Time for an 'ask me anything' thread...

[reyd reid reed]

because:

1. It's too quiet tonight and it's starting to scare me :scared:

and

2. I haven't done one in a loooooooooooong time.

[grannylib]

1. What's your favorite CD? (This week, anyway *lol*)

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

5. I don't know that I have one this week...

I've been listening to a lot of The Casualties and Ozzy Osbourn, but that's not really my doing. And when the kids finally stop, I usually just enjoy the (relative) silence.

And wait for the ringing in my ears to subside.

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

2. I've got to get some sleep

but wanted to say :hi: and :hug:

Miss you...

[reyd reid reed]

6. But....but....it's still early!!!!

:hug: :loveya: :hug:

[MrScorpio]

3. What was the hardest thing that you dreaded to do that actually turned out easy?

[reyd reid reed]

7. There've been a lot of 'em...but prolly

having my first baby. Or my root canal. I think the root canal was scarier -- at the time -- because I knew I *could* get up and walk away. If I really wanted to (and when they said I wouldn't need novocaine, I damn near did). A little harder with a baby, though.

[Inchworm]

4. noone ever answers...

How does a speedometer work in a car :D

and.. I love you.

Link me stuff to read and I'll hunt you down :P

:*

[reyd reid reed]

8. Awwwwww, now would I do that?

Okay...I can't be absotively sure because it's been a while, but it has something to do with being connected to the transmission and measuring that somehow. I remember reading it somewhere, years ago...has to do with magnets? And transmissions?

[Inchworm]

9. It has to be pressure

somehow. If you play with old cars you'd know some speedometers jump 10-20 mph :D

That's why it can't be cables.

I about give up on a simple explanation. hehe

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

10. Yeah, but aren't there different types of speedometers?

I mean, they all do pretty much the same thing, but as technology rears its ugly head, I'd think it'd change that, too.

But I dunno. A car expert, I ain't. I can change my oil and my plugs and my air filter and my battery and that's about it. And I'd usually rather find some nice guy to do even those things for me.

:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Have tools

Don't travel. :P

[reyd reid reed]

14. Well, hell...

what good is that, then?

:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Moral support?

:shrug:

[reyd reid reed]

16. Moral support ain't gonna get me a

manicure if I have to change my own plugs.

:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Manicure, schwa!

You know how many gallons of lotion I've put on my cutes after smashin' 'em on head bolts 'n' shit? x(

[reyd reid reed]

18. Yeah, but I'll bet you haven't

chipped your polish all to hell.

x(

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. I know a solution for that

Don't polish 'em. :P

[reyd reid reed]

20. But they look so purty

when they're all done up.

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. I know, but

you can be purty or you can twist wrenches. Can't do both.

[reyd reid reed]

22. and that takes us back to the original

statement. I can get in there and twist a wrench...but I'd rather find someone else to do it for me.

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. Just so your nails'll stay purty?

I doubt it. :P

[reyd reid reed]

24. I dunno...

I've always been very vain when it comes to my nails.

Very vain.

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. Me, too

But I don't paint 'em. :)

[reyd reid reed]

27. You don't know what you're missin'

It's nice to have 'em all shiny and purty. Plus, it's really, really nice when someone does 'em for you.

*sigh*

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. Yeah, but

that's about touch, not purty nails.

[reyd reid reed]

35. It's a two-fer.

And the end result is still purty nails.

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. What about the middle result?

/editor



:P

[reyd reid reed]

40. Come here

and I'll show you.

[Oeditpus Rex]

42. That's okay

I can see fine from here. :)

[reyd reid reed]

44. Yeah, yeah

[Oeditpus Rex]

48. No, NO, boy!

Yer sposta hit th' BAW with it! Th' BAW!









Now, come over here and I'll show ya how t' make a nice paper aerioplane.

[tigereye]

11. when does the baking start?

:bounce:


:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

13. Heh...next week,

with all the Thanksgiving stuff. I've got one recipe that needs to sit for at least a month, so I might have to get that one done in the next few days...and then it just grows from there. Next weekend I think I'm going to do the gingerbread house. Last year I was late getting it done and I regretted it. It turned out fine, it's just that...well...I felt like I was rushing it.

[mcctatas]

26. Why have I never done one of these?

Is it because I'm shy? ;)

[reyd reid reed]

28. You must've done at least one.

At least.

[mcctatas]

29. Nope...

unless I was seriously PUI! :crazy:

[reyd reid reed]

30. I haven't done one in a long, long time.

Of course, I haven't posted nearly as much over the past year or two. Most of my posts were piled up in the first...6 months?...I was here.

Scary.

[mwooldri]

31. Apart from the BBC, what's the best thing to come out of the UK TV-wise?

For me it's ABC, ATV and Thames.

Mark.

[reyd reid reed]

41. Now, this confirms my idiot status

I see those and I think of things other that UK TV.

[elshiva]

33. Why does the porridge bird lay it's eggs in the air?

[reyd reid reed]

37. It doesn't.

People think that because of the mess, but it doesn't.

[elshiva]

38. What do you know about your insect reflection?

[reyd reid reed]

43. Only that it requires

an introduction.

[elshiva]

45. Is Santa Claus a Black Man?

Does he look just like my father, too?

[reyd reid reed]

46. Of course

and every bit as handsome.

[elshiva]

47. Where is Dick Cheney's undisclosed location?

[NoodleBoy]

34. how did I go through my whole life without ever giving death cab for cutie a listen until now?

[reyd reid reed]

39. Wrong place, wrong time.

What else could it be?

[orleans]

49. am i coming down with a cold and if so then who the fuck did i get it from? n/t
