Yay! Thanks, Charms! I bet you all will like the little guys, too, their names are Skyler and Shadow....and they like to sit on my shoulder while I'm at the PC, so if anyone finds a random bird on them, blame me! =)

It's fowl!

(((((All in need or not)))))

Long days and pleasant nights

[Autumnlyn]

Hile! Just wanted to pop in and say HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND to all my 'tet'.

I'm thinking of starting a thread about True Blood. You know how its always a mystery about who is doing what to whom etc., maybe a thread for predictions or insights? What do you think and TB fans in the cantina? Good or Lame? I just am yearning for a good thread that isn't so...

[Charms7]

Hi,

Been sampling the 'alfalfa' behind the barn again, Charms ? LOL

Or is it always so colourful?

Long days and pleasant nights


I can't keep anything secret from you, can I?

[Kim L.]

Have a great weekend, everyone!

[Ri The Lousy Translator]

I shared the 'alfalfa' with StoryTellerRose. Shhhh!

Happy Monday Everyone!

It seems you only shared a little bit with her. :wink2:

(after John's witty "discoveries", I'm afraid to write in colors). :oo:

[StoryTellerRose]

hahahaha, Charms! Yes, we were in the alfalfa. Thanks for that introduction! Now for the herbal brownies I've heard so much about.......brewhaha!

[poisonbat]

Day two at school. I was so tired last night after homework that I fell into bed and passed out. But I feel great this morning and am looking forward to another day. I will make it. I have faith. :grinning::bat:

[Spideyman]

Good Morning to all. Bright and sunny here this morning after some strong storms last evening.

Poisonbat, you will do just fine in school. Take it one day at a time and don't be afraid to ask questions.:wink2:

You can do it! Some days it will take everything you have to make yourself go to class, but if you put one foot in front of the other and keep focused, you will make it. (I know whereof I speak; I went back to school as an adult for nine semesters, working full-time and going to school full-time.)

You can totally do this.

[mstay]

Greetings everyone!

Is there enough room for a nOOb at the bar?

Always! Welcome and make yourself at home Mr. Palmer.:biggrin2:

I'll be over at the beanbags reading.

Have a great day everyone!:love:

[LadyPain]

Good morning folks! It's been a rough few days, but things are looking up a bit. I need to grab a four-shot latte with vanilla syrup, I believe...

Have a great day, everyone! I have two days off! *does a happy dance*

[Ri The Lousy Translator]

Spidey, hope you're still dry and safe, as well as other SKMB mates living in Florida. Prayers coming your way, folks! :love: All the wildfires contained at CA? Hope so. You too take care, guys! Many CA members too.

Poisonbat, it's great you're at school again. You're gonna make it. You might feel rusty, but we're all sending positive vibes for you!

Welcome Mr Palmer! (I feel I'm greeting a teacher). :biggrin2: Make yourself comfortable. We're a nice group. We always have food, any beverage you might want, there are many critters, so do what you want (just keep it silent at bean bag central). :wink2:

LadyPain, forget the rough days and enjoy your days off. :cool2:

Charms, leave some alfalfa for the critters! :laugh: (and that's for StoryTellerRose too).

Oh... darn alfalfa... it just sticks to you...

[Mr. Palmer]

I appreciate the welcome!

This seems like a warm fuzzy thread. I do believe I can dig it!

[wulfhurley82]

boo!

[poisonbat]

Boy did I screw up at school yesterday. I am a firm believer in being early to everything in life, but yesterday was ridiculous. I was 2 months early for my speech class. :eek2: It does not start until Oct 22nd. No one ever told me there was such a thing as a 8 week class that you got full credit for unless it happened to be in the summer. :laugh: Oh well, NOT having this class right now helps me out so much, I can get caught up on my math. :bat:

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!
Happy Wednesday! Welcome, Mr. Palmer--pull up a beanbag.
Good to see you guys; I've been a little busy the last couple of days & have missed you. Large hot coffee please, & I'm off to work. Bye!

[Spideyman]

Good Morning to all. It's Pizza Day at noon. ( yes, we'll keep one in the frig for you Cowboy:wink2:)

Hope everyone is feeling well. This month seems to be flying by.

Kim, slow down and relax.

Large Herbal tea in hand and off to bean bag central... all welcome. Come join us Mr. Palmer.

I have to choose an argumentative subject for my research paper. Anyone have any suggestions? We have argued many subjects here on the board. Gun control is OUT!! No Abortion rights, just a subject that can be simi controversial and still be argued well. :eyebrow:

Good Morning, Everyone!

Happy Friday! I can see the weekend and it looks very good. Large hot coffee please and some of that apfel strudel. Going to start a new Neil Gaiman book (M is for Magic), hanging out in bean bag central.

I believe I would like a crisp, refreshing Coca Cola Classic this morning. I'd really like to try one made with real sugar; I hear there used to be such a thing.

[dragafari]

Have an IRIE weekend I-veryone!

Time to relax, it's always nice to come to the Cantina, drink something and chat with friends after my father kept me hacking a damned thing for hours. I'm tired now.

[LadyPain]

I need a bottle of Stoli, no lid.

I'm being screwed over at work. Two distinct possibilities. The first possibility is that there is a bonus for the managers who can cut their staffing costs. I make 25% more than the two supervisors below me who are getting my hours, which they don't even want. I might be the one being sacrificed in order to get a bonus.

Possibility number two might be that something discriminatory is going on but they are being careful about it. I had a bad allergic reaction at work less than two weeks ago to someone else's snack - peanuts. I have never asked for anything other than for people to just TELL ME if they have eaten nuts so I could give them some room, and to maybe wash their hands before they handle anything else. That is all. This time the manager said she was going to talk to the staff. I have a sneaky feeling that some of the long timers (20 to 30 years indentured servitude there) protested and pointed out that I have only been there for a few years. I'm worried that I am being pushed out of a job because of my health. No matter how I feel, or what I react to, I have always done my job. It's really only a mild kind of a disability when it comes down to it, but I am afraid they are using my health against me.

The one person that normally tells me everything, one of the assistant managers, was acting kind of strange on Friday when I had to work with her.

I'm the one who would always find a way to fill in and save the day. They've given me some really dirty jobs and I'd do it without hesitation.

This is the treatment I get?

I have asked for a letter of reference so I can find work to supplement my hours. I'm actually hoping to find a job to totally replace that one. I would prefer to be kissed before I am f***ed, ya know...

I'll take any good vibes any of you can spare.

[LOTUS]

Of course,LadyPain!

Please,have all the good vibes you need!
:love::love::love:

[Kim L.]

I need a bottle of Stoli, no lid.

Sad news, LadyPain. I'm sending my best vibes too. :love: Let's hope it's nothing bad at all.

Hope everyone had a nice Monday today, guys. :love:

As I told some friends here, FINALLY doc appointed surgery this Wed, so yes, Galli, :biggrin2: I'm bringing a bag full of all the best wishes, nice thoughts, good vibes and prayers that you already sent me before the failed surgery.

Wishing you all the best for tomorrow (or TODAY, when MsMod posts this message. :wink2: See you all!

Good Morning to all. Hope the night was calm and restful. Let the new day begin.

[poisonbat]

My day off from school today. But not a day off really. I have soooo much to do today. My son broke down last night when taking his friends home. He was 50 miles away, right where his... uh... "father" lives. The radiator hose had sprung a leak and he was low on power steering fluid. Well, Mr. wonderful would not spring for the 15 bucks to fix the car, he tried to rig it. I finally sent AAA after him, I did not want to risk the life of my son getting stranded along side of the freeway where a multitude of things could happen to him. His "father" did nothing but cut a piece of the hose off and reseated it. He told me that the hose was weak, I told him if it is weak then it could burst, could you PLEASE just put a new hose on it, he refused. $15? Really? You sons safety is not worth 15 stupid dollars? :eyebrow::glare::glare:

Ok, sorry for the rant.. It was just a very frustrating night. :bat:

It's nice to be here and that's just the plain truth.

Everyone have a nice morning, evening, or day (depending on the time zone you're in, at the moment).

Good Wednesday to all. Sun is not up yet, so not sure what the day will be like. Called in the pizza delivery for noon. Cyber free calories, so enjoy!

[poisonbat]

My day off turned out to be the day from hell. I got a nice early start, got to my first destination and wound up locking my friggin keys in the console of my car. I wrapped them up with my GPS and stuffed them inside. That cost me over an hour. :glare:Thank God my dad was here to bring me my spare set. It just seemed that everything that I tried to do yesterday took 2x as long as it should have. I tried to cram 2 weeks worth of stuff into one day. I wound up getting home from all this bs at 4:15 (I left at 10am) I then did my homework that I put off yesterday until after 8pm. My husband was kinda pissed at me for not spending any time with him. :down: But what am I to do? I am not a super hero, just a plain old human. Maybe today will be better, don't know. I will take a large energy shot this morning.. :bat:

[Spideyman]

[wulfhurley82]

Well Mates, I don't know where to start and where to end with a palaver best left alone mayhap. The woes of love and sorrow of the failure of the delicate tower that is built. There is all kinds of discordia in my world at the moment and all I do is sit in the Todash Realms. Always alone, always restless and looking for the next dust devil to ride on for a trip off into the yonder. I hope you Mates are doing well. Laters, One of the Lost Wolves.

[ally88]

Hey guys and gals :smile2:.

My mother is having a knee replacement operation at the moment, whilst I am sat here twiddling my thumbs!
I cannot go visit until this evening and I am a wee bit stressed out today...I hate waiting.
As a nurse I am very good at the whole "everything will be fine yada yada" routine, but it certainly is different when a member of your own family is the patient!

Ah well, moan over...phew, feeling kinda better already :smile2:.
Have a nice day y'all.

[Sundrop]

Good morning, Y'all! Hope the sun is shining and everyone is well and happy on this fine Thursday. I need chocolate..... :)

[poisonbat]

Morning all. Happy Thursday to everyone. I went to my second Karate class last night and it was great!! I have lots of homework to do today, so I will be busy. I just get so stressed out with Math. I am expected to remember what I learned in the previous class, bad thing, that was 13 years ago. I wanted to retake this math class as a "refresher" course, but I was ineligible because I got an A in the class. Had I got a lower letter grade I could have retaken it. :glare: So I will take a large green tea this morning and be in bean bag central studying.

[Ri The Lousy Translator]

First off, prayers for Ally's mum who needs surgery. I'm sure you're right, those who work in the health area are used to all the speeches we constantly hear when we need you, but it must be hard being a patient or having someone dear... She will do fine, Ally! Prayers!

Secondly, THANK YOU VERY VERY VERRRRRRY MUCH for all the good vibes you sent me these last days for the surgery. That part of me (sorry, boob it is:down:) is feeling quite comfortable. But my right eye is giving me a hard time. They said it was a reaction to atropine or so. They checked my eyes for pressure but they were already fine, but the eye did hurt and cried like a river, so they gave me some drops (can't use the eye too much still, it gets tired and sore).

I did the most idiotic things under anaesthesia. Mum and Gaby had a hard work trying to making me silent. :biggrin2: There was a newly mum on the other bed, and they were all laughing at the silly things I said. And when I cried falsely (like a kid faking), they asked me if I was in pain, I said no. "And then why do you cry?". "Because that's what the anaesthesia does to me", I said. What a dumb... I hate propofol, made my stomack bad (it attacks the liver indeed). All I could think was how M. Jackson would wake up every morning after that "treatment". It's awfulllll!!! All the drugs they put me on a controlled room, they were horrible to say the least.

Anyway, diet, lots of fluids, plenty of rest, antibiotics. I shouldn't use my left arm, but since I'm not in pain I do it. I guess I'll tie it with a scarf later to remind me to stay the hell quiet! :glare: The lump looked benign my doc said. However it went to the patologist.

OK, will come back later for a while. I just wanted to THANK YOU ALL once again for the prayers. The Ka-tet is powerful indeed. :love:

Thankful prayers for it, good vibes to all in need or not. God bless the SKMB-tet! :love:

Hi guys.
Thankyou so much everyone for your kind wishes today. There are so many nice people here and threads like this remind us of that fact.
My mother came out of surgery fine. She is very uncomfortable at the moment, but hopefully the pain will be short-lived and her recovery will be fast.

You are all so lovely, thank you :smile2:.

[wulfhurley82]

(((((((((((((((((ALL TET MATES IN NEED))))))))))))))))))))

I not sure what is going on, nonetheless I send out as much love, prayers, hugs, and good vibes that a tired soul can at the moment of recovery.
Next month sober for 1 year and another year to being drug free that is total of 3 years. I have been writing for my therapy instead of seeking drugs.

Take care, Wulf.

Did not have the best of days.
I was asked if one of my collegues /and I am also his boss/ should be fired.:glare:I did not hire him,so I don't think I should have been involved.His keeping his job for now,but it was an ugly situation.And I do not think I will ever get used to situations like that.Not sure also if he had to keep his job.Hopefully he will deserve the chance he was given.
Anyway,I need something strong - maybe a Jack Daniels to cool my nerves.:biggrin2:
Have a great weekend everybody!!!!

[LadyPain]

Hello folks. I hope you all have a great weekend. My days off have ended, and today I get to go back to work with the knowledge that management is waiting there to give me hell (Again.. part TWO) for something. Kind of makes me wish I'd won the lotto. Anyhow, wish me luck and hold me in your thoughts if you can spare a moment because I already feel like crap knowing what I am walking into in a few hours.

We have a bad fire burning here in Yucaipa. It started yesterday afternoon. Don't know if it is out yet, it wasn't when I went to sleep last night. This is just 4 1/2 short miles from my house and 1 1/2 from my mom. They hit this fire very hard with a massive air strike including bombers and even a DC 10 and helicopters. http://news.lalate.com/2009/08/30/oak-glen-yucaipa-fire/ This is just a few short miles from my home and even closer to my mom. Very scary afternoon yesterday. But we are still here and alive :grinning: It is not as bad as the Station fire that is going on. http://laist.com/2009/08/31/station_fire_update_1230_am.php?gallery0Pic=2 So much devastation. Makes me sick. Plus trying to breathe is difficult. :glare: Hope things are all good with you, I'll take a large fire extinguisher to go this morning. :oo::bat:

[Spideyman]

Good Morning to all. May this week be a good one for all.

Poisonbat, the Ka-Tet shield is placed over you and your mom, and all in the fires pathway. If Mother Nature could only bring you some of the rain the southeast has been having.

To any and all who have to leave due to fires, the Whereforth Art Thou soical group can be used as contact back to the SKMB.

Please be safe. Good vibes to all the firefighters, as two have lost their lives already.

Good morning everyone!

Kim, I love those cookies, they're almost too cute to be munched, :biggrin2: but... can I have a couple of them? Thank you!

Having an herbal tea already (now with cookies), and wishing all a nice week. :love:

Hello everyone! I hope this message finds you all well, and if it does not, know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

It's been a long time since the last time I posted anything, but now that I'm back at school and things have calmed down, I hope to be posting more often.

Stay gold. :smile2:

[LadyPain]

Hmmm... it's official as far as I am concerned. I have to find a different job and get the hell out of my current one. I saw one coworker last night, a good person, and she looked so guilty, and then looked like she was going to cry. Her face said more than enough to confirm my suspicions. Something discriminatory is going on and management is covering it up. I'm betting it's related to the last peanut incident. Maybe they have decided that having a nut anaphylactic on staff is too much of a liability, even though they are not supposed to discriminate on the basis of health.

Anyways, it kind of felt like the nails in the coffin were brought out last night at work. Three weeks ago, I was wonder woman to them, and now this.

I'll take any good thoughts because it's job hunt time. :biggrin2: There are better places than that...

Now.... a drink. I think it'll have to be a four-shot latte with vanilla. I need the caffeine quite badly.

[StoryTellerRose]

Hey all! Happy Monday!

LadyPain, I might have a job suggestion for you, if you'll PM me or something.

Off to bean bag central to crash till the hubby gets home........

Started work on my 3rd full-length MS. September will be a month of working on it, short stories, and the 2nd draft of my 1st MS.

Btw: My new book is supposedly coming out this week. It's been delayed since June, so we shall see...

Anyways... give me coffee, black!

[PianoMan]

Hey guys,

I'm new to the board here...I personally have read a few Steven King books but haven't quite read as many of his books as my wife has. The main reason I decided to sign up for the board is because I noticed that my wife was having A LOT of fun here and just cracking up all over the place and thought it would be fun to join. Some of you probably know her, she's been here for a little while as I recall...I think that her Username here used to be StoryTeller and now is StoryTellerRose.

Thanks! :biggrin2:

[Spideyman]

Good Tuesday to all.
Let us hope our POISONBAT and her family are safe. She was packing last evening and preparing to leave due to the fires.


More rains my way- was planning to do yardwork, but I'll just stay in the Cantina this morning.

The fire here is bad. They made us leave last night but allowed us back this morning. I left my kids and animals someplace safe due to the terrible smoke. It looks like fog this morning. Here's a couple of pics.

Ditto to that!

Days off! :biggrin2:

So, I'll need a bucket-sized latte to go with extra vanilla syrup today because I am planning to make soap after about seven weeks of not doing it. I have some catching up to do, and for once, I am actually looking forward to it. Besides a couple of very nice kinds of soap today, I might make some other body care stuff as well.

Poisonbat, I hope they get those fires out quickly. I'm in a high fire danger area as well. It's been drier than a popcorn fart here this year and we are always worrying. (((((poisonbat)))))

Folks, thanks for the good vibes. You give me hope.

Hey there! Hope it's ok if I wander in. Joined the Board a little while back - and thanks so much for all the nice welcomes I got. Just now getting in to posting, kind of new to this. In all honestly, I'll probably go in and out of it, but I'll try and get with the program. It's just nice to be around like-minded people!

Anyway, if it's all the same to you, I'd love a Nutty Irishman! (just take an Irish Coffee and add some frangelica and whipped cream). Yep, that'll do me!

Just a quick note, they finally have the fire pretty much contained. It has moved away from the city and in to the uninhabited hills. It also rained at bit yesterday out of no where?? Thanks for you prayers Spidey. I don't think I will have to wear a mask today, it looks much clearer. I was not looking forward to wearing it at school. :glare::bat:

[Ri The Lousy Translator]

Good morning, fellows!

Good to read Poisonbat is safe! I really hope it rains a lot there for everyone to be safe for sure.

Ms. Mod, I hope this one doesn't break any rules. If it's a problem, then do what ya gotta do. :biggrin2:

I've been working on editing some content on a website (including a bit of my writing) that I am involved in now. It's woodworking-related stuff, tools, etc. If anyone is curious what I'm up to, PM me and I can let you know where to look. I'm also one of the Moderators there. :)

Anyways, I'll need a couple of those 1-litre sized Cokes today. Need some happy-juice and the extra little bit of yippee that that much sugar is going to pour into my system today.

It has been a crazy few days for us :oo: I am happy to say that they have got OUR fire under control, but the fire in LA rages on. :sad: My days are filled with Algebra these days. What nonsense Algebra is, when am I ever going to use this??? :glare: My English teacher is kinda crazy,:eyebrow: but I am doing well in that class, although I did receive one B on a quiz. It was my fault, I did not prepare well for it. It will not happen again I assure you that. :bat:

I'll take a sandwich Spidey, thanks! And a large coke too LP.:smile2: I'll be over in beanbag central reading. Come join me if you'd like!

Hi,

Have a great (long) weekend, everyone !!!

And especially Ms Mod, who certainly deserves it, particularly with all the work and extra hours working on the tour, and her other travails.

Thankee, Ms Mod - VERY much appreciated!

And a good weekend and Labor Day (Did I spell that right? LOL) to all our American cousins.

Hi,

Good Whatever Everyone !!!

And I trust everyone had a very good weekend and a good week in prospect.

I certainly did and I was at my grand-daughter, Jennifer's, first birthday party on Friday, which was a great party and she was in good form, if a trifle bewildered by the number of people present, but there were some strange little bits of ka that I'd like to tell you about.

When we left our house to go to the party there was a beautiful rainbow in the sky and rainbows have always been regarded as a sign or portent in my very Celtic family.

My daughter, Lisa, said 'That's a present from Mum' and we thought no more of it.

Some hours later my son, David, brought in the cake with it's single candle and, lo and behold, it was decorated with an identical rainbow!

And in conversation David told a story about a fridge that I hadn't thought about for years.

Until Friday morning when I'd been writing about the same story.

And finally, when we left the party it was a full moon shining in a cloudless sky.

You can't make it up, can you?

Hope all is well with you and yours

((((All in need or not)))))

Long days and pleasant night

[poisonbat]

Hello all, and thanks so much for the birthday wishes. I had a great birthday. I got to see my niece that I have not seen in about 4 years. She is mentally handicapped and has a tendency to be violent so my sister sent her away to live in a group home 6 years ago. Unfortunately they only go and see her twice a year. Once on her birthday, and once around the Christmas holiday. It broke my heart to see her, she did not even recognize me at first. We went and had lunch together on my birthday (hers is the day before mine) and it did my heart good just to have that connection with her again. :love: When we got home we spent the rest of the day watching movies as a family. My husband washed and hand waxed my car for me. I swear I could put my makeup on just looking at the side. :cool2: I miss you all. My time here has really been cut short by school. :down: I seldom find time to keep up with all of the threads, so I have to pick and choose. :bat:

[Cowboy]

Been riding....lots...hope I didn't miss too much. Have a great day people.

Good Tuesday to all and welcome back MsMod and all returning Ka-Tet. Hope the past few days has been good for everyone.

Hello Everyone!

My weekend ranged from hellish to not-so-bad at work. They had another one of those staff-killin' promotions without adequate staff again. Saturday was a write-off, Sunday was just 'ick' and last night was not too bad. I have to work again tonight, then I will have a couple of days off! Wooohoooooo!

Lots to do today to prep for tomorrow.

I do believe I will need a four-shot latte with extra vanilla syrup to get me through my day here.

[LOTUS]

Some hard days at work are coming.Besides I have plenty to put up with now...stuff I am NOT thrilled about.I could use some good vibes,although I don't think the situation can get better.:glare:
The weather changed in a day here.Saturday was a hot summer day,Sunday -cold wind,thunder and rain.I had to find my boots,jacket and autumn blouses.
The good thing is that this weather increases my desire to curl up under the blanket with a good book.:smile2:And as every year,when the nights begin to shorten, the idea about rereading The Lord of The Ring starts to pop up in my mind several times a day.I will give it another month or two and then start the journey again.:love:Afterwards another winter reread - the DT.:smile2:
I guess,those cold rainy days will turn out to be quite good after all.:love:

HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYBODY!!!

[Kim L.]

Happy Tuesday, which feels like Monday to all of us who had Labor Day off. Traveled over the long weekend to stay at my brother's house with all my siblings and assorted in-laws. There's simply no people on earth I enjoy more than my siblings. Family is good. As the saying goes, we put the "fun" in dysfunctional!

Nothing for me thanks. Still recuperating from the weekend.

Well, last night at Karate did not go so well. I was practicing with a partner and he clocked me in the eye, nearly knocked me out. I fell to my knees so hard they are both bruised, and now I am sporting a beautiful black eye. :glare: All this guy said to me was "Hey you missed your block" Not once did he say he was sorry nor help me get up. I lost a little bit of myself last night. I did not cry, I did not even call out in pain. I have been hit by men bigger stronger and angrier than him, but his attitude pisses me off. I have not had to hide bruises with makeup for a long long time now, but I guess it is a good thing that I know how. I have a dentist appt today and can't go looking like this. :down:

Ah, Kim - if you give me an almond cookie I'll be your friend for life. :)

Did anyone else get the new Beatles Rockband? It is amazing! I believe it was invented to keep people from doing anything else, really. "Helter Skelter" is a lot of fun to play, and the graphics and designs for "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" are totally psychadelic.

[LadyPain]

Greetings folks! Yesterday we lost power for four hours. The WHOLE VALLEY was out. They had what they are telling us is a 'circuit failure'. I was in the middle of making soap, but thankfully, I had not opened the lye yet. I picked up where I left off later last night.

What I did do for four hours was read. I read 'The Gunslinger' all the way into the sunset with my back to the sun so I could see the pages with the light that was left. Then, I read the first 1/3 of 'The Drawing of the Three' by candlelight. Now, that's a GREAT way to read SK books. Nothing quite like the flicker of a series of small flames. I had enough candles going that it looked like 'Phantom of the Opera' in my kitchen.

Today I need caffeine, so I do believe I shall take a four-shot latte with loads of vanilla syrup to go!

[Ri The Lousy Translator]

First off, thank you Lotus for your good news. I hope the nice luck is contagious. I need it badly. :down:

I only stepped in to wish you a nice day to everyone. :love: I'll be back when I'm in best humor. Things are getting messy around here. This has proven to be a challenging year for us, and I'm really tired. Still hoping for the best though... (yes, Spidey, will try to at least). :wink2:

Have you noticed what a bad page number to post on? Gives me the creeps... Marsha, please erase this page number, and step to 667. :laugh:

Somehow depression has settled in on me. There is no reason for it, it just happens once in a while. :down: I am trying to pull myself out of it. I am not going to let it get me though. I had a wonderful weekend, went to 2 car shows and came home with one trophy. I got to see some friends that I have not seen in a long time. I am hoping that this will pass quickly.

I'm sorry poisonbat. Just hang onto those good thoughts and feelings when they come by as best you can. When nice things happen, we suck up that good energy so fast, there isn't any to linger and maintain that euphoric state we crave so we need another hit. I understand that. Just try to keep those happy feelings in your memory to draw on. It's tough to do.

[Spideyman]

Good Monday to all.

Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes.

There is cake and ice cream for aeveryone. Had to blow out the candle- didn't want to burn the Cantina down:blush::blush::blush:

Well, I got home from work tonight with the knowledge that I have one day off this week. I'm working for someone else on Thursday now. Tomorrow, I will make soap.

I got a letter of reference from one of the managers, but not the original one. I have a feeling she was holding out on me because she is very corporate and all I am is a human resource to her. The other manager looked like she was going to cry when she handed it to me. She knows there is a chance that I may leave if I find a better offer. I'm hoping first of all to find supplemental employment, but like I said... if the offer is better... Anyways, she wrote me a nice one. Short, but very nice. She also gave me back my original request note with it. Perhaps to keep it from other eyes? Who knows. Anyways, I can now hunt for work with less worries. It helps to have a hard copy of a good reference.

It's late, but I am going to stay up and watch a movie. It may only be Monday, but it IS my Friday night. I think I'll take a chai latte to go, and may you all have a lovely day once this post makes it up!

Well, instead of quitting Karate as I wanted to, I went to a different DoJo last night to see if he could help me to pass the class at school. He is very patient, but for some reason there is some sort of feud between "American" Karate teachers and "Japanese" teachers. :eyebrow::confused::umm: Weird stuff. I don't know if this will help or hinder me. Gotta think about this.

[Kim L.]

Good morning folks, I do hope everyone is having a beautiful day. Any cookies left???

I always save a plate of cookies for you, Cowboy.

[LadyPain]

*wanders in late with a bucket of fresh, wriggling, juicy mice for the snakes*

I'll take a late night latte please... but not decaf, and it needs whole milk, and vanilla syrup. No sense in drinking a gutless wonder...

What a night at work. It was busy and now I have to try to unwind. Maybe I will go for a midnight walk.

[Spideyman]

Good Thursday to all. Have heard from our Marianne-"Can you let every know that I'm thinking about them but things are a bit stressed at the moment with everything (work/family). That would be great, thanks."



Another rainy day for me. Large herbal tea in hand and heading for bean bag central. All welcome to join....... Buckwheat and Pyro are resting in the far corner. :sleepy:

[dividedgrlofmine]

Hey all! I hope you all are enjoying life, realizing it's both beautiful and complicated. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. It's been a great week and it's only getting better. :biggrin2:

[poisonbat]

Morning all. I am really looking forward to this weekend. Route 66 car show is going on and it is a HUGE car rally. There will be close to 600 cars there. Only drawback is that it is supposed to be over 100* on Saturday :down: Oh well, maybe we can go at night. :bat:

[Spideyman]

Good Morning to everyone. Weekend is just around the corner.

Hope everyone will have a great weekend. Stay safe.

Large iced herbal tea, summer refuses to go away . Off to bean bag central. All welcome................

Hi friends!

Just passing by to say hello and send lots of possitive vibes to all my friends...

I would ask for a drink here, but I already drunk too much by today (I'm starting to celebrate my National Day/Week.)

Peace, Love and I-tection!

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,
Have a great weekend everyone !!!!

And I trust everyone has noticed that the MB is closed on Wednesday and Thursday next week?

((((((All in need or not)))))

Large Irish coffee please

Long days and pleasant nights

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

And Pee Ess.

I just found out that my son, David, will appearing in a BBC2 program called 'The Monastery' where he will spend ten days in a monastery with TV cameras, more details to follow.

Woo Hoo!

Long days and pleasant nights

[poisonbat]

I guess I will take a double espresso this morning and all the good vibes you all can muster up. I have my first math exam this morning, I guess it will be a very telling day. Maybe I should have waited to rejoin the honors society until after this test. I hope I don't blow it. :down: I have studied for several days, so I guess all I can do is try my best. Wish me luck...:bat:

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Good whatever everyone !!!

I trust everyone had a good weekend and a great week in prospect, all good here except for miserable wet and windy weather (again!).

Good luck, Poisonbat (you won't need it)

Whoooooa, poisonbat...MATH...I feel for you. I hated math (maybe because I sucked at it), so I know how nervous a math exam can be. But if you studied, then you should have little to worry about. GOOD LUCK. :eek2:

[Kim L.]

Good Monday to all and a good start to a new week.

Same here--10 degrees above normal for the rest of the week. Ready for autumn!

[Charms7]

Just a quick hello to everyone. Prayers for all who need them. And there are many of our Tet-Mates who need them. Have a blessed day my friends!

[mstay]

Happy Fall Y'all!!:biggrin2:

Good Tuesday to all. May there be peace in this valley.

Since the MB will be closed Wednesday and Thursday, Pizza delivery will be today at noon, and Buckwheat and Pyro will take a mini vacation this week:oh:

Safe trip for MsMod. We will try to be very good "angels" while she is away.

Well, I did my best on my math test. I think I did well, but we will see. I did however get my first English Essay back yesterday. Not only did I get an A+ on the paper, she wants to use it to teach future students how to write.:cool2: She asked me who I learned to write from, I proudly told her Stephen King.:laugh: Instead of her text books, I used On Writing as a reference. :rofl: Now tell me who the best writer is. :bat:

Hi,

Great news on your essay, PB, and I'm sure your A+ surprises no-one here.

Fingers crossed on the math test (but we have faith in you!).

Whoooa, Poisonbat, we seem to have a few things in common. I remember back in the mid 90s when I was taking a creative writing course in the University and I handed in a short story that my professor liked so much he actually submitted it to be published in a creative writing magazine. When he asked me where I learned to write, I said from every Stephen King short story (Night Shift, Skeleton Crew, N & D), and he gave me the most "are you sh**ting me" look, that I actually burst out laughing. He then went on to say that there are a lot of "better" writers out there and I should get to reading them right away. I said thank you and told I will do that (I did, but SK is still my fave).

What did your professor say when you told her that SK helped in your creative process? :eyebrow:

[rjt65]

We r in full Fall her ein Long Island NY--got that crispness in the air--low 70's

Welcome Autumn--sure would like to see some of it; we have temps in the high 90s all week. Squirrels are panting in the shade instead of storing up nuts for winter.

Congrats on your A+ essay, poisonbat; and best of luck on the math test!

[Jaedpact]

Guys it was 91 degrees F here in Dallas yesterday. Today we have yet to break 70. It won't last, seems like it never does. But this weather is great! Dallas weather, if you don't like it stay a while it will change :)

Grats on your essay! Good luck on your Math!

On Writing is my writing bible, poisonbat, and very, very soon, I'll be getting business cards that have the word 'Editor' under my name. (I already have my arts related business cards.) I'm allowed to let the cat out of the bag now. I'm working part time as an editor! Won't pay much at first, but I get final call on the written language where I am. There are three associate editors below me who help with the technical details and submit some of the articles, but I already have a byline in my own name as well. (No more ghost writing!!!! I get the credits now!)

I had a late night dancing, and I NEED caffeine. I'll take a large ANYTHING as long as it's jet fuel and comes caffeinated.

Have a great day everyone!

I am proud of you, girl, so proud!

[Spideyman]

Welcome back MsMod. And a good Friday cheer to all. Still hot in my land. I hear some parts have frost and even snow.

Buckwheat and Pyro enjoyed a quiet day in the gardens yesterday and promise to return next Thursday. "Special hay" delivery in the barn!

[Gelata]

Hi all. I hope everything's ok.
My computer has been 'out of service' for ten days, and just this morning I got it back from 'hospital'.
I want to say a big-big THANK YOU to all of you for the many birthday messages I have found in my profile. I am touched. :love: Thank you very much.

[LadyPain]

*wanders in looking for caffeine*

Hi folks! I slept with strange dreams last night. Of course, falling asleep while watching 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' might have something to do with it. The weather is gorgeous here and I only have a few more shifts until my vacation time starts. The little rotters at work tried to schedule me to work during my vacation, so I left a note reminding them that I am unavailable from Oct 1 -10. No way in hell will I work during my vacation. I don't care how screwed for staff they are. They can get some of those belligerent long-timers to work the ugly shifts. It might do them some good.

A four-shot latte with lots of vanilla syrup sounds about right...

[Kim L.]

Good Morning, Everyone!

Wow, this is the last week in September already. All the stores are full of Hallowe'en decorations, not to mention Thanksgiving stuff and dare I say it (gulp) Christmas.
How about a little treat to start off the week?

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/222/517161705_32752b6e8d.jpg

Large hot coffee please and one of those!

[Spideyman]

Good Monday to all. Indeed, the last week of September.
Kim, hate to tell you, saw Christmas decorations in several stores this weekend:down:

Thankee kindly for the treats. Yummy. Still hot here, but promises of 50's at night later this week. That means native borns will soon drag out winter coats:laugh:

Yes, the Xmas ads have started here too, Spidey (sigh)

Good day folks, I'll be taking some flat ginger ale. I woke up sick with the flu yesterday morning, although all things considered, it's mild. It hasn't gone to my lungs this time. *insert a giant sigh of relief* My stomach is in misery and I'm warm and achy, but that is it.

I'm still going to work. I caught it there. May as well get paid to be sick.

After tonight, it is more or less vacation time as I am not scheduled on the two days prior to the start of my vacation.

Going for another tattoo on Thursday! Woohooo!

:biggrin2:

Good Morning and Good Day to All! Whew! Looks like we survived the withdrawal symptoms many of us were having yesterday from losing contact with our Tet-Mates. So glad to be back here I could dance like a frog in a blender! I won't. But I am feeling that giddy.

He had installed some new security software updates that didn't seem to be affecting the public side of the Board but were (and still seem to be) affecting the Moderation and Administration sides so had to shut things down for a while to try to get the bugs worked out.

Hi,

I thought the same, Spidey.

You just gotta love technology where 'toss uour cookies' becomes a technical term, don't cha?

I thought "toss your cookies" was the same as "lose your lunch." I got a chuckle out of it anyway. Now I'll just go slink back to Blondeville. :smile2:

I'm not blonde (at the moment :smile2:) but that's how I would have translated it, too, Charms. :smile2:

Are blond men also in the "dumb" category ?

No, one of my posts just showed up there. I was getting problems like oops broken link, getting thrown off the web site and Internet Explorer not connected. I just put another anti-virus/security program on my notebook computer. I think it may have something to do with all web sites security. I changed the settings and then a post of mine showed up. My posts have showed up before. And yes, Jordan, I upchucked, I mean cleared my cookies!

Hello everyone. It's 01'20 am here, and I can't sleep. So, I told myself, Get up and pay a visit to your mb friends. And here I am.

I also was at a gig on Friday night -Jaime Urrutia. I wish you had been there because it was absolutely great. Kim and John, you had really enjoyed it!
