1. I really should be cleaning my van.
If I don't get the sand out, it'll be that way all week.

14. Well yes I have.
But I ride a bike to the beach when I surf.
The sand is from taking my dog to the beach. I have to drive her as dogs are not allowed on the beach in front of my neighborhood.

2. Judging by my popularity,
Pissing on an electric fence

Buying a DIY Castrating kit (or a rusty fork)

Wading through rapid waters where there's a waterfall 30 feet away (and I nearly slipped when doing just that yesterday)

I think you get the hint. :D

3. Cleaning my apt, practicing guitar,
learning how to use my music sequencer I bought seven months ago, getting supper, making my bed, putting away my clothes, working on my divorce paperwork, the list is endless...

10. Yeah, I've been a busy guy lately.
Edited on Sun Sep-25-05 05:26 PM by no name no slogan
my divorce is not DU-related. It's been a long time coming-- all that's left is the settlement, and the lawyers to fight it out.

But I have met somebody new through DU...

5. My 1993 taxes...
I just got a statement.

I paid them, so what's the problem with a late filing?

PLENTY.

They calculated my taxes as a single return, not including the standard deductable for my sig-other, and they figure I owe them a few thousand.

I hate paperwork.

9. 1993?!?!?!
I thought they had like three or five years to find fault. I don't think I could even find my records from back then.

22. Yup!
Thank you for asking. The lump is nearly completely gone with no lasting side effects. :)

I did call the ER and talked with a nurse. She said it didn't sound too bad, but come in if I felt I needed to. I went instead to bed, and I'm fine. :)

I appreciate the concern.

45. There's nothing else I need to be doing at the moment.
Everyone has been fed. The kitchen is clean. I've got one more load of laundry to fold, but it's still in the dryer. I have about 45 minutes more before I need to get the children bathed and into jammies.

In a little over two hours, I plan to watch Desperate Housewives.
