Hey all! Just wanted to stop by and say "hi" and that I have neither forgotten this site nor everyone on it. I miss everyone! My life kindda took a 180 turn in March, so I moved back home to the US and I'm trying to go back to college and get a job and all that stuff. I really miss how I used to be on this site like 18 hours a day while I sat home. I just got internet in our new place, so I hope to be on more often. I hope everyone is well. How's Granny Penny? Shinny? I kindda keep up with Barb and Tina on Myspace.  I know that I probably missed some really awesome games/quizzes by RSP. Lol! I hope everyone is well (even those I forgot to mention)!

Thanks, you guys! I've missed everyone and being on here soo much! I am so backed up on shows. I've never been behind on Supernatural and now I have to try and catch up before the new season starts. So, what is the best new show??

nye87

Lol! Thanks! I've actually caught a few episodes of Flashpoint and it did seem really good. I'm kind of a Sci-fi fan but I also like drama. Wow Bala, I would have thought that True Blood would have been on your list. My brother watches it, but I have been skeptical about watching it due to the mature content. I am a newly converted Twilight fan, but I guess I'll have to see. Thanks for the feedback.

Oh, ok. Thank you, Tina! I can't believe your almost halfway through your pregnancy already! How are you feeling??

Yeah, I'm the same way; so I know what you mean.

Granny Penny! Its so nice to hear from you as well! I'm just trying to get a job and go back to school. How have you been?

You are most welcome and I'm glad to hear that.

Hey, Meg! There really is no place like home. I'm loving being back and the fact that everyone speaks English. lol! I'm glad that at least one other person feels my pain when it comes to wanting to watch shows with mature content. How have you been?

nye87

Oh, I LOVE Private Practice!!! I have to catch up, though. I've only seen about 5 episodes of Season 2.

nye87

Yeah, when my mom was pregnant with her first child, she had a dream that her baby was born with a horse head and another time she dreamt that the baby was born with a tail.

I'm on Facebook and Myspace and would love to add everyone. On Myspace, you can find me in Tina's or Barb's friend list but I don't have anyone on Facebook.

Thanks, Meg! I can't wait! I actually have a job interview tomorrow, so I'll try to start as soon as I can (depending on how things turnout -lol).

Happy 1 Year Anniversary, Serena75!!! How has this site changed your life in the past year?? Hopefully, for the better! Ever since I've been on this site, my life has changed in a negative way...since I want to be on here 24/7 and I was never able to get anything done. lol! I'm slowly trying to learn a balance. No but seriously, I LOVE this site!!!

Reply  3120#3120 gabsimom's post:
Congratulations!!! I was also secretly hoping that you would have a girl so Adam could have a little sister. Like Barb said, maybe next time. ^_~ Either way, I'm really happy for you!

nye87

I know what you mean, I actually prefer subtitles. lol! I guess I picked the habit up from living overseas so long and (like you) from watching many foreign films. I didn't realize that English wasn't your native language (sorry, I've been away from this site far too long; so I guess I missed that); but I know how it feels to not understand certain phrases because I had the same problem with learning french. And yes, it feels amazing to finally know what the saying, phrase, etc. means.

Thank you, Serena. I'm so glad that I've only had to experience bad subtitles about 3 times and it IS so annoying.

Playing good music makes cleaning way more fun to do. I especially love listening to oldies (stuff from the 70s and 80s - My mom's music) that make you want to dance while cleaning. Good luck with painting!!! We have to paint, too, but we're putting it off for now. DIY projects can be such a headache.

That was soo nice of your husband! I'm glad that you got to relax a little. 22 weeks?!!! WOW, the baby is going to be here before we know it!

nye87

Sorry to hear that, Barb. But I do know how you feel. I have been away for so long because Ramadan can get exhausting. My bedtime has now become between 2am and 4 am; I always wake up around 8 am or 9 am and I often find myself dozing off. As much as I love the month, I am glad that it is over because the whole rushing to get dinner finished by sunset and the extra worship at night has really worn me out. That, in turn, leaves the chores to be done after 10pm. I really wish that I could help you some way (because we just moved not too long ago and I know how frustrating a disorganized living space can be). Try not to worry too much and I hope your headaches stop. Hope it gets better.

nye87

P.S. I am totally for natural birth. My mom actually had my sister outside of the US and her OBGYN gave her a shot to stop her contractions so that she'd had to perform a C-Section and get paid double (the medical rule over there). It was terrible because my mom couldn't speak the language. Also, my grandmother was a victim of the "Hysterectomy Movement"and she has told as many women as possible to never ever allow anyone to do that to them.

nye87

I hope that you get better, Barb. Do you have any Ginger or Ginger Tea? It always helps my headaches, so maybe it could help your migraine. I'm so glad that you have such a nice friend to help you out! Please feel better soon.

nye87

Glad you're feeling better...or at least you were. Now sounds like a good time to make a cup of ginger tea to help that queasiness.  ^_~

Sorry to hear that...I have been exhausted for the longest. I keep telling myself that I'm going to get a nap in somewhere, but I never have time to. lol! I'm glad the Ginger is helping some.

I think that people like that are in so much denial about the talented person's talent that they need to vocally degrade that person in order to convince themselves. Its ok, though, because in the end; the talented person will shine and they will a.ways have a gift no matter how much envy or hatred the other person feels towards them.

For some reason, whenever the weather changes (from warmer to cooler) I am always stuff with the "cuts in the throat", sore, scratching feeling in my throat. It like never becomes an actual sore throat, I just have to deal with this annoying feeling for days. It takes like 50 cough drops to heal. But I just stick with lemon and honey and endless cups of tea. I hate it so much cause then I have to pee like every 20 minutes (lol!), so I know how you feel being in that "transition" mode. Hope you feel better, Barb!

Free Halls?! That sounds AWESOME. I wonder why they never do stuff like that near my house. lol! You made a beanie...cool! Did you knit or crochet it?? I'm trying to take up either or both but I have to buy the supplies and wait until my mom has enough time to teach me. I'm also curious about the pumpkin beer...is it alcohol or like Root Beer??

Reply  3189#3189 waterlilybarb's post:
Yikes! When it gets cold, I sleep with a skully on every night and sometimes a scarf (depending on how cold it is) to prevent head colds. They're so annoying because they make you so miserable.

Happy belated 2 year anniversary, Shinny!!! I'm also a "2 year-er"; welcome to the club! I joined in May of 2007 but I found the site in March or April of that year.

Tea! Its my favorite companion during this time of year until it gets warm again. I though of you all when I made Braided Sweet Bread yesterday. The smell was divine and I was wishing that I could share it with you all. I'll post a pic.

nye87

It was soo good. Its actually a Moroccan tea time pastry bread.I'm sending you all some through my pics. ^_~

nye87

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear about everyone's sicknesses. Barb, I think that the sick bug loves you so much because you're such a sweet person. ^_~ Thats what my grandmother and mother would always whenever I got a mosquito bite (which is often in the Summer - they literally follow me).   U2 and the BEPs?? How lucky are you, Meg? Glad you had a good time. Please feel better, Shinny! I think that stomach illnesses are the worse! Aww, your daughter sounds so cute, studiojek. Sleeping through the night is definitely an accomplishment. Dehydration is very scary, cshapiro. Your story reminded of one my mom told me about when I was around 6 months. My grandparents kept nagging my mom to take me to emergency (because they felt something was wrong) and that was the only reason she did. I was so dehydrated that when the doctor pushed my skin down on my hand, it stayed. They said that I would have died had she not brought me in when she did. I'm glad you're better.

I can't  believe that its been a month since I've been on here. The day after Halloween, a bunch of my friends and I went to the haunted penitentiary in Philadelphia. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! Its called Eastern State Penitentiary where Al Capone was once held. After we went, my grandfather told me that his nephew died there...CREEPY. Nice talking to everyone. Stay well!

Those fumes are dangerous. Darn those migraines.   I know what you mean about living out of boxes; I've been living out of suitcases for almost 3 years now. Its SO annoying. lol!
