Psst! Would you be so kind as to send me the jpg of the Queen of Flamingos in the crown? Long story, but one of my potential swains and I are joking back and forth about visualizing me in a tiara, and I'd love to send it to him just to tweak him. Heh! pandionna2 AT aol DOT com.

General rule of etiquette: If he breaks up with you, you do not have to give the ring back. A gentleman wouldn't even ask, in that situation, unless the ring is a family heirloom. A lady who breaks up with a gentleman offers the ring back. I've heard all of the Christmas/Valentine's Day stuff, and maybe it goes by state, but for the most part, it's often an old wive's tale. To be honest, unless a man drops thousands and thousands of dollars on a ring, it's kind of...not appropriate...for him to demand an engagement ring back under any circumstances. Dan wouldn't even consider it, even now.

from pandionna :

I'm so sorry about the job. Why don't they have adequate ventilation? That's an OSHA thing, for heaven's sake.

from soulstyce :

from pandionna :

Congrats on the job!

from caela :

Oh!! You're all locked up. I tried the password you gave me way back when you were...that other username...but it doesn't work. Will you let me in? Email me at [email protected].

from squirrelx :

Thanks for the guestbook message! I'm glad you found my granny's advice useful. It's been a help to me too, but I gotta admit, there are moments when 'ripping somebody a new one' is the most fulfilling alternative.

from captvfirefly :

Hiya. Just catching up after my vacation. Damn woman, you're prolific! :) (And yes, I'm still reading.) So, did you get your digital camera/mp3 player yet? Probably a bad question to ask....So what's this "something different" you're talkin' about?

from la-the-sage :

Hiya. Haven't been leaving comments because your comment thing won't open for me. Frustrating. Anyhow, I want yo to know you're not just shouting into space. I'm here and reading. ~LA

from jennlynn24 :

You crack me up!!! Bob does resemble toad!!! how come you never post pics (you two together ect) Oh, I dont always have time for notes but i want you to know i read you girl, everytime you update

from captvfirefly :

I tried to sign your guestbook, but it gave me some error message. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry to hear about Isis and the Smeagol incident. :( And? I'm glad I'm still single at this point.... men piss me off.

from magistrate20 :

I hate to say it, but sometimes the best course of action in a given sitiuation is to lie. Any person who works in theater should appreciate that.

from magistrate20 :

This message really has nothing to do with your last entry (other than the fact that I wish you luck with your new bathroom when that happens). I just wanted to say that, yes, kickboxing is cool. One of my sparring buddies (a student of the aforementioned martial art)floored my ass with a whole bunch of hard kicks to the head. Yes, I got him back, but you'll never hear me say anything anti-kickboxing. Whoa. That shit hurt.

from pandionna :

Good luck to Bob!

from captvfirefly :

Crossing everything I've got for ya! :)

from caela :

For what it's worth, you probably would have gone through the same ordeal up here in Canada. At least, in Ontario anyway. I can't really speak for the other provinces. But our wait times are horrendous. One time, my dad hurt his back pretty bad, so we took him to the ER where we had to wait for FIVE HOURS before a doctor saw him and promptly sent him home with a prescription for muscle relaxants. It sucked.

from indigo-love :

hey, thanks for the guestbook love. i just did a massive update. :)

from allie-may :

Are you giving out passwords? If so, I would greatly appreciate one!

from pandionna :

You too? AUGH with the lock-downs! Ummm...if you are giving out passwords, I'd be honored.

from jennlynn24 :

wow girl, you have been through some shit.... i admire you though... Your a trooper and manage to get through all the tough times ;) F-that dirty skank!Everyone is a little crazy by the way, which isnt a bad thing.... :)

from pandionna :

That's wonderful! Congrats!

from lonelylatina :

Congratulations!! I hope you really enjoy this experience. Take care.

from jennlynn24 :

I am sooo excitd for you, congrats! well deserved girl! ;)

from la-the-sage :

WHOOOOOOO! Have fun. Bet it's going to be beautiful. Show biz! Wow. ~LA

from pandionna :

I have a sib out in Drums. I might just have to send her that.

from pandionna :

Oh my. I'm just catching up now. I understand about your sweet little lovie. How sad. And your neighbor's dog? Good grief. He shouldn't even HAVE a dog, if his response is to beat it like that well after the fact. Like the dog is going to have any clue what that's all about. He should put up a fence, for goodness sake. Ugh, no, no more lost birds. It's so awful. Hugs.

from la-the-sage :

Take em on, my friend. Fight and win. ~LA

from caela :

Oh! Poor little lovie. I am so sad for you and your birdie. But I hope the new birdie works out.

from la-the-sage :

One of your ducks? Oh my, that's a shame. ~LA

from la-the-sage :

The pics are great. What I want to lnow is, what's that cool plant called? I need a bunch of those! ~LA

from pandionna :

Good grief. You're a strong one, EX, that's for sure. I don't know if I would have survived that.

from jennlynn24 :

aw girlie.. id give you a hug if i was closer :) keep ya head up....my life is so cookie cutter that you give me the reality of the world.. your a great girl with a great heart... and cute lil duckie...

from pandionna :

If they do, there's no law that says you have to open the door.

from pandionna :

To answer your question, I just finished Guenevere: Queen of the Summer Country. Now I'm reading the second book in the series, The Knight of the Sacred Lake. The author is Rosalind Miles. Gets a little foofie in places, but the characters are multi-dimensional.

from pandionna :

I see you've had experience with ASSHOLES, too. Wannabe European ASSHOLES.

from jennlynn24 :

you crack me up!!! :) keep on rocking girl.. the pond looks great.. i want to adopt a duckie :)

from sooner :

I've wrung out my keyboard for occasional updating. Rest assured, Excogitate. Rest assured.

from trinity63 :

Being Roman Catholic, I can assure you, they just because your mother chose to have her marriage annuled from your father doesn't make you a bastard. You are still legitimate. That went out the window when Vatican II came in place. And really there is no such thing as illegitimate children, only ilegitimate parents:) xoxoxo

from pandionna :

P.S. Of course I could remind him of the time he pulled his groin during foreplay. I about fell of the bed, I was laughing so hard. HA!

from pandionna :

You crack me up! Hmmm, he's got a full head of hair and he's in good shape. I guess I'll have to just laugh at him the next time we do anything physical because I'm in WAY better aerobic shape.

from jennlynn24 :

holy shit girl... i am paranoid as well, i would get rid of Everything and anything in your house.... that is some fucked up shit, i am sure you are going to be fine.... denial is key :0) have a great weekend!

from magistrate20 :

I'm very glad you had a nice vacation. That kicks ass. And thanks for your kind note, by the way. As to your question, the south has a lot of great things going for it, yet as anywhere, some rather shitty things going for it. Central South Carolina (where I hang my hat) is hot as shit, humid, and buggy. In fact, last year, several times over the course of August, Columbia was the hottest city on the planet. Literally. Hotter than Cairo, Montevideo, and I would guess Hell's capital Dis. But, I would have it no other way, even though I like cold weather better. Go figure.

from pandionna :

YIKES! I missed it! Happy birthday! Glad you had a nice vacation. Welcome back!

from invisibledon :

have a great weekend !!!!

from allie-may :

Just dropping in to wish you a very happy birthday! -- Allison

from trinity63 :

How come he wouldn't serve you? And yes don't go back to where you aren't being treated with respect.

from la-the-sage :

A) Happy Birthday (and here I was watching your b'day counter waiting for THE day). B) An island vacation sounds heavenly. At this point I'd settle for a daytrip to Coney Island and it's not even a real island. C) Have fun. Come back rested and relaxed. D) Do you have a suitcase large enough for a 6' tall stowaway? ~LA

from pandionna :

Louise LOVES Enya. Just not enough to stop screaming at times. If she's just hanging out playing to begin with, and not screaming, then she gets kind of a stoner-bird look on her face. But there's a drawback: If we put on Enya, then DAN starts making unpleasant noises. ;-)

from gumphood :

welcome back!

from pandionna :

Wow, yes. Dancers and EDs. Would be one helluva thesis or doctorate.

from captvfirefly :

Yay! Another dance dork. :) No, I haven't heard of those Pointe shoes, but if they don't require hardly any wool or pads, then they must be fabulous! I don't miss having to wrap my feet in tape, wool, etc.! I was never good at Pointe, because I don't think my ankles were strong enough at the time. Come to think of it, I was a pretty stocky dancer - which is why I didn't get too many lead parts (although I did get a few, simply because I was good, and I had excellent expression and extension). I bought those belly dance tapes you mentioned, but I've had them for a year and have never used them. If having calves is a problem, then I'm totally screwed. :)

from la-the-sage :

Finally! Seems like half the folk on my buddy list up and changed their handles. Now you're in your rightful place and I can keep up with your doings. And a size 10 sounds pretty good to me! I'm all yippee-skippy over 16's. ~LA

from magistrate20 :

Thank you so much for your kind note. Like I told peach, I too am glad that I'm alive. I guess the whole situation was worth it for the lessons I've learned. And I feel great knowing my diaryland buddies have got my back. You rock!

from trinity63 :

ya ya add a cast list by all means:)

from trinity63 :

infertility sucks. I know it first hand. I don't wish it on anyone.

from parlance :

Sure, no problem.

from parlance :

Flake, perhaps -- but snow flakes can be pretty :)

from pandionna :

Geezis! How traumatic!

from magistrate20 :

I would feel guilty if I did not dissuade you from kickboxing. Yes, it's cool, and yes, kickboxers are asskicking badasses, but I feel obligated to try and persuade you to the noble and deadly art of Tae Kwon Do. Anyone who says it's a wimpy martial art hasn't fought me or the other blackbelts, and God knows it's helped me out in the past. Besides, you'll never feel more badass than when you floor somebody with a nice roundhouse kick to the head. My opinion is now on record, for what it's worth. Oh, and thank you for the note, by the way.

from lonelylatina :

WoooHooo, I found you girl. I thought I lost your diary.I knew your new name started with ex and something like colgate (lol). This is you right? I hope you don't mind if I keep you as a favorite. Take care and I hope all is well.

from la-the-sage :

Hey! Nice layout! ~LA

from captvfirefly :

Aw damn, you're still locked. Well, if you unlock (or are letting people in), you'll let me know, right? I hope all is well!

from jennlynn24 :

its all good..hopefully you'll be back up and running soon! WoNky (what a fun word!!)Have a great day girl!!!

from gumphood :

Okay. I understand. Maybe in the future...

from gumphood :

All locked out, don't know what to do!

from jennlynn24 :

why did you lock your diary? :(

from jimmysworld :

Your laying brick? WTF. What is this diary about. The diary of a Mason?

from allie-may :

Thank you for the note. It made me smile :). Have a great day!

from jennlynn24 :

as frustrating as that sounded... i was laughing, really hard!!! ya i would check your cc anyways!! :)

from pandionna :

You kidding? I'm with you for as long as you care to write! Cheers! (And thanks!)

from jennlynn24 :

Of course!! I Love ya girl!! :) I need to do the same thing, but want to transfer everything to another name... Have a great day girl!! :)
