No one here today? Hmmm, apparently the action happens at night.

HC, were are you? Is everything okay? I'm worried.

Just checking in, now I'm checking out. Hope everyone's okay.

I got the job!!!

Good Job Synn, congratulations, way to go. High Five. That's GREAT!

Congrats!! I'm so glad to hear some good news from someone today!

Woo HOO Synn, you go girl! Nice!

Starby, how is your family?

Yes, Starby, is everything okay?

Hey all, does anyone know where HC is?

Nope...

No Sneezy... no HC...

Draw your own conclusions!

(thanks for the grats, all!)

Okay guys, little vent, for once not about anyone or anything on this site.

One of my down filled blankets sprung a leak. My bedroom looks like the murder site of a chicken farm. Feathers are everywhere. The kids found it before I did and decided to gut the rest of the blanket. Feathers are flying and they're invading the rest of the house. The vacuum is getting clogged. Should I just get some tar, put it on the kids and let them roll around? ;)

FEATHERS EVERYWHERE!

How Fun!!

Not the way I'd describe it, but I'm sure I'll laugh tomorrow, after it's all cleaned up. Yikes, now the dogs are playing with it. :(

No sense in getting upset, big messes are soooo fun!!

Hee, hee, sometimes. Like I said, I'll laugh tomorrow, right now I'm cursing at my vacuum cleaner, darn thing keeps clogging because of the feathers. Wait till hubby sees, he's going to fall down laughing :)

Hey ladies.

Been a busy day... classes and work, and didn't even have time to have lunch.

I just got back from the gym, about to shower, eat, and head to sbucks to write some more of my paper... and do some homework.

Today... because I was so busy, I lost quite a bit on the market. I was supposed to pull out around 1030am... but I didn't have time. Just checked it. Lost... 4 figures. Sad.

I'm also sort of coming down with something... sore throat. This is not good.

Where IS HC?

Sorry for the ramblings, but I figured I should put my entire train of thought in one post before I disappear.

Alty: how're your eyes?

Starby: the family OK?

Oh goodness Sneezy, I hope your night is better than the day!

So do I starty.. so do I.

I mean, with 2 weeks left before graduation, things are supposed to be calmer and easier... and more relaxed, but I feel like I'm running around constantly.

I think you have it backwards... IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE two weeks after graduation! :) :) :)
You will be OK, just hold it together! ;)

Hey all, so HC never showed up? Now I'm worried. I hope she's okay.

Sneezy, you need to sleep, that's why you're getting sick. Mommy Alty is at it again. Have some chicken noodles soup, some orange juice, and SLEEP!

Otherwise, how is everyone?

Good and bored tonight... I suppose I will have a small little shot and a cup a coffee... when the kids settle that is! :) How is Alty?

Hi lovely ladies , just sitting over here in my corner :-)

Mommy alty, I believe you're right...

I'm going to take a quick nap for about an hour... be back in a few.

You do that Sneezy. I am Doctor MOM. ;)

Hey there M. Sexy ladies, I blush, you are such a smooth talker.

Beware all, I've had two beers tonight, and I'm going to get another soon, it's been that kind of day. I will hereforth not be responsible for what I say. Did that make sense?

I'm getting a complex. When I'm gone you are all chatty, I show up and everyone leaves. Is it just me, am I paranoid? Just cause your paranoid it doesn't mean someone really isn't out to get you. :) ;)

Really, where is everyone?

Hi dr. mom alty.

I was just woken up... by 4 missed phone calls.

1. best bud - wants to go to a bar. I don't feel like drinking... so I declined.

2. ex.

3. ex.

4. ex.

.. anyways, I'm heading out to a bar to work on my pool game... not to drink.

Hold down the fort for me!

How did the research paper work out Sneezy?

Alty, we are just on at different times is all, don't you worry!:)
Sneezy good idea for the pool game but keep the NC:)
Friend, for some reason, I picture you there perfectly, watching but looking quite cool!! :)

Paper's still going... I turned in what I had so far to my prof and he'll probably get back to me tomorrow to see what else can be done.

OK ladies! I'll be back later!

What happened? Did somebody fart in the pub today or what?. LMAO! Looks like there was hardly anyone here all day!

Thank you all for asking about my family. I've been waiting all day for an update, but I haven't heard a thing! So, I'm going to keep thinking that no news is good news.

I've been getting calls all day from the ex. (not the one with the no-contact order, but the previous 12 plus yr guy, lol) I didn't answer of course, but he left messages. The man has either gone insane, or he thinks I have. ;) He wants to know if I want to go on a road trip with him this wkd. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!. sorry, had to pick myself up from the floor!

My parents are leaving to come home tomorrow morning, of course with the damn boat! (be on the lookout Sneezy) My Mom sent me a rather creepy sounding email before the phone was disconnected, and the computer was packed up. She usually just sends an email to us kids to say "we're on our way, see you all when we get home." But this time she sent it to ALL family, saying things like, we know you all will be wishing us the best and praying for us, and we want you all to remember that we love you. Geez, I wish she wouldn't have done that! Now I'm going to be a nervous wreck, and jump every time I hear my phone ring for the next week!

So how is everyone else... if there is anybody here?! Oh, I think I see Friend sitting over there in the corner. :D

Alty, did you get your chicken murder scene cleaned up yet? LOL!

Hi starby
Unfortunately we have a server crisis here at work today so the longer I take to fix it the longer 30 people can't get their work done. I'll try to pop in now and then where possible.

Hi all , bye all for now

Good luck with getting things fixed Friend! Sounds like everyone has had a busy day! :)

Hi all. I'm here, don't leave. ;)

There are still a few stray feathers flying around, one went up my nose, that was not fun.

How's everyone else doing?

Haha... we'll have to call YOU Sneezy! ;)

I did sneeze funny, that's for sure. ;)

I wonder what happened to Chicky today?! I think that's the first time I haven't seen her on during the day. I hope everything is okay!

I wasn't on too much today either. Got some more of my arrangements done,. did some cleaning and found flower parts everywhere, lol But that was about it. My van won't start again, so now I don't know if someone has been messing with it again, or if it's maybe the battery (shouldn't be, it isn't very old) or the alternater, I guess could possibly be another thing... blah! All that means is more money I have to spend. I would rather be SHOPPING! ;)

Shopping trip, I call shot gun. ;)

Okay, I am a glutton for punishment. I just got a reddie for telling a fifteen year old pregnant girl that she shouldn't run away with her 18 year old boyfriend. Guess who gave me the reddie, the 15 year old pregnant girl. Why do I bother? Fr_CHuck pretty much gave the same advice, he got a reddie from her too. KIDS!

I know... I think they are just waiting for the other 15 yr old kids to say... yes, yes, run away with him, he'll love you and he'll get a job at Mickey D's to make sure he has enough money to pay for your medical bills and take care of his baby moma. He'll buy you a big house (or trailer, lol) and when you finish school, he will ask you to marry him, and you and him and your baby will run off into the sunset to go backpacking in Europe!

LOL,. was that too harsh?. hahaha!

I basically told her that she was living in a dream world, so no, yours wasn't to harsh. I was nice about it though. I told her that at 15 she really didn't know what love was, that even though she really thinks she's in love, and those feelings are very real, the chances that her and this boy will be together forever and make it, especially with a baby on the way, are not bloody likely. Really, talking to a 15 year old girl is like talking to a brick wall. But hey, I was like that when I was that age. I just wish they'd realize that maybe, just maybe, because we were teenage girls too, that we might know what we are talking about. Frustrating. Sorry for the book.

Okay, I'm having another beer, how about you Starby, can I pour you a cold one. Wait a minute, we're canadian, we drink out of the can (not toilet), don't we? :)

Alty
I just gave you a balancer... ok back to work :-)

Big kiss and hug to you M, thank you. I haven't gotten a reddie in a long time, it was such a shock. I thought, man, what did I do wrong now? Thanks sweetie, I owe you one. :)

I just popped a top myself :) Uhmmm, am I going to look dumb here? What is a balancer? LOL

Ahhhh, okayyy... I get it now! DUH!

Reallllyyyy!. It's the hair dye... it seeps through!

A balancer is when someone gives you an undeserved reddie, someone balances it out by giving you a greenie, because your post wasn't factually incorrect. Yikes, have another beer Alty, did that make sense?

Tal gave me a greenie balancer for that post too, I feel better.

What's the verdict on that beer?

Hey M, I'll sneek one to you if you want. ;)

Yes thanks Alty... I could do with a beer right now. I'm really hating puters today :-)

I told you that I popped a top with you girl! LOL I only have one left though :( Maybe I could send Niki to the beer store with a note around her neck? I'm sure she could carry back a 6 pack?! She's cute!. they might even give her a discount! :)

Oh, popped a top, sorry I have cans, they don't really have tops, they have tabs, maybe I've had to many already.

One beer for M, just don't pour it on you puter, that won't help, even though it would probably feel really good. ;)

MMMmmmmmmmmmm... now that's good :)


7830

Hi ladies, how are you guys doing? Oh, ladies + friend. Just got back from shooting some pool with a buddy of mine... I realized that I haven't played pool in about 4 years, and... I... am... horrid. YIKES.

Got a few beers, caught up with my buddy... now I'm home.

I'm off from work tomorrow, so I have the morning/afternoon to just... veg, clean my apartment, do some laundry, and possibly go out and get some shopping done... I need some clothes and I am in need of a new cologne. Any suggestions?

Now that's a beer, I can almost taste it. Mmmmmmm, how come your beer is bigger than my beer? It's my pub. Sheeesh. ;)

Okay lefty is acting up again, I swear I'm going to lose it, hey I think I've already lost it, this is insane, when is it going to stop?

Hi Sneezy! What have you done with Chicky??

My fave cologne has always been Calvin Klein for Men... and CK Eternity for Meeee!

HA HA :-)
Love it Alty

Look after lefty too!

Ya Sneezy, fess up, is she tied up in your apartment. Really, it's the beer talking. ;)

HEHEHE... baaaad Alty! ;)

HA HA :-)
Love it Alty

I hope everyone saw it, I deleted it. I was a bit worried when it wouldn't let me post it using one of the words the way that I typed it. I don't want to get in trouble. Glad you saw it M, I think it's funny too, but I've got a warped sense of humor.

Heh... well, you know...

But really, I hope she's OK.

I'm worried. Maybe she just had meetings all day and couldn't check in. If she's not here tomorrow I'm sending out a search party.

Darnit Lefty, smarten up! Lefty is going al blurry again, and the tear duct is still clogged and possibly infected. Sneezy, how would I go about unclogging the tear duct with a needle at home? I'm actually desperate enough to try it at this point. Don't worry, I won't, but man, I'm tempted.

:eek:

Are you doing anything to unclog it? Did the ophth give you anything?

Hey Alty, do you have Leno on there at midnite, or so? If you do you should catch it towards the end (I just caught it on satellite on an eastern station) Jay has a bunch of old geezers on, singing and rapping. It's so funny! One 80 yr old guy singing Dancing In The Dark! They're pretty good actually... but it made me giggle... okay, yeah... maybe it's the beer! LOL!

I know it's too late for Sneezy to watch it, and Friend already missed it, haha

Sneezy, they can't give me the drops because of the surgery, it's not advisable at this time. They are setting up an appointment for me with a "lid" specialist, how sad is that? The appointment won't be for a few weeks yet and this darn tear duct won't unclog, this is the longest I've ever had a clogged tear duct and the most painful. I'm doing the massage and heat pack, but nothing is helping. I'm desperate. :(

OK, so you are doing the massage thing... other than the massage, I really don't have any other options for you... sorry sweets.

Aw man, I can see how annoying that would be.. :(

Starby, I love Leno, my ex-boyfriend was actually on Leno a few weeks back. He's an entomoligist at the LA museum. He wrote me an email to tell me he was on but I hadn't checked it in a while. I caught his part purely by accident. I'm sitting there watching, I looked away for a minute and then heard his voice, I was shocked. My hubby was more excited then I was, weird reaction to seeing your wife's former boyfriend on TV. Men, I can't figure them out.

Thanks anyway Sneezy. I go back for an eye exam next Friday, unfortunately there's nothing they can do, or at least there's nothing they are willing to do. I just might have to haul my cookies to my regular doctors office again and see if he can work his magic.

Thanks Sneezy. :)

That's funny Alty! Yeah men, who can figure them, lol ;) I usually have Leno on, but most of the time I'm talking to you guys and not paying any attn, haha. So I must have missed that guy.

Sneeze? have you read a new thread where this guy says he's worried about his girlfriend, because she went to the dr today and got an x-ray, and they found a lump on her spine, and the Dr.'s told her that it's because of stress! Ok, now am I missing something there? lol If something like that is because of stress, I must be pretty darn lumpy... LOL! ;)

You guys, I'm falling asleep at my computer. I've got to go to bed. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

HC has some explaining to do. ;)

Toodles.

See you guys and gals... friend is off to the pub :-)

Oh the other pub!

Have another for me again Friend, :) Ciao!

Oh, and G'nite to Alty too... you went away before I could say that!

Gnite guys.

Starby, no I did not see that post... lump on spine due to stress!. that's a new one for me...

Goodness... I don't have work tomorrow, but I think I'm going to run some errands... so I'm outtie for the night?

Starby, hold down the fort, and try to get some sleep :)

G'nite Sneezy!. must be one of those days... I'm yawnin away. Maybe that means some sleep! Yeay!

Can I just say that it is NOT a beautiful day in MY neighborhood?

RAH...

My weekend escapade (you know, the whole watching "hot navy men in tight jumpsuits get into sleek planes), not only do I have the sunburn that rivals the surface of the sun, but also the grandfather of all cold sores. Its taken over my bottom lip...

Seriously...

I feel like Beaker... you know, Dr. Honeydew's assistant with the HUGE orange lip? Yeah. Beaker.

Rah...

Pain... lots o' pain... :(

(I took off yesterday cause of the stupid, idiotic pain... may end up home early today)

Well there's our missing Chicky! We were about ready to put out an APB on you! ;)

OUCH! That's got to hurt! :(

Can I just say that I am SO not a fan of pain! Really... sheesh...

Yeah, it sucks for sure. I don't get cold sores very often, but my Mom gets them severely bad and you can tell how much they hurt. Actually yours sound more like heat blisters, and I've sure had those! Big OWWWIE!

Yup, heat blisters on top of the cold sore. I haven't had one in years...

Anyway... how are you? I missed chatting with everyone yesterday!

I'm good. There wasn't too much chatting going on yesterday as you can probably see.

I got an update on my cousin and his wife this morn. There hasn't really been too much change, although they are both stable for now. My cousin seems to be responding somewhat to antibiotics, and they were able to take his wife off her BP meds, but she is still on life support. They still can't figure out what bacteria is causing their illnesses, none of the tests that they have done have given them any clues. They have a viral bacterial specialist coming in today, so hopefully they can figure out what's making them so sick.

Wow... that's something else. Makes my "little" cold sore look so menial and tiny. I hope they will be better soon...

Thank you! Yeah, it's a pretty scary thing seeing as they both got sick at the same time, and just thought they had the flu. But within 24 hrs they were in the hosp in critical condition. Makes you wonder what in the world is out there these days eh? They are at a good University hospital though, so hopefully they have some good Dr.'s that are right up to date with new viruses.

It's so warm and sunny out this morn. I can't believe they are calling for snow again tomorrow... BLAH!

That really stinks...

I'm loving the weather here... at least its pretty to look at, that is! :) Lol... got to love a desk job :)

Hey ladies.

HI HC!! Heat blisters.. yikes!

Well, I have the day off... so I think I'm going to take the time to clean my apartment... do some laundry... and possibly go to the mall to get some new clothes + cologne. How's everyone else's day looking?

Yeah I gotcha! It's nice to be able to work from home. For yrs I worked at this one Floral Shop, and we were stuck downstairs, in what we called the dungeon. All of the greenhouses were on the main floor, so they stuck us down there. It was ridiculously hot in the summer, and freezing cold (to the point that each of us brought our own space heaters and kept our coats on sometimes) in the winter. There were no windows, so you never even knew what the heck the weather was doing outside. I sure don't miss any of that! ;)

Morning Sneezy! Hope you enjoy your day off!

Ooo... what cologne, Sneezy? ;)

Well, I'm having a hard time deciding between

Tom Ford

Antidote by Viktor and Rolf

Sexual Fresh by Michel Germain.

Mmm... Antidote... Good choices!

I just splurged and bought myself a new bottle of "me in a perfume"... Very Irresistible by Givenchy. I have way too many choices though... lol...

Hi all.

HC, I was so worried about you, I was ready to haul my cookies to Nashville and start a search party. I was going to enlist M, Sneezy and Starby, I'm glad you're back. Sorry to hear that you are feeling poorly. If you end up going home early just hop a plane and come here, we can be miserable together, lefty is still acting up, in fact my eye was all gummy this morning and I couldn't open it without allot of help.

Starby, Sneezy, how are you guys?

Mm... I love that perfume! This girl in my human phys class wears it, so three times a week, for about 2 hours, I'm engulfed in it.

The thing is, I currently wear perry ellis red... but it was a gift from my ex... about 2 years ago so I figured it's time for a change.

Oof alty... eye drops help?

Alty, you have no idea how tempting that is... for the co-misery and the cool temps! :)

But I'm not complaining... as the gas station attendant so pithily said this morning... It could be worse! (I almost bonked her on the nose... but its true)

I'm sorry about your eye...

Perry Ellis Red - that's nice too... Aramis Life... yummy... Good Life by Davidoff... sexy...

Soooo many colognes... ;)

I'm:

Very Irrisistable - Givenchy
Dream Angel Heavenly - Victoria Secret
Be Delicious/Green - DKNY
Sexy - Victoria Secret...

And many... many more, depending upon my mood.

Today? Curve Crush. :)

Actually the weather is really nice today, but we're supposed to get snow tomorrow. If you come we can build a snow man together. You can spend the weekend, hug bunnies, play with kids, go home, get your tubes tied (kidding, the kids are great). Come see how Alty lives, if you can call it living. ;)

Oh, I've got coffee today, it's a good day.

Sneezy, I'm still putting in the eye drops that I got after the surgery, but it's just "Refresh tears" nothing medicinal, but it does help a bit.

Guten Morgen Alty :) Fine thanks! Oh, I hate that when you wake up and your eyelids are glued shut. I sure hope lefty gets better soon... and Chickys lips too. I feel like I'm getting a bit of a cold... does that count? LOL!

Other than the CK cologne I mentioned yesterday, my fave sexy scent on a guy is just Axe body wash, and nothing else but a towel, hahaha!

LOL... I just edited, I put Chicky Lip before... sorry Chicky... didn't mean to make fun of your Chicky Lips! ;)

Other than the CK cologne I mentioned yesterday, my fave sexy scent on a guy is just Axe body wash, and nothing else but a towel, hahaha!

Didn't know that was an option! :D

Oooh, go for that one Sneezy, kidding, I'm married, darnit. ;)

Hey HC you and I make a good pair today, you and your sunburn and bee stung lips, me and my gooey left eye. Aren't we a cute couple? ;)

... how... bizarre.

... I JUST got out of the shower... I used axe body wash... and I am wearing a towel.

... too.. weird?

::looks around::

... STARBY! GET OUT OF MY CLOSET!!

alty: yeah, if you're heat packing + massaging and nothing's coming of it... the best you can do is give yourself temp relief until the surgery. Yikes =(

Guten Morgen Starby, wie geht es dir?

Hee, hee, Starby are you coming out of Sneezy's closet? Hee, hee. Sorry, only one cup of coffee so far, my brain is still on silly.

...how...bizarre.

...I JUST got out of the shower...I used axe body wash...and I am wearing a towel.

...too..weird?

::looks around::

...STARBY! GET OUT OF MY CLOSET!!!


SNEEZY! I'm at work... SO not fair...

I'm not at work, continue Sneezy, I need a cheap thrill. Sorry HC. ;)

Okay, I know Guten Morgen and how to count! That's about as good as I do! Now what was the question?? LOL! Achhhteleiber Alty! Lmao.

You didn't know that I sneak into your closet every now and again Sneezy... did you? Mwwaaahahahaha!

What is happening inhere? You crazy people...

Sneezy... LUCKY!:) Heehee

The rest was, how are you? I speak fluent german, at least I did a few years ago. Since my parents died I really don't have anyone to talk to in german, I think I might be a bit rusty.

Hey Sneezy, want to learn some German before you go on your European trip, they love it when you speak in their native tongue. Don't worry though, most everyone speaks English there, especially in the touristy places.

Sneezy lucky? Nope, we girls are lucky. Wow, I really need more coffee.

Sorry Sneezy, I'll be good now, I promise.

Goodness ladies! Not even noon here yet and things are going like THIS?!

Yes, I'd LOVE to learn some german before I go!

This is what happens when we all get too much coffee! ;)

It's noon somewhere Sneeze... oh I'm just not going to say what came to mind, lol... I'd probably get a good smack or a big boooooo from you. Hehehe! ;)

I think Alty has been spiking our coffee this morning... hmmmm!

Oh, Morning Starty, got caught up in the morning conversation, lol

Hey Sneezy, I'll teach you the basics, we'll talk later okay?

I still have random feathers flying around from yesterdays blanket explosion. I am never buying down filled again. Yikes, feathers are not fun to clean up. To top it all of a friend of mine came over yesterday, he's allergic to feathers. He was sneezing the whole time he was here, poor guy.

Hey HC... :) nice to see you ewren't kid knapped!

Lol... thanks Starty, nope not kidnapped... taken hostage by a heat blister... :)

Poor HC, I hope you feel better come the weekend.

Starty, you would have helped me find her if she didn't come back, right?

I must admit, I did miss you guys! I knew you'd worry... sorry I didn't make it online.

I'll be better next time the heat blister from Hell rears its ugly head!

Alty, I would have helped!
Hc, ouch! Yikes!

Well what the heck?! All of a sudden my screen went blank, and when I came back to the page, I had to sign in again... but it wouldn't let me! Hmmmmm!

It's the heat blister from hell... its emanating its evilness and blanking out screens... BAD HBFH! Out damned spot! Rah...

:)

Hey all, I've got to go, I just got a coffee time guest. I'll be back later.

HC, take care of yourself.

Starty and Starby, make sure HC takes care of herself. ;)

Sneezy, go take care of HC.

Hee, hee, more coffee for me. Later all.

Lol... have a good day, Alty!

Bye alty!

HC: I hope you know to avoid salty foods... at least until your sun blister goes away.

Also... I'd hate to say this... but you got to avoid chocolate, sodas, peas, nuts, beer, and cereals... as much as you can.. . oh yeah, twizzlers as well.

Coffee? Oh crap that is what I was missing, I made a cup and sat down... but forgot my coffee at the counter, geeze, what is wrong with me?

Have fun Alty! I'm off for awhile too, to try and fix puter again, pphhhfffff!

See y'all in awhile! ;)

Really? Rah... no twizzlers? Rah... Ok, OK. Yes, Doc Sneezy.

I see that you avoided mentioning coffee... that's not in the list, is it? Cause, them's fighting words! THAT would be a hill I would die on...

(Thanks, by the way... :))

Bye Starby, good luck with the puter!! :)

Well, I wouldn't "advise" coffee.. but I know you'd rather die without it... so I shied away from that topic.

HA! All right... I'll limit my caffeine intake... "limit" being a very broad term... but I will... :)

Well ladies... I'm out for the day... running errands. You all be good while I'm gone!

Take care Sneezy!

Hey there Chika :)

Hey, Resty! :) How you doing?

Not too shabby. Just trying to figure out some stuff for work. And trying to get sidetracked. It's close to lunch time, lol.

LOL! I'm multi-tasking, too. :) Still stuck on a proposal, but doing that and getting sidetracked...

I'm trying to figure out how to get a Cisco IP phone that doesn't support SIP to work with an Asterisk PBX :)

Research research research... Cisco likes to make things difficult to set up sometimes. Lol.

I'm back for a few.

HC, you have to cut down on coffee? My sympathies. ;)

He Resty, long time no see. How are you?

Wow... that's... interesting :)

Like I've said before, I am such a techno-idoit... really.

I wanted the IBook because it was pretty and had a handle. Seriously.

Hee, hee, is it red?

Yeah... awful, isn't it? I feel like crap and can't even drink coffee to make me feel better... grrr...

Hee, hee, is it red?

Lol... actually, it's the platinum one... gray... its purty :)

Hiya alty :) Doing pretty well.

Man... this Michigan weather is out of the ordinary. It's April and we've had 3 days in a row without rain... and what's even more out of the ordinarey, it's still sunny.

Rub it in Resty, we're supposed to get snow tomorrow. :)

So you've been busy at work, did you get a chance to read all the stuff you missed? That would be allot of reading, we're all really chatty. :) ;)

HC, platinum huh? When we bought a new cell phone I really wanted the pretty pink one, hubby said no way, after all we were going to share it, he didn't want to be caught with a pretty pink phone. Sigh, it was gorgeous. :)

Does anyone work for cingular..

I am in a bind.

I have a blackberry pearl... the first one I got had problems holding its charge. I changed the battery, but the problem remained, so I called them, and they sent me a replacement one... well, a month into it, this one's having the same problem. I called them and they said, "for the second replacement, we have to send you another blackberry pearl."

... fine. Send me another one. HOWEVER, if I start having problems with THAT one, I'll be stuck as I won't be in the warranty stages.

... someone get me an iPhone, stat.

I'm blackberry illiterate, really, have no idea how to use one, and I'm not willing to learn. The fact that I have a cell phone is a huge deal, sad. I do love my pretty puter with the big monitor and the high speed internet, funny the things you can't live without that you never though you'd need.

I went back a few pages from this morning... the rest is just way too much for me, lol.
What's this about German, though? I've actually started tryiung to learn Dutch (which is close to german). I might as well... I'm 100% dutch in heritage.

Nope, sorry Sneezy. I switched from Cingular to get away from Stalker Boy... Not that it helped any, but I did.

IPhone... *sigh* pretty...

My current phone is red though, Alty! :) It's the Samsung Juke... 2 Gigs of internal memory for songs... and its red :) http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/10/Samsung_Juke_for_VZW.jpg

Ooooh, pretty. Mine has a camera, that's all I know.

Sad, I'm really not a techno kind of girl. Even though I have the cell phone I hardly ever use it. We bought it and pay as you go, we haven't even bought any minutes for 3 months, we never use it. We got it when my mother-in-law was sick so that the hospital could contact us anytime. Now it sits on the counter collecting dust. It's blueish gray, the pink one was so nice, maybe I'd use it if it was pink. ;)

Lol, you two are funny.

Afternoon, sneezy :)

Guys, I need major help!

What do I go get for lunch today?

Hey chris.

... go for subway?

Mmm... Mexican :)

McDonalds, that's my choice.

I got to go pick up princess picky pants from school. I'll be back later. Be good, I'm watching. ;)

See you, Alty :)

Hmm. And all three of those are within a few miles...

I was thinking subway, but I don't know... do I really want to eat that much? Lol
And taco bell... I do love that taco bell.
And McDonalds is the closst and cheapest... so convenient. =/

I love pink... but my phone is red. Alty I am right there with you, I hardly ever use mine too! I don't have a Ipod or anything, the most I got was a laptop cause my family noticed (for some reason) that I loved being here... Heehee

Resty, I hope you get the help you need, I have no idea what you are talking about!:)

I'm trying to decide where to go for lunch, lol

Soup and a sammich always sounds good, with a cold drink of course!:)
I thought you were having a research problem... LOL, sorry

I just had a sammich! I just had a sammich!! You have no idea how awesome eating real food is!!

Now that I've reached my goal, I can stop eating leaves!!

LOL, I need a goal cause something has to give before my buttons do! Just kidding, but it would be nice to get rid of my Bubbye Arm:(

Bubbye arm... too cute.

Well, ladies... that time of the day has come. I'm off to classes + gym... you all be good now.

I'll be back later tonight to let you all know about my dinner ;)

Nice to see you got to have a sammich!:)

See you later, Sneezy!

HChicky, I wonder if I could design my whol life around the color pink? Do you think others would be bothered with it? Black too, but MOSTLY pink:)

Good afternoon all...
Stringer

Oh yes... I think Pink is a life-worthy color! Victoria Secret has capitalized on the word PINK... you can get all sorts of "inner" and outer things! :D

Afternoon, Stringer! :)

Hi HC how are you? I haven't gone back to read any pages, did you ever get those servers fixed and did you do it w/o coffee?

Hmmm... I'm not sure I remember broken servers... lol... But I do know this... Me sans coffee is NEVER a productive combination.

As evidenced by today's mental state...

That was Friend with servers down... Hi Stringer!

That was Friend with servers down...Hi Stringer!

Gotcha... thanks, I guess I should read more (huh?) and more thoroughly. But I know you guys will set me straight and/or cover for me... :D

HC, I cannot think of not having coffee, I am in the process of quitting smoking (if you remember) and this is tough enough. To take on coffee or dieting at the same time... wow.

I am going to check my medical insurance to see if I have mental health coverage, cause I would need it.
Stringer

I know Stringer. Someone will have your back, haha. It just so happened I was involved in the conversation when Friend told us. I kind of do the skimming over the posts too. Sometimes we all get a little yappy... too much to read! LOL... 2 pots of coffee later you're halfway through catching up! ;)

LOL! Yes, I completely understand! Quitting coffee is just not an option for me. Sometimes I"ll go for a weekend without it "just to see"... I don't have the withdrawals, I just miss the taste. And the literary look that one portrays when holding a steamy cup of joe. Makes me look smart! ;)

Yes, I do remember that you're quitting! How's that going?

I decided to go to lunch. The phone server isn't as important as filling my tummy, lol.

I decided on Checkers, by the way. It's the first time I've been there like... ever. It was sensational.

Mmm... Checkers... Yum... Don't you just adore their fries! :)

Yep that also describes me... I "skim" a lot and look for highlights and just get a feel for the conversation.

But... I am always watching... he he... NO... you don't have to lock your doors and windows, wait... kidding, I am a nice guy, I am!:D :) :D :)

I do! They were so awesome... I got the ones with all the other junk on them. Like.. the bacon and stuff. I didn't even want my burger anymore... they were so filling.

But.......I am always watching......he he....NO.......you don't have to lock your doors and windows, wait.....kidding, I am a nice guy, I am!:D :) :D :)

That's OK, I hide out in Sneezy's closet sometimes just to find out what's happening! I kind of busted myself this morning! LOL:D ;)

Ahhh yes... the loaded fries... Mm... a lunch in themselves!

Stringer, so nice to know you're always watching out for us. :)

Starby... I'm going to be checking Sneezys closets from now on!! Wouldn't want to unknowingly embarrass myself, now, would I? ;)

I do! They were so awesome...I got the ones with all the other junk on them. Like..the bacon and stuff. I didn't even want my burger anymore...they were so filling.

Chris, I don't know if you want to loose weight or not, however the first thing they told me was; convince yourself that a big, juicy, thick cheeseburger with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and mayo on a fresh lightly toasted bun was disgusting. (hasn't worked for me as yet:( :rolleyes:)

Stringer

That's ok, I hide out in Sneezy's closet sometimes just to find out what's happening! I kind of busted myself this morning! LOL:D ;)

Confused I thought that, that lying in the corner of the Pub was for from the night before? So, maybe now I get it; covert?

That would be the same as telling you to convince yourself that brussel sprouts tasted like tiny scoops of ice cream!

Apple so lutely... god, food again!

That's Friend that always sits in the corner of the pub watching us all and keeping an eye on us so we don't get out of hand. ;) He's probably there right now hiding in the shadows, hehehe!

Man Starby... geeze, am I ever going to hit a target today?. I'll bring my "verbal" shotgun next time, I hit something--maybe. Haha:o

Lol... s'ok Stringer... we love you anyway! :)

I thought I was the one keeping you from getting out of hand?

Morning Synn! Er... Afternoon!

(Sssssssssssss)

/\ if you didn't get my email, you have NO idea what that means... lol :)

I am SO hungry now...

Wife isn't home at the moment (shopping again-another story) so I think I will nuke a couple steak and cheese Chimichanga's. Quick, filling and not too bad... of course there has to be Pepsi...

I thought I was the one keeping ya'll from getting out of hand?

Apparently Stringer can use all the help he can get today... :confused:

Lol... s'ok Stringer... we love you anyways! :)

Thanks hon, (the "needy" need love... ):p

You made me hungry too! Yummm, a Rueben sounds good. Got some good deli stuff in the fridge!. off I go to make me a sammich too!

Catch you cats later! :D

Any time! :)

Man Starby.....geeze, am I ever going to hit a target today?......I'll bring my "verbal" shotgun next time, I hit something--maybe. haha:o


Ptchew... Ptchewwwwww!! :)

Ptchew......Ptchewwwwww!!!!!!!!!:)

We all know that you don't miss anything when you get a bead on it. (Annie Oakley; American sharpshooter).:)

I'm at home for now, HC, so I won't see your email until about... oh... 6 PM your time :P

Sssssssssssssssssssssss

Ok... I'm going to forward it...

Not. My. Day.

My usual Tuesday/Thursdays include me going to sbucks, studying for about an hour or two, then leaving my car there and walking to campus for class, returning after an hour and a half.

... this has been my ritual for the past 5 months.

I get a boot on my car today. $75.. . sad.

No. Way. Your pretty Nadia? (Nadia, right?) Poor thing...

I really should have gone home at noon. I agree... Not. My. Day. Either.

Yes. My nadia.

... so angry. I guess, I deserved it... but c'mon! I was in sbucks for 2 hours then on campus for one!! c'mon!!

Hey, I just got called into work on my day off. I'm not doing all that hot either!

We won $200 at the casino last night, though :D

Sad. Poor Nadia. :(

Happy! Nice Job, Synn! :)

Synn:

Want to fork that cash over to a poor college student, now $75 less?

:( Poor Sneezy... but at least you smell good! Right?

??

LOL! Yes, Stringer??

Synn:

wanna fork that cash over to a poor college student, now $75 less?

Did you have outstanding tickets? Not sure why they would boot..

I parked in front of a starbucks, then went to campus... they discourage that because they would rather you park your car on campus... which doesn't make very much sense as starbucks is literally a 2 minute walk from campus. Gar.

LOL! Yes, Stringer???

Huh? I thought I was the one confused... well you know that I have been behind the mental
8 ball all day... so what do I know?:confused:

I see, possibly the merchants (including Starbucks) are encouraging this due to parking problems.. Still not fun... huh?

no... I mean, if I just parked and went to class, that's one thing...

but I went inside sbucks for about 2 hours, then went to class for about an hour... gimme a break.

HC: didn't get that cologne... =(

That royally stinks. Double whammy.

Its Whack-A-Sneezy day... so sorry... I'd make you brownies if I could... :)

Oh, and by the way, Sneezy Dear... I haven't had coffee since you said you "wouldn't say not to"... Good HC...

I deserve a reward! ;)

no...I mean, if I just parked and went to class, that's one thing...

but I went inside sbucks for about 2 hours, then went to class for about an hour...gimme a break.

HC: didn't get that cologne...=(

K... I see, you were a customer...

I would check out the staff a starbucks, possible someone is jealous (or something) and called the bootcops? Prob not though... they probably caulked your tire.

Yeah... bastards.

Anyway, on a lighter note...

What would like HC?

Do I hear cooing... what is that, hmmmmmm?

Hmmm...

I'm the reward recipient. The choice of said reward lies in the hands of reward giver. Didn't you know that? Its always better that way! ;)

Really? I've always asked people what they wanted... that way, there's no limit as to what/how much/how often/when the reward is given.

Yessss, that is true... but, it takes the level of mystique and intrigue out of the equation and turns it into a "I-want-that-reward-me-please" "given"...

I adore surprises!

OK, later...

Awww Stringer... where you going? We need our Annie-Oakley-esque protector! :)

VERY true... I'm going to go with my Dr. House's narcissistic masochist ways and say... :

Gifts allow us to demonstrate exactly how little we know about a person and nothing pisses off a person more than being shoved in the wrong pigeon hole.

;)

Tell you what. You tell me what you want, and I "MIGHT" give you what you want... or I "MIGHT" not. :D

LOL! Deal...

Godiva.

There we go.

That should do it.

Godiva is the answer to most of life's troubles and makes the Whack-a-Chicky/Sneezy days a whole lot more bearable.

Awww Stringer... where you going?? We need our Annie-Oakley-esque protector! :)

Yeah right... K...

Somehow I had a feeling like I joined a conversation that was continuing and now one told me,. but again, I'm applying for more power, getting tired of not being the brightest bulb. Haha;)

EDIT: And seriously I need to get back to straightening up my garage......anyway....later

Hm. Deal.

How about...

If you're ever in my neck of the woods, we can go to lenox and you can have whatever you'd like.

Tell me about whack-a-chicky/sneezy day... man, it's not even Friday...

Awww Stringer... where you going?? We need our Annie-Oakley-esque protector! :)

Nooooooooooooo... see I am not the only one... Start="Annie Oakley"...

Yeah right........K.......

Blame it on Alty :) She started it.

Have fun in the garage! :)

Alriiiight! Now THAT is an awesome reward. A raincheck for "whatever you'd like"... Sneezy, you do know how to make a girl happy! ;)

Synn actually came up with the whack-a-chicky thing... she's da' bomb... I provided the mental picture, she supplied the witty theme.

Yes, but its almost the weekend - and just look at that gorgeous weather out there!

Hmm... now, reading over my previous post, that whole "you know how to make a girl happy" could be easily misconstrued...

;) easily...

(Sheesh... and this is WITHOUT coffee!)

Blame it on Alty :) She started it.

Have fun in the garage! :)

K... I will... thanks... once I get started, it can be... well not fun... but.

:D when you're done, you can come clean out my patio closet - all my Christmas stuff is in there... and I heard a crash yesterday...

I like things organized and in their place, always. And this garage has gotten so bad and to cap it off, that's what I'm doing first; putting all the 2007 Christmas décor up on the 12 foot high shelves (that I built, I might add). I am :o :o :o :o

Niiiice...

Shelves... ooo... I need shelves. Book shelves, to be exact. Too many books, not enough space. Too many Civil War books, actually, and those things are NOT lightweight! :)

I've packed away most of my books and put them in storage... I only have 2 bookshelves with books I like to read, medical journals, surgical manuals, and my math textbooks.

... oh yeah, and a glass jar with a cow's heart in it.

Wait wait wait, stop right there, I know where this is going and I will call Marta if you get up on that ladder!! :mad:
Don't you dare, you make sure you find someone to do it for you like your son or something!

A glass jar with a cows heart, eh? Interesting...

I have a piece of the Great Wall on my bookshelf...

It dropped... really... ;)

:eek:

I'm off to the gym all.

Have a good'un

You too... have fun!

Cows heart and a piece of the Great Wall... hmmmmmmm

Lol... I'm actually quite a nerd... my "prized" bookshelf.. the one you see when you enter my living room is full of Civil War books, the classics, Shakespeare, Dumas, etc. and a stack of my pride-and-joy's... my prized book is a second edition Uncle Tom's Cabin... ooo.. . and a first edition English translation of War and Peace... :)

Yup, the Great Wall... that's a story... :)

I love your style HC, I really do, and would love to hear your story as well! Interesting, very interesting:)

I'm going to one-up you on the nerd thing.

In my bathroom reading basket, I currently have the book "Surgical Recall"... it's a surgical manual.

Sent via my BBerry

My take on books, the older the better... especially if they have pretty gold writing on the spines. :)

Ahh... my Great Wall story... lol... let me find a pic... just a sec...

LOL! Sneezy, you rule! :)

Hey all. I have 4 book shelves filled with books and every year I pick the ones I can live without only to be replaced by ones that I must have. I donate allot of books to the Cross Cancer Hospital, they've pretty much started a library for the patients, it's great.

Okay, since I left HC has apparently sprung a leak. Ssssssssssssss.

Sneezy is eating real food. :)

Stringer is confused. ;)

Starby is Starby (love you dear).

Synn is at home.

And you are all having a blast. Good.

Oh, HC, this blame Alty she started it thing, you've been busted baby. ;)

Sneezy the fact that you have a basket in your bathroom let alone a dorky doc book, is pretty nerdy... LOL
NOt bad though!:):):)

I always read in the bathroom, it's the only time I get any privacy.

Hi Starty.

I have always wanted a library wall and a glass cage animal/snake/lizard/spider wall... LOL
Good for you Alty, I do the same and find myself buying books even if I never get a moments peace to read one of them! I am in love with books...

Wait wait wait, stop right there, I know where this is going and I will call Marta if you get up on that ladder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:
Don't you dare, you make sure you find someone to do it for you like your son or something!

She is ShOpInGggggggggg~~~~~~~~ haha. Got me and I have been up and down about 30 times, and you are right once the ladder moved and fear set in. But Me Man... I survived...

Actually it is only times like this that I can seem to get anything accomplished, when I am by myself and the phones aren't ringing off the hook...

... sorry Start... :o again...

EDIT: ya love me don't cha...come on, right????????? I know, I know, I know......

See the picture? About 20 steps up (where the photographer was standing) we all had a beautiful picnic. It was absolutely lovely.

Anyway... We were sitting there and I looked over in the corner by the watchtower... there was this huge part of the wall that had fallen off. It was just sitting there. I went over, picked it up, and was in complete, total awe. Well... the guy with the hat? Yeah.. he was rather hyper... he was running (yes, running) down the steps... and knocked into me... sent the beautiful piece of the Great Wall flying...

When it landed, it smashed into hundreds of tiny pieces... one just happened to end up in my backpack... :o

That's my story... the next pic is the pic of the watch tower where we ate lunch (the top one)... it was breathtaking.

EDIT:: I'm the one in the braids :) and it's the guy in the cowboy hat

Books are the best. I love almost anything, except romance novels, kiss, kiss, hug, hug, I hate you, I love you, oooh, not for me. I love murder mysteries, and medical novels, not medical journals Sneezy, novels. Robin Cook is one of my favorite authors.

The FAAAAAAR right tower... :)

I always read in the bathroom, it's the only time I get any privacy.

Hi Starty.

Ask Sneez... "it is not good to read in the bathroom." :o

HC, wow, great pictures, and great story.

Stringer, I know, and the ring around the butt is not good. ;)

LOL!! Annnnd on that note... I believe its time for me to head home and nurse my Beaker Lip.

What a Whack-A-Chicky day...

And all of it without coffee...

(*sigh*)

HC, wow, great pictures, and great story.

Stringer, I know, and the ring around the butt is not good. ;)

That's one reason.:p
