This is the continuation of https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/member-discussions/lounge-29979.html.

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.

All I have to say is WOW. That is crazy. Good luck and I am sure everything will work out.

What a pretty pic of Joshua Joe.

How I miss the "old" days, before they can talk back! LOL

Everybody keeps saying that too me.

The fun is just starting.

Etc Etc Etc...

Ice Ice baby, Vanilla Ice Ice baby

After today, I need the fighting words. Life is going to suck for the next day. If the teach gives the grades tomorrow.

Otherwise I got to wait a whole freaking week!!

;) Jesus helper 76 your pics are just glorious... and J-9 you go girl... you got grade you want... girl... go get them... I need some professionals help with some medical questions... do not let me down girl... you girl... go get the grade you want girl... pop the finger to the right and make a 360 back to same place... Yeah... I am placing more pressure on you to make it... what else could I do...

Well, Luna, the pressure was over at around 9:15 am central time. Now it is all up to the teacher.

I am going to boo hoo all the time till I find out the grade. Could be as late as next Wednesday. Way to enjoy the fall break ain't it!!

Why did the lounge move?

I have no freaking idea. You would think I would since it is my thread, but I don't.

Wizzy, aren't you a beauty!!

J girl you need a massage and to get out of the house for a few. Stop stressing there's not much you can do about it now. Get your blood pressure down and have your family cater to you for a day or so. I think you probably did just fine on that test and your going to do just fine in school. Got faith in you hun. Your going to do great!

They tell me the same thing Joe. I don't know though. I only average about three hours of sleep a night because of a diaper rash due to the changing of formulas. *sigh* One of these days I'm just going to have someone come watch them so that I can sleep. Hey, that's not a bad idea...

It is called Respite Care Myth.

There are nurses out there who take care of family members who are ill, or young as in your babies, so that the caregiver (you) can go out and have fun or get some rest.

Yep you need that... lol.

So do you Myth.

I am having it right now. It is called Day Care. Really and truly DayCare is a form of respite care.

Books are put away for this week, I am still in my jammies, and I got my pepsi!! Time for a nap I think.

Hey, I slept in today. I got up at 7.

That is sleeping in... lol. I am going to have someone watch them on Sunday just so I can sleep and shower and maybe get the dishes done... lol... had to throw in some work...

I PASSED THE MATH EXAM!!

YIPEE, YAHOO,

Anyone want to go for a drink?

I could use one now that the kids are asleep... I hate house hunting. I want a long islan ice tea...

CONGRATS J!! Doing a happy dance for you.

Congratulations J, treat yourself and have TWO pepsi's lol

I already knew that you did before you said anything. (; (; (;

Congrat J, I knew you would, eveyone but you did. When you go for that drink bring some of those repise things by with some blue Kool Aid. The grandkids just went home and my wife and I are too worn out to stir the pitcher.

Here's your Kool Aid T, and you have the "repise" things since the kids went home that is your "repise"

I am so happy I get to go back to school next Wednesday. EVERYONE was worried that they failed.

Ah, but I am too tough to fail!!

OH, YEAH, HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH!!

J_9 congratulations... I am already using you in answers... had faith in you girl... here is another cheer... go girl go... I need someone to make me read like I know what I am doing... girl girl go... one Dr. Pepper with vanilla and cherry... oatmeal cookies with raisin and pecans... on us here...


Don't we just make you sick girl...

Oh, all that sweet stuff... Gimme a steak!!

Luna do you have your cheerleading outfit on? LOL

I got a few weeks before the next SERIOUS test.

I got to admit, you guys are a great cheering section. I appreciate it.

:D My suit is midnight blue with cream trim and silver sparkles around the neck and the hem... the shoes are DK... and socks are Hanes... lipstick is red and my teeth are whiten... my poms poms are larger than my head... GO girl go... left left left right left my back is aching my panies tooo tight my hips are shaking from left tooo right... a yell a yell my girls needs the power yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhWEEEEEEEEEEEE!GooooGOOO:D

What's all the yelling about?

I am glad that the yelling has calmed down somewhat. My eyes can't take all that screaming!!

Hey when I yell in text I use crimson red and the font is Gothic in size 18... I write it like I-AM-YELL-ING...

Writing a message with anger is humorous... it is so much better to say in front of someone... but over the years I learned the arguments are not good for you... if I am wearing makeup it ruins it... wrinkles are represented at its worse... so... I do walk away... but today to walk away is a show of weakness... so sad... what ever happened to polite behavior... and concern for the advancement of humanity... that striving for perfection like thinking... if we follow the path of positive behavior then some of issues we address here... will I am writing an Oprah moment here... let me get back to the fun... motivating may mind for the purpose of advancing :cool: ...

Oh this is football season and my university won against Iowa the score with Indiana was 31 points... it does not matter what the score the other school made...

Oh yeah this message is for a relative just in case he and his wife is reading experts...

I heard my old team the Chicago Bears are running undefeated year and my Indianapolis Colts are doing OK...
Seen a lot of commercials about my man Manning... uh to be long legged and his type...

It is Football season... I would love to see football go totally international... love to look at some international rears... I am ready for some football...

Oh, yes. Yesterday was yummie

Football, beer, chili... cold outside (fire in the fireplace)

Had a bonfire in the evening... hot cider.

DaBears, UNDEFEATED play tonight. Yehaw!! I am on fall break I can stay up to watch the whole game!!

Fall is here, the leaves are falling and the football is flying!!

Life is grand

GO BEARS!!

They remain undefeated. Yeppers, they pulled it out of their *&&*#, but still they WON!!

You talk about pins and needles... Darn good game. They all where... Its been raining for the last two days and we sure needed it as its been a really dry year. Watchout world the storms that are rain thiis time of the year for Texas means a lot of snow as they travel N/NE towards Chicago.

T, did you get the 10" of rain I heard about on the news?

Good thing Rae was back from Houston on Saturday. I would have worried myself sick!! Here in TN we got a good bit of that rain yesterday.

Dang Schlitterbaun, was closed but for about 4 slides.

Guess the family is going to come visit you this summer so we can go when it is open!!

Naw, only got about 2 inches but it was study, all the theme parks open in May I think and run until October so start early and party late.

Hey, I'll bring the Kool Aid, your grandson and my son can play power rangers

GO GO POWER RANGERS!!

Mine is going to be Superman for Halloween, how about yours?

Spiderman...

I have a little angel and a little devil... lol... I figured it was fitting to their personalities at the moment... I've got pics of them in their costumes. I'll post them later if anyone wants to see.

My friends and I might go trick or treating this year, despite the fact we are seniors, I have thought about different costumes, and the one that is in the lead is... JESUS!

You are not telling the whole story... taliman... it rained so much that the reservoir over flowed their banks and the sidewalks are now titled and mud is every where... my windows are wet and if you visited Dallas/Garland... there are running rivers... I am a transplant and I knew that... get from in front of the television set and look out your window... man... the air the next day was so good that it was nearly perfect... I could have died a happy death... the air was so good... it was a good day... man good day!! Need to yell the word GOOD DAY!

Sneaks in, looking mildly sheepish :o looks around to see the place empty and quiet and sits down on the edge of the pool to soak my feet from the long trek back, aaaaah LOL

Oh, Mom, can you scoot over a little? I need to soak my brain. Another big test on Monday111

Welcome back Mom, sorry I'm late, would you like a glass of kool-aid?

WELCOME BACK... frosted cheerios are delicious...

LOL Thanks J and WK... I'll have both, just not together, okay?

And what's with the Lounge Two biz... I'm gone for like a blink of an eye and the place gets remodelled or something? :eek:

Yeah, I guess we just got too big!!

Mom, do you still have the karoke machine? We may have to borrow it next week.

Digs for that "orchestra in a box" machine in my back closet-- grunting and tossing asunder (love that word, asunder) tennis rackets, bizarre and ill-concieved kitchen appliances from late night TV distracting insomia episodes, old training cage for the pup now grown, clothes and a carton of nice books meant for the good old Salvation Army and various non-descript oddities... "Oh wait, I lent it to Tal before I left!"... does the "I could have had a V-8" slap to the noggin.

Oh Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

Tee Hee karaoke is funny can I come play ben doesn't like my singing much I can't possibly think why mind you!

How are you all doing?

Oh yeah, sure Mrs Curly... um just as soon as we find Tal and the jukebox, erm karaoke machine...

What song would you like?

Something real fun from the 80's :)

Helooooooooo, Anybody home? Got coffee? Where do you want this music machine? What a perfect Football Sunday. Hey, get this thing somebody, I got another game tonight! Cowboys/Giants!! Wake up and get to poppin'

Hi Tal! Thanks, and how have you been? :)
Hands you a steaming mug as I jockey the machine from you.

Looks around for Curlyben's wife... :cool:

Oh there, you are... plugs in the machine.

Genesis, Aerosmith, Heart...

FREE BIRD!! (lol)

Try sweet emotion by aerosmith... :)

Oh, No Not Freebird!!

This is the continuation of https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/member-discussions/lounge-29979.html.


Roel, you didn't mention to me on the phone that you started a Lounge 2 thread. This is one of the funniest things you've done. Since I'm passing through, I'll have a Sea Breeze. ;)

Hey Pretty Lady (hands you your drink -- hopes like mad that was the drink and not the aftershave!! :eek: ) here you go!
Oh and while you're on the phone with him, ask why he made a Part Two, would you please, hun? Unless of course the technical drift is too hard to explain...

o.k. COME ON GUYS! Who doesn't like a good free bird every now and again lol

How does that song go again Mom? Another one bites the dust? Was that it?

LMFAO!!

Any body had a hard party...

:) Somebody placed embalesare con algo in my drink... who the punk that wants me in _____... let it be known that you cannot handle this... duh rabbit!. come on I will pour some hot sauce on it... hurt did it huh duh... you had a friend... lay it out... la pastilla de cuentagotas... went to a party last weekend and never got over it... need a spanking... no but need to spank... oh... don' do that again... yea hear me... ;) :D

That happens every time someone plays a freebird or something with eagle... man I am sore

Ummm LUNA honey??

Have you been hitting the hard sauce instead of the hot sauce a little too much today??

I donut understand you, chil!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm donuts

I know, mmmm I could use a lemon filled just about NOW!

I want cake donuts with white icing on it with kona coffee... hope I don't throw up after that ever lasting party... I use to hold my hot sauce and there was never a problem with the hard sauce either... oh yeah need to take those pills that come with menopause... I think that is how to spell it... oh well... cake donuts yummm yummm yummy... spelling go to plum...

Okay, I am totally lost here. Donuts and hot sauce? UGGHHH

o.k. COME ON GUYS! Who doesn't like a good free bird every now and again lol


Which version: If I see you tomorrow... or He's on the dance floor yellin' free bird.

I like "Another One Bites the Dust" also

How about "Magic" OH OH OH it's magic, you know, never believe it's not so, it's magic you know (by Pilot) (one hit wonder)

Or "Lifes been good" by Joe Walsh.


I want cake donuts with white icing on it with kona coffee...


How about a long john with white frosting filling and a fountain coke. OOOOOOOOOOHHH
Yummy.

No calorie long john and coke. :p

I'll just stick with steak and salad. I just can't do sweets, neither can my hips!! :eek:

A long John with icing... white icing at that... wow yummy... my hard party is disappearing... sounds like something some asked me the other day... cannot fully remember...
Enjoying them long johns... and watching my hips spread... I know a few that would love to know that

The hot sauce is placed on the sidee for something else... ususally something fried...

Me believes Luna frequently attends her own little party!! JK

Hey Pretty Lady (hands you your drink -- hopes like mad that was the drink and not the aftershave!!!:eek: ) here ya go!
Oh and while you're on the phone with him, ask why he made a Part Two, would you please, hun? Unless of course the technical drift is too hard to explain.....


He said that this website has a limit for how many posts can be in a thread, therefore, he locked the old thread and created a new one.

Pretty Lady, Welcome to The Lounge... :D

FYI, you might want to change your Siggy. It says to click the "link below and let me know". :rolleyes:

But the link is on top on the right hand side.:eek:

That's because I'm using the new skin. If you've seen the skin, then you know that the link is below, not on the top.

Oh, the NEW skin!! Oh, my eyes!! Where are the sunglasses, LOL.

My old eyes can't take the brightness!!

Donuts are an american instituiton, you have to love them. I love donuts, all though I rarely eat them, they are kind of bad for you, but they are delicious. As for as hot sauce goes, the hotter the better, the only kind of hot sauce I won't eat is the ones that literally set your lips aflame and that is still a tough deciscion lol.

FREEBIRD!!

You go Wizzy!!

So you like the donuts? You going to go in law enforcement when you grow up?:cool:

Hey, it's hunting season. I think Freebird just became someone's dinner?! :eek:

New skin needs to come with a pair of ray bans lol So those who use the old skin will just have to be confused, it seems!

Thanks for the info Pretty Lady that was pretty much as I suspected... but I am curious what you found so funny about him making a second installment?

I know we can be hilarious here in the Lounge but I didn't get how part two is comical?

Okay, how about we get away from the name dropping and get out the karoke machine!!

Another one bites the dust...

Come on Mom, join in here. LMFAO!!

If the police offered me free donuts for life, your looking at their newest recruit...

OK J_9 what does LMOFA mean?? Am I old or something? I do not know what it means:eek:


If the police offered me free donuts for life, your looking at their newest recruit...


How about calorie free pizza for life--------would love that for sure!

Oh, BIM, I thought you taught me a few (Laugh My F*&*&ng A** Off)

Bim, honey, I think you need a little sunshine these days. You are looking rather pale!!

Hey, did I spell rather right?

It's just between him and I. I think the new skin is great. The new members don't have any problem with it. In fact, the member count has gone up and the board is more active now. I guess some regular members aren't open to changes.

Sings wildly off key...

AIN'T NO SUNSHINE IN... NEBRASKA!

Oh tut tut Lady, not nice to not bring enough gum for the whole class, now is it? :mad:

Last I looked, flaunting an inside joke in the Lounge gets you detention at finishing school, doesn't it, J? LOL

Is there actually a way to determine who is using which skin? Logically one can't assume the member count and activity is linked to the skin unless there are numbers to reflect that... shrugs :confused:

You are my sunshine my only sunshine!!

Hey I have perfect pitch... NOT!!

Row row row your boat gently down the stream, uh forget the rest of the words... by the way pitch is as useful to singing as a knife when your eating spaghetti lol.

Hey, I resmeble that remark!! I cut my spaghetti, maybe cause I have had kids for 20 years now.

What happened to The Muddies!?

(puts face in his hands)... lol... you cut your spaghetti... lol...

Hey hey it's the monkeysssssss...

Its better than cutting some other things! :eek:

Oh, BIM, I thought you taught me a few (Laugh My F*&*&ng A** Off)

Bim, honey, I think you need a little sunshine these days. You are looking rather pale!!!!!!

Hey, did I spell rather right?

WOW, I absolutely LOVE that one :D LMFAO HOOOO HOOOO

I need A lot of sunshine these day! I need a long vacation on a beach with white sand, umbrella drink in hand, a cabana kid fanning me down (by the looks of WizzKid he would do fine), no shirt, no shoes, no worries.

But if I went shirtless, Wizzkid might want a blindfold :p

By the way---------where is everyone this morning!! I am all along with my diet dew and 35 mechanics---I need a little extra estrogen in the mix here!! ;)

35 Mechanics?!

Are they in any condition to take their shirts off for you?

35 Mechanics??!!!

Are they in any condition to take their shirts off for you?


NOOOOOOOOOt so much, but man I wish---I could sure use that right now!!

By now I could use more that, how about 3 or 4 umbrella drinks

Hey yeaaah, I want to umbrella in my hawaiin punch, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!

How about a Long Island Ice Tea, Flaming Volcano, Captin Morgan and Coke?? Just 3 or 4 with some sunshine, white sand, blue water, half naked men (oooops did I say that?) Sorry :cool: (Noooooooooooooooot too sorry though)

Anyone interested in the white sand, blue water, etc... (As I close my eyes and lay my head back ahhhhhh) (Then I open the eyes and holy crap!! ) It is gloomy & cold in Nebraska. As I look out over a highway. Boring no sand here :mad:

Hey, get out the karoke machine!! I just thought of a new song!!

Okay, so it dates me, but who cares!

Bobby Vinton

Blue on blue
Heartache on heartache...

Oh, Wizzy, good to see you. I just got finished unloading some steam and it is nice to see such a cute face!!

Boy, I think I may have gone overboard for the first time.:o

Lol... I let off some steam about a week ago, and it felt good... until I realized what I did ;). The whole problem is that for me I want to let off steam, but when I do I feel like a dirtbag. With some people it's like talking to a brick wall, and that's kind of why I work out to let off steam and just get rid of all the crap people give you.

P.S. your cute too :p

Okay, Wizz, You are such a great guy!!

Makes me feel like I have 4 sons instead of 3.

However, I did not feel like a dirtbag! I feel like I finally got my oint across. Women and married men? I just don't understand the fascination.

Good thing you are still young. And what a great guy you are.

I hope my girl can find a guy as good as you when she is old enough to date. (She is almost 13 so that will be in about 40 years or so.)

P.S. your cute too :p

The trick is to let off steam but in a constructive way. I know I have loosened my own reins on negative rep'ing since the overall reputations we have here noticed and I have definitely upped my use of the Inapproprite Report and its felt gooooooooooooooooood.

Might even do some good here in the long run too, who knows! :rolleyes:

(And you ARE cute!)

Wish me luck...

I'm getting married tomorrow!! Lol. Just thought I would let you all know. It's a little spur of the moment but hey I seem to do everything that way. Why should this be any different... hehehe. OMG! I need to go bake cakes... I'm trying my hand at my own wedding cake... I have done birthday cakes... but a wedding cake is a different story... for now. So I think a wonderfully great lounge PARTY is in order... lol...

Says to Myth, the blushing bride:
Congratssssssssssssssss!

Grabs that mic and starts singing:

I'm getting married in the morning...
Ding dong the bells are gonna chime!

um what kind of cake and um what's going on top and um, details GIRL!!

Sits down next to Sentra because she has the chips, mmmmmm munch munch

Thanks... now to look up how to make icing roses... *sigh*

Here is one (http://www.sugarcraft.com/catalog/misc/lessons/roses.htm)... I like the pictures.

Can I lick the bowl?? :p :p :p

I have to admit, I am impressed by women who have babies (especially that, very brave LOL) and make their own wedding cake!

I would have loved to have made mine but as it was a friend (skilled like you, I bet) did it.

Well I'm baking and have to go buy shoes too... lol... I love the site... thank you soooo much. I'm not all that talented I just do what has to be done. Can't rely on anyone else do get it done the way I want so got to do it my own little self... hehehe.

My roses are looking great!! Oh and Val you can lick all three bowls if you like. Who knows maybe I'll turn it into a business... lol. I'll post a pic of it when I get done with it.

My roses are looking great!!! Oh and Val you can lick all three bowls if you like. Who knows maybe i'll turn it into a business...lol. I'll post a pic of it when I get done with it.
Oh goodie... bowls for everyone!
Oh even bigger goodie... pics!

I may not get them up right away due to the impending event... be patient with me

No problemo, Myth.

Congratulations Myth for not only getting married but being able to bake/decorate cakes... Serious being able to do anything like that in a kitchen is amazing, and you get a lot of points in my book for being able to do something like that. My entire family can cook well, but apparently my cooking ability got lost in my genetic code... MY UNCLE IS EVEN A CHEF! Not me though, I can make a sandwich and that is it... For me cooking is like drawing I can see what I want to happen, but can't follow through. I have even taken a class(required by school by hey it counts), and I ended up being better at sewing(... barely). Do not let me near your guys' kitchen I am a virus... I remember one time while I was at my dad's house we wanted to do something nice for my step mom, and we tried to wash the dishes... It was the saddest sight in the world, two guys just staring for minutes at a dishwasher. We eventually started it but with the wrong soap and it overflowed. The saddest part is that my further attempts to wash the dishes has not been any better, mainly I cannot figure out what soap is right. I have concluded that I will live off plastic and paper silverware for the rest of my life.

Anyway I hope you have a beautiful wedding and a great cake...

Sincerely

Whizz

You sound like my hubby wiz... lol... he lived off paper plates and plastic utensils and lived off microwave food till I got here... now he cooks, loads the dishwasher and even does laundry... lol... the right woman and anything is possible... hehehe

Nothing better than reading about cake batter and a wedding first thing in the morning.

Bon chance!! CONGRATS!

Thank you. I'm so tired and we all know how stressful weddings can be. Well night all. Oh I left some cake in the fridge if anyone wants some.

Here a cookie bar recipe... flour well shifted about two cups... brown sugar dark or light.. and butter.. two sticks... mix and then crumble up into a cookie sheet.. melt some Carmel or make some by using brown sugar, milk and butter and vanilla or butter extract.. toast some pecans and buy a package of 75 - 85 percent chocolate... pour the Carmel mix on the crumble cookies mix... and then place pecan and chocolate pieces on the top and then swirl... bake at 350-375 degrees in a conventional oven... cook for 15 minutes or until done... you will know... brew a pot of Kona for morning coffee drinking and lets sit here and talk about what the day will bring... and do not forget the meds... need the meds... oh by the way good morning...

Nice recipe, LunaGoddess. :) Kona coffee? Haven't tried that one yet, will look around for it.

So how is everyone doing today?

One long day for me!!

Must have had a wasp infestation in the classroom. No one could sit still during lecture and the wasps they were a flying!!

Thank you Sentra... I will be grocery shopping tomorrow.. making another batch... OH J-9 did you call the health department.. wasp... not good for the health... they don't make honey... or do they

Nope, don't make honey!!

But no need to call the health department, they guys in the class ended up killing them all!

I got stung by a wasp once... I'll admit it... I cried.

Anytime there's a wasp flying around, I become barefoot. Know what I mean?

Hey Y'all! Been gone a while-a lot has happened, killer wasps, Myth got married, the singing ended, Wizz cannot cook, and Curlybens wife wears the pants! :p

I have been taking care of a 9 year old that has had a fever since LAST Thursday,, ugh. Not just a slight temp... 102.7 - 103.7 miserable!!

Fever along with vomiting & cough.

Took to 2 separate doctors and ended up at emergency room, they took blood and said it is all viral--has to run its own course... ugh.

Was actually glad to come back to work to rest *sigh*

Everyone be prepared... ER doctor said this 7 day fever is goin' 'round. I feel for anyone who gets this. It SUCKS!

Yeah colds really start to come around this time of year, that is why I use a lot of antibacterial soap, and always wash my hands before eating or touching my eyes, anything that can get germs into my body basically. I am kind of a germ freak so I stay away from the people with colds, door handles, community things...

I was reading somewhere, that this doctor thinks that most germs get in through your ear. He said you should put h. peroxide on a Q-TIP and swab the inside of your ears. I don't know, anybody heard of that?

Magprob, that reminds me of a quote:

"Shut up brain before I stab you with a Q-tip!"

But no, never heard of that one.

I haven't heard of that one either, it seems doubtful just because the nose and the mouth share an opening to sensitive skin, easy openings I might add, and with the ear the way it is built, it's not as easy to access that sensitive skin, not to mention the wax in your ear's purpose is to keep out germs. Possible but not very probable in my mind.

Never heard of the ear thing either.

ARGH!! "I see sick people!!!" They're everywhere around me at work. What do I do, I need a surgery mask, I wash my hands all the time, and I hand santizer right in front of me. :eek:

I guess I freak out because I am on Enbrel & Methotrexate (for rhematoid arthritis) which both lower your immune system sooooo much and I cannot fight off infections... OMG!!

Anyway, I just get really nervous being around sick people.

J_9 can you come to my work and defend me from these germ infested people!

You sexy nurse vixon. (picture) :D


"Here I am to save the day!!!" you say as you come breaking through my work door!

Here I come, hold on, let me grab my industrial size can of Lysol!!

Jumps in the room, spraying the room in a fanlike motion.

Wait, peroxide in the ear?:confused::confused: That's the silliest thing I ever heard!!

There you go Bim, take a deep germ free breath! :D

WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!! Much better!! *says the germ covered employee as she wipes her brow with the back of her hand*


After spraying the infested work environment, the sexy vixon starts her next course of action. *She takes a cotton swab dipped in peroxide and starts sticking it in germ-infested employees ear*

*The germ infested empoyee is holding on to her chair as the sexy vixon grabs her by her hair tilts her head side ways and start degerminating her ears*

*The sexy vixon finishes her duties at this location, grabs her industrial sized lysol, stands with her hands on her hips, legs shoulder width apart, and says* "My work here is done, go flourish in your germ-free environment & clean ears. I shall return on another day when you becon me"

*The sexy vixon flies out the door in a whirl of spraying lysol*

OMG Bim, you are too funny!!

I wield the fearfully awesome bottle of sanitizer... it fits in my palm to fool the doorknob germs.

Ph33r me. Muahahaha.

Muahaha... ha. Yeah, does anyone have any good anecdotes to start November with?

I am now married... lol... yeah!! Anyway, as always it was a hecktic day and I'm glad it's over...

Are there pics to go with that comic? I have got to copy that recipe, it sounds so good. Still waiting on pics of the cake.. Is there anything else I'm forgetting? Twins are getting big... Oh will put pics of the costumed kids up soon. I think that's it... Just thought I would pop in and say hi... bye... lol...

Congrats again to you, Myth.:) I wish you and your hubby a long, happy, and loving life together. :)

Mm, cake...

Congrats Myth!!

Was the cake yummy?

I got the invite to the baby shower, but no wedding invite? LOL

Wish you the best!

Good morning, everyone, I've got COFFEE!!

Good afternoon to you all :)

Good morning and good afternoon, Yeah coffee, Brr. Its 43 degrees this morning but the trees are getting beautiful with their fall colors. Ya got to love it.

Indeed, T.

Bouncing on the floor... on the butt... yelling... I hate puzzles... yo husband get me a cup of kona and please put some Irish crème in it... a lot of Irish crème in the coffee and two teaspoons of sugar... some shortcakes be fine dear... well good morn to you all... want join me... some 30 proof Irish crème and coffee all...

Irish... creme?

*Flies to the moon*

Ha! That stuff is pretty tasty.

(GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG ASK ME HELPDESK!)

How is everyone doing today? I had kind of a long night and I am setting up for another one so I am trying to take it easy and have my body recover...

And Ughh as far as coffee goes, I can't stand that stuff. I have tasted the majority of it, the frapaccion's, capacinio's, different bean blends, and I just can't stand it. Coupled with the fact that I hate monopolizing companies, I have a strong disdain for starbucks. However, when I was in seattle, I was visiting the space needle and our tour guide, coincidentally, is the niece of the founder of starbucks and gave us the whole detailed version of exactly how the money grubbing idea began. Apparently a man had a great business idea of having a store that had a great number of coffee beans on sale, an absolute huge variety, well unfortunately that business went under, and was bought by her Uncle for a really really sad price, I mean absolutely low, can't remember the figure, but nothing compared to what the Uncle was going to make on selling the coffee. Anyway, he had the idea to add hotwater and sell coffee, well that business exploded and years later it has transformed into one of the many money-grubbing large coporations that single-handly destroy the american dream as we know it.

Well I hope you guys have a good day... damn starbucks...

Community Coffee is probably my favorite brand, but they don't sell that around here so I drink Folger's ;)

I have a question do you drink coffee for the taste, or the boost you get?? And as for hot drinks, I am a sucker for hot cocoa.

I think it's a bit of both, coffee doesn't wake me up as much as a nice cup of tea does. I can add flavor to coffee with creams and sugar; hot cocoa is great, I like adding a few mint leaves to mine, nice addition to a cup of goodness.

Yeah hot cocoa is great, it is one of those few things like soup, that sort of soothes the entire mind and body. I usually make mine with milk as I feel it gives it a more creamier taste than it's water alternative...

Right, the packages always say to use water to make it (hot cocoa) but milk is best.

Coffee black and strong to get at least one eyelid open in the morning. That was the routine for decades but since I don't work now, then I've switched to decafe, and still love it. Sometimes I add a pack of hot chocalate to the coffee mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Smells good too!

Hey wizz, isn't the starbucks guy living the american dream?? Wish I could...

Ok try this for all you fresh bean grinders... Soak your beans in cold water overnight and then grind them in the morning... It gets rid of any bitter after flavor. It's called cold water extract. Give it a try.

Okay, I know I am dating myself here...

Anyone remember the Chicken Fat song? Robert Preston?

I used to do it in Gym class in like kindergarten.

Just a blast from the past.

Go you chicken fat GO!!

It is so freaking gunny to watch a 4 year old do the jumping jacks!~!

WOW... I am going to try that Myth... cold water from the bottle is OK right... done... getting really for the morning... but right now I am going to drink a decaf and Irish crème with two sugars... ran out of chocolate... hey Tal got some chocolate!. don't you ignore me Tal... got some chocolate!!

Luna, what proof is the Irish cream?

Here you go goddess, plenty of chocolate fresh from Krogers. How about a cup of that coffee? Save some for whizzkid he may need some with the hours he keeps... ah youth, I remember it well!

Speaking of long hours... I took the sat's today... it was actually fun... I have not felt that great in a long time honestly, I left feeling relieved by very excitied it was weird but I didn't care. I was singing on my way home I felt so good. And yeah I do keep long hours.. mainly because late night TV has the best programming :)

How'd it go luna? I totally hear that wizz. I love late night programming I just don't usually make it that long.

OMG. Been listening to some country tonight.

Butterfly kisses for the girls

I been watching you dad, for the boys.

Oh, tears of happiness!!

I have a can of soda to start my morning. Whoohoo!:)

Good Morning Board!

... :)

Good morning Lounge lovers, What a cloudy day this is, I think I'll have a cup of coffee and think about it. Darn Cowboys lost in such a weird way, and those Colts, whow! Hey Luna, Payton showed his butt, so I know you had a good time. Congrats on those SAT's Whizz, Good job my man, I see you talked Sentra out of coffee in the mornings, Soda?? Well why not?

:rolleyes: ;) Morn... got me some carmel and truffles favored coffee this morn... I saw the game last night 27 points... the kicker missed twice... they played against the New England Patriots... 6 feet and 5 inches of quarter back of a man... wow... seemed to tower over every one... undefeated... oh yeah... oh Manning you so fine you... fine you blow my mind... hey Manning... taste the coffee... need sugar... let me go I need more sugar... only a sports person crush on Manning.. would not want my husband to think.. I am stepping out of him... ;)

Yes I too love manning as he won some nice money for me on bets this Sunday... however my love for viniteria is starting to dissipate, we both come from the same state, South Dakota, but he missed WAY TOO MANY FIELD GOALS, and he got my heart racing... thank god kevin faulk can't catch

Did you see the fourth... the ball was angled to the right about 30-40 degrees... it was at a bad angle and man was not playing attention to his handler... V he kicker was not that rushed... I yelled at the television set before the kick... got to get me a bigger screen... I was in another room on the last kick in the fourth... The coach of the Patriots was not happy walking into the field as the count down became at about 38 seconds... did not see him shaking any hands... bad loser.. hahahahaha!!

Hahahhaha!

*hides mug*

What?. It's a stein! :D

Hey hurry and vote so the liquor stores can open. I start with coffee, but if we get rid of those nasty republicans I might celebrate tonight...

Rofl

Here, Here Tal... down with bush... errr can I say that? I am so glad he only as a couple of years left.

Only 4 1/2 hours left!!

The saddest part about politics is I haven't seen anyone worth voting for in a long while... granted it in march I can start voting... eitherway I thought that kerry was better than bush, but not by much and honestly I haven't seen a good canidate since clinton(bill that is)...

Wizz, did you really think Clinton was good?

Do you know about Kerry and his "purple hearts?" All you have to do is talk to someone who is defending our country and who has actually received a REAL purple heart to hear the truth about Kerry.

I know someone who personally served with Kerry during his "ouch I got a paper cut, gimme a purple heart" tour of duty. The gentleman I know is a Special Forces Green Beret, and has earned his 3 purple hearts, yet would rather not accept them so that he can go back and protect the freedom of youngns like you and my other kids. Yes, this man continues to go ti Iraq and loves the responses he gets there from the people he meets.

Yes I did think clinton was good... but I agree with everything you said. I do think kerry is slightly better than bush, I went to one of his speeches back in Sioux Falls in 2000, and I just don't really agree with the majority of his views, and that's not to say I completely agree with kerry either, I just believe kerry would do better. But it's like picking between drowning and burning alive, both are bad, and I wish I had another choice. Personally I hope the man you described becomes president because that is the one thing missing from the office today, character.

I wish that Randy would run for pres!! He would be Da Bomb.

Now, from what I have heard abot Kerry, from Randy, and know of his wife's family's business (my aunts and grandparents used to work for Heinz in Pgh, PA), if he became pres I would move to Iraq. LOL

Hey more power to you, I think both are crappy canidates lol, if I were to pick one person to run it would be Tom Daschle, I think he would be a good president. This is also kind of why I don't do politics, I know the basics and definitely not enough to make an educated deciscion.

I can't stress enough, ENOUGH about how happy I am. The elections are nearing their end and so are the campaign commercials. Pfft, they were annoying!

Here, here, Let raise our coffee cups to the end of election season.

I approve that message!! :p:D

I approve that message!!!:p:D


HA!:D
