Surbhi, I like having you here! I'm glad you came back.

How are your classes and tests?

[Hermione]

I have sooo many papers due in the next three weeks.. not to mention that darn political philosophy midterm next week.

Tests---> blah.. I used to love studying.. now I can't stand it

Classes--> boring and mundane.

I've decided to transfer. This school is way too religious for me.

I'm happier now too:)

Why is it every action movie that comes out has at least one character named Jack?

[Zaftig]

Last night Sim brought me home a very beautiful bouquet of flowers! Of course the cat knocked over the vase trying to eat them and I had to clean it all up but they are still beautiful.

I'm sad that Coffee isn't around. . . come back quickly.

[Hermione]

I wish someone would bring me flowers

Good luck! Heal! Let us know how it goes.

[Zaftig]

GRRR!! I thought I was going to have it all taken care of tonight and it turns out that I have to go see another doctor! RRRRRAAAAAAA!

Well, at least it prolongs getting my scalp sliced open. :D

I was too lazy, or could not find your previous post. What exactly are you getting cut out of your head?

[Zaftig]

I don't think I posted it anywhere but I've told a few people about it so I'll just cut and paste cause I'm in a lazy mood.

I've had this little lump, bout the size of a pea, kinda hard like a bee bee in between my skull and scalp just about all my life. It's never bothered me. Couple months ago I hit it on the truck door and the pain has been slowly increasing. Now it shoots to my eyes. The doc either thinks it was dislodged and is now pushing on a nerve and on the other hand wants to test it to make sure it's nothing cancerous. I'm sure it's not. So in their words they are going to "shave a patch of hair, freeze the scalp, slice it open and pop it out!" Sound exciting doesn't it?

[masterofNone]

i had something like this. sort of like an m&m under the skin of my head. it was a quick and painless procedure and left no scar... which, if you know what i look like, was important. good luck.

[Zaftig]

thanks. . .I just wish they actually did it tonight but now i have to go see another doctor about it when it really shouldn't have been a big deal.

Did they tell you what it was? Like a cist or a fibroid?

Well, it doesn't sound like my idea of excitement, but have fun:( I have gone through a few little mini biopsies, and they turned out o.k. Let us know the results. Hugs to you.

i don't remember. maybe a sebaceous cyst. nothing to worry about. if it's uniform in shape it's usually nuthin'. anything to worry about would be spidery and irregular.

[lapietra]

I woke up with a sore throat.

I think I may have snored. :eek:

[daverbee]

Remember a few months ago my friend Dana sent me an Alf puppet as part of an experiment to see what cats do when confronted with the puppet?
Well, Janet finally decided he was a threat and tried to kill it This after ignoring it for the last four months.
When she figured out he wasn't gonna die she snuggled with him for a while and is now sleeping beside him.
Not sure what this proves as far as cats and Alf but at least she reacted. Now we'll try him out on my mother's cat Frankie.

[Zaftig]

Dav that's too funny! Keep us informed on what happens with Frankie! Topaz is our cat but we call her Miss Spazzy cause she's a freak. Anyhow, last week I bought a battery powered, glow pumpkin. As soon as I showed it to Sim he got an evil look in his eyes and I knew Topaz was in for it. So he put the batteries in, turned off the majority of lights, hid the pumpkin, which is pink and about two times the size of Topaz's head and crawled on the floor around the corner from where Topaz was sitting. He quickly turned the pumpkin on as it was in front of her face and she jumped like two feet in the air. Evil, but hilarious. Now it rests by where she likes to sit and she head butts it all the time. Go figure.

HAHAHA. Cats are fun to mess with. My cat Fred and I play the chase game. He stalks me and I stalk him. I have scared him a few times, but usually he gets the best of me. Thank God he is only weighs 7 pounds. I would hate to be stalked by a 100 pound cat.

Chuckie, you are a wonderful person and he is a fool to lose you like that. If he's been hurting you, you're better off without him and I hope you find your ideal guy some time soon!

Bless you, honey.

I know how it feels to be "the bad guy". They think it doesn't hurt and they want to blame you, but sometimes I think it hurts more to break than to be broken with. Because not only are you ending something that started with great hope and joy, but you take on the burden of blame as well. At times it seems that no one understands and it makes it that much harder to go on.

FWIW, you have my support and my empathy. Be gentle with yourself today.

After breaking up with someone for my own hurtful reasons I'd be worried about myself if I didn't cry. uckie, it's a sign that your human! It's ok. Sure, you feel like shit but that will change and this may sound like a cliche but this is another one of those life lessons that are tough to learn but will chisel you into a better person. Good luck with everything. Looks like you've got a bunch of people here that know who you are and like you for it. ;)

so i requested an absentee balot like WEEKS and WEEKS ago and made sure they would send it to my apt. well, they sent it friday to my parents, which is kinda far from here. :rolleyes: stupidstupidstupid. so i figured i would have to drive a couple hours after work to wait in line and vote, pfft..... well, my dad just called and said he cancelled his work plans and is driving over to give me my ballot and have lunch with me :) awwww. dad is the best.

[katester]

i have to go find someplace to vote- but i'm too busy with the fact that its actually colder than 75 degrees outside- i just want to go run around a lake in the cold and see how red my nose will get. where am i supposed to vote around here? my nose will turn red! i've never voted in this town before. my cheeks might turn red too. i actually have to drive somewhere...

[Coffee]

katester, you have to find "your poling place" to vote...you can't just vote 'somewhere". Check your voter pamphlet for your polling place.

My sister just adopted a Scottie. He had been owned by one of the Atlanta Braves (They wouldn't tell her which one).
Seems when the dog developed a bit of mange on his feet this baseball player and his wife decided he wasn't presentable and brought him down to the adoption shelter.
She thinks they may have hit him some as he cringes and growls if you hold your hand over him a certain way.
He's in a good home now, I can tell you and will be well loved!

mine has a heart murmur and a cardiologist and all that. she doesn't act like a scottie dog though. she is crazy and *LOVES* people. Most scotties are aloof and only like one person. Not my baby.

[Spicy Jack]

so i am listening to the Kerry speech via the computer..and there is some guy clapping close to the mic that has NO RHYTHM!

[daverbee]

My sister said the only problem she's had with him so far was when he met her parrot. But since being told "no" he's left the bird alone and is adopting to life in a new home.
Vickie and I will be stopping in Atlanta on the way up to WNC next year to meet our new addition. Too bad we can't take Fred with us. I'd love to see the two of them together.

You know... crying along with someone is just the best, most comforting thing you can do. Knowing that someone feels the same level of loss, or can at least relate, really helps in times like that.

She just called me back to say almost exactly the same thing. We cried a little more and now I think she is okay for the night.

[Spicy Jack]

so tonight we went to a nice dinner place (table clothes, menu in french, bill in the triple digits for 2) anyhow...for an appetizer we order the ahi in a chilled avacado soup with smoked gouda. the plate arrives and it looks like split pea soup with a large pile of chopped tomatos and two bread balls. so we both taste it. it is delicious, but we look at each other and are wondering where the tuna is and the gouda :( we think the tuna may be baked into the mysterious bread ball thingies. we poke it a bit, still mystified my friend proceeds to ask the waiter where the tuna is. He points to "the tomatos" and says "Well, they are right here sir" It took a few seconds to register, but what we thought was tomatos was the tuna. I was about to die...then I started chuckling, which snowballed into laughing with tears streaming down my face. Needless to say, we felt like total morons and wanted to run.

That is not all.

Then we are eating the "bread ball thingys" and again, we both look at each other and agree it tastes like there is bacon in them. We both do not eat pork, so we leave it alone and the waiter comes by and we ask if there is bacon in the bread thingys. He tells us no, but there is gouda in there. *click* Smoked gouda! He tells us that is what we must have thought tasted like bacon. Good Lord we are stupid and far beyond embaressed, to the point that it no longer matters.

Then I thought my turnips tasted like potatos and was sure it was all a conspiracy and they wanted to make us look dumb.

:o :(

anyways...that is my horrible embaressing story. i shall hand my head in shame now.

Email from a friend:

Hi, had to put Jessie down today. Her back legs went
completely, me and Brad were in a mess. She had sh... all
over her because she couldnt get up during the night. She
kept on barking last night , I think she was trying to tell me,
it's time. I gave her a bath in peppermint oil and she really
liked it. She just was curled up in the laundry trough and I
blow dried her. Meanwhile Brad was at grandparents studying
for his big exams on Mon. He's devastated, we were both a blubbering mess. The young doctor took his time, explained everything and was ab fab. He said that you are doing the right thing and that she's basically had it. Poor Brad was a blubbering mess sitting on the chair, while I was stroking Jessie's head and holding her paw. Liz, I swear she knew what was going on. She looked at me with sad eyes and the vet said, she's gone. I'm so upset and it's only a dog. But I had her 17 years.

[Zaftig]

That's heartbreaking.

liked it. She just was curled up in the laundry trough and I
blow dried her. Meanwhile Brad was at grandparents studying
for his big exams on Mon. He's devastated, we were both a blubbering mess. The young doctor took his time, explained everything and was ab fab. He said that you are doing the right thing and that she's basically had it. Poor Brad was a blubbering mess sitting on the chair, while I was stroking Jessie's head and holding her paw. Liz, I swear she knew what was going on. She looked at me with sad eyes and the vet said, she's gone. I'm so upset and it's only a dog. But I had her 17 years.

I am so sad and sorry for your friend; I just went through this myself and then on Friday with a friend of mine.
I have never felt "it is only a dog,cat, pet". They share your home,your heart; they are family. My condolences to your friends.

[Spicy Jack]

the blue does flatter your skin tone though ;)

[Frieda]

lol :D my toes were a bit swollen on that pic yeah :D

doctor doesn't know why the bone doesn't grow, he says that it happens with some people, especially if they have other physical injuries that are still healing.. so 3 more weeks in a cast.. if no progress is seen after that they're going to bolt it all together :eek:

[chuckie egg]

[Spicy Jack]

Frieds...you can always just say forget it and and ask for a peg leg. Then you won't have to hassle anymore AND you could be one step closer to Pirate Queen. Plus you could probably get cool attachments and such.

[chuckie egg]

Haha Spicy!

Why am I thinking Frieda will go for this...

[Frieda]

We are soooo excited! The bed is worth more than our truck but we're still so excited!!! We're not getting it until the 24th because we have to wait for it to be shipped but we are soooo excited! I have a feeling I'll still be excited about it in 2 years too!!! I can't wait to go shopping for new bedding on Friday for it! :D :D :D Thanks for sharing in the excitement Red! It makes me even more anxious to get it!! :D

[melissa]

We slept on an old, badly made, cheap bed for the first ten years we were married. About five years ago, I said to hell with it and bought a new, good one, over protestations.

We have never been sorry. It's wonderful. Some rough days it's the one thing we look forward to. Red is right -- some days it's like, "Bed, bed, bed, bed...." :) You'll be glad you made the investment. Worth every penny we paid.

We have gone through so many bed sagas in the past 3 years. Just when I moved from CT I finally had an alright bed. Then I get here and we slept on a futon mattress on the floor and then getting off the floor 500 times a night to pee when I was pregnant became too much so sim's parents gave us a bed frame and really old box spring to put the futon mattress on. I was getting so sick of that so we got an air mattress. The ones that are tall. It was way comfortable, until the cat started poking it so I said "THAT'S IT! WE ARE GETTING A GOOD BED!" I can't wait!! You guys are giving us so much comfort in such a huge purchase. Just yesterday sim said to me, "I can't believe we spent that much!" But to buy a new bed is a huge investment now a days. We had to go for the king because sim is 6'6". We know it will be so worth it though! :D

[red]

wow! I just found my first grey hairs!. I have two sproutin' right by my ear. I hope they come in cool, ya know like Helouise.

[Hyakujo's Fox]

There's never been a better time to go. They have the internet there now.

[Frieda]

[Hyakujo's Fox]

[Frieda]

yes

[Hyakujo's Fox]

In that case it would an honour to escort you to burkina faso.

I wouldn't have to stay there would I?

I could, like, you know, "drop you off"?

[Frieda]

Just out of a very general curiosity, of course....

[chuckie egg]

[bealeblues]

the kick ass band playing baton rouge this month is ingram hill. they rock. seriously rock.

[dinzdale]

Inbred Hillbilly ??? :confused:

[bealeblues]

hey, nice retreaded joke there dinzdale.... :rolleyes:

[dinzdale]

I've got a million of 'em.

Now say something clever.

[bealeblues]

i was just making a general comment about a band. you were the one trying to be clever, unsuccessfully.....

since that's out of the way, how's your life, mate?

[dinzdale]

Waiting for the house to sell. 'bout it really. :(

You moved all your crap yet?

[bealeblues]

all the crap is moved and 90% is settled away. having a few withdrawals from not living in BR and hanging out with my idiot friends, but overall it's all good. probably coming to houston at the first of the year to make an IKEA run-- got a mind to throw out all my crap and start all over again.....

[lapietra]

*urp*

[chuckie egg]

'scuse you

[bealeblues]

bless you?

[lapietra]

Coffee on an empty stomach. Don't mind me. :)

[dinzdale]

How gauche.

[lapietra]

*urp*

there. I did it to the right now. happy?

[dinzdale]

To think of all the money we spent on your Swiss Finishing School....:rolleyes:

[lapietra]

Shoulda spent more. You could have gotten the bonus "learning how to walk in 6-inch heels" module, plus various and sundry wigs thrown in for good measure. ;)

(Anyway - that's what you get for choosing a Swiss finishing school called "Inge's Thai Massage and Finishing School Bath House".)

I had an appointment this morning at the eye doctor. They dilated my pupils so now I'm wearing shades at work and my depth perception is totally off. My pupils are huge!!

Great excuse. It would have worked if you didn't walk in here trailing herbal smoke... ;) :p

[Coffee]

hmmm...I wonder if those eye drops would be helpful when I'm telescoping...I'm thinking that enlarged pupils would increase the amount of dim detail percieved at the lens when viewing nebulas and galaxies. We usually have to wait 1/2 hour for our pupils to get as large as possible (5 - 7 mm max usually) for "dark adaption".

[masterofNone]

tell us more.

So I logged off of the board last night drooling for a pumpkin pie. I decided to cheat and use canned pumpkin instead of taking the time to steam and blender a real pumpkin.

I tore into it, made a nice crust and prebaked it just right.

I had all my ingredients lined up for the filling and mixed "everything" up right in time for the crust to come out hot from the oven ready for the filling, which, after mixing it, I noticed looked kinda dark...but not having tooo much experience making pumpking pie i poured it into the crust anyhow (I still aspire to making them like my recently departed grandma did...her pies were a huge part of what made thanksgiving the yummiest meal of the year)...anyhow I bake it up and it looks very dark...not at all right. But I made the whipped cream and ate some anyhow, it wasn't bad, but I was thinking to myself...I bet grandma used cream in her filling...DING DING DING...sudddenly I remember noticing a can of evaporated milk sitting unopened on the counter after cleaning up...Do'oh. Bangs head on countertop...excellent deduction sherlock...cuz you forgot to add the cream.

Oy vey...it's not uneatable though...so I'll finish at least half of it before wasting the rest into the trash.

"Major League" is on TV. I love that movie.
