Zoodle: Present
Taxes: I live in Canada. Money back? Are you kidding?
I wonder if I'm going to expect myself to "put out" later. We'll have to see how
the evening goes or if I turn into a total cad.
** spew ** Sly - too funny!
Thanks Alex. I have no problem telling her the truth about sex it's just that prevailing wisdom says to wait until they are intellectually able to understand what the heck you're talking about. You must have been a precocious 3 year old.
Anyway..tonight she was playing with her dolls and she told me that when she has her own daughter she's going to name her "Emma" so thankfully she hasn't been scarred for life by acquiring knowledge that was too advanced for her.
Eleanor - even I'm thankful we've moved & I have high speed! How's the carpet?
Posted by: Zoodle | February 28, 2005 at 06:49 PM
Eleanor: Is the Ionic Breeze really silent? I have a thing about noises and if I can hear it when I'm trying to sleep it's gonna drive me crazy. (And it's not a really long trip if you know what I mean!).
I don't know if I've seen it here. Maybe it's just in the states? I need something that filters out smells too. I can't stand it when I can smell someone else's cooking. Or cat poo. That's not pleasant either.
Geez...I'm living up to my motto tonight.
Zoodle's motto: Why use 10 words when 5000 will do.
You should hear me on voicemail!
Posted by: Zoodle | February 28, 2005 at 06:56 PM
Zoodle, I used to work for an attorney who was a nightmare with voice mail. He was a really nice guy and tons of fun, but he left the longest voice mail messages on earth. He'd have to call back several times to leave his messages because he kept getting cut off. And after the first 30 seconds, the rest was just palaver. He walked in one day and caught me mouthing along with his message.....like Chevy Chase used to do on Weekend Update.
He didn't say anything. A few days after that, I walked in his office when he was listening to his messages on speaker phone. I heard opposing counsel in a case say "I got your message, but quite frankly, I don't have time to listen to the damn thing. Just call me."
I had to turn and leave 'cause I was laughing so hard.
Posted by: slyeyes | February 28, 2005 at 07:07 PM
Marvin | etc: Um, Like, here, dude!
taxes: eh? what, ah, are those? Don't you, mm, have to have, like, a job or, um, something? Or be, um, really old? Heh heh, like, heh...
Posted by: Marvin | Paranoid Android | February 28, 2005 at 07:30 PM
oh. yeah, that.
Neophyte: here
Taxes: refund, already got it and from the way my husband is avoiding the subject (as well as avoiding even looking at me when I try to ask him about it,) I'm guessing it is already spent.
*sigh*
Posted by: neophyte | February 28, 2005 at 07:40 PM
I see how it is...y'all are tricky. You wait until I leave for work to migrate. HOW RUDE! :-P
Posted by: MeL | February 28, 2005 at 07:47 PM
ok... taxes first get em out of the way ..
Kafaleni Present. Present? We were supposed to bring a present? Nobody tells me anything anymore!
Taxes Think I'll break even... might even get a little back. Tax year in NZ ends March 31st, so I haven't even put my papers in yet.
*settles into Killer Moat. Pours inaugural cup of Killer Coffee*
A spanking. A spanking. There is going to be a spanking tonight.
Am I the only one who saw this and started mentally singing "Somebody's gonna hurt someone, before the night is through... " *segue to chorus* "There's gonna be a spaking tonight, a spanking tonight, I know, Lord, I know.."
Zoodle, my sister loves my voicemail. She treats it like a conversation that I can't interrupt. I get home and find a machine with half a dozen messages. Messages 2 onwards start with "Your machine keeps cutting me off.. " She'll fill it with recipes, anecdotes, newsy things, decorating tips, things she thinks I should know. I do the same thing sometimes, but I only ever leave one message. Email, I will ramble on.. then send. Then think of something else and there goes another email, and so on and so on. Also, I'm glad your daughter seems to have processed yesterday's trauma without too much difficulty. Do you like the name of your prospective grand-daughter?
Alex.. I've been where you are. In my last year of school, I missed three weeks, first with a viral infection, then the flu. I went back for two days and then had another week off with tonisillitis... I just about went crazy. So you have my symapthy... and these.. *loves Alex a vial of suspicious looking tablets* They'll do ya good honey.
Going to post this now, and then to read the 20 messages that arrived in my email while I was at work (I feel very loved because over half of them were from Moaties!... not neo, though. Neo, feel free to email me any time.. no pressure, and the address here works.)
Posted by: Kafaleni | February 28, 2005 at 10:44 PM
Taxes? HA! I'm building up a small fortune by making money a little at a time so that it's nontaxable and not spending any of it. It takes a long time, but it's only taxed a few cents per year. I'm going to try doing things the normal way this summer. Then I'll be able to groan with the rest of you next year.
Zoodle -- It wasn't that the knowledge was too much, but that the TV show was graphic, and I'd be grossed out by it today if I watched it again. If that's still on video, it makes a great contraceptive.
Hi, MeL! Glad to see you found us.
Joshkr -- Thanks. If I ever have an upset stomach again, I'll start saying that I'm about to [insert phrase from Vomit Dictionary here] and see if people have heard it before. I never thought getting sick could've been fun!
Re: voicemail/email fun -- What fun. (Yes, I know this is long. But I just had to share because I'm wide awake at 4 A.M. with nothing to do.)
My dad has had some voicemail fun at his old job before retiring. The company got a new email server, called a "general leger" account (he worked in accounting), in addition to the regular email. Employees would then send a message to whichever account was easier to access at the time and call my dad to tell him where to look. One day, he got fed up and told a guy to just friggin' talk to him while he was on the phone. A few weeks later, after he incessantly complained, the company announced that the "general leger" account was to be used for the "general leger." Duh!
Another favorite came from Mom. She got a random voicemail message from a student registered to take one of her math classes. The woman left her first name and rambled on about making up five weeks of work that she'd missed. Not having any clue who it was or which class she attended or even the phone number, my mom just ignored it. Then came another call, which she answered. Same deal, and Mom told her to go contact her instructor. She explained that she didn't know the instructor's phone number or email (which are on the syllabus the first day of class). Mom politely told her to knock it off and figure out how to find the instructor herself.
Then there's the stalker of a book publisher, who gave my mom's phone number and email to an author whose book she did not want to buy. The guy harassed her for 3 days with calls and a dozen emails every five minutes. The publisher apologized and sent her flowers. (Get the logic here? She didn't want to be bothered anymore, so they sent her stuff.)
Finally, my personal email blunder. Last semester at college, I wondered why I never got responses to my emails. A few weeks ago, I discovered that I had the inbox open to the "trash" folder, which was empty. Then I spent about 5 minutes deleting everything from the fall.
*takes funny looking tablets*
OK, I've got nothing to lose. Now what was in those?
Posted by: Alex D. | February 28, 2005 at 11:56 PM
Oh, and yes, I was a difficult child. I asked more questions than Mom could answer, and I was bored to tears up until 3rd grade with classes because I was already reading the newspaper and watching the news and learning about math from my mom, a math teacher.
Of course, I made up for it by not crying that much and actually listening to Mom instead of blowing her off.
OK, seeing that I killed the blog, I think I'm going to try falling asleep to Grateful Dead music now.
Posted by: Alex D. | March 01, 2005 at 12:24 AM
Alex... Chicken noodle soup (with teeny tiny dumplings) and a whole lotta Moat love... the nice kind for ill people, not the kinky stuff for sick people usually practiced around here. Wash 'em down with one of those Killer Coffees, and you should be right.
I am now officially caught up on the Moat, the MB AND my email. It's only taken hours. It's a good thing I have no life. I'm gonna try and find something to send to D & J, just so I can be unsurprised when they don't post it. Don't ask me why. I should have figured that if they didn't blog my naked drunk lawyer link (from Miami no less....), it would take me a while to find something truly blogworthy. Oh well, off to look...
Posted by: Kafaleni | March 01, 2005 at 12:28 AM
ALEX!! Come back!! It's easy to post and I need someone to talk to!!
Posted by: Kafaleni | March 01, 2005 at 12:30 AM
aaah, well.. anyway.. a story to while away the night time hours.. (I'm trying to hold out so I can get some sleep tonight.) I had dinner at BK tonight (Chicken D'Lite Meal with onion rings... L&P to drink.. that's not the point though...) There was a sign up on the wall for people who wanted jobs at BK, so I decided to look at it while I was puddling about, reading newspapers... I'll skip you the main screen and just send you here to find out are you fired up??. If that doesn't work, just go here and scroll down to the bottom, click on the jobs button. Don't wait for the page to fully load because the music is REALLY annoying IMO.

Check the breakfast bar guys... I left you the antidote to a Killer Coffee.. okay so it's more like the hair of the dog, but that's fine too. Liquid breakfasts are allowable aren't they?
*loads food by the ton onto the breakfast bar to make up for the alcohol*
Eat drink and be merry, for work will call far too soon...
G'night Moat!! G'night Fluffy, Pliskin and *tries desperately to remember Peri's plant protector's name.. can only come up with Sweetums.. knows he was a Muppet* G'night sweet plant...

POOKIE!!! That's the name!! God Bless Pookie!!
(Slightly mangled) movie reference anyone? (This should be easy!)
Posted by: Kafaleni | March 01, 2005 at 01:16 AM
I see I have (not so) perfect timing. I don't recognize that from a movie, but I do know that Pookie is Garfield's teddy bear.
BK should've at least gotten models for the picture of the "hot" jobs. If that's what they call "hot," I feel very sorry for them.
I sent in stuff a while ago, and Judi actually responded to one! I wonder if that means it's getting lost or being posted.
Posted by: Alex D. | March 01, 2005 at 01:39 AM
Rita's a bit low... she doesnt have internet at work and she's got too much work right now to play in the moat while at work...

Morning Moatsters, nice new digs.
Been in heavy blurk mode, and missed much. The Snake rewrite is progressing a little slower than anticipated, but going well. Probably owe those of you who read along a few beers - hadn't realized how sloppy some of it was.
Joshkr - hang in there pal.
This group continues to be very cool. Thanks for all the laughs.
Oh, as for taxes, we usually just rob a train. You don't make much money, but it's just so damned cool!

Morning Moaties! Welcome, igloo!
Ok I'll play.
Leetie: Here!
Taxes: Overall, hopefully a refund. Even though I don't work, I'll owe for my interest income. JU updates his W2 (W4? whatever) often enough that he usually stays ahead. We always have to pay VA state tax *grumble* but hopefully the Federal refund will more than cover it.
TMI?
Zoodle: I understand your fears about not being able to sleep with noise. Our bedroom HEPA unit, which has a fan that runs non-stop, has actually helped me to sleep better due to the constant, unwavering background noise that drowns out all the little bumps in the night. I really notice noises now when I sleep in a house that doesn't have a fan running.

Morning, C-bol! I knew you were blurking.
Because who can resist THIS!? *jumps back up on desk, starts doin' The Cabbage Patch*

Kippy-I'm in for the thong, but I think I will wait for the IPEX. I like seamless.

Good Morning Moaties and Blurkers!
Weather Update:
The radiant sun has decided today to be the best day to show its shining face and reflect its light off the freshly fallen snow. Which means that its brighter than being flashed by an androids ramparts, and colder than being nekkid in a pool filled with Moataritas.

Good morning everyone from sunny so.ca - no rain in the forecast - hooray! Downstairs is still drying out!
Igloo - welcome - why did I think you were here all the time??
Zoodle - when I say the Ionic Breeze is silent, I mean there is no noise! - there are NO moving parts to make noise! It's magic - when Cute Guy bought it for me and brought it over, we actually read the info sheet that came with it to try to figure out how it worked - it was too scientific of an explanation for us - we're lawyers, ya know! We barely have time to understand the law, let alone figure out anything else! Also it does take smells out of the air!
Joshkr - please give a warning if you're posting "vomit" stuff while I'm having my coffee and danish - thank you.
Kaf - Since D & J did NOT post my fabulous Don't-swallow-ocean-water-because-there-is-too-much-whale-sperm-in-it article, with a picture of a whale dick, I'm surprised they post anything at all!-

Ok, Di. I'll bite. What happened on "The Bachelorette"--which you "did not watch"--last night?
Posted by: Tamara | March 01, 2005 at 06:11 AM
*gasps*
Tamararhymeswithcamera! Are you implying that I DID watch it?? I take offense to that. I would never, ever watch a show like that... I really was wondering though, because the little intern girlies were all standing around their cups of de-caf with soy and splenda talking about how She didn't end up picking anyone. So I was curious to know what happened...
*crosses arms across her coconut bra, goes to the dark corner of the MOAT, pouting*
Posted by: Di | March 01, 2005 at 06:22 AM
Feeling lonely on the MOAT, and mildly irritated by the fact that the RL phone won't stop ringing, Tamara loses her mind, but at last finds something to do.
From behind the MOAT sofa: Up pop two sock-covered hands. One sock is heavily bedazzled; the other is draped in sandpaper.
Bedazzled Sock [in high-pitched voice]: I don't have anything to say.
Sandpaper Sock [in Barry White voice]: But after all this set-up, baby, we have to have something funny to say.
Bedazzled Sock: I think our existence alone is hysterical. Anyone who disagrees is only jealous they don't have a Bedazzler!
Sandpaper Sock: You're so right!
End Scene
Posted by: Tamara | March 01, 2005 at 06:40 AM
Pssst... Tamara, I think we lost'em all... now we can really get the party started.
Hand me that bedazzler, lets see what it can do to some coconut shells and penguin thongs!
Posted by: Di | March 01, 2005 at 06:47 AM
Wait! I forgot!
Sandpaper Sock: You're so right!
Socks start making out with each other
Bedazzled Sock: Ouch! You're chafing me!
Sandpaper Sock: Sorry, baby, but I'm watching that re-run of last night's "Bachelorette" over Di's shoulder here, and it's getting me SO EXCITED!
End Scene
Posted by: Tamara | March 01, 2005 at 06:48 AM
I see you blurking. All of you. I see you. I see right through you. I can see into the inner recesses of your souls. And I can see that you want a punch line here. Well, you won't get one!

I forgot to post this yesterday--
RE: The Talk
This weekend, after Soon-To-Be-Ex-Husband & I had The Talk & sorted out all the details of the upcoming divorce, we chatted for a while about what singlehood will be like for each of us--what's going to suck, but what will be kinda cool...
Then there's a pause. S-T-B-X turns to me and opens his mouth as if to say something, then turns back away and says, "Nevermind." Naturally, I ask, "What?"
"No, I was going to ask you something, but I think you'd get mad."
"Oh. Ok." (Usually, if he says it'll make me mad, he's right, so I didn't want to know.) (Then he decides to say it anyway.)
"Well, I was gonna say... Do you think we could have sex one last time?"
What IS it with you men?! GAH!!!!

ALL men want to do that, Tamara, no matter who's breaking up with whom - marriage or boyfriend!
It's universal!!
Come on, male MOATies, confess!

Addendum to above post:
If I had a nickel for every time a guy said, one more time??? -

Tamara - I admit to having asked The Evil One that once while we were in process of selling the house and moving to different states... not my proudest moment...
For Deon's roll call:
Higgy: Here!
Tax Status: Big fat refund, already earmarked for various house repairs/projects.
Just FYI - March 1st is St David's Day. The Patron Saint of Wales. It's no National Beer Day, but I plan on celebrating much as the Irish do on March 17th!

Tamara,
Most men would do it with a "snake" if you held its head.
Considering the general direction of his Daveness's links, The above comment would be on topic 40% of the time on the main blog.
Generally men would use the below parameters when describing what consists of a sexual opportunity ...
"Eight to Eighty, blind, half-crazy and not dead over three days."

Higgy! For shame!

Igloo... Disgusting!
Posted by: Tamara | March 01, 2005 at 08:25 AM
Eleanor and Tamara...Yes, we tend to go for that "one last time". Mostly because we think there won't be a next time for awhile :)
Now the blogettes turn to confess...I know from experience that women also sometimes try for a "one last time".
Oh...and "Tamara doesn't like clowns" pass it on.
(ok, that felt so lame after I realized everything I could have done with "posse")
Posted by: Joshkr | March 01, 2005 at 08:26 AM
Yes, Josh, especially since I spelled it with a "y". Tsk, tsk!

Pass it on - "Tamara doesn't like going to the circus"
Posted by: Higgy | March 01, 2005 at 08:33 AM
Oops - I meant that to be:
"Tamara doesn't like going to the circus because of the clowns"
Not to mess anyone up or anything

Nice try Joshkr - part confession and part b.s. -
You go for "one last time" to see if you can!!!!

Tamara- Obviously Mr.Baker doesn't like Insane Clown Possies either, I mean just look at how many times he cheated on Tammy Faye.
In other nudes, I've not once asked for a "last timer". Been given one though.
And Following Moatleads
Fisher: Yello! Um, hey, excuse me, but that's spelled Fishair, a-i-r. *trying to conceal girggles (girlie, giggles)*
Taxes: Shut your pie hole smartass. And take your refund before I go back and "correct" some "errors".
Back to Risky Business.......

Congrats Wolfie!!! *pins HTML badge on Wolfie*
Hey wait! Have I done this before? Have I been duped into doing it again? Oh well...
*happily badging and groping*
Hmm..."Tamara doesn't like shiney possey"?
Posted by: Joshkr | March 01, 2005 at 09:17 AM
You haven't been duped into re-pinning. The last was for linking.
But feel free to grope on.
*shines bolding badge*
psssttt "Tamaras possy is shiny and scares the clowns" pass it on
Posted by: wolfie | March 01, 2005 at 09:22 AM
Pass it on - "Tamara does the hustle"
Rhealist: Present
Taxes: The only way I enjoy doing taxes is to sit up the night before they're due, drinking copiously, then making a bloodsport-style mad dash to the drop off zone, scrambling over the bodies of those who didn't quite make it. In other words, haven't started.
Posted by: rhealist | March 01, 2005 at 09:22 AM
MAD Here
Taxes Already got my refund. Already spent most of it on bills
Yes my life is really that boring except when its not. When its not is mostly when weasel is around.
Posted by: Mad "about Weasel" Scientist | March 01, 2005 at 09:25 AM
Tamara's a hustler?
Posted by: kibby F5™ | March 01, 2005 at 09:26 AM
"Tamara hustles clowns with her shiny posse" pass it on
Uhoh...I gave Wolfie multiples...
Posted by: Joshkr | March 01, 2005 at 09:26 AM
Re: Roll Call
Just: Here, but not present. Or is it Present, but not here? *pout* I WANT A PRESENT!
*confusing self*
Taxes: Well.. we did get a refund... but after rent at 2 places, and a security deposit, and various other moving costs, the only proof is our bank statement showing that at one time there was an alleged refund present in our account...
Di: I didn't watch it per se, but it was on in the background since we don't have cable/sat yet... only local stations. However, I missed the verdict. I thought she chose that jerry guy... this is what the Herald had to say about it....

'Bachelorette' shoots down two proposals
Associated Press
NEW YORK - "Bachelorette" Jen Schefft received two marriage proposals on the ABC Monday night finale, but didn't accept either. Schefft wavered between Jerry and John Paul until the very end. Both suitors popped the question, but Schefft denied John Paul and asked Jerry to wait so that she could be sure.
In a live show following the episode (which had been taped nearly three months ago), Jerry again brought out a wedding ring, but Schefft told him, "I think that we both came to the realization that we were better as friends."
After a shocked crowd gasped, Jerry relented, telling her, "I love you for that."
Earlier, Schefft, 28, told John Paul that "something is just not there." John Paul took the difficult news well, but blew off some steam in the limo afterward, saying he felt "betrayed and fooled."
A new season of "The Bachelor" with actor Charlie O'Connell (brother to Jerry) premieres March 28 on ABC. But questions of the reality series' staying power remain. This installment of "The Bachelorette" has drawn only around six million viewers each week.
Likewise, the flame of romance has also faded. Of the nine couples brought together on "The Bachelor" and its female counterpart, only two remain together.
Trista and Ryan Sutter married in December 2003 after being united in the first season of "The Bachelorette." Byron Velvick and Mary Delgado from last fall's "The Bachelor" also remain a couple.
Schefft had previously appeared on "The Bachelor."
