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?
Oh Sarah, that's so weird. Is it written in the syllabus or something so you can show her and she'll believe you?
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!
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
Jessimaka33............. :o
I should think that a vegan's digestive tract would be so used to fibre that one little bar wouldn't make that much of an impact...unless you ate half a boxful?

*clears throat* *whistles nonchalantly* 8)
I don't think josh is actually a vegan. Plus, the type of fiber typically used in those sorts of bars is from a powderized form. I'd think that eating a few of those would cause digestional upset for most.. in the way that artificial sugars in chocolates and things do.
Guilty. I'm still vegetarian. :/ Although..I did go 6 days vegan a few weeks ago. I've been challenged by myself and certain people to do it again and to stick to it. Either way, there is nothing but awfulness in those bars. Agreed, Ms. S_o_G.
lol! You're right..but I do want to become vegan. Soon. Who is this 'veganhippie'? I hear she's nuts. :P
pfft i've heard the same. good thing, she's never tried to contact me

Was going to put this in the Diva thread, BUT IT FITS BETTER HERE AND I HAVE NO SHAME.
My mom re-organized my bathroom (She just loves re-organizing my things) and put my diva cup in with my box I keep all my hermit crab food and stuff. WHAT.
Confused.

Actually this goes with Reasons to LOL!
In Spanish slang a lady's...um...bits and pieces...are known as "the clam" because of the smell. Maybe your mom just has very sensitive olfactory organs.
sarah, that made me lol
my rtmtO_o face, the classic alternative station playing "house of pain - jump around"
"house of pain - jump around"
That makes me :o b/c I quoted from this song on my facebook wall....yesterday!!! Have not heard of it or thought of it in a loooong time...until yesterday and now reading it here today. Too weird!
My mom's cell phone ring is "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha :o
I have this coworker that is...well...really dumb. She has no social skills whatsoever, and can't hold a conversation at all. We were all sitting at lunch the other day and one of my shipment arrived from a biological company, Ward's. We were discussing where Ward's was located, and I said "North Carolina?" and she goes "No, that's Carolina." I said "Oh, so there can only be one bio company per state?" And she didn't understand I was making fun of her. So, not to miss a beat, so goes "Ken has had more jobs than anyone I've ever met."
WTF? Ken who? Where did Ken come up in the conversation? What does that have to do with bio shipping companies? I just stopped talking to her after that. Almost every single conversation I have with her goes a little like this.
that's fucking weird. and hilarious.
Sounds like she's one of those people whose idea of a "conversation" is "waiting for you to shut up so I can talk some more."

BOOM. You've never met her, and you just described the core of her existence.
wow VR i think we have at least 2 very similar people in our lives lol

Unfortunately such people abound, in all places, in both genders. Sigh.
