Gee, I didn't realize that this was a serious thread :)

Ok..ok...I want a maid...my neighbor has one and I've been guilty of the sin of coveting my neighbor's maid...sigh.

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), December 01, 2000.

A new job. Doesn't get any more serious than that.

OH Feing Sheiu, Rich :-)

11th Commandment: Thou shalt NOT covet thy neighbors maid or maiden

A new job, ya know, I'd like more money, I lov my boss an coworkers but, but, the money, I KNOW I'm worth more than 10.00 per hour.

And Insurance, heh!!! I hate this SHIT, its Shit. I cant stand GQ Public anymore!!!

Jumps down off the rant and rave box and ducks.

We got a maid after I started chemo, since I wouldn't have the energy to help around the house and Jane works full-time. It's great, and we're planning on keeping her.

All I want for xmas is for my religious brother to break bread with our parents and my fiance and I. He's been dating an ultra religious girl who's got him convinced we're all hell-bound heathen. I'm pretty sure you have to at least believe in a god (or, preferably, gods) to be a heathen in the first place.

'Sumer,

Well, if you get a good job prospect, just please try to make sure your new boss lets you post at work! We'd miss ya too much, girl, if you couldn't. Just negotiate it in -- yeah, that's right -- tell him...tell him you'll work for $10.00 an hour.

Anyway, I can't focus on gifts just yet -- I'm busy right now anticipating tonight's fascinating holiday special..."Real Life Jack Frosts: Guys Who Nip At Your Nose."

Really, though -- the greatest gift to me would be that my dad would be cured of his Parkinsonism. He used to love to ski...I remember when he used to let me skip grade school a coupla times a winter and we'd hit the ski slopes -- just me 'n' Dad. Once in a while I catch myself daydreaming about us doing that again someday.

My Christmas List in no particular order:

-My Cat to return home safely (I adopted another, but I still miss him)

-Peace in the ME

-A Case of Mountain Dew

-For my girlfriend's next haircut to work out. She gets depressed for days when her stylist goofs, not that I can tell a hair "goof". She always looks good to me! 8-)

-- (kb8um8@yahoo.com), December 01, 2000.

K: she is 'lucky' to have a man like you. Such a sweet comment bout the hair...hope you told her!!!!!

Mountain Dew?

my cats got ahold of my frog :-( sniff sniff. But it must have a few lives, cuz it survived? WTF????

Truly for Christmas, IF I did have one wish, know what it would be?

That they would find a cure for HIV.

PS I know I know, I dont get serious too often, its my defense mode, um, humor is anyway.....luv to laugh, hate to cry.

Would a new President Elect be too much to ask? Actually I have my Christmas present, a new HP computer.

-- Taz (Tassie@RuralFlorida.com), December 01, 2000.

Dear Santa,

I would like a NEW Spanish Galleon preferrably filled with gold,kegs o' rum and fashionable trinkets.A state of the art titanium fighting sword would also be nice.

Thanks in advance.

-- capnfun (capnfun1@excite.com), December 01, 2000.

A chance. Just another chance, please. I really did not mean what I said. I feel MUCH better now.

Roger can you HEAR me?

"I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands..." "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..."

Syd, be careful what you wish for! ;-)

-- kritter (kritter@adelphia.net), December 01, 2000.

Please clue in the clueless here. What the heck happened to Syd???

-- Peg (pegmcleod@mediaone.net), December 01, 2000.

My brother just called minutes ago from Dallas with the very good news that he has accepted an excellent job with a large corp in Memphis. He will be starting in January and the move is underway. He will be an 8 hr drive from me so he will be coming here at Xmas. I am excited for him. He has been looking for a long time.

Eve--your story of skiing with your dad reminds me of taking my stepdaughter to ski. It was such good fun for us both.

-- Lars (lars@indy.net), December 01, 2000.

I want SO to be home from his training class and that job offer in Dallas finalized for him. I didn't mind being alone when I needed to study for exams, but now that the pressure's off, I'm noticing an empty space.

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), December 01, 2000.

Peg,

In the days when LSD was still legal Syd was doing quite a bit of it. The fame of being the lead of The Pink Floyd (as they were then known) has hard for Syd to handle, and he had some tough times with reality shall we say. After Roger and the rest of the boys decided that the band was better off without Syd and dumped him, Syd, well, it was not very pretty.

He was a genius, and you know what they say about the fine line between that and insanity. Nice that he has chosen to grace us with his presence, I for one feel quite honored.

-- Uncle Deedah (unkeed@yahoo.com), December 01, 2000.

Less struggle. More fun. Good health for my family. No emergencies. Plenty of hope. Worthwhile choices!

I don't need anything more in the way of material stuff. The roof doesn't leak. The house is warm. We eat well. I have lots of books I haven't read, yet. The cars work great. My shoes fit. Life is good.

-- Brian McLaughlin (brianm@ims.com), December 01, 2000.

I for one would like to get out of debt.

-- Dr. Pibb (dr.pibb@zdnetonebox.com), December 02, 2000.

Most likely Syd has untreated schizophrenia. He apparently had a boatload of childhood trauma to go along with it; & add having been an early success - with others counting on you to do more, more...

'See Emily Play' is a psychedelic gem - Bowie didn't do it justice, though he does revere Syd to this day.

For Christmas, I'd like to wrap this year up with a pretty ribbon, and lay it down in the past.

Next...

-- flora (***@__._), December 02, 2000.

Hey Unk,

Somehow you & Syd here together on this thread reminded me of Roy Wood & Wizzard's "I Wish it Could Be Christmas Every Day".

-- flora (***@__._), December 02, 2000.

Dr P,

Have santa bring you the book Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey,good solid book on debt elimination.

Where is Cyber Freud? Maybe he could shed light on my condition. Schizophrenia? Not so sure. Right, Syd?
