So here's the thing...

[twinflower]

we have our places to rant and rave and celebrate..but i just need to chatter about anything that pops into my wee little brain...*grins*  And this is where you can too! 

 

Like...I'm watching Dancing with the Stars.  Anyone else?  Some of these folks are really bad this season..some are pretty good..mostly I wish I could dance...then in the middle of it..comes a commercial with Barbara Walters about living to be 150 years old...HUH?  I don't wanna...any one else?

[twinflower]

marlee matlain just danced..she is profoundly deaf...and did the Quickstep.  It is just amazing!  Her dance was close to perfect...well executed!  Good grief!  And the pro that is doing the training with her?  Just amazing talent..but even more....it goes to show that you just have to try..obstacles are able to be worked with, around and over...

 

 

[Zarine]

Going off that, I might be able to volunteer this summer at a place that will let me teach some basic signs to little kids! I just need to fill out the application soon. Perhaps if I do that I can help out with a program called Wee Hands, which teaches baby signs (http://www.weehands.com)! Yeah, I get excited over things that involve ASL easily.

[Samuraiflip05]

Dancing with the Stars is one of the only "reality" shows I will watch.  I agree that, overall, the dancers this year seem a little more awkward....even for the first week. 

 

No I do not want to live to 150......yikes.  :o

 

Oh and do we still have a good deeds thread??

[Jaydena]

Dang I missed it tonight. *mutters* I am going to have to go watch it on abc.com *G*

[Guest nephitess]

I;'m sad that i will miss dance crew!!! I was voting for Kaba Modern...but they got kick off. now i hope the jabberwokys will win!! I'm going to miss this week because i don't have a TV. :(

[Guest Stefania Sedai]

I love dancing with the stars but I missed last night because of a Civitan meeting. Can anybody catch me up? Who was great? Who needs to go home???

[Sienna]

Kabba Modern went home? I wanted them to win. I've been watching Firefly and Serenity all week.Definately my favorite tv show

[Guest nephitess]

Yeha they did...*pouts* but the wokeys WILL WIN!!!!! Status MUST NOT win! *CHAKLES*

 

LOL...so umm yeah...anyone here like CSI?

[Jhaenara]

I don't watch Dancing with the Stars, but my mom does.  She was a dancer, so she likes that schtuff.  I am watching American Idol past the audition weeks for the first time ever though... lol.

 

I can't say what I was doing last night... uhhhhh... Hi, PG-13 sign  *snuggles it*

 

Ohh and I love CSI... just hasn't been any new ones since the strike, unless my DVR ain't recording them...

[Guest nephitess]

I'm a CSI addict!! I think some new ones are coming soon. *nods*

 

My fave char is Warik(SP?). who is your fave?

[twinflower]

*giggles and pokes Sam*

 

Why?  DID you DO a good deed?  LOL!  Well darling you just tell us here or start a new one!  The one before was for Christmas mostly!!

 

Ok no idea what you and Sienna are chatting about nephi....And steph dear..I am not the one to tell you...I want the broadway chick to go home..she irritates me!  But Steve Guttenburg needs to go...he is really nice..but he isn't competeting...he is on a world mission project!!!

 

Definitly wanna see more of Mario and the football dude...and I would like the tennis star to stay..just to see what she can accomplish.  Kristi Yami will probably win...

 

That sounds cool Zarine..*grins and hugs*  can definilty get excieted about that too!!  I love summer camp stuff...wish I had the energy to do it again!!

 

*grins*  so what else is up?  My daffodils are....

[Guest nephitess]

*looks out her window* nope no flowers here yet! :(

 

Ihave a new roomy, my dorm roon now just got very small!! LOL. she is cute and from vietnam.

[Zarine]

We just got more snow today after almost all of it melted.

 

Stupid weather.

[Samuraiflip05]

Yes I did.  I have been trying to help a friend locate a "cheap" car.  He has a wife and two children and they are without vehicle and without means to get one.  Also he has had difficulty securing a job due to no transportation.  Well my Uncle (Honda Sales Manager) finds a trade in for $700.00US.  Figured out where this is going yet?  So he was able to gather up enough to pay for the taxes, title, and licensing fees.  I covered the cost of the car.  And even though I trust this person and his history of working hard to pay back debt....I still stand with my fingers crossed.

 

And Zarine, I have thought once or twice about taking the ASL courses here where I work.  What prompted you to learn?

[Zarine]

It's offered as a minor at my school and people with my major usually take it. Plus one of my friends always told me how much fun the classes were, so I just decided to take them and I'm glad I did.  :)

 

Also one of my classes got cancelled!

[Tigara]

I watch American Idol faithfully every week.

 

>.>

 

Not an addict, nope, not me.

 

 

<.<

 

 

Anyways, Michael needs to go next. *nod nod* At least Amanda's gone.

[twinflower]

*grins*  Sounds like you are having fun with your new experiences Nephi!  I had a roomy from Japan..it took some adapting, she didn't speak English when she arrived! And had a limited reading ability of it as well..LOL the first thing we communicated together..was singing.."I'm a little teapot..."

 

Well done Sam!  My husband and you sound very similar..good men and willing to take a risk to help out a friend..*hugs*

 

And Zar...i saw the weather..looks like Spring isn't springing out there to soon..I'm sorry!

 

OK so..the Easter bunny brought me Enchanted...and I am!!  This is the first Disney movie in a looooonnnng time that really feels like a Disney movie to me!!  *grins*  I cry at the end every time!!  And already can sing the songs...

[Guest nephitess]

OOOoo...i hae wanted to see enchanted...but have not been able to yet!

 

Yeah...my roomy is cute, she can speak english and read and write. she is a nice person so far. *GGLS*

[Samuraiflip05]

I wish I could go to Japan.  My late Grandmother is from Japan and my Mother was born there.  Unfortunately it would run about 10 grand for a small trip.

[Esperanza]

You guys just reminded me to go put Enchanted on reserve at the library... I'm number 1065!! Eek. Even with 75 copies, this is going to take a while.

[Guest nephitess]

OMG....thats insane. *eyes pop*

[Sienna]

Wow i wanna see that. Not that bad though Esp.

[U4ea]

I got hooked on dancing with the stars last season while I was at home and not able to get up very much. I keep trying to catch it this season, but damned if my DH doesn't have something I need to do just as soon as I start watching it. *sighs*

 

As for what's up... *grins* My hyacinths, my jonquils, my amaryllis is about to bloom, I even have a gerber daisy all pretty and leafy. Heck, the poinsettia that nearly died this winter is on my porch and the top leaves are starting to turn red. My DH is making me dig up everything in my front bed and de-weed it. I made him buy a netting to go down over the plants so I don't have to do this every time he gets a wild hair.

 

 

Oh, I think I need a trip to the rant thread... sorry, ya'll...
