Post here, and I'll make you feel better.

[yvr girl]

Money refunded if I fail.

[Debi]

1. I need to lose weight and I can't stop eating

Help Me!

[yvr girl]

3. You shouldn't STOP eating - really not healthy

Just make better choices. Strawberries are yummy and full of
vitamin C. It's also way easier to eat better in the summer.

Keep your eyes on your goal.

[chickenscratching]

2. hi

:cry:

[yvr girl]

7. You're not giving me much to go on - not a mind-reader but...

The days are getting longer, summer is almost upon us. That always makes me happy.

And as a bonus, rainbows are free.

[huskerlaw]

4. I have tickets to go to a concert...

The Faint and Bright Eyes...well actually my friends have the tickets. And they're in Kansas City. And there's a supercell/tornadic thunderstorm between KC and here, so they're not coming. So I can't go. This sucks.

[yvr girl]

10. My flight instructor drilled into my head the following:

There's NO place you have to be bad enough, that it's worth dying getting there. There are many worse things than missing a concert.

Is the concert in your town? Could they phone the box office and explain the situation? They might be able to give you a replacement ticket.

[huskerlaw]

19. Yeah, that's our theory too.

Unfortunately, the concert is a little over an hour away from me, and well, going alone...hella uncool. :dunce:

I know it was the right decision, but I'm still bummed about it. I sooo wanted to hear Bright Eyes do "When the President Talks to God."

[yvr girl]

35. Could you bring a different friend?

One with a car?

[huskerlaw]

88. The car's not the problem...

The tickets are in Missouri, I'm in Nebraska, the concert's in Iowa. ;)

[Hugin]

5. I'm crabby...

Should I make crabby patties?

[yvr girl]

12. I love crab, so I vote yes

It's kind of like making lemonade, except smellier.

[Hugin]

26. Thanks! I *do* feel better.

I really do!

:)

[motely36]

6. I'm getting over a cold

and I'm really tired, and I don't want to go to my meeting tonight.

[yvr girl]

16. You're getting over the cold, so that's a good thing

You might nod off at the meeting. You'll either get some much needed rest or amuse people as the drool seeps from your mouth. It's all good.

[ET Awful]

8. Oh please do, I've misplaced my duck . . .

Have you seen her?

She looks so much like the other ducks at the pond that I just can't pick her out of the crowd anymore.

[Hugin]

11. I was wondering when people were finally going to get around...

to talking about Ducks here... I mean after all this
is the DU forum!

All they talk about is politics... What about the wetlands?

Save the critters!

[Der Blaue Engel]

17. I always feel better when I see Quinn

:hi:

[yvr girl]

20. I got a call from my groove

She mentioned that she had a new pet duck. Mystery solved.

How can you be in bad mood, you just found out that you have a woman secretly pining for you. :blush:

[ET Awful]

25. Well I feel much better now that my duck is located :)

It was nothing personal, I mean even when I'm being pined for, my duck still means a lot to me :)

I do hope my secert piner isn't too upset :)

[yvr girl]

36. She thinks everything you do is wonderful

How could she not?

...at least that's what I've heard.

[ET Awful]

40. Now it's my turn to

:blush:

[yvr girl]

46. I can't believe we didn't meet in Boston

:cry:

[ET Awful]

47. Blame my company, I had to sneak out early and go to work

:(

We'll sneak you back to Boston someday though.

[yvr girl]

51. I heard.

I would love that.

NYC was my favourite US city, but Boston has beat it. I still love NYC, but Boston is just so much more manageable. I love to visit New York, but I could live in Boston.

[ET Awful]

53. Agreed completely :)

NYC is a dandy place to go have fun, but Boston is much better for actual livin' :).

[yvr girl]

55. If only you didn't have those gawd awful winters

I'm a wimp when it comes to the cold.

[ET Awful]

62. That's what fireplaces, hot chocolate and significant others are for

Unfortunately, all I have is hot chocolate :).

Then again, kitties make great foot warmers :)

[yvr girl]

67. I don't have any kitties

:cry:

I do have a candle holder that looks like a fireplace screen though, so I can pretend I have a fireplace.

Significant others are harder to conjure up.

[ET Awful]

69. Well I understand you not having any kitties, after all, your groove is

allergic.

But I'm sure a vibrant lass such as yourself can find a significant other :).

[yvr girl]

71. My groove, and my lease

Believe it or not, I'm a bit shy. Let's call a spade a spade. I'm chicken.

[ET Awful]

73. Well so am I!

So there! :)

[yvr girl]

75. This must explain why two such wonderful people

such as ourselves are without significant others.

[ET Awful]

79. I'd say that's about right :)

Poor lonely us :)

[yvr girl]

80. I'm actually not lonely

I'm pretty good by myself. I'm not opposed to company, but it needs to be right.

[ET Awful]

83. I'm not unhappy, I just get bored :)

I'm not opposed to company either :)

[Aristus]

9. Had a busy morning and am now unwinding with my peeps at DU.

But I could stand to feel a little better. :-)

[yvr girl]

21. What will work for you?

One of these :hug:, or one of these :grouphug: or maybe one of these, :*

[Aristus]

29. From you?

All of the above, please! ;-)

[yvr girl]

37. Here you go then

:hug: :* :hug: :* :grouphug:

[Aristus]

48. Mmm. Yummy!

Back atcha, yvr girl! :hug: :* :pals:

[Left Is Write]

13. I could use a little cheer.

[yvr girl]

22. Your avatar always make me smile

It's infections (in a good way.)

Don't you love spring? You go outside and it just smells like flowers everywhere. :hi:

[Left Is Write]

23. Thank you!

:)

[Magrittes Pipe]

14. I am... erm... how do I say this?

Frustrated.

[yvr girl]

24. Uh...how do I ask this...

Are your arms in a sling? I'd say men are at an advantage when dealing with...frustration...you're a much more straight-forward machine.

[Magrittes Pipe]

27. I am too hideous to touch.

[yvr girl]

39. Close your eyes and think about

your heart's desire.

[billyskank]

15. I have a job interview tomorrow

[yvr girl]

They maybe nerve-wracking but it's better

than not having a job interview.

Good luck. Be calm, friendly and confident. Oh, and don't chew gum.

[Longgrain]

18. Well, I wasn't feel that bad today, but I suppose there always something

we could feel better about, so fire away.

[yvr girl]

31. You're having a good day when lots of people on DU aren't

You're lucky. I also hear that it's a phenomenal day in your general area. Get out and enjoy it.

[Longgrain]

33. I'm heading out right now

just checking DU a little bit after getting home from work.

And you're right, it's been a gorgeous day out here.

[youthere]

28. It's raining and I feel like crap.

[yvr girl]

32. I'm from Vancouver, so I know of which I speak

Embrace the rain. It's cleaning everything up. The dust will go away, the air will be clearer and the grass a little bit greener.

Light a candle, drink some tea or cocoa and read a good book.

[barackmyworld]

30. pms *sigh*

I am cranky, and I have a big paper due soon but a formal dance tonight.

[yvr girl]

34. Being a woman can suck. This I know.

But you're one who is smart enough to get into Harvard and beautiful to boot. (I saw your picture with John Edwards.)

Get off DU, put some quality time into your paper. Dance with abandon and have fun. If your date is a horror, you can think about your paper. If your night is great, then you'll be more inclined to buckle down tomorrow.

[DrDebug]

38. I'm about to log off...

Now make me feel better.

[yvr girl]

41. We'll miss you while you're gone

I'll petition Skinner to hold everything until you get back. It's not the same without you. ;-)

[DrDebug]

43. Cool :) You just made me feel better

Thanks for freezing the board for 24 hours :rofl:

[yvr girl]

It's up to Skinner

but I'll do my best.

[sniffa]

42. i wanna kiss rev-acts again

[yvr girl]

44. She wants to kiss you again too

A girl never forgets her first kiss. You will be with her always.

[sniffa]

45. yay

that makes me happy. :D

[Corey_Baker08]

49. I Have Poison Ivy...

And Cant go back to school until its "evauated by a doctor" I cant get into my Doctor until Friday and my math grade is failing with 11 days of school left...

[yvr girl]

50. Can you go to a walk-in clinic or emergency?

Can you get homework sent home? This is a tough one.

On the bright side - you only have 11 days of school left!

And more importantly, you are a 15 year old who has already realized that stuff matters. You have your whole life to make a difference, and make the world a better place.

[edbermac]

52. Money refunded? Just send me MONEY!!!!

My photography is getting to be a VERY expensive hobby; just back up a Brinks truck to my house...somebody, anybody!

[yvr girl]

54. At least it's not flying

That was the FASTEST way I ever found to spend money.

AND...you are getting to express yourself.

[DrZeeLit]

56. Okay... I'm frustrated...

I've started writing the next chapter in my novel five times today.
I hate it.
It sucks.
It sucks worse than spring mud in Vermont.

I'm writing a romantic comedy and ... let's discuss.... currently it's not romantic and it's not a comedy...

I mean...the more I write, the less funny it gets.

Sooooo.... time to shift outta this gear.
(and you're probably wondering why I'm driving in the house, or typing in the car...but that's another story) (I'm not) (it's one of them there metaphors)

[yvr girl]

58. I was wondering

I thought it might be a Vermont thing.

Your post proves to me that the funny is still in you, you just need to get it on the page.

Is it the telling of the story that is giving you the problems, or is it the story itself. Maybe you should step away for a bit. Or, maybe you should stop editing and just write. You can always go back and polish - get the bones on the page.

[TK421]

57. I really need a beer, but I can't have one until I'm off work

:-(

[yvr girl]

61. No one NEEDS beer

You will survive. Tell you what, for being so patient, you can have two when you get off work.

[TK421]

66. You are correct...I don't need beer, but I would really like one now

You buying?;-)

[yvr girl]

68. Of course

;-)

[Jara sang]

59. Haven't been myself lately.

Too much doom and gloom:evilfrown:

[yvr girl]

63. But I've loved you anyway

Doesn't that count for anything? :*

[Jara sang]

64. It makes all the difference in the world!

:D :pals:

[Redstone]

60. You mean you have some morphine?

That's the only thing that'll work.

Redstone

[yvr girl]

65. How about scotch?

How about one of these :hug: ?

If I had some, it would be yours. Feel better.

You were one of the best surprizes of my trip. I'm so glad I met you.

[Redstone]

84. I do have a good supply of Finlandia ready to hand,

so the Scotch isn't necessary. Morphine would make a good chaser, though.

Thank you for the thoughts and compliments. It was a genuine pleasure hanging out with you as well. I do look forward to doing so again sometime...are you planning to host the International DU Get-Together in Vancouver any time soon?

Redstone

[xmas74]

70. I found a dead cat under my front porch.

I think that it had been there for a few days. It smelled bad.

[yvr girl]

74. At least you found it before it got worse

:shrug:

You poor thing. I'm not good with anything icky or smelly.

:pals:

[xmas74]

77. Thank you.

It was pretty bad. The flies lead me to it.

[yvr girl]

81. Please don't tell me anymore

I actually threw up once telling a co-worker about something I'd seen on TV. I have a vivid imagination.

[xmas74]

89. It takes alot for me to get sick.

[Seabiscuit]

72. Waaaa...aaaaa...aaaaaaah!

:cry:

[yvr girl]

76. A good cry can be cathartic

Get it out and you'll feel better.

:hug:

[Seabiscuit]

90. That's not what I wanted to hear! I wanted you to cheer me up!!!

Waaaaaaaaaa.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.....Waaaaaaaa..................aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..............aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

:cry:
:cry:
:cry:

[Liberalynn]

78. I have dreams of being a writer but I have writer's block!

nt

[yvr girl]

82. Write everyday

Write something.

At least you have your dreams...keep plugging away.

[Liberalynn]

113. Thanks

that is good advice and I do feel better. :)

[MissB]

85. Okay.

I still haven't started dinner yet. :hi:

[yvr girl]

91. I hope you have by now

I had company for dinner so I needed to take a bit of a break.

You get to put your head on your pillow soon and drift off into sweet slumber.

[Huckebein the Raven]

86. I could use a backrub

:D

[yvr girl]

92. I'm practically famous for my backrubs

Get over here and I'll give you one. I've got the massage gel all ready to go.

[Huckebein the Raven]

99. *takes a seat on the sofa*

[yvr girl]

102. For a proper massage

You need to be flat out.

[Huckebein the Raven]

104. Okay. Where do you want me to lay down ?

[yvr girl]

106. How about the floor

I have a yoga matt.

[Huckebein the Raven]

107. Sure

[Race4Peace]

87. RIP to our little kitten...

Our littlest kitten was just taken to the vet. He was already the wobbliest and smallest of the trio that came from our smallest full-grown cat, Sam-or Silky-kit. He had been gasping for air all day, had diarrhea, and his right eye was always closed up-and infected.

My sister was asking to take him to the vet. When we got there, the Veterinarian said that he had only 30 more minutes without treatment, but it wouldn't have helped because he wasn't fully developed. Nothing left to do, except for euthanizing him.

We bought some kitten food-which has extra calcium-for Sam during nursing(because the milk that the mother cat produces takes the calcium from her bones), and for the kittens when they're old enough to eat solids. There should be enough left to last awhile next time...


RIP little guy:cry:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3233284

[yvr girl]

93. I'm so sorry

I was devastated when my pet died.

I won't say anything trite, I'll just give you one of these :hug:

[ContraBass Black]

94. Too many complaints to list.

Please, comfort me.

[yvr girl]

96. Do you have a list of good things too?

That will make you feel better.

So, I assume you can sing - I'm so jealous.

I guy sang to me once while we were dancing and I just melted. Very romantic. You have a smooth move tucked in your back pocket.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

95. Hi, yvr girl,

I don't actually need cheering up; I just felt like saying HI! I just stepped out on my balcony and had a quick last look at the waxing moon. It's a beautiful crescent...I'm a genuine lunatic! Nice chatting with all of you earlier! I do think I prefer one on one, though...Gets confusing!


:loveya:


:pals:

[yvr girl]

97. Must be confusing, because I wasn't even there!

I had a friend over for dinner, so I wasn't online.

I love looking at the moon to. Sometimes it seems so close you could touch it.

:loveya:

[Neoma]

98. I'm happy right now

Without being petted on.
But thanks for the offer. :popcorn:

[yvr girl]

100. The mood was a bit down in the lounge when I started this thread

I HAD to do something.

[Neoma]

108. awwww..

Heres ya go:

[yvr girl]

110. Those are beautiful

Thanks.

[Mojambo]

101. Okay, have fun unblocking my colon. n/t

[yvr girl]

103. I'm not a medical professional

So I won't intervene directly, but have you tried coffee? It often gets things...moving.

[leftofthedial]

105. I'm getting divorce

I just lost my job

I can't find my car keys

I quit drinking not long ago (wasn't much to give up, but maybe I picked the wrong year)

[yvr girl]

109. Yikes, that sucks.

Someone mentioned earlier on the board how her daughter's friend died today. He was 16. Hi mom went to wake him up this morning and he was dead.

It sounds like things are rough for you, and I'm not minimizing them, but they could be worse.

You'll get another job. You'll find your keys. You'll wake up tomorrow.

[leftofthedial]

111. That's not the half of it, but you are right--it could be much worse

I need to get the Clapper for my frigging keys

And once I find them, then I have to remember where the hell I parked.

If it's not one thing, it's another.

[Lilith Velkor]

112. OK

No man has ever been in love with me before. I'm 36 now and still trying to accept that it's probably never gonna happen. But I can't seem to, so I get my hopes up sometimes. Last time they were dashed I tried to off myself, then went on a whirlwind tour of all the mental health/drug rehab places in the county for a several months (I made the mistake of admitting smoking pot so I wasn't allowed to talk about anything else but the 12 steps for 3 months).

Meanwhile, I still have no job and no place to live that doesn't have people yelling at me all the time.
