What time is it for you Aeglos?
it's 9 in the morning now

I only read the last couple of pages, too many otherwise, forgive my hermity laziness.
I now have an official high-school graduate for a daughter. It's funny how science-fictiony I used to think 2011 was when I figured out her grad date. Yet, here we are, and still no g!%*$%ned flying DeLoreans ...I WANT MY MOTHER F+!!ING JETPACK!!!!After driving on regular roads for over a decade now, I gotta say no to this one. It's insane enough on the roads with all these different types of drivers... if they were flying too, there would be no save place to hide.
Edit: And I forgot my original point: congrats to Pat and his daughter on her graduation. :)
It's the master/mistress/miosetewrs! Die! Die! Would you like a flower chicken?

Another 4-eyes here. I have sensitive eyes, and contacts would be expensive for my astigmatism, so I see no point spending a lot of money on contacts I could barely wear.So, quick poll to gloss over insinuations!
Do you wear glasses or contact lenses for eyesight (not cosmetics)?Glasses. I tried contacts for a while, but my allergies rendered that impossible. My eyes were always either too watery or too dry and very much too itchy. There were a lot of things I liked about contacts, but I just couldn't make them work for me.
Edit: Wearing nothing bu glasses for the top. :)
Soft contacts for me. Started out with glasses in fifth grade when I couldn't see the chalkboard from the first row of desks in class. Graduated to soft contacts sometime in middle school, but had to go back to glasses in high school because one eye developed an astigmatism. Tried glass-permeable ("hard") contacts for six months at college, but they made me want to gouge out my eyes, so back to glasses. A couple years later, finally switched to toric soft contacts, and am much happier.
CH: Last time I bought them, I only paid $35-$36 for a 6-pack of toric soft lenses (x2 for both eyes) that lasted me 6 months. Actually, I made them last a year by only switching to a new pair every two months. But I take mine out every night for cleaning.
Storytime!
From an old assistant teacher (old as in age, but also way back when), whose name I could never remember:
One time I went in to the optometrist for glasses (having had bad vision for a while), and he instead suggested these new things called contact lenses. Ever the humour-er, I agreed and he got me into a study. I tried them on, and they worked great! So I paid the optometrist, went home (I was a teenager at the time), and went about my business for a few months. Back then, we didn't know to take out the contacts at night. However, my vision began to grow blurry again. I thought the contacts needed cleaning, so I . . . removed them. I was in an agony of white light for the whole afternoon, and then for weeks afterwards, as my eyes slowly regrew. Unfortunately, the contacts had begun to fuse to my eyes. I still wear contacts now (plastic ones), but I am one of the reasons doctors warn patients to take contacts out at night.

I had cookie dough ice cream.
I had dancing for one and a half hours straight. Not much, as I'm obviously still conscious (and my legs feel fine). Prom wasn't as bad as I expected. Apparently I'm nowhere near as bad a dancer as I thought (I was definitely dancing more than other guys). Chalk one up for low expectations losing!

You can fill them with gasoline!

Tonight, I got to leap from my Roc animal companion as it soared over a raging inferno to fight a barbed devil who was slaughtering innocents... and I had both Fire Resistance 30 and Evil Outsiders as a favored enemy!
F@%@ YEAH!!!
Today I got attacked by a random guy with a giant eagle!

Oh, and I think I lost my cell phone somewhere! Good times!
- Hardly any numbers, but my own email.
- A s&%$#@#$ of pictures from my one trip to Europe in 15 years or so.
- Some before/after pictures of scotch broom cutting for my government class' final project.
- In my date's car.
- At the location (though I think I would have heard it fall out of my pocket, as I checked the time after the music had stopped).
- Somewhere between the location of the prom and where my date parked (highly unlikely, as I wasn't really using that pocket for anything but holding the phone on the walk to her car).

I had forgotten just how eye-wateringly boring graduating ceremonies can be
I missed all of mine: high school and two post-sec degrees. Did_not_care...
Now I did go to award ceremonies in my karateka days. Those were fun.
*blink*
Morning/afternoon/evening all
Vegetable garden is in, fully and finally.
Looks like another beautiful day here
Time to get the chores done
*blink*
Good Morning all. Hundreds of posts since I was last here. What did I miss?
I'll leave you unconscious with this question: Why do women have to wear high heels?
Societal norms, and, in at least one case I've heard of, because SunshineGrrrl nagged at her. ;)
finally some people in here
how are you all?

Also, the mechanics of the high heels make the woman's ...um ..derriere .. look more fetching to the male eye. It's a social display thing ...

Meh. Tired. Had my daughter's graduation, then finished planting squash and green beans. Back is very sore this morning, but I have quite a bit of compost to flip.

Why would SunshineGrrrl want her goblin to wear high heels? ;)

LOL, look south. That's French. We stole it, much as we stole 'Gesundheit' and 'sauerkraut' from you folk.

I was getting worried ... to think ... I was the only ... hot blooded heterosexual male ... here. :)HOT DAMN!This Friday is lacking BttH material. Allow myself to indulge in being the resident creeper. I've now forgotten Erin Andrews @ ESPN. Erin Hawksworth is officially my new favorite sports newscaster.
Sorry, I was in my bunk.

Seems Houston Derek is being moved and is listed in Transit. All mail sent seems to be sent back.
Crap. I sent a post card, and I hadn't heard back. I take it the old address is no longer valid.

As we walked from McMenamin's (a "chain" atmosphere restaurant, often better than local restaurants, but kinda pricey) to the prom, college kids kept asking, "Are you going to the prom?" "Which school?", and, more awkwardly, "Are you in high school?" I would have ignored them or answered, "No, it's a funeral," "Santiam Christian" (the only Christian right school in an area of about two counties) (which I'm not actually from, of course), and what someone else suggested, "I'm 35 and having a mid-life crisis! This is my high school date!" My date kept reflexively saying "Yes," and "Thank you!" and then wondering why she did so. We passed (twice) the Battle of the Bands concert, and looked (briefly) at college kids (and younger and older, but mostly college) throwing frisbees all over the place and dancing. We played, for a few moments (we were already about an hour late, not that being late to prom is bad), with just skipping and listening to good music, but we went to prom instead (the music wasn't that bad, just unremarkable). We contemplated going back afterwards at 11:00, but everyone who was taking a ride with my date (but me?) was too tired.

I hope it was a good and memorable experience.

"P. m." stands for "post meridian." "Meridian" refers to the middle point of the sun at noon. "A. m." stands for "ante meridian," or "before the meridian." I guess it's harder to remember if you don't natively speak a language with Latin roots (English would be much more similar to German and the Scandinavian languages if it weren't for the French invasion).
Welcome back, Gark!
Hello, everybody else!
And, now, to continue my journey to Georgia...
