Yes, the weird as hell alien baby widget ticker thingy that was counting down my due date has been removed from my sidebar.
About damn time, huh?
The emails and commentary about that thing during the last 9-months has been amusing as hell.
Just so you know. :)
P.S. I also added Aaron to “The Cast” page if you want to investigate and (hopefully) chuckle.
P.P.S. And I’m sticking to ONE post script this time! Can you believe it?!
P.P.P.S. Wait…I just ruined it, didn’t I?
P.P.P.P.P.S. GREAT.
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. AND I JUST did a million post scripts in the post I put up, like, YESTERDAY. So, I am now being totally redundant.
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. What if that means that I’ve gone stale and can’t think up new material to write about? What THEN?
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. Does that mean my blog is doomed to be one of “those” blogs? The kind that get so old and tired only the few faithful stick around until vultures start circling the damn thing just waiting for it to die and be abandoned? You know, the ones that lose their URL and become a site advertising online black jack and porn?
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. AND now I have to be all worried and concerned that weird pervs with gambling issues are going to be coming around from Googling keywords like “where can I play blackjack online and watch porn at the same time?”
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. And what if, say, one of those pervs is like, the 1% out there that are REALLY pervy and do totally grody things like scrape my photos and photoshop obscene things on them and resale them on the black market in south east Asia???
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. And what if it doesn’t just stop there, hmmm??? I mean, what if I and my stolen, modified, black market porn photos make me an underground celebrity with the pervs in South East Asia and someone tracks me down, kidnaps me and I’m sold into white slavery somewhere????? WHAT THEN, I ASK YOU?!
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. Great, just GREAT! All I wanted to do is take down some out of date ticker on my blog and now I’m a victim of human trafficking that will end up with some horrible STD like swine flu of the labia.
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. Which would SUCK.
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. I really, really, REALLY need to start getting more than 2 hours of sleep a night. And possibly some professional help as well.
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. Still, if I DO end up as a white sex slave in some god-awful place OR with swine flu of the labia, I am TOTALLY blaming you bastard people who bitched about the weird as hell alien baby widget ticker thingy in my sidebar in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S (Just so you know.)

P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. It wouldn’t be a Loralee post if there weren’t a million P.S’s.
You can’t get kidnapped and sold into slavery. They’d have to take all of us too. And we’re all over the place :)
Hoping for more sleep for you, when you can get it. Hint – stop gazing at that adorable baby when his eyes are shut and shut yours too. If you can… He is rather precious…
Exactly what Vic said.
The post script is your thing.
The post script thing is The Bloggess’ thing.
I love tomatoes! Not that you asked, but I thought I would share.
Carry on now…
I am TRYING to like tomatoes. I can eat them cooked, nooooo problem. Raw, however, makes me kind of gaggy. But we’ve got organic heirlooms growing, so I’m going to attempt to supress my gag reflex and learn to love them. Hubby will appreciate that too.
you’re hilarious. and obviously sleep deprived.
If you get kidnapped, can I come
If you get swine flu of the labia, I’d be happy to kiss it (them) and make it (them) better.
I love coming here and getting to laugh and smile!
Dude! I love it when you can get all punchy without drinking punch!
I mean this in the kindest way……sweetie they have Doctors for this…..I’m just sayin’. Bless your heart! hahaha
Pam:
Hmm…I am going to decide to try and think the best of this comment and hope that you are not sitting there saying that I am ripping off the work of a very talented and lovely blogger.
I’ve been using this manner of writing with multiple Post Scripts since I left notes to the tooth fairy as a kid. (Except when I was young they were sincere after thoughts instead of comedic timing.) People all over the place have used this style, just maybe not as often as I do. Because it’s just the way I am.
It’s the way I write, talk and think. It IS one of my “Things” and as far as I know, no one has sole rights to obsessively loving and using the Post Script.
ps is pretty ubiquitous, love the bloggess but i dont think she owns the copy write to ps. If so, Ive violated her over and over again.
ps I dont mean violated in THAT way
pps Did that make me sound even creepier?
ppps please ignore pretty much everything I’ve said except for the ubiquitous thing because, yeah that point was actually valid
God help the person who kidnaps you is all I can say. ha ha
Shit man, my whole class did the pppppppps thing in middle school on every single note we passed. I personally love it. The Bloggess didn’t make it up. Sheesh Pam. The world is a big place, sometimes people might blog in a similar way. Happens.
People need to get a life. You crack me up!!! And p.p.p.s.s.s. I will always remember Aaron on his birthday. His birthday is the same date as my 4 yr old!!!
LOve ya!! Ignore the freaks. It’s Friday night and they are online..at least I’m at work and getting paid for it.
Wow. Just… Wow. Yet another reminder (because they’re abundant, let me assure you (: ) of why you are so very loved.
Loralee, writing witty/funny things in English is Chaucer and Shakespeare’s thing. You’ll have to stop now.
Pam’s comment has gotten me thinking-yes, Post Scripts in excess have been used by many people and I’ve done it forever and in many more places than my blog.
BUT.
Does she have a point here? Is it wise of me to continue using them when someone else IS associated with them as well?
I love using them and I think I do it well, but do I want to be seen as a copy cat when I don’t feel like one?
Interesting thing to ponder, no?
This could turn into a post all by itself.
hmm…
Lady- you’re hilarious! You can totally PS all over the web– those letters aren’t under copyright. Heck I don’t even know who Blogess (sp?) is……
If you get kidnapped & sold in to sexual slavery I will look for you and bring you home to your family…….. hopefully before the swine flu takes over your girly parts!
I think the fact that your boys use the excessive post scripts in notes to you suggests that you didn’t get this writing style from anyone else. Also, you are rad.
I have NO idea who Bloggess is, but she’s not the only one to use lots of post scripts. I’ve been doing it since High School… TONS of people do it. I don’t think that is any one persons ‘thing’. If you identify a writer by one ‘thing’ that person does, then every one is copy cats because HOLY CRAP we all use LETTERS!! There’s more to style than something like that. I wouldn’t give it up. Just my two cents.
I’ve been doing it since day one, and I’m pretty sure I’ve been blogging longer than you and Jenny. Combined.
You bitches best be givin’ me my due. I charge in thin mints.
Un yeah, multiple post scripts may be used by other folks but it is so common that it’s no one’s “thing”. It pre-dates blogging! P.S. as much as you want!
*snork* @mrlady
yes, what she said [LETTERS, OMG!] @jessica
dudes, i don’t think pam was trying to be rude or anything, maybe she was just being funny? @everyonewhojumpeddownherthroat
i heart your ps’s @loralee
ps i’m kind of iffy on tomatoes.
I can tell what letter on your keyboard is worn out.
I don’t own PPPPPS’s. I stole it from a friend who was doing it in 7th grade. But I *do* own footnotes. Also, subtitles, adverbs and using apostrophes incorrectly is totally me. And also I own the word “the” but I try not to make a fuss about it because I’m not an asshole. But if you push me on it I will sue you. Try defending yourself in court without being able to use the word “the”. It’s like I’ve won already.
PS. I don’t really own footnotes. Jen Lancaster does. But she let’s me use them so it’s like a time-share. On footnotes. It’s kind of confusing.
God, you crack me up. I love to read you, even on the bad days.
Well,I am very glad that the Bloggess came and cleared up the air. Oh crap, I used the word the. Damn, I used it again.
Please don’t sue Bloggess. Purdy Please? LOL
I think my head imploded from reading the comments…
Bebe. Over a week without bebe pictures. Where are the baby pictures?!
-oh, and how are you?
Signed, one of your minions.
