The Maelstromers... a FASTPASS!

[HaleyB]

Well I have been very sad and upset the past couple days...

Sorry to hear that.
It is always an awful thing to go through.

Haley - sorry about the cancelled test. I took my daughter to her neurologist on Tuesday for her EEG. Yes, a sleep deprived one too. Which means that I was drag-butt tired for my anniversary. Might also explain that flying pea at dinner. Sleep deprivation and rum, equal silliness. But I digress, she was so nerved out by having this test and would not believe us when we told her that it was not going to hurt her at all. So, she never fell asleep adn we will have to go back and try again. grrrr! So, I know much fun it is to get zero sleep for no good reason.

Me? Yes, I am going to be ok. I was just so shocked as to how upset it made me. I totally did not expect it to have that kind of impact on me. I am actually tearing up just thinking about it now.

There is a lot of stuff about the wedding that has yet to be decided, we shall see. There is a huge long story that some here know about involving the wedding and what was going to happen with the bridal party. Now it I am unsure about some stuff.

It is sort of freaky, in a good way.

I did see your post. Freaky how common seizures turn out to be. Steve has taken to calling it a core panic (which is computer geek for something worse than a system crash, I guess ). He had two in a row and then went right on the anti-seizure meds.

About your little secret, well I am glad I am not the only one now we are both out of the closet. Mel will never find out. She is about 20 pages behind with her company keeping her from us.

freaky in a good way, i agree.... our friend had difficulty getting the right meds for some reason. he would get them at night in the wee hours, and would be disoriented right before. They lasted for several minutes. It must have been horrible.

Can Mr. Silly drive?

 

[javamom]

Pongo, sorry about your friend's sad news. It's hard to kno what to do or say, and really, there are no magic words. I am sure she has a good friend in you and that you will be willing to listen when she is ready.

 

[jamal]

Pongo, I am so sorry for your friend and for you and your loss.

 

[pongoperdigirl]

Another thing is that I am so far away. Does anyone have any suggestions of things I could do to let her know I care? I was thinking about sending her some flowers or something.

 

[jamal]

Is somebody mad at me? I've felt ignored.

Don't even grownups get to wonder if all the friends are talking about them?

I will now go back to the eighth grade.

Maybe this thread just moves too fast for me. I worry I've hurt someone's feelings or said something wrong.

Do I need to go to sleep?

 

[pongoperdigirl]

jamal I love your trip report, I am not mad at you I don't think anyone is

psst.....I think you may need some sleep

 

[horsegirl]

flowers would be great, and a letter. look how much we all like reading things. Maybe you could write something to her, about how much you were looking forward to knowing this little person, and that you are so sad that this will not happen. don't be afraid to talk to her. it is very lonely when this happens.

Go to your thread and you'll see I'm not mad. i just bumped you up a little while ago, before you posted this! How could anyone be mad at you ya lil pixie! Are you mad at me cuz i thought the cookmaster was you and you were her?

 

[jamal]

Thanks, HG. I haven't done the bump in decades.

I do not get mad much. If I do, I go into 'fix' mode. I got frustrated with the computer earlier as I was trying to insert one of my comic artist's Fixer sketches as my avatar. My sweet author (CookMaster's nine-year-old) did The Fixer in Paint and I could NOT shrink it to fit. I am sure none of you can relate to this little problem. I was ready to chuck the trip report, the Dis, the computer....
...but I think I've come to my senses. I'm callin' Grammy and going to computer rehab school, but only if they serve adult beverages.

I didn't even let Sheri know how lovely she and her daughters are and how they look like sisters. It's true.

Goodnight all.

 

[Chapter 11]

Jamal -- I'm certainly not mad at you, and I don't think anyone else is as well (although they may be a little jealous of all of your super-duper character meet and greets ). I think your TR is great, and I'm really enjoying it (and if you ever get the recipe for the Cookmaster's cookies, send it my way -- to me, a good cookie is the perfect food). Plus, you look a lot like my wife (your respective haircutterpersons must've gone to the same class). I've discovered that there are so many posts on this thread, that people simply can't respond to them all. So I just keep posting and hope that people don't have me on permanent "ignore".

Frickles -- darn, and here I was thinking I was being terribly clever. BTW, I've been up to your neck of NW GA any number of times for cases, but I never seem to get anywhere other than the courthouse. Still, nice area.

Jennilicious -- so sorry for your friend's loss (and yours). I never know what to say at times like this. I think any gesture you decide to make to your friend will be appreciated.

Haley -- you know, you certainly have enough time to post on this board, and yet, for some strange reason, your TR remains unfinished (and I did notice the "shameless bump"). Hmmmm -- inquiring minds want to know.

Javamom -- well, if anyone has the necessary tools to stay awake, it's you

You busted me. I will get back to it soon. I was planing on doing it in the waiting room while Steve had his EEG... so if not sooner, next week I have two hours without the net.

Javamom- the pea story was too funny. I can see myself doing that about now. I better get to bed. Yikes, look at the time!!!

And I am never mad at anybody, but when I get too far behind I forget to respond to posts. 'cause I am learning that responding as I read back makes me look stupid sometimes...

 

[Grammyof2]

Good morning, all Maelstromers!

Jamal - I am only mad at people that can post pics since I am the unknown comic.

Pongo - Come to my house for dinner. Let me cheer you up.

Tink - if you post a pic you can come too and post mine.

Chapter 11 - I might need you if I don't get my taxes done today.

HayleyB - You is good people. Don't rush the TR to much. You got alot on your shoulders right now. I'll bump you later.

Java - How is the job? I keep missing you. Happy belated anniversary.

MelonMom - Last day of school today. Long weekend. I used to love them.

J and R's mom - I tried your site and my pics were to large, and I am am idiot.

KPK89 - I didn't take it down, I didn't even get it up.

Sheridac - No that is not me. And you look so young. Have you ever heard of a place called Uncle Sam's? It was a disco in the late 70"s. My old stomping grounds.

Lou - HELP ME. My pics still look good on my computer.

Paslea pooh - I followed all your directions and it still didn't work. The pics are to big and I can't get them resized. And you started this whole mess with your cute self.

Horsegirl - I still got your back and I read what you wrote last night in really small letters.

GeorgiaAr - Stay out of Wally World today.

Everybody else - GOOD MORNING. I will not be spending my day here. Got lots to do.

Marky Mark and Rhonda - we miss you.

Now I am trying this one last time. This is my MOM
Isn't she beautiful?

If anyone but me sees this, let me know. LY/MI

 

[sheridac]

GRAMMY!!! I can seeeeeeee it!!!

 

[jamal]

It's there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sheridac]

Firstly - Pongo you and your friend have my deepest sympathies. It's hard for people, during times like these, to know what to do. Being afraid you'll do the wrong thing, maybe make it worse. Let her know you're there for her. As her good friend, anything you do will be of comfort, don't worry.

Jamal - I don't think anyone's mad at you. I didn't here anything in the girl's lav anyway. Thanks for the compliment. I feel like a youngun still so it's good to hear I still look like one too!

Lou - I love your sense of humor!

Horsegirl - I saw what you wrote in teeny, tiny letters. It's all good though. Different strokes for different folks.

 

[SoNotAPrincess]

I, for one, am VERY peeved at you. No one should be as cute, friendly and talented as you. NO ONE!

Of course, I'm joking. I'd miss you if you weren't here!

Pongo, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's baby. I know from firsthand experience how you feel. My thoughts and prayers are with both of you.

Now I'm off to do some trainin'! Ya'll have a superiffic day!

 

[Grammyof2]

Snap - get to work.

If this works again I will upload pics of me. Real ones.

This is Hayley and my mom at the Princess tea.
Melonmom - If you are going to this tea you need a loan. I took 4 of us, but we did have free dining. This is one time I didn't tell DH how much it cost. Girls only trip he doesn't need to know everything. He thinks that trip was cheap cause of free dining. Yeah, rack rates at the Poly. You know girl.

Are these pics HUGH. I can't tell cause Lou says what I see is different from what you see. Who knew.
