How LE keeps him up all night is between LE and CG ...

Which, after all, is why he is up all night in the first place.

I seem to be a "switch-hitter." I'm not sure if this is complimentary or not...

Not that I'm going to get all lachrymose about it, in either case.

While I was at cubicle hell, I successfully pirated "Genius loves Company" and four Beatles Albums.

This pirating thing is still somewhat new to me and I am enjoying the hell out of it...especially because I usually buy my music (vinyl) at thrift stores and garage sales, or I check them out from the library and copy them--my albums are frequently "popcorn orchestras."

Top Ten Pickup lines for Pirates

10 . Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?

9. Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm?

8. Come on up and see me urchins.

7. Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you.

6. I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon.

5. Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole?

4. How'd you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?

3. Ya know, darlin’, I’m 97 percent chum free.

2. Well blow me down?

And the number one pickup line is …

1. Prepare to be boarded.

A translation...

In order that we might all raise th' level o' discourse an' expand our language abilities, here be th' daily post o' “word fer th' day”. Rules: Sea dogs an' land lubbers must leave a post usin' th' “word o' th' day”; in a sentence. Th' sentence must, in some way, relate t' th' news o' th' day. Th' Review threads be linked fer yer edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

There may be something to the analysis.

At least it picked up that I was "speaking" first as a female, and next as a male.

Either the author of the Gender Genie is capturing an essense of the feminine vs masculine characteristics, or possibly just analyzing the action being described.

Either way, I'm pleased to be accused of such flexibility in my ability to express myself!

That is a highly erective tie. (Er, effective. No. Rather, subjective.)

Yes. A very stiff, very effective tie.

Wow!! You have been through a lot!!. I know the frustration with having a cat or dog seize, and not being able to find a definitive cause.... Phenobarb, BTW, can work wonders, there if they can't find any serious cause, or if there is no focal reason why seizures may occur..

May I suggest that if those pains in your arm, including the numbness don't go away quickly, that you get an MRI of your Cspine....the problem can be at C 4/5 and C5/5. The other possibility is that you "stretched" the nerve in your upper arm, and that it will take some time to recover......

As one who has been thru 8 spinal surgeries total, I know exactly what you are going thru, and you are in my thoughts and prayers!!

Isn't FReeping while drugged fun, though???????

Isn't it?? Boy, that takes me back.. now, I was an Altar Boy, and served Mass on various occasions, and I still enjoy hearing that..

Believe it or not, I had to serve Mass recently... nobody showed up to serve, and a few of us "Old Heads" got up and served, I also acted as Lector (I went thru the course at St Charles Seminary for that), but I don't do it (act as Lector) on a regular basis) because of the problem I have kneeling and getting back up with a cane... my antics (I can wind up like a turtle) would provide a great deal of humor to the congregation...LOL... Anyhow, we got up, and served the Mass. The priest was delighted.
