Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Greetings Asslings* Been busy busy busy. Contract got extended again, and they have (verbal) permission to keep me until the HUGE system update (which will make me mostly redundant, but I want to actually manage one of the deals. that would be cool, but they'd need a lot more deals for that to happen) No clue exactly how long that will be though Shed a few tears last night. My baby is no more. Alex has grown over 2"(5cm) in less than 6 months, he now weighs over 100 pounds (45kg) (I was 17 before I weighed that much, even though I was taller than he is now). And last night we took him to high school to sign up for classes for next year How did he get so big? How did he get so old? I am going to seriously miss have a little one around (I really need to stop treating him like he is a little one, and that is so hard!) Hope everyone is doing well *Asslings is my new favorite term of endearment. All of my board friends are now Asslings (it is from "The Last Kingdom" (in the books it is "erseling" but I like the sound of Assling (show) better)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 On 10-2-2016 at 2:06 PM, Eyron said: Hey FoMN! I'm so glad to hear you told your friends. Congrats! Thanks Though technically only one knows at this point. But I imagine the other will hear it soon. 18 hours ago, felice said: Yes, it's well worth watching - but bear in mind that they don't have a plan, and a lot of people find the end a bit disappointing. This is a useful heads-up, yeah. 17 hours ago, ab aeterno said: At it's worst, it's definitely fairly disappointing (mostly the ending,) but at it's best it's absolutely brilliant. IMO Edward James Olmos' performance is the best I've ever seen on TV. The ending is imperfect but it wasn't disappointing to me. For me, looking back, the weakest part was some plotlines Spoiler Those being the some of the Kara stuff in S4, and the relationship between Tigh and Nr. 6 in the same season, which made hardly any sense at all. Also some of the one-off episodes weren't that strong (Black Market!). It's still great overall though. I'm in the New Caprica arc on my rewatch. So. Fucking. Good. 5 hours ago, Lord Sidious said: Excluding Ian McShane in Deadwood, I'm inclined to agree. Hard, but yeah, I'd say McShane is *barely* better. Both are awesome though.

RhaenysBee Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Buckwheat, the difference between hard-working and lazy students lies in this: hard working students may almost forget to go to their French lesson and feel stupid. Lazy students forget to go to their French lesson on purpose or don't have one in the first place. I should kick some life back into myself...

I'd definitely watch it, I'd also love another one with David Duchovny, Julian McMahon and Jeremy Piven as their respective best characters, but I'm not saying it would be near the same level of brilliance-just very amusing.

Mine has not gotten off to the best start. warning: rant Had to see a new doctor this morning which already had me upset. I liked the doctor I had been seeing for the past 7 years! He was LATE! which of course means I was late getting to work and will have to stay late tonight to make it up. I had to do a drug test to make sure I am actually taking my meds and not selling them. THAT REALLY PISSED ME OFF! He poked and prodded, did change my GERD meds, but says it could be my gall bladder (of course, over weight woman, it MUST be gall bladder! I told him I have a Barret's Esophagus (which causes my GERD.) have to get an ultrasound of the entire abdomen. But the gall bladder did not hurt while he was poking and prodding, but lower left side did. "that's unexpected." fuck, that was nice to hear him say. so a colonoscopy is also needed. And then to top it all off, when I get out to my car, it won't start! Just got a new battery on Saturday! well, stupid ass kid didn't tighten down the connector and it was completely off! I pushed it down, but didn't have anything to tighten it with. will have to check it before I drive home. Good thing it didn't come off all the way while I driving on the highway at 70 MPH I need chocolate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Speaking of feeling old! They just told on the news that a 15-year-old girl is going to take part in a world cup competition (in skijumping). That is almost 10 years younger than me. But then, I just talked to my grandmother earlier, and she said I should not feel like that because I am young. Lany, sorry about the troublesome day.

Buckwheat Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Friend and I agreed yesterday to meet today. I even sent her my phone number again because I know she always changes her phone and is kind of unreliable and might not have it again. Buses on a Saturday are horrible from my town to the city, so I have to plan ahead when I want to be somewhere. Then she sends me a message on fb some time during the night that she cannot make it and hopes I see this message as she does not have my phone number. Which I sent her yesterday two messages above. *grinds teeth like Stannis* I adore her, but people changing already made plans annoy me so so so much. We have enough trouble arranging to meet as it is (she is only in the country till Sunday), cannot she at least hold on to what we agreed? 14 hours ago, BB-Rhae said: That she gets accepted? Bah.

I never was a new girl at school, but was picked on anyway. And I did not exhibit any competitive behaviour either. I do not think this is any protection ... Putting together a 1000-pieces puzzle now. It is getting boring. It has been snowing yesterday and during the night. I need to go take a walk in the snow.
