Pugs, I think they’re shopping for a distributor right now. I will, of course, keep you all updated.
Weirdo, it was very easy to find the building. The description I was given was “It’s a sort of weird lookin upside down trapezoid or something.”
It was exactly that.
no no no. we can’t call The Weird One ** “Weirdo”! Weirdy** maybe, or something else entirely. But calling someone “weirdo” just evokes too many negative images and memories.
My stage nightmares were me not knowing my music; but **Drae ** has got me thinking - I could scan in some of my HS & College theatre pics - we’ll see.
**Drae ** - feel better, will ya? You want to be in top form for the fest.
Oh, I’ve got more than a week, and Roomie got over this in two days. I should be fine. 
Sshhhhhh! I’m sneaking in from the 'puter here at my BOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRING training to post.
For the record, I am NOT a lush. I ordered one, teeny, tiny Kamikaze straight up. And…it was teeny tiny. I didn’t get testy, I didn’t think. The waiter was not only DEAF, but slow.
However, I had a wonderful time with FCM, welby, and welbywife. It was quite the adventure trying to find the restaurant and I felt I deserved the drink anyway. The others can fill you in on the adventures in my training class, or I will next week. **FCM, ** was quite the sweetheart and picked me up for the mini-dopefest. I really, really appreciated it!
Swampy, you would have been proud of me. I ordered pork for dinner.
I miss my hubby, kids and my dog. I check in every night with them.
Finally, the freakin’ AC in the arctic freeze classroom I’m in has given me a FREAKIN’ cold. I informed the instructor this morning that hypothermic students can’t learn much.
I’ve got to dash.
Hi all! I miss you.
Good luck, Dots, and feel better soon, Drae. Ginger tea helps with nausea.
welby, that was really cool. Thanks for keeping us updated about the movie. Can I say that I know a genuine movie star? I think I can. Also, if I’m going to send you Canadian goodies I’ll need your address. Hmm. In a couple of weeks I may just send out a bunch of random care packages. That would be fun.
Today I baketh bread, cinnamon buns, and chocolate danish, and then we goeth forth bed shopping with Driving Husband. Any advice? I have never bought a bed before.
my CD drive awaits the cinnamon buns
in exchange - my philosophy on bed buying - try everything in the store, in which sleeping positions you normally use. Watch out for the really deep matresses - sheets will never stay one them (look how long the linens people took to catch up the last time the matress people increased the depth) - Get a pillow top. Not too soft, you’ll need a little resistance for tossing and turning in your sleep. That’s all I can think of. Have Fun (maybe Driving Husband could lie down next to you to simulate Legal Husband’s movements)
I agree with trying out every mattress in your actual sleeping position. When I went first-time bed-shopping, the saleslady told me to lie down on the mattress, then yelled at me. “You don’t actually sleep like that, do you? Go nuts, girl!”
Then I began throwing myself down on mattresses and curling up and wishing I had pillows and stuff.
LILi you should lie down on the mattresses and test 'em. Maybe bounce up and down a little to see what kind of give they have. It’s important to do this. If you fall asleep on one, then you know that that’s the one to get. That’s my advice.
Taters I am proud of you for ordering pork. Pork is always a good choice. It’s the other white meat after all. It’s even funny if you get to order <snerk> Pork Butt! <snerk>
Sean of course Lorelei is a tramp. Luke is an idiot. IMO a tramp and an idiot would make a perfect pair. I’m at the point where I want them to get married so they’ll quit inflicting themselves on other poor innocent individuals. Not that Christopher is all that innocent himself.
Mrs. Lissar – My bed advice: We have the Tempur-Pedic mattress and love it. They’re ruther pricey, though. But we love it. We’re not young like you, however, and our old bones neeeed the Tempur Pedic. Yes. Neeeeeed.
You all have seen this picture before. But here’s me in the black pearls. And two sons. Taken a year ago, so lil baby cherry is considerably bigger, today.
:eek: A Floating Head Boy! :eek:
1.) I found a '80s punk internet radio station. Today is much better than it was yesterday here at Technical Thingies, Inc. because of it. (How can anyone feel grumpy after hearing some Dead Kennedys and New York Dolls?)
2.) I got a fortune from lunch Monday. It’s a return to those senseless one I used to get.
In music, one must think with his
heart and feel with his brain.
3.) Hi, scout!
Everybody says that when they see that picture. Gah. He. Has. A. Head. :mad: :dubious: :rolleyes:
Ha! A BODY, rather. :smack:
What did I miss? Who in hell are Luke and Lorelei? Are you two watching Genital Hospital or sumpthin?
<snerk>…in bed… <snerk>
Ick! Presentation is going to give me bloody eyeballs before the day is out…all stats. 
li-li, I was gonna say DON’T get a pillow-top before rosy suggested you should. Eh, try one out and see if you like it. If you have Rooms To Go up thatyway, they have really good sales and prices on brand mattresses and box springs.
ellen, very chic! Bodyless boy is quite charming. Is his name Mat? 
bobbio, I’m guessing they are from Gilmore Girls but I like your TV show name better.
Mattress buying: pay as much as you can afford.
You truly get what you pay for. We bought a great mattress a few years back and it’s held up fine. We went on the cheap for #1 son (we were tight on money at the time)–this thing is a piece of ____. It has not held up.
Also, flip your mattress upon occasion–it has extended the life of our’s no end.
I quadruple rolling around etc–you’ll look a fool, but you’ll sleep well…and which is more important, in the end?
Off to stoopit meeting (must really fight the “well, I got into grad school, so I can just quit my job” feeling that I have right now).
Bills and tuition and health insurance. Bills and tuition and health insurance. Keep repeating that to myself.
I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to make sheets bigger. We’re thinking about queen size, because a double is too short for Mr. Lissar, and I’m not absolutely thrilled at the thought of buying all new sheets. I’ll probably measure th new mattress, rip up an old sheet, and use it to extend our favourite sheets.
This will mean lots of sewing. Great.
Oh, I forgot to mention: on the bus yesterday I saw someone with the back of his wrist pierced. Ugh. Ow. Is this a trend I’m missing or something? Of all the really stupid places to get pierced that there are on the body, wrists and necks are the dumbest.
Makes me think of that old movie “The Man with Two Brains.”
Lissa, that sounds like it really hurt! And I should know, what with my nose pierced and all. I don’t know why you would do it, I can’t even imagine it looking pretty…it’d just look like something was caught on your wrist. Plus I shudder to think of sweaters. I had my nose ring pulled out once by a quilted blanket…I’ve learned never to use quilted blankets.
