Just kept tossing and turning. I guess this crap is bothering more than I thought. Now since I have the bullseye on my back, it will only make matters worse. I love raspberry ice tea, no strawberries or I turn into one huge hive. I also drink Arizona Green Tea quite a bit, my drink of the norm is a sprite (which is usually sprayed on the dogs or the cats, when someone writes something that gets me)

There are stores I have never ever got a reciept.... because their printers dies with me there. I was hooked up to an EKG before surgery, and it was flatlined until they moved it as far away as possible (makes you neverous when you are going under) I am banned in a couple of TV stores, because their TV's, computers and registrers die. Only computer who works with me, I have built myself. The average life tiome for anything around me is top 18 month.

No ulterior motives. No hidden meanings. An absence of hypocrisy, duplicity, political games, and verbal superficiality. As honesty and real integrity characterize our lives, there will be no need to manipulate others. ---*Charles Swindoll--- ...we are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided. Lord Voldemort's gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust.

If you order "tea" what you get is "sweet tea" (iced, and with enough sugar in it to give a tooth a cavity on the spot!); if you want less sweetening, you either order "Unsweet Tea" and sweeten to taste, with whichever sweetener you want --surgar, pink, blue or yellow -- or you order "half sweet, half un-sweet tea". If you want hot tea, you must ask for "hot tea" (and you'll usually get a cup of hot water and a teabag). As a side note, if you are ordering a cola soft drink and ask for "Coke", it might turn out to be Pepsi brand; I always first ask which they serve, and opt for water w/ lemon when they say Pepsi. >>>Honey-Dew Peach Smoothies<<< Oooh, that sounds ! small vent: The males I am related to! (husband and son....) What part of "You have to be a full-time student to be covered under Dad's insurance" is so incomprehensible? And, what part of "I'm going to Boston (from SC!) for a football game w/ xxxxxx (friend), and make it a 4-day weekend, [on the weekend of your birthday]" am I supposed to be happy about, or is supposed to be romantic?

It is a time released cortisone that works on allergies. I have managed to find one allergist here that is ok with giving it to me, after almost croaking during the allergy test...lol One shot usually helps me through the entire allergy season, but it can be given 2-3 times. The days things are extra bad I add on Benadryl (still don't know the drowsiness people talk about, never noticed them) and I my mom sent me some of the allergy eye drops that aren't sold here.

Here in Atlanta, every soft drink is called "coke". Other parts of the country may call it "pop", or "soda", but here it's always "coke". If a restaurant serves Pepsi brands, and you say you would like a diet Coke, they are suppose to tell you that they serve Pepsi products.

But the air is unbelievable here. Cindy, what a cute kitty, I'm so sorry that he's gone, I know what it's like to lose a beloved pet. Journey, I like the Arizona Green tea too. Maggs, I hope you get some relief from the hay fever. Malin, that is very interesting about you and your relationship with electronics! It's a good thing you have the know how to build your own computer. Jan, I hear you on the male issues, clueless at times aren't they? I will try to remember to turn off my siggy for this thread, I don't always think about it. HEATHER

I don;t know how people can treat animals like that. Just recently around here there was a kennel raided due to complaints from people who lived near it. There were hundreds of dead cats and dogs, and the surviving ones were starving were living in feces. They wouldn't even show the footage on the news. At first they couldn't find the owners, but now they are facing criminal charges, as they should. I think they should rot in hell, but that's just me. The customer is not always right! Trust me, I've dealt with some doozy's. Although in this case they were! Some sales people can be very rude, as can many customers. No body should ever be rude, especially over nothing, which is most often the case. I like all iced-tea. Sweetned or unsweetned, just depends on what kind of mood I'm in.

Sounds like she's become burned out in her job and needs to seriously consider a change of scenery! Heather....It must be so scarey being so close to the fires. The smoke must make it quite bad for most people to be outside. A fire has been burning in the Dismal Swamp here in Virginia for the past several weeks. When the wind is blowing from the south, we smell it here in Richmond. I had never encountered something like that before. It was bad enough, but if you also have to deal with ash in the air, that sounds so dreadful. Maggs....So you have hay fever amid all this coldness in the air? Weird! Sorry you're not feeling up to snuff... Gilda....Your words were so well written about the recent events here in Grobania. I do hang onto the hope that we can all learn from this and perhaps remember the golden rule a little more often. All of this talk about tea and coffee drove me to prepare of cup of tea. It's good, but I think it must be the sugar that is giving me a bad after taste. Maybe that's why I don't drink it that often. I'm trying like heck to not have another piece of cake! Josh still has my full respect-----I can't imagine it any other way. ******* bReNdA

(((HUGS))) I did read that right, didn't I? I think you had mentioned it before the original VENT thread went "poof". Thanks for the hugs, Gladys and Cruisin. I had my MRI on Wed. it didn't show anything else but the lump. That was a relief! I called to schedule my surgery and the person who does that is out until Monday and they told me I had to talk to her and no one else. The radiologist at the VA clinic is going to call her for me on Monday morning, he told me I was his top priority right now. So I'm thinking my surgery will be this coming up week. This waiting, sucks! I'm listening to the AWAKE cd right now. Listening to Josh has such a soothing qaulity. On every prescription a doctor writes should also include besides, take 1 or 2 of this or that a day but also listen to Josh Groban for stress related issues you also may be experiencing. Very cool that he's going to be singing at the All-Star game! Last Edited By: OshKoshOhMyJosh 07/10/08 15:57:19. Edited 2 times.

It was trial and terror, but for some reason, I quickly got a hang of it and I can do most of the hardware maintenance needed. I don't like software especially much, but I know the basics.... enough to be able to install whatever I need and I know the basic commands when working "behind" windows.

You team is eliminated from the Playoffs so you root for Toronto "because Mats Sundin is a stud!" You sometimes wonder why they don't make hockey versions of Bop and Tiger Beat. To you, NHL stands for "National Hottie League." You wonder why Jeremy Stevenson and Mike LeClerc don't get called up more often.* You have a lot of respect for Sergei Fedorov. You consider Alexandre Daigle to be one of the greats. You "hate that guy from Billy Madison, but the guy in Happy Gilmore...now there's a stud!" You think that Al MacInnis and Larry Murphy suck. Your fantasy league features two- and occasionally three-player teams. You think that Rocket Richard is Buzz Lightyear's cousin from Toy Story. You pick Paul Kariya over Bob Probert in a fight to the death. You can't understand why so many people boo Matt Barnaby and Darius Kasparaitis. You wonder what all the fuss about this "Wayne Gretzky" guy retiring is. Your pre-game ritual includes Wash 'n Curl. You wish they'd quit wasting valuable hottie-watching time while "those slow ice cream trucks drive around the ice during half-time." On your list of hobbies is "hockey players." You'd kiss Mike Ricci but not the guy who just moved in next door from Alabama. You've ever used the words "Mark Messier" and "huggable" together in the same sentence. You didn't find a single one of these at all** humourous...! by request, this is a copy of the puckbunny list that was posted by Victoria in the other vent thread!

I know it's not as simple as I'm about to make it but maybe you could concentrate on something else? Just trying to help, Jen. Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver!
