WLT: Be a school reunion special?

[Bullbound]

The WLT & Way of the Willet Theme Song Combo

We'll be posting till the morning wait and see,
And we'll make them as confusing as can be,
There'll be nonesense and Outsanity,
To confuddle all humanity,
This Thread is mad so post along with me.

We'll be scoffing all the cookies we can see,
And we'll eat as many chocolates as can be,
There'll be thong talk and Outsanity,
And a general dose of vanity,
This Thread is now as sturdy as a tree.

With a question then an answer then a quote,
We will keep this thread as bouyant as a boat,
No KT member will be safe,
If they enter our little space,
We will capture them within the words we wrote.

When your naff boss really seems to get your goat,
We will make you laugh quite heartily from the throat,
No simple message will be safe,
In this double entendre space,
As we quote and chat and generally gloat.

What is this total chaos you may ask,
And what is this strange threads overriding task?
It's to talk for far too long,
To make our droll w**k speed along,
The Willets ways are here to always last!

What is this thread in question you may ask,
And what is this strange threads overriding task?
It's to make a thread so long,
That the world will sing along,
World's Longest Thread is here to always last!

The World's Longest Thread FAQS

[Welcome! Wilkommen! Bienvenue! Bienvenida! Fáilte! Sdrasvitye! Kia Ora! Croeso! Tervetuloa! To The World's Longest Thread!

A question that us regular posters, Willeteers as we’ve come to be known, here on the WLT are often asked is 'whuh?' Well, it's quite simple really. . .

So how'd this all start?

The World's Longest Thread dates back to the beginning of the WoAM KTBB, a bulletin board not dissimilar to this one, where it began its existence as a humble but effective exercise in post count uppage and random emoticon posting :crazy: :evil: :p The original WLT was over 100 pages in length, causing that bulletin board to crash and bringing the wrath of the PowersThatBe. Those-who-must-be-obeyed decreed that no Willet on that site could be more than 15 pages. Doing this also gives us the chance to dream up interesting or amusing names for each new WLT. As you can tell (check our WLT History Page (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/wlthistory.html) to see), we don't always manage it, but it's the thought that counts.

What do we post here?

Well, likesay, it started off as random smilies and such, but like any good viral infection, it's diversified and evolved since then. Some people come here to post little details from their life, let off steam about their unworthy employers, or share funny things they heard or saw. Others come here to trade witticisms, brag about how much dosh they made on Celebdaq, or post their most recent high score at this week's fashionable Flash-based internet game (Run Escape! for example) that the world will have forgotten in a month (anyone remember that game from last month?). Yet others come here to call Anonew 'Gwyneth' and generally annoy him cough*Jayson*cough. Or to watch the WLT renowned Kitty & Jayson Show. It's very much a case of post what you want, when you want.

To enhance your posting enjoyment please feel free to use this devilishly fiendish piece of programming from Anonew :cool: (http://earth.prohosting.com/dartga/kt_ciser.html) just click the smilie , a tool most useful in making your drivel appear pretty. However, you'll receive complaints if you do this too often, since it messes up the formatting of the archived versions (don't even ask -- there are some things you'll learn as you go).

What's the deal with all the poems?

At some point in the past, it was decided that whoever made the first post on a new page, with the exception of page 1 and page 15, would have to post a page starting poem. This was generally kinda cool, but for those unlucky enough to get stung with a poem five or six times in a row (it happened) it was a bit onerous, to which end Anonew came up with The WLT Poem Generator (http://earth.prohosting.com/dartga/poemgen.html) which, despite some controversy, takes 99% of the effort out of doing page starting poems, if so wanted. No-one’s looking for Shakespeare after all. Of course there’s also the much copied classic from Kitster, the "innit" poem which shall be a treasured memory for many years (or hours at least!) FAQ’s, Innit!

There is also a traditional poem that appeared on each page 15 (along with the lengthy tale "The Curse of the Unfinished Willet") which can be found in our off-site archives (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/).

Some folk in doing the poems for so long on WoAM, became a wee bit weary of trying to find rhymes for some of the pages, like seven and eleven and so, some of the most ancient willeteers were granted not only exemption from doing so but also the almighty power to grant immunity to others; you can read more about this on our Poem Immunity Page (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/nktimmunities.html).

Page starting poems, following a brief period of banning due to excessive length and copyright breachment have been re-established in this new forum and we do find that upon starting a page, if you wish to stand up and recite poetry to us or your friend/lodger/cat/coffee cup* (*Delete as appropriate) this is perfectly acceptable and often rather therapeutic, so long as they are no longer than say, twelve lines, and original in content! Alternatively a random factoid, a link, a personal fact, or joke can be posted, though this is considered by some as the boring and uninspired way out of a poem corner. Some willeteers also like to intersperse non-page-starting poems or quote song lyrics: this is usually considered alright, if they're only snippets and not epics, and their authors are properly credited within the post. Unfortunatly due to a recent abuse of poemage in the WLT, the hosties have decreed that only page starting poems are to be posted. All other poetry should be in the appropriate forum. However, should you be the lucky one to start a page and either ignore or not realize that fact, and the page ends without appropriate poemage being offered, you will be subject to dire consequences, the likes of which are too ugly to describe in this nice, polite FAQ document.

Okay, got that. Now what's all these stats and the really long poem at the beginning?

The long poem at the beginning is basically the WLT National Anthem and should appear in the first post of every WLT. No ifs, no buts, just do it! It can also be found in the off-site archives (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/). Near the start of each new Willet, we post the stats from the last one, including the number of posts made by each individual willeteer and also the ongoing stats. A list of people who've started a WLT and how many they've done are included and almost of most importance, a list of the number of pages and posts from the start of the WLT. It is the World's Longest Thread after all. . . We need this as proof!

Why?

It's an expression of everyone's inner nerd, probably. It's also a huge pain in the neck - almost everyone complains about doing them but secretly loves doing so! Make sure you’ve mastered copy and paste before you start a Willet! And please -- if you know that you'll be logging off or have no desire to start a Willet, do not post within the last 10 lines of page 15 of any WLT. Of course, if you've not participated in at least two previous Willets, you're not eligible to start one, so don't even think of it.

Newbie pot? Cushion?

Simply, this is the initiation ceremony for new Willeteers. For the duration of your first WLT, you will be thrown in the newbie pot (take a hot bath of stew in other words). For your second WLT, you're a cushion. After that -- and only after that, you're eligible to compete to be a WLT-starter (yes, a daunting task, but we even have an Instruction Page (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/wlt_start.html)) And please don't feel self-conscious about your trip into the newbie pot -- you'll find that willeteers are always getting wet, whether by jumping into the duck pond or hot tub, or getting dowsed with a bucket of water.

This affects me how?

Not at all. We're not some kinda bizarre clique of weirdos here (except in the sense that we blatantly are) so you can either post a few 'splash splash' type posts, or just breeze on past this thread in search of your favourite bonding or some serious discussion on which colour of dragon is most likely to hatch from an egg of indeterminate size but kept three degrees warmer than the others!

Smart operators will already have discerned that the initiation can be avoided by waiting until near the end of page 15, making one 'Hi I'm posting here' type post, thereby cutting out the entire newbie pot stage in a fell swoop of timing (or something). But be warned: the WLT has a habit of generating new traditions at the drop of a hat. Never think yourself safe!

Ketchup? Is this a diner?

No, though we often post about food and reading the WLT may make you extremely hungry. Quite a lot of the posts generated here are done when people log into the forums, and catch up with the progress of the WLT, usually by quoting lots of people's posts and responding. Catch up aka Ketchup, Cat Poop, Catching Hoops or some other such expression is the terminology used by all the Willeteers who enjoy this willet tradition.

Suppose I'm enjoying myself and want to go past the 15th page?

We really wouldn't recommend that. In fact, it's actually considered to be illegal and immoral -- at least in our somewhat skewed world view. Any posts beyond page 15 do not count in the running totals, and may result in bad-tempered reactions from other willeteers, ranging from sharp bites to a stint in the stocks, with other posters throwing rancid and rotten objects at you (also the punishment for those who post enough in one Willet to annoy others and bring complaints of how fast it went and how much ketchup resulted). If you value your limbs and clean clothing, remember this: Fifteen is thine magic number: the number shalt be fifteen. Thou shalt not stop at fourteen nor proceed to sixteen, but achieve the number fifteen in its fulfillment!

Is this thread anything to do with ClanFiend?

Not in and of itself, no. However, scientists working in a shed in East Sussex recently calculated that at its present rate of growth, by 2010 everything in the world will have something to do with ClanFiend, so don't hold your breath. For those who have still got no idea what we’re talking about and are now in deeper confuddlement with the mention of ClanFiend, check the ClanFiend Info Page! (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/clanfiend.html)

Anything else I oughta know?

Probably, but we've been typing for ages now, so that's your lot, nearly. . .

We have just enough typing ability left to say:
’We hope your enjoy your visit here at the WLT. Please note that toilet facilities are located at the rear of the building, but due to budget cutbacks and no-one being bothered, these haven't been cleaned since 1912. Same deal with the kitchen - last month whatever lives in there nailed the door shut and set up an independent democratic republic.’

Anyhow, enjoy your stay and come back often!

No link from the previous Willet to the current Willet? That's a minus one to the start score, BullboundSon.

The What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get editor, (advanced if you will), puts in unnecessary coding. I don't recommend it, myself. But, to each his or her own.

If you copy/paste from the WLT Starting Guide (http://wltstuff.vexingvixen.net/wlt_start.html) you don't have to worry about the extra coding.
Hmmm. . . I'd better update that to reflect 2008.

right now anything worth the gas to get to it. Gas is up to 3.65 a gallon in my area
That was one of the reasons that I made my first move almost 3 years ago -- the closest moderate-sized grocery stores are 15+ miles away (I keep forgetting Miller's since no other types of stores are nearby). That also means that most jobs are at least that distance away and a good deal of the community commutes an hour or more to jobs.

[Faren]

I think if gas prices continue to rise, we will eventually see a migration AWAY from suburbs and back to the cities. Whether this is a good thing or not...:shrug:

[Faren]

*cold*

Stupid temperature.

[Faren]

Yeah, that's really energy efficient. :roll:

[Cherlyn]

Boo !

Wolfebro, I meant I was sick too . . . again . . . or is it still ? :sick:

The advanced editor where you add the color, size, etc., and not see the code adds too much, most of it is usually redundant,. . . I tend to just copy the words (without quoting) and paste then add my own code (cleaner, and easier to load - the computer doesn't have to read redundant code) I do tend to clean up code when I quote too . . . That is why I can often get away using the quick reply - I can add my own code.

[Cherlyn]

That is why I can use this color even though it isn't on the color chart . . .

[Rabble]

It occurs to me that I'd rather crash on a couch than sleep in a bed with satin sheets... I don't like satin...

[Cherlyn]

Yeah . . . I had a shag hair with the feathering on each side - I loved how that looked . . . this is the pic I gave out and not the one I put in the year book. . . .

[Cherlyn]

It occurs to me that I'd rather crash on a couch than sleep in a bed with satin sheets... I don't like satin...

I can't sleep on flannel either - it catches on my calluses . . . no matter how much lotion I use . . .

Yeah . . . I had a shag hair with the feathering on each side - I loved how that looked . . . this is the pic I gave out and not the one I put in the year book. . . .

Satin is worse for that... and it's WHITE satin sheets...

with a white duvet on top...

At least the mountain of creepy dolls have been removed from the geust room!

[edith]

I have a satiny effect duvet- not shiny satin, just a slightly smoother cotton duvet which is an improvement on the polycotton normal duvet covers

[Cherlyn]

Yeah . . . I had a shag hair with the feathering on each side - I loved how that looked . . . this is the pic I gave out and not the one I put in the year book. . . .

:erm: Da whut? :confused:

In the pic, the layered cut was called a shag and I had the feathered cut above the ears (looked like a bird's wing) - it was grown out a bit but I loved that hairstyle . . . of course that was before I got that witch's streak of gray hair above my right eye at age 18 . . .
The Senior pic was taken at age 16 - I didn't turn 17 until October, after the school year started.

I think if gas prices continue to rise, we will eventually see a migration AWAY from suburbs and back to the cities. Whether this is a good thing or not...:shrug:
Yeah, I wonder that, too... I really would love to live somewhere a bit out of town, with a forest close by, but usually that would mean using your car quite a bit. I'm a greenie so I'm not exactly comfortable with that, but I think I'll still want to live in the country if I can.


I just read in the newspaper a couple of days ago that in the US (I forgot which state exactly) a liter of gasoline costs 0.60 €. If only... I've got a cheap gas station near my flat and it's 1.409 € there.

[Beisla]

We've had amazingly great spring weather this week! :cool:
19 degrees yesterday and 21 today! :good: I've been out in a t-shirt and today I went barefoot at the stables. Oh, I love summer.

I know what you mean, but living in most of the towns around here isn't very cheap. Selinsgrove is a Uni town after all.

As for graduation pics, I don't think I have any from my high school graduation of just me. The only photo I know of is a family portrait. You could always crop them out of the photo.

senior pics? What are they?



oh graduation- but I don't graduate from uni until July! Well High School is what we were talking about. Most people are 17 or 18 years old, so a picture of you at the right age would be good.

1974 and there are no pics. No yearbook. Nothing. okay. Same thing, any photo of you at that age. :evil:

I think I'll be able to find a senior picture. No cap & gown, but still from that time period. :ok:

I have my Senior pic! I have one with Grandma and I with cap and gown, or the formal portrait? I'll use mine as my *Ta Da !* Avatar !
Very nice!
<---mid-80's girl. Can we say BIG HAIR!!!!! Actually, it would be hidden by the cap - sort of. *has mental image of a duck with a big fluffy hair-do*

[Sharon]

right now anything worth the gas to get to it. Gas is up to 3.65 a gallon in my areaIt's about 20 cents more here, in Orange County. In Los Angeles county add 25-30 cents higher than your area.

1. Get Well soon BroWolf, here have a nice big bowl of the Garlicky Chicken soup from the Willet Magic Soup Kettle.
2. I agree too much white. Too sterile, I keep thinking of a scrubbed hospital surgery.
3. Don't talk to me about white streaks. Mother commented today it must have been awhile since I last dyed my hair, my white was showing.

[mawofone]

There is nothing wrong with gray hair. Mine started turning gray when I was 18.
We have NEW puppies. There may be more coming.

[Rabble]

Was I 26 or 27 when I found my first grey hair? :erm: I can't remember!

I wouldn't mind my hair turning either white or grey... however, my mothers' hair went salt-and-pepper. :roll:

I'm not entirely certain how her hair colour is, as she's one of the ones in her 60s' who panics if anyone can see her roots.

It's not like HER AGE wouldn't let them know that her hair isn't the colour she dyes it! :rofl2:

[Kathryn Draconna]

Yeah, but there's no one to share the bed with! :cry:

*pats* poor Rabbles.

Get on MSN.

It's about 20 cents more here, in Orange County. In Los Angeles county add 25-30 cents higher than your area.

We live in farm country... and it's actually cheaper to buy gas in some of the towns and cities in Central PA than it is here in the farm area.

[mawofone]

Hi all.
Rabble my fav. breed of dogs are collies. I would llove to have a blue murle.
Wolfegare get better soon.
It is cheeper to buy gas in Lynchburg that the country. I live in a farm area also. Gas where I am is about $3.50. It takes $10.00 to go to town & back. Right now we are making at least 3 trips a week. Mostly for Mom's PT/OT.

[mawofone]

Give me time
Let me think
What to say on page 2.

Wolfegare is sick
Kath is looking for work
Gas prices are high
Rabble is looking at dog breeds
Kibby has 5 NEW pups

So much is going on
In WLT be a school reunion
But late it is
And early is when up I must be
So page 2
Will go on without me
For to night at least.

[Samarra]

The What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get editor, (advanced if you will), puts in unnecessary coding. I don't recommend it, myself. But, to each his or her own.
:shrug: I don't like to look at the coding! It does screw things up unnecessarily sometimes, though.

It occurs to me that I'd rather crash on a couch than sleep in a bed with satin sheets... I don't like satin...
Satin? nver slept on satin. I like cotton.
Satin is worse for that... and it's WHITE satin sheets...

with a white duvet on top...

in a room with white walls, ceiling and blinds.

At least the mountain of creepy dolls have been removed from the geust room!

Hi all.
Rabble my fav. breed of dogs are collies. I would llove to have a blue murle.
Wolfegare get better soon.
It is cheeper to buy gas in Lynchburg that the country. I live in a farm area also. Gas where I am is about $3.50. It takes $10.00 to go to town & back. Right now we are making at least 3 trips a week. Mostly for Mom's PT/OT.
I love weimeraners. I paticularly love the long haired variant.

[Dux]

Very cute!

Fancy you thinking that! :laugh:


Yeah, I wonder that, too... I really would love to live somewhere a bit out of town, with a forest close by, but usually that would mean using your car quite a bit. I'm a greenie so I'm not exactly comfortable with that, but I think I'll still want to live in the country if I can.


I just read in the newspaper a couple of days ago that in the US (I forgot which state exactly) a liter of gasoline costs 0.60 €. If only... I've got a cheap gas station near my flat and it's 1.409 € there.

That probably used to be true - but right now (if I've done the math right :erm: ) it costs about .96 a liter around me. Throughout the country I don't think anyone is paying less than .79 a liter ($3 a gallon). The price you quoted I haven't seen in a couple of years ($2.27 a gallon).

1.41 a liter :wow: !!!!!!! I think there'd be an armed rebellion in this country if the price jumped that high ($5.34 a gallon).

Last night Clinton was being interviewed by one the of more Conservative newsmen and mentioned that she'd and to try and get the WTO to fine the OPEC countries for their basic monopoly on crude. Apparently 9 of the countries belong to the WTO and there are strict rules concerning fair trade to be a member. I don't know if that would work in lowering fuel prices - but it's certainly a new and interesting idea.

$3.55/gallon is the cheapest I've seen here in this part of Tampa. With the US converting to E20 gasoline (20% ethanol), food prices are jumping by leaps and bounds because the farmers get more for selling to fuel companies than food companies. This should in theory lower fuel prices but it does not. The crude oil companies are getting scared that they will be squeezed out of the energy market (yeah, like that is going to happend soon :rolleyes:) so they are trying to get every penny possible out of the US.

[woollymouse]

I came I saw I posted a quick post.

[Sharon]

There is nothing wrong with gray hair. Mine started turning gray when I was 18.
We have NEW puppies. There may be more coming.I found my first white hair at 16.

Was I 26 or 27 when I found my first grey hair? :erm: I can't remember!

I wouldn't mind my hair turning either white or grey... however, my mothers' hair went salt-and-pepper. :roll:

I'm not entirely certain how her hair colour is, as she's one of the ones in her 60s' who panics if anyone can see her roots.

It's not like HER AGE wouldn't let them know that her hair isn't the colour she dyes it! :rofl2:
I don't panic, but I did dye it just awhile ago. I wonder if I should try to do anything about the crow's feet around my eyes, the frown lines on the forehead and the laugh lines around my mouth. :roll:

The really stupid thing about my mothers' white-on-white-on-white-etc decorating...
There are three cats and a dog living in her house... and none of them be white!I tend towards darker colors in bedding & stuff, what color is my cat? :wideload: Yup his fur shows up on everything.

Just a token postage. Dropped out of last WLT and can't bring myself to do :ketchup: as brain taking a short leave of absence as I'm subliminating over the whole going back to w@rk thing. Really not doing very well, sleep disorder is really active and I'm a little depressed too. To make it worse Wolfling took a header off the bed this morning because I was so tired I feel back asleep and was not watching him - he hit his temple against a vertical metal valve thingy on the radiator so off we went up the A&E department just to make sure he was fine as he had a depressed area where the metal thing pushed in.

He's fine; been happy as normal nearly all day, just has a tiny blood red spot with small raised area around it. Me, I felt hyperglycemic while getting ready to go to the hospital and have been sick this afternoon with the shock. Hubby dearest came home early as he wanted to discuss the childminder's contract and get me to ring her - I made him ring her (although she wasn't in) and left Wolfling with him and took to my bed for a couple of hours. Only good thing about it was HD changed Wolfling's nappy - only the 2nd time he has done so.

This month I reach that milestone birthday. Many of my friends have been reaching this birthday over the last few years so I have had lots of time to consider in what special way I want to spend this birthday. Last year I decided what I'd really like to do is go on a trip with my mother and my sister. The three of us have never travelled anywhere together, or even spent any time with just the three of us since I was about 14 years old. So I thought it was time. After months of trying to figure out what worked best for us all I FINALLY have a trip partially planned. Let me tell you it was rough. I knew I wanted to go someplace for about 5 - 7 days - so there had to be a selection of stuff to do. I like browsing touristy and unique shops. It had to be someplace we had not been to before. I had decided on Sedona, Arizona. Within a couple of hours are some beautiful parks (Grand Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon), Sedona is very artsy with some incredible shops to explore -lots to do. Then hubby pointed out the bad part. When we travel, at the end of June, the average temp. would be 98 degrees :faint: Back to the drawing board. Every idea I came up with had something difficult to deal with. But NOW I have it. We are going to the Boston area. the temps should be great and there is an incredibe amount of stuff to do. History geek that I am I'm looking forward to spending a day wandering around Boston itself. Then we're off to Salem, Cape Ann, we're going whale watching and a whole bunch of other stuff. I am sooo excited about this. Both because of what we will see and because of just the idea of being just the three of us. I just wish my daughter was a few years older s that I could bring her too - then it would be all the females of my family - but still :bouncy:

There is nothing wrong with bribes. They can be very useful. Most mother use them all the time on thier litte darlings. Clean up your room or you are grounded for life. See a bribe. Kid get freedom & Mom gets clean room. I use bribes all the time. Kibby if you want to keep living you will get you math done. Kibby gets life & I get her to finish her school work. The only problem is.... It does not always work.

Thankfully it's only a little cut and she is fine otherwise.

Mike changed both our kids diapers before I did. He will also tell anyone who will listen that for both kids first 3 months he probably changed more diapers than I did. He is quite proud that when Ryan needed his first diaper change in the hospital he went to do it and 2 grandmothers both said, you don't know how - we'll do it. He looked at them and said "it's a diaper - not rocket science, I know how to do it" and did.

The OD on Historical places can be easily done on a walking tour called the Freedom Trail (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Trail). I've done it twice, and, you said you were doing it this month? The weather should be okay for it. You can pay for a tour, or just walk it yourselves; while it is a LOT of walking, it covers pretty much everything.

And you get to stop at at Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market. And have a cannoli. ;)

And you get to stop at at Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market. And have a cannoli. ;)

I saw the freedom trail tour on the internet - problem is my mom has hip problams and we're not sure she could handle the walk. We will have a better idea at the end of this month because she's going on a cruise to Italy that will involve a lot of walking. If she handles that well we will do the Freedom Trail, it not we'll pick and choose the things we want to see most and use public transport. We are going at the end of June.

edit to add - my compy tells me that it is not a valid image to use. :tantrum: What am I doing wrong!!!!
Okay, Duxie. You clicked on the attachment I put in this post to pull up the regular image right? Then you right clicked and saved it right?

It should work. I can open it in Paint and that program I used for .jpgs that came with me ancient scanner.

When I use Paint, I have to convert from a Bitmap image to JPG image . . . and it may work in the program on the compy, but it still needs to be uploaded to the Forum as a JPG . . .

You wouldn't shove me back in, would you?
Have some cookies, in a completely non-bribing manner. Kay? :cookie::cookie::cookie:

But it's WRONG. And BAD. And I am well renowned for my sweetness, naivete, and innocence, and so on. I don't even know what a bribe IS, I only know how horrible they are. :D

:cookie: ? times 3 ? That much chocolate . . . There are bribes . . . and then there are 'Bribes' if given for not doing wrong or as a reward they are okay . . . but the latter one . . . :erm:

This month I reach that milestone birthday. Many of my friends have been reaching this birthday over the last few years so I have had lots of time to consider in what special way I want to spend this birthday. *snip* We are going to the Boston area. the temps should be great and there is an incredible amount of stuff to do. History geek that I am I'm looking forward to spending a day wandering around Boston itself. Then we're off to Salem, Cape Ann, we're going whale watching and a whole bunch of other stuff. I am sooo excited about this. *snip* :bouncy:

I love museums! You can find me in a museum more than in a buffet . . . check and see if you can rent a scooter/chair for a couple of days to allow her a chance to go to places when you want to walk . . .

You haven't seen the classic Peter Kay sketch, then?

Uh . . . :erm: I don't watch the BBC much . . . I do like 'Whose Line is it Anyway?' and the antique/junk/junque shows . . .

Just a token postage. Dropped out of last WLT and can't bring myself to do :ketchup: as brain taking a short leave of absence as I'm subliminating over the whole going back to w@rk thing. Really not doing very well, sleep disorder is really active and I'm a little depressed too. To make it worse Wolfling took a header off the bed this morning because I was so tired I feel back asleep and was not watching him - he hit his temple against a vertical metal valve thingy on the radiator so off we went up the A&E department just to make sure he was fine as he had a depressed area where the metal thing pushed in.

He's fine; been happy as normal nearly all day, just has a tiny blood red spot with small raised area around it. Me, I felt hyperglycemic while getting ready to go to the hospital and have been sick this afternoon with the shock. Hubby dearest came home early as he wanted to discuss the childminder's contract and get me to ring her - I made him ring her (although she wasn't in) and left Wolfling with him and took to my bed for a couple of hours. Only good thing about it was HD changed Wolfling's nappy - only the 2nd time he has done so.:hugs:

I find it especially coincidental that the WLT that is active when I log on for the first time since... 18 Aug 2006!? is called WLT Be a High School reunion.

May I reune?

Hi everybody! Didja miss me? Do ya remember me?
:heart: Of course, we remember ickle Cavee. :hugs: Good of you to come for a visit.

This month I reach that milestone birthday. Many of my friends have been reaching this birthday over the last few years so I have had lots of time to consider in what special way I want to spend this birthday. Last year I decided what I'd really like to do is go on a trip with my mother and my sister. The three of us have never travelled anywhere together, or even spent any time with just the three of us since I was about 14 years old. So I thought it was time. After months of trying to figure out what worked best for us all I FINALLY have a trip partially planned. Let me tell you it was rough. I knew I wanted to go someplace for about 5 - 7 days - so there had to be a selection of stuff to do. I like browsing touristy and unique shops. It had to be someplace we had not been to before. I had decided on Sedona, Arizona. Within a couple of hours are some beautiful parks (Grand Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon), Sedona is very artsy with some incredible shops to explore -lots to do. Then hubby pointed out the bad part. When we travel, at the end of June, the average temp. would be 98 degrees :faint: Back to the drawing board. Every idea I came up with had something difficult to deal with. But NOW I have it. We are going to the Boston area. the temps should be great and there is an incredibe amount of stuff to do. History geek that I am I'm looking forward to spending a day wandering around Boston itself. Then we're off to Salem, Cape Ann, we're going whale watching and a whole bunch of other stuff. I am sooo excited about this. Both because of what we will see and because of just the idea of being just the three of us. I just wish my daughter was a few years older s that I could bring her too - then it would be all the females of my family - but still :bouncy: That sounds wonderful.

Well. That's one way to put it. I missed like TWO YEARS girl. I HOPE I missed lots, or you guys are boring. Well, how about a bit of both. ;)

oooh poor you and poor wolfing. Mousling is also now sporting an injury, she has a cut to the head. The injury was inflicted by a toy at the childminders when two of the boys decided to fight over a toy Alison was unfortunately in the middle and got hit on the head. Thankfully it's only a little cut and she is fine otherwise. Poor thing!

In other mousling news she is now sporting two teeth/tusks (they don't half come through quickily when they start growing them!!!!) and she now has a confirmed place at the Nursery. She starts on 2nd June with a short settling in period the week before. Wonderful.

Mike changed both our kids diapers before I did. He will also tell anyone who will listen that for both kids first 3 months he probably changed more diapers than I did. He is quite proud that when Ryan needed his first diaper change in the hospital he went to do it and 2 grandmothers both said, you don't know how - we'll do it. He looked at them and said "it's a diaper - not rocket science, I know how to do it" and did.:wow:

[Jax]

Hey there Jax. You'll be pleased to hear that I remember you too, I'm sure! ;)Natch! :D

[Bullbound]

I don't have any kids but I have changed a diaper. As Mike said, it isn't rocket science. But, it sure does stink and makes one want to puke.

[mawofone]

Tiny always helped with Kibby's diapers. It was when she threw up that he had problems. Dirty diapers yes. Puke NO!.

[mawofone]

Dux, a lot of public places have electric scooters now. If your mother can not do a lot of walking you can check & see if where you are going has scooter or regular wheelchairs. If you are going to be staying at one place you can rent on to use. Some times they will deliver it to your hotel & pick it up.

Anyway, yeh. :angel:

[Lady Wolf]

Yes it does, but it has to be done and the job should be shared as equally as possible between both parents.

It's partially my own fault, Wolfling was exclusively breast fed for 7 months, has been on bottles for only last 3 weeks, and I would change him after a feed. I've been primary carer for nearly 9 months and it's hard to give up that control - I'm one of those people who find it easier to go and do something as soon as it needs doing rather than wait for someone else to do it and very maternally territorial.

HD is now learning to take on more as I'm going to go out swimming after w@rk twice a week and he will be doing parenting duty those nights.

My mom said similar stuff about me; my dad was on remote in Iceland when I was born. She said when he came back it was a huge relief to have help, but she was also kinda jealous, and she wasn't sure who of, me or him. The next line, is of course, betcha can't wait 'til he starts school!

[Dux]

Tiny always helped with Kibby's diapers. It was when she threw up that he had problems. Dirty diapers yes. Puke NO!.

I always thought this woud be my problem. I was afraid that I coudn't handle the kids getting sick - then I ended up with two babies with acid reflux. Rachel was projectile daily. I got used to dealing with it. After a while we had a system. Mike took the sick child to the bathroom for cleaning, I would change the bed sheets. Then I got the sick child for dressing and cuddling and Mike cleaned the carpet and furniture. A few weeks ago Rachel threw up for the first time since she was an infant - funny how we went right back into "team-mode". I got the child to the bathroom and cleaned and by the time I came out Mike already had the room and mess cleaned up and the sofa ready with a blanket for cuddle time.

The Whale Watch Tour is a boat trip through Boston Harbor and out to the ocean.

Invokes Hostly Immunity for the first time - cuz I feels like it.

[mawofone]

That is nice to have hubby helped. I about dies laughing the time I came hope to find Tiny trying to clean up after Kibby had been sick on to to sick himself. He would clean a few min. then be sick, clean the be sick. I do not think I helped matters by laughing at him.

[Kathryn Draconna]

*cackles* I won the battle with the weeds! I weeded in front of the house on one side of our steps (which are in the middle of the porch), loosened the soil, added better soil to it, and planted flowers. Not bad for five hours work, I don't think. Did a nice job, and mom asked if I'd do the other side since it looks better than she had expected (she hasn't seen it that nice since.... forever).

Daddies love time alone with their lil ones as I've found out. My hubby wasn't so keen on being a father when he found out I was expecting but now he goes dippy over her at times, I made sure right from the start he did his share (I still do most of the work but that's only because he isn't around all the time plus he needs his sleep at night due to his commute to work) he's the primary bather and he's done his share of the nasty biohazards Alison makes in her nappies.

This month I reach that milestone birthday. Many of my friends have been reaching this birthday over the last few years so I have had lots of time to consider in what special way I want to spend this birthday. Last year I decided what I'd really like to do is go on a trip with my mother and my sister. The three of us have never travelled anywhere together, or even spent any time with just the three of us since I was about 14 years old. So I thought it was time. After months of trying to figure out what worked best for us all I FINALLY have a trip partially planned. Let me tell you it was rough. I knew I wanted to go someplace for about 5 - 7 days - so there had to be a selection of stuff to do. I like browsing touristy and unique shops. It had to be someplace we had not been to before. I had decided on Sedona, Arizona. Within a couple of hours are some beautiful parks (Grand Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon), Sedona is very artsy with some incredible shops to explore -lots to do. Then hubby pointed out the bad part. When we travel, at the end of June, the average temp. would be 98 degrees :faint: Back to the drawing board. Every idea I came up with had something difficult to deal with. But NOW I have it. We are going to the Boston area. the temps should be great and there is an incredibe amount of stuff to do. History geek that I am I'm looking forward to spending a day wandering around Boston itself. Then we're off to Salem, Cape Ann, we're going whale watching and a whole bunch of other stuff. I am sooo excited about this. Both because of what we will see and because of just the idea of being just the three of us. I just wish my daughter was a few years older s that I could bring her too - then it would be all the females of my family - but still :bouncy:

What a great idea! My sisters and I did a trip together a couple of years ago...so much fun!

[Faren]

OMIGOSH! I love Boston. I love everything about New England, really. I chose to go to school here in Maine for that reason. (I'm transferring to Colorado next semester for other reasons, but eh...)

Eat a cannoli in Quincy Market for me? Goodness, I want to go to Boston too! (Okay, I will next week, but a too-short layover in Logan does NOT count.)

So you are back. Have you finished high school yet? Ready for college?

[Faren]

I currently reside in Maine. Well, sorta. Term's over, so after my finals I'm returning to the Deutsch land. But I see your point.

OK then...BACK to Germany for the summer.

AFIK it is not a sweatshirt. Those are more convenient up here anyway too.

[Cavee]

I went to University of Maine for two semesters, and am returning to Germany for 6 or so weeks to pack up the house and get ready for our move overseas; back to Colorado. I'm transferring out of UMaine to UCCS so i can live at home and go to school for FAR cheaper; as a military dependent stationed in Colorado, I get all kinds of benefits from the state of Colorado. In three years, when my dad transfers again, I'll likely go to the big campus up in Boulder to finish out my MBA. If daddy is promoted, he'll leave the state sooner, and I'll likely return to UMaine.

That sums up my rl for the moment I think.

Now, I have a book to read. Don't let me stay here!

[Rabble]

Am I that scary? :(

:erm: :giggle: :evil:

[Dux]

Why do I get visions of Linda Blair and The Exorcist when I read that? *Is scared.*

Because that's what it was like? She once let go in her crib and it reached the glider about 8 feet away.

[Dux]

Went out to lunch today and had the yummiest thing. It was a Caprese Lasagna Salad. It was thin lasagna mixed with tomato, mozzerella and basil in a vinegrette dressing served over fried eggplant.

*drools*

Ryan ate about 1/4 of my eggplant. He has a new favorite. Tonight when I asked him what he wanted for dinner he said "strawberries and that eggtree? eggbush? what was that egg thing called?"

I thought it funny.

[Lady Wolf]

Speaking of cots, I put Wolfling in his, in his sleeping bag, and raised the drop side for the first time last night as he is now trying to crawl. I woke at around six this morning being nuzzled for a feed and the cot side was down with the sleeping bag over the far end - I've woken up to find him in the bed before but never without the sleeping bag. I can't decide if I wake up and get him but are not fully awake or awake long enough to form a memory of the event, or if I'm doing it in my sleep. Hubby dearest is aware of my doing it when Wolfling fusses or cries.

[Rabble]

Aubergine is nummy! :drool:

[Sharon]

I've been bitten by my baby!!!!! It marks now. Carnivorous Mousling!

Well, if'n I'm visiting, it's the sort of move into your basement for a few months before finding an apartment in the area visit. ((I hope. Fingers Crossed))


That works too. Boring in that no bloody coups happened, but exciting in that birthday parties did. Right? Well, the Willet Bowling Alley is in the basement and that wouldn't be conductive to sleep.

I know...***makes Cavee a nice cave with all mod cons in the eastern wall of the Willet, with a nice spiral ladder leading up to it***

Well , In the Pit O' Doom there have been pitched battles of obliteration of the abominations known as Smurfs. No matter how many we kill, we never manage to get them all and before you know it, another hunt is needed to keep them under control.

The Willet Warriors have been known to ride forth and lay siege to neighboring demesnes when bored and in a "playful" mood.

We have had plenty of virtual parties and feasts. We will celebrate almost anything.

And if you search, Massachusetts offers plenty of Llama farm tours. :giggle:

I find myself both terrified and pleased. Is that too contradictory, or merely par for the course?

I shall decorate my cave by painting the walls and elegant dusty rose and bringing along a few of my favorite cuddly toys. Including Steve, my pink moose. I'm always willing to collect more... *Hinthint* And I suppose my afghan and a pillow would be necessary *continues to plan the cave.*

You're sure? I know an excellent 'alf hitch that'll keep any horse from gettin' spooked!

[Cavee]

Also, I still haven't read the book. *dances madly with the Procrastination Fever*

I have some pillows for you . . . don't mind the Pug hair . . .

Why do I get visions of Linda Blair and The Exorcist when I read that? *Is scared.*
Because that's what it was like? She once let go in her crib and it reached the glider about 8 feet away.
Eeeeewwwwwww! *Is very scared.*

hmm I must have scared him off.... he hasn't written back yet. Oh well, his loss!
Aww. :hugs: His loss is right.

<----exhausted!
I went to PA for my niece's wedding, attended the ceremony, but left before the reception to take my dad to the ER. Turns out he has a kidney stone, will still have much pain, but at least now we know why and have pain meds to deal with it.
In the meantime, I've lost lots of sleep.

Ta! Umm... maybe when I get my hand in again I'll knit you a nice throw.

*curls up on pillows in cave with THAT book*

I love throws . . . just curl up in a chair with a book . . . one Puggy in my lap and one wedged between me and the chair arm . . . if they both are not on my feet.

[Cavee]

Maybe that's why I can't read it. I need animal companionship.

:group: Get some sleep poor thing. :hugs: Are they just going to wait for the stones to pass or will he be getting lithotripsy?

Just a token postage. Dropped out of last WLT and can't bring myself to do :ketchup: as brain taking a short leave of absence as I'm subliminating over the whole going back to w@rk thing. Really not doing very well, sleep disorder is really active and I'm a little depressed too. To make it worse Wolfling took a header off the bed this morning because I was so tired I feel back asleep and was not watching him - he hit his temple against a vertical metal valve thingy on the radiator so off we went up the A&E department just to make sure he was fine as he had a depressed area where the metal thing pushed in.

He's fine; been happy as normal nearly all day, just has a tiny blood red spot with small raised area around it. Me, I felt hyperglycemic while getting ready to go to the hospital and have been sick this afternoon with the shock. Hubby dearest came home early as he wanted to discuss the childminder's contract and get me to ring her - I made him ring her (although she wasn't in) and left Wolfling with him and took to my bed for a couple of hours. Only good thing about it was HD changed Wolfling's nappy - only the 2nd time he has done so.:group:
I was feeling kind of depressed too, on May Day. We (a group of the Student Queers) had a nice time on the picnic (the park was absolutely full of people as usual, but the weather was good) and then afterwards we went to one guy's house and watched videos on Youtube. It was about then that I started feeling like a total loser again, and I'm not sure why. Like I can never think of anything intelligent to talk about and I keep thinking that although people probably like me all right, they wouldn't miss me if I was gone. Then again I usually think so, I just don't let myself get depressed about it. :roll: It may not be true at all, I just have very low self-esteem when it comes to that...

I find it especially coincidental that the WLT that is active when I log on for the first time since... 18 Aug 2006!? is called WLT Be a High School reunion.

May I reune?

Hi everybody! Didja miss me? Do ya remember me?
:heart:Yes we did, and yes I remember you! :glomp:


And stop putting Cavee into the newbie pot!

This month I reach that milestone birthday. Many of my friends have been reaching this birthday over the last few years so I have had lots of time to consider in what special way I want to spend this birthday. --- I am sooo excited about this. Both because of what we will see and because of just the idea of being just the three of us. I just wish my daughter was a few years older s that I could bring her too - then it would be all the females of my family - but still :bouncy:Ooh, that sounds awsome! What a great thing to do for a birthday.

There is nothing wrong with bribes. They can be very useful. Most mother use them all the time on thier litte darlings. Clean up your room or you are grounded for life. See a bribe. Kid get freedom & Mom gets clean room. I use bribes all the time. Kibby if you want to keep living you will get you math do
