edna Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 ^ Hey, I have 27002 with this one... Thanks for your bows, Ry, but I don´t deserve them at all. I posted a lot in the first two years. I was a happy hyperactive housewife working at home and throwing mini-parties with my close friends. Now I work at an office so I have less time. And more complications in real life too... Life is amazing, even with its ups and downs. V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 ^ Definitely, and it sure beats the alternative > I am hoping to finish my Christmas shopping this weekend, but it doesn't look promising!

Shawna Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 ^ Nope. I'm feeling content, relaxed, and a little guilty. > Amazing weekend this weekend. It was the most fun I've had in a long while, and boy howdy did I pay for it yesterday. V Does the day after-feeling ever negate the fun you had the night before?

JackieBlue Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 ^Absolutely NOT! >Tis the season so FUN it UP!!! v Have you ever gone out for the evening and had sooooo much fun, lost track of time and had to go right to work in the same party outfit with NO sleep?

Shawna Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 ^ yes, back in the day. > These days I'm too old to do stuff like that and survive. Although I admit Saturday did come very close to it. If we hadn't had a hotel room for the 45 minutes of sleep we did get, I'd have been wearing the same clothes for 2 days. V Do you tend to gain the requisite 9-13 pounds average during the holiday season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieBlue Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 ^Oh yes my friend! It's so very hard not to: cookies and cakes and pies OH MY!!! > I just love the holiday season spending time with family and friends! v Come January 1 will you set the perverbial New Years Resolution for yourself? If so what will it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Ry 71 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 ^ There are no true resolutions. < Kites fly very beautifully in air. I happen to enjoy the nice crisp breeze, Gentle swaying and changes of movement Up there in that artificial airplane. Up ‘til a bleedin' storm suddenly shows, Surprising all and burning that poor kite To death with its quick servant, the lightning. ‘Tis indeed bitterness I have felten. However, this unpractical b****in’ Has nothing to do with our discussion. v Do you own a nutcracker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 ^ No. But I am related by marriage to a couple of them. > I prefer my nuts already cracked. V You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 ^ I don´t like nuts. I like pistaccios though... but the just the flavour. Aren´t you very sleepy and want to leave work right now and go home? V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 ^ stop reading my mind, Edna > If we weren't having our department Christmas luncheon today, I would have absolutely nothing to look forward to today. V Does your workplace participate in Secret Santa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieBlue Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 ^ No one has mentioned it yet so I guess not. > Geeze I'm tryin so hard not to complain but good golly Ms. Molly I really don't like snow and it's coming down in buckets right now! v Do you usually buy your boss a gift? If so what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 ^ We usually all chip in and get her a gift basket, so we're doing the same thing this year. > It's a little harder this year, because we lost a couple of people (they got promoted, one within the department and one to another department), so there's less money going into the gift pool. V What are you most looking forward to in the new year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieBlue Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 ^I am looking forward to a fresh start, a new renovated kitchen, and most importantly SPRING!!! >As she stands there singing for money..La day de la day da, (sorry can't get that song outta me head) v Do the holidays usually get you stressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 ^ No. Unless we have a dinner on Friday night, a trip to see the in-laws on Saturday, a party on Saturday night, lunch with friends on Sunday, a movie and back home on Sunday night to find out I didn´t have time to be lazy... And you? V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieBlue Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 ^Yeah I tend to get stressed there is so much to do and I don't understand for the life of me why I get myself so worked up, the holidays roll around same time every year...bad time management skills I guess v Is this the time of year where you more think of others than you do yourself?

Shawna Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 ^ Sadly, that is how I am pretty much all year. > I am learning, however, to be more selfish... and I'm finding I'm a very good student. V Do financial stresses get you down at Christmastime? Or are you rich enough to buy something for everybody you want to without worrying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 ^ I still owe a friend of mine a birthday gift from August... and one in September. < so... um... no v What kind of gifts do you normally give your friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 ^ No gifts at all. < In my experience it's girls who exchange gifts, much more than boys... I only buy things for my family. v Do you and your friends exchange gifts for birthdays and christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 ^ I was going to say "No" but it´s rather a "yes"... I usually get presents from my family and friends for my birthday and Christmas. When I have money I buy presents to everyone I love any day of the year. Same question V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Ry 71 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 ^ Don't hang out with my friends much. < Well, okay. Today me & a friend of mine taped an ultra-dorky film that didn't have any read plotline. v Have you ever done something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 ^ yes. > When I was about 6, me and all the neighborhood kids would get together and "write" and "act" plays that we'd invite all our parents to see (which they, of course, always did) and we had the audacity to charge 25 cents apiece. V Do you sometimes wish you still had the innocence of youth, or are you happy you're an adult with all the inherent responsibilities, yet all the liberties, that allows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 ^ Both. Sometimes I feel like childhood living is easy to do, I miss my dad, school, gandparents, home, etc... other times I admit real life is very exciting for me with its challenges and efforts and so... I love it, adult life has many tricks to be happy... What do yout think? V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieBlue Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 ^I have to agree and say both as well. YET on the flip side of that being a grown up does allow you certain liberties and perks if you will. Geeze I wish there could be a more happy medium. v What age if any do you wish you could go back to and why OR are you just fine exactly where you're at??

Uncle Joe Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 ^ At 61 I realize that I'm on the downside of my life. Physically I cannot do the things I once did with ease. The ravages of time and illness are catching up with me. Yet I've accumulated so many wonderful memories and accomplishmensts with which I'd never want to part. While I've lost so many friends and family members (and the list grows daily) I have to tell you I wouldn't trade knowing my two grandaughters for all the time in the world. I want to be here as long as Joann is with me. < Yes, enjoy and treasure your youth but look forward to the rewards of a full, long life as well. "To every thing there is a season." I'd gladly repeat the whole thing over and over again. v Still, you'd like to do some things differently if the opportunity presented itself.

edna Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 ^ Maybe one or two things would slightly change... or maybe I won´t give this guy my number this time... UncleJoe, you´re a good man (plus wise and funny and other vertues you already know)... the kind of man most of us would want to be friends with. You´re blessed with a lovely little family but also with a brain that lets you look at life calmly, from a wise point of view and you know where real happiness is. If all men were like you there would hardly be wars in the world. You´d love to be like UncleJoe when you´re his age. V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
