The Happy News thread

[WarpGirl]

I don't have one presently, he dumped me. Something about too much commitment... Still, I know me, and unless the next guy can out-geek me (which hasn't really happened yet) and beat me at the ST trivia game (again hasn't happened yet)... Then I only will show all of the reviews I get. And he will growl at mean people, and say I'm delightful! OK not really...

Still you must be proud of Hubby even if he beat you. I mean that's what makes having someone great. You get to glow in their glory.

That's awesome, jT! Congrats to your husband.

My happy news: I found a job closer to home! And it's GORGEOUS!! This is where I'll be working: Christine David Salon.

WOW! That's great news. BTW, I really like the picture on the homepage when you click on the link. "Awesome" hair.

[Aquarius]

Yeah, it's a pretty slick website, isn't it?

[WarpGirl]

Ear Candling still sounds scary...

[panyasan]

Aquarius' hair salon seems like the sort of place that makes me wish to have some money. So I could visit them a visit and say: "Knock yourself out with my hair." (And this is problably terrible English - but I have a good excuses: I got the flu).

[WarpGirl]

Feel better.

[panyasan]

Feel better.

Thanks! Now I using my flu-brain to write a story.

Ear candling has been around for years and I'm told it's much safer than shoving a Qtip in there to do the job.

[WarpGirl]

Oh so that's what it is... Ahh. Well now that I think of it the term makes sense... They do that at the salon though???? I'd rather the squirt bottle at the drs. Maybe because I hang out at the drs more.

[Aquarius]

Licensed esthititians (sp?) are trained for ear candling.

[WarpGirl]

Oh I know, that isn't what I meant though. I just meant that for me, it would feel odd having someone who is going to make me look pretty doing something to me that is rather icky (although I suppose waxing is almost as icky) where as drs do icky things to me constantly. My last icky thing was a whooping cough test. VERY ICKY!

Come to think of it... I was absolutely mortified the first time the Drs used the squirt bottles on my ears. I cried. It was so icky. I don't think I dould handle going through that with someone not wearing scrubs. Too humiliating.

Maybe it's because this is my longest day (start work at 7am, finish at 3), or because it's the end of my first week in the classroom, but I can't figure out how the hell to get past the first paragraph of that article. Why can't "more" just take you to more without presenting you with a whole bunch of inexplicable symbols, some of which will very likely trigger things I don't want to happen????

I must be getting out of date again. Today one of my students had to teach me the street meaning of the words "baller" and "gangsta," much to the entertainment of my afternoon class...

[WarpGirl]

Don't feel bad. I go through the "street names" thing all of the time and I'm 26. Now that makes me pathetic. You just deal with more important things. Like trying to teach these people not to murder the english language.

I guess having spent so much time in Detroit will give me an edge there.

I've choreographed my first ever dressage horse freestyle routine and we won the tournament Vivendi for president - WE DID IT !!
