Well. here i am, finally posting again. Sorry i've been so neglectful with my posting. I can't think of much to write about. And I am lazy. Speaking of lazy. What ever happened to the "Lazy Susan" You know.. those things you put on a table that spin around so you can pass the food more easily. We need to bring those back. I miss Susan and her lazy ways. Maybe people got to carried away and spun her to fast and she spilled mashed potatoes over grandma and grandma had to sue lazy Susan to pay for her docter's bill due to 2nd degree burns. Who knows.
-edit- woo! new blog look. sexified.

I knew you would say something about my happy note.
And way to "edit" the same that I have before and had you make fun of me.
I never had a lazy susan. I didn't really know they existed.
Wikipedia comes through:
A Lazy Susan is a rotating tray placed on top of a table to aid in moving food on a large table or counter tops. They come in many sizes and shapes, but are usually circular. They may be made of glass, wood, steel, plastic, or various other hard substances such as stone etc. They are often found in Chinese restaurants with a large table.
A corner cabinet on which the shelves are mounted on a vertical axle such that items may be retrieved by pushing on the shelves to turn them may also be called a lazy Susan. This type is usually found in kitchens. Closed, this type of lazy Susan appears to be two normal cabinets at right angles to each other. When pushed on, the cabinet "doors" reveal the shelves, which are circular except for the ninety degree cutout where the doors are mounted.
The term "Lazy Susan" made its first written appearance in a Vanity Fair advertisement for a "Revolving Server or Lazy Susan" in 1917. Prior to that time they were called dumbwaiters.
[edit]Origin
Thomas Jefferson is reputed to have invented the Lazy Susan[citation needed], which has been in popular use since the eighteenth century. Lazy Susans were originally known as dumbwaiters, although the name Lazy Susan replaced this term in the twentieth century, though no later than 1917. In many parts of the world including Britain, the term "dumb waiter" nowadays means something completely different: a lift or elevator for transporting items such as food and plates between floors of a house, usually from a kitchen to a dining room. If you read all this --- you might need to get a life.
i have a lazy susan in my cabinet..it has spices and such on it
there's a really good chinese restaurant in Waco, and on the biggest table, there is a lazy susan. I love it. I also saw a lazy susan at a Chinese restaurant in Vienna. Interesting.
When you're in Waco with me next time, we can go to that Chinese restaurant.
