There are so many things missing, last night
Last week, and now quieted by irreverence
Two feet deep and thick with sickness
We are lost and no longer linger. Still
I can reason your denial in difference
Came upon you for thought, and mine
I must say thrust upon me in shame.
I shut my book to save your eyes.
Who is lost in plain sight can speak
As you have always claimed, in truth.
p.s. with an uncompromised view for any other is...well, it is compromised.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

«Oldest ‹Older 3201 – 3400 of 5811 Newer› Newest»I think the anons just made it too awkward and maybe he was afraid she'd be targeted worse if he talked to her the way he always used to.
I doubt he was being considerate towards her seeing as how he says we can all 'take care of ourselves'
Well, like I said, it has become increasingly more and more difficult for everyone involved. And yes, I recognize the absurdity in that statement because this is, afterall, just a blog. It's hard just to come in here and talk anymore. Just pure meaness. Name calling and other bullshit. If you try and stick up for someone, all you do is bring that person more trouble it seems.

But know this, I would fight for each and every one of you...each and every one.
I don't think he excluded anyone in saying that.

Thank you Amyranth. I have to ask, when did this become the Kapunua and Mayo show? All of us have been through so much shit on a nearly daily basis and we don't all expect for a "there, there, it will be alright."
Go back over the months. See what has happened to us all. Huge things. Some good, some bad, some tragic. It was never an issue before if Mayo didn't say anything.
I agree it is a shame that he probably can't say much to ANYONE anymore. It goes both ways too. We used to be able to talk to Mayo and SS the way we wanted to as well. Not anymore. Someone is always waiting to jump out from the wings and pick apart every little thing. I hate it, most of us here hate it, and I'm sure Mayo and SS aren't too fond of it either.
If everyone would just be happy for each other when they are spoken to, and support each other, it would be nice. Not likely, but nice.
Oh, and one more thing, for some of you "anons" that have been coming in lately-
Eliza, FUCK YOU AND YOUR CREW, and leave us all the HELL ALONE!
Sock, it's highly illegal to open someone's mail, let alone deposit thier check for them into your bank account.
I'll just get someone else to do it. XD

Amyranth we both know that kapu was the only person to 'get' what mayo meant when he put 'sharp' on his profile.
Yep Amy, you're right about that. I just don't understand it, I guess. The shift toward such ugliness baffles me. I've been called pathetic in here more times that I care to remember. And I'd like to say that it doesn't bother me, but sometimes it does.
It tough to even come in here and talk about Mayo's posts anymore without someone jumping all over us for that too.
I just don't get it.
Thank YOU, Enough Already.

Yeah, that, too. I miss talking about Mayo's posts, I do.

I's getting to the point where the Anons are around more than we are, and while not all of them have Borderline Personality Disorder, it's kinda sad that it's not more familiar in here than it was 5 months ago.
-A
1:06 you are right. it is hard for mayo and ss to talk the way they used to, anons jump out and cause confusion like they did with the anon that was trying to talk to kapu yesterday. even if mayo or ss try and post when there are no anons around as soon as they post the anons arrive in force to stir up trouble so no wonder they hardly post anymore.
OK amyranth, what did he mean by sharp?
Mayo,
Smoke has homemade cream puffs and she was not going to share with you.
Just wanted you to know what kind of person she really is.
Muahahhahah!
12:36, thank you. I really should be thanking those anons, to be honest. They put in motion a really positive change in my life. I need to thank them for being the butterfly to what could be my most awesome hurricane. We'll see.
As far as Mayo goes, gosh, nothing bad happened between us. There's no hate, there's no animosity, there's no drama. There is a snark rule and it says that if enough people tell you something is true, even if you don't want to hear it, it probably is. The last thing I want is for anyone--anyone--to feel obliged to talk to me or to be my friend. That makes me feel awful. No one has to talk to or answer anyone they don't want to. There are folks I don't talk to; that right is extended to everyone. No one should ever feel socially mandated to talk to me, that's for certain. That's really all there is to it. It's just a blog.
Mayo,
You know I'd give you a cream puff. If I had any left. :)
Bwahaha.
You didn't share your pralines, so I ain't sharing my cream puffs.

Yes, just because all of the lovelies don't all run in here claiming to know exactly what Mayo is talking about doesn't mean they don't get what he is saying. Some of them are not desperate for anyone's attention.
They don't constantly have to point out they were THE FIRST to get 'cabal' and shit like that.
Just sayin'.
Yes, Sdock. It is not about who got it first or who knows more than the other. Ummm, how old are we again? Because if that kind of thing bothers you, well, I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say. Study harder and answer quicker, I guess.

Was she the first to get TINC and cabal, anonymous?
Maybe others got it but didn't feel the need to brag or show how smart they supposedly are.
She needs to stop trying so hard. It is annoying and immature.
Kapunua,
Since you're here, would you explain please what "sharp" and "Choctaw" meant?
These comments above indicate regulars with huge inferiority complexes. I also think that most of the nasty anons are infact named regulars. Its just convenient to try to divert attention to Eliza etc.
Nothing, we were just talking about heritage.
Can we all please just quit it?
Yes, tell us what 'sharp' and 'choctaw' meant.
Lies can be sharp.
I think a lot of them are regulars, too. They would have to have been around for all of this stuff. And I'm sorry, but I really don't believe that there are people who sit here and read all day and then never comment except times like this. There is a lot of jealousy.
But what about "sharp"?

Anon, Kapunua knows, but she had to leave for awhile. I'm sure she'll explain it when she gets back. She'll probably be back tonight if you'd like to come back then and ask her again.
I think she does know because she is so intelligent. It would be nice to find out what it meant.
What is all the Sei shonigan stuff from last night?
She's a dreadful snob and can't help but pat herself on the back when she says something clever, but she is also very affectionate and lively, and she seems to have the happy knack of taking great pleasure in the ordinary things in life.
Affectionate?
Maybe if all you do is agree with what she says.
A thousand years ago a lady-in-waiting in the imperial court at Heian Kyo (modern-day Kyoto) dipped her brush into the well of her inkstone and watched the bristles swell with ink. She lowered the brush onto the paper spread in front of her and moved her hand rapidly:
Haru wa akebono . . . In spring, the dawn. The sky, dyed in morning light, slowly brightens and purple clouds stretch across the mountains. . . .
She guided the brush up and down the page:
Natsu wa yoru . . . In summer, the night. I need not write of the nights lit by the moon, but of the moonless nights, the fireflies' lights crossing in the darkness. . . .
A bristle worked itself loose. She perched it onto the left edge of the inkstone and continued:
Aki wa yugure. . . In autumn, the evening. The setting sun burnishes the edges of the mountains and the birds fly home. . . . A trembling line of wild geese flies into the distance and disappears. . . .
"Shonagon," a voice called. She lifted her hand and looked toward the corridor. After she glanced at what she had written, she laid her brush lengthwise on the inkstone. When she stood up the brush shifted slightly, so she bent down and gently tapped it. Satisfied that the barrel of the brush was aligned with the inkstone's left edge, she left the room.
This is the beginning of The Pillow Book, a pastiche of idiosyncratic lists, diary entries, and reminiscences— one of Japan's earliest prose masterpieces. Its author, Sei Shonagon, probably wrote this in 1000, the same year a scribe in England scratched runes into a manuscript of Beowulf.
Shonagon imbued these opening lines with mono no awaré: beauty is precious because it is brief. Mono no awaré, the heritage of the Heian Period (794-1192), became a uniquely Japanese aesthetic. A preference for, Joseph Campbell writes, "the unsymmetrical [that] suggests movement; the purposely unfinished [that] leaves a vacuum into which the imagination of the beholder can pour." In The Pillow Book's opening lines, Shonagon puts things in motion to remind us they will not last: the clouds stretch only to disappear; the fireflies' paths do not meet again; the geese fly into the setting sun and darkness descends. Her sentences don't end so much as they scatter, like cherry blossoms tugged off branches in the wind — a favorite simile of writers at the time — mono no awaré.
But frankly, mono no awaré was pop culture during the Heian period. Shonagon's contemporary, Murasaki Shikibu, uses the word awaré over a thousand times in The Tale of Genji (granted, it's a long novel) and, while the Japanese pride themselves on their ability to quote the beginning of The Pillow Book in Heian Japanese (they have to memorize it in junior high), few Japanese have read the book far enough to know that Shonagon does something else within its pages that reminds us all of our humanity, regardless of our time, culture, or language.
She complains. She gloats. She finds fault with others. And when she does, the millennium separating her from us vanishes: "Just as a woman is about to tell me something really interesting," she writes in her list of Things That Irritate Me, "and I'm sitting there just dying to hear it, her baby starts crying." "I know I shouldn't think this way, and I know I'll be punished for it," she writes in her list of Things That Make Me Happy, "but I just love it when bad things happen to people I can't stand." "Ugly people," she starts off her list of Things That Don't Have Any Redeeming Qualities, "with disagreeable personalities."
The Pillow Book ends in tragedy. Teishi, the young empress whom Shonagon serves, gets in the way of her uncle, the ambitious Fujiwara Michinaga. Michinaga's insatiable desire for power drives him to break the "one emperor-one empress" tradition that weathered the reigns of sixty-six monarchs. He forces the emperor to recognize a second empress, Michinaga's eleven-year-old daughter. Teishi, at twenty-four, pregnant with the child of the emperor who abandons her, her father dead and her brother powerless to help, faces Michinaga alone. When it's over, Shonagon leaves the court and disappears.
I am not spewing hate 2.08
I don't see how asking her friends to help her with her self admitted issues could be considered hate.
How old are you?

*wonders if it is lead based*
Shonagon writes extensively about her affairs. These boudoir scenes, though, disappoint that reader who, titillated by The Pillow Book's title, hopes to find thousand-year-old erotica. (The most sensuous passage I found describes a solitary autumn afternoon: "I love to slide a silk robe over my face and take a nap," she writes, "breathing through the filmy scent of sweat.") Few of Shonagon's lovers please her, though, and most find themselves included in her list of Things That Irritate Me. They snore, and stumble around in the darkness the morning after, looking for the Heian equivalent of their car keys.
The Pillow Book's title comes from the Heian aristocrats' habit of keeping notepaper near their pillows, makura. Since Shonagon calls her work in progress soshi, "random notes," the Japanese refer to her collected essays as Makura no Soshi (Random Notes of the Pillow), a title she probably never used herself.
The Empress Teishi, from their first meeting, shows a special affection for the older, and vastly more experienced, Shonagon. Throughout The Pillow Book Teishi gently chides Shonagon for her excesses and, while Shonagon never admits it, the reader readily sees that Shonagon aspires to be like Teishi: considerate, delicate, gentle. Teishi becomes the center of Shonagon's life for the next ten years, the only person to whom Shonagon shows tenderness. Shonagon writes as if her empress were ethereal: "My eyes were opened to a beauty I didnÃt know existed in this world." Teishi may well have been divine, ShonagonÃs acerbic brush wouldn't have spared her if she weren't, and the portrait Shonagon draws of her fragile empress makes Teishi's tragedy all the more poignant.
A tragedy that reaches out for, but does not engulf, Shonagon. While what became of Shonagon remains a mystery, the pages she leaves behind indicate a personality bent on survival: "When I come into the room to serve Her Majesty and see the other women have already crowded around her, I sit next to a column apart from them. Her Majesty sees me and calls. I love it when the others make way for me when I go to sit next to her."
Sei is Kapunua. I was looking these things up on Wiki and other sites. I'm amazed at how Sei really seems JUST like Kapunua.
runs out to buy the Pillow Book...

You still have not said why you let her bother you so much. Why not just scroll past?
You are a vindictive regular but, more importantly, I wonder if you are part of a syndicate of a few regulars who are on a mission to undermine her.
And what kind of stupid question is"how old are you?" Is that really the best you can come up with, very sharp!
Thanks 2:15. I have never said anything hateful to anyone here, I just really would like to know the answer.
Mono no awaré is a phrase about seeing and recocgnizing how fragile, beautiful and fleeting things can be. It's about appreciating things while they are here because they could be gone tomorrow.
For anyone in lurve:
Lucky
Do you hear me talking to you?Across the water, across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy, I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you,
I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music, fill the air
I put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty, you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me, right here, right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
May you be happy always.
Awww, Mustard, I lurve that! :)
True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. – Jason Jordan
One god down, one more to go! Sano thinks it's appropriate to dry himself off on my sofa. Nice. And Haku is giving me the side-eye as if to say, "Don't even think that I'm going to be next."
Anon, I love Sei Shonagon. I'm glad you're buying The Pillow Book, it's one of my favorites.
Check this out. Liz Trotta from Fox news:
Grinning While Joking About Killing A Candidate.
When asked her opinion of the recent scandal surrounding some comments made by Sen. Hillary Clinton, which Trotta described by saying that, "some are reading [it] as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama." Hemmer quickly corrected Trotta, having noticed that she had said "Osama" when she meant "Obama." At this point, Trotta said, "Obama. Well...both if we could!" Trotta then laughed gleefully.
Fox news. Fair and balanced!
hello everyone!!
i didn't realise it was a public holiday in the USA? but i have just read on my calendar that it is memorial day!
how is everyone?
But I'm a total hypocrite, because if bad things happened to politicians I hate, I'd throw a party, so.
for all the theorists
15. The Man
Theory stating that somewhere "The Man" is keeping you down. Is it the result of some sort of push-down machine? Maybe a suction device or mutant power. No, it was gravity all along. Gravity is what's keeping you down and you better be thankful for that. Outer space is full of robots, mean robots.
14. Mirrors
Mirrors don't reflect, they're actually portals to a parallel universe containing people's evil twins. When you're not looking you're evil twin will jump out of the mirror, kill you and take your place.
13. Hell
Theory stateing that Hell is a lie perpitrated by "the church" to control the masses. Naturaly the person who thought this up is now Satans BITCH.
12. Ice
ICE?! There's never been any ice! Ice is just a myth!
11. You can't spell conspiracy without "piracy". Think about it.
10. Entry 9 is a lie!
Because it is, as you can plainly see for yourself.
9. Entry 86 is the truth!
Because it is, as you can plainly see for yourself.
8. Freemasons
Freemasons are not actually free, with shipping and handling, the hookup charge, and hidden service charges they actually cost about $50 each.
7. The number 7
7 is myth. It does not exist.
6. The Earth is round
Come on anybody who believes that is obviously crazy!...Right?
5. Trinidad and Tobago
Tobago Suffers from diasassociative identity disorder and will assume the personality of Trinidad in times of great emotional stress. This was originally developed as a mental defense reflex after suffering severe mental abuse at the hands of Venezuela. Tobago often claims to have witnessesed Trinidad's action though will adamantly refuse that he took part in them and will claia lost time and amnesiac blackouts are a result of low blood sugar.
4. Wallabies
There are no wallabies, just midget kangaroos.
3. Water
People don't need to drink, they're just addicted to the stuff. Tap water only furthers the stereotype that it's necessary. Cave men were well known for not drinking ANY liquids, and they turned out just fine.
2. Cabal
There is no Cabal.
1. Toffee apple
the theory that toffee apples are a form of your daily fruit content. e.g- if brocoli was covered in shit, it would still be good for you as it still a veggie.
Aw, Smoke, didja like? I can't relate so much to the lyrics, but the music is beautiful. I love two-part harmonies. :)
Hey, FASC! How's it going?
thanks conspiracy!! atleast a toffee apple is one portion of fruit though!! if they actually eat it all!
hi mustard!

Hi and bye FASC! :)
FASC, I'm glad to hear you're doing well! Have fun watching television!
"I shut my book to save your eyes"....
You should open it again. I think her eyes liked it better open.
*Yawn*
I'm so tired.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY L!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a great day sweetie.
Happy birthday L, I hope all your wildest dreams come true except for the one with you fucking Frank in the ass with a strap on like you wrote about that time.
I ♥ "8th Grade." Cannot help myself.
Hey, MissT!
****MOTHERFUCKER!!!!****
Me, too!
HIYA MUSTARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD SEXY!
How are you?
SMOOOOOOKE!
It makes all of my agression go away.
MissT, I'm pretty swell. Just hangin' out, listening to music, the norm! How are you doing? How are things with the boy?
Yo princess dude. How's you's?
WTF at our spelling mistakes today, I swear?! Damn.
He's still on Guard Duty today so he has to stand still and can't text. Though he did sneak in a couple last night.
I went shopping today and I'm knackered.
How was memorial day?
Oooo, so Russ The Rebel! ;)
Memorial Day was nice, very quiet, reflective at times. Thank you for asking. :)
Ooops, forgot to ask. What'd ya get when you went shopping? Anything cool?
I got a lovely chocolatey smelling bath bomb from Lush. My fave shop.
I got some new flip flops too.
A chocolate bath bomb? MissT, that sounds kind of dangerous. Sure you want to blow up the bathtub?
;)
No really. What's a bath bomb?
I love the way the samaras come swarming down during windy days like this one. It's like a cloud of locusts, then they rattle all over the ground for days afterwards. It's so delightful!
Hey guys. Do I have to even tell you all I'm making a smoothie? Okay, but smoothie talk is boring. how are you all?
I'll be back in a bit, gonna throw stuff in a blender.
It's a ball of bath powder and when you drop it in the bath it fizzes and melts and you get a lovely smelling bath.
OOooohh, a bath bomb. Niiiice.
Gahhh! What's wrong with my name? O_O
Make me one, Jules. I just picked some fresh blackberries. :)
Yum, smoothies. See you in a bit, Jules!
MissT, I now know exactly what you're talking about. We have them here, too. They look like massive jaw breakers, it makes your bath feel like you're in a giant glass of cola.
My name is now linked to Lush.
Pretty cool. :)
Yeah, that's it mustard.
I'm trying to do the link to the shop but it won't work.
Check out Lush.co.uk
Some things are just fucking unnecessary.
Just sayin...
What's up BlogBelieve Peeps?
I just got home.
You are Lush smoke. Yummy Yum.
Hiya K, how are you sweetie?
Smoke,
You are a lush.
Nope, wait...
That's me.
Sorry.
MissT, I will definitely give them a looksee. :)
Hey, Sdock! What's unnecessary?
Just click my Blogger B and it'll take you right to it. Don't ask me how. O_O
Yes, Solly, some things are unnecessary and I wish I had never read them.
Hi Sdock
Hiya Solly sweetie, how are you?
You are lush too Solly.
Hi anon, how are you today?
Hello, Anonymous! :)
Well, thank you MissTottenham
Hi Mustard, Hi Anon, Hi Smoke, Hi MissT, Hi K, Hi Lurkers, Hi Watchers!
Mustard, you know....just stuff.
So, I was riding with my windows rolled down because I have no a/c in my truck and my hand dangling out the window. I swear people think I am either waving or trying to flag them down, but I'm not. I am trying to catch the wind in my fist.
You know what?
It never works, but it's so much fun!!
...and hello mustard :)
Oh, okay. Gotcha. :)
The wind is funny. I used to read that "Have You Seen The Wind" book all of the time. I haven't seen it lately, and it was really good.
Hi Anon.
So, has anyone talked to RW today? I know she didn't have a very good day yesterday.
Aw, trying to catch the wind.
If you don't want people to think you are flagging them down etc, stop winking at them.
Smoke and I rode on the golf cart and took some cool nature pics for you guys to see!!
You will all be able to see what it's like in our little back country world!
*waves to smoke&venom*
No, Smoke, I haven't. I was kinda hoping she'd pop on in a few. This is normally around the time she comes in. She did sound bummed out yesterday, or stressed, or something. Hopefully she'll be around tonight.
Not seen RW today.
Oooooo pics *gets excited*
I am trying to upload the pics and it's being a little bitch. >_<
I realize that when I open up and tell you guys how I spend my time, well, I know it makes me sound like a complete lunatic, but that's just how I am. For real.
And if the Georgia State Patrol new what a distracted driver I am, that would take my license in a heartbeat.
I also had Led Zepp on the radio. I look down and I'm going way too fast and writing poems in my head.
I can't wait to see the pics! And mmmm. blackberries. Wish I had me some of those.
MissT, doesn't the stuff in bath bombs irritate your bits and pieces? I can't use that stuff, the dye and perfume is too harsh. O_o

I am not AG. I am not TLA. I am not their anonymous. I am not Mayo. I am not Eliza. I am not GV. I am not SS.
I am just waiting patiently.
Feeling bold today. Waiting patiently for whom? A him or a her?
Oh dear K, I didn't know you had sensitive bits and peices O_o I'm sure that can be fun in certain situations.
I'm lucky, I can put anything in the bath and it doesn't irritate me.
good morning missT

how are you all?
Hiya Ergo, I'm good thanks. How are you today?
I'll bet your summer is coming to an end soon. Ours is just beginning.
Now my nose itches! Damnit, it's that weird outer space flower we found, isn't it?
I sniffed it and now, stuff has gone up my nose, and it's gonna eat my brain.
Hi Ergo,
How goes it?
Good morning, Ergo!
I can't use those types of things either, bath oils, bubble bath, nothing like that. I have really sensitive skin and that stuff makes me itch and break out. I have to use the non-comedogenic stuff.
Hi Ergo!
LOL, MissT, I am a delicate flower. Most heavy perfumes and dyes and stuff like that mess with my skin. That's partly why I make a lot of my own stuff. The best soap is Kiss My Face; it doesn't have a ton of crap in it and it's relatively cheap. Not to mention it's not tested on animals, and that's the biggest selling point for me.
Solly, didn't your mum ever tell you not to sniff strange flowers?
A boy came home one day with an armchair under each arm and a sofa on his back.
His mum went mad. "what have I told you about accepting suites from strangers".
You and I both, Splash.
Solly, maybe the zombie rat gave you its zombie disease and it is going to your brain?
I sniffed it and now, stuff has gone up my nose, and it's gonna eat my brain.
Nuuuuuu!
I bet if Mayo doesn't live in South Georgia, after he sees these pics, he is gonna wish he lived here.
Yep, it's the best state.
Just statin facts!
Jules,
Nooooooooo! Not the Zombie rat again! You know I woke up this morning and my toe was all tingly feeling like it was asleep!!
What up wit dat?
A'ole! Ka Mokupuni Lo'ihi no ka oi!
Good evening Mayo.
Good evening Everyone.
* respectful nod to Memorial Day *
Hello ladies :)
Solly, it's probably Stage 1 or something. ;)
I love bath stuff! there is pretty much nothing irritates my skin so i'm lucky I have gardenia bathbombs
I'm good also thanks everyone,
and MissT yep we are heading into winter but it's not as cold as last week as it's been a bit cloudy
Mustard and K, if you have sensitive skin, get yourself to Lush.co.uk
All their stuff is vegetarian and very very good for you.
They have all natural stuff. They have this cream called dream cream and people have written to magazines saying it is better for their eczema than medicated stuff.
They all have cool names too like angels on bare skin etc.
Really, check it out. That is the stuff I always buy.
Glad to hear you're doing well, Ergo!
Hey, GS! Nice to see you!
Hey GS!
That's funny, Ergo, yuo guys heading into winter and stuff.
MissT, is their stuff tested on animals though?
Hi Ergo! Hi GS!
These pics are taking forever and ever and ever. >_<
No, it's not tested on animals K. It's really the thing to go for.
Hiya GS sweetie, how are you today?
hi GS how are you?
Lush's Policy
Lush are firmly committed to a policy which not only precludes testing its products and ingredients on animals, or engaging with third-party suppliers to do so on their behalf, but we will also not buy any ingredient from any supplier that tests any of its materials on any animals for any purpose. This policy is unique in its field and is pioneering a new way to stop animal tests for cosmetics.
Lush runs its own Supplier Specific Boycott Policy. There are clear benefits to this policy, which is different and distinct from the Fixed Cut-off Date policy employed by the Humane Cosmetics Standard (Leaping Bunny logo).
Can the ingredients Lush use be tested for other purposes, but still used in cosmetics?
While some other policies only preclude the use of ingredients tested on animals for use in cosmetics, the Lush policy means the company will not do business with any supplier that is engaged in any animal testing for any purpose, be it cosmetics, food, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.
All of Lush’s suppliers have to sign a statement saying that they adhere to this policy, and the statements are resent to suppliers on an annual basis and reiterated and signed for with each purchase order for ingredients. In addition, the entire supply chain is audited by an independent consultant to ensure that suppliers are in compliance with the policy.
Why do Lush not have a Fixed Cut-Off Date like some other companies?
Other policies apply a specific timeframe during or after which a company will not buy ingredients which have been tested on animals, but therefore do not offer a financial incentive for ingredients manufacturers to stop all animal testing because, even if they did, under a fixed cut-off date the manufacturers would still not qualify for any additional business from that company.
The Lush policy actively encourages suppliers to switch from animal to non-animal testing methodologies by enabling them to immediately become eligible to supply the Lush when they stop testing on animals. This policy is like a traditional boycott campaign, in other words, stop doing the thing we object to (testing on animals) and we will call off the boycott (reward you with our business).
If you don't test on animals, how do you make sure your products are safe to use?
Lush feel that not only is the testing of cosmetic products and ingredients on animals unnecessary and unethical, but it is also scientifically unreliable, unable to adequately access the safety or efficiency of a product or ingredient, and may even allow unsafe products onto the market. We prefer to know that our products are safe for the humans that are going to be using them, so all of our products go through a rigorous assessment, and human trials using our panel of volunteer human testers. We prefer to use only natural ingredients with a proven record of safe use, and where we have to use synthetic ingredients we again use only those with a long and proven record of safe use.
Does Lush campaign against animal testing?
Lush encourage and support the development and validation of non-animal testing methodologies and will actively campaign for their use instead of outmoded and cruel animal experiments. Lush have also been actively engaged in trying to stop the use of animals in Europe’s largest animal testing programme, REACH, and to ensure that the EU Cosmetics Directive, which calls for a ban on all animal testing for finished cosmetic products and ingredients by 2009, is fully realised and implemented.
ABOVE: Rowena Interviews Andrew Butler, our new and long time animal activist about Lush's stance on animal testing, along with his personal view.
That sounds great, MissT! I will check it out. I love bathie and showery stuff.
Speaking of, I'm going in the shower now. Catch you guys later. :)
Hello to:
Ergo
Kapunua
Miss T
Mustard
Sdock
Smoke
Is that everyone?
Oh, and Anonymous :)
I'm feeding my doggies! I'll brb!
we have a place called the Body Shop that sounds similar , it's where my gardenia ones are from
See you later K.
I cannot explain enough how much I love Lush.
When shopping on the high street, you smell the shop before you see it.
The staff are so friendly and sometimes the shops have pyjama parties and cool stuff like that.
They have special xmas ranges.
They have a seasonal newspaper that tells you about new products.
If I believed in heaven, it would be one giant Lush shop.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh LUSH, I love you.
Wow. That really does sound fantastic, MissT. That sounds like a company I'd really be into. Thank you for that!
Ergo and Miss T - I'm okay thanks. How are you?
Ergo, the Body Shop was sold to some huge corporation about two years ago. As of then, they buy from companies that do test on animals.
No probs K.
Ergo, we have the body shop too and I love it but Lush is special *looks all gooey eyed*.
See you later solly.
I didn't know that about the body shop.
I'm good thanks GS.
What you been up to with your bank holiday?
5:29 you could be waiting forever
K no they don't they were sold to L'Oreal but their value statements and policies have remained unchanged, they are very adamant about that.
the body shop have the sweetest smelling vanilla oil :)
Hi GS!
I love body shop's strawberry oli.
Miss T - nothing. I've been freezing my bum off at home all day. My heating has packed up.
...and the white musk is really lovely too!
Oh no GS, we just went to Argos to get a new heater today.
Our gas fire went dodgy last year and we can't be arsed to get it replaced yet (what with having to have a specifically corgi registered fitter blah blah blah).
We got an electric heater which is on it's back legs so we went for a new one today.
So much for british summer time.
Are you able to get it fixed soon?
the body shop have the sweetest smelling vanilla oil :)
I wear that! It smells best when you put a few drops in your hand and rub it through your hair.
The children at school used to call me Mrs. Flump ( a marshmallow sweet we get in the UK )
oli = oil typed fast, obviously.
YAY!!!!
I just recieved my parcel from J and L
THANK YOU when you get in!!!!
I now proudly have a Tenessee keyring! and a pac of mini moon pies and some whiskey steak rub!
:)
I love flumps GS.
Try to get as many as you can in your mouth at once while still being able to breathe.
a pac of mini moon pies and some whiskey steak rub!
And these would be?
But L'oreal continues to test their products on animals. So the whole Body Shop thing is a fraud because they are owned by that company. While L'oreal and The Body Shop continue to insist that they are against animal testing, L'Oreal still carries out the practice.
L'Oreal says that they are eventually going to stop testing on animals, but they are not there yet.
5:51, I'm not doing the waiting.
may 26, 1:55 a.m. is waiting for something or someone.
I'm just asking.
^_~
Are you able to get it fixed soon?
This is the latest in a series of plumbing mishaps. The whole system is buggered. Basically, I had the plumber around last Monday to do the regular boiler check, then Tuesday the dining room radiator started pissing everywhere, the guy came round Friday to fit a new rad and the system hasn't worked since.
Luckily I can just ring the landlord and abracadabra it gets fixed.
Abracadabra, I like that.
I wish I could say that then win the lottery.
A bit of Kinks for the waiting anon:

Ooh, c heck it out, I found this quiz: How cruelty free are you? (Just make up a fake name and email address at the end and you will get your score.)
I was only 96%. I thought it would be 100% but I didn't know that Ziplock was bad? O_o WTF, what company own ziplock! i guess I have to find some other way to store my food. Jeez.
Okay, I am seriously, seriously off to take my shower now. Byeeeee!
oh well 5:29 whatever.
It's just strange to do this on a blog. Surely, if they know each other they can contact each other?
Or could it be just someone imagining things? Who knows.
Try to get as many as you can in your mouth at once while still being able to breathe.
I knew my life was missing something!
missT they appear to be a pair of biscuits with white stuff int he centre and coated in chocolate, the rub is a dry spice mix to rub on meat before cooking
(first I've ever seen of moon pies too I'll try one later)
The Waiting Anon is not hurting anyone, right?
LOL GS.
Ergo, you have to tell me what moon pies taste of.
See you later K.
Finall! Damn. I hope I got them labeled right. O_O
