Kalekona | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 05:22 pm     I have a real complaint today... We had a local landmark (built in 1889) burn to the ground today. For more than 80 years it has been a family owned grocery store and local social stop. And in two hours it was gone. I guess now I know i'm a local for sure since when i heard about it I cried and stopping by on the way to work to see it was emotional. People coming from all over town and telling their memories of the place. It just bites really bad. And that's my complaint for today- (oh that and my cat ran away after i moved heaven and earth to make sure i would be able to keep her in my new apt. stupid cat! ) |
Beruthiel | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 05:34 pm     Sorry for both your losses, Kalekona. We've got raging forest fires here, and people have lost homes, and pets too, so know what you're feeling  |
Twiggyish | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 05:35 pm     awww Kalekona, that's a shame..another piece of history gone. Hope your kitty comes back. |
Kalekona | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 05:44 pm     Thanks all. The cat dissapearing is just a Murphy's Law kind of thing. When we moved into the apt the manager said i could only keep one cat (that's like picking which child you want to keep), we've had some loses and with so many "stressers" my doctor was cool enough to write a letter saying she recommended we be able to keep both cats as thereputic! Score now they couldn't make get rid of her.. and she sneaks out and gets lost. go figure. (hey for a few minutes I thought maybe the manager had come in while we were gone and snatched her! she's the type that would do so) I think she'll come home when she gets good and hungry. (i hope) |
Weinermr | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 05:46 pm     Kalekona, so very sad for you and your family today. I'm sending vibes to the cat, telling her to go home where she belongs. |
Max | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 07:07 pm     Kalekona, Check in the neighborhood where you used to live to see if your cat went "home". Sometimes they do that, especially if it's not too far away. |
Hamsterlady | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:41 pm     I need to complain that I'm upset I got excited about a twist possibly involving former BBUK contestants. Then it became rather obvious that A.S. & CBS had decided not to play all along. Argh!!!! This would have been so good for BBUS. (Well actually THAT would have been so good for BBUS. I'm still watching and still love BB4 but bringing players that were in BBUK would have been really cool.) |
Bridget | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:54 pm     I need to complain that I have no idea why Dana is so PO'd right now. |
Weinermr | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 08:55 pm     Because she is Dana. She is at one with her pissed off Dananess |
Kalekona | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 01:02 am     Thanks Weinermr and Max. We are keeping an eye on the old house and hoping she gets hungry soon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she is to afraid of the cars noise to cross the street. |
Beruthiel | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 03:07 am     I asked this just now in the quick question thread, but I'm here too to see if anyone else has the same problem. All the posts are in heavy black print, which is really hard on the eyes. It was okay last night, about 8 hours ago, so is it the board or is it my computer? I want it to stop and go back to normal, I can't read anything because it's like being shouted at! If it's my computer, please tell me so I can fix it asap! Thanks! |
Xarph | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 03:11 am     It is the board. It will probably stay this way until the webmaster wakes up, has his coffee, reads his mail, diagnoses the problem and fixes it. Either that or he has decided he likes this new look and that will be that. |
Beruthiel | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 03:20 am     Well, thanks for the answer, Xarph, but I'm hoping it will return to normal! |
Laisey | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 08:42 am     I want to complain that it's all Richard Hatch's fault. He started this alliance thing and he should have published an "Alliances For Dummies." It would be short. "When forming alliances, wait until you get to know the others. Do not try to form an alliance within four hours of meeting each other." The first night in BB2 Kent tried to form an alliance with the men to evict the women. I don't know exactly how long that alliance lasted because my watch didn't have a second hand. In BB3, we had the first six out of the tree form an alliance. Now this group formed an alliance before they even saw the group they allied against. It just boggles my mind and it's all Richard's fault. |
Cliotheleo | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 08:43 am     Well, it could be worse .......... at least they're not all walking around naked. |
Maris | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 08:50 am     Lol Laisey. I remember Kents alliance. |
Dallasbbfan | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 08:53 am     Clio, nooooooo....!!! Bringing back bad memories...brain overloading!! |
Llwynn | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 08:55 am     I need to complain that my brand new HP Printer has never worked and it has been over a month and they still have not replaced it. I need to complain that I have spent my entire morning on the phone with people who cannot help me find out why, when I should be working and now I won't have time to blow off work for BB when everyone wakes up to vote! |
Lurknomore | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 09:06 am     I'd like to complain that I came here to complain and yet again Laisey made me laugh too much to feel the need! Alliances for Dummies ROFLMAO I love it. I'm up for blaming Richard Hatch (AFTER Arnie and flunkies for casting these people). Amazing how scary he was nekked even being all blurred out LOL...imagine if we got to see the full meat 'n potatos ala BB feeds. I'd go blind! Any sign of your cat yet Kale? I agree that she probably just went "home" not yet knowing this is the new home. If not I would definately put up some posters TODAY with a pic in the old and new neighborhood...how close are you? And Llwynn practice this phrase..."I'd like to be connected to the head of customer service please". And INSIST on speaking to the person in charge. Try to get a name first. Also did you buy in a store? If so I'd go throw it at em and not even deal with HP. I'd complain that my HP printer is starting to get blurry but since it is my original printer from what 8 years ago I prolly don't have too big an argument. LOL. Usually HP lasts forever. I wouldn't worry about BB we know the vote...Dana's going buh buh...no mystery so call and get a new printer! |
Soonergirl | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 09:18 am     AAAArrrggghhh! I'm baffled! Let me first state that a huge storm blew through downtown Tulsa last Friday and sent my privacy fence toppling, snapped sizeable limbs from my trees, and broke some of the electrical lines to my house. I HAD NO ELECTRICITY ALL WEEKEND and as a result, no computer, no Friday night BB show on TV, no nuttin. Upon having my electricity restored, I return to my beloved BB site ONLY TO DISCOVER THREADS AND THREADS OF OKIE BASHING. HUH? Nate is an individual, not a state, folks. Grrrrrrrrrr! |
Dallasbbfan | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 09:36 am     Ditto Soonergirl! I lived all but the last six years of my life(and that's a lot of years)in Tulsa and have noticed some of the Okie bashing going on here. I just let it roll off my shoulder. We okies know that we are not all the things that Nate is accused of being. I am proud to be from Oklahoma. Boomer Sooner! (Sorry to hear about the storm damage. I spoke to my parents and they had some tree damage, too.) |
Kalekona | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 11:12 am     Hey Lurk- no sign yet. And yes signs are going up today. thanks for asking. |
Funnyfarm | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 11:17 am     I want to complain about all 4 feeds being the same thing, or if we're lucky two different things. BB misrepresents themselves when they tell us we what we purchase . |
Bonzacat | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 11:46 am     Really, Funny -- just now, all 4 feeds on Dana washing her hands in the BR! |
Bbfanatic | Tuesday, August 05, 2003 - 12:07 pm     i have to complain that we are going to a st louis cardinal game tonight and i will not be able to watch bb until late. i cant forget to set my vcr when i get home from work. |
