Being the only member on-line. It feels elusive and cold.
I used to figure there was always some member awake, on the other side of the world or just across the pond. Guess not.

I'm still up, but not by choice. Damned insomnia kicked back in the other night for the first time since like August. It's making me utterly miserable.
Aw, well I sympathize. I've been battling insomnia for years now, off and on. It's a lonely cold feeling, innit?Originally Posted by Echovirus
It is, but that's the joy of having friends on the opposite coast or other side of the planet. I almost always have someone to talk to unless I simply choose to not load up my games.
Then why isn't this forum as accommodating?
edit: when I can't sleep, playing games doesn't help me. Not really. I'd rather discuss things.
But if you read my thread about Segregation, none of the CNN poster comments are intriguing, they're mostly bullshit. If you go to the local links for WGAL, they aren't much better, and those would be my regional peers. Guess it's the same reason I don't Twitter or Facebook. Too much noise.

So yesterday we went walking around the mall to get some exercise. (It's still freaking cold outside) K was in her stroller, facing forward. These two little girls come walking our way and point at the baby. I smiled at them and I guess they took it as their cue to come over. The older little girl, probably 5 or 6, jumped in front of the stroller so we had to stop. She then petted K on the head and kissed her on the face!
Their mom was of course on her cell phone, finally waddled over (she was like 8 months pregnant) and grabbed her kids.
It's one thing if I know someone's kid, I don't mind them kissing and hugging on my baby. But complete strangers, hell no! I was too stunned to say anything. I'm pretty much a chicken overall anyway. Guess I will have to be more aggressive in the future.
(Also, I'm sick of strangers at the grocery store clamoring to touch her. Yes, she's cute. Don't touch! I don't know what kind of nasty disease you idiots have. Old people are just as sickly as little kids.)
Poor Kittycat. People are crazy like that, though.
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
My boy just vomited in the dining room floor (also the kitchen floor, and on a pair of my shoes I really like that I shouldn't have left in the kitchen floor, anyway).
Blech.

That's a pretty impressive feat. How did he managed to hit so many targets at once?
Hope is the denial of reality
Well, he was sitting at the dining room table telling me that he couldn't eat his dinner because he was going to be sick, and then said excuse me and jumped up to run to the down stairs toilet. He began vomiting immediately after, and rather than stand in one place he kept moving. Through the dining room to the kitchen and onto my shoes, and then I suggested he stop at the trash can where he finished.
He took a shower to get the puke out of his hair and off his face, and then decided he really didn't want to stay home and he'd come with me to the grocery store to buy apple juice, chicken broth, and ginger ale.
He has now also vomited in the soda aisle of the grocery store, and on another pair of my shoes.
And, of course, we have to assume that the rest of us will be joining him for this misery soon enough.

He even managed to puke on his own hair? That must take some serious practice. Hope he gets better soon, so you only have to clean up after the cats.

Finished "Lost".
It's fucking freezing and some asshole stole my coat. And I am getting sick in the bus!
Remember those wild chickens I was WTFing about earlier?
Turns out only 1 is a hen, the others are all roosters, and they like to scream.
AT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT.
but wait, thats not all!
The county has no department, no agency, nobody, that will deal with wild chickens in the city limits.
? Finished Lost ? God, you really must have little time to watch TVFinished "Lost".
Congratulations America
He only began it last week (or maybe the week before), though.? Finished Lost ? God, you really must have little time to watch TV

I watch at work, so I get roughly 10-14 hours of TV in a day.
I am back on Dexter now.
Will maybe try Heroes after that. Then see what all the fuss was about with the stargate garbage.
Weeds was absolutley fucking awesome.
I fear I will run out of good Movies and TV series within the next two months.
You will not call Stargate garbage.

Everyone ready for the big storm? Estimated to hit 1,200 miles over 30 states, affecting 100,000,000 people.
We'll see.
I couldn't get into Firefly
Does this mean I'll get more time to catch up with my work?Everyone ready for the big storm? Estimated to hit 1,200 miles over 30 states, affecting 100,000,000 people.
Should have started with Serenity, maybe?
Depends if your electricity holds out. Do you have a generator? They're warning for ice bringing down trees, electric lines, massive power outages.Does this mean I'll get more time to catch up with my work?
Our township sirens started blaring a little while ago. Kind of ominous since we haven't heard those in ages. There's just a dusting of snow but it's starting to spit ICE.
Power outages? Sweet!!!
It's coming down here pretty good. No ice yet. They are predicting half inch glazing tomorrow night.
I <3 SNOW!
Oh, I love snow.And really cold temps. I've got the house thermostat set at 64 degrees, and I'm wearing a t-shirt and boxers.
But freezing rain and ice that topples power lines....not so much.
We have nowhere to put it that is safe and would not involve removal via heavy equipment like dump trucks, loaders, and bulldozers.Everyone ready for the big storm? Estimated to hit 1,200 miles over 30 states, affecting 100,000,000 people.

Long Island, huh. Prepare to kiss your snow budget good bye?
We usually pile the stuff in mall parking lots, using front loaders and dump trucks. It doesn't melt until Spring.
In some places the snow is packed high enough to keep it off the sidewalks and street that it obstructs any vision to the left and right of an intersection so much so that you can't see oncoming traffic until it is physically partway in the intersection.
. . .
Can't they cart the snow to the beach and park it there?
Within 2 hours my footprints in the dusting of driveway snow has turned to crunchy ice. I could skate to my mailbox, in slippers! Looks like black ice on the road. No trucks coming 'round to salt.
I hope we don't have another day of the superintendent saying it's a two hour delay, followed later by a cancellation.
Yay, they made an early decision. School cancelled. Thousands of children are snuggly warm in their beds and can stay that way!

Holy cow, there's half an inch of ice on everything already. I hope none of you guys had flights out of town today.....
What will this do to Super Bowl interstate travel?
Baby fell off the couch onto the floor. Luckily missed the coffee table. Fell right on her head, I turned around in time to see it happen.
I'm the worst fucking mother. She stopped crying after a minute and is playing on the floor, but still. Damn.
