    Spookie idea Bear... keep moving it closer until it is right up against his window with bigger eyes so it would look like the snow man is amazed with what he is looking at...

    I love when people do silly things like that to get people to laugh. My sister and I used to do funny little things like that all of the time. A few times we scared the crap out of my brother because he wouldn't be expecting the things that we would do. He sure turned it around on us though! LOL! We were always pulling practical jokes on people. I pulled one on my sister not too long ago that almost turned out very bad! Like the US postal service was about to get involved because my joke tied in with something else that was going on that I wasn't aware of! She could have KILLED me! I was laughing my A$$ off when I found out what happened. It was too funny!

    I was sitting one day and had a TV show on while I was playing with Niki. It was Montel, and he had a famous phychic Sylvia Browne on. I really wasn't watching it, but certain parts caught my attn. Someone stood up and asked Sylvia how they could talk to their dead relatives, and she said just talk to them... what do you think you have to have special seonce (sp?) or something? Oh, I forgot to mention that at the time, my computer and phone had not been working for over a week. and I was getting really mad at the service people. Anyway, I said to Niki, (I always talk to her, lol) should we talk to Grandma and Grandpa and ask them to fix Mommy's phone and puter? Then jokingly I said... c'mon Grandma and Grandpa... you can do it! Okay, this is the part you guys are going to say to yourselves... Cuckoo! I SWEAR that about 10 minutes later, my computer fired up and I had internet connection. Well, I sat here and kind of looked around and thought nooo waaayyy! Then I just said... uhhhmmm... thanks? LOL! So anyway, I called my ISP, and they said, oh we're sorry, the servicemen have been so busy but you're next on the list, and he should be there by the end of the day. Okay, weird!!

    So anyway, my sis was online on MSN, so I told her what had happened. She laughed at me and said, well since you're talking to them, can you ask Grandma to send me a homemade apple pie like she used to. So now the fun begins.

    I thought okay, as a joke I'm going to send her an apple pie. My sister lives in the States. So, I got ahold of one of her friends on her Facebook page. I told the girl that I wanted her to deliver an apple pie to my sis, along with a note from "Grandma" She thought it was funny, so agreed. Well this took forever to do, because at first she was just suppose to put the pie on my sis's doorstep, but every time she tried, my sis's dogs would bark, or someone would see her etc. So we decided the mailbox would be best because it was near the street. So here is this poor girl, parking her car at the end of the block, ducking behind cars, carrying this apple pie! Finally she slips it into the mailbox and runs. She msg'd me and told me it was done.

    Okay, now here's what I didn't know! My sis had a creepy mailman that had been stalking her, and she was scared of him. She had made a report to the US Post, and the guy got fired. Do you see where this is going? LOL! She goes out and checks the mail, finds this apple pie. Immediately she thinks it's the stalker mailman. She puts the pie far away from her house just in case it has a bomb of some sort in it! She goes around to all of her neighbours asking if anyone either put a pie in her mailbox, or saw anyone do it. She then calls US Post! They are sending out an investigator, and possibly some troopers! People were keeping their children inside their houses, just to be safe from the "exploding pie!" She calls my mom! Well, my Mom knew about the joke, and was saying... no no no... quick... you have to call back the US Post right now! Your sister sent the pie! It was a joke! I guess US Post and the police didn't find this funny at all! LOL!

    So needless to say, after she got done yelling at me... she laughed her A$$ off and said I should watch my back because she is going to get me for this one! YIKES!!

    Sorry... a little long wasn't it! ;)

    AAAOoooowwwwww!! I just fell down a flight of stairs... :( :( :(

    Broke my shoe AND a nail... and almost my ankle... ouch... :(

    I'm OK, just banged up. Man. That hurt like the words that get edited out of AMHD posts!
  • Jan 7, 2009, 01:42 PM
    starbuck8

    Owwwieeee! Sounds like something I would do Chicky! How did you manage that one? That was a dumb question wasn't it?! Was your heel loose? I almost broke my neck when my heal broke going down the stairs one time, and have still got the scars too! Now the nail! This is serious! You must get that looked at! ;)

    I hope you don't end up with a bunch of bruises! :(
  • Jan 7, 2009, 01:54 PM

    Oh, my whole left side is red and tender... finger is swelling up (not sure how that happened), and my ankle is getting sore...

    Crappy crap. I didn't need this one today!

    No, as I hit the second step, I thought, "Huh, these shoes are rather high for these stairs." then BAM... heel caught and down I went! Ouch. It was bad for the receptionist though, she was behind her desk and since its an "L" shape attached to the wall, she couldn't get out in time to help, she was just watching!

    But you know what? My first statement after I stood up? "Man, i'm glad I don't have to go to the hospital, I didn't shave my legs this morning! Black stockings, woo-hoo!"

    That's bad. Shame on me.

    *sigh*

    Have you put ice on your ankle? I think you should do that and see how it feels afterwards. See if you can get the swelling down. You could have sprained it, especially if your heels were really high. It's easy to twist it. Do you mean the whole left side of your body is numb? Now that's weird! Maybe you should go to the doctor. That doesn't sound good Chicky!

    Yes'm. I'm going home now. Have to pick up the Barbie car from the shop first though. THEN I'll go put ice on it...

    Yikes girls... he sounds like a nutcase... like you said, he won't last long.

    I have mixed feelings about a question I posted today... it started with really great advice, but then someone came on and started giving advice like a "I'm a professional and you should just let us take care of it" attitude. I answered her questions and then she replied with an even lengthier holier than thou answer and said "dont do it" - basically - leave it to the professionals.

    I feel rather slapped on the hand - I haven't said I'm doing it anyway... this was a simple question of what if I DID accept...

    Oh well... could be all kinds of things getting in my way - emotions and all that...

    (oh - the stupid ankle is now all swollen and I can't walk on it without pain... rah... )

    Fell down a flight of stairs... could have broken all kinds of stuff but only came out with a twisted ankle and bruises down my left side. :)... oh and a broken shoe! :(

    Bear, are you applying for the position? I'm sure Chicky would appreciate it. You're young, male, are you available? Dare I try another set up? The one with Sneezy didn't pan out. Or did it? Inquiring minds want to know. Chicky?

    Darnit, I told you I'm in a mood, ::hangs head in shame, walks away:: sorry, you know me, always trying to play cupid, but my aim sucks! :)

    Not a shoe! Say it isn't so. What shoe? Not the red stilletos, tell me it wasn't.
