Because I felt like it, NYAH :P

I'm beyond pissed right now. Thank you.

...and you wouldn't like her when she's angry...

Kin told me to respond here, so I shall. Frankly I've been awake for more hours than I care to count. Any more and I'll start speaking in tongues. On the plus side, I've worked on two Wikipedia articles all morning, but neither of them are anywhere near being finished, so who knows...

All hail Bobo, WikiMaster!

Hm...I happen to like the title of this thread..it reminds me of Strawberry Shortcake and friends, for some reason. LOL.

Anywho....I'm having a decent day today. w00t.

I've been out drinking so I feel a bit pissed in the british sense of the word  :D

Wicked PISSAH!!!  :D

I've been out drinking so I feel a bit pissed in the british sense of the word  :D



hahaha..I just love that term. :D

hahaha..I just love that term. :D



So confusing for me to read the word when it is meant in the American sense of 'angry' 9sort of).  I think I would tend then to say pissed off about...

First I was confused when I didn't see the usual title...but hey, this works too! It's all good. :)


Anyway I spent the last evening of January at my waltz dance class, at which I'm having a good time. I enjoy dancing with all the ladies. :) 8)

Feel like I'm in a pressure cooker.....

I'm tired of waiting.
It seems like everything is about waiting.....

Waiting for Tax Refunds.
Waiting for Melissa's job interview.
Waiting for them to accept her for the position.
Waiting for Mom's stuff to finish up, so she can get on with things.
Waiting for the chance to get the hell outta here.
Waiting for my bandmates to catch up with me, so we'll be ready for our 2 gigs, this month.

I've been stressed enough the past 3 days to wonder how I have any hair left on my body.

I've been out drinking so I feel a bit pissed in the british sense of the word  :D
were you Tubthumping and pissing the night away karen?   

I love Feblueberry <  ???  I like that you post with an accent Rice 

How did this end up on page 3?  Nobody is feeling today? ;)

had a long meeting this morning Ugh  :P

Just off out to meet some friends for breakfast, then on to our knitting circle.

Why can't the snow hold off until tomorrow?  I have to drive the carpool in about an hour and it just started snowing like crazy. 

UGh....Vaughn had a 2 hour delay today, and he is already driving me nuts...gosh, this kid could drive a saint crazy. >:(

I hate February. With the exception of the kid's birthday next week, the whole month is utter crap. Thank goodness it's so short.

All hail Bobo, WikiMaster!


*WikiWiki*  :D

Federal return hit my bank account today.  So far so good this month :)

That's cool. My sis is getting a fat refund from Federal. Should be deposited on Monday.

The month is starting out with me feeling blue, but I guess it will pick up...either that or I'll write a parody about it...then I'll cheer up. :\'(

is this the monthly thread that usually is titled Feel any way/News of any form/What are you going to do today -  ???

if it is, then I will delete the one I started  ::)

this is the Official thread for February. I'll have the one I started removed by a Mod

A typical day for me. Out briefly this morning, posting a letter and to the shops. The rest of the day has been spent online here and waiting for two things. One, my family to come back home, and two, the expected clouds to build up and bring snow.

The girls are better, and the Federal Return hit the bank account today.
Bills are already paid, and I feel a bit better.

Now, if Melissa just gets this position, I'll be bouncing off the walls!

It has rained non-stop today, so far.  I had a lovely breakfast with my friends and then knitting and chatting over more cup of tea and cookies.

When the children get in from school we are heading across to Toys R Us to pick up some birthday presents for this weekend.  Elizabeth is going to a party on Saturday and another one on Sunday!  Also need to swap one of James's presents.  Someone bought him some Duplo so we are going to swap it for some Lego Mars Mission I think.

An extra day will make it last longer.

Ash and my brother got moved in to their house last Saturday.  It is quite nice. 


I guess im doing ok.  Im getting tired of shoveling the driveway and sidewalks.  It seems like storm after storm is coming in here.  LoL.

There's SNOW!  :o

I felt like Rocky during the montage in Rocky IV walking to campus today, 1.5 miles in 8 inches of snow, lots of leg lifts!  :D

And y'all are too anal, gotta switch things up a bit, can't have the same stank stale threads ALL the time eh?  :P

Ah someone who has taken my advice. I always said that if you want to win the hearts of the ladies-learn to dance-especially to waltz. You can literally sweep a lady off her feet and she will love you for it.  ;D

Had a pretty good day today. :)

finally, my work day is about to end and I can go home, but I do believe a stop on the way to pick up a pizza is imperative to my survival. 

woot!   i just ordered a half pepperoni and half combo pizza to pick up.

I spent from 3:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. last night in the ER.  :(  We had gone out to get something to eat when my hubby's paycheck was automatically deposited last night at midnight (well didn't get out out until 1:30, but I digress).  Then we went to Wal-Mart (which is open 24-hours) to stock up on some water and things because we were supposed to get lots of snow on top of the ice we already had.  The plan was to just stay in and hibernate this weekend.  I got so dizzy at Wally-Mart twice that I just had to sit down on the floor.  My head was spinning.  It calmed down after I sat for awhile.  The employees at the store (and naturally my hubby) were really concerned.  My hubby insisted we go to the emergency room (which was only two blocks away) in case I was having a heart attack.  They did two EKGs on me and X-rays and an I.V., but didn't find anything wrong with me.  They just decided I was dehydrated.  Even my sugar was good.  We came home and slept some then went out to eat with my hubby's friend at Qdoba Mexican grill.  It was tasty (and pretty cheap and fast for being a packed Friday night at the mall).  I came home and slept some more and now I'm awake.  And those are the thrilling tales of bookmistress4ever.  ;D

Now Patty! (said in a firm librarians voice) what happened to your promise to take better care of your health??  Seriously please look after yourself.

Today take it easy, I think you need to get that husband of yours bringing you drinks all day just to keep off the dehydration.  ;D

I have to get motivated today I have chores to do but I'm just sitting here in my dressing gown drinking tea.

Patty- be careful!

Jeff- Nice one!

As for me- found out tonight that one of our neighbors' children is basically having seizures from which they're not recovering. The baby is not expected to live to see another day.

My family is stunned. We knew the little one was diagnosed w/CP, but it appears that it may have been a misdiagnosis.

As a result- we are keeping prayers for them.

Do you require lube?


No,just fingers. ;D

Tonight, I will be attending a friend's birthday party...

...and I think Karaoke may be involved.

As for us, we WERE supposed to go to a public hearing on same-sex marriage. They asked Carlos to speak at it. The roads are really nasty even though the storm has moved out. I don't think we are going. I am sorry we aren't going to be able to go. I was looking forward to it.



Cat

That is too bad, Cat.  It is better that you two stay safe, though.

That is too bad, Cat.  It is better that you two stay safe, though.



I was hoping that they would postpone it but we haven't heard anything about it yet. We did email them but there may not be anyone around to get the email today. If they do have it, I'm sure there won't be too many people there because of the roads-which is a shame. It is an issue that both of us feel is worth pursuing. Yeah, I'm going to get a little political here. I don't understand how two men or two women getting married will have any effect on my marriage to Carlos? That argument never made any sense to me.

Ok, back to topic.


Cat

Leaving in a few minutes to go to the Cal Bear/USC Trojans womans basketball game over in Berkeley. I don't know if it's going to be televised or not. We' have 2 buses taking us to the game to support the UC Berkeley team since Coach Joanne Boyle goes to our church. after the game meet a couple players and have some pizza. should be fun.

We are going to watch the Hartford Wolfpack ice hockey game tonight.  No idea who they are playing but the tickets are cheap.

Dai is happy because Wales beat England in the Rugby.  I am sad because Wales beat England in the Rugby.  Actually he hasn't crowed over it as much as I thought he would.

I was yelled at from 3 different women because there were hardly any carts today and t'morrow's Superbowl Sunday.

Since this seems to be an ongoing complaint in your posts perhaps you should mention to your supervisor that the store needs more carts.

Sorry Karen,I was just angry today,didn't mean to be repetetive but I'll talk to my supervisor about this dilemma.

So many people going to sporting events. I too will be attending a game tonight. The Boy and I are
going to a hockey game tonight. The Flyers are playing the Ducks. We have Club Box seats, I don't
know how we'll fit in with the corporate types though, The Boy and I are true Philadelphia fans.  ;)

I hate our car. It always picks the most wonderful times to f**k up on us. We came out of PetSmart today to find that the battery was dead. We (or rather, my inlaws, because they are helping us this month) are now out $150 because a new battery had to be bought and we got an extra warranty on it.

NEVER EVER EVER EVER buying a f**king VW again. EVER.

I told you I hate February. :P

A friend of mine and I took the short ones to the Hannah Montana 3D concert/movie today.  They had a separate party going on that the kids went to as well.  The DJ said everyone who came down to dance got a poster.  Well, our girls went down and they never got one.  My friend went down to see if she could get one for them and the guy blew her off.  If you aren't going to give every kid a poster, don't say you will.  They made my kid cry and that made me a mad mommy.    >:(

Luckily, there was a radio station table with a spinning wheel and they gave the girls each a poster.  Still, don't make my baby cry, not cool.

hi friends...

something that made me happy...

I wish I had been home to log on before you left (as I am sure you have by now).  A member of the Ducks was a star at the university where I work---Chris Kunitz.  He scored in the last game of the Cup, I believe.  It was a really big deal here because every player got the Stanley Cup for 24 hrs and he used part of his to bring it back to Ferris before taking it home to Saskatchewan.  Crowds starting lining up at the hockey rink the night before.   :)

As for me, pretty good weekend, so far.  Got a lot done Friday night, went to a baby shower this evening, and have Micah's Superbowl party tomorrow.  I got the eggs boiled and in the fridge to devil them tomorrow, got cucumbers and green peppers cut up, so tomorrow just have to finish the eggs, get the meatballs going in one crockpot, get the lil smokies going in her football crockpot and make the beef dip she likes.  I was bad (eating) at the shower today, so I can't be as bad as I was going to be tomorrow.  I might still work out tonight before bed, but I will definitely do it tomorrow before we have to start getting stuff ready.   :)  I've lost almost 8 pounds since Jan 11.

Even in choir, since I was in the first row, my heart pounded loudly and I really felt like passing out.

Had a pretty good day, considering I was a little tired for a good part of the day. Maybe that's because we all need "down" time once in a while.

I hear ya Dagwood, I would have been pissed too.  don't promise the kids something and then not come through without a really really good excuse, and then their beating will only be less severe.  glad to hear the other radio station came through for the kids.  Hannah Montana hysteria, it's crazy  :D 



...today was an excellent day, a long day, a busy day, a really fun day & now we're home, relaxing from all the events.  I had to get up & be at our church at 9am to setup the rooms for the little ones. at noon about 100 of us piled into 2 school buses & went to UC Berkeley to watch the California Golden Bears women's basketball team play USC Trojans. The Bears won in overtime. it was awesome. I was yelling at the cheater referee to call the game fairly, & yelled "that's a horrible call ref" so loud Diane looked at me kinda scared like I was going crazy, but he was just pissing me off as he was only calling fouls on the Bears, & not the Trojans. after the game, we got to go hang out with the coach & one of her players. They spoke to our group & shared of their faith. next was pizza. Then buses took us back to church & they needed help setting up the musicians stage area so Diane & me got to be roadies for an hour, & then we went over to catch the tail end of a graduation party for a friend that just finished Police Academy. Starting Monday he will be a new San Francisco police officer. They had some kickass BBQ chicken & beef brisket from the best local bbq joint around.      that's about it.  8)

Today we plan to see Sweeny Todd and then I am going to cook Roast Beef. YUM

Tonight made me realize just why I hate drunk rednecks.

My Karaoke session went OK, until the granddaddy of all bar brawls erupted.
The only places something DIDN'T happen was behind the bar, and the back room.

I was busy trying to protect my equipment, shepherding innocents away from the brawl when it spilled into my area, and helping spearate a 12-or-13 person dogpile, because the bouncer couldn't do it alone.

What a damn mess.....

I nearly got a speaker damaged, and someone stepped on my foot.
Knowing the delicacies of my feet- that rather has me bothered.

I'll assess the damage in the morning.

Today should be twice as crazy as yesterday,I bet there won't be any carts to be found. ;D

Goodness!!  At least you, aside from your foot. weren't hurt!

Thank for the concern.
Unfortunately, with the amount of surgeries I've had due to my birth defect, coupled with the increasing need of therapy for my feet/legs/lower back, I am quite concerned.

Again, however- I will assess damage in the morning.

Ouch!!  Hope you really don't find much at all.

i have a great day planned just for me, since everyone else I know seems to be away.

watch the rest of Starstruck (yes, that goofy 80s movie)
take Bode to the dog run
go to a movie at the art house
pack up and plaly at a post-superbowl party


if I could just get off t his sofa!

Go Flyers! Go Knuble! :D

Yesterday i started a new job,i am now in the exciting restaurant biz ::)
It's funny i've been a waitress before and don't remember people being so cheap,everyone was in a party mood and half drunk still they made sure not to tip 8-P i sure hope it will get better or i won't be doing it for long...

Go Flyers! Go Knuble! :D


Knuble accounted for all the scoring getting the hat trick and a Flyers win, 3-0
but Henk I have to ask...why Knuble?

I already knew the result. ;) Just caught a glimpse on CNN (I think), and then I remembered "Hey, wasn't someone going to see that game?" So I checked this thread, and lo and behold!
FYI: I'm not a hockey fan, and I don't know any names. I just remembered Knuble scoring a hat trick, and the Flyers winning 3 to 0.

I got a phone call from my dad. My grandmother had a stroke and is in the Emergency Room.  :\'( :\'( :\'(  My dad thinks that this is probably it-she is 99 years young but the past year she hasn't been in the best of health. He doesn't think she is going to make to her 100th birthday party which is planned for Aug. She did tell my sister that if she isn't around, we are supposed to have the party without her. Anyway, we could use all the thoughts and prayers we can get.

Ahhh cat, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma.  It's always hard, isn't it?  No matter how old you (or they) are.

She'll be in my prayers, Cat. *hugs*

ditto.

i'm so sorry to hear it!

I got a phone call from my dad. My grandmother had a stroke and is in the Emergency Room.  :\'( :\'( :\'(  My dad thinks that this is probably it-she is 99 years young but the past year she hasn't been in the best of health. He doesn't think she is going to make to her 100th birthday party which is planned for Aug. She did tell my sister that if she isn't around, we are supposed to have the party without her. Anyway, we could use all the thoughts and prayers we can get.

I got you Girl.
100% in my prayers

Thanks everyone. I haven't heard anything yet. No news is good news?  :-\\

No news is definitely a good thing.

I'm not sitting here being stupid anymore, it's 50+ degrees out and sunny so I'm taking the motorcycle for
a ride. I'll be back later, probably around game time.

Cat, I am so sorry to hear the news, my thoughts are with you.

Got an email from my dad:


There are several hundred Jewish, non-theist, and other Quakers from Australia to England and all points in-between who are praying for, holding in the Light, or otherwise thinking about Grandma.

Dad/Grandpa



I could tell him that there are a lot more than just who he thinks. 


Thanks everyone.

Thanks Tam, and I did, What an exhilarating ride. I took my grandson with me and sometimes experience
is the best teacher. I told him to dress warm but he said he was warm enough. He learned real fast that
it is much colder on a motorcycle.  ;D

Yesterday was a chaotic scene at Pathmark,there were no carts to be found. :o ;D

yesterday was a fun and busy day. We went to church, and then out to lunch with my sister Beth and her boyfriend Justin, and her friend Natalie. It was great spending time with Beth! :) Then, we were invited to a superbowl party, it was lots of fun. I wasn't going to go at first because I wasn't sure how Vaughn would act...but he surprised me and was a very pleasant and well behaved kid. :)

As for today, I'm doing some stuff around the house during the day, and we have play practice tonight...that's about it. :)

Sitting here drinking a diet coke and reflecting on the strange people who always seem to bid on, or ask me bizarre questions about the things I'm selling on Ebay.

What do you sell?

At the moment I'm selling clothes. I had a huge sort out of my (vast!) clothes collection and am selling the stuff I never wear anymore.

women's or men's clothes?

Yesterday Elizabeth went to a friends house for a party.  She came home quite upset because she felt left out of things some of the time.  Also when the other girls were joking around they made Elizabeth feel bad when she joined in - implying that she was being rude for saying similar stuff to what they were.  She felt like she was butting in and wasn't really wanted.

She started crying at bedtime saying she wanted to go back to England.

Womens.

Poor thing, girls can be evil especially when they gang up or decide to cut someone out like that. I can still remeber how it felt when I had a similar thing happen to me.  :-\\

^that's too bad. poor dear.

Believe it or not, this happens to boys, too.
Having been the butt of all the jokes in school, I can relate.
Tell her to hang in there. It too shall pass.

How old is your daughter?  She may just have to play through the pain, so to speak...I came to America speaking poor English as well, and what English I spoke was with a British accent.  I eventually went to California Standard English and then I was fine after that, but I never remembered kids being THAT cruel...I was like 7 then.

She probably doesn't have to change her accent or anything, but all it really takes is one good friend and then she'll be fine.  I'd encourage her to keep trying to connect so she can find that one good friend, and more doors will open for her.

Well spoken! Karma for such words of wisdom.

UP-DATE:

Just IMed with one of my sisters. She said that my grandmother is aware of what is happening and she is not happy about it-and she doesn't know if that means Grandma is going to fight or give up.  :\'( :\'( :\'( Another sister gave Grandma her permission to let go.  :\'( :\'( :\'(  Both sisters and my cousin are taking shifts to be with her so at least she isn't alone.

I'm so sorry to hear this Cat. You and your family will be in my prayers, regardless of what happens. :(

Aww Cat,i'm truly sorry...it's got to be hard not to be near her but i'm sure she knows you're thinking of her. Big hug to you.


Thanks everyone who wished me good luck on the new job,last night the tips got better. Today and tomorrow i'm not working at all,no day job and no night job,i don't know what do with myself  :D

Yesterday I was watching an episode of Extreme Makeover: the Home Edition. The team were helping out the Brown family of Colchester, CT. and I was thinking "Colchester...I'm sure I've heard somebody mentioning visiting Colchester recently..."

I couldn't remember it then, but now I know it was Karen. Glastonbury is just around the corner...

Funny how there always seems to be a connection with this board and its members.


BTW: according to our Frappr account, Karen is still residing in UK.

That episode made me cry when they put a pic up at the end saying she died.  So sad.

I think we're talking different episodes here...but I think I know which one you mean: the Byers family.

So Boey died?! Oh God...I totally missed that.  :\'( That's really, really sad.

I only watched 1 episode of that show-that was the one that took place in Vermont. They kept having articles about it in the local paper as it was happening and asked if anyone wanted to help. And the turn out was INCREDIBLE!!! I can't remember how many people they said showed up to help out.

I made a little error there...The Brown family are from Bridgeport, CT. I know they mentioned Colchester in the episode though...can't remember in what context. :-\\

They always have huge crowds of people showing up and helping out...it's amazing! Kinda restores your faith in the human race.

When was that episode aired? I'm not sure if it's been shown here already, or if it's still to come.
