[Frieda]

scream with joy people:


the bone tissue in my CRPS foot is turning back to normal!!

YAY! :) :)

[xfox]

Woo Hoo! Brag on! That's great news, Freida - I'm happy for you!

Now for my boast: can't admit how (very) long I used tobacco - but now I've been off it for 14 weeks more or less (actually more).

I have to admit it's getting better all the time.

[Gatsby]

I've tried to quit smoking. It never works. I've determined the problem lies in a complete lack of motivation - I like smoking.

[Coffee]

*Screaming with JOY* Whoo Hooo...yay Frieda!!! :) :) :) Is the pain getting less too?

And way to go xFox :D...best thing you can do for yourself. In a couple more months you will just feel a twinge of "want" without a feeling of "need" when you smell them burning nearby.

[Jack Flanders]

... good for your health and good for your wallet!

[lapietra]

scream with joy people:


the bone tissue in my CRPS foot is turning back to normal!!

YAY! :) :)

Oh WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!

That is wonderful news!!! The best I've heard in awhile :D Okay... I guess I can stop wishing for a bionic foot for you... :rolleyes: :p

days til dirty weekend countdown: 2

woo

[trisherina]

A set of six genuine bona fide Laguiole steak knives in their cuddly wooden box in a bin at a discount outlet store, marked down to $20.00. CDN! LIFE IS GOOD!

[xfox]

^^ heard recently that finding a bargain sends endorphins thru the system similar to that of cocaine, the latter of which is not really good and why governments discourage it's use.

I lerve a bargain! Speaking of knives, last weekend at an estate sale I found a Cuisinart boning knife for $4 in new condition! I have tons of bargain stories and need to have a yard sale, or figure out ebay!

Thanks to everybody for all the encouragement on giving up the addictive, toxic expensive, unhealhty, dirty substance. I guess our gvmt is letting nature takes it's course, given tobacco was one of the first commodities sold in the early days of the US. Maybe they'll find a good use for it someday. I'm still FREE!

[trisherina]

So, what are you going to bone?

:p Congratulations on stopping smoking, and may you enjoy many years of user dreams!

[Jack Flanders]

Yeah, rah xfox!! Keep strong! Don't inhale!! I use to bargain hunt, too, but ran out of storage room.

[xfox]

So, what are you going to bone?


:p Congratulations on stopping smoking, and may you enjoy many years of user dreams!


I carved out some watermellon with ease!

Thanks! :D

[trisherina]

I have finally been able to stop feeding the Neopets (http://www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=spam_2002) for Miss Rat.

[Frieda]

i just got this:

http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/3408/tok004mxv6.gif http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/9564/tok004l2ii4.jpg

the Shinshoku watch (http://www.tokyoflash.com/en/watches/tokyoflash/shinshoku/)from Tokyoflash!

i love it, it's huge, it's stainless steel and it has led lights.. what else could a geek wish for?? :) :D

[T.I.P.]

^ from the ad:

"On the multi-color LED model the red lights (12) indicate the hour, the green (3) indicate 15 minutes each & the Yellow (14) are 1 minute each.
By telling the time in this way it makes it very easy to see if its roughly quarter-past, half-past or quarter-to the hour. With each green LED worth 15 mins; then 2 lit equals 30 mins."

--> nobody else will be able to tell what time it is from that watch. Sweet :D

I'm still in the market for one of these binary babies:

[Frieda]

^ oh yeah, also very neat! i also liked this one (http://www.tokyoflash.com/en/watches/twelve_5-9/b_version/), but i chose the shinshoku.. man, was i glad this morning that i stayed home from work so i could open the door when the postman showed up.. :D

[craig johnston]

i want one of those slidey things!

i went out last night to a really cool variety show (http://www.wintergarten-variete.de/)
with a gorgeous woman.

[Jack Flanders]

Wow!!! They sure are bendy! I can touch my toes!!!! :)

[craig johnston]

[Tunesmith]

My hard drive is officially 1/3 music files. :cool:

[brightpearl]

I made these:

[lukkucairi]

brightpearl, did you do some mathematical crocheting at one point? or was that someone else?

I sprouted a hamburger bean (http://www.seabean.com/guide/Mucuna_sloanei/index.htm).

now I just need a rain forest to go with it.

[Jack Flanders]

OK, eww.

[lukkucairi]

Eww?

what's wrong with Mucuna sloanei?!

if that offends you, then check out my Entada gigas!

http://www.vodou.org/images/herbs/acacie_a_grandes_gousses.jpg

edit: the Entada just broke the surface of the soil in the pot this morning :)

why am I growing rainforest liana vines in Utah? I don't know :o

[brightpearl]

brightpearl, did you do some mathematical crocheting at one point? or was that someone else?

Yeah, the hyperbolic sea slug puppet.

[lukkucairi]

Yeah, the hyperbolic sea slug puppet.

I liked that :D

[brightpearl]

^^Thank you for validating my appalling nerdiness. I like your hamburger vine. Those make great beads, btw.

[Tunesmith]

^ ^ My friend Lara did an amonite, once. That thing was like a work of art...it had intricate whorls and spirals, with little grey tendrils.

I almost picked up crocheting at that point, just so I could make amonites out of yarn :rolleyes:

[craig johnston]

not sure if this counts as bragging, but i have an acquaintance
who crochets sperm out of wire.

:o

[Tunesmith]

craig, that's something you mention if you're in a conversation you want to get out of REALLY FAST

My kiddo was in a play this morning. The kids wrote it themselves. His acting style is quite obviously heavily influenced by Monty Python and the Holy Grail...He played a character that he named The Black Knight, and I'm pretty sure I heard him say "Nih!" when he was fighting the dragon.

[Frieda]

Don't want johnnycake to look like a big whirlpool of cornmeal.

They all slept til it was done so it was one of the bestest yet. :)

[Frieda]

despite the fact that i didn't meet any of the requirements (university degree, MCSE nerd certification, economics skills and more of that stuff), i managed to get my ass into the Corporate Management Acceleration Programme.

maybe i'm going to have a career after all and work my way up towards the underworked and overpaid leaders in corporate life :)
