Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 23 August 2003 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I entirely approve. Go Ned.

Mark C (Mark C), Saturday, 23 August 2003 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned is totally on a thread lock-n-load spree! I'm not complaining, just saying. Bam bam bam. Almost every thread I clicked on this morning, Ned came in with the hammer and the boards.

Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 23 August 2003 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

He's on a "This Old Board" improvement spree ;-)

Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 23 August 2003 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

It's very cloudy, I hope it rains

I'm just making it simpler for all. :-)

Farmer's market! Fresh good food! Happy Ned.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 23 August 2003 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I missed the farmer's market for God knows how many weeks in a row, cause even when I can get up in time for it, the girlfriend can't get ready to leave quick enough. Maybe next week. I gotta get me some more of those dwarf cherries, and try the yellow beets even though I know they're just beets that're yellow.

Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 23 August 2003 17:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey. I got told off for being personal and rude on Sinister. And you know, I was. I was really nasty to someone sweet and eloquent, whose only crime was to disagree with me. And I thought I was becoming nicer and more tolerant. This sucks quite a lot - who do I think I am that I can be a bully in front of 1500 people and expect to get respect for it?

Mark C (Mark C), Saturday, 23 August 2003 19:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I really wish sometimes people would let me do things in my own time...

luna (luna.c), Saturday, 23 August 2003 19:20 (twenty-two years ago)

See Ned? SHE wanted to create her own new thread! ;-)

Man, now I feel bad! *mopes*

Oh no. Am I gonna get logged off? Oh sorry - need italics.
My bad.

Ahhh, much better. So I tells Nick, I tells him, "Go make me a water!" And he asks me, "How do I MAKE water?" And I say, "Go pour the water in the glass, add ice, give it to me!" So he does, but he gets the water out of the tap so it's hot and icky. BLEACH!LKJ I mean BLECH! Not BLEACH! cuz that wouldn't make sense now would it?

Sarah McLUsky (coco), Sunday, 24 August 2003 02:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Can't imagine what thread is more appropriate for this: I found, of all things, a couple of watches that I really like, and I think I may treat myself to one in the Fall. I haven't worn a watch that cost more than fifteen or twenty bucks since elementary school, when I went through this odd gimmick-watch phase: Casio keyboard type watch, Pac-Man watch, plays-the-Beatles watch, etc.

These don't play the Beatles, but they're kind of cool. My Casio is all chipped to hell anyway, so I guess the difference between a $15 watch and a $50 watch isn't so huge when I need a new one as it is.

Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 24 August 2003 02:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Watches are weird. I wanted one that was really plain and didn't have any special features so I bought this Timex at the pharmacy for $20. It does have Indiglo and the date, but nothing else. It's silvery shiny.

NA (Nick A.), Sunday, 24 August 2003 02:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I went back to plain after getting over the gimmick thing and losing my Mickey Mouse watch somewhere in New Mexico, iirc. I've had straight-up nothing-but-time-and-alarm watches for ten years now.

This or this or this look really cool, though!

Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 24 August 2003 02:57 (twenty-two years ago)

i just watched the grifters and john cusack is supposed to be 25? you're kidding right? or am i just defensive? he looks at least 40.

allyson (schmanktenputchka), Sunday, 24 August 2003 02:58 (twenty-two years ago)

i like watch number 3, but i have a bias against digital. by the way i'm a lurker so don't take anythign i say worth shit. plus i'm drunk. that's probably why i'm osting. p

allyson (schmanktenputchka), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:02 (twenty-two years ago)

See, digital is what I'm used to, but mostly I like the first two because of the Special Features. Watch 3 looks the best, I think.

Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:05 (twenty-two years ago)

You know, oh sorry, You know how when you start typing in your name, this drop down list shows up with the full version so you can just click on it? Well, since I keep misspelling it, it gives me like 7 different options. ha ha
Tep, I'll have to check out the watches at work Monday. Damn, my boss will be back. But anyway, my home computer can't handle them fancy graphics.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:06 (twenty-two years ago)

No rush, Sarah, my check hasn't even come yet :) And yet I'm already planning how to spend the disposable chunk of it. Welcome to Tep.

Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:07 (twenty-two years ago)

special features are overrated, i mean your watch just needs to tell time, it doesn;t need to be your best friend. go with non digital pleez! i know i'm just a drunk lrkr but trust me

allyson (schmanktenputchka), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:12 (twenty-two years ago)

NIck was playing with my watch earlier, but it was still one me so it kept pinching my skin and I had to take it off. I wear it all the time ('cept when I'm bathing or sleeping pretty much). I was always the dork with the watch tan at the beach.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

watch un-tans are cool, you look like you're wearing a watch all the time, even in the shower!

allyson (schmanktenputchka), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:21 (twenty-two years ago)

But did you not see the watch that had DJ SCRATCHIN on it? I mean c'mon. Plus the decision maker one. It makes decisions. That's a lot more than my toaster does.

You are probably right, though.

I have permanent watch-untan. I have no sense of time whatsoever: if not for my watch and the system tray clock, I'd be lost.

Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Today I was looking at XLR8R magazine, which sucks, but it had this little artcile about this ring shaped like this classic drum machine and I want one of those even though I don't wear rings.

NA (Nick A.), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:28 (twenty-two years ago)

So yeah, ok...

luna (luna.c), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:30 (twenty-two years ago)

tep, you must have some sense of time. can you tell night from day?

allyson (schmanktenputchka), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

i am very sad

Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

There you are, luna.

I can tell night from day, but ask me to do something "an hour from now" and you better make sure I have a watch on :)

Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:36 (twenty-two years ago)

You know what? I AM pissed off.

luna (luna.c), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Here I am, yeah, but does it matter, really?

I need to start drinking.

luna (luna.c), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry luna.

I refuse to call luna Sonny.

Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, but he looks grwat in a dress... if we could only get him to stop wearing the get up from the 'If I Could Turn Back Time' video...

luna (luna.c), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, it gets hot in the summer. Those are my casual Friday pants!

Don't make me have sex with an Allman brother, please.

Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 24 August 2003 03:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Causse Sonny would be better?

luna (luna.c), Sunday, 24 August 2003 04:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, at least he's dead.

... okay, so the options suck.

Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 24 August 2003 04:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Options often do.. unless you're picking between the hot, rich chick with blonde hair, the one with red hair or the one with brown hair.

I hear that's okay.

luna (luna.c), Sunday, 24 August 2003 04:07 (twenty-two years ago)

For now, I'm alone and restless, nowhere to go and no-one to do.

luna (luna.c), Sunday, 24 August 2003 04:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I think ILX has a field team in LA, don't we?

oops (Oops), Sunday, 24 August 2003 05:28 (twenty-two years ago)

A Dj Honda watch?? I dunno, to me it'd be like wearing a KISS watch, except with no ironic value even. And do you really want a gold (colored) watch?

oops (Oops), Sunday, 24 August 2003 05:30 (twenty-two years ago)

What I want isn't in LA

luna (luna.c), Sunday, 24 August 2003 05:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Big, big, big hugs from me to you, luna. You deserve 'em.

So what am I doing up on a Sunday morning when it's 2:36 and I need to be up in like four hours for what could possibly be my longest Sunday ever? I do hope it'll all be worth it. Selling Krispy Kremes to the church-going Masses (or masses?) will definitely have to be seen to be believed.

I've only worn Timexes before. I don't know what anything else is like. The current one I have is silvery with a latch in the back and a simple classic face in the front. Its only features are that it's an Indiglo watch that is submersible to a depth of 30 meters, which is fairly deep.

Anyway, lots of love to everyone. Must go to sleep now.

Just Deanna (Dee the Lurker), Sunday, 24 August 2003 06:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Allyson, if you are posting on this thread, drunk, you are one of us. Welcome.

I love my surroudnings. Freinds, bar, exes, loves. My life is good. GET IN ME!!

Texas Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 24 August 2003 07:44 (twenty-two years ago)

This Yankee use of "GET IN [person]!" baffles me. I know it's been discussed elsewhere, but over here the phrase is simply "GET IN!"

I'm pissed off because I think Hanle y is a childish waste of space, but obviously there are great things about him cos so many cool people like himn. What am I missing?

Mark C (Mark C), Sunday, 24 August 2003 12:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Because he's a sweetheart at heart who means well and does funny songs.

I am extremely depressed and somewhat angry that friends of mine are now raging at each other, the more so because the cause is easy to see.

"privately executed"?? Jesus, where did that come from?

Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 18 September 2003 11:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm fairly anti- private school. And I hate the idea that if someone went to private school they are somehow better or smarter than public school kids. Is the idea that the wealthy should be educated? Leave the poor to the service jobs because that's all they're good for anyway? I mean, they don't need much of an education for that, right? Why pour thousands of dollars into a special school instead of donating it to public schools? In the end, I think it just keeps the rich rich and the poor poor.

This, of course, coming from one of those public school kids. I remember my parents almost sent me to a Montessori school when I was little, but then at the last minute backed out because they couldn't really afford it. It's hard to imagine what my life might have been like in that environment.

In other news, it is extremely dark and stormy out. The worst part of the hurricane is supposed to hit tonight, but I'm still planning on leaving early here today. The winds are already picking up.

Sarah McLUsky (coco), Thursday, 18 September 2003 11:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Take care all of you who are living in the hurricane's path.

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 18 September 2003 12:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I went to both public and private schools - in the US, all public, but in Australia, private Catholic schools - not because my mom was a snob, god knows she could barely afford it, but BECAUSE SHE HATED ME.

Okay, not really, the Catholic schools were just better schools.

And she hated me.

luna (luna.c), Thursday, 18 September 2003 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Private schools are an exercise in torture, I'm convinced: odd fitting uniforms, knee socks, ugly shoes and requirements of going to Confession---even if you have nothing to talk about.

Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 18 September 2003 22:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I realize my last post was kind of assholish. Apologies to those of you who went to private schools as kids and really had no say in the matter.

It's just nothing but the inequity of quality education can get me so mad. . .

(fwiw, I'm all for uniforms in public schools.)

A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 18 September 2003 23:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Stop fucking thinking you know what's going on with me when you don't have all the facts. It's irritating as hell.

Stop fucking telling people how I feel. I'm pretty damned sure you don't know.

Stop talking about me like you know what's going on inside my head. You don't.

Stop talking about me as though you're my best friend. Ypu aren't.

Stop fucking trying to tell me how I should live my life because you know 'what's best.' You don't.

JUST FUCKING STOP!

luna (luna.c), Friday, 19 September 2003 07:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope all is ok Luna.

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 19 September 2003 07:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm just frustrated, sug. It seems there are certain people I know who either can't or won't stay out of my life - and the things they're saying are things they really know nothing whatsoever about.

Shit, I'm really not that interesting!!!!

luna (luna.c), Friday, 19 September 2003 07:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Tell them to butt out! They have no business being in your life if they are not welcome. Hang in there hun. *hugs*

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 19 September 2003 08:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks darlin...

It's 2 am, and I think I'm going to go to sleep. Have a wonderful day!! xxx

luna (luna.c), Friday, 19 September 2003 08:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Sleep well & sweet dreams. xxx

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 19 September 2003 08:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Today is another beautiful, sunny day. Add to that it's a friday & you've got a great day! Provided today doesn't drag too much it will be cool. I'm gonna leave work early today. Meet some friends at my house & then head into town to meet J after work. Then meet some more friends in town & meet my best mate's new boy!
Then the rest of the w/e is mine, all mine. mwah ha ha!
I hope everyone is ok in the states after Isabel's (not Tom's bride to be) little visit.
Wouldn't it be great to just be able to hop on a plane & be anywhere in the world in an hour. *sigh*

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 19 September 2003 08:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 19 September 2003 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yes!

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 19 September 2003 14:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I realize my last post was kind of assholish. Apologies to those of you who went to private schools as kids and really had no say in the matter.

FWIW, I went to a private school and I liked it quite a bit, but it wasn't Catholic and there weren't uniforms.

Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Friday, 19 September 2003 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I was just reading all the Catholic and uniforms references and wondering what the hell's up with New England. I mean, yeah, no Catholics, that should be obvious -- but uniforms? Only at Philips-Exeter, which thinks it's a British boarding school anyway and charges more than most universities.

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 19 September 2003 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm really having those wistful end-of-summer-beginning-of-fall moments today... like I need to go somewhere, away from here, and see nature. Fuck I wish I wasn't flat ass broke, because I think a drive up PCH this weekend would be so perfect...

luna (luna.c), Friday, 19 September 2003 18:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't remember if this is the thread where I mentioned that my best friend had been sent to a specialist because of cancer worries, or if I mentioned it at all, but as of this afternoon's appointment she is A-OK in the clear.

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 19 September 2003 18:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Woo hoo! That's fabulous news!

luna (luna.c), Friday, 19 September 2003 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Who stepped on the asshole button?

luna (luna.c), Friday, 19 September 2003 21:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Seriously, I don't know wtf is up lately - is it the moon? Something in the water? Just 'that time of year'?

I'm not Miss Mary Fucking Sunshine even on my best days, but DAMN.

luna (luna.c), Friday, 19 September 2003 21:08 (twenty-two years ago)

There are days when I wish I was back to wearing school uniforms. They made getting dressed at 5:30 in the morning the easiest thing, because I didn't have to think about what I was going to wear. All I had to do was factor in what the weather was going to be like that day and either put on my uniform skirt or my uniform shorts, and also put on my uniform blouse and the regulation white socks (had to be either blue or white) and penny loafers. (We could also wear saddle oxfords if we so chose, but I liked penny loafers more.) Oh yeah, and if I was going to wear my uniform skirt, I'd put on a pair of bicycle shorts underneath. Easiest thing! Now I have so many more choices and so many more opportunities to look foolish or mismatched or something. *laughs*

I'm incredibly glad your friend has been given good news on that front, Tep. Cancer is a horrible thing and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Is there anything else your friend needs to do before she's considered 100% cancer-free, or is she already considered that now? Gosh, I do hope she doesn't have a bit of cancer in her.

Hope everyone has a lovely and pleasant rest-of-Friday and finds enough time in that big and busy weekend to relax and unplug. *huge group-style hugs*

Legendary Nothingness (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 19 September 2003 21:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I admit that I kinda miss wearing school uniforms too, sometimes - even though mine were all hideously ugly and we had to wear brown socks and brown shoes with them (the boys got to wear black, I have never forgiven them for that) - because Dee's right - it made getting dressed SO much easier.

luna (luna.c), Friday, 19 September 2003 21:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Is there anything else your friend needs to do before she's considered 100% cancer-free, or is she already considered that now? Gosh, I do hope she doesn't have a bit of cancer in her.

Thanks Dee :) I grilled her about that for a while, and then realized, "Uh, sorry to be all twenty questions ..." and explained why. Basically, her first two exams that had said "you really need to see someone, this could be benign, but it's definitely something" were physical exams -- the second one was necessary for a referral because the first one wasn't at a place her insurance will take referrals from.

The ultrasound showed "absolutely no signs of anything, not even anything we might want to look closer at" -- she could get a mammogram, but the doctor told her she couldn't think of any reason why it would be necessary, given her age and lack of cancer in her family history. The reason for the initial positives is essentially TMI for an I that isn't mine, but basically, it made sense that the first two doctors would screw up and read the results of a physical exam wrong.

(It's another reminder to me to finally, finally, maybe, ought to, probably won't, really should, fill out the form and pay the fee to find out who my biological parents are; heading into your thirties with no family medical history is canoeing without an oar when you're a smoker and have already had gallbladder surgery.)

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 19 September 2003 23:21 (twenty-two years ago)

After my dad's scare earlier this year, it is good to see someone else coming through the cancer worries. :-) Rah!

Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 19 September 2003 23:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Why did I do that?

luna (luna.c), Saturday, 20 September 2003 06:38 (twenty-two years ago)

cause it was fun?

oops (Oops), Saturday, 20 September 2003 06:44 (twenty-two years ago)

It wasn't fun, though slight cathartic, and now I just feel dumb

luna (luna.c), Saturday, 20 September 2003 06:45 (twenty-two years ago)

it's the thing i said wasn't dumb, innit?

oops (Oops), Saturday, 20 September 2003 06:49 (twenty-two years ago)

yes. it feels dumb and self pitying and like a cry for attention

luna (luna.c), Saturday, 20 September 2003 06:53 (twenty-two years ago)

glad to hear that tep, I know what that's like

s1utsky (slutsky), Saturday, 20 September 2003 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

NIGGAZ GON' FUCK AROUND AND GET THEY BALLOON POPPED

Ghost (Ronan), Saturday, 20 September 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

OMG, I'm so relieved, Tep! This is cause for celebration!

Cancer is horrible. God. I don't even really care to think about it. So I won't, not further anyway.

Also -- Tep, remind me to tell you something next time you get on AIM, ok? It's in regard to this most recent post, btw.

Aimee, go full throttle with the self-pitying and cries for attention! Lord knows *I've* monopolized that corner for long enough. *laughs* Indulge yourself. It can be good to do that.

Legendary Nothingness (Dee the Lurker), Saturday, 20 September 2003 17:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Popeye's sucks. Why did I eat it?

A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Saturday, 20 September 2003 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I really hate it though, Dee, and what may be interpreted as that wasn't that at all...

luna (luna.c), Saturday, 20 September 2003 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Will do, Dee :)

Popeye's is great if you're hungry enough to eat socks, Sam. So you were probably hungry enough to eat socks. (Their potatoes are great any time, though.)

Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 20 September 2003 21:35 (twenty-two years ago)

the fries were eh. the chicken strips were slightly undercooked. gag

A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 21 September 2003 04:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Some people really fucking suck.

luna (luna.c), Sunday, 21 September 2003 08:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Others, however (present company included), are inordinately wonderful.

luna (luna.c), Sunday, 21 September 2003 08:16 (twenty-two years ago)

stupid fucking migraine

Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Sunday, 21 September 2003 08:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Does Excedrine Migraine work for you, Chris? It's the only thing that does anything for me, and has worked for a couple other people I know.

luna (luna.c), Sunday, 21 September 2003 08:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Hello hello. It's sunday morning and I feel a bit meh, but that's cos it's still hot, and I got hit by a nut thrown by a squirrel yesterday. Actually, that has nowt to do with my mood, I just wanted to mention it.

Mark C (Mark C), Sunday, 21 September 2003 10:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Better now. Sleeping got rid of it.

Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Sunday, 21 September 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

This weekend has been complete shit. Work fucked up our checks and I don't even have enough for gas and food this week. *, no fuck that MATT BRUNKER has been ignoring me after standing me up on Thursday. I've given him the opportunity and requested that he just tell me it's over instead of not answering my calls/emails.

Motherfucker's going to regret making me mad. People don't treat me like I'm disposable.

Now to eat one of the last two edible things I have in the house. :(

A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 21 September 2003 16:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I got hit by a nut thrown by a squirrel yesterday...

This is the kind of thing that happens when Carey is in town.
