[Apropos]

And then...the bottom of the day...the boys take care of me, they bring me Diet Dr Pepper so I can have my caffeine fix...well one of their dad's tried to follow suit while he's helping us. He brought me CAFFEINE FREE!!! Oh there are going to be some bad days ahead if that doesn't get swapped out over the weekend.

En Guard!!

(yes, I did take *some* fencing in college... the guys hated sparring me! :lol:)

OH LOOK!! Sarah's got a 4 pronger!! Is that legal? +

[Margaret]

Aghghgh I feel like a total dumbass!!!
This paper I need for this class that I am avioding was on my e-mail and I thought that I did not get rid of it and I go to print just a few minutes ago and the stupid thing was gone :? Now my english teacher is gonna eat me!!

Wenches save me? :cry:



Any way I want the shiny peacock feather!

/me stands in front of Adriana

Shoo evil english teacher - shoo! Go on. Go Away...

Hope the re deux of the paper isn't going to be much of an issue.

[Lady Sarah]

OH LOOK!! Sarah's got a 4 pronger!! Is that legal? +

heh... you know the old saying "Double your pleasure..."

[Margaret]

Just a post to get my messages moving. Seems I have to 'shove' them up on the boards by posting sometimes....

[ambar]

Maggie.....do you hear crickets in here as well? It's so quiet.

[Margaret]

Quite quiet, quickly quips Margaret.

Adriana--just be happy Maggie's standing in front of you.

Cause believe me, you don't want her lurking BEHIND you.

I'm lighting a candle for the alter of the Goddess of Fast Typing just for you dear. Hope all turns out well. I'd hate to be eaten by my English Teacher. I can think of several other people I'd rather get eat----oh...never mind.

*sigh* we can't ALL have a day at the spa like some other lucky wenches. More's the pity. We'll just have to muddle through. *another melodramatic sigh*

Ok Ladies.. quick update..

Phee *HAS* arrived.. after having to quickly go to contingency plan B.. after she got a flat tire on the way here..

Both Rogue and Wench are happily snuggled in my kitchen.. both with grins that would light every major capitol city around the world.

Guess I earned my *wings* from the Almighty Eros ....

:haloslip:

:hearts:

BTW: THANK YOU.. to my co-conspirators who helped me pull off Plan B... one of which (ahem) just couldn't run away to his TARDIS fast enough - before I lured him into my lair of evil piratey deeds!!

[po silvertop the rogue]

Quoth the Pirate Queen: BTW: THANK YOU.. to my co-conspirators who helped me pull off Plan B... one of which (ahem) just couldn't run away to his TARDIS fast enough - before I lured him into my lair of evil piratey deeds!!

As part of Strike Team Damascus, and responsible for distraction, misdirection and timely intervention.. you're quite welcome! :wink:

..as for the speed of my departure.. Well, let's see.. I was there for the surprise unveiling... the feather-fencing.. *and* for the ceremonial ritual sharing of the Toblerone.. (having brought it meself.. Heh, heh, heh... Funny how all the Wenches drifted in that direction, wasn't it?). It was only much later, after Squire Mike asked for our departure, to be home for bed.. that he & I pulled our "Alice in Wonderland" riff and "Softly and Silently Vanished Away.." (Unlike Phoe.. *my* TARDIS functions correctly!)

As if I needed to be "Lured"! :twisted:

And the two Tall ones seemed quite happy.. Wasn't it Phoe herself who said the fencing bag o' doom needed a "... pair of trees"? I think I know of two tall trees now....

Help thyself to some wings, M'lady.. tonight you earned 'em...

Am I the only one who has had a bad day? I wasn't aware the using a spinning wheel was a dangerous contact sport. I think I would be safer learning to sword fight. Anyway, the damn wheel broke the connecting piece on the treadle again. I now have a fat lip becasue I was leaning over oiling it on the fly so to speak when the leather strap broke. And this wheel used to be so well behaved. SIgh. Any ideas of where in Oregon I could pick up sword fighting at?

[ambar]

::major grin:: Thank you guys.......It sounds like everything was a blast!!!

[Dedeley]

YAY! The meeting finally took place. I hope a good time was had by all!
Sounds like a lot of us are having good things happen for a change:
Let's see, Mags has a good day with the washer coming.
Phee and Artos met.
Po did a swashbuckling good deed. Morghan has earned yet ANOTHER halo.
Branwen has a nice long weekend.
Brian's conjunctivitis must be getting better so he can see sweet lovable GF.
Appie got a spa treatment.
Sarah's sewing machine appears to be in good working order.
Ambar, get your picture back up there, girl!

I had a three contracts approved (I'm a Contract Administrator) that were in the makings for over two years, a contractor made a special-long trip to see me to thank me merely because I took two minutes to thank him for the work his company did on a major construction project, AND I was assigned the contract I've been wanting for a long time.

I am the proud owner of THE BEAVER CONTRACT. :D I've wanted that sucker for a long time, just so I can say, "I have the beaver contract." I always thought it should be owned by a woman. In the spring, we have to go out to the site and do a "Beaver Walk." Perhaps I can incorporate some of the Wench Walk into the Beaver Walk.

Happy Sigh

[Morghan]

I had a three contracts approved
Happy Sigh

CONGRATULATIONS .. Dede... HUZZAH!!

[Margaret]

Let's see, Mags has a good day with the washer coming.

And is Mags happy about that, let me tell you!!

Good for you DD! It's so nice when something you have been working hard on pays off. To get the Beaver Contract is just the icing on the cake :bananada: :aok: [/i]

However, everyone knows spinning wheels are dangerous, just as Sleeping Beauty :wink:

[Saucy Ria]

/me is a bit jealous of Phee and Artos........ Ahhhhhhhhhhh the feeling of that first face to face **ahem** meeting!!! I'm so glad everthing is going well.......at least AFTER the flat tire! Enjoy loves!!

My weekend started great.........went to the auction with my rogue, as we have taken to doing to fill up the new nest and the hours in the off season. We got a really nice oak dresser and TWO really old and REALLY cool steamer trunks,bringing our collection up to three. This is really fun!! We also got this odd cast iron statue of a fat guy..almost looks like W.C. Fields, with a big ol clock in his belly! It's SO awful it's great! I couldn't leave it there! If i knew how to do it I would post a pic of him here. Of course I had to take one as soon as we walked in the door!

Today I have to go watch my twin sons play basketball, NOT thier best sport but anyone that knows me, knows I am a totally supportive basketball, baseball,football, bandfront,chorus, chamber singers, scout mom!

Then tonight it's off to my middle sister's FORTIETH birthday party. It's become my job to convince her that 40 is NOT NOT NOT old........ It's the glorious beginning of the best part of her life! I can't decide on weather I should wear a bodice or my MILF shirt {yes my chris has an odd sense of what would be a funny xmas gift} to convince her! I think I should have maybe picked up a PARF season pass for her gift. THEN she would learn just how much fun life can be!

Hopefully....sunday will be rest and football! Oh.of course i need to catch the game today......one of my twins, Alex is a big jets fan....... so i am forced to cheer against the steelers........who actually will be winning the whole shebang this year IMHO!

Have a peaceful, joyous weekend everyone!

huggggggggggggs,
Ria

[Margaret]

GO STEELERS!!

We ended up staying here for the weekend, so it will be Penna bound for the AFC champ game. Jon, currrently, is devising ways to get rid of Erin and I at about 4 ish, so he can watch the game in peace.

Yay Ria on adding to your collection of stuff! Always fun going to auctions!

[pngwnmama]

My oh my! What things do happen when I am off working!

Well, hopefully tonite I will witness the Phe and Artos show live. Should prove entertaining!

Hmmm, feather fencing? It's been a while!

Coffee is hot and the strawberries are fresh for savoring!

[ambar]

Well, hopefully tonite I will witness the Phe and Artos show live. Should prove entertaining!

This is thier first weekend togeather........*chuckle*.......I doubt we'll hear a peep from them :twisted:

[Margaret]

Yes, all the peeping will have to be saved for Monday... :D

[Morghan]

Well, hopefully tonite I will witness the Phe and Artos show live. Should prove entertaining!

This is thier first weekend togeather........*chuckle*.......I doubt we'll hear a peep from them :twisted:


First weekend yes.. but Phee is hosting the Wench's singing night - tonight at her place.. so now its someone else's turn to provide details!! hee-hee :lol:

[Dedeley]

*Saucy Ria is a bit jealous of Phee and Artos........ Ahhhhhhhhhhh the feeling of that first face to face **ahem** meeting!!!

Nothing quite like it, is there?

Perhaps the first time you look upon your child's face?
Perhaps when you look deeply into a doggie's eyes?
Perhaps when they serve you a double chocolate mousse cake? :oops:

It's such a fleeting moment, but oh, so wonderful. Much like an orgasm, demmit.

Actually, that was a walking wheel not a spinning wheel. :) No treadle. And the distaff is a dangerous item. That is what Sleeping Beauty actually pricked her finger on. I made friends with an ice pack. I look some what normal today. Still think sword fighting might be less hazardous. And certainly more fun at the moment. There is a certain man I would like to teach a lesson to.

[Cassandra from VTRF]

Come on JETS! Quit screwing around and pay attention to what you should be doing!

[Margaret]

Wish SOMEONE would win the game - then my husband would stop yelling at the TV.


Oh, BTW: GO STEELERS!!


:smooch: I still likes ya Kit, even though you are rooting for them :wink:

[Cassandra from VTRF]

The ONLY reason I am rooting for them is that the Pats have a better chance of getting into the Superbowl paying the Jets.

:smooch: I still love ya too Margaret.

And yeah the only reason I am watching is because of my husband. I would rather be watching a movie.

[Margaret]

WOOT!! Steeler's win

/me does happy dance because I am going to be in Pittsburgh next weekend with hubby!!!!

[Margaret]

:smooch: I still love ya too Margaret.

.

Yay! /me has warm fuzzies!

[Cassandra from VTRF]

:lol: Glad someone is happy. :lol:

Have a blast in Pittsburgh! I am hoping to be at Birka, but I am still working out the details.

[Lady Sarah]

WEll, actually Dede, the sewing machine is put up at the moment. the neice is here and my sewing room is actually her bedroom ~L~ but she's getting booted out tomorrow so I can at least finishe up the Boop bloomies and a chemise.

Ever have one of those days? :lol:

I had the alarm set to 530 so I could get a shower and be ready for the 830 meeting I had to attend this morning.. this is the same said meeting that was sprung on me Wednesday evening originally scheduled for 930... guess who slept through the alarm? :aok: not a major problem y'know, I can still get home at 1030, as the Chairwoman has a brunch to be at at 1030, leaving me plenty of time to shower and make it to the bank before my nail appointment...

at 1130 I had to leave the meeting or I'd never have made it to the bank and my car would have no gas... I was supposed to be as a Games Night starting at 2, but considering i didn't get home until 115 from getting my nails done and *still* hadn't managed a shower yet, I didn't leave the house untl 230 and had to stop to get gas on the way. The coffee at the gas station sucked, I wound up getting stuck behind every frellin' geriatric with a ilcense on the highway - and yes, this *would* have to be the weekend that this particular highway was being watched like a hawk by the law authorities... no Empress Drives Like a Demon this day...

But, the party was good, met a few new people in the area, found the local Chocolate God, had a few wenches and rogues worshipping my feet for my Baklava magic and got my ass kicked at playing Talisman. The headache is just now starting to fade. ;)

I'm off to bed. I'll need my whip and chair to beat the sewing machine into submission tomorrow...

[biker]

I'm off to bed. I'll need my whip and chair to beat the sewing machine into submission tomorrow...

so is that what your calling your new chew toy?

[biker]

Oh my daughter learned to :pfft: tonight. was funy watching her that, and she ended up spitting on her Auntie Brea.

[Margaret]

To which everyone went "Oh! How adorable!!" :D

Best watch out Biker! Soon she will be learning the 'coy' looks.

[Cassandra from VTRF]

Any one want to hang out with me while I clean the upstairs of my house? It gets so boring up there. I am trying to organize it so that I can actually use my sewing machine. And that I can find stuff, ect..

[Margaret]

Hey Cass - you little name changer, you! :wink:

I would hang with you today but we are packing up soon to head over to my friend Tracy's house (Tracy = Da BookWench). She has some new fabric to taunt me with.

So, the boys will be ensconced in the computer room lost in the World of Warcraft, Tracy and I will be plotting and planning sewing and Erin will be plugged into The Chamber of Secrets or Peter Pan (yes Sarah, I know, I know. Got her trained well.)

quick sidebar: the incredible and most decidely dishy Jason Isaacs is in both movies. We luuuuuurrrrrrrve him.

I hope you find some good stuff up there when you clean out. I usually find some fabric that I had forgotten about in my stuff. :roll: Almost like getting new only better as it is payed for already!

[Dedeley]

I'm here for a few minutes. Online trying to plan vacation to visit in-laws. Or is that an oxy-moron?

[Margaret]

I'm here for a few minutes. Online trying to plan vacation to visit in-laws. Or is that an oxy-moron?

Dang, I must just have missed you! Happy (?) vacation planning! :smooch:

[Dedeley]

I'm still here, Mags - travelling back and forth between websites.

We have three offers to stay with family, but you know how annoying that can be . . . . .

So we're looking for a cheap, clean hotel and trying not to upset anyone! It's hard planning around school holidays because it narrows the travel window a lot. Also, we are going to Calgary, and they have the Stampede there in the first and second weeks of July. Although it's lots of fun to Stampede (the whole city basically parties for two weeks) it's also an expensive time to go there. We're trying to catch the big parade and opening day, but avoid the main crowd rush. Yee haw! Stampede . . . .

Not particularly into the Western stuff, but when in Rome, er, Calgary. You can't beat free breakfasts for 14 days running, can you?

[Veldrina Vladescu]

....just poking my nose in & saying hi....."HI!!!!"" :D

[Dedeley]

Hi, Vel! How are you? We've missed your presence from the boards.

Are both Montague and Dmitri behaving?

[Lady Sarah]

I'm off to bed. I'll need my whip and chair to beat the sewing machine into submission tomorrow...

so is that what your calling your new chew toy?

I wish.... :lol:

:tantrum: Wish I could go with you. I can't wait to get everything done upstairs so that I can sew again.

Yea, I finally decided to fess up to my real name... It might change again once I actually figure out my character for VTRF (http://www.vtrenfest.com).

I did find a couple of things, but I have SOOO far to go. I have at least, uncoverem my sewing maching, but I still have to clean a path to it. -sigh- It didn't help that Poppet decided to come up and 'help' me organize. She did this by bringing up some of her toys from downstairs, to watch me.

Now I am thinking about going over to my friend Amy's house. Poppet can go and play with her son, while she and I hang out. Hubby is going over to his parent's apt to watch the Pats game.

[Dedeley]

Good luck "organizing" with Poppet, Cassandra. They're so cute when they try to help, and just wind up increasing the mayhem and chaos! I just found a sock under the kitchen table, myself. And mine is almost 10!

[Fiona Freckl'dbottom]

Phoe! A thousand apple-oagies!!

The plan *was* for Phil and I to come up last nite, Toblerone in tow (hee-hee!) But Phil has been sick all week and was out delivering all day friday, in the rain which didn't help! (Surprised the poor guy didn't suffer from rising damp! yuckies!) So he didn't want to go out and decided to stay home and reprise the title character in "The Couch Potato." And because I'm a big baby I wasn't about to drive myself to yer place. (Sigh- Why do I seem to make friends with people who live so far away?)

Sorry I missed all de fun!

[ambar]

Oh Biker.......Did you forget about little 'ole me over here?

::tucks skirt up to show leg and dangles a bottle of mead::

....just poking my nose in & saying hi....."HI!!!!"" :D

VEL!!!!!

::smooch::

[pngwnmama]

Hey all! Just a quick pop in to let you know that the show continued live at Phee's house then followed to the Jukebox where they "danced" for us. He is very tall, which makes her very happy! Tune in tomorrow for more...

[Katie O'Connell]

I would hang with you today but we are packing up soon to head over to my friend Tracy's house (Tracy = Da BookWench). She has some new fabric to taunt me with.
!

And taunt her I did. Neener neener and all that. Too bad I can't quite dance yet.

I feel your pain, Cassandra--I am forbidden to venture onto the porch (finshed but not heated) until the mounds of stuff that is currently being stored there is removed else I break my neck (or re-break my leg). The odious mound o'crap lies directly in the path to my machine, the ironing board, the fabric stash bins, the patterns and EVERYTHING!

Auugh! I want to sew --I have STUFF to sew--I have TIME to sew--but I -- just -- CAN'T--SEW!

Once you get it all sorted out, please Sew for enough for the both of us!

[biker]

Best watch out Biker! Soon she will be learning the 'coy' looks.

she already does that.

[Margaret]

Good Morning All!! It's Monday and I am not at work!! :bananada:

Just means I will be busier the rest of the 4 days, but hey, I'll take it. Going to be popping in and out today inbetween the rest of the laundry, birthday present shopping, playing with Her Grace and general over all house stuff.

That and fabric shopping!!! My dear Katie scored too well in the fabric area, as she said, and I must regain supremacy!! Really, I just need to find some killer fabric for a forepart, so thus is my mission.

[Cassandra from VTRF]

:hi: Margaret. I'm home today as well. However I have work to do. I have ANOTHER job starting today. Helping a friend/neighbor get stuff on ebay for his business. I also get to watch the twins for a couple of house for another neighbor. My Dr's office called and cancled my appt becasue the dr is sick. :lol: Its ok. I reallly didn't feel like leaving my house yet.

-makes a pot of coffee-

Oh yeah, I should do the laundry. My hubby anounced that he is out of undies this morning. :roll:

[biker]

I'm at work for another 5 minutes. Thought I had to work today so I came in. Did find out that my work email was closed due to too many messages. (200+) so I waded thru them and I'm on the way home.

[Margaret]

:hi: Margaret. I'm home today as well. However I have work to do.

:lol: As Jon was leaving the house this morning he said "Enjoy your day off!". I laughed. "What?" says Hubby-O-Mine. "Day off!" says I. "I have laundry to finish, dishes to do, a house to clean, beds to make, a six year old to watch, what day off are you talking about!"

Cass, sounds as if you have as much a 'day off'. Good thing we're tuff - otherwise all this leisure time would wear us out! :D

[Cassandra from VTRF]

Cass, sounds as if you have as much a 'day off'. Good thing we're tuff - otherwise all this leisure time would wear us out! :D

Hmmm. Mine thinks that all I have all day long is leasure time watching Poppet who's 3. To top it off he's home all day today. While I am doing the other 2 jobs today, I bet he's going to sit in his recliner and watch tv. And ask me when I am going to get up stairs and finish organizing stuff.

-shakes head- MEN! -looks around at the Rogues here- Sorry guys. Didn't include you in that statement.

Margaret, how about you just give me your laundry and I'll at it in. Your kid and mine can play while we do the rest.

[Lady Sarah]

Auugh! I want to sew --I have STUFF to sew--I have TIME to sew--but I -- just -- CAN'T--SEW!

I've got a 12 year old occupying my sewing room at the moment... so that's a lost effort right there. I'm hoping I should get back to sewing this week - provided I can tell the difference between the power strip and the foot pedal. :roll:

That and fabric shopping!!! My dear Katie scored too well in the fabric area, as she said, and I must regain supremacy!! Really, I just need to find some killer fabric for a forepart, so thus is my mission.

Mistress Margaret.... uhm... can you do me a hugemongous favor??? /me bats her purdy golden brown eyes atcha... if you find more silk noil (about 15 yards) in a burgundy or deep purple color, can you.. uhm, purdy peese pick it up for me? I'll pay you back! I've hunted and hunted and hunted down here and none of my stores carries silk noil :sigh:

[Margaret]

Margaret, how about you just give me your laundry and I'll at it in. Your kid and mine can play while we do the rest.

~chuckle~ Just give me a sec. to hook up my telepotation system, set the coordinates for Vermont and I will be all set.

Would be nice wouln't it?

/me adds devise teleportaion system to 'To Do' list :D

Aw Sweetie, you don't even have to bat thoes purdy eyes at me. Tracy and I are storming Joann's today, so I will look.

Good morning everyone! Monday again??? UGH! I never get days off...darn it! :) So did everyone have a lovely weekend??? :D

[Apropos]

/me shivers to the tunes on the audio.

Its way to cold in here to work. I think it should be declared a no work zone until it's at least 40 degrees outside.

[ambar]

You know, it's nippy here as well. I might even have to get a coat out now.........

::ducks and runs as fast as my little legs will carry me::

[Artemisia]

Bad weekend up here in Upstate NY. The snow melted and it rained which flooded the entire basement 12" high - we have NEVER experienced anything like that before. The furnace went, the washer machine died and the water heater is acting up too. So my hubby is buying a new furnance today. My poor little toy poodle is wrapped up in blankets and won't come out. We're burning alot of firewood. Alot of our neighbors have experienced the same thing. Wild.
:faint:

[Branwen]

Good Morning all. I actually signed up for overtime this week, so I am at work now instead of getting ready to leave for work. I'm a glutton for punishment. I signerd up for a total of 20 hours of overtime this week.
My shopping trip this weekend went well. I got new music to listen to, I bought some artwork from a gallery in Fredericksburg, a new Sterling Silver blue Lapis ring, 2 bottles of wine and a bottle of Mead. Had great company and awesome conversation. My POOR brother came home from work at 8:30a and then we left to go to Fredericksburg. He stayed up for a full 24 hours with us girls. I felt so bad for him. At least he was able to get some sleep on the way home and he went to bed around 8p.

I'm glad that everyone had a good weekend and are attempting to enjoy their time off today. I know house work is not timeoff, but timeoff from WORK is nice anytime of the week.

[ambar]

You know.....a thought just occured to me. No one has invoked the name of the Sheriff yet. Does anyone know how Po survived the weekend?

Or Tinkerwench and Eric?

[Veldrina Vladescu]

hi all! i'm home today too (luv federa holidays)....and who turned off the heat???? Friggin goin down to 11 today!!!

[Dedeley]

Wow, very quiet today. Where was everyone?

I MAY have a very special friend popping into the forums. You know who you are. If you get in, welcome to another part of my little world. :hi:

OOOOHHHH, fabric. What are you all making? I can't sew - OK, I can do buttons and hems, and mending, but don't have the patience for following patterns.

[Veldrina Vladescu]

eh, been cleaning house most of the day...some day off! figured i'd poke my nose in ;)

[Dedeley]

[po silvertop the rogue]

Quoth Ambar:You know.....a thought just occured to me. No one has invoked the name of the Sheriff yet. Does anyone know how Po survived the weekend?


.. All Hail!
How was my weekend? Hmm.. OK.. After spending Thurs. home with Squire Mike (the younger of the two squires.. 8 years old...) - who was home with an ear infection.. Mike was fine Fri. eve to accompany me to the SCA event meeting.. (Morghan, Artos & Phoenix.. Heh.. heh.. heh....)
Fri. eve. Provided support and distraction for Phee's surprise... and also played "Feed the Wenches" with a *large* bar of Toblerone.. and then took up a feather when the feathers came out for fencing... :lol: :lol:

Sat.- Put on the Basketball Dad hat and attended gamesfor both squires..

Sun.- Dressed up and caught the closing matinee of Squire Eric (the elder squire- 11 years old) onstage in "Kids on Broadway".. Ok- here's a warning.. anyone who doesn't wan to encounter a paragraph of Doting Dad.. please skip the following italicized paragraph..


Ok.. I'm a theater-person.. Squire Eric is a FOURTH-Generation theater brat.. Broadway is literally in his blood.. I've performed with him in Shakespeare ("Scottish Tragedy")- Seen him in Beckett ("...Godot"), Williams ("Cat on.."), and even "Christmas Story".. and to sit there in the front row and watch him take the stage and perform the solo "Where is Love" from "Oliver"- bare-stage, with only a spotllight and a piano accompanying.. Well- I don't think I've ever had a prouder moment as a father... we're talking close to tears here... And then they opened act II with Eric as Peter Pan: "I Won't Grow Up"... We took him out to dinner afterwards.. and the evening just kept getting better... wow...

Monday: Although I *did* have to work, unlike some of you habitual bus-riders.. at least the day was made fun by one of my favorite publishing reps handing me a *bag* of interesting review galleys for upcoming books.. including Isabelle Allende's upcoming ZORRO...
And mere moments after I post this... I'm heading out for tonight's "Steel-Therapy" fencing practice... HUZZAH! (And we're fencing again tomorrow! double-huzzah!)

Parry *that* Gang!

He lurks around, but has esentially stopped posting. His own personal reason as to why he stopped posting. You may have to PM him to get the details.

Dude, I am thrilled for you guys! You must be one proud peacock of a dad!!

Oh my goodness! I haven't read anything by Allende since COLLEGE!! You WILL post the review, won't you? Pleeeease! /me bats pleading puppy dog eyes at the Sheriff....

[Branwen]

Okay, I have 1 hour and 53 minutes remaining in the work day. And to think I only have 4 more days like this to look forward to. I just keep telling myself that the paycheck will be well worth all of the pain. As is said NO pain, NO gain. I honestly think that phrase is about excessive Overtime. How many CD's can a person listen to in a 12 hour work day? So far I have listened to The Beatle's, AC/DC, Bette Midler, Big Bad VooDoo Daddy, Def Leppard, The Who, The Doors. I think I'm going to go into the Swing part of my CD case & start listening to a little bit of Artie Shaw, and Glenn Miller. Will see if they will help me get through the evening.

[Dedeley]

I hereby invoke the bookish, swashbuckling and mayhem-inducing Sheriff, Po, the Swashbooklin' Rogue:

Po, you should be very proud of your sons. Excellent job introducing them to the theater and encouraging their endeavors, whether they be baseball or musical theater. Bravo to you and your Mistress.

Now is there anything more moving than a little kid singing "Where is Love?"

Po, you never fail to delight and entertain. I am sure your squire was fantastic on stage!

[thungar]

My POOR brother came home from work at 8:30a and then we left to go to Fredericksburg. He stayed up for a full 24 hours with us girls. I felt so bad for him. At least he was able to get some sleep on the way home and he went to bed around 8p.


It really was not so bad I mean I got to spend the day with three ladies who were *worried* about me. Granted one was my sister but hell if I can have fun with my sister and her friends so be it. That and Branwen and I never really get to spen time as brother and sister. I work most weekends and the parental units are always making me do something on my days off.

[thungar]

HAZZAH!! On your son's performance Po.. I can completely understand those "proud parent" moments as I've had a few myself.. first when Monica was crowned "Little Miss Sumpter" .. then "Ms. Smokerise" twice running... and when she had her first ballet performance - I probably would have been in the front row crying myself - had I not been back stage - with tap shoes on... so YES, I can totally relate.. Again.. HUZZAH - on a job well done!! and please pass my Congrats - on to your family.

As for our "steel therapy" this eve'.. I can only give it an overall.. "WOW".. we "wire weenies" got more floor time than last week and I even got to play with a schlaeger for a while (although my new parry device never made it to the floor) .. and I even left pretty much - unscathed this week :)

Tomorrow night is another night of "steel therapy" and I'm already fully energized and ready to hit the dance floor..

Music Maestro... its time to dance...

Invoked again! ( yup- lookit the hour.. after 1 am.. and I'm just returning from a *Late* night of Steel-Therapy...

Just be thankful I have not inundated you all with photos and digital recordings of the performance.. Heh, heh, heh..

*Introducing* them to the theater, M'lady? It was unavoidable.. the squires' mother acts, directs, sings, dances and choreographs... their Sheriff-dad acts, directs, designs, builds, sings and combat-choreographs... their maternal Grandfather designed sets and lights on Broadway, and their Great-grandmother was the original Broadway choreographer of "Camelot", "Kiss Me Kate", "My Fair Lady" and others...

Somewhere I have a photo- The eldest squire, his mom and I- as Lord and Lady Macduff, and young Macduff... -'twas an interesting production.

Other than scheduling conflicts, We've tried to give the squires every opportunity to try new things and to persue their interests.. Scouts, Basketball, Baseball, Theater, Gaming, Ren-faires, Music (Eldest Squire Eric is in his second year of Flute- his choice..) and more... (plus advanced classes in school...)

ok- enough braggin' bout the squires.. they're in bed- and so should I be too...

G'night all! See thee anon!

Wow, Po's kids have quite a heritage.

Mine inherited a great-grandfather who spent time in Dannemora prison. Does that count as something cool?

[Margaret]

It's -2 here right now, heading for a whopping 15 degrees. ~Buuuuuurrrr~ chilly morning! Must mean I need to stock up on change for the hot chocolatae machine at work. Good thing my office is warm - with my door closed, it usually gets up to about 87 degrees (nope, not kidding, not even a little bit)

Happy Tuesday to some and Happy Pseudo Monday to everyone else! :)

[pngwnmama]

It's very quiet in here! Where's Phee?!!?!??!?! Where's my show?? Eh, off to Philly to hang with Ysobelle!

[Margaret]

Ya, it is kind of quite today.

Myself, I am catching up on the work that I missed yesterday, wishing I could be home sewing....

[thungar]

Okay, I have to say it. You two have a really neat relationship.

Some siblings try to kill each other but you two look out for each other!


True that as well we do try to kill each other at times. Mostly we are on a wave one week we can't stand each other the next week we are doing something with either her friends or mine. Odd. But what the hey.

[Apropos]

Morning all. How's tricks?

Lets see...relationships...topic..hmm. Well my daughter and I are bestest of friends. She is turning 21 next month and everyone is amazed that she is passing on their invites because she's going out with MOM! She was, and it kills me to use past tense...a top clarinetist once. She played in several orchestras and attended Interlochen. She was third best at camp (a camp of kids from 170 countries all over the world) before she decided she didn't like music and wanted to be in theater. So now she does plays and acts. Oh I am still proud of her every day... But oh how I miss the music that girl could make come out of that instrument. She would play Moonlight Serenade and sound just as good as Benny Goodman. She would play for senior citizens and they would be in tears remembering when they danced to that song with their honnies back in the day. I think that is a good thing. But she lost the desire to play and I only have memories and a very empty savings account. UGH, the money we spent on lessons, reeds, camps, travel! Oh well.

[Margaret]

Sounds like a pretty normal sibling relationship. :)

My sister is 2 years younger than me, and when we were younger, she was the bane of my existance. Always tagging along and such. As we got older, yes, we would fight but we would share clothes, make up etc. Just didn't hang around together. Now that we are theoretical adults, we live 600 miles apart. However, when we get together (and can ditch the kids for a time) we go out and hang with her friends. Her friends are VERY similar to mine - guess we were more alike than we cared to admit :wink:

[thungar]

My sister and I are a lot like that she is 5 years older than me but we are so much alike at times that it is wierd. I mean I get along with her friends almost all of the time and we often hang out at the same places.

I'll second that! It's great to see siblings get along like that. My sisters and I "get along" all-right, but I get along with my Brothers-in-Law better. We go hiking, fishing and hunting together alot. Sisters don't quite understand the enjoyment of getting "dirty". Damn sissys!

[Lucy]

I consider myself to be soooo very lucky! I have 3 best friends... My rogue, my mom, and my sister! My rogue & mom are both here in (8 degree weather) Louisville, but sadly, my sister hated it here and moved 1000 miles away back where the rest of my family is. I miss her more than words could say. She was a really good excuse to do young and stupid things and not to mention she shared the love of faires with me too. It's definitely not the same without her. :wah: I'm lucky if I get to see her once a year now...

Hello all!
How is everyone today and how was the weekend?

Finally all of my finals are done so that headache is gone!

This weekend my boiler busted and Mum was getting ready to go to Arizona and we had to call a differnt plummer because the plummer that normally fixes it is my Granpa and he is in Arizona! But it got fixed after some trouble with some faulty pipes no cleaning that floor for a while!


Po that is great that your sons are that open to all of the stuuf that you have them in!

Cats stole the battery.

DAY 4
Cat rang the bell, I ate the food.

[Dedeley]

All right, what's going on? Where is everyone? No pickle fignts, no innuendo, no flirting? What is this world coming to?

Yay, Thungar's back! You were missed.

I am an only child, so hung around with my cousin when I was a kid. She was seven years older, so she taught me cool stuff like the meaning of swear words, and made me a fake ID so I could go to bars with her. And all the time, my Dad thought it was SAFE for me to go out with her. The most memorable was when I had to go to a strip joint with her and her boyfriend . . . . .

A wonderful person showed me a magic way home from work tonight - no more traffic! :D And a beautiful parking/pull over spot on the banks of the Mohawk River. Very romantic place. Must remember to go there sometime!

Question and sort of rant - we've been watching the Phee and Artos show and basically watching love - or lust - bloom. How come we forget to have fun like that? How come we forget that feeling of needing to be with a special person, so much that it's a physical ache and longing? Does that have to be fleeting? How come we forget the comfort of simply sitting there together and feeling the warmth of someone else's body? Or that feeling of excitement because you're going to see a special person? And that wonderful period of falling in love and simply drowning in someone's eyes, and being happy just because you're in the same room. Sigh.

[Adriana Rose]

Wow it's been dead around here!!
Is there any one around???

Is it 5 yet?? Ugh I was supposed to have detention but the detention watcher person is gone so that went out the window! But I told my BF that I was gonna be out at 5 and I am his ride home so well here I am bored outta my head listening to the teachers plot next years curriculum


It's good that we now have a place where we can romp with out getting someones knickers in a bunch!

/me turns down the lights in the room to 'mood lighting'. Falling in love. Isn't that the best and scariest time in the world! :love: A time when you imagine you and your new love, walking hand in hand down the beach. Having that little day dream blown to bit as he decidedly does not hold hands nor does he like the beach, thank you very much, but that's OK.

I think the entire 'rose colored glasses in love' time is fleeting because you are so willing to over look the other person's 'imperfections' because of that giddy light headed feeling. Things that in 6 months bother the hell out of you. However, I think that feeling does remain in a relationship, it just gets buried under life. Every once in a while, I will look at Jon and just get hit with a 'WOW! I love this man!' and be amazed by him all over again. Then, as usual, I will go and give him a big squeeze and kiss, and tell him how much I love him. He looks at me and calls me a sap. :roll: But he says it with a big smile :D Ah, love.....

[Margaret]

What did you do now, young lady. :wink:

Glad you got your boiler fixed! Not good to be without it in this weather. Our furnace went out here 2 winters ago - of course in the middle of the night, of course on a weekend. :roll: Thank the good Lord above for kerosene heaters!

[Adriana Rose]

I forgot to check in for a class and the teacher got mean and here I am!
But other than that I am a good girl at school :twisted:

Oh yea we had fires going in bith fire places and oh boy what a chore when on is up stairs and the other down with a bum knee!

Mags - Lyrics from Avenue Q, When you Ruv Someone (sung by Christmas Eve, Japanese immigrant):

The more you love someone, the more you want to kill 'em.
The more you love someone, the more he make you cry.

Though you are try for making peace with them and loving,
That's why you love so strong you like to make him die.

The more you love someone, the more he make you crazy.
The more you love someone, the more you're wishing him dead.

Sometime you look at him, and only see fat and lazy,
And wanting baseball bat for hitting him in the head.

The more you love someone, the more you want to kill 'em.
Loving and killing fit like hand in glove.

So if there are someone you are wanting so to kill 'em,
You go and find him,
And you get him,
And you NO kill him,
Cause chances are, he is your love.

That's it. I've done my part for romance tonight!

[thungar]

the one main problem of livivng in Texas is that if we get any real cold weather the whole city shuts down. But I think that we had like 2 weeks that we had to turn the heat up at home. :(
I would love to have some snow once to last more than one or two days

[Veldrina Vladescu]

OK< WHO TURNED OFF THE HEAT IN NEW YORK???? GEEZ it's feckin cold! brrrr! (unhappy frozen Cuban) :shock:

[Dedeley]

Below zero here upstate, too. Get out the hot chocolate and flannels.

Ever notice how people from cold weather climates actually find flannel sexy?

[Veldrina Vladescu]

right, cuz I'm feelin REAL sexy with goosebumps the size of wyoming, shivering sniffling & rednosed from honking runny nose into tissues! ;)

[Dedeley]

Thungar - we lived in TX for awhile (outside of Dallas). For the first time in my life, I had a fireplace in the house I lived in. WE NEVER USED IT. Kept waiting for it to get cold, and it never did! At least by New Yorkie standards.

[Branwen]

Lyrics from Avenue Q, When you Ruv Someone (sung by Christmas Eve, Japanese immigrant):

Okay that is not fair. I read the lyrics while listening to the "Flat Foot Floogie". The instamental part became the background music for "When you Ruv Someone" & everytime I got to Love my mind read "RUV" with a very thick Asian accent. I do telephone customer service for a bank, so I get all kinds of people calling in from all over the world with different accents. I LOVE listening to people from England, Ireland :hearts: :hearts: , and Scotland. You haven't heard anything until you get cussed out by a Irish Priest 'cause his account is overdrawn. It was a classic call. I couldn't belive that he used that type of language, but it sure did sound purty coming from him.

Hello dere Brudder. Getting cold in Texas, or to put it more correctly South Texas, is one thing. Getting cold or freezing and rain/sleet/frozen rain shuts down the City. Then again, if anyone spits on the road you can almost guarantee a 4 car pile up.

My Family & I have a fairly close relationship. There was a time in which I couldn't stand my parents. But, that was during my teens. I wa kicked out of the house a couple of times & I did "run" away from home after I got into College. I moved in with my Ex. What a waste of human flesh. I didn't want to listen to my parents (who were right), so I thought I was bigger by moving out without telling them about my decision. Good thing we patched everyting up, or I would have been homeless. My Mom is one of my BEST friends. There are times in which she just DRIVES me up the Freaking wall. But, she's a good egg none the less. I think the "difficulty" that we had when I was a kid helped pull the family together & prepare my parents for my Brother when he got to my age. Of course he got away with a LOT more than I did.

[Phoenix McHeit]

Wheeee! Wow I had some catching up to do here! See what happens when I'm off the board for 4 days. But it was sooooooo worth it!

Gonna try & get some sleep now, but I'll see all you lovelies in the morning!!!

Poor thing, after work I got to ride the harley home in a tee shirt.

[Morghan]

Oh my! Did they get it fixed?!?!?!?

Yes.. I believe they did - as I got the offline message that Artos was on his way home - and since I was at "steel therapy" this eve' - I'm guessing he went into work and I'll finally catch up with him - on the morrow.

I guess this means I'm going to have to finally get that string on my guitar fixed - and start composing again.. this time - something a little special for those two.. however - until such time as I can accomplish that - I hope the song lyrics from Cinderella (1965) will suffice...

"Do I love you because your beautiful?"

PRINCE

Do I love you because you're beautiful
Or are you beautiful because I love you?

Am I making believe I see in you
A girl too lovely to Be really true?

Do I want you because you're wonderful
Or are you wonderul because I want you?

Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream
Or are you really as beautiful as you seem?

CINDERELLA

Am I making believe I see in you a man too
perfect to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful, or
are you wonderful because I want you?

BOTH

Are you the sweet invention of a lover's
dream or are you really as wonderful as
you seem?



Amas Veritas - May the blessings of the Heavens in all their splendor be with you both!

[Artos O'Dalriada]

GOOD MORNING! After a hellish night at work, I'm in a delightful mood this fine freezing morning, had a simply blissful, and extended even, weekend. The car is somewhat tempermental, as I didn't feel like paying the $200 autozone was asking for a starter, but seems to only be really cranky in the bitter-ass cold (like, oh, any day in NEPA)....Well, there's my very vague update for the day.

[Margaret]

Ever notice how people from cold weather climates actually find flannel sexy?

Did someone say flannel!! Oh, now I'm all hot and bothered - said the chick from the Upper Penninsula of Mich. :wink:

~when I was in middle school, I remember school being cancled due to temps. The 'real temp.' was -30. With wind chills is was somewhere around 50 below zero. Now that's cold

[Saucy Ria]

Morning Everyone.............

Phee and Artos........... so glad the weekend was a success!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh the newness and passion are nearly palpable even just across the magical net! I'm truley happy for you.....
I am also FREEZING! and worried and frustrated and exhausted and depressed. You see, Chris and I spent most of yesterday in the ER and he wasn't "officially" working. Chelsea has been having pains in her lower abdomen/pelvic region and after being poked and prodded and ct scanned and ultrasounded and drained of what she believes is most of her blood.............. Still no reason for the pain. She's structually all together properly and all of the blood work was negative. This SHOULD make me happy.......but the kid is still in pain and there's nothing i can do to ease it. We are seeing a new gyno as a follow-up and hopefully she will have our answer!
New love/lust is wonderful.......... but to sit for hours and watch as the object of your affection goes to the utmost of his abilities and calls in all the favors he has stored up and tenderly tends to YOUR child with obvious love and concern..........well........that just puts you over the moon! I am in love with quite an amazing man.
Now i must venture out into the frigid PA morning and get my kidlets on the bus and take my dragging butt to work........ Man I am too tired to be of any use to anybody today!
I hope you all have a great day!!

hugggggggggggs

[po silvertop the rogue]

**Yawn**
Hmph... 'tis far too cold, and I had to get up far too early... -on the other hand, I still have "post-Steel-Therapy" glow in my system, for the second time this week.. so who am I to complain? :D
Artos & Phoenix have *finally* surfaced? HUZZAH! (and Heh, heh, heh... :lol: ) I was beginning to think we'd have to send in a St. Bernard with provisions.....

Ok- 'afore I send thee all on thy ways today, and head out to the bookshop.. I'll toss a song out into the arena as well... (Hmm... How about some Blackmore's Night? It's on-topic [romantic] as well as semi-period....])

All Because Of You

Is this happening? Is this fantasy?
Never did I believe
There could be such happiness
Feels like nothing on earth
Started with one little kiss…

I could stay in this moment forever
I could reach every star in the sky
I could lose myself when I look
Into your eyes…

Is this happening? Is this fantasy?

All my dreams coming true…
…all because of you
I can't believe its true…
…all because of you….

You are everything I
Wanted for so many years…
Goodbye long, lonely nights
Sadness and thousands of tears

I could stay in this moment forever
I could reach every star in the sky
I could lose myself when I look
Into your eyes…

Is this happening? Is this fantasy?
All my dreams coming true…All because of you
I can't believe it's true…all because of you…


Ok.. Gotta sell books... gotta sell books... gotta sell books..

[Dmitri]

Just checking in, but reading alot of this just made me diabetic...

Morning....

[Phoenix McHeit]

Oh GEEEEZ Ria! I'm so sorry for you all. I hope Chelsea is feeling better now! Give her a tender hug from me, and yourself, too. Is there any more helpless feeling in the world than watching your child in pain and you Can't Stop It? Thank whatever deity you choose that Chris knows his stuff, and all the tests came back negative. That's quite a man you have there. Again, best wishes to you all, warm hugs, and healing thoughts.

Morghan - oh those lyrics are beautiful! *sniffle* I didn't know you composed as well - must be a family trait, as Artos shared one of his original pieces with me & the Mini's yesterday. (Music, people... MUSICAL pieces... :twisted:) Darn those pesky G-strings, anyway - always breaking at the inopportune moments! :)

Yes - for all those daily viewers of the Show.. (and if ya don't care, please feel free to skip this part.. and if you do read it... Warning: Mushy Schtuff Ahead) The weekend went better than even my outlandish & over-the-top imaginings & expectations. This Rogue, my Artos... he is truly as he appears on this board.. even more so. He is kind, generous, considerate, intelligent, playful, funny, protective, responsible, chivalrous-but-not-patronizing, musically talented, helpful, willing to compromise, energetic, open & honest... oh I could go on, but I believe I may have already caused him to turn 10 different shades of red. "Amas Veritas" indeed, dear sister. He likes holding hands, he was willing to come dancing with me, even though he was dead tired....he played games with and paid attention to the Mini's joyfully...in short, words alone cannot express how wonderful and lovely he is. Oh yes - and the avatar doesn't do him justice... Yummy!

So, for anyone who was interested - Yes there is quite a lot of 'substance' to go with the 'flourish'. Perfection, at least in MY eyes. I had been searching for him for years, never believing he existed. Now the only thing left to do is deal with this pesky distance thing. :)

So, get out your forks, I'm done. Happily so. Now I just have to hope I didn't embarass him too much. :D

Thank you Morghan, Dear Sheriff Po, and all the rest who made the surprise a success... it was well worth all the hassles of the flat tire and the rescue to have that expression on his face in my memory!

:grouphug: So for everyone who has let their own swoony feelings get pushed aside or buried over the years, let these above paragraphs give you the motivation to take em out, dust em off, and truly appreciate the special person who makes your heart sing. Life is not a dress rehearsal, you only get one go-round. And I'm not squandering this chance, this blessing that I have been given.

OK Mushy Schtuff Over... at least for now. :twisted:

So... how is everyone (at least the Easterners) handling this frigid weather? Brrrrrrrr its 10 degrees, and wind-chill of 3 below. Yeah Mags, I know it ain't 50 below, but its durn close enough. Anything below Zero is Farkin COLD.

PngwnMama - sorry we missed you yesterday - we braved the Mall, hoping to see you. I forgot about your screwey schedule this week. But we did see Kat:) And I got a great calendar - "Wild Words from Wild Women" Today's quote is "I've made so many movies playing a hooker that they don't pay me in the regular way anymore. They leave it on the dresser." -Shirley MacLaine

Hugs everyone! Let's get this bus a-rollin'!!! (or at least a-rockin' :twisted:)

[Dmitri]

I'm happy for you Phoe... I'm glad you're expectations were dashed (in a good way...)

it's still disgustingingly saccharine.... :P

[Fiona Freckl'dbottom]

Just checkin in....

Mornin' Phee, Artos, Morghan, Po, Ria, John Boy....

Yeah Phee, gotta be careful of them G-strings...."G...g...g...." ;-)

Ria, I hope Chelsea gets better soon!

Have a good day everyone!

[Phoenix McHeit]

Oh wow D... you can't believe how happy I am that you posted that. Thanks, sweets. It means a lot. :smooch:

And here's some insulin, hun - sorry but I warned ya! ;) I'll attempt to keep the Mushy Schtuff toned down a bit now.

Po - Beautiful song!!! Here's another, more modern, but lovely just the same. By The Corrs. "At Your Side"

When the daylight's gone
And you're on your own
And you need a friend
Just to be around

I will comfort you
I will take your hand
And I'll pull you through
I will understand

(Cuz you know that)
I'll be at your side
There's no need to worry
Together we'll survive
Thru the haste & hurry
I'll be at your side
When you feel like you're alone
And there's nowhere to turn
I;ll be at your side

If you're standing still
And your soul's confused
And you cannot find
What road to choose

If you make mistakes
You won't let me down
I will still believe
I will turn around

(And you know that)
*Chorus*

Ahh - I do so love the Corrs.. their songs speak to me.

[Dmitri]

Hey listen I'm just as mushy as the next guy... As for songs there are many that.. get to me... two right off the top of my head are from TSO off their Beethoven's Last Night CD. Both get me all choked up...

Both are sung by Theresa, the woman who Beethoven pushed away because he felt she was to good for a cripple like him.

I'LL KEEP YOUR SECRETS

( THERESA )

LOST IN YOUR DARK
I SEE YOU THERE
WHAT DO YOU SEE BEYOND YOUR STARE
AND YOU BELIEVE THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN KNOW

WHAT IS THIS THING YOU KEEP INSIDE
OUT OF THE LIGHT AND WRAPPED IN PRIDE
ALWAYS AFRAID THAT ONE DAY IT WILL SHOW

I'LL KEEP YOUR SECRETS
I'LL HOLD YOUR GROUND
AND WHEN THE DARKNESS STARTS TO FALL
I'LL BE AROUND THERE WAITING
WHEN DREAMS ARE FADING
AND FRIENDS ARE DISTANT AND FEW

KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU
WHAT ARE THESE VOICES THAT YOU HEAR
ARE THEY TOO FAR OR FAR TOO NEAR
WHAT ARE THESE THINGS THAT ECHO FROM THE PAST

WHO ARE THESE GHOSTS YOU SEE AT NIGHT
THERE IN THE SHADOWS OF YOUR LIFE
THEY ONLY LIVE BY THE LIGHT YOU CAST

I'LL KEEP YOUR SECRETS
I'LL HOLD YOUR GROUND
AND WHEN THE DARKNESS STARTS TO FALL
I'LL BE AROUND THERE WAITING
WHEN DREAMS ARE FADING
AND FRIENDS ARE DISTANT AND FEW

KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I'LL BE THERE WITH YOU

I'LL BE AROUND
WHEN THERE'S NO REASON LEFT TO CARRY ON
AND EVERY DREAM YOU'VE EVER HAD IS GONE
AND THE DARK IS DEEP AND BLACK WITHOUT A SOUND
AND EVERY STAR HAS BEEN DRAGGED TO THE GROUND
KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I WILL BE AROUND
KNOW AT THAT MOMENT I WILL BE AROUND

[Dmitri]

and two:

AFTER THE FALL

( THERESA )

TIME
ONLY TIME
COULD NEVER TAKE ME AWAY FROM YOU

AND WHY
SHOULD IT TRY
TIME NEVER CARES JUST WHAT WE DO

IT JUST SITS ON A STAR
AND GAZES DOWN
DROPPING ITS MOMENTS ALL AROUND
AND IF I COULD WISH UPON THAT STAR
I WOULD FIND WHAT YOU DREAM
AND THEN ASK GOD TO GRANT IT

I WANTED
TO SAY THIS
LONG BEFORE THIS DARK WOULD FALL
AT NIGHT I
WOULD PRAY THIS
THEN WONDER IF GOD HEARD AT ALL
FOR THE CHANCES I'VE HAD ARE NOW LONG GONE
AND THAT STAR IS NO LONGER WISHED UPON
FOR ON THIS NIGHT IT SEEMS TOO FAR AWAY

TRY
I HAVE TRIED
TO PRETEND THAT I DON'T CARE
BUT THEN
SLEEP ARRIVES
AND IN EVERY DREAM I FIND YOU THERE

BUT I DON'T WANT THE PAST TO BE MY LIFE
AND I DON'T WANT TO LIVE INSIDE THE NIGHT
BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR SHADOW FADE
SO I SLEEP AND I DREAM
THOUGH I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT

I WANTED
TO SAY THIS
LONG BEFORE THIS DARK WOULD FALL
AT NIGHT I
WOULD PRAY THIS
THEN WONDER IF GOD HEARD AT ALL
FOR THE CHANCES I'VE HAD ARE NOW LONG GONE
AND THAT STAR IS NO LONGER WISHED UPON
FOR ON THIS NIGHT IT SEEMS TOO FAR AWAY

YOU CAN LIVE YOUR LIFE IN A THOUSAND WAYS
BUT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THAT SINGLE DAY
WHEN YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU REGRET
WHAT YOU CAN'T RECLAIM BUT YOU CAN'T FORGET
IF I COULD JUST FALL BACK INTO MY LIFE
AND FIND YOU THERE INSIDE THIS NIGHT
AND LET ETERNITY JUST DRIFT AWAY

[Phoenix McHeit]

Oh D - those are lovely! Makes me want to find them. TSO you say? Cool, thanks!!! Sweet to know the Wolfie has a tender side. :smooch: And I'm glad to see you posting again - you were missed.

/me happily humming love songs while posting and sipping coffee.

[Dmitri]

Well the first one Vel sang to me once... I had told her one time, before we were together that a woman who feels that way is one that you marry... here's another that's quite poignant the same writers different band, Savatage, whom TSO grew from.

Believe
Written by Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill

So after all these one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A child alone
On your own
Retreating
Regretful for the things you're not
And all dreams you haven't got
Without a home
A heart of stone
Lies bleeding

And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the things you had to leave behind

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark
I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
All I ask of you
Believe

Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
Grown-up wings
You needed

But when you had to add them up
You found that they were not enough
To get you in
Pay for sins repeated

And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you cried
And for all the fears you had to keep inside

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark
I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe

I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
Till time wasted me
Never wanted to go
Always wanted to stay
'Cause the person I am
Are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
Hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can't pay

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark
I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe

Believe

[Margaret]

Well, now that I have FINALLY made it in to work...... /me starts grumbling about Michigan drivers who don't know how to drive in snow.

Ria, I hope you and your daughter find your answers. My thoughts are with you.

:smooch:

Back to the lyrics that Dedeley posted: how true is that. Jon can piss me off more than anyone I know (and vice versa, I am sure). However, there is no one I would rather spend my life with. We have often joked that we had to marry each other, because no one else would put up with us. :lol:

[Phoenix McHeit]

Wheeeeeeeee! Hi Mags! Glad to see you survived the Michigan Driver Nightmare. Here hun - you deserve it. /me passes a hot cuppa & a tray of truffles

[Margaret]

Thanks Phee!! /me happily sinks into a comfy chair, hands wrapped around the mug, truffle box in my lap.

Here's my mushy love song:

Artist: Depeche Mode
Album: Catching Up With Depeche Mode
Title: Somebody


I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When i want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
Aaaahhhhh....

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things i detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when i'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it
Aaaahhhhh....


~feeling all warm and cozy now

[Phoenix McHeit]

Wow we're all in a song mood today - and Thanks Mags - that's a fave of mine too.

Here's another Corrs one - "All the Love in the World"

I'm not looking for someone to talk to
I've got my friends, I'm more than OK
I've got more than a girl could wish for
I live my dreams, but its not all they say

Still I believe
I'm missing something real
I need someone who really sees me

Don't wanna wake up alone anymore
Still believing you'll walk thru my door
All I need is to know its for sure
Then I'll give....
All the love in the world

I've often wondered if love's an illusion
Just to get you thru the lonliest days
I can't really size it, I had no hesitation
My imagination just stole me away

Still I believe
I'm missing something real
I need someone who really knows me

*chorus*

Love for a lifetime
Not for a moment
So how could I throw it away
I'm only human
And nights grow colder
With no one to love me that way

Yea I need someone who really sees me!

Then I won't wake up alone anymore
Still believing yo'll walk thru my door
You'll reach for me and I'll know its for sure
And I'll give....
All the love in the world

OK Maybe it isn't the most romantic, but its hopeful - and love is hope, after all.

[Margaret]

Hell, I am just happy I found the Lyrics.com site! :lol:



OK, back to work........

[Lady Sarah]

Feh.. mushy songs...

No clue why, but I love hearing this song every year at Christmas. It's been, in my opinion, one of the most romantic I've heard - and it's not mushy or saccharine.

God forbid we should have some of either, right? :roll:


"All I Want For Christmas Is You"
Vince Vance & The Valiants

Take back the holly and mistletoe
Silver bells on strings
If I wrote a letter to Santa Claus
I would ask for just one thing
I don't need sleigh rides in the snow
Don't wanna a Christmas that's blue
Take back the tinsel, stockings, and bows
Cause all I want for Christmas is you

I don't need expensive things, they don't matter to me
All that I want can't be found underneath the Christmas tree

You are the angel that tops my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
Cause all I want for Christmas is you

I don't need expensive things, they don't matter to me
All that I want can't be found underneath the Christmas tree

You are the angel that tops my tree
You are my dream come true
Santa can't bring me what I need
Cause all I want for Christmas is you

Cause all I want for Christmas is you

[Phoenix McHeit]

Wheeeeeeeee! G'morning Sawah!!! Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Xmas songs, but I do love that one. Simple, direct, and nice.

:grouphug:

[Lady Sarah]

Wheeeeeeeee! G'morning Sawah!!! Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Xmas songs, but I do love that one. Simple, direct, and nice.

:grouphug:

G'Mornin' everyone!
G'Mornin' Phee!

yeah, that and TSO's Christmas Eve Sarajevo are my FAVORITE Christmas songs...

outside of that? erm... romantic/mushy... erg, I'd have to think.

[Margaret]

So, a complete aside to mushy songs...

I just read DB's post on "New Investmetn Opportunities" (laughed my skirt off too, BTW). For Christmas my in-laws gave me a gift card to Victoria's Secret - waaa hooo! So, one weekend, my Mother-in-law asks if I had the chace to spend it yet. Nope, I tell her, not really. Just had the chance to run in, pick up some undies.

Oh, says Sondra, maybe I could watch Erin for a bit and then you could go shopping. Great thought, except for one thing. What I am going to buy at VS now, I definatly don't want my mother-in-law to see, and I know that if she watches Erin and I walk in with shopping bags, she's gonna want to see what I bought. :oops:

Thank heavens for on line shopping and lunch hour runs to the mall!!

[Apropos]

PHHHEEEEE! Welcome back! I have to go on record to say that I am so happy something so wonderful and good came from all our flirting, innendos, playing, threadjacking and fun. So maybe we aren't so bad after all????

[Margaret]

So maybe we aren't so bad after all????


Ah, but when we are bad, we are better, no? :wink:

[ambar]

Mushy lyrics...... (oddly, I'm starting to enjoy bluegrass in my old age) ......

Artist/Band: Krauss Alison
Lyrics for Song: When You Say Nothing At All
Lyrics for Album: Now That I've Found You. A Collection

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
Now you say it best, when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Old Mister Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
Now you say it best, when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
Now you say it best, when you say nothing at all

[ambar]

So maybe we aren't so bad after all????


Ah, but when we are bad, we are better, no? :wink:

as Mae West said
When I'm good, I'm good. When I'm bad, I'm very good. -- Mae West

And just for giggles:
Give a man a free hand and he'll run it all over you. -- Mae West
So many men, so little time. -- Mae West
"When women go wrong, men go right after them."

[pngwnmama]

Ok since we're being sappy (and I am often not that!) I saw "Phantom" yesterday and this one touched me:

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing.
Her father promised her that he would send her the Angel of Music.
Her father promised her...
her father promised her...

You were once my one companion,
you were all that mattered.
You were once a friend and father,
then my world was shattered.

Wishing you were somehow here again,
wishing you were somehow near.
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed,
somehow you would be here.

Wishing I could hear your voice again,
knowing that I never would.
Dreaming of you won't help me to do,
all that you dreamed I could!

Passing bells and sculpted angels,
cold and monumental.
Seem, for you, the wrong companions,
you were warm and gentle.

Too many years fighting back tears,
why can't the past just die!

Wishing you were somehow here again,
knowing we must say goodbye!
Try to forgive, teach me to live!
Give me the strength to try!

No more memories, no more silent tears!
No more gazing across the wasted years!
Help me say goodbye...
help me say goodbye!

[pngwnmama]

Oh, and another thing. I wanna rogue!!!!!!! All this saccharin is raising my sugar and reminding how single I am! :cry: :cry:

[Apropos]

I saw "Phantom" yesterday and this one touched me:


Did you like it...yes I know there is a thread on it...I started it...but I can threadjack if I want to...So what did you think??? I just ordered the movie poster for my daughter for her birthday...I love Phantom!!!!! Talk about sensual!!!!

[Phoenix McHeit]

Ooh Ambar - Morghan played that one for us when I was there Friday night... by a different artist though - I can handle it better than Alison Krauss' squeak. Mmmmmmmmmm yes... lovely, wonderful song......

:grouphug: Appie - yes I'm glad this happened - and without you guys and your support and friendship, posting and threadjacking... it might not have. Words cannot express how I feel about you, my sisters. :smooch:

Mama - ooh lovely one - nice choice to add to the mush collection. ;)

/me pushing thread - post, demmit, POST!

[ambar]

I'm happy for you Phoe... I'm glad you're expectations were dashed (in a good way...)

Welcome back D :smooch:

[pngwnmama]

I saw "Phantom" yesterday and this one touched me:


Did you like it...yes I know there is a thread on it...I started it...but I can threadjack if I want to...So what did you think??? I just ordered the movie poster for my daughter for her birthday...I love Phantom!!!!! Talk about sensual!!!!

Absolutely loved it! Definitely better than other screen productions I have seen. Gerard Butler is a very sexy Phantom, deformities and all. And the costuming, wow! I have the soundtrack for the movie and the stage production and go back and forth between the two!

[ambar]

Oh, and another thing. I wanna rogue!!!!!!! All this saccharin is raising my sugar and reminding how single I am! :cry: :cry:

AMEN Sistah!

There will be someone out there for us!

[Lady Sarah]

Oh, and another thing. I wanna rogue!!!!!!! All this saccharin is raising my sugar and reminding how single I am! :cry: :cry:

you and me both sister... :sigh:

[ambar]

Oh, and another thing. I wanna rogue!!!!!!! All this saccharin is raising my sugar and reminding how single I am! :cry: :cry:

you and me both sister... :sigh:

Be wery wery quiet, we're hunting wogues......hahahahahahaha
(sorry, having an Elmer Fudd moment)

Have faith ladies, we will find some, somewhere.............

[Apropos]

Matchmaker matchmaker find me a match
Catch me a catch....

Ok, its not a much song, but it fit...I like Fiddler on the Roof.

[Dmitri]

TSO's Christmas Eve Sarajevo are my FAVORITE Christmas songs...

Which first appeared on the 1995 Savatage release 'Dead Winter Dead". Then was resurected for the 1996 TSO release of Christmas Eve and Other Stories. TSO is basically Savatage with and orchestra. Same song writing/composing team, O'Neil & Oliva, with Kinkel thrown in...

[biker]

. I wanna rogue!!!!!!! :

and who do you wanna roque?

[Phoenix McHeit]

Biker - you offering? :twisted:

[ambar]

You think biker could satisfy all three of us? :twisted:

[Lucy]

WoW! It's afternoon already??? Sheesh! I never have time to play in the fun bus anymore :(

Ap, the fiddler on the roof thing was right there on the tip of my tongue...creepy you were thinking it too...lol!

*hugglez* to everyone! Happy Hump Day!! *hump hump hump* (I'm talking about the CAMEL!!! No naughtiness here...nothing to see...move along folks! ;)

[ambar]

Pngwnmama, what do the roses you sell look like? (I confess, I just looked at your web page) Roses and leather in the same thing.......* happy sigh * heaven!

[Saucy Ria]

Yummmmmmmmm! Mushy songs......... :)

Phee......... don't worry about the distance.........it CAN be overcome!!!

I don't have the lyrics yet............but check out the new song by Rascal Flatts (YES i love country)

"GOD BLESS THE BROKEN ROAD.....THAT LEAD ME STRAIGHT TO YOU!"

Off with the WIT to the new docs!

huggggs
Ria

P.S. Careful............though I wouldn't trade him for the world, especially after the last few weeks...........be careful what you wish for.............it ain't easy loving a rogue!! :D

[Fiona Freckl'dbottom]

And just to add a lil more sugar to everyone's diet! Heh, heh, heh....

Also, here's a Brian Wilson song I don't think too many people know about:
Still I Dream of It

Time for supper now
Day's been hard and I'm so tired
I feel like eating now
Smell the kitchen now
Hear the maid whistle a tune
My thoughts are fleeting now

Still I dream of it
Of that happy day
When I can say I've fallen in love
And it haunts me so
Like a dream that's
Somehow linked to all the stars above

Young and beautiful
Like a tree that's just been planted
I found life today
I made mistakes today
Will I ever learn the lessons
That all come my way

Still I dream of it
Of that happy day
When I can say I've fallen in love
And it haunts me so
Like a dream that's
Somehow linked to all the stars above

A little while ago
My mother told me
Jesus loved the world
And if that's true then
Why hasn't he helped me to find a girl
And find my world

'Til then I'm just a dreamer
I'm convinced of it
The hypnosis of our minds can take us far away
It's so easy now
You see someone up there high
And heaven's here to stay

Still I dream of it
Of that happy day
When I can say I've fallen in love
And it haunts me so
Like a dream that's
Somehow linked to all the stars above

[biker]

Biker - you offering? :twisted:


Sure why not.??


:whip: :pokepoke:

[Morghan]

Morning Everyone.............
I am also FREEZING! and worried and frustrated and exhausted and depressed. You see, Chris and I spent most of yesterday in the ER and he wasn't "officially" working. Chelsea has been having pains in her lower abdomen/pelvic region

Ria - I am so sorry to hear about Chelsea - I will light a candle and keep thoughts of answers and healing formost for all of you.

[ambar]

Biker - you offering? :twisted:

Wow Ria - with all this love & healing thoughts, Chel's sure to come thru this with flying colors!

Ambar - he's offering! :twisted:

Mornin' / Afternoon Fiona et all... :grouphug: I wasn't going to mention it in my earlier post - but I guess Phee remembered - its the G string that broke on my guitar some 2 -3 years ago - and I haven't gotten it replaced yet.. funny how life connects to.. (oh, never mind) :?

Anyway.. Snuggle up and Stay Warm everyone..

[Phoenix McHeit]

Gotta love Colorado weather when I left home today it was 50 degrees !!
But my truck was parked next to the housr in the sun though........

[Fiona Freckl'dbottom]

YAY!!!

:in a sing-songy voice: I got out of work! No more work todaaayy! :-D

[Artemisia]

I'm still trying to stay warm up here (Upstate Wallkill NY). Still don't have heat (ruined furnace due to minor flood), but we do have electric heaters and the fireplace going. The water heater finally blew a gasket yesterday, hubby fixed it then water froze last night. Hubby put a heater in the basement and now the water is running. The new furnace, of course, is on backorder. Also Hubby burned a hole in kitchen floor by putting smoldering ashes from the fireplace into a plastic wastebasket. UGGHH, send me some warm wench vibes. :augh:

[Morghan]

[i]All Because Of You

I just listened to the music that goes along with these words... <sniffle>
Beautiful - absolutely - beautiful...

Thank you Po - for a much needed distraction -especially at a time - when I'm about to take a 'sword N board' and turn it into a 'clue by 4'...

[Artos O'Dalriada]

Dear Sis, Don't you mean 'clue-by-Thor'? *wicked grin*

And where is that wonderful phoenix at

[ambar]

Dear Sis, Don't you mean 'clue-by-Thor'? *wicked grin*

Ah, there we go. Sometimes post just don't wanna show up for some reason...


You know, it's been a good day here too. Didn't get much done, but the day has been good. Hubby is fetching the wee one and will have dinner almost ready when I get home, and maybe just maybe I can get some sewing done...

[Margaret]

On their way, baby!! :grouphug:

EEP! *giggle* I've been Pounced!!! C;mere & snuggle to keep me warm - its freezing today!

Mags - I'm planning on being in chat.

/me sits with a cheesy smile, holding tightly to her Rogue

[Apropos]

I am going to try to pop into chat too. Be afraid, be very afraid!!!!

[Artemisia]

:hmm: Ha! Hubby just called and said he got a letter and a phone call from someone who is interested in buying the house! We don't even have the house on the market, but with all the real estate action up here, I'm not surprise about the offer. Funny it happens right now while the house is basically falling apart, but I guess the person won't want to purchase the house in it's current condition. Unless they are planning on mowing it down and building a McMansion which are sprouting up everywhere in my neighborhood. There are no such things as coincidences - *singsong Closer and Closer to VA or FL I come.*

[Adriana Rose]

Ok how does that chat room work??
My puter at home has the Java program in it but yea it just does not work!! Yea I should have put this some where else......

Florida is right spiffy and we have nice faires as well....or so I've heard.....

[Lucy]

OH! It's Wednesday! I have not stopped over at the Hangout yet, are we meeting for Chat tonight?

I'll sure try Mags! :)

[Artemisia]

Florida is right spiffy and we have nice faires as well....or so I've heard.....

I have got to get down there one of these February's (that's when faire is on, right?). Already visited MDRF and loved it. I need to get down there sooner than November of this year :tantrum:

Was that a blast of warm air I felt? :shock: - oooo, thanks girls! :grouphug:

[ambar]

ONE of them anyway......:D

I've watched the realty show "growing up gotti" and I think the name needs to be chnaged to GROW UP gotti.

[Dedeley]

OK, I'm going to thread-jack BACK to the mushy songs - 'cause I can here.

Music of the Night - Phantom of the Opera - one of my lifetime fantasies has always been to make love to that song. "Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind." Does it get ANY better than that??

How about Silent Lucidity?

Phee and Artos - good for you! I'm glad it worked out. You never know when it's going to hit you.

And yes, it was this thread that led to the happiness. Despite everything - so it was worth it, no?

For those who want a Rogue - I truly believe that there is someone out there for everyone, maybe even right under your nose. Sometimes we have to open up our minds to the possibilities. On the other hand, talking dirty to guys seems to work pretty well, too.

"Forever Autumn" on Jeff Wayne's *Musical Version of the War of the Worlds*

In fact, I'll go so far as to nominate the *whole* smeggin' album... wow. Tasty...

Two words: *electric harpsichord*

On the other hand, talking dirty to guys seems to work pretty well, too.

(Po glances leftwards- to the open bar of Toberone) Heh, heh, heh... :wink:

Vocabulary: Check... Imagination: Check... big strong straightjacket to imprison internal-editor: Oh, Check indeed! :twisted:

[Dedeley]

May I request some hugs? I work at a place where anyone who is different - i.e., not a Stepford Employee - is treated like dog poo. A friend went through a bad experience today with the head-games, and I feel like a piece of crap because I can't do anything except sit there and empathize. It sucks. So can I request some hugs for people who have to put up with a crummy work situation? I know you guys will all send warm thoughts, light candles, etc. A couple of pins in a voodoo doll might help, too. Choose your own target and pin location!

:grouphug:

"Forever Autumn" on Jeff Wayne's *Musical Version of the War of the Worlds*

I anticipate a trip to amazon.com . . . . .

It's really better than Music of the Night?

Slow or fast? Lyrics?

And methinks the Sheriff has discovered the way to a wench's heart. Ah, the joys of people who talk dirty and eat Toblerone's. Put in some clotted cream, and I'm in heaven.

[Fiona Freckl'dbottom]

Dedely I know what it is to *be* in a suck-job work situation. :Yuck!: Fortunately I finally have a job now in which the environment is *not* like that, but I understand what you and your co-worker are going thru....

Hugs coming yer way! :grouphug:

[Fiona Freckl'dbottom]

You want mushy?? Well why didn't ya say so in the first place!? ;-)

The following is by Yes and it's called Sweetness. Have I mentioned how much I love Jon Anderson? (swoon!)

She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon;
She puts the sweetness in, stirs it with a spoon.
She watches for my moods, never brings me down;
She puts the sweetness in, all around.
She knows just what to say to make me feel so good inside.
And when I'm all alone I feel I don't want to hide.

Today she brought me in, told me where she'd been;
She put my mind at rest, put the sweetness in.
I'll ask her for some time to go and look around;
She puts the sweetness in with a sound.
She knows just what to say to make a sunny day.
And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way.
Tell me, how would you feel with no world of your own and nobody to
hold?
I just can't see the way; I'm so glad it's today and you're here, you're here.

She brings the sunshine to a rainy afternoon;
She puts the sweetness in, stirs it with a spoon.
She watches for my moods, never brings me down;
She puts the sweetness in, all around.
She knows just what to say to make me feel so good inside.
And when I'm all alone I really don't feel that way.

Oh how I need her so, I know she'll never go.
She'll never leave me, believe me, no.
She'll never go

[Branwen]

Okay all, I think I'm suffering from virtual sugar overload. I'm borderline diabetic & I think these "sappy, sugery, mushy" love song have pushed me over the boderline state. :D
I think I'll have to listed to Metallica or AC/DC to get a Semi-heavy metal fix.

Pheo & Artos: Congrats on the Magic Bus "Love Connection".

Maybe we need to rename the thread?

Have a great evening all. I have 1 hour & about 45 minutes remaining for the day & only 24 hours of work for the rest of the week. Yeah, I love Overtime.

[po silvertop the rogue]

Quoth Dedeley: It's really better than Music of the Night?

Slow or fast? Lyrics?

Hmm.. a bit of everything.. it's a whole musical (as the title would indicate..)
Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds.... the incredible Richard Burton plays the Narrator, with Moody Blues Justin Haywards on guitar.. and a full cast do the entire HG Wells classic as a musical. I must have worn out 3 Vinyl LPs between '76 and '88.. and I'm on my *second* 2 CD set.. (recently digitally remastered with extra tracks..) Some long slow ballads.. some faster... full orchestration with electric harpsichord... A love story (or two), some action.. something for everyone...

Here's one link to the full lyrics and script... and even some sound-bites (but there must be hundreds of sites devoted to this project, so I'm sure you'd be able to hear more before committing cash...... http://members.aol.com/skyyeyes/jwwow.htm

So M'lady wants chocolate and banter, eh? That's a nice combination... 'specially if we *warm* the chocolate...

But first to other matters of morale, M'lady- here's a starter hug... :grouphug:

and as for that Voodoo you requested? Have you tried http://www.pinstruck.com/ ?
:twisted:

Go look.. I'll warm the chocolate... Heh, heh, heh....

still waiting for the darn site to update. :?
Pheo, it looks like you will have to start a new thread. This one may have gotten to big for the garage. :wink:

[Margaret]

I've watched the realty show "growing up gotti" and I think the name needs to be chnaged to GROW UP gotti.

The only reality show that I tend to watch is The Amazing Race.

I am just soooooo happy Jonathan is off. He was such a jerk!

[Margaret]

Ok how does that chat room work??
My puter at home has the Java program in it but yea it just does not work!! Yea I should have put this some where else......

Ususally, all I have to do is go to the Chat area (you find it via the drop down box in the upper right corner), type in a name to use and click 'Connect'.

Last night was funny though. I have been using 'Mags' to sign in with no issues. Last night after I typed in 'Mags' then hit Connect a box popped up and said it was a Password Protected name. In all the times I have been in Chat, that has never occured. Maybe someone just protected it? Who knows ~shrug~

I know nuthin' on any oth the technical aspects, so I am sorry I can't be of any help there. Maybe someone else can help?

/me pushes posts on to the Boards

[Margaret]

Well, looks as if I am home with Her Grace today. Herself has had an 'icky tummy' since about 4:30 this morning. Poor thing.

So I will be bopping in and out as usual...

[Lucy]

Ooh ooh ohh!!! It's ALMOST Friday! Yipee!!!

Good morning everyone! *hugglez* I might actually get to play today!!! :)

[Margaret]

Yay! Good for you Lucy! Nice to see you round these here parts again :smooch:

[Phoenix McHeit]

Good MORNING lovelies!

Mags - re: chat... I have found that if I type in just Phoenix, I get the password-thing, but if I use my registered name 'Phoenix McHeit' there's no issue.

Bran - I plan on changing it over soon - we have a request for "Magic Carpet" so that'll be the new one - only 50 more posts to go! (I wanna get it to 1001, for my sig)

Lucy - Huggs, dear! Play today? KEWLNESS!!!!!

Mags - ooh I hope HG feels better soon, dear!

/me looks around for Cass... has anybody heard an update on Poppet yet? I'm concerned for the wee one.

ok one more bit of mush... although its more considerate than sappy..... you may recall that I have been having issues with my Station Wagon... it seems that it needs a new thermostat (overheating). Well Artos and I were speaking of it last night, and he went online and got the 'stat for me already - going to install it this weekend. *happy sigh* That Rogue is gonna spoil me, I just know it. :D

ok, off to the store for a bit - see y'all soon! :smooch: :grouphug:

[Margaret]

/me looks around for Cass... has anybody heard an update on Poppet yet? I'm concerned for the wee one.

Nope, Cass has not popped in yet. Poor sick munchkins :cry:

I have to run off to a quick meeting, so I will be back - Yay for mother-in-laws!! Thanks for the things to try on the chat stuff Phee!

[Apropos]

Morning everyone. Hopefully the morning rush will pass and the boys AND the bosses will be gone so I can play today. I just got in and am ready to go home and back to bed. I saw the weather for the Friday and Saturday, and we are suppose to get 6-10 inches of snow. Another frellin blizzard. Is it Spring yet???

[Lady Sarah]

then you'll really hate me Ap, when I say that we're supposed to hit the low 70's today and continue the warming trend into the weekend.

On a good note, I got another chemise knocked out last night. Now to get those skirts whipped into shape.

[Lucy]

Good Morning ladies, how's everyone else's day so far??

[Lucy]

BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cassandra from VTRF]

-sits down and gets comfy-

Poppet still have a very runny nose, nd sounds all stuffed up. She was up at 6:30 this morning. Very very quiet, and not moving around much. I am hoping that she kicks what ever this is today.

I still have the stuffy head thing going on, but have been doing my 'chores' I still have to clean the living room, and kep going on the laundry, but I just feel like crap.

The great part is that I had a 2 1/2 hour conversation with a friend that totally lifted my spirits! (just like you guys did last night. my sides hurt from laughing so hard)

Aww Cass.. I;m glad you had fun last night - I know I sure did! Perhaps it helped ease your worry a tad over Poppet.

Sawah - low 70's?????????????????????? Make room, girl - I';m movin in!

Mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We miss you!!!!! And yeah - tell me about the SAHM thing... sheesh. Working Mother is soooooo redundant, too. I did the SAHM thing for 6 years, and I loved every minute. I'm remembering how much now - being off work as I am. Now I just gotta win that lottery so I can do it again.

Sewing Queens here - I feel so bad - I have to get an outfit together for the end of the month, and I don';t even have the fabric yet... just the patterns. :sigh: I'm hopeless.

/me sits on the comfy couch, humming Masochism Tango........

[Lady Sarah]

Way to go Sarah!! :) *hugglez* How are ya luv??? I feel like I haven't talked to you in a while... lol. Oh...BTW, I'm STILL working on altering the doublet :irked:

I'm... here. it's one of those days.

Ap, bite me, you know I like it when you do that.

Phee, c'mon down. You'll have to share the bunk space with the sewing machine and my fabric stash which mysteriously exploded all over the spare room last night in my hunt for the burgundy fabric... And I'll get that Coca-Cola fabric to you as soon as I can. I've got several mailings that have to go out, so I'll send it then.

AM, you know you're gonna get dragged into any 'fight' between us, right? No use hiding in a corner.

[WenchyMom]

I'm stuck!! I can't see anything beyond Page 64!! What am I doing wrong, I can see anything but not on the magic bus.

::Beats on the magic bus doors:: Let me in!! PLEASE!

[Phoenix McHeit]

Uhm.. Sawah-love... it was the ghosties, not the Coke. Unless you were able to alter them to fit correctly?

Mommy, you're here - we see you. This thread has that trouble. It takes sometimes up to 5 posts for the new page to show. Just hit 'reply' and scroll thru em. Oh yeah - and allow it to run through to show your post before you hit 'back' or 'refresh'. That's what I do, anyway - seems to work, even if it is a tad hassle-ish.

Heeeeeeeere Kibbey Kibbey Kibbey... /me dangles NON-sparkley string, watching warily for Sawah & her Talons of Death.

[WenchyMom]

Yep now I can see everything. So .... what are we doing?

[Lady Sarah]

Uhm.. Sawah-love... it was the ghosties, not the Coke. Unless you were able to alter them to fit correctly?

and that would be my Inner Blonde rearing her ugly head.... 'scuse me a moment...

/me slips beind a door and proceeds to beat the crap out of said Inner Blonde...

ahem, right... I know which one it is, honest. I've even got your name and address pinned to it.

[Branwen]

One has GOT to love South Texas weather. First it droops down to the 20's and then less than a weeks time it jumps up to the 70's. Here in San Antonio we are expecting sunny skies, with temps in the low to mid 70's. Spring & Fall are the best. Summer is a completly different story however.

[Phoenix McHeit]

/me stands at closed door, wincing, listening to Inner Blonde screams emanating from within.

Yipe! Sheesh I'm glad I'm on her *good* side.

*giggle*

Glad you and the poppet are doing better. The colds will pass and the other stuff will work it's way out. I am glad you were able to talk to your friend, and happier that it helped you too. ~big hug~

[WenchyMom]

freaking thread doesn't like I swear. Well okay maybe I'm taking it personally. lol

Sarah - *snicker* Hey, I've avoided the whole weather thing lately. If they hate you, I'll be bombed by snow in not time *quickly ducks*

Appie - If were lining up for spankings then ...... *listens to voice off stage* ..... oh, um........ biting that is......... err......... can I volunteer for Po's melted chocolate service instead?

*looks for bruises on Sarah's inner blond* Huh....no scars........good job!

On the thread thing..........ladies, take a look at the line where it says www.wench.org/forums/ and all that other stuff.......... see the number at the end? That's the post the page should start with. Just change that number up by 5 or 10 and you'll see everything.........

[Adriana Rose]

Click on the little paper next to the last past that norammly works with me!!


Jeepers and I think that the temps pushing 45 is a good thing but the January thaw is starting...... just enough warmth to give us hope than it dives back to below zero...

[WenchyMom]

So...Now I'm just sitting around. Doing laundry and such.

[Bonnie Strangeways]

It's my FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!! ::happy dance:: I get to fly to California tomorrow, where it's expected to be mid-60's all weekend! (to me, that's perfect, I donna like the heat!)

OK Babies............ They are predicting a winter storm to hit my area this weekend..... your assignment for this evening is to point out one GOOD thing about winter weather and help me get through it!!

MY favorite thing about a good snow storm..........on a weekend...........is the excuse to ford up in the house with my bubby! I am kinda looking forward to being housebound for the weekend!!

/me dreams about naked scrabble and hot chocolate with lots of whipped cream!!!

going to the grocery store to stock up on goodies for the snowy weekend!!

and I'm with you Ria. hot chocolate on a cold winter's night. Hmmmm... I see a Chantico in my future this weekend!

One good thing about winter? You already mentioned it in less words: curling up under a blanket, either on the sofa or in a bed or something such, with the SO and either tea or hot chocolate, whiling the day or night away...
