GN: Its Friday!
BN: My old teacher is mad at me.
GN: I have a Girl Scout meeting tonight.
GN: I saw Coraline and LOVED it!!!

is Coraline good? My Librarian told me the book was REALLY creepy.

One question... why is your OLD teacher mad at u?\

GN:Hee hee i made a new group call "For the Interesting, Odd, and Entreianing."

Coraline is a little creepy, but it's a good book puppet.

really?

oh yeah, it's shiznizz. da bomb. whatever, it's good.

lol.... i still think its a little creepy to read... i get scared easily.

i was watching this show "Lost Tapes", which i could tell is pretty fake, but my twin tottally FREAKED OUT. And when she gets scared, i pretty much get scared. :)

Stupid twin telepthy

GN: My LT library is completely updated and accurate. I printed off my catalog for moving and checked off each book as I shelved it. :)

Well done lefty! How very organised of you!

GN: Date went well. Really nice guy. Seeing him again on Wednesday. *grin*.
BN: I'm not very good at this sort of thing...

Yay LadyN! I am sure you are doing fine!

GN: I have the house to myself and a day of NCIS
BN: I also have to clean, do laundry and dishes, and my homework...

10> I agree with MsB

GN: I feel loved this morning.

Bad News: I was late for my LSAT diagnostic test, and thought I tanked on the whole thing.

Good News: I actually did fairly well on the test, all things considered, and have several months to study.

Bad News: 3 1/2-odd months of studying.

Good News: WATCHMEN MOVIE IS COMING. LIFE IS WORTH LIVING.

Weird News: On my Twitter, the Republican GOP is following me. Sinister.

Thanks for the confidence vote guys!

Of course LadyN! :)

Good news: I got my b-day present in January. A new phone! And texting! My mom is paying for the first 5 months.

Bad news: I never have free time anymore. It's been awhile since I could go on LT. :(

But at least you are on now!!!

Yeah for a couple minutes though. I have to go help at a show.

What show?

Some winter drumline show. A bunch of high schools will be there. I'm helping with concessions.

LadyN, there is no need for a vote lol. You are a wonderful, funny woman. Anyman that doesn't want to go out with you is a moron. hehe.

Congrats on your new phone Chelsea! Hope you get more free time soon!

Lefty- I am so impressed. You are the type of organized that I can only dream of being. 8)

LadyN- Good Luck! Dating is so hard! I was never any good at it. Luckily neither was Rob. The first 'date' he ever asked me on was to the junkyard to find a part for his project car. After that there was no pressure to make a good impression on him. LOL

El- So you want to be a attorney. Neat!
CB- Have fun listening to the drumlines 8)

MsBella- I have a house to clean up too. 8( But the good news is that Rob is off tomorrow and if the house is cleaned up I can just sit around, reading without guilt while he fulfills his fatherly duties. 8)

BN- My brother and I are fighting again. *sigh*
GN- He'll get over it in a while
BN- Considering we are fighting over me homeschooling the kids (ruining them, don't you know) and my other lifestyle choices, we'll get into another fight soon enough.

Bad News: My feet hurt from work. It was really tiring today. I only slept for 5 hours (I went to bed at 1:30AM because my sister Megan needed help making a video application for a job in Australia.) Then I woke up at 6:30. Got to work at 7. Checked 2 people out. Then my manager was like "Ok, you can go on break since we're so slow." I could've slept longer =/
Good News: I don't work tomorrow.
Good News: I sewed for awhle yesterday. I fixed my parents' curtains (they were about 8 inches too long) and fixed my friend's shirt.

>24 mindylou182:: I must say, it shows dedication on your sister's part that she is making the application in Australian time (5:30pm). Or she's so confident that she is already adjusting to the timezone change.

Same material in the curtains and shirt? I'm thinking The Sound Of Music.

GN: The volunteer appreciation is over and I don't have to deal with it anymore.
BN: I burned myself while frying the beignets, of course and it really hurts.

#16 Chelsea: CHELSEA!!!! *runs and hugs.* We've missed you! If I lived in the US, I would totally ask you for your cell phone number cuz I got one for christmas, but alas, texting would probably be pretty expensive.....

GN: There was tons of packy snow so my friend and I had a 2 1/2 hour snowball fight against her brother and his friend....pretty good stuff.
BN: I'm exhausted now.
GN: No homework for the weekend.

BN: I think I broke another toe. It's still hurts from when I stubbed it on Thursday.
BN: Our dryer went out last Saturday. We ordered a new one. It was supposed to be here on Tuesday, then Thursday, now tomorrow.
BN: Our garage door broke a spring (a 6 foot long one), and the door is very heavy. Someone is supposed to come look at it tomorrow.

I've got a little funny news, but you'll have to see the picture to understand. I'll post later.

#27 ALINA!!! *hugs* LOL I wish!

Good news: I remembered more news.

Bad news: On Valentine's Day, my "sister's" little brother got hit by a car while riding his bike to find their neighbors lost dog. He was riding up the hill and the car was going down. It was sooo scary.

Good news: He's okay!!!!!!!!! He only had some bumps and bruises and a few cuts on his head. This happened at like 2:30pm and he went home at 8:00pm.

I was so scared when this happened. I asked if he was okay at 3:00pm and my friend didn't text me back till 5:30. I was worried something really bad happened. I'm so happy he's alive!!!

26: Bib, didn't your parents teach you not to touch the cornballer? But seriously, keep ice on it (frozen water, not the bounty hunter/caterer:) and take a Tylenol or Advil.

Good News: I'm organizing cat's trip pictures.
Not so Good: There are over 900 pictures.
Exciting News: My cousin (second cousin really) edited the video montage for the In Memoriam part of tonight's Academy Awards!!!!

GN: I'm watching the Oscars!!!

OHH! That is exciting JP!

**edit to correct "excited" to "exciting".

#10 LadyN:
I'm glad you had a good date! Hope Wednesday's is just as great. :)

#16 Chelsea:
I think I remember you wanting text messaging. That was very nice of your mom. :)

#23 MEM:
My sisters and I get into little fights all the time. I hope thinks patch up soon.

#26 bib:
I'm sorry to hear you burned yourself! Do you have something to put on it? *hugs*

#28 kirby:
Ouch! What happened this time? How is your first broken toe doing?

#29 Chelsea:
Glad your friend's brother is okay! That is pretty scary.

#31 jp:
Ekk. That many pictures! Someone must have had such a wonderful time! :)

Bad news: My right foot and arm were trapped between the doors of an elevator with broken sensors today. It was hurting me and wouldn't let me go.

Very Good news: Obvious and yet I am so relieved over. I somehow eventually freed myself of that horrible thing.

No broken bones. Just bumped and forming bruises. Obviously also sore. Oh my goodness. Nightmare. It will be a long time before I can put a limb through closing elevator doors again. This is what I get for always liking the elevators as a kid and being terrified of escalators.

Oh, and lesson: Don't punch an elevator. It doesn't help. I also regret apologizing to the crowd after because I had been screaming and cursing when stuck. One of those people could have been human and helped me.

BN: I am soooo tired
BN: I have to go to work.
GN: I found out that I can do my homework while the kiddies are sleeping at naptime.
GN: That will pass the time somewhat quickly
GN: Then I will be able to come home to my nice clean apartment.
GN: I really mean clean! I did a lot yesterday!

:O K! No one would help you? That's ridiculous.

First toe is healed (they heal pretty quickly). This one was trying to get a toy for one of the dogs. I can't remember which one this time.

#34: Sorry and hugs again K!

#35: Bella I'm sorry you're tired and that you have to go to work.

#36: kirby I'm glad the first toe is better now.

GN: I'm quitting my job! (For a big number of reasons)
GN: I will have more time for college and I would be making more money giving classes on my own.
GN/BN: I will miss some of the people I work I'm just glad I won't be seeing some of them anymore.
GN: No Bad News :D

K, next time try yelling "POSSESSED PIPE ORGAN!!!" Maybe they would notice. ;o)

I'm glad you are OK. I once got my finger stuck in an elevator, but I had relatives with me that quickly got the doors open. Consider that the people inside probably didn't realize the sensor was broken and how painful that must have been. (yes, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt). I've also fumbled trying to figure out where the stupid open doors button is when someone yells to hold the elevator. They may have been trying to help. You never know.

BN: my ribs are bruised.

How?

a certain baby decided to spend some time punching them yesterday.

That will do it.

Here's my funny from the other day.

Notice anything wrong?

#43 -- Ah, Sophie did that to her harness a few weeks ago. She got bored one night, and when we woke up the next morning, her harness was in a couple pieces.

GN: I thought I was going to have to work this evening, but I'm not!
BN: Time to go grocery shopping. I am not enthused.

I had a blast this weekend. I went out for drinks (my, my, my did I look spiffy in my new dress from Anthropologie) and then I went to Comic Strip to watch some really amazing stand up comedians, it was the most I have laughed since.... since the last time I went to see stand up comedy. Everything was perfect. I was wonderfully drunk and giggly...

Bad news:.... so giggly that I dropped my gorge wallet in my friends car. I am completely destitute! I don't have my credit card, I don't have ANYTHING!!! I had to buy a $4 metrocard with QUARTERS!!! Do you know how long I have to save to get $4 in change?? I never use cash. bwaaaaah! I"m so miserable!

Oh suge! I hope you can get your wallet back soon.

Poor sugey!

but hurrah for drunk and giggly sugey - I have fond memories of her from...ooh, let's see...ONE YEAR AGO THIS WEEKEND!! (Before the piano's started falling. It was a simpler time...)

Thanks, Kibry! I should get it back tonight. I just feel soooo poor and just third world right now! I mean, I am poor but today I feel homeless.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! has it really been a year??? omg!! where has the time gone?? We really did have a glorious time didn't we?? And to think! We're going to do it all over again soon!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Yep, was the weekend that Feb turned into March. But it's nearly May now!!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

*grabs N's arm and jumps up and down*

*responds in an equally frenzied manner*

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

(This could go on for some time folks, just pretend we're not here....)

Just wanted to get in on the action.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Come on in kirby!!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Sorry people we are just consumed by the giddiness right now!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! ok that was the last one EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Hey when you are going to London, you will say the same thing!

#36 kirby:
Yep. I have lost some faith in the goodness of random people you see throughout the day. If I had been an observer to that you can bet I would have ran to that elevator and tried to pry the doors off the person. I'm scrawny but I still would have tried. Those people....they say they don't care about anyone except themselves.
You can't remember which dog you were getting a toy for, or which toe? I'm sorry you have another one broken! Very glad they heal fast and that your other is healed so it's just one right now and not two.

#37 Ron:
Thank you! *hugs back* I'm sorry your job didn't work out.

#38 JP:
If only I'd seen those were the magical words to say. ;) Thanks, and ouch for your finger! How old were you when it happened?
The buttons were beside me to the right. I mostly hit the button myself with my left hand but imagine another woman may have at some point. It wasn't responding either for some reason.

#39 riss:
I'm sorry about your ribs! Hopefully it was a one-time thing. *hug*

#43 kirby:
Oh, dear. Can't say I haven't seen it happen. Fiona is put on a leash every night, sort of a comfort and security thing for her. The leash gets chewed on in the morning if she isn't let off right away.

#46 suge:
Glad you had such a great weekend! The gorgeous wallet isn't that yellow one, is it? Does this mean you got another wallet? I'm sorry your wallet was left in the car. At least it wasn't a cab. Remember Berry the first. Does your friend live or work close enough to you that you can get your wallet today?

*plugs her ears from the screaming* ;)

Good news: I fully expected bruising by now but my arm just has red marks. Both my arm and foot hurt and that is all.

Are you saying that my yellow wallet wasn't pretty??? Because my sister gave that to me.

Yes I have a new wallet:


Sob I remember berry 1 I left him in a cab poor baby. I'm getting my wallet today after work

incase the pic doesn't work you can see my wallet in all its glory

And the driver...So guilty! Totally stole it on purpose. Sorry for the reminder.

Your yellow wallet, um...Oh my goodness, you got a new wallet! It's beautiful, you are absolutely right about it being gorgeous. Is that what you paid for it or was it another price?

I want to go purse shopping. I'm too picky about them, though. They have to have the right pockets, and at least be able to hold a trade-size book, of course.

Good news!:
I bought a rice necklace online last week and it's here! It doesn't look as good as it did online and I don't think it was worth the $30 spent but it wasn't supposed to be about what it looks like. It has other value. It's heart-shaped, has April's birthstone and a violet inside, and the grain of rice says Loofy. I miss my baby. :(

it sounds lovely K.

Ah, I will tell my sister all you haven't said about the yellow wallet that she gave me. One of the few things she has ever given me and you "um...." it. I'm prodigiously proud of my not so new wallet. No thats not the price I paid for it. So I'm a little pissed.

No, no! I was happy the day I found out she gave you a wallet. I knew you didn't have one and that you don't carry much cash. It made me feel a lot better that she did that. I had worried before about what would happen if you left your card in a pocket or something.

Paid more than that then? It's a bidding thing. I bet it will go up, especially now that you've linked it. Even I want to bid on it. I just think it's funny to have the same wallet as someone you know, so I'm not.

BN: my date from Saturday (who from now on shall be called C, if reference is necessary) isn't able to meet on Wednesday after all.
GN: We're meeting on saturday instead.
GN: We've been texting a lot.
BN: I feel like such an awkward big gorky giant. This is when I get the panics, respond badly to compliments and make men not want to see me anymore because I'm sooooooooo bad at the dating thing. Blah.
GN: I'm going to try really hard not to be an awkward big gorky giant.

Hrmph.

Yeah, that's Urban Outfitters for you.

K don't do it! DONOT buy the same wallet. Get another..... search "Loop Wallets" and a bunch of stuff will come up. They have really gorgeous ones, k.

My whole life has changed now that I have a wallet. I'm sliiiiiiiiiightly more organized.

Oh, sorry, forgot to say - sugey, that new wallet is gorgeous. Forgive me, I can't comment on it's yellow predecessor...

#61 LadyN:
Good luck, LadyN! Just be calm and breath. Say "I am not an awkward big gorky giant!" :)

#62 suge:
I said I wouldn't! Anyhow, it's a new purse I want. I love my wallet. You'd hate it 'cause it's just plain black. Loop Wallets...I think I will look. *crosses fingers that she can just look* KIK! Some organization is good every so often. *ducks*

Thanks K. I swear I turn into Hagrid when someone even whispers the word "date"...

Even in the forms requesting "date" of birth? 8)

#56 K:
RE: #36- KIK I sure do remember which toe it is. It's not hard to forget. I don't remember which dog or which toy though.

Ha ha ha... You know what I mean Ronald ;-)

#65 LadyN:
You're welcome! And hey, I bet you do better than I would! I haven't dated so I'd probably be in a worse state whenever the day will be. If the day will be. I think I've given up.

#67 kirby:
Sounds like the cat scratch on my arm from last night in that I have no idea which one of them got me.

Don't give up K. You're just wonderful, in my not so humble opinion.

Thank you, LadyN. Not humble?? You are wonderful, too! Don't stress about Saturday. :)

Thanks chicken, I'll try not too. :-)

LadyN, if he's worth your time he will accept you for who you are, just relax and be yourself.

Yes. What rissa said.

Bad News: Our tub drain was draining slowly.

After half a day of plunging and various drain cleaners...

Worse News: Our tub drain stopped draining.

After several more hours of plunging and bailing water...

Good News: Our tub drain is draining slowly!

See, it's all in how you look at it...

Good luck LadyN!!!!

Yes, it most definitely is JP!!!! Hehe

Good News: 2-hour early release tomorrow!
Bad News: I have to type a paper. and I'm procrastinating.

GN: I don't have to be at work until 2 today
BN: Less hours = less money
GN: I have time to read and drink my coffee before heading out.
GN: I got to sleep in this morning.
GN: I had time to pick up around the house and do the dishes
GN: So that means I won't have so much cleaning to do on Sunday!

Good News: My husband tried to help with the clogged tub.

Bad News: The key word is "tried." The tub is not draining at all again.

I love my husband, I really do. But I don't interfere with his fix-it projects, why does he interfere with mine?

I predict another fun day of plunging ahead. I wonder if I can count it as a cardio workout?

GN: My B-Day is in less then a week!

That's right! I had forgotten our B-Days are so close together.

JP, you can definatly count that as a cardio workout ;)

81> Yeah! Yours is one day after mine right?

#79 Have you tried pouring boiling water into the the drain or at least in the water above the drain? Sometimes that helps loosen clogs.

83 yep

I'm going to try that next, MEM. I was trying to give it a chance to clear itself, but the congestion seems to be getting worse. My pipes seem to have a nasty chest cold and the over the counter meds aren't doing it.

*read what I just wrote* My mind goes to strange places when the migraine hits it. *leaves to get a tylenol*

*dims lights for JP*

#72 LadyN:
You're welcome. :)

#74 jp:
I'm sorry about your tub! We've had that problem with the sink in our garage. The water from the washing machine goes into it before draining. Typically the problem is a runaway sock. ;)

#79 --> Probably. *hugs*
Good luck with the sink and I hope your migraine is fading away.

Good news: I clicked "I do not want this book" for two books on hold for me on PaperBackSwap yesterday! :)
Bad news: I'm being left out of a floorset at work for the second time in a row. I love floorsets!
More bad news: I have horribly few work hours next week.

Great News: I got the tub back to a slow drain! I don't know how long it will last so I'll just celebrate while I can.

K, I am sorry about your work hours! I hope they get back to normal soon!

JP, is the clog in your drain excess hair (yes, I know. It sounds gross) We had the same problem a bit ago and tom pulled a huge ball of hair out of the drain. Now the tub drains fine.

GN: I was sent to another location for work today.
GN: I love that location. The other teachers were wonderfully nice and the kids are so good and lovey. They even gave me hugs! ANd the center is only 2-5 minutes from my house!
BN: I am going into my location tomorrow.
BN: I am asking for a transfer to the other center.
GN: I am asking for a transfer to the other center.
It is bad news too because I am afraid to talk to my boss about the transfer because I know she is going to make me feel guilty about wanting it. and I am a sucker for the guilt trips. However the other center offered me more hours and more money. 40 + hours a week! And I would get to be a co-head teacher!

91> I'm reasonably certain it's hair. No matter what you do, some gets down the drain. My mistake was not taking care of it when it was slow. And at this point it's in too far for the plunger to unstick it. I'm thinking I need a bigger plunger. :-O

BTW MsB, I'm glad you liked the other location. I hope you get the transfer.

#91 Bella:
Thank you. Sadly, that is normal now. It has to do with a group of my co-workers. They've been playing stupid games with me.
I really hope the transfer works out! It sounds like it would be wonderful. Good luck!

#91 -- Don't feel bad about asking for the transfer. Switching to a location that's closer to your home, where you would be making more money and getting more hours and more responsibility, is obviously the best thing for you. Be confident! :-) (I know, easy for me to say, right?) I hope you get it!

#92 -- I feel your pain, JP. The one main thing that is less than ideal about this house is the plumbing. A plumber who looked at it shortly after I moved in said that, really, the best thing to do would be to completely re-plumb the house. Ha, ha! Silly plumber! So instead we are just vigilant with the drain cleaners and keep the plunger on hand.

BN: I have not gotten everything done that I intended to do today.
GN: The day is not technically over yet!

Awww K I'm sorry have you been looking for another job? Or is there another B&BW close to you? I will come and visit and straighten them all out!

JP, Thanks for the luck! I am hoping she will just say ok and leave it at that.

Foggi, I know I shouldn't feel bad, especially since the director of my center has been ignoring my pleas for help with the evil co-worker. But I really like my assistant director, she is great and I feel bad for leaving her. I know they are going to be a little mad. But they can replace me. I have only been there 3 days after all.

#91: Good luck with the transfer Bella...I second Foggi's opinion that it is the most logical decision and you shouldn't feel guilty since they really haven't been nice to you and they really didn't make you feel welcomed....

#92: Sorry for your clogging JP...we had a clogging here in my house and we used a product and left it for a few days and then it was better...maybe you can find a similar product....

GN: I'm giving my resignation letter tomorrow afternoon.
BN: I still have to work one more month there.
GN: I just have to work there one month and that's it!
GN: I'm soon to begin college again after waiting a whole year for the transfer to take place.
GN: I went to the swimming pool with some friends and then went to a friend's house and had fondue.
BN: The long weekend is over (yeah we had carnival holidays here yesterday and today)

P.S. Happy Belated Carnival to everyone!

JP what about using one of those "snake" thingies to push the clog to where the pipe gets bigger?

Bella-I hope you can get the transfer.

97 -- I think she had a snake, but it's too rusted to work.

GN: Paypal and my bank are finally seeing eye-to-eye.
GN: This means I might be able to afford car insurance this month.
BN: Still don't know where I'm going to come up with rent money for the old apartment.

JP: Have you tried using a Zip It? We've used it before. It's pretty cheap. I think we found one at Lowe's for even cheaper than this link.
http://www.safetycentral.com/zipitdrcltoi.html

Bella- I hope you get the transfer!

Thanks for all the advice. The clog is no more. After a lot of research, I picked up Kleer Drain at Home Depot. It's a plunger and compressed air bomb rolled into one. I so recommend it. Five seconds and the drain was clear. And only a little bit of splash when the compressed air shot the duct tape off of the overflow drain. (They tell you to duct tape it so that the air goes where it's supposed to.) To think how much chemicals I've poured in there over the years and all the plunging I've done.

I feel so fulfilled.

*claps hands excitedly* YEAH!!!

Congrats JP!! At least you got to get some exercise while plunging...;)

Sounds like it was fun too. Air Bomb.

#95 Bella:
I haven't been looking for another job, but there really aren't jobs here. Businesses, companies, etc - it comes down to everything - are downsizing and closing like mad all through the bay area and clear out in the valley. (I know you don't know where that is, but it's a good two plus hours away. ;) I think I'll look anyways, but I don't think I can expect results.

#101 JP:
That's great news!! :) I wonder if it scared the cats? ;)

Bad News: My 23-year-old sister's car was stolen last night.
Good news: She's borrowing our mother's car so she can go to it if and when the police find it so it won't be towed.

:O !!!!

Well LadyN let me describe the wallet that k (who by the way owns a plain black wallet so who is she to put down other people's wallets!!!!!!!!!) was small and made of sunny yellow canvas with a brown leather buckle. It was from Old Navy. Very basic. But K thinks was hideous. I shake my fist at you.

#106 kirby:
The worst part is that it's highly suspected by the police to have been stolen by a friend of the guy she rents a room from. They know him and his friends very well. She only moved there a month and a half ago and now it looks like not such a great place to live. We wondered if it was too good to be true.

Cute news:
Tipi thinks she's a dog. Cats might give your hand kissies, but she licked the side of my face. What cat does that?

my wallet is pink and has a dog wearing a tiarra. I think my boyfriend is embarassed every time I take it out.

#107 suge:

Forgive me.

*holds her wand to her clutch, not wallet*

"Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow,
Turn this stupid, fat rat wallet yellow."

K, what are you on? and can I get some too?

#109 rissa:
Cute wallet!

#111 suge:
It was the first thing that entered my head. We are a group of HP fans after all. ;)

#111- Must have found some funny herbs.

Right.

:P~~

Who doesn't love that part of SS/PS? :)

No, you mistake me, my dear. There was nothing wrong when Ron was saying that.

Oh well. I thought it was funny.

I honestly didn't pick my wallet for it's color. I decide on whether it's made out of an animal or not, if it's mimicking that it's made out of an animal or not, and then if I like the pockets first. I'm too wallet and purse picky to get to pick colors at a good price.

You're a person who does well with things that are stylish. It was a good wallet for you.

GN> we passed QA at work today!
BN> My hands are raw from scrubbing

I hope your hands feel better soon, polly!

G/B news: I didn't get to see Inkheart while it was in theaters. However, I've just learned the dvd release date and wanted to share it: April 17th.

K, thanks for sharing! I liked the movie and will most likely buy it. At worst, it'll be on my wishlist for later.

You're welcome, lefty. I'm going to get it as soon as it's out. I've been dying to see it.

Good News: No homework!
Bad News: School and work tomorrow.

Enjoy your free afternoon and evening, mindy! Don't worry, the weekend is a mere two school days away. :)

Good/Bad News:
I just saw my next paycheck online (I can see them early by a few days) and it's higher than it was supposed to be. I checked the rate and my boss forgot to lower my pay to it's old rate after I had my temporary supervisor position. How much trouble does that make me in? He did that for the last one, too, but the co-manager told me she didn't think he was capable of changing the rate mid pay period so I didn't worry about it then. Oh, this will be funny. I can walk into work and say, "Will you please lower my pay rate like you were supposed to?"

That's an interesting one K! I hate errors like that, where you reeeeeeally don't want to point them out, but even though it's not your error, you aren't allowed to keep it. TSK!!

GN/BN: I didn't get that job I went for a couple of weeks ago. I'm kind of relieved as I decided that it doesn't really fit in with what I want right now, and I was in a panic as to what I'd do if I did get offered it!

I'm sorry you didn't get the job, LadyN. *hugs*

I'm happy/sorry you didn't get the job, LadyN.

Thanks both!

cat - Me too! actually, the more I think on it, the happier I am I didn't get it. I know I'm not entirely happy with my current work situation (hey, who is?!), but I'd sort of planned how the rest of this year was going to fit together, and getting this job would have mucked that up somewhat.

BN: I have loads to catch up on here, but I'm exhausted and really have to go to bed. It's nearly midnight, and I want to get up early in the morning to go to the gym before work.

Night all!

K, I am still sorry about your work. I hope your sisters gets her car back! ANd I am sorry about the mistake on your paycheck. Well, I am sorry that you can't keep it!

Polly, I hope your hands feel better soon

LadyN, I am glad things turned out the way you wanted them to!

GN: I got my transfer. I start at my new center on Monday!

BN: I sobbed during 3rd

Kinda GN: It was break down confession day in PAL (3rd period)

BN: I made everyone else cry too.

GN: It felt good to let it out.

Congratulations MsB! I'm very glad you're getting that transfer, sounds like the best move for you!

I'm sorry you can't keep your raise K. That's unfortunate.

GN: This week was my busy week in school with 3 tests and an interview. I made it through in one piece!
BN: I've been e-mailing my boss at work about working over the summer and possibly spring break. She said that there's no room for me on the schedule over spring break, but I have to stop in to get some sort of review thing done before I can work their again. (Those last 6 words scare the _______ out of me). I technically still have a job their, and have never had to do a review when I come home. Considering I plan to work full-time for them when I graduate and use their continuing ed. program to get my MLS, this is a little nerve-racking .

ETA: I'm going to the gym tomorrow and Sat to take my mind off of this mess (and to stay healthy). I'm also comparing my tbr list with our library's catalog to find a book to read to take my mind off of this mess as well.

BN: I've been sitting here for 5mins wondering why it is so quiet, only to realise that there is a staff meeting on.

GN: I didn't go to the staff meeting.

Congratulations Ms_B! That's wonderful! About time you had some great news I think!

GN: There's almost no one here today.
GN: This means that I won't have a lot of interruptions and I can work on an organization project I've wanted to do for awhile but couldn't because I would have been in people's way.

GN: I'm flying through my to-do list this morning . . . so much so that I decided I could take a quick break and read threads.
BN: Still lots more to do!
GN: I get off an hour earlier than usual this afternoon -- and I thought I was going to have to come back in for a meeting this evening, but I don't.

Bad News: One of cat's brackets came unglued.
Good News: It was no big deal because it was on a tooth that is OK, and she might be able to take the top bracket off soon!

I'm glad you didn't get the job, N. There is no bigger drag than being dragged into stuff you don't want to do.

Bella: Yeah!

LadyN: I'm glad it went the way you had already decided (not wanting it).

BN: I'm getting a lot of flack from others right now. I've worked so hard on 2 different things for them, and all I get are complaints.

Kirb cheer up. That's people for you. I hate people.

#130 Bella:
Thank you. Don't worry about my paycheck. I talked to my boss about it yesterday. As it turns out I get to keep what I made from their error. He's fixing the problem tomorrow.
And YEY! Congrats on your transfer!! I'm so happy for you. :)

#131 MrsG:
*hugs* That reminds me of a Women's Lit class I took. For every project we had, each student had a heart-breaking story. We were all teary.

#133 mindy:
Thanks. Me, too. ;) I knew from the time I was offered the temporary position that my pay would go up for only that time and then return to it's normal rate, so I'm not upset.

#134 wingert:
Maybe there's nothing to worry about. I didn't have my first review for my job until after working for an entire year and a half. Everything went alright. Good luck on your review! *hug*

#139 jp:
As in only have braces on the lower jaw soon, or keeping just the one bracket off?

#141 kirby:
I know it sucks. I've been there, too. Maybe they're all just stressed, taking it out on you, but are thankful for your hard work and help. *hugs*

Good news: I have today off work.

#140- Thanks sugey. It counts in your favour too, as I may not ahve been able to get the days off I want to spend with yooooooooooou!!!

eta: of course, you may not see it that way!!

Great News: My sister's car was found! It's still driveable! She's on her way to go get it. :)

This worried so many people. Apparently it's a really popular car to steal. She has the exact same car as our 20-year-old sister and one of our aunts. Now they'll know to watch out over their cars a little more.

good news indeed K!

So glad K. Where did they find it?

I've no idea. Somewhere local. It was our mother she told. I did hear that it looks like someone was trying to take it apart and left quickly. Apparently what damage might exist isn't much.

Thank goodness her car was found! The other day after school my car door was slightly open and both doors were unlocked (and I know I locked them) but thankfully nothing was taken.

#143-The upper brace will be removed and she will only have braces on the lower teeth. :o)

I'm so glad your sister's car was found!

My hands are much better today, thanks to all

K Im glad your sis's car was found!

Whoop whoop I'm double happy for you now N!

#149 mindy:
Thanks. Goodness, that's scary. Do you have a CD player installed in your car? Something a lot of people here do is remove the cover and keep it in their purse when they're not inside their car. It lowers the amount of car break-ins. I'm glad nothing was stolen!

#150 jp:
Major congrats to cat! And thank you. :)

#152 suge:
Thanks. She's very relieved about it.

:( Shot down 4 times with in 10 minutes. I've gotten 4 messages from Abby saying I didn't snag a book. :(

aw too bad Kirby! Wonder if I did?

*hugs for kirby* Maybe next time.

Maybe. I'm still waiting for my ER from October. I have a hunch it's not coming.

Have you posted about it in the ER group? I think they have a thread for it to try to see what's going on. Sometimes it's the same book people have trouble with.

The first two times I signed up neither of my books arrived. Abby signed them off as no-shows for me, but I've never snagged one since... :-( Still, I know the competition to receive them is huge, so I'm hoping the two aren't related.

#150 JP: Forgive my ignorance, but can cats really have braces?

GN: Warm weather today.
BN: I have 30 questions in algebra for tomorrow.
W(orst)N: I don't get half of it.
BN: I'm getting braces on Tuesday.
GN: That means my appliance, which I've had for four months and makes me speak and smile funny, will finally be taken out forever!!!

GN: I've got the day off work & it is a paid day off *doing the happy dance*
BN: I've got the day off because there was an accident at a building site on the street where my office is. The scaffolding collapsed.
GN: No one was hurt.

Creepy news! The accident happened at exactly the time I would normally be passing under the scaffolding on my way back from where I usually have lunch. For some reason on the spur of the moment I decided to walk around the block instead of returning to my office directly.

PS. Yay for everyone getting their teeth scaffolding removed.

#160: Cats can't, to my knowledge. But catbastets can. :o)

good news: I'm getting a book from the Early Reviewers Members Giveaway! I can't believe it. It's called Wild Neighbors: The Humane Approach to Living with Wildlife.

bad news: That means they want me to review it. Which means I have to read it right away. Pressure!

Sorry about the braces, picolina.

Glad you and everyone else are alright, Donna!

Congrats on your ER book, jp! Don't stress over the review.

Okay, it looks like a rant. Don't read below. Point: Her car is a mess, her textbooks stolen, and she can't keep her car.

Bad news: Those cops who found my sister's car were out of their minds. It needs a lot of work. All her textbooks and even dirty gym shoes have been stolen. They've probably cost her $700 plus a semester of school not counting the damage to the car itself. Thank you, good citizens of California. She's been advised to not fix it and just sell it or else have it stolen from in front of her home again. By her roommate's friends. Good people.

Oh thats just awful,K! I'm so sorry! I've had a car stolen and so has MEM! Theives could care less!

#153 K, my CD player and tape player are all attached. They would have had to take out the whole dash. And it doesn't even look like a radio with a faceplate. It was just weird.

Good News: My friend is coming over tomorrow =D
Good News: I'm eating a cookies n cream milkshake
Bad News: I have to finish 2 books by March 2nd so I can return them to the library. I guess I could renew them...

#125: Congrats on things working out the way you wanted them to LadyN!

#130: Yayy for your transfer Bella!!!

#139: I'm happy that they are taking cat's brackets soon!! I have many friends who have them and I know what a pain in the neck they are...

#141, #154: Sorry about the guys at work not appreciating your hard work kirby! and sorry that you didn't get any ER books...

#161: I'm glad nothing happenned to you MsD...that's why you have to trust your instincts sometimes...:P

#163: Sorry about your sister's car K! and those cops really must suck...

GN: I already quit my job!
BN: As I have mentioned before I have to work there for just one more month...
BN: Some of the students I'm going to miss were really sad that I was leaving the Academy...
GN: My friends and family support me on this decision so it's more than Ok.

0 for 5 now. Oh well.

K: Man! Stupid people

MsD: I'm glad you're okay!

Ron: Sorry you have to work another month, but it's good that you're going to get to do what you want to do.

Yeah Ron!!!!

GN: I didn't have another emotional sobbing breakdiwn day today.

BN: I have been having terrible dreams.

Thanks kirby and MrsG...

#168: Sorry about the bad dreams MrsG!

I forgot to add...

GN: I'm going tomorrow to the movie theater with some friends to watch Slumdog Millionaire...I already saw it but I love it that much!

#164 polly, #166 Ron, #167 kirby:
Thanks. I feel so terrible for her.

#166 Ron:
I'm happy your friends and family are being supportive. :)

#168 MrsG:
Sometimes when I've been having bad dreams I try to make sure I'm very tired when I go to bed. I'm not sure if sound sleep provides less nightmares but it's always what I hope. Do you have a cat or dog that you can take to bed with you? I hope you sleep better tonight!

Both my cats sleep with me. I will try to become super tired when I got to sleep tonight. Thanx. :)

It might be better to try to fall asleep with the thought of directing yourself into a good dream. When you overtire yourself, your body makes up for the lack of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep by making you dream more. Which means you have more chance for a nightmare. It's also good to talk out the nightmare. It helps you to figure out why you are having it. My scariest dreams always happen when I feel like I am at a turning point in my life. Fear of change, fear of forgetting something important, fear of failure, can all represent themselves in nightmares.

Perhaps look at a dream dictionary online before going to bed.

Don't feel bad about waking your cats to pet them in the middle of the night. They're better comforters than your bedding. :)

166 quit, it's a verb with an irregular past-tense.

#174: Thanks rissa I already fixed it :P

175 there are lots of irregular verbs in english, it's hard to remember them all

#176: It's just that I was just looking it up because I wasn't completely sure and it said Here it could be quit or quitted :S Oh well like I say to my students "English is crazy" :D

172-173 Thanx I will try the online dream thing. And JP I am going through some stuff like that.

I've never seen or heard "quitted" used except by someone still learning (young children have a hard time learning irregular verbs). it may be used in other english-speaking countries, but not here or england.

>#177: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/quit

The past tense of quit is now quit for most speakers and writers; dictionaries usually allow quitted as an alternative, but it is rare or nonexistent in North America and Australia, and outnumbered by quit by about 16 to 1 in the British National Corpus. Quitted is more commonly used to mean "left". ie. She quitted her job.

English está loco.

English-speaking people are crazy too. I wonder which came first, the crazy language or the crazy people?

None because that's a cycle and cycles don't have a beginning nor an ending :P

Not true.
Cycle beginning:



Cycle ending:



However, you are correct about this cycle. It appears to have neither a beginning nor an ending. It's the pushme-pullyou of cycles.

It looks to have 2 ends.

Or two beginnings. :o)

You should have posted a unicycle. That truly has no beginning or end.

Makes me think of when I taught cat and other kids how to ride a unicycle. They would start pedaling too fast and get scared and I would have to explain that if they want to stop, they simply have to stop pedaling. They were looking for the brake.

Bad news: I was going to sleep in today and was rudely awakened by a construction crew that wanted me to move our cars so they could dig a hole in our driveway. My neighbors are moving a gas line. I had no idea they're renovations would affect me. I hope they appreciate my effort.

Good news: We never got around to paving our driveway last year. I would be much more upset if they were digging up a newly paved driveway. And dirt doesn't require jackhammers. Gosh I'm tired. What time is it?

Weird and slightly Creepy News: When we came in this morning we discovered that one of the other tenants of the office building we're in forgot to lock the deadbolt last night, so someone got into the breezeway. They left a plastic bag with some coupons, a pen and some pictures from an elementary school Thanksgiving play. On the back of the pictures were written...well I can't reproduce most of them, but they seemed to revolve around the person's desire to...nope can't say it, too creepy. Anyway, I called the police and handed everything over to them, but I'm pretty weirded out. Thankfully, I have...

Good News: I'm going to a fundraiser at a local high school tonight. I book sale! $7/bag. I'm planning to get there right as it starts so I can get the best selection.

Great News: I just bought my tickets for my cousin's wedding the first weekend in May, which means that I will be in NorCal in a couple months. NorCal people, set aside Sunday May 3rd if you can, so we can hang!

GN: my husband and I are starting our search for a house on sunday...We're going to be looking at 3 homes in our area. I'm excited to start, though I don't think any of them will be a winner, i'm still excited. Like my own personnal episode of House Hunters! :D:D:D:D

ETA more good news: Tomorrow the hubby and I are going to see Tracy Morgan, he's doing standup at a club in my town.

#185 jp:
I think it's awful your neighbors didn't even come to you and let the construction workers be the ones to ask. Sorry about your driveway.

#186 bib:
What an awful way to start the day. At least you'll have the book sale, though! And yey! I was just thinking of when you and mandy will be coming to CA last night. I'll request that day off work. I can't wait to see you guys again! :)

#187 Mandy:
How exciting!

Good news: Someone's going away this weekend so the house will be a little more at ease. I might have tomorrow off work, too, and one of my cousins who I don't get to see much of is going to be in the area.

I don't think Mandy will be coming with me. She and her hubby have to go to Scotland this summer for a family funeral thing on his side, so I think she's skipping the cousin weddings. If she does end up going, she'd be more likely to go to our other cousin's wedding which is in July.

#162 JP: Ooohhhhhhh, now I get it. Hmmm, I think doing math before going on LT isn't good for me....

GN: Day's almost over!
GN: We're gonna go see Giselle, the ballet tomorrow!

#190: I'm sorry pico. I didn't mean to be so subtle! It's my habit to talk to all of you as if you were here with me and could follow my train of thought. Then again, my family can't always follow my train of thought, so why do I expect more of my friends? :o)

#188: Ah K, don't be so hard on my neighbors. They're good people. The gas company was doing the work, my neighbors may not have known they would dig on our side of the street. I was more upset over the lack of sleep. I'm going to need to go to bed at a reasonable hour if no one is going to let me sleep in. And that makes me sad, because that's when it usually gets rowdy around here.

GN: boyfriend is moving out of the house with the wall full of mold and landlord that didn't care.

BN: they're having a hard time getting all their stuff moved.

BN: Today was horrible! I have been kicked pinched scratched and even had furniture thrown at me and into me!
BN: The director did do anything about it!
GN: Today was my last day at that center and with the school age kids.
GN: Monday I start at my new center with my toddlers!!!! Yay!

In what world is it alright to allow children to abuse their caregiver? they wouldn't get away with it if it was one of the other kids they were abusing.

Thats okay. I didn't really get to post yesterday bt the things these kids get away with astounds me. I will be posting on the Rant thread about the situaion yesterday in a moment.,

GN: I just got back from the booksale and it was AWESOME! I got a bunch of books I used to look at when I worked in the bookstore but never got around to buying and a few that I've heard about here.

GN: I've got some books that I got from a friend that I decided I'm never going to read, so I think I'm going to take them to the used bookstore next weekend and trade them for something I will read.

Glad you got plenty of books bib!

#191 JP: Don't worry bout it JP. Like I said, I was kinda tired and frustrated and...you know when you read something over and over and you just can't make sense of it. Well in you post, the word cat kept jumping out at me, oh and also the fact that I was reading the first book from the Warriors saga might've influenced my brain. Oh well, at least now it's all clarified.

GN: I just baked peanut butter cookies.
GN: It was my first time making those and they turned out awesome!

#197-I do know what you mean pico. I feel that way whenever I read anything that has to do with taxes or algebra. What kind of math are you doing? Maybe somebody--not me--can help you.

#196- I was at the shops the other day and there was a very stylish collapsible shopping trolley for sale at a very reasonable price. I stood there staring at it for about 5 mins trying to remember why I had always thought I need one of those. I ended up not buying it because I couldn't come up with a good enough reason to get it.

Your post made me remember, I need it for Bookfairs! The best thing of all is that it was for sale on the street that is blocked off because of the industrial accident, so it should still be available.

I hope so! I would have loved to have had one of those tonight!

GN: I have my Taxes filed, and I will be getting a refund this year!!!
GN: with my taxes filed, I was able to apply for financhial aid, so I did that too.

#189 bib:
I'm sorry to hear that.

#191 jp:
I'm sorry. I'm happy you have good neighbors. I hope your're able to go to bed soon.

#192 riss:
Good luck to your boyfriend where he lives next.

#193 Bella:
I'm glad you will at least be moving onto another group of kids. Monday must be so exciting for you.

#196 Bib:
That's where I've regreted parting with books. You might want to look at BookMooch. Used bookstores sometimes only give you $5 for five bags of books. It all depends on different things, but I'm sure you've traded them before and know. Congrats on your booksale find, btw!

#197 picolina:
Congrats on your first (two?) dozen cookies! Baking is a lot of fun. :)

#201 riss:
Glad you finished in time for financial aid! My sister is stressing over that very thing right now. She needs our mother's information because of her age.

Very good news:
My sister whose car had been stolen got to work this morning to find that her co-workers had put together a fund for her. They've given her over $750 to help with her car and buy new textbooks!!

I luckily don't need my mom's info this year because of the baby.

That must be easier. I'm glad you're getting a refund! :)

Good news: I had forgotten (and I don't know how!). My co-worker has two copies of the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice and said she is going to give me her extra copy. Those who are quoting P&P, beware! ;)

Good News: I work at 3pm-10pm
This is good news because I thought I worked at 7am-3pm =)

That does sound like good news! I'll never forget the time I showed up at work at 7am one morning. It turned out I wasn't supposed to be there until 7pm! (It was the day after Christmas so someone was indeed there and we weren't closed.) In those days they penciled in everyone's shifts by hand and never entered am or pm. It was my coming in twelve hours early that changed that. They've since updated to making the schedule on a computer and making it available online.

GN: I just watched a really cool Pixar documentary thing.

Bella> I love toddlers! They are so smart and loving and willing to try! Its too bad that they are also the ones who are usually sick with something! Take your vitamin C and wash your hands a LOT!

Lol Polly. thanks I will!

K, Monday is going to be awesome!

BN: I havd forgotten to apply for financial aid. Does anyone know when the deadline is?

That's cool that it's available online too. Ours is just done by computer. We don't have AM or PM next to the numbers, but you can always tell by the hours you work because we are open 6am-10pm.

#210: Granted, it's been awhile since I applied, but I think it's March 15.

financial aid deadlines are dependent on state/school, but your school financial aid department will know when that is for you.

#198 JP: I'm doing algebra, stuff like, oh what was that question? Something like 4(d+4)=4(d-9)+19
or something like that. We have to find the value of d. But I'm good now, my dad helped me the other day, and after a 10 year lesson (well, it seemed to me cuz my dad got me all frustrated because he kept telling me 20 million ways to solve it when I just want the easiest one) I finally understood. :) I'm usually pretty good at algebra but this was just completely new to me and my brain had to catch up, hehe.

#213: I assumed we were talking about the FAFSA.

So I just got back from the used bookstore. I love my used bookstore. They'll take any of your books (unless they're, like, gross). They make you an account and you get 1/4 of the original price of the book added to your account (so I turned in 20 books today and made $42). All their used books are half the original price of the book, but when you have money in your account half of that comes from there and then you pay cash for the rest. So, I bought 6 more books today for $13. Added bonus, they actually care about the organization of their books, it's categorized and alphabetized in a way that makes sense. It's a magical place.

*MEM is traumatized by just looking at the math equation and has to go to her happy place to recover*

#215 The FAFSA its-self doesn't have a specific deadline, it's state/school dependent. so my school the priority deadline was Feb 15th, but the next school over has a different deadline.

Augh! I just had to figure out that problem and spent a good 5 minutes working on it before I realized it made absolutely no sense an it was just random numbers thrown together for an example.

I hate Algebra!

Me too!

BN: My mother just told me that someone gave away a non-used copy of Deathly Hallows and Beedle The Bard at a used bookstore! The nerve of some people.

GN: My b-days on Monday! (have I mentioned that? ;))

GN: I'm goin' to Disneyland on Monday and Staurday!

Bib what used bookstore do you go to? I ave one tat operates the same way a few minutes from me called 2nd chance books

#216 - Ms D is joining MEM in the happy place. I can only use Algebra, I can't work it out. Perhaps the happy place is Disneyland wit Mrs G.

Bella-Those days are finally over for you. Do you start the new center Monday. I'm sure you've already posted this, but I can't find it.

K-That is so sweet of your sister's coworkers.

GN: My taxes are done and filed too! Yeah for refunds!

News: It snowed. It's cold. I've got work to do.

BN: At around 5pm this morning the noisy neighbors arrived home with a group of drunken friends in tow and started a noisy party.

GN: They've stopped now as the police arrived to tell them to keep it down.

BN: It sounds like they are starting again.

GN: If the Police have to come back they get fined.

#210 Bella:
It varies by state. I could be completely wrong, but it looks like you're safe. See here and here.
Thanks, by the way! I wouldn't have known my sister was lying about the date she has to apply by unless I'd looked that up for you. She's stressing the whole family.

#214 picolina:
I love algebra! That problem looks some I've helped my sister with this year. Btw, 0 =/= -52 ;) I never went past Algebra 2, but let me know if you want help later on.

#215 bib:
That's amazing! I only ever sold mine to Half Price Books. They're the ones who gave me low prices for the books. Good deal! :)

#216 MEM:
Me, too. You wouldn't find that one in a textbook. ;)

#219 MrsG:
Have a very good birthday at Disneyland! I hope you get one of the books you asked for. :)

#224 Donna:
Someone has having a party outside my house last night, too. It was a bunch of kids. We don't even have teenagers around save for my sister so I've no idea where they came from.

#221: It's called the Hockessin Bookshelf. I also get a free used book on my birthday! :)

Good news: I have today off work. :) Actually, I just jumped up and down after hanging up from calling to find out. ;)

Thanks K! That helped me a lot, now I know I can fill it out in a week or so and not worry about being penalized!

GN: I went food sopping today
BN: I won't be able to send the books that were mooched from me out for another 2 weeks.
GN: Tom has promised to help me with the housework tonight so I can get all of my homework done tomorrow

You're welcome, bella!

#226 bib:
That sounds like a bookstore some of us have only known in dreams. Have you been eyeing a book you want in particular? :)

GN: I got my nails and toes painted!!! It was fabulous!

Bad News: I didn't get off work until 11pm because the owner was there and he's super picky about when we start closing.
Good News: I will still be paid for that hour.

Good news: I got to go bookshopping and am very excited about the books I got. Also while there someone approached me and asked me to coffee or to go out to eat.
Bad news: I panicked and declined. After we'd both walked away he seemed to be following me. That just came across as a little creepy.
Worst news: Someone let a people eater into the house. (Aka mosquito. I'm sorry, JP! My father nicknamed them that.)

was it a one eyed, one horned, flying ,purple people eater?

K why not a cup of coffee? he was obviously interested.

ack- I agree with K that she made the right choice in declining. It's no good picking up random strangers anymore...too many crazies out there. 8) But isn't it good for the ego to get asked out. LOL

Some Bad news from last night at work: Someone ordered something to go on the phone. I took the order. They got pasta, but I forgot to ask if they wanted marinara or alfredo sauce. So my manager was like "When they come to the window ask them which one they want" and she left the pasta out of the bag and left the bag untied. So when the people came, I didn't realize it was the pasta person so I didn't ask... so I didn't put the pasta in there. Then they called so I told them they could come get it and I apologized for forgetting it. Then when he got there, I apologized again and he said, "Is Tom the owner?" and I said "Yes." And he was like "Well this is the 3rd time in a row something has been forgotten. Who took my order?" So I told him I did. And so he said "Well this is the 3rd time. Whats your name?" So I gave him my name and he wrote it down. I'm kind of nervous to see what happens...

and note that it was the first time I have ever forgotten something for an order. So its not like I was the one that messed up his order all 3 times. So I'm a little nervous...

Oh well that just plain sucks mindy. You should probably clarify it with your manager that this was your first mess up aand that it waas thier fault that they didn't say what sauce they want. (((hugs)))

Mindy: Sorry about the issue at your job. Since it is your first mistake I don't think he should be upset with you.

K: I believe it was a good choice to decline as well. You never know. But on the other hand as long as you stay in a very public place coffee wouldn't be so bad, maybe you would find out that he is a really nice guy! And I am happy for you and your books!

GN: I have the day to myself
GN: Tomorrow is my first day with my new class and I can't wait!
BN: My brother dropped a bunch of news on me last night and I am not sure what to make of it. I am confused about it and slightly upset.

(((hugs to Bella)))

GN: Tomarrrow is my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BN: I am hungry!!!!
GN: I am going to go eat!!!!!!!!
GN:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

happy early birthday!! and yay food!

What bookstore were you at K? If it was a Borders or B&N it certainly wouldn't have hurt to have coffee with him their, then you could have figured out whether you were interested in anything more from there.

232> Silly K. Mosquitoes aren't people eaters. They are tiny vampires!

I'm sorry you had such a scary experience. I've had some experiences that were similar, back in my late teens and early twenties. The attention is flattering, but when it turns into following, it does feel weird. Trust your instincts.

ETA: I forgot about the coffee shops in the stores bib! That would have been pretty safe. One of my experiences I was on the train and the guy asked if I would like to go have some coffee. He seemed sweet, but I was already in a serious relationship. They always find you more attractive when you're taken...

#233 polly:
I was out with my mother. That was my first thought. Second, was that I would be embarrassed over not drinking coffee. ;)

#234 MEM:
Thank you! And yes, I agree. :)

#235 mindy:
*hugs* I've had my name taken by a customer, too. It turned out I never heard about the issue again. They were more concerned about the management.

#237 Bella:
Thank you. Best of luck tomorrow, and I hope everything is okay regarding what your brother had to say. *hugs*

#240 bib:
It was a B&N store. Starbucks was next door. I think I was upset because he kind of cornered me in a secluded area to talk. My personal bubble was invaded. I have space issues.

#241 jp:
KIK! Oh, thank you! ;) Heehee.
Thanks. I think the worst thing for me was the stalker I had in high school. I'm sorry you've had bad experiences but happy to know it all turned out wonderful because you have your hubby! :)

Good news: An old friend from high school called me today and we got to catch up. I hadn't talked to her in two years.

GN: I got most of the house work done
GN: Tom texted me and told me he bought me a present...
BN: I can't see it until he gets home. :(
GN: I have something to look forward to(o)?

Ooo, what is it, what is it? :)

#225 K: Thanx, I'll let you know if I need any more help.

GN: The ballet yesterday was awesome!
BN: We got home until 2 am.
GN: That's ok cuz I got to sleep in.
BN: My cats have ear mites (both of them.)
GN: We're taking them to the vet tomorrow for treatment.
BN: Each treatment costs $25 and this is the second time they need treatment. So technically, we've payed $50 and tomorrow we'll pay another $50. This really annoys me since the OSPCA is usually pretty good at eliminating ear mites. The vet said that I could call them and ask the to have my money back (which would now total $100) but I feel bad doing that. Our branch is really in need of money as it is. They have a small wooden...shed I guess you could call it, as a main office, and cages for the dogs outside. Oh and they have a fenced area for dogs also. And then they have a trailer (RV type) where they keep another desk and they keep the cats in their cages and guinea pigs and other small animals. My dad says I should still ask money back, but I don't think I will since I'll feel too guilty. :(

#243: One "o" was correct. The rule is that "too" means "also" or "extra" which is why it has an extra 'o'. "Two" of course is the number, and "to" is the preposition, which covers pretty much everything else.

Edited to clarify with quotation marks.

GN: B-day tomarrow.

Thanks Bib.. that seems to be the only one I have trouble with!
BN: It's snowing :(
GN: Tom's surprise for me was a new bookshelf!!!
BN: I won't be buying any more books until april, (next library book sale)
GN: Now I have somewhere to put them when I bring them home!

bib, you forgot tu, which is Latin for you, as in "Et tu, Brute?"
Not to be confused with tutu, which is the costume of choice when Espy and MrA feel like dancing.

tu is also Spanish for you

And tú can also mean your

BN: I haven't been able to sleep in for several days now.
BN: It's because poor Gracie is having *ahem* doggy issues and keeps chewing her diaper off around six am because she is awake and bored and no one else is around to amuse her.
GN: The noise wakes up Missie who is allowed to share Gracie's bed (LOL) so there aren't any messes beyond ripped cotton.
BN: I have to get up and redo the diaper.
GN: Now we have a more accurate age estimate.
GN: I will be making a vet appointment soon so I will never again have to go through this! YAY!
BN: I had to explain to Missie that I was taking away Gracie's right to have children. Missie was not very happy. I can't decide whether it is because she had visions of puppy wonder dancing in her head or because Gracie won't ever actually get be a Mommy.
BN: I now have a good dose of guilt over spaying the darn dog!

edited to add another good news: I have now proven that I can diaper anything ANYTHING in less than a minute... even a big dog that hates to wear diapers! LOL

don't feel guilty about spaying her, there are enough puppies in the world without homes that her not having puppies is a good thing.

The 'Mary' part of me has no problem whatsoever with it. It's the 'Mommy' part of me that just can't stand to see them big ol' eyes so sad and dejected. LOL Luckily Mary hit Mommy over the head and stuffed her in a closet before she could make promises about puppies that she would later come to regret. 8) But it was a close thing...

#243 & 247 Bella:
That was so sweet of him! He knows your love of books so well. :)

#244 picolina:
You're welcome. I'm sorry your cats have ear mites. My Loofy had very itchy ears as well.

#248 jp:
You missed one!
This is Tutu. We sometimes call him 'Me,too'. He's a real attention craver.


#251 MEM:
Don't feel bad! Rissa has a very good point, for both cats and dogs. There are worse things. The worst thing for me was taking away the one kitten of Slinky's that we gave away. I felt like a complete monster to poor Slinky because of stealing her baby. I couldn't face her for a week afterward. That's the hard part!

Hi all!

Man, I've got a lot of posts to catch up on!

Mem - You're doing absolutely the right thing re:Gracie, for all the reasons already cited. Don;t beat yourself up about it. :-)

Ms_B - Hurrah for new bookshelves! What a lovely Tom you have! All the best for the new center as well!

GN: I had a lovely second date weekend with the boy. We do seem to be very similar, so it'll be nice to see if it goes anywhere. He loves old bookshops, and is writing a novel trilogy and a collection of short stories.

BN: This week is stupidly busy, so I may not be around LT much. Have a gig tonight, work tomorrow, theatre Wednesday, portrait unveiling on Thursday (not my portriat - one of my friends is an artist), work Friday, theatre Saturday... ARGH!! How diod I let this happen?

GN: Next week is much more civilised.

LadyN: We are going to miss you during your busy week!

BN: Tom is on his way to work... I am worried about him cause the roads look really bad.
JN: I am waiting to see if my center is closed.
GN: If it is not it is only a two minute drive from my apartment

Update:
Great News: Tom made it to work OK.
BN: It took him and hour and a half to make a 45 min drive
BN:I am pretty sure that my center isn't closed.
BN/GN:I am now getting ready for work because I am giving myself a half hour to make a two minute drive.
Hope everyone has a great day

#248 JP are you sure that's Latin? In French "et tu" is "you too" or, more literally "and you." Just curious because then I can say I know Latin too. ;)

#256 - Thanks Bella. All the best for today!!

#251: I feel your pain. When we brought Knick Knack to the vet and decided on the spot to spay her, I had loads of guilt from my six year old and her friend ("don't you like kittens?") But now that we have a sixth cat muscling his way into our lives, I have no qualms about my decision. If more people were responsible, there would be less throw away pets.

#257: French and Spanish both come from Latin. This is why they are considered Romance languages (Romans, get it?). They evolved from Latin. That is why you have tu in Spanish and French. And why once you know one of them, the others are easier to learn.

The other Latin languages are Italian, Romanian, and Portuguese. Wiki also lists Catalan. I don't know that one.

Yay new books shelves and safely reaching work!

Thanks all for the support. Whew! Missie can sound sooooo reasonable and at the same time make me sound soooooo unreasonable sometimes. She can push a button like no one else can, that's for sure.

I remember reading Julius Caesar in 10th grade and finally understanding why "Et tu Brutus?" was used as a punchline in so many movies. 8)

GN: I am caught up on reading threads . . . for now.

#259: Catalán is a language taught in some parts of Spain as an extra language and it's completely different from Spanish, I had a student who spoke Catalán and I didn't understand a single word...

#255 LadyN:
I'm glad you had a goodtime with your date and that he's a book person. We'll miss you this week!

#256 Bella:
I hope you have a great first day! :)

*random posting*
"karma police, arrest this man, he talks in maths"

*sigh it's still playing in my head*

It's playtime here. We're playing with feathers, mice, and other good toys while hiding in a new box. ;) I realllllly need to get these little guys spayed. How many times a month can one kitten go into heat? I think Tipi is constantly. It's the other's turn right now.

8) Just keep a close eye on them or you are going to have a whole houseful of kittens! 8)

KIK! Oh, they are indoor only kitties. Not even Slinky goes outdoors anymore. I want to get them microchipped, too. Slinky has one. I think I would feel terrible putting Aloft throgh that, though. She was spayed years ago so I'd hate to put her through a surgery simply for that.

ummm....even if they are indoor kitties... are all the non-spayed cats the same sex?

Heehee. They're all female! :)

265: All I saw was "We're playing with feathers. I reallly need to get these little guys spayed." Then I lost my whole train of thought. :o)

Bad: it was 4 below zero this morning
Really Bad: I had no heat
Good: I have heat now
Bad: An expensive part needs replacing
Really Bad: The whole furnace should probably be replaced

Now I have a dilemma, should I go with my plumbing/heating people who have really good about coming out this winter and only billing me once for it, or should I go with my air conditioning guy who also does heating and has really stood by his air conditioner when it isn't working well and needs maintenance work about twice a summer?

#270 jp:
Umm. Should I be worried? Being unaware is the blissful life. I love that I don't pick up on some things. :)

#271 compski:
I'm sorry it's so cold and that your furnace needs replacing! How many times has your furnace failed this winter? Or the typical winter? How many months are left for this year that you expect to use your furnace before next fall?

Bad news: My kid sister and her friend are making too much noise for Slinky to rest comfortably and sleep. I'm waiting so I can give her flea treatment.

Very good news:
Mission accomplished!! I have officially become the first person in my home to flea treat Slinky! All these months and no one could get near enough to her. Most people aren't brave enough to try. A vet did it for us in July and that was the only time it had been done. We're celebrating over here. ;)

271: It was the non-sequitor that threw me. You were talking about playing with them and all of a sudden they need to be spayed. 8-S

Bad News: My computer is being slowww
Bad News: I didn't get to bed until 11:30 last night because I had to drive my friend home. And I had to wake up at 6am this morning.
Good News: My mom and I have started to repaint her room (so far we have all the primer done and the ceiling).

#274 jp:
Sorry! I only meant the cats had been playing in a box all day. My sister brought clothes over in it last night. You know how all the cat toys have to be tossed by cat paws into the new play place and then fetched out? ;) As for the kittens needing to be spayed, it's been in the back of my mind constantly. Tipi seems to be in heat almost every week. We're baffled why so often but it reminds us that we need to stop procrastinating.

GN: I had my first physical therapy appointment today, and the therapist popped my hip back into place, my whole pelvis and back feel sooooo much better now. I go back on Wed. and then once a week after that.

I'm so glad you're feeling better, riss! I felt awful for your pain yesterday. *hugs*

GN: I finished the stuff I had to get done tonight.
BN: I didn't finish the stuff I merely wanted to get done tonight.
GN: I am now relaxing with a cuppa tea and LibraryThing.
BN: It's almost time for me to go to bed.
GN: It's almost time for me to go to bed.

#277 - rissa
That's great news, I'm very happy for you. Like Kerian, I was feeling awful for you.

GN: Our comedy gig went really well last night. We had new audience members who came up to us afterwards saying how much they'd enjoyed us, and how they couldn't believe they'd not seen us before, etc, which was a good buzz. And all the new material went down very well.

BN: I didn't get to bed until 1.30a.m.
GN: I'm seeing the boy on Thursday - he's coming to my friends portrait unveiling with me.
BN: I'm working til 10pm tonight.

GN: I've got 100 new books in the palm of my hand!

I ordered the DS 100 Classic books. I figured it's a great way of always having something to read with me on my trip, without taking bulky books. And ok, I do already have some of the books which are in it, but I haven't read the vast majority, and it's a flippin' bargian for £15!

Now, my next question is - how best do I enter them on LT?

Riss: I am very glad that you got your hip popped back in. Still sending happy thoughts your way.

LadyN: Congrats on the performance! And on seeing the boy!I am glad things are going so well for you!

GN: Second day of work should be a whole one.
BN: It is freezing out side.
GN: Since I had off work half the day yesterday I got a lot accomplished!
BN: I couldn't sleep last night

Thanks Ms_B! It seems to be a happy time.

GN: There was a package from Indiana waiting for me when I cam in this morning!
BN: I don't want to open it here, because...
BN: I already fell in the snow once today and don't want to have the socks get all wet before I get a chance to wear them.
BN: My knee hurts from the fall.
GN: It's just a contusion, nothing too serious.

284: :facepalm:

LadyN:
I'm glad your gig went so well. Best of luck to your friend's portrain unveiling and may you have a good date. :)

#281 LadyN:
The major question! I wonder if LG cataloges her Kindle books? Maybe she has a suggestion that would work. I think she misses this thread, but perhaps a comment to her. :)

#284 bib:
*hugs* I hope your knee feels better soon.

Good news: My Howl's Moving Castle dvd arrived today.
More good news: I'm getting an ER book from February's batch.

Good News: I don't work until Thursday!
Bad News: My room is messy...
Good News: I renewed some books from the library (Black Powder War and The Secret Life of Bees)

I AM GOING BALLISTICUS!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME!!!! I WENT TO BORDERS TODAY TO GET A LATTE AND I FOUND OUT THAT THOSE SMURFING SMURFERS ARE HAVING A RELEASE PARTY FOR TWILIGHT WHEN I CALLED THEM EXPRESEDLY TO FIND OUT IF THEY WERE HAVING ONE!!!!! THE ARE HAVING AN EFFING PARTY SO NOW I CANT GET MY DVD TIL GOTH KNOWS WHEN!!!! THEY SAID I DIN'T HAVE TO WORRRY I THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO A PARTY SO I WOULD JUST NEED TO SHOW UP EARLY AND I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET MY DVD. I CALLED THEM YESTERDAY!!!! YESTERDAY!!!! AND NOW THE ONLY WAY I FIND OUT IS WITH THE PRINTOUT OF MY RECEIPT!!!!! AND THEN WHEN I WENT BANANAS THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY WERE HAVING FRAKING PARTY. FRAK FRAK FRAK FRAK FRAAAAAAAAAAAAAK !@@##$$%^&^*@!$%^& FRAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!!!!!

I am pissed if you didn't notice........

Tres bad news. Why didn't they tell you when you called them? They should have. I hate when the person you talk to about something is oblivious to what is really going on. Did you preorder? They surely can't give your copy away at the midnight release party if you preorder a copy.

I might be going to a Twilight party but at a co-worker's house.

Of course I can't know for sure, but it's possible that the home office just made the announcement to the stores today. New announcements about events go out daily at Borders.

Suge, did you pre-order/reserve a copy? It shouldn't be too late yet. If you have a copy reserved, it will not matter when you go to get it, they will have to have a copy for you.

#286 - K, that's a good idea. I'll pm LG for suggestions. I know ron has it too, although he didn't mention if he'd catalogued. Ron, are you there? Have you catalogued??

Sugey - I'm very sorry for your troubles. And slightly scared. Although I have learned never to upset you, deliberately or otherwise.

I'm glad your socks arrived Bib!

Breathe Suge! It'll work out. Poor store clerks can't keep up with all the news. Maybe the person you talked to was distracted by a new printing of Deathly Hallows and couldn't be bothered by a Twilight release party. ;)

GN: I'll be home early tonight! Around 6 instead of 9 (or 10:45 like last night). :D
GN: Both pairs of socks have been received. Putting them in the mail makes me a little nervous -- what if they lose the package? I have no faith in the USPS.

#291 LadyN:
I forgot to ask earlier. Is it something inserted into a Nitendo DS? I don't really know about stuff like that. I ask because one of my sisters who loves to read has a Nitendo DS. Sorry if I've just made you silently say, "Huh?" ;)

#292 lefty:
I'm glad you can be worry-free now. I used to get really nervous sending books out in the mail to members of BookMooch for the same reason.

#293 - Yep! It's just like any other game-thingy (!) - you can tell how clued up I am witht hese things too! You just stick it in like normal when you fancy reading, and hold the DS like a book.

Wow! I have to tell her. She hates classics and anything else not modern-day (shocking, isn't it?) but maybe there is something she would read. Thanks, LadyN! :)

GN: I got braces! This is good news because my retainer is finally out and I don't have a lisp anymore.
BN: I got braces :(
BN: They're starting to hurt, and apparently, this isn't the worst of it. Apparently tomorrow will be horrendous...*tun tun tun*

Bib that is exactly what happened. The announcement came literally five minutes before I bought my latte and saw the print-out (I was looking for a coupon, so I always check the second receipt). You can only imagine my distress. I didn't pre-order nor reserve a copy. My drama comes from them not having enough dvd's to meet the demand. I was told I would be ok if I just show up early. Why are they having a party if frack it all no one at the party will be able to get a dvd. frak frak frak.They have to know that the popularity of this series alone would guarantee a huge turnover for them. frackers. I'll be there at 7.45 am on the 20th and if they don't have a copy for me goth help me!!! I will burn their store down!!!! (I will of course come back and erase this message at he time). And then I will boycott them!!!!

I'm sorry I went ballisticus earlier. I am slightly more calm now tho.

No need to be worried, N. I'm usually more happy go lucky about stuff, but this is TWILIGHT so it brings out the worst in me when me someone is trying to stop me from getting my Twilight-on. Also, you know I never take anything seriously. This has to be a first, right? I need a drink.....

#296 picolina:
I recommend soft food for the next few days. Do you have any pain killers? Congrats on no longer having a retainer! :)

GN: I just finished planning my menu for Saturday and emailing my dad the shopping list.
GN: Everything looks pretty simple and delicious. I'm having a Moroccan Feast.

254> Awwww. Soooo cuuuute!

GN: My step-mom is getting me a new phone and a $100 dollar gift certificate for Barnes and Noble!
GN: we got a new Mac computer for the family room/.
BN: I can't figure out how to make the internet screen fit the whole page.

#298 K: Ya, I took some Advil and ate some ice cream. I think that helped a lot, and I ate some soup with potatoes and cheese, so that was good too...

O, I forgot the news bout my cats:

GN: They didn't have ear mites.
BN: Their ears were just really dirty (Well, Elvy's were)
BN: So they had to squirt this cleansing liquid and rub with a cotton swab. She looked so annoyed afterwards, with her ears laid flat and all wet...
GN/FN: The vet is ordering these claw protectors for us. Well, they acutally protect the furniture, but they're plastic molds that go over the claws of the cat. The cats can still do scratching on the post and normal kitty activities, but they don't damage the furniture anymore. I told them to order either pink or purple ones so their claws would match their collars!!!

MrsG is it a laptop? Cuz I have a mac laptop (PowerBook G4) and all I do is drag the bottom right corner of the window down to the bottom of the computer screen. Or you can click on the little green circle at the top left corner. Hope that helps!

Wow that worked!! Thanx pico! It isn't even a laptop!

You're welcome! I wasn't sure cuz I thought maybe there was now a different system with the new computers or something...but I'm glad it worked!

Thanx!

Very Very GN: I am probably going to see RENT at The Pantages Theater in LA on sunday!!! And even if I don't see Rent I will be seeing a play sometime in the near future!!

RENT was a very good show. what company is putting it on? I saw it thru broadway across america

I have seen the movie. I don't know what company is putting it on, but Anthony Rapp(Mark) and Adam Pascal(Roger) from the original Brodway play and the movie are preforming in the show I'm going to.

When we saw it, one of the actresses accidently knocked off her microphone, one of the stage hands grabbed a hand mike and walked right across the stage and handed it to her as if it was in the script, no one missed a beat. thats a good show!

Have fun, MrsG!

GN: I had a really productive day at work today -- I didn't get much done Monday, but feel like I made up for it and got back on track today.
BN: It's cold! I do like cold weather better than warm weather, but I'm starting to feel really ready for spring.
GN: It's supposed to warm up and rain this weekend. Maybe after that I will be able to do more gardening.

Bad News: My computer was being slow (it would seriously take at least 3 minutes for it to load LT. I'm not even kidding)
Good News: I restarted it and it's fine (weird technology)
Bad News: I have to do some AP Comp. and Its 10:35. oh joy.

#291 and #294: Hi LadyN I'm just checking LT right now...sorry for the delay :P.... No I haven't catalogued any of the books but I think that in the future I will and I will just add them and put a "DS" tag...maybe you could do something similar! Oh and I looked in the instructions and they thingies are called Game Cards :P (I knew the name in Spanish and had to look up for the name in English)

GN: I went to a friend's birthday and we got her Twilight and Breaking Dawn (We couldn't find the other ones) but she still loved them and she screamed and jumped from the excitement!
BN: A friend of mine is in the hospital.
GN: It's nothing serious (just an infection and not even the doctor knows how he might have gotten it)
GN: I visited him today and he is much better.
GN/BN: I am substituting him at the school he works for(which is also my school, I mean where I studied 13 years of my life)
BN: I have to get up early.
GN: Just 16 more days (but who's counting?) and I will leave my job!

296- Ouch. Yes, stay away from eating anything remotely hard for the next few days. If your orthodontist has given you wax to put on the braces, that really helps. *passes pico ice cream*

I could never seem to get the wax to stay on my braces, but I find that ice cream is the best medicine.

#299 bib:
It sounds like you have exciting weekend plans!

#301 picolina:
Those are nail tips! I've used them before! Poor Loofy (a boy) had purple nail tips once. ;) You use glue to place them on their nail tips. It takes two or more people to put them on your cats. Like regular cat nails, they shed off. Your vet is right, they are great for furniture! :)

#305 MrsG:
I have at least half of the songs memorized. One of my sisters is a big fan of the musical. Have a good time seeing Rent!

#311 Ron:
I'm glad your friend is doing okay!

#296 RE #313:
I completely agree. Wax didn't stay on my braces at all. My mother on the other hand was a big fan of it when she had her braces.

Good/Bad news: I was surprised with my review at work tonight. (It was early.) It went fine, though there isn't word on any increase in pay until at least Friday.
Bad news: I had my review early because my boss is leaving us on Friday. There isn't a regular replacement for him yet.
Good news: We will at least have a temporary replacement, which is far better than the last time this happened. We were without a manager and a co-manager for a full month a year and a half ago.
Bad news: This has all bummed me out. Plus, I know something that my boss doesn't know that I know. I will be the deliverer of bad news for someone who has been worried about him, which makes me feel awful. A part of me wants to say something to my boss but I know I cannot. It isn't my place to.

That's tough on you Kerian. I hope you feel a bit better about it all soon, and that the pressure is taken off you somehow. xx

297 - sugey, you don't scare me really. Not much anyway ;-)

311- ron, great idea about entering the books and tagging with DS. Why didn't I think of that??

GN: I've been on here more than I anticipated I would be!
BN: Can't think of any right now, which is really GN!

BN: My kitty is mad at me cause I am not home during the day anymore.
GN: Yesterday was a good day. A am hoping today will be just as good or maybe better
GN: I really like my new center and the people are relly nice.

News: If you rememeber, our part of our back yard is wooded area. Since we've cut down 2 more trees in our front yard (they were badly damaged in the ice storm and we're replacing them with stronger trees), I have to take the boys to the back yard. Which is fine. Except at night. When strange noises come from the woods. Like foot steps of some unknown animal. That could jump out at any time. In the dark.......

Ack! I had 'puter problems yesterday and now I'm really far behind. I will work on catching up.

GN: I'm getting my new vehicle tomorrow to replace my truck. It's a new to me Expedition. I'm not too hot on Fords, being a Chevy kind of girl but the thing can seat 8 which is what I wanted. 8) So excited! I've been without transportation for a month whenever Rob is at work. I still miss my truck. Though, even I have to admit that it's sad when a huge SUV still gets better gas mileage than my truck did. 8^/

Exactly, N. I'm the sweetest person on the plannet.

319 - I know you are dear.

Bad News: I won't get out of school until 2:05. I have precalc last period though, so that is somewhat entertaining... depending on my mood.

GN: There is a new girl starting at work next thurs so I won't have to work 7 day weeks any more
BN: A lot less money

GN: There is only 2 weeks to go till our cat has kittens and we've already got homes lined up for them all
BN: I was really sick yesterday and throwing up a lot

GN: I'm feeling better now.

OMG OMG OMG GUYS!! WE LIVE IN SUCH A WONDERFUL WORLD!!! GUESS WHAT!! YESTERDAY, WHEN THE SALES CLERK FROM BORDERS SAW HOW UPSET I WAS, HE DECIDED TO GIVE HIS COPY!!!!! I WENT TO GET MY DAILY LATTE TODAY, AND HE CAME UP TO ME AND TOLD ME!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I ALMOST FLIPPED OUT BUT I COULDN'T BECAUSE MY HANDS WERE FULL!!!! SO I JUST GAVE HIM A HUG!!! *HUGS ALL AROUND!!!*

KIK
So this is excited suge, not mad suge. The difference is the usage of all the EEEEEEEEEEEEEE's!

I'm excited for you too suge!

#323-Sooo...when's the wedding? :o)

lol, dont start JP! Next thing you know this will get on the rumor thread somehow! people will be throwing me a wedding shower and stuff....

#324--> he he he I did come off a little bipolar didn't I? ha ha also notice the use of copious expletives in the rage scene.

#326: Your wish has been granted.

RE #324: That's another good difference. :D

#315 LadyN:
Thank you. *hugs*

#316 Bella:
I can recall the feeling. Your kitty will forgive you! I'm happy the center is working out so well. :)

#317 kirby:
Sounds scary! Do you have a light on your back porch? In addition to having that, I would bring a very good flash light when walking Kirby and Finnegan at night.

#318 MEM:
I'm happy you won't be without a car anymore soon. :)

#322 Luna:
I'm sorry you weren't feeling well yesterday. How exciting, though - new kittens. How long after they're born will they be going to their new homes? I think a kitten I gave away last year was maybe two-ish months old.

#323 suge:
That was nice of him!

Bad news, but not for me:
My sister hasn't seen her roommate around for an entire week. We're hoping he's not in a hospital. (He has a medical condition.) The really bad part on top of that is he has the absolute sweetest cat in the world that is hungry, lonely, and has no one to take care of him. (I met him on Saturday, can you tell? ;)
Good news:
My sister has been letting him into her part of the house (she only rents a room with it's own entrance) and been feeding him. She wants to either bring him to our house or borrow one of our cats so he'll have a friend because she can't be there much on weekdays. Neither is much an option. I would so bring him home if I could, though! :(

#328 K, RE: #317- Yes we have a light, but it doesn't reach to the woods. Dad also just changed it to a motion sensor light, so when you're out of range it goes off. I need to put a flash light by the door so I don't forget it. I have one by the front door, but it's going out.

I hate that about motion sensor lights. We have one in each of our yards as well. It definitely wouldn't hurt to have two flashlights, one by each door. If you get to be really concerned, I would even consider putting another form of light up but further from the house into your yard.

I keep a small flashlight in my purse on the days that I work at night just in case. I don't use it but it's a comfort. I joke that I can hit someone over the head with it if need be.

Yay! MEM will have a car again! Now she can can tote me around!

*considers leaving rumour but decides that the phrase "tote-bag" could be taken the wrong way*

>#330:

BN: I don't feel good and I am cranky.
GN: Today was great again! I am really loving this new center!

#332 MrA:
Alas, I don't count that kind. ;) I do have two of those on my keys, however. The blue one is much brighter than the clear one.

#333 Bella:
*hugs* Feel better I hope!

#312 cat: Ya, I got some wax, and it stays on pretty well. But I have one question though...well, several actually, all concerning the wax. Does it matter if you swallow it, like, will anything happen to you? Can you eat with it on? Can you sleep with it on?

GN: Weather was warm-er.
BN: I think I'm getting a cold. Hopefully not though.*crosses fingers*
GN: I'm having a sleepover on Friday with my friends, and we'll have a scary movie marathon and maybe watch legally blond. Oh, and we'll go in her hot tub!

#335 picolina:
I'm going to answer for or in addition to cat answering your questions. :)
Nothing will happen to you if you swallow the wax. Don't worry. I do advise removing it before eating, but simply because who wants to eat wax? (Now I am thining of people eating candles. You know, the kind that people say are good enough to eat. ;) You can definitely sleep with the wax on your braces. Make sure it's on your braces really good.
I hope you have a great time on Friday! :)

Thanx K! The questions weren't directed to anyone specifically, I was just looking for advice. But thanks a lot, I was worrying about what would happen if I swallowed it. And I get the mental picture of someone's mouth being wide open and eating a candle. hehehe

#335: Legally Blonde.....very scary!! I remember having nightmares after I first saw it ;)...Just kidding....Have a great time with your friends pico!

Very GN: I had just had sooo much fun at the bookstore. I had 125$ worth of gift cards to spend there and I got:

A Pink CD.
The Special Anniversary Edition os Sorcerer's Stone.
Little, Big
The Book of Lost Things
Impulse
and
Lock and Key

It was so awesome. After I bought all of them I just walked around the bookstore and let people be jelouse of my awesome purchases. And I still have $20.36 left to spend.

I wish I had $125 to spend at a bookstore =

Good News:I went to youth group with my friend and it was wonderful =

Why doesn't anyone ever give ME a bookstore giftcard??? Oh well. Back to spending my husband's money.

#335: I'm no expert, but I think if you swallow wax it goes to your ears.
And your lips. :o)

#337 picolina:
You're welcome!

#339 MrsG:
Do you mean to say that if one of us by chance were in that bookstore you wanted us to fee very jealous? ;) Goodness, what an amount on your giftcard! Congrats on your book and cd finds. :)

pico, if you swallow the wax your stomach will dissolve it, and some of it may be digested, but there is absolutely nothing that will happen to you if you swallow it. in fact, there is actually wax on or in several foods you eat already. I would take the wax off when you eat, unless there is a spot that is rubbing really painfully, in which case you can just make sure that it's on really well.

GN: I saw the most fantastic play last night, starring Juliet Stevenson (Truly Madly Deeply). She was just incredible.
BN: It made me very emotional, and I'm still sort of feeling it today. That's good theatre for you.
BN: I'm exhausted.
GN: I've just had a cupcake. Not just any cupcake, oh no. A cupcake from the Primrose Bakery, on the corner of Catherine Street/Tavistock Street (for your future reference, should you need to find it). I swear, these cupcakes are made in heaven's own kitchen.
BN: I am addicted to said cupcakes. No good can come of this.

Now I want cupcakes and good theatre. I am unlikely to get either.

GN: I get to see my family this weekend
GN: it's for my sister's birthday!
GN: The weather should be great!
GN: I'm finally catching up at work!
BN: my boss just bought another building so when we take over running that building i'll be behind again.

ETA: More GN: One year ago today, Bib and I joined LT.

Happy LT anniversary to Mandy and BIB!

BN: i have to go to the bathroom but dont feel like getting up
GN: SATs are over tomorrow!
GN: i dont need to go to the bathroom anymore :) *Guys, tottally kidding*

Are the SATs not on Saturdays anymore?

They still are where I am at 8)

The SAT-10 (or 8 or 9 tests) are also given during school sessions. These are grade level tests given throughout the state, as well as end of course exams (also know as EOC exams). SAT tests take anywhere from 2-5 days depending on the grade level and what the state mandates to be tested.

Bib and Mandy Bib congrats!!! the LT gods rejoiced the day you guys joined.

Awww....you're so sweet! Thanks suge!

Sure, sure.

But its the truth, dude.

I second that. There is no one better! Who else would let me get them lost in Central Park? Aside from compski, suge, and Kerian?

*warm fuzzies*

Awwwe I'm getting all teary eyed at work now. JP you can get me lost anytime!!

Wasn't that the perfect day?? I was thinking about someone Harry Potter portrain missing the scar.....

KIK! Yes, you were unbelievable with that suge!

hey if you are going to draw Harry and sell his portrait, shouldn't you get it right?

8) GN: It's a lovely day!
BN: I have a cold and can't take medicine for it.

A late congrats to Bib and Mandy. Where would we be without you. I will get lost in Central Park anytime with all of you!

Has it really been a year since I was thinking, "Who is this bib person who posts so much!" ;) I loved seeing your stats from back then!

Happy LT anniversary, mandy and bib!

#360 suge:
Harry is quite happy to have his scar and thanks you for it, I'm sure. I will have to ask the portrait on the wall.

#361 MEM:
Feel better soon, I hope!

Bad news:
Tipi has always been thin, but we think she lost weight. Her bones show and we wonder if she hasn't been eating the last few days. She walked right away from breakfast this morning.

Happy anniversay Mandy-Bib!!!

Hope tipi is feeling better soon K :-(

Thank you, LadyN. I hope so, too. She is so much thinner than her sister. Granted, they have different hair types so that's one of the reasons. However, it makes her look like a younger kitten. She is running around playing like mad so she seems content. She isn't good at letting people know if she's in discomfort though, an example being when she had problems with her mouth in the past. Her lip was periodically swollen but a vet treated it and it's been absent ever since. We're going to try some cat sip (milk for cats). If she drinks it perhaps it is a tooth problem.

That guy was lucky I didn't punch him in the face for swidleling my friend. But I was really nice about it.

btw how did any of you know what "I was thinking about someone Harry Potter portrain missing the scar" means? I don't.

Good News: No homework!
Bad News: I work tonight. I wish there was a job where you just read books all day.

GN: I feel very smiley today, and not just because I've been drinking wine while at work. The guy I've started dating came with me to the portrait unveiling and was just wonderful. He talked to all my friends, and made such an effort. I'm so happy.

#367 mindy:
Wouldn't we all love that. :)

#368 LadyN:
Yey! *hugs*

Yeah LadyN!

Good/Bad: I have a new furnace! I woke up Monday with no heat and they finally figured out why I have been having so much trouble all winter. It would have been a little cheaper to fix it, but there were other things that were wearing out, too, and in the end this will be cheaper and easier.
Good: It is really quiet and seems to heat up the house faster
Bad: The bill will be coming soon.

#366: We speak suge of course!
#367: Become a book reviewer, okay, you also have to write and meet deadlines, but you get to read a lot!
#368: That's awesome! Caring about how you come across to the buds is always a good sign!

Yay! I'm glad he's making such an effort! (and he should be for you ladyN!)

N. he sounds perfect!!!! See??? HEG's do exist!!

YAY perfect people! LOL

Bad News: I'm ill and I'm whining about it. 8(
So if I miss any important things today, sorry! 8)

BN: Didn't sleep well last night, for a variety of reasons (including a restless puppy, stayed up late talking to Espy and even later reading, and an alarm clock that went off, inexplicably, at 8 am). So I will probably be tired all day.
GN: I planted peas in my garden! I may have to cover them up if it gets really cold again, but I think they will be okay. I decided to work in my garden since I was up, and since the weather is so lovely today.

#374: I'm sorry you are ill MEM, Have you taken anything?....

#375: Foggi: Sorry that you had a bad night's sleep, and I'm happy to hear about your garden expansion!

GN: My old school has a deal with one of the local bookstores and they bring books in English to my city to encourage the students to read books in english....I went to the bookstore and got The Tale of Despereaux, The Phantom of the Opera, Mister Monday and The Sea of Monsters.
BN: They didn't have The Lightning Thief (first part of The Sea of Monsters ).
GN: I think I can tell the mom of a friend to get it in another city in my country.
GN: I have a birthday party tonight! But I will still miss being with you guys in the GMW and to all of those participating tonight: Have a great time and I hope you enjoy the movie! (How could you not? It's OotP after all :P)

ETA: a missing "T"

Hope you feel better soon MEM!

GN: I had a great time at the sleepover...we played karaoke and went in the hot tub.
BN: In the morning we watched One Missed Call, and now I'm really freaked out. I don't wanna use my phone lol.

Good News: Work went well.
Bad News: Feet hurt.
Good News: I don't work for 2 days at least (I get my schedule Monday).

#374 --> *handshake for MEM*

#375 --> I hope you get better sleep tonight, foggi!

#376 --> I'm glad you were able to get some books, Ron. Have a good time at the party.

#377 --> I've never seen that movie. Hopefully it wasn't too scary.

#378 --> I hope your feet feel better, mindy. Also, enjoy your two days off!

Good news: I have today off work.
Bad news: I'm spending the day doing laundry which has caused me to become frantic over possibly very well owning more than one-hundred pairs of socks.
Good news: Lots of baking! (I love to bake but usually have very little time for it.)

Exciting News: My parents usually work in the summer, which leaves me with nothing to do. But this year, my grandmas (both of them) are coming over from Mexico!!!!! My dad's gonna go get them in July. And what's more, since I'm gonna be outta school by then, he said I could go with him!!!! It's awesome cuz he has a conference somewhere in California first and we'll spend a couple of days there and then we'll go to Los Mochis, where his mom lives, and spend a couple of days there, and then we'll go to Orizaba, where my mom's mom lives, and we'll spend a couple of days there, and then we'll come home! That should take bout 2 weeks, and then my grandmas will be here for 2 weeks and then my dad's mom and I are gonna go to Saskatoon for 2 weeks (where I usually go in August to do a 2 week drama camp)!!!! I was so happee when he told me I could come because I thought I was gonna be bored here and I was jealous of him being the only one able to go, but he told me he thought it'd be a good idea if I went!!!!

Congrats, picolina! It sounds like you will have a great summer. :)

Ohh that sounds fun pico! I hope you have fun this summer!

Good News: Bedtime. I'm tired.

#378: Hope you can rest and relax your feet on these 2 free days, mindy!

#380: It's great you have plans for the summer you are looking foward to pico! and it's also great you get to see your grandparents!

GN: My friend gave me 2 of the 3 books I ordered from the states, which are Harry, a History and The Book of Lost Things...and she gave me one of the 2 bottles of cologne I ordered too.
GN: The other book and cologne will arrive probably on Thursday...Yayy
GN: I had a great time at the party!

BN: My sister is sick.
BN: I think im getting it
GN:... Im not sure.......

Feel better, puppet family!

Bad News: Taxes

Good News: Refund

Bad News: Headache

Great News: My friend and I are participating in the regional science fair. It's on April 4th, and we weren't sure what to do. We wanted it be something about horses, but we couldn't figure out what. Well, yesterday I was browsing through my horse encyclopedia and guess what page I landed on? The page that explains the horses senses! So we decided we'd test her horse's sense of smell by covering her (the horse's) eyes and holding an apple or something some distance away. As soon as the horse got within a meter of us, we'd move further. We figured at the same time we'd be testing the horse's sense of hearing too. Then we'll record our observations and make a backboard and all!!!

Oh! That sounds cool pico!

Good News: This weekend I'm going to an FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) State conference with 3 friends and we'll all be sharing a room. It will be funn =D

Just a thought, pico, but wouldn't it be easier to do something like hide the apple in a box? You could test whether the horse can tell which of several boxes the apple is in and you could double box or wrap the apple to see how well the horse can sense it through multiple layers. I just think it would be safer than trying to lead a blindfolded horse.

I hope you're feeling better soon, puppet.

Bad news:
I thought I wasn't going to meet my temporary boss until tomorrow and had a scary morning when I found out I would meet her in only a matter of minutes.
Good news:
I received high praise from different people including our new temporary boss all day.
More good news:
I just finished the most amazing book, but I will go to the March thread for that.
Sad news:
I'm very aware of what today is. (It would be better to not ask.)

Hugs K xx

GN: The twins are here! They were born at 2:58 and 3:00 PT on Saturday afternoon.
BN: They are a month early, so they are not fully developed. They are in the neonatal unit in Tacoma.
GN: That means they're getting the best of care. They're ready to come into this world. They've been trying to for the last month!

I'm a double aunt!!!!

Congratulations Aunty Kirby!!!!! Lots of love and cuddles and happy noises to you, and a big WELCOME to the twins!!

Warning for others: Careful about typing "twins" into google image search...!!!

LadyN, don't you know what happened last time we were warned not to google search something?

Congrats Kirby!! I want twins! (At least, I think I do ... this is probably ignorant wishing though.)

GN: Spring break is next week!

BN: Work as usual this week. :/

Well, yes, but I never got to see that!

This isn't too bad...you can probably imagine.

Snow Day! Thank goodness! We got well over a foot of heavy snow last night. It took me over half an hour to get out of the shared driveway and that was after someone else had already broken trail. Where the plow had come by it was higher than the hood of my car.

Congrats Aunt Kirby!

Double Congratulations kirby!!

#395: "Got to" is not really a phrase I would use in that particular circumstance.

Congratulations Kirby! It is now your job to be willing to do just about anything your niece and nephew demand. Mandy and I discovered this this weekend...or maybe Zachary discovered it.....

Ok, I'll re-phrase... I never had the misfortune of seeing that!

Well if you're desperate Lady, I could PM a description of what you missed. MsD would do it, but she always bursts out laughing to even think of it. :o)

*sighs* I remember the first time I had a Google search that went astray. I still carry the scars. LOL

#401: JP for the love of humanity please don't scar LadyN too! It's been so hard to get that image out of my head.....

LOL! Sorry Ron! I will try to behave myself. :o)
I am just very thankful there were no children looking over my shoulder when that page came up. I really need to put a filter on the google search engine. *mental note to ask hubby about that.*

Don't worry LadyN. I missed it too, and they're not spilling the beans about it.

Thanks everyone! Yes bib, I am fully prepared to spoil them. They're not my kids. ;)

I don't know what you guys are searching for, but this is the 1st image when I googled twins:

Do you live far from them kirby? Because the farther away you are, the harder you have to work to spoil them. My nephews are in CA. I don't think I'm spoiling them enough.

Yes, very far. It's about a 31 hour drive. Google Maps says that I could get there in 28 days and 13 hours if I walk.

408: is that all? no problem...start walking they'll see you in less than a month!!

Good point about the being far away. While Mandy and I certainly do buy him stuff to spoil him, I think he's even more happy that we're practically his puppets. He decides something he did deserves applause, so he starts clapping and looks at Mandy and me, who immediately join in...that sort of thing. We're well rewarded with hugs and blown kisses though!

Aw, I remember when my kids were that cute! He sounds like he is in my very favorite stage!

#408-You made me curious. It's about a 42 hour drive to get to my sister. I wonder if they allow for bathroom breaks?

#411: Definitely! I used to teach day care and he's currently at the age I taught most often, which is the toddler stage. He's 17-months-old at the moment, that age where he seems to learn something new everyday. Most recently he's started joining in with the E-I-E-I-O part of Old MacDonald. He's also very into dogs and bears. This weekend he got to spend a lot of time with Mandy's dog Pepper, who is one of those dogs who's ridiculously good with kids. They were adorable! She let him pet her belly and he wanted to give her lots of hugs. At one point they both just leaned in and put their foreheads together for a moment. Unfortunately, no one managed to get a picture!

She's exhausted now though, while she great with kids, she also needs to investigate every noise he made espicially that bad ones. "sniff sniff, looks around ummm people he doesn't seem ok someone fix him!" Of course she was usually what helped him forget he was upset.

#390 LadyN:
Thank you.

#391 kirby:
Congratulations! I hope they're doing well! :)

#394 lefty:
Spring break already?? When is Easter?

#396 compski:
Enjoy your snow day!

#407 jp:
You could always visit them and possibly some others in CA. ;)

Western Easter is April 12 this year.

#408 I don't know exactly where they live, but Tacoma is about a 5.5 hour drive from me.

my spring break is next week too.

GN: Home from work. Eating potato chips. Lovely weather. Espy and MrsE ran the carpet cleaner while I was at work. Life is good.

377---> I saw that a few months ago and it freak me out too. I'm an avid lover of horror films. I consider myself pretty tough to scare (on film DONOT SNEAK UP ON ME AND SAY "BO!" You know what will happen), but there was something about that film that got to me.

GOOOOOOOOD NEWSSSSSSSSSS: I GOT MY BONUS!!! I GOT MY BONUS!!!!!!!!!

BN: The IRS got almost half of it. The smurfers.....

#412 jp: Probably not. You have to hold it all the way there.

#417 rissa: They just moved to Aberdeen (sp?)

*claps excitedly with suge*

my aunt lives in that area. a little farther from where I live, but if you were driving to visit them my place could be on the way (depending on which interstate you used)

Congrats aunt Kirby!!!!

#388 JP: Hmmm, that is a really good idea! I told my friend about my concerns that the horse might panic, and she said she could desensitibilize it or something. I asked her what it meant and she said if for example you tied a horse's feet together, you worked around it until the horse was comfortable with it. So we'd work until her horse was comfy with being blindfolded. But your idea's a really good one JP, thanx!

GN: I rearranged my room!

#416 bib:
Thank you! My kittens were born on Easter last year. I stupidly realize now this is not like how my sister whose birthday is on Halloween will always fall on Halloween. *googles* Okay,their birthday is March 23rd. I feel so silly now.

#420 suge:
I know you said smurfers but I know you too well and can hear you saying something else in my head. ;) I'm sorry they stole half your bonus, but yey, a bonus! :)

Bad news:
I almost lost my work money today because someone I wish to call an idiot filled a box with products in it with empty cardboard pieces that were in tight. Since this is something we normally do with empty boxes, I took it to be put outside.
Good news:
The box fell. And voila. Products on the floor, no longer causing shrink. I couldn't believe someone was that unintelligent. I've told someone about it to speak with that person about it so it won't happen again.

BN: My knuckles (left hand, middle and ring finger) are bruised. I took Finnegan's leash off and the metal part whipped back and hit me. It's one of those retractable leashes.

GN: The swelling has gone down.

Ouch! *Hugs for kirby*

Oh, Kirby! That used to happen tome all the time! Now that I have two dogs I can't use retractable...

K: I know you too well and can hear you saying something else in my head. What are you saying? *hides smile*

*grabs suge's head and shouts in her ear*

SMURFITY-SMURFITY-SMURF-SMURF-SMURF!

(Sorry to other HEers for any falling pianos. A joke. ;)

Oooo, ouch kirby! Hope it gets well soon!

GN: We got our report cards today and my average in 87.8%.
GN: I haven't gone down since last term.
BN: I haven't gone up either.
GN: I'm still above average!

BN: I have fallen under the spell that is The Mocha.

GN: I love it.

Bad news: I ate part of a cookie not knowing there was coconut in it.
Good news: Maybe, just maybe it is shrimp that I'm so allergic to. I had both one night over the summer and never found out which caused an allergic reaction.
Fingers are crossed, though the allergies are nothing serious compared to the allergies of some people.

*sips more mocha*

I hope you don't break out in hives or get a swollen tongue K!

New thread here

KIK. Thanks, MrsG! It won't be anything that dramatic.

I hope everyone is doing well. I am sorry I can't respond to everyone real quick but I don't have any time.

BN: My Computer crashed last thursday (this is why I have been MIA)
BN: I can't get ahold of my computer guy. Therefore I am not sure when I will be able to get back online.
BN: This means I can't do my homework either, and I miss you guys so much!!!!!
GN: I have been spending the time I am usually online reading.

Thats all the good news. I just wanted to pop in real quick and let you guys know what happened and say hi and I miss you all! Hope to be on again soon but only time will tell xoxo

*hugs for bella*

We miss you! I hope we'll be able to have you back soon!

Kerian means IX, not IV.
You really had me confused there, K!

No, you see I was repairing this thread. It was an IV. :)

Fixed now! ;)

And now it's ahead of the other thread again. :o)

How many heads does the other thread have??

I don't know. What was in the IV you gave it?

Just milk and some cloned cheerios.

In that case it has one head.

And a million eyes.

All staring. At you.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

*flees the thread shouting something about Aragog*

BN: i cant find the Rants thread!!! im gonna rant here, sorry, i need to vent. :)
BN: My best friend hates me because i dont like Twilight :((((

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that puppet. I have friends that think I'm weird cuz I like HP (they claim they just "weren't able to get into it" when I'm sure they haven't even given it a shot.) It sucks but trust me, it'll pass. Just don't say stuff that might insult her, like "Twilight sucks." or "I can't believe you like those stupid books." Maybe if you found books or movies that you both love and talked about them you'd find you similarities instead of your differences.

thanks, picolina. I was crying when i wrote that, but now were good. I aways say "Twilight sucks". Heh heh but she knows that i dont like it. Her friends started beating up on me, me pushing back, but my friend kept with her other friends. i was so mad, but were ok :))

^Good News!

To avoid any confusion, the newest, roomiest Good News, Bad News IX
