...have sat all afternoon updating a website I use for my students and checking in on LT. not sry.

maggie - Our theater has $5 Tuesday with a free popcorn, so there! I'm going tonight with my friend to see Prince Caspian, I'm abandoning my family without making dinner. Not sry.

ooooo, free popcorn.....

oh, well, I really don't like their popcorn anyway, and not sry

I don't either, but I eat it because it's free. Should be sry, but I'm not. :)

MrsLee, have you seen the Seinfeld episode where Elaine wants her punch-card for a free sub sandwich back from some guy because she had eaten like 7 horrible subs, but now she wanted her free one, which would also be gross, but it was free.

Though I would eat the free popcorn too. Popcorn is at least a top 5 favorite food. And I'm not sry.

Planning to be a shortlist judge on a short story competition to raise awareness of arthritis - me and friend looking forward with gleeful anticipation at all the trash that will come in which we can roll about laughing at. Not sry.

Looked at the weeds growing in the garden, looked at the strimmer, then decided to read a book... am I sry... NAH!

#36 Holy crap, when did that come out!?!! I'm going to Borders tonight and I'm not sry!

#39 - I pre-ordered from Amazon and they shipped early, it's not supposed to be released until the 12th. It's brilliant so far, though!

#40 Pre-ordered Kushiel's Mercy for delivery on Friday. Not. Sry!

ETA: Thanks, lbw!!!

Read an article to my teen son which prompted him to swear, which I usually frown on. But, it was really funny (both the article and what my son said). Not Sry!

(here's the article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080604/ap_on_fe_st/mooning_mishap_5)

Decided to take the day off of work, sip wine, read, and watch all 43 videos on the Eurovision site. Not sry.

Played Madonna really loudly (Ray of Light) to drown out idiot drumming in upstairs apartment. Nice, loud bass. Not sry.

Sent the kids out to play so I could have a few minutes alone on LT. Not sry.

First week of summer vacation, slept in each day and took a nap. Not sry!

had to get up an hour earlier to catch the right train to be here for a 'team breakfast meeting' (8am on a monday!).
Surfed the fora most of the afternoon as brain is now v. tired. Not sry!

Took all my son's dirty clothes out of the laundry before I washed it because he called me a jerk when I wouldn't go pick up his socks off of his floor. He can do his own laundry. Not sry!

Stayed up late watching Serenity, and now a little overtired at work. Not sry.

*high five MrsLee* who's the real jerk, eh?

I keep saying, someday.... Well, he apologized, but he still has to wait until the next wash day. :)

Pshaw. Make him do his *own* laundry. And yours too.

Apparently my husband started doing his own laundry of his own accord at 10yo. I'm hoping those genes have been passed on to our sons :o)

My ex-fiance (there's a great reason he's my ex) lives at home at 27 (he's a lawyer, and apparently can't 'afford' to live at the house he bought, which has tenants in it). His mother cooks his meals, does his laundry, and probably wipes his nose when it runs too.

*fumes*

You go Mrs Lee...teach him what for...

Dumped ex-fiance and married better guy - not sry!

63>

Wash that man right out of your hair, and send him on his way!

I have problems doing laundry because of my disorganisation problems, which is a genuine issue I have with washing clothes, instead of being lazy. Even Phoenix Wright would probably do his own laundry, and he's a laid back video game lawyer!

As for me, I played New Super Mario Bros. for two hours last night with some minigames on the side. Not sry.

But at least I wipe my own nose, Severn, in that respect I should be seen as a prime catch!

Tell me you know how to cut bread with the sharp end of the bread knife too.

He doesn't.

(He's long gone dear...but an appalling, pumpkin soup-spilling, bad-driving memory)

Spent too much time on LT today when I should have been doing more constructive things. Not too terribly sry.

*high five MrsLee*

AS the mother of 4.. 3 of them boys... I say WELL DONE!

#64: ...And now that song will be stuck in my head for the next week. Curses!

I spent WAY too much time reading and playing online during my month off.....not sry

I should seriously be studying very, very hard for my finals next week, but I finally caught up on reading all the threads here. Not sry.

Had two big bowls of Cocoa Pebbles for dinner. Not sry. I will be in an hour or so.

When we were first married, and I was moaning about the trials of a working wife, Lee told me to teach him my most hated chore and he would be responsible for it. Well, I lived 34 happy laundry-free years! Now I have to do my own. :-( (Not high on my list of Bad Things About Losing Lee, but oddly aggravating.)

Played an hour of Guitar Hero for the first time yesterday instead of doing laundry - not sry.

Made an impulse buy on Amazon. Third order this week. Not sry.

Gave my son a buzz cut for the summer. My mom will be miffed. Me? Not sry.

Ate the last piece of choclolate in the fridge for breakfast. Not sry.

Took a cab to work this morning instead of the bus. Got to sleep in for an extra 45 min. NOT SRY!

I sat on the couch for the last hour while the kid was asleep, eating popcorn, ignoring the dryer and washer both full of clothes, the dishwasher that needs to be emptied and sinkful of dishes that need to be put in, the floor that desperately needs sweeping and mopping, to:

watch the Ellen show from the DVR!

really not sry!

Just had a bowl of peach ice cream. Not Sry!

Spent the day garage saleing (sailing?) instead of doing library work. Not sry.

I just ate ice cream too. Not a bit sry.

Took a chocolate ganache cake to a dessert-only birthday party. Ate some of everything. Not in the least sry.

Bought a picture book for $30 because it was really beautiful (The Arrival by Shaun Tan). Not sry at all!

That book looks and sounds fascinating Will.

Spent most of Sunday playing The Witcher instead of doing chores. Not Sry.

Yesterday, I bought a greeting card just for the attached magnet of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Today, I'm sitting at work and doing combining/separating instead of actual work, and I'll probably dash out early. Not sry.

Eating all the chocolate ice-cream. not sry.

Spent the morning swimming all by myself instead of washing clothes and dishes. NOT sry!

eating a chocolate fudge cookie ...make that 2...not sry

I was trying to share a goofy website. . .Probably most already know it. The address kept disappearing! OK one more time, then I'll quit! Try to find icanhascheezburger.com I guess I'm not too sry

Skipped dinner, went to the used bookstore instead.

Not sry.

#90: icanhascheezburger is my daily bread. :)

I enjoy that site too!

Should be working on writing my article, but instead I'm lurking in the GD. So not sry.

Should be doing dishes...not sry

Decided not to cook tonight. Ordering take-out. Not sry.

Cut through the grounds of the local mental health hospital while walking home. Did not buy the plastic bag full of loose tightie whitie underwear offered to me for sale while passing through. Not sry.

....

You, Mr Groo, have problems.

How could you pass that up? Everyone needs more gruds.

Didn't read yesterday. Needed a break. Not sry.

I am truly a weirdness magnet. The guy approached me going "Shorts? Shorts?"

I smiled pleasantly and said "Yes, I am wearing shorts, they are very comfortable."

He held up the plastic bag full of loose underwear and said "Shorts? $15 dollars? Shorts? $15 dollars?"

As politely as I could I smiled and said "No thanks, got plenty."

Does this sort of thing happen to other people?

Not exactly....

I was waiting for a bus two days ago when I guy walked past and said:

'Can I be naughty and say the buses are on strike?'

??

Hm....what else weird has happened.

I have a bit of an evil eye when it comes to 'weird'. One look at me and they usually scarper. The 'f... off' they get in their face if they come too close, despite the evil eye, works too. I guess it's a self-preservation thing. I'm not a mean person at all - I feed homeless people sometimes and things, and look after animals - I just don't like weird, potentially-threatening people in my space yanno? They give me the heebies.

That gruds guy would have terrified me hehe.

A friend of mine and I were walking around a lake after dark, and a man barreled past us on a bicycle and said, "Beware the chupacabra!"

Perused LT when I should have been writing a paper thats due tomorrow. Not sry.

Because of this thread, I was looking at canhascheezburger.com , and just when this pic was up:


more cat

The BIG boss came around to have a chat to me about work. I mean the biggest boss, not just the everyday one. And the whole time he was talking, the bottom part of that pic was showing on my screen.

I gotta say, I AM sry. :(

#103 - That sucks. Like really...it does. Sry. :(

>99 mrgrooism: MrGroo I think some people are just magnets for weirdness, but they are often because they are a really good people person. Me, I am more likely to have my head down trying not to make eye contact... but being offered underwear in the aslymn grounds, that is weird

> 103 It is amazing how big bosses instinctively know the wrong time to come and talk to you....

Hah..I once sent an email out with the word 'lesbian' in it (can't recall what the email was about) and three days later got called into the boss's office...

IT had received an alert that I'd sent out an email with 'inappropriate language'.

??!

Fortunately my boss was fine with it. How insulting to all lesbians out there!

Stern IT Voice - I'm sorry, but your sexual orientation is a Dirty Dirty Word. ~smack on hand~

Oops, forget to add:

Thanks to certain threads here I had to go out and buy Hokey Pokey icecream. Not sry one bit.

Should be writing a poster for a conference that's due tomorrow and a full thesis plan that I haven't started yet .... instead, reading The Body Artist and lurking on LT. Not sry in the slightest!

Severn, I know hokey pokey good -we had some Kapiti Hokey Pokey for dessert, not much Hokey Pokey, but it was still good.

Not sry

I never make the bed. Not sry.

#110: Nor do I. Not the least bit sry. (I was one of those kids who asked Mom why I should make up my bed if I was just going to mess it up again that night. This is an argument that still makes sense to me.)

Exactly! Talk about a huge waste of time that could be spending cuddling.

I eat cookies for breakfast on Saturdays. Not sry.

Took the kids to an expensive amusement park today because we're stuck on vacation in the middle of nowhere and I was tired of hearing them whine about being bored. Not sry.

Don't have any kids. Not sry!

I also found that website. Spent oodles of time chuckling. Not sry.

Watched Sense and Sensibility and had TWO bowls of ice-cream. Should be sry, but not.

oh yeah, littlegeek. NOT SRY either!!! Childfree, baby!

Edited to add comma for clarity. Just use your best Austin Powers voice for that last bit. : )

Childfree baby!

That had me confused for a while...

I went to the food store for some forgotten odds and ends. I bought 3 kinds of ice cream. Not Sry

Had *real* milkshakes three days running while on vacation. Not sry

Played classic board games Mnply, Prchsi, Lfe, but not Sry.

*groan*

Am reading New Moon so I can have fun discussing it with my 14-year-old instead of reading one of the 6 ARCs waiting to be read and reviewed.

Not sry.

I just drank two cups of coffee with creamer and sugar. Not sry.

I avoid 40% of the phone calls I get in a day... sooo not sry!!!!

I ticked off the teacher in our room by arguing with her about taking one of our students out today. She has significant lung disease, and it is an orange action day... my asthma kicked into high gear, and she wanted to take the kids to the playground ( Whick has a black rubber floor and no shade) it is in the mid 80's.The rest of the kids had to go. ( ye goddess)

She was ticked, but I stayed in with T. Not sry.

Instead of going home after work to do laundry, vacuum and pay bills, I actually left work early, got my bikini and towel and went to the public swimming pool to sunbathe and enjoy what was supposed to be the only sunny and hot day this week (they say it'll start raining and get colder again tomorrow). Went to eat dinner with friends afterwards.

So not sry.

mckait - maybe this should be in a PM, but as a former chronic and severe athsmatic I'm on Advair and Singulair now and have been symptom free for 3 years. I even leave the house without albuterol because the ones I have are 2 years old. 5 years ago that was unthinkable.

Maybe it will work wonders for you, too.

Thank you Bookmarque. My asthma is not sever so far, and not chronic.. I have problems when there are chemicals in the air, and in certain weather...I have gone weeks without problems. A big problem for me is getting kids off of th e buses when the air is very cold, or very hot.. the buses build up noxious fumes and it laid me out today.. no breathing, headache, cough...
bleh

So far the albuterol works great. I appreciate the info though! And I am glad you are having good results with the meds you take.

Oh, gotcha, very different triggers than I have. Good that it's a mild case as well. We had no good drugs when I was a little kid in the early 70s and sometimes I had attacks that lasted 24-36 hours. Once I went into respiratory arrest and flatlined. Had pneumonia. Lung infections. Hospital stays (once on Christmas - damn that stupid tree). Major suckage. So glad for good drugs now. Even if I didn't have health insurance, they would be worth the price.

Stayed up all night - going on 25 hours of awake time, just so I could screen the Dark Night at the theater I work for after we closed last night! So not sorry now - but I will be around noon when I still have 5 hours of work left....

Spent $400 that I really don't have to take my 12-year old baseball-obsessed nephew to the All Star Game.

Not sry.

(that's just for the tickets, forget the concessions!)

Mrgroo, I am impressed by your generosity. Hopefully, it will be a wonderful memory for the nephew. You are a cool uncle.

#133 Groo - That was wonderful! I'm sure your nephew had a great time.

The funny thing is, it was a three-part cool day. Part 1 was the All Star Fan Fest at the Javitz Center, Part 2 was an invitation only pre-game gala at Randall's Island with Joan Jett and the Black Hearts and the Village People, Part 3 was the All Star Game.

He was having so much fun at the Fan Fest that he made the mistake of whining about having to go to the Randall's Island Party. Man, I stopped him in his tracks, turned him around to face me and said

"You WILL not whine. You don't HAVE to go to the party, but since I am going to the party and then right to the All Star Game, you can either leave now and come with me, or stay here with your mom and miss the All Star Game completely."

He wisely shut the hell up, heee heeeeee!!!

Oh! And he had a blast at the party, so not sry!

But: DID YOU STAY 'TIL THE END?? Be honest!

That is the $64,000 dollar question. Did you?

Actually, we hung around for an hour after the game, LOL!!! And he was awake and excited for it all!

groo, you rock. Will you be my honorary uncle?

Came back late from lunch because I was watching an episode of Mad Men. not sry.

Hey, gang, there's a party going on in that thread about 100, 000 posts. The fun is flowing.

Bagged work to visit with family I haven't seen in 10 years (and some I haven't seen in over 20 or at all). So not sry!

>#100: what do you feed the homeless people to?

>#97: one day soon, you're going to be standing in your bedroom, fruitlessly looking for clean underwear, and you're going to go, "why, oh why..."

#143 - Hmmmm, that reminds me, laundry tomorrow!!! LOL!!!

Groo - I was thinking of you while I watched that game with my parents, hoping you were there and enjoying it. :)

already did mine. . .just back from cat-sit. . . now? Sniff (dominoes with husband)~~~what a busy life

I started unpacking boxes. When I unpacked my essential diving equipment - mask, snorkel, fins, wetsuit - I stopped unpacking.

not sry

*Edited to add that I went back to unpacking and even cleaning out closets. Not sry I did that either.*

read a Regency romance straight through this afternoon. Not sry.

143 - Wouldn't that be "Y-fronts! Oh, Y-fronts!"?

I've lazed luxuriously in bed almost every morning for all of July, reveling in each moment free of the slavery to the clock that is my usual lot. Avoided unnecessary housework and cooking. Gloried in the joy of reading whatever the heck I wanted to rather than the economics texts I schlepped home back in June (b/c I have to teach a basic econ. class next January -- ugh! doubled!). NOT AT ALL SRY!

Or to quote a classic favorite of mine: "I did nothing at all today, and it was everything I ever thought it could be." Heaven.

BTW -- did any of you also have parents and teachers who thought reading for pleasure was "doing nothing"? Did you get in trouble for reading when you could have been doing something "constructive", like building an igloo out of used carrot cans or creating a baking soda volcano or scrubbing the shower tile grout with a toothbrush? Just wondered. Those old tapes still run once in a while in my head.

#150 - Me! Me! Frantically raising my hand!

I had a teacher express concern to my mother once because I was getting so many books from the library. I was always very active in school (clubs, cheerleading, softball, basketball), but apparently too much reading concerned this teacher!

I have been known to give extra credit points in math or social studies for reading and testing over books from the suggested reading list. Ssshhhhh....don't tell the other math teachers!

ETA - For those concerned that I may not be teaching math appropriately, don't be! If a few points added to a homework assignment or quiz gets a child to read, then it's worth the effort! NOT sry!

I spent 3 hours today bathing and grooming my Duncan.....
I am exhausted,but not sry....

I am cat-sitting without money changing hands. . . not sry

lovin' on kitters is its own reward :)

unless you are literally sitting on them... not cool.

Bad teacher confession: If I find a student reading a book behind a textbook or when he or she should be doing something else, I don't usually say anything. I'm just thrilled to see someone reading for pleasure! Not sry!

I love that Hobbit Princess!

In HS, my chem teacher would encourage us to do drawings on the edges of our papers. He had a thing about creativity... I have never forgotten how it encouraged me to do better in his class...

yay on you~

Stayed up to finish 'You suck' by Christopher Moore. V. tired but not sry!

Ditched a nonpaying client today. He's not going to find anyone competent to help him with his issue before time runs out, but he's continually stiffed me on payment and that's on him. Not sry!

Stayed up till the wee hours watching Heroes Season 1 on DVD, a show I completely missed before cracking open the DVD! Tonight I start Season 2 and expect to be bleary eyed with little sleep this morning, too!

Not sry.

#150 - actually, my parents told my Mom they were torn by the fact that I read voraciously, but had issues with getting my homework done.
They didn't want to tell me to quit reading, but they Really Wanted me to do my homework!
*grin*

Did 4 years of college, made some good friends I still talk to, didn't actually get a degree.
not rly sry. don't like homework. (I Did pay off my one student loan, though)

Should be packing to go back up to college. Instead was told (today) about this site, am totally distracted, and adding books instead of packing. Not sry. (at least not now. Might regret it when I'm finishing packing at 3am, lol)

Heh. You'll fit right in...Welcome!

Welcome Muirrian! Welcome to the world of procrastination and distraction. ;)

Groo - So glad someone else does that! It's nice to have bleary eyed friends. At least the Heroes seasons are pretty short. I was almost a zombie when I had to catch up on all the Stargate series!

Spent three hours on the phone last night with my best friend instead of going to bed. Not sry one bit (though I might be when the phone bill comes... XD )

I just posted a NastyGram at the "Political Conservatives" group. Not sry.

lol @ 166

I just spent 180$ on two pair of Haflinger shoes.. because they are good for plantars faciitis. not sry..

After wearing one pair for two hours, I can feel a difference.

I also came home with a lemon merangue pie. I will be the only one home for ten days. not sry about that either.

Spent close to £100 in manchester today,
£20 for my sisters birthday
£28 for my brothers birthday (Six books of which I will read them all, not sry)
£17 for my friends birthday
£3 on cards
and...
£17 on a model of serenity
£28 on books for me
Not sry.

*Note to self: Slow down when reading posts at night*

For some reason, I got the idea the mckait's solution for plantars facitis was new shoes and lemon merangue pie.

Actually, those two ingredients should cure most of what ails you.

I can see them curing my problems, easily. Of course, I have to confess most of my problems are easily solved.

merry.... you were right those things were a great solution..!

These are seriously great shoes. They reduced my foot pain almost immediately.
A piece of pie and later a coke with coconut rum didn't hurt either.

Bought books. They're gorgeous. Not sry!

Went out and bought new clothes for Katie and new shoes for me. Spent lots of monies. NOT SORRY!

Leaving for France this morning, also spending lots of money, also Not Sry

Have fun Maggie!
