No pushing at the door please!
Xsbaby had to be at Reagan National at 5 am today for the senior trip to Orlando, so i am rather lymphatic this AM. Sorry for the late opening.
Lymphatic - insisting on non-rigidity.
is that an alternate meaning also? sorry i am semi-braindead as i have been up since 3:30 am!
Is she going to see the mouse? Sounds like a good time.
ah... ya oughta know by now that I don’t offer up a definition without a pun, however bad that pun might be.
Well, I’m not lymphatic this AM. I am hhot on my quest to complain to the Hallmark Channel about the stupid Shoe Dazzle ad that they ran repeatedly over the weekend. I can’t imagine anything mor family UNfriendly!
But, Hallmark does not make it easy to get in touch with them with a complaint. Enless dead ends and convoluted web sites leading back to THEIR FAQs. I’m hot under the collar now.
I’m so hot that I can’t type. Hhot=hot and enless=endless.
This is the ad that runs in front of the jingle “I crashed my car into a bridge and I don’t care...”. If you listen closely, it starts out with something like “you were gone, or weren’t there” so I crashed my car into a bridge and I don’t care. “I love it”. “I threw your stuff down the stair and crashed my car nto the bridge and I don’t care.” Does anyone review these ads before they accept them?
nope, they are going to Universal Studios, Seaworld, Downtown Disney, a BlueManGroup show, Dave and Busters etc. over the course of the week. Guess they figure they are too grown for Disney.
i know that, but i am impaired such that i can’t even see the bad pun!
i will give you an A+ for effort because the fault is entirely mine!
A+++ maybe Hill is jealous of huma’s hubby!
A+++
A+++ great job, vast.

So annoying! I must have seen it 10 times over the weekend. I can’t imagine the effect on the “fluff-for-brains” teens across the nation. I guess the tune (by Icona Pop, a Swedish group) is very popular, but that doesn’t make it right! I would have expected better out of the Hallmark Channel.
And then to be frustrated at every turn against filing a complaint! Insult added to injury. I’ve got to ge well and out of this house and away from my TV.
i think the song is stupid, but i have never heard it nor have i seen the commercial.
Where is Neo today?
Hillary and Huma are hiding the Weiner?
