The cam drinking is on for tonight. So, get ready to watch us get as trashed as possible on a bottle of Cisco. I want witnesses who are honest, (OMG and I'm asking you guys?) so I don't have to listen to the roomie make up outlandish crap if I black out. I mean, look at all the shit he made up for the blog war.
So, look for me on cam later this evening. We didn't set the time for the drinking, but it will start when [blog neveragain80] gets here.
I've done a test and you can't link to me in the Hags United chat room unless you go to the group and join. I'm not trying to force activity on the group, just use it to keep trolls and troublemakers to a minimum. So join for tonight and hit the chat room in there.
If you're there at the start, it might be the last time you see me sane.

Tentative Drunk On Cisco Information

OK, so I'm a bit late in putting up the information.
Tonight is the night. [blog neveragain80] is to be my drinking partner. So, unless something comes up, we shall be swigging Cisco on cam for all you fine folks.
I am thinking of using the Hags chatroom, simply because it will keep out trolls. We'll be dealing with enough assholes simply because the cam is on. When the public rooms are used, these assholes tend to follow you in when you ignore them on IMC. Did I mention that both us ladies are PMSing and won't have a bit of patience for assholes and fucktards?
With luck, I'll be able to stay awake for it. It's nearly 4 AM and the teenagers are still awake and blasting music. At least the phone stopped ringing about an hour ago and they've stopped screaming as they play Halo. I don't know how the roomie manages to sleep through this. I know I'm not getting any sleep tonight. Er, I mean this morning.
So, that is the tentative date for the Cisco cam. The stuff is supposed to energize those who drink it, according to everything I've read. Now watch me pass out after two sips...

I took a horror quiz at Empire Online. There's one out of thirty stills I just can't get. I've posted it here and with luck, the powers that be won't delete it.
I can't figure out for the life of me what movie this is from. It's not from any of the Texas Chainsaw movies or any of the Friday the 13th movies. I'm stumped.
So, I'm hoping one of you is a horror junkie. If any of you want to see the full test, it's at Empire Online, with a commercial domain. Then a slash, features, another slash and screamtest. Or of course, if the picture won't go to full size.
I'm really stuck on this one. HELP!

My Junk Mail Follows Me

Remember the days when you moved and you were rid of junk mail? They didn't update their database unless you contacted them and asked them to change your address? It would seem times have changed.
In 2004, I ordered a few things from a catalogue. I never ordered anything again. But I got at least two catalogues a month from them after that. I figured after a year, they'd stop. But no. I got catalogues until the day I left NJ.
I thought I was rid of this junk mail. I was wrong.
Yesterday, the mail arrived and was put on the coffee table. I recognized the catalogue just from the bottom that was sticking out. I hoped I was wrong. I wasn't. I hoped it was addressed to the roomie. It wasn't. It was addressed to me, with my current address.
It was a catalogue from The Vermont Country Store.
If you've ever ordered from this company, you know what I'm talking about. You are never rid of them. I had ordered online, so I was getting email from them too, which was sent right to trash. You'd think they would have gotten the message and stopped sending catalogues. Right?
I don't understand the mentality of a company that will change your address in the database when you haven't ordered in over three years. Or how the hell they found me.
If you've never seen their catalogues, this is a company that carries hard to find items. Things that were popular years ago, but have fallen off in popularity. If you're looking for Lollipop granny panties, or Evening In Paris cologne, this is the company for you. I ordered because they actually had Teaberry gum and a cold product called Boreleum.
The worst part is, I need some Boreleum, which is far better for colds and stuffy noses than Vicks. You can use it on chapped noses, chapped lips, etc. It opens the sinuses right up and isn't toxic. I wasn't thinking when I tossed the half used tube before moving. But they only sell it in pairs and their price for two tubes is $15 plus shipping and handling. So I'm probably better off trying to find some family run drugstore here in Tulsa or some general store that still carries it. It's hard to find and places like CVS and Walgreen's don't carry it. But if I do end up ordering from this company, how much longer will I be on their mailing list?
Have any of you had unwanted junk mail follow you? Have any of you finally gotten rid of catalogues from The Vermont Country Store after ordering once?

It would seem I was an hour behind all day. Yep. Windows and all the other electronic gadgets around here got their clocks reset overnight. Which would be fine and dandy, except for the fact Bush signed a bill this year that changed Daylight Savings Time. So I've been an hour behind all day.
The only reason I know that I've been on the wrong time all day is because the roomie went out to run a few errands tonight and when he got back, he announced it was after 11. "Not according to the clocks," the and I said.
But it was true. One look at the World Time Server told me the truth. It was after 11.
After that, I asked a few people what the actual time was. It would seem they've all been fucked up today too, thanks to clocks with chips, computers, PDAs, cell phones... All of these things reset at 2 AM. There doesn't seem to be a fix for any of it.
So, how many of you went around today thinking the clocks that had reset were right?

My kidnappers have finally posted their demands. They say the ransom has to be paid in four and a half hours, or more of my hair is going!
Please, go read [post 1084242]. Negotiate with them. Don't let me go bald!
Oh and they plan on hoarding all the chocolate. So bring me a few pounds too? I mean, I know Halloween is coming up, but I bet they don't plan on sharing even ONE of those bars with trick or treaters or the Demon Spawn.
Help me, please!

Kidnapped!

I had planned on a day of answering comments, doing laundry, getting some work done and doing a post about Sunday at the state fair. It didn't work out that way. The knock on the door came this morning. The next thing I knew I was being tossed into the back of a minivan and taken several hundred miles away to Houston.
I've been kidnapped!
If you see JetSetPets this couple, they are the culprits. They are armed with dangerous twins. I repeat, they are armed with dangerous twins. Approach with caution. I hear the twins can be distracted with candy.
I'm told they're going to return me at the end of the week. But I still don't know what their ransom demands are. But I hear it might be Star Trek or rAmen related.
Stay tuned for further developments.

The Great Blog Blackout!

I could feel the IMs flying this morning. People asking their friends if their latest posts were visible yet. People bitching about the blogs being stuck. People begging others to entertain them. The blogs were stuck. Yet another blog blackout.
I noticed this morning when I woke up that nothing had posted since the night before. I checked back every so often. I could feel the anxiety building among my fellow bloggers. Let's face it, we and the chatters tend to be the dateless wonders of the site. So for this to happen on a Saturday...
Finally, the Spanish server blogs posted. That's normally a sign of progress. That the blogs will be moving again and soon. The Spanish language blogs tend to be followed by the French, German and (I think,) Japanese blogs. Something I don't have a character set for on this computer at any rate.
But then... Even the Spanish blogs got stuck!
No French! No German! No weird character set I can't read! By this time, it was time for the Cubs to lose and the blogs hadn't updated in 18 hours. I could feel so many of you suffering flop sweats at that point.
Sometime while the Cubs were sucking the blogs started moving again. I think this is the longest blog blackout there's been on this site. Normally they get it fixed in under 12 hours.
So, how did all you addicts cope with no blogs for at least 20 hours? Did you dip into the Xanax? The Vodka? Did you run down the street naked screaming how you can't take it anymore? Did you find a corner and curl into a fetal ball rocking back and forth waiting for the blogs to update? Did you actually visit another website? Read a real newspaper? A real book? Or do you actually have a life and didn't even notice the blogs were down?
How did you all cope?

The Great Sock Challenge

The other morning as everyone was getting ready to get out the door, I listened to the roomie bitch about how he never has matching socks. That there isn't ONE pair of socks that match in this house. I had to say it. I said, "I know there are matching socks. I bet I can match a bunch up if I wanted to."
Then I said, however, I wasn't thrilled with the idea of having to explore the inner sanctums aka, their rooms, to find the socks. Both of their bedrooms scare me. Just the smells emanating from them. I'm afraid of what causes those smells.
Well, I was told that was like saying, "I can beat up Mike Tyson, but I don't want to. He lives in another state and I don't want to go there."
In other words, the challenge was on.
As I wasn't in the mood to listen to, "I told you you couldn't do it!" I got to work. I started in the living room, looking under furniture. Then the bathroom and hall. Then the inner sanctums.
The first thing I noticed in the roomie's ever so scary bedroom was the box of Tampax half in and out of the closet. Yes, it's official. He DOES get his period and the evidence is sitting in his closet.
But I had to look. As soon as I opened the closet door all the way, a vicious dust bunny attacked me! I shut the door and decided that if any socks were on the floor in there, they weren't worth the effort. I think there's a portal to the fourth dimension in there anyway.
Then I searched the floor, under the bed, under the bureau, I left no floor area unsearched in my socks quest. Then, as I was standing up and hit my head, I noticed something.
I was duped.
He left his sock drawer open. Ha ha ha. He KNEW I would rise to the challenge! Asshole. But by this time, I had gathered most of a basket of socks.
Next, to the washer. I washed a load of all navy and black socks. It filled 3/4 of the washer. No wonder he can never find matching socks.
Then, as I was feeling so unclean, I had to take a shower as they dried. Then, I promptly forgot about them until everyone was home.
Well, I gathered them up and started matching. But it was getting dark by that point, so when you're doing all dark socks, it's hard. I gave up after matching five pairs.
Yesterday, I matched up another dozen pairs. Then I got bored and did something else.
Today, I finished matching what I could in the basket and decided to see what matched in the sock drawer. I just grabbed everything in the sock drawer, as it was all just thrown in anyway. Threw them on the bed and got to work. I was learning something men need to learn. When you buy packs of black athletic socks, they match a hell of a lot easier when you turn them all right side out.
After that realization, I was being ever so confused as to why there were so many single unmatching women's socks in there. Then I saw it...
WTF are my panties doing in his underwear drawer? What sort of sick bastard do I have for a roommate? I could understand if they were a cute, lacy pair, but these are those period panties. You know, the ones that are going in the trash as soon as we finish menopause. We all have them. The material around the elastic is frayed, there might be a run or two, we keep them because we don't care if there's a mishap and they get a bit bloody. It won't hurt them.
So, I took a break from matching socks and IMed the roomie at work.
Me: Dude, WTF are my panties doing in your sock drawer? I feel so unclean now.
Him: Chances are they found their way in there when the boy put away my laundry.
A likely story. I knew my underwear was disappearing around here, but I didn't know it was because the roomie has some sick,perverted underwear fetish.
So, I picked them up, using the tips of my fingernails and dropped them in with my dirty laundry. I'm taking no chances. I finished matching socks, threw the ones that can't be matched at the moment into the basket and took a shower. I'm not sure the ones in his drawer were all that clean anyway, as my hands felt sticky after. Perhaps it's a good thing I didn't inspect those panties too closely.
So, after all that, I did what any woman who feels violated and unclean would do. I took a shower.
But it got me thinking. My bras are disappearing. One I miss especially, as it's one of my favorites and it's not a cheap crap one either. It's an Aubade. I just figured it got knocked off the line in the garage, trampled and some wild animal ran off with it. Or it got worn on someone's head and abandoned somewhere. But now I wonder...
I'm scared. Someone hold me?
