Hiccups? I always found drinking a glass of water while bent over forwards helps. Restricts the diaphram (sp?) and the drinking helps. You have to drink from the far side of the glass. And be careful not to let it go up your nose!

hello all!!
how are the lovely forsaken today??
*looks slightly bashful* hey, has anyone seen my clothes?? from the other night?? anyone?? i'm sure i ran through here...*shrugs* oh well!
ooooh, i felt VERY forsaken all of yesterday after my stupid bloody bender on sat nite. still not feeling totally 100%...

OMG!! someone was throwing BOOKS on the pyre!!!
that is so not cool! no book is useless, even though it may seem to be to you...as a librarian and a lover of books, i really must protest at that kind of treatment -books should be respected and treated properly!
even though this is said half in jest, i am a librarian in every aspect of my being and so do tend to put books above people in my judgements of importance. (anyone who reads Terry Pratchett-i am a human version of the Libarian- who sees the theft of a book as more important as murder [in 'guards, guards'])

edit: ok, i looked back and it was Riverismygodess! i am very disappointed in you!!

oh, and something else i've been meaning to ask; do we actually have a 'fff.net' forsaken t-shirt?? cause we could put one up on cafepress, if we don't have one already...i know it was discussed early on in the life of the forsaken...and i looked at 'forsaken' shirts on cafepress, but none of them seemed to really be from us...just wondering!!

We're generally burning 'holy' texts, being forsaken and all. There are plenty of copies

And no, there aren't Forsaken shirts from us. I suppose if someone was interested in getting them made, I could whip something up in photoshop. And anyone who wanted to could make something and we could vote on a few. Or something.

Sunday, October 8, 2006 8:57 PM

well..holy texts are ok, i guess...

Yay! we should totally get some forsaken shirts going. we could have a competition-y thing where everyone who wants to can submit their designs/graphics/images and we could vote and the winner gets to be put on the final product! YAY!!

i'm pretty sure that with cafepress, all you need to do is scan your graphics in...but i think you need your own homepage(?)...
wait...let me look this up...

edit: allllllrighty then. we have two options with the shirts if we do it thru cafepress.
1) people can create the shirts individually. you simply choose a product, upload the image you want on it and then order as many as you want. -this way, if we have multiple graphics, people can pick the one they like the best and create their own shirt with that on it- not restricting it to one graphic.

2) or the other way is to create an online shop within cafepress. the basic shop doesn't cost anything to open. you upload the images you want, pick the products you want it to be on and launch your own online shop. -this would make a profit for whoever opened the shop, and we could have a selection of all of the graphics that people come up with.

ok, well forsaken, think about it! (and think about what we want to be on the shirt!)
also, i'm only going with cafepress cause i know it -having bought EVERY single joss-related shirt they have- but if someone knows of another online shop-type-place then feel free to reccommend it.

Thankyou! I need a Forsakeny hug. They've told me I can't have my Masters degree after all because my dissertation was a week late (despite the fact that it was my supervisor who advised me to rewrite it and hand it in late). I think they're blackmailing me for more course fees that I can't afford and shouldn't have to pay.

Aaaaaaaaaawwwww...!!! Emma that simply is not right!!! Do you have an avenue of appeal? Would your supervisor write a letter to confirm that he/she advised you to do that? Is there legal student aid on campus or through a branch of your college/university? Can yu utilise you nasty illness and get a doctors letter saying that you were advised to avoid stress? Anything that might help...???

Do you need your forsaken bretheren & sistren to come over there and burn their puny a

That is truely crap. As a UK university bod I can only advise getting as many senior staff on your side as possible as the final call generally goes to the head of department or the senior school committee and if they hear a few friendly-to-you voices in their midst then so much the better. Universities are notoriously bureaucratic so there will be an appeals procedure - you have no doubt explored this - so good luck picking your way through the minefield... we are with you if only in spirit.

I never got my associates degree because College is terminally boring and a degree is largely overrated for a majority of the people who get one. (I said for the MAJORITY, for all you haters of the "unenlightened" who will no doubt have a million and one good things to say about "higher" education) Online classes all but nullify the value of most degrees, and they're all getting better educations in foreign countries now just to exceed us..... Welcome to the global economy. (They didn't tell me about that little curve ball when I was in high school, though somebody must have known it was happening... Wall Street certainly did)

I know about college from experience. I've been there 4 times. They still haven't convinced me that the College Algebra class that I just can't seem to avoid failing will ever help anyone who is not either a scientist or a college Algebra teacher. The teachers don't care none too much when I let them know how I feel about either profession..... reckon why?

I remember this one Algebra class I actually showed up to when I hadn't been there for about 3 weeks and the teacher had me do a graph of a Parabola on the board. I didn't know what the hell she was talking about but I went up to the board and made my graph and watched the guy next to me. His looked like a big grin on the graph, so I drew me a big smily face with eyes and everything and wrote "SMILE!" in big letters underneath it. She didn't care for that none too much although it illicited more than a few chuckles from the other students struggling to grasp these utterly useless concepts. I don't recall, but I do believe that that was my last time attending Algebra class on that particular attempt.

I know enough math to keep myself far out of debt which is more than I can say for most Americans, particularly from the College demographic. To this day, I still haven't smoked away what a parabola is. SMILE!

Exactly! Everyone loves Kaylee

She's just about the only character who inspires absolutely no hostile feelings in any of the fans whatsoever. Except maybe a few who are jealous that Simon likes her. But overall, she's loved!

Funnily enough, someone else did a much more detailed animation of the quote (can't remember who) and they used Kaylee for exactly the same line! In fact, they used the footage of her getting shot in the pilot episode. So it's not just me! She really is perfect!

That banner is one of my sloppier ones though. I'll have to clean it up a bit and post it again.

Emma love- I've been in a similar place and it bites big time. I agree get senior staff on your side. Write down ( as best you remember) who told you what and why and anything else anyone tells you...get it in writing!!! I am so sorry you're going through this...if you can't get them to see reason, I suggest going to the press and getting it publicized what happened to you as a "cautionary tale" which can often motivate large institutions to back down to aviod looking like the monsters they really are:)

Mornin' Forsaken,

I hope you all had a good weekend. I see the pyre burning high and lots of naked-dancing goodness has ensued.

DesktopHippie, I had an icon/banner idea, and since I am no good at making them, I thought I would share it with you. It is using Mal's line from 'Shindig' "Mercy is the mark of a great man...I'm a good man...Well, I'm alright." along with pics from the Operative fight from the end of the BDM. The first part would show Mal letting him live, then the next two would be from the fight, such as stabbing him in the foot with the screwdriver, or catching his throat as he makes his final charge, or even when he dislocates his spine (or whatever he dislocates). I dunno if'n you do requests but I just wanted to share it with you.
