Why are you home on a friday night?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

tell me...

[AirmensMom]

1. We always stay home.

:)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

2. i am staying home ostensibly to write a statement of purpose

but really cos its cold and rainy outside and i dont want to leave comfort of home

[AirmensMom]

3. Cold and rainy sucks!

It's warm here ... and it was sunny today.

What's the statement of purpose for?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. grad school

[AirmensMom]

7. Well ... have you started yet?

Your statement of purpose, I mean.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

38. yes started...its going

not too well...but its going

[bammertheblue]

34. I had to do those

Good luck with it. I'm sure you've gotten this advice, but a good idea can be to write one general statement and then make a few changes to it to make it specific to the school you're applying to.
Yeah, I know no one asked me. I hope you get in though. I'm in the middle of my first semester now, and my brain feels like it's going to explode, but I love it.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

35. that what i am doing

first 4 paras generic and then one differetn one depending on the school

[KitchenWitch]

95. You still have not got your statement of purpose done yet?

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Because I am somebody's mother. that and I am still recuperating.

I can't drive...I do anyway sometimes. Don't tell my dr. :hi:

[AirmensMom]

6. I won't tell.

:hi:

[WCGreen]

8. Cause I am too old and crockety to go out on friday nights...

It's Saturday afternoon dinner at the Olive Garden that get's me going...

[Left Is Write]

17. And that sounds nice. I've been craving Olive Garden or Macaroni Grill.

One of these days I'll have to give in to the craving.

[WCGreen]

20. That Macaroni Grill has some good food....

But it is noisy and they sing at you.....

I find that creepy, having strangers sing to you in a restaurant...

[Left Is Write]

23. I have never had the (dis)pleasure of being sung to there...

but I do like the Jug O'Chianti.

[WCGreen]

26. They sing opera songs at the one over to the Mall....

They start a hoopin' and a hollerin' like they was at the metropolitan Oprey House.....

[xmas74]

9. Just got home from one of my two jobs.

I go back in at 5 am.

[AirmensMom]

18. Well, now, ain't that somethin' uniquely 'murkin?

Werkin' two jobs, I mean? Din't bush* say that to someone? Like it's a good thing that you have to be werkin' hard all the time to make ends meet?

OK, I can't talk bush*-ish anymore. Glad you're home! :hi:

[xmas74]

22. Thanks.

Both are on the low-paying side. One is for the insurance that will kick in sometime around January and the other is for additional bill paying. Neither is in the field I'm trained in.
And the asshole said that about three jobs.

[AirmensMom]

25. Yeah, I remember that ...

but I figured you were tired and I sure wasn't going to be the one to tell you that you'd be REALLY lucky if you were working three jobs. What an asshole! My daughter can't find a job in her field, either (the not-A/F daughter). It's really hard these days. I'm glad you can at least get insurance ... but I don't get why it'll take until January to kick in.

I hope you can get some rest! :hug:

[xmas74]

27. Because I was fired from my last job

(worked there for almost 2 years) and downsized from the other job(department cuts) I had to find two new jobs. I just picked up this job a month or so ago and now have to wait for the insurance to kick in.
I'll be lucky if I make 20 grand this year.

[AirmensMom]

32. Wow, you've had it rough!

Seems like a lot of people on DU are having a hard time of it. I'm sorry. :(

We're making a lot less than we were when I was working (I'm disabled now), but we do OK. It would be a lot harder if the kids were still home. If my husband gets laid off, we're seriously sunk. I think most people are that close to disaster.

I really hope things look up for you! What's your dream job?

[xmas74]

58. I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher(that's what I'm trained for)

but more and more I'm seriously considering being a mortician. The school is a long drive and I'm afraid that I don't have the money right now.

[AirmensMom]

94. Those are both very interesting!

I hope you get a chance to pursue it. :hi:

[xmas74]

96. I'd like to someday, maybe when my child is older.

I have a fascination w/ death and dying-I'm quirky like that.

[WCGreen]

39. Sorry to hear that Xmas....

I never had to work two jobs...

But I did have to work full time at one and then I was involved way to much in the community... It was like having two jobs...

It just tires you out....

[xmas74]

61. I've always worked two jobs.

Even when I was a college student I worked two jobs. Before I had my daughter I worked three (I had a lazy bum at home to support).

[WCGreen]

68. Sometimes during Tax Time....

I would work eighty hours a week....

But I saw light at the end of the tunnel... I knew the hectic pace would stop....

That is just so hard on you....

[xmas74]

70. It can be.

I thought about taking the local tax course for an extra income but didn't know when I'd be able to get to class.

[WCGreen]

74. Taxes aren;t hard to do...

As a matter of fact, the accounting firm I worked for told me to take the H&R Block class...

They recommended it to all the new accountants coming on board to get to know how to do them, not just why things are the way they are like they teach at a regular college....

[xmas74]

84. I do my own taxes at home.

And the H&R course is the one I was referring to. Might be nice to have a little bit of extra income.

[WCGreen]

89. Yea, you only need to register with the IRS if you

get involved with EFiling....

It is a great way to make extra money....

And help people Too!!!!

[xmas74]

98. I've really thought about it

but I missed the classes this year. Maybe next fall.

[bridgit]

10. blew out the jams last night...

tonight is recuperative :D

[Maestro]

11. I have no life.

Nor friends. Just family.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

40. hey...me too

well i have friends but they are very far away

[Aristus]

12. Me and the wife are babysitting my grandson.

Ahhh, the glamorous life of the wedded couple. B-)

[TroubleMan]

13. Married with 2 kids, one on the way, have to work tomorrow

The real question is why is lionesspriyanka, a young beautiful single woman, home on a Friday night?

[BeFree]

14. Another Friday night...

And I ain't got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid.
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

(He's in an awful)

I'm in an awful way.

=====================
And JA just dumped me!

[Left Is Write]

15. I have two small children. I am recovering from a nasty sinus infection.

My husband is tired. My babysitter is at an Alien Ant Farm concert with her new boy (my babysitter also happens to be my other child).

The two small children are in bed. Later, the tired hubby and I will snuggle up and watch Iron Chef before heading off to dreamland.

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. I ain't got nobody

that I can depend on
(no tengo anadie)

:rofl: (Until I just now looked the Santana lyrics up, I always thought "no tengo anadie" was "Don't think I'm Lying!") :rofl:

[Tafiti]

19. Because...

...there's jack shit to do in this piece of shit town.

That's why.

Oh, and I'm poor, so that doesn't help either.

[flvegan]

21. I'm an ugly, lame moran.

At least I recognize...

Okay, actually, it's because I'm single, and I run a rescue and I need to take care of my 13 dogs.

[Left Is Write]

24. OH MY STARS AND GARLIC.

You are so far from ugly it ought to be illegal just to SAY you are, even in jest!

(I didn't know you ran a rescue. Chuck that admiration up one more notch, will you?)

[flvegan]

28. I'm sorry, but I just don't know how much

I can trust the judgment on my appearance from someone that calls herself "an old woman" yet redefines "smoking hottie" at the same time.

Call me old-fashioned...

[Left Is Write]

29. Well....

at 39, I am old to the young kids whose opinions I was soliciting. :D

"Old" in the grand scheme of things? Nah, I suppose not.

[flvegan]

31. *ahem*

At 39, you've passed a number of years that might make you think as such.

But, at 39...whoa.

*fans self*

39 never looked SO good.

[Left Is Write]

36. ....

:blush:

You've left me speechless.

[flvegan]

44. ...

Why? Did I tell you something new? You DO have a mirror, right?

Mmmm...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

37. love you are anything but ugly

[flvegan]

41. Anything? Okay...

grotesque.

It's a cool word, too.

Double word score in Scrabble, I bet.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

42. ok i know when someone is fishing

i do that all the time...

you are hot..you know it ...i know it..all of du knows it :P

[flvegan]

Nope.

Not fishing. I don't know it, and I seriously doubt any small segment of DU knows it.

And you can fish all you want. You'll always catch something, what with those pictures.

Wow.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

48. its been indicated that i post too many pics

so no more from moi...

and just for the record look at your responses...you are hot...and a lot of du'ers recognize it

[flvegan]

54. My DU experience is ruined.

No more pics from you?

I...I...don't know what to do...

Thanks for the compliment though.

I need to go think about this...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

55. think?

[flvegan]

56. You caught me.

I'm actually going to go gather all your pics and save them to my

"hard"

drive.

I kill me.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

60. ha ha!

you can always ask me for more... :P

[flvegan]

64. How should I do that?

Should I just make a request?

Or should I get on my knees...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

67. formal request will be honored

:P

knees are good too

take your pick

[flvegan]

77. You are a very fair woman.

I'll just get on my knees and hope for the...best.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

78. well you have to do it publicy

since umm ...well since i said so !

[flvegan]

80. Well...

if publicly is what you want...

Let me go get a towel so I don't chafe my knees, okay?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

81. you do that

:P

[flvegan]

83. Now that I'm on my knees...

What do you say I (censored)

[Roon]

30. My lover and I never go out

he works very hard and prefers to spend his free time at home on his computer.

[Lisa]

33. because I am cooking myself a nice dinner, for the first time in weeks

Because of a mixup at Payroll, and my donations to hurricane relief last month, I ended up with a major cash shortfall and have been living on the meagre remains of my pantry since last month. I finally got my paycheck today, and went out and got the stuff I'd been missing -- fresh fruit, fresh bread instead of the cheaper day-old stuff, etc. -- and I've got a chicken roasting in the oven.

[eyepaddle]

43. Justr got back from a five hour paddling trip

(The whole day was more than twelve hours long)
so basically I alreadly feel like I've done enough and I'm just plain tired!

[Ksec]

45. Well , because its what I do

Being a married man with a couple kids Friday nights aint what they used to be. We still go out to eat , but the clubbing days are long gone. Went to a high school football game earlier. That was my big thing. Wifey has always been an early to bed girl, I mean really early. Like 8- 830. So I go down to my basement workshop and putter or get online, and shoot the breeze with you folks. Most nights are like this.

[intheflow]

46. I'm not home.

I'm house-sitting! :evilgrin:

[usedtobesick]

51. So that is where my SO is...

hey beautiful

[Ksec]

57. Is your house behaving?

Or is it a naughty little house ....

[intheflow]

90. House behaving well.

It's the cat that's misbehaving! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x4155171

[usedtobesick]

47. actually in Seattle again... stuck in another hotel

I really get tired of the travel at the end of the week. All "partied" out. Really just wish I was home in CO with my SO.

[intheflow]

59. I'll bet you're all partied out,

hanging with Bob! LOL! At least it sounds as though you escaped actually staying at his house.

[usedtobesick]

72. damn this is just too creepy...

[Redstone]

49. Are you kidding? It's raining buckets out there!

It's dry in the house.

Redstone

[La Lioness Priyanka]

53. here too!

[Redstone]

62. And everywhere, it seems. Welcome to the Monsoons.

Redstone

[usedtobesick]

79. except Seattle, strangely enough

[La Lioness Priyanka]

91. and sf..which is also dry

[Redstone]

92. Damn. The Apocalypse MUST be nigh.

Rain everywhere BUT Seattle...

Redstone

[tarkus]

50. I am not in fact at home...

I am near Dahlonega, in north Georgia. If you didn't think someone living in Kentucky could call an area redneck... think again. This place is crazy.

[William Bloode]

52. Because my women won't let me leave.

I knocked them out with some high grade indica, or in the process of. When the die out for the evening i might take a midnight ride, for shits and giggles.

[distantearlywarning]

63. Because I am a boring and sad person

with nothing better to do.

I was just thinking tonight that I need to do something to improve my life. I used to be interesting and fun and cute. There was once a time when I never let a Friday go by without getting dressed up in something sexy and hitting the clubs or a party. And now I am boring, unmotivated, stressed out, need to lose 20 lbs, and am cranky most of the time. That's just really damn sad. I don't know what happened to my youth, but I really miss it. :cry:

[Ksec]

66. Welcome to middle age

And I know exactly how you feel.

Ruts . The best way to get out of a rut is to go on a diet, lose some weight and start walking or excersizing. It helps for sure. Gotta get that self confidence back up ...

[ghostsofgiants]

65. When my roommate went out, I was planning to go out with him...

But I was way too tired. I was so tired that light made my eyes tear up. So I took a nap instead.

[BreweryYardRat]

69. Because I have a cold.

X(

[sleipnir]

71. After my conviction, I can't leave after sundown.

Or they have Martha Stewart come over and fashion me a nice, decoupage ankle monitor. Aren't they so helpful?

[FarLeftRage]

73. Not at home but at work...

for at least another hour.

[Scoots]

75. Very poor, and 500 miles from my closest friends.

I know, I know. I can hear the world's smallest violins....

[La Lioness Priyanka]

76. me too

:hug:

[Scoots]

82. Even if I could afford to go out...

To paraprase Bill Hicks:

Once a year I go to a dance club, just to justify the other 364 days a year I stay home.

[RevCheesehead]

85. I have no life..

at least, not one I can call my own. Between work and care for elderly parents, when I have time off, I sleep or post on DU.

[NNadir]

86. I'm tired as hell. I worked some long hours this week.

Nothing better than being home with the wife and kids, but they're sleeping now. I'm just unwinding and blowing off some steam.

[Jamastiene]

87. I live in a small town full of people that would make the Puritans

look like party animals. I certainly don't want to hang out with that bunch. A funeral would be more fun and funerals aren't fun for me. They are sad. They are certainly less depressing than listening to a bunch of right wing nuts, so I stay home and make Friday nights my DU indulgence nights. Also, I watch Numb3ers. As much as I love math, I am not as good at it as most people.

[LSK]

88. to watch the White Sox beat the Angels

And besides, my home is a nice place to be.

[alpaca]

93. Because

I have already spent my youth going out. Now, work all day with family at home to take care of. As odd as it sounds; doesn't bother me. The going out part that is. Nice to be at home, all my stuff is here.

[Ladyhawk]

97. Same reason I'll be home tonight. :) n/t
