Unstructured Thoughts - What Are You Thinking Now?

[Doctorthingit]

Please read before deciding there's no reason for you to post a reply.

I really don't post as much at message boards as I used to. And there's a reason for that. I get distracted, very easily. I'm just the kind of person with thoughts that often aren't structured. They just happen. For instance, if I'm worried about something, I usually don't want to discuss it but I'd like to just state it. Black and white, clear as crystal, once and have done with it. Unless of course someone else could or has been able to relate to that thought and wants to add to it. I don't want to start a dozen short posts about abstract thoughts just because when I have them I want to discuss them very much. It would be more sensible to, in a sense, have a graveyard for them where I could bury them as they arise.

This simply would eliminate worthless topics which no one would reply to and there's no worry about this topic getting off-topic because that's how it starts. It's not about establishing a pattern of off-topic topics. But for instance... I'm getting a headache right now, so I'd like to elaborate more on this post later on. But I wanted to try and create a post for random thoughts anyone were to have. In case the person having them really felt like sharing them.

I don't have one right now, but I could spill my guts about a lot of little things to other people that mean something to me.

[Zombie-F]

Good idea.

Another forum I post to has "weekly" thread. A thread that's opened each week for such posts, perhaps I will steal that idea and use it here and we can have a weekly thread for these kind of "unstructured thoughts". Sound good to you?

By the way, that idea is from http://www.halloweenforums.com

[Doctorthingit]

Sounds perfect. I never participated in the Weekly Thread. Now I'm thinking I should have at least checked it out. But I've been at several forums which had the same thing. Only if I were to post something, it would be something that either bummed me out or something I was really excited about. This is hardly my Seinfeld idea. In case no one was interested in what I was saying they would have the warning of knowing everything that was coming in the post by the subject heading or first short paragraph.

For instance, this one ends with a question, though not poll material.

I had an experience this afternoon where I was spending time with a distant friend. And everytime we're together, it's all about what she wants to listen to. I suggested listening to a few things she liked in the time we've spent together over the past few months. Now I realize full-well why she and I are this distant, she's selfish as all hell. It's all about what she finds weird, we can't watch it. What she says "she don't know", she doesn't want to hear. Ever. Well, that narrows the field of what we might listen to or watch while we're together, so I never return her phone calls. I visit often, though I realize I should do less of that.

Does anyone find themselves in a relationship where they feel this much like getting out?

[RAXL]

Not really the same as yours Doc, but along a similar vein.
I was friends with this one kid from about 4th grade through the end of high school. Figure 8 years or so. That's a pretty long time to know someone at that point in your life. And it got to the point where we had literally done just about every thing we could do. I mean we hung out almost every day.
In high school I started hanging out with other kids. By the time we graduated I was doing more with them than with my other friend. Because I was doing new things, with new people.
It got to the point with my old friend, where he didn't WANT to try anything new, or even do any of the old things we used to do, and have fun with.
We just kinda stopped hanging out after a while.
I don't know. I feel bad about it, but what can you do? People just move apart .

[Zombie-F]

I've been there too Thingit.

I had a friend (Raxl will know exactly who he is) who I hung out with from about the 7th grade up until around the time I was about 22 or so. We used to do alot together, but he fell into this pattern of only wanting to do a few different things and if you didn't want to do those things with him, he wouldn't bother with you. He was also terribly selfish to a point where he'd come over, eat all your snacks, drink your soda, etc and then just leave.

He turned into a real user. Only wanting to be around if he needed something from you. Eventually, I just stopped calling him. I used to hear from him every now and again whenever he needed something, but because I wouldn't help him out any more, he just kind of stopped calling.

I think he finally got the point when my brother bumped into him after my wedding and told him I was married. Realizing he wasn't invited to the wedding must have sent some kind of a message to him about how the friendship was looked at by me now.

[lipstikgrl]

i have one friend that I met in kindergarten and we are still friends, but other than her friends come and go. i had a very good friend all through high school and a little after. we were very close but people grow apart. she chose to do what she wanted to in life and i chose to do my thing and they did not mesh together. so we stopped hangin. i do not feel i lost a friend, if she called me in need i would be there for her but i would not call her up and ask her to go out. i think it happens to everyone as you get older and grow as a person.

[SuFiKitten77]

When I was in second grade, I became friends with someone .. and over the years we became best friends and were inseperable. Our senior year in highschool she started dating this guy who didn't care for me and she started spending less and less time with me. Life does that, I do understand. Over the summer after graduation my mom became really sick and needed a kidney transplant. I had just lost my brother the year before, and this was a difficult thing. Luckily my aunt was a match, and she had a succesful transplant. Over the next year we still didnt talk much, I tried calling, emailing, and so on .. but she was always too busy. I had a baby boy, and I almost died .. she still couldn't pull herself away from her guy to be there for me. Though I was hurt, being who I am I still was there for her when he cheated on her and broke her heart. When my mom passed away from cancer and she still kept her distance, that was the last straw for me. We still talk very occasionally, but things will never be the same. Life makes you grow up .. and sometimes it opens your eyes to how people really are. That's just how it goes :rolleyes:

[Doctorthingit]

7:18 thought, one I have whenever I'm on a horror/Halloween board (are there others? Maybe a Halloween dot com or something...?)


I love pop music. Good pop music touches your soul. Sure a lot of it is synthetic, overpolished, shallow. And that brings down it's reputation. But I love good pop music. I sing to it, I dance to it, I've loved it since I was a kid. I know it's not exactly chiq for horror fans to like anything but rock music. But I love pop, among other kinds of music horror fans don't exactly gravitate toward. I usually listen to music that touches me anyway, music I can connect to emotionally, a sound I can really unwind to. Something that can really help melt the tension in me. Something I can scream my soul to.

[Doctorthingit]

Can you believe this shit? I went to my local town Pizza Place and ordered: Pizza, Grinder, and enough orders of chicken fingers to feed 5 people. Taking a look at the chicken fingers, these things are burnt almost completely black. Called the place up and explained that these things are uneatable, after tasting one, all you taste is the burn. Well I didn't call up, my gal pal did. She says if we go there tomorrow when they open, we should be able to get our money back. I told her we should really save some of the chicken to show them we're not fucking around. No guarrantee whoever burnt them in the first place is still working tomorrow. She fed it all to the dogs. Poor damn dogs! If you stripped the actual chicken meat, you would have some decently spicy chicken meat. Which the dogs would go nuts for. But the crisp on the outside is thick, too thick to salvage anything of it.

[Doctorthingit]

I got the money back for those chicken fingers.

Right now, I hate film-talk dot com. First of all, those people are SO BORING! Second, the moderators are freaks. One guy has a ranking level upon how close a person is to getting banned from the site and I'm up to 67%, it's called the Warn Meter. Yet the funny thing is, NOBODY FUCKING WARNED ME before it first notched up to 33%. Then suddenly I get suspended for a whole fucking week and nobody told me why. When the week was up and I finally was able to actually view the forum, one of the moderators sent me a private message telling me I used the word "church" and that that automatically gets you a one-week suspension... CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SHIT?!!! There was absolutely NO mention of that anywhere in the Official Rules. Now, the other moderator I butted heads with asked me a question. When I gave him a long and VERY INTELLIGENT answer, the fact that I actually knew what I was talking about rubbed him the wrong way and he closes the thread. Which of course now makes it impossible for me to say publically that I think he's a big baby and that I'm so sorry I outsmarted him. And everyone at that board keeps claiming that I'm insulting and condescending them when they have no idea what I'm saying. They won't even try and ask. They are basically trying to make it look as though I'm starting trouble to whatever moderator has the power to suspend me again.

[SuFiKitten77]

My rambling for the day .. I wish that my future family by marriage wasnt acting so childish. My dad and future step mom went to pick up some of her things and the little bastards JUMPED my dad!! Dad had to go to police station and fill out report, and there wedding is tomorrow. Comes down to the fact that there free ride is over and they are actually going to have to go out and get a job and make a living. Hope they don't show up tomorrow .. could be more trouble :(

[Doctorthingit]

Who's getting married tomorrow, SuFi?

[Doctorthingit]

I just had the SHIT scared out of me by Amazon.com. I get all my stuff by ordering through their Merchant-zShop sellers. I was on their site and all of a sudden every item's Used & New section was gone. But it's back now. So I can go on breathing like normal people.

[SuFiKitten77]

Who's getting married tomorrow, SuFi?

My dad is the one who got married yesterday .. it was a nice ceremony, evening turned out great. The shitheads who went after my dad didnt show up .. smart move :rolleyes: .. what am I thinking now? I wish that I was completly done moving .. moving sucks :mad:

[Zombie-F]

Yeah, moving sucks. I've done it four times in the past decade. Unpacking is the worst. You start doing it, then your motivation just kind of fizzles out and stuff stays packed away until you absolutely need it, at which point you don't even remember what box it's in.

We moved here almost four years ago and there's stuff still packed away in boxes in the attic.

[SuFiKitten77]

Hehe .. this is the third time I have moved four years .. I did still have stuff packed and decided I should go through it before I moved again. Still working on that project ;)

[Sinister]

Why is it that some months seem much longer than others? With the exception of a day here and there taken off, this really isn't true. Is it me, or does it seem like July has dragged on for about a month and a half? I hate summer anyway, but dammit all, we're finally at the end here. We still have August, and in some arenas September could also be called a summer month as a full two-thirds is dedicated to that hostile season. Autumn can't get here quick enough.

[Doctorthingit]

There are a few reasons why JULY has really dragged on for me. One is that I've had two pets get really sick. One of them died on the 5th of July due to intestinal problems, and now I've got one with some kind of eating disorder - he's so skinny and boney that he has no energy left. He'll probably die by week's end.

Then of course there are all the special DVDs I'm waiting for. Dario Argento's Trauma, Cemetery Man, The Fly: Collector's Edition, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer: 20th Anniversary Edition, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, Cat People, Roseanne: Complete First Season, and Without You I'm Nothing. I'm also DYING for updated news on the status of Image's announced special edition of Mario Bava's Twitch of the Death Nerve, which seems to have bit the dust but I'm really hoping has not.

[Sinister]

Sorry to hear about your pet woes, Thingit; I know how I would feel if my Persian were to get sick and die. He's like one of the family, and it would devastate me. :(

As for DVD releases I am waiting for, it seems that they're dragging their feet to a point that i think they'll never be released. A Subspecies box set was promised a few years back and so far, zippo. I would even be happy with the individual DVD's to be put out, but I'm not holding my breathe. I think that From Beyond was supposed to be released later this year, but I don't know when that's going to be. Heard about it at the beginning of this year and have heard nothing else. Night of the Demons 2 and The Drew Carey Show why haven't they been released to DVD yet? It's time for some of these studios to get moving and start releasing this stuff to the general public.

[Doctorthingit]

Yeah, MGM is supposed to release From Beyond and Dolls this year, in semi-special editions. The Howling II release was delayed from '04 but that should be out in September, with last year's promised The Lady in White. The one I'm waiting for is After Midnight (which has one hell of an ugly cover). I'm a sucker for anthologies.

[Non Compos Mentis]

I'm getting drunk off some some vodka laced grape kool-aid. Woohoo! I really miss my local college radio show that played metal & hardcore. My Sunday nights are not the same anymore. Now, I'm stuck listening to Matt Drudge. Looking forward to listening to Coast To Coast AM later. :)

[Doctorthingit]

I'm thinking right now about how I don't drink. Glad of that.

[Doctorthingit]

In the latest braindead Coca-Cola commercial, the teenagers are singing, "I'd like to teach the world to chill"... so naturally, they want to "buy the world a Coke." But Coke is a stimulant, so in effect it doesn't relax you, it tightens you up.

Oops on Coke.

[Sinister]

Since my latest incursion of putting stories in comic form along with Raxl's idea of Monsters Unleashed, I have a lot of ideas swirling around in the whorls of the brain. Good stuff, I think. We'll see if said ideas make it to paper, however. :D

[Doctorthingit]

I never got along with my parents, not really. We always fought, constantly, and we couldn't stand each other's tastes or beliefs. It sounds pretty standard for kids not to like what their parent's like, and to believe anything other than what their parents believe. But with me and my parents, my wanting to be as different from them as possible is based on their constant neglect of me as a person. They never took me seriously, rarely ever saw me for my strengths, always belittled anything I had to say.

I think if my parents died, I wouldn't be sad. I'm not even sure I'd feel bad. This is not to say I think they deserve to die. I don't want them to die, I want them to live a long time. But if they died, I would know that there was nothing I could have done to stop that. And I wouldn't be sad because I think that would be me feeling sorry for myself. And I could never feel sorry if my parents were to die. This is also not about my feelings about death, I believe in celebrating a person's life more than being sad that they are gone. But I will never celebrate my parents' lives.

Things would be different if my parents had lived their own lives. They didn't have any real friends. My father for instance, never ever went anywhere with all the friends he would say "hi" to at the grocery store or the post office. My mother for the last years I lived with my parents, never left the house period. Just to vacation, to have her hair done, and to court, one time. My parents basically had friends that they lost because they didn't keep in touch. They only wanted to spend time with family, so they did vacation with family members. The thing that upset me most about my parents is that they treated me like they did most of our extended family. They didn't pay attention to who I was. I was just either around them or I avoided them, which I did regularly. They would say to me, "we don't spend enough time together." But there was a good reason for that- they only treated me like I was a body surrounding them. Like our extended family.

My parents are both in what I expect is very poor health. I don't think either will live much longer than 3 years. I also think the basic state of health you're in is a reflection of who you are as a person. My parents were not exactly good or decent people. I know that I am very hard on people, I judge a lot, and have very high standards of people. Especially parents. But I know I'm far more obsessive than the rest of my family. I'm not a perfectionist, I'm just the kind of person when I start to do something, I just feel like it has to be as good as I can make it. I don't go looking for things to be compulsive about, but I accept a responsibility when I take it. I'm not a parent but if I were to be, I'd be the best kind as I understand that to be. Second-best wouldn't be good enough because you're dealing with another person's WHOLE life. And I resent my parents for a great deal of things. Most of all, their aversion to actually accepting that the job of parenting they did was below average. They never would apologize.

[Sinister]

I can relate to several points in your lengthy post, Doc, but I'll save any thing I have to say about it for another day. My post will seem trivial by comparison.

My throat hurts this morning. My doctor, or his aide, said this is normal for a surgery of this type as well as neck, shoulder and back pain between the shoulder blades all of which I have. They gave me some sort of collar that I have to wear for 4 hours a day that emits EMP's to help the bone they replaced in my neck to heal and knit together. From what I understand this is going to be a long process.

Added to which, I have a huge truck load of garbage to take to the local dump which I physically don't feel up to, but have to. It's not helping that the heat index is hovering around 100 degrees. Man, do I love Summer.

[Zombie-F]

Here's what I'm thinking now...

The forums were booming a mere two weeks ago, and now a few of the newer members that were VERY vocal then seem to have disappeared. I've been injecting new topics into the various forums on a regular basis to keep discussions going and ensure people stay interested, but still posting has dropped off. What am I doing wrong? :confused:

On top of that, it's only the 11th, and I've already exceeded half the traffic I had here last month. Why no new members? Are the links to the forums from the main site difficult to see?

Perplexing. If the traffic rate here keeps going the way it has been, I'll easily beat the 8000 unique visitors we had last October. I'll most likely top off 10k visitors. Wonder why so few of them visit the forums...

[Sinister]

I was wondering about that myself earlier. SuFiKitten seems to have completely disappeared. This is the end of Summer, so people may be out doing things. Plus, kids are all going back to school. Some of our younger members may be indisposed that way and and those on the board with kids may be trying to still sort things out in that aspect.

[Vlad]

I'm still here, lol. I'm so damned tired after spending each day in this heat. I should just sit in my nice air conditioned office and bark commands out over the Pa. system, lol.
August is a big vacation month, people are away. It's also coming down to the wire, and many serious haunters are spending less time on the forums, and more in the prop rooms. I know I will be soon also.
As far as finding this place, it was a fluke, I had just met Zombie, and on going through the links section there I saw his name and a link to here. I had never heard of it before, and I must belong to a half dozen forums, and three lists.
As far as unstructured thoughts, it's been bad times for me lately, and Halloween and haunting is just about the only thing that I'm into at all. I just want to coast along, and enjoy everyones company. But you can be sure I visit here at least twice a day. I have my own PC in my office next to the company one, and now that we have DSL at home, I can leave my work PC signed on all the time, and glance over at the "doings" on the boards while I do paperwork. Just don't sweat it Zombie. I've seen some good forums turn to crap when that happens, and this is a good forum. When did it start anyway?

[Doctorthingit]

Today for about half the day, my left cheek hurt, I slept through almost half of that. Feel better now. But I also had more family problems, I'm trying to wash my hands of them completely. Whenever we see each other, it's a huge disaster. Then I got a package in the mail from someone, a book that seems to be some kind of childrens' insects book. I didn't order it, so now I have to contend with either this means something I did order isn't coming or worse yet- credit card fraud. Of course it's possible that it was sent to me by mistake, I certainly haven't ordered anything for Connecticut in a month or so. And the package had the short version of my name and everything I order from Amazon.com is sent to my full name. Still I find myself suspicious.

Today was just a really bad day. One of those days when you realize how paltry the worrying you do on a normal day really is. When you know something is really wrong, you can hardly ignore it, and you can feel things are about to get worse.

At least, when I said a couple of weeks before that one of pets was really sick, at least little Brandy has been doing okay. I still think he's sick, he's really boney but at least he's getting out and moving his head around. I'm thinking he'll be around for another month or so. That's all I can ask. He is getting old.

[Sinister]

Alright, I'm angry now; no, I'm actually furious! Yet, there's absolutely nothing I can do about the situation. Let me explain.

How many of you out there have some form of Insurance on the jobs you work? Those of you that have it, know that when your paycheck comes in that a sizable chunk has been taken out for taxes and insurance. Where I work, we have short term/long term which I PAY FOR when you are out of work due to medical reasons, this is supposed to be reviewed and then sent out for approval. I have been off with my neck for three fucking weeks and guess what? I'M NOT GETTING IT! And why is this you may ask? It isn't the insurance company's fault, it's not my job's fault IT'S MY GODDAMN DOCTOR'S OFFICE FAULT! The reason? They STILL after three weeks with the papers I gave them before my surgery for this very purpose HAVEN'T FAXED THE MOTHERFUCKERS BACK TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY! WTF?!? I have called them, many, many times and the person they have to do such tasks hasn't done so simple a task as to fax a piece of paper! HOW CAN THIS BE? WHY IS THIS OLD BITCH STILL EMPLOYED? I'm sure this isn't an isolated incident; all this womans job seems to be is to fax shit!

The question that I am presented with is what to do. Should I drive thirty miles to take the peice of paper out of her hand and show her how they work something that may not have been around at the beginning of the Industrial Age when she was born, or should I finally give in and call Hospital Administration and report her incompetency? I don't really know what to do. I don't want to make enemies with the people who operate on me, but this woman I assure WILL be paid at the end of her pay period; I won't be! This is a gross display of negligence if I have ever seen one. I have bills to pay and food to put on the table, and if I don't get paid, then how am I going to do my own tasks properly. In my honest opinion, they need to fire this old bat and hire someone else more efficient. You guys have any suggestions?

[Doctorthingit]

If you can call Hospital Administration, do that. Tell them whether or not the secretary lady knows how to or just forgot about it, that your insurance company needs those papers and they'll either get the woman on it or maybe they'll do it themselves.

Exactly what took place on those calls you made? Was it a lot of waiting and no one answered? Or was it the same person, what exactly did she/he say? If you're dealing with the same person or even no one each time you call, you have to find a way to call someone else in that place, if you can't drive. Still, I'd say make more phone calls to more people, anyone else associated with the hospital, make them understand your situation if need be. They'll be forced to deal with her incompetency themselves.

Do you know that there is a hospital administration number, or is it one of those places where you punch in numbers for sectors of the building? Either way, if you get ahold of some kind of assistance, tell them you're having a problem with records or your insurance papers. And it would be great if you told them how long it's been since you visited them and that you're getting pressure from these various sources.

Tell me if there are any further developments.

[Sinister]

Usually, I get the answering machine. They call me back at the end of the day, when there's sweet fuck all you can do about anything until the next day. The lady (not the one that's causing the trouble) who I talk to is nice and all, but nice isn't going to keep the lights on in my house. I'm seriously thinking about making the drive if not today, then definitely Monday, if I haven't heard anything by the end of today and explain the situation to someone in administration. Any time you call the frigging hospital it's an exercise in frustration trying to get someone on the horn. At least being physically there, THEY WILL HAVE TO address the issue. We'll see and I will keep you all posted. Thanks for the advice, Doc.

[Sinister]

RUNAROUND UPDATE: The doctors office called me and said they called down to the old lady's office and talked to the girl who works with her and the oldster went out for surgery today. The paperwork had been returned to her Wednesday and today is Friday. The girl said that it will be faxed first thing Monday morning that it couldn't be done today, because she was leaving. Great. I'll believe it when I see it. One more fucking week before there's even a ghost of a chance I'll see some money. When this is all over, I'm reporting this bat, so maybe they can get her out of there and get someone in there that can actually do something. :mad:

[Doctorthingit]

We'll see and I will keep you all posted. Thanks for the advice, Doc.
You're welcome. I'm just sorry you're going to have to wait any longer for your money. You said the surgery was 3 weeks ago? Do you have any idea when you're going to be closest to healing? Also, does/did your boss at work call, to express anything and did you give them the full idea of when you'd be able to return?

[SuFiKitten77]

I am sorry to hear that you are getting the run around .. complete bullshit. I hope that everything wil work out in the end for you.

[RAXL]

Some headlines from today, that jumped out at me.

Legislature in congress that may allow Hawaii to seperate from the US, and form it's own nation.

Clinton laywers let Al-queda run free in US, and make laughing stock of 9-11 commission.

WMD's found in Iraq. Oops, sorry, that wasn't a headline. It was on page 18 of the Washington Post. My bad. Guess it's not that important.

Democratic Governors in Arizona and New Mexico suddenly change their minds about illegal immigrants, and declare STATES OF EMERGENCIES along their borders with Mexico.
I never thought I'd say this, but good for the democrats. It's strictly a political move, and toally different from their positions of three months ago, but I don't care. Now, they need to take it all the way, and deploy the National Guard along the border. National Security is too important to let politics get in the way.

[Doctorthingit]

The border problem seems to remain a border problem, isn't your man Bush doing anything to stop this? Oh wait, that's right, he's on vacation again isn't he?

[Non Compos Mentis]

Just drank a bottle of 18% red wine. I'm so wasted. yay, me, I'm so damn cool. :p

[Doctorthingit]

Again, I'm so proud of myself that I don't ever drink alcohol. In today's world where everyone's loose, drunk, and high, I'm a rebel.

[Omega]

Damn man, I wish this entire demo process would hurry the fuck up, I can't wait to here the finished result. Daniel said he'd get back to me on that subject but no call yet. I wonder how to start out searching for labels when I get the demo?! I really want to get into Nothing/Interscope but I wonder if Trent would even listen to it.

[Sinister]

Thinking now what I always think about this time of year: If it's this hot now, will Autumn actually come on time, or will we simply not have one again this year? Amazingly, we managed to have one in this part of the state last year, but I fear it was a total fluke. We usually slide right into Winter, with a couple of Fall-like days. I pray this doesn't happen this year. I want Summer to go away. I am so tired of it. :(

[SuFiKitten77]

Have to agree, I am all set with summer .. bring on the fall and COOL weather :D Also thinking I hate that I have to put my oldest cat to sleep this week :(, he is 18 and had a good life so I can feel alittle better knowing that .. though it does't make it all better.

[Zombie-F]

I had to put my cat to sleep when I was 21. He was 13 years old and had developed a tumor in his abdomen. It's not an easy thing to have to do, but it is more humane than making him suffer. Sorry to hear about your cat. :(

[SuFiKitten77]

Thank you, he developed a brain tumor and has went from over 15 pounds down to 5, it's time :( But he wont be suffering anymore. Thank you again.

[Sinister]

Sorry about that Kitten, I hope you get to feeling better quickly after this. I know there's a chance my cat Oscar may have to be put to sleep one day, and if it were to happen, I would be beside myself with grief. He's like one of my children. I'm sorry you're having to go through something so tragic. :(

[Non Compos Mentis]

Pat Robertson put his foot in his mouth the other day. :D I'm sure America has made more enemies with that statement he made. Now, we really need God to save us...

[Sinister]

When isn't Robertson making a damn fool of himself? Bring me up to speed, what did that dumb fuck say this time?

Onward and upward. My thoughts right now are centering around this collar that now adorns my neck. I have to wear it four hours a day. The doctor (actually his tech) says it emits EMP's that helps with healing the bones in my neck. There is cadaver bone, trying to meld with my own ( everybody say "Ahhh" and "Cool" because of the cadaver bones, altogether now.) but I for one don't think this device is doing anything toward the healing of my neck. I really feel no different than I did when I had the operation. I'm also becoming concerned that I might become addicted to pain killers. Funny thing is, I only take them at night so I can sleep and won't be kept up all night. Does this qualify as addiction? Maybe not, because I tolerate the pain all day without taking a one. I don't have an addictive personality, Coca-Cola is my only real addiction, have to have that caffeine in some way. :D

Maybe I'll talk to my Doc about this, otherwise, I'll just grin and bear it. Pain sucks when you're in a steady state of it.

[Non Compos Mentis]

You haven't watched the news or read the papers. Just go to a news site.
I'll keep it brief. He said that the President of Venezula should be killed or something to that effect.

Its a long story and I only caught part of it. I heard the comment he said on the news and almost wet myself. I was WTF? This guy dosen't have all his marbles.

[dougspaulding]

Well, if you're taking one to be able to sleep, that might indicate potential addiction (assuming the pain isn't too great at night). If you don't really need them to sleep, but desire some sort of sleep aid, try melatonin. It's natural, and works great.

[Sinister]

By the time I take one to sleep, the pain has made it to where I can't. It has nothing to do with slumber itself, but the pain that precedes it. Damn auto accident. :mad:

[Sinister]

Damn, I'm so very tired. Can't sleep though. I had an itch in the center of my foot and it woke me up. Ever notice that sometimes when you itch and you scratch that it simply travels to another part of the body and continues on and on too stubborn not to be a part of you? See? What did I say? I'm tired dammit. But I can't fall back asleep. Instead, I'm posting drivel like this to amuse myself and when I finally do get to sleep, I can hear you guys when you read this: "Jesus, Sinister will post any fucking thing! The guy is cracking up!"

Hopefully when all the laughing is going on, I won't wake up with another itch on my foot. :D :googly: :rolleyes:

[SuFiKitten77]

Aww .. poor Sinister, you need a nap ;) Hey, atleast you aren't the only one who can't sleep at this unreasonable hour :p

[Non Compos Mentis]

I'm glad that I don't live in New Orleans. Its like Waterworld there.

[SuFiKitten77]

I'm glad that I don't live in New Orleans. Its like Waterworld there.

I'm with you, I heard that it will take up to two months to get all the electricity back on .. and in some parts, the water is still freakin rising .. those poor folks :(

[SuFiKitten77]

Wish I more amibition to get things done today :(

[Sinister]

Thinking about all the stuff I need to do today. All of the combined labors are piddling, but important. A minute here, a minute there---all of them involve running around and with gas prices being what they are, and the fact that you HAVE TO run the AC, it makes it all the more depressing. I'm not fully awake yet and simply want to crawl back into bed. So if this seems even more rambling than my usual posts, you'll know why. :googly:

[claymud]

I know this is old but...

How bands can turn from one type of music to another... I mean Red from Treabel Charger was a great song, their whole early album was good. Now hundred million or whatever is just them yelling I hate Bush in some lyrical way...

At least BNL made it a little funny when they did it...

[grapegrl]

What's for lunch???

[Mr Unpleasant]

There people in this, or should I say my world that are takers/users and there are others(Fewer) that are doers/givers. Lately the takers/users have been pushing there annoyances to the limit. Can I borrow this? Can you help me do this? Can build a retaining wall for me on Father's Day(Hottest day of the year)? These act without regard to what I am doing or need to do, it's always them 1st. I getting damn sick of it<pause> Oh great here comes the dog, "I wanna go out? Where my food?" Et tu, Brute? <back>
So I'm going to Lake George, NY this weekend, to try to calm the building rage. But sadly, some of the takers/users have attached themselves to this trip and there maybe some floaters by the time I leave.:mad: :googly:

[Da Weiner]

there, there, Mr. Unpleasant. By the way, are these takers/users relatives? :mad: I had that same bit going on with me and I got to tell ya, even when they just looked at me (without any sarcasm or mean looks), I just felt like telling them off.

You take care of yourself and enjoy your trip to Lake George. That is where me and the hubby honeymooned and it is beautiful up there. I will be looking on the news for any incidents that have happened while your up there. Don't worry - my lips will be sealed. :devil:

[Da Weiner]

What's for lunch???

Hmmmm - Don't know. I just finished my breakfast. I decided to have a Dunkin Donuts bagel with cream cheese and juice. It's suppose to rain here big time today and tomorrow. It will probably start when I go out for lunch - or better yet - when I go food shopping today after work. Yeah! :mad:

[claymud]

I'm wondering what ever happened to a friend who moved away in grade 2... and why I'm thinking about them...

[Mr Unpleasant]

You nailed DW...relatives by marriage. I wouldn't even consider asking them for anything ever, just to avoid the inevitable. what's worse is that they wouldn't return the favor if I did ask. My wife mostly agrees with me on this, but she's to nice to say anything.

[krypt]

thats every family and wife is trying to keep peace ...next time they ask ya to do somthing just say no ....and sorry for breaking thread

[grapegrl]

...sorry for breaking thread

It's cool, krypt...this is the thread for unstructured thoughts, after all!

Had half of a Firehouse sub sammich with hot sauce for lunch...yum! :p

[krypt]

im afraid my grass is never gonna get cut its just too hot out side...thinking maybe i should cut it in middle of night with flashlights straped to mower :)

[Da Weiner]

We haven't had any rain so the grass has not been growing and we are getting some dead spots. It looks like we're going to get a soaking this weekend so it should be a jungle out there next week. I think I'll use your idea there, Kryptonoff.

[Da Weiner]

[Had half of a Firehouse sub sammich with hot sauce for lunch...yum! :p[/QUOTE]

What's that? That sound really good.

[grapegrl]

Firehouse Subs is a sub shop chain...much better than Subway. I had their "Hook & Ladder", which is turkey and provolone with lettuce, tomato, and onions. They offer upwards of 30 different kinds of boutique hot sauces to add to your sandwich, but I like their house brand because it's a little hot and a little sweet.

[Da Weiner]

That sounds real good. I wish we had them where I live. I love all kinds of hot sauces. Sometimes I like to make up my own.

[krypt]

we have a firehouse sub here im thinking i need to try tonight do they have a website for a menu?

[grapegrl]

Ask and you shall receive...

Firehouse menu (http://www.firehousesubs.com/section.cfm?id=25)

i am sooooooooooooooooo ready to blow this pop stand and get home so i can work on some halloween stuffage

[Da Weiner]

I here that gypsichic!!!! Happy Friday!!! When I get paroled from work, I have to go the bank and food shopping. The weather man is predicting a nasty storm coming our way and of course it's probably going to hit while I'm food shopping, but what the hell - once I get home, the night is mine!!!! YES!!!!!

[gypsichic]

blech on grocery shoppin

we eat lots of cereal around our house............lol

[Hella]

got flowers delivered to me at work today, by my soon to be ex-husband...Um hello have you not been listening to me for the last few months, instead of the reaction that I think he was hoping for, me getting all lovey and wanting to "save" the relationship, it just pissed me off.

usually i love to get flowers..lol not so today. they are pretty though.

[gypsichic]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............yes..............i remember those kinda 'grabbin at straws' from the soon to be ex

[krypt]

umm im gonna get realy nosey here and say ...if its fist fights or cheating bail......but if its him being just plan stupid give him another chance all males have a stupid gene that kicks in every so often .......

[gypsichic]

isn't there some kinda treatment for that?

lol

[Hellrazor]

I know the feeling... when enough is enough and its just time to walk... and he keeps grasping at straws and its like, where was this when I actually gave a ship... and now I dont!!! Good luck with that Hella, do what you need to do and trust your feelings....
I have a wonderful hubby now (learned a lot from the first one... dont tell him that though) and he is wonderful, even though he does not share in the same Halloween passion as I.
I say, keep the flowers, dry them out and use them on the Tomb you will build with his name on it... good for closure...

[gypsichic]

lmao................great idea!!!

[claymud]

Why didn't I listen to my friends and fall for her... and Why the hell can't I get this story down, its been long enough!!!

[claymud]

To the Retards who keep ringing the doorbell and running :finger: :finger: You!!

[Da Weiner]

Why didn't I listen to my friends and fall for her... and Why the hell can't I get this story down, its been long enough!!!

What's going on Claymud? Do you think you missed your opportunity with a girl because you didn't act on it? Is it affecting your writing or are your just being impatient with yourself.

[Da Weiner]

To the Retards who keep ringing the doorbell and running :finger: :finger: You!!


Hehehehe. Sorry. I'll stop.:D

I get the same thing. It's mostly at night when the friggin punks that are going past my house with to mess with me.

Two sepret things Da Weiner :D

I fell for a girl this year and... long story short Neil Dimond was wrong... I fell for a girl and it wasn't that great of a idea, it did in fact affect my writting. But a little somthing in my head tells me I didn't miss out on much.

As for the story Its this idea I've had for quite awhile but havn't been able to get any ground on it... somthing tells me its gonna end up takin me as long as The Jack Did.
Hehehehe. Sorry. I'll stop.:D

[SpookyDude]

Hmmmm.... why am I bothering posting on this thread? Oh ya! To get my post count up so I can get a real sig :)

[Da Weiner]

Maybe you're too anxious to get the writing done. You just finished school (pressure's off) so kind of take it easy.

[Da Weiner]

Hmmmm.... why am I bothering posting on this thread? Oh ya! To get my post count up so I can get a real sig :)

That's right. You must earn your keep at the forum. (and it gives everybody here time to pester you) :D

[Hella]

so I decided that I am going to go back to school....I thought you all would get a kick out of it too... for Mortuary Science.

I have been fascinated with cemetaries, mortuaries and the people who actually get to work there since I was young and attended my first funeral. I came across a job posting not too long ago that caught my attention again with this and so I have been looking into it. so keeping things crossed that all goes as planned and I can start the pre-reqs this fall.

things with soon-to-be-ex are moving forward now, I think he finally got that I am not changing my mind about this decision and we have our dissolution date at the courthouse for late July. I feel so at peace with this decision so I know that I am going the right direction.

have to do laundry today...um boring, Oh I am also working on the ideas I have for the calendar photos, I am hoping to have those for Z soon.

hey Hella thats great to hear. Hope you enjoy going back to school, heres some penciles, take my books, watch out, that teatcher gives dirty looks :D

Hey Hella - Good for you. Do you have a place in mind to go to school? How long do you have to go. I understand your fascination with cemetaries and stuff. I used to be a cosmetologist (hairdresser) and would go to the funeral home and fix the hair and nails of dead people. Nothing scary - they were already in the coffins and you only had to fix the front and sides of the head. Most of them were customers of the place I worked.

I'm glad you feel at peace with yourself regarding the decision you made. I think that is the hardest thing to do. It's a shame that he has decided to come around but tooo late. His loss! I hope everything turns out for you for the best.

You go girl!!!!!!:D

[Hella]

thanks everyone, for all the thoughts shared..lol
yes I have been looking at a couple of different schools, finally settled on the one here in CO, it's got an excellent program for what I am wanting.

and yes eidolon you can call anytime for props..lol

[eidolon]

thanks Hella!! My haunt will be so much more realistic.....

[grapegrl]

Holy cow, these Lemonheads are sour!

[Hella]

LOL, ever tried Warheads?
those are pretty sour too..lol

[grapegrl]

Oh yeah...Warheads will bring tears to your eyes! I love sour candy, though...why do I torture myself?!

[Hella]

because we know how sweet it is after the initial sour bite..makes it all worth it.

[claymud]

Warheads are weak IMO

[Hella]

so then tell us Clay, what is a good sour candy?

[Hellrazor]

Sour patch kids and those blueberry sour straws rock too!

[claymud]

so then tell us Clay, what is a good sour candy?

Well there is sour cherry Blasters... But I basicly stick to your gummie Cholclet variety candies

[Hellrazor]

remember those old gums called "chews" they were soooo sour, my favorite, they looked like sweet tarts only they were gum..

And speaking of, lets add sweet tarts to this conversation... they always make my tongue and cheeks shed if I eat too many

[Sinister]

I love Sweet Tarts, especially the grape ones. I agree with the cheek shredding experience. I remember many-a Halloween eating those individual packs. I'm also partial to Spree. Good stuff. :jol:

[Hellrazor]

mmm I dont know what Spree is, You guys in the States have the best candy assortment. I miss living on a boarder city for that particular reason....

I like those green apple suckers that have caramel on them, theyre sweet on top and the green apple sucker is sour... mmm, but again< I get a layer of dead skin in my mouth after eating about 6 in a row. LOL

[Sinister]

Think Sweet Tarts a little thicker, with a high wax coat and a bit more colorful, then you have Spree.

I love anything green apple flavored and those suckers sound divine. :googly:

[gypsichic]

mmmmmmmm sprees make my jaw pucker..........lol

[claymud]

Is it just me or Does Jude Law look a little like Ian Megreger you know, Obi wan

[Sinister]

Now that you mention it. I think Law is taller and lankier though. I would think though that Jude Law and Cillian Murphy are even closer in resemblance to one another. The huge difference between those three is that Murphy is actually a pretty good actor. :D

[claymud]

DAH! I can't wait for the new BNL CD! My heads going to explode!!!

[Da Weiner]

Why do I have to have a sore throat and head cold. I hate summer colds. :mad:

yes yes spree and root beer nottle caps time to go t the store

[grapegrl]

I finished my big bag of Sour Patch Kids tonight. *waaaa* Morgan (my dog) loves the green ones.

Did the green ones make your dog horny?

[krypt]

dont forget shock tarts

[Hauntiholik]

Bumping this one up since FE wants something weekly like over here.

Hmmmmm pumpkin latte, vietnamese coffee or a glass of BLUE?
What to choose?

[Sinister]

I see you found this thread, Haunti! If I can add my two cents here, I am totally partial to Pumpkin Latte. Of course, it needs a lot of sugar, whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon sprinkling. ;)

[HibLaGrande]

I'm pretty sure that the speed of dark is somewhere around the speed of light cubed x infinity. that's freaking fast man! :D

[Hauntiholik]

Well then, pumpkin latte it is! Yummy, yummy.

[Sinister]

You just made a yummy sound. :D

[Hauntiholik]

Oh, do you like it? I'm not partial to desserts myself, but this is excellent.

[Hauntiholik]

You remind me of the babe
What babe?
The babe with the power

The power of voodoo

What is it with television running commercials for movies these days? If a new movie comes out, they make you tired of it before it ever hits the theater. Case in point: If I see that addy for Jackass Two for about the twelve thousandth time, I'm going to lose it. Last week it was that The Guardian and they're still going on about School For Scoundrels. All the movies I mentioned are full of no-talented individuals, so what's the hoopla? If somebody has a logical explanation, I would sure love to hear it, because I'm fresh out of any ideas why this could be going on like it is.

[HibLaGrande]

There are alot of brainwashed peckerheads that live for hype like that.
'I just watched the best movie ever cuz the T.V. said so, I'm must be cool" :D
I mean look at all the hype about "Broke Back Mountain" they spun that crap so much, to the point as to say you are a gay basher or homophobe if you don't love this movie. Bill Hicks said it best "Oh, It's a piece of *(cennsored)*, walk away!"
"we are rockstars against drug's cuz that's what the president want's"....."Man do they suck!"

We are going out tonight with a couple of friends and I'm really looking forward to having a few drinks and some fun!

[halloweengirl]

Damn In-Laws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn In-Laws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go ahead and vent, girl! :p

[Sinister]

Watching The Weather Channel right now and am totally in awe of how VERY HOT meterologist Heather Tesch is. :googly:

http://image.weather.com/web/aboutus/ocms/tesch.jpg

[halloweengirl]

About my in-laws....Crap I wouldnt even know where to start-LOL.Its mostly the Mother-in-law that drives me insane.Think of your wrost vision of a M-I-L and thats probaly her.My problems with that woman go WAY back.But thats a whole LONG story in itself.Despite all the problems I have with her.I try to be nice and civil,For Hubbys sake.Well anyway,Hubbies stepfather just got back from A year In Iraq.So they call us about a week ago to say that They want to come visit.So we sit around waiting for them to call us back and let us know when they will be coming.They never called back.Finally we get annoyed and call them.Now they dont know If they are coming.Once again,She uses her "illness" as an excuse.But she said "Dont make any plans.Incase we do come".What really pisses me off,Is that we BROKE plans as soon as we found out that they wanted to come.Sorry,just a vent.I hate putting my life on hold for some crazy woman who just wants drama.

[Sinister]

I say this about your in-laws: If they can't be considerate of you and your husbands feelings where it concerns opening your home to them on their invite and the fact that you have plans of your own, then fuck 'em! Yeah, they might shun you for awhile, but from what I understand from your post, it wouldn't be a huge loss. When you have kids, assuming you don't already, then they'll hopefully by then have cleaned up their act some and not be acting like a horses ass, because they will be coming around then.

[grapegrl]

Well, h'girl, you nailed it. Your MIL just wants attention and drama. She probably gets off on the fact that you've put your life on hold for a visit from them. All I can tell you is to stand your ground if you already have plans. People like that only have power if you let them. Your MIL sounds alot like my ex-MIL...total hypochondriac. I eventually got to the point where I told her that she either needed to get better or just hurry up and die because I was tired of hearing about her numerous mysterious "illnesses".

Man, I sure don't miss having in-laws!

[Johnny Thunder]

I hate bowling.

[Sinister]

Yet another thing we have in common...:D

[grapegrl]

I'm always afraid I'm going to slip and fall when I bowl. I prefer miniature golf.

[Sinister]

I just can't get over the fact it's where all the Billy Bob's of the world hang out when they aren't at the race track. Then there's the little nagging problem of those tacky shoes...

[slimy]

One of the Billy Bobs checking in. I don't like bowling, unless there is a full bar. Then bowling is fun. Or maybe just drinking is fun. Until you have to put your drink down to roll a ball at some pins. Or something.

[otherworldly]

I'm pretty much always afraid I'm going to slip and fall...

[Frighteners Entertainment]

Unloaded the ups truck.....where am I going to put all these boxes?

[Sinister]

I was wondering. We have been quite creative as of late with various threads in the Fun and Games Forum, what would you guys think about doing a thread where we sort of write an online novel, or at least some type of short story where everyone contributes? It would be serious contributions from everyone, no silliness like winds its way into some of the other threads. Anyone interested, either post here, or PM me. We can do this. :D

[Frighteners Entertainment]

I like that, though, this time of year I may not be up to par..

[Sinister]

Maybe it could be something for after Halloween. Right now people are probably too preoccupied with building props to give it real serious thought, but if there are any serious inquiries before that time, we'll see what we can work out.

[HibLaGrande]

Serious is not really in my DNA. I know, the doc just checked.

[Frighteners Entertainment]

Well, that explains a few things...

Please don't come to IronSock with dirty Draws! LOL

[grapegrl]

I'm in, Sin.

In other news, I'm totally buzzed! Wewt!!

[NickG]

I hope I can go to ironstock 07... I asked the wife and she said possibly. we'd have to find a babysitter for the little one who's supposed to pop out on april fools day... she said "lets see how we're doing in June, and how the baby is" I said "the baby will be fine, it'll be doing algebra and geometry already. besides, it's too close not to go - only 190 miles away."

[slimy]

I don't do serious either, but if you write a silly novel, I'm in yo.

[claymud]

I'm in, just not sure how my style would be suited for it.

[Sinister]

If we get this thing started, I'm sure you will do fine Clay. :)

[grapegrl]

I'm really pissed this morning. There is a woman who works a couple of offices down from me who is INCREDIBLY loud. She also has a voice like someone who smokes 5 packs of unfiltered Camels a day. Instead of carrying on conversations in her office, she yells back and forth to the other stupid motormouth broad in the next office. Every morning starts off like this. I'm not a morning person anyway, so you can imagine that this makes my blood pressure go through the roof right after I walk in the door. To make matters worse, she had a mouse in her office last week and she had maintenance come in and put glue traps down. Well, yesterday a poor mouse evidently got stuck to one and I've had to hear about it (via her loud proclamations) several times since it happened (she tells everyone who comes down the hall). Luckily for her, she doesn't know me well enough to have said anything directly to me, but I'm quickly reaching my boiling point. I love animals (even mice) and I really don't feel like I should be subjected to her deafening crowing over something that I feel is unbelievably cruel. I want to complain to Maintenance about their use of inhumane traps and I'm ready to give this stupid biatch a fat lip. I'm debating on whether to talk to her directly or go through her supervisor. I don't want to come off like one of those hyper-sensitive people who is offended by everything, because I'm pretty laid back except when it comes to animal cruelty. I guess I'm just frazzled because of the culmination of all the issues I have with this stupid lump of flesh.

[Sinister]

Talk to the supervisor. Going directly to this other woman might cause more problems than it's worth. She could start yelling back and forth to the other harridan about you, making snide comments and you don't want that. I had a similar situation about a year or so ago, where I would try to write during my breaks and kunch and this old bat would come in announcing quite loudly EVERYTHING in her life that was going on the second she walked into the break room. I feel your frustration. There was nothing I could do about my situation, but there is something you can do about yours. Go to the supervisor and tell them this crones yakkity-yak is upsetting the environment of a professional setting afforded by the workplace. I think you might find the problems will cease almost magically. If it doesn't, give it some time and go back to the supervisor. The problem will alleviate itself after this, you'll see.

[Johnny Thunder]

i'm glad i used a half day to hang out and read

[halloweengirl]

grapegrl...Im right there with you about animal cruelity.Im going to school right now to be a veterinarian technician.I was furious when I had an instructor to tell me that I need to "toughen up" to the sights of animal cruelity.

I have a cold. It's a bad one. I had to miss two days of work because of it. I HATE colds. I wash my hands ALOT but to no avail..If a cold wants you it will get you. My head really hurts. My wife has it too, so were both useless this weekend. THIS SUCKS!!

[Johnny Thunder]

I was wondering. We have been quite creative as of late with various threads in the Fun and Games Forum, what would you guys think about doing a thread where we sort of write an online novel, or at least some type of short story where everyone contributes? It would be serious contributions from everyone, no silliness like winds its way into some of the other threads. Anyone interested, either post here, or PM me. We can do this. :D

yo man - i'd give it a whirl :devil:

[halloweengirl]

Hope you feel better soon Dr M.

[Johnny Thunder]

the apple pie slice in my oven smells great

[Sinister]

Get to feeling better soon Doc. I know how it sucks being sick with this stuff. I have had it in some form or other since I got out here to Colorado. :(

[Da Weiner]

Get your rest and gallons and gallons of chicken noodle soup should make you two feel better.

[Hauntiholik]

Feel better Doc.

The Broncos WON!!!!

[HibLaGrande]

Sorry to hear that your under the weather Doc, I wish you both a speedy recovery.

[grapegrl]

My Gods...I'm so bored here at work...so sleepy...want to put head on desk...zzzzzzzzzz

[edwood saucer]

Just gave initial ideas to a client... this stage always makes me nervous.

Off to more work so we can build props tonight!

[Hellrazor]

[claymud]

I had my first run in with the police yesterday... Kinda funny really. Every morning I leave for the bus ten minets earlier so I can walk down the street and back. Its stupid but I have nothing else to do at home so its better to walk around then sit inside. So this day like normal I left home and walked down the street dropped my bag at the bus stop and kept going. I got to the end of the street and turned back around like I normal do, but today a police officer drove by (She looked a little peeved) So I kept walking, she turnes around down the street and passes me, then she stops right next to the bag and picks it up and is about to get back into the car when I called up to her,

'Excuse me ma'am thats my bag'
'Are you waiting for the bus?'
'Yeah'

So she put the bag down and drove off. I could see why a unattended bag would be something to look at twice but where I like there arn't many houses around to blow up. Still not all police run ins are bad ones :p

[claymud]

I was talking with some of my friends today on my free who were of the femail persaion. Them mentioned how eating ice cream was comfert food and made them feel good. Well I mentioned how I noticed the opposit. They told me that I couldn't understand because I was a guy. I said it was because I made myself depressed because I was eating the Ice Cream to feel better...

[Spooklights]

A really long day. But coming home to a good haunt makes everything look so much better! You've got to love this time of year.

[slimy]

Up at five, fed animals till 9, showered and made lunch and went to work at 11, got off work early to run tech for wife's dance troup ( biggest show of the year). Get home around midnite. Screw around on computer before going to bed and starting over at five tommorrow. Funny thing: this has been the EASIEST day of the week.

Does it sound like I'm complaining?

[HibLaGrande]

To bathe, or not to bathe?

[Hauntiholik]

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.

[Da Weiner]

I think you should bathe - it's bad enough we have the deal with FE and his goats! ;)

[Johnny Thunder]

I'm really sick of everyone with whom I work.

[skullboy]

How can I make a real zombie and have him eat the brains of those I dont like?And scare tots on Halloween.:xbones:

[KryptKittie69]

i wish i had a starbucks next to my desk at work.
pumpkin spice lattes all day long. :jol:


of course, the down side would be the weight gain. :D

[HibLaGrande]

Bronchitis SUCKS! I've felt like crap for 4 days now, each coughing fit brings tears to my eyes and feels like I am inhaling fire. My fever has broke so I need to crawl back into bed.:sick:

[Sinister]

Dude, I feel your pain. I have been sick for a long time with the same stuff. Here over the past week I have been living on various OTC pharmaceudicals. I am so drained right now. Thinking seriously about taking a nap right now myself.

[HibLaGrande]

I lucked out, I have left over antibiotics from my wife. 500mg amoxycilin is gonna kick this bugs ass.

sleep well
hope you feel better soon.

[Da Weiner]

Wow - I hope this isn't contagious. You two go back to bed. Get your rest.

[Hauntiholik]

ACK! I hope you both get better soon!

[Hauntiholik]

Work, work, work. Work, work, work. Work, work, work. Hello boys, have a good night's rest, I missed you.

[Sinister]

Work, work, work. Work, work, work. Work, work, work. Hello boys, have a good night's rest, I missed you.

"HOLY UNDERWEAR! Sheriff murdered! Innocent women and children blown to bits! We gotta protect our phony baloney jobs here gentlemen! Harrumph harrumph...I didn't get a harrumph outta that guy!

[Hauntiholik]

Give the Governor a harumph!
Harumph! Harumph!

[HibLaGrande]

'scuse me while I whip dis out.

[Da Weiner]

'scuse me while I whip dis out.

Be afraid - be very afraid

[Johnny Thunder]

i can't wait to eat my wife's chicken parm tonight - hey how come that sounds dirty after i typed it.

[Sinister]

So that there are no misconceptions to any newbies here, I am not a girl. From time to time, I have been known to change my avatar to those of the fairer sex, Katharine Isabelle is the most notable. In this instance, I have chosen Scarlett Pomers. Why, do you ask? Simple. I have written a book and a screenplay entitled, Where Darkness Dwells. Those of you have read either or, know of a character I have in the story named Penny Chambers. Penny, not to put to fine a point on it, is as SINISTER as they come. If and when it gets made into a movie, Scarlett I think would fill the role PERFECTLY! What do my readers think?

[gypsichic]

<GASP>

you're NOT a girl????? :D




kidddddding.........j/k

[Hauntiholik]

Dang, yer purty Sinister. Yer purtyer than a new set of snow tires. hehehe

I agree with the choice of Scarlett Pomers. She's sweet and innocent looking and an evil streak in one person.

[grapegrl]

I concur!

[Spooklights]

Summer skies have nothing on Autumn skies. The sky here was so deep blue today it was unbelievable. And the trees are finally starting to get serious about turning color. Needs to be just a little cooler, and it would be perfect.

[gypsichic]

cloudy and dark this morning.............and about 45 degrees out w/just enough of a north wind to chill me really good

[slimy]

It is cold here.


Sinister is HOT.

[gypsichic]

sin has changed his hair color too............lol

[Sinister]

sin has changed his hair color too............lol

Along with my sex and name apparently...:p

[Hauntiholik]

Hmmmmm the DayWalker is in a heap of trouble. No injection or inhaler will save him now.

[gypsichic]

Along with my sex and name apparently...:p

you should have a line at the door by now since doing that.........lmao

[Sinister]

I'm here to tell ya Gyps, if that unlikely event ever did occur, I would be a lesbian. I love the chicas a little too much to change preference this late in the ahem, ballgame. :D

[gypsichic]

Lol

[Da Weiner]

I just got my employee review from my boss and it was all good and I even got a bonus!!!!! Yeah!!!!! More Halloween stuff!!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!

[PrettyGhoul]

Very nice Da Weiner!! Congratulations! and um what kind of Halloween stuff? lol ;) :jol:

[Johnny Thunder]

it feels like it's never going to stop raining.

[Da Weiner]

Very nice Da Weiner!! Congratulations! and um what kind of Halloween stuff? lol ;) :jol:

I had some unexpected bills recently so I cut back a little on going to the Halloween stores so I think I will venture out and see what tickles my fancy.

[Hauntiholik]

Crunch time makes people act unfriendly.

[Sinister]

I'm thinking about a loaded down with meat steak sub with grilled mushrooms and onions with mozzarella cheese and mayo from a sub shop I used to frequent in Florida called Firehouse Subs. Grapegrl probably knows the place. Their bread there is hot, fresh and toasted. Great subs that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are ever in the area.

Come to Philadelphia, my friend - we'll show you the real deal :devil:

[Sinister]

I have always wanted the real Philly steak. I can't have green peppers though, but I'll take the rest. just thinking about the mayo and grease dripping down my fingers...damn! I'm starving!

[grapegrl]

I love Firehouse subs...complete with their signature hot sauce. There's a Firehouse right next to where I work. We try to get over there occasionally before the crowd starts piling in.

Just had leftover chicken pilau...yummy. Going out to eat seafood tonight. I'm ready for the weather to get cooler so we can get a bag of oysters.

/drool

[Hauntiholik]

Dang! You guys are making me hungry. A greasy sandwich sounds great right now. I LOVE oysters on the half shell. Yummy-yummy.

[Sinister]

Oysters are good with crackers and hot sauce. Used to eat 'em raw for 10 cents a-piece at this place called Nichol's seafood until Hurricane Ivan took it out. They rebuilt at another site, but it's not quite the same. :(

UGH! Just 10 cents? There's one hell of a down side to being in a land locked state - seafood isn't cheap or fresh here :(
Oysters + Cocktail sauce with fresh horseradish :D

[Johnny Thunder]

We have the cheesesteaks as well as access to fresh seafood since we are near NJ, MD and DE :devil:

so of course i had left over pasta for lunch

[grapegrl]

UGH! Oysters + Cocktail sauce with fresh horseradish :D

Don't forget a little squeeze of lemon...ahh, heaven on a Saltine cracker! :D

[grapegrl]

The jokes on the wrappers of Laffy Taffy are not very funny.

[Hauntiholik]

Don't forget a little squeeze of lemon...ahh, heaven on a Saltine cracker! :D

Oh yeah - gotta have the lemon.

The cheapest I've seen oysters around here is 50 cents a piece. That's not a bad price but when you eat a dozen or two....

[DeathTouch]

I always wondered in the movie Demolition Man when they talk about John Spartan having to use the 3 sea shells in the bathroom. What was their purpose?

[Da Weiner]

And I thought I was the only one that didn't know their purpose. Thanx DT!!!!! I don't feel alone anymore. I've watched the movie a couple of times trying to see if it was explained but could never find it.

I could get it it if instead of shells they used a fluffly bunny. Then I would get it, but three sea shells?

[skullboy]

Why am I the only A$$ that has heard of Sweetest Day?Has she brainwashed me?:rolleyes:

[Hauntiholik]

Why am I the only A$$ that has heard of Sweetest Day?Has she brainwashed me?:rolleyes:
Who is SHE? Is she SWMBO?

[Wildomar]

Okay, I am having trouble now with the three shells and what the heck SWMBO translates into... I feel so inept. :)

[Hauntiholik]

SWMBO = She Who Must Be Obeyed

[Wildomar]

Now I am glad that one was over my head! :)

If you dont put a name to your fears, they really dont exist, right?

[Hauntiholik]

If you dont put a name to your fears, they really dont exist, right?
LOL! I exist therefore I must be your greatest FEAR! MUAHAHAHA!

[Wildomar]

Nah, you listen to LOA so you cant be that scary... oh wait a minute... that could make you VERY scary! :D

[Hauntiholik]

I think I'm coming down with a bug.

[gypsichic]

wonder if you caught it from Sin..........

[Hauntiholik]

LOL no! Sin has been sick since he came to Colorado. I just started to feel yucky after lunch.

[gypsichic]

I thought maybe he was being generous and sharing...........lol

[Sinister]

That's right Gyps, blame it on the long haired guy...! :D

[gypsichic]

we long hairs get all the blame! LOL

[gypsichic]

and shouldn't you be riding a harley?...........i mean you have long hair after all ;)

[Sinister]

Send me one of yours and I will do it. ;)

[gypsichic]

lol..........i'll get right on that!

[Sinister]

Danke, my dear...I can see me now, entangled around a tree the first snowfall that I get caught in. :D
