My Puppy Got a Insult today...

feeds@yuku.com (2008doug) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:59:48 GMT

I took Babs to the vet today for his needles and to make an appointment to have him neutured, we went in and the Dr. said ...Well your not a good looking dog now are you...HOW RUDE!!!!!!! I couldn't believe he said that. Before we left he did say Babs wasn't that bad looking. I think he's a handsome little guy, what about you???

Overdrive

feeds@yuku.com (irishdec52) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 16:36:22 GMT

Does anyone else go into overdrive when they get stressed or upset? I've been in overdrive for the last week or so. I've been downloading classical music mp3s. I'm like the Energizer bunny who keeps going and going and going. How bad is it? Wellllllllllll....I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I now have close to 4,000 classical music files on my hard drive. Maybe by posting on here about it, I'll be able to get this stopped...at least for this time. I don't...

night owls

feeds@yuku.com (Raistlin) — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 23:09:54 GMT

So it is late, like after 3am here and we are up as usual cause we normally work late. I see we are not the only ones up at this time though. I was wondering what people do when they are up late. We watch anime on Veoh and Youtube and one of us plays video games. What do the rest of ya do?

Family Recipes

feeds@yuku.com (slverkriss) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 17:44:51 GMT

All the talk about what's for dinner each night and what to cook when we run out of ideas has brought out some wonderful family recipes from some of you. Which is great! And also, made me realize that though my grandmother had some closely guarded secret pasta recipes (that I can almost duplicate by experimentation), that I have no family recipes at all. I hadn't thought about it before. I literally have taught myself to cook from square one. I enjoy cooking so that is OK--but wow,...

Empty Nest

feeds@yuku.com (WeAll) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 04:36:47 GMT

Today we have a birthday dinner for me with my sons.(my birthday is actually later in the week) Tomorrow they go to their dads. Their dad will fly with the older boy back to college on Thursday. My partner and I go to the college town of my younger son for the weekend and his dad will bring him up on Sunday. We will meet to get him settled -- and poof! I have an empty nest!! :(

So in effect -- tonight - my birthday dinner is our last time all together.
:( :( :( :(

Just got offered some work out of the blue

feeds@yuku.com (silent2long) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 19:38:30 GMT

I got a message on my website from a music publisher who just recorded a CD at a recording studio here in town and asked me if I had been the singer who did the background vocals, all the studio owner could remember was the first name and apparently the person had the same as mine. I recorded a demo there for another songrwriter a few months back, it wasnt me. She wrote back and thanked me then asked if I had recorded the demo for a particular song and it was the one I...

Knockout Sausage

feeds@yuku.com (Black River Falls) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:11:50 GMT

The other day we ate a big Cumberland Sausage. It was very big and formidibubble and we ate it with mashed potato and tinned tomatoe.

Afterwards we fell asleep and woke up in the evening.

I think it must have been a knockout sausage!

Movies with heroic girlies in them?

feeds@yuku.com (Black River Falls) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:09:37 GMT

Our teens and littles are really really taken at the moment with the movie Nancy Drew, i think we like her because she is sensible and cool and good but still gets into an awesome adventures.

We want to try and find more films with heroic girlies in them, like good strong female role models who are teenagers who have fun and adventures. Not stuff that is sleazy or where they think it's cool to drink and smoke and take drugs or walk around with their boobies showing.

Cute Frogs

feeds@yuku.com (slverkriss) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 08:50:57 GMT

We have tree frogs around our house and yard. I love them because they are cute but also because they eat lots of bugs that like to eat my vegetables and flowers. Yesterday I heard one croak right next to me. It was nestled in a leaf, croaking. I've seen the little throats puff out when frogs croak on television shows but this was the first time I've seen a wild frog croaking right in front of me. It was as if he wanted to be noticed. I also saw another tree frog, this one part green...

Funny Little Bird

feeds@yuku.com (slverkriss) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 08:47:46 GMT

Yesterday I was watering one of my gardens when I heard a tapping sound. I black-capped chickadee had somehow gotten itself inside of a squirrel-proof bird feeder that had a few sunflower seeds left in it from last winter. Thankfully there was a way to lift the bottom off the birdfeeder so the chickadee could safely escape. I cleaned it out, too. By the looks of it, though, I will need to put out a bit more sunflower seeds! This is unusual since I normally stop feeding the birds around March....

Speaking of Food. . .

Do you all cook more when you have people to share with? My partner is on a business trip this week. I am usually really into cooking but as soon as he leaves, all interest in cooking leaves with him. I think that is because for me cooking means sharing and my son won't eat my cooking anyway so it is TV dinners and quick salads, etc. when he is out of town. But I wondered, what do you do when you are cooking just for yourself? I see this as a symptom of my lack of sense of self--perhaps...

My housemate's cat just headbutted me...

feeds@yuku.com (GreenSoles) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 05:16:57 GMT

...and broke my glasses. Snapped right across the bridge. :( And I haven't been able to find my spare pair for months. At least I have contacts...

Headaches

feeds@yuku.com (dragonlady47) — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 01:17:19 GMT

Here I am complaining of a slight headache because I had too much wine last night.... and how supportive my partner is... she gives so much sympathy and panders to me.... when actually she puts up with headaches that last weeks on end, and has to carry on. How sweet she is for letting me be so feeble when my headache is nothing compared to hers! And how feeble I am for being incapable of coping with a slight headache!

:)

Not been around much...

feeds@yuku.com (dragonlady47) — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 10:20:15 GMT

Hi

I haven't been posting much lately because I've been busy with other things. Just wanted to say that I have been thinking about you all and hoping things are OK, and thank you for replying to my recent message in Support for Support People.... I only had time to post that and not check out how everyone else is. But I'm catching up now :)

I'm back!

feeds@yuku.com (irishdec52) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:40:41 GMT

Hey y'all!

I'm back. It feels SOOOO good to be here. After almost two months, I finally got my new computer to the point where I want to stop messing with it and start doing things with it...like being on the board again.

Vista is so different from XP that I still have a lot to learn, but that can wait. Last Saturday, I had a complete system crash caused by a corrupt installation CD. I took it back to Wal-Mart on Monday and Wal-Mart which NEVER gives refunds...

I just noticed that SK has joined the elite 1000+ message team.

feeds@yuku.com (innerkiddie) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 14:40:24 GMT

Dear Friends,

SK has recently crossed the 1000 message barrier.

Well done!
