welcome to the Lily Pad!

The Lily Pad -- where dreams become reality, and reality becomes, well, a dream...

04/07/03 allow me to start off with: i hate being sick...i hate hospitals...doctors suck...nurse ratchett (let's see - does anyone remember the flick this nasty nurse was in?) lives and works in the main hospital of my hometown...needles ? just let me die, thanks... dunno what hit me, but it left me with a fever of 103.5+ for days, a whopping u.t.i., a viral infection, a sinus infection, bronchial pneumonia and a migraine that would've laid Godzilla flat on his radioactive arse...consequently, i'm on lots of nasty, ill-tasting, melt-in-your-mouth badness that takes two full glasses of cranberry juice (not the good cranapple, the really foul cranberry cocktail) to get rid of... once i can focus again, i'll be working on getting some poems typed and my eldest wants me to digitize some of her drawings and comics...anyone want to buy me the 4k$ digitizer ? mwahahahahaha love each other - and huggle someone today ! ::huggles:: :)... the lost froggie

12/04/02 well - this'll teach me to forget my password, the zip code i signed up with AND cancel my old e-mail address without thinking...holy crumb...so many changes...Miss Jean has since passed on, October of this year.../mourn...my girls are teenagers (well ok - ONE of them is, the other is pre-teen) - - - may whatevre gods are present have mercy on me...or maybe them...i haven't decided yet... the majority of my time lately has been spent on another site (no, i'm NOT a traitor, i just got busy and sidetracked)...it's an EverQuest website for my guild, and you can view the site at Sacrosanct Legion... i found out my midi files were causing a huge lockup-problem on the main pages - which prompted me to figure out where i was living when i set this site up originally, and attempt to fix things...i've removed all the play-midi links, but the tunes can still be downloaded...i hate Quicktime, unless it's quicktime march ((as I'm bobbing my head up and down))... ::huggles:: :)... the lost froggie

04/09/01 wow - well - quite a lot has happened - took a vacation to New Orleans/Mississippi (pronounced N'orlins and Missip) - saw my sister, who i've not seen in 23 years - talk about an emotional roller coaster...got to see a woman who helped change my diapers and raise me as a kid - she's not goin' to be with us much longer, i fear...so... Miss Jean - you will always be in my thots and prayers...you did much for me when i was a child...you who my mom counted as best friend, who always had a hug, a shoulder, and an ear when it was needed...i love you, Miss Jean... i corrected a few mistakes - fixed a dead page...lil stuff... ::huggles:: :)... the lost froggie

'tween my jobs, the rare occasion of sleepin' and the recent move (I GOT A HOUSE!!!), it's been a busy month :)...but for those of you who lean toward the eccentric and enjoy the bizarre, i've made a few updates :)... check out the newly updated Giggles of the Lost Froggie page with a new insight to what I've Learned... may you have the most wonderful of holidays !!! the lost froggie

10/16/98... i truly don't know what possessed me, but my mind went motorvatin' down Memory Lane last week...this page would have been up already, save for the fact that i was tired and wanted to get the hell out of the office, or i'd have uploaded it then...so here i am, back at the office, and here's the page :)...is quite interestin'...some fond memories, some fads that scared me, and a few surprises as well :)...

07/10/98... y'know...i ask myself "Self" (and yes, i do phrase it that way sometimes), "Self", i say, "Why is it that we have children ? Have we not learned from our parents' mistakes and the mistakes of the parents of our friends ? Do we learn nothin' from generation to generation ? i don't truly believe we do, for, if we did, we as a species would realize that while *recreation* is a good idea, sometimes *procreation* is not...let's face it, there are some peeps who just should NOT be in the gene pool, ok ?...admit it, you know at least one or two of them...just think for a minute, and their names will come to you...so, i ask myself, Why do we continue this downward spiral ? Why not simply nip and tuck where it's needed and go from there ? it would effectively eliminate a lot of the useless waste and dead weight...However, the moralists argue, it's not humane, it's barbaric, it's *immoral*...would you like to know what i say to that ??? eh ? thot not...those of you who *truly* know me need no explanation :)...

and the Ptyrtl's thots on Role Models is especially refreshin'...

06/30/98... sometimes i sit and wonder, why do we continue ?...why do we keep trying ?...what is it that makes us sally forth to meet each new day, rather than turn over, throw the covers over our heads, and groan audibly that the world can just go to hell ?...i know i, for one, have wanted to do just that (ignore the world, and hope it goes away) many times...but for some odd reason, i still get up, stare the day straight in the face, and beg for a strait-jacket...i know you're laughin'...i can tell :)...but it's ok :)...i don't really mind...rather you should laugh than cry, y'know ?...but answer me this...if you can...WHY, just perzactly WHY, do we not just chuck everythin' to the dempsey-dumpsters and start over ?...is there some drivin' force ?...kismet ?...destiny...the fact that if we don't, we curl up and die ?...and just how do we make the rational decision that we DON'T want to curl up and die ?...i'll keep my opinions quiet if you do yours...i'm just curious, is all...just a questin' froggie :)...
