Three random facts:

[nymphette]

what's the deal this year with kids- they don't like to trick or treat anymore??? :o

my 9 year old nephew refused to go- got dressed up and went out with his dad in the car to some neighborhood and refused to get out and trick or treat.... then came home and expected to eat the 'leftover' hand out candy... <_<

we got a total of <drumroll> SEVEN kids before we left to the city... and there were maybe four groups of kids we passed on the streets when we got in.... curious....

[nymphette]

i used to plan next year's costume when i got home from trick or treating!!! :P ;)

we have a huge halloween colorful bowl of candy in goodie bags left over.... like i need THAT hanging around the house!!!!

pah... what's the difference?? i hae such terrible heartburn lately i don't wanna eat ANYTHING!!! darn this baby!!!!

[nymphette]

harrison loved his costume and is currently sleeping in it....

he even kept the hat on for long periods of time!!!!

julian was a handsome pirate too... :) i'll post pics when i get them developed- everyone else better post here too and tell me about their fun night!!! gotta live vicariously ya know, i dont' get out myself anymore....

[nymphette]

i was happy to hear that gwen is feeling better... it's so hard to get rest yourself when your kids aren't feeling good!!

we still haven't gotten our flu shots, bad BAD BAD robyn!!!!!!!!!! shame on me....

i can't remember to do ANYTHING unless it is written down and the note is attached to my body somewhere where i will be sure to see it.... i've been meaning to call about getting in for slu shots for three weeks and still haven't done it!!! and julian is over two months overdue to see his speech therapist....

i'm a bad mommy.... :(

[nymphette]

on our way home tonight there was a freaky accident- a semi was in one ditch and a van, with the front end obliterated, in the other... there were too many emergency vehicles to count and traffic was stopped and being let through a car at a time... i have no clue what happened but i guess we'll read about it in the paper tomorrow.... and i'm glad we didn't leave to go home a half hour earlier!!!!! :o

fodder for my pregnancy induced nightmares, let me tell you....

all i dream about (or at least remember) is being in a car and being in a head on collision.... seriously, every night.... and it is NEVER ME driving and now i am completely (more than usual) paranoid about being a passenger while someone else drives....

[nymphette]

i just reread a post up there and am wondering wht a slu shot is.... if i had the energy i'd edit it... :P

i should be in bed.... i just never get to tome on here and hang out anymore!!!

i miss everyone!!!! i really gotta get some spare time to create something(s) to send out!!!

[amylyn]

i had a great day

i miss my sister

my feet are aching

[tanagee]

Took Megan trick or treating around my mom's neighborhood.

had an OK amount of kids...mostly bigger kids.

No candy left though...that's what happens when you let a 2 1/2 y.o. hand out the candy, she was giving out handfulls!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

well, i've had an hour of sleep :P

there's so much i have to do today

i'm hoping to get another hour in sometime before i really have to start my day. grrrrrr

[siafu]

hi sarahkate

H lost the outside envelope to her ballot. i feel i should curse about this. dammit. the outside envelope is the crucial one. so...she has to go to the elections office and pick up a new one. which she'd better do. dammit.

nanowrimo today, huh. i should be novelizing.

[sarahkate]

Hello Theresa! What's the word on the street? :wave:

~ We only had two groups of trick-or-treaters at our house too. I fear trick-or-treating might be a passing fad. One day I will say to my grandchildren "I remember when I was a kid we used to do this crazy thing where we would dress up in costumes, walk around the neighborhood knocking on doors and people would give us candy." My grandchildren will have fits of giggles at the mere thought of such silliness.

~ I have an urge to put on a costume now. I haven't dressed up since the last time I went trick-or-treating. I was probably in 7th grade at the time, and I was wearing a costume from two years previous - a 50's girl outfit including a snazzy poodle skirt my mom made.

~ Election day tomorrow! I'm getting a little bit nervous. I'm finding On the Issues (http://www.issues2000.org/) to be a very interesting site today. Check it out!

thanks for that site SK! I was just going to vote for the incumbant representative for my district because I didn't know anything about who was runnng but now I see he is a staunch anti-womans rights jerk.

too tired to do anything but breathe and even that's tiring.

I think mt hubby too the car with the carseat still in it so I can't go anywhere today unless I walk. :(

[Curlita]

Robyn, try ginger capsules for the heartburn. I have acid reflux, and I swear that ginger is better than the prescription meds I take to control it.

We had no tricker treaters either. We do live on a dead end street, but I thought that at least the kids from two doors down would come by. Oh well. Candy for me.

Am halfway through laundry and have bathed the baby. Next task: paying bills.

[chunkymonkey]

ivp/yelogram's suck.
it's nano time... I haven't started yet.
typical.

[thunderstorm_19]

1 we had relatively few trick or treaters too... a few REALLY adorable little ones (around 3 yrs)... and some candygrubbingteensnotmany yearsyoungerthanmewhocouldjustaseasilygetasmuchcandybybuyingthemselvesabageachandswappingbetweenthemselvestogetvariety.

2 my mum has a cold, and dad hates halloween, so it was mostly up to me. mum had helped decorate ahead of time. dad decided eventually that 'we' were done and took it upon himself to 'close down'/turning off the lights, music, candles... grrh.

3 i can't remember how long to roast pumpkin seeds, or at what temp...

~ Same here! I figured I would just vote to re-elect my district's Congressman but I read on that site that he is anti-woman's rights and has several other opinions I disagree with, and I don't like his opponent either. Guess I just won't vote for a Congressman. <_<

~ I watched THE MOST HORRIBLE MOVIE IN THE WORLD on Saturday night. It was called The Ghosts of Edendale (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301184/). The actors were horrible, the script was horrible, it just didn't make sense, there was nothing scary, the sound and special effects were cheesy. Ugh. It was just a complete waste of time.

~ On the other hand, we went to the movies on Friday night and watched "Saw," which was VERY creepy. It was one of those turn on all of the lights - check under the bed and in the closet for boogie men - when you get home movies :P

[gwensmom]

I have received an angry letter from someone I love accusing me of things I never did. <_<

As if I need this on top of everything else.*sigh*

Gwen had to go to the doctor again this morning and stay home from school. So much for my two days off.

But the good news is that the election will be overwith tomorrow and I can come back out of hiding!!!! :yay:

last time i went trick or treating i was 17 years old... :P it's my favorit e day of the year, what can i say??? :P AND, we went out twice, in different costumes each time- once i was raggedy ann and then i was lydia from beetle juice... very fun stuff!!!

next year, i better have a great babysitter because i am going out for sure!!! i haven't been 'out' on halloween for ... five years!!!

my cousin got married yesterday and had a dress-up wedding.... guests were supposed to dress up too, but they only invited the old aunties and uncles, so most just came in black suits/dresses... party poopers!!!

will do.. yech, it is so horrible at night, i totally remember THIS from past pregnancies!!! i remember the pain that everyone says you forget, but i forget the little things, like the ligament-loosening pain, the sciatica, the COUGH i get when i am pregnant, and of course, the terrible hearburn!!!!! i wonder if ginger altoids would help too??? :P

i was wondering if you got your day to yourself... :( i'm sorry your girlie is still sick!!!

we just found out that we don't get coverage for flu shots, even though harrison is in high risk (immuno suppressed AND on long term ASA therapy) and we 'have' to get the shot.... where i am going to come up with an extra 65 bucks (though i guess it could be worse!!!) for julian chris and i i have no clue.... ah well, things will work themselves out...

[Larrissa]

ello! my weekend was cool, i picked up lots of frogs, felt plenty of ANGST, hung out with cool people, the drive was 4.56 hours each way, i am now in love with atmosphere and aesop rock. thank you.

this hippieshit balm seems to work better than neosporin would on the arm burn

note to self: quit spending so much money!

[Larrissa]

mister z ... oh oh mister z. do you KNOW the ANGST you have caused me, more than once? youre a fuck. and i still find you awesomely cute.

vona said it well, about silence.

i am going to blame eating mcdonalds for this odd pain/ache in my side. ew! but it tastes so good.

[Larrissa]

we went to an estate sale, and i got two huge bags of awesomeness for 10 bucks, including this grAY FAKE FUR I PLAN ON USING FOR PURSES.

stupid cap locks. this keyboard has an issue with me and hitting it accidently

i need a nap, nap nap. and explanation. i think im gonna hold my stance of silence for a few days. let him be. and let me be. GRR.

[ebandit]

Glad to know bluecrayon got my postcard. :)

Work is boring today.

I had no trick-or-treaters --but then it was very dark when I got home that nite.

[namelessgirl]

Work is dumb. I cannot say that enough. I don't wanna go. Waahhhh.


I would much rather stay home and knit and stew about the election.


Too much bad food this weekend and my tummy hurts.

[Zhenechka]

1. I cannot fit through my carrel window.

2. I wasted four bucks to travel to and from campus for a pedagogy workshop that was cancelled ten minutes before it started.

3. My dissertation topic is boring.

[Larrissa]

im going to get up, cook some food, drink some caffienated liquid, and work on something. either sewing, cleaning, altered booking, or knitting.

im trying to forget repeatedly about the election because it stresses me out

i hope i was demanding enough of explanation ... :huh: probably not. damn me!

[velma]

i'm running on empty today

i hate this time of year

the squirrel won't even talk to me

[Larrissa]

okay okay, my shoulders hurt. that was a long ass drive and i dont need to be sitting here. wasting time half, and waiting for that response half.

if i dont get one, its aaaaaaaaall over.

im finding lots of contradictions in myself.

[Curlita]

Ginger anything helps heartburn - candied ginger is good too. So is elevating the head of your bed.

I hate the sound of my dog licking his ass incessantly.

I also hate paying bills, but I need to do that now.

[chunkymonkey]

I hate the sound of my dog licking his ass incessantly.

:rofl:


This place makes me smile.
There was a hippo in my mailbox today.
I've been there and I have no sound advice.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i just created a new lmao :P

i'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of the landlady so i can give her rent money

she's always late...drives me nuts. i wanna go to bed :P i still feel like crap.

[Zhenechka]

My eyes burn.

My head hurts.

I'm going home.

[Skilyne]

An old Asian woman was picking up and playing with my underwear at the laundromat today. They were the already clean ones, and she kept picking them up and waving them while smiling at me.

I'm going to rewash them.

French bread pizza is in the oven.

[kittymao]

oo, if ANYONE picked up my chones at the laundromat, I'd NEVER WEAR THEM AGAIN. I have issues with people just borrowing my clothes. grr.

I'm gonna have to get in the shower soon. for work. again.

our car got stolen.

[ebandit]

What is a pedagogy workshop? he wondered uselessly

I need to fix some supper.

Geesh it gets dark way to early after the time change!


Bonus Fact- I HATE people borrowing my clothes too...I had a roommate that did it without asking...I set him on the straight and narrow!

[Larrissa]

rawr i say :angry:

why oh why, the wiley wont answer my why ...

must play with art supplies!

[Zhenechka]

A pedagogy workshop is a workshop where you're taught how to teach. :D This one was supposed to be about integrating people who have grown up speaking a language at home but have never been formally educated in that language into a second-language class primarily aimed at people with no previous knowledge of the language being taught. Geesuz. Without the jargon, it gets wordy.

I'm waiting for my wife to get home because I found a $100 return fare to New York (taxes are twice the amount of the fair!).

I'm hungry and wish that dinner were ready NOW!

I don't want to make anything tonight.

[bluecrayon]

I just looked at Zhenechka's blog...

very interesting!!!!

your erudition on all these threads made me curious...

[Larrissa]

mister boy is a fucking nut, but its quite amusing.

not that one damn you.

she made ramen :yay:

[bluecrayon]

I miss kamoke

I miss medeous

I miss freckledfacecutie

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i was thinking about medeous earlier today. i miss her a bunch

i'm making pasta for dinner

i'm so excited and anxious about the election

[Larrissa]

i have two of kamokes photos on the back of my door

and a bunch of art by a bunch of you too

i love having art, why yes i do

[kamoke]

really?~! this makes me smile up here in this room

I should get some more photos of what I've been doing lately

tonight we went to yoga, and I am house manager so I'm off work this week taking care of meals and the cleaning!

yehaw! :lol:

[ebandit]

I miss Kamoke's pics

Damn...what is that cat doing in there? hideous sound of stuff falling

I shall go look ARRRGH

[ebandit]

Mister insane Cat was on top of the refrigerator.

I store the unopened cat treats on top of the fridge

My Cat gets dried bonito as a treat-I get it at the Chinese/Korean/Asian food store (god I hope I didn't offend anyone)

[Larrissa]

blank box

balnk mind

unblank laughter repository

[bluecrayon]

when the heart gets the most lonely smiles come...

and those that appreciate you show up...

and that's all you need to know.

[hammerquill]

Donatella the Australian Shepherd, star of stage and screen, is no more.

The past week or more she barely had the energy to stay upright while walking in the compulsive, senile, blind and deaf little counterclockwise circles that have been her main waking activity the past month or so. The vet came today. She died tranquilly, after a fair number of her many, many, many friends from around the studio complex - where she lived most of her long life - had said goodbye to her; she no longer recognized people, but still could enjoy being petted.

My father will by now have buried her under the herb garden.

[Zhenechka]

Man, that sucks.

Crap, I need to be more interesting.

I should go to bed but I don't want to brush my teeth.

[bluecrayon]

aw, Hammerquill.

:(

[Helquin]

Those fast chainers make my head spin. :blink:

Watch out for Lilac & Christine! :lol:

[Lilac]

Yeah, I'm smoking, boy!

My son has the flu.

I shall have it soon enough, I fear.

[Larrissa]

theres not going to be much sleep tonight

preparing for a purse making rampage, as nameless opinions are something i trust, and ive been told those other two were neat.

she saw my giggling computer mood. and i had to explain thats how it was while talking to her online as well :D

[Death_Or_Aldona]

drinking rum and pineapple juice

very tasty

waiting for a guy to bring over a desk and chair for us :) 1:30am is a fine time for moving furniture

[Lilac]

I'll be working form home tomorrow, which means I could stay up really, really late, if I so desired, because I don't have to get up and get ready for work in the morning.

I think 2 O'clock is really, really late..and probably should be getting to bed regardless.

Hello Larrissa! :wave:

[Larrissa]

love to you miss tamara! :wub:

transylvania, hmmmm. first time i noticed that ....

mail must be forwarded :lol:

[Larrissa]

a quick veiwing of the photos of the present top ten posters was interesting :) you guys rock

MISS DoA is without one though :P

im happy to laugh so often

[Death_Or_Aldona]

some day i will post a photo

it's hard to come by pics of me. i tend to throw them away. i do not photograph well :P

i just got back from voting. now i'm all hyper! i need to calm down and get some sleep soon...

[namelessgirl]

I'm nervous about the whole voting thing, really. I'm gonna wear my hippie shirt, just to be obstinate.

Shh, don't tell: I have a crush on a boyyyyy...... not even Ms Larrissa knows about it yet.

Well I guess you do now. Hello!!! :wave:

[chunkymonkey]

some day i will post a photo

oh goodie, cause this kitten is dying of curiosity.



I would never verbally refer to myself as a kitten.
I'm allergic to cats.
something's in the air today-- feels good.

[bluecrayon]

as soon as Death_Or_Aldona posts a picture, so will I...


Hmmm... maybe that will prevent her, though :lol:


I am trying not to think too much about this election; it scares me.

[Larrissa]

i wish i could flee the US

i wish i didnt have to wish that

i wish someone would just shoot him in his monkey head

[bluecrayon]

Larrissa, we need you here...

We need to work hard and bring democracy back...

There is nowhere to go anyway that this country doesn't affect.

[Larrissa]

"happiness" with knowledge requires a grace and strength i have yet to find in myself

oh! i meant to tell you ... holly is visiting us for spring break :yay:

does canananananada even have spring :blink: :huh: :lol:

[bluecrayon]

I don't know if Canada has spring, but it has cryptaesia and wonky and kamoke and Christine and Zhenechka -- that's good enough for me

Is Holly Wonky????

I am sighing with envy...

[Larrissa]

mmm mmm mm missy! hes cute.

the air feels tense. its probably just me.

okay okay, you guys be good, okay? bubye!

[gwensmom]

WWOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO I just voted and it felt good! No lines, no waiting, no evil poll workers trying to disenfranchise anyone. (But I took three extra forms of ID just in case.) Not that my vote will translate into electoral votes <_<

We took Gwen to the emergency room last night. It was pouring down rain so there were no lines and much less waiting than usual. Her gatroenterologists will probably have to look down her esophagus and into her stomach with a scope at some point. She has been totally sacked out since about 11:30 last night.

:yell: :spank: This is for the scum who stole kittymao's car.

R.I.P. Donatella

[Zhenechka]

My upstairs neighbor is listening to Joni Mitchell. I may go hurt him.

Or keep his kitty.

I think that she likes us better than him anyway.

[namelessgirl]

I went and voted yet still feel turmoil. I'm tempted to skip more school and just watch CSPAN all freaking day but that would be unproductive. Larrissa and I should probably start stockpiling food or something instead.

My cats are so damned cute!!! Now if only their poop didn't smell so bad. Grr.

OK no more crushing. Finito.

[gwensmom]

Yes, stockpile food and start researching flights to Canada in case your candidate loses.

I hope the Canadian border patrol is ready for what will happen tomorrow. No matter who wins there will be people clamoring to get in. :P

In Memphis, we are as interested in who wins the two school board positions as we are about who wins the presidency. We are very excited about our fabulous new school superintendent, but the school board is a bunch of ignoramuses.

[hammerquill]

There was a short opinion piece on NPR this morning, talking about how much the commentator likes going to the polls, the feeling of community, neighborhood participation in democracy. And how nasty it is, therefore, to feel forced to vote absentee, and not get to do the whole on-the-day, on-the-spot voting thing. I completely agreed with that, and had been wondering why no one else has said it.

I am partly overcoming the wistfulness by turning in my absentee voting form at my usual local polling place.

I found myself falling asleep early and irresistably last night, as if I hadn't slept more than a few hours on previous nights.

[Lorrell]

1. I have been in denial for quite awhile now and it was OK since everyone was wearing a mask of sorts...for Halloween...now that is over with and it's back to grim reality. <_<


2. I was in the State of Inertia all day yesterday. It was a pleasure to be free of the "must work syndrome" of course i didn't get anything accomplished, and I felt really good for a change. :wacko: Never underestimate the power of extra sleep.

3. J is down at the voting poll casting his vote. I have already voted and the only thing I want to consider casting is a fishing pole. :rolleyes: It's Election Day so I'm having a party this evening, whining an dining,etc. I hope everyone will consider leaving Florida as soon as they've finished voting.

[Curlita]

Hammerquill, I'm sorry to hear about Donatella. :(

Today I am venturing out to my old work place with the babe. It's good to get out of the house.

Dylan has started nursing with his eyes open. He glowers up at me with his brows furrowed while he slurps away. I wish I could get a picture of this without his closing his eyes. I think he looks like Nixon when he does it. My husband says, "Oh, god, don't say that."

[Christine_0701]

haha! of course we have spring in canada!!!

I'm sorry to hear about Donatella, Reed. :(

I'm going to get halloween candy on mark-down today :D

[namelessgirl]

I fleetingly considered voting for Cobb and then my mind went off on an angry rant about male candidates who try to be so cool by sticking a female running mate on there yet there was no one listed with a female president and a male v.p. pairing and my mind just went with it. and then i moved my pen back and forth over kerry and nader with my eyes shut, going "eeny meeny miny moe" and BAM! next thing you know, i had voted for alan keyes.

i'm kidding really.

i felt bad for not knowing more about my local judges and whether i wanted them to remain in office.

Me too.

I need to get in the shower and get out and see the old ladies at my polling place.

I spent this morning after breakfast going over all the ballot inititives and decided that now is not the time for California to spend any more money.

[Helquin]

NamelessGirl gave me a scare! :blink: :lol:

I wish you people could hear me right now: I think I've got my Regis Philbin impersonation down pat!

I'm doing extemporaneous election commentary :lol:

[tanagee]

Yesterday on the local ABC news they had a story about this old couple in Beverly Hills who were originally from Ohio that wrote letters to everyone in Cleveland who's last name started with Z urging them to vote for Kerry.

I am sitting here in my bathrobe, hair in a towel trying to get the gumption to get dressed and get out of here.

Shorts or Jeans today? That is the question this morning.

[siafu]

hey reed...big hugs to you. it was a nice memorial three facts you wrote for donatella too. uh oh. my eyes have tears. i hope you have lots of happy times to remember her by.

tomorrow is the adoption orientation.

i'm buying an immersion heater for making cup of soups and stuff. do you think i'll die by its hand?

[Larrissa]

hello there seefee! i do hope youre well :)

sewing = frustration! :angry: but i love what comes out of it :D

put off a phone call long enough, and when i get around to it no one is available. :blink: four locations, all no answer ...

[Larrissa]

tummy ache!
angst!
frustration!

eh, its all good.

[bluecrayon]

7 days and counting...

happiness, fear, anxiety, desire, love; yikes.

I am NOT listening to the news about this election....

[gwensmom]

I have no idea about how to reply to that hurtful, hateful letter I received in the mail yesterday.

*sigh* I will have to do it eventually, however.

Right now I have little hope that anything I say will make a difference anyway.

[namelessgirl]

random mail today that was all manner of humorous what-the-hell-is-this and just downright cute.

rent is being paid!!! whew. every month it's down to the wire.

i even planned next semester. now the only thing standing in my way is a $25 f$%&ing parking ticket and an advisement appointment with a dull bonehead.

[chunkymonkey]

hurry up election!
my index finger is exactly 3 inches long.
can't stop humming jingle bells.

[zanna]

the sticker on my shirt reads: "i'm a georgia voter."

that's because i am, for the very first time.

i got a silly pumpkin in the mail from larrissa the other day. :D

[Larrissa]

james patrick: asshat supreme. we got a huge envelope of at least a hundred of sucky ATCs and "random junk revenge" which included a pile of math homework. hes not getting away with it. :middle:

ummm, we got two packets of green face mask too, "elvis" wants pictures of us with it on :lol:

and a postcard from meika, today was a good mail day. and this has been your mail report. :D

[Larrissa]

the middle sister can kiss my ass. right there. uh huh. ho. :angry:

shes going to hell if she decides to fuck me over on things

we're all waiting for you guys!!! you better come if things turn out wrong down there!!!

i have a huge yard for camping in but no spare bedrooms... if you're a carpenter you're welcome to add a bedroom onto the house....

i have to do all the cooking though, i am very territorial about my kitchen... :P

[Jacey]

We can't help you. All of you thinking of taking off up here to the North, don't bother, we're all as scared up here as you guys are.....no matter who, be happy it's not Paul Martin...either way, you get a guy who holds his own balls when he pees.

Our PM answers to your President...what's sadder then that?

The only thing that makes me happy today is the glotter I blew around the room like Tinkerbelle fairy dust....hubby's gonna be pissed.

[nymphette]

i don't have t.v. so i dont' know what's going on in the elections... i probably wouldn't watch anyhow, i just hate that kind of thing... and that i'm powerless about it....

we all have an appointment for flu shots next week and julian freaked out first (when he got his varicella vax i told him he was getting medicine in his arm... he didn't realize what that meant till it was done and he wasn't happy about hearing that he's getting more... <_<) but now he's asking when we get our 'blue shots' and why can't we go today.... i think he just wants to get the hell out of the house..... sigh

still no luck with daycares or preschools for him.. my heart is breaking more every time he mentions playing with his friends.... :'(

[Lorrell]

1.Welcome to the 5 o'clock world....Lorrell, Lillac, Larrissa...say Larrissa, I love it when you use that word....asshat. :rofl:


2. When I finally got around to reading the other posts in 3RF today, I was sorry to discover that Donatello had passed on and my deepest sympathy goes out to hammerquil on the death of a pet. I experienced something similiar and I have never been able to replace the animal I loved, I know some people advise you to do exactly that. I just have many memories connected to that particular animal and I think that the longer you have a particular pet in your life, the less inclined you are to replace the memories of that animal, with something new. So I don't have any pets right now...but if I do, I'd be inclined to go for something similiar. Good grief! :'( An herb garden is a nice place to be buried, I'd like the thought of that myself and perhaps if I put it in my will, maybe they'd honor my wishes, but like everything so far, given the chance, they'd screw it up. :'(


3. Oh, this election.....please, please! I spent most of the afternoon out in the swamp fishing and now that I'm home I don't dare turn on the tv cause I'm sick, sick, sick of hearing it all....guess I'll water my tomatoes, and work on my novel. :rolleyes:

Jean Chretien should make a comeback. I'd like to see him on Parliament Hill, joint in hand. Or what about Jean Charest? He has cool hair. Or Gary Doer. What a great name for a politician. We need a French guy. They're sassier. Gilles Duceppe? Sassy. But a jerk.

I've wasted most of today.

I'm not as upset about it as I should be.

I have a new non-school-related book to read. Yeehaw!

[nymphette]

julian has discovered the movie 'dumbo'.... he's loving it....

i told him to watch it with his aunty jodi because she cries over it... :P

i can talk about her all i want here, she doesn't have a computer at home... yet........ :o

[Larrissa]

we do not have any clocks. or a microwave. :blink: im getting over it. missy uses her cellphone as a clock.

first time i saw the term 'asshat' .... bash.org .... as in the ultimate question of ... " <3 - heart? or asshat? " :lol:

we all grieve differently. my sister deals by being pissy it seems.

[Jacey]

If I could pick, it would be Kim Campbell....at least when she was PM she didn't have to make excuses for not holding her own balls.

I need a smoke.

I need a Horton's much more.

[Zhenechka]

Yeah, but Campbell liked to get naked in public a bit too much for my taste.

I still think we need a French guy. Or my mother-in-law. She's French.

I'd like to go outside.

I do not want to ride the subway this evening.

[Larrissa]

oh my. its been quite awhile since i chilled with a bowl. ^_^ kinda forgot about that habit

ive got two tickets to magaret cho! only the show was in new york, on aug 28th <_<

ive gotta go do stuff now. hell!

:wave:

[nymphette]

i haven't made 'formula' for harrison in four days... he's eating enough by mouth now that i only give him a tube feed while he naps in the afternoon, and then only soy milk and water because he doesnt' drink enough by mouth yet... :D yes, i am very proud of him!!!

he's a carb-a-holic though.... noodles, rice, bread, potatoes..... i sneak his veggies in my making a 'sauce' of pureed cooked veggies... and tiny chunks of meat, though he has his days when all he wants to eat is chicken!!!

i think he'll eat christmas dinner with the rest of us.... that makes me happy....

[bluecrayon]

I voted. It took half an hour because there were so many things on the ballot I had to really think about -- even though I had already thought about them :wacko:

I just don't want to hear any predictions yet.

I might sleep until Friday.

[Lilac]

I voted today, too! I have my little "I Voted" sticker stinking to my computer monitor.

I got a beautiful postcard from Skilyne today!!!! Her writing alone is a work of art!

I simply must clean the downstairs bathroom! I'm having company tomorrow night and I'd die of shame if anyone walked in there! (My cousin is coming to give me a copy of his book he recently had published! I'm so excited for him!)

[Larrissa]

i think i might be bored :mellow:

i should sleep. or something.

sewing machines PISS ME OFF.

[ebandit]

I really wonder how sewing machines manage to piss off Larrissa .

I voted.....what a choice...asshat or asshole...pick one and hold your nose!

I am NOT watching the returns....please don't inform me till tomorrow.

[namelessgirl]

its been quite awhile since i chilled with a bowl.

are you fucking holding out on me?!?!?!?!?!?!


dude if you break my sewing machine i'm'a have to put the smack down on yer skanky ass.


ok time to go home.

[Larrissa]

the machine is fine, thought the damnedass bobbin ran out and i had to take all that effort to fill it back.

i get frustrated when i like to do something im incompetent at

chain games, high speed connection, bored has been temporarily banished.

[Larrissa]

oh and NO to the bowl. i was just thinking. :P

i do have chai tea though

that tea monkey is brutal

[Death_Or_Aldona]

:D i also have my "i voted today" sticker on my monitor

living in ohio is very nervous-making today

i really shouldn't be watching the projections, but i can't stop. it's like driving by a car wreck....

[Jacey]

We all know how well bobbins and Larrissa get along.

Chai latte is my flavour of the month.

I hate that I need to pay $3.65 to get it from the conglomerate who thinks they can take over this coffee town. Godspeed Tim Horton.

[Larrissa]

i am so overanxious right now. im not watching tv until tomorrow. or unless that girl turns it on i will walk like a hopped up zombie over to stare at results that will be most likely invalided or recounted

ACK :blink:

i hear wonkys short. like really short.

[velma]

what's this obsession with size, larrissa??

i feel so anxious i could turn into a werewolf and run naked through the woods

i'm going to eat another brownie

and take a klonopin...

[Larrissa]

size!? you accusing me of something? :huh:

i bet white sugar has contributed to my current condition

feel like this is the only thing im capable of right now

[Helquin]

This just in: Ohio is still a tight race, too close to call...

I received recorded phone calls from both Bill and Hillary Clinton!

I know Clinton sold his liberal supporters down the river, but damn that man can talk purty! :lol:

[Jacey]

I'm only four foot nine.

I wonder if Wonky's shorter then me.

I don't like Hamburger Helper.

1. I need a reprieve from all things politcal, including the frigging nominating committee I am on.


2. I need to spend more time with my bobbins, pins and needles.


3. I need a large field of cotton.

[Larrissa]

i got my check card in the mail today

and the landlady wasnt there, so the rent aint paid yet

i consume waaaaaay too much sugar each day

[velma]

i can't bear listening to cnn anymore
i can't bear changing the channel

i don't know what to do!

[Larrissa]

"i need a large feild of cotton" ...

thats somehow awesome and made me feel a bit more peaceful

three lines, three facts, bite it.

[velma]

have a brownie

oh for a large sock filled with horse manure!

why don't they all just stick their noses up each other's asses and get it over with!

[Larrissa]

PLEASE FOLKS, turn off your TEEVEES. you can do it! come on!

guns filled with horse poop. like super soakers. ew.

self pain is sometimes really good. occasionally im a situation chaser.

[Jacey]

It amazes me how hyped up you all are about this election.

I understand why though.

It saddens me that this sort of thing just doesn't happen in my country. I don't think anyone ever really cares, because our choice in leaders is never very monumental. Not even to us.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

our landlady didn't pick up the rent yesterday

she didn't pick it up today either cause she was too busy voting for kerry ;)

there's a lot of cash sitting here. we can't spend any of it, so we're actually broke. bah!

[chunkymonkey]

step away from the tv veronica
NJ went blue... of course it did. No worries.
I'm nervous.

[bluecrayon]

why anyone in the working class would vote for Bush amazes me...

I think sometimes I'm on an acid trip

and it's gonna get kind of scary soon

[velma]

i can't eat any more brownies

i'm yelling at the tv

i'm going outside for a cigarette

[Larrissa]

i want a bowl

not possible

i need to get out and meet people one of these days

[bluecrayon]

what if we all woke up tomorrow and it was 1920?

with computers and fax machines, of course

but no middle class, no birth control, no labor laws and no hope...

yikes. I need some champagne.

[Larrissa]

you know what? im gonna hit the alcohol. this is more stressful than it should be i know.

treefrogs! love em, i go out a couple times a night to check for em

she has the TEEVEE on, eewwww

[velma]

i can't take it anymore

i'm turning off the tv and going to read

talk to you all later....

[Larrissa]

bye bye velma!

and

what the hell??

[Lilac]

This is just too scary.

my head is pounding

my heart is heavy

I'm going to bed

[Cuilanië]

I don't have a tv.

I heard the news corresponding to that map on the radio, and it ruined my digestion.

Two idiots are having a music loudness battle a few computers over. Argh. And neither music is something I enjoy. Argh.

[Cuilanië]

I'm cranky - I had a brush with hypoglycemia earlier...

My neck and back hurt. I need to see a chiro sometime soon.

Call that music??? <_< :angry:

[Lilac]

Bah! I have bad cramps!

I blame it on the election, not menstruation.

Damn Bush! Stay out of my uterus, monkeyman!

[Helquin]

I'm still hearing optimistic interpretation of voting results...

So far none of the declared states is a surprise, although NC is a disappointment. Even so, it's not considered one of the "prime tier" states to win. Ohio, Florida & Pennsylvania: still the ones to watch.

The only "bad" news I've heard is that young voters did not turn out in expected numbers, but the expectations may have been unreasonably high.

P.S. Word is that Barack Obama won his race. :)

[chunkymonkey]

I'm looking forward to Obama's career.
Neither of them are stealing the other's states so... no news is good news. B)
I'm going to need some coffee to keep up with this.

7 gay marriage bans have passes so far.

[Helquin]

I don't think the gay marriage bans are necessarily a bad thing: call me a kook or a revolutionary, but anything that brings this issue out in the open to be thrashed on American TV screens presents an opportunity for progressive change.

Every state ballot initiative presents an opportunity to raise this issue in households all across the country throughout 2004, and this is a potentially divisive issue within the GOP itself. I look to see more of that delicate flower Mary Cheney in the news! :lol:

Air America Radio has the most incredible lineup of female pundits commenting on the election tonight! Janeane Garofalo, Randi Rhodes, Katherine Lanpher, Rachel Maddow....

I gotta admit: even as a gay man I'm a little turned on :lol:

I'm chomping on hard candy like there's no tomorrow.
pa's margin is closing.
Tonight is really great though.

[siafu]

well, a marriage ban in oregon would annul our eight-month marriage. and i mean, we were doing fine. my neighbors didn't get divorced and no one was passing out gay porn in our neighborhood kindergarten. i won't cotton to that crap; even if it might highlight an issue.

i miss you too, larrissa. :hug:

i am going to go drink tea and eat oatmeal cookys.

[Lilac]

Bush is going to win.

My hope is gone.

And with Bush in office for the next 4 years, my job will probably be gone too.

[Helquin]

NBC just called PA for Kerry.

Now snap out of it, Miss Lilac! :lol:

Very tight in Ohio, but a lot of precincts not yet reporting...

msnbc is saying that the same amount of young people voted out as last time (according to exit polls.)

Where's my Febreeze....

i dont feel so well

how about you?

Still braving the "music" on that jerk's computer and keeping my fingers crossed...

That soup sounds better and better.

I just ate my last raisin-oatmeal cookie. Shouldn'ta. Oh well. :rolleyes:

im gonna go make stuff. maybe. maybe it will just be a nice combo of food.alcohol.music.possibly books.

goodnight.

and good luck, world.

rum and pineapple juice again tonight

calming my nerves

it's not working so well yet...i'm mighty freaked

[Death_Or_Aldona]

things are a little odd here in ohio

a counting machine was down in my county for a while. now there's some talk of a mess-up in counting in another county...didn't give any details about it yet

there's a kitty sleeping in every direction i look :)

[namelessgirl]

politics pushed me towards booze. what sort of public service announcement is that?

namelessboy didn't vote. i am beyond pissed at his lazy ass.

oh the ANGST! stars, i defy thee! oh, and you too, homework.

[namelessgirl]

larrissa says she is going upstairs and then adds "but i'll use the computer if you're done, PLEASEEEEEEEE"

haha if we coordinate our work schedules right, maybe one of us can be chaingaming 24-7.

she plays cubis with me while i'm at work. that game is so republican. you can score more points by randomly clicking your mouse as fast as possible than by actually learning the rules and strategy.

[Lilac]

Hello Sara, my girl!

My son is pooping.

Dinner was subway tonight. His body wants to be rid of that stuff! :lol:

[namelessgirl]

Hey Miss Tamara! How's it shakin'? :D

Poor kid, tell him those hinge cuts will do your colon in every time.


I think Larrissa is just sitting in her room waiting for me to give the all clear. Hmm. Temptation. Maybe I should defrag the harddrive? :P

Because they don't like to believe they're in the working class.

I can't believe anyone who's literate votes for him. Well, except for business executives making or soon to be making seven (or more) digit incomes.

I also can't believe anyone who cares about this country votes for him.

SIGH.

[namelessgirl]

Larrissa's been making purses all day and one of my cats just puked fabric scraps. Connection?? :huh:

Between the two of us we have enough angst for a battilion of shrinks. Or really hot massage therapists :P

She keeps talking about food and then I make her food and then she says she's hungry again. WHERE ARE YOU PUTTING IT ALL, WOMAN??

[hammerquill]

I'm going to eat too many ginger snaps this evening.

Egad, Herr Steroid may have managed to kill proposition 66 - which was to make our Three Strikes law a little less irrationally draconic.

I'm going to quit listening and watch a movie about something fictional.

[Helquin]

No reliable results tonight...

Apparently Bush is (barely) carrying crucial Florida, but the margin is less than the number of provisional ballots cast -- and the provisional ballots won't be counted (by law) till Thursday.

The media is gonna spin this as a mini-series through next Tuesday. :lol:

[namelessgirl]

Ack, sorry to hear about that Hammerquill. I have several friends in CA who were all hopped up to change that quackery.


This computer is *knock on wood* holding up better than I thought.


Must remember to call cable and remind them to turn off TV. Though it was nice to be able to watch tonight's Daily Show! :D

[namelessgirl]

Now she doesn't want food. MAKE UP YOUR MIND WENCH! :P


I can't decide if I should go to bed or stay up and let the angst fester.


I'm handing over the reigns. Here comes the Larrissaness. Goodnight folks!!! :wave:

mmmm, i hope i hope to wake up tommorrow and find everything peachy

but somehow i doubt it :lol:

and dear god, these atc's mister asshat sent are so terrible my eyes hurt.

[Larrissa]

shit! how am i supposed to chain game for another couple hours all alone!?

i could tell you

but then it would no longer be a secret

[chunkymonkey]

these predictions better be wrong.
I'm so disappointed.
If these numbers hold up...

[Zhenechka]

It was sad to watch the Bush Bash break off as CNN AND CBC projected Florida for Bush.

Uh, even if Bush doesn't win the whole shibang, I'm still wondering if I really want to apply for that professorship in Florida.

I could use a couple more beers.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

wow. how many of us are drinking tonight?

i'm in denial. i think i'll stay here for a while

purrrrrring kitties are the best

[Larrissa]

drunk drunk and drunk.

up to get more!

what will i do if this turns out to be the way things seem to be being???

[chunkymonkey]

kerry better not concede until ever damn vote is counted.
dean would have done better I think.
I really need to stop eating this root beer barrels.

[Larrissa]

i thought dean was cute, but he didnt have a chance, even if the fluyell hadnt happened

the window is making strange loud sounds and its onbe of those things im gonna ignore until i simply cannot anymore

i dont like the fact that i may have to deal with more bush. and not even be getting booty with my bush. :lol:

It will go to the the predominately Republican House of Representatives where they will declare Bobo the chimp president.


I can't drink, but I have a pumpkin bucket filled with chocolate calling me.

I have been getting a strange number of calls from Mexico on my cell phone. I have not been answering them, because 9 times out of 10 I don't even hear it ring buried deep inside my diaper bag/purse.

My I Voted sticker is on the shopping cart at Target. Megan really wanted to eat lunch at target and I gave in, the whole time we were sitting there I was thinking about KittyMao. Wondering if she partakes of the food choices Target has to offer.

[Larrissa]

im leaving you to cook

tomorrow is going to happen the way it should

copouts are awesome

[Death_Or_Aldona]

spraying my hair with purple hairspray seemed like a good idea

it smells so bad, i can't breathe...

Shame, shame: religionists in Kentucky & West Virginia owe their children & their children's children a grave apology.

And what the heck is up with Idaho?! Talk about a state with some scary politics... :unsure:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i'm disapointed in west virginia as well

i thought better of my home state. what were they thinking?

i can't believe i'm still awake. granted, i am generally awake this late but i'm exhausted. it's certainly been a trying day.

[Lilac]

Ooooh...7:30 and I've been working for a half hour alreday. I told myself I would NOT get online and see how the election was going, but I couldnt resist.

Ohio - you guys better have done the right thing or I'm going to cross over this here border and kick every one of your buck eyed butts!

Everyone's except Helquin's and DOA's, that is!

I was downtown this morning, and this woman was walking down the street holding a Kerry sign.

I was in uniform so I grinned and said good morning.
All of the sudden the woman starts running at me screaming something about how I am going to kill myself by being in the army, and how I should join the force to remove bush...

How disappointing.

It's okay. It's like when you go abroad and people bitch about America and Americans and then put their hand on your knee, lean in, and say, "But you're different. I like you." I'm leaning in and telling you, "But you're different. We like you."

I still haven't decided if I should eat a bagel or some yoghurt.

I think I'll go make some postcards instead of doing something I should be doing.

Maybe I'll send one to Florida.

~ I think a big problem is that many would-be Kerry supporters are younger people, and so many young people don't register to vote. It seems that, typically, Republicans are older people who are more likely to vote.

~ Damn all my peers who didn't vote. :angry:

~ I feel embarrassed to live in a country that has elected a man, who has no value for human rights, twice (or so it appears)!!! Are half of the people in this country just gluttons for punishment?? Bush has made very few, if any, positive changes in this country, why give him another chance? Why allow him to worsen our economy and stomp all over our human rights?!!? Why not take a chance on someone new who could potentially change things for the better? I just don't understand. :(

[Larrissa]

my 21 year old sister DIDNT VOTE i called her a fuckhead and ranted for a few minutes.

*curse words mixed with ANGST*

shove that gel pen somewhere you wont like ...

jesus, im angry.

[bluecrayon]

maybe the vast majority of the country secretly wants a dictator...

fascism appeals to lots of people

you no longer have the right to question anything and I guess that might be a comfort...

[chunkymonkey]

In the end is this going to fire up progression?
I feel like we are going backwards.
I'm ashamed at the messege we are sending the world

[Lilac]

Hey! What did I miss?

Bush didnt win yet, did he?

I'm still hanging on to a last thread of hope here!

[Larrissa]

adios

ive got to go

out or something

have a good day

[Lilac]

Yeah. I got to go out, too.

I'm really glad I'm not at the office today to hear all the pro-Bushies congratulating each other. Don't they realize that Bush is going to take all the government funding away from the jobs that we're working on...and that they'll most likely be out of a job before the next four years is up? What idiots. I wanna see them weaing their little Bush pins when they're handed a pink slip.

Now what can I go back to school to be once this environmental engineering stuff is a thing of the past, thanks to Dubya.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

oh god

they just announced that kerry has decided to concede. waiting for his speach...

is this for real?

[siafu]

i don't think so. i think that's ohio spin.

if it's true, i will be going latin on that skinny man

but ok. is there actual harm in waiting until all the votes are in? good god.

[chunkymonkey]

sonofabitch.
The jackass is going to legislate the craziest agenda we've ever seen.
Kerry better get it together in the senate, shake shit up. Of course he won't but I can hope.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

he's speaking at 1:00

i'm shaking

this is so sad

[gwensmom]

Lilac you are raising that boy right.

Zhenechka, eat the bagel AND the yogurt!

I was so thrilled by the high voter turnout yesterday! I am waiting to see if I will be thrilled with the election results.

I was hoping that we would get rid of two idiots on our school board. One will stay and the other one came in second and will face the person with the most votes in a runoff. We also added a new school board member who looks promising.

I have gone from being sad to being really angry about that letter.

~ I feel like I have had the emotional wind knocked out of me.

~ The last time I recall feeling this way was September 11th, 2001.

~ It kills me that there are actually people celebrating this. Disgusting.

[Lorrell]

1. I had an "out of my body" experience last night....which is a very good thing since I can't afford to go to the gas station and astral travel doesn't require baggage checks, tickets, passports, etc.


2. Somehow, J took a picture of my piano and then displayed it on the TV.


3. It's a better image than whats on there now. :wacko:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

well i say. there was a fancy pumpkin postcard in my mailbox from a coupla florida gals :)

oh thankyouthankyouthankyou

that provided a much needed smile :)

[Larrissa]

sad

about to eat yummy food

and watch the Speech

[Larrissa]

Join the club.

How in the hell did this man win the popular vote?


What makes you think he did? He won the computer vote...

Well, in fact he may have won the popular vote, but whether he received all the votes he is credited with in certain places is another question entirely.

I don't believe anything I'm hearing...

The exit polls were all going for Kerry

were people lying?


Or were the machines lying? No one will ever know. There will never be any evidence.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Everyone I've heard is surprised at the result in Florida - they all expected it to be much closer.

But everyone is acting all relieved that there weren't any voting problems. Supposedly.

I wonder if we'll ever manage to bring this country back to what it should be, and believes itself to be.

[Lorrell]

1. Bugs! It Sucks! I'd like to know where all the young people were during this election? In bed with their Ecstasy pills I guess. Only 17% of the vote was 18 - 25.
Did they quit teaching civics or what?


2. Things are really fudged now.


3. This election brought to you by the same folks who killed Marilyn Monroe.

[hammerquill]

Now you can't sue corporations in California unless you can prove direct harm.

You can still go to prison for life for minor, nonviolent offenses.

But hey, we're bucking the Bush administration's reactionarism about stem-cell research by spending state money we don't have on it! <_<

[hammerquill]

I was going to invite you all to California, to a Liberal haven. But maybe not.

About time to revive the ballot propositions to divide the state in three along political/cultural lines, and get out of this place.

I'm trying to think of something new for my sig here, but I have no inspiration...

[sarahkate]

SarahKate's 3 attempts at looking at this situation in a positive light:

~ At least these are the last four years we will ever have to call Shrub our "President."

~ At least he doesn't have any sons so hopefully we don't have to worry about another "President Bush" in the future (unless his brother or nephew decides to run! Ack!)

~ Umm.... :unsure: .... hmm.... I'm finding it impossible to come up with a 3rd fact.

[sarahkate]

~ I can't even concentrate on my work! My brain is just a pool of mush.

~ I'm glad I can spend time here on Nervousness today. You all make me feel less ashamed of this country. The majority of N'nessers are such understanding, intelligent, compassionate people. I love all of you anti-Bushies. :wub:

~ As I was writing Fact #2 I caught myself accidentally (or maybe not?)misspelling the word "country" as "cuntry" which I suppose is a more fitting description of the U.S. when under Bush's rule.

[chunkymonkey]

I feel bad for him having to stand there and give this speech.
I'm pissed that he doesn't hate bush as much as I do.
Begin the healing? wtf!

[Larrissa]

im gonna add my profession of love too

:wub: this has made the situation much more ... acceptable.

its not the first time

[chunkymonkey]

no one I voted for won by the way.
least open space passed.
I wish she could have been our first lady.

[Lorrell]

1. Oh no, now comes the farewell speech.....goodbye Ya'all, all de wimmins is beutifool....so what do we do now while de battle rages on....


2 Oh stop it please.... :'(


3. I need to break Martha Stewart out! I could use some of her expertise out in the backyard.

[Larrissa]

attention span: worse than usual. i forgot about the speech :unsure:

he just thanked a boy, he looks tired, i want to kick him in the shins for not using curse words.

hot DAMN that assortment of hot sauces form tiajuana flats was GOOD.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i don't even know what to say

i can't believe how calm he is being

what now?

[siafu]

yup. i reckon i knew that kerry was a gentleman.

i think a dirty bastard might have been what was indicated for the situation.

i'm like, physically sick. how dumb. i wish my honey were home at least.

[siafu]

he's probably had a nice klonopin tea. or valium cookie.

all the songs on the radio are reminding me of my broke heart

corporationism.

[chunkymonkey]

This is one of his better speeches. figures. <_<
unity is a lovely message but for once I wish he would bring on the rage.
He's too much of a gentleman.

[chunkymonkey]

i think a dirty bastard might have been what was indicated for the situation.

dean was the guy. pissed off is good.
There were major policy differences and idealogical differences between the 2 candidates but they were both the same; mainstream politicians. That was never going to defeat the monster. We needed our own cowboy.
Awww hell.

[Larrissa]

sara went to work

and im sitting here

actually crying

~ Look at me quoting myself! How narcissitic.

~ Anyway, wanted to say that I just realized how narrow minded & sexist that was of me to say! :o Seems as if I was implying that it would be impossible for either of the Bush daughters to be president one day. See how society rails me into automatically thinking of a president as a man? How evil. But, c'mon now... either of the Bush twins as president. Pfft! As if.

1. Hey now, don't everyone cry in their beer, remember what Jimmy Carter said?
He said "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser." :lol:


2. The truth hurts, but so does scotch on an empty stomach.


3 I heard hell froze over in Texas this morning. :violin:

[Larrissa]

im gonna go do other things, it would be rude to just leave

without saying goodbye

:) be good, okay?

[Death_Or_Aldona]

bye :) i should do other things too maybe

i dunno if i can handle watching "his" speech right now

sleep. can i sleep yet?

[bluecrayon]

I just heard he won by the largest majority of the public vote in history...

if that's true, it tells me I am way out of synch with my country...

and I don't know where I belong.
