Well, I've only seen a couple little sun breaks this week. Other than that it's been gray, gray and more gray. I'm sooooo getting paid back for gloating about our sunshine last month.
Effin spiders don't really bother me. I don't mind effin snakes either. It's the effin mice that give me the willies. Eeeeek! Sugar, I think I went on that same museum trip about 14 years ago. Just hearing about it made me want to take a nap. Good luck on your job interview, Peach. Have a lovely weekend the rest of you cowsies. Tomorrow I turn 49. And thats what I'm mad about today. |
I'm mad that I didn't know it was Wabbo's birthday.
Bagz, what are your girls majoring in? Since all of Canada is talented, is it performing arts? Your family is the most talented but lots of Canadians are on tv here I think. I know it's too early to talk but I'm awake, my eye itches and so I got up. When do we discuss the Mermaid Chair? I'm on chapter 5 or 6. It's short. TPBM is effin mad. Period |
one dd is in arts and the youngest dd {first year} is in Business/Commerce.I HAVE A GIANT HEADACHE AND IT'S MAKING ME VERRRRRRRRRRRY MAD!!!!----WE HAVE HAD SUN OFF AND ON ALL WEEK---NOW IT'S ON. I NEED PILLS--- i was watching the royal wedding but it's boring compared to the one i watched in the middle of the night in 1981!!!!now THAT was fantastic. effin spiders--------- i hate any effin bugs---but since it's gardening season-----------I HATE EFFIN SLUGS AND CUTWORMS!!!!!-HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY WABBY DARLING---HAVE A GREAT ONE!!!!

Happy Birthday to Wabbit!!!
:hb: :dance: :flow2: :hb: :sunny: :balloons: :hb: :gift: :cheers: :hb:
Hey, I'm mad about being 49 too! So here's to us! Originally Posted by Bagzz: Today's the big day for dd and her show choir.

Later gators. TPBM got up on the right side of the bed for a change. :D Kiwi |
OHHHHHHHHHH!!! CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT DD'S PERFORMANCES!!! GOOD LUCK DEAR GIRL!!!! {AND MAMMA TOOOO!!!} tbpm is skipping mass tomorrow and will light a candle for the pope at her home.{????}
|
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Beautiful Wabby!
False. I haven't been a mass goer, ever, so I'm not skipping it. Church has pretty much fizzled for me (long story) so I'm not even feeling guilty about that. And the only thing that gets me to light candles at home are power failures and the promise of a GREAT cabernet at dinner. WIAMAT: I am mad that I let my self go so long and so badly. I am mad that other people can have "issues" that don't show. I am mad that changing my food/eating/weight will probably make my "issues" even MORE OBVIOUS. Acccccck. [COLOR=SeaGreenI didn't know we actually picked the Mermaid's chair. I LOVE IT. I don't remember what chapter I am on. I am very suspicious of the Abbot, though. I won't say more... Do we need to start a separate thread? or do "Send to all" e-mails?????[/COLOR] Look ma, I'm part of a group! I feel SO included. Much less lonely. I want to know what the photo of the brown lump actually represented. It looked wooly. |
The brown lump represented spring. It was formed by a melting snowbank which was pretty dirty. I have bizarre tastes.
The performance was AWESOME!!!!! DD did an amazing job on her solo -- it's just too bad it was so short!! It was just one verse of Piano Man. Originally Posted by : 'Twas excellent.

P.S. I just got an email from someone I know that contained the phrase "Ricky tooked the photos". Brilliant.
|
Hi all,
I would love a video. Kiwi, the show sounds great. Is she going to continue with performance after she leaves hs? Happy birthday Wabby. pEACHEZ, did I miss your day? Happy happy if so. I could rant about this stupid science fair, but I don't have time. I no longer pretend that the boys do the board with me. I just do it. This makes me a model parent because many, many don't let their kids do the experiment or the report, either. It doesn't matter,we never win. To win you have to donate a ton of $$$ to the school and I'm too cheap. Bagzie, I loved the 1981 wedding, too. He should just step down and let Wills be the next king. Update on me: my house is no longer oatmeal and cream? It hasn't been for about a year. I hope the interview works out, too. Though I suspect that all jobs suck in their own special way. Painty, I'm pretty sick of having issues, too. All I can say about people whose issues don't show is...yes they do. They just show in more socially acceptable (usually nasty) ways. These ways are far more destructive to the people around them. I have cut myself off completely from my family except for my cousin Patty. It has changed my life. I also wear $1.00 glasses. I buy them 10 at a time. DH went to see about getting the surgery but he is not a good candidate because he is an old fart. I'm having company today, I should do something. XXOO TPBM(I feel that because I am so infrequent I am intruding on someone else's joke) BUT TPBM is still remembering that no matter how unattractive her issues are, they aren't half as icky as Jane Fonda's. |
So true Lush-patron-saint-of-sojourners.
Went to church this day and loved it. They had lunch. DS and I ate with two other single women, one of whom writes rabid letters to the editor about good-Bush bad-Democrats. She has brilliant children and gave us information. And she said that "College is a pretty good environment if you aren't bothered by liberal idiocy." I replied "there is conservative idiocy, too" but that did not over well. She clammed up and refused to agree. Lunch was yummy. I have read all about Pope John Paul in Time magazine and now like him very much. "He was the best pope the Jews ever had," they said. Plus, he apologized for the inquisition and other pushy stuff. TPBM wants to know what colors Lush is using now and why she didn't tell us in the first place. |
Ain't that the truth. I saw her on Letterman though, and there wasn't the slightest mention of her icky early orgy mess. She talked about the North Vietnam stuff, and it reminded me of several other well known people who have been exploited/used by the "enemy" in the past. I feel sorry for her in that way, because I can see how a person who wants so earnestly to do something positive could let that cloud their judgment and then they get in over their heads before they realize what they've really done. I guess, unlike me and Jane Fonda, most of America doesn't make mistakes.
Originally Posted by Lush: Yes, DD is very interested in pursuing music beyond h.s., but isn't sure about majoring in it because she has a lot of other interests as well. This summer she is taking a 3 week course in political philosophy or something at Brown. She thinks she might major in Poli Sci or International Relations. But she keeps taking up new instruments, and writing songs, recording things, playing with other kids. A few weeks ago, a teacher who works with the local access TV station (a very new enterprise mostly run by teenagers) filmed her playing 2 of her own songs and they've been running them frequently enough for people to be stopping her at school and around town to comment. I haven't seen it because we don't have cable. I suspect she would like to have 2 college careers, one where she does nothing but music and one where she does everything else! Blah blah I do go on and on. What did I tell you about Sunday afternoons? :blah: I should be outside. I could um, play in the mud or something. TPBM thinks that on a scale of ICK, Jane comes in third behind Michael Jackson and Charles/Camilla. Kiwi |
Oh, yes, I want to know what color Lush's house is too!
This is how long it takes me to post a message :rolleyes: Today 02:49 PM Cowpernia Today 03:20 PM Kiwonk |
False. She's ahead of Charles/Carmella.
I'm confused about the speed of message posting. Are you fast or slow? Lush is right, of course, that all jobs suck in their way. However, when you have a boss who gives you papers to FAX and instructs you THREEEEEEEEE times to take the staples out before you FAX them, EFFFIN beat that! And this in front of a person who was there to interview her. TPBM didn't know that in Barcelona they speak Castellano and not Spanish. |
True. Like most Amer-cans I am mono-lingual. :(
I am achy. Between yesterday's walk and gardening, I will ache when I get to sleep... I hope that it means my muscles are getting strong and elastic. More tomorrow. I am falling asleep on the keyboard! :lol: Cow-- I FINISHED The Mermaid Chair. Recommend it highly-- great story and writing. TPBM would like to completely change her life: Job/marital status or partner |
bite me
True, true and true. However, "would like to" is the key phrase here. There's lots of stuff I'd LIKE to do which I can't or won't do. So here I sit, cranky as h*ll, wondering where life's going to take me next. And I think I know the answer: nowhere. Quick, someone cheer me up!!!! Must run out and look at all the perky daffodils.
No cheap reading glasses for me. I am blind as a bat. My glasses cost €400 and they stay on my face all the time because I'm so afraid of losing them. TPBM feels like cr*p every morning when she wakes up. |
Are you talking physically or mentally? oh, doesn't matter because the answer to both is yes. Actually mentally is a yes on work days - I'm having a harder and harder time dragging myself into the office.
Sugar, I wear the cheap reading glasses and contact lenses. Painty - don't tell me about the mermaid chair yet. I haven't even gotten around to buying it. Isn't Carmella a candy bar? Wouldn't you know it, Lush is no longer cream and oatmeal, and my bedroom recently changed to Taupe and cream. I'm always a step behind being in fashion. It sucks to be me. DS chose my birthday to get an ugly tatoo on his arm, DD didn't even call me, and DH spent the day telling me how bad he felt because he didn't even get me a card, much less a gift. Don't even get me going on my extended family. And the worst part of it is - I'm sssssob, 49 now. TPBM thinks it's silly to whine about birthdays. |
True--The problem with whining about birthdays is you can't stop 'em from coming.
But... it isn't silly at all to whine about FAMILY MEMBERS DISAPPOINTING/IGNORING/ANNOYING you. My DS has 3 tatoos now. (Curious George, a WildThing and "veritas." No ghoulies so far. AND his girl friend has 3, as well. I hope there won't be more. At least they don't show unless he's relatively stripped down. (He still hasn't shown them to his dad. Hmm. DD had 4 year lesbian relationship which I knew about... but she didn't tell Dad until AFTER they broke up. You think maybe their Dad is a bit hard to talk to? D'oh!) I won't talk more about Mermaid chair until somebody's read it. :D Am going to start E. Berg's The Art of Mending... anybody game? Ok... better get some work done... and have my second mini meal of the day. Multiple meals during the day are odd. I'm sort of hungry all the time, but never REALLY hungry or REALLY full... and food just sort of isn't as "important" as it had gotten to be. TPBM wants to stay home for a week with Haagen Dazz and Netflix and the delibery guy. |
False! I'd be happy just to stay home ALONE for a week with nobody, including the delivery man, to bug me.
And I can't believe I forgot to wish Wabby a HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! It registered, and then it flew right out of my brain again. Sorry, Wabs. WORD on the dhs forgetting special occasions. On my last birthday dh didn't get me flowers, claiming "they didn't have any". Good excuse, pal. I was still fuming from The Mother's Day Incident too so it was pretty tense. You don't look a day over 40!! :D TPBM uses a magic marker for her tattoos. |
my tatoos are etched into my face--they are a lovely montage of crow's feet.Very festive.they are skin colour and grow and when i need more they appear overnight.SHUGA!!!! not to be a wet blanket,but the ex-dh and i broke up shortly after he forgot my birthday---i remember i wanted the bonnie raitt "TAPE" and he said "they don't have any" and i went down to the K-MART which was just down the street and bought it myself cause guess what --"THEY DID HAVE SOME" HEE---now i'm not saying you and wabby ought to dump yer husbands {has-beens} BUT i would tell them my little story!!!!!needless to say,i may need more info before i start pushing 'divorce' as a viable solution to a problem!!kiwonkers!!!! you MUST figure out a way for us to hear one of dd's recordings!!!! YOU ARE THE COMPUTER WHIZ----PUT A CLIP ON "YOU SENDIT" COME ON!!!!! FIGURE IT OUT ALREADY~!!!!-------------wabby0-0===what did you want for your birthday---you do realize you have to order these things up ,right???!!!!! ---------TBPM wants to go to Tuscany with me and taste wines.
|
Ooooo, ooooo, me! me! I wanna go!
Bagzie, the part that just kills me is that DH mentioned several times how "bad" he felt because he hadn't gotten me a gift or even a card. The effin Hallmark store is 3 minutes away from our house. I told him I thought that he actually wanted me to feel sorry for him, because he felt so guilty. I have to admit that between this and the dirty house comment he made, I'm having fantasies about a little clean apartment all to myself. Not that I'm serious, but a girl can dream. :lol: My pants seem to have shrunk. Ooops. I seem to have repeated myself. Oh well, that old timers disease is kickin' in. My sil (the one I visited in AZ) just had that little frown muscle between her eyes snipped so that she doesn't have to have botox injected all the time. Also had a little mini eye lift. I think I'll keep my saggy baggy face - at least I can still look p*ssed off when I want to. Can you imagine not being able to frown? TPBM could care less about Tuscany, but could use a good bottle of wine. |
Ah, whole page of lovely messages to read through!! Wabbit, I dont' get along with wine too well, but I will bring you a bottle and bring a six pack of Mike's or something for me. I wish. You know, I really thought when I got around to being nearly 50, I'd be able to afford to go visit people once in a while. Instead, I can't afford to do as much as I could 5 years ago. Tain't fair. If DH doesn't get off his arse pretty soon, I'm going to have to start looking for a job around this godforsaken wilderness, where I have almost no job experience and an ancient resume. I suppose that won't matter much if I'm applying to McDonald's though, huh? :mad:
Actually I would like to go to Tuscany. But instead I will be sending my kid to France. And stuff. You know, Bagz, I realize I could just point you all to DD's MySpace page, where she has uploaded 2 of her original songs and a cover of another artist. Not the same as video, but these are recordings that she did herself onto the computer. They are quite good. Some guy who runs a "podcast" just sent her an email to ask if he could broadcast her songs. Before you know it, she'll be a star, right? I'll send out the url. I haven't bought Mermaid Chair yet either. I will go look at the liberry. I would like to change my life too. Is there a class? I don't feel the need to change my marital status, but I wouldn't mind a major alteration to job and partner. Not so much the identity of said, but he really needs some fixing. I was going to say he really needs work, but then I would have to add "in more ways than one". So I said fixing and come to think of it, that would be in more ways than one too. You suppose that would do any good? :lol: Well, I sent out the url. Go check your inbox. TPBM wants to know what that hand at the front of the photo is doing. Kiwi |
Meh.
True. What IS that hand doing?
Originally Posted by Kiwonk: Bagzie! Good breakup story! I'm sure there was a lot more leading up to it than forgetting your birthday, but I guess that was the last straw for you. I'm nowhere near that, and going out and getting a new dh would be just too much darned trouble right now so I suppose I'll have to stick with the one I've got for the time being. At least he has a job and can do home repairs. :lol: |
Kiwi, I can't get any sound out of that website - the little bar thingies jump up and down so I know it's playing, but no sound.
I'm going to keep the DH I have too. I don't have enough energy at this point to trade him in. Besides, when he's good he's very, very good. He's just off track lately. I'm going to have to buy Mermaid Chair - the library has 20 copies and 180 holds. I'm not that patient. I would like everyone to post a bunch today. It's rainy and gray and I need to be entertained. |
I haven't got sound out of it yet either. No. I did. I heard a bar or two on guitar. It's that my puter is too slow and both of my work ones are without speakers. I will persevere though.
Had a job interview this morning. So far so good. Another interview to follow. In the meantime, I am getting fat. REally. I am eating and eating and not feelng guilty. Right now I had YooHoo and Peanut Butter crackers on my desk. Later, I will lose weight. Right now I need comfort. I can not get through these interviews feeling deprived. I would be gloomy and nervous. I am trying to think of something else to say to entertain Wabby. I am several chapters into the Mermaid book and so far not liking it. I did reallly really like the other book she wrote though so I guess this will change. Love you all. Waddling away, Peachie TPBM doesn't know what YooHoo is. |
True. How on earth did you know, Peachy? Is it like a Twinkie or a Ho Ho or an Eskimo Pie? You just go ahead and eat. You need proper nourishment to get through those interviews with a clear head. YooHoos sound like brain food to me. They will help you on your journey.
Got through and hour at the library this morning and three straight hours of tutoring this afternoon and tomorrow I am FREE. Well, except for the man-size pile of laundry and a bunch of garden work to do, but I can do that without having to talk to a single soul if I don't want to. That's a good thing. Too many people just suck the life out of me. Wabby, I wish I could think of something to entertain you, but I'm fresh out. Will be back if I think of anything remotely interesting. TPBM is a lot more entertaining than I'll ever be. |
False. You fascinate me with your adorableness.
YooHoo is a chocolate drink. No norishment. Yummy. I want to know what everyone's fav movie is as I now subscribe to BlockBuster online and don't know what to put in queue. Moo. TPBM can translate Sugar's signature into English |
is it some kind of DRINK??? yoooohooooooooooooo are you thereeeeeeeee???? tell us about the new job---is it more interesting???need to know!!---guess what ----they put up the garden centre at the grocery store today while it was SNOWING!!!!! EFF!!!----I LOVE THAT YOU ARE ALL SWEARING INTERMITTENTLY----IT MAKES MY DAY!!!---- kiwiette sounded GORGEOUS ON my computer---absolutely gorgeous!!!! can't wait to say " i know her"!!!! i am going to make spicy pasta sauce for supper---it uses cayenne pepper and bacon!!!! i LOVe IT EVEN THOUGHT IT USES BACON {OR MORE BECAUSE OF IT!!}
|
Yes I am three you hateful olf effin cow!!! How do you like that now??? You and your garden! Are you hiding young guys in there like in that book Lolita where the old guy and the Lilita put flowers in each other pubic hair? Effin shocking, you are.
What is your favorite movie? TPBM is taking my side against Bugz. |
p.s. I want that spicy pasta sauce.
|
No way - I'm neutral.
My DS drinks Yoo-hoos sometimes. Are you sure there is nothing nutritious in them? no milk? I'm fat too Peach. I've gone beyond that feeling when you get a little extra fat on yer back that jiggles. Now I can feel that extra fat pad between the thighs that makes your shorts bunch up. I'm using food as my drug of choice. I stopped at Starbucks this morning and bought a pumpkin scone w/ a latte, and for lunch I drove out of my way for my favorite foot long hotdog w/ special coney sauce & onions. I'm washing it down w/ a diet coke so it's all good. Moving on to the last of the Easter chocolate. We went out to dinner friday night, saturday night, I made a big italian dinner for Grandpa Jim's birthday on Sunday, and we went out for dinner monday night. We watched Spanglish on DVD, Peach. I think you should rent that one. I really liked it - Adam Sandler in a dramatic role and he was surprisingly good. Also Finding Neverland was very good too. Those are my picks. DS's friend who stayed and stayed w/ us last spring had a demo made of one of his songs. I was absolutely shocked because he was so good and I never even knew he could sing - plus he'd written the song and it was beautiful in a really depressing way, and I had no idea he had that in him. Being a person w/ no musical talent I'm always amazed when I hear someone who does. I'm still trying to figure out why I can't get Kiwiette's songs to play. I think a day w/ laundry and gardening in solitude sounds wonderful, Sugar. I actually enjoy folding nice warm clothes fresh out of the dryer. I'm going to get this desk cleared. Keep on entertaining - you're all doing great. Especially all that dirty talk that Peach is going on with. TPBM is wearing her biggest size clothes and they're feeling snug. |
Oh, you had to say that, didn't you? Yeah, me too. And Wabbit, PUT DOWN THE CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!
Bagz, send her the pasta sauce. Goodness, we can't have her swearing at her job interviews. Sugar was right -- YooHoo is brain food. Chocolate "drink" -- defies description. DD says that if you can't hear the music on her MySpace page, you could download the songs onto your own computer. I can't get the songs to play all the way through on the page with my slow modem, so that's usually the problem. Wab, if you're getting the bars moving, it should be playing -- check your speakers and your volume. Hey I walked yesterday morning! 2 miles! Not today, though. Do you think vacuuming is aerobic? Oh geez. Favorite movies? That's rawther large category. Modern Times, the Charlie Chaplin movie. King of Hearts, but I know you've seen that. American Beauty, but if you're anything like my dh, you'll hate it. Oh! Have you seen Amelie? It's French, and it is absolutely charming, that one I think you will love. I'll think of more later. TPBM wants a brass Christmas ornament with Mt. Katahdin on it. Kiwi |
True. And I'm buying more clothes in the same size so they effin don't fit either and I feel like a old cow pig in teenybopper calf clothing. Boy, would I like some pasta with hot sauce. Yumm. Soon I will eat a big old fast food dinner to prepare myself for the meeting tonight where I will sit on the back row and route people to the sign-in sheet. This Effin job is so menial compared to what I used to do. But it pays more. What's a cow to do?
I would send Bagz a six-pack of yoohoo but I still rEMEMBER with hostility how the boiled peanuts I send went into (and prolly ruined) her compost heap. Salt. Compost. No good. I hate Adam Sandler but will try that movie. I may have seen the other one. Whos' in it? We need those old people who were good to swear at. June and gang. Sugar's friends. TPBM once thought Canadians didn't swear. |
About Kiwi's post .... true. Where can I get one?
I need movies I can watch with DS. American Beauty? I will look into Amelie though. Seen the others. |
My mother thought Meet the Fockers was hilarious. I haven't seen it yet.
DS would get a kick out of Shaun of the Dead -- I thought it was a scream, but if you are freaked out by zombie movies, it would not be for you. Kath |
DD has them for sale Peachie. $5 plus postage.
Yeah, don't watch American Beauty with DS. Watch Fahrenheit 9/11 and Supersize Me instead. And definitely Amelie. Oh have you seen Shakespeare in Love? That's one of my favorites. k. |
Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet are in Finding Neverland. Very good to watch w/ DS. I don't like Adam Sandler either, but he was good in Spanglish. Cloris Leachman plays his mother in law - she was hilarious. The other leads are by ppl I've not heard of before. Also good movie to watch w/ DS.
|
OK. The sun went down. The sun came up. No one has posted. I'm talking to myself. When I weighed this morning - SURPRISE!!! - I've gained more weight. I'm officially up 10 whole pounds as of today. I'm gonna getta grip. Soon. I think my problem is that I think everything has to be all or nothing. Even w/ cleaning my house, it's either completely gone to h*ll or spotless. I need to do just a little bit all the time, instead of a marathon once a week. Baby steps.
This talking to myself is getting old - the rest of youse cows roll outta the hay and meet in the pasture. |
I am here waiting for more movie reviews. Has that Canadian boysinger with curls not made a movie yet?
Also, I am exhausted. Tired. Working nights twice this week has been too much. Here is my information about gmail. Pictures come already open it as thumbnails and you click to enlarge. It's faster and easier. Wabby, how do we get this grip? Eff |
Do they have to be new movies? Have you ever seen This Boy's Life? Excellent movie, starring Leo Dicaprio when he was a newbie. Also Ellen Barkin & Robert DeNiro. All single women should watch it. And probably all married women. How about Where the Heart Is, starring Ashley Judd and that adorable Natalie Portman? If you like suspense movies how about Mystic River w/ Shawn Penn, & Kevin Bacon?
|
Oh yes, Mystic River was excellent. What's that one set in the fifties about a housewife who befriends the black gardener? That was an awesome film.
Where the Heart Is was another of my favorite movies. A great spoof on MalWart, and a sweet film at the same time. |
