Okay, WTF is a "forum moderator"? When I look at who's browsing, I see people with their names bolded. They inevitably seem to be the darkroom people. What is the significance of this?

notwithstanding the numerous affirmative defenses which i have yet to allege, the said announcement has now been made, which renders all allegations moot and minimizes your alleged damages to nothing but pure nuisance value which you have yet to establish in any event. i ask that you immediately withdraw all claims in the spirit of compromise, else i shall have no other recourse but to seek an immediate status conference with the court and ask for sanctions for the reprehensible waste of the court's valuable time.

defense rests again.

Mine are, too. But at the rate my vision is getting worse, it's never going to stop. So my Dr. said I might as well get it now, because it's levelled off as much as it's ever going to.

And it's a lifetime guarantee, so if I have to get it re-done, it's free.

Okay, I am going to vent about my roommate for a minute. Don't feel obligated to read this, but I need to let off some steam.

So through the miracle of scheduling, she managed to be finished with finals a full week before me. Her last final was last Friday morning; mine isn't until this Thursday evening. Her out-of-town boyfriend (still an undergrad) is also finished with finals.

Law school finals are not easy. I need time to study. In peace.

Almost every weekend she goes to see him and I get the house to myself. But this weekend, for some reason known only to her and Satan himself, she invites him to come up HERE. To her credit, she asks me if it will be okay if he could stay last Friday night (I had a final at 9am on Saturday morning). I say, "Not really. I have to get up early and take the final." So she promises that they will stay out of the house (watching a movie or something) and then come home and go right to bed. So against my better judgment, I acquiesce.

Friday morning he's here bright and early (I had expected him to arrive in the evening), hanging around the house all day, filling up the house with his fried food smells, leaving his funky cowboy boots in the living room, turning up music, and being a general nuisance and distraction while I'm trying to study for my Saturday final. Finally they leave to go have dinner with friends.

I'm in bed at midnight when the come in - and they've brought the friends BACK WITH THEM. They proceed to sit in the living room and drink for an hour, and then retreat to have loud sex, then take showers, then raid the fridge - they were up until a God-awful hour, and I heard it ALL.

I get up Saturday in terrible mood and take my final. I return home four hours later to find him still here. And he spends the night Saturday night. And Sunday night. Finally yesterday I asked her when he was planning on leaving. (Silly me, I thought when she asked if he could stay Friday night, that meant Friday night.) Finally he left last night, late.

WHY IN THE HELL SHE COULDN'T GO VISIT HIM, WHEN THEY HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DO, I CANNOT UNDERSTAND. THEY LAID AROUND BEING OBNOXIOUS AND HAVING LOUD SEX ALL FREAKING WEEKEND.

So today I go to take another final - this time a 5-hour one. I come home exhausted only to find that she has taken all my laundry, still damp, out of the washer and dryer (which are mine) and piled it all on the floor of my room. Additionally, she has taken about $1,000 worth of photographs from my portfolio that were sitting on a bookshelf in a plastic bag and thrown them on my bed (apparently they were an eyesore to her). Also, a big box of tiles with Polaroid emulsion transfers on them, which were stored neatly under the bookshelf (out of sight!) are now on my bed, too.

And the coup de gras, she has hung photographs of her and her fiance ALL OVER THE WALLS OF THE LIVING AND DINING ROOMS. From where I'm sitting I can count eleven of them. And there are more. I'm sorry, but these are common areas and I don't want to look at them making out while I'm eating.

For the rest of my life, I vow to never have a roommate again.

[Large Marge]

Gatsby, Oh man! I feel for you! I've had sooo many roommates in my college years. We were dropped with random people. I lived in about 5 different apartments with over 35 different roommates because of semester changes at 5 roommates per semester. I thought I would kill the majority of them. I ended up becoming an RA my last year.

Hopefully you can get through the next few days with a little peace and make it through the next semester. Maybe the opportunity to talk to her about some things without hard feelings arising will come around.

There is hope. I'm IM'ing right now with my roommie from college 6 years ago. She and I are still great friends. :)

Good luck!

Rightly so. Jesus Q. Murphy! It's one thing to have to put up with the jumping, rumping and thumping, but to have yer arse hangin' in the breeze is an indignity not to be borne!

A similar incident spurred me to develop my expert knowledge of baby oil and its effectiveness as a pest control agent when put in a roommate's hair conditioner. Miost great scientific discoveries are made by accident, but that one sure as hell wasn't!

There is a saying "Don't judge a book by the cover".

Let me tell you, that is the perfect way to judge a book's contents, and in addition, if you fail to check the cover of a book, you will be asked to produce your Safety Manual at a meeting and yet will provide the auditor with a copy of Reader's Wives Bums Special.

Well, being that zombies have a mind of their own (that's probably an oxymoron), their test subject escapes, causing a commotion among the scientists. One of them starts to run with the toxic drink, running all the way to the highway, where – you guessed it – Woody and Bee accidentally run him over while driving Brother Kui's car. The two stop, step out of the car, and attempt to resuscitate the victim. "Maybe he needs a drink…" How convenient, he's brought his own soda! They proceed to force the liquid into the victim’s mouth. When he still doesn't come to, they decide he's dead, and stuff him in the trunk.

the people who make dance revolution have a new game for the home, karoke revolution. You score points by how in tune you are.

I want to move here.

Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.
Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines.

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you.

Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.

Melodies bring memories
That linger in my heart
Make me think of Georgia
Why did we ever part?

Some sweet day when blossoms fall
And all the world's a song
I'll go back to Georgia
'Cause that's where I belong

Everyone is really pissy tonight.

[Gatsby]

Large Marge, you have a PM!

[Large Marge]

I LOVED "The Life of David Gale."

I don't care what the critics say.

The ending surprised me, and that's hard to do.

[melissa]

Two men just rode by my house, on horseback. I live in the city. I felt like I was halucinating. That was so weird.

Ok, I've posted this three times and no one has made a single comment, so either they haven't noticed yet, or they don't find it amusing.

I find both options difficult to believe.

[melissa]

I've noticed it and I find it amusing. I just don't have anything witty to say about it.

[Large Marge]

I see.

Perhaps that was the case with everyone.

If so, my apologies for multiple photo postings.

[melissa]

It is a good one to see more than once.:)

I wonder if the Queen has seen that photo?





And I had horses go by my house. 2 guys rode by like it wasn't anything!!!! WTF?

[Large Marge]

Were they in uniform?

No! Just two older black men wearing well-worn cowboy style hats, and ranch rain gear, with saddes and extra blankets on their horses. I grew up on a ranch and they looked like they had just ridden over the hill to visit the neighbor's ranch on a dreary day. They totally didn't look like city slickers at all.

Are they making a movie near your house? What city do you live in, anyway?

[melissa]

I haven't heard anything about a movie being filmed here. I live in a really sweet neighborhood in Portland Oregon.

[Large Marge]

Well, that is odd.

I love Portland. My sister lives in Vancouver, Wash., and when I visit her i stay at a little b&b outside of Portland. Last time I was there, we visited this little dive bar. What was it called ....

um ....

Can't remember.

If you live near the water (Willamette?) there could be horse trails there, and maybe they went off the trail to explore.

[melissa]

As far as I know there aren't any horse trails anywhere near here. And they looked so working-country, not city at all, that's the weirdest part of it.

[Aphrodite]

When I was a teen, we had a horse ranch, with a Native American village on it. (I know, I had an unusual childhood.)

Occasionally someone would come and get me on horseback when school let out. It was fun. Then we'd ride through town and take the trails back home.

[melissa]

That sounds lovely. For my 11th birthday, my aunt got me a horse. The next summer there was a forest fire in the valley where we lived and they put in a bunch of fire trails to stop the spread of the fire. That created a bunch of new trails for me to ride on for the next few years.

[topcat]

i am a little banged up, but i heard some killer live jazz after work tonight

[Large Marge]

Where and who?

[topcat]

marion meadows christmas show at toads place in new haven. towards the end of the show he had about 12 people playing on stage. it was un believeable.

[Large Marge]

I love jazz.

I got to see TS Monk play under a tent in Steamboat Springs for a crowd of about 75.

It was awesome.

I haven't found a good jazz club here yet, but I'm sure there must be one.

[Frieda]

i just put my new thinkgeek tshirt in the washing machine, i hope the print survives!!

[Aphrodite]

I'm no expert, but aren't you supposed to turn them inside out when you wash them and dry them in a dryer? That was what I was told at one of those t-shirt booths. I hope you did that, or can still do it before it hits the dryer.

[topcat]

i wish i was smart, so i could be a puppateer.i also wish that i could spell puppateer

[topcat]

i also wish i had a little puppy to follow me around. i also wish i knew if there is an i wish thread.

Nobel physicist, 82, to wed student, 28 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4103939.stm)

An 82-year-old Chinese Nobel physicist plans to marry a 28-year-old graduate student, whom he has described as his "last gift" from God.
Chen Ning Yang, who returned to China last year following the death of his first wife, plans to marry next month.

No long engagement - that's probably a good idea.

Those geriatic nerds get all the chicks! :mad:

I'm a geriatric nerd...where are my chicks?! Maybe i just need to become more geriatric.

Hawaii is nearly out of Christmas trees, with only about 45 left. Despite what the story below says, those 4 foot trees sold for about $160 EACH.

Tree vendor flying in a few


By Lynda Arakawa
Honolulu Advertiser Staff Writer

Attention, Christmas tree shoppers: You may have another chance at getting a real tree this year.

Christmas tree vendor Mele Turner is bringing in about 70 to 100 more trees by air and will sell them Saturday morning at his tree lot in Market City Shopping Center.

The Douglas and Noble firs will be 4 to 6 feet.

The Douglas firs will probably cost around $85 to $95, to make up for the airfreight costs, Turner said. The Nobles will cost a bit more.

"I'm trying to accommodate people," Turner said yesterday. "My phone is ringing off the hook. ... There are so many people that just gotta have a tree. And, within reason, they're going to pay. They know that the airfreight — it costs more than the tree."

Christmas trees have suddenly become a rare commodity because at least some vendors, stung by last year's glut of trees, ordered fewer trees this season. Many stores and Christmas tree lots on O'ahu sold out last weekend and have turned away hundreds of disappointed potential customers.

Matson Navigation Co. and Horizon Lines both said they shipped fewer trees this year. Matson's final tree shipment was Dec. 5; Horizon's last shipment was last week.

Turner said that when he airfreighted additional Christmas trees about 10 years ago, people lined up and took numbers. The trees "were gone in an hour," he said.

He said that the sales on Saturday will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis and that he is working on a system to keep the process orderly. "I don't want people fighting over trees," he said.

[Frieda]

cool

the street value of a christmas tree is higher than of cocaine!

[Clytie]

bowled last night and then ate at the most ghett0 Dennys ever...
we sat in the back with a tv that was hooked up to a vcr...and our waiter JD spilled about 5 differnt things on us... Sprite, milkshake, some fries, water... it was wowow...so once he finally left... we pressed play and it was a training video. we all know how to wait tables using the proper waitstaff ediquette

[Frieda]

ewwwww bah foot!

[Spicy Jack]

Okay, so I need to work today and get everything done and organized before the new year. I have a crap load to do. Ugh.

I will leave you guys with my friend the De-Oh-double-Gee. If you have any questions about anything, he will be more than happy to help. I trust his insight in my absence.

Enjoy!

My baby sister was in a car accident last night and it scared the crap out of me. All is well, but wow what a reality check.

It really makes the small things seem. . just that. . small.

[Gatsby]

Oooh, glad everything's okay. If my baby sister was in a wreck, I would totally freak out.

[Gatsby]

Is that Daisy Duke in your new avvie, DMD?

[drivinmissdaisy]

Oooh, glad everything's okay.

Thank you.

Is that Daisy Duke in your new avvie, DMD?

I thought it was cute, thanks for noticing.:)

[Gatsby]

I used to watch that show when I was a kid.

The last time I went to Mardi Gras I got (earned) some Dukes of Hazzard beads with little orange cars on them.

http://images.ibsys.com/sh/images/Screengrabs/dukesofhazzard2.jpg

[drivinmissdaisy]

I liked the Dukes of Hazard, and I like Marilyn.

Wow, nice beads, and trust me as a Mardi Gras vet I know that that those are not easy beads to get.

[noxxville]

You know when you're at a resturant (i can't spell that word) and they bring your food out and warn you, "Watch out! Be careful! The plate is REALLY hot!."? Why aren't they concerned with you eating the food on that blazing hot plate? I mean the heat has to transfer, or at least maintain temperature.......if I burn my mouth, do I have a case?

[Gatsby]

So, what you guys doing tonight? I see you lurking.

I made polaroid transfers tonight to give out as Christmas gifts.

The look like this (this is not one of mine):

I also did some emulsion transfers:

[Gatsby]

Those posts above are not my work.

Mine were of Taos.

[Large Marge]

Those are cool!

How does it work? Does a chemical release it from the photo to the paper?

[Gatsby]

Naw, I wish it were that simple! Here's a quickie lesson:

1. Buy some slide film (color reversal film)
2. Take pics, get film developed
3. Buy one of these:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/items/269318.jpg

It's a mini-enlarger, and you don't need a darkroom to use it.

4. Buy some Polaroid 669 film
5. Expose slide picture onto the Polaroid film.
6. Rip the Polaroid film apart before it develops and press it down on a sheet of wet cold-press watercolor paper (for image transfers) OR
7. Let the Polaroid develop and dry, and then float the photo in hot water, separating the gel image from the paper backing and then arrange the transparent gel image on a new sheet of paper or tile or wood or whatever you've got laying around (for emulsion transfers)

[Large Marge]

Yikes!

I think I'll buy cards instead and save myself a couple hundred dollars or so.

But thanks!

[Zaftig]

BEWARE. . . ALL READERS. . LONG POST OF BABBLING . .. YOU MAY SKIP TO THE LAST PARAGRAPH AND CONTINUE FROM THERE.



I'm pretty good. I'm recovering from my day as taxi driver yesterday. My friend asked for a ride to the bar where i work because he forgot his coat there on Sunday, along with his keys and license. . .which turned into taking him to the doctor, his cute daughter out to lunch, then taking him to the hospital then in between picking my hubbie up from work. . taking his daughter clothes shopping and to walmart.

It was a heart wrenching day to be honest. This guys a biker, harley dude in his early 50's and he has emphasema(sp?) and his daughter is 10. Poor thing has not a single friend because they all think she's too fat. Took the little shrimp clothes shopping and she fits into women's 14's and they are all super long. She lives with her dad cause her mom, who she adores, doesn't want her anymore. She's so well mannered and sweet. We're going to have a slumber party when she gets back from visiting her mom's and we're going to bombard Sim and paint his nails! :D She loves him. At first when she met him last night she was all bashful but it didn't take too long for him to charm her. We were going to keep her for the night if her dad was staying at the hospital but he got to go home, All was well.

So anyways. . . .that was my LOOOOOONG day yesterday but completely worth it. Besides the heat breaking in our truck and it being -18 it was pretty good. Sim hot wired the heating wires so now the heat never turns off which is totally ok with me!

How was your day? What are you up to today? What are you doing for the holiday?

[melissa]

Oh my god! Zaftig what an adventure! It sounds like that girl needs some good people in her life, I'm glad that she met you.


I'm good. Just a regular day at work...

I'll be going down to my aunt's ranch on Friday and returning on Sunday. I think it'll be a quiet weekend but I am looking forward to it.

[Zaftig]

That's what we intend on doing, having a nice, long, quiet weekend. You enjoy it! Bring a book and RELAX!

[Avalon]

You're such a good girl and such a great friend Zaf; good for you and even better for your friends :)

[Zaftig]

No, I'm far from, but thank you. I figure, this time last year, Sim and I had no money and no car or anything and people did favors for us ALL the time. . . it's just our time to pay it forward.
