321356



a CUNTry under the rule of a BUSH ? LOL


Perhaps we should take a POLE of opinions on what it woulda been called under Clinton

I am so bad!

[velma]

i just went to bed and pulled the covers over my head

i don't know what else to do

i remember when he was just our senator; i have working assets and was always sending letters over this and that, and his office was the only one that responded

[chunkymonkey]

last campaign. well that's something.
why am I still listening to this stuff?
I need to go pick some trash. :P

[Larrissa]

:rofl: cuntry

[siafu]

i have no triple sec

what happens if i make a margarita without it?

i hope i live.

[tanagee]

I am putting mailing labels on envelopes to send out some flyers and as I am doing it I look at the state and say "fucking Texas", "fucking Idaho", etc.

:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:


:'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

[nymphette]

i'm sorry about this all my southern neighbors... :(

well...

so...

[namelessgirl]

there are no words.


could everyone please take this as a sign that we should be more involved in local politics too, as they are the buildup to the BUllSHit?

especially those of us in florida where governor jeb BUSH is up for re election in '06

[Larrissa]

:wub: keep rocking

im too freaking intoxicated to be sad this moment

um, yeah. not voting is SO MUCH WORSE than voting for bush.

[chunkymonkey]

alright.
thanksgiving is coming. Turkey day is my favorite holiday.
my head is clear now.

[Skilyne]

I saw him tonight, and things went well, but for some reason I'm feeling so sad and lost. Maybe because in my heart, I know this whole relationship is self-destructive. And maybe because I want something I can't have...even if in the moments that I am with him, it feels like I can.

I don't know what to do or feel. This hurts.

There is just something about him though...I can't explain it.

I know this is a cycle for me. I can read over old posts and see the same pattern. Sorry for the pervasive saddness.

For the record, I am VERY disappointed in America. Although I am proud to say that I am from Pennsylvania and Kerry took PA.

[Skilyne]

I am sick about this whole Bush thing. What kind of message does this send to the world???!!!

I am also sick about all the people who didn't vote. It's once every 4 years for goodness sake...suck it up and vote!

I'll be 27 when the Bush Dynasty ends...how horrid to think.

[Larrissa]

i miss my dad. IMing with my sister. wah.

its raining major outside.

i finally looked at all the Today thread photos, and realized i cant be pissy about misising photos - because the majority of the missing are my own!

yeah. we live. and thats that.

[ebandit]

I decided to have wine with dinner (yes alone again-naturally) and I am a bit sloshed



I have 70's music blaring on the TV (sirius radio)


I had pizza with the wine....I ate too much---I doubt I will sleep well tonite

[ebandit]

I am sitting here wondering what Lorrell is taking so long to type (the thingy showed he was writing a comment...but then when I posted he disappeared! ARRRGGH I hate that)

When I drink I get more talkative..but drinking is not always required to get in that mood


I started a new painting tonite

[Lorrell]

1.It was so very boring here today, I had visit Wallyworld just to assure myself other life forms were in existence.

2. I'm so glad I'm going to St. Petersburg Saturday. To the Dali Museum! Oh, how sublime and inspriring, I hope I can get ready for this field trip and not screw it up somehow, then USF on Friday. I'm not even going to think about "love" and all those other four letter words that are so redundant.

3. J fucked up the TV with the camera and now I can't get the normal cable to work so it looks like I'll be watching Jimmy Carter and Kitty Kelly. I need more fluids. It will be a fun trip especially with the camera working. :D

[Lilac]

Damn you Larrissa! You had to talk about scrubbing the kitchen floor...so I felt compelled to scrub mine! :lol:

I must have OCD!

My son, not realizing I was scrubbing, came running out into the kitchen and did a painful split onto the floor.

Because of that, he said he was too incapcitated to take out the garbage.

So I ended up hauling seven freaking bags down to the road.

And I got dog pee on my new nightgown. :angry:

It's all LARRISSA'S FAULT!

:P

Yeah, I hate it too, somebody called me on the telephone to make sure I haven't cut my throat or something and they needed to be assured that the enviroment is collapsing and the end of civilization is near.

Every now and then I like to wander off into another room just to look at it and see if I still like it. :wub:

I wish I could find the manual...damn it! I was instructed not to cry!

[Larrissa]

always my fault <_< i take blame for the vinegar. thought it always worked for me.

i must refill my cup!

shes out :huh:

[hammerquill]

I heard it start raining this afternoon, and went out to close the window of my car. There I saw a whole group of people from the architects outside, looking up, just the way I always joke that we Northern Californians do when it rains the first time in early Fall. Though of course it's already rained several times this season.

They were looking at some extremely dramatic, angry, evil, Hollywoodish clouds, and speculating that maybe God had come to punish California for voting for Kerry.

Then the thunder and lightning started.

[gwensmom]

I am online because I am too angry at someone (not gwensdad) to sleep. I hope I can work through it soon because I am still tired from the emergency room.

Gwen is making an unbelievable recovery! I took her to school with great misgivings and hovered around my telephone all morning waiting for a call telling me to come get her. But when I picked her up her teacher said she had her best day so far this year and that she behaved like "the old Gwen I used to know". :)

I am so grateful and relieved to see her smiling and cooing again. She has not done much of that since last spring.

[hammerquill]

It was rather a short thunderstorm.

I like thunderstorms, but we get them rather rarely around here.

Dave was installing our slide scanner in the computer, and having difficulties getting it recognized, when the thunderstorm started. After a few minutes he wondered out loud if, given the way this week was going so far, he shouldn't shut things down and do something else while the storm was going on. But it all turned out okay.

[Larrissa]

hes cute, and gay, and a stranger. we have jenny in common it seems

god i need some life connection

i keep yowling right back at demon the cat but he wont shut up

[gwensmom]

In the past, conservative republicans have always favored fiscal responsibility. I wonder if the ones who are appalled by Bush's huge deficits will start rattling some cages now that the election is over.

I want to say how proud I am of Sarahkate for voting for the first time. You go!

Now that Gwen is better and the volunteer luncheon is over I really need to start helping out my mom and my aunt a lot more. And to vaccuum.

[bluecrayon]

apparently, so do I.

does this count?

what about half way relationships????

[Larrissa]

its all worth SOMETHING, i tel myself

she called me a "cyber stalker" before

im sure this doesnt help any

[Helquin]

Eh, I'm done for tonight.

Thank goodness for Jon Stewart. :)

ugh: I've got a "date" tomorrow night. I hate "dates." <_<

[bluecrayon]

goodnight, H.! :)

I'm off to NaNo land...

I'm going for 2000 posts tomorrow -- :lol:

[Larrissa]

i may have missed jon stewart, i keep no track of time whenever possible ... :mellow:

dont let me forget to leave a note on her door before i go revel in inconsciousness ... -_-

lord? i appreciate that talk with that stranger. it wasnt much, some would say, but thank you. upon Reseach, it was over an hour :o well anyway, thank you.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i just woke up from some much needed sleep

i just learned that we are $12 short on rent. she's picking the money up tomorrow.

where does one find $12 at this time of night?

[Lilac]

Ughhhh! I'm thrwoing up.

why why why why

now what

[chibibluebird]

I'm sorry you're thrwoing up. (Ok. I'm sorry I'm a jerk.)

Today...guess what... I went in a store and in the back corner there was a 75% OFF ART SUPPLY SALE!!!!:)

[namelessgirl]

Awww I hope Lilac feels better. See? I told you hinge cuts were bad.

I had sort of a "date" with namelessboy last night. I'm still so confused.

Actually, let's be honest. It wasn't a date at all. It was a plea for pirate treasure.

hurrah for some good news!!!

it's cold up here right now...

i am tired...

[Lilac]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/TamShad/bush-priceless.jpg


ok...I know that's from the last election...but still...

[Zhenechka]

I'm going to go get ready for the day.

I'm wondering if Pain Perdu will have tarts out yet.

I'm wondering if the wife would prefer a lemon tart or a dried apricot tart for her birthday.

I'm wondering why people buy anything at Patachou and Clafouti. They're so sucky.

[Lilac]

Here's another good one...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/TamShad/bush_spiderman2.jpg

[bluecrayon]

Lilac! :lol:

It's good to laugh

I still think we are in a bunch of doodoo, though

[bluecrayon]

three "G" words dominate our culture, I think

and playing on any of them will bring out the voters:

God, gays and guns.

[velma]

bluecrayon, you're right on the money, as usual!

my hands are cold

my house is cold. I want to fly south!!

[Larrissa]

i drank a whole lot yesterday, yes.

i have a day ahead, here, and should use it productively

jokes make it hurt less, thank you miss tam.

[namelessgirl]

Another day at school OH JOY!! ha /sarcasm

Why does chaingaming always make me have to pee?

It's hard to talk to too many people at once.

[Lilac]

All we have left is to laugh...so here ya go....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/TamShad/bush_oz.jpg

[chunkymonkey]

I just spilled an entire bottle of bleach down the stairs. :angry:
almost all of it got out, onto the carpet, before I could get to it. :blink:
omg the whole house reeks. Any suggestions? :(

[siafu]

if we go through the department of human services, adoption services are free.

our county has no waiting list.

but i don't know how gay friendly county dhs will be, as opposed to a private agency that is known to be gay friendly, but charges $3000.

[Zhenechka]

I'm wondering why a good parent isn't a good parent isn't a good parent.

I would really like it to stop raining NOW.

I am sick of editing.

[siafu]

i felt pretty confident before the gay marriage BAN...hear that last word as spat.

but, now, it feels like there's this whole contingent out there who thinks my family is grade b meat, or maybe even taco bell, grade C or D

but, H said she got no bad vibe from the social worker last night. i'm just tenterhooked about it, i guess.

[Zhenechka]

I was shocked that Oregon passed a gay-marriage ban.

I need to brush my teeth.

It has stopped raining, so I must be off to buy that tart. Fare thee well.

[bluecrayon]

I guess if the "Moral" factor carried the election, this mess in Iraq is moral...

denying health care benefits to gay couples and their children is moral...

squeezing all the joy out of school for poor kids because there is no money now for art and music and theatre and books in the library and lunch in the cafeteria because of tax cuts for the upper 1% of the population is moral...

[bluecrayon]

obviously I am still a bit worked up

and still stunned

and still not sure where I live anymore.

[Larrissa]

*burp* oh excuse me, lunch was good.

the cd recently finished, do i take the lazy way and just hit play? or take the effort to get outa new cd??

apple crisp is crisping!

[Larrissa]

see, youre supposed to stare at it for five minutes, after which you will be happy

my mp3s and photots and paint shop pro are still only on cds, thus i am bruce wayne

i wish i had some mlik to have so espresso with

[namelessgirl]

apple crisp sounds REALLY REALLY good. especially with that vanilla ice cream and hell, maybe a can of root beer. *gasp*

i suppose if you really want espresso you could walk your skanky butt to the corner store and buy a thing of milk :huh:

i went to the organic store on my break and bought more dishwasher soap. how exciting is that? not very.

ps i am in love with the new Lists thread.

[zanna]

had another one of those damn sex dreams about a teacher last night.

leave me alone!!

be gone from my head!

[Zhenechka]

I don't understand why anyone would want milk and not cream in their espresso.

Or ice cream. Ice cream with a shot of espresso poured over it is delish!

I bought a lemon tart.

Dude at the bakery thought that I was French.

Heh. He always thinks that I'm French.

I'm not French.

[bluecrayon]

And the guy at my bakery always thinks I'm Swedish

heh heh -- I am. :D

at least half of me is, but is that the half he's looking at????

[namelessgirl]

I couldn't get library books today because I had $8 in overdue fines and I am poor and they wouldn't take the Credit Card of Doom.

I love that my friends are getting all politically militant and organized now. Woo!

I need more hours in the day.

[Larrissa]

i need more sleep, but im stubborn and wont go to bed

walk, might not happen today

:mellow: fuckin hormones

[Larrissa]

and so i try to distract my tired lil self with chain gaming but no one else is playing.

[Larrissa]

number two:
i did alot less today than i hoped

[Larrissa]

number three:
obscene people are awesome

[namelessgirl]

my eyes hurt. mayhaps i have been on the computer too much?

it's cold in here and the security cameras weird me out.

i'm hungry.

[Larrissa]

i see a meeecaaaah :wub:

ryobi 9.6v ... theres alot of words just hanging around in this room

i wish the cat was in the window for easy kidnapping and hugs.

[Larrissa]

im hungry
im tired
im whining!

[Skilyne]

I am not going to be negative on here today. I'm going to focus on the positive.

I'm drinking chocolate milk. YUM!

I'm warm and feeling relaxed.

[Cuilanië]

I'm still depressed about the election results, but I can't say I was surprised... unfortunately.

The weather's turned to freezing. as far as I know, my winter coat hasn't left France yet. Not good.

The landlord hasn't given an answer yet. He still has a week to say no. :crossed:

[Cuilanië]

Warning: This edition of 3RFacts is seriously gross and not for sensitive stomachs. Sorry. I just had to share... :rolleyes:

I went to the convenience store today to get oatmeal cookies. They were harder - drier - than I expected, but I bit into one anyway...

It tasted a bit stale, nothing serious, I figured the package might have been punctured... Looking at it, I found it had popped its seam. All the while chewing away...

Then I looked at the cookies and saw WORMS, at least 3, wriggling around right where I'd bitten. Needless to say, I sprayed cookie all over the sidewalk and had to pick my teeth clean... I'd been chewing the damn things... ugh.

For those of you who peeked... toldja! ;)

[bluecrayon]

Heck -- I TRIED to peek. I admit it.

I've got funky eyes, though, that can't read anything smaller than a truck.

Does anyone else spin around these chain threads for a kind of calming therapy?

[Larrissa]

:o

:o

my sister found maggots inside an almond in a candy bar once ... she had bit one of them in half. she screamed and screamed.

to read it, ya gotta do the text select thingie, black backgroud. right click, select allworks too :lol:

[Cuilanië]

Therapy, social circle, newsstand, ideas, keeping up with the world... This site is multifunction for me.

I haven't had the energy to chaingame in a long time, though.

Having to rent a computer doesn't help any.

[namelessgirl]

i found worms in my chocolate covered cherries once. and another time they were in some old bisquick. totally ruined my breakfast plans dudes!

if my teacher doesn't show up for this class after i've waited around for SEVEN HOURS in pensacola, i am gonna raise holy hell.

i want to get out my beads and make art tonite but instead i have to do CHORES.

[Cuilanië]

Trust Larrissa to blow the whistle on me... :P

I can laugh now, but then I was too much in shock to even speak, let alone scream.

All I could think of was those poor people before fridges and modern conservation techniques who had to put up with that kind of thing daily...

[bluecrayon]

Hey! I just realized it's Hammerquill's birthday...

Happy everything in the world, H.

Aw, I like it here. :)

[Cuilanië]

Hammerquill's birthday is tomorrow, unless I've missed 24 hours and it's Friday already...

Wish I could be in California tomorrow. I'm not even working tomorrow. Anyone got a spare ticket to CA???

I'm crunching Fisherman's Friend extra strongs like crazy. Got a cough to be gotten rid of.

[bluecrayon]

heh heh, Eve. I'm always either too early or too late.

I wish you were here, too.

and of course, I will be there when you ARE here. sigh.

[Cuilanië]

Hello, cb! I like your signature... :)

Our paths seem to ever run parallel, and never to cross. :(

D'you think SF ain't big enough for the both of us? ;)

[Larrissa]

noooodles

fought off both productiveness and guilt about not doing anything

AIM is awesome

[Cuilanië]

Okay, time to go drop off my stuff and maybe eat something.

I'll be back later...

Let's escape the hip-hop for awhile... <_<

[Death_Or_Aldona]

considering going back to bed soon

322037




Aww! DOA...I have some sort of broncitis thing going on, too.

Except I have an inhaler

which I completely forgot I had until you mentioned it!

Thank you Thank you!

Relief is only a cupboard away!!!!!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

glad i could help :P

i'm craaaaaanky

no facts

[Lorrell]

1 I called the two potential nominees this evening and both of them declined. Here I am stuck on a nominating committee and eveyone has political apathy. I'm so thankful I'm the VC of the MG's because if anything should happen to Val, I'm the only one whose got the time and power to take it over. I know what it's like to want to win a second term. :rolleyes: that's why I'm running.


2. Going to the tower early tomorrow morning, and maybe the office in the afternoon. Then gotta get ready for St. Pete trip...taking Pineapple Upside Down Cake for break so my comrades and I don't starve while we are trip planning, etc.


3 I've been a total KLUTZ all damn day....spilled molasses all over the floor, then spilled beads, etc. I don't understand....is this how my sobriety is rewarded, ? :o maybe I'll get a project finished if I can keep it off the floor.

[gwensmom]

322067I wonder what kind of project LoRRell could be working on that requires molasses and beads.

Gwen had another great day. :yay:

My aunt's house is on the market and my uncle is in the hospital so I went and raked her yard so it would look good for potential buyers. My back is really stiff.

Gwensdad and I are making chili this weekend.

[Helquin]

Well, I'm back from my "date." I guess it went OK. Nobody cried anyway. :mellow:

Early birthday wishes to Hammerquill :wave:

The people who live in the shiney part of the world sure do keep busy with their little things to do... The poor dears must be exhausted.

[Lorrell]

My muse.....the Energizer Bunny!

He can't remember one mistake.
He'll stay on course till hell freezes
How can he be so certain still?
Because he's got the word from Jesus.

In meetings of his White House staff,
Unquestioning commitment pleases,
Since human doubts mean nothing to
A man who's got the word from Jesus...... :evil:


Yea! Thanks to all who posted the funny posters, they cheered me right up!

[hammerquill]

Thanks, Helquin!

That date-which-is-necessarily-in-quotation-marks thing... I know the feeling.

The molasses and beads project raised an eyebrow here, too.

The way this week's been going, I'm worried the package from my grandfather will be a lump of coal.

[hammerquill]

Alameda County only managed to vote three to one against Bush.

San Francisco was four to one.

And Berkeley couldn't even pass its tax to keep the libraries open. What's happening to this place? (Besides, that is, the law the right wing put on the ballot in California a few years back which made all local taxes need 2/3 supermajorities to pass...)

[bluecrayon]

I'm tired down to my toes...

but I can't pull myself away from here..

everything is just too quiet around me.

[Cuilanië]

House prices & rents go up, you see the social fabric change... You're seeing the "silks" move in on you, perhaps.

Someone used my european credit card number to make a rather large internet purchase, and badly overdrew my account. My bank was not happy. Neither am I. :angry:

My hair is still damp from the rain... :)

[Larrissa]

its kinda cold out tonight

taco bell is no substitute for the heavenly mexican food with the HOT SAUCE BAR :wub: :wub: i will never be the same after those five delicious sauces. but i was hungry. and we were out.

i cleaned my room, again. it will need to be done again in a few days. dont look at me that way.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1st attempt at sleep was a failure

wondering if my fears are unfounded

watching star trek for the first time in what seems like forever

[Cuilanië]

Haven't watched Star Trek in ages.

I gotta go, place is closing...

Good night!

[Larrissa]

off to bed with me!

that always means an hour+ awake/alone/arting in my room

its time to trim my fingernails

[zanna]

what i do is unhealthy.

this i know.

but i do nothing to stop myself.

[Lorrell]

I have absolutely no business being wide awake and runting and ranting around, but everytime I know I'm going somewhere I end up in "Insomnia Mode"


Joan is going to run against me....Is she gonna be the man for the job?


Must clean the trainwreck off the bed so I can get in it.



:birthday: Hammerquil

[tanagee]

I am having a sad day.

Must call dr tomorrow and find out if sadness is warranted.

I am sick of really shitty things happening to me and I hate feeling like this...I just wanna die.

[Helquin]

Sending a virtual hug to Tana.

It's OK to be sad, especially when things are really shitty.

One step at a time, one minute at a time, sometimes one little grain of salt at a time... Please don't die. :)

i agree tana, i think helquin is right....

though i think you need more than one grain of salt at a time....

lots of 'em... all the way around a big glass of tequila is best.....

[nymphette]

i am trying to get my due date count down onto my signature and i cn't get it there!!!

why am i so freaking computer illiterate???

it's cut and paste to do it, html, and it still won't work.... anyone???

[nymphette]

not that anyone is here right now... but when all y'all are up and at 'em someone know what i am doing wrong???

maybei'm too tired to get it right... hm

talking about american politics before bed is a surefire way to get the heartburn going... pregnant or not.... <_<

[nymphette]

and happy birthday to reed today....

was thinking about you today, wondering how i could bribe you to make me a new tattoo when baby comes and we get a name picked out... :P

probable girl name: bronwyn... and everyone hates it, too bad for them....

graeme for a boy maybe... i've used all my boy names already....

[Helquin]

I had problems with those signature links, too...

But I don't think they're HTML. You need to use that weird UBB or whatever it's called, with the square brackets "[" and "]"

What I'd do: put the link in a post here, using the little "http" button on the Add Reply screen, then cut & paste the code that it spits out. :)

I gotta get some sleep... I think I'm getting un sane

and try again tomorrow....

[Lorrell]

1. Could it be possible for me to awaken to the sound of something besides my %%#^%$*#! neighbor's lawn mower! grrr :spank: :yell: He could at least put a muffler on the damn thing and what in blazes is the asswipe doing out there when it rained like hell last night and the grass is wet?


It's grey out there this morning, just looking out the window brings on questions of what in the world is going into my lungs.


I'm having hot tea and cake, before I go off into battle with the sheeple.


:) more! it's the only counterintelligence available.

[Larrissa]

im not pregnant, im promise. jesus, that would a disaster :mellow:

you and sara can take care of it...

[nymphette]

yeah and it works...

pfffft

and i did try that one i am sure!!! ah well.... thanks lady....

[namelessgirl]

hey hey not so fast!!! trust me, we are NOT NOT NOT responsible enough to take care of kids :D


i love getting clothes out of the dryer on cool days.


holy hell i'm doing dishes. that's not my job. get down here wench! :P

[nymphette]

i was thinking last night that this baby doesn't get the hiccups like both my boys did.....

and i haven't had raging insane cravings like i did with both boys....

and my hormones are way way WAY out of control, something that really didn't happen with both boys.....

take that to mean whatever you want.... i have no proof either way.... :P

322290[/quote]Robyn you cannot use these names because they are not Beatles related liKe Julian and Harrison. You should have Yoko for a girl and Ringo for a boy.

I am now moving from angry to sick and tired of the whole thing. But this is a person that I can't just write off so I will have to continue dealing with her.

[Zhenechka]

I'm thinking it wouldn't be so bad if Larrissa popped a sprog. It might be kind of fun. For us to watch.

I'm having a second cup of coffee.

Would Martha count as a Beatles-related name? She is in a song.

[siafu]

what is pop sprog? is blow gasket or have baby?

i'm looking for books on lobbying. maybe this means i have to start using my library again. but they always want their stuff back... :sigh:

lobbying orgs are not tax-exempt. normally, i think that's not so bad, but today it blows chunkas.

[Zhenechka]

Popping a sprog is having a baby. The physics appear to be similar.

My attempt to leave the computer didn't work.

I'm still sleepy.

[Lorrell]

Spent the morning weeding out the Endangered Species and now it's back to incredible bright and shiney out there.


I asked J why he wouldn't run....just feeling him out...now I know he's waiting for next year and then he'll run for CHAIRMAN....and then there's V's feelings to consider. .....gee that's awfully big of him he's going to wait another year before he rises to power. I need to borrow a simpering smile. Must get myself to Bartow so I can play with the computer over there....It beats the hell out of this one. I need to kick some MG butt! and get the doctor in gear. :devilish:


I can never find a bug when I need one. When I don't - there they are! :angry:


Lunch= Salad - I am starving and dehydrating.

[namelessgirl]

Larrissa having a kid seems weird yet oddly I could see her doing it and being like the coolest mom EVER (well except for the nervousness mommies already here :wub:)


I'm an asshat and forgot my wallet when we went to lunch. Or at least I *thought* I had forgotten it. But first we drove all the way home and THEN I found it so we ended up stuck at Mickey D's because I had to get to work.


We thrift stored and got this cool old cradle type thing for $2 that I am going to repaint and drill holes in and use as a planter on one of the porches.

[namelessgirl]

The girls at work were freaked out because we have a few mice. So they bought traps to kill them. Well I come in today and apparently they've caught one but they're just letting it sit there because THEY'RE TOO SCARED TO TOUCH IT! So I had to empty the trap. But before I did, I chased my boss around the parking lot with it :D :P

[Larrissa]

hell yes!

thats

all.

[hammerquill]

We're all hoping it's a Yoko, though a Ringo would be okay too... Beatles-related? Rita, Michelle, Eleanor, Robert, The Walrus... my mind is not coming up with them right now, but there must be a lot more.

I like the name Bronwyn okay, though in type it's a little funny-looking. The first baby I knew - as in the first time there was a family I knew that went from two kids to three, while I was conscious of the fact - was named Bronwyn.

BTW, Robyn, Did you get the Julian/Harrison inversion tattoo done, or am I going to have to figure some impossible way of incorporating three names at once?

Gwensmom kept talking about how she felt surrounded by Republicans, but her county voted 59% for Kerry - way better than California as a whole. In fact, up between New York State and Massachussetts.

[Lorrell]

:birthday: Hammerquill


1. Someone keeps throwing my mouse pad across the room. If they feel that way about it, they can just BACK OFF!


2. Mike asked me where I graduated from and I said "U of F" which for some reason he thinks is hiliarous.


3. As soon as I get my cell phone out of the tree, I'm splitting for Bartow. The gd Entomologist better be there with some explanations.


(If your not man enough to bury the bodies, then don't do the killing!)

[Larrissa]

i think bush upped the mind control rays a few notches :mellow:

i am way too fond of that smilie ...

im should GET OFF MY ASS and do stuff :huh:

[hammerquill]

Thanks, Lorrell!

My father decided last year that there would be extra paid vacation days for birthdays, Thanksgiving & the day after, Christmas, and New Year's. Just because. We don't take normal Monday holidays off at all, let alone get paid for it.

Still, I'm here at work today. I'm saving that vacation day for the week after next. :D

He took me out to the new Caffe Trieste in his neighborhood. Caffe Trieste is the best cafe in San Francisco, and has just opened near them. God but that neighborhood's getting nice, especially compared to what it was like when we moved in (when I was six).

[Larrissa]

eh, happy day to you mister reed :)

emails are logged and available to the administrators .... hmmm.

its a lovely day and i have the windows open

[Larrissa]

im sick of it! someone needs to say something! :evil:

but she said it was too nice

so i added a line

[moonweaver]

Happy Birthday, Reed! Sorry I don't have any really cool smilies. :)

Blessings,

Pat

[Lorrell]

So, here I am in Bartow and as soon as I get in the office they want to know if they can grow Plum trees. :lol:


Yes, as soon as you teach the pigs to fly, we'll come up with bigger and better plums for this area.


Need to send Nameless Girl some info on Mice Control. :rolleyes:

[tanagee]

Went to the doctor this morning...All is as feared.

I am not going to literally die but I am heart broken. :'(

I am most likely having another miscarriage. :'(


Sorry for the downer news on your Birthday Reed... :birthday:

[Larrissa]

i can be doing fine and dandy

and then like water, im soaked in grief

ive gotta do stuff again, ow.

That was only 3 days ago? My boobs were hurting so bad my whole chest hurt...right about now I would take that pain for the rest of my life just to have a better outcome.

I am so insanely jealous and mad about all the new and yet to be born Nervousness babies.

I had my hubby take my maternity clothes out of the attic last week and I almost bought some tops at Target on Tuesday, but I needed pants more than tops.

Let me know if I get too depressing...

i haven't gotten it done yet, there wasn't enough money once things settled down enough to think about it!!! :o but i do still want to get it like that.. unless you can figure out some impossible way of incorporating three names at once... :P :lol:

my dr. thinks it is a boy... but... she said the last girl she predicted 'came out with two testicles and a penis' so not to hold too much to her opinion... :rofl:

[nymphette]

harrison has apparently lost 800 grams since he saw dr. bruce in saskatoon... i think weighing him on two different scales (and two different KINDS of scales) has a bearing, so i am not going to wrry about it... we'll see hwat he weighs when we see his dietician next....

he's on the 50th %ile for weight anyhow.... if that tub-a-lub loses a couple it won't hurt him, i am sure... he's not got an extra ounce of fat on him, but he's thick and solid!!! :P

he's only on the 5th %ile for height though... but his momma was short, his daddy was short until he was 20, and his brother is short, as compared to 'normal'....so that doesn't worry me either...

he's just right....

[Lorrell]

1. Wow, what a terrific sunset on the ridge tonight, the sky was all baby pink and baby blue. Nursery colors with some wispy heaven clouds floating around, very angelic and I'm sure I saw a few cherubs up there.


2. There was a package from Alberta Canada wainting for me. I am SO :D


3. Chasing the past and keeping secrets, Jasmine you are too :naughty:


the cell is ringing...............La Bamba! :wub:

[bluecrayon]

Lorrell's posts amuse me!

Happy birthday on the RIGHT day to mr. Hammerquill.

I was pleasantly surprised to wake up this morning and realize that the world was still here. I hope the Patriot Act doesn't preclude me from laying out in the sun somewhere... ;)

[kittymao]

tonight is party night.
I'm cold.
wearing a boys' halloween shirt that costed a buck and a half and a pair of skeleton socks for the same price is an AWESOME way to creepify one's wardrobe on a budget.

But we are in the Bible Belt so we have a lot of religious fanatics around here. I work at a social agency so I don't have to put up with too many conservative extremists in person. But poor Gwensdad works with a bunch of right-wing freakazoids. Also, we are the only members of either of our families who voted for Kerry.

I used to have a boyfriend that called me Sadie but I didn't mind because I liked him a lot. He dumped me, though, and married the next girl he dated.

After pondering what I should do about four more years of Bush I have decided to follow Brunahildm's lead and join the ACLU. I will also join a local organization called the Mid-South Peace and Justice Center.

I heard that the state of Tennessee was going to put one of those gay initiatives on the ballot until one of our liberal state senators attatched a rider outlawing adultry. After that no one was interested in it any more. This may or may not be an urban legend.

My mother didn't vote for Kerry and now she wants to write Bush a letter and tell him to get out of Iraq because my cousin will be sent there next year. Like he cares.

When the babysitter gets here Gwensdad and I are going out in search of alcohol.

[Skilyne]

YAY! I'm happy for Sarah that Gwen is doing better.

I'm SO SLEEPY...which is odd, because I've been sleeping well and even took a nap after work.

My life is awash with confusion. But right now, I'm feeling very relaxed.

[Lorrell]

Three to see tomorrow:

1 Oeufs sur le plat sans le plat

2. The Hallucinogenic Toreador

3. Tuna Fishing


of course there's more....and V. e-mails me she wants me to get some souveneirs for her, etc....How come all I got from the GA trip was some sweet potatoes....all that time and no T-shirt...grrr...sure I'll shop for ya, just hand me the plastic! or maybe she'd like an orange she can bite into it, skin and all. :angry:


My gemini, J....the sign of the twins...he had a younger brother and sister that were twins., the communication lines are open but your in a state of constant motion. Traveling and messages 90%. we'll probably cross paths somtime during the journey (sigh) :wub:

I am making Gwen a GI (gastrointestinal) cocktail. It is a 1:1 mixture of Maalox and Mylanta. Shaken, not stirred.

Reed what did you get for your birthday? Tell us about your cake.

Gwensdad is in this hyper home improvement mode. Good thing someone is.

[Larrissa]

wow, i got the response. :huh:

i ogled, truly OGLED fabric at joannes

i consumed WAY TOO much hothothot sauce at the burrito place, it made me sweaty and teary. but it was awesome. today i had six different kinds.

[velma]

skilyne, it's good to see you again!

gwensmom, you have my sympathies

maybe you should make a GI cocktail for larrissa, after all that hot sauce

[Lilac]

I went to the doctor today. He tells me I have mono.

Strange. I mean, I've been feeling kinda crappy lately, but not so crappy that I'd have thought that I had momo.

So...I guess kevin won't be getting lucky for awhile. hm <_<

[Larrissa]

i jsut laughed so much my ears are hot

bush, hopped up on cocaine, humping a camel on the white house lawn

i often wet myself from sneezing

[tanagee]

I want to take a bubble bath in my big jacuzzi tub and get really drunk.

Unless I want my kid in the tub with me saying "no bubbles mommy" (she hates the jets) I will have to wait until she goes to bed.

It's only quarter to 7 so I will have to wait a while.


Bonus fact: Megan is sitting on the couch watching Dr G, Medical Examiner on the Discovery Health channel.

***typo alert***

[Skilyne]

OH NO LILAC! The mono is no fun!

Boy. That's probably not what most people would expect if they ordered one. Especially near army bases...

Reed what did you get for your birthday? Tell us about your cake.


Dunno yet. I'm going over to my parents' house for a good dinner in a short while. We'll see if there are any presents...

One time when my father was woken up by a brash stockbroker from New York, he speculated that part of the reason us West-Coasters are thought of as laid back and casual and hedonistic is that, when you people to the east of us have to call us, you find we don't start business till noon, your time. And we stay up ridiculously late every night. I mean, I know you know better, but some part of you has to be saying Jeez, haven't you got out of bed yet??

Soon, like the middle of next week, we should have photos online of all the wallpieces we've ever made, except for five or ten that accidentally never had their pictures taken.

[Lorrell]

1. Oh, Gastro Cocktails....Yee...uck! I had to drink one of those Barium Milkshake Drink for GI Cat-Scan....Barfoo! like Fear Factor...ugh!

2. If I hear anybody use the term "Flip Flop" to describe anything other than shoes for the beach I'm a gonna SCREAM :yell:


3. I must let nothing disturb me, nothing frighten me, where is the Blackberry, I need incense & 15 minutes or so....music please.

[bluecrayon]

If I hear anyone else tell me they voted for Bush because he's moral, that will make ME scream...

I saw an eagle fly over my house today -- yikes. Astounding.

Would you like a kiss?

:lol:

Well no more kisses for you Ms Lilac! :D And sorry but yeah no postcard yet. We'll keep an eye out.

Mexican for dinner and then a trip to the fabric store. Can you tell I got paid today?

We got pavers to make a walkway for the garden. Sunday we are doing hardcore yardwork!

[nymphette]

harrison is in bed.... i forgot to flush his broviac today though so i wrote myself a note on the cupboard by his meds to remind me.... <sigh> i had to put some silver nitrate on the granulation tissue around his g-tube and he got mad and was crying and so i snuggled with him after (like didn't i feel like the world's worst mommy, making him hurt??? :( ) and totally forgot i had hep-lock his CLC.... oh well, no harm done....

i'm all alone in the house (well, he's almost asleep, so technically... ) and i want to sit at the computer and chain game but my back is soooo sore!!! i even broke down (again, dont' tell anyone) and took a couple of ibuprophen to try to help....

i woke up the other night and couldn't sit all the way up or get out of bed... it took me five minutes to get out of bed to the bathroom.... <_< good thing it wasn't an emergency!!!! :o :P

[bluecrayon]

aw, Nymphette. sometimes I kind of cry when I read your posts.

I can't even imagine all the work you do to take care of everyone...

you are my hero. :)

[nymphette]

8 weeks to go and then i will be having the baby!!! well, probably not 8 weeks to the day, but as of dec. 26th i am 'full term' enough to go in and have it done!!!

they had lost my file at my dr's and so the ultrasound STILL isn't arranged and neither is my appt with the new OBGYN doing shared care with my doc...

i say GGRRR to her incompetent receptionists.. they filed me under "R" instead of "L", and hadn't even made my appts when they filed!!! though somehow they had filed my bloodwork results in it first.... glucose test passed, so far so good for the whole gestational diabetes question... though i tested positive for strep b virus so will automatically have to have an antibiotic when i deliver....

can it technically be called 'delivering' the baby when they are cutting it out of me???? hm............. :huh:

[Larrissa]

i tried to tell you my moods will terrify you .... do you believe me now?

eeeeeeewwwwwwww damnthe southern states for having cockroaches EWWWWW they seriously give me nightmares. and for awhile i loved in a home in texas with plenty of buggy nightmares :blink:

ive cried plenty at reading of other peoples harshness of living. bleh.

i'd settle for minimum wage too... i'm not picky!!! :P though i dont' even know what minimum wage is in sask right now.... probably around $6.50 i think....

nymphette, is there anything I can do to help you?

what would you like to receive for this next baby?

I want to send you something that will make you smile.

Hey, Nymphette, don't shortchange yourself.

You are worth more than minimum wage.

I am a mother, too, and I kind of think this is one of the most important jobs out there.

[nymphette]

oh i have no idea what i need!!! other than the baby being healthy....

i realized yesterday that people who say (when asked do you want a boy or girl) 'i dont 'care as long as it's healthy' have absolutely no idea hwat they are talking about until they actually have an ill child.... i am actually pretty calm about the whole thing, unbelievable that may sound... me??? the perpetual worrier and pessimist???? yup... i have faith in harrison's pediatrician that we won't go through the hell that we went through with harrison when he crashed because dr. ruthnum is someone i can trust... i can't believe that i am calm about it, i dont' expect anyone else to believe it!!! :P

i am regretting selling all my baby clothes and other stuffs last summe rin a garage sale though!!! :o i've been trying to piece together enough stuff to get by though, garage sale by garage sale!!!! i have no clue where my bedding for the cradle is, and my sling i think was sold too... ah well...

i am wondering if it's bad etiquette to ask my mommy or sister to have a shower for me BEFORE baby comes... i know they'll have one, but i just want to be able to enjoy it- i never got one with harrison because they were waiting till after because it was so close to christmas (and baby is due on harrison's birthday!) but then 'after' wasn't a good time...... so if this baby is sick, i won't be able to enjoy a gathering like that, taking care of a sick baby again... oh yes, and that baby will be wearing a dish cloth when it comes home... :rofl: okay, i broke down and bought some newborn clothes... 3 baby-in-a-bags and a couple of sleepers at a garage sle- pretty good for 3 bucks!!!

[bluecrayon]

okay, nymphette! I'm just gonna send you stuff.

and you are wonderful.

and sometimes I just look at these pictures of your boys and think: Wow!

[nymphette]

i actually have some recent pics of them that i STILL haven't scanned and put up... i should do that sometime soon!!!!

and get our halloween pics developed..... and we have family pics ready to be picked up i have to get tomorrow...

hell, i 'll wait till tomorrow and get it all done... i'm too lazy to scan two days in a row!!

Take care, you.

[nymphette]

i FINALLY get some time to chain game and sit on my butt... and chris comes home at a reasonable time... go figger, of course.....

i could just sit here and play anyhow, but thn i'd feel guilty so i wont'.... ah well....

baby's bouncing around in there and i need to stretch out anyhow.... and take a pill or something for this cough!!! it gets worse each passing day now... i thought it was clearing up..... <_< ah well... again.....

back tomorrow for a few stolen seconds of my day!!!!

[gwensmom]

Gwensdad and I went on a date and neither of us cried. But Gwen did.

She is still crying. I thought we were over this. :(

She is really congested too and the suction machine won't work right.

Lilac! I am so sorry you have mono! :( (I almost spelled it "momo".) boo hiss.

[Lilac]

Awwww! Poor Gwen!

I hope you and Gwensdad had a good time on your date!

Don't worry about me and my mono, I don't feel all that bad...although my doctor had to do bloodwork to make sure that the virus does not cause my body to start rejecting my kidney. Yikes!

Walked out in the living room at 7 and Megan was crashed out on the couch, put her in bed fully dressed...well sort of, she is just wearing a cotton dress.

Took my bath, but now the tub won't drain and backed up into the other bathtub and made the toilets bubble. :'( I hate living on a septic system!

XOXO to Robyn.

[Lorrell]

It's late and I expect to hear J walk in any momment.


Is it so difficult to believe that I am free and when I walk out that door tomorrow morning there will be no man, woman, child, or beast clinging to my leg and screaming, "Don't Go! Your mean! " etc.


Thank God! I am FREE :D


Captaine America has arrived! :lol:

[bluecrayon]

what are you saying Lorrell?

gwensmom gets another hug.

I am totally spinning and alone -- 800 miles is sometimes too far for me to dance to.

[Larrissa]

Argh.

it happens.

:blink:

[Helquin]

Sorry to hear about your mono, Lilac :(

My NaNoWriMo thing is just so ridiculous I don't know what to make of it... :huh:

I am in a time warp. How can it be 6 November already?! :blink:

[Gingersmack]

I have been in limbo the past few days, I thought it was Thursday. Heh!

I am attempting to move my website shiznit to another host today/tonight.

Wonkiness abounds... arrrgh!

ebandit is not talking about me

[hammerquill]

I'm shocked to discover that it isn't actually Rustell's satellite everyone's tuning into.

I wish cyberhugs were more effective so they could be of more help for tanagee (and nymphette, and gwensmom).

Without two strong reasons against it, Lilac's offer would be tempting...

p.s. Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!

[Larrissa]

if you mention rustell / sirius as siriustell she wont know youre talking about her :ph34r:

damned damned stinking angst

i have too much to do to let feeling this way stay around

[Larrissa]

daaaaaamn, theres been FOUR active users in the past ten minutes

i want to hibernate awhile

mister boy uses watersoluble pen

[Larrissa]

ack!

only me and a guest.

im going back to bed.

[Lorrell]

I up and (shockingly) dressed and ready to go off to St. Pete to the Dali Museum this morning. I can hardly believe it! This early on Sat morning, I'm usuually watching cartoons in my jammies or sleeping


It's the typical beauty Florida day and I'm taking Ruthies digital camera and going to figure out how the damn thing works (READ F------manual)while someone else drives....


Drinking tea and eating cake for breakfast....must be the Marie Antionette diet I'm on...GOOD MORNING all you BREEDERS out there! I'll have plenty of stories to tell when I get back :lol:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

still need to set the bedroom clock back

i woke up thinking it was an hour later than it is

going back to bed is tempting, and likely to happen soon....

[Skilyne]

I am sending out some mail today...someone will get a surprise.

I need to actually get up and shower soon if I have hope of making it to the post office...my motivation for moving out of my warm bed here is low though.

I need to also pay some bills today...not overly excited by this.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

went to the gas station last night around 3am

a very stoned cashier made us take a dozen krispy kremes just so he wouldn't have to through them out. :)

bed? is that you calling?

sending you healing vibes!!! yuck, MONO!!! :ph34r:

is epstein-barr a worry with a kidney (all transplants??) tx, or is just a liver thing??? hey, i have other stuff to read up on now!!! i guess i should see what is strictly liver tx related and what is common for ALL tx'ed organs!!!

hope you're feeling better soon!!!

[nymphette]

harrison is having noodles for breakfast and he's not very happy about it.... <_< he likes to have plain (white!!:O) bread and water for brekkie, my little jail bird.... seems like that is all he wants in the morning.... hm

i'm not having noodles for breakfast... they smell good, but what i want is a nice cup of coffee and SOMETHNG, ANYTHING to put my honey on!!!!!!! i have been waiting all year for the fall honey- and i ordered two this time because i can't wait that long agian next year!!!! it's so yummy- with goldenrod and asters and other fall flowers.. not a lot of sunflowers this year though they said.. it's okay, it's the goldenrod that makes it so good!!!!

i wanna make biscuits to have it on, but i am out of milk!!!!! wah!!!! so off to the city i guess, gotta pick up a few other things... like bread, for jailbird's breakfasts... sigh... i'd feel better about it if he'd eat multi grain.. i'm going to get whole wheat though and hopefully there isn't too much texture to taht!!!

edited for some of the worst typos... yeah, i know there are still some... but you should have seen the ones i fixed!!!

How hard did he have to twist your arm? :D

I slept very restlessly last night...probably from having the TV on.

I never did get drunk last night, I only have 1 coors light and tequila. One light beer is nothing and I can't even SMELL tequila without wretching.

I talked to my mommy last night and she had gotten a little tipsy as a reaction to my news. She didn't even know in the first place.

[Larrissa]

pelicans! :yay:

and i wish i wouldnt come to the computer to work through my emotional aches, lately it makes it worse. :unsure:

theres one of my cds missing, and im pissed. its gotta be THE ONLY one in my collection i would necessarily notice being gone, the infesticons, ive been craving it for days and finally went to look for it and i cant find it AND HELL. ive never lost a cd before. i dont know. it makes me GRRR. im thinking its in the car. which would be because of my own dumbassness. yes, im upset over not finding a cd. :blink:

[Lorrell]

Dali (http://www.salvadordalimuseum.org)


1 The museum was absolutely marvelous and had some newly aquired pieces ( From Alfred Hitchcock's Estate, bequethed to the museum upon his death) such as "The Eye" which was very dramatic.... and some never before seen surrealistic films that Dali, made which had never been released to the public, one with the Marx Brothers and I really didn't know he was so fond of Harpo he designed a special harp for him. So much art in one day! I'm completely overwhelmed, and inspired. I needed it, because it reminded me that artists are the only people who can make the world change, not these f----- polititians.



2. After studying the manual (yawn ) for about an hour I figured out how to take a picture, and I have some excellent shots from Sunken Gardens...now if I can just get my software act together and get them downloaded I'll be able to show them to you....but don't hold your breath, this computer I'm working with eats everything.

<_< <_<


3. Y :wub:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

oh my nymphette! those are some beautiful boys!

awwww...cant stop smiling

i've spent too much of the day with family and not sleeping.

[Curlita]

Great pic RObyn! Harrison is such a smiley little guy.

I just remembered that I left milk for hot chocolate out on the counter.

I was going to craft this afternoon and have gotten hung up online instead. Bad slacker girl!

I'm so glad you reminded me....I've tried to make it exciting by putting them all in a big box and picking them out one at a time...and then saying something like, "And today's winner is.....


Sometimes I sketch on the envelopes before I send them in,,,little doodles that reflect my despair or joy... :lol:

[Larrissa]

i just spoke to mpurr on the teleephone. :unsure: well! :D and now miss nameless is outside on the phone with her saying god knows what :huh:

im addicted to the tijuana flats place. the place with like 40 hot sauces. driving home with our to go boxes and multitudes of littel hot sauce containers was like just buying a good sack of weed and going home to smoke it. sooooo good. i had to open a few and just lick plain hot sauce on the way home. yes i have this much to say about hot sauce. you just dont understand do you...

people make me feel good. :)

[Larrissa]

oh my

goodness

why jesus why!

[Larrissa]

and now its not even that. a certain female contacted me as well, in a form completely inappropriate, though the rest of her shite wasnt appropriate either, hence why i decided to get involved. <_<

i talked to my mom on the phone, and that was good. and ive got good words from other people too.

the good with the bad its all together and fuckfuckfuck. im hot and stressed out. WORRY.

[bluecrayon]

There were at least 5 people here when I first got here 8 minutes ago.

Now I am here alone.

Should I take this personally????? :( :o :ph34r: :lol:

[Larrissa]

um, no. im insulting mpurr and finding obscene pictures of juice and having livejournal drama

and drinking wine

and i should get up and do stuff, damn me!

[nymphette]

i'm here to play tonight!!! as long as my back can handle sitting here.... <sigh>

i'm the only breeder here right now though, i think- those of us calving in the near future i mean... i should feel all alone i think, the rest of the cattle must have lives...

:ph34r:

[nymphette]

who made this smiley anyhow??? :ph34r:

what the hell is a "ph34r"????

i bet it was james... :P

[namelessgirl]

i would really love to have a kid right now but alas the life timing part of it would be altogether inappropriate. and i seriously question my parenting skills.

i talked to mpurr for the first time in a loooong while and that was super cool. larrissa talked to her too so yay.

i believe fight club is being resurrected :huh:

[nymphette]

parenting skills, shmarenting skills..... come on, jump on the breeder bus!!! you too can be more than just an empty uterus!!! give yourself a purpose...

and a cool name...

'breeder'

[nymphette]

i see lilac here!!! how are you feeling???

i am dying of thirst lately!!! i'm glad i found out my glucose test was fine or i'd be thinking doomed thoughts about gestational diabetes!!!

craving white cream soda now.... sigh... :P

Nymphette, I don't know if Epstein Barr is a problem with all types of transplants. In fact, I didnt even think it was a concern for mine in the first place, until the doctor told me otherwise.

You know, when I first had my transplant, I was the same as you, worried about every little sniffle and concerned about going out in public, because god knew what I could pick up from other people. The more I've lived with this transplant, though, the more I realize that transplant patients are actually pretty tough. I've been exposed to pretty darn near everything there is out there, and I'm still alive and kicking. In fact, I very rarely get sick, which is a miracle in itself because I'm not all that careful about that kind of stuff anymore.

So, what I'm trying to say is - don't fret over every little thing with Harrison. That kid is probably going to be a tough little bugger (after his body gets used to his new liver and all those meds!)

And by the way, your children are beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pictures!!!!

when i joined a (specific to urea cycle disorder) liver transplant discussion board, i looked up everything they had to say about everything and one big thing was the EBV... i knew so much before we had even really decided to look into tx!!! too much really... especially for me, the eternal pessimist and worrier!!!

i really do try not to worry so much, especially about things like that... (his donor's EBV and CMV were both negative, and those were the things i 'let' myself worry about.. :P) he's had a couple of colds and i try not to make it into sucha big thing... or when one of us is sick... it's hard though...

before we even got back home he had went through systemic infection, gastroenteritis and a bowel blockage, and 'mild to moderate' rejection... all in hospital (or BACK in hospital..) so at least i had some experience with what can go wrong while we were in controlled settings.... but he's been so good since we got home...

i just can't wait till he's off all his other meds and 'only' on the tacrolimus and citrulline!!! :o when we got home, he was on almost twice as much medications as he was before the tx!!! how long ago was your transplant- a year or so wsn't it???

wow for technology!!!!!!

[Lilac]

It will be two years this Jan 28'th.

Yeah, technology, double wow!

Harrison is going to be just fine, Robin! In fact, he'll probably be a linebacker for his college football team...well, if he goes to college in the US. You guys don't have football up there in Canada, do you? :huh:

Transplant kids can surprise you! I see some of them when I go in for my check ups, and they are just incredible! So vibrant, so alive...and boisterous!

i hate technology as a rule.. i'd love to pitch this freaking computer (and every nintendo, play station, sega, whatever) out the whindow most days....

but without technology, my boy wouldn't be here.... :wub:

hell, neither would... or me... c- sections both times ya know!!! <_<

[bluecrayon]

my words are sliding back into my pockets

just sitting here in boxer shorts and my ramones tee-shirt

thinking I am very very tired.

[nymphette]

i just realized that i am very tired too.....

this is the longest i have sat at the computer in ages... months....

it was nice...

[Larrissa]

i am amazed at the volume of story and experience people have. it seems tooooooo much for reality to handle.

bedtime. or espresso time. im betting on bedtime. oooh, thoughts making me sleepy.

good lord, hes a babe. and im gonna get called a cuntmuffin, or worse, in the morning, after she reads that. phht.

[Larrissa]

nighty everyone

hope you sleep well

and wake up happy!

[nymphette]

i'm always just happy to wake up... :P

and i should go to bed...

i'll regret sitting this long tomorrow already!!!!

[Lilac]

I should go to bed, too.

I'm just too lazy to get up from this seat. Isn't that patheric?

Oh well...I'll try...maybe

[nymphette]

i am sure i wont' be able to move properly once i finally decided to really get up and leave!!!!! :o

these hips of mine are killing me lately... relaxin hormone's fault....

waddle waddle waddle...... sigh

[tanagee]

Went to my mommy's for dinner. We had blood rare filet mignon, mac & cheese, salad and ice cream for desert.

She bought me some new jammies :wub:

In the course of less than one week I have learned that my 18 year-old niece is snorting Heroin (I didn't even know that was possible), I am having a miscarriage, and my aunt in Oregon has a pituitary tumor and possibly an anyurism. It's them damn threes again!

[hammerquill]

Boy, I gotta agree with Larrissa. There's quite a lot of reality going around.

Hugs to all who need them.

I only vaguely know about Epstein-Barr, but CMV - I was one of those rare CMV-negatives, so once they discovered that at the blood bank, they called me back every eight weeks, on the dot (well, nearly).

It was kinda cool to know that the blood you were donating was special because it was safe for babies.

I wish I could still give blood, but I lived in England for a year, so they won't let me. Such a weird, illogical system they have for exclusions.

[nymphette]

our car was stolen

i'm feeling more than pissed off at this fucking world

shit
