This Fortune Teller LMAO is sucking up printer ink like a Disneyland ho


Who knew there were such similes out there waiting to be used? :unsure:

I've got a lot of cleaning to do this weekend.

There are about ten kinds of radishes at my grocery store.

I'm getting more worried about Robyn... Has anyone actually called her yet?

I cannot figure out the reference to Disneyland hos and printer ink....

Did I miss something?
...or....am I that tired?
...or...does it really not add up?

[Helquin]

It was a rather obtuse reference...

Oh well, that's why I try out new material here first. ;)

Slowpoke (http://www.people.virginia.edu/~jls6c/) is such a hoot! :lol:

[siafu]

the docs said i have an ulcer. lame.

so, i am getting all this natural hippie type care and my medicines include some nastyyyy licorice tabs, apple cider vinegar, and doing exercises called toe drops.

it's better than taking prilosec, i think. the docs were very gentle and non invasive/threatening/doomsaying.

bonus: i got tea tree oil at a great price!

[Christine_0701]

what are toe drops?

I've never used tea tree oil

I've heard it's really good, tho

[siafu]

toe drop: stand on your tiptoes and then let your heel drop back to the floor.

mixed the tea tree oil with aloe and applied

tired; hope i gett to sleep in.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i got a foldable thing-thing from the canadians yesterday....and a threatening letter.

what is space monkey special forces? i missed so much while i was away....

it's too damn early

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i woke up to very soft meowing. i could not locate one of the kitties...

after searching several places that made sense, i ended up finding her in one of the dining room drawers :P the boy did a lot of unpacking yesterday and had the drawers open for about an hour. they're huge drawers at least. they're the kind that are built into the wall. big, old wooden things. the kind of drawers you would use use for your fancy table cloths and napkins....if you were fancy...our drawers are empty. fancy, we are not.

she was in there for at least 12 hours. that's a long damn time....she's fine now though :) her first stop was the litter box. what a good kitty....

I, also, HIGHLY recommend Gwensmom's dentistry. She has been doing my dental work for YEARS. She is wonderful

Don't I look purty... I love "first thang in the mornin' pics"

Edited to add: Larrissa will you marry me???

[namelessgirl]

I have to go wake Larrissa for her first day of Taco Ho-dom. I'm sure she'll be excited to know she already has a marriage request. And that he has an excellent dental plan :P


OK, I am really sick of waking up in pain! This has been going on for a week now and it's terrible, especially in my knees but also in ankles, wrists, and elbows. Getting up and down the stairs is absolute torture and I have NO idea what's causing it. I may have to change my name to "GimpedUpGirl."


I was so naughty last night and quit studying to watch old La Femme Nikita and work on knitting stuff. Since I am the Florida rep for Made With Love By a Liberal (http://www.madewithlovebyaliberal.org). Gawd I am such a freaking dork.

[Larrissa]

okay okay, youre sick peoople. SICK.

but thanks for the humor to start MY DAY OF DOOM.

im supposedly in the space monkey special forces, but i have no idea what that means, other than getting pipes in the mail :unsure:

[Zhenechka]

Have fun at work, Larrissa!

The cat brought us a live mouse last night after midnight.

It got away.

We're peeved. She knows it.

Photobucket sucks!

[Larrissa]

Photobucket is not letting me upload my killer Diwali photos so at the moment, in my little universe, yes, it does suck.

[Larrissa]

if dunglas says yes, i want pictures.

[namelessgirl]

I had to clean the catbox this morning and it got me thinking about the long term effects of exposure to such high ammonia levels. EEEWWWWW.


It's really cold in the gym. It's actually just a huge warehouse, so in summer we fry and apparently in winter we shall freeze. If this keeps getting worse I'm going to start bringing my quilt with me to work and shall be purchasing an electric tea kettle. Brrrrr.


I started a painting a few days ago. I haven't painted in so long. I already hate how it's coming out. Larrissa and I are each supposed to do a painting for the living room and it's really becoming just too much god damned pressure, because hers is all nifty and mine is... not.

[ptichka]

I should really get ready to leave the house, but the bed is just too comfy.

It's really sunny out, which is making me feel even guiltier about being indoors.

Not to mention that there's a mouse somewhere in the apartment, kindly donated last night by the neighbor's cat, and going out would mean getting further away from said mouse.

[velma]

hiya Christine--i see you down there!

we got 6 inches of snow yesterday

we're going out for indian food this afternoon--all-you-can-eat buffet! yum!

everyone's out shovelling & snowblowing and their cheerfulness makes me want to smack them

[Death_Or_Aldona]

so, apparently i'm already a super space monkey....why the threats then? i still worry that there must be something i'm not doing right...

i made yummy noodles with spicy peanut sauce for lunch. wow...it was goooood. lunch, haven't actually had lunch in a while. that's one step closer to having breakfast.

cats are crazy today. ziggy ran outside. we live by a very busy road, so i'm a bit worried. they're all so cazy and hyper lately :P

[velma]

i'm done farting around for now.

must go do something constructive

and get indian food

[namelessgirl]

time to get back to work. i have to tag leos and mail birthday fliers. oh the excitement.


i'm wondering how late i should stay today. everyone else will be gone by noon but i really need the money.


my to do list is huge.

There's nothing going on at work after 12 today. I'm scheduled until 5. It's dull as hell to be here by myself. My boss asked me to stay until 1 but according to my budget I need to stay until at least 3. Staying until 5 would be the smartest thing but I really need to go home and study too so.... 3 it is I suppose. As long as I can last that long =\

I am definitely looking into that electric tea kettle idea. Hot tea would so rock my nonexistent socks right now. My toes are cold!

My boss asked me to re-set the rat traps and I have a problem with that. They don't bother me, I see no good reason to kill them. Luckily I checked the traps and they were already set still so I don't have to do it but I don't have to make a big deal out of it or refuse to do it.

[Lorrell]

1. Don't you hate 70-80 degree weather, it's so mundane.


2. I don't want to go out of the house today, to much to do and I don't like it out there. I wish I didn't have to go, but I'll try to make the best of it. I'm sure it could be worse, so I'll try not to knock anyone over or slap them.


3. People are so annoying and rude, especially these pumped up Rednecks.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. Not because it's mundane but because I honestly think that it sucks. Give me the 60s! I think. Could you convert that into degress celsius?

The cat found the mouse. We heard shrill mousey sounds coming from the living room so we went to trap the mouse under a big bowl. It got away.

The mouse is no where near as cute as Velma's mousey.

[Christine_0701]

80F is 27C

70F is 21C

60F is 16C

waaaay warm ;) right now, I think it's maybe 5C (41F)

[kittymao]

oo, what i wouldn't give for balmy Bay Area weather. Even in the winter the sun can warm you up right nice.

out here though, we're on the backside of a hilly range that on the other side faces monterey bay- so you can see the bay crap rolling in over the hills, you can literally see people disappearing off the streets when the 5 o clock cold front moves in.

I'm thinkng about getting a new winter coat. The $60 wool coat that fits well, or the $60 snowboard jacket that fits okay but totally isn't me?

[namelessgirl]

kittymao, i'd go for the wool coat then.


i'm all alone here now and it's freezing. i need to go look in the car, i think i might have a sweater in there. the only question is whether it's in decently wearable condition :huh:


i'm starving too. maybe i should pay ms larrissa a visit. but oh wait i'm broke. doh.

[dunlinvoid]

Hi people!

1. I am just about as nervous as a person on this site can be

2. I bought a fluffy yellow duster for the first time on our 20th wedding anniversary... and used it to make baby cards :o)

3. I love the comment from the person who loves coffee and icecream but not coffee icecream - substitute chocolate for the coffee and thats me!

[Christine_0701]

welcome dunlivinoid!!

another scotlander (yes, i know that's not the right term, but I like the way it sounds :P)

I'm procrastinating on my homework again...anyone wanna read my finished article? (well, finished first draft)

[kittymao]

Hm. I feel like I should be doing something constructive.

but some of it has to wait until the boy gets home.

I could do SOME of it.

[Christine_0701]

Still procrastinating

got the radio on now

trying to get up to only 2000 posts behind, then maybe i'll go back to my essay (hah! i'll go back before that)

[Larrissa]

i had the HO orientation. it wasnt so sucky. i got paid for it. THO my first paycheck wont be happening till the 29th. :unsure: will i last thT LONG?

Egad. Project Mayhem is drafting its members through the mail now, eh?

When coming from that kind of source the "pipes in the mail" sounds rather sinister...

I was up really late last night, and haven't had my shower yet this morning... afternoon, that is.

Invision has a lot of new emoticons out there that James hasn't got for us yet: http://forums.invisionpower.com/style_emoticons/default/pinch.gifhttp://forums.invisionpower.com/style_emoticons/default/ermm.gif

I am feeling so down today, I'd like to ask Jackie to put a pork chop around my neck and let the dogs play with me. Maybe that would lift my spirits. (Sigh) :rolleyes:



I love doing my laundry, especially when I find somebody else's wallet in it. This is what happens when people borrow your clothes and leave them laying around after they've gone. ;)


But alas, my friends are poor so all that's in it is their smiling face and the plastic they owe on. ha! -_-

[Larrissa]

the pipe! i told you about the metal flat sheet that was then folded according to in structions and become a PIPE. it was cool. ^_^

ive been all pot free for three weeks :blink:

no, im gonna learn how to send people to hell, even if i have to BUILD hell first, and james will be its first member.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

the pipe is wonderful :) i was a bit worried i would cut myself while folding, but i came out of it unharmed.

i kinda wished i hadn't folded it right away and saved it for a traveling occassion

the landlady just stopped by and put blue stuff in our potty :) i don't know why i chose to smile about that....a smile is not often a choice.

ummm, im reeeally hungry for a gordita. and a seven layer burrito. im SO HUNGRY.

Anyone wanna do someting about that, huh?

We thought we heard the mouse in the garbage.

It has since disappeared again.

1.My neighbor had his patio furniture stolen by the roofers that did the hurricane repairs to his roof. What asshats! I told him to file a police report about it, but he's in such a state of FEAR... he doesn't know who to trust anymore. I guess he's right.


2. Senator Bob Graham is the only guy who knows the real story and he's thinking about leaving Floriduh.


3. Anyone who has the nerve to hunt pheasant, while sending others off kill in their name deserves to be an SOB!


What are they thinking...time to go see!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

they are drilling something. they are banging around and making tooooo much noise. it also sounds like they have a dog. there's a weird whining....lets just hope it's a dog....

I'm kind of amazed Robyn stopped to tell us about Harrison on the way to the ER, but it is somehow better to be able to worry in advance or at the same time, rather than just in retrospect. I really hope he's okay.
325482



i was on the phone with his pediatrician's receptionist again.. telling her i can't wait to talk to him, this is what's gong on and i am going to the ER.... then i had to call chris and get him to meet me there....

harrison was acting fine when we left home but within a half hour of getting there, he started going into shock- his pulse was tachy and he had low blood pressure and was white as a ghost, his lips were even greyish, and he was shivering... he ended up needing a blood transfusion then... they gave him two units of blood while we wited to the air ambulance to land in regina... we've been in saskatoon since- i just got home from teh hospital in regina here- he was transferred this afternoon back here to finish his IV antibiotics....

they admitted him in s'toon on tuesday night up on the ped's ward and then he had a scope on wednesday (down his throat into his tummy and the first bit of intestine) and it showed nothing out of the ordinary... then they did a mechel scan which was also normal... which is good i guess.... <_< we'll just neve rknow what caused the bleeding... anyhow, he had a few more diapers with bloody stool in them (sorry, TMI) but his bloodwork was fine after he had the transfusion... he ended up (after the second unit of blood, and pretty well right as the EMT's got to the ER to get us) spiking a fever and he got ONE hive.... so they were worried about the blood having something in it... (though no CMV- it was blood 'for newborns' so had been checked... hurrah for blood donors!!! (reed!)!!!!)

anyhow!!!!

he's in the hospital still and will be until monday night after his last dose of tazacin, as long as everything goes well.... bloodowrk has been consistently good for a few days now and he has only had 'normal' diapers for almost 48 hours, so.....

i'm home

i'm tired and worn out

my ankles are swollen up to my mid thighs... <_< sigh

wanted to catch up here, but i think i have about seven minutes left in me before i need to be horizontal... i'm sorry i couldn't catch all y'all up but there was no compute rin the hospital for me (cutbacks) and the one at ronald mcdonald house was out of commision because people are asses...... <_< i will be back later to say hi and figure out if anythig i just typed made sense... :P i'm glad you all missed me but i wish i hadn't had to be GONE!!!!!

[hammerquill]

Yow. That sounds scary.

You're everyone's hero in these parts, Robyn.

And when Harrison's old enough to understand, he's going to be really, really impressed, too. Especially when he has kids.

[Christine_0701]

well thank God he's doing ok!!!

and it's ok that you weren't able to catch us up because it was unpreventable...now, if you had had access and hadn't updated us :spank: lol but we'll forgive you this time ;)

now you get to bed, and get some rest, I'm sure you need it!

japanese noodles at 2 am sounded like a good idea....they were tasty, but now my tummy hates me.

i fell asleep and missed a phone call from the canadians :( i guess cryptaesia got to see skinny puppy! i must hear all about it...i'm envious :P it doesn't look like I'll be able to make it to the columbus show. grrrr. i've been waiting sooooo long for this opportunity. this will be the 3rd time i've missed them on this tour.

Robyn - you are definately a hero! And Hammerquill's right, Harrison is going to be so awed by you when he gets older! I'm in awe of you! I don't know how you do what you do. :wub:

old dirty bastard died? awww. i was so down with odb cuz yeah you know me. :P

last night i looked at my bank account, the calendar, and when bills were due vs. what days i get paid. the final result was me saying "oh fuck" over and over again, feeling short of breath, and resisting the urge to bang on larrissa's door so we could cry.

i think it's time to start buying scratchoff lotto tickets.

Awww, Nameless! Been there myself.

I should be working on Anti Bush ATC's. They were supposed to be at Gingersmack's tomorrow. I'll only be sending them out tomorrow. I suck. <_<

[Death_Or_Aldona]

we're in a bit of financial trouble right now as well :( it's best not to worry. these things have a way of working out. i don't know how exactly, but they do...i'm sorry you have to be all stressed and shit. how crappy.

yeah, sucks about ODB. oh baby i like it raw. oh baby i like it raaaaw. yeah. he was pretty cool....

Thanks Lilac. "This too shall pass....gas." Oh and you freaked me out because I'm on that same project. I just checked the page and the ATCs are supposed to be postmarked by Nov 25th girl, so slow down and procrastinate more!!!! :D

I need to remember to drag Larrissa to the social security office on monday. that's right folks, i'm cashing her in for new dentures.

this was the funniest thing in an article i just read about Ol' Dirty Bastard:
"When MTV News followed him around at the height of his popularity, he took the camera crew and several of his kids (he was said to have more than a dozen, by numerous mothers) to the welfare office -- in a limousine -- to get an allotment of food stamps.

And he received them."

I wonder if *I* qualify for food stamps?? :huh:

Whew!~ Glad to hear that! I don't know why I had Nov. 15'th in my head. Oh wait...shit...it must be another LMAO due tomorrow then! Yikes!

Ha! I remember when Dirty Old Bastard did that welfare scam! Wasnt he later arrested or fined for that! What balls! Gotta applaud the guy, though!

How did he die?

[Death_Or_Aldona]

he died of "unknown causes" he had been complaining about chest pains earlier in the day. i guess it was all very sudden

sometimes i like to call him big baby jesus

i need to wake the boy up. he gets very angry when i wake him :P

[Larrissa]

amazingly enough, i didnt kill him.

i amuse myself way too much.

cat poop.

[Lilac]

Ah damn. The heathen mother has to go pick up her kid at church in a couple minutes.

Then we're goin out to lunch...to the flea market and to see Team America. Yuck.

That's the way to raise your kids. Send them to church and them take them to see dirty puppet sex afterwards.

[Larrissa]

ACk! team america was baaad. and dirty. yes.

i have to eat a feast before work

i should be eating not typing

[Lilac]

yep. I know it was bad. And dirty.

I'm a bad, dirty mom for allowing my son to see it.

It's at the cheap theater, though. I won't feel guilty for walking out halfway through!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i had a dream last night that doritos made bannock flavored chips

i have no idea what bannock tastes like, but i enjoyed the chips in my dream

i don't have enough facts....

What the hell was that, Larrissa? :lol:

[Death_Or_Aldona]

awww. it's littlest-bee's birthday today

that's some fancy gibberish you have there miss larrissa. what does it all mean?

i think i need to shut up now. my brain is stupid today....

[namelessgirl]

DOA, you have been added. whether you like it or not :P

we had a huge freakout here before i dropped larrissa off at taco ho-dom. all we could hear was drip drip drip and we were like oh shit is the tub leaking AGAIN?? so we all quick moved the stuff out of the closet and then i ran her to work. i came home expecting to be mopping up puddles but i went upstairs and it turns out larrissa had left the shower on after she showered and that was the dripping we were hearing. SILLY GOOSE!!!!! now i have to put all this shit back in the closet.

actually now i have to study. that's really the most important thing right now. holy shit i want some caffeine. maybe i should take my last two dollars and go bug larrissa at lunch.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

aw, you have been added as well. prepare to be bored.

i'm not cleaning. i'm not unpacking.

i should be doing stuff. i'm much too easily sidetracked...

[gwensmom]

OMG Robyn, I am so sorry about what you have just been through! I can't believe they cant find out why poor Harrison was bleeding.

Sounds like your quick action saved his life!

Bridget Jones II was funny but not as good as the first one. It didn't stick with the book much. This time the characters were more one-dimensional and cartoonish. But I liked it because I laughed a lot and because of Colin Firth. *drool*

[namelessgirl]

I hate having to ask for help. It's never been something I'm good at it, especially when it concerns money.

Namelessboy keeps texting me and says he will call later. Hmm.

I should call and see how my grandma is doing.

[Larrissa]

that gibberish is called "queries" and you may never know my secret. its a favorite way to express my angst. :unsure:

WORK. it was work. my hands smell like taco sauce.

what the holy hell else? i dunno. ignore me :ph34r:

[Larrissa]

i asked derekthehighdhoolstudent what the was hell wrong with him ... he messaged me first :huh:

and i found the canadian guys journal, by accident. and its weirding me out. am i supposed to say "dude i found your journal" and sound like a scary stalker person? no. i didnt think so.

i have a new hobby. hijacking peoples livejournal comments threads.

[Helquin]

ack: family member with small children threatening to visit for Thanksgiving.

During the phone conversation, her youngest cried in the background for a solid 15 minutes.

I'm afraid.

Help!

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i like scary stalker people....they make me feel special. as long as they don't show up at my door shaking tic tacs in my face and yelling about bad perms and the evil of beauty salons. not that that has ever happened to me...i'm just saying....you know....it would kinda suck.

i sleep in the middle of the day tooooo often

i think there was something i was supposed to do today. hmm...

[Christine_0701]

I finished my braided essay, and editied other people's articles

I need to write my Truth essay, and edit my travel piece, and find a definition of a prose poem, and a prose poem I like

I've been taking a break from homework for 4 hours now

[Christine_0701]

I really ought to get back to my homework

I think i'll go search out prose poems, that's easy enough

Plus, it's due tomorrow, the other 2 aren't due till thursday, so I can use tuesday to do that

[Christine_0701]

I found a prose definition and poem in one: http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/cannam/poem.html

Now to procrastinate more

It's a wonder I ever get any homework done :P

[Lilac]

I didnt take the kid to see Team America after all. Nope. Too mature for him. We'll go see Polar Express next weekend.

We did go out to lunch and to the flea market. I bought a couple old postcards that I thought I could maybe use in a few ATC's.

Them we just pretty much hung around here.

[Larrissa]

im DOING my latelatelate nness projects. we are having a do yer shit night at the kitchen table, shes studying, im painting. i hate these jam postcards :mellow:

and now, im on my merry way to tell these people WHAT I REALLY THINK. oh trust me, its not flattering.

DoA is a journal hijacker. i told mister D i found his journal. the other person whose journal is being hijacked accused me and the other hijacker of being the same person. nope, sorry.

[Helquin]

I thought Team America was a cartoon...? :huh: "Too mature." Hmmm... What a world.

I'm finally done printing all the color pages for the Fortune Teller LMAO. Now I've just got to do a QA check before I start binding booklets...

My discipline/schedule/whatever is shot for today. I'm gonna watch Desperate Housewives and pickle my brains.

I'm really stressing about this litter of pups trying to crash my house on Thanksgiving. I have to think of a plan! Otherwise it's just me on the porch with a broom. I think they'll outnumber me. :(

[Lilac]

Oh, poor dear Helquin! I don't even want to tell you how much grief you're in for when these huns invade your house!

Unless, of course, they're very well behaved!

As much as I love my nephews, I cringe when they come to my house because something always gets broken or someone gets hurt or something gets killed.

[Lorrell]

1. I'm glad to know Robyn and Harrison are OK. :)


2. My Sunday was rather uneventful other than going up to Haines City with V. to see a play, then to the mall where I bought a new shower curtain and V. got a really nice watch on sale and some bath towels which I had to help her color coordinate. Then we went to Garfield's for dinner.


3. The play was "A Bad Year For Tomatoes" and was pretty funny. The stage manager also works full-time as a cake decorator.

[Larrissa]

"something gets killed" .... thats takes my mind of the horrendousness of dick cheneys dick, thanks. oh holy lord of all creation, WHY.

my hands are all painty and i keep forgetting im supposed to get up to make dinner and give missy the computer :o

i enjoy causing trouble

They visited for Christmas 2 years ago & I found out that my house is like an amusement park for little kids. Except that nothing is childproof and a lot of those brightly colored things are toxic, sharp or flammable.

This is why family gatherings should be scheduled for months when it's warm enough to meet outdoors. :D

All Things Considered just ran a piece on the new Sheriff of Dallas County, a Hispanic Lesbian Democrat. :blink:

There may be hope for that state yet.

We are watching our local PBS affiliate's "Art and Antiques" Auction. Most of the stuff is not worth looking at, but every once in a while something really good comes up.

30 more minutes until the babysitter gets here!

[Cuilanië]

I missed something there.

I'm glad Harrison is recovering, but jeez. That kid deserves a break...

Taxi in 6 hours. Plane in 9,5. :wub:

[gwensmom]

:rofl: LaRRissa you are killing me!

This reminds me of Neto. Fortunately he didn't last long.

My neck hurts.

[Christine_0701]

awww, I'm happy/excited for you Eve!!!

I really ought to quit procrastinating

I'm as bad as my teacher...but instead of digressing about digressions, I'm procrastinating about procrastinating

[Larrissa]

i have the power, but its just not BoD power. its the power of maniacal evil :devilish:

thats all i have to say

[Lorrell]

1. I guess Diche thought "pheasant under glass" would be nice for the holidays. The old dog can't hunt, Huh?


2. J called me and complained about all the freight trains he's caught, as though I have any control over the railroad schedule. There's nothing I can do about it, I'm not CSX :wacko:


3. We have 2 Taco Bells here, but I never go near them. They reak of dead meat and rankism. B)

[Death_Or_Aldona]

the boy's response to dick's dick: "it's not that big of a deal" :huh:
he didn't shudder or anything....can you say desensitized?

my inhaler make me kinda loopy :blink:

i have this fear that all of my posts will be followed by candy striped terror. i deserve it though. she called me an asshead, when she totally could have called me an asshat. does this mean she likes me?

[namelessgirl]

Gwensmom, my vote is a "yes, hands down, and maybe even banning user just because i'm :evil: " but i'll wait and see what my other bod cohorts think.


hello silly namelessgirl! why are you not studying?

ok, i'm going. really.






:P

[Cuilanië]

Eve has things to do before she leaves, like eating dinner and re-packing her luggage.

Eve is instead glued to this rented computer.

:poke::poke: Go away, Eve.

[Cuilanië]

That post was brought to you by the little voice in my head.

I'm not listening.

Not yet.

[Cuilanië]

Okay, okay, I'm going...

:wave:

Good night, everyone!

[kamoke]

yehaw!

I'm having a great time yall!

Hello Kamoke!!!

I miss your pictures!

I miss you, too!

That's all.

Robyn is great! All hail Robyn!

I'M NOT WORTHY!!! I'M NOT WORTHY!!!! oh my lord!!!! :unsure:

he' doing good still but is breaking my heart every time i go home.. l;eave his room.... or go into the bathroom to pee... or look like i might be leaving.... <_< it's gong to take another 2 months to break him of the SUCKINESS!!!!! AGAIN!!!!!!

i just about had both my kids back to 'normal' and less than a week of this and it's already chaos here and there!!!!!!!!

[Lilac]

Oh Nymphette...I'm just glad to hear that Harrison is okay.

You're one tough cookie and one incredible mother.

You'll have everything back to normal soon enough!


:wub:

[Larrissa]

i was SUSPENDED for an hour. "for being a spammer, yo" :lol: it sucked SO MUCH.

yes the gesso is cleaned up :)

love to you all. i missed you terribly during that hour :D

[namelessgirl]

I was on the phone when Larrissa found out she was suspended and, I'm not kidding, she started *screaming and moaning* and then ran up the stairs to accost me and accuse me even though I had nothing to do with it and was heading downstairs to see who the hell had died. Goofy girl!!!

I am so in need of some motivation. I really don't know what to do with myself. I'll shut up before I start whining uncontrollably.

I wish I could wake up tomorrow and have everything be okay.

[hammerquill]

Damn. I just noticed I left this thing online for the past two hours while I was cleaning.

I'm not sure anyone's added it up, but Eve is getting in a taxi at 2:30 in the morning to get to the airport two hours before a ridiculously early plane. :wub:

My apartment's unnaturally clean again. There seems to be no middle state between unnaturally clean (though not on, say, my grandmother's scale) and the usual horrendous obstacle course.

[Gingersmack]

I'm up.
I'm here.
I'm... errr... well, not that. It's quiet.

Enjoy your time together!!! (I'm sure you will ;))

wow. i totally forgot that i had. at first i didn't believe you. i had to go back and actually check.

i'm hearing weird noises coming from above my ceiling. i think it must be kids who found the unlocked attic door at the top of the emergency stairs. my friend showed me it just last night.

for some stupid reason the door is unlocked and it takes you through the attic and up another flight of stairs where you end up on top of the roof with a fantastic view of the atlanta skyline. it's pretty crazy, and i'm sure it will be short lived.

[Gingersmack]

Have a fire going.
The telly is off.
Have a new mix to burn, overdue for GSF.

[namelessgirl]

Is it wrong to mess so much with the new people?

I think I might have offended Lemur with my flying lemur picture. Sorry!

The cat is nutty tonight and keeps trying to open the kitchen cabinets.

[lemur]

Messing with new people is fun

Namelessgirl's picture did not offend me because it is a flying squirrel anyway

I always knew larrissa was a spammer

[namelessgirl]

That person's site SO said it was a flying lemur!!!!!

This guy is making me angry.

Can't control SUSPEND finger much longer.

[/b][/quote]
Which rather stretches my definition of "mature," but anyway...

I have this great book, Conversations on the Plurality of Worlds, which came out in the seventeenth century, and which is a free-flowing speculation on what other planets might be like, and whether one can get there, and who might live there.

I got a beautiful 1820 copy of it, with engraved illustrations and all, out of the UCBerkeley library to look up a quote some months back, and I don't want to return it.

Luckily, if no one else asks for it, I can keep renewing it for quite some time.

[siafu]

wow. that sounds like an interesting book for sure.

tomorrow i'm turning in a request for a bar grant

tuesday, my stepson will be here.

[hammerquill]

One of the cool things about the book is that it's framed as a conversation - in the manner of Socratic dialogues, and Galileo's treatises - but in this case it's between an astronomer and an interested and highly educated duchess. Quite unusual to have a woman in such a role in such a book.

The quote I had to look up in it is kind of amazing, too, since it has to do with people doing successful if limited experiments with flying. In the mid-seventeenth century.

I've long wondered how old paper airplanes are. I wonder if anyone could figure that out.

[siafu]

what was the duchess's name?

what was the quote?

we have pumpkin ice cream.

[hammerquill]

Now I am wondering what a bar grant is. Will it advance you more quickly to esquirrity?

I've also been wondering what the newfangled Oregon law against gay marriage has to say about ones that took place before it was enacted, or if that just gets decided in court...

I should stop sitting here; my sciatic nerve is angry with me.

[siafu]

yeah. get up and do a little jig.

well, i don't think they can undo it. they think they can't.

a bar grant means i get my application fee back, and they pay for one of my review courses. i think yes, it is an advancement toward esquirrity.

[hammerquill]

Hm. Excuse me. It was merely a Marchioness, and a Countess in the first English translation. She's fictional in any case, and is just called Mme la Marquise de G***. The footnote here says it was partly based on a real person, Mme de la Mesangère, about whom I know nothing.

The quote, in translation, is:
"We may do more than imagine the thing to be possible," I replied, "We have already begun to fly; several persons, here and there, have found the secret to fitting wings to themselves, of setting them in motion, so that they are held up in the air and are carried across streams, or to fly from one steeple to another. . . . The art of flying is only just being born; it will be perfected, and some day we will go as far as the moon."

Two of siafu's facts were just questions.

{edited to remove misattribution of translation}

[siafu]

cool. i thank you.

i have bagged a bunch of my clothing for thrifting.

more. must bag more.

[siafu]

we did go as far as the moon.

but some people think it was a government fraud.

they crack me up.

[Lorrell]

1. I really don't like the idea of them walking around up there. It's bad enough what they have done down here. I can just imagine some fiend getting up there with some zappo death ray and shooting it back to earth.


2. I'm informed we have another El Nino thingie happening in the gulf so it's going to be balmy this winter.


3. Woke up very hungery this morning, must have some tea and waffles before I'm out the door.... :rolleyes:

I've always loved novels/treatises/etc that take place in N** in the year 18** and feature Mme la Marquise de G***.

[namelessgirl]

today i get to go buy a new bed! the $99 metal futon jobbie from MallWart. it's my christmas present from my mom. my current futon has been with me since senior year of high school and is molded on the bottom so i have to periodically soak it in lysol. i'm excited to finally have a bed with a FRAME so i'm not sleeping at floor level. bad feng shui.

madame larrissa needs a ride to work later this morning but i'm gonna see if i can shanghai her into going and helping me load the bed in my car first.

I slept pretty badly last night actually but at least the pain in my knees isn't too terrible this morning. Now to scrounge for breakfast.

(Bonus for DOA: once i was a treehouse)

[gwensmom]

I am reading the derek threads at work and trying not to spew my tea on the monitor.

Robyn, when will Harrison get to come home? Are we ever going to find out mungo bean's sex or will it just have to be a surprise?

"My kid's the hospital" - yeah, a likely excuse.

[velma]

Good morning all! I actually got up about and hour & half ago, but one has to have one's coffee, followed by one's cigarette, y'know...

I had bad dreams last night.

I'm reading a really good book--a graphic novel by Art Spiegelman called "In the Shadow of No Towers"--it's about the destruction of the WTC and the insanity that followed.

I have to buy some pants today. Oh damn, I have to go shopping! ;)

[nymphette]

still no date for the next ultrasound.. and is baby too big by now to be able to see anyhting???? :o but i do have my next prenatal appt, with the obgyn who will do the section... so i will find out more about when i'll be able to have the baby....

i still odn't fel either way- if it's a girl or a boy... maybe that mens it's a girl because with both the boys i knew they were going ot be boys....

holy typos batman

[nymphette]

and HOPEFULLY hrrison will be able to come home today.. i have to find out when his last IV antibiotic dose is and hopefully he'll be able to leave after!!!

the nursing staff is not very competent in regina.. i may have mentioned a beef or two with them in the past on here... <_<

they haven't improved in the past two years eitehr.....

either

[velma]

It's easier to spot those boys in and ultrasound!

I don't remember having one for my first kiddo.

I wrote 2 poems Saturday night--something I haven't done in a while...

Colin Powell's going to resign.

It's a pity he won't be leaving with his integrity intact.

I think that I'd miss her.

Maybe we could get lemur to post twice as much to make up for Larrissa's absence?

Nah, I'd rather have them both.

[velma]

Lookie all the peoples down there! :wave:

You must have logged on in your sleep and read dereks threads.

What are dereks threads? :blink:


One of my favorite books is the Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry, but they left out Rilke--blasphemy!

What would we do without Nness? :wub:

I seem to be asking questions, tsk tsk...

[Larrissa]

oh &#^&%@(*@$@!!!

[velma]

Good morning to you too, Larrissa! :lol:

[Larrissa]

oh fuck this and everything

and hot hell

you would think i would normally find it funny

BUT IM HAVING A HARD DAY

[velma]

Sorry to hear you're having a bad day, Larrissa.

Is there anything I can do to make it better?

My hands are cold.

[Larrissa]

naw, theres nothing to be done.

it just hurts

somedays, to be alive.

wouldnt you agree?

[velma]

Yes, I'd agree.

If it's any consolation, it gets better after your twenties...

We're all just blips in the cosmos anyway...

[Larrissa]

yes yes perspective. thats it.

if im just a blip, im gonna go upstairs and make art.

but i have bills to pay :mellow:

im such a wuss, i know, i know.

[Larrissa]

my eggs are green

too bad my sandwich is turkey and not ham

I thought up a really cool opening 2 lines, and that's my "start" I also know the ending, too :lol:

We can trade. I'll write the middle of your essay if you'll write the middle of my thesis. There's only about 100 pages to go.

I have to leave the house but I don't wanna!

[Christine_0701]

:lol: nah, i'll stick with my thousand words...chopped down now to probably 800?

I like the norton anthology of Poetry, but I like my anthologies of canadian poetry better :P

Canadian poets are both horrendous, and wonderful

[Helquin]

I'm a blip.

I thought all poets were horrendous and wonderful.

My grandmother is going to help me fend off relatives with lots of young children. There may be hope yet.

I'll have to see how hard she can swing a broom...

[namelessgirl]

Helquin, hockey sticks work pretty well for that chore too, especially for sliding infants off your front porch :D

I don't want to study.

I mailed three packages today and completely cleaned out my stamp reserves. Now what? Waaah.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

i am completely out of stamps as well :P need to fix this SOON

the taboo, offensive art journal arrived today. oh golly....i don't even know what to do with it

just how much do people hate it when you use magazine images in collage? oh dear...i'm stumped.

[siafu]

itt's eleven

my hairs not brushed

i have no food

no recommendation.

but damn. i read this thread

:falls flat out:

[Zhenechka]

I've had too much caffiene and am now feeling violent.

I almost kicked another adult.

I should probably just go for a run.

[namelessgirl]

That was fun :evil: Bye bye Derek. Or at least for the next three days. Do you think he'll learn?

I have to work in an hour. Blah. Don't worry, I will be online from there too, procrastinating twice as hard.

Oh the dishes are piling up. I know what *i* am doing tonight.

[Death_Or_Aldona]

he better learn his lesson. or else......

ack dishes. i just finished mine in a lazy half-ass "i i swear i didn't notice those cups sitting there" kinda way

hm. now what?

[Christine_0701]

no, some poets are amazingly brilliant

and some of them are canadian poets

but most canadian poets, I love and hate at the same time

[zanna]

today i finally declared my major.

i applied as undecided so i thought i might as well go turn in the official form and stuff.

officially and crap: zanna will be majoring in film and video and minoring (because my major requires me to do so) in history.

fun times.

[chunkymonkey]

real quick in place of a big dramatic thread. :)

my mom kicked me out due to her stopage of medicine taking for her manic depression. She's int he hospital now. I'm without keys, possessions, and a clue. :blink:

When I say kicked I mean police at 5 am dragging me out of bed. Cops can be real assholes. Word of advice, always make sure your name is on the lease even if you are dealing with someone you trust; even if you have all the utilities on in your name.

I'm at my aunt's for a week or two, going to sell my stuff whenever I can get into the apartment to get it, and am moving on to bigger and better things. Will be ok, but am stressed out. Working out of the library when I can get down here, which is about every other day.

love :P

[Lorrell]

1. My nails are completely destroyed from yesterday's piano jamming, I gotta do a manicure and lubrication before I play again.


2. Some people have no restraint when it comes to keyboards.


3. I don't know what ethnic cuisine I want to have tonight so maybe I'll borrow Velma's recipe (I have some asparagus) and make a pineapple pie. :wub:

[Christine_0701]

I was wondering where you had gotten off to, Veronica

Hope things work out for you okay

I'm taking a break from writing my essay

[nymphette]

i just found out chris 'forgot' to stop by my doc's and get my 2 prenatal papers i need (NEED) before tomorrow's appt with new OBGYN.... after i was going to do it but he had to go up to that end of hte city anyhow and said 'no, i'll do it, it's okay'.........

and i got home today and found out that he 'forgot' to cancel harrison's appts for this AM with his PT, OT and dietician..... so there was a message on the machine saying 'oh, did you mix up the times????' <_<

i am cursing him and not silently.... what a freaking hassle it is to try to depend on help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Christine_0701]

awww, I'm sorry Robyn

Will you be able to get the papers before tomorrows appointment?

How;s Harrison doing? Any word on his return home?

[Lorrell]

1. It's such a pain to come to the realization that other people will never be as responsible for your well being, it's really up to you and to depend on any human being is a trap. <_<

2. It would be nice if you could depend upon others for a helping hand but I've found that nine times out of ten, people screw it up when you drop the ball in their court. :angry:


3. Now when any one offers help, I realize they are trying to show their concern, love, affection, but I KNOW how easy good intentions become disasters and then I usually have to step in and make the necessary corrections anyhow, so why bother, I just politely refuse now and get on with it myself :P

[nymphette]

harrison is home.. .it's beena LONG day... i gave full benefit of the doubt to the regina hospital staff, but.......

yesterday i told hte charge nurse and TWO OTHER nurses that they had to contact barb at the peds outpatient clinic to get the req for harrisons weekly bloodwork- and that they would have to call first thing in the morning becuse they have to take his bloodowrk BEFORE he gets his tacrolimus at 9 am- that it has to be done around 8:45... three nurses were aware of this....

today at 10 am they tell me 'we are just about to get his bloodwork done, we just got a fax back from the peds outpt clinic with his form...' i said 'that was supposed to be done first thing this morning! you can't take his tacro level now, it isn't at a trough level an hour after he gets it, it has to be done before!'..

"oh. we didn't know that.'

:angry: me: 'yes you did, i told two nurses yesterday, and a charge nurse and they all said they would make sure it was done properly!!! i specifically went to the desk to tell them!!!' :angry:

and then he was supposed to get his last IV meds at 1:00 and they started late becuse the nurse 'had to' do rounds (even though he had TWO NURSES doing his cre today!!!!!!) and then it ws supposed to run for an hour and i had to go to the nursing station at 3 pm and sy 'isn't he supposed to be done?????' and when his nurse finally came she said 'oh, i forgot all about his meds running.'.....

:angry: :ph34r: :angry: :ph34r: :angry:

i gave them a chance, thinking 'this is the peds ward, not the nicu or the er and it's different staff and things might be better than the shit we've had to put up with the past 2 years.....

i was wrong.
last chance too, nex ttime something happens, i double check and second guess EVERYTHING they do.... screw standing back and letting htem do their job on the assumption that they can do it properly.

yes, i am in a bad mood...

but my baby's home... i should be happy... he is... :P

but not yet.

i have a couple more compulsive checks of things to do :huh:

[ebandit]

I wonder when Velma will post some more interesting pictures

I need to post some pics from my Orchid show shoot.

I don't know squat about orchids..but I was in the building and saw the orchids so I asked if I could take photos!

[Larrissa]

all i know about orchids is the word "orchid" means "testes" in latin, i think its latin.

my chest hurts. im blaming angst, not caffiene. do not challenge my opinion.

real life drama is being alive.

[velma]

damn! i have some pictures. excuse me while i run off and copy them to my computer!

[Helquin]

Chest pain may also be grief.

I suffered quite severe chest pain for a few months after my husband's death.

Be good to yourself.

[Larrissa]

thanks.

1. LaRRiSSa, Orchids are from the family of plants known as Orchidaceae. The Greek word "orchis" means testicle. It's the tuberous root of some of the species that resemble a testicle, not the flower...I just wanted to clear up any confusion you had in your mind about that.


2. You have to have Greek and Latin if your going to study Botany. Then if you use a botanical name for a plant, most people won't know what the hell you are talking about, so you have to know the common name (and sometimes there are several) as well as the difference between cryptogams and phanerogams, families, species, varieties, etc.


3. There is much amusement in the strange and wondrful language known as "Botanical Latin",every plant has a little story to tell about itself.

yeah. the ache turned into tears turned back into what i guess could be denial. i got some art done with it though ...

its so incredibly awkward to tell someone you just met on AIM bye when youre not signing off immediately :mellow:

1. In Greek the word for ass is onos


2. It's just a little boring right now.


3. So sorry :blink:

i have this thing

where if i worked that day

it feels like i did my part of "have to's" and shall get nothing else done.

I think that these Greek vocab lessons are cool. Bring it on!

I'm getting over my assedness.

And I'm worried about Larrissa. Virtual hug?

[Larrissa]

i can grudgingly accept one, from you. nobody else try it. ^_^

im okay.

I think this timer should have to pause for pee breaks. <_< I'm gonna have to get organized and bargain with the management around here...

I forgot I got my hair cut today and kinda scared myself in the bathroom mirror. It's a pretty severe haircut. :blink: I hope no one thinks I'm part of some weird hillbilly militia.

I only have 11 minutes left. This timer is sucking all of the joy out of my life.

It may win the battle, but I'll win the war...
