May- New Beginnings - New Board

White wine, sure. Red wine gives me a headache. But I really prefer the Comfort. 8-)

You would not believe what Shelby did last night. :shock:

What did that horrible kid do this time? :x

That rotten kid voluntarily took Killian last night and fed him his dinner, then put him down to nap. So I could nap. I asked if she was feeling okay, and she said, "well, you look so tired and I know you only slept 3 hours last night, so I thought I'd help". :shock:

Did I mention "voluntary"? And at no point did she try to renege. Amazing. I actually got a 3 hour nap, with no interruptions! :D

Someone slipped her some blue kool aid. What happened to our Shelby?? That's not her, she's been replaced!! :shock: :shock:

I checked for tell-tale alien pod slime or needle marks, I found nada.

I think she might actually be growing up. :o

I may cry

OMG! Hippie a cooperative daughter? Is there such a rare beast?

You should write a book if she does this more than twice and the results are reproducible :o .

Hope you marked that shit on your calendar dude. Always note that stuff like "This day in history!"

Hey all.

Hello my darling pal! :D

I'm bored

Me too

Waiting for the Reaper finale.....just had dinner.

How are you today?

Tired, work was rough with boss being out and surveyors come in tomorrow for 2 days, they aren't medicaid so that is good. Stupid transportation company told me they arent' driving my folks anymore, which I about had a coronary.

Just seriously tired.

Oh and my boss is in NY, so I am in charge with the surveyors.

:shock: Ok its official, you need the shot of Southern Comfort.

yea will have some this weekend. Plus my sunburn still friggin hurts like hell

Did you get some Noxema? or Aloe? Take plain old aspirin for it too.

aloe, aspirin.... onlyh one section hurts now. I'm going to try to sleep it off. blurgh

RAMONES WROTE:OMG! Hippie a cooperative daughter? Is there such a rare beast?

You should write a book if she does this more than twice and the results are reproducible :o .

Ahahaha! Well, the conditions remain the same (I'm always sleep-deprived) but there may be too many confounding variables, like the day of the week, Shelby's everchanging diurnal cycle, she might've had a fight with a friend, etc. May have to be a qualitative study. :P

Nora-it was historical for sure. I'll never forget it. 8-)

Three words:

wine for everyone!

hellooooooooo.....

Is it normal for a refrigerator to stop working properly after 6 years? Damn fridge part is barely cold but the freezer is fine. :evil: I'm so pissed off about this....I hate added stupid expenses.

*waves to Hawk*

Nora - ... no, 6 years is a bit short. Is the door closing properly?

Yeah far as I could tell. last night I could hear it making this weird knocking sound, it was a sound that I didnt like, then I checked it and everything felt warmish, I was pissed. :evil:

Crap. I was hoping that maybe one cooling unit couldn't go out without the other one busting, too.

Yeah freezer seems to be fine. Just another expense :cry:

I sorry. Can I add to the gripe/bitch fest??? Granted, mine isn't quite so practical.

Please do.

Barry is going home at 3, the repair dude is coming between 4-7. Talk about a window. :roll:

Manchester won the Champions League. Normally I'd be happy but Chelsea's manager is Avraham Grant, an Israeli. I'm dying to hear what Selz has to say...

Hey all............

hola punkin!

Hola! Been catching up on the last three episodes of House. So sad. But good. whatcha doing

Watched Top Chef and just hoping my fridge doesnt blow up. Seems to be fine now, the guy cleaned it out, the coils were clogged. :oops:

Tony!!!!!

Hi Aeryn!

Nora - oh thank GOD... I was hoping it would be something "easy" like that.

I can't remember what I was gonna gripe about cuz my workday went to hell in a handbasket after I posted that. :x

Hey everyone,

Hope that everyone is well.

Happy Thursday!!!

One more day to go and it's a three day weekend!! YAY!!! :D

Definitely need a three day weekend. Better a four day weekend ;)

Help. :shock:

Hey Hippie

how is it going?

What's wrong?

Oh, better now, I am taking a break. I was being verbally accosted by one of those people who make bizarre decisions and start every interaction in a defensive state, and it's everyone else's fault. "I went there for help, they yelled at me and called me a bum", "I can't get help there because I'm not 60", "I'm not going to take food out of my disabled son's mouth by using his food stamps for me, so I eat out of dumpsters".....so on and so forth. It's very taxing to get that early in the day. ;)

How are you? Happy Thursday to you as well! :)

I'm doing good here just taking it easy since my boss will probably not be in today. ;)

You should have told that person to become a freegan. :P

i think that this is F'in cool

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/05/22/scope.project/index.html

Bahahaha! He is a freegan, sort of. :lol: Lucky you, no boss today. Mine has been gone for three days (we hosted a conference) and now is back. Le sigh. You have plans for the three-day weekend?

So lucky no boss for the beginning of the week, but at least you might get out early on Friday and three day weekend ;)

No plans as of yet. I might go see IJ4 over the weekend or maybe Iron Man. I don't know yet.

LONEWOLF WROTE:i think that this is F'in cool

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/05/22/scope.project/index.html

AWESOME!!!! You and Selz could totally meet up! 8-)

I'd go see both movies. If I had a babysitter. You know what movie I DID get a babysitter for though?

Hippie - will you be getting a babysitter for Sex and the City?

Who knows about that just a big ocean and just a telescope :P

Yeah, I did. However did you guess? ;) I told Danny and Shelby, "I'm going to the early show with Laura and we're having Cosmos, talk amongst yourselves to arrange babysitting, thank you!" :lol:

As a New Yorker, are you sick of the SATC hype yet?

I haven't even heard the hype about it here as of yet. I know that there have been some news articles about it though.

Of course, I think the hype might be big in some other neighborhoods in lower Manhattan though ;)

LOL I like that leave Danny and Shelby to discuss it among themselves.

Shelby not going?

How many times will you see it?

Dude, my best friend had a baby 2 months after me, we NEVER get to do anything just the two of us. Especially since her baby gets sick a lot. Shelby does not watch SATC, she was too young when it was on, plus she's not too inerested. She's still into the anime/manga.

We'll probably get to see it once, but you know as soon as it's on DVD, I'm getting it. :P

I wish I understood better the differences between Lower Manhattan, Upper Manhattan, etc. I kinda get the burough thing. Kinda. :lol:

You both definitely need to go out and have some fun especially after giving birth. The two of you really deserve it.

I'm going to assume that DVD will be seen many times. :P ;)

There is really not that much difference. Each neighborhood has their distinct personality. In Lower manhattan you have the Village and Universities very liberal spots but also City Hall, Chinatown and Wall Street is in Lower manhattan as well so it's a nice blend.

Then midtown you have all the businesses and such and then the Upper Manhattan you have mix of people with Harlem and Spanish Harlem and then there is the Upper West Side that is where you have cultural and liberal activist are in and the Upper East Side where is mostly the rich people live.

That's pretty much Manhattan in a nutshell mostly. A nice mix and blend of people ;)

LONEWOLF WROTE:You both definitely need to go out and have some fun especially after giving birth. The two of you really deserve it.

Thank you! :D

LONEWOLF WROTE:I'm going to assume that DVD will be seen many times. :P ;)

Hell yeah! :lol:

Thank you for explaining the differences.....I hate to say this, but every time I watch something set in NYC, it all looks the same to me. :oops: I need to visit NYC! It still boggles my mind that so many people live in such a small space; I think we have a couple million fewer people here in Houston, but Houston is spread all over the place. If you don't have a car, you're not getting too far here. It must be awesome to live somewhere where you can get around without a vehicle. you should've seen people's reactions to finding out Danny didn't know how to drive when he got here. :lol:

Yeah, you definitely should, there are differences in each neighborhood and each one have their own style and such.

It boggles my mind how many people live here. :shock: Trains are crowded and it is definitely not worth having a car here with traffic, lack of parking space, garage prices are high, insurance is high and such. It's not worth having a car here. If you live in the other four boroughs a car will definitely be needed.

I can imagine the surpirse that they will have. It is usually the norm to have a car.

I read in Japan that they hire people to push people inside the train. They do that here and that's a fight waiting to happen :lol:
