My ladies have started to pass away again
the first of a company goes in late barren fall
then through march they pass and pass
that last journey; winter journey home
they go to rest; they go to peace
to find that far, green country
I know, kind of a downer. 20+ residents passed away in the home I work in last year between...

I think I'm going to eecummingsify myself.

I love taboos, and being incorrect is a big one.
Pie PiePIEPIEPIE I've got pie in the oven. yay me.
wow, that was interesting. AN experiment in the long, long post form.
therefor, as a relief, this post will be brief and light.

dig the long posts - things to think, things to learn. this is the smartest bunch of posters in the virtual world. hot alternachicks seems to attract the brainiacs - coolness.
more importantly - PIE! mmmmm, pie. my inbred southern heritage comes twanging to the surface whenever i smell a really good pecan (long a) pie.

On grammer:
since somebody mentioned this I thought I'd explain what I mean by saying grammer is one of my vices.
1. THere is no incorrect english.
2. spoken language is the law; spoken language is living language.
3. If you succeed in communicating your message, you are correct.
I find the structures of grammer fascinating. comparative and all. people who are only interested in...

Well put. 
I actually fall to the trap of judgement based on spoken language. I know it's false and I know that I shouldn't judge people based on that, but sometimes I really really hate it when the wrong word gets used because of a lesson not learned. Of course, right now I'm blanking on an example, but I'll think of one in a minute. Oh! my geekdom comes through again:
"Pick up that dice" says the player at one game table.
The reference is wrong, as "dice" is the plural form of die, and by saying "that" the plurality is betrayed. When I hear that sort of thing, I get ticked off. Oh, also when people say this:
"Alls I have to do"
That kills me. "Alls"? AAAaaahhhh!!
For some reason that sort of thing really gets to me. I know a lot of people that say it too, but EVERY time I notice it and it bugs me. I really wish it didn't bug me, but it does. To the degree that sometimes I even correct people.
Gender confusion gets to me as well.
Ah well. Cheers, friend.

I wish I knew grammar better than I do, especially punctuation. I am just lazy...
I also believe there are different rules for email and chat as they are conversational and one does not have body language and eye contact.

okay, here's my verdict on ROTK.
sometimes people get pissed at me because I list the things that were left out and why they were important in the books. THis may seem like complaining, or criticism, but it is underlit by a strange joy at meeting other people who have actually read thew books and remember what was in them.
I was raised with them....

life goes on. I'm doing laundry. Did I mention I'm moving in ten days?
I got my heart rate monitor back from polar yesterday.

today I did my first ever post mortem care. For all of you not in on health care euphemisms that means what happens after a person dies in a facility and before they go to a funeral home (depending on religious beliefs of the deceased).
SO that means I washed up a dead person. I won't go into detail, because I'm nice.

I'm going through this moving mind set--
I keep thinking-
heh. this is the last tiem I have to deal with this crappy thing. 12 more days of that irritating foible of my mothers. 12 more days of my mom eating 3/4 of whatever I buy at the grocery store, despite her having way more money for food than me.

Yay for happy lists!!! 
Okay, so I've actually done something besides make lists of what I ought to do.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with 2 pentium II 300 mhz dell's with no hard drives, and no memory, and a Pentium computer that I don't have any use for. My mom also has a 5 year old broken printer she wants to get rid of.

Noise, yeah that will be NO problem. My windows are about 100' from the freeway and 30' above it. And, my neighbor is a drummer.
I am sooo excited!

All of us in the coop are sensitive to noise complaints...
In fact, we are thinking of writing a bylaw where if one complains about noise more than 3 times in a given 5 year period, the person filing the complaint will have their membership reviewed for termination.
Yeah! NOISE!

woman sucked into mall's holiday consumerist spirit
dude, the mall is so bewildering, and I forget how fucking amish I can be. all mesmerized by too much input.
I bought two presents for other people, and totally fatuous, two new pairs of jeans from express, since I was suckered in by their 20$ off each sale, and the fact that they had 14 long in...
