Wow!


As of 04/11/07 8:45PM Central Mountain Time you have 9038 (!!!) posts, and time spent on the board-75 days 3 hours and 36 minutes just since Oct. 2005, when you've registered.
I mean... just think of it--two and half months 24/7 of your life spent on this board just in a year and half

Such a dedication!!! I am impressed!!!

Best regards, M

sometimes i just leave the computer on when i go out and come back to find i haven't logged off.  this has happened even overnight occasionally.  so, it's not like it's continuous days and nights.  but, yes,  thank you for your observation.  i might add that if anyone has broken a leg and recovered from it - you will notice that sitting is the easiest form of recovery. 

i am off to do other things during the day now.  today - for instance - occasionally on around noon and 3:00 but - i've been doing some painting and gardening.  that takes a lot of my time now.

enjoy this board a lot, though, and i must say that i really don't freqent any others.  not gardening, music, or any others excepting genealogy when i was researching.  i really do like this one.

Yeah, I noticed that "phenomena" too -- I leave my computer on with the site up.

Just checked mine. It is 12 days, 4 hours and 9 minutes with modest number of 481 posts since Nov. 04, 2004. Considering once I  used not to log off at all the 12 days don't sound that bad.
But 9044 posts in just about 600 days translates into some 15 posts a day, if you post every single day
With such a rate I'd definitely reconsider my life style.

If you removed all of her posts that contained the words God, Jesus & Bible, she would probably have less than you.

another antioch hand grenade.

well, in my defense - yesterday i painted the other half of the house.  (ok - it was the cement wall below the siding).  but, then it rained.  i went out this morning sure that the paint was dripping.  happily - it must have dried before the rain.  but, it rained the entire night.  so much for working.  this is what happens when people work.  it just turns into what it was before when you are gone one day.

ps  i think work is good.  it's just that pianoforum is a nice distraction from #1 bussing the kids around #2 cooking/shopping/cleaning/laundry  #3 decorating  #4 yard work #5 gardening  and whatever else i don't get paid for but do anyways.  oh.  yes.  and reading the bible.  if i got paid for reading the bible...

Yeah, tell me about painting

Last night I primed the kitchen ceiling and today have to paint it.
Then I have to finish building a wall in the kitchen (I actually already made a frame and put sheetrock. Still have to make the last layer of sheetrock compound and final sand to even out all the joints ) and then paint the damn thing, install cabinets, re-route plumbing, install sink, and then choose and install countertops...

Well, let's not get there

haha the internet is to the housewife of 2007 what valium was to her counterpart circa 1956  - they're both addictions born of the drudgery of domesticity  

Pianistimo, get yourselft a job! Get out of the house! What did our sisters fight for?  So that women are still chained to husband, hearth, home and children today?

Lollipop lady on the freeway?

[pianistimo]

lollipop lady?  what is the hidden meaning behind this?

if i can only get over my daughter's insanity - i could move on to my own.  she was telling me yesterday the name for the skin on your elbow.  i said, that sounds nasty.  then, she starts telling me it's a term doctors use on patients.  i said 'get real.  it was a term used in the middle ages and only recently picked up again in 1995.'  she said 'nonono - it's in the dictionary.'  well, yes.  what dictionary is this in.  of course, marrion-webster.  they add in words every day to that wierd dictionary.  'freaklish' is her made-up word.  i think she could come up with a complete dictionary of her own.

marik - you are a hard worker i see.  re-routing the plumbing?  that should be fun.  only second to ceiling painting.  i hand-painted these flowers on the ceiling in my bedroom around the light fixture (attemting to beautify the only place i knew would stay clean and clutter free).  anyways, i have completely redecorated my bedroom, too.  not that anyone is interested, probably, but anyways - i put up the wallpaper border - only to have my daughter tell me that she thought there were too many shapes and colors and that my room was chaotic.  so, then, i have think about it and look around.  sure enough.  i think she's right.  so i paint over the wall-paper border middle section with this calm blue paint that is similar to the colors of some of the flowers i painted on the ceiling.  anyways, it's all coming together.  sort of.  i mean, i still have to sew the cover for the bed.  it's this idlyllic farm scene fabric - with people living together in peace.  something my family may never fully experience until the second coming.  anyways...the children are actually doing chores (hauling water) and so when i look at this bedspread i can at least dream of a few things being accomplished by someone other than me.   

ps i had thought about satin - but then thought - no, the cat will destroy it in a few days. it's this sturdy cotton fabric called 'ducking' or some such thing.  i was told that it was normally $24. per yard and i got it for $3.49.  once home - i thought - why did i buy this.  was it the price alone?  i was scammed i tell you.  but, it matches the cream recliner.  it is cream and has blue people on it and farm houses and well, odd assortments of animals such as cows and chickens and dogs, carts of fruit, and women/men looking busy.  a perfect pennsylvania piece of fabric.  but, i mean - when i look at it - it kind of makes me think - there is nothing really romantic about this fabric.  oh well.  it will stay together in one piece for an entire year.

I didn't know that you had a sister, or that Susan had one either(!). That said, I think that you're possibly being a little unfair here. One the one hand, some time ago, you (at least I think it was you) implied that "husband, hearth, home and children" might on occasion get somewhat sidelined by a certain lady's chronic pianostreetitis, yet now you appear to blame pianostreet itself (or at least the internet without which it would not exist) for replacing Hofmann la Roche's star seller as a treatment for "the drudgery of domesticity". Hmmm...

Must go do some washing up (well, stick some things in a dishwasher and switch it on, anyway - can't have TOO much "drudge", can we?!)...

Best,
