[CoasterMatt]

Is this considered an honor or congratulatory effort of some sort?

Is it you and 400 other employees enjoying an "intimate" meeting with the boss or is it just a couple of youse?

The conference room only holds about 15 people, and I think it's a bit of an honor. It's pretty neat knowing that the GM started with the company sweeping up animal poop.

[blueerica]

My fingers smell like onions.

Thought you'd like to know.

[CoasterMatt]

Do your onions smell like fingers?

[JWBear]

Mine smell like soap.

[blueerica]

I'll have to check, CM.

[BarTopDancer]

Stainless steel removes the smell of onion and garlic from the skin.

I used to rub my hands in my old sink.

I bought the HP book at the grocery story today. However, I'm reading another book at the moment, so it will have to wait.

As does Boraxo powdered hand soap, which comes in an old-skool Comet cleanser type cannister with a picture of a little covered wagon. And fun skincare tip- my stepmom told me that her dermatologist recommends it for exfoliating your face. You'll have the smoothest skin! I keep a cannister on my sink. :)

Okay, I'm going to be honest here. I have a certain song stuck in my head...

How many of y'all listen to the lyrics of a song while it's playing and hear something entirely different? I'm actually embarrassed (me of all people) to admit this:

I have a Disneyland 50th Anniversary CD that I just love and one of the songs featured on the CD is the Splash Mountain attraction theme. EVERYTIME I listen to the music of Splash Mountain (you know, the "How'dya do?" song) there is a line that I'm pretty sure says "pretty good sure as your born".

I SWEAR it sounds just like "pretty good show us your bone", which is what I always sing when the song is playing. Of course, I giggle the minute "bone" passes my lips. Heehee. Brer Rabbit said "bone".

If that's the case, and I don't think it is, then that Brer Rabbit is some disturbing, voyeuristic pervo. When I'm jostling about merrily on a flume attraction, I don't want to see random bones poking about as guests drop trou, you know? One thing you must know about me- I offend way easily.You can tell by my posts. ;) :p

Now, does anybody else swear they hear different lyrics in certain songs? Sometimes when you find out what the actual lyrics are you tend to wonder how you ever thought they could be anything different!

[Kevy Baby]

I've come to be in the habit when making a long post (not that I ever do, I'm shy) hitting control-a, control-c before hitting the post button. 15 years of losing posts to some cause has made it a good habit to have.

I do this. One time as I was singing away I realized I'd never better do it in front of my music friends. All I could hear was 'Poseur!!' {is that the word/spelling?}

Glad to see you posting, last time I was around NA said you were in bed sick and she was plotting...

Oh, wait, I mean, Glad to see you posting. :D

{I'm kidding, I forgot what the topic was but you were asleep and sick.}

[€uroMeinke]

Being a Poseur has become a side-aspiration for me.

Yes, I'm healthy again - and at least for the moment - not at work.

Long Live the Internet

[MouseWife]

LOL Well, good luck with that goal! ;)

Hey, you'd better not be at work, it is late! {at least I hadn't realized some of your work kept you this late? I'd think you'd try and get in bed quick before it is taken over by cats....}

Oh yes, while the internet may be the way some find ways to steal others, I love how it can keep us all connected and informed.

Glad you aren't sick anymore. :)

When the movie ClockWatchers came out (kids movie, a few years ago), the song that always played in the commercials was Smashmouth's Holiday. The line is, "Holiday in my head." For some reason I always heard, "Holiday in my pants."

She had her follow-up visit yesterday with the doc. In addition to find and removing the endometriosis (this is a good thing – had there not been any would have been bad), they also found a fibroid tumor. They were able to remove most of the tumor, but not all of it (the tumor was benign). It is possible/probable that the tumor was also contributing to the cramps. It is possible that if the tumor grows back that she will have to have a hysterectomy down the road. There is also conversation of six months of hormone therapy (putting Susan into a temporary/artificial menopause), but that will be determined after a visit to a fertility specialist. Right now we are waiting for the approval to visit the fertility specialist.

Not to make light of your situtation, I'm not, but I think an offering should be made at the Tiki Room to the various gods, it can't possibly hurt! I'll be happy to lead the charge in September.

I blame that bitch Ally, too. ;) Because of her, er, me I have been working in my office all day, singing under my breath, "pretty good show us your bone". Damn!! It won't go away!!

Look at me, cruisin' and pumpin' Splash Mountain attraction music, whilst singing and looking like the town douche. :( ;)

Kevy~ please send Susan my love, lots of hugs and muchas smoochas! She is such an amazing person and I'll keep her in my prayers! ♥♥

Why thank you! :D And thank you for the link!! I wanted to search online (I'm always searching for lyrics online) but I didn't think I'd ever find that song!

Of course, I had to read along and sing the lyrics outloud. You know, it truly is a catchy & pleasant little number. However, I still would prefer Brer Rabbit asking us to whip out our bones. Well, those that actually have bones to whip out. :D

[Snowflake]

Snowflake, can we get more details about your avatar (and comment)?

Sadly, it was not me who sold the poster. Heritage Auctions in Texas (www.ha.com) had the poster in their most recent sale, with buyers premium it hammered at just over 38k. The estimate was a conservative 6-8k.

Poster prices have been going higher and higher and while I have 3 Valentino related posters, I can't imagine any of the 3 I own would come even remotely close to what The Eagle sold for. If they were to garner close to that, heck, I might be able to buy a condo with a good down payment! ;)

I'll change my comment, though, it's was not me who sold. I was not even in the run for the bidding. A friend of mine in Baltimore (who collects Douglas Fairbanks and has many beautiful posters) placed a bid of 6k on it. Needless to say, she didn't come close to getting it.

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Sadly, it was not me who sold the poster

oh bummer! I was hoping you sold it!

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Poster prices have been going higher and higher and while I have 3 Valentino related posters, I can't imagine any of the 3 I own would come even remotely close to what The Eagle sold for.

I'm sure you will hold on to them, and you never know how much they will be worth someday. They aren't making them anymore.

We'll deal with it as it comes. Susan actually told me the news with glee that she was even having the surgery - she was very much looking forward to not having the bad cramps each month.

And we actually did a (Wiccan) ritual blessing for her the night before the surgery.

It's been such an odd day. There was a drug-deal-gone-bad shooting in a neighborhood I was going to visit, it's hotter than HELL (my car said 94, Yahoo said 86- I believe my car), my face has started twitching again, I learned a friend is getting a divorce, I narrowly missed gettingin a car accident, and I have a general bad feeling about the day in general - like waiting for the other shoe to drop. I think I'm going to stay home for the rest of the day and pretend I am in a cocoon.

[Ghoulish Delight]

The other shoe? That already sounds like plenty of shoes to me, just how many feet do you have?

Go pile yourself with some cats and wake up tomorrow.

[blueerica]

The past few days have been generally weird, but things are starting to straighten themselves out.

It has been a very weird week. Last week was bizarre too. Almost like there has been a full moon for the last 2 weeks.

Something is up with the Cosmos.

Made a really great fresh checca sauce tonight. Then I realized that maybe Mark wanted to have some meat and mentioned it to my grandma that there wasn't any meat in the sauce, but we had some leftover sausage he could have. Point blank, she asked "There's no flavor in the sauce?"

Huh?

Anyhow, dinner was good and the sauce had flavor.

[CoasterMatt]

loads fine here.

Lunch with the GM was AWESOME! Just 10 of us from our department in a conference room that overlooks the entire park- they designed it so that they could take sales clients there and give them an overview.

He made a comment that rings so true - People don't necessarily quit companies that they hate, they quit because of BOSSES that they hate.

[blueerica]

So last night J called me talking about Jeopardy. They're doing the Teen Tournament, and we always get a kick out of it, since we know most of the answers. He took a stab at the final question before it was asked, just off the topic, which was "Animals." He said "Panda." Sure enough, the answer was panda, which we got a good laugh out of.

Tonight, I'm kicking back, watching a little Jeopardy and final Jeopardy came around. Topic: "American Authors." I figured - hell, if it worked for J, I should try it, too. I say, to myself, Hemingway.. It's gotta be Hemingway. Sure enough, after the commercial break, on the board was mention of crossing the Italy-Austria border in 1918 and being there on D-Day... Hemingway.

I know I can't tell him without him me about making it up - why do these things happen in private?

Did you know Andre now comes with a resealable screw-top?

Yeah - I am the Poseur of Swank right now

[BarTopDancer]

Screw tops are becoming big. There is starting to be a shortage of cork trees - and screw tops also prevent the whole cork in the bottle ruining the bottle thing.

[Alex]

I have a friend who works in bottle design for a Napa winery. Apparently screwtops are considered far superior to cork but consumer perception and tradition keeps them from spreading the way many would prefer.

Yeah, and I'm one of those luddites I'm afraid - I'm sentimental about the cork - Method Champenoise all the way!

Perhaps if the put in rebus puzzles like Lucky Lager they might convince me

[blueerica]

During a quick stint working for a wine distributor in SoCal about 7 years ago, I learned a bit about cork vs. screw top. There's a lot of good to be said about the screw top and often - due to public misperception about the quality of a wine with a screw top - there are fantastic deals to be had on great wines.

That said, I do like corks, since there's the process of removing it. I have pleasant associations of social gatherings where I'm removing a cork, so I'm a bit sentimental.

Memo to my fellow students:

1) Showing up to class drunk is not "cute". It's immature and unprofessional and your constant stream-of-consciousness interruptions punctuated with giggles and exclamatory non-sequiturs makes me want to beat you senseless.

2) If you have 6 pages of "last minute" questions to ask and you're pretty much the only one talking, and the rest of us can't get the exam and leave until you shut the hell up, then you need to go talk to the professor individually and stop wasting our time.

3) If number 2 applies and those questions are bizarre hypotheticals that weren't covered in the book, and if the professor has already told the class that the book is the known universe for the purpose of this exam, then you definitely need to shut it, pronto.

4) If numbers 2 and 3 apply and each question you ask requires 5 minutes of preamble, then please hold still while I personally decapitate you with this spork.

And I finally got home - just in time for a cable outage. So no relaxing with bad late night teevee, even. Thanks a lot, drunken twatwaffles and suck-up git.

[alphabassettgrrl]

I generally don't know what kind of closure my wine has until I get the tinfoil cap off it and by that point it doesn't matter. I'd be reasonably happy with a screwtop.

In other news I'm no longer dating that girl. Not much to say though. Just that it's over.

[RStar]

Well, I see collage hasn't changed much since I attended in the late 70's. :rolleyes:

So does anyone actually believe that Barry Bonds never took performance enhancing stuff? I'm not a big baseball watcher anymore (I used to be back in the days when I'd go to games with Dad). Nonetheless, I think it stinks this his record will stand along with all the others who used these drugs. Poo-heds, one and all. Bah.

Of course, since he's not passed Aaron's record yet, I'm secretly hoping he has some injury that prevents him from ever playing ball again, just shy of the record.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I really have no idea how to feel about it. There's the whole, "everyone was doing it" argument that I instinctively roll my eyes at, but then I see the parasite reporters hounding Bonds in the locker room after a game because he didn't hit a homerun and it occurs to me that I have no concept of what it's like to live under that kind of microscope and pressure. Not that it excuses it, but it certainly contextualizes it.

Then there's the the fact that, while pure strength is certainly an aid, Bonds has put the bat on the ball 753 times. No amount of steroids can give you that skill and there will always be something to be said about the fact that he could flat out hit (I say "could" only because he no longer even tries for base hits, he's just swinging for the record now).

[Alex]

Yes, there are.

I'm not too bothered by the use of steroids, in general I see no reason why they should be against the rules in the first place.

Odds are the steroids had little to do directly with his home run hitting. More muscle doesn't make you any better at hitting the ball perfectly. If anything it helped him play longer and more regularly than he might otherwise have done. Yet thousands of products that do that are allowed. All of the hallowed baseball records are tainted in some way or another (during Hank Aaron's era the use of amphetamines by ball players was pervasive and I'd be surprised if he didn't use them as well. Babe Ruth had the advantage of never having to play against some of the best ballplayers around.

The big reason I didn't/don't want him to break the record is because other people care and I don't want to have to listen to this debate for the next 10-12 years (at least) while we wait for Alex Rodriguez to break the record.

Though I am hoping that Griffey will experience a drug-free Bonds like late-stage burst. Three more seasons like he is having this year and he'll be 41 with more than 700 homers.

[Snowflake]

Thanks GD and Alex. I appreciate your responses. Somehow I thought that there was not any question about earlier records. Just shows my lack of knowledge on the subject. I'll leave it at that.

[Alex]

Just to clarify, since they are illegal steroids should obviously be against the rules. I meant I don't see any baseball specific reason they should be against the rules.

[MouseWife]

The last time I tried to log on to MSN to check my hotmail account, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade. I said no, later. Well, I haven't been able to access the account since. Error this, whatever.

Is anyone else having trouble? I heard that YouTube was going to be overloaded with people sending things from Comic Con. {I guess everyone else is techy savy 'cause I don't get it....}.

About the baseball~ I get that the steroids didn't give him the skill {and I know Jack about what you are talking about but I do have an opinion based on what little I do know...} but it did give him the endurance to continue to perform at his level at bat. You know, like when they need to take out a pitcher after he has spent his energy?

Compare this to old records~ they achieved these levels without them{steroids}.

Did that make sense?

[Morrigoon]

Do you know if she was given the prompt to upgrade? I wonder if that is the problem or the overload?

{okay, must have been overload because I just got through....you can let your co-worker know, maybe today it will be hit or miss?}

[BarTopDancer]

I have to resend him an email. I'll see if it goes through

[Kevy Baby]

Yes, there are.Ya know, I really wish I knew what you were responding to...

The big reason I didn't/don't want him to break the record is because other people care and I don't want to have to listen to this debate for the next 10-12 years (at least) while we wait for Alex Rodriguez to break the record.When Roger Maris broke Babe Ruth's 60 Home Run Single Season record that had stood for 34 years, he was lambasted and hated for daring to break the record of the Great Bambino.

I should somehow find a way to link an email sent to me by a classmate that I'm positive is crazy. At least Pru would get a chuckle...

Oh please oh please? I swear that particular class was the biggest collection of self-important weirdos I've ever seen. There were a number of us who were silent all quarter and blended into the scenery, but there was a much larger proportion than usual of people who were very vocal and very odd. Including the chickee whose desk set-up included no fewer than 4 cans of diet coke, the one half of the drunken twosome who always talked and gestured like she was performing on a sitcom, the one guy who was leading a 1L study section and thus felt he was on the same level as the professor, the guy who kept asking for extra credit and for people to donate their grade points to him because of his burning need to get a B+... It was just craziness. With the exception of my good buddy Chelan, I hope to never see any of them again.

[blueerica]

Oh my, oh my, Pru!

Who are these people you're taking class with?!

The more I think of it, regarding the email, you guys would see that she's crazy, but you wouldn't get the scope unless I had a video of her, or a lengthy detail on things she's done in class - which are hard to put into words.

I used to be that way. I'm still pretty quiet at first meeting, but am usually fine after that. I'm just afraid I'll come out sounding like a total idiot :) which I usually do just fine...

[Kevy Baby]

I'm trying to think of something interesting to say... and not coming up with anything.That doesn't seem to stop the rest of us!
Me too, which is why I don't post much :)You need to post more often - you have such a cool avatar!!!

[BarTopDancer]

19 minutes till 5!

[Prudence]

I can barely speak when meeting people during one of my rare park visits. You'd never guess that my friends and family can't get me to shut up.

[Gemini Cricket]

Dubya Tee Eff?
Why is this day going by soooo sloooow?
I have an hour and ten minutes left.
Everyone in Hollywood has gone home.
Why am I still here?
Oh yeah, cause I work 'til 6pm.
If I had started work one hour early, I would be on my way home in ten minutes.
What was I thinking?
Sheesh!







:D

[Mousey Girl]

I was forced into figuring out Microsoft Office Publisher today at work. I feel very proud of myself right about now. Now I get to print out, cut and organize everything I did. Oh well, it does mean I have an excuse to shop online.

[CoasterMatt]

I got to molest the WaterWorld seaplane this morning...

Never mind. I don't wanna know.......

Damnit body: it's Saturday. Why do you need to be away at 6:00?!?

[blueerica]

I was up early this morning, too. Doesn't bode well for me. :(

So today I will once again feel obligated to eat some garlic ice cream and once again proclaim it is not really be any good.

[blueerica]

Hrmm... Garlic ice cream? Not sure that sounds so great.

I've had beer sorbet, and that was actually pretty good. But garlic ice cream... umm...

[mousepod]

Going to Gilroy, Alex?

[JWBear]

I was up online until 2:00 this morning. I just woke up, and I feel like a zombie. There had better be orange juice in the kitchen!

[€uroMeinke]

Enjoying my first cup of coffee of the day - wondering if I should make some ice coffee

[Alex]

Going to Gilroy, Alex?

Yeah, it has been about 8 years since the last time which feels like an appropriate spacing.

Maybe they've changed the preparation of the ice cream since. I'm not opposed to the idea of garlic ice cream but raw garlic in ice cream just isn't good. If they caramelized it a bit or something before putting it in it could be very nice.

[blueerica]

Iced coffee is good. Iced Kenya..... magical.

[Mousey Girl]

Hopefully this is not something you plan to send to a printer. MSP is the bane of every printer's existence.

Yesterday, after I was finished, I was told that I will be the one printing it.

[Morrigoon]

Garlic ice cream is awesome. Garlic + vanilla = Mmmmmm.

[Babette]

I was up online until 2:00 this morning. I just woke up, and I feel like a zombie. There had better be orange juice in the kitchen! Me, too! Got home late and wasn't sleepy, so checked LoT before bed and got sucked in. Now the mowers are going on outside and making me crabby!

[Stan4dSteph]

I was going to go running this morning, but I was too tired so I hit snooze. I watched the Tour de France, and then when to the farmer's market. I was late and short of cash though, so I couldn't get much. I got some ground lamb and fresh corn. Now it's hot and I don't want to run in this heat.

[skinnylycan]

Im sitting at disney... :-) w00 disney.. I probably should be doing something productive. :-P

[lindyhop]

Last night I decided I had to get another fan because it's so hot at home. So I'm driving to Target and I see flashing lights of police cars at the gas station up ahead. When I drive past I have to take a look to see what going on, was there an accident, was someone arrested? What I see are several police cars pulled into this gas station and at least half a dozen cops are leaning over the roofs of the cars and pointing guns at someone, something I can't see because, well, all I can focus on are all these guns.

:eek:

[Morrigoon]

I'm hungry... I think we're going to catch some lunch and then the Simpsons movie.

[Kevy Baby]

Yesterday, after I was finished, I was told that I will be the one printing it.By printer, I mean commercial lithographic print shop. People often think that Publisher is the same as a quality desktop publishing program such as InDesign or Quark Xpress.

I think Publisher is okay working on your own computer and ink-jet or laser printer.

[Mousey Girl]

I had made labels for our glassware and china. I am in the process of printing all of the labels out. The new tags for our linens are going to the printer.

Nick and I just got finished in the front yard. We now have 2/3s of the netting up in the flowerbeds and the yard is mowed. My sis-in-law came over with some new clothes for Boy for school. She is still planning on getting him some new shoes. We had a real nice visit. She even offered herself as a babysitter if I ever need a break. As I was thanking her and telling her that is something I won't be needing for a while we look over to see the lawn mower rolling down the driveway. Talk about perfect timing.

[CoasterMatt]

I got to work today - 6th day in a row, so it's a gravy day (time and a half)

[alphabassettgrrl]

Bummer K - time to find some fresh meat.

**hugs**

Thanks. I should have known something was up.

I got to molest the WaterWorld seaplane this morning...

That thing is so cool! I would love to see it close up. I also need a picture of it coming over the wall. I always forget to take that shot, I'm too busy watching it go!

So today I will once again feel obligated to eat some garlic ice cream and once again proclaim it is not really be any good.

I'll eat your share! I love garlic ice cream.

Last dance recital of the summer- DONE! Grand total- 9. My brain is officially mush now. At least they were organized and they finished ON TIME. Thank the gods.

[MouseWife]

Yeah, it has been about 8 years since the last time which feels like an appropriate spacing.


Gilroy? Wow, that place sure smells like garlic. {I know, the garlic capital...} It was overwhelming. I have a very keen sense of smell and I just about died. {the only time I love my sense of smell is when I am out walking and pass rose bushes.}

I had a prank phone call at work today. A perverted prank phone call. You know, where I work I have to be 'Fast, fun and friendly'. This guys calls, asking for advice about buying his mom a birthday present. My opinion on what typs of 'panties women prefer...{yeah, well, I get asked those questions so while it was a bit odd I brushed it off....}. Then he says 'should I ask her?' and I'm like, well, duh. Well, that is where it really went off the board...Apparently she showed him what kind and they were sheer and transparent...he asks if that is wrong and I say 'Hey, it's between you and your mother, whatever'....then it levels out to a regular phone call about stuff. Until he tells me exactly what he can see and how it is making him feel...

Geezus. It pissed me off because I really didn't realize where that was going until it went there.

Mmmm...I was going to go to a show tonight, 'The Silent Comedy' {or just Silent Comedy} but I am just too tired.

Okay, funny bit...when I my boss told my relief co-worker what happened to me, she said 'Hey, I never get any calls!!!' I told her, 'Don't worry honey, I'll call you.' :p

And, it jaded me to other guests. These two young men came up to me and asked me where the underwear were at. I stopped what I was doing and looked them square in the eye 'Mens? Or womens???' and they spit out 'Mens!'. LOL

[RStar]

[Prudence]

So, today I learned that a relative has traced our family back to 870. Direct descendants. Son of, Daughter of, etc.... This is rather cool. I also got some electronic copies of some family photos - including some I'd not seen before. Looking at my Great Aunt Marie - it's pretty clear which side of the family I take after:

[Morrigoon]

I'm watching reruns of that "To Catch A Predator" deal they did on Dateline a while back. Seems like at least half these guys sent the decoy a photograph of their wang.

So guys, I'm asking you, because I don't get it... what IS it with men and photographs of their units? Do men actually believe women are just dying to see your dingle?

[Morrigoon]

Prudence: I thought it appropriate to mention this in a second post rather than editing my prior one... Love the old-fashioned photos!

(not related to my previous photography-related comments)

[CoasterMatt]

Here's (http://picasaweb.google.com/CoasterMatt/WaterWorld) a gallery of some photos I've taken of WaterWorld - I should have a new batch very soon.

Cool pics, Matt!:snap:

[blueerica]

Sooo...

I just realized that what is normally a less than 2 hour flight from Long Beach to Salt Lake City takes almost 4 hours on my itinerary, yet there's no mention of a stop or layover anywhere... WTF?

I think I'm going to call tomorrow.

[Kevy Baby]

I've heard the space/time continuum has been having issues of late - that may be involved.

[Gemini Cricket]

Is there a time change involved?

[blueerica]

Yes, there is. I realized my "issue."

I looked at it again and realized that I was changing in the wrong direction, and that it just looked like a bigger difference because the flight I normally take to SLC is on the half, whereas this flight leaves at 8:10 and arrives at 10:55. So, picture me adding the hour difference, and rounding out the departure and arrival times. Anyway - it was just my brain tricking me... again. Ugh.

[RStar]

Anyway - it was just my brain tricking me... again. Ugh.
I hate when that happends. It's usually at work and makes me look like a complete feel. :eek: That's the trouble with working in a lab.....

[CoasterMatt]

You look like a complete feel? Freudian slip or typo? :D

[blueerica]

So - I'm not sure if it's just that I have to pay massive cosmic penance for the really awesome group I had earlier in the summer, but my group this time around sucks. I really wouldn't have pegged them to be like this. They're the kind of people that show up to class, nice, responsible looking girls, had great ideas when we were first brainstorming... Now, I haven't heard from them since class on Wednesday, and we have a huge presentation next Wednesday, need to prepare slides and practice together a little bit.

This is troublesome.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Nice pictures, Matt!

BTD- enjoy the Cup!

Prudence- great pictures! I wish I had more of my family.

BE- I hope your group comes together in time.

[lindyhop]

Years ago when I worked in a lingerie department there was a man looking for a bra for his wife. We asked him what size. He held up both hands and cupped them to demonstrate. Yeah, that was helpful.

But that was slightly more tasteful than the women who would just pull up their blouses to show us what they were wearing and did we have that style?

[MouseWife]

Haha, yeah, that sounds really helpful. LOL

And ew about the women doing that. I tell ya, I am really going to be careful when asking women about their choices...geesh!!

I have had men come in and ask for help. One guy just kept saying how tiny his wife was, she was Asian you know, Asian women are so tiny. :rolleyes: Like I just couldn't understand what it was like, being American and so big {I guess}. When he told me his wifes' size I told him it was also mine and that she would love that style. Probably confused the heck outta him. Or he thought I was lying. Whatever. Chonies do stretch, ya know. :D

[Mousey Girl]

Nickolas is driving me nutso today. I know most of it is that I have no patience, I can't stop worrying about tomorrow. He wants to make cookies, and can't wait for the dough to defrost. All I want to do is sleep (my defence mechanism).

He did clean off and scrub the kitchen counter. It looks great!!

The last batch of cookies is in the oven. These were that fundraiser frozen cookie dough, the ones that look like playdough. Even the rats are getting tiny rat shaped treats.

Do they have Outback Steakhouses in Australia?

Sorry for the late reply, No, we don't !

...and I've never had a Bloomin' Onion, or even a Friggin' Fennel Bulb.

I had absolutely terrible food when I was in Australia - everything was overcooked or oversalted, so why the hell would I want to eat like that at home?!?

[lashbear]

I have a Disneyland 50th Anniversary CD that I just love and one of the songs featured on the CD is the Splash Mountain attraction theme. EVERYTIME I listen to the music of Splash Mountain (you know, the "How'dya do?" song) there is a line that I'm pretty sure says "pretty good sure as your born".

I SWEAR it sounds just like "pretty good show us your bone", which is what I always sing when the song is playing.

Funny, I always thought they sang "Pretty good, show us your Porn" - That's what I always sing when that song comes on the iPod...

Did you know Andre now comes with a resealable screw-top?

Yeah - I am the Poseur of Swank right now

Screw tops are becoming big.

I have a friend who works in bottle design for a Napa winery. Apparently screwtops are considered far superior to cork but consumer perception and tradition keeps them from spreading the way many would prefer.

OK, DOwnunder Poseur time...

I believe they're called "Stelvin Closures" in the industry. :p

[lashbear]

I had made labels for our glassware and china. I am in the process of printing all of the labels out.

When I had my brief (and by brief, I'm talking two weeks, because I realized it was a massive undertaking on my part, and backed out kindly), time in the wine biz...

I was working for a distributor that dealt specifically in wines from the southern hemisphere. One partner was from Australia and the other was from South Africa. If I'm not mistaken, and I didn't look it up, I know that Australia pretty much pioneered the caps on nice wines, as well as other south of the equator wineries.

Good stuff, too.

[Stan4dSteph]

I have a friend who works in bottle design for a Napa winery. Apparently screwtops are considered far superior to cork but consumer perception and tradition keeps them from spreading the way many would prefer.Yes. Screwtop bottles don't experience "corking," which is basically when the cork fails and allows air into the bottle affecting the taste of the wine.

A lot of the NZ wines have screwtops. I don't have a problem with them, and you never have to worry about having a corkscrew. They're also great for picnics, because you can close up and transport any unused portion without worrying about spillage.

[Mousey Girl]

LOl, no LB, it is for the rental company I work for.



This morning was quite the non-event. I got there at 8:00, I didn't have to be there until 8:30. Dawn was the first person I saw when I went to sit down in the hallway. She was looking at me, very smug, very pleased with herself. I went outside to wait for my moral support, in the form of a friend, E and my sister, L.

By the time they got there it was 8:30. I talked to my lawyer, who told me I have nothing to worry about, but that things might be posponed. He told me to stay where I was, out of the sight line of the other 2, and just sit tight. He was very reassuring.

He kept coming back to let me know what was going on. It seems David's paycheck stubs didn't add up. When looking at the numbers and adding them, there seems to be a $10,000 discrepancy in the numbers. Meaning there is $10,000 unaccounted for.

He then went on to say why he wanted me sitting where I was. David was making an ass out of himself, even to the point where his own lawyer thought he was ridiculous and could see that he was doing it to get to me. He was sitting with Dawn, with his arm around her, making a show of being there with her. At one point he came around the corner and seemed like he was going to say something to me, but then saw my sister and choked on his words and turned away after giving me an odd look and a nod.

So now he has to come up with an explanation about the missing money.

The best thing to come out of today was just being able to talk to my lawyer about David's statements and showing him my concerns. Mostly that he is trying to say that he is the only person bringing in income at their residence. I was told not to worry, the court doesn't care about his other expenses, only that Nick and I are taken care of.

E and I had a smoke after leaving the courthouse. We were standing in front, I made sure she was the one facing the door. Boy was Dawn shooting us some dirty looks. David walks fast and was leaving her in the dust (She was waddeling on 3 inch heels). He finally said something to her and she had to run to catch up with him.

So while nothing was resolved I feel 100xs better.

[MouseWife]

I don't know this person Dawn or David but I think I just might hate them.

It sounds like you are a class act, MG. :snap:

[Mousey Girl]

I did get in trouble from my lawyer, for being too nice with the mediation agreement. He said he plans to re-work it.

[MouseWife]

That's fine. That is why you have a lawyer. And, if they complain about things being reworked, he will say it was him and not you. That is great.

[BarTopDancer]

Sounds like you have a great lawyer.

Always remember that you did nothing to cause this situation; this is their doing. You need to fight mama bear style to make sure that Nick is taken care of and his interests are looked after. Don't worry about being mean, or asking for to much. You have a lifestyle that you and Nick were accustomed to. It is up to D to make sure that Nick's life is the same as or better than. Not worse because he made selfish choices.

[MouseWife]

Hey, yeah, what she said!!!!

You go girl!!

Oh, but even more emphasis on that it is them who f'd things up for selfish reasons.

[Kevy Baby]

So, do you have little labels on all the glasses saying "This is for Champagne", "This is for Martinis", "This is for sherry" et. al. ? :eek:I find it easier to use Styrofoam cups for everything - it helps eliminate the confusion.

Ooooh!!!

I was bad tonight. I just got a call from Him about $$ and the lack of it in our joint account. He left 4 months ago, there wasn't that much in there to begin with. I told him that I had asked him for money and he refused. He countered with the money missing from the account and that he would have all of my Fing utilities cut off. I said good luck with that since they are all in MY name. I told him I refused to talk about money and that he could feel free to call my lawyer. He started to yell again and that is when I snapped. "Look, I told you I needed money. You refused. Maybe if you stopped being led around by the balls you could grow a pair of your own!!!"

:blush:


I told him I would take care of the over drawn account (all $ 13 of it) and I would see him in court on the 9th. He got very quiet and said, "Thank you."

I think my golves are beginning to come off. If they make it all the way off he is in for some Hell.

[lindyhop]

I was on my way to the gym after work but for some reason they were only allowing cars to park on the lowest level of the parking structure. I finally managed to turn around and get out of there (they were still letting cars drive in even though there was no room) and I decided to park in the shopping center across the street. As I pulled into the parking space I was thinking all I had to do was grab my gym bag out of the trunk...but no, my gym bag was still on the floor in my bedroom.

:rolleyes:

What a crock.
We should get paid every week.
Wouldn't that be nice?

[Prudence]

So, I pretty much pulled an all-nighter last night. It's been awhile since I did that. I went to bed around 2:30 and laid awake for at least an hour mentally running through RPCs. Alarm went off at 5 and I got up to study more. Drove BT to the bus and went to Office Despot for ink, came back, studied until 8:45, went to bed, slept until noon, got up and studied more. I'm all lightheaded and I'm sure I'm operating on pure adrenalin at this point. I hope I don't crash too hard, as I have to start writing my take-home final for international law.

once a month here. yeah, every week could be handy

[wendybeth]

Ooooh!!!

I was bad tonight. I just got a call from Him about $$ and the lack of it in our joint account. He left 4 months ago, there wasn't that much in there to begin with. I told him that I had asked him for money and he refused. He countered with the money missing from the account and that he would have all of my Fing utilities cut off. I said good luck with that since they are all in MY name. I told him I refused to talk about money and that he could feel free to call my lawyer. He started to yell again and that is when I snapped. "Look, I told you I needed money. You refused. Maybe if you stopped being led around by the balls you could grow a pair of your own!!!"

:blush:



I told him I would take care of the over drawn account (all $ 13 of it) and I would see him in court on the 9th. He got very quiet and said, "Thank you."

I think my golves are beginning to come off. If they make it all the way off he is in for some Hell.

So, he's a broke cheating asshole, then?

Good.

[lashbear]

So, I pretty much pulled an all-nighter last night. It's been awhile since I did that. I went to bed around 2:30 and laid awake for at least an hour mentally running through RPCs.

RPC's - Easy as pie !!

1) Don't wear a thong where it can be seen,
2) Don't sleep with the clients

That about covers it, doesn't it ?

Once a month? I'd go on strike!

:D

Good.

He isn't broke....yet... :evil:

I will be faxing my lawyer in the morning. After seeing the display and reading the lies, he already has a low opinion of David. The fact that the Wonder Dad threatened to try to have his own son's water, power, ect.. cut off ought to really give him pause.

For every step I take forward I get sucker punched back. Does he have a 6th sense when it comes to my moods? He must to know when to hit me with another round of attacks.

The locks will be changed this week. I have already talked to Boy about it and explained what our new process will be. He seemed releived that I was finally doing it.

Well, the second item would be an 8.4 violation. 8.4(j), to be specific. I dunno about the first. Moral turpitude, maybe? General unfitness?

Wow! I just read that the stage version of Tarzan was yanked from Broadway.
I read the reviews and am not surprised but wow that was fast.

[BarTopDancer]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!

:( Will it ever be Friday????? :(

SOON! I hope!

Come on Friday!

I was hoping the high of Sunday would carry me through till Friday. But it's gone. It's bleh outside. I want to go back to bed.

[BarTopDancer]

the girl in the cube infront of me needs to shut up. Every single morning she gets on the phone at the same time for a social call lasting about an hour. It's so freeking annoying.

[MouseWife]

I was hoping to wake up Monday morning full of energy to get back on my workout track.

Here I sit.

[blueerica]

I think I want to go out for coffee or something.

[BarTopDancer]

I want to go to Vegas. RIGHT NOW!

[Not Afraid]

I just had a FABULOUS morning.

[Mousey Girl]

I have had a productive, feel good morning. I now have the water bill password protected and I have a locksmith meeting me after work.

[Not Afraid]

MG, you're doing all of the right things! You're great!

[MouseWife]

Well...my brain is racing and that is probably why I can't get much done. {the exercise thing, I need get my grrr back, I've seem to have lost that somewhere...}.

My brain is racing because I received an email yesterday that I am one of a handful of people who were selected to meet Chris Cornell after his concert on Saturday.

My husband asked if he should stand by me in case my knees get weak and I said no because if I faint, I am going to faint on Cornell, not him!! So, back off, buddy! ;)

I can't focus so that is f'ing up my day. Falling behind on what I am supposed to be doing....that bugs me.

Great MG!!! Yes, I think if he knows your social he can mess with your accounts so fix that. I heard this from someone years ago who had their phone account messed with. Hopefully they've changed this.

Heck, I know of a woman in a similar situation, the other woman called and changed her doctors appointments!! And, called and harrassed the mother in law saying it was her. Where do these people come from??? Are they trying out for the Springer show?

[BarTopDancer]

MG - great progress!

Make sure your accounts and other utilities (including cable, internet, phone, cell phone) are protected too.

Even though you are getting your locks changed, make copies of all valuable paper work and anything that is sentimental to you (and not his) take to your parents. While he may not have tried anything yet, it's better to be safe (and once the locks are changed who knows what will be done).

[JWBear]

I can't wait for my vacation to start. I'm Soooo ready to get away from this place for awhile!

[BarTopDancer]

Geeze Kevy! How about some warning! :p

[Ghoulish Delight]

Geeze Kevy! How about some warning! :p
Kevy posted something behind a spoiler tag. That's warning enough for me to know not to click it...

[BarTopDancer]

Kevy posted something behind a spoiler tag. That's warning enough for me to know not to click it...

He said it was entertaining, not disturbing!

[Ghoulish Delight]

He said it was entertaining, not disturbing!
It's Kevy, in his language, those are synonyms.

[Morrigoon]

I thought it was entertaining as I was being disturbed

[Kevy Baby]

I didn't say whose entertainment is was for :evil:

[Prudence]

Well, if I was looking for something to motivate me to get off the net and get busy on my essay final, that would do it.

[Morrigoon]

Kevy Baby... getting people back on task since 2004.

[Kevy Baby]

Well, if I was looking for something to motivate me to get off the net and get busy on my essay final, that would do it.My work here is done (unless you need to see a Tooth Fairy picture).

[Not Afraid]

I got a new phone today as well as a new number. My old phone is still operational but all calls are forwarded to me new phone. However, I won't get text messages in a timely fashion, but I now can receive emails. I have to figure out how I'm going to manage this thing.

[Kevy Baby]

NA got a new cell-phone number? I thought I felt a shift in the space/time continuum today.

[blueerica]

New number for NA?! What the....

[Not Afraid]

Yeah, that's why I'm keeping my ld one - at least for now. I actually need a 562 number for business purposes, so I had to get another number eventually.

[lashbear]

Mango Cheeks = The two plump sides sliced off a large mango. Available canned, and really, really good.

(fresh is nice too, but the Mango Syrup in the can is to die for.)

...Now I need Insulin. :rolleyes:

[RStar]

Mango Cheeks Yes, sweety?

:D
