    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?

    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?

    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.'
  • Oct 2, 2010, 07:13 AM
    adam_89

    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.

    Good Morning, where has everyone been? Colts are now 2-2, what a shame, but then again what are the chances of making a 59 yard field goal?

    Morning Adam! :)

    I'm over another sort of puzzle by Morgaine called short mysteries :)

    Sorry to hear that... does that mean they are disqualified or only get less points in the ranking? If the former is true, sorry :(

    I can't do the puzzles anymore, I suck at them and I am always late or not around enough to work them.

    The Colts still have 12 more games to play this season. Hopefully they make it past those 12 games and go to the playoffs but at the rate they are going, they won't make the playoffs. I always wondered what it felt like to be a fan of a team that was only decent and not awesome. So when you watch a game, and you never know the outcome until the final minutes of the game.

    Also, I think Peyton Manning gets so bored playing football, he likes to get down by a couple of touchdowns and then he tries to come back to make it interesting but sometimes he just doesn't make it. Haha

    Well seriously it was fun. But I rode a mechanical bull. Not once but four times! It was a blast. I am so bruised. I was gripping so tight with my legs that the inside of my thighs are now black. Huge bruises. I have never bruises like this and I have totaled three cars. Fun, it really was.

    I don't think that it is motivation Unky as it is some players don't have the experience or talent needed.

    It was fun and for the record I was sober. I have to say I was terrified at first of falling off but the padding around it was awesome. It was even fun falling off. Sounds crazy I know. I have pictures that the hubby took on my cell. Not sure how well they will load here but I can try. To fun.

    Adam - We miss you at the puzzles. Morgaine and I tried really hard to find ones you didn't know already. You don't suck at all. It was fun playing with you - puzzles, that is. I didn't do anything but play puzzles with you. :o

    Sunny - I've ridden those before and they are fun. I've even ridden them with another person - you'll have to try that next time. It helps to have some drinks first. :D

    Countdown... 3 more days of work.

    I can't stop thinking about it. :D

    I just had a huge blow out with one of m "best" friends of over 5 years. She was the type of person that expected you to be at her beckon call all hours of the day and night, but Heaven forbid you need her, because then you are just hateful. Sigh, I don't know how to deal with selfish friends. I'd like to say forget about them, but that's something I was never able to do...

    What's going on Sunny?
  • Oct 4, 2010, 10:15 AM
    88sunflower
    Well there isn't nothing major going on but I am always put last and am sick of it. Its my friend who lost her son a few months back in the truck crash.

    First I know she is having an affair, me of all people after what I went through don't approve. But she has been using me as her excuse to meet this guy. So I let it be known I don't like that and she keeps doing it. Well I let it be known to a guy her husband works for that I wasn't with her all these times. Didn't say exactly what she was doing but I am not getting in the middle of it. She stops using me as her excuse or I come clean on her.

    I bent over backwards when she lost her son. Spent $100 in stuff to make her food and took a day off work to spend with her at her request. We go shopping. Little did I know she used me to meet her boyfriend. A week after her son dies she uses me to meet her boyfriend! I had no idea until we were face to face. GGrrr... so I call her every day and let it be known she can call me for anything. I sent cards and flowers. A couple weeks after that all settled with the death she comes in my work, sits down and writes thank you cards for her friends that she was going to meet personally to hand them out. Hmm... that kind of stung. I haven't seen one yet. I don't need one but the point is don't write them for your friends in front of me and don't acknowledge me about it.

    So today I mention something about lunch. She is all for it. We plan lunch. I get an email from her that she can't do lunch because Lisa called they are going to lunch. Hmm again, didn't she have lunch plans? With me?

    Sick of it. These are a few and minor. I am always put last unless she needs something. I know for a fact when she comes in my work she needs something.

    Ouch... sorry to hear this Sunny...

    I don't know how to cope well with selfish people either... I just try to ignore them. I noticed that they sort of always manage to get out of trouble. =S

    I know unky. I guess most of all it hurts my feelings. Poor me. But I like to give 200% when I have good friends. Just seems I get 75% in return. I am over it.

    You have to get 200% in order to give 200% Sunny. Sounded like a good thing to say. Probably stupid but anyway, I am sorry your friend is so crappy to you.

    Hey Stringer and JLo.

    My son was excited. It was his idea so we just said to heck with it lets do it. Moved the beds over and stayed. It was a bit hectic this morning not having everything we needed but its getting together.

    Decorating is the best part Stringer. I keep buying everything new and we can't really do it. But I am doing it anyway.
