Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Frustrated . I'm trying to find a dinning room table and chairs for under 450 dollars that isn't a piece crap and is counter highth like my wife wants. GRRRRRRR.
The Doctor Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Exhausted and stressed from the long drives to and from southern Iowa, and dodging the crossfire of my wife's disfunctional siblings. For those of you unfimiliar with the plight of being the in-law, it's very much like being a red-shirted crewman from the original Star Trek series in the episode "Devil in the Dark"... There you are, wandering about, thinking yourself sufficiently armed, when you hear an odd sound. Then, WHAMMO!!! You've been blindsided, scorched to a crisp, wondering what hit you and why. Wash, rinse, repeat for 3 bloody days. Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 I never thought of it like that. That's a great analogy.

Mate I dont know about there but here the new rage is dining room table and chairs that are all up there like bar stool heighth and the table is high as well it's so convenient to sit at play at and when servinf no bending over right nice thought someone had. Look inot high chairs and High table! and look for floor displays in stores! Touch somebody you don't know today with a smile.
Bunnycutlass Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I am still sick. Been sick for a month and a half now. Went to Urgent care last night and apparently I have a chest infection. No pneumonia, No Flu, No Bronchitis..CHEST INFECTION! So, I was given antibotics, a decongestant and supposed to feel better in about three days! WHERE WAS THIS STUFF A MONTH AGO! Sigh, please let me feel better by tomorrow... I can't take this for too much longer! Bunny Cutlass
The Doctor Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Terribly amused. My former team just realised that I'm no longer able (nor inclined) to wipe their snotty little noses for them, and they actually have to think for themselves! Frankly, I'm delighted to be shed of that intellectual flea circus. Now, where'd I leave that rum? Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
CaptainCiaran Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Bunny, lots of folks been havin' that stuff this winter...me sister included. The key, in addition to the antibiotics, is to REST. Get lots of sleep and take it easy, luv. I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map. -- Loreena McKennitt My fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime. -- Stan Rogers I don't pretend to be captain weird.

Red-Handed Jill Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I'm feeling discouraged. I'm looking for a job and keep getting calls and e-mails for similar jobs to the job I was doing, but I left it for a reason (several reasons, actually.) There are other things I am qualified to do and want to do, but it's tough to get back into them since my last job was something else. There's nothing more frustrating and ego-destroying than job hunting!

If you have watched Treck since you were a child ...it's hoot! Now, now, Silkie... You're hardly that much older than me. 2 years? Right. I still vividly remember staying up to watch Star Trek as a wee lad. Galaxy Quest was a riot, spoofing Star Trek better than any parody I'd ever seen. :) Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Yeah, and they said Shrek was'n't a satire of Disney either! Capt. Bo
Bunnycutlass Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 I be feelin better today a wee bit. Huzzah antibotics! I can breathe, I am not coughing as much and pretty soon I will be kissable and hugable again! Been told I feel quite nice! Bunny Cutlass
Silkie McDonough Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Now, now, Silkie... You're hardly that much older than me. 2 years? Right. I still vividly remember staying up to watch Star Trek as a wee lad. As do I! That is why Galexy Quest was so funny, because in our house it was an event. EVERYONE watched Star Trek. With repets and spinoffs we still do when we can! Glad you're feeling better Bunny.
LadyBarbossa Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Mad Jack... Where abouts South Iowa did you venture? Interesting that you be usin' Star Trek as an analogy. Many times I've been through Riverside... never been to the Trek Fest there. Town hasn't really change much in 20 years. Doubt it will change when lil' Kirk is born. Welp... ya'll ... I'll put 'n my doubloon's worth here upon how I feels at th' moment. I'm recoverin'... At th' moment... I feel like I can take a WHOLE bunch of 32 pounder cannons to my workplace! Serves 'em right it does! Tis a long story short, let's just say, I was ill with a serious lung inflamation... I had no choice but t' work the whole weekend... and th' end result put me in th' hospital as they were unwillin' t' let me go nor have someone come in or stay, etc... So... here I am, a whole bloody week.. again.. no college classes, no work, no nothing! Seriously.. no nothing! Doctor's orders! It got that bad. Bloody damn devils at work... so.. now they be takin' on the wrath of the Lady Barbossa. It WON'T be pretty! I'm feelin' a wee bit better... I can talk a little better... I can breathe a little better but still difficult at times. Wish I could have a drink o' rum... M' new sloan at th' moment: "Say NO to Drugs... drink Rum instead!" ... ahhh... I tell ya... I DREAM of th' day I can have a good mug o' rum again! MeryD! Ya went t' see Toby Keith?! Without me?!?! Well... tis ok. I doubt I could o' gone. Hope ya had a blast! St Paddy's Day, m'dear! St Paddy's Day! tis a comin' up! Oh, what bloody good fun we'll have! Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Sealegs Constance Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I am feeling very happy. The weekend is finally here and the week from hell is over with. HUZZAH!!!!!!!!!! Sealegs Constance I am what I am
Rumba Rue Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Oh dear, Lady Barbossa do get well soon! Here's a fine basket of flowers to help cheer you up! I'm doing good myself (for a change) and am going to spend the day and the rest of the weekend cleaning my home, that my cats and birds have so nicely spread their food and stuff around.
The Doctor Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 A bit less like an emotional piñata than I did earlier in the week. :) Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Silkie McDonough Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I'm feeling fine now that I've read Lady Barbossa post! I've had employers like that. Take a good look at your livelihood. I changed fields and although I now make half the wages i am much happier ...all be it land locked (can't afford to travel much) Hope you are feeling much better very soon! I'm doing well thank you. Recovering from my surgery on my left hand (carpal tunnel) not needing the pain meds, stitches coming out on Monday. life is good. Now ask me again in a few weeks when I get the surgery done on my right hand ...my dominant hand. You can ask but i can guarantee, typing a response will take MUCH longer.
Rumba Rue Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 I've had surgery on both hands for carpal tunnel. It took a bit, but I can do all that I could before. No problems.
LadyBarbossa Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Thank ye most kindly, RumbaRue. Most kind of ye. I'm a prayin' heavily I won't be fallin' under the nasty flu bug! Tha' darned vermin! ahh... pirate felines are a joy, agreed? Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
LadyBarbossa Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Oh, Rumba!... that... is PRICELESS! :) Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
