ALRIGHTOMFGWTFANEWTHREADWOO!!!11


Eh, I'm feeling okay--I've had better days, that's for sure. Fun day at work, though.

While it's not February over here yet, I had a sore throat earlier, which is almost completely gone. It would have been a tragedy if I had it now because tomorrow is my interview.

I have a birthday on Groundhog's Day (Feb 2nd), though I like to keep my age low profiled  :)

...though some hints would give it away

This is confusing. It is still January people  ???  I should be able to post one more time on the January version.  MidKnightdarkness has too much power  ;D  oh well, enough crying. It's 10pm on January 31st  & I feel f*gkng good!  (strategic asterisk)

That is quite a sinister laugh, and shave that thing off! .  So In 1 hour it will be February. here on the west coast we slow things down. we don't rush. Plus there's only 28 days in the month so make it last.  I feel good and will end the night feeling kinda good.

In your winter time, about 21 hours ahead (summertime = 19)  :o

Generally I just add 3-6 hours for US time...

I have been having some dizzy spells. I think I may have an inner ear infection which this is NOT the best time for it. I'm supposed to be getting on a plane on Monday. I hope it goes away by then.

Feeling good because I'm at work. Finally getting my camera tonight, which is good. I have a lot on my mind so I hope I stay happy today.

I'm feeling much better about myself lately.I'm working at Au Bon Pain 1 day a week on Saturdays,Robin's Parents are happy for me,Robin and I are back together again making out like boyfriend/girlfriend on Sundays and I missed her during the past month and I'm glad she missed me. :)

Nevermind, I couldn't get a card, because I don't have credit to begin with.


How am I supposed to gain credit, if I can't get it in the first place..?



I'm disgusted with everything tonight.

aww Beth...that sucks. Maybe once you get a car loan...you'll be able to get the credit card.

yes...unfortunately...I totally do. :(  It sucks because some people can get credit cards like anything....but then others cannot get one for the life of them.

I'm gonna be gone for a couple weeks ... this board is really f'ing up my school.  Until then, peace!

There is a trick... if you can get someone who has a credit card to add you on their account, wait about a month and you will "inherit" their credit history from that card... then you can apply for your own, then have that person take your name off of theirs. :)

I was wondering about you and that school thing. I'm thinking, shouldn't this guy be in class right now. Maybe you are, and you're on line inthe00s.com during Trigonometry, good for you and the new avatar is cool.

Hey all....sorry I wasn't here yesterday; it's because our home computer had a virus detected on Tuesday night, so we had to be off of it all day yesterday. So my 50,000th post celebration is gonna have to happen some time today. I will post a new thread regarding it once I reach the milestone. 8)

Still a bit dizzy today. I'm sure it will go away.

Are you taking any college courses?  The credit companies are pretty lenient on college students.  That's how I got my first card.

I didn't mention this earlier, but in addition to our computer being out of commission all day yesterday, our heater (or furnace, whatever you wanna call it) started acting strange the other night, so we had to turn off the unit again! :o >:( So later on today, a guy from the company that installed our heater will come take a look at it again.

DYHIW you get an appliance fixed and it craps out...oops, wrong thread.

I'm looking forward to be working this weekend at Au Bon Pain.Suddenly,there was a change in the manager shift so the orientation is this Saturday at 1pm after that I should be doing what I have to up until 6pm or 8pm.Other than that,I couldn't be any happier to be doing something I enjoy doing.Thanks to my job coach,He pulled through. :)

I have finished my first week of the spring semester; I feel pretty good about my two classes.

Well, other than the fact that I currently can't breathe through my nose, I feel great! I get to see Justin tomorrow...!!!!

My math teacher last year let us get online so long as we got our work done.

Well, other than the fact that I currently can't breathe through my nose, I feel great! I get to see Justin tomorrow...!!!!

Hope you enjoy that. I myself will be spending time with my lady friend tomorrow.

Now, for my day.. it was decent. Stressful, though.. had an pop TEST in Chem.. not a small thing.. a chapter exam. You were allowed notes and all, but... you know, I just like a little time to familiarize with the problems again, especially when some of them, we haven't done in over 2 weeks. I think I did fairly well, though.

Next Week Is Valentine's Day so I'm definitely looking forward to it.I don't know what I'll do with her yet but I'll probably go out to dinner with her,Buy some chocolates,Go out for some Ice Cream and then back to her house for my late night snack if you know what I mean. ;)

That's good Howard ;)

Same here. I've never watched one in my life. I usually sit in the kitchen and eat :D. This year, Erin's having a party, but I'm sick.. so I'm staying home.

well, I will miss you at the party Beth....I hope you feel better!

I missed the big family gathering for Thanksgiving last Nov. cuz I was ill. I hated to miss all that good food and fellowship, but had to try to rest before work. Take it easy

I can.I will be gone for a few days,though I know
I will not be missed I hope it is a short hiatus.

it will take to be repaired.A funny story about taking it to the store
to get repaired.My son put the wall paper on the screen,when the
guy hooked up the computer to see what was wrong the screen
was visible to all the women behind me in line.The wall paper is
a CD by the band Leftover Crack,in big bold letters it said
"Shoot The Kids At School"I can only imagine what those
people thought about me.

I've never seen the superbowl, my family doesn't watch it... we will miss it altogether.

I'm pretty reclusive, but bond sometimes, partly to keep my sanity.  The Super Bowl isn't one of those bonding things. 

I've never understood can enjoy watching people pass a ball and tackle each other for 3 hours.  Playing football is okay, but watching it is incredibly boring, unless there's a lot of money betted.

I used to work at a place in West Virginia where they ran a Super Bowl pool.

The pool cost $50.00 a square.  PER MONTH.  ::)

feelin good after watching Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones ROCKING the superbowl halftime show  8) with "Start Me Up, a new song called Rough Justice, and ended with a mighty performance of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.   They were great. the stage was a giant red tongue. awesome

I sort of agree in that I'm not a huge Stones fan, but they performed well for a bunch of old guys. They were announced as the greatest rock and roll band ever, and all of us at my house had to jump up and dispute that claim

I was a bit disapointed that during Start Me Up the sound was so awful but they got it sorted.

Better than Justin Timberlake, Sheryl Crow or whatever other sheesh passes as music these days.

I sure hope so. It seems like I get a bad one every few months or so...and it consists of nearly the same thing....first a sore throat, then a cold, then I lose my voice...and sometimes it becomes a sinus infection...yick! :P

My father still has a chest virus, just got word that the latest anti-biotics haven't done anything.

the thing is there's this deep respect for anything Stevie Wonder and Aretha do because they're legendary in the industry and with the fans, but I hate it when they bring in the new kids to join in with them. I'm not a joss stone fan, or cared for any of the other singers that really shouldn't be on the same stage as the other 2, but they try to appeal to a broader audience in that way. They should have just let Stevie and Aretha do their thing.

and what's with the mikes not working!?

I remember once drinking some sort of cleaning product so I would be sick. In an interesting turn of events i wasn't sick until about 1Pm the next day, from the other end of my body, whilst i was at school... I only just made it to the bathroom  ;D

Yeah, my friend learned the cookie dough trick takes a few hours.. he gauges it perfectly now, though, that he pukes that morning.

I've felt weird lately. All these unrelenting feelings of panic, paranoia, fear.. I can't keep a mood for more then a few minutes.. I keep going back and forth between okay and on the verge of crying. I almost did today in Latin.. I don't know what's up. I mean, there's some stress, but it's always been there. Now, it's panic, and it won't go away. Has anyone ever had this? I mean, it's not like I have panic ATTACKS, just sudden, lengthy periods of intense fear and anxiety. It sucks, because I can't really get any help if it IS a problem. It's getting really crippling.

I did really well on all the things I was worried about, but the panic is still here...

cookie dough is great...home-made espicially cuz the sugar with flour and egg makes it craemy and good!
I have had tons in my lifetime and never a hiccup. I can't believe this gets you sick enough to get out of class when I've been doing it for 30 years.

although I also swallowed cleaner to get out of school...

I've been feeling pretty good lately.It seems that just about every Sunday when I've been coming over Robin's house,Our lovemaking has been pretty intense.We both have some sort of an effect on each other in a way.Her Perfume gives me a great feeling and when she makes out with me,She just enjoys the making out part.I was also telling her that We've been going out for almost a Year and A Half now so let's try to further this love making up a notch or two.How do I make her feel as comfortable as possible when this is the first time that she's even done it before so actually We're both virgins but I'm not saying now,When the time comes,She'll let me know or vice versa. :)

Does it have the smell as well?  That's what gives it away ;)


It smells quite awful.. dunno if it's "Human Vomit", but it's a rather unplesant smell.

I didn't catch the Pre-Game Show, but everyone at my house said it sucked...

Guess I didn't miss anything... ::)

That stuff kills man.  Salmonella poisoning? Eating cookie dough is playing Russian Roulette.


::)

Paranoia, Paranoia, Dude, I've been eating that stuff since I was a little kid.

it's the raw eggs that have the potential for salmonella bacteria.  probably won't these strong people, just shut a kidney down. you can survive with 1  ;)

I've felt weird lately. All these unrelenting feelings of panic, paranoia, fear.. I can't keep a mood for more then a few minutes.. I keep going back and forth between okay and on the verge of crying. I almost did today in Latin.. I don't know what's up. I mean, there's some stress, but it's always been there. Now, it's panic, and it won't go away. Has anyone ever had this? I mean, it's not like I have panic ATTACKS, just sudden, lengthy periods of intense fear and anxiety. It sucks, because I can't really get any help if it IS a problem. It's getting really crippling.

I did really well on all the things I was worried about, but the panic is still here...

there's medication that works for some, but you gotta get a doctor or shrink to prescribe. Crippling is an accurarte descripton and whether you call it an attack or anything else it sounds like an episode that you can't control or tell when it's gonna happen or why, but once it does, all you can do is ride it out. I know many that suffer from this and most require medication to provide relief. Xanax seems to be the preferred choice, as it doesn't make drowsy, and you can function normally most everything you do and provides panic relief within about 10min.  Tom Cruise, if you're reading this, kiss my --- you POS !!!

My parents won't take me to a doctor. They think I'm making up my problems for attention. ^

Xanax messed with my sleep. Seriously, I dunno if it's my brain chemistry or what but it messed me up  :P

My parents won't take me to a doctor. They think I'm making up my problems for attention. ^
I went thru it bad, It would happen at very inopportune times and i don't know what started it or what would trigger it. Took a long time to get better.

Xanax messed with my sleep. Seriously, I dunno if it's my brain chemistry or what but it messed me up  :P
and this is a trip, because sometimes I need it to calm me so I can sleep and it helps me. My job used to be very stressful, and that was a big reason why I had anxiety. I got a better job, and other lifestyle changes, I don't get them, and if I do, they are mild, not crippling like they used to be and I use my medication only as needed. Thats what works for me, plus a year of therapy  ;D  Dr. Feingold, she rocks! Andrew, there are some good books available and you should get one that seems relevant and read up on it. I did and it helps to know the enemy.

Feelin' rather tired. Yesterday I had to do a lot of running around. In addition to taking courses at CSUN toward my degree, I am also taking a couple of computer-related courses at a community college. I'm doing this because I'm gonna need to start workin' real soon, and I need the skills, so these computer-related courses are for training. Anyway, I had to run around yesterday because I was using two different buses to get there, and I had to go run and catch the second one before it pulled away. (That's because I had gotten off the first bus at the wrong stop by mistake, and had to run four long blocks to catch the second one.) Later I found out that I only needed to take one bus to and from the community college. So tomorrow I know exactly what I need to do.

I'm a bit tired but otherwise feeling pretty good today... :)

still feeling congested and tired....hopefully this cold will go away very soon! :-\\

feeling tired, from staying up late on here as usual.  :)

Feelin' pretty good, aside from being a little tired.

I've been feeling pretty good lately and not so good.Very soon,In my program I'll be phased out and being discharged within the next few months or so.Au Bon Pain has been doing well.I was told from my therapist that I've been doing excellent cause she knew and so does my job coach Mr.Randolph the manager for many years now.If I do a great job,He might increase my days and hours so I'm looking forward to that soon.Everything has been working well as planned! :)

I went to the orthodontist today...the gap in my front two teeth is finally completely gone, and this woman said I was doing a great job of brushing my teeth.

Also...ugh...I'm going to an open house meeting at the Baptist school.  I feel like the choices I have in schooling are just different length ropes to hang myself with.

hahhahha, just be yourself and it'll work out.

I'm not sure however far this "be yourself" concept goes.  I'm still not sure if and when I should tell my parents that I'm not a Christian.

Whether you tell them or not, is there anything they can do or say that would change you. They'd be dissapointed, perhaps angry that you dont love the lord like they want you to. A Christian isn't something that's born, it's something you may or may not become. They love their kid no matter what.  ;)

After reading this, I think I should tell them, nevertheless, I dread it.

That's good to hear. I remember when I had braces; I had to keep my teeth brushed well (and I still do). ;) Also, I was restricted from eating certain foods so that I wouldn't damage the braecs and slow down the process. My mom had 'em ten years ago (for only eight months) on her bottom teeth.

My 7 y.o. gets his first appliances next week :-\\

He's getting 'em and he's only seven?? :o :o

Have you tried St. John's Wort or any of the other "homeopathic" remedies?  They're available over the counter and I have a friend who swears by them.


I don't know what store would sell them..

Also...ugh...I'm going to an open house meeting at the Baptist school.  I feel like the choices I have in schooling are just different length ropes to hang myself with.



Oh man, good luck with that. I want stories when you come home..!

Go with the short ropes, they don't break as easy.

But anyway.. you're Baptist?

Baptists are Christians who believe that to be saved, you must be baptized.. once you're baptized, most Baptists believe you actually CANNOT leave the church. It's not possible to not be saved anymore, you're stuck with God for good.

At least that's what I've heard, probably bullsh-t propaganda from my friend's Nazarene church... The Nazarene's are f--ked.

My family's Agnostic, I'm Athiest, but I think like a Buddhist in the sense that I follow an ethical code rather then a god.. it's my own person ethical code, though. I'mma write it out one day.

yeah, I'll probably regret it the same way I regret not seeing Hall & Oates a couple years ago!

well, they usually return and there will be future opportunities. I passed up the Eagles at lake Tahoe this last summer Vac, mainly because I was with family and didn't want to abandon them on our first night of Vac, and the tix were $125 plus svc-chg, too much.

Hope you enjoy the show 8) ;)

I have some more good news from Au Bon Pain.During the orientation,I was the only one that was dedicated and the others didn't seem as interested so I was excited to hear that from my job coach today.Plus,the 1pm-7pm is temporary cause I'm still on training right now so the supervisor is going to keep on changing my time schedule until it's permanent.Most likely,not for another few more months. :)

Ugh...I've caught this infection that's going around.  So far it's just my throat.  It's sore and dry.

Hope you enjoy the show 8) ;)
:) I knew I had already put this Aerosmith post somewhere and here it is. Thanks Jeff, should be a great time.

Well...I got to see some Dodgers today. They visited L.A. Peirce College (where I am taking computer-related courses on Mondays and Wednesdays) this afternoon, signing autographs between 12:30 and 1:30 PM (Pacific time). Former manager Tommy Lasorda helped out with a raffle. I didn't win anything (which is okay), since I chose not to buy a ticket.

Later, Eric Gagne talked with some tv news reporters. Then security escorted him back to the big bus with the rest of the team.

Holy crap...everyone is getting sick.  It's like a nationwide bug here.

And now it's got me...!  :\'(

I had the crappiest day at work today. I work in an office with another woman that just can't keep up with her work. So, instead of my boss telling her to speed up, she gives me 3 of my co-workers jobs to do. I already do most of the work, now I have 3 more things to do. This co-worker is clueless to anything that's going on around her.  I could go on and on, but it would take forever. And as if that's not enough, I'm thinking of taking on a part time job in the evenings so we can save some extra money since my daughter will be going to college next year. It's just been a really crappy day, sorry to vent here, but I think my husband's getting tired of hearing me bitch about it!  :P  >:(

Ugh...I've caught this infection that's going around.  So far it's just my throat.  It's sore and dry.



Aw, I know how that is. Mine's finally going away, though. You know what this means, don't you..?! I'm making you go to sleep early tonight, like you did to me. >:-{

I almost had another throat infection recently, but taking tylenol and keeping myself warm at night prevented it. Also, I lost five pounds over the past three weeks, unfortunately it's the same five pounds I keep losing over and over again.

Holy crap...everyone is getting sick.  It's like a nationwide bug here.

And now it's got me...!  :\'(


I had it and was on death's door- around Thanksgiving...that's when I was home sick and found this site...anyway, I had it again a week ago and I still dojn't feel right.
I think it's in tyhe water.

Aw, I know how that is. Mine's finally going away, though. You know what this means, don't you..?! I'm making you go to sleep early tonight, like you did to me. >:-{


B-but... :\'(

I think you had worse symptoms than me though...and you didn't get to bed until 2 or 3 in the morning.

I was trying to go to bed earlier but my mom made me (alliteration) show her my video.

Decent day. Could be better, could be worse. Still miserable, and now my MOM thinks I can't be trusted either... everything is a trust issue with them, I swear.

Could it be that I'm the only one around here who's NOT sick??

Yeah, I think I'm one of the very few that aren't. Probably because I'm on the West Coast...and I don't think I've seen any postings from West-Coasters implying that they're under the weather.

probably true. Our weather has been loony lately....one day it is in the high 50's and the next day it is 30 or lower and snowing.....very odd. :o....no wonder we are all sick! :(

It was rather warm in the Los Angeles area today. The weather was nothing like that on this date 17 years ago (Feb. 8, 1989...which for the record, was also a Wednesday, February 8th, just like today!)...the L.A. area on that day experienced snow...which doesn't happen very often. :o

So anyways, even though it was rather warm in the afternoon, I still stood outside, hoping to see the Dodgers, as I mentioned in reply #182. New Dodger players Nomar Garciaparra and Kenny Lofton were also scheduled to appear...I did happen to get a glimpse of them.

it sounds like that was a fun day, Jeff. :)

Today? Kind of. After my classes were done, I decided to head on over there...and there were a couple hundred people out there waiting to meet the guys and get autographs from them. I did see former manager Tommy Lasorda, who helped out with the raffle, as I'd said. After the raffle he announced, "There's only ONE team in Los Angeles...The DODGERS!" (everyone cheered) He continued: "The only Angels are those up in heaven!" After the event was over, I saw some security people escorting him back to the team's bus.

So I got to see some famous people in person today. (Well, they're famous in the world of sports, but still.) Still haven't actually met any.

Nine years ago on this date, I had gone to a Dr. Demento show at Caltech in Pasadena...and Weird Al was sitting across the aisle from me and my family. During intermission, a lot of people were lined up, waiting to meet him. (I saw him in concert two years later.)

This further reiterates my feeling about the American worker. This happens everywhere, the slackers get less work, and the good hard workers are rewarded with? you guessed it!  more work!!!! it's like this everywhere gemini, so  basically you gotta do less work to get less or don't do as good a job and then they won't pile it on you. They always give it to who they know will do it. sad isn't it. but good we have jobs

I hear ya. you'd be sent to the gulag in Siberia 

M-my voice...!  Where did it go?  :\'(

I just sneezed three times in a row.

I hear ya. you'd be sent to the gulag in Siberia 


Popular saying in Russia -

"He's too good to count tree's."

Meaning, he's too good to be sent to Siberia, because after all, that's all there is to do in Siberia. Count tree's (and stop the Japs from invading  ;D)

Could it be that I'm the only one around here who's NOT sick??


Well, up until yesterday, I wasn't sick.. but I've a sore throat now.

I'm looking forward to Valentine's Day this weekend.I got Robin a Ladybug that kisses 3 times and I'm also thinking about getting her perfume but not sure how much I'm willing to spend for it.I want to get her either Celine Dion,Lady Stetson or Ciara.Which one do you think I should get her,I mean she adores perfume a lot so I'm still pondering. :)

Oh no! another one falls to Captain Trips!

Well, up until yesterday, I wasn't sick.. but I've a sore throat now.

Oh, that doesn't sound too good. :-[

I actually sneezed a few times today...but I don't think anything's developing. Could be just the wind combined with the heat.

Yeah, you certainly don't wanna get her sick! :o

I got plans for the weekend too, which I'll discuss later on.

Ugh. Confused. I think I might be wanting to change my entire life plan of what I want to be.

She's already a bit under the weather.. so I'm double worried.

Wow...same here.  Well, not really, I'm wondering if I want to change everyone's perception of what I am , and I suppose you know what I am talking about.

What's going on, Beth?

She's already a bit under the weather.. so I'm double worried.

I was referring to "the lady" you mentioned at the end of your sentence in your previous post. Unless she, too, is UTW.

Sorry if it sounded ambiguous. :-\\

Well, I want to do something with my life.. that helps other people. I want to be of some importance and I've been thinking about this a lot. I love Photography soo much and it will always be a hobby of mine, but .. I want more.

Someone presented this to me:

http://www.adelphoivillage.org/


It's near my house. It's a home for troubled teens. I met a person on Xanga who does this, and reading what she writes about it--it's so rewarding. The benefits would be awesome, and It would be a full time job.

Reading her stuff, she adores those kids so much.. gives them makeovers, does their hair, talks about their problems with them... and just makes them feel good about themselves. *shrugs* I'm going to make my resume tonight. We'll see what happens, I suppose.

Yes. Haha..

I still don't know, though. I have to really think about it some more.

Wow...what a dammit...

Beth, this would be a big step, and I hope you think it through very well before you--

Reading her stuff, she adores those kids so much.. gives them makeovers, does their hair, talks about their problems with them... and just makes them feel good about themselves. *shrugs* I'm going to make my resume tonight. We'll see what happens, I suppose.
trying to find your path in life, your niche' isn't easy, but to help others is almost always a good thing and will give you a sense of purpose.  I actually had thought you'd be a good counselor or psychologist if you studied for that.  or the wife of a rock star

That sounds like it would be okay.. but could do you think you could make a job out of it? Gotta consider what's gonna put food on the table.. although I can't imagine photography is very lucrative either.

often if you find something new, you really want it to happen. Think hard and about what you REALLY like and want. If you love photography so much, do that. If you really believe you'd rather talk to teens, well you know.

Then again, you could take photos of troubled teens...

Good News! I got the job I interviewed last week and will start to work very soon.  :)

right on Rich, congrats, good luck.

I'm not sure what I'm feeling,  my 16year old daughter just got her drivers license yesterday.
Need I say more?

Feeling okay, if a bit bored. Still enjoying this nice day off... well, until I have to start getting ready for work later  :-\\

I feel awful.  My voice is just gone now, and my nose is stuffy...I think I may have a headache coming on.  I feel better than when I woke up though.

I didn't get out of bed till nine...and I don't think my mom would let me sleep any more anyway.  I've got schoolwork to do...and plenty of chores.

Just get some coffee / hot chocolate down yourself, stick on some of your favourite music and take your mind off it. And look forward to feeling better in a few days time  ;)

Thanks...I'll have to ask my mom about that though.  I need to empty the dishwasher (not a huge chore actually), collect all the trash in the house, and clean the bathroom.

I have colds and flus constantly from Autumn to Spring, so I kinda get used to them. Think I have sinus problems or something...

No need to empty the dishwasher in my house... I call her 'mam'  ;D

Way to block my post, Michael.


And Beck's the daddy, of course. Which explains Marsh's pimp-like qualities.

Sounds like fun, Rich! 8)

I'm feeling pretty good today.Looking forward to Valentine's Day weekend when I'll be spending time with Robin hopefully it won't snow as much.I got her a small bottle of Shania perfume and a Kissing Ladybug when you squeeze it's stomach.I also sent her an e-card as well. :)

I'm not sure what I'm feeling,  my 16year old daughter just got her drivers license yesterday.

I believe you, it makes my stomach turn. even now as I think about it.  my baby is trying to leave the nest.  Will I be a VEG when she goes to college?

I was running a fever, so I took a nap around half past two and didn't wake up till half past five.  I feel so dizzy, but my nose is clear.

Well, looks like my nose started running again.  My head...is throbbing.  I'm hoping the weekend won't be like this.

Sudafed worked well for me.

You guys got Beechams All-In-One over there? It works on colds, flus, headaches, sinus pains, fevers, the lot. To quote "Until there's a cure... there's Beechams!"

Nothing works for me.. I just let it run it's course, usually takes only a couple of days.  ::)

My network of spies tells me she was observed on her first solo drive to the mall. Her and her friend both drove their own cars. No waiting to get pushed out of the nest, this bird is fully fledged and taking flight. God bless her.  :\'(

I'm feeling okay today...except for the fact that my right hand hurts for some reason, I can't even make a fist. :(

When I get sick, I get sick hardcore. Get that from my dad.. we're rarely sick, but when we are, we usually come close to like, having to be hospitalized.

Tonight's shaping up kinda bad...

I'm home now, and I just felt like reading some posts. :)

Feeling good, no colds or coughs and I lost 1.2 pounds this week.

craziness; dog outside, me on computer......BANG! gunshot outside!!!
people out of houses, dog FREAKING out.

now she's under the table and I'm nervous! 
it was close....I felt a vibration.

YIKES!!!

My father and I just talked.. he told me, pretty much, he prefers anyone's company over me... I'll never be half the good person, the good son he was.... and how he can't wait for me to go to college, hoping I'll hate myself for all I've done..

Why the f--k do I even keep living these days?

if he says that one thing is sure in my book...you won't be half. you'll be more.
that's harsh when these things happen.
sorry.

dude....college will be your refuge....the day you leave should be a very happy one for you! ;)

college will be your refuge


No, it won't. See, there's two things:

1. I go to a State School

This is bad. My father told me, in very clear words, that I have failed at life unless I go to a better school then him and make more then him. Therefore, I have to go to a higher school then him. He went to a state school, so that's failure.

2. I go to Ivy League

I still fail at life, because the second condition of my not-failing precedent is that I maintain higher grades then he got in college. I can get 3 Bs in my total college training. My careers will involve at least 8 years of schooling beyond High School. Also, if I DO pull this off, I still fail because I'm a terrible person.

So, I'm f--ked for life. I've failed, and I'm not even 18 yet.

Who gives a sheesh.

I and most of the people I know don't talk to our parents.

I couldn't give a sheesh what they think and they're perfectly happy with that arrangement.

I think you would feel a lot better if you really just quit caring what he thinks.

I know that chances are slim that I'll ever make as much money as my Father (I earnt more than my mother at the age of 12  ;D) He makes a lot of money because he's been very lucky in the business he's in. Do I care? No. Does this make me a failure? No.
If your Father thinks you such a failure then maybe he needs to consider the fact that he's obviously done a pretty sheeshty job at being a Father.

andrew...you are an intelligent kid.  No matter where you choose to go, you will do just fine. College is so different than high school...so much more free, and relaxed, and open...and allows you to be so much more independent.  You go where YOU want to go...heck on what your father says or thinks.  You can get a good education at a lot of state schools, ya know? And...if you have your eyes set higher than that....then GO FOR IT.  Don't let your dad's words, or others let you down.  And...I have known people who have gone to pretty prestigious colleges, when in high school...they were just average or sometimes below average...they just put their mind to it and went with it.

You'll be okay...as soon as you get away from all of the negative talk.....I mean...hell's bells....you could discover the perfect cure for cancer..and your dad would STILL be bitching about something or another. ::)

I think you would feel a lot better if you really just quit caring what he thinks.

I would, but what he thinks is what determines if I have a place to live. He kicked me out once before, he'll do it again.


If your Father thinks you such a failure then maybe he needs to consider the fact that he's obviously done a pretty sheeshty job at being a Father.


No, apparently, he did a GREAT job, he just got stuck with a total prick for a son.

wow, lock the doors, call 911 for info as to whats going on, They'll probably just say to stay inside.

Don't make trying to please dad the focal point of your existence. I don't mean to disparage your dad, but if his fulfillment, success, or crowning achievment is based on who you are, what you do or become, then he's got problems and they are not you! People say stupid stuff when they are mad, and the worse stuff is said to the ones we are supposed to love the most. He's had his life to do his best and you need to do the best you can for yourself.  If he's unhappy with you, I'm sorry but that's his problem, not yours. You'll be on your own soon enough, but until then co-exist as best you can. Geez, my dad is like a distant uncle to me and I'm not unhappy about that. He's got his life and I've got mine. Just remember this time in your life and in the future when you have your own kids, promise yourself to try to be a better parent. That's how I look at it, almost a challenge to myself to not make his mistakes. You're gonna be ok. you are in my prayers.

Andrew...there's really no advice I could give you, because I don't think I could ever understand this situation.  I'm just so sorry things have to be this way for you.  I'm not going to sugarcoat things...I don't know your dad, but he sounds like an asshole to me.  I don't really think things are going to get better between you and him, but maybe you could put this sour relationship behind you and try to pursue a good life.

Once again...that's not really advice, it's actually just a suggestion.  I'm not arrogant enough to assume I
know your situation, so I'm not going to pretend I have this knowledge or mislead you (although I think you're too smart for that).

I am so sorry.

We had something like that around here about a week and a half ago.

There was a car crash out on the street about 6 doors down. Some guy got out of his truck and fired a shot in to somebody's rear window. There was a fight and the cops came.
Anyway we were all told we couldn't come out of our houses for the rest of the night which was fair enough, I could watch from the window anyway, but the odd thing was... the next day there were signs up in the place it happened saying "Warning - Poison".
Needless to say, I took the dog a different route.

My father and I just talked.. he told me, pretty much, he prefers anyone's company over me... I'll never be half the good person, the good son he was.... and how he can't wait for me to go to college, hoping I'll hate myself for all I've done..

That's terrible  :\'(  I love talking to my kids.  I'm always trying to re-assure them that it doesn't matter what they do our love for them is unconditional - I've actually been accused by "friends" of discussing too much with my kids, they feel it is "inappropriate" and then in the next breath whinge and whine to me  that "my kids tell me nothing"  ::)

In a few months,Robin And I will be celebrating our first year and a half together.Her parents keep on telling her that I'm not the one but she has to learn to speak up for herself sometimes.I don't want her to let the parents be the bullies and to tell Robin that she can't date me anymore.What is her heart saying? Is her heart saying that I'm not the one for her? I don't know.Her Parents aren't giving us a chance to let this relationship blossom.She can't allow herself to be so weak and not let people step all over her like a cheap rug.Whatever Robin's decision is clearly up to her and her only.I'm hoping that in the near future that I can try to take care of her but we'll have to see what happens and take this relationship one step at a time. :)

Today's would be better, but my mom's screaming at me about the SATs.. I don't even NEED to take them this year, and she's already threatening to take things away so I can study.

Perhaps you should have a few things "taken away" so you can study and won't get distracted. Worked for me.

Anyway, I was feeling a little under the weather yesterday (a little sinus pressure/headache), probably from the stress I endured this week. I'm all better now.

I'd agree, if I were actually distracted. The test isn't even until June, and I have no materials, but my mom is ASSUMING I won't study and threatening... I have no problem studying.

Sounds like you're in the same boat as my daughter. She just signed up for a SAT prep course a couple hours every Saturday. She's been procrastinating too, but with some "gentle" prodding, she's getting ready for them, and you may as well accept it and put forth a good effort towards it. Andrew, isn't it wonderful to get all this advice from people that don't have to do it.  :)  good luck with those. I'm sure you'll kick SAT butt!

I've taken it thrice myself... every year since I was 12, I've taken the High School SAT. I prepare a very good deal, she knows that, I think all the screaming's a bit unneccessary. But then, she's sick, so it might just be that.

12, what are you a dang prodigy?  I think I was reading curious george at 12.  ;D  Screamin don't help, I think she just wants to make sure you HEAR HER, not effective communication unless you're trying to scare or intimidate to get the desired behavior. I get grump when tired and sick, don't most of us. Try to endure.

Great day at work. We tried to put on an accents all day....but after a while, it turned into kind of a Southern/British/Chinese mix.

12, what are you a dang prodigy?


Nah, just good at blind memorizing.

you a seller?

yes...I actually have a little side business. I sell items on Ebay for people that hire me to do so.  I specialize in vintage/retro items...but I will sell mostly anything in which I think will do well at auction. After the auctions end, we split the profit 50/50.  Currently I had some of my own items up this time around...but I continue everyday to try to build up my clientele.

that's great, I have been thinking about doing it just to sell some of my unused softball stuff and whatever else is sellable. I may need you to give me the ins and outs. Do you charge for consultation$$  8)

Today was a GREAT Day.

Never hurts to get early studying done ;)

I'm preparing bit by bit... I up my studying more each week or so. By June, I'll be more then prepared, trust me.

feeling pretty good, although it is only 9 am! LOL!  Just spending the day cleaning, for the most part.

w00-h00! Half term started today (officially), and I also don't have work!  :D

Spending the day chilling, posting here, Champ Man, that sorta thing  8)

I actually have to do things today DOH!

One task for the day is to find a very special kind of envelope  ::)

I'm a misused commodity  ;D

I believe ya ;)

Which reminds me...I gotta budget my time a little better than I've been doing lately. :-\\

Hmm.... I have a lot of studying to do tonight, maybe.. this chapter is real easy, but it's a whole chapter. I've been studying, and now's the big review. I think I'm good, but I gotta get working. I'll also be walking to the pharmacy accross town in a few minutes to get a few things.

Feelin' pretty good today.

Relaxin' after a lot of hard studying.. gonna review later again.

Robin invited me over to her house after my group therapy tomorrow for Valentine's Day then her Parents started to complain about me to her saying that you're seeing him way too much and I said to Robin that's it's ok,I don't want this to be a hassle so Her And I will keep it for this Sunday since Yesterday was a snowstorm,Her And I will re-plan it for next Sunday and I'll take her out to a nice Restaurant and then back to her house for a late Valentine romance and a movie. ;)

I woke up this morning with a migraine, my oldest came home with a migraine and I have noone to run the cub scout meeting tonight so I have to do it with a migraine >:(


Eww, I had one of those yesterday... I didn't even touch my computer yesterday, I was just laying on the couch for most of the day...

Hope you feel better!!

No, apparently, he did a GREAT job, he just got stuck with a total prick for a son.


Pssshh... he needs to get a glimpse of the real world before he judges you... you don't sound like you're hooked on crack, getting various girls pregnant, involved in gangs, stealing, putting graffiti on people's property...

Just remember, you've only gotta play the game for a couple more years... and keep that in your mind... it's only a game... just play the part.  But in your mind, you should be concentrating on what YOU want and what is going to make YOU happy... That is what you should really be planning for, even if you have to go through the motions of showing that you're planning to do what he wants you to do.  Once you turn 18, there's nothing he can do if you decide not to go to college, or if you get a job, or move out...  And he doesn't have a prick for a son... he's actually lucky compared to many other parents...

Feeling great! I went to the Marah show with my friend tonight. They played for a crowd of about twenty. They were phenomenal.

Ack! Got a slight headache today, typical when I don't get enough sleep.

I thought you said "Marsh" at first, and I was wondering why our young Marsh would be performing for crowds of people, and what exactly he would do..  ;D

Ah, well there we go.

Unfortunately, I can't :(  I get them so often, I've learned how to deal with them and get on with things unless it's REALLY bad, then the only thing I can do is lie in bed with an ice bag on my head, a puke-bucket by my side, no lights, no sound.  I've still got a small headache today, but it's bearable.




If I start to get a headache, I take Tylenol right away... if the headache doesn't stop, I know it's going to be a migraine... if I lay down and close my eyes before it gets too bad, it usually doesn't develop into a full-on migraine.  But if I try to just get on with things, it will become a bad one.

It was a good day.. I think I did well on that Math Test. I have a moderately-relaxing evening, if all goes as it should.

I'm feeling pretty good lately.Au Bon Pain is great,Robin is doing well despite that she wanted to invite me to come over today but her Parents being the scumbags that they are don't want me over on the weekdays so Her And I will just keep it for Sundays.

My daughter and her fiance' got their loan approved for the house they've been wanting.  I'm happy and sad all rolled into one  :-\\

Ack! Got a slight headache today, typical when I don't get enough sleep.

I know how that is; I often feel like I've been sleep deprived. :-[ I woke up with sinus pressure last Friday, and it escalated to pain. I'm not always sure of what to take for it. I figure if I take Aleve, then it'll work best if I eat something as well.

Feel quite good today.

Take this time to focus on your job, then.. might as well keep busy.  ;)

party.They wait 'til I leave and add a whole bunch of new
arcade games.Well,anyway it feels good to be back.

I hear ya with that happy/sad thing. But it is good for them.

I feel like my friends are getting sick of me again.. f--k them, I don't need this.

I hear The Vice President needs a new hunting partner any volunteers..... :D :D

welcome back Loki! :)


Thank You Erin,it's good to be back.

Take this time to focus on your job, then.. might as well keep busy.  ;)


That's right Whiskey.I've got to keep myself busy at work so I'll try not to think about her as much.I'm just so obsessed about her sometimes.

After a 10 day hiatus it feels great to be back.the only thing is
I feel like the kid who got sent to bed so the parents could
party.They wait 'til I leave and add a whole bunch of new
arcade games.Well,anyway it feels good to be back.


Nice to see ya back, Loki! 8)

YAY! Congrats to them! I know how frustrating that can be...we went through it last year...best of luck to them both! :)

Thanks, Erin. Luckily it's gone pretty smooth so far. My husband and daughter are talking about what we're going to do with the extra room  :(  Tony said to me "you're going to turn it into a shrine to her, aren't you?"  ;D  He acts all tough now, but we'll see what happens when she moves out.  ;)

Hm. Good day. A few disappointments, but a good day.

Feeling alright, and I'm 1.8 lbs down from last week after several sets of treadmill marathons.

Nice to see ya back, Loki! 8)


Jeff


Thanks Jeff,
the 10 days I was gone was pure hell,not being on the boards
I actually had to do real things around the house.

Okay day. Mad at a few friends, but I'll get over it.

I Feel Fine
I didn't piss anyone off today and nobody got my temp to rise, so far it's been a good day. I feel like working out which is a good thing.

Well, hubby found a dead mouse on Sunday in the basement so the "pest control" people came out.  The good news is that they only seem to be in the 1 area...the bad news is they can't figure out where they're coming in at :-\\  Oh, and the guy found 2 dead mice....one sticking out of one of the bait stations and another IN one of the bait stations....he said the bad thing about removing them is that they tend to not go near the dead ones as the poison makes the decomposing bodies emit a smell that they try to avoid so they might start travelling a bit more :(


Time to get a cat.  :P

feeling achy and my muscle/joints hurt. :-\\

Thanks Jeff,

I often have to do things around the house as well. But I always find some time to be here.

Speaking of "the house", today (Feb. 15th) marks five years to the day since we got the keys to our new house...which we will have lived in for five years this Monday!! :D :)

Wait......you mean you actually DO things around the house?  And FINISH them?  What a guy :)

I'm a guy who does things around the house too. Gotta keep it clean!

Ever wanted to live in Illinois?  I've got a spare bedroom ;)


No thanks...I've been to Illinois only once, and that was twelve years ago this June.

Today was okay... tomorrow's looking okay, too.. Lauren was in an accident in Physics, though... something exploded in her project, and there was some aerosol nearby.. luckily, she only got a few singed hairs and such, she's okay otherwise.

I'm feeling pretty good today.I went into Au Bon Pain for my morning coffee,My supervisor saw me and I said hello then he said that the coffee is on me so I didn't have to pay any money.Since I do part time work downstairs and he knows that I volunteer upstairs in the Hematology/Oncology Unit,He decided to give me the coffee for free.I told him that I'll see him on Saturday at 1pm. :)

OMG...the poor girl...I am glad to hear she is okay though! ;)

Based on what I heard and what she said, she's alright.. I just hope that she's really okay.

Today was okay. I took that Chem test, felt it went fairly well. I know I got at least 3 bonus points, so that's always good. I have a busy weekend, and some time with the lady tomorrow.

I'm feeling pretty good today.I work tomorrow from 1pm-7pm so I'll be home late as usual around 7-8pm,Wash my outfit,call a few people including Robin and get ready for the next day. :)

Sounds cool. Do you work Saturday, then?

I just finished a 9-hour shift, so i'm feeling sick, tired and really p*ssed off. I've worked everyday this week and i'm starting to get sick. By Monday i'll have snapped, I know it...

Same here. I've been working my ass off, and I'm feeling sick, but I have to keep this up all weekend.. and my dad's home without my mom, so that means I won't get any extra sleep tomorrow morning.. oy.

Feelin' pretty good today. 8)

Congratulations on the 2 years Jeff.  that is a achievment.
I feel pretty good. It's Saturday morning, I look forward to a good day starting with some good strong coffee and birthday celebrations with a chinese banquet style meal for lunch and cake and ice cream. that makes me feel good just thinking about it.

Sounds cool. Do you work Saturday, then?


Yes,At Au Bon Pain 1pm-7pm Saturdays and I'm loving it a whole lot. :)

My dad just left and mom will be in soon.. so a bit of time to chill.

a bit hungry after the long drive, hoping to escape this flat (again!! - Gawd I just got back) and go to Brighton seafront for a sandwich or something once Chris can tear himself away from the freakin' football on telly  ::) ::) 

The dance was fun.. I still feel like I did something wrong, but what else is new? That's all I do.

I sang better then I ever have.

had a decent day....kept busy this evening..working on my Ebay stuff.

My day was kind of boring, but at the same time I felt that I should have been doing something.  It was really annoying.

And now a plea for help:  If any of y'uns know anything about constructing remote control circuits using RF or IR, please send a PM my way.  I am the Robot Rambler for my school's team at the Science Olympiad.  Considering I had to learn the entire field of electronics from scratch, I think I'm doing pretty well--but as the deadline looms, I'm starting to wonder if I'm in over my head.  :-\\  But anyway, I just need some tips to make sure I don't screw up the remote control portion.  So, if you can help, please do PM me.  :)

Haven't been on much this week.  :-\\

Feeling good, things are finally starting to get organised with university courses beginning this week and the prospect of moving house in a few weeks. The last year has been rather boring, and It is really time to actually do something for a change.  8)

I've been here 4 years myself. :)

I'm feeling pretty good today.Work at Au Bon Pain was busy and sloppy as usual and I got paid yesterday.I was told that workers get paid every week so the money for me will be coming in.Right Now,I'm going to bank my checks so I can at least build up my bank account a little higher to bring it up to a normal amount. :)

Awesome, Howard.  8)

I see on their web site that they have a 401k plan with some company match.  You might want to ask if that applies to part-time employees.  (Most companies only offer this to full-timers, and sometimes only after one year).  That might be a way to score even more bucks when you go fuill time.  :o

I have days like that.. they suck.

Today's shaping up to be okay.. my dad's here, but he's hung over... some guy he hadn't seen since high school bought him a bunch of shots.. and, like he says: "When someone buys you a 4-dollar drink, you're kinda obligated to finish it."... so I have a nice, quiet day ahead of me.

I've been here 4 years myself. :)

I know. :)

Well, changed plans.. spent a nice afternoon with the lady.

Had an extremely boring day. But I'm so hyper right now... without the consumpion of caffeine.  :o

this could be a good time to use that hyper-ness to rack up some high scores in the arcade.
I'm feeling mellow and laid back as usual, not hyper, not bored or tired. I'm feelin kinda steadfast. Feel like looking thru the dvd's and see what looks good.

Ugh. F*ck this sh!t.

Ugh. F*ck this sh!t.


Tellin' ya, just vent. Get it all out, get a good night's sleep.

Feeling fine now but earlier today I was tired. I probably won't be sleeping until late as usual though.

Yesterday,I wanted to take Robin out for a late Valentine's dinner to a nice Italian Restaurant for the one we couldn't do last week cause of the 2 feet of snow in New York and I wanted to make it up to her but she had coupons & We wound up having our dinner at McDonalds which didn't have any romantic feel to it.Later,We exchanged our gifts and mine was a Dylan's Chocolate Bar gift pack and I gave her my gift and then later we watched a PPV film Dark Water,made out and I went home at about 7pm and that was that.So much for a romantic dinner. ::)

-The 40-year-old Virgin

We moved into our new house 5 years ago today!! (Feb. 20, 2001.) :D 8)

Nice. We've been here about 5 years ourselves...

Here's what I wrote earlier:

What should have been a great weekend turned out quite bad. Ever had one of those times where everything's fine, then you start thinking, and realize how bleak things are, and how much worse they're going to become? Happened to me.

I mean, think about it... think about what you want to do most in this world... can you honestly see yourself doing it? Can you really see yourself accomplishing any of the things you want? I've tried the hardest I could to shut out those sort of dreams and ambitions, because I knew they would never come true. And now, thoughts of those desires have crept back into my mind, and they won't leave. Everywhere I go, it doesn't stop. Even just sitting in the movies, watching a comedy, I can't be happy.. All I can think is how nothing's working, how there's no way I can really be happy and do what I'd want in life, how I'm trapped in this prospective future I hate, with no realistic way to achieve anything I actually want.

I did a damn fine job of suppressing all these stupid thoughts and all this discontent up until now...

What do you wanna do with your life!!!

I remember feeling depressed, and didn't really have a reason to be but I was, I was married, had a child, good job, friends, but felt like there wasn't any adventure and felt I should do something, anything to fill that need, urge. I didn't, but the feeling went away. The feelings come and go. just accept it. However, if you don't make an effort to accomplish some of your goals, you'll regret it so keep those dreams and ambitions alive and perhaps the doors will open to you to do some of them. for now, just get thru the day.

But at least you got to spend time with her.

Time is so important.


Yeah,That's true.At least,I got to spend time with her which was very important. :)

I'm feeling pretty good today. But that may change depending on how the rest of the day goes.

I know they come and go, it's just upsetting me right now.

The thing is.. all my ambitions get me cast out of my family, pretty much.

I guess I must've over-reacted about where Robin And I went for our belated Valentine's Dinner.It's the thought that counts even though It's McDonald's,I had a great time with her at her house anyway. :)

I'm feeling a bit stressed, as a lot of work is being shoved on me tonight... But I just got a new CD, Momus' Hippopotamomus. It's a great CD.

I'm still feelin' good about most things in my life right now. 8)

I had a very busy and nice day...I am content. :)

that would be a little upsetting, to be sure. maybe one day, your family will be a little more accepting of you and your ambitions, perhaps not soon, but eventually they may.

Not on top of the world but not too bad either.

Nice family argument about money. Essentially, I had a sum of money promised to me for a specific purpose, now that promise is being reneged. Hey, fair enough. I've never been one to expect anything to be given to me, just thought it was kind of odd that it was promised and then taken away. Even though no circumstances have changed.

Aw, man.. I'm sorry that talk didn't go better. They're not gonna help you at all..?

I had a good day yesterday and hope to have another good one today. :)

I'm going to bargain.

Interest Free Loan.

Under the circumstances I feel that's more than fair seeing as this was money that was at one point earmarked mine.

I feel like I'm gonna puke :(



Aim the other way then.

I feel like I'm gonna puke :(


What's wrong, Kim?  ???

I don't know.  I woke up this morning feeling icky.  The stomach flu is going around the kids' school, I hope I didn't catch something there :(  I'm not pregnant, that's for sure ;)


Stomach flu is nasty...I sure hope that's not what you have!  :(

that would be a little upsetting, to be sure. maybe one day, your family will be a little more accepting of you and your ambitions, perhaps not soon, but eventually they may.


I hope, but it's doubtful.. they've never been keen on my ambitions, and they're getting worse as time goes by.

You.. You got it?!

great.
:)

I was worried about Robin last night on the phone talking with her.She was telling me that she has a growth or pimple or something tumor-related on her forehead and it's red.It could be worse but I hope that there's nothing wrong with Robin.She'll probably go to a dermatologist and have it checked out.I still say that it could be a pimple but we'll have to see about that.

I hope it's nothing too serious, Horward. :-\\ She'll probably be okay.

Keep us posted of what happens. ;)

I'm feelin ok, sort of in a hazy fog, the song dazed and confused comes to mind as today is the last day of my 40's. At midknight I will turn fifty years old and that is a trip. I had my birthdate on the calendar, but changed something in my profile and it got removed. I ain't trying to hide it  ;)

You.. You got it?!

I also got Otto Spooky.. DAMN! Two great albums.

Why would it get removed if you changed something else in your profile?

I feel awful.

This tooth is impacted and has become infected. It's coming out today but due to the way it's in there I get the impression they're going to have to break my jaw. I just want it out, they can break my leg if they want.

I can't believe how much one damn tooth can hurt.

Sorry you're in pain, but remember....vicodin is your friend 8)


Yeah, they better give me some.

Sorry your fellin' crappy, lock the kids in the basement and have a nap.

What they don't break your ribs when they kneel on your chest to pull the tooth out!  ;)

Today was okay. Some of my stressors are alleviating.. I'm making my dad a gift.. he's going away for a week or two, so I'm putting all his favorite songs on some CDs for him.

I feel like I'm catching a cold. :-[ I felt just fine five hours ago, but I've been sneezing a lot lately. Which makes me wonder if i'm getting sick. Fortunately for me, my classes are done for the week.

I don't tend to sneeze when I've got a cold.. I just have a really runny nose. Maybe you're allergic to something?

I'm feeling ok today.I lost my volunteer I.D. badge when I last noticed it gone clipped onto my shirt pocket then I went into a panic and I was trying to re-trace my steps all around the supermarket but I didn't want to do that after a while anymore because people will think I'm strange,So I left the place and I'll try to get a new one soon enough. :(

Mood shift.

Feeling alright although I had to call the technical recruiter to find out what's going on with the background check investigation. My drug screening test cleared but apparently they've still yet to check my background which isn't good as I owe money to the government due to taxes and I worry about getting lazy while not having a job yet.

I am so tired. Maybe I need a vacation....Oh wait...  ;D ;D ;D



Cat

I'm feeling pretty good today.I'm looking forward to working tomorrow 1-7 at Au Bon Pain. :)

I can't exactly say that I'm starting to get better. I was sneezing so much yesterday afternoon. Today I'm sneezing less and trying to get better.

Thank you, Karen...I started feeling like this yesterday morning, after my first class. Don't know how I got like that.

Best of all, I have nowhere to go today, so I'll just be cooped up in the house. Having Friday off does have its advantages. 8)

Cat
;D  ;D  that just ain't right Cat

Well, I've had fun and now must allow my heart to be sad as a 16 year old sophomore girl from my daughters high school was killed in a car accident last night. My kid Julie said they weren't friends but she'd seen her at school. She was a cheerleader and they have her pic in the paper, it's so very sad. Very close to home as my daughter Julie is 16, she's in bed quited drained from all the crying her and her classmates did today at school when they were given the news. I feel so heartbroken for this family and sad that this young girls life ended too soon.  Her name was Jenny and the school is having a memorial for her tomorrow. It's gonna be a rough day for the kids there. Anyway, I don't reveal my sensitive side too much, or express my feelings but this hurts and I don't even know the kid, but the fact that I've been the morning carpool dad for the last 3 years and I see these kids everyday makes it hit kinda hard.  :\'(

awww man, that's rough...so hard when someone young dies like that.  My senior year, I had a very close friend die of cancer...it was heartwrenching.  I hope she feels okay...that's a tough thing to go through, even if they were not friends. :(

It is sad when they're so young and I bet you remember quite well how tough it was. Yeah, I hope Julie's ok. She's gotta do some grieving, mourning, weeping. I remember my older sister was in high school and a teacher died or got killed and my sisters friend was super close to the teacher, and was so saddened that she committed suicide. this was back in 1967,68 I think. I remember my sister crying for hours after she found out her best friend had died. This recent death was the result of an intoxicated young driver, and the girl wasn't wearing her seatbelt. He slammed into a light pole, other injuries but she didn't survive.

One peer from my class in my junior year from high school died from cancer, after she lost all her hair. I wasn't friends with her but I knew her since elementary school. That was a very unfortunate experience as other students in my class were close friends with her but it hit me hard as well. The school actually developed a writing scholarship in her name, The Anneka McMillan Scholarship, for poetry.

That's just awful, It's gonna be tough but with a guy like you around hopefully you can help them work it all out.
I remember in High School a guy I knew, not real well, but well enough to shoot the breeze with in class got killed. I didn't really know what to do, dieing was something old people did, not people you knew  :-\\

Well, I've had fun and now must allow my heart to be sad as a 16 year old sophomore girl from my daughters high school was killed in a car accident last night. My kid Julie said they weren't friends but she'd seen her at school. She was a cheerleader and they have her pic in the paper, it's so very sad. Very close to home as my daughter Julie is 16, she's in bed quited drained from all the crying her and her classmates did today at school when they were given the news. I feel so heartbroken for this family and sad that this young girls life ended too soon.  Her name was Jenny and the school is having a memorial for her tomorrow. It's gonna be a rough day for the kids there. Anyway, I don't reveal my sensitive side too much, or express my feelings but this hurts and I don't even know the kid, but the fact that I've been the morning carpool dad for the last 3 years and I see these kids everyday makes it hit kinda hard.  :\'(


You may have heard about "Kayla Reed" on the news. She died about two months ago and was in my grade. I didn't know her, but it was heavily publicized.

how did she die? :-\\

how did she die? :-\\


two stories... One: She was raped by people on myspace
Two: (One that nobody is supposed to know and my dad has special access to and isn't broadcasted on the news).. her mom did it.

Her body was found in a creek.

thanks, They just showed it on tv on the local news station. My wife called me in to see. they showed her pic, then the accident scene, the pic of the 19 yr old driver responsible, then her family at home. tomorrow is gonna be a really sad day at Salesian High in Richmond. I'm usually pretty strong and a good source of support, but this one has me feeling a little weakend, I'm here to tell ya.

One peer from my class in my junior year from high school died from cancer, after she lost all her hair. I wasn't friends with her but I knew her since elementary school. That was a very unfortunate experience as other students in my class were close friends with her but it hit me hard as well. The school actually developed a writing scholarship in her name, The Anneka McMillan Scholarship, for poetry.
Sad but it is honorable to remember someone in that way.

yeah, almost too shocking to believe. Another sad story for sures. You went to school with her? I'm sure it was quite sad for all there.

::) i wouldn't say so... A lot of jokes were going around. Not many people that I know of knew her too well.

well, even so...it's still pretty rude to make jokes about her dying....period...ya know?..regardless if she was brutally killed or not. :(

It it is sad nonetheless, and if people could get a feeling of the fear and suffering and pain she experienced, I can guarantee there would be no joking. but it's a done deal. The death of a fellow human being isn't really funny.

Just got back from the Basketball game.. Duke Vs. Temple... I don't even like Basketball that much, but it was a great day.

We went to get something to eat before the game, and a band was playing at the place.. they did a few Ween, Oasis, Modest Mouse, and Flaming Lips covers.. it was awesome.

Probably exciting just to be there, and two college powerhouse teams. College basketball energy is great. All the students, the rooting sections, the bands. I like going to college games more than pro.

Feeling a little better today. When I talk, I don't sound normal (at times I can get raspy), but that'll hopefully change tomorrow.

Yes, I developed this cold on Thursday morning, as I may have mentioned two pages ago (on this thread).

Well, it's almost 6:30Am.. gotta get up in 2 hours to help Erin teach a plethora of two-year-olds at church. Oh, joy.

'Night--er...morning..? Eh, Whatev.

feelin tired are we?  maybe you'll get 90minutes of sleep. take a nap this afternoon so you don't feel too drained. 330am here and I am running out of gas, but i feel good because I had 4 of my best friends over to play poker, and I won some money and we had some good food and fellowship.

Today was a very good day.. so far.

Today was a calm and relaxing day.

Well...I think I'm getting better. I've been blowing my nose a little more. In addition, this afternoon I've developed a little sinus pressure, which is not totally gone yet.

I should be all better by tomorrow.

Hope ya feel better, Jeff. :)

Healthwise, feeling alright with the exception of a "slight" runny nose. Otherwise I'm a bit nervous concerning my job for which the recruiter still hasn't scheduled an orientation for me plus the pressure of having to pay the bills next month.

Thank you, Erin.

Pleased to hear it Jeff.

Pleased to hear it Jeff.

Thank you Karen. I had a cold over the weekend, and it seems to have completely faded away as of now. :)

I'm in a pretty good mood today.  Our income tax refund hit our bank account. :) 


How nice!  8)

Today was okay, but I'm very tired. Need some rest tonight. But I gotta study, I do.

I'm feeling pretty good these days despite getting over a slight cold these past few days. :P

Good to hear that.  It may have been allergies, though, if you were just sneezing.  I never used to have them, but have developed them in the past few years. :-\\

I'm in a pretty good mood today.  Our income tax refund hit our bank account. :) 

Well I did sneeze quite a bit on Thursday...by Friday afternoon I was blowing my nose every few minutes...and by Saturday I began to get better. My sinuses had been bothering me yesterday...which is one reason why I didn't get to the 'puter till the evening.

I'm completely better now; there's no sign of my cold. O0

If it had been just allergies, though, I probably would've been over it sooner.

I've got a bit of a cough now.. I can't stop hacking up this crap.. it's annoying. I think I'm still sick, but still not enough to take the day off.

My 17 year old totalled her car today. She was pulling into my work to come see me before she went to work, and there are 2 lanes of cars coming toward her and one lane was stopped and the lady waved her on. . . . bad idea. There was a car coming in the other lane and hit her.  It was one of my worst nightmares come true.  We thought she broke her hand because she couldn't move it and the airbag hit her face and busted her mouth pretty bad. Seeing that blood on her face, I just lost it.  Xrays showed no broken bones though, just from the air bag deploying. She's pretty banged up and sore, but thank god she's alright.  The car is history, but that's the least of my worries right now. I'm just now getting the chance to sit down and think about it, and I keep thinking of what could've happened.   :( The people in the other car are ok, didn't need to go to the hospital. I'll be giving my kids a little tighter hug tonight I think.

Gemini, I'm so thankful and glad your daughter is gonna be ok, geez what a nightmare, just gotta keep praying for these kids day in and day out. I will keep her and family in my prayers. Thanks goodness for the airbag, even though it kinda punched her in the mouth, things could have been worse. Hug her good and give thanks she's ok, I'm sure you already have. keep us posted.

Couldn't Gumby wait till he got home? ;D

Not really.  Colds usually last 5-7 days, but allergies come and go and can last a few days to months.  If you had no cough or anything other than sneezing/runny nose, it was most likely allergies as colds usually have other symptoms....

I had a bit of a cough on Saturday (and part of Sunday morning); the crud had gotten into my throat. But it wasn't that big a deal.

Last time I'd had a cold, which was back in September, I started feeling crummy on the evening of Thursday the 8th, and I didn't feel completely better until the morning of Tuesday the 13th. So, five days altogether. But on Wednesday the 14th, I had sinus pressure.

I often think of allergies as lasting a day or two, and that's it.

I see.

Or I could still be wrong. That's just what I think. My most recent "cold" -- as I define it -- lasted 3 or 4 days.

I had a pretty good day yesterday, despite the rain.

Check THIS out to see :)

So...according to that link, what I had was just an allergy??

Wait. It said "cold symptoms generally last 7 to 10 days"...but that implies that some of the time they don't. I did have some of these symptoms this past weekend...and I had them 5 1/2 months ago as well. But they subsided within a week.

It could have been.  I thought I was just getting a lot of small colds, but when I went to the doctor, it turned out I have developed allergies in the past few years, which is quite common, I guess. ???  Mine have been pretty bad this winter since it's been so mild.  The other way I can tell is that I rarely sneeze from a cold, but I am a sneezing machine when my allergies are acting up. 

My only known allergies are certain breeds of cats (which I haven't had a known allergic reaction to in almost 11 years), and possibly dust in the air. Or I could have inadvertently caught a cold from someone last Thursday and I just didn't know it.

Anytime I have profuse sneezing, it usually develops into a cold (here we go again) and I am "under the weather" for a few days.

is he...HUMPING your leg?? ??? :o


That Gumby.. always tryin' to get some.

Getting a bit sick.. It hurts like a thousand razors upon my chest when I breathe.

If you don't mind me asking... do you keep a journal, or do you actually remember this stuff??  I'm just curious because I usually can't even remember what I ate a couple days ago...

If you don't mind me asking... do you keep a journal, or do you actually remember this stuff??  I'm just curious because I usually can't even remember what I ate a couple days ago...


I usually think of these things with special events that happened around the same time. Then I can find an estimated date.

I'm feeling much better now.My cold had lasted about 2 days and it was all because my house was dry and warm.

If you don't mind me asking... do you keep a journal, or do you actually remember this stuff??  I'm just curious because I usually can't even remember what I ate a couple days ago...

Well...I have kept a diary or journal in the past. Often times I remember cartain things without ever writing them down.

I still keep a log of things that happen in my personal life, just not always on a daily basis. If I feel something is eventful, I like to write about it. :)

Or I could still be wrong. That's just what I think. My most recent "cold" -- as I define it -- lasted 3 or 4 days.

Wow, everyone is sick.. even the fabulous moi.

This morning I woke up with something funny going on in my stomach. Let's just say there was more than one pit-stop this morning. I decided to postpone leaving the house and was correct in my assumptions that more would follow. Anyway, that had ceased by 12 o'clock so I started doing what work I could here.
I decided to watch a documentary at about 3 and fell asleep half way through it, I woke up about 25 minutes ago and feel hideous. My throat is raw, i'm stuffed up, my fingers and wrists ache, my neck aches and I've already started getting hot. All in the space of about an hour  :o

We have a school near us that is closed because so many people are sick. It's going around our area like wildfire and it looks like it's taking awhile to get over it.

No headache around  ;D

Mmmm, delightful. I'll look forward to a week of this.
I've only been sick once in the past 5-6 months I think. That was a nasty one though. Whatever it was I got, I caught it around late December and had only fully got rid of it about 3-4 weeks ago.

Your colds,How long does yours last like mine lasts about 2 days then I'm feeling much better.

Mine usually last less than a week.
