OK, I don't get it. Piqued means to irritate or anger someone, especially their ego. Did I miss something?

pique is a verb that is used in the context of increased arousal - positive or negative and thus can be used to speak of interest (positive) or anger (negative)

Kathy - have you not got your old avatar to put back up??

 

Probably on a thumb drive somewhere... It's not that important that I spend time looking for it... I'm not good managing my computer files!!

So good to see Scrat back. The picture was lovely and reminded me of Kathy's.

[invalidusername]

swiftly rectified

 

It was Kathy's pic! She lost hers and I was trying to send it back to her! 

 

Took the plunge 4 hours ago. Very spaced out and very apprehensive about the next few days. Just wish I could be sure that all the physical symptoms were related to the Lexapro and/or taking both at the same time.

drawn apart

[KathyInFL]

apart ment lol

 

 

Okay, I live in a condo, not an apartment, but it's similar to an apartment. It's right next to the train. AND, this is the 3rd night in a row that the "square" outside is having some sort of shindig.... I'm old and the noise bothers me... But I like my condo, so I will deal with it.

 

Where did you find my avatar, IUN? Thank you so much!!!

xoxox

[invalidusername]

apartment block

 

Us techies have our methods of finding these things

 

...and age has nothing to do with being bothered by noise - assuming early 40's is not considered old!

[KathyInFL]

block party

 

Like I said one time before, I have socks older than you, IUN!

 

The music has stopped... yay!! It usually goes on for another hour or so. And it's not necessarily very loud, it's just weird sounds I can hear, I'd probably rather hear the entire song instead of just the yodeling part I can hear. It's hard to describe.

 

Way back machine?

[invalidusername]

party time

 

That sounds like something that would really annoy me!! I used a Google cache to get your avatar, but Way back machine would have done as well I expect.

 

Thank you for making me feel young - well younger than a sock
