Dyk?

[Peppermint]

Usually I post these with my creative team but they're all busy being awesome and stuff, my forums have crickets. Just a stream of consciousness starting with "DYK" (Did you know) followed by things that we probably DID NOT KNOW about you (and, arguably, maybe shouldn't....)

For instance:

DYK that about ten minutes ago I was standing in the middle of my kitchen drinking cheap Moscato straight from the (screw top) bottle?

DYK I'm classy like that?

DYK after a few minutes I mixed it half and half (maybe three-quarters and one-quarter?) with a glass of diet 7-up and dropped a strawberry into it?

DYK now I'm calling it a "white wine spritzer" and feel like I'm no longer in danger of becoming a cautionary tale?

DYK I had grocery store sushi for dinner tonight?

DYK almost 100% of the time grocery store sushi is a giant let-down?

DYK one of our grocery store chains just built an unreasonably large and fancy store, in my opinion it's almost obscenely pretentious, so thought I'd try their unreasonably fancy grocery store sushi?

DYK it was not that bad?

DYK they may have the best grocery store sushi in the city?

DYK that's not saying a LOT, but it's still not a bad accolade to have under your belt around here?

DYK I had a Hawaiian roll with yellowfin tuna?

DYK that I live on the edge like that because there was recently a big salmonella outbreak in several states linked directly to yellowfin tuna used in spicy tuna rolls?

DYK if I disappear for a few days, you can send FTD bouquets to me in the hospital?

DYK I like those brightly colored daisies, so don't waste your money on any of those fancy floral bouquets?

DYK I'm counting on my "white wine spritzers" to kill any bacteria in the tuna?

DYK this is a foolproof plan, it can't possibly fail?

 

[VickiStegall]

DYK that I totally and completely adore you?


geeeeze, woman, you are hilarious!

 

[clarabear]

Oh wow!! that is awesome Peppermint!! When I get tired I think I actually talk like that until my husband looks at me and says "Will you ever shut up??" follwed eventually by him telling me it is time to go to bed.

 

[Peppermint]

You guys are supposed to post your DYKs, too. That's the rule.

 

[VickiStegall]

Ok, P, I did one. but, I'll try.

***************************

DYK that I'm not as clever as Peppermint?

DYK that I wish I was?

DYK that I *think* I am that clever after a margarita?

DYK that I have my very healthy salad container from dinner sitting here on a tray next me?

DYK that I'm too lazy to get off the couch to take it to the kitchen?

DYK that I'm not really that lazy, I've just been sitting here banging my head, working on some code?

DYK that I also have a bag of not very healthy Ruffles sitting under the tray with my salad container on it?

DYK that I also have a container of dark chocolate covered almonds sitting here OPEN beside me?

DYK that I ate both of these things AFTER I finished my very healthy salad?

DYK that I would really prefer to have peanut M&Ms instead of the dark choc almonds?

DYK that dark chocolate almonds are supposedly better for you than peanut M&Ms?

DYK that I love these DYK threads?

DYK I adore sushi.

DYK That I make it myself the most of the time.

DYK I'm dieting and can't have sushi?

DYK I'm craving sushi right now!

DYK I lost 8.5kg allready!

DYK I'm walking around my town with a big smile and smaller pants.

DYK it's queensday today in the Netherlands.

DYK I really don't give a damn about those days?

DYK it's 6.13am right now?

DYK I wake up every day around this time?

DYK it's because of a little bird which I think is evil!!

DYK that evil bird is whistling so hard probably it wants the whole world to hear it!

DYK I get annoyed by that!

DYK I would like to strangle that little bird myself :twisted:

DYK if the airgun (this one

) from my inlaws was here I would shoot the little sucker.

DYK I can shoot pretty good with those things?

DYK I ones shot a 'racing pigeon' off the roof from my inlaw neighbour? OOPS

DYK I'm going to read my book now :der:

DYK I love that P brought this up, and I hope on lots of replies!

[sberkan]

DYK I love this thread?
DYK I just spent the last hour cuddling with my 4 year old who will not go to sleep?
DYK he's still awake and it's almost 11 pm here?
DYK cuddling usually means I fall asleep?
DYK I must be getting old because falling asleep means that I will be wide awake at bedtime?
DYK that means I will probably scrap...or play solitaire?
DYK that solitaire is such a waste of time but oh, so addicting?
DYK that I can't type tonight?
DYK that I'm finally caving and getting DH an iPhone for our anniversary?
DYK I should go do that ?

 

[ViVre]

DYK that we just got new furnture last week?

DYK that we spent two days moving it all around to get just like I wanted?

DYK that we are moving it all back out today to get the carpets cleaned?

DYK after we painted two weeks ago, I still don't have anything hung on my walls except for one frame?

DYK that that one frame still doesn't have a photo in it?

DYK it really could be 6 months before I get it all finished??

DYK I think Phylis is NUTS for liking ironing?

DYK I want to be with Laurie and her plastic cups?

 

[clarabear]

DYK that I'm just lying in bed?

DYK I'll probably stay here until Addie wakes up?

DYK I hate mornings but think opening a coffee stand at 5am is a good idea.

DYK that really freaks me out?

DYK I'm excited anyway?

DYK I prefer coffee stand coffee over Starbucks any day?

DYK Starbucks started in Seattle at Pike Place Market?

DYK that's where I met Sally and her kids?

DYK I then proceeded to give her a tour of Seattle on the city bus accidentally?

DYK it was still fun and we did finally make it to the Space Needle?

DYK I miss Seattle?

DYK I'm worried about going back to the rain?

DYK I won't really admit it but I kinda like the spring and fall weather here in Fayetteville?

DYK that the pollen here kicks my butt?

DYK I'm truly concerned I will either scratch off my nose or sneeze it off?

DYK I hear Addie awake and stretching?

DYK I should go and check on her but I'm going to keep laying here until she actually gets out of bed and comes in here?

DYK I was unsure what to write here and now I may never shut up?

DYK Addie just walked in here wearing scrubs saying she's a little doctor and smiling?

DYK she is reading every word she she sees?

DYK I'm neglecting her and writing?

DYK I'm about to grab her and tickle her and force her to cuddle with me?

DYK that my final projects from the college class I teach are still sitting ungraded from a week ago?

DYK I'm a procrastinator like that?

DYK that instead of grading said projects, I went to Pinterest for an unseemly amount of time?

DYK that I have an odd fascination with looking at wedding gowns?

DYK that I have no plans to wear a wedding gown again at any point, including my original gown?

DYK that I don't think I would fit in my original gown?

DYK that I don't fit in said gown because, like Vicki, I have a strong attachment to chips and chocolate?

DYK that I bought Goldfish crackers and chocolate last night at Tarjay? (the French store)

DYK that I can't estimate at all and my $60 travel kit mother's day present for my MIL came out to be $90?

DYK that I don't teach math?....that's why I'm a librarian!

And just for good measure,

DYK that I also think that I'm clever after a margarita??? LOL

 

[Peppermint]

DYK I'm happy to see some damn replies in here today?

DYK I'd just talk to myself anyway?

DYK I'm eating a big healthy salad tonight in Vicki's honor?

DYK I'll probably follow it up with some fudge covered Oreos, also in Vicki's honor?

DYK they cancel each other out?! THEY CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT!!

DYK I'm drinking a Diet Pepsi, so scientifically speaking I'm probably BURNING calories at this point?

DYK no wonder I feel so weak?

 

[yvonnahenna]

DYK I'm also drinking coca cola zero.

DYK that I just figured because of P's message, I'm also practically burning calories?

DYK I still have to go to the supermarket to find something to eat.

[CookingMyLife]

DYK that I missed seeing this yesterday?

DYK that was because I had a serious session with an intuitive?

DYK that I had a lot of insights?

DYK that a big bar of Trader Jo's milk chocolate bar helped too?

DYK that thinking of that bar made (!) me go and get a piece for a breakfast starter?

DYK that I too love laundry and ironing?

DYK that I think Phylis and I are related somehow?

DYK that I KNOW Peppermint talks this way cause I've heard her?

DYK that I'm going to the beach Friday for the weekend?

DYK that I always 'play' til 9am with stuff I want to do then get serious about what has to be done?

DYK this is normal for me and my dh just shakes his head?
