Distract JP

Oooooh, look! Shiny thread!

(hoping this works for 10 days...)

oooh! look who's here!



ok, it's a small photo, but it's all could find. No jokes, please.

Have a great idea? It can't be worse than these:

Trained Scavenger junkie rats.

Warmest mittens.

Now, stay with me on this one... Low-Wattage Rasterized Scanning Toaster.

Bored at work? Why not play Desktop Sandcastle Siege?

I really can't think why NASA hasn't snapped this one up. Glowworm powered spacecraft.

*waves hands wildly*

HEY JP! OVER HERE! LOOK OVER HERE!

LOL! Thanks everyone! Don't distract too much, we haven't gotten her on the plane yet! I'm taking her to my parents' house in a couple of hours and then the plane leaves this evening. I think that's when I'll start looking at the links!

MrA! You found the Wizard!

Thanks again! Don't feel you have to limit yourself to cats, I'm an equal opportunity animal lover. ;o)

Ah, so tonight is when we need to distract you!
*rubs hands together in the manner of one constructing fiendish plots*

Wooo, well took me a while to get to the bottom of this thread...I got so distracted by the shinny beginning

OK. The plane is in the air. I'm going to be pretty distracted with my other two until 6:30, but then I'm going to be able to sit down.

And think...

*deep breath* People fly every day. People fly every day...

Every single day! 8) Concentrate on your jealousy of all the things she'll see. 8)

Did you hear about Carnival Skittles, jp?

I'm on Skittle's main site and have to distract my kid sister from the main page - talk about seizure-causing possibilities - but this page is pretty funny to see. You can grab the cars racing by.

I don't see the kind I'm looking for there. Wikipedia found it, though. Skittles Candy Cores are the weirdest things. I had some last month.

Every single day!

I'm in chat in you want to come in and distract yourself there. Just remember... um... yeah... I got nothing.

I have read all of MrA's links. Not sure I'm understanding how the low wattage toaster could be low wattage considering everything it has to do.

Spanish Animaniacs! Thanks Ren!

If you're still there Espy, I'll be in soon.

What kind of distractions are these? JP is a grown woman! Here, JP, I know he is one of your favs. (And cat will be fine.)

*waves to LG* Nice picture. Let me examine it closely.

I'm in chat if you want to say hello!

In a bit. I'm at work right now, but leaving in 4 minutes.

Hi JP glad I could help with the chat distraction.

Here are some soothing fluffy bunnies.

Bunnies!

I think cat is supposed to land some time in the morning, Italy time. Then they immediately start to tour. I think they're starting with the Spanish steps.

Bunnies!

hey wait, those bunnies look evil...

Only one of them...

Besides, he's only a little bunny rabbit...

This little cutie should distract you for a few moments.

I just got a quick call from catbastet. They are in Rome and they're really tired from walking all day. :o)

I want to thank all of you for the distractions and for everyone who stopped in to chat. It made the time pass quickly. *Hugs to my wonderful friends*

I'll keep everyone updated about her adventures!

Yayy JP! I'm glad cat got there alright! and that the other guys distracted you for some time in the chat :D!

I'm glad cat and your mom made it there safe and sound! :)

*hugs back to jp*

Yay! Tourism 8)

I had a longer talk with Cat. She called at 6PM Italy time.
The plane got in at sunrise.
It was a beautiful morning and they immediately started touring Rome. She saw the Pantheon, St Agnes' Church, several fountains and obelisks, and the Carcella (I know I'm probably spelling that wrong) Bath House.

The weather got weird in the afternoon. At the Piazza Navona, it began to hail. When they got to the Trevi Fountain, there was a thunderstorm. They waited it out at a gelato stand. Cat thought it was funny how men kept coming up asking if she would like to buy an umbrella, because she was sharing my mother's. Every time she said no, they lowered the price. LOL!

It's hailing here, too.

Perhaps they'll eventually offer her an umbrella for hardly anything at all! ;) I'm glad cat's having a good time! :)

Edited because I can't spell.

Yay for cat. And for JP surviving so far. It was fun chatting with y'all last night.

I love #34. So cute!

#40 -- That must happen often in Italy -- I think my parents bought umbrellas in Rome when they were there a few years ago!

Disapproving bunnies!

hmmm, need more rabbits:

...can't...stop...bunnies...too...cute....aaaaaagh!


I asked for a Honeycrisp.
You've brought me your death certificate.

Hahahaha! I didn't even know there was a LOLbunnies! I wonder, is there a LOLreptiles, LOLamphibians, and LOLfish? *wanders off to google.*

LOLinsects?

Warning! Horrible things happen when you don't listen to me. I'm editing this to avoid corrupting young minds.. I must wash my eyeballs now.

And my mind.

JP, that almost makes me want to know ... but I think I'd really rather not. I'll heed your warning.

LMAO - that is the most disturbing thing I've seen in my entire life. It took me a few moments to figure out what it was.

Emotions: disgust, shock, horror and amused.

This kitty didn't heed your warning.

Hahahaha! I did warn you MsD!
Lefty, please don't be tempted. It's not worth the nightmares. 8-P

I have to go - I can't stop laughing and I'm scared I'm going to do myself some damage.

note to myself: ALWAYS pay attention to JP's warnings and don't be so curious....I'm disgusted in so many ways (and I know JP you did warn me but the curiosity got the best of me)

*narrows eyes* I'm wondering if I should just edit my messages since you children don't know how to listen.

There. That's better. :o)

Nothing to see here. Move along!

I think that would be the best idea....but looking on the bright side (I'm an optimist, can you tell?) that certainly distracted you didn't it? LOL

I listened! I didn't look! *polishing halo*

I didn't listen.... I am going to have nightmares for months. I really need to learn how to listen.

darn internet blockers.

oh well, this will have to do for now.

Just three little words for Bella, JP, MsD, Bib and I: Scarred For Life....

ETA: include bib and to say OHH The Humanity!! The Humanity!!

*sniffle* I haven't felt this way since I accidentally viewed Mapplethorpe's work. I apologize to all the people I've freaked out tonight. I should have known that a warning would make you climb over each other to see.

Ummm....you can add me to that list too Ron.

Et tu, bibi? Here, let me change the subject.

Speaking of cats, have I mentioned our house is overrun with cats?

Hmmmm.....maybe you should get a bigger house....one that's not plastic perhaps?

If you look through the balcony doors, you can see my husband has passed out from cleaning the litter box.

LOL! I wouldn't have noticed the passed out man, I'm glad you pointed him out.

Where does Cat keep her yarn stash? The closets must be bigger than they seem.

#63 jp:
KIK! I love that picture. :)

Hmm. I missed the opportunity of being scarred for life. Should I feel left out, or be grateful? ;)

Here's a distraction. Great + ful = what spelling? My computer says 'grateful,' but everyone at my house thinks it's 'greatful.'

Grateful! be very grateful!

I second that Ron.

#67 -- That's actually a really common spelling mistake. I don't know how many people missed it on the basic proficiency test when I was a writing tutor. English is weird….

This box is gratefull:

K! Be very very grateful!

#71: MrA ROFLMAO Grateful hahahahaha

I can't see any pictures!! And I missed out on being scarred for life!! Boo hiss boo, I miss everything. Grump. :-(

Nooooo LadyN you REALLY don't want to see that! TRUST ME! and Bella and JP and Bib and MsD!!

I missed it too. :(

Me too.

Thank goodness! I was worried I had corrupted everyone.

About grateful, I also find it interesting that a term that could mean "full of annoyance" (grating) actually means "full of gratitude". ;o)

Yeah, I'm a word geek.

People trust us when we say you don't want to see it. Oh god I'm laughing again - I just can't stop when I think about it, I think I've broken my laugh controller.

Can't blame us for wondering. ;)

I'm going nuts because I can't get in touch with cat!!!

I'm in chat, if you need distracting.

This is suitable for all ages, i promise!

...well, mostly.
