I can't get on the computer often, or for too long each time, and now i must say goodbye again, we are off digging worms to try fishing in the creek. And there are storms coming, it happens pretty much every afternoon in summer, hopefully some rain for the soghum that's planted, and for the lucern to be able to bale it, and maybe some good storm pics!!
We had our big Christmas Eve dinner. Hubby cooked prime rib and shrimp. He even made a cherry pie. Oh and a cheese ball. The dude really loves to cook.
Now he's gone to take Fred home because the roads are so slick. When I went to get her earlier today I ended up in a ditch and had to be pulled out.
Yes dinner was excellent. I do wish he'd cook more because it is one thing that really relaxes him and makes him happy.
Not sure about damage to the car because it's dark so I'm not sure. But I did slide through some tree branches on the way down to the ditch. I've got my finger crossed it's okay.
Oh and TJ wants me to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. She wants everyone to know she's thinking of them.
I just realized it's 1.30 and I haven't finished my wrapping...so I'd better shut up and go do it! It was so good to see y'all, what a nice Christmas present!
Goodnight Elena, Amy, BC, Ergo (already gone but not forgotten), and all the lurker-elves behind the tree and in the stockings!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Joyeux Noel, Buon Natale! Hope your day is a memorable one, and that you and your loved ones are able to be together this year.
I'm going to bed now. I must be sleeping for Santa to come down my chimney and leave goodies in my stockings! I hope I don't get a stocking full of coal ~ AGAIN!
0_o
I've been good. REALLY! I have! ;)
I also hope that poor frozen bird (that I must cook) is defrosted when I wake up after a lovely 2.5 hours of sleep!
Christmas dinner is being served at 2:00. All are welcome!
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas (again). I hope you all have a wonderful day!
Hugs and Love, ~Namaste~ 6/Wendy

Love to you guys! All of ya! Mayo and Ss too -hope you are grand and surrounded! Loves <3l
I hope that everyone has a wonderful day, and that you each spend today with the ones you love and care about. I hope you all bring in the New Year happy and healthy, and I wish you all the best in 2009. I'm not sure when I will be able to visit again, there's been a lot going on lately, and I'm kind of, sort of, dating this guy. (>.<) So I've been spending as much time with him as I can. Haha.
I've missed talking to you all, reading some of the comments brings a smile to my face because it makes me happy to know that there's still a sort of connection between the ones that still comment. =) I'm opening my blog back up soon.. I had it private for a while for my own personal reasons. I haven't written in it since I made it private because I was upset, and mostly disappointed in myself.
Anyways, this is supposed to be the 'most wonderful' time of the year, so I encourage everyone to go out, smile, laugh, dance, and be around the ones that matter most to you.
Mayonaise; thanks dude, not for me, but for everyone else. Thanks for keeping this blog open for such a long time. We all had doubts about how long this would be here, but I'm glad it's still here. Thanks for opening up a little bit more along the way, and letting us all see the real Mayonaise. =) Merry Christmas Buddy. =) I wish you all the best.
Anyways, this is supposed to be the 'most wonderful' time of the year, so I encourage everyone to go out, smile, laugh, dance, and be around the ones that matter most to you.
See? That's why I ♥ you. Don't you ever change, Paperheart. Never.
*hugz* Is that dude treating your right? I went to your blog yesterday to leave you a Merry Christmas message and it was closed! I was sad! But you're here now, so "Merry Christmas, PH!"
On a side note, I just had a crazy dream that Ergo was texting me!!
Hello everyone! Hiya PH! It's so good to read you again! You got a boy AND an iPod for Christmas, wow! Well, I got an iPod, so. :D
My dogs got gifts today and they were so happy they were going insane. It's so cute; I took pictures. When I brought them to my parents' my Dad was going, "Merry Christmas, boys! Did Santa come and leave you presents? What did Santa bring you?" I was like, "Dude, I think my Dad wants grandchildren." O_O It was pretty funny.
I hope you guys all are having a wonderful day. I just saw my cousin and her three kids. Now I've got other cousins coming over, and then other cousins after that as well, also my favorite aunt and uncle. ^_^
Just wanted to pop in and say Merry Christmas again!
Kapunua, I see what you mean... oh, hilarious! imagine if I'd accidentally added a g! I probably have done that some time in the past. But of course, I'd never say such a thing, it's really none of my business. :P
SS, same to you deary!
I'm very sad to hear about Eartha Kitt, she was lovely, and a classic catwoman.
Well, Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night.
It's good to see you all, and great to see some new/old faces: Bella, Bubbles, and Cupcake! HIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! What a wonderful present, to have the three of you here.
Martha, that's terrible news about Eartha Kitt. She was a classy woman, and to me the only TRUE Catwoman b/c she was the first. RIP Eartha.
I promised to come in today to chat with everybody, but our company just left -and I think I am gonna pass out now. It's really not the best idea to unpack 90% of your belongings, then decorate said belongings and bake a bunch of unhealthy (but oh sooo tasty!) crap all in three days... especially if you have company coming any second. AND, I'm wearing Girl Clothes. Whoa. Skirts.. I don't about them. I feel faint. Went to bed at around 7AM. Got up at 10AM and haven't had a chance to stop till now! Whew!!
But I wanted to say something to you, and I wanted everyone to fuckin hear it. You are magic. And just incredible Elena. You know what, out of all of the insane and wonderful things you sent me, got to me the most?? My "Lewis Lovely" purse. You made me cry, Saintly. It rather struck me, looking at those delicate words, that that isn't just a screen-name I picked; Lewis is an experience. It's changed me in so many ways, just as each of us here have felt. It's just insane how that could happen. But it is something more than that too -it is just beautiful. Thank you for reminding me Elena Lovely.
And Mayo, thanks for the opportunity for this to happen. Really.
Merry Xmas, kiss ya guys, kiss everybody! ;p Ho Ho Ho(Z, get paid for it!) Loves<333
Merry Christmas, Blogbelieve, God (or whatever higher form of power you choose to believe in, or not believe in) bless us every one, and all that happy stuff.
had a good day, wen't to a waterfall in a nat park, will hvae pics when I get back, fed some birds too, they land on your hand, called rosellas and king parrots
Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? Was it a good day full of memories you will treasure? I really hope so. Believe me you really need to store this shit away because time passes so quickly. One day you’ll look up and wonder where the fuck time went. Wow, this isn’t sounding like a nice Christmas night talk, is it? Well that’s okay because it’s really the day after now.
Christmas eve was really good here. Christmas day was another story. I’m not gonna go into it but suffice it to say that my girls broke into an argument after dinner that was worthy of a Springer episode. Yeah, I could do without that memory. Oh I dunno maybe someday when I look back I won’t remember it as being brutal. Then again maybe I’ll just block out this whole Christmas day. I’m pretty damn good at blocking things out. Selective memory, you know.
Anyway, I just wanted to say goodnight and to let you know that you were in my thoughts today.
Night Mayo
Elena (seriously, I needed Steve to break them up)
Crazy Kansas weather is at it again. It's almost 40 already and it's supposed to get close to 60 here today. I love the warmer temps but damn, now the snow is melting and we've got so much slush. Of course it's only gonna stay warm a day or so then right back into the freezer!
Good morning/afternoon/evening Mayo, SS, Ergo, Elena, Sweetcheeks, Sdock, Smoke; various anons, watchers and lurkers; all those determined enough (and just the right amount of crazy) to brave the malls and stores today in the land of blog!
Did everyone have a nice Christmas? I hope so! I also hope you are all recovering nicely today! And.... I hope Santa was very good to you all this year!!
I was hoping I could do just that. (Spend the day recovering.) Unfortunately, I can not! I must brave the "return/exchange" crowd at Walmart all because I forgot to get bunny food a few days ago. Miss Bingles is now out of food. That has never happened before! I shall chalk that one up to the pre~Christmas crazies!
I also need to stop at Radio Shack and get adapters. I don't want blow too many European fuses (or blow up my hotel)!
J: E~mail coming tonight!!! My love to you and L (and Sparkle, Twinkle, Monty, Phil and all the fur babies)!. Tell L to have a safe trip home! Ohhh... I did get a picture of reindeer Tinker Belle. I shall post it for you, later! She was not happy playing those reindeer games! ;)
Elena: I'm happy to hear you had a nice Christmas Eve!!! As for Christmas day... well... let's call your daughters' behavior up to: Christmas ~ the main event: Teenage tantrum terror! ;) Perhaps the ghost of Christmas past will visit you and erase it from your memory!!! *huge hug*
Ergo: I'm happy to hear you're having such a good time with your family!!! Safe travels back home for you too! *smooooooooch*
Lewis: I love ya!!!
Sweetcheeks: Which guy did you stay up will all night, last night? I know one of them probably kept you up late! ;) Stay warm, sweetcheeks!
Amy: What blew up now? Oh no... not that? Not in winter! I hope you're managing to stay warm too!!! I knew I should have gotten you a fireplace for Christmas. :/
Martha: I'm with you. Eartha Kitt was/is my favorite cat woman as well. She was so sexy and so talented!!! She seemed to have/be such a beautiful soul too!
Paperheart, Sis midnite, Bella: GREAT to see you all!!!!
Nothing to ponder today. I must be off! Wal~Mart and Radio Shack await. Wish me luck!
Have a great Friday, everyone!
Hugs and Love, ~Namaste~ 6/Wendy
Hi PJ, Poofed Chameleon, Present, Roger, Shaunette, Party Sheep and TJ!
I hope everyone had a happy christmas and I hope all of you continue to enjoy the holiday season.
Sorry I haven't been able to visit. I am still recovering from a terrible bout of the flu and my internet access is sporadic at best. I even missed my family gathering yesterday as I didn't want to infect the children and infants. I did visit all of my elderly relatives as they had flu shots. They told me lots of old stories. :) We even listened to old Christmas records after I got their turntable to work. Much fun.
But, every time I shovel snow, I seem to grow even sicker - and there's been A LOT of snow to shovel.
Again, I hope all of you are well and I do miss you guys lots! And lots! *HUGS* and more *HUGS* (minus the germs :)
Sorry I haven't caught up, too. I usually do, but its been difficult to do so recently. I do wonder what is going on?
Wendy, I was going to ask you for an update, but I think you are leaving soon on your trip? I hope you have fun!!!!!
And BC, as ever *BEAR HUG* :)
Take care everyone.
Mayo, thanks for the pics, and you do need to develop more interests! Not a damn thing sounds pretty boring!
I want to shoot up everything all blood red and hot pink and neon green.
I dunno why.
I'm waiting for my homeboys the Ghost Adventurers to come on TV!! I've been watching too much Mtv Made today. Like right now, I want to be made into a country singing ballerina dancing sniper! How cool would that be?
I was watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Not sure why. Kim made a special calendar for Reggie with some really, ummm, racy pics and her mama thought it was to be sold so she had it sent to all the newstands and stores. Kim had to go buy them all back. Bwahahah! It was kinda funny.
Poor Bruce. Khloe and Kourtney went to go hear one of his speeches. Before they heard him, Khloe was all like, "He's sooo boring. Just shut the f**k up already." They were kinda impressed though. Awwwww.
Khloe is the one with the terrible mouth, right? I'm just guessing here because I don't really even know their names. Didn't she have to go to jail for like 3 hours or something?
Holy crap it's still near 70 here and now they're calling for severe thunderstorms and a flash flood watch. But overnight it's gonna drop over 40 degrees and it's supposed to snow tomorrow.
Pissy Pants just left and he's a bit better today. Yesterday really got to him. I guess I just deal with the girls so much more than he does that they don't bother me as much.
Just wanted to say we got lots of lightening so if I disappear you'll know why.
Oh good grief. How wonderful, and at Mom's too. To quote, Heaven help us. My guess is that it wasn't anything major, either, just some teenage stuff. What'd he do, or say? Or whatever? And what about your mom?
Oh it was just tons of fun. Mom was upset, Hubby looked like the vein in his head was gonna pop.
You know what he doesn't understand is when you get 3 girls together at that age it's like they go crazy. Oh and yeah, it is that time of the month for all of them. LOL
Seriously it's like trying to break up a dog fight. Unless you have a hose it's best just to let them go at it and then when they calm down and become human again you get their attention. Best way for that is taking their car keys and explaining that the little show they put on is the reason they're grounded.
I cannot tell you how glad I am to have cats instead. O_o
And people ask me why I don't have kids. It's because of things like that, dudes! So, Stormy and Sunshine are grounded? I'm assuming Flighty's not; is she ok from falling down the stairs?
How'd you get away with grounding Flighty? I thought she'd pitch a fit about that, seeing as how she's, y'know, mistress of her own destiny and all, now. O_o
The car is okay. I went back and looked again today. Shit, that was a close call. If I'd gone just a bit more to the left I would have gone down a very steep ravine and probably flipped the car.
Sounds good! I got an Olive Garden gift card, a calendar, a sleep shirt, a pretty hair clip, and one of those backpack zipper-pull things of Hello Kitty. Also two sparkly iron-on's for my hoodie. *Lisa gave me the things from the sleep shirt on.*
Did you call here or on her cell? I might've been asleep; as for her cell, they get no signal up in the mountains.
She's doing better. She talked to her mom about some of the things troubling her, and got a really good response. Plus her cold is on the way out. She'll be back tomorrow, and does say HI to everyone!
L's making plans to come back to the blogs within the next couple of days, actually. I'll let her tell y'all the particulars, but look for her soon...
And Ergo, L loves Irish pubs! She'll be so jealous of you. One thing she regrets is that now, since she has diverticulitis too, she can't eat fried pickles anymore!
well elena it is the thing I think he's saying that makes an ounce of sense, lol, everything else is just weird
but the best I think is that the end of the bit before the guitar solo ends like he's in a restaurant and says "Is that the vegetable you can get?!!!!!" then angrily he yells "Is this the vichysoisse?!!!!"
in a live version of Dead gerard yells something, adn elena couldn't work it out so now I have a copy too and I an trying to decipher as well
and after "Mexico Fish INGRAARRRR" (which could be "Mexico fish in gruyere" in keeping with the food theme) I am obviouly well versed in translating the young man >.<
Goodnight Mayo, hope you had a good day as well. It would be nice if you'd drop in sometime and chat a little, but we understand you're a busy man. Just know that we all want for you to be well and happy.
Well we are having a lovely December thunderstorm at the moment. Lots of thunder and lightening and blinking power. Tomorrow it’s snow in the forecast. God, I love this state. Okay, that’s really heavy sarcasm. I mean I love the nice warm temp we have right now but the fact that it’s gonna drop about 40 degrees before morning just isn’t flipping my switch. Snow tomorrow…seriously doesn’t that just shuck your corn?
So now that we’ve suffered through the small talk (yeah, the weather) I find that I’ve run out of things to say. (and the crowd goes wild). Yeah, I’m truly at a loss for words. Perhaps I used them all up today on my unruly children. Believe me they got an earful and the words weren’t pretty.
I shall say goodnight now before the power winks again and I curse again. I hope your day was exciting and fulfilling. Or maybe just satisfying. Crap, I just hope it didn’t suck. That’s really the easiest thing to say but then I do beat around the bush. Holy crap I just realized I’ve flipped switches, shucked corn and beat around bushes. It’s almost like I’m channeling someone else tonight. I don’t even sound like me, to me. Unless I do sound like this and just didn’t realize it until now. Okay that was a big flash of lightening…waiting for the thunder. That was close. Post this Elena before it’s lost.
Night Mayo
Elena (stranger than normal but then again I’m never really normal)
I seriously need to stop going for jaunts around the internet, I come back carrying some crazy information. About crazy people.
Okay, so about 2 years ago, there was a murder in a town south of here, Medicine Hat. A daughter and her boyfriend murdered her parents and brother, so they could be together.
She was 12, and he was 23 at the time.
The parents tried to intervene, but couldn't get any help when they needed it, and paid a horrible price for it.
So, anyway, they've both been tried, found guilty and sentenced.
The girl is undergoing therapy and psychiatric testing to determine what help she needs, and it sounds like it gets worse with every evaluation.
They started off saying she was in shock, then she was just "not comprehending" what had happened.
Now, they're using terms like "failure to internalize" and they've diagnosed her with "Conduct Disorder" and "Oppositional Defiant Disorder". Google them, they're pretty serious. It has also been mentioned, in layman's terms, that she is failing to see how any of this is her fault, or her problem.
Then, I go on to read that more and more children, under the age of 10 are being diagnosed early with severe personality disorders, not all of which can be rehabilitated, especially things like sociopathy, and anti-social personality disorder.
So, now I need to worry. Worry that if I bring a child into this world she or he could be born with a severe mental imbalance that could cause them to lash out in similar ways, hurting, maiming, even killing someone.
Completely off topic here guys, but it does really worry me. My mother was diagnosed with depression when I was young, and even my father has had it. I think I may have had a few pit stops in the Depression/Anxiety Lane.
And as they say, the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Well, to add more to your comment Amy, there's days where I worry how my kid will turn out as well, when or if one day I decide to have them one day.
Sometimes I wonder if they'll turn out like me, and to be honest, I am not that much of a social person. I spent most of my teenage years being depressed and just cut off from society, and I still haven't fought my way through a few issues I've been having throughout my entire life. I am trying to face them just now.
The world may be a scary and fucked up place now, but that only makes me feel a bit more determined to try to make sure that my future kids will try and live a happy life as best as I can give them.
I think that's all you probably can do. Just hope you raise them right and that they'll turn out okay.
Severe personality disorders usually arise from a combination of genetic factors and poor parenting.
Children who are brought up in loving, caring homes aren't likely to become sociopaths or to develop severe personality disorders.
Depression, anxiety, etc., are pretty common biological disorders. I wouldn't let a minor family history of those influence my decision to have children.
Gerard and LynZ have MAJOR mental problems, history of drug abuse (hard drugs for both of them).... bad social skills and bad hygeine and it didn't stop them from bringing a child into the world.
What family doesn't have some history of mental illness? I mean, really? And just because you have a history of drug abuse doesn't automatically mean you'll be a terrible parent or that your child will have those same problems. Sure, the odds are greater but still. I don't know. This world is messed up. People are messed up. Children can change everything for you. I agree with 4:22. Sure didn't stop me! In fact, my son keeps me sane most of the time. Like I said, they change everything.
I need help from J rock and Pop fans. Do any of you know where I can download torrents of Rock/pop songs. I was listening to a pod cast that was talking about good bands but they didn't play songs for all the bands. I need to know where I can hear the songs or download them.
No youtube please I want to see if I like the songs with out the visuals. Thank you.
MEFFERS! go to my blog and see the video I put up. OMG it's too funny. It's of Solly, Princess, Mummy K and I at breakfast in Disneyworld. Daddy K took the video and I never even knew he took it.
I can't say this at HER blog because I know she uses a tracker....
I watched Kapunua's video and it got me mad. She says they are talking about the blog. Why do I get the feeling that they are discussing certain people on here behind their backs. I would not put it past them to do that. Why else would they be spending time in Disneyland, on VACATION, talking about this blog if it wasn't to bad mouth certain people on here?
And that is exactly why I have a problem with most of the 'porchies'. They don't think twice about backstabbing, such as the OPS. It gets me mad.
This blog has been very very quiet lately and I would like to thank Amyranth for cleaning it up. They like to pretend that her words about quotes and poetry didn't affect them but it's funny how it all stopped after her Fix. Amyranth thank you for having the guts to speak up about what was wrong with this blog, as opposed to spending time doing it behind the backs of others.
No the blog is dead thanks to three people that are so desperate for any attention from mayo that they made the whole blog into a competition. thanks alot.
9:51, thanks for laying all the blame on me and "Anon henchmen".
I don't know who a single "anon" is around here. Well, no that's a lie. I know who at least two of them are.
And they're no friends of mine.
I don't control what anyone thinks on this blog. I definitely don't control what anyone says on this blog.
Ever consider that maybe Mayo and SS don't hang around because of the way they are talked TO? I wouldn't, if someone spoke to me in my own house that way.
Frankly, I don't need support from anyone to think what I think, or say what I say. I don't have henchmen. And nobody follows me, because they know I don't need a "fan club".
Amyranth doesn't know who the good anons are who agree with her, just the bad ones who are nasty and attention whores. Give you a hint WAH WAH MY FRIEND WANTS TO KILL HER SELF!!
even if no one gets me, if i'm the only one laughing at my jokes, i won't hide myself away from life. it's uncertain and it's dirty and it's fucking exciting, and i want to be a part of all of it.
it's too good to waste in hiding.

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.

(Tonight, although I am cold and my feet are sore, my belly is full.)
It helped.
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.

something
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.

Retro-spectacled
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.

From the corner.
I wonder if you noticed all our friends playing Some had never tried before and the result was amazing.
Poems from the corner from the left and right We did our best to keep them flowing Late into this night.
If nothing else was accomplished I hope we made someone see How truly beautiful and amazing a poem can be.

Well, I guess I'll just have to develop a sense of humor.
Hi I am full of roast lamb :]
and I nearly got the top spot!! lol
close enough!!
*happy dance*
LOL, poor Ergo!
J, this is the first time I've seen it. Not horribly impressed. I think I like the Grinch better.
I was watching grinch today, I like both, but Corpse bride is better
I love the Grinch cartoon. Wasn't too impressed by the thought of Jim Carrey turning it into another Ace Ventura-like character.
Least favorite Christmas cartoon? "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer." Hands down.
Hey Ergo! How's your holiday going?
My least favorite is Frosty The Snowman. And if Jimmy Durante wasn't dead already, I'd give him a sharp kick.
Aw, I liked ol' Jimmy the Schnozz. He was cool. One of the old-schoolers, like Dean. Dean was Mr Cool.
The classical On Demand station is playing carols. Pretty.
Okay, fix that.
I'd LIKE to not give Jimmy Durante a kick, but that damn song is SO ANNOYING!
excellent thanks J
I can't get on the computer often, or for too long each time, and now i must say goodbye again, we are off digging worms to try fishing in the creek.
And there are storms coming, it happens pretty much every afternoon in summer, hopefully some rain for the soghum that's planted, and for the lucern to be able to bale it, and maybe some good storm pics!!
bye for now
♥xx♥
Goodday/night, Ergo! Glad your holiday was so good! Have fun with those worms. Talk to you tomorrow, maybe.
Amy, how about if we kick the people who wrote the song?
Goodnight Ergo!! Merry Christmas to you, your family, and your worms!
J, how about we pull a Calvin, and just turn Frosty into a sno-cone?
Oh I missed Ergo..
Thanks again for the call. It was wonderful talking to you and your family.
Hello everone, Merry Christmas!
*hugs ergo, elena, amy, and J*
J, Amy, thank you! I just got back from the christmas eve dinner. I'm stuff, and a bit tipsy and very tired at the moment. How about you guys?
Hi there elena! Goodnight ergo
Merry Christmas Elena! Have you had your celebration yet, or is it later today?
Amy, that sounds really tasty. I could use something to drink. What flavors do you have? ;)
Hey BC and J
We had our big Christmas Eve dinner. Hubby cooked prime rib and shrimp. He even made a cherry pie. Oh and a cheese ball. The dude really loves to cook.
Now he's gone to take Fred home because the roads are so slick. When I went to get her earlier today I ended up in a ditch and had to be pulled out.
Amy, sorry I didn't see you.
Merry Christmas!!! Have you opened your gift?
Hallo Elena! Sounds like it's going well on your end!
No, I haven't opened any gifts yet. I'm a staunch believer in opening gifts on Christmas Morning only.
BC, stuffed, but not tipsy. I planned to have a glass of wine, but I was so hungry when Mister got home that I gobbled and snoozed for awhile.
J, I have rum and whisky flavour. Which would you like?
Oh Elena, I hope you're ok? Did you have any damage to the car? Is it still snowing there?
Sounds like Mr Elena can really cook. So why doesn't he do it more often? Did you all have a good dinner?
BC, I'm thinking you might need to go to bed soon? Sleep off all those carbs! Did you have a nice time?
Amy, if we're having Sno-Cones, I'd really like something tamer than rum or whiskey. O_o
Like cherry or cola or something.
Right now the classical channel is playing, yes, "FROSTY THE SNOWMAN" as performed by, yes, THE CANADIAN BRASS. Traitors! Rawr.
Yes dinner was excellent. I do wish he'd cook more because it is one thing that really relaxes him and makes him happy.
Not sure about damage to the car because it's dark so I'm not sure. But I did slide through some tree branches on the way down to the ditch. I've got my finger crossed it's okay.
Oh and TJ wants me to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. She wants everyone to know she's thinking of them.
Tell TJ the same and that L and I sent her ecards, if she can ever get to a computer. ;) How's she doing with her new job? And the apt?
Merry Christmas Teej!
J, I probably have Cherry somewhere, but damn that Canadian Brass! DAMN THEM!
J, probably. I am soooo freaking tired. I drank at least four glasses of this sangruine wine my sis in law made.
I didn't eat too much, but the wine just made me way tired.
I just realized it's 1.30 and I haven't finished my wrapping...so I'd better shut up and go do it! It was so good to see y'all, what a nice Christmas present!
Goodnight Elena, Amy, BC, Ergo (already gone but not forgotten), and all the lurker-elves behind the tree and in the stockings!
love, faith, hope, snow, mistletoe!
BC, I'm starting to feel it too.
I think I'm going to head off. Robot Chicken, then the Pope's Midnight Mass.
There's a lot to be said for being a pajama Catholic.
Goodnight everyone.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Gotta go guys. It was nice talking to you all. Merry Christmas and talk to you all tomorrow!
Luv you guys!
Mayo
Goodnight and Merry Christmas.
Mayo:
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Joyeux Noel, Buon Natale! Hope your day is a memorable one, and that you and your loved ones are able to be together this year.

Dear SS,
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I hope you have a lovely day, get some really cool presents, and eat too much. ;)

I wish you all the same, and more.
Merry Merry, Happy Happy

Oh Okay I see! Thanks Amy.
I have no clue what his page is but sounds nice.

Merry Christmas blogbelieve!!!
I'm going to bed now. I must be sleeping for Santa to come down my chimney and leave goodies in my stockings! I hope I don't get a stocking full of coal ~ AGAIN!
0_o
I've been good. REALLY! I have!
;)
I also hope that poor frozen bird (that I must cook) is defrosted when I wake up after a lovely 2.5 hours of sleep!
Christmas dinner is being served at 2:00. All are welcome!
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas (again). I hope you all have a wonderful day!
Hugs and Love,

LHM just looked at the posters in his room and said, "Mama. There was a box of thumb tacks on the counter. Santa left his thumb tacks!"
He was looking at me funny. I think he's starting to suspect something is up. Hee-hee.
Ya reckon?
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
Just a quick stop to wish you all a wonderful day.
Off to my mom's for Christmas lunch.
Smoke tell him Santa left the tacks just in case he needs them. That Santa is a very thoughtful guy. LOL
Not as cool as Mayo's but I got an angel!
Hee-hee!
I'm tired now! It's all over but the cleaning up. Grrr!
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Watch it while you still can.
Merry Christmas, Anon! That's awesome! :)
Thanks. :D
I just got back home from a very noisy,very crowded Christmas lunch with my whole family....and I'm still alive!
Anyway...

Shiit.
I can't hyperlink. ^^Deleted comment is mine. I need to fix it.
Well Well Well.
Merry Christmas to everyone! And Happy Holidays!
I hope that everyone has a wonderful day, and that you each spend today with the ones you love and care about. I hope you all bring in the New Year happy and healthy, and I wish you all the best in 2009. I'm not sure when I will be able to visit again, there's been a lot going on lately, and I'm kind of, sort of, dating this guy. (>.<) So I've been spending as much time with him as I can. Haha.
I've missed talking to you all, reading some of the comments brings a smile to my face because it makes me happy to know that there's still a sort of connection between the ones that still comment. =) I'm opening my blog back up soon.. I had it private for a while for my own personal reasons. I haven't written in it since I made it private because I was upset, and mostly disappointed in myself.
Anyways, this is supposed to be the 'most wonderful' time of the year, so I encourage everyone to go out, smile, laugh, dance, and be around the ones that matter most to you.
Mayonaise; thanks dude, not for me, but for everyone else. Thanks for keeping this blog open for such a long time. We all had doubts about how long this would be here, but I'm glad it's still here. Thanks for opening up a little bit more along the way, and letting us all see the real Mayonaise. =) Merry Christmas Buddy. =) I wish you all the best.
P.S. I took out the hyperlink. =)
PH!!!!!
Merry Christmas! I miss you! :)
Anyways, this is supposed to be the 'most wonderful' time of the year, so I encourage everyone to go out, smile, laugh, dance, and be around the ones that matter most to you.
See? That's why I ♥ you. Don't you ever change, Paperheart. Never.
Princess!! ^_^
!*)&U#$)*@ I miss you soo much! It makes my heart hurt sometimes. =(
How have your Holidays been? ^_^
PH!
*hugz* Is that dude treating your right? I went to your blog yesterday to leave you a Merry Christmas message and it was closed! I was sad! But you're here now, so "Merry Christmas, PH!"
On a side note, I just had a crazy dream that Ergo was texting me!!
Great so far, PH! Awww, Solly and I were just talking about you the other day! I'm so glad you came around today! Yay!
Troofax, PH! Were your ears burning? We were saying how much we miss you!
Well, gotta go for a bit! Good to see you, PH! *hugs*
♥ you!
Solly! Uggh I missed you two like crazy! I missed EVERYONE.
And don't worry, the boy is treating me right. We've agreed on nothing serious for now, we just want to see what direction things will go in.
I'm off for a bit too. Listening to my NEW IPOD, and going to eat some ice cream then take a nice looooooong bubble bath.
I hope to cross paths again soon! I'll try to come around more often!
much love &hugs;;

Hello everyone! Hiya PH! It's so good to read you again! You got a boy AND an iPod for Christmas, wow! Well, I got an iPod, so. :D
My dogs got gifts today and they were so happy they were going insane. It's so cute; I took pictures. When I brought them to my parents' my Dad was going, "Merry Christmas, boys! Did Santa come and leave you presents? What did Santa bring you?" I was like, "Dude, I think my Dad wants grandchildren." O_O It was pretty funny.
I hope you guys all are having a wonderful day. I just saw my cousin and her three kids. Now I've got other cousins coming over, and then other cousins after that as well, also my favorite aunt and uncle. ^_^
Have a lovely day, everyone!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
My furnace died on me, but I have my Wii, my health, my family, and a turkey in the oven! Yum!
Have a great day everyone, catch up
with you later!!
Eartha Kitt died
:(
Rest in peace Eartha Kitt
Thank you anon L have always loved her. She was my favorite catwoman.
Just wanted to pop in and say Merry Christmas again!
Kapunua, I see what you mean... oh, hilarious! imagine if I'd accidentally added a g! I probably have done that some time in the past.
But of course, I'd never say such a thing, it's really none of my business. :P
SS, same to you deary!
I'm very sad to hear about Eartha Kitt, she was lovely, and a classic catwoman.
Well, Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night.
xoxo cupcake
Merry Christmas to all!
It's good to see you all, and great to see some new/old faces: Bella, Bubbles, and Cupcake! HIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! What a wonderful present, to have the three of you here.
Martha, that's terrible news about Eartha Kitt. She was a classy woman, and to me the only TRUE Catwoman b/c she was the first. RIP Eartha.
I may be back later, may not. Take it easy, kids!
Mayo, I hope you had a good day today. *hugs*
SS, I hope the same for you. *hugs*
Bye for now!
Hi everyone!
Just stopping by to wish you all a Merry Christmas. *hugz* I'm wishing all of you & your families all the love I can send.
XOXOXOXO

Merry Christmas, Mayo!
And a very Merry Christmas to SS!!

Merry Christmas Sister Midnite.

All I want for Christmas is one inflatable sheep. You would be amazed at how handy blow-up animals are to have around the tour bus! That's all we want for Christmas, a plastic inflatable sheep to call our very own. If Pink Floyd could have a huge pig, then surely we could have one little sheep. -- Daniel Johns, Silverchair
Hope they got what they wanted.
:)
Elena,
I promised to come in today to chat with everybody, but our company just left -and I think I am gonna pass out now. It's really not the best idea to unpack 90% of your belongings, then decorate said belongings and bake a bunch of unhealthy (but oh sooo tasty!) crap all in three days... especially if you have company coming any second. AND, I'm wearing Girl Clothes. Whoa. Skirts.. I don't about them. I feel faint. Went to bed at around 7AM. Got up at 10AM and haven't had a chance to stop till now! Whew!!
But I wanted to say something to you, and I wanted everyone to fuckin hear it. You are magic. And just incredible Elena. You know what, out of all of the insane and wonderful things you sent me, got to me the most?? My "Lewis Lovely" purse. You made me cry, Saintly. It rather struck me, looking at those delicate words, that that isn't just a screen-name I picked; Lewis is an experience. It's changed me in so many ways, just as each of us here have felt. It's just insane how that could happen. But it is something more than that too -it is just beautiful. Thank you for reminding me Elena Lovely.
And Mayo, thanks for the opportunity for this to happen. Really.
Merry Xmas, kiss ya guys, kiss everybody! ;p
Ho Ho Ho(Z, get paid for it!) Loves<333
Merry christmas Sis M, anon, and lewis :)
Merry Christmas, Blogbelieve, God (or whatever higher form of power you choose to believe in, or not believe in) bless us every one, and all that happy stuff.
Lewis,
You are a lovely. You are lovely. Always remember that. Hope things are looking up for you. I will talk to you soon.
Merry Chirstmas to all..
Sister Midnite it was wonderful to see you.
Merry Christmas to you too, anon
Carrie, BC I hope both of you had a great day.
Thanks elena. You too :)

goodnight blogbelieve
back when I can
♥xx♥
Oh LEWIS and PH!!
great to see you both :]
Mayo
Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? Was it a good day full of memories you will treasure? I really hope so. Believe me you really need to store this shit away because time passes so quickly. One day you’ll look up and wonder where the fuck time went. Wow, this isn’t sounding like a nice Christmas night talk, is it? Well that’s okay because it’s really the day after now.
Christmas eve was really good here. Christmas day was another story. I’m not gonna go into it but suffice it to say that my girls broke into an argument after dinner that was worthy of a Springer episode. Yeah, I could do without that memory. Oh I dunno maybe someday when I look back I won’t remember it as being brutal. Then again maybe I’ll just block out this whole Christmas day. I’m pretty damn good at blocking things out. Selective memory, you know.
Anyway, I just wanted to say goodnight and to let you know that you were in my thoughts today.
Night Mayo
Elena (seriously, I needed Steve to break them up)
elena!!!
Steve is the best bit of that show!
hope you had a good xmas otherwise
I keep rethinking my talk with you! It was sooooooo great :]
Ergo
It was so great talking to you and your family. It was so fun. Next time I'll call, okay?
no worries elena!!
just about to have dinner, take care everyone!
Happy Friday, Guys!
Happy Friday to you too, sdock.
Crazy Kansas weather is at it again. It's almost 40 already and it's supposed to get close to 60 here today. I love the warmer temps but damn, now the snow is melting and we've got so much slush. Of course it's only gonna stay warm a day or so then right back into the freezer!
I have on shorts and flip flops. >.<
It is so freakin' humid. I swear to God. Grrrr.
Whooo-hoo! It's nice not to be at work though! YAY! ^_^
(It's 78 here today!)
Good morning/afternoon/evening Mayo, SS, Ergo, Elena, Sweetcheeks, Sdock, Smoke; various anons, watchers and lurkers; all those determined enough (and just the right amount of crazy) to brave the malls and stores today in the land of blog!
Did everyone have a nice Christmas? I hope so! I also hope you are all recovering nicely today! And.... I hope Santa was very good to you all this year!!
I was hoping I could do just that. (Spend the day recovering.) Unfortunately, I can not! I must brave the "return/exchange" crowd at Walmart all because I forgot to get bunny food a few days ago. Miss Bingles is now out of food. That has never happened before! I shall chalk that one up to the pre~Christmas crazies!
I also need to stop at Radio Shack and get adapters. I don't want blow too many European fuses (or blow up my hotel)!
J: E~mail coming tonight!!! My love to you and L (and Sparkle, Twinkle, Monty, Phil and all the fur babies)!. Tell L to have a safe trip home! Ohhh... I did get a picture of reindeer Tinker Belle. I shall post it for you, later! She was not happy playing those reindeer games!
;)
Elena: I'm happy to hear you had a nice Christmas Eve!!! As for Christmas day... well... let's call your daughters' behavior up to: Christmas ~ the main event: Teenage tantrum terror!
;)
Perhaps the ghost of Christmas past will visit you and erase it from your memory!!!
*huge hug*
Ergo: I'm happy to hear you're having such a good time with your family!!! Safe travels back home for you too!
*smooooooooch*
Lewis: I love ya!!!
Sweetcheeks: Which guy did you stay up will all night, last night? I know one of them probably kept you up late! ;)
Stay warm, sweetcheeks!
Amy: What blew up now? Oh no... not that? Not in winter! I hope you're managing to stay warm too!!!
I knew I should have gotten you a fireplace for Christmas.
:/
Martha: I'm with you. Eartha Kitt was/is my favorite cat woman as well. She was so sexy and so talented!!! She seemed to have/be such a beautiful soul too!
Paperheart, Sis midnite, Bella: GREAT to see you all!!!!
Nothing to ponder today. I must be off! Wal~Mart and Radio Shack await. Wish me luck!
Have a great Friday, everyone!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Hi PJ, Poofed Chameleon, Present, Roger, Shaunette, Party Sheep and TJ!
Wake up, Mayo's Blog!
Mayo's blog is worn out from the holidays!
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
HI elena and Solly!
I hope everyone had a happy christmas and I hope all of you continue to enjoy the holiday season.
Sorry I haven't been able to visit. I am still recovering from a terrible bout of the flu and my internet access is sporadic at best. I even missed my family gathering yesterday as I didn't want to infect the children and infants. I did visit all of my elderly relatives as they had flu shots. They told me lots of old stories. :) We even listened to old Christmas records after I got their turntable to work. Much fun.
But, every time I shovel snow, I seem to grow even sicker - and there's been A LOT of snow to shovel.
Again, I hope all of you are well and I do miss you guys lots! And lots! *HUGS* and more *HUGS* (minus the germs :)
Sorry I haven't caught up, too. I usually do, but its been difficult to do so recently. I do wonder what is going on?
Wendy, I was going to ask you for an update, but I think you are leaving soon on your trip? I hope you have fun!!!!!
And BC, as ever *BEAR HUG* :)
Take care everyone.
Mayo, thanks for the pics, and you do need to develop more interests! Not a damn thing sounds pretty boring!
♥
Feel better, Miranth!
*shoots paintballs and Mayo's Blog*
Fuck me! That was supposed to be AT Mayo's Blog, not AND.
Maybe I should wake up.
You shot the blog? WTF? Dude!
Just with paintballs.
*pow pow pow*
I just shot you too, Smoke. You are now covered with yellow and blue paintball splatters.
Muwahahhaha!
Is it splatter or spatter?
Ah well...
*pow pow pow*
*runs, ducks, and dives out the front door*
Hi Smoke!
And thank you Solly - I am trying!
*ducks paint ball shot*
:)
Bye now
Oh! Pretty colors! ^_^
Let's shoot Mayo! He likes swirly colors and stuffs, right! And what's he gonna do?
Better yet. I have a pellet gun! It's an automatic. WHOOOO!!!!
BAMBAMBAMBAMBAM!
Hi Miranth!
*throws Solly a pistol and a bottle full of glow in the dark pellets*
WHOOO!
Night vision goggles! Niiiice!
Yours goes bam, bam, bam and mine goes pow, pow, pow.
I want to shoot up everything all blood red and hot pink and neon green.
I dunno why.
I'm waiting for my homeboys the Ghost Adventurers to come on TV!! I've been watching too much Mtv Made today. Like right now, I want to be made into a country singing ballerina dancing sniper! How cool would that be?
Mashed taters with butter and cheese rules, Mayo.
Just sayin'.
Thanks, Smoke. Let's see if we can spell out something on the wall.
"Domino, Motherfucker!"
I'm waiting on Zak, Nick and Aaron, too! YAYNESS!
I was watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Not sure why. Kim made a special calendar for Reggie with some really, ummm, racy pics and her mama thought it was to be sold so she had it sent to all the newstands and stores. Kim had to go buy them all back. Bwahahah! It was kinda funny.
Kris is forever pimping out her daughter's booty. She practically begged her to do Playboy, and poor Bruce is just left shaking his head.
Not that I have ever watched that show.
Poor Bruce. Khloe and Kourtney went to go hear one of his speeches. Before they heard him, Khloe was all like, "He's sooo boring. Just shut the f**k up already." They were kinda impressed though. Awwwww.
Answer the phone, Solly!
Khloe is the one with the terrible mouth, right? I'm just guessing here because I don't really even know their names. Didn't she have to go to jail for like 3 hours or something?
Yep, that's her. Her filthy mouth kinda reminds me of you. She likes the 'eff' word.
*pow, pow, pow*
Now, that's pretty!
The Viking Kittens look all bloody and fabulously pink and green!
My job here is done. Now, I am off to watch Zak scream like a little bitch.
I'm still trying to get past Benjamin Button. That movie has just made me go ---> O_O
The "eff" word is beautiful!
Just statin' the fuckin' facts....
That movie made me go....
o_O
Me too!
Byeeeee Mayo!!!♥
Byeeeee SS!!!♥
Oh, and technically it is nottuB namijneB.
BYEEEE!
Or like that chick said, "Yes, I need four tickets for Benjamin Brad, please!"
Muwhahahah, Gotta love folks!
Night, BlogBelieve
Night, Mayo
Night, SS
Shit, Eartha Kitt died? I knew there was a reason why my world was a little less hot yesterday. :(
Holy crap it's still near 70 here and now they're calling for severe thunderstorms and a flash flood watch. But overnight it's gonna drop over 40 degrees and it's supposed to snow tomorrow.
Hi elena, that doesn't sound good. I checked yahoo earlier, and it's 46 degrees here. Tomorrow we're supposed to hit 58.
Christ Elena, I thought we had bad weather!
Hallo BC!
Hi everybody! I'm blog-hopping tonight. What's up?
Hi Amy and BC
Yep, this weather is weird even for us
Hallo Amy! Hi there J and elena how are you guys? :)
Hey J
Nice to see you. I'll be back in a sec.
Hi BC!
Hi Elena!
Hi Amy!
I gotta go seek some advice. I got some guy problems. Be back in a few.
Hallo J, Elena, and BC!
Ow...
I'm back. What's wrong Amy?
Something about Wii is all I know, Elena. And that's not much.
How's Pissy Pants been lately?
Oh man those are fun.
Pissy Pants just left and he's a bit better today. Yesterday really got to him. I guess I just deal with the girls so much more than he does that they don't bother me as much.
Just wanted to say we got lots of lightening so if I disappear you'll know why.
You do have some eccentric weather in them thar corn fields.
Must be all the aliens. O_o
Did something happen yesterday?
Yeah the girls had a Springer fight after dinner at my moms. Complete with Flighty falling down some staris. It was epic.
Oh good grief. How wonderful, and at Mom's too. To quote, Heaven help us. My guess is that it wasn't anything major, either, just some teenage stuff. What'd he do, or say? Or whatever? And what about your mom?
Oh it was just tons of fun. Mom was upset, Hubby looked like the vein in his head was gonna pop.
You know what he doesn't understand is when you get 3 girls together at that age it's like they go crazy. Oh and yeah, it is that time of the month for all of them. LOL
Seriously it's like trying to break up a dog fight. Unless you have a hose it's best just to let them go at it and then when they calm down and become human again you get their attention. Best way for that is taking their car keys and explaining that the little show they put on is the reason they're grounded.
I cannot tell you how glad I am to have cats instead. O_o
And people ask me why I don't have kids. It's because of things like that, dudes! So, Stormy and Sunshine are grounded? I'm assuming Flighty's not; is she ok from falling down the stairs?
Better yet, how are YOU doing after all that?
Oh I'm okay. Just another memorable moment.*rolls eyes*
Flighty is okay too. Actually they are all grounded.
How'd you get away with grounding Flighty? I thought she'd pitch a fit about that, seeing as how she's, y'know, mistress of her own destiny and all, now. O_o
yeah she thinks that but she's at home for several more days and believe it or not she doesn't wanna go back to her apartment yet.
Wow. I wonder if she'll move back home? She may be more homesick than you realize.
BTW, how's the car after your little, uh, "off-roading" adventure?
The car is okay. I went back and looked again today. Shit, that was a close call. If I'd gone just a bit more to the left I would have gone down a very steep ravine and probably flipped the car.
>.<
Don't tell me things like that. I don't want to add more worry to my list of worries and the people I worry them about.
Let's say, Thank Heaven you didn't go to the left more. And leave it at that. Ok? Ok.
So what did you get for Christmas?
Well I got lots of Starbuck's gift cards. Always a good thing. Some Harley stuff and a skirt.
Sounds good! I got an Olive Garden gift card, a calendar, a sleep shirt, a pretty hair clip, and one of those backpack zipper-pull things of Hello Kitty. Also two sparkly iron-on's for my hoodie. *Lisa gave me the things from the sleep shirt on.*
How is L? I tried to call earlier today but no answer.
hello :]
Hi there Ergo! How was your trip? *hugs* :)
good thanks BC went to an irish pub for lunch today, guiness pie with salad and chips and 2 heavy beers, then came home and had a snooze, LOL
Hi j and elena
Did you call here or on her cell? I might've been asleep; as for her cell, they get no signal up in the mountains.
She's doing better. She talked to her mom about some of the things troubling her, and got a really good response. Plus her cold is on the way out. She'll be back tomorrow, and does say HI to everyone!
Hey Ergo! Are you home?
no not home yet J, just on the computer for a little while.
We'll be back after new year
that;s good about L, say HI back when you talk to her
ELENA!
I am pretty sure he says "Is that the best sister"
I was listening to it repeatedly while I walked this am
That sounds lovely Ergo ^_^
or was it
'is this the best sister"
my player isn't handy to check
one of the 2 anyway
Glad L is doing better. I miss her.
Ergo is that really what you think he's saying?
L's making plans to come back to the blogs within the next couple of days, actually. I'll let her tell y'all the particulars, but look for her soon...
And Ergo, L loves Irish pubs! She'll be so jealous of you. One thing she regrets is that now, since she has diverticulitis too, she can't eat fried pickles anymore!
well elena it is the thing I think he's saying that makes an ounce of sense, lol, everything else is just weird
but the best I think is that the end of the bit before the guitar solo ends like he's in a restaurant and says
"Is that the vegetable you can get?!!!!!"
then angrily he yells
"Is this the vichysoisse?!!!!"
"Is that the vegetable you can get?!!!!!"
then angrily he yells
"Is this the vichysoisse?!!!!"
What in the HELL are you two talking about?
in a live version of Dead
gerard yells something, adn elena couldn't work it out so now I have a copy too and I an trying to decipher as well
and after "Mexico Fish INGRAARRRR"
(which could be "Mexico fish in gruyere" in keeping with the food theme)
I am obviouly well versed in translating the young man >.<
You speak his language, Ergo. :D
He talks a lot about food (especially fish) to be so skinny these days. Someone needs to feed that boy a biscuit or a donut or something.
haha, he needs to have a guiness pie, I can highly recommend a little country pub!
Ok my net time is over, gotta go, I'll pop back whenever I can
love y'all
you to Mayo
and you as well SS
bye all!!
♥xx♥
Bye Ergo, good to talk with you! See you later.
I think I'll sign off, too. It's my bedtime.
Goodnight Elena, BC, and Amy, see you tomorrow!
Goodnight Mayo, hope you had a good day as well. It would be nice if you'd drop in sometime and chat a little, but we understand you're a busy man. Just know that we all want for you to be well and happy.
love, faith, hope, peace, happiness
SS baby,
Thank you. *hugs*
Still looking up. Will be until...well, until. :)
Goodnight, Precious. I love you.
My heart to yours, always.
Goodnight J and Ergo :)
Mayo
Well we are having a lovely December thunderstorm at the moment. Lots of thunder and lightening and blinking power. Tomorrow it’s snow in the forecast. God, I love this state. Okay, that’s really heavy sarcasm. I mean I love the nice warm temp we have right now but the fact that it’s gonna drop about 40 degrees before morning just isn’t flipping my switch. Snow tomorrow…seriously doesn’t that just shuck your corn?
So now that we’ve suffered through the small talk (yeah, the weather) I find that I’ve run out of things to say. (and the crowd goes wild). Yeah, I’m truly at a loss for words. Perhaps I used them all up today on my unruly children. Believe me they got an earful and the words weren’t pretty.
I shall say goodnight now before the power winks again and I curse again. I hope your day was exciting and fulfilling. Or maybe just satisfying. Crap, I just hope it didn’t suck. That’s really the easiest thing to say but then I do beat around the bush. Holy crap I just realized I’ve flipped switches, shucked corn and beat around bushes. It’s almost like I’m channeling someone else tonight. I don’t even sound like me, to me. Unless I do sound like this and just didn’t realize it until now. Okay that was a big flash of lightening…waiting for the thunder. That was close. Post this Elena before it’s lost.
Night Mayo
Elena (stranger than normal but then again I’m never really normal)
Yikes.
I seriously need to stop going for jaunts around the internet, I come back carrying some crazy information.
About crazy people.
Okay, so about 2 years ago, there was a murder in a town south of here, Medicine Hat. A daughter and her boyfriend murdered her parents and brother, so they could be together.
She was 12, and he was 23 at the time.
The parents tried to intervene, but couldn't get any help when they needed it, and paid a horrible price for it.
So, anyway, they've both been tried, found guilty and sentenced.
The girl is undergoing therapy and psychiatric testing to determine what help she needs, and it sounds like it gets worse with every evaluation.
They started off saying she was in shock, then she was just "not comprehending" what had happened.
Now, they're using terms like "failure to internalize" and they've diagnosed her with "Conduct Disorder" and "Oppositional Defiant Disorder". Google them, they're pretty serious. It has also been mentioned, in layman's terms, that she is failing to see how any of this is her fault, or her problem.
Then, I go on to read that more and more children, under the age of 10 are being diagnosed early with severe personality disorders, not all of which can be rehabilitated, especially things like sociopathy, and anti-social personality disorder.
So, now I need to worry. Worry that if I bring a child into this world she or he could be born with a severe mental imbalance that could cause them to lash out in similar ways, hurting, maiming, even killing someone.
Completely off topic here guys, but it does really worry me. My mother was diagnosed with depression when I was young, and even my father has had it. I think I may have had a few pit stops in the Depression/Anxiety Lane.
And as they say, the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Goodnight elena, stay safe.
Amy, that's some scary shit right there.
Well, to add more to your comment Amy, there's days where I worry how my kid will turn out as well, when or if one day I decide to have them one day.
Sometimes I wonder if they'll turn out like me, and to be honest, I am not that much of a social person. I spent most of my teenage years being depressed and just cut off from society, and I still haven't fought my way through a few issues I've been having throughout my entire life. I am trying to face them just now.
The world may be a scary and fucked up place now, but that only makes me feel a bit more determined to try to make sure that my future kids will try and live a happy life as best as I can give them.
I think that's all you probably can do. Just hope you raise them right and that they'll turn out okay.
Severe personality disorders usually arise from a combination of genetic factors and poor parenting.
Children who are brought up in loving, caring homes aren't likely to become sociopaths or to develop severe personality disorders.
Depression, anxiety, etc., are pretty common biological disorders. I wouldn't let a minor family history of those influence my decision to have children.

Hello!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
Hey Mya
Did you see the note I left about the soap you sent? I just want to thank you again. It's really great. My favorite is the brown sugar and fig.
Gerard and LynZ have MAJOR mental problems, history of drug abuse (hard drugs for both of them).... bad social skills and bad hygeine and it didn't stop them from bringing a child into the world.
What family doesn't have some history of mental illness? I mean, really? And just because you have a history of drug abuse doesn't automatically mean you'll be a terrible parent or that your child will have those same problems. Sure, the odds are greater but still. I don't know. This world is messed up. People are messed up. Children can change everything for you. I agree with 4:22. Sure didn't stop me! In fact, my son keeps me sane most of the time. Like I said, they change everything.

Hi PJ, Miranth, Lewis (and Dave), CTV, Redrum, Entropy, BI, Villa, It's Me, DA and Twisted!
Ergo: *smoooooooooch* Glad you made it home safely!
I can't say this at HER blog because I know she uses a tracker....
I watched Kapunua's video and it got me mad. She says they are talking about the blog. Why do I get the feeling that they are discussing certain people on here behind their backs. I would not put it past them to do that. Why else would they be spending time in Disneyland, on VACATION, talking about this blog if it wasn't to bad mouth certain people on here?
And that is exactly why I have a problem with most of the 'porchies'. They don't think twice about backstabbing, such as the OPS. It gets me mad.
This blog has been very very quiet lately and I would like to thank Amyranth for cleaning it up. They like to pretend that her words about quotes and poetry didn't affect them but it's funny how it all stopped after her Fix. Amyranth thank you for having the guts to speak up about what was wrong with this blog, as opposed to spending time doing it behind the backs of others.
9:44 very true. I feel the same way
The last sentence was very accurate.
This blog is fucking dead, thanks to Amyranth and her idiotic anon henchmen.
Not even Mayo or SS will come around here to talk.
No the blog is dead thanks to three people that are so desperate for any attention from mayo that they made the whole blog into a competition. thanks alot.
9:51, thanks for laying all the blame on me and "Anon henchmen".
I don't know who a single "anon" is around here. Well, no that's a lie. I know who at least two of them are.
And they're no friends of mine.
I don't control what anyone thinks on this blog. I definitely don't control what anyone says on this blog.
Ever consider that maybe Mayo and SS don't hang around because of the way they are talked TO? I wouldn't, if someone spoke to me in my own house that way.
Frankly, I don't need support from anyone to think what I think, or say what I say. I don't have henchmen. And nobody follows me, because they know I don't need a "fan club".
Queen of The Damned Universe indeed.
Try telling 9:44 that you don't need a fanclub, Amy. Or did you conveniently miss that comment?
You tell it like it is Amy. Who are the anons who aren't your friends?
She doesn't NEED a fanclub we just like her because of the things she says and DOES around here.
It was the attention whores who drove Mayo and SS away and it was Amyranth who drove the attention whores away and I say good for her!!
Oh, hai, Henchman 1 and Henchman 2.
Amyranth doesn't know who the good anons are who agree with her, just the bad ones who are nasty and attention whores. Give you a hint WAH WAH MY FRIEND WANTS TO KILL HER SELF!!
