... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Hahaha!!! You have to wonder if that shit is really random, or if it's like programmers doing naughty stuff on the job (like when they give the guy in Little Mermaid a boner).
Don't laugh! I got an F on it!
(That was SOME school I studied at.)
ROFLMFAO!!!
I have to vote that it's programmers doing naughty stuff on the job! That's about the only time I've enjoyed seeing that word! =D
LMAO! How appropriate considering your post from the other day and like everyone said that was their most UNFAVORITE curse word....now here it is again in a new conjugation!!
Hilarious!
LMAO! I love it!
HEHEHE!! I love it. I'm betting on the programmers getting a good laugh too.
That little mermaid thing, on the original VHS cover the castle is shaped like a penis too. People do crazy things.
That is hilarious!
Shut the fuck up! I love it. :)
Bwahahahahahahaha...gawd that is funny. The best one I ever got was diesperm (on an infertility blog no less).
It warms my cockles that you got that on MY blog.
Don't you really think it should be CUNTIEST? I don't know. Just sounds strange that way. I mean really blogger, if you're going down that road let's get it right!
Oh, baby, you are, you are.
I agree with Jen really should be cuntiest.
I am sure blogger was aiming for cutest!
My new favorite swear word.
Lol!! thats brilliant, love it!!!
That is fucking great! (See I told you that I use the f-bomb)
Been away... happy belated birthday and ha ha ha from me too, sfunny :)
xxx
Haha that could only happen to you, and could only happen on Io's blog!
so did that just make cunt an adjective? cunt, cunter, cuntest?
go blogger, go!
And right on the tail of your 'fav/least fav' curse word post!
How does blogger know?
A little unemployed fun I have to share. Ever seen the TWO-word version of Captcha?
http://recaptcha.net/images/smallCaptchaSpaceWithRoughAlpha.png
Apparently some young genius somewhere thought if they add a second word (that's not checked), they could put the net to work translating scanned words from books that their computers got stumped on...
"Each new word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is given to a user in conjunction with another word for which the answer is already known. The user is then asked to read both words. If they solve the one for which the answer is known, the system assumes their answer is correct for the new one. The system then gives the new image to a number of other people to determine, with higher confidence, whether the original answer was correct."
Have fun wit this little bit of knowledge. EBooks all over the world may just get a little more interesting to read because of you. ;)
Here for BINGO and this is too funny! For the record, I cracked up the minute I saw the verification box before I read your post.
And wow, you had success with a starting beta of 15. That's encouraging to someone who has a history of low betas. Thanks for the laugh -and for the encouragement.
oops- I failed BINGO, the post was supposed to be from 2008. I'll keep reading. Thanks for the laugh anyway!
