RikerChick

Hey, no problem.  where'd you get the bouncing shopper ball, I like that :)

Bysty used it once and I stole it. Feel free to steal it from me.

Bumping this for no other reason except that it rocks :)

Yes I call often and Cox tech support is wonderful. They always get my problem fixed and they've never laughed at me even though I'm sure they've wanted to many times. :)

Why is everyone voting Earth?!  Based on the STAR TREK movies, don't some of the other worlds seem more interresting?

To me the future earth presented in Star Trek is the most interesting. I could spend a lifetime exploring this planet when it's not all messed up like it is now.

I'm rather fond of earth

Between the talk of the 80's and needs verses wants I had to turn on some old Madonna songs. :)

*sings along* ...cause we are living in a material world and I am a material girl...

Woo hoo! Nordstroms here we come!

Oh man we took this so far off topic. Sorry jeanway :) Ok, back on topic.

Government sponsered shopping spree (The loan is via the gov) that is soo cool

Thanks to Robert's student loans the government paid for my tattoos and navel piercing. :)

£1100

How much in that in American dollars? :blink:

Woo hoo! I have a little sis! Let's go shopping sis, I need...uh...I mean want a new bikini.

LMAO! UA are you sure we're not long lost sisters? :)

quix·ot·ic ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kwk-stk) also quix·ot·i·cal (--kl)

adj.

Caught up in the romance of noble deeds and the pursuit of unreachable goals; idealistic without regard to practicality.

Capricious; impulsive: “At worst his scruples must have been quixotic, not malicious” (Louis Auchincloss).

I think what it comes down to is the fact that we buy too many "luxuries".  It gets to the point that the maintenance of the luxuries becomes a hassal.  Keep it simple stupid :)  All these cell phones, all the features, all the PDA's, all the fancy little gadgets that take forever to learn how to use, then you but a new one, and have to learn that too.  Too much hassal, and how often are these features even useful?  Do they enhance our lives or hinder them.  These wants are not needs, and they certainly aren't what we REALLY want.  I like this topic... it's good for a ramble!

*hugs super fancy picture phone with internet access* Hey it was a gift! :blink:

Ed is happy cause he's always so quixotic. :)

Do I sense a hint of anger? :)

Ktrek calmly looks at Rikerchick and screams...WHAT WOULD GIVE YOU THAT IDEA?????

 

Then he grabs the pillow and smacks her again!

 

:blink: :)

 

Ktrek

ROFL!

Oh ok, that makes more sense. I just find using Jesus name so lightly rather offensive. To me it's the name of God's son and my lord and savior. But like I said, I hold no grudge, got nothing against shadowfigment, so it's no biggie.

*throws pillow at Ktrek* Darn calm people. 

Ktrek catches the pillow and beats Rikerchick over the head with it to teach her that throwing objects isn't a good way to deal with anger. :blink:

Well, I was offended by the name but since I've never had any problems with you before I don't see any reason to hold a grudge.

I actually didn't know why people would find the name Personal Jesus offensive, I thought it meant you felt like you were jesus.

That's exactly what I found offensive.

I get my exotic insense oil out, turn out the lights, light a few candles, turn on some Enya and do some stretching.

It's all a matter of balance. I'm not a sucker for a salespitch but neither am I going to deprive myself of things I want. If I've taken care of my needs and still have some money left over you better believe I'm going to sip a caramel frappuccino and flip through Glamour magazine while my toes are being done. Why not enjoy some luxuries? As long as you make sure your families needs are put first I see nothing wrong with indulging a few wants.

*throws pillow at Ktrek* Darn calm people. Robert almost never gets angry either, don't know how he does it. When Robert does get angry though he just gets real quiet.

Bob Dylan's 115th Dream

VBG plants subliminal happy messages into the board. Shhhhh, we're not supposed to know

This is just a great community. I've been on more message boards then I could count and none compare to STF. Good people, good admin, and of course Star Trek.

I voted Wesley of course. Hate, hate, hate Wesley.

Another thing I like to do when I'm pissed is get in the car and just drive wherever with the music blaring. I was going to do that tonight since I'm in a rather fowl mood but I just went out and my car won't start. Figures. I need chocolate.
