Night Owls #2

[Curious]

had a request that we start a new thread, since the other one has gotten a bit long. we have soe very loyal lurkers. :D

it's a nice fall morning here. actually in the low 60's. grandmonkey and i are going to deocrate the yard for halloween today. if we get it done, i'll post a picture.

hoot hoot :p

[artist]

Hi Curious, thought I'd drop in and say hiyaa!!

Hope you get the yard sorted; wow, halloween already, seems like the summer just shot past. It's the end of a long day here in Hong Kong, temperatures have dropped to 27C - very pleasant, I've just tucked the beagle baby up and am now headed off to bed myself...yaaaawn...saw your name and just wanted to come by say hi...zzzzz
all the best :) :)

[Curious]

howdy howdy artist!!! i'm always peeking in at y'all on rsd. gotta say it again...what an awesome group!!:D

so...hoot hoot...where are my sleepless buddies?

my foot is all a funny purple color. mmm...cute huh? :D i think i'll paint my toe nails day glo orange.

lil'monkey is invited to 2 birthday parties this weekend. and 1 so far for next weekend. it's not like when i was young...now gifts are $25 or more. guess she is gonna be my little go-fer for awhile.

ok...somebody come yap with me!! :eek:

[Kamie]

So I am up and awake yet again.

For some reason, my kids became noctournal again.

Please tell me parenting gets easier? Atleast tell me that I will be able to sleep again some time soon. PLEASE!

[Curious]

if i tell you NO...maybe you will pass out. :p

easier...hmm...different maybe. all the ages and stages come with it's perks and pitfalls. my monkeys are from 26 down to grandmonkey being 5. lil'monkey is 12. i get thrown the parenting curveball all the time.

turn those noctounal clocks around as soon as you can. tucker them out!! wake them up early.

i have early riser monkeys. ( well..not bubbamonkey...if he has a day off school, work and sports...he will sleep the day away, which is fine ) it seems like no matter how late they are up...rise and shine beofre the sun and the birds. always between 5:30am nd 6am.

how are thoe cute kiddos doing? feeling better? and you?

[Idealist]

So the monkeys got a new patch of jungle, huh? That's okay, as long as we still get to swing around freely through the trees...:D

Kamie - How are those kids of yours doing? How are YOU doing? I hope you start getting some better sleep. Tonight I'll wave my magic wand and make the sweet little darlin's all sleep soundly for ya. How's that?

Curious - I hope your foot's doin' better. You try to stay off of it for a while now, ya hear? (Yeah...fat chance!) Are ya sleepin' any lately? For me it just seems worse and worse. Today I laid down at 12:30 pm and got back up at five-something. Oh well, guess I shouldn't complain. There could be worse things bothering me...

Oh, and Artist, glad to have ya drop by...:) . Always a pleasure!

Ya'll write back and let me know how you're doing, okay?

All the best...
Idealist

[Curious]

woohoo...i know a night owl that ain't gonna fall asleep anytime soon!

hoot hoot

hehehe..you could have fallen asleep at 3pm...and missed me. :D

[Idealist]

Wouldn't want that to happen! You're such an "interesting" bird, bless your heart...:D

So did she find any cool new ghosts? I thought you were supposed to stay away from that 'bright light', but all she does is constantly points out the way! I like the show, though. And that girl has got the prettiest smile!

So how are ya gettin' along on three legs? Or have you put the crutches back into the closet yet? I think day-glo orange might be a bit much with purple, though. Maybe something a little more subdued, like yellow stripes or something.

[Curious]

i'm gonna do the limp thing tomorrow. i can't hack these crutches. put tennis shoes on nice and tight. i think i rested my foot pretty good today. well...pretty good for me anyhow..;)

on ghost whisperer...she did have an interesting time. the ghost was autistic. she couldn't figure out why the ghost wouldn't talk to her or look at her. there ended up being understanding and compassion. pretty cool. another show for you to watch during re-run season. :D

so whatcha going to do this weekend? how are you feeling? have you eaten much?

pssss....i think i'm going to do polka dot toes. :p

[Idealist]

So how's it going today? Feeling hoppy...;) ? Been playin' any games of basketball this morning? I know...let's have a role-playing game! I'll be Butch Cassidy and you can be the Can'tdance Kid...:D .

Seriously though, how's the ol' foot doin today? I know you aren't going to give it any rest, so I'm not gonna waste my breath telling you that you should. You need to get you a robot-helper. 'Course then you'd have to deal with that whole "we robots are superior to you humans and shall take over the world for your own protection" thing. Or then again, maybe it'd just make ya sit down...;) .

Anyway, I hope you're doin' good, my friend. I know you're a busy woman and an important moderator here now, but don't forget about us 'common folk'.

Take care,
Idealist

[Curious]

:::hops off her thrown::: :p

actuallyyyyyy...the ole foot does feel a bit better. there is a small break. i should have checked voice mail. radioligist called back. he said it is called a meniers break. i'm sure i'm not spelling it correctly. :p it is the same break bubbamonkey had. typically a sports injury. sooooooo...he said 6 weeks in a boot and stay off it!:eek: :eek: :eek:

i think i'll erase the message so nobody here knows about it!! :o :(

[Idealist]

Ha! Ha!...Don't you dare! :p

See? I actually know what I'm talking about sometimes! Ya gotta take care of those footsies, gal...they're what take you places, remember? :rolleyes:

I worry about you sometimes. 'Cause you're too quick to volunteer yourself for everything, too hard-headed to take care of yourself properly, and even when you need someone's help you deny it. That ain't smart, my dear...

You listen to your doctor, even if you won't ever listen to me...;) Be smart.

[Idealist]

Are owls social animals? Do they like to chat? Or are they just nocturnal loners...:rolleyes:

Someimes I feel like a nocturnal loner, so maybe that's it!

[Kamie]

I think I am turning into a night owl Eyore :)

I always post about the kids keeping me up and having too much housework.

I will be much more positive. I promise

[Curious]

:( i get lonley at night.

[Curious]

:p so i start a hoot hoot party and y'all come out to play!!
:D

[Curious]

or i sit here all night and yap to myself.

heck...somebody has to make sure alffe has something to read when she gets up. :D

i took some pics of my flowers today. i'm going to post them.

[Kamie]

We are taking the kids to here: http://www.uncle-bob.com tommorow

I can't wait. :)

[Curious]

:D i bet ya'll will have a blast!
we were supposed to go to the fair. but it's going to rain. :( not sure what a back up plan is going to be.

i have 6 teddy bears to have done by next weekend. i should do those. my monday and tuesday will be shot for sewing. my mom has dr's appointments so i'm driving driving....not something i'm supposed to be doing with my broke ( ugh ) foot. but no choice.

[Curious]

i took this picture of one of my cannas today. it is front of the house.

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/ChynaBirdd/DB0806011.jpg

i'm going to post the other pics on sos.

[~scrabble]

Wow! That's a gorgeous shot, Curious! Beautiful colour! :)

[Idealist]

That's a purty flower, Miss Curious. What did you call it again...cannabis...:D

Sorry I missed ya'll last night...:(

[Idealist]

Hey night owls...is anyone around tonight?

[~scrabble]

Hi, Idealist ........

Are you still around?

[Idealist]

All night-owls celebrate! Today's my little girl's tenth birthday. I don't know whether to be happy for her or cry for me...:o

My last single-digit baby...gone forever. I offered to pay her ten dollars if she'd stay nine for another year, but no dice...

[Alffe]

Happy Birthday young lady! You got a nice Daddy. :)

[Chemar]

(((Idealist)))
I aint a night owl (usually struggle to make it past 11pm and wake with the birds;) ) but I sure do wish your lil one a Happy 10th, and comiserate with your feeling...my oldest just left the teens and turned 20 in Sept and my youngest is headed for 17 in Dec...........waaaaaaaaaah I want my babies back:o

[~scrabble]

Hi Idealist ............ How was your daughter's birthday?

[Curious]

dearrrrrrr jessi....

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/ChynaBirdd/happybirthday.jpg

to you...lalalalaaaa

hope you had a fantastic fabulous day! did your dad make you special mac and cheese? a cake? spoil you rotten like ALL girls should be?:D

pssss...sorry this is late sweety. i didn't get back online last night. so you get to celebrate for 2 days!!!

[Idealist]

Thank you, Curious. That was very nice of you. I'll let Jessi look at it tomorrow, and she'll be thrilled. Things like that really do mean a lot to her. She's such an unusual little girl. If you make her a home-made birthday card and put a hundred dollars in it, she'd more pleased by the card than the money, and that's the honest truth. :)

So how you been? Haven't seen ya around too much lately.

[Idealist]

And Alffe & Chemar, I want to thank both of you for wishing my baby a happy birthday! She was tickled by you both. Alffe, she agreed with you about having a good daddy...boy have I got her fooled...:D

Scrabble - she had a very nice birthday. She had breaded shrimp and mac-n-cheese for dinner, which are two of her favorite foods and what she asked for. She had a home-made chocolate cake with white icing. She got a magician's kit she's been wanting, and enough money from everyone to make King-Tut blush! I offered her anything she wanted if she'd just stay nine for another year, but she said "I'm sorry Daddy, but I can't. But don't worry, I'll always be your little girl and we'll always do special things together!" I don't guess I have to tell ya how that made me feel!

You and I never seem to connect here on the nite-owls forum. Wonder why that is...:rolleyes:

[Curious]

argh...i got bumped off before my last reply posted. stupid aol. :mad:

anyways.....

grandmonkey thinks your jessi is THE jessi from toy story 2. lol. so he asked me to post his picture to her. he picked one of him and his Woody. lol
(oh...grandmonkey does not have red hair...just a wonky picture or a wonkey me who who took it. )

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/ChynaBirdd/DB0806009-1.jpg

[Idealist]

Gosh, Curious...that sure is a cute grandmonkey you got there! You're going to have to chase the girls away with a big ol' stick...:D

[Curious]

he is a doll. takes after his meme. :D

so what are up to tonight? spamming the forums? am i gonna have to follow you around?:cool:

i'm having some hot chocolate. you want some?

[Idealist]

Naaahh...I'm right here. It's just that I never know where the heck YOU'RE gonna be anymore. I'd love that cup of chocolate, by the way...:D

I've been totally out of it the past couple of weeks...something strange that I couldn't understand. I think that whole surgery thing might have kinda pushed me over the edge for a while. But yesterday and today I've finally started feeling normal again. Had me scared, though, I don't mind tellin' ya.

So what do you do all the time that makes you such a stranger anymore? I've missed my buddy...:)

[~scrabble]

Got any more hot chocolate, Curious??

I got mini marshmallows and I'll share 'em!

grandmonkey is one handsome little dude! Love those blue eyes! Looks like he sure likes Woody.

Idealist, I'm glad your daughter had a good birthday celebration and her reply to you was perfect!

[Idealist]

Well, hey, Scrabble! Imaging running into you this late at night...:rolleyes:

Thanks about my daughter. I know that since I'm her daddy people just tend to smile when I go on and on about how special she is...but it's just the plain darn truth!!! I have another daughter who is fourteen, and special in her own way, but the little one? She's gonna break my heart a million times without even meaning to!

[Curious]

is it ok if it's hot chocolate malted ovlatine? hmmm...rich and chocolaty and good for ya! i made you both a big ole mugs!

thank you scrabble. he does have blue blue eyes.

it seems like everytime i log on something comes up. or i remember something i was suposed to do. :o i've been trying to send out emails to family our of state. i feel bad that i haven't been keeping in touch real well. i wish i was that mass family letter at christmas type person ( monkey) but i hate getting those...so i guess i shouldn't send one. lol

i'm glad the funk is lifting idealist. i think dr's should really warn people about that after surgery.

lots of life descions going on around here. fun stuff ya know?

toss me some of those marshmallows scrabble. :p

[~scrabble]

--------->*tossing marshmallows .......

Yum! I like malted chocolate Ovaltine!

My kids brought home their school photos today and there is such a change in my 14 year-old daughter from last fall's photo! (Long blonde hair - which she had me straighten for photo day - and dark blue eyes ... neither of which she got from me.) My 16 year-old son is looking much like he did last year - which is tall and handsome! He has brown hair and brown eyes but both kids have the same smile and you can tell they are siblings.

[~scrabble]

Well I'm getting booted off by my son .........

He was at a soccer practice tonight in the rain, on the gravel field ... and he came home very wet and cold. So now that he's had a warm shower he figures its his turn on here ...

10 pm here ....... we should really all get to bed ... but, I'm gonna have a bath first.

[Idealist]

Hot chocolate that's good for you? You wouldn't try pullin' the wool down over my eyes, now would ya? Sounds too good to be true!

I think the surgery think flipped me overboard mostly on a psychological level. The procedure itself wasn't so bad at all. It's just impossible to overstate how much hope I had built up, and all the while trying to convince myself that I wasn't going to have false hope. That it didn't mean a thing.

[Idealist]

'Bye Scrabble. It was nice runnin' into ya. Wow, only ten? It's after one in the morning where I am!

[~scrabble]

(((Idealist))) ......... good night ........ :)

[Curious]

my monkeys don't really favor each other, but if i get told all the time that they look like me. sistermonkey and lil'monkey are both olive complected and have brown hair. bubbamonkey has light brown hair that blondes in the sun and my green eyes.grandmonkeys mother has his blue eyes and has been coloring her light brown hair red since since she was 12...me thinks it is problably still red, but i don't know. :o

my bubba is soccer dude too. have sweet dreams scrabble.

i'm an hour earlier than you idealist. can you hang with this owl? hoot hoot.

and yeppers...ovaltine...chuck full of vitamins and minerals. mighty tastey too.

[Idealist]

Owls don't hang, do they? I thought that was bat...:rolleyes: But they're night-birds too, though being called and owl somehow sounds a lot better than a bat, don't you think?

I wish I could go to sleep. But chances are I'll be up for quite some time. Sometimes I think I should take up drinking so I can just start up at, say, nine o'clock and pass out by midnight...:D I've tried taking meds, but all they do is make me feel funny. I've always been wary of pills, and after four years of being every doctor's lab-monkey, all I've learned is to distrust them even more. And yet still I have to take them...sigh...

[Curious]

i can't hack the sleep meds. that druggy medicine head feeling desn't go away the next day. i have thought of trying meletonin. for me it is a combo of things. i can't stay in the same position for mor than a few hours. i wake up in pain. another..well..loneliness. but what is absolutley weird..is this is the only time i have to myself. maybe it's just adult company? hehehe...guess you qualify huh idealist?

so are we roosting? hoot hoot

cheers...nah...don't do the booze thing. skinny ole you will end up with a belly and look like an olive on a tooth pick. :p

[Curious]

:eek: i HAVE to stop yapping! look at my number of posts!:eek:

[Idealist]

Well, my choccy never got here, so I had to go fix me a cup of raspberry tea. UPS must be moving slow tonight.

Yeah, I hate being up at night because it's so lonely. But there's a kinda magical quality about it, too. I was always a night person, but before this that meant staying up 'til midnight. And besides, the daytime can be even lonelier for someone like me, with everyone out living life while I sit at home and sigh a lot...:o

I'm gonna beat this thing, though. Since the begininning of the year I have worked harder at that than I've ever worked at anything in my life, and I've had results...but they're just so danged slow!

The reason I like you so much is you always seem to take it all in stride, and manage to turn it into humor of some kind. I'm trying to learn from ya...;)

[Curious]

well..ya know it could be worse...we could be married to us. LMAO:p

[Idealist]

See what I mean? I just never thought of it that way...:p

[Curious]

sorry...couldn't help that one.:o :p :D

you just have to surround yourself with the good stuff. keep the negative in put to as little as possible. if it can't get in..then well..it can't fill you up.

make a point of thinking something good. no matter what the deal is.

lil'monkey had come home from school last week and was real upset about her math teacher. her fave teacher. she said she was soooo mean to the class. so lil'monkey and emailed her. asked her if something was wrong cuz she didn't seem like herself...and lil'monkey was upset that the kids were saying some not so nice stuff about the teacher.

well...the teacher had found out that her husband got transfered and that friday was her last day. :( she was so thankful that we emailed and showed her that somebody cared.

baby steps are good. take it slow. it's a learning process. just take it one day at a time to see what your pain level is going to be with what you are doing. i;m very proud of you!! i know you won't let this beat you!!

[Idealist]

I feel sorry for my wife, having to put up with a problem like me. But at the same time, she could be more comassionate. That's one of the things that made my surgery so hurtful. By the treatment I got at home, you'd have thought I just went and got a manicure. I'm supposed to go back for post-op next week, but I can't drive right now and my wife doesn't want to waste her day off taking me, so I guess I'll have to cancel. I'm sorry, I don't mean to complain, but...grrrrr:mad:

[Curious]

See what I mean? I just never thought of it that way...:p


aren't you glad? LOL

actuuuuallyyyyy me thinks my hubby is going through a mid life crisis. the weirdo...he has gotten all mushy and thinks i'm wonderful. :rolleyes: he must have a long christmas list or something. or with my luck he spent a fortune buying himself something and is buttering me up.

i'm a smart cookie....he can't schmooooze me. :p

[Idealist]

We're lucky to have the little ones. It's a shame they have to grow up, though, isn't it? My little girl is the sunshine of my life...(I know...there he goes again!...:rolleyes: )

My mom helps however she can. And my best friend has been my best friend for something like twenty-three years, and he never doubts me. So he's one of my happy-thoughts! :)

[Curious]

nope nope...no cancel. figure it out. make some calls. you have friends. i bet one wouldn't mind at all to go for lunch and drive you. heck...call a cab.

it makes people feel GOOD to know they can be a friend. let them. pay it forward. it will be your turn soon.

ummm...what's for dinner tomorrow? :p

[Idealist]

Awww...sure he can! Anyone can be buttered up! It's after the bread is gone that the trouble starts. You're lucky your husband's being so nice to you. Enjoy it!

[Curious]

heheeh...i'm the baby of the famliy. my dad and i are real close. when he got really sick from some pd meds...he didn't care that he told my sisters i was his fave. :o we just have always had a different connection than they did.

all kids have their places in our hearts. but some kids shine to others.

we have a member that is turning 103. she absolutly loves lil'monkey. she says that she is truely one of god's angels. lil'monkey will talk and talk with her. it's pretty cool. not many 12 year olds will do that.

oh...and after 11pm....you are allowed to brag all you want. it's in the guidlines here. ;) :p

[Idealist]

I know...think of something happy, right? Gee, you're smart! You and Alffe are a lot alike. :)

[Curious]

Awww...sure he can! Anyone can be buttered up! It's after the bread is gone that the trouble starts. You're lucky your husband's being so nice to you. Enjoy it!


i wonder if i can get him to buy me a car? :p

i'm sucha snot. when he got home tonight he asked me if i missed him. :rolleyes: i said...huh? you were less than 3 miles from here all day. i waved at you when i picked up lil'monkey. all your laundry is here...take it with you tomorrow and then ask me again. :cool:


oh...bread is fattening...:eek:

[Idealist]

I don't think my dad was ever satisfied with me. He always wanted me to be something I wasn't. He wanted me to be a little him, and I could only be me...:(

[Idealist]

Bread may be fattening, but that's one food I'd hate to give up! I mean the real...fresh...steamy...scrumptuous bread! Not the stuff you buy in a loaf...

[Curious]

I know...think of something happy, right? Gee, you're smart! You and Alffe are a lot alike. :)

:D it's the stinkin' thinkin'.

it can be a hard habit to break. i am sooo working on my mother. omgoodness....all i kept hearing was how it was going to be scary living in an apartment...all the apartment fires. they will have to buy one of those steering wheel locks....buy mace...
:rolleyes: i live in a nice quiet town.


we drove by a house that the yard needed mowing. oh my..what lazy people...my mom says..such a shame they won't take care of their yard. i'm like...mom...who knows why they haven't mowed. maybe they are hurting for money...or there is an illness in the famliy. bubba is going to see if he can help and mow it for them. for free. no biggy. 30 minutes of his time tops.

then when i was driving her home....on the highway a red car zooms past and was darting in traffic. just by chance there were 3 other red cars. mom: oh...those red cars are going to race and kill somebody! :rolleyes:

oi vey...

[Curious]

the butt
:p

that is my favorite piece....hehe...from a fresh loaf....hot with lots of melted butter.

ok...so i cheat and buy the frozen dough sometimes. homemade just takes too much time. hehe...then you can split up the dough and make lots of little loaves with lots of little butts. :D :p

[Curious]

or with peanut butter....all melty...:p

[Curious]

did i ever tell you i spent a summer at my grandfather's in va? it was so beautiful. but boy did i think they sounded funny. lol. i was from california then.

[Idealist]

Ahhh...you're mom is lucky to have a daughter like you. You do so much for her! If she's like a lot of parents, she probably never says thank-you, but you know it's gotta be hard to be in a position where you NEED your child's help. I hope my girls grow up like you...:D

Now my SON, on the other hand, I ain't gonna hold my breath waiting for his help! Really, he's a great kid. But he's so wrapped up in his own head that nothing else exists for him. Just the other day he was complaining 'cause he doesn't have his own car, and I told him "well, think how I feel? I don't have one either." And he said, "Yeah, but dad you're life is OVER, but my is just beginning!"

'Course then he goes and surprises me because when I got home from the hospital after surgery, he sat there and watched me like a hawk for hours just to make sure I didn't do anything to hurt myself...:p

[Curious]

:rolleyes: kids.....if they only knew. so are you gonna tell him that he will get hair in his nose and/or ears? i think you shouldn't. pay back for the life is over comment.

mom is pretty good about the thank you. we have a pretty tight bond after i saved her life last summer. but there are times that i don;t think she eally understand the time factor. it takes me 1 1/2 hours to get to their house. i have stuff to do every day. it really cuts down on my bon bon eating. :rolleyes: :p

[Idealist]

I have a half-sister who lived in Texas for most of her life, but I've never met her. Isn't that terrible? I never even found out about her until I was twenty-five. I've talked to her on the phone some, but really we're just strangers. I think she lives in OK now.

I passed through Texas on my way to Oklahoma for basic training, but heck, I was only there for thirty minutes. But the Cowboys are my favorite football team! Not that I'm a huge football fan these days, but still...

Virginia is a beautiful state. I was born in W.VA. and raised there until I was twelve, but I'd never go back. It was beautiful too, but this is my home now.

[Curious]

lil'monkey has half sister and half brother she has never met. basically that whole side of the family. i hope she meets them someday. so far she says she isn't ready.

since that amazon girl has basketball tryouts early early i had better try and get a few winks. she isn't too athletic, but her height is an assett. she reached up tonight and touched the ceiling in the hallway! :eek:

get some rest if you can. i'll hoot at you tomorrow. :p

[Idealist]

I liked living in Germany when I was in the army. I lived off-base with a friend, and got to know a lot of the local people. I loved the way they live life to the fullest.

[Idealist]

Nite-nite, Curious. Don't let the bed-bats bite...:eek:

[Idealist]

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/ChynaBirdd/groucho.jpg

[Idealist]

There you are. Are you a step in front or a step behind?

You can't stop moving. What do I win if I hit the moving monkey with a dart??? :rolleyes:

Gee, owning THOSE things would be like owning a pair of leopard-spot briefs. Good for a laugh, but who would ever actually put them on? :p

[Curious]

i would.:o

what's wrong with leopard-spot briefs? :p you really need to start having fun again. ;)

oh...you win a monkey who is ticked off...and you know what ticked off monkeys throw...:eek:

i'm stalking you before you get here.

[~scrabble]

Leopard spot briefs ...... well, I dunno .... I might wear 'em for pj bottoms ...

[~scrabble]

Hi Curious ....... does this mean we're gonna have to fight over those briefs??

[Curious]

are they boxer briefs?

( oh...just a hint...don't google leopard underwear :o )

[Idealist]

Ooohhh...that's right! I forgot about you. Would you wear them on your head??? :p

Hey, I'm being out-flanked here...by ONE monkey! Probably the only creature more dangerous than a charging rhino is a maulin' monkey...;)

Hey, Scrabble. I just saw you standin' there! You're as bad a Curious. 'Course, you gals can get away with things that make us guys look down-right goofy!

[~scrabble]

I was picturing boxers .... but now you've got me wondering what you know about Google .........

[~scrabble]

Well you wouldn't catch ME wearing those fake nose glasses with the leopard spot boxers........

[Curious]

and you are how old? and you just figured this out? my poor hubby actually thought i wanted him to wear a pair of sleep boxers i got with curious george on them :rolleyes:

oh...i know scrabble is off googling...i warned her....:p

oh...nice sexy jammies hubby bought me for christmas last year.....
flannels...light blue with snow flakes and snowmen. :eek: he hasn't lived that one down yet. sure made good dusting rags.....:p

[Curious]

Well you wouldn't catch ME wearing those fake nose glasses with the leopard spot boxers........

what if i added a coconut bra?
:p

[~scrabble]

I like the flannel jammies for wearing around the house in the winter.

I remember my mom telling me how she cuts the crotch out of old briefs so she can keep them separate for dusting!

[~scrabble]

Yes, to the coconut bra ...... but still no fake nose glasses, thanks .... :rolleyes:

[~scrabble]

Wait a minute ..... um, well I wouldn't wear the coconut bra if I was going to bed ... to sleep ...

[Idealist]

Oh, I see, Scrabble. It's one or the other, huh? Or is it one and definitely NOT the other...:p

I'm wondering what you're wondering about Curious. How does SHE know so much about that Google search? But I gotta warn ya. No matter how hard you try, you won't ever embarrass her...:cool:

Curious, just how much caffeine have you had today?

[~scrabble]

Today I had a day off from work so I had fun ... :)

I went to the hair stylist for a few high-lights and a trim. My stylist convinced me to purchase some new Pumpkin Rehydrating Shampoo by Sexy Hair.

Then I found a great sale on swimsuits (70% off) so I tried on a bazillion ... and bought 2.

In the afternoon I saw my chiropractor for a craniosacral treatment ... where I was so relaxed that I dozed off for a bit ....

Bought some sushi on my way home and now I'm knitting while watching Men in Trees. (ok, so I'm not knitting while typing ....)

[Curious]

****slurp****

moi? caffiene? coffee?

how many times have i told you to turn off that web cam! :eek:

oh...i like the little 2 piece on page 2 :p

[Curious]

let me know how you like that shampoo. it was reccomended for lil'monkey. she has super thick curly hair. a new garnier is working ok.

i am sooooo jealous....i want a fun day! ok...so an adult fun day. ( minds out of the gutter! ) not my typical playing spiderman...or me wearing hulk hands and grandmonkey wearing his thing feet..both with sound mind you. :rolleyes: but a like a day at the spa.

with my luck the mud mask wouldn't wash off. :p

[Idealist]

Man, ya'll left me a page behind. You notice I said "ya'll", don't ya Curious? ;)

Scrabble, sounds like you've had fun. But honestly, as a guy, I wouldn't have tried on even the two pair...of anything. I'd just buy the first one I saw and hit the door.

Ghost in da machine, Curious...;)

[~scrabble]

Well my stylist used the Pumpkin shampoo on my hair today plus the Pumpkin Leave-in Conditoner and some Sexy Hair styling spray and then hairspray when it was dry ... so I don't know what I think of just the shampoo yet. I have thick, wavy hair and even with a lot of thinning it out I still have lots of thick, wavy hair. I'll let you know what my daughter and I think of the shampoo.

Yes, you should take a day for yourself without the hulk hands and thing feet!

[~scrabble]

Swimsuits are the worst to shop for! No way can I just pick one off the rack and buy it. The ones that look good on a hanger don't work for me and then the unusual looking suits end up being ok. I shopped for a suit while in Thailand and I felt like a blimp because their suits fit so small! I ended up having to buy XL and I was so disappointed!

The leopard print suit from today looked very blah on me ...

[Idealist]

So the "normal" ones look abnormal, but the coconut thingies look okay. :D

My mind ain't got no gutters, Curious. Might keep the water out of my eyes...:rolleyes:

Probably got a cool basement, though...:cool:

Scrabble...you gals lost me with the shopping...the shampoo...it's all GREEK to me...:o

That must have been great going to Thailand, though. I've always been fascinated by that area of the world.

[Idealist]

Okay...so suddenly it got very quiet in here. And, miracle of miracles, I feel myself beginning to fade. I hope it's for real.

Curious, if I TOLD you about my day you wouldn't believe me. You'd think it was all just a Yankee lie...:D

But I gotta go. I'll see both of ya later...:)

[Curious]

forgive me if i don't post for a little bit. my tummy was growlingand i'm breaking a rule...snacking at the computer!:eek: ok...just some celery and carrots....must have been all that swim suit talk. :p this 10lbs is coming off if i have to do self lipo with my dyson!

[Curious]

sleep well...and you had better tell me about your day tomorrow. :cool:

[~scrabble]

I hope you sleep well, Idealist ........

I was posting 'wonders' at another place on NeuroTalk.

... and checking another forum for news of the travellers attending a special wedding. (The Alffes and others arrived and all had a nice meal in a restaurant with the happy couple after their rehearsal today.)

Yes, Thailand was cool. We were there for about 4 months ... when the kids were just little 'uns.

Hmmmm.... I'm hungry too ... and I don't think carrots are gonna work for me!

[Curious]

did i say it would work for me? lol would love to sneak a piece of that pizza in your fridge...:p

but it did give an awesome idea for lunch tomorrow. i just happened to buy yeast today...perfect for making pizza dough.

actually it didn't take much for me to be snack happy. it's about 1am here and we had dinner at 5pm. earlier than i am used to.

my dad was stationed in thailand. i still have a bush hat that he brought home for me..and a silk outfit. i even have a picture of me wearing it. lol.

i would love to travel. not car travel...maybe a in a motor home...but preferable just to fly across the world. last real trip was to cancun. i used to go every year. marraige sure changes that. :p

[~scrabble]

I would love to travel too .....

I would love to own a car ...

I would love to have found more than just one slice of pizza left in the fridge ...

I would love to be at that wedding ...

I would love to be more fit and slim ... (afterall, I have been going to an Adult Hip-Hop class -what a laugh!- and pilates ...)

[Idealist]

I know you would, Scrabble. I can tell by the way ya say it.

Well, the sleep thing didn't work for me tonight. The sun's coming up outside, and I'm still awake. I came so darned close!!! Then a noise brought me out of it and...oh, well, you both know the feeling...:o

I'm okay. Just tired. So I'm just ramblin'. Hopefully, both of you are sleeping deeply right now, what with the time-zones and everything.

I didn't know people even bought yeast anymore. You make pizza-dough from scratch??? You just GOTTA figure out a way to zap some of your home-cookin' to me through the internet, Curious.

I'm so glad to hear that the Alffes are having a good time. I've been wondering. And hoping.

I'd like to travel more, too. I spent almost two years in Germany when I was in the service, and visited Paris and Amsterdam and Ludwig's castles and some other neat stuff. But I was too young then to appreciate it enough. I'm sure it would be a totally different experience now that I'm "mature"...:rolleyes:

Sweet dreams girls...

[Chemar]

Mornin' Night Owls :)

your talk of travel reminded me of how I loved living in London!
..........so cheap to just hop a ferry over to France, rent a car and go anywhere all over Europe I loved travelling around the British Isles as well, and Scotland is quite one of my most favorite places in the whole world, tho france and Italy come a close second!

When I lived in Africa, my favourite travel was to the ginormous game parks in an old VW Kombi camper with one of those opening sunroofs.
We would leave the campsite before dawn and find a river or waterhole and park under a tree and just wait and watch the pageant of wild life come to drink and frolic in the water. Being able to view from the top out the sunroof was needed when the prides of lions arrived;) and took us a little closer to the gorgeous eyes of the giraffes:p
We once spent an entire fascinating morning watching the antics of a family of monkeys (hehehe see why I love ya Curious:D )

In the 16+ years that I have lived in the States, I have tried to travel to as much of this amazing country as possible and especially love going to where the mountains are (I grew up in the mountains around Cape Town,SA and so living here in flat Florida has been quite a readjustment for me!) havent been able to travel too far for a few years now due to my business needing me here almost 24/7.

well, thanks for the travel talk cos it sure brought back some happy memories
:)

[~scrabble]

Idealist, I'm sorry you didn't get much sleep. (Maybe you are sleeping now?)

Bizi has joined me in the chatroom so I'm multi-tasking .... typing this, drinking coffee, eating a bagel with peanut butter, and keeping the chatroom window open in the background to see when bizi is back from getting a coffee too. (bizi is Alffe's daughter)

I loved Scotland too, Chemar. I lived in St. Andrews for a year, quite a few years ago.

Africa sounds amazing! Sounds like a wonderful photo opportunity ... especially being closer to eye-level with giraffes!

cheers,

[Idealist]

Thanks Scrabble. I finally nodded off for a few hours just before noon, but never enough, I'm afraid...:rolleyes: I'm still mighty tired. My three younguns has been talking my head off for the past six hours. Each one has to have their own personal time to talk to me, then it's all together...I love it, but...:o

Chemar, do you write professionally? Because if you don't, you sure ought to give it a thought. That was a beautiful description of Africa, and in such a short amount of space! It made me jealous that I've never seen anything like that. I was born in the mountains, though, so I'm very familiar with them. Like you, it's flat where I live now, about a hundred miles from the Atlantic Coast in VA. The mountains aren't very far away, though, and I can be on Skyline Drive in only two hours whenever I can make it, so...:)

Wonder where that Curious monkey wandered off to now...:eek:

[Idealist]

Ain't no night-owls around tonight. Wonder if they migrate on a bi-nightly basis...:rolleyes:

[~KELLWANTSANSWERS~]

I'm still lurkin around....

[Idealist]

Hi Kell...:)

I ain't used to seeing you up this late. Bad night?

[~KELLWANTSANSWERS~]

I'm usually up on the weekends.Just not during the week.
You have a message...........

[~KELLWANTSANSWERS~]

Wonder if curious knows -i had to go buy choc malt olvaltine and make hot chocolate:p mmmm-mmm-good!
Then on my way to checkout...uuhhuumm
I grabbed a box of brownie mix.....:p

[Idealist]

I just read my message...:)

I don't know where that danged monkey is. I keep trying to hit her with my tranquilizer gun, but I don't know if even THAT would slow her down...:rolleyes:

[~scrabble]

Hi Kell and Idealist

:)

[~scrabble]

Gosh, we are on page 12!

[Curious]

guess i'm not the only yappy one here....page 13 pretty soon. :p

[~KELLWANTSANSWERS~]

Hey, Scrabble
Idealist:)
Wonder where curious is:confused:
I dont usually post in here.I feel like i am in the corner of the room and everyone is starin at me..lol

[Idealist]

There's that Canadian owl. She just migrated south...HI SCRABBLE!!! :)

Now if that Texan owl would just decide to migrate north...but who ever knows about Texan Owl's? They're curious...:rolleyes:

Whatcha doin' tonight, Scrabble. Flyin' yer way outta that infernal trick chatroom?

[Idealist]

Oh...oh...there she is!!! Somebody grab her! QUICK!!!

[~scrabble]

It says there are 7 viewing here now .... and Curious is one of them ...

[Curious]

i was looking at dogs on the internet. some of the local rescues. i think we have it narrowed down to about 5. lol.

:eek: hubby has actually agreed and is all for getting a pet. he has been dead set against it. well....the furry kind. we have had lizards...and still do have about 6 or 7 gecko's in the atrium.

guess he figured a bit of dog fur wouldn't matter with all the monkey fur...:p

:cool: not that he has ever figured out how to vacuum. or sweep ...or mop. anyone want a 4000sq ft house? i'll even leave my dyson. :p

[~scrabble]

Nice to see you here, Kell. I only just started posting in here a few days ago. It's not really that late for me (West Coast) - 10:20 pm - but I guess I can still qualify as a Night Owl.

[Curious]

Hey, Scrabble
Idealist:)
Wonder where curious is:confused:
I dont usually post in here.I feel like i am in the corner of the room and everyone is starin at me..lol

umm...kell...look above you. :p ;) :D

[Idealist]

Ain't no corners in this room, Kell. Buncha ol' Night Owls stumblin' around and bumpin' into each other here and there...:D

[~scrabble]

what's a dyson?

[Curious]

There's that Canadian owl. She just migrated south...HI SCRABBLE!!! :)

Now if that Texan owl would just decide to migrate north...but who ever knows about Texan Owl's? They're curious...:rolleyes:

Whatcha doin' tonight, Scrabble. Flyin' yer way outta that infernal trick chatroom?


am i invisable? :p :eek:

[Curious]

what's a dyson?

that super duper vacuum that needs no bags and never ever loses suctions. i LOVE my dyson.:D

[~KELLWANTSANSWERS~]

I am just wondering,Scrabble-did the coat make it home safely "this time"???
Did everyone have a good saturday?
My son and future dil came over and brought me flowers for sweetest day.
I was told we are the only ones that celebrate this holiday..
Either way-it was nice to get pink roses today!its been a long time...
I dug up my canna's today{finally}...was gonna put down mulch-but thats about when my kids came over.

[Curious]

:eek: DUCT TAPE!!! hurry...i need duct tape!!!!:eek:

[~scrabble]

That's so nice that you are going to adopt a doggie! I've had newts, gerbils and Chinese dwarf hamsters. But not all at once.

I've been working on crocheting my rag rug that I started at a class this afternoon. I guess that makes me a Happy Hooker. ;) (or maybe a ragger?)

[~KELLWANTSANSWERS~]

LOL Scrabble

[~scrabble]

Kell, yes the new rainjacket came home. LOL!

Duct tape? I've got some but first .... I wanna know what it is for?

[~scrabble]

That is so nice that you got roses today! I'm in the habit of buying myself flowers ..... but, that's ok. I did receive a beautiful hanging basket from my son for Mother's Day this year. :)

[Curious]

hehe scrabble..the happy hooker. :D i love to crochet. mymom made the rag rugs for years. i still have 2 she made me. a denim one...which is absolutly the strongest most durable rug i have ever had...and one made from chenille bed spreads. sooo soft.

ok...no duct tape? guess i'll have to use my staple gun....hubby's snoring is the worst..and it's going to drive me batty. :eek:

[~scrabble]

Oh well then, here! -->*tosses a roll of duct tape

[~scrabble]

I bet denim would make a nice rag rug. I just wouldn't want to have to cut the denim into strips first. It was easier to buy a roll of fabric from the instructor. It takes about 4 pounds of fabric to make a rug. I'm also interested in learning how to crochet covers for casserole dishes too.

[Curious]

zzzoooom....page 14 :p


how sweet kell! i didn't even know it was sweetest day. guess hubby didn't either. :cool:

i love my canna's. you saw my pic right? i have them planted inthe front and the back. don't hav to dig them up, since we don't get hard feezes. they just multipy. i thin them out every few years. and steal the pretty different colored ones my neighbor thins out. :p

[~KELLWANTSANSWERS~]

I used to crochet with my mom.We used to make lil christmas pins for coats.She made big afghans and much more.I could only do the chain stich.heehee.
Scrabble so glad the raincoat made it home.Hope the kids had a great day!
Curious-i'll take the dyson-but you can keep the huge house-unless it comes with a maid-i can barely keep up w/my little bungalow..lol
snoring-zzzzzzz
sounds like you need a room just for you and your puter..

[Idealist]

This is like dancing in a strobe-light...everybody moving at different speeds...:p

I got a big house, Curious. If I could afford to, I'd give it away. We have central vac, so the air gets filtered and then blown outside, like a double-trap.

Wait a minute...trap...monkey...wonder if that would work...:D

[Curious]

i crochet afghans, scarves and hats. boy was i happy when they got popular again. :D the baby afghans are simple and fast. i made hubby a big thick double yard one. hehe.....he really is a baby. :p
sure not snoring softly like a baby. sheesh...i can hear him across the hall with 2 door shut between us!
thanks for the duct tape. :p

[~KELLWANTSANSWERS~]

Dont feel bad curious-my hubby forgot too...my son and daughter in law{well soon to be}got them for me.
Canna's..<sigh>they sure do multiply..LOL
I did see the pic of your beautiful canna's:)
Wish i did'nt have to dig mine up.But was afraId i might not have em if i did'nt.
my mom is gonna give me some of her different colors for next year.
Which means more digging..YAY..heehee
Where is Idealist hiding now?
I bet he is munching on cookies or somethin...:rolleyes:

[Curious]

:o i'm the maid kell. that wasn't the bargain when i bought the house....but it worked out that way when i started staying home with grandmonkey.

i wanted a central vac idealist. but no way to put one in. i'm a fanatic about clean floors. so they get done atleast once a day.

:eek: you be catching monkeys in va?

[Curious]

we left him on page 12. :p

[~scrabble]

Even with the duct tape you can still hear him snoring?? :eek:

I like to crochet and knit. I helped my daughter's Pathfinders group learn how to knit so they could make scarves for the homeless. They are still knitting and in the meantime ... I've knit 3 scarves to donate too. Friends and family have given me yarn over the years so it feels good to put it to a good cause.

I like making the cotton dish cloths and now both my daughter and son have started making them too!

[~scrabble]

I'm also chatting now ... come join us there ... :)

[Idealist]

Yeah Curious...you did...:p

I just caught up for a second...puff...puff...

And no...I've been TRYING to catch monkeys in VA. Big difference...:rolleyes:

[Curious]

:p i did.

:D :D

[Idealist]

Buncha danged gals...talking about knitting and cooking and flowers and gutters and coconut bras...we need us some more MALE night owls in here...:cool:

Ready for some football???

[~KELLWANTSANSWERS~]

[~scrabble]

[Idealist]

Do anything fun on the weekends?

[~scrabble]

I hope you do something fun, Kell ........ and then you can report back to us.

:)

[Idealist]

Good for you...:) The other two done went and popped out for a minute. Gave me a chance to catch up...:o

You DO have a life. Just not the perfect one.

How much ya wanna bet they're both goin' to the fridge? :rolleyes:

[Idealist]

Most weekends are okay. THIS one's been a doozie, and I've only slept for three hours since thursday. Hey, wait a minute...that's why I'm movin' so slow tonight! WHEW!!! (wipes sweat off brow)

[~KELLWANTSANSWERS~]

I will GLADLY share my brownies and hot chocolate.I am so stuffed i feel sick:eek:
Its all curious' fault.I came here and read her posts about hot ovaltine and she always has those yummy brownies-so bein the choco lover i am.....
Just could'nt resist.

[~scrabble]

Nah.... I already told you we are in the chat room now with bizi ...

Come join us!!

(I'm trying to keep up with multi-tasking)

:)

[Idealist]

I bet it's that trick chat-room. I'll get lost if I go looking for it.

[~KELLWANTSANSWERS~]

How come your not sleeping?
Trying to get on a new schedule?Been on a cleaning frenzy?

[Curious]

idealist..what color scheme are you using?

and was i supposed to share my cookies and milk? :p

[~scrabble]

Nice Halloween cat, Kell

:)

[Idealist]

The not-sleeping is pretty normal for me. It's just part of the whole pain thing. Sometimes I can't sleep for a few days, and get pretty tired. But then I sleep a lot and catch up. I'm sure you know how these things go...in cycles.

Yesterday was an incredible day for me, but it was too complicated for me to absorb until I get some sleep, let alone tell about it.

How have you been. I could tell you were feeling rough.

[Idealist]

Color-scheme? You have to elaborate on that.

[~scrabble]

Is it shades of blue ?? or more grey?

[Curious]

kell...isn't hot ovaltine yummy? i don't feel guilty drinking it.

the monkeys put it in the blender with ice cream....
ok brb....hehe..snack time! :p

[~scrabble]

I want some !! (Please :) )

[Idealist]

It's mostly blue. I'm on my old computer now because everyone's asleep.

[Idealist]

Curious, you never did tell me why you were asking about Norfolk and Portsmouth the other day.

[Curious]

there are 2 color schemes. you can change it by clicking the tab on the very bottom of the left hand side. it should say "default style" or " chestnut".
if you are on the defaultm you colors of the forum are shades of blue and grey. chestnut are tans to creme/white. on the default...the chat room link is right under the private message link.

ok...i'm taking off my mod hat now. :p

[~scrabble]

With the blue scheme ... you can see who is in the chat rooms by going to the main page (NeuroTalk Communities) and scrolling all the way to the bottom.

To get into the chat rooms, click on "Chat Rooms" at the top right corner of this page (or any page) - it is just beside "Log Out"

[Curious]

that is where i spent my summer...many moons ago. back in my farrah faucet hairdo days...hehe...this california girl was a big hit. :D

[~KELLWANTSANSWERS~]

LOL@snacktime for curious
I used to drink it all the time.Just forgot about it.
It sure is yummy stuff!
Eh-i am hangin in there-taking life one day at a time....today is better than yesterday..i do this all the time-up for a while -then the pain/mental junk kinda takes over and down i go.............
Yeah ,i do understand about the sleep cycles.:(
I sure do hope you can get some zzz's tonight idealist..
I have to take sleep meds-otherwise i doubt i would sleep at all!!!
I think i m addicted to using exclamation marks.......:p

[~scrabble]

ah yes, under Private Messages and to the left of Log Out ........... got that?
LOL :D

[~scrabble]

[~scrabble]

It's just me and Curious in chat now .... bizi has gone to bed

[Idealist]

[~scrabble]

Good night, Kell ......... sleep well! :)

[Idealist]

Goodnight, Kell...sleep tight...

[~scrabble]

I wonder if Idealist was able to figure out what to do with his old computer so he can join us in chat again?

I wonder if Kell had a good sleep?

I wonder how much sleep Curious was able to get?

I wonder why I'm wondering if I'm not on the Wonder Thread?

[Idealist]

I wonder if Scrabble knows it's because she's been hanging around with a monkey...;)

Well...hooraaaayy! I finally got some sleep. Wasn't enough, but a decent start. I actually played a game of Life with my two girls today and was able to keep up fine...although I got my butt kicked but good! My girls felt so sorry for how bad I was losing that they were offering to give me some of THEIR money...:p They don't realize I always win every time I play a game with them...

Hope everyone's good. Well, if not "good" then at least well...;)

[Idealist]

So is it time for "Night Owls 3" yet, or do we wait 'til we run out of paper?

I don't hear no Night Owls a-hootin' out there anyway...:rolleyes:

[Curious]

take your fingers out of your ears silly. :p

hoot hoot

[Idealist]

Hey Curious...:)

I've just been going over the site & sending some e-mails.
