I like to snuggle at night too - so the cold air and ceiling fan are needed.........

[tomkat]

It was in the headline on this one, but looks like the mods fixed it.

He only got a ribbin' from me cuz I made the same blunder here, but worse.

[xsmommy]

oh i did see that, i wonder how he did that bc i sent him the template that i use and i NEVER did anything like that!

[xsmommy]

so it wasn't necessarily an offensive pic, more just an obnoxiously huge download?

[NautiNurse]

All I saw was a huge gray pic 12287 x 12287 pixels.

[tomkat]

i NEVER did anything like that

Bless your heart^©, of course you haven't !

[tomkat]

i'm guessin' it was prolly both...

[xsmommy]

i dumped out as soon as i felt it start hanging up, and my better sense told me not to click on something titled WARNING CLICK HERE, FR UNDER ATTACk, but i just couldn't stop myself...

[tomkat]

but i just couldn't stop myself...

Yup, been there, done that + tshirt
_{(multi-leveled lol)}

[NautiNurse]

WARNING CLICK HERE, FR UNDER ATTACk

LOL! Didn't see a warning like that when I opened the thread this morning.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Well, yes.

But NaughtyNurse has been known to "exaggerate" things at times....

[xsmommy]

i thought that was the name of the thread???

[NautiNurse]

Not the one I saw this morning. It was a benign thread where defibrillator had pinged everyone who had posted to the huge jpg.

[xsmommy]

i can't find it, i think it must have been pulled.

[NautiNurse]

Can't find it now either, and I cleared my cache to get rid of that huge file.

[Jack Deth]

Good day, xsmommy:

I don't care for Tim Russert one bit.
He's annoyingly, brusque. Lacks humor and wit.
A Talking Head who seems to enjoy ambush.

Relishing his gig, exceedingly cush.
If you don't share his opinions,
He'll instantly get in your face.

Though, if you do, he'll lob
Plump and slow soft balls.
His arrogant ego is part of the job.

The King of Liberal Media minions.
I'd love to see his hair on the walls.
Courtesy of Condi, or the elegant Laura Bush!

[xsmommy]

yeah, he irks me too! A+++

[Dan from Michigan]

woman has three preteen/teen daughters get knocked up within months of each other and she finds someone other than HERSELF to blame???

From what I read, it sounds like one of the "dad's" is 38 and lives with mom and pa. Sounds like a real winner.

[xsmommy]

probably around the ostensible mother's age, she might like a crack at him herself.

[secret garden]

He IS Mr. Potato Head.
