What about you resty?

I'm going to see my folks in IA.

And probably bringing work along with me.

Synn... I passed the baton today... someone needed my bubbles more than me...

shooting range,

Shooting range? Really!! I'll go side by side with you and see who is a better shot!! :p

I betcha I win... Ever shot a 50 cal Desert Eagle?

Oh, yeah, I should give you a lifetime free at my shooting range... Yes, I do own one, and a gun store to go with it. LOL

You mean you passed your WAND!

Oh nooo... my wand is mine... along with my crystal slippers...

But she needed it today... so I graciously let her borrow it :)

J_9 are you serious? Really?

No, I've ever shot a deagle... I currently own a p2000sk... 40 cal.

Yes, I'm serious. Dead Serious. I own Brighton Arms, just do a Google search for it since I shouldn't be advertising. LOL

My favorite though was the 460 Weatherby and the 50 cal sniper rifle.

And these big dudes come in scared of freaking recoil... I weigh 125 and am a recoil junky!!

I'm calling it a night, y'all!

Take care everyone!

(Oh, and J_9... haven't said it lately, but a big woo-hoo and congratulations to you... almost in the single digits!! :D)

Hahaha. That's awesome. About a month ago, I saw a girl... maybe 5'1"... maybe about 90 lbs... shoot off a .45 cal.

... strangely turned me off..

Bye HC! Have fun camping!

Sorry, was on my way home from work, lol.

Yeah, Sneezy, my plans for the weekend include riding with my friend in a car for 45 minutes to videotape her children's theater class doing plays somewhere.

And possibly a 25 mile bike ride to the zoo Saturday, if it's nice out and I feel up to it.

Have fun HC!! Wich I could go along... I miss camping.

Yeah, Sneezy, but you know, us nurses need to protect ourselves in the deep dark night in those parking garages.

Basically I just do it for fun, even though we own the shop, I don't carry... I have pepper spray. We just all like to get together every now and then and do some target shooting.

You should check out our range though, it is top notch.

Oh, and lets not forget tonight... I'm riding my bike a mile and a half to meet some frieneds at the park, then we're coming back to my place for game night.

Is it naked dart night again already?

You laugh... had a friend in college who had an older friend who was half of a swinger couple whod apparently play strip darts.

Maybe its just me, but I'm willing to strip for a lot of things... but not when pointy projectiles are being tossed about, probably by people drinking...

But I'm a prude like that

I'm with you kp... I'm also against cooking naked.

Hi all!

I'm here for ten minutes, then Survivor is on.

I had a heck of a day. I left for my appointment at 1:30, address in hand, directions that I got off the internet, ready, willing and able, also in pain. Hubby is driving, we knew where abouts the address was, we get there and it's a residential street, we're in the burbs, no eye doctor, what the heck? I try calling the doctors office to make sure I have the right address, no answer. I call the lasik clinic (they're the ones who set me up with the appointment) they tell me it's at the Royal Alex hospital, 1/2 hour drive from where we ended up. We go to The Royal Alex, search for parking for 20 minutes, finally find the eye clinic, at this point it's 2:45, my appointment was at 2:10. I tell the receptionist that I'm late but that I didn't have the right address. She looks up the doctor I'm supposed to see, turns to me and says, she's not at the hospital today, she's at her office. I ask, where is that?

27311- Hughes Road (which when told the address is the way I spelled it) actual address
27311- Hewes Road

Both address exist, one is on the north side of Edmonton, the other on the south. BIG difference!

The receptionist called the doctor, told her what had happened, said that I was on my way and in allot of pain, and was told, "to bad, she's already over a 1/2 hour late, I'm not willing to wait for her, she can call to make a new appointment and she'll be charged $25 for missing this one." AHHHHHHH!

So, long story short, I'm still in pain and I won't be able to get an appointment until next week. I'm MAD!!

Sorry for the rant. And I've got to run. Survivor is on. Back in an hour. :)

Aww... poor alty.

You should lay into the doctor for not specifying which street... they've had to have people to that in the past.

That s*cks... that doctor was neither nice, accommodating OR friendly. Actually she sounded a little condescending... sorry Alty

Stringer

Alty. Kick that doctor's @ss to the curb... what the hell?. that's complete bs.

... I'm spending my night trying to get a 13 year old kid to NOT take prescription meds he/she found around the house.

...

Aww... I'm sorry sneezy. Damn kids...

.. luckily, it wasn't prescription meds. They just spelled acetaminophen (tylenol) wrong and somehow got acemetacin (a prescription medication) perfectly.

Ace Medicine? Heh, I love the corporate world.

All right sneezy, you're dealing with people a lot.

Doesn't it just make you mad when people won't fess up to anything? A guy called today because Quickbooks won't work on his laptop anymore... it just tries to install every time he opens it. He had a problem with logging in a few weeks ago, too, which I fixed.

Now, I don't work for this company... they're a client. I've never been there, it's not in the same city... I just help them over the phone, and I can log into the server remotely, but that's about it.

Both times, it was just some random problem... somthing went wrong with the program. Corrupt files when he couldn't login, and some settings missing for quickbooks. He asks me "Well how could this happen?"

Do people do that to you, too? I mean... you weren't there, you have no idea what this person has been doing. If they got hurt or something screws up in their body, do they always ask you the reason it happened?

I end up just saying it could have been any number of things... power fluctuations from the battery make the hard drive write bad files, bad data from a network connection, closing a program down improperly... whatever.

And, of course, when people have 2 problems in the span of 1 month, they don't believe that it's anything they could have done... it's been running fine for the past year. How could it just suddenly stop?

Grr...

Sounds like all of us are having a bad day.

Thanks for letting me vent, and for backing me up. Unfortunately, I don't have the choice to get rid of this doctor, unless I can get referred to a different specialist by another doctor, which could take a long time. I'm going to make the appointment, and then give her a piece of my mind (after she fixes my eye). That was ridiculous and very frustrating, and here I sit, still in pain with no relief in sight (sight, hee, hee, I've still got my sense of humor, for now) ;)

How is everyone doing? I saw all the plans you guys have for the weekend, it sounds great. I don't have any major plans for the weekend, just cleaning, resting the eyes and playing with the kidlets. :)

Oh alty... thats terrible. I mean, I found that to be pretty much one of the most hilarious puns ever, and I'm a real sucker for bad puns. You should be ashamed... lol.


Aaaaand speaking of bad puns: My favorite joke, to make the day better!

So, there's these two goldfish in a tank. One of them turns to the other and says - "Do you know how to drive this thing?"

:)

Resty... if I had a dime for every time someone on this forum (not counting those at school) asks those questions...

My favorites are...

"Can I be pregnant?"

"These are my symptoms: (names some generic symptoms like coughing, fever, nausea)...what's wrong with me?"

Alty: I just finished my math hw!

I was supposed to go pool-halling... but it seems like those plans are out the window. I'm going home and probably going to sleep.

Oooh, pool halling sounds fun! I haven't done that in a long while.

We used to go 2-4 times a week, me my friend and my old roomie. The he decided to become a drug addict. And a drug dealer. And grow pot in his closet in our apartment. Just three reasons I kicked him out.

Perhaps that shall become my Saturday activity, instead of the zoo. Or both.

I forgot to mention in my weekend plans, I'm going to see "The Tempest" at the high school I went to tomorrow. My friend's brother, who is pretty much as awesome as my friend, is in it.

Hee, hee, love the joke Resty, cute. :)

Ah Sneezy, not pool, that sucks, I'd go with you if I could, I love pool, and I kick butt. :)

I love the pregnancy questions too. I'm always tempted to say "pee on your screen and I'll tell you if you're pregnant."

My dimwit cousin (love her to death, really, but she doesn't have the brains god gave a goat) asked me the other day how effective condoms were in preventing pregnancy. I told her that no birth control is 100%, only abstinence is. She said "Where can I find this abstinence stuff, do I need a prescription?" Ahhhhh, I can't handle stupid, I really can't, but I did giggle later, until I realized that this kid is having sex, then I stopped laughing, not so funny after all. Sigh.

Are you sure she wasn't just being funny? Because if I were a woman, I would say that and think it was hilarious. Actually, it would probably be more like "Abstinence? Hmm...is that a pill or a cream?"

Edit: I guess I wouldn't have to be a woman, now that I think about it. Damn you, sexism!

... how... old... is she?

She's 20, and believe me, she wasn't joking. Like I said, I love her lots, raised her for the first 2 years of her life, even though I was only 16 when she was born. But, she was holding the door when God was passing out the brains. It's sad, really sad.

... she cute?

SNEEZY! Yes, she's cute, actually she's gorgeous.

Not to boast, but she looks allot like I did when I was her age, it's scary. No brains and beautiful, not a good combo.

... hm.

... she single?

SNEEZY! What am I going to do with you?

Nope, she's not single, but I'm sure it won't last long. I really like the guy she's dating, but he's very ambitious, very intelligent and very good looking. She is lazy, not very bright and good looking. Sooner or later I think he'll get bored with her. Oh, she's also very clingy and needy, all in all, not someone I would set up with a friend. You can do better Sneezy, trust me. :)

Wow... point taken.

Aw Sneezy, it's for your own good, really.

You are a bright young man with a great future ahead of you, you don't need a lead weight tied to your ankle.

Stick with HC, smart, pretty, ambitious, outgoing, in other words, perfect! :)

Oh and notice I said that I wouldn't set a friend up with my cousin. That was my way of letting you know that I consider you a friend. Okay, sappy moment, hug. :)

Hugs.

I appreciate that. It seems as if I have multiple aunts here (you, starby, wonderchick) to constantly look out for me. I feel loved. :)

To true.

Hey DMC, we are so hijacking this thread. Join me in Sneezy's kleenex box and we can chat some more.

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/lounge/sneezys-kleenex-box-207202.html


Cool, now I'm Run DMC.

You are loved sweetie. And as an honorary Aunt I feel the need to protect you, so don't get mad when I do, it's for your own good, one day you'll thank me. Tough love. ;)

And know that I would have absolutely no problem setting you up with someone that I thought was worthy of you, not a moments hesitation. :)

Hey dbc.

... where's resty?

Cool, now I'm Run DMC.

I love it. From now on you are Run DMC, sad that you remember them. ;)

Welcome DMC. Sneezy runs this place, it's our third location, we love to gab.

It's Trickay, how is it B, it's tri tri tri tri here we go. It's tricky to rock o rhyme to rock o rhyme that's right on time it's trickay.

hey dbc.

...where's resty?

Looks like he left without saying goodbye. Naughty kid, 100 lashes for Resty. ;) :p :D

DBC, I feel young again. Go Run DMC, they rock! Oooh, I jumped up and I think I broke my hip (kidding). :)

I met this little girlie, her hair was kind of curly
Went to her house and bust her out, I had to leave real early
These girls are really sleazy, all they just say is please me
Or spend some time and rock a rhyme, I said It's not that easy

Woot, enough rockin and rhymin for tonight. If you liked it, I'm here all week

You are 19 going on 30, to cute. ;)

So DBC, what are your plans for the weekend? Anything exciting? Remember, I'm living vicariously through all you younguns, so make it good. :)

By the way Sneezy, what's with the angry kitten, what happened to Lily?

Lol. Yea, I'm going to the club tomorrow night. Don't ask how I'm getting in.

;)

I don't know... just felt like a change, I guess.

This weekend... shooting range, dinner plans, might go to a martini night at the local museum... and studying

Ah, I remember those days. One nice thing about living in Canada, the legal drinking age where I live is 18, don't you wish you could visit? :)

Really!! I could take a drive up there, I live in New York.

I wouldn't suppose there's a city similar to Las Vegas in Canada.

Martini night, wow, sounds chic. My life is sooooo boring compared to all of yours. I guess I've been there done that. I'd feel pretty silly going to a club now.

My friend got married last year and had her stagette at a club. This guy comes up to me, grabs my butt and whispers in my ear "Baby, I could make all your dreams come true." I laughed, turned to him and whispered "Honey, I'd kill you, believe me, I'm your worst nightmare." I thought that would make him run, but nope, he wanted me to prove it. Finally had to flash the wedding ring. Yikes, I can't imagine doing that every weekend.

I wouldn't suppose there's a city similar to Las Vegas in Canada.

Nope, but you can find tons of trouble in Edmonton. We do have casinos and the like, and the gambling age is also 18. What have I done, I'm contributing to the delinquancy of a, wait a minute, you're 19, you're no minor, never mind, come on over. ;)

Viva Las... Edmonton I guess.

It's a bit of a drive from New York though. Better fly. Flap, flap, flap those wings. ;)

Hey guys I've got to go, it's getting late and I have a long day tomorrow, not to mention that my eyes are killing me.

You boys be good while I'm gone, remember, I'm always watching, you can run but you can't hide. :cool:

I'll talk to you all tomorrow, take care and good night.

Alty out. :)

Really, well could you tell me what crazy position I was in last night.



You know what, forget what I just said, good night.

Morning all...

ALTY! I would have SO staged a sit in... wow... I'm SO sorry about your nutso doctor! That's beyond wrong.

Sheesh...

Oh, camping is tonight y'all. Woke up this morning and my first thought was... "urgh... sleeping on the ground... warm, satiny bed... *sigh*..." smelt the coffee, next thought, "YESSSS!!! Sleeping on the ground... sleeping bag!... woo-hoo!"

Coffee. It makes all the difference.

Sneezy, like the new pic!

Looks like he left without saying goodbye. Naughty kid, 100 lashes for Resty. ;) :p :D
Aww... I was watching Scrubs from my bed and I fell asleep. :(

I fell asleep during Lost last night.

That's how tired I was.

Morning guys! :) I was out like a light early last night too...

I was out about 1AM... not exactly early, but not too bad, lol

Wow... in one respect, that is very early resty... :)

Aww... one of the guys I work with just brought me some of his homemade French Onion Soup. Its just like my Dad used to make... always makes me teary and sentimental. :)

He's a sweetie.

Awesome. I brought in no bake cookies a couple weeks ago... I make the best ones ever, but since I know what goes into a no bake cookie... it makes my heart want to stop beating, lol.

So where are y ou going camping this weekend? We used to go to a campground at the lake with my grandparents and stay in their trailer.

One of the guys owns a "back 40" of woods... we're just headed out there. Should be fun. :)

That is, if the thunderstorms don't come... I'm not opposed to a light rain while camping, but Day After Tomorrow stuff is a little bit daunting...

Yeah, we're supposed to have some severe storms here tonight, so that would get them to you around middle of the night or morning.

Awww... J_9... that makes me sad...

Rah...

Wondering what that is going to mean for camping... hmm...

It's going to mean that 'Roughing it' will earn it's title this weekend :)

It really depends on what it does crossing over the Mississippi... LOL, I can forewarn you about upcoming weather like a weatherman/woman.

Many times it just breaks up coming over the Mighty Mississip... It also depends on what direction it is heading. Hopefully we won't get ANY, we are way too wet already.

LOL!. thank you Resty, I.E. captain obvious! ;)

We usually get the leftovers from Chicago, but it's amplified over all the humidity while it crosses lake Michigan. Lately, though, everything has been coming up from around Kentucky and circling the oppisite direction... it's been nice and dry, and warm.

LOL!... thank you Resty, I.E., captain obvious! ;)
Hey, that's Charcoal Knight, to you, Princess :)

I agree, J_9... its been wet around here too. Beautiful lately, but we're already well over the normal rain allowance...

Lake Michigan... Resty, you always take me back to my childhood... I love it! :)

Lake Michigan is Beautiful... My kids got to finally experience it last summer...

I remember spending senior skip day at Lake Michigan. Tunnel Park I do believe.

Sadly, I left MI after 5th grade... didn't get to experience a skip day at Tunnel Park... but MANY a day at Greenfield Village! Still love that place.

Lol, I love the holland state park, I don't know that I've been to tunnel park. I know iv'e driven by quite a few times... when I did cable, I worked in holland every now and then.

I don't think I was actually gone on skip day... I'm pretty sure that was the day of the AP exam for my AP Calculus class. Everyone who didn't want to take the exam got to play Pretty Pretty princess with the teacher. I heard that he won... it was a sad, sad day for my calculus.

Duck Lake was by far my favorite beach though. It has the big sand dunes and very few people.

I remember camping up in Muskegon many years ago (can't remember the name of the park)... My husband (boyfriend then) was cooking bacon and eggs over the campfire, and we were tuning in the radio... could only get Milwaukee radio stations for some reason and the report of Jeffrey Dahlmer came on. Needless to say, we dumped the bacon and eggs in the campfire. LOL

Urgh... I'm going to pray that I don't think about that tomorrow morning when I pop my head out of my tent to the luscious smell of eggs and bacon... ;)

Lol, you're both too funny.

J, I've never been to duck Lake either! I passed a sign for it about a million times on my way from Allegan to Gobles, yet again to install cable... worked all over the freakin SW Mich area. Every time I drove by the sign I would laugha little... Duck Lake. Quack Quack.

OHG, HC, the storms may be over before you go camping. The thunder just started here, so give it a couple of hours to reach you if it's going in that direction.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I take that back. Apparently there are two lakes called Duck Lake in SW Michigan. One is by lansing, and is huge. That's probably the one you're talking about.

The other one is like... straight west, lol. Past US131 and just past M40.

OHG, HC, the storms may be over before you go camping. The thunder just started here, so give it a couple of hours to reach you if it's going in that direction.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.

Thanks! Hopefully it will be gone by this evening... we'll see. A little rain never hurt anyone, but TN thunderstorms... that's a different story! :)

It's been raining here for 3 days.

We need it though.

What we do NOT need, though, is the snow it's turning into tonight.

Rah. So excited about my drive now.

And my god, I am going crazy with my job.

Someone give me coffee and chocolate and a nap, okay?

We had a tornado when it first got warm out, lol. And the NWS didn't even issue a warning... I think we MAY have had a watch. It caught them off guard.

I remember hearing something about that. My Mom lives in Cedar Springs, just north of GR.

Synn, Just make yourself one of my famous signs...

NO COFFEE
NO WORKEE

Then make a fort. A big one. Don't come out until they agree to your terms. Chocolate, coffee, nap. That's it. Good luck.

I don't think I'd keep my job if I did that :(

We all can dream, can't we? :D

Darn lack of a transporter... :(

Synn, I have nutella, I am sending it to you with my mind, is it there?

Hi all, how are you this fine Friday? The kids have the day off school, teachers are meeting to talk about goodness knows what. The snow is still here, the snow fort is still standing and camping is at least a good month or more away.

My favorite place to camp, Penticton, British Columbia. Beach, sand, sun and mountains, you can't go wrong. We've been going there since I was 4 years old, and we plan on going again this year, if we can afford it. Next year we're planning to go to Germany, I miss my relatives and Germany. I can't wait.

Ooo... send me some Nutella, too! :) I adore that stuff. I had never tried it until I found it in an import store in China... go figure! It was like Heaven had come to Beijing! :)

Love nutella, nutella is heaven in a bottle, it really is. I sneak a spoonful once in a while, but the kids caught me at it yesterday so I had to share. Sigh, I need to buy three bottles at a time. ;)

Yours, mine, and ours, eh? :D

All right... I've had this question for a LONG time, but never actually asked...

What IS the fascination with Sanskrit?? I mean, really? I guess I just don't get it... lol...

Ok, that was my rant. Pretty measely, huh? Give me a bit... its Friday afternoon... boss will undoubtedly throw a wrench in my Princess of Positivity-ness :)

Hee, hee, I've seen allot about translating sanskrit on this site, I don't get it either. What's the fascination? To each their own I guess.

Thumper is once again trying to dig a hole to China, funny bunny. :)

He probably heard HC talking about nutella in China and wants some :)

Giggle, good one Resty.

Thumper, do you want Nutella? Hay? Rabbit kibble? A hug? Oooooh, it's a hug he wants. Happy to oblige. Not many things beat a bunny hug. :)

You know... every time you mention Thumper, I get these happy memories of being a kid at my Grandparents house.

Every summer, from the time I was six to about 13, I spent two weeks with my grandparents in Indianapolis... all by myself. My parents put me on a plane in Detroit, half hour later, my Grandma and Papa picked me up in Indy. Two glorious weeks at the Club, by the pool, limitless hot dogs and bomb pops with Papa's club account number, and "making friends" by the slide. It was great...

Every summer, one of the highlights was Thumper. He was this little wild brown bunny that lived in their backyard... I always thought that he was a bunny blessed with the gift of longevity, lasting years and years, but as I grew up, I realized that there were many Thumpers... lol...

The Easter Bunny's name is Thumper, in case you were wondering.

*sigh* The good ol' days of childhood... even today, I see a bunny and he's automatically Thumper.

Hi All!! :) How's everyone??

I haven't read back yet... sooo, Alty?. how did your peeper appt go?

Chicky, I thought you had today off and leaving to go camping!. but I assume you are leaving AFTER work.

Everyone else?. I think I saw something about a lake with ducks! Quack quack...

Don't mind me... I'm just a little off because crazy neighbor people showed up again this morn... I need to go hide with "M" in the corner so they don't see me! Eeeekkkk! ;)

Wow... you need to post a sign...

Coffee before 10 AM for home owners only.

:D

Yes, I'm leaving after work... hoping the rain holds off...

I just posted a new question in movies, guys, check it out! :)

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/movies/how-many-movie-quotes-do-you-not-know-209503.html

Post the link HC, I'll check it out.

Hey Starby, read back to find out about the doctors appointment. I don't want to rehash, it will just make me angry all over again. :(

How are you Starby, any exciting plans for the weekend? :)

Egad, is it sad that I recognize all of those? :)

Hey all, my cousin joined the site, the one that's going through a divorce. I'm so glad that she came here for advice, I hope she gets some good legal advice, things are starting to get ugly between her and soon to be ex-hubby. She's going through h@ll, it's not fair.

:) that's actually pretty cool!

Glad your cousin joined. I'm sure she'll get good advice.

I'm sure she will too. She's in a bad place right now, her hubby is being a big time jerk. She's feeling pretty lost right now, and I don't know what to do for her. All I can do is listen and try to make her smile. I feel so bad for her, no one should have to go through this. Sad.

Okay, happy conversation starts now. Someone tell me a joke or something, I need it.

I'll read back Alty. Are you all right though? I need to run for awhile, but just wanted to check in because I saw that your eyes were hurting so bad yesterday. We'll talk more when I have more time to sit and catch up.

I think I'll take Chicky advice and put up a sign on my door. Why do crazy people seem to like me so much?? LOL! Is it because they think I'm crazy too?. or do I calm down their craziness? Hahaha! Whichever it is... they throw my whole day off!

I read the movie quotes Chicky, now I'm feeling old! I got a lot of them... but the ones that I knew dead on, were all the oldies. Bogart, Connery... all of those sexy men ::hehe::
I have a bunch of old movie songs in my head now... and even though not from a movie... I really want to hear the song "key largo" by Bertie Higgins... ::humming::

Here you go Alty...

In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed because of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how?. )

On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (well... duh, a bit late, huh)!

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." (... and you thought?. )

On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and... I'm taking this because?. )

Oh, and Alty... exciting plans?? exciting plans?. uhhhmmmm... decribe this event? I can't remember what that means?. LOL

LOLOL!! (one more from my list above:)

I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one: On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."

That's great, LOVE IT, made me laugh so hard I actually had coffee coming out of my nose. Okay, now I have to clean my keyboard and monitor, but it was so worth it. :)

Thanks HC. :)

:) anytime, Alty!

Chicky... my hair dryer warns me not to use it in the shower too! Well c'mon... why not wash and dry at the same time?

Starby, you could come here this weekend and help me clean. How about it, is that a good offer or what. I'll buy beer! :)

Beer?? Will drive for beer! Hehe. Well if we weren't getting a mixture of snow AGAIN, and freezing rain... that would be cool. However, I don't clean on wkds... sorry! LOL

You should all just come camping with me! You know you want to! :)

HC, can I bring my tent trailer, I don't do tents. ;)

Why not... :) Come on down! :D

I gotsa great big motorhome that I can steal from my parents! They won't even know it's gone Alty! Camping trip!. wooohooo!!

I will be back a little later... need food! I'll get camping gear while I'm out k?. and beer... lotsa lotsa beer! What would you like Chicky?. I can bring Nanimo bars! (you probably haven't a clue what those are--it's a Canuck thing) Yummmyyy!

Road trip/Camping trip... yeah... I could get into that. :)

Lol... nope, no idea.

Just make sure you BYOC - bring your own coffee :)

I'd love to, even if it rains, it's better than snow. Yucky snow.

I've got to run for a bit all, my lasik appointment is at 4:30pm I've still got to shower, and get all dolled up. Hopefully they can do something about this pain in my eye. Arrrr! Rah!

I'll be back later. If I miss you HC, have a wonderful weekend, may it be warm and sunny. Don't forget the coffee!

Bye for now all.

Oh you would loooove Nanaimo bars... a little bit like S'mores! And yes... lotsa lotsa coffee too... we might need that in the morn after the beers! :D

Will drive for beer!
This made me laugh.

Sorry Chicky!. we don't all mean to leave you all alone at once... but I really have to run too! If we don't find you in the campground... we will be the ones hootin and hollerin!. keepin the whole campground awake at midnite!

I may be back before you leave to get directions k? ;)

All right! :) Just look for the BIG FIRE :) That will be us...

this made me laugh.

Will drive for beer, will do backflips for beer, will wear a red dress and a mustache for beer... HA... you name it... I'll do it for beer!

Uhmmm... I just set myself up really bad didn't I?! LOL!

LMAO... gotta go while I still can! ;)

Uhmmm...I just set myself up really bad didn't I??!! LOL!!

Backflips in a red dress might work, but the mustache icks me out.

You should come visit me, KP.

No mustache, I promise ;)

You should come visit me, KP.

No mustache, I promise ;)

But whips and handcuffs may be possible. :p

POSSIBLE??

Probable is a better word here.

Bring your wife. WE'll have a few drinks and have fun.

Aw man, I'm getting jealous!

=)

Oops, I guess I put my foot in it and started something here... LOL! Behave yourselves you kids! ;)

WHOA I just got up again.

.. this needs to stop.

I've been taking in far less calories than I need... and I can't make it past 3pm. Oh man... I'm heading to the gym now.. then dinner... then I guess I'm out for the night.

Be good everyone! Keep the kleenex box clean!

Hey Sneezy... sleeping is good for you... lol.

15 minutes and I'm off for camping! Woo-hoo! Lets hope the rain holds off...

Camping should be fun J... have a good weekend :)

M! Hey you!! How you been?

Yes, can't wait!

Oooh have fun HC! I'm jealous!

Trading in my stilettos for my L.L. Beans! :D

M!! Hey you!!! How you been?

Yes, can't wait!

Been good thanks , we seem to miss each other with the time zone thing though.

Darn time zone thingy.

So you think Mae West fits me, huh? I think I like that! ;)

The quote, that is... LOL! :)

Yes definitely LOL , your sweet but you also have that naughty rascal in you :)

::blushes::

LOL! Sweet and sassy... got to keep all y'all guessing! ;)

Its still absolutely gorgeous outside - about 80 degrees, sun shining, perfect for camping... lets hope it stays that way!


oooh have fun HC! I'm jealous!

You know where to find me, Sneezy... come on down!

Up... come on up! :)

Well boys... time for me to sign out...

Have great weekends! :) Talk to you on the other side...

Night!

See you "J" :)

Hey all, I missed all the fun again.

Synn with her whips and handcuffs, J, telling us about her whips and handcuffs, and KP grinning like the cat that swallowed the canary. I miss all the good stuff. Sad.

How is everyone, is anyone here?

Hey alty... I'm only here for a second... I have a friend over right now, and we're just waiting around before we go to a party... she's... walking around my room sniffing things.. it's a bit weird.

How's your night?

My night. Pretty good, I have company too, he isn't sniffing around the place though, hey, get away from that, the bunnies don't like to be sniffed, jeesh, I guess I was wrong. ;)

The kids are outside playing, I am inside drinking, it's all good. Planning on watching a movie and having some nutella (are you jealous?) wish I could come with you to the party, I haven't been to a party since, jeese when was that? Yikes, old age sucks.

Have a great time tonight, remember, don't drink and drive, and women are naughty when drunk, so watch out! Don't do anything I wouldn't do, which leaves you allot of leeway (giggle) ;)

Heh. Yeah... actually, she's a friend of my ex... and.. it's a definite problem. But I... yeah.

I'm back from the play! My friend's brother was a fish monster.

A fish monster? What kind of play was it?

Sneezy, be good, I'm watching. As if I'll stop you though, you're young, you should have fun, but be careful, okay?

Resty, how are you?

Everyone gone again when Starby peeks her face into the... door?. do kleenex boxes have doors?. or just a see through plastic opening. Oh nooo... can people see what we do in here? Eeeeekkk!

Hi starby!

Oh, alty... I was good. Tonight was a wash... people just didn't time things right... we spent about a cumulative of about 2 hours just waiting for people to show up... then we decided to go home. I got that "invite" from my friend though, but I graciously turned it down. Home now.. . boo

Sorry Sneeze!. I missed that you replied! It darn near took me a half hr to catch up with everyone's shenanigans here, lol.

Exactly what was your friend sniffing for?. lmao at the mental pic of that! Haha

I have this thing with smells... I have to have things that smell nice.

My room has 2 air fresheners... my car has 2 air fresheners... I usually wear cologne with deodorant.. so my friend was walking around my room sniffing things.

Anywhoooo 313am here. Got to get up at 8am.. . so I think I'm out for the night?

Sorry starby, got to fend for yourself in this box... best wishes.

Oh and Sneezy?. to refer back to several pages ago... I stubbed my toe a few days ago and today my toe hurts... can you tell me why this might be happening?? Could it mean my toe might fall off? Will this mean I may end up being an unbalanced person? HA!

I have this thing with smells...I have to have things that smell nice.

My room has 2 air fresheners...my car has 2 air fresheners...I usually wear cologne with deodorant..so my friend was walking around my room sniffing things.

Cute! I luuvvv nice smelling places! My house is smelling all squeaky clean today... actually I think I may have used too much bleach and burned some nose hairs, lol

G'nite Sneezy... sweet dreams!

Am I bad for writing this? Lol. You can all beat me with a wet noodle if I am, but I just couldn't help myself!

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/psychics/about-life-208008.html

Anybody here? Is everyone sleeping? Hellllloooooo! ;)

Anybody here? Is everyone sleeping? Hellllloooooo! ;)

What!! Where?? What's going On?? Who is yelling?? Wat??

Who is that that woke me up, I was sitting here at my computer peacefully sleeping (with my eyes open). And someone bursts in shouting "Helloooooooooooooooooo!" Why, why, why? I was having a nice dream about reading that book on how men should behave... hehe... :eek:

What chapter are you on Stringer, did you read the part about a french maid costume making all the difference? :)

Sorry I woke you, I was all alone and lonely, needed some human contact. My bad. ;)

[QUOTE=Altenweg]What chapter are you on Stringer, did you read the part about a french maid costume making all the difference? :)

No... not "bad", especially since you definitely now have my undivided attention my dear.
Hmmmmmm... tell me a little more... no, no, no, Stringer shake your head, stand up, walk around, clear your mind... "resistance is not futal (sp)," you can resist! Leave me evil thoughts... leave... Ok, I said what had to be said so, tell me more K?:rolleyes:

Stringer, you are to funny, we make a great team. I plant dirty thoughts in your head and you ask me to write a book about them, hee, hee, love it! :)

I'll leave that chapter up to you and your imagination, I'm sure you can come up with something all on your own, nes pas?

Yeppers... with out a doubt...

That's what I thought.

Besides, I can't fill in the gaps, I get into enough trouble on here as it is, don't need any more. Sneezy's would become ex-rated, I don't think he'd like that, or maybe he would, I'm not sure. ;)

Not something that should be discussed, and besides, I am not that easy... haha... :eek: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Ha, ha, are you sure? ;)

Okay, today has been an open mouth insert foot kind of day. Maybe I should quite while I'm ahead, or behind, not sure. Yikes, sometimes I wonder why I bother. But I always come back for more, don't I? Sigh. Thank god for my friends on this site, otherwise there are times I'd just leave, I can't though, I'd miss all of you too much. :)

Sorry, alty, I got busy doing other stuff last night!

It was The Tempest. He was all... make-upy and stuff. Red eyes, webbed hands, gills. It was pretty creepy.

Ha, ha, are you sure? ;)

Most of us protect each other... not to worry. And we, I would miss you... but in the past I have considered leaving for good. Some people just drive you crazy sometimes, and I have bitten my tongue many, many times, too many. It will probably all be over the day I let loose I guess... :o :( :rolleyes: :eek:

Yikes.

You sound like you had more fun then I did. I watched Silent Hill, blood, guts, goar, part of a story line but no closure, lost, what happened, huh? I'm mad, it was so not worth my time to watch. If I have to sit through people being ripped apart then I at least want a good story behind it, with a definite ending, ahhhh, frustrating.

I'm with you dear, and I would miss you too. Okay, we'll stick it out, deal? Don't sweat the small stuff, when in doubt log out. Bite your tongue until it bleeds and then smile and do it again. We can do this, we are tough. Right? ;)

Yeah, I felt the same way about the new Rambo movie. Too much gore, not enough story.

Yep... that's OK, I forget to log out too sometimes...

I've got to go hon, Marta and I are going to a photo shop to have some pictures redone into large hand painted portraits and then framed to hang in the great room... they do a great job. And I promised I would be ready by 2:30 pm and it is 2:08, got to get moving!

Later,
Stringer

I can take gore if the story is good. I loved "Saw" because I never saw the ending coming, and I usually do. It was one of few movies were I was shocked at the end, sitting on the edge of my seat, saying OMG I can't believe it! It was gory but worth it. Silent Hill, not so much, I feel unfulfilled. :( ;)

Yeah, I felt the same way about the new Rambo movie. Too much gore, not enough story.

Chris, there are some "blockbusters" coming out this summer that should be pretty good;

"Raiders..., Nadia, Ironman, ........."

Stringer

See you Stringer, sounds great, I hope the painted portraits turn out great. Just a little info, I do oil painting, but not people, only landscapes and animals.

Talk to you later dear. :)

I can't wait for IronMan and Speed Racer :)

For me it's Narnia, loved the books as a child, I hope the movies live up to the books. I liked the Lion the Witch and the wardrobe it was good, hope the next one is as well.

G'day kids!. how's everyone?

We have SUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!! :D

Me too, me too! Everything is better in the world today, for now, wait, nope, maybe, darn. ;)

Your timing stinks Starby, I actually have to go now. Things to do, people to torture, you know how it is, a girls work is never done. ;)

I'll be back later, hope to see you then. Should we set a time so that we can actually talk, I miss you sweetie.

Alty out, reluctantly. :(

Hmmm, people to torture!. that sounds fun, LOL

Have a good afternoon Alty! Yes we have been kind of missing each other the last few days haven't we?! We'll meet up later and talk! :)

I should be around this eve... sans crazy neighbors coming to call. Hehe!

Lock your door and turn out the lights, you should be okay. See you later sweetie, stay out of trouble, you don't want to end up like me, trust me on that one, really. :)

Bye Resty, take care of Starby, it's a big job but someone's got to do it, I leave her in your capable hands, okay? ;)

Really, Alty out. Honest. :)

Well I don't think ending up like you would be such a bad deal at all Alty! :D

I'm busy getting the rath of my sharp tongue lastnite... takes awhile to catch up with it all so I can hear what a meanie I am, LOL!

I'll peak in now and then Resty so you can tell Alty that I'm being a good Starby today... maybe... Mwaahahaha!

Rets... y, Starb... y, Alt... y, Chick... y, Sneez... y. String... ER? Friend... (no y?) KP?

I think we need some changes around here.
Stinger=Stingy?
Friend=Friendly?
KP=Capey? (Like a superhero!)

I know J gets in here once and a while... but I have no idea. Maybe Nursey? :) Definitely not Granny, lol.

I wonder who I'm forgetting...

No, not Granny... Unh uh no way!!

Rets, I could come work at Spectrum Butterworth, they offered me quite a good package when I was up there last summer visiting Dad.

Hmmm, would I miss the heat here? NO!!

But can't move hubby's shop up there.

Hi all, I'm back for a bit.

Resty, I call Friend4U, M, just so you know who I'm talking to when I say that. J9 is J, because writing J9 is just way to long. ;)

Lol, alty.

J! I work like, 10 minutes from butterworth! We could totally have an AMHD-Michigan party. Haha.

No way, not Michigan, come to Canada, it's closer, for me. ;)

Canada's lovely in the summer time, not so much in the winter. Come on over, I'll BBQ, BYOB though. ;) :)

I'm game for that, alty! Lol Michigan is almost Canada anyway.

How about a memorial day BBQ? I get out early Friday... I can smell a road trip :)

10 minutes from butterworth huh? I used to live on Michigan and Diamond. Small world huh?

I'm game for that, alty! lol Michigan is almost Canada anyways.

How about a memorial day BBQ? I get out early friday...I can smell a road trip :)

Hee, hee, sure, why not. I'll make my famous hot dogs on the grill, and you can get a taste of Canadian weather, there might still be snow, if you're lucky and I'm not. ;)

Canadian weather is great!! Well, if it's anything like Alaska weather, then I'd love it.

I'm not sure about the weather in Alaska, so I can't say.

Of course it goes without saying that you are invited to the BBQ as well J, bring you kids, they can keep mine busy. ;)

I've got to run for now. Time to throw snowballs at my kids, and then duck and cover. All's fair in love and war, right?

I'll talk to you all later.

Alty out.

Snowballs huh? We're opening our pool this weekend. I wish I remembered what snow looked like. LOL

J, I could send you some, just say the word. :)

Well, time to go kick butt in a snowball fight, those poor kids don't have a snowballs chance in h@ll of winning. Muwhahahah. ;)

10 minutes from butterworth huh? I used to live on Michigan and Diamond. Small world huh?
I work by hall and 131, lol. Live about 20 minutes south, though. Remember the old furniture factory on the corner there? It's office suites now... I work there.

Holy cow, really!! Know where Gilda's Club is?

Canadian weather is great!!! Well, if it's anything like Alaska weather, then I'd love it.


I can't comment on the weather in Alaska either J, but Alty and I (since we live so close) can sure comment on the huge difference between summer and winter for sure. I know in a few months we are going to be B#*ching about the heat!

Last summer was ridiculously hot. I would compare it to the summer weather in Arizona. A dry heat that takes the breath from you when you open your door. I haven't got central air in my small house, but I had to buy an extra window AC, and 2 more fans (in addition to the 3 I had) just to survive it.

I believe the hottest day last summer (where I am) was about 44 degrees Celsius... which translates to about 110 Fahrenheit. I looovvvee summer, but that gets to be a little much for me! ;)

Low 80's weather is perrrrfect!

Well, just back from shopping and ordered the portraits, will get them in two weeks for the wall. We then went to see "The Forbidden Kingdom" not bad, better than I expected, I like Jackie Chan he can be funny.

Stringer

Hi all, anyone here? Are you all in bed? Hellllloooo!

Hello everyone. Is anyone here? Sneezy, I see that you are on line, come say hello. :)

You caught me alty.

Hello!

I'm just reviewing the week's market picks... and setting up picks for next week, while folding laundry. I multi-task like it's my job.

Morning Alty! How are you? Is the sun shining there too? :)

Afternoon Sneezy!

Hi Sneezy, my little market man. ;)

Hey Starby, the sun is shining in this crazy city... :) ;)

Sun is NOT shining here. Rainy. Drizzly. It rained all of yesterday while HBI girl and I were driving around... not just rained, POURED. Yikes.

Sneezy, that's not necessarily a bad thing, HBI and rain, wet shirt and Sneezy, hmmm...

Hey all, check out this thread, I feel so bad for this poor girl, her life makes mine look like a walk in the park;

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/child-teen-health/girl-boy-209454.html

It looks bad... but... for some reason, perhaps due to grammar, I can't take this one seriously.

12 year olds have better grammar than that... and even if she was from a different country...

The sun is shining, in this crazy city too!. and it's not a pity!. and Sneezy?. every now and then it's going to rain!. hehe... anyone care to join in on the chorus with me?

I thought so to at first, but I'm inclined to take it seriously because of the way she tells her story. I hope it's not made up, and I hope it is, because if it isn't then that girl is in for a lifetime of pain and suffering, mentally and physically. Until it's proven to be false I'm going to respond, even though I have no idea what to say to her, not only because she's young but because there's an obvious language barrier and childlike quality that most 12 year olds no longer have. Man I hope you're right Sneezy, because that story is sick and twisted if it's true.

How are you sweetie? How's little Lily? How's HBI girl? ;)

The sun is shining, in this crazy city too!...and it's not a pity!!...and Sneezy?...every now and then it's gonna rain!...hehe...anyone care to join in on the chorus with me?

I'm here for a good time, not a long time, so have a good time, the sun can't shine everyday. Tra la la. ;)

But soon we will be seeing the 'boys in the bright white sports car... wavin their hands in the air... who do they think they are?. and where did they get that car!

Lily's good... she's just sniffing around like always.

HBI... I'm not sure. Continue to get mixed responses. I'm actually a little nervous about asking her to the movies, although I shouldn't be. I've never felt nervous about a girl before in my life... is this how regular guys feel?. because that stinks.

Hee, hee, are we a singing group now? Speaking of which, were's Guy lately, I haven't seen him around in a long time. Hopefully it's because he's out and about doing teen stuff.

lily's good...she's just sniffing around like always.

HBI...I'm not sure. continue to get mixed responses. I'm actually a little nervous about asking her to the movies, although I shouldn't be. I've never felt nervous about a girl before in my life...is this how regular guys feel?...cuz that stinks.

Sometimes nervous is a good sign, does she make your heart go pitter pat or your palms get all sweaty? You shouldn't be nervous, just be yourself and relax honey. Easy for me to say huh, I haven't "dated" in 18 years, yikes.

Has she met Lily? Dogs are a great ice breaker and a great judge of character. :)

She hasn't met lily... in fact, she's allergic to a lot of things.. dogs... cats... pollen... certain types of foods... etc. I strongly doubt lily's a good judge of character... she's a bit of an attention whore.

She doesn't make my heart go pitter... but she makes me think too hard into what I say... how I say it... what I tell her... etc.

For instance, I'm going to ask her to the movies this week, it's about our... 3rd... 4th date or whatnot, and I'm STILL nervous about it.

I guess I have to ask, are you dating her with the hopes that this might turn into something permanent, or is it just for a bit of fun? If it's just for fun, then maybe that's why you're nervous.

Quick story. Before I met my husband I dated a really nice Italian guy, he treated me wonderfully, was super nice and handsome, I thought there might be something there. We had been dating for around 6 months before I invited him to my parents house. He walked in and my poodle Silver ran up and started barking his little head off. My boyfriend turned to Silver, smacked him on the butt and told him to Shut up. I turned to him and said "get out!" That was the end of that.

When hubby came over the first time, he came in the house, went up to Silver, accidentally stepped on his paw, picked him up to cuddle him and say he was sorry and then ended up with a poodle on his lap for the entire visit, that's when I knew he was a keeper.

Just saying. :)

Haha, understood.

Well, if logistics worked out, I would love to have this go somewhere, but we graduate in 2 weeks, she's moving as she has a job up north, while I stay down here for work... so it seems highly unlikely.

Hee, hee, I've got a past life story for every occasion, don't I?

If she's moving then I guess the decision is being made for you. I truly believe in fate, if it's meant to be it will, you just have to wait and see.

As for being nervous, women find that endearing, at least most women do, it shows your sensitivity and makes us feel special, so no worries.:)

Really? I'm not a huge believer of fate... I always believed I made my own luck controlled my own life. Just talked to my roomie about this... I was a bit worried as to calling her next (when... what should I say... etc. *note... I've NEVER been worried about these things before in my life, so this is kind of weird)

He looks at me, replies:... this girl's got you bad...

Well I would agree with your roomie, obviously there's something about her that you have never experienced before, because, like you said, you've never been nervous with other girls. It could just be attraction, it could also be that you are intimidated by her, only you know for sure sweetie.

As for fate and controlling you own life, I believe in both, if that's possible. I do believe that we largely decide what happens in our lives and that those decisions effect our lives either negatively or positively, but I also believe in fate. I once said to hubby that I wish I could go back in time and change some of the decisions I made, I would do things differently. He looked at me and said "Why? Everything you've done has lead you right here, and changing even one thing might mean that you and I would not be together." I thought about it and he's right. Am I making any sense?

Hee, hee, I've got a past life story for every occasion, don't I?

If she's moving then I guess the decision is being made for you. I truly believe in fate, if it's meant to be it will, you just have to wait and see.

LOL, Alty! It's funny how many life stories we all have isn't it? I used to get annoyed when I was young, when the "older" people would say to me... I've got a story for that! Now I'm that "older" person who HAS a story for that... LOL! Funny how that works eh? ;)

I absolutely agree with what your husband said. Could NOT agree with him more.

I often have friends who regret what they did... etc... and I always look at them and say, "...if you hadn't made that choice, you could be a rickshaw driver in beijing for all you know..."

... the butterfly effect... don't underestimate it...

HI STARBY!

It's true, and sad. I actually told me kids the other day that they were lucky that they got to take the bus to school, I had to ride my bike. Yikes, next I'll be saying that I walked to school, 10 miles there, 12 miles back, up hill both ways in 10 feet of snow. Have I become old? Say it isn't so! ;)

Sneezy, that's not necessarily a bad thing, HBI and rain, wet shirt and Sneezy, hmmm...

Hey all, check out this thread, I feel so bad for this poor girl, her life makes mine look like a walk in the park;

https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/child-teen-health/girl-boy-209454.html

Alty, if all that the little girl from the other post is saying is true then that is horrible, disgustingly horrible! And my heart goes out to her. ANY man or boy that does this to a girl or woman deserves the worst our society can deliver to him! One one ever has the right to assert themselves upon another person in this manner.:mad: :mad:

However, maybe it is only me, but I detected that something may not be exactly right here, I too am confused a little. I can't put my finger on it, maybe the grammar, the way it was presented, not sure? I am probably wrong, but usually I can sense these things. It seemed like it was written by someone with more education but trying to "dumb down." I hope I am incorrect... :confused:
Stringer

Thanks Sneezy. I'm glad that he feels that way, because let's face it, I made allot of bad choices when I was younger, allot of them. He's right though, they lead me to him, so something good came out of it. I wouldn't trade him in for the world, Vin Diesel maybe, but not the world. KIDDING! ;)

I hope that I am correct about that girl being a troll...

Hi Sneezy! :)

Yes Alty, you made PERFECT sense with what you said. I agree 100% :D

I just answered that 12 yr old. Like sneezy kind of said... there is definitely something off there. I sure hope it wasn't some kids fooling around thinking that was funny!. grrrrrrr!

Niki is having issues of her own today! Holy crap has she got an attitude or what! Dirty looks are just a flying my way. I don't know what I did... geeezzzz, LOL!

Alty, if all that the little girl from the other post is saying is true then that is horrible, disgustingly horrible! And my heart goes out to her. ANY man or boy that does this to a girl or woman deserves the worst our society can deliver to him! One one ever has the right to assert themselves upon another person in this manner.:mad: :mad:

However, maybe it is only me, but I detected that something may not be exactly right here, I too am confused a little. I can't put my finger on it, maybe the grammar, the way it was presented, not sure? I am probably wrong, but usually I can sense these things. It seemed like it was written by someone with more education but trying to "dumb down." I hope I am incorrect.....:confused:

I agree Stringer... something is just not right there for sure. I actually hope it is a troll just having twisted fun! That would be cruel. But I would rather have that than some little girl that has been hurt like that.

Oh, don't get me started on lily... she was just playing next to me... play play play... then squats, and leaves me 2 messes... then looks at me with sad puppy dog eyes, then RUNS out the door.. . oh that girl's going to get it. No treats for her today.

I agree, and I am skeptical too, but I need to give her the benefit of the doubt, just in case it's true. I can't explain why, I just have to. If she's lying then she's only hurting herself, but if it's the truth then she needs all the help she can get. I hope I'm not having the wool pulled over my eyes, I really do, because this kind of abuse is nothing to lie about, that's why kids are afraid to tell if something bad happens, enough kids lie that the ones telling the truth are sometimes not believed. Maybe that's why I have to believe until proven otherwise, but I do understand what you are saying, because I sense it too.

I was her in allot of ways, not to that degree, but still I went through something that changed my perception of myself and changed my life forever. I will give her advice with a bit of skepticism, because if it turns out she's lying to us then she will have my full wrath to deal with. Wow, Alty, calm down.

Love you Stringer :)

Maybe Lily and Niki should have a time out together! Witholding treats from Nik isn't going to help me though... she is giving me dirty looks and won't take the treat I tried to give her... and she doesn't even want her fave ball! Who knows what her prob is! :rolleyes:

Hm. Did you ignore niki and replace her with someone else for a little bit? Lily gets VERY aggressive when I bring a girl over... even for a movie! If the girl sits down to watch the movie, lily's all over her... she'll put her nose under the girl's leg to try and wedge her out of the couch!

We should get all the dogs together, Indy will put everyone in their place, he's old and wise. Jasper will teach everyone how to get into trouble, that little stinker, and I mean that literally, the gas that comes out of the dog, Phewww!

I've got to run for a bit all, time to play with my rug rats and dogs and other fur babies. Take care my extended family, what would I do without all of you? Don't answer that, I don't want to know, I can't even imagine, nope, not going to think about it! ;)

Later all. Alty out, for now.

I know what you mean Alty. I gave her my advice, with a small hint of disbelief. I would always be there to help a little girl in a situation like that. If she is a troll, I'll be right behind you in your wrath! That's nothing to joke about... that would be plain cruel! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

I agree Stringer...something is just not right there for sure. I actually hope it is a troll just having twisted fun! That would be cruel. But I would rather have that than some little girl that has been hurt like that.

I agree Starby, I agree... a troll would be better than the actual thing.

But even with that (a Troll) what does this say about people like this? What a sick, sick mind that needs one h*ll of a lot of help and quickly. To even be thinking these kind of thoughts... could possibly lead to being or becoming a predator.

Maybe my mind is working overtime, but in either case, this disgusts me at a very deep level.

No, I don't know what she's so pissed about! I put her outside this morn, and when she wants to come in she scratches at the door and I let her in. I didn't hear her scratch, and figured she was basking in the sun, (it's been awhile since she has been able to do that) so I just left her. I let her in and that's when the dirty looks started flying! Maybe she thinks I should have been out playing. We will go out and play ball this afternoon... if she gets over her little hissy fit. LOL!

I agree Starby, I agree........a troll would be better than the actual thing.

Oh I agree with that! Exactly what I was thinking. Either way, that person needs major help! It would take a sick mind to even come up with something so disturbing.

LMAO! I'm watching Blue Collar Comedy with Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy, and they are having a Spa Day! Instead of mud baths, they are having gravy baths, and gravy facials... and sweating out gravy in the sauna. Got to love them Rednecks, LOL~~

OMG... now they are in the pool doing sychronized swimming! What a perty sight that is, hahahaha!

I need to change the subject I guess, I get so p*ss*d off about this sort of thing Starby.

Well, all that bragging I did about Spring finally coming to Chicago last week... well forget it. The last three days have been cloudy, very windy, very humid, and very rainy. With temps in the mid to higher 40's F... I still feel like I am paying off some kind of psychosocial debt to the gods here---that I don't remember incurring!! Very discouraging, very discouraging... and slightly depressing today.

Redneck dictionary word of the day!

Artichoke.

I artichoke that guy that ripped me off at the gas tanks!

Hehe!

Awww Stringer! Alty and I paid half of that debt for you last week, so it shouldn't be too long until it's all pd off! :D

Well it looks like everbody left me ::sniff sniff:: Maybe that's a hint to go have my shower and get out and play some ball with Nik. I'm sure she was waiting for you to give me the hint to get off and get something done today! ;)

Have a good day all!

Cheer up Stringer... the sun will peak out sooner or later. :)

Great! Thank you... cause I am depressed and I need sunshine.

I think I may even go in the sun room and turn on that "sun lamp" that we use for the plants... anything! Or... it hasn't rained in the last couple hours, so maybe I'll get a chance to use my new lawnmower (it's a beauty... he he). Something!! :eek:

So... I am not part of "everybody?' huh?? That's OK, go ahead leave, yep just walk away, but please don't look back at the poor guy that you left standing there with his chin touching his chest. No, don't even try to look closer... nope... just go... I don't want anyone to see that tear... no water on my cheek. I'll just slowly turn and walk away... I might take one short look around to see if you really meant it?? :( :( :(

EDIT: I can only think that with how you handled this... that there is a long list of guys who were left "standing there" in confusion and in shock and awwww! Hee hee... kidding you know... right?

Starby baaaddd! I saw that you went offline! I meant you too String Man! ;) I saw Sneezy was still here, but I thought maybe he got busy!

I always come back to check on my friends! :D
