coffee house :)

[SolidSnake_19]

lol. I know what you mean, Grey. I've had a number of people to that to me also; It's almost as if they have a hearing problem or something. O_o.

[Helén]

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

*Puts both hands in front of her mouth trying to stifle the laughter*

*Can see it like in a comedy.*

Omg Grey dear! That was something! Reminds me of John Cleese and the dead parrot. I'm sorry, can't stop laugh. :laugh:

*Gives Grey a cup of plain black coffee.*

Here you go sweetheart.

But I can also understand your frustration over that deaf waitress. Really annoying.

*Gives Grey a big hug*

*Hops to get a moccachino, giggling like crazy*

Zo Zowwy.. :ermm: :laugh:

[Billie]

Been there.....More times than I want to admit anyway.....( LoL)
Don't give up though...Pretty soon you will have them 'trained' and then when you go in they'll either bring it automatically or say " The usual today , Sir?" .

[Grey]

why bother? it tasted crap! im stickin with the vending machine

[SolidSnake_19]

Knowing anything he/she probably spit in your coffee or added some weird tasting ingredient. ;) O_o

[lewdini]

I aint into coffee...I prefer tea

[sugar_junkie]

[lewdini]

Too much sugar is no good!

[sugar_junkie]

hehe :p wanna bet? sugar makes me happy :p

[lewdini]

Sugar makes u fat! :p

[Helén]

Too much sugar will mess up your whole system, it might get you fat and it can cause diabetics. I suggest you take the sugar level down a bit Tess. ;)
Gives Grey another cup of black coffee. (That tastes coffee and not coloured water.) :classic:

[sugar_junkie]

hehe,i burn the fat off in a way that is still a mystery ta me :p and i cant survive a day without sugar,soo.... :p

[lewdini]

*snatches the packet of sugar from grey* :D ha! :p

[lewdini]

: hands out packets of artificial sweeteners!

[Helén]

*Snatches the sugar back from Tess*

*Gives Tess a huge hug instead*

Hugs are healthier for you and it's enough with 5 big spoons of sugar in yuor tea. :p

[Grey]

dammit! oh look out the door, their's a sugar delivary. *points to large dumptruck filled with sugar*

*handcuffs Tess to chair*

[Helén]

Poor Tess.

*Steals the keys from Grey and is ready to unlock the cuffs as soon as the sugar truck is gone.*

*Grabs Grey and pins him down and sprays some whipped cream on his face*

Lookie Grey's got a mustasch! :laugh:

*Runs off*

[Grey]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *cry of pain shortend*

[Helén]

*Looks from a hideout at Greys silenced by chewing cream.*

*Giggles and runs again*

[Grey]

[Helén]

*Sneaks up behind Grey and puts a strawberry in his mouth and decorates his nose with cream and a cherry* :p :laugh:

[Helén]

*Stops Tess from hopping out on the street with chair and everything*

*Gets the truck to drive off.*

*Waits until the truck is out of reach and uncuffs Tess*

*Gives tess a huge cup of tea and a chocolate homebaked cake.*

There you go Tess.

[sugar_junkie]

[Helén]

*Takes a piece of chocolate cake and a cup of coffee.*

[Helén]

Thanks Tess. I love to bake, when I get some energy left over, which is way to rare actually.

[sugar_junkie]

[Helén]

yes you are Tess. YOu are very good with your hands. I have a very lovely bracelet and a realy great wooden sign as proofs of that. And I cherish all of it very very much. :classic:

*Gives Tess a giant hug*

[sugar_junkie]

awwwwwwwww...thanx nina :D *gives nina a bigger hugger hug back* :D

Hehe,there was one time,for our cookin exam, i left th epot on the stove too long and it started burnin :( lol then the teacher was slike whats that burnin?...

[Helén]

Lol Tess. At least you didn't do what I did one day. I forgot to put the lid on when I did pop corn. :eek:

*Blushes*

Well talk about popping.. I had popcorn almost all over the house, kitchen, living room, hall... They built the house without doors there so it's like very open... :confused:

Uhm. My daughter laughed like crazy. She sort off fell to the floor and hrm she got pop corn popping onto her nose.. well.. it was sort of.. funny.. :laugh: :p

:laugh: You should have seen the dachshound, Godis, she was here that day. And she loves popcorn.:laugh:

*Giggles like crazy*

[FaeLuna]

Wow, we didn't have nearly that much fun the one time my brother and grandma and I forgot to put the lid of popcorn we were making on the stovetop!!! :p It was mostly contained to the kitchen and hallway, and no doggie to be in doggie popcorn heaven! ;)

[sugar_junkie]

lol!! :P but the good thing is i got away with it but quickly takin it off the stove and outtin it under water,was kinda noisy tho :S lol :p

[Billie]

Speaking of popcorn...My oldest daughter decided to make the real thing (not the micywaved kind), She put the lid on after dumping in the corn and all of a sudden the lid flew off and clattered to the floor. She'd crouched down with her hands over her head screaming. Popcorn was flying everywhere:p We do have a black & tan dog named Sarge , but alas, He don't like popcorn. We were still cleaning up the mess 2 hours later, lol.:p :D :p

[sugar_junkie]

lol :p wunder when i'll goof up again and get the whole kitchen covered in popcorn ;)

[Helén]

Well. I do other stupid things too, but that was kind of funny at least. :laugh:

[FaeLuna]

Uncovered popcorn on the stove is one of the more spectacular, yet fairly easy to clean up kitchen disasters! My brother set his gas oven on fire making the Thanksgiving Turkey once... the pan leaked grease onto the gas fire and FWOOSH!!! VERY exciting, but MESSY to clean up! :o

[sugar_junkie]

yikes! lol,how long did it take ta clean up? just wunderin :p

[FaeLuna]

I'm not sure, I wasn't there when it happened, but he told me all about it and showed me the dead pans!! I think it took at least a day or two to clean up...

[hataz_gon_hate]

wow....messy....MESSSSYyyyy

[sugar_junkie]

yikes! thats a pretty looooong time :s

[Billie]

All this talk of food brings me to my next question... I wonder if any of you would be interested in swapping recipes?

[Helén]

Yikes Fae. What a mess!!!! I'm glad the whole house didn't catch fire though.

Why not Billie. We could maybe even make a thread to post our favourite recipes on. :classic:

[FaeLuna]

Oh yes, I like the swapping recipies idea!! I've been cooking since I was 2 years old, and I LOVE to invent things when I'm cooking! :D

*orders a decaf cappucino with cream and sits down to plot recipies...*

[Helén]

*Joins Fae, but can't think of anything really, for now*

*Orders a Moccachino*

Aaahh I can start the thread meanwhile, can't I? :classic:

[lewdini]

hmmm...maybe I can post some of my moms recipes

[Helén]

Yes Lew. Please do. :classic:
Here's the thread:

[FaeLuna]

Haha I was COMPLETELY lost for a minute there Lew, I had to go back a page to figure out what book you were stealing stuff from!! Sounded alarming out of context!! :eek: :p

*orders an imaginary low carb doughnut...* aaaah the power of imagination, yum! ;)

[Helén]

Lol Fae. And good evening. :classic:

*Get's a cup of minttea with honey and sits down besides Fae*

[FaeLuna]

ooh that mint smells heavenly!

I made herbal tea here in real life the other day, the scent filled the house, it was great! I need to do that more often, but I tend to forget we HAVE tea now!

[lewdini]

i dont really have a passion for herbal tea...i prefer tea earl grey hot!

[sugar_junkie]

lol i like my tea wif 5 spoons of sugar :D

[PhilipTarbuck]

Has anyone had a cup of green tea, yet?

[sugar_junkie]

ala,you can make dreamcatchers?? cool!!

[Billie]

Mind if I join you?...
(orders a double chocolate latte and sits down to watch)
I enjoy learning new things... I finally got that appliqued top you gave me quilted Pokey, and another top finished for Courtney, now it waits to be quilted next. :)

[Emidio]

*Exchanges the dreamcatcher with south american red macaw feathers!*

*Gives Pokey a huge hug because of the dreamcatcher....*

*Makes a photocopy of the dreamcatcher and gives to Tess :p * J/K

[Bookworm42]

Hello all...can I join you?
(orders a mocha latte and sits down)

So, Billie, it sounds like you like to sew...do you do alot of it? I've tried some quilting recently but haven't put my squares together yet!! Wish me luck!! :)

[sugar_junkie]

lol,ood luck on the quilt bookworm :D

*orders a mocha frappuchino* :D

[alapokeygirl]

Cool Bookworm. Quilts are easy, but time consuming. I have never bought a quilt in my life, have help make them all. My grandmother and mother both quilted, so I have been making them since I was about 12. My mothers' house has a king size quilting frame hanging from the ceiling. Before I moved, my mom, aunt and myself could quilt a king sized quilt in two days. :p

[sugar_junkie]

woah,hey ala can ya make dreamcatchers? just wunderin :p

[Billie]

Hi everyone...
Yes, I do enjoy sewing, the joy of the whole process greatly intrigues me...especially quilting. :D That and my music (piano and singing) are two important parts of my life. Now and again I even manage to put a few words on paper, but not very often.
A few years ago, I nearly lost the joy from sewing...as Pokey can verify, when we got roped into making new bed ensembles for a dear old friend... she wanted the whole works...:confused:
I managed to get my friend here to come over and we spent all night getting it finished.:)

Hey I think I need a refill...(orders another chocolate latte) and sits back to enjoy everyone's company.

[timz2rules]

*walks in quietly and sits down*

[alapokeygirl]

Oh yea, that was a sewing marathon nightmare. But heh, we got it done, and put all the stuff in her place for her. We were glad when we finished that one. :p

And yes Tess, I make dreamer catchers, and mandola's and assorted other native american types of crafts. :classic:

*gets a double chocoalte latte and sits at the table*

[sugar_junkie]

Coooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D lol i got a dreamcatcher in my room and a dreamcatcher necklace,lol, how d ya make em?

[alapokeygirl]

It's not that hard to do. You start with a ring the size that you want, it can be wood, metal, plastic. Then you wrap the ring (if it is something other than natural wood) with leather and tie that off. Then you use some sort of rope or thick thread and weave the web part starting on the ring and work toward the middle adding any beads or things as you go. Finish that off and then add your feathers and any other decorations to that. :p

[kellie]

We had to make dreamcatchers in grade four. Mine looked hilarious!

[Bookworm42]

lol, Kellie...when I studied Mexico in Grade 4 we were told to make these "ojo di dios" or something or other that supposedly meant "eye of God" and they were made by winding yarn around the center of two crossed Q-tips working outwards to the tips...now THAT was a homely project!! Of course, it might have looked better but we were obviously provided with scraps of yarn than no self-respecting person would have used! lol I was confused for years afterward and thought the Spanish had invented Q-tips! LOL :laugh:
*orders another mocha latte*

[kellie]

LOL book! Funny, all my projects I did seemed to look homely.

[Jake]

*grabs a coke rather than coffee as he dont like coffee and stits in a dark corner*

i've started a quilt.. have yet to even finish the blocks tho :p I also have done a bit of cross stitching (speleen?) i personally prefer computer stuff... works the mind a lot more.

[Emidio]

Hey people! Just writing to tell I'm still alive :) and that i went to a so great disco on saturday! PPl, check the site http://www.usinaroyal.com.br

The thing is AMAZING! The disco is the bigger of America, and it was built in an old Sugar factory, so it's so psycodelic! Because you can see some old machines decorated with neon lights and the OMG, the light effects are out of these world! There's an big wheel, in wich the lights are placed (they turn arround, 360º and in any color, intensity, type) and the big wheel that has about 10 lights of these, come down, and turns a lot! And the lights keep turning, and OMG. Each of the 360º lights costed about 500.000 reais. Something 300.000 dolars. The entire building and installations cost (shocking price) 3.500.000.000 reais... Or 1.000.000.000 dollars!!!!! The thing is just perfect, perfect people, music, illumination, all! OMG, I wanna live there, ya know? The entire ground shines (on the dancefloor) on a huge variety of colors. And OMG, it's perfect! Check the site, people. You probably won't understand the language, but check some pictures arround the website.:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

How are you people??? I keep studying a lot, but i still have some free time to post! :) I guess i got tooo much you know, woo-hoo about the disco and i got enthusiasmed... Well, you'll see me arround here...

*Sits, grab a donut and shut up*:o

[Bookworm42]

*eyes Emidio's doughnut with longing...decides not...diet time again!*

Well, I've never been to a disco but I did see Saturday Night Fever when it came out and was TOTALLY embarrassed by my friend who sat next to me and sang under her breath all the songs in the movie...the worst part is she is totally tone-deaf!!! It was horrible and people kept looking back and making shush noises ...at ME! And I WASN'T the one singing!!!! :eek:

*am so depressed at memory, that I end up grabbing a doughnut and shovelling it into my face! lol*

[PhilipTarbuck]

If I remember, the colour of the message is a bit better.
Your story reminds of my only wacking at school (not allowed now!!!). A neighbour threw ink onto my writing pad - not seen by the teacher. I tried to throw ink back but couldn't. That was noticed and I got wacked. That was my first taste of 'justice'.
I am thinking that I disagree with the slogan on your notes. Surely the good do nothing most of the time, don't they? Whoever they are?

[alapokeygirl]

Sounds like you had a really good time Emidio!! I have never been to a disco either.

[hataz_gon_hate]

discos are old...u should say nightclub

[Billie]

What has everyone been up to lately? I notice we have some more new faces here. How are you all doing?

[Emidio]

Lately i've been studying lots, and wondering when i'll have money to go to the disco again... And you billie, what you're up to?

[hataz_gon_hate]

nothing special...hello emidio

[Bookworm42]

Well, Philip, JUST for you I changed my color...I had just assumed that if it was hard to read then people would just highlite it to make it more visible...but didn't think of people that were color-blind....

As far as my quote is concerned...I'm not really sure where you're coming from but thought that the quote was self-explanatory, in the context that evil things will happen if good people don't try to stop the people who are committing the evil deeds.... :confused: (eg. kinda like in the movie "Erin Brockovich")

Anyway, to all the others here...Cheers!! Hope you're all having a great day!!

(takes a big swig of my coffee :)

[Billie]

Well I've been playing sims between docters appointments, in an attempt tp forget. Also trying to learn how to stop being the "monkey in the middle" everytime someone in this commune (house) in which I attempt to live in has a problem with another house mate.

I'm Thinking of starting a new thread seeking advice for the Krazed in communal living. (just kidding)

[Bookworm42]

Hang in there Billie! Unfortunately, "no man is an island, sufficient unto himself" but sometimes, one almost wishes they were....What's that old expression, "The more I see of people, the more I like my dog!" ...and sometimes, it feels like that but in the long run it would be pretty lonely and boring without others to interact with...but I understand how tough it is to be the one that everyone runs to looking for sympathy to their cause...you must have that aura of sympathy and warmth...as a friend of mine sometimes says to people that are too needy, "I'm afraid that you have mistaken me for someone who cares!"

[PhilipTarbuck]

Thank you for changing the colour, Bookworm. It is a good deal easier to read. The old colour was so hard I couldn't make out a word - sorry! 15% of men are red/green deficient - apparently it is a defective gene passed on by women to men. My grandson is also colour blind and slightly worse than me.
I am afraid that I dislike most, if not quite all, of these catchy sayings. I am particularly against that one that says everything anyone does has an impact on the entire world. I am perfectly certain that nothing at all that I do has the slightest impact on anyone at all. My wife will not come to terms with my deafness, which can be quite infuriating.
Dogs are far better than people. If they don't like you they tell you immediately. If they like you, similarly, you know it. Horses are much the same.
I have heard a story (it must be wrong!!) that the waltz, foxtrot and quickstep (and even the tango) are ancient and avoided nowadays. Is that right? I really should have continued to learn to dance. I have stacks of musical videos.

[Bookworm42]

No problem Philip...I'm just glad that you told me that there was a problem...as for your dislike of catchy sayings, I must say that I agree with you on many of them...and I, too, question just how much impact that I have on anything around me except for my family...and I'm sure that you have some impact on your wife and children too!...I just hope that my impact on my children/hubby is a positive one! As for the dance steps...I suppose that much of that isn't taught anymore ... everyone likes to "do their own thing" nowadays!! :)

*notices that no one is posting in the coffeehouse anymore*
*drinks some swirly blue coffee :p)

Well, why exactly ISN'T anyone posting in the coffeehouse?

[hataz_gon_hate]

does this count as a post? *posts*

[Colonel Froggie]

maybe.......thought i killed this one....

*posts*

[Bookworm42]

Nope, Froggie...just haven't posted for a week as ran outta internet time!! :eek: Anyone been eyeing your legs lately? LOL!

*grabs coffee and sits back in chair. Eyes Froggie's legs hungrily. *;) :bandit: :devious:

[Colonel Froggie]

I do have beautiful legs, don't I.......
But they aren't edible...

*refills his gallon coffe pot*
glug-glug-glug

[PhilipTarbuck]

Of course, they eat frogs legs in France and, maybe, also in Canada? We don't here. I don't think our frogs are plump enough, although our cats seem to think so occasionally.

[SolidSnake_19]

Hrm... frog legs are one type of "food" that has never interested me... :p

[Colonel Froggie]

yep....i'm more interested in freak potato chips than frog legs.....finally found one the other day.....has a hole straight through it, perfectly round.....
(that IS my hobby)
:tired::tired: :|

[Colonel Froggie]

I just go on, and on don't I.......what can I say? it's a gift.....:p:p
Seriously though, collectiong freak potato chips IS one of my hobbies....I dun keep 'em just get lotsa pictures...
:bunny: :tired:

[Colonel Froggie]

[COLOR=green] :dead: Think I might of killed this one again... :eek: but I need more posts so I'm just gonna kinda post here anyway............:rolleyes:

*slams down another decaf*
:tired:

[kellie]

Once I got a freak french fry. I saved it. Its probably somewhere collecting mold now

[SolidSnake_19]

I had mutated red Jello once... brought it to school on one of the first days... I forgot about it until I had to clean out my desk at year end and it had turned green with little white barnicles on it. :O It was pretty nasty. :P

[Simzer]

I had a potato in my basement once, when I went downstairs one day, it became a plant.

[Colonel Froggie]

That's why I don't keep 'em

[Billie]

Hmmm....

Potato chips, fries, & plants in basement...

I've got a bag full of flower seeds & bulbs I ordered, but am not able to plant. What to do with them....

[SolidSnake_19]

I once had a tomato that was sitting on the counter so long that it turned to mush, so only one side was round... it really reaked and looked gross.

¬_¬

[Billie]

That sounds like some ufo's I found earlier this week when cleaning out the fridge.

[FaeLuna]

Would that be ufo as in Unidentified Fuzzy Object? ;)

That makes me think I really SHOULD take a peek in the back of the fridge... but I'm scared!

[SolidSnake_19]

Peeking in the back of my fridge is like opening a door to the past. I swear I've had some food in there long enough that stuff was growing on the mold. O_o.

[Billie]

I'm glad i'm not the only one....;-)

[Colonel Froggie]

In the back of my fridge was a sticky gold substance...............Not sure if it's honey, or what,came from this little oackage with the label worn off.... but it's at LEAST 6 years old, cause I never put that package there, and I got the fridge about that long ago....:eek:

[hataz_gon_hate]

my fridge has high upkeep and i love it!

[Colonel Froggie]

That's good......I had to crawl inside mine :p

[SolidSnake_19]

If I crawled inside my fridge I'm sure it would avalanche down on me and I'd be stuck in there for a while. I really need to clean out all the mush in there. :p

[Colonel Froggie]

Mine's pretty big, but i had to remove the shelves, and they back of all the shelves was all sticky :tired:

[FaeLuna]

I finally mopped my kitchen floor at least... and cleaned out some of the old dead jars of pickles and stuff like that from the fridge... but it still needs a good wipe down... at least nothing I found tried to bite back! ;)

[hataz_gon_hate]

u could say im a neat freak...i cant sleep at night cause im thinkin of how to rearrange the furniture on my poorly decorated living room...

[FaeLuna]

heehee I dream or rearranging furniture too sometimes... playing sims helps me get it out of my system when I can't move big stuff around all by myself... but then again, there are SOME times when playing sims starts to make me REALLY nuts about rearranging stuff and I start trying to move it all by myself anyway!! (then my hubby gets home from work and freaks because I moved half the bedroom furniture around by myself!)

[Billie]

I love using my game to do my house to scale. It makes it easier to see if the changes I want to make will work out alright before doing the work.

[hataz_gon_hate]

but where would u get the right furniture?

[PhilipTarbuck]

I play games. That is all I do and and I am just about completely useless at them - but never mind.
I keep wondering whether I should use my Futon or not. It is downstairs waiting to be sold but I don't think it will be.
We have to move the television shortly because we are having a new door fitted to the rear of the house. We would have a conservatory (a conservative?) but no-one wants the house when we decide to go so there is no point in the extra expense.

[FaeLuna]

I guess if you like your futon you should go ahead and use it... we still need to sell off my old car we finally decided to stop repairing, so far the only money we've gained is the money we've saved by taking it off the insurance! :p

By conservatory do you mean a nice room filled with plants, like an indoor garden? Or am I confused and thinking of something else... Anyway I'm all FOR indoor gardens! :D If I had an extra room with enough windows I'd just make some shelves with boards and those concrete blocks, and set up plants on them for my garden! :) Whatever you do, I think what counts is you enjoy it. :D

[PhilipTarbuck]

In this country a conservatory means an addition to the back of a house consisting, generally, of a solid floor and the sides are usually all windows. The roof is also glass, as a rule. In most conservatories there are no plants, other than the usual house plants. A conservative, on the other hand, is a politician - quite a different animal.
I thought a conservatory was a place where they taught people how to play the piano. Very few people have swimming pools here - it is generally too cold for them, and they could be used only on a few days a year.

[FaeLuna]

My grandmother has what she calls a "Sun Room" in the back of her house in Florida, it sounds like what you describe, lots of big windows all around for the upper half of the wall! But the roof is a regular roof and ceiling, not all glass.

I've often heard of the Conservatory as a reference as a place to practice or play music. :D

[PhilipTarbuck]

My grandson looks as though he is going to be a musician. He plays with the local youth orchestra and is going to Vienna and the Festival Hall (UK) this year. He plays saxophone, but he never mentions the clarinet which he also has. It costs my daugther £75 a month for his music.

[hataz_gon_hate]

whats a futon?

[PhilipTarbuck]

A futon consists of two things. A purely wooden framework which folds into a settee (easy chair) or folds flat so that you can use it as a bed. The mattress does both things. It folds flat when it is a bed but then folds up into three when the wooden frame is used as a chair. It comes in single and double sizes.
It is a fairly simple object.

[hataz_gon_hate]

oh that....an uncomfortable torture device...

[Bookworm42]

LOL Hataz...we have one and I would agree with you there!! It is truly a hard and uncomfortable couch and an even more uncomfortable bed... Oh well, it is only in the rumpus room for the rugrats to use so while they suffer....I will budget for something more comfortable!! :)

[SolidSnake_19]

Yeah, futons are really uncomfortable. I've slept on a bunch of rocks that were more comfortable than one of those. :O

[Colonel Froggie]

I had a comfortable futon once.....it's a bunk-bed type thingie....
you see, the bottom is a futon, and the top is jsut a normal bed. And they make 'em in chrome! :p

[PhilipTarbuck]

My futon was very very uncomfortable. Like others, I found it to be as hard as a rock and we threw the old mattress away a few weeks ago.

[Colonel Froggie]

I can sleep on just about anything, if it's flat.

[Bookworm42]

lol Froggie...but I would expect that a frog would be comfortable on any old pad!!

Somewhere, some guy that invented the futon is being congratulated by Satan on a job well done!!! May he toast in eternity!!!!!

[Colonel Froggie]

Yep. :p

Can't think of much else to say.

[hataz_gon_hate]

i havent slept in a long time...

[Colonel Froggie]

Maybe you should. :p

sleep-- what's that?????

[Billie]

Something many of us rarely get enough of.

[lewdini]

Yup..sleep is actually very important

[suitemichelle]

Ahh! Sleep deprivation... that would explain alot of posts.

we had a futon once. It was great as lot as you kept flipping the thing. Only trouble was it got heavy and it wasn't a one person job.

[Sasile]

My goodness! Is this not one of the longest forums on site? It felt your posts just kept going and going and going (like that lil bunny wabit on tv!) :D

[PhilipTarbuck]

Within moments of putting my head down on a pillow I am asleep. It makes no difference what time it is - the middle of the day or the night! At present I sleep all night without any problems and I wake up as though I had never slept.

[suitemichelle]

I can sleep at the drop of a hat, too.and also always tired. found out that I have probably been anemic for a no. of yrs. Start taking a lot of iron. still tired but it's only been a couple of weeks... Have you had your blood checked?

[PhilipTarbuck]

I keep having my blood checked. My doctor comes back from holiday this week so I shall have to go to see him for the result of the latest check.
Modern communication being what it is - so beset by 'manners' and 'protocols' - I cannot tell you what my principal problem is, but I feel tolerably well, when I am wide awake.

[kellie]

My doctors house burned down.

[FaeLuna]

I'm sorry your doctors house burned down Kellie! I hope you doctor is ok though?!

I've had trouble with fatigue as part of my health problems and they kept checking me for anemia at the college clinic when I was there... I don't have anemia but I seem to have all the symptoms for it to make them keep checking. :p

[suitemichelle]

Any chance you have sleep apnea? It's also suppose to be very fatiguing.

[FaeLuna]

I don't think I've got any of the symptoms for that...that's where you have trouble breathing or sometimes stop breathing for a little bit, right?

[suitemichelle]

Yeah, I was thinking Philip's tiredness might be a result of something like that. Do you sound like a chainsaw when you snore, P.T.? keeping in mind these are only suggestions, I am NOT a doctor or anything close to.

[lewdini]

hey hey..which one of u guys have medical degrees?

[suitemichelle]

One of my sims is studying to be a doctor.... does that count?

[FaeLuna]

haha that's a good one michelle! We'll have your sim diagnose Philip!! ;) Of course, it'll be in Simlish and that's as hard to understand as medical jargon, right? :D

Please do get a thorough check-up at the doctors...even a stress test...
My dad used to do that before he had a major heart-attack. He then had to have 6 valve replacements done. Oh please, do take care of yourself... :)

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

Hey, Junkie. Welcome back to the forums. :)

It's because we're sitting around in the virtual coffeehouse having the conversation turn to all these heath topics. ;)

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

*knows very little about coffee so he's gonna order a Frappucino*

[FaeLuna]

I haven't had a Frappucino so I'll try one of these imaginary ones here, they're sure to be yummy! ;)

*sips her frappucino and smiles*

[suitemichelle]

And the best thing is the calories don't count. Make mine a triple grande okay?

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

So, *sips his Frap* whats happening, chickie-pies?

. o O (They should start selling cheese here too...)

[kellie]

Did you know cheese contains a whole lotta fat.

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

Thats the idea. Get everyone stuffed up w/ fattening cheeses and once they're immobilized, we will come waltzing in and just take over w/ minimal resistance. :devious: :laugh:

[suitemichelle]

not crazy about yellow cheeses, precious. wanting creamy cheezez.

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

*hands Michelle some cheese-flavored fudge*

Momma always says: "If you've got it, share it.":classic:

[suitemichelle]

eeeeeeewh! What's thes Oinkers? Are you trying to poison me?

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

. o O (Where's the shifty eyes smiley when you need it!?)

Immobilizing friends and family since 9/12/2003. :bunny:

[hataz_gon_hate]

this hasnt changed though...same ol same ol

[suitemichelle]

Hey Hataz, did you bring the coffee or are you drinking chai?

[SolidSnake_19]

*drinks pop* :p

[FaeLuna]

hmmm I think I'll try some of that cheese fudge...

*takes a bite and doesn't know what to make of it... so she takes ANOTHER bite... it IS cheese after all!*

[suitemichelle]

No! No! Fae, don't do it... one taste and you'll be hooked... and snake will feed you to the tiger.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bookworm42]

lol michele...she probably would...She is the Cheese Goddess after all!!

Beware the Ides of Cheddar!! She and the Oinkster are fellow compatriots seeking to immobilize and destroy the lactose intolerant...Beware their evil...

*nibbles on a some non-cheddary snacks*

[FaeLuna]

oooh pretty tiger! heeere tigger tigger! NICE tigger tigger... oooh what big TEETH you... *snap!*

[suitemichelle]

We tried to warn you. between the bunny goddess and the cheese goddess you have to walk a fine line around here.

[PhilipTarbuck]

My brother used to say "Do unto others what they would do unto you - only do it first."

[SolidSnake_19]

Who's the bunny goddess? :confused:

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

T-I-G-G-E-R T I G G E R !

Oh and shouldnt it be the Bunny God? Or do i have to worship YET another Goddess? Prolly mean me, Solid. :bunny:

[SolidSnake_19]

Oink's the Bunny goddess. ;) :devious:

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

Coming from you that sounded alright

[_CrAzzY_ChiKKy_]

mmmmm, the smell of freshly grounded coffeebeans has drwn me to this wonderful coffeehouse...

*sits down on the counter cause all the chairs are taken, and looks around inconspicuiously without careing about her speling*

[PhilipTarbuck]

I want a coffee maker so I don't have to go the coffee house quite so often. We don't have one in Hitcham, nor in Stowmarket - I expect the nearest one if 15 miles away.
Trouble is that I then have no-one to speak to but myself, and I get some very strange answers.

[suitemichelle]

Isn't it the unexpected that gives us the most joy? (yes, I'll take a double latte skinny with one sugar. Thanx)

[SolidSnake_19]

I'm so tired, basically falling asleep right now... Made the decision of renting ten hours worth of movies and watched a good four or five hours of it last night when I was tired... Grasping the storyline of a movie when you've only gotten around four hours sleep the night before is quite difficult.

[FaeLuna]

haha solid! I sometimes fall asleep after only about half a movie when I try to watch a marathon of them... and then I DREAM and mix together ALL the movies to make one HUGE freaky story and make up the ending! Sometimes it's TOO exciting and I wake up exhausted! :p

And I get strange answers when I talk to myself too Philip. ;)

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

Its so freaky! That you talk to yourself! How long have you been doing that?

[FaeLuna]

More often I sing to myself... but I tend to do most of my talking to myself in my head, I don't know how long... mostly when I'm setting up theories or arguements. :D Or imagining how a conversation with someone else might go... "But mooom, I NEED this book!" ;) ;)

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

I mutter to myself... I'm shy like that. :o :p

[Bookworm42]

Hmmm...it's hard to talk to yourself when there's nobody home!! lol Somedays it can be more fun to talk to yourself than to another person...at least one's inner voice doesn't talk back sarcastically!! O...can you tell that I have teenagers?! lol

*grabs a regular coffee and warms fingers on mug* It's chilly in here!!

[suitemichelle]

I yell at the car, when I'm driving alone. Mostly referring to the idiot in front of me.

...Actually I don't have to be alone.

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

The other drivers make you so mad that you have to repeat it huh? Poor Michelle. Next time try tail gating him all the way home. He'll learn his lesson, i guarantee it. And sit w/ your face really close to the windshield and keep staring at him in his rearview mirror.

[SolidSnake_19]

Pass him then brake-check him. :D Good way to get them in a rage. Not a good idea to do in L.A. or any other large city though...

[suitemichelle]

I didn't double post, there must be something wrong with the server.

[Bookworm42]

Hey Michelle...the server must have just wanted to get your point across!! lol

At this time of year, we must deal with all the combines, swathers, etc. on the highway, which can cause alot of cussing and complaining as one waits for them to crest a hill so you can pass them safely...Of course, having been in the tractor/combine doing the driving on different occasions definitely gives one the benefit of both sides of the problem...It can be intimidating having a big semi trailer come up on your tractor at a high rate of speed and hoping he gets by you before the next hill, etc... :O Of course, when I'm in my car I'm as frustrated by those slow-moving tractors as anyone else!! Talk about inner angst!! :O

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

a regular battlefield everyday Book?

[suitemichelle]

Oh Book! At last someone who understands. I've never driven a tractor in traffic but you'd think that was what some drivers think I'm driving the way they zoom around and refuse to yield to the bus' right of way.

[Bookworm42]

LOL Michelle!! Yeppir, I can relate to your feelings of stress!! At least in my tractor I didn't have 3o+ rugrats nattering at me and making me feel more stressed!!! And yes, Oink...it truly is a battlefield on America's highways...especially with people like you tailgating us and staring strangely through their windshield at us!!! :p

[suitemichelle]

not 30 kids.... only half that many and often only one or two at a time of seniors and ADA. tho there are days when it feels like that many. speaking of which it's time to go. Have a good day.

[PhilipTarbuck]

I did write an answer. If anyone finds it please return it to me at my e-mail address along with any food that may be necessary to sustain it along its way.

[suitemichelle]

An answer to what, Phillip?

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

*admits Philip* It'll be all better soon.

[suitemichelle]

you just need another cup of coffee. Here, have some of mine.

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

I need my TV actually... :cry:

[suitemichelle]

okay, that's fine. what are you watching? Do you want a latte?

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

I like my Blue Mountain Coffee, and it's sold in specialty stores. So dont worry about my coffee needs. I dont HAVE a TV, so thats why I need it. I left my old one at home when I moved. Gonna get me a brand-spanking new one tomorrow! :D

[Bookworm42]

Gee Oinkie...you moved...from home...Are you sure it was a move or perhaps a push from your parents that sent you on your way?! lol :p Have fun getting the new TV...Will you be the type of guy that has a "way cool" tv but sleeps in a sleeping bag in his new apartment because that's where all his money went!!? Like, groovy man! That'll be one gnarly tv!! :p

Lol...sorry having some sort of 60's flashback.... :O

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

What... sleeping bag...? If you mean that mass of newspapers in the middle of the room, then yes, I Do sleep in it. Not to mention milk crates as tables, desks, chairs, just about anything. I eat straight outta the can, and leave the trash in one corner of the room. Then in the adjacent corner is my work area, where I madly scribble together blue prints for my Ultimo Destructo Ray Machine and put together plans for domination of the local men's shelter! :laugh: :devious:

And finally, on the other end of the room, is the Santuary. It's where all of my games and game related items are kept. Plus my PC, cant forget about my Piece of C.... well you get the picture. Thats usually where I am, after a day of hard work, all hundled and scrunched up in front of the giant TV that I STILL havent gotten yet, staring at the hynotically enchanting swirl of colors displayed on screen. And since I have practically no monetary resources, there is no light either. Nor is there heat or even running water. A lone figure slouching, holding a PS2 controller, staring unblinkingly at the 54 inch flat screen TV hanging high up with speakers so loud they shake the plaster off the walls.

Oh, if only Mama and Papa could see their little boy now! Mwahahahaha!!! >8^D

"Lieutenant, are you having one of those hippy fantasies again!?"

"Yes sir, but they're getting less frequent."

Dang, and *I* am the weird one huh, Book?

[suitemichelle]

Figure out how to market it and you'll be wretch.

[PhilipTarbuck]

I think you meant to say '..a wretch.' didn't you?

[PhilipTarbuck]

I am afraid I can't remember what I was talking about - but then I can't very often. I only ever talked well on one topic and I am prohibited from mentioning it now. Well, not actually prohibited, but I can't.

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

What on God's green Earth are you two talking about? :confused:

[SolidSnake_19]

Argh! Hippy fantasies! Rainbows and gnarly daisies... Yay for flower-power. *gag* :p

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

Hehe! Poor poor whoever has to live w/ Book. Must be hard for them... :cry:

"Groovy man! Fight the government!" *shoots a daisy w/ his slingshot* :p

[suitemichelle]

oink, you bonehead. Leave the daisies alone.

[wmvwmvwmv]

If only it were that simple....oh yes and I'm back everyone


Back from a worldsims death

i hope enjoy my stay as much as you have without me

[PhilipTarbuck]

What, wmvwmvwmv (or whatever?), if the permission upon which are are dependant is that of your wife?

[suitemichelle]

*Mouth drops open and chin hits the floor*

[ManagerJosh]

[lewdini]

[Bookworm42]

*hands Oinkie a big bouquet of daisies for Michelle*

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

Well, i was planning on keeping it on the down low, but i guess it's out in the open now! Yes, Michelle and I are very much in love and we plan on inviting all of you to our wedding (no Book tho, i know she'll just be loud and LOL a lot)

*steals a kiss from Michelle* :o :lick:

[SolidSnake_19]

:O You said I was the only girl you'd marry, you lier! :cry: You haven't even seen our children. Little Oink Jr. and Gurt Jr. :o

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

Shhh! :eek: Not right here Gurt! We'll talk at our lawyer's office later.

[suitemichelle]

For shame Piggy. *slaps him silly* If you think I'd come between a man and his little ones, you got another think comin'. I'm not that kind of person. So sorry Snake... I didn't know. Give Gurt a kiss for me.

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

Come back Michelle! Dont listen to Gurt, they were children from her two previous marriages! She meant nothing to me. She wanted to get close to me for my money!

*chases Michelle down the street w/ a big bouquet of daisies*

[wmvwmvwmv]

Now now Oink, the way to a woman's heart is through her rib cage.

[kellie]

Don't tell him that. He would probably try it.

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

Awww, Kellie. You changed your signature just because of Mikey there? Awww, and it suited you so well too.

Kellie, mind being my first guinea pig? :laugh:

[Mike]

Did kellie have my previous signiture??

[suitemichelle]

[Mike]

hands michelle a bouqoet of roses.

Now Oink, if you want to butter someone up thats how to do it hee hee:P

[suitemichelle]

Oh thankyou, thankyou. I love beautiful roses, they smell so nice!
(I don't know who called me a super moderator, but thanks also.)

[Mike]

My avator is Sephiroth from final fantasy 7.

Why?

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

Oh...

Mike you shirtless pool boy! Stop trying to ruin Michelle and I's marriage!

*leaves a whole bed full of rose petals for Michelle and then calls the hitman* :devious:

[Mike]

What's wrong wit shirt less pool boys??

and marriage or no marriage, everyone deserves a little endulgance once in a while.

*leaves a trail of scented candles up the stairs, and leaves a note saying, 'hey michelle, it's oink, come and get me!'*

[SolidSnake_19]

Ew. Mental image.

*Takes a bouqet of roses and wings them at Oink's face*

Think of the children! :cry:

[OinkUsed2BABunny]

"Please, think of the kittens."

Tell that to Michael Jackson and Cerulean. :rolleyes:

[suitemichelle]

Oink, you are not shy.
