... wow. Um... ok. Well. That explains that flavor.

Question:... how does "it" vary the flavor? I mean... really.

*sad face*

that monkey peed in my coffee.... *sad face*

Hey... no giving the secret away until everyone's had a cup.:D

I tried my best.

... btw. Changed my signature. Thanks west + jilted.

Hey..............no giving the secret away until everyones had a cup.:D

Sorry!

There...

Sorry!

there...

No problems "west"... just kidding :-)

No problems "west".......just kidding :-)

Well, I wouldn't want to ruin it for HC, she'd probably get a kick out of it.

West, apparently, according to alty, I'm supposed to be hitting on HC.

I ask you for opinions as

1. you and I've kind of been on the same page since we both joined this forum
2. mainly because it's entertaining... as HC will see exactly what you say come tomorrow morn.

What kind of opinion are you looking for? My opinion on the idea of you and HC? Or my opinion on "forum flirting"?

Uuh... HC definitely seems wise enough, apparently successful, personally; history appeals to me... uuuh... I don't what else to say.

As far as forum flirting goes... I think alty may be just entertaining herself.

Go for it... you love coffee, she loves coffee... what more do you need?

But if things work out... remember... tacos and pool.

Entertaining myself? Honey, I'm not that bored.;)

I really think that Sneezy and HChicky would get along. They're both such sweeties and I like to see nice people find each other. If I have to give it a little push than so be it.:)

Need I point out that they obviously don't need be to instigate flirting between the two of them. Although I will admit that I put the idea into their heads, they've been doing fine without me since then.:cool:

Tacos and pool, hee,hee, don't forget the coffee!

Alty Out!

Entertaining myself? Honey, I'm not that bored.;)


I was reading back on this thread... it entertained me... and I am THAT bored... lol.

Well I'm glad I provided a bit of entertainment. Do I have to find a nice girl for you too? Let me know, I'll get right on it. If the answer is yes, I'll need a list of the things you're looking for in a girl. I'll be waiting.

Alty

So. HC.

... how's your coffee this weekend? Doing anything nice for st. patty's day?

Hee, Hee, you go boy. Never give up, never surrender. Move to Nashville. ;)

You're working with a pro her boys, after all, I met my husband when I was 19 years old, we've been married for 13 years. Oh God, we've been married for 13 years, I've been with him for almost half my life. Why did I do the math? I really am old. I've got to lie down now, an old broad like me really should be getting to bed earlier than this. Where's my tylenol and heating blanket? I'll talk to you all tomorrow, if I can drag my poor old body down the stairs and remember how to use a computer. Sigh.:eek:

Alty over and out!

Wow... I leave you guys alone for a little bit and look what happens?

I could get used to starting Mondays off with ego boosting stuff like this! Lol!

Sneezy - my coffee this weekend was strong and plentiful... I think I drank half a pound of coffee... crazy, but boy, it was gooooooooood! St. Patty's day? Nope, but I am wearing green, so no pinches! I was actually thinking of Synn's suggestion - bubble bath, glass of wine, and a good book.

Wild woman, huh? Between that and my non-naked windows I'm a catch! ;)

I am NOT wearing green in hopes of having SOME form of human contact.

Just kidding. That's creepy.

I am skipping my first class as I'm relatively sure my professor's hung over... so no point.

I think I'm going to have cereal + coffee. Anyone try that?

Wait a minute... tacos and pool? I'm going to need some enlightenment guys...

M, wow... that was quite the cup o' coffee... maybe that's why some coffee is more bitter than others... ewwwww

Coffee as the milk in cereal? Mmmm... no, haven't tried that... yummm... that has some serious potential, Sneezy!

Oh West, you're sweet... thanks for the kudos. ;)

You keep complimenting me like that, I'm going to have to go up to nashville.

Off to class. Stay fresh.

LOL! Sweet. You're sweet. Have a good class.

Where's my girls this morning? Alty? Starty? Synn?

Oh!


Happy St. Patty's Day, everyone! First cup is on the house! :)

For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!


"PINCH" (if you are not wearing green) :)

How's a nice cup o' coffee with a splash of Irish Cream do you, this lovely, lucky morning?

I just want to say that I'm having a hard time finding something green to wear this morning, because most of my green stuff is lighter weight, and it's SNOWING, dang it!

(and I haven't seen a robin yet!)

No Robins here either and it snowed yesterday.

Would anyone believe that I'm wearing Green underwear?

Happy Saint Patty's Day Everyone.

Coffee is a must have this morning, I only got two hours of sleep last night. Yawn.

I thought saint patty's day got moved to Saturday... isn't it holy Monday today?

Green. I'm green. Its not easy being green. Green eyed monsters. Greenies (I like greenies) Green goo. Green Slimer (Ghostbusters). Green beer. Green Goblin. Greenish. Green Power. Green...

I'm out.

:)

(let me just tell you... a loooooooong meeting does not a happy HC make! Grrrrrrr... een! )

I didn't check the calendar. All I know is that my kids had to wear green to school today or risk being pinched.

I had to drive the kids to school, we missed the bus (my bad) and I wasn't wearing green. One of the little boys in my daughters kindergarten class came up and pinched me, he's lucky that I had a cup of coffee before he did that, otherwise he might have ended up learning how to fly. I hate it when the kids miss the bus. UGH, driving in the morning sucks. I have to go through 3 school zones before getting to my kids school, going 30km/hour isn't my style. I'm grumpy.

Time for another cup of java. Where are the girls? HC, Starty, Synnen, where are you? Not that you aren't good company Sneezy, you're Great!

How about great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts?

I thought saint patty's day got moved to saturday...isn't it holy monday today?

Hadn't heard that... anyone else know?

HC, I was told that you were a writer. You have meetings?

Driving kids to school is one of those joys I won't experience... at least for another 5 - 10 years. The M-word still stops my heart just a little bit.

LOL!! That's awesome Alty... poor kindergartener... learning to fly... love it.

I'm going to Starbucks for lunch... for one of my divinity-in-a-cup espresso concoctions. Mmm... bad meeting = intense need for caffeine.

ireland.com - Breaking News - St Patrick's 'day' moved to 15th (http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2007/0718/breaking85.html)

HC, I was told that you were a writer. You have meetings?

Driving kids to school is one of those joys I won't experience...at least for another 5 - 10 years. the M-word still stops my heart just a little bit.

Yes, I am a writer. Long story short, my company relocated from Tampa Bay. When they relocated they lost 75% of the staff. The 15 man editorial/curriculum development department was reduced to lil' ol' me. Sooo... I am the go-to-girl for anything print. New ad campaigns, internet FAQs, curriculum reprints, initial curriculum development, articles for print, magazine ads, legal junk, presidential speeches, you name it, I write it.

This was a marketing meeting... a marketing meeting that I walked out of with three more projects on TOP of my original 7.

Oh well... I just need more coffee... the more coffee I drink the faster I type! :D

ireland.com - Breaking News - St Patrick's 'day' moved to 15th (http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2007/0718/breaking85.html)

I MISSED IT? So not fair...

Okay Sneezy, we believe you. St. Patty's day has officially been moved, I can now take off my green underwear.:p

HChicky - My hubbies on nights this week so he's going to pick my daughter up from school, do you think I should ask him to stop at Starbucks on the way back? Alty happy, hubby happy, that should convince him.:)

Definitely! Tell him to get you my concoction! Its divine... really... you will be a very happy Alty!

... falling asleep. Sadly, I was up with you alty. Why? Not sure why. I've been having trouble sleeping lately.

up until 530. Woke up at 7. realized class wasn't going to happen. Went to 930 class. Back home for lunch. Going to work. Home for dinner. Out sbucks to do more work.

... when will this madness end?

oh yeah, in less than 2 months =D

2 months! You can do it! What is a brief 2 months, but a puddle in the grand oceanic scheme of things? Will we have to address you as DocSneezy from then on? ;)

Not sleeping? That's not fun. I know I slept really well this weekend... dressed windows (i.e. non-naked) are much better than blinds for keeping light out... Ooo... there you go, Sneezy... get yourself one of those fluffy "DIVA" sleep mask things...

Maybe not "DIVA"... I'm sure they'd have a more masculine one... :D

I heard it, and decided that the Vatican was on crack.

Like they're going to move parades and such in big cities like Chicago that take MONTHS of planning. Screw that.

I'm wearing green, I'll pinch anyone who isn't, and damn the church anyway.

Besides, they're stealing TWO of my holidays again this weekend.

Maybe one of those ones WITHOUT the glitter...

Sadly, I will not be docsneezy as I have to also go to med school. You can refer me as dr. sneeze in about... 4 years.. . oof.

I heard it, and decided that the Vatican was on crack.

Yeah they've been changing things up left and right. The "new 7 deadly sins..." was a good'un too.

I DID get pinched by a dude Saturday for not wearing green. This is how our altercation went down:

Dude pinches me
Me:... what the hell dude?
Dude: (slurring) YOU'RE NOT WEARING GREEN!
Me: oh... clever. Wait... neither are you!!
Dude: well... you can pinch me...
Me:... no? ::walks away::

Maybe a masculine one with glitter... glitter always makes things better!

Can you get masculine glitter?

About the docsneezy thing... we should just start to get used to it... it's inevitable... why not start now? :)

Because if I start now, I'll be "that guy"... the med student that always wears a lab coat... that wears scrubs around the library but EVERYONE knows he doesn't have his md yet...

We call those guys chiropractors.. . no offense to any chiros out there.

I'll take my sweet time... 4 years + counting...

dude pinches me
Me: ...what the hell dude?
dude: (slurring) YOU'RE NOT WEARING GREEN!
Me: oh...clever. wait...neither are you!!!
dude: well...you can pinch me...
me: .....no? ::walks away::

LOL! Niiice... love it... "no?!"

Hee, Hee, you guys are funny. I'm feeling better now.

Okay, off topic. I usually do a crossword puzzle with my morning coffee, after dropping the kids off at the bus stop. I didn't get to it today and decided to take a glance. I'm sleepy and the brain isn't working at full speed today so I need some help. Keep in mind that I never look up the answers and I refuse to look on the internet for the answers too. So I'm asking my coffee buds.

Clue: Hindu priestly caste. Answer: _ ra_ _ _ n
Clue: Window on a corbel. Answer: U _ I _ l (urial?)
Clue: "Tristram Shandy" author. Answer: St _ _ _ e

I'm awaiting your answers. Remember, this is driving me nuts.

I heard it, and decided that the Vatican was on crack.

Like they're going to move parades and such in big cities like Chicago that take MONTHS of planning. Screw that.

I AGREE!. I will be a pinching maniac at work tonight!
Alty... I am right there with you on the green.
Sneezy, you are going to make it through for sure!
HChicky, enjoy your coffee, and git typing!!
I will do my cleaning, I haven't been home much, working my buns off, and when I am gone, nothing gets done here, so Here comes the clean up crew, Staover22, Start, and Starty... LOL
(I am going to ask little Maxy to help me, he is four and he normally refuses any WORK)
Have a great day all!

Brahman (or something to that effect... dated an indian girl once)

No idea

Sterne

cuz if I start now, I'll be "that guy"...the med student that always wears a lab coat...that wears scrubs around the library but EVERYONE knows he doesn't have his md yet...

Ahh... OK. I see... but come four years from now, you had better expect it from my coffeeshop! I'll demand it. :)

No idea on any of them, Alty... wow... and I thought I was literary... *sheesh*

No idea on any of them, Alty... wow... and I thought I was literary... *sheesh*

It's OK. I pick up where you leave off. It's a couples thing ;)

it's ok. i pick up where you leave off. it's a couples thing ;)

LOL! Free coffee for Sneezy! :D

Sneezy, thanks, Sterne, knew that, couldn't recall. Thanks.

Hey, when you are finally a Doctor will you change your username to Doc? I think that you should go through all the seven Dwarfs. You're already Sneezy, in 4 years you'll be Doc, I'm sure that you are Sleepy at times, and Dopey. Grumpy, isn't everyone at times, Happy, I hope so, and last but not least, Bashful (doesn't quite work, but it's the only one that doesn't)

Did I cover all seven? Today I'm Sleepy and Grumpy with spurts of Happy.

All you have to do is get in the general vicinity of my coffeeshop to claim said free coffee! :)

Alty:

Believe it or not, I rarely sleep... I've never really needed much sleep to function. With 3 - 5 hours (which is what I normally get), I'm perfectly fine. It's something that drove my parents to be on the brink of putting me up for adoption as an infant.

I am QUITE bashful.

Hc: is this deal only for today..

Sneezy - Nope coupon good until redeemed...

Alty - you sure its not "oriel" for the window thing in your crossword?

it's ok. i pick up where you leave off. it's a couples thing ;)


A couples thing, too cute. I guess I started something, or are you guys just leading me on?:rolleyes:

HChicky - I think it was the naked windows that finally sparked this.;)

Maybe I should start a singles site. Na, too much responsibility.

It could be, the U is from the word Hecuba clue: Wife of Paris. If Hecuba is wrong that Oriel could be right.

Wasn't the wife of Paris Helena? I'm confuddled...

I think hecuba was his mother...

Hecuba was paris' mother.

Oenone is his lover... at least his first one. That whore.

hecuba was paris' mother.

oenone is his lover.

Sweeeet... and makes the Oriel window work!

What a team...

I originally thought it was Helen, which doesn't fit, that's when I came up with Hecuba, although I have been known to be wrong. If it is Helena then the Window on a corbel starts with an E. Ahh, it's driving me nuts.

I just saw the page count on this thread... Do you all realize that we have 57 pages of coffee talk? And pretty much ever post in this thread is about or relating to coffee... wow...

I'm duly impressed...

You guys posted while I was posting. Oenone, love it. Oriel, great.

There's more, you guys interested?

Bring it on! :)

Sadly you two will have to go on without me.

Lunch break is over. Off to work. Bring on the rat brains!

sadly you two will have to go on without me.

lunch break is over. off to work. bring on the rat brains!

Alas...

Have fun with the rats! Watch out for those eyebrows... ;)

I'm going on a coffee run - I'll be back soon!

Okay, remember, my brain isn't working, so don't laugh if the answer is obvious to you, it's all blurry to me today.

Here goes;

Clue: Cooper's Bumppo. Answer: N _ t _ y (is it Natty? I don't recall)
Clue: Invisible emanations. Answer: _ you are _ _
Clue: Part of the Arctic ocean. Answer: K _ _ _ _ e _
Clue: relative of a flambeau. Answer: S t _ _ _
Clue: Med. School subj. answer: _ _ _ _ (anat?) this ones for you Sneezy.

Paris LEFT his wife (and I want to say Oenone is right, but the spelling looks wrong to me) for Helen of Troy, as part of the deal for choosing Aphrodite to give the golden apple to.

Wow. You are chatty today.

Bring on more crossword stuff. I LOVE doing the crossword.

Okay, remember, my brain isn't working, so don't laugh if the answer is obvious to you, it's all blurry to me today.

Clue: relative of a flambeau. answer: S t _ _ _
Clue: Med. school subj. answer: _ _ _ _ (anat?) this ones for you Sneezy.


Hey Synnen, these are the latest ones. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Oh, remember, all the letters that I provided are from other answers that I already wrote down, they may not be right. In other words, if you can think up a word that fits but not with the letters I posted then go for it, I might be wrong, it's been known to happen, often.

I'm pretty sure you're right about Natty.

Invisible eminations - "auras", possibly?

Med sch. subj. is generally anat. In crossword puzzles, but it's best to get a letter in there before you fill it.

Love auras, I was thinking along a different line.

The things going through Med. subj. are nasty and I don't have many letters for them either, but here they are (this would be easier if I could make a crossword and post it)

Clue: Hindu mystic writings. Answer: _ _ n _ _ _
Clue: Cleanliness. Answer: _ _ g _ _ _ _
Clue: Feudal tenants. Answer: _ _ _ _ _ ls
Clue: Tex and Thelma. Answer: R _ _ _ _ _ s

Remember, the letters may not be correct, the number of spaces are however.

Feudal tenants - Vassals

Got my coffee... mm... two free shots of espresso... got to love being a regular!

HC beat me to the one answer I knew there too :)

Vassals, Vielen Dank (lots of thanks)

Did you see the ones above those?

I'll leave you all to it, I've got to make some lunch for my sweetie, she's being such a good girl today, almost makes me want to have another one, almost.

Lol... yeah... I saw them... I'm going to have to think a little longer on the rest...

Sorry Synn! Beat you!

I thought hindu mystic writings would be sanskrit... but not enough spaces. Hmm

Med school class... COULD be anat but it could also be... a lot of others:

Phys (physiology)
Hist (histology)
Path (pathology)

Y'all have a great night! I'm off for an iced coffee and a night o' movies.

Hasta la vista!

Natty's been confirmed by many
I like auras
Kara sea (I believe... thank you discovery channel)
No idea
Anat, phys, etc.

Y'all have a great night! I'm off for an iced coffee and a night o' movies.

Hasta la vista!

ooh... watchu watching?

I want to watch a movie.. . I got a night of studying. =(

Probably Timeline...

Or, The One...

Or, Stargate...

Sorry - I'd say, come on down (up, rather), but by the time you got here, you'd have to turn around and head home. :)

Well, a flambeau is a torch. And I can't come up with anything in my brain that works with that ST in the beginning.

The St starting the word for relative of a flambeau comes from.

Risers (last letter starts the flambeau) clue: Staircase elements
Atkinson. Clue: Rowan a.k.a. Mr. Bean

Risers works with other things so I'm pretty sure it's right, so does Atkinson, but I'm open to suggestions.

How about Stick, for Relative of a flambeau?

Love Karasea, it works. Also, Anat works because of Vassals.

Is any of this making sense?

More?

I'm loving the e-crossword puzzle, Alty. What a great idea! Sadly, I can't help you with any more... I'm good with words, but have a mental block when it comes to crossword puzzles! Sudoku I can do. Crosswords leave me feeling dreadfully inadequate!

Hey J
What are you doing on at this time... working late?

Hey J
What are you doing on at this time.................working late?

Hey M! Nope. Was waiting for an email and am in my apartment community Business Center... got to love a clubhouse with a cappuccino machine! :D

I have access to a computer with internet, just not in my apt. Sadly, I have to share this with pimply teenagers (the same teenagers who created the need for a blocking service!), middleage YouTube surfers, and us Puritans that don't have connections in our apartments!

So far, I'm the only one up here, but that may change in a few minutes!

Type fast! :D

Hey HChicky, I didn't expect to talk to you again today, what a pleasant surprise. I love sudoku as well, but I find that the crosswords keep my brain from going to mush. After all, I'm a stay at home mom, the only mental stimulation I get is talking to a 9 and 5 year old, oh and my husband who can't spell and has trouble remembering my name (kidding).

Hey F4U, I'm following you around, scared?

Well J... we keep saying it's time to get your own connection :-)

Oh and Alty keeps following me around , but no Alty you don't scare me :-)

Awww Alty, you don't give yourself enough credit :) even in joking. I'm sure your husband would agree that you're unforgettable! Mush for brains is sometimes fun... its my weekend state! Lol...

Yup, here I am, until the pimply face rascal comes to claim the computer... either him or the airheaded bimbo...

Sorry - I think I need more coffee... sad... very sad... :D

Our coffee man is due in about 15 minutes , can't wait , still have the taste in my mouth from my monkee coffee :-)

Well J...............we keep saying it's time to get your own connection :-)

Oh and Alty keeps following me around , but no Alty you don't scare me :-)

I know, I know. It would cure me of my couch-potato-girl-ness... although, I'd just become internet-surfer-girl at home, too! Rah...

What is it inside me that rebels at that thought?? I would love to surf the internet in my pjs... but alas... not today... I will... one day. :)

Ewww... that was nasty... and I clicked that Apet (or whatever it was) with a nice big swig of coffee in my mouth. Rah...

Ewww.... that was nasty... and I clicked that Apet (or whatever it was) with a nice big swig of coffee in my mouth. Rah....

LMAO... sorry:D

Yeah... I bet you are... you knew that would happen! If you weren't so stinkin' far away I'd come over there and get you back for it! ;)

Promises promises ;)

Awww Alty, you don't give yourself enough credit :) even in joking. I'm sure your husband would agree that you're unforgettable!


You're such a sweetie. Hey, how are the plans for the coffee, coffee, coffee, barbecue coming along? I'm picking up dog poo everyday, the yard should be ready my June, July at the latest. Summer in Canada is actually pretty nice. You all coming here for a visit? How about you F4U, can you make it?

I'll supply the burgers, the rest can be pot luck. I'll buy some sudoku puzzles and we can watch my dogs beat up Sneezy's dog. Fun and entertainment for all.

Hey Synnen, if you want to borrow my kids when you come for the barbecue let me know, I'd love to go out with my hubby, we haven't gone out alone together in, my god, I can't remember how long it's been. That means it's to long. Sigh.

Promises promises ;)

LOL! Darlin, you're literally a world away. My night, your day. My Monday, your Tuesday. Unless I could get my transporter beam working, I'm kind of out of options... :)

Synn and I are working on that transporter beam though...

Aww man, Alty... I seriously would love to! A trip to Canada in the Summertime... yes, I could handle that...

Crud, my passport expires in April... darn it, have to get on that... now that we have to have passports to visit you!

I'm going to work on it! :)

If invited Alty I'll be there , heck its only about 24 hours flying to Canada from here , I'll look after the BBQ :-)

You are definitely invited, as for controlling the barbecue, you'll have to fight hubby over that one, it's a man thing. Me make fire, me kill dinner, me cook dinner, UG!

I have to renew my passport as well, unfortunately it isn't that easy for me. I live in Canada but I'm a German citizen, that means I have to go to the German consulate, the nearest one is 1 1/2 hour flight away and after that I get to wait for up to 6 months for the passport to appear. Thank goodness I only have to do it every 10 years.

Wow... that really does stink! I have to get myself to a Passport renewal dealy thingy... think I need to take a trip to D.C. lots of awesome museums AND the passport place. Smithsonians... here I come! :)

Well all, bimbo girl has come to claim the computer and since I've been on here for a while now, I must bid you adieu. Besides, her gum chewing is going to drive me insane if I don't leave the room... ever want to just say, "didn't your mother teach you MANNERS???"

Crud, nastiness is arising in HChicky... I'm headed to Barnes and Noble... I'll get a coffee and sweet HC will be back...

Y'all have fun without me... Alty, BE GOOD! ;) Hit the lights on the way out!

30 min drive to canada for me... canada got lame after I turned 21 however. Lol.

Ihate - You've obviously never been to my neck of the woods, besides, I make everything fun (pat on back) including Canada. ;)

Where were you going that it got lame. And might I mention, I don't remember being 21, 20 I remember 22 as well, 21 is a blur. See, Canada is FUN!

Type to you later HChicky, don't worry, I'll keep these lads in line while you're gone. (getting out my whip!)

WOW... is it really that hard to renew your passports over there , here you go to the local Post Office and 10 minutes later.. DONE!

It's easy in Canada if you're a citizen, but I have landed immigrant status, not citizenship. I still need to get a german passport in order to travel, I also have to have my landed immigrant papers. It's a big mess. You'd think that having lived in Canada for the last 34 years I'd be a citizen by now. Just can't see myself forking over $300.00 to take a test that 89% of Canadians can't even pass. No thanks, I'd rather spend that money on coffee.

I don't even HAVE a passport. Need to get one, though. Last time I left the country, though, it was a 2-hour drive up to Vancouver, BC. We lived in Seattle at the time.

I think we just had to tell them what we were doing there when we crossed the border. Took like 23 seconds.

Oh, and stick might work for the flambeau thing.

Thing is, steel keeps sticking in my head, too (as in, flint and steel)

Hey, feeling unloved. I know that HChicky is the young, hip, pretty, girl and I'm just the old, married, mom of two, but what the heck. As soon as she signed off you guys jumped ship. Does my breath stink? I feel so unloved. Going to cry in my pillow, boo hoo hoo.:(

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, might as well eat worms, big round juicy ones, great big jiggly ones, oh how they wiggle and squirm. Sigh.:p

Hey I'm still here Alty... veeerrrryyy busy at work that's all. And you are not OLD , and we all love you :-)

Aw, thanks, I needed that. Maybe I can talk hubby into letting you help with the barbecue. :)

Now that I know that at least one of my friends still loves me, oh, by the way, right back at you babe, I've got to make the rugrats some dinner, they're starting to eye my bunnies while licking their lips. Hey, step away from the bunnies!:eek:

LMAO... I've had cooked bunny , quite nice :-)

Oh, I see that *I* count for chopped liver.

Just because I'm at work and haven't had much time to check in doesn't mean I shouldn't count!

LMAO................I've had cooked bunny , quite nice :-)


Hey, the bunnies are not, I repeat, not for the barbecue. Mental note, keep F4U away from my bunny babies. Naughty, naughty.

Synnen - You are not chopped liver, not by a long shot. I've missed you today. I think that you and I should start a crossword puzzle thread, what do you think, to hard?

Really got to cook some dinner now. Type to you all later.

Alty :)

I'm back. I'm back.

... was sitting at the library... studying... then it hit me. I hadn't had dinner. It also hit me. I ran 3 miles today.

Much less to say... the headache + cold feeling + weakness was from hunger.

I got the hell out of the library and got me some food. I'm back for dinner. Then I'm out again. Is it coincidental that HC and I left at the same time?

I'll let you guys ponder about THAT one.

I'll let you guys ponder about THAT one.


Bom chicka wow wowww

HChicky, where are you, did you have dinner with Sneezy?

Bom chicka wow wowww, tee hee hee. My 9 year old always says that. Scary.

Hey guys, my son asked me a question about sex at dinner, he wanted to know how old people were before they started having sex, I really wanted to say 50.

I took the opportunity to talk about condoms, why people use them and that they prevent pregnancy and disease. I gave him the 9 year old version (men have seeds, women have eggs, the condom is like a balloon that goes over your penis to stop the seeds from getting to the egg) after I said this he said, very nonchalantly "I'm going to need some of those condom thingys." The soup came out of my nose, I started choking, is he trying to give me a heart attack? I asked him why he needs some, he said, "For when I'm a teenager." Honestly I'm moving to the woods, no one around for miles, no television, a padlock on the door and a chastity belt for my daughter. Yikes, I need aspirin.

Okay, really, I'm getting a complex. I come online and you all leave. Complex, honestly, going to need therapy.

Well alty. If you'd wait a little bit... jeez.

I'm at the library. Currently running on very little sleep, 3 cups of coffee and 2 energy drinks.

Oh, HC'll be back soon. We took separate cars ;)

Sneezy, I'm a woman, we are not patient people. Sorry girls, maybe I should speak for myself, don't get mad, I switched from coffee to beer, I know not what I say.:o

You made HC take her own car, what kind of date are you, honestly, I had such high hopes.;)

well you know... first date... I figured she'd feel better if she took her own car so she can split whenever she wanted to. I had her in my thoughts =D

also, I really hope HC doesn't come back tomorrow thinking, "...sneezy's def out of my 5"

does canada have "my 5?" (it's a t-mobile thing)

Okay, t-mobile + Alty = Not bloody likely.

We do have t-mobile here, it's just not on my top 5 list of things I need.

Hey Sneezy are you coming to the barbecue? What kind of dog do you have, if it's small then my dogs can chew on, I mean play with your dog. I'm shooting for June or July. Before you ask, My hubby has dibs on working the barbecue, don't make the poor guy relinquish the barbecue, he's already losing his hair, the barbecue would push him over the edge. Don't tell him I said that, I'll deny it, he'll believe me, I'm female and very flexible.:D

Haha. I'm down for the bbq.

I have a 5 lb long haired chihuahua. It looks like a mini-golden retriever. She's whiny. To be honest, she's a . Grr. Should have gotten that husky... but it was originally intended as a gift for my mom... til I brought her home and my mom told me she didn't like dogs that shed. Thanks mom.

Your hubby can take the bbq all he wants. Less work I do for my food, better off I am.

I just realized that I'm losing my hair... slowly. Granted, I have LOTS of hair, but every time I take a shower, I look down at all the hair I'm losing and I cry a little.

I personally like bald guys, Vin Diesel, yummy, wouldn't kick him out of bed for making crumbs.

I just said way too much on another site, the one about the number of sexual partners people have had. Honestly, when I have a beer my mouth just won't stay shut, apparently my fingers won't stop typing either. Oh well, didn't give an actual number, just said that MarriedGuy wouldn't consider me date material.

Hopefully this doesn't take anything away from my message to teens, I still thing that abstinence is best, I just didn't follow my own advice. Do as I say, not as I do.

Gosh Alty, stop typing already!

Do as I do.

Hey Alty I did see that... and the one about your little blue friend... lol :-)

Okay, refresh my old memory, little blue friend?:confused:

Sneezy, "do as I do" be more specific.:p

Got to put the rug rats to bed. Type at you all later.

Alty out, for now.

do as I do... in all aspects of life.

you can't go wrong. =D

Shouldn't I be saying that to you, after all, I am older than you. :)

I have no regrets in life, everything I've done has lead me to were I am now, and that's a good thing. Nope, no regrets.

Really?

That's awesome. I wish I can say that for myself... and seeing that you're older, that's more kudos to you.

I regret... going to the school I am going to... as well as choosing the major that I chose. I look forward to the future. 7 weeks and counting.

If you truly aren't happy then you still have time to make different choices. You only have one life to live, one chance, if you have a dream than go for it, no one else is going to do it for you. Good God do I ever sound old. Sit down son I'm going to give you some motherly advice.

I'm not saying I haven't made mistakes, there are things that I wish I could take back, but they've all lead me here, delete one thing and I'd be somewhere entirely different. I've made mistakes, but I've learned from them, thankfully none of the mistakes were deadly, I got lucky, not everyone can say that.

Ooh, serious talk. Funny time. One of my bunnies farted again. Stinky cheese bunny butt. Eww!

Very true... the butterfly effect I guess...

I don't have time to change schools... or my major. I have 7 weeks left.

I am extremely happy about going to med school... I've wanted to be a surgeon since I was 12. My major, on the other hand... grr.

I'll suck it up.

Ah Sneezy, you'll be fine. Like you said, only 7 weeks left and then you can start med school. I read somewhere that people compare you to Dr. House, I love that show, hope you aren't taking vicodin though, nasty drug to get into. :)

Well, I have once again opened mouth and inserted foot on another post (told you I was flexible) this time it was the Teen Sex post, I just may have undone everything I've been trying to do concerning teens and sex. I hope not, it's something I really want to help change, I feel very passionately about it. Oh well, to late now, hopefully I didn't do too much harm. Now I'm worried.

People often compare me to dr. house as I am sarcastic + dry... and make fun of everyone.

In addition to working in research, I also work for the medical examiner (morgue)... and the general consensus of me working with dead people is:

- I can see you doing that...
- yeah... out of my friends, if ONE person worked in the morgue... it'd be you

I see dead people?

Yikes, I have no desire to work in a morgue, but then again, I have no desire to be a surgeon either. When my Dad was sick I had to give him daily injections of Vitamin K, every time he saw me coming with the needle he winced. I'm not cut out for that kind of work.

I'm a bit squeamish, not when it comes to my kids, but other people yup. I can handle just about anything when it comes to my own body, except with regards to my eyes, just don't touch my eyes and we'll be fine. Yuck.

Sneezy sweetie, I'm going to hit the sack, I've got a long day tomorrow and it's going to start early. I need at least 7 hours and a full pot of coffee in order to function, another reason not to be a doctor.

Good night to you, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite. Type at you tomorrow.

Alty over and out.

I hope this sweet pic works! ;)

... that's me at 5am. Cept my slippers are HOMER SIMPSON'S.

...that's me at 5am. cept my slippers are HOMER SIMPSON'S.

I don't even bother with the slippers, I got my wooly socks:D
Night!

GM All, Had a few coffees in me and its shaping up to be a wonderful day!

And Start... What an awesome picture,, just what the coffee bunch needed,, a mascot.

Love the mascot, that's me in the morning. I also forgo the slippers, and socks, bare feet for me, the cold floor is the only thing that wakes me up.

Good morning coffee buds, another beautiful morning. Yawn.

Not so beautiful... sadly.

Slept at 430am.

Woke up at 7am.

Weather's muggy.

Woke up with a backache (god I must be getting old)

My dog threw up all over her bed. This means my room smells like vomit.

Nothing a cup o joe can't fix I guess.

I always love the sound of the dog puking in the middle of the night, that's when I turn to my husband and say "remind me to put on my slippers tomorrow morning."

I'm sorry that your day isn't bright and shiny Sneezy. I should have stayed up talking to you last night, my 13 year old dog was barking at nothing until 3am, that's when I finally fell asleep, up at 6:45am, I'm tired, exhausted, the dog is napping. I really want to go bark in his ear right now, let's see how he likes it.

Were's our HChicky this fine morning, not back from Sneezy's house yet?

She was still sleeping... made her breakfast + left. Hope she gets the flowers.

HC: in all seriousness... I'm not a creep.

LOLOL!! Wow...

Wow...

F4U, this is twice I'm speechless... wow...

You all have such deep talks when I'm gone...

Speaking of me being "gone"... Yes, Sneezy, I did get the flowers, you're so sweet. And that breakfast? Wow... ;)

(yikes... I need more coffee... wow... )

Oh, Alty, I was a occupational therepy - car accident last year left me with a lot of pain in my wrist... long story... lol... that is after the beautiful breakfast and sunny flowers... ;) )

Yay, my match making worked. Big pats on the back for Alty. Proud look on my face.

I need some advice my friends. I was up all night thinking about something, something in my past that I've only shared with two people in my entire life. I think I'm finally ready to talk about it. I've written a post on Microsoft, the spell check is done, all I have to do is post it. Wow, I'm crying just thinking about it. I know that I need to do this, but I'm scared. I need some support. Tell me what to do.

Oh Alty, if you need advice, we're here. If you post it, I'll comment on it. If you PM it, I'll answer.

I'm here for you...

Ditto for me.

Thanks you two. I just don't know what everyone's reaction is going to be. I'm scared that you all won't be able to get past what I tell you and that you will not be able to put it aside.

I will post it, I need to, I hope that you will all still be here after reading my post.

Can't type, to many tears.

Alty.

Dear, Darling Alty... the one thing I've learned through life is that the past is just that, past. Our past doesn't define us, it has made us who we are... the strength of character, height of resolve, dedication to verity all come from the circumstances and heartaches that we have been through. It doesn't matter what you've been or done, we know you as you. A true, caring, thoughtful, sweet, amazing woman with a heart full of compassion and truth.

And nothing, absolutely nothing will change that. You will always be that person in our eyes. If nothing else, whatever you post from your past, it will make us respect you more from what you've come through.

My dear, sweet Alty, we will still be here after you click Post.

Yay, my match making worked. Big pats on the back for Alty. Proud look on my face.

Sweet Alty, we are here to help, I think you should post it. We won't judge and it may help a whole lot to just get it off your chest. I wish for you peace, and if you can get it by posting what you wrote, then so be it! :) ;)
Morning everyone... coffee, YES!

I should have known that you would all stand behind me. The fact is, I finally found the strength to tell my story, largely because of all of you. It's time that I let it out, I've kept it in for far to long. After all this is a help desk, I just find it really hard to ask for help, I'm much better at voicing my opinion than asking for an opinion.

Thank you all. I posted it, so there's no turning back now. I need a tylenol, all this crying has given me a headache.

You, my dear sweet Alty, are an inspiration. I've written you a post/letter, but know this...

ANYTIME you need someone, I'm here. My arms are open, my couch is comfy, and my coffeepot stands ready. I'm serious. I'm here.

Coffee's on the house today... as much as you can drink. I'll even throw in some of those blueberry scone-y thingies with the little sugar granules on top. :)

OOo... scone...

Yup, scones are fresh out of the oven and go wonderfully with my blend of the day :)

... how'd you have time to make scones?

... didn't you JUST leave my place?

... did you LOCK my doors?!

What is the blend of the day? I'm having 7 eleven brand coffee, it's better than you think. Scones, Mmmm, I'd prefer donuts though.

By the way, sorry for putting a damper on the coffee hour. I can't begin to put into words the gratitude I feel for all your kind words.

HChicky, that offer goes both ways. My home is always open dear sweet friend. Thanks, I don't know what else to say, just, thanks.

Back to the coffee. I'm on my 3rd cup and counting. I think it's a two pot kind of day.

Sneezy, sweet, yes, the door is locked. The dog did something funny in the kitchen, though...

I'm Caffeine Woman, don't you remember? Super Efficient. Super Strength. Super Charm (but you witnessed that... ;) ). Super Coffee Maker. Super Baker.

I'm gooooooood.

Pshaww... You didn't dampen coffee hour... You necessitated the need for an all day party at the coffeeshop! I needed a day off anyway... crazy customers. Sheesh. I much prefer kicking my heels up, supplying you with coffee, and concocting yummy concoctions! :D

Blend of the day is Blueberry Patch... goes amazingly well with the Blueberry Scones...

Just out of curiosity, how many readers actually read HC's "pshaww" and tried to make that sound out loud?

I know I did.

just out of curiosity, how many readers actually read HC's "pshaww" and tried to make that sound out loud?

I know I did.

LOL! You really did? Niiiiiice...

OK. Well... my boss just peeked into my office.

Boss: what're you doing here?
Me: nothing. There's nothing to do.
Boss: your assay done?
Me: yep.
Boss: tissue stained?
Me: yep.
Boss: data quantified?
Me: yep.

Boss thinks for a second...

Boss: you can help set up the maternal room...
Me: already did it yesterday.
Boss: you can help change the...
Me: did it this morning.
Boss: you want to clean the..
Me: did it last night.
Boss: you want... to... have the day off?

I'm going to sbucks to study for midterms. You guys have a wonderful day.

HC: have a good'un. I'll see you later ;)

Alty: you're wonderful. Get one of your bunnies to give you a hug for me. It's about the same... I'm not as furry... but... yeah.

To everyone else: keep buzzin.

Take care Sneezy... ;) Enjoy the Starbucks! Bring me some, would you?

Yup, me too. My version of the pshaww came out kind of funny though, Canadian accent. Hee, hee.

Did you say blueberry? I love blueberries. My parents and I went camping every weekend from the time I was 4 until I was in my late teens. The place we went to had tons of blueberries. We'd pick them every year. We all got an empty ice cream bucket and were sent off to fill it. Somehow mine never got full, my blueberry picking went something like this. One for the bucket, 10 for Alty, one for the bucket, 20 for Alty, mom, I don't feel so good. My mom and dad always brought in allot, they had more self restraint than I did.

LOL! Oh yeah... I remember blueberry picking at my grandparents place! Mmm... Maine blueberries... divine...

My "picking" was less pretentious. I went into the patch KNOWING full well that I wasn't bringing any home! That was Mom's job. :) I was there to eat!

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters - Fair Trade, Organic & Signature Coffees & Gifts (http://www.greenmountaincoffee.com) is where I get my blueberry coffee... Its really yummy. Not sure if Synn's place has blueberry, but I'd try theirs as well! :)

Have a good one Sneezy, I'll hug the bunnies later, they're all a bit gassy today. Stinky bunny butts for Alty again.

Ewww... stinky bunny butts... lol... :D

I can't imagine stinky bunnies!
HChicky, blueberry sounds so yummy...
Sneezy you lucky lucky guy! Go git yer coffee and have a nice afternoon!
Hi KBC, nice to see you sweet!

Where did all those P&B roommates go to??

Capy,rpg,you know? Don't they like coffee?:(

All are welcome in the coffeshoppe o' love... :D

What does P&B mean? I've wondered...

Where did all those P&B roommates go to???

Capy,rpg,you know?? Don't they like coffee?:(

Whatcha talking about... we are coffee fiens, lol... How are you Ken!?




All are welcome in the coffeshoppe o' luv... :D

What does P&B mean?? I've wondered...

Start's fave... Pink and black, lol

Oh, not the P & B question. I had an entirely degrading conversation about the meaning of P & B, I never got an answer. I thought it meant Pals and Buds, but apparently I am so wrong, I gave up, I just assumed that I wasn't meant to know. KBC can you enlighten us?

Oh, I invited Stringer to join us here yesterday, everyone be nice, we don't want to scare him off.

Coffee cups raised, toast to my coffee pals, one and all.

Ooo... Stringer? Yesss... he's definitely welcome! :)

Pink and Black... seriously? Ok...

How about L&S... Light and Sweet - cream and sugar... :D

Pals and buds... that would be good too... we all became quite close to each other in there.

Alten... Stringer doesn't scare as easy as he appears to, hehehe ;)

Yummmm, HC... I love mine L&S... although that sounds a bit dirty, huh? LMAO

Well, I like mine L&S (light and sweet), B&B (bold and black), aaaand H&C (hot and creamy)!

Coffee, people... sheesh. :D

Yup, coffee people are a breed of their own. I personally love coffee people, they're really good with scones. Okay, my sanity has definitely left the building, am I making any sense, or am I only making sense to me?

Pink and Black, whoosa whatsa? I'm still in the dark.

Ahhh Alty... you've stepped into the realm of wayyyy too much caffeine... welcome to my world!! :D

Good to see some AM humor :):):)

P&B was quite the breakneck post for a few weeks(ok maybe a month or so... )

The music rewards and BS were quite entertaining for even the ones like me who hardly posted, it was lightweight humor with a little vixenation (new word) mixed in... lol

Cool. :)

My coffeeshop is the same, only it hasn't let up since its inception... we're all too nutty over coffee and gossip... and matchmaking... depending upon who you are... ;)

Hasn't even been a month and we're already at 682 posts! Yikes!

I love my coffeeshop buds.

Yep... you made a good one HC! Start thinking now of the "corporation" of the shop... 1500 posts... it's closed... you have to start a new "business", lol

Crud... OK... I will... Cause I'm here to stay!

We have 69 pages because of the caffeine. My little fingers are flying over the keyboard. Thank goodness for spell check.

We love you too HChicky, my sweet, sweet friend. Really, I'm having that barbecue. Not kidding, not joking. You all get your passports and book off some time in July. We're going to have a good time. Hubby gets to barbecue. I talked to him about it last night. He said "Ug, man barbeque, no touch other man barbeque, man hit other man on head with club if touch barbeque, me kill meat, me cook meat. Ug!" Ya, something like that. Men!

Rock on dear!

All right, Alty. Count me in. :) I love a good BBQ!

I'll bring the coffee!

I will bring the PINK thingy...

I'll bring the meat. Hamburgers and hot dogs okay with everyone?

The kids can serve and keep the dogs in line, especially Sneezy's dog, I hear she's a little stinker (just kidding).

Who wants to bring the side dishes and dessert?

I am all for dessert!! AND Pasta salad... mmmmmmm

Boy, I'm hungry! Pasta salad? I LOVE pasta salad! MM... hamburgers and hot dogs... yum.

Sneezy's dog... crazy thing... ;)

There we go... my next thread will be a Cafe' :D

Great, now I'm hungry. Going to ask hubby to pick up the princess and maybe stop at McDonalds on the way home. It's a big mac kind of day. Oooh, and a strawberry milkshake. My tummies growling.

Mmm... crud, Alty, I'll get you back for that! I've lost 45 pounds in the last several months and haven't had a big mac since I started...

Crud.

Cruddy

Cruddy numbchucks.

Rah...

Oh well... Golden Arches, here I come! :D

I agree... for the past 3 months, I've been on a health binge. Running, lifting weights, and eating things that sometimes I feel like my dog would frown upon.

I've lost 18 lbs. don't bring up mickey's. Don't.

Mmm... fries... biiiiig mac... mmmm... you know you want it... ;)

Hey all I've decided to post a picture of my rugrats. My daughter is a mini-me, but much cuter. I'm biased though, to me they are the cutest kids in the world, my main reason for getting up every morning.

7023

Oh Alty!! They're gorgeous!! Such cuties!

I've thought of adding art to the walls of my shoppe... may post my flickr address... we'll see.

They are definitely adorable!

Thanks, I think so, but like I said, I'm biased.

Okay, anyone want pictures of the dogs?

Yes, please! :)

All right... Alty, you convinced me.

Art for the coffeeshop walls :)

Flickr: Photos from chinabelle24 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/chinabella/)

Awww, Alty... how sweet, I will post some pics later they are all on the other puter... HUGS sweet heart!
HC, you working today? LOL

Actually, I am! I wrote and submitted the text for a new global ad on Rosetta Stone Version 3, have written three paragraphs in my chapter on WWI, and am now researching the Causes of World War I! :)

I'm a great multi tasker - especially when given massive amounts of coffee :D

Okay here are two of my fur babies. No jokes about their weight, they know that they're fluffy.

7024

7026

Wow, those pictures turned out really big.

Top picture is Indy, my 13 year old
Bottom picture is Jasper, my 7 year old.

I'll be back later guys. Got a few errands to run.

Cheerio, Alty! :) Take care - cute puppies! :)

Actually, I am! I wrote and submitted the text for a new global ad on Rosetta Stone Version 3, have written three paragraphs in my chapter on WWI, and am now researching the Causes of World War I! :)

Yes, yes you are... ;)
I loved those pictures the first time you posted them, and I enjoy seeing them again.
Alty Ilove the fluffy dogs. Thanks for sharing.:)

Oh it figures it's pictures day when I'm at work and have no access to any pictures :)

Alt--courageous of you to post that. Haven't had a chance to respond--I Promise I will when I can, though.

We're short handed, the only other person in my department is sick and going home early... and I'm just tired.

Coffee isn't even helping, today.

Stupid transporter beam isn't working either... junk... I'd beam over chocolate covered espresso beans... they ALWAYS work! :)

Synn, can you listen to any music or get yer groove on in yer seat?:)

YouTube - Blake Lewis, Doug E Fresh, Barry B. - American Idol Beatbox (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Qg6QsJaUYZM)

LMAO LOVE IT!!

Wow... :) lol!

Alty - my Quote for the day is for you :)

Nope. No speakers at my desk.

But I work at a college that focuses on Radio Broadcasting--there's always the school radio station playing, and it's usually pretty good stuff.

Nice Synnen.
At least you have something good to listen too, you always seem to take up others slack. I know the other worker is sick, but, dang, this always happens to you.
I am going to do some research on becoming an expert beatboxer and breakdancer... see you guys later! LMAO... Don't worry I will stretch first, I got the back spin and the caterpillar down...

Hee, Hee. I'm getting a mental image of Starty breakdancing. Tee, hee, hee. Sorry Starty, didn't mean to chuckle.

HChicky - Great pictures, you are a wonderful photographer.

I'd post a picture of me, but I don't have anything recent, in fact, the last picture I have of me was a picture of my belly when I was pregnant with my daughter. There's not enough money in the world to get me to post that picture, I'm still shocked that I let hubby take that picture.

I'm usually the one taking the pictures, my dad had the same problem, he was hardly in any photos because he was always taking the pic.

Is it wrong that I ate chicken nuggets in front of my cockatiel? She gave me a weird look. It's not like I offered her some, but still, bad etiquette?

LOL! Oh, and darn you, Alty... I had a Number One for lunch! Big Mac, fries, and a hazelnut iced coffee! Rah... I'll get you back one day...

One day when you're least expecting it, I'll say "blueberry muffin" or "Tolberone" and you'll be gone! :D

Hey, not fair, toblerone, blueberry muffin, I didn't have dessert, now I'm craving chocolate or muffins. Dang it HChicky, you have gotten your revenge.

My hubby bought me a marzipan Ritter sport last night. Told you, he's a sweetie.

Aww... that is sweet!

I'm SO easy... the way to my heart is coffee, chocolate (Tolberone or Godiva, none of that Hershey's stuff! ;) ), and literature. That's easy enough, isn't it?

(Throw in a good, healthy respect for Star Trek and Star Wars and I'm so easy to understand! :D )

Hey Sneezy, are you writing this down. Chocolate, coffee, literature. Write it down, you'll forget.

Oh, don't forget Star Trek and Star Wars. Really, write it down!

LOL! You're too funny... :)

I know someone who makes a really REALLY good Kahlua cheesecake...

I have my moments, or so I've been told. Tee Hee.:p

Going to go spend some time with hubby and princess. Hubby's working nights this week so I won't see him tonight.

I'll type at you all later.

Oh, once again, thanks for all the support today, and for making me laugh, I really appreciate it.

Alty aka Andrea:)

I know someone who makes a really REALLY good Kahlua cheesecake....

I heard about said cheesecake... don't think it will mail well though...

I asked said cheesecake maker to bring me coffee today... alas... had I been in the DFW area it would have been "en route ASAP" but alas... Nashville -> DFW isn't a tiny commute ;)

This guy doesn't even breath, at least Idon't think... LOL
Ok, I have been doing my research, but I still am really bad at this whole thing, it has been fun, the kids are getting jiggy with it that's for sure!

Grrrr... I've gotten too many reddies today! I didn't think my advice was THAT bad!

See, HC? You just HAVE to get that transporter beam working!

Awww... Synn... I'm sorry!

See, now I have two reasons to get that transporter working. Bailey's Cheesecake (yes, BAILEY'S... soooo much better than Kahlua) and one of my girls in reddie-distress.

Where, oh where are the dilithium crystals? ;)

Ah HC... back among the pimply teenagers?? Type qiuck before they come back :-)

Synn, I just looked over that big ole post... and you are not giving bad advice, just others are too ignorant to see it. Sheesh

Hi M! Yeah, back fighting for domination of the computer...

And resisting the dumbing down of my IQ... I'm supposed to be emulating the hampster... ellyptical machines are not my favorite things in the world. I mean really, do I really want to run and run and run and not go anywhere? Or would I rather sit down and watch a movie with Bailey's cheesecake??

Rah...

Hi all, I'm back.

Cheesecake, crystals, pimply teenagers, reddies. Wow, you all have been busy.

Well my puter (as start calls it :) is all mine thank god , no pimply teenagers here :-)

On my 2nd cup for the day and just started work. Another day of appeasing silly people , no wonder I come here all day for relief.

I thought we were silly people. Are you appeasing us?

NO... you are funny people :-)

You just like to flirt and be flirted with, admit it, M!! ;)

No, you're much more than that... you're a Sweetheart with a capital S, we all know it.

Teeny-bopper is here... shall I succumb to her gum-chewing impatience?

NEVER! I was here first, Barbie!

Just hope Barbie isn't reading over your shoulder. Just start slurping your coffee, that might get her to leave.

Funny people, F4U, you are a cuddly bunny, really you are.

All right, all right Plastic Barbie doll, you win... for now...

I shall return...

I'll be back...

Me a flirt? a cuddly bunny?. see you guys are funny :-)

Alty I'm just reading through your post , man you are as the others say A HERO!!

Yes, all of the above! LOL
And yes you are all funny:)

Alright, alright Plastic Barbie doll, you win.... for now....

I shall return....

I'll be back...

LMAO... sock it to her J.

She may have won the battle , but not the War!

Me a flirt?? , a cuddly bunny??....................see you guys are funny :-)

Alty I'm just reading through your post , man you are as the others say A HERO!!!!


There's that word again. Hero, no. Totally messed up, yep. Healing a bit every minute, okay. Glad to get it off my chest, yes. Still scared, you bet. Forever scarred, unfortunately.

Thanks for saying it F4U, that's why you're a cuddle bunny.

HC - Fight the good fight girl, don't let barbie girl win.

Alty, I really think you need to know how hard it is to get through things like this and you also need to know that stories like yours and others can be very good. I have a story, you have one, everyone has a story. When people can tell them and others learn from them, well, that is my point, you know? :) I think it is great! It takes a lot of courage:)

Thanks Starty. I thought I could handle it, I'm not doing so good with that. I've never been big on opening up, at least not everything. I hope that someone else finds courage from what I posted, but my intentions were not as noble as that, I had to get rid of this, I had to let it out. If it does help someone else then that's wonderful, if they see themselves in me, I don't know if that's wonderful, the thought that someone else can feel this way is unbearable, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, yet I know I'm not the only one, and I'm one of the lucky ones as well. Just feeling scared today, shaky and weepy. Don't worry though, with all of you behind me I will be okay. I can still laugh, and smile and play the accordion (is that a good thing?) I'll get there, it will just take some time is all.

:)
Alty, I found courage from your post today.
OMGosh... we got to stop this here... no mention of coffee and we are doomed... I got mine, you got yours??

No, I switched to Ginger ale, it's good for what ale's you (hee, hee). It's got caffeine in it, does that count?

It doesn't count as coffee, BUT it counts!:)
See you later... :)

Bye for now sweet Starty, keep the others in line when they get back, we moms got to stick together and keep these younguns on the straight path. Get help from Synnen if you need it, she knows how to whip them into shape. :)

DUCT TAPE... it comes in their fave colors too:) Bwaahahahahahahahahaha!!

Duct tape LOL
I once heard this joke about... no I better not go there :-)

You guys just have to have a look at this... its hilarious , from Bulgarian Idol / Ken Lee
