And I hope you don't have to go looking to make sure it all comes out OK. So to speak.

this was the part that mom was less excited about. She broke up the poop with a coat hanger and there it was. I wanted to keep it, but she wouldn't let me.

The problem with suppositories is that kids with poop issues can become dependent on them.

Sure. The same can be said of prune juice and excess fiber. And I'm sure the yoga-dad that I gave that response to felt exactly the same way.

You guys are killing me. I just read through 200 posts and laughed out loud several times, but I'm terrible at remembering who said what. Except this:

Suzi, describing a picture of a "beaver" (think Vonnegut) created during a game of Pictionary:

KCD was his partner and couldn't figure it out. Now that I write this, that explains a LOT.

BWAH!

I was just talking to Steve about the competitive thing. He said that I am only competitive if the person I'm playing with is also competitive. I have to agree. Part of it that I was ultra-competitive, and like many of you, was extremely good at the trivia/word games as a youngster. And people stopped wanting to play with me because I always won. So I just stopped playing games for years and years. Until Megan Walker entered my life. But I think all of those years of being wayyyyyy too into it made their mark on me. I don't know if I'll ever give a rightful crap about a board game again.

Also, with board games, I am the opposite the way I am about movies; that is, I just want to visit and have fun and be goofy and drink more wine and laugh. And that can be totally annoying to those of you who are way into it. So it's hard to match it up.

Anyone ever play Dutch Blitz?

I could probably play board games with javachick. We'd probably both end up drunk and telling outrageous lies and forgetting the game entirely.

I never thought I had a competitive streak. I do. But it's of an odd form: it isn't that I'm really competitive, I just don't like having competition! So most of the time, I don't even try one way or the other.

Heh. I am sarameg on this....

As long as you and I are playing, it works, javachick. because there is more than one person annoying the serious ones

I can't think of a situation where either of you would be annoying, unless you are stealing my gin (java), or rum (beth).

My apartment is weird. It gets cold inside, and then the radiators come on, causing it to get hot inside. I just checked - the temp was 70 degrees before the radiators came on, and 77.5 degrees after. A pretty big swing in temperature.

Deal!

Well we were having fun, but were Matt and Megan?? HA!
