awwwww

yummy egg roll!!

just out of curiosity, and this question is for everyone......how many websites [not counting GW] do you all go to every day? blogs, forums, news, etc. I am just wondering. I used to go to A LOT, but now I have it down to just 4, but one of those is GW.

I go to three other sites regularly, not including Gateworld.

I visit about three others every now and then.

Aww, thanks......

Don't get me wrong, I love hockey, just getting tired of working all the games.

Sorry if this question is stupid, but....what is your job? I always read hockey but can't imagine what you are doing....

We miss you too, Rink.

Oh, hockey is a fine thing/sport to be busy with.

Love that smiley!!!


I'm trying to analyse a scene from "east is East", but looking at all the pictures and reading your posts is much more interesting

Yay!!!! I got two reviews for my story!!!!!! *reallyreallyreallyhappy*
And I'm happy you liked my story

Sorry if this question is stupid, but....what is your job? I always read hockey but can't imagine what you are doing....

Not a stupid question at all!

I work for the Calgary Flames Hockey Club.
During Flames hockey games I wear skates and move the net out of the way for the machine to clean the ice. During a game I clean up excess snow along the boards infront of the players benches. There are three tv timeouts each period, so I get to skate all game long.
During Hitmen hockey games I generally open and close the gate for the machine and the other guys I work with who help with the ice.
When I don't work during a game I help the carpenter with whatever he is working on and do some general maintanence stuff in the building. During the summer I do lawn and garden maintenance for the building.
I also work during lacrosse games and concerts, but those are easy days with not much to do.

[RinkRat]

Speaking of work.....
I must be off, the Flames play the RedWings tonight.

Have a good day/night!!!

Ok, now I understand!!
I'm doing something like that for our local hockey team Skating and moving the goals but just for fun while I am at games.... my main "pupil-job" there is the rink newspaper, but that just every month and as a hobby...Never thought of what you're doing being a "normal" job!

interesting. some of my not-online friends go to 20-50+ sites A DAY which is what prompted me to ask. I go to three: GW, FB and Pinterest [which should be renamed CRACK]. I sometimes check news, and one other site on the weekends only. I thought I was weird for having so few. I also know some online friends who have accounts here, FF, LJ, YT and 20 other places and it just made me feel inadequate.

Weird?
Nah, I think besides all the thunking, whumping, gimping, writing and reading I have to do, there's only so much time left for family, work, life and Libero ...
Oh and sleep - sometimes I just have to sleep a bit

and I require A LOT of sleep

there are just never enough hours in the day....

still curious as to sites others go to.......

[Twinchy]

SO many pages. Can't catch up, I don't have the energy at the moment... Hopefully I"m not missing anything?

So much stress. I don't like stress. I'm stressed out and wrung out. I think I'll curl up with a cup of hot tea and watch H50.

Well, if you call whumping good ol' Shep "nothing", then you're certainly right; you didn't miss anything.

Sorry to hear you are so terribly stressed out, SGAFan.

Twinchy, love your smilies!

Love that smiley!!!

Why, thank you very much, Sy and Twin.

Hey Whumpers



Wanna start?

What a question, Billie... Have at him (not that you needed incentive, obviously)

Let's see....last night we had a pizza.....the veggie kind....THEN I had to eat very cherry Jelly Bellys after that. One step forward....2 steps back....... I have been trying to watch what I eat and so far I'm not doing so well.

The way I see it, by your account, you're doing a half decent job of "watching" what you are eating, iheartshep.

After that, I began to take a stab at the latest challenge! I got on a roll......then had to stop because we went over to a friend's house. Got home and lost the muse! I shall try again later if I have a chance. I think the story so far makes sense (in a quirky sort of way).

Wish me luck for a finish!

Here's sending good luck vibes!

Rink, that sounds awesome - if I may say so.

Sleep is overrated anyhow...

Quiet day in the library = Libero learned the ABC
Thank you taris!!!

Spoiler:

ABC of Whump

Acrid smoke filled the lab when Rodney finally set down the fire extinguisher.
Blue clouds were dancing above the console in the middle of the room, most of the crystals at least blackened while others were melted beyond recognition.
Crystals … what were I to …, he wondered.
Dumbfounded Rodney stared at the one intact crystal on the ground beneath his feet – the one he'd used to open the locked lab door.
Every single hair on his neck rose when he recalled the last minutes.
Fire alarm, irritating delay until he could figure out the place, then running through endless corridors of the abandoned ship, calling out for his friend, hoping against hope that he'd made it outside in time, finding the door sealed, frantically overriding the closing mechanism, wasting more valuable minutes searching for the extinguisher and getting the fire under control.
Grabbing the collar of his uniform jacket, he pulled it up and held it in front of his mouth.
"Hey Sheppard, you still in here?"
It was quiet apart from some sizzling noises coming from the console, where the extinguishing foam disappeared between the crystal formations.
Just when Rodney turned his head and started to walk over to the workbench, he heard another slight noise, it sounded like scraping and it seemed to come directly from the bottom of the console.
Kneeling down, he held his hand onto the fundament which was hot, rough and … flexible!
Layers of ash and extinguishant were obscuring something that felt like a doorknob – so this wasn’t the same as the control panels in the Atlantis’ labs but it might be some kind of storage room.
Might be possible for a slender man to fit into the space, Rodney thought.
Nervously he let his collar go, pulled out his sleeves to protect his hands and began fiddling around with the door handle.
“Oh, come on …, Rodney growled, pulling with all his might.
Pain rippled through his arms and he knew he couldn’t go on much longer, but in the same moment, the door swung open with a loud screech.
Quavering he looked into the black smoking hole and suddenly he heard the same scraping noise only a little bit louder and mixed with another eerie sound: someone was whimpering in agony!
Rodney crawled forward, felt his way carefully and finally reached his hidden friend.
“Sheppard – hey, buddy … it’s ok … I got you!”
Tugging gently at his friend’s jacket, he managed to drag John into the light.
“… u … fff.. ound … mmme, R’dney … ggoo… dd … m … collld …”
Very slowly Rodney moved him to the hallway where he could ascertain at least John’s visible injuries: bleeding head wound, burned hands and obviously broken leg.
“Wouldn’t leave you behind, my friend … no chance!”
X-rays would probably show some broken ribs too, if Rodney was interpreting his friend’s labored breathing correctly, but first things first, he had to call for the troops and then, home at Atlantis, Carson would patch Sheppard up.
“You … ‘re a … a good mm … man, R’dney … th … thanks for sa … ving my as … ss.”
“Zip it, man and save your breath - we’re going home!”

And thank you Joanie

Terrific ideas, Libero.
