Bwahahahahahaha!
Actually I'd have pegged RZ as Blaine, because of his repeated insistence that he was logical and no-one else was.
I don't quite get it with UG (because outside of politics he is quite personable) but I can see where you're coming from.

Does that also make him Charley the Choo Choo? :)

Oh yes all those things are true, which is why this particular character reminds me of him. :)

Yeah...and also 'little Blaine' too. ;)

Shawnee never chatz.......... And I was so looking forward to Friday night chatz with the Shaw.....Oh well.......:)

Today, one of my classes was watching a portion of the 1968 Romeo and Juliet. Towards the middle of the movie, there is a scene with Romeo and Juliet in bed the morning after their wedding night. Because of school rules, we had to do our best to censor the nudity. Romeo's butt was covered by a piece of paper over the projector, as were Juliet's breasts.
My cooperating teacher thought the nudity was over and started to walk away. Juliet made a sudden move and her breasts flashed the screen for maybe a nanosecond.
Suddenly, I had a room full of adolescent boys screaming and whooping, including a young gentleman who chose to yell "I SAW THEM TITTIES!" over and over again at the top of his lungs.

I remember that scene well. My high school English teacher had some old video tape player that was like a reel to reel machine, with the tape on spools. I'd never seen one before and haven't seen one since. Anyway, she was trying to fast forward past the nudity, and was having a difficult time with this antiquated machine, and twice it paused on Juliet's boobs while the teacher frantically tried to get it playing again.

When I censored it for the next two classes, I knew to cover the Juliet quick-flash at the end, having learned from my cooperating teacher's mistake. I imagine many high school English teachers have a similar horror story.

This is only sort of related, but the boy Chocolatl spoke of reminded me of this story:

In Jr Hi literature our assignment was to read a kid's book to the class, as if we were reading to a group of kids.

I had a cool book, due to having a much younger brother.

This one guy apparently either didn't have much choice or just grabbed one. It was about some old lady counting her blessings even when things got rough. Once when the author was relating the blessings, the line went "...and she had her cock to wake her up in the morn."

I kid you not. The boys in my class almost blew snot out their nose trying not to laugh, and Mrs S was not happy with them. Even I was thinking "Come on Mrs S...that's pretty darn funny."

I think you got a sword in your zenarch.. your'e duping.

As one at the center of the wheel, I shall emote (with images) when and where appropriate. This thread was karmicly incomplete without it.

[OOC: nice ta meet'cha cap'nhowdy :juggle: ]

[OOC:] reminds me of my old rping days *smiles*

Where the devil is my stiff blue hat and ticket punch...?

What the hell kinda shit is this? What the hell is the world coming to, when an honest man o' the cloth has to prove he isn't a fucking robot?

And what the hell kind of world spawns assnuggets that run around writing bots, anyway? Fuck. People like that should have their kidneys removed.

UNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

Welcome to the Cellar, TGRR.

cellar calendars now available:


http://www.zazzle.com/cellar_calenda...98498585698331

Do I win a prize for being the most featured Dwellar in the calendar?
Or am I just a whore :(

Oh, no - wait.
Wolf told me it's okay if you don't get paid for it.

Yay!

I received an Evite from a childhood friend whom I haven't seen in many years. Well, truth be told, the last time I saw her was about 9 years ago, but we last emailed, oh, maybe 5 years ago. She and her siblings all happen to be in town on this one weekend so they're having a big BBQ at her parents' house.

The picture at the top of the invitation is her with these funny glasses, a little party blower... and a beard. A real one. Guess she decided to switch from lesbian to full-on transsexual at some point, and figured this was the easiest way to tell all her old friends at once. Which is fine in the grand scheme of things, of course--except that now I feel like if I tell her I can't make it, she's going to think it's because of awkwardness rather than the fact that I've really got a lot of shit to do these days. Meh.

Just send her a razor with your regrets.

Send her a letter/ email about what you are doing and how things are with you.
That way she'll see you aren't snubbing her, and also might understand why you are genuinely busy.
Although do include the line - "I see you have a beard now! Is that the fashion where you live? Goodness, remember when you used to see Bearded Ladies only in freakshows?"

Anyway I came here to moan.
I'm thinking too much about my weight and being on a diet.
It really doesn't help.
I'm thinking about lunch two seconds after I finish breakfast, and yet I have not even changed what I eat for breakfast as it was always healthy. It's not hunger, not at all. The biggest change I have made is not drinking. My diet was really not that bad apart from the 2000 calories per day alcohol. So why the constant stressing about food now?

I'd like to switch off that part of my brain. It's rarely useful, doesn't stop me getting into trouble for example. It just plagues me to death about things I can't change, or will take time, or which shouldn't be over-thought anyway (relationships for example).

Maybe ECT would help?

You'll forget about a lot more things than booze if you have ECT mate. ;)

Why don't you think about a new hobby or something to keep your mind occupied...or just spend more time on the cellar. :)

I think it's because you're thinking about it more. Think about the calories you're not getting from alcohol...that's something. I think when we decide to make a lifestyle change, when it comes to consumables, it seems that it looms before us like an insurmountable mountain.

Remember that it takes time and small steps. I try to remember that too.

You're doing great.

Wise words.
I hadn't actually thought about the fact that I have a lot more time on my hands now, being completely sober every afternoon and night.

That of course gives me time to think and the biggest change is my weight - so that becomes an obsession.

Now I just need to find something else to do!
I might go out and take some more photos today. Exercise and fresh air and gives me something to do when I get back and all that good stuff.

Thursday (when I have some money) I'm going to walk down to the big supermarket (about 2 miles) and walk round there for an hour or so. Of course I'll call my Dad to give me a lift home - too many bags otherwise! But I'm thinking of buying a shopping trolley, so I'll be able to go and get my own stuff from now on.

Saturday I'm going to Bicester on the bus - the slow village service that goes round all the villages I used to live near (and the one I lived in of course). It takes about 1.5 hours, but it's in the countryside I love and missed while I was away. So Saturday is sewn up anyway!

Tomorrow I go to the Job Centre. Wednesday I might dye my hair.

Mum is trying to push me into a volunteer job.
I do want to do one of course. But it's really early days in things like my healthy living plan and also giving up alcohol. My doctor signed me off for six weeks and told me that my main focus should be on myself and working through any current issues before making future plans.

I was happy at the idea of volunteering at one of the local animal shelters, but there are no vacancies on the animal husbandry side at anywhere I can get to. Their main need is for people to foster and/or drivers to collect and drop animals off. I can't do either. I just don't know if I'm ready to go back into facing the public again. Frankly the thought of doing it makes my throat tighten up.

I'll have a look round town today, see what I think. And maybe check the internet this afternoon for volunteering vacancies in the local area, see if somethign sparks my interest.

SG - What you have now given yourself is time. Instead of filling the gaps in your life with alcohol or whatever else. You now have time. The issue is what to do with it. Find something healthy that you enjoy and do it! A lot of it. If its productive - so much the better, but just keeping active & sober is productive in itself. Good luck!

I was curious about a Dagoba (nerd!alert!) lavender-and-blueberry chocolate bar.

I regret it.

Better to know though, right?

I had A Good Day yesterday.
20 mins on the exercise bike.
Then walked into town (a mile) to see my Disability Counsellor, who believes I am making great progress and was very complimentary. Then agreed to volunteer in the book section of the British Heart Foundation shop one day a week. Also got details about a part time job I have now applied for. Went into my bank and sorted out something that I should have sorted out months ago. Walked home.

I feel positively positive this morning.

Well done SG! Keep up the good work.

Have you tried about 2-3000 mgs a day of vitamin D SG?

A good source of Vitamin D is the sunshine. Really.

Remember where I live Capn ;)

Bad news is that the practice called this morning and cancelled my Monday appointment. It's been rescheduled until next Monday. Ah well - I mustn't put too much importance on this - they might not offer me the drug and anyway the bottom line is always going to be what I put in my own mouth.

Not sure where to put this, so "Be post whore" thread it is.

I just learned yesterday from SPIN magazine that Rashida Jones, who plays Karen in the US version of The Office, is the daughter of Quincy Jones.

I don't spend a lot of time following pop culture, but I'm surprised I hadn't heard of that before now. I never would have guessed it, but you can see the similarity.

We started getting SPIN sent to us accidentally around a month ago. Some guy is using his frequent flyer miles to order magazines, I think, but they have the wrong address for him. It's happened a couple times before. In the past we have called to cancel them, but I think we'll keep the free SPIN subscription. He can cancel if he wants.

daughter of Quincy Jones? so that means Peggy Lipton is her mother, right?

Yes. You are more informed than I was.

In the little interview, she said that one of the times her dad took her to Neverland to visit Michael Jackson when she was a kid, Bubbles the chimp bit her on the hand.

So............How pathetic am I? Go! You have 2 seconds.

Done.

NOT.

With time to spare.

Hey, I just back from the bathroom. :lol:

LOL! Find anything good?

No, but I lost a few minutes of time, bringing me closer to getting the frak out of here! ;)

It's been a tough week. :( I'm stopping at the grocery so I don't have to do a darn thing tomorrow if I don't want to. Last saturday was a special kind of horror.

Ms. Jones' bio on WikiP is very interesting. Graduated from Harvard, etc. Quite an accomplished young lady.

"Special"

I have really hard bogeys today.

Here SG a bit of info.

My hair hurts and my teeth itch this morning.

But the band was great.

I went to bed early and slept in late, and got some much needed sleep. [/oldlady]

I'm going through withdrawals as I have been temporarily taken off Cymbalta by my doctor. Holy Moly this sucks. Once I am clean, I won't take that crap again. Ugg!

Good news / Bad news post:
The cat is still sniffling, but is breathing better and is much happier.
The dog goes into the vet this morning because he seems to have a back problem. He wakes up yelping in pain [very unnerving!] or stops to scream when walking. Being a phlegmatic and forgiving old boy, he'll just drop back off to sleep or continue moving in a few seconds. I, however, am:eek: :unsure:

Good luck with the dog Sweet.

I trimmed my bush today.
And cleared the undergrowth.
Spring is coming!

Shouldn't that be in the NSFW thread, SG?

Meh. That's for pictures.
If anyone thinks I have been doing anything other than gardening, they know enough that I won't be corrupting them.

Damn, Sundae... no pics?

thinking positive thoughts for your hound dog sweet.

There are too many serious threads in the cellar RFN.

Or rather, there are too few amusing threads.

I know, this is partly my own fault. I haven't started a thread in ages.

Does your dog eat bones or other random stuff that he shouldn't eat? Maybe something's stuck in his guts.

I hope he's ok though. It sounds very distressing for both of you.

I just realized I know these guys from an old small forum. lol.

Looks like a stage play of Eastwood's "In the Line of Fire".

The dogs are house pets (Cavalier King Charles spaniels) but do get bones, per vet's orders. His back pain is from leaping and falling some time before we got him. Owner used to take him a chiropractor but one does not find canine chiropractors in a small town in Texas. His X-rays were clean and a mild pain med is helping a lot. I'll continue to exercise him to strengthen his muscles, and use massage, pressure, and calming grooming methods to relax him afterward. I wish someone would do the same for me! :)

We just got a Wii Fit. I know it's nice to be nice and all, but he beat my score in one of the events and just as soon as I get this last room swept and dusted I'm going to turn the Wii on and knock him out of the #1 position. But it's all in good sport, no really, I'm not competitive in that way, it just happened when I was, you know, getting fit.:p
