Sultan Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I'd like to take a lengthy amount of time to elaborate, but I think the title speaks for itself, so I’ll roll the dice and see what happens here, can we get this post up to 500 replies? or higher... POST a smilie Post a single word Post something interesting Post something ambiguous Post something dull. Who cares just post anything and bring this thread to a 1000+ replies. I'll make a free sig like mine or better for every 100th poster. I reserve the right to ad a disclaimer if the number exceeds 1000 posts, -a good sig could take an hour or two to make depending so I'd best not set my self up to be working on free sigs til the year 2010.

Valkyrine Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I love threads like this. I lurk here all the time. Great board. Hi folks. I'm not good with words, so I'll borrow a few: Make yourself necessary to somebody. —Ralph Waldo Emerson It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto nonexistent blindingly obvious. The cry "I could have thought of that" is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too. —Douglas Adams Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in. - Mark Twain My favorite: I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere near the place. —Stephen Wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kona Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I had blueberry pancakes for breakfast. My HELOC was transferred to another S&L in December. The new one still has to report. I called to find out why two months ago. The answer was "Did you miss a payment?" My answer was "No, but don't you report positive accounts?" I got a transfer to a manager. "It takes time for transferred accounts to report." I pulled TU and EX this AM from MyFico as I know the account isn't on my reports from Equifax CreditWatch. The account still isn't showing up. Must have a hidden tradeline now. I'm almost tempted to take part of the HELOC and pay down some of the credit cards, but I told myself I would not do it for that purpose. Now, the reason some of the credit card balances are so high is that I just used $5000 at a very low rate to pay down the HELOC and save interest. I have $16,000 to go before that HELOC is paid off. Since I only had two small pancakes, I think I'll go and fix myself two more and wait to see what other good offers materialize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flygirrll Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Okay so Kona just made me hungry talking about blueberry pancakes. I have the makings for sausage, egg, and cheese'mcmuffins' in my fridge. I also have a tube of refrigerated cinnamon rolls - hmm, decisions. Speaking of decisions - I am ready to send in my application to open a Roth IRA. But I truly can't decide between T. Rowe Price Retirement (more aggressive) 2025 or Vanguard 2025 (more conservative). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Pam Posted May 9, 2005 Admin Share Posted May 9, 2005 Well I just tried to PM you Valky but guess what... 50 posts here's what the message said for the most part. Subject: 50 Posts before you can PM Content: Better get posting, good to see ya chick! OK I know you can't answer that even if you get this so you need at least 50 posts, That number is no longer 50, it's been changed because of reasons just like this. It was undisclosed in the first place for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kona Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 My cat's breath smells like cat food. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My cat just got the first of his two daily doses of an antibiotic. I'm getting good at getting that stuff squirted down his throat. The first time I did it, he dashed out the door and sped away to hide. When he saw me coming, he made a mad dash around the house with me in pursuit but losing the race. The cat may be 16 years old, but he sure can make a quick getaway.

GotCredit? Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 One time in band camp....oh wait you all already know that story. Once I stubbed my toe on a block of ice....it healed quickly. Men, cant live with them and cant use them for target practice. Some people say I am too desperate when picking up men...who knew walking into bars naked and yelling out "ANY TAKERS?" was desperate? Last man I tried picking up a man I threw myself in front of his car...I didnt think he saw me cause he ran me over but I knew I made an impression when he stopped backed up and ran me over again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you wish you could just hit him over the head with a frying pan or something? That wasn't nice at all. Why the need to buy the ex a RING??? If it's just from the kids he coulda bought ANYTHING (a CARD??). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kona Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Gargoyle, what a lousy day! This is where you get his credit card and go down to the local jewelry store and buy an item. Then you come home, and say, "Honey (ha, ha), look what you bought me for Mother's Day!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angeleyeskkhr Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Has anyone read Fast Food Nation? Was wondering about other people's opinions. I think it's a MUST READ (especially if you're parents!! It'll make ya think twice about taking your 6 yr old to McDonald's). I think it was a great book...a bit biased at times, but *generally* I think it focused less on the politics (except there towards the end..lol). Now, I'm gonna be reading How did you become Mexican: a White/Brown Man's Search for Identity. It sounded interesting, and I think Olivia might benefit from it when she's older. After that I'm reading Black Boy. I *tried* reading The Jungle, but it was a bit slow...I just lost interest (not usual). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddwibb Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend, that you comb through annals of history but not a single annal? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? If you wrote a letter, perhaps you bote your tongue? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another? Have you noticed that we talk about certain things only when they are absent? Have you ever seen a horseful carriage or a strapful gown? Met a sung hero or experienced requited love? Have you ever run into someone who was combobulated, gruntled, ruly or peccable? And where are all those people who ARE spring chickens or who would ACTUALLY hurt a fly? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.
