Hi and stuff.

[LaraMN]

So I'm new. and I'm making a thread. and I feel ok about that. Because you can't beat me up through the computer.
I like nail polish, Marlboro Reds (though I'm trying to quit,) and fuzzy navels (yes, the drink-- don't make that into a lewd question.)
I have never had a cat. My parents had a beagle when I was in High School. She was incontinent and had a ridiculous number of allergies. She was slightly cute.
Ask me something. I love to share. And in all seriousness, I'm very sarcastic, so I hope I don't offend anyone. :hi:

1. Welcome to the DU Lounge

Sarcasm and Snark are welcome here!

[LaraMN]

4. thanks!

Perhaps I can get some of the "snarkiness" out of my system, here. My husband doesn't get it and thinks I'm constantly mad at him. He's such a freakin' wuss.

[enigmatic]

2. Why do you hate America???

God, I've been here over a year, and I've never used that in a post until tonight.

Anyways, welcome:)

[LaraMN]

5. Ohhhhh, the day I can use that phrase will be a good, good day.

Yes, it will.

[swag]

3. Hi. Welcome to DU, and I look forward to your caustic wit

in action.

Be as vicious as you were born to be.

[LaraMN]

8. My best friend once said I had a sweet face and a

"wonderfully nasty mind." I love her. I don't find all that many people who totally get me, and the ones who don't get me REALLY don't.

[swag]

10. Great.

Find the ones who REALLY don't get you and rip their guts out.

[LaraMN]

12. Don't think I havent been tempted...

My last neighbor-- plastic boobed, stuck-up Bush lover with two WRETCHED, WRETCHED offspring (who, of course, my son just looooved.)

[swag]

13. What part of Minnesoter you live in?

[LaraMN]

14. Outside of Duluth.

In a stinky town.

[swag]

17. Oh, home of one of Gore Vidal's stranger novels.

Do you know the poet Patrick McKinnon?

He is probably long gone to Mexico, and before your time.

How did you get to DU?

[LaraMN]

18. Not familiar w/ Mr. McKinnon,

I got to DU via the Kerry/Edwards site (yeah I've lurked for awhile-- on and off.) I generally read in GD, but I'm burned out on anger and frustration and I need a bit of levity. The Lounge seems like a riot.

[KitchenWitch]

51. But you are close to Gitchi Gummi, no?

[LaraMN]

52. Not too terribly far

I'm just aways south.

[KitchenWitch]

53. Cloquet area?

[LaraMN]

55. Very good!

:think:

[KitchenWitch]

59. LOL

Been up there a lot!

[LaraMN]

61. Yeah, it's a hotbed of activity.

For deer and stuff.

[WCGreen]

6. This is where sarcasm was destined to flourish.....

But beware of the cute threads, for they are bewitching.....

[LaraMN]

9. I consider myself forewarned.

:patriot:

[Dave Reynolds]

7. Many of us

are sarcastic.

I will even go as far as to say I'm an asshole.

Welcome to DU, enjoy your stay.:toast: :hi:

[LaraMN]

11. It's a very gray line between sarcasm and assholishism.

What exactly is the state of being an asshole, anyway?

[Dave Reynolds]

16. It's kinda like sarcasm,

but it's puckered and sometimes smelly.

[LaraMN]

19. Sounds like something I followed a trail of fruit flies to, today.

Did you know that potatoes can turn into skins and foul-smelling water? Well, they sure as hell can!

[Dave Reynolds]

23. I have found them under my sink like that,

more times than I care to remember.

[fleabert]

15. very good first thread!

I think I like you!

Welcome to the Lounge! :hi:

[LaraMN]

21. Why thank you.

I feel strangely humbled. Pleas accept my gift of :hide: a rock wall, :hippie: and a yellow hippie.

[fleabert]

27. you are welcome!

and here's a bit of your favorite celebratory beverage!

:toast:

[BamaGirl]

20. Welcome to the Lounge Lara!

:hi: I quite smoking a month ago. It's rough, but you can do it.

Cats...hmmm, best to bring a cat with you to the Lounge. ;)

[LaraMN]

22. I'm allergic, so cats just loooove me.

They're very cute, but it's hard to appreciate their countenance through puffy, swollen, weepy eyes. Yeah, I know, I'm a bigass whiner.

[BamaGirl]

24. Lol

excuses excuses ;) Some are just not meant to be cat people. My sympathies lol :hug:

[auntAgonist]

25. welcome to DU LaraMN

good thread.

[LaraMN]

26. Thanks!

If I were doing this correctly, though, someone would be pissed off at me for something by now, right?

[auntAgonist]

28. it's early yet

:rofl: give it time :)

[BikeWriter]

29. Welcome to The Lounge, Lara! :-)

[LaraMN]

33. Thank you!

:-) I also enjoy bikes. I damn near lost my hmmm... intact-ness on one once. Never ride a men's bike when you're a girl, and if you do, watch the crotch!

[BikeWriter]

42. Well, the bikes I've mostly rode are Harleys, but...

you give great advice! :)

[LaraMN]

45. ah haa haa- see I could never pass for a "biker chick,"

I hear "bike" and immediately assume Schwinn. I have never been on a motorcycle. I did ride on and fall off of a snowmobile, once. I suppose that's not quite the same thing.

[Wapsie B]

30. Welcome to DU LaraMN from south of the border!!

:hi:

:bounce::bounce: :bounce::bounce:

[LaraMN]

34. Hello!

Would it surprise you to know I've never been south of Minnesota? In fact, my family never traveled when I was growing up. When I was eleven or twelve, I met a girl who told me she was from Wisconsin, and I said, "Really? What kind of trees do you have there?" She looked at me like I was a dumbass-- because I kind of was.

[Wapsie B]

35. That's sorta like me.

I rarely went to Minnesota growing up. The one time I remember was just barely over the boarder in the little town of Harmony. I had never been to even Rochester, let alone the Cities until I moved up to Minnesota. Vacation for us was a drive to Prairie Du Chien on a Sunday afternoon.

[LaraMN]

36. I have never been to Rochester.

:hide:

[Wapsie B]

37. It's been awhile since I've been back there.

But I wish I lived closer to the Cities. It's a very nice area. I lived in Red Wing for awhile.

[LaraMN]

38. I lived in several 'burbs of the cities.

Somehow we managed to find the "ghetto" in Eden Prairie. When I had finished my last quarter of college and was a few months shy of having my son, I worked at Wal-Mart to pass the days and some lady came up and asked me if I wanted my baby. Nice. No, ma'am, I've just been waiting for someone to come up to me at work and ask if they can have my kid. :crazy:

[Wapsie B]

39. She was a few bricks shy a load.

What a weird thing to ask someone. :crazy:

[LaraMN]

40. Yeah, there's freaks around.

Never trust a soccer Mom.:scared:

[MrScorpio]

31. Welcome to DU

Don't let Whosalhedges feel you up

He's bad for that

[LaraMN]

32. I don't think I've been virtually violated since i was about 15

and got into the WRONG kind of chat room.

[RevCheesehead]

41. Welcome, neighbor!

I probably can't talk to you during Packers/Vikings week, but other than that, it's nice to have you with us. :)

[LaraMN]

43. Hi, I hate you for your cheese curds.

Actually I love them...when they're squeaky...mmm, cheese curds....

[RevCheesehead]

44. A bag of fresh Colby curds for you!

*squeak**squeak* :9

[LaraMN]

46. Thanks, I will try to pace myself.

I'm sure you know what happens when you shove down an entire bag of cheese.

[RevCheesehead]

47. hon, I AM the big bag of cheese.

:evilgrin:

[LaraMN]

48. Well then,

there are all kinds of unintended innuendos in my former statement.:blush:

[RevCheesehead]

49. ROFLOL!

Welcome to the Lounge, Lara! :rofl:

I see you've already made yourself at home.

[LaraMN]

50. I have a habit of doing that.

:toast:

[MissHoneychurch]

54. Hi LaraMN

welcome to DU and we are happy you joined :hi:

Looking forward to more posts form you.

So why are you awake at this time? Shouldn#t you be in bed or something? :)

[LaraMN]

56. Yes, I should be asleep.

Medication= insomnia.
I have to be up in five hours. I'm sure my kids will let me lay around and be lazy all day, tomorrow.:rofl: and Bush will resign and I will get the 2-year-old puke stain out of my car upholstery.

[MissHoneychurch]

57. Somehow I have the feeling

that Bush will resign before the other two happen :rofl:

how old are your kids?

[LaraMN]

58. Seven, three, and two.

A bit fuzzy, but this is my littlest guy, Jack (in case you're not entirely sure, Yes! He has Down Syndrome):

:)

[MissHoneychurch]

60. what a cute smile

I bet he has everybody wrapped around his finger when he smiles.

[LaraMN]

62. Yeah, he's a little shit.

He gets into alot of trouble, but he's such a lovie it's hard to be tough on him. Sweetest.kid.ever.:loveya:
