I wonder how long before this energy drink buzz wears off.
I wonder how many times the average professional baseball player throws a baseball in their lifetime.
I wonder, who has publishing rights to the book of love?
I wonder if I'll be at this company for more than 5 years. 10?
I wonder about Tony, where he could be, who he is with, what is he thinking, is he thinking of me, and whether he'll ever return some day.

As I walk along,
I wonder what went wrong,
With our love, a love that was so strong.
And as I still walk on,
I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young.
I'm a-walkin' in the rain,
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain,
Wishin' you were here by me,
To end this misery
And I wonder--
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder,
Why,
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away,
Yes, and I wonder,
A-where she will stay-ay,
My little runaway,
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
I'm a-walkin' in the rain,
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain,
Wishin' you were here by me,
To end this misery
And I wonder--
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder,
Why,
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away,
Yes, and I wonder,
A-where she will stay-ay,
My little runaway,
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
Run, run, run, run, runaway.

I wonder what will happen next
I wonder how much control I really have
I wonder if I'm going about it in the right way
I wonder how much of the world I will really see
I wonder if I'll ever figure out what it is I really want
I wonder if I do, will it make a difference

I wonder if I really could have been someone else.
I wonder how many alternate choices I could make and still be "me".
I wonder if anything is really ever knowable. Seems 99% of what we "know" is past experience cobbled together with assumptions.
I wonder if I can get my husband addicted to energy drinks so he'll wonder as often as I do.
I wonder if it's my wondering temperment that makes me neurotic...or vice versa....or if I'm actually neurotic or not.
I wonder if "neurotic" is a word I should be carelessly throwing about.
I wonder how long I could continue this train of thought if I had infinite time.

....And I begin to wonder...(channeling Dannii Minogue, the lesser known but equally talented sister of Kylie)

*I wonder when I'll get married

*I wonder how different my life would be if my loved ones who passed were still here on earth with me. If Robin & Chris were here, alive on earth rather than Heaven, where or how, would I be? Yet, I know that they watch over me and guide me all of the time. Maybe I'm right where I'm supposed to be. :)

*I wonder, why can't I be at the beach and not cooped up in this freezing office? Oops! I already know the answer to that one..

*I wonder how I got to be so unbelievably Blessed by God, when I think, "I don't deserve such blessings"! Still, I'm way thankful and am happy and wouldn't trade my life at all! I think the pain you go through, those awful, scary dark moments make you appreciate the joy so much more. Sometimes, you have to walk through hell to really appreciate Heaven :)

*I wonder about the mysterious "Tony" that GD alludes to in his post. I wonder what the odds are that it could be Tony Danza. You just never know...;)

Ooh! I can answer that!! NEVER. :evil: For as long as Bernie Kopell (Dr. Adam Bricker, Love Boat) Ricardo Montalban (Mr. Rourke, Fantasy Island) Don Johnson (Sonny yummy Crockett, Miami Vice) and everybody from VH-1 reality shows & specials walk the earth, I shall obsess. You shall get sweet relief when they pass (GOD FORBID!) because then you know, it will become creepy (like it ain't already. :rolleyes: :p )

I am obsessed with George Takei (Sulu). I just had to let that be known. :D

I wonder, if we let Munchkin hang out on our balcony, will he try to chew through our bicycle tires?
I wonder how many people only pretend to like me.
I wonder if my secrets are as well kept as I thiink (or, rather, I wonder if they're as poorly kept as I suspect)
I wonder what people think I'm referring to.
I wonder, how do I work this? Where is that large automobile?

I wonder why I keep getting headaches
I wonder if they-who-know-who-they-are will post that thing
I wonder what I am going to do for the 4th of July
I wonder why I can't go home since I have nothing to do today
I wonder why people have high expectations for something that is free.

"I wonder, I wonder
I wonder why each
Little bird has someone
To sing to sweet things to
A gay little love melody?
I wonder, I wonder
If my heart keeps singing
Will my song go winging
To someone who'll find me
And bring back a love song to me?"

I wonder if maybe I shouldn't wonder so much.

I wonder how long before the medication I accidentally took wears off.

This morning was extremely stressful. I had about 5 problems going simultaneously (mostly work-related) and also had a major headache. My mind was going a hundred miles an hour.

So, Matthew asks me I could bring him one of his pills (he takes an anti-depressant). I do so and then get a phone call. I sit the bottle of pills on the counter in the bathroom and walk away, and while still talking, I'm reminded of how bad my head hurts and I walk back into the bathroom, meaning to take two aspirin. Except that I absent-mindedly pick up his pill bottle and proceed to take two of his pills. By the time I realized what I had done, it was too late.

I didn't feel anything for hours but now I am all anxious and almost speedy. I don't think it is anything to necessarily worry about and I know it will wear off in a while but I'm really antsy and I don't like it. I tried working but came home. I tried sleeping it off but can't get to sleep. I tried reading and couldn't focus. So, I'm sort of just sitting here watching tv and wondering how much of this feeling is real and how much of it is in my head, simply because I know I took the pills. I swear, I feel like a moron for doing it but it's a little late to do much about it.

So, I wonder how long this **** lasts. :rolleyes:

I'm also wondering about another 1000 or so things right now but I think I'll refrain from sharing until I'm out of my stupor. :)

I am the most recent person to post drug induced rantings. That was three months ago. I am wanting someone else to do it now. Please post, MBC.

On a serious note, that is scary to take something like that when it isn't needed. Messes with you brain chemistry. I hope it clears the system quickly.

I think it takes 6 weeks to normalize the brain chemistry of someone who needs their brain chemistry adjusted. On someone with brain chemistry in balance, I am not exactly sure what to expect. And he took double the dosage. Not to try to freak him out or anything. I'm sure it will clear, but I am also certain that his symptomology is not being imagined.

Yeah, me too. I wish I could say I was enjoying the altered state but out of all of the drugs I've taken in my day, I must say this is on the bottom of the list.

So, lets see...

I wonder if this lottery ticket will win so I can book a month at the Grand Cal while I plan.

I wonder if the adorable kitty that lives in the apartment above us will fall out of the screen it is pushing against so I can save her, then steal her. :evil:

I wonder if CP will add another topic to the inspiration thread.

I wonder if GC, or anyone else for that matter, will ever top his "Peanuts" post.

I wonder if we could all get along in an artists commune.

I wonder if the dems can pull their head out of their ass in time.

I wonder how the bunny is doing and what wire he is chewing through right now.

I wonder if I would feel better if I just hopped around and chewed some stuff.

I wonder if I should have skipped the large coffee this morning.

I wonder how scaeagles sphincter is holding up.

I don't think a couple of pills will do any damage. It takes something like 6 weeks to work its way into the system and even then you have to take it everyday. There could be complications if MBC is allergic to the meds or it mixes with something else he's on or if he drinks alcohol...

Yeah, I'm not too worried about it. I checked the site of the drug (Lexapro) pretty extensively and didn't find anything too alarming. I also don't have any drug allergies that I'm aware of. And although a glass of wine might calm my nerves a bit, I'm not about to introduce another substance into my system. I didn't even take the damn aspirin. :)

Still, I'm going to refrain from driving until tomorrow. I don't want to get somewhere, only to find that I don't feel comfortable driving home. Everything can wait until tomorrow.

You're not expecting more surgery, are you?

Thanks. And no, not expecting any more. May have to have an outpatient procedure in a couple months which is common (to stretch the esophagus, as healing will cause shrinkage - I was told this pre surgery).

Outlook is pretty good, although studies are limited. The only long term study ever done could only find 51 people in the world who have had my surgery over 10 years ago, and 48 have had no problems.

As it is incurable, I still have days when I spasm up. That's all I was referring to.

I wonder when I should change that battery in the alarm clock.I've been told that if you touch the battery to your tongue, the strength of the shock you feel is an indication of how much life is left in the battery. Granted, this was told to me by a crazy person, and since I have no interest in subjecting myself to mild electrical shocks of any degree, I will be forever ignorant of whether this was a joke or not.

If you want to try it, go ahead. Let me know if it works.

If you want to try it, go ahead. Let me know if it works.Obviously, this (practically) only works with 9 volt batteries (although I would like to meet the person who could get their tounge to touch both the positive and negative terminals on a "D" cell battery).

The jolt isn't too bad - mostly startling. And you have to have a fair amount of experience to know the difference between the jolt from a good or bad battery.

And never stick your tongue in a wall socket to see if it is working.

Matterhorn Fan

06-21-2006, 08:21 PM

Well, I thought lashbear was talking about putting a 9V in his alarm clock in another thread, so I assumed he was referring to a 9V.

I accidentally had my finger on the metal part of the plug while plugging in an electrix mixer once. So, been there, done that.
