Not as much as nursing razor cuts.

What was the most disappointing instance where you were sacked from a job?

hey boo, it looks like you're the only one who has ever been fired! (lots and lots of smiley faces)

bambooneedle · Post by **bambooneedle** » Fri May 07, 2004 9:54 pm

I've been fired, but it wasn't ever that disappointing. Mainly with short summer jobs when I was a student. One boss of mine at a restaurant would go out the back to get cokes etc and he'd peek at customers using the loo, through a hole in the wall. He was just a dumbfuck. The restaurant had a Beaches theme, and he'd play the Beaches soundtrack, "Did you ever know that you're my heeeero..."

I got asked to leave my job at Smoky Mtn Outfitters because I was too much fun to work with. Really!

that tax refund finally arrives. do you do something sensible with it or do you have some fun??

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Sat May 08, 2004 8:29 am

Ahem. I hate admitting this since it makes me sound terribly sensible and almost 40-ish, but it looks like this year's refund might go to put up new gutters for the house.

But we still treat ourselves to fun things anyhow - it just won't be with the tax refund this year.

What are you avoiding right now by spending time on the board again?

Housework.

How many scars and where?

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Sat May 08, 2004 9:06 am

well, there's the scar on my upper lip from where it got rolled up in the car window (I was POUTING). And the one that starts between my boobs and runs down and to my left ending on the hip bone from where I fell off a houseboat. And the one on my left eyebrow where I ran into a clothesline pole. And the scars from my children. Well, they're all across my heart.

what's worse, sports bra uniboob or cro-magnon unibrow?

A uni-brow is always a no . . . almost always anyway.

Have you ever had a recurring dream and if so, what was it?

Boy With A Problem · Post by **Boy With A Problem** » Sat May 08, 2004 3:43 pm

A recurring theme. I've killed someone or sometimes a few people and I'm getting away with it - racked with guilt and on the verge of being caught. I never actually do the killing in the dream - but I know where the body is. It's never anyone I know whom I've killed.

When was the last time you were asked by management to leave an establishment?

All the way back in 95 or so, the manager of O'Flaherty's Pub on Toulouse St. in New Orleans asked my brother and I to leave. My drunk brother was castigating a couple of guys on their lack of skill at darts. I was mortified and only recently went back.

Do you gamble, and if so are you superstitious about it?

crash8_durham · Post by **crash8_durham** » Sat May 08, 2004 10:18 pm

I gamble but have no superstions related to it. I do see people (mostly the elderly spending their social checks) at slot machines with trinkets and good luck stuff and they either blow on the machines or massage them etc. It is really sad.

what band or artist do you hate the most musically ?

wehitandrun · Post by **wehitandrun** » Sat May 08, 2004 10:52 pm

Yellowcard. You may have heard their new single "Ocean Avenue". They try to incorporate a violin part in each of their tracks to sound "original" - when in reality they are pop punk garbage.

What word most offends you? Feel free to use astericks if even typing the word would send a crawling discomfort up your spine.

Usually peel.

You can't just hang out near the goalie waiting for the ball, one defender at least must be in front.

Dumb luck? Karma?

For reasons I could but will not blame on my husband, I am without my son today, which is Mother's Day. I have no car and no money, and perhaps most tragically for a beautiful day alone, no marijuana. What should I do with my day (besides decadently surfing the 'net in bed for an hour before even getting up...)?

Sorry to hear your son isn't with you today Mugsy...that is the pits.

Suggestion as to what to do today?

Make little towers out of playing cards....always a fave of mine when I'm stressed or depressed. It's so infuriating that you forget almost everything else. A draughty room is always preferable.

I didn't know that Mother's Day is a different date in the States..
