Oh, I'm here, I'm just so booooooooring, you couldn't see it when I posted. Okay, I didn't post. My :headache: is almost gone. I love typing :headache:, it's more fun than just typing the word.

I'm still 184. Yay me. However I desperately need exercise. I have no excuses. Somebody push me out the door.

Sounds like a really fine person, just the kind I would want to entrust my money and my soul to.

Actually, if everybody sends me $15, I will gladly tell them how to work in their home.

I am sooooo sick.And yet I am here at work because today is payday and there is no one else who can do paychecks. And also because there is no one else to fill in for me. I have a sick-migraine. The kind where I'm sick all over from the top of my head to my toes. Feel sorry for me.

The moral is, as long as there are ppl stupid enough to send him money, he will be thinking up scams.

I have ppl coming to my house in less than 48 hours with plans to play bunco. I am sick. My house is a mess. waaaaaahhhhhhh. :bb:

Oh Poor Wabbit!!
 

My sweet DD had to go to work, but she stopped by w/ a Chicken Caesar Salad & a banana so that I wouldn't have to strain my poor achin' noggin by going to get lunch. Wasn't that nice? She takes after her mother.

Kiwi, I think GP is the company that owns a mill in eastern Oregon that our friends work at. It shuts down every spring, until they're just about starving, then when they almost give up and find other employment, they call them back. It happens almost every year. Unfortunately, they're the only game in their little town.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm---pulp and paper towns-----that is my town in a nutshell----without the mill,we would disappear---oh i forgot---mill owner runs a giant oil refinery as well-----must smell great here,eh????? ----- step dd's are still here from Colorado,so computer time is very limited====CAN YOU IMAGINE SIX KIDS WHO LIKE TO "MSN" DESCENDING ON YOUR COMPUTER????JUST PICTURE IT--- i will be back in full force next week-----KIWI DID YOU GET MY EMAIL ABOUT THE PHISH CONCERT?????? I NEED TO KNOW IF I CAN SEND A BUNCH OF TEENAGERS TO LIMESTONE????? kiwi won't answer my email,everybody!!! {whinnnnnnnnnnnnnneee] someone make her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bagzie-dear, are you using the right address???? I'll send you an email and you can reply.

You have such a sweet DD, Wabbit. Of course she must take after you. How's the ol' head? Yeah, that's the same co. that enjoys gobbling up mills in Maine and spitting them out.

Everybody has to go get a Mormon name, it's a hoot -- The link is here in my diaryland page . To convince you, here's mine: Kaltighanna Starbuck -- what's not to love?

Going to hot doings in small towns today: Dd's guitar teacher and her friends are singing at some expo. Rumor is that one of their songs involves flannel shirts and suspenders and refers to Wild Women. Then we are going to Chicago (finally) and out to dinner, possibly staying overnight in the "big city" since it is snowing right now and will no doubt be too messy to come home tonight. Oy.

Ooooh, a new game!

Wait until Peaches and Lush get their names in there. Hilarious! Would be worth having a couple extra kids just to try it out.

Wabby! I feel your pain! Poor you. Awful that you had to work.

Just got rid of a 5-day :headache: :bomb: :headache: :bomb: myself. Sick from head to toe. Kids have Easter holidays now so I can sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Bagzie! My brother (the one not called Marty) and his wife are thinking of moving to Nova Scotia. Is it cheap there? They've gone to check out jobs and houses. Guess you'll be able to wave to each other across the Bay of Fundy, eh?

Kamicia is out partying tonight====Cherisy is excersising-----Debbilyn is playing Bunco and i am going to BED-----put yer clocks ahead!!!!

Very odd
 

I found out that if you capitalize your name, it comes out quite differently than if you use all small letters.

I love DD's name: Josephinie Miracles Precious One -- but if I capitalize her name, it comes out a relatively ordinary Zephanie Charlesye.

I told you it was addictive. I'm fooling around with all names trying to get the best ones. DH is now Dartanyon Jocoby. Too bad he wasn't born a girl, then he could be Thankful Flood Miracles Precious One. Now there's a name!

I'm deciding between Acia Danai Miracles Precious One, Brindie-Jade Miracles Precious One, Kierika Charlesye, and the ever-popular Kaltighanna Starbuck.

I'm torn, Patches, dear. I would have to wonder why the library would want a credit at the used book store??? Don't they usually buy new books? Yeah, if you have to think about it all, I'd say you could have traded them in yourself. On the other hand, you could add a 5th thought: "Thank goodness I got rid of all that crap--now I don't have to think about them ever again" I'm not sure it will work, but it's worth a try. ;)

It is winter again here: we drove about an hour and a half in the driving snow this afternoon, visited this tourism expo, listened the very entertaining musical group, drove another hour in the driving snow, had drinks and old home week with some friends, went out to dinner to Appleby's (where I was surprised to find good food and good service -- ain't always been so), went back to their house and decided to head home. It wasn't snowing anymore or hardly any, but the roads were messy and it was slow. I drove home (because I said I would and so DH had a good bit of wine) and had a stomache-ache by the time I pulled in the driveway 2+ hours later. Long day. But fun.

We ended up with about 5 inches of snow (so far). DH will probably have to put the plow back on the truck :bomb:

Kaltighanna

It didn't happen to me, Kalti, but it did happen and the books were pristine. I'm curious about how your dds name and MiaMoo's name are the same. Suspicious isn't it?

Yes, you're right, I've been wondering about that. Hmm.

It would make a difference to me that the books were in perfect condition. This wasn't just a general donation to the library, right? It was especially for the book sale. Seems to me that a library book sale is a two-way street--the library gets some extra funds, the public gets to buy a bunch of books at a low price. Library didn't do their part.

is "the public" a plural noun?

Brindi-Jade

Actually Brindi-Jade would write this message more like this:

Hi y'all. I swear that was just coincidink that DDs name is the same as MiaMoos!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA

You're poor friend, Peachie honey, did she get upset with them at the liberry? She must be an angel given away all her nice books.

How do you spell public?

Love, Brindie-Jade

P.S. It's still snowing here! Wow, it's like winter again! Deja Voo all over again!!

P.S.S Where all is everybody? I got a new thong I want to talk about!!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!

Hey Brindeeee---yer losin' it----kiwi---did you get the braggy brag picture of dd that was in the newspaper---i can't figure out why you wouldn't have my email as i sent it to the same address that you just wrote to me.............................

DS and I just went to see Bringing down the house which sounded a lot like a recent post. There are no good moview. All predicable and involve bathroom jokes. I'm just too old I guess

Did you guys notice I created my own colors????? colours????

Very impressive, m'dear. (I toned down the size a tad) How are you concocting these delightful tints? I'm reading about rgb values and HEX values, and I doubt I have the patience to come up with my own. I like to go through a list of colornames I have from a website and pick one.


Kaltighanna, in an attractive Kiwi color

Taking HTML in school? What are you talking about? What class is that? He's taking art, algebra, English and Life Skills. There is no HTML class at any school I know about.

COMPUTER CLASS??????-----CAD is what dd16 calls it {what that means i do not know} Computer Assisited something??? that is where they would teach HTML----we used to use it at cybermom didn't we <h> blah blah blah </h> blah blah blah??????...............................-----this winter weather is depressing me---i think my fat gut is depressing me as well---it think I was happier when i weighed ten pounds less than this but i can't remember...............

Pick me! I know!
 

CAD = computer aided design

HTML = how to make lunch (or something)

I know nothing about making that #00000 colour. Cherry knows stuff like that. She can make a thousand shades of purple, right Cherry? How's the points? My points for today are at about 55, I'd say, and it's only 4:20 p.m!

My dd is having her big play this week. I have NO time...but naturally, there is a teensy bit to waste here.
It is snowing. Who sent this south? Those Canadians?? I am mad at them again. I feel they have taken this stance on Iraq just so they would look smart and we would look stupid. If they were real friends, they would have looked stupid with us.
I use HTML on my new cleaning forum. I feel so talented. I have to go exert some energy on this place.
See Ya,
LeeAnna Honey Dawn

I'm back and my headache's gone. :) Going to mormon websites is dangerous. You could all end up w/ young men in suits, riding bikes on your doorstep. Then before you know it - bam!- you're a Stepford wife.

Bunco was a success. Not that there has ever been an unsuccessful bunco night with our group - buncha women, fattening food, lots of fruity drinks, all wearing our fat pants so we can eat all we want - can't go wrong with that. :lol:

It's not snowing here, but it's nasty cold, driving rain. Not springlike at all.

Lushy, what's DD's play?

You're right, Peach. Good movies are few and far between. I want to rent Far From Heaven. My sis said it was excellent. Anyone see it?

yESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHat is your dd's play---stagemamma here wants to know-----i get the feeeling you 'mericans are not gung ho about the war-------if i lost one of my family to this war,i would be quite mad at the commander in chief!!-----as i was telling missy honey dawn---i wish life were a Broadway musical!!!!!!-----name me a fat heroine i can emulate.

Wish I had this snappy comeback...
 

Back when I was single:
- Save Your Breath...you'll need it to blow up your date! :lol:

Yes, Peachster, we have computer classes up here in Snowville. We have to prepare our kids for what they'll be doing during the annual 6 months of winter--otherwise they might spend it all in front of the TV...:dizzy: DD's entire class was informed last year by the dopey middle school guidance counselor that they had to take the general computer class or they would never get into college. We had our doubts because the class consisted of keyboarding for god's sake and other basic things they had already had for 9 years by then, so we investigated and found that no, indeed, they didn't have to take that class. DD was interested in a more advanced computer topics class, so we got her in that. One of her friends followed suit, and the 2 of them are in a tiny class (about 7 kids, I think) with upperclassmen, doing Power Point projects and HTML projects. They love it. Meanwhile every other freshman is taking stupid basic computer stuff they already know. The school also offers a CAD class, but it is separate. People who go into Drafting need CAD skills, among others.

I'm glad you're over your headache, Wabby, Bunco sounds like fun as usual. I will go find your Mormon name if you're askeered. (Of course it isn't an actual Mormon site--they don't have that good a sense of humor) You can choose from: Jacoy Ellxis or Aeronny Annellie. Personally I prefer the ones you get by not capitalizing your name, they're more off the wall.

Gotta go contemplate dinner. Things are taking a further depressing turn here in IdleVille: DH has been offered a job, not for the mill, but doing the same thing, but the pay is significantly lower and there are other unrepeatable drawbacks (hey, if he takes the job, I can't be saying negative stuff, you know). He has to tell them by Friday, so he will be busting his butt all week exploring the alternatives. One is a business run by a guy he has known since high school -- he does machine lazering of designs on wood. His company makes big plaques, clocks, chair seats, wooden lids for souvenir candles, big cribbage boards in the shape of Maine. Mainly he puts the designs on the wood and other people make the finished product. But anyway he is looking for an investor/partner and DH is looking at that. Plus his group of fellow employees is having a meeting with the new mill owners tomorrow. Many irons in the fire, I'm just trying to stay out of the way.

So what did I say I was going to do? Oh yeah, dinner. Tell us about dd's play, Lush!

Kaltighanna the Kiwi-flavored Starbuck

Hello- DS14's school had a bomb threat today. Everything shut down at 1ish and they sent them home at the normal time (without coats or backpacks because those were still in the school.) I'm glad he's okay, but I'm annoyed that this could happen and the parents don't even know about it for hours.

I took my doggies to a new vet, one who was actually nice to me! Yay! My pointer has a heart murmur, which is scary, but he says it's "grade one," so it shouldn't affect her. She's almost ten years old. They have to go back next month for heartworm tests and shots.

We did our taxes. My God, make an extra dime and the IRS takes 20 cents.

I don't think WW likes milk. Four glasses (recommended by pyramid) takes up a third of my points. And that's skim! My healthy breakfast of cereal, skim milk, and fruit costs 10 points! A single peanut butter sandwich costs nine points. Tonight, we're having breakfast burritos- I haven't even done the points on that yet. Probably at least 11. I can barely afford today's menu, even if I exercise-- and I'm already hungry! I guess this means always being hungry.

Cherisy

Kiwi- good luck to your DH! I hope he finds a good alternative.

that is why i HATE WW Cherry-----everything is too expensive,---i find it depressing to have most of my points gone before supper-----that diet has never worked for me----there is a guy here they call the "Diet ****" and people are dropping pounds galore---my hairdresser lost 93 pounds,one of my good friends has lost 23 pounds since January-----want me to find out what they are up to????

Tanks in Dogpatch?
 

That's not right.

I'm a lot depressed today (see pitiful email forwarded to everyone). Tell more jokes.

Here's some:

Two peanuts walk into a rather rough bar, not looking for any trouble.
Unfortunately, one was a salted.

A sandwich walks into a bar.
The barman says "Sorry we don't serve food in here."

A dyslexic man walks into a bra..

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"

A woman takes her sick parrot to the vet. The vet looks at the bird, and says "I'm sorry ma'am, but there's nothing I can do. Your parrot is dead." The woman says "no! that can't be!" The vet says "Just a minute. He returns with a black lab. The dog takes a look at the parrot, looks at the vet and shakes his head sadly. The vet leaves, and returns with a cat. The cat takes a look at the parrot, looks at the vet, shrugs, and shakes his head sadly. The vet hands the lady a bill, and says "Theres nothing I can do, your bird is dead. The lady looks at the bill, and says "A hundred fifty bucks, and all you did was tell me my bird is dead!" The vet says, "well if you'd listened to my first diagnosis, it would have been $20, but then I had to do a cat scan and lab report....."

Marchella, I'm shocked. Didn't your nanny teach you how to spell?

Today's joke:

At the data-entry company where I* work, the other operators and I
share a coffeepot. One morning I took it into the ladies room to
fill it with water. Then I began preening in the mirror, brushing
my hair and reapplying some makeup. I didn't realize how long I'd
been until someone slid a note under the door. "You win," it read.
"Any ransom demand will be met. Just release the coffeepot."


*Please note that "I" does not refer to me. I don't preen. Or work.

Gotta go wash my hair.

Peaches, are you sure that camoflage isn't just the newest color for pickups and road graders? I think after that giant bomb they dropped on you guys, they ought leave you in peace.
