I tried to be one once and I lost my flip flop in the toilet. I took that as a sign. Yesterday I spewed coffee and now juice. You bunch are going to cost me a new keyboard. And since I will not pay for one that means I have to ask DH for one out of his stock. And he will want me to explain how all this liquid keeps hitting my keyboard. Maybe I should buy one of those plastic slip covers they have for them.

Oh that's a good one I often plate dh's food and take it to him, he takes out the trash and I've never mowed a lawn. It's a funny thing. As the single mother of two boys I have never delineated chores based on traditional gender roles. If it needs to be done, it gets done by whomever looks like they need something to do. But on the other hand, there are some of those traditionally motherly roles that I relish doing. I love cooking for my kids-one may set the table, but I always plate and serve them. I love waking them up with a cup of coffee, making them breakfast, and a whole host of other things. I was like this when I was married too...gladly and happily taking some of the traditional 'women's work.' My theory was always that because it wasn't expected, that I got to pick and choose what I liked to do...it makes it a-okay. That's my thing too, it's ok, because I'm deciding when and what I might not take out the trash or mow the lawn, but I can hang drywall and tear off a roof!!

don't think I ever talked to my 3 daughters about the facts of life or gave them any instructions about that subject. I gave them a book. Just like my mother did me. However, I did find out later (much later) that by the time I gave the younger ones the book, their big sister had already told them everything in the book.
They never got arrested or pregnant before marriage. They all swear to me to this day that they were all virgins when they got married. And they are way to old to be lying about such a thing. I kind of halfway believe them.

Hi my name is Cindy and I am driving around with an apology on my car. I made two signs, one for the front and one for the back, explaining that the foreign car I am driving is a loaner while my Chevy is in the shop for body work. I am so embarrassed to be driving a non-GM car. Not only because I work for GM but because I believe in the products we produce. There, I said it. I also have chimes and will soon have bird feeders in my yard. Guilty. I'm sorry, but this makes me laugh Me too. I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to post. Thanks for doing it for me. Is it almost wrong that I would kind of like to see said car with apologies? I'm weird, I know.

This thread rules!
My name is Chris and I have a velvet painting hanging in my house. A gift from the in-laws. I'm used to it now and it's actually kinda pretty....
I have been known to have a glass..or two...of wine before five o'clock. Helps with art appreciation.
I judge people on their spelling and grammar skills, or lack thereof.
DH and I have been known to run to make it in the door of the Golden Corral buffet before the senior lunch special ends at 4 pm. Hey, drink is included......
OK that's about all I can share before alienating everybody!

Oh my ex hubby and I used to drink like fish. I didn't think I could drink that much but once I got pregnant I gave up the party lifestyle. He was mad that I didn't go back to drinking every night. Hmm. Ok then!

Want to be a party girl who drinks and smokes. Yes really. But I'm an introvert, and those don't go together, lol. And smoking is gross, but I'm sure if I was drunk at a party I would want to grab someone's smoke. I grew up in a smoking house and hate the smell though. I'm a weirdo.

My name is Sue, and I used to send my DD off to high school with a thermos of coffee (chocolate-flavored) in the pocket of her jacket, so she could drink it on the bus. I have two bird feeders and a suet feeder on the back porch. The squirrels get most of the sunflower seeds, and the ground is a mess with the seed hulls, but I don't care--I still get to enjoy seeing the birds at my back door. The only car that gets bird poop on it is my own. I'm a hand flusher--that's what the sink and soap are for. Oh, and my next door neighbor has wind chimes, and they don't bother me a bit.

My name is Ingrid6 - please don't whistle, hum or chomp gum anywhere near me - it's like the screech of chalk on a chalkboard. I have a Bouvier des Flandres named Baritone (that handsome boy in my profile) and I happily take him to the drive-thru at the bank for dog treats and Burger King for plain burgers

I think the drinking definitely helps with the introvert partying. I can attest to that. I just began barhopping at 30 years of age! So far I can drink up to two drinks before I am sliding off a barstool. But this introvert has the entire bar laughing and hanging on my every word! Miracle!

No no...your parents win! I do not use AOL as my browser!! DH laughs every time I give out my email address though. I've had the thing for 16 years..I'm not giving it up unless I have to!

Hi. My name is volt. I wanna keep spreadsheets but I'm too lazy, tired, or distracted. I refuse to confess to any other pea sins... I'm blonde; not dumb. I wish someone really was crazy enough to keep spreadsheets. There are so many things I would like to cross-reference like: Are footflushers the ones who put the remote in a hotel a baggie or do more hand flushers? Footflushers vs hand flushers...who pees in the shower? freerange parenters (for lack of a better term) are they the ones who feed their kids uncrustables? This made me LOL.... I read the final question as "are free range parents taking the moral high-ground when really they're just kinda lazy?" Do you have a hypothesis? I've been home with a sick kid for two days straight and am nearly bored enough to do the research! (Nearly)

I'm Ms. Liz. I love my crocs flipflops, I bought 3 gnomes and returned them because DH didn't get along well with them, I don't own a crockpot but I have a spiralizer that's been sitting in a box unopened since last year? when you all convinced me to buy one, and I had a vulture sitting on my roof last week.

My name is scrappower and I sometimes place large orders at the drive through and check to make sure they are right before driving away. Why? Because I am disabled right now and I can't go in to order and making dinner isn't always an option for me. I'm Pagan and worship skyclad whenever I can.

Hello my name is Jen and I have a big headache. I'm working off of 4 hours of sleep and I want to sit down and put my feet up but I have too much to do. And I have checked out of ds10 schoolwork. I am tempted to take his word that he is ready for tomorrow's history test. But I can't. I know better.
