New here and wanted to know..

Trying to follow the conversation can be tricky sometimes.

What is a buckeyeminister?

It's Loppy's 2nd account ;)

(Jab only directed to Bryan since Ensign is in my good favors for calling me cute :))

What's scary to me is not the sick humor, but those of us that delight in it. Ann Landers once said "1 out of 4 people have a mental illness. Look at your 3 closest friends; if they seem OK...it's you.

I don't even have three closest friends. I just have a room full of cardboard cutouts of people that I set up once in a while when I'm lonely. Sometimes we play cards, or drink chamomile tea, or tell each other knock knock jokes:

Mr. Giggles: Knock knock.

Me: Who's there?

Mr. Giggles: Yoda.

Me: Yoda who?

Mr. Giggles: Yoda scariest person I know!

Damn it all, but I fall for that one every time. And sometimes they just stare at me -- accusingly . . . hauntingly. Those eyes! Make them stop! For the love of God, make them stop!

But then I wake up, and realize it was all a bad dream . . .

Until I see Mr. Giggles, still staring at me.

Aieeeeeeeeee!!!!

Is there someone out there attempting to impersonate me?

Who is this Loppy you speak of?

Mike, you keep outdoing your own jokes! Your current run is beating out the Monty Python quotes for the "laugh-factor" right now in my book.

I watched Montey Python and the Holy Grail last night and didnt laugh as hard as I did after reading Mikes post. You're THAT good Mike, keep it up!:)

Wow, I hit 1000 posts? All right! So when can I expect my coffee mug? I get a coffee mug for 1000, right? What? Just a lousy tie tack? Oh well, guess I can wear it to funerals and stuff.

If I can be serious for a minute (and I know what everybody's thinking, of course he can't!), this site has been one of the few really nice things in my life the last few months. My wife broke her ankle and femur in January and had to have reconstructive surgery. It's been really hard trying to juggle taking care of my wife, my daughter, the house, and my job to boot. Her recovery has been complicated by a neurological condition caused by the accident called reflexive sympathetic dystrophy, where the nerves in her foot are basically attacking her body. It's been really challenging trying to deal with all of this over the winter. There have been a few days when reading what you folks write here was the only thing to make me laugh all day. I know I've said it before, but I really appreciate this place and all the good and decent people who come here. Sometimes it's one of a very few things that help me keep it together lately.

So thanks. :)

Mike, that was hilarious. And tell your wife I'll pray for her recovery.

Bryan, stupied p right next to the o on the keyboard...darn it ;)

Well, I can understand the "O" and the "P" problem, but the "I" and the "E" aren't anywhere near each other.

At least they aren't on my keyboard. ;)

^^ Thanks Randi. :)

Ha! That's what I get for taking on the grammar nerd! ~bows to the king, & makes mental note...never post early in the morning before I'm wide awake, & check into an automatic spell check~

Thanks Josh. Tim recommended that as well. Maybe I'll give it a go.
