Three random facts:

[Curlita]

Big :hug: to Tana, Cindy and Robyn!

My husband used to work for Black Angus. The whole chain is going downhill from what I've heard. Thank god he has moved on. We used to call it The Black Anus.

I just called my dad to say hi. He's on painkillers for a herniated disk. I don't think either of us are sure what we talked about, but it was probably the longest chat we've had by phone and we both laughed a lot.

[hammerquill]

I just called my father to say "got chocolate"?

We now get to find out if chocolate, hazelnuts, and apricot curd go together okay.

Yes, I am trying to kill all of your diets and resolutions.

[Sirius]

Where's Nymphette? Harry Connick Jr. is coming! Harry Connick Jr. is coming! He'll be here July 21st. If any of you are curious as to where I will be July 21st you now know.

I was very upset that with Dreyer's selling their Dreamery line to cool brands, my favorite ice cream in the whole-wide-world Grandma's Cookie Dough was no longer available. Apparently they had to sell the line as part of their merger with Nestle. (ohmigod, it is so pathetic that I researched the loss of my favorite ice cream!) Anyway, Dreyer's Grand now has there own cookie dough variety, so they must have kept it for their own.

Like the boots Skyline. When I was in high school I'd go int o Whatever* ever week and stare at the thigh-high Doc Martens that my mother wouldn't let me buy. I had saved up the money and everything. And being thigh-high they weren't something I could easily sneak in and out of the house.

Speaking of Hammerquill and his chocolate, I attempted to make chocolate chip cookies yesterday, and found that Brian had ate the bag of chocolate chips. No cookies for him!

*Whatever was a store much like what Hot Topic is today, but it was pre-hot topic and not a chain.

[ibiddy_boo]

Thank you for the :hug: Curlita.....and one back atcha! :hug:

i have never heard of apricot curd. It sounds scary (in a cottage cheesy sort of way).

Sirius you are a very thorough person to research an ice cream flavour like that.

*bonus tidbit: When i was in grade 7 (that would be the year before dirt was invented), my pa brought me home the coolest pair of boots. They were called hip waders back then. They came several inches above the knees, were shiny black fake leather, soft as a bunny, and very groooovy! :D My mom wasn't happy, so i didn't get to wear them unless she wasn't around.

[ibiddy_boo]

i haven't eaten and am still not hungry, but we're going to bar-b-q now because it looks like yet another storm is on the way.

We're bar-b-ing corn on the cob. i've never tried to do that before. Should be interesting considering i'm the worst cook in the world. i'm also making ribs, aka cindy's black stuff on a bone.

i don't have a third fact, so will just say....y'all have fun. :)

[gwensmom]

I watched Real World today and just about cringed remembering how it was to be that age. Thank God I wasn't on TV back then!

Gwensdad liked his fathers day presents. (Whew)

I'm feeling very unmotivated so I am going to work on some projects in hopes that creative juices will flow.

[Larrissa]

im here. amazingly somehow i still have a legal hour. this is truly monumental.

and just a moment ago, i skipped out of "use this word in a sentence about yourself" because i couldnt think of how to use "monumental"

:rolleyes:

i hope you feel better cindy. i wont call and wake you up, i promise. maybe i will pm you my number so its fair. :P

[EraserQueen]

The belt on the vacum burned >.<

I can't breathe

I feel sick

[Larrissa]

people arent playing today.

im tempted to just answer my own chain game questions.

ive done it before.

[Dalmaney]

1. The high school kids I'm sharing my wing of the hotel with just got replaced with Grade 5-8 kids. Oi.

2. Maybe they'll go to bed earlier... but from what I remember of feild trips, I doubt it.

3. I only have kids on one side of me, but Pete will be sandwiched. Mwah ha ha ha.

[tanagee]

Megans asleep, I am clean & shiny again, and the daddies are at the hotel.

No beach again Click here for web cam pix (http://watchthewater.co.la.ca.us/beach.cfm?bid=19) (this will only make sense this afternoon ;) but it is a cool website anyway.)

Nothing much more to report.

[Dalmaney]

1. I am scared it's going to keep raining all summer and all the events I have planned for my students will suck.

2. I don't like my room any more as it is surrounded by middleschoolers.

3. It's not that I don't like middleschoolers. I just don't like them in large groups in my home. It may be a hotel, but it's where I live, and therefore my home.

[Dalmaney]

1. My unofficial plan to contract West Nile this summer is progressing well. I am covered in a smattering of skitter bites.

2. At least I remembered my anti-itch lotion to keep me sane.

3. I should call my dad at some point today. I just don't want to. We don't talk well.

[Larrissa]

i am ansty.

i am restless.

i refuse to admit im bored.

[Curlita]

I am hot and sweaty.

I am trying to talk myself into walking the dog outside, where it is even hotter than it is inside.

Then I will shower and go to Fred Meyer, where they have air-conditioning, as my special treat to myself.

[Curlita]

I LOVE chocolate and hazelnuts, and I am NOT on any diet to speak of, so I will look forward to a shipment of whatever hammerquill is making in lieu of payment for my calling him a Renaissance Man.

I'm not sure about apricot curd, though. I think anything with apricot curd in it probably tastes even better without it.

Although my perceptions might be skewed by the fact that, when I first read that sentence, I saw apricot turd. I'm having a hard time getting over that.

[Obsidian_Cat]

My father's dial-up is incredibly slow...

I bugged out of the Italian Festival because it's against my principles to do anything that puts more money in the pocket of the Catholic Church...

I should go paint, but I needed a Nervousness fix...

:unsure:

[Larrissa]

i should go do stuff. but im all sluggish.

its raining like all hell, has been for days! tornado warnings.

blah la la la, nothingness reigns.

[gwensmom]

:rofl: Curlita thinks I float around my house looking like the 40's starlet in my avatar.

She couldn't be more wrong about the floating.

But I do look like my avatar because it is me. Ten years ago on my wedding day.

[Cuilanië]

I also am not on any kind of diet. Those things are evil.

However, the chocolate stuff would probably not travel well over 9000km, and the apricot curd even less. And I'm sort of allergic to hazelnuts (:'( ).

So I'll just get myself some ice cream, topped with a fresh banana. mmhm.

[Larrissa]

i have a job.

:yay: :yay: :yay:

just not right now. it seems the bosslady is as easily distracted and nervous as i am. :unsure: this could be a good thing.

i will call tomorrow and find out when i start.

damn :lol:

[Cuilanië]

Congratulations, Larrissa!!! :yay:

I was told today that my middle brother also found a job and starts Monday.

Now if I could just do the same...

[Dalmaney]

1. I just read the season finale of Joan of Arcadia... I wish I had remembered to watch it.

2. I think I will retire to my room with an ice cream sandwich.

3. I hope there's good tv tonight.

[Curlita]

Hey, Sarah, don't mess with the fantasy!

You emanate serenity in your avatar.

I bet you could float, given the right mood and circumstances.

[gwensmom]

I guess I was floating the day that photo was taken.

I want ice cream but have to wait 2 1/2 more hours until the babysitter gets here to go out for some.

The way Meika just picks up and goes on road trips whenever she wants to makes me so jeaulous!

I am feeling overcome by monotony lately.

I'm wondering how I ever got this old. I don't feel like I should be over 40 yet.

[Skilyne]

I have been working on Nness art a good portion of the day.

Tommorow I've got work again...as usual...and I am wondering how the guys will react to my new hairstyle.

I am suspecting I'll get teased like mad...as usual. One of the most interesting comments I've ever gotten? "You look like a 12-year old boy with that short hair and those small tits of yours." Oh yes...clearly something EVERY girl wants to hear at 22!

[siafu]

i went to the pride parade in portland. i did not consider marching in it because i always fall out at the end. no fun.

there were two cats in the parade with their owners.

this kid that i went drinking with last night was there...totally transformed into a glamorous woman from looking like a frat boy. he was like, you don't recognize me...no, i didn't. but he looked real purdy. :lol:

[Curlita]

Fred Meyer's only redeeming quality on a Sunday afternoon is that it has air conditioning.

I'm wondering if any of my Portland friends were at the Portland pride parade with Theresa.

I wanted to get Finding Nemo as a father's day present for my husband, but they did not have it in stock at Fred Meyer. :(

[zanna]

:ph34r: i'm back !!!

and i'm burnt burnt burnt. i think i've already shed 3 layers of skin.

i missed you guys! :)

[Dalmaney]

1. I'm bored and no one is home that I tried to call.

2. I wish there wasn't so long until the kids arrive. I am going to be very bored and there isn't another week of work.

3. Pete has arrived. I *hope* we (read I) manage to get along.

[Obsidian_Cat]

The sooner I go to bed, the sooner I'll have to go to work.

That is not necessarily a good thing.

I could call in sick... but I wont.

[ibiddy_boo]

Congrats Larrissa!!!!

Welcome back zanna! Ouch....sunburn!

Skilyne you crack me up! :D

[ibiddy_boo]

My supper did not turn out tonight just as i predicted. i'm not upset because i'm used to that sort of thing happening.

i made some marble magnets for the first time. They're kind of funky actually. :)

i think it's time for some herbal tea.

[bluecrayon]

I'm home.

It was wonderful.

I miss him, but I missed all of you, too.

[Skilyne]

Welcome back Bluecrayon!!! Missed seeing you on the boards...

Glad to hear you had a nice time ;)

Welcome back Zanna!!! Put some aloe on that sunburn...

[siafu]

i was just reaching my limit of missing bluecrayon in these forums.

now she's back.

it's good. i'm glad.

[Sirius]

Just got back from the hospital...it wasn't me this time! Brian had an undertermined-cause allergic reaction. First his lips swelled so much I could hardly understand him. Then he said his throat itched. Finally when he said "chest feels kinda tight" I made him go....

Of course by the time the doctor actually sees him he just has s slightly swollen limp.

Oh, and we left as all of our parents* were coming in for Father's Day dinner..."Sorry, maybe we can do it another time, here's your present, bye!"



*Five parents in total for those wondering about that statement.

**My TRF have had astricked explainations quite regularly as of late.

[Sirius]

My complete book of United States Hitory does not mention the War of 1812.

I became concerned that I had lost my mind and perhaps the war of 1812 did not involve the United States, even though I knew it was the U.S. declaring war on Brittian. I hate it when my confidence in printed text is stronger than my confidence in my own memory.

the complete book of United States Hitory turns out to be not so complete.

[hammerquill]

Apricot curd is like lemon curd (you know, the stuff on lemon bars?) but unfortunately not as intense, so it didn't really stand up to the serious chocolate.

And no, it wouldn't travel at all well, not even to Seattle, let alone Paris.

But still, it was good.

[Lilac]

You know, I love my son to death, but there are days when I'd just really love to ship him off to military school.

Today was one of those days.

He's lucky to be alive right now! :lol:

[Sirius]

Is Phoenix closer than Seattle? Maybe it could travel there.

So, I probably wouldn't actually eat something called curd no matter how good it has sounded.

I think of Little Miss Muffett when I hear the word curd.... :wacko:

[hammerquill]

I can understand omitting the War of 1812. I mean, it isn't as if it had any world relevance, like being part of the Napoleonic Wars or anything. It isn't as if it was the only thing that brought about a real and final peace with Britain after the Revolution or anything. It isn't as if it was fought on US soil or anything. It isn't as if Washington, DC was burned by enemy troops or anything... :rolleyes: </extreme sarcasm>

I'm glad to see cb back here!

I'm happy for Larrissa and her new job, too.

[Lilac]

I've been gone a couple days and have been out of the loop. Larrissa got a new job! Yeay!!!! Where is she going to be working?

I'm happy to hear that, too!

I don't know if I'd be brave enought to try any food with the word "curd" in it.

[hammerquill]

"Curds and Whey" = "Cottage Cheese".

A curd is one of the lumps in cottage cheese.

The word "Quark" is German for "curd" - the little tiny lumps of matter, you know.

[siafu]

oh man. i love cheese curd. i love how it squeaks when you bite it. i love lemon curd. i like cottage cheese curd. i am a curd fan, i guess.

heidi and i took a nap. i'm not waking her until tomorrow. she must be tired if she hasn't woken herself up.

curd looks like curl to me, not turd.

[bluecrayon]

another avatar with a beautiful Lilac -- I hate her! :D

I knew the definition of quark... but liked hammerquill putting that out there.

I am tired to my bone and happy all over the place -- a disjointed china doll with a crack across my cheek.

[hammerquill]

We cleaned the espresso machine for the first time in quite a while today.

I really like spending time with my parents.

We're going to be getting a bunch of new toys - er, ahem, tools that is - for the computer, primarily for the studio. Adobe CS suite... I'm looking forward to using a newer Photoshop, a non-paleolithic version of Illustrator, and a proper layout program (InDesign). :D

[Cuilanië]

I'm glad bluecrayon made it safely back! :)

It's been summer for over six hours, but one couldn't guess by the weather. It's cold and wet still, and kinda cloudy.

I'm cold. Bed covers look tempting... ^_^

[Larrissa]

gooooood morning.

superfantastic supreme and beautiful day

as i am, yes, employed.

thank you.

:D

[Larrissa]

so i am assrude to anyone approching me online i dont know. so i get a AIM message from some one with "girl" in the name. they say, "are you there?" and my oh so kind response, "apparently. who the f*ck are you?" then they say something about being from nness and they have to go. didnt even wait for me to say something back.

i can be mean.

i keep forgetting things i have to tell people. maybe i shall start a notebook "things to say once you sign on!"

:rolleyes:

i should go say this before i forget.

[Helquin]

I'm glad Cuilanië reminded me it's Summer Solstice.

Now I must plan something Litha-delic.

I experienced insane beauty yesterday while out photographing bright-colored things in the sunshine.

Congratulations, Larissa!
:yay: :wave: :yay: :wave: :yay: :thewave: :yay: :wave: :yay: :wave: :yay:

[Larrissa]

no, thank YOU helquin. :D :D

and so i finally get "my assistant" to open, and i check in on the top ten posters of all time.

say hello to number ten. oh yes.

Suuuuuuuuuure. Convenient. :)

I'm up early and ready to try a walk with the mutt. It's a longer walk than I've tried in a while, so I'm hoping that I can get myself and the little passenger there and back without exhausting myself.

My back hurts. <_<

[zanna]

i'm eating marshmellows.

and have been debating over one of the hardest decisions i've ever had to make since presented to me yesterday evening.

congrats larrissa. now it's time for you to get off your lazy ass! :P ;)

[siafu]

i was hounded until i got out of bed this morning. i thought that sucked.

but i tried to be nice and hang out, since that was the point of the hounding

and now that i've looked at eraser clay on ebay, i can go back to bed.

[gwensmom]

Had a mental health meltdown this morning.

It's ok now but I freaked out the dog!

I have two movies to watch this afternoon.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 the real estate agent is coming again tomorrow evening

2 i'm really hungry

3 my wet hair has made the back of my shirt wet

[thunderstorm_19]

1 after my last post i went to water my carrot patch, and ended up watering my shoe and pant leg as well

2 mmm....foood... everything bagel (w/ honey and cream cheese) and grapefruit juice

3 my photos are due 'back' (due to be ready for pickup) by 5 today

[Larrissa]

grapefruit juice, yuuuuummy.

i should be saving my online time until misterhim gets up out of bed. damn him.

you will never know.

And I'm assuming that the hounding was done by the same person who was slumbering last night while you were still here awake? Hmmm.

I had a good walk! I'm finally getting back into shape and it didn't feel like the Bataan death march.

It's hotter in my house than it is outside.

evidently, the two things were in direct relation to one another.

it wouldn't have been so bad if the credit card company hadn't called and let the phone ring something like sixteen times. they suck.

i guess i'm starting my day now.

Whew! What a relief! I had gone all this time thinking I was the worst cook in the world!

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/v56/astabeth/sleeping-smiley-015.gif I like this little guy too. I think it's the *smack, smack* after he yawns that is so endearing.

I guess you can see I'm about a day behind on 3RF.

Its good to have cb and zanna back. I just wanted to be part ;)

its 3:00, I have to get to the post office and the bank

[kamoke]

dammit, it's raining out! And since I have no car(and not up for long rain walks) i will now stay in the confines of my appartment.

someone thought I took photos of a gallery and tried to pass the art off as my own. I thanked them

just got a cheque in the mail. nice

[Purple]

-Has returned to the forums again after having all of yesterday off to do very very little...hmmm what did I do yesterday???

-I have been a member of the forums for just over 6 days now. (I feel good, have made friends and post out a bunch of letters I owe folks from forums over the past 6 days tomorrow...or maybe wednesday...hmmm).

- :( I dont feel so happy right now because the football begins in about half an hour and its all rubbish. And everyone round me love's it and I think its naff and most are footie hooligans and the english side suck and if you say that your classed as non-patriotic and called a weirdo and get beat-up on. Gr! its all such a vicious circle....
and having england on your shirt doesn't mean your talking football....(Im thinking this should become my new rant)

[zanna]

i'm feeling glum.

i don't think i've ever used the word 'glum' before.

look at it. it is a very funny looking word.

glum.

funny.

[kamoke]

I am going out! with my cameras and I will enjoy the rain for all it has to offer

no more facts

except my ipod is charged, which means my ears will get a taste of heaven [!]

[Larrissa]

i think hes sleeping all day again.

cold today, rain today.

i should go out too.

[EraserQueen]

I am sending out a motherload of stuff today!

I need to eat lunch >.<

I am going to force someone to take me to a movie

[sarahkate]

~ I'm glad zanna is back but I'm sorry that she is glum. Glum is a silly word but I like it :) *shoots rubber bands at zanna and Larrissa*

~ I had carrots & dip and two of my homemade oatmeal raisin cookies for lunch. Mmmm.

~ My mom is going to be moving to an apartment that is about 3 minutes (driving time) from my house! Right now she lives about 30 minutes away so it will be strange having her so close. At least now she won't have to drive so far to work and she won't have to put up with her pesky landlord who lets himself into her apartment when she isn't there!

[Larrissa]

i dont need any rubber bands! chaosisorder just sent me a bunch.

she just threatened to send me a photocopy of her butt :o

my mom doesnt understand IM NOT LISTENING RIGHT NOW

*NOT chaosisorder, you pervert

[siafu]

sarahkate, your creatures turned out cute!

i ran a piece of tea stained paper through the printer.

it was dry, but the writing came out crooked. not too crooked, though. these are dumb last two facts.

[gwensmom]

You could go ahead and get the butt photocopy and then post it.

Or make lots of copies and send them out to be altered.

I liked Sarahkate's freaky geekies too!

[sarahkate]

~ Thanks theresa & sarah! :blush: Those are the first things I have ever really sewn without my mom's help. I think I really like sewing now. I hope my creatures don't fall apart since they are partially sewn with a machine and partially hand sewn. I made dorky little stories in the books I attached to each one. One creature's name is Spazz and the other is Noodle.

~ I worked in a copy center for almost a year but I don't think I was ever tempted to photocopy my bum. :P

~ I'm slowly but surely catching up on my LMAOs. It would be wonderful if I could get them all done this week but that's probably stretching it.

[Larrissa]

must make offensive art tonight.

must make monkey logo.

must take a walk and chill in the park.

[Larrissa]

must call TCBY now.

must prepare to talk to namelessgirl on the phone.

must remember to breath, and eat.

[zanna]

ouch!

*flings elephant poo-poo all around the room, splattering the walls, because that's the kind of mood i'm in.*

i want to go see that new dodgeball movie.

[indigo]

Do not, I repeat, do NOT photocopy your butt! The glass could break (no matter how big or small you are!) sending millions of tiny shards of glass into your butt!!! (It's true, I saw it on a little informative advertisement.)

I am almost all caught up on my LMAO's (for pending members of course).

I am looking forward to Thursday because I think I get to go to nymphette's house to do crafts!!!

[Dalmaney]

1. I have quit working, despite the fact that it's 2 pm.

2. I am getting along with Pete better than expected.

3. I should run today, but I don't want to. I want to sleep.

millions of tiny shards of glass into your butt!!!
Oh, now this sounds like fun.


My TV repair person has not shown up yet. They were supposed to be here between 1 and 4:30. They will probably just say that the tv is ruined but at least I will know and can start looking for another one (and the $$ to pay for it).

[Obsidian_Cat]

I think elephant poo probably has some health benefits, at least for the elephant, but I don't think it's generally used for home decorating.

I'm trying really hard not to think about glass shards in my butt....

I have lots of work to do and need to stop goofing off here!

[zanna]

http://danenet.wicip.org/bcp/Elephant_poo.jpg

that's me there, collecting the poo i just threw.

you better watch out ..i've collected plenty of other cool things too!

and no no, anger managment is for the weak. i just push though mine ..

[Dalmaney]

1. I think it is nap time.

2. I am going out for supper, as I am lazy and I can.

3. I think I may skip the run today. See above reasoning.

[Cuilanië]

Got a headache. My fault. I forgot to have coffee this morning.

Consequence? I can't concentrate on serious reading. And Since I'm having the damn coffee now, I probably won't sleep well.

I want tomorrow to be a busy day.

[gwensmom]

I am going to have to log off as it is beginning to thunder.

I am sending mail to France, California, Florida and Canada today.

Will be sending to New York tomorrow.

(What on earth did I do before nervouseness????)

[tanagee]

My brother-in-law who is in his mid to late 40's had a heart attack yesterday and has to have a QUADRUPLE by-pass tomorrow.

That shows you what a life of drinking, smoking and red meat will get ya!

Although, I fully intend to live by Indigo's signature, it is still a scary thing.

[tanagee]

I am having another bad day and this: Sorry, the server is too busy to handle your request, please try again in a moment is NOT helping any.

I have a sinus headache, my eyeballs feel 'tight' and I am seeing 'floaters'...my mom, who works for my optometrist, says to not worry. I didn't tell her about the headache part, just the 'floaters'.

I went to the park this morning for Megans play group and NO ONE came!

I got into a fight on the phone w/ my hubby and after we hung up I screamed "F*CK YOU" repeatedly at my cellphone and threw it across the car.

[Curlita]

I have been having server errors too. I think it's safe to assume that it's not us.

Tana, I hope your b-i-l is okay! My dad had a quadruple bypass a year ago, and it was scary, even though it's sort of become a "routine" surgery.

The zoo here in Seattle sells composted elephant (and other) poo as zoo doo. They also make them into little animal-cookie type things that you can put in your plant as fertilizer. I have one.

[Curlita]

I have a sudden, overwhelming urge for COOKIE DOUGH. Argh!

Must find something else gooey and sweet to eat, because if I go out to get cookie dough, I will eat the whole tube by myself.

Dmn, I wish we had chocolate chips.

[Curlita]

I think I just had a religious experience.

I went downstairs and started packing up books. Behind a row of books I found half a bag of chocolate chips and half a bag of carob chips, most likely hidden from me by my husband.

From now on, please address me as Saint Curlita, Our Lady of the Chocolate Chips.

[Skilyne]

Hello to Saint Curlita, Our Lady of the Chocolate Chips! :P

I am not sure I feel much like posting right now, but interestingly enough, here I am anyways.

Work was interesting and the reactions to the "new me" were interesting as well.

[Cuilanië]

Wonder if Our Lady of the Chocolate Chips might help me find some here, I'm running out of sweet stuff to eat... :rolleyes: ;)

I just ate the last of the honey-nougat ice cream. How could I have ever considered it too sweet??? :blink: :wacko:

I wish I had fresh bread. Then I could make toast and drench them in honey or maple syrup... ^_^ :)

[Cuilanië]

That last batch of facts does not, repeat NOT, constitute a major sweet-tooth attack. It's plain and simple craving. :P :lol:

Probably induced by not eating properly today. I was uninspired by the veggies in the fridge today (by the time required to prepare them, actually).

Remember how I was taking bets on how much I got accomplished the other day? Some of you ought to have bet on 'nothing'. But no one offered any bets, so no one gets anything from me. So there. :P

[Cuilanië]

**hugs** to Tana on fight with hubby. Those are not good experiences. :(

Monkeys fling poo. zanna flings poo. Is zanna a monkey?

I really mean for tomorrow to be a busy day. So I really mean to go to bed at a reasonable hour. Honest. Really.

Wonder if anyone believes me anymore when I say I'll go to bed at normal hours... I should just start posting that kind of thing under 3RFictions.

[tanagee]

Well, since we have now reached a level of poverty I never thought we would it appears that I am going to have to get a job. :( :'(

I am too proud and the wrong ethnicity to recieve public assistance here in L.A. (rant) :angry:

I am going to apply for a job @ the new Albertsons they are finishing and the other grocery chains that are 24 hr or have late hours so I can work nights so I can stay home with my sweet baby in the day time and HE can deal with the evil cranky baby at night.

My only fear is that he will be his usually flakey self and make me late to work since he is notoriuosly late.

[Cuilanië]

Aww, Tana. **more hugs**

I'm tempted to go for 5000 posts before going to bed.

That's unreasonable.

But with chain games, that kind of thing sneaks up on you almost unnoticed... ;)

[gwensmom]

Monkeys fling poo. zanna flings poo. Is zanna a monkey?
I don't think she is. Monkeys fling their own poo, but zanna is flinging elephant poo. Hmmm.......


The TV guy is here! He hasn't pronounced the TV dead yet but he has had to make some phone calls. :unsure:

I had a major bonanza in my mailbox with 2 RAOK's, one traveling LMAO and a package from my sister. Woooo hoo! That is almost as good as finding chocolate chips.

It rained hard today and I was going to go stand out in it and get soaked to the skin. But by the time I found my flip flops it had almost stopped. So much for spontaneity.

[siafu]

i'm sorry, tana. hang in there.

my friend liz invited me to san diego in august.

i drew labyrinths and took a bath today. pretty low achieving.

Yeah, but... she could be a special breed of monkey, you never know...

Dussst, dussst everywhere. We're tired of it, yess we are....

My living space needs a thorough overhaul and cleaning. As usual.

[Lilac]

Just popping in to say "Hi" to everyone!

I'm taking my son to the drive-in to see Dodgeball and Shrek II in a bit....

My father has been out at my place whipping it (and me) into shape for 4 days now! Things are getting fixed, painted and organized!!!!

[Skilyne]

I saw Shrek II and really enjoyed it.

Comment from guys at work about my new hair cut and color: "You look like a dominatrix now."

I looked at myself in the mirror, but I'm not getting dominatrix. That's their fantasy...not mine. :P

[Curlita]

Maybe Zanna is an elephant.

I just got back from San Diego. The beaches were nice. We saw sea lions.

Painters have been working on the outside of our house all day. My dog is frustrated that I won't let him go outside and chase them away.

[Larrissa]

i wont even explain it all public like. it would take too much effort.

but the 3RF Gods deserve this much.

[Larrissa]

oh, the laughter doesnt go easily though.

and i havent gone yet either.

but i am now.

[Skilyne]

Feel better Larrissa!!!

I am eating Double-stuff oreos...YUMMY!

Another comment from my favorite men..."You STILL look like a 12-year old boy."

[medeous]

i had a "You have a personal message on Nervousness" thing in my email.

right under that was "Complete website dedicated to mother/son incest!!"
from someone russell@something-i-don't-remember-but-dont-get-hung-up-on-it-because-this-isn't-the-pertinent-part.

i naturally thought it was from RUSTELL

[Dalmaney]

1. I just talked to the Boy. He sounded stressed out and tired.

2. He's in the middle of a camp for kids with aquired brain injuries, so I'm pretty sure he is stressed out and tired.

3. It's his favorite camp of the summer, despite it being the most work-intensive. I love that Boy.

[Skilyne]

I am already feeling quite tired and it is only 9:35pm.

Of course, it has only been a week since I ended up in the ER, and being sick wears a person out...so I suppose it is normal.

I got the bill from the ER today...just the co-pay I have due, but still...it is another bill to pay. <_<

[Larrissa]

well yes. my sister kicks major ass. i am better.

the Plan has been told

i am NOT calling anyone tonight.

[Larrissa]

i am wearing a silver sequined scarf thing, its fun and a bit itchy.

i am so easily amused.

the fact is i have no idea where i stand. and know i should know.

[Larrissa]

i am going to post in here again because damnit i have ten minutes left tonight and have to use them

i love to say "damnit", anyone who doesnt like it can take this: :wub: :P

i should change my clothes tomorrow, im such a dirty hippie.

[Larrissa]

ADD is a coping mechanism

kamoke has been reading in here for the last twenty minutes

i have three minutes and :wave: see you tomorrow. i earned extra time with chores.

[Larrissa]

she took my scarf

ass kicking is pending

so is sign off

[kamoke]

man I'm a slow reader

oh, and from a few pages back, my friends photocopied their butt. Tammy the wal mart door greeter wasn't too happy. i work at wal mart :'(

I can't wait for september 2005!

[zanna]

just got back from seeing the dodgeball movie with ben stiller.

eh, it was alright, i didn't go in expecting too much, so i wasn't dissapointed.

i'm about to go out to waffle house with a friend to help pass the time.


..perhaps i could be a hybrid monkey/elephant ..you never can tell these days.

[frizball]

I never want to go to bed.
I have to pack my bags for tomorrow, AND I HAVE YET TO START.
I wish this boy did not have a girlfriend! UG <_<

[kamoke]

mellow am I

i painted the walls some more. i have a headache now. I should be worried, but again, I am not

I want some alcohol up in my body... ugh

[kamoke]

I don't like strangers looking at my art while Im around, and can hear them, and see them

they took a piece i didn't like at all ( it really was bad)

I'd like to know more about the people on here, though I don't think thats possible. But.. you know what im trying to say.. ;)

[frizball]

I want to know more about people on here too.. i DO know what you mean.

I want my friend to have a good birthday even though everything is going bad.

Jealousy is poop- but it shows that you care. And while you can get mad at someone for being jealous, it is really a compliment(in a way)

[zanna]

went to waffle house.

passed time meaninglessly.

i ate some cheese grits.

[kamoke]

It's 3:39 am... where did the time go

I think Im in a bad mood and I just can't seem to get out of it. They say it helps to go to sleep when you're angry because the brain is less distracted by the world around you and you'r then able to think freely
;)

ugh, i have to clean all the shit off my bed before I can crawl in...........
Ill just get some food and hit the sack


goodnight all

[zanna]

g'night.

i think i'm off as well.

nothing good on tv to keep me up ..

[indifferentdeity]

my high school principal once asked me to dress like a female cheerleader

i'm a hopeless romantic

i can't raise my eyebrows independently of each other, but i'm training....

[gwensmom]

Zanna has made me want some cheese grits. Yummmmmmmmmm.

The TV story is about to get interesting. Sear's records say they sold us a 34" TV but we have found that the TV they brought out of the warehouse and we took home is a 27". How am I going to prove they messed up? Will they accuse me of swapping TV's? Stay tuned.............

My eyelids itch. I hate allergies!

Pensters mailbox is full so you can't pm her right now.

I need pooshouse's address so if you have it, pm me but don't tell her because I want to send her a surprise.

[Purple]

-Would very much like an old ST (atari)...oh to play games like magic pockets, Rampage, Gauntlet and Golden Axe again. Not to mention Dungeon Master and such. I was too young I tell you too young to full appreciate what I had, when I had it!

-Has quite a few consoles of her own...x2 PC's...PS1/PS2, Xbox (mwa! *drool*), Megadrive and a cheapy Atari ripoff 50 games in one.

-Doesn't like to brag about computer games too much since she was nearly almost quite close but denied employment by Game, (the fashists...*sp?*) who messed me about for 3 months before saying can you work in summer, I answered no and then they said well we think we might try employing someone whos local for summer...try again at x-mas. Gr!

[Astabeth]

I just had the worst dream I have ever had and it was so REAL!

I don't want to go back to sleep now.

I woke up crying - I never, NEVER used to cry at anything until I got pregnant. I thought it would go away after I had the baby, but nope. Still here.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 buttertart and coffee... yum yum

2 i finally actually bought the evanescence cd yesterday :wub: :wub: :wub:

3 i got up at 7:45...

Myabe I should learn to speak Canadian and move there!

[Obsidian_Cat]

I think moving to Canada is a really groovy idea, if only someone would give me a job there...

I'd consider becoming a hermit if I could take my car, my cats, and my friends along with me.

The world is giving me a headache today, I wish it would just go away for a bit... The world or the headache, either one!

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i'm drowning in a sea of envelopes!!

2 as long as i don't cut my tongue while licking envies or stamps i'll be okay...

3 why do i always seem to have either LOTS or NOTHING to mail... ('course, half this stuff is RAOKs...)

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i picked up my photos last night

2 most are fine, but boring, some are really nice

3 i laugh at the green and blue blur from where i clicked the shutter by accident (i'm just glad that at least the lens cap was off, so it isn't just blackness)

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i hate my printer

2 i don't think it likes me much either

3 i did however fix the problem it was giving me earlier

Oh, crap. *Sigh.*

The painters are here scraping the house. My pets are very alarmed by all the activity.

I let the dog out into the back yard and he found someone's lunch and ate part of it. :blush:

[Curlita]

I'm listening to the radio and the news is on.

They are talking about having dogs start sniffing out explosives on Washington State Ferries.

It's funny the way the phrase "explosive-sniffing dogs" can sound like they are talking about dogs that sniff, and also explode.

[Larrissa]

i have a job in canada, nah nah nah. well, he says 90% sure anyway. thats good enough for me. comes with a place to stay, i do believe i could even say i was "stoked"

i am scrubbing the mother f-ing kitchen for an equal amount of internet time.

i am just visiting for a few while the stepdad is out to breakfast.

"wanker" ???? your timing is the worst.

ummm, youre walking alot?

you freaking WANT me to call? because i can. i just cant guarentee quality or length. ask siafu, our first call lasted about 15 seconds.

[siafu]

but she was super cute for fifteen seconds. she made me smile.

now she's a lot more mellow, i think.....

as it regards hiibels v. nevada, i would still advise my clients to not disclose their names and pay whatever fines they get. it is likely they would be subjected to stop-and-frisk searches anyway. people should always only ever say, i want the assistance of an attorney, over and over. eventually, persons living in one of the states that doesn't allow privacy of a name, should take it up with the state legislature and demand this privacy.

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I'm horrible with timing, geez I only just now read a few pages back.

That aside my phone is not with me at the moment, although cryptaesia IS at the store... beside the store's phone! haha

You're right I do walk alot, how about that? You're aces!

[Larrissa]

excellent.

i go now.

no calls for any of you!

[WonkyWalkingShoe]

I just thought of a new use for those boots.

I go now too!

Today is overcast.

-Im playing neopets right now, and Im not too happy that I can't get anything from the shop restocking gr *curses*

i used to play neopets religiously when i was younger. i still have numerous accounts and every once in awhile i'll check in. takes me back about 4-5 years ago though ..ahh.

i slept in til noon. :D

[Curlita]

I had a southern roommate who fixed us all grits one morning. I tasted mine and said, "Mmmm, these would be great with butter and brown sugar!" She got very exasperated and said, "No, you're supposed to eat them with cheese and ketchup!" Who knew?

The baby is demanding large amounts of cookie dough IMMEDIATELY.

I just found out that a meeting I thought was today is actually NEXT Tuesday. Whoo hoo!

[zanna]

cheese and ketchup? bleh. :ill:

hmm ..i normally eat my grits with butter, salt, and sometimes i use cheese as well, but that's all i ever eat with them.

oh, i do have a weird quirk in the fact that i love to eat my french fries with mayonnaise instead of ketchup. it's a bad habit, but i love it. :)

[Obsidian_Cat]

It's funny the way the phrase "explosive-sniffing dogs" can sound like they are talking about dogs that sniff, and also explode.
I don't recommend being anywhere near exploding dogs. I find that they are more common around picnics where hotdogs are present than at airports though.
i have a job in canada, nah nah nah.
Oh, so Canada's still accepting our hippies? :lol:
There's only one job for silly americans...... and it's not for you.
I don't know you, are you silly?
I have been referred to as silly, but more often as eccentric. I do have several pairs of boots though - does that qualify me for anything?
oh, i do have a weird quirk in the fact that i love to eat my french fries with mayonnaise instead of ketchup. it's a bad habit, but i love it.
Now I'm in the mood for fries with malt vinegar.

I'm sure there are at least 3 random facts somewhere in this post. Oh well, I always did suck at following the rules...

[Cuilanië]

I found something I shouldn't be reading.

I decided to read it anyway.

I don't even feel very bad about it.

[Dalmaney]

1. My boss screwed up and now our "internet" lab downstairs will not have internet for at least 10 days. Not cool.

2. I hate when people think they are far more computer literate than they are.

3. It's raining. Again. It doesn't seem to ever stop.

[Cuilanië]

I don't feel bad at all. But I'm a bit angry.

I understand things better now.

And I'm glad.

[Larrissa]

flabbergasted.

annoyed.

its like having a fat joint to smoke but no way to light it when the site keeps giving me that busy shit.

:yell:

[Larrissa]

ive worn this shirt for three days now and the button keeps coming undone. scandelous i swear.

why didnt i write the place i got this work permit info from? i have to go on a rampage on all these canadian asshole sites again to find it.

i hope im lucky, in more ways than one.

*a couple L's went AWOL and i had to force them back where they belonged.

[Larrissa]

secretw indow is on the tv, placed there by my sister. OH MY its horrid. just horrid.

Garsh darn the baby, now I hve to go eat some of my cookie dough ice cream. Can't you come up with code names for foods so that I don't eventually have to be rolled out of my chair?



I can't believe I am sick again. Went to the doctor, this time I have just been handed a "common cold" from some one -- was it one of you?

I think I have been sick more in the past two months than in the past two years.

[gwensmom]

One of my ballet teacher's horses was killed by lightening yesterday. Class is cancelled for two weeks.

This site (http://www.fluff.tv/index.html) has some great sock monkeys and other sock creatures.

My nice friend offered to lend me her extra TV until I can either get mine fixed or get a new one.

[Larrissa]

my sister bought me starbucks

hyper

hesitant

[siafu]

oh gosh. i got so scared. i read that and i thought the teacher had been struck by lightning.

so i read again. then, i felt bad for the horsie and the teacher.

then i looked at crazy sock monkeys. is it ok if i just buy one for heidi and wear the socks i bought? i dont feel good about cutting them.

[tanagee]

replying to the past 4 pages:

If I have $$ (or a car that will make it) when theresa comes to SD I will either get on the train or drive down and see her!

I LOVE mayo with my fries...I love mayo period!

I cried for days after Megan was born and almost got in my car, drove until I ran out of gas and started a new life. I would have too except for the fact I KNEW people would think really badly of me for leaving. (I had REALLY bad post partum on top of having to detox from all the drugs.)

[Dalmaney]

I just took a bunch of rumandmonkey tests and stuck the links in my blog.

I am saddened by my apparant lack of valuing each moment I'm alive.

I think I'll watch some TV and try not to think about it much.

[Curlita]

I went and bought some cookie dough and ate more of it than I care to admit. Now I have a cookie dough hangover.

I've had two major depressions in my life, both as a result of going on the pill. I'm on the lookout for post-partum depression, as is my doc.

How close to SD are you, Tana? WIsh I'd thought of that before we went down!

Thinking SD is probably SanDiego, wondering when Siafu would be there, too tired to look for the post...

or, maybe it is South Dakota

From Here to San Diego:
Total Est. Time: 5 hours, 29 minutes Total Est. Distance: 352.54 miles

I could do that as long as it isn't in the middle of my student teaching....

[siafu]

wow. that would be the best!

when are you student teaching?

i'm going in august sometime.

[Cuilanië]

I read more of the forbidden stuff.

It sheds more light on so many things I was aware of, but didn't fully recognise, acknowledge, and admit...

I can now name with great confidence (in the statistical meaning of that word) the biggest mistake of my life. Not that I blame myself for it anymore, but it remains the biggest goddamn (and other assorted swearwords) mistake of my life.

I'm still glad I read it. It was in a lot of ways necessary, and not morbid curiosity.

I'm glad that episode of my life is over, too.

[Cuilanië]

I also originally read the lightning post as the teacher being struck by lightning.

My butt hurts from sitting on this godawful wooden chair. Again.

I see my chiro tomorrow. Which reminds me, I need to renew that prescription.

I am in a foul mood because he pissed me off today.

I shouldn't let him get to me like that.

Ok-I'll try and be nice.

I hat ewhen people write me on icq and msn and I am forced to ignore them due to their lack of everything.
I mean, I really just don't care.


i got more pictures back from the pentax. I'm even more pissed! 1 photo came out!

work woke me up at 9:30 this morning (after four calls!). And since I went to bed at 4:00. Yes, I am tired. Though work was fun. Ill take a picture of my work shirt

i'm hot (http://img58.photobucket.com/albums/v178/brownley/DSCF0025.jpg)

[Dalmaney]

1. I went for my run tonight. I am up to 9 minutes of running interspersed into 21 of walking.

2. I am almost finished another old-school letter to the Boy. I figure that quite possibly the only upside of a summer apart is love letters, so I will take full advantage and write my little heart out.

3. I wish I had a car that had five seatbelts instead of four. It would solve at least one of life's problems.

[Larrissa]

i so hope that wasnt regarding me, because i havent been given a chance.

:P

im full of beef. ick.

[Lilac]

My Mother's neighbor passed away and I went to her funeral today. It was just so ...odd. I mean, odd in the sense that she's gone. She's been an "old woman" ever since I can remember...and it just seemed that she was a permanent fixture of my Mom's neighborhood. And odd in the sense that about 80 percent of the people attending the funeral had the same long nose as her. I couldnt stop looking at everyone's noses and had a strange sort of "inner pride" in the fact that I could pick out her relatives because of the nose.

I had to leave a full cart of groceries in the middle of the aisle and walk out of the store (again) due to my son's bad behavoir.

I'm really thinking about taking him to a therapist because he can be so awful at times. Not bad, really...just mouthy and argumentative to the point that I want to slap him alongside the head.

[Skilyne]

I am sending wishes to Lilac in dealing with her son. I'm sure I'd feel the same way, but Lilac sounds like she is a good mother, and she'll be able to deal with this!

I'm also sorry about Lilac's Mom's neighbor. (I suspect I would also take a strange pride off of being able to pick out relatives because of their noses.)

I am not in as much of a foul mood as I was before.

[kamoke]

Unbelievable hearing that from a guy!

You've gained my utmost respect with that one comment.

Why don't other guys feel that way?

[Skilyne]

You've gained my utmost respect with that one comment. Mine too. What a nice thing to hear...especially after working all day with men who don't seem to feel that way! ;)

I should not be online...I should be in bed. I know I'm going to have a lovely time of it at work tommorow at this rate.

I'm just not tired though. UGH.

[Lilac]

I'm actually on vacation this week and don't have to go to bed at all...except for the fact that my father shows up every morning at 7:30 or 8:00. I love him dearly, but since he retired, he's been driving me insane!

He grew up in this house and knows the barn, the land...heck, probably every pebble out here...and seems to think he has to fix/improve/paint/clean the whole place!!!!

I'm working more while on vacation than I do at my job! My father is a true taskmaster!

In response to all this talk about sex...and talk.... I like both--why is it negatory to do both at the same time? I can concentrate on those 2 things at the same time!!!... well maybe not ;) i shall settle for the separates

I am going to Loyola tomorrow to talk to the chair of the commuications dept. I am excited they wanted me, and I am excited I will be going there from now on! Moving back home to New Orleans :lol:

I think I am going to be very sad and empty with no way to get online while I am at the beach FOR A WEEK eeeeekkk!!!!

[Sirius]

I am going to sleep now, but am posting specifically to wave :wave: at ms. nelson.

i also have stared at the names marquand and kazanjian too much tonight.

i lost a scrabble game tonight, but had the ability to blame it on my being sick. that makes me a bad loser.

[kamoke]

It's funny how I had so much fun with people I don't even really know

Work will be fun tomorrow. i will make it fun

my wallet is made of duct tape. and orange electrical tape.

[bluecrayon]

sex when there is love all around it is just about the best thing there is...

that's what I want!

and with that lovely love all around it, everything else just tumbles like golden threads from all the pockets of my life...

[frizball]

Random people always tell me they like my hair and want to touch it.

Two ladies at a gas station today came up to me and asked me about it and then touched it--

It makes me laugh. :lol:

[kamoke]

im bald :D

one lady said "nice haircut" and i said "I missed a spot" and she said " I noticed, I'm a hairdresser."

bald men make fun of other bald men, it's like an inside joke, that only we find funny, in a different way.

OH YEAH FOUR! I'm glad I got this balding thing over with while I'm young and beautiful. That way, when I'm old I'll be use to it, and I will be confident and outgoing ;)
:rolleyes:

[bluecrayon]

I have hair with a mind of it's own.

I've been told it looks like the hair of that guy in Twisted Sister... :ph34r:


I used to pin soup cans into it in the hopes of straightening it out...

[frizball]

lol <my dad has a ponytail and a receding hairline... it's quite funny

It's not a very "popular look" I guess you would say--people think he's some crazy hippie or a biker.

I will die when he is all bald except for the ponytail. :ph34r: HAHAHAHA

[ibiddy_boo]

kamoke you remind me of my youngest son.

i wish i had time to play catch-up and read all the posts i've missed, but i only made it two pages back....it's after 2 am here and my eyes aren't focusing. Not enough sleep lately.

It's been storming most of the day, which worked out pretty good actually. i got this desk cleaned off. Well, it was clean earlier. And i painted.

[Lilac]

I'm dragging myself off to bed.

Goodnight all you night owls.

Sweet dreams!

[frizball]

Goodnight lilac! Dont eat any catfood on the way to bed--it does not taste like bacon i promise.

I like to walk around in a sportsbra and my little boyshort panties. they are v. comfortable and provide enough coverage so that I do not offend any family members...or neighbors

I think flying bugs are disgusting. Esp. mosquitos--gag

[siafu]

hey frizball, describe your hair, please.

my feet are so swelly. not smelly, swelly.

i got new and not weird neighbors. whee!

[Cuilanië]

Yesterday evening was intense in a quiet way.

We talked on the phone until I slept. I slept all the better for it. :)

It was noon by the time I was awake enough to roll over and look at the clock.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i showed my dad the photos i got developed recently - he was quite impressed with the 'good shots' (some were crap and i knew that), so now i want to go to Ikea and buy cheap unfinished frames to put some of these in.

2 i do also have some square glass/clip frames which would work for certain shots that need trimming to look 'just right' anyway

3 i woke up horribly. i was having a yuckyass dream, and i knew i was dreaming, but couldn't wake myself up, and then i was awake-ish but still dreaming, and unable to move... :(

[cryptaesia]

i rammed 6 gauge spikes into my regular sized ear peircings the other day

damn do my ears hurt

it hurts when i cough

[zanna]

i'm eating golden grahams.

today i get to go pick up my car which i haven't had for over a week because it was getting fixed from the wreck i was in.

i'm going to take a snazzy picture of it and share it with ya'll when i get back!

[Larrissa]

goooood morning again.

i would like to have a superfast connection and delete the public record i have created of myself in these forums.

i slept like a rock last night.

[Larrissa]

i refuse to do to myself what i did to myself yesterday. i do decree.

it sucks when you think youre alone, and then you turn around and assboy is laying behind you on the couch, three feet away. damn him.

when i cleaned out the cupboards yesterday, i found a packet of salad dressing mix that expired ... so long ago ... it was amazing .... february fourth, 1984.

i tell no lies, though sometimes i wish i could.

*edit to include space. i like space. thats where it all happens, in space.

[sarahkate]

~ I might be working four - ten hour days rather than five - 8 hours days every week so I will have Fridays off. Three day weekends every week! Woop Woop! This is all pending on the manager's approval though.

~ Chunkymonkey disappeared again! Just when I thought she was back for good. I hope she is ok! :(

~ I think I might dye my hair tonight. I haven't dyed it in a long time (except for when I attempted to dye it red last summer/fall but it faded quickly) so I'm kind of nervous that the results will be horrible.

[nymphette]

1: hello everyone.... :wave:

2: i've never had grits, of any kind.....

3: i wonder what's happening with gwensmom's tv!!!

[zanna]

go check out these flash animations ..i linked them from this thread right here (http://forums.nervousness.org/index.php?showtopic=10316).

they are absolutely funny stuff.

tell me which ones your favorite.

[sarahkate]

Hiya Robyn! :)

~ For the past few days I have been getting error messages on N'ness almost every time I click "View New Posts" or try to click on a thread. Is this happening to everyone else too? It's frustrating. <_<

~ I really need to call the financial aid office at my school now that I have been accepted. I have been putting it off because it's so quiet in my office and I really don't want all of my coworkers listening to every word I say.

~ I wish more people would post in the Pictures thread, or Larrissa's "Today" thread. I like seeing all of you and getting to peek into your worlds a little bit.

[ibiddy_boo]

i've been reading back, and back and back to catch up on all i've missed and have come to a conclusion....
Trying to read and absorb too many facts from too many people is too confusing. :blink: At least it is this morning....i've only had one cup of coffee.

Did i just say this morning?? It's 1:40 in the afternoon. Where has the day gone???

grits with cheese and ketchup.....horrors!!! :o

[ibiddy_boo]

Yep, been happening to me too Sarah dear.

It's raining again and the sky is turning quite dark....i'm going to go out on a limb here and predict an incoming storm.

It stormed most of yesterday day and night.


***and speaking of that error page <_<

[ibiddy_boo]

i see Robyn, and am wondering how she's doing. How are you feeling Robyn?

The humming birds are especially active at the moment.

i saw a real, live snapping turtle today...in the ditch by the highway. Incredible! And he was a big boy....about the size of a toilet seat lid. That's the largest turtle i've ever seen. i was concerned for his safety, but someone stopped and moved him. Thank goodness, because i couldn't. i was dying from back pain and couldn't move. Yet i was driving. i'm not driving anymore until this is gone. Well, there was nothing to be concerned about with me in control of a vehicle...it's just trying to get in and out and bend, etc.

*i always feel the need to explain myself. It's a curse.

~ Well it's good to know it's not my computer that is the problem but it's still sucky that we all can't play on the forums like normal. Pesky error messages :(

~ I still haven't made the call to the financial aid office. I really should.

~ I keep thinking about someone I shouldn't be thinking about. Damn boys.

[Larrissa]

so i told james of the server being busy, and his response "yeah sometimes it does that" WTF? its all his fault. its that new server.

thats all i have to say about that.

maybe he doesnt realize the extent of it.

[gwensmom]

#&$%($ Server busy $*)!#$&%*

Gwen has started on a dirty diaper but won't finish it. I just love sitting around waiting for poop.

I might go see Supersize Me tonight.

[Larrissa]

damn right, damn the boys. he should fix our server.

so im recruiting the opinions of others

i havent got the response i thought i would so far ... :huh:

[indigo]

I have also been getting that error message and it is super frustrating because I can only come here (okay well I should only come here) on my breaks at work and half the time I can't even get in here!

I am so happy to be off tomorrow... and all of next week.... well except Friday. <_<

I want to send out random mail, but don't have anyone's address. :ph34r:

[Larrissa]

oooh you know what was here? i already forgot.

[sarahkate]

Originally posted by Larrissa@Jun 23 2004, 02:43 PM
the opinion has nothing to do with the server.

~ Tell me Larrissa, what is this opinion you are searching for. What's it all about?

~ Oh great! Now I'm going to have that Beastie Boys song in my head all day. Oy!

~ It feels strange and wrong not talking to someone who I used to be so close to. We don't talk anymore because...well...long story.. but he turned out to be a jerk so now we don't really talk but now I feel a void. Life seems to short to just not to talk to someone for so long. :(

[Curlita]

Having a bonfire/cookout on the beach tonight!

Husband just thought to tell me that he has a fasting blood draw tomorrow and won't be able to eat past 7:30.

Oh well, more smores for me!

[Larrissa]

whats whats whats it all about? check check check it out! i hate that song.

you cant know.

but now that ive said this much surely they know.

:rolleyes:

[sarahkate]

~ I must know or I will wither & die. You don't want my blood on your hands, do you???

~ I like some Beastie Boys stuff but yeah, that song is just.... ummm... repetitive and irritating.

~ I bought some bright green shorts last night. I wonder if they are too bright. :unsure:

[Larrissa]

sometimes when i cant avoid bad music thats playing, i twist it around so that i can jam out

i cleaned my room a little, it will be clean until i sit down to craft again.

damn me.

[Larrissa]

i love old beastie boys

i can tell you, but its gonnna take a huge bribe

and you would have to give me your opinion too

[Larrissa]

hahaha i edit away my useless babble!

[sarahkate]

~ Hmm.. a bribe. What can I offer Larrissa? Paper clips? I have lots of those. :P

~ I do have opinions and lots of them.

~ Still haven't called financial aid office. They are going to be closed soon. Why am i such a wimpy afraid of the phone and people hearing me freak?

[Larrissa]

i am probably wasting time

but what is time for??

oh yeah, earning money for adventures.

[sarahkate]

~ If you are having fun then you aren't wasting time :)

~ I did it. I called the financial aid office. All for nothing too! The lady asked for my SSN# - I gave it to her - and she said I should be getting an award letter in the mail today (or maybe tomorrow) so I guess there was no need to call at all.

~ Now I'm nervous about finding out how much, if any, aid I will receive. Well, I suppose even if I don't get any there are always student loans. *sigh*

[Cuilanië]

This is my 5000th post. :yay: I remember when the top posters were in the upper thousands and lower 2000's. Three cheers for chain games! :D

I had to really stop and think to remember whether I had coffee today. I did. Iced coffee. But it's distressing that I couldn't remember for a minute. :wacko:

I think now would be a good time to log off and go make dinner. I had a good breakfast, muesli with milk and a fresh banana (and the coffee), but lunch was a peach, some strawberries and ice cream... :rolleyes:

And in honour of my 5000th post: :thewave::thewave::thewave:

[JosieGellar]

Eve's post made me crave iced coffee.

I have about $15 in my checkbook until payday.

I have to see a dentist next week and I haven't been in ages (no dental insurance) and I have a cavity and know it's going to cost a bunch of $$$. :(

[Obsidian_Cat]

I'm tired.

I'm hungry.

I've got three more hours to go, and I've been here for nine already...

[Larrissa]

:blink: = :peace:

:unsure: = :rolleyes:

:wacko: = ^_^

[Skilyne]

Today at work, I must have been "splinter queen" or something, because the guys had me pull 5 metal chips from their hands! :lol:

Today at work was also some massive cleaning effort...which is interesting in a tool shop...and especially one in which the guys are so...(how to put it?)...insane! I was cleaning out a filing cabinet and found bullets in there. What's THAT about??? :unsure:

My boss bought a grill in...a nice big one...and so we grilled up hotdogs for lunch today. And we went through an entire bottle of ketchup between 15 of us!

[Larrissa]

i have ten minutes left. i always have to inform you of that.

i just love the band placebo.

lately i choose music by what i can sing to.

[indigo]

I am going to make a n'ness address book to keep track of all my n'ness friends.

I wonder how Julian is doing at the dentist. :unsure:

And furthermore... I wonder how his mama (nymphette) is doing with him at the dentist!!! :blink:

[Lilac]

My son wants to go play tennis because he found my old tennis raquets. He's never palyed tennis in his life and thinks it's going to be so easy...just hit the ball when it comes to you. He doesnt realize that you have to actually RUN to hit the ball.

I want to go take the horses for a ride up through the woods, but he's complaining that thats "boring."

I need to cook dinner and have nothing thawed. I guess that means we'll have sandwiches, as usual.

[tanagee]

I have bric-brac up the ying-yang.

Any one have any idea what a ying-yang's worth of bric-brac is worth on the open market?

I don't know if it would be worth the time and energy to sell it on e-bay, so I think I am going to offer it up in the trade/give away department.

[Curlita]

Lilac's son is lucky! I do not think it would be in the least boring to go horseback riding with Lilac!

I got to work on time today, but I haven't done anything overwhelmingly productive since I've been here.

The baby has been quiet today. He goes through busy and quiet spells, but the quiet spells always make me worry a little... maybe he also has a cookie dough hangover.

[siafu]

gawd. i wanted to go see a movie and chill, so i had the small bus drop me off. then, there is a single line at the bottom of a small sign that says, disregard any times before five on weekdays. what? why didn't it say that on the internet or on the phone message? you will compensate me for that miserable experience, mr. movie theater manager.

but, there was a small stationer's next to the movies. and the lady inside was so nice. she let me call the small bus and she gave me paper to draw on.

i didn't eat before i left because i was going to the movies. popcorn, candy, soda. nuffin, man. dinner is soon now.

yikes. leave those ears alone, cryptaesia!

i once got an allergic reaction to the stud my ex boyfriend had on his tongue... :ph34r:

[nymphette]

1: julian is my hero.... he didn't cry at all, when they gave him the needle to freeze!!! (though i admit, i put my hand over my mouth and got teary... :P he had two little cavities to be filled.... :( no more juice in bed at night!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2: i am the treat nazi with kids.... i am sure my neice and nephew hate being at my house and suffering my snacks.... and i know that julian wishes he lived with aunty jodi or nana!!!!

3: my mom keeps the sugary junk food 'snacks' in the bottome cupboard where all the kids can just help themselves..... <_< i do not wonder why my son NEVER eats at her place..... gggrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

[gwensmom]

Bucket o' Facts:

My mom was a treat nazi too. Once my cousin asked her if she had anything in the house to eat besides health food.

I'm going to a movie tonight and I wish I could pick up Siafu to go with me. I think my minivan can qualify as a small bus!

A friend is bringing her extra TV over here for me to borrow while mine is in the shop. YAY! I will be able to do my video workout every morning again.

Curlita your baby is fine, it's just enjoying an extended cookie dough euphoria.

I usually sleep on Thursday mornings while Gwen is in school but I have to run errands tomorrow. One is to the post office of course.

We are interviewing another potential new babysitter tomorrow. I hate hiring people. It's like buying a house or a car and you are so afraid you are going to choose the wrong one. :o

My mother told me to do something FOUR TIMES today. Does she not see that I am now over 40 and can function without her dogging my every move?

I am evil for talking bad about my mother. I don't know how I would get along without her.

[bluecrayon]

I would babysit for you in a heartbeat, Sarah, so you and your hubby could go out and eat ice cream and neck...

I would babysit for Robyn, too.

I want to go to the movies with Gwensmom and siafu, too. Just let me change my shirt and I'll meet you outside!

[gwensmom]

OK, I'll just run up and down the west coast and pick up anyone who wants to go

[siafu]

yayayayay! that would be the funnest movie. glad you're coming blue!

don't form a corporation.

don't go public.

[Curlita]

I want to go too! What are we seeing?

I can fit a six-pack of soda in my purse! I've done it in movies before.

I want to go home now.

[Lilac]

Well, we went riding for a little bit.

We're covered in mud flecks.

And we probably stink.

You're very welcome to come riding with me anytime! (I suggest having the baby beforehand, though! :D )

[Dalmaney]

1. I wanna talk on the phone.
2. I should go back downstairs and call people.
3. I am already getting stressed by this job.

[siafu]

hang in there, Dalmaney!

:wub: Heidi :wub: took me to Wendy's

then i bought a few groceries and goo gone for my art table.

[medeous]

i got my new mattress yesterday.
those commercials that show people falling asleep as soon as the touch the mattress ARE COMPLETELY ACCURATE!!!
i took a 4 hour nap yesterday and a 3 hour nap today.

[Larrissa]

i had a distaster.

i went to close the garage door ...

hit the button and walked away.

heard a terrible crunching sound.

went back.

the door was crumpling because of this big speaker box thing was in the track.

the auto stop malfunctioned.

the door wouldnt stop crunching itself.

and AMAZINGLY the stepdad says i do the dishes and we are squre.

:blink:

i cant believe i did that.

we finally got it closed again, took alot of work.

the landlord is going to replace it too.

[gwensmom]

I just got back from the movie Supersize Me. Everyone must see this movie! If you need some motivation to eat right and/or lose weight, this is it.

I really can't wait to see Fahrenheit 9/11.

I need a new mattress too and I want one made out of that space age foam.

[Lilac]

Heyyyy...Larrissa's here! :rock:

So...do you have to sleep exposed to the outdoors since you broke the garage door?

No third fact.

[hammerquill]

Medeous's post has me curious as to what magical new sort of mattress this is.

It also has me curious as to whether she's being paid to advertise for them.

And, given my most recent experience buying a foam mattress, I'm curious if the reason you fall asleep instantly might be that some of the horrendous clouds of toxic gasses billowing off it when you first get it home might have a narcotic effect, even though in the case of my mattress they mostly made me want to leave the room. ;)
