WLT: Curses! Foiled Again!

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!

Almost 300 posts?

[BZWingZero]

Almost 300 posts?

Mwhahahah :D

[Beisla]

*Sets up the WLT trampoline near the bar*


I'll get you a bottle, it's easier to stop the alcohol splashing out as you jump if you remember to keep your thumb on tight!Thank you! :D

You'll be able to guess once you see the numbers from this WLT.
You got nearly 300 posts. That's more than enough. :p :hitfish1:

[BZWingZero]

The reason my plan was ruined: Last night when I went to bed there was a page and a half (about 75 posts) remaining in the WLT and I only needed about 30 to reach 300. When I got up this morning there were only 28 posts remaining and I still needed 30. Hence the cry of despair.

[Silver]

hmm let's see my weekend? got drunk on friday night a friend's house and played a card game they call flog. Evidentally it's really a card game called golf, but most of the rules are backwards so they call it flog. I went and saw Indiana Jones on saturday. thankfully I didn't get a hang over.

The kittens are being weaned which means I am down to just one cat. The adoptive parents are doing the weaning. YAY! maybe I can get some sleep now!

So how is everyone?

[BZWingZero]

I am well. Preparing for a cookout this afternoon.

And yourself?

[Gini_xX]

Alright, felt ill earlier, but i've made a recovery! Which is good considering I have an exam tomorrow! NOT fun revising while ill!

I think I shall go and make some toast!

Our company for the cookout should be arriving any time and I will be disappearing at that point.

BZ, half of 750 is 375. 375 posts at 1 post per 25 seconds means that you can reach your goal in 156 1/4 minutes.

Has anyone seen Sharon lately? I can't recall seeing her post in the WLT at all recently.

*waiting anxiously for the :tribe:*Don't worry Nichole! Now here's a tip for you. You see the little square button to the right of the quote button when you're looking at someone else's post? Say in the last thread or a different thread. If you click that button (when you hover the mouse over it it says multi-quote) and then come to the new thread, and click reply, it gives you an option under the typing window to quote the post you multi-quoted. Then you can click on it and bring the quote into the new thread. It's handy for carrying over from willet and spam threads, or if you're having a discussion and you saw someone say something somewhere else. :yes:

[BZWingZero]

:wave: Good morning.

[Gini_xX]

Hiya! :D
I'm well happy, my exam went well! :D

[BZWingZero]

Congrats. I'm still figuring out how to do a group project I have due on Sunday night. The difficulty in it, is I'm out of town from Tomorrow morning until about an hour before its due.

[Gini_xX]

Yikes! That's not so good then!
Are you going to be too busy while out of town to do any towards it then?

[BZWingZero]

I'll have access to email, but otherwise I'm not sure how much I can do. Would be nice if my groupmates actually responded to my emails.

[Cherlyn]

:lurk:

[Gini_xX]

:doh: Oh dears, that would definately help some!

[Cherlyn]

Yesterday turned out nice. This morning had to pull covers. Now just right for me while the boys are 'freezing' . . . :shake:

[Cherlyn]

Three more days of school for Boo (due to ice storm in December) and then he has Summer school - 4 days a week for 4 weeks. He has a hearing test the 12th and a behavior assessment set up a bit later.

[Gini_xX]

Sorry, As I'm still semi new I'm not too sure who Boo is! Is he your son?

I am not going to toss in lutefisk; I am going to toss in rancid yak fat instead!

Excellent, congratulations!

Yep, he's Sharon's son.

Cherlyn, not Sharon.

[Bullbound]

*tosses in the traditional lutefisk*

[Bullbound]

I did some looking and Sharon hasn't been on since the 8th. Is anyone in touch with her outside of the NKT?

[Gini_xX]

Excellent, congratulations!

Yep, he's Sharon's son.

Thank you!

[Kathryn Draconna]

Second interview at Wendy's today... and an interview at Sheetz tomorrow. So we shall see which job I take ;)

I would much prefer Sheetz if I can get it.

[Beisla]

Cherlyn, not Sharon.Oops, typo gnome at work! :blush:
Sorry, I meant Cherlyn.

I did some looking and Sharon hasn't been on since the 8th. Is anyone in touch with her outside of the NKT?

For the love of all that is pretty! What is a lutefisk? :shrug:

Fish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutefisk). Supposedly it is to be eaten but I'm not sure why anyone would want to.

See -- Bully knows the rules.

Has anyone seen Sharon lately? I can't recall seeing her post in the WLT at all recently.
I don't recall when last I saw her, but she was tied up with her mom and I think some changes at w*rk that limited internet access?
And of course, she was playing Runescape.
We do have our priorities.

Of curse, the mention of Llama helped.

Excellent, congratulations!

Yep, he's Sharon's son.
Sharon's going to be quite surprised about that.
If Boo is having a bad day, Cherlyn might be a little relieved about that.

Second interview at Wendy's today... and an interview at Sheetz tomorrow. So we shall see which job I take ;)

I would much prefer Sheetz if I can get it.
1 -- Sheetz is closer
2 -- Sheetz has better food and fantastic coffee bar
3 -- I really miss Sheetz

No one is here and I'm all alone.

all good points, but it will depend on the job/hours/benefits/etc. being offered.

quick update, had the interview at Sheetz... they are looking for a part-time sales person and pay $8.75/hr.

but they gave no indication of whether or not they actually liked me, just said they'd be in touch.

[fejar]

Good luck with the job KD

[FallingLlama]

When I next visit in the area, I'll stop by that Sheetz and say hi to you, KD. I assume you mean the one near the mall and not Mifflinburg or Lewisburg?

[fejar]

Oh I got top,

Another mo,

I don't know if I'll have that job for sure. If Wendy's calls and says it's full time, I get benefits with that... so would take that.

[Bullbound]

Good luck with getting either job. It is hard as heck around here to get a job. The news reported tonight that unemployment (only includes those that are unemployed and actively job hunting through government and private agencies) has reached a level unseen since the early '80s. That rate does not include people like me that are job hunting privately. Imagine how much higher that number is. :faint:

I'm hoping you get the full time job. In my younger days, when job hunting, anytime I heard that "I'll get back to you" phrase, I always thought that if they didn't call within 48 hours then I didn't get the job.

Still, things may not be as they were back then.

Good luck, daughter dear.

Quick break from packing again.
I've filled up a lot of boxes but still, my room seems to look messier the more I pack. :erm:

[Cherlyn]

Sorry, As I'm still semi new I'm not too sure who Boo is! Is he your son?

My seven year old boy aka Boo, Munchee, Monkey, Monkeyshines, Bud, Snitzlefritz, . . .

Yep, he's Sharon's son.
Cherlyn, not Sharon.

I'll let Sharon:fiend:sis borrow him for a couple-a hours . . . :D

*tosses in the traditional lutefisk*

You are not the usual culprit . . .

Fish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutefisk). Supposedly it is to be eaten but I'm not sure why anyone would want to.

They process it like hominy is processed . . .

I don't recall when last I saw her, but she was tied up with her mom and I think some changes at w*rk that limited internet access?
And of course, she was playing Runescape.
We do have our priorities.

I know, but unfortunately nobody likes the person being pesky around here anymore. If you manage to get an interview, they expect you to not bother them as much.

Got tired of being hot so did some investigating and we have Airconditioning! Seems the switch in the breaker box was not turned 'off' before it was turned 'on' and it won't work that way . . . I had put new fuses in the box outside and made sure the switch was on.
I still can't get over the fact that Pooky never really was taught how to repair/check/operate things around the house :blink: I can do plumbing, drywall repair, fixing stuck doors, paint, wiring, yard work, and repair of the lawn equipment - I just don't have what it will take to repair the lawn tractor this time . . .
It ain't the best in the world but with fans it made it nice today . . . At almost 10pm my time it is still 84*F heat index 88*F (what it actually feels like with the humidity of 62% factored in) . . .

[Bullbound]

How can Pooky not know how to use a fuse box? That was one of the first things I learned about home maintenance other than always keep the sharp edge of a blade away from me. At least he has you around to help. As long as one person in the home knows how to do repair work, I think you are fine.

[Bullbound]

Wow, it must be nice to have the temperature feeling close to what it actually is. Here, it is 66*F but feels like 77*F. The weather has been really strange with lows near 72*F and highs about 90*F.

[Bullbound]

Don't forget folks, hurricane season starts on the first for Americans even though there is a storm near California already.

I am sooo sick of hearing car alarms. I'm not sure whether one of the people who lives in the next building has a malfunction or if it's kids poking fun, but it happened in the middle of the night -- twice -- and twice since I've been up and about this morning. Considering that it's not quite 8 a.m. Saturday, that might be considered four times in the middle of the night.

Is your air conditioning cooling the place down well enough? You may have to have your coolant recharged. I'm sure you already thought of that though.

The first house repair related task I learned was changing the fuses in the fuse box when I was a kid. The second thing was reading the electric meter. Then came reading the fuel oil level in the huge tank. My biological father was not the best. There was a lot that I wish he could have taught me. However, fuse boxes? Fuse boxes? That's so uber simple even a noob* can do it.

[Lady Wolf]

:ketchup: from last WLT..

Poor lil wolfling,how many teeth has he got now? Mousling has two but there maybe another on the way. She is sitting in her cot currently playing with her toy dragon and trying to bum shuffle up to the top of the cot. Yep she is trying to find a method of movement and bouncing on the mattress is fun in her book.




Lita/Wolly, Wolfling still has just the two front teeth. He rolls all over the place and hasn't mastered crawlling because he just wants to walk and ends up with hands and feet on the floor instead of hands and knees.

He's been sliding off me to stand on the floor for the last week, and he's figured out how to safely get off the sofa unaided. He's sort of cruising, except its normally off me and not the furniture.

Last night he managed to sit himself up for only the second time and to my great surprise grabbed the metal shelving unit and pulled himself up. He stood there for a few mintes before releasing one hand then the other - he lasted a few seconds without support before falling over. His face thruout was wonderful, so proud of himself, and he knew I was watching.

Only problem is the bluetooth on my photo is acting up and I can't get the photos of him on to my computer.

[Lady Wolf]

I'm off to sort out the nasty smell coming from Wolfling's direction.

[fejar]

he's a hockey player I know, just thought he'd brighten the place up a bit :)

[Lady Wolf]

I've had a busy and productive day; I've had the tires on my little car replaced as although it passed it's MOT they gave me an advisory notice to say they all had a lot of wear on the tire walls. Thought it best to play it safe and replace them sooner rather than later.

I bought new wiper blades and fitted them and finally found the right stuff to stick the rear view mirror on properly, as it's slowly falling off for months.

There is a new Hobby Craft store opened in town and I bought more polystyrene beads to refill Hubby Dearest's cushion as it had gone rather flat. Unfortunately they only stock tiny A5 sized light boxes, so I'm still looking for an A4 one at a reasonable price for my tattoo designing. So when I got home I sewed up two out of three holes in the cushion and spent a frustrating time re-stuffing it (anyone who's ever used polystyrene beads will know the fun of static cling), and fixed the last hole. Then as I had my kit out I did the rest of the mending tasks I've been stockpiling. Worryingly I've managed to loose the needle - I'm just hoping I find it rather than Wolfling.

Finally we've also been food shopping and started getting things together for our holiday in two weeks - we've found that we can get Wolfing's buggy in between the front and rear seats of the car rather than in the boot - which is great as it takes up most of the room in there and we would have struggled to get everything we need in the remaining space.

I'm at Nick's today- with internet! :woohoo:

We're finally going to get broadband at home but we're going to have to swap ISPs because AOL is bloody stupid if it thinks it can give us a very limited package and charge us extra for the privilege!

I'm also working in a cafe 3 days a week.

I'm also supposed to be working in Aber for another 3 days but the stuff hasn't turned up!

I'm also planning a trip abroad for an interview. Trouble is, I've only left the country twice before in my life and those were on school trips.
That leaves me very, very little free time!

So, I'll be quietish for a bit!

Quick post!

By Thursday next week I need to have *every* bit of school work done, which includes getting my thesis printed out. :erm: I was sort of worried about how I was going to have time to do that since I work 7 - 4 every day (except Fridays but that doesn't help me now) but a school friend said she's going to pick hers up next week and could also get mine. (I've understood I just need to e-mail it to the printing place.)

And then next weekend I'm moving and I've done next to no cleaning and packing so far. So I haven't had much time to Willet, and I wouldn't count on much 'net time next week, either.

Good luck :hugs:

:wave:

I'm around. I was just watching live coverage of the Phoenix Lander landing on Mars. We now have a 50% success rate on landing on the red planet.

:cool:
I think Aber is building an arm for a Mars project. Not sure which one.

Thanks everyone. My schedule is getting a little easier. I haven't been able to print my thesis, the teacher still has to read it through again, but I've done all I can for now.

I've done a lot of packing today, though there's still a fair bit to do. Surprisingly enough my books took up several cardboard boxes... :erm: (I didn't want to put only books in any box, since I wouldn't have been able to carry it down the stairs!)

Yep, I'm taking a short break just now.

A couple of years ago my sister got me this really nice drinking glass.

She kept asking why I wouldn't take it to my flat but I wanted to save it until I got a place of my very own, not just the student flat. So today (we started out from my parents') when I was packing it into my bad it slipped from my hands and it broke. :ouch: :sad: I'm hitting myself over not being more careful. :banghead:

Yup. Those are the two I changed - the box with the switch is right there and I just turn it off, change the fuses, and then turn the lever back to the 'on' position . . . I've even used a ohm meter to see if the fan motor was still good - it was replaced last year . . .

Well, it's either:

Why is it I can sit here playing RS and nod off to sleep yet when I go lay down I am wide awake? :irked:

I've come to the conclusion that when getting up to go to bed your heart goes from resting rate to active rate and the extra blood and oxygen wakes your brain up.

[Lady Wolf]

I'm still sick - started with a temperature during the night and now have sweets/chills, headache, kidneyache, sore throat and no voice. Went to the Doc & now have penciline to try and knock the tonsillitus on the head.

Hubby Dearest has been great, looking after the Wolfling. I want to cuddle the little monster, but just don't feel well enough which sucks big time.

Ouch, sounds nasty! :patpat:
I'm sure you'll be fit and well soon enough and you can catch up on extra Wolfling cuddles!

[BZWingZero]

I have no idea. :whistle:

Oh me, Oh my

I came here to read

I'd missed the trap

So can I vote
farewell page 4

[Kath]

Nice poem - and just in time, too!

Just fun and good cheer

[Kath]

*snicker*

My work here is done! And that was a lovely second poem.

[fejar]

But I'd ment to get top again, still you shoved me there so delightfully!

[Kath]

Even better!

[Bullbound]

Wow, fejar. Cutting it just a little close?

[Gini_xX]

Hrmm....
My mother just described me as the "selfish teenager" of her three children.
How pleasant, and it fills me confidence about myself...



I hope you felt the sarcasm there...

[fejar]

Wow, fejar. Cutting it just a little close?

Well between top p4 and top p5 I'd been to Coventry and back, ok we only stayed 3 hours but we went. Then I'd also done 2 days work so I was very glad to sneak back in when I did!

For some reason, since I got back from my trip (Conference, not vacation), I have been very depressed. :sad:

[Cherlyn]

Boy, have I found something neat - for those who want to read at work and not get caught . . . unless the boss peers too closely . . . Read At Work (http://www.readatwork.com/)
Here is the article about it in the Wall Street Journal (http://blogs.wsj.com/buzzwatch/2008/05/29/daily-diversion-how-to-read-great-books-at-work-and-fool-the-boss/)

*pops in* I am officially a Wendy's employee. Making $7.15/hr but also getting 35-40 hours a week and shall have health benefits. Orientation was yesterday, it took two and a half hours. (I get paid for those 2.5 hours too) Today is the first official day of working. I go in and get trained today and tomorrow on general stuff and then starting Thursday I'll be trained for closing.

About the only people that might catch me online after work starting Thursday are the REALLY late night Americans and the Overseas crowd. I won't be home and online until like 1:30 or 2am EST. Today and tomorrow are only until 8pm, so I'll be on to bother you all!!

[edith]

Good to hear you're getting internet soon. In my previous place, it took them ages to get my 'net connected.
But where are you going abroad?

Ì don't think my situation is quite that bad, but it's not likely to get better. :disguise:
I've got a couple that I think I'll take to the second-hand bookstore, but most I want to keep.


The Netherlands. I have the interview I really wanted there!

I only have three bookcases. I'll take photos when it's more tidy!

Congrats Kath. :hd:

[Lady Wolf]

I'm feeling more myself today, the fever finally broke last night and I've stopped aching. Just yucky stuff in my throat left - which I hope the antibiotics kill off quickly as we're going on holiday a week Saturday.

[Paulita]

Kath well done and congrats on the seedling.

[Paulita]

3 days in on Mousling's nursery and all is well. She is settling in well (although she refused to take any milk for the first two days) and now doesn't seem to want to come home in the evenings.

She also seems to be teething again. This will be the third tooth.

Poor Gini! Once my mom said I was the high-maintenance child. There are eleven of us, but apparently I am the only one who drives her crazy. I feel your pain. *hugs*

Eleven !?!?! :faint:
Hubby was #6 out of seven and I is an onlie . . . I couldn't get away with nuthin' - they could always tell who did it . . .
Mom and I rarely fought but as for my dad and I . . . but both are gone and I only have my one Grandma and Mom's stepdad . . .
Grandpa in all but blood :wub: and he is 92 . . .

[Cherlyn]

Get after'em KD :applause:

[Cherlyn]

I found something I haven't heard in a long time! Groovy Grubworm (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7VJd7pncQs) The reason I haven't heard it in a while is that I wore out Dad's 8-track tape it was on :blush:

Have we got an upside down smiley?

I need to laugh because this is about to make me cry . . . Went to the lawyers to sign the petition to the court to release me as administrator and turn over the estate to the only heir: me. She also showed me the rough draft of the final bill (depending on these last filing and court fees) . . .
:faint:
I can close out the estate account and then just turn that over to them . . . then I have to come up with more to pay them off.
*sigh*

You mean this one? :upside: The one we've had through several incarnations of this board? :roll:

What? Are you saying you don't get anything from the estate? No moolah?

:eek: A tanker fell off of an overpass and slammed into the highway below. Luckily, only the truck's driver was hurt and the highway is structurally damaged. No one died. But now one of the busiest highways in Tampa is closed. I am so glad the 8,000 gallons of fuel didn't kill anyone.

I am eating a kind of nacho that would make diabetics take more insulin yumyumyum... Cinnamon sugar with strawberries chocolate sauce and white chocolate chips

I've seen dessert nachos before. I think my favorite kind before I became diabetic was cinnamon sugar glazed chips with chocolate chips, caramel sauce, diced apples, and marshmallow fluff.

I get the house (needing major repairs - 'squatting' there right now) and ye olde War Wagon (1986 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Station Wagon) - there were just too many creditors - the hospital, the ER docs, the hospital docs, the cardiologist, the nursing home, the ambulance (one ride from hospital to nursing home was deemed a convenience and had to be paid for), and then the lawyer.
I did close the estate bank account and gave lion's share to lawyer. Got back money for several months' worth of bank fees ($29.95 a pop ! :faint:) - they were treating it like a regular business account !
Don't get me started on banks . . . :irked:

Thanks Wolfebro :wub: I just couldn't find it right then . . . :upside:

Also . . . I got a nice little letter from the insurance company that says my cancer policy is paid through to August. I got online and sent them a nasty little note asking about what they were doing with the money that my agent was sending them. We wanted to be clear as to how far I was paid up to and they had told him last month that the policy had lapsed and was dropped August of 2007 :irate: .

So I am glad that little fiasco is cleared up. :D

[Cherlyn]

My grandma can't get over the fact that I can laugh over all these crappy little niggling problems - as I get one cleared up two or three more are brought to my attention.
What next? :baseball:

[Cherlyn]

Now can anyone NOT understand why I can thread a sewing machine with it a runnin' ? :upside:
