What's going on in everyone's lives?

[Blue-Jay]

And who do I need to PM to get the good gossip?

[LeftyFingerPop]

1. I'm busy changing the world for the better.

And you?

[Blue-Jay]

2. I'm engaging in "slacktivism".

[Midlodemocrat]

3. Lessee. Just returned from the Dollar Tree.

Had to get some more unk-jay for TM for school. She leaves Wednesday. :cry:

Took BoyMidlo driving and we stopped for a nice lunch.

Have some ribs in the oven slow boiling in beer, then they're going on the grill.

That's about it. And you?

[sniffa]

4. But Gladys was right!

[Blue-Jay]

11. Gladys saw you taking a piss.

She was horrified!

[sniffa]

16. True, but no one believed her

[Blue-Jay]

20. She has DNA proof!

(unless that DNA came from another activity...)

[flvegan]

5. Stocked up on beer and dog food today as Fay approaches.

My priorities are at least in order.

[graywarrior]

7. I'll be thinking of you.

Hope it stays as a TS. Unusual track it's following.

[johnnie]

6. Waiting to see if I am going to get the job at NASA

Gonna make some buffalo wings later and siting around bouncing back and forth between playing guitar and piano. Typical Saturday.

[LaurenG]

43. Wow was that last interview the NASA job?

I hope you get it too!

[PeaceNikki]

8. I've got a touch of the stomach flu.

And I've vacuumed.

[MilesColtrane]

9. quiet desperation

[Forkboy]

10. Waiting patiently for what will hopefully be the final treatment for cancer.

Whatever is left is about to be zapped into oblivion. :)

[auntAgonist]

12. here's to a complete recovery ..

cancer be gone!!!!!



best wishes Forkboy.

:toast:

aA

[Forkboy]

15. Thank you.

It's been more annoying than anything. But there's only a little bit left and the next treatment should be a piece of cake, just a couple injections of thyroid hormone and a little radiation (very little, just a pill of a few RADS...a lot easier than last year was). Hopefully, that'll do it.

My mother survived breast cancer, and she went through the works, chemo and everything. So compared to her I've had it easy. I can't complain. But I'll be glad when it's done and gone.

Thanks for the kind wishes. :)

[PeaceNikki]

25. Kindly wishing you a full recovery...

:)

[Forkboy]

27. And I'm kindly thanking you for kindly wishing me well.

:)

[TK421]

14. I didn't know....best wishes to you, I'm sure it will be fine

:thumbsup:

[Forkboy]

24. I think it'll be fine too.

If the first 40 years of my life didn't kill me the cancer doesn't stand a chance. :D

Thanks!

[Blue-Jay]

18. I don't pray or "send vibes", but

I sincerely hope that you have a successful recovery, and live a long and happy life.

[Forkboy]

23. I don't do prayers or vibes either.

So I can appreciate where you're coming from.

Thanks for the kind wishes. :)

[Blue-Jay]

37. I'm glad you understand.

Get well soon. I'm rooting for you.

[TZ]

19. I hope its your last treatment

Good luck. It seems like you've been dealing with this for awhile. Here's to a clean bill of health.:hug:

[Forkboy]

22. I have been, but it's such a slow growing cancer that I don't think they were in much of a rush.

It's been almost two years since the original diagnosis. But supposedly this last treatment will take care of whatever is left. I'm not really that worried, I just want it over because I hate dealing with doctors and appointments and things like that. That stuff just gets on my nerves. I hate having to be anywhere. :)

[terrya]

21. My best wishes for a speedy recovery.

And here's to a long and happy life. :-)

[Forkboy]

26. Thank you kindly.

:)

[Guava Jelly]

30. Good

And I really hope it is the last one. :)
I'm glad that you are kicking it's ass. :bounce:
I know whatshername is happy too. :D

[Forkboy]

35. "whatshername"

LOL...I'm tellin' :P

[Guava Jelly]

40. Don't do that

She's mean...And I don't think i could take her. :yoiks:

[Forkboy]

42. You're half right.

You couldn't take her. :P

Of course, neither could I.....

[Guava Jelly]

44. The mean part was quite a bit off.

:P She is hands down the nicest person I know.
Even though she forgets that she owns a computer. :D

[crim son]

50. Wishing you freedom from the cancer

and freedom in general. :hug:

[Forkboy]

53. Thank you for both wishes.

:)

[terrya]

13. Well, I'm having a pretty good weekend.

But I'm sure I'll have a really good time next Saturday. :-)

[TZ]

17. I've spent the majority of the day sleeping

I injected accidently a larger dose than normal on Thursday of my meds and am paying for it today. x(

Did I mention I miss having a normal life?

[lizerdbits]

28. Updating resume

The martyr just quit giving me hope but 2 from what I call the 'hello kitty gossip club' are going to help out our group. If it becomes permanent I'm going to have to go elsewhere and work with grown ups.

[TZ]

29. Oh man

I was hoping things were getting better for you. You could look at my companies website...I could use the extra money ya know....;) :hug:

[lizerdbits]

32. We'll see how it goes

But the two helping spend a lot of time standing behind my cube and gossiping with the rest of the hello kitty club about half of the building, so I'm not seeing this turning out well.

[TZ]

36. Okay I gotta know

"Hello Kitty Club"?:D

[lizerdbits]

39. A group of 4

who spend tons of time gossiping and complaining about most other employees that reminds me of middle school or whatever age where that hello kitty stuff is popular. They had another coworker in their group that they harassed until she quit because she wasn't into the hello kitty mindset. The only other person in my group right now is emotionally 14 so I'm probably going to wind up leaving. I was so hopeful since martyr left and I got away from the stuff my crazy boss is running and then Friday I find this out. :(

[Occam Bandage]

31. Demolishing my bathroom. Considering buying a parakeet.

The two are unrelated, of course.

[madeline_con]

64. But you have lots of time to think about birds as you work. n/t

34. Grovelbot shows, not tells.

[goodgd_yall]

38. I'm going to put up some new shades

but I'm spending time on DU to get myself prepared.

[Guava Jelly]

41. Right now I am almost off to B-day Party

It will include 100+ people, karaoke,a balloon animal guy,and Guinness and Harp on tap!! :woohoo:

[Fran Kubelik]

45. I'm off to go running

Or maybe walking.

[Blue-Jay]

46. I try to do a run-walk with the dog every day.

Thankfully she gets tired before I do, the lazy bitch.

[yellowdogintexas]

47. getting ready to mow my back yard. Did the front yesterday. We had rain

so I couldn't do my mowing early yesterday as I had originally planned. So glad for the rain I don't really care.

Went out door knocking for our State Leg Rep, up for re election, then hit Macy's for some Tax Holiday shopping (made out like a Bandit)

had a visit with my neighbor who is going to feed my kitties while I visit my daughter next week.

Now I am hanging out here for a bit.

Later, doing laundry, grilling something for supper and watching some Olympics.

[Blue-Jay]

56. Doing lawn-work tomorrow.

The grass looks OK as long as I keep it short, but I need to make some garden-room for the late-blooming plants. I hate gardening, but I love the results.

[greymattermom]

48. Scotland

I'm going to Scotland tomorrow to speak at IASP, a pain conference, and go see Nessie. Seashell Eyes is working on books 3 and 4 and painting a big fiberglass BUZZ (something to do with Georgia Tech). My youngest daughter has applied to swing semester to work for the Obama campaign in Cincinnati. Hope she gets accepted! She's a dual US/Canada citizen and could bring the campaign an interesting perspective.

[Blue-Jay]

49. Are you going anywhere near Dunblane?

If so, ask for Margaret Ferguson, and send her my love. I haven't seen Great Aunt Maggie in nearly 15 years.

[greymattermom]

62. Glasgow

and some bus trips to Lochs.

[crim son]

51. Enduring a thunderstorm; fasting,

meditating, DUing and otherwise watching life pass me by.

[RainDog]

52. Was one of four finalists for a job. Went there for an interview

but didn't get the job. Sending out more resumes.

I'm gonna put some books up here for sale b/c I am running out of funds. So, tell all your friends to buy a book or two! Good stuff, good prices. (does that sounds "sellsy" enough?

oh, and I'm landscaping. I just killed grass in my driveway with clove oil spray - it's safe for pets, people, groundwater. It works. But I think I breathed in too much of it because I've felt weird sick going on two days.

I am working occasionally for my old boss, like I did today, and will run her place when she goes to Wyoming next week.

my life is totally boring, in other words.

[Blue-Jay]

54. I'm hip.

I just crafted the best cover letter EVER, only to find out that the position had been filled.

What a kick in the balls that was.

[RainDog]

57. it was encouraging anyway

because it was a great place and I had made to it the final four (sounds like basketball?) And they paid me to go there and paid for me to stay in a hotel and paid for three meals at good places. Of course, the whole time I was at those dinners/lunches/brunches I was being interviewed by various ppl so it wasn't all, you know, fun and games.

you're looking too?

I have one option left (to go into biz for myself) if I can't find a job soon. I'd be doing the same thing, basically, but in a biz environment instead of academic one.

[Blue-Jay]

58. I think I might go back to "turning a wrench" soon.

I'm not very happy about that, but a rabbit's gotta do what a rabbit's gotta do.

[TZ]

55. That sucks

Seems like these people don't know a good candidate when they interview one...:hug:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

59. lately...

a whole lotta this childcare providing for my grandsons







and as much of this that I can get done in my spare time....I still have tons of back round stone to remove before I can begin to carve her...I should finish carving her by 2010

[La Lioness Priyanka]

60. lets see,, making dinner.,, cleaning house

dreading the start of semester

job still sucks donkey balls

[femmocrat]

61. Getting ready to go back to school on Tuesday.....

:cry:

When school was out in June, I threw everything in a big heap. The heap is still there, untouched. So I have to sort through my school stuff and get some other things ready. Dig out my laptop, etc..... And I bought some school supplies at Office Max today.

Oh well... I can't :hide: . . . Tuesday will be here whether I like it or not.

[Fran Kubelik]

63. We just watched Vantage Point and are now watching the marathon

We had a salad from Whole Foods after our run/walk.

It's my grandfather's 86th birthday today. He has Alzheimer's but is doing pretty well so far.
