Do you ever with you could just ask futher just anything?

Asked by La_chica_gomela (12594points) December 16th, 2008

Some things fluther just wouldn’t know, and it’s pointless to ask. ie
-Where did I put my keys?
-Is there going to be another 90s party on campus this spring, or should I throw these shoes out?
-What does my boyfriend want for Christmas?

But do you ever just really want to ask anyway? The middle one, that’s mine. It prompted me to ask this question. Oh, that one pair of shoes, that I can never seem to part with even though you are so useless, oh you!

Ah, if only…

[Since it turned out my first edit of this question was while Nimis was actually answering, and my edit screwed up his answer, I’ll move it down here: Do you ever with you could just ask futher just anything? and actually get the answer?]

Not true! What about this gem?
See? You can ask Fluther anything. :)
Plus, I’d bet Figbash could help you find a good present for your boyfriend.

And I bet we could help you figure out where you put your keys, even if we didn’t answer directly.

Nimis, good one, but he is on fluther! I could ask under a psydonym, but after this question, I don’t think that would be exactly under the radar. I think I’ve got it under control for now though.

Private message is your friend!

There are a lot of questions I can’t ask because so many of my IRL friends are on here. A girl needs to keep her secrets.

There should be an official Private Question Day on Fluther.
We could IM the mods and they could ask for us or something.

Wait, once a year wouldn’t exactly work…

i decided to settle the issue of that one tacky pair of shoes by making the question my facebook status. Perhaps someone will tell me the answer…So if any of yall’s facebook friends’ status is a question about a tacky pair of shoes, that’s probably me, wouldn’t it be weird if you knew me in real life and didn’t know it? Wouldn’t it be weird for me if I knew you and didn’t know it? Now is your chance to find out!

Keep the shoes, obviously. I mean, really. If you don’t use them in 6 months, get rid of them.

@la_chica, Weren’t you just telling me you were a proofreader, and correcting my grammar? Have you seen your own question here? I write this with love and quirky humor…

La_chica_gomela's avatar

Trustinglife: EXACTLY! My job doesn’t involve writing anything correctly myself, only reading stuff someone else wrote, and fixing it. Thus, that is now what I do, (EDIT: but reading over it, the only real problems I see are that I left out a colon at the end of the first line, and the sentence addressed to “that one pair of shoes” is somewhat questionable, grammatically. Do you see anything else?)

Andrew, By that rule of thumb, I would have to throw out all my snow boots, and a lot of my flip flops. On the other, I have not worn that one pair for at least five years.

@la_chica_gomela: Great! Keep ‘em!

La_chica_gomela's avatar

HAHA HAHAH HAH A oh, and it says “with” instead of “wish”....
What a crappy proofreader I am!

Trustinglife's avatar

Haha! We’re even, chica!
You did notice you called this “futher,” too, right?

EmpressPixie's avatar

There’s always going to be another ‘90s party on campus. And another ‘80s party.

augustlan's avatar

Keep the shoes! And your ‘Fluther’ is notably lacking an ‘L’. Twice : )

wundayatta's avatar

How do you know she didn’t mean further? Huh? Huh?

La_chica_gomela's avatar

trusting: no, i didn’t!!! i don’t know if we’re even. i think you’re winning!

Trustinglife's avatar

Ooh, I like winning! (Wait, how many o’s are in “Ooh”?)

Jeruba's avatar

Three: “oooh.” With fewer, it’s not really oooey enough.

I made that rule up all by myself.

Trustinglife's avatar

Lurve for “oooey.” I especially like that there are three “o’s” in “oooey.”

Jeruba's avatar

@TL, thank you. I do grant myself a few Humpty Dumpty liberties with English, figuring we know each other well enough by now.

“Wheee” also gets a triple. Otherwise it’s not—you know—
