It just wasn't meant to be for you this year, Ock. It wasn't meant to be for my Dave this year, either. You'll make it next year, though. I have faith in you. In the meantime, I am sorry for your disappointment.
Gosh, Elie. I'm sorry. I can only hope that he realizes (SOON) that he's not solving anything by running away from it and that he's going to have to face the music sometime. As you know, it'll be better for him to return now rather than later. Article 86 is more common than Art.85, and when I was over at legal we threw at 87 at guys a fair bit too. The best he can hope for is Art 86, AWOL. I'll be praying that he doesn't get charged with desertion.
Being the knitting snob that I am, I get really aggrivated when someone sees me knitting and says 'ooh, I wish I knew how to crochet!'. They usually look very surprised when I tell them it's knitting. I knit all over the place, but I've found that the Metro and restaurants are the best places to have people watch you knit. I love to have people watch me knit, not because it feels like they're adoring me, but because the look of fascination on their faces when they see what
Our temp is at 93 right now with a heat index of 101 There's the rub - the heat index. It can be 93, but the heat index makes it FEEL a darn sight more than that. Mind you, 93 degrees is hot enough. I'd be happy with 85 - year round. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-Ta
Mason, they may not be chigger bites. Sometimes scabies looks like chigger bites - my niece's baby had scabies when she was a couple of weeks old, but wasn't diagnosed until she was almost 5 months because everyone thought that she had chigger bites (it was summer, and my niece wasn't the best mother in the world at the time). They're both mites, and the rashes they produce can be easily confused. Here's some good information: [link]http://www.entomon.net/mites-sca
First of all - I never knew you were in the Navy. You play your cards very close to your chest - and that's a compliment. Secondly - I hope that you've made the cut-off and will be newly-promoted soon. Lastly - well, there is no lastly. Just the first two.
One of these days, we plan to get a spinning wheel for just that reason. They're pretty expensive. Depending on what style you get (Saxony, Castle, Norwegian)they can cost a few hundred to a few thousand. It's also not as easy or as economical as people think. Having said that, however, there's a lot of satisfaction to be had from it. I've washed, carded, dyed, spun and then knitted my own yarn, and I'm very proud of my creation (as is my mum). <
......I still have size 8 1/2 shoes and am still 5' 4". So, you just never know. Every kid grows differently. This is very true. what size shoe is your daughter wearing now? is she taller than you yet?! She's wearing a 9 1/2 now, but isn't taller than me - yet.
It’s hot around here. Very hot. Almost 100 degrees hot. Miserably hot, in other words. The kind of heat that becomes the sole topic of conversation on the news and in stores and over telephone lines. <FONT face=C
Congratulations! First pregnancies are always beautiful things, even though there may be times you don't think so. You're doing important work; growing that new little person inside you! As you know, I knit. Can I make you a beanie and send it to Stardock?
I think that would be hilarious. You wouldn't have to tell them what it was for, make up something else and then snicker to yourself. Tell them that it's to hold silver dollars Heehee...yeah, that would've been kind of cool to have done. However, it's too late now and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been worth it. It would have be
I finally got my dream appliance today. I've been hankering after a Dyson for a couple of years, so when the opportunity for me to get one presented itself, I took it. My hands were literally rembling when I got it home and started taking it out of the box. It's a pretty spendy machine, retailing at $369, and I was worried that it wouldn't perform to my expectations (or to my husband's expectations; he wasn't very happy about my dropping nearly $400 on a hoover. I
EmperorofIceCream Thank you little-whip and thank you too <TD class=
I quit my so-called knitting instructor job yesterday. When I was hired at the start of June, I was asked to provide them with a short bio and a photo. My supervisor - we'll call her 'Betty' - said that she needed that as soon as I could get it to her, along with some samples not only of my work in general, but of the items we'd be making in class. She said that she'd put the bio and the samples up on the classroom wall so that people could see them and perhaps be enticed
I thought you were mad at me! No - if I WERE mad at you, I'd have told you. I remember lessons learned..... There's just some stuff going on at work that's taking it's toll on me emotionally and mentally, and I can't talk about it. I AM taking breaks, though; I'm making sure that I look after myself. In fact, I'm goin
do you ever aknowledge comments anymore I'm trying. Sorry. I just have a lot of stuff going on right now. I can't talk about some of it, and the rest of it I don't want to talk about. I'm trying to work things out in my own head before I vent about it. I haven't forgotten about you, though.
'radio-frequency-nerve-ablation' Yep, that's what they said they were going to try and do. I'm still not sure I want it done; I'm hedging my bets for a couple of weeks yet until I see what the longer-term results from these shots are. <
How does the cost compare? It's very good. I paid $10 and change for it, compared to L'Oreal Mineral Wear which retails for $12 and a few cents. Summer is an entire season where I feel in desperate need of
Wow, those things are awesome! I wish that I'd had one like that when I was little. Mine had a hole in their mouth so you could squirt water in it and a hole in their gender-ambiguous 'taint' so that said water could come back out, and that was about as sophisticated as it got. These things are fantastic! I love the wee little umbilical cord too!
I like the more even coverage of my liquid foundation. In the wintertime you won't catch me dead without my liquid foundation! However, it literally melts off my face in the summer so wearing it becomes an exercise in futility. Whilst this mineral stuff doesn't do as good a job as the liquid, it's an acceptable substitute. I like the idea of using it as a powder to set the liquid stuff, though. Humidity around here
Recently, thre's been a trend towards 'mineral' cosmetics versus the traditional liquid foundations. I've tried a couple of them - Cover Girl and Physicians Formula - and I haven't been too pleased with the results. Each one claimed that it's leave me with an 'airbrused complexion', free of age spots and imperfections, but all it did was settle into my crows feet and fine lines and make me look 10 years older. So, I tossed them away and went back to using my old standby
I was the subject of someone else's raod rage this morning. I was on my way to work. I pulled up to a 4-way stop sign slightly before a man in a VW Passat on my left. Apparently he thought that he should have the right of way, because when I pulled forward into the intersection, he slammed his foot on the gas to get into the intersection and then on the brake to avoid T-boning me. He honked the horn and gesticulated - and I responded with my own gesticulation of pref
Eat happy! People who eat healthy dont really live longer - it just seems that way I'd rather live short and be happy than live long and be miserable. for now, anyway.
Don't let your children move or eat or breathe. Yeah, that'd work for me too. I'm looking forward to school starting so that I can leave the house in the morning and KNOW that it will be in the exact same condition when I return in the afternoon. Right now when I come home I usually walk into a disaster area. <TABLE cellpa
I'm a big fan of BBC America's 'How Clean Is Your House?'. People write in and nominate their friend's, relatives or neighbors who have very dirty homes, and Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie go pay them a visit and help them clean the place up. There have been some FILTHY homes on that show. Nasty, dirty, smelly, moldy....people who have had poo and pee smeared all over their toilet bowls and walls, mildew in all the wondows, laundry piled up 6' high, pee stained couches a
