I can't take credit for this idea. I was inspired by new pal Mom-101, who, if you have not stopped over at her place, is hilarious. Dare I say even more sarcastic and cynical than mother? Anyway, I'm still giggling about her post of the same title and decided to make a meme out of it. Let me just say in advance that I have the "I-really-think-I-invented-it-but-then-I-really-didn't" disease, so my apologies to anyone who actually created this one. If not, I ROCK.
So, go read her post (I Love the 80s Part II) and then feel free to do one of your own - tagged or not.
Here is my likeness ala 80s Hottie:
I'm the tall brunette in the back.
Now, go forth and share pictures (of your likeness, not the REAL you, silly). If you are reading this and laughing and/or you are on my blogroll, then consider yourself tagged. If you want a personal invitation, let me know, but otherwise, YOU are IT. And TB, Kristina, Jaime, and Cori, YOU TOO!
Let the craziness begin.
PS: Who needs code? Get your MotherDuds buttons, kids. They are all the rage.
Hi everyone!
I want to make a gift to my boyfriend. Something special :). I just want to say a few words about my boyfriend. He is my soulmate and i love him. He’s Welsh but without a Welsh accent. Just a northern twang. This is something which troubles him from time to time. He likes talking to himself.
He also likes dogs and knowing every lyric to every Beatles’ song ever. I decided, stupidly, to challenge him on that last point. We were sat at a studenty cafe with rainbow coloured chairs drinking mint tea one afternoon. I picked what I thought was a less-well-known Beatles song and got him to tell me the lyrics. Honey Pie (my favourite), Blackbird, Maxwell’s Silver Hammer - he knew them all, and not just the chorus.
He is excellent at getting himself into situations that other, more practical, people probably would be able to avoid. Map reading is definitely one of his least developed skills. Ask him where north is and he’ll probably say something like “ummm, which way is the wind coming from?” Other things he has been known to do include dropping his ipod into the bath (he was reaching forward for his watch, forgetting that his headphones were attached to something - and then hearing the ipod slip with a gentle splosh into the water) and window shopping - meaning taking a close look at ladies’ underwear and not realising the shop assistant was standing in the shop window until he looked up and saw her scornful face.
So, there are three gift options for me to choose from: X4 Labs Extender; Dual Docking Alarm Clock for iPod and Neuros OSD Media Recorder.
What do you recommend? Any advices will be more then welcome.
Regards, Sara Whook
NSA fun

None that I am personally aware of, but I have never used an iPhone or iTouch. I did a Google search for iPhone wifi and came up with these good tipshttp://iphonenow.info/edge-wifi-use-on-your-iphone-how-and-why/ that might help you out.

Well, I did it - only four or five days behind the web blogging curve. I figured it was either get this done, or feed #2. So I split the difference by throwing Maggie some raw hamburger and bun, and got myself to writing.

This is going to be a tough one. Where am I going to find a photo of Sarah Jessica Parker from the Square Pegs days?
PS I love your hair. Very Bon-Jovi.

Don't forget to tag your pals, kids. Spread the 80s love all around.
Like a big stick of glittery pink lipschmackers.

Oh goodie. I was hoping you would do it. I didn't want to specifically tag you since I pushed my other meme upon you. YAY!
