Over the last two years one of the Dayton radio stations has aired a "retro" American Top 40 with Casey Kasem on Saturday morning. (For all those fortunate to live in the Miami Valley, it's WMMX "Mix" 107.7 between the hours of 7:00 and 10:00 a. m. Unfortunately they cannot fit all forty into the show, but I digress.) The spotlighted years over that time period have ranged from 1982 to 1988. Today I got a wonderful surprise--the featured year was 1981! That is one of my favorite years for music! :happyface :cool: :woohoo:

[swedeace]

We now have higher speed internet instead of dial-up.
Congrats! Woohoo!!! High speed rocks! :rock: It's been a little over a year since I've had cable high speed, and I cannot imagine myself ever going back. It's sooooo nice! You'll quickly get adjusted to it and things will never be the same.

[swedeace]

Thanks. I'm already having problems though with connecting through the high speed. :( I've had to go back (at least for now) to dial up. I've only had it one day and already there are problems with it for some reason.
Aw, that sucks. Hopefully, the problems will be temporarily. What kinds of problems are you experiencing?

Thanks to the medication my doctor gave me and some rest, my stomach has been feeling much better. :D

after 3 years of dreading going to school every day and rather being thrown off a cliff then having to face everyone there, school is FINALLY looking better. high school is a lot better then middle school, too and *gasp* im actually making FRIENDS.

High school is WAY better than middle school. In 2008 it will have been 20 years since I started middle school and there are experiences from those two awful years that I still have not recovered from. I'm glad to hear that everything is going well for you. :)

hmm...2012 for me. My little first graders will start junior high around then too. K, that's scary.

My JH experience wasn't too bad. I got very lucky.

[Janice]

My grocery store ran a special on Del Monte canned vegetables. Normally, they're 89 cents a can. They went on sale for 50 cents. If you buy 15 cans, they take $5 off at the register. I also had two coupons ($1 each).

Bottom line...I got 15 cans for 50 cents.

I was pretty lucky in regards to high school, but junior high was terrible for me. When I drive pass my old junior high school, "House Of Pain" by Van Halen plays in my head.

[Shine]

The fact that I started middle school 15 years ago makes me feel old. :lol: What's scarier is that I started preschool 25 years ago (1981). A quarter of a century. :eek: I have to be in the minority because I liked middle school. For reasons I'd rather not go into. The only reason I liked high school was because of my bestfriend who was a teacher there. I didn't really enjoy elementary much.


Overall I liked both elementary and high school, but junior high was...well a "House Of Pain".

[Shine]

I don't know anyone else who gets as excited as she does to go somewhere with me. :lookaroun:


She gets excited because you're her big sister. :)

[Shine]

You and me both. I loathed Junior High; first, I was one of the ugliest girls in school (because I was under developed, etc) just a plain nerd and terribly shy. I remember this jerk making fun of me because I was flat chested, well God, must had felt sorry for me, because I am now a full C cup and (even at 36) I still turn heads...but Jr. High was pure hell, it was so bad, that I barely can remember that time period in my life. I have blocked a lot of the experiences out.


Yeah, I try to think as little about those two years as I possibly can. I think that is an awkward period is most kids' lives. As far as that jerk who made fun of you, he is probably fat and bald now. :lol:

Woohoo!!! My college is holding open auditions for our Theatre Department's Autumn Show on the 7th of October (next Saturday), so I would like to audition!!! Oh, this is going to be sooooo much fun. I have been waiting for this since the beginning of the year when I decided to try out some theatrical work.

Wish me luck, everyone! I hope to get cast a part. If I do get a part, there will be a local college-only showing on the days of November 17-19th. This will help me overcome some shyness and will be a lot of fun to portray some comedic acting I've been wanting to give a go!! Yay!! :wave:

Wow, it's been a long time since I got on here! Well, I moved into my new house about a month ago. We still have some unpacking to do though. I like how I have a lot of room to run around out here with my little cousins. And, this may sound crazy, but I like the fact that I get to cut grass out here! :lol: I really like my school, there's only about 500 kids and they're pretty nice. A bunch of my friends are on the football team, and we won our game last night! :D The one thing I don't like about the move is the quietness. All my life I lived up the street from I-70 and some train tracks, so it was always noisey. Now I'm on seven acres of land and all you can hear is the wind! But, today there is a race going on at the Kansas Speedway and my house isn't too far away so I can hear the rumble of the cars from here. It makes me feel like I'm back in my old neighborhood! :lol:

[swedeace]

*swoons with a smile on her face*

I got to chat a bit of a longer time this time with my crush. Oooooo....it was ever so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet just chit-chatting with him and how he was asking me questions. Awwww.... I was sooooo tempted to invite him to walk around the track, but he still doesn't know me enough. It would probably make him feel a bit awkward at the moment. Damn....

Well, I hope that breaking the ice by chatting with him is going to get him to be more prone to hang out with me in person. Ooooo... Me want!!! :biglove:

[Courtnee]

School for Scoundrels was AMAZING


He was in a speedo....A SPEEDO. Do you know how orgasmic that was?????///

This flying pizza burger from Big Boys is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. I'm glad I asked for two burgers, instead of one, and saved the 2nd one for later. It's actually great stuff when it's leftover. :drool:

Oh yeah! One more thing, I feel the BEST I have felt all week (stupid mono). I think the last time I felt this awesome was before my b-day 1 1/2 months ago.

Thanks, but I don't want to jump the gun quite yet. It was just chatting. I've been down that road just being overly happy for just and things never worked out. I really hope this will finally work out because it's getting quite frustrating putting my "all" into something I really, really want and never succeeding into a crush. I can't afford to just sit around and wait. I try, try, and try, but I don't get it. Anyway...this is the positive department, so I will just have to hope he'll enjoy chatting with me the times I catch him to chat so he will be more inclined to want to meet me. *crosses fingers*

Haha yeah you probably would have! I seen all the traffic coming from the Speedway, I can't even imagine how bad it was! It must have been crazy up there, I saw on the news that when the race was over, someone tried to rob the Speedway and shot a police officer. I'm glad you weren't around that though!

Well, 45 days from now I'll be in Florida! My mom and I are taking a week-long trip down there over Thanksgiving break to see my uncle, aunt and little cousin who we haven't seen in over a year. I'm so excited! :D

I was sitting at work thinking today (because frankly folks, I know how to do math and reading....I don't care to pay attention to anything in the first grade room), and I realized how far I've come in, oh, 10 years. Maybe less. I had some friends in HS who volunteered in the special ed room and would hang out with the special ed kids in school and sometimes out. That was never me. Those kids scared me or something. Small children also scared me because I didn't know how to talk to them, I didn't understand them, discipline was not my thing, etc. Ironically now, I not only work with small children, but I work with special ed kids. And it doesn't scare me. Frustrates me, yes, but it doesn't scare me. They can be sweet kids. And kids seem to like me...even though I may not still relate to them all that well.

I don't know if it's the drug or maturity. But I guess I'm kind of proud of myself.

[Hollow]

ahh, i made peace with some girls i was fighting with over my boyfriend, lol. yeah, **** high school drama. i know the main girl i was fighting with was really scared of me because i was innocent in the whole situation and she was guilty and whenever i argued with her i always had a good feeling of confidence and determination and there was no way i couldn't pwn her lzozl but still, even for me, it puts off a lot of stress.

MY 18th birthday is in less than 2 days! I made it! :lol:

[Ireneparalegal]

I am counting down the days for your birthday Kelly!!!!!! WHOO HOO!!!!!

Tara you got Betty's book with an autograph????????? THAT IS AWESOME!!!! You are so damn lucky!!! Keep that book in a safe place!!! That's a gem.

[dawsongirl]

:lol: That's cool. I remember when I turned 18. I can't believe that was ten years ago. :eek: My sister will turn 14 on October 20th and I will turn 28 on October 20th. So what are you going to do for your birthday on Thursday? Just curious. :)
You and your sister have the same birthday??

[dawsongirl]

We sure do. :) My sister is exactly 14 years younger than I am. To make it even stranger she was born on her due date. I was a month early. My sister likes to tell people that we are twins because we share the same birthday despite the fact that we were born 14 years apart. :lol: What would have been really strange is if she would have been born at the same time. She was born in the afternoon on 10/20/1992 and I was born in the morning 10/20/1978.
Wow.....I wonder how rare that is. Kind of cool though. :)


Speaking of birthdays....I really don't want to turn 27. I don't know why....just don't want to.

[dawsongirl]

I'm feeling pretty good with how my sister is doing academically. I'm seeing progress in her in regards to what she is learning. At the beginning of this school year she didn't know her phone number, address, date of birth, or middle name. Now she knows her phone number, address, date of birth, and middle name. She still makes some mistakes with the iinformation, but she's really done well with learning that inmportant information. I've been working with her everyday after school. I'm also working with her to get her familiar with the computer such as typing. She has difficulty writing so having typing skills will help her. Hopefully in a few years she will be able to type up certain school things, like homework. She doesn't really know how to spell or read, but perhaps with more practice on the computer it will help with her reading and writing skills. She's at a Pre-K to K level for reading and writing. I'm hoping that by the end of the school year she will be able to spell the street address we live on. I've also been working to help her with her math skills. She currently can add (with difficulty) single digits. It hasn't been easy because she gets frustrated easily and has a very short attention span. It's nice though to see where she is now from where she was last school year. She even took the initative to call me today to let me know that her school bus was running late so that I wouldn't worry. Because she knows her phone number now she was able to get permission from someone in the special education office to call me. It takes her awhile to dial the phone number, but she did it. :) I told her how great she did by calling me. I hope this post doesn't sound like I'm bragging, because I'm not meaning to. I'm just glad that I've been able to help my sister in some way. :)
You have all the right to brag. :) I work with a first grade special ed student, and he can be very frustrating, so I know what you've been through. But it is really great when they show they've learned something.

[dawsongirl]

That's understandable. I didn't want to turn 27 last year and I'm not sure I want to turn 28 this year. :lol: I was talking to a friend of mine on the phone yesterday and she told me that in two years when I turn 30 I can just say that I'm 29 and holding. :lol: I do think it's kind of cool that I share a birthday with my sister. One of the reasons my sister thinks it's cool is because it means two birthday cakes instead of one. :lol:
:lol: I probably won't even get one cake. But that's alright.

[Jo_Luvs_Ketchup]

My first blend :mrtarver:
That's pretty good! To get smoother selections of hair, I would recommend using the Extract command. It lets you select hair, grass, and other fine objects much closer. What version of PhotoShop are you using? I believe in both CS and CS2, you can find it in the "Filter" menu.

Woohoo!!!! I finally made it to our annual International Balloon Fiesta!! My mom, my sister, an aunt (mom's sister), and I attended the event very early this morning. It was 6:30 a.m., and it was free to enter/park! No charge! I can't believe it has taken me many, many years to finally attend this world-wide event happening right here in my own city. Ever year I always feel lazy and think, "Oh, next year." Then I thought about "what happens if there will be NO next year?" That was enough motivation for me.

Anyway, we had such a great time. We spent ALL morning long there, and my sister and I took a lot of pictures. :D

[swedeace]

Mona, that's cool that you had a nice time. Want to post any pictures?
Sure. I'll post a couple of them in this thread. I just need to take them out of my digital camera's memory card. I should do that sometime this week.

I gave the job I didn't want to another girl, because she wanted to do that more than her job, and I'd rather do her job. YAY

Shockingly enough, I picked special ed kids over normal kids who have trouble reading. Never would have done that years ago.

I actually called someone close to me and talked when I was having another "i feel like **** and want to cry and be emo" episode instead of crying or doing what I usally do.

That's good. I wish I could do that. Instead, my friends are usually working or are my co-worker friends. Even if we work at the same place, it leaves little privacy to sit and talk-talk while we're on the job.

Yeah, now I'm mad at that teacher. Nothing ever seems to go right for me....

I know, wrong thread.

[Courtnee]

Newsletter came out today. It ROCKS YOUR BALLS!

[swedeace]

Woohoo!! I found some of my Ace of Base collection (CDs, promos, and audio cassettes) that were stored in my storage shed for the past three years!!! It felt like I encountered some treasures.

My apartment complex also shampooed my carpet today, so my carpet is fresh and clean.

[swedeace]

Damn...wrong thread...

[swedeace]

LOL!!! The seemingly-crush-stealing girl I talked about on Monday about has sent me a request to be added. Well, I went ahead and added her. Her profile is set to private, so I was dying of curiosity to look around her page and poking in on her comments to see if I find more proof. :lol: Besides, I'll find out soon enough what the deal is.

I actually don't know whether this would fit best here or in the other department, but I am placing it here because maybe I am just jumping into conclusions. I could always get to know people to make friends. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

I set out to the used bookstore in search of A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess, but didn't find a copy there... So I just browsed around the store for a while. I ended up finding a copy of Random Family (http://www.amazon.com/Random-Family-Drugs-Trouble-Coming/dp/0684863871/sr=8-2/qid=1161235423/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-2707258-8895161?ie=UTF8&s=books), by Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, and bringing it home with me. I have such a fascination with New Yorkers, their growing up in the city, and the history of New York City in general. The one part of New York I haven't really had a chance to read up on is the Bronx. I'm pretty well-versed in my knowledge of Manhattan and Brooklyn and okay in my knowledge of Queens and Staten Island. For some reason, I just never happened across any books that focused specifically on the Bronx, or the people that grew up in the Bronx. Soooo... I am excited to start this book! :)


Oh yeah, and regarding my search for A Clockwork Orange, I am just going to buy a 1970s UK reprint on eBay... That decade was the one with the super-cool book cover (http://cgi.ebay.com/ANTHONY-BURGESS-A-CLOCKWORK-ORANGE-PENGUIN-1977_W0QQitemZ250039315668QQihZ015QQcategoryZ29224QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) that was apparently not sold in the US back then, for some reason.

OMG!!! I can't believe it!!!!

I am chatting with a new friend I have met, and he is working at the photo studio lab together with my crush (his co-worker friend). My crush was sending some greetings. Awwww...... *swoons* They are working late tonight.

Well, my friend and I are having such a lengthy and private convo. Then I slightly mentioned about my crush, and I finally revealed to him it is his co-worker. He and I are talking about it while my crush is in another room. Awww....I am trembling with fear, but at least I poured out my feelings. Maybe.....just maybe...he can help somehow....

*still waiting...this is gonna be a lonnnnnng chat session, I can tell...*

I just picked up my copy of the third season of The Facts Of Life. :D

[Shine]

I was driving over to Tower records this afternoon and I turned on one of our local rock radio stations and they were playing "There's Only One Way To Rock" by Sammy Hagar. :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :guitar: I turned the volume waaaaay up. It was like being 16 again. It felt great. One of those truly perfect moments. And I relalized that it is those perfect little moments like that one that make life such a wonderful thing.

:wave: I'm waiting for the fist disc of seasons 1 & 2 of FOL to arrive. It was supposed to come today, but it didn't. Maybe it will come tomorrow.

I really hope you enjoy both seasons.:) I'm still going to send you an email to list the episodes that are my favorites. The very first epiosde, "Rough Housing", is one of my top five favorite episodes from the entire series. Mr. Drummund, Arnold, Willis and Kimberly from Diff'rent Strokes visit Mrs. Garrett in the epiosde and the girls dress Arnold up like Elmer Fudd. :lol:

I was invited to a family friend's 21st birthday party this evening. It was great! I took some great pics.

And....I have Halloween plans tomorrow!! My uncle Martín and aunt Leti are throwing a costume party! Woohoo!!! :woohoo: I have plans! I have plans! :D

[Courtnee]

ok. So I go to the bx with my grumpy dad and my stupid brother to get a costume. I see this lady with like 7 costumes in her cart and I'm getting pissed. I look through the rack and dammit. the costume i hid a few days ago wasnt there.

So I sulk by the books.


Then I get the urge to look one last time, and sure enough, in a little corner, there was my flapper girl costume. Just waiting to be bought.

So I said "EEEE!!" really loud, and this Korean lady looks at me weird.

I grabbed some hosery and a danish and headed to the register.

The woman rang me up and she said, "$6.45".


I said, "Excuse me?"

"$6.45. All Halloween items are on sale today."

I said, "EEEEE!" again and the same Korean lady looked at me weird again. I could feel her scorn.

So I got:
A costume
Hose
and a danish


for $6.45.



How amay-za-zing.

Haha, how cool!!! Hey, I was also thinking about dressing up as a Flapper girl as well. A friend of mine has a costume in storage that she was going to dig out for me, but it's too late now. Maybe next year. Have fun being a Flapper girl! :D

I'm going as a purple and black court jester for my aunt and uncle's Halloween party tonight. And, I'm dressing up as Raggedy Ann on actual Halloween at work. :wave:

Aw, that sounds very serene. Have fun!

I hear they are having a pumpkin-throwing contest pumpkin patch (http://www.mccallpumpkinpatch.com/) at a nearby small city just east of my city. I would like to find out more info and maybe check that out. Sounds cool.

[swedeace]

I can't believe I actually have good back up from the guy I crushed on's childish behavior from his sister-in-law. Apparently, he's been acting weird lately and not treating his own family well, so she is telling me that was not really nice what they both did to me. She can see why his wife did what she did (by leaving him).

The girl who he got to send that message to me I actually thought about getting back at them. She wrote someone saying she's got a boyfriend, so what if I found out who he was and forwarded that message that was sent to me to him just to get her into trouble? :devil:

It's good that I am not going to waste my time on him. The sister-in-law is actually backing me up and supporting me. This feels very relieving. I am being supported. :)

[swedeace]

If you go have fun. :)
Thanks. :) I kinda wanted to go, but it would've been last-minute. They're running the pumpkin patch until Halloween at 5:00 p.m., but it wouldn't give me enough time to get there and back before that time since I work today and tomorrow. Darnit. Well, maybe next year then.

This time last year...

I was meeting three of the four members of Ace of Base backstage at Night of the Proms in Antwerp, Belgium at the Sportspaleis! It was 6:00 p.m. Central European Time which is now 10:00 a.m. Mountain Time for me right now. OMG!!! I can't believe it has already come down to one year later, 365 days later. Taking pictures of them, talking to them, getting autographs taken, etc.... AHHHH!!! Awww, happy memories. :D :biglove: :woohoo:

[swedeace]

I did it!

I did something I thought I would NOT do.... I have removed my ex-crush from my list. Even my friend applauded me but telling me, "You go, girl!" I feel good now. :D

[PZelda]

I feel faint. But a good faint.

I'm goin' to have a brother-in-law soon. Why? My sis is getting married. And she asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. It's not going to be some $100,000 wedding or a big production or whatever, so no matching bridesmaid dresses (thank god because I hate dresses, especially bridesmaid dresses). It's in two and a half weeks.

Gah...I need to lay down.

[swedeace]

That's great that you're feeling better. :)
Thanks. What feels good is just weeding out the rotten apples, so to speak. It feels much clearer and better now that I've done it.

Oh, and congrats on your success of changing a lightbulb! Hey, any little thing is always a good feeling! :D

Yay!! I'm so excited!! I received a text message from a friend about 1.5 hours ago that I am invited to her girls-night-out Poker on December 7th!! Aw, I've never been invited to a poker game like this. I don't know how to play poker, but it sounds like a lot of fun! :D

My brother will be graduating from college and will be receiving a promotion in rank in December. He's in the Navy. :) My mother, sister and I will be there to see it. :D



That's great news, Jenny. :) Is he being promoted to ensign?

I had to look up what ensign meant in the dictionary ("lowest commissioned Naval officer.") I'm not sure what his exact rank will be. All I know is that he will become a commissioned officer. I don't really know or understand all the different ranks in the military including the Navy.


The commissioned ranks in the Navy are:

* ensign
* lieutenant junior grade
* lieutenant
* lieutenant commander
* commander
* captain
* commodore
* admirial

I don't wanna jinx anything quite yet, but I think tomorrow I am finally going to get together with a friend and have dessert at a popular local coffee house/restaurant. I feel I shouldn't show my happiness quite yet. I wouldn't wanna jinx anything. I think I will wait until after tomorrow before showing my joy....or complaint. Whichever will come first.

Finally...news about meeting up with a certain friend that makes it onto this thread. We met up this evening and had a nice dinner and a great time conversing for over an hour. It was really nice. :woohoo:

I stood up for myself, and said what I had to say for the first time in a WHILE and it felt damn good. :)

WOW..Last night, a couple buddies and I went out dancing; and there I danced with this man, and I have never felt such a strong connection (chemistry wise) with anyone...in a LONG TIME!!!; we ended up kissing (I know, I am bad) and he was an amazing kisser (wow, wow wow). I have not kissed someone, whom, literally knocked my socks off, also in a very ,very long time..(my head was spinning and I was dead sober):lol:
Isn't it a great feeling? :D

Sigh... I wouldn't mind getting a kiss again. The guy I'm seeing, I haven't seen him in over a month and HOLY CRAP his kisses... They blow my mind. Especially the goodbye kisses. I can really feel the passion in these goodbye kisses. :faint:
