There are so many people with so little to say.

That's why we have threads like this.

I wish pigs could fly!

Why? So they can make the sky way smell bad too? :confused: :thinker:

Bulldogs are so adorable. There's this mama bulldog in the neighborhood and she is mostly white with some brown markings and very large brown teats. She had 7 pups recently and 5 were female, 2 male.

my random thought.....why in the world does my boss fire the good ones and rehire the dumb****s???? Now I have to spend the next week "training' a new manager....arrrrgghhhhhh. And just how many managers has the restaraunt gone thorough in the time I have been there? I am losing count :(

I have no idea why, but I tend to get very detailed when I'm describing something when I'm sick. My e-mails are all long and rambly this week because of that.

That does seem odd Rell. When I am not feeling well...I tend to not want to say much at all....
Hope you are feeling better soon :)

Too bad the Beatles are not a panacea for all ills. As George Harrison said, "All Things Must Pass." Add to that I wish all it took was some warmth to make how I feel blow away, blow away, blow away! I know I've said this before, but this is really on my mind.

The year 2004 was the boil, no the hemorrhoids on the ass of mankind. It was just plain atrocious. I hate 2004 and would never, ever wish the 2004 I knew on anybody! I wish 2004 was toilet paper so I could flush it away. I'm glad it's over, but let's just say events have had residual effects. I hate 2004 to hell and am truly delighted it is over.

Bulldog puppies are really adorable. They are intelligent dogs and make wonderful pets and watch dogs. The English bull terrier is a hybrid breed created by interbreeding bulldogs with terriers. The result is a weird looking dog with an anvil shaped head and a very strong, compact body. I think the anvil headed dog looks very strange. There are two male anvil headed dogs in my neighborhood.

I've been letting a friends' bad attitude get to me. She's a really nice person, but so much has been pissing her off lately. Unf. she doesn't do anything except complain - I suggest that she take action, but she doesn't seem to want to, she'd rather grouse. I think I have to put some space between us for a bit.

It's like Official Odd Person Day in my life. I was walking to the train to go home from work and this woman wearing a candy-pink ball gown and an (at least) 2 foot tall pink beehive hairdo came walking by. Oooooo-kay. I'm hoping it was an early Halloween thing, but you never know....

Then I'm doing my laundry and I went down to get the stuff out of the dryer and there was another guy down there and I smiled at him and he gave me this steely glare. Then he stalked over to the sink and turned on the water for apparently no reason and then stared at me like "I DARE YOU TO SAY ANYTHING". Then he turned it off and stalked back to his machines. I swear, I'm thinking "Ok, serial killer?" Straaaaaange.....

I have to go to a training session in Washington DC and I'll have to miss a show by a local Beatles tribute band that I promised my friend I'd go see with her. To tell you the truth, I don't particularly mind missing it because their fans drive me up a tree, but I feel bad that my friend will probably miss it now too because she doesn't like to go alone.

It's really odd, I have pretty severe larengytis when I speak today but I was singing pretty well at band practice tonight. I try talking and it's like "squeek, squawk, eeep", but when I sing it actually comes out ok. That totally doesn't make sense. I have to ask my band buddies about this one because I know they've experienced it too.

Hope your lary.....lari....lara....Your voice gets better soon Rell. Don't mind me. I've had a couple of wobbly-pops (beer) and the brain isn't functioning right at the mooment. triing to find a "screen capture" program to get a picture of Brandi's son Josh. I have to scan a pic., use program to cut Josh and brandi away from rest of pict. then be able to make a calendar plus post pict here for you all as i promised. I shall prevail.

Apparently this is not an unusual thing -- if you are trained in the proper way to sing, you can sing even if you can't talk because you know how to control your breath, etc. I remember reading Beverly Sills' autobiography and she said that she could always sing even if she had laryngitis.

Hope you feel better soon!

Read something on another board that I liked. Somebody called some entertainer a "sellout" and another person said "That's ridiculous. If you take it that way, we're ALL selling out. How many of us can say that we'd do our jobs if nobody paid us to do them?"

I know I wouldn't.

Diz, has anybody said, "baby you can drive my car!" Congratulations. Pop in a Beatle CD when you're driving to celebrate.

Some Boston bulls have bulldog faces and others have longer snouts, showing their terrier heritage. The Boston across the street from me looks more like a bulldog and her teats are black. Like in pitch black.

Well... that is if my mother ever allows me to take it out. I offered to drive my sister to a Halloween party last night, and my mom said, "nooo... it's okay, I'll take her. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet."

I was freaking out earlier this afternoon because my left ear plugged all up and I couldn't hear and was feeling vaguely dizzy, but I took a couple of decongestants and it's getting better. I always leap to the worst conclusions, no, not that my cold is still lurking around but that I'm afflicted with some sort of horrible illness. LOL

Hah, I had a really bad headache this morning and was convinced I was dying...I think I leap to the worst-case scenario too a lot of the time. I took some Advil and it went away, but not before I scared myself...

A few months ago, a relative had ear blockage and had ear irrigation by an ENT.

When I was 12, I had the same thing and just loved the way the ear lavage felt. Rell, you might want to have your ear irrigated. It feels good and washes all that nasty impacted wax out.

sourmilkpinky

Nov 02, 2005, 03:20 AM

hmmm that gave me a better idea....I can do my biker dress up clothes..the mid-calf black skirt, my knee chained boots, and lacy top under my vest. I really don't want this new job anyways ;)

Rellevart

Nov 02, 2005, 03:50 AM

it is all in the mind ;)

I have to go to two meetings at work this week...very unusual for me, and one of them is 'business casual'....what the heck? They pay me $3.00 an hour, what makes them think I can afford 'business casual' clothes,lol........I really should just show up in jeans and my Beatles sweatshirt ;p

That's kind of odd that they'd specify a dress code for a meeting that's different than your day to day dress code, but if they did, I'd stick with it unless you want repercussions. We dress "business casual" every day though and it doesn't have to be expensive. Just a pair of pants that's not denim and not skin tight and a top that doesn't have any words on it will pretty much do. I'm wearing a pair of black cargo pants, a turtleneck and a cord blazer I bought for $12 at Old Navy. :smile1:

sourmilkpinky

Nov 02, 2005, 03:54 AM

Well my regular 'dress code' is a red ugly dress covered in Beatle buttons, thigh high fun socks, white tennies...and red lipstick....I have been told I can just go in that....

I am sure I will find something to wear...it is just most of my wardrobe is either fancier or jeans/sweatshirt.....

I am just irked that I have to go to this meeting to begin with,lol. And to top it all off I am sure it is going to be a non smoking affair LOLOLOLOL.....and off the clock.

Sounds just like my wardrobe, Pinky! I just took a second part time job working at our school lunchrooms and had to go out and buy pants cuz they won't let me wear jeans! Pants? I don't own any - (well I do now). They're no where near as comfortable as jeans.

Women's trousers, yes...and not necessarily crappy polyester ones, I've had some really nice wool ones for work in the past.

You don't have to spend a lot -- I have a couple pairs for the rare occasions when I do have to "dress up" a bit more, I got a pair of black cotton twill slacks and they were pretty inexpensive.

Mind you, my usual wardrobe is jeans or leggings and t-shirts or sweatshirts..."mommy wear," lol...

maiden name." and after the umpteenth time of a snotty retort,

"what do you need THAT for?" i replied....."if you die, it goes on the

DEATH CERTIFICATE!" :angel4:

(the actual reason was that it helped keep records straight when you
have more than one patient by the same name....BUT, it does go on

I like interacting with people but I despise doing so as a company representative. I think there is a huge price in not being 100% who you are, especially when the alternative is representing a company whose ultimate goal is purely to make profit. There is nothing decent about that. What upsets me the most is how most corporations actually train you how to speak to people useing certain catchphrases and scripts. It is inhuman. It has the opposite intended effect. There is no sincerity. It treats the clients as if they were merely numbers.

Should ever be forgot.

To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow.

By god's mercy he was catch'd
With a darkened lantern and burning match.
So, holler boys, holler boys, Let the bells ring.
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the king.

And what shall we do with him?

I also wish I could work in England on a long-term design project or something. It would be cool to live in London for a while, like a posh area. I could always stay at Sally's, I guess, in the potting shed!

Actually Twickenham is considered a posh part of London but I am most certainly not posh myself though another Linker i spoke to on the phone once from over there said i talked posh :scream2:

Anyway you are most welcome to come and stay in my potting shed although you may have to be kicked out if I need to "use" it :devious:

I lived in Cali for over 30 years & have no desire to live there again. Not only because it's so expensive. The place has totally changed in the last 40 years. But it's a wonderful place to visit!

I lived in England for a while & would do it again, if I could.

Ahhh well, no place is perfect, but I think the potting shed might be the most affordable! :laugh5:

I can't believe the prices of homes there. A small house like I grew up in would be like half a million dollars there! That's crazy! I still like it, tho. Our family took a trip driving up the coast from San Diego to San Francisco. It was great. I would like to have seen LA and the Sunset Strip in the '60's, tho. I would like to see the house where the Beatles partied in '65. I would like to be a guest at the poolside gathering when George was trippin' trying to play guitar on LSD (was he wearing the little blue and white swimsuit, hmmm? I like to think so!)

And you lived in England too? That's just too much.
I can't take it. :cry5:

Many people thought the "find your school" website was funny, but not me. I have had stomach aches that were funnier! I don't like tricks and deception and that was how it impressed me.

The Boston bull across the street is very shy. If you're lucky, she'll let you pet her. She has black, I mean pitch black teats and she has more of a bulldog face than a terrier face. She's a very sweet little dog.

I wonder if there are a lot of US import cars in the UK.

Actually, there aren't, because American cars have left-hand drive because we drive on the right side of the road. They do MAKE US branded cars over there -- I think Vauxhall cars are the equivalent of GM over here - but they're made for the British market, with the driver's seat on the right-hand side of the car, designed for the left side of the road.

Last time Jim and I were in the UK, we rented a car -- it wasn't so hard to get used to the right-hand drive and left side of the road, until we got into a parking structure in Liverpool! Let's just say that it was a challenge manuvering in those tight little aisles -- I kept taking my turns too wide because my perspective was off!

A sincere "thank you" goes out to my friend at work today.
Although she is off this week (and gone to Vienna where she will see a-ha in concert), she asked another person at work to put a present for me on my table (as it's my birthday today), so that was the first thing I saw this morning when I came into the office.
And guess what she got for me? Paul's book "High in the Clouds".
Would've hugged her but she wasn't there... :rolleyes:

Nov 10, 2005, 04:38 AM

Just for the record, at no time in my life have I ever thought the world revolved around me nor would I ever want it to. The spotlight and I are about as compatible as Robert Kennedy and Jimmy Hoffa!

I would never want to be a hero. Luckily, there is no danger of that. 9/11 put me off to the concept of heroism even more. I'd like to think that being kind and going to bat for others was the norm and not something that stands out and I also like to think that kindness seeks no return.

There are loads of Fords over there. Paul's brother drove a Ford for some time. They do make different models. I drove a Ford Scorpio over there & loved it. I always wished they would've made them here.

& yes, Nipper's right! Vauxhall is the GM of the UK. So, there are some! :teeth1:
