Members' News

Well my vacation ends today, I am looking forward to getting back to work but I bet I have trouble sleeping tonight. I did get my bathroom painted, that purple color stayed dominant until the very last inch was covered by my nifty new aqua color,and now that it has dried there are tiny little cracks showing the purple.

Jon has been out over the road for quite a while, he's been to Michigan, Washington, Utah, Maryland, South Carolina, Wyoming,and points inbetween and will be unloading in Portland, Oregon tomorrow. He wants to come home now, I wanted him to come home last week. Today we were married 18 years. Its been quite a trip!

My niece showed me a story she posted on FanFiction.net, called The King, the Prince, and the Minnesota girl. That girl can write. I just hope I can figure that site out well enough to read the rest of her stories.

My news is that I had to have an operation last Friday and I can't get the stitches taken out until next Friday... and it hurts! and itches. :cry:

So, that's the bad news...

The good news is my best friend has a new kitten and I know how to make chips! Life is good! :lol:

I knew there was I reason for my faith in Ba. No matter how many times I read these two statement, the get mixed into one.

............ kitten chips? :lol:

That's the one! Should go well with puppy-burger.

Mmm.... tasty!!

**sees everyone staring at her**

What? it's no worse than cow burgers. Just because puppies are small and cute... DISCRIMINATION!!! :lol:

God love 'em the bloody terrors lets see.I'm terrible at formal planning but loosely based lists seem to work well when confronted with kids (based on a friend who did uni with 2, I admire the socks off her)... From what she told me she makes lists, mostly in her head, of what needs to be done, has a priority for everything on it. Has the day planned does the critical things on the list and if stuff gets in the way non-critical things (like ironing, hubbie can go crumpled apparently or iron it himself) can drop off to the list for the following day. Shit can't happen forever, but trying not to stress the little stuff helps.

Although, planning is crucial if your trying to do uni with a baby. Do you have any free time in the day without the baby? Can your husband take care of her for an hour or so every evening to give you some free and clear time to study and do assignments? He'd also better be willing to give you some free time on weekends to write assignments and stuff as well... Although I remember you saying that he had to work a lot at the moment. Has things there improved?

I'll stop talking now

For some reason, I'm getting a feeling of deja vu .. I just feel you've said this before Spiky :?

When? Where? I don't remember saying. Now you've got me freaked out :shock:

I don't know .. the old board maybe? While reading it I felt that I had read similar advice before, and with the same riders .. coming from a friend etc.

Or maybe I just have a malfunctioning brain

I'm making no assumptions about your brain :roll:

However, it could be my brain malfunctioning. I have no mid-term memory its either the last 5 minutes or 10 years ago... I have no memory in between.

BTW we need an emotican for looking shifty, the roll eyes one doesn't work as well.

I've just been to watch the suckiest game of football ever, well for a while anyway. I could have stayed at home and shouted at the screen whilst drinking the glorious amber nectar. And to top the evening off Wycombe won.

Say it with me Bob

hehe 'Bob's your uncle'

....

Gah, Moving again. This time to Mumbai, just annoying considering im more than half way through GCSE's. Looks like I'm just not doing them now (on the bright side no exam, on the bob side no results) On the new school side, labtops are cumpulsory, and have to be a pretty high quality one too.

Is there anyone on the boards in Mumbai? I can't remember seeing anyone...

Oh well, now i have lots of wonderful school interviews and entrance exams to look forward to :cry: At least I can have fun with any coursework due before I leave

Ah, Colon... some fooballers should be sold out as firewood, or Pinoccio logs...they would be much more useful in that role than in the field.

I know that, with my team not playing in the Champons Lealgue for the first time in 9 years.

Plymouth Argyle is the best team in the world, ever.

I'm originally from Pune, which is pretty close to Mumbai. Ask anything you want to . Good luck with the move .. if you've never been to India before, then it's going to be a bit ... overwhelming!

Edited to add:
Hope you feeling better now Buzzfloyd.

Quick edits have started showing up as edits.

There, there, Buzz. I'm sorry you feel so rough. Have a virtual blanket and a cup of tea. Although I'm not sure if the tea would help!

For the sickness, trying sucking on icecubes; it always makes me feel better. .......and get down to that Doctor's as soon as you can.

Bugger work, it will still be there tomorrow - urgent or not. If you have to, better to take some stuff home to do than you ending up in a crumpled heap after one of your dizzy spells It mucks up their blameless their HSE record.

Maybe, but only after Rushden & Diamonds (I like the name ) and reserves of Dinamo Kiev...

Buzz, get well soon! :roll:

Well i baisically know nothing! I have lived in Jakarta before so it wont be as much as a shock as it would be comming from britain or singapore but I also know its completely different from anywhere. All I have is a crummy tourist book we bought when we thought we were moving there about 4 years ago and a website on my school.

If you know a good website or anything, or even just general info i would be most grateful.

buzzfloyd: feel better dont be bobish

Well, I'm sure you will find a lot about general city information on the net. I'll try to write something that will give you an idea of life in Bombay .. but I can't do that now. I'll try to do that today evening, otherwise definitely tomorrow evening. I'm flying out to California today, and it's a long flight back tomorrow so I should be able to type up something

dont worry, i dont move for 4 months! Thank you so much though, it would be a big help

Now you've given me plenty of time to loaf around

LOL

Grace, if you ever come to my house never lie on my bathroom floor. The last person to do that was opened up live on CH4 to try to ascertain which disease killed him.

Ivan. Dinamo Kiev used to be a top club with a superb record in the Champs league, what happend?

Ben, you smell of weasel feed. Wycombe are lucky and have a boxer playing up front, so shut it. We'll get you in the Semi's again and destroy you.

Yesterday I selected my courses for Senior year. I'm really happy with them.
But the school schedule I have is weird. It's a block schedule, so I have four classes a day, every day, for nine weeks. Then I do new classes.

Weird eh?

Anyway, starting on Tuesday I am going to be taking:

*AP psychology
*Novanet (A remedial online course that allows me to catch up on Geography and Civics and at the same time not have to be in a class with a bunch of little ninth-graders).
*Citizenship Issues Differentiated (a higher-level class).
*Journalism

then, come november, that changes so I will be taking:
*Oral Communications (Speech)
*Creative writing
*Science Fiction (Best class ever, I'm looking forward to it)
and more Psychology. It's a two term class. eek!

After Christmas it changes again! So I take four more classes:

*Pre-calculus (because I'm crazy)
*AP Literature (naturally)
*AP US history -- they think I can do it, I think they're nuts, but 'll just do some background reading or something.
*And for my elective I will hopefully be joining the school newspaper staff! Sweet!

And that little arangement doesnt change at all during the fourth term, except that I get a different teacher for pre-calc. For a reason I don't know yet...

if you got that, you're very smart.
I'm just happy I get to take all those great classes!! yays!! :supz:

(sorry, i think its a funny emoticon).

Alan Parry

AP = Awww Poorpoorbob

Angry puffin? :lol:

Alan Parry is a Sky football commentator who was a Wycombe director that had a section in the programme called "AP reporting"

Some of our fans call him "The Shovel Faced Gobshite", but rarely TSFG

WOW! Just found out, probably later than everyone else as usual, that Family Guy are bringing out a film on DVD. It's called 'Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story' and is available from the 24th of October. ROCK ON TOMMY!

Where can you download series 4? I wanna see it

Does everyone like Family Guy here? Seems a popolar choice of program

okies pokies.

Is it embarressing when your in the cinema and an advert comes on saying "Dont buy Fantastic Four on pirate DVD, its bad quality," but you have it at home and know its actually quite good quality?

And of course I havent got it. Nor did I buy it from Bulgaria, along with some others. :roll:

Yeah I remember you telling me that, I stillhaven't done it yet though.

AS for the Thundercats being in Family Guy, that rocks. Thunder, thunder, thundercats....WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAA 8)

Also I get the cinema free now because a friend of mine works at the local gym, on the same park and gets free admission and she stole a payslip from work so I could get it free too. So if anyone asks my name is Lee Patterson, OKAY!

Thanks for the good thoughts Buzzfloyd and Hsing, I'll be thinking good thoughts for you, too. I hope your ear thing clears up soon, when your equilibrium goes it can be scary, it happened to me one time when I was just home from a trip with Jon, I had to have my mom bring me a prescription, there was no way I could have driven.

I hate ear infections, I read that adults rarely ever get them, but I got them pretty frequently, at least until a doctor advised me to use rubbing alcohol to clean my ears, especially when I get water in them. I just pour a capful in my ear and wait a short while then let it run out on a tissue. I think moving out of that mold ridden house I used to live in helped a lot, as well.

Hsing you will probably accomplish so much more because you have your little girl to keep you focused that when you get you degree you'll want to thank her.

Hex's AP stands for Advanced Placement, the coursework is intended to prepare for tests that will get you college credit if you do well. They can save you months and big bucks and get you out of those classes taught mostly by harried grad students and on to classes with actual professors that actually have a bearing on your real life.

Good luck on highschool in the States, Hex.

My news is that Jon is in Portland, taking his mandatory 34 hour break and will be finally heading for home on Thursday, which means he probably won't be home until after my next days off . At least he is somewhere I have been and I know he'll be okay there.

Hex, good luck in your classes (my school had been threatened with block schedule, but never got around to it). Kudos on joining the newspaper thingie !

Ivanushka, hurray for Dynamo Kiev!

So yesterday we had an Independence Day.

Among Ukrainian rock groups was English rocker Sean Carr (hope I write his surname right) - future son-in-low of our PM Yulia Timoshenko.It looks like she is getting used to that freaky-dicky pervboy.

Mowgli - nice to see you back, hope your trip didn't avert you from your home city. Dinamo hurray, hurray. *weakly*

Colon, Dinamo is having hard times - we can't find our game since the death of Valeriy Lobanovskiy and transfers of Kaladze, Shevchenko, Rebrov, Luzhniy to the European clubs. But the biggest problem is team spirit - we've lost it when legoinaries flooded the team.

We have already returned Rebrov(did a mistake by joining Spurs), Vlad Vashuk, and are looking for a new coach. Otmar Hitzfeld (ex Baern Munich) and Oleg Blochin (living legend of Soviet and World football, current coach of Ukrainian national team) are the most likely candidates.

I don't think many teams could do with losing Rebrov and Shevchenko (currently voted the best player on the planet) Ivan bu it is a pity to see the great name of Dinamo Kiev not in the Champions League draw.

As for the draw I just knew we'd get Chelsea once we were told there was no country selection. Anderlect aren't the team they used to be but Betis are a top side so it'll be a tough ask to just qualify.

Group G:
LIVERPOOL (Champions of Europe)
Chelsea
Anderlect
Real Betis

PS: Good luck with classes Hex and I hope your feeling better Grace

Chuckchee governor's team will play against "You'll never walk alone".

You'll win, that's my word.

Anderlecht is pretty weak nowadays, and Betis shouldn't be a problem as well.

Aww, I just emptied my PM inbox and now it says "You have no messages" and I feel unloved. I shall join Bob in his sadness corner.

Did you even know he had a sadness corner? Oh yeah. He does.

EDIT: Hooray for sleepy_sarge! I am no longer unloved! And he got a cookie. Win/win.

Cookies? Hmmmm.... maybe I'll do that too.

All i can see is an orange (always oranges!) and some Ketchup.

"once bitten, twice shy"

Im surprised the oranges stay with us then :lol:

Hmm... oranges and ketchup... kind of like marmalade? This calls for an investigation...

**tries oranges and ketchup**

No..... really not like marmalade....... :vom: Eeeeew.... I don't even LIKE tomato ketchup... WHY do I do these things???

:lol:
