I think I'll buy a board. I only took the kids, clothes and shoes with us when we moved out of the house.Definitely buy a board. It'll keep the stress away. Well, for me it does.
Stressing.
Tonight I will be being extremely tired. I know this as it has become the norm ever since the kids broke up from school.dito :o i wonder why that is ???
getting ready for my holiday to Germany

^ I'm lost. Why don't you just buy an external hdd?what are the connection speeds like on an external usb drive.
Get an hdd dock. That way, you can easily swap in and out hdds as needed.

So MaxD did you dance the night away until the clock struck midnight or what? ;DNo. It wasn't that kind of evening. It was a totally chill. I will say that staring at Jeremy Renner for over an hour is my ideal evening FER SURE! :D :D :D :D :D
I thought he was really good in Hurt Locker. He didn't overplay the role, so it made the character very real.adrenaline junkie. but a good film.
very typecast
The Hurt Locker / 28 Days Later / SWAT
not too bad a actor.
Pssst. . . goldie. . . its 28 Weeks Later. ;)
Someone wrote on their blog about him, "Jeremy Renner with a gun is like a fat kid that loves cake." :D
I agree Jeremy has played a lot of military type roles, but he brings something different to each one he does. I'd rather him get typecast than not cast at all. ;) ;D
What am I doing tonight?
Eating Thai food for dinner and possibly a movie after.
Coughing.
adobe lightroom ing :D :Dsounds like fun
LOL.. never mind, I just found thm in the other thread :D:D I just posted a picture.
Eating pepper shooters and watching season 7 of Entourage in itsI'll only be watching half a season since the airings end on October 11. :Dentiretybefore it ends on demandtonight.
Almost everything about irc you can ask it from dweez and I can suggest few places.
I'd lurk irc but I don't know where to go.

Waiting new Dexter.
I have a crick forming in my neck (has been all day) and I have no idea if there is a way I can stop it from manifesting completely (I already only have about 60% of head rotation available the pain is that bad at this point). So, I figure I shall try and rest it by turning in early to see if that helps.
I'd suggest a warm compress and a nice massage.
scary walk :o
Prolly getting my left hand in a splint if it gets any worse.
I'm going to be dressing up as a phoenix. Maybe have my hair dyed?
For All Saints Day?
What about paint thinner smokes?
It's water-based but when it goes off, it can only really be scratched or peeled off. No point in using thinners as it's not solvent based, besides which, with all the little nicks I have amassed, thinners would send me through the roof.
Hopefully, tonight I will be able to relax.
working
enjoying a day off watching tv in bed and marking selections in the seed catalogue to order.. maybe also putting up the christmas tree
Getting trolled.
Trolls are gluttons, best not feed them.
which means I'll have to put up the ceiling decorations. :(
ceiling decorations meaning those ornaments nearer the top of the tree? or... you literally decorate the ceiling?
The latter. This kind of thing.
(http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd155/redlandslide/other/decorations.jpg)
Wow.. fancy :o It's like the movie Elf :D In the US ceiling decorations get seen more in classrooms. We usually put garland on stairs and mantels. usually.. although I'm sure some people do it...the ceiling decorating.. Especially cut out paper decorating has always been popular here.
I think I'm gettting a cold :(
I'm going to stay warm, maybe do some preparation for my interview on Monday and then watch the second half of the film.
Take care, swine flu has already killed 14 people in this country during this winter. Probably O.A.Ps and that's pretty usually for any flu, and the advances made last year means it is not that deadly any longer. But, there is an epidemic of seasonal flu afoot so try and doddge it if you can.
friend works in a local hospital and is filled with swine flu cases .
plus a few T B cases as well :o
I thought TB went out with Smallpox.
I thought TB went out with Smallpox.
I lost my best friend to TB about 10 years ago and a couple of years after that it took his sister too.
Tragic indeed and it was a mutated strain they had that was untreatable.
Wow!! Disturbing
unfortunately with the input of immigrants from various countries
TB is returning.
my friend thought she caught the disease when she had her second child 9 years ago.
in a country where we had nearly no cases of tb we now have plenty.
the influx of people should be vetted / vaccinated for these sort of diseases.
Working. I have work all week. I hate having to work on Christmas Eve.never mind.
Tonight I will be listening to the never ceasing sound of children coughing.of all the things children catch , a cough is the worst .( of the lesser bugs around)
Not their fault of course but impossible to sleep through.
of all the things children catch , a cough is the worst .( of the lesser bugs around)
constantly no sleep for anyone.
you could boil electric kettle in their bedroom with the lid open / off.
it doesn't turn off and the steam helps the children breath better.
just be careful of the kettle and children

of all the things children catch , a cough is the worst.
I'd probably say earache, they cry all night with that.
My daughter has this little tickly cough which is a real nothing of an illness. No cold with it or temperature, she just has to cough a little every 15 seconds or so and it is still happening while I am writing. I didn't sleep until about 3am last night and no matter what I try I can't find a way of stopping the tickle? I have given her little bits of a honey a lemon cough lozenge that works for a couple of minutes, and rubbing her chest can ease it momentarily but before long, back it starts.
I am going to be so knackered this Xmas I might miss the Queen's speech :)
When the kids get a tickly cough, I usually give them a little pei pa koa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nin_Jiom_Pei_Pa_Koa) syrup or candy. They love it and the U will often fake a cough if he knows I've got some laying around somewhere.
How expensive is expensive?
*Totally side-eyeing Charlie Sheen and his douche bag friends*
Cleaning up the mess that the house is in.
I'm side-eyeing you and your mess, smokey. :D ;)
It's hard to see anyone in my house there is so much mess, in fact, I'm thinking of naming our place Jumanji.:D
:D
Oh noooooooo. I couldn't deal. I'd gladly help clean if I was near. ;D
"Last day"? You mean before the trip with your son or do you mean forever (at this current job)?
Ironing my clothes and maybe I'll shave. I'll probably get rid of some of my grey hairs, I want to look two years younger! :Dif i got rid of my grey hairs i'd be bold :D
I found a gray hair yesterday. :(
Moaning about something or other.
my grandma does a lot of that… moans and groans about everything.
From 00:45 to 01:00, I gonna be listening to da radio.why at that time ?
Going to bed after watching the League Cup highlights.
going to sleep in a real bed for a change .
having 3 night in billing aquadrome http://www.billingaquadrome.com/ (http://www.billingaquadrome.com/) looks better than it is :o :o
i have had enough of comping for the moment
it has changed i'd imagine ???
you fish then ???
the wife wants to fish, the only fish i can catch is a birds eye fish finger ;D
Used to fish and Billing was a bit of a Mecca for that sport. It had 13 lakes if I remember correctly and I managed to fall asleep pissed at all of them.
why at that time ?First it's that Sailing By tune and then it's the shipping forecast. Finally, we get the national anthem.

Watching Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior.madam
And holding virtual hands with a gf who was recently discovered her boyfriend of seven years has been dating another girl for the past three years.
madamdoesnt read the same as the original post.
watching Training day then trying to finish my book
working
I worked from 9.15am till 8pm today, and that's after getting the kids ready, making their lunches and getting them to school. All I am going to do tonight is drink cold beer.
Stuffed from steak and shrimp and a little buzzed from beer and bourbon.
I fell asleep on the second beer.
"Lightweight" I know.
sulking :'(
Trying to get to work relatively dry.
Drowning my sorrows all by myself.
That's really sad.
You're welcome as long as we can pretend we're both not there. :D
I'll pour. I have no shame.
So? Normal day for you?
/me titters and runs off like a little school girl
/me looks at his stomach, looking much like he's in his third trimester.
learning how to use gnome 3
the pressure is on i'd say
watch out he could be a pool shark ;D
tonight i will be working
Tonight then I will be trying to digest a beanburger and a Yorkie McFlurry (damn! did I enjoy both) with he aid of some Bucks Fizz (not the band I might add).
Let the little one know we wish him/her (can't remember...think it's the girl) a happy birthday.
I hope your date with Buck goes well. ;)
...it's just in my experience game playing takes over completely and any hope of balance is lost.
interesting opinion.
my son played his ps3 / ps / ds (to a degree to) and still does play a little now ,but not so much as before.
he now has gone back to reading .
at the moment
Lord of the Flies / Of Mice and Men / The grapes of Wrath.
deny them and they will want , allow them and they will play , but eventually they will return to what they like the most.
that reads like a pompous crap,I know but it worked for my eldest and i cannot deny he is far above my educational level.
Mind you, that was at a time when there were only 3 TV channels to choose from.
.
Every once in a while my daughter asks me to tell her (again) how when I was little I only had 3 channels in my city (2 locals, 1 national) and I only had 2 hours/day of kids' shows: 1 hour of cartoons and the other hour was maybe Zorro, Batman, El Chavo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0229889/) but not much else. No wonder I played a lot of sports back then.
Oh, and TV used to close down at 12.30am on weekdays (perhaps 2am at weekends).
I forgot about that! Here it closed down at 12:00 and it was extended on Saturdays only if the movie or the boxing match was long.
I don't remember exactly when cable landed in my city but I was already in college.
On Saturday nights BBC2 used to run a double bill of old horror movies that used to take you up to about 2am. Ironically, they are the best memories I have of watching any movie and initiated my love of old horror film and most 'old' films in general. Had they been more accessible, I wouldn't have paid them much attention at all.
hope not too poorly. :)
half term in leicester so kids are off and i will packing to visit Oxford for a few days.
family and such like
^That's a lot to do in one night!
Tonight I'll be packing bags cause tomorrow I'll be heading to Buenos Aires to see God.
Are you a Floyd fan per se?
A bit late in the day to say so, but I hope you enjoy the gig.
Thank you smokes! I did enjoy it very much. It was more visual and less focused on the band than the other times. But then I suppose a show designed for such huge stadiums has to be that way.
You're such a jet setter XT
I'm not by the way, on account of feeling a bit Moretti numb.
Am I? Then explain to me why I have to unpack, make dinner and (with 32C) iron the clothes for the next week. ::)
You mean comfortably Moretti numb, don't you? ;D
Also i will abusing my old hdd..
My brother in law waved a hammer through his car window in a Buenos Aires street the other day. I don't recall him wearing any safety goggles.
Sorry to hear that, smokester. So, booze is out of the question? :D
.
Well, now it's me with the headache.
Don't say I never give you anything.
More worrying for you is I now have a pain in my elbow.
Nah, my neck pain won't let me notice. ;D
Change hands.
"mouse". Heh.
Oh yeah smokester, 8ully was mentioning other Demonoid spin-off foras and I gave Diasfora a mention. Just a heads up in case we get any visitors.
Been awake for about forty hours already.
Supernatural, which starts in 20 minutes.
well i was going to watchyou should Google for your DVD player make and model, some players can be made region free, my Philips could, but my Samsung can't, it's just a matter of finding, and punching in the right code.
Dawn of the Dead
I borrowed off a friend but my player rejected it as it was a region 3 disc. :'( :'( :'(
Anything above the level of Twilight scares the hell out of me , so i thought i was doing well.
sleeping to work sat am :-\
I have to work Saturday am too.
I don't. But I have to work on Monday that's a national holiday. ::)
I do some stuff for mother and since it's a holiday she doesn't work but we need to catch up so I can keep on doing what I do for her. It's complicated. ;D
...as it's the school hols now I have to do it with 2 kids in tow...
How do they behave?
Cleaning up after the kids.i'll bet you could put that down for every night :)
::) :) :)
I actually had a bowel cancer scare that had me writing my will for a couple of weeks.
have had the whole prostrate and bladder cancer scare .
checked ok , a few years ago.
:o
I'm so glad the results turned out well, smokester!!
Colon+rectum cancer is one of the most common types of cancers and people older than 45 yrs old should get a colonoscopy (younger if there's family history).
have had the whole prostrate and bladder cancer scare .
checked ok , a few years ago.
Glad to hear you got a good diagnosis smokes! I'm getting about that age that I need to go get the full physical myself.
don't you just hate it when that happens.
Oh, yes. It takes at least 4 days to heal.
as it's medicinal I'll persevere.
Don't let anyone convince you chlorhexidine is better than brandy as an antiseptic.
Nursing my poor, burnt mouth after getting too impatient with my sauteed strawberries. I have lost at least one layer of skin from the roof of my mouth - don't you just hate it when that happens.and constantly feeling it with your tongue :-\

Going out for a ruby murray
beer (it's a holiday weekend in Canada, Monday is Victoria Day,a National Holiday, and the unofficial start of Summer).
Thinking about camping with the kids once the weather gets better.fixed - a Curry :D
What's a ruby murray?
I believe tonight the television is all mine.maybe maybe not ;D ;D
adding books to my new ereader
Is it a kindle? I've been thinking about upgrading from my nook but I don't know if it's worth it,
I hope to dear God that I won't be suffering from Hayfever. Right now I am totally destroyed by it!!
Have you tried Cetirizine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetirizine)? It changed my life. You don't need a prescription to buy it so I dare recommend it.
Mu eyes are so bad right now I can hardly see the monitor.
I'm sorry, smokes. I know how it's like. I've been there. It's so uncomfortable it puts me in a really bad mood.
Now I only suffer attacks a couple times a year. I improved remarkably when I moved to a house without any carpets.
At the risk of being stoned to death by my countrymen, I've been loving the cold wet summer.But this weather's awful for hanging the laundry!
I improved remarkably when I moved to a house without any carpets.I want a house like that. I think carpets should be a treat (for your feet), have it in the bedroom and maybe the television room, but that's it.
I improved remarkably when I moved to a house without any carpets.

Also, I have to convince the boyfriend that January of next year is the best time to get married as I have already filed my leave.
I thought she was referring to her friend's boyfriend. :-[
Edit: I laughed at all of the instances of the word golly above! Didn't see that one coming

I get more sense from my kids than some people I know.
No Idea as i have no Olympics to view.

I assume this is her 1-year-old b-day party? Or is she like 12 but this is the first party she's had? ;)
Helping someone with their assessment for tomorrow. I get to pretend I'm a teacher.I'd make a terrible teacher :D
I have decided, tonight I'm going to install that Linux business on the old laptop. Waiting ten minutes per click is no way to
which oneI went with Debian's stable branch. When I installed IceWeasel, it was the old version from before they screwed up Firefox. That was nice.
have just obtained the entire works of Tarzan (Edgar Rice Burroughs)I was reading his Barsoom series earlier this year, the first book was really good, but the sequels were a bit disappointing. I don't really have the motivation to read past book 3.
He is nothing like the movies made about him. good reading
Resuming sexual activity... Finally!! (Sorry for tmi)
Clearly I am addicted to facebook... I just tried to like your posts. Sigh.my posts on facebook ??

Oh, poor you!
(http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo51/dw33z/AniGIFs/grrr.gif)
but think of all the fresh fish you are going to eat... may be lobster too. I am Italian but i eat pasta twice a week so not a great loss fo me
They have pasta in the Caribbean, so I don't see why you can't eat it there. A box of linguini doesn't take up much space in the luggage, anyway.
Most taste of Homepride sauce and over boiled pasta :'(
I usually go home and think I could do better.
Goldie, they're still newlyweds. Give it time. ;)I suppose we should.
Why is it sad? And everyone says that about us, but to be fair, he asked ME to go shopping.A Man shopping and worse he likes to :'(
your HUSBAND took you dress shopping. :'(
so sad.
My husband hates shopping. I just asked him, "would you like to go dress shopping with me?" He responded quickly and definitively, "No."
You should consider yourself fortunate, to have such a patient and willing shopping partner. My husband is great in many other ways, but he hates to shop.
nice pic dweez. ;D
its a standing joke for men to hate dress shopping, in fact any shopping for some men.
its nice your husband go's with you .Yo
I could never choose OUTER ;) clothes for my wife. :o
u are truly blessed to have him.

I have a cold. Probably going to have to spend the nextweek or so in bed. Don't think I'll survive this one.
Going to see a theatrical version of the Illiad with a friend.Heavy going, any good.
collecting a gaggle of girl guides
The Iliad and the Odyssey was the kids' favorite bedtime story.really, :o so heavy going
I'm just getting over a cold and while I was looking for a warm blanket I found a down comforter I forgot I had. It is big and warm and full of feathers. I've got a bottle of Nyquil and my comforter plus some Top Gear and sitcoms on the DVR so I'm pretty sure I know exactly what I'll be doing tonight.
Carefully thinking about whether or not to run for public office.go for it

Tonight I have to be in 3 different places almost at the same time. I don't think I can make it.
Why :), drinking the end of this wine here, of course :Di wondered where my wine went ;D ;D
I've got "Ted - Unrated"...maybe I'll be watching a movie too.;D ;D ;D ;D funny movie
Tonight is my last night i have to go bed early for work tomorrow,
Then its 2 weeks holiday 8)
Never ask a barber if you need a haircut. The answer will always be "Yes".
I will be watching Doctor Who tonight. Not on the telly though, I don't have the strength to fight over the remote.

I'll be hunting down new music and deleting old music.
Reading, I guess.good choice.
Same as always. Tv, dinner, read, bed.
watcha readin'? :)
I get too into my books... I'm a dreamer. :)
It's ok, it's a constant ache. I have back spasms and as I just recently started my depression meds, the dr still hasn't prescribed me muscle relaxers or pain relievers. She keeps trying to persuade me that the spasms were caused by the depression, as is the case for so many people. (Not necessarily back spasms, but pain in general.) but it started after my horrific accident, and is totally unrelated to my brain. I wanna smack her sometimes and say hello!!! Shooting pains here!!
/rant, sorry.
what about acupuncture a couple of relatives have tried it for back pain and they said its done wonders.
The missus is taking me out for dinner tonight
It turned out to be this place:Next time I will go to London you have to give me some adressess, I was there 2 years ago and what I found really expensive was accomodations while foods not that much , here they are not cheap too
http://www.alterega.co.uk/
and at £26 for a 3 course meal for 2, it was a splendid evening indeed.
I'm convinced and plan to take the in-laws there next week.

Sleepdito
I paid for some flights to St Lucia in August, then I made my missus a fantastic Indian dinner and served her the flight itinerary as a starter.
She liked all of it I think.
I am staying in a villa with its own pool and wifi so if I'm not here during that time, I'm swimmin'.
It made up for the lack of a bath and working handbasin.I am so terribly jealous too ::)
So that's it: from the 18th Aug until the 2nd of September, I'm outta here. Good news is I am staying in a villa with its own pool and wifi so if I'm not here during that time, I'm swimmin'.
I am so terribly jealous too ::)
My best friend who comes from Abruzzo (Teramo), goes home for 10 days over the summer holidays and it cost nearly 4 times as much to rent accomodation there than it does in St Lucia. I know Italy is in the high season at that time and the Caribbean is in the low, but seriously, Italy is ridiculously expensive these days.You are right about the terribly expensive part, that's why I go abroad when I can, but please no Lira back or we will be worst than Greece, I still remember the gallopping inflation and when you have a really weak currency and you have to buy all your raw materials from abroad everything will be terribly expensive
Bring back the Lira I say.
Italy is ridiculously expensive these days.
You are right about the terribly expensive part
I paid for some flights to St Lucia in August
Parents frequently went to St Lucia, loved it.
How is it compared to the rest of the Caribbean? Cheaper? More expensive? Accommodations I mean of course.
I'm paying $67.50 (US) a night for the villa BTW.
That's not expensive at all!
Right now the pound is so weak it could become a lot dearer for me come the summer. If it bounces back at all against the dollar, I'll have to buy them up in advance of our holiday to keep it cheap.
The country's motto is "no problem", which just about sums up their attitude and why I love it there.

The mosquitoes are a real pain down there that time of year. Be sure to buy repellent as dengue fever is an occasional problem.
catching up on all the rugby i missed
At last we are growing up in the rugby area :), we didn't make the usual meager figure. And more Italians are following rugby now, may be one day, not too far away we'll be able to beat you ;)
Sergio Parisse is one of the best players in the world, in my opinion.
He is an Italian- Argentinian, both parents from L'Aquila but emigrated there, he was born in La Plata and grew up there, xatopave should be happy
You really need to put an "in" between "sucks" and "Argentinian". Otherwise, my mind will just stay in the gutter..
Hope he can help Argentina and South America, but he is a little too old, don't you think?
All I remember is that it wasn't "fun")
Why sulking?
England got battered by Wales in the final (and they had a 7 point cushion).So true :-\
Beaten up good and proper...
Playing Bioshock Infinite. That's right, it's available a week early. Yay me!
work work work
boiling guava
....then deciding what to do with with the 192GB it replaced (24x8GB).
(which restaurant is anyone's guess)
Hopefully, tonight I'll be back in the land of the living. Man! have I been ill.
Hopefully you'll be drinking beer. Soon. :D
Good to hear you're getting better.
what made matters worse is that I'm a man.
???
You should know by now that all illnesses are far worse for men than they are for women. Why even the common cold can half kill a man..
You're married right? You should know by now that all illnesses are far worse for men than they are for women. Why even the common cold can half kill a man..
Nah, I was definitely stupid. I was lazy, and have a small sink, so I took the foreman out to the yard and used the garden hose to powerwash the zappy politician. I avoided shooting the heating element (small enclosed plate underneath the contact grills) and dried with paper towel. Apparently it wasn't dry enough.
Lost new glasses (yes, I did it again), broke an irreplaceable art-deco lamp (clients), snapped and indicator off the bike putting on my panniers, and finally got home to find I had another nail in my rear tyre which then promptly deflated.
buy a glasses lanyard now. Magoo.
I now use a Slazenger bum/shoulder bag that I put my wallet, glasses, phone and keys in to avoid this situation,A manly man bag
Playing video games.
taking wife out for her birthday
BIG family reunion (as usual) with too much to eat and drink. On the downside we're in red alert bc of the heat wave and there's threat of power outage.me as well, although no heat wave here.
Chillin' with my bro and his family, probably talking (yelling) way too loud, which seems to be the way of my family. Love to all!
Goldie's the union rep...so this is his baby to deal with. :D
a sick dog with gastroenteritis :-[ :-[
Nursing the missus no doubt.
hope shes not too poorly, you could always put on the nurses outfit for her ;)
tonight i will NOT be watching Britain has NO talent
she would get a kick out of a costume :P
And I will get a nightmare. :D
I think it might be quite fetching.
For a second I read "retching". :D :-*
Probably playing Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark on the PC. Whoda thunk an old man would be playing with Transformers? ::)
When I retire I'll have more time to spare than I've ever had. It ain't for a few years yet but I'm already earmarking games to play, books to read, movies to watch and things to learn.
Or I might just sleep lots.
In my country retired people can't even pay for their medicines.
...as i am alpha male in my den we will watch...
I'd like to watch a movie with the wife, but she falls asleep like a nodding dog post 10pm.
Kills the pain after the cycle accident ;)
I hope you get better soon, goldie.
I just have the normal aches (that are quite a few). I'll try with booze too.
Yeah, accidents for me tend to give me a break from all the other pains I live with.
Watch episode 2 of season 4 of Game of Thrones, then Lord of the Rings Online and then read a mystery novel.
Well apparently Hurricane Gonzalo is coming tonight so I may well be in Oz by the morning.
How bad was it?
Sleeping and reviewing course work
have you tried acupressure ?
Got 9 solid hours last night.
Movie night
That's the same for us and I think we're going to watch The Tale of The Princess Kaguya.
Does your wife like these films ?
I and the better half have strict guide lines in what we like / watch.
We frequently wait till one of us is at work before watching certain films as we disagree
about them.
The Atticus Institute
OOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo tooo scary for us ;D ;D
That'll take you a while, I'm betting.
as the better half (wife) will be at work I will be catching up on films she would not watch.Wear a wrist brace.
I was referring to the likelihood of him getting a lot of typing done whilst watching the movies. I think the rest of you have mucky minds.
After spending the afternoon in the pub, I've decided it would be wise to not drink any more - especially as XT has little choice.
Washing my monkey.
I confess I thought twice about looking into the spoiler. ;)
....I wanted folks to experience the frisson of a dirty mind.
Even I can tell the difference between washing and spanking.
It's to celebrate my birthday which is tomorrow
I will be visiting [urlhttp://www.boothbooks.co.uk/][/url]
Uhh, you have a day flight, they're very tiring. How longiswas your flight?
...you choked on all the smoke, and irritating kids were part of the package.
Meh, I was young, I didn't mind most of that. Now I wouldn't put up with the tenth of it.
I perfected the art of chatting up stewardesses (and stewards for that matter as being gay is almost a prerequisite for that job) and they used to end up giving me 8-10 miniature brandies upon request. That used to knock me out good and proper so long haul was a breeze. These days there's a ban on getting tipsy and you can't even bring a hipflask to circumvent the rule and do so on the sly.
However, on my flight out I tried on the chat and it worked! Sadly, I believe it was sympathy this time.

Hope your Mother is doing well.
And from me as well; may your mother be home soon, xtopave.
Fortunately my mom's home now. Thank you for your thoughts. :)
Phew! I read this late but I'm glad your mother is back home. No doubt your unwavering support helped her stay strong.
saying goodbye to number one son, Dropping him off at Birmingham University today :'( :'(
I'll be riding on a train.
Yeah, it's 5.1 surround sound. I have the DVR, Xbox 360 and media player connected to it via HDMI and it's connected to the TV via HDMI.
daughters, ;D a outfit for every moment ;D ;D ;D
Helping my daughter to make her bag for her 2 days school trip to Buenos Aires. She intends to pack for a week in the jungle. :o :o
Party at the local Ale house for my 50th :o :o

No, still have them, just count backwards.;D ;D nice
Watching the Paris murders on the news.truly horrendous.
Watching the Paris murders on the news.
I'm going to a book discussion group -- reading dead Greeks for fun.
so in a reading group, you basically talk about a book everyone has read
::) nice.
I have tried to put up a curtain pole that did not fit where wife wanted it to go, so have had to go and swap it
door hit the end globe ???.
fitted one tonight, what a pain. walls made of sand not plaster
Render?
You could have always hinged the door down the middle and made it an accordion/bifold door. Gives the room loads more space.
Or just make a giant dog flap that your whole family could use. Would give it more personality I think. :Dgood idea ;D
watching a film and nothing else
Coincidentally, we are going to watch In The Deep (47 Meters Down) tonight.any good ?
Rapunzel with sharks - what's not to like?
any good ?
I'm teetotal for a while.
Don't all fall over at once, now.
I think that if you let any substance be a regular habit it's important to keep control over it.
Thai would be my FAV for Asian food (not that I have tasted all of it)
Hope you spoiled her more than normal :)
Restaurants in the UK are really expensive. We went to Pizza Express a lot because it was cheap. We had some very good Thai food at a place in Boston Spa. near Yorkshire. But I suspect you are closer to London.
I'm looking for some new telly to watch.
I need to learn how to rip video to ipod video format before the 24th, my power company wants me to RP as amish due to their incompetence for a night, and my psp battery suuuuuccks.
Handbrake.
cooled a down a little in the shires.
At work we registered 39 degrees in a certain part of the factory
Celebrity big brotherNooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Some kind of vegetable?
gaming chair?
gaming chair?
A lot like a racing seat. About everything is adjustable. Reclines all the way flat though I don't know why.

No worries man, just want to keep the forum good. We can't help what we were raised around but we can choose to move beyond it. We're all just trying to be better. Can't fault anyone for that.
Funny thing about that term is that it was used so casually here at one time, that you could hear it bandied about in comedy shows - Love Thy Neighbour and Till Death Us Do Part to name just a couple. Then, quite rightly, it was treated with the contempt that it deserved and it all but disappeared.
However, in the modern day the term sounds so ridiculous that it is used almost affectionately between people of colour.
Sitting around the campfire enjoying varias cervezas ;Dnice.
nice.
I will be attending my 25th wedding anniversary in the local pub with a few beers and about 50 people

You could have served 2 life sentences in that time.
Congrats and I hope it was a lot of fun.
Only another 8 years before we can holiday in the off season. YAY!
I bet you had the obligatory photo shoot on the way to school :)
First time in Amsterdam so decided to just explore.
Congrats, smokes, on the achievements of your daughter. The acorn never falls far from the tree, eh?
We nearly got there, and then the grandson arrived.
You kidder you.
My grandchild's parent happens to be my daughter, who unfortunately inherited my work ethic. Therefore the workload devolves directly to mrs. christ. All year.
Jesusa? Jesusophine? christine?
Naming 3 women in a thread with this name can be more than a little suggestive.
Omg smokester ... I'm getting a cat
Another party dopwn the Local, Mother is 70 and going strong, must be the Scottish heritage she has
Chairmen Meow;D ;D
nephews 21st birthday party.
... now that is either bad or good news ;D ;D ;D ;D
It's both depending on whether it's before or after 10pm.
Waking up every hour screaming for food/ changing?shame on you.
Two men clothes shopping. How the world has moved on.8) ;D ;D
Two men clothes shopping. How the world has moved on.
OK, more like one man and a mobile wallet.
One thing that seems to never change is the guarantee of hangovers ...
alcohol cures all pains, till the next day
clothes shopping :o :o can be expensive
What wouldn't I give to see "Pretty Woman" rewritten with a man in the hooker role. I can see him modeling clothes on Rodeo Drive to snooty shopkeepers and the billionaire giving them poo. Men love clothes. And men's clothes are generally more durable and better made/tailored than women's. When I can find them, I buy men's pants. I had some Gap men's khaki shorts that lasted me 20 years. Women's would be lucky to last me a couple of seasons before they fell apart.Would be a interesting film, same as "Passengers" be a massively different film if the women was awaken not the man.
Sweating, more than likely.
by the look of it, not sleeping again
A belated happy Easter to everyone. Hope there is at least a little chocolate left for later in the week.Happy easter as well.
TNG was back (to build yet another server) so I have another evening in the pub and then a takeaway.
Ahhh, Pubs and takeaways. My life hasn't changed much in 40 years and I can't say I'm bored with it.
