Come play in the sandbox...


In an effort to keep the other threads on topic, I'm creating this new one.

Here is where everyone can post their random dribble, and chat freely without fear of my perm. deleting their comments. Think of it as a very slow IM.

Enjoy, and have at it!

You know what I've noticed... Why hasn't Jeremy come over here to do the movie quote game?

Wed Apr 26, 09:34:00 PM  
Blogger Tracy said...

I can't remember what his excuse was...
maybe something about not being good at movie quotes. or maybe that was Katie...

Wed Apr 26, 09:45:00 PM  
Blogger ANONYMOUS said...

Katie's excuse was our posts were too hard to follow and it was hurting her brain or something like that. ;)

You know... I try to go to bed a bit early and this is what I wake up to?!?

I really like the picture for this thread... It's the biggest sandbox of all, and there is plenty of room for everyone to throw sand at each other. :)-

Let's try and keep the sandbox at least 'dry', no?

Besides, us guys would eventually dehydrate.

I think we're gonna scare the kids outta the sandbox at this rate.

With Tracy about to leave... It'll just be Maki, you, and me. But Dat's Zokay... Maybe I'll watch Scarface tonight. I'm running out of space on the Tivo. Eventually I'm going to have to start buying some DVDs if I want to have them available at a moment's notice.

Maybe, one day in the future, we should have a lil' movie night at my place. Next month or something... Just thinking out loud here. Things at my place are still in-transition, so it may have to be delayed until the final gavel falls. I have a feeling that WTG knows what I'm talking about in that category. :/

Ok I finally made it over to the sand box. I live in Orlando, the sand box is far away and traffic sucks.
I came over here because I looked at Anon's myspace page(way to go, outing him ladies, "ousted"? Tracy are you trying to kill him?).
I went to Villanova, a fellow Big East school, I graduated from there with an engineering degree, and my senior year I lived in King of Prussia. I'm going back there in three weeks for my sister's graduation. Also, in Sept I'm going to West Virginia to go whitewater rafting on the Gauley River. Have you ever been?

Blogger ANONYMOUS said...

Tom - Good thing you got over here when you did. I was just 'cleaning' this thread as well.

I lived just down the street on PA-13(West Chester Pike) from 'Nova.

I wasn't too sad to leave KofP area as the traffic there TRULY sucked. Manayunk was about 20 minute drive though and was awesome to just go to Manayunk Brewing Company on the river for Friday lunch and just STAY and never go back to work. :)

No, I haven't ever been rafting in WV. But, GO MOUNTAINEERS BABY!

I wasn't deleting due to 'off-topic', just didn't want this thread to get 100's of comments long like the movie thread was getting. Painful to clean.

Maybe I'll do something like delete comments older than 1 week. I dunno yet...

Fri Apr 28, 05:59:00 AM

I think some people were complaining that it is a PITA to scroll down past 100's of comments. Dunno.

For the record I complained only about the movie quotes comments, I never said anything about the sandbox.

Yeah... I know. I just didn't want to go through the pain that I had just gone through on the movie quote side.

I'll leave these alone and see how it goes the next couple of weeks.

I dunno... I've got a shitload of contractors coming to the house Friday and I need for them to get their asses out before 5pm.

I think we're all going up to Monks later on Friday nite. Could get 'ugly' in so many ways. :)

Tue May 02, 04:01:00 PM

Harmonious Monks off Old St. Augustine. I've never been before... the neighbors are dragging me out. Is that the 'redneck' place you're talking about?

Wed May 03, 12:58:00 PM  
Blogger ANONYMOUS said...

Yeah. That's the 'trouble' I was referring to as well...

Beer blogging is one thing... not into the goggling. Besides, I just got my new bed delivered today. I don't want to 'fowl' it like that. :)

Hmmm... Where are you guys heading? I might need to 'escape' the neighborhood women who are trying to set me up. Ugh.

It's tough being single in the community of 30 something's with 1.5 children. They think it is their duty/mission to 'fix' me.

Maybe if I was gay they'd leave me alone. :)

This just happens to be the place they're all going Friday. Every weekend it's something different with them...

I've got Maki's number... You guys staying out til 2am?

Woo Hoo! Just found out that Monks is cancelled... I think we're going to go to St. Augustine instead...

I guess I'll find out around 5pm tomorrow.

I think we may be going to Conch House in St. Augustine tonight. I should know in a bit...

In any case, I think I've only got Maki's house #. Are you on his Top 8 on Myspace? Maybe I can send you an email with a cell # and see where we all end up later tonight...

Sorry, I was in no shape to continue on once I was dropped back off at the house last night.

You lucky bastards! I haven't been out on the water since I moved to Florida. That alone depresses the hell outta me.

The neighbors and I have been talking about renting a boat for a full day of that kind of debauchery. I wanted to see about doing that for July 4th around the Landing. However, I can't seem to find a rental place the matches exactly to what we want to do...

Sucks that none of the neighbors has a 'big' enough boat for that kind of activity.

Mon May 08, 06:27:00 AM  
Blogger ANONYMOUS said...

Damn!

$2K is pretty strong, but I guess it depends on how many ways you're splitting it up. It better hold at least 10, 2 full baths, and a galley, etc... I'm thinking that over $200 a person would be a strech for many... 3 hours is not a lot of engine time either.

Yes, I'm full of complaints. :)

Mon May 08, 11:33:00 AM  
Blogger ANONYMOUS said...

Wow, that is way overkill for the size boat we'd need.

I'm guessing we'd have under 10 people. Honestly, something as cheesy as a pontoon boat for the day/night would be fine. Much easier to navigate too once its dark out and your bouncing off the other 1000 boats around the Landing on July 4th.

That boat does sound cool for a huge event though. Is that the one you guys went out on recently?

I understand the engine time thing. Personally, I rarely think about docking unless it is to check out a bar/restaurant.

Remember, I still haven't been out on the water down here, so maybe it's a lot different. In the northeast, where I last had a boat, we'd be out on the water for at least 6 hours. The engine was hardly ever off during that time as we'd constantly be cruising around.

Tue May 09, 01:32:00 PM  
Blogger ANONYMOUS said...

Hmm... That is definitely a different MO. I guess because here most of the 'riding' is in the river or on the ILW.

We were on a huge bay that had maybe 2 or 3 restaurants within a 30-40 minute boat ride. Most of our time was spent either drunk-tubing or water skiing, and we'd possibly grab some food at one of those places at the end of the day.

Subtract 1 from the tally I owe Tracy.

So, I hesitate to even ask this, but... No one witnessed me saying or doing anything 'stupid' last night, did they?

Me thinks me started way too early. :)

Yeah, Maki and Lloyd were there.

Doh! I'm so fucking stupid. I didn't even think of HNT.

I still think an earlobe is sexy as all hell... One bite baby... woohoo...

Yes, I'm drunk, so what?

Fri May 19, 07:53:00 PM  
Blogger ANONYMOUS said...

ok, here's a question...

What are the chances that Tracy made it to her event at 7am this morning when she was drunk and on the computer at 1:30am.

I mean, I didn't crash until around 2am and still woke up at 7am, but I'm 'special' like that. :)

Going to the neighbor's 4 yr old daughter's B-day party this afternoon. Good thing I don't have a hangover.

Sun May 21, 08:15:00 AM  
Blogger Tracy said...

I made it... but don't think not going didn't cross my mind. However, it was a good cause and turned out to be fun. We listened to music, chatted with the bicyclists, had the best rest stop in the two day ride...
We're good like that.

Hey people... I figured I'd throw this in here.

I'm going to be placing an order from Rube's Steaks, probably on Wednesday morning. Right now I just plan on getting their Memorial Day sale of 10 8oz filet's for $89. (Check out the "Best of" thread for what I'm talking about.)

Let me know if anyone wants in on the order, or if you want something else. Even if you freeze them, they still taste so much better than what you can get around here.

I wish I had money to blow... damn bills from surgery are pouring in. :(

Mon May 22, 09:44:00 PM  
Blogger ANONYMOUS said...

Sorry Tracy, that really sucks. :(

Just FYI for everyone... I should have described this better before.

They send these steaks, never having been frozen, via overnight shipment in dry ice. All the steaks are individually vacuum packed, which is nice for freezing. Anyway, I don't mind selling off a couple of any pack that I end up ordering. In other words, you don't 'have' to buy 10 steaks if you don't want to... :)

Ugh... speaking of sand and 'dirt' in general. I've got so many friggin meetings and real work to do today.

Somewhere in between I've got to give my dog a bath outside. This is always an ordeal as he doesn't like it and becomes the famous 130lb immovable Akita. Swim trunks are already on for this endeavour.

Maybe if you threw the rubber duck in the tub so the pup would have something to go after.

Stevie Ray Vaughn is great. One of my roommates in college got me into his music. He played guitar and used to play his stuff all the time, I used to juust sit and listen to him play, it was great.

So I couldn't sleep and woke up at 5am. I screwed around with this stupid BellSouth DSL all morning. Even called Tech support, which I knew would be a mistake. I usually know how to 'work' Tech support to get me to where I want them to go asap, but this dude was so friggin slow.

Anyway, after an hour and a waste of time, I STILL can't log in to MySpace from my house. There's got to be some kind of proxy issue, because everything else works fine.

I've tried reseting the Linksys router, updated the firmware in an attempt to destroy any 'cache' still on the router, etc... Still no dice. Really strange.


If I VPN into work using my work laptop, then I'm able to log in. But, Big Brother is always watching their network, so I don't wanna be doing that too often.

If I use a 3rd party proxy site like kproxy, I can get in to Myspace. However, I don't really like having to do that, either. Totally pissed right now.

Thu Jun 01, 07:31:00 AM

I was having a lot of trouble logging in from my BellSouth at home, too. I tend to think it's something to do with BellSouth as opposed to your router and such.

It's actually more of a "chucka-chucka-chucka" sound along with a "brang... brang... brang..." sound in there as well. You'd be surprised at the range of sounds a large tube full of magnets makes. You become very aware of it when you can't do anything else and are trying to avoid going completely insane...

'Some' people? What kind of pool party was this exactly?

By some people... I meant those who happened to glance up from the beer one of the many times I climbed out of the pool. The bruise is hard to miss... it is much much darker than the one I posted.

I'm probably going to the pool this afternoon, if it doesn't start storming like they say it's gonna. I know as soon as I head on over the downpour will begin. :/

I still need to clean up after last night's dinner party. At least my friends did the dishes...which is a nice surprise since I don't remember that part.

Oh, and I can tell everyone that Rube's steaks are JUST as good as they've ever been!

See WTG, if you'd learn to use that little device that you talk with you coulda had some Rubes!

I'm sitting here with my right foot painfully swollen after yet another random encounter with fire ants. I'm so lucky like that! Apparently I need to be wearing combat boots to walk around in my front yard.

It's usually around this time of the morning that I'm running on the treadmill, but that isn't going to happen today. The fact that a lil ant can interrupt my routine makes me very, very angry!

So, I've declared war on these fuckers and will spend whatever amount of money necessary to either banish them to one of the crazy neighbor's properties or destroy them altogether. Think Bill Murray'esque in Caddy Shack.

Have I mentioned what a PITA owning a house is?!?

Have another appointment in a couple weeks too. Checking things out. Plus the durn pain that was the reason I went in the first place is still there as it had nothing to do with my problem. AND it is killing me slowly.

No shit Maki... I can't imagine what condition this place would be in if I had a 'normal' job that forced me to be at work from 7am to 6pm. Foot went down half way so I'm gonna 'force' some running this morning.

Trace - Stop calling me names, biotch! I was seriously waiting for a reply to that email. Couldn't wait any longer and had to get to the pool.

It's not my fault you can't just 'leave' when you want to... :)-
I got a little toasty since I was there from like 1pm to 8pm.

Seriously Tracy, you need to get yourself a job that's got some health care benefits. Even though August is around the corner, it doesn't make sense for you to pay so much out of your own pocket. Hell, I think even our part time people at the bank get benefits.

ok, I'll stop preaching. Sorry.

I could have opted into the health plan at one point but it was mega expensive because I am not a permanent. And since I had student insurance, and rarely used it anyway, I just left it alone. Dumb me, eh?
I'll be able to opt in again, supposedly, in August. This time I'll take it. Too bad I have all this other crap to pay in the meantime. Oh well.
I gotta start sending out resumes again. Not because I don't want to stay here but because it isn't what I want to do with my MBA.

So, I got to see WTG & PK's new condo yesterday and I'm fucking jealous. What a great place with an awesome location!

I don't think I could live there though because two things would happen. First, I'd go broke going out every night because so many places are so close. Second, I'd absolutely go over the edge and turn into an AA member because I'd be able to walk home from all the bars.

My turn for Dr. crap it seems.

Went this morning because my shoulder feels like I tore something. Dr. checked me out and says it's probably tendonitis or bursitis, but wants me to get an X-ray and is giving me a referral for PT.

I'm liking this Dr. Office more and more lately. If I had gone to my Dr. up in Philly, he would have said take Advil for a couple weeks and don't use that arm. :P

Well, went this afternoon for an X-ray over at Baptist South. I have to say that that is the cleanest and friendliest hospital I've ever been in. I hardly sat down after registering and they had me in the x-ray room. Try that shit in Philly, it wouldn't happen.

Anyway, PT starts Wednesday afternoon. Still have to see if the x-ray shows anything.

Tracy - Eat me... I'm ready enough for what I want to do with her! :)-
Forget the quarters, I could bounce silver dollars off of her ass! BTW - I'd expect these conversations to be kept to us as well, ya here?

WTG - They think it's just a bursitis in my left shoulder, but she wants to 'work on me' for at least 12 sessions. I didn't argue with that. :)

As to 'safe' blogs, you know there is no such thing. If someone needs or wants me to delete stuff later, I'll delete it later.

So, I think I'm running up to Total Wine with the neighbors on Friday after my PT. I expect to drop at least 2 or 3 bills to restock the wine rack. We'll all probably go to dinner up there afterwards. It's been weeks since I've done anything with those guys. You guys are 'hogging' me. ;)

Thanks for offering Trace! That's really nice of you... However, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get another two line cordless since work may be installing a second phone line for me sometime in the future. Depends...

I dunnno if my busted phone just needs a new handset battery... I replaced it once about two years ago when it started going dead way too quickly. This time though the damn thing just shut off instantly without any warning. Really odd.

Anyway, I'm not going to mess with it and instead just go looking for either a 900MHz or 5.8GHz cordless, has to have two lines, have a headset jack on the handset for handsfree, etc... Maybe a Uniden or another Panasonic. I have to live on the damn thing for like 6 hours a day, so I'm going to be a bit picky. :)

I had two cordlesses in my old place... kinda retarded... but I think the second one was a gift... it was nicer and even had caller ID on the phone itself... but the old one worked better. I even dropped it in the toilet once and it continued to work after it dried out. The toilet was clean by the way. Or I woulda flushed the phone right down.
