Be alert....

[LynzM]

The world needs more lerts. :evilgrin:

[Redstone]

1. Indeed it does.

I'd volunteer, but then I'd forget I had done so and not show up.

Redstone

[LynzM]

3. Indeed.

I was going through my quote books tonight... so many good tidbits, I really ought to collect them into a website or some such. Years worth of quotes I thought were worth writing down. That one seemed lounge-appropriate, though :)

[Redstone]

5. More, more, we want more! Given that you have a book full.

[LynzM]

10. Two books full, even!

Alright, then. Chosen at random:

Some things you miss because they're so tiny you overlook them. But some things you don't see because they're so huge. -Robert M. Pirsig

Be the change you want to see in the world. -Mahatma Gandhi

To be nobody but yourself, in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle that any human being can fight - and never stop fighting. -e.e.cummmings

I love you, what a lie
but not a lie told to me
I'm just not their type
What's wrong with me
are my clothes too tight, too strange,
my hair too green, my smile too real
Do I not flirt enough, or too much
Am I childish, must I pretend to be ready to die
Do I laugh too much at the slightest things, cry at the same
I talk about my dreams as if they were realities, so what
I light too many candles, play too many games
There's too many me's with too many names
I try to be myself, but where has that gotten me!
Alone and wondering why
I mustn't give up hope though
Someday I'll reach the sky

-Emily Nichols

Life is a teacher in the art of relinquishment. -Socrates

But wanting don't make a thing true. You don't have to live forever to figure that out. -Robert Penn Warren

There are chapters in every life which are seldom read, and certainly not aloud. -Carol Shields

"Saucisson a la Bolougnese," but when you get it home and unwrap it, it's just plain old baloney after all."

Hope you'll add that to your collection.

[LynzM]

33. Absolutely!

2. I'll be alert

You be alarm.

:evilgrin:

[LynzM]

4. Excellent.

:hi: :evilgrin:

How's life treating you these days?

[reyd reid reed]

6. Not too bad at all

Things are looking up. And up. And up.

The sky's the limit.

How's by you?

:hi:

[LynzM]

8. Glad to hear it!

Up is good! :)

I'm decent, just started up a new semester yesterday, two classes this round, means re-arranging work hours, etc. And, our daughter starts school officially tomorrow, at a Montessori, which I'm thrilled about. So all in all, life is good! :bounce:

[reyd reid reed]

9. Sounds tiring

But the good kind, y'know? Is your daughter excited about starting school?

[LynzM]

11. Mostly it *is* the good kind

I miss the "me" time I don't really have, during the semester, but I'm getting so close to finishing my degrees!

She's wicked excited about school... and that makes me excited, you know? :)

[Ptah]

7. Collect them all

[LynzM]

12. Nice one, dude.

:hi: :)

[Ptah]

13. But wait, there's more. You also recieve this sunset photo:

[LynzM]

14. Woo-hoo! With special *bonus* sunflowers!

Heya, Ptah, how's life, dude? Any cool new machines, lately?

[Ptah]

22. I wish I could express what a joy it is for me to be making

stuff.
I remember you from some math/geometry thread.



I'm on dial-up, it will be a while until I get the
URL for
a machine pic.

:hi:

[LynzM]

24. That's awesome that you get to do that....

I like math... I get to take a math class this semester; should be interesting. Intro to Complex Variables. Some of it I'll already have had through engineering classes, and some will be new. Wheee!

[Ptah]

30. Here are two components I fabricated from titanium:

and the tool I made to be able to make them.

[LynzM]

32. Cool!

Is that basically a lathe for titanium, then?

[Ptah]

34. Yes, I made those titanium parts on a lathe.

I love my job.

:thumbsup:

[bertha katzenengel]

15. I LOVE you!

Here's another favorite:

Egrets
I've had a few
But then again
Too few to mention



(not exactly "lert" but you get me, right?)

how about amuck? wtf is a muck?

:hi:

go with me, it's stream of consciousness, so desperate for a job i've been working for four hours on a simple two (short) para. cover letter, for god's sake.

[Xipe Totec]

17. Did you know,

That those of us who worked in the space program in Houston and lived in League City, drove home on Egret Bay Boulevard every day?

Yes, it was full of egrets....

but every once in a while, we also saw spooned billed ibis.


Thanks for bringing back that memory.

:hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

18. well, you're quite welcome

glad to oblige :)

I've seen spoonbills. At the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Wonderful, wonderful birds.

(I know, animals in captivity . . . at least at SDWAP they get the best care of any captive animals anywhere in the world.)

[LynzM]

19. Back at ya, babe!

I'm not sure what a muck is, either... something I don't want between my toes, probably! :rofl:
