um WOW, Norfie is celebrating. got my eye plugs put in. They are silicone tiny rubber stoppers that go in to the corner of your eye to prevent all the water from draining out of your eye. They feel some better. My MRI is done! I was IN the machine when the power went out. I was thinking "did the power go out?" and before I could finish the thought, I had 2 people at my feet, telling me it was ok, they were pulling me out. SCARY! I am glad that is over. Hey steph, how much is that phone bill your momma ran up? I am still so angry that she used your name to get a phone for herself. What did the final bill come to? and do you want me to call the phone company to negotiate a lower bill settlement?

I don't remember, I think it was $150 something. I'll call them myself when I get a job and settle this for myself, I'm the one who told her to use my name anyways.
I'm trying to fix a 10 year old laptop for Granny to use *snicker* It ain't gonna happen, she can't even use a cell phone, nevermind a laptop. I may be back to ask questions about this...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that granny is trying to use a computer. That is awesome! to be able to look up her own recipes, and her own Martha Steward propaganda. Awesome! I hope you are able to take care of it for her. If you give up, let me know, I can always have it mailed to me.
I am glad you are taking care of the phone bill. They WILL negotiate. just tell them. "look! I know its 150, its also 5 years old, and not made by me. I am willing to settle it for 50 just so we can both write it off." I bet they jump at the chance to clear the books.
my neighbors are all fighting up here. you cant believe how rich these jerks are, and how petty they are. At least rednecks have boundaries. These guys are nuts!

Haven't posted in here for a lil' while... A few things have changed in my life. Norfy knows about the major one! I got myself a girlfriend... >.> I know I said it would never happen, but things change. Yeah, she's very nice and lovely and it's good being with her. I've changed quite a bit by being with her too. Matured a little, I guess. But I'm still an idiot at heart. We just got back from a week's holiday together at a beach resort here in England, which is why I haven't been around all week. (Not that you would notice me gone anyways...) I would upload some pics of us together, but I only have Facebook these days. If you're on there, feel free to add me though. I might get some personal web space at a later date. If I do I'll put them up then. I also wanna post some pictures of my new car, which I love so so so much. Also, I've moved again. Living further away from home so am completely independent now. Which sucks 'cause I hate doing washing and ironing, but it can't be helped. Don't really know if anything else interesting has happened. Not really, other than those things everything is pretty boring and normal. I still read the forums everyday it's just that I don't post as much. I know I should get back into the swing of things, but it's hard when you don't play WoW. Anyways, think that's about it for my little round up. I'm sure you're probably all still shocked that *someone* out there would hook up with me! And no, she's not mentally insane!

Its been almost a month since this thread was used so I shall attempt to get things swining again.
The hot summer weather here has been nice but recently the ventilation fans in the kitchen at work have stopped working. The kitchen was clouded over with smoke a couple of times and the heat from the grills, plus from outside, has made work unbearable. Its been terrible the past two weeks. I've been drinking more water than usual everyday. I went from 6 glasses a day to over 12. More than double my usual amount. At the end of the day, all I can think about is ice, cold beer. And I usually only had those cravings on the weekend.
The boss said the managers are too cheap the get the whole ventilation system replaced so they are only paying for patch work (not to sound rascist or anything but the guys that own the place are Jews so go figure). But the parts they need are being shipped from Ontario so we won't have a nice kitchen environment to work in till 4 weeks from now. XD
In other news, there was a horrific murder here in Canada not too long ago. I'm sure you guys may have heard about it on the news as it was broadcast world wide.
A 20 something year old dude was working a carnival here in Edmonton and he was ready to head home to Ontario. He boards a Grey Hound bus and is seated beside a 40 year old, oriental dude. They make their way out of Edmonton and drive east. Once they hit Manitoba the 40 year old guy does something horrific. He, for no reason, pulls out a knife and starts stabbing the young dude over and over again. Everyone on the bus starts freaking out, the bus driver pulls over and everyone evacuates while the guy continues to stab the young man. A few passanger close the door behind them manually and lean up agains't it to make sure the guy can't get off the bus and make a mad dash for it. Eventually the older man comes to the front of the bus holding the knife in one hand and the young man's HEAD in the other.
Pretty horific, huh? Apparantly some passangers said they saw the guy even eat parts of the body. The attack was apparantly random and unprovoked. What the fuck is with some people? XD

by the time they get the place to cool off for you, it will be winter, and you will be whining about heat. I am glad to hear you are drinking more water. stay hydrated.
We did hear about that young man on the bus, and we didnt get as many details as you just provided. We were wondering how a bus full of people allowed this young man to be BEHEADED and no one kicked that young boys arse. its explains it that the bus evacuated, and they blocked the door. That was horrible! We just heard snippets like a deranged passenger beheads another, and the crowd was helpless to stop it. wtf if wrong with this world? A bus was never a great way to travel with the side show freaks that are on it anyway, but DANG!
Its HOT HOT HOT here. we have had more rain than we know what to do with. Wet summer, means a wet winter, and we will be hammered with snow again. We have more than 10 feet of snow last year. that was wild! The humid stuff does me in.
I have checked back here a couple of times and the place appeared to have been evacuated. Spoke to steph who was taking a bit of a game break, and was helping granny get her spare room set up. Granny moved to elderly housing after steph got her own place, and I think she misses her. Granny will talk and talk and talk and talk, and while she is loved, it will burn your ears off. I am sure she misses someone to talk to.
Still doing FFXI some. not alla the time.
Had some eye surgery to correct some of my visual issues. I am not as blind as I was, but still dont have what I used to have either. MS still sucks!
Hope all is well with you guys.

More sadness in the world. Isaac hayes, the voice of Chef, died a few days back. I'm not sure how exactly as I only just heard a bit about it today but it is sad.

Well things around here are the same. Except now I am starting my own comic series. I dont know what the hell is wrong with me but people pushed me to publish so thats what im doing. Its a badly drawn, almost stock people like comic, based on a Ninja who is forced to work in an office and he kills his co workers in new and exciting ways. Office Ninja! So, soon the site will be up. www.officeninjacomics.com (It looks terrible now because I know nothing of web design, but I am learning.) so maybe i can make a few extra bucks on the side. Wouldnt that be nice?

Get a hook and memorable characters and you'll have a fan base, and then add a few ad banners and then it'll be more than a "few extra bucks." Keep going at that, if you enjoy it.
I'm towards the end of a loooong ass week. This is the first time they've willingly offered me overtime. I'm looking at about 45hrs this week, and I'm expecting them to call me in tomorrow sometime since it's been a CRAZY busy week. Recession my ass.
It's a good thing, because I got a raise and a promotion a couple days ago. I'm an Assistant Trainer now, and that comes with a full-time payscale. Still hourly but that's more monies that I *desperately* need. So, yays for that.
