Happy you all back atcha.

The other thing about writing is that no one interupts you. I'm very bad at this myself, in person. A lot of times I'll jump in and finish a sentence for my slower friends, which is rude I know, but why can't people be as fast as me?!

When you write, nobody interupts you.

I'll take an XL. Can you send it thru the US Postal Service. I like the guys in blue as opposed to the guys in brown. How much is it? Free to the founder of this thread (that would be me) I'm sure.

Men who are confident about their sexuality are not afraid to wear ..... light red.

Jimmer...LMAO! One of my male coworkers drinks out of a Hello Kitty cup, just for that reason.

Didn't Mocha get it passed that aubergine is the official site color?

I have found with Instant Message that people with fast fingers can interrupt you. That's why I prefer message boards...where I can actually type at leisure. I type rather quickly and let me tell you, that gets me testy!

Me too. I got rid of my IMability when I got the new computer. It was interesting at first, but then it became a bother. A person can just as easily email you or if it's an emergency they can call.

The kids are so into the IM and what's that other thing...text messaging. I don't even have a cell anymore.

Free and
pink would be fine with me. I'm like Jimmer, secure in my sexuality :-)

I hate being interrupted.

I don't like telemarketers either.

People should just email.

IMs are too intrusive. It's like the pop in on Seinfeld. Who likes that? Can't they call first before coming over so you can vacuum and straighten things up?

I like IM for my friends who live in other states but when you live across the street either pick up the phone or walk a few steps for crying out loud.

I absolutely hate telemarketers. I can't understand why someone can use a phone that I pay to have to sell me something so they can profit. I even resent the opt out lists....I think there should be opt in lists instead. If you don't mind telemarketers calling, you can sign up for them to call, but unless I give you permission, leave me and my phone alone.

And political candidates shouldn't be allowed to call me without my permission either. Especially the recorded messages....at least in the old days the candidate sometimes called themselves.

And I am the same way with regard to door to door salesmen....if I want you to visit, I will invite you.

I'm not as hard on drop in friends, though I don't quite see the point in it. Call first. It makes it easier and more comfortable for everyone. Why should I have to explain that it took me 5 minutes to get the door because I was running around the house naked?

I'm not a big fan of drop ins either.

With respect to IMs, if you have your IM turned on, I would assume that you are open and willing to receive messages. If not (you are busy or occupied elsewhere) you can always turn it off. LOL - usually I forget to turn mine on!

IMs can be a great way to quickly exchange a bunch of information that would take a longer time via email.

I agree, Jimmer. I keep mine off unless something has been prearranged. I do that because I got so tired of a couple locals friends who wanted to chat on it non-stop. I do not IM with local people though as it costs nothing to talk on the phone and I can do so many other things and talk on the phone at the same time. I can do nothing else and type IMs at the same time.

my aquapet, Hammy:

ha

ha

they are very hard to find as they are so tiny - as you can tell since these pictures were taken by my mouse. i only found Hammy at Toys-R-Us here in Savannah and there were only 2 of him. they were not on a self but on an end of the row hanging thingy - like what Matchbox cars would be on. the employees told me that they had a lot of them earlier this year but they had been long gone.

it chirps and is noise activated once you have 'woken' it up. it dances by a sting pulling it on each side. otherwise, it's unremarkable.

Hammy is cute! Somehow, even though we read the specs, I thought it would be bigger! So it doesn't vibrate or anything, huh?

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank koolade made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because .... WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computer! s, no Internet or chat rooms....... WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! If YOU are one of them . . . CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good . And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!
