Soooo....

[BarTopDancer]

Time to call the BBB. You had a contract for 24 months, not 25. That's a load of crap.

Except that it turns into a month to month contract once the 24 months are up.

[Gemini Cricket]

It's amazing how much adrenalin can build up in your system between the time you receive the email saying one of your grades has posted and the time your jittery fingers can log into the student info system and pull up your transcript.

To my complete shock, I received an A in Professional Responsibility.

Now I can go back to computing the "worst cases scenario" GPA for my international law grade.
Visible mojo for your "A"!
:)

[Kevy Baby]

So... my contract is up today, so I can cancel. Well the F-ers have my billing cycle set to end on the 26th, and since today is the 27th (the first day I could cancel), I have to start a new month.You also have the argument that the 26th was not a business day.

To my complete shock, I received an A in Professional Responsibility.I think that you are the only one who is shocked - none of the rest of us are!!! Congrats!

[Matterhorn Fan]

Pru, congrats on the A! :cheers:

[Gemini Cricket]

What a funky day today is.
Not much going on, slow...
Kinda in a funky mood as well. Must be the full moon?
Low energy. Feel sleepy. But I haven't done much today.
:shrug:

[innerSpaceman]

Is that why you've been on the LoT a lot?


Perhaps it the impending eclipse that's sapping your mojo.

[Kevy Baby]

Technically speaking, the full moon is not until 3:55 tomorrow morning, but as far as I am concerned, that should be considered "close enough"

[Gemini Cricket]

Is that why you've been on the LoT a lot?


Perhaps it the impending eclipse that's sapping your mojo.
Could be.
I hear the days before a full moon are supposed to be draining. I'm not sure what an eclipse would do to a guy.
:)

[innerSpaceman]

Have you been measuring your semen output??




It's a leading indicator of moon-effected malaise.

[Gn2Dlnd]

And a leading indicator of draining.

[RStar]

Does that suggestion come with directions?

International law? Yikes! :eek: Good luck there!!

[Kevy Baby]

Have you been measuring your semen output??

Does that suggestion come with directions?One of the things I learned about when we talking with the doctor about in-vitro fertilization was one of the methods for securing a sperm sample. Apparently, there is an occasional need to manually capture the sample from the source. But this is done without making an incision. They actually put a tube up the urethra that travels all the way to the testis to collect the sample.

And now, as every male reads this, he is more than likely bending over in sympathy pain. It made me cringe when I heard about it and I wasn't even a candidate for this procedure.

[alphabassettgrrl]

So I've been feeling that malaise for a few months now. I don't think I can blame mine on the moon.

I do blame a lot of other things on the moon though.

Why hasn't the teacher who promised me an add code today sent it to me? Today is the first day of school and I need that frelling code so I can get started!

Thank you Kevy, for a sustained outburst of laughter and screaming...

(which happened while I was on a phonecall learning of an old schoolmate's demise)

[Prudence]

Yay! I had forgotten that my UCC professor edits the cases he wants us to read down into easily digested chunks of relevant material. I knew there was a reason I liked him. And my health law text was written by the prof who taught my section of constitutional law - and he is a damn fine author, I must say. I would honestly read that text just to learn more about the subject - even if it wasn't assigned. Maybe this last term won't be deadly dull after all!

[CoasterMatt]

Snowflake, you absolutely rock.

[Prudence]

I wasn't just being a paranoid ninny about my grade - the prof made a big deal about participation being 25% of the grade, and then only called on me once (but called on other people over and over.) So I figured if I did really well on the exam I'd get a B+. Thus, the A is quite a nice surprise.

Meanwhile, I have "I'm Henry VIII, I am" stuck in my head - as performed by Banana Erectors.

I had a rather odd discussion with The Boy tonight.
"Why does C have 2 mothers? Why is S considered his guardian and K his mom?"

C is a friend of his at school, in his class for the 3rd time since first grade. I work with one of his moms.

So I kept it simple, just saying that he had 2 moms like some kids have a mom & a dad and some kids can have 2 dads.

His response was, "Cool."

I'm housesitting in Yucaipa and its like 112 outside right now.

On a much nicer scale i will have Sundays off permanently but it will take awhile before the switch happens according to my boss. So finally i'll be free to go to Disneyland on Sundays again. It's been months since i've had a Sunday free seriously and i was beginning to get frustrated working every single weekend while my coworkers were getting a Saturday here a Sunday here off but things will change and if i don't work full time i really don't care i am so burned out at this point my sanity is worth the cut in hours.

[SacTown Chronic]

They're trying to make Amy go to rehab, but she says "No! No! No!".



Amy Winehouse's father-in law says fans should stop buying her records to force the singer to seek help for what he called a drug addiction.

Giles Fielder-Civil said he believed Winehouse and his son, Blake Fielder-Civil, had used cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin and were in "abject denial" about their problem.

"I think they believe they are recreational users of drugs and they are in control," Fielder-Civil told British Broadcasting Corp. radio Tuesday. "Clearly they are addicts."

He said fans should send a message to Winehouse "that her addiction and her behavior are not acceptable."

[BarTopDancer]

I'll have to listen when I get home.

OMG!!! When David was finally out of the house I went on a search. I was looking for some incriminating pictures. The kind that we took when we were first married, polaroid pictures, the kind you don't want anyone to ever see. I sort of panicked when I couldn't find them.

Right now I am cycling through a manic phase, can't sleep, restless, the whole bit. I cleaned out a bunch of stuff in his bathroom and sprayed some more mold killer stuff.

I found myself in front of one of the bedroom closets. I am getting ready to start moving out all of his ammo boxes (the guns are at his folks). There they were, a nice little stack, where he had hidden them, under one of the heavier boxes.

I just got done burning them all. I feel so freakin' liberated right now!!!!

Prudence: what's wrong with a B? I'd think in law school that'd be pretty good

[Mousey Girl]

Last night when I was cleaning out the bathroom I found something...It is making me wonder just how many women he has cheated on me with over the years. I have it figured at at least 2, otherwise he wouldn't have kept a "momento" from 7 years ago.

Why would you, as a married man, keep a picture a girl had give you (picture a school-type picture with the back signed) that says on the back, "To my one true love, someday we will be together the way we are meant to be."

I had found that picture years ago, and the chick was psycho anyways, and she was tryng to cause all sorts of problems. I was pissed, but wrote it off. He had told me he tossed the picture (after I had found it in his sock drawer). I found it last night under a bunch of stuff in his bathroom.

What else am I going to find?

[wendybeth]

.......What else am I going to find?


That you are so much better off without him, my dear.:cheers:

[Prudence]

Prudence: what's wrong with a B? I'd think in law school that'd be pretty good

Alas, it is not. Not for the kind of jobs I want. Of course, if I had known I wanted those jobs I would have picked a different school entirely.

[RStar]

What else am I going to find?
Sounds like you need to do a major cleaning over a weekend or two, get it all done and out of the way. Pack up anything left to give to him in boxes. This way you won't be wondering what else you will find later, and your home will be safe from this type of intrusion. Purge MG, purge!

Just my two cents.

[Gemini Cricket]

That you are so much better off without him, my dear.:cheers:
Yes yes yes yes yes.

[BarTopDancer]

That you are so much better off without him, my dear.:cheers:

But for the rest of them... muahahahah!

[Mousey Girl]

These were not the type that he would ever need to see.

There is no way I would ever destroy the family pictures. They will all go into a box for Nickolas.

[Morrigoon]

Oh jeebus! "Not the type"? Hahah, wow. Yeah, burning those would be fun.

Great documentaries on KOCE tonight. In other news... they're going to show Vicar of Dibley! I don't know if they've been doing it, but they are now.

[Gemini Cricket]

Last night I had a dream that Babette and I were starring in a play and it was opening night. Unlike a lot of my theatre dreams, the play was over and there was nothing nightmarish about the experience. I think the play was Fiddler, but I'm not sure.
Other members of the cast were people I have not thought of in years! A couple of people I worked with in a bank 10 years ago and a person from grade school.
Anyway, Babette and I were in the green room talking about how tomorrow's performance was going to go.
I woke up with post opening night happiness. It was quite surreal.
:D

just goes to show


all the world's a stage

...And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

Not that there was much question of it, these days, but seriously, it seems that school officials are more concerned with students' obedience than the development of their minds.
http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/7172210?MSNHPHMA

Now, c'mon, that's a pretty advanced prank for a high school student. Sure they have to be punished, but it should have been like a single day suspension and an essay on sportsmanship, not banning them from extracurriculars for a whole semester and 3 days suspension. Too much.

Besides, you ban productive kids from productive activties, you leave them time to produce more trouble :) (but ya gotta admire the spunk!)

Apparently it was trying to communicate with the entire universe 24/7 before.

This happened to me on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving when I was in college. I was a receptionist and my hours were 12-6 (I spilt it with another gal who worked 6-12). So by the time I start at noon 3/4 of the builiding has left. By about one when my supervisior leaves there are four people left, the CEO and CFO being two of them. My supervisior tells me just stay until the CEO leaves then shut off the switchboard and head out.

So I wait and I wait and I wait. By 3 it's just the CFO and the CEO. And the phone has not rung for at least an hour. Wait some more. The lobby area was seperate from the rest of the office so I'm out there totally by myself bored out of my mind. Wait some more. Finally at 5:50 the CEO and CFO emmerge. And the CEO says "Oh you should have left hours ago" :rolleyes:

It seems this sort of thing happens to me just about every darned time. Ugh.

[BarTopDancer]

KS - that happened to us in my old company in our old building. Our manager forgot we were upstairs (2 of us in another suite separate from the rest of the dept). He came upstairs and said WTF are you doing here still?

New company - can't leave till 5. We're a service based company and heaven help our clients (who are probably gone for the day) if they can't reach someone at 4:55 on a Friday before a 3 day weekend. Me? I can sneak out around 4:30 if I want. But I'm going to see Toby Keith with a co-worker and she can't leave till 5.

[AllyOops!]

It's 3:30- and that's the time I leave work!

Work was not too bad today. I then went to Walmart on orders to go there to buy some Capris that fit. I am going to Brew's in the Village next weekend and I was told that my pants are too big and I need to be showing off how much weight I have lost.

Walmart is HELL! I knew there was a reason I avoided it. They had nothing for me. The store was dirty, overcrowded and the aisles are way too narrow to have more than one cart at a time.

I did see my sister in law, and that was nice. We had a nice little visit. I do like my sister in laws. They have been very supportive.

I also got a call from Nickolas. His face is sunburned and he wants to come home. I know it is not as bad as he was saying, and he was just using it as an excuse not to be there.

So here I sit. My treat for today is Jamba Juice. It is too dang hot to do much. My car was showing 112, so that means it is 109.

I am also going to have to put Thudder down next week. Her belly is very distended. She is still active, loving, eating and drinking, but I can start to see that she is not comfortable. I found a vet nearby that will do it for $10. She is one rat that I will truly miss.

[BarTopDancer]

Congratulations on your weight loss! Not sure what sizes you are in but don't underestimate the marvels of shopping online. OldNavy.com is your friend.

Sorry to hear about Thudder :(

[Snowflake]

Well, today I am nursing a broken toe. Was I playing soccer (not bloody likely), running to catch a MUNI bus and tripped on the curb (more likely), no, I was coming in from getting the mail, Tango shot out the front door wanting to claw the carpet in the hallway and I'm not sure what I did. I either slammed it into the doorframe and/or got caught up with Tango under my foot, I thought I had stepped on her but she did not yelp. Heck, maybe I stepped on my own toe, now that would make much more sense. :blush: Anyway, bruised now and yucky, but I can walk, just not down one of the steep hills for a few days I suspect.

So far, I've been free from injury in my life, major one's anyway (knock wood) but this is now my 3rd broken toe in the last few years. I suppose I do need steel toed boots after all.

Of course, now I have to do a whole bunch more work in anticipation of the regional competition. AND re-do all my online cover letters - over 240 - by the end of the day tomorrow. Why couldn't these results have come in before I mailed those packets Saturday?

But I won something! I won! Me!

[BarTopDancer]

YAY!!!!!

[tracilicious]

Congratulations!!!

[CoasterMatt]

WOOHOO!!! Rock on Prudence!!

[wendybeth]

Too cool, Pru!:snap:

[JWBear]

:snap: :snap: :snap:

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Pru, Congratulations!

[Mousey Girl]

YEAH!!!! WTG!!!

[Prudence]

Thanks, y'all! It means so much more work for me, but I'm so unbelievably happy to have finally won something during my schooling. Now I have to gear up for the regional competition. It's the weekend after MA. So anyone going to MA should get to hear me muttering under my breath. "May it please the court...."

[Mousey Girl]

I just got done cleaning out the closet I keep towels in. I seperated the ones that I felt suitable for use with the ones I deem as rags. I have a whole lot more rag towels than good ones. I hate white towels, and that is what the majority are. Now, if I can just get The Boy to grab from the bottom row and not the top I can keep my good towels in good condition!

[Chernabog]

ZOMG!!!!

We won the moot court brief competition! First place!



Booooyaaaahhhh!!! You rock, perhaps we need to start calling you Smarty McSmartSmart :) hehehe take some time to celebrate, yah?

[katiesue]

Congratulations Pru!

[€uroMeinke]

Ya, still no idea who Amy Winehouse is.

Here she is at Coachella:

Ok, so Ken and I are back from our big ocean voyage.

The main thing I learned - take time out each day for myself, instead of the silly 18-hour daily mess that I was pushing prior to the trip. Zen is available anywhere, not just on the seas. ;)

Anyway, I seriously took about 2,500 photos, and I'm on number 365 for reviewing. I'll have a super huge trip report coming after I'm through sorting the pics.

And, I must say that we're going to have a serious blast for 15 nights next May. :D Disney really kept us entertained, well fed, and gave us all kinds of perks like a hardcover book about crossing the Atlantic, a limited edition litho which we got to have signed by Don "Ducky" Williams (he'll be on our cruise next May too, and he does various workshops like on how to draw Mickey, etc.), certificates commemorating the crossing, chocolate €uros, and so much more. :D

Anyway, glad to be back! Now, it'll just take a bit to catch up on what's been going on around here.

[blueerica]

I am back from Utah, and I am tired. So. Very. Tired.

It's been a weird day.

[MickeyLumbo]

Heck, maybe I stepped on my own toe, now that would make much more sense. :blush: .


Safety First
it has been

1
days since an accident

(hope you are feeling better soon!)

[Mousey Girl]

My Boy is home. He just came up with a gem that I am trying to ignore.

It seems his dad took it upon himself to tell Nick that he and Dawn don't use any birth control measures. Now I have a 10 year old boy asking me what that means.

[3894]

The good news: We are going to see Lewis Black.

The bad news: I told my daughter to get tickets for the show that's 30 miles from here on a Friday night. She goofed and got tickets for the show that's 75 miles from here on a Thursday night.

"Ask your father* to explain to you what that means"


*because it takes more than sperm to be a dad

[Snowflake]

Today is a big day, got one monkey off my back, the final issue of the Valentino Newsletter went out today, after a long delay (Winter 2006 issue). Whew!

Thanks ML, I'll remind myself about Safety First, self-klutziness is another matter ;)

[Morrigoon]

Back from Vegas. It was cooler there. I wish I was kidding.

[BarTopDancer]

We have no power!

My roommate plugged in his modem and router into his battery back-up. Apparently we're the only ones in the complex with high speed internet access.

[MouseWife]

Oy vey!! Such posts!! 'Fathers' saying the most stupid things {is he so happy for himself that he is having relations with this ho?}, daughters not realizing the distance/day of the week dealio {probably they told her there were better seats for the Th?}, broken toes {ouch!!!} vacations and work deadlines {yay!!} and hotter here than in Vegas???

Well, that last one, my daughter went to a wedding there and I am happy for her then that she isn't dying in this heat as we are. I worked this morning and when I left it was unbelievably hot!! A couple of intersection lights were not working, makes me worry about the Son who hasn't had his license very long, I hope he pays attention.

The Hubster and the Boy went to Borders for an iced coffee and lounging. I fell asleep. Woke up too early and enjoyed a nap.

I'd love to see your pictures, you returning cruisers, when you get something put together. :0)

[alphabassettgrrl]

It seems his dad took it upon himself to tell Nick that he and Dawn don't use any birth control measures. Now I have a 10 year old boy asking me what that means.

Not exactly something he should be talking to a kid about...

In my world, I fell apart again in the heat. Apparently I can't bike if it's hot. That sucks. Today wasn't even that difficult. I actually bailed on the last part of the ride and Shawn picked me up with the car. Bleh. Not what I had in mind.

[BarTopDancer]

Yay the power is back!

Just as my battery was about to die.

I lied. Bye bye power!

[Mousey Girl]

Sugar free Jello instant pudding is quite tasty.

[Morrigoon]

Okay, Anthony Bourdain has made me want to go to Java. I can find all sorts of info online about his shows/destinations, but naturally, nothing about where he stayed in Java. But his hotel had individual cabins along the river and breakfast was delivered by boat... looked awesome.

[RStar]

and hotter here than in Vegas???

Well, that last one, my daughter went to a wedding there and I am happy for her then that she isn't dying in this heat as we are. I worked this morning and when I left it was unbelievably hot!! :0)It got up[ to 100.2°F at my house in Garden Grove today. Felt like about 104°F at DtD. It was definatly Death Valley hot!!!

[CoasterMatt]

It was 68 degrees at work, all day - until I stepped outside, which wasn't for long.

[Mousey Girl]

It was only around 103 here today. Luckily it is going to be in the low 90s next weekend.

[MouseWife]

Unbelievable, these temps. And, we have to conserve power {do you guys up to my north, RStar?, MG?} so I am doing housework right now in the a.m. when I would rather not. So, I wake up, start working {start getting hot right away}, including the dryer in the garage {hot!!} and I will go on being hot all day 'cause when I'm done, it will be hot outside, period. No chance to enjoy any coolness.

I want your job, CoasterMatt. Well, no, I want your temps, indoors. My thermostat already reads 80 inside.

[BarTopDancer]

I think the entire state is under a power warning.

We lost power several times yesterday - but there was nothing on the SCE site, and sirens blaring so perhaps there was an accident that took out a pole.

Our office doesn't feel as freezing. Maybe they got a clue and turned it up a bit to save energy.

[Capt Jack]

yesterday was fun. 103 effin degrees INSIDE my house, so I set myself on fire to cool off.

it helped but only briefly

[ozron]

Yesterday was in the low 80s as I walked around the art show in the park blocks. After a nice cleansing overnight shower, it is clear and 64 right now, with a few high, puffy clouds and a projected high of 74.

We might get a thunderstorm this afternoon, and then it should be sunny and in the 70s to low 80s the rest of the week.

I have the week off from zoo and show. I think I'll be wandering the streets of Portland, randomly enjoying the approach of Indian Summer.


You may now throw things at me.

ron

[blueerica]

Today seems so much nicer already. Warm, but not like yesterday. When I got on the plane at what would have been 5AM PST yesterday, the pilot said it was a nice 80 degrees in LB. This morning, it was a nice 75 at 7:30.

That's promising.

[Ghoulish Delight]

We spent much of Sunday in West Hills where it was a lovely 106 at 3PM. Yesterday's ~90 in Orange was a cool, refreshing change.

I am so freaking glad I replaced our thermostat last week.

[RStar]

Ugg, back to work today.:(

And to top it off, it's the first day of our fiscal year and we have to do a complete physical inventory. We stock thousands of components, and we are starting a new inventory system and programing. It will make things easier in the long run, but for now it is a big huge

PITA!!!!!

At least we have air conditioning.........

[Morrigoon]

MSN.com is predicting 93 for the high in Aliso Viejo today... can that possibly be true?

[Kevy Baby]

What a lousy weekend to go camping. It was 111 yesterday and about the same all weekend.

[BarTopDancer]

iGoogle says it is currently 82 in RSM, Irvine and HB.

The high in RSM is supposed to be 97. In Irvine it is supposed to be 94 and in HB it is supposed to be 77.

I think I am rethinking my city choices again.

[wendybeth]

Today Tori started her first day back in public school, albeit a homeschool co-op. She'll go one full day a week, and the rest we do at home like usual. She was sooo nervous- she could hardly sleep last night, poor kid. She loves school, but her last classroom experience was not a good one so she is a bit apprehensive. (Me, too). Still, it's not like we can't just pull her out and continue on privately homeschooling, and this way she gets a bit more socialization.

Going to be a long day......

/hugs WB. Might I suggest a margarita to pass the time? ;)



On a different note, where is the FedEx truck? My tickets are on it and I am so excited I may burst.

Hopefully you had a river or body of water to jump into?

[Snowflake]

Leave it to the mousepods to move during the hottest darn week of the year. I hope they've survived and surface soon.

Hey GC, did you survive your friend's move?

Is KB spying on you, BTD? ;)


I'm thinking a margarita sounds good, but I will refrain....until later.:D

[BarTopDancer]

Is KB spying on you, BTD? ;)

I think so. I suspect he is waiting for another chance to attempt to remove my bra. :evil:

[Morrigoon]

Too bad strawberry daquiris don't make good "at-your-desk" drinks, LOL. It sounds really good right about now!

[Disneyphile]

That does sound good. I think I'll go make one while I'm working. :p

Drunken editing sounds fun. :evil:

HOLY CRAP I GOT AN INTERVIEW!!!!!!!

Okay, so it's a Magistrate judge in West Virginia, but I DON'T CARE!!!!! It's actually near Pittsburgh, which is where I was born.

I GOT AN INTERVIEW!!!!!!!

I'm not at all surprised, my dear. However, I share in your joy, this is the first step!

Might I interject, too far from DL, my dear, but closer to the land of Flippyshark, which ain't bad!

CONGRATS!

[Kevy Baby]

Hopefully you had a river or body of water to jump into?No, but I frequently dowsed my head under the hose and dipped a rag into the ice water to wrap around my neck.

They're HERE!

YAY!See... I tTOLD you they were there

Is KB spying on you, BTD? ;)I wasn't spying, I was stalking

I think so. I suspect he is waiting for another chance to attempt to remove my bra. :evil:Oh, like it is hard to do...

[ozron]

Woo-freakin'-hoo, Pru!

[ozron]

Too bad strawberry daquiris don't make good "at-your-desk" drinks, LOL. It sounds really good right about now!

I have found my hot weather drink: a cucumber martini!

hmmm... It will be hot again later in the week.....

Get another shot? Or take it off?

Vodka, triple sec, cucumber, lime :cheers:

Get another shot? Or take it off?Take it off. Everyone knows that you are easy ;)

[BarTopDancer]

Take it off. Everyone knows that you are easy ;)

That is why my drink is the red-headed slut. DUH! :p :rolleyes:

I seem to recall that you uh...had trouble completing the task at hand. ;) :p :evil:

Chupacabra? Or just a really ugly pooch?

[Morrigoon]

As much as it sucks having to come in 1/2 hour earlier, it does have the nice tradeoff of being able to leave 1/2 hour earlier :)

So now I have only 1/2 hour to contemplate how very slowly time can pass when you're a college graduate sitting at a reception desk.

[JWBear]

Congrats Pru!!! :snap:

[Morrigoon]

No thanks to the Travel Channel's website (you think people want to see photos from the first to series, but only want travel info on series 3? Is this the TRAVEL channel, or what?), but I think I found the info on that really awesome looking place in Java:

http://travelwriter.ws/sampireun.html

[tracilicious]

...certificates commemorating the crossing, chocolate €uros, and so much more.

Ummm...NA, would you get mad if the rest of us were eating your husband on a cruise ship? I would so love to see a chocolate Euromeinke!

[Gemini Cricket]

Well, I just found out that I got the promotion I applied for at work.
Very exciting indeed.
:)

[wendybeth]

Drinks are on GC!:cheers:


(Wtg, you!)

[alphabassettgrrl]

Congrats, GC and Pru! :) Yay!! And BTD got her tickets- yay for you too!

Me, I'm just kicking back. Not a lot going on here. I think I have learned that 10 miles is my mountain-bike limit in truly hot weather. I made the 8 mile ride just fine, but the 15s kill me.

[Kevy Baby]

I seem to recall that you uh...had trouble completing the task at hand. ;) :p :evil:Well, I don't get any practice as my beloved goes without the boob-sling. Not that I am complaining!!!

[CoasterMatt]

We had an awesome event at work today to celebrate the end of summer - Dunk Tank Full O' Management!
(with bags of ice added to the water)
There was a DJ, and a big VIP tent and a bbq - I'm glad and sad that summer has come to an end (well, except for the silly heat).

[DreadPirateRoberts]

Well, I just found out that I got the promotion I applied for at work.

It's a lot cooler tonight. There's actually a breeze in the valley...

I just wanted to use my special LoT ready € key.

That is all.

I am tired.

And I hate Amazon for this foolishness that's going on. GRR...

[Mousey Girl]

I have removed most of the mold that was almost totally covering the ceiling and upper walls in the master bath (formerly known as David's bathroom). Unfortunatly I have also managed to removed most of the stenciling that the previous owner had done. Fortunatly I will end up repainting the room in the future.

I have started at the top (ceiling) and am slowly working my way down the walls.

Eventually I hope to make this my primary bathroom. I don't think I have even used it in the last 9 years. After a time I even refused to step foot in it. It is amazing what some bleach cleaner and elbow grease can accomplish.

[CoasterMatt]

Now Bornieo, next up, Xcelerator! :cheers:

[Gemini Cricket]

Now Bornieo, next up, Xcelerator! :cheers:
Run away, Bornieo!
:D



Actually, I thought it was pretty cool after Matt dragged me on it... kicking and screaming. Actually, I was kicking and Matt was screaming...
:D

[CoasterMatt]

Um... I said you didn't have to ride, and you insisted :D

[tracilicious]

I think someone violated my copyright - I'm a bit picky about who I let dip me in chocolate

I was picturing mini-euros. Like easter bunny sized. And dressed exactly like you are in your avatar. I would eat the head first.


That's all right - no copyright has been broken.

She said chocolate euromeinke, not chocolate €uromeinke.

:p


Damn it. After all this time I still don't know how to make that freaking symbol!

[NickO'Time]

Run away, Bornieo!
:D


Not to mention lock up you wallet on this one. You might just lose it.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Now Bornieo, next up, Xcelerator! :cheers:

I may have lost my soul but I'm not crazy...:eek:

[BarTopDancer]

I'm screwed. :(

[MouseWife]

Ah, Xcelerator....

There was a time when my Boy thought that everything you did that was a wee bit exciting was going to kill you {motorcycles, roller coasters, etc....it was right after his first dealings with death, his grandmother had passed away but I digress....}

We were at Knott's and the Hubster and the Son were going to ride it. My Boy and I stood at the exit to watch them. The Boy was like, 'They're gonna die!!!' and I laughed but then realized he was serious. I thought 'Oh shiet, that would really fvck up my kid if they did!!!' So, I really prayed to the amusement park Gods that this ride would be uneventful...and it was.

MG~ mold...ugh...I need to work on my sons room....he had a leak, not just mold like in the shower. {not my Boy had a leak, the bathroom next to his room did....thank God my Boy did not!!}

[MouseWife]

I'm screwed. :(

Would this be a good screw, or a bad one?

Your sad expression could mean it was disappointing.....

[wendybeth]

I'm screwed. :(

Why?

[Morrigoon]

Nobody else cares that Traci wants to eat Euro's head?

[€uroMeinke]

Nobody else cares that Traci wants to eat Euro's head?

I've no objections - then I'd be decapitated

[Not Afraid]

Should I be concerned?

[MouseWife]

You two. Just too easy...or else I'm just in a off color mood.

Kevy Baby. Such a cute name. There is a young guy at work named Kevin. I have to literally bite my tongue to not call him Kevy Baby. My husband thinks he has a crush on me but I think he is nuts. {hubby = nuts} But, I don't think calling him Baby, in any sense, would be good.

I do call him 'Kevin!!!' a la 'Home Alone'.

Yeah, I know. Wow.

Carry on.

Oh, wait, is anyone going to the KROQ Inland Invasion? I'd love to but this weather has been too hot to even consider a festival type show. But oh, if I could!!!!! Chris Cornell, The Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver, Smashing Pumpkins...to name a few....Wow, freakin' wow.

[MouseWife]

Should I be concerned?

I don't know...it seems That Guy is more concerned with being decapitated than, em, anything else. :blush:

[CoasterMatt]

I see Dave from the Foo Fighters around town all the time, why would I want to go see 'em in concert ;)

[MouseWife]

What??? Well, cause when you see him, he isn't singing, right? I saw them on their accoustic show but I'd love to have them rock out. Oooo, yes I would.

Oh, so he lives close by? Hello? Do tell!!

A friend of mine lives in New Jersey {or works there, lives nearby...anywho...} She told me that she sees Bon Jovi around town and the Bossman himself.

[tracilicious]

Should I be concerned?

Only if having a headless husband is a problem for you. Or, at least a headless chocolate miniature husband.

[Prudence]

October 29 is the magic date.

[DreadPirateRoberts]

October 29 is the magic date.

Almost heaven, West Virginia...

Ohhh! I just love West Virginia!

In MD we have to drive 55 on 5-Lane Interstates
In WV you can do 65 on twisty mountian roads. In the dark.

In MD sparklers are illegal due to being dangerous.
In WV you can purchase 12" shells complete with tube launchers.

I Love me the WV!

Good luck on the interview.

I'm spending my week training someone and getting trained at the same time.
My head's spinning.

[Mousey Girl]

Chicken likes grapes. Poohdog will eat grapes only because they belong to Chicken.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Careful how many grapes you feed Poohdog. My vet told me grapes (and raisins) are bad for doggies. I was surprised. It's kind of funny that he's competitive like that though.

[blueerica]

Didn't feel a thing and I was at work in HB.

[lindyhop]

We have a new outside auditing firm this year. I listened to one of them talk to my supervisor today. He explained to her how they like to follow one transaction from beginning to end. The first thing he wants to dig into is a fee we charge for booking airline tickets. We're talking about $35. I guess he'll get around to the real money eventually but let's make sure that $35 is okay.

:rolleyes:

[blueerica]

DCI Finals = awesome on ESPN2

Why, were you numb? I work in HB, perhaps next time you can share? :D
