tell me something...

[Coaster]

WOW............... I knew i didn't want to work last night........ missed IAK and Mae..... hugs to you both!!!!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Getting ready to make a big road trip, in addition to the normal, "everyday" stuff, getting ready for Christmas, sending out Christmas cards, wrapping presents...it's a wonder I have any sanity left. Must be why I stopped in at Pixies. ;)

[Mae]

Obviously, 7:12 PM was waaaay too late for me to be at the keyboard. :rolleyes:

OF...Ya got me! That was brilliant! :roflmao:

DB...Good to see you all, too! :)

Coaster...Hello and a warm hug back to you. :)

IAKG...Hope you have a good and safe trip. :)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

I just thought you were waving to the whole state, Mae. :wave:

:)

[Pita]

I have been freaking horny all day long!!

[AZRedHot]

^^^^ I am jealous of Her Tinglingship.

[Incubus255]

I've just realized I"m not perfect

[Lilith]

Welcome to the club!

[AZRedHot]

But isn't a relief when you realize you can stop trying to be perfect?

[Lilith]

I never bothered trying.
<----------------slack ass

[PantyFanatic]

There are only three perfect people. You, me and Jesus Christ and most of the time I'm not too sure about the two of you. :doorpeek:

[Mae]

That sometimes I disappear into the nether regions when there is a death in the family, or an elderly or ill friend needs me, or I just want to veg out away from EVERYTHING.

Wish I could do that^^.

[osuche]

I've been in a bit of a funk, and the holidays aren't helping

[sodaklostsoul]

I decided that next christmas I'm going home, not sure how many my mom will have left.

[IowaMan]

I've got that holiday funk thing going on a little bit too. I wish it was baseball season. :nod:

[Lilith]

My Most Honorable Son #2 has spent quite a bit of time covering the back hill with pine straw and is now sliding down the hill in a box. lol

[wrestlemark]

hey who needs snow...................have a great holiday ALL!!!! :molest:

[FlirtWithMe]

If you use your finger to clean the inside top edge of a tin can, you're likely to cut it, and there's likely to be blood :rolleyes:

[Oldfart]

Works with Aussie cans too.

[Pita]

I'm about to be put over his knee. :)

[Lilith]

I'd pay $$ to watch that :p

[scotzoidman]

I realized today that I'm still not ready to listen to the Blue Kats' demo disk without bringing back a lot of unpleasant memories.

Hella good bass player in that band, tho. :wink:

[Oldfart]

^^ What this means^^?

[AZRedHot]

I'm digging Lil's new avatar. Gorgeous! :o)

[scotzoidman]

I realized today that I'm still not ready to listen to the Blue Kats' demo disk without bringing back a lot of unpleasant memories.

Hella good bass player in that band, tho.

^^ What this means^^?
Band I was in about 6 years back. After making a semi-pro quality demo disk (& having my best friend/sound engineer doctor the master up for no $$$) the band ended badly...popped the disk in the CD player for the 1st time in years, thinking I was ready to deal with it now. Wrong!

[Lilith]

I got rubbed today. *sigh*

[AZRedHot]

The right way, I take it?

[1nutworld]

today's my last day filling in doing the news.

Yea! no more 3am reporting time.
Boo! no more 3 am reporting time.

[1nutworld]

"My" station was playing Queen's "Somebody to love".

Made me think of changing the words of the chorus; "need somebody to lay me".

[jaf]

I hear 'ya there!

[FlirtWithMe]

Yea! no more 3am reporting time.
Boo! no more 3 am reporting time.Right with you on the Yea! and Boo! :boobs:

one of my former lost boys will be singing at the inaugural ball, WRMC and a couple other places in DC

[sodaklostsoul]

Well once again I didn't get Christmas cards sent so at some point in time I'll be sending Hello cards. :)

[osuche]

I plan on going to the gym...but it may happen a bit later :p

[GusAspar]

I plan on going to the gym, too... and (who knows?) it may actually happen this year!

[Lilith]

I do not plan to go to the gym. I hate excercise for the sake of excercise. I plan to do things that burn calories that are fun. I can spend my life at the gym or I can spend time living life. My plan is to get excercise by walking more, playing sports, talking up physical hobbies etc.

[FlirtWithMe]

My plan is to get excercise by walking more [...]This is my plan, too. I'll post my distances on the Pixies Power thread and if you need a virtual walking buddy, just holler :wave:

[IowaMan]

It looks like I'm not going to win any money in the college football bowl pool that I entered. :tear:

[dicksbro]

I didn't do well on the pro-football games this past weekend. Missed 3 of 4. :(

At least the Ravens came through. :)

[1nutworld]

I saved myself the torment of any bowl or pro football pools. I'm getting pretty good at the easy level of Guitar Hero though....

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Yay for 1nutworld!


My son thinks I'm semi-cool because I've almost mastered medium and am moving onto the hard level. :D

[scotzoidman]

My mother-in-law passed away early Monday am (actually she didn't make it till midnite, but wasn't officially pronounced until later)...next few days promise to be very *interesting*, with a unique cast of characters (my in-laws) all coming together in one place, and Yours Truly playing mentor (& potential referee), having BTDT with my own parents in the last decade...

:hair: :argue: :banghead: :whack:

[PantyFanatic]

Sorry to hear that Zoid. Not a fun time. :rolleyes:

[dicksbro]

Sorry to hear about your loss, Scotz. We'll be praying that all goes well for you.

[FlirtWithMe]

My condolences, Scotz.

[scotzoidman]

The funeral service was lovely, everyone had a good cry, & even the passing train during the graveside service was an interesting moment. :rolleyes2

Now, as they say, it's all over but the shouting...

[FlirtWithMe]

Now, as they say, it's all over but the shouting...I'm glad the service went well but I don't envy you the shouting to come... Eight years on I still feel bruised.

[osuche]

Both my joints and my muscles ache...it's not a good combo

[IowaMan]

I'm not breathing well and the Cubs had damn well better win the World Series this fall.

[dicksbro]

My nose is running and I'm going through a lot of Kleenex.

[scotzoidman]

This wireless keybard is driving me crazy.
My typo rate (ike ^ this one) is going up at an alarming rate

[PantyFanatic]

"typo rate"

What's that? :confused:























:rofl:

[osuche]

Two cups of tea and I still want another...my caffeine cravings are getting out of hand.

[FlirtWithMe]

Today is a happy day :D

[scotzoidman]

This wireless keybard is driving me crazy.
My typo rate (ike ^ this one) is going up at an alarming rate
What's amazing to me is that whatever wireless signal this thing uses has a lag time, as if it has to think about the last keystroke it made before it considers another...& I'm not a real fast typist, somewhere between a slow touch-typer & a half-fast hunt&pecker (don't say it, I know I left 2 doors wide open there)...this thing would be a disaster for a truly fast & skilled touch typist...

[PantyFanatic]

DARN! :mad:

As I'm reading your words, Zoid, :nana: my one typing finger started twitching :thumb: ................ then you had to go and ruin it all. :(

...(don't say it, I know I left 2 doors wide open there)...

[Fangtasia]

My net is about to run out, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So if y'all dont see me til the 17th, ya know why!!

[PantyFanatic]

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! :hair:

[PantyFanatic]

I'm only bitchen because Lil isn't going on vacation while the GURAD is out of net time :D



















:nod:

[IAKaraokeGirl]

We've had a difficult evening. A friend I've grown very close to is moving tomorrow with her two sons, who also happen to be my children's best friends. Fortunately, it's not so far away that visits are out of the question, but it's especially hard so far on my son (the sensitive one).

Goodbyes never get any easier, no matter how old you get. *sigh*

[Sharni]

LMFAO....hey PF whats a GURAD? ;):D:D

[PantyFanatic]

It's like a guard only with a bigger ax and meaner.

ROFL is that right....

[IowaMan]

Two and a Half Men was hilarious tonight.

[Lilith]

I missed it because of 24

[IowaMan]

It's way too cold here right now. (-12F) :curse:

[Pita]

I'm tired and grumpy and not looking forward to the long day ahead of me.

[dicksbro]

I've got to finish getting ready for my Thursday trip.

[jay-t]

Having to babysit a sick grand daughter today

[jbh3]

It's been so long since I've seen the Ocean.....I guess I should.

[Pita]

I just got called into work, on my day off!! :mad:

[scotzoidman]

As if we don't have enough on our plate, Riley dog has to go to the V-E-T...eye infection.

I'll tell you something........it is friggin' cold :mad:

[mercifulangel]

Bibi - I Second That And My Little Toes Are Blue

[Lilith]

My ass is still sore from taking it up the ass for a colleague today. Today it was even popsicle cold in N Fl. I walked in to a portable with no heat. I had blowing air but no heat. It was 50 in my classroom and the temperature was dropping. I reported it to the office and they offered me to bring my students into the main building. Kind offer but I had an autistic student having a bad day who was losing his damn mind and trying soooooooooooooo hard to keep it together. A move would have been disasterous. So we asked them to call and get us help. I get to work at 6:30 and at 10:30 still no heat or HVAC dude. So the aide next door kindly came over and tried to fix it. I teasingly told him that he was getting us in trouble. Little did I know how true that was to be. He went online and looked up the thermostat manual and unlocked the thermostat and fixed it. Within 10 minutes it was 60 degrees. So I took my kids to lunch and when I returned the HVAC dude was there. He asked who touched it and how they overrode the system the district has in place and I said I did it. He proceeded to scold me and I explained impolitely how it was fixed and that now that he's touched it that was no longer the case. Anyhow he came inside my class and tore me a new one in front of my kids and my aides. I had to just suck it up and set a good example. About halfway through him telling me how I was going to be reported and the district was gonna take away my birthday :p I realized that I just had to de-escalate him in the same way I do my crazy kids. I think it ended up with him understanding but I guess we will see. I told the secretary that if she gets a call from HVAC for the principal she should accidentally disconnect. :p

[Fangtasia]

Oh dear Lil. So they expected you to sit there with kids and freeze? Idiots!

We Downunder are having a heat wave while you Upover are freezing ya asses off it seems!

[PantyFanatic]

We call that "summer" and "winter". ;)




(too bad you never have the winter :cool: )

[scotzoidman]

Anyhow he came inside my class and tore me a new one in front of my kids and my aides. I had to just suck it up and set a good example. :p
Screw setting a good example. I would have dragged the MF out of the room by the ear, & let him know in no uncertain terms that he has no right to embarrass you in front of your students. Actually, that would be a better example to the kids, to show them that NOBODY has the right to humiliate anybody. :whack:

And then ask him to explain why he didn't show up earlier & do his job so you didn't have to break the rules by doing it for him.

[PantyFanatic]

^^^ :nod:

[SethAwakened]

um lets see i got my transfer to university of massachusetts dartmouth aproved so thats good
but lovelife is a non existant hoping the change of scenery will help that ..... i hope....

I did all that in the beginning when we were out doors. Then I remembered that I didn't do it and was dealing with the asshole so that someone else would not have to. Made it easy to disassociate.

Actually, in my past lives, I may have let a few dickheads humiliate me 'cause I needed my job more than I needed my pride. These days, living with constant pain has made me less tolerant of sadistic assholes; they usually end up regretting fucking with me. I :bite: back.

[Oldfart]

Intact. Anything else is a bonus.

Work, play or personal?

This year they cut $4 million from my district's budget. Next year they are cutting $12 million. While I have tenure, they are talking about laying off a percentage of us. I can't afford to lose my job cause I was my usual self when taking it up the ass for someone else.

[scotzoidman]

I am in a serious crisis and I'm not sure how to make it to the other side.
BTDT, & it didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. Be assured that we're all McGuyvering our way thru life's challenges.

[IowaMan]

I learned last night that a unicorn is just a pony wearing a strap-on. :p

[Lilith]

I saw that too^^^^ LOL



I am proud today for the first time in a really long time

[IowaMan]

My "baby" niece turned 17 yrs old today. :faint:

[PantyFanatic]

I too think we may have a chance to work our way back to proud today.

[jay-t]

Because of work I did not get to see the Inaugration,only 1 question?












did the door hit hiom in the butt on the way out!!!!!!!

[IowaMan]

Probably not as hard as many would've liked. :rofl:


Seriously though, I hope he is able to just sit back and enjoy life out of the public life for a bit. I mean, no matter what you may think of the job he did while in office, that's not a job I would wish upon anybody.

I am not a Bush supporter but I do truly believe he did what he thought was right for the country, and that's really about all we can ask of our President.

His is a Presidential Library that I would love to visit someday.

[AZRedHot]

His is a Presidential Library that I would love to visit someday.

Yeah, that Archie comic and Mad magazine will be something to see...

When we talked you said you were hoping to get a pink unicorn at the second coming.:( Sorry about that but he was busy yesterday, walking across the Potomac to take the oath. :rofl:

You have to remember that after the place the USA has been taken, Daffy Duck would look like the messiah. I guess our media is as desperate for hope as the rest of us. I'm just glad that Obama is trying to deal with the realities at hand. At least he is making the right noises now.

[PantyFanatic]

....I am not a Bush supporter but I do truly believe he did what he thought was right for the country, and that's really about all we can ask of our President. .....
Sorry to say that I also expect him to uphold the Constitution of this country and not be the head of an administration that I believe with intent and design willfully took it in another direction. My thoughts are that, that office is also bound to honor the conventions, treaties and agreements this country has pledged or by direction of the legislation, separate us from them.

That office and authority are not the reward to any privileged individual to fulfill their personal agenda. It does come with the responsibility to lead a nation based on ideals and goals that supersedes any lineage or immediate desire.

It is a position that calls for the highest integrity and has the gravest responsibility for all it's citizens today and for the future. Not one that most of us could do, would want or even can comprehend the gravity of. That is why it is on us to select a true "leader" and not just somebody to occupy the seat.
:shrug:

[jseal]

... That is why it is on us to select a true "leader" and not just somebody to occupy the seat.
Too true.

The highlight of my day today was taking an online IQ test.

I'm having to redefine my role in life, and it's not been easy.

[Rhiannon]

no its not karoke.. i am doing the same. considering going back to school etc

[osuche]

Like IAKG and Rhiannon, I have been redefining my life. For instance, this is my first visit to Pixies in 1.5 months - a new record for me

Toooooo true Oldfart. I was never ever a fan of gridiron when I lived there but Catch has turned me onto footy and ohhhmyyygawwwd am I hooked. I prefer rugby League the best and am a Cowboys fan. Yeah, I know, I should be a Bronco's fan but I like the Cowboys better.

*Whispers* ---> thinks gridiron is for wusses now.

Yeah, right.

Google tells me it's self-lighting pipe or a cartoon character.

I have no knowledge of the term.

Wicket-keeper is the only other logical (to me) choice.

Who wouldn't GG? I just bought an airsoft pistol and a couple of spare clips for it. Hopefully it will get here middle of next week.

The difference here is that when your oven didn't clean itself, it didn't require an early trip to the store to replace all the frozen foods ruined.

On the plus side, we now have a truly clean fridge for the first time in years...

If there are particular Pixies you wish to see it, create a hotmail account and email the photo to the same account. Give the password to the chosen.

[AZRedHot]

Thanks Oldfart. :) I think I've got a workaround now.

[dicksbro]

I hope it doesn't rain tomorrow. Suppose to be in a Labor Day parade in a nearby town and then go for a hog roast at a friend of ours home.

Here's hoping for you.

I got rained on HARD leaving Ashland City today. And I swear one of the lightning strikes hit just above the roof of my van

I'm annoyed that one of the ads in the Sunday paper described the guitar that comes with the new Beatles Rock Band game as a Rickenbacker 325, when it clearly was a faux guitar meant to look like the Hoffner bass (which makes no sense anyway, but that's another rant) and didn't look anything like a Rick 325. That tiny bit of research shouldn't have been that hard to do, right????

Today is suppose to have some nice weather for the parade I'm in.

Doesn't bode well for how realistic the game will be, does it? Heard this a.m that "Back In the U.S.S.R" shows all 4 Beatles in their usual roles, while most any true Beatle fan knows that Ringo had quit the band during that recording, Paul was on the drums, & George was plucking away at a Fender Bass VI...so much for virtual reality.

[Lord Snow]

I think the demographic they're aiming the game at doesn't know about all that and would disappointed to play a game that doesn't have all four Beatles in it. I know I didn't know that Ringo had left the group, but while I enjoy their music I'm not a hardcore fan and I'm to young to have lived through that time period.

Rock Band is based on doing live shows not studio recording. I'm going to take a leap here and assume that when they played "Back In the U.S.S.R" live Ringo played drums.

I'm pretty sure the Beatles never played "Back in the USSR" live; they stopped doing live shows in 1966, with the exception of the rooftop concert in 1969. The White Album including that song came out in 1968.

Next! :spank:

They do offer a Rickenbacker 325 that can be purchased separately (as well as a Gretsch Duo-Jet), but that's silly to say the Rick comes with the game when it clearly does not. I'm curious why you feel it makes no sense to offer the game with the Hofner bass?

I would really like to pick this game up. I find the Rock Band/Guitar hero games to be fun as it is, but I think it's really cool that the Beatle's Edition allows for up to three vocalists so you can (attempt) to sing the harmonies as led by the game.

The ad I saw had the picture of the Hofner bass labeled as the Rick. I think it's weird that the instrument that comes with the game is a bass; not a lot of people play air bass; it's faux guitar they want to play.

Of course, I don't see the appeal myself. Why would I want to play a fake guitar? I'd rather play for real.

[Pita]

I ruined dinner!! I made this sandwich and it came out crappy and I tried to make oven-fried onion rings and burned them to a nasty crisp. Should have made him take me out for dinner. :(

This is the third full Rock Band brand game released and it's supposed to be compatible with most controllers, including those produced for use with Guitar Hero. There's a solid chance that folks that pick up this game will already have a guitar (at the very least) that will work with this game and the Hofner bass is arguably the most recognizable instrument the Beatles used. People have the option of guitar, bass, vocals, and drums in the game, so it makes sense, to me anyway, to include the bass since most folks likely don't have one. (Yes, a regular guitar controller will work fine, but they're trying to sell the look as well as the music.) They also sell a non-Beatles related bass controller that has a split strum bar so you can walk it with two fingers. Just some info on a game I have fun with, which is really all it is... A game of dexterity and hand eye coordination.

[Neige]

I want a kitten!!!

[Fangtasia]

I just found out that someone i work with (pretty sure which 1 of the 2) is far more bitch than i ever gave her credit for! I'm upset and disappointed in her and am not quite sure how i will manage to face her let alone be civil this afternoon.

[dicksbro]

I've got a headache. Haven't had one in ages, but, this one is making up for lost time. :(

^^^^^^^^Ahhhh, feel better DB


I got the next two days off and I plan to be LAZY!!!!

Hey, I always wanted to be Paul anyway!...'cept I'm not a lefty...

I suppose I was being a little grumpy & splitting hairs on the "who played what" dispute...the developers actually answered the question of "USSR" saying that they were more concerned w/peeps having fun being the Beatles, than historical accuracy. I'm with AZ (I wish!) on getting the guitar names right should be a major priority.

Aqua, I asked #2 son if he was interested in getting the Beatles/Rock Band, & he said his Guitar Hero controllers don't work w/RB...could be he got it wrong, but I didn't realize there was a difference....

[Fangtasia]

The 1st legalised brothel here is having an open day on Saturday (complete with a sausage sizzle *L*) I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wanna go have a looksee. I'll be asking Bilbo tonight if we can go *L*

And let me say, ppl around here need to build a bridge over the fact that the brothel is here. Honestly, i'd much rather a legal one where girls regularly have health checks and things arent sleazy than the illegal ones that are around

[scotzoidman]

"sausage sizzle?" :faint: :yikes:



...ooooh, you didn't mean...

[Fangtasia]

Not that sort of sausage *LMAO*

[Oldfart]

"brothel here is having an open day" does seem to have a certain ring to it.

[AZRedHot]

I'm with AZ

I like the sound of that! :)

I've got to do some lawn trimming this morning.

I'm not looking forward to supper tonight... We are waiting for my mother-in-law to announce that she is getting the boys' dog put to sleep. She is at least 20 years old by their calculations, and her hips and back legs aren't working too well anymore... It's going to suck to have her gone. :(

[Oldfart]

It's going to suck to have her gone. :(

It'll suck more having her linger in an existence where her only joy is the attention from her "pack".

[Lord Snow]

Keep in mind Neige, no one is truly gone until they are forgotten. So long as you hold her in your hearts she'll live forever.

I hear ya...as I mentioned elsewhere, I've been wrestling with the same decision about my 17 yr old Pom-X for about a week now. Knowing when the right moment has come is the hardest part (so far).

Well it actually didn't come up last night. It's very hard knowing when the right moment has come... (((scotz)))
