Crackhead Rhinoceros
My one and only true birthday present to myself was a collection of buttons from
My favorites:
“I have the grace and poise of a crackhead rhinoceros.”
Those who have spent time with me know this all too well.
“I am. I am.”
It’s a Henry VIII button. I’m so weird.
“Thank you ellipses…”
I’m into ellipses…when they’re used properly (and formatted properly).
“Heavy Sigh”
C’mon, you only read that one about 4,000 times here. It’s so me.
“I’m nocturnal”
It’s a little owl. Totally me.
Most of these will appear only on my cute little lightweight faux trench. One at a time. I have a couple to give my kids. I’ll probably go back for more because I’ve found a ton I like. At $1.00/ea and cheap shipping, they’re great “I’m thinking of you” gifts.
Oh, and my birthday? Pretty damn great. Except finding out that my daughter has ulcers. Otherwise, I had a very quiet day. Three calls from various people. One was a complete surprise (a welcome one, too, I might add). And I had dinner with a friend who’s been going through a rough patch. I called him last minute and we met up over at Islands. We shared a burger and fries and then we demolished my free dessert. He even picked up the check, which he didn’t have to do. I skipped the daiquiri I’d been anticipating. Eh, I didn’t really need it anyway.
All in all, not a bad day. Except the Mojo thing.
Happy belated birthday!
My theory about birthdays is that, after 21, they all suck. Really, what do we have to look forward to?
At 8 you wanted to be 10 (for the double digits!). At 10, you wanted to be 13 (hello, teenager!). At 13, you wanted to be 16 (to drive, obviously). At 16, you wanted to be 18 (adult). At 18, you wanted to be 21 (REAL adult). What’s left? Has anyone ever said “I can’t wait to be 30!?” Um, no.
And in a couple more months, I hit 40. *sigh* My gift to myself is a big ol’ party to “celebrate.” My friends just don’t know that what I’m celebrating is the fact they all turned 40 before me. Sh! It’s a secret!

I thought of you when I saw this one: ‘Kind, caring, compassionate and kinkier than you’d think’.
:rofl:
OH and I love ‘Lot’s wife deserves a name’. Those are great!
Sorry to hear that Mojo has ulcers… :(

Dor, you’re gonna love 40! It’s so much better than 39 and you get to eat more cake.
Hey Pam, how did you get “kinkier” from anything I’ve EVER posted here?
:rofl:

Ellipses. I, too, use them quite a bit. Perhaps too much, albeit how else to indicate “quoted text has been trimmmed” – at least without including that whole phrase.
Ulcers? Oh my.

Ellipses are awesome. If they’re not used properly, they suck. I especially like to see them used to convey a thought that someone else could complete on their own. You know…
