We've not even had spring break yet... in fact mine starts as soon as today is over ( with minor interruptions due to unavoidable work issues including having to go to work on NV's bithday which sucks)

I did that a lot in middle/high school.

Have to admit it's nice to wake up and not be in the dark though. Same thing when you get home after work/school. The most depressing thing about winter is getting home at 4:30 and it being dark already

And children are not allowed to grow up! I forbid it, as do all parents I bet. I drive Sir Daughter the Brave nuts all the time with that train of thought.

Every time we get out of the car in the parking lot I make her take my hand until we are on the sidewalk. She hates it. The other day she was being her normally pouty self when I made her do this. I looked at her, smiled and told her to get used to this cuz as far as I am concerned she will still be holding my hand in parking lots until she is 40. Of course she gave me one of these looks

0.o

and promptly let go of my hand.

Boo! Hi all! Just popped in for my usual! (Looks at Kelkhil to see if he remembers what that is after all this time...?)

By the way - I always say to kids, "the thing about car parks is that cars are also driven in them, and usually by people who are busier looking for an empty space to park their car, than looking for little people! You hold my hand & we are extra careful!!" It always amazes me how folk just walk behind reversing cars, or let their kids run ahead to the car as if they were in a school yard!

It's so good to see you SR! I miss you! I love seeing you on facebook, too! {{{hugs}}}

World domination from INSIDE a geodesic dome counts! He's just revealing the concept of the dome at this point. Sort of playing with people, dropping little hints.

Hey all,

how we all doing? Did someone mention ice cream?

Man I'm beat, my IBS is letting me know I'm doing too much, or something else is wrong, gonna see the doc next week when they finally stop effing around with my appointment.

Promise I'm not trying to incure the wrath of MsA but I shut down for the day at about 17:45 and honestly dozed off in my chair, just not enough sleep in the world.

Any plans for the weekend? I have my ma's sixtieth celebrations over Sat & Sun, an assignment due next week and my sis' b'day on Friday. Have to get the assignment ready to post Tues and then off to Wrexham for two days. Going to need a holdiay to recover from my long weekend and shortened work week!

The good news... Castle has made it to these shores, starts next week so yay! Might make up for me missing the whole of season 2 Dollhouse a little.

Also, how exciting is the LHC! Over 7 TeV reactions and already seen pictures although the computer graphics could have been put together by any competent graphic designed but I'm very excited in a particle smashing together way!

Castle good!

There's a Firefly reference this week.

I made it into the oculomaxillary surgeon's office today. Then 20 minutes later I was walking back out because my eyelid was looking so much better he didn't want to biopsy it unless it's not improved in two weeks. This time I was given something to put on/in it on a "can't hurt" basis.
I kind of like his philosophy. He basically stated that because it was so spread out right now my body was the best doctor, if it turns into a localized lump then he's the best doctor.

I was OK with not getting cut into today, really. It was just a little anticlimactic and we might have to go through it anyway in two weeks. (sigh)

A friend of mine who is in nursing school got hit by a truck in front of the hospital last week. She's OK. I told her you're not allowed to mess up your knees until AFTER you pass the Boards.

She's in a pretty good mood even though it looks like she won't be able to graduate with her class this semester. She's bummed about it, but she knows it will still happen.

Hope you're feeling better soon Gee.

My doc is back tomorrow and will be making up for lost time today, so I'm thinking we won't get out until about 7pm. I need to kick in the afterburners tomorrow. Which means I need to recharge tonight.

Ima go sleep now. Sooo sleeepyyy.

Hugs to all that accept them!

I'll have a Chocolate Planet Collision (something bigger than an avalanche).

Alright, NOW I'm depressed. Again.

Ever have one of those days? Where you're mostly just staring at the screen, trying to decide which game to play? (Unemployed) I have the Baldur's Gates, NWN (ugh), the Icewind Dales, and even freakin' Space Rangers 2(I heart SR2)! Yet I want something else.

Is there a program out there, that'll let me:

Build my own single player Runescape-esque/Baldur's Gate 3 RPG? Where I can design/import all the terrain, buildings, objects, vehicles (I want drivable sailing ships, wagons, AND airships), creatures, and gizmos I want? With the ease of use of Inventor or Revit?

And then glue it all together without having to know a gorramn line of code? That will run on a PIII 450???

Didn't think so.

Well, that's some of my problems, Barkeep.

Vehicle trouble stinks.

I remember when my compression coil (alternator) stopped working, like it was yesterday (or 4 years ago, couple days before the New Year)....

*fade to hazy dream cam*
I was working at a small engine factory 50mi from home. The 8hr shift ended about 10:30 at night. Now, on the way to work I HAD noticed the battery charge light was on, but didn't think anything of it.

Anyways, on the trip home, about halfway, the Red Raven (that's her name) starts slowing down. But the speed-O-meter says I'm doing 60mph and rising!

Well, I coasted a ways and pulled over near a highway dept. place. Couldn't start it. Started worrying. Didn't want to hitch hike, but wanted to knock on peoples houses even less. If I was going to hitch hike, I didn't want to do the thumb signal, 'cause who's gonna see a thumb at night? So, I decided to wave, but like a giddy wimp just to show I was in no way a threat, and so the driver would have to proof their toughness by actually picking me up. Didn't work for the first few vehicles, but eventually I flagged down a delivery van.

Turns out my house was only about 20mi out of the way in his 200+mi loop. He made a delivery on the way, but didn't take that long. He also offered me some hot candy. I accepted, but only ate one before realizing I didn't have water. HOT!!!(ok, I think I did have water, but I wasn't going to open my bag in front ot the dude)

When the journey was over he didn't charge me, but I did recommend the movie Serenity!
