How are you feeling today?

[mashmac]

I am getting on my own nerves and others getting on mine. Just feel arghhhh - :ridinghorse: :flame: :frusty: - for a million reason and none really important i guess.

[lisa843]

Awww...so sorry you are not having a good day. Keep your head up...things will get better. Try to smile more and focus on something else...on other people...on positive things...hopefully you will feel better in no time at all. :)I am getting on my own nerves and others getting on mine. Just feel arghhhh - :ridinghorse: :flame: :frusty: - for a million reason and none really important i guess.

[lisa843]

P.S.....I hope it doesn't get on your nerves even more for someone to tell ya ..it's gonna be alright....but it is... :)


Ohh yeah....I am feeling pretty good..btw...:)

[Penguin_Woman]

I'm sorry your feeling badly, Mashmac. I'm ok I guess. not feelin too good physically and kinda stressed lately. But other than that I'm ok

[mashmac]

stress - i get stressed so easily. thanks girls! no drama really, just a arghmn;kasdhfa day/evening.

[aussiecoffee007]

im really stressed and nervous right now too, in one day i have three auditions for pretty major things in my life that mean a lot to me and so im just tired, stressing about them and now im 2 done 1 to go! woot!

[~Teej~]

I am feeling fantastic...I just got back from seeing Kane in Brighton and they were amazing, I'm soooooooooo happy, I have wanted to see them play for like forever.

Nothing could make me sad at the mo. The best part is I get to see them in London again on Saturday.

Get in :)

[Tuxie]

:( Sorry you're not feeling well today mashmac. I hope you recover quickly and feel better soon.

I woke up with a MAJOR headache this morning (Sinus). Often, when I get these, it takes a whole day to completely get over it. I'm feeling somewhat better this evening though. :)

[mashmac]

Felling better today. Just don't feel like cleaning the house! Lucky it's the cleaner's day...
And Tuxie, I get migraines too. It's horrible. Hope you woke up with a clean (everything is abbout cleaning for me today) head this morning!

[T12am]

I feel blah today. Can't wait till tomorrow; my day off.

[~Teej~]

I feel lazy today...It's 8pm and I haven't even really got up yet..

I had a bath and then got back on the laptop..

I can't complain though, I've been happy recently

[mashmac]

I had too much to eat.... Sunday evening dinner. Feeling so full!

[**Sapphire**]

Been a pretty much hibernate day for me. It rained alot last night into this AM, so it's super humid outside. Only went outside just long enough to get a new pump for our fish tank & a microphone for my fiance's online game he plays. That's why I haven't been on here that much, he was having even more fun playing now that he can talk to people! :D

[Penguin_Woman]

Not feeling the best today. Got a headache n' all. I trid to lay down and rest...but the neighors are playing loud music so I keep hearing *Boom, boom, boom*

[T12am]

A little down although it's for the best..

[**Sapphire**]

Feeling hot & icky today, it's NASTY humid outside & the A/C in the office SUCKS!! :(

[~Teej~]

Our air con is well too powerful...We've had to turn it off as it feels like you are in a freezer otherwise.

I'm in a good mood...been really happy recently which is quite scary..Sure I will be on the come down soon.

[Penguin_Woman]

I'm hot too, Sapphire. Despite the fact we pay up to $200/month for electricity...the AC sux. The living room is always hot. Making my head hurt

[**Sapphire**]

Oh my Jwolf, that's a whole lot for electricity! Have you checked the A/C unit out, it might need a recharge or possibly a new 1. You could probably even get another new 1 for a steal at Home Depot or a store like that.

Teej, our A/C in the office went out over a weekend I think like a month ago. Came in on a Monday to a STIFLING HOT NASTY office, seems like ever since then the vents above my head blow out very little air. When it's hot & humid outside like it is today, it's pretty bad in the office. Top that I'm on the 9th floor & we can't open the windows. :(

Also, hey now Teej, don't be pessimistic, maybe this will be an upswing for you that you will be in a good mood & happy for a long time! :)

[~Teej~]

I hope so...I usually get a come down but I'm hoping that I won't for a while..

I'm in such a great mood that it's fab..

My work is showing it too as I have done about 3 times as much as I usually do..best slow that down though or they will start wanting more from me

[**Sapphire**]

LOL...true, once they know you are fast & good they will want you to do everything! :D

Good I'm glad that you are feeling good hun! :)

[GeeksAreHotter]

I feel...confused and more than a little anxious.

[**Sapphire**]

I'm feeling a little bit sad today. :(

Why are you feeling confused & a little anxious Geeks?

[Penguin_Woman]

I'm feeling kinda frustrated and stressed. Physically...my stomach is hurting. The two are prolly related. :)

[~Teej~]

Oh no...Everyone is feeling sad :(

I feel good...Why is everyone sad :confused:

[**Sapphire**]

Teej I'm feeling a bit sad because my fiance is driving to Atlanta for work today & he won't be back until Friday. I miss him, the house will be VERY QUIET with out him for a couple days.

[~Teej~]

:( and I won't be able to get online to keep you company either :(

Hmmm...I'll have to think of something to cheer you up

[**Sapphire**]

Aww. thanks Teej! :)

[T12am]

I'm feeling weird.. neither sad or happy or anything..

[HeadBanger]

I'm starting to feel pretty good. :headbang:

[**Sapphire**]

Feeling pretty good today. :)

[T12am]

I feel okay.. =)

[~Teej~]

I feel good today...although I am hungry and the sun seems to have dissapeared :(

[**Sapphire**]

I'm feeling good today, although I could have slept a whole bunch more.

[Penguin_Woman]

I'm feelin' ok. :) Though bored....

[stoner]

I feel very stressed at the moment, but at the same time, feeling glad to be able to login and take part in this wonderful forum after a long day.

My niece joined the HS marching band, and went to band camp last weekend. After three days, she realized that she wasn't happy, so she made numerous phone calls and begged to be picked up. Today, I took time off early from work and drove to get her. Finally made it home around 9:30 PM. After spending nearly 7 1/2 hours on the road, I'm so glad to be able to find some comfort in the living room couch *sigh*

[GeeksAreHotter]

I'm feeling a little bit sad today. :(

Why are you feeling confused & a little anxious Geeks?

Sorry to hear you are sad Sapphire.

I was feeling confused because I didn't know how to start writing an essay (:D ) and anxious because I didn't know if the girl I love and I will ever end up together. I spent this afternoon with her though and now I KNOW that we will be together soon, and for a long time after that!

Love is grand!:D :D :D

[**Sapphire**]

I'm feeling very sad & hurt today. This may not sound like alot, but my female cat tore the hell out of my arm this AM before I was to leave for work. She was rubbing against me while I was sitting on the bed watching the news. She laid down next to me & I was petting her a little bit, next thing I know she clamps onto me with her teeth & scratched my arm up pretty badly. I don't like her very much right now & to be honest, now I'm a little scared of her. I'm glad I'm at work at the moment as I don't know what I would do being around her at home. I know I wouldn't hurt her, but I know I would be very scared of her & stay away from her.

Both of my cats have been acting up the past 2 days since my fiance has been gone away for work. Guess maybe she decided to act out on ME instead of my other cat this AM! :(

[stoner]

I'm sorry about the pain in your arm Sapphire. Hopefully, it's something that's not going to need the attention of a medical professional. I can still vividly remember being given a shot, after being bitten by my aunt's dog. I'm not much of a cat person, but I didn't realize that cats can get moody too?

Anyway, I'm still feeling stressed as I haven't had enough sleep last night after all those hours I spent behind the wheel yesterday. Today, the family's going camping and I haven't even packed my stuff yet!! :( And then, I will need to go and get the tent, tarp, sleeping bags ... all that stuff in the garage, and then hit the road again ... just the thought of it is making me feel stressful already. arrrgghhh...

[**Sapphire**]

Thanks stoner!

Hopefully once you get to the campsite you can have a little time to relax & enjoy so you can re-charge yourself after all the driving you did! :) Have fun camping! :)

[stoner]

Thank you Sapphire.

Camping is always fun, and I'd been doing it for many years, even before I met my wife. It's always the preparation part (prior) and the set-up process (once there) that makes it stressful, but once everything is in place, it is very relaxing indeed. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate, considering we got tickets to take part in the Jazz festival in Newport, RI. It's an all-weekend gathering, but we're only going to be a part of it on the Saturday event.

[~Teej~]

Aww Sapphire, what a terror of a cat you have, mine used to be a nightmare as well..

I hope you have a nice time camping Stoner...I love camping but I hardly ever go :(

[T12am]

On lunch right now.. glad it's Friday! Hope you all have a good weekend!

[stoner]

My wife and I just got back from what turned out to be an amazing weekend. It rained practically all day Friday, and was considering getting a hotel room for the night en route to the camping destination. Fortunately, the rain stopped just in time as soon as we arrived there, that we managed to set-up the tent, had a lovely bonfire and burned some marshmallows before calling for the night. We also had a wonderful time at the Newport Jazz Festival ... actually, too much fun that the only time we spent at the camp for the entire weekend was to sleep in the tent!

I will post about the jazz festival later ... for now, it's time for me to go to sleep as I get ready to go back to work tomorrow ... ho-hum...

[**Sapphire**]

Doing pretty good today considering it's Monday...UGH! :( :)

Glad that you had a good weekend stoner! :)

[~Teej~]

I had a really good day...Went to Thorpe Park and went on loads of rollercoasters :cool:

Back to work tomorrow Yawn...But then I get to be on the forum all day and chat to lovely members so it's not all bad

[stoner]

I feel a bit refreshed (well somewhat) after what seemed like a long day yesterday with work, and all them household chores that I had to catch up with since I went away over the weekend. The good thing is that this is my final week at work, before going on a two-week vacation ... yay! ... just four more days, including today. :)

[Riggs]

I feel like going on another vacation too.

[**Sapphire**]

Feeling good today despite it raining AGAIN!

I think I need a vacation as well.

[Riggs]

Where to you like to go to on vactions?

[stoner]

My wife just called and informed me that she got tickets to the Yankees game. I'm not a big baseball fan, but I've accompanied my wife many times to the games, and I actually end up having fun in the process. Basically, I respond to the trumpet-like siren and to what the big screen tells us to do (e.g. "charge!"), cheer when everybody cheers, and shout "boo!" when everyone else boos ... rofl to date, the hometown team that we've visited end up winning the game.
Her goal is to be able to visit every major city and see that hometown team play the game. I think she's very determined ... I guess we're headed for a road trip to the Bronx this Thursday.

[**Sapphire**]

Sounds like fun stoner. I'm not much of a baseball fan either, but I did enjoy the game I went to with my fiance back in June. We went to see the White Sox play. Didn't much like the other couple we went with, but that's a whole other story! :D

[DarkPrince]

Feeling pretty good, had an interesting day at work, and was glad I was kept busy or I would've been bored to death and feeling crappy at the end of it. Pretty excited as well that I was able to pre-order a really awesome collectors edition game coming out next week. :D

That's cool stoner, I'm a yankee freak, and Yankees stadium is probably one of the most exciting ballparks I've ever been too. Love going there. I'm always a freak as I can get really into the game. :p

[stoner]

Thank you DarkPrince for the encouragement. I'm going to look forward to seeing the game this Thursday. Come to think of it, I find it kinda' funny just knowing that after so many years that my wife and me kept driving by Yankee Stadium (by I87 - Major Deegan Expressway), this will be our first time going to see a game there. lol...

To date, we had seen the Orioles, Expos (back when they were still in Montreal), Phillies, Mets, and the Cardinals. We will add the Yankees to the list this Thursday.

Sapphire: I have lots of relatives in Chicago, especially in the suburbs of Skokie, Glenview and Waukegan. Maybe, the next time I post about baseball, it will be about the team you mentioned above and the cubbies ... lol ... that is *if* we could get a vacation to visit your wonderful city.

[**Sapphire**]

Stoner that's pretty cool! I'm not a Cubs fan, I'm more of a White Sox fan. As I'm sure you know the lines are pretty drawn when it comes to our 2 baseball teams here. It's pretty funny thing the HUGE loyalties to the 2 teams!

[DarkPrince]

Thank you DarkPrince for the encouragement. I'm going to look forward to seeing the game this Thursday. Come to think of it, I find it kinda' funny just knowing that after so many years that my wife and me kept driving by Yankee Stadium (by I87 - Major Deegan Expressway), this will be our first time going to see a game there. lol...


It will be an interesting experience, trust me. I've been to plenty of Yankee games since I moved here to jersey and they are tons of fun. That is if the Yanks are actually playing well. Right now they're not doing too bad, they have an off night every now and then. Hopefully the game you'll be at will be a good one!

[~Teej~]

I feel really good today..

The work internet is working and I am having a relaxing day..taking work at my own pace today...not stressing myself out for a change. :cool:

[**Sapphire**]

I'm doing pretty darn good today. My heavy work load finally went down, so now I can be on here a bit more.

Teej, sure glad that your internet at work is better I was missing you! :)

[Penguin_Woman]

I'm feelin ok. Passing through Indiana right now and it's pretty gray and cloudy. But that's ok...helps me see my computer screen

[pika]

Feeling lonely and lost currently.......

Kind of sad whenever i think about relationships....i really admire people who can live their life as it is......shout out "singlehood is no big deal!!!!" and i am learning to accept this fact just to make me more happy...sigh

[~Teej~]

It's still playing up but it is a bit better now...the biys are slowly working stuff out :) I really hope they do as well because my work is so boring when I can't come on here.

I'm missing you to Sapphire

[**Sapphire**]

Feeling ok today, it's my day off or work so I get to do some shopping later on.

Hopefully your internet will be fixed & back good as new Teej. :)

[T12am]

Tomorrow is my day off and I plan to hit the gym as usual, go to work to seal the deal with this client, and then relax..

[GeeksAreHotter]

Right now? Hungry. But also really good. I know the girl who I love loves me back and although the situation may not be perfect I'm happy that she loves me. Right now, that is as much as I could ask for. And I get to see her today.

And then there is Doctor Who tomorrow.

So yeah, pretty good.

[stoner]

I feel a bit tired and exhausted. My wife and I just got back from very first Yankee game and it turned out to a very nice time. Though they lost to the Pirates, the game itself and the vibe among the peeps there were all good. Tonight, I'm going to catch some Z's, as I have to meet all my deadlines at work ... then I'm off to enjoy my vacation (well hopefully).

[**Sapphire**]

I'm a little bit tired today. Spent a good portion of the day shopping with my fiance & then putting all the stuff away. I did have enough time to relax afterwards, but I guess it wasn't enough. When the alarm went off for me to get up & SOO wanted to sleep in.

[~Teej~]

I'm feeling good at the moment..I finish work in 40 minutes and we are going bowling, for chinese and then to see Rush Hour 3..should be a fun evening

[stoner]

I feel relieved and well rested, given that it's my first day away from work. Suddenly, with all this time in my hands ... I'm feeling very bored. As the days progressed, I'm sure that will change very soon, especially with all the plans ahead of me.

My niece will be celebrating her 14th birthday in three days, and she has already invited her friends to come over. Before heading off to the ballgame yesterday, I accompanied her to the local party store for banners, tiaras, kazoos, confetti, water balloons and other party-related stuff. The home is going to look like a circus with all them decorations. Plus I've been appointed to set-up the pool, refill the fuel tank for the grill, do the grocery shopping and do the cooking, considering that I'm on vacation. Oh boy ... this is going to be fun :confused:

Plans for yet, another camping excursion is in the works for the wifey, my niece and me for next weekend. Come to think of it, I never got the tent, sleeping bag and other gear cleaned and prepped since we got back from the last camping trip. Well, I guess I'd better get to work on that asap. :D

For now, well since I woke up, I'd been playing my guitar as usual ... just for the heck of it, after meeting Bruce Hornsby in person and getting his autograph just this past weekend, I had decided to learn to play one of his songs. I choose "Mandolin Rain" - a mid 80s hit of his from his commercially successful album "The Way It Is." As I started to sing a few lines and strum the accompanying chords, I realized that I had underestimated the amount of melancholy associated with this song. Though I'm so over it now ... singing the song did brought back some memories from the past and it was enough to make me feel depressed for a very brief period.

[stoner]

Oh, what a headache! :( I must've underestimated how tired I was that didn't even realize falling asleep in the couch. Now, I just woke up feeling as if I just had a hangover (sans the alcohol!).

Upon arriving home from a long day in church with the family, I decided to do two loads of laundry, eat dinner, and then started watching a video. I was watching Zodiac, and since no one in my household are into "scary" movies, I end up watching it myself. It wasn't scary at all ... and there were periods where certain scenes and situations dragged on. I think that was when I "mysteriously" blacked out in the living room.

*sigh* I think it's time to get me some Tylenol...

[**Sapphire**]

Hope your headache is feeling better by now stoner.

I'm feeling very tired today. I did alot of cleaning & straightening up in the house yesterday. It rained ALL DAY so it was a perfect day to do things indoors. I'm also pretty tired from all the rain we have been getting the past couple weeks. It's STILL raining today & supposed to all day w/good chances of rain all this week! UGH...I will have to make a big effort to not fall asleep at my desk this week.

[~Teej~]

I feel better knowing it's only 15 minutes until i go home..I've had such a hetic day..Can't wait to just get in the bath and relax

[Penguin_Woman]

Feeling ok now. :) Now that I'm indoors. It is impossibly ot out and very humid here...bleh

[~Teej~]

I'm not well today, my stomach hurts :( I want to be at home in bed.

[T12am]

Hope you feel better Teej =)

I'm up early for the gym as usual... having a good morning so far because I have today off! Going shopping later!

[**Sapphire**]

Aww Teej, I hope that you feel better soon hun! :( :)

I'm doing better today, not as tired, I went to bed fairly early last night & slept like a rock. So now I can take on today & all the "fun" of work! :)

[stoner]

Hope you feel better Teej ... it must be a stomach virus. I just got over it over this past weekend, and perhaps, it might have contributed to the exhaustive feelings that I had recently.

Thank you for your concern Sapphire. I felt much better afterwards ... took a couple of Tylenol and slept for another hour-and-a-half. I woke feeling much much better. :)

It's been raining here as well for the past three days. Yesterday, I cleaned did some serious house cleaning to ease off the boredom. Shortly afterwards, my wife and I decorated some, and did most of the food shopping for our niece's birthday. Today she turns the big 1 - 4, and the place right now looks like a circus with all the decorations. A couple of hours from now, her guests will start arriving...

[stoner]

I feel kinda' bummed out (well somewhat). I played my beloved HD-28 (Martin) tonight, and found out that it had acquired its very first "ding" on the top finish. :( The good news that it's not visible, unless you really look at it, and that it had added to the overall "mojo" of the instrument. At the same time, however, it was enough to make me feel down, considering that I vowed to keep it in pristine condition as possible (museum-looking piece would be ideal), since I acquired it.

Other than that, I feel so exhausted and intoxicated, biut still going as we speak ... currently taking a break ... so hopefully, my posts will make some sense. I'm still feeling the effects of those glasses of chianti and Chilean merlot ... I guess I will find out hours from now when I wake up in the morning! :D

It rained like there was no tomorrow today, but it turned out to be such a nice day overall. My niece celebrated her 14th birthday today with her friends. Despite the rain, they managed to make the best out of it. Armed with a tarp, rope, step ladder, pocket knife and with some assistance from the trees, poles and posts, I managed to create a temporary shelter from the rain in my backyard. It was like going on a camping excursion, except that the setting happened to be taking place in my backyard... I mean literally.

I also end up setting up the grill and the outdoor fireplace in the process. The latter was chosen by my niece and her friends as they attempted to keep themselves warm by the bonfire in the fireplace. They also managed to burn marshmallows and made smores, as well as, cook hotdogs on a skewer.

After her friends went on to their respective homes, there was another birthday celebration for my niece. This time, it involved with the presence of her entire family. The gas grille worked full time to prepare them food items for the dinner table. It was also the time when I heard the cork popped and the red wines began to pour through the modest opening of the wine glasses. As a family overall, well, all had a wonderful and fantastic time ... hopefully it won't be the last...

[GeeksAreHotter]

Like a complete and utter idiot. I got really worried over somehting I shouldn't have and I don't know what's going to happen becasue of it. I hope she forgives me.

God i hope I haven't f-ed thing us.:(

[~Teej~]

What happpened Geeks?.

[GeeksAreHotter]

I've posted about it in my other thread (http://www.asktheloveforum.com/relationship-forum/showthread.php?p=10613#post10613), so I'll just quote that here;

My S.O rang me at uni today and it was brillaint. A complete surprise and it made me really happy. We talked for a while and she said that she finished class at 2pm. i said that was a shame bacause I start my second class at 2 so i couldn't go see her. We say our goodbyes and i-love-yous and hang up.

Then I realise that if she could get herself to Uni I'd be able to use her from my photography class AND hang out with her, so I send her a message asking if that would be cool and that I'd ring back at 2.

So 2 come and I ring back. She answers, says a few words and then the phone just goes dead. confused I ring back ,some bloke answers and I sak to speak to her. This guts says "who's that?" and hangs up.

I try ringing back again and the phone just rings out.

I start to worry. All these things run through my head like she might have been hurt or got in trouble somehow and I just panic. I keepy triyn to ring her and her phone just rings out.

After a while I can't take it anymore so i run out of class, jump on the train and go up to where her school is. Her school is near a shopping mall so I search the mall for her, all the while trying to ring her. I can't find her and I'm really getting worried.

I know that she always gets to the train station at a certain time I go there ot wait. About 10 minuets before she is due to arrive I ring her again. Fianly, she answers. I tell her that I was worried and all that and she was in a bad reception area so didn't get my calls.

I ask her where she is and she says she is waiting for a bus to go to her friends house. So I'm standin there, after running around like a nob, at the train station alone and feeling right stupid.

I feel really bad about the whole thing and appologise. About an hour later I SMSed her to appologise again.

.........

Now I'm really scared that, after what I did today, she'll think I'm over protective or whatever and not want to be with me

I want to just call her and talk but i can't. We planne to meet Friday so I really hope she doesn't pull out of that. If she does I'll know that I've scared her off.

Addriviated a little, but that is pretty much what the other thread says.

[**Sapphire**]

Doing ok today, a little tired, but I'm hoping a couple cups of coffee will cure that.

[stoner]

I'm supposed to be on vacation, and yet I feel more tired than ever. :confused: :(

So far, I'd been keeping up with the housekeeping. I got my niece to clean up with the mess that she and her friends left behind from yesterday's party. My wife will start her vacation this Thursday, and I can't wait!

The wife and I visit Tanglewood, at least, once a year. It's just such a nice place to go and lay the blanket on the lawn, set-up the chairs, pop open the cork and enjoy glasses of merlot or cabernet with cheese and crackers, as The Boston Symphony Orchestra serenades us with the music of the great masters. This Friday, we're heading over there, not to see the BSO, but to see James Taylor in concert. It should be a great evening in the Berkshires.

After that, we'll plan for yet another camping trip (our third so far) before the summer's over ... seems like we got our week already planned out. :p

[**Sapphire**]

Doing pretty good today a little tired, but that is probably due to all the rain we have been having here lately. I hope it dries out soon, this is getting to be a bit much.

[stoner]

Doing pretty good today a little tired, but that is probably due to all the rain we have been having here lately. I hope it dries out soon, this is getting to be a bit much.

I share your concern ... hopefully the weather will start cooperating soon.

[stoner]

With this weather not working in our favor, I think I'm going to call the box office to change the ticket to indoor seating, as opposed to general admission (lawn) for tomorrow's concert. It's a sold out show, so I'm hoping for something good here...

Otherwise, I'm feeling tired as my niece yanked me out of bed pretty early today to give her mom a ride to work. For now, I'll wait until I feel like snoozing again and I will welcome it warmly! :D

[stoner]

I feel very refreshed from the experience in the Berkshires, but at the same time, feeling tired from the punishment on the road. James Taylor's concert at Tanglewood was so awesome!! Last night's performance was pretty much a "one-man-show." It was weird not seeing him with other musicians backing him up, but it was a pleasant surprise. It was just him singing his heart out, while accompanying himself with his priced Olson guitars. It was quiet, cool and cozy ... James' style stimulated that of a coffee shop atmosphere, but in a much larger, arena-type setting. There was something about him that made the crowd (me included) listen intently to every song, and kept wanting for more ...

and the weather cooperated, so I didn't even need to try to get an inside seat ticket for the performance. :)

This marks the second one-man show I've attended to to date. The first one was in the early 1990s ( :eek: eek ... am I really that old?! :confused: ) when I saw Neil Young in concert. It was just Neil by himself, along with his arsenal of acoustic guitars, harmonica and a grand piano.

And being back home means, my wife and I need to start packing the tent, sleeping bags and other outdoor gear for yet another camping trip before the summer's over. This will be our third camping trip this summer, and perhaps it might be for the last time as Fall comes into view within a few weeks. We'll hit the road again this coming Monday, and I think we've settled on a tentative destination: Mystic, CT ... I believe we'll stick to it. :D

[**Sapphire**]

Sounds like you had a good time stoner, great! :)

I'm feeling a bit tired today. Woke up early to go wash clothes, put them all away & had a late breakfast. Now I think it's time for a little nap.

[stoner]

I feel a little bit exhausted tonight. Upon arrival from a long day in church, I end up doing three loads of laundry, and started packing the car for tomorrow's camping trip. I'm almost finished packing ... just waiting for the rest to come out of the dryer as I'm tying this. :D

After weeks of thoughtful consideration, I decided to join (again!) the praise team in church. I told them that my involvement would only be a peripheral one, wherein I could join them at rehearsal, so I can familiarize with the repertoire, and keep up with my playing. However, in times of need, I could be tapped in as back-up in the absence of members. And today happened to be one of those days where I end up filling in for both the 10:00 and 2:00 service ... whew, what a long day! :o

Afterwards, my wife treated me to a very nice pasta dinner ... linguine with white clam sauce ... mmmm, my favorite! :p

[**Sapphire**]

Feeling pretty good today, had a busy weekend, but doing all I did will make up for not having to do it over the 3 day weekend coming up. I know it's only 1 extra day next Monday, but it really does make a difference. Hopefully this week at work will be a little bit less hectic.

[~Teej~]

Feeling okay today, trying not to worry so much

[**Sapphire**]

What are you worried about Teej?

I'm doing ok today, again I could have slept in a lot longer. I have tomorrow off to be able to do that though.

[stoner]

Wow ... what a blast!! Had a great time, but simultaneously, feeling exhausted from all the punishment on the road on the way back home. Isn't it funny to feel, that what I need after returning from a vacation is another vacation?! :confused:

Anyway, our third camping excursion this summer, by far was the most ambitious yet. Our attempt to avoid the ridiculous traffic by the Interstate in Connecticut, basically was a lost cause, as the alternate route took just as long (time-wise). Nevertheless, it also turned out to be some of the best sightseeing trips we've done in a while, with a few stops in between. Eastern Long Island has a lot of beautiful sceneries. We enjoyed the wineries and vineyards as we drove through the rural route. We made a few stops along the way, did some wine tasting and purchased quite a few bottles for the trip. Basically, it was our version of "Sideways" -- if you haven't seen the film, it's strongly recommended BTW. :) There's one winery called Martha Clara Vineyards, where my niece and I emptied our change purchasing oyster crackers, to which we used to feed the goats in their mini petting zoo.

The hour-long ferry ride from Orient Point, LI to New London, CT also turned out to be a special treat. The view was awesome, the breeze had a nice chill (but not too overbearing), and most of all someone else was doing the driving for me! :D I never realized that salt water can actually smell great...

Prior to our departure, I was wondering how come the wife threw a fit when I was setting up the tent ... only to find out that she reserved a cabin/lodge, instead of the usual tent site when we got there!! Even though it didn't feel like camping at all, I will admit that the lodge was beautiful. I loved the sweet scent of pine and cedar upon my initial entry. I've never felt spoiled in my entire life camping ... it came equipped with a full-size bed, a bunk bed, full bath, kitchen, and living room. It even came equipped with cable TV and wi-fi net access. Like I said, it didn't feel like camping at all!

The first thing that got my attention was the lodge's front porch equipped with a swing. It was the first thing I sat on after unpacking my stuff. Maybe I was having such an ego trip, that while accompanied with a bottle of Sam Adams, I found myself playing guitar and singing some Jimmy Buffet tunes. The lyrics, "strummin' my six string on my front porch swing" came to mind while I was doing that. What surprised me was that even though I never practiced Margaritaville before, I actually managed to sing the song in its entirety. The passers by must've thought I was nuts.

Oh yeah, I set my alarm at 5:00 a.m. Tuesday morning to witness the much anticipated lunar eclipse. Just when the process was about to be completed (about 95%), the break of dawn and the low-lying clouds by the horizon obscured it! Oh, what a bummer!! :( I went back to bed feeling somewhat frustrated about it ...

Though our stay in Mystic was short, we managed to do a lot of stuff there. Hiked a 3 1/2 mile nature trail overlooking the Atlantic Ocean not so far away from the seaport; did some shopping at the Old Mystic Village; enjoyed the quaint shops and inns, and even had time to visit the Aquarium there. Mystic is basically (almost) everything you'd ever want to see in a New England town. Kinda wished we had more time cos I really wanted to visit neighboring Providence in RI. Instead, we end up with our plan B, where we had dinner and played slots at Foxwoods. We lost (of course!) but it was all in good fun.

Sometimes, the things that weren't planned could also turn out to be fun. As we kept driving, we accidentally ran across a seafood shack. We stopped of course, and before we knew it, we were driving back to our camp with bags full of lobsters, clams, and salmon for dinner. Our clam-bake had never been better ... grilled the salmon on the open fire and steamed the lobsters and clams with beer in a large caramel popcorn can.

On our way home today, we managed to grab lunch and play more Mohegan Sun (lost again! :D ); and then hit a factory outlet mall, before hitting the long road home. So here I am back at home, and feeling exhausted from all the driving, emptying the car and unpacking our stuff. Thought that while I'm taking a breather (and still fresh from my memory), I could share my story with everyone. :)

[stoner]

I feel very sad, tired, fatigued, aggravated, frustrated, worried ... all tossed into one mixed bag simultaneously. :(

Heading home from church, my wife got into an accident on the Interstate today. :( It started out as rubbernecking traffic, but as the traffic began to move, the SUV in front of her abruptly went to a full stop and before my wife could hit the breaks in time, she rear-ended it. I was driving another car following her from behind when I witnessed the whole thing unfold before my very eyes. We attended Sunday services in two separate times today so we drove separately, but end up heading home at the same time.

Right now, she feels shaken up, but she claims that she feels alright. She has bruises (more like burn marks) on her face as a result of the airbag deploying on her, and bruises on her chest (as per the airbag and seat belt). Against my concerns, she had repeatedly refused medical treatment, so I hope that she will continue to feel o.k. For now, she applied antibacterial ointment on the affected areas of her face.

I had the car towed to my house, and she is looking like a very rotten piece of work. :( The car basically went under it, due to the SUV's high clearance, pushing the whole front inwards. I don't know what to think at this moment ... it just frustrates me just the thought of the aggravation from the insurance company, having to put up with fines from the ticket that the officer issued since it was her fault, and whether or not the car is still salvageable or should just be towed away to the nearest junkyard. :confused:

The automobile is a necessity in our household *unfortunately*, so that means I may get to spend time looking in dealer's lots ...

[Tuxie]

Oh man stoner... I hate to hear about your wife. Accidents are very unsettling things. I can sympathize with you. My ex-wife was involved in an accident last week going to church. I got the phone call at 7:30am... spent 6 hours in the emergency room with her (just because of the er being busy). She's alright now, but I'm being her driver for awhile.

At least she's ok, thankfully.


I've had alot of stress lately, so I'd say I'm stressed.

[stoner]

Thank you for your concern Tuxie. I really appreciate it. Right now, she's resting in the bedroom ... this is actually the first time she'd slept early in a while. She's pretty shaken up, and given this is her very first major accident, the impact is great (even though she won't talk about it much). I sure hope that she feels better, and able to engage in daily routines and activities, without much physical and emotional hassles. Like you, I think I'll be her driver for quite sometime until she can gather enough confidence to drive again. By then, we should have another vehicle to replace the one that got smashed.

Still with mixed feelings at the moment...

[Penguin_Woman]

Sorry to hear about your wife, Stoner. People can drive like real jerks. I'm sure she'll be ok. Thank God for the airbag and seatbelt. Sorry about your ex too, Tuxie

[stoner]

Thank you for your concerns Jwolfgirl. She's still asleep as I'm typing this, and since I haven't heard any complaints from her (e.g. pains, discomfort), I think you're right on the money that she'll be o.k. Thank you again, and I truly appreciate it :)

[Tuxie]

Sorry about your ex too, Tuxie


Thanks for the concern.

Oh... and I'm feeling ok today. I gots projects to do today... everything from cutting the yard to replacing a hard drive in a laptop. Busy day....

[Penguin_Woman]

Not feelin the best today. Been feeling kinda sick to my stomach lately, not eating much.

[GeeksAreHotter]

Exited, actually. Not sexualy, but yeah, today should be fun!

[**Sapphire**]

I know I'm late, but I'm sorry to hear about your wife stoner. I am glad that she is ok & on the mend. I'm also glad to hear your ex-wife is ok too Tuxie.

I hope your feeling better Jwolf.

As for me I am not doing very well today. We had a good weekend up until yesterday. Sunday evening our neighbor below us asked if we could move her out yesterday. She said she was going to have her nephew & son there as well as my fiance for the guys to help move the large items she has. Well, it turned out it was mainly my fiance & her nephew doing all the large items. Our neighbor across from us helped out a bit too. Not only that we moved her daughter's stuff too as they are going to be living together. Needless to say it was a VERY LONG day yesterday & it was rather hot to be moving as well. We both learned out lesson to not help anybody else when they may decide to move, especially if they are as unorganized as she was! :eek:

So today I am very tired & a little miffed at the neighbor & also our neighbors next to us as we got a little "in to it" for them both running their mouths off about my fiance. I was extremely tired, hot, & wanting to go home last night & they decided to shoot off their mouths about my fiance & his (according to them) lack of work ethic (in regards to both guys working together). I know my fiance's work ethic, I know he's a hard worker & they were not going to talk trash at all, so I let them have it. It felt pretty damn good too as I don't like or trust either 1 of them & have been wanting to have my say for a while. :mad:

[stoner]

I feel tired and very stressed today as I haven't had any rest yesterday, and accompanied with not being able to sleep well last night.

I think it's due to the household chores that I end up doing mostly by myself, and the trips to the pharmacy as my wife started complaining about pains on the affected areas of her face and neck.

On Labor Day, while most of my neighbors were playing games, with the pool and barbecue set up in the backyard, I spent most of the day in dealers' lots looking for a replacement vehicle. I've always had good luck with Subaru, so I'm thinking of getting another one. Unfortunately, the need came at a bad time when we have other things to worry about (financially), so I guess I'll find the smallest and least expensive Subaru available on the lot ... right now, I'm leaning towards the basic Impreza.

I'm also trying to contact my physician ... hopefully his office opens after the long holiday weekend soon. Finally, my wife is seeking medical attention (as per my advice to her two days ago). In the meantime, I'll try to get some sleep ... every little bit counts ...

p.s.
-- thank you for your concern Sapphire ... I truly appreciate it :)

[stoner]

I hope you're feeling better Jwolf.

I get upset stomach (and some) quite often myself, that at one time, I made endless trips to see a gastroenterologist because of it. Luckily, I don't have any serious conditions, but I just have to be extra careful with what I eat, due to divertoculosis which I (unfortunately) happen to have.

[~Teej~]

I feel okay today surprislingly as I am expecting rejection soon from th e person that means the world to me...I am feeling quite clear headed about things...I realise that even if I do get rejected then at least I will have closure and I won't be confused anymore..

[Penguin_Woman]

Sorry for your troubles, Sapphire. Good for you for telling them how you feel. Glad your wife is seeking medical care, Stoner. I drive those that care about me crazy for not wanting to go to the doctor myself. Still not feeling well...compounded by issues with uhhh...that time of the month (sorry to gross y'all out). So feelin pretty awful overall

[~Teej~]

I can sympathise with you there JWolf...I get bad monthly pains to...feel better soon though xx

[jimbo666]

i felt wonderful and happy all weekend...had lots of fun and met what i thought was a good girl.....was dead wrong. not sure why but been fatigued and tired and exhausted all day. been depressed and sad all day....mind just wondering again i guess. at least i had a very good 4 day weekend with some friends :)

[stoner]

way to go jimbo ... there's a saying that goes "lonely things like nights, I find, end finer with a friend" (well, somewhere along those lines).

It's good to know that you're feeling better.

As for myself, I'm feeling very tired and exhausted that I don't feel like going to work today, but I have to (don't really have a choice). Been driving practically all day yesterday, taking my wife to the doctor, dermatologist; running a lot of errands mostly on my own; and then putting up with the aftermath of the accident (insurance, police report and summonses).

On top of that, I'm still having an either or dilemma with our automobile situation. Yesterday, I almost closed the deal on a Subaru Impreza wagon at the local dealership, but wasn't really sure if my wife is ready to get behind the wheel again after what she'd been through. The '08 models have been redesigned with more room and "bling" which I'm getting a good vibe with, but then again, an automobile for me is really more of a necessity instead of a luxury item that the leftover '07 model seem like a good grab atm. I really need to make a decision on this within a day or two...

[jimbo666]

a new car? sweet! yeah i don't wanna go to work today either lol. we ran for PT this morning now i'm all tired and feelin kinda sick from the run. oh well it'll be an easy day at least....also i'm in a good mood so guess thats always a plus :)

[**Sapphire**]

Sorry your feeling so tired stoner, I hope that you can rest up soon. Gotta keep yourself ok, so you don't get sick or run down too much.

Glad to read that you are in a better mood today jimbo, keep the good days & moods going! :)

I'm doing better today, got a good night's rest as I was still tired from moving the neighbor Monday. Now I feel refreshed & pretty much ready to take on all the work I have here at my job today. :eek: :)

[stoner]

a new car? sweet!

Honestly though, we were planning on getting something better next year ... that is IF everything worked out as planned, as we've been saving funds (hopefully enough to make a down payment - and some if the occasion warrants it) for it too. We were initially thinking about a small SUV, such as the Subaru Forester or something more ambitious as the BMW X5 - that is if we could afford it.

But the accident changed all that; we really need another car ... soon, and we really haven't saved much. I tend to lean towards the Subaru, simply for the reason that it was the most reliable of all the brands of cars that I had owned all these years. I had one Subaru that served me well for 14 years, and that car never broke down on me ... not even once. Plus, my wife and I have a fondness for the great outdoors, and I tend to enjoy the winter season, so it seemed like the perfect vehicle for our persona.

My wife was driving a Subaru Impreza when she got into an accident. Sure I'm devastated at the loss of the vehicle. But looking at the wreckage, I must say that I was very impressed at the way it handled all that punishment from the collision. The front was wrecked, but everything else including the casing of the entire vehicle remains fully intact without a single broken window or windshield. The car did a good job at the the Cadillac Escalade it rear ended. In addition to the damage on the back, the SUV will surely spend ample time in the shop where it's being fixed cos the bottom center of the frame bowed slightly upward. Hopefully the shop has some machine to "pull" and straighten it out. And all this occurred at a 45 MPH speed on the Interstate. Above it all, my wife walked out of it with only minor burns and bruises, and without any broken bones and the need of extensive medical treatment.

I will admit that the Subaru made a believer out of me, that I wouldn't even think twice about buying another one... :)

[Penguin_Woman]

Sorry your so run down, Stoner. Hope your feelin' better soon. Yeah that Subaru sounds pretty good. Grand am's are pretty good too. Back in like 1999...my husband, then my boyfriend, and I were driving from Milwaukee, WI to Orlando, FL. We were on our way back home...we were almost to the Wisconsin state line. We were in the far left lane, there was a semi truck in the middle lane and one in the right lane. The truck in the right lane suddenly cuts off the truck in the middle lane. The guy in the middle lane slams on his breaks, loses control and runs us into the cement wall we were next to. We wound up pinned between the wall and the truck. In between the truck and the trailer. We had pierced the truck's fuel tank in the process. Only way we got out is my husband had his window down at the time. We walked away sore but otherwise ok.

Sorry back OT: Still not feelin the best today

[~Teej~]

So more confused than I was before.

Why can't people be straightforward :confused:

I love you guys..I would go mad withourt you all xx :heart:

[stoner]

Sorry to hear about the confusion that's been bugging you lately Teej. Hopefully, you can just take your mind off it and have better times ahead.

Despite feeling extremely tired yesterday, going back to work after taking two weeks off, turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Upon my entry into the main entrance of the building, a student of mine (who has autism btw) ran in the hallway as fast as he could and gave me a hug. That incident alone made me feel that I'm going to have a very good school year ahead of me. :)

I wished that there's a part of me that didn't procrastinate too much. :p I went to the teacher store yesterday, and the place was like a mob scene! When I saw the extremely long line of fellow teachers waiting for the cashier, I decided to leave immediately. For now, I'll recycle the stuff that I had from last year (and maybe the year before) ... funny how the school went off to a good start, and I still have yet to decorate my classroom ... rofl.

Today, I'm feeling a bit tired as I'm still in the process of starting my day at quarter off 7 in the morning. Thankfully, I have a job that I look forward to when I wake up in the morning. :)

[Penguin_Woman]

Aww that's nice, stoner. :) Sounds like you really love your job. :)

[stoner]

Aww that's nice, stoner. :) Sounds like you really love your job. :)

Thank you very much ... doing this job makes me even appreciate the little things that we take for granted on a daily basis. I will admit that teaching individuals with Autism, Down Syndrome, MR and other medical, physical and neurologically-based conditions that affect their learning and functioning can be very challenging. But when you see them achieve something, even if it's just a step forward, it means the whole world to these individuals. In the process, their advances also make me appreciate the little things that we take for granted even more (as I had already mentioned). :)

I only wished that I discovered this vocation many years ago ... but as the saying goes, "some lessons and experiences are best learned on their own." After working in many areas in the past, I finally found what I wanted to do, and I owe it to the years I spent serving in the Peace Corps (overseas) and AmeriCorps (in our own backyard).

[Penguin_Woman]

That's wonderful Stoner. Teachers are a blessing. :)
My half-sister is Autistic so I know what a real blessing teachers like you are.

On topic: I'm feeling ok, I guess. Got a headache and my backend hurts from these bumpy roads

[**Sapphire**]

Glad to read that you are doing better now that the school year has started stoner! :)

Hee hee...get a "booty" pad for those bumpy roads Penguin! :D

I'm doing ok today, didn't really want to get up earlier, but it's Thursday. I needed to get my butt in here & get those mountain of work done...*sigh* :eek: :(

[Pink]

I am alright today. Atleast is isn't Monday! :rolleyes: I am going to suprise bf with dinner tonight so hopefully that will go over well.

[stoner]

Things are going well today ... keeping my cool. Just got a new child with autism who just practically screamed from the moment he entered the classroom. An assistant teacher took him out for a walk, and I could still hear his screams from the playground as I'm typing this. Anyway, I gotta go as the bell just rang ... :p

[Tuxie]

I feel like crap this morning... I slept maybe two hours last night... got some stuff on my mind.

[jimbo666]

i feel like crap too. suppose to another 4 day weekend but it got taken away for no reason. was up all night just thinking so no sleep. hopefully i cheer up today....another casino night with the guys :)

[**Sapphire**]

Sorry to read that you both aren't feeling too well today!

I'm doing good, thank God it's Friday!! Been a long week even with having Monday off!

[Penguin_Woman]

I've got a bit of a headache, my stomach hurts. Plus my emotions are all over lately. Just...a lot to think about. A lot of changes in my life.

[jimbo666]

wow that sux we're all having a bad day today....ITS FRIDAY TOO! oh well guess thats just how it goes sometimes. hopefully my night will be better than the day.

[Raven]

How am I feeling lol, best not go there today :eek:

[~Teej~]

I'm feeling good today...Am meeting Adam tomorrow for a chat..I'm really nervous but I can let him know exactly how I feel at least

[stoner]

Whew! What a week and I'm feeling very tired and exhausted! So many things happened all at once in just a week, and I'm glad that I rose above it all (well so far) ;)

Since the accident last Sunday, I'd been driving my wife to and from work and some errands in between. I also realized that the stress is beginning to get to me. I work during the day, and she works evenings. The morning commute doesn't bother me, but arriving home almost close to midnight can be such a drag. This is only going on for a week, so I can imagine what it's like if this pattern continues for a month or so. I am aware just how shook up she was from the experience, but I'm optimistic that she has overcome it ...

which leads to:

Today is my wife's birthday!!! Yesterday, I shook hands with the salesman and closed the deal on a 2007 Subaru Impreza wagon. If everything works out, I should be able to pick up the new car this afternoon, and surprise her with the keys ... hmm ... maybe a giant ribbon on the roof doesn't sound bad either (like those TV commercials). :D :D As I love the 08 models, I settled for the leftover 07 as the offers are just too good to pass, as per discounts, rebates and low financing. I just hope that my credit score is good enough to get the 2% finance rate. Otherwise, I'll settle with what my credit union has/had to offer me which isn't bad either.

Other than the car, I really don't have anything planned to make her birthday a special one. Any suggestions? *please* :o

Last night, my wife and I went to see the Mets home game at Shea Stadium against the Astros. As I previously mentioned, I'm really not a baseball buff (but she happens to be one) and going to the game can actually be fun. It's even a special treat when the home team wins the game (which these guys did) :)

After a somewhat "shaky" first week of the school year, with a schedule that's not quite written in stone yet, I'd been informed that my superiors are changing things around. One of those changes directly involves my room, my students and my role as a classroom teacher. At this point, I'll be optimistic that the change is going to be good ... I just hope that it's going to work in my favor. I guess I'll find out this Monday...

[Penguin_Woman]

Well, Happy Birthday to Mrs. Stoner (hehe that sounds funny) The car sounds very nice, Stoner. Maybe...take her on a romantic drive somewhere in her new car. :)

[Tuxie]

I can sympathize with that stoner. I'm getting tired of seeing the inside of my car! :eek: My son is helping some (one evening) but other than that... I'm running my ex everywhere.

A big happy birthday to Mrs. S!! I hope she has a great day! As for ideas... I'm not sure. Maybe dinner (you make or take her out), a boquet of purdy flowers... something like that.

Back to topic - I'm feeling groggy right now... I need Koffy. :D

[stoner]

Well, Happy Birthday to Mrs. Stoner (hehe that sounds funny) The car sounds very nice, Stoner. Maybe...take her on a romantic drive somewhere in her new car. :)

ha ha ha ... rofl

you got me cracked up on that one! :D

:D :D : My wife grinned at the thought that she married a one-time (as per her words) "neo-hippie who loved to smoke pot." :D :D :

Taking her on a drive does sound like a very good idea. Thank you!! :) I will do just that. For now, I need to get the car first.

*just for one day, I'm inserting a photo of myself playing one of my guitars as my signature. It was taken almost two years ago ... do I look like a neo-hippie as my wife said?*

[stoner]

Maybe dinner (you make or take her out), a boquet of purdy flowers... something like that.

Very good idea *I'm hitting my forehead for not thinking ... must be the loss of a lot of brain cells! :D * I'm calling to make a dinner reservation at this bistro, not so far away from our house ... I'll get some flowers on the way, after picking up the car.

[**Sapphire**]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mrs. S!! :)

I'm doing ok today. Was about ready to break the laptop though a minute ago. Got into the site & it was SLOW!! Now it seems to have gotten itself back on track, good thing too cause the laptop was gettng closer to the window!:D

Nice pic stoner, thank you for sharing it with us! :)

[Tuxie]

Eek! :eek: Don't do that!! Hehehe...

[**Sapphire**]

LOL...Tuxie I could NEVER break my laptop...I wanted 1 for a long time now! Although I was having those thoughts for a second or 2 before! :D

[stoner]

I feel very exhausted, intoxicated, excited and at an emotional high ... all sandwiched into one today. I know it's temporary, but I guess I'm just feeling the excitement that comes with buying a new car. What's more, I was fortunate enough to get the rebate, and I get to finance it for 36 months at 2%. I am so thankful that someone above is looking out me. :)

I picked up the car this afternoon and the it was indeed a beaut to see. She was so surprised when she opened the birthday card and the key slipped out of it! I told her to take a look in the driveway, and all she could do was give me a big hug ... that was more than enough for me. :) The first thing she did when she entered the vehicle was take a big whiff ... she said that she loved that new car smell. When she asked me to accompany her to take it for a spin, she took it for its first ever trip to the supermarket! Oh man, I was hoping for something more than that :rolleyes:

Dinner at the bistro turned out to be a good one. She couldn't decide whether she wanted steak or sushi ... fortunately the restaurant offered both, so we had the best of both worlds tonight. The glasses of cabernet sauvignon kept on pouring that I thought we would never be able to make it home. We took a walk to a nearby park, and when I started to feel sober an hour later, that was when we drove back home.

So here I am feeling a little tipsy as she just uncorked another bottle of the good stuff from the cabinet. :eek:

[~Teej~]

I feel bad, really bad...Adam did not meet me today...I text him and rang him once....and nothing....I guess I can get the hint that he's not interested :(

A simple txt to say he couldn't make it would have been nice

[Penguin_Woman]

Sounds like a very nice evening, Stoner. :)

Teej- I'm so sorry hun'. Maybe there's a reason he didn't call....

[Tuxie]

I feel bad, really bad...Adam did not meet me today...I text him and rang him once....and nothing....I guess I can get the hint that he's not interested :(

I'm sorry teej... I hate it when people don't contact to let you know what's going on.

@ Stoner - I'm happy the evening turned out well for you and the Mrs.


On topic: I'm feeling ok... with I slight headache. But it'll eventually fade in a bit.

[jimbo666]

i feel great today. won 1800 bucks at the casino and gettin a tattoo and just gonna relax all day...maybe hit up the gym tonight.

[jimbo666]

awww teej i'm sorry to hear that. your right he should have had the decency to text you he wasn't comin or something.....i would have. that sux.

[**Sapphire**]

Stoner, I'm glad to read that you & the Mrs. had a good night last night.

Teej, I'm real sorry hun! :( Maybe there was a reason he didn't text or call you. I don't understand people these days, why are so many of them just so IGNORANT!? :mad: Can't even have to common decency to call or text & say a couple little words, "sorry I can't make it tonight"!


I'm doing ok today. Was very angry last night at the rotten a** neighbors! I can't stand these people!! :mad: Penguin, hun, your probably going to have a long, very cursing PM to you about what they did last night. Can ya handle it? :D

[stoner]

I feel very tired and sleepy tonight. Got to get some sleep to get ready for work tomorrow.

Thank you for all the ideas that you gave me. It made the weekend for my wife and me one of the best ever. She still hasn't driven the new car yet, but for now, enjoying the ride while I drive her around will be fine. On Tuesday, she claims that she'll drive it on her own.

I'm posting a photo of the car, and it's a real beaut. :)

[Tuxie]

Very nice!! Thanks for sharing stoner. :)

I actually feel good this morning, BEFORE koffy.... wow. :rolleyes: How's everyone else doin'?

[Penguin_Woman]

I don't feel too bad this morning. Glad to be back in the midwest area. Been in the south and it was insufferably hot. Got a bit of spring in my step today for some reason.

Glad you and the Mrs. had a good weekend, Stoner!

Back to the topic: I feel tired, but I'm looking forward to starting my day at work. I think it's gong to be a good day today ... at least that's how I feel (I hope so). :)

[jimbo666]

i know how you feel pika. i dunno how people can be happy to be single for once. being single KILLS ME. guess it just matters to everyone in a different way. well i hope you feel better soon pika :)

[**Sapphire**]

Very nice car stoner, I'm glad the Mrs. liked it! :)

Penguin...nice weather we are having in the Midwest huh?

Today I'm feeling much better than yesterday. Back to work which isn't fun, but I gots to do what I gots to do! :D

[jimbo666]

i feel great today...other than i gotta go to work :( lol.

[~Teej~]

I feel quite good today surprisingly

[Penguin_Woman]

Sapphire- Yep just like you said. Kinda cloudy, but I don't mind. :D
I feel pretty good today. I found an apt here in IL and I'll be moving in fairly soon. So...I'm happy

[**Sapphire**]

Congrats on getting a new place here in IL Penguin! :)

I have a MAJOR headache, so I hope the 3 Advils I took a little bit ago will help it go away. I'm a little tired so I think I will check things out on here for a bit & probably go to bed pretty early tonight. The weather is so cool it's going to be great sleeping weather! :)

[~Teej~]

Aww no Sapphire, that sucks..i hope that you feel better soon

:)

[Tuxie]

Feeling good today... sorry you're not Sapphire, get better soon! :)

[**Sapphire**]

I am feeling much improved today thanks guys! :) So, glad that headache went away...that would not have been pretty to wake up with if the Advils didn't work.

[stoner]

Thankfully, your headache went away ... that's always a good thing Sapphire. :)

I'm feeling a bit cautious and fearing for my life, as per my doctor's warning and advice to change my habits, yesterday afternoon.

I found out that my cholesterol (the bad ones) level are unusually high for my age. With diet and exercise, I was surprised that he advised me to drink a glass of red wine (3x / week), and take fish oil? I will be seeing him again in two weeks, where he claimed that he may have to provide me with prescription medication to lower it.

Other than that, my work day is going smoothly, pending the enforcement of the "supposedly" changes that will have been taking place.

[Penguin_Woman]

Glad to hear your feeling better, Sapphire. Sorry about your cholesterol, Stoner. Yeah...my Dad swears by fish oil. He's dealt with high cholesterol for some time now. :)

I'm feelin ok, I guess. Getting a bit of a cough. Either allergies or might be a cold.

[stilldreaming]

My car works! No more walking! Yay im very happy today!

[jimbo666]

i feel great today but tired lol.

[~Teej~]

I feel good today, works boring but there's nothing new there.
I managed to sleep without crying last night as well so things can only be getting that slightly bit better

Also I am happy that my WOW character is now level 33, soon I will get my mount and that means no more running around..There's too much running in Wow...is a pain :P

[**Sapphire**]

Good, glad that you got your car back stilldreaming! :)

Good that you are feeling good jimbo!

Teej, happy to read that you aren't crying anymore, he doesn't deserve your tears hun! Too bad we are so far apart we could go out & have fun & take your mind off that :bootyshake: head! (((HUGS)))

Ok as for me, today I am doing pretty good. I'm having sinus issues, but after I take a couple aspirins & some of my nasal spray I HOPE to be back in order! This time of year is murder on my sinus's!

[~Teej~]

Aww thanks Sapphire...That just brought tears to my eyes :)

I would love to come out with you..if only...Maybe one day I will come and give you a visit :)

[Pink]

I feel like absolute crap today. BF and I are fighting like crazy (something we hardly do) and my sister is in the hospital. I haven't really slept in last few nights so I'm dragging my ***. I think I'm catching the nasty virus that's spreading around. Rant, rant, rant.

[**Sapphire**]

I'm sorry to hear about your sister & the arguments with your boyfriend Pink! I hope that she gets better soon & your 2 air out your differences so you can go back to loving again! :)

(((HUGS)))

[Penguin_Woman]

I'm feelin ok, I guess. It's a beautiful day here in Nebraska. I do have a headache but I'll live. lol Other than that I'm ok. My cough seems better

[daisychip]

how does a penguin survive in Nebraska?........lol................

Are you from here or just visiting?.........I can't imagine why but........

In the middle of nowhere is where I am at too..............it has been beautful outside but in my own world is dark and ugly.

[stoner]

Nebraska is one of the places on my list to visit ... well, someday ...

Back to topic: I feel very tired, as I went to bed pretty late last night. For some unknown reason, I got used to waking up a certain time in the morning, regardless of when I hit the sack the night before. I don't even need an alarm clock, for I just wake up naturally ...

Yes, it's supposed to be a Jewish holiday, but I'm going to work today :( I'm not Jewish or anything, and I have nothing against Jews, but I could really use that day off right now *yawn* My 14-year old claims that she has no school ... I guess it sucks to be me.

[jimbo666]

damn stoner....cheer up :D i gotta work today too...it DOES suck lol. its raining hard and its suppose to all day and i have to work outside all day :( i'm tired too and a lil depressed cuz i'm messin up with my new girl already. oh well we'll see how it goes tonight i guess.

[stoner]

It's alright dude. The good thing is that I really love my job. It's just that feeling of restlessness that's getting to me, and I think it has to do with driving the first lady to and from work ... she works evenings, so arriving home close to midnight is now becoming a common sight. Usually, I'd be snoring my butt off in bed before she even arrives home from work.

[~Teej~]

My job is always boring Stoner...I don't know how I do it every day???

Desk jobs are really not for me, but I stay for the money..

All the best jobs just don't pay enough which sucks.

I'm in a strange mood today. Adam is driving me home tonight as he is going to college near where I live..Maybe he will actually talk to me..Not that I really care anymore..It's to little too late if you ask me.

It's my brothers birthday tomorrow and I have brought him a nodding churchill dog lol can't wait till he sees it, he's gonna love it :D

[Penguin_Woman]

Stoner - Yeah some of it is cool...the old west and all. Pony express and things like that. Most of it is just nothing though. 450 miles of not much of anything. lol It's kinda nice in the summer...but the winters are horrid! Bitterly cold winds.

On topic: I'm ok...got a headache...again. But, what else is new? lol It's kinda nice here in Wyoming. Kinda cold though. Other than that I'm ok. :D

[**Sapphire**]

I'm doing pretty good today. Have the day off, I'm not Jewish, it just worked out that way that I have my regular every other Thursday off today! It's a nice sunny day & in a little bit I'm off to do some shopping. :)

[~Teej~]

Lucky you Sapphire...I hope that you buy something nice

[Pink]

I'm sorry to hear about your sister & the arguments with your boyfriend Pink! I hope that she gets better soon & your 2 air out your differences so you can go back to loving again! :)

(((HUGS)))

Thank you! I feel a lot better today. I actually got some sleep last night. Thank goodness! BF and I are still fighting, but I think it will work out.

[stoner]

I'm feeling tired, bored and sleepy ... after having a relaxing pint of my favorite brew, I'm so ready to hit the sack. But not yet. Not when I have to pick up the first lady from work at midnight. :( She works one weekend a month, and this weekend happens to be it.

[GeeksAreHotter]

Conflicted.

[daisychip]

Depressed..............today is football. I think the Steelers are televised and I can't spend the day watching with the person that made football worth watching for me. The season was made up of so much time together and now there's nothing. :(

[**Sapphire**]

I'm doing ok today. Going to be leaving in a while with my fiance back to my cousins. Their town is having their Oktoberfest & it's a lot of fun. We were there yesterday & we are all going back today.

[stoner]

Sounds like a good day to enjoy Oktoberfest Sapphire! Pardon my ignorance for I often affiliate Octoberfest-type events with beer - and lots and lots of it! :D If any chance either you or your fiance is a beer connoisseur, please have a pint for me? :)

Back to topic: so far, I think I'm beginning to feel awake now. I got out of bed initially to use the bathroom, but for some unknown reason, I could get back to sleep. Since waking up, I brewed some coffee, made myself a sandwich for breakfast, played my six-string until my left fingers ached, and then login the net. I think I'm going to hit the shower now to get ready for church this afternoon. Oh yeah, I should make it to the praise team rehearsal on time today ... my fellow bros and sis get somewhat ticked off at me when I show up late! :D Considering that I was an appointed deacon *sulk* :rolleyes:
hehehe...

[~Teej~]

It's a nice evening so I can't complain at all :p

[stoner]

It's 11:30 p.m., and I'm feeling really tired. I was anticipating on hitting the road to pick up the wifey from work @ midnight, but then she called, informing me that she had been placed on-call. That means she's spending the night at work, and I'll be picking her up tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. I got my password tonight and was planning on posting some photos, but now I'm having second thoughts. I guess I'll sleep over it...

[**Sapphire**]

I'm doing ok today I guess. I think I might have the "Monday Blues", don't want to be at work. Also, the internet AS USUAL is acting slower than slow so that is adding to my frustration.

[stoner]

I'm doing ok today I guess. I think I might have the "Monday Blues", don't want to be at work. Also, the internet AS USUAL is acting slower than slow so that is adding to my frustration.

I think we're both in the boat on this one. I feel tired as I had to force myself to get out of bed at 4:30 a.m. to pick up the wifey from her job at the hospital. I'm trying to stay awake on the job ... so far the caffeine is working. I'm planning to give myself a nice long nap in my car during my lunch break today. And then, I found out that the temporary registration on the new car expired, so now I'm contacting the dealer on how to resolve the issue, since the DMV isn't helping me at all. On top of that, I just got ticketed this morning because of it *sigh* :(

[Penguin_Woman]

Not feelin the best. I've had this low-grade headche all weekend.
But today it's gotten worse...along with pain behind my eyes.
Bleh...

[~Teej~]

Not very good today...Feeling quite low but not a lot I can really do about it :(

[daisychip]

I'm doing pretty good this morning..............besides the lower back pain is a little worse than usual...............I need a new bed!

My son just called and asked if I want to go out on the job with him today. I love the fact that we are so close! He really is my God given gift!

[WhackeyPatty]

I'm winding down a "numb day"--the kind you seem to float through on auto-pilot. Not really happy or sad...just numb. Anyone else ever get like that?

[aussiecoffee007]

yeah like a completely neutral day. i getcha :)

[**Sapphire**]

Yep I've been there done that at times Patty!

Let's see, today I'm doing ok, then again as I'm typing this it's only 7:41AM, so anything can happen! :)

[Penguin_Woman]

I'm doin ok. Bit of a headache again and some dizziness but ok other than that. Today should be moving day for me. But I guess we'll see. :)

[daisychip]

I'd love to have some neutral days right about now but I guess thats not in my plan for now.............oh well..........

My day is going to be good even if I have to fake it through..........lol. Fake it til ya make it right? ;)

[Pink]

Today is alright. I'm feeling a little tired, but things seem to be looking up. :)

[~Teej~]

I feel weird today..I don't like it :confused:

Glad to see a post from you though Pink...that has cheered me up a lil bit

[Pink]

Thanks, Teej. :) Why ya feeling weird today?

[Littlewoman21]

Today is a sad day for me, but the beginning of the rest of my new life with whomever.

[~Teej~]

I'm doin ok. Bit of a headache again and some dizziness but ok other than that. Today should be moving day for me. But I guess we'll see. :)

Ooooh moving day????

Really...How exciting :D

[Pink]

Today is a sad day for me, but the beginning of the rest of my new life with whomever.

I hope it gets better for you. :hug:

[**Sapphire**]

Today is alright. I'm feeling a little tired, but things seem to be looking up. :)

Good to see you back & posting with us Pink! I was wondering about you & hoping that everything was going well for you by now. :)

[Pink]

Good to see you back & posting with us Pink! I was wondering about you & hoping that everything was going well for you by now. :)

Thanks! :) I feel much better. My sister is doing alright and bf and I have made up. I still have a nasty cold! :(

[**Sapphire**]

Good to hear Pink w/the exception of your cold, glad to hear things are going better.

Well as it's later on from when I typed early in this thread I'm doing ok, just wish the work day would hurry up a bit more.

[Pink]

I wish the day would hurry up as well. I'm feeling a lot better now because bf called and asked if I wanted to get some dinner with him tonight. :)

Sapphire, looks like we're both in Halloween mode!

[~Teej~]

I will be soon..Halloween is my favourite season..The decorations are going up in the shops already

[Pink]

Today I feel pretty good, but I think that's because it's pay day!! :banana:

[**Sapphire**]

Hee hee Pink, it's pay day for you too? :D As fast as it comes in, it goes right back out the door! :(

I'm doing pretty good today, I do hope the day will continue on being good! :)

[Littlewoman21]

[Pink]

As fast as it comes in, it goes right back out the door! :(

Isn't that the truth? :(

Wow, should I say you three (me included)? Let's have a party...it's PAYDAY!

:banana: :whoo: :cheer2:

[~Teej~]

I'm not feeling too bad today...I have the day off work...Have moved some stuff back to my mums and hopefully from tonight will have my internet back again...so you guys will never be rid of me :D

[Clavage666]

Feh! Existential blandness. :p

[daisychip]

I'm tired..........it's beeen a long day and my body aches. Think I'll get out the relieve stress crystals and hit the bath.

[Tuxie]

Physically, I'm ok. A little on the lonely side today.

[Pink]

I'm a bit tired today because I tossed and turned all night, but atleast it's almost Friday.

[~Teej~]

Physically, I'm ok. A little on the lonely side today.

Me to Tuxie :(

[Pink]

Still a little sleepy, but it's almost the weekend so it's getting better.

[Penguin_Woman]

I'm feelin pretty good today ;) @ Tuxie. It's a beautiful day here today. :D

[daisychip]

Today marks the beginning of yet another page in the book. I've decided to start studying the truck driving manual, see if I can pass the test and start getting some experience with my bro so I can do some local running for the company as they need help.

I'm excited to see if I can actually do it. I know I can drive one but doin' the test will be interesting.

[**Sapphire**]

Very cool Daisy, best of luck to you on the test.

Today I am feeling pretty good. It's Friday, my boss is off today & it's a beautiful day outside, what more could a girl ask for. Oh wait...to be at home today would be PERFECT, but...I will take what I can get! :)

[~Teej~]

Me to, but we have the weekend at least :D

[stoner]

Whew! It's been a very busy weekend so far! :cool:

I feel very tired and exhausted, but right now, I'm just chillaxin' at the moment. Listening to some smooth jazz music; with a glass of cabernet sauvignon on one hand, while the other's typing away on the keyboard. :D

It's been a while since my niece and I took a trip to Borders, so last night we did just that. Usually, we would grab a few books and/or magazines, and then take them with us in the cafe section. We would treat ourselves to a slice of dessert, a cup/glass of our beverage, and then let time fly by reading away. But last night, we were treated to something really great. I got to see singer-songwriter Alex Nackman in concert for the very first time last night. Armed with his Martin acoustic guitar and accompanied by his supposedly "drummer" on electric guitar and back-up vocals, he was just so awesome with his playing and singing. His playing style has evidence of various influences ranging from John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Norah Jones and even Paul Simon. He sang a lot of songs about love, lost, and finding one's niche in life. At the end of his show, I got to chat with Alex briefly and he was even kind enough to autograph the two CDs that I purchased that evening. If he ever comes around in your area, do check him out! It's highly recommended.

It's bazaar day in church, so my wife and I checked it out as soon as we woke up and got out of the shower this morning. Her family called as well, and we met them at the church. There were a lot of nice items to buy, and lots of good food to eat. Even our pastor dressed up as a clown to entertain the children and create various figures with them balloons.

As soon as we left church, we hit the road immediately to go apple picking at an orchard located approximately 1.5 hours north of the city. We got ourselves a lot of apples, and other fruits and vegetables. Lately, I'd been such a sucker for fuji apples, so I literally searched the entire orchard for that particular type. When I finally did, I just picked and filled my bag in no time. I felt like a child again! I even got my niece excited, cos she got to climb a tree for the very first time, and made it to the top with my assistance. We had a lot of laughs today ... among them, was when I found myself literally standing on a heap of cow manure, and didn't even know it!! The only way I found out was when I verbalized that something smelled really "funky" and wondered why was everyone laughing at me.

After the apple picking and "clean-up" was over, my family decided that they wanted to go shopping at the factory outlet mall just 20 minutes south from the orchard. So pretty much, that's where the entire family spent the rest of the day. It's a good thing, I managed to sneak back into the car and took a brief nap. By the time we were ready to head home - it was already dark by then - I was wide awake behind the wheel.

And just when we thought the day was over, our neighbor celebrated the christening of their baby, and invited us over to take part in their party. So across the street I went as soon as I got out of the car.

So here I am ... quite exhausted from all the driving, and activities that I went through since waking up at 8 in the morning. Sorry, if this post is quite lengthy. It also turned out to be the post where I also spent a great deal of time typing away, as I'm literally just doing it with only one hand. I think I need another glass... :o

[Penguin_Woman]

Sounds great, Stoner. :)
I'm feeling ok I guess. Just kind of lonely. Missing Tuxie. :) Other than that it's a beautiful morning. :D

[GeeksAreHotter]

Stupid and confused. A little bit mad, too. But mostly stupid.

[**Sapphire**]

Doing pretty good today. It's a beautiful day & my fiance & I are going to BBQ a little later. 1 last BBQ before it starts to get cold here. Then we are going to watch some football, he's a big Indianapolis Colts fan.

What more can a girl ask for, a relaxing day BBQ'ing & watching football? :)

[Tuxie]

Then we are going to watch some football, he's a big Indianapolis Colts fan.

WooHoo!!! Go Colts!!

Feeling pretty good today... overall, had a great weekend. Spending time with my beloved is an excellent way to have a great day. ;)

[**Sapphire**]

Hee hee Tuxie, Penguin told me yesterday your both Colts fans! I told my fiance & he got a little smile on his face, someone he may be able to talk Colts with someday! :D

Had a really nice day today, the BBQ was GREAT & now we are just relaxing watching the rest of the football game.

[~Teej~]

I've had a good day..am back at my mums and relaxing with tea and the forum..all is good

[daisychip]

I love football!! :)

[**Sapphire**]

Today is a GREAT day for me even though it's Monday & back to work!! The NASTY neighbors are MOVING today!! :D I would love to do handsprings right about now! :D

[Penguin_Woman]

Ugh...don't ask. lol I've got a headache and well...it's umm...that time of the month and I'm in pain. :o
Yesterday was awesome though. "watched" football with Tuxie. Colts kicked some butt!

[Pink]

I'm soooooooo tired today. A little sunburned too. :( AND it's Monday. Ugh!

[~Teej~]

I got soaked this morning cycling to work...My trousers are still wet...Someone put the aircon on and I am freezing..If he makes me ill I am blaming him for time off work.

[GeeksAreHotter]

Exited. Very, very exited. Today will be my first proper date with the girl I love. We are going to the movies and then hanging out and grabbing dinner. It's not until 3:00pm because she has to study and it's only 9:00am. GAH! the wait is killing me! :D :D :D

[Pink]

That's awesome! :) So, how'd it go?

[**Sapphire**]

Very cool Geeks, be sure to come back & let us know how it went!

I'm doing ok today, just a bit tired.

[Pink]

I'm very tired and slow today. It's going to rain all day as well which makes it worse.

[~Teej~]

I got soaked this morning cycling to work...My trousers are still wet...Someone put the aircon on and I am freezing..If he makes me ill I am blaming him for time off work.

I woke up with a horrid cough thanks to the stupid boy who put the air con on yesterday

[GeeksAreHotter]

It went brilliantly. I was just...perfect. We sat in the theater holding hands and cuddling and the odd sneeky kiss. After the movie we went and got coffee and found a nice park and sat and talked.

And perhaps one or two other things, but a gentleman does not tell.

But most importantly we both had this amazing moment where we told each other exactly how we feel about one another. And we are both madly in love with each other.

And that is brilliant!

[Pink]

That's awesome, Geeks! :D Glad you had a good time! I miss that feeling.

[GeeksAreHotter]

Thanks Pink.

[~Teej~]

Another boring day at work...I really need a new job :(

[**Sapphire**]

Aww Teej, you can always come & do my job! :)

Glad to hear the everything went well Geeks! :)

Today is another good day for me. Gonna be busy at work, so HOPEFULLY it will help the time go by faster.

[Pink]

Another boring day at work...I really need a new job :(

Same here. :hmpf: I've been on hold for the last 28 minutes so I filed my nails and now I'm using duct tape to get the lint off my slacks. :yup:

[~Teej~]

28 minutes on hold :P

At least we both have the internet to keep us going ;)

[Pink]

28 minutes on hold :P

At least we both have the internet to keep us going ;)

Now 31. :p Yes, thank goodness for the net!

[daisychip]

Bubble gum and butterflies day! :angel:

[stoner]

September came and went, and things have been extremely slow .... :( I'm at the point, where I'd been thinking about looking for another job ... really!

[~Teej~]

Yeah me to Stoner..I am doing overtime in another department to see if I like it before I make the committment to move

[stoner]

I hear ya ... the changes that took place with my employer, technically, is supposed to be working in my favor. But with the current situation as it is, it's seems to be doing more harm than good. :(

[pika]

Hi All,

After a long break from ALTF (due to never ending work and stressful studies), i will try to join in the discussion in ALTF as much as i can.

There are times i feel that being single is very lonely, but there are times i am happy that i am single.....haha so there is a trade off between the 2. With lots of my time occupied with work, studies and family, i selfishly reserved the balance little time i have for myself.

Well, relationship wise.....i prefer to let it come naturally, and along with my daily work as well as studies, i met alot of opposite sexes, and deep within me, i always catious myself not to commit the same mistake twice.

I hope everyone here is happy and i can tell that the traffic have went up alot....thanks to the incredible mods and admins....:p

[~Teej~]

Aww thanks Pika :o

But it's you great members that make ATLF what it is really

[**Sapphire**]

I'm glad to see you back with us Pika. Come on back whenever you can & join us in our chats here.

Thank you for the compliment, but like Teej said it's the great members we have here that keep us going all the time & make ATLF a #1 place to be! :)

[Pink]

Stressed. :(
