Thank you, thank you. Y'all are fabulous

Oh, damn! now why is RonR inactive!?

ugh...whyyyyyyyyyyy!?

[sixthson]

I don't know if it's related to me having been quite sick recently, but I'm really struggling with one of my classes at the moment, and it's incredibly frustrating. I'm certainly not the most intelligent person out there, but I've never really had that much difficulty retaining information when a subject interests me. I just can't seem to concentrate at the moment though, and going over the subject matter repeatedly just leaves me feeling discouraged and exhausted. I need a break.

You can lay your head on my shoulder, if you want.

[RazorzEdge88]

Poor Anders. :c(

I disagree with him, though. He's wicked smart.

[Huntneo(PT)]

Just a note to justanothershyguy, Bender, and Cupid...

I don't venture into the fun and games section of JUB...so if you guys want to talk shit about me, find your way to the forums I frequent. Okay?
Or PM me.

Thanks so much.

*bows*

Thank you, thank you. Y'all are fabulous

btw...Shyguy...what am I jealous of?

Boy, please.


Oh...and I'm Here, Bender.

If you have something to say...say it.

[BENDERBOY]

Cheers Hunty, we're fine as we are.

Cheers Hunty, we're fine as we are.

are you sure? because your posts over in F&G are kinda saying different.
If not, you need to get your little fan club checked right quick.

I'm just making sure we don't have anything twisted.

[justanothershyguy]

Don't forget this one too, since you're digging.

[frankfrank]

No one moves into a house, or even an apartment building, thinking of it as a "temporary edifice". It's a BUILDING. It's DONE. You picture it being there always and always.

So, why don't they call it a BUILT????????

We do have Powell's Book store in Portland, about 50 miles from me.


It's definitely a day trip when I go there. A couple hours just doesn't cut it.

A **DAY** doesn't cut it.

I thought it was closing down? I went there on my PNW trip a while back and loved it.

Yes I think you're right, I'm almost sure it was in here maybe 10-12 months ago that I saw somebody talking about that. I suppose that a Forum search for Powell wouldn't bring up all THAT many threads - maybe even limiting enough to search POSTS instead.

What were your thoughts about the NW, RE? I love it out there.

The bookstore Borg speaks of might have a lot more of those old books, because they sell both new & used books. I sure hope it doesn't go out of business.

Ann Arbor, Michigan has a rather astonishing plethora of cool used book shops.

[Huntneo(PT)]

It was so basic, I left it out. Sorta like you.

besides, I wasn't "digging", baby. Someone alerted me.

Like I said...you guys knew where to find me. Don't run into the back alley like little bitches.

[BENDERBOY]

Digging and desperate.

Not even a blip on my radar.

[justanothershyguy]

Like I said, it's cute! It's almost the same thing you do in these forums! We're so, like, made for each other

You guys gonna fight or fuck? I'm not sure which I'd pay more to see.

I know you're trying to take up for Bender and all, but you're doing a shitty job, hun. He should fire you from his fan club.

Have several seats.

Oh, I LOVE that region, Frank. I wish I had been able to see more of it, but I was so taken with what I did see.

I think I've posted about how Portland and Seattle are high on my list of possible future destinations.

You admitted yourself, you're just trying to start shit. So, I'm helping. We should be friends or fuck buddies or something

Shut up, peons. I'm talking about Seattle with Frank.

[dereperez]

On an unrelated note, something interesting happened to me yesterday.

Have you ever seen any of those movies where a man from a past era, accidentally enters a time warp, and ends up in the future? He, not accustomed to the new ways, gets bewildered.

That happened to me.

At UNR (our state university),the old library had outgrown itself, so they moved to a much larger monstrosity of a building called The Knowledge Center. I went in yesterday to do some research, and got utterly bewildered by the new technology.

Nowadays, for many books, you have to ask a counterperson for the book. He enters a code, and a machine goes to the stacks (which stand 20 or 30 stories high), retrieves the book for the counterperson, who gives this book to you.

They completely removed the card catalog. (The old library had the card catalog for pre-1976 tomes). Nowadays, you have to log into a computer to search for any book, which requires a username and password.

It all seemed so Robocop-ish, so Terminator-ish, that I felt a sense of awe.

Speaking truthfully, though, I can't say I like the new system, because the casual reader cannot browse the shelves. I always thought browsing the shelves fun, because often, one accidentally runs into a book that catches his interest.

^ I wanted a recipe that I'd found in a Better Homes & Garden in the early 1940s. Or perhaps it came in a Life magazine from the era.

I looked online for it, Borg. Surprisingly, I found very few recipes for it all over the Internet, and the ones I did find didn't resemble it very much.

@ALL:

Have you ever heard of the automated system? Does your local library use it? I found a link:

http://knowledgecenter.unr.edu/libra...bout/mars.aspx

There's just something so enriching and exciting to browse through books with your own fingers than having to go through that "system". While I only vaguely remember the card catalog days, at the very least we can go find and handle the books ourselves after using the computer to do the original search. The MARS system does seem to take the fun out of it. Never seen or heard of it until now.

When will they ever learn not to come for you.

Quite right, musical interlude.

[G-Lexington]

I believe the term is "MEH".

And don't your cities have used book stores? We have a bunch here. Not all huge ones, mind you, but it's fun to walk in and walk out with $25 worth of "never expected to find this".

The MARS system flat out sucks.

I went there again today.

It took the robot 10 or 15 minutes to fetch four volumes for me. At Getchell, I could have gotten it myself in one minute flat.

[JohannBessler]

@Neo:

I understand now. I wondered why you were so angry at me.

I can identify about 12 JUBbers I never want to offend, under any circumstances. I count you among that 12, Neo.

Good thing it should be a very long while (if ever) before the library will become obsolete. The internet is convenient, but still limited.

It really sucks when you have to stay up for over 24 hours to try and regulate your sleeping schedule. I will be so damn tired and have so much housework to do.

[Sparky-Sparky-Boom-Boom]

Oh snaps.

I sat here and ate like hell over the holidays, and now the scale is punishing me for it.
Not only did eat like a madman...but I slacked off on exercising.



My "diet" starts today. And I've been craving peanut butter cookies!!!

[thatgirl]

God, i so miss Merlin.

This feeling. I has it.

The series finale was like...pretty much a Merlin & Arthur love story. And everyone else got pushed to the side so it was pretty unsatisfying in some ways. Sort of annoying.

I miss it, too, though. Sadtimes.

No more new episodes. Ever again.

Oh snaps.

Huntneo, stahp. If you tell yourself you'll cut out certain types of food for a while, you'll just crave them more.

Just do the whole portioning thing. You still get to satisfy your cravings but you just eat less of everything. Eventually, you will work your way down to your regular weight. There's also no need to rush, we are only a few weeks in to the new year, it's healthier to lose weight gradually and it involves less pressure.

p.s. I am going to go eat a donut, now. This comment has me craving for sweets.

Apropos dieting:

If you want to lose weight, and keep it off, and eat like a hog sometimes, you might want to look into alternate-day fasting.

I've done it for three months now. All my health indices have improved, and every other day, I can splurge.

The diet works so well that sometimes, I have a hard time keeping my weight UP.

[Huntneo(PT)]

I see that I've directed some traffic over to Fun and Games.

You're welcome, guys.

Wish it didn't have to resort to drama to keep these boards moving.

[refujiunderground]

man, i was thinking about the catholic school (obviously it was private) that i spent from 1st grade to 8th grade years in and i don't even think the public schools in my town were as poor as my school was. that makes no sense. it still mindfucks me how my teachers would put down grove street school, berekley terrance, chancellor ave. myrtle ave, and all the public schools around the way for not being able to teach the students shit BUT yet our school didn't have SHIT. the books were old. we didn't have the proper tools for learning. no after school programs, no basketball team, no sport teams, no art programs, no NOTHING. they only had girl scouts for the girls BUT other than that, we got robbed of an education. they thought that teaching us religion and brainwashing us to be jesus fanatics was giving us an education. i will NEVER forget when i started high school and how lost i was. as much as the other students put down the school system over here at the time, they were educated pretty damn good compared to me. i felt like an idiot.

another thing that irks me too. they should have SKIPPED me a grade. i should have been in my brother's grade. i was doing REALLY well in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades BUT i guess they didn't think that i was bright enough. i know i did REALLY well on the standardize testing in the 1st grade where it was like 90 or 80 percent. the evaluation said that i was REALLY bright BUT somehow they didn't fucking skip me a grade. DAMNIT, i was robbed. i should have been in the same grade as my brother but i guess they didn't want me to embarrass my brother since he wasn't doing too good as a student.

[xbuzzerx]

I hear you Refuji. It's pretty bad when you need to get special permission to drop religion class because otherwise you won't be able to fit in all the things you need for the school you're applying for. Religion classes were always such a joke anyway. I seriously question if anyone ever got lower than a B in one.

[borg69unimatrix]

Catholic School ?!?!?! You never said you went to Catholic School before!!!! THAT explains a LOT !!!

No wonder you're screwed up !!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you tell your counselor you went to Catholic School ??? You'd save her hours and hours of therapy.

they didn't do that. it wasn't a choice. it was either you do the religion class, go to mass, and do as we tell you what we want you to do or we'll kick you out and you can go to one of irvington's many public schools where you'll be miseducated or worse. they were basically manipulating the kids and the parents at the same time. they would basically steal the money from the parents, brainwash the kids into jesus or whatever then give them whatever education that they wanted. it was really about the money.

i didn't mention it to her during the intake session. if they hook me up with individual therapy, that will most definitely be discussed. it's crazy seeing how money drives an institution. they really fucked us over. i remember when my father didn't pay up the tuition and they refused to give me my report card. it was embarrassing. everybody knew it too because the teacher would call the students to give them their report cards and obviously, if you didn't get yours, your parents didn't pay up. like why should i be penalized for what my father failed to do? my father was NEVER a responsible figure anyway and even to this day, he pushes his responsibilities onto other people where my mom has to pay money for his medication and i have to pick it up. don't know how my mom has been able to stay with him for so long. i would have left his ass years ago if i was her even if i had to move to the projects.

they REALLY do a whole lot of damage. if i ever have children, i will NEVER subject them to any religious or private school for that matter.
