I was outside repairing some old TV sets on my outside workbench in the back yard.The lawn is starting to grow.I should be getting my lawn mowers ready to go instead of fixing old tele's.

I mowed grass today. It's not so bad when
you have a nice cool breeze.

BTW, fixing old TV's?

I agree with the cool breeze.Years ago .I used to fix TV,Stereos,VCR's and other electronic gear as a trade .Now I just do it for a hobby.No money now in it.Thanks to the cheap prices on electonic's stuff.

Shady??? Don't leave us hanging!

Hahaha, nothing like underworld crime or anything like that! It's just a cute little french restaurant and some of it's previous employees say it can be a bit of a shady place to work. But I got the job and sorted out pay and my hours and everything so hope fully everything will be fine!
Fingers crossed!!

Fun-filled day ahead marking 30 year 7 exercise books and all my year 10 controlled assessments. Joyful joyful. Now if only I could tear myself away from the ledge and actually make a start. Procrastination is an art form :thumbsup:

I know how you feel. I have so much work to do but no motivation at all. No idea what has happened to me, I used to do work all the time now I can't be bothered. :(

p.s in unrelated news I need to stop buying books!!!

My psychotic boss informed me by text that I will be getting a raise (unprompted) at the beginning of the month. He also said he was glad to have me and I was "an emerging attorney with a lot of talent" and had showed "real improvement in court."

This in no way means he didn't make me cry again today.

How did you do in court that day you told us you were going to have to wing it, because you knew almost nothing about the case?

[bangdrum]

How did you do in court that day you told us you were going to have to wing it, because you knew almost nothing about the case?

To be honest, that sounds like so many days that I'm not sure which one you're referring to... but what usually happens is either:

1. Somehow it miraculously works out (more often than you'd think)
2. the trial/inquest/other torture is adjourned/postponed/settled-last-minute (or there's yesterday, where the only reason I wasn't thrown into a trial for which I knew nothing in Part X (the "speedy trial" part) was because they didn't have a judge sitting in Part X that day!), or
3. Mark (my boss) decides he wants to do it after all, instead of leaving it to me.

I've yet to actually do a trial (thank god), though I think I'm going to be stuck with an inquest when my boss goes on vacation next week...

My computer just got a Rootkit virus called ZeroAccess.It took me about 2 1/2 to 3 hours to clean it out.The medications were Combofix with help from MalwareBytes plus Super Antispyware to finish the treatment.

There was no collateral damage to the computer and it's files what I can see now.

[vivfox]

Super Antispyware

I use this. It's a great program. I'm glad you got rid of the virus.

At 4:30AM friday I woke up and puked. I had the runs at the same time. In between sleeping all day and puking I promised myself if I was still throwing up at 11:00PM I would go to the emergency room. I called everyone I knew to drive me but no one was around so I drove myself in. I got there at 11:30PM and they made me wait 5.5 hours to be seen. The witch behind the intake counter kept saying,"there are people sicker than you that need to be attended to."
I brought my phone and its charger in case I was gonna be there for an overnight stay. A man sitting next to me saw my charger and told me he has the same phone as me and his phone was almost out of power, could he borrow mine to charge it. The plug was in between our chairs and it was the emergency room so naturally I oblidged. At one point I fell asleep in my chair and when I awoke the jerk was gone and he stole my charger.

All they ended up doing for me was giving me some anti puking pills, crackers and gingerale. I could have stayed home and been better off.I have a 24-72 hour flu bug that's making its way around the country. My sister in law has prepared me dinner and my brother is on his way over with it right now. It'll be the first solid food I've had since Thursday night.

You know, Jan 2nd, my 2.5 year relationship ended(not my choice), and I was absolutely distraught. Seriously, during all of January and February, I felt like I was dying, I was so depressed over it's end.

Then in March, I finally joined a dating site, and met someone who's NORMAL, without a bunch of crazy, CHILDISH, neurotic character flaws. And OMFG, it's been wonderful!!! I mean even if it doesn't work out...just going out with someone who's normal. It's funny, I think I swept all of the ex's character flaws under the rug, and didn't realize how bad they were, until I started seeing someone who's normal.:lol:

It's funny, the relationship I thought I couldn't live without, was broken and irreparable, and I was too in love to see it. I'm now THANKFUL that it's over. It's so nice dating someone who's not a neurotic mess! I'm no longer walking on eggshells, toeing a line. I even fired off a nice email, saying "I hope you're well, and by the way, thanks for breaking up with me...because you really did me a favor(and I did throw in a little jab about how great it was to meet someone who's normal)".:lol:

Anyway, my point is, that there are good people out there, you just have to keep looking!

Thank you, my friend. The past chapter of my life will always be remembered fondly. Really. I have no hard feelings. Especially now that I recognize the finality of it all(after several breakups... I have ZERO interest in going into that trainwreck, again It's really weird, because my love is still 100%, but I now recognize the futility of the situation...).

Thanks again, Louie. You're a fantastic guy as well, and I've always appreciated your kind words.:) More than you know.

So I'm back, to the velvet underground...My fever broke as I just slept for 9 solid hours. I'm slowly eating food again and actually went for a 2nd glass of almond milk when I couldn't even stand more than a few sips yesterday.

In the same situation I would lend my charger to anyone who needed it again and again. I won't let one jerk ruin the whole delicious pie.

See I'm a terrible worrier. I worry what people think, I worry about the consequences...but I hate the thought of 'what ifs.' I need to take a leaf out of your book and try and adopt a no fear approach. It's hard though.

But "no, I'm not interested", really doesn't hurt that badly. I'd rather have that twinge of pain, going to sleep that night, KNOWING that I tried, than wondering for weeks, "what if I'd only said something?".

I agree. And I've even said to them, "'no' is an acceptable answer!":lol:

No pain, no gain.

The one thing this past relationship did for me, was show me what type of committed, monogamous relationship I want. And I'm now doing my best to follow my new rule - No one under 30!(hey, it's hard...I live in a college town, with an endless supply of 22yo's)

I live in a college town too, but that wouldn't matter anyway. I'm just a reckless cougar.

[HomerMcvie]

I live in a college town too, but that wouldn't matter anyway. I'm just a reckless cougar.

Well, that was me forever, too. It's too easy. It's actually hard to believe that 22yo's want to sleep with someone who's in his 40's, but hey, I not complaining!!! Last Friday, I was lucky enough to take a walk down memory lane!!!(with a former ex, not "the" ex)

But really, this past relationship changed everything for me. I've never felt that committed, and whole, as I did. I pretty much now only want commitment like that. It completed me, more so that I've ever been...and regardless of what 21-25yo's SAY, they're not ready for a relationship, or commitment. Thus, my new 30 and up rule, now. Although I still may make an occasional exception...;)

But I've started seeing a 30yo now, and the difference in maturity is startling(yes, different people have different maturity levels, regardless of age)! But it's so nice. We're going slow(4 weeks this week), and haven't done anything more than kiss, cuddle and hold hands. And I'm fine with that, until we figure out how we really feel. (of course I'm discounting the fact that I never realized the ex was batsh*t crazy, until I started seeing someone who's sane! I wouldn't go back now, if I was begged!)

I always wound up in the same trap. Also, always with wealthy guys that were pissed that I was unimpressed by money. LONG story short...I don't believe in coincidence ...I met my guy almost 10 years strong. Love, devotion, loyalty and trust...and the dirty part of the relationship is like its still in the honeymoon phase. I had been out to a club with a girl far from where we lived...as she came out to me and wanted to meet a girl but, was in the secret and afraid mode. We got home early and an ex friend had invited me to a party...so, being all slick from going out earlier I was like sure. I am in recovery from drugs and alcohol for a long time...and this friend knew it...the party was in a house directly across from my beloved Nana Mac's house where I grew up...and have the happiest memories that bring joy tears. Anyway, the party was a method and other drugs party. It was also an orgy. Sitting in the living room as naked drugged out guys were trying to tear my nice clothes off. I was trying to think of how to get home when in walked the man of my dreams...he looked at me and said, what is a hot classy guy like you doing here? So you know he said all the right things...and got me out ofaa there and loved me enough to get clean too. So, after 3he HIV tests we are grateful to be free from that sad disease that we both lost friends to. He was the first poor guy...Irish intercity Boston section called Dorchester/Southie. He got excited crossing the NH state border for tax free smokes. When you have been almost everywhere from my work...seeing San Fran and France, UK....etc...Taking a helicopter over the Grand Canyon ...I watched him in hidden tears...seeing all these places with someone you totally love...and they are a bit nervous and almost overwhelmed by scuba diving in the Carribiean et al...it is like seeing it all through his eyes of love...and its all new...and even better. Today were going strong. My secret to a strong relationship? Free from resentments and explosive fights where you say something you don't mean? We bicker our pissed offnesses inbetween laughter conversations and debates. Believe it or not I am a freelance author known for my Political commentary as a Liberal Democrat. He is a gay Republican. We even see past that! We do everything together...I love him more and more each day...

while cleaning up the bookcase, read what she wrote and decided to write to her and give my response on some of what she had written - I wasn't negative nor ugly, just honest and polite.

I do care about her still, but I feel somehow the feeling is not mutual.

I owe so much to Patti, so yep I am a HUGE fan! :D I know, I was so shocked when I met a girl at college two years ago who likes her. As it stands at the moment, I am yes. But I don't care omg I'm so EXCITED.

A few years ago, she was in Hyde park and I was going to go to that but I was too scared to travel on my own so I didn't go. I'm so so so glad she's coming back.

MY gosh me too. She's incredible, I remember a few years ago I read an article/interview in Vogue about her new book and I fell in love with her words. She is one hell of a beautiful human being. Have you watched her documentary dream of life? It's incredible, I have never been so captivated by a documentary in my whole entire life.

No way!!! Me too, I never thought she would. I didn't even know untill I happened to read a thread on digital spy saying Patti Smith is touring, everyone go she's incredible live. HA none of my friends have ever heard of her. Quite sad really!!!

I am too excited!!!!!!!

[ButterCookie]

I think I have that cutting in my room! I've seen Dream Of Life and I have the book, too. It's HUGE. I've got Just Kids, Land 250 and Auguries of Innocence (which is my favourite collection of her poety). I did a project on The Geometry Blinked Ruin Unimaginable for my English A Level and tried to do my coursework on her poetry and it's canonical value. But my tutor couldn't be bothered reading her poem and said no to that :mad:

Oh god I love her.

How ignorant of your tutor. Her poetry and words are just.. wow. I can't even describe them right now. I am so so excited to see her, I don't even care about going on my own. She makes amazing music. Just kids was beautiful too, her relationship with Robert was so pure and honest it was almost childlike (which is ironic because of how much they did together from an early age). I just find her so fascinating. The dream of life documentary was filmed over 10 years too. I swear I am too excited. I'm not going to be able to sleep untill June, LOL. None of my friends understand though, they all still only like boybands and nothing else.

As of this afternoon, my boss is on vacation through the end of next week. He told me that for the 6 (work) days, I should "be him."

I told the attorneys room that he was gone as soon as he started down the stairs. This one older female attorney who hates him (they all hate him, but she stands out) immediately offered her hope that his plane would crash.

One of my favorite sites, formspring, has a virus in it so I have logged out indefinately.

Also another favorite, photobucket, has completely changed their ways of editing photos, so I'm leaving them too.

Honestly, I find it so annoying that websites are constantly changing their ways of doing things. Why can't anything ever stay the same?

[bangdrum]

This means at least once a day you need to make someone cry.:sorry:

Yeah, I know. We've already discussed it and the other associate I work with (the one who was already fired once) has agreed to "be me." :thumbsup:

[bangdrum]

Incidentally, my main methods of coping for getting through the (insanely and impossibly long) days are trying to time my boss' mood swings (from psycho-mad to psycho-happy to "friendly") and nursing my secret crush on one of his ex-partners who's still in the business and at the courthouse every day. (He has a ton of ex-partners who are at the courthouse every day, but this guy is the only one he's willing to acknowledge.)

I suppose things have to constantly change to draw in new people and increase their "user friendly" nature. These programming types do tend to forget, however, that we don't all have PHDs in computers. That being said, some days I'm amazed that I even manage to turn my computer on. I'm just not technology savvy.

I went to Wolverhampton today to attempt to do some documentary work (I didn't) and ended up finding the best vinyl shop ever. Huge Madonna sections and some Cyndi Lauper too. And I also found an Antique book shop that had a whole Marlene Dietrich section of books. I ended up getting one for £4 with loads of pictures I have never seen before. I used to think Wolverhampton was a bit rubbish compared to Birmingham but if you go down the little side streets they have all these little quirky shops. I must stop buying books though.

P.S I always manage to pull the weirdos, I must of laddered my tights on the bus a little and this guy with gold teeth told me and asked me if it was a stair way to heaven (LOL) and told me to stay safe "sexy bugger" who says that really? (apart from him obviously)

Am going to a Zumba class tomorrow night for the first time. Anyone done it before?

Did you like it? I've taken Zumba classes and while I think they're OK, I'm not a huge fan. :shrug: I don't get the hype.

So, concerning one of the other FM forums, The Chain....


It seems to have disappeared. Does anyone know what happened to it?:confused:

[Macfanforever]

I was at my local Walmart last night.I did not know they are now have Ticketmaster in the store.I must be blind.The clerk said .They were selling TM tickets since Christmas.I doubt it If they can better seats since their terminal screen is probably the same that we see online.I'm not sure of that.

JTIS I played a journalist in a film today ooooh

[estranged4life]

who knows my ex-girlfriend inform me that my ex-girlfriend Vanessa thought that I had posted photos and info about her online at craigslist's personal ad's - so I am very annoyed and pissed that she (and her family) would assume that I am that low of a soul to do that...Utter crappola!

So at my part-time retail job, a full-time position has become open. I interviewed for it today and she said she'd let me know in a few days. Accepting this job, assuming the pay at least matches my main job, would mean leaving my main job, where I've been at for almost nine years. Things at my main job are getting bad. Over the past two weeks a major responsibility was taken away from me, along with my hours being cut, again.

I'm really nervous/tense about this whole thing wondering if I'm making the right decision. Of course nothing is definite and I'll be okay if I don't get it. Sometimes I wish I was kid again without a care in the world...:shrug:

[SteveMacD]

I met my birth parents this weekend. They've been married since 1977 and have three more adult children. I've been developing a relationship with everyone for the past ten weeks, but this was the first meeting.

My aunt/godmother arranged the adoption. My adopted mom was her best friend and my birth mother was her little sister (13 years between them). Up until the age of six, I had two aunts and four cousins that were like family to me. It was wonderful learning that they really were.

This has been one of the deepest, most moving, and happiest experiences of my life.

I also got a haircut today

This has been one of the deepest, most moving, and happiest experiences of my life.

Steve, I met my birth family, 20 years ago. Being adopted, I always had a very hard time....wondering "who" was out there. My adoption was an "inside job" also, with both of my Mom's being friends(my Mom was barren, and the birth Mom unwed, and pregnant with her 3rd child[me], so an arrangement was made). But I was never told that they knew who the birth family was, until I was 20. And then, only when I told my Mom that I had secretly tried to get the records opened...

So I've got 2 brothers and a sister, and the birth Mom, and I'm reasonably close to them. I see the Mom at least once a year(they live 1000 miles away), and I ~was~ close to my older brother, although we've drifted apart...

So although I HATED being an only child, the entire birth family has told me(I mostly mean aunts, uncles, cousins....) that getting adopted, was the best thing that ever happened to me(it's funny, the Mom is great, but my 3 siblings ALL have issues).

But just finally KNOWING, was extremely freeing for me.

[SteveMacD]

So happy that you had a good experience! I'm sure that this is a huge change in your life and that it was probably a little scary getting in contact and not knowing how it would turn out.
Having known the extended family as a child helped. I mean, they were very, very special to me. I loved them like they were family. Mom's falling out with my godmother/aunt was more hurtful to me than the divorce! Also, my mom informed me that my natural parents had been following what I had been doing throughout my life, so I knew they were interested. The scary part was just knowing what to say. As it happened, I found out about two weeks before my natural father's birthday, so that gave me a natural conversation starter.

But just finally KNOWING, was extremely freeing for me.
Exactly.

The funny thing for me is that my mom told me at lunch, and I had had about six or seven cups of coffee (I'm not a coffee drinker). After lunch, I had to fill out pre-employment paperwork.

So is Facebook screwed up for anyone else?

I just restarted my computer, and Firefox did some updates...

Now, my Facebook bookmark brings up a white page, with ONLY "Welcome to NGINX" on it. I even search Facebook.com, and it brings up the same page.

Is it just me???:confused:

I am having an unexplainable day today - First I felt the urge to drive to Chickasha to apply at a job I once worked at years ago and they accepted my application and told me to return tomorrow @10 a.m. for orientation

I recently posted on here how my ex-girlfriend Vanessa assumed that I posted photos/info on craigslist to harrass her - but she responded to my on facebook saying she knew it was not me and that she is not mad at me - she knows how much she meant to me. So maybe somehow, in the future, we can be together once again...Debbie would approve of 'Nessa over anyone else.

Homer I gave up on FB because it was spiting out viruses.I got my emaill hacked from the virus from FB.I got FireFox And IE8 .It sounds like you picked up one of those site redirect
virus.tyr to run you antispyware software or your normal AV software package to clean it out.

Estranged. Good luck at the interview tomorrow. I be searching for some PT work myself.

[Macfanforever]

I don't know if you guys had this happen. Today I received 3 Rollingstone magazines in the mail.April 12 .Two copies.one copy of April 26.I know TM-LN has the promotion going.But I don't remembering ckicking the yes sign me up section.I don't want the magazine which I did get last year when I ordered tickets for Stevie first round of her IYD tour.I canceled the mag after 3 months because I never took the time to sit down to read them.I used to like the magazine .but now I no interest in the music they are reporting on.I got to go to their website to pull the plug on this surprised subscription before they bill me.

Meantime in the April 12 issue they got a 8 page interview with our friend Jimmy Iovine which I going to read later.They have a photo of Stevie and Jimmy which a cropped version of the one shown in the attachment section.

So that is a relief to me. I start on Monday morning at 6am and work until 2:30pm Monday through Friday.

It is weird that in this economy that people apply for jobs but don't show up for orientation - a couple people did that this morning, guess they did not really want to work - I do! I have a possible motivation for the job and that is to be near the woman I love and care about, and maybe work out the minor issues that derailed our relationship in November.

[goldustsongbird]

*kisses you a thousand times* I didn't know she was touring so I just bought a ticket! For Manchester, where are you going?

Thanks. FWIW, I NEVER wanted to FB. Ever. And about 3 years ago, Michelle2677 twisted and twisted my arm, until I finally did it.

And I love it, and I'm obsessed with it!:lol:

And this might sound dumb, but it completely opened up new social circles for me, that probably never would have happened. Seriously....like one friend, of an acquaintance of mine, FB invited me to a party, and I decided to go(I only actually knew 2 people there, out of about 30). Well, I hit it off with the host, and most of their friends, and I'm in a completely new circle of friends, that never would have happened without FB. Party invitations at least every other week, now. THANKS, FB!!!:woohoo:

My mom got served with a rent demand tonight. :shocked::confused::eek:

(Background for non-lawyers: Before you can take someone to housing court for not paying rent, you have to serve them with a demand for the rent. If they still don't pay it, then you can start a court case.)

Of course she's sure she sent the money (apparently she regularly pays whenever during the month and it's never been a problem), but it's just bizarre that this happens just as I'm getting a little more of the hang of the job I have (landlord lawyer)...

Also, have I mentioned how much I love my boss being on vacation this week? And how depressing it's going to be when he comes back??? :rolleyes:

(Today's attorney room discussion involved just how much they all hate my boss and how they want his plane home to be "Miracle on the Hudson 2," except that he'll be in the bathroom at the time and won't be saved. The other attorneys also decided that the word that describes how they feel about him is "reviled." :thumbsup:)

Having a good talk with my ex-girlfriend - even if we don't ever get back together we will be friends and nothing will change that. I do know she missed me, which is better than not being missed at all :lol:

Well I didn't get the job. :distress: Apparently they gave it to some woman who quit a month ago and was personally called by the manager to return! Kinda upset about this since I hate my main job and really want to quit like now. Anyway, perhaps this position won't work out for the woman and she'll quit, again, and I'll reapply. I did get my application in on the last day, so I guess it's partly my fault.

[markolas]

My entire department at work is an EEOC lawsuit waiting to happen. Why do people think it's okay to carry on loud, at-length discussions in the workplace about their sex lives? It's not like they've never seen a sexual harassment video. Are they still of the mind that it's okay as long as they aren't propositioning their co-workers or grabbing people's asses?

Well, the CD came a few years later, right? I have the original album and Chris was never listed, yet I knew it was her all along. I had worried when reading CAH's book that she was gonna say it was her harmonizing on that song.

I had my first job interview yesterday. I'm a little nervous to see how it went haha.

[estranged4life]

is showing up for work on the first day and being sent home because the plant director has to approve a "rehire" (Which is my case). What sucks is that he did not approve it because of some issues that arose this past October (When my ex-girlfriend Vanessa was having some personal "issues") that left me financially FUBAR'd.

I fixed the problem and showed this morning and get showed the door the same day...So frikkin' wrong :shrug:

Today I fired up the lawnmower after fiddling with the carburetor in which needs a needle value replacement.Anyway I got the lawn done.Then I took my daily walk which I started doing yesterday.Which I'm glad it started doing.I'm gaining pounds by siiting on my fat a$$ on this computer all day is not healthy for me.In the meantime sorry to hear the news
Estranged and good luck Dove.I know the BS on job searching you both going through.

Holy f*ck, it's cold tonight. Spring? Where are you? All is forgiven I promise.

I'm have a weird week. My step-father died on Monday night after a long battle with numerous health issues. I feel bad that I don't really feel too bad about that. In fact, it's really a nice resolution to that part of my life, since except for one step-sister and her son, I really don't have any attachments to my step-family.

As mentioned, I'm in the reunion process with my biological family. My siblings are currently planning a trip for Memorial Day weekend for our first face-to-face meeting, and I've been really excited about it. Well, I got a phone call tonight from my brother. He and his wife just found out today that she is six months pregnant!

I hope it turns out well for you. I think I was a little disappointed in meeting mine. It's funny....I think I expected them to be perfect, or better than me. I think I'd always thought that I'd have grown up....as a better, happier, more successful person, HAD I grown up with them. But I now know that getting adopted was the best thing for me(given that my siblings all had far greater problems than I).

But just knowing them, and meeting them, and finding out who they are, is very freeing, and cathartic. I'm very happy that you're going to meet them.:nod:

Nothing wrong with that, lol. A large chunk of my Mum's friends used to work as Drag Artists at the real Birdcage when it was open in Blackpool. One of her best friends is a 6 foot bearded man named Tallulah XD

[estranged4life]

is a psycho!

We broke up the weekend before Thanksgiving due to the fact she could not take care of herself (i.e. - Two separate trips to different ER's with the same result of a positive U.A. test for "Barbituates in her system not consistent with the prescription meds that she is on") and then someone who knew her wanted to me contact her since somehow she accused me of posting photos/etc. on a craigslist personal page - SO I cleared the air of that...and we started to talk again...

Of course someone then starts to send me anonymous text messages to my phone because I am talking to her again, So instead of getting pissed/upset of the harassment (Which would have happened in my dumber/younger years) I went the common sense route and turned it into the D.A.'s office!

My ex-girlfriend then flips out because I cannot tell her who it was that sent the text's - because of the legal issues - and started to trip out on me, cussing me out, etc. - even playing the pity-party trip on me...

I don't need the stress or that kind of trip - all I wanted was to see it things could be patched up between us if she could get her issues in check...

So much for me being wrong about her :shrug:

Edit: She has tried to sugarcoat things now, I am a forgiving man, but also a skeptical soul...

just waiting to see what the doctor's verdict is in regards to my left leg issue - Either I had an allergic reaction to the sunlight on Saturday - Was bitten on my leg by a spider that infected my foot or I have a bloodclot growing in the ankle area...

All the above just for sitting at the lake's edge with my barefeet in the water relaxing the weekend away. :D

[Silver Springs]

I hate it when people use Facebook as an excuse to be ignorant and un-intelligent. Apparently, learning is a haven for those without lives and because Facebook exists there's very little need to use the English language properly. I really do pity this generation of youths. The majority of good are being let down by a minority of individuals I can only term 'F*ckwits' who have a false belief in their entitlement because they were born in an era where technology prevails. There will NEVER be an excuse to be closed minded and ignorant, so any excuse they could provide is invalid. To learn is to grow. To cease learning from your environment and absorbing knowledge when it presents itself is to cease living. Ironic that they would have you believe it's the other way around.

waiting to see a doctor (At 1pm) in regards to my left foot issue - Wokeup sweaty/nauseated so I made a trip to IHS Anadarko - saw the triage/intake nurse and she believes that whatever the cause of this issue (She believes something has bitten me) is that I am having a very bad reaction to it because of the way my foot is looking and how the redness is spreading up my leg from the area around my ankle...

Such a fun week leading up to my birthday, HA! :mad:

Well, someone (Who has ties to my ex-girlfriend Vanessa) apparently felt facebook was a place to learn when I was online communicating with her, because they started to send anonymous text messages to my phone (I had placed my cell # on facebook under my contact info, but have since removed it) but they realized now (I very sure) that I don't like the 'anonymous' aspect (At least show some GUTS if one wants to annoy me) and notified the local authorities about the text's, and I received word this morning the an arrest was made, lol! Sucks to be that asshole!

Well, someone (Who has ties to my ex-girlfriend Vanessa) apparently felt facebook was a place to learn when I was online communicating with her, because they started to send anonymous text messages to my phone (I had placed my cell # on facebook under my contact info, but have since removed it) but they realized now (I very sure) that I don't like the 'anonymous' aspect (At least show some GUTS if one wants to annoy me) and notified the local authorities about the text's, and I received word this morning the an arrest was made, lol! Sucks to be that asshole!

Someone was arrested for sending anonymous texts???

Have this ever happen to any of you.You are in your car at a stoplight listening to your favorite tunes or the news or a game on the radio.The next thing you hear is Boom.Boom.Boom. from the car in back or side of you.You trying to hear whats coming out of your radio at the same time.Especially a quiet part of your favorite Stevie/Lindsey tune or trying to hear the score of a game or even the news. Ever trying to talk to the passengers in your car.Its very annoying with those idiots playing their tunes that loud for the whole bloody world can hear it.

Also the same thing as your trying to get a nice sleep.You get awaking about 3am when a idiot pass you house,flat,apt with their high power car amp blasting the whole town with Boob,Boom.Boom.After that the nights sleep is shot.

I don't mind loud good music.but not in that order.

I used to live in a neigborhood in a apt where was alot of noise.Now where I'm at now is quieter.I still get these clowns with the loud sounds systems driving by at 2am.

I don't mind if they are playing anything good but 98 percent is crap.

I would like to hear FM's The Chain booming away.

Also some of those systems sound horrible due to a bad installation where car parts are vibrating in time with the tunes.

Hearing tests and hearing aid sales will be happening more in years to come for these idiots.

Someone was arrested for sending anonymous texts???

not that hard to trace an anonymous text when there are 'indentifier's' that are still available for tracking purposes (If sent from a website, as most are, an IP number is still traceable)

I received a fraudulent email yesterday from a yahoo account under my ex-girlfriend's married name, I informed her because I felt she had a right to know and she got mad at me again - So much for letting her know that someone is pretending to be her online...She said I "caused" her 'stress' - but she seems to have a selective memory in regards to stress she caused me, so I 'reminded' her of the issues she caused me here in town, remains to be seen if it sinks into her head and makes her realize that it's better to die being honest than live while lying:

"You tell them stories
They'd rather believe
Use and confuse them
They're numb and naive

The truth is the truth hurts
Don't you agree?

It's harder to live
With the truth about you
Than to live with
The lies about me"

You're lucky. I finish my Bachelors Degree in a couple of weeks and I'm right back there in September for my Masters. I really want to go to a new and - dare I say it - better University. I hate it but I can only afford the local Uni. Oh well. Two years being unhappy with my course is a decent price to pay for a more appealing qualification.

Pictured here with my boss is Little Orphan Alfie. He was brought to us in a disgusting condition after a group of children tried to drown him in a bucket of water after chopping off his whiskers. Failing that, they dumped him in a wheelie bin and left him for dead. Luckily somebody found him and he was brought to us. We were able to get him the help he needed and bring him to our sanctuary in waiting for a loving family. Sadly this isn't the first, and it certainly won't be the last case of severe cruelty we receive. A while ago one of our loyal volunteers was brought a box of 10 kittens by two young men. They told her how they had seen a man behead an adult female they could only assume was their Mother. He was keeping the kittens in the back of his car. While one of the two men was busy beating the Son of a B*tch into a bloody pulp the other, who was so severely allergic to Cats that he could hardly breathe, broke his way into the car and stole the kittens and brought them to the helper's safe hands.

I find it increasingly difficult to like people when I'm hearing day in and day out the atrocities they're committing against those they deem weaker than them.

Oh my god.
That is horrific.
At the moment my cat Daisy is sleeping on my feet s happy as larry. To just think of anyone hurting a defenseless animal in any way makes me sick to my stomach.
It seems strange to think that, as humans, some of us are destined to live a life of semi-luxury with food and a roof over our heads and yet some people live with nothing and worry about where there next meal is coming from rather than the money to buy a meal in an expensive restaurant.
And in the same vein some animals are born into a life where they will be loved and fed in a warm home with people who truly care about them. And some animals are destined to live life wherein they suffer cruelty beyond which I can imagine.
I think we should all be incredibly grateful to people, like Bee and her colleagues, who do an incredible job every day in rehabilitating and re-homing abandoned animals.
I, for one, am.
Like bullying, poverty and countless other atrocities there seems to be little we can do to help beings in these situations but if we all do tiny bit it can help a lot.

Just spent 6 hours at work and have just got into Uni to begin my day lol. Tired but I got Little Orphan Alfie a home with my brother so that's a morning well spent. My Dad had said that if he didn't get a home by Sunday then I was to bring him home with me. Seeing as I'm not doing that I asked if I could transfer the promise to another Cat but no dice. It's a shame because we have the COOLIEST Cat ever at the moment. Elvis "The Fonz" Stark. You couldn't ask for a more laid back, affectionate Cat than him. I'm teaching him how to give nose kisses at the moment and he's proving to be a very quick study. I waaaaant him! *pout* Though having said that, if I brought home every Cat I fell in love with I'd now be the owner of Salem and Socks (My own babies) as well as Standard Ginger, Sophie, Lady Lulu, Captain, Elvis, George, Mr. Norris, Bertram Thumbcat, Artemis, Zack, Mr. Dolly, Cassandra, Ivy, Marilyn, Carpet, Tung, Annabell and Lori lol.

I love Florida too.I don't like the cold winters up here in CT.Last winter was not that bad.I got a aunt and a cousin in Winterhaven.Plus an Uncle and friends scattered all over Florida. I think some people love it here the most during winter elsewhere, the humid summers, probably not so much but once you live here you get used to them. And being here year round you do notice subtle changes during the seasons. As I was driving home to Ohio a few weeks ago I noticed fields of purple flowers up in northern Florida that looked so pretty off the interstate. I think you see a bit more difference in seasons up there than you do in southern FL but you still notice little things down here. Certain wild flowers in bloom different times a year and milder temps during late winter. Stuff like that. Personally I think the best weather to be active outside and it not so hot, is during the winter months down here. Mid to high 70's feels great being outside in January and February. The Gulf can be a little chilly though during those months when the water dips from 90 to 70 but it probably feels fine for anyone coming down here from up north. But the winters here overall can't be beat :)

Yeah I think the midwest had a mild winter this year up there. Florida is beautiful and all but the hurricanes here are nothing to mess with I hear. I've been lucky to have been here 3 years now and not had to deal with those but you never know and have to be on your toes from June-November. I think the last one to rip through this area of SW FL was Charley in 2004 which came up through Charlotte Harbor down in Punta Gorda and done major damage. I've seen footage on tv of it and pics and it was no joke! Scary stuff. I think if a major storm was to ever come this way I'd just go up to Georgia or something and stay a few days :laugh: I don't want to be in any hurricanes down here.

I made up some last night.The daily walk is about 1.5 miles which I will make it more later.My goal is lose some pounds before Stevie's shows coming up and also walk the entire Atlantic City boardwalk when I go the the Borgata show.

[Enchanted_Stevi]

I've seemed to get in the habit of bowing to people as a way to say thank you or it's nice to meet you. I don't know why I started to do this or what compels me to do so. I feel like Stevie when she bows to her audience at the end of every show.

I've thought about doing that...but never got into the habit

[Enchanted_Stevi]

Yes Take a break to go see the Blue Man Group.You deserve the time off.Yes The Blue Man Group are great.Have fun at the show.

I do deserve a break!!! I've been non stop!

I cant wait for my week off at the end of June

Having a goal is always good =P

Yes having a goal is very important.

[estranged4life]

BTW I've lost 15 pounds =) 20 more to go and i'll be at my goal weight!

I am down to 225lbs from 265lbs one year ago - so all my clothes are now way too baggy, but thats fine since EVERYONE in this area are into baggy clothes, so I blend in (for once) without trying.

[wild-heart]

I've had a rough seven months and today was my last day proper day at college. Bitter sweet but I start a new university in September and I couldn't be more excited. I also have a great summer planned. :D

[estranged4life]

today considering how yesterday was bittersweet.

While having to deal with issues in my life, I decided that someone I did care about (But who lives in a fantasy world where she is a "poor victim" and I am "crazy" because I mailed a letter explaining "The Truth") needed to be Направлено в саду (Russian for "Sent to the Garden")

No regrets AT ALL...:D

[Macfanforever]

Yesterday I took a break from the computer which I really need.Today as I catching up on the Ledge .The school marching band marched by my house practicing for the memorial day parade.I did not recognize the tune they were playing but they sound great.I should of run out door and handed them some FM "Tusk" sheet music.It would be interesting how would it sound.

P.S. I'm glad you are feeling better Brian.

[Macfanforever]

I was at Walmart today.I looked all over the toy dept for those plastic model cars.I ask the worker where are they.He said Walmart stop selling them years ago.The guy said they stop carring them due to no sales plus kids were sticking the glue up their nose.I could not stand the smell of it.how can they can do that. The reason why I need Testors model glue is to use to fix plastic pieces on radio's and tv set's.

[Macfanforever]

I see Beyonce is having a 4 nighter at the new Revel casino in Atlantic City this weekend.
When I go down there in july I will check it out.Maybe Stevie will book there the next time around.

Where the HELL are you? Home? I'm planning on at least 3-4 days in heaven, next week(pissing off the club majorly, where I do sound)! F*ck em, I work like a dog for them, with very little recognition. Got screwed out of several hundred bucks this past week(on gear rentals that fell through, due to the promoter not properly "advancing" the shows - when I COULD have easily taken my vacation, if he wasn't the laziest man alive), so f*ck em! It's ME time, come next Saturday! I just gotta get outta this town for a few days, or heads might roll!:wavey:

Yeah I'm at home in Aberdeen! It's been so hot here that beers outside are necessary - it's brilliant. I will join you in Nashville sometime - honest! Since I'm not there right now though I bet my neighbours had no idea who the artist was that I was playing.

There's nothing worse than working with a lazy-ass person. I'd rather work with someone who was absolutely horrible, a real a*****e, but who you could count on to actually do their job. That way you don't have to deal with them as such because you know things will get done. Laziness though... you always have to chase after them!

In all seriousness I may plan a trip for next summer... Do you ever fancy a trip to the UK though?

That reminds me of the day I went to Wal Mart looking for the little bottles of Testor paint. They were all gone, too! Instead of not selling Testor paint and glue, they should have moved it to the crafts department!

[Macfanforever]

Ooh Miranda's cute.Oh getting drunk.I have not been drunk for about 25 years.

I guess I was not the only one looking for model stuff.Friday night I did a search online and found out that Micheals crafts have Testor products.I will check them later in the week.

The guy said they stop carring them due to no sales plus kids were sticking the glue up their nose.I could not stand the smell of it.how can they can do that.

I loved putting those models together when I was a child.
Maybe being around that glue would explain a few things
about me now.

Hahahhahahaha.I used to work with a guy that used too smell the Testors glue.He said he blames the glue for losing all his hair in his early 30's.

Kids today are doing up household cleaners now.

As I was heading to help my friend do some yardwork .On the way there I happen to spot a box full of records on the curb.I quickly turned around and pick the heavy box up and load it into my car.I notice the bottom felt wet due to last nights rain so I empty the records out in the car to dry some of them out.The sleaves are not that bad. Anyway what a collection.Mostly 1980's dance/pop tunes .some 1970's tunes .couple of country albums.few 1960's artists.That batch has all kinds of different tunes.I will say about 80 plus records.Now I got my living room covered of records which are airing out.I notice they had a price on the box. which was $2.00 for one or three for $5.00.They probably from a tag sale or fleamarket and they didn't sell. All of them are in great condition.

Ok.On the way home at the same spot there was another batch about 40 more records.most of these were from the 1940's to 1960's and most were dry from water. I walk up the street and carried that batch home.now all have a new home instead of the local landfill.


Ok probably all of you probably wondering if there was any Stevie or FM in the collaction.

"NO" There was no Stevie or FM in the collection. Not even a Rumours album which I was surprised.

[Macfanforever]

Good news for us traveling to Stevie/Lindsey shows this summer.The gas prices should start dropping which will be great.

Macfanforever,
That's so cool to find vinyl like that.
I've been really considering getting
a new turntable. There's so much new
vinyl being released from artist I really
like, such as Jack White, Shelby Lynne
and Melody Gardot.

But besides the "room" situation, of
which I'm running out of. There's the
cost involved. The cheapest decent
turntable Stereophile recommends is
a Music Hall USB-1 ($250.00). Then
there's the obligatory record vacuum
system. It can be an $$$ hobby.

[iamnotafraid]

16 tomorrow!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECCAMORRISFIFT!

Yes I agree.I still got look for my needles.I know I pack them away somewhere.Or buy a USB turntable.I don't know how those Ion turntables are and sound like but I'll look up Music Hall USB-1 as you mentioned .I would love to hear Stevie's IYD on vinyl.

The party that owned them took care of them.They are not scratched to crap like the ones at the fleamarket that I find.

I was thumbing through some tonight I found some 12" singles in the collection.I have to see what I got.

They can frisbee these CD's anyday and bring back vinyl.

OOh .CD's don't fly good.

[beccamorrisfift]

I saw a fox once in the woods in the 1970's. A fox ran across the road in front of me last week. Tonight a baby fox ran across the road in front of me.

I tweeted Dave Stewart to say he should bring Stevie on his UK tour and he replied saying, great but i'm not her manager. LOL. It was only an idea Dave ole chum.

[Enchanted_Stevi]

I hope it's for some Stevie time.



Yes having a goal is very important.


sadly its not for Stevie time...my friends and i rented a house in Maine for a week =)

yes it is...and I'm still only down 15 pounds...but working on it =P

I am down to 225lbs from 265lbs one year ago - so all my clothes are now way too baggy, but thats fine since EVERYONE in this area are into baggy clothes, so I blend in (for once) without trying.

I am very disturbed by the face-eating story out of Florida. I can't stop thinking about it.

[HejiraNYC]

I am very disturbed by the face-eating story out of Florida. I can't stop thinking about it.

I have to admit that it sounds like something straight out of Dexter. Very chilling. :eek: I read that there is a theory that this guy was high on bath salts. I mean, who actually takes baths anymore? I can't believe they still sell that stuff (for its intended purpose). I suppose it's just like VCR tape head cleaner, which is still being sold. I mean, it's because there are so many people out there still watching VHS videotapes, right? Wink wink, nudge nudge...

Well, the thing with "bath salts" is that they're not actually salts that you put in bath water.

The drug referred to as bath salts is usually one or a combination of some synthetic not-yet illegal substances (mephedrone, MDPV, and methylone) that looks like rock salt, and has to be crushed and snorted.

http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/features/bath-salts-drug-dangers

Apparently, some of the side effects are feeling like your organs are burning - super-human strength - and the loss of reason and logic. Gee, sounds fun. :rolleyes: These three things would explain why the guy was naked, took multiple shots to kill, and was eating someones face.

I can't help but say that while some people will try anything to get a high, I do feel in my heart that if some drugs like marijuana were legal, there would be less interest in ever-stranger and more dangerous types of drugs - but that's an alltogether different subject.

All the 'bath-salt' stuff aside, this story is unsettling to say the least and immediately made me think of The Walking Dead and the fact that the CDC has a zombie-plague-outbreak plan. I've looked at hospital photos of the victim which I now regret, and frankly, if that were me I'd beg the medical staff to kill me.

[estranged4life]

Been having issues with a certain psycho ex-girlfriend, well Monday morning we were communicating via phone/text and she (once again) tried to convince me that her husband/ex husband (I don't even know if they're legally divorced or not) was behind the original contacting of me (Her story is that he pretended to be someone informing me of her facebook profile)

Now logic to me would dictate that her story is a bunch of pure unbridled bull! But she kept on saying she had proof, and that he had been harassing her and bad talking me, as if I truly could care (I don't care to be honest). But c'mon, I am NOT a believer of such a far-fetched story.

She said her proof is facebook messages to her, but she cannot 'forward' them to me so I can view them and make my own decision on this whole stupid mess. I asked her again for her proof...again and again, never received it (Because I am sure there's no proof AT ALL!)

While talking to me, I decided I had enough of her delusional lies and crap, so I thought to add a couple of things into the conversation just to see if she would take them and run with them (In other words incorporate the things into her lies) - Such as a situation that happened here when she was living with me (An earthquake caused my waterbed to badly vibrate one night - 5.5 on the Richter Scale) and a "random" female name (I picked the name "Tammy" out of air for no real reason at all - all apologies to anyone named "Tammy", lol!).

After I added the situation and random female name to the conversation she said the name of the female was the same name as the person her husband/ex-husband has been living with and that she told him about the earthquake/waterbed situation! BUSTED! Abso-tively BUSTED! :thumbsup:

I even informed her that I made the name "Tammy" up and added the earthquake/waterbed situation just to prove that if given a suggestion she would add those suggestions to her 'stories'! She cannot be truthful to me so I cannot be trusting to her anymore, so she has been FLUSHED along with all the other crap she said/did.

Told people that I am a nice person UNTIL you f**k with me enough and I grow tired...LOL! She reminds of some idiots I traded music with, those who claim to own "rarities" that others don't...but they don't own a damn thing minus a delusional thought in their heads.

They aren't used in baths, but they are marketed as such- that was my point.

I also tend to disagree that legalizing marijuana will somehow mitigate the emergence of alternative psychoactive pharmacological agents. That's just like saying that, well, alcohol is legal; why bother ingesting anything else? People will always chase after the next great high- whether it's smoking doobies or skydiving off a cliff. It seems that now that people are armed with a great deal of information via a few clicks of a mouse, people have become empowered to discover the homology of different classes of chemicals and have become armchair discovery scientists when it comes to trying to get high. It's a shame that this kind of drive and ingenuity is not being channeled towards more productive endeavors!

[jannieC]

I do! Only during the fall and winter months, but oh how I love my bath soaks.

I can't look into this face eating story; it kind of reminds me of the scene in Hannibal when he says it takes like chicken. :distress:

[louielouie2000]

I do! Only during the fall and winter months, but oh how I love my bath soaks.

I am probably the only person left in the US who takes a bath every day (no showers for me!). They are just so supremely relaxing. Taking a bath is the only private time I ever get, too. Plus, I take a while to wake up in the morning... standing up and having water splash into my face when I'm barely conscious is torturous to me. :lol: Everybody thinks I'm a weirdo, but I love my baths! :D

[HejiraNYC]

I can't look into this face eating story; it kind of reminds me of the scene in Hannibal when he says it takes like chicken. :distress:

It's really kind of unavoidable. No only are (distant) surveillance videos available, there are also close-up pictures of the crime scene and the victim's face. I really cannot imagine how he survived the attack. Poor guy doesn't even have eyelids. :eek: I suspect this is even more gruesome than the chimpanzee attack on the woman in Connecticut several years ago.

That's not why people think you're a weirdo...:laugh:

Sorry, an obvious joke! How are you? As for the bath/shower debate, showers all the way for me! A good powerful shower in the morning just starts the day of well. I don;t even have a bath in my flat, just a shower and it's great :nod:
