I never even attended a football game. I don't know if we had streakers or not. lol

Oh yea..is today Columbus day? lol I work today...open 24 hours...yea that's great...working Christmas too...

I don't want to do anything like that on this computer. I actually have it set not to log me in automatically on most sites on this comp because I don't want to forget to log out and have someone happen to see the sites i was on. Not that I think they would, but still.

Didn't work for me in IE. I'm not overly worried about it though, because it's not my computer anyway.

Works fine on my computer, at least it did, but as soon as I moved over to my friend's house (house sitting) I have this problem. Figured it was something to do with their security settings and ignored it lol. My computer is Firefox, this computer is IE.

Right in the center! Duh... Yea, there were pics on the news of "sun dogs" in PA, but the rest of them my mom said WERE full circle rainbows. Still, I've never seen them or even heard of them, I've lived in PA all my life. Mom said she'd heard of them but had no clue what they were....

There was definitely no rain here, or in the area either. Someone said they were called "sun dogs" and meant cold weather was coming but I've never heard of such a thing and neither had others. At any rate, it's unheard of in PA!

That would be crazy! Was it raining?

I could not BELIEVE my eyes. Blue sky, a few fair weather clouds, and four rainbows crisscrossing the sky! And what's more, I actually managed to photograph them! The bottom two are a little faint in the photo, I wish they had come out better. The rainbows formed a pattern like this: )( () (turn it on it's side so the "prongs" are facing upward) This photo is completely unedited (except for the copyright mark) This one was edited slightly in an attempt to make the rainbows more visible:

Why not "sticky" it?

haha and then I suggest we follow up with the well-known yet dubious: Ave Imperator! Moritori te salutant!

Well after several harrowing days on morning deli (ACK!) I finally got a couple of days on the evening shift again. Last night was rediculously busy, simply because it was Friday and also because today is the first day of archery season. I hope today isn't that busy. My coworkers on deli were about going nuts because we had non-stop sub orders. One of my customers (who has become a rather good friend of mine just by his coming in the store) told me where to get alexandrite (the lab grown variety) inexpensively. Mine arrived today in the mail and it is GORGEOUS!! Alexandrite is extraordinarily rare and usually very expensive. This is it's lab-grown counterpart, which is chemically and physically identical to a flawless natural alexandrite, I paid $30 for this one as opposed to the several thousand (!) that a natural stone of similar quality and size would cost. Alexandrite, if you have never been "blessed" with having seen it and consequently become obsessed with it, is a nifty little gem which appears green in sunlight or flourescent light and red in incandescent or firelight. I first saw it at Kay jewelers, when I was simply window shopping (I cannot afford anything from there) and I fell *in love* with it, so that I would go to Kay just to stare at the alexandrites. I bought a setting for this one and set it myself into a necklace, my mom said it would be a pain in the butt to set the stone, however I had absolutely no trouble with it and it only took me a couple of seconds to get it set. It's a good sized pear shape on a simple silver chain, too big for a ring, though I thought of putting it in a ring it would look..."hokey" and besides, my hands get bashed around alot. I actually look forward to seeing my friend at work now, as he comes in almost every night. Last night he showed me a black diamond, I'd never seen one and I thought they were a metaphor or something, but they do exist LOL. We compare gemstones when there's no other customers in the store

2000 years ago, I'd probably be in better shape. My right hand would probably be a bit dysfunctional as I severed a tendon when I was twelve. I'd probably be in better health otherwise, considering I would not suffer the effects of environmental pollutants and second hand smoke.

I have not had any more issues with UNRV than I've had with any site recently.

LOL I quit band right before I would have been forced into the marching band in order to stay in band.

Lol my coworkers are actually really cool. Me and the assistant manager got in a "price gun fight" and were stickering each other one night BTW the ninjiggy sub was reference to a PM convo

Huh? I wouldn't fire her anyway lol she's actually really nice, though alot of people don't like her and I don't know why.

(now please, go crawl in a hole and die!) That's what I felt like saying most of the day today. I had to work the deli this morning, and I HATE deli in the morning. I'm willing to do it, but it is far from my favorite thing, I was alone on deli this morning and still not entirely sure what I was supposed to be doing or how. I had no problem with *being* on deli because they wanted to train the new girl on register, and so they asked me to switch over to deli. Of course, the new girl was sick and wasn't going to be there, so I got up earlier and got to work earlier for no apparent reason. I started out having a very good head start on things, however that quickly went downhill. We were busy as all GET OUT! (something I also felt like saying most of the day) and it took me an hour to do things that should have taken fifteen minutes. The chicken was frozen when I needed it, someone has messed with the temperature settings on everything so the hot dogs were cold and the soup was scorching, I had no time to make the pizzas, I also had to bake things on top of everything else (something I never did get finished.) I felt like I was trying to be in three places at once, I cannot POSSIBLY reach the pizza oven from the deli counter, I just can not do it! Then a woman comes in and says she wants a "regular sub" and I asked her what kind of sub she wanted. She replied "a REGULAR sub. I want a REGULAR sub." as if I'm supposed to know what that means. I said (perhaps a bit testy at this point) "what kind of sub do you want? we have ham, turkey, italian..." she cut me off with "I want a REGULAR sub. I don't need your attitude. I'm leaving." at which point my manager comes out to see what's going on, asks the lady what she wants and she repeats the same answer. Of course, my manager does not know what she means either, and is trying to explain to the woman that "regular sub" is simply not in our terminology and no one here knows could possibly know what she means...(turns out she meant an *american* sub...something that I'd never even heard of before I started work!) They told me that we were usually that busy in the mornings, but I'd never seen it that busy. It was insane, and they told me "this is normal" (looking at the paperwork at the end of my shift, and the amount of sales, I do not think that it was normal at all actually ). Because I *love* deli so much, and managed to stop myself from simply running around in circles screaming, I am being asked to work deli tommorow morning too, because I "need more practice". Which I do, but first I'd like some time to get my head on straight. I had a couple of bright spots in my day, the first being that I found a silver quarter in my drawer as I was counting it first thing this morning. When I did my paperwork at the end of my shift, it came out *to the penny* which has only happened once before. I was ecstatic. I was driving home and a lady was walking down the road, she signalled me that she wanted a ride. I almost drove right past, but something told me "stop for this lady" and even though I really don't pick up hitch hikers on principle, I stopped. (I really don't know why I did. It was like I just could not drive past. Something seemingly outside of myself removed my foot from the gas pedal to the brake, without my even thinking about it). I asked her where she was going and it was only a few miles out of my way so I said "hop in" and I took her home. (she had wrecked her car). She was very nice, and very thankful that I had given her a ride. I recognized her, she comes into my store alot although I did not know her name. She had signalled for a ride because she had mistaken me for her friend, but I stopped and I'm glad I did, the distance she had to go would have been horrible to walk, and it started to rain.

Lol Pertinax, I didn't go away, just been lurking because I'm very busy lately. We have car washes, but it's better to do it yourself. A car wash is OK for an older car, but a brand new paint job probably shouldn't be put through a car wash (BTW I live in Pennsylvania LOL) Actually I think I'm about to go to bed, I know its only a little after eight but I'm quite tired and I must be up at 4:30 I stabbed my gum again with my toothbrush (I have GOT to stop doing that!), I did it bad enough this time that I was bleeding

I know, this poor little blog over in the corner has been neglected lol. I managed to get Saturday off of work so that I could go to the Bowhunters' Festival, and I had a blast. I got my arrows cut, finally, found some very pretty feather roses (they are gorgeous! A waste of money, but gorgeous! lol), and I got a beautiful little antler-handled knife to add to my collection We ran into one of my friends from school and ended up taking her home so she could stay to see the bluegrass band play, she and her mom had been there all day and her mom wanted to leave. I ended up trying to drag her out to dance, and she pinched me, so now I have bruises on my arms and hands Actually, there were several others dancing, all of whom had beer cans in thier hands. I don't know how they managed to dance without spilling any, especially when they fell down. It was great fun Yesterday at work was a bore, and today I had off again so my grandparents and I went fishing. We didn't catch anything really, gram got a nice sized (and talkative!) catfish and "pip" got a few sunnies and a rockbass. I caught absolutely nothing. It was fun though. I took my bow and arrows to their house so I could shoot them there, and already broke one of my pretty arrows! ::is sad:: aw well, I guess I should not get too attached to arrows. It does suck though. I was amazed at how easily I could pick up shooting again after nearly a year without shooting my bow and with arrows I'd never used before. We washed my car while it was there, it's so much easier to do it at their house because at mine I have to drag the hose up over the wall and it doesn't reach all the way around the car, even though it's actually two lengths of hose put together. Tomorrow I have to be up at four thirty in the morning, because I got on the early shift again. It's only for a few days so I don't really mind, but I've grown very fond of the evening shift and I can't stand getting up int the morning.

lol that WOULD be weird. I've never actually heard of Peter Stringfellow.

Lol yea. How big were Murex, and how were they caught? Was it like those tiny feeder fish, could you catch a few thousand in a net all at once? Or did you have to catch them with bait and a hook?

::hugs:: I think that would be difficult for any parent, even if they do not object to homosexuality at all, it is still a shock to discover that your own child is homosexual, when they probably had dreams of seeing you get married, and raise a family. Of course you can still do these things, but not in the "traditional" way they were expecting. It will take them a while to get used to the idea, however I don't think that their disappointment is directed at you so much as it is directed at the dreams they may have had for you. Give them time. I sincerely hope things get better for you.

Jeepers!! twelve thousand! Can you imagine?
