Didn’t we already? Call tarragon Herbs, I mean.
Screw the thunderstorm. If I die, I’ll die posting to the Dope.
Special1, thanks for the hug last night. I needed it. Today was quite a bit better. You helped.
But how many times are you going to tell us it’s morning? It’s morning all the time there, isn’t it? How come it’s never afternoon or evening there? Hmm.
Mork, actually, part of my bad feeling was about the 4th of July. Every year, the neighbors have a big bash outside of my house. For the last several years, I asked them quite vehemently to stop. This year, one of the neighbors told me that it’s not going to happen. I did a big snoopy dance and was all happy. But they say they’re going to move the party, so I’m apprehensive about where and when because the likely place they’ll move it is behind my house which is better but still has the noise issue. And since this year, the 4th of July is in the middle of the week, I’m concerned about when they’re going to be up late blaring their stereo. It’s Tuesday night and all is quiet here, so I’m crossing my fingers for one more day. To all my neighbors: Get off my lawn!
About the mango, I think I know what kind you mean. It has a nickname. I can’t think of it. It’s on the tip of my tongue. . . gah! Anyway, I’m not sure if this happens to you, but if I don’t wash very thoroughly after I cut open a mango, I get a rash, so just a heads up in case this happens to you also.
Arky, I like your Pit name. It’s so original. 
Perhaps that can be your nickname here? 
Hmm, a two-smilie line. There’s a rule against that, isn’t there?
Haze, thanks for the hug. It’s much appreciated.
Jahdra, ooh, ooh, a new Trader Joe’s. . . with wide aisles. How exciting!!
SCL, good luck tomorrow. I’m sure you’ll do great! Those beads are beautiful.
FCM, your bum mode is my regular mode. I hope to one day get to your regular mode–how much I could get done with that much energy!
Hell, I don’t know! I can barely remember my own name here, much less everyone else’s nick. <grumble, whine>
I think I’m grumpy because it has been brought to my attention that I need to lose weight. I thought I WAS, but this doctor’s office doesn’t think so.
PS-I am not obese. I need to lose 10 pounds. This sucks.
Can someone string my violin, please? And rosin up that bow!
Yes, a double post. Cope.
Heff–I hope the 4th goes all right for you. Sorry for your recent troubles.
I am also concerned re the 4th. I have to get at 0430 on the 5th, and really won’t appreciate all the bottle rockets my 50+ neighbor shoots off every year. He was in Vietnam-I just say that over and over to myself…
rigs, thanks so much!!
I feel like quite the whiner compared to the things you’ve been going through recently. In one of my posts earlier in the week, I compared my fatigue to yours, then while I was taking a shower, I got a :smack: and thought, oh wait, of course, she’s fatigued, she has pneumonia. . . I was just a little worn out from the sun. So I apologize for that.
I hope things get better for you soon also and that the neighbors at both of our places behave themselves.
It’s all relative. I’d rather have walking pneumonia than lots of things. If anything, it’s given me a lovely month (almost) OFF of work I find tiresome. At 44, that’s not bad.
really thundering now, over here. Should go to bed, but not sleepy. Tired, but not sleepy. Why? why?
Aren’t we a bunch of night owls?
I just finished chatting with someone from OkCupid. Who writes stories about women with breasts that “threaten to spill out onto the table.” :dubious: He told me he was waiting for a girl to call him so they could go out on a date, and then in the next breath he gave me his number and asked me to call him sometime. I think I’ll pass.
I love the sound of thunderstorms, as long as the thunder isn’t loud enough to make me jump out of my skin. Good thing I don’t have class tomorrow.
:eek: If you didn’t pass, I’d have to come up to Hyde Park (on the Metra, dear) and beat you upside the head.
You should have asked him if he meant mounds of woman flesh (I read that in a book once–I immediately thought of Orcs and LOTR–killed the mood right off…)
Tis thundering LOUDLY here and lightning. And pouring. Off to bed soon, just to see if I can sleep…
::Blinks at the big, bright, yellow sun right outside his window:: it’s nighttime? It’s always morning here… (well, Roo said so, so it must be true :))
**Rigs **-- if all you need to lose is 10 pounds (quick mental arithmetic – yep, under 5 Kg) – then, damn, you’re in good shape!
{{Heff}} and {{Rigs}} – hope things shape up for both of you! {{Roo}} – you too 
Just because.
(obligatory flirt) As for **Haze **-- I think your shape is fine as it is
All of you enjoy the 4[sup]th[/sup] of July!
Thanks, but please be careful about calling me two different names. The mods might think that I’m two different people. And they’re pretty trigger happy about wanting to charge two different member fees for that. Believe me, it’s come up more than once. And I’ve dodged the bullet every time. I try to tell them. . . they’re animated characters! Mostly, I’m saved because of tomndebb. Now, if someone started calling him debb, I think he might be in trouble too.
Are you sure you’re a pair of Animated Characters? Not… oh, say… Sock Puppets? :eek:
(d & r)
Morning all, it’s finally sunny here instead of damp and drizzly! Yesterday we had the most amazing thunderstorm which was quite intense, but I was at work so didn’t get to sit and watch it properly.
The lady from Cat’s Protection came round last night and we had a go at trapping Stanstead, he wasn’t having any of it. So she came round again this morning for another go. This time we’ve left the trap open with both my cats shut in the house so they can’t spring it. She’s coming back this afternoon after she finishes work (about 2pm) to see if he’s finally given in and gone in for the tuna we left. If that doesn’t work, she’ll come back with a normal carry-box and I’ll just try getting hold of him and putting him in it.
Other than that, it’s Wednesday, I have loads of really exciting meetings today about database stuff, and it’s beerverage night! Woohoo!
Happy 4th to you!
woke up at 4 with what may have been a hot flash (oy!) or it could have been a cat sleeping on my chest, all that fur, you know. Why I didn;t just go back to sleep after getting some water is beyond me. It’s getting light out, but it’s also cloudy so it’s a subdued sort of light. I’m very gald I don’t have to go to work today.
except now I’m hungry and it’s way too early for breakfast - at this rate, I’ll have dinner at 3pm. I’ll go back to bed soon, probably sleep til 11 or so, unless my neighbor resumes work on his new deck and patio below it.
Haze, it was my whole reason for choosing a “roleplay” server in WoSW. I tend to dislike so-called “heavy roleplayers” (we have different definitions of what roleplay is, see below) but it’s the only kind of server where I can look at the chat window without wanting to gouge my eyes out.
To me, “roleplay” must include creating a character that makes sense in the pre-defined world in which you’re playing. For example, if you’re roleplaying someone in a tribe of cavemen it would make no sense to be an architect. Too many of the “heavy” RP’rs I’ve met in the game insists in being a half-dragon/half-elf, or Camelot, or suchlike. There’s the occasional group who decides to have a guild of “characters we only use for RP events” like being available to dance at weddings… but they’re few and far-between. Plus, there’s this add-on that lets you write a description of your char and usually those have no relationship with what’s on screen. Every gnome who has that add-on is the tallest gnome ever :smack: (they’re all the same height)
kai, yay on feeling better.
rigs and kangoliphant, I hope you do feel better soon.
Jah, someone must have cursed you at some point. You have one of those too-interesting lifes, or at least “material for several characters in the same Mexican culebrón” ones.
I’d post in the Mafia V thread, but I did two microposts tossing paperballs at someone who apparently finds my location field too esoteric and nobody has posted after that, so if I post again now then he’ll say I’m post-padding. AAARGH! De’stres, de’stress…
HappyMuffin, I’m glad you like your nickname.
Everybody from Over There Between Mexico and Canada Plus Exotic Appendages,,
Happy July 4th!
Up and caffeinating, then off to work. Happy 4th of July! to all the Merkins, and happy Hump day to everyone else on Earth.
**dogbutler **-- I feel so left out of everything 
(hump day is Tuesday here)
**Nava **-- copycat
Then Happy Wednesday, Special1!!!
What? It’s not my fault if the phrase is “red, white and blue” and the blue doesn’t show well without the spoiler!
Jooooooooooooo!
Thanks! I’d take the vacation day instead, though…
The blue doesn’t show well without the spoiler? :dubious: (paging Gaudere! Paging Gaudere!!)
And it was my idea first. Mine! Mine!!!11!! I tellz ya.
Nava, I know what you mean. About the Cult game. I’m already being accused of posting nothing but fluff and of being defensive. I guess their eyes just slide by my posts when I post something; and I made a grand total of one fluff post at the start of the game. I almost hope I’ll get killed off early in this one, it’s not nearly as much fun as the last one. It’s a game, folks! Don’t take it so frimpin’ seriously.
I am waiting for my ride. I am very nervous.
