WooooHooo 500 posts :P

Can't include Admin's as he moved it ;)

Test is over, time to go shopping!!

Buy me a porshe, please, please pretty please??

What color would you like?

Leather interior I am sure!!

Tal, have you joined us here (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/member-discussions/pictures-our-members-43867-3.html#post208421)?

Psst... J_9... pssssssst... I heard the porshe dealership was having a two for one special, could you buy me one as well? :) One more thing, can you have them make me a grill with my name on it... Here I will spell it for you: P I M P M C N A S T Y... thank you

No, because at the moment I am technologically challenged, But a hot red new porche would help speed things up. Don't make me beg! Please, oh, Please, pretty, pretty, PLEASE,PLEASE??

(I may settle for a grill with MY name on it MacGranddaddy)

Come on Tal, join us in the member pictures discussion thread.. Go on.. I know you want to :)

Well Good morning from Malta...
Another rather warm sunny day... 25deg to be precise (not rubbing it in lofl).. sorry :o

I hear someone bought a porshe, I want a porshe, but its pointless having a porsche in Malta, the roads can't support it NO long motor ways like you have there. :(

Oh man, sleep, I need sleep...

Me toooooooooooooo...
Both hubby and I couldn't sleep last night, we were both up at 2 am...
Besides the cats were in play mode, running up and down the hall.. driving me nuts...

Might get an espresso.. anyone want 1?

Sleep... did someone mention sleep. Boy could I use some. This cold is kicking my butt

I'll take an espresso, with a few of those really high calorie blueberry muffins! Meh, I was in bed around 10pm, but I shot up out of a dead sleep thinking my alarm went off. When I looked at the clock, it said 2:12am.

O_O Holidays are coming and so are the shopping crowds, subconcious thing, got to be!

Sleep--Did someone say sleep? I didn't get any--trying to make it on 4 hour of it and I have been at work for 1/2 hour. Going to be a long day. Slight headache.

18 yr old step son argument- must be the age?

I want to sleep--in peace and quiet.

The turkey induced comatose state of delight and utopia isn't getting here fast enough!

Neither is the end of today's work day. I am so excited to have a few days off. When cooking a turkey don't you cook it 1 hour for every 4 pounds

Yes, I am pretty sure that's the way to do it, and the same thing goes for a turkey breast, too.

Can't wait to smell the bird cooking

Indeed, reminds me of that pregnant turkey thread from yesterday:)

Well, I knew the turkey cooking rule of thumb as one pound equals 20 minutes, but you could be right as well, I am not quite sure but that is what I remember...

You can cook?

Oh, hey everyone, I have a few quotes of inspiration:

A chinese prison is safer than a bowl of spinach.

Be gentle to the worm that creates silk.

Ladies, you won't have a chance if he says, "Sorry I'm late, wife borrowed the car."

Made those up last night... was semi-bored... so is anyone defrosting their bird at this very moment?:)

Glad you reminded me... I need to take this bird out freezer... or should I cook a large hen... I haven't had a hen lately... to think about it... I was watching the food channel for some ideas... This Paula cooked this sweet potatoes and coconut and marshmallow entrée... I want to try it... and some chefs were deboning the bird and covering them with stomach lining... that sound good too... and I saw this salad with cornbread and tomatoes salad and cucumber salad... love to experiment with food... after... I write this I am going to the kitchen and get me a large coffee mug... and some dairy creamer and organic sugar in it... excuse me... I need to say raw sugar...

Who is ready for football, turkey and naps tomorrow!!

I know I am after my test on Monday.

I only have to bring the green bean casserole this year!!

Guess what lol... our stove broke down... as well as the burners... my mom is FREAKING out...

She can borrow my stove, I won't be using it tomorrow!!

Thankfully, after a couple of hours of non-stop panic, we found it was just a fuse problem, so thanksgiving has been saved!

Yay! Awesome wizz!

Hey, if anyone wants to know how tempted I am to stuff a cornish hen inside of our bird just to scare my in-laws... Rofl. They love me, because of my sick humor. I know it.:p

Meh, its almost 8am... slept in by accident. The breakfast sausage (for this morning) and our turkey (for a few hours after that) are still frozen. The car won't start, and because I forgot to buy the 'last minutes' before midnight there will be no greenbean casserole (which I happen to love) or mashed potatoes.:confused: The ONE day of the year where important cooking slips my mind.

I'm going back to RickJ's thread, think I might need some of that wine everyone is talking about.:D

J_9 I just saw your location and that was pretty funny, I chuckled. I have had my times like that before, there have been a few books were I needed to lock myself in my own room so I would actually read them. The funny thing about me is the fact that about 98% of all books I read I end up liking, but before I attempt reading them I feel it is a gigantic burden, however the feeling you get when you finish a book is definitely unique. Also, found out today... jabot is a word. Was playing scrabble and someone pulled that out on me, and I was like yeah right. So was everyone else, and I am still convinced my mom had NO idea what she was talking about, but she looked it up and what do you know... it's a word. It's one in the morning right now and saw "American History X" for the first time tonight, and what a great movie that is, I am still chewing it over in my mind. Anyway I hope everyone's turkey day went well, and see you tomorrow... today.

American History X - awesome filmed. Loved it myself.

Has anyone seen V for Vendetta?
That's a great movie.. No. 1 for me ;)

Off to take the kids to see Happy Feet today, no shopping for me on Black Friday!!

I will stay as far away from the stores as possible.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, football and L-Tryptophan naps!!

Welcome to the official start of the Christmas Shopping Season.

My nap was great (the whole 7 minutes of it)! Happy Feet looks adorable! Hope everyone is doing well today, and still feeling full. :)

American History X - awesome filmed. Loved it myself.

Has anyone seen V for Vendetta??
Thats a great movie.. No. 1 for me ;)

I saw it in theatre's it was a very good movie, it really can set you on a mind trip in the beginning when he uses all those words that start with the letter "v"

So true Wizzkid...

Good Morning people...
Tired and moody today..
I HATE MONDAYS :(

Good morning everyone, is everyone still full from last week? I just watched V for Vendetta last night... it's now on my 'Most Watched' list. Through the entire movie V's voice got me, he sounded so familiar but then, he said the word 'Mister' and then I thought "OMG That's Agent Smith! (Hugo Weaving)" Very good, I liked it.

Yes that's him. Mr. Smith from the Matrix.

Awesome movie, right. Its my number 1. of this year.

How was thanksgiving?

Hey Everyone.
Vacation is over... so sad

Good Morning group, Hope everyone had a good holiday and a great weekend. I wore my grandkids out and had 'em crying to stay longer. So if I don't move from this seat all day I hope you understand. 80 degrees for the next two days and then the cold front comes in 25 degrees is the overnight low for the end of the week. That's good snuggling weather, HEHEHE!:D .

Had a good thanksgiving--ate too much. Now I have to urge to eat all the time. How do I stop :eek:

We had SNOW today :eek: Yuck! Suppose to be below "0" this week sometime. OMFG

Crikey...

Our thanksgiving was great, good food, good times. I still have the munchies, too, BIM. Lol.

Our holiday was very nice. Lots of food and time with family.
It was over 50 degrees here all weekend and again today.
It is a heat wave for the end of November. I am loving it!
Snow though next week

I had a good thanksgiving, had a lot of food, really scrumptous, just basically sat back and chilled. I liked to think I shut down my brain for a couple days and that was much needed. Also won around 100 bucks over the weekend, for some local tourney's, nice pocket change lol. Sadly, today was a Monday and it was my early day, no me gusta. One good thing was that my photo teacher said I had really made a huge improvement on my latest prints and said that there wasn't much he could tell me to do different. And although I am not big into photo, I don't own a camera, and I am definitely not the shining star in that class. But I do work hard it, and that is uncharacteristic of me as school comes kind of easy to me. But I put in the time in the dark room and it's nice to see your fruits of labor flourish. Anyway, I hope everyone's weekend went well and that your not suffering from the Monday blues.

Also, only 27 days of Christmas Shopping left...

Also, only 27 days of Christmas Shopping left....


UUUUgh!! :eek: Don't remind me... I need money!! :eek: Somebody please plant me a money tree!!

Rofl, I want a money tree, too. Better yet, I want my family to get along without anything that belongs on a plate to go flying through the air this year ;)

Okay, Houston, we have a problem here.

Anyone ever put their Christmas tree up while listening to the Macarana? OMG, Teens!!

I have been sending Houston problems all DAY! I have most likely racked up a nasty phone bill with the amount of computer talking I have been doing. I have called apple at least 8 times, dell, linksys, and best buy about 5 times. I had a new hardrive put in, mainly because this was a special computer(back up and vintage) and I didn't want to screw it up. And at first the computer wouldn't recognize the hard drive, so then I partioned it, that worked, then it won't recognize the internet. So I restarted it, after like the third restart it worked for a second. But no more. Either way this is becoming a huge hassel and I am literally about to go off on the deep end. Right now I am on the phone holding for geek squad, I hate using them but right now I am in a pickle, I have been holding on for like 5 minutes, and I am growing impatient. I seriously think I am going to curl up into a ball and cry...

Well, I can't help your computer woes, but I can offer sympathy!!

I could fix it if it were flesh and blood, but wires and eerrgg, yuck I hate to think about electricity!! Gimme blood and guts any day!!

Here, I'll play Macarena for you!! :p

Suhweet, no the worst thing is the fact that I do fix computers and I have to resort to asking people questions that know less about the subject than I do...

Well Wizz, I hope this new day finds your computer fixed and running smoothly!

The computer is fine, however the main cord doesn't work, so I had to uproot it. Either way Ill be switching to wireless in less than a week.

Wow that's great being here

Hi all. Just thought I would drop in since I haven't been here in quite awhile. Kids... teething, colds and growth spurts... and that's just the hubby... lol... j/k Anyway, Hope your holidays are all going well and with the minimal amount of stress too... I'll try to drop in again soon.

I believe it is time for Christmas karaoki!!

I hope Tal brings the green and red kool-aid!!

Silver bells...

It's Christmas time in the city!!

Help!! The grandkids are decking my halls with all kinds of... stuff!

Believe it or not, my house, for the first time ever, is sporting TWO christmas trees, yes that's right TWO! Be jealous...

Need gremlins for the trees, I have plenty.

Lol... naw I'm good

I have been bahumbugging this holiday and now you had to go and make me laugh...

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas tree... Oh I don't have a Christmas tree...

Jingle Bells Batman smells...

Oh, sheesh!

Tal, you got the Kool-aid?

Due to it being the holiday season, shouldn't it be egg nog J?

Ah, yes, Wizz, egg nog it is!! Who would like theirs with Rum and a little nutmeg sprinkled on top?

Just nutmeg for me... I don't drink the hard stuff till tal's grandkids go home

Anyone want some chestnuts? They are roasting by an open fire?

Does that even go with egg nog? :rolleyes:

Better question is... WHAT DOESN'T GO WITH EGGNOG!

Ummmmmm,

Tequila?:eek:

Oh dear watch out it's the weekend and J has her Cactus head on ;)

Oh, Ben you know me so well and we are but a big pond away!!

Dang, where did that lemon go?? :confused:

Okay, I will calm down...

Siiiilent Night, Hooooly Night

Better question is... WHAT DOESN'T GO WITH EGGNOG!

A tribe of hungry gremlins. Or a drunk cactus. Or Santa Claus dunked in a pitcher of red kool-aid.

Hey, I am not a drunk cactus. I haven't had tequila in 6 years!! LOL

This is 2006 right?

2006? What happened to the 90's? Never mind, tequila!

Better question is....WHAT DOESN'T GO WITH EGGNOG!


Summer sausage!

What alcohols can you put in eggnog??

Rum and whisky

Is it spiced rum or just regular... Yeah not something I drink a lot of... I prefer my long island iced teas... lol

Good morning every one, any one got coffee for the Gremlin Keeper?

Ooh a lounge, what a cunning way to boost

My

Post

Count.

:D (admin feel free to concatonate :p)

Hey Monkey Boy, nice try on the Tinned meat product, but posts on the member boards have ZERO value ;)

Ps your inbox seems to be full, now I wonder how that happened :o

Well, Cap, the post count is not really why I started The Lounge (yes, this is my baby but The Lounge got too busy so Admin had to open The Lounge 2), but it is a good idea.

Well, everyone about off to final exam today. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I sure will need it.

Myth- I use regular... I love those long Island Ice Teas...

I might need a few LI teas around 11:00 this morning so that I can forget about 9:00.

What is going on J-9?

Take this cup of coffee with you, gaueanteed to wake up the brain cells.

Tuscany, I have my Nursing Final Exam today. Got to get a 64% so that I can go back to school in January.

Thanks Tal, my brain cells need woken up this morning. Did not sleep much last night.

Ohhh J-9 GOOD LUCK!
I am sure you will do just wonderfully!
Let us know how you make out.

Give them a biff and a whop J_9!

Good luck. I'm sure you will do just fine though.

Grades are up!!

I made an 83% when all I needed was a 64%. I went from a possible C this morning to a B this evening.

Who's got the steaks and the drinks!!

http://www.familyhood.com/img/index-congratulations-logo.jpg

WAY TO GO J-9!!!!

J_9 I refuse to partake in color or font editing but my congratulatory message is just as sincere as the others.

Congratulations.

OMG... that is wonderful!

I believe we are suppose to be leaving for... MALTA now that you have taken your test! Hope your bags are packed!! Mine have been for a month now! Hee Hee. I don't get out much!!

OMG, that is right I forgot about that. I now have something to celebrate.

Sheesh, I am so glad it is over. Even though it was relatively easy.

Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly...

Come on, EVERYONE!!

Hark the Herald Angels Hicc...

Shudders don't let him sing or dance PLEASE its frightening...

Congrats J. knew you could do it.

Thanks Myth. I am happy my family here has confidence in me. It really is much harder than I make it look. You know I am just one not to complain.

Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly....

Come on, EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Tis the season to be jolly :) :)

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell, rock

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!!

Best Of Luck ,people
Merry Christmas To All Of You.

TEEE HEEEE I might well have been Millie but she is safely in bed sleeping so I guess we can blame Joshua ;)

The Lounge is still open, but we have had a low census in visitors as of late.

All that pooping can't be good. Especially in a new car.

Hope you aren't getting skimpy with the kool-aid or jello?

Got plenty as no one has been there recently

Hey it might be a echo car and be poop powered

We could patent a poop powered car I think!! It would get great mileage!

Hehehehehe now this could be fun what colour shall we make it?

What a great idea.

Poop colored what else

Baby poop color!!

Janine,

Yellow. That is an awful colour for a car.

Shall we continue the Poop conversation here?

Oh yes yellow as it will stand out a mile ;)

Yellow and Green, OMG. The poop powered car continues on a new journey in the lounge. Lol

It would become renowned for its bright colour and lingering smell tee hee

Keep the windows down that's all

I deal with too much poop to want to deal with a car powered by it... lol... I hope everyone had a great holiday. I baked 300 cookies for family and friends and somehow did it with the twins teething. Talk about poop factories... hehehe. Here's a song/rhyme for the stress of the holidays... no offence anyone.

Jingle bells,
Trees from hell,
Presents to take back,
Christmas lights,
Family fights,
And quotes on christmas crap.

Tis the season for stress.

Morning Myth, I 'll take some cookies to go with my coffee, please. Twin engine poop car, huh?

Myth,

I read the little poem to my wife. Laughing out loud..

I was hoping it would bring a smile... man I think my car would be twice as fast being twin powered and all... it would have to be to keep up with all that I have to do... lol

Happy 2007 to all my friends and family!!

I second J's remark... my head hurts.

OMG!! I just found the lounge 2 on page 2 what's the world coming to??

DA BEARS!!!!!!!!!

Wooooo Hooooooooooo

SUPERBOWL BOUND BABY!!!!!!

Helloooooooooooooo Everybody! :)

Hey Krs where you been?

England... :)
And very busy at work - had a change of jobs, same company but different department, very demanding job!

England... :)
and very busy at work - had a change of jobs, same company but different department, very demandin job!

You mean you were here and you didn't say anything :eek:

Ahhh sorry :(
Had no access to a computer but I really enjoyed my stay!

Isn't it funny to think that you could talk to a person on here and just pass them on a sidewalk in public? We should start a amhd annual meet your advisor thing or something. It would be fun.

I would love a meet-up.

I'M BACK!


[/end transmission]

Anyone else?

Are we the only night owls?

I'm a night owl... but I do live on the west coast lol

Nobody said that you had to live near us to meet with other members. We could do it by different regions... We could even break it up by time zones or something.

Yeah I usually am a night owl, I stay up regularly to like 1 a.m. or to a.m. which is weird because I love sleep, but I never get enough when I stay up that late. I should really work on that...

I only sleep a few hours a night, which might be why I am able to surf so much :)

I'd be willing to meet other people... but I'm kind of a newbie here, so I don't want to jump in and make anyone uncomfortable with the idea, either.

Surfings cool, we have our fair share of surfers out here in cali... I have never done it, mainly due to water sports aren't my thing, I like snowboarding and what not...

Did you ever see point break?

Point Break is one of my favorite movies.

Same here... keanu and patrick are awesome in it... mia con tios lol

Allright well it's time for me to start my night... I am going to bail... much love from cali everyone

Have a good one! And Lol @ quote haha

Well, tomorrow is the big day.

DA BEARS vs DA Ponies, opps the Colts.

So, who is up for wings, skins and chili?

I am... and not to upset you bears fan but I have put my bet down on the Colts. Hey, Rex did well but I don't ride dark horses on Super bowl Sunday. I could be wrong though, but I like my chances. Also, tomorrow a friend of mine is going to attempt to eat 100 chicken Mcnuggets in an hour and fifteen minutes. I will inform you if he makes it, or if a trip to the hospital was necessary. Just out of curiosity how many of you think he can make it?

Hmmm...

48!

Da Bears lost, oh well, at least they made it that far!!

Test yesterday went okay, was the hardest of the 2 semesters so far.

How many did he eat Wizz? I am guessing 64.

67.5 to be exact... very close j, but after 67.5 he puked and had a pretty crappy rest of the day. I think he ended up puking around five times total...

Meh... good thing he didn't use barbecue sauce.

Actually lol... he did. He said that was the only way he could get them down. Which I think was a good idea, because if you have ever eaten mcnuggets by themselves they get gross after around 10, so I imagine that they would be unbearable without sauce around like 30.

Whoa...

YUCKIE!!

Sentra I want a pair of shoes like those!!

Do you think they would look good in a nursing uniform. LOL.. NOT!!

But I love them anyway!!

Thanks and same to you!!

... not the kind of nursing uniform in an actual hospital... hahaha!:)

LMAO.

It is so nice to be back in the Lounge. It has been a while, but a great breath of fresh air!!

WooHoo, party at my place!! I just got into the Who's Who Among Students!!

71 people in my school were chosen and I was one. I contacted the school and it is legit.

I don't know why I was picked though my GPA is not all that great. But I will take it if I can add it to my CV!!

Yay! Gratz J_9! :)

TY Sentra!! This only happens once a year, and when I was in high school I was a D- student (and I tried HARD). I feel like I got a brand new lease on life with this. I feel YOUNG again!!

That's so great, very cool and congrats isn't a good enough word!:) You ARE young, age is just the number of years we've made living worthwhile!!

Oh, girl I love that!! "Age is just the number of years we've made living worthwhile." I will have to remember that one!!

Yes I may be 42, but sometimes I feel 22. The older you are, and the older you feel is the older you get.

Oh, come on, we have to revive The Lounge. Don't want it to end on post #666 do we? http://www.ask-it-here.com/emoticons/devil.gif

Very bad sign.

So, who as the Kool Aid? I am about to open the pool yet again for another season.

Taking bar-B-que requests.

Sorry J_9, I got caught up in trying to answer a question and didn't see you.

I liked Synnen's post, on your "30" post, about the bottle opener. Very true. I had bought a cheapie back in my college days that had a key chain on it. It was a nice handy little doodad. I only lost it about three years ago. Boy, am I sad case. I was just thinking that when I was a real mover and shaker in my younger days, all glammed up for the big city job, managing and running companies, I was still running around with that freakin' thing. No wonder everyone always invited me out for drinks after work!

Hey, let's move this party over to The Looney Bin (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/member-discussions/looney-bin-69728.html)

Thanks for the invite J-9.
I forgot about the good old lounge.

Come on over to The Looney Bin (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/member-discussions/looney-bin-69728-2.html#post314037) Tuscany

Here is a story about anxiety in the highest degree!!!

Pretend you have to take a test that your career depends on. You are only given 1 1/2 hours for the test. Your instructor is 20 minutes late. She passes out a test with over 200 math problems on it, and there are 9 pages. The problems are in no way shape or form what she has taught.

Now, you must get a minimum of a 75% on your test or you lose your career.

She is 20 minutes late. Did I say that? About 10 minutes before the test is scheduled to end, and after a few people finish and leave the class, the teacher says "I am so sorry I must have made this test too hard. I promise that all of you will pass this test. I will have to make a big curve for you all to pass, but you will pass."

5 minutes later she comes back into class and says "Your favorite nursing instructor has given you as much time as you need to finish this test. Just remember that you all will pass. I promise."

5 minutes later she announces that we have only 15 minutes left. What happened to "all the time we need?"

After 90% of the class finishes and leaves under the assumption that there will be a "big curve" and that we "all will pass," she announces to the remaining 10% that "since you have had extra time there will be no need to curve the grade."

Now understand that she gave us a study guide, told us what reviews in the book to do. "The test will be just like the cumulative review on page such and such." The test was NOTHING like that!!!

100% of the class feels as though they failed the test. I have to wait 24 hours to find out if I have been kicked out of nursing school because of this one wacko teacher.

This will be the longest 24 hours of my life. I already have high blood pressure, I don't need this load of crap!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to unload, just had to get it out.

Now this!!!??? What happened to The Lounge??????

Oh, I need to go back to bed and start all over.

After my original schooling, I hit upon lots of teacher like this, wanted to smack them right in the head with a head of cabbage, (less fattening), they generally don't care, their working on their doctrates or whatever... Don't despair, if you've gotten this far you can continue. In the one class I took, (over and over till I was dizzy. 3 times) I finally ended up knowing more than the next professor!! Personally I doubt if you failed, the people that have ulcers and IBS in college, are generally the ones that pass, truly I am one. and I know that you are equally as dedicated in your field!!
If baldness could have occurred, I'd be shinining right now. When you know that you are true to your field and you've studied till your blind, I doubt that you'll fail, especially you!! Sorry I have too much faith in you!! Don't sweat the small s----! We love what we do and therefore I believe even though we think we're going to fail we,don't!! Relax, have some fun with the kids, take a low fat, low sugar, chill pill, it'll be all right!! Trish!! :D

Hey, let's move this party over to The Looney Bin (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/member-discussions/looney-bin-69728.html)

J9---Don't want to hear about ole age from young wippersnappers like you, My kids gave me a perfect Mug a couple of years ago (months... ) it's betty boop (my idol), it says, while she's posing ever so sexily, Honey, 50's not old... And although I'll never tell anyone my real age, it's cool, I don't act old, feel old, or look old, life has been good. And Oil of Olay is a miracle drug!! lol. I raised 4 kids alone, ate good food, exercised, chasing after the hooligans, and worked hard. And when I look at some women my age, I say thank you God! I may have been without some stuff, but, I have perfect health, a good body, not on any kind of drugs and life is great!! So think ahead what you got to look forward too!! Lots of good stuff, believe me... :D

Oh, girl I love that!!! "Age is just the number of years we've made living worthwhile." I will have to remember that one!!!

Yes I may be 42, but sometimes I feel 22. The older you are, and the older you feel is the older you get.
Exact'alac'alacaly, Nubers like age, don't count, you just age like fine wine!! (Believe me, I truly know this Stuff!! ;)
