The refiners fire seems so HOT these days. May you all come out of it without even the smell of fire upon your garments.

I'll be happy to just have a garment fragment or two left on my tormented body, no matter what they smell like! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

P.S. Don't forget the pictures of A_D's trip, whenever you have the time, of course. What a good idea posting them for us, is.

Neak, darling, I'm not sure we need to discuss your personal, um, issues in depth on this thread, regardless of its name, so we can discuss color, odor, amount, and consistency in a more private forum. You're welcome, everybody. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I thought you might appreciate the restraint. But no, I don't think you ovulated during that brief window of opportunity...although after all these years of close obsservation of your ovaries and their frolicsome attitude towards life, I wouldn't rule it out definitely, either! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Ah, thank you for your restraint. (No odor though.) But I knew if you saw it on here you would remember to ask me about it.

Well, Shattered05, you'll have to ask AW to store him for you, but I'm glad to see that even now you know that someday you'll be able to pick up the pieces again, and put them back together to make a better picture than you had before. You go! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Bwahahhhhhhh -

The bachelors were looking good to me too. A little young though.

I do hope that Neaksis will consider one of the Spanish speaking guys though. It REALLY cuts down on arguments when neither one can speak the other's language. I've known then all for a couple of years, and haven't had a fight yet.

has anyone watched the new series 'over there" yet?

Well I wasn't going to, I was going to avoid it like the plague.....but you guessed it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I stayed up and watched it.

Not the smartest idea I have ever had mind you. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Disregard the technical errors and the California scenery ...gosh even I picked that up .... you've got to remember its 'fiction' based on reality...... I found it close to what Aussie has described minus the clichés.
Lots of issues like lack of training, equipment, yes affairs too, killing, dying, and oh that hospital scene gave me the creeps ....way too real, brought back horrible memories.

I smelt again that yuck metallic smell/taste of that yellow/brown liquid Betadine or whatever it was that was just about all over Aussie .... stained all my clothes ...yuck tubes were everywhere ..I do mean everywhere ..I really could have done without that image before bed. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Next time someone kick me <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />


Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

I'll kick you. AJ watched it once, unfortunately, and it was the one where that poor soldier sends the loving video message to his wife, it beeps on her computer, then the camera shifts to her in bed with some other guy.

I got up and left the room, and it was almost 15 minutes before I began to hope that my supper might stay put. (I didn't notice the California scenery.) AW, I'll spank you myself if you watch it again.


Did you ever notice that if you start avoiding shows and movies with adultery, there's not much left to choose from?

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> What a night! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> And in spite of the frantic insanity, the time seemed to just crawl, although I don't know how. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Finally, after centuries of work, I checked out, ready to stuff myself in my cannon, light the fuse, and get out of there like a SHOT! (You may have caught inferences <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> earlier in the Saga that I, um, drive fast! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />) I got outside the hospital only to discover that it was completely fogged in, and traffic (like the shift I'd just finished) was proceeding at a crawl. So we crept along like timid shadows for milesandmilesandmiles, able to see only a short distance ahead of us, surrounded by gloom and gray. It got to the point where I was ready to get my pet snail out and send him on ahead to tell everybody I was on my way home! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> And then, suddenly, about 45 miles from work, and 6 miles from home, I drove out into blue sky and sunshine. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> For several minutes I pondered the morning's commute as a metaphor for life--we so often are surrounded by gloomy and gray circumstances, and such fog that we can't really see where we're going or what's ahead, or even what's around us...but if we keep on going forward, we'll eventually get into the sunlight again--that same sunlight that's been shining behind the clouds all the time. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> And then while I was thinking about the joy of being in the sunshine, and how great it was, and how descriptive it was of living, I drove back into the fog again and everything disappeared. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Which, when you think about it, isn't that bad of a life metaphor, either! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Maybe you've been in the fog in the past. You might even have more fog ahead of you, but I'm wishing you sunshine today. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Wish me sleep.

Plus if you start avoiding the movies and shows made by known adulterers like Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise (who is an dope anyway!), Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie.... the list gets even shorter!

I am looking forward to going to see Narnia! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi FL! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

This is a fun thread and we all get to hang out with the Neak family and pretend we are a part of it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You all are a part of it, FF. You have all helped save my marriage, first from adultery and then from recovery.

Safe choice with Narnia, too. I would bet there is no adultery in it.
