Three random facts:

[gwensmom]

I spent the downtime getting 2 items ready to auction on ebay.

I'm making cake tomorrow!

I have to log off because the thunder and lightening has begun.

[zanna]

oh yay! it's back!

i'm glad i had company over today to keep me entertained and away from the computer so i didn't have time to get all down about the boards being down.

i went to this redneck party last night. i made sure i didn't drink or anything because as soon as i got there these 2 big 'ol redneck boys started hitting on me, and i decided right away that i shouldn't drink and crash there. it just wouldn't be a good combination. :mellow:

[chunkymonkey]

quick hello :wave:

internet back on thursday :yay:

miss you guys :hug:

[Skilyne]

I am watching a show on Saddam Hussein...it is disturbing, but really rather interesting.

Yeah! for Zanna and an end to high school!!!

I am going to a picnic tommorow, but I don't really want to...

It seems later than 10pm.

[Skilyne]

I am all alone here on the boards...someone come and play! :)

I know I posted 4 facts on the last message, but oh well...

I got a tiny bit of a tan today...YIPPEE!

[Lilac]

I'm here all alone again...but then, I didnt really expect anyone to be on here at 12:17 AM (Eastern standard time, that is.)

My son has a friend spending the night. They're upstairs in his room playing video games. I took them to see that disaster movie...can't even remember what is was called (The day After, or something like that). Then we went out for pizza.

Hey Tanagee---PIRATES WON SATURDAY NIGHT!!!! :P

[Larrissa]

here! hyped up on coffe at 10:30 at night. oh yeah :yay:

spend yesterday in the mountains again, up mount evans and a 8 mile hike elsewhere. much fun

wrote a bunch of poems today, couldnt stop em. i love that. and upon rereading, they arent that bad :huh:

[Larrissa]

this connection is slower than slugs walk

reading "language in thought and action" by s.i. hayakawa. love this book, one of the only ive read more than once.

today was the final cleaning of the past house, lots of work.

I'm jealous! Sounds like you had a wonderful day!!!!

I don't have to work tomorrow, my son doesnt have school tomorrow....I could stay up all night playing chain games ---but can you believe I"M TIRED!!! I wish I had Larrissa's pep!

I have hiccups! :angry:

[Larrissa]

pep? more like "spaz-ability" :P

i love that feeling of iceasswind blowing, temperature below zero, and nature just saying "F*CK, YOU PUNY HUMAN!!"

oh i am finding out its great to be me, didnt really know this before

*bonus? my hiccups sound like a screeching bird call, its both funny and very annoying

[medeous]

i watched elvis costello and lucinda williams on crossroads.

elvis can eat crackers in my bed any day.

i got lots of compliments on my hair today, which is weird cause i didn't see anyone new and i didn't do anything new to it...makes me think my mom called everyone she knew and told them i didn't like my hair.

[Curlita]

I love Lucinda Williams.

I couldn't sleep, so I got up to do some constructive things.

And I thought I would stop here first. :)

Gee. And all day I've been thinking that was just a crank phone call. :ph34r:

The trouble with coming here and trying to be clever is that then, if you're a stickler like me, you have to go on and come up with three random facts.

I suppose that one could keep repeating the same three or nine random facts, but it seems like cheating.

I've been reading A.A. Milne this evening.

[medeous]

hammerquill is a chubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff.

one of my facts is not, in fact, a fact but entirely conjecture.

i don't really approve of the english language changing anymore.

[Larrissa]

alright alright, im going to bed now.

what happened to the members viewing list at the bottoms of the pages?

and the ratings and comments in the gallery?

( :'( this maintenence is hurting me, right here *points to heart* )

[Larrissa]

woke up to pee and HAD to check :rolleyes:

the gallery is fixed and stuff

im really quite hungry and the muppets on crack sound scary

[zanna]

dogs woke me up because they had to pee.

thought i'd make a quick swoop in.

to post in a quick few of my favorite threads before heading back to bed ..

[Cuilanië]

I woke up past two pm, in the middle of another weird dream I don't entirely remember...

I've done half the dishes - caught up on 3RF...

I don't remember having coffee yesterday, so I'd better go make some quick...

[Cuilanië]

Today's a holiday here.

The day is sullen and wet.

I'm sick of this wooden chair.

[Larrissa]

music

saturated

ready to go?

[thunderstorm_19]

- one shallow cavity

- going back to the dentist july 12 for filling

- mailed a chunk of things today

[Curlita]

It cracks me up that there were a bunch of us here in the middle of the night, just checking to make sure things were okay. Addicts, we're all addicts!

After checking in here, I went downstairs to do some busywork and watch TV. The baby, who has been a quiet presence, suddenly decided to make like Pele. I glanced down at my belly at one point and noticed that I could see it was moving. About 80% of me was totally enchanted, but the other 20% was a little weirded out ("It's trying to get out! Alien! Aaaagh!").

Perhaps we need a three random vignettes thread. My facts are always awfully long.

[medeous]

the thread used to hem the sleeve of this t-shirt is scratchy on the right sleeve, but not on the left.

my uncle gave me a super-snuggly mattress pad, a bed skirt and a comforter...he redecorates a lot and i'm the grateful recipient of his cast offs.

my dad said i could order a mettress set and new bed for my guest room, on him! i told him to bring his van up and we'd scour the second hand stores for the bed instead of ordering new.

[Sirius]

my mother is attempting to get me involved in an arguement I do not want to participate in....

primarily because she is very upset and I actually think she is wrong...

...the things we have to deal with when we acknowledge we have families...

[Larrissa]

sirius has a family?? :o somehow i find this really odd to realize.

up to the mountains AGAIN today, whoohoo! i love that

ccant think of a third one and i have to get off so the daddy-o can use the phone to call about the weather on top of mt. evans. adios! until later! you know i will be back

[Cuilanië]

It's funny that Larrissa calls her father 'daddy-o'. I used to call mine 'el daddy-o', but it wasn't exactly an endearment...

I want to go up into the mountains too.

Sigh. My roommate came home earlier than I expected and I was caught with the dishes only half-done...

[Curlita]

Something is wrong with the spin cycle on our washer. I keep going downstairs to put clothes in the dryer and finding a textile soup that needs to be spun again.

I also have a headache.

As soon as I'm done with this second spin, the dog and I are venturing out to look for ezerd's ice cream.

[bluecrayon]

Was on the phone with him until 430am this morning...

I am dragging myself tired through the morning, still in my pajamas past noon, unable to focus on much of anything...

but, yikes, I'm happy!!!! :wub:

[zanna]

same here today :)

he called and woke me up at 11:30am this morning ..i really can sleep the day away if i can ever get to sleep ..

i really really should be doing something productive. for the past hour i've been doing nothing but writing in my journal .. <_<

[stargal1998]

1. Happy memorial day!
2. I now will have a 3 day weekend every weekend. We're trying a trial run of a schedule at work, I will work 7 am to 6 pm Tuesday through Friday and get monday off...
3. Since today was a holiday, I get tomorrow off. I will go in to make up two hours, but it's a free day...

[gwensmom]

I just made paper for the first time! It came out nice. I used some letterhead from a business Gwensdad used to have and some old sewing patterns.

Now I am going to call my friend in New Mexico and tell her that yes, I would like to have that old papermaking equipment she doesn't want any more.

Gwensdad is at his parents house and I'm hoping he will bring back some cake.

[zanna]

i talked to my friend richard yesterday online.

i haven't seen him since last october and he invited me up to visit him in atlanta.

i just might take him up on his offer so i can get acquainted with the city i will be moving to come august!

[medeous]

i bought paper-making stuff today at michaels with my 50% off coupon.
it was still pretty expensive.
i'm not going to let myself use it until i clean my house.

[Cuilanië]

It's raining.

I talked to him on the phone three nights in a row. :wub:

I have lots of aluminum can tabs lying around.

[Cuilanië]

I'd like to have a blender.

I could do lots of things with a blender.

A hand-whisk is just too exhausting...

[zanna]

i made paper for the first time a few months back.

i was so proud of myself that i haven't actually used it. i can't bring myself to!

yay! 2,000 posts seems like such a small number when i've had so much fun getting there! ;) :D

[bluecrayon]

Oh, I am a silly thing today...

I have done nothing constructive and i am proud of that!

If I could, I would shoot love at everyone with my fingers!!!!! :)

[tanagee]

taking a break between yard work, making hummingbird nectar and taking a shower.

I have sucessfully mangled my Oleander bushes.

While I was doing the mangling a nice old guy who was just taking a walk stopped and helped me cut up the branches so they'd fit in my yard waste bin

ah! a random act of kindness is reported! makes me feel all warm and fuzzy .. :)

haven't done one thing productive like i told myself i was.

i am going to have to force myself to get up from this wretched computer chair! argh!

[indigo]

I made a nice little postcard for a woman at work here today and it brightened her day immensely. :D

My son is very grouchy today. <_<

My foot hurts... still. :(

[zanna]

i started going through the bathroom closet and began throwing stuff out. it's needed to be cleaned out for years now ..

although i want to focus in my room, the whole house needs to be cleaned.

i suppose i need to get in the mood for a big 'ol summer cleaning. a garage sale sounds really good as well within a few weeks. yep. all it takes is motivation and for the forums to go down again. :P

[Curlita]

My husband and I spent some quality time in the basement going through things and tidying. The obsessive-compulsive in me takes great joy in these acts.

My husband's idea of organization, if unguided, is to throw things in a pile in the basement and run.

We're having chicken weiners and potato salad for dinner!

[siafu]

i got all motivated and took my resume to a closed office because it's memorial day!

i got carded when i was buying cigarettes for heidi. i am 32

i think i would like to eat a steak

[gwensmom]

I am not obsessive or compulsive (except when it comes to food) but i have been decluttering like a fiend this weekend. There are 4 boxes of stuff to go to the thrift store, the church yard sale, the second hand bookstore, etc. And one with art stuff to start an lmao.

I was going to set up my first ebay auctions today but I couldn't get inside the post office to weigh the merchandise because the doors were locked. I don't know why they locked it because no one could get to their p.o. boxes. Must be homeland security or something. Thanks a lot, Mr. Asscroft!

Gwen's summer school starts tomorrow :yay:

[amylyn]

he says HE left me

i went to visit Julie's grave

i took a picture of a dead bat

:(

[Cuilanië]

- I'm awake at this ungodly hour (7:15am). Why...?

- It's raining still. Not motivating for going outside.

- yawn.

[zanna]

for some reason it feels very empty here tonight ..

i've been making cases and organizing all my cd's that are cluttered around my computer for the last two hours.

'arrrgh' is the sound a pirate makes.

[sarahkate]

~ What? No 3 Random Facts were posted for over 9 hours?!!? That's just crazy.

~ I feel as if I have been away from here forever. I think if I had a laptop I would get online a lot more on the weekends.

~ I'm super tired today because I didn't sleep well at all last night.

[Cuilanië]

:wave: Hi SK!!

- I've been sorting out stuff. I've mislaid some important envelopes, but since nothing ever gets lost in here - I hardly ever throw things out in job lots - I'll locate them eventually.

- I've been figuring out ATC numbering...

- I've cleaned two of my fountain pens. The first one I ever bought - I got it in Germany way back when - I think is done for. Sigh.

[gwensmom]

I eagerly took Gwen to her first day of summer school this morning only to find out that it doesn't start until TOMORROW! :wacko: :blush:

One of our babysitters quit giving 3 days notice so now we are down to one sitter. Fortunately she is willing to come every night until we find someone else because her job at a Head Start center is over for the summer.

I am making chocolate cake today for the cake mailing project. yum!

mailing cake? to where, I wonder.

I have been wanting to send a cake to wonky, but am fearful it will be shoe like by the time it gets to her...

do you think I can prevent that?

[sarahkate]

Hi Cuilanië! :wave: Hi gwensmom! :wave: Hi bluecrayon! :wave:

~ I don't like that we are now unable to see who is viewing a thread. This is going to make the chain games. I am guessing there will be lots of double posting.

~ My long weekend was uneventful for the most part, though I did FINALLY plant some flowers in my yard on Friday night. Hurrah! I can't wait to see if the seeds actually grow into pretty little flowers because I had not idea what I was doing when I planted them.

~ I should really update my blog and my LiveJournal, but I'm feeling much too lazy at the moment.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i have to look up a no-walnut/pecan recipe for baklava today

2 i have to clear up the mess down here

3 i have yet to pick up the photos from the film i dropped off before

Here is the project (http://forums.nervousness.org/index.php?showtopic=9952).

I don't like that we are now unable to see who is viewing a threadI don't either! I like to see where people are. But now we have more opportunities to be :ph34r: .

Today I feel like eating. Can you guess what time of the month it is?

[zanna]

I don't like that we are now unable to see who is viewing a thread

i was wondering if it was just something being freaky on my computer, or if it was a change on the boards themselves ..hmm. guess i know now.

i don't like it either, i can't tell if i'm here all by myself or if there are others lurking in the darkness ready to scare me with a post! :ph34r:

started going through my desser today and am pulling out all my shorts that i haven't worn in more than 3 years, and that's a lot. yep.

[stargal1998]

1. I think the only thing that will get me down about this new schedule is going to bed before 1 and getting up before 6.

2. I have 2 reviews to do today.... One on a book I haven't read yet... AGGH!

3. I'm running to the PO, getting my money back for some nasty turkey I bought yesterday at the grocery store and then running into work for two hours sometime between 3 and 4....

[Lilac]

I met a wonderful man - a nature photographer- at the Memorial Day picnic I was at.

I'm still seeing Kevin, though.

So this is a conundrum.

[Curlita]

Go, Lilac! Nothing like keeping your options open.

Something about gwensmom calling John Ashcroft "Mr. Asscroft" really tickles me.

Two more days of work and then I get to go on vacation!

or maybe a triangle.

and triangles are unwieldy and sharp edged

I know because I am in one... :(

[Larrissa]

today i will sit. lots. most of it here at the computer. i damn hell earned it.

and last night i didnt know it at the time, but the evil monthy monster PMS has hit. tears can be stupid, i know from experience. ;) :rolleyes:

so ive given up on THAT and have started THIS. its fine THIS way, really.

Yes...I know. Triangles are too sharp edged for my comfort. I've been in one before and it was none too pleasent.

I don't know what to do. I know Kevin loves me. Loves me with all his heart and soul...but I don't love him in the same intense way. I wish I did. He's such a GOOD man.

I wonder if having a the love of a good man is enough, I mean, maybe I will come to love him one day, the way he loves me. I care for him, I really do. He'd make a wonderful husband. Oh...I could go on and on....but it gives me a headache!

[tanagee]

I had a dream that I found a picture of bluecrayon deep within a thread burried on the last page of the forums.

She was beautiful.

apathy is creeping in again.

[stargal1998]

1. Days of our lives is just ridiculous.
2. I have a feeling if my mom hadn't watched it while preggers with me and all through my childhood I wouldn't watch it.
3. I need to go check the mail again, LOL...

[Lilac]

Ok...well, I'm going to go and be productive now.

.....draggin my unwilling fingers away from the keyboard....

...thinking that maybe I'll check just ONE more post....

*jumps out of nowhere* BOO! :ph34r: Did I scare you Zanna?

Something about gwensmom calling John Ashcroft "Mr. Asscroft" really tickles me.I got that from this site. (http://www.presidentmoron.com/)

I subscribed to Readymade magazine. It is so cool!

[medeous]

i just read an article on talking dirty. :blush:
i had a break at school, so i locked the door and whipped out the cell phone. :ph34r:
and got a busy signal. <_<

[nymphette]

1: harrison's g-tube came halfway out this morning- and i couldn't get it either back in, or out to replace it!!!! :eek: w hich meant a trip to the ER, yet again.... <sigh> good thing my ultrasound was at the hospital (and as it turned out, down the hall from where harrison's pediatric surgeon is, where we ended up taking him!!!)

2: the nurse pushed it right back in, had to wiggle it around a bit while harrison screamed the whole time... i told her 'i guess i gave up too soon after he started to cry... i should have dug around to push it in i guess'....

3: that's why mom's aren't the best for doing surgical procedures on their own kids i guess.... poor little baby.... :(

[nymphette]

1: i had a diet pepsi today on the way into the city- i didn't get all my water drank (for the ultrasound) \before i left, so i just grabbed a pop... pepsi for breakfast... bad mommy....

2: then julian was being a little bratski on our way home, so i stopped to get a coffee... and they didn't put my sugar or cream in and i didn't know until i got home!!!! :'( so it's icky, with 2% milk in it.... and i am not enjoying it at all, so i dont' think i'll finish it...

3: julian would drink it if i let him.... he needs the caffeine even less than me though!!!! :wacko:

[nymphette]

1: i burned my hand at my mom's last weekend... i opened the oven to broil some garlic buns and rested my hand on the inside of the door...

2: it looks like a piece of bacon stuck to the back o f my hand....

3: yech

[medeous]

i want my honey here :wub:
well, not here here in the computer lab at school, but here in the same town at least
i started stripping the wallpaper in my bathroom this morning while i brushed my teeth...i forgot my meds. :D

[siafu]

heidi asked for chocolate chip cookies, so i made the dough and put it in the over. it's usually her job to get stuff out of the oven. she left a cookie in there for like half an hour. now the house is stinko. :angry:

i'm sore today.

i also have to get back to studying. :(

[Cuilanië]

- It's too humid out there, and kinda cold.

the oprah summer book is anna karenina. what do you think of that?

1: i have to get my boys into bed an hour early today.... becuse of my appt this am i had harrison running faster on his feeding pump over night.. and he ended at 7 am!!! :o so he's almost back on track- he'll be an hour early this feed and his 7 pm one (was 2 hours early last one) and then tomorrow will be on track again....

1. I only have 4 more days with my sweetie before I must go work for a living, and he works a shift on all of them.

1. I wish nymphette would e-mail me a picture of mungo bean on my WORK e-mail address!!!

okay he got in my face and insulted me about art being the most important thing in my life. said two weeks for a jopb or your outta here. im trying to block out the new anxiety now.

my priorities may be screwed but i feel good about myself this way.

i can always go stay at my dads.

(what an asshole! :o GRRRRR!)

sorry about sharing a bit o negativity.

it must be neat to have a love or sibling to play in here with.

this is too many facts

im disobeying the rules!

arrgh! thats what the pirates say :)

[indigo]

I already have 113 posts!

It IS fun to have someone you know to play with here.

I am hopeful that very soon I will feel like you all are my family... B)

[nymphette]

1: my family is your family... and these guys are my family..... :P

2: i made granola bars two days ago, but they didn't stick together... :( they still taste really yummy!!!!

3: i have no clue what to make for supper.... i supose the boys would be fine on kraft dinner.... <_< but me?? yech!!!

[Curlita]

It's the Nymphette and Indigo show! You guys make me wish my sis was on n-ness, but she isn't an internet addict like me.

I need chocolate. I think I will blame it on Theresa's description of melty cookies.

I'm supposed to be writing a direct mail letter, but am uninspired. Can't we just send everyone a postcard that says, "Give us money or else YOU KNOW WHO gets it!"

Curlita, can I steal this idea? We are also sending desperate end-of-the-fiscal-year mailings.

I'm glad my sister isn't on nervousness. At Christmas she said she was going to check out the site and I frantically searched every post I had made with the word "sister" in it and deleted a few things! :o

My attention span is down to about 3 seconds today.

[Larrissa]

i will resist!

this bad mood will be put on hold.

i am now going to go make some art and listen to loud music.

I am supposed to be studying for the AEPA exam right now....

My mother wanted to join NNESS. I told her I didn't want to share. I didn't want to have to search through over 4,000 posts to find out what I have typed about her...

Anyone want to pretend to be related?

[zanna]

i wish i had a family member who wanted to join nervousness ..but i'm quite lacking when it comes to having an actual family anyways .. :(

i'm on disk two in season 3 of 'friends'.

i figure i've got time to rent and watch all the episodes ..it's only taken me about 4 weeks to get through the first 2 seasons though. hmm.

[tanagee]

I'm an only child and everyone else in my family has a life :)

Got a phone call from my hubby while I was browsing in Michaels (so many good things...so little $$$) basically telling me to go right home and don't drive my car until he gets a chance to replace the water pump.

I HATE being stuck at home, and his truck is WAAAYYY too big for wimpy little me

[Skilyne]

I don't know why- or what is wrong, but I am feeling very restless, antsy, and in general just not right.

It is really bothering me...Alot!

I am feeling a bit sad also.

[Skilyne]

I just posted, but oh well...

I am feeling so full of...I don't know...pent up something or other.

I have a feeling I may explode.

Me too, Slilyne! Mine is PMS and the fact that I have been stuck at home for too many days in a row.

I had a great mail day today! :)

I wonder if Rustell will have leftover T-shirts from her community center picnic again this year?

I'm supposed to be writing a direct mail letter, but am uninspired. Can't we just send everyone a postcard that says, "Give us money or else YOU KNOW WHO gets it!"
Curlita, can I steal this idea? We are also sending desperate end-of-the-fiscal-year mailings.
[/b][/quote]
Sure! Maybe we should create a direct mail LMAO. Everyone can suggest a cause and then we can all write letters for each other and see how over the top we can be...

Or maybe I'm just being a little too non-profit nerdish.

I'm going to sneak out 15 minutes early. Shhh! Don't tell anyone!

[medeous]

i just read an article on talking dirty.

can i ask where might you have found this article to read?

May issue of Glamour, pg 124 : Jake's guide to talking dirty.

i am glad that no one i know in real life is on nervousness...i like to keep my life compartmentalized.

sirius, be my sister.

[tanagee]

I saw a bag of 400 foreign stamps at Michaels and I should have bought them even if I couldn't think of anything at the moment I would use them for.

I want to start an online business but I am afraid no one would buy what I am planning to sell.

I think I am going to make what I want to sell for all the n'ness mommies and get their opinions.

[Larrissa]

all better.

until later, damn hormones.

i hope chunkymonkey is doing okay

[Skilyne]

I am SO EXCITED for my brother, because he thinks he may get to return from Iraq in September...and he can see his 6-month old son again...

Only 1 month and 3 days until I leave for NYC!!!

I am still feeling restless and antsy and weird, but maybe...like Gwensmom mentioned...it is PMS or similarly related.

[Larrissa]

*the following post is to be read in a loud seamans accent.*

argh mateys! whatcha all doin' offline?

landblubbering stepfather tellin me to get a job! i don't like to be a slave! i prefer slob by far!

and today i did nothin but sit. just like i said i would! i deserved it, you seahag!

*thank you for your cooperation*

[Larrissa]

well! i dont know who posted under my name, but i would never call you a seahag.

blame sucks.

crickets are cool.

[Larrissa]

another another! i drank espresso today on an empty stomach and it combined with the *confrontation* to equal the shakes supreme.

did all four more puzzle peices, did the jam atc, and typed some *crappy poetry into the computer.

i have lots of ideas for lmaos lately, but have to ignore them. i should be writing them down for later, perhaps? i no longer have unlimited postage and this pile of mail is actually waiting for me to get some money. i do need a slave job. DAMN

[gwensmom]

There are not enough people posting right now.

You people who have lives- stop what you are doing and come entertain me!

I signed up for a jewelry making lmao :)

[Skilyne]

I want to become a full member so badly!

I am watching meaningless television and playing in the forums.

I am eating some DELICIOUS chicken that I made on the grill earlier...yum.

[medeous]

i love thin crust pizza.

i spackled the nail holes in the purple bedroom and apparently the holes in my hair since it had a fair amount of spackling in it also.

my parents got a ten week old pug boy pup. :wub:

I am hoping Skilyne's brother does indeed get to come home in September... sigh. I am hoping everyone gets to come home from Iraq.

I am feeling restless and antsy and weird, too, because soon I will be going back to see infatuation guy -- my body has a hard time sitting still and my mind has a hard time focusing...

I think it's love related... ;)

[Skilyne]

It is very possible that this feeling I have is love related...I DID see him today...for a bit.

Thanks Bluecrayon!

I just bit my tongue...OUCH!

[zanna]

i spent the last two hours trying to rack my brain [and the net] for really good love songs.

i would say that i am going to be making the most kick-butt romantic mix cd ever, but since that isn't allowed here anymore, well, i'm not. :mellow:

ARRRGH says the pirates! i'm off to bed .. cheerio! :)

[Curlita]

I thought that pirates said "Aaarrr!" and frustrated people said "Arrrgh!"

I spent the evening walking the dog, eating dinner, and crafting with a friend.

Tommorrow night I need to pack for my trip to San Diego!

[Larrissa]

i felt like a frustrated pirate. though not anymore :)

sometimes i see or hear something thats not supposed to be funny, and i laugh heartily. like sometimes the news. and sometimes commercials. usually parts of hollywood movies i shouldnt be watching.

i gave a neutral feedback and it hurt. hurt me and probably hurt her, if she ever comes back :(

[Larrissa]

obviously there was some sort of mistake. is it really possible no one posted facts all night long??

my cat is cornered by the dog, who wont stop staring or move an inch.

woke up all hungry and had two bowls of cereal. i dont know what im going to do today.

[gwensmom]

Gwen has been crying this morning. her antibiotic is upsetting her stomach. :(

A warm rice bag helped a lot and now we are going to try some peppermint tea.

today is her first day of summer school and she has GOT to go so that I can go to work for a while.

[bluecrayon]

aw, poor Gwen. I am also taking antibiotics in preparation for surgery on my neck Friday. My stomach is upset, too. :(

peppermint tea sounds like a good idea...

I saw my tumor on the screen in my doctor's office yesterday -- it's pretty gnarly looking, indeed! yikes...

[Larrissa]

morning gwensmom and miss blue :wave:

my family is full of jerks, like me for instance

now that i changed my avatar, all i want to do is go change it again! :rolleyes:

[Lilac]

I'm leaving for a pre-construction site in an hour...and I have a sick stomach. I hope I don't develop "the runs" while I'm out there.

I'm extremely nervous about my meeting with the bank tonight. Nervousness always affects my intestinal "proceedings."

Not Nervousness.org, though! :lol: If that were so, I'd never be here!

[Curlita]

Lilac, I share your malady. When I was single I used to have to take a big dose of Pepto before first dates.

The tip of my middle finger itches. It is annoying.

I need to go shower and start moving if I want to make my goal of getting to work early.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 would "Aaarrr!Arrrgh!" be a frustrated pirate?

2 that probably wasn't very funny

3 i gave myself a blister yesterday -- i was trying to get the caps off my oil paints (which i still haven't managed to get rid of), to see if they actually would come off -- well, by golly, they sure came off when i was done with them. but now my finger hurts.

[stargal1998]

1. Reviews are almost done for the books... I have to find the one on the desktop. I was supposed to have sent them last night.
2. Realized said computer is not booting up and I will have to majorly fix stuff tonight. Sigh...
3. I'm thinking veggie soup and ramen noodles for lunch...

1 Happy Clean Air Day to my fellow Canadians

2 we are having a garage sale on saturday

3 i think i know how i will vote in the election at the end of the month

[stargal1998]

1. I wonder where miss Sarakate is. I make one step into the forums to say hi and she's not here... :-P
2. I guess I'll have to go back to the loverly world of html.
3. :P :P :P :P :P

Actually, I thought it was pretty funny. I always laugh at pirate jokes.

I don't like Lenny Kravitz's new look. His hair looks icky.

She popped in for a moment earlier this evening.

lol! I've been busy....plus, at the beginning of may (when that was posted)....actually, that exact day, was when William and Isaiah were born/died (well, technically Isaiah died on the 8th, but still) so I wasn't really doing anything for a while.

I've been busy with doing stuff for the farmer's market, and just plain having fun, being able to go out and do things and not be a hermit in my dorm room

She also, in true Christine form, posted an answer to a thread between the time I looked at it (when she wasn't even listed on the board) and the time I clicked "post reply". Fastest keyboard in the West.


Hehe, all those years spent on All The Right Type and Mario Teaches Typing truly paid off :P

I took a nap this afternoon.

I need to seriously clean up my computer.

he called me at 11 and woke me from my deep sleep. :wub:

once we got off the phone i all of a sudden had this boost of motivation to start cleaning the living room.

it's coming along, really slowly though. and it doesn't help that my tummy feels like it's going to give out on me any second. blah. :(

[stargal1998]

1. My best work friend's last day is friday.
2. She's moving to Northern California.

There were lots of people at Gwen's summer school who knew her and had worked with her before including the nurse and her occupational therapist.

So, this is the first time in 5 years of summer school that I wasn't panicked at the prospect of leaving Gwen in a new situation. It felt good.

I went back to work today too. At first I didn't want to go, but once I got there it felt good to be back and have a lot of grown-ups to talk to.

[Skilyne]

I have been still feeling strange and sort of antsy all day today.

I also feel sick to my stomach.

I think my stomach is because I am having a bit of trouble figuring him out.

caffiene and honey sticks, WHOOHOO :yay: there needs to be a jumpy bugeyed hyper icon, oh and stress to the mix too, and scrubbing bubbles fumes. i cleaned the bathroom

why cant i just be all normal and go get a slavejob all easy like? i have no idea how to start. going out by myself still scares me a bit.

hey, whatever happened to atomic cocktail?
i don't know- it's like she dropped off the face of the planet. I googled her and couldn't find anything.

I have some chocolate cake! I made it for the cake mailing project.

1: on my way to the ER again... 2 times in two days....

2: same thing as yesterday...i knew the 78 year old doctor should hve just put a new button in...... it's pulled half way out and i ca't get it in....

Hugs to Robyn and Harrison. Congrats to siafu, even though there should be MORE of siafu in the world, and not less.

Time to pack!

[medeous]

an orbital hand sander is (and i'm just making this up, so don't pay me any mind) is a sander that you hold in your hand and it swirls around quickly in little orbits.

i'm going to put up a new shower curtain rod because i got a new shower curtain and the old plastic rings weren't snazzy enough for it, so i got these nifty little hooks with ceramic buttons on them, but the hooks aren't big enough to go around the old rod.

i'm doing that now.

[zanna]

well my plans for the night just got shot-down with one phone call.

so i'm sitting at home all dressed up and ready to leave the house for the first time in two whole days, but alas, i have nowhere to go and no one to go with. :(

i guess i'll just sit around and twiddle my thumbs ..

[medeous]

shower curtain rod installed, complete with new curtain, liner, and snazzy hooks.

looks a little girlier than i expected.

but the bathroom looks lighter.

[Larrissa]

made the radiohead atc's, they turned out damn well. after making the thread atcs i have a new obsession with THREAD on everything. oooh i will have to take pictures of these before sending them into the void of the postal system :D

damn hell ass mailman, apparently is a snobby anal turkey lover. i just may have to offer him cookies, as i think it was kittymao suggested :) wouldnt take my perfectly acceptably sized mail with only one stamp, i have seen the damn requirements sheet, buddy, and these will go through your machines! too bad when under pressure i have a tendancy to just say "okay. thats fine!" just to make the situation end quickly.

this prurple avatar thing i kinda love and kinda think it makes me sick :lol:

[Sirius]

Medeous and I are now sisters.

Yeah! I've never had one of those before....

Now, as your sister I suggest you get off your booty and do what you know you need to do...

[Sirius]

It's official. I have a cold.

I have a cold and it is 108degrees today.

One should not be sick in the summer. Colds seem so wintery.

[zanna]

hmm ..is anyone else in need of a sister?

me, i've been an only child all my life.

i used to pretend my cousins were my siblings when i was younger. i just didn't think it was fair that heather [my cousin the same age as me] was a child of 5, and i was only a child of 1. :mellow:

Right now we have about 300 left...they are tan with blue print this year.

Everyone is so excited because in ever year past they have been white t-shirts. When everyone raves, I smile when I really want to jump up and down and say "my idea! my idea!"

so it's going to be cottage cheese, pickles and popsicles for dinner, i 'spose.

[Jacey]

I want a sister...I've got lots of brothers to trade ;)

Which is probably why I gave birth to four kids, I felt the need to keep it even

I'm eating not one, but TWO chocolate chip muffins from Tim Horton's

[Larrissa]

so i sent james an email, at a non-aol address. and somehow his aol name gets added to my recent buddies list. its freaking me out. he is apparently on a cellphone. :blink: especially considering the content :blink:

so i tried to start a stinking livejournal, but the site is all busy and broken, i shall try again.

i have two younger sisters, i both love and hate them both.

[zanna]

yay!

i can see who's online playing now again!!

now ya'll can't go on scaring me with unexpected posts ..cause i can see you now! :P

[gwensmom]

Damn! No more jumping out and scaring Zanna!


I only have one sister and I want some more. I didn't have any brothers so I guess I want some of those too.

I want a new shower curtain. Gwensdad insists on having a see-through shower curtain because "otherwise it would be too dark in the shower". But I know that it is really because he is a voyeur.

I hate it that Robyn is at the emergency room again :'( . those episodes are just exhausting.

[joliejoliebobolie]

I have 4 sisters & wouldn't trade them for the world!

I posted in my livejournal tonight after 4 months of hiding from it.

I walked over & asked my neighbor to turn down his Pink Floyd so I could sleep in peace. I've griped about him before here, and he was surprisingly nice and apologetic...makes me feel bad that I've been so cranky about him.

I think I live VERY close to Angela! Like an HOUR away!

[Lilac]

I have a twin sister, a 21 year old sister, a 14 year old sister and a 9 year old brother. I adore them all!

Thumbs up for the business loan. God...I'm really going to do this?

Don't want to think about the business loan. I've been dreaming of this for years and to have it there within my grasp actually scares the sh*t out of me! This is like one of the scariest decisions of my life!!!!

[Larrissa]

GO LILAC! you so can do anything if you can deal with a pissed off old goat, who climbs trees.

assboy, have you heard of assboy? yeah well hes on the couch smoking pot and blasting bad music. bad assboy.

i havent shaved my legs for a long long time and im wearing shorts. if my mother noticed she would go all bitching about it.

[Lilac]

My Mother noticed that I hadnt shaved my legs (or pits) and went out and bought me one of those new "Intuition" razors...as if the reason I hadnt shaved was because I lacked a razor. She tells me that I am uncouth.

I am so worked up about this business thing that I am going to take an alaprazolam. I can't stop shaking!!

Bad, Bad Assboy!!! Tell him to pass you the dooob!

[Larrissa]

naww, i would get all paranoid and have to hide :D :D :D i only smoke when alone

when i was 16, i came of out the shower and the mother saw my 2 inch long :o armpit hair and ordered me back to the bathroom.

sometimes i just gloss over the fact i am such a freak. yep :)

back and everything's okay....

new g-tube put in... same nurse, different dr. on call... she said 'do you want me to try to overfill and pop the balloon so we can get it out to replace it???' uh, yeah... you guys tried filling it yesterday and no dice, obviously!!! we couldn't get anything out of the balloon, so i had a feeling it was broken, but it didn't make sense because it should have been drawing fluid out of his tummy, if the balloon was broke...

faulty valve, i guess, worked one way, but not the other, once the balloon popped... it ws broken all the while, just broken in such a way that it was hard to get it out of his poor little tummy.... :(

thank god that's over for another couple months.. till next time.... :ph34r:

[Sirius]

i think nymphette needs to find a new hospital.....

how am i supposed to study for the AEPA history exam? it can ask me anything about anything that has happened in the past 10,000 years? where am I supposed to focus? Three questions= one fact

zicam is the recommended otc wunder-drug of the day...i'll let you know if it works...

[Sirius]

i failed to mention that i am so happy that all is well at the nymphette camp

i can be a heartless wench like that, but it is not intentional....

so....

Yeah! Glad to hear the good news. Here is to hoping all goes smoothly now and no more emergencies for a long long while!

[Lilac]

Glad to see Nymphette back!

Hope this little problem is all cleared up and she won't need anymore emergency room visits!

Hugs to Nyphette and Harrison!

oh, need to send an emailll

2. a little clearer than just in the avatar....

3. some pictures are a challenge to take...

[medeous]

is that on your bod, sirius?

you need to PM me and remind me which thing, because i was supposed to do something for nan, something for my mom, some doctor thing and a billion other things i can't remember.

i just licked the roof of my mouth because this better sex article said that it was some super turn on to do it to your partner, but it just tickled and i think it would annoy me if someone did it to me.

yeah, i use the 'net for purient interests.

[stargal1998]

1. Everytime I sneeze due to allergies, the other chick in my dept. who sits in the cube in front of me, HAS TO SPRAY arm and hammer type germ killer in the air.
2. I told her that that stuff probably wouldn't work and she said, 'I don't want to get sick.' She's a hypochondriac in the worst way.
3. I think the spray is more than likely causing a lot of my allergies.


I think it's going to be a long day.

[sarahkate]

~ zanna can be my sister, I think she would make a great one! Though, I already have a 17 year old sister, so you would have to share me. Oh, and since we have years worth of catching up on sisterhood to do I hope zanna is prepared for nasty pinching, shoving, hair pulling fights. :P

~ I had a very, very sad night last night. I came home from work, and as I was on my way to check the mail I saw a baby pigeon on the ground. It must have fallen from a nest that the birds built on our roof. The bird was still alive. It was breathing very heavily, its whole body was kind of heaving every few seconds. I ran inside, and got a little box to put it in. I didn't know what to do after this, so I left the bird in the box on the ground and then I went back in and went online quickly to see if I could find info about rescuing baby birds. The only good info I found suggested that I build a new nest out of a little container of some sort and attach it with wire to the tree it fell out of. Since the bird didn't fall out of a tree and there were none close by I knew this wouldn't work, and there isn't an easy way to get on the roof. Finally my boyfriend got home from work, he tried calling a local animal shelter/vet to see what they would say, but of course they were closed for the day. Then he called his mom and she said she knows a game warden so she tried giving him a call. In the meanwhile I gathered some bunches of dead grass and things to put in the box to make a nest for the bird. I bundled him in there as best as I could, but by then I think he had died. I sat there watching him, hoping I would see some movement, for a long time but sadly he wasn't moving anymore. :'( I feel bad. I just wonder if there was something I could have done to save him if I had acted sooner.

~ That was a very long fact. I guess I could have just written a shortened version like..... I found a baby bird yesterday, it died, I was sad. But that just doesn't do justice to the situation dammit.

[sarahkate]

~ I forgot to mention the baby bird was still so young it didn't even have all of its feathers. Birds usually really freak me out, but I couldn't just leave that one there to die alone. I didn't even want to bury it last night because I was afraid it might still be alive, so we kept it in the little nest/box and locked it in our shed overnight. I checked on it this morning and it's most definitely dead. :(

~ After locking the bird in the shed my boyfriend accidentally locked the keys in his company's van that he had for the night. As far as he knew his boss never made a copy of the key, and he couldn't get ahold of anyone at work so we had to call a lock smith and spend $60 for them to unlock the door. His boss probably won't be reimburse him for it because he forgot to ask for a receipt.

~ After that whole fiasco we were starving so we got pizza for dinner. White garlic pizza. It wasn't very good, too greasy. What a suck ass night. I'm hoping today will be at least a slight improvement.

[siafu]

last night i found out that my ex had a baby with her present partner.

it made me feel upset.

then i felt guilty for being upset.

[stargal1998]

1. I think today/yesterday was just a bad 24 hours for people, esp. after reading siafu and sarahkate's posts...

2. Someone told Nick that our cars probably got broken into because of Nick's old friends. Isn't that horrible to say.

3. I don't think that's true, as Nick's old friends would've completed the jobs, not made multiple trips, wouldn't have nearly gotten caught by Nick and wouldn't have left coat hangers IN the vehicles... But what do I know, I just read a lot of mysteries and enjoy CSI?

[medeous]

siafu: :hug:

i get very angry with my ex sometimes that he has a job and a house and another car and a baby with his current wife and was just a slacker asshole when we were married. :angry:

i wouldn't have him back, but i would've liked the house and money and car and baby. :unsure:

i know for a fact that i wouldn't have him back, because he asked me a second time before he asked her. :P

1. Never feel guilty for your feelings, hon. You're too cool for that.

2. Sarahkate, I am really glad you overlooked your feelings about birds to help the lil' one.

3. I talked to my head boss about the break in and he reassured me that it was a big deal in this area.

[sarahkate]

~ So...I think we should just officially declare June 2nd as Craptastic Day. This will allow us to prepare ourselves for the impending doom next year.

~ Your car was broken into Nicole?! :o I didn't know that. Did I miss a post about it somewhere? Well that's not right. I don't know why people feel it's ok to steal others belongings.

~ Hey, it's Thursday. Isn't chunkymonkey supposed to be back today? Where is that chica? I miss her!

[sarahkate]

~ Howdy Robyn! :wave: Pregnant Robyn. ^_^ :)

~ I haven't done any creating lately. I want to try something new. Maybe sometime this week I will take a stab at making an altered book or ..... making a bookmark or something like that.

~ I have been wanting to create a new LMAO of some sort but I really shouldn't until I catch up on all of the LMAOs that I have signed up for.

[tanagee]

:wave: Hello everybodeee!

uno...I really want to go see Harry Potter and I don't think my hubby will want to go and I don't want to go by myself and I can't take Megan so I think I will ask my friend and her 12 year-old daugher if they want to go... now to find someone to watch Megan.

due...I have had my sprinklers running for 1/2 an hour.

tre...I have one body made for the freaky/geeky fundraiser/swap...hand sewing was really tough but I am intimidated to use my gma's machine cuz I have not used one in 20 years. Have you started yet SK? :P

1 best wishes and thoughts for bluecrayon

2 the green party are excluded from the leaders' debate, again *grr*

3 no mail again for me today

[Larrissa]

baby birds make me both
:yay: and :'(

i was all invited to a lmao after the due date :D i should put this in the mailbox, actually im going to the post office, no scratch that, post STATION so i can just do it there. dont want the mailman to decide against the rules that it needs an extra 12cents and leave it here

uh i think telling who he thought it was might have been a bit of a mistake, maybe my obsessive qualities were unknown. its weirding me out

(ooooh, i love being all ambiguous in here :rolleyes:)

good luck and hope and "weird computer hugs" to anyone who is need of them, i have love to spare

~ No I still haven't started mine!! :o I'm so bad. I have been putting it off, thinking "oh...I have until the middle of June" but now the middle of June is less than 2 weeks away! Yikes! I definitely have to work on them this week.

~ I keep getting crazy tingling pain in my legs, especially in the middle of the night, and now it's happening to me as I'm sitting here at work this morning. This worries me. I am guessing it's because I get almost no exercise and I spend the majority of my day sitting on my bum.

~ Lunch time! Time to go home for a few minutes and let the doggy out. If I had a longer lunch break (I usually only take a half hour) I would take Delilah for a walk, but I probably don't have time for that.

[gwensmom]

I had my first real free time today in two weeks! :yay: I did a million errands in about 2-1/2 hours.

I had to take my car through inspection. :angry: It is usually a 1 -2 hour frustrating ordeal. This time I went to the inspection station downtown like Gwensdad suggested and I was out of there in about 20 minutes! Now I just have to shell out $104 for my registration :( .

I went to a bead store but I got there at 10 and they didn't open until 11. How disappointing!

- This almost made me choke on my spaghetti. medeous' answer almost made me snort out coffee. Are you two out to get me? :lol:

- I haven't read the rest of the random facts yet. I just had to post that first.

- What am I doing drinking coffee at seven pm, might you ask... It's the first of the day, and too late to stave off the withdrawal headache, so I guess I can't answer that question.

Medeous and I are now sisters.

Yeah! I've never had one of those before....
- I remember being an only child, until my brother's birth. I was three.

- I wanted a sister. I even asked my parents for a sister... I got two brothers instead.

- But I might have been disappointed with my sister, because what I really wanted was a twin... :P

My Mother noticed that I hadnt shaved my legs (or pits) and went out and bought me one of those new "Intuition" razors...as if the reason I hadnt shaved was because I lacked a razor. She tells me that I am uncouth.
- heh... I much, much prefer waxing to shaving. But I don't have the money to spare to get them done (and I'm a wimp when it comes to pulling on the darn strips myself - not to mention the fact that the one time I actually managed it, most of the wax stayed stuck to my leg and I ended up only pulling at the hairs... ouch...), so they haven't been done in over two months.

- Cheers and encouragements to Lilac. I'd probably be scared senseless at the perspective of starting a business...

- Hugs, Robyn, glad everything's OK!

1 it's gorgeous outside

2 i'm drinking green tea

3 i want my pictures

[ibiddy_boo]

Sarahkate, that was such a wonderful story about the baby bird! i'm sorry it died, but birds are very fragile....they seem to go into shock instantly, and rarely recover. :(

Bluecrayon.....many good wishes are being sent out to you! :hug:

Siafu.....i dunno....i'm the same way...thought i was the only one, but glad i'm not. i don't know how you feel about your ex, but i really don't like mine at all. i guess i get upset for the reason medeous mentioned.

[ibiddy_boo]

Green tea sounds good, i think i'll make some also.

i decided Thursday is not a good day to begin a diet....it's much too close to the weekend, and weekends were made for enjoyment, not for refraining.

i feel very lonely today.

1. I looked and sure enough, I didn't post... I am such a slacker. I can't believe people still talk to me on here...

2. I'm going to make it to one of the local bookcrossing meetups at some point in the future.

3. Hello, Robyn. Have a great day creating...

[Cuilanië]

- Good luck for tomorrow, cb. :)

- I like Siriustell's tattoo avatar. Yes, I know it's her tattoo. :P

- I'm going to have to make ginger lemonade again this weekend. I go through that stuff fast.

[siafu]

you guys made me feel so much better about being upset. i don't like her much either, so i just wanted the happy scene bit. i will have my happy scene eventually.

i went for a physical. the doctor checked my spleen, my ovaries, my liver, lots of organs.

she also gave me some vitamins.

[hammerquill]

I was once asked to design a pair of round Celtic knot tattoos.

I haven't had any ginger lemonade for several weeks.

I wish that at least once one of my carefully asked questions I e-mail to my local NPR station would be read/summarized correctly, and not twisted to make me sound like some angry reactionary.

[Sirius]

a bunch o' facts...I have to eat to take the antibiotics for my cold (or else I get sick to my stomach on top of being sick)...so, i got out of bed to go get food and discovered i am really dizzy -- enough that I don't want to attempt descending the stairs...but, of course, the computer was close by...

Now, I get to decide if at 30, I am too old to call my mommy and ask her to bring me food. She has keys, so i wouldn't have to venture to let her in...I think I'd prefer that than calling Brian and seeing if he can leave work. I'm more likely to just try the stairs in small doses. Just wish my head didn't feel like a boulder wobbling on my shoulders....

The cat is useless in times like this....

[Sirius]

three random wonderings...

i wonder if HQ designed the tattoos, since he only mentioned that he was asked...

i wonder how BC/CB is doing today...

i wonder if my new sister will say hello today

[sarahkate]

~ Awww...ibiddy_boo - I wish I could come keep you company so you wouldn't be lonely. I could tell you all of the sad animal stories I have. (I actually have quite a few :() and I could tell you a few happy animal stories too!

~ I have been wearing flip-flops almost everyday for the past few weeks. They make my feet happy.

~ Ginger lemonade. Hmm.... interesting. Now I want some lemonade!

[Sirius]

my i'm sick and dizzy random facts reads a lot more melodramatic than i anticipated....

i recently learned that during WWII there was a German POW camp at Papago Park. They got a hold of a map and spent months digging an escape tunnel. They had built themselves a canoe and carried it to the salt river which was marked on the map.

this is very funny/sad because if you live here you know that our rivers are dry 90% of the time, so they merely found a riverbed with puddles.

[gwensmom]

I bought something on ebay and paid with paypal. The seller is now awol and hasn't communicated or even claimed my payment.

I tried to cancel the payment. the directions said to click on the cancel button in the action column. there is nothing in the action column.

So I sent a q to paypal and they want me to call them at a number that is not toll free.

Can anyone tell me how to get my payment back???

1 i've signed the party's petition and sent emails complaining about this fact

2 if this were "my house" (it's my parents') i'd have a green party lawn sign put up (even though i hate those lawn signs, it'd give me a real kick just to see *one* green party sign up around here)

3 must...sort...stuff...

[sarahkate]

~ I think Sirius should call her mom.

~ I think Sirius's mom would like that and it would make her feel all warm and gooshy inside to know that her daughter still needs her. :wub:

~ Speaking of moms, I think gwensmom is a cool mom. I wonder if gwen would mind sharing her with me? Though, it would be funny having a mother who has the same name as I do. :P

[ibiddy_boo]

Poor Sirius! Don't venture stairs....call mommy!

Thanks Sarahkate :wub: Flipflops....was there ever a greater invention?? Well, perhaps chocolate....but they don't exactly make one's feet happy.

i've never had ginger lemonade either, but it sounds interesting.

are you sure the payment wasn't claimed? i think the action to cancel goes away after they claim it...

Try this number 1-877-672-9725

it's an 800 number for paypal....

[sarahkate]

~ I wish I knew a definite way to help. All I can think of is maybe calling your bank and asking if there is some way they can put a stop payment on anything that comes out of your account from Paypal. I'm not sure if they will be able to do that or not, but it's worth asking.

~ I have never had a bad experience with a seller on Ebay (yet). Though, I haven't bought very many things there.

~ One time on Ebay I bought a metal South Park sign as a joke gift for my boyfriend. The seller accidentally sent me the wrong sign, so I emailed her to let her know about the mistake and to tell her I would send the other sign back to her. She replied telling me to keep the incorrect sign and she would also send me the correct one. That was nice :) Too bad all Ebay sellers can't be so good.

[Sirius]

maybe ibbidy should bring me food, then i wouldn't be hungry and she wouldn't be lonely....

i wonder what everyone else sets their AC to...mine is at 80degrees...considering it is 108 outside...my electricity bill already runs between 2-300 dollars a month, if I set it lower, yech....

<_<

[gwensmom]

Rustell, I still have some cake left over from the cake mailing project. Shall I mail you some too? BTW- thanks for the number- I will try it. the payment is definitely unclaimed.

Haha! Sarahkate I'm not sure if I am old enough to be your mom. I don't know how to be a mother to anyone who can actually talk to me. I'm very good at dishing up pureed food however.

I told Gwensdad that he was out of tortilla chips and he laughed because I'm the one who ate most of them.

[stargal1998]

1. OOOh mailed cake...

2. Ooooh Ginger lemonade. It sounds good though I've never had it.

3. HQ, any letters not being understood by radio personalities are meant to sound reactionary on the air. It's a defense mechanism they teach us in sophomore year. LOL. The same year they teach us that no matter what, we're (the press) is always right. YEAH RIGHT...

[gwensmom]

OK, I found out that I can't cancel the payment unless the seller is not a registered paypal user and this seller is. And here is something weird- I checked the aucti
