The Lounge is like a breath of fresh air
or maybe not. What is the Lounge like?

1. Ya know the lounge is like a box of chocolates, you never know

2. I was thinking about Fresh Air just now.

See my post: Birds

On edit: Really! I was just outside watering things and looking at the sky and breathing. It is kind of odd that you posted just then.

6. I just walked down to get the mail
Edited on Sat Nov-12-05 07:24 PM by ashling
the box is about a quarter of a mile over the hill ... and I stood and watched the most glorious sunset.

And I was very emotional, because we are going to have to leave this place. Selling our home here in the country - or else lose it to foreclosure - and move somewhere else with the little bit we get out of it. I will miss this place so much.

The Lounge and some good people here have helped me deal with it some.

But I will miss it.

3. Family gatherings
They could be the greatest fun ever and a memory you'll always cherish, or turn on some stupid thing and become an absolute fiasco of hurt feelings and words better left unsaid before you can excuse yourself.

People are touchy lately and I don't like it one tiny bit. :(

4. That just happened to me, actually.
Every now and then I will say something in a way that offends someone. Usually because I just didn't think to qualify what I said.

It really hurts me a lot when I do that. A lot.

14. I enjoy your posts
when I see them.

I have a carpal tunnel like problem in my right hand arm. When I get a job and helth insurance (wish, wish) I am going to get it checked out further. Somtimes my arm hurts to the bone and may wrist too. So sometimes I send a post before I should because it hurts to type.

15. Oh I hope you can get help for that
My Mom had carpal tunnel surgery earlier this year, she went from waking up crying in the middle of the night to 100% better in less than a month, it was an amazing thing.

28. It's a rapid-fire hate-filled volley of verbal putrid herons
toward a queasy and bewildered row of Dallas Cowwboy cheerleaders standing in milk.

31. whew, that was a close one, i thought you were going to say...
teen spirit ~ :loveya:

Load up on guns
Bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's overborne and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello ,hello
With the Lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now entertain us
A mullato an albino
A mosquito my libido
yay

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, hello
With the Lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now entertain us
A mullato an albino
A mosquito my libido
yay

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard it's hard to find
Oh well whatever nevermind
Chorus-
Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, hello
With the Lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now entertain us
A mullato an albino
A mosquito my libido
A denial

by Toby Maguire in white rhino underpants and peanut butter, on stilts.
