I too have been lurking around in the background, but now I want to join in too on the pity party!! I like the idea of a dark corner somewhere with just a little glass of wine to really let the tears break loose. I'm not a usually a drinker, but after this week I think I deserve a little indulgence. Please forgive my weakness!! I also like the loneliness hike Faithful Wife. Too many choices! Too many good ideas! I can't choose which group I really need. Maybe all of them!<P>TB

Am I the only one having any of the melon-cauliflower salad? It's good with flounder...<BR>

OMG!! I'm certain it is the full moon!!!! I've seen it happen too many times to doubt it! <P>And the hormonal thing?? That's a definate too! I'm a bit "hormonal" too! LOL LOL<P>Hey! I've got Peant Butter Cup Chips Deluxe Cookies!! Anybody want some? <P>Mitzi

Well, I just walked in the side door carrying my latest rendition of *pity* food... I'm the savory type myself so this time it's....<P>Herb and garlic cream cheese and<BR>Original flavored bagel chips and/or<BR>peppered water crackers<P>Oh, as for the beverage? I'm still liking "Sour" the generic version of Squirt.<P>Oh, and if it's really bad, I lean towards the Ultra SlimFast peanut butter candy bar... OMgoodness, you wouldn't believe how satisfying that is! It's unbelievable really.<P>And for activities? The mud... well, that would interesting, especially if you set up a volleyball net in the mud pit! <P>I hereby reply in the affirmative to your R.S.V.P.! <P>------------------<BR><I>As iron sharpens iron, so does one wo/man sharpen another...</I> Prov 27:17

Hi Gang,<P>Lost the corkscrew, been forced to survive on food and water for several days. Then some scoundrel stole the cork out of my lunch! May I join your pity party?<P>Are we having a theme? You know, something like "Self pity is better than no pity at all!"<P>Bye the way, is this a black tie or white tie event?<P>Prayers and stuff,<P>Bumper

Here I am for one last post (I already said that on another post, wouldn't you know it? )...<P>Ick day today. <P>I ate Fruit Loops with marshmellows for brekkie, Yummy , and I meant to share, but alas, I ate them all!! <P>Have a good weekend everyone...<P>Hugs, Sheryl<P><p>[This message has been edited by Nyneve (edited July 07, 2001).]

Well, it seems that my pity party raged through the night. <P>After the tear-jerker showings of "Old Yellar" and "The Story of Us", I was a basket case, with my teddy bear and my blankie and a gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream, but as I woke from my pity-induced stuper, I find that several partiers are still here. Let's keep the pity flowing!<P>Now, we that we have been wallowing in self-pity for a whole day, I think we need a small break. The effigy bonfire is dying down--the mud pity is drying up a little--and the melon cauliflower salad seems almost gone (hey, who ate all that?). Anyway, how about a nice game of lawn darts with certain select photos as targets? I just don't have the strength to continue my walk with loneliness hike today, so I shall sit and contemplate the spiritual advantages of suffering instead. Now, coffee, tea or herbal tea for everyone, and let's have a quick moment of meditation to start our SECOND day of pity partying off right. My mantra today: Do what is in CJ's best interest. Do what is in CJ's best interest. One of these days, I'll believe it!<P>CJ<P>P.S. My personal chosen soul food for the day is homemade chocolate chip cookies. I could eat them by the dozen--luckily I shall only grab a handful and eat three or four. TOTALLY pity food!<P>------------------<BR>Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Oh my!!! A pity party - I hope I'm not TOOO late....<P>I brought chocolate, peanuts, and cocacola!!! I'm doing the jeans and tee shirt thing - bikini tops are SCARY with this much 'candy'.<P>Love the mud idea!!!! We could wrestle in it!<P>HAving a great time already. <P>Jan<BR>

Does this party extend for a third day?<P>I'd love to bring my new roomate to the party! What did she say?!?!?<P>Brought home a new puppy Thursday and she REALLY misses her brothers and sisters! She also remains nameless today, poor girl. To top it off my cats are REALLY pi@#ed off at me.<P>Oh yah, Thursday was the night I retrieved my court ordered belongings from the x, escorted by a Deputy Sherriff. I had to file contempt charges to make it happen. I'd been waiting since 4/1998.<P>Ugh, I'll bring dog biskets and tuna!<P>Ragamuffin

It's good to know that I am not the only zookeeper here....4 cats, and a 1 year old beagle...in heat....oh, great, the dog is getting more {attention} than I am!

How about 4 long haired dogs full of stickers and fleas, 3 cats, 7 horses, and 5 chickens at last count (found one half eaten 2 days ago).

I hope it wasn't one of the horses!

well, missed most of the pity party, cause I was stuck on top of a hillside trying to get an obnoxious piece of 4 inch pipe to hold together so 13 houses could have some water. <P>Chocolate is always an important item to have at a pity party, prefer funny movies to sad ones, though. Laughter cheers the soul. <P>I hope you've had the time to come up out of the mud and find out how nice the grass feels on your toes! <P>Lori

Well, this is the second day back at work after my totally awesome vacation. I feel a big wave of pity needing to be indulged, myself. But all I want to do about it is sit around and sigh - or go back to bed. <P>Where do the sighers go? Can we have a lot of chocolate? cookies? peanut butter M&Ms? ice cream with homemade hot fudge sauce? brownies?

I've been avoiding this party but I think that it is time that I joined. My "D" will be final tomorrow <P>Let's add hot carmel sundae's and a plate of fresh fruits. Think about it, can you be in a bad mood eating watermelon and spitting the seeds on a picture of the x.<P>------------------<BR>Love, Bill<P>-There are none so blind as those who refuse to see!-<BR>-Stand up and do the right thing, even if your standing alone.-

Baskin-Robbins Chocolate Mousse Royale with hot Fudge sauce is guaranteed to fix our chocolate cravings.<P>Caramel suace, hot, could be helpful.<P>But I think we could use the chiropractor before we return to Happyville. All this slouching would be bad for our spines.<BR>
