I apparently failed.

Thank you for your astute correction.Please don't take my observation as a critique of your joke. I got that part and chuckled. The metaphor vs simile thing has been bugging me for years... but only when I see them so naturally I forget to look it up.

Cat...draw from it what you may I am a master of feigned ambivalence.

3) If you could rule the world what would you do!

Also I get a bit annoyed when my postman has the inability to push letters the whole way in through the letterbox and instead leaves half of the letter sticking outside so that when it's raining I get half-soggy letters.
Amen to that. We have a slot that goes into our closet in the foyer in the wall. We have a canopy over our front door, but things still get damp. He tries to shove everything in. I get my prescriptions thru the mail and he tries to shove the 4 bottles of them in a bag thru there, too. They are always hanging out. I may buy a regular mailbox, I am sick of ripping my mail.

The phone ringing just as I sit down to make poop is pretty irritating too... ok, enough venting.

1) Compliments
2) "Venting"
3) Bad MetaphorsFirst off then I'd like to compliment DEP on consistantly making me look good. I'd like to compliment Mobase on his impeccable dress sense. Hoosker for being a d**k. I'd like to compliment Maven in advance on her home-baking. Punthe you're a great advert for Sony/Canada and pretty funny which makes me think maybe you have a ghost writer. TM I'd like to compliment you on a "couple of things" but I'll do that in pm ;) Jerry you are a great ambassador for plime apart from the whole "Oh my god you are so gorgeous" pm's thing :D

I'll add more to the list later.

Secondly, venting, here goes,

I f**kING HATE IT WHEN MY f**kING YELLOW ENVELOPE DOES'T FLASH SO I MISS PM'S!!!!!!!!

HHhhmmmm, No.3. Plime is like a monkey, most of the time it's funny and cheeky and makes ya want to hug the little b*****d, but sometimes when it sneaks up behind you and tugs on both your ears you just wanna slap the spit out it's mouth.

Life is like a box of chocolates, never leave it on the heater.

The whole worlds a stage..... unfortunately a lot of people don't know how to act.

I thought it might be fun because of some of the creative minds here on Plime. And because I am a forum addict.

Here are some of the questions that SIF uses...

1) Use types of weather to tell us how you feel right now!

2) What type of animal best represents you and why!

3) If you could rule the world what would you do!

and other weird questions like that...

So if you want to answer questions or pose questions
or something of that sort...

Oh and another part of PIF is thanking people for things that they have done, or congratulating them, or bringing up a problem...

I just thought that this was a random enough topic for a hearty (??) Plime forum...Have a good time with PIF....

EDIT: suebe explained how confusing this whole thing is...so if you would like you can just do

1) Compliments
2) "Venting"
3) Bad Metaphors

unless you want to do the whole shabang.]]>http://www.plime.com/f/4207/1/rss2_0.rss#q1http://www.plime.com/f/4207/1/rss2_0.rss#q1plime.com
