Three random facts:

[Curlita]

Tana, maybe I'm misremembering. It's been a long time since I read the book. I remember that the father was onto the guy, but now I'm not sure about the creep getting caught. Hmmm. Sorry, Theresa!

BC, I was also my current height (5'11") in seventh grade. The boys called me "Beast."

Having aired that childhood wound, I need to plod off to work!

[bluecrayon]

Curlita! I'm sure you and I could find a lot in common concerning our childhoods --

I never got teased by the boys in school, they were my buddies and I sought refuge with them

the girls, however, were vicious sometimes and I don't think I've ever recovered...

but I understand a lot of this stuff, especially as I am a teacher dealing with it up close almost every day...

[sarahkate]

1. My nickname in 11th & 12th grade was "Beast" too! :lol: But for very different reasons. My friend Valerie started calling me that one day after I yelled at her. I was usually always so quiet and never angry, so she thought it was funny to call me a Beast & it stuck. Everyone started calling me that. In fact, most of the people who signed my senior yearbook addressed their message to "Beast" rather than Sarah.

2. Oh nooooo! The moth is missing! I was going to muster up my courage to walk into my coworker's cubicle (he isn't here this week) and let that nasty moth out the window, but I looked again and it's not there. Eeeeek. It's like in Halloween when Jamie Lee Curtis's character looks out the window and Mike Myers is no longer laying on the ground. :o

3. I'm hungry. Wow, it's lunch time & I didn't even know it. Maybe I should go to the grocery store and buy some food for myself.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i wish i understood paypal better

2 i thought i had read (at paypal) a while ago that canadians could send, but not receive, money via it... now i'm not so convinced...

3 i need food

1. Awww thanks Robyn! :wub: I know we would have a blast if we lived near each other. :D Maybe I should move to Canada. Hmm....
1: yes. yes you should.

2: :P

3: that's all i have.

[Sirius]

- I won't sign up, because I'm not sure I can get them done in time to add to the envelope I'm going to mail her today... And any later will be too late.

You're mailing me an envelope? Anticipating mail is almost as much fun as receiving mail.

Remember, you can do them and then sign up, and I'm not as mean as I make myself out to be...I accepted late contributions for the last ones from FOUR people. I trusted that they mailed them when they said they did.

Okay, I did look at the postmarks when I reveived them, but, but....

[Sirius]

i am wearing a skirt today

thus it is windy

why does it always work that way?

[OHPossum]

1. i was flat chested forever, the boys called me Pancake
2. It's windy here, but I am wearing my cowgirl boots so I am invincible
3. i want lunch too!

[Sirius]

there is a woman on the playground outside my window with four kids who look between the ages of 18 months and four years old. they can't all be hers, right... i suppose if she really timed the pregnancies pretty quick it could work...

okay, we had a coworker conference about it...we think two of them are twins...

the mysteries we must unravel at work....

[thunderstorm_19]

(ok kinda gross warning) holy fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff that hurt. i just bit my tongue so hard i had to spit out my food.

i play spider solitaire much too much

ok TV time over... (was watching BritComs - namely 'keeping up appearances')

Oh, I had vicious girl experiences too, from 6th grade through 8th grade I was shunned. I think it made me a more self-reliant, empathetic person and it DEFINITELY taught me that being happy with myself was more important than anything else, definitely more so than trying to please other people.

My feet are swelling again. Must stop being preoccupied by feet.

Must begin doing work now that I am here behind my desk.

[thunderstorm_19]

alright! back to the telly in time to see "vesuvius: deadly fury"... groovy

i love mail

i'm still hungry

[namelessgirl]

curlita and bluecrayon, at 6'2" i feel you! they called me BFG: big friendly giant

my kitchen is a mess

must make a trip to the PO today!

[nymphette]

1: i promised julian yesterday we would get the mail today (yesterday's mail.. it still wasn't here at seven when we went yesterday <_< and i KNOW today's mail won't have a snowball's chance in hell of being here already) and take harrison in the wagon and julian could ride his bike....

2: it is thundering and lots of lightning, and rain and wind and it is freaking cold out!!!

3: and julian's bones hurt... :( he wanted to drink lots of milk to help them, and i tried to tell him that milk makes your bones strong, but won't help them to feel better when they hurt from growing... but he's had a litre anyhow, won't hurt him... ;) poor baby has been up the pst three nights with growing pains!!!

[tanagee]

I have been somewhat productive this morning; I unloaded/reloaded my dishwasher, watered my grass, re-filled the Hummingbird feeder, made a business card for a friend of my hubby, and made my hubby a lunch to take to him in a little bit.

I need to find used socks...or at least really cheap new ones.

I am unmotivated to get dressed.

[kittymao]

when I was younger I had a few nicknames- the strongest being Smelly Kelli, cause in elementary school my sister and I shared a room- she wet her bed nearly every night, and my clothes smelled like urine.

The other was Weasel- given to me by my PE teacher, cause I liked to slide into the bases in kickball.

Nowadays it's a bit more pleasant- Kitty... my Portugese friend couldn't seem to remember my name, and I was always wearing "Bad Kitty" sweatshirts, so she just called me Kitty- since then it's kind of caught on.

But Everyone jsut really calls me Kelli- cause it's just too easy to say, I don't need a nickname.

[tanagee]

on the subject of height...

my pediatrician said I'd be lucky to hit 5 feet...I am 5' 6", not tall but way taller than 5'. Makes me wonder what do THEY really know anyhow?

I am however the shortest person in my family

My 15 year old nephew is 6' and 280.

[kittymao]

I had a dream about Lilac and Christine 0701. However... it was very weird.

Cause Lilac looked like an old haggard crone that was really scary, cause I know she's not an old scary woman. Lilac gave me a white almond brownie. I then had to explain to Rudy who the Scary Old Lady was.

Then I went to Christine's house ( she was bald...)and we talked in her room ( it was all pink and frilly!)and she said that Lilac scared her too and didn't eat the brownie. Then I felt sick cause I did.

then I woke up.

[nymphette]

1: on my dad's side- the shortest is my uncle ritchie at 5'7"- the tallest my uncle todd at 6'6"... the other men, and my grandfather, are all around 5'10"- 6'2"... the women, however, my grandmother included, are all between 4'10" and five feet tall...

2: on my mom's side- my grandmother was the tallest, at 5'4", and my grandfather was only 5'3"- my mom and her two sisters and two brothers range from 5 feet to 5'5"....

3: the male cousins, in my generation, are all around six feet tall, on my mom's side... and the gals are all around 5'2"-4"...

4: bonus- my cousin megan is the exception... she's 5'9" and has a size ten foot!!!

well, both of her feet are size ten....

[namelessgirl]

i wear a women's 14 shoe

i finally got dressed today!

the mail hasn't come yet :(

[Sirius]

when i was 8 i got really made at my mom because i found out you could do a computation based on how long you were when you 18 months old to determine how tall you would be....she had 16 and 17 months, but not 18...

I was 23 3/4 inches long when I was born...

I wanted to be 5'9 when I grew up, but never made it....

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

My boyfriend's younger sister had to get her prom shoes at a store for drag queens. :lol:

Rustell, I wanted to be 6'0" and I never made it. In fact, I am 5'8 and 3/4". Rats!

[bluecrayon]

we are never what we want to be, I guess...

I always wanted to be 5'9" -- but 5'11" is what I got

and I'm okay with it...

it's just that when you're tall, you always have to look good because you're never NOT noticed...

and it took me awhile to feel comfortable having a boyfriend who wasn't taller than me -- usually they were all hovering around 6'4" --

hard to let go of some of those comfort levels we're taught...

kind of like age

but that's another topic

and how many facts are these???

[sarahkate]

1. I feel like such a shrimp. namelessgirl is a whole foot taller than me. Yes, that's right, I am 5'2!

2. I was amused to see that so many people guessed I was 5'9 on my quiz!

3. I have small feet too. I wear a size 5.5 usually. I can actually buy little kids shoes, but my feet are fat so they don't always fit correctly. I do have a pair of sneakers that are a little girl's size 3 or 4 I believe.

[siafu]

OJ9JUJOUNNJUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUJUUUUUUUUUUUUJ9OU0UP;UJ UUJ

[bluecrayon]

I'm sitting here in the clinic using my friend's laptop

I'm waiting for another test I have to undergo

I'm spinning through the forums trying to not be nervous (and no pun intended!)

and what language did Siafu just post in?????

1. Whoa! Are you ok siafu? Dancing on your keyboard again? :P

2. I hope bluecrayon's tests go ok. Going to the doctors is scary.

3. I need to go the dentist SOON. My boyfriend just went the other day because last Friday night he was flossing and a piece of one of his teeth fell out! Luckily it was towards the back of his mouth. He had to have a filling.

[Sirius]

I am really surprised that so many people are missing one question in particular on the Quiz I made...I thought I talked about it regularly. I was so convinced of such I had to search....and was surprised...

A hint for anyone who has not taken the quiz yet...

Sept 24, 2003
1. My BA is also in history.
2. It did not come in handy when I spent years as a stockbroker.
3. It is not coming in handy now as an Activities Director.

Nov. 13, 2003
.....if that copper contraption inside my body has failed to achieve it's function then it is possible....
...but if I am medeous (and not I) was the first to know....
Not so random facts, for the record
1. I have no desire to be pregnant.
2. I am heavily leaning towards the "I'm never going to have children because I want to be child-free" side of the fence.
3. I do like children (I gave up being a stock broker to work at a community center and am getting my master's degree in education w/ teacher certification) just haven't had the yearning to have my own.

August 29, 2003
My theme for today's random fact post is my facts relating to moriah's facts.

1. I decide to switch jobs this year and cut my income by 60%. Egads, this is hard to live with. Take your income, multiple it by 0.4, see that number, that's the equivalent of what I did. Someone told me money couldn't buy happiness, and I thought I'd test the theory.

2. I've gotten my Pepsi habit to be Pepsi One and I am down to three a day. I had managed to quit Pepsi cold turkey for about 8 months...then I decided to try Pepsi One when it came out. Extra Fact: Pepsi is the only thing I've ever been addicted to...

3. I currently work as an Activities Director for a Community Center. I used to be a Financial Planner. I still sell insurance "on the side"

[Lilac]

Good luck Blue Crayon! I was wondering (in the "I'm wearing" post) why you would be sitting around your house in a vomit green hospital gown! :lol: :lol:

I know how scary it is sitting around waiting for test results and I'm glad to hear that you at least have the comfort of a laptop!!!

I did not have that luxury when I was sitting around waiting for my test results over a year ago.

*saying silent prayer for Bluecrayon*

[OHPossum]

i finally had lunch

this makes this my 5th post of the day and each had a f about lunch

when I was catching up i read a F that I thought was siafu's but it was about making her hubby lunch and bringing it to him at work.. Hunh? i said to myself... then I actually read the name, it was tana. you south parkers all look exactly the same to me...

[tanagee]

I think I did fairly well on sirius' quiz concidering I am a relative newcomer here.

Hubby called...had "better" plans for lunch so Me and Megan had egg salad sandwiches.

sirius' wind is also here, it is actually causing my house to creak.

:hug: Sending positive vibes to bluecrayon :hug:

[nymphette]

1: i suck at quizzes.... i always put myself in the quizzer's place and answer what I would say....

2: hence the multitude of failings on the quizzes...

3: that and typing quicker than i think!!!

[OHPossum]

i think i might want a cowgirl south park avatar

i think i might have a mragarita tonight at dinner

i think i will cry if tomorrow isn't warmer

[Curlita]

I have special needs feet I wear an 11W, sometimes 11WW. AND the shoes need to have a lot of built-in arch support, or I need to be able to wear my orthotics with them AND they need to have enough of a heel that my heels don't end up hurting.

I've never minded being tall as much as I mind my special needs feet.

And I didn't know that I was supposed to dress well because I was noticable! How will I change my schlumpy ways now???

1: thank god i'm short!!! (5'2")

2: all y'all tall peoples can just look over my head while i admire how well dressed you are!!! ;)

3: the sound of the wind is making me edgy..... i'm feeling very overstimulated right now...!!!! and still need a nap...

[OHPossum]

1. OMG!!! How cool! Can you make her/me have big boobs, too?

2. I'm not blond anymore, I have gone au naturel-- is there a dishwater color for hair?

3. Theresa is a peach

[thunderstorm_19]

oh, I'm hardly a fashion plate! :lol:

it's more the posture and making sure my buttons are buttoned and my hair is not too extremely subversive --

but... looking good is sweet revenge sometimes! And since everyone's gonna notice me anyway -- ?????

[OHPossum]

1- the best revenge is feeling oh so happy in your own skin you could just kiss yourself

2-here is a link to the recent partying chez moi wuth The Girls.
http://homepage.mac.com/hrudiger/PhotoAlbum19.html

3-Please notice the healthy breakfast, and disregard the unhealthy dinner

[Sirius]

i had to look at all the ohpossum pictures....the whole lotta hollis picture is great, oh yea, sure, adorbale girls, fantastic dog, we really wanted to spy into the possum pictures...

i usually wear my hair down, and it is pretty much straight. when it was wet this morning i round it up and put it in a clip on top of my head...why did i not stop to realize that it was going to be a big ball of curly poof if i set it free mid day

i have a confusing pile of both work and personal stuff on my desk. one stack with things to take care of for work, and home (like my mother's day cards, it is only a little over two weeks away, they'll go in tomorrows outgoing mail...)

[medeous]

1. a child i trusted stole from me today
2. then she lied about it
3. then she wrote me an "apology" full of denials and excuses.

:|

[siafu]

the deal-io is this, pals. my laptop is a piece of increasingly useless refuse from the left armpit of hades. well, not the cpu, just the keyboard. i'm going to have to hook up a full-size keyboard. but i have to clean off my art desk to do it. so i'm typing on heidi's machine.

i made pigeon peas and rice for heidi's lunch. whoo-wee! it's :evil:

i have these two teeth that are sore, right? so i'm thinking, aw shoot. i have cavities. so i go to the dentist. who, by the way, has the biggest muscles for a dentist. he says no, i don't have cavities and he doesn't know why my teeth hurt. i'm getting them sealed in case it's just a thin enamel issue.

[Dalmaney]

1. I survived my 24 hour movie marathon.

2. I *think* I have a place to move and will finalize things later tonight.

3. I am exhausted. I don't want to sleep until tonight, though, so I can get back on a normal-ish schedule.

[Dalmaney]

1. My house is an utter diaster zone and I should clean tomorrow.

2. I am skipping a BBQ tonight because I have to go meet with my new lanlord to finalize details, but the Boy is going.

3. I already saw the Boy for a good deal of last night's movies, plus the last one this morning, plus all afternoon, so I'm kind of good with just going to bed by ten at the very latest.

[bluecrayon]

I don't know what the deal with my lymph node is.

I have a bunch more "tests" to do...

I'm home and looping through my blueness, missing him, feeling normal.

[Dalmaney]

Tests, of all kinds, generally suck.

I am dressed and presentable and contemplating a nap.

I miss him and he only just left.

[medeous]

i have set yet another goal for myself
i have taken a first step in achieving this goal
i still think i probably ought to talk to a lawyer, though.

[medeous]

i just crimped nan's hair
she's my mini-me
i hope to win the lottery soon

[Sirius]

if you think you should talk to a lawyer, you probably should

on the other hand, after my experience last year, i realize why lawyers get such a bad reputation

sorry siafu!

[Sirius]

Not to come across too nose in the air, but do they still sell crimpers these days?

I remember precrimper...my mom would do my hair in what seemed like hundreds of little braids, when they came undone it had the same affect

or is it effect...or, why, oh why won't the aleve kick in?

[medeous]

they do! i just bought it for her tonight
it's effect
i want to make one of those cutesy avatars like yardenxanthe, et al. is there a website?

[Lilac]

I cannot sleep tonight! I was in bed at 9:00...but couldnt sleep so...here I am.

I've been having splittning headaches lately, and I'm a little worried. Maybe they are migraines...but I don't know. Could be stress!

I'm working from home tomorrow. That was a nice little surprise from my boss today!

[Sirius]

eck, sorry to hear about the headaches, i can eloquently state, "they suck"

when i was sixteen i lost my vision for 15 minutes. after a day, and three different doctors, the verdict was "intense migraine"

if a migraine is an intense headache, isn't intense migraine just gratuitious?

[tanagee]

I have named lilac's little friend Nixon

I think there comes a time when nursing your toddler just becomes creepy.

I am dying to know why a big stretch of our main boulevard was closed off with tons of police cars, yellow tape, flares and even a few firemen. I hope the 10 O'clock news has something.

[bluecrayon]

dancing between ego and heart and not sure where I am most of the time...

can a person love more than one person at a time???

and if I said that, did I mean it??

yikes once more...

[Sirius]

i have no idea what is happening in cb/bc's life....


yes



but that doesn't make it right

[Larrissa]

i love this thread and everyone in it. so bite me

talking to my dad is very very very awkward, hes a bigger dork than i am

reading about all these real life events makes me wonder what have i been doing for the last few years?!

praying for good in your results, blue

and lilac, go chill with your goat! have all that land and you let yourself be stressed? yeah i have no idea what its like. but i wish you well

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I have a crimper, it's pink

Larrissa loves me ::wub::

tonight was anti-climatic

[siafu]

some lawyers are definitely punks.

upon occasion, righteous beeyotches have viewed me as a punk.

i think everyone has rights. hang me up by my toenails, dude.

ps. i'm sorry about last year, rustell. i would probably still break into sweats about it, were i in your socks.

[Curlita]

I'm tired.

We finished the kitchen! We finished the kitchen!

And on Saturday we're supposed to paint two walls in the museum.

[tanagee]

I have spent 1 1/2 hours watching the local news and checking out the websites for all the local stations...NADA!

I wonder if the PIF book I sent to Larissa is causing all the love :)

I am confused how photo's of caskets draped with flags can be an invasion of someones privacy? It's not like they had "Here lies Joe Shmoe" in huge letters on them.

[Cuilanië]

- I just realised that being 28 means that I've gone by 'Eve-Isabelle' for half of my life now.

- That caused me a bit of a shock.

- I miss him.

[OHPossum]

1-sociologists, well, any ologists, would have a field day with this place, nness in general, but 3RF specifically

2-I really feel like if you needed me, I'd come-- even those of you who sucked at my quiz :lol: :lol: :P

3-bluecrayon, you need a vacation. come to the midwest and chill. lilac too. Madison is so pretty in the spring, and all the undergrads are like little puppies who were cooped up too long-- they are everywhere throwing frisbees and wearing ridiculously summer clothes...

[bluecrayon]

more "tests" this morning...

I am listening to Led Zeppelin at 545am ...

Maybe I DO need a vacation! :lol:

[thunderstorm_19]

1 ok this show on discovery 'the great warming' (about climate change) is much too depressing for words.....

2 i'm going to take a bath or shower (haven't decided which) later

3 LOL (laughing at myself) - - i just came back to the computer this morning, and realised i'd stopped in the middle of this post - #1, and 2 were written some time between 8 and 9 pm last night, but i'm only just finishing and posting now.

[thunderstorm_19]

when i was sixteen i lost my vision for 15 minutes. after a day, and three different doctors, the verdict was "intense migraine"

1 when i was in grade 5 or 6 i was playing "pole tag" with friends at recess, and the fresh dusting of snow concealed an ice patch, which i found, slipped on, and banged the back of my head on one of the "poles" which was actually a fire hydrant. i couldn't see (was all black and starry) for 15 or so minutes then.... totally freaked me out.

2 i forgot to call carrie last night...

3 the Climb is tomorrow!

[nymphette]

1: tomorrow is THE SALE!!!!

2: we hve decided to definitely do another one in late june/early july....

3: i am baking pumpkin, banana and orange loves for the sale too... i think when they say craft sale/flea market, they mean baking sale too...

busy day!!! sunday i get to rest... ask god, he says so... :lol:

[Obsidian_Cat]

1. I am goofing off big time because it's Friday, I don't really feel like doing any work, and nobody's here...

2. I have experienced and can tell you the difference between mild, moderate and intense migraines... but wish I couldn't.

3. I didn't feel like struggling in to nylons this morning, but now that I'm fully awake I can clearly see I should have taken the time to shave my legs.

:P

[thunderstorm_19]

1 the stupid boy msn'd me this morning

2 mixed feelings abound

3 i love getting mail on fridays!

[littlest-bee]

. I just sat out in the sunshine for two hours with my boy. I knit the whole time and it was lovely!

.. I have a caramelised onion and lancashire cheese quiche for my tea which I bought from the deli round the corner.

... The sunshine has prompted a bout of mad freckles across my face and shoulders!

[Larrissa]

my mailperson i have never actually seen (yay for the anonomous america!) but apparently they dont have much of a sense of humor. the other day i had a small mountain of naked mail (all generously stamped) in there and he removed all three "letters" and left the unwrapped stuff. and yesterday the handle on the box was broke off. maybe hes jealous of all my awesome mail :wub:

therapy = 3RF

we need to have some more nasties to air in fight club.

[nymphette]

1: finished: 1 pumpkin loaf, 2 banana loaves, and one zuchini-coconut loaf in the over.... all for the sale...

2: how much do i charge for a fresh baked loaf???? :o

3: i'm bad at pricing... anyone tell me???? what would YOU pay at a sale for fresh baked stuff??? muffins??? cookies???? please please please someone??? ;)

[Larrissa]

4.00 loaf of gooooood bread, 2.00 for okay
muffins? good sized 1.00
cookies? small 3 for 1.00, larger 75cents each
thats my opinion, but im cheap :P

hmmmm

another fact? nope

[tanagee]

I don't know about all my peeps on the West Coast (esp Calif), but I have NO desire to watch 10.3 on NBC.

I have to find somewhere to go today as Megan was adamant about wearing a cute little sundress and I feel it would be a waste just to stay home.

I made a South Park Character of my hubby and he loves it.

1. Hi Rosie! :wave: I get lots of freckles when I'm out in the sun too, especially on my nose and under my eyes.

we need to have some more nasties to air in fight club.

2. The Fight Club thread cracks me up. I read all of the posts, but I can never think of anything to write.

3. I was watching Will & Grace last night and I almost died when Rosario got in the limo and Karen said "I like those knee highs. Are they opaque?" :rofl: Sorry, that's probably not so funny to people who don't watch that show and don't know Karen's character.

thats my opinion, but im cheap :P

hmmmm

another fact? nope
I agree...

not about Larrissa being cheap...

about the pricing

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- My friend Ian is in Romania, working on the latest installment of the Chucky movies. (He is assistant to the producer.)

-2- I don't think I would like to go to Romania. It doesn't sound like a very nice place from Ian's description. Although: beer is very cheap.

-3- Sarahkate did better on my latest quiz than my mother and my brother and my best friend.

[Dalmaney]

1. I slept for 11 hours last night.

2. It took me another hour to get out of bed.

3. It will take me another hour to actually get moving.

[tanagee]

I had my little bottle of my perfume sitting on the desk next to me for when I answered the FridayFive...

It wasn't until I began to smell the overwhelming scent of perfume did I realize...

Megan had taken it and poured ALL of it on herself, the carpet and god knows where else. She and my house smell like a $2 whore.

I don't know about all my peeps on the West Coast (esp Calif), but I have NO desire to watch 10.3 on NBC.

I'm with you. Exacerbate my earthquake anxiety by watching a fictionalized Space Needle topple over? No thanks.

Midwife appointment this morning. Good: got to hear the nipper's heart again. Bad: am gaining too much weight. :'(

Must work. Must work. Must eat cookies. Must work. Wait a minute, what's that third thing again?

[Dalmaney]

1. So far I have showered, dressed, eaten, and washed dishes.

2. I should get my ambition together and go to the bank, then try to secure some moving boxes.

3. I hate moving, but am very relieved to know where I am going.

[Larrissa]

i wish i knew where i was going, life hasnt started for me yet. but i built a nice little cocoon to retreat to when i am alone

whitened my teeth yesterday. this is something i would never pay money for, the mans coworker had a bunch of kits for free.

between coffee and pot, me teeth dont sparkle!

ah, but it has... and you've already arrived somewhere.

You just need to look at where your feet are and embrace the things that move you from THERE

knowing the things you love will help you move into the bigger world of you.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am still in the process of finding who and what I love.

2. I don't think it's a process that's ever over.

3. At least it's an interesting process.

[siafu]

i was supposed to go to the postoffice today. but then heidi said, do you want to go to the store. so i canceled my ride. then, she said, it will take longer if you come. wait here. so, now i am going nowhere.

i made something cool in photoshop. lemme see if i can put it in my photo album. no, i don't know how to change it to a jpeg.

i want to eat mnms and take a nap. maybe i will.

[Cuilanië]

- Theresa, if you made it with Photoshop, you can use 'Save As' and choose 'jpeg' in the file type menu. It even lets you choose the level of file compression.

- My reserve of online time is dwindling fast. Sigh. :(

- I went to the supermarket and couldn't resist bringing back some munchy-stuff. And I've gone through a good bit of it already. No, I haven't had dinner... <_<

[owen]

i'm tired, oh so tired

it's finally friday

i am going to the queercore blitz show tomorrow, featuring... the kitty kill, davies vs. dresch, boyskout...........YES!!!!

[Dalmaney]

1. I have started picking out car ads I should phone, but I hate phoning strangers.

2. I should start packing now that I have a few boxes.

3. I think I will have some cake instead.

[Larrissa]

ack, the last three hours where swallowed by nevousness.

i should have been more adamant about music collecting. i suppose its not to late to start

there should be a webcam thread

[siafu]

here's the thing i made in photoshop. i'm going to color it by hand. look in my iconography album here (http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tisoto/my_photos). it's the second image. it won't let me link directly because it's a dynamic link, whatever that means. :rolleyes:

i'm supposed to start my $7 an hour job on tuesday.

i'd rather not. but i have to have money to give the muscley dentist.

ps. thanks for the advice, eve. it set me on the right track.

[OHPossum]

i did my presentation today to our advosory board.

i was more confident then I was in the fall

someone even asked if I'd be willing to come present at her library. that made me happy

[namelessgirl]

i just got a call from my mom: my great-aunt should be dead within the hour, they've just given her her last rites.

i can't get out of my own way today

a neighbor invited us to a housewarming and i can't decide if i want to go.

[siafu]

i'm sorry about your great-aunt, NG. wishing your family the best.

i am going to go do something artistic in a minute.

i have chicken i can cook for dinner! tired of beef, i am. :ill:

[medeous]

i cough all the time, but i don't smoke and i don't have a cold. i think i'm consumptive and i'll have to move to arizona to bother sirius.

we're going to see a movie, nan and i.

i am taking monday morning off because i dislike 6th graders. i will return to work just in time for lunch and my prep.

[Sirius]

i'll help you find a place to live...

maybe you can teach at the same school and we can carpool

...if i can poke you in the arm while you drive

[nymphette]

1: hello gwensmom!!! i see you!!!

2: this computer need sto be turned off.. immeditely... i have been terribly unproductive all afternoon!!!

3: <sigh> i get a day a year to be unproductive.. i decided....

[bluecrayon]

Oh, gosh -- look at that new avatar of Nymphette's. Yikes, he's cute! :wub:

I have a sinking feeling my dog paintings are not going to arrive in time for the yard sale... :(

I hate namelessgirl today for acing those music quizzes of cryptaesia's...always someone lurking around who knows stuff! :angry: :lol:

[Larrissa]

:yell: agreed! stinkin music snobs, knowing stuff and all that :D

i havent done a thing today but play here and drink some coffee

i should really be working on moving

[OHPossum]

1-I love 6th graders, but I've had it with 8th graders

2- we just took the doggies for a walk and they were really good

3- when they are not good my arm hurts for a week

[Lilac]

Okay...well I'm going to get offline and take the kid to Wal Mart to buy him a damn ball.

Larrissa has friends---US! (and we love you)

I rented Haunted Mansion for the kid and I to watch tonight, so I might not be back online.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 had dinner with mum at the restaurant where my sis works

2 oh my freaking... the Climb is TOMORROW MORNING!!

3 yes i'm rushing around getting ready, and logging off the comp soon...

[Lilac]

Where is everyone tonight? Oh, yeah - right - it's Friday night and everybody but me has a life!

I took the kid to Target and bought him a ball. They didnt have what he wanted at Wal Mart. I got myself a new houseplant (as if I have the room) and the DVD "So I Married An Axe Murderer."

Then we stopped at Panera bread and had a bagel.


Yep. That's my Friday night excitement.

[bluecrayon]

The guy I love lives in another state...

I'm spinning here on a Friday night, too...

I'm about to call him, but I'm missing him all over the place and I sublimate it here...

[medeous]

nan and i saw 13 going on 30
we had icees
my feet are cold

[siafu]

i love icees at the movies. they make my day.

i'm doing another digital collage.

i feel sad. i should probably turn the radio on.

[Lilac]

I'm getting very sleepy...........



I know that's only one ramdom fact...but my life is so dull, that's all I could come up with for now.

[Gingersmack]

Tried a new recipe (WatermelonSugar sent me) tonight.
It is a wonderfully fresh and simple-simple vegetarian chili.
It's a hit with the kidlets too!

[bluecrayon]

headache sending me to the floor...

it's late and I feel like I am spinning in an empty room anyway...

if a bluecrayon spins and no one is around to see it, is she really spinning??

invite me to a party somebody!

[OHPossum]

it's 5:30 am here and too early to party

I lost at trivial pursuit today

I am annoyed at how much I have to get done today

[littlest-bee]

There is a new Douglas Coupland book out at the end of the year. That makes me very happy.

I love opals and moon stones.

I want a webcam.

[Cuilanië]

- Still rationing my online time... sigh.

- It's beautiful outside, sunny and warm. T-shirt weather. :)

- I had less than three hours of sleep. Haven't had coffee yet. Must have coffee...

[Janeway]

1. Ik hate the color pink, but recently I bought a pink sweater for my daughter
2. I spent too much time behind my computer
3. I killed my goldfish two days ago (I had to, he was dying and suffered) :(

[medeous]

i love the color pink.
these are a few of the thousands of color combinations that make my heart happy: hot pink and orange, robin's egg blue and brown, turquoise and red.
i think i'd like to shop today.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am looking at a car in a few minutes.

2. I probably won't buy it, just because last night I looked at a car with a couple boys and I trust their judgement more than I do mine.

3. So I feel bad even looking at this one, because I am probably wasting their time.

[bluecrayon]

I have been up since 5am -- went out to help clean up a huge section of Golden Gate Park

Early morning is where I am the most joyous

everything seems possible.

[Cuilanië]

- hi cb! :) Hope your lymph node is behaving a little better...

- did I say t-shirt weather earlier? It's been tank-top weather. I went for a walk.

- I don't mind solitude so much, but being internet-deprived is hard. :rolleyes:

[Dalmaney]

1. I think I will buy the first car I looked at.

2. We moved into the first house we looked at.

3. I think I may be easily impressed by the first thing I see.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am nervous about bargaining for the best price on the car.

2. I want to just make the Boy do it. I am not sure what this says about me as a grown up independent woman.

3. I think it means I know how to make other people do my dirty work.

[siafu]

i have a tiny cut on the ball of my thumb and i don't know how i got it

i canceled my rides today cos i'm beat.

i don't have my glasses on. forgive any crazy typos.

[tanagee]

Me and my mom took Megan to a carnival put on by the PTA of the grade school my MOM went to, she won lots of prizes and got a butterfly tattoo. (Megan, not my mom)

I am just about to go outside with a big glass of home-made, home-grown Lemonade, some trisciuts, cheese, a book and my radio containing a CD from Cryptaesia.

I must go change my clothes for it is much too hot to lie in the sun in a black t-shirt and dark linen capri's...

[bluecrayon]

I am using my son's skateboard to slide around the city --

I am pretending I am one of those lanky boys that slide up the sides of things

heh heh -- I am into total denial! :D

[Dalmaney]

1. I just got to meet my friends week old son. He's a sweetie.

2. I should be ambitious and continue packing. I hate packing.

3. I love coffee and had about three or four cups at Smitty's while visiting.

[Dalmaney]

1. I have posted an exchange for a bunch of random handmade postcards and graceful envies, if anyone's interested.

2. I just can't keep everything forever, ya know?

3. I feel bad sometimes that I can't keep everything forever.

[hammerquill]

1. I finally finished a preliminary version of the first patina description page (http://www.davidmbowman.com/dmb/general/patinas/mottle.htm) on our website yesterday.

2. One thing I love about globalization: I got a packet of silica gel in a recent tool purchase. It was made in China for the North American market, so it had to be bilingual, but was not typed by a person who knew French, or possibly even the Roman alphabet, so on what we must assume to be the the French side it is written in schoolyard Martian:

SILICA GEL
DESSIC ATEUR
NEP ASAV ALER

3. The Depardieu version of Cyrano de Bergerac has finally come out on DVD! :wub:

[Cuilanië]

- I like the burnt mottles especially... Such a richness in colour! :)

3. The Depardieu version of Cyrano de Bergerac has finally come out on DVD!

- :yay:


- I've bitten the bullet, and am using my absent roommate's high-speed modem. So far, it seems to be working fine. Too bad I couldn't log on earlier, because I didn't know whether he'd be coming home (and therefore whether I could use it...)

[Dalmaney]

1. Today I found some more chinese newspapers in the trash by the mailboxes in my building.

2. It amuses me that now when I see chinese newspapers, I retrieve them and go "someone will want these".

3. I have finished taking down everything on my bedroom walls and salvaging what I want to keep.

[Curlita]

1. I'm wondering how Alison's climb went and how Nymphette's sale did.

2. I am incredibly frustrated and angry with my husband right now.

3. I think I'm going to go buy things in a form of shop therapy.

[gwensmom]

I popped in to see if there is any news of the sale or the climb yet.

Gwen has another urinary tract infection :'( :yell:

I said this in the movie review section, but I will say it here again-
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a fabulous movie.

[bluecrayon]

About to go to a party full of middle aged people

I am practicing how to talk

I am wondering what to wear...

I am wondering why everything in our culture is so segregated along age lines...

[Dalmaney]

1. One of the things I really appreciate about my church is the way it integrates people across age lines. I associate with people that are much older and much younger than me. I never do that anywhere else.

2. I am going to a party full of 20-somethings in half an hour.

3. I don't have to practise how to talk. They all know I'm crazy. No point in hiding it.

1 two words: i rock.

2 two more: i ache.

3 it took me 1 hour, 7 minutes, 50 seconds; but i did it.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i also wonder how the sale went, and hope it went well!

2 so freakin tired

3 mum's *almost* asleep in front of 'harry potter (#2)', which i decided i wanted to watch tonight... but really we started it a bit late, and i'm really wanting to go to bed... but it's almost over, so might as well watch the rest...

[siafu]

alison! goodonya! :thewave:

the woman who tailored my suit jacket offered to share her office space with me. i need to look up the rules and see if that's permissible.

i would like a bubble bath now, but i'm out of bubbles.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 the stairs were icky... open risors (sp?) - one could see between them...

2 i haven't had coffee today

3 i did have a beer with dinner though

[nymphette]

1: the sale went okay...

2: crappy weather- you couldn't see across the valley because it was a HUGE dirtstorm all day!!!! so i think a lot of people didn't come because you got blown away walking to your car today... :(

3: gotta tally and get the 'float' out and i'll be back when harrison's in bed and let everyone know how we did.... :) i'm exhausted!!! :o

[Bugitha]

1. I sparkle today. (I hereby thank whoever decided to put that shimmery glitter in lotion.)

2. I think I'm getting sick. :angry: It would totally suck to get sick for the first day of my new job on Monday.

3. I haven't been reading much at all lately and am wondering why I am feeling guilty about it. Who cares if I read or not?

[nymphette]

1: we ended up not getting to craven (where the sale was), until 10 a.m., because i forgot the camera at my sister's this morning and HAD to take pictures you know...

2: the sale started at 10 a.m... so we wer euntil 10:30 or so setting up, and me iwthout my morning coffee....

3: things are always late with my sister... not sure why it is but... we were up at 8 a.m., so taht should have been plenty of time to get there to set up on time... even though we had to go get the camera....

[nymphette]

1: we decided we are doing another sale for sure about the end of june... if things go as planned, we will be in toronto in july or august for the transplant....

2: we have everythign that was left over carefully packed up and ready to go... plus we are going to take it out to my mom's when she has a garage sale, i think it will sell there...

3: we also went home at about 3 pm- the sale was supposed to end at 4, but the weather was so crappy that there ws really nobody there after lunch!!! so we packed up early....

[nymphette]

1: the grand total of the day was...



$120.00...

give or take a coffee or two from the proceeds... :o

2: we did much better than the people at the tables next to us!!!

3: i am happy with that amount, even though it seems small... that was only about 4 hours of selling, so.... if the weather hadn't been so crappy i am sure we would have done better, but que sera que sera....

[bluecrayon]

If you do another sale in June, nymphette, I can send tons of stuff your way...

I am back from my party, feeling relieved to take my tights off and pull on my jeans...

I am going out on my bike to work out my lonliness -- I miss him and it aches through me on these Saturday nights...

[littlest-bee]

I am awake at 6.30am on a Sunday morning with cramps. I may as well make the most of it I suppose - I'm going to make some coffee.

I watched Punch-Drunk Love last night - I love that film. It's the second time I've seen it and I think it gets better the more you watch it.

Glad to hear the sale and the climb went well!

[bluecrayon]

tonight I am wishing for more company here


I am rattling around here alone and my damn name is already all over the place, so if I bump, I just bump myself...

proof that everyone has a life but me...

sigh.

[siafu]

i'm here too, bickering with heidi over the pudding that didn't get put in the fridge.

i'm having a new piece of art in a new show, btw.

it's kind of intimidating.

[bluecrayon]

siafu! That's great.

What kind of art?

what kind of show?

[siafu]

it's a show of mental illness art. i'm going to do mixed media of the colors of how i feel when i'm depressed. then i'm going to take one of my old glasses and turn them into dark glasses so i can give myself some privacy. :lol: then, i'll write a poem. it should be good.

sometimes i feel shy about being depressed.

but if i am, i am. only, today, i'm not so much.

[littlest-bee]

It seems busy here, given the time.

Seeing grown men cry usually makes me cry too.

The seagulls are awake here.

[bluecrayon]

I have battled through depression my whole life...

that is one thing I'm not shy about...

I'm shy about the part of me that isn't depressed...

I'm shy about me.

[bluecrayon]

Just about midnight here...

I am lacing up my hightops...

I am going out on my bike into the dark warmth of the urban night...

[Larrissa]

i love themotherinlaw but she is so deep in denial its exasperating to be around her

nephew and i played and played today

nervous nervous nervous
this has been so very great

[OHPossum]

Three not so random facts about my Nervous friends:

1-They are generous (yay alison on the climb, yay everyone who pitched in for Harrison-the-love-bug)

2-They are sensitive (yay for encouraging words in tough times and knowing you can post on 3RF and someone will chime in with a rah rah)

3-They fight the good fights against bad things, including heartbreak, handicap, the blues, and our boy on Pennsylvania Ave

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i am not as sore this morning as i expected to be, which is a good thing

2 i am even confident that i could/would/might do the climb again next year

3 it was really nice having a friend doing it with me, so we might go again next year, and try talking some other friends into it too

[bluecrayon]

I had a wonderful midnight bike ride last night -- it definitely calmed down my restlessness.

I was up this morning walking in the dawn fingers of light...

I feel alive all over the place.

[cdonley]

1. I'm back to changing my avatar ^_^

2. My friend's son, who is 4 1/2 months old weighs 19 pounds! My daughter, who is 12 months old, weighs 18...?!?!

3. We are trying to save up for a down payment for a bigger house....it isn't working...who has an extra $20,000 just lying around? ((We decided never to go the "no money down" route ever again)) :blink:

[bluecrayon]

That fight club thread just scares me for some reason...

I am really afraid of my own venomous nature, I think!

I could definitely go over the top there... :ph34r:

[siafu]

keep trying, cdonley. you'll make it. life is quick, huh? always something going on...

i just printed a huge picture of myself. maybe my ego is growing like yeast. :burble:

i know i am crazy for art. i could be sleeping.

My friends son is 9 1/2 mos and 27 pounds...Megan is 2 and 27 pounds. I dunno if he's a linebacker or she's too skinny? I think it's the former.

My ANNOYING SIL is coming over later for brunch. We have lived in this house 4 1/2 years and she gets lost EVERY TIME she comes over and is always HOURS late...with no appologies!

I wish I could explain how exasperating she is.

[littlest-bee]

I just cleaned the kitchen within an inch of it's life and then dusted the whole house. That's quite enough of that for me now thank you.

I ate chocolate for lunch and I think I might eat it for dinner too.

I have to make my dad a mix cd tonight - it's part of his 50th birthday present.

[siafu]

that's a cool part of a present, littlest-bee.

:lol: i'd just put her food in the microwave, tana. but i guess you gotta keep family peace.

i'm going to an open mike tonight, probably empty handed.

[Dalmaney]

1. I should call the car guy today, but I might leave it until tomorrow night.

2. I think we may try to have our carwash this afternoon. Yesterday was nasty.

3. I am walking to church because I never found a ride. I want my car now.

[Curlita]

1. I'm glad that the climb and sale went well for Alison and Robyn respectively yesterday!

2. I'm well rested and now that the $*%& kitchen is painted, I refuse to do anything constructive this weekend, besides laundry! Long live sloth!

3. Time for a cuppa decaf and some QT with my Sims.

[MonkeysInk]

1. I skipped a grade and started school a year early, so I graduated high school at 16 and college at 20.

2. I speak Spanish pretty well, but since I'm about the pasty white-ist person you'll ever meet, no one suspects it, so I use it to eavesdrop on people in checkout lines who don't think I understand them.

3. I am a closet grammar Nazi. I seethe when people say things incorrectly.

[Sirius]

1. Not so random....Brashbroad, pantiesontherod, paganfrog, thunderstorm_19, Aztek721, littlest-bee, nuKKe, auntieemu, pooshouse, mechanical_cat, amylyn are visiting Nervous right now, along with six guests...

2. My photo-printer is driving my nuts...it will print a really crappy product (a picture with lines running through it. Then the next picture prints just fine and dandy....

3. argh

[thunderstorm_19]

1... yup sirius is right... i am indeed here...

2... but i am leaving (for a couple of hours!)... going to the library, to see gran, etc...

3... would really like to be going to bed...

[Sirius]

1. Yesterday I was reviewing a report on "World War two" I couldn't do it. Everytime I read it written as "World War two" I cringed. I got through the first page and moved on to something else.

2. i am horrible about cleaning my paint brushes


3. i need to go now...

[cdonley]

1. I am drinking Orange Slice - which reminds me of my childhood. It also is 22 percent of my daily carbs - whoa! Too much sugar, but it tastes sooooo good!

2. My friends son is 9 1/2 mos and 27 pounds... Wowee! Aaron is 3 and weighs about 34...I think Megan is right on, but your friend's son must be a chunky...monkey... ^_^

3. I have 7 big envies and 3 little ones to mail off for nervous stuff tomorrow

[Larrissa]

got out the glue gun last night and went on a rampage. made a bunch of decorated book-lets. they all turned out so heavy though i doubt they will be used for mailing

one of the things made is a cloth covered board for displaying ze atc's
http://img52.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Larrissa/atcs.jpg
its a terrible picture - holders are these little photothings made for cubicle walls, stickybacks they are called. repostionble for my fickle taste

someone has got to get into government and change sunday into a mail day

[bluecrayon]

I am tripping out on Larrissa's thingy here...

I've never owned a glue gun...

I'm staring at my basket of work and grimacing -- I really want to go out and play!

[Larrissa]

ants are crawling on the curtain

music is playing abandoned in the next room

its so empty in here

[thunderstorm_19]

1 dinner is ready

2 i just edited my signature again

3 off out again tomorrow morning...

[Dalmaney]

1. I am sleepy but don't have time to sleep yet.

2. I start survey camp tomorrow. Bleh.

3. I should pack stuff, but I won't.

[Larrissa]

watch out! son of a gun. superhero number one, watch out!

i went through my obligations and actually dont have much to do after that wave of activity for the giveaway

hmmm, how to connect from far far away ...

[tanagee]

I woke up from my nap to hear my hubby feeding Megan pancakes. :)

I want a really big salad from Islands or something. Shrimp sounds really good too.

It's too hot to cook.

[Lilac]

Gruff is gone and I'm despondent! My son and I searched all through the woods, called and called him...but we couldnt find him. I'm sick over it.

Gruffie is 12 years old, and that's pretty old for a goat. I hope he didnt go off somewhere and die!

It's storming outside and it's breaking my heart thinking that he's laying out there wet and cold.


*I know...everyone probably thinks I'm insane to get this sentimental over a goat...but...welll....I am.

[siafu]

i got some sucky news today, and it took all the wind out of my sails. heidi isn't even here to talk to. :'(

[Lilac]

I hope you're okay, Siafu! We're here if you need us! :hug:

[Larrissa]

aww, what happened? you will be alright! :)

[kittymao]

Yeshyesh, siafu! Pweez tell us, we want to make you feel better!

I understand lilac- there's a soft spot in my heart for all living things. I hope he's just trying to hunt down a Girl... teehee.

I tell you, I thought it was impossible to spend $60 on towels, but somehow, I did it.

[siafu]

well, i was so excited b/c the bar association asked me to apply for the bar grant. then. i got an email that said, oh, sorry, i made a mistake. the deadline is passed. the worst part is, i let myself get so excited b/c i thought that for once, i had some good news.

i didn't.

bah.

[siafu]

i don't know why i am so upset. i guess i really wanted good news.

[Larrissa]

oh i am so sorry.

really i am

that sucks

[Dalmaney]

1. I now have enough boxes to move all my stuff.

2. I have lined up one van and two burly young men to move things.

3. All that's left to do is finish packing, and possibly recruit a little more help for the burly young men.

[Dalmaney]

My name is Dalmaney and I am a forum addict.

This is my 2000th post. It has been fifteen seconds since my last post.

I think I may have a problem, but I refuse to fix it.
:thewave:

[Sirius]

this is my 3,816th post, so um, no sympathy for your addiction out of me

and geez, you've been here a year longer than me

what have you been doing?

[bluecrayon]

I cleaned up Golden Gate Park this weekend... I rode my bike from midnight to 330am -- I went to a middle aged party -- I took my daughter out to buy shoes (and her first bras) -- I skateboarded for about 30 blocks (well, sometimes I just sort of rolled) -- I talked to HIM -- I had a bass violin clinic -- I did some work on a grant --

I am bending happy into Monday --

biopsy once again on that golf ball in my neck tomorrow morning -- wish me luck!

(siafu! shucks, you. it will get better, I promise!)

[Dalmaney]

1. I'm only a forums junkie when I am at home.

2. I tend to spend a few months of the year not at home.

3. My nervousaddiction runs in cycles... it's on an upswing right now.

[hammerquill]

I've got a new design for a coffee table I intend to make.

I don't seem to be able to get motivated to do Nness work or anything else useful today.

I'm barely able to get motivated to do concerted goofing off, like reading a book...

[bluecrayon]

I feel a tug toward nness when I first get up in the morning and when I come home from work and, right now, before I wind down...

I don't look at it as being a junky --

I look at it as just hanging with my friends for awhile... ;)

[bluecrayon]

545am Monday morning -- I am drifting through the dark waiting for the tea kettle to boil

I am rattling around alone here...

Just a little worried about my neck...

[gwensmom]

I am also worried about Bluecrayons neck :unsure: I hope it is nothing serious.

Worrying about Lilac's goat as well. Poor Gruff! :(

We has sinus headaches all weekend and were miserable :angry: . The rain is gone now so we should be feeling better soon.

[nostalgia]

I am avoiding the inevitable.

She still makes me happier than anyone else.

He comes back in less than two weeks.

[medeous]

saturday morning i had an overwhelming urge to see my parents.
i cancelled previous plans, loaded up the kid and the dog and drove 4 hours.
i had a lovely time doing nothing at all and left for home again much later than usual last night.

aw, medeous -- there is something lovely about this! It has made me smile.

and Nostalgia's facts are intriguing...he/she/us!

and gwensmom! I'm feeling confident...

[Curlita]

1. I'm sad about Lilac's goat. I hope he comes home!

2. There is something about the innocence of animals that makes me respond much more emotionally when they are sick or lost or hurt. I can tear up over missin kitty signs. Yet I don't have the same visceral reaction over the kids on the milk cartons. Why is that?

3. My husband woke me up playing video games before he went to work and now I am awake but also tired and liable to be cranky.

Bonus 4. Tana's post made me hungry for pancakes...

[tanagee]

Have not been to bed or slept yet

Had argument with hubby re: that fact

He thinks I am "up to something" that I can spend hours online

[Cuilanië]

Haven't posted in a while here...

- I will be glad when May 6th has come and gone.

- I feel strangely unmotivated and unwilling for today to be Monday.

- My sleeping schedule has skewed itself out of my normal range.

[Larrissa]

"up to something" they just dont understand ... :lol:

when i pull myself out of bed, first thing to do is pee. then get on in here.

will people ever understand feelings ... ?

[Dalmaney]

1. The Boy finishes exams tomorrow. I start class again today. The world is conspiring against us.

2. Or perhaps the world is trying to keep us out of trouble.

3. We'll find it anyway.

[sarahkate]

1. I hope Lilac's goat found his way home. The thought of a goat lost in the woods makes me very sad. *hugs* for Lilac!

2. I went to a casino this weekend and wasted away $40. That was really stupid considering I have bills to pay and many things that I need/want to buy.

3. I'm hungry. I think I might eat my peanut butter and jelly sandwich (on italian bread) right now. Oooh I'm such a rebel, eating lunch 10 minutes early. Oooh. :P

Same with me....don't ask me why...

Thanks everyone for being concerned about Gruffie. He was still missing this morning when I left for work. I'm going to do another all out search when I get home tonight...


I'm really busy at work today and it's so hard to get anything done!

Lunch is almost over, though...so I'm going to have to try.

1. The packing saga continues...

2. I am going to find something to lunch upon, and should get my things in order for class.

3. I am not ready to go back to class. Not anywhere close to ready.

[Larrissa]

good luck to:
dalmaney with your class
lilac with your goat
crayon with the tests

:wub:

*edit because i didnt mean to call you a goat

[girl-who-loves-sharks]

-1- Lilac, I am sad about your goat. My favorite goat has not been in the farmyard the last three times I have driven by, and I am worried. He was the cutest thing. I am glad I have a photo of him.

-2- I was going to put this in three random favorites, but hey, why not here? My favorite flowers are hydrangeas, daisies, and tulips.

-3- I need to write a protest poem for my class tomorrow, but I can't decide what to protest. There are so many things I don't like...

[thunderstorm_19]

1 my email address rec'd a message today, saying that someone was claiming that i stole their ebay account or something... i don't even think I have my own ebay account, let alone use of anyone else's.

2 i've gone to the ebay.ca website, and contacted them, wondering if this email is legit or not.

3 totally tired today

1: i got one too

3: it was a fraud

[sarahkate]

1. Sometimes I really hate my boyfriend's family. His youngest sister is graduating from high school and was supposed to be going away to college. She got accepted to SUNY Buffalo which is about 4 or 5 hours west of where we live. Well his horrid asshole parents guilted her into staying here for school at least for this year, and living with them. I have a strong feeling she isn't going to end up going to Buffalo even next year, she will end up living with her parents forever (like her older sister does). Ugh. I hate them I hate them I hate them.

2. Girl-who-loves-sharks is the sweetest! She RAoK'd me with a copy of A Tree Grown in Brooklyn. I love her! She's the best! :wub:

3. More than ever I am really wanting to get out of NY as a direct result of fact #1. I want to move to another state and start over. I want to get away from all of the things and the people that seem to drag me down and depress me around here.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 getting sick of the messes

2 no energy to clean them up

3 wish i could sew (i mean, a little more than some basic hand stitching)

[nymphette]

1: it's my granparent's anniversary on may 6th...

http://img37.photobucket.com/albums/v115/robyn987/Card_Cover.jpg

2: they are really old... :P

http://img37.photobucket.com/albums/v115/robyn987/Card_inside_left.jpg the tag goes in the envelope behind it

3: this is the card my sister and i made... okay, i made, but she supervised... :P

http://img37.photobucket.com/albums/v115/robyn987/card_inside_right.jpg

[nymphette]

1: it didnt' scan very well, but i guess you can get the general idea....

2: gold doesn't look gold when it's scanned... :P

3: carrots and ranch dressing is yummy....

[Dalmaney]

1. That card is spiffy.

2. Survey camp is going to suck, but it's only nine more days of class and I have chosen not to buy the $140 text.

3. I hope not having the text doesn't bite me in the a**.

[nymphette]

1: i am shocked at the amount of members with 'on hiatus', 'taking a nervous break' or similar on their members page who still tell people to send on the LMAO's they are in line for!!!!

2: julian wants a dog.... that is out of the question... :P

3: i have a craving for spinach dip!!!! with pumpernickel bread..... yumm...

(thanks dalmaney... it was fun to make... i cant believe they are that old and been married that long... :P teehee!!! though i am sure my grandma is NOT the type to appreciate a handmade, thought out card like that.... ah well... it IS the thought that counts...... )

[Dalmaney]

1. I think my half-siblings grandparents have been married for about 70 years.

2. It blows my mind to think I could be married to someone for 70 years.

3. I probably won't live long enough now to be married for 70 years, so no worries.

[kittymao]

Oo. I ate spinach dip last night. i love spinach dip. How do you make spinach dip?

it is stupidhot out here. Blech. I think I might go get some ice cream.

Oo, trying to think about what to do until I remembered I have both magic sculpt and a art doll armature, whee!

[siafu]

i have made spinach dip before. i like it because it's sooo good, and when i make it at home, it doesn't cost much. here (http://www.geocities.com/lisalew212/spinachdip.html) is a good recipe. when you are heating the cheese to melt it, if it gets too pasty, you can tip in a teaspoon at a time of cream--or milk.

my birthday is friday. i'll be 32. so far all the 30's have felt basically the same. i get a cutie patootie nervous doll for my bday. and a cake from scratch, that is all butter and sugar and eggs. woot!

i mailed tana a box today. it is a funny box. i bought it at the post office, right? so i asked the mail man to put it together for me so i could use it. he taped it shut all the way around. :P anyway, i did get the stuff inside.

[nymphette]

1: my recipe, just for kittymao!!!

2 cups sour cream
2 cups chopped spinach (or a container of frozen spinach, thawed and well drained)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup red pepper chopped
1/2 cup bacon, crumbled
1 cup grated cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp black pepper
hot sauce to taste (optional, but how can you NOT put hot sauce in?? :) )

combine all ingredients and refrigerate to blend flavors, for about 4 hours or overnight... bread bowl is optional... ;) you can also heat it up to melt the cheese and it's very yummy....

2: and now i am craving spinach dip even more...... :o

3: and dying of thirst!!!!

[siafu]

nymphette's recipe is even better.

i think when i did it, i used the tgi friday's recipe.

i have church tonight. i should go nap. but i probably won't.

[bluecrayon]

I am struck by that photograph of nymphette's grandparents when they were young -- it kind of makes me feel the whole journey of time takes a second...

I wonder if her grandparents wish they could have slowed time down ...

Then I see nymphette's sons and I almost see them as grown ups in the same moment...

[bluecrayon]

I am obviously feeling time on my fingers these days...

and I always want to tell everyone not to hesitate to do what they want to do..

There is not really so much distance from here to there and all that stuff in the middle is often not worth slowing down for...

[Dalmaney]

1. I'm going out for wings in a little while.

2. I should be studying... and packing.

3. I get tired of life sometimes... mostly when I'm alone.

[Larrissa]

going to eat out, pizza buffet

i almost wish the bad feelings would spread themselves out over time, rather than just blanket me in darkness all at once

it always goes away, but i feel dangerous when this happens

[Curlita]

I love Robyn's project for her grands. I hope I'm lucky enough to have a 50th anniversary (I think I wed too late for a 65th, but we'll see!).

I took out a project that has been sitting unfinished for months and started to finish it. It was a cathartic project regarding my one major unrequited love and I'm ready to put the whole thing to bed.

Our cat Lucy killed her first bird today. It was a starling. Jonny was grossed out, since he's not been around cats all his life.

[kittymao]

yaay fer spinach dip!
yaay fer Lucy and her first bird!

and uhm.
JUST PLAIN OLD YAAY.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am buying the car. I have the money orders to prove it.

2. Turns out I can interac a car. Wow.

3. I don't want to go to school tomorrow. I want to go get my car and drive to the moon.

[Larrissa]

mood changed

wrote an email to Tazo tea just now for the dunglas zine

recording music for the car tape player

[Lilac]

I am just having the worst day and am at the point of bursting into tears from sheer frustration! Gruffie is still missing, I can't find him...none of the neighbors have seen him...I'm exhausted from searching, exhausted from working all day, exhausted from...everything!

Just a bit ago, I had settled myself down at the computer to try to unwind (even though I found my living room trashed by my son when I came back in from searching for Gruff). My son was in the shower...I had a cup of chamomile tea...looking forward to playing with Larrissa, Gwensmom, Zanna, BlueCrayon, Siafu, Curlits, Sirius...oh, and just everyone... All of the sudden my son let out a horrendous shriek from the bathroom, it sounded like someone was in there murdering him. I jumped up from the computer, running like a fool, hurdled the rabbit's cage...well...not QUITE hurdled the rabbit cage because my foot got stuck in it, I fell, broke the cage, scattered pine shavings all over the place, smashed my knee, landed flat on my face and bit my lip. And what was this life-threatening emergency in the bathroom, you may be wondering? HE DIDNT HAVE A FREAKING TOWEL!!!!!!! Anyhow, he now knows my wrath.

And...I'm feeling a little better letting out some steam. It just gets so overwhelming sometimes, being a single mom and having all these responsibilities. Not that I want to change anything...it's just been one of those days. (But damn it, I seem to have "one of those days" too damn often!!!!!!)

[Larrissa]

oh shit, lilac. i wish you well

i like the word "wrath"

gruffie, if you dont come home this instant, i'm gonna come over there!!! and you dont wanna know whats gonna happen then!

[Sirius]

Oh, Lilac. I laughed at your pain. The not hurdling the cage bit was too much for my sensitive humor control to handle.

still wondering about gruffle running off with a girl. or, maybe just off with the circus. those can be very appealing to a goat.

and, although I didn't fall for it, i think it wrong that your favorite flower isn't a lilac


ah...an all lilac edition of TRF

[Lilac]

Thanks Sirius for the "All Lilac TRF"...I don't think I've ever had one of those before!

And thanks Larrissa...you just MAY have to come down here and show Gruff YOUR wrath!

My knee hurts.

[Sirius]

Years from now, when Lilac walks with a limp she can say it's from an old rabbit cage injury.

Must...go...be...productive.....

Need more water as well....

my job here is done, i can REALLY go be productive

It's quiet here tonight...

making some noise

that post counter must be wrong! ...

starburst suckers are strangely fruity delicious

I account for 1.84% of total forum posts.

That's sad, in so many ways.

wonder where POTR is....

sirius, that rabbit cage injury thing made me laugh too.

my eyebrows itch.

what is the worst thing that can happen if i go eat ice cream and chase it with potato chips?

That depends. You don't happen to have a rabbit cage between you and the freezer, do you? ;)

I managed to avoid the temptation to buy the latest Civ3 expansion set when I stopped at the computer store for more printer ink.

Making lots of spaghetti sauce and freezing it is a good idea. I just remembered I had some, so dinner became a lot less of a chore.

It's TOO HOT in here. Outside it's a glorious temperature, which is unusal this late in the evening.

[siafu]

:lol: no, no rabbit cages, though if the cat sees me in that close proximity to his crunchies, he may ask for more. pig cat.

i am going to make something with chicken for dinner.

and i am going to eat sourpatch kids while i make said dinner. but i will not get chicken goo on said candy, cos that's too gross.

[nymphette]

1: there is something seriously freaking up our computer..... it's change dmy homepage and i keep getting pop ups and all of a sudden a new browser opens..........

2: i think some spyware installed itself.... gotta get chris to uninstall it and FIND it...

3: maybe he can get rid of all my spam emails that tell me how to enlarge my penis........ <_<

[bluecrayon]

Oh, I'm feeling happy tonight...

sometimes the distance is only a minute long...

It's that love thing -- yikes! :ph34r:

[Larrissa]

one glass of wine and i am out of it

made some atcs that look pretty good

teaching the nephew to ride his bike was fun, hes a neat kid

1 must complete a set of ATCs for a LMAO of mine this week

2 much-overdue PO visit today, i hope

3 i've been seeing a career counsellor a few times recently, and just over a week ago did some interests and aptitudes testing with her... the results mostly not a big surprise... environmental stuff is a good field for me... highest interest/values/ability in science professional... hmmm

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - she said she could also see me in psychology, or teaching :o

2 - i have a very small local bit of swelling on my lower lip which appeared shortly after i got out of bed...

3 - gulliver, who came and settled down on my bed when i went to sleep last night, horked up a furball on my bedroom floor in the early hours of the morning, then got back on the bed as if nothing had
