ha ^^^^%--- ha " \ ha Hel-l-llo-o-ooooo!!! I'm ba-a-a-ck!
VK; Well, I see I was wrong (as usual) about an ISP number.
VK; But I'm relieved to see that it wasn't FS lurking.
llizard >> I think FS was asleep at that time... :D:D:D:D
VK; I could _never_ figure out when you or FS would be sleeping. It seems that both of you often pull 32 hour days and then sleep when other folk are not sleeping. :^D
VK: it's driving me crazy. I CAN'T remember the question I wanted to ask you. In the middle of the night, I wake up and think, I must ask VK; she'll know the answer. And now I can't remember.... :^/
llizard >> I had the same feeling a couple of days ago. I had made this sort-of-funny post to a newsgroup and somebody had answered it. I thought of a very good reply, but because I had been online for waaaay too many hours I didn't want to post and advertise that fact (hehe) and decided to save it until the next day. Of course, the next day I had completely forgotten what that really good reply was... :P
llizard >> No, the bug is still there... :P
VK; So sorry to hear it. (both things...) do you think that it's old age setting in? :^D I guess it can't be with you. you're not even 30 yet.
VK; I'm sure that I'll remember tonight at about 1:00 am... :^D
VK; ... when I'm very far from the computer and can't find a pencil and paper. Hey! Maybe I should attach a little note pad with a pencil to my wrist so I have it with me at all times.
llizard >> That would only result in you never getting good ideas... :P
VK; No doubt you are right. And probably in the middle of the night, I'd also poke my eye out with the pencil AND get paper cuts from the notepad... who even KNOWS what would happen with the wire coil holding the pages together!
VK; T is watching the news and just heard that today is "National Drowning Prevention Day" I would think that people would be trying to prevent from drowning EVERY day! :^D
llizard >> You'll just have to use the old lipstick-on-the-mirror trick! :-)
llizard >> That's a weird thing to name a day after... :D:D:D:D:D
VK; But what happens if I have run out of lipstick? And I can't have a mirror beside the bed. I'd probably break it and the injuries would be worse than the papercuts and eye poking! :^D My life is fraught with potential danger. Yes, there are very very strange names for days, weeks and/or months here. Sometimes I think that someone stays up late at night thinking of ludicrous causes.
VK; And think of the laundry nightmare of trying to get lipstick stains off of the sheets!
llizard >> I know a guy who bought a second-hand blackboard from a school and put it on the wall of his room. He lived in a one-room student apartment and the thing was classroom-sized. It took up the entire wall!!! But he was happy... :-)
VK; I wonder what T would say if I installed such a thing on the bedroom wall. :^D
llizard >> How would the *sheets* get involved in this? Surely the mirror is the one in your bathroom... (unless, of course, you'd forget about your brilliant idea in the time it took to walk all the way from the bedroom to the bathroom....?)
VK;

I KNEW that I would remember eventually!llizard >> I guess that depends on what kind of person T is... I know some who would think that would be a very good idea (like that person I mentioned who actually did that, or Harald or FS...). I also know some people who would conclude that I really AM crazy and who would call the men in white coats on me... (e.g. my mother (former teacher...) or the girls who hacked my homepage...)
llizard >> Type! Quickly! (before you forget!)
VK; This is what I'm saying. I would forget in the time it took to get my feet out from under the covers. That's why I was going to attach a notepad and pencil to my wrist so that I would always have writing implements with me (difficult in the shower but possible with waterproof pencil and paper....)
llizard >> Of course, if you wanted to stay modern, you'd get a whiteboard instead of a blackboard...
llizard >> In the shower you could stretch out and use the bathroom mirror and some old, horrible lipstick, just like I suggested before...
VK; I'm typing; I'm typing!!! (It's not so terribly important though) HEre is the earthshattering question that has been keeping me up at night: Do you happen to have a current e-mail address for Shimrod? I e-mailed him and it bounced.
llizard >> So, what was the question? *curious*
VK; Yes of course, it would be a whiteboard with felt tip pens. Chalk is such a nasty thing to hold and the dust would cause sneezing in the night. I have a bad feeling that T would just roll his eyes and say "what next?" if I installed the white board.
llizard >> No, don't think so. Have you tried his homepage? (and if nothing else works, you can always ask in aaa...) :(
VK; Usually my old horrible lipsticks are worn right down to the metal casing and would scratch the mirror. :^D
VK; I got the address FROM his homepage. :^( I guess I'll post in aaa.
VK; Yes he does! :^D (What does IOW stand for?)
llizard >> Hehe, I wear lipstick maybe once or twice a year. I always end up with used-once-but-already-ugly-smelling lipsticks in a drawer or a bag and then the next time I want to use some I have to buy a new one because the old ones are too disgusting... :P (I did get a free sample one from FS which had been sent to his grandmother. It was just the right size for me! I wonder what advertising stuff to subscribe to to get that kind of thing...)
[or maybe they only send those free sample thingies to ladies over 50?]
VK; I've never seen that kind of free sample sent in the mail. Sometimes there are promotions at the shops. They give out a lipstick of a particularly vile colour (probably because they can't sell it) with any purchase. When I was working, I was wearing lipstick every day. Now I'm like you and wear it only very occasionally.
VK; I haven't experienced my lipstick going bad. (I have two tubes - one in my handbag and one by the mirror in the bathroom.)
llizard >> No, this was a tiny little lipstick. It was about the same size as the rubber at the back end of some pencils... And the colour was a nice, neutral, dark red. :-)
VK; I hear sighing in the other room. I had better self-impose rationing... :^/
llizard >> Yeah, I guess, if you have to stand in some bright light where lots of people will see you that you'd have to wear makeup... :-/
llizard >> Old lipstick to smells like old butter (probably because it consists of the same thing as old butter - fat!). :-P
VK; I was invited to a party when I first moved to Toronto (I thought it was a birthday party for someone named Mary) but it turned out that it was a Mary Kay party. Mary Kay is a cosmetic company. We sat around the dining room table and each of us was given a little kit that had tiny tubes just like you described. We painted our faces garishly (all of us rarely wear/wore makeup) and then the saleswoman tried to sell us huge quantities of larger tubes. I declined, but it was fun (only because we were horribly irreverant!)
llizard >> That lipstick was an advertising thing and would probably last about two days...
llizard >> Hehe, the lady I was staying with in England when I went to a riding camp there was trying to sell things like that - and trying to get ME to start selling it too!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D
VK; No, I know it's not late, but I seem to spend more time on the computer than being with T... :^/ I'll see you the next time. I hope that bug gets cleared up soon.
llizard >> Another reason to get another computer! That way you could both be sitting at "the computer", chatting with each other!!! :D:D:D:D
llizard >> It's not a very serious bug, and hopefully it's only in NS4...
VK; Yes, I can imagine that your reaction was very much like mine. The saleswoman tried to tell me that if I didn't start wearing her facecreams and concoctions that by the time I was 30, I'd look like an old prune. I laughed and told her that I promised I wouldn't come crying to her when I started to look like an old prune because I hadn't worn her makeup. :^D (I still don't look very much like an old prune and I think it is probably BECAUSE I don't wear all that junk every day.) See you!!! (I hear throat clearing....)
