No. I never have. I did have a haunted crock pot, though. I got it for Christmas, but never used it. I gave it to my sister when we lived together. She took it when we moved to separate places. She gave it back when she got married and got a new one, but took it back when she got divorced and moved in with me and her ex got the new one. When she moved away, she had a garage sale. My roommate bought it there, and then left it when she moved to Arizona. I never used it, but had it given to me on three occasions. By the time my roommate got done with it, it was old and pretty nasty, so I put it on the very bottom of the garbage and set it out right before pick-up. It did not return......yet. The person below me drives more than an hour a day.

Pants. Actually, jeans, but of the choices given, pants. Ghostbusters or Ghost Hunters?

No. Nor do I intend to. I'd rather talk to people about the issue in a discussion where we can learn why we think what we do rather than just announcing my own feelings, about which the other side cares not diddly. The person below me has collected something and will now share with those assembled here what that something is.

Red Wing's what? Which Wing? Who's on first? Go Wings! Win this. We need it. Play like your playoff hopes are on the line.

Even nice guys have relationships that don't work out. Nice girls, too. If she was lonely- no other Russian women to be friends with, as I've heard, then it's just one of those things. Imagine being alone in a place where you don't speak the language and the only person you know who does is gone half the time flying all around the country and busy when they're home. If you left home and friends and culture, you're going to get homesick. From what I've heard, Pavel was a bit lonely for a friend from his background and became quite close to Salei when he was here. Of course, there was no one for Svetlana as Rusty's wife was American and stayed in California. Sometimes things just don't work, and it's sad, especially if there's a child involved.

That was she at the Cup parade. They divorced quietly some time afterwards. I know I heard that she wanted to go back home. I also read that they wanted Elizabeth educated in Russia since that is where they'd be living after Pavel was done playing. As to the reason for the divorce, all I heard was that she wanted to go home. Anything else is something they have chosen to keep private. She's a beautiful girl. I don't blame them for wanting to have more time together. The years do go fast.

Having him back doesn't necessarily mean that he'll be playing every game. Give him a game or two to make sure that he's ready, then see how he does. If he's better than the other options, play him. If not, sit him. There's nothing bad about having more depth and more options this time of year. We missed November, so there was no chorus of "at least this didn't happen in April" with each injury. At the very least, knowing that there's someone who could take their place is an added incentive for the ones playing. I want to see him out there and showing what a real man can do, but even if he isn't up to that, it's always good to have someone back in playing shape.

I gave up trying. I lose it, but it always finds me. Drew needs to lose some, too. He hasn't been running and he's getting too big to skedaddle up the tubes. I should make both of us run. The person below me likes Simon and Garfunkel.

Either. I am an equal-opportunity whipped chick. As long as it's not that pansyassed air crap that passes for frosting nowadays. If the Crisco doesn't stick to your tongue, it ain't FROSTING! Silver or gold jewelry?

I can identify three people in that picture. The Force is not strong with the rest of them.

Should probably be sleeping, but I slept last night instead so I'm not tired. I'm sure I'll be paying for it by midnight when my shift's half done. The person below me has lost their cell phone lately.

Cheese Fudge or caramel?

If Dallas and Columbus keep winning, we need St. Louis and anyone else with numbers close to us to be losing. The sooner they start doing that, the better. If they drop the rest of their games, or at least most of them, Detroit moves up, which, if Dallas and Columbus keep winning, keep us in the playoffs. In the grand scheme of things, it can't hurt.

Happy Birthday^ Wings 3-0. Hank with the hattie for his good deed this morning. Kristi and Linda are at the game. They went to the morning skate. As they were going, Kristi dropped her phone and didn't realize it. Hank picked it up for her and gave it back to her. They had a nice chat in the elevator on the way down. He said they need these two points.

Same here. I went and double-checked the standings just to make sure I had to say that.

Well, that sucked. I was hoping for a Minni victory, but mostly I was hoping that the BJ's wouldn't get any points at all. I guess after the last couple of Wings games that we can't complain about loser points, right?

Absolutely agree with that last sentence. I'd rather the Wild stayed in rather than the Jackets earn the points and replace us. If the Wild fall out on their own, so be it, but I don't want it to be because another replaces them, especially not Columbus, who are looking a little too good for comfort. Too bad both can't lose and get 0 points.

Delightful game in Minni right now. Two fights and the Wild are ahead. Go Wild! Keep those Jackets down where they belong!

Actually, it's James R, but if you're making a Star Trek reference, I love you even more than I did five minutes ago. I joined this forum when people were down on Nik (hence my name) and I said he's prove himself to us. I'm glad I did, because in '08 people were pretty high on him. People supporting Howard and his contract will find themselves rewarded in the same manner soon. <---yeah, I'm calling it now.

I wonder if Ott's facebook page replaced the Like button with a Lick button.

My guess is that everyone who has to play against Ott is going to be in favour of making them mandatory! It was kind of hard to tell from that angle, but it almost looked more like he stuck his tongue out in a licking motion rather than actually licking him. I don't think he was actually trying to lick.

Sounds good to me. Jimmy deserves it. I'm cautiously big on Mrazek myself, but now we either have time to find someone else if he doesn't pan out, or some nice quality time with him and Jimmy together so that the little guy can learn from Jimmy and eventually have the torch passed onto him. This may be a bit on the long side or a bit on the spendy side, but compared to the general range of contracts out there, it seems pretty average.

Sweater. Sauna or whirlpool?

Snap Crackle Pop. Pat or Vanna?

No real preference either way. I look more at the eyes. As long as the hair is clean and not dorky or weird. I guess I go more for brunettes because I tend to go for brown eyes. The person below me wishes the world was more like it was when they were younger.
