It's funny that I've never seen a 'real' mah-jong game in progress. Only on the internet. Good luck getting the hang of it, Jamie.

Reply to Still more things you don't know about me... in Misc JoeUser Forums

I like to have a 'don't fuck with me, I'll hurt you' attitude about me in a crowd. I don't know if it is a 'short-girl syndrome' thing. I'm 5'6 which isn't short nor tall, but I give off that vibe, especially if I am in a bar. Maybe its the alcohol in my system, but I don't have no time for girls clustered around cute boys or bathroom doorways. I'm pretty pushy in those situations. I don't hurt anyone, but I sure do get them to move ou

I don't know, Sherye... it seemed like a pretty direct post, with no indication of an oncoming attack if one were to disagree. Maybe the reason why it looks like he'll enjoy talking politics with some of the other people around here, is that he gives very clear reasons to his comments, and unlike some, can do it with a sense of humor.

four score and 100 blogs ago... in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Well, I knew that I write a whole helluva lot, but 100? 100 blogs of talking about my kid, my lovelife (or lack thereof), diet and health concerns, describing party nights, trying to talk politics, and a lot of movie and music discussions. And within the posting of 100 blogs, I've met almost a hundred people who blog here. Some stay, some end up leaving, bu

Thanks Muggaz. At first, I didn't know what you were getting at but when I reread I guess I could see your train of thought. Dharma, same wavelength today! Actually, quite often!

Reply to Farewell to Kurt in Misc JoeUser Forums

Not to mention what he chose to surround himself with. I feel for him; I always have, but what a fucking lifestyle to have while suffering from such mental anguish. What helped (music) hurt him, or at least, the shit that went with it all.

Are you going to be keeping a total of any extra money that you might spend between now and your two-week mark? (extra milk, unexpected items for kids, yourself?)

dharma, Actually, I just saw this today. I feel for you, and while I don't know what it's like to be separated for months without your partner, I do know what it's like to go for so long without getting any. Without being able to share yourself with someone you care for. Without having that connection. I can't advise, but I can say- hang in there. Thinking of you.

Reply to Farewell to Kurt in Misc JoeUser Forums

I remember the feelings that many of my friends had when Cobain passed away. I didn't really understand it. He was a celebrity. Yeah, he was an artist, but how could he really affect a stranger's life so profoundly. And then, a year later, on Halloween Eve, I finally understood. River Phoenix passed away, and he was a great part of my growing up. I fell for him when I was just a kid, when he was just a kid in 7 brides for 7 brothers, the tv series. He

It's All Been Done in Blogging JoeUser Forums

We’ve seen it before. Since I’ve been blogging here at Joeuser, I’ve seen more than a handful of people leave. Yeah, there are a lot of people who start blogs up, realize it’s not for them, and then just fade into the sunset. And there are others who feel that it’s time for the grand finale. The big production of goodbye . The funny thing

I'm too damned tired to think up an entertaining title. I've had very little sleep since last night, and thank god for ibuprofen. I am just anxiously awaiting bedtime... Kole has the day off from school tomorrow and we've got a free pass to go bowling. As well, we've got enough points to go see a movie for free. Now, what to see?

Every single one of you guys are the best. I just got home this second and it is just after 5 in the am. For a 34 year old, I did every one in my age bracket proud! The staff at my local hangout Link got me a beautiful plant, and my daughter's big brother, who also works there paid for my dinner and beverages. Amazing! If anyone wants to check out the menu at the link, I had the Carbonade Flamandes, whi

Wish Me A Happy Birthday! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Yep... 34. I'm not going to do much pondering over the previous year and years past, but will instead be grateful for the good things in life. Good friends, amazing family and we are all healthy and happy. I will celebrate with my sister with dinner, good conversation and dancing to Retro 80's music. It's going to be a great night. I got a new purse, and a

Reply to To Heck With the Food Stamps, I'm Mad about the Manicures! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Kole and I spend approximately 100/m Cnd on food and supplies. I actually like grocery shopping in order to see how much I can get for so little money. Our staples are rice and egg dishes, plus, I've learned how to make bread, which is sooo cheap. We eat a lot of tuna in place of red meat, and it pretty much goes with anything... pasta, rice, in sandwiches, soufles. Our produce that we get is also cheap and I've gotten her into the habit of thinking th

Reply to Tearful Day in Blogging JoeUser Forums

A girl who has been missing since October was found yesterday and it seems like our whole country is in mourning. Everybody had such hopes that she'd be returned, safe and sound. I feel so much for her parents, as well as her whole community of relatives, friends, teachers, and the people who have worked tirelessly to try and find her. It's amazing how many lives were touched by her, and the love of her parents.

I am really pumped to see The Village. It's release date (in the States and presumably Canada) is July 30th, 2004. The next four months are going to go verrrry slowwwwwly until then. M. Night Shyamalan can't disappoint. Most of his movies have been wildly sucessful, and all because of his amazing writing. Don't get me wrong; actors like Mel Gibson and Joaqu
