so, I just found out I'm pregnant...
 
scary, isn't it...Just thought I'd let you all know:)

lookout123 04-01-2005 03:20 PM

uh, congratulations. did you at least tell Arsen before telling us?

oh nevermind - i guess i do see him laying on the floor with a look of absolute terror on his face.

glatt 04-01-2005 03:20 PM

Congratulations! Being a parent is difficult at times, but very rewarding.

lookout123 04-01-2005 03:22 PM

and BTW, be careful what you wish for...

Damn it, I don't have the self control to let this go any longer-
APRIL FOOL'S!!!!!! hahahahahah. No WAY am I pregnant. :) I can just see the looks of horror on your faces, the rolling eyes, the gasps of "oh god, not her, oh NO!"

so ANYWAY,
I need some ideas for a good trick to play on my husband when he gets home tonight. The pregnant thing won't work because he knows I'm "on the rag".
I want to get him good! any suggestions?

glatt 04-01-2005 03:31 PM

Congratulations again. You are the first person today to trick me.

richlevy 04-01-2005 03:32 PM

Neat trick. Did you let Arsen in on the joke or does he need CPR?

Brown Thrasher 04-01-2005 03:39 PM

Tell him you want to get pregnent....

staceyv 04-01-2005 03:40 PM

He knows I can't be pregnant, I didn't even try that one on him...

So, what CAN I do to trick him?
I thought about putting saran wrap over the toilet bowl, but yuck, I don't want pee splattered all over my bathroom!

and you think half white/black babies are the cutest so if you aren't home tonight it's because you are interviewing prospective donors.

staceyv 04-01-2005 03:44 PM

won't work, I could've had an oreo with my ex-husband if I wanted to...

lookout123 04-01-2005 03:51 PM

well, my wife got me this morning. i walked out into my garage this morning to find the door open and my truck missing. i was remiss in double checking our door locks just 2 nights before that, so i really stopped cold in my tracks.

yeah, it turns out that making me think the truck was stolen was A) an april fool's joke, and B) a reminder of what can happen if i forget to double check the locks.

Tell him you have congenital heart disease. That always has them rolling in the aisles.

Seriously, someone from our medical insurance company actually called my husband at work today to let him know that there were counseling services available for my congenital heart condition. :mg: He laughed at her and told her he wasn't falling for it, then called me to let me know that "my little April Fool's joke" hadn't worked, and that whoever my friend was they didn't even sound remotely like someone who worked in an insurance office. Except I did no such thing.

So now I'm wondering if it's just a simple mixup, or if someone at Blue Cross/Blue Shield is bored out of their mind and playing pranks on random people...

Does he have a co-worker that would do this? Someone that knows your name and knows what the company plan is?


staceyv,
Tell him you are bored and decided to join the neighborhood civic association. Some committee or something. There will be lots of meetings. He'll have to do more around the house by himself, because you won't be there as much. Something along those lines. You know him better than anyone, so you know what he will fall for.

Spencer woke us up at 6:02, yellling that there was a snake in the living room. Since I had seen a nasty bug right before I went to sleep, and didn't sleep well because of it, I fell for it hard. Jim was sceptical but I really didn't think the kid had it in him. Little fucker. He'll pay...

Clodfobble 04-01-2005 05:17 PM

Holy hell, he's what, seven years old? You got yourself a mischief-maker, that's for sure...

perth 04-01-2005 05:29 PM

Case pulled the "I'm pregnant" thing while we were dating. It wasn't really April Fool's but in retaliation for some goofy prank I played on her.

It backfired tho. I got all excited and started talking about moving in together and getting a nursery together and me getting a better paying job and all that. So she felt really bad having to tell me she was joking.

The you released your own punch line. You said, "I know".

perth 04-01-2005 07:34 PM

Actually, I was upset. I went from 0 to "completely stoked" in about 1/10th of a second. Then from "completely stoked" to "utterly disappointed" just as fast.

This winter I saw two pictures of odd ice formations on Lake Superior and the Missouri River. I've been curious as to how they form, then today the Earth Science Picture of the Day site had similar formations so I got exited and read the explanation that refered several times to the three links; pancake ice, waffle ice and Pi ice.
Yeah, a big stack of pancakes with butter and syrup, Belgian waffle with the same and an apple pie. Hook, line and sinker. :lol:

I emailed the author telling him he'd taken me in completely and why. He sent back from the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA. what I wanted to know. Nice guy.

The tag line on his email - "...the appearances of nature are the truths of nature...it is through their show, not their analysis, that we enter into their deepest truths. What they say to the childlike soul is the truest thing to be gathered of them..."

I was only "got" once. By John DeBella no less.

It just happened that on the Friday before we changed the clocks ahead, I was starting a new job. I am not at my best early in the morning. These are given facts.

Now, he decided to play a prank on his listeners by telling everyone over the air that the clocks should have been set ahead an hour the night before, and kept up the pretense until nine o'clock. Unfortunately I got up at six, heard that, panicked without thinking, called my "new" boss, told him I'd be a little late due to the time change, dashed off to the job sans breakfast, arrived there to an empty parking lot and a locked door. An hour early. I was a good sport but mom was pissed enough to call the station and complain.

I thought the year that he switched around what hours he did things was much, much better ... they did the 9:00 bits at 7:00 and so on, and when giving the FCC mandated time marks, only gave the minutes part ...

I had to check my alarm clock three times when I heard the idi amin clock and thought I'd overslept by two hours ...
