I like the “self mad man” I actually resmeble that remark. A lawyer I used to work with once put a yellow sticky on his secretary’s spell check spot. It said “use me”.

This is hilarious. I am ova here busting out laughing at this. Jannie the wild typer.
On 4 January 2009 at 11:41 pm Patricia said,
Jannie this is so fun…I have been having trouble with lose/loose and Grey/gray all week and for some reason punctuation has been failing me. I keep finding typos that I have thought I edited out, too much eggnog and champagne.
Thanks for making me laugh…joy abounds
Patricia’s last blog post..An Introduction:
On 4 January 2009 at 11:58 pm Jannie said,
Wade: self-mad man, yeah I like that one a lot too.
Sheila: Good one!
Miladysa: When I really pay attention to how just one letter off can make something totally mean somethign else and it’s funny, I save it for these bords on wires. (This is my second one, thus, 2.)
Erin: So glad I could bring a little levity to your life today!
Aimee: Yeah, you should see the tautness and tone of my gluts now!!
Weyrd1: Yeah, I poop by a ton of blogs a day too!! lol, that one does make my cheeks sore from laughing. (Facial cheeks, I mean.) Does that ever happen to you – you laugh so much your cheeks get sore?
Davina: Yeah, well I’ve been collecting these for a couple of months now and plan to make this a regular thing I post. As soon as I get another 10 together, and with my too-fast typing, I think that may not be before too long, I’ll post “Like a bord on a wire 3!”
Georgie: I think I might just have to start doing that — allowing myself to make as many typos as possible because I sure spend a lot of time back-tracking to correct those suckers sometimes.
Vered: A classic for sure! I know I’ve caught myself on that particular one numerous times, not sure if one of those managed to squeeze through or not, sure hope not! And I find myself writing Blooger a lot too.
Tammy: The best medicine, eh?? Ahhhh, lol, my friend. LOL.

Sprouting wood is a man’s favorite sport, enit?
I love #9, as the Beatles said, Jelly Seinfeld probably gets off on it too! A girl just wants to have fun, right, whether she is spunky or skunky. My 2-year old grandson, Ethan still calls soup, poup, which we get a howl over daily. Most of usz end up gooflijng whehter we like it orn not. I am a self-mad man, oh yeah, and it sounds like a Billy Joel lyrics too! Shunshine, quite liquid it seems, is mostly what we get here in the Pacific Northwest, where a rain tan is common. Do eggs have dolks, or just people?
I was both envious and intrigued with your take-me-as-I type profile, as I read some of your comments here and there. I must admit, there is a real charm in not caring about correcting the typos. As far as feeling free to comment, and write, and cogitate, that’s me all over.
I loved your two poems/pomez from two postings ago, hot stuff from the Jannster.
I could not partake yet within your latest Meme, cuz I cannot bring myself to email 7 of my “real” friends with it; that’s always the tricky part for me.

Patricia: Grey / gray, I never remember which one is American, which is Canadian. Some days the olde minds just don’t work as good as others, do they?
Carla: Thanks for pooping by!
Matthew: You must have a natural ability then, ’cause you don’t seem to have a raging typo problem.
Talon: Buttering up this blog author is not only recommended but a very smart plan!
Barbara: When I first started this blog I would correct commenters’ typos but stopped because it can get pretty time-consuming. Plus the charm of a typo can be so cute.
MamaZen: You make me happy when skies are grey. You really do – how fitting!
Ah Jewel, I forget that your native lanuage is not English, your writing always seems good to me.
Brad: Welcome to my humble site!! Yeah, I liked that one too! Enough of your unput, give me something of value.
Weyrd1: Thanks for pooping by again too! Your unput is always astute.
Nikki: You naughty girl. I love it!

A man walked his dog down our street every morning and evening. Whenever possible, the dog would poop on someone’s lawn. Over and over, little piles of poop on everyone’s lawn.
But then one day, I was out in the yard, and the dog did not come up and poop on the lawn. Instead, he pooped as he walked past, like a dotted line.
As they continued down the street, I yelled, “Thanks for pooping by!”

I like the skunky girl one best.
And now, in answer to your questions: I was on tv with Donny Osmond because I was friends with the lady who ran his fanclub back in the 90’s. One day she asked us to met her at the mall to watch Donny film a skit for VH-1.. and we ended up as people in it. And Donny invited us to come watch him film the following day… and we did… and ended up being in the skit again.
I do have my Polish dance group’s TV perfomance… on VHS. I don’t have a VHS to DVD converter/player.. but when I get one or get a chance to use one I’ll definately be blogging about it.
I blogged once about the filming with Donny, but deleted it. (I use to delete every other month.)I may reblog about it another time. I think if you go to my sisters blog (www.moonbeamsandtwinklingstars.blogspot.com) she has a picture of Donny up in a ballerina too-too.
On 5 January 2009 at 5:48 pm karyn said,
oh yeah.. my sister was asked if she would go on a blind date with Donny’s oldest son back then.. and she said no. (she had issues being a couple or so years older.)

Shay, “tireblossom” is terrific! Just wanted to stop back by and say how thrilled I was to have garnered an “honorable mention” in the Effing Clover contest, and to congratulate Lance on his win. I wept for an hour or two realizing I was going to have to come up with coin of the realm for the I WANT A MAN CD, but then maybe that is OK too. I will contribute to the profit margin that will help finance Jannie’s next musical endeavor, enit? And who could disagree with Shay as she states, “your nipple fingers are a gif to mankind.” I doubt one could find more nipple fingers anywhere else on the net.

Dr C: Comment Luv here does show up differently here than on other blogs I’ve noticed, your last post shows up after you publish the comment. Weird. But better than a poke to the eye with a burnt stick.
Biretossom: I unmused you? You the mostest mused one I nose on the intranets. Your pomes should be in a book.

Jannie.
Woo hoo! You said, “I give you my wood on this”. Oh my! I’m so excited! Yay! Firewood! What kind of wood will you give me? Will you give me some of that chopped firewood we talked about the other day? I mean… you are a former ‘farm girl’ who knows how to swing an axe!
It’s cold here. So when can you ship me a few cords of wood?? After all, I need to use my woodstove for heat. I certainly can’t afford to use my own furnace!
I mean… the furnace uses propane. {Those damn fossil fuels! They are not good for the environment.}
Do you know much much propane costs?! If I called the oil company right now to fill my propane tank up to full (from getting towards empty), it’ll cost upwards of $1,100 or so. I’m afraid my first-ever Amazon Associate referral fee paycheck of $19.91 won’t help much with paying for propane.
So I need that wood ASAP!
Besides, my 1st Amazon check won’t even arrive until February. As you know, I work on my blog 7 days a week. So I’m making about 1/1,000,000th of a penny per word. (Is 1/1,000,000th grammatically correct??)
Aren’t I smart?!? If my calculations are correct, I should be rich enough to heat my house with propane about 49 years from now. I’ll be 89 years old by then. (Too old to split wood).
I’m thinking of your snowy palm tree.
Climate change may have caused extinction of humans by the the time I *would have been* 89 years old. Those damn fossil fuels like propane are not good! There must be a cleaner way to heat my home. (I know I can’t use the kitchen stove for that… all that propane again)…
Right now, I must conserve the propane for use running the stove (for just cooking… not heating my home!) and, of course, the clothes dryer.
I can’t be wearing wet clothes in this cold house when I’m still in need of wood for the woodstove. I don’t like shivering.
You have been chopping that wood, right? Is it almost ready to be shipped?
You don’t want me to be cold do you? I have fibromyalgia you know! My body doesn’t handle cold well at all. So, please ship those cords of wood up ASAP.
I’m sure you can swing the costs of shipping. Right? Google ads rock!
What’s that? You meant “I give you my WORD on this”?
Bummers!! I was so looking forward to the fireWOOD.
I especially was looking forward to seeing pictures of you chopping the wood… posted right here on your blog.
Your readers should see how skilled you are at chopping wood. That is a talent worth showing off! You are going to post the pictures of you splitting that seasoned wood, right?
I mean… just because you can’t justify the expense of shipping it to me shouldn’t prevent you from getting the physical exercise from splitting wood anyway. It’s good for your cardio workout, isn’t it?
I want to see those biceps in action.
I want one of those pictures where the axe is moving through the air so fast that it’s blurry in the picture. Kind of like your little honey was blurry/in motion.
I want your face to be clearly visible, though. I need proof that you yourself personally chopped the wood. After all, YOU did “give me your WOOD”! Don’t let me down, please!
Wait. What’s that?? Did you say that you REALLY meant your “WORD”???
I am so disappointed. I thought you were good for your word, Jannie! I’m absolutely stunned that you are not going to send the wood I was counting on. That is a crying shame. People just don’t seem to keep their word anymore nowadays. I thought you were different.
I’m sad that you got me psyched for something that isn’t going to happen. I thought YOU were good for your word.
YOU are the one who made the typo. Aren’t YOU legally responsible to fulfill your promise?
Think about it…
I have faith that you’ll be chopping it all up soon. I can’t wait. I know you’ll do the right thing!
You are a woman of your word.
Happy splitting! Don’t hurt your back. You recently bragged to me about being an expert lumberjack. So I’m sure you’ll be fine!
Jeanne
P.S. Jannie, you are too funny! I thank you for making me laugh. The last few days have been very intense and very upsetting. Your blog is a safe place for me to stop by and just LAUGH. Your sense of humor is a great gift. Your writing is brilliant! Your generosity of spirit and kindness are impressive. Have a fantastic day!

Sharon: Yes, I like that you can understand what they were to have been and how the mistakes make them funny. (And I’ve already got 6 new ones, so just 4 more until Like A Bord On A Wire, 3 appears in all its glory!)
YaYa: Ye lovely red-headed lass, WELCOME to J. Funster! I’m so glad you came by. I already am a big secret admirer of yours, so it’s good to get this thing out in the open finally! See you soon.
Jeanne, my wonderful Jeanne: I am on my way now to you with bushels and pecks of birch and maple in my largest knapsack. I should think propane would be free – after all it’s just a gas. And is natural, right??
89 — I’m not sure, but I think that was the ideal age to begin a new physical activity, use those muscles or lose them.
Perhaps you could fling your wet clothes up into the naked trees to dry?? And move your hosue to Florida? Oh, but then you’d get the A/C bill, about $1101.00 a month from April to November.
Jeanne, once I figure out how to YouTube, I’ll post VIDEO of me chopping!! YES, WITH MY FACE CLEARLY SHOWN, let’s hope I don’t have too many zits that day.
LOVE YOU JEANNE!!! You made me laugh too. Now, what’s your address? I believe I have wood to deliver.
