well, it IS!
eta
you betcha!
Really? :eek: But WHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY…
I totally forgot it was Holy Thursday. I am such a bad Catholic.
I’ve always wondered where I am on the Kinsey scale. I’ll be perfectly honest and say I’ve liked making out with girls, in my admittedly limited experience. Lesbian stuff turns me on. But I’ve never quite experienced any chemistry/sexual tension with any individual girl, the way I have with some guys.
Puggy there was no kitchen sink in the bathroom. I’ll try to explain this, but who knows if it will make sense. The way the house is set-up the bathroom and kitchen are back to back. The sinks share one wall and plumbing. There was something about the bathroom sink was dripping and it was due to the kitchen sink and they had to take the pipes out of the kitchen sink and replace them. I had to deal with no water to the kitchen for almost two days. That is not a good thing.
I just realized that it’s my Firday today!!! YAY!!!
Me too.
6am is too early on any day. I prefer to not know that it exists. Im my mind, 7 is too early too. Noon, however, is a good time to wake up. I am not a morning person.
And yes, sometimes we do need to use a little force to keep the boys in line. It’s ok. They like it. 
Me too.
Unfortunately for me of the girls I kissed, one was a good friend who was quite drunk and had a fiance at the time (I was drunk too, which is why it got so far as that but had enough presence of mind to stop it because I draw the line at people who are in relationships) and the other was a girl who was just trying to tittilate my roomie and try to get in his bed. So yeah, I’ve had bad luck there, and no real opportunities lately with either sex. 
My headache seems to be fading now. Hopefully the gate doesn’t buzz too much and start it up again (which is what started it yesterday, it can get loud in my office. ). And I need to call Mom and ask her to toss a couple more things in my bag before she brings it (and Velociraptor) to meet me downtown so we can get on a bus to see Dad.
Easter just seems to have snuck up on me, and I’m a bad Catholic anyway, but like I told a lady last night ‘It just seems to have jumped out at us…’
maybe I’ll tell you about my limited same sex experience in the new MMP… (which I still intend to host, gt)
Yeah, Easter is a sneaky bastard.
Butterfly, first time we meet IRL, we can totally make out. 
Very funny, BBobbio. I am shocked, shocked, I tell you.
rosie, now you have to share. Hey, I shared! Share and share alike.
Sounds like a plan Java. 
Very interesting convos going on this am. Whatever was in the caffeinated beverages today, hmm?
Yesterday’s damp weather apparently freaked out many of the joints in my body; I could barely walk without pain and didn’t have any alleve (naproxin) at work. I ended up going home at noon, had some lunch, then took some alleve and laid down. I must have gotten my sleep schedule all fouled up, because I napped for just about 3 hours yesterday afternoon, then fell asleep around 9:30 PM and woke up at 1 AM. I finally got back to sleep around 4:30 AM, and of course overslept. However, I had the strangest dream!
In the dream, for some reason my family (including my deceased Mom and Dad, who were divorced in 1978) was traveling across country together, in a car/station wagon. Then we stopped to pick up my brother’s wife and his two kids, and I nearly physically attacked my SIL (who, btw, I’ve never met although I’ve seen pics of her - and the “dream” SIL did not look like the RL one! LOL); I’ll be honest here, I don’t like my SIL very much, even though I’ve never actually met her, but because she’s treated my brother badly. Anyways, I tried to strangle her. Then, I left the station wagon and went into a nearby maill to get something to eat. I went to a bakery/pastry shop and was looking at these fancy cakes but when I asked for a slice, the cake slice collapsed! Then someone came into the bakery and found me and told me it was time to leave … and that’s when I woke up.
So strange!
no, it’s a teaser, like a movie trailer, so you’ll all tune in on Monday… :insert evil grin here:
I’m getting ready to head over to the new house.
I’ve got a serious question for my fellow mumpers-
Is it really that much of a crime to have mismatched appliances in your kitchen?
I’ve got a white fridge, black double oven, the dishwasher they left is stainless, and the cooktop is TBA. We bought the fridge nine years ago, and it has an awesome chilled milk door. (Not the one that opens from the outside though, we couldn’t find that at the time.) That was an upgrade from the harvest gold fridge from before. I spent a lot of time picking out this fridge, and I love it. The double oven I got when my grandparents remodeled their kitchen, they now have a one piece deal, and I love a double oven! It’s black, but I’m okay with that. And while I’m not a huge fan of stainless, the dishwasher is only four years old. I’m not going to replace something that has been barely used. We’re going to buy a new cooktop for the new place because the one I currently have should stay in it’s place.
I’m okay with them not matching. But I’ve read here on the board and a lot of other places that it is such a bad thing to do to your kitchen. And we’re not going to be able to replace the fine 60’s linoleum that is currently in the kitchen for at least a year, so the thought of the snickering…
Bah!
I’m also at a loss of what to do with the kitchen, the cabinets are a very dark almost walnut stain. I’m totally replacing the hardware, and had given thought to painting them white, but changed my mind, it’s got great light coming into it, and they are in really great shape. The countertop has to go though, it’s…lumpy laminate. In a really horrid brown.
I spend so much of my time in the kitchen, and I’m giving this way too much thought, but Gah!
I’ll take some pictures today and see what you guys think tonight.
TagFree, if that’s a crime, I’ll probably be put on death row. Then again, I’m still of the “single-20-somethings-living-in-different-apartments-every-year” tribe, so what do I know?
If you purposely mismatch your other kitchen acoutraments, (tables, chairs, kitchen linens, small appliances) then you can call it “eclectic”!
Ok, I’m going to risk getting gang kicked here by stating for the record that I like mornings, prefer to be up early, and that my best work schedule EVAR was 0500-1530 with W-Th-F off. Commence the throwing of brickbats at my head on my mark… wait for it!.. NOW!
beebs–SMACK!! Just 'cuz all the cool kidz are doing it…
flower–Unassailable strategy, double your dating pool, wise choice Grasshopper! Girls are cuddly and smell good but men have muscles and penises–ah, choices! It’s like the dating buffet, isn’t it? 
Pie–I think your family is like most in that they expect that somehow grocers and suppliers will magically GIVE you food for nothing and that you will charge nothing for your labor because you loooooove your family, feh. I’d rather get a cheese grater enema than cater for a family event just for this reason, and my family is actually pretty reasonable! It’s too bad they didn’t just opt for the dinner because you’re right, it would be a LOT less expensive than fussy appetizers.
Taters–check out this page of diuretic foods. If the damned doctors won’t help you, ya gotta take matters into your own hands. “Honest, doc, it just so happens that my favorite meal is a huge steak served with an asparagus, celery, dandelion, parsley and artichoke salad washed down with coffee and tea!” Hey, you have nothing to lose but your appetite!
Noone–PPBBBLLTTTHHH!!! Or something… 
Happy Equinox, y’all! Yeah, I’m three hours late but I’ve been busy.
How did I miss **Haze’s ** post before. :smack:
I agree **Haze ** lesbian stuff turns me on too. I’ve always wanted to kiss a girl, but never had the opportunity.
Glad I’m not alone in that.
Tagfree I say that mis-matched appliances are fine. If they really bother you, they make a spray paint called applicance epoxy. I wouldn’t feel comfortable using it on the oven, but anything else I’d be willing to try to spray. But that’s just me. If you give me spray paint, I can be dangerous, lol. That is how I had a black Christmas tree one year.
Here is a link to one: http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=101 If I recall correctly, it was under $5 a can at Home Depot.
Pie, that menu sounds yummers, and very reasonably priced to boot. I should hire you to cater my next party at home… for $9 a person, having someone else do the cooking and cleanup sounds like one hell of a bargain. Too bad you’re not in Toronto.
TagFree, I know I didn’t consider appliances to be a big concern when we were shopping for houses. I was mostly looking at the layout of the kitchen itself - it’s one thing not to like the stove itself, because it’s fairly easy to replace with a new one, but it’s another thing to wish the stove was in a different place entirely because that’s a complicated and tedious change to make. We passed on some otherwise gorgeous houses because the kitchen was too small for two of us, or just had piss-poor layout.
Keep the cabinets, as long as there’s enough light to keep the room from looking like a cave. The current trend in kitchens seems to be dark-stained wood anyways, and no point going through the hassle of painting/changing hardware if they’re in good shape. Countertop isn’t a dealbreaker either - that’s another affordable and easy fix.
So it’s official, I have Teh Sick. I rarely get sick, but somehow my immune system has a knack for going on vacation just a couple of days before I do. I spent most of my Christmas holiday feeling like a truck ran over me, and now I get to spend Easter sniffling and horking up a lung. Unfair, I tell ya.
Even better, I get to sniffle and hork up a lung during a 5-6 hour drive to Montreal (with a pit stop in Kingston to pick up Sister Dearest), because we’ll be spending Easter Weekend with Mother Dearest as we do every year. Sigh. I really needed a restful weekend, and this promises to be anything but… but I can’t exactly cancel just because I don’t feel well either.
No snow tomorrow, pls. The drive is going to suck donkey balls as it is.
ETA: My bi-curious stage died a quick death when I realised that I’m really just turned on by the idea, but the reality didn’t live up to it. Girls are too… squishy? soft?.. something like that.
well, heck, if you’re gonna use those, don’t just blanket the things with color, make patterns, designs, psychodelic flowers! Wow, man!
It looks like we’re having Indian takeout for Easter dinner. Fine with me. Pass the butter chicken.
Never made out with a girl, so I can’t comment on whether it’s nice or not. Apparently I have with boys, though. :stares at baby:
It only matters if you are selling according to the HGTV gurus. If it doesn’t bother you, then no sweat. I do know that you can replace the doors on appliances like dishwashers and wall ovens.
I can’t imagine an old crone like me looking to lock lips with another old crone. Scary thought.
