To heck with castles, boats, gardens and cafés. Whatever other ground was covered that I missed. This is for who is still hanging out. For who is new and wants to join in. I am not appointing duties since there are not duties.

No whip.
No open bar.
No strong café drinks.
No love boat.

Open game. I miss some of you and the fun banter. The world sucks enough right now don't let a few words hurt. They are only words. Be thankful your still here to use those words. Some of our members are not.

Hello, I am first here huh?

Could just be us.
By the way any wedding bells yet? Hee hee
Its been awhile since I have talked to you.

No wedding bells. Actually last Saturday, not this past one but the one before that, I broke it off with my girlfriend. Then I realized some things and we took a break for a couple of days and now we are together but she is living with her mom right now. So, my guess is wedding bells are not to close.

Ouch. I had no idea. Well at least your together. Did you move her out?

No, I ended it with her, and when I cam home that night, all her stuff was gone. That was a tough one to see, a house half empty.

I bet.

I am searching for bar stools for my island in the new house. I have to say it hasn't been easy. Those things can get quite pricey.

Good change of subject. Lol

Yes, I was going to go with it anyway. Haha. Bar stools are pretty expensive though. I looked at a few before and changed my mind. So, I am forgetful, you are moved into your new house now? How are you liking it?

Hey guys!

I like chat threads,there easy going,I like the company, the banter,and the craic!

AND! It's a great way to share news with other members.

Hey Red, seems like, I haven't talked to you forever. How are you?

I gave up on finding barstools I liked in a reasonable price range and put a bookcase under the bar. I get more use out of the bookcase than I would the stools. :)

That's me over there...

Hey Stringer, How about them Bears?

Hi everyone, hope your all doing good :)

Good morning peoples.

I know what your saying about the bar stools. A bit pricey but I will find what I want. I won't stop until I do. That's how sunny works.

I am putting the one picture of my island up, its all I have right now. So you can see where I want stools. I do already have book cases on each side though.

hi everyone, hope your all doing good :)

Bear! Hey there.

Hi Sunny

Nice bar, if you hadn't said so id say it looked like a picture out of one of those show/catalogue homes :)

Nope its really my kitchen. When we are fully in I will post more pictures. But I took that one to send to some friends so they could see it. I love it! Today the heat is getting put in.

It does look amazing sunny :)

Yea it would be a good idea to have the 'heat' put in before winter fully arrives :D

That's what I am thinking. I have been running my heat here at night for about a month now. Soon, I am guessing a few more weeks and we will need it on all day.

How are you? Still working? Is that a forever job or just an intern type thing?

Yeah I've had to put my heating on a couple of times, but to be honest its not that bad here

It's a placement which means I'm working for a year as part of my course then next year its back to Uni :)

How are you, the building is complete I take it, just the insides (heat and electrical things to do) or is there more?

Do you actually get paid though? Might be a silly question. k

Well its all done. Heat, power and everything is done. There are a few minor things like some small cracks we noticed in the sheetrock I want to have fixed. But now we need to get some proper steps put in because the town code enforcer won't give us a certificate of occupancy until he sees steps at every door. Which is annoying. He is being kind of a jerk about it. One of them is a set of sliding glass doors. Our plans are for a big deck off that. But he wants it now. Well whatever. I am throwing up some set of crap steps so he sees something and is happy.

Yea I do get paid, which is a plus :)

No it wasn't a silly question as some placements are unpaid (not mine though :D)

Yeah you either get a decent building expector or an arsehole one who picks at everything, that said id rather have the one that does his/her job rather than the one that says 'it'l do' :)

I agree with the building inspector idea but this one is going over the top. He needs to realize right now one set of steps we are using at our old place. It's a small deck and its newer so we are keeping it and placing it off one of the doors. How can we put it at the new place if we are using it? Well at least the house is done and if he is my only problem I can deal with him. I have been known to deal with people and get results. I call it being a bee-yotch.

bee-yotch=results

I can't see a flaw in your eqation sunny

And if it works for you who am I to say otherwise :D

So how are you anyway, doing good I hope :)

I am well. Bumming over a job I wasn't offered. But life goes on. I was sure I was going to get it. Funny the interviewer was good friends with one of my good friends. Odd we hadn't met. Well she called her and did a reference check on me. I guess I was way to quiet in the interview and didn't talk about myself much. Go figure. Any one who knows me will tell you I don't shut up. Hey its her loss.

Sorry to hear that :(

But your right, life goes on and you've got more experience under your belt that you can bring to the next interview :)

Chin up sunny, you'll get one :)

I suppose these days I am lucky to have one. This place isn't doing so well. The boss had a mental breakdown last week. He doesn't know how to dig himself out of the hole he is in. Oh well. What can I do. I show up and do my job. My chin is up. Really it is.

Yeah that doesn't sound good :(

Hope you find one soon, and that its one you will enjoy :)

Haven't seen you in ages though, been busy with the house and job stuff I take it

Either way its good to see you again :)

I have been here. Just not chatting much. Mostly poking around the relationship threads. But Facebook sucks me in sometimes. That farming gets me sometimes. But I am free free free today!

Oh and I was out of work the hubby had an operation so that took up some time.

Hey Sunny and Bear. How are you doing?

But now we need to get some proper steps put in because the town code enforcer wont give us a certificate of occupancy until he sees steps at every door. Which is annoying.

My FIL was a codes inspector before he retired. It might be annoying, but there are very legitimate reasons for EVERYTHING they do.

Juss sayin';)

Ahh same as me then still here just pottering about in the background

Hope hubby's op went well and he's doing good now

Hey adam long time no see, I'm OK thanks, how you been?

Hey adam.

J9 I know what your saying and I understand it. He just doesn't want to reason over some things. Sadly I think after us he may lose his little position. He isn't well liked around town and getting him to show up is like pulling teeth. I was told he used to be the electrical inspector but was fired for taking bribes. Cash does talk I guess. So sad.

His op went fine. Shoulder surgery. Last Tuesday. Now the (insert name calling) is moving things around and carrying couches and ggrr... with his arm in a sling. Really? Does that make sense? Men!

A poorly arm is nothing, tis but a scratch :D

a poorly arm is nothing, tis but a scratch :D

Gah, again men!

Not to bad Bear, Wishing the day would move a little faster.

Same here adam.

Anyone seen any good movies lately?

Last film I went to see was 'Scott Pilgrim VS the World' loved it great film, :D

I want to go see the new resident evil film though

Heading to lunch now. Not sure if I am hitting the gym or heading home to move some things to the new place. What to do, what to do.
Glad you all came to chat. I will be back.

Ok, see you later Sunny, Working out seems easier than moving stuff. Just my thoughts...

Is that Scott Pilgram movie the one with Michael Cera in it?

I didn't even know there was a new resident evil out. See how out of the times I am.

I'm here. They can't run me off either. The people with attitude can KMA.

It helps with the stress of life to come here and interact with other people from around the world.

Get help, give help. Even if it is just to BS with other members.

I'm here too...

Not only do I enjoy talking to the others on here, I also like trying to help people out. :)

Even the ones who say harsh things to me... ha!

I'm here. They can't run me off either. The people with attitude can KMA.

Great bar you have Sunny :) See you later!

Hey to all who has came by.

Catch you later sunny :)

Hi JMJ, enigma and unky :)

Finally someone who thinks like me. I like to come here to escape when I can. So a big fat cheers to you and enigma for the same thinking.

By the way I went home to move things. We can't move in just yet. But bigger things we can live without we are taking over. The gym would have been way easier your right adam.

Ok no more talk of the other issues in this thread. Officially banned from this thread period. I have no idea about most of it. I caught bits of it. I am not in to the politics of all the site has. So done deal.

Happy happy happy :)

Beers for us all

Hi Sunny - Long time, no see. I'm glad to hear things are going well. I loved your bar picture, and you are right about bar stools. They are so expensive.

Bear - I keep meaning to ask this. What is "reet"?

JLo! Hey there. Well its actually my kitchen and that's my island. I wanted bar stools for the front. But it would sit just like a bar for sure. Haha I have already tested that out.

How are you. Last we talked I saw a picture of a gown. Did it happen yet? I can't remember the exact date so forgive me.

My house is similar, and we use the bar stools all the time - Once in a while for a drink. ;)

It's October 9. I work through next Wednesday. We are driving to Big Sur on Thursday, and having a big family dinner there that night - both of our families. Should be interesting. Friday is fun day - deep sea fishing for the men and spa day for the women. Saturday is the big day, and then we leave Sunday for our honeymoon. We'll be gone the rest of the month. I don't have to be back to work until Nov. 1. Doesn't that sound far away?

I am so excited for you. You have come so far since we first met. It might sound far away but it will come so fast. I remember waiting every minute for my wedding and then bang it was our 5 year anniversary. Where did it go? That's what we kept wondering. I truly want to see pics. Your going to be the most beautiful bride ever. You look stunning in every picture I have ever seen. Truly.

Awww, that's sweet. I will post pics when I get back. Hope you guys don't forget about me by then.

Okay, time to focus on work again. It's getting more and more difficult to keep my mind on work as the big day approaches.

Have a good one. :)

Well congrats and best wishes for that big day. I pray for nothing but sunshine! It was good catching up again.

Hey Stringer, How about them Bears?

Sorry I'm late Adam... blink and 5 pages have gone by...

Yes Bears!! Can you believe this? Carolina next Sunday evening, we'll see.

Carolina is 0-3 so I am sure you have a big chance. I am happy for you Stringer, the Bears needed a big break and I knew it wouldn't be long before they got together and became a team. The Colts are only 2-1 but I am kind of glad they lost one. There is always so much pressure watching them not knowing when the first loss is going to come. Well, they got it done pretty quick this year.

As always Adam the Colts WILL do well as they do every season my friend.

Thanks Stringer. I hope our teams meet in the Superbowl again.

Yeah and maybe this time... :) :)

Just marking my place here. Haven't read back. But I'm here!! :D

Welcome Bella :)

Thanks Stringer!

Make yourself at home I'm sure that sunny will be by in a while. Do you want something maybe coffee?

Hehehe ummm you sure, I'll take that coffee. It's almost 10pm here, who needs sleep?

I'm making a fresh batch of potato chips. Dig in guys!

I have never had homemade potato chips. Are they very good?

(He asks trying to look innocent and hungry... :))

Oh yes they are delicious! :: passes the bowl to Stringer::

I put a roasted rep pepper and garlic seasoning with a dash of slat on them... MMM they are ust like kettle cooked chips.

Sounds delicious Bella. But sadly I am full now, cooked cheeseburgers out on the grill with baked beans smothered in cheese also... also delicious.

Hey, we have Rosati Pizza also but we get the beef sandwiches.

Today was 74 degrees and not a cloud in the sky, beautiful. It is supposed to stay that way until Saturday and Sunday and rain both days. Good for my lawn but IT IS THE WEEKEND for crying out loud!

And yes the cheeseburgers were great gal.

I'm so jealous! 74? Nice.

I forget, when is the Taste of Chicago?

cooked cheeseburgers out on the grill
I was wondering who was cooking outdoors -- smelled wonderful! Watch that cheese intake. You're over 40 now.

Next summer hon. I wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your state very much. Spent three days in Moab, wife shopping, wife shopping and the dinner and a sunset trip on the Colorado River... beautiful, sight seeing and the wife shopping (did I mention that... sorry)

I forget, when is the Taste of Chicago?
It'll be coming up around the 4th of July. Navy Pier. Be sure to be here. 'Gator on a stick. Deep-fried ice cream.

You are so close WG, that was my smoke (smell) signal you should have stopped by.

Spent three days in Moab, wife shopping
My husband's there now for two weeks. Wonder if he's wife shopping.

Well I have a very busy day tomorrow, staff meetings pretty much all day so... night now.

Hopefully I will be in town by then. Oh... how I miss the food there.:)

I'm not worried. He's been hanging around me for 43 years. I always have to point out the cute chicks to him.

It is a beautiful state. That is why I moved here, although I miss Chicago very much. It's been 10 years since I moved, and I try to get back almost every year. The funny thing is, that I am starting to forget the names of streets. For example Rt. 53. Haha

Hopefully I will be in town by then. Oh..... how I miss the food there.:)
Portillo's always asks about you.

For example Rt. 53. haha
I can almost spit and hit it from my front porch. Where did you live when you were here?

Portillo's always asks about you.

Now you're talking.

Italian beef, dipped in aujus, with sweet and hot peps. Mmmmm

AND a big piece of chocolate cake.

I can almost spit and hit it from my front porch. Where did you live when you were here?

Glen Ellyn. You?

Glen Ellyn. You?
Lombard, near the Prairie Path and Finley. (Now the axe murderers will be looking for me with Google Earth.)

Were you in downtown Chicago or which suburb?

Lombard, near the Prairie Path and Finley. (Now the axe murderers will be looking for me with Google Earth.)


Haha I think were good.

WOW we were practiclly neighbors. Not quite sure what your age is, but what school did you go to?

I am near Plainfield or just east of there.

Came from western NY. Went to Concordia-River Forest, married, and eventually bought our starter home here (1972) which is now our retirement home.

Why did you move from Chicago?

EDIT::: I am watching my grammar and spelling you know... :)

I am near Plainfield or just east of there.

Ok, I know exactly where that's at. My Brother attended Marmion Military Academy over there. That was several years ago. I do remember riding out that way. Beautiful area, over there.

Yep we think so too... were we live was a corn field 5 years ago though.

I went to Glenbard South. Are you familiar?

EDIT::: I am watching my grammar and spelling ya know.... :)
So am I; so am I.

So am I; so am I.

Hmmmm... ;)

Well it is work and I am getting very tired so it is time for those cool sheets and pillow cases... night now. I enjoyed the conversion.

Time for some Zzzzzzzzs. (I forgot the period here so I had to come back... oh well)

I went to Glenbard South. Are you familiar?
Of course! My kids went to Glenbard East. My dad (who was from York Center/Lombard) went to West when it was the only h.s. around. Did you know a children's dentist named Dr. Bonus on Duane?

Why did you move from Chicago?

EDIT::: I am watching my grammar and spelling ya know.... :)

I moved out here because my parents beat me into submission. Lol

No, my parents moved out here 11 years ago while I was going to college in Chicago. Every day my Mother would call me begging me to move here. I wanted to wait until I was finished first before up and leaving. A year later I arrived and have been out here ever since. We had opened up an Italian/Chicago style restaurant. I do believe that this is where I will stay from now on. I am hoping that evenutally I will become a "snow bird". Lol However, I still have a ways to go before that.

Of course! My kids went to Glenbard East. My dad (who was from York Center/Lombard) went to West when it was the only h.s. around. Did you know a children's dentist named Dr. Bonus on Duane?

Dr. Bonus sounds very familiar. Was that in down town Glen Ellyn?

Yep we think so too....were we live was a corn field 5 years ago though.

Wow. What a coincidence! I lived in a cornfield 5 years ago. They made me move when they built houses.

Just thought I'd throw that in.
I feel left out of the chat mostly because I am on when most humans sleep.
I'm OK now . G'nite all.

So hung over

When will I ever learn.

What's the spelling and grammar talk about? I am not a good speller and rarely fix it. Is that bad?

So hung over

Whats the spelling and grammer talk about? I am not a good speller and rarely fix it. Is that bad?

Yes. You are a bad, bad girl. :D

Well, we'll help you correct them then :) (And I'll try not to make grammar mistakes =S)

It just happened I swear I don't know how. Lol

How are you today? Flood warning here for the next 24 hours. Fun.

Well, we'll help you correct them then :) (And I'll try not to make grammar mistakes =S)

Oh thanks unky.
Haven't talked to you in ages!

It just happened I swear I dont know how. lol

How are you today? Flood warning here for the next 24 hours. Fun.

I'm in a mood. :D I have to drive to work now... better warn the other drivers.

Oh oh moods aren't good.
Not a good mood? Happy thoughts. Wedding thoughts.

Your puzzle is driving me crazy JLo ;)

I got only one 'yes-ish' that's not fair :( ;)

Hey Sunny, yes, quite some time no see. :)
I hope Gavin's good! (and of course, yourself) :)

Gavin is good. He just turned 7 last week. Starting figure skating in a couple weeks. I was skiddish but I hear its good and will be good if he wants to join hockey. I don't know how to ice skate so I am glad he is willing to give it a try.

What about you? How are you? School?

Good Morning everyone. I feel so relaxed coming here and reading everything. It just seems like peaceful conversation.

Good Morning everyone. I feel so relaxed coming here and reading everything. It just seems like peaceful conversation.

Peace out dude. Ha ha

Its all good here adam. I have no drama. I don't have time for drama.

Yes, school. Big exams in two weeks and I'll have to choose quite quickly what I'll do later on as job to know which course I'll take in uni. And I don't have the slightest idea... :(

Lol, hey Adam :)

Yes, school. Big exams in two weeks and I'll have to choose quite quickly what I'll do later on as job to know which course I'll take in uni. And I don't have the slightest idea... :(

At 37 years old I still don't know what I want to do. Good luck with that.

Okay, I'll keep thinking then. For the time being, I have dinner ready. BRB! :)

What's for dinner? Enjoy.

Hi Sunny - Long time, no see. I'm glad to hear things are going well. I loved your bar picture, and you are right about bar stools. They are so expensive.

Bear - I keep meaning to ask this. What is "reet"?

hi Jlo, no worries :)

reet = right, but that's how it sounds with my accent :o

I know I shouldn't type with my accent, I've been doing it for so long it's a habit that's hard to break :o

How ever you type bear is all reet by us as long as you're here. ;)

Back!

Lol, I didn't know the meaning of 'reet' until now :eek:

There was some broccoli, a salad of potato/beetroot and some fish (called 'Vindaye' the way it was prepared)

It was good :)

That's sounds very good unky. I like fish and would try beetroot. I am sure I would have liked that.

OK off to lunch for me. Not sure about the work out today. Maybe Walmart.

Catch you all later if your still on.

How ever you type bear is all reet by us as long as your here. ;)

Lol cheers sunny :D

Good to be here, cya later :)

Hey Unky

Hey Bear :)

Reet I'm off now, work has finished and hence I must make my escape :)

Cya later

My car is dead.

Dead.

Dead.

Dead.

She's at the garage now,fingers crossed I won't have to sell a child to pay to get it fixed!

Ow... do you know what's making her dead?

And what?:eek:

Oh oh moods arent good.
Not a good mood?? Happy thoughts. Wedding thoughts.

Not a bad mood. I'm in a silly mood. :D


Your puzzle is driving me crazy JLo ;)

I got only one 'yes-ish' that's not fair


Check out the puzzle. You guys are making headway.


Gavin is good. He just turned 7 last week. Starting figure skating in a couple weeks. I was skiddish but I hear its good and will be good if he wants to join hockey. I dont know how to ice skate so I am glad he is willing to give it a try.


Awww, happy birthday to him. He's getting big. I tried ice skating once - I kept doing the splits, and not on purpose.


hi Jlo, no worries :)

reet = right, but thats how it sounds with my accent :o

i know i shouldnt type with my accent, ive been doing it for so long its a habit thats hard to break :o

Okay, thanks. I can't quite figure out how an accent turns "right" into "reet", though.



Red - Hope it's not too expensive to fix, maybe a new battery needed?

Oh oh red. That's not good. If you have a child for sale I will rent one for awhile. That way you have a chance to get her back. How does that sound?

She died at the side of the road,I did the whole 'COME ON COME'the pleading 'please car come one' the 'grrr,damn car'.

Nothing made a difference.

Just have to wait and see what the garage comes back with.

In saying all that,I don't look after her very well and totally depend on her.

I'm a bad car owner!

Oh oh red. Thats not good. If you have a child for sale I will rent one for awhile. That way you have a chance to get her back. How does that sound?


If you can take the teenage drama queen,you can keep her.. totally free...

Really,no charge!:)

Good enough for me. I can abuse her and let her be a sitter like older siblings get stuck doing. I will get Gavin good and ready for his new sister.

Hm... did you check the fuel? Maybe the battery died? Something else maybe that the engine got too hot? And there were not enough water in the radiator?

Red, did you try talking to her and telling her you loved her and you would treat her so well after this if she just starts now? It usually works, you just can't let them know what you are really thinking.

Adam I can almost hear red talking to that car now. Oh and its not sounding to pretty let me tell you. That's my guess any ways.

Red, did you try talking to her and telling her you loved her and you would treat her so well after this if she just starts now? It usually works, you just can't let them know what you are really thinking.

I did adam I did,and then I kicked her and thumped her,and then went back into begging (im talking about the car not the kids,just in case anyone got confused!)

Unky,the whole dashboard lit up,and black smoke coming out the back... not good. Not good.

Sunny,the teenager that's on offer,sleeps a lot,eats a lot,bone lazy,demanding and she's a money pit... I would be afraid for gavin,perhaps you could keep her in the shed?

Well, when I used to have car problems like that, I would try the nice approach first then if that didn't work, I would throw out my real choice of words.

Well, when I used to have car problems like that, I would try the nice approach first then if that didn't work, I would throw out my real choice of words.

Yep,I have a few for the car,and a few for crazy drivers,Sunday drivers and people who don't know the rules of the road,then BEEP me!

It could drive a women over the edge.

To funny red I was sitting here thinking I hoped no one thought you were talking about your kids. But on that thought its like dealing with a kid really.

I am having a feeling that doesn't sound good.

Ouch... smoke is no good at all :( I hope the engine didn't burn.

God, I get stuck behind a lot of those Sunday drivers. It usually happens on a weekday though. I am guessing they left early so they could get back by Sunday, or They just haven't made it back yet.

Ok, so there is a convenient store I got to a lot and it is close to my house and I kind of know the family. Well, the daughter is a Colts Cheerleader and her mom sells the calanders at her store. I went to buy one today and she said they were out but getting more in soon. She then asked me if I wanted her to autograph it so I said sure. She told me to write what I wanted it to say but I drew a blank and had no idea what I wanted it to say. So, I just said she can sign it and that will be fine. Anyway, what kind of things would you normally have someone write? I kind of wished I would have something said, but what?

Okay, I'm laughing at work... I thought of all kinds of things you could suggest. :p

A Colts cheer leader? Isn't that your team? Well for starters you could have her write "thanks for last night Adam, we must do that again sometime"

OK kidding

Lol, I'd have drawn to a blank too :p

Okay, I'm laughing at work ... I thought of all kinds of things you could suggest. :p

We had the same thoughts. I thought of many myself. Silly adam.

To heck with the calender ask to meet her! That's your thinking.

Haha, you guys are great!

I probably wouldn't have to hard of a time meeting her, I have actually met her before. I used to be friends with her brother and I would hang out at their house so I would see her then. I almost caught her naked once on accident too. Oh, and yes the Colts are my team.

On accident (coughing) you right. Tell us another one peeping Tom!

Can't say that I would have cared to see it, but I never did. I was hanging out with her brother and we were playing a video game and she was in the shower and didn't know anybody was home...

You're a good boy adam. A real good boy.

I don't have connections to anyone important. I know a guy who did work on Shania Twains farm or house or something not far from where I live. But he doesn't know her and I am not sure if he actually met her either.

Well, I don't think a Colts cheerleader is exactly famous, but a lot more famous than I. I might actually get to see her this weekend because she is supposed to be home this weekend, so maybe I can get a picture.

Cool.
The amount of food I have eaten today is scary. Truly scary. All noodles to. Three plates full and I mean FULL. Noodles. Noodles are not good for you. Come on! Ugh

Noodles are good though. I split some popcorn with the girl in my office and then I ate some food from that convenient store. I feel miserable still and I think I am coming down with something too. Sore throat and my whole body is very achy.

What are you saying you need a little nursing? ;):p

Are you going to be my nurse?

Eh' them ssshhhhh but I do have a cute little nurse costume, just saying. If needed I can be a nurse. Can't promise you will heal but I can promise results of some kind.

Cool.

Noodles are awesome and therefore must be healthy for you :D

Not the amount I have taken in today. Not to mention the load of butter I had on the last plate. Eh that's fine. Won't kill me I suppose. They were so darn good I just couldn't stop. Not one for will power.

I love noodles :)

And the butter just helps the food to get down easier :D

That's the problem unky.

How is heath doing? I haven't seen her around any threads. I see Muddy pops in and out. For some reason all these people are popping in my head. Like cluff, isn't that his name.

Haven't seen heath for a while either :(

Last I heard I think edith was pregnant again,

Waahaha I think I have a porcupine in my throat :(

Awww poor bellla, I told you not to eat that :(

We are in the same boat Bella

havent seen heath for a while either :(

last i heard i think edith was pregnant again,
Yeah, I haven't seen hheath either.

She got Edith spayed after taking the two boys in to be fixed.

Nope, haven't seen her either... :(

EDIT: Typo corrected

Nope, haven't seen her eaither... :(
She hasn't been on this site for about a week. I just emailed her that we are wondering where she is. I know she was job hunting, so she might have landed a job finally.

waahaha I think I have a porcupine in my throat :(

Bella, I thought Lady taught you how to prepare your porcupine so it wouldn't stick in your throat. :(

I hope all of us start feeling better. :)

She hasn't been on this site for about a week. I just emailed her that we are wondering where she is. I know she was job hunting, so she might have landed a job finally.

I hope so, too. :)

I hope so as well, that would really be great for her :)

So, who is ready for the weekend?

Ok, I'm going to bed now. Catch you all later! :)

Haha Cat, I should have taken some pointers from Lady!

It seems like everyone is getting sick. I hope it's not a new type of flu going around (H1N1).

I hope hheath is okay, I haven't seen her on Facebook either. Hopefully she is busy working, and hopefully all is well with her little furry family.

So, who is ready for the weekend?

So ready
I've been completely fried this week, my head needs to reboot good thing this weeks been rather slack to be honest

Laters unky, have a good one :)

Aww I hope you feel better soon too Adam. I know you told me not to eat that but it looked so tempting as a shiskabob.

Well good to know someone else is ready too. Unfortunately, when I get to the weekend, I am just going to lay in bed all weekend to feel better.

After becoming part of the working world, I can apreciate doing that even more than last year when when I could get away with doing that for most of the week

Unfortunately I've got a few things that need sorting, there isn't no rest for the wicked :D

My father keeps telling me I need to drink a hot toddy. But something about hot whiskey and lemon juice doesn't do it for me. I did find a recipe with warm ginger ale and whiskey, might help with my laryngitis... I'll make one for you too Adam.

Not sure why but I've been right off alcohol this past week :(

Reet, going to call it a night, ill see you later, take care :)

Thanks Bella, I sure could use it.

I am calling it a night as well. Later!

Warm milk and honey is good for that. The honey coats yor throat.

For hot drinks you can drink hot DrPepper and rum. Or add some bailey's to your favorite coffee.

my car is dead.

dead.

dead.

dead.

shes at the garage now,fingers crossed i wont have to sell a child to pay to get it fixed!

Snap :(

If things go wrong I don't even have children to sell :(

And its raining :'(

Hello all. Morning bear. You all reet?

Raining here too.

Had a busy spell catching up on some gardening, getting all the fruit and veg harvested before it spoils, cleaning the shed out, doing some maintenance on the guinea pig hutches before winter, christmas shopping - I like to have mine finished before the end of October so I made a start. Time to start buying ingredients for the christmas cakes next, which I always make mid October so I can feed them booze from then until December so they are lovely and moist and mature and rather naughty :). Am I a bit weird to be doing all this winter and christmas prep already lol? Especially as I spend a day playing christmas carols and drinking sherry in the middle of October when I'm baking the cakes...

Yeah I'm all reet thanks :)

Hope your doing well :)

Your not weird, weird is that in work they've already started playing christmas songs

'hippopotamous(sp) for christmas' ring any bells?

It now rings in my head constantly, albeit they might just be playing them to piss our boss off but its kind of like cutting off your nose to spite your face :D

Morning!
Christmas already is awesome to me! I love it. I love the prep for it and the entire build up. But on December 26 I am done with it. Its like a switch and I turn it off.

I better not get a "virus" from all you sickies out there. Gee whiz I feel great and now almost feel bad.

Afternoon sunny, christmas for me is a monthly thing doesn't matter if its past the 25th or not :)

Hey bear
Christmas is monthly for you?
I don't get it.

Hello, I feel horrible, hope nobody else gets to feeling like this. I accidentally coughed on my computer screen but I cleaned it off so hopefully nobody catches it from me.

Aw... you got a cold? :(

My best wishes of get well soon! :)

Thanks Unky, I think I have the flu.

Aw... prepare the hot tea with lemon, the oranges and any citrus fruit you can get. They're rich in Vit C and will greatly help fight it. Lots of fluids and plenty of rest if possible.

hey bear
Christmas is monthly for you?
I dont get it.

Sorry

I meant its usually celebrated for the entire month of December

Advent calendars leading up to it (your never too old for an advent calendar)

And in my family we have a fair few birthdays around christmas and after it so more partys leading up to new years eve, christmas decorations stay up of course so it still feels christmasy even though its past, if you get my meaning :)

Great movie.

Thank you Unky! I am trying to get plenty of rest roday. I am at work unfortunately. I was to greedy to call in to work. But I have still got in a lot of sleep today. :)

How are you Unky?

I don't know I haven't seen that movie

It's the kind that has a little chocolate for every day so when you get up in the morning you open the window and have the chocolate, leading up to the 25th :D

i dont know i havent seen that movie

Yes, it is the same thing that the movie had but I wasn't sure, but yep, it is. You need to see that movie, you like comedies don't you? Also, if you like Billy Bob Thorton.

Fine thanks! :)

I still don't know what I'll do later on in life though :(

How about your application to join the police force?

Fine thanks! :)

Unky, you are the smartest person that I know so you could do anything you want. Just make sure it is something that you love to do.

As far as the police officer job, I would love to have it but I don't think I am going to try. I kind of don't find it stable and also I am to out of shape to pass the phyical tests.

That's the problem! I don't know what I will love to do...

There is astronomy/space science
There is research
There is medicine
There is engineering

I don't know what I'll like :( All of them seem like I'll enjoy myself.

I know for one that medicine will require long years of study, and that won't be that cheap and will surely take up much of my time later on. For the rest, I don't quite know what it takes.

Just be thankful you have the oppurtunities to do what you want. Is there a way that you can visit some places you may want to work someday?

Yes, it is the same thing that the movie had but I wasn't sure, but yep, it is. You need to see that movie, you like comedies don't you? Also, if you like Billy Bob Thorton.

It's a christmas themed movie, I can't watch it

I formed a severe allergic reaction to them after watching home alone 3.

Seriously it could kill me, and I can't take that risk :(


Unky, have you done any work experience as if you ask at places that do the types of job your interested in they might allow you to see what actually goes on there day to day and that will help give you an idea

Also you don't have to pick one place to do work experience, you could say work a few days at each of the places that will allow you to

Oh Bear, it isn't bad, but yes it is a Christmas themed movie. About a guy who plays Santa at shopping malls but he is a drunk and a thief. Funny movie. A lot of profanity though because if you know Billy Bob Thorton you know his love for profanity. I was beginning to think if he did all of his movies drunk also. Haha.

Let me guess he reforms his ways thanks to the christmas spirit of a child?

I'm kind of getting itchy just by hearing it :(

Well, for medicine, I have an idea. For engineering, I think I know who I can ask. BUt for the others... not the slightest clue :(

But until then, exams before thinking too far =S

Yes. Now, it's bedtime for me again.

See you later guys! :)

Well, I won't go into details. I liked it, you probably wouldn't though.

Laters unky, have a good one

No worries :)

I thought I seen J-Lo here for a second, but then I refreshed the page and she was gone.

That was Lindsey Lohan (LinLo). She was poking around in J_9's stuff, looking for drugs. Some of the guys took her out for a beer.

What is the most quick way you can think of to forget your worries/troubles?

Hi all. Is it okay if I join in?

I had a really long day and it's only 4:30pm here.

This morning I get a call from a Home Depot in another town telling me they found hubbies wallet, so he should come pick it up.

Um, Hubby didn't go to Home Depot, he came home last night and had left his wallet in the car after going to 7-11.

Ya, car got broken into, wallet stolen, no cash in it but credit cards etc. So apparently the thief went to Home Depot to do a little shopping. Even though this makes me really mad, I have to laugh. All our credit cards are at the max, can't use them.

I bet the thief is wishing he'd taken more than the wallet now. ;)

That was Lindsey Lohan (LinLo). She was poking around in J_9's stuff, looking for drugs. Some of the guys took her out for a beer.

Me? Beer? Drugs? LLo?

Oh, my head hurts.

Me? Beer? Drugs? LLo?
Now I'm not sure WHOM (yes, that's correct English) they took out for a beer -- or drugs.

Who is WHOM? Certainly not me!

Who is WHOM? Certainly not me!
Check your pockets. Do you have drugs? Beer? Starlight mints?

I don't have pockets!

ALL nurses have pockets!! Don't you wear a floral or cartoony smock at work?

I'm not at work tonight. :p

And, I only wear pink, white or royal blue. :(

All drugs are behind double locked doors. ;)

Nurses were always coming into my hospital room and carrying little white fluted paper cups with pills inside. Or a needle thing that they shot into my IV. Those always made me feel real good.

Up bright and early. Who is here?
Taking my son and some of his friends to Chuck E Cheese for the night. I say for the night because its three hours one way and another couple and there kids are going with us. I will be in Judy's area. That's the closest place to us. Bringing a sitter so we can head out on the town with the other couple going. Fun times. Kids will have fun and then mommy will go out and have fun. All will be happy.

Up

Not bright eyed

And deffinetly not bushy tailed

Grown... :(

I'm up too...

Good Morning, anybody around?

Good Morning Stringer! How are you?

Good Morning Stringer! How are you?

Hi Adam.

Went to bed around 1:30 AM and I was up at 6, couldn't sleep. And the weather s*cks, rainy and cold today, tomorrow is to be the same.

Started putting up my Halloween displays yesterday Adam. I wanted to finish today but it has to stop raining first.

I put up a hugh grave yard on one half of the front so far with lights, big black coffin with a large skeleton inside with a black crow picking at its head... still have tons to do...

Sounds pretty interesting. Can't wait to see some pictures. You are going to post pictures right? You are getting rain there? You are lucky. I hardly remember what rain is. I think in the past month, we got around .28 inches of rain or something. It has only rained like 2 out of the past 66 days here. So so dry.

Hey Adam! Feel better today? :)

Hey Adam! Feel better today? :)

I am a little better today, thanks for asking.

Good then, I hope you'll be totally well soon :)

Get well Adam.

This is the first rain for the last two weeks.

Hello Stringer! I hope you are okay :)

And I can't wait to see the pictures of your masterpieces :p

By the way, Halloween is on the 2nd of November, right?

I am fine Unky thanks for asking bud.

As you already know I love doing this and I will probably keep adding to it for the next week or so. I intend to post some pics later.

Unky Ihaven't checked the calendar however I believe that it is the last day of October.

How are things with you?

Adam are you still here?

Bears play again in the spotlight Sunday evening against the Giants... Eli is due to come alive again...

They are good, thanks for asking :)

There is plenty to do though. I'm always feeling that I'm not fully prepared for my exams... And under time pressure, I tend to rush things. I have a lot of practice to do. And I'm longing for those exams to end... though I don't have any idea of what to do afterwards.

Unky, carry that positive aggression through out life and it will keep you 'ahead of the curve' my friend. I like what I see Unky.

Thanks guys.

I am not sure about Eli anymore. He was good but it seems like something happened and now he just isn't good anymore. You never know though.

There is a pool hall in my town where I play a lot of pool and every week there is a 5 dollar buy in and you pick every team that you think is going to win and whoever has the most correct get the pot. Beating the spread is what makes it hard though. I have the Bears winning so I hope they pull through. I think they are going to have a good year.

I love it all Adam no doubt. (BUT) I am watching with wide eyes expecting something to happen. I do love the winning feeling but I think Bear's fans are expecting something to bad to happen...

Well, I think when you are used to dissapointment that is all you can expect. Do they have any tough opponents this year? Do you ever do any fantasy leagues?

Thanks Stringer, I'll try my best :)

Well, I think when you are used to dissapointment that is all you can expect. Do they have any tough opponents this year? Do you ever do any fantasy leagues?

Yeah we cherish the '85 Bears Adam.

I don't have time to get into any fantasy leagues although I do a couple line betting sheets but just a little. You know just pick the winner thing. One is on line with HGTV's Pro Picks, it's fun and not time consuming.

I have to check again but yes there are some teams down the road that will cause them 'fits.'

Well hopefully they can get past all the tough teams, I feel it is better to lose a game or two and go farther than rather have so much pressure of that undefeated season like the Colts did.

This year is really the first year that I got a fantasy team, so far I am 2-1 but the loss was a barely loss. I think I have potential to beat most of the people I play but it really just depends on how well my players do. Like when the Colts played the Giants I got screwed by manning because he wasn't throwing too much and they were running the ball more. Last week, Manning and Collie got me a combined 54 points so that was very nice.
