I hate to see you
When you're falling apart
Can't you start over, again?
Elizabeth crumbles
Alone in her chair
Keeps her windows shut
To keep out the air
Elizabeth crumbles
Alone in her bed
Spends all her pastime
Mulled in her dread
What keeps her living
Is her fear of being
Anywhere other than here
So they’ll feed her too much
Or it’s never enough,
Then it's fuck you
“Get the hell out of here!"
Elizabeth stumbles
Over everything I've said
Pining words are useless
Pushed round in her head
The mystery was my bravery
I never knew what I'd get
Will it be her fear or regret?
Her confusion my denial?
Walked her shoes a while
Now she can’t turn back
So she said then she’ll stay
And I will walk away
Elizabeth mumbles
Over and over my name
Forgetting tomorrow
Will never be the same
She’s repeating her beating
Did you bring her a drink?
Why are you leaving?
What the hell do you think?
That she’ll fuck you
To get the hell out of here
Elizabeth tumbles
Out onto the floor
With an abandon of reason
It is herself abhorred
She sat alone in her room
Pouring over her gloom
Never got out of her chair
And they don't even care
Now that they’ve all receded
Into the ground or fleeted
To the wormholes
And woodwork back there
You'll find repair
Where that memory
Becomes illusory
Look, again?
p.s. in the end it is what you think you will get.

I can't get that song out of my head!!!
I know why. Yesterday I found a very old "Clue" game. I had no idea how long that game has been around. The one I got is from 1949
So anyway, it made me think of the movie and of course the song.
Love that movie!
to my friend
i heard 'Everybody Hurts' yesterday. it made me think of you. thank you for caring enough to leave it, just when i needed it most.
:*
Jesus H Christ, will this miserable weather never end?!
Argh!
Amy I'm guessing it's not sunny in your neck of the woods?
Bees collect nectar to make honey.
"The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee . . . gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.” Leonardo da Vinci
Hooray for bees!
Also, it's not true that bumblebees do not have the aerodynamics to fly.
The "power of their own arrogance" quote is untrue, but it sure makes a little thing like a bee seem that much stronger!
Hallo Elena! No, the weather hasn't been good. We got rainy snow on Friday, and snowy rain on Saturday. Now we're just getting smats and patters of rain, but of course the only plants affected in the yard are the expensive ones. The crabgrass would probably survive a Nuclear Holocaust.
snowy rain? Crap, it's near 90 here today. Lots of rain and storms last night. Now it's just hot.
A day of "just hot" wouldn't be a bad thing around here. According to the Weatherman, we're on board for one of the coolest Junes in years. :P
The rain will be good for the garden, but the sun isn't a bad thing either, Mother Nature!
How's the comic collecting coming?
Sorry Amy I keep wandering away. Actually the comic collecting is what's making me stray. I've been working on comic listings.
Right on.
I've been wandering too, I just started watching clips from The Untalkative Bunny. I love that show.
I've never heard of that show. What's it about?
It's a series of 5 minute shorts about a yellow bunny that doesn't talk, but still interacts with his surroundings and other characters.
They play a lot of Jazz and Bossa Nova as the sound track, I personally really enjoy it. If you look it up on youtube you can catch a couple of episodes. There's quite a few of them from what I understand
I'll have to check that out. Sounds good.
Do you like Wallace and Gromit?
I'll be honest, I've never seen Wallace and Gromit before. I've really liked other shows from the UK, like the stop-motion Paddington Bear, and Postman Pat though.
Be right back, going to heat up supper.
gooood morning!!!
hi elena hio amy
hi J and Lewis from earlier
and goodnight g'nite, I missed saying that
I know Untalkative Bunny!!!! It's funny, and I like whistling the theme tune
AND
I love Wallace ad Grommit!
:D
sorry about the crappy weather Amy
Postman Pat, Postman Pat
Postman Pat and his black and white cat...
early in the morning just as day is dawning...
he picks up all the post bags in his van
Some Motown
Postman Pat,Postman Pat,
Postman Pat and his black and white cat.
All the birds are singing, and the day is just beginning.
Pat feels he's a really happy man
I like that bit :]
Sly
Stand Baby!! Good words!!
Have a GREAT Sunday!!
hello again, I'm having one of those days that seems pleasantly to have more hours in it than it should, making up for those days where time seems to fly, it's nice :]
Elena,
This is the song I'VE been singing all day. It's driving me insane. But I like it.
The Offspring "Don't Pick It Up"
BTW, I really liked the Motown links from earlier. Be nice to see a little Otis Redding too.
Mayo
This is the second time I've written this goodnight. I had just finished the first when I realized it was unnecessary. What I had to say to you, while important, didn't need to be said. It is my belief that the words I intended to say should remain silent. Not because they weren't important but because I believe in my heart you already know them.
This place started out as a gathering but slowly became a game. Not to all but to some. And you my friend are the dungeon master. Yes, you really are. I on the other hand am simply just a lowly player. I didn't plan on playing a part but yet I did. But I refuse to accept that. I could go all cryptic but I choose not to. And yes as I write this I do see the irony. I'm talking to the King of Cryptic. And yet, cryptic as you can be I've always felt I understood you. I still do feel that way.
The game is still being played but it is my belief you see that. I have faith that you do.
So I will continue as I've done from the beginning. I will come here, talk to those you inhabit these halls, and I will speak to you as my friend. All because I have faith.
Night Mayo
Elena
Exceptional words, Elena. Eloquent, to the point, sincere. Thank you for sharing them with us.
*barges in*
*waves*
*tries to get lost again*
Faith in what?
The faith she has in Mayo.
hello J you still here?
hello everyone!
elena's good night (though surely, it's early for that?) is a lovely thing to read upong getting here. pactum serva. :)
as was g'nite's poetry selection from last night. caught my eye because it seems out of season, but i found it really touching. it reminded me of the comfort of piled leaves, and of missing (and missed) friends. thank you, g'nite.
so, what's up?
Hi TJ!
Elena has a beautiful way with words doesn't she
I'm sort of here, Ergo. :)
How are you ladies tonight, you and TJ? I'm assuming Elena took a pass on hanging around.
TJ, yet another new word: UPONG. THey're getting better!
hi ergo, she does. :)
hi j. -- oh no! it looks like my typing skills are still being a little subverted, aren't they?
lol
upong!I didn't even notice that!
I'm pretty good thanks J, I feel very lazy today though so I'm just bludging about
how are you?
any more packing done?
I had great intentions of packing, Ergo, but...I was reading earlier, and fell asleep, and that was the end of the packing idea. So, maybe tomorrow after Mom and I get back.
I'm like that, I always fully have intentions, I just get distracted so easily along the way
And it's worse b/c I don't want to do it. Who I THINK is gonna do it, I don't know, but obviously I'm not who I had in mind!
hahaha
that is always the worst, knowing it has to be done, and really not wanting to.
I always feel overwhelmed, like I don't really know where to start, and it seems like such a big job, and it's boring, that I'll find something else to do.
When are you due to move?
Have you been admiring your art TJ, do you ahve somewhere to display it?
j., just don't follow my example and leave it all until the last weekend! *yeesh*
ergo, for now, i just have the paintings resting against the wall in the guest room where i stay. they need to be framed, but i didn't want to put them away. :)
Actual moving day is up in the air. The manager told us she wanted to "do some things" to the new place first. She said "at least" the middle of June. But they have to find a moving company, and get all that scheduled. We MAY be out of here by July, but who knows. There's no big rush b/c this unit's going to be demolished after we're out.
they are too nice to pack away, have you thought of the frame type? You'd need something fairly simple so as not to detract from the art would you have a mat around them as well or just a frame?
J as long as it doesn't get worse before you get out!
Not having a date would make it harder to get motivated too
i think a frame that is almost invisible, because i like the way they look right now, ergo. i was wondering if there might be narrow bamboo frames out there somewhere...
Is there a framing shop in town, or close by, TJ?
Ergo, I just want it over with, I'm really over moving. This one will be my ninth since I left home in '89.
I hate moving, though I have only really moved twice, the first time was before we were married and hadn't accumulated so much stuff, I would dread doing it now
TJ I agree, it would need a very minimal frame, I haven't ever really seen bamboo frames readily available, it'd likely need to be specially made, so talk to a good framer, however you can get glass fronted frames that clip together, leaving very little visible. I'd say scope out some framers and see what sort of thing they offer and what sort of price you'd be looking at, framing isn't cheap
Ergo, TJ, I have to get up early tomorrow to take Mom to her appt, so I'm off to bed. Hope you have a good day/night/whatever, and I'll talk to you tomorrow night.
Goodnight Mayo, have a good one.
xo
we are off to grab some banana suckers from a friends, I'll be back in a little while
take care!
oh goodnight J hope it all goes well
sweet dreams
good night j., have a good day tomorrow (and pack a little, at the very least! *grin*)
ergo, i was also thinking of some wire arrangement similar to the way plates are hung. i don't know if there's a framer anywhere near, but that's my next stop, isn't it!
sorry to run off and leave you TJ but hubby decided to go now and the car is running outside
sweet dreams and see you tomorrow
banana suckers??
Dear SS,
What are you reading right now? I'm reading a Jeffery Deaver novel called The Twelfth Card. It's another of his novels that features Lincoln Rhyme from The Bone Collector. These books are so fascinating to me b/c they get into such forensic detail. They're truly stories to make you think. Try one out if you like that kind of thing.
What did you think of that Offspring song? I love them, they make a point even in a "silly" kind of song. Their song "Gone Away" is one I play in memory of my dad.
Off again I go, but I'll talk to you when I get back.
Goodnight, Precious. I love you.
My heart to yours, always.
see you ergo!
i'm not sure i want to know what you're doing...but have fun!
Hello
I can't stop in now, at the casino. However I just watched the episode of South Park - Make Love Not Warcraft. Holy shit, that is some funny stuff. If you get the chance watch it.
Okay, off to do things illegal in at least 39 states.
Take care, friends
lol i like how elena is always giving us tv reviews when she's at the casino. :)
anyway, time for me to go to bed, so good night, all and sundry!
*yawn*
mayo,
full moon tonight, so i went outside to hang out and watch her rise above the treetops. it was that time of day when the sun has set, but the sky still holds a memory of the day's color. there was one star, high overhead.
the fireflies were making up for the lack, though. the field was glittering with them. i walked down the drive a little, admiring their display (still so magical to me, who grew up without them) and then, on a whim, sat down on the paved driveway. the road was warm from the day's heat; it felt so cozy.
i could actually feel the transition from day to night as i sat there. the light was already gone, even though it wasn't dark yet, and suddenly the scent of the woods was on the air, cool and green and sweet. a moment later, a whippoorwill began to call.
it was an intensely quiet moment. it was prayerful, a moment when you feel securely rooted and free all at the same time. it was a gift, moments like that always are.
and you were there with me, too. i was watching the night rise and knew i would be sharing it with you here, and so saw it for both of us, saw it as a writer so i could give it to you now.
even now, after so much time, that is one of the wonderful things about this blog.
good night, mayo.
hey TJ
banana plants put up suckers beside them, that will grow into a new plant. You have to remove some suckers as they take energy from the parent plant, but you usually have one full grown, one half the size and one small sucker per clump. The plant dies after it fruits so they next one takes over.
Bananas aren't "trees" as they have no trunk they grow from the base, the stem is tightly wound leaves and the flower grows up through the centre from the base.
So to get new types of bananas you need to get suckers off someone else. Which is what we did
lol and here endeth the 1st lecture of "Banana 101"
take care & sweet dreams
Mayo
hope you've had a nice weekend. I am really tired, you know that tired when you actually don't know why you're tired but your body and brain just want to go to sleep? Yep that's how I feel, but tomorrow I am heading into town to get my new car stereo installed, and boy am I looking forward to it. I love gadgets. So now I have Transformers to watch, borrowed it from a friend, seeing as the new one is out soon, I need to refresh, plus hubby hasn't seen it and he needs to. Hope I can stay awake!
Have a great Monday
much love EP xx
SS
you have a good weekend/ I hope you have had some lovely moments to create lasting memories. You a Transformers fan? Well I will be watching the movie real soon, just after Home & Away reaches it's cliffhanger ending for tonight. I on;y watch one soap opera but I am dedicated to it- bad acting and all!!
Have a lovely Monday
lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve see you in my morning
♥xx♥
Hi Bee Enthusiast! Thanks for the pictures and quotes! Just beautiful! Feel the sun just looking at those! The best in life is gathering the 'honey.' But having to make it through the other trials to get there, I think makes it taste all the better. Can't have one without the other, in anything in life. Da Vinci was such an interesting and complex person. Never a surpise at how much he can still make you think in this age. Thank you again for all of that Enthus! Hope everything is good for you! :)
(bye from 9:59)
Mayo, are you OK? Still with us?
No g'nite bloggers either?
:(
Honeys, I'm home!!!!
What? Like none of you have ever stayed out past 6 a.m. before. Heck, this isn't even close to how late I used to stay out "back in the day". The sun's barely up yet!
:P
The New York Dolls were WOW; just WOW!!!! In fact, the entire night was WOW!!!!!! Wasn't that full moon absolutely gorgeous? Wasn't everything just absolutely gorgeous? I think it was!
I just don't know what else to say but WOW!
I do have pictures and videos. I shall work on uploading those after I get a few hours of sleep.
I'm exhausted! I did quite a bit of dancing at the Dungeon... after, afterwards.
Ergo: I told you I would behave and I did. No articles of clothing came off! I promise!
*hopes those 'house' videos don't end up on youtube*
:P
I would just like to add, I think people are so funny. In a wonderful, beautiful sort of way.
And, I'm going to Washington in a couple of weeks. I just don't remember what Washington I'm going to. One of them... DC or state. Eh, who cares? I can use another vacation!
Mayo, SS, Ergo, Amy, Elena, everyone... I hope you're all well and I hope you all had/have a wonderful night!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Just waiting for Ergo to say good morning..........
It's really them isn't it?
I get the random Dr Pepper convo now.
Agriculture depends greatly on the honeybee for pollination. Honeybees account for 80% of all insect pollination. Without such pollination, we would see a significant decrease in the yield of fruits and vegetables.
"Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don't they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers."
— Ray Bradbury (Dandelion Wine)
Hi everyone, how are you?
Miranth, that was an awful situation with your boyfriend's ex. It's lucky you were there to get her purse back. The bad thing is that if you had called the police about that situation, they would have called it a dmoestic and not turned out. Well, here anyway.
Wendy, so many shows so little time eh?
Elena, the garage sales sound great. Now the weather is getting better, I might get out to a few car boot sales here.
Amy, get some Wallace and gromit watched. "Cheese Gromit".
Ergo, a new PP ditty.
Postman Pat, Postman Pat,
Postman pat ran over his cat.
Blood and guts went flying,
Postman Pat was crying,
he's not such a really happy man.
LOL.
Well, my computer is being good today but my nose isn't. I was so bunged up last night. It's a little better today but I'm gonna go get a good night's sleep.
Nighty night all.
xxxx
Good to see you MissT. Too bad an ocean seperates us or we could go to sales together. That would be fun.
Take care
good morning!!!!
good morning elena
good morning missT
but poor Postman Pat!!!!
ERGO
Hello to you.
:}
I was wondering where you were
I am off to town today to get my new car stereo installed
it has red lights on it- oooooooh
shiny!
I'm at work right now. Oh lights how exciting. LOL
What brand is it? Are you going to drive along with the windows down and the stereo blaring?
It's a Sony and has direct iPod connection which charges it as well, and you can browse the iPod from the stereo
and yep that is the plan!!
my old one has a tape deck which eats tapes and radio
well time to go, I should be back not too late today I don't want to be all day in town, I have nothing else to do as far as I can think
hope to catch you later?
take care
xx
eating tapes is bad. I had one that did that too.
Mine plays the ipod too and a CD player. I hardly ever listen to the radio. Too much talking, give me music.
These are much prettier in the sunlight but I wanted to show them anyway.
insulators
Hiya Everyone, Near and Far, Here and Gone!
MissT, there's that dark english humor coming 'round! How old were you when you sung that? XD I used to watch a lot of Brit Kids shows, they imported them over from the UK on a lot of the local channels here when I was growing up.
Mira, down to the wire now! Game 5 was a kick in the arse, but there's still Game Six!
Hallo Elena, Ergo, Wendy, Teej, BC, The Punks, Anons, Mayo and SS!
And anyone else I missed?
Anyone?
Waiting For Mayot
Is Mayot Mayo's cousin? From Europe? Does he have a curly moustache, and a pointy little beard? And longish slicked-back hair?
I bet you he wears pointy little shoes too. And they click when he walks.
How did that play end, anyway?
Hello?
How did that play end, anyway?
He never shows, but the main characters are unable or unwilling to leave.
Hello Anons, are there two of you? How're you doing tonight?
Hey Amy, are you still around?
hello!!!
hello. :)
you know, we might be waiting for godot and all that, but at least we have a much better set!
*sits on the couch*
hey ergo, is your car all flashy flashy now?
Waiting for Guffman was funny
hi TJ!!
It is a HUGE improvement on the old stereo, and I think I have it figured how to use it
Not too much flashing though, it does have red lit buttons, so they go faster
how are you?
Hello
I'm in a stupid metal workshop and my 3G is having trouble getting a signal. Oh and of course Hughes.Net is fucked so no Internet at the house. Okay I'm done complaining.
Hope everyone is doing good.
oh no elena! when do you get internet back?
I am good thanks
how are you?
Your insulators look really pretty
Okay it's working right now...
Thanks Ergo. They really are pretty I'll have to try to get a pic of them when the sunshine shines through them.
I am just googling info about the equaliser settings on this stereo, most have like "rock, jazz, vocal" etc this has "xplod cruise, space, gravity.."
it'd be great if the book actually told you what they mean
hubby said to watch out if I turn it to gravity as the car might levitate, or I thought birds may be pulled down onto the car as I pass
i'm back! sorry about that, mom had a question.
ergo, those settings sound pretty cool, all bbc scifi. :)
elena, hello! i liked your pic of your insulators too. blue glass is always so pretty, especially with those trees as a background.
I can't find anything :[
I suppose I'll just press em until I like the way it sounds lol
well, let us know if the car starts to fly, because then we could plan for you to make a visit to the states!
if my car ever flies it will be my first international destination!
Dear SS,
Well, Mom's appt went very well today. The neurologist said he could either give her a new med that she'd take as a maintenance med, or she could have the CT scan to find out if anything's there. She opted for the scan, since that's what she had planned all along. It went well, and the tech seemed pleased with the results. But of course the dr has to read it and then he'll make the diagnosis, if any.
And miracle of miracles, we actually got along today! All six hours we were together!
Must be some kind of record. O_o
You remember I told you I sent a mix CD to a friend of mine? Well, this is one of the songs that's on it. Thought you might like it too.
Matthew Sweet "Where You Get Love"~
This is another one of my favorites by him, same album as "WYGL". Matthew Sweet "Come to California"~
*Maybe GWay watched this video last year; it has a chimp in it. Just sayin.
So there's some tunes for you to listen to, hope you enjoy them!
Goodnight, baby. I love you.
My heart to yours, always.
Mayo
Holy crap this sucks. I can't keep an Internet signal. So I better tell you and all my friends goodnight now. Besides I'm getting ready to watch "Dune". Yeah, Sting in a diaper. LOL.
So goodnight Mayo. I miss you and hope things are going good in your world. Take care
Night Mayo
Elena
good night elena, we've got the storm here, too. every time it flashes outside i tell myself i should get off the computer lol!
good ngiht, j. :)
ergo, my folks have a very long driveway, and part of it is paved, so you can land right here!
Hi girls! Just a quick in-and-out, I'm really tired.
While looking for those Matthew Sweet songs, I came across this: Barenaked Ladies covering "Rio" by Duran Duran~
'80s flashback! These guys are great; they're Canadian, very tongue-in-cheek, too.
And then I found the one I recorded at a karaoke bar about 5 or 6 years ago: BNL "Too Little Too Late"~
They're groovy. :)
Ok, I'm off to bed. Too tired to say. Talk to you later!
xo
P.S. I packed 2 1/2 boxes tonight, too!
you know what? i need to get to bed soon, i've got work in the morning. (plus, i think that storm is getting closer, eep!)
good night ergo, have fun playing with your new toy! *hee*
good for you on the packing, j.! and i'm going to have to save that d2 cover link and check it out next time i'm at the library, could be interesting!
sweet dreams. :)
I like Bare Naked Ladies J
I'll have to look at it when I canmy youtube is loading really slowly
glad the appointment, scan and time together all went so well and good on you packing
hope the storm is a good but safe one TJ
elena sucks about your internet, hope you enjoy Dune
I will wish all of you a goodnigth and sweet dreams
I am listening to the Eurovision Song Contest cd I bought today
some songs are dull but some are really good
a goodnight even!
mayo,
it's all thunderstormy right now, but this afternoon it was sunny and warm and lovely. i finished up all my to-do's, had my shower, and then couldn't resist any longer; i had to spend some time outside.
i was outside all afternoon, just hanging out, watching the green world, writing a little, texting with elena. it was such a good way to spend an afternoon, and i didn't want to go in when the folks made dinner, so i took my plate back outside and made a picnic of it.
the sun was in my hair and on my skin, and i felt like i had re-established my place in the world just by seeing how big the sky is and how the light walked through the woods.
i know it probably seems like i write about my environment a lot, i'm always going on about the trees and the stars and what have you in my good nights to you. it's not just that i think they're beautiful and magical, not just that they're my default topic, it's that they really do give me so much. fresh air and the rustling sound of green leaves is the surest mood-altering medicine i've ever had.
back in college, i would get so closed in on myself, and i learned to escape the cannibalistic circling of my thoughts by leaving my room and just walking across campus to the library. at first i thought it was the library that made me feel better, and i'm sure that was a part of it, but it really was just changing the air in my lungs, and looking at the sky, and feeling the breeze or the snow or the rain...
because i get stuck in my head too much, and being outside puts me back in my body. it's so easy for me to live an interior life, on so many levels, that balancing it is crucial.
plus, you know, pagan, and all that. *grin*
good night, mayo. i hope you're finding magic and renewal all around you, too, in whatever it is that balances out your interior self.
10:31, thanks, I googled. I appreciate your literary bent.
You know "Dune" makes much more sense when you're drinking.
Yeah, I just realized that. And hell I read the book.
Worms, spice, ect...

Tell me a story...
What kind of story, child?
A story with a happy ending.
There's no such thing in all the world.
As a happy ending?
As an ending.
-Jeanette Winterson
Victorian novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton, in the beginning of his 1830 novel Paul Clifford.
"It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents, except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness."
I always wondered about "it was a dark and stormy night"
Here it is a dark and stormy day. Storms seem to be here for the next couple of days.
Hope everyone is having a good day, with or without storms.

Hey!! I like this...mind if I borrow it?
Hey gang, everybody good?? Just wanted to let Saintly and OPL know I am without internet at home (sad), but as soon as that is fuckin, er, "fixed" (um, aka:paid for!) I will check in properly as promised! Not forgot! And Ergo, still no building to move too or the money to do so. But our one little supporter is still game to sponsor a few kids. So we still have a future as far as that goes! And that is something! ;p Right? Right!? (Shit, I hope so!) Will let ya know if anything gets better than that. <3
Awesome to read the quotes, see the pics and stormy nights guys! (Hope that stays.) And Ray Bradbury is so The Man, just sayin. I really like those quotes 1:00/1:04. So need the thought of that, right now! Hope everyone is doing well. Mayo, you in on that Yo?? Just curious. Love to you guys, miss ya, be well<33
And hey, I'm sorry I cannot check in further here gang. I do hope everyone is doing well. Everyone. loves<33
anon at 2:37 that's pretty cool, isn't it?
Hey Lewis, take care. Talk to you soon.
Wake up Ergo....
good morning :[
I am not well. I think I have a tummy bug, but I haven't eaten anything so it's just making me feel very uncomfortable and blah.....
lol elena, I like how you are waiting for me in the mornings
it got me smiling :]
Sorry you're under the weather, Ergo.
Put something warm in your tummy and see if that helps.
I had some coffee, and I don't feel too bad, now I'm awake and up it's just annoying but it was bad trying to sleep last night
I have titoring this morning too, at least it's easy, and she gives me tea
Try to take it easy, Ergo. Can't have you getting sick.
I'm at work and very, very bored. I kept looking at the clock waiting for you to get up. LOL
haha you know my schedule, I had a little sleep in this morning too
how much longer do you have till closing?
Just about 40 minutes. Then I have to go home and pack. Fred and I are leaving on a book buying trip in the morning. I hope it goes well but a couple of the places we are heading were hit by tornados the other night.
oh dear I hope it goes ok too
will you be about later on a bit?
I am off now but will be back in about 3 or so hours
hope to catch you if not have a great ,safe, trip
and hi to Fred
Hope you feel better. I'll be around. Talk to ya then.
Hi Elena, in case I don't talk to you later, hope you and Fred have a safe, enjoyable trip for bookbuying!
Hey Ergo, sorry to hear about your tum. I know you're going to hate to hear this, but coffee's actually one thing you should avoid with an upset tum...but you probably already knew that...have some soup and crackers, whatever's bland. Hope you feel better.
Hi Lewis, L's been wondering where you were! Having no internet sucks; I was without while she was in the hospital, but it turned out ok cause I could come home and veg, and not "stress" over other things. Hope you're well, too!
L might be on tonight, so for now I'LL say hello and goodnight and take care!
xo

Hi MissT!!!
Mya!!!!!! It's good to see you (here)!
How are you?
*huge hug*
7:39 ~ YAY for Adam!!! Although, I'm with Mya and didn't think he was actually "in the closet". It is good that he's officially, officially "out the closet" now!
I have to run; but, I'll e~mail you later, Mya!
Elena: Tell Jake that Sandy Ann went to the vet for her check up today. She is in perfect health despite being a "very large girl". She is down to 75 pounds now! Don't worry, she didn't lose any of that "tail" Jake loves so much!
;)
Have fun ladies and anons!
Hi Mya
My back is better. Thanks for asking. How are you?
For Sandy Ann
Very Tired Jake
hello!
I don't feel too bad ,thanks everyone, though I am very tired
my friend made me toast with vegemite and tea while I tutored :]
J I know I shouldn't have coffee, but it was nice and hot, lol
apparently this is a viral thing going around too, a man my friend knows had it and doctor told him it just has to run it's course. I'd just like to have a decent nights sleep again!
elena jake does look exhausted
hi wendy
hi miranth
hi mya
Ergo you're back!
Do you feel as tired as Jake?
I think I just about do elena
I could happily flop in a sunny spot and ignore everything
Then that's what you should do Ergo. Just find a nice sunny spot and relax. Sunshine is great medicine.
well I am watching a show on the Shroud of Turin, near the sun. It's a bit hot actually in the sun
how long is your book trip for?
Just a couple of days. Actually tomorrow night we are going to stay at the casino, free rooms you know. LOL
Then the next day we are going to head out towards Jamesport. It's an Amish town.
you and the casino! lol
are Amish towns really like you see on TV? Are they friendly places? They look like they'd be more polite, friendlier and all with that style of values,
The Amish are very polite and reserved. IT's a lovely little town
1:49am, thank you, it comes from being oddly lent.
Your natural inquisitivity is well married with google-fu.
Elena, Safe travels.
Thank you anon.
I though it would be, that is nicer than the rushed, depersonalised cities
hi anon
Oh yes, Ergo. And it's so neat to see all the horse drawn carriages.
I'll take lots of pics to post.
*front door swings opens with a rush*
*stumbles in*
i can't believe i actually made it!
something's going on with the computer or the connection or i don't even know what, but it was dicey getting online tonight.
but at last: hi everyone. :)
Okay, Hiya girls! I'm not on for long because I'm supposed to be helping Dad with drywall, but there's this huge spider that came out from behind the wall and we're both kinda icked out..
Hi TJ
Hi Amy
Good to see you guys. Amy what kind of spider?
oh great I'd love to see them
you well anon?
hi TJ
hello AMy
big spider would stop me working too!
Hiya Elena, Ergo and Teej!
Elena, I think it's from the Genus Drywallidae, Family Hugeamongousae.
:S
Alright, I gotta run now, The spider is gone and Dad is hinkey.
Gotta go, I'll be by tomorrow!
hi elena, ergo, and amyranth.
the spider is probably more afraid of you than you it, amyranth.
Be careful Amy. Take care
Ergo Jamesport is Missouri's largest Amish community. I will have to send you some of their homemade noodles.
*ears prick up*
home made noodles? ooooh
Drywallidae scaramywithhairylegsii
Yep best homemade noodles ever. The town is full of Amish shops and English shops (that's the rest of us who aren't Amish) They have all sorts of wonderful homemade foods.
that's why I love all the towns over here, outside of the cities further you get away the more it goes back to home-made stuff, roadside fruit stalls etc and really friendly people
I just hope there was no serious damage because Jamesport is the area that had the bad storms the ohter night.
TJ
Where did you go????
I hope so too, I saw on our news they got video of inside a tornado, there is some big study going on this season over there
lol i'm still here, i just have nothing to add to the conversation.
Well then change the conversation, TJ
What do you want to talk about?
i didn't mind just reading along, elena. i don't really have anything to talk about. tonight kinda sucks.
it's just nice being here.
I know what you mean, TJ.
I really do.
thanks, elena.
so what kind of books are you hoping to find?
did you see my Banana 101 TJ?
whoa! I didn't even notice that!!
*happy dance*
*with bananas*
Hi, Guys!
Wow! Wendy's videos look great! She does a good job!
Anything that is interesting or will sell. Okay to be honest I like "interesting" better but if I don't find some to sell then I can't afford "interesting" LOL
Right now I'm drinking Starbucks Verona, life is good.
Did you get the book I sent yet?
Ergo
You used The Force, didn't you?
Hey Mya
Glad to hear your back is better, Elena!
i did see your tutorial, ergo, i took notes. :)
elena, it hasn't arrived yet, but i'm really looking forward to it!
there was a bit of good news today. at the shop, a cute guy came in and gave us flyers for the espresso stand that just opened up across the street.
oh yes. :)
Thanks Mya
How have you been?
Well, our whole was sick this whole past week with a bacterial infection. Everyone is loads better except me. I'm still feeling stuffed up.
HI Mya
our whole house is what I meant to say...
Hi, Ergo!
It should arrive soon TJ
Mya hope you feel better
I've heard of people getting their sinuses "scraped", but ugh! That sounds so painful!
My daughter and her friend just finished watching Becoming Jane and Pride and Prejudice, back to back. I swear, she would watch P&P every day if she could!
hey mya, hope you get to feeling better soon. it's no fun when you can't shake something.
makes your eyes water thinking about it
Thanks Elena and TJ. I'm sure it would help if I were to quit smoking!
Wow! It has really been a long time since Mayo has posted, hasn't it? Where's he been?
Oh you know, he's off being Mayo.
I'm just trying to decide if I'll want to hug him or smack him when he finds his way home.
