I'm lonely. Talk to me.

[Ellen Forradalom]

It's late and mighty quiet around here.

[spooked]

1. smile baby smile

it's good to be alive this glorious fall, and Kerry is going to win!

[Ellen Forradalom]

2. Fall is pretty to be sure

although it wreaks havoc on my bipolar disorder.

And I'm not going to breathe a word until the results are in, except to say: from your mouth to God's ear. Let it be so.

[spooked]

8. tell me what is

your bipolar disorder making you feel right now, and why is it different in the fall?

Did you know some people believe Princess Diana had bipolar disorder?

[Ellen Forradalom]

13. I wouldn't be surprised

eating disorders can often occur along mood disorders, and she was a sensitive soul, too.

[Rick Myers]

3. It's a cold and rainy night in NE Ohio

:hi:

[Ellen Forradalom]

15. I detect a theme emerging here

"It was a dark and stormy night...."

[Mikimouse]

30. You know what is sad? I actually understood all of that...

:evilgrin: Looks a lot like many of the letters I wrote back in my drinking days.

[Mizmoon]

37. I give up. What language is it really?

I have no idea.

[Ellen Forradalom]

41. Hungarian

And we're using our secret decoder rings from the cereal boxes to write it.

[Ellen Forradalom]

31. A jo kurva anyadat, hulye gyerek!

[Mikimouse]

52. Gyonoru!

[Ellen Forradalom]

63. Ah most jut eszembe

A horvat nyelven (amit nem beszelek) ez 'pica', es zavarba jottem.

[Mikimouse]

66. Bocsanatot kerek, nem akartalak zavarni vele...

mint egy jo kiss Gorgey fiu, azokat a fajta szavakat hasznalni szigoruan tilos volt, de az edesapam alandoan hasznalta csak azert mert tudta hogy nagyon bantota az edesanyamat.

[Ellen Forradalom]

29. Nagyon koszonom a szives valaszadat

Igen, jobb vagy az elet nalam. Tudod, bajam van a depresszioval.

Mit tantargyat tanitsz? Es mit lesz a disszertáció temat?

[Mikimouse]

49. Tanitom a szosziologiat...

ebe a szemeszterbe tanitok ket criminal justice curzust, es egy kezdo szosziologiat. a disszertacio temam megvizgalni hogy miljen fajta munkat fogadnak ferfi volunteerek(bocsanat, nem ismerem a magyar szot) egy dizaszter kurolmenybe. Azt gondolom hogy it Amerikaban nem fogyak el fogadni azt a fajta munkat aminek noi behatasa van (mint fozni, takaritani, telfonalni...). Jol nez ki, mert mar adtak nekem penzet segiteni nemek a kutatasal.

[Ellen Forradalom]

55. Nagyon erdekes

Volunteer: önként jelentkez?; azok a ferfiak, akik önként jelentkeznek segiteni katastrofakor? Nagyon jo magyar-angol szotar talalhato a http://dict.sztaki.hu -hoz.

Erdekes tema. Gondolsz, hogy az amerikai ferfiak utasitnak el a noi munkat tobb mint masutt?

[Mikimouse]

60. Koszonom szepen a szotart...elvan hanyagolva a nyelv...

csak az apamal tudok beszelni, es o nincs it, de Texaszban. Hogy az amerikai ferfiak utasitnak el a noi numkat tobet mint masut?, azt nem tudom, de udylatzik hogy masut nem egy anyira fontos tema mint it. Masut vanak problemak, mint Ausztraliaban, es Japan orszagban, de it ugylatzik hogy ezek a onkentesek nem maradnak a tarsasagal ha 'noi' munkat kel csinalni. Edig talaltam egy jo nehany iratot ami nem pontosan ezt mondja, de kozel hoza. Az enyem lesz az elso igazi kutatmany ami pontosan ezt fogya meg vizsgalni.

[Ellen Forradalom]

[Mikimouse]

67. Hahahahahahaha! de milyen jol ertem!

Isten veled!

[dorktv]

5. *sings off key the Kim Jong IL song from Team America*

See that is why I want to get married...no more loney.

[Rick Myers]

6. You can be lonely in a crowd!!!

Trust me...

It's been a very tough year.

[Ellen Forradalom]

18. Every year seems to be a tough year

but in a different way.

[dorktv]

20. I suppose but at least I could get sex regularly!

[Mikimouse]

27. Dream on...

I'm looking forward to this thing being final and then...look out!
I may be older, but I am not dead yet!

[dorktv]

35. You are right...most men stop being interested in sex after

a period of time.

[Ellen Forradalom]

38. What might that interval be?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[dorktv]

43. About four months in my experience but then that is

because I have not been married and just in relationships.

[Ellen Forradalom]

48. If it's someone you truly love

the interest won't evaporate like that, but that doesn't make you immune to bed death, it's true.

[Mikimouse]

54. I am a man...in middle age (chronologically, that is)...

and I have not interest in it at all. There's just this funny thing about still being on the books as married that somehow puts a damper on my activities, even though Mrs. Mikimouse left a long time ago. So, call me retentive.

[Ellen Forradalom]

34. All you singles think that

Your naivete touches me.

[MrSandman]

70. They'll find out...nt

[Ellen Forradalom]

Sings the You Forgot Poland song from the debates

I'm married and I still keep 'em at arm's length :-)

[Ellen Forradalom]

12. I have a dog

A Bourbonnais pointer named Corbu. He's an absolute godsend. My best friend.

[Mizmoon]

17. Yes, the pets are good

Did you see this Onion article? This is why the pets make us happy.

Dog Experiences Best Day of His Life for 400th Consecutive Day

SANTEE, CA—Family dog Loki experienced the best day of his life for the 400th straight day Monday, the black Labrador retriever reported. "I got to go outside! I got to sniff the bush!" Loki said, wagging excitedly. "I saw a squirrel and I barked at it and it ran up the tree! Then I came back inside, and the smoky-smelling tall man let me have a little piece of bacon and then I drank from the toilet!" Loki will experience the best day of his life once again tomorrow, when he digs a hole, chews on a slipper, and almost catches his tail.

[Ellen Forradalom]

39. Sounds like my dog's life. Except

when he gets in trouble for peeing on my husband's leg, or something like that. Bratty little beast.

[SarahB]

26. Me too.

[Ellen Forradalom]

32. Lot of it going around.

How are ya, Sarah girl? I always like your posts.

[SarahB]

46. Not good.

Never good really in my current situational limbo known as my life. I just do well at hiding it most of the time. Distracting myself anyway.

I hope you feel better tonight anyway. :)

[Ellen Forradalom]

50. I've posted in Hungarian.

Always a sure-fire cure for the blues.

I know where you're at girl. Or I think I do, based on your posts, anyway. This too shall pass.

[flamingyouth]

33. Hi there, I'm having a boring night too

I just found pics of myself from high school graduation day. I looked so blase, it's hilarious!

[Ellen Forradalom]

36. I was spared that

but was persuaded to attend my college graduation

[flamingyouth]

40. Behold the face of teen angst, circa 1986

[Mizmoon]

42. You look contemplative to me n/t

[Ellen Forradalom]

44. You don't like you were into it at all...

"Get me out of this dumbass cap and gown" seems to be what you are thinking.

[flamingyouth]

47. Yeah, I believe that is exactly what I was thinking

Just give me the freaking diploma and get me out of this hellhole once and for all! :D

[Rick Myers]

51. You're very brave, I'd NEVER post my graduation pic

from 1975... YIKES!!! Oh, the horror...

[flamingyouth]

53. LOL - I have some pics from 1975 myself

At least in this particular photo, the only polyester I'm wearing is in the graduation gown! Back in '75, it was polyester city! :D

[Rick Myers]

56. Exactly...

I was a 2 alarm fire waiting to happen!!! But... Four years later I was on the road with the Dead Boys, Ramones and Blondie...

So, I figgered it out!!!

Hope all is well with you!!!

[flamingyouth]

57. Wow - you've got to have some great stories from that time!

I used to be in touch with Jimmy Zero - nice guy.

All is very well with me, and I hope things have settled down for you somewhat as well. Thanks for asking! :hi:

[Ellen Forradalom]

59. Yes, do tell!

I'm all ears.

[spooked]

45. hey that's kinda Clintonesque

[Kenneth ken]

62. pick a topic

We could talk about Martha
We could talk about landscapes
I'm not above gossip
But I'll sit on a secret where honor is at stake!
Or we could talk about power
About Jesus and Hitler and Howard Hughes
Or Charlie Chaplin's movies
Or Bergman's nordic blues
Please just talk to me
Any old theme you choose



:hi:

I'm always up for a Joni Mitchell reference. :D

[Ellen Forradalom]

68. Martha or Mary

Or Georgie or Kerry
or Mrs. Lynne Cheney
whose antics are zany

Or Jenna and Barb
Or some new low-carb
Diet. or maybe
a celebrity baby

Or absentee ballots
or onions and shallots
or a new pair of shoes
I don't care--you choose!

[Kenneth ken]

73. did you write that?

very clever.
I like verse that doesn't use lots of symbolism that I can't interpret.

I don't know of any celebrity babies, so that's off the list.

I only own three pair of shoes, none of them particularly new, though the most-recent was a pair of dress shoes that were long overdue for purchasing. Fortunately for me, I don't often have to wear them. Apart from that I have the requisite "athletic" shoes for wearing when there is snow on the ground, or it's otherwise to cold (almost impossible) for the preferred flip-flops (or slaps as I like to call them, 'cause they make a slapping sound at each step.)

I don't follow any low-carb diets, so that's off the list. I am taking up fasting one day per week. I think from noon Monday till 18:00 Tuesday will be the one (30 hour) day. I did this week, except it was from about 3:00 AM Monday till noonish on Tuesday. Maybe being hungry for a short period of time will help focus my empathy for others who are hungry both more frequently and for longer periods of time.

I thought of voting absentee this year, but have decided to vote early at the local election office (begins Monday in my state.) I don't worry that Mr Kerry will lose a fair elecetion, but I do worry about rampant election fraud. I haven't decided what I will do in that case. I have two kitties who can't fend for themselves, so taking to the streets in armed or unarmed insurrection seems a dubious option.
Or is that just a cop-out on my part? Sometimes I do try to find self-justifications for taking the easy way out of a difficult situation.

I like cooking with onions moreso than shallots. :D

your turn.

:hi:

[Skittles]

65. I have to stay up until 08:00

to get back on my night schedule; need to study some mainframe IPL procedures. :o

[Ellen Forradalom]

69. Sounds riveting

I thought you were on the night ass-kicking shift.

[Skittles]

74. I work 12 hour night shifts

four days one week, three days the next

[2Design]

71. sounds like a sleeper to me

[2Design]

72. Just got in and signed on DU

been out doing massages at a college special event - 5 minutes on table each student -
I started at 9 pm and finished at 11:30 pm worked straight for about 2 hours of it - and I was paid for it by Special Events company that was hired to do this

then broke down the table and put it in the car

came back and

had ice cream too
and they had a tarot card reader so I went and did that
and they had a place to decorate hats - plastic ones with some mardi gras type masks and beads - I was surprized how many were doing it - so I did that too

My big Friday night - it was fun
