My Grandma used to say "You only get so many words when you're born and once you've used them up...that's it."
She said the same thing about steps too.
"Once they're gone you don't get anymore."
Words and steps, I think she meant that they are the measure of a life.
She was a cool lady.
p.s. and in those last few moments they won't occur to you either.

«Oldest ‹Older 2801 – 3000 of 4595 Newer› Newest»A heart in love with beauty never grows old
The red I have already is a blue-toned one, but the lighter ones I've looked at (and I would want a lighter colour for the bedroom area) in blue-reds are too pink.
Ah well re my monitor issues I just spoke to the laaaady who does the school stuff and she said they have had about 6 monitors failing in the last 2 weeks
so I'm getting a loaner tomorrow to see if that works
This is the colour I have already painted.
Ah now that one, my lovely Anon, is completely true

A heart in love with TRUE beauty never grows old.
Beauty fades
True beauty comes from within.
Ergo - you're having trying times of late.
RW - that's a lovely colour. Is that your place? It looks funky!
Mmm, you have a dilemma on your hands regarding the bedroom paint.
Maybe a blue-green, do you think?
RW, I like that shade of red! Is that your bedroom, or your living room?
-A
The one who loves least controls the relationship.
RW - that's a lovely colour. Is that your place? It looks funky!
Nope, not my place. Just a pic I found when I Googled the colour. But my walls turned out exactly that shade, and I also have white trim.
RW, I like that shade of red! Is that your bedroom, or your living room?
Thanks, A :) My bedroom and living room are the same room. The walls that I painted that colour are in the dining room area & the little "hallway" between that room and the bedroom.
third try!!
blogger hates me :(
hello anon interesting quotes
and RW as long as you stick with a blue based red it'll look good, I think that moss green could be lovely with it
RW - Could do. You seem to have your heart set on red though. Do you have Dulux paint in Canada?
Elena - perhaps the quote could be adjusted to your way of thinking. True beauty is, of course, within :)
I can't decide, EP!!
Dulux paint? Not sure. I've been using Benjamin Moore paint.
Then I'd go with the sage-green you mentioned earlier. It would be more soothing.
And I did my bathroom in blue, white and gold/yellow. It turned out really nice. I even started using sand and seashells to decorate with.
-A
Red was going to be the original colour, GS. Actually, the bedroom area was supposed to be in Raspberry Truffle too, but I ran out of paint, then decided to do it in some other shade.
It's more to do with wanting a change, I think, than in being stuck on a red shade. Right now the walls in my bedroom are already a sagey sort of green.
My bathroom's a write-off as far as redecorating goes, A. I'd have to strip out the tiles. Too much work.
I do like green though. Maybe just a different green would do the trick.
Anon - random quotes or are you trying to tell/learn something?
RW, yeah we had to rip the walls down completely. The bathroom was done from floor to ceiling in chocolate brown tiles. It looked awful, and was really freaking cold on the feet.
We've got lino in there now, and I think I'd rather have the tile! Textured Lino is so hard to scrub!

Ain't that the truth!

Did you see my comment on the last page?
tell
A man is not where he lives but where he loves
I actually quite like the colour sceme in my bathroom, A - blue and white. But you can tell it was just slapped together. I really dislike that. I like things to look professional.
I'd also really like to get rid of the awful scratched up dirty white linoleum in my kitchen. But again, that's more work/expense than I'm willing to put into a rental place.
I don't want to make my place too pinky-girlie, so I think I'll probably end up going with green.
RW - if you do have Dulux they have a nice shade called Raspberry Diva that would blend quite nicely.
Other than that perhaps a blue/green as you suggested. The mossy green may be too cool against such a rich colour.
Ergo - I feel your pain. Blogger can be a pre-menstrual witch with bad shoes at times.
Amy - belated hello :)
RW
How large is the kitchen? Some of the flooring that comes in squares and could be put down over the exsisting floor isn't too expensive.

True. Just hope his love is returned at that address.
Okay, I'm gonna stop now. Just realized I sound sorta cranky. Sorry.
oh I did miss it elena
I'm so glad it got there ok *phew*
I saw the spider and knew it was for you, a local makes them.
All teh stuff is by local people
I thought the pumpkin was cool, so you can have a bit of Oz in your halloween :)
I couldn't tell you the exact measurement, Elena, but it's a fair sized kitchen for a relatively small apartment. If I end up staying here long-term, perhaps I'll look into putting new flooring down.
Okay, I'm gonna stop now. Just realized I sound sorta cranky. Sorry.
Elena - :\ You okay? I could have probably responded exactly the same to all of those. I just don't tend to.
Oooo! That's a pretty colour, GS. Though somewhat pinker than I'd like.
Hallo GS!
And now that you've reminded me, a belated Hello to Everyone!
-A
True. Just hope his love is returned at that address.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
RW just to add to your choice, have you comnsidered doing it like a false chair rail, a deeper colour below and lighter above?
you could do the deep red at the bottom then a really rich cream colour above?
RW just to add to your choice, have you comnsidered doing it like a false chair rail, a deeper colour below and lighter above?
I have, EP. And that is a definitely possibility. I may even do the lower colour a tone-on-tone stripe.
I don't know about the cream colour, EP. I have white trim in that room that I'd like to keep. If I did a cream, it would barely be noticable.
hello AMy!
feeling less sake affected today?
OOh RW that always looks nice, very simple but rich
I think about you in every moment and every image of you hurts me horribly. I want to feel every thought, every whisper you say in the deep silence of the eternity of your soul. To be able to cry beside you, you in me, to be able to understand why our hearts beat, why we live among moments and not among eternities. H
Hey Amy
I'm okay, GS
Just a bit stressed at the moment. That's nothing new.
Linoleum.
Linoleum?
Huh?
RW I was thinking even more into a very pale brown
I am going to do my workout now then I have to go buy chicken feed as we ahve none, and we are going to visit hubby for lunch as he's working today
so I'll be back a lot later, have a good day/night and i'll see anyone still around later
♥xx♥
^ What they said.
Hi Guys,
How is everyone today? I got just about all my stuff moved and I get just one more night here.
Hallo Ergo and Elena!
Not sake affected at all. I woke up with barely a hangover. Can't say the same for everyone else though!
-A
Floor covering?
Have fun, EP :)
Hi, Solly! :)
You sound bizzy!
Parquet flooring.
Mmm...
I was, RW. But not anymore, I'm done for the night. Now I iz munching on carrots.
Carrots?
Not ice cream?
Sorry, double-posted >.<
Nah, not ice cream. Just boring ol carrots. Soaking up some a/c. Trying to figure out what's for supper, ya know?
What you been doing?
Is your headache better?
Hallo Solly!
One more night? Will you have internet at your new place?
-A
Hey sdock
Amy I was surprised I didn't wake up with a hangover. Last night I tried Jager Bombs.
It does taste like Chicklet gum.
Hi Amy,
How are ya?
Yeah, I will. I realized after I posted that comment I made it sound like I had one night left here, here...like BlogBelieve, but I just meant in this house.
Oooo! That's a pretty colour, GS. Though somewhat pinker than I'd like.
It comes out less pink on paper. But I must say I think your's and Ergo's ideas are better :)
Just a bit stressed at the moment.
Sorry to hear that :\
Oooh Jager Bombs. *wrinkles her nose*
I've never had them because I can't get over the fact that Red Bull tastes the way cat piss smells.
Hi Sdock :) I left you a message on the porch earlier.
RW - parquet eez nice :)
Hi Elena, Hi GS!
How are ya'll?
What you been doing?
Is your headache better?
My headache has been off and on all week because of the thunderstorms. But it feels better right now.
GS, I think lately I have been channeling an interior designer!
Solly - we are all in a decorating mood. Well me, Amy, Ergo and RW are :)
How does your new place look Solly?
(I almost typed Silly)
-A
GS,
I saw your note and I left you one on the porch and at your place. Thank you so much for everything.
Amy,
My new place looks a lot like my old place....meaning, I will be staying with my Mama for a bit. Pray for me.
RW,
My headache is better than yesterday, but still there.
GS, I think lately I have been channeling an interior designer!
So now the challenge is to do the ideas for less than $50! That is always the problem in our house. Great ideas, no cash.
RW,
My headache is better than yesterday, but still there.
I forgot about your headache, Solly, I'm sorry :( Do you get air pressure migraines too, or do you think it's stress-related?
So now the challenge is to do the ideas for less than $50!
Lol! Not a chance! The curtain fabric for my Black Parade wall alone was more than that!
Oh hey, if I do my bedroom in green then I can have burgundy curtains!
RW,
I really think it's the weather thing. I never knew about the pressure thing until you told me about it.
*gasps dramatically*
Poor child! What should we do about you now?
*clucks her tongue*
Actually I was home on vacation last year, and spending a week with Mom and Dad was kinda hellish.
Dad wouldn't let me wear any of the clothes I brought. All tanktops and such, and he'd freak!
"And where do you think YOU'RE going in THAT, Little Girl?"
*sighs*
Meanwhile Mom's like "Do the dishes. There's laundry upstairs, put a load in. Can you run to the store and get me smokes?"
It was like I'd never left. Next time, I stay in a hotel.
-A
I only started noticing the correlation myself a couple of years ago, Solly.
So, apparently, according to VH1, Marky Mark was the hottest hottie of the 90's.
Hmmm....
*ponders*
does anyone feel like singin' or dancin'?
My mom's exactly the opposite when I visit, A. She won't let me lift a finger. She even tries to fix my meals. It's a far cry from how things were when I was growing up!
8:03pm:
What do you have in mind?
Marky Mark?? Not a chance!
Yes, Amy, I know. It's going to be *sigh* a struggle. But I'm really really luck to be able to go back there. My family is crazy but they're great.
Still...
PRAY FOR ME!
anything really. I feel like I'm going slightly crazy and need some relief.
Solly - * hugs * I've replied.
Anon - YES PLEASE!
Anon,
Start us off. Do you wanna sing or dance or both?
if it's a good song I'II dance to it, but I'm warning you my dancing kinda sucks :)
Have a boogie Anon
*BEEP* WRONG!
Marky Mark wasn't really that hot. What about Jonathan Brandis, or Leonardo Dicaprio?
-A
That was fun, GS!
8:09, like Carlton Suck, or Elaine Suck?
-A
That was fun, GS!
We hadz them on earlier. Me and R tried to do the high pitched scream and failed miserably :D
How about this
Leonardo DiCaprio was pretty hot in the 90's, for sure.
RW, I find he's getting better with age too.
Although Young Leo is pretty hot. At the time he was still a good six years older than me though!
-A
A bit of Europop for you
RW - glory, that took me back :D
GS, I could never tell if Ya Kid K was a girl or a boy. Had me stumped all through the 90s.
Turns out she's a girl.
interesting choices. Thank you, looks like I'm going to funkytown now ;)
amyranth, I'm not a good judge of my dancin', I prefer the cheek to cheek variety
I've never heard of Alphabeat, GS.
We're sharing the dance songs of our youth with you, 8:21 ;) They may be a bit moldy now, but hey!
There ya go Anon!
Another one to shake yo bootay to
RW - no. They're fairly recent but incredibly catchy :)
This was a personal fave
The song I mean, not the video.
Good choice at 8:25pm, GS!
RW - oh yeah! Get your whistles out! Big box, little box, whoop, whoop!
Takin' it way back to the 20s
umm, their shakin' puts me to shame
have you ever had a really crappy song stuck in your head for days?
Oh gods, yes!
RW - ta! I don't remember your one at 8.28 :\
P.S Where is everyone? Did we scare them off?
I know most of the line dance to ths one!
This is a classic to do at karaoke. Unless you're Spanish.
thanks for all the great songs :) I'm going to have an early night.
have a good evening everyone
Have a good night, 8:45pm :)
Keep dancin'!
Heaven, I'm in heaven
and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
I just got an incredible urge to listen to the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack.
Good night Anon. Dance in your dreams:)
And I seem to find the hapiness I seek
RW - go for it.
Happiness
For crying out loud.
Am Velvet Goldmining as we speak ^_^
Oh, I love to climb a mountain,
And to reach the highest peak,
But it doesn't thrill me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek.
RW - ^_^
Anon - so, Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly?
Great song, great costumes, great vid!
i would have to go with gene kelly.
you are so beautiful...to me
:*
i like the way he sings in the rain
RW - great song. I'm not that familiar with Velvet Goldmine. Having JRM in the vid is the icing on the cake * swoon *
Anon - re: Gene Kelly. Why? :)
And Ewan McGregor at the beginning of the vid, GS!
:*
Ermintrude?
Velvet Goldmine is one of my fave films.
And Ewan McGregor at the beginning of the vid, GS!
Wha!? I missed that!
Talking of JRM and costumes; have you seen the BBC production The Tudors? OH. MY. GOD.
Ewan McGregor was in the faun costume at the very beginning of the vid.
I haven't seen The Tudors, but I've certainly heard about it!
I haven't seen The Tudors, but I've certainly heard about it!
It's reputation precedes it I see ;) Very, uh, bodice ripping! JRM in period costume is a sight for sore eyes.
Oh gods, I'd forgotten how much I love this album!
*blissing out*
It's reputation precedes it I see ;) Very, uh, bodice ripping! JRM in period costume is a sight for sore eyes.
Indeed, GS! I loved him in Gormenghast.
Mayo,
I hope you're doing okay tonight, and I hope tomorrow is even better.
Talk to you later. :) Goodnight.
SS,
I hope you didn't have to invest in hearing aids! ;) Just wanted you to know we miss seeing you around here. I hope everything's okay.
Goodnight, dude.
I don't know Gormenghast I'm afraid. I shall have to address that I see.
OH! You MUST see Gormenghast, GS!!
Pic of JRM in Gormenghast
RW - oh my!
Unfortunately my bed calls.
Good night Mustard.
Good night RW.
Good night Mayo.
TTFN
Have a lovely night, GS :)

Hi, SD :)

Up to anything this weekend?

And i don't listen to a word they say
I'm gonna love you any old way
What can i do? it's true. can't help myself
'cause baby, it's you
baby, it's you
I've been housebound most of the day due to rainstorms :/
that sucks :(
Sorry posted at the wrong blog.
Hi, MJ :)
It's supposed to thunderstorm all day tomorrow too, SD, so there goes my weekend :(
Hello RW.
I killed the blog
I'z still here ^_^
Hey Martha good to see you!
Good to hear rw.
Sorry!
I went to go check on Mister, and he was snoozin. So I snoozed with him for a bit.
-A checked the weather and it's 32 degrees celcius outside.
Hello Elena good to see you to
Hi, A :)
That's warm!
Hi, Elena :)
hello amy
*secretly adds weather checker to the list of Amyranth's jobs*
RW, it's enough to set a jar of hot air on fire!
Or at least it feels that way.
The wind picked up though and it's finally starting to cool off.
-A
We had a thunderstorm, A. Again. And another one is forecast for tomorrow.
:D
-A
RW, they're saying we're supposed to get a ripsnorter tonight, but it's just not coming fast enough.
This heat keeps up and I'm going to be pissing straight Iced Tea.
-a
You should see all the water that's collected in my dehumidifier already, A. I've only had it four days and I only put it on for about 4 hours a day, and already I've emptied it 3 times.
To think, I used to breath all that in! :S
This heat keeps up and I'm going to be pissing straight Iced Tea.

O_O
Hello again Amy and RW
It's pretty nice here. Right now it's about 68 degrees.
MJ, it's drier than a fart in the desert right now.
I'd kill for a humidifier at the moment.
RW, dehumidifiers really make you question air quality, don't they?
-A
MJ, it's drier than a fart in the desert right now.
lol ewww
*hollers*
I got MJ to laugh at a fart joke!!
-A
RW, dehumidifiers really make you question air quality, don't they?
They do, A. and the mold that had been forming on my leather footwear before I got the thing makes me wonder exactly what it is I've been inhaling in here.
Night and day you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and sun
Whether near me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you
Night and day
Day and night
What?!
RW, I'd ask the landlady to hire Air Quality control from the city if I were you! You really don't know what you could be inhaling!
We knew in CB what it was. Salt. Lots of salt. :P
=A
10:58 who is that for?
Cole Porter FTW!
I'm not too worried about it, A. There were people here last year inspecting the pipes and such up in my ceiling and didn't find anything unusual. It's just the extra humidity that was eating my boots.
Haha, BC answers RW's question an hour and a half later and says:
I'm going pretty ok RW. Sorry for my absence. I went to go pick up something to eat. I was out most of the day. Tomorrow I'm heading out for a concert. How are you? *squeeze*
Hi amy, silence, elena, mj
I think about you
darlin' your the only one
Oooo! A concert? That sounds lovely :)
I'm well, thank you, but I really wish the weather were better. We've had a totally miserable summer this year :/
Could you think to yourself?
I'm sorry to hear that RW. I'm glad you're well :)
Hi everyone :]
