I have righted myself before you.
Pulled the knife out of my wound,
And shoved it back in yours.
Like you knew I would.
Like you knew I could.
Before I ever had a name
You knew it was there,
Everything for you
And you know it, and I
Know it still, the same.
p.s. who is driving who or...what?

«Oldest ‹Older 3801 – 4000 of 4731 Newer› Newest»TJ, think of the show as "a geek/nerd 'Friends'". The first episode I watched three of the guys were having a heated debate over who Superman's powers. It was priceless. I knew it was my kinda show!
Ergo, maybe one day you can come to the states and we'll get you JP.
Thanks, TJ. That will come in handy.
How was work today?
yeah there are so many things that could get into a country, but people still try to hide things, we can't take fruit and such into western australia either, they have customs beagles(dogs)that walks around the baggage area and sits if you ahve anything prohibited, it is so cute, and you are allowed to pat them, but they are "on duty" so they don't stay, they are such happy little dogs
that's on over here but I don't know which channel, or what time
should find out probably
how are you TJ?
sounds like an interesting show, l.!
back when i was active in the s.c.a., a lot of our events were held across the border in british columbia (it wasn't across the border according to our maps, heh). the first time, we were really careful about all the rules and regulations, and so when we were coming back home, i made sure to let the guard know that we were bringing back a bag of fruit that we had purchased at a grocery store in b.c.
he very dutifully took the bag to have it examined, and returned to tell us very politely that we could take the fruit across the border into the states...
since the bag was clearly marked "product of washington".
*facepalm*
and i'm doing okay, the day wasn't too bad, but the best part is that it's done. *heh*
Aw, little customs beagles.
Ok, this is completely off the subject but...
J. and I were talking earlier, and got started on the Trojan War. So here's a question: What were the Trojans thinking when they brought in that horse without at least, I don't know, shaking it back and forth a little, see if it made noise? You just fought for 10 YEARS with these people who suddenly disappear and leave you this offering. Despite the signifigance of the horse, wouldn't you be a teensy bit cautious?!
I think it would be odd to just go "hey look a gift!" and not be suspicious at all, maybe it had a gift tag saying "does not contain seeds, nuts, dairy, enemy soldiers, may contain traces of soy"
Maybe so, Ergo. "Oh, this one is fine, see the tag!"
I just can't imagine them not giving it the once over, and then dragging it INSIDE the wall, and leaving it unguarded. What did the soilders inside do all that time? What if they had to pee? or sneeze? Did the Trojans think it was the horse?
Oh, TJ. "Product of Washington". Well, you were being a good and let him know you had fruit. Even if it was from your own country.
Have you put the bolts down at work? Is it safe for the fabric?
the fabric is safe....for now.
actually, i just don't care anymore. i'm over my fabric rage. lol
listen, i'm needing some sleep, so i'll talk to you guys later, i hope! have a good night. :)
maybe they were all jedi inside
"you didn't hear the wooden horse fart, it was just the wind"
I didn't hear the wooden horse fart, it was just the wind"
ok TJ sweet dreams, hope you and the bolts have a better day tomorrow
That has to be it, Ergo. Jedi Achaeans. We've cracked the mystery.
And why didn't Menelaus just get him another wife after Helen took off with Paris? To send a THOUSAND ships and however many men to bring back one woman who doesn't even want you?
No woman's who-ha is THAT golden!
Good Night, TJ. Sweet Dreams. Talk to you tomorrow.
Good Night, TJ. Sweet Dreams. Talk to you tomorrow.
LOL, a double Good Night to you, TJ. The typo/mis-place fairy is strong with me tonight...
it did seem a smidge excessive
the thousand ships, not the two goodnights to TJ lol
mayo,
i subscribe to one of those quote-of-the-day things over at twitter, a pagan one to give me a bit of unexpected magic every day.
this morning, it read "if you think you can't, you won't". well, since i had been pretty much awash in "can't" for the last couple of days, this made me roll my eyes and stick my tongue out at my gods in best adolescent fashion.
but then i got online tonight and read that comment i mentioned earlier, and even though it was written from the viewpoint of a different religion, it still rang a little chime within me.
you know, last year i had this fantastic adventure, and i believe part of why it happened is because i handed the reins over to the fates, put myself in my gods' hands.
but you can't be open to being lead, to listening, when you're closed up in that little dark room in your head.
and even though i'm not on an adventure (or if i am, it's the slowest and most routine adventure ever, barring the occasional sudden acceleration and braking during my practices), i still want to open up my hand and have it grasped by my gods, i still want to open up my heart and trust that everything will work out, despite the ugly things i say to myself in my head.
ok, well, that's not easy to believe in right now tonight, but i'm going to work on it.
good night, mayo. i hope your tomorrow has lots of bright laughter in it. the sudden, sparkling kind, the kind that makes a day perfect.
Mayo
I am unable to be here tonight. It's a long story and one that isn't all that happy. But still I had to stop by. And what to say? Crap, I suppose honesty is the best policy....Miss you bunches!
Night Mayo
Elena
hey elena, for whatever it is *HUG*
it's not much but you know what's wrapped up in the word
Good Night, Elena.
I hope tomorrow is better for you. I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. We'll call you in the morning if that's ok. Take care of yourself. We love you.

I was wondering why frisbees got bigger as they got closer...then it hit me

spooky!!!!

Hey anon, how are you?
Ergo, you are sykik. Or you read a lot of mugs.
well I was getting stuff for elena's parcel so I was reading a lot of mugs at the time, it's not a normal pastime though
I had to share this pic with you guys. This is Pinkle, my bunny, asleep in his cage, using his stuffed monkey as a pillow. It was so cute I had to get a pic of him.

The first rule of frisbee playing
No thinking.
Just catch the damn think before it hits your face.

To send a THOUSAND ships and however many men to bring back one woman who doesn't even want you?
You know what's worse than that?
A man who spends years longing for his beloved 1971 Camaro
O.O
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – With the help of a $250,000 reward, the founder of the Papa John's pizza chain has finally reunited with the muscle car he sold years ago to help keep his family's business afloat.
Maybe the camaro was painted in 14 karat gold & had heated vibrating seats.
I don't know about Helen's who ha's or her seat.
I guess I missed you EP. I have to go I have an early morning. I will catch you some other time.
Goodnight everybody
He's going all out for this reunion. Own a camaro get a free pizza today.
In honor of the reunion, Papa John's planned to offer all Camaro owners a free pizza at stores on Wednesday.
A man & his beloved car reunited after 29 years apart. 29 years of loneliness, regret and longing....
Brings a tear the eye.

Mayo and SS
a combined goodnight tonight, with a joke for you both...
Maths Test
Paddy wants a job, but the foreman won't hire him until he passes a little math s test.
Here is your first question, the foreman said. "Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Without numbers?" Paddy says? "Dat s easy." And proceeds to draw three trees.
"What's this?" the boss asks.
"Have you no brain? Tree and tree plus tree makes 9" says Paddy.
"Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99."
Paddy stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a smudge on each tree.. "Ere ye go."
The boss scratches his head and says, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?"
"Each of them trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, plus dirty tree. Dat makes 99."
The boss is getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire Paddy, so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100."
Paddy stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Ere ye go. One hundred."
The boss looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!"
Paddy leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and whispers, "A little dog came along and pooped by each tree.
So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, which makes ONE HUNDRED!"
Paddy is the new supervisor.
Mayo
take care
much love EP xx
SS
have a great day
lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning

anon, so far we have a pencil topper that makes it look like ants are walking up your pencil, and some odd picture of a crab that you fold to make it "talk".
I have yet to open 'my' box
Good Morning Everyone
It is a beautiful morning here. I walked out on the deck earlier and the sun was just rising. It just made me realize each day we are given a new chance to start over. That is a nice feeling. Thanks to Ergo and L for the hug and the love. Silly but just seeing words like that help. Now I'm off to the park for my walk. I'm back to walking a couple of miles every morning. I'd gotten out of the habit but I'm glad I've started again. Walking is not only good for the body it's good for the mind. Take care everyone.
Is it possible that Mayo doesn't know what to say? Maybe he wants to give his condolences or maybe he has something on his mind. Maybe he misses some of the people who have left, but knows that if he even mentions them, then the "anonymous" ones (notice the air quotes), will start the harassment all over again.
So it's sorta social, demented and sad, but social. Right?
^ Mayo's Blog
Oh how cool. I just found author Joe Hill on Twitter.
The Breakfast Club.
That does sum up the blog these days honestly.
With Mya being the "basket case"
Nahh in Breakfast Club Ally might have been a basket case but she was harmless and not so mean.
then the "anonymous" ones (notice the air quotes), will start the harassment all over again.
Looks like "they" (notice the air quotes) did @2:28.
RIP Ted Kennedy
It's new day--new chances day thanks to elena!
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely...
hey you wanna make $14 the hard way
And 2:56 too..... and round and round we go.
And I observe.

Good mornin' ergo.

"Escape speed or velocity"

When "pull" equals "push"
And the rocket can swoosh
Into realms where there's no gravity.
Just a quick pop in..
This morning on my walk in the park I had a squirrel follow me. It was so funny. I was gonna take a pic but everytime I would stop he would scamper up a tree. Hope he's my new walking buddy..
Jake and Big E got into a fight. I have no idea why but they really went after each other. Now I know it's bad to get into the middle of a dog fight but I had to try to break it up. Big E is so old and I'm afraid he'll have a heart attack. Anyway I got them seperated with the help of hubby but poor Big E has a chomped up ear.
Oh and there are about 50 cases of Swine Flu in Lawrence.(not far from here)...
Well anyway I just wanted to check in and I'm still hoping everyone is having a great day.
cute poem anon
i can't take it no more
hi elena!
hope Big E heals up ok, maybe you'll have to keep them apart if you can
walking with a squirrel is so cute
and we have swine flu about, just be aware and hygenic.
I've gotta say I'm loving the pics frank has been posting on Twitter. Lizards and frogs...whatever next...viking kittens? The only thing cuter than the kermit sketch would have been a sketch of the Swedish chef.
Hi Ergo and Anon
I have to say I think Frank does some pretty good drawing. Kermit was cute maybe he could do Miss Piggy
He'd ham it up for sure.
he should do a coffee table book lol
In times of trouble, ask yourself....WWTSCD?
He should Ergo.
Maybe on the next tour he could do "drawings from the road"
as long as they always stop at restaurants that supply crayons
i like his new shoes even if they are made in a sweatshop. they look comfy.
Hey I'd send him a 64 count crayon box. He could do a lot of drawings out of that.
i think he better bring his own box of crayons. those restaurants are getting crayon stingy. only give you 1 or 2 now.
His meat bot needs a mate. can't have him playing with himself
all the time.
The new Hindenburg line...HAHAHAHA That shits hilarious!!
they hardly have places here that give crayons anymore
What's the Hindenburg line?
If only he'd had a few more crayons
diablo could have been his masterpiece
Still it's worthy of hanging on the wall of any red lobster.
no idea 6:49,
off to town for the morning
back later
take care all!

Feedlesteeks!

*snaps* work it girrrl
i had a crush on kermit when i was a girl. had him on my birthday cake an everything.
er.
i meant, had an image of him on my birthday cake.
not that i had him on my birthday cake.
it wasn't that kind of crush.
KERMIT CRUSH!!! ARRRRRRR!!!
Hiya Teej.
hiya amyranth. did i horrify you...?
No, not even close.
I had a crush on Rick Astley as a kid, but I didn't get him on a cake, just his record. :P
brb, phone
you go answer the phone, i'll sit here and try to wrap my head around a rick astley crush.
oh dear.
Kermit's a well traveled frog.
here he is relaxing in rome
to make up for amy not gettin that r astley cake
o_O
kermit's soaking up some rays!
smooooooth
O_o
Hey now, it was only a crush.
I was 3, he was 19. And british. It totally was never going to happen.
But I was gonna marry him, yessirreee... XD
it's never too late amyranth!
hello!!!
that's a pain Amy, maybe they sell preserved ones, like souvenirs? It's not the same as your own tree though
TJ
a kermit crush? lol I have the book "Miss Piggy's Guide To Life"
hi ergo!
hey, what can i say? green has always been my favorite color. :)
Ergo, you're right. I think I saw some around, I'll have to take a look.
Anyway, I'm going to run, snack and bed.
Have a good night girls!
good night amyranth. :)
cool Amy
sweet dreams
Tj now I know why!
You have a good day?
I went into town to get some stuff done
work hasn't been a lot of fun lately, but i survived. had coffee ice cream after dinner. :)
what didja get in town?
Mayo
Goodnight.
Hope tomorrow brings you much happiness. I really hope you smile from your heart. That is the best smile, you know. Take care.
Night Mayo

good night elena. sleep well.
goodnight elena, sweet dreams
I wasn't intending to buy anything, but they had the Hoodoo Guru CDs all reduced heaps at a record store so I bought 4, I had them on cassette originally
apart from that, had to drop papers off, which was the main reason I went in
sweet dreams elena, I posted a parcel for you today too
oh, it's always good to fill in gaps in your cd collection, especially unexpectedly. :)
yes it's a pain when you can't transfer stuff, though for my birthday I got a turntable that encodes to mp3 files, so I can do my vinyl, I have so much that isn't around at all any more
I am going to have a play with it tomorrow
oh man, that is cool! i'd like to be able to do that with all my records (once i get them out of storage...)
it'd be great to listen to some of them again.
I love compilations I had from the 70's through the 80's, some I owned, some I found in thrift stores, they often have the one hit wonders and songs that just take you back
yeah, they do. i also would love to hear some of the homemade mix tapes i had through penpals. i found some great german and english music that way. :)
oh wow that would be cool, weren't mix tapes just the best!
I remember sitting by the tv with my tape deck to record songs off Countdown (which was the music show we had) or listening to the top 40 countdown and recording songs, cursing if the DJ spoke over the start of it, or before it had ended
I still have some I made, that haven't been eaten by vicious car cassette players, Some I even spliced and rewound to keep them
they were so much fun to put together! and dj's who thought they were being clever were the worst: just play the song!
one of my friends made a mix tape of her favorite monty python sketches, and listening to that cassette in my room was my intorduction to them.
i still can't help but say "it's tattooed at the back of the neck" when some situation prompts my subconscious. :)
oh! and i just remembered that there were a couple of years there where i was making visits to my grandparents in california. the radio stations there played so much more of the music i liked, and i would make tapes and tapes off of kroq...even as we were driving back home. one of my cassettes is all staticky at the end lol
haha
if you can ever get it I highly recommend "Monty Python Sings" it's a whole lot of their songs, though just a tip, you do need to be careful when playing it, you do not want a 7 yo singing "every sperm is sacred" on her way to school
we had that! back when i was married -- the ex kept it as part of his collection, but oh my yes, that is not a song to be humming in the hallway. lol
they really were such a talented group...those songs, and that humor. man, that totally warped me. :)
I blame them for my sense of humour too, add in the Goodies and I had no hope!
Good Night
after them, i always liked british humor -- when i was studying in london, i was often the only one chortling at the jokes our prof made. the other students (all americans, as well) didn't have a clue.
oops, i should actually be in bed by now. thank you for the nudge, anon!
good chatting with you ergo -- it's always cool to learn that some things are universal. :)
have a good night when you get to it. :)
I'm the same, I grew up on british humour, and I think it is a lot closer to australian humour too, our comedians often do really well in the UK and Canada but not in the US, and I find american comedy a lot less subtle sometimes.
thanks Tj, sweet dreams
goodnight too anon, beautiful pic
mayo,
i had some time to wait after work today. normally i just would've goofed off in the shop, but today i went outside and found myself a bit of shade to sit in, perched on a curb.
i was hidden mostly, sitting between a security fence and a huge black suv. a small breeze touched on my face occasionally, enough so that i wasn't uncomfortable, even in the heat.
had my music on, direct into my ears. i just sat and looked at nothing much, listened to my music, and realized it had been a long while since i had spent any time with myself.
i used to be the kid who was her own best friend, out of necessity and out of choice. i even needed a certain amount of time spent in my own company in order to "recharge my batteries" (as i used to say). i'm not that hermity anymore, but sitting there today, invisible and yet a part of the world around me, i felt a strong sense of reunion.
i was sitting with a dear friend, one i hadn't had time to be with, what with work and schmoozing customers, and recovering from schmoozing, and trying to be a good houseguest, and working on that list of projects that i feel must be done in order to make this intermission in kentucky count for something.
i quickly jotted that all down in my journal (i carry it with me, part of my regular equipment), and saw how it fit with what i was thinking about the other night too. i need to listen, and i need to reinvigorate my sense of self by spending time alone, not hiding from the world, but participating in it outside of any roles.
i don't know if i can do that. i don't know if i will...if i have the will to truly shape my life and follow my heart.
but it felt so good sitting there on that curb, centering without effort, grounding without intent. feeding my spirit by simply being myself.
now if i can just remember it, and get back to it more often.
wish me luck, mayo, and have a good night, and nourishing tomorrow. sweet dreams.
I love the poems and lyrics you write. This one looks like you were hurt before and you aren't going to let yourself get hurt again. The person you are hurting knew you were going to hurt them all along. I'm not sure, that was just my interpretation of the poem.
There are a lot of comments so sorry if someone has already said this before, I would rather not spend my whole day reading comments to comment once.
If someone has commented that before, yay! We think a like!
I'm restless tonight. I have an uneasy feeling.
Guess I'm worried about people....
and I'm cold.
Hope everybody is ok.
'Nite blog. ♥
hi stultederky
3:42, hope you don't worry too much, and that you are able to find warmth. I'm ok, hope you are ok too
Mayo
are you well? I hope so. I was lucky enough to find some CD's of an old fave band of mine, reduced, to replace my cassettes. Was listening to them in the car and I still like them, Hoodoo Gurus, I've mentioned them before, but if you haven't ever heard them, look them up, "Like Wow, Wipeout" was a big hit, but I love "Leilani" and "Dig It Up" oh gosh plus heaps of others
Dig It Up - live in NJ
Artist: Hoodoo Gurus
Album: Stoneage Romeos
Lyrics: Dig It Up
My girlfriend lives in the ground.
My friends ask why she´s not around,
She won´t come home.
I´m so alone (you´ll never know!).
You can´t bury love,
You´ve gotta dig it up.
Yeah, you´ve gotta live it up.
I take her flowers each day.
I place them over her grave.
I want her back
Because I look so bad, so bad in black
(Like a maniac)
You can´t bury love,
You´ve gotta dig it up,
Yeah, you´ve gotta live it up.
Please, darling, come home to me.
Well, I´ll make you so happy, you will see!
I´ll paint your room
In pink and blue
(I´ll even choose the colour scheme for you!).
You can't take away my love
I´ll never give it up!
Yeah, I´m gonna dig it up.
(Don´t!)
(Don´t! I Don´t want to know!)
My girlfriend lives in the ground.
My friends, you ask me why she´s six feet down,
I can´t tell you why ´cos if I even try
I´d fall down flat on my face
And I´d cry, "You can´t take away my love!"
I´m gonna dig it up!
I´m gonna live it up, yeah,
I´m never gonna stop
With that loving cup.
Gotta fill it up.
much love EP xx
SS
how's your week been so far? Just because I'm in a Guru mood, this was one song that always made the crowd go off like a frog in a sock
I Want You Back
I Want You Back
Artist: Hoodoo Gurus
Album: Stoneage Romeos
I can still recall the time
She said she was always mine
Then she left (as people do),
And forgets what we´ve been through
(Does this sound familiar to you ?)
It´s not that she´s gone away
It´s the things I hear she has got to say
About me - and about my friends
When we´ve got no defence.
That´s her: I´ll never believe her again.
She might have deceived all my friends
I know they will see in the end
What it all means when she says (yeah!)
I want you back (She says)
But what´s worse: she thinks it´s true
But that´s just her (she always was a little bit confused!)
She´s not worth the time I had to lose.
lotsa love EP xx
goodnight blogbelieve see you in my morning

Hey Mayo.
Just stopping by to say, "Sup."
Summer's nearly over where I am. Fall is just around the corner and I feel like the Grasshopper who was so unprepared for winter. I'm just not sure where the summer went.
Hope all is well with you and yours.
Adios, amigo.
Good Afternoon, everyone!
Leaving in a few minutes to head off to my parents, it's family reunion time this weekend. Looking forward to seeing some visiting relative as well.
Traveling Kermit made me think of when Ergo took her Ray action figure on vacation and took the pics. Those were great. He had some pretty hairy adventures!
I saw Frank's drawing of the "Devil" lobster! He wields a pretty mean crayon. Elena, I think you're right. We should all hook him up with some crayons and sketch books. That coffee table book of road drawings could be a real hit!
Hello to Stultederky! Nice to see a new face. Come in and claim a room in the castle.
Wish, did you ever pick out your room?
Hey to Jennicula too. Hope you are having a good day.
In honor of not only the reunion this weekend, but my Family here:
Ziggy Marley's "Family Time", L.'s Musical Recommendation For The Day
Ergo (Loved the song links), Elena, (Hope Big E. is ok, bless his little doggie heart), Mya, Wendy, Amy, TJ, B.C., Jennicula, Paperheart, Anima, Martha, Miss T., Stultederky, m., Jade, KOL Anon(s), PJ, Gnothi, Anons, Lurkers and anyone else I missed,
Have a great day and be safe!
Love,
L.
Mayo,
Hope you are having a great day and thinking of when you want to have the reunion party here. Just whenever you get time, no rush.
Just let us know in time to get all our ballgowns ready. It may take half the day to get into those things!
You did get your suit cleaned, didn't you? If you didn't, leave it over the green chair in the living room, and one of us will get it to the cleaners.
Hope you have a great weekend,
Love,
L.
S.S.,
Are you ready for the ball? Got your suit? If it needs cleaned too, just put it on the dark blue chair. Not a problem.
Hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself. What have you been up to lately? Any good books, movies or songs to suggest?
It would be great to have another of your famous story/riddle/scavenger hunts. Keeps us on our toes!
Have a great weekend,
Love,
L.
Also, just letting you guys know that J. probably won't be on tonight, she has really bad pain in her hand and it's calmed, but sore.
But she says "Hi!" and she'll talk to you later on!
L.
Keep Rock'n and Happy Birthday b4 I forget

^Thank you, L!!! That was great!
Good p.m./a.m. Mayo, SS, L and J, Amy, Elena, Ergo, TJ, Martha, Mya, Stultederky, KOL anon(where are you and your wonderful links?), Wish, Jennicula, various muppets and anons!
How are you all, today? Good, I hope!!!
1:37 ~ KISS' "Heaven's On Fire"! Good choice and nice gesture towards all of us KISS fans celebrating birthdays this month. Thank you.
Paper: I hope you have a wonderful birthday!!! Did you decide on a tattoo yet, love?
L: PinklePurr is precious!!!!!! Oh, I love those little bunny noses! I, also, love "The Big Bang Theory"!!! Those little 'science geeks' can be so darn cute! Thanks for the song today (and everyday you post one)!
Have a safe trip to the parents' place and have a great time at your family reunion!
J: I'm sorry to hear about your hand pain. I hope it gets much, much better soon!!! Try to stay out trouble while L is gone. Well, at least try to NOT get the police involved!
;)
Elena: I hope poor old Big E is doing better today. What was Jake thinking? Was a bone/treat/toy or attention involved?
Amy: Rick Astley? RICK ASTLEY??? Well, you were only 3; so, I suppose it's excusable. Haha, that coming from a woman who had a crush on Spock when she was a kid. Who could resist those ears and eyebrows?! I never missed one of those Star Trek reruns!!!
MissT: Have a great time and stay safe (and comfortable) this weekend!!!
WARNING: A parable is on the way.
I've been feeling a bit nostalgic (again).
Hugs and Love,

Hi PJ!!!
Okay, here is that abovementioned parable with some life lessons (including a personal lesson or two or three...):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Wooden Bowl
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table.
But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter~in~law became irritated with the mess. “We must do something about father,” said the son. “I’ve had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor”
So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl!
When the family glanced in Grandfather’s direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four year old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?”
Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took Grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.
`````````````````````````
On a positive note, I’ve learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things: a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I’ve learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life.
I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life..”
I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.
I’ve learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, your friends, helping others when you can, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.
I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.
I’ve learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.
People love that human touch ~ holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Personal addendum:
I've learned that "learning" begins with accepting responsibility for my own choices, decisions, words and actions.
No one can take credit for my accomplishments and successes in life. By the same token, no one ~ other than me ~ can (or should) be blamed for my mistakes and failures.
I've learned to be just as proud of well fought defeats as I am of victories.
I've learned I'm still learning things... everyday!
Have a great day, everyone!!! Try to learn something good!
;)
good morning!!
hi wendy, inspirational words
hello Jen, I feel the same about winter and spring, we seem to almost be straight into summer!
hi L hope you have a good tome with the family
J hope your hand gets better soon
and L, after you read that good book, I hope you have a good time
Hi Ergo and thank you!!!! How are you? I hope you're keeping those chicks away from those "Hoodoo Guru's"!!!
;)
How about a little WOLFMOTHER, now?
~~~New Moon Rising!!!~~~
I loves me some Wolfmother!!!
Have you ever seen them live? I'm really looking forward to seeing them at Voodoo (not HOODOO) Fest!
JET was on Letterman last night! They played "She's A Genius" (or, 'jean E us').
:)
chicks are great thanks wendy
I don't mind Wolfmother, haven't seen them live though
I quite like Jet, but for me they sound good when they rock out, then have mellow songs that are just dull
back from my walk and did you see on the news they think they found a girl kidnapped 18 years ago!! That'll be an interesting story
Ergo, turning out to be a pretty different kidnapping tale.
Makes me wonder how many kids that were kidnapped are actually alive, and being held prisoner, or who have been brainwashed or beaten into submission...
it is very odd isn't it, Amy as it unfolds
is a shame though if it gives false hope to some though, I always think not knowing is far far worse
Not knowing is always the worst. Same with not getting to say good-bye when you know they're gone forever.
Speaking off good-bye, would you like a free cat? Hazel discovered Mister's GI Joe collection on the windowsill, and she's decided she needs new toys.
The casualties are immense. She even got Snake-Eyes.
oh dear, sounds like GI Joe is no match for the evil clutches of Ha-zell
wonder if she explained her plan for world domination before she attacked
She hasn't said anything to me, but when Mister gets home in the AM and finds his little display so carefully torn apart, abused and chewed on, he's not going to be impressed at all.
I don't even know WHY she's suddenly SO interested in them.
In fact, she took out Cobra Commander, Storm Shadow, several COBRA soldiers, and left one guy standing, to serve as a warning to the others I suppose.
I thought she'd gotten Snake-Eyes, but it looks like the Joes ducked just in time. :/
oh phew, they should be planning a counter assault on her right now.
but joking aside Mister is going to be pretty upset though, it is odd why animals do stuff, Tom appears to be in love with one of my tops I wore yesterday.
Can you think of anything that might soften the blow of the discovery, or at least make up for it a bit?
Can you think of anything that might soften the blow of the discovery, or at least make up for it a bit?
I can. But I probably shouldn't speak of it in mixed company. :3
aww, poor dolls -- i mean, action figures. they probably never knew what hit them. victims of kitty karnage.
hello TJ
hi there ergo, how are you?
Hello (again) Mayo, SS, Ergo, Amy, TJ, everyone!!!
Sorry I left so abruptly and without blowing kisses or sending hugs and love. I had unexpected company!
Ergo and Amy: That's a wonderful ~ and horrible ~ story about Jaycee Lee Dugard, isn't it? Can you imagine what she went through all these years? Being kidnapped, beaten, raped, forced to have this "man's" 2 children (the first when she was only 14), being forced to live with those 2 children in a tiny "compound" without running water or it's own electricity ... not to mention the "brainwashing" that ya'll were talking about.
Will this poor woman (and her two children) ever be able to heal from all the physical and mental abuse?
And, this guy was a KNOWN SEX OFFENDER on PAROLE and no one bothered to check what was in his backyard behind all those bushes and tarps??? Good grief people!
Can we put him UNDER the prison this time, please?
~~~Here's the story if anyone would like to read it.~~~
Amy: I'm so sorry to hear about Mister's GI collection! May they all rest in peace (and pieces).
Oh, great plan on how to get the Mister's mind of the GI tragedy!!! Don't forget to pick up a can or two of whipped cream tomorrow!
;)
TJ: What's new with you? Kermit, huh? Well, he had cute ears too and he's a lovely shade of green!
Have a great night, everyone!
Sweet dreams to one and all!!!
Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

I'm good thanks just had some lunch and about to knead some dough to make bread rolls
how are you?
So Frank is using the word "n!gga" and calling the one person who stood up to him "annoying simpleton".
Isn't that the same word that sparked outrage over Eliza?
And only one person calls Frank on it and she gets called a name in return.
Hypocrites.
hello and good night wendy. :)
i'm not too bad, ergo, i've been spending the evening thinking about the drive by show in september...i might be looking forward to it (a little bit lol)
i used to love that part of making bread, it always reminded me of wedging the clay in ceramics back in college. homemade bread is the best.
hey all, i'm taking a cue from mayo, typing one-handed. not very easy i can tell you. wanted to say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" to ergo, wendy, and paperheartxx all at one time b/c i'm lame and can't find each of your birthdates. :P
ergo, i know you've had yours last week, so there's one...
my apologies for forgetting but my thinker's on ultra-sloooooooow today. i've had a fuckload of pain med for my hand. this morning i wanted to cut it off at the wrist it was so bad. L put a pain patch on it that has 700 mg of lidocaine in it. baby did that feel good. add in my usual tramadol and orphenadrine, and its "wake me up when its over".
goodnight ergo, amy, tj, wendy, elena (hope big e is better), mayo, and ss. hope to see you tomorrow.
xo jen
it is isn't it, I love the kneading and the smell as it bakes is unbeatable (well frying onion and bacon may be on par)
What date is the Drive By show? I bet you'll have a ball
anon, I think it's an inappropriate word for people to use. I'm sure there are terms that don't have such bad historical origins that could be used instead, it's a shame he didn't choose one. But then there are some who feel normalising the word can remove it's power. Seeing as it's not used here it's hard for me to say if it would.
j., it's good to see you here! i hope your hand is feeling tons better tomorrow. sweet dreams. :)
goodnight wendy
goodnight J, rest up (I don't think that'll be hard) and hope your hand feels better tomorrow
one of the cooking smells i loved was sautéing onions in butter, and then adding minced garlic -- it was almost sweet! loved that,i would add garlic just for the scent alone.
oooh yes sautéed garlic is wonderful
just the smell of cooking in a house is so comforting, I often think people who don't cook for whatever reasons, really are missing out on such a pleasure
Hello and goodnight everyone
Thanks for the "well wishes" for Big E. He is doing better.
J hope your hand gets better soon.
Take care all.
there for a few years in seattle, my ex and i did some house-sitting for a couple he knew, and they never had anything in their kitchen but beverages and a few snacks. they never ate in. it boggled my mind. cooking for yourself (and your loved ones) is truly one of the pleasures of having a home. i totally agree with you on that, ergo.
Hi elena good to see you, glad big E is recovering
good night elena, sweet dreams. :)
here's his original tweet, to the person who actually repeated the word:
Haha RT @seriouscreep: uhhh just saw a girl post the phrase " twiggaz" to describe her tweet niggaz. GENIUS!
about 9 hours ago from TwitterFon
--here's his reply to the person who "called" him on it:
@thewrongshoes judges?....um sorry the judges are saying not racist, because it ended in the friendly -A and not the racist suffix -ER.
about 6 hours ago from TwitterFon in reply to thewrongshoes
and his final response to the girl referred to in the last tweet:
@thewrongshoes you are an annoying simpleton, i bet you tell people its not the heat its the humidity. I take pleasure in blocking you.
about 3 hours ago from TwitterFon in reply to thewrongshoes
thewrongshoes' account is now locked.
Mayo
So I realized that in saying each morning is a chance for a new beginning I was trying so hard to be positive. But sometimes the new beginning is just another start to another crap filled day. And still I try to think happy thoughts….
Hope tomorrow is a beautiful day for you. Pretty sure I hold out much more hope for your days being good then I do for mine. Oh well, that’s just how the cookie crumbles. Holy crap lately I have a whole cookie jar full of crumbs. Oh yes I do.
Take care. I miss you.
Night Mayo
Elena
well, i should be thinking about getting to bed, too.
good night ergo, happy kneading! good night again, elena (cookie crumbs are still sweet)!
sweet dreams all. :)
goodnight Tj sweet dreams
(rolls are shaped and proving)
mayo,
yes, of course i went outside. *grin*
it's almost my duty to soak up as much of this night sky as i can, after all, once i'm back in a city, there won't be much to see. as we used to joke back in seattle: "oh look! stars! dozens and dozens of them!" lol
however, regardless my future prospects for stargazing, it is definitely back to the city i'm heading. that's probably a smidge of why i'm looking forward to the trip in september, too, just to have another little taste of new york.
i'm not going to try to make a go of it in seattle anymore. i'll always feel like a seattlite (my blood will always be 54% caramel macchiato!), but i realize now that there is no room for me to make a fresh start there. my old life is crammed into every corner of the puget sound.
so i might as well try my hand at the urban northeast. it's what i always said i would do, back when i was a teenager in montana. it's time to see if i can cross that off my to-do list, and maybe i'll even find i have a home there, waiting for me.
but i've got plenty of time to memorize the night sky. i'm going to make sure i'm well prepared before taking my next leap.
good night, mayo. i hope you look at the stars once in awhile, too, no matter how many of them there are to see.
11:49
according to comments at another blog
Frank just has to be so incredibly nice to fans he meets and hang out with them after Leathermouth shows and those fangirls won't see him as a douche.
The same rules do not apply to the other members of MCR. GW, Bob and Mikey are stilldouches. Prolly because they weren't incredibly nice to fangirls and didn't hang outafter shows.
L O L
Talk about hypocrisy and annoying simpletons. Be nice to ME and you can say whatever you want on your twitter. I won't judge you or call you a douche if you do that.
It has nothing to do with free speech for them.
Unbelievable and annoying as fuck.
I don't think any of them are douches. They are grown ass men who probably don't appreciate people who don't even know them judging them, their families, their friends, every word they say, what tweets they haha reply to, and their lives.
I would get annoyed too if people did that to me on a daily basis. I'm annoyed for them.
Double standards just annoying the ever lovin fuck out of me.
someone got up from the wrong side of bed this morning
and didn't use their thinking cap either...
yay goodnight
*happy dance around on the rocks in the picture, skipping lightly over the little waterfalls*
Just a quick hello and note before I head off for the night.
Sugarplum: I've never gotten any of your emails in case you didn't read my last message. Yahoo was being a bitch eating my emails, argh. So, I have a new email, I'll send it to you at my new Twitter account(I deleted my old one) goodnight and sweet dreams to you. I hope you and your fur babies are well, and Bre is having a good time at college.
The trip to the South is still happening. I think next month for sure.
Miss T: I hope your twins are feeling better, lol. Big hugs to you, I barely don't see you anymore. Take care.
I'm done. Goodnight.
And Frank Lero turns out to be the biggest douche of em all. Bet he had to work extra hard to sharpen his douchebaggery skills to be a bigger douche than Mkey, Bob, and Gerard. Gerard probably won't be happy to lose his title of Queen Douchebag to the sugary, sweet, fan loving, asskisser formerly known as Frank Iero aka Frank Lero.
Wouldn't it be interesting to see what your "precious" SS or the almighty GOD, Mayo think about these asshole twats? Hell, we already know what Gerard thinks about Mayonaise.
Mayo, please tell us what you honestly think of Gerard Way. After all, according to Geewhizzle, you're nothing but some kind of attention whore. Takes an attention whore to know an attention whore, I suppose.
Right on, 7:52.
Takes an attention whore to know an attention whore, I suppose.
hello BC, sweet dreams
Mayo
so hows things? Have to say my bread rolls turned out great. I was going to use them to have if we go fishing/picnic or something tomorrow, and have sausages for dinner but they looked so nice, and I made 9, that I decided to make gourmet hotdogs, with our home made sausages, tomato sauce made with fresh picked cherry tomatoes, caramelised onion, a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese and mustard. Don'tcha wish you were at my house! lol
I'll save you some
much love EP xx
SS
having a good week? I hope so, it feels like it's gone fast for me, seems like it was only monday yesterday, But it's the weekend and we are hopefully heading out at least for a day, maybe fishing, maybe just picnicing but anywhere around here is pretty nice, especially in this weather. It's almost hot enough to tempt me into the water, and in a usual year in august that's unheard of! If you can join us I'll save you a bread roll
lotsa love EP
xx
goodnight blogbelieve, see you in my morning
♥xx♥
wish, haven't seen you, hope you're ok, take care
Who really cares what an old foogy like Mayo thinks anyway
To, Just like it sounds,
Oh hey there, bitter ex-fangirl (am I right, am I wrong? Did you come from VV's?) I thought it was only the little fangirls that expect the guys to be perfect and y'know, not real human beings with real personalities. So the dudes have attitude, deal. They're not perfect. They're also not as nasty as they could be when you consider how much crap/insults/nastiness/stupidity gets tweeted at them each day. Did you see someone ask if Frank got fat because he loved Gerard but Gerard doesn't love him back?
Did he then go and get all insulting at them? No, he just stated that he was sick, and the medication made him gain weight. A lot of people probably would've mocked them for it, but Frank took the high road on that one and was just honest about it. I don't agree with everything he's posted or think it's all haha-hilarious because it's from him, but try not to forget they have good days and bad days just like everyone else.
Sucka @ 8:49 life's so hard when you get nasty tweets from teenagers. Aint it? Guess they gotta deal too, or not read the computer screen.
I thought it was only the little fangirls that expect the guys to be perfect and y'know, not real human beings with real personalities. So the dudes have attitude, deal. They're not perfect.
*massive eye rolls*
Gotta solution to that 9:17. They should just block everyone, except their best buds of course.
The people who refer to SS as our 'precious' SS seem to have a misconceived idea about how we perceive him. Sure, if you judge him
solely on his blog I can see where you might get that idea, but it was when he was just hanging out with us here and commenting anonymously that his real personality shone through. We know he's not perfect, we know he can be a sarcastic little shit. We know he has dark humor, and he has shown us he can get pissed and frustrated just like anyone else. We know he is human, has faults and has bad days. He is loved by many here, not in spite of those things, but because of them.
So SS stands for sarcastic shit. Strange. All I saw were stories about sheep, goats, frogs and butterfly's named Albert Einstein. Which he sure ain't.
Frank / SS is a douche just like the rest of them. "Grown men" who are "sarcastic" don't need to use words like that. They also don't need to tweet about how someone's kids should have been aborted with a coat hanger because they ruined his viewing of A KID'S MOVIE.
He's a dick just like Gerard, Bob, all the rest of them.
Believe me. Maybe you people here don't know "grown men" with their "human imperfections", because even though you are (over)grown women you don't actually deal with real men on a regular basis and you idealized MCR. MCR takes the place of "real, grown men" in your lives and it messed up your perception of real men.
MCR are not good men with a few minor imperfections. They are mouthy, hateful douchebags.
Run along back to VV's.
10:11
What are real men and where do you deal with them?
You make me laugh so hard. LOL
Think what you like. Nobody here cares. People here consider him a friend. He has said and done a lot of things for people here that you would never see or hear about.
9.17 Sucka
What the hell is that even supposed to mean? I don't get my panties all in a twist because they're not all nice and sugary so that makes me a 'sucka'? Yes they can ignore them, obviously they do ignore the majority of them, but I should think there comes a point when anyone would say 'fuck this I'm gonna reply to that'. And so what if they do? If some teenager has nothing better to do than say insulting or rude things then they deserve to be put down for what they've said, imo.
Personally I was disgusted by the coathanger remark. It wasn't necessary or even funny, and being Joisey talk, as I've had said to me, is not a valid excuse, but I don't think they're horrible human beings, they just say stupid shit like everyone else, only more people get to see it. And they should be more careful sometimes but nobody should be going around censuring them-if people don't like it they don't have to read them anymore, or believe in the band as a whole if they don't want to.
10:33, you have got to be joking. They are getting pissy with people who weren't even being rude in the first place. Maybe they just struck a raw nerve, huh? And there is a difference between being "sugary" and being chill.
Funny how when Eliza used the N-word in the same context fans lost their shit.
Seems it's okay for Frank to do it as long as he points out that their was an "a" on the end of the word.
I wonder why that didn't work for Eliza?
I am still waiting to find out about real men and how to deal with them.
Hi guys, how are you all?
Amyranth said...
MissT, to clarify, I was NOT drooling, but Anon at 2:19 was right.
LOL, yeah right. *hands amy tissue to wipe up drool*
L, I hope you are having a great family reunion sweetie.
Miss T: I hope your twins are feeling better, lol. Big hugs to you, I barely don't see you anymore. Take care.
LOL BC sweetie. I miss you gal. We are hardly ever here at the same time. You always make me laugh though. Luv ya babes.
I had a great time in London. There's never quite enough time is there?
My feet are aching like mad and I'm off to chill.
I just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a great weekend.
Catch you later.
xxxxxx
good thing i'm not wearing panties at the moment just to get 'em all in a twist ^_^
Snap!
Real men exist outside of the posters you are way too old to be hanging on your wall.
MCR is the "Twilight" of the music biz, adored by teens with low standards and bored, sad older women who need a fantasy.
Real men exist outside of the posters you are way too old to be hanging on your wall.
WTF? Jeez, people need to get out more. I don't have posters on wall-never needed to.
I find it interesting that you cannot define what a real is, after all you were the one to talk about real men.
