Have I gotten cooties again, or WHAT!?!?!?!?!?

1. Cooties?

[HopeHoops]

2. Didn't they treat that in the hospital while you were there?

We had cootie injections when we were five.

On Edit: AND cootie spray.

[surrealAmerican]

6. We had to get those about once a week ...

... for three years at my school.


The good news was, once you were 9, you were totally protected.

[HopeHoops]

12. Nah. It wasn't until 9th grade that I decided cooties were cool.

[A Simple Game]

3. Doesn't matter to me, I've had cooties so many times, I'm immune. n/t

[nolabear]

4. No, Baby. We're tired, and it's summer, and the Lounge is deader'n a mackeral in brine.

Actually DU's a little dead lately. Burnout? Maybe. But I'm sure it isn't, nor has it ever been, a lack of love.

Back to work! (Me, not you. Unless you want to. No pressure. )

[MiddleFingerMom]

5. Thanks, nolabear... but I ain't buyin' it.

But thanks for trying.

Other posts are lively (and deservedly so) and bounced back up a LOT -- I've been kicking a lot of
zeroes back up (again) for the last few days and the ones that DO get a couple of answers drop
like rocks... now with low views, even... and almost NEVER survive 'til the next day.

WTF? WTF do I keep doing WRONG?!?!?

10. I tend to agree with nolabear on this one MFM.

You know this place runs in cycles. We're just in a bit of a lull right now. You've put up some good stuff, don't sweat it man.

[MiddleFingerMom]

11. Look at the other prolific funny folks in The Lounge (there's a number of 'em). Ain't no lull there.

But thanks.

17. Hey...I've had a stupidly busy week...

...with a broken copier, a busted press, an ancient computer that thinks 87° is too hot to actually work, a boss that is going on vacation next week and has NO desire to fix anything or do anything, a cat that woke me up at 5am projectile vomiting all over my bedroom, a swamp cooler that is useless when there's friggin' humidity, a broken shoelace, a broken Thermos that was only 3 days old and Monday was my big sister's bday and I've been depressed all week because I couldn't celebrate it with her.

You aren't doing anything wrong unless you broke my copier or poisoned my cat.

You need to understand something, young man, I don't always have time to comment, I can't rec from work 'cause the stupid buttons don't work. BUT...when I get a few minutes to check in your posts always make me smile, giggle or...wince. I need them to get me through the friggin' day. AND, some of...no..many of your posts I just can't come up with something to say.

So there.

7. You amuse us to such a degree

that leaves us speechless and therefore, unable to post in response. I know that I look at each and every one of your threads because I know they will amuse me in some way. I apologize for not recognizing that you need more positive feed-back than the average bear so I will henceforth make a greater effort to let you know that your humor is appreciated.

By the way, about those cooties........... ewwwww.

[MiddleFingerMom]

8. Not so much MORE positive feedback as it is getting mixed messages from far LESS positive feedback.

I'm TOLD one thing and SHOWN another -- CONSISTENTLY (how many of these have I done trying to figure it out?).
.
.

It's demoralizing.
.
.

Heh-heh... he said "moral".

9. Have you made a historically important Supreme Court decision today?

If not, no attention for you today.

But you HAVE made me laugh a bunch of times today, so my apologies for not letting you know that I appreciate your posts!

Good to see you back in full form. That means all is well with the world.

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. You know what the most ironic, head-scratching thing is for me? Funny posts ABOUT me...

.
.
.
... posted by other folks get FAR more replies than the vast majority of posts that I make myself.
.
.
.
Don't make me do the Seinfeld cliched "What's up..." line!!! You wouldn't LIKE me Seinfeld.

14. You've become a legend, Dood.

For generations to come, people will say they were there when the Great MFM did XYZ or showed his LMNOP. MFM is bigger than all of us. Don't fight the greatness.

[Kali]

15. post in meta

if you want a lot of feedback

[nolabear]

16. Excellent point.

Threads, subthreads, subsubthreads, doublebacks, crossposts, ignorings, hidings, it's got it all! It's like a vacation for your sanity!

[MiddleFingerMom]

18. OK, dammit... I WILL!!!

Do you really think they'll appreciate my sense of humor?

[CaliforniaPeggy]
