Scullies and Mulders
Deborah
I'm suggesting this in a sense of fun, but so many folks around here are
soooo deadly serious, I'm a little hesitant to post it. Ah, what the heck.
Maybe we could divide into Scullies and Mulders. The Scullies are
suspicious, tend not to believe in the unusual. While they might believe in
miracles, they don't expect them.
The Mulders want so much to believe that we'll grasp at any straw to prove
our theories. WE WANT TO BELIEVE and it doesn't take that much to keep us
going. Translate "I want to believe" into "I want to watch". We believe in
extreme possibilities like - the show may still be worth watching without
Mulder.
Guess we'll all find out in a couple weeks if, to continue the metaphor,
aliens do exist, but the Scullies, no matter if an alien kicks them in the
shins, still won't believe, while the Mulders, if they just see an
unexplained light will be in awe.
Just a little Sunday morning fun, not heresy, not veiled insults, nothing to
provoke anger. Just a little fun, like the show. r
Did you all set your clocks back?

Or, The Skinners - They're afraid to believe but they want to have the
courage to believe and out of loyalty and personal observation, they
know they now must believe.
Or, the Kryceks - Today they believe, tomorrow they don't, whichever
serves their best interests at the time they post.
Then there are the CSMs - As a friend, they suggest you do believe
because they've seen TV shows die and if you don't believe, did you
ever wonder what it would be like to die in a plane crash or of
botulism? Even a heart attack isn't uncommon for a person your age.
Then there are the Maritas - They can help you believe.
Then there are the Doggetts - The have to see it, taste it, feel it,
smell it to believe so they're waiting to see the eps first before
they make up their minds.

Uh oh! I may be a Krycek but I'm a Mulder wanna be (kind of like Krycek?)

Hmmm, so maybe I'm a Krycek with a smidgen of Doggett? Except, I still wanna
be a Mulder. I think that puts me firmly in the Krycek camp.

OK, I was grinning until I got to this one, at which point I started
laughing my fucking ass off. You'd think CC, RP, and this others could
possibly think of even just *one* other way of stating this idea. It
makes Doggett sound like a bloody bloodhound. Hmmm. Maybe that's where
his name came from....hmmm...

I hate that part. In a month or so it will be dark when I get up and dark
when I get home. Sigh. Makes me want to spend all my time sleeping and
eating.

It's still balmy here. I have the fan on (but my house gets hot at night).

It was so balmy here today, that down south of Omaha, near Lincoln, we had
two tornadoes. Not common for this late in the year. Here in Omaha, it
just rained and was overcast. But we did have a few big claps of thunder.

Oh heck, even the Brits are getting tornadoes these
days. Bognor Regis to be specific. A town famous

That happens to me in December, when I work marathon days. A few

I still don't really get them.
I am turning 50 in June...anyone got any good ideas for 50th birthday parties?
Ruth, who thinks there is something oddly liberating about turning 50.

I'm turning 30, uhm, soon. I'm getting my hair cut short and dying it
red. After which, I'm going to Las Vegas, where I won't be getting
married and won't be getting a lap dance much to some people's dismay.
Even with all the things I'm not doing in Vegas, I still think it's
liberating.

I think not getting married is a good thing. You know, you've been
allowed to do all the fun stuff in Vegas for 9 years. You didn't have
to wait until you're 30.
>and won't be getting a lap dance much to some people's dismay.
Er... you could still change your mind. The drinks are free while
you're gambling. After you run out of quarters (and can't drink
more), you might not mind so much.

Sounds great. I celebrated my 30th birthday in a cabin in the woods in the
Sierras for four days. one of The highlights ( and there were many) was
having in dinner in this non-tourist resurant where the S.O. had a bunch
of loggers sing happy birthday to me. It was fairly surreal. I also got to
slide down a snowbank in June( which I thought was nifty) .,......and then
there were the other three days which are not for discussion
Do it up....celebrate these milestones....it is important.

My youngest daughter is in the first grade. Most of her classmates' mothers are old
enough to have been my daughters. My stepdaughter keeps telling me she can't wait
to call me Granny Annie.

Its already happening to me. I'm now driving to work in the dark and
driving home from work in the dark.

Do not nuter cat. See if you can do a controlled breeding
so that it gives birth close to your birthday. Then you
can have fun playing with kitties.
Either that or drive up to Newfoundland and play with
the moose. They're cute but rather big. If rutting they
may do unspeakable acts to your car.

But that was because we were supposed to die before we got old.

I don't know. I'm thinking no on the Ronald McDonald. I've got a gift
certificate for a massage, pedicure, manicure, cut, style, single color
and makeup at a center city spa. I'm trusting my hair to the
professionals and just going with their advice. (It was one of the
provisos of the gift.) It's hair, it will grow back, and I've had the
same bob haircut (just various lengths) for the past 10 years. I'm
quite tired of it.

I've been to Vegas before actually. Two or three times. I got kicked
out of the casinos when I was 15. (My parents were such poor role
models back then.)

My friend is turning 33 the day before we go. He has the idea that we
are all going to the Cheetah club (I think that's the name of it)
whereupon we will buy each other mutual lapdances from the Cheetah
girls. I'm not seeing it happen. He also has tatoo parlors in mind.
Of course, you are correct (as usual). Many things are possible through
the wonders of alcohol. Viva Las Vegas.

Pretty damn liberating. I'm not sure I can share with you the details
as I was informed that "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."

no way. There is no way I can picture myself standing on the edge of a
plane about to jump out. Uh-uh. No way. Are you really gonna do this Giz?
My niece went sky diving a couple of years ago ...she is so little( skinny
woman) the jumpmaster had to push her out of the plane because the wind
resistance was so huge. I know I would sink like a stone.
