Corliss, thanks for not judging me.

LOL. I wear them for COMFORT, thank you.

I know I do sound like a lush, but I think I'm tipsy. On a Wednesday, too! Geesh. I made a strooong margarita and it went down very nicely. G4E - sorry about your tire!!! bummer! At least it was in the driveway and no towing costs were incurred. Birth scared the crap out of me when I was preggers, and when they found out there were issues and they had to do a C-Section, I was SO HAPPY!!! I am a big 'ole baby.

Oh, I'm sooo sorry for what he's going through. Poor little guy! You have a lot of good thoughts and prayerscoming your way! (yeah, prayers - they can't hurt, right?! lol) Keep us posted, and if you need support for anything (well, not MJ love - BUT ANYTHING ELSE you have it!!!

My good friend's mother was just like that, and still is even after hitting goal after surgery. Her kids missed some good pictures because of it. Me, I have pics- I just grimace and tuck them away!

I'm not sure of the details, but any surgery sucks with kids! I'm sorry that any kid has to go through any procedure and process like that. :eek: Shocker alert: I LIKED his music. I really did...then he got weird and I like weird quirky, but insane weird - not so much! And, in all honesty, I wish the VERY best for his kids, and hope that they turn out all right. Oh, Lord....what did you do there? You know who THAT will bring.

:thumbup: Yeah, growing up I never had Your Momma jokes, I always had My Momma jokes. No one out beat me. lol... I am with you 100% on the morals/higher power. That's what kills me the most. They act like they're saving some lost soul who needs it. Um, I'm okay, thanks.

I can't have chocolate near me, either! I wouldn't be able to do it! Yesterday I was craving some junk food and I had a medium shake at Jack in the Box. checked the calories later and it was 910!!! Holy crap. I try to stay at 1000 each day and that was most of my day. So, I had salad for dinner last night, and I was still over 1000, but not as bad as I could have been. If chocolate had been in the office - it would have been sucked down in one big bite. I never pb/slime chocolate - darn it.

***stopped clapping and grabbed trophy from Serenity, passed LilMiss and commented on her glowing skin and how radiant is she, then kept on running with prize***

I think a lot of the MJ-Hater haters miss the point that we DO respect their opinions, which is why I created a place to bash the guy. I didn't go into their love-fest thread and start preaching, cussing, and wagging my finger at them. What happened to that thread anyway? Is it that the tv/magazines/newspapers/radio/ covers that part every-fricken-time-you-turn-around? I don't like him, and care nothing about him resting in peace. If I thought his kids were reading this and crying their eyes out over something I said, then I'd feel a twinge of guilt over hurting THEM. Not his fans, not his memory, not his siblings, etc. Point is...I don't think the kids are reading this, and if they are we haven't said anything here that wasn't said hundreds of times over in the past 2 decades by the same media who worships him now. I needed a place to get away from it all, and honestly didn't expect people to hate ME for hating him. (Lovely irony in and of itself). But, damn, it's been fun. I like a good argument, I just wish they were GOOD. This stone throwing crap is getting old. Can we switch "yo momma" insults? Maybe that would freshen the arguments up some, huh?

So, an alive one? I think there is a rant on the Senator who cheated on his wife and ran away... There are tons on how awful Bush/Obama is... There is one on Oprah...and Rachel Ray... Is it really any better to bash people who are alive? Are they going to come on here and defend themselves? I know, I know...probably shouldn't bash anyone, but that's no fun.

I actually do believe in God...I just don't like it shoved down my throat. The best thing I've taken away from my own personal experience with God/religion is that everyone has free will and choice is such a wonderful thing! If I die, I really don't think I'll be tossing and turning in my grave wonder what the alive folks are saying. MJ is resting in peace. He's dead. He's either moved on to another time/space/heaven/whatever - or he's just a lump of dead meat laying - ??? (Did they ever figure out where the body is? Last I heard that was an issue...) Anywhooooo. Rita, as for the band - I have a friend in the same boat. She wants the band, but doesn't have cash, doesn't have credit, and doesn't have insurance. Right now she's counting calories, and I'm really hoping she can do it. I couldn't do it, but I know others are stronger than I am.

What does that even mean?! Pass the hookah, maybe I will get it.

Oooh! Me, first! Oh, no...it's not used, is it? Oh, gee. I'll have MaCauley Caulkin fighting me for it. Um, yeah! To quote the wise words of one random poster from this thread: "screw you!" Yes, yes...rot in hell pedophiles. If I pray that they all go to hell, and the sympathizers all pray that he "rest in peace" then what? Does my prayer go unanswered and ignored? Or, if I pray MORE that he go to hell, will that make God go, "All right! Geez...just leave me alone." ???? I dunno...are you gonna get all biblical on my ass? :thumbdown: I say, c'mon in...the water's warm! (You can just sit there nicely and polish your "Last Person to Post Wins" trophy before I take it back! :w00t:)

whew...I was worried!

Yes! I used to HAVE to color code my under garments (still do undies, tmi, I know!) But, since I got a proper fitting bra about 6 months ago, I wear only the nuetral BOULDER HOLDERS! :sad: They're not the pretty lacey things I like, but oh, well - they feel sooo much better. Now I have to work on that purse strap, since I do carry my kitchen sink in there.... Me, too! I love the "it takes a village" concept. I wish more parents would subscribe to that. My friend would correct my DD and then turn to me and say "sorry". I always said, "I'm not the only influence in her life. I could be wrong - please correct her, and me!" :mad: Thanks! I do hate that crap. "I wasn't attacking anyone..." Bullsh!t.

Ya know...between my heavy purse and bra straps, my shoulders look like the back of a horse!

.............................

I'm speechless! What an f'ing brat. I'd send the mom a bill for the $800, and maybe "discount" the first $400 as an accident. Wow...still...no way. Unbelievable. I hate bad parents. Sometimes I feel bad that I never let DD be really free and wild like some of her friends are, but I could never stand bratty kids. The world DOES NOT revolve around a child, otherwise kids will grow up thinking that. :mad2: It's the best! I was going to say woohoo!...then I read below. So sorry! I am also SO over my house being on the market. I hate having to be clean and neat all the damn time because someone may come in and peruse my home. :mad: Hate it! Fingers crossed for ya! And, yes...nekkid bonfires can cure any slump. PJTP - I had jury duty downtown yesterday...got all the way to jury selection and was ousted at the last minute. It was a domestic abuse case, and I really wanted it. I can be impartial, I'm not all about hating the man. DH's ex-wife lied about him hitting her. One time he was returning meds to her after they split. She told him to meet her at her parents house and when he showed up, the police were there waiting for him. She'd told him that he'd threatened her and was on his way to hurt her. He was in cuffs while they went over his story - and he had the meds there to prove it, and they ended up believing him. But, if they didn't believe him, he'd have been in that defendant seat. On the other hand, if he DID do it, fry him. So, it's back to normal today. Whatever "normal" means!

I am clapping!

I have posted before what a horrible witch my mother is...but she's still my mom. I have been chanting that in my head for a long time. She's still my mom...she's still my mom... But, now I'm getting more and more disgusted with myself for allowing her to have so much control over my emotions. I want to break up with her, but I don't know how. Her latest ploy was to not talk to me for 2 weeks after I got a chihuahua. She doesn't like them, so she didn't answer my emails, calls or anything. So, I stopped communicating with her, and she called me because she needed money for my step-father's birthday dinner. I have a van in my name that she pays for. I imagine I'd just have her mail me the check each month. I carry the insurance, and I pay for her cell phone. I was thinking in the letter outlying what the cost would be to her, detailing the car payments, insurance costs, and cell phone bill for her. In addition to that, she'd also have to start paying for the tires we bought her a few months ago, and the money I loaned her for her house. I don't think she can actually DO those payments, since she skips payments every now and then - the pool man MUST get paid, she says - but if she could just do something and mail it by the ___ of every month, I'd be happy. Has anyone ever severed ties with their parent, and how do you do it? I was thinking of a letter, or a phone call...I dunno. I just know my life would be less stressful with her gone, not to mention more financially sound.

I have seen an emergency vehicle just push a car that was sitting in the emergency lane out of the way. I LOVE that. I wish more emergency vehicles would just side swipe a few of the people putzing along and not moving!

God love ya Kat, thank you. Its funny how many are so quick to throw out bible quotes while looking down their noses on my opinions/anger/venting. If they trully practiced what they preach, they'd shut up and pray. We all have stones to throw, I think some just don't know it.

Soooo....PJTP. It's Friday...and toward the end, and I'm leaving soon! And, I'm freezing! Why, when it's over 100 outside, does management feel it's good to crank a/c to 60? There is a medium people....FIND IT.

:tongue_smilie: No crickets! That's the elliptical "swishing". I've been going each night (not last night, though) to the gym. I've started to do arms every other night. I do reps of that and then do about 20 - 30 mins on either the treadmill or the elliptical. It's boring, though, I hate every minute of it...but I keep plugging!
