4 weeks from Tuesday between 12 and 5 to fix it"

missjana ~ I saw that site, it looks like it's contributed to by different artists, not sure though I LOVE it! Right up my weird-sense-of-humor-alley!

rant - Work. Thats all I have to say about that. Its been so stressful lately I want to scream.

rave - If work keeps up like this I will move to the tropics and waitress. Leave the corporate world behind...

debrah when I was stressed as you are I always reminded myself of those who were not working. And I was in an unbearable situation. Now I am unemployed, the grass is always greener when somone is laying green in your hand.

Rant-#*!*# Ford SUV. Stupid anti theft device locked up my steering column. I sat in the parking lot with a stinky dog, hungry, whiny kids trying to get the dog gone thing to start. Dealership put me on hold. IF I had beer I would have drank every last bottle.

Rave-Kal's posts make me laugh.

Rave-It's my 39th wedding anniversary today! and still in love.

Rant-want to do all those years again (well, most of them). Don't waste any one of them, folks.

Kal Feb 13th, 2004 02:47 PM

buckeyemom Feb 13th, 2004 02:48 PM

Wow! 39 years. Congratulations.

Rant: I downloaded a new microsoft update and now I'm getting lots of popup ads that aren't blocked by my Popup Stopper that's always worked before. Oddly enough every one of these new popups say "microsoft" right across the top of them, but they are ads for all kinds of companies. Grrr!
Also with my PopupStopper, I need to hold down the control button when I want a popup window to open. In the second or two that I hold it down, I tend to get about three other popup ads that open along with it.

Rave: Life is good, the weather is beautiful, I'm happy and well and busy planning travel. What more could I ask for?

buckeyemom Feb 13th, 2004 02:53 PM

Patrick, I also enjoy the Pine Club. I found their website for you. You can order their steaks on-line. Doubt if they will taste the same. Anyway, here it is: http://www.thepineclub.com. Cheers.

Patrick,
"popup stopper"?? That's my nickname for my Mother in Law. #-O

Kal Feb 13th, 2004 03:06 PM

Guilty as charged. b(
"Let's twist again...like we did last summer...let's twist again...Twistin' time is herrrrrrrrre.."

buckeyemom Feb 13th, 2004 03:09 PM

What's next the macarena? Or won't you take me on a sea cruise....

Kal Feb 13th, 2004 03:19 PM

ahem...."Ohhhhhhhh myyyyyyyy love...my darling, I've hungered for yourrrrr touch....a long lonely tiiiime".

Now I have to go pick up the clay and the pottery wheel so we can do up Valentine's Day right! ;)

Oh. I forgot another rave.
I picked up The Beatles "Let it Be Naked" and it has a hauntingly beautiful studio version of "Long and Winding Road".
And I forgot how great "Across the Universe" was.
Damn. It was 40 yrs ago! Mrs Kals' gettin' OLD! :-o

GoTravel Feb 13th, 2004 03:45 PM

Now this post is going to get pulled because someone mentioned the 'Macarena'.

If I ever hear the Electric Slide again I'll lose my mind.

Faina, I'm a little slow at times. Off to find a cocktail! It's the bewitching hour!
