Red-Ringed Tupperware Party with (ineffective) Tin Foil Hats

[wu_wei0]

what a scandal that caused!

[Woolburr]

Damn near as confusing as those 3 doods in a tub scandal.

[Belmondo]

New shooter coming out.

I just got home from driving to Los Angeles and back today. I'm sure not as young as I used to be. There was a time a little 350-mile drive in L.A. traffic didn't tucker me out.

No more.

What did I miss?

[Woolburr]

Pretty much nothing....today was a slow day at the salt mine.

[Belmondo]

Pretty much nothing....today was a slow day at the salt mine. Oh pooh. The L.A. traffic really had me in the mood to ban somebody. Guess I'll have to go look for some spammers to take it out on..

[Woolburr]

LA traffic will do that to you....I can't envision it has improved since the last time I drove there....30 years ago.

[Claire]

Whassup? :)

[saravrose]

I drove in LA once.. I was about seventeen I pulled off the highway into a 7-eleven and cried. literally cried.

[Woolburr]

Driving there can reduce most anyone to tears.

[Woolburr]

Whassup? :)

You are up early...all recovered from your party?

[saravrose]

Driving there can reduce most anyone to tears.

Hiccup crying. that almost hysterical girly mascara destroying crying.. it wasn't pretty and neither was I by the time I made it to San Diego.. I won't drive further North than Carlsbad in California...

[saravrose]

Whassup? :)

morning Claire or evening for me.. How's it going?

[Woolburr]

Hiccup crying. that almost hysterical girly mascara destroying crying.. it wasn't pretty and neither was I by the time I made it to San Diego.. I won't drive further North than Carlsbad in California...

My first experience to LA was in July of 75....I left San Diego to visit with some friends that lived in Glendora. Went by motorcycle....started raining near Camp Pendleton....first time it had rained in months...I-5 became a giant skating rink....I was on the verge of a tear or two myself.

[theflyingkiwi]

hello everyone. I hope everyone is doing well this evening or morning, depending on your location :)

I couldn't imagine anything like the LA freeway. I think the auckland is bad enough and in some places that's just 4 lanes.

My dad wrecked a motorcycle on I-5 when I was in elementary school.. I wasn't more than eight and the only thing I remember is sitting in the hospital hallway with my grandmother...

The rain started falling and I could see my life flashing before my eyes. That is the scariest experience I have ever had driving. I couldn't get off that road and parked fast enough to suit me. After 10-15 minutes of rain....the roads just were wet...the oil and crap finally washed off...the other part that made it so bad was the pavement in that area is textured....the concrete surface was finished with a vibrating broom....so it had a series of little twists and turns....add the oil and water to it....and it was a total nightmare.

Howdy Mark.

I have had my fair share of bad driving conditions.. But, I have to say the worst ones are up here... driving miles of Idaho canyon is just about the worst.. knowing that a little bit of black ice can have your car going into the Payette River sure puts things in perspective...

[Belmondo]

I started driving as a teenager in Los Angeles almost 50 years ago, and it was bad then. Now, it's just godawful. We try to time our trips so that we don't get there till after 10:00am, and try to be out of there by 3:00pm. Today, we had no choice since we were meeting a plane at L.A. International in the morning, and had to stay for dinner.We did have one 'experience.' My wife wanted to go to Rodeo Drive to look at the stores, and we saw Ted Danson walking out of Saks 5th Avenue on Wilshire Boulevard. That wasn't much of a highlight for all the aggrevation.

[wu_wei0]

Damn near as confusing as those 3 doods in a tub scandal.
Those big tub parties can get confusing sometimes.

[Woolburr]

I imagine the roads still do the same thing when you a get rain after an extended dry spell? I was just amazed at how slippery it got. Way worse than any snow or ice I have ever been on....I just knew I wasn't going to get slowed down before I hit something.
BTW...Ted Danson beats seeing Oprah!

[Woolburr]

Those big tub parties can get confusing sometimes.

Oh yes...especially when they are just a bunch of guys!;)

[wu_wei0]

can onlyi magine what trouble a butcher, a baker and a candlestick maker could get into in one little tub.

I hate ddriving in rain in any city. some bad experiences.

my worst driving time though was through the mts in tennessee in fog so thick you couldn't see the front end of your car.

[saravrose]

I hate ice. I really, really hate black ice seeing the shine on the road because of your headlights and feeling your car fishtail... there's nothing worse..

[wu_wei0]

hate that! Didn't much like not seeing black ice on the steps and feeling my tush fishtail last week either

I try very hard not to think what those 3 might be up to.

The fog here in the mountains is beyond belief sometimes. Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway can be a treat. One minute you have a nice bright sunny day and the next you are in fog so thick that you can hardly even see the windshield much less anything beyond it. You should have stopped and said hi if you were that close!

[wu_wei0]

Rest your mind on something more pleasant.

That was back in 92. I don' t think I knew you then. next time I'll holler. wonder if you could hear me?

[Woolburr]

The border is about 20 miles as the crow flies...40 by road. You make lots of big circles in the mountains. I suppose if you had yelled real loud...I might have heard you...of course in 92...I was still in NY.....rofl

[wu_wei0]

I miss the traveling days.

Claire, I see you were practicing some of that life stuff yesterday. Good party?

[liza]

I drove in LA once.. I was about seventeen I pulled off the highway into a 7-eleven and cried. literally cried.

Chicago during rush hour is pretty bad, too. And if you get lost in the wrong neighborhood, it can be downright scary. I took a wrong turn on the south side once, and a crazy guy started chasing my car and throwing beer bottles at me. Up there, you just have to drive in the center lane really fast, never look in your rear view mirror, and cut people off when you want to get on the exit ramp. :lol:

I hate ice. I really, really hate black ice seeing the shine on the road because of your headlights and feeling your car fishtail... there's nothing worse..

I agree. I'd rather drive in deep snow than ice any time.

And I must tell you, this has turned out to be the crappiest day I've had in months. I keep pissing people off and don't intend to. Using the written word on forums or in PM/IM sometimes leads to misunderstandings. I made a teasing post in response to a dear friend's post on a forum only to have four different people jump down my throat and get two crappy PM's about it. Sometimes it doesn't even pay to get out of bed.

[Woolburr]

Playin in a travelin band...........

Sucks when people figure they have to toss in their two cents about something they are wrong about. Does make you want to crawl back under the covers.

[liza]

I deleted both posts in the thread so I don't get any more crap about it. Some people are so zipped up, I don't know how they breathe. The OP, who's my friend, didn't have a problem with it at all. He embraces my quirky sense of humor.

[Woolburr]

There are some folks that just take everything way too seriously and don't take into account the fact that people might actually have friends here that they could joke around with. I am amazed at the number of PMs this thread generates from people thinking that we are too harsh on this person or that one...or that we shouldn't tease at all.

[liza]

Who sends PM's? I never get any.

[Woolburr]

I guess you know the wrong crowd...I get a bunch every day. Some good ones from friends....and then the usual ones from people telling me to shut up....if you really want...I can forward the ones asking me to shut up!

[liza]

Don't get me wrong, I get lots of PM's. But they're mostly from people asking advice about lenses or camera settings for sports. Most of the people I am friends with on POTN either email me or IM/PM me on Yahoo or My Space. Other than PM's from Permie, I don't get any pertaining to this thread. Who did they think we were picking on?

[Woolburr]

At various times people have felt we have abused most everyone...Yoda, Claire, Sari, you, Permie, Puddle and Wu.....funny thing...I never got any messages from any of you asking to stop the abuse...

[liza]

Hey, I like it. :lol:

Seriously, that's just too much! I can't believe people actually think we're abusing one another. That's so bizarre. I think of this as a safe haven from all the crap in other threads. But it further illustrates the point I made earlier. The written word does not always adequately convey what one is trying to express.

[Claire]

You are up early...all recovered from your party?

morning Claire or evening for me.. How's it going?

I'm sooo sleepy. :confused: Ugh. Damn beer.

[liza]

Shame on you, Claire! That stuff isn't good for you.

Wool,
I just saw that someone started a birthday thread for me a couple of hours ago. Wasn't that nice? It helps make up for the crappy day I had.

[theflyingkiwi]

ooh I don't get any PM's :cry:

ooh dear how sad, never mind ;)

[liza]

ooh I don't get any PM's :cry:

ooh dear how sad, never mind ;)

Oh, I don't get that many. I only have to empty my folder once every week or so.

[Woolburr]

Greg was impressed that someone else was having a crappy year too.

[theflyingkiwi]

I was talking to canon today. it seems that my camera is going to another week. Gee I tell them to fix it last week and now it's going to be another week. :cry:

gee one wouldn't think it's that hard to fix a lens.

Claire, I think you should go home and sleep :)

[Woolburr]

The whole idea behind this thread was to have a safe place to exchange ideas and what-not....I think it is hysterical that people think we are abusive to each other.

Hope you tell 'em where to put their comments.

[theflyingkiwi]

which thread is that?

[Claire]

Oh, I don't get that many. I only have to empty my folder once every week or so.

Eh, I empty it maybe once every two months...

That sucks you won't get your camera back yet! I hope mine doesn't break down anytime soon...

Yeah, sleep would be nice...but I already told the boss that as he tried to get me drunk, it's his fault if I can't work well today. ;)

[liza]

Greg was impressed that someone else was having a crappy year too.

This has got to be the worst year I've ever had in my life, so I could definitely empathize with him. It's good to have someone who understands what you're going through.

It cracks me up. I can't believe people really think there's any hostility among us. We simply share a certain warped sense of humor. ;)

[Woolburr]

WHO? where?

[theflyingkiwi]

Eh, I empty it maybe once every two months...

well I had my camera for 3 years without a fault, I would think that you should have a least a few more years in it yet.

that sounds like the good thing to do, blame the boss :)

[liza]

I'm going to bed. Just noticed it's already 2 in the morning. Night all!

[Woolburr]

Night Liza

[Woolburr]

Yeah, sleep would be nice...but I already told the boss that as he tried to get me drunk, it's his fault if I can't work well today. ;)

The boss should be understanding....after all...he was trying to get you drunk enough to dance naked!

[theflyingkiwi]

night girl, sleep well and take care.

[wu_wei0]

Night Liza- morning is the start of a brand new and better year.

[wu_wei0]

So, Claire- you've been practicing having a life?

[wu_wei0]

looks like another night of sleep in 20 minute increments

[Woolburr]

looks like another night of sleep in 20 minute increments

That is 20 minutes more than I have had thus far.:cry:

[Maureen Souza]

That is 20 minutes more than I have had thus far.:cry:
You don't count, Dan. You never sleep.

I am at work..peeking in here but not much time to post.
I may be quiet at times but I am always lurking........;) ;)

[wu_wei0]

Sorry, babe. call the sugarplum faeries. THey help sometimes. Just not for long.

I'm just happy I don't have to spend the day at the office tomorrow. I'll dash in, grab some stuff and run my errands and come back home to work. or try to work.

[wu_wei0]

Hi Mo. No misbehavin going on here tonight.

:( :lol:

[theflyingkiwi]

well I think you all living in USA is nuts. even if you are in california, it's still late there. I hate being update late when I have work tomorrow. hence why I go to bed in about 1/2 hours time.

[Woolburr]

Hey...we need a resident zombie!

[wu_wei0]

You haven't heard my zombie stories have you? I have a strange affinity for them. :)

[Maureen Souza]

Hi Mo. No misbehavin going on here tonight.

:( :lol:
There were rumors of a hostile takeover but I can see that someone was over reacting. This is one of the friendliest threads on the forum:D

[Woolburr]

This place is more like a bad version of Dr. Phil than it is a candidate for a hostile takeover. We try to sugar coat everything here!

[Woolburr]

You haven't heard my zombie stories have you? I have a strange affinity for them. :)

Just your pointy faced zombie cows in sheep's clothing.

[wu_wei0]

I think we ran them off with kindness a couple days back. Sugar overdose or something
Just your pointy faced zombie cows in sheep's clothing.
Well, then you are missing out on some GOOD story telling!

Sam says it is time for another 20 minute snuggle session so I guess I'd better go or I'll do without again. have a great day all of you who are up and about cause you need to be. Get some sleep, the rest of you.
yumm- snuggles!

[Woolburr]

I think I might try a nap myself....oh the humanity!

[Claire]

The boss should be understanding....after all...he was trying to get you drunk enough to dance naked!

Ah, that was the ex-boss, now the Marketing Director. He was the one finishing off three pints and a bottle of red wine... And somehow thought I should be dancing naked. :rolleyes:

The CEO is my current boss (although both of them kinda are my bosses). He's the one I'm renting my flat from next year. And he was the one telling me to drink enough so he wouldn't dare to let me go on a train, but have to call a cab if I wanted him to pay for it. And he's the one who said I should bring single girls to his moving out/my moving in party. He's a fun guy. At the same time, can you look at your boss without laughing after hearing how he went bowling in a thong during his Bachelor party? ;)

So, Claire- you've been practicing having a life?

Yeah, Xmas dinner. :D I'm tired now. Want my bed!

That whole thong bit was way TMI !!!:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Claire]

That whole thong bit was way TMI !!!:lol: :lol: :lol:

LOL I know! He told us a couple of times before when we had coffee and discussed bachelorette/bachelor parties, and when we went bowling. Said he was very happy the photos weren't shown on the slideshow until after his parents and in-laws had gone to bed...

[Lightstream]

Hmm? Bad day? Yup...sounds like mine.

I had a good dinner with a couple of people I do enjoy working with.....

Then I had someone else let me down so hard that I feel like slamming the door in the face of any and everybody else who ever knocks again in future. Who needs friends like that when they make a bad situation worse, when you are left to solve your own problems, when they scream at you for doing something stupid when they knew what you were doing and made no effort to stop you because they don't care. Why do they even care afterwards is beyond me.... or perhaps it is because they want to rub it in.

Who needs people? I am so used to living life alone and solving my own problems apart from my best friends - I am done with people. If anybody (who isn't already on the list of people I care about) wants to get to know me, they are going to have to climb some fences.

[saravrose]

well goodmorning all.. it is officially the butta$$ crack of dawn.. well, in two hours the sun will be up i'm smelling coffee brewing and thinking that maybe I can forget this whole no coffee for me thing i've been on the last few months..

I'm getting bored. and thinking about leaving and going somewhere else. That gypsy streak runs deep. I called my friend last night and mentioned that I might get bored enough to move to san diego through the winter he just laughed and said I have no staying power for anything in my life. at all. ever. and made me a little concerned that that might actually be true.. But, I just kinda wanna go.. Really want to. Just get a storage unit put all of my furniture in it. Pack up the car and go for a drive. Maybe i'm getting a little old for this particular personality trait.. But the view is seeming a tad bit monotonous the last few days.. there's a lot of snow, my job is more than a little on the easy side.. and in general my heels are getting itchy.. It's okay i'm sure it will pass I usually ride these impulses out..

sari

[saravrose]

I have a couple of friends in Vegas.. and my neighbor used to work that way so he has some contacts down there... I've never lived in Nevada before... hmmm....

[Lightstream]

night folks.....tired, burned out, not a good combo. going to sleep. later....

[wu_wei0]

I usually like this time of morning but lately the butta$$ crack of dawn has been less appealing! I was always up and out of the house in the dark to walk to wherever I wanted to shoot that morning regardless of weather. Now I hate even opening an eye. lol I have to get back into the habit of shooting soon.

If you have the means to do so and places you want to go, do it! When you find the right place, you will stay. My sanity was saved often by taking trips even though all I wanted was to pull up and go for good. Now I don't even take trips anymore IF I had no kitties, I'd do the visiting prof thing for a few years. Just take what I had to have and spend a year in different areas of the country. Other than cats, I am unfettered, but pets are family for me so there's no handing them out like party favors or sending them to an animal shelter.

sari
Not too old!! You seem like a woman who likes a challenge and has places to go and new things to see. Do it while you can. Perhaps I would be more at ease here if I could find a way to see something new when I do get out to shoot. everything appears the same to me. I've lost my "eye" and am slowly losing my skills. Your friends have your best interest at heart, I'm sure, but they are not you and only you can decide where you need to be and when. Their life may work for them but may be all wrong for sari.
You have skills and talents that can take you anywhere. Go where you can flex them and grow. when the time is right for settling in, I bet you will recognize it.

night folks.....tired, burned out, not a good combo. going to sleep. later....

sleep well, Yoda


hmmm, well that didn't work this time.:(

[saravrose]

thanks Wu... he wasn't giving me a hard time twelve years of history and he's allowed to tease me a bit here and there... I probably won't go anywhere until next fall but I do get these moods where it's time to get out of dodge.. doesn't really matter where i'm at or what i'm doing.. maybe I will settle down when i'm ready.. But, I do remember my aunt telling me when I was eighteen to give it five years and i'll feel differently... nothing much has changed since then as soon as I settle into a place, job, new home, relationship.... whatever and start to feel patterns develop I want to pick up stakes and head somewhere new.. Has been this way for as long as I can remember and I don't ever think i've been 'content' whatever that's supposed to mean...

sari

[wu_wei0]

content is for cows, or so I hear.

That line merits a MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Always nice to have a MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! in the mornings

[Woolburr]

Was that a MOO or a moon? ROFL

[saravrose]

well MOOOO right back to whoever is doing the MOOOOOO'ing.. :lol: :lol: .. I hate cows. Ugly creatures cows and I have a whole theory about why milk is just gross and it begins and ends (pun intended) with the flat behind cows...

I'm still at work...

I'm still at work...


How late is it? My B-I-L is in Antwerp, and I think he's 9 hours ahead of us here. (We're GMT -8 here.)

[Claire]

It's 6:06pm right now. :)

[saravrose]

I want to go home.. back to my little apartment curl up under a quilt on my sofa and watch movies for the rest of the day... three hours to go...

sari

[Claire]

I'm going home soon. :)

[wu_wei0]

I'm just geting ready to head to work, although sari's plan sounds so much better!
However, if I don't leave my house I won't make it to the post office to get my tubes. Guess I better pack my gear and hope I see something to shoot along the way.

[Claire]

On my way home! Yaay!

[Permagrin]

I am amazed at the number of PMs this thread generates from people thinking that we are too harsh on this person or that one...or that we shouldn't tease at all.

I don't think I've received any either...not re: our being to harsh on anyone. You must be either the favored villian of the thread or the one people thinks the the most responsible...:lol: :lol:

I guess you know the wrong crowd...I get a bunch every day. Some good ones from friends....and then the usual ones from people telling me to shut up....if you really want...I can forward the ones asking me to shut up!

No thanks Wooly, I like to live in bliss...often different ways of bliss, but still bliss ;)

Nobody better abuse MY sis. I'll kick some canon toting tushy AND take your gear as payment for damages. :D



Me too. Sleepyhead!




Oh yes, I am working through the cow thing quite nicely. But a girl just can't resist a good long moo - or two.;)

Yeah! What SHE said :lol:

I was so tired last night...didn't sleep well at all the night before...or nearly long enough.

You're right...a long moo, really gets to a girl!

[Woolburr]

A Mooo or two is good for you. Gets the old circulation going.

[Permagrin]

I'll mooo that as well! ;)

[Woolburr]

How Moo you do?

[Permagrin]

Now where's Wu, when all this mooing is going on?

[Woolburr]

I suspect Wu is manning the salt mine. Someone here needs gainful employment to pay for the rest of us.

Yeah it's true! Although I've been on another thread, editing some photos (for suggestions...so I haven't been totally wasting my time, at least I hope not :lol: )

[wu_wei0]

wu is here and ready for a moo-- even if it is just a quickie

Bring it on!

Hey, sometimes a quick moo in the afternoon is the best kind! :lol:

[Woolburr]

Moo Moo Wu Wu!

[wu_wei0]

Hey, sometimes a quick moo in the afternoon is the best kind! :lol:
yup-- would that make it an after nooooon'er?
Moo Moo Wu Wu!

oooh- double time moo! or is it more a curly moe and larry moo?

I may be able to finish my day now.

Just found out I will not make it to the PO before they close. :(
I may just go to the Cstore and get some cheap beverage and then back home. save the pharma and the tubes for tomorrow's ever lengthening list of to dos. :(

Great. I have a no show. :( and its one of those they fit in to an already too tight schedule.

[Permagrin]

Moo Moo Wu Wu!

I thought I'd let you be the one to moo, good buddy! :lol: :lol:

yup-- would that make it an after nooooon'er?

Sorry about your tubes Wu...and your no show! Too bad you can send someone over to get them for you while you are stuck at your desk.

Well, I'm told that ice cream is best in winter...(you guys are seriously whacko...but that's okay...I'm still overly fond of you all!)

[saravrose]

haha.. We always eat icecream in the winter.. I can't explain why but, even if there's three feet of snow on the ground we'll still break out the icecream... strange I know... :oops: :p

[Woolburr]

Winter is the perfect time for ice cream...it doesn't melt so fast!

[Permagrin]

haha.. We always eat icecream in the winter.. I can't explain why but, even if there's three feet of snow on the ground we'll still break out the icecream... strange I know... :oops: :p

:lol: :lol: I think you are the 4th or 5th person on this thread to say they love it in winter.

Well guys, have to go get some work done.

Have fun.

[Woolburr]

Work? We don't need no stinkin' work! It is playtime...break out the ice cream.

[blonde]

i was debating long and hard if i wanted to join this thread after it already reached 90 pages. i decided against it :) (and yes, ice cream rocks in the winter)

[Tareq]

Hi all, i am newbie here (not in forum ofcourse).

:cry::cry::cry: I can't try my 16.7MP outdoor because of raining (i am scared if it is weather sealed really or just a rumor;);))

[Woolburr]

Come on in guys...we don't bite....I'm off to pick up my car and maybe shoot a photo or two. Have a look around. Lots to see.

[Permagrin]

Snir, it changes daily...there's nothing, absolutely nothing to catch up on :lol: :lol: :lol: !

Hi all, i am newbie here (not in forum ofcourse).

I can't try my 16.7MP outdoor because of raining (i am scared if it is weather sealed really or just a rumor;);))

Well try it indoor...post a photo of your son...it is weather sealed, just not weather proof.

and, Wool...you going to explain to Puddle, why I don't get any work done during the day :lol: :lol:

[Woolburr]

No rumor....it really works!

[Lightstream]

mooooooooooooooorning.... buttcraQ of dawn too over here.. cold.. the whole nine yards.etc.

Thank god for the coffee too.

[Tareq]

No rumor....it really works!

Don't worry;)
I took shots in Europe under raining with my 30D and XT, so those 1D bodies are powerful for Lightning and storms.

[Permagrin]

Oh, I forgot...cows do seem to have a part of this thread...not necc. photos of cows, though some have been posted. Just "mooo's" :lol: (a little moo now and then is cherished by the wisest men :lol: :lol: )

Morning LS...
I really do have to go work now, contrary to what it seems...

[Tareq]

Well try it indoor...post a photo of your son...it is weather sealed, just not weather proof.



Daughters you mean, ok, soon
I was looking to use natural light than flash, but no way.

[Lightstream]

mmmmmm cow.

The cow is a very useful beast.. it adds stuff to the coffee in the mooooooooornings...

[blonde]

That is fine too :D

You'll simply bring out all the cat lovers on this thread, of which there are plenty!

[blonde]

Mac: All right, how about Cat Game?

Foster: Cat Game? What's the record?

Mac: Thorny did six, but I think you can do ten.

Foster: Ten? Starting right meow?

[They go up to the car.]

Driver: Sorry about the...

Foster: All right meow. Hand over your license and registration.

[The man gives him his license.]

Foster: Your registration? Hurry up meow.

Driver: [laughing] Sorry.

Foster: Is there something funny here boy?

Driver: Oh, no.

Foster: Then why you laughing, Mister... Larry Johnson?

[Foster stares at him.]

Foster: All right meow, where were we?

Driver: Excuse me, are you saying meow?

Foster: Am I saying meow?

Driver: I thought...

Foster: Don't think boy. Meow, do you know how fast you were going?

[The man laughs.]

Foster: Meow. What is so damn funny?

Driver: I could have sworn you said meow.

Foster: Do I look like a cat to you, boy? Am I jumpin' around all nimbly-bimbly from tree to tree? Am I drinking milk from a saucer? DO YOU SEE ME EATING MICE?

[The man is uncontrollably laughing.]

Foster: You stop laughing right meow!

Driver: [Stops and swallows hard.] Yes sir.

Foster: Meow, I'm gonna have to give you a ticket on this one. No buts meow. It's the law.

[Rips off the ticket and hands it to the man.]

Foster: Not so funny meow, is it?

[Foster gets up to leave, but Mac shakes his hands at him, indicating only nine meows.]

Foster: Meow!

[Lightstream]

mmmmm mice ;)

[liza]

Me.

I'm hostile by nature, or so I'm told.:rolleyes::mad:;)

You? Hostile? I think not. :)

Yeah it's true! Although I've been on another thread, editing some photos (for suggestions...so I haven't been totally wasting my time, at least I hope not :lol: )

I need to edit several hundred this evening of the last few bball games so I can get them uploaded. I have two more games this week, and I'm going to be seriously behind if I don't. I already have people asking me why I don't have them posted yet.

Man...Tareq dood....you have been obviously watching this thread...you have too much cow material to not know what is going on here. I told you that you would fit in.

If you look around Snir...I think you will recognize most of the cast here.

Massive doses of Percocet is the key. Throw in a few Valium and I just smile the day away.

[theflyingkiwi]

now I can see my problem. I have never touch any valium :)

Hi all...
I got nothing done today...but I did work out and have cooked dinner and done laundry and shopped for Christmas baking. But no house cleaning.....

[wu_wei0]

[Maureen Souza]

I got called off work tonight...luckily they called me early. So I got a few things done around the house, went on a walk with Aaron, made dinner and now I am going to catch up on a little scrapbooking.

[saravrose]

I joined Netflix.... There's a few friends up here who have it and love it.. so I figured why not?.. But, I want to see that movie about the photographer in South Africa... anybody remember what it's called?

[Permagrin]

Sari, do you know anything more about the movie? Who's in it or anything?

I've never done scrapbooking (daughter has though...has great fun with it). Btw. you jigsaw & painting and now this...I'm starting to think you might be a very crafty person ;)
