Not sure, Bel ...

Although, I do spend half the year there, so ...

Why did I think you were in NYC

I was in Philly over Thanksgiving of 2004. I never saw that. Damn that would have scared the hell out of me!!!

BTW..I LOVED Philly.

Really, Bel? That's odd.

However, I'm actually in Philly at present. So I suppose it must be a "big city" thing.

The Windshield Thing

Must be a New York thing as I have never ever seen that! Time to call Karen and ask about it! LOL!

That's a good word for it, Corbin.

I'll have to remember that one.

Well, that's certainly a good sign, Mason.

Yeah, Kingmi, I had made that part up ... Michelle will believe anything if you "stick to your guns" long enough.

I considered that possibility, markng ...

and thank you for the compliments.

I'll have to take your word on that, Bandana.

Thank you and you're welcome, Ann.

I would suspect it might do more than that, Jazwolf ...

Based on the experiments I've conducted with hamsters.

HaHaHa....

We used to call riding around like that "headhunting".......

Bandanafish, I think it is impossible to puncture the brain with a q-tip.

However, it is very likely to puncture the ear drum. Mademoiselle, you are kicking ass! Keep up the great work!

reality TV

yeah, I'd watch it too. You write cute and look cute.

Hey Madem,

I think Jazwolf is not joking there. I put my ex dog in the oven (my house was awfully cold during those hard, winter times), even though he just happened to die in there, from old age of course. (Give me moment here. I still cry when I think about it.) Otherwise, the microwave/oven trick really works quite lovely.

Its half a shower of clicks to cool off.

Thanks for playing.

Mademoiselle--- When the car wash won't lend me a towel, I just crawl into

the microwave and hit "high." Do you think that will dry out my skin?

Thank you very much, Troosha ... I do possess quite a mental library.

And I believe I left the quote in Runs at dawn's blog (post involving therapy).

posted by Mademoiselle on August 3, 2006 at 5:20 PM | link to this | reply

Is that really something squeegee people do a lot, Bandana? Play Truth or Dare?

Cause I think of it as more of a party game, actually.

posted by Mademoiselle on August 3, 2006 at 5:18 PM | link to this | reply

Thank you so much, TAPS.

posted by Mademoiselle on August 3, 2006 at 5:16 PM | link to this | reply

You have quite an array of quotes

I loved this one which was in the comment section of a blog (I confess) I can't pin point at the moment:

"There are two kinds of light;
The glow that illuminates,
and the glare that obscures."

Fabulous!

even if you pull my hair,

I would never play truth and dare with that guy who drank from the squeegee. Even if ya'll took mah mahney az ah waz poo peeplez, ah stil dignefy, wil nevah play truth an dare wit dat guy wit da squeegee.

Ya, Runs at dawn ...

It was really nasty.

He drank from the squeegee?

EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!

Fourcats, I prefer Squeegee McFee & The Whatchamacallits, myself.

Thank you, Tanga.

I suppose I might consider it, Factor ...

Though, I do so enjoy my privacy.

Uh-oh

I caught the words reality show as I clicked to comment... I can see it now..."All Mademoiselle, all the time." Just don't do one of those 24 hours a day web cam things where things are way toooo personal. That's tacky. But, hey, I bet you could have gotten great ratings showing that marionette prank...

I try to live each day to the fullest, Ann.

Thanks, Blonde ... I would probably watch that, too.

Provided it wasn't on at the same time as Grey's Anatomy.

posted by Mademoiselle on August 3, 2006 at 4:56 AM | link to this | reply

Well, .Dave., then I would suggest you, too, might want to consider switching to ear candles.

Q-tips are the swabs of Satan, anyway.

Well, you manage to pass the time in a relatively fun way.

Mademoiselle

After reading a lot of your blogs.......if you had your own reality TV show....I would watch it.

I can't remember long series of numbers.

I'm not sure how my boyfriend would feel about that, Moon.

posted by Mademoiselle on August 2, 2006 at 11:00 PM | link to this | reply

Wasn't she the one you were planning on sending into the attic?

What ever happend with that? I see she's still around. LOL

....BTW Madem, I wanted to let you know that you were the 100th visitor to my Moon Love Blog (seriously) so, I suppose I should offer you some kind of prize or something. The most valuable thing I can think of to give you is myself, naturally, so I'm making myself available for you to take me to dinner on Saturday at a restaurant of my choice. No need to thank me. You deserve it.

(p.s. I considered allowing your mother to tag along but, I'm afraid the answer must be "No." You deserve me all to yourself.)

I think they may have been joking, though.

Great imagery in your weavings of literary taspestry and word weilding wizardry!

....thin ice?????

Yes, Moon, that would seem to be a violation of one's civil rights ...

If you'd like, I could bring the issue up at the next ACLU meeting. Though I'm already skating on thin ice as it is.

posted by Mademoiselle on August 2, 2006 at 10:11 PM | link to this | reply

....you know the really funny thing about ear candles? They almost never let you sit in movie theatres with them.....at least not if they are lit. I'm considering filing a complaint for discrimination.

posted by syzygy on August 2, 2006 at 10:05 PM | link to this | reply

Well, Moon, I suppose I would be implying that you should seriously consider switching to ear candles.

posted by Mademoiselle on August 2, 2006 at 10:01 PM | link to this | reply

...........okay, so you're implying that if I cannot remember long sequences of numbers (which I am neither confirming nor denying) then that would suggest exactly what about me??????

(p.s. I sorta dedicated a blog to you today....kind of.....I mean in a roundabout sort of way.....well, I didn't exactly dedicate it to you but.....uh......you kinda inspired me to write something insipid......or something like that.......)
