...earworm... ...with Bubba... :P


this was my earworm on the lovely Isle of Hawai'i in the year of 1977 that got me tossed out of almost anywhere there was a jukebox with this popular song on it. My boyfriend tossed me out of bed one night for constantly singing it while having er. . .intimate relations. It was the beginning of the end for me in Kilua-Kona, unfortunely. When people that knew me saw me on the island they would yell "Hey, Guabi Guabi girl!" and I would sing the approximation of the Zulu words. Unfortunely I had never heard the explanation of the song, just the juke box version. . .

oh, yeah

This is me today, Blessed. I had a couple of posts looked upon negatively, so I guess I am an Aspie with communications problems. And it was with a parent of an Aspie, so should I be surprised?

And Merle, I thought you wrote "Breast stew," and I was wildly wondering what that could be. My brain hurts.

Why do I bother. Deacon, any clue?

No, you shouldn't be surprised. I am a parent of Aspies and I don't get how the other parents of Aspies think. I avoid the other parents if I can help it.

I can get in a real funk when my posts are misunderstood, or when someone ignores what I said, and just wants to fight. I come back to the Cafe, just to get a little 'sanity'.

Sanity? Here? If you all become sane I will have to look elsewhere for company!

I can comfortably avoid any charges of sanity by pointing to the period, back in the mid-90's, when I spent several months on AOL posting in faux-Olde-English under the name Sir Rhosis of Llyvair. (A few people even got it...) :)

Ah, but as long as your heart was in the right place.... :D

I've seen some funny usernames in my time (Don K. Shayne, for one) but Sir Rhosis is definitely one of the better ones!

Negativity outside the Café? Heh! Phrases like "wading through wet cement" and "nailing Jell-O to the wall" spring to mind. :lol:

Yeah I think I know which thread that is. I was reading it and damned if I didn't start to get grossed out with misinformation and imagery and that isn't easy to do. A couple of the Cafe gang were seemingly taking very good care of it. Perhaps I should revisit and add to the fry. I could help em with some mental images and really scar em for life. It's only fair, he did it first.

Oh dear... front page fame, at the expense of Prof P. I didn't want that! He must be having a quiet patch, and me, a busy one. I know last I looked (when you mentioned I was 51st., Richie), I was 75 posts behind. It's surprising how fast they whistle by. Look... here comes another.

Where is the member list? I didn't know we still had one. It used to be on the Home page.
