Fanny | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 07:25 pm     1. I got a speeding ticket yesterday; first one in 10 years. Ack. 2. I was doing 46 in a 30 and was paying no attention whatsoever to what the speed limit was or how fast I was driving. 3. I deserved it (although I did gently and subtley happen to mention that my ex-husband trained the guy who wrote me, but to no avail). 4. I'm worried about Squared. She hasn't posted tonight and I fear she is out stalking somebody out of frustration. 5. I had my fireplace converted to a gas fireplace yesterday and it is toasty warm downstairs, but cold as h*ll up here in the bedroom where my computer is. 6. I think I am hypothermic. 7. My boyfriend's children are spoiled and act like rich kids with entitlement issues. 8. That thought sort of accidentally came up in a recent conversation with him. 9. I am in so much trouble over that comment you wouldn't believe it. 10. I don't really care. 11. Except he gives really good Christmas presents, lol. 12. Today was my first day back to work after 10 days off and I am tired. 13. I drove the speed limit or under both to and from work today. |
Urgrace | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 08:22 pm     1. I have so much to do that I cannot get it all coordinated 2. I'm very organized at work 3. My family's needs almost always ruin my good intentions to be organized at home 4. Today I managed to buy a smaller Christmas tree in hopes of warding off danger to my kittens and grandchildren 5. It was fun shopping with Spy at my first after Thanksgiving sale 6. We both bought new karaoke machines 7. I got one karaoke CD especially for the grandchildren's enjoyment 8. I enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner vicariously through Weinermr's description of his and now am craving turkey 9. I need to change the water in my fish bowls 10. My cat Buddy has decided to take over the huge dog house we built last year for the boxer we gave away 11. Buddy caught his fifth rat outside yesterday 12. The rats have gotten into our attic 13. How do you get a tiara collection? 14. I won a tiara once |
Shoofly | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 08:24 pm     Loving this thread 1. I hate having my picture taken! 2. I am addicted to decorating and crime/detective/legal shows 3. I have two grown children, neither is married and neither have children of their own...may never at this rate, but, that is OK with me, somehow. 4. I think this is the best discussion site around, although I have a favorite political one that I go to everyday, several times a day...mainly Canadian topics. 5. I dedicate my yard to wildlife and birds, especially, and find the experience very rewarding. They can be quite the characters. 6. I love to garden and I do it without using pesticides. 7. Let me die with a paintbrush in my hand and my walls completely done. I love to paint and love to investigate colors and combinations. 8. I was an RN and burned out. 9. Now, I have a business with my husband of 32 years. Wow, that sounds long... long road to learn how to get and keep it going smoothly. Well, most days....I work with him, remember. He has learned to yield; I have learned to know when it is best that he doesn't. 10. I was farm-raised and love anything to do with country living. 11. I worry now about the extreme climate influences on farming, particularly the drought on the Prairies. 12. Christmas preparations seem easy after the fact and I need to find that same spirit beforehand, somehow. 13. I have to cover this number and one more. 14. I love to drive pickup trucks and that is all I drive now. 15. Pressure is on, I need to find one more since I was too slow in line....that is rarely an issue; I usually put things back and return when it isn't so busy...but, this is a friendly line, so I will stay. |
Whoami | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 10:25 pm     1. I was waiting till the list got small again, so I wouldn't have to post as many. 2. I decided to challenge myself and give it a try any way. 3. I am convinced I have a poltergiest who loves to harrass me. 4. He/she does so by following me around and swatting things out of my hand. 5. The first time I talked about him/her, I was at work, and a manager was trying to put together some parts. He kept dropping every other part, and I told him a poltergeist was probably standing over him swatting the parts out of his hands. He looked at me like I was nuts. 6. After I told the manager my theory, I went back to my own seat, only to start dropping every other part I picked up. 7. After a half hour had passed, I went back to my manager, and asked him if he'd dropped anything in the last half hour, and he said no. 8. I told him cause the poltergeist was over bugging me now. 9. I'm cheating by making most of my posts about my personal poltergeist, but I figure it's okay cause other people have had several numbered things on the same theme too! 10. My poltergeist was bothering me big time tonight while I tried to fix and eat dinner. The whole dinner almost ended up on the floor. When I saved that, I think it ticked off my poltergeist, so he/she kept knocking things off my fork, and a roll out of my hand. 11. Usually, when I've had enough of my poltergeist's pranks, I exclaim, "Will you leave me alone now!" It usually works. 12. I figure, if I'm ever placed in a nursing home, this might cause a problem with the staff, and I may end up getting a psychiatric evaluation out of it. 13. I've run out of things to say about my poltergeist, and still have 3 more numbers after this one to say anything. 14. This should go without saying, but other people have used it in their lists....TVCH is my favorite site. 15. I seem to have a problem keeping my numbered lists to one line. 16. I made it to 16 after all!  |
Mssilhouette | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 11:03 pm     1. I'm starting to think we're just telling stories by numbers. 2. It's like a TVCH (just wanted to get the brand name in) bulletin board. 3. I am raven haired. 4. I took off work after a 4 day holiday cause I was sick *koff koff* but I really just wanted a day to be lazy. 5. I have silly thoughts like your belly button is someone's microverse and to them you are God. "Oh praise the one in which who's belly we reside" 6. No one should be without a Jibber Jabber. (Look it up on ebay) 7. My BF is supposed to get me one so I can shake it silly. 8. I have a 12 pack of colored Sharpies markers in my desk at work. I have the big box of 96 crayons at home 9. I do not have kids, unless you count my BF. 10. I recently read the original Frankenstein and learned that the Monster was extremely articulate. 11. I have brown eyes 12. I have run out of things to list so I will try and think of something but don't hold me to it. 13. I'm almost burnt on on reality shows...almost. 14. I know all the winning lottery numbers just not in the right order, or on the right day. 15. My birthday 12/22 my BF's is 1/22 so our born on dates are exactly 30 days apart. He is also 3 years older than I am. Woooooooo 16. Whew um err ahhh I can speak in several different accents yet I cannot speak any languages. 17. I like popcorn Jelly Belly jelly beans. |
Kady | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 11:11 pm     1. I loved reading about Who's poltergeist!! 2. I wonder if it was unlucky for her to post 13 things about her poltergeist? 3. Like Shoofly, I am addicted to decorating shows. 4. I credit(or should I say blame) all the TVCHer's that post in the Trading Spaces threads for this addiction. 5. It is raining here. 6. I really should go to bed since I have to work tomorrow. 7. I watch too much television. 8. I have never seen the Sopranos. 9. I have also never seen Sex in the City. 10. My favorite new show is Everwood. 11. I have just started watching That 70's show this year. 12. I don't know why I never watched it before, I like it. 13. I didn't feel like getting the Christmas decorations down from the attic. 14. I stopped and bought a $10 fiber optic tree from Dollar General last week. 15. It has quit working and now I have to return it tomorrow. 16. Holidays really depress me!! 17. I am having a really tough time with the whole holiday season. But I know I am not alone. I have all of you here to lift my spirits. 18. MsSilhouette beat me to 17 so I am adding this to keep the #'s right. |
Sia | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 04:35 am     1. I'm typing up my Christmas card list this morning. 2. I haven't found a white sheet to put under the tree yet, so I haven't wrapped any presents. 3. The sheet is needed to protect the white underside of the quilted tree-skirt I made) from the floor. 4. I scrubbed the wooden floor with Murphy's before setting up the tree, so the floor is clean; I'm just a perfectionist. 5. Martha Stewart is neurotic, imo, and she hasn't helped my perfectionist streak. 6. I stall out on a project if I can't do it exactly the way it should be done. 7. A bad habit I have is choosing a cute gift for Christmas, ostensibly for someone on my list, then deciding to keep it for one of my kids!! 8. I tend to buy items in multiples to avoid this problem. 9. I don't believe in poltergeists, Who!! 10. A 'poltergeist' can't have any power you don't give it. jmo 11. My husband's aunt says our house is haunted. 12. I've never experienced the phenomenon she claims happens upstairs here. 13. I've only been upstairs in my house about a half-dozen times. 14. I'm not ALLOWED to go upstairs. 15. The upstairs is full of junk. 16. There are dead people's clothes in all the closets. 17. I really want to throw away all the old furniture and junk in the unused, unheated rooms in my house. 18. I will not be allowed to do this while my m-i-l is alive. 19. We've had many, many arguments over this issue. |
Schoolmarm | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 05:45 am     1. I am taking a sick day today to rest and grade papers (maybe). 2. I still truly believe that this semester will end before I get all the work done. 3. Only a couple days of classes left and a week of finals (I CAN make it through). 4. I don't know why I'm posting at 20, I should just wait until it goes back down. 5. I have not had a Christmas tree ever since I moved to Pennsylvania, and I won't get one this year. 6. I do not own an artificial tree, either. 7. Last year I hired students to string up the outdoor lights. 8. I bought a new printer for $39 after rebate. 9. I have burned out three or four printers in the last year and a half printing out my dissertation. 10. I don't care how long this one lasts, becuase it was practically free. 11. "Angels we have heard on high" is my favorite Christmas Carol 12. My favorite cities in the world are Munich, Minneapolis and Manhattan. 13. I was raised in a small town and live in a small town now, but I prefer living in/near a city. 14. I hate driving two hours to get to an airport. 15. My kitchen is currently clean (!) 16. I have two book bags full of papers to grade, and am hoping to get that down to one VERY SOON! 17. I have had Whooping Cough...it is HORRIBLE. 18. I got Whooping Cough when I was in Guatemala and lived in a Maya village with "Gilligan's Island-type" huts and no electricity. 19. I love a good adventure. 20. I used to play the saxophone, now it resides under my bed. |
Heyltslori | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 06:51 am     1. Fanny's "except he gives really good Christmas presents" line cracked me up and pop (that's Michigan for soda) almost came outta my nose. |
Moondance | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 07:05 am     1. I don't believe in cutting down a tree for Christmas commercialism. 2. I decorate a large potted Northfolk pine every year and plant a tree with 'The Tree People' here in LA. |
Justme | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 07:59 am     1. I bought a black turtleneck yesterday at lunch. Got home, hung it up and realize that I now have 12. I've got to stop buying black turtlenecks. 2. I only drink coffee at work 1/2 cup a day. 3. I have a "Greenpeace" calendar in my work cubicle. |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 08:24 am     1. I have the same addiction as Justme, only with beige sweaters - it's a family joke now. 2. I just ordered four Christmas presents from various catalogs - boy that makes life easy. 3. I have a prominent small freckle on my chin and my mom ingrained it in my head that it is not a freckle, but a "beauty mark." 4. I am jealous because my neice has a beauty mark just above and to the left of her top lip; very a'la Marilyn Monroe. Why couldn't mine be there? |
Marysafan | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 08:32 am     1. I quit drinking coffe two years ago...I still miss it. 2. The first concert I went to was Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. (I know I am a total geek...but I loved it!) 3. I have a Detroit Red Wings Calendar next to my desk. 4. The last CD I bought was Todd Snider's "A New Connection", but my daughter has the new Rod Stewart Cd for me. 5. When I clean the kitchen...I listen to the Bare Naked ladies! |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 09:13 am     I've got my Barenaked Athletics sweatshirt on today! |
Conejo | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 09:17 am     1. I only visit TVCH at work since I don't have a computer at home. 2. I've never got caught visiting the TVCH at work. |
Goddessatlaw | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 09:57 am     1. I'm tired and cranky 2. I kicked *ss in court this morning 3. I need a nap but I'm not gonna get one |
Whoami | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 11:08 am     OK, looks like the last official list was 5, so I'll try 6 (and try not to be bad and tell a whole story!). 1. My mom's work had poltergeists. It location was built where and old graveyard used to be. I'll elaborate if someone asks me to in the "Elaborate" thread. 2. My poltergeist isn't evil. Just ornery. I think he/she has a lot of fun. I think I want to be a poltergeist for a while when I die. 3. I know my two previous numbers were about poltergeists, but they were two separate stories, right? 4. I also don't believe in cutting down a live tree for a few weeks of commercialism. We have an artificial tree. 5. If I were President, the nation wouldn't have to worry about which property or forsest or whatever that I would chop down a tree for the "National Christmas Tree" every year. I'd hire an American manufacturing company to design and build a glorious artificial tree! 6. I have a large birthmark (maybe the size of a quarter) on the calf of my left leg. |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 11:11 am     1. this is day #3 for me and my director forgot about me for a 9:30 meeting. 2. i don't really mind but the work i have been doing since yesterday is really boring. 3. i tried to use msn radio but it didn't work and i didn't bring in any cd's. 4. i loved the poltergiest story. 5. i am thinking of getting a real tree this year but hate cleaning up the needles afterwards. 6. my right foot is swollen and i could barely get it in my shoe and since i am in a staff position i couldn't just wear tennis shoes like i used to. |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 11:13 am     ok have to add another. 7. i used to have an artificial tree but hated putting it together and taking it apart, so much easier to get a live one and throw it out afterwards. sorry to those who don't care for this, i know im lazy. but gotta love me.  |
Moondance | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 11:52 am     1. I vote Whoami for President! 2. I haven't posted in the TV thread but I have been on TV many times. 3. I won the Showcase on the Price is Right in 86 4. I am tired 5. I now can burn CDs a a record speed 6. I have very little patience today 7. I love you Square so go get an fake tree, please 8. They have fake trees that are much easier to put together...even has the smell! |
Marysafan | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 11:56 am     Side note: Don't worry about getting a real tree. It's not like they are going out and decimating forrests. They grow them specifically for this purpose now. It is like growing a crop and many people make their living from it. There are Christmas tree farms all over the place in the north where the growing season is short and not much else can grow. |
Moondance | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 12:05 pm     Still don't believe in it |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 12:44 pm     lol moonie and marysafan. now i don't know what to do.  |
Twinkie | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 12:59 pm     1. Hubby and I had to get up early today to work on the rental property. 2. Hubby has gone to work now and I'm home listening to CDs. 3. I'm sure my neighbors are sick of hearing them as I'm playing them quite loud. 4. I'm listening to the soundtrack for Leap of Faith, Steely Dan, Sting, Doobie Brothers, Sting. 5. I'm singing quite loud to the music i'm listening to and I sound pretty good. :-) 6. My heart breaks for anyone who's lost a loved one since I still miss my dad and he's been gone 10 years. 7. My greatest wish is that I could make everyone in the world happy. 8. I love my husband more than I love anyone in the world besides my daughter. |
Twinkie | Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 01:27 pm     I think we are missing a few who haven't posted here.  |
