How about a thread that is dedicated to talk about nothing, or something? Or a place to stick your head in and peek to see who's there or who you can get to stop by and keep you company

Heck, I can just say I created this in order to say that I actually did something today

I was productive - I made about 15 pounds of soap today. I am hoping to do even more tomorrow. :)

Good for you, Gail!! :)

Ok, I admit I was a bit productive today. I took both DH and child to two seperate Urgent Care offices, got their meds and now am nursing them back to health. During their little naps I'm checking the board. :)

Productive?.......how about me thoroughly cleaning my bathroom!

I went outside a while ago to find a clear sky with a rising moon. It will be an official full moon in about 9 hours.

I was reminded of the old Credence Clearwater song.......Bad Moon rising. Strange lyrics in that song. What makes a rising moon bad?

"Early psychologists had no doubt about the Moon's effect on our mental states. The 'lunatic', (derived from the Latin 'luna' or Moon) was separated from the chronically insane, and extra staff were called into the asylums on the occasion of a full Moon. Special allowances were often made before the full Moon. The English laborer Charles Hyde was acquitted on murder charges on the grounds that he was under the spell of the full moon. The American Institute for Climatology concluded, 'crimes with a strong psychotic motivation, such as arson, kleptomania, destructive driving, and homicidal alcoholism, all showed peaks when the Moon was full and that cloudy nights offered no protection against this trend.'"

Today: weeding, fertilizing, planting seeds, did laundry, enlarged, cut, and pasted photos for an art project, am cleaning kitchen and bathroom. More work to come to prep for first online class, grading, seeing advisor about fall classes (on a Sunday, no less!), and trying to reach people on the phone who are having more fun than me. :( I did watch a rented movie.

I'm bored out of my friggin' skull. Where did the fun go?

Hi Oregonfire.

Hi everyone.

Wow Oregonfire -- you put us all to shame :) Don't forget to have some fun too....

Sounds more impressive than it really is. Feeling a little sorry for myself this weekend. Would MUCH rather be having fun--well, except for the gardening--that I enjoy. And the art stuff. Not really looking forward to the online class, but the rent has to come from somewhere.

Okay, I left two perfectly good jobs in the past two years, so it's time to stop feeling sorry for myself. Must be that full moon!

Its true bout the full moon stuff....I work in a hospital with the developmentally challenged. I can usually predict without the calendar that it is a full moon. Behaviours escalate and generally it seems clients are restless. Our bodies are made up in large part water so the full moon must have some effect on us. Had a client who always cried at the window banging her head looking at the full moon. TRUTH!

EVERYBODY in law enforcement knows that the full moon stuff is true, especially the people who answer the phones from the public.

Cute little thread, Butter.

The rhodendrons are in riotous full bloom here. Went for a walk in the early morning fog and admired all the neighbors' gardening talents.

{quote} Sounds more impressive than it really is{/unquote} Nonetheless it is inspiring :) I too love gardening and don't see it as a chore. Cleaning kitchen and bathroom on the other hand.... :( and as much as I hate to take classes in the summer I am going to sign up for 2 of them!

Awww, it was nothing, Juju

Early morning walk in fog sounds nice! It is too hot for comfort here yet again, hence I am stuck inside on yet another beautiful looking day I miss being able to be outside without feeling like I'm about to have a heat stroke, or feeling the need for a shower as soon as I get out of one!

But heck, I can do all the things I planned on doing yesterday, but didn't do....Yeah, right!

Kittee, I am taking classes this summer as well, so I am enjoying doing as little as possible at the moment before they all start :)

Thanks for the moon 'splanation, Weiner! Perhaps I should use it as an excuse to do something nutty tonight

Which classes are you taking Butter? One of the ones I am taking is Statistics
but I just want to get it out of the way....

Buttercup, I don't think you need an excuse to do something nutty. If you want to, just go for it. Have a blast!

Er, thanks, Weiner....I think

This board is driving me nuts this weekend!! Hey moderator pals--I need some assistance in row 21, please *Done* Mod(14)

Kittee, I am taking five classes, one of them is Personality Disorders which I figure will come in handy with all the lunatics on this board
