Are we really still up and posting here? Who are you?

[Whoa_Nelly]

I've been involved tonight with the Camp Casey crosses event, have seen two pics of my little sister posted on DU, who has refused to talk with me for almost three years, have been suffering from hives from a Hobo spider bite for the last ten days, and am am going in for deep scaling and cleaning on my teeth beginnign this Thursday (Ouch! It will take 4 sessions)
My electricity will be turned off from 7 AM-4PM on Tuesday so PG&E can do upgrades on their system, it will be in the high 90s (better than the triple digit heat of the last siz weeks here) and I've just about done in a bottle of Toad Hollow Chardoney.

Whew! Yeah...have parked car outside of garage sosince garage door won't be opening without elec manana....am doing OK :) It's the grief of so many dead that bothers me...damn! I try not to think about it too much, but after Just Me's post earlier tosay, I have more than an inkling of how she's been feeling and coping.

Oob-la-dee, Oob-la-dah....Life goes on

PS
Thanks for the DU Lounge Has been the place to be to decompensate, to unwind...thanks all!

[ahem]

1. Would you like a hug?

Or a bunch of them?

:grouphug: :hug: :grouphug: :hug:

Sure does sound like you have a lot to deal with.

Peace.

[Whoa_Nelly]

3. Most awesome! Thanks!

it may seem like a lot, but it's all small in the scheme of things.

Thanks!!! :hug: to you, too! :pals:

[ahem]

6. If you don't mind me asking...

How is it you came upon pics of your sister here? That must have been so strange and emotional to see.

(If you don't want to say, I do understand.)

Been feeling the stress of things myself. Hoping for brighter days for all of us.

[Whoa_Nelly]

8. Was reading in GD

and saw her in the pics from the PHX, AZ Camp Casey Pink...am glad to see her out and about

[ahem]

14. Ah. I see.

Still, it must have been weird. I've dealt with estrangement in my own family--no fun :(

Good luck with the dental work (from a dental chicken :))

[Whoa_Nelly]

32. It was weird and it wasn't

estrangement is my family's middle name...

and am actually looking forward to the deep cleaning...there's a new method that is used to actually lessen the deep gum pockets I inherited from my dad...and nothing feels so good as to know I can smile and brighten a room! :D

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. Yup...sleeptime has hit the last vestige of DU activity

:boring:
Sleep well
Dram deeply

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. and you're lovin' every moment of your trip!

Way to Go, BB! And thanks for all the pic postings and the great story about the guy in the restroom...OMG!:wow: Too Much!

[bicentennial_baby]

:P i'm uploading my Orsay museum pics right now...kicked the Louvre's ass, by far. Will be posting a link once I'm finished...and the Wax Museum, also awesome!! gonna upload those ones a little later today :D

7. I am bi_baby's humble manservant/cabana boy

And, I'm posting here because I'm part of the DU NightHawks crew. I am also trying to do some reading and so on as well. Plan on finishing "Barton Fink" in a while though. Taking a break from the movie right now.

On another note. I see you received my flowers from last night. :) Just trying to make you smile, you know? :)

[Whoa_Nelly]

10. and you are such a good cabana boy

too bad I'm old enough to be your mama
xoxoxoxo <<SMAK>>

[bicentennial_baby]

20. you did...totally!

what a sweet surprise!! :)

you are such the charming romancer, you :loveya:

[Wetzelbill]

26. I'd be totally shy in person

You'd reduce me to a stuttering idiot in about 10 seconds. :)

But, I can be pretty charming either way. My shyness is a charm in and of itself. :)

[expatriot]

9. it sounds like you & lil sis may have something to talk about...

what a great icebreaker.

best wishes

[Whoa_Nelly]

11. Trust me, I've tried

It was her choice to not reciprocate

[LastKnight]

12. 3:42 where i am right now... and who am i?

good question. im college student with a fierce case of insomnia, have had it ever since i was 5... lemme tell you it isnt the way to live. dont know quite what i want outta life, honestly. i spend my daylight hours working and working out, i play guitar, bass, and violin at performance quality, so its safe to say music takes up a good portion of my average day as well.

other than that im still trying to anwser that very question of 'who am i?' because whenever i think i have that anwsered, it changes a week later.

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. Here's the clue, baby doll

Be Here Now...you are who you were, and you are who you are right now....nothing changes, you just get older and add to your repetoire

[LastKnight]

19. makes sense, i guess.

yea, more i think about it, it does.

[Whoa_Nelly]

When you hit 50

and more...lol like me...you know it's true. Main thing...follow your passions...that's what makes life your life.

[Whoa_Nelly]

24. More self-delete due to AOL BS no refresh

it was all a repeat...damn AOL

[Whoa_Nelly]

25. self-delete due to AOL BS

[Wetzelbill]

18. wow, you are one talented guy

I didn't know you played all three that well.

You'll get it figured out. When I was your age I was a drunken fool. Now, I pretty much know the things I want to do, but I have so many options in both policy and creative fields that I just don't know which direction I'll take. In the end, you'll find it isn't so much that you don't know what you'll do, it's what option are you going to take. Especially someone like you who is good at a great number of things. Narrowing it down gets to be tough. You'll be ok though.

[LastKnight]

23. good to hear that type of thing.

i mean, i cant say how much ive worried about finishing school, n all that. and having no options and going back to the same store i work in now, and working with the same people i do now, all very well educated, all making the same wage as i am now.

[Wetzelbill]

13. WTF is a Hobo Spider?

I get freaked out by spiders. Those monstrous bird eating spiders in the Amazon are awful. That kind of shit makes me not want to save the rain forest.

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. ROFL Was waitin' for someone to ask that!

It's a relative of the brown recluse...was a baby one that bit me...doc says I was very lucky

LOVELY!

[LastKnight]

17. holy crap

thats a scary lookin spider.

i have a feeling that those things laugh at a can of raid...

[Whoa_Nelly]

21. Just about! They curl up so small

and when they spread out, they move fast, keepin' to the low edges and around corners. They don't climb high and don't build webs. This house I rented had a bunch of'em when I moved in...hit'em with Raid, and had to hit'em again...nasty suckers. They were tryin' to make their home at the wrong address!

[Wetzelbill]

22. that fucker probably laughs at Depleted Uranium nt

[Whoa_Nelly]

27. Ahhhh...in a perfect world

All hobo spiders and roaches would be recruited...:::SIGH:::

[Wetzelbill]

28. roaches.. or as I like to call them "Wolfowitzes"

[Whoa_Nelly]

29. You made me laugh

:rofl:
Thanks

[Wetzelbill]

30. It's probably my greatest talent

and you're welcome.

[Whoa_Nelly]

31. I doubt that

<<wink wink>>
:P

[Wetzelbill]

33. Ha!

:)
