oh yuck

I can rememebr hearing repeats of that show at 2AM somewhere outside of Sydney, NE.

I think my brotherly love is wearing you down.

I knew a guy who was really into bodybuilding and competing and if you think shaving your legs is bad, this guy looked like he was wearing a fur coat. I think he resorted to using a 55 gallon drum of neet. That's one of the reasons I never went into competitive bodybuilding, well...that and the dieting and the exercise. Every time I considered exercising, I had to lie down until the thought passed.

Looks like she suffers from hirsutism or it could be a fake. Reminds me of wrestling in gym class, I can think of many things I'd rather do than wrestling a bunch of sweaty, hair guys. Like wrestling a hairy, sweaty women. Well at least she looks better than the guys I wrestled.

Like your cat in that photo?
Hmmm?

I live in Seattle. Therefore I protest

I was listing all the things I need to do this week before I leave. Number 4 is "shave legs."

The cat's in much better shape.

BAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!

So I got my 9 x Midnight Special DVD's today, via Canada Post delivering on a Sunday, which of course they always do around Christmas, but amazing none-the-less.

Midnight special, for those who aren't familiar ran, I believe, between 73 and 80 - bands, singers, comedians.

Few things I noticed, which you generally tend to forget. First thing that stood out were all the cords, which I do still remember, but the guitars, the mics - cords everywhere. One of the microphones even had like electrical tape on it (everything wasn't 'perfect').

Which brings me to the other thing that so glaringly stood out, all these people looked like real people! There was no attitude, they were just people up there - singing. Their teeth weren't perfect, no one in particular had done their hair (Bowie and Stewart excluded haha) and the men weren't wearing makeup (Bowie and Kiss excluded ).

You have to wonder if most of these artists would have even been able to get on a program if they were starting out today.

Oh and Lionel Ritchie had a really noticeable lisp, which he doesn't seem to have anymore. One of the pointer sisters was wearing a short shirt and she wasn't a rail - which made me think of the whole omg Britney Spears gained 5 lbs stupidity.

Anyway, that's my Midnight Special report.

A while back I saw an old film clip (it must have been film, video was not invented yet, on some oldies show) of Diana Ross and the Supreme's singing a cute one (aren't they all). They were wearing white lacey dresses, with a high neckline (turtle neck), long sleeves and past the knee. Their faces shiny and made up a little. Hair slicked into place....neat.
Everything so...proper.

It shocked me after having seen a whatshername video...ooouuu Aguilera, where I felt dirty and needed to take a bath. Bleh!

Things were way different...man do I sound old.
I am...and young too. Ha.
It's good to have it all.


Some balance would be nice...something in between what I described above.

Skinny is NOT sexy.

Sexy comes from how you feel about your self and hence your body.

I'm a geek - I spent the last lost-track-of-time hours playing Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on my new Nintendo DS (a Hanukkah gift from the hubby).

If that's enough to make you go "Whaaaa?" I sat next to Bee while he stormed through Mass Effect on his XBOX 360

We also tried cooking pot roast tonight, but the instructions on the TJ's label were waaaaaaay wrong and we didn't let the roast slow-cook long enough. We should've known that there was something wrong with cooking a pot roast for only an hour.

Oh gosh...Midnight Special...that brings back memories! Would be fun to watch again. It's funny how your whole perception changes in 30 years eh?

Sounds like it would be a fun blast from the past! Enjoy your DVD's!

We got Lost Season 3 this weekend and have been pouring over it all weekend (it stormed here in the North East this weekend).. SO.. we're only about 6 episodes from the Finale of Season 3!!

i be back at work today. time for some yummy coffee




so does my half sister, but she got that outta her system in the 60's

I purchased the Seven Up series from Amazon for hubby for Christmas. It's been driving me crazy having to wait a few more weeks before I'll be able to watch it. It's a documentary based on the saying "Give me the child until he is seven and I will give you the man." It follows the lives of 14 children starting at age 7, then every 7 years after that, up until age 49. I remember seeing it years ago when they had only reached age 21, I believe. It always drove me crazy that the series never came back on TV. Can't wait to finally see what happened!


I'm going to have a swiss mocha. We had a cold front move in during the night and it's only going up to 58 today. Click to view attachment

Sweet lordie lordy, have mercy on me.
I just finished catching up on every Heroes episode (within 3 weeks or so, with marathon nights of, "Oh just one more episode!"), and the same wonder-full friend who hooked me to that told me about Lost and highly recommended it to me.

I am in trouuuuuublllllllle.



Please do not mention endings Emancipation!

SpiritAlight, I just noticed that your siggy says you have a custom designed ring.... WE WANT PICS!!!

It also says that your interview is this Friday! Whooo hoooo. Are you getting flutterbyes?

I'm dyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnng...........
Thanks for asking.

Pics huh?
I do not want to publish it and have some jeweler mass-manufacture the design.
Although I mustn't worry about such things; my taste is so eclectic, usually what I like is not popular.
Hee, hee.

I feel physically sick. I've just been told that my friend's son passed away yesterday.

what happened?

omg hon, I'm so sorry!
My sympathies to you, your friend and their family.

Oh sweetie, so sorry to hear this news.

Aww I'm sorry krikit. Hang in there.

No worries.. i dont do that kinda thing.. Season 3 does rock though.. i MUST say!! I can't stand all the starting and stopping of Lost and the "recaps" etc.. so we just wait till the full season comes out to watch the silly show... it will be a long time until Season 4 comes out I"m afraid!!

an addicting game!! My record is 96.61 meters!!

good lord, I just tried it and got 4.7, guess it's one of those things you have to practice

Oooooouuu, I'm gonna hurt you so badly Flames!
Don't you know what that does to someone with OCD?!

Krikit, you have my deepest sympathy and condolences. I don't mean to pry but was it a sudden illness?

Spirit, you getting nervous? HA!

All you need to do is get Hiro to help you travel through time to December 22 so you can see yourself celebrating a successful interview.

I love Hiro...yes I could sure use him about now...for both of us.

I have even managed to surprise my honey, too...of course I get nervous, frightened, whatever, before every new encounter.
It never stops me however.

What about you IR5 - 48 hrs and counting wooo hoooo!

I just pray to the Gods that IR5 does NOT behave, well, like himself at the interview you know???
I mean, crack some of his jokes with the CO.... hmmm
Naaa.... in all seriousness, I am rooting for his parents (since they already have the burden of having such a ..... 'dude' as a child). They'll be fine, now that I am also a daughter and all

They may well put him up for adoption now that they have you.

uh oh... you know how there are two recipe threads now..

does this mean we're going to have food wars???

Shhhh... trailmix, don't say that before he goes to the interview....

COME ON!!! Stop the OT stuff and gimme some lovin' advise:
http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=101019

Yes the food fight is on!! But I posted a recipe in Mumsie's thread. Guess i'm not cut out for fighting.

I'm comfortably numb thank you. (*grabs the armrest of his chair in motral terror*)

So let me get this straight. You are the USC and your mom and dad live in Canada and you are sponsoring them and they are going to come and live with you?

Don't worry sis, I'll behave myself (as opposed to??? ). Actually when I try to behave myself I sound like an pompous, arrogant azz. For the record, I'm not pompous. The SUV is in the shop so it looks we'll go to Montreal in a Yaris. GOD HELP US!!!


No seriously, Mom's been looking to trade me in for another model.

Thanks for the kind words Charles, Laura, SpiritAlight, Trailmix, and Mumsie. Your posts helped a lot. I've spoken with my friends and had my little cry. Kevin was only 14 years old. I've looked into changing my flight but everything's on hold until after the autopsy. Life goes on.

Was he in an accident??

Feel free to not reply to such questions...

My brother is the USC and he's concerned about my parents living in the Canuck permafrost (he's setting up his practice in AZ). Actually my parents are pretty ambivalent about the whole thing (just leave us alone ) but it's seems like a good excuse to go to Montreal. In a Yaris.

Good luck IR5ForMumsie&Dad!!

I am really trying to get the warm trend to come sooner...see the weather pattern coming this week?

I second that. I don't think words can begin to convey our sorry for such a loss and at such a young age. The saddest thing is for a parent to bury a child, I know it's no consolation but at least he's gone to a better place. (for each year)

I had to look and see what a Yaris is, oh my

Your parents sound like nice people, I can see you dragging them to the consulate, they are saying, well the boys think it's a GOOD idea.

My Mom would just say - no. I'm not going.

Thanks and best of luck to you too for Friday. Just watch out for Mr. Syler. I've been watching the snow and trying to assuage my fears by looking at the highway cams and seeing what the road conditions are like. I'm guessing that downtown Montreal will be clear by the time we get there. I'd feel so much better if we were in the Tahoe or the Durango but a Yaris is going to be our chariot.

I had to look up Yaris too. Yes, good luck on the interview, Mumsie. Does this mean that your entire family is abandoning you and leaving you in the wilds of Canada?
