I now has a student loan at prime +1% clearly citbank have not learnt from their free spending ways.

nice!

man. when i was applying, my adviser told me graduates of this program generally had good jobs by the point i'm at now, and that when they graduated, they were making enough money to pay off student loans quickly (or at least not struggle to make loan payments). this is not the case now. stupid economy. i know it's not her fault, but i feel cheated.

Y Sunny have hurt ear? :-(

Oooh good question. For some reason I thought that Sunny was just reacting to your crazy photo, Ned.

Sunny - do you have an ear infection? Cuz those are THE WORST!

oooh yeah they are horrible! sorry, sunny :(

yes. so annoying. its making my TEETH hurt.

oh sweet codiene wherefore art thou?

Did they give you antibiotics for it or are they making you try to wait it out? I had ear infections secondary to influenza when I was pregnant with my son and OMG THEY HURT. They did give me antibiotics, though.

jordan has had a weird ear-thing for a couple of weeks now. he says it's a pain inside his ear, going down to his jaw. it's been driving him crazy but of course he won't go see a dr.

Huh. Could be an ear infection. Is it getting worse? A lot of time MDs will just try to have you wait it out without antibiotics anyway. (I really have mixed feelings about this although I understand their reasoning...)

no... it sort of disappeared and then came back, and now i think it's gone again. the way he described it didn't really sound like an ear infection.

Yeah, I don't know. Sounds weird. But I would probably go to the doctor, because sometimes you can have infections elsewhere and the pain refers to odd spots (like your jaw). Could it be a toothache kind of thing? Or maybe an absess in a tooth that needs a root canal...?

he has a dentist apptmt at the end of this month, so i'll guess we'll find out...

Assuming valid numbers, then dang:

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., left Indianapolis earlier this morning, bound for Hawaii to visit his ailing grandmother.

...

Looking out at a sea of 35,000 people who crammed a downtown park on a chilly day, the Democratic presidential candidate noted blue-collar and manufacturing workers in the audience who waited hours to see him.

Just thinking about how McCain drew about 2500 people near St. Louis on Monday in comparison re: weekday rallies.

Hahah, sorry folks, this was for ILE. But you can talk about it here too!

I am really having a hard time not totally falling in love with Barack Obama you guys.

And also, I love that about Indiana being close. REALLY love it, since I spent a dreadful year in Indiana.

i got antibiotics for it but the pain has kicked into high gear today. its completely unbearable at times. much like that ridiculous W movie i just lost 2 hours of my life on. :(:(:(:(L:(L(OL(LOQWIHREGigbwPFUIETg `qrp;

Unfun. Bad ear infections are the worst. Hope it clears up soon!

Meantime, naked burglars in chimneys.

ruby, tell jordan to be careful! i once had that weird jaw pain and thought it was something else and then ended up in the emergency room w/ the worst infection ever.

Srsly, if something hurts and gets worse, get it checked out by a doctor. Ounce of prevention, pound of cure; you all know the drill.

As for the W movie, I just can't fathom even thinking about going. I'll be damned if I spend one cent to watch a movie I've watched for 8 miserable years. If I want to get annoyed, I can just watch the dude bumble around on the news.

i would be all about preventive medicine if i had health insurance. obama, plz to win now.

i see your point, sara, but i rly rly want to see it!

xpost, Sara, haha re: W.

I feel like total shit today. For a variety of reasons. I want to crawl back in bed. And it was cold this morning for the first time in TX. See your breath cold. Made me realize I have next to no sweaters (perhaps in a box in the garage?) and I need a new winter coat. This weekend, to the mall!

I'm also having a hard time not falling in love with Obama. It would be a sad thing b/c if he does win I'm sure his rock star shine will wear off once the hard reality of fixing this country sinks in.

Actually (assuming a victory, of course) that's what I'm looking forward to the most! Not in the sense that it'll be a slam dunk, more in the sense that I'd rather have a crew of deep thinkers who are also skillful politicans dealing with things for a while instead of frickin' goofs.

I just know he's going to be slammed with criticism b/c the tasks ahead are not easy and it will be awhile before change actually happens. I just can't imagine wanting the job he might be walking into.

Okay, I have a new Halloween costume: Ashley Todd.

he's defintiely walking into a crapstorm. i think he will remain composed, but i worry about the right wingers going "SEE HE COULDN'T DO IT! WE TOLD YOU!" in 2 months when the whole world isn't perfect yet.

Well, the right wingers might say that, but I suspect that most non-crazy people realize that this mess is going to take longer than two months to get out of.

I'm sure I'll see "W" someday; I just can't stomach the idea of seeing it right now. Way, way too soon.

Everyone has to get better and not be sick anymore on this thread! I am sad to think of any of you being ill. So STOP IT RIGHT NOW!

i just typed "dong giovanni" instead of don. now THAT would be a funny opera!

^^^ would audition

^^^ would cast

STILL IN PAIN. Called dr in tears yesterday practically begging for painkillers. NO DICE.

The most annoying thing is that if i were back in australia i could get hydrocodone over the motherfucxkin counter. GAAAAAAAAH.

also: this wed-fri are vacation days for me and probably that last ill see for another year or so. RIPPED OFF. </whining>

the good news is ive set a goal for myself to complete tomb raider II - whatever latest tomb raider is.

AND IM WEARING A HOODIE - YAY AUTUMN

Sunny, I'm so sorry you're still in so much pain. That sucks.

I'll be spending this entire weekend at the hospital, so everyone here is charged with having fun and relaxing for me. (Well, unless you're sick/in pain, in which case, I will accept that excuse).

hi guys. posting here because if i post on the idiotic "why do all musicians like great well-executed music?" geir thread, im going to start abusing my sitewide yellowcarding powers.

deep breath, count to ten, ignore.

dude you're dealing with GEIR

yeah, im not surprised with him, but who are these other random nutjobs joinging into the chorus of "yes let us get to the bottom of this"

it is a mystery how shall we ever solve it

I will give you a hint, John; they are called "ILM posters".

yah true

hey all xoxo

hi dere

what ever happened to the vaguely rumored remy mn maybe someday visit?

Hi remy!
NYC visit also requested!
I has cmj hangover ugh.

vaguely rumored mn/nyc visit stalled by unintentional promotion + recent acquisition of gf (see also: why i'm hardly on ilx)

That thread is the first encounter I've had with Geir. I've never been an ILM reader. I did not post, but, wow. How has he ever survived on ilx?

I have my own laptop back. The LCD was cracked and G replaced it. He is my hero. And the Horns are on, defending their #1 spot. yay.

just carved pumpkins while getting drunk and then dressed my cat up in a monkey costume. pictures forthcoming.

I am nearly in a coma from clinical, but had a good day. Except for the whole "large stretch of 35W is closed, so good fucking luck getting to the hospital" thing. If it weren't for cell phones, I would have driven around the Cities haplessly all day. (Note to self: buy a map.)

Taking 35E up tomorrow.

John, I look forward to seeing those photos. And I desperately wish that your cat could talk.

so do i.

i think i might have posted this before, the woman who looks after our dog when we go away once said to me, 'the day the pets can talk is the day i go out of the pet minding business.' !!!<3
