vault_overseer Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) At least you didn't get diagnosed with anything life threatening. Like a brain tumor, which my aunt has. I've had my share of life threatening stuff. Much strength and speedy recovery to your aunt! Got my wisdom teeth pulled today, but was also given morphine to take care of the pain. I was disappointed in morphine, vicodin is wonderful though. Edited October 30, 2009 by vault_overseer
Hurlshort Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Oh yeah, my mom had a car accident last weekend. She has chest bruising but is ok, and it wasn't her 'fault', but it does make me nervous. She's becoming old and slow-reaction enough that I'm worried about her driving at all. Yeah, I was in a car accident some years ago and the seat belt bruised my chest. I had a class that morning and I went into it about 20 minutes before it ended and the professor said, "you're a little late." The class laughed. I responded, "Yes, I was in a car accident, but I didn't want to miss the first day of class." Anyhow, my dad is getting old and I worry about him driving. He's 82 now and he still drives too fast. We're trying to convince him that maybe he should folks drive him places. His mind is still sharp, but you worry about reflexes, like you said. I hope you mom stays in good health, though. Getting in an accident is pretty traumatic, even for younger folks. We had to take my Grandpa's license and keys away a few years back. It was hard, but he had gotten in a fender bender and just drove away from the accident.

Trenitay Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I did the haunted house again. Tonight I was a clown. It was probably the funnest thing I've been so far. The senior staff was taking pictures tonight, so I intend to get my hands on the ones of me. Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck.
Walsingham Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 My flu has got worse again! Bloody norah... Anyway, greatly cheered today as I have just heard that two people I recommended for jobs have got them. It's such a simple, but immensely pleasurable thing, helping people out. "It wasn't lies.

Hurlshort Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I took my wife through a haunted house a couple nights ago, and the clown was the scariest part for her. He followed us all the way out the door.

He followed us all the way out the door. Hmmmm. Are you sure he worked there and wasn't just some nut in a clown suit?

Trenitay Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 That's entirely possible you know. We actually have a few groups of people who come in costumes. Although they generally don't follow someone else out the door. Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich.

LadyCrimson Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Today while bug spraying the borders of the house, I rescued an earthworm who had apparently made a home in a crack near the foundation. I rinsed him off with water and put him back in the dirt. I also cried when I 1st saw Bambi. “Things are as they are.

Shryke Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 did the Zombie walk last night and went out drinking afterwards was a good turn out this year - 200 or so "zombies" shambling along the street when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
Musopticon? Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I envy you. We've been trying to get a zombie walk into this city here, but interest has been slim so far. I even have the perfect costume, emulating a Snork monster from SoC. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Deraldin Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I ended up going reverse trick or treating tonight. We get so few people coming down our street every year and it's no wonder considering how dark it is and how few houses have lights on. We made up some treats ourselves to hand out to the people on the street that we knew well enough. Ended up with some chocolate covered strawberries (with fake white chocolate and little mini M&M eyes to look like ghosts), some peanut brittle and some dark chocolate fudge for us to give away. I went out dressed as Manny Calavera and as soon as I figure out how to get the pictures off the camera I'll post a shot of the mask I made.
Walsingham Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Hungover today, but still disappointed no children came by. I had turnips to give them as treats. It occured to me that an alternative approach to Halloween would be to go around houses asking people for their scariest stories or facts in exchange for sweets. You could write them down, and sleep very badly afterwards. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

mkreku Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I went to a party dressed as the 102:nd dalmatian (had 102 written on my behind). I'm guessing my gym routine is giving some results because I've never gotten so much attention from going out in long johns and a tight t-shirt before. Very good for my ego, except for the fact that I'm writing this post alone and ready for bed. Drunk as a drunken pig. Thank god for the Firefox spelling thingie!

Walsingham Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I think it's damned irresponsible dressing up as zombies. You'll like as not get a fridge dropped on you. "It wasn't lies.

LadyCrimson Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I'm always sequestered away in my office w/headphones on, gaming or something, and always forget it's Halloween... Hubby's installing Leopard on one of his PC's as I type. He heard you could, so after some tinkering, he is. This amuses me somehow. “Things are as they are.

Trenitay Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I'm not allowed to forget it's Halloween because it's my cousin's birthday and my sister's favorite holiday. Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck.
Walsingham Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) I'm not allowed to forget it's Halloween because it's my cousin's birthday and my sister's favorite holiday. What the hell happens if you DO forget? You get haunted by the ghost of party-poppers past? EDIT: Stayed up late last night, playing Red Orchestra, and listening to the In the Mood for Love soundtrack. I was playing a sniper map, and the ponderous bittersweet melodies made me actually effective as a sniper which I never usually am. Came in second or first most games. Upbetimes, and had a lie in. This may not seem remarkable but I just realised I haven't had an actual lie in in the five years since we found out my mom had cancer. Lay in my remarkably comfy bed, reading a couple of books, and listening to the wind hoovering the autumn leaves. Edited November 1, 2009 by Walsingham "It wasn't lies.

Aristes Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Went to the inlaws and handed out some candy. Played with my neice. left and met mom, dad, and sis for dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Said goodbye to my family as they returned home this morning.
Trenitay Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 What the hell happens if you DO forget? You get haunted by the ghost of party-poppers past? Getting haunted is very scary and unpleasant you know. I would rather keep my unpleasant scary experiences to a minimum. Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it.

Shryke Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 looks like i might have another photoshoot this wednesday this time it's with someone different, so guess i'll see how it goes when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
