I'll take some, too, if you have any left over. :smooch: And for a good mood and a new iPod! :happydance:Feed the ducks.
I used to belong to a Stargate SG-1 site, and when people inevitably got a bit wound up with each other and disagreements broke out etc, the owners would remind people to put the computer down, step outside and feed the ducks. Do something real lifey, and not internet-related.
It's not a literal instruction, but just a reminder to get some distance and then come back refreshed
You know, I've realised how I've learnt to pick and choose my battles. I've thought about replying to a few things, then weighed up the result of replying, versus not replying, and chosen to not reply. Because I swear to Ayesha, I'm in a good mood, and have an imminent iPod arrival, and nothing and no-one is gonna break that mood :lol:.
I need to bottle this and remind myself of it once in a while :lol: onder:
I'll take a Long Island Iced Tea please... It's after 5:00 in lots of places, right? :lol:who's in?

I'm sorry your stomach is hurting, Linds... :console: You should get something to eat.
ETA: Sally, I haven't said ldhi: to you in a long time! :smooch: I hope you're feeling better today.
5 jobs??!!?? :lol:Hi Im Immy from sd-1.
Im crazy and wacky, and just thought i would say hello.
Im in the final year of my degree one more semester to go, and i work five jobs and watch bizarre BBC shows !!!
So anyway HELLO and I have cold feet must find socks.....
Sweet!Talula, I am all for going to the Hamptons with you! :lol: I mean, just think of who we could find! :lol:
Hi Vana! I'm talula and... hmmm... I am a graduate student who lives in Colorado. I normally work a research assistant, office-based job but for this summer term I'm teaching my first course on my own. My brain melts a little bit more with each passing day. I'm also a pet sitter and a catty owner (see avatar).Hi and thanks, 5x5! It's nice to meet you, too. About me...hm. My name is Vana. I'm a single mom with four kids, two of whom have special needs, so my life is both blessed and busy. I work several jobs, but mainly I teach piano and voice and run a music enrichment program for kids which I founded. Writing is my refuge, and a passion I am lucky enough to share with my older daughter. Okay, enough about me. I look forward to getting to know y'all, too!
Hey talula! Thanks - I like your screenname, too! ^_^
I think that when you said that with each new post, you understand more why she doesn't want to come back, it implied that you thought "we" were doing something wrong or at least not doing the right things. The only reason I bring this back up again is because, if you do feel that way, I'd be open for us talking about that, because I wouldn't want you to feel like you couldn't talk about that, like your opinion doesn't count.5x5, I in no way meant to cast you as the villain. I merely meant to say I understand why Mel doesn't want to come back. I didn't say I wasn't happy with the way things are here. But if I'm not welcome anymore than fine. I just think things are getting taken the wrong way and people are getting too fired up.
who's in?
I'll take some, too, if you have any left over. :smooch: And for a good mood and a new iPod! :happydance:
Did you see the little girl--Connie--on Britain's Got Talent? I watched the clip on YouTube and . What a sweetheart and what a voice!
Thank you, Vana. It's nice to meet you. I'm Meloh and I'm a recent college graduate in search of a great adventurous future! :lol: Right now, I'm spending the summer babysitting my 6-year-old cousin and searching for jobs in a state that is not my home. ldhi:
Sally! I wanted to say that I loved hearing about your meal and your lovely evening! I can't believe you're married and clear across country from where I'm used to you being! :lol:
And thank you, Linds. I'm glad your mom was nice for your birthday. And yay for presents and cheesecake! :w00t:
:doh: I knew I was forgetting something! for cooking your meal, Sally! That's waaaaay better than I can do... I'm still working on that whole cooking thing. It's overrated. :lol: I hope you get to feeling better as well... :smooch:
Nope! And I don't recall the joke right now either. onder:Make mine a... onder:. Ooh, grasshopper! . Did I ever tell you guys about my geek moment at the Work Christmas Meal, where I ordered a Grasshopper cocktail, because of Vaughn's joke? :lol: .
I'll take the rainbow looking shot thingy.who's in?
Nope! And I don't recall the joke right now either. onder:
So one of my students was in class today... with a laptop... and emailed me his assignment... when we were still in class. :blink: Soooo... way to pay attention in lecture, since you just failed your quiz yesterday. Talula does not want to have to flunk yet another star athlete, y'all. Some of these kids seem to not realize that I can actually SEE them text messaging and sleeping during class.

I was in class with my laptop trying up notes as she talked. But I was decent enough to wait until the break to come here and talk or go on MSNMNope! And I don't recall the joke right now either. onder:

aranoid:..I have not done that per se..but I have been in many classes with the laptop...sometimes not paying attention..sometimes working on other class assignments
:lol: Oh right.The one where he's cheering Syd up?
Vaughn: So this grasshopper goes into a bar, and the barman says "Hey! We havea drink named after you!", and the grasshopper goes "You have a drink named-
Sydney: Doug.
Vaughn: Well I was going to go with "Phil".
Hee, went looking for Scrubs clips on YouTube (mainly the airband/lip synching to "More Than A Feeling"), and found this, which sums up one of the things I love about Scrubs (and I know Meloh likes the show too, I forget if anyone else does onder. Given we're friends, it seemed appropriate right now.
