But I'll drop by for a thumb - already gave my approval when TROLOV first viewed, but it sounds like I might be able to add a few more based on others posts. ;)

I vote Granbot too.
One diet coke on the rocks and back to the grindstone.

by oh smeg

[b][i][u]NICE[/b][/i][/u]

I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may Incriminate myself. :p

Col :^0

by dmambo

This is just another example of a studio "marketing" the film to the Academy in a shameless attempt to garner more votes at Oscar time. The nerve!!!

P.S. I wish I was able to attend the event in Louisville. Have fun all! (Imagine meeting GG, jd, Palmetto, et al. What a blast!)

by jdclyde

Was really looking foreword to your attendance.

Add to that hearing GG talk about Danger Mouse and the glow would have been priceless!

by jellimonsta

What would be priceless is witnessing the glow first hand when GG gets to talking. ;)

by the scummy one

into the belief that anybody else believes that you are nice. Go on now -- the more you state it, the more you believe

Next you can work on the notion that you are trustworthy too :^0 :^0

by the scummy one

it was just not what you wanted to hear. That goes for all remarks that I make to everyone. I am NEVER mean, I always try to help, be it outta this life, off this board, outta the conversation, or whatever else -- it is all just trying to be helpful!

I guess I am just misunderstood :(

by ksoniat

...thou dost protest too much! ;)

But we love you anyway.

by oh smeg

Don't encourage Scummy if we ignore him perhaps he will go away just like W2K did. ;)

Telling him that you love him just has the opposite effect and makes him return way too often. :0

Right at the moment we are trying to Clean Up TR and Scummy is the number one cause of complaints. ;)

Col 0:-)

by oh smeg

Did you tell JD about the 200 + Helpful Marks to one of the most recent one of Bill Detwiler's Blogs? The one about removing Hidden Drivers from Vista and XP. :0

I'm betting that you enjoyed telling JD about that right? :^0

[i]Edited to add[/i] No I haven't misunderstood you at all you Scummy One. :p

Col 0:-)

by the scummy one

but didnt feel like looking for it, so I decided to downplay it a bit, and set his goal lower to crush him later.

by jdclyde

:(

Now we need to think of something else that will keep GranBot distracted. Maybe if I drop a bunch of glitter, having something shiny will keep her busy for a while...... :D

by oh smeg

Just tell the Old Dear that Mae has misplaced her favorite Shovel and she'll spend the entire time there looking for it. This is just practice for her running around after all the Grand Kids looking for what they dropped and can not find now. :D

She may even get her Walking Frame up to 1 mile per hour in her search. So you'll need to warn the others to keep a watch out to prevent getting run over by a Blind, out of Control GranBot. :-bd

by oh smeg

What if I was to coat the Green Eggs & Spam in Deep Fried Diet Coke? :D

But to be perfectly honest it is [b]SWMBO[/b] that wants me to be [b][u]Nice[/u][/b] :-& I have always been trustworthy even if I did steal a customers pen this mourning, when I went around there to tell her that I had to reload her system. When I got back to base I found one of her pens in my pocket. :0

Not really sure how it got there either because I don't remember writing anything down while I was there. But no matter I'll just slip it back in with her Books and then probably forget to give them back. :^0

Col 0:-)

by ksoniat

There is more than one way to "smother" someone.

You have your way - I have mine! ;)

by ksoniat

another example of you NOT being mean?

I suppose you could be crushing him NOW. ;)

by the scummy one

get your wish
then again, maybe I like coming here just to bug the cr@p outta you ?:|

by the scummy one

a lesson in reality :^0

besides, HAL brought it up, not me, so HAL is at fault (and he states he is nice)

by oh smeg

But Hal hasn't posted here. :p

I believe that he is scared of JD and doesn't post anymore. ;)
