Chatbox II: The Rebirth

I just want to get out of this city, and that's not happening until September 5th.

 

What do you guys call the thing you sweep dirt into after you've swept the floor in England? I always called it a dustbin, but I have a friend and a coworker (from Austria) who both call it a shovel.

That would have scared me while I was in it, but been very cool afterward.

During our last big storm, one of the flight instructors where Joel works didn't come back in fast enough and got trapped at another airport. Joel had to go save him and his student.

I can't stand oxygen!

Now if only it were the last day of back to school shopping...work is making me tired.

and I feel your pain, Merc. I've got the same problem with my ears. I don't go swimming very often, and when I do, I don't usually put my head under the water (unless Joel decides to be a jerk and dunk me even though I tell him not to), but I still manage to get swimmer's ear all the time. Bah. Ears.

 

Assuming you don't include me in the comment about people your own age, I agree. There are some exceptions though, my only (at least de-closeted) gay friend, and most of my other friends as well.

 

Hi Heather!

 

We call it a dustpan. I don't know why.

 

Good morning all. Happy Monday. Oh, and I call it a dustpan too.

 

Evening, Mercy.

 

I also say dustpan. You're a freak, Heather.

Morning, 'Mina.

 

Haha I guess I am. I think my family calls it a dustpan, don't know where I picked up the bin from...

At least I'm closer with dustbin than my friend who calls it a shovel, though. She also calls the TV remote a "beep beep." Hmm...

 

How are things going?

 

I use dustpan and dustbin interchangeably.

I call those hairties "doogies." Dunno why --I just always grew up calling them that. I also call blankets "oshlas" in the privacy of my own home where everyone knows what I'm talking about.
And bananas are bababas.

Yeah... I have a few people I can stand. Most people on my school newspaper and my best friend everrrrrr. And you guys of course.

Everyone else is pretty silly.

Actually, I'd like to edit my statement. Maybe I'm just not much of a people person in general; why should I limit it to people my own age? I like people alright, I guess... but not every day!

 

I call it a distpan too. The dust bin would be what you pour th dirt into after it's been swept into the pan. Then again, we usually just call that the garbage.

 

I call it a dustpan also. Morning peoples.

 

I am definitely not a people's person so I completely understand where your statement is coming from

 

Oy. Once again, I've managed to create so much steam in the shower that I set off the smoke alarm. I gotta stop doing that. It worries the neighbours.

 

I'm really not much of a people person, but I'm extremely good at faking it.

Be careful with your bad self, Rei.

 

I'm really good at faking it too. I dont know if that's good or bad.

 

Oh and ditto to what Ragner said. I'm so not a people's person either.

 

This may make me sound like a crotchety old lady, but I have very little patience for people. I don't normally have a bad temper, but when I'm around a lot of people, it cuts my fuse in half.

Edit: Ok, so like four other people said they weren't people people by the time I typed that...maybe I'm not such a crotchety old lady after all.

 

I read that out of context...

Anyway, why do I keep looking at the spanish tavern everytime someone posts, even though I can''t speak spanish?

 

You dog.

Because you want to learn. And, because according to my last post there, there is always a party when I'm around.

 

Hahaaaaa, Xeno!

And I do it too. I speak some Spanish, though, so I think maybe I'm just looking at it hoping that I'll understand more than I actually do.

 

Don't judge me too harshly you antisocials, but I am actually a people person...it helps in my line of work...that isn't to say they can't drive me crazy...but in general I am a social buterfly

 

Not my fault!

Ah. But For all I know, your post could have been about dried tomatoes and I wouldn't know the difference.

 

What? A people person? Shun her!

I honestly wish I was more of a people person. I don't know if it stems from my childhood (I was shy to the point of having social anxiety) or if it's working retail, but anytime I'm around a group of people, I can feel my blood pressure rising...
