Is it a Tale?
by nowmercy
I grew up surrounded by “old wives tales”. For example, if you swim after eating you will drown, stretch marks can open and you will bleed to death, you die for the moment you sneeze, and so on. Now I know they come from some kind of wisdom, but they did stick with me. What about you all? What old tales still come to you? Are you passing any on? What are the most absurd? What make the most sense? And while we are at it, how about superstitions? (I can see Whabby shaking his head, no really, I SEE you Whabby lol) I still grab a button going past a cemetery and knock wood to ward off something reoccurring.
Come on, think about it..I’ll bet the nest is a veritable treasure chest of tales and superstitions.
I can hardly wait to hear them all!

Jax got it......
Nowmercy - your chickens have brought back BAD memories from my childhood - CHICKEN COOPS!!! AAGGHH.....
My dad's mom used to make us collect eggs and chickens just do NOT want you to take them away!!
Gotta Go!!!!!!! Sorry kids... duty calls
If I don't fall asleep for a long time with dd I'll be back
OH SORRY MEK..our girls are very domestic and polite and don't care about the eggs going away. They do care a great deal about cucumbers though..so once they get a slice we can't go near them. Sorry bout your memories..ours just want to get petted and follow dd around like she is the mother hen.
I'm back for a minute. Just taking a rest from building my new little home. called my space.
Hey, Jax....you've got mail!
Mek~~did you finish your cards or will you be telling the girls your dog ate them?
Ronnie

They are talkin' dirty and sharing dirty pictures about thongs.
Ronnie
Good evening, cpgem!!
Nowmercy - glad your "girls" are tamed - goodness - chickens just scare the shit out of me!!!
Ronnie - NO, I didn't get the tags made - I'm thinking of just bypassing the crop !! :-) isn't that terrible...
Whabby - LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
crossing fingers this posts - I keep getting the FOAD monster!! I wonder what it looks like!!!
cpgem - you have it all just about summarized!!! good job..
but I opted for a nap instead of being crafty!!
ronnie Where are the dirty pictures?
mek Yea I agree fuck it!
MEK What is a tag?
Gotta go back and work on my page.
BBL.
Ronnie
Carol It's a comment Bon sent me earlier today. I used it briefly as an avatar on the previous page so ronniegirl could see it.
Well...for dirty picture, you might want to check just-lin's avatar. She was nice enough to share an unusual thong picture. lol
Gotta go
My husband just got home, so, I'll be back in a few. Gotta check my mail first, the man will have to wait a minute.;-)
jax You are a winner, and since its your first march and its Thong Thursday, You win a Thong!
And thongs are easy access so you can pee whenever and wherever you want!
How fun is that!
Lust_lin...that's your new name!
And a right nice picture it was too...thanks.
Ronnie
Just Lin - I am supposed to make 12 tags to swap with others at a scrapbooking crop (where people get together to craft) - the tags are supposed to be 5 1/2 by 3 inches - but never a TO or FROM on it.. we are supposed to be able to use them on a scrapbook page in the future - or on a gift if you want..... I'm not sure that I have fully explained it - but we make tags to swap instead of cards... it's just an activity to get everyone involved with each other.
ronnie LMAO @ Lust_Lin
I win a thong?! Yippee!!! Can I ask that it is not BeDazzled? Yeouch!
I think staying home and waiting for a certain turtle to call will be MUCH more FUN!!!
jax - all prizes are final - no exchanges or refunds!!! LOL
The man is giving me the evil eye. Does that happen to anyone else? hey, it wasn't me that was gone all night.....
MEK Are tags decorative only or do they have blank space on them so you can journal or describe a photo or page.
MEK-
Ok, ok, I'll take it...and be thankful...wheter it's a pulling on the tender ( but, groomed)private parts, or not! LOL! You ladies are tough!
Hey!
It's taken me forever to read the comments.
Hi MEK! I think you will be second behind Whabby in meeting blog buddies!
Ronnie be sure to send me a friend invite when you get Myspace set up! Woohoo glad you did it.
It took me months to finally make on but I'm so glad I did. It's lots of fun!
We're patiently waiting for Survivor to come on. We are still unhappy that Yoaman got sent home last week.
Zona did you see the link I sent you? I sent it to Joey, he LOVED it! hahahaha.
Jax - your man will have to learn that the nest sometimes comes first - Mr. MEK knows everyone's name!! :-)
MEK-
LMAO!!!! I love your man, and I don't even know him!
Just Lin - some leave places for journaling and others don't - I try to so that they can be used on a layout later..
EBJ - I am working on other blog buddy meetings - SO, I may have Whabby beaten by tomorrow!!! :-)
YEAH - I was 450!!!
Does 450 come with a prize too? LOL!
Mr. EBJ will hear me giggling while I'm reading the nest comments, he says "ARE YOU READING THE BLOG AGAIN". It's so funny.
jax You can't be picky now, there is just so much we can do in finding a thong with no "jewels"
:O)
I have to talk to him and hear about his hoity toity dinner.....BB soon!
mek And your prize my friend for being 450 is a big ole hug from me!!!!
()
Gee thats kinda small!!!!
EBJ - I hadn't heard who went home last week - BUMMER - see - I missed the first two weeks so decided NOT to be involved...
cpgem8
LOL! jewels are fine.....they get smoothed down after time!
cpgem - that is the BEST PRIZE EVER.... thank you SO much -
jax
lol....
MEK_
Wanna trade? A hug seems much less painful.
I really have to go for a bit....stop, I can't leave!
EBJ - aren't our hubbys great!! mr. mek will even say WHAT, every once in awhile.. when I am laughing out loud!!! They want to be a part of it all!!!
Jax - no thanks - i will keep my hug - I don't "do thongs"... sorry...
Jax - now, go pay attention to the hubby - so that you can come back here soon...
MEK! Who besides Turtle are you going to meet??
EBJ - I can't tell!! LOL
Have we heard from Diane dear since she met with Whab last night???
No, we haven't - and she had the camera!!!
mek I sent you a better hug via myspace!
MEK You almost make me want to get my scrapbooking stuff out.
Cpgem - THANK YOU!!! got it.. LOVE it...
Just Lin - Just DO IT!!! maybe you can fax me a tag!!! LOL
I'm watching Princess Diaries for the gazillon time...
I should have had Whabby drive me up and down all these streets in San Francisco!!
:-)
All I have left to do is pick my URL. Frankly, I didn't know I had one that needs picking.
I'm new at this stuff, what the hell am I picking?
Does this have anything to do with a thong or custard?..LOL
Ronnie - my URL is
mek75
that is my initials and the year I graduated from high school...
You can make it anything you want.
so, now - you can find me on myspace!!
Thanks Mek.
Will that be the name across the picture? Or for logging in purposes?
My name across my picture is just
MEK and right now, my pic is of Torrey Pines golf course..
www.myspace.com/mek75
is how you can find my page..
Your sign in will be your email address and your password.
Oh..got ya.
Thanks, Mek.
I have it set to private - but you can still message me or request an add for a friend.. after we become friends, then you can see my page, my pics, etc......
oh, and people that are my friends - then you can click on their pics and request them as friends as well.......
Most people use their Name above their pic as the name that they use in the nest - so it will be easy to know WHO is a nester or not!!!
hope all this helps..
Trust me - if you let US know what your URL is - we WILL find you!!
LOL - cpgem - I know how you feel about talking to yourself!!!
I have a feeling that everyone will be coming out of the woods VERY soon!!!
:-)

Back to watch A.I. and catch up. YAY, Ronnie...sounds like you're almost there!
MEK~~You remind me of me when I had major projects or even theses in school; always worked best under pressure. When do you expect to hear from the turtle?
SO, cpgem - what happened to you??!!!
mek
I did forget to cover my face with a face mask and now I have a black eye!
Geez when you stomp you really stomp!
Happy Dance,Happy Dance
Clap, Clap, Clap
Congrats on 500 mek!!!!
OH - I didn't see Bono out there...
She hopes to leave CA around 9 - it's a 7 1/2 hour drive to Tucson - but she is hoping to meet up with Zona in Phoenix before heading south- so I would say early to mid evening... (Crossing fingers that everything works out) - there is a huge stretch of I-10 that I will be able to meet her on..
I must say, I look kinda cute with a black eye. :O)
cpgem - I am going to have to send that HUG right back to YOU!!!
Bono - Yes, I do my best work under pressure...
OMG! LOST was great tonight! Probably the best I've seen since the series started!
MEK: My neighbor liked my card! Course she was on her fourth beer. But I'll take any encouragement I can get!
oh and for those who care.
LA INK has been moved to Thursday nights now...
so I am trying to stay awake for that..
Zona - lol at 4th beer...
Congrats JAX on 400 and MEK on 5frickin'hundred!!!
Did RGirl set up her Myspace yet? I haven't caught up..
Thnks, Mek...hope y'all have a blast!
Bono - I told turtle that even if I just met them for their quick pottie break at McDonald's that would be alright with me!! LOL
Hey, I was dealing with some dirty dishes and some dirty birds went on a march! LOL Congrats MEK. Aren't you supposed to be making tags or something? Hey, what about those snap/tie things that they have on the legs of chaps to keep them on their legs? You could make something like that on the end of the card, star design on it, couple of pieces of "leather" tie sticking out from it?
OMG 500+ comments!!
ANY person-to-person real-life contact with a BB is a good thing. Hope Zona has a fun meet n' greet, too!
SHHHH!! No LOST spoilers please! :)
test
I think the show has finished airing all time zones. If not I have a trash can.
Dreama - I think it is still on on the West Coast!!
BonO I meant to tell you last night to contact Corundogs. She knows about service dogs.
Ooops!
MEK: LOL about chickens scaring the shit out of you.. they creep out one of my daughter's friends because they stare and cluck and follow her around. AND, the REALLY scare the hell out of any cat that is silly enough to go back there after them. I have had to rescue many a cat from the chicken run with the girls corning, raising dust and volume.
Does is help to know my dd raised them by rocking them in a rocking chair and reading to them while they were chicks? Now that was a sight.
Thanks, Dreama...I thought about her right away, too. I've sent her a few "how ARE you"s the last couple months on MySpace but heard nothing back, so didn't want to be a bother.
Ooh, teary moment on A.I just now. I'm such a softy!
Bono - I agree with Jodi earlier - i was fine with all the results tonight!!
Nowmercy - I could not imagine rocking a chick to sleep... OH and being a city girl - we had NEVER seen brown eggs!!
aaaHA...you all are talking about the show called American Idol.. right? This is like solving suduko's a'la media since I don't do much tv stuff.. fun.
nowmercy - you are TOO cute!!! I can't do those sukudo puzzles. - too hard for me - but give me a word search puzzle and I'm there!!
MEK..it is kind of a word puzzle.. the closest I get to suduko type stuff is remembering 2 bulk code numbers in my head at my health food store, instead of writing them down. People must think I'm strange muttering 523, 217 over and over down the isle...lol
MY GOODNESS - we have had FOUR murders in a 24 hour period - WTF is going on??!!
MEK: The state???
MEK that sounds scary..and that is a lot of family grief going on right now...ouch
No, Zona - TUCSON!!!!!!!
Hi Zona
all separate incidents..
MEK/JODI~~I, too, am okay with the AI results. I was right on one guy and one gal. Hopefully, my other two least faves will go next week. Hint: I was hoping to go from 3 Davids on the show down to two :o)
Wow Mek..just on city? Gangs?
I don't think I could watch a show where so many folks loose.. I'd run out of kleenx
Bono - to tell you how that "third" David impressed me - I thought there were ONLY two David's!! LOL
I don't know the details of these murders - two have been in bad parts of town..... so, I would assume gang!!
Oh and our high temp today was 84 - right now it's 67!! at 10pm..
OMG...It's done. I have a new home on the darkside. I have no idea how to request anyone as a friend, you have to do me. Mo and Jax requested me, so if you have them on myspace, you might go throuh them. It's empty and it reminds me of my first apartment years ago with a card table with 2 folding chairs, a beat-up old sofa and a little black and white television. Pitiful looking.
There is a picture of the meanest looking little red haired girl with really bad eyes that keeps staring at me in my new place. (Are we having fun yet, Ronnie?)
On the lighter side, I have two crushes....lucky me. Hope one of them is not that Tom guy.
Just updating you for you evening's enjoyment. This and Survivor too..how good can it get. LOL
Ronnie
NOWMERCY: HI! I was going to tell you what kind of word puzzle I liked, but I couldn't spell it!!
MEK: That happens up here, but I hardly ever here about it where you are. Scary!
Not good--4 homicides? We're in the middle of a serial arsonist scare here. Residences on corner lots within a 2-mile radius across town. Hmmm, I'm on a corner lot.
Yay Ronnie gal...
ZONA: lol spelling
MEK: lock your doors, huh.. sad for your town.
Ronnie - they both have their friends hidden...
did you share your URL somewhere?
Ronnie~ oh honey....i wanna do you~ :)~
no.
let me ask one of them to email you..K?
*\0/* YAY for Ronnie!!!! We'll all come find you. Won't take this crew long to decorate that funky little apartment for you! We'll have a housewarming when you're ready.
N/M~~I don't get all that into AI. I just like the final countdown. You have to think of it like any other competition or sport. There can only be one winner. Good thing about AI, though, is any that make the final 20 have a far better chance at a career than they would have without the exposure.
I am south of Tucson - but it's getting to the point where we have a murder a day - mainly involving hispanics - TOO MANY BORDER CROSSINGS!!!!!!!!
550
Tina will smoke Ronnie out!! GO GET HER!!!!!!!!
Tina~~ :o) saw your post & thought, hmmm we must be approaching a milestone # (it was at 548) Congrats!
Ronnie - did Jodi find you before she went to bed?? or do you just have TWO friends and TOM right now..
Tina gets those bedazzled thongs that Jax didn't want!! LOL
congrats on 550...
Mek~~
I emailed Jax on myspace and asked her to email you with information. She's good about taking care of bid-ness.
Ronnie
I can accept, just not request for now.
mek~ oh my hemorrhoid~ ouch!!! :)~
Mek~
2 friends and Tom and that butt ugly little red haired girl.
This news is depressing..
a five year old boy on an indian reservation shot himself and died.
a two year old wandered into a neighbors backyard and drown..
GEEZ - I need to switch back to the movie!!
who is the ugly red head girl?? am I missing a joke!!
I thought Tom was a stalker - BOOM, he just showed up -
ronnie....who are your friends?
ronnie I can't find you. Are you ronniegirl on myspace?
Tina - I'll spring for the "donut" hope that makes you feel better
I don't know who that kid is. But she is one ugly child. She's not a friend, just a lurker who keeps looking at me.
apparently not - cuz I only find THREE ronniegirl's and they are NOT her...
Mo and JAX have their friends hidden - so we can't get her that way!! She is REALLY hiding from us....
RGIRL: You mean the ad?? Wait til you see TINA's favorite one..the countdown..
mek....lol....it's the jewel...it's stuck! :)~
mek....lol....it's the jewel...it's stuck! :)~
TINA: Does Mr. Tina have a pickax? he may have to 'mine' you...
wow....that must mean it's really stuck~ :)~
zona~ i've never heard it called that before! but i'm up for anything tonight~ :)~
btw....I'm thinking that I need to watch the last two weeks of Lost~ yikes, I'm behind!!! :)~
Ronnie - you have a friend request!!! :-)
ronnie Come out, come out, wherever you are.....
Tina decorated my page, she's really good at it. :)
MEK Did you find Ronnie? Where is she?
TINA: Betcha he is too!!
I'm here, just_lin
BRB...gotta go accept mek
Ronnie
Yipeeeeeee
ronnie I can't find you on myspace.
Just Lin, Nowmercy, Tina and Zona - I just sent you Ronnie's URL...
ronnie Okay, got ya.
AND, if Ronnie accepts me - she will be REALLY easy to find by everyone!!!
Just go to NEW in my friends and we'll ALL be able to find her...
AND - Ronnie - are you going to set your page to private??!!
Thank you Mek and Tina.
I now have four friends, and Tom and one ugly red haired little girl.
Ronnie
RONNIE: The ugly red haired girl is just a pop-up..she won't hurt you. ;)
Oh Ronnie....delete Tom~ ((whispering)) he's not very good! :)~
RONNIE: Tina knows...;)
Mek~
I want some kind of security, so i think i should set it to private. But that means ya'll can still get in there , right?
There is no indication on there that I'm male or female or any other personal stuff.
ronnie
How do i set it to private...where's the button?
Tina~
I'll delete Tom, besides I heard he hits on all the girls just as soon as they get a page.
Ronnie
Ronnie~ it's a private button~ :)~
go to edit profile
click on account settings on the right hand side
click on privacy~
RONNIE: I think it's in account settings under Privacy...not sure though..
Ronnie~ he does...he's a man ho~ and not good at all~ I'd even take Hugh Grant over that guy.....hey...did I just say that out loud? :)~
If I'm set to private, and you're a friend, can you still get in there?
Ronnie
Ronnie - the private thing is under your settings......
and YES, if people are your friend then they can see - others can request you because that comes up even though it's private..
you can click on any of my friends and then click on the REQUEST or ADD and then they can accept you as their friend..
I'm going to miss the march..
RONNIE: Tina knows...
Me, sleepy me
ronnie~ if you set it to Profile viewable by my friends only~
Me, sleepy me
Me, sleepy me
Hey all....
Ronnie you have another friend Request!!!!

Ronnie
Tom is fine....
