Yeah, my prescription was for a year at a time, too. I never filled it, though... broke up before I got through the samples. :) They gave me wretched hormonal side effects, though. I had a severe five-day depression once,  the kind where you can't even get out of bed. I missed my friend's graduation, even.

'lo - back for a little bit...

Did you manage Cleaning Freezer Step 7 ok, Marian?

Nope, that's *definitely* it. Time to go and read before sleeping. No more "I'm gone" but "I'm coming back in a minute because I've got this strange addiction you see".

*disappears*
*leaves Shadows & Marian an Order of the Mongoose necklace each*

Step Number 7 went exceedingly well, Footle Who is Definitely Not Here. :)

Ooh, a story, you say?

I shall open a new window this very moment.

Shads, would you like to get copies of my German PM practices with Wintermoon? So far I'm only doing a sentence or two at a time, and that takes me forever, so I'm sure you could keep up. :)

England I was unfailingly amused by the Brit-o-centrism of the sports broadcast.

The best bit tonight was when the presenter was trying to talk up the "achievements" of the UK athletes, and was being shouted down by the normally quiet and reserved Brendan Foster (a middle distance runner from the 70s).

"No. You're wrong. They're all hopeless."

The BBC is finally having to realise that there isn't any athletics strength in depth. There's barely any athletics strength at all.

(Uk's top athlete - the world champion triple jumper - half a metre ahead of the field in most competitions, but still - the triple jump...)

Soccer coverage is worse. Anyone here want to be told in great depth about how England won the World Cup in '66?
I, obviously, wasn't there - but I've heard about it again and again and again.

Oh yeah...Tad, I haven't paid for my sub yet...so while 'm signed up, there's no way 's been activated...
Hopefully Stuart will get paid tomorrow or wednesday, and I'll jump on it then....

Marian...gah, it's too early in the morning for thinking in another language...heh.  Lemme have my tea first...

I'm in the first paragraph of this story (how's this for instant feedback, Tad? ;) ) and I'm thinking of Key West already. An eccentric inn/tavern run by an old sailor.

Oh my God, if I didn't know better, I'd think a hurricane just broke out here. So glad I live in a brick building, and that my computer is far from the window....

We're trying to figure out what to order for dinner.  You wouldn't think it was that difficult, but we're brain damaged by the weekend's parenting and related life-issues.

I'll be back in a few...

It's raining here too - it's really interfered with my starwatching plans...

There is that...

Hi, kehv.  Missed saying that before.

We love Chinese food, but for various reasons we're going another route.  (Mainly because our kids don't like it that much, and they've both been sick and fussy about food the last couple of days.)

Anyway, did I mention that we're not only going to have the first pay episode up in a few days, but we're going to re-org the bulletin board as well?  Not in a HUGE way, but there will be a few new areas.

Ooh, which reminds me, I have to start a topic...

Heya Tree.....isn't all this sunshine stuff that's been around strange?  Heh.

Tad...I know.

'm hoping there will only be a few days of postlessness for me.

*tries to be brave at the thought of limited Smarching*

How can you children not like Chinese?  Terrible!  Although, when still sick, the idea of all the greasiness isn't too appealing to me either.
A toasted ham, cheese 'n tomato sandwich..heh.
