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.

Back again.
Ugh, not the best supper I've ever made, but edible. Sorta.

From buzznet.
MmmmFrank
Nice!
This must be a new pic.
Good night Miss T. Sleep well.
Hiya Amy
Hallo MissT and RW!
Maybe next time, one less can of paste, and even less rotini...
-A is eating really gummy pasta.
8.59
well done for being able to type, now can you go and type something useful?
and 8.51
reread the whoel conv and copy and paste all of that, then maybe you can burn along with the moths?
hello everyone.
Gummy pasta = icky! >_<
*tackles Fimmy*
8:59, do you have short term memory loss, 'cause you've posted this a couple of times now.
Hallo GS!
-A
Hiya Fim. Nice to ' see ' you.
Mayo's been burning Kapu since early on anon at 8:51. I neve rgot why people said e liked her in the first place.
RW, is it ever! I like baked pasta, but I can't quite master it just yet.
-A

Is there some point to this? Or is this just a case of ' because I can '?
now we know what mayo thinks of k
"I feel bad for anyone who has that much time to waste."
"Sad, really..."
9:14, the same could be said of you.
Time to turn in.
Have a good night :)
sorry i do not live off a blog
And yet, here you are wasting your time...
But you clearly have enough time to go back to entries that I don't even remember to find the things I've said. Or maybe you've just kept track all along? Yowza. In a way though, I'm flattered. It says a lot that you pay so much attention, anon. ^_^
A princess ice cube tray? YAY! Thank you GS & MissT! ^_^
Hello everyone!
Same here.
Good night RW, sleep well.
Good night All.
Good night Mayo.
TTFN
P.S. SS - we hope you like your underpants :)
Kung Fu tonight was, lalala, a lot of trapping. Well, we started with chin na, which was a pretty cool choking drill with arm bars and knee strikes, then in black belt we did trapping and trapping and more trapping.
Which is cool, I get why we do the repetition. Maybe someday it will be second nature to me.
I have a fantastic idea for the people I train with. I sort of threw it out to the ethers a few days ago and I'm really hoping that it works out. ^_^
Gotta take dogs out, back in a bit!
And incidentally, anon, I don't see you going back looking for all the times that other people said the same thing, or folks waiting up all hours to see if Mayo will post, huh? Just me? ^_^
Later!
no one is falling for your act but trying is always good
can i just ask why?
Why pick on jules all the time?
goodnight gs and rw, sweet dreams and have a lovely tuesday.
hey again everyone. GS, thank you for the congrats :)
A better question.
Why harass anyone at anytime?
Goodnight GS, RW, sweet dreams
FIm, I'm awfully sorry about your Grandad.
Cheers Jules. Shit happens and its life.
Anyhoots, what is this fantastic idea with your training brothers and sisters? Are you making another video? :)
Solly,
Don't let it bother ya. Oh, and like, don't sell my property. LOL!
Kapunua,
Same to you. I know it doesn't bother you but still wanted to tell you that I hope you know I'm here and I've got your back. ^_^
Fim,
I meant to tell you that I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. My husband's grandfather suffered from dementia and it's a very difficult thing to witness.
Love ya.
MUSSSSSSSSTTTTTTAAAARRRRDDD!!!!
I missed you today! :(
And I think we need some more unicorn around here. Just a thought. ^_~
Mayo,
So, like, yeah. I was thinking about my grandmothers after reading your post and I had to laugh just a little bit. On one side, I have a very down to earth grandmother. A real straight shooter. She won't bullshit you for a second. Then my other grandmother, who passed away seven years ago, was your full blown drama queen. She never went anywhere without every hair in place and the prettiest dresses. She would stop traffic. Full of drama. Why am I telling you all this? Guess you can see where I get some of my traits from, huh? ^_~ Hahaha, no. I just got to thinking about them. That's all. Grandmothers are funny, yeah? Hope you have a good night.
SS,
Still missing you. Hope you're doing okay. We're gonna break out the walkie-talkies if you don't hurry up and come back. ^_^
Night BlogBelieve!
It sure does, Fim, but that doesn't make it any easier. I'm sorry.
Oh, my fantastic idea is this: TO get everyone together for an epic photo shoot. The entire academy if possible. Then we go someplace outdoors (probably my yard, which is green and lush) and do a portrait for everyone, group photos, smaller group photos, and what I'm thinking of as "group dynamic photos." Like for instance, there is a group dynamic when the elder students are training with the younger students. Then after the first hour, the younger students leave and just the elder students train in a black belt class. The dynamic shifts then. So I'd like to take some pictures of the different groups.
What I would love to do is try to get everyone chilled out and unselfconscious enough to be like how we are in class.
Then at the end of it, I have hundreds of photos and I make an album for the whole school, and everyone gets their favorite portrait.
Doesn't that sound neat?
I know you do, Princess; you always do. ^_^ And I appreciate it more than you know, and more than I say, probably. That goes for all of you who always have a nice word to say to me, and who always shout down people who are being nasty little beasties to me. ♥
do you have nothing else to say k? all right
every one besides your group of friends agrees with mayo anyway
if it makes you feel better pretend he never said it
BlogBelieve,
G'nite, sweet dreams!
Smoke,
Thanks, and you know I'd never sell your property. *Wink, wink*
And I also agree...MORE UNICORN PLEASE!
Mustard,
OMG, I seriously feel like I am missing my arm or something. I can't decide though if it's my left arm or right arm. Yeah, typical me. Hurry back soon!
SS,
One word....krcchhhhhttt!
Wait, that's not a word. That's a sound effect!
Anyways, I think you get what I mean.
Miss you, my friend.

Kapunua I know you had a hard time here lately and I am not one of those anons who is here to give you a hard time. I'm sorry if it looks that way but I swear and promise I'm not. I think what happened was god fucking awful. I'm here to tell you that I am glad you're not doing your good night anymore. Please don't take that the wrong way. After what happened on here and after all the months you stuck by Mayo and gave him good wishes...... when it came time where all he had to do was say what someone asked him to say, that he didn't HATE you, that he didn't APPROVE of what happened to you.....he didn't. Four words. "I don't hate her". Then they would stop saying it. Six words. "That shouldn't have happened to you". That's all it would take.
But instead he took the pussy way out and said some stupid shit like "I don't like hateful speech and the anons were alarming". He didn't even have the balls to say your fucking name, not once.
I lurked for a long time here and I watched you and the rest of the ladies here offer your friendship. I see from the outside how he fixates on one of you at a time and then shoves you to the side and never talks to you again. Bleeding Chaos. You. Elena. I read Elena's good nights and I see her begging him for contact too. "I know you don't listen to me anymore Mayo". "I'm just babbling so just ignore me like I know you're going to".
Mayo said the bullshit that he doesn't have time to spend with you. Who needs to spend time. A few precious words that you all hang on is all he had to do.
What went on here in the last few weeks has been a huge pile of shit and Mayo never had the balls to say "that was wrong", why, probably because he knows that it would piss off other people if he stood up for Kapunua. He is a coward and a pussy, too scared to say what he really feels. That's why he wrote it about EVERYbody. He said he would fight for each of you. BUT HE DOESN'T.
Kapuna you used to say a sweet and loving good night to Mayo every night. Your wishes for him to have good dreams fell on deaf ears. When it came his turn to give something back to you which he EASILY could have, just a few simple words like "anons, leave her alone, I don't want her to leave like you all say I do" he couldn't even spare A FEW WORDS FOR YOU. After all of the words you gave him. All he has for you is "I know you all can take care of yourselves". Bullshit, FRIENDS lend a helping hand. Even if there is nothing they can do, they can talk to you. But Mayo can't even do that. SS does. Mayo doesn't bother.
I am personally sorry that you lost your job over this. I am personally sorry that people called you ugly names over and over and over..... and over again. It has nothing to do with me BUT I AM STILL SORRY. Because I am a human. I don't think you deserved it at all. That's all Mayo had to say. I know my words probably don't hold as much weight as his but I still want you to hear them..... All of you.
K I do agree with the nasty evil anons about one thing. Mayo does not like you. You don't mean tha tmuch to him. But I hope someday you mean something to someone who deserves your good nights.
Excuse me anon -
Leave me the hell out of whatever it is you want to say. I can't think of once when I've said ""I know you don't listen to me anymore Mayo". Fuck, gotta tell you I was surprised to find out he ever did. And if you've paid attention I've said all along that I like to write my goodnight because it lets me put my feelings down in writing. If he reads it or not doesn't matter. I have said that if I was him I wouldn't because I "ramble". So whatever the point is you're trying to make please leave me out of it. Oh and stop reading my goodnights if they bother you.
Yeah Elena is having a bad day and this kinda shit ain't helping.
Goodnight smoke, solly, sweet dreams.
10:05,
Uh, how many times are you gonna post
that?
I just got a phone call from someone saying that I won a free in-home spa treatment, and I don't remember entering any contest.

OPJ sign in!
Anon at 10:08 maybe you are jealous because no one posts a good night to you...so here it goes....GOODNIGHT!!
Mayo,
Yeah, so like Smoke said, your post also got me to thinking about my Grandmas, and she described them both perfectly in her comment. I feel so lucky to still have one of them around. I don't think we realize how special they are and how much of an impact they have on our lives until we lose them. Unconditional love, absofuckinglutely, but it's a different kind of love than the love you get from your parents. And when I lost one of my Grandmothers, I was hit with that fact. The realization that I had lost someone who would have loved me no matter how many times I fucked up. No matter how bad it was, she would have said, "Baby, it's okay."
You would think this would make me wake up and not take for granted the time I have left with my other Grandma, but it doesn't. I just think she will always be there. She would probably laugh at the silliness of "blogging". Yeah, I know she would.
Words and steps, I think she meant that they are the measure of a life.
Thanks for that. Thanks for reminding me that I have lots of words left unspoken and lots of steps to take. I'm sure I will fall my ass down those stairs at least a couple more times, but who wants to reach the top anways?
Thanks for reminding me that what I'm leaving behind here at this house, doesn't mean shit and it wouldn't mean shit if I died tomorrow. All that matters is the people I will leave behind and how I've made those people feel and I hope I've made at least one person feel a little less alone. All the other stuff is just meaningless clutter...a distraction.
I'm sorry again for all the stuff that keeps following me here and thank you for all that you continue to do.
Love to YOU Always,
S

Hi amy. It sounds like a scam to me.
Hey BC, yeah, I'm a little wary myself. It IS an actual company, but I need to know if they do this sort of thing often.
-A
10:08
I'm not sure whether to say thank you for caring about that, but I guess there's no need because I don't hold an interest in saying goodnight to mayo anymore. I stopped caring a long time ago.
I have more pressing concerns. It's storming so bad outside that my power went out a couple of times, and I'm here home alone, downstairs, equipped with two flashlights and my phone sitting next to me, waiting for the fucking storm to end.
I am in and out here, and I've not remotely caught up -but nothing but love for Everyone!!
Elena, we love you exactly for who you are -even if you aren't sure who that is! I think we all have a pretty good idea, and I personally feel that that is enough to love you mad! ;)
And Kapu, I don't know the big ta do that has gone down, but your a warrior cuss whom we all respect -Brush it off yo! It ain't worth it! ;p We love ya!!
I just wanted to say to Mayo, I am quite the dick to you sometimes, but I say what I do cuz I feel that I need too. It's a kind of affection, ya know? ;p But I just wanted to say -with this post today, you made My broke ass feel so rich. Thanks for this. It's really easy to forget what is most important when all the walls are pushing in. So thanks for the reminder. -And don't take so long next time. You freaked us out. That couldn't have been just me? And I think I get you're '.' feeling. (I could be projecting though. So to each his own.) Anyway, thanks. It's weird how something so simple can make you feel so -complex.
I hope everyone is doing good. -loves
Dammit, that was long. So sorry!
Hey Lewis
Good to see you. Thanks!
Amy, if you're interested in the giveaway, you should check it out and see if it's legit
Hi elena, lewis
Hey BC and Amy
How are you guys tonight?
Hey Elena.
Fuckin' exhausted, how about you?
-A
I'm good Elena, waiting for the storms to stop, and then I have to go look for my rabbit. Are you ok?
Hello All. Just got back from being with the child. She is a great person. We are getting new cell phones!! Whoo~Hoo! About damn time too. Mine is so old. It does have a pic of Gerard carrying the casket from the vid Helena which I love. Wonders if I can I transfer that pic? hmm..
Haven't caught up yet fully. I see the new post. Very true.
Mayo new post!! Freaky thing is I was going to post a song that made a reference to what was said last night but I didn't. In essence, you cant take it with you when you go type of thing.
If you think that Mayo's grandma was wise in what she said because it's true. I had no grandparents growing up. Dont know what that feels like. Be grateful you know Mayo. To have experienced someone who cared about you prehaps even beyond words. Sometimes words are all we have. Use them wisely. Be grateful for words of wisdom that were given,no gifted to you.
I had words shouted and yelled at me, not many were gifted.
I had my Dad, he had wise words for me. Thank God for him, wise man, or I may not be here now. Yada,yada,yada.
You know, no one cares about the material posessions you had, owned or how large your TV was.They may fight about it after you are gone. By then, who cares?
It is how you TREAT(ed) people that counts. Remember that.
We all need to keep that in mind. That is whats remembered when we go. What type of person was he/she.
Words have always meant a great deal to me. Words can hurt and heal. We need to remeber what we say or neglect to say.
Elena. I hope your daughter is ok. Have you had any answers yet?
It is hard to see sick children and yet you cant cry in front of them they would only feel worse.
I may have a hard exterior at times, not that hard. I cry for them from reading snippets of what you wrote and seeing things on the news.
Sorry, I havent fully caught up yet.
Amy, glanced at the wedding comments breifly and well, wow.
I bet you were dazzling and beautious!
Miranth, I am glad you were able to use your sixth sense again. At times it may go astray but never really leaves us completely. IMO. I think we don't pay enough attention to out inner voice at times and we need to reconnect with it again thats all. Your kind words meant alot to me the other evening. I thank you.
BC! Hello, Hope your weekend was great!
Ep! where is you at?
Nasty anons, please stop and try to listen at times.
Sdock, hope you are ok with everything. It DOES matter how we make people feel. If they make us laugh, a kind word even a Hello can make a person's day.
OP J, hope you are well and L/Emerald is feeling much better now.
Hope everyone has a good evening.
Later.
anonymous 10.08
Since we're telling Mayonaise what to say now. How about these
Six words.
"That shouldn't have happened to anyone".
Didn't he say that already? I think he did. Why do you keep asking him to single out one or two? What about the others that have been attacked and harassed? Don't they matter?
It should not happen to anyone.
Amy, glanced at the wedding comments breifly and well, wow.
I bet you were dazzling and beautious!
If by "dazzling" and "beautious" you mean "drunk" and "staggering on the dancefloor" you, my good friend, are indeed correct.
-A
am NOT OPJ. I lways feel bad for Kapu the way Mayo treats her.
BC please notice that I was not talking to you, but to Kapu.
Why oh why must you give the rest of the anonymous here a bad name?
Hi B, bye B.
The storm has slowed down, and I finally found my rabbit. She was hiding under my bed
Then please don't mention my name anon. Thank you.
i wonder if Mayo uses pads or tampons for his period
I am talking to Bleeding Chaos.
A ♥ and a ☺ for her.
Um...eww. Thank you for that.
Haha 11.35, aww thanks for the hearts anon

the url for mayo's new entry is "your obituary won't mention you have html"
that amuses me.
and hello.
Aww it's so cute ^_^
Hi TJ :)
hey there bc, congrats on getting accepted at your school! good job!
My obituary definitely won't mention that I have HTML.
Hiya Teej!

hey there amyranth. :)
Thanks TJ ^_^
Well, I think I'm going to go, exhaustion has tipped the scales for me tonight.
But, to the rest of the Lovelies, that are staying up to have fun and chat, enjoy your evening, I'll probably be back to see you later!
Goodnight Lovelies and SS!
*looks under some shrubbery*
-A
i'm excited for you bc. :)
yesterday, i had a sudden notion to draw a map. i like maps, and i suddenly wanted to draw one. i have no idea what the place it depicts is called, although i already know a couple of pieces of trivia about the towns on it, so maybe i'll need to write some stories about it someday.
which is so bass-akwards it makes me grin. :)
my map of somewhere.
good night amyranth. ;)
I'm back!!!!
Mayonaise,
When we were driving home from the wedding, I caught sight of one of the best-known star clusters in Astronomy, The Pleiades.
With so little light, the bluish-white cloud that surrounds them was easier to catch than it is in the city. The Seven Sisters themselves were harder to see. I caught 3 of the 7 with my naked eye. However, I later found out that there is 9 named stars in the cluster, and many more stars that are not easily picked out.
Sometimes, what you see with your naked eye isn't always what's there. The brighter you shine, the more you miss.
Mayonaise, I hope you always look around the shine that attracts you. Remember, the most brilliant diamond still has to be cleft from a core of kimberlite.
-A
*starts shit with K*
*bitches at anons who bring up her name*
*toothy grin*
goodnight Amy sweet dreams and lovely stargazing
TJ love the map!
and I now have a swivelly rolly office chair
(2nd hand for $5)
Goodnight Amy. Thanks TJ :)
hellooooo ergo!
good bargain there. you're really good at that aren't you? :)
and thanks! i finally had a chance to use my new watercolors with that map.
bargain hunting is my forté
I should have a badge or something seriously
I also got a black and white striped sundress a pair of red leather and a pair of black leather shoes for $16
Hi Ergo
Oh great, more fucking thunderstorms *sighs*
poor bc. :(
ergo, i think i know one thing we're going to have to do when i make my visit...
i want to make you my shopping guru. ♥
I will gladly have you as my student young grasshopper :)
hi BC seems to be bad over there at the moment
Evening everyone!
Amy, I really like your goodnight. And I LOVE the wedding story! It's terrible that there was such a commotion and some people got bent out of shape, but really, doesn't SOMEONE always? Hope to talk with you tomorrow!
BC, CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so proud of you! When do you start? And is Chocolate Bunny alright? Rabbits don't seem to care for storms...neither Pinkle nor Logan do.
Ergo, you are officially the Queen of Bargain Shopping! Good on ya, Sheila! ;)
Smoochy Anons: SMOOCH AWAY! We all need more love!
Mayo: good on you, too, my friend. Very good indeed. :)
hi j. :)
Unfortunately it is Ergo. The alarm just went off a few minutes ago. Again. We been dealing with storms all evening, and frankly, they're starting to annoy me :/
I'm back downstairs yet again. Grr
*neither Pinkle nor Logan DOES*
sorry 'bout that, I was talking and typing at the same time
hello J how are you? and hows L today?
and WENDY!!!!!!!!
I got your parcel!!!!! THANK YOU
*BIGG SMOOOOOOCH*
I now officially have genuine Mardi Gras beads :)
Hi TJ, hi Ergo!
L's kind of seesawing between "fairly good" and "I don't ever want to eat again." She's been more adventurous today with her eating, but NOT more successful. :(
Poor thing. She can't seem to shake this bug. Even potatoes are bothering her.
and you didn't even have to lift your shirt once, ergo.
...or, did you?
no! no, i don't want to know! >.<
j., i'm sorry to hear that l. is struggling with that bug. hope she can beat it soon.
poor L can she take acidopholis? in yoghurt or as capsules?
or the Yakult little probiotic drinks
TJ I showed hubby and that was the first thing he said!!
Hi J, thank you!! I start next month. I'm gonna try to find an apartment this weekend, if possible. My damn rabbit was hiding under my bed the entire time it was storming.
I just found her an hour ago
Yeah, TJ, we do too. Thanks.
I'm sure Ergo has mad bargaining skillz that she uses (with great results, too) when she shops. :D
I hope L gets better soon, J *hugs*
Aw come on, BC, don't be too hard on the baby. She's just little, she didn't know what it was. Are you taking her when you move out, or is she the "family" rabbit?
TJ I showed hubby and that was the first thing he said!!
lol, i hope you spun him a wild tale of your blog adventures and how you managed to snag those beads...
*hehehehe*
Oh, and Ergo, L can't have any true milk products unless the milk content itself is negligible (did I spell that right?). Only soy milk/yogurt/etc for her. If you have any other suggestions, we'll take 'em! She's tired of it.
And I keep hoping it won't visit me next! :P
*hums quietly to self*
*wonders where the others went*
*picks up current book, starts reading*
well L the brand I know is YAKULT
it's a probiotic which means it has lots of the bacteria that usually live in the gut and which antibiotics and illness reduce.
Increasing the amount can help the body work better again they are only about two mouthfuls so it's not a huge amount
But you can get capsules of the bacteria too acidopholis and bifidus
*psst*
i'm rummaging around in mayo's pantry. i'm suddenly all noshy.
back soon, depending on the state of his larder.
*looks up from book, startled*
Ergo! Hey! Ok, I'll direct L to your comment in the AM, she's lying down right now. Thanks!
TJ, bring back some yummies, ok? Maybe cheese and crackers?
I'm sure Ergo has mad bargaining skillz that she uses (with great results, too) when she shops. :D
perhaps I should get Ray to use his mad finger skillz to shred me a riff to play whilst I shop!
*ergo walks into 2nd hand store*
*eyes bargain*
*awesome riff explodes out of nowhere!*
You could have your own theme music to shop by. That would indeed be magnificent. I wonder, would it be fast and intricate, or slow and sexy?
success!
i have a little dish of old-fashioned vanilla ice cream, and there was strawberry syrup hidden on the bottom shelf of the door!
sneaky, mayo, but no match for ninja nancy drew. :)
You could have your own theme music to shop by. That would indeed be magnificent. I wonder, would it be fast and intricate, or slow and sexy?
I believe that would require extensive pondering and close consultation
I think a life soundtrack would be awesome, especially if it had "danger" music
*goes in kitchen to find her own cheese and crackers*
*and Tab*
Ergo, would you like something from the kitchen?
Ergo, have you seen the "Family Guy" episode where Peter gets a life soundtrack?
yes!! I love Family Guy!
ummm from the kitchen....
could you see if there is any cheese, and maybe some wine?
Hey guys
Just popping in before I take off for the night.
How is everyone?
Will do, am looking for cheese myself.
*adds wine to list*
There are some "FG" episodes that I find really funny, and then others that annoy me entirely. I love the weatherman at the news station: "IT GONNA RAIN!" There's usually bits (wink wink) I like better than whole episodes.
Have you seen "American Dad"? There's a character on there that I love, Roger the space alien. Very very funny.
Off to the kitchen!
Hellooooo Elena! Did you get the dishes washed?
And I see you had your own Anon earlier tonight. They were really sweet.
Hey J
Yep dishes are all done. Yep, a very sweet anon.
I'm thinking the laundry can wait until tomorrow. It's raining here and I really want to fall asleep listening to the rain. Besides I've gotta get up hella early.
Big day tomorrow? Lots of work to catch up?
hi elena. :)
i read about your daughter, and the tests. *yikes* sending her some of my "it's nothing" vibes. it will be okay.
Hi elena!
I have seen American Dad, it's on late here but it is funny
My connection's been going in and out and it's still storming and we're currently without power, so in case I don't come back, goodnight and sweet dreams to Ergo, J, L, Elena, and TJ.
J, nope, she's the family rabbit. I know she's just a baby, but she can be quite bad sometimes ^_^
Hey TJ and Ergo
BC we've had storms tonight too. And it's still 90 degrees. You'd think the rain would cool things off.

Goodnight BC, sleep well, and get off the fuckin' computer! You could get fried! I want to be able to talk to you tomorrow, ok? *hugs* And YAY FOR YOU again!
*throws confetti, streamers, glitter, and other party stuff*
good night, bc. be careful!
Hear the sound
The angels come screaming
Down your voice
I hear you've been bleeding
Make your choice
They say you've been pleading
Someone save us
Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We'll hear the sound
As you're falling down
I'm at this old hotel
But can't tell if I've been breathing or sleeping
Or screaming or waiting for the man to call
And maybe all of the above
Cause mostly I've been sprawled on these cathedral steps
While spitting out the blood and screaming
"Someone save us!"
Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We'll hear the sound
As you're falling down
And will you pray for me?
Or make a saint of me?
And will you lay for me?
Or make a saint of?
Cause I'll give you all the nails you need
Cover me in gasoline
Wipe away those tears of blood again
And the punchline to the joke is asking
Someone save us
Heaven help us now
Come crashing down
We'll hear the sound
As you fall
And would you pray for me?
(You don't know a thing about my sins
How the misery begins)
Or make a saint of me?
(You don't know
So I'm burning, I'm burning)
And will you lay for me?
(You don't know a thing about my sins
How the misery begins)
Or make a saint?
(You don't know
Cause I'm burning, I'm burning)
Cause I'll give you all the nails you need
(I'm burning, I'm burning again)
Cover me in gasoline again
headbangs, ouch, even with a headache I will always headbang!
that sounded almost bad didnt it?

Goodnight blogbelievers
Hi BI! Goodnight BI! Haven't talked to you in a few days, hope you're doing well.
Great song, too. ;)
goodnight BC sweet dreams and take care
Hello BI!
Hi and Bye, BI
(that sounded weird, didn't it?)
A very great song!!
Well kids think I'll tell the Mayo-Man goodnight then head out. Talk to you all tomorrow.
Op J hugs to you and L/Emerald. Hope she is better soon. I am fine. Thanks. Sweet dreams.
Kids, I hate to go, but I'm really tired. The stress has been mounting today. It's ebbing, but for a while I thought I'd never see the other side.
Goodnight Elena (glad that #3 is ok!, and enjoy your day tomorrow, talk to you then!), Ergo (oh she of the mad bargaining skillz and Toro-Tuned Lifetrack), TJ (wherever you ran off to), and BI (keep on headbanging, chick!)! I hope you all have a wonderful day/night tomorrow (damn these time zones!).
love, faith, hope, cheese, thunderstorms
Goodnight Ergo and Elena. Sweet dreams.
Hope your daughter is ok elena. I am sure she will be. Positive thoughts your way.
Ergo, you are quite the bargain hunter. You go girl.
BC, stay safe.
Goodnight all
Don't worry J, I'm on my phone, but thank you for the concern. Thanks TJ :)
Hi and goodnight B, everyone
goodnight J sweet dreams ♥
One person I neglected to mention:
Anima, the best of luck with your opening tomorrow! That is, if there's no problem with the inspection. I hope you won't have to put it off.
The last I'd heard, your dad wasn't doing so well. I'm so sorry to hear that. You're in the middle of so much happening in your life, I know it can be overwhelming sometimes. Remember you have all of us loony women to talk to if you need us. We love you, honey, keep going. You're strong, and you can make it through. *hugs and kisses*
shoes I got today
good night, you guys. :)
for some reason i have a really good song in my head now. *grins at beloved imortal*
goodnight BI sweet dreams!
Mayo
Today was rough. It was one of those days that made me take a look at myself and I didn’t like what I saw. Sitting in a waiting room in a Pediatric Hospital and looking around I realized I was ashamed on myself. So many of those children were so seriously ill. It hurt to realize some might not reach their next birthday. I looked around at them and their parents and I wondered how I could ever utter a complaint about my life. I’ve been blessed and yet I rarely acknowledge that fact. I whine and bitch about stupid, unimportant things. It was an eye opening experience. It made me question myself. It made me wonder why I’m not happier, more content with my life. It made me feel unworthy of the life I have.
Then I came to the blog and tried to explain how I felt. It was here I found some touching words from friends and anons. The words helped me. I am indebted to these people. I can’t begin to explain how much the concern these people show me means. I will take the words to heart. I will keep them close and when the need arises I will pull them out and listen to them again. Mostly though I will keep trying to understand and accept myself. I’m still not sure of the reasons I feel like I do but I will try my best to be the person I truly want to be. More than anything I want to be the best person I can for my loved ones. They deserve that. I deserve that.
Tomorrow I’m going to spend some time alone. I need to think. So it’s off to Starbucks for some perfect coffee and my 2 hours of free Internet time. I’ll visit with on-line friends and write. Perhaps instead of fiction I should try something else. Yes, I do release many of my thoughts in these goodnights but still I know that I can’t put into words everything I feel. You know it’s weird but if you truly were the only one reading this I would let the words flow. But Elena isn’t stupid, silly yes, but not stupid. I understand the limitations of what I can and can’t say. Sweet dreams.
Night Mayo
Elena (thank you, my friend)
Goodnight Elena sweet dreams and I hope your alone time brings you some peace withoiin yourself.
Love you ♥
Mayo,
Your Grandma had a good point. I wonder: do some people get more words than others, and/or more steps? Do you think some are cheated out of both? Or does God look at each person and say, "You won't need many words because what you say will be heard no matter what", or "This one needs more words in order to be heard by so many"?
Something to ponder. Same with steps, too, I guess. Some know where they're going before they leave; some need to walk a little while to decide where to go.
And you're spot-on about the house and TV. You can't take it with you, whether in reality or in print. The things that matter should be the intangible ones: love, faith, hope, trust, belief, friendship.
Again, good on you, my friend. All the way around.
Goodnight. Rest peacefully.
could he be cuter?
Dear SS,
So how's it going? Are you enjoying your days and nights? That's great. (Yes, I read minds. ;D) I hope you're resting in between all that busy-ness. You know how easy it is for you to run yourself down. Get some sleep, eat well, relax with a book, whatever. Listen to some good music.
Speaking of good music, we watched some videos on On Demand tonight. Two were by Against Me! and one was by Anti-Flag. Believe it or not, this was the first time I'd ever heard either of these bands. And they are fabulous. Against Me! is out there, inyourface, loud and belligerent. Anti-Flag are like the Clash. The lead singer even sounds like Joe Strummer, at least to me.
So, I've bent your ear enough tonight. Hope you have a delicious Tuesday (yes, I'm experimenting with various adjectives). And take care of you, alright?
Goodnight, precious. I love you.
My heart to yours, always.
*psst*
Ergo...
He hasn't changed a bit looks-wise, has he? Still has that baby face, and the expression of "Oh just come on and take the fucking picture!"
Gotta love him.
Goodnight again!
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit!
There's a Gulf War vet, dying a slow, cold death
And the government says, "We don't know the source of his sickness."
But don't believe what they say, because your government is lying
They've done it before and don't you know they'll do it again
A secret test, government built virus
"Subject Test Group: Gulf Battle Field Troops"
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit!
First World War veterans slaughtered, by General Eisenhower
You give them your life, they give you a stab in the back
Radiation, agent orange, tested on US souls
Guinea pigs for Western corporations
I never have, I never will
Pledge allegiance to their flag
You're getting used, you'll end up dead!
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit!
I don't need you to tell me what to do
And I don't need you to tell me what to be... FUCK YOU!
I don't need you to tell me what to say
And I don't need you to tell me what to think! What to think!
What to think, what to think, what to think, think, think, think!
You've gotta die, gotta die, gotta die for your government?
Die for your country? That's shit!
Anti-Flag
not ss
Goodnight Elena ♥
I forgot to say....
Sugarplum: yep, I just confirmed it. New outfit. L.A. Ink tattoo shirt and purple Tripp pants. It should arrive this week. I can't wait. With me moving out soon, I won't be able to see Killer scarcely much anymore, but I can't pass this opportunity up. I have to go for it and see where it leads me, and I'm super excited. And maybe sometime during the school year I'll get my first tattoo, I'm thinking a band one. I miss you much *smothers with smoldering, sloppy kisses and hugs* I hope you're well?
Tomorrow, I'll start applying for jobs within the downtown/campus area. I got so much to do in the next few weeks...
Anima: you're in my thoughts ♥ ♥ I miss you too
Mayo: It's been a while since I addressed you, but from what I read, your grandma sounded like a wise and intelligent woman. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to know my grandmother. She passed away years before I was born, but my mother tells me stories about her once in a while, and according to her, she was one strong woman. Apparently, I inherited some of her traits, and the only thing I have of hers, material-wise, was a gold locket that I keep securely away. It's the only piece of her that I have. And it will be passed on in case I someday have a daughter of my own. Maybe you have something from your grandma that you cherished as well?
And, for the last time, goodnight everyone!
hello
hi phoenix riddle how are you?
hi =]
not so good actually , I just got my exam results
oh they weren't as good as you'd hoped?
mayo,
my turn to wish you a good night, before i fall asleep myself.
back in college, i used to collect quotes. i have two little volumes of them, and still jot down phrases that shine. your new post reminded me of one of them:
I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
~ Buzz Aldrin
*grin*
i'm very sleepy. i shouldn't have stayed up this late. the minute i post this good night to you, i'm going to go and curl up in bed, and we'll just see if i can whisper out my prayers before sleep claims me.
it's soon to be autumn, but i'm waiting for spring. i'm a seed in the deep dark earth.
i wait.
it isn't easy, but spring is a good season. my heart is ready for it.
good night, mayo. it's always good to see your name in among the comments.
most sweet dreams to you.
goodnight TJ sweet dreams
I failed english =[
I passed everything else but i'm pretty bummed about english.
how are you?
I'm good thanks, cooking dinner
have you more exams to go in english? or can you resit them?
but remember it's not the end of the world
I failed maths on and off through high school and I've ended up being a respected maths and science teacher. So never think anything is the end, it might just mean you steer in a slightly different direction
Thanks =]
I can't resit the exam but I can take the class again next year I suppose.
I have to go now (dentist appointment =[ so take care and enjoy dinner!
I hope the dentist goes ok
I am scared of the dentist, big wuss that I am
It's always disappointing to fail, I remember how it felt, so take some time to feel rotten about it too, it's all well and good to say "It'll be ok" but you are allowed to wallow for a while in self pity, and chocolate :)
- but after the dentist
nice to see you, take care
Anyone here?
good morning mayo!
well your grandma does sound like she was a cool lady.
i am a big believer in when your time is up, it's up and you can't do fuck all about it.
so even if you feel you never said enough words or took enough steps, that was your lot regardless? yep i like her theory.
thanks for the new post mayo. glad you are doing ok, just really busy! thanks for dealing with the anon also.
right can't stop. have a lovely tuesday mayo!
SS maybe you are just away on your holidays with no internet connection?! or if not i hope all is well with you SS!
hey family!
glad you had such a fun time together GS and miss T!
elena *hugs* to you. i'm sorry for what you are going through. it's a tricky one. just know that we love you just the way you are! i know you need to love yourself though...that's the hard part isn't it?!
oh and children's hospitals are so very sad. the kids are so brave, it breaks my heart. hope your daughter is OK and the new treatment helps.
there was more to catch up on but no time!
gotta go and be bizzy!
love to you all!
hi miranth!!
gotta fly, no time to stop!
have a good day!
Hi FASC - nice to see your blur around here!
I am still trying to read everyone's grandma comments... I like reading them :)
Good *insert time of day here* Mayo, SS, Ergo, Phoenix, BC/Sweetcheeks, Elena, Amy, Lewis, RW, BI, TJ; the possibly soon to arrive: FASC, Possum, Kass and Miranth; various anons, lurkers and watchers.....everyone in the land o'blogbelieve!
How are you all today? Great (or at least decent), I hope!
Mayo: As always, thank you for the new post. You grandmother sounds very wise, indeed! Thank you for sharing some of her wisdom with us all.
Here’s something my (maternal) grandmother taught me:
"The two least important and least used words in your vocabulary should be I and ME.
The two most important and most used words in your vocabulary should be YOU and WE."
She was a very wise lady too! A teacher for over 30 years. My grandfather was a teacher/high school principal for 40 years - until the day he died. Unfortunately, I never knew him and I had only 7 short years with my grandmother. I hear stories to this day, about my grandparents, from their former students. My grandmother - the sweet, kind, forgiving, motherly type of teacher; and, my grandfather - who actually threw a few kids down a flight of stairs when he was principal! Yes, I suppose you could say he believed in “tough love”; but, his students said he and that "tough love"/"what the hell is wrong with you son" approach is what made them straighten out! They say they don’t know what would have become of them if hadn’t done the things he did. And, no matter how many times he grabbed them by their collars and threw them down those stairs - they knew they were always welcomed in his home and at his dinner table. I do wish I could have known him.
Luckily, for me, my grandmother fell in love with another wonderful man (at my parents wedding - believe it or not). She married him and provided me and my siblings with the most wonderful and amazing “paw-paw” we could ask for! He never threw anyone down stairs; but he was a real “character”!
Ooops, sorry for the family history lesson! My niece and nephew are both here tonight and I gave them history lessons on our family. I suppose I’m still in family history mode. *blushes*
I shall save the paternal history for another night! Think FARMING family. ;)
BC: CONGRATULATIONS, sweetcheeks!!!!! I am so proud of you!!!! I knew you would get accepted. WOW - Art School, a new place and job (soon) and a new outfit for Sunday. I would say you are having the summer of your life (so far). Keep soaring!
Amy: I'm so sorry to hear about the wedding from hell! Well, at least you had a bottle of wine all to yourself AND I know you looked smashing while getting smashed! ;)
Welcome back!!!!
Ergo: YES! That poor falcon finally landed! I'm so glad you liked them. Umm.....I can't believe you didn't tell your husband about those pictures you posted here to get those beads! ;P
*smooooooch*
MissT and GS: Thank you both, so much, for sharing your adventure with us! I'm glad to hear the two of you had such a wonderful time together!
Anima: Good luck with that inspection and best wishes for opening night!
Phoenix: Good luck at the dentist!
L, J and Elena: I hope you all have a much, much better day today!
SS: I hope you and all those you love are well and happy! I (also) hope you are doing a lot of soaring this summer!
To ponder (or not) today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
Carl Jung
and
"Life is rather like a tin of sardines - we're all of us looking for the key."
Alan Bennett
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hoping that everyone, who is searching for their key, gets just a little closer to finding it today!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

HI PJ, Cupcake, Martha, Present and Professor Anon!
Miranth!!!! *hugs*
How are you? How's your niece?
Regarding that 'country twang': I understand completely! I suppose it's an acquired taste. Much like V-8 juice! ;)
Hi FASC!!!! *hugs for you too*
I can't stay and chat this morning. I must get some sleep before my nephew wakes up! My niece will sleep until 2:00 pm; but that nephew of mine will be wide awake by 9:00 a.m. - despite going to sleep at 3:00!
Have a great day, ladies!
*blows kisses*
Wendy - My niece is ok, but she does have another infection. We are hoping the meds she's on now will continue to clear it up - as she's a little better than she was a week or two ago. She has a checkup next month, so we'll take her in then in any case, but if it does get worse, we'll take her in sooner.
Thank you for asking :) *hugs* Yes, you are probably right about the acquired taste... I like Hank Williams at times, so perhaps I should slowly acclimate myself :)))
My grandmother was a lot like yours, as I recall...
Nice to see you flitting by.
Oh, no wait, my grandmother was more like your grandfather - I just reread more closely.
Not sweet and motherly like - at all!
hi miranth and wendy
ixnay on the otospay, lol what he don't know won't hurt him lol
I am feeding up the falcon for a few days then I'll send him back with a taste of Oz
Hi Miranth, glad your niece is doing ok despite the infection, I really hope the meds are able to clear it up
Hi FASC hope you have a great day
Hi ergo!
I was happy to read of your wins at fair. I know you worked hard!
My nieces won 2nd and 3rd for their pigs and one won a Gold ribbon for crocheting a beautiful skirt with a shell pattern. She'll go to the state fair in 2009.
It always amazes me that we are so far apart (in distance) but experiencing some of the same events
:)
Bye now...
elena - I do experience that feeling too, when I am at children's hospital. I know you to be a kind person, so I believe in you just the way you are. :) Everyone should try to enjoy their time here - its what keeps us sane. But doing kind things for others is never a bad idea when you feel that way. I know it helps me.
Fimble - I am sorry to hear about your grandfather. You are with him in spirit though, remember that. I hope he feels better and I'm sending positive wishes your way!
L - I hope you are feeling better? *hugs*
MissT and GS - I am glad that you met up and spent time together! And I enjoyed the chocolate lip gloss :) Thank you!
BC - I had a feeling you'd be less available soon - and I meant what I said about missing you. I am very, very happy for you too though! I know you'll do well. *hugs*
Beloved Imortal - :) Those words were your just due! Thank you again. Having that ability also helped me communicate - clearly - with others and I can't help but be grateful!
RE: this post - My grandparents also died before I was born, except one grandmother. I remember sitting on her plastic-coated couches, silent, mind you, not allowed to touch anything for hours. She knocked me off of a stool once because I thought Czechoslovakia was one country, as I had been taught. (We're Slovakian.) I have very few memories of her, actually, and most of them are unpleasant. As a result, I have enjoyed reading others' stories of their grandmothers. Also, my mother, the same age as of most of my peers' grandmothers is super cool in the way that others' describe their grandmothers. These stories remind me of that. And I still have her, which makes it all the better. Thanks for sharing everyone. :)
Mayo - If this post is meant to be the end, I do understand. I also run out of words to share at times, but I find my voice again, later, and I do have something to say. My grandmother story is above, should you be interested. Also, I refresh and refresh, usually when no one is here. Its Sisyphean in frustration level, I can tell you, but in any case watch who you're insulting! :) I rarely have time to catch up during the day, so when I get to the point when I'm refreshing the page, its an accomplishment. :) Also, its the CRUELTY that's the problem, make no mistake, and while I know that will come back around to haunt the perpetrator(s), its still depressing to see here. Especially, as elena said, their are greater concerns in the world...
PS- Can you delete the harassment of sDock above? Thanks :)
Have a great day, Everybody!
♥
Good Morning, BlogBelieve!
Have a great Tuesday!
Ergo, Sleep well and have a nice night.
Catch you all later!
Mayo,
Have a nice Tuesday! I mean it has to be better than Monday, right? For sure, that's what I'm counting on.
Well, I am pressed for time seeing as how I almost slept too late. WTF is up with my body not wanting to shut down until about 3am?
Anyway, I'll holla back at ya a little bit later on tonight.
Holla back, Mayo.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Isn't that dead time?

goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning
♥xx♥
Good morning Mayo. Your Grandma sounded like she had some cool things to teach you.
My Grandma wasn't nearly as wizened as yours, but she gave great hugs when you needed one most.
(That, and she could take out her teeth and make great funny faces for me.)
On that note, have a great day.
Oh
How am I to know
If its really love
That's found its way here
Oh
How am I to know
Will it linger on
And leave me then
I'll dare not guess
At this strange happiness
But oh
How am I to know
Can it be that love
Has come to stay here
Hi.
Bye.
Have a great day everyone.
^_^
We Miss SS
