How did my phrase translate literally to English?

Your dog has monkey piercings and wears turtle ankle socks whilst whistling DDR in the tearoom.

6. I'm an insomniac. All that damn counting!

I've always blamed my constant fatigue on all the counting...I can fall asleep ANYwhere, and have. I can sleep sitting up, and once or twice I've actually fallen asleep STANDING up--fortunately, I woke up before I fell down.

To add to mine:
--My morning must start the same way every day. Get up, put on slippers, go turn on the TV, then start the coffee, THEN go to the restroom...this must be followed even if I really, really feel the need to skip straight to the restroom part. Then, go turn on the laptop, feed the cats, make my coffee--which is a ritual of its own, sit down. Check email, always comcast first then gmail. THEN I get on my phone to check the Amazon Free App of the Day, and download my crossword puzzles for the day. Then back to the laptop to check Facebook, then CL, then Amazon deals of the day, then TPF. After that, I can visit other sites, but those must come first, and in that order.

--And then there's Angry Birds. HOW could I have forgotten Angry Birds in my first post?!? Dumbest game on the planet, and I simply Cannot. Stop. Playing.

Ok, so my addictions are:

Coffee with Hazelnut creamer and Splenda used as a sweetener. Coffee goes first, Splenda and creamer go next..in that order. My husband and I are all day coffee drinkers, we will make a pot at 9pm at night knowing we are going to bed in an hour. I HAVE to have coffee, if we run out, I will make my husband go to the store before he goes to bed so I will have some first thing.
If I make coffee, I only make 4 cups..no more..and I have a certain spoon I have to use. If I do it any other way, it never tastes right. For this reason, i don't make coffee anywhere else but at home. Co-workers have to do it at work..LOL

Cigarrettes..yeh, I know...bad, disgusting, unhealthy habit..been smoking since I was 15 though, and it's harrrrrrrd to quit. Plus, you kinda have to want to, and I don't

I'm addicted to Facebook, and now with having the app on my phone makes it that much worse, my husband hates it.
I'm also addicted to Angry Birds, like really addicted. If I have 5 mins where I'm not doing anything, I play Angry Birds. I even play it while in the bathroom at work and at home... I know..it's sad..LOL

I love to read and absolutely must read before I got to sleep at night, even if it's for 5 minutes. I can't go to sleep unless I have read something.

I love McDonald's cheeseburgers... and if I have a headache, cold, or even nauseated..this is what I want..it doesn't make any sense because when I have a cold..I can't taste..if I'm nauseated..food is the last thing one would think I would want, but something about those cheeseburgers makes it better! LOL..

Which leads me to say..I can never eat the end of any burger.. no matter where I started.. nor can I drink the last bit of anything in a can.

DIET COKE! Has to be cold and I can never finish a whole can unless I'm eating. If it starts to warm up at all, can't finish it.

I can't stand the feeling of sand/grit on my bare feet. I have hardwood floors in my house. With 3 kids and 2 dogs and a husband who loves the outdoors..i am constantly sweeping. I have gotten to where I never take socks off my feet.

If I can't get comfortable in bed, I have to stick a foot out from under the covers. I can then go to sleep.

I am also addicted to the phone. I can never be at home, and just relaxing and watching TV. I have to be on the phone, UNLESSSS my husband's off work and then he gets mad if I stay on the phone. But other than this, I am usually always on it.

I can only put $20 in my Tahoe at once. I have a complete mental block about paying more than $20 for gas at one time. I.just.can't.do.it.

OF course this amount does not go far in a Tahoe so I find myself at the gas station alot

I have a phobia of Frogs and Lizards..like go crazy kind of phobia. Once visited the National Museum of Science or whatever that place is in D.C. and had an anxiety attack just being in room full of dead, stuffed ones.
I'm 5 ft tall and will beat someone down if they even think of coming close to me with one. My husband thought he'd be cute and do this one time... he was a little surprised to say the least at how I reacted.. and wouldn't dream of EVER doing that again..LOL

Ok..that's all for now

How far does $20 of gas get you ?

I :heart: DDR

I was QUITE good at it too!

We have a Duplex (92 years old), and live in the Up unit. We were renovating the lower unit, and paid a lot to redo the plaster ceiling in the lower unit.
Too much DDR cracked that ceiling and a big section of plaster came crashing down.

We then turned a room in the lower unit into our game room. Now we have a tennant, and I have no place to DDR




I also love SingStar and RockBand :lmao:

I also love Neil Diamond songs.

:lmao: :thumbup:

A for effort. Saw that huff and puff at the end dude!

a lot of what you'all are poting is what I 'd call 'normal' like putting cream and sugar in your cup before pouring the coffee, that's the ONLY logical way to do it. Otherwise you'll need to clean a spoon and make more dirty dishes, jeesh!

I'm not overly obsessive compolsive like some of you but I strive to accomplish tasks with the least amount of effort. ;0

BTW, I counted 37 idiotic drivers I had to pass on the way home...

These days, for my car in the UK, ~$20 only takes my car about 60-65 miles (around town). What a joke!! All tax!

How did my phrase translate literally to English?

"Do you listen to listen to Norwegian black metal?"

LOL, perfect english, but our syntax is a little different. Whilst "å gjøre" means the same as "to do", we don't use that verb in such a context.. people would give you looks "do you" can here be substituted by our present form of the verb "hørER" (høyrER: nynorsk)... this is basically the same as your s-ending in "listenS".



BTW, the people on this site are apparently crazy.........some more than others

I also have to squeeze out an inch of toothpaste before I use it because I think it's gross that the end of the toothpaste was touched by a toothbrush. I will not share toothpaste.

HEY!! I resemble that remark...

All the fast food talk reminds me:

I can' start on my beverage until my food arrives....even if it takes 30 minutes.

 

[sm4him]

BTW, I counted 37 idiotic drivers I had to pass on the way home...

and earlier:

I count how many retards I have to pass to get home every day.

Wait. You count retards AND idiotic drivers!?!? Whoa, dude, that's just plain crazy...not like the rest of us "normal" folks here, lol...

 

[Compaq]

aren't those, like, synonyms?

 

[e.rose]

Here's another one... because I caught myself doing it 3 times now...

When you see me write something like ::smacks forehead:: Chances are I'll actually do it after typing it out while sitting here.
