add wasabi icecream. i had it at a wasabi farm in Japan, where the world's 80% (or something like that) of wasabi products come from. fresh wasabi is nothing compared to the stuff we get here it's just powder mixed with horseradish!! IP: Logged |

On Sun-day, I hope you stayed out of the sun all day long. Most days tend to be "stay out of the sun" days for me; I prefer my tan stay exactly where it is at the moment! So, I did a bit of this (or at least wish I did):
 and used these:
 Did you remember to compliment your mirror?
 It's a nice mirror.. and is sometimes complimentary, especially when it's nice enough to do this for you:
 Mine had been lying to me for a couple months, but recently stopped.. It ~may~ be time for a workout, but I'm not sure yet.. I need a second opinion..  IP: Logged |

lechien,I figured wasabi icecream would taste terrible (did it?), until I came across this image.. it's all in the presentation, I suppose! So, where can one get some?  Cancer/Scorpio729, Happy Tennis month to you! Do you play? I'm looking for someone to play tennis with me; been thinking about getting back into it!  Charm, Do you remember the bizarre holidays of old? They were a riot! We're celebrating holidays around here again!!  IP: Logged |

So, chronicling the fourth of July.. let's see.. what was special about it?  Oh yes, that! That was very special!! Happy Independence Day, America! Hopefully, y'all remembered to celebrate country music too.. I went out and bought some 'accessories' in honor of the day; whaddya think? Like my new boots? Bit too much?  It was also Tom Sawyer Fence-Painting Day yesterday; I love that story!!:  IP: Logged |

Cancer/Scorpio729, I did watch some Wimbledon this year; can't believe Nadal's already got competition - it seems like yesterday that he came on the scene! Did you watch all the important matches?

Starr, I'm not 100% sure, but I ~think~ you may need more than an hour to grow one. This time you have 3 months to work up the nerve, and around 2 - 2.5 to start growing one.. Are you gonna do it this time around? IP: Logged |

Sigh.. yesterday was SO busy, I could find nary a moment to stop by this thread to post.. I was like this for the greater part of the day in celebration of Workaholics Day:   I worked ALL the way up until bedtime or past:
 How did you celebrate it? I'm sure some employers have thought about this solution. Hopefully yours isn't one of them!:

star33,Ah, I understand what you meant earlier - you'd like to wear one for just the day, not grow one! You'll have to come back and post a picture of it for us then! Might I suggest picking a style ahead of time (what is your pick?):
 MoonWitch, I didn't know August 10th was Duran Duran day; we'll have to give it due importance here then!! I've loved them from the 90s - Come Undone was one of my fave songs, and still rocks!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICnlyNUt_0o IP: Logged |
