On that same note Ray....
You may want to remove "cheating, stealing, embezzling" from your list of favorite hobbies on your MySpace/Facebook account considering that potential employers may be checking you out. Your profile picture of you gripping a liquor bottle, eyes glazed over might just send the wrong impression.
Really folks, just the fact that you have a MySpace/Facebook almost sends the impression that you are in fact a teenager (in your head). You're already screwed, so you might as well add the newest Puff Daddy song to autoplay on your page... you know you want to.
P.S. I need one more facebook friend to make 60 so if you don't mind.....
we don't have to talk or anything
there no

Hey, stop stealing my ideas. You have to come up with your own. But in any case, I think some people (as in mature adults) actually use their facebook pages as an employment networking tool. Although I doubt having a "Ray is contemplating how she can increase her company's profitability." as a status will land you a great job.
and BTW, that picture is really gross. let's not get into a really gross picture contest, because you know I can win.
"we have decided to add you to our sales team based on the excellence of your facebook profile " " We especially loved the smart suit and the comb over"
You're on
Your
you're
doesn't that just irritate you?
OK, I'll be your friend (not sure if you were being serious about adding friends to get over 60) but I'm not a face booker really. I may have less than 30 facebook friends.
However, since you tend to come up with such darned good ideas and write so well (both of you), I might be more inclined to interact. I just can't get too behind the "what's the cat doing now" discussions.
Now, I must know what the "there is no" means. I know it's an inside thing, and I like it, it's intriguing. But now I must know the story behind it. Will you please share? If it's too personal, silly, embarrassing, I understand. If not, please enlighten me.
The word verification for this comment, "bigmen"...
haha! I don't have a cat, but Ambie has a stupid dog that her husband wants to eat (he's Philipino).
"there is no" is code for "Ambie can't concentrate on one subject for more than 5 minutes".
j/k. When I set up the expandable post format, I did it in the layout so that every post became expandable. Trouble is, we don't always have that much to say in each post, so when the "more" link comes up, you get faked out because there is no more. Hence the "there is no" in front of the "more" link so you don't click on it and expect more when there isn't. Does that make sense??
Ray, truly you have a dizzying intellect
Thanks for the compliment HTM (mr. happy)
Ray, I'll play mom for a second. It's "Filipino." I know, weird.
Hah, Flips, I have a very good friend who is a Flip (that's how he refers to his people). As we like to kid, there is a special place in this world for all of God's creatures... right next to the mash potatoes.
OK, I do understand your explanation, cool. I wondered if it had anything to do with the "more" or if that was just a strange coincidence. I should have guessed that it was actually "planned" and not just a coincidence. But I still did need the full explanation to sort it all out.
About 10 years ago a good friend (missionary companion) that I stay in touch with regularly via email wrote that his wife was taking "clog" lesson, why this was important to tell me I have no idea. But being unfamiliar with it, that word just seemed so strange to me (felt the same way when clog shoes came out way back when) that it inserted itself into my left brain and got stuck there. Similar I guess to how George Castanza and Jerry Seinfeld who find the word "salsa" so intriguing, I felt the same about "clog", couldn't stop repeating it in my mind whenever I thought as I corresponded with this friend. From that time forward I have signed every email correspondence to him with the word "clog". He's never once asked me why I do that.
No planning or deeper meaning, just complete randomness, which is how my brain tends to work. And so that's why I had to know. Was just wondering if there was another misfiring brain out there...
HTM :)
