You'll see my name Ballroom Diva on there because I win a lot and when I don't win I have to get in there and try to win!

Anyway, I have to use his computer now cuz mine has viruses. So after he's off I'll get back on.
That's ok. my percocet is kicking in and I am going to keep away from games that take any thought

Well, I've been sitting around all day with the creeping crud-snot in the throat with headache-computing away. Dog gone it, I knew I should have grabbed a wet wipe near the entrance of the Super Wal-mart before punching in my pen number and then going to the local hamburger joint drive through window for a quick, shove-a-hamburger-and-some-fries-down-my throat-to-keep-the-old-blood-sugar-from-plummeting-to-the-fatal-zone, dinner a week ago!! LOL! Could have been the dirty change come to think of it. Or maybe I somehow ticked off the server and she sneezed on my food-ew!

I'd take the nice and dumb if it had to be that way, but I've not noticed that dumb people are any nicer than smart ones.

I don't mind wine tasters either, as long as they don't spit.

Depends on what you need and when. I think I'll take the smart and pompous neurosurgeon. If however, I'm going sailing, I'd rather have the nice numbskull--as long as he can tie his knots.

Well call me condescending but I rather like stupid people. Not only do they make me appear way smarter than I already am, but with stupid people you can kind of kick back and not have to engage quite so much brain power. You can slack off, bring yourself down to their level, intellectually speaking. Sort of take a brain holiday.

Just kidding.

Okay, I'm back - sort of. He's off the computer, but we gotta eat dinner and watch our tivo'd shows. I'll be back on here a little later but I can't stay up all night as I have to be somewhere kind of early.

Oh, and I'm smart but I act like a dumb*ss most of the time, so you guys should feel pretty comfy with me!

See ya all later!

I hope Mahjongg went well Twinkle!

As for the thread. I prefer to be around people that I can hold an intellectual, stimulating conversation with, but not someone that is so intellectual they seem to speak in a different language. Just because you have a large vocabulary and know a lot of things, doesn't mean you have to show off all the time.
