maj, I remember when 900 numbers were all the investment rage in the 80's..
maybe it's time to rethink that particular realm.
I can't talk dirty as I giggle madly when I try. I can't be a psychic as I would say wildly improbable things to entertain myself, so I can't see it really happening. Bummer.
Maybe I could give investment advice.

Benzinha, aim low and excell
Learning what size pond to plop down our froggy boddis (as in "big frog in a little pond") is an art and needs to be revised once in a while.
How about a 900 phone number?

Maj, I finally gathered the courage to truly read the IRS letter.
As we age, a letter like that is so pea brain stultifying that we have to put it away for long enough to gather courage enough to read it again for the first time. I did so.
I only owe $1,090 something and not the $1,900 that I thought that I read the first time. That was the good news. I suppose that they are disallowing some deductions, though the letter doesn't say that, only that I didn't declare income, as though I had lied. We both agree on the form that showed my true income, so the disagreement must be over deductions.
I'm still trying to turn down the volume of the siren going off inside the cranium, but am only half freaked as the money was halved.
Everyone is telling me to get a real job and, OMG, I have been thinking about it. What can one do at home as I am no good working with others anymore?
I am about to be certified to babysit the foster kids of my friend....special needs kids. Sounds like Hell to me, but it pays $120 tax free per day, per child. But, the house needs to be emptier, safer, better teen child proofed and it is definitely not that now. Maybe they can make artwork and we can sell it on eBay for them.
They need life skills for when they are cut loose at 18 and left on the streets to survive. Poor babies.

Yes food-4-thought
We can ususally draw between the dots, if we have half a brain and a little maturity.
But then, maturity is "out" now, too.

majroj, I almost pee'd my pants when I got a letter from the IRS ayer.
Re: your item #2 and the propriety of its use. But, I did get a letter and it is not good. Something about 2006 and I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go....
Hope that you and yours are just fine and that the IRS never contacts you.

Vulgarity is easy...
Tap dancing around it is harder and takes better timing!

Again, majroj, I must have my head buried in the sand - which I suppose would make an ostrich pee-pee - as I haven't seen any of these blogs. I do believe that Azur deserves an 'OUCH,' not a mere 'OOPS.'

maj, Item #2, paragraph 2, almost all of the included descriptions and
I try not to even mention the potty stuff, unless it's really true. Then, we who tend to do what you mentioned would rather hide it than talk about it out loud and in public.
My mom mentions it and we all laugh ourselves to death as she is probably telling the truth and wearing Depends....she uses the word 'tinkle' and that is even funnier.
Today we were discussing what my sister the daycare owner calls 'dingos'. My DIL had her first sonogram and she thought that she saw a peepee on the screen, she said.
Mom said, "What?", and my sister said, "A dingo", and my Mexican sister said, "Su chiba", and anyway, we proceeded to go through all of the words for male genitalia and Mom mentioned something about tinkling and I thought that one of us might just die of laughter, right there.
Am trying to spend more time with family and not with dogs and to laugh more.

You can sell your potty talk allowance to someone else, like carbon credits

Sam, its a cultural thing
Like all the decolletage and tattoos, people talking about "I pee'd myself" are doing "daring" things to express their "individuality", when it's just one more of the same same same.

Well I guess I could be excused...
Having once been postpartum and had urological surgery in the same quarter.
Luckily I just do what I want on blogs and don't really care.

Expressions come in all forms. I suspect troubled folks (issues only) when I read the vulgarity. sam
