I See You

why hello there

A picture of me. Back when I was cute.

Cute

E-I-E-I-O is actually a gross misspelling of the word farm. - George Carlin


When Christopher was little he used to want to go to McEIEIO's for dinner.

He meant McDonald's, but couldn't quite say it.

It took us forever to figure that out.

Cavity

So I have another cavity. My mother's response to this was that getting it filled would be my Christmas present [no insurance]. She also said I was too old to be getting cavities.

I wasn't aware cavities had an age limit.

Also, if it is a choice between cavities or root canals and bridgework, I'll take the cavities thank-you-very-much.

Mom

Mom: Lissa, there is a house I want you to buy me [in Cape Cod]. It costs about 2 million dollars.
Me: Okay, Mom. I'll start saving.

Mom's having a good time. Was going to P-town today. That should be interesting.

Hehehehehe

This will give you nightmares. No matter which party you belong to.

Happy Birthday

to Shary

who also shares her birthday with Mickey Mantle


*grins*

I'm going to pay for that, I'm sure

Cape Cod

My mom is taking a trip this weekend with a friend to Cape Cod. My mom and dad went there for their honeymoon some 29 years ago. Just before going, or maybe at the very beginning of the trip, they saw the movie 'Jaws.' Ever since then, my father will only go in the ocean up to his ankles.

On a related note, they are showing 'Jaws' at the Bardavon on Friday for $5. Mom would love to go. Dad was less than enthused.

Megan is also scared of sharks. When we saw 'Finding Nemo' the first time, she nearly jumped out of her skin when they panned out to reveal Bruce [funny, cause he named after the mechanical shark they used in 'Jaws']

hehe
o/` It's a small world after all... o/`

Billboards

The following umpteen billion pictures are of billboards we all wish we could see.

I thought they were amusing.

No, no...it's 'expensive friggin' water.' 

Let's all go shopping 

And to think, Megan wants an SUV... 

mmmmm....intestinal worms... 

Amen 

...and a good nail? How about a good re-piping while we are at it? 

You would be the first 

o/` Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me... o/` 

'Handle With Care' 

You wouldn't be the first 

Again, no comment 

So very true 

Don't forget 'No Necks.' either 

No comment 

AHhahahahahahahaha 

Blame Canada 

My eyes! My eyes! 

What an excellent point. 

This applies to so many people I know. 

Zirconia is Forever.

Doctors

Lord, how I loathe going to them.

The last time I went to a doctor, that wasn't some sort of specialist [although, I guess they all are in a way] was...wow, I can't even really recall. Thought it seems to me it was probably a pediatrician.

*sigh*

Hate

is such a strong word
but I feel it is appropriate

I hate my job
I hate my supervisor

both can rot in the fiery depths of hell for all I care

I know there is another circle reserved especially for them
Dante just left it out of his book

Promise

Shawn gave Louis a promise ring over the weekend.

Not sure of my thoughts on that, really.


Members of his family weren't too impressed though.

Quotes

My quote collection is up to 2657. I haven't added to it in forever though. I must be slipping.

This Makes Me Laugh

every time I read it. And since we are getting screwed...I mean...having an election in less than a month, it seems appropriate.

High Thievery

This is a screen capture from the vampire game I play. It shows the most coins that my vamp has ever stolen from another.

Pretty awesome.

3 Years

Yeah...

was a bit surprising to me too.

How far we've come...

November Rain

One of my favorite songs. In case that wasn't painfully obvious.

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Found It

Found the picture of my sister-in-law kissing the snake statue. I'm going to get it scanned so I can post it. [She not only shares my last name, but also my first name. Odd, I know. Luckily I am usually referred to as Lissa, or by some other (more embarrassing) family nickname]

Still can't locate pictures from the wedding I went to in June though...

That is irksome because I am not one to misplace things.

Profile Picture

I'm not a huge fan of that picture, but it was the only decent one I could find [read: the only decent one I have scanned into my computer]

If I can find it [and if I ever get a scanner] there is a picture of my sister-in-law with the same snake but she is kissing it on the lips.
