[progmom]

I'm just trying out this attention whore thing.

[JimmyJazz]

1. How's it working for you so far?

[progmom]

2. Um. Apparently not so great.

Le sigh. I blame cliques. ;)

[ralps]

3. Hey progmom, What's Happening?

:hi: :hug:

[progmom]

4. Hiya friend.

You put me to shame last night with your kindness to someone I lost patience with. I'm impressed. :hug:

[ralps]

11. Thanks, but i'm not sure

what I did.:shrug: :hi: :loveya:

[RandomKoolzip]

12. ***************HEY********************

How's RKZ?

[Adams Wulff]

6. A big ol' subject like that, and no PIC?

Hi Progmom! How are you this fine day?

[progmom]

13. Been through the wringer already today.

Fire drills at work.
Not literally fire drills - figurative ones.

Wouldn't it be cool if I was a firefighter, though? Saving lives when not posting on DU?

Maybe I'll create a new persona for myself.

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. *****************YOU*******************

:loveya:

[progmom]

20. *************YOUROCK*********************

When are you coming to this side of the country?

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. Um... name a time

HAHA! :D

[progmom]

33. I'll pick you up at the airport tomorrow?

We have a guest room. And we're only 45 minutes from the Canadian border!


:P

[RevolutionaryActs]

36. Woot! Let me go make a reservation right now... I hope I can get a plane

:o


:7

[progmom]

38. We may be kidding about this...

...but how fun would it be for us gals to get together? You, me, JJ, Shanni, Cadence, and all the other goofy gals of the Lounge...!!!

[RevolutionaryActs]

40. Oh I know! It would be too cool

And in the Bahamas right? :7

[progmom]

66. i think i have given up on that idea

Though my arm could certainly be twisted!

[Huckebein the Raven]

67. Lucky you. I wish I was that close to the border

[Bouncy Ball]

8. I'm afraid to even try it.

:scared: It's SO not me.

LOL

[no name no slogan]

9. hey hey hey

I like it-- it fits you good! :hi:

[progmom]

22. Oh dear - you have given me a new ear worm.

Say, say, say what you want
but don't play games with my affection
Take, take, take what you need
but don't leave me with no direction
All alone I sit home by the phone waiting for you baby
Through the years how can you stand to hear my pleading for you dear?
You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Now go, go, go where you want
but don't leave me here forever.
You, you, you stay away
so long girl I see you never
What can I do girl, to get through to you? Cause I love you baby.
Standing here baptised in all my tears, baby through the years,
You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

You never ever worry and you never shed a tear.
You're saying that my love ain't real
just look at my face, these tears ain't drying.

You, you, you can nvever say
that I'm not the one who really loves you.
I pray, pray, pray ev'ry day
that you'll see things, girl, like I do.
What can I do girl, to get through to you? Cause I love you baby.
Standing here baptised in all my tears, baby through the years,
You know I'm crying, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

[Huckebein the Raven]

63. Here's another earworm:

Kool and the Gang - Hollywood Swingin'

Hey hey hey
Watcha got to say
Say hey hey hey
Watcha got to say
Hollywood, hollywood swingin'
Hollywood, hollywood swingin'

I remember, not too long ago (hey, hey)
I went to a theater, and i saw the kool and the gang show.
I always wanted to get into a band
To sing my songs, and then become a bad piano playing man
So here i am, in this Hollywood city
The City of the stars, movies, women and cars
Well, i guess, i guess i'll start

I say hey, hey, hey
Watcha got to say
Say hey hey hey
Watcha got to say
Hollywood, hollywood swingin'
Hollywood, hollywood swingin'


Hollywood swinging (16x)

[no name no slogan]

149. Dammit

Well, we'll fix that...

Hey, hey, hey! It's Fat Albert
And I'm gonna sing a song for you
And this is gonna show you A thing or two
You'll have some fun now With me and the gang
Learning from each other
While we do our thang na, na, na
Gonna have a good time na, na, na
Gonna have a good time hey, hey, hey!

This is Bill Cosby coming out with music and fun
If you're not careful, you may learn something before it's done!
Hey, hey, hey!

Na, na, na. Gonna have a good time - Hey, hey, hey!
Na, na, na. Gonna have a good time - Hey, hey, hey!

[MissMillie]

10. I hope it works better for you than it did for me

The thread about me had only 15 replies... and 4 of them were mine. Jeez!

[progmom]

14. How do I keep missing all these good threads?

Sorry, Miss Millie.

[MissMillie]

17. I tried to keep it kicked, but alas

I went to lunch and everyone forgot all about me.

(sigh)

[kick-ass-bob]

23. who are you?

:shrug:

[kick-ass-bob]

15. you're gonna have to do better than that.

But I do have to admit, I like you.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. You got lost somewhere up there in we.

;) :hi:

[progmom]

28. I would agree with you there.

You are certainly worthy of attention!

[ScreamingMeemie]

30. and now I have a guilt complex for whoring attention.

;)

[progmom]

31. uh. did you see my OP?

:puffpiece:

[yvr girl]

24. Post naked

It pays to work the room.

[progmom]

25. Did I miss something when I was slaving away this afternoon?

:shrug:

[yvr girl]

27. No, but I know from experience it works

Oddly enough, it was a copycat but also true.

[progmom]

29. Did you really?

Damn, woman!

[yvr girl]

32. I sure did

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2164584

:silly:

[MissMillie]

35. Wow.. your thread got a LOT more attention than mine did

Now I'm REALLY depressed.

[progmom]

37. It's only because I keep kicking it myself.

wow, those caps could give anyone a headache. Hope your day has been wondrous so far.

[progmom]

44. it's been mixed

but right now it's great. i'm typing w/ one hand - the other is hugging my sleepy toddler! :)

[steve2470]

46. how old and name of toddler ?

I'm at work. I'm so lucky I have the internets at work.

[progmom]

47. i'm working from home this afternoon

he's 3.

how old is your boy?

[steve2470]

48. he's 9, cute as hell too and smart as a whip.

Some say he takes after someone in his genetic lineage.
:-)


:silly:

[steve2470]

57. you're supposed to brag about your son now.

unwritten parental rule

:silly:

[progmom]

64. He's as smart and cute and kind and sweet as they come.

He has the most amazing imagination. And his vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds.





That was taken in October. He's even cuter and smarter and more wonderful now!

[steve2470]

86. you must be a very proud mommy

you should be...does he favor you more or his father ?

[progmom]

121. Hmmm.

Good question. I think he's a good mix of both!

[Freebird12004]

50. Hi Ya Progmom

whew!

I just took a ride out into the world and it sure is nice to be back in the DU Lounge again :hi:

[progmom]

53. How's your weather?

Really windy and a little rainy here.

[Freebird12004]

60. We still have snow on the ground but it was warm enough without a coat

:bounce: and right back into winter tonight with more snow on the way.

Today was 46 ... it was wonderful!

[progmom]

65. What part of the country are you in?

[Freebird12004]

78. Northeast

... in New York State.... and the temperature hit 56 degrees at 4:30...
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: and I just found 2 patches of purple crocus blooming.

[progmom]

79. that sounds great!

I grew up in central NY - Finger Lakes area. Seneca Falls.

:)

[Freebird12004]

85. that's to the north and west

of me. I was in the Finger Lakes for about two weeks and it was beautiful.

[Huckebein the Raven]

51. ************What's *******up**********progmom*************

:)

[progmom]

52. Hey DL!

Nice to see you in my thread!

What have you been listening to lately?

[Huckebein the Raven]

54. Mostly some vocal trance on websteam via Winamp

and Japan-A-Radio's webstream:

http://www.japanaradio.com/

[progmom]

55. Can't stream on my work laptop

But it looks cool. I'm not familiar with Japanimation music. (is that the correct terminology?)

[Huckebein the Raven]

56. I think so.

[El Fuego]

58. ***sigh*** It's always about you, isn't it? ***sigh****

WHAT
ABOUT
MEEEEEEEE?????

:7

[progmom]

62. I'll be happy to pay attention to you.

Tell me something interesting!

[El Fuego]

71. ****(blush)**** who.... me? *****(blush)****

umm...ummm...ummmmmm....well that's quite enough about me!

Gee, what an awesome thread, Progmom!

[progmom]

72. C'mon

Tell me something.

What did you have for lunch?

Who is your favorite saxophonist?

[El Fuego]

73. Wow, you're asking me?

Gosh, all this attention. I had a dolphin sandwich for lunch from the Waterway Cafe.

And I don't know much about saxophonists, so I will have to say my True Favorite is.... BILL CLINTON!!!!! :bounce:

[progmom]

77. for real?

I didn't know people intentionally ate dolphin.

Wow.

What does it taste like?

[El Fuego]

80. No no it's not dolphin the mammal! We don't eat Flipper!

It's dolphin the FISH which is also called Mahi Mahi (I think that's Hawaiian). It's a really good white flaky fish. You can grill it, you can bake it, you can blacken it, and it's really YUMMY.

[progmom]

84. phew!

I was a little worried there for a minute!

[arcane1]

59. hey you!!!!

any luck?

[progmom]

61. with the attention-whoring?

Seems like it has worked out prety well for me.

How are you today?

[arcane1]

68. hanging in there

taking time now & then to pay off the attention whores :P

[progmom]

74. well we do appreciate it

:)

[arcane1]

76. good, that's all I ask..

well, most of the time :P

[trogdor]

69. *<;-)~

There. A party hat smiley with a ball on top.

[trogdor]

70. 8(:-P~

Here's one with a propeller beanie.

[progmom]

75. thanks!

:)

[Huckebein the Raven]

81. So, anything else going on progmom ?

[progmom]

87. Lots of stuff - but did you have something in particular in mind?

How about with you?

[Huckebein the Raven]

91. Not really, just making small talk

nothing much going on here. I'm on spring break.
:shrug:

[progmom]

96. Nice!

Have you got anything fun planned?

[Huckebein the Raven]

101. I wish I did but I don't

[donheld]

82. ******************YOU******************

[progmom]

88. Hey there!

Funny - when I was growing up, my dad's best friend was named John Held. So I feel like I know you already. :P

[fluffernutter]

83. you're way too cool for that, chica.

but good gravy, it got you a lot of posts :P

[progmom]

89. I thought it would drop like a stone!

It was supposed to be satirical. But hey - I'll take it. I like friendly posting!! :)

[Bok_Tukalo]

92. What's all this clique stuff I read this morning?

I was out of it this weekend.

[progmom]

95. Longgrain got a bee in his bonnet about cliques.

And it started a little bit of ugliness. :(

[steve2470]

97. you can say that again. I got sooo mad at him nt

[Bok_Tukalo]

98. That's too bad

I thought I was in his clique.

[steve2470]

100. he's back and repentant. check him out nt

[Bok_Tukalo]

102. Sorry I missed the fun

But I deserve it for allowing myself the freedom of a few days without DU.

I must be punished.

[New Earth]

99. trying out?

i thought you were an expert?


:o

[progmom]

103. I must have missed your sarcasm tag?

Or is there some issue we need to talk about? :shrug:

Feel free to PM me if it's the latter.

[Left Is Write]

104. Attention!

I am now lavishing attention.

Want some cake? I have extra.

[steve2470]

105. me me me (chortle)

106. Oh, you want cake?

Come on over.

110. Directions? Head west and north!

:D

[steve2470]

112. ok am I going to Korea ?

:argh:

[Left Is Write]

113. No, no. Then you've gone too far.

Stop before you hit either Canada or the Pacific Ocean.

But you'll be reasonably close to both.

[steve2470]

115. ok when I get to that island west of Seattle, where do I turn ?

:silly:

[Left Is Write]

116. East. You've gone too far.

Seattle itself is too far.

[steve2470]

118. ok so when I get to Seattle, do I turn south or south south east

I am so con-fused
plus it's getting damn cold at this altitude and these damn geese keep biting my ass.
:silly:

[Left Is Write]

120. From Seattle, head southeast.

[steve2470]

122. um into oregon or stay in the state ?

(geese nipping at ass furiously)

[Left Is Write]

125. Head into Oregon, pick up I84 and keep going.

You'll get to me eventually.

[steve2470]

126. go east to idaho ?

get OFF my butt you horny goose you !!!!

(swatting noise)

[Left Is Write]

127. See? I knew you could do it.

[steve2470]

128. umm ok

whatever you say. Idaho is a big damn state hehe

:argh:

[Left Is Write]

130. Yeah, but I can't exactly give out my address on the board, right?

:)

[steve2470]

131. no

there is another way, though
:silly:

[progmom]

107. Oh, I do!

Actually - I just splurged and heated up a Trader Joe's lava cake and brewed some decaf esspresso. Yum! :)

Thanks for the cake offer, and for the attention!!! :)

[Left Is Write]

111. Mmmmm.....cake and coffee. GOOD cake and GOOD coffee.

Nirvana.

And you're welcome. ;)

[steve2470]

114. I feel soooooooooooo low brow

I just had pizza and am drinking Diet Pepsi.


:wtf:

[progmom]

Pizza sounds good.

What toppings?


I'm more of a Diet Coke girl, though.

[steve2470]

133. pepperoni. If you were a vegetarian and we were "an item",

I'd get half of it totally veggie for you :-)

[progmom]

134. You're too sweet!

:)

[Huckebein the Raven]

135. Don't like the taste of Diet Coke

[progmom]

137. That's it.

We're breaking up.

:P

[Huckebein the Raven]

139. Can I make it up to you ?

:P

[progmom]

140. Ok.

I'm pretty easy.


At least, that's what JimmyJazz sez! :P

[Huckebein the Raven]

141. Cool

I'll see if I can find a nice Bordeaux

:) :P

[progmom]

142. Yummy.

You know how to treat a girl!

[progmom]

132. Pizza sounds good.

What toppings?


I'm more of a Diet Coke girl, though.

[RevolutionaryActs]

109. I love you.

Will you come paint my room tomorrow? :evilgrin:


Brain has gone.. me no type.

[progmom]

117. I love you too.

Oh how I wish I could. That sounds like way more fun than I am going to have at work tomorrow.
But I thought you were coming here? :shrug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

119. Couldn't get a flight.

:silly:

[progmom]

My kid and I have already planned out our afternoon (I'm only in the office in the mornings on Tuesdays). It will be great!

[intrepid_wanderer]

136. looks pretty successful to me!

... and really... What is wrong with a little 'attention-whoring' now and then... at least so long as you're not paying anyone to do it... (that would sota be anti-attention-whoring)

pm, you're allright.

[progmom]

138. hey - thanks!

So are you! :toast:

[VOX]

143. Good job, progmom!
