I just got a PM from a sweet lady here (MissMimi) and also 3 or 4 emails saying I had messages on the facebook wall----all wishing me a Happy Birthday.
 
Not that I don't appreciate it, but it's not my birthday! 
 
What happened, you ask?   My paranoia at work!  When I joined facebook awhile back I was worried about "putting myself out there" for various reasons.  (Mostly I didn't want people I knew in RL back home catching up to me, I guess)
 
Anyway, I didn't put my real birthday on the sign-up sheet----so there you go.....
 
My birthday is actually not far from that date, but it's not today.  I'm so sorry!  As I told MissMimi in answer to her PM----"My little white lie caught up to me."
 
I guess I should go to facebook and fess up there, too.  I just didn't find it to be a website for me for two reasons: 
 
One:  It's "too busy" a website.  Too much to look at, click on, keep up with.  Maybe something to do with my brain?
 
Two:  I spend what time I can on SC and I like it here.  I'm comfortable and can sort of keep up with it.  You see how I write a post and then don't get back to answer comments until it has already "gone cold" and faded away most of the time.  How can I add facebook?
 
I only joined facebook because on that particular night, SC was down and I had the time to go look at it and jumped right in.  I was amazed at the time, seeing people and their pics and real names.  (I can't remember who was who now, except for a few people)
 
A friend wanted me to join, also, and I kept putting it off until that night that the lights went out in SC.  I'm sorry that I've lost touch with her lately, too, and so I won't even say who I'm talking about.  But if she is reading this--I apologize.
 
And I doubly appologize for telling a fib and getting undeserved birthday wishes!  I'll save them for the real day.....a month from now.....ha.
 
sorry

    LOL! (hug) you are too special lady! lol... i did the same thing till one day i told the truth.

    me too! i went to facebook because soulcast went down. i go there once in awhile because of my son being there. but.... it's too busy for me too! this is my home, my neighborhood. not as big, thank god!

    hey, you and me.... die-hards of SoulCast!  *smile*

    MM&I:  Well, I don't feel as silly now---I'm in good company!  I could have written a much shorter explanation, too!  Yes, I guess I'm also a diehard SoulCaster like you!  Thanks for the hug and the smile!
     
    (I'll save them for my real birthday, too!)
     
    P.S.  Haven't gone to facebook yet to explain, either.  I know I should tell the nice folks thank you, but I will have to either wait till I'm in the mood to tackle the place, or else not do it at all and go on feeling bad about that part.  Maybe the word will get passed around that my head is hanging, but I am still not zooming around there.

    Lol, oh Wombie, I'm sure no harm's done.  I can understand doing something like that, just trying to keep it anonymous and all.  Totally understandable why you stay away from FB now, I had sort of wondered.  I'm finding myself in the same boat, and also, I'm phasing away from FB little by little purely because half the things I was doing on there won't load on my computer anymore (stupid getting to high levels, lol).  Well, I'll wait to give you birthday wishes since that's a month away.  :-D
  • travelr712 said on Oct 29, 2009....

    that's it wombie, i want my present back! :-P

    CW:  Yes, it is.  I don't mind saying I'm almost 54, but I guess the date is still a secret....

    pickersplock:  Oh how cute, cute, cute!  I forgot where I was for a bit there, sitting here watching "farting teapots" and such.... Love the unbirthday party!  Thanks for making me smile!

    (The old dude with the green hat (Charlie?) looks like a man I worked with at my last job!)

    Thanks for finding and posting this for me.  I got a real kick out of it!

    Hegemone:  Glad you understand what I was saying about facebook.  I just couldn't take on more clicking around time, I guess.  I'll take this as my birthday wish early...ha.

    travelr712:  Well!  Ok....but wrap it back up and send it again later!  (unless it's money or cheesecake, in which case I want it now!)

    destinydiva:  I didn't know the Queen had two birthdays!  I got your PM and sent you one back.  Thanks!

  • travelr712 said on Oct 30, 2009....
    well if it was cheesecake, you woulda already ate it wombie, so in that case, i don't want it back. :-P
  • wombat said on Oct 30, 2009....
    travelr712:  You're right about that!  Actually, I really did eat a small cheesecake all by myself in one night just last weekend.  I've had my "fix" for now, so I'll take the money!
  • travelr712 said on Oct 31, 2009....
    will a walmart gift card suffice?
  • queenparanoia said on Nov 01, 2009....

    very cute photo... i like the happy unbirthday song to you wombie...

    so...

    when's your real birthday?

  • wombat said on Nov 02, 2009....

    travelr712:  Sure.....as long as it doesn't specify that it's only for a casket.........

    Queen:  I loved the unbirthday video!  Wasn't just so special?

    My real birthday?  I don't want to invite more posts about my birthday, but add a month.

Just going out in the cold to smoke, and a Statie looking car is still at the neighbors after two or three smokes, and I see no activity there at all----just the car burning gas out in the street. I am nosy and want to know what's going on in there, but...
I just got tickled because I answered a comment on my post "Rumors of My Divorce" and below that was quietone's post, "I Have Men In My Basement."

Usually, it's one of my own posts stuck down there, but it's really funny this time! Might ha...
I got confuzzled when I stopped in to get gas where I used to work, and the new lady there, who I've talked to some, interupted me with a question.

"So, you're divorced, aren't you?"

"What? Where'd you hear that?"

S...
Ok, so it's Friday night, and if you are here like I am, you might be dressed funny.

I have on lime green sweat pants, a green knit sweat top, socks and houseshoes with fur on them, and a blue jacket with pockets to hold my cigs for going in ...
It seems that lately the mister and I have been living not only in different sections of the house, but in different sections of our lives--and the bathroom has become the demarcation line of our differences in more ways than one.
