The local grocery store here has pizza but it's not the fluffy pepperoni kind I'm used to. It tends to have a very thin flaky crust but I've come to like it a lot. My favorite is sea food with an alfredo sort of sauce rather than tomato based. It has shrimp, tuna, mussels, lobster and a few other things that I have no idea how to translate and am too lazy to look up.


Still some days there is just nothing like a thick crust plain pepperoni with lots of stringy cheese and zesty tomato sauce. Hmmmm think I will get that pizza out of the freezer for supper tonight...

She's 7 months now and loves to blow raspberries.
One day last week we must have sat there and gone back and forth at each other for an hour.

And Innocent One, an old fat man in a banana hammock is not something you want to see at the breakfast table.

Welllllll....I see I missed the pizza party! I like plain extra cheese with a dash of salt so I would have been out of luck anyway.

OK an old fat man in a banana hammock has left me with a bad mental pic! I often wondered how men could fit the whole package into such small hammocks.*giggles* I better stop being so bad...I am Innocent One after all!

I could eat pizza 365! While I LOVE the old standbys ... my newest favorite is hot wing pizza ... they put the hot sauce on with cubed chicken and some blue cheese then add some other sort of cheese ... mmmmmm!!! Hot wings on a pizza OMG I love it! I am not a big fan of the deep dish and my crust has to be not hard, not thick not thin but thin enough to fold over. I never eat my crusts. First of all, that takes up valuable pizza room in my tummy and second of all, I have a doggy who LOVES pizza. We can't even say the word. And he is started to know the spelling. One time, I ordered pizza and i opened the door. The dog runs out and jumps into the pizza guys truck like HEY lets GO!!! I had to wave a piece of pizza at him to get him back in.

My dog is styling at the beach. He is an Australian Shepherd so he's really furry but I shaved him because it's been so darn hot. So, here is my sweet Snickers chillin' at the pool ... I didn't want him to get sunburned so that's why he's covered up ... and everything he has on is wet to keep him cool. Yes, that is his newest travelling dish next to him ... for a dog on the go like he is, it's a MUST and keeps my shoulder dry in the car (no more drinking water out of bottles while half of it gets on me!) $3 at dogs.com.

I don't own a dog, but I do have a kitty cat. I like animals who dont need so much of my attention. I feed and water him in the mornings...clean his litter box once a day and give him a little pet on the head once in a while and he is happy. He is a bit weird though...my daughter has these little beanie babies and he has adopted them as his own...carries them around in his mouth...licks them as if he was cleaning them...meows to them. Makes me wonder if he knows "his" gender. I will take them from him and hide them behind my back and he gets all bent out of shape trying to get them from me. He is scared to death of hubby and all he has to do is hear his truck pulling in the driveway and he is gone!

My dog will do cartwheels on his nose for a piece of pepperoni or sausage. I believe of all the strangers who come to the door ( and he definately guards my home) if a burgalor came in toting a pizza my house would be doomed.

Last weekend I probably did the number one NO NO for a dog. Ever get in one of those moods to just grab the keys and go for a drive? Well Sunday was it for me, we hopped in and took about an hour drive, got out and walked around at a rest stop. I have the mellowist dog there is and he enjoys a trip.

In falling asleep in the back seat, I pulled into a shopping mall.... totally went blond and forgot my dog! Thankfully I left the windows open and was only in there a short time (in womens terms thats aprox 45 min -2 hours) but boy was he T I C K E D when I got back!

Felt so guilty that I raced to a Mc Donalds got him a cheeseburger happy meal and a bottled water. Oh and a small soft serve ice cream, I had half and he got the rest. In forgiving me and being content he sat quietly till we got on the freeway..... then hurled in my backseat. =(


This week I bought one of those handy dandy doggy dish bowl combo's. Almost same thing in above picture but this one has a zipper compartment that detaches and carrys kibble. It's kept in my car with some bottled water....won't ever let that happen to my baby again.

I got sick there myself a few times. But I am sure ye just tossed ye slap happy pixie dust there Tinker Belle, as the dog barfed all over ye car anyhow. haha

I have been trying to find out how much a 5000 diamonds wedding band is going for and if Plague Beast Mutation Cores are still worth anything... I tried the Price Check Forumn, but no one answers the questions.. If someone can tell me, Id appreciate it.. thank you
 
I

Guest
Hrmm..well, I believe the cores arent worth much. As for the wedding band...I have only seen them on a hand full of vendors and trust me I shop allot.

Mostly I have seen them sold as a set with bracelet and necklace to match for a few 100k. I guess the thing is with jewelry now a days they gotta give your char something...resists....plus this and plus that, so not many chars wear "plain" jewelry anymore. Oh, and if I am wrong about anything above someone within this babble thread will surely let me and you know.

I must tell ya'll...the other day I was taken to DOOM for the first time since I came back to Ultima a year ago. I have been pretty much a loner this whole year but found a good bunch of people to be around so they were going to DOOM and I tagged along. Let me start off by saying it was the craziest damn thing I have ever seen. It was mass confussion to me. People piled up on top of the bad guys, going from room to room in what felt like lightning speed...couldnt even target the monsters half the time and had I been in Fel I would have really been in trouble...prob would have ended up targeting an innocent and whacked them by accident.
Seen a Dark Father for the first time up close but while I was setting there like a newbie a Lich Lord took me out and hey I can kill those pretty easy when I am paying attention.
I did lag a bit but did get a few hits in here and there. I should get that place down to a science after maybe the 10th time or so! It was a fun time and cant wait to do it again.

Just thought I would babble about my first Doom Trip with you guys and gals!

I see ML will be ready for pe-order on Aug 14th for $29.99. With all the problems they had with SE and pre-order it is a scary thing for me. I for one did pre-order SE and did receive it as promised, but the worry is still there that something will screw up with this one. And $29.99...good grief...damn money hungry...blah blah blah and blah! I need a cup of coffee!

30 bucks we dont even get a box nor a cd. haha

Right now I am remembering LBR and the 6 active accts upgraded each one getting the butserugly lord blackthorn gone berserker metalica toys but hey least something was in the box an we GOT a box and a cd too and a dorky toy and comic book ! HAHA I couldnt even get my dogs to use those lbr toys as chewy toys back then..even the dogs hated those ! BUT haha we did get more for dollar, out of our rl gp back then for an expansion ! *memories*

With SE I only upgraded 2 of my many active accts. that remains unchanged. With ML I will probably only do 2 or maybe only one acct. just too much $$$$ all at once...and for not even a box this go round ! hehe

ML will be a downloadable thingy and I hear a C/D down the road...still I can see it being like a traffic jam in cyber download city and all the traffic lights broken. People like you Queen who have multi accounts having to pay that $30 for each on top of what you pay monthly...I would have to sell my....rrr...N/M.

I want to pre-order and most likely will but I made an error in the check book back in Feb and it is just now coming back to haunt me so I am kind of in the dog house if ya know what I mean. Well...it wasnt as bad as I thought it was in the beginning...thought a $1000 mistake but after going to the bank and having them help me find the boo boo it ended up being a $100 mistake. In my case a $100 mistake might as well been a $1000 one.
Its only money right?...cant take it with ya when ya go right? *sighs* I'm going to crawl back under my rock now!

We get Wired magazine each month and this month they had a blurb about a very special way to say, "I'm always with you."

Yeah, but skin gets all hard and crusty then falls apart when it's seperated from the body for very long. Don't think you want a wedding band made from that. Probably be kind of stinky too. Course would be cool to add into UO for evil weddings.

How long will UO last? When people talk about the longevity of Ultima Online, they often talk about their earlier experiences of the game. It has become sort of repitious to the degree that certain people have found ways to illustrate the condition of people who are living their last days in UO, reflecting upon the populace and transcribing their memories into rants. But enough about the BRS -- my question is why do we expect things not to change? If something is only going to be good when we have time to remember it, then we are doomed to never be satisfied with the present. Perhaps humanity has no conscience or ability to wait for change, and when change occurs there is no wait and we are not ready.... When people speak of the past in UO, they speak of being happy, which contrasts with...

<blockquote><hr>

Hello this is Sara Fisher, please wait on the line / There's so many things that I'd like to say, but you're busy all the time.

[/ QUOTE ]

There is no more joy. We are constantly chasing our youth, and -- not the youth of age but the youth of memory -- chasing new ideas and dreams because we cannot adapt our old ones. There are fun things in every format, otherwise no new member membership would exist in UO -- and maybe it is part due to our selfish veterans who with one hand push in friends while the other holds them back -- knowing that this is an addiction, knowing the end will not be pretty and that they will one day become tired and bored but still remain hooked... that they will develop emotional ties with people and will feel trapped...

*steps up to the mic, clears throat**
First of all I want to thank G.v.P. for starting this conversation off and would like to say that you Sir are a very insightful man. You speak of memories, change, chasing our youth, addiction, becoming bored and feeling trapped.
Most can not cope with any of these things without ranting about them in some shape or form. I have many happy memories in UO and have seen many friends come and go. I have always felt change was a good thing and keeps one on his/her toes. Every one wants to be/feel young because getting old means death at some point. Ah..addiction...it is possible but keeping with a true addict I dont believe it. I refuse to think I am addicted to a game! Becoming bored and feeling trapped is something I have felt in the past and did quit the game because of it.
But, again being "addicted" as you say...I came back because I really never got it out of my system....thought about it through the years and would come here and peek at what was happening with the game. I guess I was in the closet with it for a while.
Why do we expect things not to change you ask....
We are creatures of habbit...we have a comfort zone around us...we feel safe with the way things are. Change = different...unfamiliar...scary to a degree. Is the comfort zone going to be in jepordy?...
You say "no more joy"...people take the "joy" from themselves, becoming bitter, becoming to serious, sucking the pleasure right out of "their" game thus they rant and want the past memories back...change it back, change it back so that I can try to find that happy place again. When the game finally does come to an end it will be a sad day, but their will always be another and another and another to take its place in some form and if their are emotional ties with people then the fear of losing touch wont be there if the friendship is/was worth it.

I could say more but I am just babbling my head off.

Anything you do with regularity without ability to stop is an addiction, most considered a chemical imbalance that your body needs to complete in order to function normally... I would have to agree with myself that I have stumbled into a few addictions over the course of my existence, and although I have moments of eureka where I can displace the facts from my ability to percieve my own control of the situation, I am continually left with the knowledge that the end result bears an inability of control and a false perception of freedom.

After the intense terrorist activity in Britain, which started just one day after the International Olympic Committee announced that London was the winning placeholder of the upcoming 2012 olympics, Prime Minister Blair and the British government responded with new measureses to not only tighten defenses, but to also impede harsh penalties on anyone they might fight within their country that somehow exhibits ties with Al Qaeda. These penalties go as far as to remove all valuables from found persons as to not allow them any way of achieving a quick bounce back through economical means, although I believe this is more talk than action. Regardless, Britain is thought of having one of the tightest if not the most elaborate defense systems in the world, and the country prides itself on said defense. I am curious though as to whether the more extreme policies will catch on or not. There have been similar reports of these tendicies in other countries such as Germany. Without sparking too much of a political debate, I am curious as to whether you believe such action should be permitted, or if this provides a short lived answer or a more endearing one than our current methods at hand? (When I say our, I speak globally; but in the interest of my position, I am viewing the United States of America in contrast with the rest of the world when regarding global attitude on terrorist activities).

I have my views on the crazy people who are a part of Al Qaeda/terrorists but putting those thoughts into a public forum would not be the right thing to do...besides, it wouldnt make Innocent One seem so innocent after that opinion got out.

Now Vampires and immortality may be an interesting thing to ponder!
I vwant to sux jour blood! Hey, even if it would promise me immortality I think I would rather die. Think of all the screening you would have to put your donor through.

I get that a lot hrm. Lycanthropes are guardians of the underworld in some lines. Godsmack is the band I quoted in the last post. I have ended each thread with a quote from a song in the last couple of posts here.

By the way, why do ghosts think that you can understand what they say? I got a page of OooOooOo. If someone can rez, they will. If they can't they won't. Or if they want to be an [censored], which I don't mind now and then, they won't either. But I'm not going to switch chars for someone who spams me a journal full of OoOos to try and get my attention! YES I SAW YOUR SORRY ASS DIE! YES I SEE YOUR CORPSE OVER THERE!! YES I SEE YOU IN GHOST FORM JUMPING ALL OVER ME!!! Trying to live here, sheesh. Or how about those newbs who "chase" you while the spawn refocuses on you? Just makes me wish undead worked on player ghosts! The necro spell is not enough and does not have enough areas that it can work in ;/! And I don't rez people again if they run after death. Runners are the worst.


I hate people (see profile). But anyway!

Vampires take many forms, from political to mythical to real life cultism and a strange fetish of Asian Goth that seems to have grown in parts of Asia (tad bit of Western influence). For myself, I would have to ponder more -- but I do believe that most goth ideals are silly -- even though goth girls are usually hot! ;P

Well then I shall add to this babble thread. It is 96 degrees outside and low tonite will still be a frying 87 degrees or so for hours. So normally when the air conditioner is going and working, I can even crank on the oven to do a meatloaf and baked potatoes np.

But alas halfway thru cooking said meatloaf for our dinner tonite in a 350 degree oven..our air conditioner decided to dirtnap. IT runs but it no longer is cooling. YEH it HAD to do that on a 96 degree day when I had the oven on to boot. So we are frying and about ready to pass out from the heat in this house, and out of this house cuz no air conditioning this eve. BLEH fix it man's secretary, said he would call back tomorrow...whenver and maybe get his hinder over here to try to fix the A/C. I like definate appointment times by fixit guys.............yes sometime tomorrow or............................I will get to ya. Granted they are busy as can be but he still should at least be aware of his own work sked. and appointments to at least say..im filled up till 8am saturday but if i fix it sat. its overtime..but we didnt even get that much information ! HRMM

*continues to broil in the house*

So there ye have it..doesnt it always go that way..never fails hottest day of summer our air goes out...most brutal artic day of winter you can bet if your furnace is gonna die it will wait till artic tundra freeze inside kinda day to break on us. mehhhhhhh !
