Three random facts:

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - my pages is only on page 600 - not 1000 like you guys are saying...

2 - i can't decide what to wear to the party tomorrow

3 - dad really peed me off at dinner... grrrh

[thunderstorm_19]

1 - my post was bye-bye then i went back and reposted, and both times were here. grrh

2 - watching simpsons

3 - need to go up to get glue

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i really am stupid.

2 i am stupid because the glue i thought i had to go upstairs for, is right here, on the desk, a foot away from me.

3 i want to go to bed.

[Obsidian_Cat]

Sleepy now...

Must close eyes...

Nite-nite!

[gwensmom]

Today is DOA's birthday.

I wonder if she will ever come back.

Gwen has slept all night for two nights in a row. Will she do it a third time? We shall see, but don't hold your breath.

[Lilac]

I talked over my company's proposition with my father today and he thinks I should take them up on the offer and postpone starting my own business for another year or so. I'm really upset that he thinks this...it makes me feel that he doesnt have confidence in me venturing out on my own. He was all gung ho about it before, telling me that I could do anything I set my mind to...and now this turn of heart kind of makes me think that maybe he was not totally sincere in his opinion of my abitlities. I don't know...I just don't know.

I came home from work today and my son had "found" a kitten, so now I've added a kitten to the menagerie. It's to be an indoor cat exclusively. Cute little bugger, though. All grey, grey eyes, grey nose. My son has named her Bipsy. (I have a feeling that my mother was behind the "acquisition" of this critter!)

The dogs are feeling ignored.

[hammerquill]

It's interesting other people are noticing the vanishing post phenomenon. There have been occasional posts about it in the past, but now everyone's noticing it. I have seen it many times. It occurs when your post would begin a new page of the thread, but not every time.

I don't think James is right about it having to do with the browser cache, because it doesn't seem to behave like a cache problem in my experience, but I have yet to try to disprove it.

When your post seems not to be there, instead of reposting you can check by going up to the URL line in your browser, and setting the number after "&st=" one higher than it is. You will then get a new page of posts, starting one post ahead of the previous start of page, and you should see your post at the bottom.

[namelessgirl]

I just got back from seeing King Arthur.

It sucked so freaking bad.

I have lost all respect for John Matthews, the Arthurian consultant they used, whose books I actually own.


BAH.

[kamoke]

I am getting more photos used by varnson productions. This gives me some confidence in my own talents..

Two of my smartest friends have picked up smoking.. This comes to an absolute complete shock to me. These two are the most level headed people I know.. well, so I thought..

cancer and diabetes run in the blood ;)

[kamoke]

late night photo adventures now!

the hot chocolate was great

Germany

[Lilac]

I can't sleep. I've been lying in bed thinking about that conversation with my father...

I need to just let it go!

I also need to get to sleep...I'm having a cup of chamomile and hoping that does the trick.

[Gingersmack]

Lilac really needs to get to sleep.

Stop worrying about the conversation, it will resolve itself...

Chamomile is good, I have cranberry decaf which is delish.

[kamoke]

;) *I've erased my first fact. It has been lost forever

;) 5:10 is even a little too late for me..

;) the police stopped me and searched my bag tonight
"so you're a photographer"
"well, I take photos..?"

;)

[trinitypowers]

Why did they stop you?

Gotta go to work now.

Yes, I work at 4:30 in the morning. Somebody shoot me.

[Curlita]

Up with insomnia. Don't understand why, as I was tired earlier and went on a walk, so should have been able to sleep through the night. Drinking milk and eating canned peaches.

Lilac, I think parents just want security for their kids. And it's always hard to hear advice about what you should do when you haven't made up your mind yet, and/or you're leaning in the other direction! Hugs.

So Britney Spears is engaged. Maybe she'll be able to pull off being married and divorced twice in the same year!

brilliant, i was wondering about the url numbers but was much too lazy to attempt to figure it out

i came to a few conclusions last night, this is good

talked to the exman on the phone and found a huge reserve of anger, didnt know i had this.

bonus? namelessgirl is forcing me to have a livejournal.

[Larrissa]

AHAHAHAHA IT WORKS

[Dalmaney]

I have no hot water.
I have heard exactly two complaints from 18 kids.
I am baffled.

[Obsidian_Cat]

My eyes are burning...

I'm hungry, but that banana just looks revolting for some reason...

I have completely given him up, no more of this nonsense.

[Curlita]

My sister did summer camp for years and noticed that along with TV and video games, kids also left their hygiene behind. Likely they have not noticed the lack yet. :)

I am running out of boxes to pack things in.

The painters are done with our house!

[sarahkate]

~ I'm glad Curlita's painting fiasco is over with! Hurray!

~ Last night my boyfriend and I got into a long arguement about putting candy in a pinata. No lie. :wacko:

~ I finished registering for my college classes. Woohoo. Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to pay for it all.

[Larrissa]

oooooh i cant believe ive come to this descision

what the hell am i thinking?

oh yeah, i have real life to attend to

[tanagee]

3 laundry baskets full of dirty clothes ready to be loaded in to the car to be washed at my grandma's.

My hubby has yet to investigate the source of the spin but no agitate issues my washer is having.

I would love to just go out and buy this washing machine (http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&vertical=APPL&pid=02644042000&tab=description#tablink) as the one I have was one of the better cheap ones and it is going to completely die one of these days anyway.

[Larrissa]

i just thought of mmmm espresso

:rofl: ahhhhh shit

i wonder what i will do with my time? get a job maybe?

[gwensmom]

Gwen threw up at school and I had to go get her early.

She is fine but I did not get my Thursday morning nap. :angry:

I might not make it through the summer. :wacko:

[velma]

i am in complete slug mode today

so much so i just sat through an entire episode of True Hollywood Story

i've decided it's ok

[Dalmaney]

I also did not get my Thursday morning nap.

The guy that was supposed to rent us a 15 passenger van for the weekend screwed up and rented it to someone else, leaving me to find a way to get 19 people to Winnipeg and back.

I think I've got it almost straightened out, except Pete was supposed to pick up the van tomorrow and he now needs to come up with a 7 passenger minivan instead. He doesn't know this and left no phone number. (See previous posts referring to my feelings about Pete. I do not appreciate that man.)

[Larrissa]

its 11:15 am. i am mentally preparing for takeoff.

an evil leg cramp woke me up screaming last night, what the hell??

denial was a pleasing place, too bad i cant stay.

aw, Sarah -- maybe we need to run away for awhile and remember who we used to be!

I am totally without direction for the first time in years and it feels heavy in my hands.

I make emotional decisions and fret too much when I have nothing to do.

[gwensmom]

Originally posted by bluecrayon@Jul 8 2004, 12:46 PM
aw, Sarah -- maybe we need to run away for awhile and remember who we used to be!

Last night at Baskin Robbins I saw a table full of 8 cute teenaged girls and started thinking of who I used to be.

Trouble is, I wouldn't want to be that way any more.

Hard times will bend you to a breaking point but they make you wiser in many respects.

Gwen has eaten lunch and not thrown it up so I guess we are ok.

I posted pics of my disorganization in Swirlygirls thread. Hopefully they are the "before" pics and there will be some much better "after" pics.

GWLS AND Obsidian Cat are coming to Memphis! *happy dance*. When I see them I will have met three other nervousers in person- lucky me!

[Cuilanië]

I saw my chiro tonight, but he missed a tense spot... Unusual and annoying.

I'm hungry, but I just found out that I'm all out of what I planned to eat. <_<

I have a new allergy med. Hope it does a better job than the old one.

[zanna]

i feel so blah.

i bought some new socks last night.

my friend wants to go see fahrenheit 9/11 tonight. i don't know if i really want to.

[Cuilanië]

I'm having the vanishing post problem! I'd noticed it before - almost ever since I joined, actually - but it's doing it more often now.

I tried using the 'go to page X' function, but it wouldn't let me. Hammerquill's solution works, though.

I need to figure out what to eat, or I'll be sick. Just one of those days...

[Cuilanië]

Aw shucks, another round of comforting hug-ness for zanna, gwensmom, ms. crayon, Lilac, siafu... and anyone not mentioned here who needs one.

My roommate scarpered out very early this morning and hasn't been in all day. He left a friend asleep in his bed and no clue where he's got to or when he's coming back... All his stuff's here though, so I guess that would be sometime this evening.

I am ever-so-confused now about whether or not I need a visa for the US... sigh. I'm writing to the consulate in Montréal, bet they'll know what applies to Canadians better than the one in Paris does.

[Curlita]

I have yummy chili and cornbread to eat for lunch.

I'm jealous of the Memphis get-together! I wish some n-nessers would come see me in Seattle. I will have a spacious guest room in just over a month.

I think I'm going to go get some hot chocolate... the weather has turned here, so that chili and hot chocolate make sense.

[siafu]

i'll come see you, curlita. will you pick me up at the bus stop?

i am four dollars short. i can't fix it until heidi comes home so i am sitting around being intent that nothing bad should happen.

does anyone have an easy recipe for cinnamon rollls? i don't have any bisquick.
(i guess i've decided on cinnamon bars or cinnamon loaf.) i don't feel so much like cutting and rolling and dipping and whatever else.

[bluecrayon]

I have no EASY cinnamon roll recipes, but I will give you $4.

I am not quite doing nothing, which takes enegy, too -- I AM writing stories and submitting them around...

I still feel time breathing on my neck, though.

Can we all get together for a potluck tomorrow night?

[siafu]

thanks, blue! you're a cherry lifesaver.

i'd potluck with you anytime.

i'm getting good at casseroles.

[Curlita]

Theresa, I would happily pick you up at the train or bus station! I recommend the train.

Real estate agent keeps calling. I think she and I need some time apart. It's not her, it's me.

Damn window cleaners will not return my calls.

[Obsidian_Cat]

I'll visit you next time I'm on the West coast Curlita!

I was in Oregon last spring, and it was lovely...

One of my latest goals in life is to take at least two vacations per year, and actually go somewhere!

[Dalmaney]

I am holding Pete's paycheque hostage. No van, no cheque.

I have calmed down signifigantly from this morning.

I deal with stress by releasing a large amount of adrenaline into my system and abandoning common sense.

[siafu]

that pete.

cool, curlita. let me know when you're ready for me to break in that guest room. i'll try not to be like bob in what about bob.

ok, the real final answer is cinnamon scones.

[Dalmaney]

I should cook something with rhubarb.

I should have slept... but I can't... so I'll try to sleep during their lecture tonight.

That Pete indeed... he is my nemesis. Not that any of this fiasco is really his fault. Just the part where I wish I could FIND him to explain the new plan to him. Jerk.

[zanna]

i think i'm about to do something very unlike me.

i met this guy online today, and we talked for about an hour.

then he suggested we hangout since we only live one city apart.

in about an hour i'll be meeting him.

:unsure:

[Curlita]

Theresa, we move in on August 13 (well, we close then, I'm assuming we'll move close to then also).

I can't stop eating hard candy sticks.

In an hour I get to leave to run errands before the board meeting. I'm going to go to Target. Whee!

[Curlita]

Husband is in charge of getting estimate for a new deck, which we need by tomorrow for inspection paperwork.

E-mail from husband reads, "I am trying to get a hold of C, but have no number."

Wife's question: how can he have been trying to reach C when he has no phone number? What form, exactly, has this "trying" been taking? <_<

[zanna]

ok, i'm off to meet this mystery man.

wish me luck.

god knows i need a change, i really do.

[kamoke]

be careful zanna!

I did nothing but cook outside today! I love it

I saw my sister too, only for a second though.. mainly because I forgot we were all having supper together

[gwensmom]

I melted down about 4:30 P.M. Gwensdad came home right in the middle of it.

There will be no escape. Gwensdad's employers want him to work all weekend and there is no one to help with Gwen during the day.

I feel like breaking things.

harrison either- we are at night four (tonight) actually, of no sleep (and throwing up all over the place, and diarrhea (tmi, i know, but...) he has an ear infection and has been on antibiotics for almost 3 days now.... :(

our poor babies, sarah!!!

oh, and us too... everyone always forgets to feel sorry for the moms when the kids are up all night long!!! ;)

[hammerquill]

ok, the real final answer is cinnamon scones.

Not forty-two??? Damn. All this time...

Eve's actually been getting to bed at something like a normal hour lately.

I think it's a plot to get me to be productive in my evenings.

But I've seen through her machinations, and will resist.

[kamoke]

*thanks editor

[bluecrayon]

I am waiting for Helquin and Larrissa and Lilac to show up -- I have my party dress on and no party to dance at!!!!

I danced with him on the phone this afternoon and I am smiling into my evening...

I really like Sirius and wonder why she likes Bush, the younger. ????

[Gingersmack]

I want to play with BlueCrayon. Have party dress and blender, will travel.

Hubby took the two older kidlets to see Spiderman ll tonight, I welcomed the break. Me and Itty Bitty hung out and watched the Blues Clues movie.

I wonder why ANYONE likes Bush Jr.

[frizball]

My family drives me mad.

I am sick of hearing all the women in my fam talk about no carbs and how I "EAT CRAP" all the time... i like crap Ok?

Speaking of eating crap...I had pineapple sorbet tonight. HAH!

--Leah

[kamoke]

i wrote her, she wrote me back, now i can't seem to write her back!

im so damn childish


and i want to believe in god and heaven

[Curlita]

Sirius likes Bush the Younger? Hmmm. Strange and interesting news.

I got my baby sling in the mail! I tried it out with Lucy, our cat. She loved it.

Maybe I need to get another one for her.

[zanna]

i am reeling from the evening that just ended.

it makes me question why i'm putting myself through all the hell i'm in over him.

the worst part is is that i think i have to see him tomorrow. i don't know what i should do.

[kamoke]

Im trying to figure out if I can handle an eight hour work day on no sleep..

should I sleep for two and a half hours?

let go. frou frou

[moonweaver]

Just read about four days worth of this topic.

My husband started his new job (coming out of retirement: telephone work again) yesterday.

I am his wake-up call at 5 a.m., as he has to be in Brandon by 7:30.

[Obsidian_Cat]

Woo-hoo, I got to sleep in til 7am this morning!

That's only 'cause I worked til 8pm last night...

I hope, I hope, I hope they don't need anything done tomorrow, 'cause I'd really like Saturday off!

~ Not that it's any of my business but seeing that I am your virtual big-sister (;)) I will throw my advice upon you anyway... If you were to die tomorrow and look back upon your life would you regret all of the waiting around all lonely for the times when Man #1 felt it was convenient for him to spend time with you? Or would it all have been worth the little bits of time you did spend together? Or would you have been happier without Man #1 so you could spend your time with Man #2 or Man #3 or #4... and so on... Guess you just have to ask yourself if all of the waiting and loneliness is worth missing out on meeting and experiencing new people?


I am waiting for Helquin and Larrissa and Lilac to show up -- I have my party dress on and no party to dance at!!!!

~ I wonder if Blue heard about Miss Larrissa's decision (http://forums.nervousness.org/index.php?showtopic=10507)? Didn't want Miss Blue to to feel stood up for the party - Larrissa had a good excuse for now showing up ;)


~ I'm feeling anxious today for no particular reason.

[Obsidian_Cat]

Well Blue, I don't have any party dresses, and I'm not a big party girl...

But I do have some really good tequila and margherita mix from Williams & Sonoma that would go well with Gingersmacks blender...

And I'm feeling really hyper today! I should probably channel this energy into some work.

[siafu]

i wish i were in brandon, even at 7:30. i miss florida so much, and sometimes think i made a horribly wrong decision. but not today. i don't think that today. <_<

i got my four dollars in time. :lol:

i need to make something supercool for dinner, but my vegetables consist of one green bean on the bush out in a container in the back. we shall see. :unsure:

[nianono]

Random fact first:

I am a very wooden actor. I was majoring in Theatre (for costume design) and changed majors simply because I am mortifyingly bad at acting. They make you take the acting classes no matter what.

Random fact second:

I don't really like emoticons, but I still find myself using them because there they are.

Random fact third:

I love rats, well, actually I like most rodents, but rats are my favorite.

Note to Gwensmom: God I know how you feel. I have a toddler and a baby and sometimes the papa will be gone for 12 hours or more. I also have not got anyone to give me a hand. It is completely maddening isn't it? Sometimes I think I will go crazy and I have had many meltdowns. However, I just keep trying to be nicer every day to my sweet babies.
Sonia

[nymphette]

just popping in to say hi....

and to see if gwensmom got any sleep last night!!!

it's still grumpy-central here... :(

and the kids arent' in very good moods either.... <_< :P

[Dalmaney]

I have become less dependent on TRF since I began regularly ranting in my livejournal.

My kids here want to read my livejournal, but I told them I'll give it to them at the end of the summer. I rant a little too often about Pete, and as much as I get frustrated with him, it's not right to fight in front of the kids. ;)

He should be back soon, and he'd better be driving a van.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1- I'm bored. My life has become pretty boring....

2- not really boring in a bad way...It's kinda nice really. I'm learning to cope with not having the drama and stress that I'm used to...I'm actually not worried about anything right now. This is a first...

3- I think I would be happy if I would just let myself be happy.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1- I love the library...It allows me to pop in and check up on everyone here.

2- I still miss to whole lot of ya...

3- The boy and I are going to look at an apartment today :) If all goes well we'll have our own place again soon (not to mention internet- yee haw!)


:wub:

[tanagee]

:wave: Hi DOA!

Too uninspired to eat breakfast so I am anxiously awaiting for it to be 11 so that I can rationalize having a sandwich and some chips.

Made 2 pitchers of iced tea, a pitcher of homemade-homegrown lemonade this morning as well as doing dishes.

I have so many Lemons...Would it be legal for me to naked mail them to people? Now that I think about it, I think it's you can't bring fruit in to CA from other states, not take it out.

[Obsidian_Cat]

Oooh, Tanagee - you can mail me as many lemons as you want! I loooove anything lemon....

I can't grow anything in my apartment except mold and dustbunnies. I do have a tiny flower bed by the door though... I dream of a real garden someday!

I think I'm going to take a 1/2 day from work this afternoon...

[tanagee]

Megan is more talented than me. All the other kids painted bright colors and rainbows...my kid painted my mood that day ;)
http://img38.photobucket.com/albums/v117/tanagee/meganswatercolor.jpg

She kept begging to watch TV this morning so I told her no, not until you help me clean up all the toys off the floor.

Guess what she's doing and how my living room looks? :)

[nymphette]

just got off the phone on a half hour crying session with my perinatologist......

i was trying to explain to his the hell we went through with harrison when he got sick and the shit we've had to put up with in the 18 months since.....

i'm sure he's used to hormonal pregnant women.... but it doesnt' make me feel any better about not being able to calmly discuss and be 100% rational about those medical imbeciles.....

:( :angry: :'(

[nymphette]

he wants us to talk to harrison's doctor about POST delivery diagnosis....

i still dont' think he quite understands what the incompetent NICU here put us through and that it WILL NOT happen again.... :(

but says that we should talk to edmonton's metabolic/genetic staff about characterizing the defective gene while we are there (july 19-23 we'll be out there...) and then getting a later, and SAFER amnio done....

though i still dont' think he quite understands why we are insistent about knowing.... :(

[indigo]

I know it is easy for me to say because I am not IN the situation, but I think that you need to tell this Dr. that while you respect his opinion as well as his position on the issue, the decision is yours to make and not his. NOBODY knows what it was like to go through that except you and so only YOU can decide what is best for YOU. If he cannot respect that then find another doctor. (not like he will be delivering anyway right? what are the chances he would be on-call that night?)

I am sorry that you have to keep going through these things.

I am sending you a virtual hug..... :hug: (that hug is almost as goofy as the MSN hug)

[sarahkate]

Howdy again DOA!! :D

~ Aww big hugs to Robyn! :wub: Don't feel bad about getting upset while talking to the doctor - you carry around a lot of stress on your shoulders and discussing something as serious as the health of your child is enough to break anyone I'm sure. I would have cried too!

~ Today is a blah day. I can't get motivated to do anything lately, especially today.

~ As I was driving to work this morning I saw a funky old abandon bicycle on the side of the road which goes underneath a railroad bridge. The bike looked like it was in decent shape except for the fact that the seat was missing. Strange. I wonder who left it there. Did the seat fall off as they were riding it? Did they leave it under the bridge so it wouldn't get wet? I wonder if it will be there when I pass by on my way home tonight.

[kittymao]

i have plans of being drunk by the time my BF comes home. I also have plans of swimming. But alas- there are things to be done that are more important than swimming and drinking, like Laundry and Fajitas.

I got the Johnny Cash decobook today from an LMAO, and geez, that Man... man. Sometimes I think how I would have done ANYTHING to be June Carter... to have known that Man so well, to know what he thought and to witness firsthand his talents... I think Johnny was a tortured soul and June was his only refuge... I guess I wanna be like that someday- I wanna be the woman who a man only needs a hug from to make the world right. Ha. But- I don't think boys like that exist anymore. But Rudy's as close as one I've ever found.

Gross out fact- My right nostril has been stuffed and yet dried out all day and I've finally discovered why- dried up blood. yack. How did that happen?

[kittymao]

sometimes people take the seats off their bikes to prevent them from getting stolen. Also, crackheads like to use bicycles as transportation becuase it helps release that extra "energy".

Hm. However, SK does not seem like the type of gal to go carousing about in a crackhead-infested neighborhood so I doubt that's even the case.

whenever I say "crackhead", I think of Dave Chapelle as Tyrone Wiggums. *snickers*

[gwensmom]

Gwen spit up again today and I think she is getting a fever. But she is sleeping really well at night- go figure.

Gwensdad does not have to work this weekend thank goodness :yay:

Tomorrow I will mail off three boxes of my clutter I sold on ebay. I have 5 more things listed now and started photographing even more more junk today. I just loooooooove getting paid to send people stuff I don't want!

Gwensdad is worried I will auction off him and his dog. I told him that if I do, they would be the last things to go and I would be sure to sell them as a set. But I would probably have to pay someone to take them and I don't have any junior caramels or a PS2.

Hi all you new people! I can't wait to read more Random Facts about y'all.

And hi DOA! It is always a nice surprise to see a post from you.

[Cuilanië]

I'm having a PMS-induced meltdown, and feeling ridiculous. But it doesn't help.

Due to an unseemly incident at the grocery store (dammit, the bank told me the damn card would be fixed and it still doesn't work!!), I have nothing to eat. Yip yip yip.

But enough whining... I saw a beautiful, perfect, very clear rainbow arching up from behind the school, and a second one, much fainter, mirroring it to the left.

[siafu]

aww E, big hugs. hope you feel better soon.

that card thing happened to us once. and since Heidi keeps a running tally of groceries in her head, it messed her up for weeks.

yay for your rainbows. i love one rainbow, but more than one is just super gravy.

[Cuilanië]

Thanks, Theresa. Eating something will solve part of the problem... there's got to be something substantial and edible in the cupboard somewhere.

The probability of my having to move out of this apartment in October is high. This is not convenient, but will have to be dealt with, one way or another.

I got ambushed by a bookstore this afternoon. :rolleyes:

:) thank you sarahkate, it's like you nailed exactly the predicament i'm in. i know what's right, i know what's wrong, but i also know what i want and what i should do. all of these things are pulling me in different directions.

but, i went ahead and saw him today after spending last night with well, the other him. :blink: :wacko:

i think i'm ready to have to move up to atlanta for college. i need a change.

[zanna]

but anyway ..i'm tired of feeling all sad over human beings. they suck.

so last night i went and met this guy i met over the internet, his name is murphy. and you know, i had fun, with someone my age, i really had a good time.

he's coming over again in a few hours. the wrost part though ..knowing that there is an impeding decision on the horizon. :(

[Curlita]

I stayed home today to clean and prep the house for sale. Why am I surprised that it isn't any fun?

Jonny just took a load of stuff to the storage facility and I snuck up here to post and check in on all my nervous peeps.

Big hugs to Robyn and Eve and zanna and anyone else who needs one...

[bluecrayon]

aw, Zanna! If you already feel a decision has to be made, I think you might just already know the decision... ;)

try to listen to your head as well as your heart.

your heart will lead you astray if you're not careful.

[Cuilanië]

I had a strange kitchen adventure involving my ginger lemonade, and I'm feeling better now. Thanks for the hugs!

I found a can of chili, which I heated up for dinner. It makes 2 servings, but I didn't finish the first one. Stuff's tasteless when it cools. And, must I say it again, I don't have a microwave in my shoebox of a kitchen...

The shower will probably be unusable for a week starting tomorrow. Whee!

[nianono]

1. We are going to have a German high-school student staying with us for the next school year. She arrives August 12th!

2. I just talked to my sister on the phone for an hour.

3. I cleaned the living room while I was talking to her.

Sonia

[thunderstorm_19]

1 i had a little too much to drink in celebration of gran's birthday yesterday, so i have been feeling a little pooey today

2 i'm going to go to bed soon

3 i will also drink plenty of water

[frizball]

I went and saw where I will be staying in next semester-the rooms are small, but the living area is a good size, it has an awesome balcony that looks down on st. charles avenue..... and it used to be a nunnery.

I wonder if there will be nun ghosts in my room which will look down upon me when I engage in naughty/carnal/drunken acts :ph34r:

I piddled around with my mother and grandmother looking through antique stores and little funky shops all day. I can't tell you how many people comment on how we all look exactly the same.... scary

[namelessgirl]

i miss larrissa!

i don't want to work tomorrow.

tired and should go to bed.

[tanagee]

The ROUS'es have returned and are playing tag in my attic and walls.

It freaks me out man!

Speaking of rodents...Insipid hasn't been around, I hope she's okay. (not that SHE is a rodent)

[bluecrayon]

I miss Larrissa, too, but look who IS here: Kamoke, Helquin, Me, You, bingsy -- come on. Let's rock out!!! :lol:

I talked to infatuation art guy for a long time today so I am happy.

and a happy me is definitely a better me. ;)

[kamoke]

surprisingly, work was fun and fast going, even with my two and a half hours of sleep..

Yelling at the top of your lungs, in the middle of nowhere, where no one can hear you, feels very good

I need to stop putting off cleaning my room, and I need to get to work on those white walls.. yuck

[tanagee]

just screaming in general is very cathartic.

As is playing the drums

OH MY GOD! it is almost 10 and Megan is still on the couch watching Mister Rodgers.

[Dalmaney]

The Boy called me, but ditched me when one of his roomies showed up to visit him at camp.

He said he might call back, but someone's on the phone. So that won't work.

I miss him... alot... and I'm only half done being away.

[kamoke]

I don't miss larrissa! :lol:

it's 3am and I'd like to go to bed

Im a little hungry right now, but am not feeling overwhelmed with enthusiasm to make something

[bluecrayon]

Missing the hims in our lives is a constant melancholy...

I try to dance around the distance by being silly and facetious

but really, I am aching all over the place and wish I could dance away from this sometimes... :(

[moonweaver]

I need to mail my LMAO tomorrow, but first I need to go to Office Depot for envelopes.

I MUST go to bed earlier tonight.

I have a hard time thinking of three random facts sometimes; they're so mundane.

[hammerquill]

I should be getting to bed soon.

I have to get up early (for the weekend) to go to the SF Silent Film Festival.

Two long days of great silent films with great accompaniment is gruelling in its way, but I wouldn't miss it.

[frizball]

I just got off the phone with my best bud.

We could talk on the phone for days on end... sometimes we do, maybe that is why I used 2000 minutes on my cell this month?

I do not like his laberet chin lippy piercing --and I dont really have a good reason not to. i just dont like it, it distracts me when he is talking> and Idont want to tell him b/c he would take it out... and its his face

[thunderstorm_19]

1 my throat's a bit sore, dry... it could be that i'm catching aunt jane's cold... but i think it's leftover from drinking too much on thursday

2 i'm still sleepy

3 computer issues were interfering for a while there - yesterday dad changed our modem (our service is not going to support the old one after this month), and then it kicked my access off, so we had to fix it... i think it's all set now.

[Obsidian_Cat]

There's a little orphan bunny living in my flower bed... I found him when I watered the plants and accidentally watered him too!

He's not teeny tiny, but not full grown yet.

I don't know what to do for him... I left him some water, spinach, carrots and strawberries in case he was hungry. I don't know how old bunnies are when they start eating solid food...

:(

[zanna]

now all of a sudden i've got morals? :angry: i'm such a hypocrite.

..i was up until 5 am just laying down thinking about everything.

i should have just got up and started playing chain games, it would have taken my mind off of everything ..

[siafu]

morals are ok to get whenever.

i should have ridden the bus to the sf silent film festival.

do you know...i hate watching tv on the couch. i should have taken my questions out there. instead we argued about it. the couch has these thin pillows on top of the back pillows. i hate those thin pillows. i also really cannot stand only doing one thing at a time usually. <_<

[Curlita]

I am thinking about the orphan bunny... if it isn't very wee, it could probably eat the veggies. Maybe call a vet? Wild bunnies are smaller than domestics, so it may be older than it looks.

People in my family name inantimate objects. My mother's vaccuum cleaner is named Mr. Sucker.

I'm eating a lemon candy stick.

[gwensmom]

Zanna, try stop worrying about these boys! You are about to go to school and start a whole new chapter of your life. It can be scary but it's exciting too. Go with an open mind and see what's out there for you . :hug:

Gwen slept the entire morning while her daddy was in charge of her. Ten minutes after he left she woke up hungry, wet and needing all kinds of attention. But she seems to be feeling much better :) .

I really need to see a picture of that little bunny.

[Obsidian_Cat]

I put a big broken flower pot in my flower bed to give bunny a good place to hide.

Some of the spinach is gone... I hope he ate it!

I'll see if I can coax him out for a picture tonite - he's a cutie! He's not a tiny baby, but he's definitely not full-grown, even for a wild rabbit. I'd say he's "pre-teen!"

[nianono]

1. I find 4-leaf clovers frequently.

2. If you pick up a book in my house, a 4-leaf clover may fall out.

3. I like tofu.

-Sonia

[trinitypowers]

1. I have never seen a real four-leaf clover.

2. I have a bunny. His name is Snickers, cuz he's a calico with "Snicker-ish" colors.

3. Snickers guards the kitchen tile and if my cat tries to walk step on the tile to get in or out of the kitchen....ON GUARD! Super Bunny!

[Cuilanië]

If I hadn't eaten so much, I'd be drunk.

Well, tipsy anyway.

Comes from all that wine.

*yes, tippo... missed that one. >.<

[Cuilanië]

Was expecting the shower-destroyers, so I'd chilled a bottle of white wine.

It's all gone.

The shower stall has been destroyed in style.

[Cuilanië]

I also had some dried fruit and mixed nuts to nibble on.

All gone except the hazelnuts.

I can't eat those, I'm allergic.

[Cuilanië]

3RFacts posting spree anyone?

Tippos all over the place for me to catch.

I wanted to respond to some recent posts here, but I'll have to go read them all over again.

[Cuilanië]

I should have taken a darn plane to the SF Silent Film Festival.

I miss him.

Montréal is starting to make sense. For a while.

[trinitypowers]

Did someone say shopping spree?

Oh, that's not right.

It was posting spree!

[trinitypowers]

I hate work.

I hate working on Saturdays.

But, I hate bills worse, so I go to work...on Saturdays.

[Cuilanië]

I need a plan to survive a week without a shower in the apartment.

I could take up swimming again, but it's the wrong time of the month.

I want a hot-water bottle.

[Cuilanië]

hee hee!

I used to work every other weekend when I was a student.

It was always the weekend something cool was happening.

I wanted to post something earlier, but it's scattered away.

[Cuilanië]

Someone smoked three cigarettes in my apartment this evening while destroying the shower.

Fortunately, the window was wide open, so I didn't have to give offense by opening it.

There's still a faint smell. Blech. <_<

[Cuilanië]

Roommate's gone to his parents' until Tuesday.

This means I'm using the high-speed modem and can bypass my regular ISP's recent spate of server problems.

My father called today while the shower was being destroyed, he thought it was funny...

[Cuilanië]

Gwensmom needs to switch shifts with Gwensdad.

I bought yarn today, and one skein fell out of the bag. :(

Stuffed knit monkeys, here I come...

[Cuilanië]

Somebody shoot me, I can't stop babbling...

Spiced green tea is good.

I have to go find a book. A certain particular book. I want to find it used before I give in and buy it new.

[siafu]

what book are you looking for, E?

i am feeling much more gruntled than before.

i need a new keyboard for my laptop before the test, right? i ordered one and never got it. have to order again. must get it this time.

[Curlita]

I will be happy when Theresa's test is over and all the anxiety is ended. The stress is palpable.

I have three pieces of trident gum in my mouth. I feel like a cow chewing my cud.

I would be much more excited about leaving work early if I were doing something besides cleaning when I got home.

[kamoke]

Im on the verge of drunk, and Im not too long home from work

It seems to me that the higher your status the dumber you seem

Im so smart it scares me. I am also very sarcastic.
please combine the two above facts for blah blahb blah

[gwensmom]

Yay! :yay:

I spoke too soon. Gwen threw up twice this afternoon. I have no idea what to do except keep her hydrated and hope it goes away!

The babysitter is coming late tonight :(

[moonweaver]

Where in FL did Siafu used to live, I wonder.

My husband finished his first two days on his new job, Thursday and Friday, and then spent today doing telephone work for his brother's glass shop, probably without pay.

When he works in Brandon, he takes our only car, so he can commute.

[nianono]

1. I said I was going to bed 15 minutes ago and have yet to move my behind from the computer chair.

2. It is very noisy outside tonight.

3. I had some very tasty chicken sausage for lunch today. Gerhard's Napa Valley Chicken Sausage.

[moonweaver]

When I don't have a car, I can't get to the Post Office. :(

Sometime next week he's supposed to start on the new job his boss bid on in Fort Lauderdale, and then he'll ride in the company truck and stay until the weekend.
(I made a typo and typed Launderdale, but caught it in time. It made me laugh, though.)

I'm actually looking forward to his being gone for a few days, in spite of the fact that I love him, and we've been married almost 48 years. (Or because of it!) ;)

[kamoke]

48 years seems to be quite a while of marrage

hello nianono

sentances.spelling.grammar

[nianono]

1. I have never been married to anyone for 48 years. I know what you mean about getting some space, tho.

2. I got that chicken sausage at the co-op. It is organic chicken...

3. My baby is crying.

[nianono]

1. I went upstairs and nursed the baby back to sleep, brushed my teeth and then instead of going to bed I came back to do this again. Very addictive. Is that 3 things or one?

2. Hello Kamoke. I had to run upstairs and so left myself logged in. I didn't see your post until I came back.

3. I hate ticks. But, who doesn't? That was pretty random, huh?

[nianono]

1. I have been told that I am related to Molly Pitcher.

2. I put something here, and then deleted it.

3. My grandfather worked for Liquid Carbonics corporation in Chicago, IL and when I was a child, we went to a party the company had for the Georgia/Florida football game (it was in Florida). My father put dry ice in his mouth. That was weird. There I go again with the three-in-one factoid.

[tanagee]

I am getting "that feeling" in the back of my throat. Megan has been snerfy with a runny nose for a few days so it appears that we may have a bug in our house.

The ROUS'es have not been as active today, and last night me and the hubby put out bait in the attic so it is only a matter of time.

My mom told me to get a cat...yeah right! Lucky Dog would eat it, that is if the a**holes that zip around the neighborhood didn't hit it first.

[kamoke]

;)

[kamoke]

;)

[frizball]

I came back to texas today.

Approximately 5 minutes after my arrival, my dad begins to tear me down about something that I don't do right or some reason I'm a little asshole or basically any reason to treat me like doggie dung.

I dont like being around him very much. Ok, much at all. This bums me out.

[Cuilanië]

Looking for that single-volume hardback edition of His Dark Materials. I can probably find it here used... I have an idea of where to look.

Glad you're feeling better. :)

I miss Larrissa too.

[moonweaver]

Here's another who misses Larrissa, but I wish her well with her goal.

I thought about going to bed, but obviously I didn't do it.

Tomorrow I will throw away or give away at least three bags full of stuff in my studio.

[frizball]

My bottom is asleep from sitting in this little wooden chair for so long.

I forgot tomorrow was sunday and I have to wake up for mass in the morning. Crap.


Someone downstairs keeps farting loudly and it's v. disgusting. I believe it's my father.

[bluecrayon]

how many days would I have to be gone before anyone missed me?

lots of time stretching out ahead of me...

I often think of disappearing into it.

[kamoke]

blue, we would miss you like crazy!

I should disappear to work [!] It's 12:04 and I was supposed to be to work at 11 ;)

im cold

[Obsidian_Cat]

No one is allowed to leave, I won't hear of it.

Short breaks and vacations are permissible, if they are not extended.

Mr. Bunny is hiding under the flower pot and won't come out for a picture!

[tanagee]

"that feeling" has transformed in to "hurts to swallow" over night :angry: :(

My hubby is doing the car swapmeet this morning and I woke up at 5:10 to him still asleep and I asked him..."what time do you need to be there?" The answer is 6. :blink:

I doped up Megan with Children's Benedryl before bed last night at 8 and she is still asleep...I hope :unsure:

[tanagee]

right after I posted this I heard this hoarse little baby voice saying "mmmooommmyyy".

So the bug has landed.

Time to warm up my tea and hit the couch.

[indigo]

People who smoke piss me off. Why is it that people who smoke think that it entitles them to take 3, 4, or 5 times as many breaks as the rest of us???

I am clearly extra unhappy about being at work today. Seeing as how I seem to be spending my day covering for the two other people who are supposedly 'working' here today but who seem to need one break for every 42 minutes they put in.

I hope the supervisor notices their lack of 'work' when she looks at the weekend stats.

[Skilyne]

Well, I am home from NYC now. Hello to everyone!!! :wave:

I miss the city so much! And now I am thinking of ways to move there. Really, all I need to do is find a job that gives me health insurance. That is the big thing...I need health insurance. And I learn quickly and work hard, so I'd be willing to do almost anything.

I just love New York.

One of the things I miss the most are the subways. I don't know why, but I have always loved the subways.

[Dalmaney]

I went rowing this afternoon. Like Olympic-style sculling. It was superfun.

I have a nice bathing-suit tan despite my sunscreen.

I am mailing the Boy a wind-up monkey.

[zanna]

Zanna, try stop worrying about these boys! You are about to go to school and start a whole new chapter of your life. It can be scary but it's exciting too. Go with an open mind and see what's out there for you . :hug:

:) thank you.

but i'm still me, i worry myself over things that are so little in comparision to others ..

and bluecrayon, what you said about making decisions with your head and not your heart, whew. it's hard to do.

[zanna]

i made my decision, i told murphy last night. he still called me today and wants to spend tomorrow together.

i think my heart won over my head, it's not the smartest thing i could've done, but you can't change who you love, no matter how inconvient it is ..

tonight it's just going to be me, my television, and my thoughts. i'm excited about watching the premier of that new show '4400' on usa.

[Lilac]

I'm glad to see Skilyne back! I'm gald she had a good time in NY!

Like Dalmaney, I love rowing...I wonder what type of shell she has...

I'm cooking hamburger for the dogs and kitten.

[siafu]

aw tana. i hope you feel better soon.

i made these muffins (http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/getrecipe.zsp?id=8845&format=print) for breakfast. they're nice, but a little slower oven would be better. now i have something nice to snack on while i study.

after i made them, i said, i am the Muffin Commander. if you have seen jay and silent bob strike back, you know that i have seen that one-too-many times.

must. go. do. questions.

eta* man, this post says nice a lot of times. part of my distracted affect. you guys, i really appreciate you a lot. you are a wonderful online community and you often, often make my day.

theresa

[namelessgirl]

i talked with Lilac today!

i'm eating Chinese for dinner.

my cat keeps getting on top of the fridge.

[Lilac]

I talked with namelessgirl today! :yay:

Enjoyed every second of it, too!

[zanna]

this '4400' show looks like it's going to be good!

it's commerical break now.

i've got to hurry and go get a snack!

[gwensmom]

Gwen goes back to her regular school in four weeks.

My supervisor will be working off site next week and then on vacation the week after that. I usually get a lot done when she is gone because I have longer stretches of uninterrupted time.

I threw away, shredded or recycled a foot tall stack of old papers and junk last night.

[lilfrank08]

My 13 kittens playing on the back porch, they are so cute!

I spilled embossing powder all over my carpet...oops!

The living room has been overtaken by craft supplise!! :D

As is mine. All my supplies started out all happy and neat in the basement, creeped their way onto my bedroom carpet, and now have made themselves comfortable all over the living room and family room as well. I have so much to clean up :o

I want to learn the tango.

So many bloody mosquitos! Itch itch itch.

[Skilyne]

I'm glad to see Skilyne back! I'm gald she had a good time in NY! Thank you Lilac!!! :D

Edited to exclude former comment.

I should be in bed sleeping b/c I have to get up for work tommorow, but I am still on my NYC schedule, and I was usually out and about until 2:00 or so. Now I need to retrain myself.

I am working on my photo albums of pictures I got developed today from my trip...there are some GREAT ones, and I already am arranging them all.

[kamoke]

13 kittens is a lot of kittens :huh:

Im drinking here alone..

I wasn't alte for work this morning.. instead I was actually early

[siafu]

good job, kamoke. hey what does kamoke mean?

whistles innocently somebody's all nominated and stuff.

tired. can i have chicken for dinner?

[namelessgirl]

me too Lilac! Hope we can talk again soon :D

Just got off the phone with Ms Larrissa, she's so much fun.

Wasn't I supposed to be writing a paper?? :blink: :huh:

[bluecrayon]

Is there a nness phone directory or something????

I must be unlisted. :(

I'm kidding!!!! ;)

[zanna]

i once asked about the phone calls ..

i never got an answer.

hmm ..

[siafu]

blue, i would love to call ya when you're free. let me know one day when you are :D

zanna, i think the phone calls arise somehat spontaneously from random mutual agreement.

will you guys be able to live with me when i am a licensed uber-nerd?

[Skilyne]

will you guys be able to live with me when i am a licensed uber-nerd? Of course Siafu!!! I welcome uber-nerdiness! :lol:

I've been nominated! *smiles * My day has been made, because I have been working hard on doing my ATC swaps on time and hosting also. And anyways, it makes me happy.

I enjoy hosting swaps. I've got one going on now, and I LOVE the ATCs that I have gotten so far!

I have yet to go back and read the 3rf pages that I missed while I was gone. It is a daunting task...you have all been quite busy!

Yes, this is more than 3 facts, but I don't care.

I am proud of myself, because I got all my laundry from my trip washed, dried, and folded away in my drawers. For me, this is a very incredible task to complete right away. :P

[kamoke]

I hope I wake up sort of early tomorrow

and i hope it is nice

I am done for tonight

Need I say? ...

Bluecrayon's here posting this evening. I wonder if she's she posting from NYC.

If not, if she's still in SF, she definitely should have come to the SFSFF. She could have biked, or probably walked...

It was, as usual, unmissable. [NTsiafu: if you read that as "unadmissable," you need to take a break from studying. :lol:]

[moonweaver]

I followed through and threw away three bags of trash from the studio, plus I removed one bag of things I want to give away.

That hardly makes a dent in what was there, however.

I need to clear off the two tables that are covered with art supplies and junk before my friends come this afternoon for our meeting.

[Obsidian_Cat]

It's a rainy Monday morning, and I still made it to work with time to spare!

And I used my groovy new polka dot umbrella...

I had company over, and had to apologize for all of the art crap they had to step over in the living room. So much for my nifty basket organizers!

[sarahkate]

~ Oy! What a rough weekend. My weekend consisted mainly of waking up, driving, moving bazillions of boxes and furniture, driving some more, moving bazillions of boxes up a flight of stairs, sleeping again... and repeat. I'm so tired and sore.

~ Moving my mom to her new apartment was certainly an adventure with all sorts of twists and turns like... a mix-up with where we were supposed to pick up the U-Haul, boyfriend not having his license on him to rent the U-haul, then the U-haul not starting after it was completely packed with stuff because we had the flashers on (since it was parked on a busy road) for about four hours so the battery died, almost getting into a car accident because of some punk kid.... and more.

~ Today's my mom's birthday. I am too tired to make a cake so most likely I will be buying an ice cream cake after work.

[sarahkate]

~ Oh, another lovely memory from this weekend: we were unloading my car last night with more of my mom's boxes and I looked over to my right to see about 15 feet away were two young guys peeing in some bushes that are at the end of the driveway of the building my mom's apartment is in. :wacko:

~ We gave my dog a huge stuffed Sylvester last night. She loved it. She was dragging him all around and wrestling with him, and chewing on his crotch! :o :P

~ I'm starving. I think I will have some vending machine junk now.

[nymphette]

1 cranky, walking talking throat infected four year old, PLUS
1 18 month old sleepless, puking, messy diapers every half hour grump EQUALS
1 unhappy momma....

yes indeed i am feeling sorry for myself..... :(

harrison would be better if the doctor we saw, who didn't speak a total of five english words, would have listened to me when i asked her to prescribe an antibiotic a little stronger than penicillin... i KNOW we have to pay for it and it isn't covered, but at least it will do it's job and i wont' ahve to come back in a week and get it then, when the freaking amoxicil doesnt' do it's job.... :(

so, still sick... and we have to go in and get the other one....

and julian hs had a fever off and on for the past two dys, and a headache and lost his voice from his sore 'owie, scratchy' voice yesterday.... :( my poor boys....

ah well, gotta suck it up, be the momma, get the out the door and in for REAL help.... that is IF i can get an appt with a real doctor today... :(

[Lilac]

Oh, poor Nymphette! Sending many hugs your way! :hug: :hug: :hug:
I hope the boys feel better soon!

And hugs for anyone else who needs them. :hug: :hug:

Me, I'm working from home today! Yay!!! No distractions, either, because my son is spending the week at his father's!

It was, as usual, unmissable. [NTsiafu: if you read that as "unadmissable," you need to take a break from studying. ]

how did you know? :lol: i mean, isn't it an out-of-court statement offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted? ok, i guess not. the answer is A.

i'll make it next year. it took me a year or two to make it to the michigan womyn's film festival. and the sfsff requires much less gear. big plus.

i'm going to go to a drumming class this week. i got the beat. i hope.

[Obsidian_Cat]

I'm going to do some work now.

No, I don't think this is the random fictions thread.

I'm going to look for something else to eat before I do real work...

[gwensmom]

AAaaaaaaaaaauugh! :o GW is in my state today! Somebody get him out before he finds some more after-school programs to cut!

I need to get a Kerry/Edwards sign in my yard so the neighbors will have more reasons not to talk to me.

I have a really nice new neighbor who grew up across the street from my aunt. I bet she will still talk to me anyway. Her daddy owns a deli that sells really good pimiento cheese.

[zanna]

going off to the post office.

slept in til noon.

got up and trimmed my hair. :)

[Sirius]

one all-consuming fact for me today...

5 hours and 26 minutes until I can find out the results of the exams I took June 12th....

[Sirius]

i learned the husband and i both plan to write in the same person for president in november.

he and i do not discuss politics together often

so, he'll have at least two votes...

[tanagee]

I need to go to the PO too so I can weigh some bric-a-brac packages and mail off a camera LMAO.

On the one hand Megan sounds so cute with her little froggy voice, on the other I feel bad that she is sick.

Did I ever tell you that I met John Kerry and he ate some of my chocolate chip cookies? (Ok THAT is a question, but it is a fact too.)

[bluecrayon]

I am NOT in NYC. I am still here

BUT I am about to go There

9 days, but do I seem like I'm counting???? :D

counting can be good. once i almost didn't leave seattle and go back home to connecticut. i had the heidi all worried. :lol: i guess i was counting on the plus side.

john kerry ate tana's chocochip cookies. that is amazing. i think that makes her a quasi celebrity baker.

steve tyler doesn't want to miss a thing.

[gwensmom]

I bet Sirius aced her exam.

Woo woo Tanna - Cookie Baker to Presidential Candidates! That's way more impressive than the time I met Al Gore in the bargain aisle at the grocery store.

I need to find a way to mail casseroles. I think Nymphette could use one right now.

[Cuilanië]

I didn't have the right size knitting needles for stuffed monkeys.

I do now.

And I had a kickass idea in the meantime.

:ph34r: B)

[Cuilanië]

Hugs, hugs, and hugs to sick kids and exhausted mommies.

Fast approaching the 2-month mark. Time's dragging its anthropomorphic feet.

I think I'm going to download those conferences while I can do it over the high-speed connection...

[Curlita]

I spent all day yesterday cleaning house with my mum, sis, and cousin. I'm beginning to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

This morning at prenatal yoga I told a woman I do not know that everytime I looked at her I thought of the venus of Willendorf. After I explained who the Venus of Willendorf was, she said I was sweet and hugged me.

The furnace guy and the interior painter guy have already been, and now I'm just waiting for the exterior painters and the Orkin man to show up. Whee!

[siafu]

curlita, them facts sound good, great, excellent.

ub40 is named after an unemployment form.

nutria have orange front teeth and sideways mounted nipples, so they can feed young while swimming.

heyyyyyyyyyy, a trf in which i didn't bitch. how bout me? i'm big time.

[Curlita]

I heard an NPR story on nutria years ago and was pretty fascinated. I knew about the orange teeth, but not the sideways nipples.

I'm having a hard time getting motivated to start the cleaning today. Hmm.

I think some chocolate milk will help.

[kittymao]

today I was accused of being a nazi becuase I have Jolly Roger earrings and Beltbuckle.

Elephant shrews have nipples up near their shoulders so they can feed their young in a sprinting crouch- and their babes can run within minutes of birth.

uhm. Work didn't suck today. But I'm still filling out applications.

[siafu]

wow, kitty. that is the coolest animal fact.

chocolate milk always helps.

i weighed 2 pounds and 14 ounces at birth.

[Dalmaney]

I just had an email from a friend that has not spoken to me in a couple years. I've emailed her before... she's just ignored me in the past.

I slept all afternoon.

Today is my four-month with the Boy. We have 31 more days apart.

[Skilyne]

I didn't enjoy getting up for work this morning, but it wasn't a bad day. To be perfectly honest, I enjoyed work today. Maybe this is because of my time in NYC.

I don't mean to sound that I don't enjoy my work ever or anything. When it comes right down to it, I don't really mind working there. I think it is just the daily grind of it all that gets to me. That...and those crazy men I work with!!!

I got some great pictures from NYC. I don't have a scanner, but I am going to try to find a way to post a few. Maybe I'll even be brave and post one of myself! :P

[Cuilanië]

Wow, Theresa, were you premature?

I got myself a hot-water bottle at last, so I can stop being bitchy too. :)

I usually require the threat of company to get me to clean. :rolleyes:

[Skilyne]

Wow Theresa...you were little!

I was 6 lbs, 14 oz.

I am feeling very tired right now.

Welcome back Skilyne!!!

Yes, please post the pictures...especially the one of yourself!!!

I wanna see my little sis!!!!

[siafu]

yeah, like three months. fully formed lungs though. what a champ.

it was before a lot of advancements in neonatal technology.

i am a lucky champ.

[Skilyne]

Yes, please post the pictures...especially the one of yourself!!! AGHHHH!!! What scariness! I don't much like the way I look. But ok. If I should find a way to get my picture online, I will post a picture of myself.

Fair enough...I should let you see your little sis! :lol:

I am feeling silly right now for some reason. I keep laughing...but there is not anyone even around.

[Cuilanië]

A very lucky champ. And we're all lucky with you. :)

I didn't put hot enough water in the hot-water bottle. Must fix this.

It's real rubber and, well, it stinks. Needs to be aired a bit. It's also blue, with a pastel-blue covering I intend to replace asap with something more 'me'...

[Sirius]

I weighed in at 8 pounds 10 ounces and was 23 3/4 inches long when I was born. I was a big ol' baby.

and in other news, I just got two emails entitled "Your unofficial AEPA test results"

one is for Teacher Certification
one is for Teacher Certificiation - History

[Sirius]

okay, i am going to pretend you are here for support as I open each email...

well at least Theresa and Eve are here.....

[siafu]

i think rustell's jokes are funny. i laugh at all of them.

i think i have been suggestible and will have to make tuna melts for diiner.

i think the dumbest thing i learned this weekend was how dower works.

[Sirius]

speaking of people being here I haven't seen Medeous in a while..... have you?


no, not stalling....


I am quite pleased they sent the stores an entire 2 hours and fifteen minutes before they promised, I only had to wait 30 days....

[Sirius]

Test: 005 History
Status: Passed


Test: 092 Professional Knowledge: Secondary
Status: Passed




Whew

[siafu]

go rustell

go rustell

go rustell

:thewave:

[Cuilanië]

I'm burning with the need to know Siriustell's exam results. Almost as if they were mine. :crossed:

I think I was somewhat over 7 pounds at birth, and 22" long, iirc. I was two weeks late.

I'm going to skip sample-making and plunge right in. It could affect the size of the monkey, but in an even way, so I don't think it really matters...

[Sirius]

i weighed almost three times siafu at birth...hopefully i don't still have that honor....


i think rustell's jokes are funny. i laugh at all of them.
Yeah! And, better you than me. I look silly when I laugh at my own jokes.


The new kitten is a chewer, anyone have any remedies?

[Cuilanië]

:yay: Rustell!

:thewave:

Not that I doubted the outcome a single minute... :) :yay: :thewave:

[Sirius]

i suppose now I should be happy I passed and not wonder about how i "actually did." the whole pass/fail with no details is a silly concept to me. i am a detail person.

i am also out of excuses for procrastinating.


since i didn't get a long weekend for the 4th of July, i had a long weekend this weekend, so tomorrow is the day back after the long weekend, and they are always hard to do...i get used to not being at work...


Thanks for all the cheers! I am quite happy.

[Lilac]

Yay Sirius!!!! Congratulations!!!!! (smartypants :P )

I weighed 5lb 7 oz at birth, my twin sister weighed 5 lb 2 oz. Poor Mom.

When you discover how to prevent kittens from chewing, please let me know. I have a chewer, too!

[Cuilanië]

Never having had a kitten, can't help you there...

I find it funny that Rustell would foster kittens in her non-childproof house. ;)

The #§%£@ covering is leaving fuzz on my clothes. Hate that. <_<

[Cuilanië]

I have a lovely golden-brown sweater I no longer wear because it sheds fuzz at an alarming rate.

My eyes are burning. What time is it? Not even midnight yet? :blink:

Oh-kay, back to knitting monkeys. :D

[Sirius]

Yes, some days I just stare at my black sofa and love seat, which just looks like a giant siamese cat now, since she lays there regularly. It doesn't vacuum up very easily.

On the other hand, watching the cat hit her head on the glass kitchen table and glass coffee table because she doesn't see them is amusing.

Willow is pretty good about not climbing things (at least not while we are watching) so she hasn't destroyed anything yet. Aubrey, I have concerns with. We have expanded her domain from just the master bath to the mater non-bedroom (hey, how long ago was it that I told you B was going to start remodeling the master bedroom, it still isn't done. <_< I should have set a due date and threatened to leave him negative feedback if it wasn't done in time.) She's already knocked several things in the floor.

[Curlita]

Man, the joint has been jumping since I left.

Go Rustell! There was certainly no doubt in my mind that you were going to pass.

For some reason I'm surprised that Lilac has a twin. Have you mentioned here here before?

[Curlita]

On the other hand, I'm NOT surprised that siafu was a fightin' preemie. I picture her as being scrappy and fiercely determined.

I'm waiting for the Orkin man to come rid our home of ants. Days before we're ready to put the house on the market and we wind up with a major infestation.

Dog barking. Must go.

I've mentioned it here before, I think. We're fraternal twins. I'm 2 inches taller than her (Trey), have darker hair and a darker mood! :lol: She's more talented than me, though. She's a high school art teacher and an incredible artist. I tried to get her to join N'ness, but she said she had better things to do with her time! (The NERVE!!! She doesnt know what she's missing!) On the other hand, she has three children, and I KNOW they keep her hopping!

But yeah, I'm a twin...the oldest by 2 minutes.

No big deal. We never had any "wierd" twin language going on or anything. Just a coupla normal kids!

[Curlita]

My dad has a fraternal twin sister. Although she is about 8 inches shorter, she looks just like Dad, which is kinda funny.

My husband has sisters who were twins, too.

Fortunately, the twins all run in the wrong places for us to wind up siring twins. At least, this time around (cue eerie music).

[siafu]

something's been up all day, right?

it's my neck. if i move it a particular way, it hurts so much my eyes get tears in them.

being this distracted is a little tough. i'm going to go make my neck well.

[Lilac]

For those interested, I just posted a pic of my sister and I in the "Take my Family, Please" thread.

Awww, Siafu, I hope your neck feels better!

Maybe Heidi will massage it?

[Gingersmack]

I'm hot.

Just finished up a graceful envie.

Have two more to go...

[Curlita]

Neck pain is no good. Take care of your neck! Are you taking regular study breaks to stretch?

I'm exhausted and I think I am out of energy for the day. I can't do any more cleaning.

I really want to go take a bath, but I have been spraying all kinds of foul chemicals in the tub to dissolve mildew and soap scum, and I'm afraid that if I take a nice soak, my girly bits will not be happy.

[Dalmaney]

I have a fresh new crop of itchy mosquito bites.

I hope the Boy calls tonight... and I hate that he can call me, but I can't really call him because the phone is in the office and odds are that he isn't.

I am going swimming in the pool at nine.

[zanna]

i'm watching 'i love the 90's' on vh1.

entertaining.

i've got some friend over ..gotta jet.

[lilfrank08]

13 kittens is a lot of kittens
Thats alot, and thats not all i have! There are also 6 old cats, and 5 more kittens born a week ago! (together....I have 24 cats...anybody want some)

I ran 3 miles today...and am very sore(soccer practice)

I bought cheese at the store yesterday, opened it up today, and it had mold in it!! Yuck!!

[nianono]

Everyone is sleeping except me.

I ate a whole bunch of Nutella today.

We bought an upright freezer the size of our refrigerator for $5 on ebay.

(Hello Nymphette. I am so sorry you are having sick kid troubles...)

[nymphette]

1: harrison is 'almost over' his ear infection.... his ped says that his ear looks still a bit red, but that when the antibiotics are done, he should be fine... if not, then we'll get him another, stronger antibiotic.....

2: julian has a viral infection of some sort.... chicken soup and tylenol... <_< guess what i made this afternoon at my sisters???

3: gwensmom- a casserole would have been great!!! it ws hot and muggy at jodi's when i made supper.... :D

p.s. how's gwen feeling???

[nianono]

One of my all-time favorite books is Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins.

I like reading books about people who can teleport. (The Stars, My Destination and Jumper and Born to Exile etc)

I wish I could teleport. Really.

[nymphette]

we have a fund raiser coming up- some guy we dont' know saw harrison's last article in the newspaper and decided he wanted to help!!! :) sometimes, people are really great!!! he just called chris up at work and told him he wanted to do it....

the article was in today's leader post but i can't link to it becuse it's not online as a full article... :(

and something is wrong with photobucket!!! so i scanned it but i can't post it... :'(

[nymphette]

i betcha siafu was the tiniest of all of us when she was born!!!

i was a bit premature- i was 5 lbs, 11 oz and only 18 inches long....

my babies were 8 lbs, 4 1/2 oz and 9 lbs, 3 1/2 oz!!! and both were almost 22 inches long!!!

bonus- chris was a twin too, and he and his brother both weighed about 6 pounds!!! chris a little over, and ken a bit less than.... that's 12 pounds of baby, not to mention fluids, etc!!!! wow!!!

[nymphette]

i went to a "stampin' up" party on sunday with my momma....

it was actually quite fun!!! the stamps, etc were quite expensive, though the papers were reasonable prices, and their packets of skeletal leaves were cheap, compared to the scrapbooking place....

i ordered an asian themed stamp set... big surprise, right??? :P and momma bought my sister (indigo) a butterfly stamp... bigger surprise... <_<

[Skilyne]

*sigh* I am feeling sad. I know why. It is because I miss NYC.

I also miss him, even though he is right in the same city as I am.

I don't know why I do this to myself.

Another fact: I took a walk, because I felt antsy and sad...and I saw his truck and started crying quietly to myself, and cried the whole way home. I am not sure why this happened...but clearly something is bothering me.

On a brighter note...I hope that you are all doing well!!!

[nymphette]

i haven't serial posted in ages....

i haven't had time to sit at the computer for fun in ages, guess that's why....

i have to go, harrison is beeping... no rest for the weary.... though i am sure chris is snoozing on the couch.... must be nice to nap when you want to..... <_<

[Lilac]

Sending love to my little sis Skilyne. <3 <3

I have to drive 3 hours tomorrow to pick up my son. Seems he doesnt want to stay at Dad's place all week. I'm driving halfway, Dad is driving the other half to meet me in the middle and give back the child.

Speaking of the child...he's calling right now. WTF is he doing still up at 10:30???

[Skilyne]

Sending my love back to my big sis.

I should REALLY be getting to bed...or getting up tommorow is going to be crummy.

Aww-what the heck! It's going to be crummy anyways...might as well enjoy my time online tonight!

[Gingersmack]

I am ready to send off another ATC LMAO tomorrow.

I enjoy watching I Love the 80's' on VH1.

There is a pink tutu lying on the floor to the left of me.

Oh---I love that show, too!

Call from my son was to inform me that he wants to stay with his Dad after all. Dad and I talked on the phone and figured it was because Dad gave him sweets, which he never gets here at home.

So, I really don't know what's going on. Dad is having a talk with him to let him know he won't be getting sweets everyday. He'll probably be coming home

I'm glad Skilyne decided to stay and play! :D

[Skilyne]

Thanks Lilac!!! :lol:

I hope things work out with your son. My brother was the same way when my parents split up. He'd want to be at my Dad's, because my Dad spoiled him and gave him all sorts of sweets. But then after awile, he would realize he'd rather be at home anyways.

I was happy, because I got an e-mail from my brother saying that his fellow Marines and him were given fireworks, grills, and other food...and they had a 4th of July celebration at the camp. It must have been a nice break for him...to be able to celebrate in the middle of that horrid situation over there.

[Dalmaney]

I have to choose someone to do dishes tomorrow, as no one signed up. Tonight is a bad night to piss me off.

I want to talk to the Boy. I miss him.

We got kicked out of the pool due to lightning.

[Lilac]

I just want to let everyone know that I just might stay up late and play chain games!

I'm working from home tomorrow, and it doesnt matter what time I get up in the morning, so long as I get my stuff done by wedsesday.

Of course, that does NOT mean anyone is obliged to stay up and play with me. I wouldnt want anyone having a crabby day at work tomorrow on account of me! (Are you listening, little sis? ;) )

[Gingersmack]

In my 'jamas.

Glass of red wine.

Still light outside, it's almost 9.

[Curlita]

I started what I hoped would be a frank conversation with a friend of mine via e-mail and now it has turned all ooky.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow. I don't have any energy left for work with all the drama at home.

Mr. Orkin Man sez that the goo he squirted around will make the ants even more active for the next 7 days, which means that we can't put our house on the market until a week from when we'd planned to... since a buncha ants wouldn't make the best impression... I'm very nervous that our house won't sell quickly.

[Gingersmack]

Ants... grrr.

Better than having to wait for a full tenting extermination.

Lovely new house, Curlita!

[Curlita]

Thanks, Ginger! Wanna buy th
