Good luck with this one. Keep us posted

same here. Every little quote i've seen from him has really spoken to me, so to speak. I need to do some reading up on his teachings and such, but i dont' know where to start. Historical writing usually can't hold my attention.
I am creating.
I'll show you when it's done.
How's you?

It's on Biltmore Ave, right in the heart of downtown; only a couple stores down from the New French Bar and the ice cream place, across the street from Tempations Bar.

Because they change things. They push the...

The age of steampunk
Nostalgia meets the future, joined carefully with brass screws
By Peter Bebergal | August 26, 2007
An inventor who goes by the name Datamancer has modified his laptop so that its popular qualities -- light, thin, resistant to falls -- are lost. But something even more wondrous has emerged. Datamancer's laptop is completely encased in mahogany-stained pine,...

I've been feeding a little squirrel for that past few months. Not only will she come running when she sees me, but she will sit and take a peanut from my hand.
The other day . . I guess she was feeling frisky . . . she climbed up my pants leg, stopped at my belt, and waited for her peanut!

Does the stuff you buy online count as a store since the transaction is done from your own house?
But yes, I do agree.

So very true.
How's your back? I hope it's stopped hurting you. I figure homework's enough of a pain without it causing pain.

hm. Call me old and cynical; but I've never been a fan; it was so clear that she was a manufactured image, massaged by the press and the establishment desperately trying to repair the status quo; good looks, good stock, no trace of an education - the whole thing looked like breeding a racehorse.
(To be fair, she did some good work later; her anti-landmines work was excellent.)
So, a tragedy, sure; but in October of that year, I flashed on the headline the Sun would have run if she'd not married a Prince: "Divorced Mother Of Two Killed In Drink-Drive Speed Accident".
And after all that, that jackass Mohammed Fayed started projecting his fantasies on it all, and that poisoned it completely.
So yes, she should be let rest. Entirely.

I got to the university of cincinnati for psych. i'm taking a special topics in psych class all out research in the human sex field and i'm taking a women's studies class about women and human sex.
Yesterday, I hurt my back. ( was doing my homework, sitting at a desk and then boom and I couldn't move it sucked hell if I know what happened)
I then went to my friend who practices Thai massage, and though that helped tremendously, it still hurt. This morning, I wrapped myself up in a corset and went to class, Now, i've skipped my afternoon...

I'm not sure what to do about your back.
But for food, chunky soups are good and you can microwave them fast while you're still hungry. You could also try to make things at random times and sometimes at least you should be hungry around when you've finished making them.

hurting your back absolutely sucks. it messes with you in so many ways...
my dad has just begun... and since i'm not used to being up before 2 in the afternoon lately, i'm kinda just sitting here, waiting for the sleeping pill i took last night to wear off. but i'm awake in the morning, and that is my first step towards victory.

In the next five days, I'm having furniture and about twenty boxes of my grandmother's items arriving at my house. Why she's sending them up here, I have no idea but I'm clearing out a space for them in my room. (It'll mean I'll have a matching set of furniture for the first time since I was eight. I'm not quite sure what I think...

yes, those are amazing & wonderful things ... the ones i said and the ones in yr entry. my favorite is the dragon map ~ so cool. i think its so neat that you are recieving all of these old things! how exciting. you can either let them go or keep them. i have very few things from my past, but the few i have are treasures. my only "collection" is the glasses & rosaries of dead grandparents. i treasure them.
maybe that is something about me ~ i have 5 rosaries hanging on one pushpin above my bed. if there were a fire i would grab those, my papu's wallet, the glasses, and the few pictures of my nana & papu & be fine with the loss of the rest. if i lost those i would be disconsolate.

I have no comment and I need a shower.
I need to get out more.
I miss having humans around who isn't my mother. (not that I don't love my mum, but we don't see eye on much.)

I also need a shower. My mom's all right but I don't see her too much lately.

Moving 1200 miles away from my family improved my relationship with them tremendously. Familiarity breeds contempt and all.
I'm off for a shower now myself, I'm a big fan of the pre-bedtime shower. Mornings are tough, real tough.
