yep that glimpse of "Normal" and what might have been or what i assumed would be, always puts me in the foetal position and a sobbing mess. let it out i say....rock in the corner for a bit, somehow it does help.

from ms-do :

So would you like to me to agree with you always? would that reduce your stress.....smile.....you know i can't.....but i could try!

from ms-do :

"messy", i don't think so just because it's not regulation Tertia size, thickness, and roundness does not make something else a "mess", there is always more than one truth even when making a flipping pancake.....oh yeah and pankcakes are always bigger than piklets so which is it a picklet or pancake......

from rs536-2000 :

Good for you for telling that nasty loser off! I laughed my head off.

from ms-do :

i'll never tell.....oink oink

from ms-do :

Awww Nerddette your healing beautifully missy!

from fluidlife :

Thanks for helping me get caught up!

from fairygodmum :

Oh My Freakin Lord... File that one under LOSER! Hugz gurl... don't you forget people say things about other's that they REALLY mean about themselves. It's the Ole.. turn around trick of an ahole. Bebe da FairyGodMum

from crazy4muffin :

Fighting Canaries- that was the funniest thing I have read this entire week...considering who I work with, that's a compliment.

from whystinger :

Why do I all of a sudden smell dill pickles???

from ms-do :

thanks.....now get back to work!!

from ms-do :

ok shoot one to me....Ms Do....make it good!!

from whystinger :

Yeah, but I have been here this long and then other folks relationsip problems seem to make mine trivial... What can I say? Sometimes I am an idiot...

from whystinger :

Nice list, I agree with it and no, you are NOT being unreasonable... I should have stuck to my list better...

from fairygodmum :

Happy Birthday Gurl!!!! My prayers to your parents that they are safe and sound. You just keep on going, things are going to look up real soon. Ms-Do is one of the most positive people I know. You are so lucky to have her as a friend and walking buddy. Hugz n Lub, Bebe da FairyGodMum

from whystinger :

Yeah, one Christmas I decided to pick on my sister. I bought her presents, wrapped them and hid them. I also bought some "revenge gifts" like chocolate covered cherries (she hate's em) a Chia Pet and something else weird. This was a few years before she married. She opened up the gifts and she tried really hard not to show her disappointment. I let her sit for a few minutes and then gave her the real presents. She ended up keeping the Chia pet for years and laughing about it...

from ms-do :

Your Birthday tomorrow?

from ms-do :

Ok do as you must missy!!!

from ms-do :

Oh well let the addiction begin i say. I have one of the books your missing in that series at home. Remind me to give it to you on Wednesday!!

from ms-do :

I can feel a crush coming on!!!

from ms-do :

6. Its important that all these men give you constant sexual gratification the way you like it!!!!

from im2evil4u :

I could have used the "Five Tips" about ten years ago, ya know.

from ms-do :

Oh that's nice to have the Echo for 6 months....you might just get use to it that she might give it to you, which would be excellent!!! And why wouldn't they like you? You're very likeable....rolls eyes

from fairygodmum :

Love the Pics gurl... your son & dad are just so beautifully wonderful! *Not to mention your mum who paid for it all!!! Hugz, Bebe da FairyGodMum

from fairygodmum :

The Big Wee Wag said to the Little Wee Wag... Hold My Hand Whilst I do a Number 1.. hmmm... ya think they would thought about that logo ehhhh.. I'm starting to think of that logo as carrots now.. ughhhhh... tee hee.. Hugz, Bebe da FairyGodMum

from ms-do :

Yes you nasty girl, having a fat old time while i'm working and ringing me to report your status.......get fucked.....lol

from whystinger :

Funny, but I was more attracted to you after I saw your picture and after chatting with you that I was before I say you. I wasn't sure about your age and your picture helped. Physical attraction is not always based on beauty. I have been attracted to a few women that were not pretty by most standards. One, Sha-rill was not pretty by most standards (or so I have been told) but for some reason I was really HOT FOR HER! It was some sort of animal attraction. Oh, I have dated those pretty women in my day, but those always turned out to be really shallow and disappointing relationships. I'll take the animal attraction any day. I am attracted to Terese that way too. (Honi too). While Honi is pretty, Terese is more plain... Anyway, I find myself attracted to you:)

from niceguymike :

*laughing* I can totally relate to what it feels like to go without nicotine. I will eventually quit smoking, but, for now, I don't have whatever it takes. For what it's worth, I think it's really easy to make generalizations; heaven knows I make enough myself. It's just that I *always* find that generalizations don't apply to a great many folks I know. For example, virtually every woman I know says she wants to be with a really nice guy -- but discards every nice guy she meets because she eventually sees niceness as not masculine enough. However, a few women do genuinely appreciate and prefer nice guys; otherwise, I'd never get a date. The main thing that holds me back is the incredible lack of manners I find in most of the people I've met, but that's not a gender-specific thing. I simply cannot date a woman who doesn't have at least a basic concept of manners.

from niceguymike :

OK, wait a minute. I will not for a minute claim that I'm interested in ugly girls. And, in general, I don't go for someone who's extremely obese. However, I'm not particularly looking for a trophy. And, of the women I've dated, I treasure those who were OK-looking by most standards but exceptionally intelligent, rather than those who were conventionally gorgeous but stupid. Please be more careful of generalizations of this sort. Also, please remember that sexual attraction varies from person to person. For example, I don't prefer blondes, but others may be wildly attracted to them. Some may like exceedingly skinny girls, while I don't. Some may not like to be with a very intelligent woman, while I do. For every generalization you can make about what you think men want, I can come up with at least one generalization about what I think women want.

from whystinger :

Wow! Tough love - your entry about living with someone with Bi-polar is very powerful. Thanks for sharing. Can I share it with a few folks at my local NAMI? (www.NAMI.org) and happy Valentines day to you, you sweet thing!!!

from ms-do :

oh for gawd sake your welcome.......

from whystinger :

New friends and clearing clutter... Did you know that when you clear clutter in your life you make room for change? It usually works very positively for me. I believe it will work for you too - just don't do what I do - drop the clearing. Keep it up and you will feel better.

from niceguymike :

We are the keepers of the three Sacred Phrases: ecky-ecky-ecky, ka-tang, zooooom-ping!

from niceguymike :

Now you're thinking! I have all sorts of criteria. In some ways, I wonder if I will ever meet anyone who embodies all of them, and then I realize that some of them are just things it would be nice to have, like an interest in Monty Python and a love of the Seattle Mariners. I figure if 80% of what I want is there, I'm good. Of course, it depends on *which* 80% is there!

from niceguymike :

I don't like having my weight mentioned, either, so I know how you feel about that. I'm certainly not awful, but could stand to lose 15 kilos. However, I always let potential dates know about it up front, as it were, and tell them it's not something I wish to discuss, or I say that if it comes up. Fact is, there are plenty of men out there who don't have an issue with their partner's weight. I have found, however, that virtually every woman I've met has a thing about her partner's height. As a guy who is 5'4", I've seen a lot of "Sorry, I don't even consider a guy who's under 5'11"", or something of that nature. There are plenty of great short guys out there, as well as plenty of big women. Even if you are fine with your partner's attributes, it doesn't mean these will never come up. If a woman talks to me about how she's dieting or exercising to lose weight, I'll probably say something about it. If a woman mentions elevator shoes to me, I'll probably just laugh it off. If she mentions diet, I'll say that I prefer not to discuss my weight in those terms right now. I guess my point is, what standards are *you* setting, and what issues are *you* not setting boundaries on? If you're definite about someone who will like your body no matter what (and you should), it will take longer, you may not date as much as you want, etc., but you will likely end up with someone who's a better fit with you anyway. Please don't condemn all men, and take a look at who you might not be giving a chance to for the same kinds of reasons you might not be getting a chance.

from ms-do :

thanks for helping with the router.....i know we will be able to work it out stupid damn computers. I might ask at work today see what they have to offer.....the only thing is i have no idea of the problem.......smile

from im2evil4u :

Those were awesome photos. Thanks for sharing them and computer problems eat at my ass too - you're not alone.

from candoor :

happy new year :)

from incogneat-o :

think the pot may be making him paranoid.

from incogneat-o :

merry x-mas back (a little late), and you never know, he may be saving that one for a surprise.

from fairygodmum :

Congrats on your grades gurl!!! Yippieee... Here's wishing you a Very Merry Christmas AT HOME!!! Hugz, Bebe da FairyGodMum

from notme2000 :

You sound like a really good parent. Whether things turn out the way you plan them or not, whether or not your son appreciates the things you do or not, he's in your mind, the end to your means. That says alot.

from incogneat-o :

psst, i moved. sorry for the inconvenience.

from ms-do :

huh? you trying to tell someone something??

from ms-do :

Talking about it can only be good, he's moving forward and that is great news. That's something that we never realise is how far we have come and you Nerddette have come a long way........big smile. Which night is take away? We are coming over.........grin.

from ms-do :

Nerddette you didn't tell me that you got your uni results.....congrats you did well...excellent your almost there!!

from niceguymike :

First of all, congrats on the grades! How lovely that you did so well in all your classes! Secondly, ref the diets, that Atkins stuff is great -- if you can afford it. I bought up the supplies and did it for two weeks, but it had me eating something like three pounds of roast beef a week! I don't have the inclination or the funds to keep up with that sort of thing.

from arc-angel666 :

Good Morning: I read about Wayne and what you went through. I am sorry to hear of your troubles. I am always sorry to hear of someone passing.....but...I am glad you have a new life for you and your son. So how goes the war from above? My squirrels still attack everytime they see me. Interesting to hear of your webcam experiences I fortunately do not own one, I fear I would become popular in all the women prisons throughout the world lol. On one particular TV show I was in I would received quite a bit of fan mail from women in prison...I always worried they might get out lol.

from lovely-erica :

your diary is so inspiring. i love reading it. i want to congradulate you for being so strong and really living your life. thanks for blessing us readers with such emotionally open entries.

from ms-do :

Evil me? *gives the innocent as look". You could beg but you know i might not take it back for more than a month.......

from arc-angel666 :

Ms Nerddette: It seems we have somethings in common, a spouse that as passed on. And we both have a Son....My Son used to screen some of the Ladies I would see....Then he would lobby for the ones he liked lol. How long has it been and how are you doing? I still have a tough time now and again. Have you read my entry titled September 19th it still hurts? I don't know of your situation with your husband and when he passed, but I do know how hard it was being a single parent. I just thought of a third thing we have in common...I'm attacked by Squirrels and you Maggpies LOL. My name is Michael whats yours?

from fairygodmum :

Magpies love Red Hair.. do you have Red Hair??? Laugh hard and keep on Walkin gurl... Ms. Do say's you guys are shaping up... Right onnnn.. or should I say.. Walk Onnn!!!! Hugz, Bebe da FairyGodMum

from kuinip :

By the way there were no decent men at Carindale, sorry.

from arc-angel666 :

Hello Again: I too find the opinions of Ms Do filled with Merit. What I have read of you in your diary and based on the opinions of Ms Do you are indeed Wonderful. I strongly doubt you are boring and look forward to reading your diary. How goes the attack from above? What is it the Maggpies are after? You aren't an egg snatcher are you, you didn't mess with their nest? Do you secretly despise feather winged creatures? Did you as a child hate Big Bird? Do you wear feathers in your hair or cap while running? Tell me you don't sing a loud while running " 4 and 20 black birds baked in a PIE?" Are you a Cat person, do you have the eyes of a Cat? Or is it you are so lovely the birds insist on a lock of your hair?

from im2evil4u :

In fact, I did figure it out - after three hours of tearing my hair out. Those marks you see on the dresser are morse code. You need to translate it for the password.

from arc-angel666 :

Hello: I was reading Ms.Do saw your screenname and thought...I should find out what a Nerddette is. I looked for a common ground shared by an arc-angel and a nerdette. What I found was.......... ......an interesting Woman giving up Sex and who is attack daily by a Maggpie. Common Ground you ask? Well, the sex thing doesn't apply in this case, but I am acosted on a regular basis by a herd of Insane Squirrels. I made the mistake of feeding them for about 4 days where I run. Now when spotted they give chase lol. I fed a Seal (a pup) that lived under my house (I live at the beach). I thought it had been abandoned, but thought I'd wait a day or two before calling for help from the critter rescue folks. I got some bait fish, squid and milk moush it all together in a huge bowl and set it out for the little guy...he woofed it down and on the third day would come within 3 feet of me and rock back and forth Sorry I am turning this into a novel here, pardon my manners my name is Michael and its nice to meet you.

from raven72d :

Thank you for the note... And I hope you self-imposed 38 days are passing well for you...

from ms-do :

Yes I agree may god bless his soul that poor bastard he will probably RIP come 1 Jan 2005

from niceguymike :

I wish I even knew what to say. I do have a lot of respect for your enduring love, and wish I knew some way to make it better.

from lovely-erica :

what a neat story about the bear. hope all is well.

from rs536-2000 :

That's great. Walking is better for you anyway--no injuries.

from kuinip :

You are so naughty sometimes, and you know exactly what I'm talking about, don't act all innocent with me!!!

from lovely-erica :

a HARMLESS cockroach! yuck!!! I would much rather tackle a spider than one of those huge gorss scary things. eek! :0)

from kuinip :

I'm free on Friday nites, lol, ;)

from fairygodmum :

Verbal abuse can be very subtle.. and with consistency has lasting effects.. Therapy is a Good Thing! Even if it's just a walk in the park or painting a pretty picture. Hugz, Bebe da FairyGodMum

from whystinger :

Just wanted to say hello and let you know I am thinking of you... Sharing is too tough for me. That may be one of the reasons I have stayed faithful. Maybe we'll chat about it sometime...

from fairygodmum :

I've been working on that wish, even before you asked! Things should be looking better already.. but you have to keep a close watchful eye on this one. He's prone to distractions and needs something NEW to capture his attention Each and EVERY Day! Make it a plan to change the routine up a bit just to keep his mind active and alert! This will help keep you at ease with his whereabouts and activies. As For YOU My Dear.. YOU LOOK MARVELOUS!!!! Hugz Bebe, da FairyGodMum

from ms-do :

Oh so glad to hear that. I hope it continues to be good, and i'm here ok just call before you get into the assumed position.

from raven72d :

Great line, yes!

from rs536-2000 :

That is a great line--I'll have to steal it during my next father's day!

from kuinip :

If our heart and soul were able to filter out the bad stuff, how boring life would be, we need the shit every now and then,it reminds us just how good our life is and appreciate what we have, we must remember there is always someone worse off than ourself

from candoor :

just had to smile (and click) on the banner :)

from fluidlife :

Why you naughty girl. Of course you want to read that intriguingly titled entry! :-) Your guess about it being a private entry was correct. I can't figure out how to supress them in my list of most recent posts. I will probably make the private entries public soon, but for now they will remain under lock and key. Sorry!

from fairygodmum :

Take a Deep Breath in.. Good Good.. Now Let it ALL OUT!... Sends some angel dust over to Nerddette Right Away!.. Hugz n Lub, Bebe, da FairyGodMum

from ms-do :

Rolls eyes........again and again!!!

from herdarlinsin :

LOL. Maybe she did eh? Maybe there's more to come.. let's hope?

from redstarhelix :

i got it, and whoa, you werent kidding about the spicy. thanks.

from whystinger :

I think you need to do the paperwork. Get the money and either pay bills, invest or put away for the child's schooling. It was not supposed to make it "all better", it is to help you because he died. I can't really get out what I am trying to, so forgive me. I am sorry that you are hurting. I wish I could express myself better today. lots going on here too. got an appointment with the marriage counselor - by myself. Wyatt

from ms-do :

I hear ya Sister. Had the same frustration with Otis.....he won't wear his watch because he thinks the time is not accurate. I asked him who would have the most accurate time.....he didn't know....so i said a few seconds or minutes either side is ok.....imagine when they used sundials.....that got him think and he's accepted it now....but the watch still sits on the window sill in the bathroom.....rolls eyes.

from rs536-2000 :

I wish I had something profound to say, but I don't. My heart goes out to you and you are doing a valiant job.

from im2evil4u :

Now how did I screw that up? OMFG, I am such an ass.

from im2evil4u :

OMF, that is brilliant! Simply brilliant.

from redstarhelix :

HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY!

from ms-do :

good for you!!!

from raven72d :

Thanks! The Psyduck is my role model...

from rs536-2000 :

Hey--thanks for your note! It was 10K, not 10 miles, but I'm pleased with myself. It feels good to go out...

from whystinger :

Almost caught up on AIM

from themarassa :

You have mail:)

from wondermart :

Thanks. I know about the Mozilla business, I run Firefox all the time. It has to do with the way the browsers render padding. I know how to fix it but just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Guess I should... Thanks anyway :)

from themarassa :

Wow, you DID quote me!!! Thank you for the linkage. How did you come across me, if I may ask?

from jason75 :

Thank you for that. Am glad yougot something out of it

from ms-do :

from redstarhelix :

very good. i think thats a smell we can all appreciate.

from rs536-2000 :

That "mummy" thing is incredibly funny. I love that.

from whystinger :

I didn't get your explanation email. I wonder why? Send again if you can! Hope all is well!

from whystinger :

As you may know, I am in a big military town. There are lots of good things going on in Iraq that the press won't publish. Some friends have been emailing me with stuff like that, pictures and stories and such. Why do they (the press) always sensationalize?

from whystinger :

Expanding one's vocabulary is great, but... I like you the way you are and change is YOUR choice. :)

from ms-do :

I went back into the edit entries and listed the last 50 and i just copied and pasted them into word. So they aren't lost and that is great. I'm just not sure about making this one into a weblog rather than an entry per day. So the good news is they aren't gone at all. You just can't read them on here

from whystinger :

I am glad you are quitting smoking. Did you know that smoking helps prematurely age woman (and men too). It also helps kill sexual pleasure by constricting the small blood vessels... Just glad you are quitting...

from ms-do :

ok i'm right behind you. I have one packet left and then i'm on the patches too i dont care about a rash. The things you listed far out weight a rash.

from whystinger :

I like the artwork!!! it is an ecclectic mix.

from ms-do :

no no i put that entry up long before you came over. I'm glad i could help you, see you tonight.

from ms-do :

Your living the dream. You are a good mother!!

from im2evil4u :

Thanks for sharing the photos. It is always nice to put a face to the author.

from anonadada72 :

4/7/04: Thanks for the note. I agree with your entry today. It struck me as incredibly sad the other day when my co-worker got in to work, went into her office right next to mine, and instead of walking over the five feet to my door to say goodmorning, she instand messaged me instead. Egads. What are we coming to? Anyway, feel free to stop by any time. :) ~Jess.

from anonadada72 :

4/6/04: I'm not sure how I found you. Maybe it was through fluidlife? Anyway, I'm glad that I did. I enjoy reading what you have to write. So much so that I added you to my favorites list. Just thought I'd let you know.

from fluidlife :

You're right, I have been extremely busy. Too busy even to read the diaries on my favorites list (sorry!), but I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The software releases in a week, so my life should be on a more even keel very soon. Thanks for thinking of me and thanks for recommending The Bride Stripped Bare. I went straight to amazon.com to read more about it. You are right, it sounds exactly like the kind of book I would like to read. In fact, I may run down to the bookstore on my lunch hour to see if I can find a copy. It will give me something to look forward to when I get my life back!

from redstarhelix :

thanks for the note. every now and again i do write something worth reading, who knew?

from tpobaw :

sorry it has taken me so long to say thank you for your kind words in my guestbook. i would think about it and then my mind would focus on something completely separate from that and i'd forget. there's that wretched add showing its face. anyway, the point is, thank you very much.

from whystinger :

Do yourself a favor - don't send her the documents or copies. She's trying to pull some type of shit.

from whystinger :

Thanks for sharing November 18 with me (and telling me about it). I have just briefly read some of it and am so sorry. It may help me get some insight on what my wife is going through!

from im2evil4u :

Great film! I tried to make a film on the same site and it was horrible. Your son is more talented than you and me both.

from rs536-2000 :

That's great about the guy--sounds like a fun night!

from whystinger :

Thanks for stopping by and leaving the GB note. I have started reading you... Very interesting!

from fluidlife :

Thanks for the note. I read you regularly (though I'm not always good about leaving notes to let you know I've been here), so I would have seen your entry even without the heads-up. I'm flattered. Seriously. I'm going to respond and mention you in my entry later today. It may be several hours before I get it posted, though.

from im2evil4u :

A-freakin-men.

from thintowin :

Just so you know, I love your writing. :)

from ms-do :

well thankyou for my first note. Yes clarebear, its an oldie but a goodie, I find that people only call me that when they like me. And i only like people calling me that when i like them, so your allowed. Thanks for helping get me set up. Love ya!

from redstarhelix :

like the trading card. and i had no idea you started your diary the day before i started mine. interesting.

from im2evil4u :

Ahhhh one of THOSE dates. At least it wasn't horrible.

from im2evil4u :

So how'd it go?

from im2evil4u :

No excuses! Give it a shot. I met my husband on line and while I was a total nervous wreck on our first date we had a blast. Enjoy it!

from redstarhelix :

friday the 13th i tell you. powerful mojo.

from redstarhelix :

dont be so down on yourself. i'm sure its not because of you sending a picture. less you're kin to john merrick...

from redstarhelix :

not to mention that her personal diary is complete shite itself. full of grammatical errors and really bad poetry... haha

from redstarhelix :

the only problem with potentially being paired off with any of the bridesmaids: they're all married. what the hell? its like my sister missed the whole idea of bridesmaids.

from redstarhelix :

he's either lying or gay

from withkerth :

kings of leon! fantastic!

from fluidlife :

Thanks for the recommendations! I hate that you can't use HTML when leaving notes. I've tried before too with the same result. I am interested in your other recommendations of authors. My son is a bit young for novels, but in a few years I hope to be reading more than picture books to him.

from fluidlife :

Glad to see you're back.

from lambrini :

honey im ba-ck, and u thought u could get rid of me that easily, u underestimate my power

from fluidlife :

I'm so sorry you're in pain. It probably is grief. Be strong.

from fluidlife :

Thanks for the kind note. I hadn't turned on my d-land email. Oops! Took care of that today, though. My son is still sick. I think he might have the flu. I'm so worried about him! We're going to see his regular doctor tomorrow.

from lambrini :

hi, i feel so priveliged to be the first to sign your notes! lovely enthusiasm there. i will definetly be back. gembob x
