Okay, here it is. If anyone else wants to know what this is about, I posted this in doobgirls thread:
NOW
I AM GOING TO START A NEW THREAD FOR FIGHTING...THIS HAS GOT TO STOP.
I'D RATHER YOU ALL SPAT AT EACH OTHER AND GOT IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEMS
BECAUSE WHAT IS HAPPENING IS FOR THE LAST WEEK YOU ARE CONSTANTLY
SWIPING AT EACH OTHER ON OTHER PEOPLE'S THREADS, I WOULD RATHER YOU DID
IT ON A THREAD OF YOUR OWN AND THEN MAYBE WE CAN GET BACK TO BEING A
SUPPORTIVE AND ENCOURAGING GROUP.
I AM GOING TO HAVE THE LAST WORD!
I AM NOT DIRECTING THIS AT A PARTICULAR SIDE...THIS IS FOR...PIP, GIMPY, KATIE, CATHY AND CASSANDRA.
ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO JOIN IN FEEL FREE.
I WILL CALL THE THREAD 'FIGHTING' AND WILL DO THE FIRST POST GIVING MY OPINIONS AND THEN YOU CAN ALL GO FOR IT.
NOW, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY WORKED IT OUT...I'M PISSED.
YOU ALL SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN THE REAL REASON WE ARE ALL HERE...
ENOUGH!
PLEASE!
Use this space to fight over AP, Roxy, who thinks what and whatever else you can come up with.
Here is my opinions on everything just to start it off:
Is this for the five minute argument or the full half hour?
Anything you like, Tinker...at least it is not in newbie's posts. That is my point. monty python? no?Well said Cordelia, someone with brains speaking sense about spoiling newbies threads, I second that. Janie. So Tinker...now it clicked. I was cooking my dinner and looking after my daughter and answering posts all at the same.hope you won't mind me bumping to push the latest interloper of the page.
Yeah, I know. Go right ahead. BUMPI admit to being a tad obsessed. What do you suggest we do when somebody asks a serious question? Ignore it? Wasn't that the point of the thread - not being ignored? Please notice nobody else had a suggestion/thought/idea about 'why?'
And again, how many of the tradtional post evolve into completely different ideas?
What I noticed is that people were welcoming and laughing and joking around until somebody came in with all the knowedge of a teenager and 'randomly ranted'. Which is that persons modus operandi.
It works both ways. I avoid most posts from some people because I have nothing to offer on the discussion or it has nothing to do with AI diseases. Others avoid mine. That's fair. But the nature of this board is you can be on one thread and a person you are avoiding joins in. Again, the mature response would be a kind yet demurring reply. NOT 'deal with it" or "end of discussion". I'm sorry, but I just have to laugh when I'm not involved in her diatribes. It's sooooo 'high school'.
Pip
I always think it's interesting to see how a thread changes...just the natural flow of a conversation, like when your sitting around shooting the breeze with your friends. But then, I think I'm a major offender that way, one thing someone says in a thread might catch my attention and I respond or ask about it, then the whole topic changes. Take this thread. I'm clearly supposed to be fighting, and I'm not.People Please remember a lot of people are new and Need Experienced Advise that this group has. At one point and time we were all new to this board and came here for help, guidance, or just to make friends that understand.
I loved the fighting smilies too...they seemed appropriate somehow.Here I come ding dong ready or not!
[QUOTE=joonie]I missed a fight? Where? I love a good biatch slapping. Darn sleeping, infection and not feeling well. *shrugs shoulders* Aww... well, I am off to eat a ding dong and hope it is not melted from being in the hot kitchen.
Here I come ding dong ready or not!
[/QUOTE]I have one...
The only way my son will be part of a football team, is if he is the male cheerleader... looking up the female cheerleaders skirts

BRING IT!!!!!! Linncn, Did you change meds today or forget to take something? You are wound up!!!!!!!!! LMAO Keep on Katie and Linda's gonna cuss
OMG there really was a guy wearing a skirt at the store yesterday. It was a nice lavender batik print. Now I've seen guys in skirts occasionally before, but this one was just peculiar. He didn't have the cool hippy look, or have that Bohemian look like he belonged in the skirt. The top part of his body looked like your average beer-drinking car mechanic with a short hair cut and a big beer belly. But then on the bottom there was this long lavender skirt! He was walking around with his wife or girlfriend, and what I assume was their baby. He seemed perfectly comfortable in his outfit, and so did his lady. There was no snickering or giggling like there would be if he had lost a bet or something. Twas quite interesting, I must say! Nope, no purse. Though it would have worked with the outfit. . .
Joonies brother!!!
I don't think its creepy at all. I realy like it. You have to keep it until after Halloween!!! OOOOO MMMM GGGG I just SAW that!!!
SCARES ME NOW FOR SURE(Shew..wee..I'm warn out just talk'n about kicking your butt).

I'll check back on the threads on Tue. oh wait this is Tue. Sh-t I guess I'll just check later. Good Night Jay your a good sportKaren didn't even see what I posted to her on Page 13...CAUSE OF JAY!! >.<
Do you guys believe in ghosts??? Why and how come? I'm not sure Don't believe, I know! Some of my best friends are ghosts! True believer here - been there seen that! WAAAAA WWWAAAAA I want a story,pleeease. I'm winding down and I need a story pleassseee k me too but Karen have us a scary story tom0orrow night I'm so sleepy so g'night everyone I wont be bad tomorrow if katie wont lie I'm an amatuer ghost hunter Moana. I have lots of the equipment and I love going on a good hunt! I will tell you that my next hunt is actually going to be in the small cottage that my daughter and her fiance are living in. The other night they were laying in bed and heard what sounded like a woman groaning in their kitchen. My daughter's fiance started laughing softly because he thought it was my daughter, since she sometimes makes noises as she is falling asleep. She told him "Stop laughing - that wasn't me, I heard it too." Then they heard the sounds of someone moving around in the kitchen, cabinets closing, etc. They got up and checked and there was nothing out of place. My son and his friend were visiting there one day, and my son's friend was alone in the house when everyone else, including the dog were outside. The dog's rubber ball came bouncing across the floor toward him, like it had just been tossed by someone. My son is sleeping over there tonight on her couch. I'm anxious to hear if anything happens! OH how interesting! You're a Ghost Buster so to speak. Right? A medium, what ? can you explain a little? You guys crack me up! I've been reading these posts and trying very hard not to spit coffee all over the place. So much for the fighting. That's good. I like this much better. Hillhoney, Amateur ghost hunting must be fun. I've always had a fascination with the supernatural. Janice I bout spit coffee on my puter!!!
Moana, no, I am not a medium, not at all. I was raised in a family that was very open to believing in psychic and spiritual experiences. My grandmother was very sensitive and had many experiences, she was truly gifted. She was born in the late 1800's - far before this kind of thing was chic or cool. I have had a few very personal experiences, that I feel very blessed to have had, because any chance to connect with "the other side" is a blessing. It brings you to place where you no longer just believe, you know that life continues on after physical death. When you KNOW that, you no longer fear death. I think that is why genealogy is so important to me. I am connecting with real people who have come before me, and understanding where I come from. I often feel I get a little help with my genealogy brick walls from "the other side". (Don't you feel like you should be hearing the theme from The Twilight Zone about now?) I know there are some folks who think this is total BS and that people who think the way I do are either nut cases or just really gullible. That's okay, I understand. There's a lot of fakes out there and we should always be skeptical. So yeah, I do like to play around with ghost hunting too. It fascinates me, and I want to understand more! The supernatural is not hard for me to believe at all. People who believe in God and the resurrection of Christ have to believe in the supernatural and ghosts. My grandmother and mother could tell some of the strangest true stories I've ever heard. My mom and dad lived in a little house when they were first married that was *occupied* by an entity. And my mom was one of the most sensible, down to earth persons you could ever meet. She just accepted. Her g/fs used to spend the night to see the goings on there and usually left scared to death
The history of the house(true story) was that a young couple lived there and one night an altercation happened and the man was shot and killed. He was flung into a closed bedroom door that swung open ed on impact. EVERY night at the same time that door flung open, no matter if it was locked or not. Mom would get up and close the door and all would be well until the next night. This was before I was born but lots of eye wittnesses tell the same story over and over. She said most of her friends freaked out and dad would just cuss.
He was a veteran of WWII, having served in France and Italy. He was seriously injured when he stepped on a land mine, but lived. He came home, and fell in love with a young woman from the small town they lived in. They were engaged to be married on Christmas Eve. On Dec. 10 he took the bus into the nearby city to do Christmas shopping in the evening after he got out of work. Later that night, he got a ride home with a 16 year old boy from his town, in the boy's father's pick up truck. My mother was out on the porch of my grandparents house, which sits on a hill, when down below at the railroad crossing she could see headlights of a vehicle rolling that had just been hit by a train at the crossing. As Junior and this young boy had gone across the railroad crossing (which did not have lights or gates), a train was backing up, without lights which you would see if the engine were facing you. They didn't know the train was there, and the engineer didn't see them. It was a horrible, awful scene, and it happened right in front of my mother. Well here I am more than 50 years later working on my genealogy with on line resources. I have searched so many times for Junior's death certificate, but just can't find it. But for some reason on this particular day I located it accidentally when I was working on something completely unrelated. The online archive had incorrectly cataloged it in the wrong county, and with his name spelled wrong. It still amazes me that I found it. I got really excited and said out loud "I found you, Junior!" I was really excited (it doesn't take much sometimes with a genealogist!). Now here's the cool part, it still gives me chills to think about it. My computer screen started flashing, over and over again, with his death certificate on the screen. The computer was locked up, I couldn't get out of the screen, I did "ALT CTL DELETE", I hit the back button, I hit Escape - but the computer was locked up. And it just kept flashing! And then I finally got my senses about me and said "Thank you Junior. I will tell mom you're okay and that you came to say hello." With that the screen stopped flashing and my computer "unlocked". I very quickly called my mom to tell her what had happened. Now how cool is that?
One night I was spending the night with my parents, dh was out of town and my girls were just little. Moms bebroom and my bedroom was on the same side of the house with a big tree in the middle. it was July 25th and very hot (no a/c) so all the windows were up. At 2am I was awakened by a bird singing in the tree, I can't describe the singing except to say it was a very sad, drawn out, distinct sound. It woke my mom and she came to my room and was very disturbed. We looked out in the darkness but couldn't see the bird. Mom said she had never heard a bird sing like that at night but she had heard it was a bad omen. I have never had a feeling like that either, it was so ...melancholy. My dad died unexpectedly that evening. At 62 and what we thought was perfect health. My first thought was of that bird, mom's too. I will never forget that sad song the bird sang that morning. I can still hear it in my mind. I never heard a bird sing like that again. Okay, I havent been on here in awhile. So where is everybody at?? I was around when people were fighting with Roxy so I left. I guess the oldies did too. Oh well. momofthree Who are you looking for Mom O 3? A lot of the "oldies" are still around, some aren't. Some just pop in now and then. So how are things with you? Hillhoney, great story! Gave me chills. I have one almost like it. Actually now thinking on it, I have 2 but they connect somehow. I'd been searching in 2004 for members of my father's family and possibly him. He left before I was born so I never had a chance to know him. Anyway, I actually for once found information on my paternal grandmother, grandfather and father. Unfortunately, they were all deceased. Anyway, I was so excited to have this new information and I was telling my friend John the story. I said that if I had been able to have children I would name my daughter Isabel after paternal grandmother because I love the name. This was in October. In December I found out I was pregnant and had a little girl,Isabel. In 2005, I continued my search for father's realtives but looking for living ones. I posted information about my father on reunion.com. The posting just sat there and I never got an answer. My year membership was going to be ending soon and because I never had any success, I wasn't planning on renewing it. In September 2006, my mother passed away suddenly. She died on Sept. 10. 4 days later, as I was on the computer trying to find a flight back to Massachusetts that didn't cost an arm and a leg, I got an email. The woman asked for more information about my father. I replied without much hope. The reply that came back was she thought I was her husband's sister. I was shocked. As it turned out, after talking to her husband, we are siblings. What in holy frijoles!!??!! You mean to tell me I went and took a nap (which resulted in me sleeping all night), and I missed a GOOD fight AGAIN
I wonder if the dude in the lavender skirt wore under-roos, I woul hate for the "monroe" incident happen to him while Hillhoney was around. Oh and I very much believe my brother would wear a skirt.
Ok... I have noticed that Katie is now a be yatch. Let me know when katie becomes an A yatch, then I will sell her for a good profit and be rich. Oh I forgot.... Football SUCKS!! Hockey SUCKS!! Baseball SUCKS!! and any other sport out there SUCKS!! I knew you were gonna be mad Joonie
As you can see Joonie EVERYBODY told lies about me and I just don't think I deserved that! Why weren't you here to help me?
Don't listen to Jasmine, she knows the Miami Dolphins can whoop the Packers with their practice team! Hey we were having fun. Wasn't even a full moon - must have been the effect of falling stars! Sure beats fussin and fighting and getting our t*ts in a twist! ANYONE can beat the Packers with their practice team
Im talking about Lovie and some of the other old ones cant think of their names at the moment. I know we used to have fun on this board but it seems everyone likes to fight alot and that get old. momof3 Lovie is around somewhere. She posted not too long ago. Ummm.... shannon.... do not let grammaskittles hear you bad mouth her packers! She just might hobble all the way to your house and beat you with her cane once she gets there, just for making fun of her packers, and then she will beat ya until you are black and blue for making her hobble all that way.
There is still some bickering now and then, but things have really gotten a lot better than they were for awhile. It's just one of those things. You should pop in and just participate in the what works for you and ignore the rest. That's what I do. That was the whole point of this thread - kind of a free for all and a chance to ramble. YEP!!I will pop in when I can.
momof3 Oh com'on it is about pepsi, packers, and bears Oh MY!! What watched too much Wizard of Oz when daughter was 4. So, sue me Where's my thank you?
[QUOTE=joonie] Oh com'on it is about pepsi, packers, and bears Oh MY!! What watched too much Wizard of Oz when daughter was 4. So, sue me
Pepsi should be named Poopsie. Yucky, yucky. Coke is the Real Thing! Yeah, it was all you Katie
Pepsi is the best (next to Sundrop) Isn't it sad how we have to humor her and let her feel important? Poor thing just got all messed up when she decided she was Alice in Wonderland. More like THE MAD HATTER
I LOVE YOU KATIE
P.S. I grossed myself out with that one.
I love tootsie rolls
HEEHEE my hubby stepped in doggie do barefooted Sunday morning. I thought he was gonna cuss
de'bo means to take from. You ever watch "Friday" and you know the big black guy who takes chris' rocks characters bike... his name is Debo. So, now when someone takes something or thinks of taking something from someone we call it debo. Like i am going to debo me some cookies from that 2 year old.LMAO Joonie, I actually know what you're talking about!!
Dr Pepper! That crap gives me heartburn
And football again! Why not dominoes? or even chess? Ok... I do not like chess takes too long. How about some kinda sport that is not violent and where someone does not get beamed in the head with a ball, teeth knocked out, or even hurt? Why a sport that causes pain? I say swimming is the way to go for sports!
Oh for got... to say.... Go Torpedoes!! (daughter's swim team) I like watching almost any sport if I'm there at the stadium, I don't like any sport on TV, except I watcha little hockey. I just can't stand the announcers voices...they all sound the same and I just hate it. Gives me a headache. And yes. Whatcha IS a word. I watcha my son play HS basketball. He was only starting center

That's so great! What a wonderful Christmas your family will have. I'm so dissappointed-I thought there would be a good fight going on this thread!

Don't feel bad Tinker, sometimes when Katie and Joonie get going we all get left in the dust! And I'm often left so dumbfounded by what they are saying, I can't think of a way to relate anyway! That's just cause I'm an old fart, though. [/QUOTE] Hey old fartie, leave my girls outta thisPerhaps we should somehow have a code or something for those over 40. Instead of OT it could be 04 or something similar. High school talk and 40, 50 year old people simply do not talk the same language. It is boring for both. I have noticed that some of the older people are not posting.
How about 'O.F.'?
I don't know, I try to run with the big dogs still. I don't always succeed, and there are certainly times when I don't participate because of the content. But I still enjoy pretending that they accept me and my old ways! I'll still throw my "stories" at them or talk about things they have never heard about, but hey, they are doing the same to us, right? I also think if older folks aren't seeing topics or threads that interest us, we ought to step up to the plate and get something going, don't you? This is a community forum and as a community we bring who we are and and where we are at the time to the group. I have times when I don't join in, many times because I don't have any personal experience with a topic. But I'm still glad to be a part of the community. [QUOTE=now & then]Perhaps we should somehow have a code or something for those over 40. Instead of OT it could be 04 or something similar.

[/QUOTE] I've kinda noticed that too N&T. Dont get me wrong I think there is a great bunch of young people on here. But like you, I just dont talk the same language. It's like talking to one of my kids who are in their twenties. Sorry.
Awwww... com'om now! Katie & I are just getting ya'll to where you can understand what your 20-something year olds are talking about.
Do not feel bad, gals... I know when my hubby talks to me most of the time I do not even know what he is talking about, because he has the ghetto/intelligent/pimp talk going on, and I am most of the time asking him what the heck he is talking about. It is because he works outside of the home and talks to more people than I do. He is probably more up to speed on how 20 year olds talk, than I am. Ok who put their fingers in the BUTTER Tub again? *Looks around the room w/one eyebrow raised* Hey I'm workin on a chat room, but the applets I keep finding are no good. Or they are, but people are too retarded to figure them out. LOL I LOVE YOU MONA!! *grin* Really, Joonie and I are the minority here so if you feel left out or something....I dunno......wow, and I feel like I should give you an award or something.....for impossible feats.....hahaha Wow, I made a flip remark and it turned into this. Good thing it's the fighting thread! Katie it's nothing you guys are doing on purpose, or would even realize how it evolves. And a lot of it is banter that would typically be in a chat room. But I don't see any problem with it, because the folks who are participating here might not feel comfortable with the speed of converstions in a chat room setting. The way things evolve is usually that folks are here, they are looking for an immediate response to what they are posting rather than waiting and checking back for a response hours later. So what, that is fine. Yes, sometimes it gets going fast and furious and on a topic I don't feel comfortable responding to, or know anything about. But if I want to I can go post a traditional thread about a topic I want to get feedback on at the same time your chat style thread is evolving. It's not like you are taking over the thread - but it can seem like it because others aren't participating either way - and therefore the only activity at all is yours. Not a big deal, really! If you guys are talking stuff I don't like, I'll just go start my own WWII thread, LOL [QUOTE=now & then]Perhaps we should somehow have a code or something for those over 40.

I have noticed that some of the older people are not posting. [/QUOTE] Well, I'm one of your "older People" here, and at 62 years young I have the greatest admiration for those young'uns that have managed to turn this "fighting thread" into a positive, fun "Comedy Playhouse". It reminds me of my own family & friends - and my kids (now in their thirties) and their banter!! I enjoy my kid's talk!! And we older generation do exactly the same thing, anyway. So these younger people are not really so different are they?? I find personally that being around the younger generation helps me to keep my wits about me, and I love the humour and fun interactions. That's always been a part of my family. I have enjoyed reading their fun stuff - they've given me a few giggles over the last couple of days. I just didn't have anything to contribute - doesn't mean to say I didn't enjoy it. Young upstarts, old farties, I'm not proud, I'll muck in with anyone
You ain't past it 'til it's over. It's like us popping onto another thread and going "god you all are old and annoying" We'd get chewed out and told how rude and disrespectful we are. But oh no, it's okay to whine about being left out when the youngin's start talking. And no one left anyone out. Speak up!!! You can type and hit enter the same as the rest of us. All this talk about making your own thread for the over 20s, why don't one of you DO it? I'm not being confrontational, just putting it out there. GOD YOU ALL ARE OLD AND ANNOYING
Hey Katie, I stuck up for you young whippersnappers
Look I'm friggin tired and I don't get a nap and they're TAUNTING me with "maybe you have the job, maybe you don't..." My stomach is UP-SET and I have no idea why. It's an "I ate something bad" upset, too. I wanna go home and cuddle my blankie..... Well I'm one of the oldies who is always around "the younguns" and they're so much fun!!!. My son and his friends think I'm the coolest mom and they tell me all their g/f b/f problems. They ask my advise on all kind of things and actually listen. We laugh and tell jokes, play games, watch movies and I even listen to some of their music. They all have an oldies cd now
I finally had to tell them them last summer that if my son wasn't home they couldn't hang with dh and me all the time
The point is I guess are our personality differences and severity of our conditions. My family is like Kiwi's, sense of humor and laughter are a trait we all grew up with. Being from a large family of nuts and jokesters we try to find humor in almost everything
We've suffered some of the usual tragedy's and illnesses that all families go through. We have each other for lift and support. I realize not all family's are like that. Katie you still suck at the chat room deal
I do know that sometimes I can sit here and be hurting and sore and when I get up I've laughed so hard the pain is almost gone
These young people are such a minority when it comes to arthritis and we need to be there for them. I find them very refreshing even if I can't keep up
Well as for me, I'm 52 going on 27 and I LIKE reading everything Katie and Joonie and all the "young at heart" posters have to say. I need a laugh for gosh sakes. And if Katie or Joonie is posting, I can pretty much guess I'm gonna laugh. Or giggle. I used to have a house full of young people, too. Five sons and their friends, and everyone was always at MY house. I loved almost every minute of it and I tried to cherish it. I really did. Those days are over and I would give almost anything to have them back. So when I see that certain people have posted I go straight there before I read anything else. You brighten my days. Thank you for that. I love you guys. Aww thanks!! I love seeing that you all post, and I LOVE that everyones older than me. I get good advice about things that I *know* you all have dealt with before. I really value that. There are still things in life that I don't want to ask my mom, and so I come here and ask all my surrogate mommies!!!!
I like making people laugh, might as well, if I cannot have a few laughs myself at my own expense. Ok... there was that one time when I called MODR8R a douch bag and laughed my butt off everytime it was brought up, but I cannot take total credit for that, Hubby helped me. I do not watch SouthPark. Anyways... let the "tiffs" begin! *throws a biscut at Monana NEARLT knocking her eye out on the ground* OH HELL YEAH, FOOD FIGHT!! Crap, all I have with me is this half frozen water bottle... Joonie - he could have told you to call him a Turd Sandwich. That was the other mascot on South Park, that was running against the Giant Douchebag.... I watch too much TV... Oh no you di-int. *snaps fingers* *Dumps the cheeto dust from her cheeto bag into Shan's hair* Oh it is on now! You do not waste juice! *runs to get the hose* There take that and THAT! AND THAT! *accidentally gets everyone as shannon ran away and hid behind everyone else* HA yes i did...and it was a Capri-Sun to top it off LMAO *tosses cut up hotdogs Joonies way* You suck more Katie And well, from what I'm told
Joonie I luuuvvvv yyooouuuu!!!!! Hey, they only come to you because tI send them to you since you got a big enough mouth, for the both of us.
Oh Shan's ALWAYS been a member. Recently she's just been too busy with SCHOOL WORK. Friggin goodie two shoes.... OK girls I go to out to dinner and come back to see you at it again and you've even corrupted goody two shoes Shannon.
Ok I do not even know if I spelled that right, it looks wrong to me. Pshaw. Shannon started it. She squirted her juice box on me. The little b*tch......
I'm at work and I'm bored and no one's told me if I have this job yet or not!! *kicks her feet*
So blame it all on Shannon now huh. Well at least your giving me a break! Joonie it is apalled , you spell like me hee hee, I have to bathe my dog now so behave and katie if you pitch one more fit like that your going in TIMEOUT! You'll think bored. Now apologize to Shannon, both of you little imps! Joonie if you could cook a little better your biscuits wouldn't be so dang hard
Man she's gonna KILL me!
Oh, that was not my biscuit, it was a biscuit that I found under the couch at shannons house.
Recon the pink flowerd bag was a clue?
Shan, I'm not appologizing for crap. You squeezed juice on me!!! IT HAS A GIRL IN A PINK DRESS ON IT WITH A PARISOL!!!! Gaaaayyyy!!!!!!! Is he more gay than CATS?! For me that would be a close call
Ok, shannon is slower than christmas. I mean baby jesus was born at the speed of light and here shannon is taking forever in the bathroom! Maybe she is hocking up a hairball too, but not from a cat. I told her to stop standing on that street corner!

Do not put that in your mouth!!! EWWWWWWW!!!Oh......................GAG. >.<Okay, so what the heck actually happened here today? Why aren't you guys talking?I went and laid down, because me back hurt and now my right elbow and hand are throbbing and swelled. Rain in the forecast?Yeah I didn't get the job cause of the hours. Whatevs. I was at work all day and now I'm home and I'm reeallyyy hungry and tired.
Oh I'm sorry Katie!
Wow, that would make anyone smile. What a nice thing to have someone in your corner! OH well Katydid it is probably for the best right now
Katie I am sure there will be others in the near future. You were saying that you didn't realy want it because of the timing but it still sucks. Get some food, drink a Pepsi (or a water) and get some rest. Your like the energizer bunny, going and going and going. OOdles of noodles A staple for all college kids who would rather drink beer than use parents allowance for foodHaha no I actually LOVE ramen! I buy it all the time, ask Justin. :)
How true Moana. I will have 3 in college this year. Empty nest party at Jay's house
Oh My Gosh I can't imagine 3 at a timeLike yours. Mine are 21, 20, and 18. Boys on both ends. I can hardly wait until next week. I swear there worse than children.Cordy is SUCH a little sh*t stirrer!!! Do you see that this thread has had FOUR THOUSAND hits?!?!
Katie, Speaking of sh*t stirrers I thought iyou were going to bed. Hmmm. LOL Jay I sure hope your rich! With that many in college at one time I'd say just shoot me now!!! Katie where is Cordy? Am I just not finding her? I'm getting caught up now and maybe I'm just missing her. Don't tell me she started this and then took off!!No, she just started the whole thread, and I was looking at it going "DAMN that's a lota views!" And it's all her fault!!
We should each send Cordy an inquiring PM OHHH I hadn't noticed but boy that is a lotLOL Her box is probably full. She's a popular girl. The only people who PM me are newbies thanking me for telling off Pip and her crew, and Jay. LOL
Then I guess I better stop. Ha Ha Ha OHHH Katie I'm a sheet freak! 450 count Egyptian cotton,OMG their heavenly. you could hang meat in my house Jay I keep it sooo cold
Hillhoney don't you have air conditioning?*shuddering* Bless your heart I don't blame you
I'm only cooling about 2000 sq. ft, up and down stairs so I guess I shouldn't complain about the power bill
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. My son has fixed up the upstairs of our barn into a "Man Cave" with a pool table, mini fridge, and an air conditioner too! I should post pictures of the place. It's amazing what they have done up there - in a barn! He has friends over almost every evening so there goes more money! But in addition to us being power hogs, Connecticut has the highest electric rates in the country. What an honor! Well that kind of explains it but still 0.00 is outrageous any where you are. Thats like when I watch that show on HGTV I think its called Buy This House and a couple have three houses to choose from. Depending on where they are in the U.S some of those plain,small houses on a postage stamp yard are over five hundred thousand Dollars! I am amazed that just a regular ranch house like mine on a little land could cost as much as 0.000.oo Thats crazy to me because down here a 3bedroom 2 bath,livingroom, kitchen, dining room, split entery foryer with den,bedroom and bathroom down stairs, plus a concreted laundry room huge storage r0oom, and nice work shop with a drive in garage, sitting on 2 acres of beautiful land would sell for 6.000.00. Thats just crazy to me. Well Katydid I'm sorry you can't sleep hun. I thought you went to bed earlier. How does the comforter and sheets feel? Wonderful I bet. You can hang with me and Hill and talk high power billsThe sheets DO feel great! LOL I called Justin to say goonight (I always do that) and he had to go, because the cops where there and they were in the middle of evicting a guy who decided to run around the hotel naked. He's a flight crew member too, so he's probably going to get fired. He was WASTED, and they're not supposed to drink at all. He has to fly in the AM. Even though he's not ON the plane, he's still really "on the clock" So he's busted. What a dumbass.
Yeah, I know, it is crazy. The salaries are higher here, but not enough to keep up with the cost of living. It is amazing how different prices are across the country. I always feel sorry for people who are transferred to Connecticut from someplace that has a lower cost of living. It's so hard to buy a house and get started for them. Such is life. I do love it here. Oops, I'm a bit behind. I had to go clean up where my dog puked on the LR carpet.
Katie I'm describing my house and its in great shape and the yard is beautiful(thanks to dh) and as a matter of fact we just updated and bought new furniture less that a year ago.Painted , borders,some flooring and a new area rug too.106thou, was our last tax appraisal Well how much would taxes be on a house like that Moana? Hillhoney what is the average imcome in your county if you know? Ours is 37,000 a year. Seems awfully low to me Hill as a matter of fact they are 5.00 a year and they just went up. A couple yrs ago they were 0.00 a yr Well I just checked on line and in 2000 it was about ,000. But we are in a more rural county of the state. Down in the southern counties which are really just extensions of NYC the income is much higher. My property taxes on my cars are almost what you pay for your house! My property tax is at about ,500 a year for my house. Good Golly I couldn't afford to live in Conn
Taxes are the killer. In addition to the property taxes, we also have income tax, and of course our sales tax. Minimum wage here is now at .65, which is a lot higher than a lot of states, but when everything costs more it all levels out I guess. We do have excellent support services and programs in this state, and those don't come cheap. My daughter visited some friends in Conn and few years ago and loved it. I don't know what part. I've never been that far north, but my girls love NY too. I would love to travel all up the New England coast states and stay in Maine for a while. It just seems to be a cool place to visit. I would really like to visit Amish country like Lancaster Penn. I read a lot of fiction about the Amish and from what I've seen on tv its is beautiful country.
Linncn - you wanna go??? Huh??? Talkin' bout my boyfriend. He's a brown belt in Hapkido, he'll kick your ass!!!!
I wasn't talkin' about your boyfriend, beyatch. But I'm impressed that he can take an old crippled woman. Can he do that with his skirt on???
Oh Oh Oh....You'd NEVER say it to my face, it'd be the LAST thing you sayLMAO
Look, as much as I get made fun of for being 23, I'm GONNA crack on you people. Don't think I won't do it!!!!
Cordy, you're in for it girl........
Get her Lin
wound up for an oldie.........you suck Haha are you still stuck on that?
Still? yeah, I guess it's been about 2.5 minutes.
LOL

What
The
Crap
Ever.
I got here first, Karen didn't do anything except say "ooga booga" and blow in Mona's face. It's not HER fault Mona's afraid of wind! Linda didn't call her fat, she called her "chubby" and Blessed didn't wipe a booger on her, she threw a tissue at her. Granted, it was a used tissue, but STILL!!
You see how she LIES!?!?!?
Karen you have way too much useless knowledge....
But I can plan a mean game of Trivial Pursuit!You can plan it, huh?
DON'T GET KAREN STARTED. We'll be here all night....haha I'm kidding!!
Which is probably why we get along so well!
I'm sorry, but you have been so naughty tonight that you must go to bed without your story!Okay that's it. I'm off to bed. I've been playing the same song over and over and that's always a sign that I'm tired.
This happened about a month ago just outside of Cocodrie, a little town in the bayou country of Louisiana, and while it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcok tale, it's real.
This out of state traveler was on the side of the road, hitchhiking on a real dark night in the middle of a thunderstorm. Time passed slowly and no cars went by
It was raining so hard he could hardly see his hand in front of his face. Suddenly he saw a car moving slowly, approaching and appearing ghostlike in the rain. It slowly and silently crept toward him and stopped.
Wanting a ride real bad the guy jumped in the car and closed the door; only then did he realize that there was nobody behind the wheel, and no sound of an engine to be heard over the rain. Again the car crept slowly forward and the guy was terrified, too scared to think of jumping out and running.
The guy saw that the car was approaching a sharp curve and, still too scared to jump out, he started to pray and begging for his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and in the bayou and he would surely drown! But just before the curve a shadowy figure appeared at the driver's window and a hand reached in and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around the bend. Then, just as silently, the hand disappeared through the window and the hitchhiker was alone again!
Paralyzed with fear, the guy watched the hand reappear every time they reached a curve. Finally the guy, scared to near death, had all he could take and jumped out of the car and ran to town.
Wet and in shock, he went into a bar and voice quavering, ordered two shots of whiskey, then told everybody about his supernatural experience.
A silence enveloped and everybody got goose bumps when they realized the guy was telling the truth (and not just some drunk).
About half an hour later two guys walked into the bar and one says to the other,
"Look Boudreaux, ders dat idiot that rode in our car when we wuz pushin it in the rain."
In my family you had no choice but to be a Cowboy's fan. That's what are family did. Every Sunday we would be at Grandma's (who was a die-hard fan) after church to eat roast beef and watch the game. It is also part of our Thanksgiving tradition.
Ya'll are just to girlie!!!

OMG my grandmother taught me how to belch! She always told me that if you hold it in, it will make you sick. Much better to let it out. That girl could belch better than anyone I've ever known. And she was all of 4'11 and about 90 pounds. What a woman!!!
[/QUOTE]
That is too funny...my grandmother was about 5'4 and 100 lbs, soaking wet!
Of course, I do bite my tongue sometimes and don't say things like "you just wait and see"
Well, let me explain it this way. Some of the themes kinda belong in a chat room. It just goes on and on with one-liners that really don't amount to a pee hole in the snow. Hope you have snow where you live! I guess it could be like some of the OT messages, if you don't like them, don't read them. Don't get me wrong now because we have a great bunch of people on here. Trivia has it's place I guess, so let's leave it at that.
I've kinda noticed that too N&T. Dont get me wrong I think there is a great bunch of young people on here. But like you, I just dont talk the same language. It's like talking to one of my kids who are in their twenties. Sorry.[/QUOTE
In fact, I can't sleep AT ALL right now. *sigh*
I was wondering why I saw your name back on here!! You went to bed a good while ago girl. Did you take your Melatonin?Nope I haven't needed it in a while. I don't know what the deal is with tonight. I feel really..........different. I think maybe the 10mg of Lexapro is actually too much. I was really balanced on the 5mg, but yesterday was my day to up it to 10, and so far I've just felt strange in general and antsy. I'm going to give it a week, and if I don't level off, I'm going to drop back to 5mg and call my PCP. I'm sure she'll say that's fine, but I just want to make sure.
The sold it 2 years ago for almost 9 million dollars. And its in the middle of no where. For now. The rest of the land around it was already purchased, and we're pretty sure they're going to build houses on it.
