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...
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 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?"

I was going to write about the "Rosetta Mission" to a comet, but when I clicked on the links I saw that the latest news is that it will be delayed.

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 ...
"On November 11th, this page will be replaced by the new Yahoo! home page."

What if I like what I have?

I've been bounced around on the upgrades, and played with them, and usually come back to the link saying, "Make Yahoo your ho...
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!

On a previous post I was saying that I had the same feeling about words, but didn't come up with a good example.

Well, here's one!

Function.
