Reply to Well.. Kinda silly but strange problem. in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

tendonitis? Lack of sleep? Dehydration? Lack of potassium? Inadequate diet? Lack of exercise? Repetitive movement? Crappy posture? Who knows! Have you have already addressed these issues bt the problem interferes with your quality of life then go see a doctor. If you aren't sure what it is, go see a doctor to get some peace of mind. Do you really want to be saying to yourself, "if only I had seen a doctor earlier"? Personally, I would

Reply to If you were the perfect person, what would you be like? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I totally agree with you that one can never achieve perfection. So why do I feel guilty? I have no idea. Yet, I when I meet someone who is a top univeristy grad, violinist, yoga teacher, multilingual I totally admire them yet I think to myself, I am as talented so how come I'm not like that? By the way, that person really exists. She is a total sweetie, too.

If you were the perfect person, what would you be like? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I was just thinking, "if only I could be..." then it hit me. Be what? More disciplined. Not a procrastinator. More certain about what I want to do in my life. Yet, someone told me last year that I set the bar pretty high for myself. Okay. So that means? What? I don't think that I'm a bad person and I have a lot of good qualities. I think it comes do

Reply to go play soccer or sit here and pretend to write my book? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Thanks. Friends have said it was interesting. My mom and aunt (from small town Saskatchewan) said that I was way off on the small town being a gossip mill thing, though. I think they have glorified the experience somewhat.

I'm impressed, too. I must be lower than a Noob because I was a bit bewildered, but still impressed. My fault, definately not Martin's.

A rant about the unexpected effects of terrorism in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I swear to god, that the rise in terrorism in the world is giving people the excuse to do nothing that they have been looking for. Got a pesky problem you don't want to deal with anymore? Eradicate iyour problem by blaming terrorism. For example, there are no longer any garbage cans around the local train stations here. Why? Terrorism. Or so they say. Shinjuku

go play soccer or sit here and pretend to write my book? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

If I'm going to be be on time for soccer, I should probably leave now. Thanks god for soccer socks which are long and that means that I don't have to worry about shaving my legs. Then again my team-mates couldn't care less I'm sure. I could whip through dishes and be out the door by 7:30. I feel sick though because the post-office called me and asked me questions

not your gradma's incense in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I like incense. Maybe not the cloying stuff sold back home, and not the particulary the stuff burned at the shrines or in front of family shrines or in old ladies' houses. Usually, if I mention incense, one of my Japanese friends pulls a face and mentions that they don't really like it becaus it smells like an old lady's house. Yesterday friend introduced me to

Reply to Fall Family Photos in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Cute kids and nice photos. I assume that the adult in the photo is you. If so, the weird thing is discovering that you look almost exactly like I imagined you would by reading your posts! This is not meant as a negative or positive. As I read peoples' posts, an image of what they look like forms in my mind. Sometimes I am spot on and sometimes way off. Well, now I will be looking forward to cute Christmas pics as well. Have a good holida

A new possible job for me? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

My husband has always encouraged my writing and my drawing. This is nice as I love to do it. Unfortunately, it doesn't pay any bills. Again, after that infernal exam, I am going to start back at this idea I had-- designing cards. I think it might be fun to sit out on a street and see if anyone will buy what I sell. At the very worst, I should get a pretty decent

Floozie, Hold out your plate and I'll transfer all the motivation I can! TIt's like that magic soup pot. The more you share, the more you have! At least that's how it feels right now! Wow, I wonder if I can manage to squeeze in one more exclamation point?

I finally registered for my first writers' conference! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Think about it, think about it, think about it. That's usually what I end up doing. This time I am doing something about it! I signed up for that conference and I am going! I'm going to get my manuscript finished and bring that with me! I am totally psyched about getting a chance to work with other people about writing. Now I just have to save money so I

Long time, no blog. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I finally got internet at home! Yay! After all the hassle of finding a provider and getting a connection without shelling out the 80 000 yen or so it costs to get a phone line, after all the waiting and missed appointments for installation, I finally have internet. It is really nice to be able to sit at home instead of some smokey internet cafe and getting force-fe

Reply to Why do people have secret on-line relationships? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

"Wagga Wagga and bad body odour issues" I love that description! What's even scarier is that you can "meet" people sites on cell-phone web services and get a quick text-mail fix. Anytime. anywhere portable mystery friend.

Why do people have secret on-line relationships? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Weigh in if you want. This is regarding people who are supposed to be in relationships already. If you're single, then have at 'er. I couldn't care less. but... I think people have secret on-line relationships because they are selfish uncaring bastards (or bitches). Sorry, I don't care what kind of crap is going on in their lives. If they have to
