You're thinking of a certain other person here. And besides, that is :offtopic: because this is a pick on CHEL thread. Go start another thread if you want to pick on me.
Due to the recent and completely unwarranted deluge of new threads attacking a certain officer, I am going to have to post something in this thread sooner than I expected to keep it in the public eye. So this is the post.

(http://gfxlovers.com/smilies/imgs/character/character005.gif) look its chel!
Let's see, what to pick on Chel for...
Now that you're in Haiti you seem to be posting on the forum more than when you were here in the USA. :P
So are you chel #1 or chel #2? I mean #1 was born before you but has not been around. Does that make her #2? Or do chels reserve bumping rights? Oh the questions left unanswereD
Pick on Chel because... hmmm...
Because I STILL haven't gotten my cheesecake!
I'm making sourdough bread tomorrow. I'll trade you a batch of cinnamon rolls for a cheesecake.
on your mark
get set
go!
:hypocrite:
I'd take you up on that deal Ike, but you have to come get it!
and Barb, you stink. royally.
In the spirit of picking on Chel...
How would I come and get it? There's a good three in four chance you'll be out of the state at any given time. You travel more than my Grandma. I'd need a teleporter just to catch up with wherever you are at the time. :warp:
:grin: by planning ahead. If I know someone is coming, I might not make plans at that time.
That totally negates dropping in and surprising you. No fun.
Chel, do you like surprises?
We've had folks drive for hours to "drop in" and "surprise" us that left disappointed because we weren't home.
Quote from: iridiscente on October 05, 2011, 09:22:48 PM
Chel, do you like surprises?
Generally no, but I guess that depends on who it is doing the surprising. There are not many people who know me well enough to know what I would like as a surprise. Whenever I hear about a surprise... my first gut reaction is dread... And then I get over it.
Chel, I've got you a surprise :REG:
Oh great...
Well it seems her own family is taking care of picking on her enough for a while. I can take a break. :cool:
Guess what, I made my own laundry soap: http://sagaunscripted.blogspot.com/2011/10/homemade-liquid-laundry-detergent.html What I would like to do now is find some good smelling essential oils to make it smell good. :) What fragrance would you like in your detergent?
:offtopic:
You're supposed to be picking on her! :pound:
I don't know, but if you give me a few choices to smell, I will tell you what one I like best...
I literally BOLed on that one! :thumbsup2:

Not even Borden's? :D
How about a lasagna scent?
Ylang ylang, jasmine & sweet basil are all mild nice scents imho. Just in case you're looking for suggestions.

how do you pronounce ylang ylang?

Thanks! :) I'd like to find one with citrus. :D But since this was a pick on Chel thread, the food ones sounded more disgusting. :D
Yes, must stay on topic. :D But if you want citrus, have you tried bergamot?
Speaking of the topic, Chel never did reply re. the scent of Borden's chocolate milk.

Lol idk. I say "lang lang." Not sure if i've heard it said.
Good suggestion Isaac. Wonder if u can use extracts?
Happy birthday Chel. You're... what, 58 again?
http://www.box.net/shared/rgan14oxt5
Oh wait... this is a "pick on" thread. Hmmm, something to pick on her about...
Oh that's easy. Too bad you're over there and not over here. I'd send you some happy birthday sourdough cinnamon rolls. :cool:
:grin: Thank you! I get back home this weekend, so you have time to make them, and ship them, and have them waiting on me when I get back home Ike... :grin: Do you need my address again, or do you still have it? :halo:
LOL! What makes you think they wouldn't get eaten before you got home? :halo:

Whoa, whoa, hold it, this is a pick on YOU thread! Start a new thread if you want to pick on me. :P
In all seriousness, the logistics of shipping them would be tight. They'd be all old-tasting by the time they got there.
Is it possible to ship stuff frozen? Who would ship it and how do they keep it frozen? I'm guessing ice packs wouldn't cut it in regular USPS mail.
Happy Burfday!!!
Oh, and another thing - you come home this weekend, but who's to say you'll still be there Monday? With your track record you could be gone again, and they would be left sitting wherever your mom stuck them who-knows-how-long until you returned again. :P
Speaking of your mom... does she know about the last batch? I sent a good 15 or 16 home with you and your poor parents never got so much as a sniff! :nono:
For the record, this "Pick on Chel" thread does indeed come in handy...
Now back to the picking: Let the record show that Chel has not yet answered the last two allegations. As she has had more than enough time to respond by now, the lack of response implies no defense is available.
Thank you for the goodies! they were yummy!
In the spirit of the thread, did your parents get a roll this time?
yup, they have eaten more than I have so far.
Well if they eat them all, you can put cinnamon on your sourdough french toast. :fork:
Oh wait, I'm supposed to have something to pick on you for in this thread...
Rats, coming up blank. Better luck next time.
We're all grateful that she shares. :D
Hmm, what to pick on Chel for...?
So are you counting the days until your inevitable next trip? Or are you down to counting the minutes? :cool:
And why is it with all your traveling you have never, ever been at our TN Youth Retreat? It's a blast!
Tip: When you run out of stuff to pick on Chel for, there's always her habit of being a perpetual peripatetic. ;)
Let the record show that Chel has let days go by without answering the allegations posed in the previous two posts.
:grin: then post something worth responding to. Post something that makes me want to respond, reply, etc.
You are stating the obvious when asking if I am looking forward to my next trip, or asking a question I have no answer to, as to why I have not been one place, over another.
I didn't ask if you were looking forward to your next trip (and aye, that would be the epitome of a rhetorical question.) I asked if you were counting the days, or if you were down to counting the minutes yet.

Inquiring minds would like to see this list. Mostly to know if trips to the general vicinities of said inquiring minds are on the list. "Is Chel coming this way soon?" is the single most asked question on this forum. In fact the question is almost the most often reposted post in the whole forum, coming in second to "I win!" in the last-post-wins thread.

As the number one question posted on this forum seems to be "Is Chel coming our way?" I would have to disagree with your disagreement.
And by the way, is Chel coming our way? Perhaps for Youth Retreat?
Can't blame me for trying...
When is it? Probably not... I'm in saving mode at the moment until I have everything paid off again. But if I get one more day off of work, I will be coming through around the time of Elona and Jason's wedding.
What's your favorite breakfast food?
beignets with sausage in them probably, or sourdough bread with apple butter, or homemade biscuits with pretty much anything on them. or french toast. or...
Sourdough french toast with pear butter!
Or with apricot butter, or apple, or plum, or...

Cual es la ultima vez que usaste el espanol para hablar con alguien?
Umm... I can't even remember my own age... I have no idea. It's been a while. In Haiti, I used it a bit because sometimes they could understand a bit more Spanish than English, and I could find at least a few key words to get my point across.
Cool!
Do you think it should be spelled: "Smurph" or "smurf?"
It depends on how blue it is.
So guess what today is... it's pick on Chel day! :D
I've heard it all my life - "Popularity is such a burden." I wouldn't personally know, but I've always wondered. So since we have already conclusively proven earlier in this thread that Chel is officially popular... Chel, is popularity really as much of a burden as they say?
Careful, don't make me resubmit the evidence attesting to your popularity. There is much material at hand in this forum alone.
yes.
Do you identify more with Martha or Mary in the Bible?
Mary.
Agreed... do you like that?
Sometimes. Other time's it's more of an insult.
Chelbertina, I think you're fabulous. :) For reals. :)
:beret:
I had two flying attack hugs this morning while I was still asleep! One was at 6:15 by an 8 year old blond headed green eyed girl, and then about 7:30, after I finally convinced her to go bug Mamaw, I had a 6 year old big brown eyed boy in my bed.
These kids don't believe in sleep! ;)
But somehow it made me think of you. ;)

On the other hand, that probably embarrassed her a lot. I've seen her handle awkward situations with much grace, but she feels awkward when she gets a compliment.
So yeah, that could fit in a pick-on thread. :great:

That might explain the
amusingly long delay in your response in this thread. ;)
lol, yup. that would explain it.
Do you agree or disagree with the stereotype that women talk more than men?
it depends on the guy. I sure know a lot of exceptions to this rule...
Also (in my experience at least) depends on the age. Dealing with kids and young people in general, girls 20 and younger seem to like to stay up until 4 or 5am and talk whenever they have the opportunity, while guys like sleep more than talking after about midnight or so.
After 20 everything is different of course. Shoot, if you get me started talking about music I could talk your ears off (both of them) until the sun rises.
Oh wait, this is a pick on chel thread... Hmm...
Chel may not be a chatterbox herself but somehow when she's around everyone else talks more than usual. I have no idea how she does that, but I've observed the effect multiple times with many different people.
I don't like that stereotype at all, just in case you wondered. It hit me when someone from church was posting about it as if it were true for everyone. :eyeroll:
I know just as many gals that like to talk as I do guys. I know just as many gals that are quiet and reserved as I do guys. I can think of exeptions and examples of that stereotype very easily. :grin:
yeah... me too...
T'is the season to be picking!
As Chel is occupied with a friend's wedding and will be too busy to look in here for a while (I hope, I hope, I hope) this is a grand time to pick on her.
A friend and I were discussing our friend Chel's popularity, how everyone all over the country keeps saying Chel should move over there, wherever their "there" is. I said Chel either needs a teleporter for Christmas, or needs to be cloned.
The problem is, could the planet survive more than one Chel? If two of them ever met, the hug might rip a hole in the fabric of the space-time continuum. And think about all the gas they would burn driving around! :o
But on the bright side, if two or three Chels could get together and work on an alternative energy source they might just finally get this world off petrol base.
so yes this Chel hug.....I had to remind her I needed to breath today during my Chel hug....
HA! Good one.
Sister Purple_Fuzzy should encourage Chel to not check the forum. Ever.
I found a pic of Chel!

What about fried pies? and hot dogs? and smores?
Which reminds me, you never did show me how to make fried pies. I've been looking for someone to show me how for years, and you mention you can, then you go away without showing me. :pound:
You asked 20 min before I had to leave! duh...
That was the whole point, duh! The game was to get you to show me, thus extending your time here. :P
I'm glad you didn't take our stomach bug down there with you though. Taking estimated incubation time into account, we probably got it from someone on Thursday or Friday. I almost suspected you brought it down from east TN, but you didn't get sick.
nope, it wasn't me.
Oh dear, I'm getting behind. When Chel was here she mentioned that whenever Grandma goes to Texas the people on the forum hear a lot about it. According to her I'm fine for two or three days, then I start complaining. Grandma has been gone since last Thursday, so I'm late, I'm late!
Man I wish Grandma would get back up here to TN where she belongs...
There, that's better.
And by the way, it's not my fault I asked you to show me how to make fried pies 20 minutes before you left. You never mentioned you knew how to make them until right before you left.
I have so much ammo for this thread now. The hard part is exercising restraint and not firing off all the rounds at once. :cool:
I think you know I have as much or more ammo that I could use against you...
Aye, but to date there is no "Pick on Psalm_97" thread, though I have multiple times in the past mentioned the possibility of one being created.
:grin: I am here to defend myself. Not to cause you harm. :grin:
Pfft! I don't think you could cause harm if someone gave you detailed, step-by-step directions and a road map. You're too much out of practice.
OOOO.....a challenge! Chel, I shall look for great things from you in the "Pick on Psalm_97" thread.....Newsman and I await anxiously.... :biglaugh:
No challenge, just a statement of fact. She wouldn't recognize a way to cause harm if it bit her on the leg.
Quote from: Psalm_97 on January 20, 2012, 03:41:05 PM

I wouldn't bet on that. She is a nurse she probably knows millions of ways to cause harm to someone. She just hasn't tried any yet....... Well as far as we know. lol
Had a creepy nurse in a hospital once start telling me how easy it would be for nurse to kill people. I didn't sleep at all that night. lol
Hmmm, good point. I once heard of this healer who was in an army that was defending itself from an invading army. He was asked what he, a healer, was doing in an army with a sword. He responded, "You do not want to make a healer angry. He knows how you are put together and how to take you apart. I have seen many casualties from this war, and this healer is very angry."
Still, I stand by my original statement. Practice makes perfect, and she has no practice.
:ignore:
Wait, I take that back. For a minute I was afraid she was going to cause serious harm with a stick of butter while she was here. I think she was just trying to scare me though.
that butter already had teethmarks... and it wasn't from me. I decided to give it grace.
If it had teethmarks it didn't come from here. We're innocent. You brought that one with you when you came from east TN.
Dude... total ghost town here. Chel has not been seen lately on the forum, on Yahoo, on anywhere. Speculation abounds. Did she get kidnapped by one of her many, many fans? Perhaps a group of her fans collaborated to kidnap her? Is she on an internet fast, and only those who have been borged a Facebook account know of it?
Maybe we oughta get Newsman on the case.
na, just not in a communicative mood lately.
"Stressed" is "desserts" spelled backward. Maybe you should eat some chocolate to reverse the effect. :D
Perhaps you should send her a hugely high-calorie example of your confectionary artistry to make her feel better, and she's been picked on because it is extremely highy-calorie with lots of unhealthy sugars and carbs!
One, lime cheesecake doesn't ship well. Two, she is a fairly good cook herself, so anything I could send other than chocolate oatmeal cookies would be superfluous (although by now she's probably mastered those as well.)
We have friends who think you should open a restaurant, Isaac, after sampling some of your sour dough cinnamon rolls.
Wrong thread. This is for picking on Chel, not me. :P
And I have heard that frequently, but if it were a business it would no longer be fun.
*HUG* Chel :)
*pick*
Wherever Chel went to use up her vacation time, she must be having a great time. We haven't heard a peep from her.
*pick pick*
*poke*
*pike*?
I miss you.
We all do, but our aim is improving... :cool:
/me hugs the whole bunch of ya...
So she DOES still exist! I was wondering.
Boy do I have a reason to pick on Chel! She went all over the country and never came by here once!
And she still hasn't taught me how to make fried pies...

But you came here. Not for long enough though. And you never did let me know when you were returning so I could torment talk to you on your way back.

Either way, she has to pass here to get to there. So I'm first! :demand:

I'm still on the way. And I accomplished what I set out to do - keep this thread alive. :cool:
But if you're not picking on Chel, then why bother keeping the thread alive? :eyebrow:
Ah but this IS picking on Chel. I keep the thread alive, people think to pick on her. :D
I don't know exactly where you all live. Heather/ Elona, if I was driving to Baltimore, MD from Kansas City, would I pass close to you? My sis is due in February & I'm going out there to help. I'm not sure if I'll drive or fly yet.

Meeting you definitely wasn't torment. I wanted to stop on the way back through but thanks to Roscoe's road block and sitting dead still on i-40 in Rkansas for over an hour we came through way later than I expected to.
So we will just blame not getting to stop back by on Roscoe because the road block and road construction is all his fault! lol

It would only work if you took a more indirect route coming out or going back home. You will stay north of us if you take the most direct route. It will also add about 5 hours to your trip.
:offtopic:
We now return to our regularly scheduled program of picking on Chel.
MY-what Jason said. BUT I do have family in Baltimore I need to go visit :cool:
Taco and RJ-as soon as I get this blasted part for my car I intend to make a trip your way!

Me too! I have family in Maryland that I haven't seen in WAY too long! Hmmm... *plots* *ponders*
Heather: Sounds fun! :-)
MY: But we're worth the extra time. :bigcheese:
Hahaha, I can only imagine the hilarity of navigating through Appalacia with you all!
oh how I have missed a good :pwink: session! I'm sure Chel doesn't mind.
Not a bit! :grin:
Given the topic of this particular thread, of course she doesn't mind. :P
I know this is the pick on Chel thread.. so given how much she is not for being spotlighted, this is the perfect place to say this:
I was reading Romans 12 this morning and v.8 stood out to me and I immediately thought of you, Chel. You completely personify the portion in bold.
Or he that exhorts, on exhortation: she that giveth, let her do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
And I thank you dear sis. The sweet things you do show great love that you could only have by Jesus. ♥ I'm thinking of you today.
Don't hug my man too many times. :sadbounce:

Thanks sis. I needed that today.

What if I say they are from you? Does that help? :halo:
Just a bit. :grin:
Did you get the text I sent last night at 9:26? I figured you would reply, but when you didn't, I wonder if it went thru...
Umm... Did I ever answer it? Cause I have no idea?
Yep. You did.
Finally. ;)
Lol! Yay! I was so tired last night. I crashed fast!
You answered this morning. Lol
Lol, then I rest my case. I was reallllyyy tired! :grin:
Won't be the first time we have had conversations in our sleep.
Lol! Hey now! I do not claim to have coherent sleep conversations... Actually, they are the most dangerous! Because i have learned that my filters only work when I am fully awake!
Mine too. ;)
I note this is the second pick on Chel thread. To whomever started the first one going, thank you so much. :thumbsup2:
I asked Chel if she had her driver's license on her. She said yes, with such a puzzled look on her face that I wish I'd had a camera to capture it. I said good, you'll probably need it... you've been gone so long your family has probably forgotten what you look like - you might need some I.D. to get in the door.
:pound: Chel for singing to herself for no apparent reason. That's MY job! I mean really, read my signature right here on this forum. :P
Oh yeah... since I warned Chel I'd be posting some things here, I can post this and be fairly sure she'll see it.
Chel I figured out what to do with that oxidized chocolate you were unhappy about. Melt it into that chocolate pudding you were unhappy about. Although Fred and Lucy had lunch with us and we used that pudding for dessert, and they said it was pretty good as-is.
And another thing... :pound: :pound: :pound: Chel for beating up on a friend of mine.
See, she brought me chocolate from (where was that? Somewhere in the middle east?) but it had melted in transit and was now oxidized. And when she was showing me how to make fried pies she whipped up a quick batch of chocolate pudding, but she didn't know the vanilla we have is much stronger than the stuff you get at the grocery store. These two things she kept mentioning, as though it bugged the stuffins out of her that she did something that turned out less-than-perfect. But she didn't say anything about the chocolate cheesecake that didn't turn out quite as well as it should have, or the fried pie I made that hemorrhaged, or...
Not only is that a double standard against yourself, m'lady, that is being grossly unfair to someone we happen to like a lot - you. Stop beating up our friend! :P
By the way, I found Chel's memory is excellent. She remembered an incident from her first visit here, involving a stick of butter, and a separate incident involving a dirty spoon. But she did not remember... why she came by here on that first visit. (For the record, it was to pick up a desktop computer I no longer needed, to take to a church where she was eventually going. Unfortunately, although Audacity recorded many records to CD while it was with me, when it got there it seemed to have trouble recording sermon audio in real time. I hear she had a fellow nerd up there add some RAM to it.)
Thus I propose a new thread, a Chel Quiz thread. Next time Chel visits anyone, the person waits two weeks or so, then posts questions to see how much Chel remembered. Questions like "what was the exact phrase we used to describe dinner" are unfair unless it was something memorable. Questions like "what color is my dog" or "what did we eat for supper your first night here" are fair game.
And for the record, you may now call Chel "Batty." She has excellent hearing. She mentioned the high-pitched noise a household appliance makes, a noise I have heard all my life but which nobody else seems to hear. Whenever I mentioned this noise to anyone else, the person I was talking to would look at me as though I was crazy. (Okay so I AM crazy, but the stupid thing still makes that noise!) And lest you think Chel was just agreeing with me about the noise, 1-Chel doesn't lie, and 2-She mentioned it first. Take that, everyone else who can't hear it. I'm NOT crazy! Or at least not about that noise.
Chel, by the good hearing vested in me I hereby dub thee Batty.
Wow... Bol!
I did warn you I was going to go for filling up the whole thread, or maybe two of 'em. :D
Oh hey Chel!
Have you got to try your new Chipotle yet?
I have a kink in my back. You should probably come back up here and and crack it with a hug.
I wish I could! I miss you.
*smooch*
:freaky2:

:sulk:
This is the Pick on Chel thread, not Hit on Seth thread.
Get your own thread!
I racked up enough posts picking on Chel to do for a while. :hypocrite: Some diversion is acceptable, as long as we don't stray too far, too long from the main objective of picking on Chel.
So Chel has (allegedly) been home for a while now, yet she doesn't post any more often than when she was on the road.
Possibilities:
1. She is avoiding us.
2. She is as popular locally as she is on the forum and is just too busy.
3. She is too busy working and holding fund raisers to get money for the next trip.
4. She was so exhausted from the last trip that she is STILL recovering.
Feel free to suggest more possible reasons for her lack of forum posts. :cool:
5. Her arms fell off from all the Chel hugs.
:grin:
I am washing 5 loads of clothes today.
Somedays I wish I could just hang out and cook food and be creative and all that jazz. There are so many ideas! I need a house of my own.
How would your own house help with time constraints?
And if you're waiting for the washing machine to get through, why are you not posting more? :P
What are you doing up this late? Go to bed! :P
Well it's worth a shot, using that to pick on her. It worked once totally by accident - we were talking on yahoo and I said that in jest, and she thought I was serious. And if you took the trouble to copy/paste this or hit Quote to read it, you just learned something for which you will never have any use. Oh well, maybe you'll forget about it so something more important can take up brain space.
Hey Chel, is this your next camera?

if you have a house of your own can i come live with you? you won't even need to give me a room. maybe just a storage building out back... :cool:
And maybe she'd let you borrow her crazy straws. :thumbsup2:

I finally figured it out! First time I saw Chel I thought she looked familiar, and I finally pinned down the reason. There's a large Amish community nearby, and her face reminds me so much of them.
I don't mean the physical construction dictated by genetic structure. I mean the permanent look on the face, embedded by wearing it so long. Emotions come and go across the face, but the one that is there the most will stick. Chel has a very amish expression.
And if you know Amish people, not just stereotypes from rumors and Weird Al's song, you'll know that's not a bad thing at all. :cool:
I know formerly Amish people! Does that count?
Say what?
Okay... you know how people's faces get set in a certain way, depending on their general attitude? Cranky people have a cranky face, people who worry all the time have a pinched, worry-wart face, jolly people have a face with grin lines, etc.
I've met a good few Amish people, and they usually have a kind face, fairly open and honest, down-to-earth, peaceful, with something about the eyes that suggests competence. Probably something about their chosen lifestyle that causes it. Though you certainly don't have an Amish lifestyle, your face reminds me a lot of them.
Which reminds me... I need to pick up some farm eggs tomorrow.
Hmm, I will have to think about that.
Just consider what this thread topic is...
If we park this forum as someone suggested, how will we be able to pick on Chel? :-\
You could if you didn't have such an aversion to Facebook. lol
I would not join the Dark Side, even for so worthy a cause as picking on Chel.

Tis a mute point. The board ain't going nowhere... :P
If a person who could not speak had a point that was irrelevant, would it be a moot mute point or a mute moot point?
Wait... this is the pick on Chel thread, not the pick on Roscoe thread. Sorry.
:grin: there is always yahoo...
When you're there... :P Sometimes you go for MONTHS without showing up on Yahoo.
That don't mean I am not there... Depending on which yahoo you are talking about... I am always on that one...
The unknown winner backward backward one. In theory you should always be on it, but it disconnects and you don't notice for months. :P
I think you should restate that last statement more accurately... Mister... Lol.
But the way I stated it works so much better for this thread. :D

I post in the calm before the storm? :halo:
Now that I think about it, it's more like you're getting antsy. We know that you are so busy that even your poor mother and father don't get to see your much, which is why you seldom have time to post on the forum. When you make time to post on the forum a lot anyway, it could be taken as a sign that you are missing your friends more than usual... in which case a trip is probably just around the corner.
:grin: you may be dead on right about that...
Thought so. So when should I tell the family to expect you?
By the way you're not supposed to agree with it... You're supposed to deny everything. This is the pick on Chel thread. How can I pick on you if you agree with me? :P
I hope its me!! Lol
In Japan the young people have a general rule that if you do not respond to a text message or an email or something within half an hour, the next day you are targeted for teasing and being picked on.
What brings this up? Well it just came to mind because Chel still hasn't answered her PM. Fortunately we're not teenagers in Japan. Unfortunately there is this pick on Chel thread which needs some activity.
Guess what I figured out! I learned if you make a post with nothing important, let it sit for a few days, then edit the post, you can post what you want and nobody will notice because it doesn't show up in the "Show unread posts since last visit" list.
:freaky2: Watch this space for future developments :freaky2:
It has been far too long since anyone picked on Chel.
It seems suspicious to me that Chel - who has, on this very forum, professed to hate surprises - should love to surprise others so much. If she were a saint in the Catholic Church she would be Our Lady of Short Notice. You never know she's coming until, at most, the day before she plans to arrive. Also I remember one time she was expected here Sunday night, but drove all night (catching short road-side naps along the way) to get here about noon. She looked insufferably smug when she got here, and very tired, but I think it was worth it to her because we were so surprised.
Also, for the record, she is a great collaborator when someone else is setting up a surprise...
:grin:
and? lol
And... we wouldn't have it any other way, frankly. I'm not objecting to you surprising people, that's a good thing. But it does seem a bit odd that you would claim you hate surprises. :P

Hmm....I'm thinking she hates RECEIVING surprises...LOL
Verily, t'is better to give than to receive.
(And that includes a quick bop on the snoot.)
So you're saying she can dish it out, but she can't take it, eh? :P
Hey now! I wasn't even gonna tell you I was at your house last time I went... I was just going to sleep in my car and meet your grandma in the morning... You are the one that messed that up and called right when I was turning in your driveway you goober! :grin:
The problem is if anyone else tried the same trick, you wouldn't be at home to surprise. You'd probably be out on one of you gallivanting trips.
Odd you would call me a goober... I'm sitting here eating a jar of peanuts.
Oh well, better to be called a goober than a booger I guess...
Well you know my dyslexia... That is just one letter switched... I may have meant the other and just misspelled it. :grin:
HEY! This is the pick on CHEL thread, not pick on ISAAC thread. Start another... oh wait, there is a pick on Isaac thread. And it's quite inactive. Guess nobody has anything to pick on me for. :hypocrite:
I can just do it here... Lol
Is it my turn? :freaky2:
Have at it man. You have unexpended ammo, surely.
Like the pic by the way... but this isn't the thread for greetings, it is a thread for picking on Chel.
Isaac, don't eat the mouse...

I would never do that. The little helmet might get stuck in my throat.
Mighty Mouse... pull kitty's teeth. :biglaugh:
You're s'posed to be picking on Chel here...
A mouse burrito is kind of disturbing... unless you're a cat, I guess. ;)
I thought he said he was a chicken burrito over in the "Ask Burrito" thread.
Boy, this thread has dried up... Guess they're all over there picking on poor Burrito.
I'm ok with that... Lol

It means I'm not worried about if you can hold your own or not... :grin:
He held his own in AR pretty well. Of course it took him a bit to assess the situation, but it would take anyone a bit with a group like us. Once he determined we weren't *quite* crazy enough to be lethal, he fell right in and gave as good as he got.
Chel you use PhotoShop, so you probably need to know about this.

Of course you already know about the security breach, but did you know about the crossword puzzle? :D
