CINDERKEYS!! I too hope you one day have plenty and plenty of carefree time to do all sorts of frivolous things should you so desire to.
JEWEL!! Well, I think a rubber room is a chamber reserved for the manufacture and / or distribution of prophylactics??
CARL!! I lost my old cell phone 3 or 4 months ago (just a regular no-frills one that was 3 years old,) but held out for my new best friend. I am glad buttocks do not put you off, you’ll come to encounter a lot of those here.
LYNN!! I know. I has hankering for the lure and lore of the 1890s and chanced to learn that Mr. Wilde was indeed incarcerated. For “gross indecency.” There is so much I do not know.
PAIGE!! Yes, sorry ’bout the e-mail thing, I’m in a bit of a quandary but shall endeavor to muddle through. Shoot, did your phone really end up in the washer? I did that once to a brand new electronic metronome. Sorry ’bout your folks. I LOVE potatoes too! What color are you rubber undies?? Yes, I’ve seen your yellow car!!! Thanks for making me laff so much with this.
ROBBI!! You know how when the shower needs a really good scrubbing with a brush and Leonard Cohen’s maid service is no where in sight and the only way to really get in there and get all the crud off the walls is to get yourself soaked in the process?? Well, I suppose I could wear a bathing suit, but to what end? Hmn, now that I think of it a swim suit would buffer that cold tile on the posterior feeling quite nicely. And you are You Knighted?
VERED!! You and I shall have to visit all the finest donut shops together, as I call you are quite fond of glazed ones too.
SNAG!! There was some dear blogger that memed me this and I thought at the time, i need to write this down, a relatively new one in my life, tho. Hmmn. Now is a powerful wish list item indeed, some would even say now is all we have, tho “more time” is one I might order these days too.
I bet you have a lovely accent! I can’t wait to hear it some day. Do you get told by non New-Englanders that you have one? And muffins, eh?? The mysterious plot of you ever thickens.
Dudes, I must go see a man about a small pony. Will return, possibly even soon.

Well, that was refreshing.
G:: The road to Total Funsterment is not an easy one, it must be reached from the tallest mountain by bungee cord under the light of a blue half moon. It also helps if you can learn to hold your breath seven times a day for 5-minute stretches.
Good luck!
MAMA Z!! CHRIS!! You both deeply can relate to this quandary of shower scrubbing. What would be involved in creating and maintaining this support group, I wonder?? Hmmn, I first might put up a poll to ass-ess the extent of this problem in the general blogging population, then take it from there.
NADIA!! As to being me, I keep coming back to it. At various points I’ve tried being Rod Stewart, Liza Minelli and Mr. Kleen (among others,) but none of those quite worked out for me.
To tell you the truth, I know almost nothing about Mr. Wilde but am highly piqued about him.
CAITY!!! You are so getting near the top of my list for a blog visit, thanks so much sweetie for sticking with me. And thanks for your snail-mail card. WONDERFUL!! Yes, and Santa has a cell phone too!
TESS!! Can we rock ourselves into heaven??
Can’t wait to be your neighbor!
K: Well, I’m not exactly alone in the closet, I bring in my stuffed bunnies. And the beta fish in his bowl. And sometimes the headless Barbies. hee,hee.
TALON!! That Santa, I tell ya. He needs a little comic relief on occasion as much as we all do. He and Parvi, sometimes we get on a conference chat and yuk it up for hours.

Yum for steak!
And I’m laughing about the dishwashing avoidance thing, too. That is so me!!

Dreams, fears and frailties, oh my.
On fear … you know the saying, feel the fear and do it anyway?
… don’t, in this case. Cold tiles are unforgiving and merciless.
I envy your rapport with Santa. He’s got that jolly thing nailed.
At first I thought you meant a can of spam … that would be scary.

I know who the Mystery Memer is! But that shall wait until later in this comment.
TEAHOUSE BLOSSOM!! Sometimes I wonder if I should be vegetarian. So… how often do you do your dishes? Me, twice a week, sometimes 3.
ROSE!! Well, I come to remmeber I’ve done the meme wrong and it’s supposed to have one-word answers, ha. Should I do it again?
KARYN AND BARKS!! Hey, guys, so great to see you again. I have missed you. Hope your computer is cleared up now? Glad you laughed.
J.D. Yes, a can of spam oozed all through my posts and jpegs, totally clogging each pixel, then I had to give my blog a shower but it screamed when its posterior brushed up against the cold tiles.
DOT!! I had a healthy dose of Reddi-Whip last night and most likely will again tonight (on my pumpkin pie.) ‘Someone else’s cubicle made me laugh, what brought you in there? Yes, on the brownies!! You gonna post a pic of you in the tube top and spikes?
Ocean blue speaks beautifully to me. I am sorry about your dogs of course. Are you allergic to cats?
LANE!! My doctors and I yes, have tried the shower in the rubber room thing but the plumbing pipes exploded, and the hot water melted the rubber and I ended up electrocuted and my new meds made me crazier — it was not the best of times for me.
Adrenalynn: I’d love to have you on the next camping trip, Parvi says the more, the merrier — he especially likes singers and you’ll most likely get to sit beside him at the head picnic table and get the moldiest tomatoes to trample. Ooooo, another meme?? Thanks you so much, I am really starting to dig these.
Miladysa: You’re are now 4th or 5th in our shower dilemma suport group. After I clean the shower I clean myself, good to get the Pine Sol off my buttocks.
SARA!! I realize now this meme was supposed to be completed ed with 1-word answers. Can you all ever forgive me? Well, of course I laugh about ever 30 seconds but I don’t want you guys to feel bad if you’re not keeping up my pace.
HEATHER!! 18 inch super dogs, straight off the grille with my hands tied behind my back and my Big Bird slippers on. Sweet new gravatar of you and Joe.
TREY!! I know what you mean on the Texas Land And Cattle Co steak. I’ve only been once but was blown away by a steak so fluffily tender and juicy that the next day I watered my rose bush that had not bloomed in 2 years and by that afternoon there were 24 stunning red blossoms on it. Seriously!
SHEILA!!! Yes, it’s you, its’ YOU!! I wnet back to your blog and scrolled back to see that. And sorry about forgetting the one-word thing, I should re-do this. So… what’s your favorite chips or cookies? And what kind of socks do you like??
PATRICIA!! You are quite the healer yourself! You have done a lot in my life, like taking me on that week-long all expenses paid trip to Paris and sending me that new Mercedes. Thank you!!

EVITA!! Have I ever told YOU I purchased my hilarious writing power off the hilarity shelf of the local supermarket? Yep, that section is in the self esteem aisle, across from the day-old donuts.
PATRICIA!! I got the bill for those taxes but I was able to re-fi the treehouse and make a sizeable down payment on them, with only about $50,000 left to pay off over the next 30 years. Thanks! I LOVE the car. The drink holders of solid gold are a nice touch.
G!! As the friendly folks at Chick Filet say to me each and every weekday morning “My PLAISURE”!!
JEAANNE!! Well, I am very much happily obliged you are enjoying my CD. Let me guess — you like the wedgie wedding song best??
GH!! I see at the library they use BUNTU and it has a a cute logo but I have NO idea what it is all about. Now blue mixed with orange — isn’t that brown??
Hope it all works out for you woman-wise. And otherwise.
HELENA!! Well, I think maybe the blue in my great all-seeing eye is kind of neon denim blue? I like to see it that way.

HEATHER!! I guess you remember a J.Geils song with naughty allusions to something that could “never be fit on the cover of a certain size record album cover?” With older brothers I got to learn all that naughty stuff ahead of my time.
