Ok..this may be boring to some.
But here goes!
I planted several varieties and colors of morning glories 3 years ago. They are not supposed to perennials. However they keep coming back despite well below freezing temperatures as a crossed version in a really cool deep violet indigo! And lilac ones with deep blue or purple veins!
Very very pretty!
My fish tank needs cleaning even though Bob the fish does not seem to mind living in a tank that is beginning to look like an alien jungle water world with strange green pods growing and weird grasses.

Well I was depressed last weekend.
Got pulled by a cop for speeding.
He says I was 96mph. I can't believe it.

Then he gave me a reckless ticket also.
Seems I was changing lanes. WTF.

The first two lanes were locked by stubborn drivers who just won't budge. The righmost lane was empty for miles.

Ridiculous judgement on the part of the cop.
What was he thinking.

Anyway, Shivam - the world is auspicious. What ever happens happens for a reason

Well I did pass some drivers on way who I am sure gave me dirty looks for driving a bmw and pushing their buttons.

In germany theres no speed limit, except you cannot tail gate or endanger other drivers. I guess I was being a german for one day. What a price I had to pay.

My doggie killed a chicken cause she got to close to her dog house and she's really protective of her food I am getting over a stomach bug and so are my children.

In spite of all of that, I'm so glad to be alive. This really is a great ride

Hi Fayte!
I just wanted to stop in and say hello.
I am working at the college. The students are all taking a test-- I think I am more bored than them.... LOL

Mannu... that sucks! Sorry you got a ticket. But what the hell were you thinking driving at that speed? A late date, maybe Just kidding! You were depressed for a ticket? well, I guess you could be, I know how much Cancer's hate losing money

Silverstone!
I have a big heavy fur like lilac conforter with two cranes in a yinyang pattern in the center. I use lilac oils too. Yes great dream helpers!
What are you teaching, torturing the students about?

Yeah Mannu..that sucks!

GG, Poor bird. Our kitten's brothers and sisters all got killed by crazed raccoons a few days after we took him to live with us.

Hi Fayte

I am TORTURING composition and literature. We are currently working in short fiction. He-hee suckers!

Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year....
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. ~Robert Frost

Hi Fayte

Really?? We can rant and rave and talk about the mundane day-to-day Stuff??
Noticed your first string on this but never found time to peruse.....

Saturn has crossed my Ascendant and will spend close to 2 years shaping me up..... Pluto is almost exactly squaring my Moon again -- I've been on this ride for almost 2 years.....
Valid during many months: This influence produces very intense experiences in your emotional and personal life, and it will test your innermost psychological workings. You may be forced to dig down deeper inside yourself than you have ever done before to get the answers you need at this time.

I want to just live for one month with NO challenges!! Just some relief from the constant pressure..... I want to get back into my creative pursuits. I want to read *LOTS* of books that I've bought and are just sitting in the bookshelf. But I have two major responsibilities to my mother that need to be discharged before I can allot time to mine own ends.....

If it weren't for all the wonderful people I've met here, I would have gone bonkers quite awhile ago

I'm teaching newbies at work again -- I get a lot of satisfaction from helping them to use the software to find/do exactly what they need to

Happy Trails, All!!

The grill in my oven exploded this morning. I was heating it up so I could melt some cheese on toast when there was a loud bang, and when I looked there were flames in the oven! :shocked: It looks like the oven element is about to do the same thing too. There's also a nest of flies somewhere near the bathroom because there are millions of flies coming in and dying in the bath. I rang the landlord and they're sending someone out to come and fix these things... they also say that we owe them $900 arrears in rent... which we do not. They suck! It's the third day of my period and I'm still having vague cramps and feeling strangely hormonal; that's not really like me but I can tell a hormone mood from a 'normal' mood. I'm tired and I started crying for no reason just 10 minutes ago. I'm ok now but still just really, really tired. I'm at work but bored, and I'm about to go and get some celery sticks from the fridge cos I heard eating celery makes you lose weight! It's a really "blah" kinda day.

Thank you my friend -- just a little encouragement and a "things will get better" does help make the (self-inflicted) burden lighter

Nope, not me on the horse. I've done a couple of trail rides like that, but it was decades ago.....

I teach Project Managers at work on how to best use the job-costing software. They're from ages 22-60, and I have kindergarten thru college computer skills to deal with That's what makes it interesting, as I tailor each tutoring session to the abilities and needs of the "student". I did write a manual several years ago with the major How-To's in it, but software upgrades tend to make manuals obsolete.....

I need sleeeeeep..... g'nite my friends ~

Thanks, Fayte and Zala. So strange, I feel like I'm having PMS even though my period is (by its usual standards) almost over... when I saw my one of my flatmates just before, I was instantly irritated - this is usually a PMS symptom for me! I'm eating those celery sticks now and I noticed that the tips of my fingers have a weird odor - the last time this happened was years ago, and so I did a cleanse and the weird smell (which my doctor couldn't explain) went away... I must be a hotbed of toxins right now... yuck... Zala I'll try to find your email address! Otherwise, if you could email me with the qigong stuff (edited) ... thank you!!!

GL75 ~

I have your address now, you can take it down so the spambots don't catch it
Will send ASAP.

My address is at my Profile, and it's also at the topics-header page at the Free For All forum here at LL. Where it says "Moderated by: Azalaksh and Mirandee" up at the top left corner, those names are hyperlinks and if you click on them will open up a New Message in your email client.....

my husb and i had a party saturday at our house. we had 10 people. it was fun but i could not relax. i always get so worried about my guests and if everything is going good for them.
rob says we can stay home this weekend and relax. that will be great. i have not been sleeping well lately and that is usually never a problem for me. ick. secretely i know he is saying that becasue his parents want to go to dinner with us. he knows i would squawk if i knew. what he doesn't know is that it has been a while since we have seen them and im ok seeing them when time has passed. it makes it a lot easier for me to deal with their controlling nature.

The police have a shooting range down in the gully near our home which bisects the city of some 25,000 people. Bang bang boom boom ping ping from 5am to midnite! Very disturbing!
But if you call them for vandalisms or street fights, no cops around!

so happy to have you guys for sure-my cat is a killer kitten so have been leaving catnip out and he is getting a little more cuddly-he has a piercing yell and the other night he started yelling and jumping off a high perch onto my head and pulling my hair while making these loud screams-of course i woke up and had to pee so as i headed for the loo he jumped on my leg and climbed my pajamas yelling the whole time. why? his dish was empty! also my and my sons' landlord moved someone into my sons' condo because he is out of town! When the LL came by and wasn't speaking nicely, Killer Kitten leaped on his back and clawed his way up and bit the LL's ear! Way to go!!LL's wife also freaky and sent people there and here with keys and i had to carry all my kids' stuff out and up a winding staircase b4 it got stolen-yes LL was wrong but he wanted to bone the chick he moved in and thought we wouldn't mind! Yesterday the US FBI showed up looking for my LL(LL=landlord)which is heavy duty-I wonder what he did? LOL then the new girl's drunken stoned mom and her friend who were babysitting down there had a wrestling hair pull curse scream fight in the atrium-this is a very conservative place! LMAO! I am looking for new digs but in same building as it is too much drama for this mama-also my guppies have grown in population but I gave 36 away today and didn't have to think about the flusher and I ordered a new purple plate as mine disappeared again!

I must be going thru a period of challenges...I was building a townhouse and now I am not and I have gotten out of the contract and now I am in regrouping phase...I've been so busy I have not even been on here at all ---I miss my friends on here. My Crab is still in the picture but has taken another one of his powders again...so I am left quandering again...I am going thru a period of proving myself in other ways at work and at the firehouse so in other words I have been at the bottom of the well again and am trying to climb out. and yes Mannu things happen for a reason----I had gotten a ticket too recently and the cop was a jerk about it too so I feel your pain.

Thanks Zala.

Today was payday... yay... so I got some conditioner, vitamin C and calcium/magnesium since I had run out the other day. I had to walk to so many places and backtrack, because only one place had my conditioner in stock and even then they only had one container of it left! I am obsessive about my hair and I spend too much money on it. The main things I spend money on are my hair, the health shop, and food. I would spend more on clothes, but my hair and my health come first.

confessions of a PG humorist;

it seems that just today i discovered others may be offended or put off by my sense of respect towards peoples posts, including subjects of all sorts at public forum areas.

my personal judgement dictates that i should take care with my own posts at a site such as Linda Land where many people of varying ages, ethenticities and religious backrounds are welcome.

in a quick moment of misunderstanding others judgement of me i chose to take the low road and humiliate someone with a cartoon charactor baring its behind.
for this i am truely ashamed...

i can only hope that this will not bring further retaliation. i really do look forward to getting to know everyone here. i'm certain i have things to share an offer that are not so startling as my PG humor or my moment of shameful action.

Linda Goodman was a Aries, she would have laughed about this entire thing i'm sure.
is it possible those i've wronged are Aries as well? will they take this as lightly as an Aries would. i can only pray.

------------------
yes, im new -please be kind.
