I just sewed a button back onto my new coat. I haven't sewed anything in years, now I feel all accomplished :grin:

[Ballerina]

I got my first decent haircut since May. Couldn't find anyone in Saragoa who cut my hair right, and I tried 4 different places each of the 4 times I needed a hair cut.

I hate getting my hair cut. :embarassed: The last time was someone in March and I'll hold out until I can't take it anymore.

[Vertigo]

I need a haircut but am too lazy to get one, and I don't know what I want

[Somnambulist]

I just set the fire alarm off with the steam from my shower. Oops.

[Silverbulletday]

I might be going to see Paranormal Activity tonight with a couple of friends - I brought my muscle relaxers with me. :grin: I think there's a 95% chance that I'll be scarred for life, so I think I might be able to actually sit thru it if I have a little help.

I like to keep my hair short, and unless it's cut every 4 or 5 weeks, I start looking like a chrysanthemum.

there's still a chance that we might see Law Abiding Citizen, so that would suit me just fine.

That's the problem with short hair. I told my stylist I wanted him to come up with a style this winter so I could go 3-4 months without a cut! He didn't seem enthused. But, whatever. It's not like I leave the house in the winter, anyway.

A new salon opened up in my area earlier this year. Vietnamese owners - husband wife, 2 daughters, owner's sister and her 2 daughters.

I tried them out for a manicure and pedicure and then went back for eybrow and leg waxing. I saw the owner cutting another customer's hair and was impressed with the method and patience he exhibited in his work. So I decided to let him cut my hair. When he was through, he asked if I was pleased. I was - extremely so. So he took a photo face on, left side, right side, and back and put it in "my file". When I went back today, he pulled out "my file" and asked if I wanted my hair cut the same way?

That's a very caring professional who takes pride in his work, in my opinion. AND, he charges $18 for a haircut.

[Silverbulletday]

Oh thank god - PA sold out while we were in line.

[CoronadosQuest]

ETCHED WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vertigo]

Last regular season home football game of my high school career. oh man, it was a good three years. Now time for playoffs

[KellyKip]

We won't be going to any playoffs this year (like we EVER did). Lost again last night.

Our last home game isn't until Nov.13. It's Senior Night, and I KNOW that game gonna be a toughie for me.

Wow, great service and price!

[ezgoerbaby]

I got a a raise 2 months early! and im totally psyched about the 4H program I signed my daughter up for. I am not a good teacher and she wants to learn how to ride and handle horses properly...my horse is too much for her to learn on although she has excellent ground manners and my daughter has learned quite a bit about working safely around them. She's pretty stoked because they learn natural horsemanship and training. This will be great!

I finally annoyed someone into seeing Paranormal Activity with me. :grin:

[Vertigo]

I saw Fight Club.
I chipped a tooth while watching it.

As in, the 10-year-old movie Fight Club, with Brad Pitt, etc.? If so, what took you so long?

[Vertigo]

Mhmm.
I just...never saw it. I was too young to see it when it came out, and just haven't until now.

I triple dog dare you to post your picture of him with the lollipop!!!

I'm listening to Christmas music for the first time this year! :grin: I need something soft, and I'm a little tired of Michael Buble at the moment.

My sister and I were playing Point of Grace and Avalon the other day. :grin:

[Silverbulletday]

Their Christmas albums? Avalon's is one of my absolute favs!!! I was totally listening to that one last night, too.

[Somnambulist]

Yeah the Christmas ones. Both of them have all my favorite Christmas songs; I have such great memories associated with them. Only 9 full weeks left. :grin:

I am going to the Mizzou Texas game tomorrow....YAY!!!!

[Vertigo]

I may have death cramps tomorrow.
I also have the ACT tomorrow.

Good one, uterus. You win this time.

[Somnambulist]

I'm writing an essay on whether or not the path in which to get into a selective college compromises equally or not. I want to ram my head into a desk.

[Silverbulletday]

How did your ACT go, Carly?

Also, I lit a cookie on fire in the barn microwave this morning. :grin: ROTFLMAO. The guys came running to see what the smell was, haha.

[Vertigo]

Alright! Cramps weren't too bad. Plus it seemed easier than the SAT. I love that you can guess

[Silverbulletday]

I loved the ACT. It was definitely easier for me than the SAT because it's much more of an achievment test than the SAT, which is designed to be more of an intelligence test.

[Somnambulist]

I'm writing about that stupid test right now. I never took the ACT and never took the SAT seriously... I fell asleep after part 6 both times I took it. It doesn't even accurately measure how well you'll do in college. Plus it's too long. :angry:

[Vertigo]

Wow, my ARod hater friends on facebook sure do act fast :laugh: :laugh:

My parents love me, and want me to be happy :smiley:

City Style is running tomorrow.

[KellyKip]

Going to the last marching band competition of my daughter's high school career tomorrow. It's somewhat bittersweet, but some parts of me are glad.

[mariasmon]

City Style is running tomorrow.


He's been off for a while, then. He needs to join the US string.

[Afrashad]

I think bin Suroor said he had feet problems, but I may be thinking of the other horse they have running in the same race.

[Silverbulletday]

My favorite part of Halloween - the Ghost Hunters marathon. :smiley:

Elton John has Ecoli :sad:

2nd and 4th, eh? City Style wants to be a US runner, I'm telling you!

[CoronadosQuest]

I find it amusing when a horse goes off at 2/5 and then finishes dead last. Especially when that said 2/5 favorite has really done nothing to deserve those odds.

[mariasmon]

Where'd Diabolical go?

[Vertigo]

Uuuuhhhggggg... the concert was tomorrow :sad:

Arch Enemy is going to be at Nokia Theatre. They're one of my favorite bands and almost never play here. I am SO excited.

Is it telling that Frankie is on Sara Louise and not Seventh Street?

[Afrashad]

Is it telling that Frankie is on Sara Louise and not Seventh Street?


I don't think so. Prado stuck with Game Face, so they had to put someone on Sara Louise. I believe Frankie has experience with SL being that she was in Dubai over the winter.

[mariasmon]

Not sure I would've picked Game Face over Sara Louise, but we'll see what happens.

[Afrashad]

I don't like Game Face over the synthetics, but she may like this one.

[mariasmon]

Think Game Face is retiring after this? I'd like to see her crossed with Rockport Harbor, but I guess she's more likely to go to Bernardini or Street Cry.

[Afrashad]

Yeah, I think she'll retire. Street Cry wouldn't be bad with her at all.

[Afrashad]

We finally get to the race where I'll stop breathing. :laugh:

[Afrashad]

Crisford likes Music Note, but most of the barn likes Cocoa Beach. They clearly have better taste than he does.

[mariasmon]

I'm thinking Henny Hughes x Game Face, Medaglia d'Oro x Cocoa Beach and Street Cry x Ugly Mug in 2010.

[mariasmon]

Rajiv Maragh's English has gotten very good.

[Afrashad]

I shall stop breathing now.

[mariasmon]

CB is not as good as last year. I hope she runs in the Matriarch, though. She'd have a shot and it'd be nice to see her finish up with a win.

Was I the only one that heard them refer to Cocoa Beach yesterday as Cocoa B!tch? I'm sure it was just a slip up, but I swear I heard it....

[Afrashad]

Lookin At Lucky wasn't the best horse in the race. That is all.

[Silverbulletday]

Lookin At Lucky wasn't the best horse in the race. That is all.


Totally agree.

I'm just hoping that he comes back all right. It was way too far for him.

[CoronadosQuest]

Lucky reminds me of Roman Ruler...

Boy, I think he was. He sure ran a lot farther than the distance by which he was beaten. The winner ran very well, though.

[mariasmon]

All credit to the winner, a very nice colt who got to the wire first, but Lookin at Lucky would almost surely have won with a better post position. For that matter, Zensational might've, too. Or at least hit the board.

Zensational was victim of a very peculiar ride. Why in the world did he take him back?!?!? You're on one of the fastest horses in the world-- you don't fix what ain't broke. Let 'em beat you doing what you do best.

I wouldn't have been the least bit surprised for Zensational to have been beaten had he done his usual thing, as horses do sometimes spit out the bit when challenged or bounced around in a big field for the first time. But dang, I sure didn't foresee the race unfolding the way it did.

[mariasmon]

All I can think is that Espinoza was taken out of his game when the horse broke poorly and was quickly shut out of any forwardly-placed position. Granted, VE is an experienced jock, who should've had Plan B ready and executed it. But, that's the main reason I thought the pp might've made the difference, as he might've still been able to get near the front of the pack if they hadn't been in the 1 hole.

I really hope I get to take Neural Plasticity next semester, otherwise I'll go a whole year without any neuro. Which, considering that it's my major, is probably not a good thing :tongue:

Neural Plasticity is such an awesome concept. I love dealing with anything about it because it's fascinating. Our brain is capable of so much, and we don't even know the half of it yet, which is an amazing thought in itself.

Pysch stats sounds horrible. I got out of it because I just took regular psych and transferred in. They're offering a Drugs and the Brain class next semester, I'm really tempted to take it.

[Commentator]

Oooh Drugs and the Brain sounds really interesting. Unfortunately I need Psych Stats for my major, I swear the class is 90%... stuff that isn't math. Thankfully there's just four more weeks of it.

And Neural Plasticity really does sound awesome, I just hope I get in because it's such a tiny class. It's nice to see somebody else who appreciates just how amazing our brains are :grin: I'm also hoping to take Human Memory and Cognition, which is another fascinating topic. Have you read about the recent findings that Ecstasy can reduce PTSD by basically reconstructing a memory and removing the emotional aspect of it? There's been so much recent research on memory and it's all pretty mind-blowing.

I have not, but now I'll have to go poke around and find it instead of doing something productive. :laugh: After this test I'm spending the remainder of the semester on memory/sleep, and I'm so excited to learn it. It's so bad, I tell everyone I know about all these cool things and they just threaten to tape my mouth shut because they find it boring. Yay for people who like brains. :grin:

[Vertigo]

Finally spilled my hear to my "creeper" and now I don't know what to feel.
I use the term creeper as more of an inside joke between a group of friends (including him) so don't think I am getting with some ACTUAL creeper :tongue:

Its weird, I've known he's liked me for a while, and around our second date I realized i do actually like him. But it's hard--he's in college now in California. I'll see him on Christmas and Thanksgiving but... still. It just seems hard.

Haha I get that a lot too.

I'm hoping to go into linguistic neuroscience, which is another awesome topic. The things little kid brains are capable of accomplishing when it comes to language!

Neuroscience is completely beyond me, but I wanted to thank y'all for bringing up sleep paralysis. I've had it quite a bit, and it's absolutely terrifying. I'm glad to know that it's actually a medical condition and not just a freak thing I've had going on. :laugh:

I'm glad to know that it's actually a medical condition and not just a freak thing I've had going on. :laugh:It's not freaky at all! Well it can be to experience, but it's not unusual :smiley: What happens is, your body paralyzes itself during sleep to prevent you from acting out dreams. But if the signals get a bit mixed up, you can end up waking up before the paralysis is terminated.. and sometimes your brain is still dreaming a bit, which is the cause of the super-realistic hallucinations. So next time it happens, just remember that your brain is having some communication issues... it happens to the best of us :wink:

And thanks Som! It's looking highly unlikely though, my class is more than half filled up and only the seniors have registered :laugh: Maybe for the best though, I can't imagine taking a neuro lab on top of organic chemistry, yuck.

Major changed. And I'll have less time tacked onto my time here than I thought. Sweet deal.

[Silverbulletday]

So, maybe you girls can help me out with this. Since I posted that about the sleep paralysis, it's gotten a lot worse. Last night was bad - I slept soundly for about 5 hours, then was up every 30 minutes fighting with the hallucinations. I think I was getting really angry at one point and tried to scream at something, but I don't know if I actually did or not. Is there anything that I can do about it? It's not so terrifying, just more annoying than anything.

[Commentator]

Wow, that's awful! And not something I've ever really heard of, unfortunately. I think I've read that sleeping on your back can lead to it more often than other positions, and it's really important to establish a consistent sleep cycle. The one time I experienced sleep paralysis was during a nap, and I try to avoid naps because they really mess with my sleep schedule. You know what works best for you, maybe try going to bed at the same time every night, if you don't already? Good luck, I hope you start feeling better soon!

[Silverbulletday]

I'm not usually picky about bedtime, but I will keep that in mind. Last night I tried sleeping with my bedside lamp on, which definitely helped. I was still rolling over every 30 minutes, but I was at least awake rather than paralyzed. I think I'll try a nightlight tonight and see if that's a happy medium.

If you're still having problems with it by Monday, let me know and if you want I'll ask my professor about it. I don't know much about it other than it sucks to have, but maybe she'll have a better solution.

[Ballerina]

Googled "sleep paralysis treatment" and a world of web-sites came up.

I had never heard of the condition - sounds frightening. This is informative:

http://www.fountia.com/sleep-disorders/sleep-paralysis-treatment

[Silverbulletday]

Thanks Som, and Bal, too. That's a great link. I've noticed that I definitely wake up on my back when I do experience it, even though I never fall asleep on my back. :undecided:

[Ballerina]

I know the web-site I posted mentions some of these, but as someone who suffers from sleep deficit (total different than SP), it's worth mentioning.

It would be good for you to evaluate your going to sleep patterns and if they indeed do follow a pattern.

Is your mattress, pillow, and bedding of good quality. Sleeping in a cooler room helps sleep. Eating or watching tv in bed before you try to go to sleep can be a factor. Not gearing down before going to bed can be a factor. This very well may cause you to be tense as you try to go to sleep and remain tense once asleep. Going to bed at different times every night can be a factor.

I really don't know if any of these contribute to your sleep problem. But they are questions you can ask yourself and experiment around with them to see if a change in any of these patterns might help. I know that when I stay away from the no no's listed above, I sleep a lot better, a lot sounder, and wake up with a lot less stress.

Loss of sleep or problems with sleeping can lead to a bunch of problems. Hope you're able to find a solution, SBD.

College is such a money sucker. It's insane what I need to take in order to fill basic requirements.

Good to hear SBD!

Feminine Spirituality sounds horrifying :laugh: I'm extremely grateful that my school has no core curriculum or requirements. Although, out of my four courses next semester, only one of them has any point. I'm waaay too far ahead on my major, there's nothing I can really take for it right now.

I transferred into a program that I can ONLY enter in the fall, but I'm not going to make up everything I need in time, so I think I'm going to be stuck here another year for no reason. I'm thinking I'm just going to double major at this point because I'm not wasting my time here. It's just so stupid, I guess the only good thing is that prior to this year I never took out a student loan.

I went from wanting a PhD in Psychology to getting a BS in Health Sciences and a BA/BS in something else. Man plans, God laughs.

Why?

[Vertigo]

There is no place for essays or anything.
I am going to ask like 3 people to write letters of rec though :afro:

[mariasmon]

Do you have a Tapit hat, Carly?

[Somnambulist]

There is no place for essays or anything.


Just call and ask them if there's any address to mail it, or a number to fax it to. Most of the colleges I applied to didn't provide any space to include extra activities/essays, but were more than happy to give me somewhere to send one, if they even wanted one. Some don't because they've got such a huge number of applicants.

Home videos from Somnambulist around age 8 instead of a paper? Sounds good. :grin:

I do not...

I am so, so, SO ready for Thanksgiving break. Sooo ready. Ugh.

In other news, registering was for the most part spectacularly unsuccessful. Looks like I'm taking Organic Chemistry (hooray!), Human Ancestors, Human Memory and Cognition, and Evolutionary Psychology. Guess which one goes towards my major! Hint, it's not a psych course :tongue:

[Somnambulist]

Organic Chem? Ew. I used to leaf through my friend's textbook when she took it, it looked horrible. Memory and Cognition sounds fun though.

I'm takingggg: Philosophical Psychology (What in the world??), Environmental Geology, Technological Trends in Society (What in the world? x2), Intro to the Solar System, and Revolutionary China (also What in the world?). Yay! This is basically a make up semester of everything I need to fill the general education requirements. I wanted to take Anatomy & Physiology so at least I could do something towards my major, but they don't offer it. How do you not offer anatomy every semester. :huh:

Apparently abbreviations such as w.t.f. are taboo. :laugh:

[Commentator]

My favorite professor referred to Organic as "hazing for scientists" :laugh: Naturally, it's the only one that means anything. And I'm definitely looking forward to the memory class the most- the professor is fantastic and it's such a cool topic.

Philosophical Psychology... I can't even imagine a syllabus for that course :laugh: But I avoid philosophy like the plague. Geology is always fun though, and the solar system class sounds interesting. I think we only have physiology in the spring... and it's the most difficult course in the science department, thank goodness it's not a requirement.

Thank goodness we're being shielded from the evils of acronyms :tongue:

[Vertigo]

Dear manager,


I am glad you understand that the only day from the 20 to the 26 is Sunday the 21.
So thank you for giving me 39 ours of work, 32 of which I cannot work.
My favorite thing is the thought of "wow, I could earn $273 if I didn't stay true to my three other commitments."

So, thanks!

The funeral home can have a military band member come & play Taps, and have a military funeral, if that's what the family wants. When my Dad passed, he had the whole shebang....Taps, military pall bearers (all were friends/relatives, though), and a 21 gun salute.

I really wish they'd put the grades from my third social psych exam up already so I can find out if I need to take the final. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put short answers on a test in a class with a cap of 280 is just stupid.

[Commentator]

I haaate it when work gets back late. Although I wish we had some way of getting exempt from finals. Right now I'm working on a take-home that's due... when I'm supposed to do a sit-down final tomorrow. The professor only released the take-home this morning, and she also had a research paper due today. And she was late getting our grades and comments from the last essay back to us. It would have been really nice to know those things BEFORE handing my final essay in.

Whatever. Good luck on finals Som! Thank goodness it's almost over...

[Somnambulist]

Yeah, that's retarded to a whole new level. If you haven't done a course evaluation yet have fun with that. :laugh:

Thanks, and good luck on yours too. Just think.. if idiot likes our worst professors can get degrees and eventually hold esteemed positions in their field we can too. That thought is probably my only saving grace at times. :tongue:

[Commentator]

Oh, to add insult to injury I sent in my course evaluations yesterday :laugh: But that is a good way to think of it! This professor NEVER lets us forget that she went to Oxford. If she could make it at Oxford, maybe there's hope for me yet :tongue:

[Somnambulist]

Dumbest final ever.

Thing was supposed to start at 5:15, but they honestly put the test together in front of us, so it didn't start until 5:35. Then they found out they that about 1/5 of the test were questions on a section we were told we weren't responsible for, so they essentially giving us free points for 8/40 questions.

Upper division class, huh? I hate sociology.

Why does my arm hurt for a whole day every time I get a flu shot? I try not to tense up. Most people just go skipping off after their shot, while I throb for hours. This year, both of my arms hurt because I got the H1N1 shot in one arm and the seasonal flu shot in the other. Argh.

They're muscle shots, and it's not unusual that you would have pain. Some people experience more discomfort than others. My arm was sore for a day or so. My husband's arm was sore for close to a week.

I think that people who have heavier muscling in their arms are going to hurt longer. I'm surprised they gave you both vaccines at the same time. I did not get the H1N1 shot, but my GP recommends waiting 2 - 3 weeks between inoculations.

The CDC says it's okay to give them both at the same time, but some doctors don't because in the event of a reaction they're dealing with two vaccines that might be causing it or one and not knowing which one. If you haven't experienced a reaction by now, you won't.

What is it about having an egg allergy that makes it so you shouldn't get flu shots?

The vaccine may contain some egg protein. Ingredients for the flu vaccine are grown inside eggs.

Kidney stones are like trying to pass a bowling ball through your urinary tract, and as each minute goes by, the bowling ball gets bigger. You think you're going to die and you're afraid you're not going to. It's the most gawd awful pain anyone can ever go through.

Once the stone passes, you can't imagine how something that small could cause so much pain.

Wish some of those GB terrorists would have had them naturally - any secret they possessed could have easily been extracted from them during an attack. "And, ya don't get pain med until we verify the info."

I basically had an emotional breakdown today at work. Everything I hate most in life seemed to happen then, or earlier today. I then got pulled aside and a manager told me that she had "many complaints" about what I've said to people, and how I act. She told me to watch what I say, and how I say it next time.

That really didn't help. I truly thought I got along great with everyone there. I don't recall being mean or having an attitude at all at work.

When I got the job I told myself I need to be more outgoing and not as quiet as I am at school, or at home. And then this happens. I guess I am going to be more quiet, now.

And now it is confirmed that she is dying. Lovely.

[Somnambulist]

Pretty sure UA has a better business program, but I'm pulling this stat from my brain from about 2-3 years ago so you might want to poke around to see if it's changed.

The summers aren't unbearable there, but everything is well air conditioned and if you're in outside complexes they have misters to keep you cool. Plus there's minimal humidity, and it rarely gets cold. Then again that's my own bias talking... I hate, hate snow and being cold.
