I gave my dogs haircuts & trimmed their nails today.

Adam Carolla went on a passionate spiel on the beauty of how much totalled up time he shaves off of pressing buttons and waiting for his reheated food by just pressing the same 'second' button twice, or something like that, and then start. Those seconds might just break even with his "total time angrily bloviating about saving time" seconds.


Ha! I do that too. Why move your finger all the way over to the zero when it won't make much difference to your foods heat?

Bloviating.. That's going straight on my [imaginary] list of favourite words. Another favourite is monomaniacal.

My tooth has been killing me all day. It needs to be removed, but I can't afford it. :(

And, because my tooth is hurting so bad, I can't tell how the Klonopin with the Adderall works together, because all I can feel is this splitting headache on the right side of my head near my temple. http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/6064/frowny.gif

I can't promise this will work - but it did for me. If you have liquid benadryl (kids) - dip a qtip in it and rub around the area, on the tooth if you can tolerate.
If you have it in a pill form - crush or open capsule, mix with a tiny bit of water to make a paste. Apply to tooth and area around.

It does something to numb the nerves.

I'm eating Chinese food....and it's GOOD!

i have 2 cats but they do not like me

I never put rounded numbers into the microwave. So what if I want to warm my tea for 64 seconds?

Way to fight the system. :D:D:p

I never drink tap water.

I never drink tap water.

Why? LOL

I like to challenge people with the whole bottled water thing.
If you ever get a chance watch Tapped (I know it's on Netflix)

I don't drink bottled water, I drink spring water from this park nearby that lets water customers fill as many jugs as they want for a quarter a gallon. It's very fresh. :D

I don't particularly care for the taste of the water that comes out of the sink. I think ours tastes slightly salty and weird. The bottled water tastes odd too. I mean I'll drink tap if I'm at a restaurant, but I can always tell when it's tap water.

And also, at the risk of sounding uncool, you just never know what weird chemicals and things are in that tap water. :p

That is awesome that you have a natural spring available to you!

I'll agree - natural spring water is better than tap water.

But tap water is better than bottled in most cases. ;)

nah your right tap water is so nasty compared to spring water and the one you mentioned, on a random note i am enjoying a smoothie for the first time in years and its awesome

and on a note that may make me seem full of myself =-P 100 posts in 2 days in 2 more posts im sure it may be a little over on the time but still just thought id throw that out there

sorry to do this here but i can find no spot more worthy but ya i made it... sorry but i must bask in the glory for it is like watching the kilometers on a car roll over to 100000 to me... anyways ever notice theres so many similar threads with minor differences (i wouldnt be suprised if that statements around somewhere else) probably just worded differently what a silly thing of me to make a bigger deal out of then matters, so sue me =P

Yer having fun, huh toothpick? ;)

Yup - I noticed that too. And I'll go to ask a question or say something, search a little first, find it, and my intended post just goes out the window. :p

i went home sick today :(

but i also got some well-neede rest and feel better now :D

I am considered a glorious beacon of light on ADDforums (it's just all candy).:)

It's 11:11 on 2/11/11. Wee!

When I was a kid, I was kinda interested in seeing the time go to 11:11.

I've made a fairly smooth transition with my internship supervisor.

I don't believe impulsivity is always bad/harmful.

As a kid I would practice my signature on paper, just in case I would become famous one day.

Without having learned, I rush to instruct.

When I was a kid (like maybe 5 and older), I would sometimes pretend my life was a movie or show. I can remember being in school and while last in line leaving the class room, I'd turn around and smile at the invisible camera. :p

It's 11:11 on 2/11/11. Wee!

um...actually, it was 1:11. sorry to break the party. lol :D

My signature is indistinguishable from my printed name, and neither stays constant day to day. Or even sentence to sentence.

Our tap water comes from a well which is tapped into the Florida aquifer. :D So I think it's pretty delicious!

We have a drilled well & the water is wonderful.No taste & icy cold.

I have found that ADDforums has provided me with a forum (no pun inteded) to work on social skills in a safe way.

My tooth is feeling better. :)

I have too much stuff to do. http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/5774/flatn.gif

the current time is 5:50 and whenver i look at certain clocks they say 4:20 what a weird obesrvation/coincidence but these certain clocks never fail too

I find myself terribly unlucky to have found something in which I can do (journalism), which is a career that is not in demand (fml!).

I have this too and it's usually 9:11 - which bothers me. :confused:

I'd much prefer 4:20 :D

I has 6 soft tacos from Taco Bell and I plan on eating every last one of them. So :p

i am doing my laundry and must use a usb cord as a belt as these pants are to big for me

im going to bed now.

I love the crunchy original taco's. With all the Mexican food down here, nothing beats a crunchy Taco Bell taco!

Believe this ADDforums, I interviewed a woman on friday that has a song on a Grammy nominated CD (she'll be at the grammy's this evening!)

My sister is making supper for the family today.She is making chicken caccitorre & she is a wonderful cook.I don't like to cook anymore.

My oven won't preheat. http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/2968/iconmadl.gif

Will it heat at all? :p

Yeah, it heats up to like 300...I just went ahead and put the biscuits in. They came out fine, it just won't notify me that it's preheated like it's supposed to. And because it won't notify me, I have no idea how hot it is because it works on a dial and is not digital, so there's no way to tell the temperature. http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/5774/flatn.gif

Glad to see metzfanaz started a blog.

P.S. I believe he is very preoccupied with the letter z!

i made the ultimate sandwich consisting of syrup , candied bacon , cheese with steak mushrooms and onions =-O....... i couldnt wait to get at it and burned my finger trying to pull it out of the oven

I was arrested for shoplifting once...Not a fun time, and never repeated.

Oh, and I'm eating a guava. Such an underrated fruit!

I was arrested for shoplifting once...Not a fun time, and never repeated.

Only time I got caught was by my mom and dad after we got home. Hard to explain why at 7 yrs old you have a pocket full of Rolos and decks of Pinochle cards. I did manage to score a Luke Skywalker action figure though but lost that when I was grounded.

This may be a ignorant question, yet I've seen it in "facts", but do you think your shoplifting had anything to do with ADHD or just a kid who wanted something, or wanted to see if they could get away with it?

I'm asking because at this point in my life, I would never have the desire to shoplift. However I did a few times when I was a teen (never got caught -phew!).
I'm sure I should start this in a whole new thread.....

It might have contributed, but I think for the most part it was just a case of bored bravado filled peer-testing boys just after puberty looking for some cheap yucks.

I FINALLY made a .gif that is small enough to be my avatar. Sweeeetness. =D

Sometimes it makes me feel awful when I feel as though I haven't lived up to someone's expectations (makes me want to cry).:(

Sometimes it makes me feel awful when I feel as though I haven't lived up to someone's expectations (makes me want to cry).:(

As I get older, the one thing that seems to make me wonder is, why do people feel they have to live up to anyone else's expectations but their own?

I may not be where my father expected me to be in life. But had I gone the route he wanted - I am pretty sure the road there would have been miserable and don't think I'd be happy at that place anyway.

We got a new furnace & oil tank today.Our old one blew up so we had no heat for 2 days.

As I get older, the one thing that seems to make me wonder is, why do people feel they have to live up to anyone else's expectations but their own?

I don't have an answer to this one.

Two things I have learned at this point in my life is that no one can make me happy but myself - and to stop looking to anyone else to make me happy.

And the other is not to worry about living up to what we THINK others expect of us and not to expect other to do the same. Because that would be them asking us to change or us expecting them to change for us.
If you are not happy with who you are or where you are in life - then make a change for the better for YOU.

K- my random fact - I have a LOT of gray hair! And i'm coloring it now.....

I have to call the welfare office today and see if they've got a cheque for me. I've never collected welfare before. But don't let these snazzy yellow clothes fool you; I'm really broke.

Tommy, I've been there. I feel for you. But eatting is a good thing.

Thanks Zannie. I know; I stretched my last bit of money out pretty incredibly, but it couldn't go forever. And it shouldn't be for long; I just need breathing room so I can look for a job that's not terrible.

good luck! I hope you find a non-stressful but challenging job with a good work environment.

And don't worry about needing help it doesn't change who you are.

Rarely am I happy with the person I am.

I'm working on an art project to make extra cash. I'm excited!

We aren't buried under snow anymore! WoooOOoooOooo!!

The walk from my bus stop to my house was physically painful, it was so windy and cold! And I'm usually the dude who wears a t-shirt all winter, cold doesn't generally bother me.

So am I. I remember being able to wear shorts during the winter when I lived in Milwaukee. It would be chilly but I'd get comfortable quickly. I love being a furnace but I live in the wrong part of the states for that now.

I had a very strange dream the other night.

Members of my family all seemed to have moved in with me.

I was doing everything, cooking, laundry etc.

They were leaving me with things to do and going off to have a good time.

I thought, I can’t do this. I have to get away from here.

I tried to think of someplace I could go but there was no place to go.

Then I remembered that it was my house!

So I changed the locks!!??

I'm very excited to go to my internship tomorrow! I've made my list of things to do, and I'm excited about accomplishing them!

Your definitely going to have to keep us posted on your progress towards these goals. WTG man! :D

I guess I gotta start putting some random facts in here before I derail this entire thread...

I played freshman basketball in High School, scored 3 points all season with 6 rebounds. I am best known for shooting at the wrong basket towards the end of a game because I totally zoned and just turned and shot. Good thing I wasn't a good shot, it went nowhere near going in.

i have had informercials on in the background for most of the day so far, outta smokes and look forward to quitting

I sleepwalk and have interesting conversations with no one there.

I hate black olives and onions. So much so I can not eat anything that's been in contact with them so I can't pick them off then try and eat whatever it is. Veggie pizzas are a huge no no for me. :p

I went & got my hair cut today.(a trim)It was real nice to talk to the lady who cuts it.She is very upbeat & happy all the time.I need to get out & start to socialize more
with the outside world.

My throat hurts today :(

I got so nervous when I read an email from my internship supervisor (she didn't criticize me :)).

I think my life is finally coming together. I'm volunteering at a new non-profit coffee shop and because of my decision to do this, I've gotten another stick of memory for my computer (I only have half a gig to begin with...=|) and even better, I'm meeting new people with job resources that fit me and also support with my adhd. :D SO excited!!!

My random fact:

4 out of 7 goals are complete!

After being off of ADDforums for a few years, I'm back! And this is my first post! (Formerly known as Uneek1).

Maybe you ADDers would understand my obsession (even if not the object of the obsession). I was stressed and depressed and late September I took off to NYC. Only stayed a few days. Wish it was longer. I was on a Ramones pilgrimage. You know how some people HAVE to go to Graceland or walk across Abbey Road? I'm currently obsessed with Joey Ramone. My husband and other people think it was stupid of me to do. But I DON'T REGRET IT AT ALL!!!! I FELL IN LOVE WITH NEW YORK!!!! I had an affair with a city! And I didn't do any normal touristy things! And I seriously felt like it was Joey Ramone's spirit (he's been dead for almost 10 years) showing me around. He loved his city and the love spilled over to me. I walked around talking to him! (quietly so people don't think I was nuts). I jokingly told him he'd have to pay his way into the Bowery Electric (a club by his street. He loved music). I stepped in the doors and there was a big cardboard cutout of him! I LOVED MY TRIP AND I'M TEMPTED TO GO BACK IN MAY!!! (a big birthday bash held every year honoring Joey Ramone.) Husband thinks I need to grow up.

Welcome back to the forums first of all.

Second I'm born and raised Jersey so I know all about missing and loving the city so nice they named it twice. :p

Also, I had the pleasure of meeting Joey Ramone once at a Lenny Kravitz concert at Radio City Music Hall. He was close to the end unfortunately but oh man, what a thrill just to say hello to the man. Still love their music after all this time. :D

My throat hurts today :(

Ah, feeling better?

Last night, in short, I had a dream that I was shot at by someone I didn't even know, who was then shot by someone whose auto body-type shop I was visiting for inexplicable reasons. I then visited the person in the hospital, where the ICU was divided up into rows depending on the status of the patient. In one of the rows, most of the beds just contained pairs of headphones. I never found his, I don't think.

Wellbutrin makes for insane dreams!

I have insomnia.

I've had a new comp for a few weeks now.
Vista. I didn't like Vista but I think I got it sussed now.

I have nice bosses.

I keep wondering if it's a bad thing for thanking posts so much...I kind of treat it like the FB "like" button. Maybe I should just look at it like I'm thanking people for making me smile. =)

I think that made my day.:)

I find it near impossible to apologise to my Mum when I've snapped at her for no reason... but I just did. She was nice about it. Christ, I'm 23.

I collect everything odd at work that has my name written on it. I have 3 post-its, 2 tags that came from another plant and a magnet that someone put my name on.

I think it's lovely and makes this place even more warm and caring. :)

In the grocery store today, I was rounding a corner saw some guy walking while awkwardly holding two coconuts to his stomach, one in each of his hands.

My eyes got big, and I exclaimed, "Those are some BIG NUTS!"

Poor guy was so embarrassed... hehehehehehhe



I exclaim inappropriate things in public a lot. It's a fact.

I'm very very sleepy.

you are so not alone. lol :D

I've thought the same... (look at how many thanks I've given???).

My peace is this: thanks = to encourage more from a poster, to show that a post was read (to show caring?)... important whether or not I agree with a post or view point, or how much impact it is to me and my life... because I value diversity and know diversity gives health and robustness to any system (genetic or cultural, etc). I believe all should be rewarded and noticed for participation, which I think, is one of the hardest thing to get people to do (besides sleep, eat healthy and exercise... heh).

rep points = when I *really* fancy a post.

I went to the bookstore today.I got 2 gardening books & a novel.

Sometimes when I'm bored I try to make my eyes move independently of one another... I've always wanted to move my eyes like a chameleon.

I got my hair cut... and realized how LOUD and HEAVY that stuff is.

I hate hair. LOL. on me anyway. I have tried so many times over the years to let mine grow. But I have thick wavy/curly hair that grows out and not down. When I had it long, I never wore it down, so why have long hair?

I do best with a pixie cut, but its a pain in the butt to keep up with. I often take scissors to my own hair because I can't stand it and want it cut off NOW!!!!!

I'm a plucker. I love plucking my eyebrows. I use to pluck the hair on my legs when I was a teen. If someone will let me - I'll pluck their eyebrows too. :p

And umm.....I like to pop zits :eek: if my husband has one, especially on his back - I just have to pop it. My daughter occasionally gets one, and I have to resist because I don't want to give her a scar on her face.

I don't pluck anything, have no hair and hate popping zits. :p

I started planting some flower seeds today & put all the trays on my sunporch.

I'm just getting over being sick. But at least it's the chills and not puking sick. Still not fun but I can't stand puking. And if I try to type that word on my iPhone, the phone thinks it's not a word and tries to correct it!!! Very annoying. Right now it's just my brain that's messed up but that's getting better too. And that's why I wasn't on yesterday or today!

For some reason, I finally feel stupid! I knew it was stupid to begin with but for some reason after reading that (taken very nicely), I feel like I need to finally let him "rest in peace". LOL. But then it may be a certain time of the month (I go through stages). Who knows. Let's see what I feel like in a few days. I feel sorry for my husband who doesn't know the extent of it. And I still don't regret New York!

Sometimes when I'm bored I try to make my eyes move independently of one another... I've always wanted to move my eyes like a chameleon..

I can independently cross each one at a time and back, but I can't move them like this guy can (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6Yo98GBSCI&feature=related)... :D

AND another fact about me: I have wasted time again on the interwebs! http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/3659/boredn.gif

My managing editor of my internership said, "Anon, you might make the front page."

I realized that I do all my socializing on this site.I find that I really enjoy being here.

My younger brother just confirmed to me through facebook what I had already known. He has ADHD and takes adderall.

All I have to eat is junk food at the house, it's time to go food shopping. One of my favorite thing. :D

I like Big Time Rush and iCarly! (so does my kids...boys. LOL)

Today I put a hoop through my labret/lip piercing. Having a "I want to be 17 again" moment. :p

I've never believed in the tooth fairy as a kid. I just simply thought the tooth under my pillow cleverly morphed into money overnight. I remember one time I decided to try to wake up extra early so I could catch the tooth when it was still changing into a coin just to see what it would look like halfway morphed. Instead I just found a dollar. :p

We had a rave in our living room with a couple of friends. Hehe. This is the first time I've let company come over since I've moved in here because of how messy this house was. I'm so glad I've gotten things together enough to be able to have company over. I miss having friends. :(

Also found out laundry detergent glows under a black light. Coolest.thing.ever.

My father,my sister & I all live next door to each other.

My wife is difficult to deal with right now. She's in a very selfish place, and I have to let it be. :(

I love iCarly - I have a crush on Spencer! :o

So do I! Though I'm much older than he is...only in years though, not maturity.

Also that guy in Victorious is pretty hot too. I wanna be younger! I always forget his name. The one with the jealous girlfriend.

Beck. Had to look it up. And Cat I'm pretty sure as ADHD. Lol. Love her!

It this still a random fact thread or has it morphed into a chat? LOL Well I still want to post my random fact so here goes.

I ate horse sashimi at a restaurant here once. It was vile and I don't recommend doing it even if you think it'll make a fun unique story.

I <3 sushi. :D

I like some sushi but I'm more of a soba noodle person, LOL This was just icky though. It was just raw frozen slices of horse meat. IDK how I let myself be talked into eating it, LOL "oh it's not that bad." LIES!

I didn't even know you could eat that. :p

When I lived in Wisconsin the big thing at Christmas time was "Cannibal Burgers", raw hamburger with onions. Nasty, nasty, nasty....

My random fact: I've never tried that and have never tried Horse meat, and probably never will.

I didn't either but it was on the menu and the people we were with were like "Lets order that and we'll share it!" *gag*

Raw hamburger? EWWW I can only imagine how mushy it is. IDK about the taste, the horse didn't really taste like anything but it could have been the fact that it was frozen and I was chewing at the speed of light to get it down. The texture was what I couldn't stomach.

My wife did that once with a dinner of clams and mussels and squid, I tried that and totally gagged. I can't take anything slimy, blah!

Random Fact: I cut my own hair. :p

Squid and mussels. ICK!

Random fact: I hate seafood and fish in pretty much all forms. I was super disappointed when we were picked up for orders in Japan instead of Italy or Germany based solely on food, lol

I love seafood as long as it's shrimp, crab or any good tasty fish. Salmon is my fave along with crab cakes, if that's on the menu I have to buy it.

Random Fact: I went to Germany for 5 days and managed to eat NO German food but did have Burger King and McDonalds. Did try the local beer though, that was a must.

And a second Random fact: The McDonalds in Japan are a million times better then the American ones.

So are the ones in Italy. And they serve pasta and other side dishes - and beer on tap!


My random fact - I have been busy and forgetting to take my medicine = me a chaotic mess over the weekend!
I did some "gardening" at my kids school which resulted in me going all Edwardscissorhands on the bushes and practically cutting them down to the ground. :eek: - I was just going to trim a little....picture to follow later today.

The story I worked on for my paper made the front page of one of the sections!

I wasn't sure what the side dishes were at the one in Germany but I did see they served beer. Then again I'm pretty sure they serve beer everywhere in Germany.

The weird things there was I didn't know that the country shuts down on a Sunday so they can have family time and relax. So we got in on a Sunday, with the wife having a bad cold and all, and found McDonalds to be the only thing open. They had Big Macs and that was good enough for me. :)

One time just for fun I photoshopped my brown eyes to look like blue eyes (by using the lasso to select the irises and the hue/saturation thing to change the color). The pic looked amazingly real, it was so weird. :p I later made them purple, lol.

I think it's funny that shysmile doesn't mind spiders because they are "shy" bugs.

I love to cook.

I also hate sushi.

But I love Japan. I want to move there one day, but I think I would starve to death...

I think it's funny that shysmile doesn't mind spiders because they are "shy" bugs.

Have you ever tried to blow on a spider? They always run for a hiding place. They're big chickens. :D

I hate spiders and don't mind killing them.:p

Anonymo is a bug murderer. :p

I used to have a rubber band gun and loved to kill silver fish.

I have arachnophobia. Fact. It's not that I'm afraid of them, I just...it wigs me out. It's uncontrollable.

I still have to do that for myself. Think my first thing will be what I would look like today if I still had hair and kept the mullet I had back in high school

Also, you totally got that Turn My Brown Eyes Blue song stuck in my head, Thanks! :p

I want a spider as a pet but the wife won't let me. Just because we have live tarantulas here in Arizona doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to have a devenomised one as a pet. I just want an intimidating looking animal I can name Happy or Fluffy.

I had a pet tarantula at one time. She was a rosed-hair so I named her Rosie. But I was always too chicken to pick her up. I wanted to and knew it was harmless but I think I was too nervous. I scared her and she scared me.

I brought her over to my in-laws' house in the box she came home in. Mom was expecting a gerbil or something cute. Lol. She screamed when she saw it.

I like your names you picked out.

I would also like to get a snake but the wife isn't having that either. :p

I used to have a pet ball python, although I don't think you can classify snakes as pets. For it to be a pet, there has to be somekinda two-way bond between owner and animal, and snakes don't even bond to their own offspring.

I got rid of the python when we got pregnant with our first kid. Gave it to some breeders.

A few years ago we had a potbellied pig named Snuffy.He was wonderful.

I used to work at a place that bred different morphs of ball pythons. They had over 6,000 snakes in the facility.

Fact: I was fired due to not being fast enough. I hyper-focused on making sure each container was clean, and couldn't speed myself up.

Oh well. :(

I didn't watch the movie Snakes on a Plane because the premise of it sounded silly.

I was an extra in Beverly Hills Cop Part III. (somebody had to be on the roller coasters while filming)

Awesome! Did you meet Judge Reinhold? He was the person that people were always telling me I looked like when I was a teenager.

I met Ron Jeremy this summer ... :p

My random fact: The biggest celebrity I've met was Dustin Diamond in an Olive Garden waiting area in Milwaukee, WI

He's kinda grody looking....but he was super nice and down to earth. I talked to him for a little bit.

That's cool. I always pictured him smelling like some kind of oil because he always looks so greasy. :rolleyes:

Random Fact: One day I plan to change out all the lights in my house to black light and go out for the night. That way when my wife gets home from work there is nothing but black light all in the house. :D

Nope. None of the stars were there for the shoot. They moved us around the park from ride to ride to make it look like it was open.

Bummer.

I kinda watched part of About Schmitt being filmed here in Omaha. It was cut out of the movie but in the DVD extras. Only kinda watched because Jack Nicholson was being filmed inside of a cafe so we didn't really see anything. He came out and onlookers cheered, "Good job!". How would they know! Lol. I had him sign my Head DVD movie case. The movie he made with the Monkees way back when.

When they completed filming, they had a garage sale of all the props so they wouldn't have to cart it all back to California. I got a few small items that weren't shown and a very heavy liquor cabinet that you can barely see in the movie.

I watched it because I love good camp/cheese, but the movie didn't even rate that high.

It was just dumb.

The side dishes here are the same, just fries but kids meals you can get a bowl of corn instead of fries. They have different burgers all the time though and it's fun to try them. Right now they are doing the "Big America" burgers and this weeks(or months, I've never figured out their actual timeline) is the Miami Burger. I like the Shaka Shaka chicken which is just a piece of breaded chicken that comes in a bag and with a flavor powder packet. You put the chicken in the bag with the flavored powder and "shaka shaka" the bag, LOL. I like the cheese one best.

So my random fact is.. dun dun dun.. I am obsessed with sunscreen. I carry little bottles in my purse and car so I always have some. I'm super pale and burn like crazy. Plus the sun makes my freckles darker and I really hate my freckles.

Thanks. :)

Ball pythons are pretty awesome and are in ready supply where I am at. The problem is that they are so strong that they escape easily, even with weight holding down the top of the cage.

I saw my ex-wifes old neighbor's son in my internship class (that's wordy!).

Yep, and they're smart. Mine figured out how to wiggle the roof of his tank just right to undo the latches. He was always getting out. It took six encyclopedias stacked on the lid just to keep him in.

Damnit! I've been sleeping with the wrong people! Again!

I was in a commercial as an extra long ago. Another "barely" but cool enough! My husband and I went over to the casinos one night (not big Vegasy casinos. This is in Council Bluffs, Iowa) and they happened to be filming a commercial for their casino. I'm sometimes more fascinated by extras instead of the stars so I jumped at it. I'm a Leo so I have the perfect sign. Lol. Also very camera shy. Act natural? What's that? I'm trying not to make a stupid face! I do wish I can act!!!! But for a very split second, you can see my back. I had on a denim shirt and denim jeans the same color. Big fashion no no! But it was fun and I got a video tape in the mail a few months later. As soon as I can "act", I'd love to be an extra again. There is a good school/theater here (where Peter Fonda went.) so there is hope....

The only time I was on TV was while standing in line for my wife to audition for a reality show back in 05. It was cold, rainy and miserable but so much fun. :)

I had an idea to increase readership for my school's paper and my editor said that it seemed corny.:(

Well....turns out we have another trucker here! So I'm tearing myself away from all my van plans and coming in for a visit.

Sitting in a cold snowy open field up in Great Falls,MT....sucks.

Well say hi if you venture west to Coeur d'Alene:)

Haha! I just sent you a visitor message saying I drove through your town yesterday! I wanted to hustle over Lookout Pass before it got too bad. And it did cuz this morning I heard a truck jack knifed.

But it wasn't me.:D

So many choices!

Do I want a Ford van or a Chevy van? Do I want a long one? Do I want a conversion? Do I want a pop top? Do I want to pull a tiny trailer behind the van..cuz no matter how I figure it,a van will not carry enough water for me AND my beast(in the summer he drinks 2,3 or sometimes 4 gals a day). Or should I just get a little motor home and pull my little explorer behind?

Yeesh! So I just keep scouring the want ads and van forums and see what's best for me and the beast.

If you can find an old VW Van that'd be the best. Nothing says hippy like it. :D

Oh yes, I forgot about all the shenanigans. :p

Thanks for the reminder. :p

Don't ya know it! But with Earl it would be too tight a squeeze. Although my heart did start thumpin' when I was driving north on I-5 in Yreka the other day. Somebody has a whole slew of VW vans parked in a field next to exit 273! I bet they love each and every one of them!

I used to want a VW van. I'd paint it hippie like. Or a Volkswagon beatle (errr beetle) and paint it like a ladybug.

Actually just watched Blow and there's an old VW van in it... Watchin the commentary now so when it gets to it, I'll think of ya'all.

Added some Jackson Browne to my iPod.

I have my own secret language alphabet that I invented when I was 11, for when I wanted to write something extra private, or just for fun. I kept up using it throughout my teen years. I can still remember how to read them when I find the code in certain pages of old diarys. :D

That's pretty cool.

Random Fact: I think in pictures.

Random Fact: I think in pictures.

I've always wondered what that meant when people said it. I think visually, but its far more dynamic than static pictures. Could you explain it more?

whenever I buy a gallon of milk at the grocery store and they ask if I want it in a bag, I imagine that when I say yes, they will open the gallon and pour the contents into the bag and hand it to me, which makes me LOL on the inside and smile :)

I've always wondered what that meant when people said it. I think visually, but its far more dynamic than static pictures. Could you explain it more?

The best way to describe it is by this quote from Temple Grandin..."My mind is similar to an Internet search engine that searches for photographs. I use language to narrate the photo-realistic pictures that pop up in my imagination. When I design equipment for the cattle industry, I can test run it in my imagination similar to a virtual reality computer program. All my thinking is associative and not linear. To form concepts, I sort pictures into categories similar to computer files. To form the concept of orange, I see many different orange objects, such as oranges, pumpkins, orange juice and marmalade."

My ability to do this is nowhere as near as strong as Temple Grandins'. She is such an amazining person. I higly recommend reading her books. HBO also did a ovie about her.

I was a mechanic on motorized scooters (Vespa like ones, not Hoverrounds :p) until one day I got cut off and wrecked. Ended up getting 34 stitches in my leg and pretty mean roadrash. Also got laid off 2 weeks later. Now when I try and ride a motorcycle or a quad I get really bad panic attacks freeze up. It's the only time in my life I've even gotten a bad panic attack.

I think literally all the time and it does make me laugh. I'll try to point it out to someone else, and sometimes they get it and think it's funny, other times they just look at me like i'm crazy.

I am wearing a new shirt today (green color with the mountain dew logo with refreshing, drink up under it) I got on clearance at wal-mart. So far 4 co-workers have asked if I'm losing weight, mind you I saw the same 4 people yesterday without the question coming up. I <3 today. :)

I have lots of interesting things to share that have happened to us recently, but everything I write, my DH says, "I'd rather you not post that on the internet..."

My BIL is like that with my SIL, so posts everything she can think of on Facebook. :)

Random Fact: I am at lunch. :p

I've only had one small square of chocolate this entire week ((gasp!)).

I am obsessed with Microsoft Access and Excel.:o(and I am a Mac person)

I have lots of interesting things to share that have happened to us recently, but everything I write, my DH says, "I'd rather you not post that on the internet..."

My mom thinks I share too much. I can't help it; I accept myself. The past is the past. Mom thinks, "What would the family think?" Uh, that I'm not perfect? And I admit my mistakes? She also says something like my past could screw up my brother since he's in the military. And the past could come back to haunt me. Potential employers, etc. Whatever. So I say as long as your comfortable with it and doesn't involve flag burning or something else that could get you in trouble, share away!

I feel a bit paranoid about posting things on the internet; but when I'm in a good mood, for some reason I just like to talk about my personal life. Being careful doesn't seem worth it. Maybe this is utopian, but I feel like maybe, eventually, employers will start to realize that they're shooting themselves in the foot by going diversity hunting on the internet. Maybe their competitors will beat them, with their more honest or more creative workforces. Wow; that does sound utopian, now that I type it out.

It's cool when I see my name listed first when I log on.

I love John Candy.

Rabelais reminds me of Smollet; it's disappointing.

So I say as long as your comfortable with it and doesn't involve flag burning or something else that could get you in trouble, share away!

No, it's more like the (mumble, mumble) who are probably (mumble, mumble) might notice, and then we'd be (mumble, mumble). Because the thing that happened is that the (mumble, mumble) didn't (mumble) our (mumble) in time :rolleyes:, so technically we're (mumble, mumble) and could be (mumble, mumble) at a moment's notice :(. To sort it out, we thought we'd have to (mumble, mumble) of around $(mumble, mumble), but then they said they'd (mumble, mumble) instead :eek:. So now, DH has to (mumble, mumble) and (mumble), and possibly go to (Mumble) in a few weeks, provided we get the (mumble, mumble) before that. Otherwise, we're (mumble).

Is that clear? :p

Random coherent fact: I have a Never-Stopping, Never-Giving-Up, Always-and-Forever drippy nose and my skull hurts whenever I blow my nose. So I stayed home from work today.

NOW thats alot of mumbles,I think he has mumbleitis,and needs to take the next 2 weeks off w pay:Ddrs rules:D

I played the lead role in a musical.

This makes me want to learn Latin; not the content, but the sound:

Bella per Emathios plus quam civilia campos
iusque datum sceleri canimus, populumque potentem
in sua victrici conuersum viscera dextra
cognatasque acies, et rupto foedere regni
certatum totis concussi viribus orbis
in commune nefas, infestisque obvia signis
signa, pares aquilas et pila minantia pilis.


Wars worse than civil on Emathian plains,
and crime let loose we sing; how Rome's high race
plunged in her vitals her victorious sword;
armies akin embattled, with the force
of all the shaken earth bent on the fray;
and burst asunder, to the common guilt,
a kingdom's compact; eagle with eagle met,
standard to standard, spear opposed to spear.

I feel as if I'm turning to into a control freak at work and it's really starting to bother me.

I have 6 sheep & 5 of the "girls" are pregnant.They will be lambing any day now.

Awwwww. :D Are there gonna be pics? :p Lambs are so cute.

Wow; it never occurred to me that anyone on here would have sheep!

I just learned what a thunder-mug is. :D

I read the term in Gargantua and laughed my *** off. I don't know if it was Rabelais or his translator, or that's what everyone called them, or what.

Back when I was new to the internet, I used to be very outgoing online (opposite to how I was in real life), and made dozens of friends from all over the world I met in chat rooms.

I've voice chatted with people from: China, India, Australia, Colombia, Panama, Canada, Mauritius, South Africa, England, Scotland, Germany, and of course, the US. :D
And have text chatted to others from even more places, and have met some interesting people.

I've learned so much during those times. :)
