Train pub 58

[The crowned one]

When the train rides these are the Rules:

Just look them over and feel free to ask if you have any questions. At the request of several people, I've included short and long versions of the guidelines.... if you do decide to join us, and you aren't clear about something, please take a moment to read the longer rules below the yellow soundbites. :D


SHORT RULES:
The Trade train is a fast, fun game that allows you to trade a deck you don't need for a deck you do by setting up a series of Stations at which Tarot decks are offered and chosen. :)
Each player is a "Station" we will visit on the trip for a set period of time, according to a randomly assigned order.
You may choose your deck at any time.
First player to choose a deck at a Station moves us to the next Station.
For this train, the Station order is determined by preassigned random order.
You will only offer when we reach your "Station."
Any kind of deck is fair game.
Riders may join the train during the ride (until the last 3 stations), but will not pick til the next offering/Station.
You must complete a trade to keep your chosen deck.
Everyone who trades a deck will pick a deck. It's a win/win.
Each player must have fun.
It is that easy. As others can attest, these trains are fun, hilarious, and exciting.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LONG RULES:
ITINERARY: From the sign up list of riders, we will generate a random order of Stations. This itinerary will determine the order in which you will post your decks to trade. But you can CHOOSE at any time. This itinerary will be posted at the top of the thread along with a record all of the completed trades...

SPEED OF THE TRAIN: We spend 24 hours maximum at each station (i.e. person listing decks) before moving on to the next station. If/when someone picks a deck, the next person/station can list as fast as they want. So you have to stay on your toes and in theory we could go through the whole train in an afternoon. You have a MAX of 12 hours to show at your station before we move on, you are slotted into the next available spot, so do not worry if you are late :)

OFFERING DECKS: You may list as many as you like, but but will only trade one. Everyone who trades a deck will get to choose a deck. Any type of deck is suitable: Majors-only, Pip decks, Oracles, Sets, along with full 78 card decks are welcome. You may change your decks as often and as fast as you like while the train is at your station. And remember, offering a better selection encourages every station to offer a better selection themselves to insure they'll place a deck. It's a win/win!

SELECTING A DECK: You can choose your deck at any time from any rider, but once you have chosen you may not choose again. If you choose a deck you must trade a deck to close your deal. This is a chance to expand our horizons for the cost of post.

NO TAKERS?: Feel free to tweak your offerings during the allotted hours of your station. If no one chooses any of your decks within the alotted hrs the train moves on to the next person/station below you on the itinerary. You will have a chance to list new trades later as when the list reaches the bottom it will go through a second time, starting at the top with the first person who has not had a deck picked from his list.

KEEPING IT FRESH / KEEPING IT NEW: Remember: the quality of each offering dictates the quality of every other trade... The train is only as snazzy as we make it. In order to keep the landscape surprising and to insure the train moves at a reasonable speed, please board the train ready to shake up your offerings. If there are no takers within the first 6 hours, consider changing your offerings. We encourage everyone to list at least 2 decks that are not repeats from the previous train. If a deck has not found a home on the previous train(s), its likely that people already own it or don't care to. If you list an offering identical to the previous train, and a trade is not made, we will move on after 12 hrs.

UNCOMPLETED TRADES: What If someone picks a deck, but the person that listed their choice fails to choose a deck for themselves? Unfortunately then the person that picked that deck would lose that deck. This sure will add some butterfly style excitement. At this point that person that lost their first choice would have a opportunity to re-choose in the second go-a-round.

FINISHING YOUR RIDE: After you have listed, traded away a deck, and accepted a deck you are off the train, but feel free to participate in the chatter. After you finish a trade please leave your decks posted for at least another 24 hrs so all those aboard can browse what they missed...

END OF THE LINE: No decks will be sent until all trades in the chain are complete or the train finishes two laps. This insures no one will be left out and also gives train members something to look forward to/worry about in the days ahead.

Caboose trades are welcome but can NOT be discussed during the actual trade, we call that the end game frenzy, well I do ;)

TALK: In-game chatter is highly encouraged!

YOU CAN'T LOSE!: You only give a deck if you get one. If after the second round you have not managed a trade you are off of the train, nothing lost or gained, unless you accepted a deck, you would lose that, And that train member would re-list.

JOINING THE TRAIN: You can sign up starting now. Also, anyone may join the Train at any time before the train reaches the THIRD TO LAST person of the FIRST ROUND. Then the train closes: no more tickets.

~~~~~

The internal workings for those who care: The itinerary of offerings will be randomized blindly. I've asked another rider to send me a mixed list of numbers equal to the number of people on the train.

Even more boring internal workings: With just 20 riders we have 1 048 576 combinations of deck combinations in all at just one deck. With a average of 3 or 4 decks being listed each the number is huge. To be in matched pairs takes it to 190 opportunities. SO with just 20 players we have collectively 190 opportunities to make a trade, imagine the numbers as we add cars to this train...


THE PUB IS A PUBLIC HOUSE, EVERYONE IS WELCOME, AND WILL BE GREETED AND MADE AT HOME. :)

Please keep "what you are creating" in the what you are creating forum, putting up links to it in the train is breaking forum etiquette: "Don't cross-post or repeat the same message in more than one board" per forum rules, as they will be deleted without further ado, sorry everyone.

I'm home!

Mell, I'm so very glad that my narrow-sitedness with Hezicos can enable you. Its a lovely deck, even aside from the sexy court cards.

Hell, I even find the Queen's sexy.

But, enough about that. Its Friday night and I'm having a shot and a beer!

[Queen of Disks]

[yirabeth]

Welcome home Blue!

[BlueDragonfly]

*skids to a stop*

Phew, I thought I got left behind there for a minute! :bugeyed:

[emmsma]

Hey QoD. How goes it?

Was it you or CHiska that turned me on to Mercury Men? I can't remember and I'm sad that the series seems over for now. I need info. Got any for me? :P

[BlueDragonfly]

Welcome home Blue!

Thank You, thank you!

Long day, but with bonuses! I haz extra cash! Worked a private pay shift this afternoon and my client gave me an extra $20, then I had to return one of those prepackaged salad thingies back to the grocery store and got a 200% refund for it, so I made an extra $5! :D

[Mellaenn]

Oops! There you guys are! I was over taking another gander at the Hezicos...

[BlueDragonfly]

Oops! There you guys are! I was over taking another gander at the Hezicos...

I know, I was sitting here catching up and tried to post, only there wasn't a reply/quote box! *shakes head* I'm tired though, so it took me a few minutes to figure out that the thread was closed! :laugh:

[Mellaenn]

I thought that series just started? I haven't seen it yet...It was good, huh?

[yirabeth]

Hehe, me too Blue :P Dang revolving door keeps hitting me on the bum... :D

[Stormdancer]

**breaks into song**

I once WAS lost....

But now, I'm found....

'Twas grace that set me free....

Anyone else sing crap like this?

I also like....

'Tis a gift to be simple
'Tis a gift to be free
'Tis a gift to come down
Where we ought to be.......

Or......

I am WOman, hear me roar
In numbers TOO big to ignore..

LOL

:D

[Queen of Disks]

It was me! }) I just know what their blog says, that they have a story written for Season 2 but nothing has been shot yet.

http://www.mercuryseries.com/

*shakes fist* Curse you, cliffhangers!!! :P

[Stormdancer]

Hell, I even find the Queen's sexy.
From the last pub to this one....I'm ....er...."sensing" a theme...LOL })

[Mellaenn]

How about "I hear that train a comin', comin' round the bend!"

When is our next train, by the way!

[yirabeth]

No...I usually sing to Elaina, stupid little songs I make up using the tune from other songs...she likes it... LOL

Wait til she discovers I can't sing...I'll miss these simple days.... :)

[emmsma]

Waaah! Waiting blows!

And the series should have ended with episode 9. 10 seemed to start something new.

So whaddya think Mell, after taking another look?

Still very, very tempting. I did just have a surprise gig this week that paid some bills, hmmm...

[Stormdancer]

How about "I hear that train a comin', comin' round the bend!"

And I ain't seen the Sunshine since....

I don't know when.....

[yirabeth]

Okay, now I'm really off to bed...see you all tomorrow night!

[BlueDragonfly]

TCO said the next train is in September.

[emmsma]

Night yira.

Mell, if you are thinking you wanna go for it, drop her an email. her stock was dwindling when i bought mine several weeks ago...

[cardlady22]

I like the one my grandfather used to sing:

John Henry was a little baby
Sittin on his daddy's knee

His daddy picked him up
And threw him 'cross the room
And said

That baby done peed on me!

[Stormdancer]

No...I usually sing to Elaina, stupid little songs I make up using the tune from other songs...she likes it... LOL
Thiis is a lovely one.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIt3RsXgYDc

OH...too bad....maybe she'll catch it on the flip side....

[emmsma]

This is what I sang to Emmett when he was a baby.

I dreamed of singing it to my child - since I was one. :)

(((:heart:Emmsma:heart:)))...Yeah....

[Mellaenn]

Well, good visit, all! Got a long day tomorrow, so I'd best log it out. Night!

[emmsma]

Might gal. Gotta head out as well. Need to get the boy off to bed.

[Chiska]

New Pub!!

You guys are the greatest. :)

Hubby got a special phone call today - suffice it to say that we shall be submitting a new application with the correct form of the form. :D

In other news, I have polished off my resume and have submitted an application for an adjunct faculty position at the college.

And now, I am going to roam around the forum for a bit and catch up on exchange obligations. And send a PM to Wendy....

[cardlady22]

:party: Chiska :party:

Best wishes, honey!

[Shalyn]

Wow. I missed a whole pub.

*sigh*

In Cleveland now. Well, actually, Medina. Got a rental car - I was trying to go cheap, hubby said, "Hey, let's get the Camero."

*sigh*

Well, it's OK, but I wouldn't buy one. I'm too fa...fluffy for it.

[Laura Borealis]

Now I'm reading Stephanie Plum (by Janet Evanovich) I suppose it's supposed to be action/mystery mixed with romance...what it IS, is pure comedy. Haven't laughed so hard in a long time...I mean real burst out loud laughing while the kid says "Geez mom....." type of funny...

I love those books! And Ranger.... rrrrraaooowwwrrr!

[cardlady22]

Hey, Shalyn! So, a Camaro is more of sprinter than a marathoner?

ETA: Carl Hiaasen is one who makes me laugh.

[Red_Ocean]

What happened to the other train pub?

I reno'd

There's a rule here that a thread can't be over 1000 posts. When a pub gets too big, it gets closed and open another. Look at the title, we've had 58 pubs so far this year.

[NorthernTigress]

Home now.

Volunteered a 4 hour shift, saw two plays, and sent my Reiki Teacher and her fiance to two plays. All in all, a good day.

This is wonderful :party:. A lovely boost to the beginning of the day.

Now I shall be vibing for your application ...... :D

[The crowned one]

A official hello to all :) Having a ale and relaxing :)

[Wendywu]

Morning/evening TCO :)

It's Saturday and my bloods are almost "normal" in the glucose line graph for the last ten days. I am the happiest of happy bunnies. Got himself firmly onside now that he can play with graphs and see tangible results :D:D. (Little things ....)

So - when is your scan?

I have to wait until 1/2 my body goes numb and my eye vibrates LOL.. it is ipsilateral so I think cerebellum... but the doc knows best.

EDIT) it is complex, blood work heart ventricle left hole...all sorts of stuff that spell things without me manifesting the actual thing ... so I am a tough nut to crack for her... symptoms without damage. We think right now it is a feed profusion to the brain. basically lack of blood. Clot or otherwise we are working on. ( most are dispersed in the lungs as strange as that sounds) but if you hgave a hole between chambers and my blood work it gets a bit...more like a stroke, but the Doc and I know I have not had one, and likely not a TIA even.

[Wendywu]

Yes - there are times when you trust the fact that the medics have studied and studied - no point second guessing them...

I admire neurologists - it's such an esoteric discipline in so many ways - the inner workings of the brain (physically) cannot be exactly easy to understand in any way at all!

[Wendywu]

Himself just told me

"Old mathmeticians never die; they just dis-integrate"


:D:D:D:D:D Oh I do like that one :laugh:

Yup I mentioned a time factor for the failure in the echocardiogram, and she said " it does not work like that' I was sort of embarrassed as the second she said it I realized it... but all the same she is sharp as a whip! I love what she is doing for me.

[Wendywu]

Yes, I have that kind of utter trust in my own specialists and in two of the GP's at my family practice.

And while we wait for your scan I will possess myself in patience but send as much power, strength and healing as is in me! (can't hurt, even though it's intangible :)).

[The crowned one]

I have no idea why but this really made me laugh hard! Thank-you!

I will , when I get the energy, send you a PM with way more medical details then you like, if you like, I have so much blood work and tests because I am a anomaly for these folks ( and some hate that I get what they are saying LOL) What we do know is it is not acute or I would be dead, but it is only sort of chronic as it comes and goes... well to me it is acute but not deadly ....

[Wendywu]

Yep - do send me details so I know what to worry about :). I worry .....

[BlueDragonfly]

Good Morning! A gentle rain, the kind that soaks in, is falling here, making some wonderful pattering sounds outside and on the roof. We are in need of it! :)

Wendy, that's fantastic news on your blood results! .....and now, back to your normally schedule eating! ;)

TCO, I'll send along some vibes joining with Wendy's, if that's alright with you. No idea what all is going on, but every little bit helps. :)

[Wendywu]

Morning BD - yes, that's a good sort of rain - the ground and plantlife love it!

Back from the in-laws who are doing fine. Dad is amazing - 87 now and still going strong! Mum failing a little, but still coping well.

Other than that - going to try for a long row after lunch - looking for 25,000m. But, still got a couple of hours to chill before then :)



Saw you'd got ome extra cash - well done. Found a home for it yet?

[PathWalker]

Hello from our house!
Everyone in my room, as the cricket is on the digital radio, so there's knitting, cookbooks, novels, and the radio playing :)

Hope everyone has a good day, whenever the sun rises for you.

[BlueDragonfly]

Enjoy your relaxation and row!

I haven't decided what to spend it on, yet. Since I've just gotten/am getting 3 decks, and no immediate cravings, I should spend it on something(boring, responsible) I need. :rolleyes: We'll see.

[Wendywu]

That sounds very cosy PW :). Hope we do OK in the cricket today!

It's a nice cool day today - ideal for me, and I'm already looking forward to it!!

[BlueDragonfly]

Greetings PW! It sounds like a lovely afternoon for you!

I've got my usual work schedule today, and a couple errands I need to take care of in-between.

[Wendywu]

Since I've just gotten/am getting 3 decks, and no immediate cravings, I should spend it on something(boring, responsible) I need. :rolleyes: We'll see.

Well I think I'd put it by ready for when a new craving hits })

I do have a piggy on my dresser top for Ciro's "Gilded Royale", I could feed it part of my bonus money....

Heh! I feel quite subversive :D

[BlueDragonfly]

:laugh: Nothing much tripped my trigger, but there is a possibility.....

[Wendywu]

Ya see - you could have wasted that money on gas, or electricity or something silly!!

[BlueDragonfly]

Yeah, I know! Thank you for reminding me of my priorities! ;)

Hmmm....I do need to go shoe shopping, no I'm not one of those women that have more shoes than brains, I could use some good walking shoes.

[Wendywu]

Yes - if your feet are warm, dry and comfy then it makes a huge difference to how the rest of you feels. I am a great believer in soft, comfy but supportive shoes.


Ahem - except for when I race down the road barefoot :laugh:

Yes, but that was the exception to the rule and a dam* good thing to have done!

My problem with atheletic shoes is they're all so heavy! I want something lightweight, but with thick padding and support in the soles......without taking out a second mortgage!

[Wendywu]

I have a couple of pairs of trainers with ultra lightweight soles and that makes all the difference. I can't remember what the stuff is called but it makes the trainers weigh so little! Amazing compared to the heavy soled ones.

[Wendywu]

They weren't pricey because I don't do pricey ...... wish I could remember what they call that stuff.

[BlueDragonfly]

That's what I'm looking for. If you think of the name, let me know.

Time for me to head out, have a great day!

[Rhinemaiden]

>>>>>-------:) brooming in... good morning, lovlies! :) and happy Sat to one and all!

Well I think I'd put it by ready for when a new craving hits })

splendid advice! earlier this week I set up a new account in my computer financial program... (everything runs out of one checking account, but on computer I have sub-accounts) new account is called: Secret Santa

SS is for big stuff (like a new computer) as opposed to the Treats account that pays for smaller ticket items like new decks... right now my Treats account is overdrawn :( so NO MORE deck buying for awhile! :(

[Wendywu]

That's what I'm looking for. If you think of the name, let me know.

Time for me to head out, have a great day!

Flexible polyurethane!! Sold as flexible PU unit soles. Ultra lightweight. Very comfy :)

[Rhinemaiden]

My problem with atheletic shoes is they're all so heavy! I want something lightweight, but with thick padding and support in the soles......without taking out a second mortgage!

I buy mine at Payless Shoes... brand is Cross Trekkers... price in the islands is about $25 pair and they are comfortable! Great fit, great comfort... my current pair (not worn every day) is two years old and going strong... if you have a Payless shoes near you, check it out...

[Wendywu]

Morning RM :). All well with you?

[Rhinemaiden]

Morning RM :). All well with you?

Hi Wendy... I'm finer than frog hair! LOL about to broom off to get my hair cut, after the weekly taking out of trash to the resident dumpster (oh, how I love condo living and having a trash service... no more driving to the dump with trash in my car)... then it's grocery shopping to acquire more trash for next week... I keep asking myself... why play middle man? Why not just take the grocery sacks and dump them directly in the trash? Save myself hauling groceries up to my 2nd floor apt... LOL

sounds like you are having a splendid day yourself! anyone see meteors last night/early this am??? peak of the August Perseid shower... (too cloudy here, damn and blast!)

---------------------------------

up, up and away.... later, 'gators! >>>>>-------:)

[Wendywu]

Sorry about posting and running - unexpected company. Gone now though, and I've had lunch and am letting it settle before rowing.

Glad you get a trash service now! Can't imagine not having our lovely dustbin men call round - very friendly bunch :D.

[Stormdancer]

UGH....

G'Morning~~~

**wanders off ISO coffee**

[PathWalker]

Wanders in with bird seed (and worse I expect) in my hair, also hoping for a coffee - morning Stormy :)

[cardlady22]

Good morning!

Those in need, fill up (http://www.potterydreams.com/images/dsc04070_600x480.jpg) with whatever type your mouth lusts after!

[Stormdancer]

DD starts packing....comes out 10 minutes later and says, "I'm halfway done"....ROTFLMAO.....yeah, ok...

[cardlady22]

:P That's about the time my mom would head into Lil Bro's room with a yardstick . . . swoosh! Out into the middle of the floor- 10 times what had been actually dealt with!

[NorthernTigress]

Good Morning All

A little less rushed this morning. Another morning volunteer shift, and after that... who knows?

[Stormdancer]

Kinda quiet in here this morning...

Are you doing the fest again today, NT?

[NorthernTigress]

Kinda quiet in here this morning...

Are you doing the fest again today, NT?

Yep, a four hour volunteer shift there, then the rest of the day is for me. Unless they are really short on ppl, then I might do a second volunteer shift.

Edit: That said, it's time to go!

[Wendywu]

Yippee!!! That's my million meters this season passed :D. I'm well over my million in my lifetime meters, but it's good to have got the million up for the season (which started on 1st May).

Onward and upward!

[cardlady22]

Congratulations, Wendywu!

[Chiska]

Awesome Wendy!! A Million Meters!! What an inspiration!

Good morning, Pub!

The cheerful mood around the house this morning is a bit less forced than it has been. Nothing like a good sleep.

Hope everybody feels good today.

[Wendywu]

Was delighted to hear about your husband's phone call :)

[The crowned one]

Yippee!!! That's my million meters this season passed :D. I'm well over my million in my lifetime meters, but it's good to have got the million up for the season (which started on 1st May).

A million metres? I thought you said litres! And I thought so what , that just a month of ales for me }) ;)

Great job Wendy! Amazing! ( and I sent you $$)

[Wendywu]

I got it thank you - and I'm gonna spend it tonight :D.


Heh - million litres :D

Mind you, according to that idiot trainee GP my over diluted blood (:bugeyed:) is caused because I drink too much (water). I thought I had kidneys to process water ......

[Chiska]

Was delighted to hear about your husband's phone call :)

Thanks, Wendy!!

I told him that if they had really, really wanted him, that he would get a phone call before the end of the week. They can reject a list and request another. The little black cloud that has been over him all week has lifted. *whew*

And in other good job news - a hiring freeze has been lifted at a federal agency and my students are now back in the running for excellent paid internships again!! What a great opportunity. I am really excited and can't wait 'til Monday to flood their emails with this great news.

[Chiska]

I saw this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ARTHURIAN-TAROT-72-CARD-DECK-159-PAGE-BOOK-RARE-VG-/120763155643?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c1e0b84bb) at eBay - is the deck pictured the Celtic Tarots by Courtney Davis?

Super rare - to get a deck by one person and a book by another! :)

I wouldn't mind the book....but the price is too high considering I don't want the deck. Have contacted the seller - maybe they will separate the pair and put the book up at a lower price.

[Wendywu]

Yeah that's the Courtney Davis deck - always very intricate images, but the book is the one that goes with the Caitlin and John Matthews Arthurian :).

And I have a spare which you are welcome to have if you want it - of the book, that is.

[Stormdancer]

Packing SUCKS!

Just sayin'...lol

Taking a break...

[cardlady22]

(((Stormy))) How about some comic relief?

In other news, I have polished off my resume and have submitted an application for an adjunct faculty position at the college.

This is WONDERFUL!!!

[Stormdancer]

(((Stormy))) How about some comic relief?


The kitty pretty much says it all...LOL

So far, 3 garbage bags of clothes for donation, and I haven't made MY contribution to that yet. Also, 3 bags of trash...mostly from the kid's rooms. Midkid did GREAT! DD was a pia and has left...LOL But she did make a large dent in an overwhelming room. I'm not sure but I think I can get to my side now without dying...LOL

[Stormdancer]

WHOAaaaaaa

Black storm clouds! :party:

[Stormdancer]

OH...HEY....I haz Magic cards!

I'm pretty sure Eldest said I could have them, but I need to make sure.

OH...and Pokeman marbles :D

I love raiding the kid's toys...

[cardlady22]

They make some pretty amazing oracles, if I do say so myself.

Bright sunshine here. And the mail came! Someone is laughing at me. It's the 2006 Reader when I'm really wanting to read Part 1 of an article found in the 2007. :P

LOL...you edited while I was looking for pliers...which we found more of...

What are you talking about? What reader?

[cardlady22]

Llewellyn started a series called Tarot Reader that only lasted 4 years: 2005-2008. I've snatched some used copies to have the various articles. They have nifty articles from various tarot people, deck previews (b&w) and reviews, etc.

Guess now people do it on their own blogs . . . but I do like having an in-hand book reference.

And now to open my Psycards oracle from MoonGypsy . . .

[Stormdancer]

So, is there any kind of rhyme or reason to these Magic cards? I have a box labeled Dissension/ Azorius Ascedant....and another box lableled Fifth Dawn/Sunburst Deck. Both are "Expert". And then loose cards that say Deckmaster on the backs.

[cardlady22]

Those are different expansion sets based on parts of those worlds. I have links for when you have more time to fool with them. It's played like a super-charged game of War. You add on effects to boost or block the damage being done.

http://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Article.aspx?x=magic/rules/faqs

You have two ready-to-play decks there and then a bunch of extras to customize them.

http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/productarticle.aspx?x=mtg_tcg_dissension_themedeck LOL...ya keep editing...I see what you mean about those deckmaster cards. They all say Land or Basic Land. I'll check out your link. Thanks :*

ETA...I'll check out BOTH links! You're hard to keep up with...LOL

[cardlady22]

Lands are important because they are what you need to gather the energy required to make your attacks. Added benefit: some gorgeous art from incredible artists all over the world.

[Stormdancer]

OH...ALL of the cards are Land cards. I just opened the boxes. That's interesting.

>>>>>-------:) brooming back into the pub...

hi all!

of course packing sucks... big time! because you have to make physical contact with everything you own... keep/toss... doesn't matter, you still have to TOUCH IT and DO SOMETHING WITH IT! Storm, you have all my empathy! Best part? you NEVER HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN! You own your new place, it can become your pyramid... you never have to move for the rest of your life! :) hold the thought... LOL

[Wendywu]

Just beginning to think about peanuts, or something similar to snack on. Luckily I have some :). Jumbo ones :D


Sounds like the packing is going well there Stormy - I did it so often when I was younger I got pretty good at it. My mum moved house 34 times during the course of her married life - Dad was in the military and we moved with him. I went to 14 schools! Explains a lot, I think ...

[Stormdancer]

Thanks Ladies :*

I need to make a run to the used book store. I'll be back...

that's a lot of packing/unpacking! ;)

you've lived in some interesting places... do tell!

[Wendywu]

Well I was small when we lived in Singapore (moved twice while we were there), and still only 10 when we lived in Germany for a few years (stayed in one house :bugeyed:). Dad specialised in something fairly important/secret and we ended up on just a few bases, going from one to the other for a year or so until we finally settled down. Even then my parents had itchy feet and moved every couple of years.

After dad came out of the military he went to work for the navy as a something expert in a civilian capacity. And so the moves continued ....

As an adult I have stayed in the same home for the past 26 years and it would take a bomb to get me out of it :D

[Wendywu]

The peanuts were nice. Might have some pork scratchings later. I love them :). And I can afford the calories because today's rowing cost me 1100 calories expended - I won't eat them all "back" but I can certainly have a treat or two.

Chiefly I'm after the salt I think. Good for my over-diluted blood ;) (it'll be a long time before I forget that idiot's comment).

[cardlady22]

I'm not going to let them test my blood. :P
It's made of Coke and ice water.

What a fascinating upbringing! But unsettling at times, I'm sure, being the "new kid" in the class.

Staying in the same place suits me... before I moved a couple of years ago, I'd lived in the same place for 21 years... and would still be there if the owner of the house hadn't died and her heirs wanted to sell. (House is STILL on the market) In retrospect having to move was a good thing... I had far too much c/s and going from a small place with some storage to a slightly larger place with NO storage meant a MASSIVE cleanout! Like Thoreau said "simplify, simplify, simplify..." (but now I collect tarot decks... wonder what he'd say about that! LOL)

[Rhinemaiden]

I'm all for food treats! Today I happened on ice cream cups (3 oz portions of ice cream in a cup... like Dixie cups, or the marvelous ice cream treats during the interval in London theatres) and I bought 2 packs... one is fudge swirl in vanilla, the other birthday cake complete with sprinkles! :D being a major ice cream PIG -- I'm convinced that once a carton is opened it starts to go bad, so consuming it is the only remedy -- portion control is essential! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

pork scratchings... like fried pork rinds? related to BACON????? (hear that, Storm????)

[Wendywu]

I was quite lucky with schools - they were schools purely for service kids and worldwide they follow the same curriculum. I left school in Germany one day, started one in the UK two days later and had only missed that day or two's schooling. Also, you'd always know one or two of the kids in the class - might not like them overmuch, but you knew someone. Classes were small too, and the teachers were high quality because the authorities knew we needed all the help we could get :)

[cardlady22]

Evil temptress! Off to see if there's any more cookies-n-cream in the freezer . . .

[Wendywu]

pork scratchings... like fried pork rinds? related to BACON????? (hear that, Storm????)

Yep :). Scrummy. Like the crackling on a pork joint, but in small pieces and very crunchy. I love the stuff.... sadly, so do the dogs :(

I love those too... the crackly bits... on pork, chicken, turkey... yum! Pork rinds were VERY big when the Atkins diet was in vogue... I think it was the only allowed "junk food type" snack...

Hang in there sweetheart! This too will pass.....

[kaleanna]

(((((((Wendy))))))))))

Things today went from being so so to really bad,

[kaleanna]

I just not sure how to make it through, I feel like crap right now. So many things weighing on my mind, and I have always considered myself a positive person but right now just not sure how to keep being positive. I feel as though I have let lots of people down. I have tried lots of different things and nothing seems to work.

*pulls blanket up as the tears fall*

[Chiska]

Yeah that's the Courtney Davis deck - always very intricate images, but the book is the one that goes with the Caitlin and John Matthews Arthurian :).

And I have a spare which you are welcome to have if you want it - of the book, that is.

Seriously? I would love it. I have the deck and I just love it, but no book. It does have a very thorough LPB (Purple). I'd have to wait a bit, though, to help with postage.

I contacted the seller and got a "thank you!" back and they have taken down the posting. I'd hate to see somebody get dinged for that if it were unintentional.

I am ready for a nap and all I have done is clean the bathrooms, slice strawberries for the drier, and updated my silly blog. Pathetic.

Silly cat story: I was just peeling an onion over the wastebasket, and my cat Max was underfoot... apparently she caught a drop of the onion juice, because she jumped up and ran into the next room, sat to lick her side, and shot me a dirty look! Hey cat, I didn't do it on purpose :P

You DO remember there's a net, right? I'm Touching the strand for you. The thing is, ya just have to keep going. There are kids to consider, and I KNOW you are a GOOD Mom. Hide in a corner, sob your heart out, go to sleep, and greet the New Day. It's all we CAN do sometimes...Put one foot in front of the other, and try REALLY hard not to trip yourself...LOL

[Stormdancer]

Jeopardy...do I dare try?


yeah yeah yeah...ok...:D

[Stormdancer]

OH...ALL of the cards are Land cards. I just opened the boxes. That's interesting.

SO...I called Eldest to see if I have to move ALL his crap...his answer was pretty much "Yes" :(

ANYway, I told him about the Magic cards and how they were all "Land" cards. He said, "I TOLD you that", but I didn't "get" it until I saw them. I DID find a stray Chain Energy card. I was VERY excited by this.

Packing is boring...LOL

[Laura Borealis]

THAT is funny!! I've not had that happen.

It made me laugh :P But poor kitty, this is not her day... she's hiding under the bedcovers now because that is the safest place to be when it thunders. ((((Max))))

Her other thunderstorm hiding-place is in the fireplace. Why there? I don't know! You'd think the chimney would act as a conduit for the sound, but I guess the den-like nature of the fireplace makes it feel safe to her.

PS. We NEVER light fires in it. I don't know when the chimney was last cleaned but given that this is a 150 year old house, who knows what kind of creosote and crap is up in there.

[Stormdancer]

So far most of what I've tossed has been paper. Kids are paper magnets....I'm convinced.

[yirabeth]

I'm here...I'm so gawdawful tired....I didn't catch up, I tried to but there was too many pages. Probably won't make it long tonight because I really think I'm coming down with something..I ache from head to foot and I'm frozen like a popsicle...(This could be the fact that I left windows opened and fans going -- and it was VERY cold and rainy today hehe) My fondest dream is to be smack in the middle of my bed with about 20 heavy comforters on top of me!

Anyway. Hi all :)

[Stormdancer]

Heya toots~~~

Sorry you're feeling poorly :(

How's the Man-child? The visit went ok?

[yirabeth]

The visit went great, Elaina was very happy to see Daddy...she's not forgetting him at ALL :) Even before I could get a hug from Joe, she's got her arms out reaching for him and squealing... ♥ (I was holding her. I had to wait for my hug, Elaina was pretty insistent SHE was first...hehe) I think that's one worry Joe could put to rest :P

[Chiska]

That is great news! That will give Joe something to hang on to between visits - knowing that his baby girl still loves him!

[yirabeth]

I do think she'll remember and love him as much when this is all over, as she did when it started...he just worries so much about EVERYTHING...he's worse than ME!!! And I really didn't think THAT was possible.... :bugeyed:

[yirabeth]

So just read back a bit...Chiska I'm soo glad there's a redo on that!!Good luck to hubby!♥ (really he's awesome and they WANT him so of course they gave a redo, and he really doesn't need luck because, he's awesome!)

TCO I read about you also...sending love and blessings and energies for you...(((TCO)))

[Stormdancer]

I do think she'll remember and love him as much when this is all over, as she did when it started...he just worries so much about EVERYTHING...he's worse than ME!!! And I really didn't think THAT was possible.... :bugeyed:Honey, he's got LOTS of time to worry over stuff. :(

[yirabeth]

Honey, he's got LOTS of time to worry over stuff. :(

Aint that the truth... :( He's doing pretty good though. Coming to grips with things...it helps to see Elaina's joy to see him I'm sure :)

[yirabeth]

Oh and get this -- Krystal told him about my problem with J last week...He has applied for a dispensation (?) to write a letter overseas. To bitch him out and tell him to get lost or he'd come looking for him when he got out. Said he figured the guy was a wimp and would leave me alone because Joe would be an Ex-Con. :rolleyes:

I told him I had it under control LOL I just had to laugh though...I did tell him to save his money, he didn't need to pay for postage overseas....LOL

[BlueDragonfly]

Hi Honeyz! I'm Home! *waves at everyone*

(((Yira))), Get yourself a good night's rest, and hopefully you'll feel better in the A.M. And what Stormy said about Joe having so much time to "think" about things.....I have to agree!

I don't envy you the packing at all Stormy, but send my best "just get through it" vibes.....;)

That's great news about Hubby's chances with this job, Chiska! :thumbsup:

[yirabeth]

Ooh, are you packing tonight Stormy? Sucky job...but soo much goodness at the other end of the job!

Hey Blue :)

[Stormdancer]

Ooh, are you packing tonight Stormy? Sucky job...but soo much goodness at the other end of the job. :)Yeahyeahyeah whatever..... :bugeyed:


I told him I had it under control LOL I just had to laugh though...I did tell him to save his money, he didn't need to pay for postage overseas....LOLYour Eldest and mine...Peas in a pod....

[yirabeth]

Yeah...he MEANT well though.... :D

For a moment it was even tempting :P

[emmsma]

Howdy personas!cHome and exhausted. Woke 45 minutes late today, had to do the mad dash to be ready in time.

Had wacky dreams that Emm woke me on the couch while sneaking to turn on the tv to play on the ps3 again. I cried all the way back to bed, cause I only had 2 hours to sleep.

I'd been awake from 120am til after 3am.

Then I woke, still on the couch at 545. My ride was waiting for me.

The day was insane. We had about 3 more dentals than we could handle and plenty of surgery to go around.

THe wellness clinic people started lining up at 11am. We weren't ready for them til 1245.

We weren't due to start til 1pm.

And we ran til about 530. :(

[Stormdancer]

Yeah...he MEANT well though.... :D

For a moment it was even tempting :P
I know........

My Eldest is Knight of Swords....Yours?

[emmsma]

Sorry you aren't feeling well, yira, but it sounds like you had a good visit with Joe.

Sorry to hear your ex is giving yyou trouble. Sorry if I missed you talking about it before. I'm not feeling up to searching back to all I"ve missed.

Hey CHiska! That great that the job is giving hubby a chance to go for it agian.

And I got a letter today: EMMETT HAS INSURANCE! NO INCREASE IN OUR CO-PAY!!

[yirabeth]

Welcome home Emmsma :) Sounds like a bit of a rough day for you :( BUT YAYYYY!! For Emm's insurance!

No...didn't really discuss, just kinda hid for a while..felt sorry for myself and licked my wounds type of thing :rolleyes: LOL

Yeah, Joe is probably Knight of Swords, with a hint of Page of Swords I'd say...

[Stormdancer]

And I got a letter today: EMMETT HAS INSURANCE! NO INCREASE IN OUR CO-PAY!!whOOOOOOT!!!!

Party in Da Pub!!!! :party:

**wipes a tear**

Sweet dreams Blue :)

I'm off too...I have a date with my bed, my pillow, and every blanket in my closet... :D

Have a good night everyone :)

[Stormdancer]

Good night Ladies
ah, Ladies Goodnight
It's time to say G'Bye~~~~

[emmsma]

NIght sleepyfolks. You have a good idea there. I'm soon to be off too.

I HAVE to write out my reading for the COS - first thing tomorrow and leave my feedback.

[Queen of Disks]

I am home. Work was a mess. It wasn't busy, but the new girl never showed up and I was by myself. :( And customers were being annoying. :mad:

(((Kaleanna, TCO, and Yira)))

I did stop at Borders and got a couple of things. I upgraded my Original RWS to the new one printed in China. It's matte and not plastic and the colors are less blotchy and doesn't look so much like a Roy Lichtenstein painting. :) And a book about Edgar Cayce and a book about how to be psychic that was originally printed in 1916. :D Spent more then I should have but it was cool. :)

[Chiska]

Missed Emmsma - but YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA about Emm getting on the insurance.

Queen of Disks - sounds like one of the "Calgon Days." Ugh. I am glad that I no longer work with customers. I got so tired of the abuse from people who were just so ill mannered.

The new Chinese printing is pretty nice? Is it like the difference in the Deviant Moon?? The Italian one is just disgusting (mine still smells like chemicals and I got it right after they came out!!). The Chinese printing is quite nice. Matte finish and the cards are sturdy, but yet easier to shuffle.

I might be interested in something like that - though I am not a big RW user. It is nice to pull it out once in a while!

[Wendywu]

Yay Emm!!!!!!!! At last :party:

Glad we're all home, all safe.


(((Kale))) It will get better. The Wheel always turns - it has no choice!

[Chiska]

Okay, that's it! I have GOT to go to bed! LOL

I have watched the latest episode of Torchwood - Miracle Day. I have watched the end of the baseball game (we won!). I have done a reading using Thoth regarding this current job situation for my husband. (Very interesting and full of FIRE and WANDS)

I can't sew because I have had an alcoholic beverage* and as a complete light-weight, I would just make a mess of that!

So, good night world! See you in the morning. :D


*a small bit of Kahlua w/ cream and ice blended up like a yummy naughty smoothy*

[Wendywu]

Oh yum - even at 7.00 a.m. that drink sounds good :D

Sleep well - see you tomorrow :heart:

And sooo relieved about husband's application. Just gotta keep vibing until he gets the job!

[Wendywu]

She isn't around to say this to but :

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAT :party:

Hey all - greetings from Kyoto!! Can't stay and chat - stuck on a bus just now - but wanted to say hi from this most spiritual of cities. Posting some nice pics on FB if you know me there.

Anyway, be well. Catch you eventually!

Hi and bye Zan :). Be well!

Isn't that strange, I was just thinking about Zan and wondering what he's been up to and poof! there's a post from him! :D Sorry I missed it!

I'm going to have to travel further afield to find a pair of shoes I like. :( This is one of the disadvantages of living in such a rural(small town) area.

Morning Stormy :). I love lazy Sundays. And this really is a lazy Sunday afternoon :D.

[Mellaenn]

Morning, all! I'm trying to work up the energy to get to the gym; I am way overdue at that place. Long day yesterday (I was reading all day) but I did really well!

Good to think of Kat; wish she was around. Nice to see a post from the Zan Manl will check out fb.

Thumbs up on the insurance for Emm, emmsma!

Blue - try Zappos for shoes. The shoes will literally be there the next day and you can return them if you don't like them.

[Stormdancer]

G'Morning Mel~~~

Where were you reading? How do you make time for breaks?

((Stormy)) At a shop in a nearby town. Sometimes you don't get a break. I was kind of spaced at the end of the day and the last reading I did was tough. I think that was mostly because it was a friend and the cards weren't telling her what she wanted to hear so she kept going "What about ___ and what about __?" and we would throw the cards again and again. Whew!

[Stormdancer]

((Stormy)) At a shop in a nearby town. Sometimes you don't get a break. I was kind of spaced at the end of the day and the last reading I did was tough. I think that was mostly because it was a friend and the cards weren't telling her what she wanted to hear so she kept going "What about ___ and what about __?" and we would throw the cards again and again. Whew!Oh...that's not good. Do you have any kind of strategy so you can avoid doing that again? It's probably more difficult since she's a friend, but still. That seems excessive! (((Mel)))

[Mellaenn]

Oh...that's not good. Do you have any kind of strategy so you can avoid doing that again? It's probably more difficult since she's a friend, but still. That seems excessive! (((Mel)))

Even though by now I have read in a various places and under many different circumstances, there are times when the fact that I'm still at the 'journeyman' level becomes apparent and yesterday was one of them. I suspect when I have even more experience that won't really be the case. She got a great reading, she said.

What had actually happened was that she walked in and asked for a reading and we were waiting for someone who had called and booked an appointment to come. That lady did promptly arrive and while I was doing HER reading, I was conscious of my friend waiting. It's one of the pitfalls of being an empath. And then, THAT reading ended up going into 30 minutes instead of 15 and we charge by the 15 minute increment. So I got a little stressed, and it was the end of the day, blah-blah-blah....there are these little aspects to reading pro that a different from just throwing the cards and taking however long you need! :)

[Stormdancer]

...there are these little aspects to reading pro that a different from just throwing the cards and taking however long you need! :)I know, and I quiver in fear. It can take me forever sometimes, but maybe that's because I CAN take my time in these exchanges.

So, when you read at this shop, do you share the $ with them? How does that work? And if it's too intrusive feel free to let me know...LOL

[BlueDragonfly]

.......

Blue - try Zappos for shoes. The shoes will literally be there the next day and you can return them if you don't like them.

G'Morning Mel!

Thanks for the lead! So, this is an online shoe source? I will check it out, as my choices here are very limited, and I really can't afford more than $50 max for a pair of shoes.

[BlueDragonfly]

G'Morning Blue~~~

Is there a shoe store near the lake? }) That would be ideal!

The closest thing to shoes near the lake are flipflops at the grocery/gas/general store! :laugh:

Today, might not be a lake day, it's drizzling, I'm damp from my walk. The weathereman "says" it'll clear up this afternoon, we'll see.

It's a 60/40 split but they charge enough so that I end up with about what I would charge on my own. I'm a fast reader because that is my style, but I am learning to slow down and also to let the sitter talk more.
G'Morning Mel!

Yes, they are online - they are expensive, though, but they have sales. I'm not kidding, if you ordered shoes today you would have them tomorrow! Do you have a hard to fit shoe size or anything? No problem! (My shoes are like little canoes, my feet are so big.)

[BlueDragonfly]

I just don't think that I'll ever read for the public. It was never really the reason I got into learning tarot. I've done a few readings here, and they've been good according to feedbacks-actually only in FSC, so only with oracles....*shrugs*

I do admire you for pursuing your goals in it, though, Mel! You'll get better as you get more and more readings under your belt!

[Mellaenn]

PS - Storm, great feedback on that reading about my job interview. Yes, I am very conflicted about this job (I need a job but I'm not in love with this one) and yes, I do have a sort of tarot mentor (great call on the Queen of Wands - I actually have two of them in my tarot world).

You are a very gifted reader. Maybe you should be reading on Saturday afternoons in a shop somewhere? Surely Chicago is a big enough city not to be afflicted with the "Bible-Belt Paralysis" with which the rest of the midwest is afflicted?

[Stormdancer]

Yes, I am very conflicted about this job (I need a job but I'm not in love with this one) and yes, I do have a sort of tarot mentor (great call on the Queen of Wands - I actually have two of them in my tarot world). I'm glad it resonated with you. I felt kinda bad that it seemed like I wasn't really addressing your question, though. I almost pulled it the next day.

Surely Chicago is a big enough city not to be afflicted with the "Bible-Belt Paralysis" with which the rest of the midwest is afflicted?Unfortunately, I'm about 40 min from the City. Out here in the 'Burbs there is only ONE metaphysical book store, and....LOL, I can just hear the excuses churning up!

[cardlady22]

}) And them standing in lovely warm water . . . tee heee.
Planning to hit the water park again. DD is taking along a friend so there may actually be the Courage for her to try a slide.

[Stormdancer]

(Pulls the Lovers card, which in the Gilded depicts the male lover lifting the female lover up) I say yes, but just barely!
I saw this and thought, "Maybe they can double up in the shower...in swim suits of course." LOL


Planning to hit the water park again. DD is taking along a friend so there may actually be the Courage for her to try a slide.Why are you showering before you go to the park?

OH, and G'Morning~~~

[BlueDragonfly]

*throws hands up in the air* Will shoe shop later......whatever happened to just plain white shoes, maybe a tiny bit of color, but you can keep the flourescent green and the pink stripes.......:mad:

[Mellaenn]

Blue, thanks for the supportive thoughts!

Storm, I left feedback for your feedback. :grin:

And yeah, cardlady - why ARE you guys taking showers before you hit the water park?

[cardlady22]

Why are you showering before you go to the park?Body odor, my dear. It's a long ride over there.

Mell, they've put me off about washing their hair for a couple of days. :rolleyes:
It's a Principle Thing now.

[Mellaenn]

*throws hands up in the air* Will shoe shop later......whatever happened to just plain white shoes, maybe a tiny bit of color, but you can keep the flourescent green and the pink stripes.......:mad:

Well, there's that and the color coordinating thing.....white or tan goes with everything. No black shoes thank you!

So sorry to hear this.....(((cardlady)))

Try Dial anti-bacterial soaps, works well for those tough to tackle odors! :D

[cardlady22]

Actually, it has gotten worse since using store-bought soaps. My MIL had been trying to work up a soap-making business and would make lovely bars for us that didn't leave scum or set off my allergies. But, things didn't pan out and with added health maintenance plus her job, she just doesn't have the time. She's even had to give up her starter breads. :(

[Mellaenn]

Hi, kaleanna!

LOL re: the cakes, cardlady! Hey, wonder if we can find a bacon cake?

[kaleanna]

((((Blue))))

[cardlady22]

LOL re: the cakes, cardlady! Hey, wonder if we can find a bacon cake?But we've given her SO much bacon already . . .
roses, cookies . . . :laugh:

[Mellaenn]

Oh, yum, whilst googling "bacon cake" I found a great article on Bacon Desserts on the NPR site:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120994007

[yirabeth]

G'morning all :) Feeling much better this morning, except for the sore lower back which I've woken up with every morning for months now... LOL Gonna have to figure that one out, it's annoying me! :D

Chocolate bacon sounds good to me, but not chocolate muffins. :P

[Mellaenn]

Yira! Maybe you should have a doc look at that? It could be any one of a number of things!

[cardlady22]

yira, how is your mattress? What position do you sleep?

[yirabeth]

Well I have a bad back I already know :) Bone spurs in my lower back, due to having grown up on a farm and worked like an adult, haying etc, when I was a "developing" child according to doctor...can fix it by operating and removing bone spurs.


NOT HAPPENING.

I usually sleep in a curve which kinda keeps the bone spurs from digging in and causing problems, but I think since Libby started sleeping with me she's pushed up close and prevented me from changing positions and it's not good for my back... I might have to stop the whole sleeping with me thing. She's gonna be so upset... :(

But every morning I get up and have to take motrin and sit in one spot til I can move again...

[Stormdancer]

G'Morning Kaleanna~~~

Hi, kaleanna!

LOL re: the cakes, cardlady! Hey, wonder if we can find a bacon cake?Yesssssss

Oh, yum, whilst googling "bacon cake" I found a great article on Bacon Desserts on the NPR site:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120994007Oh YUM!!! I'm saving that page :laugh:


http://cakes.dqd.com/Birthdays_web/images/Chinese%20takeout%20cakes.jpgum...what ARE those?

[yirabeth]

I think they're "sushi" cupcakes! But I could be wrong lol

[cardlady22]

um...what ARE those?Mini cakes. Pretty sure the "noodles" are just gloops of icing. I couldn't resist feeding your Oriental side. :grin:

[Stormdancer]

But every morning I get up and have to take motrin and sit in one spot til I can move again...This is NOT good. I can't sleep flat on my back anymore unless I have m feet up. My favorite place to sleep is on the loveseat where I sleep kinda like "V", but I'm not taking it with me. I'm considering one of those beds that moves, but I don't know, and they're expensive. What do you mean by you "sleep in a curve"?

[Stormdancer]

Mini cakes. Pretty sure the "noodles" are just gloops of icing. I couldn't resist feeding your Oriental side. :grin:AH...at first I thought Mac & cheese. I wonder if you can eat the chopsticks? Or are they candles?

[Mellaenn]

Well, I'd better go shake a tail feather. {Sigh} It's a beautiful day; think I'll go see what's going on!

[cardlady22]

I wonder if you can eat the chopsticks? Or are they candles?Pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate, dear one.

Contemplates a mac & cheese confection . . . :bugeyed:

[Stormdancer]

Well, I'd better go shake a tail feather. {Sigh} It's a beautiful day; think I'll go see what's going on!
Byeeeee~~~ :*

Pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate, dear one.

Contemplates a mac & cheese confection . . . :bugeyed:Yeah, the whole mac & cheese idea had me stunned.

[yirabeth]

Like you, I don't sleep flat... my back is usually in a C shape -- rather than straight like most would, which causes bone spurs to dig into my spine/nerves around my spine. I used to sleep in the recliner a lot before my divorce but don't have a recliner now. Also, the waterbed was EXCELLENT....because I could sleep on my back and would naturally curve, plus it was warmth in my back....

Now I have a pillow top mattress which is pretty soft and allows for curving...and I've not had any problems BUT...I think Libby's gonna have to sleep elsewhere :( Unless I can somehow get her to NOT sleep so close...

[BlueDragonfly]

*waves bye to Mel*

G'Morning Yira! Sorry you're having back pains first thing in the morning! It's so tough to get the day going, when you already hurt!

[Stormdancer]

Yeah, I'm considering a recliner as well.

Will she sleep NEXT to the bed?

[Stormdancer]

Sorry you're having back pains first thing in the morning! It's so tough to get the day going, when you already hurt!Yeah, and it sounds like quite a LOT of pain. :(

[yirabeth]

Nope...she's a sneaky one, getting into the bed and taking over is her entire goal in life.... :D She DOES have a comfy bed in her crate...she's just not been using it. She's gonna have to use it again I think....

Recliners are pretty awesome. I may have to get one when I get around to regetting furniture hehe

[Stormdancer]

BUT...I think Libby's gonna have to sleep elsewhere :( Unless I can somehow get her to NOT sleep so close...Hey, maybe divide your bed with a long pillow or something, and tell her, "That is YOUR side."

[yirabeth]

LOL! That would be so funny... :D

But yeah..I've had troubles with my back for years, really I'm used to it. I just don't like taking medicine every day...that's a bit scary. Plus the whole ulcer thing...which has me eating first thing in the morning with the motrin, which has me NOT losing weight... :D

But really I'm okay, it's just Libby's gonna be a wee bit mad at me.

[Rhinemaiden]

>>>>>-------:) morning, all! :D how's everyone doing?

G'Morning Rhinemaiden! How are the tropics this morning?

I'm snapping green beans, and thinking about going to the laundrymat in an hour or so(when the sky should be lightening up a bit).

[yirabeth]

Ooh, sounds yummy Blue..what are you gonna make with the green beans? Or are you canning them?

[kaleanna]

*contemplating breakfast, since I didn't eat supper last nite. * but would rather just go back to bed, but know that isn't going to happen.

[yirabeth]

Huh, that's a point Kaleanna...what I should do is set the alarm for a couple hours before I get up, take meds then, go back to sleep...

Okay you didn't say, but reading about wanting to go back to bed made me think it :P

[kaleanna]

I got some red skin potatoes at Jim's, so I'm going to cook them with the green beans, a little bit of salt pork, then top it off with a touch of fresh chives and butter. I've got a ribeye(on the grill) to go with it.

[yirabeth]

If you're taking ibuprofen(motrin) you need something on your stomach when you take it. You could have stomach problems(bleeding) if you don't.

[Rhinemaiden]

hello lovlies... storm, yira, blue, kale.....

sounds like everyone's having a pleasant sunday am.... I made a big breakfast... BACON }), eggs, rye toast, cranberry juice... did I mention BACON??? }) ate it while watching CBS Sunday morning... my weekly dose of culture...

it's warm here... upper 80's, not much breeze, but the fans are going...

did I tell you all I have a green pepper growing? tossed some seeds from a pepper I was putting in a salad into a pot... voila! they sprouted, blossomed, and I have one little green pepper -- about the size of a quail egg right now... I'm amazed. :)

[yirabeth]

Yeah, see, I think that's why I started having troubles while I was in school, because I'd take it when I had to and I can't really remember if I ever made a point of eating at the time... :rolleyes:

I figured I could take it with a glass of milk though hehe

[Stormdancer]

*contemplating breakfast, since I didn't eat supper last nite. * but would rather just go back to bed, but know that isn't going to happen.Keep putting one foot in front of the other, Kaleanna. You need to take care of yourself, so that you can take care of the kids.

[Jesii]

G'morning Jesii :) I'm glad you're renewed too! ♥

I have bone spurs on my upper thoracic spine. I remember a doctor saying something about surgery once and I was like, "NO WAY!!!!!"

When it digs in, it feels like I am laying on a marble. I can't imagine how much worse it would be in the lower spine! That part gets more "action" I think in the general scheme of the spine.

Hope you get some relief soon.

[yirabeth]

Tempting. Jack's going to his grandparents this afternoon....... *grabs phone* :D

The way I see it, once they start operating on your back it's all over...in time you're in a wheelchair unable to move...I've NEVER seen any back operations that had GOOD endings. I'm sooo NOT GOING THERE! I'll deal with pain, thanks, and be damn grateful I have it! Could be worse.

Oh, those are different looking, aren't they?

[yirabeth]

Why did I not know about these? I'm deprived I tell you!! It's CRIMINAL!!! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-sad010.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

[Rhinemaiden]

Yeah, not so much with the ready-made potato salad, but I like lots of mustard and olives in mine so I'm kind of weird anyway.

I like mustard, too... and a splash of vinegar... never tried olives... black olives??? that would be tasty...

[BlueDragonfly]

If I leave RIGHT now, I'll be there is about 18 hours.... save me some? :laugh:

Sure sweetie! :D

[BlueDragonfly]

Black or green, and a handful of fresh chives, too.

Right! All I need now is the transport to the airport, the money for the ticket, and to know where the hell i am going when I get off the other end! When I win the lottery, I am gonna spend ALL the money getting us all together, to talk tarot, drink coffee, eat snacks and swap recipies!

Hey, I'm experienced at this part -- comes from having a British ex-bf. Fly into Detroit and I'll be waiting at the other end! Blue lives on the way to my house :)

Mmmm...the toast sounds good, I love cinnamon sugar toast!

[Wendywu]

I have never had an Egg McMuffin either. Are they good? There is a MacDonalds in town but I have only been there once, when James was little. I didn't like the chips (fries) and the coffee was too hot so I didn't go back. But I like the sound of Egg McMuffin.

[cardlady22]

I like making the scrambled eggs with English muffins at home, but my tummy doesn't like any of the fast-food version breakfasts.

Wot - it's scrambled eggs with a muffin? I'd like that. I'll mention it 'cos I expect I'd like home-made best.

Breakfast? Coke? Thats gotta give you a sugar rush for the AM!

[cardlady22]

Wot - it's scrambled eggs with a muffin? I'd like that. I'll mention it 'cos I expect I'd like home-made best.And cheese, ham or bacon, etc.

I'd die without a good stock of Thomas' English muffins: pizza muffins, tuna & cheese, butter & jam, etc. It's just the perfect staple!

[Stormdancer]

Wot - it's scrambled eggs with a muffin? I'd like that. I'll mention it 'cos I expect I'd like home-made best.These eggs aren't scrambled. I'm pretty sure they're some kind of pre-cooked thing...kind fried over well, with american cheese & ham on an english muffin. I dip mine in mustard :D

DD & boyfriend have been at her room. 4 bags of trash and another one for donation. I can see the carpeting! And the closet on that side is cleared out so we can put stuff to be moved in there...Wah HOO!!! :party:

[Stormdancer]

Breakfast? Coke? Thats gotta give you a sugar rush for the AM!LOL...seems there are a few here who do that.

G'Morning TCO~~~

How's tricks?

[cardlady22]

These eggs aren't scrambled. I'm pretty sure they're some kind of pre-cooked thing...kind fried over well, with american cheese & ham on an english muffin. I dip mine in mustard :D I imagine the factory with some odd multi-circle pan that the eggs get dropped down on/in to cook super-fast. Then they get dumped over and flash-frozen to be shipped to the store. yuck ~ I'd much rather scramble my own. :grin:

Good, had a full 10 hours sleep last night :) have to clean house top to bottom today, hopefully run, hit the gym and if time mow the front grass... then work... what a pattern!

[PathWalker]

I've thrown Jes off the computer for a bit so I can log on - hello!

Been a nice autumn tinged day here - we walked to a local ruin, with a flask of good coffee and a couple of bisciuts, enjoyed the view, threw sticks for the dog, that kind of thing.
I've done some tidying in the garden (shame it never happens in the house), and am being idle for a few minutes.

McDonalds - don't get me started - have never eaten in one, and wouldn't.

Home made sounds good, I'd have to go for scrambled not fried (don't like 'e) but not sure what to use instead of meat? Hmmm....

How's everyone else's day?
x

[yirabeth]

Yeah, I think the ones on biscuits are scrambled, the ones on English Muffins are just hard fried eggs cooked in a round shape to fit the muffin..LOL

At home I make em all over hard, with american cheese and ham, whether I use a muffin or a biscuit (think savory scone).

[PathWalker]

"...savoury scone..."

In what way savoury? We do cheese scones here - what kind of thing are yours flavoured with - sounds good?

[cardlady22]

McDonalds - don't get me started - have never eaten in one, and wouldn't.

Home made sounds good, I'd have to go for scrambled not fried (don't like 'e) but not sure what to use instead of meat? Hmmm....What about a customized white sauce gravy? You could add a touch of soup seasonings, etc.

[Rhinemaiden]

I have 2 sugar apples... would gladly share one with you, but by the time it got to you.... it's the thought that counts, n'est ce pas? ;)

egg mcmuffin... for those not in the know (I love them myself)

"...savoury scone..."

In what way savoury? We do cheese scones here - what kind of thing are yours flavoured with - sounds good?

Well, yeah, that sort...anyway the scones I had over there were kinda sweet, and I think that would not really work with it (although I could be wrong! The whole sweet and savory mix being quite popular....) I was just thinking, like a scone without a lot of sugar involved :D

A cheese scone sounds like it would be pretty good with egg ham and cheese in the middle... :P

[yirabeth]

Home made sounds good, I'd have to go for scrambled not fried (don't like 'e) but not sure what to use instead of meat? Hmmm....

If I don't have meat and I want an egg biscuit I just do it without the meat..maybe add another slice of cheese on the OTHER side of the egg... :D

Your cheese biscuits actually sound like they'd be PERFECT with this ♥

[PathWalker]

What about a customized white sauce gravy? You could add a touch of soup seasonings, etc.

I don't think I'd go for anything runny - I can't bear mayonaie, or slad cream, or ketchup, stuff like that. I didn't even eat gravy as a child, although I learnt to like it with roast meats as an adult.

Maybe something tangy, watercress, or chopped sun dried tomatoes?
Making me feel hungry anyway, and not dinner time here :(

Oh, Well, duh! No, I got that phrase from one of my clients(maybe she was referencing it)....she made the comment of me being a "Woman of a certain age" as in....I don't act my age(as old as my years indicate). I told her I didn't feel my "age"! I always smile when I think of her(she was 92).

I got distracted -

Have heard of them and heard they were yummy. Haven't found any around here!

[Stormdancer]

I got distracted -

I am hoping we can find some. I find the idea of custard and apple - actually growing as custard flavoured gooey appley stuff - irresistible!!

[Laura Borealis]

cheese scones:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/cheesescones_1287

That looks just like our (U.S.) biscuits, yes. The basic form is without cheese, though. Often they're made with buttermilk. And served with sausage gravy with a side of sausage. Heart attack on a plate!

[Wendywu]

I couldn't eat it, but I love the idea :).

[Stormdancer]

I am hoping we can find some. I find the idea of custard and apple - actually growing as custard flavoured gooey appley stuff - irresistible!!Tell ya what. YOU try it, and let me know. That stuff in the middle looks...er...odd. :bugeyed:

**taking a quick break** All closets are cleared-ish. I don't normally pack the hanging stuff unless I have a REALLY big box.

You're doing really great Stormy! At this rate you'll be moved before you know it :)


If himself finds me a custard apple - I'll eat it! And report back :)

[Stormdancer]

Thanks guys... :*

I'm taking a break and doing laundry...lol. The next step is to get the donations out onto the outside landing. I bought a tarp to cover until they pick up on the 22nd. That should give us room to pack.

Dr pepper tastes like nectar from the Gods right now...lol

[yirabeth]

Hey all :) Congrats on how well packing is going, Stormy!

I'm just waiting for the ex-inlaws to pick up the kid so I can go away myself...LOL Feels weird (but nice!) to do something without the kid. I figure I need to practice because sooner or later the kid is gonna move out....right?? :D

[Stormdancer]

So, where are you going? Does it involve food?...lol

[yirabeth]

Yeah, it involves food...which Blue described this morning :D I'm adding a bottle of wine and garlic bread fixings, and we'll talk Tarot and eat good food and drink wine! (although I'll stick to one glass because I have to come back home hehe)

[Stormdancer]

Oh...yay!!! I was hoping that was your plan. have fun!! Ok, laundry is done....bye

[yirabeth]

See you Stormy!

ETA - and now I'm off too, see you all later!

[Stormdancer]

I wonder how long it takes her to get there...

[Chiska]

Packing packing packing....

So, if you get done, you can come to San Francisco???

:D

I am trying to decide which deck (or decks) I should take with me (in addition to my big Thoth, of course).

[Stormdancer]

Lol...no Sweets...not happening this year and I'm sorely disappointed. But you are gonna have so much fun meeting AT peeps and others too. It's very liberating! I've not been the same since the readers studios....

Oh....that may not be a good thing...lol...jk, it's changed me in so many positive ways, and I look forward to the SF one.

[Stormdancer]

LOL...I keep taking breaks and no one is around. As is common for me, the "Packing" has turned into a HUGE mess. I have crap ALL over the place, but ya know what? It's ORGANIZED piles of crap, sans MASSIVE amounts of paper. :bugeyed:

Most of the stuff to be tossed has been tossed or donated. I REALLY need to get those "donations" out to the landing though, and I need Midked help with that. Things are moving, my friends.

Didja HEAR that RHINE??? Someone PLEASE make sure she sees this post...LOL (((Rhine))):love:

Company was alright... not what I was expecting... but You've never met the person really face to face, so what can you expect?

But... a bunch of stuff has come up that I'm really, REALLY questioning... and it's just draining. Glad to be back here though. Missed y'all like crazy.

haha, you're right. I feel like I've been in Hang Man position for ever... I need either a Fool or Tower moment to shake things up (yes I am wishing a Tower moment upon myself. As long as I come out if it with an actual UNDERSTANDING of what's happening to me right now :S )

Refusal... refusal needs to leave. These new "guests" (not the ones from California) are here to stay for a while, and they need to teach me something. I'm not making this all up and I DO need this right now.

I have Dragons Blood, Frankincense, Sage, Sweet Grass, and Some "Frankincense and Myrrh" Incense sticks... what can I do with this?

[The crowned one]

Sage followed by Frankincense to clear your mind.

[Stormdancer]

How do you spike an already alcoholic drink? Funny Story, Mom thinks I'm the cheapest drunk in the world. I basically ate a whole bag of Green grapes to myself, and then seemed very "tipsy". Her word, not mine.

Blue- *hugs* thanks for having me back. It feels like coming home again. I have been writing it... I read through though and think that I'm going insane. Honestly, that is my biggest set back with this, is that part of me REFUSES to believe this is happening. So I end up in this circle, and we don't move forward.

[Stormdancer]

The wine in the fridge will need to be opened and enjoyed soon! :D

AH....a PLAN....yeahyeahyeah **nods wisely**

[Stormdancer]

So I end up in this circle, and we don't move forward.Hon, I have NO idea what's going on, but....

A "Circle" is a Wheel....it turns, so hang on. How come "We" need to move forward? Perhaps move on your own? And again, I have NO idea what's happening. I'm just sayin'.....

You're just kinda ALL over the Major Arcana, aren't ya? GEESH (((KD)))

[Kreative-Dragon]

Hon, I have NO idea what's going on, but....

You're just kinda ALL over the Major Arcana, aren't ya? GEESH (((KD)))

*ears down* sorry 0.0
And the circle is bad because we take one step forward, end up on square Three, and I say "Hey, this is Great, how cool is this, look how great I feel about this. But you're not real, so I'm talking to myself... BACK TO SQUARE ONE!!!" And we continue dancing around here never REALLY getting past that third square, and always ending back at square one.

And if I was to explain it, you'd all think I'm crazy.

[Stormdancer]

And if I was to explain it, you'd all think I'm crazy.
Well, then you fit right in here...LOL

All I get is your confusion and frustration....it's late... :*Kiss :* the crap gone for the night, relax, and rest.

....... I read through though and think that I'm going insane. Honestly, that is my biggest set back with this, is that part of me REFUSES to believe this is happening. So I end up in this circle, and we don't move forward.

Is there still more that you need to learn from this? Sometimes the Wheel/circle moves so slowly, or at such an angle, that it seems to be in retrograde(appearing to be moving backwards like Mercury, right now), give it some more time and thought. But like Stormy said, it may be time to step away from it, put it to bed for now, and come back with a fresh perspective.

[Kreative-Dragon]

Well, then you fit right in here...LOL

All I get is your confusion and frustration....it's late... :*Kiss :* the crap gone for the night, relax, and rest.

Who packs pillows????? GEEESH....

I have a way, and it works SO well that I don't need to label, well, I could not swear to which deck was in which box, but...I KNOW there be cards in that there box...LOL. I will know which shelf of books is in which box. **shrugs**

self restraint, I have none *nibbles on Giant Jawbreaker*

Watching The Fall, anyone seen it?

[kaleanna]

*stops in for a min*

Hope everyone has been having a good nite. I have been drawing while waiting for my lil one to go to sleep and then still drawing, surprised that some of them are actually turning out (surprised cause usually when really stressed, my creativity seems to dwindle some)

[Kreative-Dragon]

HI KALE, how you doing?

hehe, you can share my Extra, EXTRA large. Found my X-Men Bucket, which is a special release. Maybe they'll take that.

Good to know you're still going. Good to know you're still drawing.
we're all kind of stuck in limbo right now.

hiya Stormy,

Yeah I know, waiting for my pain med to kick in, I slept wrong on my shoulder last nite and it is still hurting a bit as well as my wrist, which is why I am not coloring in my drawings.

Just checking in to say good night!

Watched "Tangled" and cried at the end. :) I am getting soft in my old age.

Time for bed - gotta get up early and go to work! But on the bright side, I am going on vacation for a bit!

[Wendywu]

LOL...I keep taking breaks and no one is around. As is common for me, the "Packing" has turned into a HUGE mess. I have crap ALL over the place, but ya know what? It's ORGANIZED piles of crap, sans MASSIVE amounts of paper. :bugeyed:

Most of the stuff to be tossed has been tossed or donated. I REALLY need to get those "donations" out to the landing though, and I need Midked help with that. Things are moving, my friends.

Didja HEAR that RHINE??? Someone PLEASE make sure she sees this post...LOL (((Rhine))):love:

Just bumping this for RM to see :D

[Wendywu]

They brought my appointment to see the surgeon forward. Which means that Thursday might be the last time I ever see him, because I expect him to say goodbye to me. I think we're going to have to celebrate this.

I always promised myself a small celebratory tattoo when "all this is over". Well - it's damn near over, and it's time to think about what I'd like where, and is it actually safe for diabetics to get tatts? Don't see why not, but I'd like to be certain before I do something that turns out to have been stupid in hindsight.

[Wendywu]

Today's brekkie frittata is butternut squash, chorizo (tiny amount) and (I think) feta cheese (cheese of some sort anyway). Yummy!!

hey sweet jess...

Yeah, I'm still home at the moment. I go back to winchester on the 23rd August but university doesn't start untill the 23rd Spetember-ish! But I have the tango stall for freshers fair to organise, so need to be near the other members of the tango-commitiee!

How've you been?

that's right, you're the queen of the tango society!

I've been ab/fab... so far, knock on, hurricane season hasn't posed major problems, we did have one "blob" that we thought might turn into something, so all the boats at the marina were hauled and put on the hard, and I put up my hurricane shutters at home... only to take them down two days later... (shutters are aluminum... 9 panels... takes about 25 min to put up/take down, they slip into a track at the top, fasten with wing nuts at the bottom) but enough of THAT! it's been a wonderful summer...

this weekend I've been reading articles about Stuart Kaplan/US Games... who sounds like a a person I'd like to know... in an interview on the US Games site, he talks about encouraging his employees to "go for it".... here's a link:

I'm glad you haven't been hit by any 'blobs', I can imagine it's not your favourite thing, but glad your having a wonderful summer! PW and Mr PW re-arranged the garden yesterday, so now there are new places to sit, and new views! :D

Good Morning! I slept in! :D I also stayed later than usual.....;)

The moon is still visible on the western horizon, it's that clear out this morning! I think our hot summer nights are over, for this year.

Wendy, I don't think there are any higher concerns with getting a tattoo as long as you take the proper precautions in regard to infection, and bleeding isn't a particular issue for you. Any ideas about what you'd get? Or where?

[BlueDragonfly]

Oh! *hurries to the window and waves as RM flies off* Have a great day! :)

Good Morning Mellaenn! What's on your To Do list for today?

[PathWalker]

I logged Jes off to log on, hi everyone :)
Have just pinged my upper back, shifting things in cramped spaces (it's autumn cleaning, spring never gets to me, but autumn, oh yes) so now I'm sitting down with a coffee, and feeling slightly sorry for myself. But it's not awful really, a very old injury come back to say hello, it will run it's usual course, serves me right! LOL

Lovely day here - my to-do list a little curtailled, but maybe I'll do the paperwork things instead

[Mellaenn]

Good Morning Mellaenn! What's on your To Do list for today?

Oh - sorry - I was off on another part of the net doing a job hunt! I need to go to the gym and the library and tonight is a tarot circle meet-up. How about you?

Oh, and good morning, PathWalker! Thanks for the info about LUSH. :)

Morning everyone.


Tried to post last nite and kept getting timed out msgs, so I gave up for the evening and went to sleep.

[BlueDragonfly]

(((PW))) So sorry to hear about your back pain and I hope it'll ease soon, take care of yourself!
Paperwork......bah! I have some of my own that needs done this morning.

Aside from the paperwork, I've got my work schedule today, a few errands, they seem neverending at times, and I can think of 2 or 9 things I'd much rather be doing! And I know I have goodies at the post office! :rolleyes:

Sorry for the Dissapearing act last night :P Had the same problem as Kaleanna, but for my whole internet, finally got it up and running, checked my email on a whim, and realized that I had to work today. Been here for Two and a half hours already, and I kind of just want to keel over *rofl*

way too tired for my own good. That's what I get for not sleeping the night, and getting up at 5:00 AM
Oh, got 21 ways to read a Tarot Card yesterday, think I'm going to go play with that for a little while. No ones really here anyway.

It's just started raining and the radar forecasts scattered thunderstorms all day.
*blows raspberries while crossing my eyes*

I'll check back in later.

[Wendywu]

I'm horrified. I'm being drawn to think about TdM ...... :bugeyed:

Specifically - the Noblet, and Enrique Enriquez (whose pdf thingy I bought ages ago).

Someone save me. I don't want to study any more at the moment. I'm busy, dagnabbit!

Also, I haven't finished studying Ironwing yet, and she's still got me by the throat. So if this Noblet feels right, there must be an Ironwing reason for it. I just don't know what it is yet. Gonna wait and find out....

[Kreative-Dragon]

CURSE YOU INTERNET!!!

Had a responce written out, hit send, and my internet crashed. The rage here is palpable -.-

ANYWAY, was saying that I'm TRYING to read this in a linear fashion, but I am much to ADD for that at the mom- GUYS LOOK, A NPH UNICORN (http://static.moviefanatic.com/images/gallery/neil-patrick-harris-rides.jpg)

Ironwing wants you to study TdM for a little while, so it can then go "see, look how much more awesome I am! Much, MUCH better to play with" *ruffles feathers*

yup *nods* coffee is kicking in, finally.

If your net is unreliable atm, write in Word or Notepad or something, then c&p. If net faileth - still have writings ..... :)

Gosh that's betterer! I was famished :bugeyed:. Himself, a casserole, mashed spuds and broccoli to the rescue and now I am all comfy again. Chopped fruit on its way as we speak (today is melon, nectarine, satsuma and strawberries).


Rowing went well, and I have had a good day all things considered.

I ate breakfast today. I had a bowl of cereal and a cup of smoothie. I have been starving since that food hit my stomach. What is WRONG with me 0.o

Nice to know you are feeling well and comfy. It's national Relaxation day today. I think it should be International. And a legit holiday.

Oh yes - definitely a holiday! Although I've already been to work, so maybe I'm a bit late for the holiday part of it. But relaxing I can do really, really well :)

[Mellaenn]

Well, wish me luck. I'm going to take a tour of my closet to see if any of my office clothes still fit me for the interview tomorrow night. If not, it's off to the mall with me!

Except for book shopping, that's always amazing.

PS - made it to the gym (in my "fat" workout pants...bleh) and now having a salad for lunch. Trying to start my week all over again (and balance out the MacDonald's cheeseburger, fries, and McFlurry that I had for dinner last night, which I do only once every 2 or 3 years!)

I know, Not a fan of McDonalds. But every once in a while that Fry and McFlurry call so loudly and sweetly I cannot stop myself. And then I go home and weep for a couple of hours XP

:thumbsup: Re: shopping for books.

I actually like shopping but not when I'm so broke. :( And to buy a new outfit that I may not be able to use if I don't get the job.

On the plus side this is the absolute BEST time of year to shop for clothes in Florida. All the summer stuff is 80% off and we can wear that almost all year.

[Wendywu]

Oooh - hope you either have or find the ideal outfit. You'll feel so sassy if you think you're looking good :)

On the long list of foods I have never eaten - include McFlurry.... what is it, is it sweet or could I eat?

[Kreative-Dragon]

haha. I book shop even when I AM broke. Usually if I clean around the house enough and milk my brother all the moeny he owes me, I can spend a little bit of happy time on Kobobooks.com
No wonder I have no money saved for University :P

Lucky for the summer sale. Why do they even call it that? Do you guys ever dip below 10 Celcius?

[Kreative-Dragon]

Oooh - hope you either have or find the ideal outfit. You'll feel so sassy if you think you're looking good :)

On the long list of foods I have never eaten - include McFlurry.... what is it, is it sweet or could I eat?

It's frozen sugar and cream, not sure if you could handle it very well.

[Mellaenn]

Oooh - hope you either have or find the ideal outfit. You'll feel so sassy if you think you're looking good :) Yes, what I am wearing is very important. I wore a suit that was too tight once and I KNOW it blew the interview for me because I was so uncomfortable.

On the long list of foods I have never eaten - include McFlurry.... what is it, is it sweet or could I eat?

It's a sugary ice cream treat. You'd get a lot of system bells on that one!

[Mellaenn]

Lucky for the summer sale. Why do they even call it that? Do you guys ever dip below 10 Celcius?

Oh, yes, it gets pretty chilly here sometimes; that's when you read about the Florida orange juice crops freezing, etc. We even have sweaters and light-weight coats! But mostly it's either really hot and humid or fairly temperate. We do have lots of sunshine!

[Wendywu]

I suspect your chilly might be my nice spring day :).


I'll pass on the McFlurry! But it sounded good.....

[Kreative-Dragon]

I was going to say the same thing. We only call it winder when it's -20 celcius XP And it's only scary when it get's to -45 celcius without the windchill. Our buses froze one year, for the school route. They didn't tell us.

Oh, no! Were you standing outside waiting for a bus that never came?

[Kreative-Dragon]

Oh, no! Were you standing outside waiting for a bus that never came?

No, I was one of the lucky ones. My mom came in just as I was waking up and told me it was -45, do I want to go to school or not?

I have a CHOICE??? What do you THINK I'm picking. But my idjit of a bus buddy was at the stop in a sweater, waving his scarf around in the air when mom told him the news. Goof.

[Queen of Disks]

off to work now, bye!

[Kreative-Dragon]

See you *waves*

Just had lunch, feeling a little more perky. I also ate a bunch of Reeces Pieces :P

HUGE storm just rolled through. Praying for thunder.
Also, Should not have started Reading 21 ways to read a Tarot card, because now that's the ONLY thing I want to do right now 0.0 damn you work.

Maybe Ironwing just wants you to look at the pips? They added an interesting dimension. You have the full Ironwing, right? I don't know, the time you read for me, I "made" you use your Nigel Jackson Enchanted Medieval (or some such). :D

Or, maybe Ironwing is just messin' with you - checking out your ability to stay true and all that.

[Kreative-Dragon]

I think it's messing with her... simply because that's just a much more entertaining story.

[Wendywu]

Yeah - I shall stay all pure and faithful! But take a fresh look at the Ironwing pips using Enrique's method :D. Best of both worlds!!

Although Ironwing's pips are totally beautiful - moody minors, not just pips.

[Kreative-Dragon]

*storms in and grabs pillow, shoves it to face, and SCREAMS*

People piss me off to the point of sinful thoughts -.- be right back, going to go play some shooter game to release stress. Hopefully boss won't catch me.

I'm around. Wondering if I should resist the urge to go ahead and open a Tarot of Trees deck I got by accident. I had ordered the companion book. Guess I need to exercise self-control and wait for a reply to my email first. :P
But there were some color saturation differences . . . and this one might be richer/deeper than the one I have . . .

Things have been a bit weird this weekend. Also waiting to hear about some Playing Card Oracles ordering options.

[Kreative-Dragon]

Chickenfoot! Fantastic :D.

Son will get the DVD and I will steal it and copy it.....


I mean - supergroup or supergroup!!!!!

[Mellaenn]

Chickenwho? I am SO out of it...

Just lurking here a few minutes before I go to pick up my friend for Tarot Circle Meetup. It's trying to rain. Lately we get a lot of these long, thundery afternoons that spit a little rain and spike a little bolt of lightening here and there.

[cardlady22]

Here comes the thunder . . . bye!

[kaleanna]

Hey all,

wanted to ask if you all could send up prayers for the city of Poteet here in Texas. They are out of water just heard about it on the news. It is a small city near San Antonio. All of Texas needs rain, but really need the rain for the smaller cities like Poteet.

[kaleanna]

peeks in

Hi All,

I am here kinda. I am eating fajita tacos from taco cabana and watching Chef Ramsey :D

[cardlady22]

I have to run grab the pizza, but I'll be back soon.

[Chiska]

Ugh. What a day! So glad to be home. I am sore and got all sweaty at work. The HEAT was on in the building. :bugeyed:

It didn't help that I am still moving equipment around, either. I am covered with scratches and little scabs. I am current on tetanus immunization, so should be okay. There is lots of dust and dirt and grime. I washed my hands and lower arms constantly.

Hubby and I spent the late afternoon getting his resume PERFECT and getting all the RIGHT documents ready to go. Just waiting for the announcement so we can submit. We leave for my mum's early, early Wednesday morning.

Hope you all had less hectic days!

[Stormdancer]

Ugh. What a day! So glad to be home. I am sore and got all sweaty at work. The HEAT was on in the building. :bugeyed: That sounds just HORRID!!! (((Chiska)))
I am here kinda. I am eating fajita tacos from taco cabana and watching Chef Ramsey :DWell, I would LOVE to ditto this, BUT...I haz NO Frajita tacos :(

The rest IS a ditto....LOL

Been an odd day, but probably because I went in late. I am NOT packing ANYthing tonight. (Please don't tell Rhine :shhh: ) It's an addictive activity, and since there are no decks involved, I'm taking a break....at least physically. My mind is ALL OVER the place with what needs to be done, though.

[Stormdancer]

Kaleanna!!!! What did ya think of THAT elimination??? I was stunned.

Oh, and I got the iTonga set. HUGE!!! Like, REALLY HUGE!!!!

I'm trying to look through the cards, but I seem to be distracted....by a Scotch Chef...LOL })

[yirabeth]

Hey Chiska :) Will definitely be keeping your hubby in my thoughts -- He'll get it this time I know!

Been playing Diablo II the last couple days -- Stepson (or ex-stepson? I dunno what the relationship would be considered now....anyway....) and I were looking for some way to "hang out" that didn't cost money, and we settled on D2 because we all (Jack included) have a copy and the play is free.

I'd forgotten just how much I enjoyed that game...Ended up keeping the game up all day today, playing in between chores...hehe It's probably the first day I've enjoyed just for itself, on my own, in a very long time... I mean, sure I enjoyed things, like having Elaina, eating at a friend's, etc...but they were just moments in days I've not enjoyed overly much...

Today was awesome, all by itself and all on my own :)

[cardlady22]

Congrats on the Great Day, yira! It was long past due!

I've been befuddled today. I sat down with the Circle of Life tarot and I think I was too out of it to enjoy it.

Hello, Chiska & Stormy!

[yirabeth]

Silly that it was a game perhaps-- but in the long run I think it's just back to a more normal "me" and that's all good! :P

I hate when you look and it doesn't seem right...or it's confused...I felt that way about Wildwood last night...still not sure I'm brave enough to tackle it LOL (At least not for a 'main' reading deck....)

[yirabeth]

Hey Stormy, don't worry about a "night off" you still have time :D And regrouping now will make you go back at it better than ever tomorrow, sorta thing! :)

[Stormdancer]

Hey Stormy, don't worry about a "night off" you still have time :D And regrouping now will make you go back at it better than ever tomorrow, sorta thing! :)

!!! YOU !!! I haz a question. It's gonna sound SO stupid, but....let me just jump right in....LOL :rolleyes:

So, I have DSL through the phone lines. Right now it comes into the modem provided, to a router, and then to my computer. My question is.....There are phone line outlets in the kid's rooms. Can they just hook up an Wbox from the phone line? Or do they need a modem in between? Does that make sense????

[cardlady22]

We bought a wireless router to use our Wii for the Netflix, etc.
Handy with the iPhone and iPods too.

[yirabeth]

***IF*** it's like MY DSL was that came through the phone lines, it would need its own modem to make it a usable signal. (I use cable now, since I don't even have a house phone)

However, by putting the modem on your main line, then going from the modem to the router, there should be more than enough outlets for 4+ computers...(The "+" being wireless, I believe you said you have that...) I have 3 computers on my network that are wired, by running cat5 cables under the floors (In the basement - I think you may not have a basement though.) plus there's room for one more wired computer, and I've had up to 4 wireless being used at once. Not sure how many more wireless I could add...lots probably! LOL

The modem is responsible for changing an analog signal, such as our phone lines put out, into a digital signal the computers can understand...that's why it has to go through a modem regardless of where the actual computer is.

[BlueDragonfly]

Hi Honeyz, I'm Home! Had to work a little bit over tonight. The dryer in the laundry room, wasn't drying properly, so I had to stay and use a second cycle. So, I'll get to cut my visit tomorrow night short.

Yira! It sounds like you had a great day! You are allowed to enjoy whole days like that, ya know! :) And Stormy, you didn't quit when you said you were going to last night, did you? I agree with Yira about taking the evening off from packing, you're entitled!

*waves at everyone else*

[yirabeth]

Hi Blue, welcome home!


....I didn't want anyone to think I'm ungrateful for all you've done for me since...forever....hehe ♥ I just felt good that I was happy without any special efforts of all the people that love me... ♥♥

Xboc doesn't come "wireless", without "stuff" to make that work. Right now, we run a wire from the router to the xbox. I won't do cable internet. it goes out ALL the time, and I refuse to be without a land line. this has been HUGE and there was even a "Midkid instant lesson" in this thought...LOL.

Sorry for idiocy....still Chef-ing...LOL

[yirabeth]

Yes, you'd need a modem in midkid's room. Unless the stuff to make it wireless were cheaper overall, than another modem :)

Oh, I'm sure no one thinks that way at all. Being able to experience that kind of joy in a day/parts of a day, is something that we all strive for. Spending time(even in a game online) with loved ones is one way to find that joy! *shakes head* We've been there when you've gone through some awfully tough times, and yes, we hold each other up during those times, but to see/read that you had that kind of day is so heart-warming and wonderful! :heart:

[cardlady22]

I get to ask a question now! :P
Does having more than one router make your ISP give you 2 addresses or something? Does it raise your monthly rate?

[yirabeth]

I really don't know how an ISP would handle that...I would think not...they don't charge you per computer being operated, rather you are charged by the amount of bandwidth you use. Most give you a certain amount of traffic per month at a set speed, and that is divided between all computers you have on your network... You're not actually using MORE, you're just splitting what you're paying for into smaller bites, so to speak.

[Stormdancer]

Like I know...LOL


sigh

[BlueDragonfly]

*whistles a happy tune* I'm all befuzzled by this stuff, if it doesn't work, I call the cable company! So, I'm pretty useless at knowing how this all works...carry on....

:laugh:

[Chiska]

I get to ask a question now! :P

You don't really get your own IP address so much as you get a range of IP address to use after a connection is made between your router and your ISP. You would have to pay more for a static IP number. Right now, you get a dynamic IP number.

If you take the router you get from your ISP and hook it up to a multi port router, you are just dividing the bandwidth that you get from the ISP. The main router will deal with the ISP, the chained router will then divide and assign IP numbers to your PCs. These are not "real" IP numbers, but are from a set range of internal network numbers. THose using a router will have IP # numbers starting with 192... Your ISP comes into the house with something else...like mine starts with 68.xxx

I have some of the details fuzzy - it has been a long time. So long ago that they changed the whole OSI model on me. And when I did this "Blue Tooth" had just been named "Blue Tooth" and we were still trying to decide what its protocol number was! Yes, we are preparing for insertion into the Token Ring..... (if that gives you an idea...)

My thing is that if you are using a wireless router - ensure that it connects based on MAC address. Mine, when I have it hooked up, will only accept my MacBook and my HP. Any other connection will be rejected. The MAC address is a unique hardware address assigned to a network card.

[Stormdancer]

:laugh:

But but but....they don't know CRAP!!! ok, I'm talking the DSL rather than cable, but I had a HUGE issue....SMURFS.....I had to research it, call on a now defunct tech forum, and armed with what "I" knew...challenge.

What's so scary....what do peeps do who can't do what I did??? Just suffer forever?

[BlueDragonfly]

They may not know crap, but I pay a maintenance fee for them to come and fix it for free! I'm not even sure what they have(if at all) around here in the way of DSL connections and speeds, etc.

So, I made some really yummy coffee creamer yesterday. I used evaporated milk(about 4 oz), a teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons of sugar, shook it up and stuck it in the fridge. I'm drinking my last sips of coffee with my new concoction! Not bad, not bad at all!

Yes, I was being all creative in the kitchen, yesterday.

[yirabeth]

Pretty much Stormy..it's the high-tech version of the car mechanic that pads your bill because they CAN, since you don't have a clue what the HE** they're talking about....

That sounds really good!!! What a great idea - I shall have to give it a try.

(I think that DSL is cool - I mean, it is a cool technology...I prefer cable now that I live out in the boonies...)

[BlueDragonfly]

Oh, Chiska! Before I forget.....best wishes on hubby's new application process! :D

emmsma says to say hello, love you all - but she's taking a bit of a break. Hope she gets a bit of relaxation.

Good night everybody!

I'm up, hayfever makes my nose feel like a cement mixer got emptied into it overnight :(

Still waiting for the meds to kick in. Heh - they probably won't, and I get to sniff annoyingly all day!!

I also had a wonderful day yesterday - must be something spreading through the train!


Also, for those who missed it first time round, may I just shout very loudly CHICKENFOOT

[Jesii]

Hello all 8waves* In the local library, having bought my Dad's birthday present, and considering where I'll get lunch, and pondering library-book selections.. :D

[BlueDragonfly]

Hi Jesii! What're are you looking at? I always manage to find more than I came for, when I'm at the library!

[Jesii]

Hi Jesii! What're are you looking at? I always manage to find more than I came for, when I'm at the library!

Hiya Blue! Some Japanese cook books (they didn't have the one I originally wanted) and something to read, possibly the last two books in a very longs children's series I like, and own all but the last two, plus anything that catches my eye!

[Jesii]

Off to look at books... bye all

[BlueDragonfly]

Yes - the double edged axe from the 10 of blades - see:

[Stormdancer]

Yes - the double edged axe from the 10 of blades - see:Oh Yeah!! That's good! Where will it be?

[Wendywu]

It's because this is an axe you have to grasp very carefully and precisely and, if you do, then it will defend you and teach you. You could, if not careful, be severely damaged .....

The claws can rend you, but excise damage - not all pain is bad. Some has a valid reason. Pain is a teacher.

And with it all - the wise owl. Who knows that the edged blade can be good and bad, that pain can be good, that caution is always necessary in handling anything that can hurt. And I remember that words can be bladed weapons too .....

And the 10 of Blades to teach me that even if things look as black as possible - they aren't really .... there is always a way through :)

[Wendywu]

Inside right wrist. My dominant hand. The one I would use to hold an axe, and the one that I hold things out in, and receive things in.....

I shall print the image at the size I'd like it to be as a tattoo, and then Luke (the guy who did my other tatts) will be able to draw it onto transfer film and put it onto me. I have checked that it's OK what with the medical bits and as long as I tell him, watch the blood sugars while he's doing it, and take very good care of it afterwards I should be fine :).

Waving as I wander through, with a HallowQuest meditation to type up and post. Think I'm going to need a decent cup of something to help me with that.
Hope everyone is now having a good day? No more whining? :)

Do you ever find you were so hurried to try and get the meditation down on paper before you forget stuff, that then you can't read what you put?
Any suggestions?

back in a bit (but still here, if you know what I mean) .........

Hey, when you come back can you post a link to the Hallowquest study thread? I could not find it. How hard can it be???

Yep - I have a little voice recorder thingy - it's just a USB with a wee microphone attached to it. It'll record for about an hour. Then I can play it back to myself and type it up. Although tbh it's quicker to type because I still haven't really fathomed out what the little buttons on the recorder are for.....

[Chiska]

Good Morning Stormy!! The packing seems to be going on full steam ahead, doesn't it!

Poor Wendy! We are suffering with the sniffles here, too. My nose is uncomfortable and I am sniffing and sneezing. I hope you feel better soon.

PathWalker - always a pleasure to see you here. I have been following the arthurian / hallowquest study thread, but not participating. At least, not yet.

I better go get my breakfast together and get out the door. Tomorrow morning we leave for my mum's and it will be a nice break.

Take care, everybody!

Hello hello mATes, how are we in here?

Halloween is bugging me... and I'm contimplating throwing my Hot Chocolate at him, but that would be SUCH a waste :(
Maybe I'll just throw pens at him

Going to have to get one of those USB recorders for school. I'm very, VERY bad at taking notes while listening to a lectur, so I need it for University.

Been open for half an hour, and there is NO ONE HERE!!!

[Wendywu]

Is Halloween the gym cat? Or the resident ghost maybe?

I want the Fushchia one that's blue and waving :). I like that bear best!

But I think Walter and Creme Puff would be upset. Walter is 52 now and a bit touchy, whilst Creme Puff is a baby of 19. Wouldn't want to make them feel jealous at all ....

I have a blast watching the kids change their minds a million times. They'll pick a set, then talk about what would help them play a certain thing/theme & try to talk each other into switching around. My little Dealmakers. At the moment they are looking into "wedding clothes" for their respective bears. And of course, the Cool Duds.

Well I can tell you Old Bear is the "young age" of 18.5 and I brought Luke Wolfwalker home and he's been fine with that :P I took Mom and Taylor to that Sale, and we all got Jedi Bear/Monkey/Wolf. It was a good day. James and Taylor still owe me though :P

Hal just said it's silly that a Girl with my age and intellectual level still sleeps with a teddy bear or Twenty. I told him it's silly that a Girl with my age and intellectual level still has "Imaginary" friends.

Now look, Harvey's are pookas - not imaginary at all!

I don't sleep with Walter or Creme Puff any more. Walter is delicate now - his coverings are worn soooo thin his straw is coming out and he has had to be patched here and there and have bits sewn back on. He is wrapped lovingly in a cosy towel with his head peeping out so he can see what's going on, and Creme Puff sits beside him. They are on a sheepskin rug on the floor of the tarot room which is a dog-free zone.

The dogs sleep on our bed at night - it's a bit too crowded to try and add bears in as well :bugeyed:

[cardlady22]

We have a Jedi black bear and an Autumn Leaf Pumpkin Fairy bear. :laugh:

Tons of small Neopets and Webkinz. I talk to all of them, even the ones that aren't mine. DD will hold one up in the store and make me get to know it, in hopes that I will be unable to leave him/her on the shelf. :P

[PathWalker]

We are English Eccentrics - we have many, many bears!

Only five of them get to sleep in the bed, one small on his side, one at a time on my side - yes they do have a rota!

What can I say :D

ETA - by 'many many' I mean ther are probably 50+ in the house - there are knitting bears, tv watching bears, car bear, taking for a day out bears, and then just hanging about singing bears!
All eat honey sandwiches, except those that eat marmalde.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Kale, feeling better? We all seemed kind of off yesterday. Monday blues :S

[PathWalker]

Hi Kaleanna :)

[Kreative-Dragon]

uh oh. Cat's out of the bag. All the staff except for my boss knows that I'll be quitting soon. Guess I better tell her today before sh*t hits the fan. Oh well... maybe I can tell her tomorrow.

[kaleanna]

Hiya KD,

Not really but hanging in there :)

[Wendywu]

Best make sure it's you that tells her. Goes down real bad if they find out from someone else - like an eager beaver tattle tale type......

[Kreative-Dragon]

Hiya KD,

Not really but hanging in there :)

{{{{{Kaleanna}}}}} Uber vibes and prayers for you m'dear.

[kaleanna]

I see ya'll were talking about stuffed animals, well I have several of varying sizes and animals. some sit on the top of the back of the couch, some along my headboard, and the list goes on. I have a few build-a-bear type ones, I have some ty, some neopets, etc.

[cardlady22]

Hello, kaleanna! When does school start back out your way? Some of the private schools here started on Monday; public goes back on the 22nd.

[kaleanna]

I agree with Wendy!

It's not that I'm leaving for a bad reason. Hell now that Ex boss left, I love it here. But you don't turn down a full time Job as a CDF at one of the best schools in the City. That's called stupidity, and I would like to think I stay away from that.
She's in at 10:00, about an hour away. I guess I'll try and talk to her as soon as she gets in. Was hoping I could push this off for a while....

No problem dear, you deserve.

Hello, kaleanna! When does school start back out your way? Some of the private schools here started on Monday; public goes back on the 22nd.
We "start" on the First. But my poor sister has to go back on the 29th for pictures, the 30th for Sheduale, and the 31st for homeroom and locker set up. An hour each day. Thank the Heavens I wen't to a small High school, and am OUT of it XP

[Kreative-Dragon]

Fall asleep for half an hour and someone killed the forum! Oh noes!!!!

Hiya cardlady hun,

I believe it is the 22nd here too.

[Kreative-Dragon]

So, had the meeting with Boss. She seems sad about it, but was pretending to be upbeat. Letter will be handed in tomorrow.

I can't believe this is happening 0.o

[Wendywu]

That was brave KD - but the right thing to do :). Makes it all seem a bit real, huh?

[Kreative-Dragon]

u hu *nods head with wide eyes* I am going to be working full time as a CDF in a class with special needs kids. My position and how long I hold it depends on this womans health, and I can lose it almost instantly... 0.0

I'M TOO YOUNG FOR THIS!!! Why me?

[Wendywu]

Heh - learning curve? Learning to live on a knife edge? Lookit me balance on the precipice and whether I fall has nothing to do with me ...... - definitely a curve!

Possibly the biggest Fool moment since birth -.- I am going into a position that requires 3 years of schooling, and Lynn (new boss... kind of. Mom is my actual boss, but Lynn is her boss) Just keeps saying "Dearies you'll be FFFIIIINNNNEEE. You have more hands on experience than anyone here, you'll be perfect."
I'm glad theres someone who's got faith in me, 'cause I sure don't XP
At the same time, Heather says it just shows how much I've grown and changed and "healed" the last couple of years, because I at least have the self confidence to say yes.
hehe...*nervous twitch 'n twitter* he he

[Wendywu]

Give it a go - and give it six months before you decide whether it's awful or you love it. It's your Monty Python moment - now for something completely different :D.

oh the shame. I have never seen any of the Monty Python movies *weeps*
I've seen some episodes of Faulty Towers if that makes up for a bit of my folly

[Wendywu]

I loved the TV series of Monty Python :). I have an 11 foot python skin running round the door of the tarot room (it's a very, very old skin - I bought it and renovated it) - I call it ... wait for it ....... Monty the Python :D:D:D:D

Trying to get my Fool done for a Journal piece. Having fun getting the bases, but I'm going to have to do a lot of manip when I get home.

[Wendywu]

Yeah but if you've done the work, the rest is just playing :)

[Kreative-Dragon]

Yeah but if you've done the work, the rest is just playing :)

I'm so excited to be getting it planned out >.< wish I could work on it now, but I have to "work" so I plan and collect now, and manip at home.
Can't find my Fool though >: ( everything else is coming along great, but Andi is eluding me

RAGERAGERAGE!!!

You don't need luck, just let "you" shine through! :)

[cardlady22]

Oh, I've missed sending the good vibes for Mellaenn. We swapped days & went to Build A Bear today.

[Kreative-Dragon]

Good news on the Tarot front... I think. Took bro to the card/gaming store today, and while he was yelling at his friends about which Yu-gi-whazzit card was better, I pulled out one of my decks and tried to play a mock game of Tarrochi. The owner of the store asked what I was doing, so I gave him the low down, and he seemed impressed.

Impressed enough that he has asked that I come in and teach it to the regulars there. See, this place not only sells stuff, but also has a huge section dedicated to letting people come in and play Magic, Warhammer, D&D, etc. He says for the first month, I get unlimited Icecream and a pack of cards every week. If it catches on, he'll offer me a job there. We're thinking of doing it every Sunday, since that's actually his busiest day.

Cool and all... but I still barely know how to play 0.0
oops

[cardlady22]

Way to go, K-D! Our local store would never have gone for the tarot/tarocchi.
It closed down too. *sniff sniff*

'Ellooooo~~~~

Just now home and waiting for THE Chef })

I hope Mel reports back!

(((to all who need them)))

[Kreative-Dragon]

nervous about it. We gotta be careful in this neighborhood. Half of them won't care. The other half might try and trow me in the fire 0.0

Ah well, we'll see what happens Sunday. Under 18 need a permission slip, just to play it safe.

[Kreative-Dragon]

QUESTION!!! Just to keep me busy and going.

I am journaling right now, and had the brilliant Idea of doing a piece called "Enjoying the Tickle and Giggle of Stormy's mind."
First off, Storm would you be cool with that? Second... any one else want their own themed Journal entry?

[kaleanna]

Alright, off to watch Master Chef and see if I can get lil one to go to sleep.

First off, Storm would you be cool with that? Second... any one else want their own themed Journal entry?If it's a journal then it is private, right? Not anywhere on the web? Not posted here? Forever your OWN private journal to be shared with NO one at any time, EVER?

Make it so.

[Kreative-Dragon]

If it's a journal then it is private, right? Not anywhere on the web? Not posted here? Forever your OWN private journal to be shared with NO one at any time, EVER?

Make it so.

not really... It's like... Multi media art. Paint, Stamps, Photo's, ink, etc. I could share it with just you guys. But it was just going to be that quote and then random energy drawings

[Stormdancer]

If it's your own private journal on your own private computer or what have you, then fine, but NEVER to be shared. Else I want to not be in it.

NO. If it's your own private journal on your own private computer or what have you, then fine, but NEVER to be shared. Else I want to not be in it.

okay, no problem.

[Stormdancer]

A kinda sorta not commercial break for the Finale... **gasp**

When do bats fly?

(((KD))) I did not mean to be harsh, but my privacy is important to me. And that quote comes from somewhere, but I don't remember where. Maybe Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood?

Kaleanna? You haz $$ :D

MEL?????????????

[cardlady22]

I'm an idiot. I browsed the Storyworld card sets. It's a good thing I'm out of money.

Still no sign of the 2007 Tarot Reader despite it being shipped on the 8th. Hope it's not been lost in the mail.

[Stormdancer]

I'm an idiot. I browsed the Storyworld card sets. Oooh...I haz some of these })

Home for the evening, sipping on my fresh coffee with cinnamon cream.....http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-eatdrink026.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

I have before me 3, that's right, 3 new decks to be opened! They all came in one package from Amazon today! *is giddy*

[cardlady22]

What are they, Blue? ;)

*gives Stormy a pitiful, sad face look*

[yirabeth]

Hey all :) Was without internet most the day...dunno why. It's back now though :)

Blue, congrats on the decks!

[Mellaenn]

Honeys!!! I'm hoooome!

I think I did OK. Won't have to wait long; they're going to decide tonight and let us know tomorrow. Well, whoever gets the job will know right away. Then there may be a wait while they talk it over or think it over and then accept it (can you tell I was a recruiter before?) Then the rest of the applicants will be informed.

We shall see!!

Thanks for all the good vibes.

[Stormdancer]

Hey all :) Was without internet most the day...dunno why. It's back now though :)Well, that's just icky. It really bothers me that we have to pay even when it's not working!

*gives Stormy a pitiful, sad face look* :( They're packed....does that help?

[BlueDragonfly]

What are they, Blue? ;)
The Gaian Tarot(Llewellyn), Jamie Sams Medicine Cards, and that Bird Signs Oracle!

[yirabeth]

Well, that's just icky. It really bothers me that we have to pay even when it's not working!

It was okay though, I had Elaina today and we played. She was in a good-happy mood today...we "talked" on the phone and other silly things... :D

The Gaian Tarot(Llewellyn), Jamie Sams Medicine Cards, and that Bird Signs Oracle!

That's cool, I know how much you looked forward to the Gaian :)

[BlueDragonfly]

Hey all :) Was without internet most the day...dunno why. It's back now though :) Sorry you were without. It must have been very local, I had internet at client's on the east side.

Blue, congrats on the decks!
Thanks! New goodies to examine on your next visit! :D

[Stormdancer]

[Mellaenn]

Fun with Elaina beats the internet any day, Yira! :)

Blue, that sounds great. I saw the Gaian last year when i was at Readers Studio; it's a lovely deck.

Storm, I was wearing a black suit with very modest silver jewelry. No red, not even lipstick (I have never been able to abide putting wax on my lips.) :grin:

[Stormdancer]

Thanks! New goodies to examine on your next visit! :DYeah, that and the bottle of wine still in the fridge....LOL

On a sort of scary note, my little brother got admitted to the hospital this evening. He has blood clots in his lungs. The poor guy has that deep vein thrombosis in his leg veins that our mother had and a few pieces broke away and got into his lung.

We are all sending lots of love and prayer. He even said I could do Reiki (surprisingly enough, he's a bit of a typical midwestern maie on that kind of stuff at times.)

[Mellaenn]

Not even red underwear? Huh.....

Nope - but I should have worn blue, I forgot.

They are fun....LOL When I drink wine Jack is fond of drinking his soda or whatever out of a wine glass. I've offered to let him try (well it's not like he's going out and getting wasted....) but he's very alcohol-shy -- his stepmother is an alcoholic and a very mean drunk...

[Kreative-Dragon]

THERE'S A BIIIIGGG, A BIG HARD SUN, BEATING ON THE PEOPLE, IN THE BIG HHHAAARRDD WORLD.

No problems Stormy, I understand privacy. Accidentally wrote a friend of mine into a news paper article, only to recall the article when she informed me that she was in Witness Protective Services and could not be in pictures or written about. oops.

Uber Vibes and prayers to Mell and her Brother. Not a good thing to be weighing you down.

Tattoo's. i thought I was going to be the kid that got a Tat as soon as I turned 18. Alas no, I cannot get my ideas right, so we are waiting for the moment.

[Stormdancer]

I want a tattoo so bad I can practically taste it..it's very high on my TO DO list hehe♥I'm going out on a limb...FOX???

um...I drink my wine from an 8 oz juice glass...like what ya get orange juice in at a restaurant. I'm tacky, right?

BUT...I DO have silver plated goblets that we use at holidays for the non-alcoholic carbonated juice. The kids then burp.:rolleyes: I don't think they're gonna out grow this fun....***sigh***

OH, and KUDOs to you for the BOSS talk and your resignation. I WAS watching....LOL

SO.....

When do bats fly?????? No one answered me :(

[yirabeth]

I'm going out on a limb...FOX???

No, actually a phoenix...although if I handle THAT well, there's a possibility of a fox in the future...LOL The phoenix will happen no matter how much it hurts though. A necessity and all that...

Oh Crap :(

:D

[BlueDragonfly]

Oh Crap :(

:laugh: Geez, don't worry about it! That one wasn't so bad!

Well, I really have no problem with what anyone drinks out of(proper glasses and all that crap), I just think wineglasses can be so beautiful. I've got some pretty, small stemmed glasses, I'm not sure what they're for, they were the only wedding present that I saved.

[BlueDragonfly]

SO.....

Uhhh....whenever they want to? :D

Depends what species of bats you are talking about, the humidity, the insect population, and other basic factors. It is a complete myth that Bats only fly in the night. We accidentally maimed one biking around once. It flew into my chest, and it was 12 Noon

They're like "Insect seeking missiles"...LOL

[Kreative-Dragon]

Yeah....it was almost dusk-ish, but what "I" would think of as TOO light. NOthing flies like a bat though. They're like "Insect seeking missiles"...LOL

If you have high mosquito population, that might be when they're most active, as this is when Mosquitoes are most active. Mossies are an excellent food source, all full of Iron and protien. GREAT for growing bats.

[BlueDragonfly]

As much as I hate to admit this(summer is not over. yet!).....it may be the start of the migration cycle for some species of birds, especially those that travel continents to their winter/summer "homes". I know the hummingbirds are emptying 3 feeders over a two day period at one of my clients, storing up energy for the long trip south.

Autumn has started here. I picked up a newly "brown leaf" last week. The tide has turned here.

Fall is distant mirage down our way. Aug & Sep are the hottest/nastiest. Even when my crisp, cool weather arrives we won't have the color changes. But all the relatives up north snap pics for us! :grin:

So what did you think about the Finale Stormy????



((((((Stormy)))))) thank you soooo very much Hun!

[Stormdancer]

So what did you think about the Finale Stormy????!I was glad to see the arrogant dick out of it. Either one or the other deserved to win....I think it was really a toss up at the end. They were both fantastic, and SO very creative....

What are your thoughts?

[kaleanna]

I was glad to see the arrogant dick out of it. Either one or the other deserved to win....I think it was really a toss up at the end. They were both fantastic, and SO very creative....

What are your thoughts?

Me too. I was thrilled to see that Arrogant dick out of it and by the lady that he kept trash talking about, Was thrilled to see her take him down. Either of them could of and deserved to win, but with the technique on her quail I had a feeling that is what put her over the top.

What was HIS appetizer? I can't remember. I know SHE did scallops..."Perfectly seared"....what did Adrian have as an appetizer? It's probably bad that I don't remember....LOL

It was some kind of take on a Taquito using Hickama(sp?) as the tortilla, he did not have enough of the prawns in there to counterbalance the "brightness" of the other flavors.

Jicama, the j is pronounced as an h. They're good... nice and crisp.

What show is this?

[Wendywu]

Ack! Woke up for a wee, nose started running and couldn't get back to sleep.

Morning all :)

[Wendywu]

Yay - I have bought some Tom & Jerry DVD's - the Classic Collection, and a Looney Toons DVD. I figured I could have them running on a laptop while I row and listen to heavy metal music. Because the 50km row is gonna take a long time, and with the best will in the world 4/5 hours of just the music might be a bit much without visual distractions as well. But cartoons ..... yay!!!!

[Mellaenn]

Wendy - that is a very, very interesting juxtaposition of visual and audio input! You are such an inspiration...

So, woke up early this morning. It was storming and I had the two big things on my mind; how did I do in the job interview (did I get the job?) and how is my little brother doing in the hospital? He is the only boy in our family and the baby and even though we are all oldsters now, we big sisters are all a-flutter...

[Wendywu]

and have you heard anything about either??????

[Mellaenn]

and have you heard anything about either??????
I talked to my brother late last night; he was sounding rather weak. He sounded like a really old man and he's 11 years younger than me! It's only going on 7:00 a.m. here, so too early to hear about either of these, really...

And I might as well get myself to the gym in the meantime. Bleh...I know it will make me feel better, but I'm never in the mood to go into town to do this. Wonder if it will make a difference if I get a job? Then I can go the gym on the way to work some days. The work day doesn't start until 9:00 a.m.; plenty of time to go. I used to get there when I had to be at work at 7:30!

[Mellaenn]

OK - off to the gym to work off some anxiety! :)

[Wendywu]

I expect your brother is very shocked and frightened, as well as physically affected by the clots. Maybe his emotions are coming out in his voice?

Have fun at the gym :). I don't know if I'm rowing today - my cold has worsened but I needed to be at work because I am not in tomorrow, and couldn't afford to take two days off (from a work-will-stack-up point of view).

[Chiska]

Just a quick visit to wish everyone a great week!! I'll be at my mum's and she only has dial up - don't know if I'll be able to pop in.

Have a wonderful visit with your mum, Chiska!

Sorry you're still feeling all icky, Wendy. Maybe skip the rowing/or just a shortened version, and get some extra rest today.

G'Morning~~~

What's the scoop?

[BlueDragonfly]

G'Morning Stormy! It's been kind of quiet here this AM.

[Stormdancer]

G'Morning Stormy! It's been kind of quiet here this AM.That's good. I'm not awake yet. Had an odd dream. Landlord had cleaned out my apartment and put my stuff somewhere else in the house because he was gonna have a concert. I was a mad woman trying to find out where the decks were! LOL

[BlueDragonfly]

That's good. I'm not awake yet. Had an odd dream. Landlord had cleaned out my apartment and put my stuff somewhere else in the house because he was gonna have a concert. I was a mad woman trying to find out where the decks were! LOL

:bugeyed: Not know where your decks were? That's a nightmare, not an odd dream! I think it's just because you are so deep into the packing and stuff right now, your mind is running around in circles! :laugh: You're worried you'll forget something important.

The one box I finally found had kind of exploded the decks out...LOL! What's your schedule like today? I'm gonna need to start getting ready for work...eventually...:D

[BlueDragonfly]

I've got a couple things to do this morning, then work 12-4 and 7-8 tonight.
Supposed to go shopping with client, and if not, I may run to Walmart and stuff in-between clients.

Right now, I'm sitting here trimming my Arthurian and looking at associated books on Amazon.....not doing what I should be. :D

[BlueDragonfly]

The one I have has those black arches and I'm whacking off the outer white borders, I'll go look for a pic in the trimming index.....

eta-this is what they look like all trimmed, but my corner rounder isn't as big.

[BlueDragonfly]

Oh Yeah, they're gorgeous without the white border!

[Stormdancer]

I've got to get moving...I'll be back soon :*

[yirabeth]

G'morning all :) I haz internet this morning...LOL Which, I haz kidlet this morning too so I still won't be on much hehe

Got an email from the other computer teacher about another job -- again, temporary. It's a website redo, and on the barter system -- he's a stained glass artist. So might have some really funky stained glass art soon... then again, this isn't the first time this guy's asked for help, and there had been quite a bit of interest among fellow students, so I'm suspicious as to why *NOTHING* has been done with his site....maybe he's impossible to work with or something...

Anyway, I'm gonna give it a shot. It'll look good on the ol' resume hehe

[Kreative-Dragon]

*staggers in* last day of this for a while, then I can SLEEP properly.
I concour on odd dreams. We were running around halls of my old High school (The Four storey one, not Alti) because Ragers were chasing us, and then I ran into one... and we started talking about Physics, and how it didn't make sense that the disease could take complete control in 15 seconds.
And then there was Zebra riding Bacon Cowboys.

And then I did not sleep for the rest of the night -.-
Am at work, how are we here?

[yirabeth]

G'morning KD :)

[Kreative-Dragon]

G'morning KD :)

g'morning m'dear. I think you should definatly try and take the job. Even if he is nucking futs, think of the STAIN GLASS!!! 0.0

KD loves stain glass, she gets it from her mother.

[Kreative-Dragon]

:bugeyed: Pretty hard to sleep after that! LOL

I've had weirder/worse... but that one definatly made me sit there wondering whether I was terrified about the Rager (Zombies don't scare me, KV's don't scare me... Ragers leave me lying in bed shaking with fear, wtf o.0) or confuzed about the Virus Make up, or laughing at the Bacon cowboys.
Too many emotions, need sleep.

[Stormdancer]

OK...I'm off~~~

Great Daze :love:

[BlueDragonfly]

OK...I'm off~~~

Great Daze :love:

You too, Stormy!

Yira, it sounds like you may need a bit more info on the web redo/stained glass thing! If it works out, you'll have something beautiful as well as another line for your resume! Good luck with it!

[BlueDragonfly]

G'Morning, KD! You did have a rough night, didn't you?

[Kreative-Dragon]

okay, lets see if I remember how to do this

See ya Stormy :*

EDIT:thank you blue >.<

[Kreative-Dragon]

G'Morning, KD! You did have a rough night, didn't you?

Yeah, I'll deal though ;) I have a BIG favour to ask of you wonderful people. The Ranch I volunteer at is in this contest to win funding, and We need a BUNCH of votes. Can I ask for your support?

The ranch's website is www.dare2dreamhorserescue.ca
and the website to vote is Here (http://contests.citytv.com/icanachieve/story.aspx?sid=509)

[BlueDragonfly]

Okay, I voted! You didn't say there'd be math involved! :eek:

[Kreative-Dragon]

Oh NO!!! Not the MATH *writhes on floor in agony*

yeah, sorry :P thought that would scare you all off from voting.
But thank you so much for doing that. It means so much. This place is my complete Haven, and I can't think of better people to be helped.

[yirabeth]

I'm awaiting background check on the database job -- it's working with personal information of a lot of clients so that has to be done first :) And I figured I could do two jobs at once...since neither is a true "job" I can work them both "part time" hehe

[Stormdancer]

okay, lets see if I remember how to do this

See ya Stormy :*

EDIT:thank you blue >.<

Nice job! Re post that vote site tonight or direct me to it. I'll forget...

What a night (and morning) here too.

Part of my dream had AT completely reorganized. Rules were absolutely strict. The Pub thread had been moved to Chat/Subscriber only. :bugeyed:

We all had really bad nights last night... wonder why

[yirabeth]

G'morning Cardlady :)

[yirabeth]

Yeah, moving this to Chat would be a bad thing I think...:) But TCO said they considered and decided against it :) So we're safe!

[cardlady22]

Poor li'l Green Shirt Fella! Makes me want to scoop him up and pet him 'til he calms down.

I'm thinking it's partly the end-of-summer stuff. Everyone has new routines that are about to "come due" that will make us change a lot of our schedules.

ETA: Hello, yira!

haha, Yeah Sheldon. I love him to death :P it is an amazing show, mostly because of him But I always do that "NO, change is NEVER a good thing" quote all the time.

I can see that stress would probably be that thing. James had a screaming fit last night. Been a WHILE since he did that, so I guess we're all aware of the slow march back to winter.

[yirabeth]

G'morning TCO :)

THis has come up once or twice but we are safe.

WOOHOO *jumps around pup*
can ya tell I've had a mocha yet?
Good morning SIR!!! How are you doing? Long time no see.

[cardlady22]

I stayed up much too late pondering what versions of old-style Neopets I would use for my Playing Card Deck II. The first version was printed off on a b&w laser printer & sealed in business card lamination pouches. But the edges have peeled & been cut back to the quick.

This time around, I shall lay the pics out in a PDF document and have them printed out in full color.

[Kreative-Dragon]

Just a question TCO, what makes us safe?

Morning everyone


I has a full tummy :D. FIL bought breakfast tacos :D I had 2 bacon and egg tacos.


I also have gotten pics taken to post more, and I think My creativity (for the jewelry) is coming back cause I actually finished a dreamcatcher and made two other wire-wrapped pendants last nite :D

[cardlady22]

Hello, kaleanna! I'm going to have to take stock of my own jewelry supplies because a family member has a birthday on Monday. But, she makes her own too. I'm really at a loss this year. She hasn't mentioned wanting anything specific.

Hi Kale, pics of new creations on your Etsy?
I am torturing myself slowely right now. Going through the Websites list of tarot decks, lengthening my wishlist, which is starting to look a lot like a piece of rope now :P

[kaleanna]

Jicama, the j is pronounced as an h. They're good... nice and crisp.

What show is this?

Thanks Laura :D

It was MasterChef, it was the season finale :D

[Kreative-Dragon]

Oh my GAWSH!!! Too funny. Was trying to get a friend of mine into Tarot, since he's always bugging me for a reading, and I told him to get his own deck. The "problem is he's blind, and we've had many a squabbles over the subject and how he would actually do it.

But look what I just found
http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/braille-spanish/
This is PERFECT. When he gets his hands on this, he's going to die laughing XP

Hiya KD,

Not yet but soon as I get pics downloaded and stuff up on Etsy, I will post in the announcements in my thread that I started there :D

Hiya cardlady, *nods* it's always tough if they don't mention anything specific :/. But I have a feeling you will figure out something that she will love :)

[Kreative-Dragon]

Question about trimming and such... Can I use/is it advised to use scissors to get rid of the Borders? I have the Dragon Tarot, and ever since I saw it without borders, I've been in love. Alas I have no Trimmer or corner rounder. I just have uber scissors.

[yirabeth]

G'morning Kaleanna :)

KD, I've heard that most use scissors, and they recommend a big pair so you can take the sides off in one bite to prevent uneven edges :)

ETA - are you talking for corners? I think that may be problematic, if you're concerned with the deck being semi-even...hehe You may wish to wait to get a corner rounder. They're only like $5 at a craft store...

[cardlady22]

Pracownik's Dragon is absolutely the best to have as your first trimming project. Cut the top & bottom before the long sides. Go slowly and with a continuous snip. Think of a controlled exhalation.

[Kreative-Dragon]

I want to get the whole white border gone The actual card image is straight edges, and I might keep that.... I could at least get started on them.

[Kreative-Dragon]

Oh my, now that I have everything out and ready to go, I'm PARALYZED with fear. This is my Baby, I don't want to ruin my baby 0.0

[cardlady22]

It's like cutting hair- err on the side of longish because you can always snip a tad more.

[Kreative-Dragon]

Did it... one down, 77 more to go.

I might have a heart attack and die here XP

[cardlady22]

Imagine rose quartz and blue lace agate. Breathe, sweetheart!

I take short breaks after 10-12 cards. Flex my hands & fingers, etc.

[Kreative-Dragon]

y'know, once I realize I'm okay, and this isn't going to kill me, I'm going to become addicted, and no cards will be safe. I'll be snipping left right and center :P

[Kreative-Dragon]

so...
Two drums and a crash cymbol roll down a hill
Badum BUM
KKKSSSSSHHHHH

[cardlady22]

Sorry, it's lunch time around here. And I needed to visit the little girls room.

[Kreative-Dragon]

No problem. Boss is having stressfull day, and finally snapped at me to get to work :P like theres anything to do here. So the Tarot cards have been put away and I am now "cleaning and calling"

I get paid $10 to stand and do nothing, I'm NOT complaining.

[kaleanna]

finally got pics downloaded and cropped, now comes the fun part of all the listings ROFL inbetween refereeing the kids

[Queen of Disks]

hanging around before I go off to work.. How is everyone?

[cardlady22]

Hey there, QofD! Waiting for plans to come together . . . as usual. :laugh:

[Kreative-Dragon]

You know you're ppor when you think Buying a pack of Crayola Markers is too expensive :P What I wouldn't do for a paycheck right now.

[kaleanna]

back from running errands. Had to go to the grocery store

[Kreative-Dragon]

anyone here? Finally went for break and handed in my Two weeks notice.

It feels weird doing this, instead of being laid off or fired.

Hi KD, I am here inbetween doing laundry, doing listings, and refereeing the kiddos, LOL.

I can understand how it would feel a bit weird, but bet you are glad that that is done though huh?

[BlueDragonfly]

It's doing all that grown-up stuff that feels so weird for you! But you're doing it the right way! That looks really good to future employers, and you are headed for an amazing job experience as it is!

Trimming is addictive! ;) I've trimmed a few of my decks, and am working on the white borders of my Arthurian, right now! So, how are you doiing with it?

[kaleanna]

Hiya Blue,

I haven't trimmed any decks in awhile.

How are you doing today

[BlueDragonfly]

Hiya Blue,

I haven't trimmed any decks in awhile.

How are you doing today

Better, now that I'm home for a bit and can get something to eat and relax....rough afternoon.

I see you're making some jewerly and dreamcatchers! That's great!

[yirabeth]

OMG...talk about ruin my day.... :(

DiL just called...seems her niece (who was taken away from her skank mother and is living with DiL's parents now too - but long enough ago, to make a person wonder has she been living with lice for MONTHS??) has head lice...and gee, they found eggs on Elaina's head too.....


F******!!!

She says, Oh, I'll go to the doctor and they'll give me stuff to put in my hair...

Great. But I don't HAVE medical, and I can't afford a doctor, and ya want the truth?? I can't afford the over the counter stuff either...but cool, YOU are fine so no biggie huh.....


Also, Well it's just eggs, no adults... Great, but you know those eggs didn't spontaneously appear on her head, ADULTS laid them there...

She's been on my couch, on my bed and using my pillows in my bedroom, cuddling up laying her head on my shoulder before naptime.... Oh and she likes to sit on my lap while I comb her hair -- using my comb of course... :(

Might end up having to cut my hair off...

Bad day :(

[Frayling0]

Hi all - I'm so sorry I vanished (as always!)

As well as being super busy with work (taken on new duties, having been asked to join the staff forum - which is actually quite exciting), my gramp's been taken ill - and we've been visiting him in hospital. He may have to have surgery, and he has a virus in his blood :( All in all, been a really stressful week! So happy to have a day off tomorrow!

How has everyone been?

Edit: Just checked my pay check (just come through online) and I got a bonus - woo, that's cheered me up :D

[BlueDragonfly]

Oh no Yira, I'm so sorry to hear this! I would be furious with DIL for putting you in this position!

[BlueDragonfly]

Congrats Luke, on your bonus! And enjoy your day off.

I hope your (((gramps))) will be okay!

[Frayling0]

Congrats Luke, on your bonus! And enjoy your day off.

I hope your (((gramps))) will be okay!

Thank you BD, I'll send your energies his way :)

The bonus was for scoring above 95% on a mystery shop... wish I knew who the mystery shopper was hehe, but so glad I did well :D

How are you!?

[yirabeth]

I know it's not really her fault...and Barbie (and her brother Kenny -- yes, you can tell the mother was on drugs when she had those kids huh?) really NEEDED to be taken away from her so-called mother... I guess what upsets me is DiL's attitude. I'm okay, you don't matter....UGGGH.

Gonna try the "natural" method instead of the chemical method...my hair wouldn't survive it, it's too babyfine and delicate. Supposedly the success rate is higher with this method anyway, since head lice have become very resistant to chemical methods. So, weekly treatments with mayo-saturated hair wrapped in plastic for an hour, for 3 weeks..(plus a nit comb to pull them out of course.)

Luckily I have a futon -- I've already stripped the cover off that and am washing that. My bedding next. Gonna seal my pillows in a big bag for 3 weeks as recommended...I'll use my robe rolled up for a pillow...

That up there's the CHEAP way to do it!

If it doesn't work, then I'll have to cut my hair off....

[yirabeth]

Luke, sending healing energies to your Grandpa! ♥

[BlueDragonfly]

I'd be letting her know that her attitude sucks!

I hope that the treatments work for you!

[Frayling0]

Luke, sending healing energies to your Grandpa! ♥

Thank you :D

I remember nits when I was young... sometimes a good double shampoo and fine comb are enough if you're persistent :)

[kaleanna]

Better, now that I'm home for a bit and can get something to eat and relax....rough afternoon.

I see you're making some jewerly and dreamcatchers! That's great!

hiya Blue, Glad you are home for a bit and can relax some :)


Thankies :D

[kaleanna]

Hi All,

Yira Sorry about what your going through right now, hope the treatments you are doing work and that you won't have to cut your hair.


Congrats on the Bonus Luke, and I too am sending energies to your Grandpa.

[Stormdancer]

Luke...prayers for gramps...

Yira...praying annihilation vibes for you...

I'm at the sushi place...mega games afoot at work...wonder how it's all gonna play out. Looks like someone is getting fired but who knows. I guess I'm just tired of the yabbie drama.

[yirabeth]

Yikes...YOU aren't on the firing line are you?? It's one of the yabbies?

[Stormdancer]

I don't think so but ya never know. It's all of the yabbies but I'm not sure they really know. I think bossman has a plan, but I'm not sure the queen yabbies knows as much as she thinks she does. She wants bf gone but I just don't see that. If it is her bossman is a total fool.

[yirabeth]

Uggh, sounds like a mess :( I don't blame you for being tired of it!

[Stormdancer]

It's such a shame. It's such a nice place to work...lol

[Stormdancer]

Ok...food is here...later...

[Laura Borealis]

(((( Yira )))) What a pain! I hope you don't have to cut your hair. :(

So you don't feel quite as alone... I've had to deal with lice too. Only mine weren't the head kind! That's right... the other ones :bugeyed: And I didn't even do anything fun to get them. Someone borrowed my towel (without asking!) at a swim party. I was irritated but used it to dry off anyway... big mistake! :mad: I did get the over-the-counter stuff to kill them, and it worked. Plus had to wash all my bedding, towels, and clothes. I was surprised how easy it was to get rid of them.

One of my friends got the head kind once, and she did have to shave her head, but she had dreadlocks which made it impossible to completely get rid of them. Her long, long locks had to be cut off and her head shaved to the scalp. :eek:

[yirabeth]

Yikes Laura, I bet that was awful! And your friend..I bet she was heartbroken :(

I think this is gonna work...although my dogs may be following me around wanting a go at my hair for a while...LOL

[kaleanna]

My 3 yr old is getting to sneaky ugggggggg.... He was too quiet, so I look to see where he is at and he is climbing back over the couch. He had helped himself to a cupcake, he placed it on a plate, placed the cupcake on a plate, put the plate on the back of the couch, and proceeded to climb back over the couch. He was NOT a happy camper when momma got after him for NOT asking and for climbing over the back of the couch.

[yirabeth]

Awwww! But he's so MANNERLY about his sneakiness...cupcake on a plate, so he doesn't make a mess.... :D :D (((((Kaleanna's Kidlet)))))

[kaleanna]

Awwww! But he's so MANNERLY about his sneakiness...cupcake on a plate, so he doesn't make a mess.... :D :D (((((Kaleanna's Kidlet)))))

LOL, yeah he was really proud of himself for putting it on the plate, LOL.

[yirabeth]

Hehe, what a great kid you have :)

[Stormdancer]

I'm not sure that's the response she was looking for Yira...lol

[yirabeth]

Yeah, but it's true....hehe

Don't worry Momma, he's just going through a stage, all kids do :) He'll grow up to be as fine a young man as your others!

[Laura Borealis]

Yikes Laura, I bet that was awful! And your friend..I bet she was heartbroken :(

It was more just gross than awful. And I didn't want a lot of people to know. Fortunately I didn't have a lover at the time, so I didn't have to have The Conversation.

I'm sure my friend wasn't happy about losing her locks. I didn't know about it till a few weeks after the fact -- she had been traveling when it happened. By the time I saw her, she was merely rueful. But she kept it short after that, and honestly it really suited her short. I imagine it was tons easier to care for, too!

I've been fighting the urge to cut all mine off. I keep telling myself summer will be over in a few weeks, and then I'll enjoy having long hair again.

[yirabeth]

I'll admit I've considered cutting mine...but then I'll require frequent trims, my hair grows like it's on steroids...and that gets expensive...LOL

As it is, I just trim my bangs every couple of weeks, and the rest every few months..a perm for body every 6 months....

Okay that's just as expensive as frequent trims, but it's less time consuming LOL

[kaleanna]

I'm not sure that's the response she was looking for Yira...lol

ROFL Stormy

Yeah, but it's true....hehe

Don't worry Momma, he's just going through a stage, all kids do :) He'll grow up to be as fine a young man as your others!

Hehehehehe Yira,

I know he is, and so after he was upset for a few mins and decided to come and tell me he was sorry and asked the right way, I got him some, he couldn't have a full one due to it being almost his bedtime and he hasn't had a nap today and all...... But he did get some in the end, he just had to learn that he has to ask and not just help himself yet. even though he had put it on a plate and had only got one( I know other kids that would of gotten or tried to get more than one, LOL) , the point he had to learn was to ask, :)

[Laura Borealis]

Oh man... Max the cat has a new obsession LOL!

She came and sat on my desk, right on my mousepad, to stare at me. Usually this means "I want fresh kibble" or "Please turn on the water faucet so I can get a fresh drink of water, because I am too good to drink out of the bowl." But she had just been fed, and when I turned the faucet on she ignored it. Kept staring at me. I realized what she wanted was her magic kitty powder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_yeast). A couple days ago I put some on some stale food to try to get her to eat it, and she LOVED it. So now? she's begging for it... it will become expected... LOL. Spoiled much? I'm such an enabler!

[yirabeth]

LOL, that's a spoiled kitty alright!

[Stormdancer]

I'm home, and STILL in a kinda pissy mood. I was disappointed with my meal. I tried one of their new rolls, and it was a waste of $...mega $ for what I actually got. Kinda like, "Where's the Fish???" Also, they used to serve on a wooden tray. Now it's cheap plastic, as is their condiment dish. YUK!! hmm....we'll see.

I'm overwhelmed by the move thing.
Irritated beyond belief at the job thing.
A child is stealing $$ from my purse. I'm pretty sure I know who, but it's hard to tell. I now have "No cash...sorry" LeShrug....

Just generally pissy. It's a good thing my shotgun is locked up. I've a hair trigger tonight. :mad:

[Stormdancer]

Oh man... Max the cat has a new obsession LOL!

She came and sat on my desk, right on my mousepad, to stare at me. Usually this means "I want fresh kibble" or "Please turn on the water faucet so I can get a fresh drink of water, because I am too good to drink out of the bowl." But she had just been fed, and when I turned the faucet on she ignored it. Kept staring at me. I realized what she wanted was her magic kitty powder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_yeast). A couple days ago I put some on some stale food to try to get her to eat it, and she LOVED it. So now? she's begging for it... it will become expected... LOL. Spoiled much? I'm such an enabler!Is it ok for her to eat that? And how much is too much?

[Stormdancer]

!! WOW !! Whale sex is awesome! Probably not so good if you're on that wee boat in the midst of the bulls fighting over the femme...ROTF...:laugh:

[cardlady22]

Work-related event scheduled on his day off. No pay. Then I had to remind him that tomorrow is trash day. Poor dear. He's got the last 3rd of a bottle of wine out in the Den of Iniquity.

[Laura Borealis]

Is it ok for her to eat that? And how much is too much?

I think it's okay. It's very good for people and I *think* I have seen it as an ingredient in natural pet treats. I only give her a very light dusting of it over her food.

I had a cat, years ago, that found my stash of nutritional yeast. I had it in a plastic bag, from the bulk dept. of the health food store. She ate through the bag and had licked up at least a one-cup measure's worth of it before I discovered her crime. She seemed fine... and I got a glass jar to keep my nutritional yeast in :laugh:

!! WOW !! Whale sex is awesome! Probably not so good if you're on that wee boat in the midst of the bulls fighting over the femme...ROTF...:laugh:

He's got the last 3rd of a bottle of wine out in the Den of Iniquity.I'm catching up to him.....ok, not yet, and I'll probably fall asleep, but....yeah....

HI!!! Have we met? I'm Storm :) Nice to meet ya~~~

What's an "annies" ....and if I'm right, which one?

Hello, merissa!

[BlueDragonfly]

Hi merissa!http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-greet024.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php) How's it going?

[Stormdancer]

Hi merissa!http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-greet024.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php) How's it going?OH, that's a cute one too!!!

[yirabeth]

Welcome Merissa :) I'm interested in which Annie too!

Stormy, I hear you on the whole money from wallet thing...my midkid was VERY bad at such things -- stole checks too (his name was same as ex-husbeast's) I dropped the check book and quit carrying any cash at all..debit card all the way.... I still mainly only use my debit card, but have cash in my room. Jack is an honorable kidlet though..he doesn't take it ♥

Blue, that's an AWESOME smiley!

[BlueDragonfly]

OH, that's a cute one too!!!

They're both on that free smilies site!

It's time for me be like this one...

Stormy, I hear you on the whole money from wallet thing...my midkid was VERY bad at such things -- stole checks too (his name was same as ex-husbeast's) I dropped the check book and quit carrying any cash at all..debit card all the way....I'm just bummed to be going through it AGAIN!!! And it's been going on for a few weeks, but I thought I was just not paying attention, or going crazy. It's the crazy making that really bothers me. I am SO willing to assume I'm an idiot, when in reality I'm being "Gas-lighted"....guess I've not learned it yet. :(

I set a trap last night, and so I know for sure someone is, but I'm not sure how to trap THE suspect. I'll figure it out though. EldestinExile was a very good teacher. I'm just a slow learner...LOL

[merissa_88]

Hi everyone! Love the smilie Blue.

Stormdancer, one of the Annies from the 80's was named Andrea McArdle (hope I'm spelling it right). Really nice girl and she did sing that song in school once. So funny to hear it after many years.

I had a degree of that going on as well, although he's outgrown that...and Jack was enough younger that he wasn't part of that "scene" except in a very removed way...

I think the way it's been the last few years with us, living on very strict budget and not a lot of spare, has taught Jack a lot. I've allowed him to KNOW why he sometimes can't have what he wants...and let him help me spend the spare...hehe I think perhaps he will be VERY together concerning his money when he's older.

[merissa_88]

5 am wake-up call! Nighty Night! (((PubmATes)))

Good night Blue and all!

Sorry to hear about the kid troubles (I don't have any, so don't know much about all that.)

AH....
I was thinking.... (stop laughing everybody else...she doesn't know me)

Annies....animated smilies

Annie....the VERY lucky to be out of our office friend

I was SO wrong. (It only happens once a year)...starting now!

I grew up with a girl/woman....sang Some where over the rainbow better than Judy...'twas heartbreaking when she quit singing.

[yirabeth]

Kids can break your heart...and then sometimes, they're all that makes life worthwhile ♥

AND!! They give you a grandchild sometimes...♥♥♥ That's the really awesome part :)

Sorry to hear about the kid troubles (I don't have any, so don't know much about all that.)I am abandoning mine and moving in! :angel:

I'm entertaining....in a sarcastic kinda way :D

[Stormdancer]

AND!! They give you a grandchild sometimes...♥♥♥ That's the really awesome part :)LaLaLala....I can't HEAR you....})

[Stormdancer]

5 am wake-up call! Nighty Night! (((PubmATes)))I just got this! **gulp** uh....have a nice day~~~~

I'll still be sleeping

[yirabeth]

You'll probably be all "Oh I'm too young I can't be a granny yet!" and so on... I was for the entire 9 months DiL was pregnant. Very unhappy about the entire situation! I'm not much of a kid person either -- love my own, but generally speaking I'm more than happy to avoid everyone else's kids...hehe

Now, of course, you can't tell I like my granddaughter at all huh.... :D :D

You expect to feel something when you give birth to your own kids. But it was really weird, totally knocked me off my feet when she was born, and her momma let me hold her....She was the most beautiful little girl I'd ever seen! (easy to say as I have only sons hehe)

[Stormdancer]

But it was really weird, totally knocked me off my feet when she was born, and her momma let me hold her....She was the most beautiful little girl I'd ever seen! (easy to say as I have only sons hehe)I know this is how my Mom reacted. There must be a something special going on there, BUT...I am SO not ready, and neither is EinE!!!! not to mention the Youngers :bugeyed:

We scared her away, didn't we? I so totally suck at the whole welcoming committee thing :(
Maybe I shouldn't have been so quick to move in?

[yirabeth]

I dunno what it is...I thought maybe it was because of how much my own grandmother meant to me, and my determination to be there for my granddaughter if she needs me...but if your mom felt it too perhaps not just that :)

I think we did not scare her away, Stormy :) She's probably just browsing along and didn't realize we would stay and chat etc..more like other threads on the forum kinda thing...

But just in case -- Merissa, we promise not to bite! :P

[merissa_88]

We scared her away, didn't we? I so totally suck at the whole welcoming committee thing :(
Maybe I shouldn't have been so quick to move in?

Not Even!!! You are very welcoming. I just have no attention span. Went wandering off to other threads...

[merissa_88]

I think there must be something hard-wired in us to feel that way about grandchildren. I've heard so many people express similiar feelings.

[yirabeth]

I'll just...apologize in advance....hehe If you stick around Merissa, you'll hear a lot about my granddaughter, Elaina...it's different than OTHER grandparents though, you see. Mine is obviously MUCH more special!! :D:D

[Stormdancer]

Not Even!!! You are very welcoming. I just have no attention span. Went wandering off to other threads...Oooooh....she's one of US!!! a Wanderer.....:D

HI!

[merissa_88]

Hi! what's it like in Chicagoland these days? I used to live in Wisconsin and flew into O'Hare many times. Crazy airport.

[Stormdancer]

I dunno what it is...I thought maybe it was because of how much my own grandmother meant to me, and my determination to be there for my granddaughter if she needs me...but if your mom felt it too perhaps not just that :)Well, Mom was all about it until they grew up enough to think for them selves....NOW we have "issues"...LOL

(Mom has issues, I've just started to "get" this )

That being said, I'm looking forward to her visit in Oct....for 3 days ONLY!!! The Woman has a hella sense of beauty when it comes to homes, and she....oh, never mind...anyway....looking forward to it.

Mark this post and remind me when I'm in the thick of it...LOL

[yirabeth]

Hehe I'll do that Stormy!:P

I hope I don't get issues...regarless, though, even if she's a total brat in 15 yrs, I'm gonna remind myself what my grandmother always said (and did) for me -- "I don't judge you, I just love you."

That's what I'll give my granddaughter when she's a hormonal wreck :)

[Stormdancer]

Hi! what's it like in Chicagoland these days? I used to live in Wisconsin and flew into O'Hare many times. Crazy airport.Funny you should ask. This summer, the weather has resembled where you are now!!! Obnoxiously so!!

I live in the suburbs. Very familiar with both airports though. They make sense to me...LOL

I live along the Metra train lines, and the "City" trash is invading, along with the drugs and the crime. I'm in the process of moving.

How are you at packing?

[merissa_88]

Yirabeth, how old is Elaina? Pretty name. Of course, she's special and you have the good sense to realize this.

[Stormdancer]

I hope I don't get issues...regarless, though, even if she's a total brat in 15 yrs, I'm gonna remind myself what my grandmother always said (and did) for me -- "I don't judge you, I just love you."
Hon, your GrandMother was a HELLA woman! :heart: and so are YOU!

[merissa_88]

Funny you should ask. This summer, the weather has resembled where you are now!!! Obnoxiously so!!

Our weather might actually been cooler this summer. i hear it's been tough up north temperature-wise.

I live in the suburbs. Very familiar with both airports though. They make sense to me...LOL

I live along the Metra train lines, and the "City" trash is invading, along with the drugs and the crime. I'm in the process of moving.

How are you at packing?

I rent. I'm very good at packing. The secret is to throw out or give away a lot of your stuff. Then there is always throwing it into the trunk unpacked.

[yirabeth]

Yirabeth, how old is Elaina? Pretty name. Of course, she's special and you have the good sense to realize this.

She's 15 months old now :) I get to watch her 2 days a week while I'm unemployed and while her mother is working...almost makes unemployment worthwhile! (But I'll just pick up Krystal's night shifts once I am employed so I still get her hehe)

And...just cuz you've not seen her...here's my Elaina : https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=762615&l=6578d9ad19&id=100000739536373
(taken last week)

Hon, your GrandMother was a HELLA woman! :heart: and so are YOU!

My grandmother was the most awesome amazing woman EVER...if I can even be 1/10th the woman she was, I'd be content :)

[merissa_88]

I have to pretend to get back to work now. Good night to both of you and thanks! Now I have a new way to avoid work- I'll be back.

Yirabeth, she's beautiful!!!

[yirabeth]

Sweet dreams Merissa -- it was nice meeting you!

[Stormdancer]

I'm very good at packing.I NEED her...LOL

My BIG issue is the "Dead Furniture" that's not coming with, BUT I sleep there and i'ts the only place to sit.

Ah well...I should just sleep....on the furniture that's not coming with....LOL

[yirabeth]

Hehe, Sweet dreams to you too, Stormy :)

[Stormdancer]

Gawds Yira....She looks SO much like Daddy! It's those EYES!!

[yirabeth]

Isn't she beautiful? I can't believe just how lovely she is...(especially with the picture I took the week before of her insanely awful face lol)

That girl is gonna be a real looker when she grows up...I feel sorry for momma and daddy trying to chase off the boys....hehe

[Stormdancer]

- I'll be back.Really?? Promise??

I LIKE her...from her profile...

"Who am I kidding?... if you're an artist and make a
deck, it's probably on my wishlist."

We are twins....})

[Stormdancer]

..I feel sorry for momma and daddy...Do you really TRULY??? })

[yirabeth]

Yeah, because if she's ANYTHING like her momma and daddy, she is gonna be a HANDFUL....!! And all I have to do is be Grandma. THEY have to keep her from going out and doing something supremely stupid while she's too young to know better....LOL

(Okay I'll do my best to keep her from that too hehe)

[Stormdancer]

DD just walked in......gab gab gab....LOL she just cracks me up...LOL

but now I'm exhausted....:bugeyed:

[yirabeth]

I can't wait to meet your DD some day :) She sounds pretty cool!

[Stormdancer]

I can't wait to meet your DD some day :) She sounds pretty cool!LOL...highly dramatic and very amusing....AKA exhausting...LOL

[yirabeth]

I suppose it will just be very humorous for me because I'm not actually her mom...hehe I will sympathize with you on the drama end of it though!

Joe's a bit of a drama queen...granted he's a man but Drama Is Joe....LOL

[Stormdancer]

Joe's a bit of a drama queen...granted he's a man but Drama Is Joe....LOL
Yeah, so is EinE....I'd like to see the 2 of THEM together...I imagine 10 minutes and they annoy the crap outta each other....for EXACTLY the same reasons....})

[yirabeth]

I'm guessing you're probably right! Even Krystal admits it...we have fun commiserating with each other over his dramatic pronouncements etc...LOL

[Kreative-Dragon]

*storms in, closes back door, grabs pillow and SCREAM BLUE FREAKING MURDER*
I am a horrible, horrible ****ing person, not worth the family I am blessed with, but i CANNOT do this anymore.
I'm never going to get to Uni, he'll either have tied me down, or I will be in jail for first Degree.
crud... sorry.

It's doing all that grown-up stuff that feels so weird for you! But you're doing it the right way! That looks really good to future employers, and you are headed for an amazing job experience as it is!

Trimming is addictive! ;) I've trimmed a few of my decks, and am working on the white borders of my Arthurian, right now! So, how are you doiing with it?
Snippings all over the place. They look better now, like they could come off the page. And yes, I do feel like a 5 year old being put into Adult roles right now. Lynn is insane for thinking I can do this.

!! WOW !! Whale sex is awesome! Probably not so good if you're on that wee boat in the midst of the bulls fighting over the femme...ROTF...:laugh:
Imma go wash my brain out with soap and acid now, be right back.

merissa, hi, nice to meet you. If she's hear... does that mean I'm not the newb anymore?
Sorry you couldn't meet me on a better day. You should have been here this morning, I was GREAT!!!

sorry guys, I just need to do something, or holes are going to be made.

[yirabeth]

I'm off to bed now, gotta be up with Jack in the morning. Have a good night, ladies! (and gents if any are lurking)

*locks door behind her*

[Wendywu]

OMG...talk about ruin my day.... :(

DiL just called...seems her niece (who was taken away from her skank mother and is living with DiL's parents now too - but long enough ago, to make a person wonder has she been living with lice for MONTHS??) has head lice...and gee, they found eggs on Elaina's head too.....


F******!!!

She says, Oh, I'll go to the doctor and they'll give me stuff to put in my hair...

Great. But I don't HAVE medical, and I can't afford a doctor, and ya want the truth?? I can't afford the over the counter stuff either...but cool, YOU are fine so no biggie huh.....


Also, Well it's just eggs, no adults... Great, but you know those eggs didn't spontaneously appear on her head, ADULTS laid them there...

She's been on my couch, on my bed and using my pillows in my bedroom, cuddling up laying her head on my shoulder before naptime.... Oh and she likes to sit on my lap while I comb her hair -- using my comb of course... :(

Might end up having to cut my hair off...

Bad day :(

Over here when the kids get headlice they don't recommend at all that you buy stuff to kill them. They tell us to get a giant sized bottle of conditioner and a nit comb. Every night - every night - soak the hair in conditioner and spend a loooooong time combing with the nit comb. It doesn't take many days before they're all gone. They lice won't survive off the body.

There's always someone in the class with them, and notes being sent home that every kid in the class needs to condition/comb - which by extension means that all the families do too....

[Kreative-Dragon]

we go all natural in this house. The chemicals in the product are so off setting to me in smell that I get REALLY sick. Tossed cookies, blinding headaches, muscle aches, you name it. Just from smelling the stuff.

Last time we got them, I was trying to grow my hair out (again) and mom found some in my hair. Said "screw it", shaved myself bald. Same with James. Miraculously, Taylor didn't get any and she has really long, beautifully white hair. If she got lice A) you'd see them across the room and B) I think she'd cry more than dreadsfriend of mine when she wen't through chemo.

[Kreative-Dragon]

*looks at clock*
OH, good MORNING Calgary. What a wonder 12:06 we have right now.
Imma go to bed now
kay thanks bye
*waves zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

[Flaxen]

Anybody around?

[BlueDragonfly]

*waves* I am! For a little while.....

Good Morning! It's going to be another beautiful day! I'm hoping to spend a couple hours at the lake this afternoon, not all that many(a few weeks at most) swimming days left. Of course, I love to just go out there and sit/walk along the lake edge, even when the water's too cold for swimming.....:D

[Flaxen]

Hi BD! *waves back*

Your lake sounds wonderful. :)

It's great when you have that special place in nature where you can relax and be yourself. The weather here is very damp - rain doesn't look too far away.

[BlueDragonfly]

Hi BD! *waves back*

Your lake sounds wonderful. :)

It's great when you have that special place in nature where you can relax and be yourself. The weather here is very damp - rain doesn't look too far away.

It's a beautiful place. I actually have a few places around here that I love spending time, a quaint little park by the river, the trails in the woods across the street for, walking.....:)

Your rain reminds me I need to water the garden, we didn't get the rain that was forecast for yesterday.

[BlueDragonfly]

Flaxen, I see you're on the list for one of Mi-Shell's pouches! I've got one for my DruidCraft and it is gorgeous! They are truly works of art!

[Flaxen]

Sorry, I was just typing up and posting in the Hallowquest study group. :)

Yes, I'm so excited about Mi-Shell's pouches. I remember an earlier thread when I was a new member and being awed by the quality of her work. I'm sure it will be very special.

[BlueDragonfly]

Well, it's time for me to pack up and head out!

Have a great day!

[Flaxen]

Have a great day, BD. Enjoy the lake. :)

Time for me to go too - lunch beckons.

There's always someone in the class with them, and notes being sent home that every kid in the class needs to condition/comb - which by extension means that all the families do too....Hello all... Wendy is right, Yira... For many years I had 3 kids going through a little local school in a subtropical climate where lice felt VERY much at home... We did try the chemical-free preparations, like citrus oil stuff etc, and even the chemicals, ugh, out of desperation but, really, nothing beats a thick coating of hair conditioner rubbed all the way into the scalp and to the ends of the hair, left for half an hour while kids soak and play in a bath, ideally, and then the inexensive, but labour intensive, comb-through, squashing any nasty little things you find along the way (Sorry lice, blessings to you xxx). Cheap, and more effective than other means. Good luck... :heart:

Hello Stormy, Pathwalker :) Seems life is just plain busy, with PW too busy to stop, you busy packing, and me barely hopping on the train... I think I possibly shouldn't do the ISG exchanges, because it means I am on a time frame that needs to be met, although I do enjoy reading that way, as I don't force myself to read on any other occasion... Too busy!!! :):):)

[linnie]

Linnie!!!!! HiHowAreYa?

I was thinking of you yesterday after seeing your name on an exchange somewhere.

I'm in the process of packing for a move, and I'm overwhelmed. The DECKS are packed though...LOL

I hope the move is a joyous one, Stormy :) :heart:

[PathWalker]

Stormy - Linnie - Hi!

Up to take OH to train station before 6 this morning - it is the first day of university clearing, and apparently it's mad right now.
Dear daughter to dentists for tooth issues.
Drive to town a little way away to get refil wash liquids from green shop, and food shop whilst I'm there.
Try to get last thing for oH birthday tomorrow.
Take both dogs to vets after one of them ate rat poison two days ago (pushed through gate to reach tube). Whichever one it was didn't eat anywhere near lethal dose for a dog, but do need blood tests just to check clotting time/treatment.
Two baby parrakeets hatched
Get tea underway
Wrap presents for tomorrow, bake cake too if possible.
Pick up OH from train station at whatever time he specifies.

Oh, and I actually went out last night, to an informal social meeting of a small group of pagans I know. Was home - sober - by 11, but up at 1 as birds spooked in aviary and needed to go put light on to let them perch and settle.

Running on adrenalin today I think LOL


So nothing bad or serious just one of those days when it all happens at once to the Hermit that is me!

xxxxxxx


Now out of time, tea drunk, vets here I come........

[linnie]

Hey all - greetings from Kyoto!! Can't stay and chat - stuck on a bus just now - but wanted to say hi from this most spiritual of cities. Posting some nice pics on FB if you know me there. Just back from a temple more than four times te age of the United States :bugeyed: This country is OLD :laugh:

Anyway, be well. Catch you eventually!

Hey Zan... I've been wondering about you for ages... delighted to hear you're in Kyoto (or were, 4 days ago, when you posted this :)). Did you get to Saiho-ji Temple (Koke-dere) and the Moss Garden??? It's almost surreal in its beauty... and just wonderful to see ordinary tourists observing the Zen rites and ceremonies, and being invited to take part in them... My favourite, favourite thing of all that I saw of Japan. Anyway, very happy to hear that you are well and travelling in awe-inspiring places. :)

[linnie]

Stormy - Linnie - Hi!

.... just one of those days when it all happens at once to the Hermit that is me!

....... Understood, PathWalker, totally understood.I trust your day will unfold as camly and uneventfully as possible :heart:

[Stormdancer]

I think I possibly shouldn't do the ISG exchanges, because it means I am on a time frame that needs to be met, although I do enjoy reading that way, as I don't force myself to read on any other occasion... Too busy!!! :):):)I like doing the exchanges but I agree with you about the time frame thing. I also get excited at the time of sign up, but then I get cold feet when it actually comes.

I don't get cold feet so mcuh as irritation with myself for making me more busy than I would have been had I just been sensible and not signed up :) I really am not so busy, though... Mine is a time-management issue, to be sure. I'm sure I will keep doing the ISGs, otherwise I simply don't have any real reason for gathering more decks about me, but I will time manage to cope better... of course... *chuckle*

Everyone is leaving just as I arrive....:D

Stormy, I didn't have anything particularly exciting for lunch - just some toast. I've eaten so much over the last few days I really wanted something light.

[cardlady22]

Slept in again, so I woke to the sound of the garbage truck. :laugh:

Best of luck to everyone with all these things to do/weather today! I do hope my last Tarot Reader book gets here.

[Wendywu]

Good rowing today :D. Well, good in as much as I wanted to stop from the moment I started (feeling very lazy!), but did the whole distance I'd planned - which was a triumph of discipline over temperament :).

Also talked myself out of getting a posher mobile phone when I know I won't use the extra widgets it offers; I like my phone - why change it??

It's been a good day.


Himself - not such a good day. He found some old potatoes in a potato store he'd forgotten he had...... old well-rotted potatoes. He has a particularly sensitive stomach for nasty smells; it's usually me that deals with smelly stuff. I was upstairs rowing, and the problem had to be dealt with right away. I feel very sorry for him }).

[cardlady22]

Hello, Wendywu! I'm having another unmotivated day . . . could be due to the fact that I'm waiting for the funds to be able to do all that's on my list. :laugh:

[Wendywu]

I got another copy of the Robert Place book today, but think what I really want is the little Thomas Saunders paperback called "The Tarot", so roll on payday. Also waiting on an Aquarian, which I am looking forward to very much :)

[cardlady22]

I jinxed myself last week or so by saying I felt about done with purchasing. :rolleyes:

Now I'm watching out for ordering Place's 3rd ed Alchemical, Oracle of the Shapeshifters (JBG), and the Playing Card Oracles (old version)

[Wendywu]

I think about the Playing Card Oracle but I'd need the book, and it's a bit spendy to get both, so I just tell myself I'd likely not use it anyway - which is the truth :D

[cardlady22]

*whistles innocently*
September will bring a Train, yes? :P

[kaleanna]

Peeks in,


How is everyone?


I am packing stuff to hopefully get to the post office today, if the funds are in my acct.

Trying not to stress, but its hard. I have lots to do, but not feeling very motivated atm :/ probably due to the headache I have.

[Kreative-Dragon]

popping in before the world explodes. I get the feeling today might be a weird day. Just went walking and the field across from my house is COVERED with seagulls. Legit covered, and I have no idea where they all came from. There's also a tonne of them flying over the field (waiting to land o.0 ) I also passed a tree FILLED with crows, ravens, and magpies. The tree was black there were so many of them.

It feels very end of the world ish right now... as per usual :P

[Wendywu]

September will bring a Train, yes? :P

Which reminds me I have some profile hunting to think about })

see that's the thing. I love those kinds of birds, and I felt SAFE sitting there. Like "if sh*t goes down, I'm hanging with you guys"
If we have another row today, I'm just going and sitting under there for a while.

[coyoteblack]

umm train September sounds like fun.

[Wendywu]

I like the crows in Dumbo, singing as they bounce on the telephone wires :)

Today feels so Friday, but tomorrow is not Saturday. This is a sadness. I wanted it to be Saturday so that there would be a day at home. And yet I love my job - I have my work planned for tomorrow and I will be glad to do it and will feel good when it is done. But I'd rather it was Saturday and I was at home.....

[Wendywu]

umm train September sounds like fun.

It sure does CB - how things goin' with you?

[Kreative-Dragon]

Neighbor just let her wolfdogs out into the seagull field. That was pretty cool.

how are we here?

[Wendywu]

Just about to leave the computer for a while - the family is all home now, and it's time we went and ate :)

[Kreative-Dragon]

see you. Enjoy dinner

[kaleanna]

back from the post office. Took an hour. the clerk was a trainee. And I had to send a package overseas so took awhile, LOL

[Kreative-Dragon]

I went down the day before the post strike ended, and the place was OVERFLOWING with parcels, and the look this woman had on her face made we wonder if she was just going torch them all instead of send them 0.0
postal people kind of scare me some times.

sometimes it's better for us kids to know that parents get stressed. There's something... strengthening about it. You're not perfect, I'm not perfect, but you're still so strong AND you feel normal human emotions, so maybe i CAN be like you one day.
One of the times I felt like a "human being" was when my mom broke down in the car after a really, REALLY bad day at work. It's hard to explain, but sometimes it just helps.

I do understand this KD, and yes there are times that they do see it and that I do "break down in front of them, but I just feel that they have had to see enough "stressful" times lately and know that too much especially stress is NOT a good thing for adults or kids.

I love that movie!! That came out in freshman year of high school. :)

[cardlady22]

It's her 5th or 6th time watching it. I sat with her this time around; hoping she won't ask again. I do like Leonardo, but the whole story of R&J is depressing to me. Especially when you consider they were about the same age my daughter is. Scary thoughts for a mom.

[Queen of Disks]

especially since the ages were normal for when Shakespeare wrote it. :bugeyed:

[cardlady22]

Yep, and to think that I've already passed that time's average life expectancy . . .

[Kreative-Dragon]

Actually, the original story that Shakespeare based it off of, Juliet would have been about 14 and Romeo 30... 35.

Hello, Luke! I'm flipping through articles in the 4 books of Llewellyn's Tarot Reader series. Guess I'll have to hunt up all the contributing authors' blogs since it's discontinued.

Hi CL, oooh Llewellyn art is lovely :)All the illustrations are shown in b&w, but it has mini bits of info as well as reviews. I'm really smiling at the article by Elizabeth Hazel: The Grammar of Tarot. She makes the suggestion to fill out Mad Libs based on a pulled tarot card for that given word type. Sounds like a real blast!

Hello, Manda!

The stories coming out of Japan recently make my heart bleed happiness. Do you know anywhere else in the world where people would BREAK into cars to retrieve money and personal items, and then take ALL that time and effort to return money and items.

In Canada... 80% would have just quietly kept the money in a situation like that.

Hmm yeah kinda, it is where people that are interested sign up, and then depending on how many sign up then it is broke down into groups, you send say 7-10 pieces to everyone in your group and each person in your group sends you 7-10 items. Sometimes some people will send a lil more (because some just have too much "junk, toy etc " items, LOL)

Yeah, pre season...who cares? I'm just letting it whet my appetite....

SO...now that I've settled down....:rolleyes: How are ya????

Getting a little hot under the collar. :mad: I'm trying to look for a new cell phone. My carrier doesn't have a phone(I have to pay retail) for under $170, that one doesn't even have a camera. Not happening! So now I'm looking at Tracfone and found an interesting one, have some questions and I've been waiting for Chat rep(estimated wait time 12 seconds) for 6 minutes, now.

Thank you so much my dear. The Contest goes until Sept 5th.

We could use some rain here, but it doesn't look like that's happening till tomorrow night/Saturday.

Fair warning... This pub is flying the coop... Or in this case Beacon hill park... one of my childhood stomping grounds, and now my son's.

Well, it doesn't look like I'm going to get my "chat session" with a rep on the cell phone I'm looking at, so.....

I'm turning out the green light, and saying Good Night! (((PubmATes)))
