I'm good, been a bit busy with school and whatnot. It would be nice to say I'm out of school, but I transfered one time too many, so I'll be in school til Dec. '04 But to be honest, I am enjoying schol, parties, minimal responsibility, and kick ass free sporting events so don't pity me. I am uber excited, I am finally getting my digital camera this week so ya!
Sorry this took so long to reply, How's married life?

December Post
Happy Holidays, I made cookies tonight, enjoy
Just Shut the fuck up!
Seriously, does this crap matter that much? You don't like someone? Don't talk to them, or better yet, get over it. Lifes too short to carry around baggage, especially message board baggage. Just let it go, if you don't harp on it maybe you will feel better and the board might actually have a few interesting posts that invlolve an real issues.
wow, I guess it had to end sometime
I guess I just thought if the board could survive the end of the show it woudl be ok
Godspeed, Sweetdreams
I thought I would bring this over here, it'll last longer
HI all, I thought i would drop in and write a holiday season message. The title of my post is the title off my new favorite CD (yes, I ACTUALLY purchased a cd) The newest Dixie CHicks. I was actually quite proud that this cd wasn't a bunch of pop crap like some other country acts have done after getting some mainstream popularity. Anyways back on topic.
I have had a lovely break, seen 4 fantabulous movies in a row, been to Nebraska, got some spiffy presents, and enjoyed my at home friends.
Shopping was good, and I got mine out of the way so I didn't get into too much rage inducing traffic. I got to babysit my CUTE twin nephews (5 months) a bunch. My family has called me a baby hog since I was a kid so I enjoy them even when they are fussy, and I swear they think I'm their favorite aunt <G>
I got some lovely gifts, silk pajamas from my man was probly my favorite. I also got some good deals with my shopping money (that's one of my presents every year because I like shopping and never get to do it) including a cool 6 piece dish set from an antique store in Nebraska.
Flyng was ok, but let me just give some advice, if any of you are ever scheduled to fly into Kansas City Airport and don't have too, CHANGE YOUR PLANS. The layout makes security impossibly slow and inefficient, and not they are going to have to completely remodel the airport, so you are facing inefficiency and construction, run away.
New years was oodles of fun. We tried to watch the special edition Monty Python DVD with such special features as "How to use your coconuts; an education film", the HOly Grail in Japanese (holy sake cup), and MP in Lego. But Drinking game won out. I being the good hostess and on call DD drank Red BUll (an energy drink) and Mnt. Dew. It has some fun side effects for a non-alchoholic drink. Oh and if any of you ever want a good drinking game that only requires a deck of cards just ask.
Let's see, The movies were (in order of viewing)Star Trek~ I hope they make another, I am a closet trek fan. (who ISN'T attracted to Capt. Picard?)
LOTR 2 Towers~ EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRST, I want to go see it again, because A) it was great and 2) I think Gangs of NY will ruin my good movie streak.
Two Weeks Notice~ What can I say Sandra Bullock (sp?) is hilarious and I love Hugh Grant, it was good
Catch Me if you Can~ LEo, ToM, Spielberg, and a true story to boot, good fun
Anyways, Happy New Year, what's your resolution?
Megs
More on LOTR....
I gave my boyfriend the special edition extended version of Fellowship of the Rings. It's really cool with all teh extended stuff in. It explains more and is over 4 hours long. It also has a lot of documentaries, you can tell these ppl wprked really hard to make these movies the right way. I HAVE to go see 2 again, smeegle was just too funny too wait for dvd.

TLOTR The Two Towers
I was wondering who all has seen the second lord of the rings movie. I thought it was better than the first one. It's rare to find a sequal that's better than te first, but these movies are different I guess. Anyways I am sure that some of you guys have seen it. I myself was teh one who went early on wednesday to buy tickets for all my friends. We got there a half hour early and there were already over 50 ppl in line to go in the actual theatre. Anyways, this board was looking naked so I thought I would bring up my love for movies (If you guys couldn't tell)

sassy/HP Update
Hagrid is a good choice, but what about Dumbledore? Can't you imagine it - a huge battle between he and Voldermort?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh simply cannot come to terms with loosing Dumbledore till book seven. Maybe early or in the middle of book seven but still, I just can't imagine anyone else as Headmaster. That's why the word "sacked" on the card worries me. It could be Dumbledore that is fired considering the rift between him and Fudge in the end of book 4. If not him, I think it might be Mr. Weasley
Megs
sassy/HP - Thanks
Wow, that is interesting. 38 Chapters? Yikes !! And I thought they would have a tough time making "Goblet" into a movie it was so long. I would hope that Ron doesn't die. I always saw he and Hermoine marrying in Book 7 !!
~~~~~
Oh yeah, I am a big fan of Ron and Hermione, and the actors that play them are so cute together. I really don't think Ron will die, especially in book 5, but JKR has said that there is a really bad death in book 5 that was difficult to write. I think it's Hagrid, as sad as that is.

sassy/ HP Update
I have to say that I found "Goblet of Fire" very dark - even more so than "Prisoner of Azkahban". At first, I thought that the last two books were not for young adults, but when you think of the types of video games they're playing, "Goblet" was probably a piece of cake.
Have you heard what Book 5 is about??
~~~~~~~~~~
I also think that the books mature as they go, but I appreciate that. I have never thought these books were meant for 5 years olds. That's why I am concerned there will be some backlash when unwitting parents still think it'sa ok to take there little kids to see the next HP movies. Young adults in my mind is 11 and up. I think an 11 year old can handle them, and parents should appreciate that the books don't try to downplay evil or ignore grey area.
In reguards to what Book 5 is about, JKR has given a card with 93 words pertaining to the book to Sothebys to auction off for charity. The auction house has released 13 of the words as a preview for bidders. Some words include "38 chapters, Ron, broom, dies, sacked, and sorry" that's all I can remember right now, but the website www.the-leaky-cauldron.org is taking donations so that they can bid on it and post it for everyone to see. It's looking like the book will be released sometime around May or june right now.
Megs
Yes! Be SURE to see Harry Potter and the upcoming Lord Of The Rings movies!
Since I just saw the first Harry Potter movie last week, Lord knows how long it will be before I see the second (although I have read all 4 books and cannot wait for the fifth)
Still haven't seen LOTR
~~~~~~~~~~~~
<Meg enters, looks around stuned, ppl? Here? Huh? Grabs a squashy chair and settles in, clothes still in tact mind you>
I saw HP1, HP2, and LOTR all on opening night, there's more energy. However I have to say the weirdness quotient (sp?) went up substantially on the second HP movie. There were groupies, fake wands, costumes, everything. And I too cannot wait for the next book, sassy. I am glad I am not alone. Did you hear about the book 5 preview?
Megs
Megs
Damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone finally showed up, I guess I can't walk around naked in here anymore. <g>

Hello?..................<echo>Hello
Geez this boards so empty you could walk around naked in here and no one would notice :)

HI Folks, I'm Back.Sortof
How's the summer been? MIne went by too quickly, why can't it always be summer?
Megs
LOL, enjoy it while you can. Are you going into your last year of school?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sadly no, with my transfer (which I was only officially accepted last week) it's looking like I have a couple years left. It's better than boyfriend, he's switching majors and it's looking like he might have even longer. Oh yeah the other thing I forgot to mention, baby watch is well under way. My cousin and his wife are expecting identical twin boys this month and we are all very excited because there hasn't been a baby in the family in 12 years.
Oh and Dennis, I forgot to get some of the photos for my portfolio from last weeks trip but I will next time. They aren't exactly fascinating photos, just soccer teams. It sounds easy to shoot them, but there are like 50 million ways to screw it up. Anyways, I think I am gonna hop in the hammock and read for a little while. Catch ya later!
Megs
The party was a hit
Boyfriend was totally surprised. I thought I would post my mid summer hello here since it won't get lost among other posts. I have finally got to start my job with my Uncle and got to leave the daycare. My last day there was quite eventful. I was in the infant room, and beautiful baby Emily decided to have some fun. I had just sat her on the changing table and taken off her wet diaper when she looked up at me and grinned. Apparently she had a little left over and decided to tinkle on the table, thus getting herself wet. Anna Grace not wanting to be out done pulled the same stunt later in the day. However she is to young to sit up on her own, so while I was half holding her up half getting her shirt off she spit/threw up all over my arm. Luckily the entire fiasco occurred on a day when my alergies blocked my sense of smell.
Anyways, so after my last day of daycare I went to set up the house for the party the following day. Andy was completely surprised, and the party was a smash. My cousin managed to break my Jeep down(no gas we later realized) in front of the EZ liqour store, but still had a good time mixing drinks for everyone, My Dad sang "R rated songs" (I want a butt-ugly slut with a bad drinking problem), my friends all got drunk and tried to come on to each other, the house looked like a tornado came through, and my baby played music all night. We had a blast and thankfully my hammock was not broken.
Then it was off to Colorado for my first Tournament working with my uncle. In the past week I have made $500, been to 5 new states, seen the brindge that collapsed in Oklahoma, seen the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial, climbed a volcano, drove to the top of Pikes Peak(14,110 ft), met Skippy Peterson the man that runs the hot brake club(that story has to be told in person), and can finally seriously be called a professional photographer(I have been paid for my work). And I know this is coming from my uncle but he said I am one of the best photographers he's ever had work for him. And seriously, my rolls of film took less time to process than the guys that had worked for them 5 years and I sold more, so I AM gonna take that compliment at face value thankyou very much because my Uncle is the kind of man that has no problem telling you to your face when you are doing something wrong.
Ok, so this has gotten long, but I just wanted to check in, say hi to everyone, and let you know I hope you are enjoying your summers as much as I am. Summer is so much mre fun than school. You actually get to live in the summer.
Megs
Oh, my God! You mean you DIDN'T catch the post yesterday right after you posted something to her where she said something to you about "Indy, stop imping"? Now THAT was priceless.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh yeah, I saw that and couldn't tell if she was talking to me, or not paying attention to the author, or is just plain nuts. I don't think I need to tell you which one I decided on<G>
Megs
I'm gonna miss you guys <cryin>
Now, Indy. You can't fool US. We know an IMP when we see one, even if EpicaCre8 can't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
lol, is that the going theory? That I'm Indy? I really am gonna miss you guys<G>
Megs
I'm gonna miss you guys <cryin>
It's so sad. Just yesterday you were all out in the back yard playing cowgirls and indians, and now your all grown up <sniff> and going off to Clown school. I thought you would never leave me!<wimper> Oh well, It's time that I accept that you just grow up and have to go away. You will come and visit me at the home every once in a while won't you? I would like to see the gran-kitties
Wait....... that was the wrong goodbye wasn't it?
Megs
There just seems to be this abnormal quiet
It's everywhere Cap and I've seen it before. Everything will pick up in the summer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Too bad I will miss out on it. Hey neuro why for you never come by PI boad anymore. Even if you doo it's sparse
Megs
You said you liked switching sides out of the clear blue for the fun of it. That's all.
However, it is now clear that wasn't really your intention. You weren't aruging something you didn't believe for the sake of a good debate. You were arguing what you DO believe.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Actually when I first replied to it on the other board, I didn't have a side at all, because like I said I don't care. But I didn't notice a side not being represented thus I took it up. After thinking it up I landed on that side. I do enjoy playing devil's advocate, but I do nott enjoy making the same argument over and over switching aroound the wording. That's what happens on the other board alot, and as soon as I feel I have made all my points on the subject I consider (at least my side) to be done.
Megs
The subject ain't THAT important you know.
Then why did you choose to pursue it?
Meme
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I made my points Meme. I don't like when the other side isn't given, even when it's about some woman we will never meet and the idea that she might be pretending she was another person. I really don't think she is, I have listed reasons why, and I realy don't think it matters that much anyway. Who cares if she IS doing it? I didn't do this as an offensive to you or something. Geez
Megs
Try addressing each point I made.
Meme
~~~~~~~~~~~
Why? I already have in previous posts. I really don't care that much. I know you aren't going to change your mind. And I won't change mine. The subject ain't THAT important you know.
Megs
Meg and sticky keys
Yikes, what an image! LOL
~~~~~~~~~~
Actually my keyboard is just old, and sif you hit it twice sometime only one letter registers. Besides the fact that I make the same kind of mistakes proves that my theory IS possible. Also, Strat was not ALWAYS posting from work and your search did not take into account when he was at home and when at work.
Thus there is just as much proof for your side as my side, thus I would win because I have reasonable doubt! <VEG> But yyou have reasonable proof so it's anybody's choice
Megs
Well, then, you've been presented with one [challenge]...present a counter-point to my counter-point, young lady.
Meme
~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK with sticky keys it is rather easy for them to ad or subtract letters. As for the A's, I still sometimes do that when I am quick to get out a thought before loosing it and revert to phonetical spelling without even thinking about it.
Also, you only found 6 mispelled words. Do you think those are the only words they ever mispelled? By doing the search the way you did it it only adds to faults. It didn't find the times they spelled the word right, or any of the other words they mispelled that the other didn't.
Megs
Meg, what's the deal?
Honestly, you can't be so dumb as to believe a sticky keyboard would produce an "a" instead of an "e" (her most consistent problem) or only one "n" instead of two. If that were the case, everything would be misspelled, not the same exact words over and over.
Why are you playing devil's advocate for her...hmmm?
Meme
~~~~~~~~~~~
I've always done that. I guess I have never been able to stand another point of view being given. In high school I would even confuse the teacher when we had debates because I would argue avidly for one side, get the clas to agree, then say "but then you know..."
I guess I just like the challenge<G>
Megs
Meg, No that was for Me!
I wonder if Matt has been overwhelmed with the many folks trying to sign up! >g<
~~~~~~~~~~~
LOL, yeah here comes that influx of people now, AH! it' slike a flood!
Megs
OH DEAR! I'VE BEEN EXPOSED!
Now everyone will know the real me..as I have been posing as a sweet little thing over at PI. Oh whatever shall I do??
~~~~~~~~~~~
was that for me? Cause I don't pose, I have this weird thing for honesty
Megs
Here's a dare for you Jeanie
Actually swallow your pride and talk to the board monitor. In his own words he merely put you in jail so he could get a chance to talk to you and introduce you to the site. Then maybe you could actually try standing up for yourself, instead of whining and trying to hit a cord in us over at the other board. New people come on here all the time, it's not like we are all gonna break down and cry because you posted our precious link, lol
Megs
LOL, It's like one of those inflated clowns that pop right back up when you push them.
It doesn't matter what you say to her, she will respond to anything. That's a pretty fun form of entertainment, and Jade, I loved you post where you couldn't breath, I completely sympathize :) I am in a bitchy mood today, but that's what happens when you are up all night. Anyone else feel like fighting :) Maybe it's time for some more ABP

I got Tulips!!!!!!!!
2 years 4 months and 22 days and he FINALLY got me some freakin
Tulips. They are my favorite flower, and the 1st year I just left it to subtle hints that I like them to no avail. The second year, I outright said I really want some tulips, they are my favorite. After the 2 year mark I decided to just plain say, over 2 years you can't buy some flowers?! Now mind you when I brought it up he would offer to go get some, to which I would say would just ruin it. Getting someone their favorite flowers is a surprise kind of thing. And also even his friends started to bug him. "2 years man, they aren't that expensive of flowers"
I had pretty much given up
Anyways, today~a very unspecial day~ I go down to the lobby to meet him, give him ahug, and when I step back, there are tulips! YA! It was perfect. I just had to share my joy. Guys it's the simple unexpected things that will get you far :)

I Want a T-Shirt with SHARON!! On it.
And on the back it would say.
Sharon Solves the Mysteries of the Universe!
Sharon! I can't find the fucking cat!
Sharon! Where's the fucking itinerary!
Jack! I can't work the fucking remote!
(Even Sharon can't be there all the fucking time!)
I got to find the Black Sabbath website!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh my gosh I so want one of those too~!
Megs
You're right, though about the entertainment value. Of course, you may find it more amusing than others since she never really went after you.
BTW,I agree with you about the overcast conditions. All professional photographers know the best weather for outdoor photos is overcast.
Meme
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh she hated me at some point, then when everyone got pissed at her when she came over here, she tried to warm up to me. Like I said pure entertainment.
Megs
Y'all as dumbfounded as me?
Meme
~~~~~~~~~~~
Actually, I am finding it rather entertaining. Yes obviously ythe woman needs help. I wonder how she has that much time to post with 2 young children running around the house. And as a photographer myself, bad weather is no reason to discourage yourself from taking pics. It's more fun actually because with all the overcast, it makes similar lighting conditions to a studio. Great time to take pics.
Megs
Though I feel I'm missing out on some in-joke. I'm having a hard time keeping up w/this soap opera . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
basically the joke is, that cre8/luna/Ditz had her husband come on the main board last night, and he acted like he didn't know her. BUt I forget who figured out who he was, because he posted on her once and left his email which was the same nic name as the one on the other board. (I hate being left out of a joke, so I just had to tell ya :)
Megs
The place dies a quick death
One day all abuzz with posts, the next day, NOTHIN. Maybe my computer is broke but no one's posted for days. I guess everyone has been sucked into that circular argument at the main board. I don't see how you guyscan fight on the same topic for song long. I mean, after a while, I feel like I have stated every aspect of my opinion and am just having to repeat it for people that weren't there before.
Megs
My font size
is still the same. NOthing has changed on the board on my screen

Hey Weac!
Oh, OI mean Wolfy, I mean are you going to change your name here as well?

Gather/Hunt
As far as I understood it, Men ussually did HAVE to hunt together to bring down bigger animals. Whereas women could gather alone with their kids if they wanted.
I still don't buy into most this crud though. It doesn't seem to all match up. Why can't we just say that men and womens brains work differently, rather than hunt/gather, we turned into this stuff. We are just different.
Megs
Sassy/Hey Megs - did you start this
Not quite sure, I haven't seen any of the movies nominated. I think it is about parental conflict with their teenage son. He allegedly has an affair with Marissa Tomei, who is quite older than him. that is all I can tell you.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Sounds kinda like "Life as a House" which wasn't too bad of a movie. I am not to excited about any of the performances listed. Of course I haven't seen them all, but oh well. Maybe Penn will get it. The Academy seems to have a great appreciation for those playing the mentally ill. I wonder if that tells us anything about the intelligence of Hollywood <G>
