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.

Sweet dreams and peaceful sleep.
Love to YOU Always,

p.s. Did someone hit the rewind button when I wasn't looking?
They might have been quoting a song or poem, 11:16pm.
Night, Solly :)

Linoleum, indeed. :D
Hey all! What's the scoop tonight?
I have no strong feelings for other anons.
oh how cool RW are they having a good time? been to the Ekka?
It's cold down there at the moment
goodnight sdock sweet dreams
Hi, J! :)
hi ergoproxy.
That should be fun?
Hey do you guys call sdock10 'sd' too? I just don't want to get confused here.
What's the Ekka, EP?
I don't think they've done much but sleep so far. They only arrived about 24 hours ago.
Hi RW! Haven't seen you in a while. Painting done yet?
Hey do you guys call sdock10 'sd' too? I just don't want to get confused here.
I call her Solly, but I think other people do call her SD.
:*
sorry, i meant 'that should be fun BC,' Lol I don't know why i put a question mark.
Oh hells, J! I think it's the never-ending project! :S Nope, not done yet. I have my bedroom to do, but I'm still debating over colours.
How are you this evening? How's L?
hello J
Hullo, kiss anon :)
*yawns*
-A
Well you guys can call me by my first name if you want, it's Katherine but I go by Kat or Kath. I just don't want people being all confused.
My connection's slowing down so I'm going to take that as my cue to turn in.
Have a lovely night, all :)
Hey Martha, long time no see! Where've you been?
RW, are you thinking a dark color or a lighter one?
Silence, maybe we should call you "Silence" instead of "SD". Since we have SDock, it might become confusing.
Hello Kiss Anon, who are your kisses for? ;)
Good night resurrected wreck
We have a Katherine too.
I'mma gonna call you Silence.
-A
okay, J.
Hi J, how are you? How's L? Goodnight solly
Goodnight RW, sleep well!
Amy, tired already? Did you survive your sake party?
alright, well I don't mind what you guys call me. As long as it's not similar to somebody else's here.
Goodnight RW!
-A
Goodnight RW. *sighs* I need a ride for tomorrow since it starts early and someone is taking the car so I have to go make a deal with the Devil aka my brother(lol) so I'll be back in a few.
11:26 are you also 10:58?
Silence, can we call you...Walter? (Just kidding.) How about this: what would you like us to call you?
Hey BC! *hugs and kisses* I'm doing pretty well, and L's feeling even better than yesterday. She's had a bit of a fever today, but that's kind of normal with the infection she has. How're you doing? More storms?
hi kath (I'll call you that, we do have silence but she hasn't been around for a long time)
HI J
goodnight RW sweet decorator dreams
Night RW
Hey J
J, of course I did! It was stupid hot today though, so I had a little snooze earlier. I'm still feeling a bit tired now.
=A
Goodnight RW.
J I have been watching anime.
And I think we should call Silence DoGood Kath because we have a silence as well
oh that's good to hear J, glad L is feeling better too
good evening.
10:58 and 11:26 are different.
I was 11:26, that's how I know.
Hey Elena, hey Ergo! Good to see you both.
Elena, I put all my pencils in my pencil case tonight, AND ate my Tootsie Rolls. And the lip gloss tastes really good. I think I'm gonna take it with me on our trip. :D
J tell L I am glad she is doing better
Elena I heard something was going on with one of your daughters I hope she is well
thanks 11:26.
i have always enjoyed a good mystery.
it seems the love anon that posts things, doesnt chat here. lets call them post & dash or post & lurk. P&D or P&L
Lol, J, God, you brought back memories of this ugly old bald guy named Walter who used to date my mom and tried to pick her up again after my parents got divorced, it was horrifying.
Anyways, sorry I didn't mean for the name thing to become a big deal. Just call me silence or kath whatever you want, I don't really care.

Hi TJ
oh I had a MCR pencil at my tutoring at the school and one boy looked at it and said
"Do you like them?" incredulously
and whan I said yes he said "Gammin"
which I don't know if you say over there, but is like "You're kidding"
have to see if he brings it up again.
I may need to use my binder folder too
and I may wear the T.ORO shirt (the others with the skulls and guns wouldn't be appropriate
hello tj
Thanks from L, Ergo and Martha. It's really weird, we tend to have the same illnesses/diseases/mishaps all the time. Now she has diverticulitis too. Oh what joy. :P
Amy, it's hot everywhere. My sister and niece are overseas on vacation; they were just in Paris yesterday. Apparently the French don't believe in air conditioning, and their hotel room was on the 3rd floor, and there was no elevator. My niece said they took a lot of showers!
J, I'm hppy you and L are feeling better. I'm good, I just got home, but now I have to get my camera and other neccessities ready for tomorrow and I have to prepare for negotiations as soon as my bro gets home. Thank goodness we haven't had bad storms for a few days.
Last time it did, there was a tornado nearby, but luckily it didn't hit our area.
hi ergo, hi martha.
that's a great story ergo...keep the kids guessing!
Martha
My daughter is okay. Just a medical problem that isn't serious. They have given her a different medicine and we're hoping it will help.
J glad you liked your stuff!!!!
How cool are YOU, Ergo? :D That kid is probably telling his friends about his hip tutor. I love it!
Ok, Kath/Silence/SD/Ms DoGood, I'll call you Walter. heeheehee No, really, I won't. How're you doing tonight, anyway?
Hey TJ!
Hi TJ
OI!
11:49
what about us???
we have at least 2 I know of
hi there j. :)
hey bc!
Boy, the blog just bit it big time.
yeah, made me feel guilty. :(
What the fuck just happened with blogger?
I am going to watch another movie or something.
Since I never seem to sleep, I might come back later.
See you guys later =)
Have a good night!
What did I miss????
Hah?
What's happened?
-A
I was looking up videos on Youtube.
-A wasn't paying attention at all
Don't think anything really happened, it just all died down at once. Did Blogger do something weird, BC?
GOODNIGHT Silence! Or, maybe, see you later!
Night Silence
I know all about not sleeping!!!
bye silence. enjoy your movie. :)
...
not again.
*facepalm*
did blogger do something?
Teej, is the Typo Fairy stalking you again?
-A
Bye silence. Oh no J, I said that because the timestamp confused me for a minute. Sorry :/
Oh! My dear...Bob?
Goodnight Kath
Do we not all sound like some bad movie?
"Not again..."
"Did I miss something?"
"What happened to ______?"
We're all putting in these random comments and nobody knows what the others are talking about! Too funny.
It's like we all woke up from a nap at the same time.
-A
Anon you had me scared I thought Bob had cut his hair or something. I wonder if that movie is any good
Timestamp, BC?
Bob in a movie?
I gotta find a copy for Fred
not the typo fairy...but i must have eye of newt left on me from my latest spellcasting, or something, because that's twice tonight the blog stalled with my comment as the last one.
i'm feeling a wee bit of the paranoia, that i am.
Bob Bryar, Renaissance Man. So did he actually act in a movie, or was it like a shot during a concert or what?
Teej, I've had that happen before.
"Hey everybody!"
...
"Hey? Everybody?"
...
*shuffles feet*
-A
3100!
-A
Sorry, it's the little things.
:)
-A
a love letter to human frailty
*snort*
well, i'm glad it's not just me, then, amyranth. because, you know, i don't even use eye of newt...
It's the little things that make up one's life, Amy. :)
I've stopped the blog too many times, TJ. I think most of us have at least once. :P
It's a 2003 movie.
Amazon doesn't have it. Damn
That title sounds kind of sketchy, Elena. Is this Bob's illicit porn movie that he made before he broke big in music? ;D
I had no idea they even still MADE Eye of Newt.
I mean, wasn't there an embargo on importation set back in the 1800's?
-A
i must be trying to get my quota in all in one night, j. *heh*
actually, i think the movie looks like it's supposed to be "deep".
Anon, timestamp is the date and the time on the bottom of each comment that's posted. That's what I meant. Sorry about that.
I thought blogger might have done another upgrade :/
Hmmm.. Has anyone ever seen a movie and thought "Man, that was DEEP!"
Aside from "Waterworld" I mean.
-A
well Bob's the acting man!
how talented! Sounds like a deep independent film.
Elena maybe try video rentals stores?
well, see, amyranth, that's what i'm talking about. i'm an ethical witch, you know. i don't use things like that, i only get my belladonna from organic sources, and when i need cat's whiskers, etc. i always make sure they are harvested without harm to the animal.
but eye of newt was the only thing i could think of that would've made you all disappear like that. :/
noxious stuff really. it's all in the processing. *ick*
Fuck. I know what a timestamp is. I didn't get the confused on it part.
I'm searching the Net like crazy for the movie but no luck. You can go to IMDB and read about it
And eye of newt do smell somethin' NASSY. Shoo! Plus you've got the poor newt with no eyes, and that's just wrong. And it costs, like, $50 per dozen or something outrageous like that.
Or so I'm told.
TJ have you seen the new range of tofu based eye of newt?
apparently it's virtually identical to the original
kinda like carob and chocolate
:/
Teej, Eye of Newt is on of those things the Council has been arguing over for YEARS now. Some books recommend it and swear by it. Others suggest running screaming.
I have never needed to use Eye of Newt, as I've never needed anyone to disappear, ever.
Cat's whiskers though, I have a supply of those. :P I seem to find them in my pillow pretty frequently because Hazel likes to sleep there. Ever wake up with a Cat's Whisker stuck in your eye? OW.
-A
Bob movie update
It'a very heavy drama. It was put out on VHS and I can't find a copy anywhere.
Wonder if Bob has a copy he'd loan me?
And I'll be honest, I've never had Carob before. Does it actually pass for chocolate?
-A
Or so I'm told.
uh-huh. suuuuuure.
tofu-based, ergo? huh. well, that would certainly work for most of newt-related spells, but there's that one...
adding soybean anything to that blend, and the chicago fire will look like a weenie roast.
still, for most purposes...a fair substitute.
of course, i pased out all my eye of newt spells long ago. like, back in college. i'm strictly using the incense & incantations range of magic these days. safer, donchaknow.
phased, as it were.
Elena, Bob probably owns the ONLY copy! :D
Just raggin' you, Bobby. I'm sure you did a fantastic job.
But I would advise not quitting your "day" job any time soon. Just in case.
gotta take off....
the evil has returned....
catch you all later
Anon, I thought the timestamp looked a bit different, but maybe it's just me being really tired :/
amyranth, i myself have a nice little envelope stuffed full of cat's whiskers. they add such a nice touch to rituals honoring freya. :)
but you know, not in my eye. nope.
I think I'd see it before I would say he needs to keep his day job.
bye, elena. :)
maybe the cast and crew are the only ones with a copy
I'd love to see him act
(perhaps he has bought them allup so noone sees them)
bye Elena
Goodnight Elena, be brave battling the evil!
*tosses package of batteries for the iPod to Elena*
Here, this may come in handy.
Because YOU NEVER KNOW. :D
Love you!
Bye Elena. Hmm...it did change...
*yawns* oh well

August 10, 2008 1:17 AM
It was a joke.
I'm sure Bob did a fine job, but we all know what an incredible drummer he is. I'd hate to see him give that up for acting, no matter how well he handled the role. See?
The timestamp?
Looks the same to me. When it's 12:00 my time, it'll be 2am on the blog.
...
Unless I'm more blind than I think.
-A
Um, I wasn't talking really to you? I was just saying that is what I would do. I'm not going to pass judgment before I see it. See that?
He might be bad, might be good. If he was good, cool, go for it. But I doubt it with his hate for cameras.
They were all good at it on GOY.
bye elena !
Amy carob is not at all like chocolate, unless you like a sort of brown substitute stuff that shares a vague resemblance to it
Ergo, you should rewrite the dictionary.
Carob: noun
A sort of brown substitute stuff that shares a vague resemblance to chocolate.
See: Yuck
-A
well theone review on imdb said they didn't see a bad actor in it, so he may be a multi faceted fellow

August 10, 2008 1:29 AM
Or you could just say see shit
Yeah, good sound guy, drummer. Actor!
haha amy that is what it should say!
I'm sure there are people who like it, it's not horrible, but is it should never be put up as a chocolate substitute. It wasn't even close to me.
and everytime I hear see or say tofu, or think of food substitutes I see the Far Side cartoon of the lions who accidently brought down a tofudebeest, and they take a bite and are spitting it out
I think I'm gonna call it a night and rest for a bit; I'm so tired and can't think straight. Goodnight everyone.
Sugarplum: tomorrow's the day, and yet, I suck at taking pics, but I'll take some anyway ^_^ I hope you're well and that we'll be able to talk soon *smothers with sloppy sloppy, extra sloppy kisses* Goodnight to you. After the show, I'll write a blog detailing everything. Well, maybe almost everything, heh.
Night night!
Goodnight BC, have a good rest, and good luck tomorrow!
Amy, would you check your email in a minute or two?
good night bc, have a blast tomorrow. :)
personally, the one time i had carob, i thought it tasted kind of chalky. chalky chocolate. :/
goodnight BC sweet dreams
oh I think it is only my monitor, my friend told me how to connect it to my laptop and it does the same thing.
and anon of course Bob would be great as he is just awesome. No more need be said :)
yes TJ I recall it being sort of grainy and not tasting as rich and ....chocolatey.
goodnight bc
There is no point in having chocolate unless it is the real thing.
chocolate is something that should bring joy to your life. Not make you go eww what the hell is this shit.
Tofudebeest
i actually usually try to stay away from substitute anything. there are so many wonderful ways to cook anything, why would you resort to tofurkey??
For redrum
TJ I can see the use of it from a vegetarian/vegan point of view but it's alwyas made to look like meat, and is given meatish names, I think they should think up totally new names, that would be great fun
Tofu can be nice cooked up (especially marinated and asian,)but it's never "like" meat so I don't think it should be named as it
L likes tofu. I've tried to like it, but I cannot for the life of me get past the smell. And then when it's ready, it doesn't resemble meat. Sorry all veggies/vegans, but hey, there's more for you guys. :)
TJ, I know. Like American cheese "product". :PPP
cheese food product. :)
stuff like that cracks me up. so convoluted.
i like tofu, as tofu. i don't like tofu pretending to be other things, i just think that's dumb.
but to each their own, some people really swear by all those things.
J, go look.
-A
If I'm going to eat something besides real meat, i.e., hamburger, chicken, etc, I'll eat peanut butter or cheese (the real kind!). Or eggs maybe. There are some days I don't eat meat per se, at all, but I WILL have one of my substitutes.
there must be a psychological comfort in it
and J american cheese "product" sounds scary
what is it?is it kinda sorta supposed to maybe like kinda resemble you know a bit like cheese?
You know, I have to go with J, sorta.
Mister's cousin and her family eat a lot of tofu, and I had always been curious about it. So once she fried up some blocks of tofu, and invited me to try some. I was really excited until I put it in my mouth and realized that it tasted like nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Even the crisp outer shell didn't taste like anything. I was really disappointed, and kinda grossed out.
Even bean sprouts don't have "flavour" per se, but they taste like something!
-A
Amy, your turn!
j., i'm the same way. there are so many good real foods out there.
i adapted some of my favorite childhood recipes that used ground beef by substituting kidney beans -- it didn't affect the recipe at all, it tasted as good as ever, and i didn't have to resort to some weird concoction.
cheaper, too. :)
Ergo:
Yes.
It also has no flavor, to go along with Amy's tofu. It's also sort of rubbery. (Not to be confused with 'shrubbery', b/c even shrubbery would taste better.)
I like kidney beans quite a bit! Beans in general are good.
And yeah, shrubbery beats rubbery anyday!
-A
So TJ, tell me: do they sell Kidney Bean Helper? :D
Wouldn't that be funny? They'd make all the same flavors as Hamburger Helper, but just be named differently.
*thinking she may be too tired to say anything coherent*
*referring to self*
Cheese product, I can't help but wonder if Cheez-Whiz falls in that category?
*goes to look it up*
Your move, J Punk.
-A
yeah, amyranth, kidney beans for beef, and white beans fr chicken. perfect. :)
j., no, seriously! one can of kidney beans is exactly the right amount to substitute for a pound of hamburger in those things!
but maybe they could rename them, um...legume lift, or bean box dinner, or something...
:)
Amy only time i reallty liked it was marinated adn stir fried, but it had a sauce and all
it doesn't taste like much to me otherwise, then I don't see the point
I once tried to lower cholesterol by using soy bacon and such and it was so depressing. The substitute was worse than not having it at all.
Cheese product, I can't help but wonder if Cheez-Whiz falls in that category?
velveeta does, i'm pretty sure. the most plastic "cheese" in the world.
so not cheese it oughtta be spelled "cheeze"
When I was a kid, my mom had a medical dictionary in the house, and I started reading it. Well, I read about the Kidneys and all the little filters they had inside of them to get the impurities out of your system.
Of course, a few weeks later when we have chili, I'm studying my kidney bean and wondering if it has the same internal makeup.
(It doesn't for those of you who wonder. XD)
-A
I once tried to lower cholesterol by using soy bacon and such and it was so depressing. The substitute was worse than not having it at all.
"So, we're trying to lower our cholesterol, and we've been eating this soy bacon."
"Wow! Is it working?"
"Yeah, no more pills, just lots of exercise and soy bacon for breakfast."
"But, what's this bottle for?"
"Oh! The Effexor? That's for depression."
"Depression? Why?"
"Have you ever tried soy bacon?"
-A
much relieved to know that amyranth. :D
Hi guys
cupcake! hello. how are you? how is your grandfather?
Over the net to the 'Ranth.
TJ I like it: cheeze product. Or cheezy product. :D
And let's see, how about Bean Bonanza? Or Kidney Kuisine? Or Navy Bean Nummy? The list goes on and on.
He's not doing so good TJ. It was a heart attack, with complications.
Cupcake! *hugs and kisses* What's going on with your grandfather? And how are you and your family doing?
kidney kuisine is the winner, j. that is superb. :D
oh cupcake, i'm sorry. that must be so frightening. do the doctors think he's strong enough to recover?
Hey Cuppy.
Are you going to be alright?
-A
Oh CC, that's terrible. Good thing you didn't rely on my and Amy's diagnosis, though. We're not doctors, but we play one on the blog.
(Thank you TJ, it was an epiphany. ;D )
Next move, J.
-A
Well they said that in his condition, it's not likely to get better. I mean there isn't a good chance.
It's been a very strange day. Surreal... like watching some kind of movie. I was quite sure he'd be coming home tomorrow. That's how it always happens, you know?
Good thing you didn't rely on my and Amy's diagnosis, though. We're not doctors, but we play one on the blog.
Yes, my god.
I hope he's going to be alright.
-A
Is he going to come home at some point Cup?
Not unless we have a miracle, Amy. I saw him, he's... not there, you know?
i know, cupcake. all of a sudden your whole world just took an abrupt corner, and nothing feels the same.
have you been able to see your grandfather? talk to him?
hello cupcake
amy that is so true!
I talked TJ, but he can't. Im not sure he knew I was there, but he was calmer when I was there.
Christ Almighty.
Cuppy, I don't know what to say, hon. I really don't.
cupcake, i'm sure he did know you were there. even if he wasn't awake, you were there by him, and i'm sure he felt that.
it's good that you can be by him, and talk to him, whether he can respond or not.
Back atcha, A.
cupcake it may be there is some improvement as days go by, but it's unfortunate it's one of those things that happen when people get old.
Read up on it, waht it means, hat you can do as a carer there are sites that give help for family members
Thank you Ergo. Thank you everyone, really.
Hello CC I am sorry to hear about your Grandfather
ok 2 odd words in that were "what"
It's very likely on some level he did know, cupcake. Calming is a sign the person is responding. It's early days but if you can find out all you can it'll help you understand
I agree with Ergo and Teej, Cuppy. Find out what you can when you're ready, and just be there. That's going to be the most important thing for the both of you.
-A
Cupcake, when I was working as a speech therapist, I often provided therapy to coma patients. You talk to them, you make physical contact with them, you sing, you talk about old times, etc. I did some other things like presenting different textures, smells, tastes, to see if they would respond.
Sounds like Grandpa is kind of in the same situation. Talking to him, holding his hand, reassuring him, all of that is exactly right. The thing is, you don't know if he can hear you--but maybe he can. Assume he can at least recognize your voice, whether he understands your words or not. Guarantee you that even if he isn't fully aware, he's scared, and he needs you to help him be strong.
You can do that, because you're a strong person yourself.
And remember this: Pactum Serva. Its all about the love.
J, feel free.
Why thank you Amy. Yourself as well.
Thank you J.
You guys are amazing.
I should get going, but thank you all. *hugs*
xoxo cupcake
cupcake there is www.strokefoundation.com.au
it's awful it's happened and there is no nice way to say, but it'll be hard, and sad. seeing a person you love change like that is very difficult, I had to with a couple of relatives, and I know many others have too.
But like J said, there is everychance something can get through even if it looks like it isn't.
Be prepared and don't be afraid to talk to people, cry or be angry it's all very normal and natural.
See the hospital about help services, and use them , that's what they are there for, and the people that run them are usually people who have dealt witht the same things, and they are best able to understand how you feel and help with anything that needs be done.
Anytime you want to email me, feel free. I can't help lots but if you want to talk I'm available.
Goodnight Cupcake. Be strong.
-A
You're more than welcome, Cupcake. Like Ergo said, if you want to email me about ANYthing, please feel free. I'll do what I can to answer questions or just listen or lend a shoulder to cry on. Definitely ask questions of the hospital staff regarding his condition, his treatment, any plans for therapy, whatever. They're there to help you.
And so are we.
We love you, sweetheart. Be strong.
e
eep!
I keep losing more letters on my laptop!
and goodnight cupcake sweet dreams, and love to you and your family
Oh wow, I got first place! Who knew?
Cupcake, I'll share top honors with you, honey. :)
