Don't worry, the police will take care of it as soon as someone is hurt.

I take it there's more evidence for that than rambling?
I like the new carry licences in Montgomery County; they're the same kind of photo-ID card as the Florida ("Good in 22 States--Count 'Em") permit.

The pictures still suck though.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-12-2006, 08:42 PM

If the photo didn't suck, it would be suspect as an official document.

Reminds me I need to send a memo to the safety committe about light and heat exposure ...

This one man will show up at work every full moon. If I see him he will tell me, "there is a full moon tonight." Then I won't see him again until the next full moon or maybe a couple of months will pass and I will see him again. We don't have conversations he just tells me,"the moon is full tonight." I just think or say, Oh it's been a month already? or give him a poker face and say, oh really. I'll look into his eyes. It looks silvery in there but I don't believe in werewolfs. He smiles a twinkly smile and goes about his business.

@skysidhe: Are you frickin' serious?!
Or is that a genius bit of fiction?!

Either way, I love it. Silvery eyes!

I am quite serious and it is quite true. I have never mentioned it to anyone. Not family or anyone just because it does sound like fiction. Those kinds of things you just file away under 'strange' To be honest I did embelish with the silvery part. His eyes are blue BUT They do have silvery flecks in them . He seems to be a really nice whenhe tells me there is a full moon. It's in a casual friendly way. He's not trying to be creepy,,......I don't think.

I thought it was a better story than me smashing my finger. Other than that it's pretty hum drum.

[edit- If I could write fiction like that I would become an author. I would have money and a name. Instead I am dumb and I work two jobs. Even if I had the time and energy to make things up I don't have the imagination or the inclination. Magic finds me I don't need to make things up.......jus...sos ya know]

skysidhe · 05-19-2006, 04:36 PM

ok the finger smashing story.

One day I was using a labeler. It is a little square box that looks like the game cube. It was on a rolling table and I had the scanner part of it in my right hand I crouched on the floor spreading my left hand out onto the carpet. I was hating that job so much I felt like all my negative energys built up so much that, that box took a leap right down onto my left middle finger. I knew I smashed it but I wasn't prepared for what I saw when I looked at it. The tip of my finger was gone! My fingernail hung by a tiny bit of flesh. In my shock all I could think about is how perfect our fingernails look. "Just like those fake ones in the box' I said to myself. I held my finger tight and went to the phone and paged for emergency assistance. I walked to where the help was comming. I looked at my finger and just about passed out. There was the tip of my finger bone poking out. .....

The rest is history. Once the shock wore off I was in alot of pain. I asked people to go look for my finger. I guess there was a bunch of them looking for it. My boss drove me to the hospitail and stayed there the whole time. I got stitched up, drugged up and fortunatly my finger was still there. It had just shatterd and split. My nail grew back. My finger is flatter than the others but I think I grew my finger back quite well. I can almost trim that nail too which is really exciting.

DucksNuts · 05-19-2006, 05:07 PM

oh yuck Sky, that sounds awful.

I have been the searcher of a finger, but never lost one thankfully.

skysidhe · 05-20-2006, 02:31 AM

Thanks ducks..it's all 'o tay' now.

umm so ducks did you ever find a finger ? To find someone elses finger would be something really more yukky than yuk.

cableguy · 05-30-2006, 12:12 AM

I drive a bus for my day job. A drunk got on recently, looked at me after he paid his fare, smiled, and said "how would you like a punch in the face?" I paused with a pensive look omy face, and replied "I don't think I'd like it very much". He said "oh, ok" and went to sit down.
Man, I could write a book with the stuff that happens every day. Better yet, I'll just keep adding to this thread!

xoxoxoBruce · 05-30-2006, 03:48 AM

I've been wondering when they're going to put those thick plexiglass shields, like they have at check cashing places, around bus drivers?
