Nap Time??!?!!!

Man, I moisturized this morning and everything, but my skin is painfully itchy from the dryness! Doesn't even seem that dry to the touch except every time I move I can feel it get all prickly.

Bring on the rain!

I baked for 13 hours on Saturday.

I'm still tired.

But, we have lots of yummies. :)

Wow, is it 2 already? Today is =FLYING by!

Okay so I have to ask this finally, Prudence, what is that cat in your avatar from? It's so freaking cute!

Everyone go home.

I wish :)

I'm already here. :D

But I don't want to go home!

Then stay there.

Is it an HP? I just had the same issue. And they only told me AFTER I sent it back that their repair center in Houston was screwed from the hurricane and it would take a month. And beware when they send it back that you will have to be home to accept delivery or pick it up at Fedex they won't leave it.

The Dodgers play at 5:20pm. I'm assuming you don't want to stay at work too long....

Who said he was at work?

Sooo... I guess I'm going to Monday Night Raw (WWE) tonight. My office has a box and tickets finally trickled down to our department, so I picked up a pair for the boy and I. He likes wrestling and we both like free, so yay :)

My condolences.

The Truth About Married Life ....
Three women friends, one in a casual relationship, one engaged to be married and one a long-time wife, met for drinks after work. The conversation eventually drifted towards how best to spice up their sex lives.

After much discussion, they decided to surprise their men by engaging in some S&M role playing.

The following week they met up again to compare notes. Sipping her drink, the single girl leered and said, "Last Friday at the end of the work day I went to my boyfriend's office wearing a leather coat. When all the other people had left, I slipped out of it and all I had on was a leather bodice, black stockings and stiletto heels. He was so aroused that we made mad passionate love on his desk right then and there!"

The engaged woman giggled and said, "That's pretty much my story! When my fiancé got home last Friday, he found me waiting for him in a black mask, leather bodice, black hose and stiletto pumps. He was so turned on that we not only made love all night, he wants to move up our wedding date!

The married woman put her glass down and said, "I did a lot of planning. I made arrangements for the kids to stay over at Grandma's. I took a long scented-oil bath and then put on my best perfume. I slipped into a tight leather bodice, a black garter belt, black stockings and six-inch stilettos. I finished it off with a black mask, ready for action.
When my husband got home from work, he grabbed a beer and the remote, sat down and yelled, "Hey, Batman, what's for dinner?"

So what the f is the "Rappahannock School for Girls". When you do a Google search (with the term in quotes), besides getting the LoT as the second site, it appears that one gets a lot of porn.

Which explains why, when one switches to an image search, there are only 16 images that come up, and ALL of them are from the LoT.

You shouldn't spend so much time in the sun - it isn't good for you.

That's odd.

What had you searching that term?

It is Gemini Cricket's current location and I believe that Lashbear used it in the past.

Well, the neighborhood hasn't burned down yet - but there's a scary orange glow on the hillside, and we occasionally get bits of ash.

This was a really fun anniversary, though - lot's of screaming and laughing. :cheers:

Hey people with dogs! It's time to humiliate your pet to win fantastic cash and prizes! Click here for more!

I didn't realize the fire had gotten near you, until just now, when they said that was the location of a staging area.

Please be safe.

Also, enjoy the rest of your anny!! :cheers:

Hee hee.
It started off a long time ago as an inside joke between Isaac and me.
It's an obscure (and funny) reference from an "I Love Lucy" episode.
I doubt if I'll find the clip on YouTube... but I'll give it a shot.
:)

eta: Couldn't find it, but I looooove this scene from another episode. They do such a fabulous job.

Had a visit with my new doctor. I really like him. He seems like the kind of guy who is level-headed and whom I can tell anything without feeling judged (which I have by previous doctors).

I may possibly have hypertension. (YAY genetics and crazy schedule!) I can manage my tonsils. (A story probably best saved for another day!) Both of my knees naturally hyperextend, and that's a portion of the reason I've been having so much knee trouble - that and the weight gain, etc, which is being worked on and I'm down 5 lbs! (Go genetics, again!)

All in all, not too shabby!

A non-judgemental doctor? I thought those were mutally exclusive things! Wow!

There are certainly some awful, judgmental docs out there, but the good ones are there too. My current doc is terrific.

If you would like to play doctor with me sometime, I promise to be totally non-judgmental! :D

Promises, promises. :evil: :p

This made me laugh. Just who is the idiot who started that rumor...

I actually got that in an email from someone who was a Disney fan. No one here, but I was very surprised at their ignorance in believing it!

I knew what it was straight out and I've never been to Florida!

I love Snopes.

Count me in! I'm alllll about furmiliation. No, Kevy. You can't watch.

Now if only they made a coelacanth costume for dogs...

I just unpacked the kitties' costumes. Ken's already hidden them. :(

He's a party pooper.

He's a good husband ;)

Then again I think dressing up animals is mean and owners deserve whatever punishment said animal decides to inflict :p

lol i dressed Lucy up in one of my Build a Bear fairy costumes lol...but i only did that once. They do have sweaters for the winter time especially going to my parents house for the holidays it's cold up there. Otherwise i leave them alone even though Lucy tolerates clothes on her. Ethel could care less.

It's from Two Lumps.

Ooooo, yummy!

*YAMMY*

:p




Aw, what a honey! I love Siamese! :)

A newly born white rhino stands by its mother at the Cerza zoo in Hermival-les-Vaux, France.



Aw! Cute!
:)

That's an awful dark white


But, yeah; he's cute (or she)

It's a good thought, and as a nonmammaltarian I've tried several "alternative" meat-like sausages, taco fillings, etc. I've found that soy protein, however disguised, just doesn't work outside its natural element. Tofu, sure, especially when stir-fried. Soy-sausage, soy-dogs, soy-taco meat -- no. I use ground turkey for those applications.

I was assuming that Tom's post about "meatless taco stuffers" was meant to inspire ribald comments.

Well, it IS a good source of protien, says so right there! ;)

You can keep it in your sausage nook.

Frugality and 3894 are not happy bedfellows.

Oh?

Resident Zoo Geek checking in here...
 

The "White" Rhino is actually a misinterpretation of the Afrikaaner name, which, although I'm don't remember the spelling, is pronounced "vight". The word in Afrikaans means "wide" and refers to the shape of the animal's mouth, as opposed to the other prevelent species in Africa, which has a narrow, triangular mouth (with, by the way, a prehensile upper lip!) and is, merely by comparison, known as the "Black" Rhino.

Our black rhino, Pete, is actually one of the sweetest animals I've met. He loves to be petted and scratched behind his ears. He and his mate, Miadi, had a baby named Imara about ten years ago. I got to meet Imara when she was about the size of the one in this picture! What a sweetie!

On a sad note, Miadi passed away about four years ago. Pete was slated by the rhino SSP to get a new mate this month. The new female was en route from Kansas City last week when keepers transporting her noticed her becoming agitated and shaking the truck just outside of Phoenix. They immediately contacted our vet, who contacted the Phoenix Zoo's vet staff. The truck reached the Phoenix Zoo and the staff there was heroic in there efforts to aid the distressed animal. Sadly, the female passed shortly after arriving at the zoo in Phoenix.

This was a young, healthy animal. All precautions, training and protocols were in place for the transport. Keepers transporting her checked on her condition every two hours during the trip, and until they got to Arizona everything was fine. A necropsy will be done to try and determine the cause of death.

Needless to say it was a very sad day at the zoo.

I was watching a show on Bravo when it was interrupted with an Emergency Alert - Child Abduction. It was very odd. Does this happen often?

I dont get interupted, but i dont have cable so its less likely to happen.

Update: surgen says everything is on track and theoretically the numbness in my chin will go away sometime by a year after the surgery... guess I get to get used to it. also, no more dietary restriction from him... so its down to the ortho's restrictions and such which are easy to get around anyway and for the braces and not my jaw ;)

my radio show is alright, kind of stressful when i dont have anyone to interview to fill in my breaks so i just read random copys from the news service we have... I hope to get some interviews and such taped and recorded before the time at the station is done for the semester... though im practically guaranteed a spot for next semester so I can claim i still have a show when needed.

ozron: Luckiest. Person. Ever!
Wow! That is so awesome. I want to pet a rhino. If it wasn't so extremely expensive to do it at the San Diego Zoo, I would have done it in a heartbeat.
:)

I heard about the rhino dying and it broke my heart. But I was picked right back up again when I heard about the newborn.

So this year, my mom handed me a watch that belonged to my grandfather. It's a classy, but not very flashy, piece. I like it a lot. It's comfortable, it looks nice, it's self-winding, and it's in better shape than the watch I had been wearing. So it's become my daily-wear watch.

A conversation last night may prompt me to not wear it so casually. While playing pool, one of the guys in the league asked to look at it. "That's a nice watch, I'm a collector." He didn't really say much beyond that other than to brag about a watch or two in his collection, but it got my wheels turning.

I haven't pinned down exactly the identity, but I did find one site that has what is clearly the same watch on sale for €400 (~$580). That site says it's a 1977 model, haven't found corroboration on that. As a counterpoint, I found one on Ebay selling for ~$90, so perhaps that first one was inflated.

The things I do know are that it's a model line from Omega that's been in existence for a long time (at least the 50s), most of them seem to be worth something, and this particular one appears to be hard to find as those are the only two I've seen online of my specific watch among thousands of other examples of the Seamaster line.

I say - wear it. The enjoyment you'll get from wearing it I think will outweight that that you'll get from looking at it occassionally as it's stored in a drawer.

Did your Grandfather wear it daily? Or was it for special occassions? That might give you some insight as well.

I honestly don't know if he wore it daily. He passed away many years ago, the watch surfaced recently.

And generally I'd agree that I'd rather wear it than sock it away, but I'm kinda rough on my watches, end up banging into things a lot, so I don't want to put this one through that. At the very least I need to stop wearing it daily to work where I'm pretty regularly squeezing my hands into small spaces between metal computer cases and components.

Maybe wear it on special occasions?

I just literally got sealed into my apartment with plastic sheeting. (They're finally painting our section of the building.)

I suppose it's a good thing I don't have a client meeting this afternoon, considering they didn't even knock on my door and say, "By the way, we're painting your area right now." They just started sealing me in, even though the blinds are open and they looked right at me!

I guess it's a good thing they're painting and not fumigating. :eek:

<insert Pulp Fiction ass-watch joke here>

I was thinking more Woody Allen:

"You see this watch.

I love this watch.

My grandfather, on his deathbed,

Sold me this watch."

I'm such a dweeb. Why do I insist on sending Obama direct messages on Twitter when I know it's probably some lackey who actually handles it? Yet I can't resist calling him out for not supporting gay marriage.

I'm feeling rather domestic today. I just made some Yukon gold potato salad, and also a batch of fresh extra hot thai chili oil with garlic.

I've had really bad sinus headaches for the last couple days, making my desire to edit almost nil. So, I figure I can at least work around the home.

Disco saves lives.

Of all the songs to save lives to, wouldn't you know it'd be the one called "Stayin' Alive".

John Smith started the day early having set his Alarm clock
(MADE IN JAPAN )for 6am.

While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA ) was perking,

he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG ).

He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA),

designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE)

and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA)

After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet
(MADE IN INDIA)

he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO)
to see how much he could spend today.

After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN )

to the radio (MADE IN INDIA )

He got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY )

filled it with GAS (from Saudi Arabia )

and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB.

At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, checking his Computer (Made In Malaysia ),

John decided to relax for a while.

He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL)

poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE)

and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA),

and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in AMERICA

Well, there's his problem: he's drinking French wine!

I just bought tickets for the as-yet-unnamed Cirque 2009 show in Montreal.

Yeah - but what's the solution. How do you buy American when there's nothing to buy?

I thought the free trade agreement was supposed to benefit us... that it would encourage other countries to buy from the US. Instead, it just seems like there's very little we here in the USA can buy from ourselves.

My Company is still producing electricity domestically, so fire up your gadgets and help feed our economy

I think the way I've always seen it is that a larger portion of the US has opted out of the manufacturing industry. Certainly, there are strongholds of manufacturing, particularly in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest, but that's mostly in the processing of food and certain manufacturing materials, but I've been under the impression that people are (generally) setting themselves up for higher education aspirations and that most people don't get their Bachelor's degree just so they can build a Barbie doll... maybe market that doll, but attaching heads notsomuch.

And that will be our country's undoing.

It's true. We need another industrial revolution type of thing.

If we could get cars that didn't use oil that we could build and sell worldwide, that could be it.

Start small and support small local businesses.

My friend Cam rocks.
He works on the 5th floor in his office building. Today the elevators are not functioning. So for lunch, he's having a pizza delivered to him.
"You know, so the delivery guy can walk the stairs and not me."
:D

Dude. He'd better tip. Heh. Smart though!

My thoughts exactly, he'd better tip.

I read back and didn't see anything mentioned about this {but I haven't checked other threads....}

I heard that the company that makes Mothers' Cookies has closed down? I believe it is a CA based company. The dj was saying how he went out and bought all that he could buy to sell on Ebay.

Check the banking thread, that's where you go to discuss cookies.

Sheesh :rolleyes:






;)

Doh!

Off to the banking thread...

which I guess I've been avoiding because, well, finances sucking so much it is just easier......

I'm sure you have class LONG after noon today.

Tick tock tick tock... is it 5 yet?

I am green with envy, it's just not in the cards for us this time. Have a great time but take a lesson learned from me....Do not wear high heels, the cobblestones are a killer!!

I barfed all night last night.

Details in my livejournal (no pics, thank heavens)

Living off liquids today.

Le sigh.

EEek - Hope you feel better soon!

Stop eating those poop shaped cookies Lash!

;)

At first I read that as "living off squids today" and thought, damn, that MF's tough if squids are comfort food.

I am slowly getting ready to go out tonight. It is the 2nd anniversary of our 20 year high school reunion. The theme of this year is everyone's 40th b-day party.

I am SO with you on that! :(

Feeling much better today, BTW.

I drove to Vermont today to go leaf-peeping. It was fun.

So I guess some files have been released regarding military UFO sightings: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27279684/

I think the theory that it was a US experiment in electronic warfare is an interesting one.

Palin looked uncomfortably hot in those boots at the end.

It suddenly got really bright outside. Not sure I realized it was cloudy before, but you kinda notice when all of a sudden it gets a whole lot brighter.

glad to hear at least SOMETHING is brighter today. the folks around me dont seem to be following suit :rolleyes:

So random thing, but my current avatar amuses me greatly - it looks like Obama's looking directly at what I've typed and is totally engaged in what I have to say, LOL.

Highest rated episode for SNL in 14 years.

Some of those sketches reminded me why I don't usually watch SNL. The engagement sketch, for example, dragged on for freaking ever and wasn't funny. They should have some way of quickly winding up sketches that aren't working.

They've had problems properly ending sketches for years. And years. The only one that ever worked perfectly for me, aside from the cold-open "live from NY..." and Weekend Update was the "you like-a the juice?" bit that ended in "you no like-a the sketch? You want-a the sketch-a to end? We end-a the sketch."

SNL has sucked for many years now. Someone needs to resurrect Phil Hartman...

SNL was great the past couple of seasons, imo. This season, aside from some of the political sketches and one or two off-the-wall sketches has been pretty flat. Even the digital shorts, which had been comedy gold, have been so-so this season.

We still haven't seen this weekend's episode.

So many of the great cast members are gone. Very sad.

Why are the neighbors making loud barfing sounds? I'm pretty sure they are not actually vomiting...in fact I think they are playing a game of some sort (between the barfing sounds I hear clapping and loud yelling/exhorting). Does anyone know what game involves barfing sounds??? You know, so I can not purchase it by mistake?

A couple of things I'm wondering about...

Why is Upland High School convinced that I attended that school and that life can't go on until I call and give them my current biographical information?

Why would the US Census try so hard to contact someone at a specific address? I've had the them knock on my door twice in the past week or so asking about my next door neighbor. All I could tell them was that I don't know his schedule but as far as I know he's still living there. Today I saw they'd left another business card on his door. In the time that these inquiries have been going on I haven't seen him at all and his van was parked in his space only once for a short time. The weirdest thing is that his living room window is wide open (but the blinds are drawn).

Chances are pretty good that it is not actually UHS calling, but a company that makes money by marketing an alumni directory. If you give them info, they will next be hounding you to buy the directory.

Been there, done that.

Yes, but I've never even been in Upland, let alone gone to high school there. I could call them and tell them they have the wrong person but I'm curious how many times they'll try to contact me. It's a postcard actually, not a call, and they insist "we do not want to print the directory without your current biographical information." Little me, holding up the whole process.
;)

Ooo! Oooo! I wonder if he is involved with the kidnapping case in Las Vegas?

{a stretch, I know....but it's all I have...}

The other thing, may be you share your name with someone who did live in Upland?

We get calls for a guy who has a name only somewhat similar to the Hubsters and we always get calls for his dad.

I had this funky allergic reaction to a cat last night at my friend's house. It totally made my eyes red and my eyes swell up. I took a Benadryl and went to bed. This morning, my eyes are red, burny and they sting. Bleh!

I think I'll stick to the more romanticized version, thanky very much.

(thanks for that none the less)


:argghh:

:(
:decap:



:eek:
:decap:


Just experimenting

My head cheese is sad?

How is that no one ever told me of the wonderful place that is the BevMo? Screw their alkyhaul selection - it's the soda rack that makes me giddy!

Pru... may I introduce you to Galco's?

I think i finally finished my 4 million tombstones for the dog parade on Sunday. I love doing events. I dislike redoing work that was already done but carelessly thrown away.

I hate when that happends! :(

I happened to look at my keyring today.

There are four keys on it that I have no idea what they go to.

Now I'm afraid to remove them.

Put them on a seperate keyring and put them in the "junk drawer". Then, years from now, you can really wonder what they were for... Like I do with my keyring. Funny that the one key I do need though, isn't on it.

I have a gazillion keys that I have no idea what they are for. Yet we cannot find the key to the pool, so we haven't taken a swim in years.

Yeah, All those damn handcuff keys look the same to me too.

yup. thats me to a T. I think that key ring weighs 2 or 3 lbs now. :rolleyes:

Oooh... who knew you guys were so kinky! :evil:

Using handcuffs is still considered kinky?

No, using a feather is kinky.

Using the whole chicken is down-right perverted.

Depends on where you use them...

ETA: I was responding to GD's post, but It's funnier with Kevy's.

It doesn't always work the first time - I have a better recipe for you if you want to try...

Sooo... I'm getting ready for a short four-day weekend trip to CT and NY for my mom's 30th anniversary shindig. It was going to be a longer trip, figuring that as long as we were flying cross-country, we might as well stay a while and see the sights, so we were going to go up to Montreal for a few days and then visit Stan4dSteph before flying home.

Then Jen found out her vacation request was denied. :( So now it's just me, and I'm now doing a red-eye flight Thursday night (SJC-JFK), driving to my mom's place in CT on Friday, still visiting Stan4dSteph on Sunday :) and flying home (ALB-SJC) on Monday.

I don't especially like traveling alone. But it's been quite a while since I've done it so I guess we'll see how it goes.

Oh, that totally bites. Why wouldn't they let her go?

She is the designated trainer for new people in her department, and within a couple of weeks two people left and one joined so she has to stay there and train the new person. If she left they'd be doubly shorthanded.

Bummer.

Oooh! I wanna go!

Bummer, Andrew. :(

I'm out of beer and wine. I want some wine but would take beer. It's raining. What to do, what to do...

Sooo....if I had casual come over and play board games night on either the 7th, 21st, or 22nd of November, would anyone want to come?

I'm glad you're still coming even though Jen can't come. At least I'll get to see her MA weekend. I'll try to make some pumpkin bread to ease the pain.

Hey there - we're in for this. A lot of people are breezing past the So thread these days, so I think it might merit its own thread!

If my schedule will allow, I'd be up for it. :) I won't know until after this next week though.

Oh, I don't know that it merits it's own thread. I just wanted to get a rough idea if anyone at all would be up for it or if November as a whole is just too busy.

I'm going for my first long-distance ride on the Lil Red Roadster tonight. I'm excited.

So, you could say you are riding your **** tonight?

By 2:30 I had decided that today was a lost cause, and came home.

First day back to work after a two week vacation. It was a short day.

Short because the moment I sat down at my desk I remembered that I had taken my laptop home on my last day of work before my vacation.

You're lucky. I'm still able to do my job without my laptop, albeit with many small inconveniences. I was back from vacation a week and a half ago and I finally today remembered to bring my laptop back in.

Normally I'd be able to function without a computer if I had to, but these aren't normal times around WaMu so I decided to not bother trying.

Did still manage to fill several hours walking around and getting verbal updates on all the rumors and politicking and whatnot during my absence.

It's been a long day. Somehow I thought that lashbear was excited about going to Red Lobster. Le sigh!

The vitals.

Funny...the Soooo... thread is the only one I'm reading with any regularity these days.

Ah, so then I'll expect you on the appointed day. ;)

I signed the lease on a condo tonight! It's way too small for all of us, but it's worth it to see only my name on a lease. With no official proof of income (as my $$ comes from as-of-yet unofficial child support and student loans), and Michael unwilling to sign a lease, I was pretty stressed about finding a place without an application that wasn't in the world's worst neighborhood. But the neighborhood is perfect, it's affordable, and my critters are welcome. My first solo place! Life is good!

Congrats! That's an important step for the two of you! I wish you guys the best!

The two of who? Just me in this move (and the chillins). But thanks!

Congrats on the new place! Even if it's small, it's still home and that is a wonderful feeling for you!

NASCAR branded shoes? You've got to be kidding me!

Dana Patrick shoes?*














*Do not faint, that is the only name I know in passing re NASCAR, except Dale Earnhart, and it took me 5 of the 7 years living in VA to figure out what the hell the numbers 3 and 6 were doing on the back of people's trucks. I still don't understand his apparent cannonization as patron saint.

Don't worry, you got wrong name wrong anyway, so you're in the clear.

As opposed to getting the right name wrong or the wrong name right.

Wow. I proof read the post and had initially written, "...you got the name wrong..." I wanted to change it to "...you got her name wrong...". Should have proof read one more time.

Random.... for some reason I was thinking about Pollyanna. Next call that comes up, is for someone w/the last name Harrington.

The Halloween costumes are 99% finished. I'm gonna go fall over now.

And I have all of 20 minutes before I have to move on to the rest of my agenda for the day.

Apparently today I am going to Glendale and the hollywood and highland area. And maybe Pasadena. Whee! Playing tourist!

A very nice, very beloved 1st grade teacher died after a very short illness. We need to go to the visitation, not the funeral but I don't wanna. I don't want to see her body. I want to remember her as we knew her years ago when she taught my daughters.

I'm sorry, Helen. Sounds like she'll be missed by many.

Wow.

Three days without a single "Sooo" post. Damn I'll be glad when all this distracting political crud is over so we can get back to talking about nothing.

I got another new haircut. Since I haven't posted pics from the other, I'll double up when I take new pics, either tonight or tomorrow... or this weekend. Haha..

OK... I've got something for the Soooo..... thread.

H and I have been thinking about buying a house for a long long time. Over the past couple of months, we've gotten serious - got a pre-approval letter from a mortgage broker, hired a local real estate agent, started aggressively searching...

Lats week, we made our first offer on a house. Unfortunately, two other offers also went in (in this market!) and the sellers countered with the original asking price. We couldn't get involved in that kind of deal, so we walked away.

Friday evening, we saw another place. Made an offer on Saturday morning. It was countered that evening. We came back with a second offer on Saturday night. They came back again (before their open house!) on Sunday morning. Our best and final offer is now in - their deadline to respond is tonight at 5pm.

It's been a crazy week. We've missed what by all accounts was an amazing party, we've eaten way too much crappy comfort food, and we haven't slept more than a few hours a night.

This is fun.

Yes, we've definitely been spending too much time on serious threads

Congrats to the Mousepods! I hope your bid is the one that seals the deal!

It's a long and often painful process, but it sounds like you are doing it the right way. Being willing to walk away is key.

Soooo... I'm back. There were some good parts, some "eh" parts and a really sucky part, but on the whole it was a pretty nice time. I stayed mostly offline the whole weekend so it's as if I effectively jumped ahead four days in the election countdown. Glad to be back.

Peter Tork IS important

Did you determine if he was vaginated or not?

C'mon... do you really even need to ask that question?

Sign that I really need this cup of coffee: I just attempted to plug my cell phone charger into said cup of coffee.

Mousepod: feeling stress is normal. Buying a house ranks right up there with being born for the amount of stress that accompanies it. But rest assured, it just means you're paying attention. Just wait till the day you sign your loan docs!

For us it was the signing because the bank tried to make some last minute changes to our loan we weren't too pleased about. We walked away from the table and after some interesting phone calls, our loan paperwork was modified to what it should have been.

Mousepod it will be all worth it when you sign the loan papers and get your house keys. My sister and her husband couldn't even sell their condo (they've tried more than 3 times i think) so be greatful there are houses out there and that you were able to get a loan etc.

I smell pumpkin pie. Dammit, I smell pumpkin pie!

Agreed. Having the home is totally worth it (although I admit a certain fondness for the mousepods' current digs, as well)

The bunny saga continues:

They freaking love each other and are practically inseparable. I kid you not.

A couple weeks ago, Munchkin finally gave in and started grooming Lito. Now Lito follow Munchkin everywhere, which she tolerates surprisingly well, only occasionally getting annoyed and shooing her away. They eat together, and we even left them in a single cage one evening (I think Munchkin was a little miffed over that one).

The new development this week is that Munchkin is actually letting Lito return the favor and groom her! Lito's still a little overzealous, clamboring onto Munchkin's back. She also has a short attention span. So wheras Munchkin would happily sit there and be groomed for hours on end, Lito gives a few licks and walks away - and for some reason usually deicdes that right over Munchkin's head is the best path. Leading to Kodak moments like this:



Best of all, Munchkin's finally out of her funk it seems. She's eating better, spending much more time hanging around us instead of lurking upstairs, and wants attention instead of bolting for the cage the moment you acknowledge her presence. Yay bunnies!

Silly wabbits.

Nice to hear that they're getting along better.

The fried chicken was definitely good. :D

That was a very good part! As was the coffee.

Well the red roadster did well, and I feel confident about riding to Forster when I get the chance (although at 50 miles per hour it takes a lot longer...)

Lashie, dear... A machine, like gloves, should be either black or white.

Or Red. Red is good. It makes you go faster.

And makes you more attractive to men

Why hasn't my Roseacea gotten me more dates, then?

Are we EVER going to see pictures?

Here's one

They accepted the offer. We go into escrow in the morning.

YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAW!

I spy chickens in your future.

Congratulations!

Congratulations Mousepod and H!!! How exciting for you.

Yay to the mousepodders!

Hooray!!!!!!

Congratulations Mousepod!

That's exciting news! Congrats!

Congratulations! How long is your escrow?

Goodness! Isn't that a rather personal question? ;)

Tinkerbelle came out today!

For those of you who know Dustysage....(no real opinion here)....I will always remember the day my Hubby met him. We were watching the Parade of Dreams, Tink came by on the Peter Pan float and Dusty said "that b*tch took my job"....Hubby spewed soda all over the first "board" people he had ever met....

Awww....the memories!

Tink is a dyke?!?

congratz on the new mousepad!

Yay !!!!! Congrats. :)

Congratulations Mousepod!!

Muchos congratulationos!!

388 posts. Has it been tht long of a day?


Congrats to the MousePods. I can't WAIT to see th house IRL.

How does she do that? Post and disappear right away.

Invisibility Cloak

It's Magic!!

She's Crazycatwoman... It's one of her powers....

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are some 70's things that must remain hidden and forgotten!

What? I'm right here?

And, what did I do to invoke Doug Henning? (Is that even his name?)

There aren't many things scarier than Doug Henning.

30 days. The general inspection is on Saturday at 9am.

So, our belly dancing class got postponed this morning. :(

GusGus and I were all ready to get shimmy wit it too. :(

Congrats, Mousepod! :snap:

Ugh, I better get some salt if I'm going to be eating these words.

A new day brings a new dynamic. Out of nowhere, Lito is now constantly trying to mount Munchkin, much to Munchkin's dismay. :rolleyes: And Lito is relentless, ignoring Munchkin's rather forceful hints to stop. This morning was nothing but cartoon-style whirlwinds of fur and bared teeth (no actual damage, or real attempt to damage, just trying to get a point across), and we had to grab Lito and lock her up to stop it.

At least they're still inseperable. :rolleyes:

That whole "be careful what you wish for thing" strikes again.

Congrats to the 'Pods!

So, adding to the random things I've learned from doing the New York Times crossword puzzle every day:

Taco Bell is named after its founder Glenn Bell.

Dr. Albert Falls?

I've decided to quit my job and join the circus.

Huh? That picture would inspire me to do the exact opposite.

And, of course, everyone knows that Walt Disney was such a great admirer of Kirk Douglas that he named Disneyland after Ned Land, Mr. Douglas' character in 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.

Can't tell from the responses, but I'm serious about Taco Bell. Glenn Bell founded the company in San Bernardino in the mid-1950s.

Figured you were, but it's still funny :)

I also love hearing about pockets of success. Da Vinci and Michaelangelo. Gore being a roomie with Tommy Lee Jones.

Makes me wonder what was in the air that McDonald's and Taco Bell both came out of San Bernardino within a few years of each other.

I don't know, but I think a lot of it ended up in the food.

The Inland Empire also birthed Del Taco and Naugles, both chains started by Dick Naugle. The first Del Taco was in Corona.

I think it was "Unwrapped" on Food Network explained that Bell used to work for McDonalds and the founder of McD suggested that Bell start a mexican fast food place.

As I understand it.

Edit: Blah - it was Weinershnitzle founded like that. :pancake:

Wiki says Bell was "inspired by McDonalds to start the fast food place. :)

Could be. The Wikipedia page for Taco Bell tells a different version (he'd run several of his own things, experimenting with alternative foods that wouldn't be in direct competition with the already successful McDonald brothers hamburger restaurants).

But Wikipedia isn't exactly reliable and my knowledge is limited to that page and the NYT crossword clue this morning that prompted me to look at it.

The Wikipedia page for Del Taco says that the first Del Taco was in Yermo, followed by three in Barstow, and then the fifth one in Corona, which was the first with a drive-through window. It was with construction of the fifth store that Dick Naugle joined the company (though see previous caveat about Wikipedia sourcing).

So, I'm a recent convert to putting cream in my tea, specifically chai. Well, not cream. Non dairy creamer, or the somehow more disturbing "whitener". My question is this. Anyone have tips for how to efficiently pour that stuff from those Coffee Mate containers. One of these:



and now for the race to the "submit to Quotes" button
It seems I turn it over, two specks of the stuff comes out and then the hole is plugged up. I shake it, smack it, wiggle it, bang the cup against it. Nothing I do seems to increase the flow of the white stuff.

There's got to be some trick. Half of my tea break is spent trying to get enough creamer!

Yermo? Seriously? That town is no bigger than a Del Taco, how could they have birthed franchise!

Huh, one of those "facts" I grew up with in Corona. At least we got the drive-thru window.

My dad used to joke that the burgers at Naugles were made from Nauglehyde. Got a laugh, every time.

Tea break? What are you, some kind of elitist?

Sounds to me like moisture has gotten into your coffee-mate. Try unscrewing the lid and using a spoon.

Open container. Insert spoon. We buy the costco sized ones and that does the trick nicely.

buy the liquid variety?

Powdered "creamer" is the Devil's instrument!

It's what the company provides sadly. Sans spoons.

Communist elitist, if you must know.

Agreed! Buy a bag of shelf-stable creamer tubs and keep it at your desk. That powder stuff is only good for flaming dragon breath.

Or you could just bring a cow to work with you.

It is! It's highly flammable.

Mr. Bell also founded Bell Gardens in Valley Center. A working farm you could tour. I'm finding confliciting information on if it's still operational. We took Madz there a few times.

nah, not even the devil himself is THAT evil

Looking at reviews on a Yahoo travel review site it closed in 2005. I just called the number listed for it online and it rang without answer.

Prior to opening it, give the "creamer" container a good shake, and maybe tap the side of it against the side of the counter/table. That'll help separate the grains. Also, when you pour it out, don't tip it upside down, as that forces all the contents down against the lid, compressing it back into a near-solid block. Instead, tip it sideways and give it a gentle sideways shake like you would a glass ketchup bottle.

I have fond memories of the Naugles in Placentia... It was our after school teenage hang-out...

Amusing sequence of posts that actually aren't related

I did it! I finally broke down due to an unexpected windfall 75% to bills 25% for me as a treat, I bought a laptop!

I'm so excited, this is my first laptop and my first PC since 2000. I can finally retire the old Dell 8200 (which is still chugging along).

My inner geek is very happy right now. I know, it's not a Macbook pro, (nor is it a hand built masterpiece from the Nuclear Muffin Test Kitchen) but this will last me quite a while and it was $800 thanks to the employee discount we get through the firm. And, it's RED!

Cool! Congrats!

Cool!

Damn commies, spreading the creamer around.

Congrats on the laptop. I love my little Acer and it works does nicely for what i need it to do. Loving the fact i can sit and lay on the couch and type rather than at a desk like previously. :) I would have never managed without it for this last tour for tickets and to upload all my pics and video from one night before the second night's show.

Snowflake thanks for the mojo comment. :) I love sharing my tour stories and everything. :) This laptop wouldn't have made last tour as easily accessible in things i needed prior to not having a laptop. :) Now if only i can actually meet Jon and Richie in person then i would be fullfilled...lol but hey having part of a dream come true can't ask for more...lol

YAY for Lapflake's Snowtop !! Er, you know.. Once you go Laptop, you never go back.

and....

Guess who's getting a 16Gig Black iPhone tonight ???
:D :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

lil bit happy, I is.

Congrats on the new tech, Snow and Lash!:cheers:


Soooo....I was reading the local news, and they had a series of photos from a movie that is being filmed here. They had to close a good part of downtown for some stunt scenes, which no doubt pissed a lot of people off, but what I found amusing was all the pictures of cast and crew in Nanuck gear. I shyt thee not- just about every person was wearing heavy duty coats and such. I think our low was about 40 last night, but today it was about 55 or better. What a bunch of pansies.:D

You should see all the people from Washington that are complaining about "melting" when it's 90 degrees out at Universal.

I think this board is going to be one dull place come November 5.

naw.

Lol- I wasn't aware Washington had all that many people. Must be Seattleites, as Spokanites are tough. We're used to 100 degree plus temps. We're also used to monster snowfalls. It snows an inch over there and the whole city shuts down.

Probably - I don't recall anybody from Spokane being anything but cool.

I've got nothing planned Nov 5th ?

Naw... We'll just find something else to argue about.

I would have to say the same about all the (1) Universal employees I know;).:cheers:

What if I don't feel like arguing, eh? You ever think of that? Noooo...it's all about the JW Bear, isn't it? Never mind what other people want to do. Maybe I won't want to argue anymore. Maybe I just want to, like, sing or something.

You gotta problem with that, mister?









(You should- I'm a terrible singer.)

Sounds kinda like where I live. L. O. L. Har. Har. :)

At my company, the Spokanites are among my favorites.

Update from DisneylandNews on Twitter:

I want to know how many Churros are wolfed down.

I want to know how many come back up! :eek:

One of the articles on the MSN main page is described as:

"Trick or treat?
Find out if that candy is good or bad for you"

Really? ... REALLY? Can I get a HELL YEAH from the Obvious Department of Obviousness?

(It's actually a comparison of "best and worst" Halloween candy)

So has anyone read anything concrete on the "pay as you go" AP plan? Al said it's coming fo' sho' in November but I don't recall an official date....

I'm suprised at the Twizzlers and the Skittles - I would have thought those not as bad as some of the chocolate. Perhaps it's the serving size... I wasn't paying much attention to that and now that the windows closed, I'm too lazy to go back and look.

World's Heaviest Man Gets Married

Sounds like his diet's going pretty well, too. (that's not snarky, he's lost hundreds of pounds)

Yes, but chocolate has antioxidants. That evens out the playing field......

;) :snap:

I don't know about that ... but does your posting in the Soooo thread mean you've fulfilled the membership requirement of reading it in its entirety?? ;)

I'm watching Purple Rain for what seems about the 1,000th time tonight.

sweet. I jus wish i could do something more drastic . . any suggestions?

Bake Exlax brownies for the Yes on 8 supporters.

That and carry a "Protect Marriage. Vote No on Divorce" sign. :D

A guy who works with my dad HAS that on a bumper sticker.

The guy with that sticker also has a "Obama Has My Vote, He Can Fvck My Sister, too" sticker - he's a real winner :)

Ah carp! You just reminded me that in order to get my paycheck and drop off my time sheet I have to brave protester's corner. There is a major intersection that is really popular with protesters. Luckily my mind is already made up to vote no on 8, if not the antics of last week would have made me vote yes.

I saw that on the tube yesterday afternoon. I don't think I've ever watched the entire thing at once. I was reminded just how much the acting sucked even though I love the music. Or at least I did back in the day...

Rainin' in Burbank.

Rain in Burbank.

Well, it's Halloween. Of course it's raining! Since I've been out here, it almost always does.

Clear and in the 60's tonight. Perfect weather for this evenings festivities.

is it purple?

Are we going to party like it's 1999?

It's a Dead Man's Party!

Whose antics would make you vote yes?

You may not remember the traffic snarling street marches over AB101 several years ago. If Prop. 8 passes, I'm guessing the peaceful street marches of then will be a fond memory of the past. If 8 passes, you might want to avoid "protester's corner, " it will probably be like trying to drive through New Orleans Square during Fantasmic.

Then again, my hope would be that you'd get out of your car and join the protest. This is a truly fvcked up bit of hatery.

BTW, let me point out, the yes on 8 ads have exposed more children to the concept of gay marriage than leaving us alone would ever have. Good jorb, ProtectMarriage.aholes.

As long as I see the segment with Appollonia's boobies, I am happy.

Glad to know the weather in Burbank remained consistent for a whole minute :D

I can explain. It was two specific posts that targeted two different audiences. The first was for Joe Six Pack and Sarah Hockey Moms. The second was for everyone else.

:D

Maybe you're just like my mother. She's never satisfied.

Why do we scream at each other?

This is what it sounds like

When pugs fly.

That was the exact scene I saw - the one with the blurred out breast-eses.

Actually, no snow here, which I would imagine the first layers start to fall. Of course we were a few weeks early with our first snow, which ended up massive, followed by 70 degree temps.

We'll be getting snow/rain on Sat/Sun.

Overcast and rainy in Palo Alto / Mountain View. Lovely day!

We have weather here in Costa Mesa

That's hysterical because that's whose voice I heard when we were going the whole "When Doves Cry" route.

:D

Why I love the Science Channel:

Who else would do a Halloween show called "Punkin' Chunkin'" all about people building catapults, trebuchets and slingshots for the purpose of competitive pumpkin tossing?

They're re-showing it later, if you get the channel

Junkyard Wars did that a few years ago. Pretty crazy.

Apparently I am too old to stay up this late. I'm exhausted.

Not just you, I'm dyin'. Why am I still awake?

Hey! It's raining!

In SF too, with howling wind gusts, too! It's fabulous! :)

Okay I almost never click on random photos on the first page of photobucket, but this one was too cool not to:
http://gs54.photobucket.com/groups/g...dartcarved.jpg

Its raining here in Garden Grove right now. Boy, it seems like years since we got rain....

Hmm... maybe I should bring my jacket to work today...

So at first 2AM last night I glanced at my cell phone. It was displaying a message. "Windows Mobile has reset your clock for daylight savings time." And sure enough the clock read 1AM.

When we got home, shortly after second 2AM, I pulled my phone out of my pocket. And there again was the same message. And sure enough the time was now two hours back!

I sure am!

Wow, Microsoft has conquered time travel. How is it back there in the past? Here is the present/future it's very cool. Flying cars and jet packs and everything.

I've been awake all night for no good reason.


I knew you'd all want to know.

Oh, and my hands smelly weird. Not bad. Just weird. :rolleyes:

Sorry to hear that. My insomnia comes and goes but, with one exception last week, has been relatively quiescent lately. Tonight might be a different story.

I feel weird. It's election day. Seems like a normal day so far, but it's not.

I don't even have something patriotic to wear today except my "I voted" sticker. Partisan stuff not allowed at my job. I need more red white and blue stuff.

Well, I'm wearing blue and my Obama 08 & No on 8 buttons. While it is not encouraged at work, several staffers have had things up at their desks (mine has only been a print of the NYTIMES Bullwinkle Assasinated) my leanings have been obvious. Since it is election day, I figure I can wear some more obvious buttons. How typical, one of the attorneys asked me, how did you vote on Prop K (prop to rename the sewage plant after W)? While I find it amusing, I voted no, it's a waste of funds.

Absentee, they do not give us I Voted stickers in the package (damn) and I did not want to stop in a polling place and try to get one.

what more does one really need?

In honor of the United States long standing policy of generous foreign aid packages, I gave my "I Voted" sticker to a foreign devil that works in my office. She wanted the free Starbucks coffee.

and did you inform them that all they had to do is walk in and ask for some coffee?

the giveaway being tied to the sticker was abandoned after it determined that it was against campaign law...so SB decided anyone who asked for a free coffee, could have it...sticker or no.

Krispy Kreme is doing the free giveaway as well.

No. :evil:

excellent. just checking ;)

I COULD HAVE GOTTEN A DONUT??? *&!$*#*$&##!!!

Don't forget that today is that Starbucks give away too. Show them proof that you voted and they give you a free tall brewed coffee. I don't drink their brewed coffee so I don't know if it's good or not.
:)

That's what you get for committing voter fraud.

I think someone needs a good cup of coffee this morning.

Technically it was not "voter fraud", it was retail fraud.


(Plus the nearest Krispy Kreme is over 10 miles away.... )

You helped someone lie about voting. Sounds like vote fraud to me. Criminal.

All the sticker says is "I voted". I happen to know for a fact that she voted absentee in the most recent election held in her God forsaken homeland. If the staff at Starbucks choose to interperate the sticker as relating to one specific election, that's not my problem.

My polling place didn't have any stickers.

My sticker:

Wha? you get fancy stickers!

Sorry to interrupt LoT's 2587’th election discussion… But…

I was just selected as the new representative for my district for the OC chapter of NEW-PATHS !

I want a fancy sticker! /cries

Congrats to you JW!!

We should celebrate with free coffee, donuts and ice cream!

Happy, happy, happy girl today.


I got my braces off! It's looks (and feels) great! I'm going to go out and buy a bag of caramel corn and some beef jerky.:D

That is fabulous. I remember when I got mine off - my teeth felt very slippery and I couldn't help but run my tongue over them again and again. :cheers:

Then move here.

I hope you won't be comsuming them at the same time!

Congrats! This brings to mind a quote from Soupy Sales, be true to your teeth and they'll never be false to you.

Skulking away now......

Emancipated teeth?

I'm going to Albuquerque in January, for a BIG dealie Union meeting.

Albuquerque should be pretty in January ... they might have snow.


Wenchy ... congrats big time on your braces-be-gone. Come down here and show us your freedom-teeth!


Now ... would everyone please stop posting in anything but the Daily Grind today! Sheesh, folks!

Congrats!

What was wrong with the old paths?

Yeah - no more organ grinders!

No

I hear there is free coffee to be had.

...And doughnuts!

huh? free coffee? why? is something going on today?

Thanks to fancy sticker photo, I now realize who Andrew is.

And I've spent all day with a stomach ache.

And I hate my job again.

But my old vet will mail me my cat's potassium powder, so I can put off finding a new vet for at least another month! Yay!

Andrew does have that effect on people

I think I'm gonna have the "I Voted" sticker tattooed on my chest.

Guess I should have shaved.

I just finished my free coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Was there free coffee?

Starbucks gave free drip coffee to anyone who went in & said they voted.

Something tells me that it's going to be a long and repetitive election day.

I'm still feeling the coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

This is kinda bad though. I have a trade show tomorrow, and therefore, a very early morning.... :eek:

Lol- emancipated teeth overshadowed by emancipated voter euphoria. Happy, happy girl tonight. I was irked when they moved my ortho appointment to today, but as things turned out it helped make it into a very great day.:D


Now, I just have to remember to wear the damn retainer.

I sleep now.

Gingerbread Lattes at Starbucks are here!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!

I feel a mess due to lack of sleep. But still, I've got a small smile on my face today. :)

The Good: Seeing all the happy faces at work today.

The Bad: Having to tell a group of employees to stop discussing the outcome of the election. (Political discussions are not allowed in County offices.)

You could have also gotten free Ben and Jerry's and free Chic-fil-a (or however they spell it).

Hey, did you hear they were giving away free coffee at Starbucks and free ice cream at Ben & Jerry's on Nov. 4th? Man, I wish I had a time machine.






:D

Don't forget fresh corn on the cob! :D

:(

Still it was a great win for democracy so I expect I'll get over it. After all, it's not like I could have had free coffee from Starbucks.

Very true...damn Starbucks! :p

S'mores sounds really tasty right now, doesn't it?

In desperation last weekend whil it was raining, I used Pepperidge Farms Chessmen cookies topped with marshmallows and broiled them in the toaster oven. I can say, they were incredible. I had no chocolate, but these really did not need it.

We're getting ready to go camping. S'mores it is!

Something tells me that it's going to be a long and repetitive election day.

I found my pants.

You got some of that GPS underwear didn't you?

What did you do in the interim? Wear a kilt?

He enjoyed the breeze.

I'll be on my way to CA in one week! :D

Are you coming out for MA? :)

Yes! I'll be part of the staff. Perhaps I will finally get to meet you. :)

She's hoping to catch a glimpse of CM without pants.

Or in his kilt.

Why must my dogs frolic in the mud and then deem it their mission to run upstairs and jump on my bed the moment they come back in the house? :rolleyes:


This does not make for a happy doggie mommy. :mad:

Very cool. Mr. Swanie and I are flying in Saturday morning and this time we'll be staying at the Pier.

Regardless of what the rest of the staff says about me...keep an open mind, ;)

Well, I'm going to Alberquerque in January - but I may be hopping on a plane to Sacramento this next week, to give Mr. Governator some "input" on his new budget ideas.

This just makes me sad

O and I went to see RENT (the HS version) at her school this weekend. Public kudos to her school for being bold enough to produce a controversial musical with thought provoking themes and for encouraging a bunch of upper-class kids to think outside of their narrowly defined lives (they tied the production to several charitable causes supporting AIDS/homelessness and drug addiction). I love O's school but sometimes I am so proud she belongs to such a great community which encourages the kids to think beyond themselves. :snap:

This I have learned this bright crisp morning...

The world is a larger place that one might think. Even things in your own neighborhood are more distant than expected.

My new suede coat, while the height of business casual style, is not as warm as I thought.

Change is actually good for some things.

Having a driver take you to work is really quite relaxing.

Overall, taking the bus because of car troubles, not that bad.

a HS production of Rent....wow. bold. truly bold. :snap:

I really wish this were an option for me (without being a 2-1/2 hour commute with multiple bus changes.). Color me jealous!










Oh, and your estimated arrival date is still wrong (in your signature). According to my calculations, you aren't arriving until 6/14/17.

Haha, this travel show just drew a comparison between Salzberg's worship of Mozart and Memphis' Elvis mania.

Mozart... the Elvis of Austria.

This amuses me.

I'm pretty sure I saw Mozart at the 7-11 last week.

If any of our resident hockey fans are interested, I have 2 Ducks tickets available for December 14th game against Minnesota. These aren't my tickets (a friend has 2 seats and will be missing the game) and I'll be in Vegas.

Section 433, I think row E or F $32 each.

PM me if you're interested.

For GD & CP

I thought nose bleed territory at a hockey game is down low when a puck goes flying into the crowd?

With the stinkin' nets they have put up at NHL games, the chance of a puck coming anywhere near spectators is nil.

Me no likey the stupid nets. So what if some little girl got killed? It's HOCKEY for cryin' out loud!!!

Ha! My friend Cam wants me to be friends with T.O. on Facebook. I think not. I'm alright with Dallas but the guy has some mega-attitude. Screw him. But I am a Romosexual, baby! And I really love the Patriots. T.O... psssh.

I don't think I'll ever go see a hockey game again. :(

Totally! Though I bet the kids loved it. I was a high school senior when it came out, and I was full-time obsessed with it.

The kids and parents both loved it, it was sold out all 3 nights. O and her friend loved Angel and really "got" all of it except for Angel's death. They didn't really get the symbolism and asked what happened to him (although they know what AIDS is they just didn't get that he had died). The school had rated it PG13 but really there was nothing in it that I would deem inappropriate for 3rd graders, unless you haven't (or don't want) to discuss issues like homosexuality, homelessness or AIDS with your kid yet (which is cool-- you teach your kid things when they are ready to learn it).

Again, proud of the kids, proud of the school, proud of the theater director and proud of the head of school. :snap:

Sooo... I think the hospital elevator needs to pump up the lounge music and do something with the lights overhead. They're way too retro to do nothing with them.

Just saying...

Plus, it would totally take away that herbal-medicinal-mint-depressant affect the hospital has on me as I leave the building.

I just discovered a little baby catfish in our fishtank swimming around w/Mommy and Daddy catfish.

It looks just like this big one, only it's about this big: <-->.

Okay, so it's no puppy or kitteh...but it's still pretty darn cute. :D

Ooooh, that is teh cuteness, a baby catfish. Sweet.

I sneezed so hard I split my lips in four frigging places! And of course everyone around me is funny and in a good mood. OF COURSE!

Ya, not so much. Not as cool as club level but you can see the entire game from the seats without having to watch the jumbotron. There are no bad hockey seats in Honda Center. It's too small.

But thanks for playing ;)

Aww! Get a picture! Yay fish. :)

I read this as and I was like, wut? Cause, like, me too!

LSPEFTG!

I have finally returned to LoT! It's been awhile- I was busy with my new man, costuming, work, moving, cleaning, partying, being sick, etc.

Sorry I missed Bat's Day. :( I am planning to get a new Annual Pass soon!

~G.

HAHA! I just heard "The Best of Both Worlds" and immediately thought Clerks... NOT Hannah Montana!

Whoops!:blush: Good thing I keep my mouth shut!

LOL! ;)

Aw, man... this would've been fun to go to.

Would have? Is it Sold Out?

NYE is spoken for.
