Three random facts:

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. I just ate waffles for lunch

2. today is my mom's b-day...and i have no idea what to get her...not to mention the fact i'm broke :) maybe i'll make her somethin!

3. My birthday is in 2 weeks...yay for me! :D

[Lorrell]

1 The boss sent me to the post office(again, with the certified mail!) and as I was coming out, I ran into my mother and she told me she is leaving for St. Petersburg, so I gave her a kiss and continued on. :D


2.I have to make an appointment to bring these clothes to an upscale consignment shop, so I think I will explore other options as to what to do with all these designer
duds from the girls down south, this is the stuff that didn't fit me and I wouldn't be caught dead in at a charity ball. <_<



3. I have 30 minutes to kill before the dreaded Doctor appointment and I'm feeling worse now. :unsure:

[chunkymonkey]

1. I don't like pie

2. I like the smell of gasoline

3. I haven't had a blood test in 9 years (and counting)

[Lorrell]

1. My doctor's office receptionist called me on my cell as I was in route to the office and informed me that the doctor was called to the hospital on an emergency, so my "dreaded" appointment will be postponed until 3:45 tomorrow. :D


2. When I went back to the office, I found a list from my boss's maid which listed in detail how she spent the six hours at his home. It goes like this:

Wednesday 8:30 am

Changed sheets and made up all beds.
Washed dishes, loaded dishwasher, cleaned and polished counter tops
Cleaned and polished stove and microwave
Comit (sic) clean sinks
Clean water cooler and ice machine
Made hard boiled eggs
Made Salads
Cleaned Master Bathroom (Comit, pin sol, windex)
Washed 3 loads of clothes, dried and folded, put away
Cleaned the guest bathroom
Swept and mopped kitchen and bathrooms
Vacumed all carpets
Dusted and polished all furniture
Ironed and Pressed (1 hour)
Made Salad Dressing
Left at 2:30 worked 6 hours

I suppose she wants to be paid tomorrow and I suspect that the boss is on a diet.

[Veelarage07]

1. I've just figured out how to use my CD burner!

2. The girls at the camp I work at have rediscovered the spice girls, and as a result I'm being tortured. That doesn't stop me from being nice, though. I have a nice cd here to play during camp... the spice girls included... *sigh*

3. I've had an ungodly urge to speak in an accent for the entire day. I couldn't, though. It's not allowed on days other than British Tuesday (made up holiday at my karate dojo).

1. Today I saw my very first sturgeon. That's a really big, prehistoric, endangered fish, for anyone that doesn't know. But these ones were just babies, so they were small.

2. I have downloaded and am compulsively playing "Covert Action", which no one else here has ever heard of.

3. Tomorrow is my day off and I have to cover my coworker Pete's ass while he drops his parents at the airport so we have a car this weekend. On the plus side, because I'm working, I get to go eat supper with the kids. So I don't really mind.

2. Have been told I do not look a day over 17. a HUGE pain when buying alcohol.

3. I had a runt-cat named Shmoo who lived to twelve with One eye and One fang.

Me too! Well, everything except Shmoo, that is (but i did have a cat named Chitzy). I used to have a total phobia about driving, and was too scared/freaked out to do it. About 6 months ago, I finally worked up the nerve to "just do it, dammit" and now i think it's fun. I'll be 24 in October, and when I get carded at bars, the bouncers/bartenders all think it's a fake id.


1. I HATE black pepper, and never use it on my food -- with ONE exception: I liberally sprinkle it on home-grown tomatoes. Which is one of my favorite foods. I like them sliced, with salt & pepper.

2. I cannot stand to sit on a chair if it is still warm from the previous occupant's body heat. It totally grosses me out.

3. I totally splurged 2 days ago, and bought myself a Badge-a-Minit button maker. I only talked myself into getting it by saying I would sell the buttons and earn back the amount that I spent on it. I can't wait to go home and start making 1 1/4-inchers!!

[kasey]

1. I woke up this morning and couldn't remember what i did last night and i didn't drink or anything. I must be getting old. I finally remembered after i had been at work for a couple of hours.

2. I glazed away in silent joy, muttering humble prayers to myself that all goes well with the glostfiring.


3. The fact that it now appears that I must retain an attitude of an elitist snob in order to adapt to the peer pressures and competition, not to mention preventing my kindness from being mistaken for weakness....I find it all annoying as hell!

[kittymao]

hee...

1. Kindness IS my weakness. I just adore being nice to people, and doing them favors.

2. I don't consider myself an Artist.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am a Canada snob, but only regarding things American. The phrase "sweet iced tea" is completely redundant to me.

2. My favorite bit of Canadian history is that moment in the War of 1812 where we burned down the Whitehouse. I don't remember much history... but the War of 1812 has a few entertaining parts.

3. Although I have travelled quite a bit worldwide, I have only really visited 4 of the 10 provinces (and no territories) in Canada.

[Lorrell]

3. Mr. Stagnation just discovered his nephew eloped to Siesta Key and got married, now the voice of discouragement is carrying on a commentary on Male/Female relationships, tit for tat, and the dangers of PMS, etc. It's so funny! :D

[Kelly]

2. I once dated a guy for two years that I met when he attempted to race me on the freeway.

3. Eight years later, I started dating my best friend's high school crush (as I had deemed him undatable in high school based on her crush on him) and eventually married him. Said best friend was Maid of Honor.

[hammerquill]

I hate the term boyfriend, it sounds really juvenile.
I haven't thought about it for a while but this always bothered me too (well, "girlfriend" bothered me more, since it was - ahem - the term I spent more time thinking about).

1. I just bought a huge pile of very ripe white peaches at the farmer's market for shockingly cheap. I'm going to make fresh peach sherbet tomorrow.

[Sirius]

My theme for today is my home...

1. I've lived in my house since December of 1999 and still haven't decided how to landscape the backyard. Well, I did decide once, but had 3 different contractors quote in the $10,000 range, so I tossed out that idea.

2. Two things sold me on this house - the L shaped "4th bedroom" which allowed us space for Brian and I to share one room as an office with two L-shaped desks, and the wall-in panty.

3. Literally, all of my flooring is beige (tile, carpet). Something I didn't want, but had to let Brian win one of the decisions in building the house. He's big on neutrals.

[Lorrell]

1. I have an awful sneezy, drippy, summer cold now, so I'm suffering. :( :)



2. I got tired of the phone calls today, from people who just don't know how to entertain themselves and are bored so they want to call me and tell me all about it, like I care?

3. I'm getting together with a friend to make bead and wire jewelry tonight and it occurs to me how isolated I've been with my artsy crafty stuff. With the exception of a gift wrapping techniqes workshop I once took, I haven't sat down and crafted with another person since middle school.

[stargal1998]

1. I have fallen in love with handmade envelopes...

2. I am fighting a migraine...

3. Though I've only had a real cell phone for about 17 days, I laughed at my parent's today when they got their first one and didn't understand how it worked... I've become a cell phone snob! :ph34r:

3 Today was a B---- of a day. Now I know we are in the Dog Days of summer for sure. :blink:

[Dalmaney]

1. I am completely and without reason depressed and homesick.
2. The knowledge that this is completely hormonal is, as usual, utterly useless.
3. It doesn't help that I'm completely jealous of my only coworker, because on his days off, he can go home and see all his friends, while on my days off... well, here I am, sitting in the res. I hate not having a car and being way too far away from everyone I care to spend time with. Sigh.

[chunkymonkey]

2: i had my first migraine in over two years yesterday... and was stuck in the city with three kids and no codeine!!! not a pleasant day, but on a lighter note, i feel 100% better this morning, though i wish my kids would sleep past 7 am just ONCE!!!

3: i don't like 'uncooked' cheese- i only like it melted on pizza, lasagna, nachos, etc... although after i gave birth to harrison, i craved it soooo badly- every time the 'snack cart' came through the maternity ward, they knew me enough to bring me a few piece of cheese and a juice... it was crazy, i couldn't get enough chees and i didn't even enjoy the taste... hormones i guess... :)

robyn

[Sirius]

2. It's a little after 8AM on my do nothing day and I've unloaded the dishwasher, cleaned the kitchen, did laundry, organized a closet and answered a letter.

[LaughAtlantis]

1. I have a tiny stuffed tiger that sits on my computer speaker that has no eyes. It's never had any eyes.

2. When I was a baby, I have a stuffed animal that had googly eyes on it. One day my mom noticed that the eyes were missing A day later, she was changing my diaper and there were two plastic eyes in there looking up at her.

3. I just found out I have some weird disfiguration of my cornea and have to get specialty contact lenses.

[Seusomon]

2. This Sunday I drove two hours to get to a meeting, only to discover that the meeting was on Saturday instead. I need a personal secretary.

3. Monday I received an envelope from a group I belong to, with nothing at all inside. I'm not the only one who needs a personal secretary.

Blessings, Tom

[Katiekat]

Seusomon, your post made me laugh. :P

1. Yay! I have 100 positive feedback points, and zero neutral or negative!

2. I love canned corn. I hate frozen corn. blech! (side note: i almost typed "freezed" corn. lol)

3. My boyfriend is moving into a new apartment, and i am so excited i can hardly wait. whoohoo!

[hammerquill]

1. I just found out the only people I'm friendly with in my little apartment building are moving out :( I'm happy for them - they've found a larger place, and need it with two small kids - but I'll miss them. I like the sound of their kids playing around outside, not to mention there's nothing like little kids who sort of know you saying hello to brighten your day.

2. I'm getting my neck x-rayed (or some sort of -rayed) tomorrow morning.

3. I really should have gone shopping this evening, but I didn't feel like it. Now I don't feel like cooking either.

Jeez this sounds depressed. It's not that bad a day. Okay, cheerier bonus fact:

4. Just started listening to Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake at work this afternoon, and have been amusing people by breaking into laughter at apparently random times because of it.

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. I have an ear infection...and it hurts really bad.

2. I have a doctors appointment at noon for my ear.

3. OUCH! :( i can't seem to think of anything else but my ear right now :(

[mejaka]

Bugitha! LOL--I'm exactly the same about the color pink. I really didn't like it for years, but over the last while I've decided I don't hate it, I like what it does for my coloring, and...well, Brett laughs at me every time I look at something pink because I was so anti-pink before...(I do own one peachy-pink dress, but other than that, nothing else). I guess I'm finally secure enough in my personal feminity to wear it...lol...

Rustell...I'm sure you meant "walk-in pantry," not "wall-in panty..." though the second does provide an interesting mental-imagery challenge.

PleasantOne, I don't know where your training lies, but most adult care centers around here are desperate for staff. I suspect that's normal, too. If you dreamjob is to be activities director, I bet there's a care center that is praying for a miracle like you. Call some, tell them what interests you, and ask them what kind of training/skills they would want you to have; then go about getting them.

You get six because I haven't been around lately. What I did yesterday:

1. Went huckleberrying for the first time, and made huckleberry pancakes.

2. Saw a moose, which trotted just ahead of my friend's car (just ahead of me) for about two minutes as we drove up the mountain toward the berry zone.

3. Spent a half hour at a small cove on the lake filled with thousands and thousands of blooming water lilies, just being amazed.

4. Burned my feet so bad on the sand at the college beach that it hurts to walk today.

5. Had a great job interview until the interviewer said the wage was only $5.75/hour. Decided later it would work out anyway (there are some serious positive things, like being able to take Miss Anna to work, and the hours being inside school hours, and getting a free club membership)...but now I'm afraid that my ambivalence about the wage showed during the interview and will my status as a prospect.

6. Tonight we're making huckleberry ice cream.

[Lorrell]

1 I'm still having a problem with trying to adjust to the fact that everything good, honest and real in this country is being destroyed by the forces of paranoia, greed, and corruption.


2 I have to stop and really look around to find beauty, it's not as though it's there for the asking anymore.

3. :ph34r: I wish I was involved in a good old fashioned love affair, where everyone knew how to behave and what was expected of them.


It's you and me and the telephone......ha! :ph34r:

[hammerquill]

I'm still having a problem with trying to adjust to the fact that everything good, honest and real in this country is being destroyed by the forces of paranoia, greed, and corruption. Which country? Not that it matters - we're making the last few corners of the world safe for paranoia, greed, and corruption just now. Ah, the joys of the shrinking global village: equal opportunity decadence (in the original sense of the word).

One sweeping cynical opinion, now three facts:

um.

:unsure: ...if I can think of some

okay, 1. I should get off the net and turn off the music and get down to some writing. I was feeling inspiredish earlier, and may already have frittered that away. tsk.

2. Of course, if I do the first two I'm as likely to turn on my book on tape and work on some complicated ATCs. Which also need doing.

3. I have to decide if I'm going to work all weekend to try to finish a wallpiece, so I'll have something of my own design to show at the craft fair next week. I don't know if I'll have the energy.

[Bugitha]

Went huckleberrying for the first time, and made huckleberry pancakes.


I don't believe I've ever tasted a huckleberry. hmm. What are they like?

1. At the end of the August, I will be moved to swing shift at my job. I've never worked swing shift before and wonder if I'll like it. I'd like to think I'll be able to get ever so much done in the late mornings/early afternoon but fear I'll really wind up sleeping the day away.

2. Bluebirds remind me of my mother.

3. I'm a sucker for happy endings.

[Katiekat]

1. I am very disgusted and pissed off by Dumbass Dubya's refusal to back gay marriages. :angry: Fuckin ignorant closeminded son-of-a-bitch.

2. I just finished the book "Babyville" by Jane Green (very good). It is my first involvement with a BookCrossing book.

3. I want mashed sweet potatoes right now.

1. It's the long weekend, and I don't get to do anything special because all my kids are trying to write 25 page essays and so we don't have much time or ambition.

2. But in ten days I'll go home, be happily unemployed, and free to amuse myself however I choose.

3. I want a freezie.

2. There's nobody posting or so it seems and it's making me rather bored.

3. My parents have friends over downstairs and I'm getting a headache from this one woman's laugh. They're in the basement. I'm upstairs in my room. With the door closed. And I can still hear her. Wow.

1. I am very disgusted and pissed off by Dumbass Dubya's refusal to back gay marriages. :angry: Fuckin ignorant closeminded son-of-a-bitch.

I agree KatieKat! The gay and Lesbian community here in my city, are going around asking people to sign petitions and sending faxes to the government in rebuttal. So i did my part to try and help out! B)

1. I don't think I've ever downed so many pain killers in one day in my life...and they still aren't working completely for my ear...however...i did manage to get a lil nap :)

2. I'm getting tired of my job...the person who makes my schedule never looks at the hiring log when she does it...so i end up getting scheduled on my comtracted days off...then i'm stuck complaining until she changes it!

3. I managed to eat a lil fried rice today w/o my ear hurting too much! :D

4. I can't wait for this ear infection to go away! Hoping it's gone by thursday for my b-day...don't really wanna be in pain that day :D :blink:

[Lalouise]

1. This is my first post on here and I'm hoping it's acceptable.

2. I ate 2 pieces of Coconut Meringue pie today

3. I found a prescription from my dr that I never filled from 5/1/00 today. Guess I didn't need it that bad!!

[mejaka]

Huckleberries: small wild blueberries found in the northwestern US. Like blueberries only not as sweet--more tart.

1. Went fishing for our date tonight (I'm involved in a sweet old-fashioned love affair...we're also married :) ). Caught nothing but little sunfish. Was lovely on the lake in the canoe, though.

2. Tomorrow we're putting up an old-fashioned clothesline.

3. I'm trying to grow my hair out. The front is finally long enough to French braid. It's making the process more tolerable, when I have time to braid it.

[Bugitha]

1. Today was grey and rainy and 30 degrees cooler than it was two days ago. My ideal weather! Feels like fall.

2. I wish I had a tree right outside of my window. It occurs to me I haven't had a tree right outside since I was a little girl. I share a yard with my neighbors, and we have concord grape vines, but no trees.

3. I'm going to try making concord grape jelly this year with those grapes growing out back.

[hammerquill]

1. About ten minutes ago, there was an explosion and all the lights went out, including the street lights, so it was perfectly dark as it rarely is in these parts. And the computer, of course - I was watching a DVD at the time. The sound of the explosion reached me after the lights went down - not much after, but your mind runs fast at times like that. The explosion set off a car alarm somewhere, too. And the dogs started barking

2. The lights came up again maybe 15 seconds later. It must have been a transformer a couple blocks away.

3. I've had my adrenaline dose for the day...

Cool. One fact spread into three.

[glitterfly]

(1) I'm quite tired and am considering going to bed.

(2) I said that about an hour ago too.

(3) And yet I'm still browsing the forums.

Sad, really.

[nymphette]

hmm... what's new today...

1: i am going to the museum of natural history tomorrow for a 65,000,0017th birthday party for 'megamunch', the dinosaur...

2: the guy who taught me to juggle years ago is the entertainment... i think i will relearn!!!

3: i am eating pink grapefruit jelly beans right now... yummy....

[Lorrell]

1. Last night I came close to accidently killing myself. I was polishing my rocker and accidently spilled some furniture oil on the white ceramic tile floor, then I stepped in it and slipped, landing hard on my ribs. Now they are very sore but there is no way I am going to the creepy hospital they have in this town. I think I will be OK, I just need to slow down. This cold hard ceramic tile floor will be the death of me, yet. It's already murdered many a dish, glass, teapot, etc. and it's cold on my barefeet. :(


2. I have a nice bruise on my left thigh where the car hit me as it drove off. This
has been a crappy week and I get the feeling of doom everytime I go somewhere. <_<


3.Even though I have about a jillion things going on I feel like I should stay in bed for maybe a week until this catastrophe phase passes on. I managed to locate all the quilting materials, patterns, blocks that I'll need for this class tomorrow. Goodnight cruel World! Hope the coming week is better than this one. Yuck!

[Brashbroad]

1. Am at work just now where I have no control of the radio. That song "Somewhere out there" is on the radio... Ack, It's horrible. Liza Minnelli sings it (not this version) and I still hate it. I do love Liza Minnelli tho'

2. I've been writing a novel for two years. It's about a famous cello player. I think it might take me another 2.

3. I got a new car today. It's green.

Dixie

[kittymao]

Hee.

1. Baseball bores me. I'll go to a game- just to people watch.

2. The cat just got out. after 20 minutes of searching, my parents were about to give up, until I walked outside, called him calmly and he simply trotted out of his hiding place.

3. We had steak for dinner. Sorry to all you vegeterians, but MEAT is one of my favorite foods.

[Dalmaney]

1. Today I and my coworker Pete made stuffed chicken breasts for supper and fed 18 people. It was the best chicken I've had in ages, all full of cheese and green onion and red pepper and mushrooms... mmmm.

2. I just skinnydipped for the very first time in my whole life.

3. My being there made it a DRSA-legal event, because they were then out with a supervisor. I find that pretty darn funny.

[Seusomon]

1. To celebrate Lughnasadh, my daughter and I baked whole wheat bread in the shape of stalks of wheat. We bought lots of different stuff at the farmers market (peppers, apples, okra, eggplant, onion) and made a feast!

2. I bought a book about mandalas, and it is inspiring me to do something, but I don't know what exactly.

3. It's fun living downtown. A took a walk yesterday and ran into two different sets of friends in the course of about 5 minutes!

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. I think my ear infection is worse than my doctor thinks it is....it's been almost a week...and still isn't any better! :(

2. I tried making a doctors appointment for today...but they said the only thing available was on wednesday....i asked what to do about the pain....she refused to call in a prescription...and said if i needed to go to the emergency room, then i should go ahead and go to the ER and still keep my doctors appointment...i think they just want my money! :angry:

3. On a happier thought...i think the handful of pills i took are finally helpin the pain to dull so i should be able to get a couple hours of sleep tonight! yay for sleep! :D lol :blink:

[LaughAtlantis]

1. I'm tired. I've been beta testing an online game this week and it's so good it's obsessive. As a result, not nearly enough sleep.

2. While I have been playing, I have been ignoring a lot of things - most importantly, the fact that I am getting married in (gulp) 61 days. I need to finish making my invitations and sending the darn things out.

3. I should be working now but I'm wandering the nervousness forums. Sheesh. I'm all about procrastiantion and avoidance, huh?

[FearfulPenguin]

Oooh, I'll have another go at this!

1) I hate flood control. I whizz arounf the forums too fast and end up having to wait for what feel likes ages (even though it is only 30 seconds!!) before I can post anything.

2) When online, I can do many many things at once and not get too confused. Offline, I find it really difficult. My mum is the opposite.

3) I am dreading work tomorrow because I get too hot there even on days which aren't warm, and lately it has been very humid and close. We don't have AC.

[crazycatlady]

1. A priest* taught me how to slow dance
2. I almost got expelled from college for attending a protest rally (& being a communist)**
3. I always said that I was going to die alone, w/ lots of cats… now I’m living with a guy and my three cats plus his two cats…

*Episcopalian. It was about 2 years ago. I’m a VERY late bloomer (I’ll be 38 on Friday)
**Baptist college. I attended a protest rally in DC (multi-partisan & massive… but the local media only mentioned the itty bitty communist rally on the other side of town). Met David Dellinger (Chicago 7) and the poster I carried is hanging in my hall***. Our group made Time magazine…I like to pretend that the blue-sweatered elbow in the picture is mine.

***oooh, an idea for an ATC just popped into my head

[Dalmaney]

1. The only thing I really want to do today is work on the yearbook for the camp I'm at, but I can't because the computer I need is occupied by panicky kids printing hugely long reports. So I've written today off as a loss and plan to work superhard for the next few days.

2. I just stuck up a poster to get submissions to my "Things I Learned at Science Camp That Have Nothing To Do With Science" section of the yearbook. Things I know people have learned include: how to read the care symbols on clothes tags, what berries are edible in Manitoba, the freedom of swimming naked, and the folly of throwing your underwear when you have nothing else to wear when you get out of the lake.

3. Despite the daily frustrations, this is the best summer job ever.

[Katiekat]

1. August is International Gay Square Dance Month! Are there a lot of Gay Square Dancers out there?

2. My co-worker's desk is such a mess that I can hardly stand it. I also saw that he has kept every single email that he's ever gotten. How can he stand that?!?

3. I have a picture of a smiley chimpanzee on my desk. :)

[sistasmell]

It's been a long time, but here goes.

1. I have a picture of a dead chimpanzee (it looks freeze dried) hanging on the wall behind my desk.
2. I don't remember a summer where I've used the A/C more than this one. It IS the humidity, not so much the heat.
3. I am almost finished knitting a black wool sweater/cycling jersey with skulls on it for my hubby. I want it to get cold out so he can wear it! I'm on the last sleeve!

[glitterfly]

Well, let's see. I might as well post in here cuz I'm bored. And feel like posting. Yes.

1) My hair is an absolute mess right now.

2) I'm too lazy to go do anything besides sit here at my compooter.

3) I think my mom is getting mad that I'm too lazy to do anything besides sit here at my compooter. Eeek.

Heh. 1 and 2 are the same for me too! We could start a club or something!! *grin*

1) I am in a very strange mood. i think I am going to look back at my posts tomorrow and wonder what I have been taking.

2) I managed to get to number one in today's top ten posters! I am proud of this fact.

3) My boyfriend is downstairs doing something to do with research into bladder cancer. He is doing it for his PhD.

[kasey]

1. August is International Gay Square Dance Month! Are there a lot of Gay Square Dancers out there?
hehe I am not sure, but I know a lot of gay cloggers?

1. My black pen exploded all over my kahki pants. Shit and I have a meeting soon. i look real proffessional

2. My sister just moved to the town I live in. YAY. I dunno, I am just excited about that

3. I just saw Muriels Wedding. What a kickass movie!

[cdonley]

1. I think I might be addicted to Nervousness (raise your hand if you feel the same way!) :D

2. I just tried to dye my hair blond again after a few years as a brunette - but my hair looks more orange than blond. -oops

3. I love typing, playing with spreadsheets, and pretty much any job associated with being a secretary - weird. (PS - I'm not a secretary now!)

[Lorrell]

1. I was supposed to see my doctor today, but he was called away on an emergency (AGAIN!) and so they reschedualed me. This would have been a total waste of time, except for my sweetie was with me so we went out together ( much better therapy, Amen!) It reminds me of that old Stone's song, about...You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you get what you need.


2. I feel sorry for VeronicasLovebug. I have been reading about that experience with the doctors and the EAR INFECTION....I've had swimmer's ear infections myself and have tried pouring just about everything in them to get rid of the pain. It is the worse, my codolences.....NOW WHEN I SWIM AND PUT MY HEAD UNDER, I WEAR PLUGS IN THE EAT AND A CAP THAT COVERS THEM. AND PUT DROPS OF RUB ALCOHOL.....although a friend of mine uses whiskey..drops and has never had a problem. I have lost all respect for doctors....the medical profession (HA!)
What in the hell happened to the Hippocratic Oath! etc. Blah!


3. A waitress was rude to me tonight and gave poor service so I declined to leave a tip and several people agreed with me, that I did the right thing. The food was so poor, my boyfriend is in the bathroom retching like a dog. It's so sad. I don't think I will ever go out and eat in a restaurant again. Yea gads, it sounds awful.

I know here in Kansas City, they have a Gay Square Dance Troupe called the Show Me Squares....they danced along during the gay pride parade back in June.

And yes Lorrell....this ear infection seems to be one of the most painful things i've had to deal w/....i totalled my car last year in july...and my injuries from that weren't even this painful. I'm going to the doctor again in about 7 hours(which reminds me i need to get some sleep!) and i'm hoping they can give me some better antibiotics...and possibly some VERY strong pain killers...then maybe i'll actually be able to get a good amount of sleep too! :D

now for my 3 facts...

1. My b-day is in one day! yay for me! :D

2. I'm attempting to get caught up on all my nervousness stuff since i've been out of it the past week! :blink:

3. I'm not as artistic as i wish i could be...however i'm pretty handy w/ the paint program on my computer! lol :D

[stargal1998]

1. My nose is a little stuffed up on this foggy day.

2. I will be working overtime tonight, probably until 9 or so, in order to get a website up and running.

3. My boyfriend is taking his first plane ride tomorrow--to Newark, NJ where he will commute to NYC for the next week for a trade show for work. I hope, despite the fact he'll be packing for a long time, that he'll pickup some General Tso's Chicken for me to eat when I get home really late... Of course, we live across the street from work, so he could just drop it off.

[Glait]

1. There are 16 days left before I go back to school.

2. I'm all alone in the office while everyone is in a meeting, I'm in charge of answering the phone and I have no idea what to do if I have to get up and leave, say to go to the bathroom.

3. I plan working with a dead bird when I get home, so that I can get the bones :P

[Aldeberyn]

This sounds like fun!
1. I'm a flower child in the Army.
2. My pets are 2 leopard geckos, a boa constrictor, a ball python, and a madagascar giant day gecko (or the one you see in the Geiko commercials).
3. My dream job is delivering RVs.

2. Three people still owe me money for the hooded sweatshirt deal I'm brokering.

2) my room needs both cleaning, and cleaning out.

4) my cat's a bastard.

5) i forgot what else i was going to say.

6) i know it's been done, but I want to get a cat and name it "mouse".

[stargal1998]

1. I used to have 2 goldfish--goldie and fishie. I got them when I was 5, and they lived until I was 13 and 19 (I had moved out of state, so they lived with my grandma), respectively. We knew they were old when their tales started falling off. Fishie got to be really big and he would swim up to the top of the tank to splash my grandmama's cats who liked to perch on the top of the tank.

2. I used to dress up my 2 small lizards in tissues.. One was the pope and the other was a nun... I'm not sure if they liked it or not.

3. When we moved out of state my mom and I gave our 2 kitties Figaro and Fluff (Figaro's mean daughter) to my aunt. She and her boyfriend were driving out to their home in the mountains and the cats went psycho. They had to stop on the side of the road and run out of the car. After about an hour, my aunt says the cats left the car, hopping off into the sunset... I always figured they'd mated with bobcats and led long happy lives with their new wild kittens.

**and one disturbing fact**
4. Figaro had a litter of kittens, mated with one of her sons, and had Fluff. Then Fluff got with one of her brothers and had a litter of her own; we had about 20 cats running around our house at the time. Most of the cats got homes, but I think there were a few that didn't survive an hour past birth. My mom said they had six or seven pads on their feet... That's why I'm glad I only have one Max kitty right now.. :-)

[Lorrell]

1. My boss gave me a new cell phone today to replace the one stolen from me. :D
What a great guy and this one is even better than what I had!

2. I'm having a peach for lunch. It's so good. :D Perfectly ripe and really juicy!


3 Happy Birthday to VeronicasLovebug. Wishing you many more years and healthy ears! :D

[Dalmaney]

1. I am growing happily close to being done the yearbook. Yay! I have mastered Pagemaker to a simple degree, but one good enough to turn out the product.

2. I am skipping the oral presentations of my science kids right now. It's hot. I don't really care that much. I've done a ton of things today. Maybe I'll go to the next one...

3. I once had guppies named Titania and Oberon, and they had a ton of little baby guppies. I like guppies.

[kittymao]

ee! barn stuff!

1) a goat had babies! yaay! She had them last monday and they're so fluffy! I love behbey goats. They had to go to the vet yesterday becuase they looked weak, but that was Mama being tired after laboring 3 kids. they are all better now and mama is doing VERY WELL, for herself and the babies.

2) we just got a baby turkey! I love birds, more than goats! His name is Gobbles, and he's a rust bourbon, meaning he'll be a rosy grey-tan color. Hes only four weeks, but he's learned to perch on my shoulder already and hasn't pooped on me yet! i adore Gobbles, and to know that this small birdy will be a TURKEY and LOVE ME just makes me all mooshy.

3) We also have two behbey chickens- half silkie, half bantam. which is weird becuase the bantam mother is half the size of the Silkie dad. The babies have five toes on each foot! Now this is abnormal- chickens only have four, excluding spurs. But one baby has threeforward- twoback, and the other has threeforward and the twoback are welded into one massive toe! The papa has 5 toes, and spurs.
very weird.

4) Our sheep Harry can open his pin-lock gate. Not good.

[girlapaloo]

1. i just bought a playstation2, but only to watch dvd movies.

2. i make clothes for a headshop, mostly hippie girl shirts.

3. i just learned that tofu and other soy related products inhibit your body's ability to break down protein. don't eat it! it's high in protein itself, but it actually starves ya. i only say so, cause i care.

love and light,
mary :)

Thanks lorrell! beena great b-day so far...and my ear isn't hurting near as much as it has been the past week! haven't had to take any pain meds today!

1. I keep forgetting to take my antibiotics today for some reason....i forget when i'm home...but remember when i'm back in the car going somewhere!

2. A knock on the door woke me up this morning...and a man placed a vase w/ a dozen roses in my hands...i opened the card and read it, and my heart started to melt...hehe...my g/f is too sweet to me! :D :wub:

3. This so far has been the best birthday that i've had in years! yay for me! hehe :D

2. my mail going missing makes me sad.

[Bugitha]

[CODE]My first pet cat was named "Dog".

[QUOTE]

I've had a rabbit named "Piggy" a dog named "Lion" and a cat named "Bear." My cat right now is named "Junebug"--a bit of a theme naming one animal after another.

1. I always teach my animals to come to their names, never the generic "here Kityy kitty!

2. I spent 90 minutes defrosting my freezer and cleaning the fridge tonight. I dream of frostless freezers and self cleaning ovens instead of appliances that are 20 years old.

3. I wish I had a treehouse.

[Lorrell]

1 Mr. Stagnation thinks he's turning into James Bond. No, wait a minute, I take that back, more like Steve McQueen in "Hunter" or "Bullet" I feel a pressure building up in him to do some detective work on the theft of my cell phone, perhaps because he feels the police are not doing enough to solve the case and he wants me too have revenge, restitution, and all the other spoils of war, he believes a victim deserves, some sort of "Big Get Even" I would prefer to just let it go.... :blink:


2. I was in the pool at 8:00 am this morning, and swam and swam and swam and then we did some water areobics and then swam some more laps. Then I went into the steam room for about 30 minutes, the hot tub about 30 minutes, the sauna, etc. Now, I'm at work, looking at a huge pile of paperwork, correspondences etc. but I'm so blissed out I'll be done by 5:00pm in time to swim some more. :D

3. I have to make arrangements for my bosses party next Tuesday. It's going to be a formal cocktail party and I've got to get with the caterer, piano tuner/player,etc. B)

[lobstergirl]

i'm online! woo-hoo!

1. i'm listening to "women of Istanbul" right now. it's really cool and the songs are from the 30's & 40's.

2. i'm making the coolest stuff toy for an lmao and i think i need to keep it instead...it's "Sigmund the Seamonster"!

3. i'm worried about my grandma. she;s in a rehab center for the elderly and she needs to leave but i can't get her insurance to qualify her and so she's completely penniless and homeless and i don't know what to do. :(

[Dalmaney]

1. Today is grad at the Deep River Science Acadamy, so I have to start saying goodbye to my kids. *sniff*

2. My catchphrases for the summer: "Go to bed." "You lazy bastards." and "Good job, you!".

3. My coworker Pete's catchphrases for the summer:"MONEY!" "WhatEVer!" "Damn you Scuba Steve!"

[Lorrell]

1 I am home at last! What a day! I never made it back to the pool because the weather turned nasty.


2 I picked a huge bouquet of Zinnias from my garden and the colors are just amazingly vivid, so tonight I will work on my palette from them. The colors range from a bold red, to magenta pink, and several different shades of orange. Last summer I had green Zinnias but they didn't show this year.


3. My new cell phone has a whole bunch of different ringers on it. Even Debussey's Arabesque, Mozart, Birds chirping, It's just wild compared to my old one..I'll have to study the manual because I'm only aware of half of it's capablities, it accepts downloads and you can connect to the web, voicemails, e-mails, etc. etc. Guess I will still have to make my own coffee in the morning. LOL :rolleyes:

[ninerfan_11]

1. I went white water rafting this past week.

2. I had pizza for dinner today.

3. I'm in the middle of watching "Zoolander" right now.

[Bugitha]

1. Last night I dreamt I walked into a Cost Plus World Market store and who should be working there but ninerfan11 and hammerquill! This is the second the time I've dreamt of nervous people. In the first dream I dreamt I met eenie and justsu.

2. I've never actually met a nervous person in real life, but I did go see the art show of a nervous person (Beeks) who lives in my city.

3. I think its amusing that I dream about nervousness.

[Dalmaney]

1. I just went to breakfast for the last time with three of my "kids". I'm going to miss them so much!

2. My cosupervisor Pete got a 24 of beer last night and split it with the students. What an ass. It never even occurs to him that alcohol could (and did) make some people uncomfortable and have LESS fun. I was asleep, though, so I'll have to tell him off retroactively later.

3. I want to go home to my bed and my iMac and my plants and my bathtub and my friends who are really my friends, and not just people stuck in the same stupid town with me ,and respect my opinions and beliefs, and are fun to be around. I just want to go home.

[Lorrell]

1. I laid in bed all morning until Mr. Stagnation came and beat on my door. I hollered to him to "Go To Hell!" and he replied, "I'm on my way to work so there's not much difference, your right as usual, I'm going there! LOL :D Our relationship is based on humorous facts like this. We had a little brunch together, show and tell about cell phones, etc. Once I get him centered and focused it's not too bad. He worries too much about problems that everyone has, but for some reason thinks he is the only one who isn't sitting on a throne in this world.


2. Saw one of my swim buddies as we left the cafe. She looked up at the sky, told me hi and we both knew it was going to be raining, raining, raining,,,,NO SWIMS TODAY..... :(


3. I'm reading a biography of Aldous Huxley, author of "Brave New World" and I'm surprised to discover he was immensely tall - Six Feet, 4 1/2 inches.

[FearfulPenguin]

1. I couldn't sleep last night because of my noisy neighbourhood. I had the choice of either windows open and too noisy, or windows closed and too hot.

2. I had to get up at 7 (having had only a few hours sleep) and go to work, 9 - 5.30. I was on my feet all day. I am knackered.

3. I have to work tomorrow too.

[fAiRyDuSt4u7]

This is really fun! i really didn't think anyone would do this. they are quite interesting to read:

1. i collect all the aol cds, i have over a 1000 right now, because one day i want to have a room (like a closet) covered in cds. or it doesn't matter whatever i use them for they are fun to collect :)

2. i love going to home depot because of the smell, (i love the smell of wood and sawdust) :rolleyes:

3. i will play the sims for three days in a row and then be dragged out of my room by my mother because i won't eat or do anything else. not even sleep. (during the summer i get really into it) :blink:

[nymphette]

1: i went on a tour of 'government house' today... it was pretty cool- i am jealous how other people (get to or got to) live... it is where the lieutenant gov. used to live i think... i was trying to pay attention but was chasing athree year old around... who was quite surprisingly well behaved all things considered... especially compared to his 8 year old cousin...

2: i went to the r.c.m.p. museum today too... it was interesting but a little too 'heritage' for me... i liked the guns though... ;)

3: i am very hungry now and realized typing in another discussion that i haven't eaten anything today!!!

robyn

[hammerquill]

1. Prayers are answered! They make spearmint Altoids now!

2. Even subconscious prayers: they have ginger, too.

3. I didn't get enough sleep last night. (maybe you could tell...)

[Lorrell]

1. One of my cool international mail buddies sent me the sweetest E-mail postcard this morning, complete with get well wishes in regards to my fall on the floor and almost cracking my ribs and splitting my liver, around a week ago. etc. and cell phone theft. I am so thankful that "catastophe phase" or whatever it was, has ceased. :)



2. I got a phone call from an old lover of mine this afternoon out of the blue. He misses me and wants me very much. There is a distance (not much, maybe 30 miles) between us.
It's just the amount of travel time to contemplate all the reasons I would still be in love with him and remember all the reasons I am not. He tells me how he almost got married, until he discovered she was into drugs.He told me he has a new and much nicer house, now. I told him he should stay single, (after all, THAT IS HOW HE SWORE TO ME HE WAS GOING TO REMAIN..at one time....sigh!) He seems oblivious to the fact that my thought pattern is probably going "Why not me?" That was then and this is now, <_< Guess I wasn't good enough then. Now, Ah ha ha ha!


3. I'm cooking up some veggie stew with herbs in my slow cooker crock and the house smells delicious. :D

[Bugitha]

1. I estimate that I eat about 150 bananas per year.

2. Someone I barely know at work, whom I have had maybe two 3-minute conversations with -ever- asked me to help her move. I'm reminded of that old Seinfeld episode when Keith Hernandez asks Jerry to help him move and Jerry accuses him of "level-jumping" on their friendship. (I don't watch too much t.v. or anything, oh no. :rolleyes: )

3. I have only ridden a horse twice in my life--both times I was a child and both times I was terrified. I think I'd like to try it again sometime--though I still expect I'll be terrified at first.

[ericsbehbeh999]

1. My boyfriend is spending the night at his best friends house tonight, tomorrow morning them and some friends are going to Kings Island (an amusement park). Right now is the time that me and my boyfriend usually talk on the interent untill we fall asleep. I don't know what to do with myself now! yeesshhhh

2. My birthday is coming up pretty soon! A couple of weeks! I am trying to convince my boyfriend to get me a kitten. I think he's going to do it :D I already have a cat but she is not very sociable, I'm willing to take my chances and hopefully I'll end up with a more friendly pet.

3. All of my friends are having their boyfriends or girlfriends stay the night at their houses! (We are all teenagers! From 15-17 years old!) Let me run down the list for you, my best friend had her boyfriend stay the night tonight, my boyfriends best friend had his girlfriend stay the night tonight, my boyfriends little sister, who I am friends with, stayed the night at her boyfriends house! ARGHHH NOT FAIR! I find it funny that my boyfriends sister is allowed to do this, but not him. Do you see something wrong with this picture?? I sure do!


Yes that was a lot about my boyfriend, but I'm missing him right now!! :(

[Qwerty]

1. I dreamt that the 97th floor was in the basement last night.

2. my kitty is such a diva.

3. the ramones song (I'm pretty sure it's the ramones) on the radio right now rules, but I have no idea what it is. It sounds like they keep saying "you don't go floss" but....I'm pretty sure that's not it though.

[stargal1998]

1. I'm watching "Spirited Away" and I absolutely adore it.

2. My little brothers came up this weekend and they went to a movie theater with stadium seating for the first time, we saw "Pirates of the Carribean." That movie was also great.

3. I want to watch "Girl" right now, but I cannot find my tape. No one around here has it on DVD and I feel like its going on my "Buy this for me for an occasion" list that I give to family. Of course, that meand that I won't be able to buy it if I see it. :-(

[Lorrell]

1. It has rained here all day. If I keep the curtains pulled and make a pot of tea, I can pretend I'm living in London or maybe Seattle.


2. I hope it's not raining in the AM, I need to swim before I do anything.



3. Just thinking of all the preparations I have to make in the next few days is making me exhausted, if I were to make a list, I'd probably drop dead just looking at it. :rolleyes:

[AlienSpy]

1. My mom is spending 2 weeks in Belgium. She'll also visit The Nertherlands.

2. In exactly 2 weeks I'll be in Virginia Beach, VA!

3. I wish I wasn't stuck in Quebec, Canada right now <_<

[hammerquill]

1. I'm getting way too involved with a couple of ATCs I'm making. They're taking far too long.

2. I just got through what's usually the longest, hardest workday of the year: last day of the San Francisco show, teardown and putting away the booth.

3. I should be going over my cover letter for a job application to send out tomorrow, but I'm too tired.

[kittymao]

I love flea markets. I got stickers, watercolor pencils and cd-r's. For 14 dollars. Massive rocking-on ensued.

But- in a semi serious fight with my BF ( in which he forced me to smell his shoe) i busted my fave glasses. The ones that make me look all punk-mod-cute like a she-diego rivers.

we made beef jerky. ish tasty.

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. On the weekends i help my mom run her shop at a flea market :D

2. Less than 2 months and I will be in New Jersey w/ my girl :D hehe yay!

[Seusomon]

1. Full Moon in Aquarius tonight.

2. I'm traveling to Washington state next week.

3. I'm starting to make a garden at my new house - very satisfying feeling!

[Bugitha]

1. I was at my local indie bookstore today where they feature handmade greeting cards by local and not-so-local artists and someone had a whole line of cards with tiny pebbles glued onto them in simple arrangements. "Doh! I coulda done that!" I just hate it when someone gets to my idea before me.

2. I quit my steady, low-paying job to take a higher paying who-knows-if-it-will-ever-go-permanent temp job. Time will tell as to the wisdom of this move.

3. Tonight my hair is up in a ponytail off to the side like I wore in the eighties. Now, where are my shoulder pads?

[nymphette]

1: my best friend's wedding is in 11 days and i dont' have her gift made, my dress altered, my hair style decided on.... <sigh> too many 'duties' as the matron (ICK!!! i HATE that word!!) of honor...

2: i just found a burnt cd i made a couple years ago with all my favorite songs from the alte 80's and 90/91... hurrah for the fat boys!!!

3: i am LOL at the thought of the side pony tail and shoulderpads!!! i believe my best friend has a grad ten school picture of just that!!! heh heh!!!

robyn

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. I think it's going to rain today...which makes me happy, cause there will be hardly any guests at work tonight! :D everyone will be at home instead of at the amusement park! :blink:

2. I'm starving...but there is nothing to eat in my house :( (or should i say...nothing that i don't have to cook...feelin lazy :blink: )

3. I need to find a good way to dry my flowers out so they'll stay pretty(some of them have started getting dark spots on em :angry:) any ideas?

[nymphette]

veronicaslovebug-
i just hang them with a piece of thread around the bottom of the stems... tie them and hang them upside down on a coat hanger... that way the stems dont' bend over when they dry too... works for me... and any that fall apart, save the petals for potpourri!!!

1: it is 40 degrees with humidex here.... i hate sask.. it is never just 29 degrees... it is 29 degrees, with a humidex of 40... or 30 below, with a windchill of minus 52.... blah!!! anyhow, it is terrible!!! humid, hot and icky.. it was only 23 when i left this morning and it felt like 33 already!!!!!!!!!!!!! at 10 am!!!

2: my son is yelling at me to 'dot do'.... i have NO CLUE what he is saying, and i am usually his translator for everyone else!!!!!!!!!

robyn

[kittymao]

i just finished the Alice Art Doll project. A month ahead of its due date. go me.

I went to bed at 4 last night, er, this morning... and NEED to be in bed now. and am not. *grins*

[PleasantOne]

I've already started listening to Christmas music...

I am feeling very unmotivated and uninspired lately... creative block <_<

I have the songs from the new Veggie Tales DVD stuck in my head... When life hands you a lemon, just haaave sooome mooore roooot beeeeeeeer :lol:

Now I totally want a stuffed armadillo animal!

1. My little brother (12 yrs. old) has only grown 1 inch in 2 years according to the doctor. He's getting a huge blood test today to see if he has a growth hormone deficiency.

2. The dog got sick in the house last night/this morning. I guess I'll be cleaning house on my lunch break and after work.

3. I'm working on a few atcs and some journals I'll be sending.. these will be welcome respites from cleaning! I think Nervousness is the only thing keeping me sane!

[Lorrell]

1. The past two days I've spent whizzing around so much, the party was a huge success! My boss was extremely pleased, he's leaving for Chicago tomorrow and will be gone for at least a week. :D


2. It is supposed to rain tomorrow, but today was simply gorgeous, and the weather was terrific yesterday. B)


3. My house looks like it's been ransacked because I have been dashing in and about so much, if a burglar walked in, he'd probably walk right out in disgust, because nothing is where you'd expect to find it. :blink:

[hammerquill]

1. The chem teacher at my high school - Rob - had a stuffed armadillo - Bob - on his desk. He (Rob) was from Lubbock, Texas, and got a lot of ribbing about his origins: I assume the armadillo was a joke present along those lines, but of course no one ever, ever got a straight answer about Bob.

2. I picked up some very nasty virus at the craft fair and have been sick since the morning after it (Monday). Wouldn't you know - just when I was going to take a day or two off to relax. Grr.

3. I don't like mangoes, except in mango chutney, or sweetened and dried (sometimes), or in mango lassi (I just made myself one).

[Lorrell]

1 The rain is here! I had to make a trip to the Post Office in it.


2. I have a sheet of Audrey Hepburn stamps.


3. I wish I could see her in that movie, "Breakfast At Tiffaneys".

[glitterfly]

Hmm...

-1- I just painted my toenails pearly blue.

-2- They match my bathing suit!

-3- I have to go to a pool party tonight, so I made them match.

-4- I'm such a nerd :D

[FearfulPenguin]

1. I go on holiday on Saturday!

2. I am owed more PIFs than I owe, so I can't be doing THAT badly...

3. I just ate too much chocolate in one go and now feel slightly ill...

[Seusomon]

1. I cannot find a white gel pen for sale anywhere in Los Alamos.

2. I can feel in the air that summer is waning. First felt it Monday.

3. I like Pinot Grigio.

[Bugitha]

1. More strange dreams: last night I dreamt I married the guy who played Epstein (I think that was his name on the show) from Welcome Back Kotter. I have not even seen that show in twenty years (or whenever it was first running) and it took me a while upon waking to remember where I'd seen him. How strange the subconscious is.

2. It took me a long time before I cared much about computers. If this one had not been given to me, I still might not have one. But in the last year or so, I think I've become officially hooked.

3. Because the bananas I bought went "bad" so quickly in this heat, it looks I'll be making banana bread this weekend. Yum.

[Dalmaney]

1. Today I got a hot pink chunk put in my hair. This is totally out of character for me, and the first time a non-naturally occurring color has been attatched to my head.

2. The pink was supposed to be more purple. Ah well, it seems that I'm destined to have pink hair. At least it only cost me three bucks.

3. Today I started to make wire jewelry.

[stargal1998]

1. I live near cleveland and my boyfriend is on a business trip in NYC. As of 9 pm they still didn't have power, and the last time I talked to him they heard gunshots in the Hotel they were in and then screaming before he said he had to go.

2. I do NOT want to go to work tomorrow, just want to sleep and spend the day with books.

3. My boyfriend is supposed to get home from his business trip tomorrow evening, but with the power outage I don't know if that will happen.

[nymphette]

1: i am snacking on lime cheecha krackles right now...

2: i burned the roof of my mouth on coffee (TWICE) today... so the lime is burning my mouth...

3: i also burned my leg on a curling iron today...

(sigh) it hasn't been a very good day i guess.... oh well, i will go to bed soon and forget about it... literally... i can't remember ANYTHING lately!!!

robyn

[lobstergirl]

Seusomon...have you tried Carter Sexton on Laurel Canyon for a white gel pen? (that's where i end up when i can't find any...) :)

1. i'm on a coco-roos kick right now. it's addicting!

2. tonight i was invited to go see the producers! yee-haw!

3. i recently dyed my hair dark brown

[Lorrell]

1.Mr. Stagnation has been stagnating as much as he can, he almost refused to go to work yesterday and you would think he is experiencing some sort of blackout or power failure, himself. :o


2. I am totally prepared for any major blackouts, hurricanes, etc. My kerosene lamps are polished, cleaned, wicked, filled and ready to go, got batteries, etc., so of course since I'm prepared, nothing will happen. :rolleyes:



3. I may try to do something with the patio and garden today, unless it gets to hot out, if it does, then I'll go swim. :D

[wildcherr]

Flea: Hey! great job... I dated my husband for 9 years before we got married. I thought I was the only one who dated the same person forever.

I dated my husband for 9 years before we got married.
We've now been married for 17 years.
The 1st movie we ever saw together was Smokey and The Bandit! :P

[Dalmaney]

1. I just spent 24 hours in Regina visiting one of my friends I haven't seen in months.

2. I am really tired and don't want to sleep for another hour or two so that I can just go to bed and stay there.

3. I love freezies.

[mysundown15]

1) I love Slurpees
2) I love margaritas
3) I prefer Pepsi over Coca-Cola

[nymphette]

on the subject of pop???....

1: i prefer diet pepsi to diet coke but will drink either coke or pepsi... but if a restaurant doesn't have pepsi products (for my diet pepsi) i will order iced tea or coffee...

2: my favorite pop ever is white cream soda... yummmmmy!!! best 'white' cream soda was the a&w's first cream soda (in my memory of their cream sodas anyhow!!!) which was in a gold-y colored can and was itself kind of a gold color... very vanilla-y... i MISS IT!!! if you can still get that ANYWHERE i will trade my kids for it... well, maybe not, but i'll make a good deal!!! ;)

3: i miss pic-a-pop too... i believe they MAY still have one in lumsden (a friend said a few years ago that they did), but i haven't seen one anywhere in years and years!!! when i lived in red deer about 12 years ago, there was a grocery store there that had this HUGE selection of fountain pops (veronicaslovebug: NOT SODA!!! ;) ) that you brought a two litre bottle to fill with any flavor that you wanted... they had cotton candy and bubblegum, any fruitflavor you could think of, lime, cherry and vanilla colas, etc... very cool i thought...

i am drinking a english toffee cappucino right now... in the sweltering heat...

robyn

[PleasantOne]

Ooo, caffeinated beverage products! :wub:

I prefer coke to pepsi...

My favorite is diet cherry coke, but I'm all out of it right now :blink:

I'd rather have regular pop, but I've got a problem with my triglycerides, and I'm trying to lose weight <_<

[Qwerty]

Continuing with the trend.....

1. I prefer pepsi to coke.

2. But my FAVORITE is ginger ale.....LOVE it.

3. I like rootbeer in the summertime.

[Bugitha]

My two cents--or three random facts--on soda (sorry nymphette, I say "soda" too! or else refer to any kind of carbonated beverage as a type of Coke, but that's been covered in a previous post to this thread. :) )

1. I used to only get soda when I was eating out, never bought it for the house until a place I worked finally got a Coke machine and I started slugging the stuff down at 6:30 am. Then it became a household staple. I've tapered back considerably in the past few months, though, due to financial problems. Now I only allow myself one 2-liter bottle every other week.

2. I heard on NPR that the Chicago area is the only place in the U.S. that still manufactures/sells "New Coke." Remember the New Coke fiasco in the 80's?

3. When I lived back east, I thought Moxie Cola was the most disgusting beverage available. It's not sold around here except in nearby Virginia City at the soda pop "museum" which is really just a store that sells a huge variety of carbonated beverages that are hard to find elsewhere.

[Dalmaney]

On the pop subject...

1. I prefer Coke to Pepsi, but more because they gave me a grand in my first year of uni then because of the taste.

2. At the same time, I hate both Coke and Pepsi because of their relentless campaign to brand every aspect of my world. Especially Coke, as they've branded my university.

3. If I do buy pop, I usually get the store brand for cheap. Same unnatural goodness at a price I don't feel silly paying for colored bubbled sugar water.

[VeronicasLovebug]

1. Now that the ear infection is finally starting to heal in my left ear and it doesn't hurt anymore....my right ear has decided to get an ear infection as well(will it ever end! :() :blink:

2. I can't stand to drink tap water...i always make my mom buy the bottled water...our tap water tastes like it has chlorine in it :huh:

3. This summer has seemed like it's been going by soooooo slow! but maybe that's because i can't wait for october to get here! :D

[judielaine]

Continuing in the carbonated beverage theme:

1. I love Bleinem's Ginger Ale, a potent brew originally for medicinal purposes, madde in South Carolina.

2. I like selzer and bitters, or seltzer with a bit of candied ginger, or selzer and lime juice.

3. Instead of a carbonated beverage, i generally have a cup of keemun tea.

Cheers,

judith

[jade]

Since we're on the topic of softdrinks and other drinks:

-- Back in high school, I used to drink 1 litre (sometimes more) of regular Coke a day.
-- Now I only drink Diet Coke - not that it makes THAT much difference.
-- The new blue Sprite Ice makes me nauseous.

[faeryz_magick]

the entries are so fun!!! i have way more wierd stuff then these, but here are three:

1. i have the world's messiest room, but i know exactly where everything is! :blink:

2. i'ver twisted my ankle and broke both my wrists in 5 years! :(

3. i'm a stationary junkie :rolleyes:

[faeryz_magick]

sorry to disturb the carbonated bevareage theme.

[kittymao]

shokay. I'll pick it up.

1. Crystal Pepsi. I loved that stuff. Why'd it have to go away!
2. And I guess I'm a weirdo, because I prefer Coke. Unless you have mountain dew or that tasty lipton tea.
3. And I have two weaknesses. Cherry pepsi and Vanilla coke. *thinks: what would happen if I mixed the two...?)

[Dalmaney]

I'm going to abandon the carbonated train, because that's not what's drving me nuts!

1. My bathroom ceiling is dripping into my tub, and the plaster has a very ominous bubbled look.
2. My fridge door won't stay closed on it's own.
3. My taps in the bathroom need replacing.
4. My door buzzer buzzes my neighbor, and vice versa.
5. I didn't live in a slum when I left in May, but my how things have degenerated since then. Time to remind the lanlord of all above complaints, give him another 24 hours, and then remind the management above him.

[littlest-bee]

It's been a while since I've posted in here...

1. I have a feta cheese fetish

2. I wish I was at the beach

3. Back to the drinks theme: I heart Dr Pepper!

[ckwini]

1. I am absolutely crazy for cats.

2. I am an avid Disney fan, the parks and the movies.

3. I have broken 2 National Records in Swimming.

[Bugitha]

I have a feta cheese fetish



I love feta cheese! A friend once recommended a restaurant, and I went, based soley on the fact that they had feta cheese at the salad bar.

1. My car started up fine this mornig, I drove to the park, took a walk, collected a bunch of leaves for an art project, went back to my car an hour later and it wouldn't start. :(

2. The mechanic's best estimate is "at least a couple hundred bucks, parts and labor." *sigh*

3. If memories of waiting for the bus for hours in the snow, struggling through a crowded bus with a basket of clothes to take to the laundromat and trying to shop for thanksgiving dinner carrying everything home on the bus weren't so terrible, I'd go back to traveling strictly on public transportation.

[Dalmaney]

1. My ominous bubbling plaster is now a large hole in my ceiling and a promise of a plumber tomorrow. He's supposed to do the taps, too. I'll believe it when I see it.

2. I may get a new fridge! That would surely lower my electric bill, so I'm rooting for it. Again, though, I'll believe when I see.

3. I'm temporarily living alone and TV free. I think I could rather get used to this. Next time I lose a roomie, I will be sorely tempted to find a place just for me.

[Katiekat]

1. Last week at work, I had this conversation with a 4-year-old:
Child (looking at a baseball display): I want the baseball.
Me: I'm sorry, but it's just to look at.
Child: I want the baseball!
Me: I'm really sorry, sweetie, but it belongs to someone.
Child (pointing behind me): Look! A monster!
Me (looking behind me at non-existent monster): There's no monster!
Child: now has hands on the window's lock, trying to open it.
Me: Kiddo, you can't get in there, it's all locked up.
Child: What's your name?
Me: Miss Katie. What's your name?
Child: (somewhat garbled) shuudop.
Me: Sheldon?
Child: (totally clear) Shut UP!
Me: Oh, that's not a very nice thing to say.
Child: You big monkey!
Me: Ooh, that's really not a nice thing to say!
Child: You BIG STUPID MONKEY!
At this time, his sister runs up, grabs his arm says "J.J.!!" and pulls him away.

2. I think I've been dumped by my penpal that I made through Nervousness. It was Eenie, and she left nervousness awhile ago. I sent her a letter a few months ago, and I haven't heard from her since.

3. I learned how to play Hearts last weekend, and I'm pretty darn good at it! I wanna play again.

Well Katie, if you're looking for another penpal... You could always write me :D

1. I was tired of my job so I quit a few days ago. My last day is Saturday. Yay!

2. I had a job interview today but I realized that I didn't want the job after all.

3. I can't wait for university to start again in 2 weeks!

[Bugitha]
