Nekkid panic for ToTP!!
Same thing happened to me, without the nekkid. Now we know that missing Happy Fun Box means there's another page.
We started an ad on LivingSocial today. I didn't expect much from it, but 24 vouchers have already been sold. Some people from Arizona and Connecticut have bought them as gifts for locals. It runs for 6-1/2 more days! Woo-hoo!
Poor kid. Poor Mom and Dad.
Well, the wife took the boy to the doctor's office today about his continued fever/snotty nose/craptasticness. He has RSV and an ear infection.
So, antibiotics for the ear, and breathing treatments for the RSV.
Oh joy.
Hopefully the breathing treatments don't cause too much hyperactivity, and it will simply be caused by him feeling better.
Indigestion - a trade good, such as metal ore and foodstuffs

Yep.
My throat hurts so bad. My lymph nodes are swollen so much that at first I thought I might have dislocated my jaw. :(
I need to go to the doctor, but I don't have time thanks to exams coming up.
On the bright side, I found out that there is a comprehensive retake at the end for microbiology, so even if I don't do super great on my final I still have a chance to wipe out that 83. I am so ready to be done with class. I don't even fricking need it. I thought I did when I signed up for it, but turns out no, not so much.
The Christmas Truce by Carol Ann Duffy
Christmas Eve in the trenches of France,
the guns were quiet.
The dead lay still in No Man's Land -
Freddie, Franz, Friedrich, Frank...
The moon, like a medal, hung in the clear, cold sky.
Silver frost on barbed wire, strange tinsel,
sparkled and winked.
A boy from Stroud stared at a star
to meet his mother's eyesight there.
An owl swooped on a rat on the glove of a corpse.
In a copse of trees behind the lines,
a lone bird sang.
A soldier-poet noted it down - a robin
holding his winter ground -
then silence spread and touched each man like a hand.
Somebody kissed the gold of his ring;
a few lit pipes;
most, in their greatcoats, huddled,
waiting for sleep.
The liquid mud had hardened at last in the freeze.
But it was Christmas Eve; believe; belief
thrilled the night air,
where glittering rime on unburied sons
treasured their stiff hair.
The sharp, clean midwinter smell held memory.
On watch, a rifleman scoured the terrain -
no sign of life,
no shadows, shots from snipers,
nowt to note or report.
The frozen, foreign fields were acres of pain.
Then flickering flames from the other side
danced in his eyes,
as Christmas Trees in their dozens shone,
candlelit on the parapets,
and they started to sing, all down the German lines.
Men who would drown in mud, be gassed, or shot,
or vaporised
by falling shells, or live to tell
heard for the first time then -
Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht, Alles schläft, einsam wacht...
Cariad, the song was a sudden bridge
from man to man;
a gift to the heart from home,
or childhood, some place shared...
When it was done, the British soldiers cheered.
A Scotsman started to bawl The First Noel
and all joined in,
till the Germans stood, seeing
across the divide,
the sprawled, mute shapes of those who had died.
All night, along the Western Front, they sang,
the enemies -
carols, hymns, folk songs, anthems,
in German, English, French;
each battalion choired in its grim trench.
So Christmas dawned, wrapped in mist,
to open itself
and offer the day like a gift
for Harry, Hugo, Hermann, Henry, Heinz...
with whistles, waves, cheers, shouts, laughs.
Frohe Weihnachten, Tommy! Merry Christmas, Fritz!
A young Berliner,
brandishing schnapps,
was the first from his ditch to climb.
A Shropshire lad ran at him like a rhyme.
Then it was up and over, every man,
to shake the hand
of a foe as a friend,
or slap his back like a brother would;
exchanging gifts of biscuits, tea, Maconochie's stew,
Tickler's jam... for cognac, sausages, cigars,
beer, sauerkraut;
or chase six hares, who jumped
from a cabbage-patch, or find a ball
and make of a battleground a football pitch.
I showed him a picture of my wife.
Ich zeigte ihm
en Foto meiner Frau.
Sie sei schön, sagte er.
He thought her beautiful, he said.
They buried the dead then, hacked spades
into hard earth
again and again, till a score of men
were at rest, identified, blessed.
Der Herr is mein Hirt... my shepherd, I shall not want.
And all that marvellous, festive day and night,
they came and went,
the officers, the rank and file,
their fallen comrades side by side
beneath the makeshift crosses of midwinter graves...
...beneath the shivering, shy stars
and the pinned moon
and the yawn of History;
the high, bright bullets
which each man later only aimed at the sky.

I'm working as a projectionist and repair guy at a local movie theater. Not the most glamorous job but it pays well.Just finished another 11 and half hour day. Want to drop.....Where are you working these days, Jeremy?
I was always interested in that as a kid.
Well, the wife took the boy to the doctor's office today about his continued fever/snotty nose/craptasticness. He has RSV and an ear infection.
So, antibiotics for the ear, and breathing treatments for the RSV.
Oh joy.
I hope he feels better soon.
Who planted these tulips all over through the thread?
I am going to blame Tiny Tim.
DO IT!

Lots and lots of it.... Did you have anything specific in mind. :-)
Doing Twizzlers vs. Redvines. Not sure who's gonna win, although I've never had Redvines before. Have some gummy worms just in case things get hairy.

Did anybody see the stupid?
Yeah, he was riding with me all day to learn the route, so naturally he brought a book and read.
I asked him if he thought if he could remember how to get to one house and he replied "Dude I have no idea where we are."
Is that the stupid?

Although the VAST majority of the site disgust me, I still follow a small handful of the artist. More and more though the same artist are discovering Deviant Art, and I prefer to see them there.

Unfortunate that you don't care for hentai foundry, but you are correct in that it is a great place to find the stuff some of the luminaries on Deviant Art can't/don't want to put up at that particular site.
Nekkid unfortunateness?!
