Total avoidance
Poor Scooter... Ok fine I'll SAY IT!
I-D-O-N-T-W-A-N-T-T-O-S-A-Y-G-O-O-D-B-Y-E! Not because I don't like you, because you know how stinkin emotional I am. And I also know how you try to act like you're not & I know you are. So there. We'd both be sitting at the restaurant laughing & then all teary eyed. Thus...the pretend lunch!
More info here:
Scott: Hey freakazoid
Julie: hey luzer
Scott: whatever
Scott: when are you taking the car in tomorrow?
Julie: earlyish
Julie: like 8:30
Scott: are you just avoiding this situation so you don't have to say goodbye?
Julie: NO
Scott: i mean... because, i can accept that if that's what you want.
Julie: but that sounds good too
Scott: hehe
Julie: :-J
Scott: so.... why can't you do lunch at 11:15 if you're taking the car in at 8:30?
Julie: because it's getting a tune up & they are checking the water leaky thingie
Julie: I have NO idea when it will be done
Scott: yeah, so? are you gonna just sit there the whole time waiting?
Scott: you could just leave it there...
Julie: mariah is giving me a ride home & I have Miranda
Scott: hm. have you ever been to los compeneros?
Julie: no.
Julie: where IS it?
Scott: on the corner of 1st and uncompaghre. 4 or 5 blocks down the road from you.
Scott: you could walk there!
Julie: oh.
Julie: ok.
Julie: & if i don't WANT to say good bye...
Julie: then what?
Scott: Or I could pick you guys up on the motorcycle! haha
Scott: don't say goodbye, it'll be easier for ME that way too!
Julie: ok so we can just forget the WHOLE THING.
Julie: because I already cried last night & today
Julie: & all weekend.
Scott: the "whole thing" meaning lunch? or just the saying goodbye part?
Julie: lunch=goodbye nerd.
Julie: we've never really been to lunch
Scott: yeah, true. miranda would be all, "why are you crying AGAIN mommy?!"
Julie: exactly
Scott: not just the 2 of us, true.
Julie: so lets PRETEND you took me to lunch. it's such a nice thought... I'll just ruin it & bawl.
Scott: ok, it's a plan. tomorrow at 11:15, i'll PRETEND to have a nice dinner conversation with you.
Julie: YES & I'll PRETEND not to blow pop out my nose!
Julie: :)
Scott: IT'S A DATE!!
Julie: coo
Scott: it's strange to think that i won't ever see you again. not that i do now, but i know that i COULD if i wanted or needed to, and now it won't be an option any more.
Scott: :-|
Scott: don't cry though... that wasn't the point.
Julie: i know & I don't want to talk about it.
Julie: so there.
Scott: ok.
Scott: fine
Julie: domn't go gettin all sappy.
Julie: lets just act like nothing is happening
Julie: that's the best idea!
Scott: i'll send you a mushy, sentimental email while you're traveling so you'll have it when you get there!
Julie: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]
Scott: right. Right. I can do that.
Julie: no no no
Scott: well, i think i'm going to PRETEND to go to bed now.
Scott: latah.
Julie: 8-O
Julie: latah

Here I sit...
crying like a little baby. I just got off the phone with Braydens best friend Rigo's mom. They have been best friends since kindergarten & are both going into 5th grade. Glory (Rigo's mom) said that Rigo is so upset & cried & cried. They are leaving for Mexico tomorrow morning so they won't be here the rest of the week at school. Glory said that Rigo wrote Brayden a note & sat in his room for a good half an hour writing it. Then he took a glow in the dark star sticker & put in on there & wants Glory to give it to Brayden tomorrow.
You know...I remember moving as a kid, but we almost always moved just a few cities away. Sure, I had to go to a new school, but could still see my friends. The reason I didn't want to have to move is because of this very reason. I didn't want this to happen, & now I'm heart broken. For everyone.
Isn't life funny? Like you're going along just fine & WHAM! You're hit by an emotional Semi! Minding your own business & along comes this thing that makes you sob & shake & then pretty soon it fades away & along comes something else...

Whew!
Ok, I'm in a hurry & just have a sec, so I'm going to update you with an IM conversation I'm too lazy to change into real words... :biggrin
Julie: so... we are leaving Monday.
Scott: Hm. That soon huh?
Julie: yepper
Julie: & I'm getting excited
Julie: & I don't wanna say goodbye to ANYBODY!
Julie: because I'll just cry
Julie: and MAN did I have a crazy weekend!!!
Julie: First my Moms old neighbor a very, very sweet man that used to come over every few weeks died. :(
Julie: THEN my favorite kitty gor stuck about 5 stories up in a tree
Julie: because our neighbor had his dog chase all the kitties up there ON PURPOSE
Julie: so after about 2 hours of being up there she fell.
Julie: :'(
Julie: cats don't always land on their feet.
Scott: yuck.
Julie: well she's alive!
Julie: I thought she was dead...she wasn't moving...but she's fine now. can u believe it?
Julie: I was crying SO hard...& praying my butt off
Julie: & she's just fine. like it never happened
Julie: THEN...
Julie: yesterday Bobby was watching Alias....
Julie: & decided he wanted to be like them.
Julie: so he climbed up on the kitchen counter & got out the pepper spray!!!!
Julie: Right in his face
Julie: in his eyes
Julie: all over his skin.
Julie: poor baby
Scott: hehe, i did that when i was a kid too.
Julie: nerd. that figures. :)
Julie: Bob & I were outside talking...sitting in chairs & I'm like what the heck is going on in there?
Julie: Bobby comes running out with his hands on his face.
Julie: aagghhh
Julie: so that 's about it on that stuff...
Julie: oh AND....
Julie: get this.
Julie: We have been worried the landlord is going to try & stick us for the toliets & plumbing & faucets being bad...
Julie: & this guy shows up @ the yard sale & says ...
Julie: so you're moving & leaving the plumbing & septic problems to someone else?
Julie: ??!!
Julie: I was like WHO are you?
Julie: well...he was the Roto Rooter guy that had been coming there for the last 11 years!
Julie: am I talking to myself?
Scott: no, i'm reading. bekah is all over me.
Julie: ok good
Julie: THEN...
Julie: he says well if she ever tries giving you a hard time about it...you give me a call.
Julie: & then he wrote out a note for us to take saying that it had been having really bad problems she was unwilling to fix for over 11 years.
Julie: :D
Julie: AND...
Julie: my uncle called & said that he decided that if we were going to be paying rent to live there that ...
Julie: WE should get the real house
Julie: the upstairs with the 3 bedrooms!!!
Julie: not the basement apartment with 1 bedroom.
Julie: so now we are moving into a 3 bedroom house with a yard & a tree house & a 2 car garage
Julie: so can u believe all this?
Julie: !
Scott: yikes.
Julie: weird life i have huh?
Julie: & i didn't even tell you everything.

Do you realize...
that we are getting rid of SO many clothes!! I mean my whole existance is looking pretty pathetic here. We are selling almost everything & I'm worried we still won't have enough money to move. I think we'll be ok, but it's pretty sad when everything you have isn't enough. A few of the things we were going to sell aren't going to be worth as much as we had expected since they are broken. Sooo...that's my week in a nutshell. I think I'll be really glad once we get there & this is over. It's probably not as bad starting over as it is losing it all. At least I hope not!! If it is I am SO screwed!
I think I've pretty got everything worth selling together besides the million loads of wash I have left to do. I finally went through the clothes & sorted it into keep & get rid of stuff. I'm washing the get rid of stuff first. My computer desk is still set up & my entertainment center is still in the living room. Maybe we'll put the desk in the paper? I kinda doubt it, but maybe. We'll see.
K gotta go kids are being really really bad.

Note to the guy that...
cut me off around 4:45 today & took MY spot in the City Market parking lot. You know who you are. Big white truck... driving really fast. Well just in case you didn't *realize* you cut me off & totally took MY spot, & was sitting there wondering why I layed on the horn & screamed "fucker" out the window at you....that's why. and you are.

Trying to find...
online coupons for hotel/motels along the way is pretty hard! I found tons of sites, but we aren't getting organized enought o know what cities we are going to stop in. I mean, what if one of the kids get sick, or who knows... All hte online hotel coupons want you to pick a specific location. I wish there was one with a travel plan so you could route your trip & know what's along the way. (somebody should make that!) I'll check mapquest, & I think I'm going to call a few places that are big chains & see if I can reserve a room & have it transferred or something. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. :gurn
P.S. What the &^%$ is the difference between a Hotel & a Motel...?!

:whyme
Oh! it was on an unpopped microwave caramel corn seed!! Acording to their website...I'm eating a "high impact flavor". I think they had the high impact part right... suck.

Going to be pretty busy the next few weeks...
Today I cleaned & cleaned & cooked, & went through the kids toys. Well most of them. The big toy-box anyhow. I also went through the videos. I think we've decided on a 5x8 trailer. I just found a place that says a trailer that size will hold a Dorm/Efficiency Apt & is 208 cubic feet. So if we are not taking any furniture, I think we'll be ok. We'll have the trunk of the car too. Which is pretty big. So...we are having a huge moving sale next Friday Saturday & Sunday. I think it'll be fine...I'm not getting rid of anything that means a lot to me....so it's ok. Furniture is replaceable.
It's going to be really hard saying goodbye, so maybe I just won't? I don't know. That is really the sucky part. Leaving behind so many people I care about... but I really think this is going to be a good thing for us. Family is so important.
We also have to get rid of the kitties... which yes, we still have. We have had 5 cats in our house since March 3rd. Simply because we were there when they were born, & we love them. Really. It's funny. There are 4 kitties & 5 of us & each of us has latched on to a different one. Bob & Miranda are sharing one. Which IF we were going to keep oone it should be that one...to be fair. BUT Brayden little mister emotional is crying every other day over his favorite. :'( We promised we could keep some from the next batch. All I can say is...I don't feel bad for keeping them this long because they are the most loving little kitties & will be really good pets. :angel
That's about it from the land of Nod. Gonna make popcorn & watch the mummy returns with the kids.

Miss Cleo
You know you get them...the letters & emails about how Miss Cleo has
something important to tell you blah blah blah. Well, I'm thinking if I had
more money than I do I would have called just because I'm a sucker that way.
Always believing in things because I think Why would they lie? Well, you
have GOT to read this I
read the whole thing...& it just makes me sick.

Montel
Since I started working nights, I usually watch The Montel Show everyday. It's a good show, & I think it's really great that they help people that are confused/messed up whatever. Well today Montel said something about people should get their own DNA tests & they say they can't afford them & that if they saved $1 out of their food money for 2 years they would have enough money. Well! That was rude. I mean really. Those people are making his show what it is...so what's he griping about?

Packing sucks
I'm going through stuff & getting ready to pack. I can NOT believe how much junk we have accumilated over the last 6 years! aack. It looks like we are getting rid of just about everything since moving trucks are so stinkin expensive. The trailers are cheap, too bad they want more than twice as much as the trailer rental to install the hitch! This really sucks. Not that we have much of an option, we need a trailer, but it really sucks that they screw you that way.

Yawn
Well, I went to sleep @ like 1:30 got up @ 7 to take the kids to school. Took Mandy to her friends @ 8:45, dinked around on the computer until 10:45 when I went to get her... came home layed down & Miranda kept talking & talking until 12:15. "Mom are you sleeping?" "Watch this show with me" "Mom are you awake?' "mom, mom mom" So here it is 2. I just woke up... & now the whole damn day is gone again! :confused
Bob was all p.o.'d yesterday because the house was a mess & the kids ate most what I made for supper, so he decided to call me at work & bitch, bitch, bitch about it. Now I have half an hour to take a shower & get ready to go get the kids @ 2:30. I'll be home around 3, & will have an hour to clean before Mr. Crabbiness gets home. If the kids would help me it would be fine. But they'll whine & want me to make them something to eat & say they're tired or ignore me or whatever they are going to do THIS time... :snide so, I gotta go. Wish me luck...that I can turn into that Brawny lady with the one huge arm that drags her around cleaning like crazy.
P.S. I hate cleaning!:perplex

Google is so cool
Here's their online museum of logos commemorating holidays and events. (Link via Scott) I really like the Google doodles. The fathers Day is really cute too. And...did you notice the cool assortment of colored balls on the bottom left? Google rocks.

The Body Blues
I heard about this new (?) thing on the radio, & figured I'd check it out. It's mostly for women, I think, but everybody knows a woman or 2, so you might want to check it out.
It says "If you are struggling with three or more of the following symptoms, you may have the Body Blues!" There is a online quiz at the link above.
Eating too much
Mild depression
Low energy
Heightened sensitivity to rejection or criticism
Irritability or tension
Difficulty concentrating
Sleep difficulties
Mild anxiety
Daytime drowsiness
Decreased interest in sex
Anyhow, it seems the solution is:
1) Going for a brisk outdoor walk, 20-minutes a day, 5 days a week
2) Getting more very bright light during the day but less light at night.
3) Taking six vitamins and minerals in the following dosages:
50 mg. vitamin B-1
50 mg. vitamin B-2
50 mg. vitamin B-6
400 mcg. folic acid (folate)
400 IU vitamin D
200 mcg. selenium
Maybe I'll try it. Hmmm.

Emode
Emode says that I am: The girl next door.
Cute, fun, and sweet, you're Sandra Bullock, Jennifer Aniston, and Meg Ryan all rolled up into one — the perfect Girl Next Door. Naturally pretty, unpretentious, and generous, you demand your share of respect, but you aren't particularly high-maintenance. What's your ideal date? Probably a Blockbuster night — you don't mind skipping an evening on the town if it means getting some old-fashioned snuggling on the sofa. Careful yet spontaneous, you're a little bit of the Guy's Girl, a smidge of Sorority Sister (the nice kind), and just a hint of the Hippie Chick. But you've got an appeal that's all your own, which is why the guys can't stay away. People are attracted to your strong values and traditional ways. Your winning smile, bright eyes, and loving nature will make anyone want to hold on tight and never let go.
They also say if I were a breed of dog, I'd be:
A Bernese Mountain Dog
No bones about it, you're a good-hearted, people-loving Bernese Mountain Dog. Down-to-earth and loyal, no one works or plays harder than you do. You put your nose to the grindstone when it really counts, but you never neglect your social calendar. Simultaneously strong and sweet, you're very tuned-in to the feelings and needs of the other dogs you run with. Without having to be asked, you always have a helping paw to lend and a sympathetic shoulder to lean on. "Communication" is your middle name, and when that's paired with your unswerving devotion, you get a breed that everyone respects and trusts. Woof!
Heh. Woof.

Happy mother's Day!
My sweet Bobby made me a card @ school that made me cry! It says:
"Dear Mommy,
You are nice, cool, sweet, pretty and I love you Mommy.
You are relly in my heart Mommy.
When you are sad it makes me sad to.
You are the worlds greatest Mom!
Love, Robert H. "
Isn't that so sweet?? Aawww! :') Funny how he added his last initial like i don't know who he is huh?

I'm back
Camping was pretty weird. I can't say it was awful, but I can say this for sure. Camping was fun yesterday & sucked big time today! Yesterday we played games & made smores, & ate & told stories...
Then we went to bed. Ugh. The people a few sites over were drinking & started screaming for like an hour and a half. This one woman, I saw walking (Ok, kinda drunkenly swaying) down the path with her child, which made me sick. I know it was her. She looked like the get drunk & start a fight kind. Anyhow...it was like random couldn't make out what she was saying screaming for like an hour on & off with her baby crying in between. Then it turned into *running around camp areas* Stay away from me! Leave me alone! aagghh. So there I am trying to sleep, feeling really sorry for that baby & hoping he's alright.
Ok, so my sleep was disturbed a bit no biggie, but around 2am it starts raining. It's like low 30's & raining. It doesn't rain very often here, so we had everything outside. Our shoes, our clothes, our food, my new alarmclock/radio...everything. So by morning I am soaked on half of my body & half of my head from being next to the side of the tent. I wake up with a total migraine, & the kids saying "Look! It's snowing!" Well shit! It was hailing/snowing all over everything. So not only were my shoes & all our clothes soaked, but frozen. Man it was awful!!
But...I do have to admit. Bob hiked his butt half a mile down to the car, started it up, turned on the heat & walked Miranda & I down there. He carried Mandy. He let us sit there in the nice warm car & he packed up everything with the boys & hauled it all down to the cars. Wasn't that sweet? :)

(pdf) We'll have to stop at Wally World & get stuff for smores, I can NOt believe after all the food & stuff we bought yesterday we forgot that! What's camping with no marshmalllows?!
Well, camping with 4, 8, & 10 year olds...wish me luck!

Infomercial time again...
Staying up late has it's disadvantages...especially when you have no cable or satellite. I am stuck watching infomercials at some point. (Like now) So once again, i will start with the Nads wondering. Not because that's the one that's on, but just because... I keep thinking I want to try it.
So I'm loooking for people who have tried it...& I find this kid who ATE it! (Swore the whole time too...plus said a few not so nice things about the women in the video.)
Then I found this self proclaimed "sasquatch" that tried it, & then used it for chicken glaze!
Ok, & on epinions.com there are 213 reviews with only a 19% recommendation...so I'm thinking not. Has anyone tried this & it worked...?!

Stop Caling Me Already!!!
I just added my phone # to the Colorado No Call List... so by July 1st, when I'm already living in another state...I'll have less telemarketers calling! Woohoo...that was stupid. But , whatever. Hmmm it says here:
Q. Will some telemarketing calls still be permitted?
A. Yes, by law certain telemarketing calls and faxes are still allowed. They are calls:
*To any residence with that resident's prior express invitation or permission.
*By or on behalf of any person or entity with whom a resident has an established business relationship.
*For 30 days after a resident has contacted a business to inquire about the potential purchase of goods or services or until the resident requests that no further calls be made, whichever occurs first.
*By or on behalf of a charitable organization that is required to and that has complied with the notice and reporting requirements of section 6-16-104 C.R.S. or is excluded from such notice and reporting requirements by section 6-16-103(7) C.R.S.
*Made for the sole purpose of urging support for or opposition to a political candidate or ballot issue; or
*Made for the sole purpose of conducting political polls or soliciting the expression of opinions, ideas or votes.
See what happens when I watch the news? It cracks me up when they say "point your browser to" www.whatever.com or "just dial up" www.whatever.com.
I think the 2 total worst though, are when people say:
"on the line" instead of "online" &
"american online" instead of "america online"
I don't know why...it just bugs me.

Alias
Ok, I can NOT believe I forgot to mention Alias since Sunday! Can you believe they shot Will? :( And poor Michael... why can't he tell Sydney that he likes her... I keep wondering if her & him will get together or her & Will. Do you really think Wills dead? He can't be...he's in every episode! Here's the details if you missed it... I can't believe this Sunday is the final episode! No point watching reruns...I've seen every episode already. :)

Out of the mouths of babes....
Brayden says "Guess what Mom! I got to touch COW SNOT today!"
Then Bobby says "Hey Mom see if you can hit ANOTHER cone!" (yes, yesterday I hit 2 of those orange construction cones!!) I tried telling Bob that I just knicked them & Brayden yells "Oh Yes! you ran that one over yesterday!" Me: "I did NOT" Bray: "Well than what was that big BUMP? AND...you hit 3 this week not 2!" aagghhh...yes I KNOW Bray. thanks.

Woohooo
I bought the coolest new clock radio cube thingie! It has a dual alarm...which is SO cool!! (You can set it for 2 different times...like Bob gets up @ 5 & I get up @ 6:30. He always had to reset the alarm for me...well no more!) You can also choose 3 different ways for it to go off. Yeehaw. I also got a new purplish blue cordless phone...since our old one died about a month ago & I hate to sit still...it was driving me nuts. No, the phone does NOT reach the computer! aacck. So it's charging now & I'll be all over the house next time I'm on the phone! heh.

Where oh where...
can my wallet be? It's been MIA for about 2 weeks now. Last seen: kitchen table in the hands of my children! I've pulled out the couches... which I just really didn't want to do...I looked down at the various toys, pokemon cards, & filth & pushed it right back. Lets pretend for today that I never looked there. I'll clean it tomorrow. No I won't. I'm going on a field trip with Bray tomorrow. Ok, I'll clean it Wednesday. If I don't have nightmares before then. Ugh. So anyhow, if anyones psychic & can tell me where it is.... Please? heh. Crap.

QOW
Ok, here's the deal. Raising Hell is having a question of the week . Here's my answer...& if anyone can beat this...they deserve to win. :)
The question is....Birthday parties are supposed to provide great memories for children. Sometimes it works out that way, and sometimes it doesn't. What was your or your child's best/worst birthday party experience?
Ok, the only B-day party I remember having as a child was a slumber party when I was in 3rd or 4th grade. I was allowed to invite like 6 girls over to spend the night. My mother (a single parent) had quite a passion for vodka at the time,(hmmm maybe it was Brandy then?) ok for a long time. Up until 2 years ago really.... anyhow. I BEGGED my Mom, begged her NOT to go out for my birthday party. She said she wouldn't. She promised! She lied. So whatever, there we were being good little girls in my bedroom playing don't spill the beans. My mother came home at like 9:00 & must have been a little confused as to the time of day. She came bursting into my room totally drunk & SCREAMING at us to go to bed right NOW! She couldn't believe we will still awake. So I remember girls saying they wanted to go home...actually I think they DID go home & I think they were cring.... The next day at school & for quite a while after that Tiffany this little 2 faced friend I had ran around the school saying "Julie Miller's Mom is a DRUNK!" & everyone picked on me for a long time after that.

Scenery2
Now scenery 2 if you look on the mid-top right has a small green blob. That's Bray...just so you can get some idea of the proportions & how HUGE the Black Canyon is.

What a day!
Well...we had a lot of fun today. We went to the Black Canyon & had a picnic, then the boys went fishing for a while. We decided we were going to go camping next weekend. Now that will be quite an experience. I mean, Miranda is 4 now, so MAYBE it will be ok...but I doubt it. We'll see. I think the kids will have fun regardless, so... it will be cool.

Pesonality test
I was just @ The Spark... taking a personality test & THEY say I am...
HEALER
(Submissive Extrovert Concrete Feeler )
Like just 9% of the population you are a HEALER (SECF)-- caring, good with people, and patient. You are completely selfless and full of love. As a concrete feeler, you do well with your emotions, which are very strong. You understand and appreciate *why* you feel the way you do, and for the most part you're at peace with yourself.
Suffering in the world really pisses you off.
In relationships, it's easy for you to get hurt. Avoid all kinds of dominant (D***) people, *especially* in dating or marriage. You are a motherly figure, even if you're a guy. If you're a girl, make sure you're a mom some day. The world's children need people like you.
On the rare occasions when you try to assert yourself, you're cute and awkward, but highly effective.

I have a migraine...
it sucks. On & off all day. Ick. It's been a few weeks since I've had one, so it's extra sucky.
I took the boys to a 50's sock hop at their school tonight. They had fun, & are in BED already...it's a miracle. Yippie. Iasked if they danced, & Bobby (the 8 year old said he did the disco?!) ok...
We had baked potatoes with our supper & Miranda says, Mom, I don't like "matotos". She's so cute. Bob looked at her & said, "Miranda, do you know you are the most beautiful girl in the whole world?" She said "yes" her Mommy tells her that constsntly! She also said her sweet little prayer....
"Dear God & Jesus, thank you for my pretty pretty Mommy that I love so much & thank you for my Dad, & my brothers being gone, & thank you for us gonna move to Wisconsin because I want to see Faline, & my new baby cousin. Amen." Aaawww.
I'm tired & moving in slow-mo, so I'm out. ;)

Morph
Man if you look up "oldies" you sure can find a bunch of good stuff! I found a song that I remember my mom telling me, when I was in like 3rd grade, was my "Dad's" favorite song. I just got it & it almost made me cry. Must not have been too popular because I haven't heard it since I was that little.... it's called Playground in my mind. Ever hear of it?
If you are wondering why I put the word dad in quotes it's because I've never met him. Funny thing is...I know he's alive, & living in Illinois. I wrote him about 8 years ago, but I'm not sure whether he just didn't care or didn't get it. Weird situation. Plus I have his current address. I've been thinking of writing & sending pictures, but how exactly do you start a letter like that... how do you end it...& how do you not sound mad that the fool hasn't talked to you for your whole life...by choice?! Hmmm.... any advice on this one would be really appreciated. :)

Just once...
I would like to see Perfect Martha Stewart drop some antique thing that's worth a butt-load of money. Just to see her reaction...& the reaction of whoever owns it. Maybe it would go like...
*Crash*
Martha: Oh sh*t! I can't believe I just did that!! *sobs*
Owner: You clumsy bi*ch! You're gonna pay for that! *slap slap*
or...
*Crash*
Martha: OMG! I forgot to wipe the butter off my hands after baking that buttery whatever fancy schmancy dish!! I am SO sorry!
Owner: Oh, it's ok Ms. Stewart, it was only irreplaceable, I mean my great-great-great grandma gave her life to get this for our family. How about we take everything you have in exchange? *sinister laugh*
or...
*Crash*
Martha: !@#$$#&* ^%$#* !~@#$ !#$% (on LIVE TV mind you)
Owner: That's it! You're going down Stewart!
Martha: And YOU can see this all on our website@ www.marthastewart.com!
*smack* *punch* etc...
Anyone have any other ideas how this would go...??

Suckage
See...this post WAS called linkage, but MT sucked my whole post into the abyss of nothingness. So, now we'll call it suckage. Anyhow, I have 92 links in my mailbox emailed to me - by me & I have to start going through them...so if I find anything cool...I'll post it.

This day sucks!
Really.... ever have one of those days when everyone & everything pissed you off from the minute you got up? Well, that's me today. I don't even want to talk about it... maybe later, but I'm sure nodody wants to get an eyefull of filthy language right now... so I'm not talking.
When I'm really pissy like this I get irritated by little things, like all the JUNK mail I get at my yahoo addresses. I mean beyond junk...you can add 100 blocked addresses & I was at that & needed to add more. But couldn't. No, I don't want to upgrade! This IS my junk mail account...but that' doesn't mean I have to get 300+ emails a day full of CRAP I don't want. So lets look at a few of these spam crappin headers that people actually thought waere so creative that I would click on it & read.... NOT!
-WOW friend! (Wow! Freak!)
-Let's be friends (Umm, no.)
- cc: Find out if you are related to movie stars! (From Brad Flippin PITT no less! Wow! How HE'D Get my junk mail address?)
-Congratulations! You Get Two FREE Airline Tickets (Yeah, & I also have 5 eyes, & nose hemmorhoids)
- How does a FREE CD Player sound? (uhh...too good to be true. Delete.)
- Get Paid to Shop! Get Paid to Eat Out! (Ok... right & you can get paid to kiss my....!)
- Pinch Me - No One Would Give This Away (How 'bout I PUNCH you?)
- Hi,how are you (Much better off without you)
