Three random facts:

[Lilac]

I had Subway for lunch today...Steak Chipotle.

There was a sign in the worker's station that described how to perform a "hinge cut."

Made me laugh thinking of Larrissa making hing cuts!! :lol:

[Cuilanië]

The moving company was supposed to com this morning to take stock of what I actually have to move.

The inspector's sister is giving birth, apparently with him in attendance.

I fell asleep around 5pm, and slept three hours. Now I feel kind of icky.

[Cuilanië]

I need a cup of tea, but all my roommate's big mugs are gone. I'll have to clean one of mine.

I was planning on steak, stirfried onion and mushrooms, and carrots, but now I don't know.

I might just go for takeout.

[namelessgirl]

Damn, time for work already.

Rent is due. Double damn.

If I had a dollar for every minute I wasted on the internet....

100 hours (it's usually more than that, but for the sake of argument...)* 60 minutes... 6000 dollars a month? I could live real good on that kind of money. Okay, so not nearly all of it is "wasted", in my eyes...

Still need a cup of tea. I'm turning grumpy.

I'm avoiding doing the dishes...

[hammerquill]

I'm online at work because I've just completed the additions to the wallpiece page (http://www.davidmbowman.com/dmb/wallpieces/singlepage/wp0332.htm) discussing/showing off the use of our wallpiece in the movie The Punisher.

'Course, that's not the only thing I'm doing while online. :ph34r:

I'd probably better get back to real work now.

[Cuilanië]

I forgot to go to the grocery store. >.<

Think I'll go get that takeout, now.

Later! :wave:

[siafu]

i wish i had my toothbrush with me

my volunteer supervisor is nowhere to be seen. it's not too interesting here w/o her.

i miss my friend w. ted.

[nymphette]

the day hammerquill mentioned renting the punisher to see his wall piece i was going to tell chris to pick it up- he calls me before he leaves work every few days to see if i want him to rent a movie... he didn't call that day... :(

but he brought home 3 movies to watch anyhow... one of which he said he rented for him and julian to watch... (like i let julian watch that!!!) it was the punisher.... :P

i told him 'hey, i was going to tell you to rent that!" and he said 'i didn't think YOU would want to watch it...." <_< and i said 'well, i dont' particularily... but i wanna see reed's piece in it!!!!!' :D

i picked it out too... aren't i clever??? :lol:

[nymphette]

also saw harrison's dietician today to see if we qualify for the co-pay for his formula....

nope

because he isn't 80%+ on the formula, we dont' qualify... which means for ONE CAN a day for a month we have to pay $175 or so....

which is NOT happeneing.... i spend about $200 of our budget on groceries for 3 of us a MONTH.... so i guess he is 100% OFF the night feeds... he'll get used to being without food at night eventually... until then, i'll be up with him fussing from about 1 am on.... :'( it better pass within a week!!! maybe he'll 'snack' late night if he's that hungry... i can always hope....

<sigh> i still shake my head at the price of that crap.... not like it's real FOOD either, it's elemental formula.... which is why it costs, i know, but... i'd rather have him on REAL food anyhow!!!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i'm sick and i hate it. i keep pretending i'm not...if my head wasn't pounding, pretending would be much easier...

we can't hook up the DSL until the 6th. it's just sitting there looking all new and sexy...I WANT IT! oh well...i can deal with a few more days of AOL crap...better than nothing i suppose

i'm waiting for the landlady to stop by and collect rent :P this is stressful for some reason. i hope she doesn't want to make small talk, or to take the grand tour...

[chunkymonkey]

I loathe small talk.

grocery shopping calms me.

I wish I had some happy juice.

[siafu]

am i a dork for wanting to go see green day?

somethin

i made a list of things i am going to do with my money. do you want to see it?

[Lilac]

My house needs cleaned badly.

If I'm really, really good, do you think Santa will bring me a housekeeper for Christmas?

Naw...I didnt think so, either.

Damn. I'll have to do it myself.

[oreogrl1]

:hugs: skilyne

My gram had a stroke today while I was watching her...
It was a little bit scary, thankfully I kept my cool, and got her some help.
I don't think I'm going to be sitting with any older people for a while.

[tanagee]

I just got back from walking to the library with Megan in her wagon.

Going there was great, it was the walking back uphill 1/2 way that killed me.

I have lost around 5 pounds since we have been broke. 5 down 45 more to go.

[oreogrl1]

Way to go tana!
I was thinking about getting up early to run in the mornings.
When I realized that I would have to get up at about 4am All of those thoughts left my mind.

[Cuilanië]

I'm wondering about bluecrayon, wondering how she's doing and if she's okay...

Well, my understanding of it is you've been real bad, you go straight to hell. Purgatory is for ordinary people who atone for their more-or-less ordinary sins before they can go to heaven.

But I don't think I've ever believed in hell, let alone that purgatory silliness. Guess that makes me a heretic on top of being agnostic. ;)

[Cuilanië]

When I was a kid, my mother bought me this B&W illustrated book on the ten commandments and the seven major sins. I found it ridiculous in the extreme, especially the description of hell. For that matter, the classic description of heaven never suited me either...

That was more than three facts, but I felt that this post should not be taken up entirely by my views on religion, the RC denomination in particular.

I hate it when I fall asleep during the afternoon - I can't get to sleep at night afterwards.

(typo)

[Jesus the Almighty]

Tired today, need more coffee.

Anyone else keeping an eye on that volcano, or is it just me??

Really need a few more hours in the day, I can't ever get caught up on my magazine subscriptions!!

[Cuilanië]

I see Jesus the Almightly in here.

Wouldn't it just figure that JC would show up just after those posts?

:lol:

[Larrissa]

the lord, finally! :lol: im been praying sooo long.

why cant i condense my super exciting day into three random facts?

im soo grouchy and delerious.

stupido email causing trouble. too bad im the one who sent it <_<

[namelessgirl]

i hate when you start talking to someone online and then two minutes later they have to go. anyone know anyone like that?? *looks upwards and rolls her eyes*

almost done with work

stupid newsletter

[Lilac]

Okay, where the heck IS everyone tonight?

Helquin must be checking out his sweatpants-wearing neighbor...Larrissa's doing hinge cuts...Gwensmom is probably sacked out on the couch, exhausted from all her cassarole making...Siafu, I'm sure, is doing something intellectual...Kamoke is lying on the floor passed out from all the paint fumes...Blue is spinning around Portland somewhere...Cuilanie and Reed are dreaming of being together...Tana is busy pinching Megan's panty-clad bottom...Oreogrl is probably doing homework...Christine is writing a poem...

And me...I'm sitting here at the computer...doing not much of anything at all.

[Skilyne]

And me...I'm laying here in a sad sick state. I'm SO MAD!!! My doctor called and said he thinks I have more than the fever...so he has me come in for a test. YUP...turns out I have MONO!

I'm PISSED! How am I supposed to go on with my everyday stuff..work mostly...if I feel like this?

And he said just to take time off. Ummm...yeah...sure. That'll work. :yell: I can't just take off 4-6 weeks!!! But I certainly can't go in like this...I can hardly move.

[Skilyne]

What am I going to do? I'm sure this is not the catastrophe that it seems to be, but I am telling you...right now, it seems SO BAD!

I just don't know what I am going to do about work.

And him.

And feeling like this.

Oh...feeling this way SUCKS! It seriously takes me like 30 minutes to motivate up enough energy to roll over.

[Lilac]

Oh no! Skilyne! Mono sucks supreme!!! You poor dear! I had mono my sophomore year of high school and was bummed out because I was supposed to be a leper in the community theater production of Jesus Christ Superstar...and I missed the whole thing.

My advice...just get lots of rest and try not to stress to much over it. I know that's easier said than done, but trust me, stressing will only make it worse.

By the way, who were ya kissing? :P :lol:

[Lilac]

If I can do anything at all, Erica...let me know.

I'm only two hours away.

LOL...who do you think? :ph34r: :lol:

Of course, it could have been several people, because I share drinks, utensils, and food with a lot of the guys at work...and all it takes is a little saliva.

I'll try not to stress too much, but that is not going to be easy. I tend to stress easily.

1. ...FROST ADVISORY IN EFFECT TONIGHT...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN TAUNTON MA HAS ISSUED A FROST
ADVISORY.

WIDESPREAD FROST IS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING
ACROSS THE REGION. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE LOW TO
MID 30S BY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY. LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES WILL MAKE
THE ENVIRONMENT RIPE FOR WIDESPREAD FROST.

THOSE WHO STILL HAVE TENDER VEGETATION OUTSIDE SHOULD PREPARE TO
COVER COLD SENSITIVE PLANTS...OR BRING THEM INSIDE.

2. SYDNEY (Reuters) - A vibrating sex toy in a rubbish bin sparked a security scare and shut a regional Australian airport for almost an hour, officials said on Monday.

3. BUCHAREST (Reuters) - A elderly Romanian man mistook his penis for a chicken's neck, cut it off and his dog rushed up and ate it, the state Rompres news agency said Monday.

It said 67 year-old Constantin Mocanu, from a village near the southeastern town of Galati, rushed out into his yard in his underwear to kill a noisy chicken keeping him awake at night.

"I confused it with the chicken's neck," Mocanu, who was admitted to the emergency hospital in Galati, was quoted as saying. "I cut it ... and the dog rushed and ate it."

Doctors said the man, who was brought in by an ambulance bleeding heavily, was now out of danger.

[oreogrl1]

A chicken's neck? :rofl:
Skilyne, me and Lilac are gonna hop in the car and come see ya...
I'll make some chicken soup or something.

Please don't make it with a chicken neck! :o

Skilyne I am so sorry you have mono. :( Now we know why you have been feeling so bad. But never fear- we will send you mail to entertain you while you are recovering!

Gwensdad's snoring woke me up at 3-something this morning and the power was out all over the neighborhood. So we had to get up and call the power company and get flashlights for the babysitter, etc. It came back on right after 4.

I am not feeling much better because I have not rested since I got sick. But I am going to the doctor later today to get fixed. After that I am going to be totally useless until it's time to get Gwen.

[Larrissa]

damned hinge cuts .... <_<

i wish you folks would stay out of subway :lol:

First day back to school since the hurricane. Oh school, how I loathe thee, let me count the ways....

Must remember to pay rent between classes today. doh.

Is it rude to knit during lecture??

[tanagee]

I had Mono the summer before my junior year, and was in bed 3 weeks.

Towards the end of the second week I was so sick they were gonna put me in the hospital, they gave me 2 Gamma-Globulin shots first and I got better pretty quickly.

The Gamma-Globulin shot is this thick syrupy stuff that takes forever to inject and is super painful, but in hindsight it was worth it.

Bonus fact 1: I got it from my best friend who had been a ball of strep-throat for the few weeks before I got sick. We shared a coke.

Bonus fact 2: my boyfriend at the time, who was insanely jealous and thought I had kissed someone else thus got Mono, cheated on me while I was on my death bed. I didn't find out for YEARS later, long after we had broken up (because he was embarrassed to be seen with me at school).

At this time I was laying on the couch "watching" Monday Night Football and trying to steathly fall asleep on the couch and let the hubby deal with the terror known as No Nap Megan.

I went to bed at around 9 after FINALLY getting Megan into bed and started to read thinking it would make me fall asleep.

11:45 Still was reading...but gave up and turned put the light.

[Cuilanië]

Hugs, Erica. Mono sucks. :hug: :( :hug:

I got it in my second year of college, and had to drop out... was sleeping 16-20 hours a day, couldn't concentrate on exams, &c. That was in late October. I didn't get well until May, and only went back to school the next September. It was a rather mild case, but it dragged on forever...

My dorm neighbour got a more severe case, but she was over it much faster than me.

[Christine_0701]

lol Eve, i love the &c....maybe it's my knowledge of french, or maybe it's the lack of sleep...:P

i woke up an hour early today b/c my back hurt so bad

i had some veeery odd dreams :blink: :huh:

[Cuilanië]

Weirdly slow day, today. I went out of the apartment twice. Go me.

Five weeks, six days. My family are probably going to call me crazy for going on a trip only a month after I get to Montréal, with my stuff probably not even arrived yet. It's not that I don't care, it's just that not going wasn't an option...

My roommate didn't show up yesterday to pick up the rest of his stuff. This annoys me a lot, especially since I was sort of counting on having the space to stage my own move... and he didn't even call to warn me. Gr.

Actually, I picked up the habit of typing it like that from Reed. :) I like it.

If my roommate doesn't move enough stuff for me to store my luggage and the big suitcase in his room, I'm going to be very ticked off.

Listening to Beethoven's Third again. It is, without a doubt, my favourite. ^_^

i'm going out and about for a little while this afternoon i think... it's sunny, but chilly. stupid short canadian summers.

yes i know it's officially fall, but it should still be nice, darn it.

[Lilac]

Not much to say today...Trish is standing behind me again, nervously tapping her foot because she's anxious to get going to lunch...

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm....where oh were shall we go, I wonder?

No fast food for me becuse my pants are feeling a little tight...

So, um....probably Applebees or something because I'm in the mood for their oriental chicken salad (which I'm sure is just as fattening as most fast foods, but I convince myself that it's not)

Oooo...maybe middle eastern!

Trish says no.

Trish says get my ass moving.

Trish has a potty mouth.

Everyone left me again. :(

[hammerquill]

"&c." is the right way of spelling "etc." The ampersand, in all its forms, is based on the letters "et" - the Latin (and, of course, French) word for "and" - and the first word of "et cetera."

Correct classical typography dictates that "&" may be used for any instance of "and," at the discretion of the typesetter, for better text fit and spacing and flow of the typographic line.

I wish we had typographically available to us more of the older abbreviation characters invented by medieval scribes with their tired fingers...

He was supposed to be done by Sunday evening. He got started Sunday evening. He was supposed to come by yesterday evening to pick up most of the rest of his stuff, allowing me to at least fold back his bed. He didn't even call to say he wasn't. What is it with the guys in this family?? They couldn't consider someone else's point of view if their life depended on it...

My doctor told me I need to go on three different supplements to counteract joint degeneration caused by handling Gwen.

I wonder how in the hell I am supposed to pay for it all. Plus, I hate taking pills.

productive today will equal doing a chore for my mother and sustaining existance

i wish it hadnt got so cold so damned fast

[Cuilanië]

I've done most of the dishes. Now all that's left are storage containers and pots. Sigh. My mother taught me to save those for last, to have the cleanest dishwater for things like glasses and plates, but it sure leaves the ickiest for last, too...

Now that I think of it, it need no longer apply, since I don't fill the sink with water anymore - I just use the sudsy sponge, then rinse under running water, which I turn on and off.

After this no doubt fascinating discussion of the impact of paying for one's water and having a very limited supply of hot water vs. upbringing on the dishwashing habits of the 20-something woman in 21st century North America and Europe, take a deep breath, I will say that I am fascinated by the art vs. craft discussion thread, which has for once kept a high level of argumentation.

Productive today for me is filling filing boxes and cleaning the damn kitchen.

Still waiting for a call from my roommate. If he doesn't show and doesn't call... <_< (...)

The edges of my mind are beginning to frazzle at the thought of my stuff getting packed up Thursday. Maybe I can move it to Friday. Maybe I can't. Sigh.

I just bought a digital scale on ebay. Now that I will not have to make a trip to the post office to weigh stuff before listing it, I will not be so lazy about selling on ebay.

Poor Gene! It will probably be quite a while before you can enjoy your birthday again. :( Maybe move it to another day for a few years.

I am in need of a decision re: which art supplies, and how much of them, I am packing in my luggage. The rest will go be on a boat for an undetermined length of time, so this is kind of crucial. I don't want to have to re-equip myself while I wait... :rolleyes:

i think i'm going to try to go see the decemberists on the 17th :) that should be fun!

i'm watching aqua teen :P

[hammerquill]

I got my sample ballot in the mail today.

That means it's less than a month to this election.

I sort of vaguely considered listening to the VP debate, since I might find it slightly less revolting than listening to Dubya, but I've got better things to do.

[chunkymonkey]

oh god. I'm anti bush. my above post could sound either way. Scary thought. :ph34r:

proud of my soup spreading. Guess what I had for dinner? :rolleyes: 2 bowls.

pretty decent day actually.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i'm eating a bowl right now :)

and a bagel

tee-hee

[chunkymonkey]

grab a bagel and some soup

go forth

prosper

[Christine_0701]

reed, thanks for the info on &c.....i figured that, I had just never seen it before, and for some reason i found it funny lol

i'm watching one of the best candian made tv shows

shocking that one exists

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i really wish i had tv right now :P

i don't wish that often

i um....stuff...

[Lilac]

Something's wrong with my computer. It's acting all wierd and slow...and I've suddenly started getting pop-ups!

I'm wondering if this is a virus...

I'll have to ask the computer guy at work about it. I really don't like him, though...

[Lilac]

11:30 PM and I'm doing laundry.

Cold medicine has been in my system for about a half hour now...

Grogginess and confusion are beginning to sink in....

[Christine_0701]

i'm only behind by 3000

that may seem like a lot of posts, but it's not for me :P

i like my new hair coloring :D

[oreogrl1]

I think maybe I spend too much time in front of the computer.
My eyes are hurting.
I am getting all of my About him atc returns ready for the mail.

[oreogrl1]

I am also getting my uniform ready.
Maybe Lilac will see some of my friends downtown looking all spiffy with ribbons and medals and such.
I got 2 cheeseburgers for free once because I had my dress uniform on.(couldn't eat both, shared with a homeless guy)

[Lilac]

Ooooo! Oreogrl is up late for a schoolnight!

Do your parents know you're sneaking around on the computer at 11:30 at night, huh, missy? :lol:

Don't feel so bad. My son is still awake, too. He's in bed, but he's up there singing "Video Killed the Radio Star." He thinks I cant hear him, but I can! Hee hee!

Maybe I will!

I'll have to look around!

What time will you be there?

[oreogrl1]

heh, my parents don't care unless I'm late to school(or getting up).
Or start bringing home bad grades...
or i'm on when they want to be on.

[oreogrl1]

Pretty much the crack of dawn.
6:40 or so.
I have to go downtown everyday, I could be walking by you and you don't know it :)

[Lilac]

Yeah, you could be. I usually get down there about 7:30 - 8:00.

What the heck are you doing downtown so early in the morning!

My god, girl!

[oreogrl1]

They're trying to kill me.
I have to get up at 5:30 every morning.
and catch the bus at 6:30... sometimes I feel like riding the bus to the end of the world.

[Lilac]

Ahhh...do you go to City High prep?

Or Shadyside acadamy?

Just wondering because you mentioned a uniform.

[oreogrl1]

neh, I go to Oliver High School.
I wear them Army greens, You can't have missed us.
We stand out.

[Lilac]

Oh, the ROTC kids!

Very cool!

I wish we had something like that when i was in high school!

[oreogrl1]

yep, look for KING.
It's very fun to be part of an organization as dedicated as we are.
Plus, the guys look sexy. :) (I'm of the opinion that most females look terrible)

[Lilac]

No, I think the females look pretty damn kick ass!

[oreogrl1]

powerful, yeah.
Kinda like a powersuit.
It doesn't do anything for me though... except make me have wide hips.

[oreogrl1]

time for me to go to bed.
I've got School in 5 hours and 48 min.
That sucks.

[siafu]

i'm back

but no email from either prague or the redhead

ebay :D

[Cuilanië]

The air-raid siren was tested a few minutes ago. That's my cue to check my clocks... 12 sharp, every first Wednesday of the month.

The inspector came by this morning, and he just about made my day. He told me I don't have to go to the Préfecture, that damn paper isn't all that necessary since I'm Canadian and returning home. A written declaration will do. :yay: <happy dance>

I slept very little last night, less than two hours. Right now I'm kinda hyper, but the false energy will drop tomards the end of the afternoon. But right now, I'll take advantage of it to run my errands... :wave:

[Cuilanië]

I just signed the largest check I have ever written out. Moving is damned expensive.

My skin is exceedingly dry. I don't get it, I've been drinking plenty...

The movers will come Friday, after all. Which is a relief for my procrastinating self...

[Cuilanië]

Hey... In one week, I'll be on the plane. :blink:

[oreogrl1]

I'm at school...I should add that it is 7:35 in pa.
My arms are about to fall off.
I'm carrying 2 bags today.

[kamoke]

I'm making chicken nuggets and vegetables for breakfast today

I woke up to the sound of sobbing this morning. I came out here to find my sister here, crying here eyes out. The big news flash is that men are idiots :lol: I was shocked to hear this.
She was working/drinking last night.. but she's sleeping out on the couch now

yeah, it's 9:30 here, and the day looks beautiful!

It sounds like adware or spyware. You may need to get a computer guru to help you.

Edit: If I were close I would come over and work on it for ya. (Yes I am the "geeky computer type")

[velma]

Hello all!

It got down to freezing last night. Definitely puts a crimp in my smoking habit. (I smoke outside on the deck so as not to stink up the house.)

I'm making jewelry again and building up inventory in preparation to doing the craft show circuit.

As the election grows closer, a sense of dread sinks into my heart...

[ebandit]

I feel okay today

I am proud of Velma for only smoking outside.

One of these days I want to go to Canada-these Canadians seem awfully nice.

[gwensmom]

Christine we need to see a pic of your hair color and whatever hair you have.

There are two important special needs seminars I really need to go to. But they are on two ballet nights in a row during the busiest two weeks of my year! I need to clone myself at least twice.

We all know what henpecked is, but what is is called when the husband nags the wife? Rooster-pecked? I never pester gwensdad to do stuff but he has been taking swipes at me for not keeping up with the housework even though I have been sick since Friday. <_<

[Lilac]

Nagging was one of the reasons I got divorced. Seriously. I don't do nagging well. At all.

I think I'm going to go home in a bit...my boss told me I could work on this report from home the rest of the week...so what's the sense of me staying here the rest of the day when I could working at home in sweats, no shoes and stinky dogs at my feet!?

I'm sick to death of political arguements here in the office. I can't wait till the elections are over just so I don't have to hear this anymore.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 thank you cuilanie

2 thank you ebandit

3 thank you lilac

[thunderstorm_19]

1 thank you in case i missed anybody

2 happy birthday to me!

3 my house is kinda cold...

[nymphette]

i've been sick too, gwensmom... :( nauseated and soooo tired, headachey and dizzy... and i think i have some sinus thing going on....

chris actually took yesterday morning off work to stay home with me to help... and he was <gasp!> actally a HELP!!! then i called my ssiter to see if she could come help me when she got off work- i just couldn't even think about being on my feet for hours doing supper and feeds and bed-ready stuff.... i got off the couch about four times yesterday- to pee and get tylenol and the occasional glass of gingerale... i was completely useless!!!! :'(

at least my family loves me enough to help.... :wub: i can't even begin to fathom what would have happened if i had been responsible all day for those kids!!! :unsure:

i had to clean up a mess in the bedroom on the rug- harrison's pump set came apart while he was getting his 3 o'clock feed....... i was down on the floor for about 2minutes trying to clean (homemade, with green beans in it... :wacko: ) formula off the rug and i realized if i was down there any longer, i'd still be there when chris got home..... of course it had to happen while i was sick....

[nymphette]

on a lighter note- harrison ate an entire 'fruit-to-go' yesterday in a sitting, and was nibbling on bread and buns all day!!! he has also been taking a lot more water by mouth since i started giving it to him in a bottle instead of a sippy cup- which he thinks is a water fight toy.... :P

today we try soy milk in the bottle.... it would be nice if i could get him taking enough food by mouth that he didn't have to be tube fed, at least PART of the day!!!

i estimate he took about 100 calories by mouth yesterday!!!! :yay:

[gwensmom]

YAY HARRISON! :thewave: I just know he will be able to get off those tube feedings.

And yay for Chris for actually helping! It took Gwensdad a while but now he is pretty well trained.

Robyn where is that sister of yours? Has she started her new job? BTW I got your letter and it made me very glad you are home.

[thunderstorm_19]

yay harrison!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cats are taking turns meowing.

i think i might be crafty today.

[thunderstorm_19]

can you believe i'm actually thinking about Christmas cards already?!

i need food, all i've had so far today is my coffee.

i love birthday cards.

[Cuilanië]

I'm sorry that both Sarah and Robyn are sick, the last two people on Earth who need this kind of thing!! :(

I haven't dyed my hair in nearly two years now.

I look a bit psycho on my new passport.

[Cuilanië]

A two-year-old fell in love with me on the métro today, because we both had itchy noses. ;)

I saw an old lady at my chiro's office, all smiles and repartee when people are around, looking very worn and sad when she thought no one was watching... I want to write up her description before I forget.

Coffee with a chocolate éclair, oh my yes.

[Lilac]

mmmm...chocolate eclair.... (in a homer simpson voice)

i might have to stop at the donut shop on my way home

craving....

[Christine_0701]

yeay harrison!!!

happy birthday allison!!

and nope, christmas cards now are not weird at all...I've already boughten 95% of all my christmas presents!! :o

[Christine_0701]

I will post a picture (or pictures) sometime this weekend

Debbie has a web cam and I'm going home for thanksgiving, so that'll do the trick.

We're leaving on the ovrenight bus tomorrow!! yeay!!!

[Lilac]

Ack! I don't want to think about Christmas yet!

My son is getting an electric guitar for Christmas

Ooooh...my head...just thinking about it

[Cuilanië]

Productive day so far...

Steak and sautéed mushrooms for dinner tonight.

Well, back to work on those suitcases...

[siafu]

bus here

good seeing you

finally stupid bus

bye

[Cuilanië]

Bye, T - have a good day!

The movers are coming here Saturday afternoon, finally. I just got a call. I'm going to have to rethink my whole weekend... but I'm kinda relieved, too.

The flowers drank up their water much faster than I expected.

[Larrissa]

christmas- no no no. i dont appreciate the scheduled celebrations. <_<

im makin packages. i may need to stay away from cheap huge bottles of glitter in the future, as im not sure using it for this is good. :devilish:

you know its bad when you pick a pinch of it off the bed and sprinkle it in the cats fur, after making sure its non toxic ... :lol:

[siafu]

sometimes the bus outrages me so much

i just keep it on the down low though

it's better than being bedridden, it is supposed

[Larrissa]

theres pages of this to be read, i will later.

boss said if i happen to return within a month, i can have my job back at higher pay.

i left her with five loaves of white bread last night, it should have been closer to 16.

[Larrissa]

seefee! good morning! :wub:

im going back to bed guys, see you later!

^_^

[siafu]

I LOVE THE BAND CAKE

I LIKE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICHES

I AM WEARING MY WEDDING RING ON MY INDEX FINGER!

[Skilyne]

*sigh* Just woke up not too long ago. This is getting to me. As if I didn't already struggle with depression...now let's toss yet another problem into the mix! <_<

Hugs to everyone who needs them!!! :hug:

It's nice having my brother home, but also such a big change! I don't know if I'm used to hearing his voice yet.

I miss the guys at work. :( A lot.

[Skilyne]

My feelings as of this moment:

:(

:'(

<_<

[Cuilanië]

Aw, Erica - that's mono speaking. The symptoms are very close to those of depression, except that you catch every bug that passes by, as well... :hug:

I hope Theresa feels better soon...

I need to sleep. But first, I need to move the suitcases in my roommate's room, and cook myself some dinner.

[Cuilanië]

Luckily, dinner won't take long.

I feel I ought to have something green with it, but I don't have anything of the sort atm.

My ex has a way of getting on my nerves that worries me. His way is NOT the only way. Rrgh.

[Cuilanië]

I can't find the information I'm looking for online. Damn French administration and their incomplete websites.

Taxes are going to be complicated this year. Argh - makes me feel sick in advance.

The ex wants to 'take care of everything' for me, re: French taxes. I prefer taking care of my own stuff, and he doesn't understand why his attitude is a problem.

[kamoke]

I just got off the phone! I'm accepted! :yay: B) :lol: ^_^ :D

[siafu]

wow kamoke. congrats! :rock:

yeah, i'm ok now. thanks for the good wishes. :wave:

i hate being treated as if i were only cargo, that's all. :drool:

[Lilac]

CONGRATULATIONS KAMOKE!

:thewave:

:rock:

:yay:

[Skilyne]

CONGRATS KAMOKE!!!

Thanks for the hugs Eve...I'll try to keep in mind that mono can feel like depression too...and try not to be too hard on myself or get too upset about things. Thing that bugs me is I already struggle with depression, so it is like having it doubletime now. UGH.

On a better note, I went and sat outside for a bit today...it is chilly but so nice and sunny out. It was a good change from my bed.

[kamoke]

:) Thanks folks!!

I think she said I should be leaving by late next week

Maria (from the photolab) is so sweet! she got me a card and signed it "the german lady"
such a nice, nice woman

[Cuilanië]

Great news, kamoke, congratulations! :)

If you ever come to Paris, kamoke, you have to do this: take the métro on line 12 to Marcadet-Poissonniers station. Once outside, walk East on rue Ordener, on the North sidewalk. There's a long wall of spray-paint art and tags... then you come to the Gare du Nord train tracks, which you then cross into my neighbourhood, and looking down you can see more of these painted walls... Wander around the neighbourhood, too, there are some surprising murals to be found. :)

My eyes are burning. Lack of sleep. Oi.

[Larrissa]

sara seems to be lurking .... <_<

i slept too long

"theres nothing else to do ... "

oh and WHOO to brownely, congratulations! :D

[gwensmom]

Congratulations Kamoke! Tell us more about what you will be doing. Inquiring minds want to know.

I can't make rice krispie treats because I don't have enough butter. I'm also out of bread.

My friend who was trying to have a baby by IVF found out that it didn't work and she is not pregnant. :(

I could never be vegan because I love cheese.

[Larrissa]

i sent random mail goodness to someone whom i had only heard of from a zine flyer

today i got her zine ^_^ and a thank you note

we need to tell the world the joy of mail

[Cuilanië]

I have a living room (of sorts) again!! :yay:

Ohhh, my bed is calling me. -_-

Good night, folks.

[nymphette]

i'm such a bad sister- jodi (indigo) updates for me while i am computerless and out of the loop in edmonton, but i dont' say a word about ehr... bad sister!!!!

jodi got a new job- she started a week ago- and cannot access n'ness from her computer at work anymore... :( we think it is the same reason- "NUDITY"- the site was blocked at the hospital!!! wah!!!

she'll be on when she's at my mom's or here.... i didn't give her a chanc eto here lat night, i ran her ragged watching my brats while i laid on the couch all incapacitated-like.... ;)

[chunkymonkey]

why can't think of 3 measly facts?
where's blue?
why is it only 6 o'clock?

rock on kamoke!!

[nymphette]

ran myself ragged today- guilt ridden from being sick for a day i tried to make up for it today....

i made a dozen homemade buns, washed every single dish in the kitchen, made the toy room into one huge tent for julian because he wanted to play 'camping', cooked up and pureed veggies for harrison's formulas, washed all the bedding in the house.....

now i need a nap.... <_< and the kids are on their way up from theirs.... sigh....

[chunkymonkey]

finally... dusk.

I want to go crawl in my car and talk to you on my cell.

you're not there.

[Sirius]

It is Wednesday.

It is 4:02pm.

It is October 6, 2004.


Not very random.

[thunderstorm_19]

i hate fighting with family

especially on birthdays

where's my dinner...

I couldn't get on here when I went to the business center of a hotel we were at because there is a chat feature attached to the site. :wacko:

We are having some friends over tonight for "rehearsal" they are in a little band with my hubby.

They got rid of their mircowave because it supposedly does bad things to your food, even though I don't use it all the time, I can't live without my mircowave.

***I was gonna edit the correct spelling of MICROwave, but mircowave sounds funny :)

[Skilyne]

I'm feeling a bit better...albeit still tired and depressed.

I am going to try going to work for a bit tommorow...maybe 4-5 hours.

I know...I know. Probably not a good idea. But I can't stand feeling like I'm not doing my job and knowing that things are needing to be done. I'm too hard on myself. :P

[Lilac]

Something weird has been going on today. It's like I have something wrong with me. Everywhere I've gone, people have been staring, openly staring, as if I were walking around naked or had something stuck in my teeth. And smiling, little amused, secret smiles. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid. I dunno. :blink:

My son and I had dinner at Subway, and the guy behind the counter was so busy staring at me that he screwed up the order and then gave me change for a twenty when I had paid him with a ten. Of course, I pointed out his error and gave back the money.

I went to the grocery store and when I got home, there was two pounds of deli turkey breast that I didnt buy in one of my bags . It must have been put there from the previous shopper's order. That I'm keeping.

[Skilyne]

That's weird Lilac. I hate when things like that happen to me...people staring and stuff. Hmmm...

I need to shower so badly. It's been 2 days...I feel gross...personally.

I'm not doing it tonight. I'm too tired.

[namelessgirl]

almost done with work

newsletter still not done, but it's not my fault

yet the blame will be on me, oh yay!

[Lilac]

Sometimes being a single parent sucks ass. Like when everything is going wrong and there's a million things to do and nobody to help.

At times like these, I almost feel as if I'm having a panic attack...or what I think a panic attack would feel like. I don't know that I've ever really had one. I just get real nrevous and shaky....my hearts beats uncontrollably and I have a hard time breathing. That pretty much sounds like a panic attack, huh?


My son can be such a handful at times. And that's putting it lightly.

[Lilac]

But then, you know...i think about Gewnsmom and Nymphette, and I feel like such a wuss for complaining at all.

You two women are my heros.

I can't even imagine the strength and determination these wonderful ladies muster in their everyday life.

[Helquin]

TV sucks

Hats off to heroic women everywhere

Congratulations to Kamoke, although I must admit I kinda lost track of just what it is you won :huh:

Oh how cool! This Katimavik thing really does sound like the experience of a lifetime! :lol:

My work has been crap for the last 2 or 3 days. I'm very unhappy about the whole situation.

But the good news is: I just saved a bundle on car insurance.

Really.

[oreogrl1]

I need a back rub.
Today is one of those days that I could have come home at 5:30 and went directly to sleep.
And stay asleep untill 5:30 tomorrow morning.

[velma]

I've been a total pig today: 3 apple cider doughnuts, part of a popcorn ball, full breakfast & supper, a pile of shrimp chips...and some kettle corn. bwah!

It's after 2 a.m. and I'm still awake.

Went to sleep at half-past midnight. Got up at 8:30. This is unnatural. :wacko:

It's COLD in here. Jeez, this is Paris, not Montréal already!! :rolleyes:

I need to figure out my schedule...

[oreogrl1]

Cuilanië I would kill for that much sleep.
I went to bed at 1 or so and got up this morning at 5:20.
Hey, I have a volleyball game today wish me luck!

good luck mia, though I'm sure you're at school already.. ;)

[kamoke]

It's sunny today, so I think I'll be skipping that whole school thing, like there's a point of going anyway :rolleyes:

I have to pick up film today, I can't forget that.

have to send this mail out as well

[Larrissa]

ummmmmmmmmmmm

yeeeeahh

im not a stable person you know?

:lol:

[gwensmom]

I have to rest or I will never get well.

So I am taking the morning off. I stayed in bed instead of exercising. I am puttering around doing nervous things and later I will watch Crafters Coast to Coast. After that, a nap.

I need my strength because I may have to take Gwen to the doctor this afternoon.

[Larrissa]

and the thought of meeting person one: sara and person two: mister Z makes me incredibly nervous. :blink:

i dont work today

[ :ph34r: ] this guy knows all about it but i dont think hes telling ...

[gwensmom]

LaRRissa thinks she is being anonymous :ph34r: but I know she is here.

Chocolate cake sounds good about now.

But I don't have any so cereal will have to do.

[kamoke]

yikes, they wanted me to leave sunday..

I've got to get my things ready

and make brownies for the nice teachers :wub:

yes, total loser, right here, look at me! :lol:

[Larrissa]

its sort of useless to be anonymous when i post so damned much :lol:

i just stuck my tongue out. at the monitor. no one saw.

the apples when they fall are lOUD

[Death_Or_Aldona]

we didn't have electricity all day and night yesterday

utilities are included in our rent....the landlady forgot to pay the bill

i was furious...now i'm only slightly upset :P

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i have DSL now! :)

i had it yesterday too....not that i could use it...

i'm trying to avoid doing the dishes

[chunkymonkey]

oh dear, no electric. spooky.

brownies... yummy.

Not entirely awake yet. (we need a yawning smilie)

[namelessgirl]

school is killing me.

i have to pee but i think it's rude to leave.

probably ruder to pee in my chair though.

[kamoke]

think ofthe laughs you'd get though, just think! You could be a class clown

I really don't have three facts, just the need to respond, and to hit the little reply button

so yeah, no electricity eh.. I think it's exciting having no lights

alright, im outta here!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

there's something wonderful about yahoo messenger right now

having no electric was fun for a little while...until it got really dark. all of our candles and everything is still packed away in boxes :P

i really need to get some unpacking done today :P

[ebandit]

Wow Kamoke!!! Congrats. I am so happy that you got in. I am even Happier that you will be doing such cool stuff. Prepare to be a changed man. (Yes You will be even BETTER)

We will MISS Kamoke while he is gone

Huggs to Skilyne -lots of artistic folks suffer with depression...just don't give in to it. WE LOVE YOU.

[Larrissa]

im missing siafu and kittymao.

oh yes. i remember i had a PURPOSE for signing on this time

i should really start packing quite soon

[Lilac]

I have to take my Grandmother to her doctor's appointment later today. I love her, but am certainly NOT looking forward to this task. Maybe I shouldnt have told the family that I was working from home this week. Someone else would have taken her.

I wonder how many times she'll tell me that I'm "damned to Hell" during this little outing.

I say at least three.

[picasso]

we smoke out when our electricity goes out.

though we smoke out with our electricity on as well.

it's been awhile since i've had big league chew.

[Larrissa]

you know what? i think im going to smoke out the day. because i feel like it. thansk for the inspiration picasso! i plan on finishing up those postcards today too ;) the thing im finding about jams is sometimes the result is good, sometimes simple, sometimes it ends up bad and takes alot of work to fix.

jams is not james.

in the future i shall avoid those with this name ... im hoping this one will turn out well :lol:

[Lilac]

Ah well...it's time to go get Grandma.

Deep breath in....

Deep breath out....

[Larrissa]

JIHAD.

oh sorry.

ignore me mister ashcroft.

[Larrissa]

:wub: im gonna try to spend my day off from work more productively. bye bye!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

telemarketer on the phone

i hung up on them

hahahaha...i used to be one of those callers :P

[chunkymonkey]

stop teasing me.

:rock: I'm like a kid in a candy store.

I have a slight obsession with taking my temp.

[Larrissa]

i went to check an address and am stillllllllll heeeeeeeeeeeere

depart! <--NTS.

hahahaha today is going well. im thankful for this.

[kittymao]

did I catch that right? Did someone miss me?! WOW. thanks.

I almost got hit by a car on the way home. As long as I've been riding my bike, I've always followed pedestrian rules- it keeps me safer. Besides, that dork didn't have his blinker on.

And the best part- I didn't flinch and stared straight at him, and he has to start screaming. I think I scared HIM.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i just caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror

i'm wearing the most odd assortment of clothing...

i accidently ate a piece of an onion yesterday. it made me throw up. :huh:

[kittymao]

i just took a look of all the profile pictures of those here ATM, and honestly, It's a weird lot of pictures. But good- I don't think if we met in the street, I'd hate any of you.

yea.

der. I should like... eat something.

[Larrissa]

i had this thought while falling asleep last night that we could all move to lilacs place and have an art commune

the body is a strange contraption

the mind is even stranger.

[Larrissa]

foood

chores

lazy lazy day.

[kamoke]

It's tuesday! holy smokes..

I agree,Lilacs place would be awesome.. well, from the sounds of it

there are a lot of people in town this weekend. Well, thanksgiving, and theres this YC thing, it's a huge religious thing with rock music and praying and all that excellent stuff. It was here three years ago so we got drunk and harrassed all the people, but they were so nice

Heck yeah! It's not much to look at but with all you artistic people, we'd probably have it beautified (or at least unique-afied) in no time!



I'm already back from Gram's eye appointment. She was actually kind of cute and made me chuckle a couple times. She didnt shreik or damn me to hell once.

She was like a little girl, which is kind of sad, but a good thing in another way. It's better than being her usual bible thumping self.

[Larrissa]

love love

going now

you all be good!

[Skilyne]

I went to work for 4 hours today. Fell asleep on my workbench. Came home. Fell back asleep. Just woke up. Maybe I wasn't ready for work yet. :P

I suspect I knew that already, but I tried anyways.

I am so tired...I think back to sleep again.

[Skilyne]

I laughed when I saw Helquin's new avatar! :)

I've got to go get something to eat...but I don't know what I want.

My Mom is such a sweetie. I went to work, came home, and she had re-made my bed with fresh sheets and tucked it all back up again. :)

[ebandit]

Helquin DOES have a new avatar. (yes it is funny) And I am wondering if it is really him!

Helquin has a new "picture" in his profile also.

I liked the REAL picture better......maybe he thought I was stalking him! LOL

[Lilac]

Hmmm...I'm going to have to go check out Helquin's new avatar...

And I'm going to have to make up some burger patties because I think I'm going to serve burgers and veggie kabobs to my sister tonight. Can't go wrong with that.

Tootle-loo!

[ebandit]

I hate that Skilyne is still feeling so bad.

Say Hi to Josh for us.

Funny how we get so involved with familes of people we only know from here.

[Curlita]

I'm very tired, and miss you all, but have not had much time to be online. Being a mommy/mobile milk bar is hard work - especially when recovering from a c-section.

Wish I had time to reread all the posts and find out what is new with everyone here. :(

Here's the new man in my life:

Dylan Leon
born September 27, 1:17 AM

[gwensmom]

Being a mommy/mobile milk bar is hard work - especially when recovering from a c-section.No kidding- I did that too. It is hard but that little guy is worth it. He is adorable!


I took a 2-hour nap this morning and feel WAY better. I may not have to run away from home after all.

All the lmaos I signed up for this summer are arriving at once! Better get cracking.

I need some supplies for these projects so I finally have a legitimate reason to go to a craft store!

[Larrissa]

babies are beautiful

so are you

imi busy, so busy, you wouldnt believe. i swept the garage.

[siafu]

mount saint helens is going to blow. dammit.

they keep trying to sell ranch raised buffalo on the radio. wtf.

thirsty.

[namelessgirl]

She thinks I'm a snob!!! holy flying untruths batman.

"learning is for pussies."

bumpersticker politics are stupid.

I don't know whether to cheer for the lack of religion-craziness, or commiserate for the sadness of seeing a loved one grow old...

Again? I remember the last time, in the 80's right? ... Really brings home the realisation that the whole West Coast is a geologically active area...

[Cuilanië]

It'll take more than that to stop me moving there, though.

I messed up my dinner, and am engaged in a salvage operation...

Yeah. It's 11:30pm, and I still haven't had dinner. Sigh.

[Helquin]

Oh wow -- congrats Curlita! "Dylan" is one of my favorite names, too :)

:lol: Yeah, that's really me in the red hat. I don't know how long I'll leave that one up... it's from another life, about 7 years ago.

Nah, I wasn't worried about stalking, Gene. :D

Thanks ebandit! He says hi to everyone back. And you are right...how we get so involved with people here.

Curlita...such a cute litte guy!!! :) I love babies...

And I love the name...

[kamoke]

I'm diggin' that hat B)

and that baby is cute beyond cute! what a lucky momma

and I just lifted a kid to the cealing about 30 times, so I would surely make a bad momma :rolleyes:

[siafu]

awww. i only got to see it once. helquin, please may i have the other avatar back?

tomorrow is friday!

bryan adams is wearing on me.

[Skilyne]

I changed my profile picture. Maybe I'll change it again later.

I still need to change my avatar, but I don't know what to change it to.

Oh well.

[Cuilanië]

I'm seeing myself as 'offline'. Weird...

My skin is itchy, itchy, itchy and dry...

I got a pile of dishes to do. Bother.

[Skilyne]

I'm sweaty. I don't know why. Eh...better than being cold.

I've been awake for awhile now! WOW! :P

I was glad to see him today.

[Larrissa]

okay okay jennyfactory kicks ass. this cd rocks :yay: i take back all the bad things i ever said about her.

it was neat i was making my mix and then the mailman shows up with hers

first sneaky cd recieved, oh hell yeah. i love you monkey.

[Larrissa]

i have recently sat on the couch and smoked a joint with my boss.

which means i wont be saying much

^_^ yeah. its time to make art.

[rockermom]

i am alone in my house, and not knocking-on-death's-door sick.

this has not happened since i don't know when.

i think i'll vaccum naked to spice girls music.

Hmm... I didn't change it. You should be seeing Helquin in a red hat right over
<----- there. I also put back the silly smiley pic in my profile. :rolleyes:

I am way amped for the 2nd presidential debate tomorrow night.

Woohoo!

omg. Spice Girls. :lol:

[Lilac]

Oh Curlita, little Dylan is absolutely precious! I want to reach in my computer and touch his little hand! I love baby's hands...especially when they grasp onto your finger. Oh my. Beautiful, beautiful child!

..

I can't see Helquin's new avatar. Just the same cute kid that's always been there.

My son is all excited because he talked to a "college girl" today (aka, Christine!)

[gwensmom]

I am sick and have been taking care of Gwen for 6 straight hours. :angry:

Gwensdad came home from work, changed clothes and left for an "appointment". :angry: :angry:

The the babysitter called and said she would be here late because the repair people were working on her sink. :angry: :angry: :angry:

It really really pisses me off that I can't even get a break when I am sick. :yell:

Hmm... I think you have to click on "Refresh" or clear your cache or something.

I can't believe I missed the first half of Survivor. It's the only show I watch any more and I can't even remember to turn the TV on.

Sorry to hear that so many people are sick. Bummer.

[nymphette]

i wish i could come and take care of gwen and sarah both!!! :( i feel guilty now because chris actually got off his ass and HELPED this time when i was sick(shocker!!! and a first!!!) and you can't catch a break.... :(

memphis is probably really nice this time of year too... it's pissing rain here... :(

we were in saskatoon for harrison's specialist's appt today... things went good there..... alas

[nymphette]

when we got home, there was a message and a phone call, basically as we walked in the door, from harrison's pediatrician....

bloodwork today showed his liver function is going up even more, even iwth the increase of his tacro and the prednisone!!! his AST was 141 today (normal is around 50, maybe a bit higher for peds...) and if his tacro level comes back normal, they will have to admit him for steroids through IV....

just in time for thanksgiving... thanks.... :(

[nymphette]

whine whine whine.... that's what i feel like doing though so i will... :P

his tacro levels have been really up and down and even with just a .25 mg increase/decrease, they are jumping 7 points sometimes.... he's been fighting this stupid rejection since mid august.... and it seems to be getting worse again...

yes, i'll shut up now...

[ebandit]

I see that Hammerquill is on.

Lilac is also...she keeps "topping me " on posts!

Glad tomorrow is friday

[Lilac]

Oh Nymphette, Oh Gwensmom! I feel so riduclous for my previous whinings!

I wish I could be there to help the both of you.

And, ummm...uh...I'm just a little bit um...youn know, chillin' man. Kid is in bed...stash was the first thing I went for. It's been a nice, but stressful day with my sister and her kids. My nephew got butted in the face by Gruff and had an uncontrollable nosebleed. The other nephew stepped in dog shit and tracked it all through the house. My poor sister was frazzled...so was I. So now I'm just reeeeeelaxing. :D

[hammerquill]

If you can't see someone's new avatar, try this (I'm assuming you have a PC): right-click on the avatar itself, and select "view image" from the drop-down menu. This works in Netscape; I think it works in IE, too, but who cares? Get Netscape... Where was I? When you're looking at just the avatar on the screen, hit the reload button, and you should see the new avatar. Then you can hit "back" and be on the forums again with the guy in the red hat, or the Larrissa of the moment, or whatever.

I remember when the California DMV was the most infuriating, unhelpful, and slow bureaucracy on Earth. Everything had to be done in person and the lines were positively Soviet. Now they're great. I just got my new driver's license by mail: got the renewal notice by mail, filled out the information and paid online, and got the license about a week later. Not bad.

I wish the Cal Alumni Association were being as efficient. <_<

Luckily, my only real deadline of the moment just got pushed back into nebulosity, so my current inability to get into the Cal libraries is less of a problem.

[kamoke]

Sunday will be a day I'm surely going to forget

and saturday too, now that I think about it.

I'd really love to be able to draw trees good. You know, life-like.

I guess I'm tired from tonight.. 7 of us were playing wallball and just bouncing balls and running around

I should make those brownies

and follow the guidlines ;)

[rockermom]

the house is no longer my own private domain!

time to turn down the vile punk rock and turn off the playstation.

time to put hooch in my cocoa.

[nymphette]

bah... i'm whining and i admit it... just been a long day and i have had enough of 'we might have to bring him back to edmonton'... do it then... let's get it over with already!!!!

i'm glad i am not sick anymore and am feelign a lot better!!! but i still wish i could help out sarah....

kick me when i whine like that lilac!!! :P life doesn't suck as much as it sounds when i am feeling sorry for myself.......

[oreogrl1]

I am unbelivably tired.
I'm going to have to spend the whole weekend in bed just to make up for sleep loss.
Yay!! today is the Oliver vs. Perry game! :thewave:

[thunderstorm_19]

1 now that i've started, i can't stop thinking about christmas cards...

2 i made some cute halloween tags yesterday

3 curlita, that baby's adorable. the 27th Sept is a friend of mine's birthday too.

[gwensmom]

:o Oh no! I am SO sorry that Harrison might have to go back to Edmonton. :(

I'm staying home from work this morning but I have to go to a luncheon at a church at 11:30. Fortunately it is only a few blocks from the house.

I guess if I have to be sick it is better to do it now than later this month when I will have a lot to do.

[nymphette]

they only run tacrolimus levels on tuesday and friday in regina here- which means harrison's bloodwork from monday/thursday sits a day (they do the other stuff, but only do the tacro 2x a week) before they get around to it.... i think i will get them to do it 'stat' (like it would actually be done 'stat'... <_< ) this week coming up becuase i can't handle waiting for the results!!! i hear that his other stuff is out of whack, but they have to wait a day to see if the tacro level is okay or needs adjusting before they can tell me what is going to happen!!!

if his tacro level is low (his target is 8-10) then they will up his dose, and wait to see what his next level is and what happens with his liver function tests then... if it is high or normal, because of the elevated AST, plus the fact that they upped his prednisone dose by 10 mg, then there's trouble because it just isn't working....

i read online somewhere last night that there was a study done in the states where they weaned liver tx recipients off thier immunosuppressants!!! which i guess, hopefully could be something they can do in the future!!! that would be awesome!!!

[kamoke]

wow.. and I thought my life was boarderline complicated. :huh:

:lol: , oops, I bought large underwear.. guess I should have checked the size!

I havethings to do, I'm outta here

take care folks! :D

I'm loving the fact that you can do almost everything but Drivers Licences at AAA.

I feel guilty having 90 degree weather when all of you are starting to get 'wintery' weather.

I was in here a little earlier and I went to go to the next page and got a 404 error that wouldn't go away so I had to reboot. Hinky things happen when I leave my computer and the DSL turned on all night.

PS I can't believe I didn't check in here ONCE yesterday!

[siafu]

last night i saw sting and annie lennox. i need a swooning smilie to say how it was. gooooood.

now, i am waiting for the bus.

sting could be a better vampire lestat than stuart townshend.

[nymphette]

so many concerts i wanna see!!! i am so jealous of you theresa that you got to see sting and annie!!!! they are coming to saskatoon (nobody ever comes to regina!! well, nobody really good anyhow!!) and i really wanna go!!! alas.....

and van halen is coming to sasktoon too!!!! with SAMMY!!!!!! :wub: wouldn't be an issue if it was david lee roth- i wouldn't wanna go then..... however and alas....

:P best concert i EVER saw was aerosmith, when they came on tour for 'pump'.... ooohhh, the energy that man has!!!! bon jovi was good- yes, i was a huge fan in the 80's, and i PROUDLY admit it.... :lol: though i was in love with richie sambora, not jon bon jovi... :)

bonus fact: skid row opened for both of those concerts... :rock:

[nymphette]

how can i forget to mention the best canadian band ever too: blue rodeo!!! i have seen them in concert about five times, between here, calgary, and free 'concerts' during the exhibitiion!!! they are so talented and wonderful!!!

barenaked ladies were rumored to have been coming here last january, but they never did....

that's pretty sad... they're too big to play here now, now that they are known in the states....
