So what did we all do while DU was down?

[bicentennial_baby]

Me, I worked, cleaned the house, and played with the kitten, and read the latest issue of Gourmet a bit. :)

How about y'all? :hi:

[Fox Mulder]

1. I slept all day.

[VenusRising]

2. I made up

The Very Random "I Miss DU" survey for MySpace. No, it wasn't productive, but I feel crappy today.

I'm glad you got things accomplished.

How is that new kitty of yours? Are there pics yet?

:hi:

edited for punctuation. I told you I felt crappy.

[SPKrazy]

48. Awwww, Well At Least You Didn't Get Lasered!

:hug:

[VenusRising]

80. It could have been bad.

Although, if the laser makes me feel better.....go ahead. Blast me.

:hug:

[ghostsofgiants]

3. Watched shit on vbs.tv

www.vbs.tv

[raccoon]

4. Looked at a site which is similar but not as good. God, I missed DU! nt

[malta blue]

5. I visited two other sites and feel yucky from being

at one of them....:puke:

[bicentennial_baby]

12. Hehe, I bet I know which one...

I went there as well....Ew.

:hi:

[malta blue]

13. I did get some good trollbashing in...

I usually don't venture into GD here, but I did over there and started kickin' a$$...

Glad you had a nice day - great to see you:hi:

[deepthought42]

65. Yeah? me too...

don't know if it was the same site or not...I was playing nice, but they don't seem to be fans of DU... *sigh*

I'm glad to be back! :)

:hug:

[malta blue]

86. I saw you at the one. but the other was...

ferocious - one of those both sides kind of places...:scared:

The racist, bigotted, xenophobic venom was out of control. Gladly, a friend who is a former DUer had my back.

I am glad to be back too! :hug:

[deepthought42]

89. Yeah, I kinda lurked around, tried to be nice...

but it sucked that I felt I couldn't even say "not all of us at DU are bad...I like the Lounge. Why are we at odds in the first place? It's not like one is a conservative site and the other a liberal one..."

I missed the Lounge, and my fellow Loungers! There's nothing quite like it. :silly: :toast:

[soleft]

6. Work

:shrug:

[supernova]

7. Got groceries, looked at a similar site

but didn't like it as much.

I still need to do some house work. I'm behind on the dishes and the sweeping. :P

[kwassa]

8. I was forced to do my job, and nothing else.

Cruel and unusual.

[AngryAmish]

9. 'baiting

[Rob H.]

10. I was curled up in the fetal position, sobbing and sucking my thumb

I'm series!!!1!!11!!!

Okay, not really, but I'm glad it's back. :)

[deadparrot]

11. Slept in, walked, made deviled eggs.

Gotta go in for work orientation in a few hours. :hi:

[DainBramaged]

14. Washed clothes and comforters, cleaned oven

cleaned off table full of crap, talked to friends, planned a date for tonight. Sorted out pots and pans and threw out the junk and SIMPLIFIED my life a bit more.

[bicentennial_baby]

15. Now you were productive!

Go you! :bounce:

[DainBramaged]

99. Went on great date, making brownies in my CLEAN oven as I type.

[RetroLounge]

21. Check your PM in a minute

:hi:

RL

[SarahB]

23. Didn't even know it was down.

I left just before 8am, spent all day at a review for my nursing boards, came home, and there it was. Only the time stamp tells the tale. :D

[Omphaloskepsis]

24. I went to the bank to cash a check.

Went to the local strip club for lunch... Hey, they have really cheap food. I got a huge plate of chicken strips and french fries for under three bucks. After lunch I went to check out a few apartments.

[bicentennial_baby]

30. Hey, nothing wrong with that!

:hi:

[LaraMN]

25. I installed flooring in my landing.

I didn't even screw it up!
Yay me!


:bounce:

[bicentennial_baby]

29. Well of course...

B/c you rock so hard....duh! :loveya:

[SKKY]

37. You FUBAR the laundry, yet you installed flooring?

Who understands women?

[LaraMN]

43. Bwahaha!

Don't worry- I don't make sense to much of anyone- least of all myself.
:D

[mainegreen]

26. stuff.

:P

[lizerdbits]

27. Watched some Chasers War on Everything clips on youtube

I had 2 incubations today I thought I was going to be cruising DU but alas, I had to watch the hilarious Chasers clips.

[Joe Fields]

28. refurbished patio furniture.

[Shine]

31. I drove for my 4th grader's class field trip

It was bowling at the local alley with their Pen Pal class (another 4th grade class)from another school, followed by a picnic with all of them at a local park. They were meeting each other for the first time and they'd been exchanging letters all school year. It was pretty cute.

Fun, fun, fun!! :hi:

[Mad_Dem_X]

32. Um...

Read "Brokeback Mountain" slash fan fiction. :blush:

[bigwillq]

33. I watched tennis.

And was on myspace for a bit. :)

[Guava Jelly]

:silly:

[bicentennial_baby]

[BluePatriot]

35. I was way more productive at work

and should probably be working now...yeah...no

[LeftyMom]

38. I updated my resume.

:)

[querelle]

39. I Was At Work

And too busy too even check out DU even once. To tell you the truth, I didn't even know it was down today until I got home and saw your post!

:hi:

Q

[NMDemDist2]

40. ACK!!!

:scared:

:yoiks:

:hide:

[tigereye]

41. sent out involces that have been sitting here a while

[graywarrior]

46. Had a bad attitude at work all day.

And they want me back. Sheesh.

[SPKrazy]

47. Worked

like I usually do

I don't have access to du at work, and I occasionally have an opportunity to check it from home if I go home for lunch, but that is really a pain in the butt too.

So nothing different.

I did email some fellow du'ers, but I do that normally too.

So maybe nothing different.

:rofl:

[ThatsMyBarack]

49. Online Boggle.

Also ate lunch, took a nap, and went to practice skating (in that order).

[Inchworm]

50. Went to stupid Lowes and spent too much stupid money

But those dang squirrels will end their reign! A cease and desist contract is being negotiated as I speak. We are currently in an armistice, but if further onslought is taken on my feeders, I will bring in the hawks!

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

56. From about 8am-4pm!

:o

Me too! :hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

59. I saw the message saying it'd be out...

...but I figured they'd be taking care of things in the wee hours...

[ElizabethDC]

55. I kept clicking on it, hoping it was back

I also had a guy from Dell come over to fix some problems with my computer.

[av8rdave]

57. I was out of town...daughter's college orientation...missed all the fun!

[bicentennial_baby]

58. Hey! How did that go?

:hi:

[av8rdave]

60. It went really well, thanks

She got her housing assignment, roommate, registered for classes, etc. She is really excited!

Already have the hotel bookings for move in days, parent's weekend, homecoming. It will be a crazy fall.

[bicentennial_baby]

61. Oh, that's wonderful!

I'm so glad it went well! I'm sure she'll have a great time, and do well. :)

[no name no slogan]

62. writhed in pain, stayed home from work

I have an abscessed tooth that's in serious need of a root canal. And I'm trying to avoid taking Vicodin, but I can't take ibuprofen for it either. :(

[NMDemDist2]

67. poor baby! hope you are getting to the dentist tomorrow!

:hug:

[no name no slogan]

77. Thanks! I'm there in another 13 hours

Going for a root canal. I think I will pop a vicodin tonight though. I barely slept last night, even after taking my normal Ambien dose. Ah, pain, such fun... :)

[bicentennial_baby]

68. Man, I feel you...

I've had those...I swear it's worse than when I broke my femur. :hug:

[no name no slogan]

78. Thanks bi_baby

Hopefully it'll be simple tomorrow. Ah well, at least I get to miss another day of work (unpaid, too, since I burned all my sick leave earlier this year :( )

[mvd]

70. You better get to a dentist

It could be abscessed. :-(

[no name no slogan]

75. Going for the root canal tomorrow @ 8:45

I saw my regular dentist today at noon, and he referred me to the endodontist for the root canal. I've never had one before, so this should be fun...

[mvd]

79. They aren't as bad as they used to be

I can tell you that at least.

[BarenakedLady]

63. Lots

Laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, carting kids around, cooking, cleaning, folding...bah.

Nothing fun.

[Inchworm]

87. At least you ain't

a super slacker monkey like me!

[BarenakedLady]

88. No I ain't

[Richard Steele]

64. Worked on my latest painting.

It's coming along OK.

[mvd]

66. Good luck with your painting!

I love to create. I didn't put some albums on my above list since I'm still evaluating them, but Alexa Wilkinson's and The Clientele's albums could be A+.

[LynneSin]

69. Click ** Refresh ** Curse Repeatedly ** Repeat

actually got some work done

[bicentennial_baby]

82. Never a bad thing, eh?

:hi:

I did the same thing, when I had computer access... :yoiks:

[deepthought42]

74. I did...

FILING!!! :scared:


Please don't make me do that again...I felt so lonely! :cry:

[KamaAina]

76. Slept, then went to a meeting

but bear in mind that the downtime started at 2 AM Hawai'i time. The time difference also helps us escape Bush**'s live TV appearances: "Oh darn. Not pau hana time yet. And I was SO looking forward to hearing him..." :sarcasm:

[bicentennial_baby]

83. Lucky you!

I caught him before I went to work... x(

:hi:

[NC_Nurse]

84. Worked way too long.

I'm tired. :-(

[RevolutionaryActs]

85. I was at work.

Or sleeping, since I think it went down really early here. All in all, my day was normal. :P

[Redstone]

90. DU was down? I missed it this time. I was in the land of Nod, probably, where I'm

going to be again in about 5 minutes.

Redstone

[YellowRubberDuckie]

91. I was at work....

Didn't know the difference. :hi:

[GenDem]

92. This is a long day for me

Started work at 9 am and just ended at 9 pm. I missed the entire down time.

[femmocrat]

93. I was at work, but....

I sure missed my noontime headlines. I tried buzzflash, but it just wasn't the same.... :cry:

[VelmaD]

94. made do with other sites...

mostly McBlogger and Gritsforbreakfast. But it wasn't the same.

[Danger Mouse]

95. I was at work all day, same as every other day. Didn't even notice DU was down.

[deepthought42]

97. LOSER!!!

:P

[Danger Mouse]

98. And proud of it. LOSER!!

:P
I have access to the internets at work, but since kids can get on the internets just about every site is blocked, I'm sure DU is one of them. Not like I'd have time to relax and sit down and DU anyway the way things are going lately...

[deepthought42]

100. Awww...are you gonna have to show them who's boss?

With them being the bosses...cuz you're a loser! :P

Nah... ;) Hope things calm down at work. :hug:

[Danger Mouse]

102. Things only calm down if the kids calm down.

In one case, that is very unlikely to happen anytime soon.
Yes...

[deepthought42]

104. Hmmm...sure makes me wanna have kids...

or not....lol

[Danger Mouse]

105. 9 times ot of 10 these kids come from lousy home situations.

Half the battle is being a loving, competent parent that provides a safe and stable home environment, consistent rules, and fair, reasonable punishments.

[otherlander]

96. Went to school

Then hung out in the art room with some kids listening to Japanese rock songs.

Then went home and did some gardening.

[Left Is Write]

101. Apparently, some of us got pregnant.

[AwakeAtLast]

106. Well, it is in the water

That Culligan Man must be doing his job! ;)

[Left Is Write]

107. So I hear!

That's why I'm drinking wine.

[madrchsod]

103. cleaned the bathrooms top to bottom

washed the kitchen floor,dishes,vacuumed the rest of the house ,and washed the clothes. went to the store and fixed lunch and started supper...
