I like deals too!

[Emma]

:) DEALS ARE AWESOME.

[Emma]

I can spend $15 on a shirt at the most.

$30 for pants is good for me, nothing more.

[[deleted user]]

I love Steve & Barrys I spend $9.98 on my pants and my shirts are $5.98 to $9.98. I love it. But they closed by my house so the closest one is about 30 minutes away! Darn they aren't online either!

[[deleted user]]

We would have to be on good clothes not GR? ha ha. I will only spend money on bodymuffs!!!!

[[deleted user]]

Oh, I must go for now. My son is hounding me to go on neopets. I can read while he is one!

I'll return later. Happy day to all!

[Laura]

Hi TNBBC'ers. Nice to see you back Emma! Belated Happy Birthday Petra!

[Jeane]

Emilee I have a friend living in Wisconsin and my sister lived there for a couple of months.

Fiona, besides my sister, I don't have any family. at least I concider not having them anymore. before last time I went home, I concidered still my mother as a good part of it but now....she will have to show me that she doesn't defend the one that ruins everything for everyone or chooses him above me.


but that is it for now. going to watch a movie now.

[[deleted user]]

I have a hate that covers my ears and wore it yesterday when we were out. My ears were so warm!

[[deleted user]]

Jeane: Wisconsin border is about 2.5 hours away. It's usually a bit colder up their.

[[deleted user]]

Jeane: we are kinda your family!

[[deleted user]]

I think now that I've kicked my children off everyone has logged off!

tears, sobbing :(

[[deleted user]]

How was Wallander?

I just watched Second Hand Lions while goofing online. Like I'm always here except when I'm at work, reading or eating!

[[deleted user]]

When you type in a new comment we are allowed 8000 characters. So I wonder how many GR members have ever actually typed in 8000 characters in their comment.

Anyone?

[[deleted user]]

Okay I'm going now.

[[deleted user]]

Oh my Fiona! Wow! IT should now be a challenge to do 8000 characters! Laura, Jeane, Petra, Emma, anyone else up for it?

Okay so I'll try. Right now I'm at 7844 characters in this lovely comment that I am typing to you all. Okay Fiona this is really hard and I've hardly typed anything yet.

So, I wonder why I live in a very cold area when I dispise the cold. I really don't like the cold and I don't participate in any outdoor winter activities. I am a warm summery type of girl. Hiking, camping, climbing, cycling, swiming ect. I don't sled, ski, snowboard ect. But when I lived in Las Vegas Nevada it was too hot for me in the summer.

This is really hard Fiona. I don't know that I can do it. Yes I can. Though I might bore everyone to death.

My new kitten is a little stinker. She gets into everything. She has knocked down all the ornaments off our tree at least four times today plus knocked down the whole tree. Maybe I should put the tree down until Christmas. This year I got a fake small tree. I am now glad or I would have a watery mess all over the carpet.

Wow, only at 6901 characters.

I should try to think of something interesting and yet entertaining but it's late and I am tired. Okay it's not taht late but my kitten doesn't let me sleep so I am exhausted.

Fiona, why don't you move? Try London. I've always wanted to go to London. YOu could go for me since you are at least in the same country. How big is London?

I always thought I could never live in a big city. Then moved to Chicagoland. I actually really like it even though their is a small part of me that would love to be in a small town again. Who knows maybe when I retire I'll move to a small quite town. A place to die in peace. Ha ha.

I so have block I don't think that I can do 8000 characters. Wow! I am trying to think of something entertaining to write but jsut really have hit a road block.

I haven't even hit the halfway mark.

I wish it was Friday because I really don't feel like going to work tomorrow. I really dread Mondays. My job is so utterly boring. It is just so drab. But I must work especially since I need to support my reading habits, buying habits.

Commuting. One thing I really don't like about my job is the horrible commute on the tollways. The worst part is that they "expanded" the tollways and increased the price to cut down on the traffic. It's worse. That is the one thing I hate the most about driving in a big city is the road congestion. It is horrible. Usually just a parking lot.

Fiona, this is rather difficult I admire you for completing the task and also being able to write "finish". Wow this is hard and I'm not even half way there. I'm currently at 5285 characters remaining. Can I make it? We shall see.

I'm shoving a york peppermint patty in my mouth. Oh I love these things! Such a great treat. I love sweets.

If I can read all of these then it will only take me 19 years to read all the books on my TBR list. Which would be great because I know I'll keep adding more books to the list, especially with such great reading buddies as I have on GRs!

Wow! I am now at 330 characters remaining. Once you get going it is easier to type/write.

I didn't put Moby Dick on the list. I better start that now with all the other books that I'm reading. Ha ha.

It's so cold outside. My poor dogs don't want to go out. I don't blame them. I don't want to go out with them but have too. Darn cold.

Done!

[[deleted user]]

Thanks. But it takes forever to write out the list so I should get at least a B+.

What time is it there?

[[deleted user]]

I did a few hours ago and it took two hours to do it. I'm nuts I could have read but oh no!

You should try to go to bed. I'm wondering if my kitten will let me. I'm exhausted but it's only 8:18 pm here.

[Petra X]

Bugger off to bed then.

Nightie night

[[deleted user]]

Can't quite leave Kitty alone yet. Still gets into too much. While I made breakfast she started ripping down the wall paper in my bedroom. She climbed the blinds yesterday while we were at Wicked and pulled them off the window. Okay it's funny but it's not. We've only had her a week and two days so I know she is still trying to explore. My other cat sleeps part of the night but she is an angel. As a kitten she didn't get into any trouble.

Good Night Fiona.

[[deleted user]]

Petra: what genre of books do you sell the most?

[Petra X]

Don't think I could manage 8,000 characters. What would I say?

[[deleted user]]

Petra that's the fun of it. Just babble & ramble!

[[deleted user]]

Fiona: I'm reading Atonement so far I like it much better then the movie. Read Enduring Love- it was great. Didn't like First Love Last Rites. Rather disturbing. I really like the way McEwan writes. I'm glad you like Saturday. I've gotten mixed review from different GR friends. But looking forward to reading it.

[[deleted user]]

Fiona: you just can't pull yourself away tonight?

[[deleted user]]

I'm signing off for the night. Need to get the kids to bed and pick out a book to read to the littlest one.

Write with ya all tomorrow!

[Petra X]

Urban black fiction. The rude stuff. The island is rich and people are well-educated so I think they get a kind of kick with reading about ghetto girls, gangs, drugs and the like. Best selling book is anything by Zane. Christian black fiction also sells. Stuff like the pastor's been playing around and his wife is very upset so.... This happens all the time on the island so its more realistic than the other stuff.

[Jeane]

I think emilee should at least get a B+ after all the work typing the lsit, if she didn't cheat. And if she is going to start Moby Dick, that would be a well deserved B+!!!!!!!

Fiona, if you really want to get a way from where you life and won't go for isntance till London, than start with centre Portsmouth on your own. If you don't like it to live there, move on. If the big step doesn't work, try to take little steps.

[Jeane]

hehe, remember me when I have my own laptop. Fiona, look for a job away, so you have to go living somewhere else!

[Jeane]

You future plans sound nice!


yahoo, we cleaned the whole (really small) bathroom so that for the first time it is really clean compared to before. And now I am going to take a shower and not worry about the dirt that there used to be. A vacuum cleaned the stairs and they have again a different color than black1
Probably in not even two days it will be different again but I don't care. At least I know now it had a completely cleaning and every couple of days or week, we can just redo it in small.

[[deleted user]]

Jeane I am going to start Moby Dick. I am sure I'll still be reading it inot 2009 however but I am taking 1 week off work around the holiday so I'm going to bum in PJ's & read! Sounds Heavenly.

Fiona good luck on the Job Hunt & same to you Jeane. Is the economy in GB as bad as it is in the US?

Jeane: where is you 8000? I know you can do it.

Okay so my son had the flu Saturday & threw up this am. Now I have it as do both of my daughters. So I am bumming at home in my PJ's.

Petra: That is so interesting. I was so curious. At work all the "readers" usually read those crappy romance novels. There is like three of us that read literature, fiction ect.

[Petra X]

The genres I read changes over time. For the last while its been variations on psychology, neurology, animal behaviourism and history. Makes a change from my Jodi Picoult period :-)

[Petra X]

Emilee I hope you get better soon.

My teenage son has thrown a fit this morning. I don't know where he is. I hope he doesn't go to his father's but comes home.

[[deleted user]]

"List all your qualifications" is the same in the US. Like anyone can write that small?

Okay so I have to go to court today. I'm a bit nervous.

[Jeane]

I have the same thing for qualifications and education...but I am lucky I write small and can write really small if I have to. i jsut hate rethinking about all the dates every time!

Fiona, look out of Portsmouth and then move there!
I don't get some companies. They have many vacancies, you apply, they concider your application for a week adn then yu get to hear from the agency that becasue it is almost the end of the year their budget is almsot finished, so they won't hire anyone anymore this year! Does that make sense????? Then don't keep putting the vacancies!!!!!!

[Jeane]

Did anyone see what happened with the airplane in california? It crashed in a university zone as far as I read for now. It is on cnn.

[Laura]

Hi all and bye again too! I loved your loooong posts. Hope your son is better soon Emilee and that your son comes back Petra and that Emilee your cat is not evil even tho it sounds positively evil. I never had that much trouble w/a kitten, even our male cat who is into everything wasn't ripping down wallpaper and blinds. Sounds like a Damien kittie! Good luck w/it.

And Miss Fiona good luck on the jobs. You might have to relax your conditions to find something close. But for your sake I hope you don't have to.

Bye!

[[deleted user]]

Laura I hope this is just goodbye for the night.

Actually last night Kitty was very cuddly I think she sensed that now we all have this nasty flu bug and needed her to be calm. I am hoping when I get her declawed & nutured that she'll calm down. My sister has had kittens like her and she told me that they grow out of it. I went from my two year old cat who was an angel & didn't get into any trouble to my little stinker.

I really need to go to bed. I feel like total crap. I hate being sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[[deleted user]]

We can out here. I don't let my cats go outside becuae of the mean old racoons. I only do the front claws not the back. Trust me she is ripping my wall paper down and already scratched up my antique table. I have never had such a menice of a kitty. She is very sweet & cuddly. She just needs time & love.

[Jeane]

Ow, Emilee that is cruel. They do grow out of it without doing that. It is like with a dog, you have to teach them what and what not they can do. I teach my animals what they can do and what not and they grow up fine. But couldn't even think about doing that to them. It wasn't their choice to became a home kitten.

[Ann from S.C.]

Its 4:57am and I am awake with a sick 9 year old!

[[deleted user]]

Ann Hope your little one doesn't have what we have here!

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

I know this isn't the random thought thread of Jamie..but I have some exciting news and I'm dying to share it because I'm all alone at my house right now!! :)

As of right now...i just handed in my last assignment of my college career! I am DONE!!!!! It feels sooo good! Graduation is this coming Saturday..and from now until then...i have NO responsibilities..just all the time in the world to READ!

[Angela]

Congratulations Jamie!!! I know the feeling. I just finished in November :) Freedom is a wonderful thing.

[Ann from S.C.]

Good for you Jamie and Angela!!!
I have never finished college. I hope to be one of those 60 year old grandmothers, sitting there in a class of 18-20 year olds, getting a degree. In what I don't know...lol

Congratulations, Jamie! That is the best feeling.

I think this thread should be renamed to the TNBBC Chatroom. Cause that's what it really is. People come here to see who else is here to chat w/.

[Jackie]

Congratulations Jamie! I'm hoping to graduate with my Masters in May. Can't wait to get my freedom back. =)
