Happy Monday
by My company moved from the 3rd floor to the 1st over the weekend. This is like our 5th move in the same building. We're in a very very tight space now. Basically, we can't hire any new employees or they'll have to sit in closets or something. hehe
In other news, this site's pretty dead recently, huh?

ok ian, im sorry to post this in here but i had to....I LOATHE THE PATRIOTS!!! UGH they beat out my chargers!!! UGH
they blew that game just like the giants blow every game. If that idiot didn't give up that penalty for the first down they would have had it, as well as the botched interception and most of all the punt return (HORRENDOUS). They had that game, now you know how a giant fan feels.
UGH i know...and the field goal....UGH that whole game was WRONG!!!
oh yeah i forgot the retarded time out calling in the 4th and the idiotic challenge he did. If they didnt waste the time outs they could have had mroe time to get farther down field and even possibly get a touchdown. I was very frustrated watching that game. From the opening they looked like they were going to dominate, and brady even gave up 3 int and they still lost. DOH
anyone watching 24? is it me or is it getting beyond predictable
i decided to give up on 24 this year... :/
yeah im starting to give up on a bunch of shows, numbers got old real quick
i still like it because jack is such an insane character and i'm always cracking up.
he jugulared him!
he went all hannibal lechter on him
that was pretty gruesome. but yet i have to chuckle at the outrageousness of it all. however, last night was the first time i've ever seen jack even seem to care about someone's pain that was being tortured. i can't wait to see the part on that they show in a preview where he has some guy by the throat...
Guy: you're hurting me.
Jack: Trust me, I'm not.
gotta love it.
careful, you bunch of spoilers!
By the way, Magnum, I believe he de-jugulared him.
all i know is i would have screamed like a little girl instead of just taking it
it's hard to scream when teeth are lodged in your vocal cords. Believe me. I've tried.
my favorite things about last nights show
1. the BITING
2. not giving jack a chance to eat or shower, just a metal bowl for chips and dip
3. making jack button his top button so he looked like Monk
4. making brillo-head from ally mcbeal wear some shoes
5. i could finally stop boycotting the chinese and eat some chinese food
I can't believe it's the middle of January already. I wonder if we'll make it though this winter without a serious amount of snow on the ground...
i think we're getting your weather...its been in the 30's and LOTS AND LOTS of fresh powder in our mountains....even in the 909! UGH
it really is crazy.. too mcuh rain, i don't like it :(
seriously :/ i want to drive my car already, putting way to many miles on the tahoe
And the rain is super cold! It feels cold enough to snow, but it's not. I was just walking back into my building from the parking garage and a couple rain drops got in my eyes - they felt like icicles! I was knocked back a little. It's bone-chilling.
hows it going at dunder miflin?
What?
you know michael scott, come on pa lady the office laugh i say
Oh sorry, I don't watch that show. I'm out of the loop.
it's 70 degrees here. I love it but it is so scary at the same time. I think i've said this before.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcxhOGyrCtI
wow. When domestic cats attack. Crazy.
actually, I was cracking up after watching this. It seems so ominous.
lol. i want my 38 seconds back
Wooow, Paula Abdul.. she's gone man. Goooone
oh, man. i almost didn't make it all the way through. that was painful. i don't know if it was a medication issue or just plain overindulgence in alcohol, but wow. crazy. the reporters handled it very well though.
hahaaha Don't mix mojitos and happy pills or whatever she did. What were they thinking letting her go on like that? I guess they were all potted on her end, otherwise they'd call the whole satellite thing off.
I went to pick up my books yesterday for school and one of them was "White Noise". I don't know anything about that but I got totally freaked out when I saw that I'm supposed to read that for my Modern American Fiction Class because I remember they made a movie on it not too long ago, which I thought was totally demo..
see....you guys dont beleive me when i say its cold here:
Cold snap zaps Orange County
Temperatures to fall into 30s tonight and Saturday.
By GARY ROBBINS
The Orange County Register
Orange County's coastal plains could experience patches of frost tonight and Saturday night as a blast of Alaskan air moves through the region, the National Weather Service says.
Overnight temperatures the next two days will be in the mid-to-low 30s across much of the county and could drop to 29 degrees in canyon areas protected from the winds. Cold air is heavy and tends to sink to the surface of the Earth.
Forecasters said there's a slim chance that the county will get brief showers today. But the storm clouds will disappear by early Saturday and a mild Santa Ana condition will develop, producing 30 mph gusts inland and 15 mph to 20 mph gusts near the coast. The humidity level inland could fall below 20 percent.
The weather service says that the combination of low humidity, dry, cold air, moderate winds and a lack of rain raise the prospect of wildfires across Orange County.
The storm that preceded the cold air Thursday barely budged the seasonal rainfall total, which stands at just over an inch, three inches below normal for this time of the year.
Hey the funky fresh got engaged in Belize...
I need a nanny....
as long as it isn't anyone from Fushing, oiy veh! :-)
Where is Fushing? Or do you mean Flushing, NY?
Haha...If I had a nanny that looked like Fran Drescher, I'd marry her. LOL!
hey she was hot. had an good body...she just had an annoying voice....but still
I'm seriously considering hiring someone. It's getting to be too much for me. And Emily is not doing well in school with her behavior so I've been forced to leave work a lot.
Has anyone ever gone to an allergist before? I stayed home sick yesterday because I felt so crappy so I think it might be time to get those horrible shots. I got the name of an allergist from my regular doctor, but are there any tests that a good allergist should definitely perform (or not perform)? I don't know how to judge if I'm getting the best care.
i go to an allergist and get shots twice a week. and yes you get tested...on your back...there's about 100 up and down your back.
*the shots dont hurt
I've actually never had the scratch tests done on my back, I've had it done twice on my arms, though.
yeah the second time i had it on my arms.
Twice a week for how long?
there are certain levels you reach....it all depends on your immunity.
I love you all.
Why? We suck. Hahahaha....
wow chris just showed me this, one of his co-workers apparently sent it to him and it's a site that compares different Bible translations
so chris told his coworker to look up psalms 83:18
http://bible.cc/psalms/83-18.htm
and another good one
http://bible.cc/isaiah/43-10.htm

6/10 on Ps 83:18. Nice!

we should make an eZabel event to see a game...
whoa, finally a US team with a good player. I miss the Man Utd days tho. But maybe footy will actually start getting broadcasted on regular channels now, and broadcast at the time they're actually played instead of weeks or months later.
I KNOW! im REALLY stoked. im not THAT into soccer but i do catch it from time to time....but i'll be a reg to watch DB. LOL
*they play them on the sports channels....esp the spanish stations
Money is not my motive - Beckham hahaha funny
"Beckham announced on Thursday he will join LA Galaxy in August
David Beckham insists his move to LA Galaxy is not financially driven.
The 31-year-old will earn a reported £128m over five years after agreeing to leave Real Madrid for the Major League Soccer side at the end of the season."
lol, it's so true. for some reason using calculators to spell words was the best thing ever.
Cingular Wireless is full of retards...
during a comment on the service meeting last night i had to repeat myself 3 times and the brother still couldn't understand what i was saying. stupid congestion.
Maybe it was the accent. :)
ha no no. he also said he had a hard time hearing me during my talk. my head is so congested that i am having trouble with volume. also, the brothers in our hall have a policy that they don't adjust the sound during the meeting. they just turn it on and off at the end and play the songs throughout.
that sounds like a dumb policy. isn't that why we have microphones, so we can hear everyone. maybe they are too busy (not enough brothers) to handle this little thing.
i am under the impression that it is because we don't have enough qualified brothers.
You only need one brother to control the sound and one or two to walk around with microphones. I think even KH's in Zimbabwe have that many. haha...
You forgot about Stage mics
doh
Come to our Hall
hmm so they don't turn down the mics when adjusting them? that's kinda noisey no?
ha yes yes it is. you get used to it after a while though.
ok so i took my niece to see justin timberlake last night in concert. i must say he puts on one heck of a show. not one single thing alluding to the "boy band" lameness. we really had an awesome time dancing around and enjoying the show.
niece, yeah sure, it was just you in your jt tshirt screaming like a little girl

you might seriously have to sell all three to afford this thing, $599 + 2 year cingular/att contract.
one of our IT guys here mentioned that stock went up to almost $80 a share cause of this bad boy.
Apple was at 90 a share in October went down to 80s in November, has been climbing up again tho from that. It's at 90 again. Was only 50 in June. I'm sure that made some millionaires recently.
Imagine people that bought Google only 2 years ago for 60 and now have shares worth over 400 a pop! Woooooweeee!

so, Betty White was on Leno last night.
I love Betty White.
Anyway Chris and I were saying, how is it that she looks the same as she did in 1990, she was old looking 17 years ago and she still looks exactly the same. I don't get it. And so today i Googled her. And she was old looking even back in the 70's. So again I was baffled. But then I realized she was born in 1922. So even 20 years ago, she was in her 60's. Even 35 years ago, she was in her 50's. So, that explains it.
Having said that, she's awesome. I can't believe she's like 85 and still kickin and sharp and funny as ever!
having said that, what "starlet" of today do you think is gonna still have a career at age 85? Who is still gonna be alive at age 85? Who is gonna live past 35 is an even better question.
I give Lohan another year.
Spears another .. month
Paris.. she is on borrowed time already
didnt betty white have plastic surgery?
Hmm. Tough one. I think Scarlet Johannsen and Charlize Theron have a chance at a "lifetime career."
oooh true true!! Scarlet already has such a classic look and style. I love her.
i have the song we walked into the wedding stuck in my head. go by will.i.am. we were all dancing in the hallway before we went in. so much fun!
heading out for Mikayla's knee surgery! hope everything goes well
Oh man I hope everything goes well ian!
i'm praying for ya, bro
Let us know if you need anything! I could fedex some vegetarian yummies...
wow, send our regards. hope all goes well
tell her i send my love and support!
thanks everybody!
everything went well, and she's home sleeping right now :)
good to hear, thanks, ian!
I hope she recovers ok. I know how painful the process of healing from reconstructive knee surgery can be. Play the Rocky IV soundtrack for her while she does physical therapy. That's good motivation music. :o)
Does she have to use that machine that bends her knee for her? That's what I used for the first 3 weeks after surgery while I was home from work.
Thanks :)
She's in a full leg cast for the next week or two, so she's not doing anything yet.... we'll see what kind of therapy they have her doing once it comes off
Oh. I guess since it was the knee cap and not a muscle or ligament, that it needs to sit for a little bit. I didn't have a cast. They stapled the wound shut and I was told to put it in the knee-bender machine right away. Taking a shower was brutal. I slipped once...I think I screamed like a little girl. Haha...
Wow, that sounds horrible... :( I hope she can tough it out..
She had the ligaments on her knee fixed up, and also part of the bone of her shin moved. She's got screws now!
I have screws too. It's always fun going through a medal detector. I guess the cast is there because the shin was fixed too. Man, she really got roughed up! If it heals properly it'll all be worth it.
What an evil comment "if it heals properly"
Well, there are instances where the doctor screws up.
Do the screws really give you trouble in metal detectors? The Dr. said it wouldn't...
I had mine done before 9/11, 11/3/00 to be exact. So maybe before that they didn't care if they were metal.
OMG IAN, im so sorry....i didnt even see this musing. Im stoked to hear that all went well tho!!!
My regards
YAY it's gonna get chilly which means SNOW! Me+snow=Poconos =)

oh yeah its very good.
STOMP THE YARD Saturday Jan 13th (since Friday Meeting) WOOT!
my friend is going bonkers for us to see this!! it seems to me like a remixed you got served, but i know i still have to go see it.
wow, crazy afternoon in service getting chased around town by an angry husband (not mine)
what??? details
the sister i was working with had an appt to do a study with a woman who lives down the block from me. the woman was so nervous (her husband screamed on another occasion that the sister was there) and was like 'i can't do this, my husband is going to be home any minute. you have to leave.' well he pulls up just as we are backing out of his driveway. we saw him whip his truck around to follow us. We went down this long, windy, heavily wooded, sparcely populated road that goes around the lake. We couldn't stop there so the whole time we were trying to figure out what to do (i don't know about her and her daughter but i was praying). we thought about going to the police station but there are 2 cops in town and they were probably at Cumby's eating donuts. so we decided to go to her house where her husband and a couple of other brothers were working although we weren't sure leading him to where she lived was the best idea but we didn't know how long he would keep following us. plus jesse nicholson was one of the guys at the house (and if you know him you know why we would run towards him)so it seemed our saftest option, plus if necessary we could have him hauled off for trespassing. She pulled toward the back of property and he followed. He freaked out at her and said he called the cops (right)and blah blah stupid tirade blah-did i mention he was completely toothless? he left after the confrontation which wasn't as scary as being followed by him and not knowing what to do. the reasoning book never covered that one.
wow, that guy's crazy. poor woman. :(
glad you guys made it out okay! :)
thanks-i feel bad for the woman too. it's obvious that he is abusive to her in some way b/c she is such a wreck. what a redneck loser.
OMG hun, thats FREAKY!!!! im glad you guys are safe.
yeah, i guess it's time to update the ol' Reasoning book with
Conversation Stoppers-
"I'm toothless"
"I chase people for fun"
"I'm a redneck"
