No offense anyone, but what is the fascination of playing computer games?

Tennis, anyone? :D

The Wallpaper: yes, I like that suggestion, of either taking down the walls, hahaha, or hiring someone.

It would not be so ridiculous had it not been textured, painted, and in some places stuccoed....and there are three different types of wallpaper in the same room meant to all look alike: like a blue sky with white clouds. BLEH! Arrrrr...it will get down, or it will be the death of me. :P

The New Home Potential: perhaps, maybe, there could be a possibility of an excitable molecule in my sweetie's body. I have yet to find it except...ahem.

So I am jumping up and down, draggin him by the wrist to see what I found on Craigslist and that I spoke with the landlord and he sounds so cool, etc etc. look at the photos....and he starts with blah blah blah...nothing that is exuding enthusiasm nor positivity.

And I storm out of the room and plant myself on the sofa arms crossed fuming!

What a scene.

"Why, why, why can you not get excited about something? This place for rent may be perfect...perfect for us AND THE DOGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!"

(there, tons of exclamation points) ;)

So he is explaining that he likes it and that I should call the dude back to make an appointment, etc etc.

We are going tonight...but the difference is now I do not feel good about it.

Me and my sensitivities...or is sensibilities...or may be just plain I NEED PEOPLE AROUND ME TO BE ON FIRE!!!!

Switched on.

You know what I mean, jelly bean???!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I know:

patience patience.

I need to look up that word.

Perhaps because I, too, do not sleep soundly.

Makes for good boat crew, but not when living in a land-based home.

trailmix....I'd tell Marco "sure!". then don't rip up those CIBC visa's...wait until you see how much the limit is at least!

:lol:

That did cross my mind while I was talking to him....then he says, oooohhhh if we are going to do this you will need to come in tomorrow and bring me the documents and blah blah blah and I thought, well even if I had pondered doing that, I won't now - because it means another meeting with el-Marco.

I had actually meant to open the account(s) before my Husband finished work - but I forgot :hehe:

No offense taken Spirit! Computer games are just relaxing (for me) and fun and I find them interesting, like reading or watching tv - pure entertaining fun :thumbs:

I have observed people's faces/expressions when they are playing.

Here, now this game I would eagerly sign up for.

Mmmmm...

WARNING: extremely sexy!

Enjoy.

:lol: me too and that is fun as well.

While I haven't seen people reading having those same expressions, I do see it when people watch tv.

I am going to stab someone in the face!

I'd rather punch someone; and I have been trained to finish it with one blow (ikken hissatsu).

So...I am not allowed to lose my temper.

Discipline.

Hey you Delicia, please try to breath and calm thyself.

I completely hear you on the ####### that is going on around you, and in the end you will harm yourself if you keep this type of energy/feeling on top.

And I know of what I speak. I do it too often. Bleh!

I do hope you had a peace-full b-day evening and that the movie was good, and took you away for a bit.

Okay, so why is it that whenever I get into a great exercise routine and I'm doing fabulous with the weight loss, that I hit a snag?! I either get sick, or hurt some part of my body. I'm already dealing with a sore shoulder, and NOW my knee is killing me! Well, there isn't much cardio that you can do that doesn't involve your legs OR your arms is there?! ~giggles~ I don't know what to do! I DO know that I don't want to hurt myself more than I already have! But man alive! I'm going to hit my goal this week one way or another! Better find some kind of cardio that is low impact on my knee and quick!

While Bee was steadily toiling away at work tonight, my in-laws decided to invite over for dinner their best friend's daughter who'd recently been in England for the past six months. Severely awkward and stressful for me, considering that she used to date Bee, and is considered with the in-laws to be the daughter that they never got to have.

I would give my right arm for a Cuban smoke right now. Ugggggggghh. <_<

edit: I don't even smoke regularly, but I have the occasional lapse in judgment when it comes to my conscience versus good Cuban tobacco. Terrible, I know :P

Edited by ~Nini~

Nini - Vancouver BC, Canada (she's the one who does the forum thing)

Bee - Devon PA, USA (he's the one who gave her the shiny ring)

Getting our sanity tested by bureaucracy since 2007.

So, I booked my tickets home online through American. Two of the three flights are on United, operated by Air Canada.

So I call American tonight to find out how to reserve certain seats (ie ones with leg room, since I have a high risk of blood clots) on the non-AA flights.

After 15 minutes of dealing with their darn voice recognition software, I finally get an operator.

Who proceeds to tell me that he can't do anything, I have to call Air Canada.

After 15 minutes of dealing with their "press 1 for reservations" system, I finally get an operator.

Who proceeds to tell me that he can't do anything, I have to call United.

After 15 minutes of dealing with their darn voice recognition software, I finally get an operator.

Who proceeds to tell me she can't reserve the seats I want until the day of my flight.
