Here's some morning coffee that will appeal to all. Whether it be with cream...coffeemate...something frothy...even decaf! Enjoy!



Sounds like you've been very busy trailmix, and packing is coming along. Don't rule out extended stay hotels in FL. There are lots of places that have suites, for a weekly rate, that sounds like it would be far less than rent at some type of apartment! They usually have kitchens and some type of sitting rooms outside of the bedroom, so you're not all cramped into just the bedroom. Something to look into!

Are you not going to stop into St. Louis on your trip? Whether it be a night here, or just when you're passing through, you should stop here so we can meet!

Lovely fairy liz! I'm sure Ron and Sharon will love it!

g'morning everyone and bless you carla for the coffee

It's okay. I know.


What the heck? The next time I'm out and about and see one of those "incentive" signs I'll take down the number and send it to you.

Good morning Charles and Carla. I am having french press coffee this morning. Even though I hate dismantling and cleaning the thing, I couldn't resist. Oh, and toasted malt bread from Canada. The last of my supply. I see a grocery run to Canada in my future.

Morning kids

Badger badger badger badger.... Always gotta laugh when I see that avatar.

What's shakin', Meph?

bleh, stressed with my alternating night/day schedule, stressed with getting my friggin Veterinary tech license (deadline to apply is in 3 weeks), getting allergies (still sneezing, itchy nose after 2 weeks on ATB), stressed with doing taxes the right way....

What else ? Ah yeah I'm going to see my family in Montreal in May First time back home since April 2007...about time But stressed because my passport is still in my maiden name and I will be going alone and stressed ( for no apparent reason) they won't let me back...

Did I mention I am stressed ?

Good thing I have a sweet loving husband making me delectable dinners and buying me flowers....he is such a sweety

Yay for going home!!! I Montreal. My passport is still in my former name too, but it doesn't cause a problem. (Unless, of course, you're flying and it doesn't match your tickets. ) Besides..... the CBP agents don't want to see your passport.... they only look at your greencard.


Wow. That's awesome. Mine just floods the house and forgets our anniversary. But he means well.

Those bunnies crikey!

I am barely awake, that is when I write my best work (<<<< not true).

So far we have booked a hotel in Gt. Falls, that's pretty good isn't it!?!? Carla, thanks for the coffee invitation, I said to my Husband yesterday that there is this really nice woman on VJ who lives with her Husband in St. Louis We may well go through there, I will let you know for sure. We are trying to avoid main cities, oh and I checked, Tifton GA is a real place with real hotels!

If you get any numbers crickey! I shall call

Awww thanks, that makes me feel better you are taking 10% of my stress off today


Ya know there are many ways to express love... *cough cough

There. Fixed that for ya.

Ya know..... I kept wondering why Tifton, GA rang a bell. And then it hit me. (Ouch) We drive through it to get to Atlanta. I've stayed in Valdosta, which is just a little further south of there. My husband's niece went to uni there so we had to wanted to attend her graduation. It has stores.

Woot woot! Stores! I like stores. Shopping was my hobby, I'm not a big purchaser in general, I only buy things I need, however I used to browse a lot. Lately the lustre of shopping has gone, probably because it's just the same old same old - but now there will be new stores to discover I might take it up again and forget this blanket i'm crocheting (<<<< again, not true >

Those bunnies really made me laugh, I even just uploaded the picture to my webpage.

Oh, a crocheted blanket! I hope it's the one with the zigzags. That's my favourite. (<<<<---- lies)

If you like stores, you're gonna LOVE Sanford. It has GREAT stores. And so does the Mall at Millennia. Oh, I can show you stores.

Website? What website? I went to your profile but I don't see one listed. Is it a secret website?

Click to view attachment

Oh my webpage is nothing fancy, it's just the one I use for my homepage, I just throw links up there that I use regularly and the occasional funny picture

I'm not a fancy gal. (send links)

Yeah.... and I don't think I look like Salma Hayek....

Crikey, that is an awesome bunny ad. Great thing to look at first thing when you wake up

In other news, AP got approved yesterday! We're looking forward to going back home in August now

Are you tellin' us you're just rollin outta bed there, Nini?

Yay for AP approvals!!!

Hehe, yeah. I've been having some horrible insomnia for the past couple of months - it's been okay the past few weeks, but last night I had a very difficult time getting to bed

Ugh. I can relate. And I'm pretty sure I can find a few late-night posts on here to prove it. Too bad, though. I thought you might have had a more enjoyable reason for getting up so late.

I feel you there

With all the stress of adjusting to my new life and the mix of day and night shifts, I had to surrender myself to take an Advil PM twice since last week in order to get some sleep back before I get physically ill.....

Doesnt help when I work 4-12pm one night and then 10am-7pm the next day, and first day off that comes I start stressing out cause I need to make phone calls for info and stuff.....argh

And all of that made me procrastinate too much, so here I am, 3 weeks before a deadline for the June exam to get my license, waiting for 2 people to send me back e-mails, call me back, cause I still don't know if I am eligible and I will need an English translation from my stupid transcript cause I just called my college and they can't do it...

All can be done very fast, but for more $$$

Good thing is I could always wait 6 more months and take the next one....in January 2009.....but that seems horribly far and I need that License to have a better job or better salary...

Oh wait, this wasn't the Vent topic ?

No, you're much prettier. *realizes he suddenly sounds like Dad and should cut back on his medications tout de suite*


And some of them won't get you arrested.

Have you been drinking pseudoephedrine again Mumsie????? You know it's bad for you thanks for the compliment though, I'll take it. My 'other brother' used to say I looked like Frida Kahlo . Ideologically complimentary, aesthetically creepy.

No, but can I borrow ten bucks. I'm in a relatively good mood today, Pop's passport has reached MTL and it's not snowing, only raining. Mumsie is effusive in praise when he's not growling at something or someone (which is most of the time). I'm not a judgemental b*stard but I'm not a big fan of women with unibrows like Frida Kahlo. Your other brother was mistaken, shame on him. You look nothing like Frida, not at all; you look more like Diego Rivera.

Hmm. I just received a call from something called "Audience Participation". (I think that's what they said.) They want me to view a DVD for a proposed show on March 25th and they will call me back on March 26th to see what I think of it. Has anyone else ever heard of this?

Does it pay ?



I've been to one of those surveys before, making me taste 3 different kinds of Mentos, asked me which wrapper I like the most and got 50$ for 15 min.

Not sending a DVD but I did get mail a couple of months ago for an audience participation thing - had to go somewhere (forget where) for a few hours and view some new shows and give my opinion.

I didn't do it, but sounds like the same type of thing.

You smart azz me thinkssss YOU look like "El Sapo" (babyname for comrade Rivera) You should know that I admire Frida like few women. She was not only talented, but politically active and in pantsuits in a time where neither were ok'ed by my beautiful countryfellas. She was and is my inspiration in many things I do. But yes, she was buttttt ugly.

Here, have 20 bucks.

No kidding? I'm getting ripped off then. It's a half hour show and they'll enter me into a draw to win $100 or something that's worth $100.... or something to that effect. Can you tell I'm not a good listener?

OK, so lately I'm all about reading blogs and all, I found this link which is quite cool, so I thought I'd share:

http://www.dumblittleman.com/2008/03/30-us...ably-didnt.html

Enjoy, L.

Oh. Well that looks like it will certainly come in handy. Thank you.

Len, that site is cool

I love mentos.

Nice find!! thanks

The toad thanks you.

I've had the same experience myself. I participated in one of these surveys, got a nice invitation in the mail and everything. I didn't get paid, no cookies, no drinks, nothing. I tell you, that's the last time I take part in a survey for a company called Elections Canada.

Good morning! I thought this coffee might bring some sunshine your way today! We could use it here. It's been raining for over 24 hours straight and rivers are flooding. What a mess! Off to another day of my volunteer training!

g'morning everyone. i taught i taw a mephys, i did i did!

Ew. That coffee looks scary, Carla. Reminds me of a hallucination I once had during a high fever.

Oh, flooding. Gee. In rivers, you say? How novel. I prefer my floods to be confined to the home.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was slightly perturbed by that coffee. Looks like something I'd hallucinate during a large bender, but then again my imagination has always been extremely creative

This morning (after a very long time tossing and turning in bed trying to get to sleep) the cat decided to take over my pillow for her own use. I had to remind her that it doesn't work out when I'm still there, but she ended up winning anyway.

In case-related news, my case has been transferred to Philly! I'd hoped to skip the interview, but small favours

*trundles off for some non-smileyface coffee*

Good to have you back, Nini.

Well, I can't take the lag-time problems that the site is experiencing anymore, so I'm off to do something more productive. I'll check back in later if the site hasn't crashed and burned by then.

Ciao!

Well, I am sitting here drinking non-smiley face coffee

We didn't get too much accomplished with packing yesterday, sorted photos and coins, but it all counts!! Today we tackle another room.

I agree Crickey, it was a tad slowww getting in here today, did see this message from Ewok just now, at the top of the forum:

Eeek! Sorry for the major slow down this morning!

I made a change that I thought would speed the server up and of course it did the opposite!! Anyhow I am reverting that right now and I hope things are speedy again! Sorry for the slow site this morning everyone!

How did I miss this? I have not heard of that company, but I must say I make a decent amount by doing surveys and cr@pola like that. Ok, not that much, but enough worth the trip to the bank to deposit the checks

Oh cool. I wonder if I'll go onto some sort of survey-doer list and start making my fortune too!!

WHOA! Despite Ewok bringing down the site, I have so far managed to become today's top poster! Yay for me!

Can't

seem

to

shake

those

exclamation marks!

D'oh!

Sister!!! Exclamation marks are the reason for my existence in this forum!!! I love you!!!!! you're fabulous!!!!

!!!!!!!

Exclamation marks are the BEST!!!

No kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On other news, Len the magnificent has a job interview next week, for a better position in my area. As for the barista gig, the owner is as organized as me, so no news on opening day or the like. B1tch - there go 3 weeks of my life I'm not getting back. I wanted to say Fkuc Her!!!!! but my mother in law convinced me to just drop her an email asking WTF is going on (without saying WTF, which was kinda lame) which I did. I seriously do not think I want to work for her at all. She's a mess. wisdom, anyone????

Oh, I almost forgot: !!!!

!

Yellow doesn't count !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
