Three random facts:

[Christine_0701]

didn't win the earlybird draws, but there' still 60 more prizes

I sent out a ton of e-mails, and over half didn't go thorugh :(

ah well. that's how it goes, right?

[luciente]

when i finished the multiple choice today, i was excited to have gotten a bunch right. unusual, but interesting sensation.

tomorrow i have to write again.

tupac was cool before he got famous, but then he just got dumb.

[Lorrell]

I have been away from here for awhile and now that I've returned I've found my knowledge of plants is still in demand.

I'm going to dose myself with some Calcium try to go to bed early tonight, I'm bone-tired, but I've got so much reading to do!

Tomorrow is a work day and I'm feeling dragged already. I hope I have some time off this weekend, I'm almost afraid to look at next month's calendar.

[Christine_0701]

hehe thank you for your flower knowledge :) my flowers and I appreciate it

I should've known the name...if they had the lamens term, instead of the latin (?) i would've remembered

yeay!

[wackthedrums100]

1. I just cut a big gash in my arm with a pencil by accident - How dunce is that?
2.My ninth cousin once removed is Princess Diana
3. I get high off Argentinian tea

[ebandit]

The ballet was wonderful. They did three pieces. The first was wonderfullly dreamlike.

TGIF FRIDAAAAAAAAAAY...YaaaaY!!!]

I went to the ballet last nite...it is nice to have friends that call you up when they have a spare ticket!

[Christine_0701]

2.My ninth cousin once removed is Princess Diana cool....but wouldn't it be easier to just say your tenth cousin? i don't get why people are always like "like my second cousin, twice removed" just say fourth cousin!!!

my eleventh great grandfather came accross on the mayflower, but not before he almost blew it up :lol:

he was also the first white man to be hung in the New World

[Lilac]

Okay, yesterday I was complaining that this place was hot as Hell. Today it's as cold as a witch's tit! I have my coat draped over my shoulders.


Plus, I have bad, bad period cramps and am in a grumpy mood.


And, as usual, I want to sleep.

[gwensmom]

cool....but wouldn't it be easier to just say your tenth cousin? i don't get why people are always like "like my second cousin, twice removed" just say fourth cousin!!!

The "removed" part indicates a difference in generation. My second cousin's children would be my second cousins once removed, but they would not be my third cousins. By the time you get out to 10th and 11th cousins it probably doesn't make much difference anyway!

I just went to deliver something at a college campus and I was wishing I could just walk into a building and go to a class. I love going to school.

Gwen's teething is keeping me from knitting or making anything. She doesn't feel good and needs a lot of extra attention and TLC. But she's worth it.

[gwensmom]

Lilac, once again we are on the same schedule. I hope you feel better.

It is a perfect day here- clear, sunny and cold.

How is everyone who got snowed on yesterday?

[Christine_0701]

haha I laugh at you! (ok, not really because that's just mean, but) I don't have my period this month :P

yeah, when you get into genealogy, we learnt that if your second cousin has a kid, they're you're third cousin

the whole business of second cousins etc. can get very confusing

[Lilac]

I've decided that I'm going to go skiing tomorrow, or maybe Sunday.

I deserve a break.


I only wish I could go for the entire weekend instead of just one day.

[ebandit]

haha I laugh at you! (ok, not really because that's just mean, but) I don't have my period this month :P


Hmmm..."I don't have my period this month" sounds a whole lot like "I may be pregnant!" (at least from my days in maternity clinic)

I am trying to get a co-worker to take up painting...recruiting her for a watercolor workshop.

Why do I spend so much money on paint? If I were selling enough paintings to pay for it, it would make sense...but...

[Zhenechka]

HWhy do I spend so much money on paint?.

There's a medical term for people like you: art supply whore. It's okay, though. You're among friends.

Yes, Lilac you do deserve a break. Have fun on the slopes!

I have a thesis group meeting in an hour and a half.

I'm presenting with my advisor in a colliquium on the establishment co-opting the avant-garde (her paper) and the avant-garde co-opting the establishment (my paper).

I am NOT going to have this chapter ready by Tuesday. Eek!

[Helquin]

yeah, when you get into genealogy, we learnt that if your second cousin has a kid, they're you're third cousin
Actually, Lilac had it right: the child of a second cousin is a second cousin once removed.

A cousin is a relative with whom you share a set of grandparents. A second cousin is a relative with whom you share a set of great-grandparents. A third cousin is a relative with whom you share a set of great-great-grandparents. And so on in this fashion...

This holds in any form of genealogy I've ever studied. The value of this nomenclature is that it makes a plain distinction between one's familial relationships to a third cousin and to a second cousin once removed, for instance.

[an-su]

I feel nervous - angrylike - negatif and I don't even know why :(

We visited a cousin of my grand-mother and we had some sourcherry liquor she made herself. It was delicious even for me who am not really alcohol friendly.

I want to wake me up to a sunny day tomorrow, a blue sky would be great too.

[bluecrayon]

Here I am and no one is here...

If I was paranoid, I could imagine that my name shows up and everyone flees!

but I'm only disappointed, because my computer time is so limited now and I miss bumping with people.

[Cellissimo]

I'm here!

But just barely.

Would rather be working on art projects right now.

[Christine_0701]

Hmmm..."I don't have my period this month" sounds a whole lot like "I may be pregnant!" (at least from my days in maternity clinic)

hah. no, it's my pituitary gland doesn't work and I'm not taking my pills this month, b/c I didn't start them yet b/c of my doctor's appt. and she said I can skip every other month ANYWAYS so....

it makes it very nice, that's for sure :lol:

I also found out there's a pill they often give women who can't have babies, b/c it helps regulate the cycle, but it's a blood pressure medication...or is it blood sugar? anyhoo, one of the two

[ohbother]

1.) I am here too... for a little while longer.

2.) I am stuck inside on a day that is unusually warm outside for this time of year.

3.) I am just finally feeling human again after getting the flu -ick!!

[lemur]

There's a medical term for people like you: art supply whore.

Is this like standing on the corner holding up a sign that reads 'will work for art supplies' ? not that I've ever done that...:unsure:

My first cousins once removed just call me 'aunty'. We figure they don't really have any aunts on this side (my cousin is an only child) so what the hey.

I remember trying to explain to another cousin (who is signifigantly younger than me) that his mom and my mom are sisters and that makes us cousins. That confused the hell out of him. He could understand that another cousin the same age was his cousin-but I was a way older so I must be an aunty. Aunties are old, cousins are not. He still calls me aunty.

I'm pretty happy with my Indian ATCs, me. (oowwaaa)

[tanagee]

Ok so let me get this straight:
My mom's cousins are my cousins once removed? Their kids are my cousins twice removed? Their kids are my cousins three times removed and Megan's cousins four times removed? :wacko:

We have always called them "kissin' Cousins" :p

My whole household has a touch of a respiratory bug; my husband's is SARS or the plague, Megan's is a bad cold and mine is "You're sick?"

[Amyma]

I spent three days in Michaels today.
I spent five days in Wal Mart today.
I am soooo glad I am home.

[lemur]

My mom's cousins are my cousins once removed?
yep

Their kids are my cousins twice removed? No they are your second cousins.

Their kids are my cousins three times removed and Megan's cousins four times removed?
Their kids are your second cousins once removed, and Megan's (I think) third cousins ( but now I am getting confused...well think of it as 'not related enough for it to really matter' ;) )

The removed simply denotes that you and that relative are not of the same generation. You are one or more generation 'removed' from them.

There's three or so facts in there.

[gwensmom]

My dryer is not working properly so I had to go over to my mothers to dry clothes.

While I was there I talked to my grandmother who is very old and has had several strokes. She thinks my mother got shot and went to heaven and then came back from heaven. She said she has never heard of anything like this before but that as she gets older Christianity is sounding even more attractive. Bless her heart.

I think I will go and gizoogle the white house website.

[Zhenechka]

I think I will go and gizoogle the white house website.

fo' shizzle!

My friend, who got her PhD a couple of years ago used to write between forty and fifty pages a week.

If I write ten, I'm happy.

My advisor told me that it's because my friend had so much in here. I guess that means that I'm empty. :mellow:

[ReallyStrangeGirl]

I feel like ass. Itchy, stomachache, swollen, tired, bleh.... total ass.
I blame food allergies.

I think I am slowly falling behind on everything. *sigh*

Who's watching the Oscars on Sunday? I think I may do a blow-by-blow blogathon throughout the whole silly thing. Could be interesting... unless I get invited to an Oscar party that is.

[gwensmom]

White Hizouse website gizoogle:
"President Bizzy is married ta Laura Welch Bizzush, a pimp pimp n librarian, n they hizzle T-W-to-tha-izzin playa Barbara n Jenna so jus' chill. The Bizzay family also includes two dogs, Barney n Miss Beazley, n a ciznat, Willie . You'se a flea and I'm the big dogg."

This isn't as ridiculous as the part that says Bush is protecting the environment and working to increase military pay and benefits. Who writes that stuff anyway??

I wonder if any of the awesome librarians on Nervousness are pimp pimp n librarians like Laura.

[ReallyStrangeGirl]

Yo, yo, yo! I be pimpin' like a Mutha! Fo shizzle!

[nici]

I have 5 loads of laundry that are clean and waiting to be folded.


They have been waiting for two days already.

They can wait another night.

[Zhenechka]

Is this like standing on the corner holding up a sign that reads 'will work for art supplies' ? not that I've ever done that...:unsure:

Pshaw. I saw you on the CBC.ca website with your little sign. The headline was something like, "Silk Roving. The New Crack in Saskatchewan." Of course, BC produces the best shit.

I just took a 2.5-hour nap. Eep.

It's a bean-cooking day here because I noticed that we only had kidney beans in the freezer and the local grocery store has started carrying dried black beans again.

I went to the dollar store and bought stuff that I probably don't need,

I wonder how the the bar exam wrapped up for Theresa...and if she still needs a Year of the Rooster first day cover from Candy-da.

[luciente]

i went to the dollar store on monday night. i bought a new pair of socks for each day of the bar exam. lol. i don't know why. i confirmed my suspicion that i hate women's socks. they're too narrow or something.

the test...i didn't finish number seven, which kind of freaked my out, but i'm hoping everything else will average out ok. yeah, i didn't get my rooster yet. do you want to do a trade?

i bought the stuff to work on some spoken word pieces. i reckon i'm going to put out a cd. while i wait for the test results. april 7.

[nymphette]

i left my house at 5 pm on thursday.... i got home at 2 pm today......

<sigh> and i only had the baby with me....

i missed my boys, but i missed my mental health more.... i've got both back now.... unfortunately, having my mental health back is probably temporary....

[nymphette]

i did 3 scrapbooking spreads and a single page.... i wanna scan them and put them on here- they are the first "REAL"scrapbooking pages i have done....

i've done baby book pages up for the kids baby books... but not real scrapping layouts....

it ws so much fun... screw art... i'm crafting now.... :p yes yes yes, it was very very fun.. and i dont' know why i was so surprised to find out how fun it was.... but it was really relaly fun!!! :D

[Christine_0701]

i'm glad you had fun while you were gone, Robyn!!

I'm watching First Daughter and so far it is excellent

Last night I saw A.I.: Artifical Intelligence....excellent (i've seen it before)

[Christine_0701]

First Daughter is, however, kind of a rip-off of Chasing Liberty

I have a cold :(

my throat is sore, and I'm sneezing but that's aboot it

[ebandit]

Pshaw. I saw you on the CBC.ca website with your little sign.

I KNEW that was Lemur...those eyes are hard to miss!


Yes I am obviously among art supply whore friends.


I have considered working at a Michael's or Hobby Lobby just to be there for the good sales (and employee discounts if such a thing exists.)

[Zhenechka]

I have considered working at a Michael's or Hobby Lobby just to be there for the good sales (and employee discounts if such a thing exists.)

Ya. Ptichka and I have both considered getting a pt jobs at the Japanese Paper Place for the employee discount. They probably would never have to pay me in actual money, I'd just waltz out the door every other week with a bundle of silk paper.

So, I'm finally working on my diss for the day.

I did get a fair bit of non-academic stuff accomplished earlier today, though.

[gooeyiguana]

1. I have spent my week of vacation - EEEEK - ON VACATION! I mentally checked out of my to-do list (probably because it is so freakin' HUGE).

2. Since it's Saturday night, like all good teachers, I'm looking at that NASTY to-do list now and I think I just might be sick.

3. :::::ooff in search of the time machine that allows BOTH vacations and work-completion thereby balancing mental health:::: (Let me know if you have it, ok?)

[whiteraven]

I went to my Polymer clay guild meeting today and managed to make a my art doll pendant for a swap, even while busy chatting and feeding my face.

Tomorrow is my mom's birthday.

I won a polymer clay technique video in a raffle today. As soon as I post this I am going to climbing in bed with a cup of tea and some peanut m&m's to watch it.

[lemur]

Pshaw. I saw you on the CBC.ca website with your little sign.

the article is
'Lemurs in the city: Saskatchewan's new migrant problem'. but really who trusts the CBC?They are just pissed off because there are lemurs upon lemurs pouring in trying to get bannock cards.
So of couse they show us in an unfair light:

Someone should tell the kid (Lemuretta)to go downtown and check (Lemur's)Mom's sign, or better yet..HELP her beg...people are more generous if you have children to "feed"



I love self-abasing humor!

[Zhenechka]

Thank you Lemur, I just spit coffee all over the wall. :mad: :rolleyes: :lol:

Doing a work-out video is not a smart thing to do with a cat in the house.

I wasn't going to play on Nervousness until after I had written two pages but I did my work out video so I'm rewarding myself.

I forgot just how hard ballet is. Ugh.

[gwensmom]

We must stop this blatant Canadian lemur harassment! We shall overcome! Call the ACLU.. or the CCLU or whatever they have in Canada.

I made two pots of soup this morning. While chopping veggies I cut three different fingers on my left hand.

I'm going to go see my mom this morning. She could use some TLC.

[lemur]

Yeah it's no fair.

That goose statue is the only picture I could find online of downtown Regina! There used to be a picture of it on our social textbooks.

Heheh now I'm all proud-I made Zhenia and helquin laugh...or I imagine baby lemur did. (whom I have nothing to do with! Nothing at all!)

[Zhenechka]

Heheh now I'm all proud-I made Zhenia and helquin laugh...or I imagine baby lemur did. (whom I have nothing to do with! Nothing at all!)

Is this because you've abandoned it in you whorish pursuit of art supplies?


So, I was supposed to write two pages before coming over here.

I've written a page BUT I came on-line to look up something over on SovLit and Nervousness just so happens to be my homepage...so...

Yeah, I'm pathetic.

[Helquin]

The belly laugh from Lemur was much appreciated in my currently wretched state.

Contrary to popular opinion, my "currently wretched state" is not Ohio. :lol:

I am tickled to see that BlueCrayon has an avatar now. :)

[Christine_0701]

argh...I woke up after 7 hours of sleep and was wide awake. I am now tired, but not tired enough to go back to sleep

doesn't my body realize that a sick body needs at least 9 hours of sleep, not 7???

I have a headache too (yes, whine whine)

[Christine_0701]

I haven't doen any beading in the past 2 days

I didn't get anything @ value village yesterday (a first this year, I think), but I did get another pot of flowers ^_^

I think mayhaps I'll update my website later

[gwensmom]

Gwensdad has driven me crazy this weekend nitpicking everything I do or don't do. My mother wasn't this bad when I was living at home!

I have to go to court on Tues because he didn't renew his auto registration and of course I was the one driving the truck when the cop noticed this.

Gwen has felt much better today. thank goodness!

[hammerquill]

:rofl:

I second that.

Eve thirds it.

One does get the suspicion that certain ringtailed primates among us have too much free time on their hands. Perhaps it's cabin fever.

[Lilac]

Skiing was excellent! Beautiful weather, and I only fell once!


My son and I went to a "Reptile Expo" today and I ended up buying two baby (2 week old) rats that were to be used as snake food. They were sooo cute I couldnt stand the fact that they were to be fed to snakes!


So, now I've added Allball and Bumblefoot to my menagerie.


Go ahead. Call me crazy.

[ebandit]

Lilac is crazy.

Ringtailed primates should NOT be allowed near art supplies.

Baby Lemur looks so pitiful since Mama Lemur abondoned him in her wild pursuit of art supply whoring.

[luciente]

pictures, lilac. pictures, please.

chrissy hynde rocks my socks.

i had chorizo for brunch

[Lilac]

I will post pictures of my rattlings as soon as I get my camera back from my aunt's house. (I forgot it there the other day.)


They really are too cute for words.


And I'm told they make great pets!

They do.

When I took Zoology in 9th grade I was in charge of the care and feeding of the rat along with my deskmate. We named it Mumphord.

I took him home for spring break, I used to take it outside and let it run around on my lawn a little. Whenever my Basset Hound would round the corner or walk outside Mumphy would scrabble up my leg and sit on my shoulder.

Dispite how I feel about the vermin that infest my attic, I still love rodents!

[gwensmom]

Lilac I can't believe you got more animals!!!

I know where the name Allball came from.

I'm sending three postcards to Canada tomorrow.

[zanna]

that means i actually have to clean. :mad:

Goodnight Cellisimo! Sweet dreams of Mardi gras beads and boss revenge!

Goodnight Lilac! I had fun chain gaming with you.

I've been there myself - I'm sorry about this. It's upsetting when the muse goes away.

But she'll come back - she probably just needs some rest. Sometimes, inspiration comes in cycles.

Take heart, you're talented and artistic. Allow yourself to rest or try something different. I'm sure your muse will return soon!

[luciente]

Why did I decide to go to grad school?

i see a vast museum in your future.

There's one more job talk to attend tonight. It's on Dostoevskii. Ugh.

I should be taking care of bills and taxes right now. I cannot get off Nness.

The media has hyped up another "Storm of the Century" for later on today. Instead of shovelling snow, I will send the kids out to do it, and I will play on Nness.

I have to call up Citibank and yell at them AGAIN for screwing up our new account. Never bank with them, it is hell. :mad:

\The media has hyped up another "Storm of the Century" for later on today. Instead of shovelling snow, I will send the kids out to do it, and I will play on Nness.

Hey, we're getting that exact same storm this afternoon too. 20 - 30 cm of snow by Wednesday.

Torontonians are complete and utter wooses when it comes to weather, so there will be much whining.

Maybe it's right there in front of you, but you just can't see it.
Sometimes you have to look away to see what's there.

Try spending a few days not thinking about painting. Do something completely different and don't touch a paintbrush. Before you know it the muse may sneak up behind you and tap you on the shoulder.

[velma]

This is a duplicate post from the "members" forum. But, most of my buddies are here, so...

Hey guys! Here we are in Key Largo. We found an illicit wi-fi spot and are uploading some of the pictures, etc., that we've taken so far. To check it out, go to:

Wish you could be here with us, too, Cindy!

If we find another wi-fi spot (we're off to Key West today), I'll upload some more. I've been working on the pictures a little bit every night. Hope you all are well. My sympathies to those of you in the cold & snow!

Don't believe what they tell you, I would not sell baby lemur to the highest art supplier-he is not mine to sell.

I hate it when there are all clean dishes in the dishwasher; then you have nowhere to put the dirty ones. And I so hate emptying it. Dishwasher smell is gross.

I made a turquoise coloured necklace today.

That totally free Lemur is a weird link!

I got a message about free lemur if you send fabric dye.

I haven't felt like playing much on Nness lately....been doing 3RF, and other threads, but not many of the games

I've been feeling quite apathetic in general, actually

I don't want to go to class tonight, but I'm not sick enough I can skip :(

[whiteraven]

All of a sudden my computer monitor is covered in small lines.

I cannot afford to buy a new computer monitor right now becasue I spent all my money on art supplies.

It is snowing very hard here and is supposed to continue until tomorrow sometime.

[ReallyStrangeGirl]

Hey there Whiteraven! Where in Mass are you?
I'm in Framingham today and as of 6:38pm it isn't snowing yet.

I hope it snows enough to not have to go to work tomorrow.... I really need a day off! Catch up, make stuff and clean!

Uhh... 3rd fact... you shouldn't refreeze sea bass.:huh:

[Helquin]

Hey guys! Here we are in Key Largo.
I've been wondering what happened to Velma: I forgot all about her Key West vacation. Woohoo!

I am a manic house-cleaning machine today -- washing dishes, doing multiple loads of laundry, moving mountains of trash.

So how come this place still looks like 50 pre-schoolers chased a monkey through here? :huh:

[Lilac]

Dinner was Raisin Bran for me and Kix for Grandma and my son.

I'm going to clean up, go soak in a warm bath and then go to bed and read.

I hope I'm snowed in tomorrow.

[whiteraven]

Hey! reallystrangegirl: I'm just outside of Worcester in Millbury. We're practially neighbors! 9:47 pm here now and it's snowing like mad.

I hope pre-school is cancelled tomorrow so I don't have to go anywhere

Dinner tonight for me was peanut m&m's and a cup of Dragon Phoenix Pearl tea

[gwensmom]

Everything is going to hell in a handbasket. The dryer broke and gwensdad is not lifting a finger to get it fixed. Our furnace is also not working and we can't get it fixed until tomorrow. All this waiting around the house for repair people will mean we can't go to work so how the hell are we supposed to pay for all these repairs/new appliances???????

At least I sold some vegetable beef soup today so I can put gas in the car tomorrow.

I supposed I had better put some more junk up for auction on ebay. I also have four more quarts of soup to sell on Wednesday.

[ebandit]

My muse came back and kicked some art ass!

I did four pieces...they are not finished but they are started and looking exciting!

I decided to just go in and start letting it fly.....WOW....I am feeling all inspired again

(bonus fact: Inspired- literally it means "breathed in" --I have been breathed in and renewed! Wheeeee)

[luciente]

chris cornell <3

my hip feels like crap.

my grandma is sick. :mad: i'm sending her costa rican vick's. that willl make her laugh at least.

[ReallyStrangeGirl]

Hey! reallystrangegirl: I'm just outside of Worcester in Millbury. We're practially neighbors! 9:47 pm here now and it's snowing like mad.

Why howdy neighbor!
I actually live in Norwood, but I work in Framingham. My best friend is in "Woostah" and Velma lives in Leicester. Small world, eh?

[Zhenechka]

It's been snowing like a mutha here since this afternoon.

I'm beginning to think that although Dostoevsky experts look like normal people, they're actually aliens from another planet.

Number 2 was the best but they'll offer the job to number 3.

[colorangel]

My son needed some cash so he shoveled the whole driveway, yeah!

I'm going to NY on Wednesday to take care of biz, and then see if I can get a piece of a "Gate" as they take them down.

I really should be sleeping right now.

[luciente]

gate of what?

what constitutes whiteness

female character types

[Christine_0701]

The Gates are an art "piece" in Central Park...

American Idol was good

CSI miami is a rerun

[Cellissimo]

I'm still in the grip of writer's block. Why does this always happen when a paper is due?

Thank you, Luciente, for reminding me why I'm in grad school.

I've got a stiff, sore neck, and I can barely move my head.

[zanna]

it's 4am in the morning in atlanta and while everyone else is sleeping
it's snowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i'm sorry, but its just so beautiful.

i haven't had this in so long.

[whiteraven]

It's snowing and I am not excited about it the way zanna is!

All of a sudden I am considered an Old Timer here. I find this very cool indeed!

Preschool is cancelled to day so I don't have to drag my ass and my son out in the snow. This is nirvana to me.....

[gwensmom]

We made it through the night with no heat. We put a space heater in Gwen's room and we were fine under the down comforter. It was a little nippy getting out of the shower, however! Hopefully this will be fixed today.

They are coming to look at the broken dryer tomorrow.

I got up at 4:30 so I could drop off my wet clothes to be dried at my mom's, get gas in the car and get to work early to make more money to pay for all these repairs. *YAWN*

It's not snowing here but it is cold.

[Zhenechka]

It's snowing here. It has been since yesterday afternoon. The flakes now, though, are blizzard flakes: teeny tiny little crystals.

Ptichka is home sick. Poor thing.

I need to get out of here and finish my chapter for tonight. Luckily, the part I need to write is the part that has been fermenting in the back of my brain since last spring. It wants out!

[lemur]

I used to love being at home sick. Unless I was really sick.

I have decided to give the correspondence thing another try. In three months I will be cursing this decision, I know it.

I hate my skin :mad:

[an-su]

It snowed here too a little bit this morning...

Is it snowing all over the world ????? ;)

I am looking for some extra energy to work on things...

[Zhenechka]

We've gotten about 20cm so far. The snow is taller than the cat so I had to dig her a path with a dust pan (my neighbor, her owner, is hoarding the communal shovel) to the other neighbor's van so that she can pee in peace.

The stray made it to the living room window but he hasn't made it around to the food yet. Poor thing.

Ptichka is sitting in bed doing a big cross stitch. She's also sniffling and coughing...a lot.

[ReallyStrangeGirl]

It's snowing and I am not excited about it the way zanna is!

All of a sudden I am considered an Old Timer here. I find this very cool indeed!



I only like snow when there is enough to cancel work. There isn't enough to cancel work.

Hmm... I wasn't considered an "old timer" until I had reached over 500 posts. I think after 1000 posts I should be a ninja. When I was kid I wanted to be a ninja.

I really don't want to go to work today.

[Christine_0701]

oye, my tummy hurts from coughing all night

fortunately, my coughing didn't keep me up

but *ahem* i'm not up yet...i'm not up for another 2 hours, so I can say I slept through the beginning of class and just didn't make it

[tanagee]

Is it snowing all over the world ????? ;)

I am pleased to say No it isn't! :yay: It is a cool 55 and partly cloudy here in La-La Land. It should get up to the low to mid 60's today.

I wanna be 18 again.

I am coughing up frightening looking mucus :ill:

[Christine_0701]

it's not snowing here, either...it's raining

blah...and i'm sick, rain when you're sick is just 10 times worse than when you're not

that doesn't sound good tana! at least i'm not coughing up phlegm or something

[zanna]

so i'm riding the bus to class like its a normal day until we make the stop at our main campus and some girls getting on saying that hanson is in the court yard. i thought they were lying but instead of staying on the bus until my stop, i got off that instant and went to the court yard, you know, just to double check.

and sure enough, my dreams from 6th grade have come true!

i met hanson and took pictures!

oh god, i used to love them so much and here it is like 8 years later and i'm shaking their hands and getting taylor hanson to sign the back of my cell phone (because i had nothing else).

wow, between the snow, meeting hanson, and the knowledge that i made a B on my poly sci midterm when the mean score was a 63, this has has got to be one of the best days ever!

[an-su]

It is not snowing here either anymore :( just that old cold COLD rain.

I finished my work for the friendship tapesty project. Now , I can start sewing for the monster quilt...

I guess I will burn some incense...

[ebandit]

So WHERE are these pictures? (I didn't realize you are so YOUNG!)

I wanna see Zanna and Hanson

I gotta go pee.

My blood pressure meds make me have to pee all the time UGH.

[luciente]

one of the things i like about being home alone is being able to play music that my peeps might consider played out.

i miss my juanes cd.

i just found my favorite lipbalm.

[Christine_0701]

wow, lucky you zanna!!!!

i'm off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of rain

think he'll listen to me? no, darn

[Lilac]

Everything is going to hell in a handbasket. The dryer broke and gwensdad is not lifting a finger to get it fixed. Our furnace is also not working and we can't get it fixed until tomorrow. All this waiting around the house for repair people will mean we can't go to work so how the hell are we supposed to pay for all these repairs/new appliances???????


Oh poor Sarah! It sounds like you're living my life!

Hang in there...

Everything usually turns out okay!:kiss: :hug:

[ebandit]

i'm off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of rain

I mis-read this as "the wonderful wizard of PAIN" ..then I wondered if he ignores you too!

this has been a long ass day! I am so ready to go home.


My eyes are tired.

[Lilac]

My whole body is tired, Gene. I could use about a week's worth of non-stop sleep!



My son's school has been cancelled the past two days.



I havent shoveled my driveway yet...I just plow on through. Of course, I have to use the gas guzzling mitsubishi...so I think I might plow it when i get home tonight so I can drive my little toyota to work the rest of the week.

[gwensmom]

OK- things are looking up. The people will be at the house to fix the furnace in 30 minutes. The dryer people are coming tomorrow. I dropped off wet clothes at my mother's house this morning and she said she would dry them and bring them back this afternoon.

Plus I went to court to take care of the ticket I got in Gwensdad's car with an expired registration. The session started at 1:30 and I was out of there by 1:40 with no fine. I went to a work-related event that was two blocks away right before court, so I will even get reimbursed for parking fees!

Yesterday when I was fretting over all this I did think of you, Lilac!

[gwensmom]

oooh Zanna - what a great day! Way to go on poly sci. And post those pictures of Hanson when you get a chance.

Theresa is your brain back to normal after all that studying and test-taking?

Reed and Eve- post some pics!

[luciente]

Theresa is your brain back to normal after all that studying and test-taking?

^_^ mostly. flunking last time was really bad for "my self-concept" as my friend phoenix says. so i can't really tell how i did. all i know is, i'm taking a year off if i have to take it again.

good job on your ticket! :cool:

i'm applying for jobs. so far today, i applied for production assistant for a film. lol. for that one, i put nervousness on my resume. funny.

[kittymao]

well, I'm in a better mood than I was yesterday. I was just feeling damn FOUL, and now I'm sedate. Sigh.

I'm starting a local legends LMAO, and I'm stupid excited. I forgot hosting was fun. shoot, lately I forgot ARTING was fun.

I'm trying to re-arrange the room so I can reach my desk. Hooray! By tomorrow I can do decos!

[Zhenechka]

I'm a conclusion away from sending my advisor my chapter but I just can't seem to focus long enough to write the blasted thing.

I think that it might be because I'm bored. Sure. It probably has more to do with the fact that I'm lazy.

I have a stamp that I carved this weekend that I haven't used yet. IF I get this chapter done, I get to drag out the printing supplies and go to town with it....

[Christine_0701]

i didn't see the wizard or rain, or pain for that matter...thankfully it didn't rain while we were out :)

I did forget my book, that was the main reason for the trip, and the other: the post office was closed

I made up for it by buying snackies for the next month :lol:

[lemur]

I am very happy they are offering my course in Whitewood this year. I do not have to go to Saskatoon.

It was lovely here today! (sorry to all of you suffering) Blindingly sunny-I could feel the difference in the angle, as the sun has begun to actually feel warm.

I want to see the pictures of Hanson too. Heck I just wanna see more pictures...:)

[Jacey]

I'm chasing Helquin and Lilac around the Cafe.

My dog needs a bath, I can smell her feet from across the room.

My 11 cent feeder fish is now the size of a small Koi. I'm thinking it was in the wrong tank.

[Lilac]

Hm...I'm a "post-aholic" now. :huh: <_<



I say this title should be changed to "Forums Ninja."



Perhaps Helquin, Bluecrayon, Christine and I should protest! :lol:

[Helquin]

Hi Jacey! :wave:

I just noticed that the "old-timers" have become "post-a-holics" :lol: How long has that been around?

Ha! This (http://www.beautyandthebook.com/) almost makes me wish I lived in "the piney woods of East Texas" -- it's "The ONLY Hair Salon/Book Store in the country!" What a hoot! ^_^

[luciente]

i have a job interview tomorrow. and i'm going to have to take a taxi. :( stupid waste of money. i could go thursday, but if i go tomorrow, i have a chance of making a dollar more an hour. well, at least it's close to my house.

i'm upset about something. i should be happy. i don't know what i'm upset about.

i need to go broil steaks. :mellow:

[Jacey]

Nice to see you Helquin!

I was an old-timer ten minutes ago, now I'm a Monet, but I think I'd rather be a Pollock.

The jungle beat (http://www.beautyandthebook.com/)scared the shit outta me.

[whiteraven]

My nervousness "title" keeps changing. This morning I was an Old Timer, now I am Monet. Is this some bizarre way to see if we are paying attention?

My son was a crab all day. He was up too late last night and got up too early this morning. All day he whined, cried, yelled and just generally acted horrible. By the time hubby got home I was ready to slit my throat...

I made my monster quilt today. It came out very cute. Sending it off tomorrow to lobster_girl

[Christine_0701]

haha I love the post-a-holic!!!

but Forums Ninja would be mucho better...maybe a 20,000 posts and up declaration? (gotta give you and Helquin something to reach for, Lilac :lol: )

Forums Ninja would be better if the :ph34r: actually worked &lt;_&lt;

[gwensmom]

Some saucy Canuck :canada: sent me a picture postcard of Elvis Stojko saying that he is THE Elvis. AS IF!!!

Actually, it probably wasn't a Canuck but an American living in Cananda. One who is writing a dissertation and is enamored with all things slavic.

The furnace is fixed to the tune of $530.:eek: I told gwensdad to expect to eat peanut butter for a while. They are coming to look at the dryer tomorrow.

[ebandit]

Darn...I was an old-timer and now I am a Monet......

I like Monet but I would rather be Van Gogh or maybe John Singer Sargent

I am glad for Gwensmom about the ticket (ouch on the furnace) and hope Lilac gets rested soon!

[ebandit]

Jacey --- Quit chasing Lilac..that girl needs some rest! And well Helquin would prefer someone else chase him. hehehe

Not all "old-timers" became Post-a-holics, some of us are Monets. (I think I feel cheated)

Stojko ? is that like a bad cigar? (oh get your panties out of a wad! I know he is a skater)

[Christine_0701]

haha Elvis Stojko is only the BEST male figure skater from canada

Kurt Browning is a close second

Possibly tied with Scott Hamilton (if he's from canada) and Alexei Yagoudin (who's actually Russian but considers Canada his second home)

[ebandit]

ShaZaaam it is bedtime!

I didn't have time to do everything...

Probably because I spent over an hour watching a watercolor painting video workshop.

[Christine_0701]

:lol: didn't notice the fine print :P

it's my non-funmctioning brain, I swear

did I already mention i bought a months worth of snacks? I think i did, but...

[Christine_0701]

I used to love watching this watercolor show on TV...forget what it was called, it was this old guy

He reminded me of James Barber from Cooking with the Urban Peasant

man, I love watching cooking shows...

[Zhenechka]

haha Elvis Stojko is only the BEST male figure skater from canada

Kurt Browning is a close second


Blasphemy! What about Brian Orser?

Heh, I'm glad that the pc made it. I've been saving it for a special someone who, I think, helped some other Elvis send me a postcard.

I'm still three sentences away from finishing my chapter. ARGH!

[Zhenechka]

He reminded me of James Barber from Cooking with the Urban Peasant

Did you ever see the one where he boiled crabs in beer but since they weren't dead yet, as he was doing something else they made right royal ruckus and the James went over to the pot, lifted the lid, and all of these little crab claws started appearing over the top as they were scrambling to escape the hot pot?

Still three sentences away.

I'm Monet. Um, Monet sucks ass as far as I'm concerned.

Seminal position in art history blah blah blah, I hate his frickin' water lilies.

[Christine_0701]

no, didn't see that eppy of Urban Peasant

haha yes, Brian is good too...I just couldn't think of other canadian figure skaters

doh!!! damn, his name just left...Jeffrey Buttle!!!!! I loooove him, he's awesome...and ummmmmmmmm....Emmanuel Sandhu

[Rabbithare]

We all have stange names under our handles..... I don't underdstand.

I do understand that they are most artist refered.... but I don't get it:confused:

I don't want to got to work tomorrow

[Zhenechka]

Emmanuel Sandhu

:wub:

I just sent off my chapter. It's a big steaming pile.

Oh well, I get to work on something else for the next month.

That was me breathing a sigh of relief. I think that I'll go watch Jon Stewart now. Also, :wub:

[luciente]

i'm so pissed off i don't even have words for it.

omg.

Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus ), Australia. The most toxic venom of any snake. Maximum yield recorded (for one bite) is 110mg. That would porbably be enough to kill over 100 people or 250,000 mice. These rare snakes are vitually unknown in collections outside of Australia.

[gooeyiguana]

ohhhhhhh.. i hope i did the right thing about my first hosting returns... i'm really worried about those laggers (missed deadline folks) and that they are going to be annoyed..... but i'm new at this... EEEEK... hosting can bite, huh?

I finished videotaping AGAIN for my national boards - but can't watch it because my love is watching Amazing Race. DANG IT.

I'm wickedly tired. Reallly. Wickedly. Tired.

[tanagee]

I thought about lobstergirl as I drove past her 'hood today...I still have not met any of the LA Nervousness syndicate.:(

Other than the technicolor chunky 'lung oysters' i feel fine, a little post nasal drip is all. I have not coughed up anything of this consistency since I stopped smoking. (TMI)

I am one huge anxiety attack.

[TangoAlphaMike]

I just left my sister-in-law at Target.

I spent too much money.

I have this really great idea for a book. The characters are very interesting and I think the book would be a hit. The problem is I can't write books. I wonder how much it would cost or if it would be worth it to hire a writer?

[Christine_0701]

Tam, if it interests me as well, I might be interested in co-authoring it with you (i'm majoring in Creative Writing)

oops, make that double minoring, also in English

my tummy hurts

[black_rainbow]

ok can i play too...

1. my middle name is hollie
2. i am obsessed with toe-sox
3. i'll be 22yrs old in 24 days

[luciente]

sure, black rainbow. good to have you.

i just printed checks. i didn't want to.

oh! i have cake.

[lemur]

I like Monet. Quite a rebel at the time, green dress and all that. Certainly better than some people to hold the moniker of 'artist'. (who said pollock?)

However, I wanted to be Art Nazi. It has grown on me.

Gwensmom's bad luck has spread! Our furnace is not working. In our case though, we started having problems at Christmas and they were all oh yeah we'll have to get a replacement part-right after Christmas. They still haven't come with it and it's freezing. Asses.

[Jacey]

Don't dis' the man, man. Okay, sure, he was a little off his nut, and really created messes rather then art, but he's my hero...okay? Don't mess with a girl's hero.

Oh, and I have to go to work today. First time in almost two weeks. And it sucks.

And what the hell am I doing posting first thing in the morning? I have four kids to get up and get ready for school.

[whiteraven]

I like Monet. He was quite the rebel and did things no body had ever done before in spite of all the criticism he got.

His gardens at Giverney are fabulous. Planted just for the purpose of having excellent colors to paint.

He painted far more than waterlillies. My favorite is his wife Chamille dressed in Asian clothing. It hangs in the MFA Boston and is enourmous. The details are amazing.

[gwensmom]

I did a detailed analysis of expected expenses until my next pay period and I think I can make it until then if I don't buy anything except food, gas and a haircut. I still have a lot of stamps so mailing can continue uninterrupted. Plus I will be getting a $45 reimbursement check from work soon.

Gwensdad was being a jerk this morning :mad: I acted like one back.:unsure:

What was Theresa was so pissed off about? I hope it's all better now.

[gwensmom]

Monet is ok but I would rather be Matisse.

I have to go on a field trip to the circus with Gwen's class on Friday. These field trips just wear me out.

We don't have ballet next week which means no casserole sales :(. Oh well, at least i won't have to spend the weekend cooking.

[Zhenechka]

I am well-acquainted with Monet's oeuvre and his place in art history. One can appreciate something without liking it. I just don't like Monet outside of a couple train stations. Not my cup of tea, which is nice, because if we all liked Monet best, who would like the other kiddies in the sandbox?

I'd really like to be Franz Marc...or Marc Chagall...or Michelangelo...or Malevich...or Master Theodorik...or Toyen.

I'm going to go look up finger-printing services now. Oh joy!

[ebandit]

I do like Monet...in fact he is one of my favorites....but lets face it...I don't paint that way so don't want to "be Monet"

I am amazed at the different kinds of art I like...such as Miro - exquisite in simplicity yet begs to be looked at again and again....

I am sending good vibes to Theresa, Gwensmom and Lemur (yes even the art supply whore, child abandoning LEMUR!!!)

[whiteraven]

I don't paint like Monet either. More like the Fauvists.

I like a huge diversity of artists as well. Chagall, Van Gogh, Modigliani, Miro, Margitte, Matissee, etc.

I've never seen a Chagall in person though I would love to. And, no, it wouldnt be any fun if we all liked the same things. Which of course is why there are so many different types of art!

[Lilac]

The roads are terrible here.

I'm afraid I may get in an accident....not because of my driving, but because of some of those other idiots out there.


What the heck is this "furnace" thing that's affecting all us Nervousers???

[luciente]

I've never seen a Chagall in person though I would love to.

A Chagall in person is a singular experience. I saw something he painted of Washington DC, which is basically where I grew up, and I think I will be impressed for the rest of my life.

I emailed someone about a job at 8:02. I hope those two minutes don't cost me a chance.

I need a book to read.

[luciente]

What was Theresa was so pissed off about? I hope it's all better now.

well, one of the things H and son do is play this online video game. it takes up her computer. and i get stuck doing all this work related crap. printing checks, checking balances. i would much rather the video game ended for one minute, and some of those chores got split.:yell:

i am sick of the video game. like, officially.:spank:

and then, one of her student loan accounts took a payment from my checking. WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. :blink:and they're saying there's no way that could have happened. but she didn't have the account info to set it up to be taken from my account. where does that leave me? grr.

i'm in a better mood though, really. :cool:i can't be stuck with all the bank chores again today because i just did them yesterday.

[Helquin]

One more comment regarding the "Monet" designation: among certain gay male friends of mine a "Monet" is what we call some guy who looks like a hottie from a distance, but up close turns out to be a real mess. :lol:

There's a pop-culture source for this term, but I can't remember if it's from a TV series (like Kids In the Hall) or a film (could be anything from Boys In the Band to To Wong Foo). :huh:

It looks like my last sane neighbor is moving out today. :( And I'm already feeling an odd mix of despair & paranoia from reading too much Joe Bageant.

Here's a prescription for a 2-minute smile: "Jackie Wilson Says," by Dexy's Midnight Runners. Thank you, Dolly! :)

[nymphette]

<sigh> i never get to play here anymore..... :(

anyone have a recipe for muffins or a loaf that takes ground pecans??? anyone??? i'm desperate!!!

i've looked on the net, but nothing sounds good and i dont' wanna trust something that hasn't been 'tested' to be good.....

[whiteraven]

[QUOTE=luciente]A Chagall in person is a singular experience. I saw something he painted of Washington DC, which is basically where I grew up, and I think I will be impressed for the rest of my life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I went to an art gallery in Orlando recently just because they have 2 Chagall's there. Of course, they were on loan for an exhibit so I didn't get to see them! *sigh* One of these days.

My aunt's boss owns the gallery I went to and he is a huge art collector. He has 3 Chagall's of his own at home. Lucky SOB

My favorite glass artist is Chihuly.

[nymphette]

chris took julian for his eye exam two weeks ago and julian 'refused' to get the eye drops in to dilate his eyes.... so i went on monday to make sure he got them.... it took the dr. and i to hold him down but it got done....

he has to get a stronger prescription and be seen again in six months.... :(

and if that doesn't correct his eye, then we are looking at surgery.... i have to find out what that involves because i just don't think i can do another major surgery with any of my kids.... not this soon.... but i guess if that is what it will take to fix it, then....... sigh... poor baby.....

hopefully the new rx will do the trick....

[nymphette]

my muffins (well, actually tiny loaves) are in the oven... i used an orange cranberry loaf recipe and added the ground pecans in it....

i hope it turns out....

i just realized that i have done baking every week since i got home from the hospital!!! i'm pretty proud of being that back in the loop... :p

[ebandit]

my muffins (well, actually tiny loaves) are in the oven... i used an orange cranberry loaf recipe and added the ground pecans in it....

i hope it turns out....

It should be wonderful...the ground pecans will make it moister and add a delightful flavor.

I wonder if Helquin would consider me a "Monet"

I love to add ground flax seed to bread for extra moistness and flavor.

I cheat and use the bread machine.

[Christine_0701]

what is his prescription fixing, robyn?

if it's just a lazy eye, then the surgery (unless some problem crops up) will be about 1.5-3 hours, and he'll go home the same day

at least, that's how it's SUPPOSED to happen....I wasn't that lucky

[gwensmom]

It's the movie Clueless. Cher says it about Amber.

I seriously doubt that Gene is a Monet.

I just heard a way feminist sermon given by a male southern baptist minister. Maybe there is hope!

[kittymao]

i'm in an arty mood.
steppin' out for lunch, hooray!
uhm, miss me a little, okay?

[ebandit]

Yep Clueless:
Tai: Do you think she's pretty?
Cher: No, she's a full-on Monet.
Tai: What's a monet?
Cher: It's like a painting, see? From far away, it's OK, but up close, it's a big old mess. Let's ask a guy. Christian, what do you think of Amber?
Christian: Hagsville.
Cher: See?

My research for the day! LOL lookng up a movie quote - I shoulda known Gwensmom was correct.

I am amazed that there is a MALE Southern BAPTIST could give a feminist sermon without getting zapped by lightning!

[nymphette]

It should be wonderful...the ground pecans will make it moister and add a delightful flavor.

I love to add ground flax seed to bread for extra moistness and flavor.

I cheat and use the bread machine.

it turned out really quite good... :)

i too cheat and use my bread machine- but i dont' like to cook the bread in it... i'll use it to make dough for buns/bread, etc....

i love flax seed.... i love multi grain bread... i am out of yeast though, so no bread for me.... until i get groceries and i think i better get some flax seed!!!

[nymphette]

what is his prescription fixing, robyn?

if it's just a lazy eye, then the surgery (unless some problem crops up) will be about 1.5-3 hours, and he'll go home the same day

at least, that's how it's SUPPOSED to happen....I wasn't that lucky

yeah, it's for strabismus... they were sure it would correct itself quicker than this, with the rx he first got....

:'( but it hasn't...

it came about really quick- within a week of his eye turning occasionally, it was fully crossed... i was in edmonton for harrison's tx assessment, the week before his surgery, when it happened..... so i wasn't here to pick out glasses for him either....

and the ones daddy chose have broken four times!!! i currently have four pairs of nike flexible glasses frames on my kitchen table that i tried on him today... we aren't covered for a nother pair, only the one through the supplementary health coverage, every two years i think... but hopefully because it's a health related thing, and not just 'i want new frames' then it'll be okay.....

[nymphette]

i've been thinking about asking my momma to go to church with me, and the kids, at easter....

i haven't been to church for......... um........ about 13 years.........

i never had much faith back then and i've lost it since.... i still want to convert to judaism, but it looks harder and harder to do all the time..... but it's the only religion that sparks anything in me....

[nymphette]

i think maybe deep down, i am hoping i'll find god.. or jesus.. or whoever it is you find... and then things in my life will start going well....

and my brother can say 'i told you so'....

i'm not sure what it will take to convince me.... a lot though.... that i know....

[lemur]

You could become a messianic, nymphette. They usually have mixed congregations-though life never goes as you plan it, no matter what your denomination.

I have been cleaning. I have made some 'executive decisions' about things to throw out-no one else needs to know what. heheh

My hands are itchy from the rubber gloves I was wearing. I think I may be allergic-if not to the latex, more likely to the powder. But it's not major compared to the other stuff.

[gwensmom]

I am amazed that there is a MALE Southern BAPTIST could give a feminist sermon without getting zapped by lightning!

He actually got applause. But then we were in an Episcopal Church.

The good news is that we did not get charged for the guy looking at the dryer today. The not-good-but-totally-expected news is that we will have to get a new dryer. But that's ok, we can put it on the credit card and not have to pay until after a few more paychecks.

I will be taste testing a new beef and zucchini casserole tomorrow to see if it is be suitable for selling.

[luciente]

my hair is huge, unstoppable, capable of eating a large metropolitan city. i brushed it twice and put spray-in conditioner in it. that will have to suffice.

i look semi-trendy. purely accidental, i assure you.

i have an interview for monday for community organizer. i'm kind of excited about that.

[nymphette]

i got my hair chopped at a salon on friday.... while i was on my leave of absence from my family....

then i didn't have money to buy meat for groceries for the rest of the pay period.... so chris will have to buy some groceries out of his cheque if he 'needs' meat....

everyone we saw on monday (appts...) kept commenting on my hair and how i 'look like a new woman'.... i'm just glad to get all that hair chopped off so i can blow and go!!!!! :p

[Christine_0701]

yeah, the doctors thought wearing patches and prescriptions would fix mine too, but nope

and my sister STILL has a lazy eye (she never got the surgery)

3rd fact? oh yeah! Do you have the Healthy Kids program in SK? (not sure if it's just a BC thing)....if you do, you should see about getting him on it (it covers new glasses every 2 years, or whenever inbetween if it's for a drastic prescription change), as wella s the appointments, and dentists too. it's really good

[Christine_0701]

Zap Mama sounds like an interesting band...not to hunt down some music

However, I'm' not sure how to pronounce Daulne

the joys of readin 20 pages for class

[Christine_0701]

Juluka is another interesting band name

I didn't win on my living large lottery ticket :(

there's still the slim chance i won the internet contest, tho

[bluecrayon]

I just looked at an apartment for rent with the bathroom down the hall (for 12 people to share).

I feel I am on a horizontal slide which is slowly, but steadily edging into the sea

going full circle back to poverty is interesting.

[Zhenechka]

I just woke up from a nap. Oops.

I'd really like some cake but I'll settle for pita with bean dip.

It's cold in here.

[nymphette]

i think i'll put garbanzo beans and lemons on the grocery list.... i'm feeling hummous-y... mmmmm....

the cat we borrowed finally caught a mouse.. the night that we decided to give her one more week before sending her home, she finally started to pull her weight...

she still goes home in a week though....

[nymphette]

i just realized exactly what our missing cd cases (from when the car was stolen) means to me.... :'(

i just replaced a cd by a canadian folk group about two years ago that i couldn't find since 1991.... and it's gone for good and how can i replace it again???

not to mention all my tragically hip cd's, my northern pikes, tom petty, blue rodeo, stevie ray vaughn, david wilcox, eric clapton, barenaked ladies.............. trailing off here because it's overwhelming to think about how much i lost... been too busy to think about it before now, but i was just searching for my billy joel greatest hits volume 1 and 2 discs............ and realized where they are... were...... :boohoo:

[Lilac]

Awwwww! Poor Robyn! That stuff really sucks. I'm sorry.


If it will make you feel any better, I think I might have some old Milli Vanilli tapes around here somewhere! :lol:


The same thing happened to me once. Well, my car didnt get stolen, but someone broke in to my car, broke my stereo trying to pry it out and took all my CD's.

[zanna]

i finally posted some of the hanson pictures i took yesterday in the other day thread.

i think they came out pretty alright seeing as how they were taken with my cellphone.

i need to take a picture of the back of my cellphone where i got taylor to sign it. i have a piece of clear tape covering it now. hopefully it won't wear away too fast.

[ReallyStrangeGirl]

I don't mind being Monet as long as it's Count de Monet.

As for his art, I can take it or leave it.

Personally I'd rather be Frida Kahlo.

[TangoAlphaMike]

Monet is okay but I love Kandinsky and Theibaud! I'm talking worship love!

I am eating spinach leaves and tuna. Yummy! I wish I could get my boys to eat this stuff.

I think my story should be called, GREED, are titles of books underlined and/or all in caps?

[Christine_0701]

I'm beginning to feel out of the loop here, as I don't know much about any artist out there, Monet, Da Vinci, Theibaud, none of them

Nor do I know much about any art style (cubism comes to mind)

I feel very art dumb :lol:

[TangoAlphaMike]

That's okay I feel very literature dumb! Don't start talking about that or I'll be lost!!:lol:

Maybe would could help each other! :D

My husband is getting tired of being my human spell checker! :rolleyes:

[gwensmom]

:eek: :eek: :eek: My ballet class has been cancelled until mid-April! That's SIX WEEKS! The ballet teacher has been sick and exhausted and needs a break. That I can completely understand.

Of course this means six weeks of no casserole sales, but it also means six weeks of freedom from cooking all weekend. So it balances out.

Also, I can go to Monday night knit-ins at the knit shop and church on Wednesday nights if I want to. Also, the class decided that just because we are not dancing doesn't mean we cant all go out to eat a time or two.

[damblues]

I am just cruising around checking everything out. I thought I was replying to a timely topic but realize it was two years old... HA! So I deleted it because it would make absolutely no darn sense.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

helloooo everyone! i'm still alive and stuff. i finally got my internet back today...hurrah!

i'm pregnant! i'm a little over 2 month now. i'm scared to death, but happy and excited too. i don't know...there are too many emotions to count. but yeah...wow.

there's no other news. nothing else has changed, but at the same time, everything has changed. madness. hope you're all doing good! i'm around :)

[Christine_0701]

heeey Jaime!!!! gah, I still haven't sent out the paper crane instructions...do you even still need them?

congrats on getting pregnant...I guess the Nervy water isn't quite clear yet, eh? :lol:

i'm watching Lost!

[Helquin]

i just realized exactly what our missing cd cases (from when the car was stolen) means to me.... :'(

.............. trailing off here because it's overwhelming to think about how much i lost... :boohoo:
I can so relate, Nymphette: I felt much the same way for at least 2 years after I sold all of my vinyl albums to help pay my way to Florida in 1999. So much that was genuinely irreplaceable (and tragically hip!) -- but at the time I thought I'd never see a turntable again, so what the heck.

My brother told me this year that he bought a turntable he found on E-Bay. &lt;_&lt;

I've been playing the harmonica tonight, but it's really more of a noise than a song. :lol:

[colorangel]

I need to find some sort of balance between keep-up-with-life stuff and artwork.

My son's 13th birthday is Friday.

We will have two teens living in the house :eek:

[Zhenechka]

i'm pregnant! i'm a little over 2 month now. i'm scared to death, but happy and excited too. i don't know...there are too many emotions to count. but yeah...wow.

Congratulations! You're like the fourth person I know to announce her preganancy this week. Hooray babies!

I'm up ealier-ish which means that I could 1. take care of the garbage, 2. carve a stamp, or 3. do some reading.

I think that I will opt for number 2. Yeah, I'm addicted.

I let the car out and with all the snow and what not, the neighbor has practically blocked out stairway. :mad:

[gwensmom]

Yay Jaime's back and with a bun in the oven! congratulations! Are you going to find out whether it is a girl or a boy or wait and be surpised?

[lemur]

Congratulations, Jaime!

Someone is calling, but I never answer the phone if it comes up 'unknown name, unknown number'. If they don't want me to know who they are, then I don't want to talk to them.:rolleyes:

My grandma is coming to visit!!! :wub:


Many things were thrown out yesterday. It tired me out-I think I am going to go back to bed.

[Lilac]

Someone is calling, but I never answer the phone if it comes up 'unknown name, unknown number'. If they don't want me to know who they are, then I don't want to talk to them.:rolleyes:




I do the same thing, lemur.


I'm thinking about taking my son to Europe this summer...but I don't know which country I want to visit. I can't afford to go touring. I'm thinking maybe Scotland or Ireland, because I've never been there myself.


My sister wants to do the Aruba thing, but I'm not really into it. I hate the "touristy" locales.

[nymphette]

If it will make you feel any better, I think I might have some old Milli Vanilli tapes around here somewhere! :lol:


:rofl:

sure, i was a big fan, back in the day..... :p

heh heh!!! thanks for the laugh lilac!!! :D

[nymphette]

hello jaime!!!! glad you got internet again and it's good to see you back!!!

BOTH of you!!! ;) hurrah for another nervousness baby!!!

wow!!!

[Lilac]

Babies and broken furnaces...that's what's going around on Nervousness! :lol:


Congratulations, Jaimie...on not having the broken furnace! ;)


Now....who's next?

[Zhenechka]

Now....who's next?

Well, it won't be either Ptichka or me. There's too much extra effort involved for that to happen.

It's sunny in my office.

I'm going to go try out the magenta block-printing ink now.

[lemur]

Well, it won't be either Ptichka or me.

Watch your furnace then.

[Zhenechka]

Watch your furnace then.

Heh. I'm hoping the week without hot water this winter will keep the furnace demons away.

[tanagee]

Now....who's next?

Hopefully me (the baby not the broken furnace.)

:yay: Jaime! Is it a surprise? A happy one I hope.


My hubby left for siriustells neck of the woods late last night.

I need to reschedule my typing test, AGAIN! I have no one to watch the kiddo.

I am afraid to answer the phone until we get our mortgage paid.

[Christine_0701]

You should go to Prague, Lilac.

2 weeks ago when Russ (astronomy teacher) was talking about it, it made me yearn to go there, and see the old buildings, and the old churches, and Kepler's and Brahe's places

*sigh* Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever get to go overseas

[Zhenechka]

You should go to Prague, Lilac.

I was going to suggest Prague but I'm totally biased, although Kathy will back me up on this.

I haven't moved from my desk.

I'm debating what I should read next.

I think that my space heater is on its last legs.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

Yay Jaime's back and with a bun in the oven! congratulations! Are you going to find out whether it is a girl or a boy or wait and be surpised?

:) helloooo! we haven't decided yet. i really want to know, but he kinda wants to wait. ;) so, i guess we'll see what happens...

thanks for all the congratulations everyone! it's nice to be surrounded by all the positive energy. i've spent too much time being stressed and worried :p.

This was a huge surprise. i thought i had mono or something....:lol:. i'm so up and down and happy and excited and scared and worried. it's madness i tell ya.

[Cellissimo]

*Pokes head up like a chipmonk at the merest whisper of Prague* YES!! Go to Prague.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/cellissimo/CharlesBridge.gif

I get homesick for Prague sometimes. I was going to move there, but an illness in the family prevented me. I didn't want to be heartless, but there are so many times these days when I think "I should have just got up and moved to Prague.

I would love to wander through the windy, medieval streets again. There was this one time I got so totally lost, but I found a wonderful bookstore, tucked away in an ancient cobblestone alley. I tried to find it again the next day, but I couldn't, even though I thought I was retracing my steps. Prague is mysterious like that...

[luciente]

*Pokes head up like a chipmonk at the merest whisper of Prague* YES!! Go to Prague.

next time you go, i'd like to come too! i know how to ahoj!

someone called me to ask if i could be their lawyer. yeah, i could. if i had a license. not yet, lady. not yet.

i had a bureaucratic snarl yesterday. must fix it today!

[an-su]

What about being a Bosch at some level ? ;) (I dream one day to get to go to the Prado Museum to see "The garden of earthly delights")

I feel way too enthouiastic about this terms spanish classes, I hope this will continue until june :)

I have a bit of backache.

[Zhenechka]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v45/untrou/IMG_1010.jpg

It would be swell if we could pick our own artists. Yeah.

I haven't read a blessed thing today.

Maybe I'll join the cat on the bed for a nap.

[nymphette]

Babies and broken furnaces...that's what's going around on Nervousness! :lol:


Congratulations, Jaimie...on not having the broken furnace! ;)


Now....who's next?

our hot water heater broke a couple months ago... does that count???

if not, then furnace made a funny... sorta winding down with a rattle sound... last night when i cut the heat out... i'm hoping it was only because i turned it off before it hit the temp it was set at...... :O

but no more babies here..... ever.... EVAH!!!

[Lilac]

Oooh...Nymphette...my hot water heater bit the dust last summer. Had to replace it.


Now it seems as if my fridge is on the verge of quitting on me.



It's making all these strange "barking" sounds. I'm going to spray the motor with WD40 when i get home tonight.

[ReallyStrangeGirl]

Babies and broken furnaces...that's what's going around on Nervousness! :lol:


Congratulations, Jaimie...on not having the broken furnace! ;)


Now....who's next?

NOT ME!
Bring on the broken furnace! :lol:

[whiteraven]

There must be an epidemic of broken hot water heaters, furnaces and such.

My sister-in-law said their boiler went,the washer's motor is burning out and their dryer is shot.

I hope the epidemic doesn't affect me!

[nymphette]

our only stroke of luck so far with things gone wrong here is that we didn't have to get a NEW water heater- it was just the elements that needed to be replaced....

i thought chris was crazy when he said it was an element.. it hought those things were heated by GAS....

but it's electric.... <shrug> who knew....

[Cellissimo]

I have decided each of my posts in 3RF will have a picture of Prague.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/cellissimo/view.gif

Leave behind your broken furnaces and water heaters and come with me to Prague! Doesn't an N'ness group trip sound like fun? :D

We read the poetry of Rilke for class last night. He was born in Prague, lived in Paris, and died in Switzerland.

[Zhenechka]

Geesuz Cripes, woman, you're breaking my heart!

I'll come, though! I'll come! And may I suggest a trip to Budapest and Slovakia while we're there?

Rilke. I've always really loved him. Especially that poem about preparing a corpse for burial.

[lemur]

Ooh such lovely pictures!

Sometimes I think I'd like to travel, but deep in my heart I know I am a homebody-and would rather be surrounded by my fabric stash than travel the world anyway. Of course I could get more fabric from around the world...

I went downtown today to talk about a commission. So much calligraphy and I am so lazy.

I have become obsessed with throwing junk out. Quite a job at our house.

[Cellissimo]

This one is a pretty touristy spot, but still a very, very nice walk:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/cellissimo/05_prague_museum_district.gif

Behind the statue of King Wencelaus (SP?) is the National Museum filled with a stupefying amount display cases of rocks, insects, and the like. There was a cool recent history display that I enjoyed.

I love the poetry of Rilke, and I'd recommend reading. If you're fluent in German, then you have an advantage to enjoying his poetry.

P.S. Lemur, I'd travel to Japan just to buy fabric!

[luciente]

hey! i've been married a year today.

i found a piece of chocolate!

The Czechs are famous for their died indigo fabric. And you could get your Czech seed beads from the source!

Happy anniversary Theresa!

I just carved another stamp. This must stop!

I need to come up with a design to commit to lino, now.

The grave of Czech national poet, Karel Hynek Macha in Slavin.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v45/untrou/img266.jpg

So, how about you hit them with Prague Kathy, and I'll show them what's beyond it? There is no resisting the Czech Republic.

[kamoke]

well, its been so friggin long...

i realized that this page was the only thing that was keeping me entertained at home

and, um, i still have nothing to say!

hey laRRiSSa!blue!helquin!velma!

:D hahaha!

take care!

[Larrissa]

im in circuit city, the boy is getting something computer related, and it would appear this computer here has inteenet access, rock on

um, hello to you too mister K! and hello to the rest of you tooooooo.

uuummmm, theres some radio thing playing quietly out of this machine and i dont know how to turn it off.

NTS: log out!

[Cellissimo]

Seems like we have several returning Nnessers! :yay:

Oh, I agree Zhenechka! The CR is more than just Prague. Karlovy Vary, although somewhat touristy, is beautiful. I stayed in this little pension that was also a farm. My room looked over an apple orchard.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/cellissimo/kvview.jpg


And Cesky Krumlov is dreamy. I remember falling asleep to the sounds of the church bells. And I stayed at one of the best pensions there.

YOU!!! ^^^^^^^ YOU!!!

There's this thing that's haunting me. It stares at me every day. And only you can help me exorcise it from my desk. Tell me where you live, and send me your damn address. I'll even have to repack it, because I don't know what the hell is going on anymore....confused? Yeah me too.

It's almost a Nness reunion....one or two (or three or twenty) more and we're good to go.

The inside a Best Buy store actually makes me physically ill. I can't set foot in one. I wonder if it would be the same in a Circuit City.

[lemur]

im in circuit city, the boy is getting something computer related, and it would appear this computer here has inteenet access, rock on

Only you would do that larrissa.

Oh and yes Japanese fabric-oohhh.

There are a number of N'nessers I'd like to see back.

Must-

out.

Hluboka nad Vltavou:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v45/untrou/IMG_0452.jpg

I don't remember where I put my wine.

The split peas must be old because they're taking forever to cook.

I wonder when Ptichka will get home...

[ebandit]

I saw a Kamoke post....but he didn't say Hi to me...now I am sad!

I got Red ATCs in the mail today. Some very good work!

I sent out Purple ATCs today.....not my best work I am afraid. I did about 10 of them and finally sent out 4. I had a hard time getting inspired for it.

[tanagee]

I rescheduled my typing test, (although by now the position is probably already filled) and applied online for another one at a different hospital.

No one showed up at playgroup today (probabaly thought it was gonna rain again) so me and Meg went to the movies and saw the Pooh movie. It was her first theatre movie so I took a picture of her. (I have that and more pix to post)

After that we went to the mall and bought crap we didn't need or could afford, and saw the Easter Bunny. (another picture)


Bonus Fact: I went out to my car and there was a flyer for a psychic on my windshield and I wondered: If they were truly psychic wouldn't they *KNOW* I didn't want a flyer? ;)

Bonus fact #2 : I am in love with the English Breakfast Tea Latte at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. :wub:

[Christine_0701]

hee. the author I listened to yesterday had a funny story about being in germany

long story short, hotels there don't provide free soap and shampoo, and the people @ the conference didn't know, so he was selling extra bars of soap he had for 5 bucks a piece :lol:

ahhh, that was a good talk ;) much better than going to astronomy

[whiteraven]

Other than Canada, the only other country I've been to is France. In May '99 I spent 2 weeks in Provence painting. It was heavenly. I'm hoping I can go back one of these days. Lack of money is the only thing that keeps me from hopping aboard the next plane out.

My one and only art instructor teaches in Provence occassionaly. She has some amazing connections there. A friend of hers runs the art school in Aix-en-Provence and he also lives in Cezanne's old house. Last time Nan took her students to France they actually got to go paint at Cezanne's place and she somehow managed to get the folks who own the sanitarium where Van Gogh lived to let them paint in his old room. Amazing! I wish I'd been there. *sniff*

I miss the Eiffel tower. My one night in Paris(before taking the train to Deiulefit, Provence) was so enchanting I have longed for it ever since.

Bonus fact: I got absolutely no art work done today, which is highly unusual for me. I guess I spent too much time doing home repairs, laundry and other mundane tasks. Now I don't have the energy to create. Maybe I'll dig out my photos from France for inspiration...

[luciente]

Happy anniversary Theresa!

I just carved another stamp. This must stop!

I need to come up with a design to commit to lino, now.

hey thanks!

yeah. you've got me itchin to carve stuff too.

the first linocut i want to do coordinates with a line of bukowski.

[Christine_0701]

I've only been to Canada and the USA

my mom went to spain last year :P lucky duck

I wanna go abroad!!!!!!

[Lilac]

Hmmm...I've never been to Prague. Those pictures have almost convinced me to make that my summer destination. I wonder how expensive it would be (in comparison to say, Paris or London)

Would a child of 11 enjoy Prague?

It'd be a lot more educational than Disneyworld, that's for sure!

[gwensmom]

Gwensdad's dog got some new arthritis medicine and now he is prancing around like a pup!

We will be dryer shopping on Saturday. Just the way I wanted to spend my weekend!

*sigh* once again i am dead tired and Gwensdad is all frisky.

[Christine_0701]

educational for sure!!! just think of all the historical astronomy stuff you could teach him :p

I need to read more of my astronomy book, come to mention it

stupid classes....i can't wait till the semester is over (that's not say I want to end b/c of a strike)

[hammerquill]

Happy belated anniversary, Theresa (& Heidi)!

I just got an ATC from Theresa.

I wonder if she got a package from me.

I owe her an e-mail.

[hammerquill]

Prague used to be dirt cheap compared to Paris and London. I hear it's doing its best to catch up, but it's probably still a lot cheaper.

I've never been there, though.

You should consider waiting till the kid's old enough to drink beer, though.

[ebandit]

You should consider waiting till the kid's old enough to drink beer, though.

But Reed, he is eleven.....why wait? heheheh...I am so bad!

MY cat doesn't want me to get up from the chair and go to work
Bandit (cat) is so warm and soft laying here in my lap...I hate to leave..but work beckons.

[Zhenechka]

I think that eleven may be the legal drinking age in the CR. :lol:

If you go, have a Gambrinus for me! Oh yum!

I did twenty-one prints of my crane print last night. Five turned out. What should I do with the rejects?

[Christine_0701]

how big are they? you could do a "reject ATC swap" with 7 other people, where they do 2 with the rejects and 1 other of their choice?

i feel like I should be doing something special today b/c I put on makeup, the whole shabang, and even different than usual too

I think I should get a pair of no-frame glasses for when I want to wear dramatic eye makeup because it becomes so much less dramatic when you have bold frames like I do

[Lilac]

Argh...I'm getting a cold sore. That means I either need more sleep or I'm coming down with something. Those are the only times I get a cold sore.


I was going to take my kid up to Niagra Falls for Easter Break, but since he had so many snow days this year, Easter break has been cut down to one day.


I'm in a traveling mode; feeling restless, I guess.

[TangoAlphaMike]

I love reading what you guys are up too!

I have a giant growing pile of clean laundry to fold.

I am going to do something artsy and totally ignore it again, for another week!

[an-su]

I keep my fingers crossed so that it wouldn't rain tomorrow.

That's because I am willing to go to see two exhibitions : Joseph Beuys, and Adolf Born.

I wish we had some icecream at home.
