Reasons to make the O_o Face
There are times when you read, see or hear something that just makes you :o. This is the thread to share them on!
The other day I don't know where I stumbled on a thread discussing the Nancy Drew novels. I remembered how much I loved them and I did a little research...which led me to the original publishers, who also published the Hardy Boys and the Bobbsey Twins. All written by a cadre of ghost writers under cover names. Then I found a link to an audio book of one of the Bobbsey Twins stories, which I loved when I was a kid. I listened to it for old times' sake. The :o happened when the author described little Flossie-aged-four's collection of dolls, among which was a black Sambo doll given to her by the family's "coloured cook Dinah, and her husband the stableman, Sam." Who had "excellent rooms above the stables." They had given her this black worsted ragdoll (named Jujube) which she kept with her other dolls..."but apart, at the other end of the shelf, and with a nice piece of white pasteboard in between--because, well, he wasn't really family."
:o :o
The story goes on to state that Flossie had thought about giving Jujube away but didn't want to hurt Dinah's feelings; "and after all, as Mamma said, there weren't any doll hospitals for black orphan dolls."
No wonder the Bobbsey Twins books went out of fashion. Nancy Drew is still available today...but then there was nothing like that in them.
So, VWers, what made you :o today?
It was really horrifying being there.
At the end of the night after we put stuff away and cleaned up the store. The cart of stuff to go back just had knitting needles, no one would touch them, we just left. haha.
Reminds me of that silly joke:
How does a mathematician handle constipation?
He works it out with a pencil!!
uS - I can't imagine being there. I'm cracking up over here, imagining it. But if I was there, I..I dunno what I'd do.
Yabbit - Love it! What do you call a vegetarian with diarrhea? A salad shooter!
For months, like probably over a year, I have had a recipe for "Spinach Mushroom Miso Sauce" in my Recipe Box on VW. I finally made it yesterday and reviewed it. My review vanished,and even though the link to the recipe is still in my recipe box, when I click on it I get told that the board I am looking for has been removed or that I have been denied access. Weird.
At work my manager found a GIANT crochet hook in the mens bathroom.
It had poop on the end
SOME ONE STUCK IT IN THEIR BUTT.
AT MICHAELS
FRAMING IS RIGHT BY THE BATHROOMS. OH DEARRRRR. Ps, this thing is like an inch or a little more wide.
wow. I love picturing that :D
I couldn't find the "curled up in a ball, rocking back and forth while sobbing" thread so I'll go with O_o.
Long story short...Patsy& Eddie the hens have turned out to be Pat & Ed the roosters! :o So instead of an idyllic fowl family unit, I have 3 roosters. Of course. Geez , no good deed... Oh and Pat has an absolutely awful voice...laughable bad...not at all like the rich lovely crowing of Paco. I'm hoping it's a teenager thing and his voice is changing. :P I should stick to mammals.
Last night, I'm sitting at the bar with my buddy and he starts talking about his girlfriend. He immediately says, "yeahhh..we have nothing in common." :o I said to him - "wellll..I mean..it's your relationship. But shouldn't you two do something about that?!" haha
PM, you remind me of my husband's oldest friend. His wife makes Cruella DeVille look like a fun date. DH asked him why on earth he married her. His reason: "I was having nocturnal emissions every night." Oh, yeah, this is an excellent readon to marry someone you don't like.
Thirtyfive years and three kids later, he now has cancer and she treats him like a lodger.

That's sad. On all accounts.
Signs of the times...friends, this isn't a "recession" or a "crisis", it's an economic depression as in The Great.
Went to the supermarket today and on an island in the middle of a 4 lane road I saw a bright yellow van with big red letters: "Pawn Your Car--Instant Cash". And of course only a cellphone number.
Something tells me that you will never see your car again, and that the van will vanish overnight, too...along with your wheels.
I don't usually complain. It's not in my nature. I'm sitting here, at theatre rehearsal, running the sound board. The girl who's operating lights decided to bring her boyfriend. They. Won't. Stop. Arguing. :o :o
ughhhh tell him to gtfo
What a way to wake up...Classic Peanuts has been removed from Comics.com. No explanation, just "Check out Big Nate instead!" I went to Snoopy.com and was redirected to Comics.com "for today's strip" which isn't there.

Sacrilege!!
I didn't eat breakfast, so I had breakfast bars instead. They're starting to tear me apart. :/ I just read the box and they're loaded with extra fiber! They're bars to help you poop!!! :o :o

fiber one bars? my sister eats those. haha!
i went to take a shower this evening, a shitload of people at my house (which is the new norm 12 current) and i decided to open up a new beer, my drunk friend decieded to come into the bathroom to try to steal it. I was naked and taking a piss before i hopped into the shower. He refused to leave the bathroom until i gave him the beer. Lots of yelling (and no success on his part) later... He left. Then came back in 3 times. I also got inturruted by both the 4 year olds and the pregnant one. 15 minute shower!!!! I need either a lock or a second bathroom, or both!
I've told my mom how my ethics class works several times. Including the fact that I don't need to go on video days because he gives us full credit, even for attendance, if we watch them at home.
I also told her several times he said he prefers we don't come and thinks we're crazy if we do.
I also told her I have videos until after spring break, so I don't need to go.
She took this the complete opposite way. She thinks if I miss another day I get kicked out of school completely.
What?! (So I'm going on video days...)
Sarah I think your mom thinks you're lying about it, or something. From what you say, her behaviour is so weird she's probably judging your words by her own skewed sense of...values? is that the word I want?

lol! These were the Active Lifestyle brand. When I bought them, I thought, "Heyyy..breakfast bars!" A few bars and a few hours later.... "My stomach is killing me. Oh my!! On the box it says 'excellent for digestive health'." In other words, 'good for making you go go go'. :o
