Wow I'm in a bad mood... Like I was thinking about old times and I remember waking up every Saturday morning when I was like 7 and watching this show called Digimon. Then I rememered them making the Digimon Movie and it was like.. The greatest movie ever.. And I was thinking.. Wait... Didn't they make a sequel? So I go onto Wikipedia and I look it up and Alas they did. So I watched it on YouTube and it was gay.. a 30 minute movie. The pathetic part was that they portrayed the antagonist this time like a wimp.. forreal.. Stupid Hollywood -_-

Uurggghhh, OK... I left here and went to my profile, clicked on a thread to try, but it won't let me highlight copy?? I tried it twice, and actually had 2 different things come up. One said copy to background, and one just said copy. "copy wouldn't work" copy to background did but I couldn't get anything to work after that.

Ok, can I just get out my scissors and glue please? LOL

Ok Sneeze, I'll ask her... but she might be grumpy if she has to go back to the store! How 'bout a Manatee... she can probably run out to the canal and coax one out! :D Might be able to get you a Gator too... she is always finding them on her lawn! EEEEEKKKKK!

Hi all, sad, I was waiting for all of you earlier, as soon as I leave you all show up. Does my breath smell, ew, actually, yikes. Mouthwash please.

Okay, how is everyone? M, I missed you, Sneezy, Westy, Starby and even Guy (although I think he left) wow, are you all going to leave now that I'm here? :(

Nope. Still here... sitting at the library. I have written 3 pages in the past 8 hours.. . yep.

Hey Alty

I'm still here , just sitting in my corner :-)

Alty
Apr 13, 2008, 07:46 PM
Hey Sneezy, M.

I had a wonderful day. I spent time with the kids ,outside, playing. They got dirty, I got dirty, we got Daddy dirty, fun was had by all. I've had a beer though so watch out! ;)

friend4u178
Apr 13, 2008, 07:47 PM
Not fair , why you always having beer while I work

Alty
Apr 13, 2008, 07:49 PM
Because you're always working while I party. ;)

It's 9pm here, time for a BUD!

ISneezeFunny
Apr 13, 2008, 07:50 PM
It's 11pm here.. . no beer for me though.

friend4u178
Apr 13, 2008, 07:53 PM
Yeah true , 1pm Monday afternoon here.

Might pass on the Bud though... American Beer just doesn't cut it compared to Aussie beer I'm afraid. I think the Alcohol contact is a bit lower.

starbuck8
Apr 13, 2008, 08:09 PM
Yeah true , 1pm Monday afternoon here.

Might pass on the Bud though..........American Beer just doesn't cut it compared to Aussie beer I'm afraid. I think the Alchohol contact is a bit lower.

Friend I think you might have had a few nips at lunch time... What is "Alchohol Contact"... LOL. Sorry, Friend... I'm having a beer too and that made me giggle. I believe I have had Alcohol contact a few times though, and it wasn't pretty... LMAO!

Canadian Bud has more alcohol content than the American variety. In fact most of our beer have more. The one I'm drinking now is 6.1 *hic*

Hi Alty, sounds like you had a fun day!

Sneezy,. mommy said she has no room in the van for the gator! Soooorrryyy! Hehe!

ISneezeFunny
Apr 13, 2008, 08:11 PM
Drat. I was hoping to get a new playmate for Lily.

So... I'm sitting at the library... people watching. I get to put in my offer for the sports bar this week. I'm scared pantsless. Any entrepreneurs with words of encouragement..

friend4u178
Apr 13, 2008, 08:13 PM
Alcohol contact , LOL yep I think I better not drink at lunch anymore :-) But yeah I was meaning content , I remember when I was in the USA last I drank Bud and I couldn't get drunk , it was almost like Low alcohol beer is here.

starbuck8
Apr 13, 2008, 08:13 PM
Yes... one word of advice! You really have to keep those pants on dude! LOL!

I heard what happened before I arrived at the party lastnite! ;)

ISneezeFunny
Apr 13, 2008, 08:15 PM
Have you guys tried a beer called O'douls? It's non-alcoholic beer... well, it's advertised as such but I believe it has about 0.5% alcohol content.

... I don't understand...

starbuck8
Apr 13, 2008, 08:15 PM
The last comment was for Sneezy... but you too friend... everyone keep their pants on, LMAO!!

Yep, O'Douls tastes like skunky beer!

Apr 13, 2008, 08:21 PM
I drink a similar one sometimes when I just don't want to get tipsy, but I still feel like a beer... I know it's kind of pointless, but I like the taste of beer. Especially beer slushies!

Beer cubes in your OJ?

starbuck8
Apr 13, 2008, 08:30 PM
No no... just beer that is half frozen! Sooo good on a really hot day! It usually requires a saucer underneath to catch the overflow, but they're yummy. Maybe it's just a Canadian thing, I don't know!. hmmm

Alty
Apr 13, 2008, 08:37 PM
Okay, what the heck happened. I lost AMHD for a while, obviously you guys didn't. What did I do. I even googled it and they said it wasn't there. I was so sad, I thought I'd lost all of you forever. ;)

starbuck8
Apr 13, 2008, 08:43 PM
Ohhhh noooo! That has happened to me before too! I don't know how that happens. We won't lose you Alty! We'll send out all of the dogs to come and hunt for you! :D

Did it kick you off again Alty? What happened girl, where did you go?

All this talk about Beer, I would prefer an ice cold Canadian beer.
So Can I have a Canadian please?
Okay sitting here chilling.

My little buddy went to bed later tonight too. Wanted his papa to put him to bed I guess. Once I went in told him a story out like a light.

Hey Joe, you've met almost everyone.

I think Sneezy is gone for the night, HC will be back tomorrow (the poor girl doesn't have internet access at home), you know Startover (aka Starty), Synnen and sometime J9 show up, Guy, Westy, Wondergirl and you already know Starby and M (aka F4U). Did I miss anyone? I sure hope not.

Well it is good to meet everyone that I have not met before and yes there are many I already do know.

F4U Thanks for the Aussie hello.

I guess I can call you Starby?? Starbuck8??

All right goodnight everyone, have to go to work in about 4 hours. Take care.

Wondergirl, oh. We have met. (;

Alty
Apr 13, 2008, 09:16 PM
Hey, I went back and edited, you read fast M. Wondergirl is in their now, I was hoping to edit before anyone noticed. Dang, now she'll know I forgot her. I feel bad. Did I miss anyone else? Gosh, I really have to keep a list handy. Another 100 lashes for Alty. :(

Wondergirl, you know I love you right? :)

friend4u178
Apr 13, 2008, 09:18 PM

Alty
Apr 13, 2008, 09:21 PM
But my post is still there, how do I delete that? :)

I'm really not worried, I know Wondergirl will forgive me, I hope she does, she will right? ;)

Apr 13, 2008, 09:21 PM
G'nite Joe... yes Starby to you too! Or the girl version of your name, hehe! No one knows my real name 'cept Alty... well I guess they do now!

That darn Kevin scared the whole neighborhood Friend! He just bounces over fences and everything!

If only I'd learned the delete, delete, edit, edit thing along time ago. Could have saved myself allot of lashes. Yikes. :)

Eek, oh no. Up poo creek without a paddle. I did forget them too. Oh shight.

Joe, let me also introduce you to (see above) and probably others I forgot. You are all in my heart, just not in my little brain. Memory loss is a terrible thing. Are any of you buying it? I hope so. Bad Alty.

Apr 13, 2008, 09:32 PM
I'm still waiting for Skippy! Kevin is complaining about overtime pay for dance parties!

Don't worry Alty, Friend just taught me how to use scissors and glue things today! We had fun, but I finally passed the test! Tomorrow is picture day! Yeay! LOL

Alty
Apr 13, 2008, 09:36 PM
I told you twice, but I guess the info wasn't good. I'm glad M is teaching you, he's got a step by step plan. I'm a terrible teacher. I can do it myself but I can't teach it. Funny that I always had to train new employees, it was frustrating for them and hell for me. I just don't know how to explain things to people.

Sorry if my way confused you Starby. M's got it under control.

Hi Starby mwwwaaaaaa!

Alty
Apr 13, 2008, 09:42 PM
Yup, the old mind is going. I can't believe I missed so many people. Really, I'm starting a list. I hope everyone I left out knows it wasn't intentional. This is your brain, this is my brain, your brain works, mine, not so much. Sorry. ;)

Hey Sneezy, I know you're looking for cocaine addled brains, but how about a brain that just can't retain info anymore, really, it's getting bad.

Hey, where am I, who, what? Hi nice to meet you all, I'm Alty. ;)

starbuck8
Apr 13, 2008, 09:51 PM
I have to learn how to do that! Alty, the girl that rescued the preggie pup can't figure out how to post the pics. We all want to see the fur babes! :)

Alty
Apr 13, 2008, 09:51 PM
I can attach pictures, that's not a problem. I want to know the secrets, all the dirty little secrets. Like the one you just told me, is that information easy to find, or do you know somebody? ;)

I have to go guys. I'm falling asleep at my computer. I still have to feed the bunnies. Yell at my son again, he's still awake, and get the coffee machine ready for tomorrow. HChicky sure will be surprised tomorrow, she' going to have some reading to do.

Take care all. M, don't be a stranger, I love talking to you. Starby, get some sleep tonight. Sneezy, you never said goodbye, Starty, night night, and Joe, you too. For everyone else, see you later gators.

Good night.

You shouldn't have to Log out and then back in all the time . I would suggest you just hit the "My profile" button at the top of the page and it should take you to all the newest posts that you have subscribed to and that have had posts in them since you last went there.

Give it go and see how you go.

You sure have!

I had a great weekend... and I'm paying for it today... lol... I am completely, positively sunburned... my poor face! I had NO idea I move my forehead so much when I talk! OUCH!

:D but it was worth it...

starbuck8
Apr 14, 2008, 05:49 AM
Ouch, that's got to hurt! Been there done that many times, and you sure pay for it for a few days. I wish it would hurry and get warmer here, although it was beautiful outside yesterday. I should be careful what I wish for though. When summer comes, we complain as much about the heat as we do the snow! ;)

The city I live in is quite often called the city with the highest temps in Canada, so it gets pretty brutal sometimes, and it's a dry heat.

HistorianChick
Apr 14, 2008, 05:52 AM
I love the sun... this was the first weekend that the temps were actually pleasant. The sunburn is from the sun AND wind, though... it was brutal Saturday.

Its back to 38 degrees this morning... crazy!

Exactly, I wouldn't doubt it if we got another big dump of snow again too. Just crazy hey? How has it been around there for tornado's lately?

My parents are leaving for home from Fla on Thurs, and my mom has been worried about the tornado's. They will be passing through Chatanooga and Nashville. Not quite sure which way they are going to take after that. They change their route sometimes, depending on the weather. My mom says there's a lot of flooding in some of the places they have to pass through also.

HistorianChick

We had tornado watches quite a bit last week, but so far, none have been reported for this week. My grandparents are going to be leaving FL soon - I know the feeling... :)

Oh, this attachment? Me this morning...

starbuck8
Apr 14, 2008, 06:24 AM
I'm starting to really worry about them driving all that way in the last few yrs. It's a 5 day drive for them, and this yr they are driving 2 separate vehicles, and my Dad is going to be towing an 18 ft boat. They are just getting too old for that. Especially when they need to go through the big cities and on the freeways.

I saw that Doggie party... Zazzy would have loved it. He thinks dogs are just big cats... or that he is just a small dog... he's weird.

starbuck8
Apr 14, 2008, 06:35 AM
LOL. Yeah Nik is not quite sure what she is sometimes either. She gets along with anything that moves! You should see her with my neighbors new kitten. It is so funny! The kitty is only about 10" long and Niki is just a big lug weighing in at about 40 lbs. They chase each other around, and then Nik (gently) pins her to the ground and they swat at each other... soooo cute to watch.

And you should see Nik when I get bored and dress her up... she loves it! She gets this big grin on her face that just looks so funny! :D

I sure can't wait until my Dad gets home so he can come and do some housecleaning in my computer. It's getting ridiculously slow, and it's not even giving me notifications of new emails anymore. If I don't open my inbox it tells me I have 0 new.

It's even taking me about 5 minutes to read something you've written back to me, uurrgghh!

Apr 14, 2008, 07:19 AM
Well now it's pouring rain... what the heck? I guess I blinked. ;) Ewwwww, wet dog! Got to love that smell. Phewww!

Pretty soon the skunks are going to start coming out at night again too. GREAT! Nik got sprayed about 6 or 7 times last summer. It was 3 times in 3 days one time, and she is scared to death of water... which is weird because she's half Lab and Labs usually LOVE water. Not her... oh nooo! It's a fight to give her a bath. I bought her a pool last yr so she could cool off when it got too hot, but she won't go near it. And don't even mention the word hose!

I sure hope the city puts out more skunk traps this yr because there are tons of them in my area, and of course Niki thinks she can play with them. I spent a bunch of money last yr going to the vet and then having to get creams, drops and stuff because Nik would get it right straight in the face :( Her poor little eyes, she could hardly open them. But it didn't mean it stopped her the next time either.

Apr 14, 2008, 08:47 AM
Anyone here?

I logged in 2 hours ago and then go a call from my cousin. I've been on the phone since. Her husband of 13 years told her yesterday that he wants a divorce. They have 3 kids 12,8,5 years old. My cousin has been sick for the last 10 years or so. Back problems, and other problems. She had an emergency hysterectomy last year, she's only 32 years old. She has numerous health issues, apparently hubby says he's tired of living with a cripple. Whatever happened to "For better or for worse, through sickness and in health?"
I feel so bad for her.

Okay enough sad stuff. How's everyone doing?

HistorianChick
Apr 14, 2008, 08:49 AM
That's sad, Alty... I'm sorry for your cousin...

I'm doing good. Just got back from a meeting... and I swear... if ONE more person asks me "Have you been in the sun?? He he he..." I'm going to go all Jackie Chan on them... rah...

Yes, I know sunblock is my friend... so is aloe... :)... seriously though, I didn't even think of the possibility of sunburn... it was quite chilly at the Air Show. As well as windy and quite cloudy... probably wind and sun burn...

Apr 14, 2008, 10:06 AM
Weekend with bro was... interesting. We didn't do much... as he sleeps 12 - 14 hours a day. So he'd go to bed around midnight, and he'd wake up around noon - 1pm... eat lunch, watch TV, and we'd go out for dinner, then we'd catch a movie, and he'd be back in bed.

... really exciting.

OOH! We did go sparring though. We both take martial arts (he takes kung fu, I take kung fu and also do mixed martial arts) so we decided to gear up and beat the crap out of each other. I vaguely remember me being able to pick him up and throw him on the ground, but... over the course of the past 6 weeks, he's grown about 2 inches and gained 10 lbs...

HistorianChick
Apr 14, 2008, 10:10 AM
Sneezy... you do martial arts? I've done Kenpo for a few years... haven't done it in a while, but still love it.

Hey Alty!. need your help since you are so good at finding things quickly on Google.

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/8wk-old-puppy-not-eating-205237.html

Pup just got diagnosed with parvo, and she's trying to see if there is some way to save him. I'm looking on Google too, but I'm not sure how to put it on the thread if I find something.

starbuck8
Apr 14, 2008, 11:19 AM
The vet wants to euthanize him.

Alty
Apr 14, 2008, 11:29 AM
I found a site that claims to have homeopathic remedies for parvo, I posted it, hopefully that will help. It's a race against time though.

Unfortunately parvo is a terrible disease for dogs, and once they've had it they can get it again. The most common cause of death due to parvo is dehydration. I don't know if anything can be done for this pup. Obviously the vet thinks it could, otherwise he wouldn't have offered the treatment. It makes me sad. If I were a vet and someone couldn't afford treatment for their pet, and I new that treatment would work, I'd do it for free, or at least work out a payment plan. Poor puppy.

Alty
Apr 14, 2008, 11:33 AM

Please check out this post and see if you can give this girl some advice. I'm the only one who's responded so far and only with info I found on the net. Maybe you can give her better advice and info. Actually, I'm sure you can.

Apr 14, 2008, 12:10 PM
It's sad, but it happens all the time. At least he isn't suffering anymore. I just hope the OP's dog doesn't contract parvo, it's very contagious. If he's vaccinated he should be fine, but vaccines don't always guarantee that you won't catch it.

McDonald's is here, Big Mac here I come, ooh and fries, and a milk shake. Sorry guys, I'm hungry.

I wish I took a before/after picture of my closet...

What was once a closet organized so neatly a clinical OCD patient would have been proud of, filled with shirts arranged via color, suits arranged via price, sweaters, etc...

HistorianChick

One suit... wow...

I understand the need for an orderly closet though... I have two... one (guest bedroom) summer closet and one winter closet. Each closet is arranged according to color - starting with white on the left into black on the right... I'm not OCD... well... maybe a little bit...

It helps knowing that no matter how sleepy I am in the morning, according to where in the closet I reach I can find matching tops and bottoms. Its great.

And very useful on mornings like today...

Eeek, help. There's a really adorable 5 year old girl jumping on me and kissing my face, repeatedly. HELP!

M, I've got to go for a while. Bedtime play, bedtime story, kids go to bed. I'll be back in around an hour. Hope you're still here. If not take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Aunty Alty... I'm going to need your womanly advice on this one:

Okay Sneezy, I gave it a try. Don't tell anyone, secret, but sometimes it's sad to be lumped in the same group as these females. I'm happy that I am female, but there are so many out there that make the rest of us look bad. Frustrating.

Having said that, remember that not all women are like her, in fact, I think there are more great girls out there than bad, unfortunately bad things stick in our mind much more than good.

You'll find someone great one day, someone wonderful, someone who will treat you the way that you deserve, this girl is not the one, nor is she friend material. Heck, with friends like her who needs enemies?

Unfortunately, she was a WONDERFUL person for about... 3 years. Really. She was a SAINT at my school. Anytime anyone found out I was with her, the first question was, "How'd you get her?" Honestly. Just not sure how things did a 180... in such extreme directions... in such a short amount of time.

She was possibly the sweetest most caring girlfriend I've ever had... not to mention, I often refer to her as the best girlfriend I ever had.. . interestingly enough, this has got to be the WEIRDEST breakup ever.

Eh.

Anyway, I'm off for a coffee break really quickly, and I'll be heading to the library. Be back in about an hour or so.

Alty, if you're not here when I get back, thanks as always... and good night!

Sneezy, honey, sorry but it's time to remember why you two aren't together. I never like telling people to think badly about others, but in this case I'm going to. I'm sure that those three years wasn't all fun and laughter, in the end it definitely wasn't. She pushed you to the floor, ripped out your heart, then she stomped on it. Time heals all wounds and you were almost ready to remove the band aid, almost, now she wants to re-open the wound. Don't let her, don't give her your power!

One day you'll meet the most wonderful women, you'll love her and everything about her, and she'll feel the same for you. You'll fight sometimes, you'll disagree, you'll kiss and make up, the world will be a better place because she's in it, and it will be the same for you. The ex will be a thing of the past. Trust me on this one, been there, done that. I dated a guy once that I thought was the love of my life, he ripped my heart in two. Two years later I met my husband and I haven't looked back once. We have our problems, what couple doesn't, but in the end he's still my best friend, my lover, my partner for life, you'll find that too, count on it.

That was sappy, sorry honey.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I promise...

But to be honest, the 3 years... was all fun and games. We never fought. We argued, yes, but we always argued with relatively mature communication and just talked it out and came to a happy medium.. . isn't that bizarre? How many college kids actually do that?

Regardless, I know what to do... just wanted some thoughts as to... why she's not getting the clue.. I mean... a week of not picking up calls... not responding e-mails... c'mon!!

Oh you women.

See you soon sweetie. Chin up and NC, you'll be fine.

A female may not want to have a certain male as a boyfriend any longer, but that doesn't mean she wants to push him out of her life totally. She wants him somewhere in her realm, even just adoring her from afar. Females are taught to be attractive and desirable. NC negates all that. If he abides by NC, she's not attractive or desirable, has lost her luster.

For some reason the vision in my left eye is really blurry all of a sudden. I'm worried. I'm going to call it a night and give my eyes a rest. I hope there's nothing wrong.

Talk to you all tomorrow.

Alty out.

I think I am going to go choke my brother... seriously, I'm so mad at him I just want to shake him!

For those of you who might not know, my parents are snowbirds... live 6 months here and 6 months in FL. They drive back and fourth 3500 mls every yr. 5 straight days of driving at least 12 hrs. Well this yr both my parents have had a lot of health probs, my dad really shouldn't be driving anymore. I've driven with him just in town, and believe me it isn't pretty!
So, they are leaving this Thurs, and my bro has decided to buy some 18' boat and he wants my parent to go pick it up and tow it back for him. (my bro can't even afford his child support, but he can get a toy) My parent also bought themselves a new vehicle while down there this time, and they were going to tow one behind the other, and my mom was going to do most of the driving. Well now, since my Dad still thinks he's 20, and my bro must think he is too, my parents are going to drive 2 separate vehicles!

My mom has been calling me crying, and just stressed right out thinking about the trip, and my Dad pulling a boat behind him without her to watch other traffic.

So I called my bro and told him to get his own damn boat up here, and that he is stressing Mom and Dad right out! So he calls my Dad... Dad says it's no biggie, and my bro calls me and tells me... I don't know what your prob is... Dad doesn't have a prob with it... UUUURRRRGGGGHHHHH!

Sorry that was so long guys! ;)

Oh Starby, I can definitely see where you would want to ring your brothers neck!
Tell him if you can call him again, that they are just saying that so they can make him happy. They really shouldn't be doing this, no way no way!. Darn men and the "I think I can handle anything " mind! Damn it anyway! Sorry I almost went on my own rant!:)
Hang in there Starby, maybe something will come up mysteriously and they won't be able to do it! Hugs sweet heart!

My mom always call me and tells me what she thinks, and vents on me... but for some ridiculous reason, even though my brother has been screwing up so bad in the last few yrs. (cheated on his wife, got another girl pregnant, had to sell his house before the back foreclosed... etc etc.) my mom treats him like an angel. He's 40 yrs old for crying out loud. But my parents walk on egg shells around him and just can't tell him no... FOR ANYTHING!

Ah, the baby-of-the-family syndrome... I have experience in dealing with this.

... Can't you just tell your father you forbid him in doing this, as his actions are worrying you and your mother?

starbuck8
Apr 14, 2008, 10:48 PM
Thanks Starty!! It's just so darn frustrating. I did tell my brother ahead of time (well in a message because he never answers his phone) to try and find another way to get the boat home, and to try and make up some sort of excuse why Dad didn't have to go get it. I told him that he knows how stubborn Dad is, and he thinks he can do anything, so he would have to come up with a story.

Did he do that?. of course not. Before talking to me, he called Dad and said that I had called him and that I was worried. Well of course my Dad just chuckled and told my bro... well you know your sister, she worries about everything. Things will be fine!

Then I got an email from my mom saying... thanks, but it didn't work, your Dad will be towing the boat back after all.

He doesn't sound too clever starby , I'd strangle him as well. If your Dad seems to say to him its OK why don't you tell him to ask your Mum what she thinks.

He won't listen Sneeze. Like I said, he doesn't realise, well doesn't want to admit that he can't handle it. He's stubborn as hell!

Apr 14, 2008, 10:52 PM
Oh those damn men. This sounds so farkin familiar. I am so mad at your brother right now! LOL, Calm down Start!
Tell Mom to drive in front of not behind Dad. I suppose this is the best advice to give, she can control the speed and the easy access to parking lots and such! Goodness Starby, I am so sorry!
