Thought we needed a thread for sharing random thoughts, comments, and/or general insights on life, about your day, etc.. Not many use the chat box area so thought this thread would be a nice option. Talk about whatever you like!I will go first. It's Friday the 13th! Anyone here superstitious over this day? O_o
Aloha friday!! Whoopee!!!
I know what's going on(yes, I'm pretty clever)
Lol babe...you always seem joyful. :-)Hi Moon!Happy it's Friday! Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend.
is this your random comment for the day or is there a hidden meaning to this?Originally Posted by MoonCanvas
I don't do superstitions, well not personally anyway. But I love messing with people who do believe in superstitious stuff and superstition (the superstitious beliefs held by someone else) may well have saved the lives of myself and my kids once. My Pakistani ex-mother in law believes in Jinns and witchcraft. So I told her I came from a long line of witches and that I had a jinn that did my bidding and that if she did not give us our passports and allow us to leave Pakistan that I would curse her entire family and cause her heart to explode. She already has heart problems and takes a bunch of snake oil stuff to treat it, so after that every chest pain she felt she thought I was causing it. And so she gave us our passports and told her son to send us home.
as for my daily ramblings, I went out for karaoke last night and got to sing a relatively new song (We Are Young by Fun) that I didn't know had even been made into karaoke yet. I did a good job according to the crowd so my head is a bit swollen this morning.
There is hidden meaning. What a coincidence I made my first-ever chatbox rants and now in the same 24hour span you've made this thread. Is it to draw my attention, getting me to post here? I'm excited to hear about your motivation for doing so, but I take it mostly as a compliment.is this your random comment for the day or is there a hidden meaning to this?
Lol seagypsy!! That's too funny. Probably wasn't funny to her. I'm not superstitious per se, except for Friday the 13th.
um, no. Lol no connection. I happened to notice that not many ppl post in the chat box and it might be nice to have a thread for randomness. But we are happy to see you here if that makes your day.There is hidden meaning. What a coincidence I made my first-ever chatbox rants and now in the same 24hour span you've made this thread.

Has anyone ever tried Rapper’s Delight ‘hip hop hippie hippie to the hip hip hop...‘ on Karaoke? I dare you to try! I did it last week, and I bombed!
Like the old lady from Wedding singer? Haha epic.Has anyone ever tried Rapper’s Delight ‘hip hop hippie hippie to the hip hip hop...‘ on Karaoke? I dare you to try! I did it last week, and I bombed!
I will not dare try...heheHas anyone ever tried Rapper’s Delight ‘hip hop hippie hippie to the hip hip hop...‘ on Karaoke? I dare you to try! I did it last week, and I bombed!
Speaking of movies...a great movie to see in theaters now is The Butler. Anyone see Elysium?Like the old lady from Wedding singer? Haha epic.Has anyone ever tried Rapper’s Delight ‘hip hop hippie hippie to the hip hip hop...‘ on Karaoke? I dare you to try! I did it last week, and I bombed!
I remember when that song was new, and I could do all the lyrics in full.Has anyone ever tried Rapper’s Delight ‘hip hop hippie hippie to the hip hip hop...‘ on Karaoke? I dare you to try! I did it last week, and I bombed!
I used to host karaoke so I learned to sing sober pretty quick. It's hard to dj a show while drunk. The crowd seems to notice when you aren't running the equipment quite right.I remember when that song was new, and I could do all the lyrics in full.Has anyone ever tried Rapper’s Delight ‘hip hop hippie hippie to the hip hip hop...‘ on Karaoke?

My first husband "sang" Rappers Delight a lot. It was probably the only thing he was ever really good at/for. He can't actually sing but he has a good radio voice like that homeless guy that shocked people a while back. Only not as good looking as the homeless guy.
I will have to try to learn the Rappers delight though and try it. Maybe Neverfly will get it on his phone cam and we can upload it to youtube.
Only recent movie I have seen was Kick Ass 2. I thought it was pretty good but it's target audience is probably teen girls. But I saw it with my teen daughter so it kinda worked out.
Yesterday in Developmental Psych, spanking came up in the lecture. There was a little debate about it, anyway... One peer in my class said that it worked on her, and her siblings. She closed her statement with, "Now that I'm grown up we discuss things like adults, so they don't spank me anymore." I'm still laughing about that.
17!
(Didn't want to be too random.)
Hacker humour...
Lol that's funny!If there were ever an award for random comments, you sir would win.
Confession; I'm Dywyddyr, MoonCanvas is just my alt. I made it look like Moon was a different person by posting ridiculous threads as Moon and then going after "his" posts.
Was that a modern warfare two reference? I remember something by that name from my gaming days....
Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball
If you like hot female singers this should brighten your day. Besides this video is getting more YouTube hits than any other video and I enjoyed it very much.
There's a party in my pants..and ya'll are all invited.

Ok...random comment...that big foot thread cracks me UPPP!!
No you're not...Dy is intelligent...and you are a (edit) full retard....and everyone knows...you don't go full retard.

Wouldn't that be the point? I take it you're still drunk.No you're not...Dy is intelligent...and you are a fucking full retard....and everyone knows...you don't go full retard.
No. Like I said, it's a hacker thing.Was that a modern warfare two reference? I remember something by that name from my gaming days....
17 is the least random number.
You're nowhere near smart enough to be me.
Moon canvas...play nice with the other kids k?Seriously...just be cool, boy. :-)
Yeah...Im drunk...but tomorrow, I will be sober, and you will still be a retard.
Churchill himself couldn't have said it better.
This doesn't feel so random anymore.O_o
It ain't easy being a super-genius. Everyone's always out to get ya, brobert.
I have a random QUESTION. Why do ppl tailgate me when I'm driving in the far right lane?Go around me, hello?
Who told you that?
A dumb person mistakes themselves for being smart, a smart person knows themselves to be smart, but in the end everyone thinks they're smart. So in other words your statement is incredibly redundant.You're nowhere near smart enough to be me.
Well..I've know Dy for many years, and his knowledge of numerous topics is without reproach.
What do you got? (edit)

Men are funny to me. Pissing contests and such.
MoonCanvas; why are ppl angry with you? What have you done? Lol

I pointed out the redundancy of your comment, by mentioning that agreeing with many of another person's ideas/thoughts is enough for them to say "his/her knowledge of numerous topics is without reproach". You agree with him and thus think he's smart because you think you're smart(since everyone on the planet thinks they're smart, whether dumb, average or smart). Your statements are lacking of substance.What the hell...that didn't make any sense at all?

Made posts where the intent clearly had been in the aim of instigating fights, has made intolerant remarks concerning race and culture, and carries himself in what appears to be a generally unlikeable and obnoxious manner. He be trollin' sister.
I'm not allowed to be racist? How intolerant.
No ...racism is not acceptable. Online or off. :/
I wasn't being serious that last post. Just saying.
Good, MC. On a random note, I will never buy another Apple product ever again!:/
Why?
@ bad robot; 1) screen is smaller than Samsung galaxy which I wish I had purchased 2) gets stuck in "magnified mode" all the time3) auto correct sucks; corrects words it shouldn't, leaves words a jumbled mess wtf?4) typing words, and they get "stuck" and you can't see each word at a time5) texts are being sent twice for some reason
I could go on and on with my first world problems.:-PP
Oh! You are just referring to an iPhone. It sounded like you were picking on all Apple products. In any event much of your complaint is coming from how you are using the product. I don't use Apple products, but not because I don't think they aren't good. I do know people with iPhones that swear by them and can't wait to buy the new models as soon as they can get them.
When it comes to posting on forums I need a computer with a keyboard and I prefer a desktop with a mouse and the fastest connection I can afford. I've always used MS operating systems and don't want to change my old set ways. But let me ask you. Is there any way you can test drive new phones before you lock yourself in on a 2 year contract?
@ bad robot;I agree, a computer for posting on the forums is best. For example, I can't copy and paste or multi quote without losing my place or getting kicked off the Internet, while using the iPhone. Thx for your thoughts to it.On another note...Friday the 13th is past us....and knock on virtual wood, nothing bad happened.
In the last 13 years I have had a slew of bad luck...putting it mildly.Lol babe...you always seem joyful. :-)Hi Moon!Happy it's Friday! Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend.
I have always held, that looking for the silver lining and the joy in what you DO have, counts.
I live my life that way.
I find the joy, sometimes even in the pain.
It is life.
We kind of make our own paths to follow. I will follow my JOY!
Its after midnight. I should go startle my sleeping daughter to tell her happybirthday. She hates to be woken up after she has fallen asleep. But I am a cruel mean mother who tortures her children in order to prepare them for the harsh realities of adulthood.
And I thoroughly enjoy pestering her. She does this thing with her face when she is mad. I just wanna post it on youtube some day.
Oh, and I only sing Broadway, Light Opera, and old folks songs (from the 1600's and forward) *L*
I am not a great karaoke candidate!
You know if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all.@ bad robot;I agree, a computer for posting on the forums is best. For example, I can't copy and paste or multi quote without losing my place or getting kicked off the Internet, while using the iPhone.

wegs, R1D2 also uses a phone for posting and the reason he doesn't post in this forum, is he has trouble he doesn't have in the SF forum.
One thing you might try and do is start a topic in both forums just for people that posts with their phones and compare phones and notes on how they work and who knows maybe you'll find out some info that will help with your next phone selection.
I "liked" Seagypsy's post just to see if it'll show up on her screen even though she has me set on ignore. If it shows up then I'll be mildly amused.
I thought I'd let you all know. I really am a fairy, and Big Foot really does exist.
@ seagypsy: lol ...she will look back and appreciate what a fun(ny) mom she had.
@ moon...you are easily amused, I see. :-}}
Regarding the ignore feature. I have tried using it before, but I could still see the person's comments in quotes, that other ppl quoted. So, it's not bullet proof. :/
I am TINKERBELLE!!
STAND DOWN!
The clue is, if you see that, you only read the person you want to. Ignore is pretty easy.@ seagypsy: lol ...she will look back and appreciate what a fun(ny) mom she had.

Hope everyone's doing well? My random words of wisdom today, and I really mean them...''When people show you who they are the first time, believe them.'' I won't get into details, but trust your gut, for it rarely steers you wrong when you get a really bad vibe about a person.
Doing ok. Little worried about my eye...redder and watering more than usual...then again the first two weeks are the roughest....
Did I miss something about your eye?
I had surgery last Monday. Cataract for right eye, which would be a piece of cake, if not for they are my eyes! *L*Did I miss something about your eye?
I have acute advanced and not stabilized glaucoma.
I have had 216 laser holes drilled into each eye.
I had Ahmed implants in both eyes complete with chemo shots following surgery, into the eye, for a month (was supposed to be 6 weeks but I had some very adverse reactions...like seeing four of everything...trust me it's a big big bummer!!))
Then I developed cataracts from the Ahmeds and I went from 20/25 to almost legally blind in my right eye in 3 1/2 months. The lens they had to build had to deal with all the previous surgeries.
Standing now. 4-6 months for definitive eye prognosis as to sight.
But I can now see out of my right eye.
Now my left to go.
Then the Ahmeds should fail in about a year...and the circus continues.
My anesthesiologist gave me TWO hugs and big smoochies after this last surgery...seems I fight being under when I am scared shitless. Dang..who'd a thought!
I had cataract surgery in my left eye only about 23 years ago, but I didn't have any other problems. But I can relate to how you feel about it.I had surgery last Monday. Cataract for right eye, which would be a piece of cake, if not for they are my eyes! *L*Did I miss something about your eye?

I would have a difficult time living alone mostly in a remote area (generally speaking) and no eyesight...and going to the ocean would be a bitch!
I'm sorry to hear babe, I've had you in my thoughts. Eye health is something I often take for granted, never have had any issues. Like you say, I think the first few weeks things might be a little rough, and then, hopefully, you'll be on the mend, chica! ((big healing hugs))
A *random* video...I went to a party earlier, and this song played...it's such a fun tune to dance to...this will cheer you up, babe!
I focus on positives.
Negatives aren't worth a shit!
Sorry Mods
Have you ever bought 5 Power Ball tickets and not hit a single number? What a let down.
Random thought:
If the Earth was flat, then how would the horizon look like?
That one sounded good to me.A Yahoo best answer.
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
There would be no horizon...as the horizon is the point where the curvature of the Earth drops below the line of sight.
You would just see as far as your eyes allowed. The distance would fade away.

My eyesight hasn't gotten that bad yet.
Actually I can't really imagine what that would look like. But I did read a Scifi story once that was based on living inside a very large sphere. I think Dyson was mentioned. I can't remember the horizon description but it was weird.

It just dawned on me today, looking at your username, that it is a clever construct of PhD + Demon. Yes, I just 'got' that.
In my first year of college, there was a huge gathering of students for our introduction to philosophy class.
The lecturer asked "who said"- something, dont quiet remember. I raised my hand filled with bravado and said loudly with 500 other students in the hall watching me "The answer is ofcourse, Aristotle, the father of philosophy". Lecturer said "Correct!"
The point? When I sat down I was a sweatting nervous wreck - as I was simply guessing.
A+ for staying on topic with randomness.
He is a little devil!It just dawned on me today, looking at your username, that it is a clever construct of PhD + Demon. Yes, I just 'got' that.

Way too expensive.
mine is $36.00 with my plan

better that or Samsung Galaxy

It requires some imagination to be able to get that!Good job it's not iPhDemon then...
How do you feel about?

My random comment (and action) of the day is that I just finished reading this entire thread, having missed it's start while I was working graveyard shift. In other related news, I have installed 14 of the metal fence panels before being held up by rain and my Lithium Ion Battery powered chainsaw has not yet arrived. I require that implement of destruction for the removal of the existing post and rail fence that the metal one is replacing.
A battery power chainsaw! I have my doubts about how that will work out.

Speaking of dressing up...anyone here attend any costume parties during Halloween? Since I'm dating someone, we are planning to attend a party or two...and guess what I'm dressing up as?
If it works as well as my Makita cordless power tools bought this summer, I'll be quite pleased enough. The reviews say it will run for up to 35 minutes or 150 cuts through 2 x 4 on a single charge. That's pretty close to the same as my old Husky 45's. I will not have to mix and store gas, no more deciding if it needs to be choked prior to starting etc. I have the high speed battery charger coming. Just lock and load, baby, and we are good to go! Yes, it has a 12" bar and rated to only cut 8" wood, but what can I say? I've got nothing to prove and I hate wasting time. This tool will work for ME and that's the chief factor in this decision. I'm the one doing the yard work and construction and this tool looks to be good for my needs. I did reams of reading and research before I elected to get one. Now, I'm getting impatient because they are not very easy to come by, lol... I will post my findings once I have had a chance to field test the machine.Originally posted by Bad Robot:
