When you call someone "looser" but can't spell it...
Edited on Wed Oct-12-05 11:27 AM by Maddy McCall
it's time to reassess everything.

LOL...just heard that on a radio sports show. The host gets hate mail from listeners.

I agree with him. If you are going to call someone a loser, at LEAST be able to spell the word.

1. Couldn't agree more, and btw, did you mean to
say "reaccess"? ;)

:hi: How are you doing? Did you ever get those funky-cool glasses you were looking at, that you posted the photo of on DU? I thought they were great.

4. I'm doing well! I ordered the frames, but when they came in they
were so HUGE on my head that they looked just stupid! So, I had to return them. I'm still searching for the perfect frames...:(

7. Dammit. I thought they were adorable.
I can't picture you in the run of the mill tortoise shell frame. You are a person who would look great in outrageous, colored frames.

Thanks, I enjoy wearing noticeable frames. It's one of my very
few fashion statements.

8. The "Tootsie" effect?
You'll get there, Bunny, and you'll look great when you find them.

I'm about to get my first pair of 'full-time' glasses (I'm on readers now).

10. I have glasses, but my eyesight is atrocious.
I really need to wear them all the time...I can't read anything without them.

I'm so old at 40. I need a new body. :D

16. Nah, you don't want to do that.
Four herniated disks in my back, and my right knee--tib/fib--has been broken (go cart wreck, don't ask).

Trust me. You don't want this old body. :D

18. Damn it.
Edited on Wed Oct-12-05 11:43 AM by cssmall
I have six scars on my back from pressure release. Three on my shoulder from a surgery to repair the AC joint, labrum and to scrape arthritic bone tissue from the head of my humerus. I have about 6 feet of wire, a strechable plastic and a metal casing over the head of the humerus. My left knee has a partially torn ACL, torn MCL and a tearing medial mensicus. :D But, my eyes aren't that bad and I hear like a bat!

I'm only 23 BTW

27. Football, Baseball, and Track.
Edited on Wed Oct-12-05 12:04 PM by cssmall
Remarkably, I never got hurt too bad on the baseball field.

It was all football and it was dumb because I had a career chance in baseball. Oh to be 16 again with the knowledge I have now. :D I'm not too worried about it, truthfully. It hurts yeah, but at least I was able to go to college where I got married, have a daughter and have turned into an intellectual of sorts. Or at least, that's what Mikimouse told me when he was teaching me in a class of his. :D

BTW Maddy, since I have your attention here, take a trip up to LR or into Tennessee or something, it'll lift your spirits. Like I told another from your area, my family and I support you all in your efforts. :hug:

29. Awwww....thanks. Hugs.
I'm going to a river town in Mississippi for a night to sit on the river and watch the boats go by. That's all I want to do.

Thank you for your kind words. :hug:

5. Some people argue that as long as the point gets across, the
spelling is irrelevent. They are just as ignorant and as big a part of the problem as the people who can't spell loser in the first place.

9. In this thread, I managed to misspell "assess" and "misspell"
but I did not misspell "loser." Therefore, I'm not one. ;-)

14. I saw that
Edited on Wed Oct-12-05 11:37 AM by DS1
but the "looser" one is extra special because it immediately makes the caller much more of a loser than the callee

edit: No, it makes them fucking moron freepers.

17. Is that who's on the radio right now?
Some ESPN radio show on our local station. It comes on after the local classified show. I always listen to the classified show, where people call in with stuff for sale, and I just left the radio on instead of turning it off today. So that's what's on.

Yeah, the show is interesting for a sports show. :D

I'm not a huge fan of the guy, but I can imagine him ranting about that and being pretty funny doing so.

24. I don't know. I don't know these radio personalities.
Right now he's ranting about some coach who should read children's books. He's funny to listen to.
