[Steph]

We've got cheddar cheese popcorn now. Is that better?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Have you tried the pour over cheddar butter microwave popcorn?

[Steph]

I think that's what he bought. We just bought a microwave so this world is new to me :)

When we go to the movies, I sit in an aisle seat so I can get up to shake more toppings on my popcorn. :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Yep, the cheddar butter stuff is pretty good.

[GusAspar]

I shall, of course, ignore that recommendation, IAKG.

[dicksbro]

I won't. I love cheddar so I may have to try it. (Although regular butter has an awfully strong hold on me.)

(Oh, Steph, I'll take my coffee black. :D)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

DB, it's a nice change every once and a while--and ADDICTIVE, too. :)

[dicksbro]

Okay, everyone get your popcorn out and your microwaves warmed up (I know you don't really warm them up, but sounded good). :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

We just popped popcorn not 15 minutes ago. :)

[dicksbro]

Yummy! :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Except I didn't get any. :(

[Steph]

You'll get yours!

[dicksbro]

Could be fun.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

I just want to know what I'm getting!

[Steph]

Popcorn, silly!

[WildIrish]

<---- reaches for his "bottomless" popcorn bucket!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Wouldn't that be kinda messy?

[WildIrish]

I'll mop up the mess with this pair of panties I found on the side of the road.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

LOL. :D



(I'll ignore that comment.)

[dicksbro]

Anyone need a wash cloth?

[Steph]

sleep . . . I'll take sleep for $200, Alex.

[dicksbro]

Okay, I'll sing to you then ... er ... Steph.

Steph ... are you still there? Steph?

Awwww, come on, it wouldn't have been that bad. ;)

[Steph]

LOL maybe tomorrow?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

<----bursts out in song, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll love 'ya, tomorrow. You're only a day away."

[WildIrish]

<--- will not be baited in to singing again! Too much controversy!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Don't you like musicals?

[dicksbro]

I love musicals. While I loved a lot of them, I still think West Side Story was one of my very favorites. (I know, that dates me a bit.)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

<----is a HUGE Phantom of the Opera fan.

[dicksbro]

Love it, too. You have good taste, IAKG.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

I've seen it in Louisville, LA, and NYC, DB. I play the music, and the songs were the first I learned when I took voice lessons. Ironically, when I started working for the law firm five years ago, my computer password to the computer they gave me was Phantom-related. ;)

[dicksbro]

That's neat. I admire your musical talents.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Nope, just a Phantom fanatic. :D

[Steph]

Eek. I'm not a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

[dicksbro]

Eek? Did you see a mouse?

[Steph]

I don't know why I use 'eek' but I like it :)

[dicksbro]

Eek is nice. :)

[Steph]

Was meeting IAK nice?

[dicksbro]

Absolutely. What a great family!

[Steph]

You met the kids, too?

[dicksbro]

Yep. Terrific kids, too. Must take after their mom and dad. Dah. :D :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

OMG, you're talking about me! :D

[dicksbro]

:D :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Psssst. Did you tell Steph how well-behaved they were? You know, so she'll take them for a year or two? ;)

[dicksbro]

I thought that went without saying. You'd think if she knew you and your husband she'd know that already! Just don't give them a keyboard and Pixies nickname or they'll stay up too late. :D :D

[Steph]

Did I stumble back to page 30 or so of this thread? When did I become the child-care Pixie again?

[WildIrish]

Rent'm before you own'm Steph!

[Steph]

Dudes, you'd be paying ME!

[dicksbro]

What? You mean you'd want money for an opportunity like that? :D

[SuccubusKitty]

Everyone should have a least one week of their life dedicated to taking care of someone else's kids all by themselves so they know if they would be any good at it.

[dicksbro]

Meanwhile ... back at the ranch ....

[IAKaraokeGirl]

...I've pawned one off for most of the day. :D

[dicksbro]

Look at the clever one. I'm impressed. :)

[Steph]

Whatever happened to drwinxp - the person who started this thing in the first place?

[Steph]

(I changed the subject, people!)

I saw pics of my co-worker's newborn today. If anyone was less ready than me for kids, it's him! :) The little guy is darling, though.

[dicksbro]

Little ones are usually very cute.

[Steph]

Yes, they are :)

[dicksbro]

Unless they go poopy at the wrong time. ;)

[Steph]

Or the boy pee pees with his diaper off . . .

[IAKaraokeGirl]

It's worse when you're *changing* his diaper and that happens.

[Steph]

That's exactly what I was picturing! :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

*Not* good in a public place!

[dicksbro]

Thank heavens for rain coats. :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Do you have a raincoat, DB?

[dicksbro]

;) Wouldn't be without one.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

LOL. :D

[dicksbro]

Now for some goggles. :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Are you planning to swim, DB?

[Steph]

good question!

[dicksbro]

Nah, just protecting the eyes. :D :D :D

[Steph]

Dirty, dirty, dirty! :jester:

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Isn't that what Pixies is for? :)

[Steph]

but in a fun way!

[dicksbro]

It is fun, isn't it?

[Steph]

We wouldn't be here so bloody much if it wasn't! :D

[dicksbro]

Well, we might be if the money were good. Lilith keeps doubling my moderator's pay ... but, unfortunately, it started at $0. :D :D

[Steph]

Do you mean my cheque isn't in the mail?

:jester:

Man, I love the colours in your av, DB!

[Sharni]

What cheque? :D

[Steph]

Er, you haven't received your quarterly posting bonus?

[Sharni]

Bonus? Was i sposed to? *LOL*

[dicksbro]

That would be nice. To get paid by the post. Hmmmmm.

[Sharni]

I agree *LOL*

[dicksbro]

We could retire ... :D

[Sharni]

:line: I like the sound of that *LOL*

[dicksbro]

:moon:

I like this one, too.

[Steph]

:deer:

The smilies sure are fun and different this time around! I LOVE THEM!

[Sugarsprinkles]

We need a Canadian smiley, don't you agree?????

[dicksbro]

A smiling maple leaf by chance?

[Steph]

A Shreddies smilie!

[dicksbro]

I love it. But for Canada, wouldn't it have to end in "eh?"

[dreamgurl]

not gonna do it

[dicksbro]

And if you don't, I won't either. :)

[Steph]

I'll never tell

[dicksbro]

You'll never tell what, Steph? :D :D

[Steph]

I can't tell!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Am I the only one lost here?

[Steph]

Nah, I usually get lost and I start some of these things!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

LOL :D

[dicksbro]

There are worse fates than getting lost with you two.

[skyler_m]

What in the hell is Shreddies?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

I've been told like Shredded Wheat, skyler_m. It's a Canadian thing.

[skyler_m]

Those crazy canucks...

[dicksbro]

Are they like us crazy yanks?

[skyler_m]

perhaps crazier

[dicksbro]

Is that possible?

[skyler_m]

there's a slim chance

[dicksbro]

We can be pretty crazy when we try. :D

[skyler_m]

that's quite true. i have some pics to prove it.

[dicksbro]

Is there anything else we need to discuss?

[skyler_m]

here or in another forum?

[dicksbro]

Since we're ignoring everything here ... maybe it's the best place for meaningful discussions. What do you think?

[skyler_m]

i think we did well

[Steph]

Canucks do well, too :)

[dicksbro]

Especially the Pixie ones. :)

[Steph]

We're a happy, multicutural family!

[skyler_m]

what do you do well, Steph?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Think she'll answer, or ignore us? :)

[skyler_m]

Probably ignore us...

[dicksbro]

I'll try calling her.

Steph! Are you listening?

[skyler_m]

see. told ya she was ignoring us...

[IAKaraokeGirl]

I think she's working now.

[skyler_m]

don't cover up for her... she's ignoring us. :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

LOL. Unfortunately, it's the truth. :D

[dicksbro]

The truth is that she's ignoring us? Is that what you said? :(

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Something like that. :D

[dicksbro]

Maybe Steph will stop by in the morning.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

More than likely in the next 3-4 hours.

[dicksbro]

Before someone beats me to it ...

Happy New Year!

I was first, wasn't I?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

I'm ignoring that. :D

[dicksbro]

Can you believe we're so close to Christmas?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

NO! I've got too much left to do.

[dicksbro]

We still don't have our tree up. :(

[Steph]

Tyler is still surfing the Web for trees!

[dicksbro]

Never thought about surfing the web for a Christmas tree.

[Steph]

You've never lived here :) We do tons online: groceries, buy clothes, order take-out . . .

[skyler_m]

tree's been up since the day after thanksgiving... :D

[dicksbro]

Wanna' come put ours up, skyler_m? :) I hope were getting close. :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

<---is planning on getting hers this weekend.

[Steph]

don't know when we'll get around to getting one!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

You can come help me decorate mine, Steph. :D

[Steph]

I was never the tree decorator. I left that to the people who wanted to do it - my sis and father usually. Maybe it stems back to when I was almost two and dad was decorating the tree and I ate a Christmas ornament and had to be rushed to the hospital?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

I would think that might do it. Also, with your birthday on Christmas Day, maybe some hidden resentment of not having a "normal" birthday?

[Steph]

Nah, no real resentment. I blame the Christmas bulb :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Probably a good idea. :)

[Steph]

My mother, of course, blamed my father for my eating habits :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Did your father regularly eat Christmas accessories?

[Steph]

lol

No, but I'm sure he was distracted with the *perfect* layout of the tree and wasn't paying attention to his toddler crunching a shiny decoration :)

[dicksbro]

Just to change the subject ... MAN WAS IT COLD HERE TODAY! :(

[Steph]

It's freaking cold here, too! House is clean, hair and make-up are there but I don't have an outfit :)

People are walking in the door :D

[dicksbro]

You sound terrific ... no outfit and all. Be sure to take pictures. :D :D

[Steph]

I wore a boring outfit. What can you do?

[dicksbro]

Hope you had a great time, Steph. ;)

[Steph]

Yes! The highlight were my friends from India dancing traditionally during some Bangra (Indian hiphop?)

[dicksbro]

Now that sounds like fun. :D

[Steph]

It was! Some of the corporates were a bunch of stuffed shirts but oh well, sucks to be them! :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Almost take pity on them, don't you?

[Steph]

Nah, they think they're better than everyone else so they're in their own little worlds.

[dicksbro]

Don't you wonder why some people are that way?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Maybe they can't deal with reality?

[dicksbro]

You think they don't quite realize what true reality really is?

[Steph]

What is reality? Everyone's perception is different.

[dicksbro]

Wow! Do we get profound around here, or what? :D :D



Dang, where did I put all those ol' philosophy books from college?

[Steph]

Not profound this morning - up too early :D

[dicksbro]

Okay, I take it back.

Although, anything that goes idle for almost 9 hours may indicate deep meditation and consideration going on.




Nah.

[KittehKat]

We listen well don't we...says ignore and we all pay attention :D

I didn't go back through all 40some odd pages but im sure they are mostly comments on ignoring the post eh?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Basically just conversation, really. :D

[dicksbro]

... or arbitrary ramblings. We're pretty good at that, too. :D :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Ramble? Who, me? :D

[Steph]

gah! Why do I have to bring my car to the mechanic at 9 a.m.? What was I thinking?

[dicksbro]

You wanted to get it fixed?

Just trying to help you remember, Steph. :D :D

[Steph]

LOL

I could have sworn I made an appt. for 11, though. It would have been less painful :D

OH well, I'll nap when I get home.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Nap? A nap *would* be nice.

[Steph]

A nap *will* be nice.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

<-----is jealous

[Steph]

You're not jealous. You're going to have a lovely weekend!

I, however, am jealous of the future me who is napping already :jester:

[dicksbro]

I had one of those when I got home from work. It was nice.

[Steph]

I napped until now :)

[dicksbro]

Well, good morning to you, then, Steph.

[Steph]

Good morning! My sleep schedule is now officially wacky. :)

[dicksbro]

Wacky can be fun. :D

[Steph]

Even when you're talking about sleep? Possibly :)

[dicksbro]

I can think of wacky things to do in bed ... :D :D

[Steph]

You're not talking about reading, are you?

[dicksbro]

No ... I don't think that was exactly what I was thinking. :D :D

[Steph]

What was it you were thinking? :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Do we really want to know?

[dicksbro]

Awww ... now ya' hurt my feelings. :(






JK :D :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

<-----gives DB a playful bop. :)

[dicksbro]

Whooo Hoooo. :D :D

[Steph]

she bop, he bop & we bop

[dicksbro]

Be-Bop-a-Lula, She's My Baby ...

[Steph]

Be-bop-a-lula, don't mean maybe

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Who wants to be my baby now? :D

[dicksbro]

If I cry, do I get to nurse? :D :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

LOL :D

[dicksbro]

Merry Christmas, IAKG! :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Merry Christmas to you, too, DB. Hope Santa brings you everything you asked for!

[dicksbro]

I saw Santa kissing Mrs. Claus ... :)

[Steph]

Were you Santa, DB? :D

[dicksbro]

:D :D

Shhhhh ... not too loud.

[Steph]

We're the only ones here lately so your secret's safe with me :)

[dicksbro]

LOL ... or is that ... HO HO HO. :D :D

[Steph]

or Happy New Year!

[Ryan²]

no it's an evil HA HA HA!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Nah, not DB. :)

[Steph]

Definitely not DB :)

[dicksbro]

Hee hee hee! (Thanks, ladies :D)

[Steph]

You're not a COMPLETE angel, mind :D

[dicksbro]

Thank you again ... I think. ;)

[Steph]

You're always a gentle man, and a gentleman but you've got a bit of perv in ya! ;)

[dicksbro]

Alas, when presented with such sensual beauty, charm and wisdom ... what is a man to do?

:D

[WildIrish]

Can't ignore that, huh?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

We're ignoring something here?

[dicksbro]

Aren't we suppose to?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Well, we've done it for 48 pages now. :D

[dicksbro]

I can ignore that. Yep. I can. :)

[Steph]

I have it on 72 pages, IAKG :)

[dicksbro]

Wow, you're really good at the this ignoring stuff. :D :D

[Steph]

Or we have different page preferences set, I wonder? :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

I'm sure that's it. :)

[Steph]

Still at page 72 here!

[dicksbro]

How do you set "Page Preferences"?

Golly, gadzooks, all these fancy do-dads and whatevers. How's a poor ol' country boy ever gonna get by? :)

[Steph]

ROFL DB - in your user CP, I think it's options - you can have 10 views, 20 views, etc. per page. I think I have 10 . . . IAKG probably has a lot more.

[Justin]

Always helping others Steph......

[Steph]

Always there with an interesting outlook, Justin . . .

[dicksbro]

Am I lucky to have such knowledgeable friends or what?

(Thanks, Steph. Two smooches and a hug. :D)

[Steph]

Hugs and smooches, DB! :D

[dicksbro]

Hee hee. I'll have to compliment you more often.

(blushes ... :lust: )

[Steph]

Oh, stop! :D

[dicksbro]

LOL

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Looks like I missed all of the fun. :)

[WildIrish]

<----- drags out the "Bucket - O - Fun" for IAKG

What shall we start with? The Groucho glasses or the rubber chicken?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

At this point, I'll take anything. :D

[WildIrish]

*hands IAKG a steaming mug of sugar-free cocoa...in his favorite Minnie Mouse mug

[Steph]

Coffee is my morning narcotic.

[dicksbro]

I like hot tea and hot coffee. But then, I'm easy. :)

[Steph]

We didn't realize that, DB. :D

[dicksbro]

LOL.

Morning hugs to ya', Steph!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

<---can't do coffee, but appreciates the sugar-free cocoa, WI. Now, what about sugar-free marshmallows? :D

[Steph]

Hugs, DB!

marshmellows without sugar? is that possible?

[WildIrish]

They're actually packing peanuts. Shhhhhhh, don't tell her.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

LOL. I haven't seen them, either. :D

[denny]

Raindrops are falling on my head................

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Having a 70s flashback, denny?

[Sugarsprinkles]

Isn't that before your time, IAKG?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Nah....just playing with Barbies and reading Nancy Drew books. :D

[Sugarsprinkles]

LOL!! I never did either of those!!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Well, you probably *wouldn't* have during the 70s. :D

[Sugarsprinkles]

I didn't do it in the 60s or 50s either........LOL :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

LOL. How 'bout climbing trees? I was big into that until I fell out of one onto my back. :(

[Steph]

Apparently Ron Isley (I think that's his first name) released a wicked gospel-style version of "Raindrops" recently.
