I visited the site today and I'm laughing my ass off! How pathetic I was! I can't even find my posts from last week they're so far down the scroll. I struggled to get one post up a day and I couldn't even read all your posts in one day! HA! You're awesome. And if I ever feel like a loser, or rather, when I feel like a loser, I'm going to read your post about me. You go girl!
Posted by blueI'm a speed demon. I also kind of need to get a life.
But for now ... I blog like a maniac.
Posted by: red at July 21, 2004 2:01 PMDavid - Don't feel bad. Sheila is unusaul among bloggers (!!). Most put only one piece of content up per day. Not our Sheila. Content, content, content.
Posted by: michael at July 21, 2004 2:35 PMUnusaul. That's Irish for unusual.
Posted by: michael at July 21, 2004 2:36 PMDavid, sometimes I come here for a break ... when I click off Sheila's site, sometimes I find that a couple hours have disappeared.
Posted by: Noggie at July 21, 2004 3:24 PMIf I had my druthers I would sit and discuss Cary Grant and Metallica and James Joyce ALL DAY. It takes a tremendous amount of discipline to do other things.
heeelllllp......
(also ... "druthers"? I don't think I've ever used that word seriously before.)
Posted by: red at July 21, 2004 3:32 PMI'd suggest an intervention, but then where would I go for my Cary Grant/Metallica/James Cagney/James Joyce/6 Feet Under/etc. fix?
Nice to see you're still hanging around, David. I enjoyed your stuff.

What a good name for a horse.
Posted by: michael at July 21, 2004 3:46 PMHmmmm..."druthers." That's another word that's just interesting-sounding. I don't know if it's one of my favorite words, but it's certainly unusual. Or maybe "unusaul." :-p
Posted by: Dave J at July 21, 2004 3:47 PM"unusaul" can be found in Emily's book of Wicked Irish.
Posted by: red at July 21, 2004 3:50 PMBut how is it pronounced?
Posted by: michael at July 21, 2004 4:18 PMIt's pronounced in the usaul way.
Posted by: skillzy at July 21, 2004 6:26 PMI tried to look up druthers but it isn't in the dictionary. What the hell IS a druther?
Posted by: David at July 21, 2004 7:01 PM"If I had my druthers"...
Now that I think about it, I do not approve of that word at all. I have a linguistic source at my fingertips - I will find out the derivation of this STUPID word I have used and get back to you.
Posted by: red at July 21, 2004 8:27 PMI think "unusaul" rhymes with "anusol". At least, that is how I pronounce it. (heh, heh, heh)
Posted by: Beth at July 21, 2004 10:38 PMMy linguistic source failed me on "druthers".
Posted by: red at July 22, 2004 9:37 AMWould one's "druthers" be sort of a contraction of "I'd rather," maybe? That's my guess...
Posted by: Jayne at July 22, 2004 10:52 AMThat's nice work Jayne! "I'd ruther be there than here." Say it fast with an english accent. If you got your wish you'd get your
"druthers". Nice work.
