I want one too. From KC's hottie neighbor boys. Both of 'em. I'm still a big girl.

Note to self: Do NOT choose a movie on Thursday night and expect it to be showing at the same times on Friday! :crying: Went all the way to the movie theater to see Orphan (last night showed a 2pm showing) and the first one they have TODAY is 4:20. BUGGER!! So... I hadda go buy mojitos instead. :frown:

Omg, buy her a mojito from me. Guys are THE biggest wussies when they've got a COLD. I can't even imagine dealing with one in the hospital. :crying: I'd be like, "Good thing there are nurses and doctors around so when I try to kill you, you might have a chance."

Ahhh, gotcha. Omg, I KNOW!! What's with THAT?? Never saw a townhouse in my life until I moved here, but when I visited last week, we drove past an area where they've built some! Used to be apartments or houses -- not even really condos, except maybe in town. Guess maybe Houston is going the way of so many others and starting to scrimp on the land? That was the one thing Houston has/had plenty of was land. Well, then parking lots and strip centers... :crying: I can't believe how many strip centers have died yet they have all those new ones waiting to fill up. Good ol' Houston. Gotta keep them illegals working, yanno... :frown:

PJTP: ColoradoChick sent this to me as her "new favorite site." I don't know how she finds this stuff, but there's some good reading here! It appears this guy responds to ads posted online (Craigslist?) in a rather Borat-ish way. Some of them are laugh-out-loud funny. I haven't gone through a ton of them yet, but it's VERY entertaining! Warning: There are some "F" bombs and other colorful words in them, so read at your own risk. E-mails from an Asshole

I wish Ebony lived nearby. We could have so much fun "wogging"!! :crying:

I'd like to say it's better than it sounds, but these days I find that things I USED to like are kinda ick for me now. It's funny how I will eat something now that I haven't had since before banding, and I'll say to somebody, "Omg, WHY did I like this??" So yeah, I probably wouldn't like it as much as I used to when I was the human garbage disposal.

I just could never get used to the heat. Lived there most of my life (27 years) and it never got any easier. And the HUMIDITY! Don't even get me started. :crying: I'm guessing when you were here the cost of homes wasn't so bad...? When we moved here, it was freakin' insane. I can't believe what nearly a half-million WON'T buy you here compared to Houston. In Houston, if we paid there what we paid HERE, we'd be living in a McMansion. A NEW, BIG, NICE McMansion. Here we got 2200 square feet with a yard that extends less than 20 feet in any direction. We went from a mortgage of less than $1,000 in Houston to a mortgage of $2900 here (including escrow on both). Certainly I feel you get more bang for your buck in Texas (Houston for sure) than you do many other places.

I found out the day I got back from Houston that I can't do pancakes. Had hubby take me to IHOP (wanted some eggs, sausage, and harvest grain and nut) and totally pb'ed on the cakes. :crying:

Well, the only way I figured out ONE person who changed was her icon/photo. There was that Donna person who was in one (or both) of the PnkPottymouth threads that you and I were reading/responding in, and I see that she (Donna) is now "FailureIsNotAnOption" or some such thing. Granted, she has about the same number of posts as I remember her Donna moniker having, so I don't know if she has a second moniker or simply changed the name of her first one. I noticed she changed it because I remember the picture of her, which is her icon.

I DO love the Hill Country. I knew I was screwed when I said I didn't miss Texas. In reality, I don't miss Houston. I know Texas has a little bit of everything there and has some really fantastic places. I can't take the insane heat, the humidity (Houston probably more than many other areas), and flatness (again, Houston probably more than many other areas). The cost of living is great, but the job pay is not, so it all evens out. Then again, if anything happened here (marriage, whatever), I have nothing to really keep me here except that I love it.

I'm guessing it's just the unknown. But as I read this, I'm thinking to myself how I worked a full-time job, took two VERY HEAVY writing classes (English 302 and BIS 300) where anywhere from 10-20 pages was due each week, and I not only succeeded, I made the dean's list with a 3.85. So... maybe it was my inner voice trying to assure me that, though it will be a heavy load, I will be able to do it. Congrats on doing it yourself! The nice thing about the university I'm attending is that when I was there in January '08, I was by far the oldest student in my class. In college, they're ALL 18-20 years old and annoying as hell. At university, it's a mix. And I think especially when you take night classes, it's almost exclusively adults.

HAHAHA, too funny! As I was reading this in its original form, the sentence was broken up between "on" and "duty" -- "I would be on..." And I'm thinking you were gonna say "that like a duck on a junebug," or, "[on] that like white on rice." :crying::frown:

Shoot, I'd be ripping my own plumbing out from the ground up to get those guys to come over! :crying:

A woman after my own heart! :crying:

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :crying::frown: And the guys think they have a corner market on perving. Pfffftttt!!

I wonder how much it has to do with her reacting to your surgery, or you being more in tune with how consumed y'all both were with food, especially now that you can't make it the center of your life.

Wow, really? When I did the Cosmo Bachelor thing for 2005, for your city it gave a name. Not him? :laugh:

Erm, did you know he has his own website with modeling pics on it?????

If his initials are N. R. (didn't want to post his name here), he's done some modeling and ad work!

Okay, missy, I have ONE question: Can you make the pictures any BIGGER??? I'm strainin' mah old eyes here! :laugh:

Oh... my... GOD......... >tremble< I hafta... erm...... I need to... uh....... I'll be right back. :laugh:

LOL, I think you're nuts too, but it's a noble profession. Not all are called, that's for sure. I should have about four full-load semesters to finish (including summer session) as I'm about halfway there (59 hours out of 120). I figured if I could do about 15 each semester, I will finish by December of 2010 (YAY, originally I thought it would be April of 2011!). >edit< Though now that I think of it, there is a senior class I have to take where it is HIGHLY recommended you take no other classes during that time as it is so time-intensive. That may have been for working people, but I guess I'll see. So it MAY be spring of 2011 after all... :laugh:

But... but... I have hills here! **she whines plaintively** Did I miss another good thread? That wasn't the "horny" one, was it? By the way, it's PnkPottymouth. lol

Hmmm... *taps finger to chin :laugh:
