It was! And so was my response to him :-) Apologies for those who don't know

us well enough to know we were joking. Sorry :-(

I'm really, really tempted to make an irritable comment right now to

perpetuate the joke, but I'll refrain! ;-)

Margaret,

I'm afraid your last withdrawal on the account of my patience has

bounced. I've had enough of this discussion.

You know, this list has so MANY " debates " which are often

rather intense (and enjoyable if you enjoy debating) ... once

in awhile they get personal and some people are more annoying

than others ... but mainly they are debates. I kind of think sometime

we should have some REAL nasty fighting just to give a measure

of relativity.

Step AWAY from the wheat, barley and rye! Keep your hands where I can

see 'em, and back away SLOWLY!

Who Shall Be Running Far and Fast ... just about now. Unless somebody

wants to fight. *puts up her dukes* G'head, g'head. I coulda been a

contendah! :-D

If I have to be a grownup, can I at least be telekinetic too?

[Guest guest]

Oh. I forgot to mention. In the hopes that the telekinesis will follow

along properly like it should ...

Anyone got some nice Yukon Golds I can have so's to fry up in that nice

lovely lard? How 'bout some late-season strawberries? Man O man, I

didn't get enough strawberries! Hmmmmmm ... I'll trade some rhubarb for

your raspberries in a week or two!

Just let me know what you have available, and I'll lift 'em right out o'

there for ye.

LOL! Of course I was joking! Why would I need to insult you when

you've already dug yourself in pretty deep?

You know, that reminds me...I've been on a certain list

for almost a year in *total* lurk mode soaking up all the great posts

that people have gone to the trouble to write and recently there have

been some heated debates that have really made my lurking totally,

like...uncomfortable...so I was thinking I should just post a reminder

to these irritable peoples that they need to stop being so irritable!

Cause you know, it's messing up my lurking!!! And why should *I* have

to go to the trouble to use my delete key??? You know??? So like,

think that's a good idea?

Said with a bunch of :) and a bunch of ;) !!!

So why dont I offer to buy you a cyber NT beer or margarita? Let's let

bygones be bygones! How about it?

Best,

I'm surprised you're still at your computer, stirring up dookie,

instead of off somewhere playing with your kettle bells.

Dear ,

Stirring up dookie? Ew. I leave that to the little blue men inside

the toilet that make it flush and make the water come back.

In any case, I'm on my gym cycle now. I go to the gym for two

months, than do my kettlebell for 3 or 4 weeks, and I just finished a

kettlebell cycle the week before last. So it's back to squat,

deadlift, bench press, dumbell inclines, barbell arm curls, weighted

dips, and pullups. Around here the gyms are all closed at 1 am.

Besides, I was in my overeating phase last night, so going on the

computer or watching tv is the easiest thing to do while eating.
