it will be July in about 7 minutes for me...so I decided to make the new monthly thread.


I cannot believe that it is July already. Unreal. :o

In just 3 hours it'll be July in my timezone. You are right...the time sure does fly. :o

I have a birthday this month.

Exactly halfway through 2008. Damn what a half year it's been! July is such a dull month though.

Oh yeah, Happy Canada Day to those who live way up there too. ;D

July, a month to sweat in here in Spain. The city is on the run towars the beach.

The mighty sun becomes merciless,
forty degrees in the shade
at night nobody can rest
but how much I love the summer, oh yeah!

From now on I use to go sailing. At midday the wind grows higher and you can get some fun from tackling, jigging and soaking.

Exactly halfway through 2008. Damn what a half year it's been! July is such a dull month though.
Be very careful! There are a few of us on these boards with birthdays in July so to us it is not AT ALL dull!!  ;)

Usually my social diary has tumble weeds blowing through it but yesterday I got my 4th invitation to something on the 18th of July *why* does that always happen? It's always the same day and then you have to choose between......... :-\\

I have some great plans for this month though, and sadly dental stuff as well.  :P

White Rabbit or White Rabbit

How eccentric this all feels- July is here.

Think I found the dog I'm getting, provided the lad isn't adopted yet.
He's a beautiful Corgi/Mini Pinscher mix. He's in Davis, but I don't care- I'll drive there, to get him.
They call him "Deuce", but the name doesn't fit him at all.

If I have my say about it, he will be called Nero, on account of his mostly black coloring, with some tan/brindle.

I am hoping that July will see a better month for me with jobseeking and whatever.

BTW, I am still sneezing.

Hoping July will be a good month for me.I'll most likely start to go out with my friend Kamika when she comes back from her vacation Kingston Town,Jamaica,West Indies.

A half a year has gone by,that's crazy!  :o

i think i've been posting here for three years now. huh. i could have used that time differently, but ....nah. i like it here.

Wow, July?  The year has flown.

Today my mom and I are taking Vaughn out to lunch and to see the movie, Wall E. It should be fun. :)

No! The trailers I have seen mean I can't bear to even think about seeing the film. I know I will cry!  ;D

Yay for Min-Pin!  Our ratdog is mini-Pinscher/Chihuahua mix. :)

Today is the first day of our new high sales tax: 10.25% :o  Needless to say, I'm not going to be doing that much shopping in this county.

Cool.  How did you get him in that ad?

I am hoping that July will see a better month for me with jobseeking and whatever.



Same here! My goal is to find a job ASAP; I have been trying for at least two summers to find a job. In fact, today I intend to search online some more and see what is out there.

This bites- I have almost entirely lost my voice.

i think i've been posting here for three years now. huh. i could have used that time differently, but ....nah. i like it here.



I've been here for 7 years this coming November.  :o

I can't believe i don't have to work on Saturday.  I can't.  3 days. me. I'm so happy!!!



I have to work on Friday AND Saturday. :(

Wow, July?  The year has flown.


Let's pray for a cool summer and nothing too hot.

Cool.  How did you get him in that ad?


My mom does data entry/order processing for the company.  Last year, the guy that does the photography for their catalogs and website saw some pics of Jason at my mom's cubicle and asked her if he could photograph him for the catalog.  We agreed, and he modeled last year and this year. :)

excellent!!

On a somewhat similar note, my dad was able to get a small picture of our dog Chloe into the front page of the newspaper he works for (but that was a few weeks ago already). I posted that picture in the Pets Photos thread shortly thereafter. :)

No! The trailers I have seen mean I can't bear to even think about seeing the film. I know I will cry!  ;D


I saw it today...it was SO good! Such a cute movie! :)

Picked the new (for us) car up from the garage today... $350 in repairs.  :o  :\'(  They put in a new CV Boot (whatever that is) and now it's making a grinding noise (that it wasn't before) when I press hard on the breaks to stop at the stoplight.  Although it doesn't do it every time. 

:(  We absolutely do not have any more money to take it in to get that repaired this month.  We still have to make a $600 payment on the car to the former owner.  I guess I'm still glad we got this car, but man... I really hope that it lasts a very long time without much in repairs.  :\'(

This month is going to suck money-wise.

Oh and my hubby is feeling poorly.  He's been feeling sick for about a week now, and even if I were to call the Veterans hospital (where his doctor's appointments are), he would not be able to be seen for at least a month.  I really hope that whatever is ailing him resolves itself really soon.

I hope he feels better by Thursday, we are supposed to go drive (4 hours) to see my family for Friday and his family on Saturday.  We haven't been back for a visit since Christmas and mom is telling me that dad looks at my picture and cries now, because he misses me.  oh dear.    I really don't want to have to move back there (it's a very economically depressed region and has been for 20 years with no end in sight) and I was so happy to have gotten out of there while I was relatively young, and now... if I decide to move back to be a dutiful daughter... maybe I won't be so lucky next time and be able to move away again.

Sorry, just freaking out a little.  ;D  It'll all be ok,  :-\\ at least that's what I keep telling myself.

I'm in a pissy bad mood. I feel like crying...and I really don't know why. I hate when I get like this. :-\\

Today is the first day of our new high sales tax: 10.25% :o  Needless to say, I'm not going to be doing that much shopping in this county.


10.25%..? I think I'm gonna move your way.


...Ours is 19%, and there's talks about raising it to 20%.

{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}} to you both Patty and Erin.

Today i have to work all day.  >:( My boss screwed up yet again grrr. He is off today, his deputy is covering another guys leave elsewhere and 2 of the 4 team leaders are on vacation. Both of the remaining team leaders, of which I am one, were meant to be off this afternoon so I have been asked/told to cancel my plans and stay in work so there is someone in charge! I guess at least I get to finish early on friday instead. :-\\

Got back an hour ago, from a raid in Biggs.

The Elementary School was getting rid of some old desks, and if they aren't gone tonight, they will be going to the Dump.
Melissa & I have discussed getting Teela a new desk or table, to have in her room, as she has outgrown her old table & chair set.

I went to investigate, and found opne in quite good shape, apart from a small carving of an "F", and part of the corner missing a little of the surface wood.
We have it cleaned up, and it has enough room that Melissa was able to sit in it!
(No way I was trying it!  :P )

So, Teela now has a new desk to draw at, or read at, or play w/her Moon Sand on, etc.

6 day weekend! HA!

;D
How about me, it has been a 365 day weekend.

I'm in a pissy bad mood. I feel like crying...and I really don't know why. I hate when I get like this. :-\\


I'm sorry you feel that way,cheer up.  :)

to all my friends here that are feeling badly, i hope it all gets better soon.

I'm going to the doctor this AM, no big deal, just a visit i was putting off out of laziness. 

work is still horrible, but i can take four days. 

So I thought I wasn't going to be working this week, but I forgot that Live 'off' the Levee begins this week.

(Due to the Levee's being structurally unstable in places with several tons of water behind them.)

So it will be at Soldiers Memorial which is in no way big enough a venue. Anyway, today it's time to set up the main stage for Joss Stone. There is another stage with lesser acts, one of which is a guy called Drake Bell. (Who?) Anyway, judging from the media guide he's some sort of mongoloid.

10.25%..? I think I'm gonna move your way.


...Ours is 19%, and there's talks about raising it to 20%.


Okay, I won't complain anymore. ;D

I wouldn't mind it so much if I knew that the extra fundage was going to something GOOD.  However, our county board president is pretty corrupt, and the extra money will probably go to his cronies that he elevated to high paying jobs. ::)

10.25%..? I think I'm gonna move your way.


...Ours is 19%, and there's talks about raising it to 20%.


Out here, in southern CA, ours is a lot less than that. In fact, there's only one digit before the decimal point.

Drake Bell stars on a show on Nickelodeon called, Drake & Josh...but now he is a singer. He's not a mongoloid...kind of a "pretty boy"

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t262/pinkyyomis/24-426Drake-Bell-Posters.jpg

I go on in my dear daily routime with those beauties called  vessels or ships.
Never mind, cause to pull and push beauties from sun up to sun down and besides overnight doesn't sound that bad at all.

In July, some peope like to run a hotty day along with some mighty herd of red eyes bulls so close to the horns no matters if they punch your butt.

Hemingway used to go to Pamplona by July to write later "The Sun Also Rises"...in July :)

bookmistress4eve, think of that, only poor things you can pay with money, the most expensive is just to be,  what is priceless, so heel your elders well and nothing else matters. ;)

I love the title of this thread.  Hard to believe it's July already.  This year is now 1/2 over.

We also have a low sales tax of 6%. One of the things taxed with 6% is water... Most stuff is taxed 19%, though.

I feel great today as my favourite football team won the big Rugby League series last night!!! But that was the only thing that recovered my night...

It was all setup for me to go over to my best mates place and watch the match on his large TV screen. I picked up the pizza and ribs...he bought the beer and we settled in for the night.  The phone rings and he starts haviing an argument with his girlfriend. No probs....we settle back into it. The phone rings again....same call from the girlfriend ....big phone row.  I ask him if he needs to go over to her place and talk it out.....no he says I'll let the dust settle and call her tomorrow.

20 mins later ...a knock on the door....and there she is all ready to talk NOW (on her way to meet a friend for drinks). She comes in and we all sit for a while and you can cut the air with a knife......they are trying to have a polite argument with me in the room. I get up and announce I'm going for a walk before the big game comes on (I didn't leave completely as I believed that she had another engagement anyway). I come back from my walk and she hasn't left and they are still arguing (and she is just sitting in her car).  Next moment the car is still there and she is nowhere to be found.  At this point I realise that she is not going anywhere, wants to stay and argue/talk and no football will be watched there. I make a last minute dash from his place to mine and get there as they kick off.....

Just as well the right team won...........I gave him a call this morning to make sure he was still alive.....

Was he? :D

July already? Eeeek! This is usually the hottest month of the year where I live, too!  :\'(

Only just..... ;)

Bleugh, can't stop coughing this morning for some reason. I think I already coughed up a lung, really don't feel like going to work now and I'm on 8.30am to 7pm today. At least I can drive the readers nuts with my cough when I do my reading room shift.

Today is the first day of our new high sales tax: 10.25% :o  Needless to say, I'm not going to be doing that much shopping in this county.


you all folks got to join "The Boston Tea Party" and sing this song :

Mohawks ! Bring out your axes.
And tell President George we'll pay no taxes.

When it comes to pay
there's no good day ::)

Beginning to feel slight despair....

The dog issue isn't going well at all.
Every time I find one I want- Whoops- There they went!

I'm beginning to think I'm not meant to have a pet.

Go to work early so we can all get out early, then tomorrow off YIPPEEEE!!!    ;D

Maybe we can find something different then tea now, because I like it so much, and it'd be a shame to waste it in a protest.  ;) ;D

And I think July will be the most hottest here in NY.

Looking forward to when my friend comes back from Kingston Town,Jamaica,West Indies and then I'll treat her to Golden Krust. :)

all the full-time employees in my office got together and quit today.

What is the story behind this? The world wants to know.

I bought my sister's computer off of her last week, so now it's all mine. I still need to get the CD drives accessing again(so my sis can burn the music that she saved on there) and do a format and reload so I can get rid of the problems it has.

Also got a Nintendo DS on Tuesday.

Yeah, that way you can save all those Cat-Girl images you've been trying to hide... ;D

Maybe we can find something different then tea now, because I like it so much, and it'd be a shame to waste it in a protest.  ;) ;D


If you got a garden you can plant it just as a real colonist ;)

And as for your car you can ride a horse-cab, furthermore you'll help yourself and the ozono's layer as well :)

Sorry bookmistress4ever sometimes I like kidding...only a bit. Seriously we all are lucky people, in my little country the taxes chase everyone who work for their wage meanwhile the wealthy men sneak out for tons what they suck. >:(

Yeah, that way you can save all those Cat-Girl images you've been trying to hide... ;D


Hide?  ??? ::)

:D :D :D :D :D

I have all my images on a flashdrive at the moment.

I would have switched to CDs if the CD drives would have worked. ****ing spyware(it was in the computer when I got it, I had to call up AT&T to get my internet started, since the CD wasn't reading).

Looks like I don't get to go out of town for my birthday, after all.

Teela had an episode yesterday that caused us concern.
She just got back from the doctor, and he's arranging a test for epilepsy on my birthday.
Hopefully, it was a fluke one-time thing.

Melissa's in tears, and is taking it hard.
Me....I want to see what comes up, before I start really hurting.

Teela is in my thoughts and prayers.  You and Melissa as well.

:o  whoa... so they all quit together. How shocking was that? what is their motivation for this conspiracy and mutiny?  how many people quit?

As I understand it there are varying levels of epilepsy and some that you can grow out of, but in this day and age it's all completely treatable with drugs.My friend's son has just completed university, he's a bright as a button, loads of mates with a very active social life, the only thing he can't do is drive, not the end of the world. 

Wow that's pretty dramatic Belle du Jour!  Any idea why they all quit?

Hope things turn out for you Hawk, my thoughts are with your family.

Congratulations on the new (for you) computer Step-chan.

Public service announcement for all you married folks out there.  Don't argue with your spouse in the car while driving.  Today I got a failure to yield ticket because me and my beloved were having words and apparently a guy had to "use his break substantially" because I turned in front of him.  $100 that I do not have.  aaaarrrggghhh...  I've been crying about it all day.  I think this car may have a curse on it.  It cost 3 times the normal amount to get the license plates transferred over ($120) and I even used old plates that I had.  The mechanic charged us $350 for the CV boot/axel, and now this ticket.  I'm thinking of getting a priest to come give the car an exorcism or maybe a witch to come bless it.  ??? :-\\ ;D

Sigs nephew has seizures and is doing post grad work, is absolutely brilliant.  It is foolish to say don't worry, but...try not to, too much.

Today is the 4th and it looks like a good part of it will be rained out.  :(

Why'd they quit?

Why'd they quit?


I don't know ...they didn't talk to me about it.  but it was a rotten thing to do.

Oh boy, oh boy, I'm angry.

People think it's funny to take the piss out of me just because I have more problems than them, then they think it's funny to patronize and belittle me whenever I have to remind them that yes, I have a much larger set of problems on my plate than those who are capable of doing stuff for themselves.

Everyone thinks I'm so incapable of change and then those same people who I thought were my friends, turn their back on me and spit in the food I make for them. It sickens me how two people cannot walk down a street they've never walked down by themselves, and get taunted and yelled and spat at just for being different. And then to be treated with as much disrespect as so-called "adults" can throw at them.. just.. if I weren't so lazy, I'd get up and I'd do something to them that they wouldn't forget.

I know it's hard, but try not to listen to the jerks in your life.  They're ignorant to try to judge what your life should be, or what they think you're doing wrong.  No one knows yourself better than you. *hugs*

what a bummer Bobo.  sad truth is, people will dissappoint us, even those we love and trust. hang in there and hopefully things will improve and people will be decent to you.

I guess if I could just avoid human beings for say... four days... then everything would be fine.

In our lives people will treat you in different ways but you got to know how to react to it.

I don't know ...they didn't talk to me about it.  but it was a rotten thing to do.



So where does that leave you?

So where does that leave you?


with new people to work with in August.
its rediculuous.

with new people to work with in August.
its rediculuous.


Will YOU have to train the new people?....and will your work load increase until those newbies are employed and trained?

with new people to work with in August.
its ridiculous.
since they voluntarily quit, they shouldn't be eligible for unemployment insurance

I guess if I could just avoid human beings for say... four days... then everything would be fine.


Agreed.
Surround yourself not with "human beings", but "people".
People are better because they actually have an iota of understanding.

You are amongst friends here, Bobo.

with new people to work with in August.
its rediculuous.


with the same amount of pay?

since they voluntarily quit, they shouldn't be eligible for unemployment insurance

they wont.  i honesty didnt think anything was THAT bad.
basically, i found that, whilst in my office they were all teaming up and looking online for work. no wonder nothing gets done.
so annoyed.
but i hate them and good riddance.

There has got to be more to this story.  For a bunch of people to quit en masse is extremely unusual.

Our "short" trip:  On Tuesday, we drove down to Conn to visit my sister. That evening, we out to see fireworks. The town where my sister lives and the next town over, scheduled their fireworks at the same time and close in location. (The two towns are separated by a river.) It was really cool. It was sort of like going to a tennis match with turning our head this way and then that way to see the fireworks. It was VERY cool.

The next day, my poor nephew was so nervous that he could hardly eat anything because of an appointment he had at about 3-3:30. When he finally got there, they were running late so he FINALLY got in about 2-3 hours later and when he was done, he came home with the most coveted of prizes-his driver's license. 

Because of the DMV running so late, we were late in getting to my other sister's party. But, at least there was still food (which we really didn't have any doubt because when my sister puts on a spread, she really puts on a spread and there is usually enough food left over for everyone to bring something home-which we did). After we ate, we all walked to beach (about 2 blocks from my sister's house) to watch more fireworks. After the town's fireworks were over, people started shooting off their personal ones just when the rain started-and I mean RAIN. (Talk about perfect timing). So we all walked back to my sister's house in the rain. The rain had stopped by the time we got to the house so everyone started to shoot off what my brother-in-law had in the way of fireworks. My sister's yard is only a postage stamp size and some of those things they were shooting off were kind of scary. I told my sister that they may burn down her house and her response was, "Oh well."  :o :o :o  If it was my house, I wouldn't allow them to be shooting those things off so close. But, not only were they shooting them off, so were most of their neighbors. It is like everyone in town had their own arsenal off fireworks and didn't care who was there. My other sister (the one we stayed with) told me that usually everyone on the beach shoots them off and you have to watch out. These people are crazy pyromaniacs.

I was hoping to stay another day but Carlos wanted to come home. So, we left yesterday (after eating a bunch of leftovers from my sister's party.  :D ;D ;D ). I did have a GREAT visit with my sister-which I always do. And we talked, and talked and talked. I called her when we got home to let her know we got home ok and then had to talk for another hour or so. lol.

Are you still part of the company you're with?

This is too good to not tell. :D

I was waiting for the bus today and some guy came up and waited for the bus.

He started talking to me. It started out about how the justice system is a mess here in the U.S.

He ended up claiming that he owned McDonald's and MacIntosh and was rich. Of course, this guy was obviously lying. Because if he were rich, he wouldn't have a need to take the bus.

:D

Well, today I received one of my birthday presents early.

We found a small Mini Pinscher mixed that no one got to.
We went straight to Chico, to Petco, and he was there.
I looked at 3 dogs, and he was the only one who responded to me at all.

He's 8 months old, black and dark tan, and is quite playful.
The only thing is the name he was listed with- "Roscoe".
That is most definitely NOT his name.
Therefore, I am training him under his new name, then name I feel more suits him- "Nero".

That's great news.  I love Mini Pins.  They are adorable.

Okay... today, for the first time in 8 years, I went...

BOWLING!! :D

Yes, my family and I decided to go bowling, since it had been a while since I'd last done some. We went to a bowling alley and played two games. I was a wee bit rusty at first, having unintentionally sent the ball into the gutter on my first two rolls. But then I remembered to do a follow-through when approaching the bowling lane, and I got progressively better. I also used a lighter-weight ball beginning on the 5th frame in the first game...and I finished with a 99. In my second game, I managed to bowl 103, which is the second time I ever reached the triple digits. My dad hurt his finger during the second game and didn't do so well. But we all had fun. :)

Pictures! :D

I bought a Wii bundle.  You can guess what we did and are still doing.  Rice is playing "Link's Crossbow Training" with the crossbow attachment.  It's pretty cool, and I can't wait to get my hands on the Wii Fit, because seriously?  I'm getting burned out on Richard Simmons tapes. ;D

YAY bowling! I'm glad you had fun! :)

YAY bowling! I'm glad you had fun! :)

Thanks Erin!

My mom used to be really good at bowling...until she injured her wrist in a roller skating accident in 1989 (and permanently dislocated a bone). However, she still seems to be doing pretty well; in fact, she won the second game we played today, with a score of 136. However, she didn't make any strikes.

hey...all that matters is that you had a good time! I love to bowl...I'm not that great at it..but we always have a good time when we go. Vaughn had a bowling party this year for his birthday and he had a great time....infact, all of the kids did. :)

Today is my sisters 40th birthday and we had a barbecue.  She is not very happy about turning 40 so me, being the sweet and caring little sister I am bought her a card that said:

"A little birdie told me you were turning 40.  Or maybe it was the angel of death, I don't know it had wings anyway"

Yeah, I'm mean like that. ;D

Of course! :) Once I get in there I start enjoying it again...even after an 8 year hiatus.

I'm glad Vaughn and his friends had a good time at his party too. :) O0 Bowling is fun, regardless of the occasion.

And speaking of birthdays, mine is next Friday and I still haven't come up with any ideas on what to do for the day, but I have thought about maybe doing some more bowling (as a tentative option). I definitely want to go out for dinner, though. :)

And as far as I can remember, I've always had a wonderful time on my birthday. :)

Today is my sisters 40th birthday and we had a barbecue.  She is not very happy about turning 40 so me, being the sweet and caring little sister I am bought her a card that said:

"A little birdie told me you were turning 40.  Or maybe it was the angel of death, I don't know it had wings anyway"

Karma for making me laugh. ;)

Me too. It's my turn in a couple of weeks and it bothers me none. I was planning to loose a little weight but as I also plan to start eating cake around the 12th and carry on until the 21st I figure I'll assess the damage afterwards.  ;D

Spent some of yesterday tidying the hallway. We got a new unit to store the shoe mountain that lives there. You can now see carpet and it's all neat and tidy, couldn't bring myself to get rid of any shoes though. Today it's pouring with rain so I plan to tackle the towel cupboard  :o

I hear ya!
Mine's in 9 or so days.
Unfortunately, my original plans had to be postponed, so I have no idea what to do.

Today we will take a ride up the coast.  The weather isn't supposed to be the best, but I don't care, the coast is the coast  :)

You plan on going bowling again?

Lulu is great value....just ask Phil Eno (he's met her)... :)

found out that, after a relationship that lasted since 1981 or so, my "stepfather" and my mom are getting married.  talk about procrastination!
it's really exciting. can't wait for it!  they are doing it at my family reunion next month.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!  That sounds like something I'd give one of my family members. ;D

We're taking the boy to the zoo today.  I hope it's better than the San Francisco Zoo. :-\\

I'm back!

My mum and my mother-in-law went home on Wednesday.  We were fairly busy while they were here visiting various tourist attractions locally and slightly further afield including a day in Boston and two days in New York.  We could have packed more in but my mum wasn't well.  Not entirely sure what it was; she was just very confused and not functioning well at all.  My dad is taking her to the doctors tomorrow.

The children have been off school since mid-June and driving me crazy the past few days.  A combination of not enough sleep and too much hanging around the house I think.

We bought them a wii console with some games the other week and my daughter is so competitive with it.  She won't switch it off for a meal or whatever till she's completed a level.  And that sometimes takes her a couple of hours!  I've already enforced two wii free days!

wow..that really sucks. Is he allowed to just up and get rid of your son, beings that he already hired him and stuff? That seems like it would be against the law to do that.

I know I've been trying to think of any legal action we could take. His granddaughter is a friend of my daughter,and she says he does that kinda stuff all the time,she's worked there on and off,but only if they're busy,her mother got so fed up that she quit(and the owner is her father)My husband and I think that the woman that quit may of wanted the 4th of July weekend off and he told her no,so after Saturday she decided she wanted her job back,it just seems strange.

that's really a shame. :(

I'm feeling ok right now.  Joel has a Birthday on July 8.  I'm going to talk to my mom about ear stuff before I see the doctor on the 15th.  I'd like to do the metal bone surgery and see what happens before doing a coclear implant.  The brain can react any way it wants and and It's possible I could loose what I have.  I know of a lot of wonderful stories with coclear implants I'm just a little nervious about the unknown here.  It looks like I just have tests sceduled and more tests to scedule so no operations yet.

I love it whenever one of my sisters hit a milestone birthday. I ALWAYS rub it in that I am STILL younger than they are. This is paybacks for all those years growing up when they always rubbed it in that they were older than I was.


In Aug. I have a sister who will be hitting the BIG 5-0 http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/19.gif
