Hoss is bad (to Heidi and I at least). Baggins- Heidi and I would have called your list the "cool points list"Here is my list of hoss things:
5. eighth graders are hoss 4. seventh graders are a lot more hoss 3. people that are unkind to animals are hoss 2. cleaning the litter box is hoss 1. people that are unkind to other people is the most hoss
very very bad- think "hostile", posted 27 Jan 2006 by mercurymouth »

most hoss - people who find out what is going on and then interrupt you and say oh i totally know what you are going through exactly there was this guy in my high school english class who did that ...WHAT???!!!!!!!!!! that is screaming inside of me. that is a hoss experience.
peter just added this - it is one thing to be able to relate or to cope, but to divert about some other person somewhere in some other time is bizarre and undermines everything and makes you want to just hide somewhere.
not to be critical because some people are so kind, but sometimes they are hoss. (again, i know they don't know what in the world to say - what can you say??? but making it small and relateable feels hoss on some days)

heidi BECOMING an ra and not busting us for margaritas during the summer but actually pushing "frappe" on blending deviceOSCAR!, posted 30 Jan 2006 by Sadiegirl »
Oscar (or Hosscar, as Heidi called him at times), has had some pretty hoss incidences in the past. Oscar is the orange tabby that I bought for Heidi (who was a kitten at the infamous 'patio party'). He lives with me now. Laura made reference to this in her post in "jolly ranchers," mentioning Hosscar's flying leap off of our balcony. Kris and I were planning on leaving for CA. on sat. night, and on fri. night, oscar jumped off of that balcony we had (at LEAST 40 ft. off of the ground). Long story short, he broke his sternum (sp?) and Hyde and I had to spend over $500 taking him to the emergency vet. to get x-rays and steroid shots to make him better. Kris and I still had our lovely trip to CA., but I was $500 poorer the day before b/c of that hoss little cat, lol. That hoss little bastard is still here, keeping me company and sitting on my lap constantly. He knows that his "ginga mick" is gone... cats have such a sense for loss and sadness. He misses Heidi and comforts me... more than I can even express in words. Maybe he's not so hoss afterall... :)hosscar gone wilde, posted 31 Jan 2006 by vanessa »
hosscar loves dat vanessa...he may be comforting, but a poor, poor judge of character...payback one way or another, posted 31 Jan 2006 by mercurymouth »
remember when hoss-car was being SUPER hoss and that usually always stemmed from his intense curiosity - and one afternoon heidi couldn't find him anywhere and a few hours later she opened the fridge and he walked out of it, playing it off like he meant to spend the afternoon in there.Hosscar and The FRIDGE!! Hosscar lost!, posted 31 Jan 2006 by Sadiegirl »
Oh Laura, that little punk used to get himself locked in the fridge ALL of the time!! He's like a little Houdini. He would leap in there, so swiftly that we wouldn't see him, and a few minutes later we'd hear banging in the pantry (where the fridge was). That time you are referring to, Heidi felt SO bad, he was in there for hours, lol. His fault!! Curiously killed that cat is so true when it comes to cats like him.And remember when he ran outside and he was lost for nine days? Heidi and Kris and Jenny and I put up 100s or fliers (no joke) all in color and on EVERY post in EVERY alley and street within a square mile of our house, lol. And Hyde insisted on offering a $100 reward. Our efforts paid off. Nine days and ten pounds later, these gypsies called us and HAD HIM!! I thought for sure they were scamming, but it was that little bastard!!! Nicole and Vanessa took me to these people's house to pick him up. Heidi and I were SO thrilled to have him back. The best 100 bucks we ever spent.

that's right, aft, i remember the story of of oscar getting caught in the pullout. geeezus..that cat really is nuts. sadie can attest to the fact that he plops his orange a$$ down on my lap literally every time i walk in. he KNOWS i'm *emotionally* allergic to cats. however, his spite has won me over, as i am a fan of spite--it happens to be what fuels me 90% of the time...which is kind of pathetic when you think of it : )i wish i was fueled by something more sexy like passion...but spite gets me through just fine. speaking of being fueled..does anyone remember heidi running cross country??? just when i thought i had her figured out....: )i know! she was such a little running ginger!, posted 8 Feb 2006 by mercurymouth »

most people would find running at dawn with a hangover HOSS but it didn't bother heidi at all because she had some crazy kind of superhuman strength. (see i had to tie it back to HOSS)Heidi's Cross Country Diet, posted 9 Feb 2006 by Sadiegirl »
As God (and Vanessa) as my witness, that girl would eat the CRAZIEST s@#! when she was running cross-country. She didn't want to gain any weight (and man, was she thin our freshman year!), so in the ARA she would pile up HUGE amounts of lettuce and other hoss veggies from the ara salad bar. But she would mix them with some CRAZY stuff.When she really wanted a treat she would get white rice and pour A-1 Sauce all over it (which is actually really good). To enjoy her baked potatoes she would also put a-1 all over them instead of the (normal) alternative: fattening butter and sour cream.
Those are just a few of the hoss entrees she created for herself in the most hoss ARA. Does anyone else remember any of her hoss food creations??? LOL

cereal morning noon and night... there is no reason not to love the ara...except for the sunday brunch lunch where they would serve waffles eggs and mashed potatoes on top of spaghetti...however, i do remember the moments when heidi would get something in the dessert department and then proceed to smash her napkin on top of it---so she wouldn't be tempted of course... that was only during season though....
Napkin Smashing, posted 10 Feb 2006 by Sadiegirl »

That was a great hoss list!!Heidi's Scopebook, posted 7 Mar 2006 by Sadiegirl »
When we were in college, Heidi had this absolutely hilarious (but somewhat hoss I guess) habit of recording our thoughts on people in her scopebook, and her sophomore year scopebook was really something. She was sooo so, so funny with her descriptions of people, some of whom she had never even met!!!! We had hours and hours and hours of fun with this scopebook, we really did. Recording our observations of people (which, I know, is so incredibly hoss) actually brings great laughs. Really, I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but afterall, this is the "HOSS PAGE," and to be honest, there only a very few of you that read this website that are listed in the descriptions below, and you already know who you are I think... lol. I won't put the names that go with the comments... you have to guess, lol... HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF OUR DESCRIPTIVE GEMS: (the really witty ones are Heidi's, of course)NARC! SUPER HOSS HEROIN MAN "YOU WANNA FIGHT?" (This is the picture of a girl who has a hoss scowl) BASTARD, DIE A-HOLE (LOL, Don't ask) SCARY LARRY COFFEE BOY HAND WAVING FETISH THUG NICE!

I remember a hoss story I used to share with Heidi that she (and sadiegirl) used to get a kick out of...on my way on a night bus ride from London to Scotland in fall 1998, this older Scottish guy across from me kept bothering everyone around him--I was minding my own beeswax, just trying to fall asleep to my Braveheart cd (trying to get in the mood..ha ha),--and this guy keeps singing out loud, throwing his garbage down on the floor by the girl next to him, asking me if he could listen to a bit of my cd...and the best part was when he was like, "Oh! Somethin's POKIN me!" and he pulls out this big ol bottle of gin from his back pocket. HOSS but hilarious! I loved doing that dumb imitation with Heidi!HOSS, posted 13 Mar 2006 by mercurymouth »

so, they replaced the toilet seats in caroline hall in the men's bathroom. Before, they had "normal" cheap toilet seats from the 80s or whatever. But when they replaced them, they put in these like, "ergonomic" seats that kind of curve up on the backside, as if your last lumbar vertebra really needs support while you're taking a dook! I don't know about you guys, but my general philosophy on public toilet seats is: "the less contact with my body, the better" and these seats were firmly in the "more contact" camp. Yuck!

"the use of "you women" is pretty hoss "why? i am not a woman, nor do i have a uterus. therefore i used a term to group together people who (a)i am not; and (b) all (by definition) have uteruses. is it now degrading to refer to women as 'women'? i mean, perhaps my syntax just happened to trigger some epithet i wasn't aware of. but i guess i'm just perplexed as to why 'you women' would be negative?
More Hoss Toilet Stuff, posted 2 May 2006 by Sadiegirl »
Those ergonomic toilet seats are one of the hossest bathroom things I've ever heard of. It would be weird enough to have that in your own house, but to have to deal with that in a PUBLIC restroom? Really gross.When Tom re-did our house, he put in a new tub, sink and toilet in the bathroom. Tom's really tall, so I remember one of the things he was insisting on was a 'big' toilet. At first I didn't know what he meant but then it became clear to me as we were searching for toilets: he wanted a high-off-the-ground toilet.
So, anyway, Tom found one. Whenever I use the bathroom I practically feel like my feet are dangling off of the ground. But at least Tom's knees aren't up to his chin, as often reminds me.
Hemingstein- what are the toilets like in China? I've always been interested in what toilets/bathrooms are like in other countries. Are they different? Are they hoss?
"you women", posted 2 May 2006 by blvdgirl »
What I was referring to was the overall hossness of generalizations--you women, you men, you blacks, you whites, you kids, you Christians, you [insert stereotype], etc.... The implication of the statement, "you women and your wombs" was that all women whine/worry too much about their wombs, and, at least to me, the generalization seemed derogatory... Of course, I'm probably being hoss for being offended by something that was said glibly...the number one hoss toilet thing (in my opinion), posted 2 May 2006 by mercurymouth »
and this is so gross and hoss i hate to put it into words. but isn't it so hoss - girls, women, people who generally sit on toilets most of the time, etc. - that you HAVE to cautiously wipe and re-wipe the toilet seat because the person before you splashed all over the place? the hossest thing ever is when you forget to and you live to regret it. people who don't wipe up their messes are HOSS.another toilet one, posted 2 May 2006 by blvdgirl »

Cleaning litter boxes is so hoss. When we lived together, Heidi pretty much did it, all of the time, without my help. Now that I have to do it, I see how hoss it was of me to not help her out more! The clumping litter is great b/c it makes it easy to clean everyday, but you can't keep the same litter for a month (like they say)... it starts stinking after two weeks.Why can't cats be toilet-trained? Or dogs for that matter. Cleaning up the backyard and seeing the grass die a slow, yellowing death is hoss too!

of couple of times this spring, i've been out to the nature conservancy's nachusa grasslands preserve near dixon, illinois with tara as volunteers. we work for a few hours in the morning removing invasive species from the native tall grass prarie that the conservancy is trying to restore. it's what we did over memorial day weekend, and the target of the day was parsnip.parsnip is a eurasian plant, and the root is edible. most people hear "parsnip" and think "that thing that's kind of like a sweet white carrot" and they're right.... it's kind of like a sweet white carrot. however, i am not one of those people. from my experience last weekend, the word "parsnip" will forever invoke the words "chemical burn."
the parsnip root is indeed sweet, white, and edible, but the stem, which can grow rather high left in a wild field, is in fact poisonous. the stem and leaves contain a number of caustic chemicals which can strip the natural oils away from your skin and leave a pretty bad burn. it starts out looking a lot like a mild rug burn, and if you can't wash the chemicals off of your skin right away, they will be absorbed. about a day later, the first layer of skin dies and for the next couple of days shrivels away as the area reddens, but it is not infected. after that, the dead layer of skin flakes off like a scab to reveal very raw and sensitive live burnt skin which hurts to the touch. the raw flesh scabs over slowly with a lymph fluid scab which covers it as it continues to heal. when it is through, there will be a scar.
as i was pulling up parsnip at the nachusa grasslands using a spade and wearing my leather gardening gloves that only cover my hands up to the wrist, i must have accidently brushed a small patch of my exposed right wrist against the stem and leaves and not noticed. right now i am in the lymph scab healing phase.

Hoss, hoss, hoss. I hope Anna is feeling better. I got it once when I was ten and had to get cortizone shots and stuff... it was so hoss. Also, I'm alergic to that pink stuff (Calamine lotion- is that how you spell it?) so when they put it all over me I really had a hoss time of it. It's bad news.Employment, posted 4 Jun 2006 by Sadiegirl »

Are you sure the parsnip that burns is the same one that people eat? I think the one that reacts with the sun to give you chemical burns is NOT the cultivated variety (which one's taste I don't particularly care for either, so I will say both are hoss).Hoss is also knowing how much I hate S. Cal. because of the air pollution but also knowing it's the only place I have been in the States that has produce of a quality approaching the stuff I ate in Turkey.
LAX was fine for me Thursday afternoon. We'll see about my redeye Monday night.

...when the servers go down.The Dentist, posted 6 Jul 2006 by Sadiegirl »
Going to the dentist is SOOOOO hoss. Hyde and I both HATED it and we, for whatever reason, always had bad experiences at the dentist (from the age of 18+). We had a really hoss dentist who messed up a lot of dental work (especially on Hyde). And Hyde went to the dentist a few years ago and he ripped her off SO bad (looong story, but she had to call the Better Business Bureau and file a bunch of stuff b/c of his ethical practices). So, needless to say, when my husband insisted that I go to the dentist, I was NOT pleased.My trepidation turned out to be valid. I had 6 cavities (very small cavities actually), but the hossest thing of all is that I have to get one of my molars removed (the front molar!) and get an implant. That's what Heidi had to get done (exactly) with the hoss Chicago dentist, so I'm even more nervous about it now b/c her experience was so bad. And expensive.
This is Hoss. I'm going tomorrow to get three filled, next week to get the other three filled and then going to the oral surgeon for the implant and all of the other hoss stuff. :(

the dentist is one of the hossest places to ever go. i'm sorry, sarah! that sucks. i know i have to go too. something to hold onto is to realize that the dreading of it is usually a lot worse. i hope they don't remove the legendary doyle sweet tooth! hang in there.La La Land of Swamp Ass, posted 25 Jul 2006 by mercurymouth »

I agree, so, so hoss. It is global warming, it's scary. I can't believe how crazy hot it is, unseasonably, all over the place. I hate the humidity. I hate, hate, hate it. It's SO hoss. I miss those dry (hot, but dry) summers.you wanna know HOSS -, posted 9 Aug 2006 by mercurymouth »

I took a really good teaching opportunity that came my way the day before yesterday and I got an email from the school I was supposed to go back to (which is a terrible, disorganized and poorly run institution in the city).In the email (which was from my principal's boss)she wrote that I had "poor character" and that leaving the school to go to a much better one was rude since they were so nice to me when my sister died!!!!! (I took two months off to work on Hyde's funeral arrangements and be with my family)...
Should I should go back there and suffer for the rest of my career (or until that school shuts down, which will undoubtedly be sooner than that) since they were "so gracious by allowing me time off."????
What a psycho!
Is it just me, or is that as hoss as hoss gets? How unprofessional and inapprorpiate. I guess that's why myself and about ten other teachers chose not to return this year.
As mad as it made me, the email just made me feel bad and upset. How could you say that to someone? For taking a better career opportunity?

sadie, that's very hoss of them.i guess they're just upset because they need to look out for themselves just like you need to look out for yourself. way to go on taking the new job and congratulations on the move up.
[maybe if you wanted to be the bigger person you could write them a nice note saying how much you appreciate their generosity in your time of grief but that this year has been one of extreme personal change for you and you really feel it's best if you move on.]
or you could slash tires. no one would blame you for that either.

I had a pretty hoss strike last night.Tom and I were watching the Minnesota/Green Bay game and I said,
"If all of these players for Green Bay didn't suck, they wouldn't be too bad."
Isn't is weird how stupid, hoss stuff just flies out of your mouth sometimes?
