Back on real time! 25 overnight here. The outdoor kitties were a furry pile against the back door this morning. The 3 of them fell in when I opened the door.” 6:00:28 AM 11/07/10 “Had to scrape ll of the car windows off again. I had enough ice afterward to make 3 big sno-cones.” 4:17:19 AM 11/08/10 “Ugh, that's supposed to say "all." It's a good morning for hot blackberry-sage black tea, watching all of the frost sparkle in the sun.” 4:50:58 AM 11/08/10 “I had a great birthday weekend. Better pay the bills and go for a run!” 8:01:08 AM 11/08/10 “Happy birthday, Toejam!” 8:37:26 AM 11/08/10 “i'm tired already. got up at 3:30 to take daughter to the airport. makes for a looooong morning!” 8:42:14 AM 11/08/10 “sleeping in on the weekend?” 2:05:20 AM 11/13/10 “Nope. Getting ready for a meeting here tonight, and crying as I read about Zahra Baker.” 5:14:17 AM 11/13/10 “I was up all night, rather sick. All I have to do is make it through 7 am when I take Laurel to school, then I can crawl back in bed and try to sleep. I think I can do that. Too much goo in my sinuses and lungs to breathe. Meds not doing their duty at all. Stinks.” 3:14:01 AM 11/15/10 “Stupid neighbor woke me up at 4 am with slamming doors, revving the engine and playing music extremely loudly when they left to make a munchie run. Turds. I still don't have my voice back from laryngitis, either, so I couldn't tell them off if I wanted to. Other than that, it's a beautiful morning outside, right around 30 degrees. Sunny, with a high around 60. Sounds nice.” 4:46:52 AM 11/18/10 “Bummer tree. Get some rest. I need to go for a trail run...” 9:59:51 AM 11/18/10 “Oh boy, it's only half past 4 and the sun is already gone. In half an hour, when I leave the office it will be dark.” 7:37:00 AM 11/24/10 “Ha, ha, I'll be waiting for you. Remember, the Shadow knows. LOL.” 8:01:15 PM 11/24/10 “Someday I'll start a thread called "get it up!" just to see if treebait accidently posts on it.” 8:48:35 PM 11/24/10 “Happy Thanksgiving TT Land!” 8:14:14 AM 11/25/10 “Sorry Toe, I tend to read the thread names. :P” 6:43:46 AM 11/26/10 “And a fine black Friday to you all!” 7:40:35 AM 11/26/10 “Time to get moving, peeps! Yay, more rain today! Boo, HPM now has to drive all the way across the county because the company he works for moved their headquarters. Sucks big time.” 5:02:30 AM 11/30/10 “Hey there!.....doing this on my phone...so not sure if it will go through...hope everyone is well...I have an awesome new grandson...he is awesome...it is alot more fun being a grandparent that a parent!...I do peek in here every now and then...to see if ya all are behaving!” 5:43:19 PM 12/01/10 “glad ur peekin in Div..congrats on the new grandson there are the bestest!!!” 5:56:33 PM 12/01/10 “"it is alot more fun being a grandparent that a parent!" Got that right! Enjoy!” 1:20:15 AM 12/02/10 “Cool beans, Div! Great to hear from you!” 5:05:07 AM 12/02/10 “~groan~ 4 hours is not enough sleep. Ugh.” 3:33:54 AM 12/03/10 “I hate iffy cable/ internet connections. Everything keeps dropping out periodically. Happy Monday everyone! We have a high of around 37 today, 35 tomorrow, and HPM's hanging out in Orlando, FL. until he flies home Wednesday night. Stupid work trips! Laurel starts art club at school this afternoon, then 2.5 hours later girl scouts, then tomorrow is violin lessons. Little girl is busy theses days. Given out overall schedule for the last month, and what's coming until just after New Years, I think we're all going to play hooky some time in January and go do something fun that involves snow. Lots of snow. Definitely more snow than we had this weekend, hanging out at the big cat rescue. That was only about 3/4 inch, maybe. Whatever it was, Hobbes the tiger loved it.:D” 5:52:23 AM 12/06/10 “Last night I had a sort of panick attack. I spent the weekend learning for the exams next week. I read through a paper with test questions. Those were really difficult question and I figured that I am not fit for the test. I still have a lot of stuff I haven't learned and time is running out. ...ugh!” 9:03:15 AM 12/06/10 “36 deg in Jackson right now..high of 45...I love winter! Believe it or not, they are saying it may ....wait for it......SNOW! tomorrow night..HA! Yeah less than a 1/2" and it wont stick around...I will believe it when I see it!” 9:12:42 AM 12/06/10 “Hang in there Euro, you can handle this.” 9:41:54 AM 12/06/10 “I still need to do neurology and haven't started pathology yet.” 9:59:34 AM 12/06/10 “Euro hike - I suggest that you talk about your situation with your instructor(s), while there is still some time before the test.” 10:42:55 AM 12/06/10 ““36 deg in Jackson right now..high of 45...I love winter! Believe it or not, they are saying it may ....wait for it......SNOW! tomorrow night..HA! Yeah less than a 1/2" and it wont stick around...I will believe it when I see it!” Nurse Goodbody 9:12:42 AM 12/06/10 Oh, dear god. There won't be a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread to be found in any store in South Mississippi tomorrow. WTH do people make out of bread and milk on snow days?” 10:47:57 AM 12/06/10 “hot chocolate and french toast?” 12:27:56 PM 12/06/10 “I reckin.” 12:54:22 PM 12/06/10 “  Bread and butter pudding ! What else ?” 12:56:21 PM 12/06/10 “The version found around here is called baked french toast, for some reason. I thought the custard components/ ratios were somewhat different myself.” 1:58:25 PM 12/06/10 “No egg in this version. place in the bowl buttered slices, sprinkle with raisins, pour in the milk, sprinkle with cinnamon and bake till brown. Awesome with Ice cream.” 2:10:31 PM 12/06/10 “:-( This sucks bad. I got the times for my exams. Since we are a large group they have created different time slots for oral and written exams. My 20 mins. oral exam will be around 9:30 am. That's fine. But for the 2 hour long written exam I will go in from 11:30 till 13:30 - over lunch time. This is really not a good time to sit for two hours and focus on a written exam. :-( By the way, is it really called 'oral exam' in English? Reminds me more of a session with the dentist.” 2:41:17 AM 12/07/10 “Yes they are referred to as oral exams. I hear that term most often associated with Master's level cirriculum.” 3:53:42 AM 12/07/10 “Okay, there is this guy that I have been dating a couple of times over the last year. It started out as 'dating to see if we match'. We did some outdoorsy stuff together and a couple of non-outdoorsy events. It was nice and fun and I think we enjoyed the times we spent together. I sure did, but, I am afraid, my feelings are not going beyond friendship. He doesn't seem to tear himself up over me either. Nevertheless, I would be happy to have him as a close friend. We shared a lot of personal stuff and I didn't mind to be the patient friend, when he needed to share about the sucky divorce he is going through. Now I haven't heard back from him for two month or so. Last time I had send him a text message on his phone and a short email. Not that I had send anything important or urgent, but I never heard back. I am thinking about whether I should write him an email, just to say 'hello', or if I should wait until or if he writes me? I know he is going through a nasty divorce, with an dirty fight over their two little kids. I know live can be so ugly, that one can't bother staying in contact with friends. But I am also fed up with friends, who never call back. I had more than my share of such 'friends' over the last couple of years. Shall I write him, or shoot him into the wind?” 6:23:23 AM 12/07/10 “Firstly I am devastated ! LOL sorry. I would move on Euro. He may be going through a lot but it takes just a few seconds to acknowledge someones contact, even if to say its difficult at present. You need to concentrate on your exams right now and not have emotional distractions. Besides I have money riding that you ace all your exams ! (Just a little inspiration)” 6:31:34 AM 12/07/10 “I would be happy to have him as a close friend.  ”6:36:46 AM 12/07/10 “I agree w/ Trubrit. Good luck on the exams Euro! You can do it.” 6:38:00 AM 12/07/10 “Thanks :-) True, I don't need any emotional distraction at the moment, but you know, right now it would be nice to have a friend to talk to. *sigh* I have been at home since Thursday, spending all day, learning and preparing for the exam. I only got up and out to do some shopping and run a few other quick errands. Oh, yesterday morning I got a phone call from another student and late in the afternoon we met at Starbucks, for a cup of coffee and I helped her with a few questions she had. Nice video clip, HPD :-)” 9:20:17 AM 12/07/10 “Thanks for the encouragment and positive thoughts.” 9:29:02 AM 12/07/10 “My baby sister (40's) is going thru a similar thing, Euro. She goes all to pieces before a major test, and 'just knows' she is going to flunk. All I can do is encourage and tell her I have faith in her to do well. We has all A's. Study and do the work and you will do just fine.” 9:45:33 AM 12/07/10 “Brain fart: SHE has all A's.” 9:52:10 AM 12/07/10 “Exactly that's it, Stovie. I guess I need a big friend giving me a hug and telling me it will be okay. Sadly, although I have a big brother, we don't talk much with each other anymore.” 9:53:19 AM 12/07/10 “  There ! Now get back to study and ace those exams !” 10:51:43 AM 12/07/10 11:23:39 AM 12/07/10 “Euro, just about every 'older' guy on TT feels like he's your 'big brother'. You'll do fine.” 11:28:00 AM 12/07/10 “Hi everyone. Finally have internet access today. It may be sporadic over the next few days, until the cable co. comes out to fix the damage the neighbor and their new sprinkler system have done.” 1:23:01 PM 12/07/10 Jump to Page << prev
