EAR PAIN: Sweet oil and garlic oil work wonders for ear pain caused by infection. Simply warm and place a few drops of either into the ear. Results should be immediate.

Using Vodka, Triple Sec (orange flavored liqueur) and lime juice, this drink is strong and sweet. It is definitely a classic favorite.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion it is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed the hands acquire shakes the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone that sets my mind in motion.

Apparently it's Olive Oil (Not the Popeye kind).

If you try it though, please be careful not to make it TOO hot.  Just warm.  I think maybe warm a little like you would adding a hot oil treatment to your hair (warm a small tube in a glass of warm water...not sure exactly how you'd do that for olive oil, maybe a teaspoon held over a glass of hot water?  I don't know if that would work or not.)

Mr. Noone has allowed the karaoke words to be playing on a chromeke screen, behind him.
He will provide the music, but the words will also be accessible.

Very well.  Peter did get a little upset the last time we did the sing a long.  Step-can was never one for real lyrics.

I can understand that.  Henry Vii makes a wonderful little parody...I've used it myself a number of times.

I need a drink, too much stress, not enough fun makes Patty a dull girl.  :(

That would be bar manager, Hawk's department, I just fill drink orders, I don't come up with important decisions such as that.  ;D


I'm feeling all achey tonight and can't get comfortable to sleep, so I'm back up, wanting a fuzzy navel with a ibuprophin chaser.

(Music starts playing)

They see me mowin'
My front lawn
I know they're all thinking
I'm so White N' nerdy

Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Can't you see I'm white n' nerdy
Look at me I'm white n' nerdy!
I wanna roll with-
The gangsters
But so far they all think
I'm too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
I'm just too white n' nerdy
Really, really white n' nerdy

First in my class here at M.I.T.
Got skills, I'm a Champion of DND
MC Escher that's my favorite MC
Keep your 40
I'll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin to the contrary
You'll find they're quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Steven Hawkings in my library
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
I got people begging for my top 8 spaces
Yo I know Pi to a thousand places
Ain't got no grills but I still wear braces
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I'm a whiz at minesweeper I can play for days
Once you see my sweet moves you're gonna stay amazed,
my fingers movin' so fast I'll set the place ablaze
There's no killer app I haven't run
At Pascal, well, I'm number 1
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain't got a gat but I gotta soldering gun
Happy days is my favourite theme song
I can sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I'll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I'm fluent in Java Script as well as Klingon
Here's the part I sing on

They see me roll on, my Segway!
I know in my heart they think I'm
white n' nerdy!
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Can't you see I'm white n' nerdy
Look at me I'm white n' nerdy
I'd like to roll with-
The gangsters
Although it's apparent I'm too
White n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
I'm just too white n' nerdy
How'd I get so white n' nerdy?

I've been browsing, inspectin'
X-men comics you know I collect 'em
The pens in my pocket
I must protect 'em
my ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shopping online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL
I got a business doing websites
When my friends need some code who do they call?
I do HTML for them all
Even made a homepage for my dog!
Yo! Got myself a fanny pack
they were having a sale down at the GAP
Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
POP POP! Hope no one sees me gettin' freaky!

I'm nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour creme
I was in AV club and Glee club and even the chess team!
Only question I ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?
I spend every weekend
at the renaissance fair
I got my name on my under wear!

They see me strollin'
They laughin'
And rollin' their eyes 'cause
I'm so white n' nerdy
Just because I'm white n' nerdy
Just because I'm white n' nerdy
All because I'm white n' nerdy
Holy cow I'm white n' nerdy
I wanna bowl with-
the gangsters
but oh well it's obvious I'm
white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
Think I'm just too white n' nerdy
I'm just too white n' nerdy
Look at me I'm white n' nerdy!

I don't need any drinks tonight.

In fact, I think it would be dangerous for me to drink tonight.

Hope everything is okay with you......what is fraying your nerves?

Just life, ya know?

Sometimes you kinda wonder if the choices you made in life were the right ones, and you just gotta believe that they were and you are where you were meant to be.  Sometimes the heart wants otherwise though...it tends to be kinda stupid.  :(

Also just kinda freaked out about moving.  Once it's done, it'll be fine.  Just feels like it's constant turmoil until then.

I feel like that often.......  What if I'd gone this way, instead of that etc?  At the end of the day you can't help wondering but you know there's no point in doing so. You can't usually undo what has happened and you may as well make the best of what you have and work on future improvements.  Moving can be part of that journey. I personally love to move as I grow bored in one spot...

Hope all goes well..... :)

Another drink, por favour.

I'm definately moving in a month and a half, but with no real paperwork in place, we're not sure if we're renting-to-own, just renting (and for how long, as the relative who owns the home we're moving into, refuses to discuss purchase price or rental details.)  Argh!!!  Don't ask us to move there, nor dangle a carrot if you are just gonna yank it away at whim.

Sometimes it sucks not knowing the future.  Maybe I should consult a psychic.  :(
