I think prick or bastard works as the male version of a very disagreeable person.
True. Yet, men only ever get called a prick or bastard when they are being truly obnoxious and disagreeable. Women get called a bitch for things as simple as refusing an offer to dance or holding someone at work accountable.
1/7/2011 #62 ReportI said Shall Not Be Named.
I was asking because, if it was, I wanted to apologize for not speaking up if I was involved. I don't recall the incident, but...

Well, that's a whole 'nother discussion. LOL
1/7/2011 #64 ReportI can't remember who was involved. Anyway, if you have anything to apologize for, it wouldn't be that. But I don't think we need to warm up those old incidents again.
What needs to be warmed up, however, is my pillow. Good night, all.

And yet, you just deliberately did so.
Never mind. My attempt to be civil with you is obviously not well met. I knew it would be a mistake and I foolishly attempted it anyway. So we are clear and for the record, I have absolutely nothing else that I wish to apologize for to you, Virtuella.
Sorry for the drama, Randy. I'll just collect my hat from the coat-check and be on my way.
1/7/2011 #66 Report*sigh*
Imma pull a Rodney King and say, "Can't we all just get along?" I would really like to bury that three year old hoo-hah.
Meanwhile, I was just over at A&E's Hoarders message board trying very hard not to use offensive socioeconomic slurs like 'redneck' and 'poor white trash'.

Apparently not. :P

Pie, don't go! I love to see your black kitten around! She makes me smile every time!

Meh. I may have over-reacted to the post. There is just something about Virtuella's syntax and word choices that grates the wrong way with me. Always has done.
But, assuming it's a Pie issue and not deliberate on Virtuella's part, unless I specifically hear otherwise from her, I'll take what she said at completely face value and no longer read 'barbs' into her posts.
1/7/2011 . Edited 1/7/2011 #70 ReportYou know, my Midnight looks a lot like that. She has become quite the lap cat -- after a full year with us.

I'm sitting here with one cat perched on the arm of the chair and the other draped half over my arms and half over the keyboard. It's hard to type around a swishing tail.
1/7/2011 . Edited 1/7/2011 #72 ReportI'm alone at the moment. Usually they like to flop on the keyboard and hit F-keys. I've had some strange stuff happen.

Well, I guess the strange weather here must have really freaked them out over the Christmas holidays. When I got back, they didn't even pretend to give me the cold shoulder. They both have literally been all over me whenever I'm home.
1/7/2011 #74 ReportIt's cold here ATM. We can almost gauge the temperature from the number of cats on the bed. Not Midnight yet, but she has come into the bedroom and looked like she might jump up onto the bed,so it's only a matter of time.

They make some nice,cozy warm spots. Basteet has taken to sleeping with his head resting on my ear. It must look like an extremely odd earmuff.
I assume Midnight is a black cat? Was she feral?
I'm out to dinner. Night.
1/7/2011 . Edited 1/7/2011 #76 ReportMidnight is black. Not my name -- we got her from my son's girlfriend's mother, who was moving up north and didn't want to take her. It was us or the shelter, where she'd have been toast. She wasn't feral, just very poorly socialized. She spent most of her life down in their basement avoiding dogs. To make matters worse, she hadn't been spayed, and five years of estrus cycles had left her with benign tumors that made the spaying difficult and risky.
She got over it, and she's pretty much doubled her weight. She's still shy -- I'm the only one who can touch her.

When I lie in bed watching TV, Rumil likes to come and lie right on my chest with his head against my cheek like a furry blindfold. LOL

Sorry, Randy. I mentioned the thing in the context of the discussion and carefully avoided giving any details as to who and where.
Pie, I have no objection to being civil. You spoke about apologies and I mentioned that this was not what had annoyed me about you. But I'm happy to move on.

My favorite book of the Bible.

Now you've given me an "Earwig" (tune that sticks in your head).
1/8/2011 #82 ReportWhy does that not surprise me?
I dunno. It certainly is one of the most poetic and philosophical. And it's not railing at me for being unrighteous. I also like the Song of Songs, but that one has been done to death.
1/8/2011 #84 Reportto Virtuella: Here, we call it an earworm.
to Randy: What, no love for Proverbs?
1/8/2011 #85 ReportAnd it's not railing at me for being unrighteous.
Just for your information, no book in the Bible does that, because none of them is addressed at YOU. :P
Me, I'm rather fond of the books Exodus, Amos, Mark and Luke.
1/8/2011 #86 Reportto Randy: What, no love for Proverbs?
They're okay. In fact, I've even used a few as epigraphs for a story I was trying to make FFN-compliant. The Bible is for certain in the public domain. LOL
1/8/2011 #87 ReportFairly sure...I mean, God hasn't sued for copyright violation.
God knows he'd have ample evidence of misrepresenation, libel and slander over the millenia. He'd have court dockets clogged with suits for eternity.
