I've noticed this forum is very quiet!!!
So tell me...how are you doing today? Not just a 'oh i'm fine'....I want to know what is going on in your lives! Special occasion this week? Planning one? Illness? Unexpected surprise happen?
Share share share!

I'm terribly bored (I have the week off and I didn't really count on that) and someone is burning something near me, 'cos I see smoke outside and it smells like burning wood. Which doesn't smell too bad, but it's giving me a dry throat somehow.



Hope I'll find something to do tomorrow. Might take the train to somewhere. Or call a friend and go to the cinema.

oh the lovely teenager stage..lol. I was there not to long ago...but myself!
I had my tongue pierced(I was actually 21 then and going through a piercing stage..had my navel done too). No problems, but it hurt my teeth...a lot. I kept biting on it and chipping my teeth. no matter how short a bar I got, I still kept doing it. So I just finally took it out. I have over 50 bars in my drawer still. I then decided to just get a tattoo and not do piercings anymore. And i did...a large fairy on my lower back.She's pretty
anyway....hope everything stays better for you!

are you near the south anywhere?(sc, georgia, NC,FL?) because we had that yesterday and today from the fires in GA and FL..the winds pushed the smoke up here and it's been awful.
You should go to a park...or go do some grave rubbings(if that is still legal in your state...some it's not). or hop on my bike and we'll ride around together..lol!!!!
I just relized I played with you today. I go by FTMom on isketch because someone else uses FTM.



i guess I can post how i'm doing. Son is still itching to death from a poison ivy encounter over last week. This has been so much fun...our first encounter with the children having this. At least it happened now and not when we head off to vacation.
umm....I rode my motorcycle by myself for the first time this week. Normally my husband rides with me, but I want to be ok on my own on it. I did a 20 min trip to see the husband for lunch. It was fun! I am a lot more comfortable without him there because I am not concentrating on keeping up with him or worried about what i'm doing wrong compared to him(he's been riding a few years now).
ummm....younger son is doing good too. nothing to report there. Kids are out of school next week...tomorrow is my last day of work. Just a lot of finishing up things at work for me. I think that's about it!
I'm in an ok mood for today.

It was probably just a neighbour burning something. They do that a lot around here... villages...!

I'd love to hop on your bike though. Never been on one :) I do cycle a lot.

I looked up 'grave rubbing'. I didn't realise it was a common practice. I do like deciphering old writings on graves but I usually trace the letters with my fingers to find out what they say. Bit stupid to forbid that, I mean.. if you clean it off again.

And yeah, I realised you were FTMom. Haha, I always put my computer in sleeping mode and I still have a screenshot of a drawing and you're in the chat window

Oh, you're FTMom?!
Gah, I just saw your signature too. I can't believe it took me this long.. (lol, my new avatar says it all ;))

I'm doing alright i guess. Managed to change the water filter, with much difficulty i mighbt add, turns out i suck at plumbing. But i finished putting the last coat of oil on the table i just sanded down and refinished, and it looks good. Dunno, doing alright i guess.

My new car wasn't ready today as it should have been... but I'm not that fussed as I'm not a bit surprised, and I'm off on holiday on Sunday anyway, so the car would just be sitting around gathering dust. And I live out in the sticks where we have a lot of dust! I only have to work 2 days this week, so pretty much tip top this week in general.

I just started a four day weekend cause of Victoria Day on Monday and a day in lieu for the teachers on Friday. Also, going to a My Chemical Romance concert tonight, but I don't know if I'm that excited cause I'm not a major fan. I only really know about 3 songs of theirs.
Anyways, I have a play coming up on June 7 or something and I'm really worried because we have no props, set or costumes ready and the teacher in charge of it just said today she's considering pulling the plug on it after I have done 5 MONTHS OF WORK!!!! For some reason, she refused to work on entrances, set stuff, costumes and props until everyone got their lines memorized (still hasn't happened). So, I'm kinda stressed right now...

Listen to the song, I daaaarrreeee you.

Hey if you are not a fan, send me the tickets and i'll go!!!!!LOL i'm old..but i'm still a fan!(is 26 old? always seems like it in this game)

__________________

26 and old?! lol Clearly you've had too many young teens around you in the game. 26 isn't old! :) Get to 99, and then I'll call you old. :P

I'm in a great mood today. Learning new things and feeling smart. Somehow that always seems to brighten up my day. It is pretty lame, but what can I say? I'm easily satisfied. Finally feeling like I'm doing something of myself after lurking around for about a week. God, I'm a goof.

I am struggling a bit with coding though, and learning a few basics of programming that I need. Which kinda frustrates you and leaves you banging your head against the desk. Btw, can I just say that, that helps take away headaches? lol.

And I'm looking foward to the weekend and chilling with my sisters. Can't say I have anything big planned. But a good time with my sisters is always fun :) (Nice thread, btw. Forgot to say that originally!)

Feeling better today, more positive and quite stinky (due to the huge amounts of garlic and other nasty things I have consumed :P).

Looking forward to the weekend, on Saturday we're playing poker! I have never really played, but a friend of ours likes it and it's his birthday, so we're having a poker evening.

26 is most definately not old because I am 26 and I am only a kid.

Looking forward to Mr. Vik coming home :)

hmmmm, how am I today?

I'm actually in a good mood today for a change. Over the past couple of weeks I've turned into this super housewife, getting all my housework done PLUS being really organised meal-wise and having some really nice home-cooked food. Cooked from scratch, pastry and all! Forgotten what I was saying now

Oh yes, so I think this is having a really positive effect on me and is improving my general mood

lol i guess i have been playing with too many teens. Although I have now completely filled my buddy list a few teens on there but gradually making a lot of adult friends.
Ty about the comment about the thread. It always seems if people get to know each other more, they will post more.

I'm having an awful day today. My last day of work with this company and they are treating me like crap. A lot of issues that i'm sure will have to carry over into when I dont' even work there anymore. Thank god I am not with their company anymore (anyone that ever gets into newborn photography, don't work with Growing Family. They screw you over every which way)

i love poker! mainly texas hold em. fun fun!

Maybe it's because I'm a mom that i always feel old. I mention I have an 8 yr old at 26 and the teens in the game go crazy. not like it matters...i ignore them mainly! there are quite a few cool teens that are very mature in there.

will you come cook for me please???? I am an awful cook. We end up eating out...a LOT

Ooooooooooo trip to the states



I'll come cook for you :D My mum's a fab cook, so was my gran so I think it runs in the family. I spent alot of time in the kitchen growing up. I'm the only one, my sister's idea of cooking is pulling out a sachet of pasta bake sauce

my idea of cooking is throwing pork chops on a pan and broiling them!

I just re-read that and realised how it sounded! Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Oh blimey, how do I dig myself out of this hole...

LOL you aren't worried about me being upset are you? It takes alot to make me mad, hon! :p Seriously...my husband makes fun of my cooking all the time. I'm so used to it! My mother had 12 kids, and still never cooked. From as early as I remember, we always had sandwiches and Mac NChz. So it runs in the family at least!

so sorry for you tasha...that is why i stay to myself.

I'm ok today...no work, kids home so just another day. Husband is working(as always) so it's just another day. Might take the kids swimming today or something. I really need to go to Wally world and get more stuff for our beach trip. I'm trying to span the price of things to buy out so that it's not buying it all at once.
um... not much abnormal going on here. just getting ready for summer!

I feel alright because I found a new path in my area. Haha, it's really close to where I used to live. But there's a fence on one side of it, and the other side basically ends up in a farm's back garden. But it's a pretty cool field road nonetheless and the inquisitive side of me is happy. Now I think I really know all the paths in my area -haha. Time to move!

The weather's nice too.

Oh my...
Wow. I know she's one of your best friends and all, but I don't think I ever had a friend talk to me like that... (I assume she said it with an annoyed tone). Still, at least she knows you don't like the way she talks about your other friend, and that in itself is quite a lot. At least she'll cut down (a bit, maybe..?). But most of all, it's nice to see someone have her back.

I find that sometimes when people talk rudely about another friend behind their back, the others go "hahahaha".. and join in. But it takes a strong person to dismiss an attitude like that. Good for you for not tolerating it.

Like.. Oh Em Gee. Do you realise how offended I am, that you called me stupid? :( Oh wait.. I'm 23. lol

But lovely, you'll come to realise that you'll find people like this in all age groups, sadly. I used to think (when I was your age), that when I get older, I won't come across people like this. But if anything? It's worse. And we all have faults in us, hence why you'll always find it.

As for me.. I'm having a fantastico day today! :D

Great thread, FT, and welcome to the forum, I knew you'd like it here.
I've been partying for two days. My 47 year old girlfriend who has never been married found a man! We had her bachlorette party last night, and I haven't had so much fun in years. We laughed so much I could barely speak today. The 'girls' all got up to dance together in a group (I haven't danced in years) and one of the male patrons came up and joined the circle, we wouldn't let him out. We took pictures of each other's cleavage, and spilled salsa, and...and... We must have been a sight, this group of middle-aged women carrying on like that. And you know what? I'd do it all over again, great stories, and some new friends.

The father in law watched the kids for us today, and I did my first long trip on my bike. we did 100 miles in about 2 hrs. up the mountain and back down, stopped at the top for ice cream at the motorcycle hangout LOL. I felt so cool
Very tired now...going to get the kids ready and head out to a pizza buffet and then come home and crash.
Had quite a fun time!!!

today was quite good. well, this weekend has been pretty good. it's a four-day weekend since there's a Teacher's Day in Lieu (whatever that is) and Victoria Day.

had a sleepover with a friend, did a bunch of crazy stuff with her, saw Shrek 3 for free with her friends (we go to different schools) since one of them came back from Calgary (a city south of where i live), is rich and was paying for everyone. even though she didn't know me. it was quite nice.

i went shopping with my mom today, which might be a little lame but it's like having a credit card, chauffeur and valued opinion all packed into one! bought a nice necklace since i lost my last one. bought a pair of nice earrings for formal occasions, which was nice to do since it took me a year to convince my mom to even let me pierce my ears. i finally told her that either i did it myself, or she came with me to make sure they sterilized the needles. she came, and looked like someone was dying while i got them pierced. bought some clothes, too. i have this nice polo i like to wear, but the buttons always pop open, meaning that i show way more skin than i'd like.. heh. i finally realized that i could wear a tank top underneath, and layering shirts is the style right now anyways.

tomorrow is a barbecue with our church, i hope it's sunny. it should be good.
