Sorry about this, but please just give security your I.D. – we don’t want no trouble.
Okay now that you’re in, Look our Bar Room. :silly: :cheerful: Annie Decorated it and I think she’s done a FABULOUS job!!!!! Thanks Annie!!!!
After, if you are still walking, talking and coherent you might want to stop by our gift shop!!!!
N O W S E R V I N G :
Hey there handsome, excuse me for a minute I’ll be right with ya’ 
MENU LIST:
N E W ON THE M E N U!:
DDD, also served by the bottle
Dirty Dirty Dirty Diana
INTRODUCING The dirty, Dirty, DIRTY DIANA: Some of you addicts have been pretending. And it’s really not necessary. When you come into the bar, have a seat. Your drink has already been prepared. We’ll even serve you the bottle. After all, it’s got your name on it. :yes: :alien:
Warning: Do NOT Mix this drink with Bad Boy Shots. We’ve heard some stories, let me tell ya!
Bad Boy Shot
THE BAD BOY SHOT: Let’s face it, you’re not a good girl and you’ve never been one. You need something strong in ya and this big, black bottle IS IT. One shot is usually enough though we at CCC already know that’s not all you want. Pure Testosterone, raw masculinity infused with some BAD a$$ attitude – all you need to do is open up, throw this one back and wait for it.
:pouty: :sick: Warning (Drink Responsibly)
MJ
- MJ, Too
MJ: We’ve taken this infusion of all natural MJ bodily extracts and perfectly blended it into this refreshingly, naturally sweet and tangy citrus beverage we all ooooooof course, MJ. And we swear, it taste just like JUICE! We can’t really explain what it will do to you — experience it for yourself. You’ll understand after your very first swallow. :whistle:
A Wet Sabah -- Creamy Sabah w/ just a hint of Michael in her.
A Wet Sabah: Creamy Sabah w/ just a hint of Michael in her.
In honor of our favorite couple’s special night we at CCC have created two special drinks:
CHASTITY and UNLEASHED
Ms. CHASTITY
MS. CHASTITY: Coy and uninhibited, sweet and sincere. Remember when you were without fear, honest and whole — do you want to feel like that little girl again; do you want to experience, if only for a moment, the blissfulness of youth? Enjoy, Saniia’s Ms. CHASTITY. Experience the quality that captured Michael’s heart. INNOCENCE IS INTOXICATING.
Unleashed
UNLEASHED: Years of discipline, control and abstinence can only result in one thing: UNLEASHED. We were there. We captured it. We bottled it. Taste the flavor of unbridled passion.
Liquid CobraCrack™
Liquid CobraCrack ™
LIQUID COBRACRACK™ There hasn’t been a chapter uploaded for days! Your internet connection is on the blitz and you can’t find your IPod. Your family and friends have completely disassociated themselves from you because you’ve become a walking zombie. Not one of them understands why you’ve been staring at the blank screen of your computer for days now. But if you don’t get some Michael in you and in you quick, you will just explode!
Due to the number of addicts jonesing outside of CCC we rolled up our sleeves and created this TEMPORARY infusion of Michael in the form of Liquid CobraCrack ™. Stock up now while supplies last. Keep some in the back of your fridge, in the garage, under your desk at work and in your nightstand. Never be without Michael again!!! But Be Warned: Liquid CobraCrack ™ is equally as addictive as the real thing and there is a high likelihood of developing a tolerance very quickly. :sad: You really just can’t replace the real thing!!!!
The cool, refreshing boyish joy of Michael in your glass.
MINTY MIKE: Inspired by Sonia: We were just goofing off, experimenting when we took Michael’s cool smile, his refreshingly sincere good nature, his boyish charm and added just a dash of delight and to our surprise, POOF!!! A Minty Mike appeared! One sip and we couldn’t stop laughing!!! Almost scientifically identical to the chemical compound of JOY, this drink will chase away any and all of your blues and put a peppermint — permanent smile on your face. Enjoy!
Creamy Sabah
CREAMY SABAH: Creamy Chocolate Mike w/ just a hint of Sabah. We searched high and low for a non-x-rated picture that we could put up and this is what we came up with — WHEWWWW!!!!
Pure
Prince Michael’s PURE – Cool, Sweet and light as mist, this magical drink refreshingly satisfies your craving for Prince Michael without the calories or the alcohol. Passion distilled to its purest form, PURE WILL cure your thirst . . . but alas not your desire. Feel free to drink it all day and all night but be warned, Prince Michael always leaves you wanting more.
:wub: L.O.V.E.:When it comes to shots, we don’t offer anything that is more electrifying. We are serving the pure essence of Michael. It IS all that he had ever stood for and nothing more. People who met him basked in its warmth. It was in his words, his actions, his demeanor, his behavior and most of all, his smile. He simply exuded it from his pores. He gave and never asked for anything in return and now we offer the same to you.
If you’re feeling down and you need a pick me up; if you have been hit with a dose of negativity and need something to chase it away, we present to you something that will fill you with only the most natural of highs. It is ten times stronger than any of our other drinks and lasts twice as long: L.O.V.E. Have a shot today and experience the love of Michael Jackson. ***If you experience an immediate sense of peace, joy and contentment, don’t be alarmed that’s the magic of Michael in your system.
Chocolate Covered Mike
CHOCOLATE COVERED MIKE: For those of us with a sweet tooth introducing, Chocolate covered Mike. It’s decadently sweet, addictive, satisfying and unbelievably good for you. It’s just too perfect, OMG!!!!
- Sangre
SANGRE: Other establishments serve Sangria. We serve Sangre. Simply put, this sensually, seductive mixture of perfectly blended fruit, aged wine and just a tinsy weensy drop of Michael’s blood will invade your system and change your personality FOREVER. Undercover cameras captured the woman in the picture above seconds after she took one sip – we are not even sure she had a chance to swallow. Michael NEVER knew what hit him but I hear he was smiling for days afterward. Try it – if you’re woman enough. :devil:
The Force - it has a lot of power!
THE FORCE: This drink is served with a resuscitation kit. I don’t’ think I need to say more!
The Prince Royale
THE PRINCE ROYALE: You’re a lady, and you know truthfully that is the only kind of woman who can capture Michael’s heart. You only drink to relax, not to get drunk like some of the lesser women who frequent Da Smooth Criminal. You’re not interested in cheap sex, you want a life time commitment from the object of your affection. Your drink will be served in our finest crystal, the ones etched in gold, on a silver platter in the VIP section of the bar. The smooth and fruity undertones of this vintage wine will peel away the layers of your resistance until you are as free from your inhibitions as any Creamy Mike lover. The only difference is you’ve done it with style. The price of this drink only reflects your superior self-worth. Go ahead splurge. You’re worth it! And Michael will definitely take notice. He enjoys the finer things in life and so do you.
Thug Passion
THUG PASSION: Okay it’s no Michael but you’re strapped for cash. The flavor doesn’t last as long but it’s just a ‘lil something to keep you going until you can get a REAL drink. A favorite of our financially challenged customers. What you see is what you get and damn, come on girls, you have to admit, it looks good as hell.
THE MABHA * Michael chose the name so excuse the spelling : )
THE MABHA: A smooth and tangy combination of Sabah and Michael with a twist and zesty kick at the end. Don’t nurse it, ’cause it get’s flat. Drink it while it still has that sizzle!
THE GENTLEMAN
THE GENTLEMAN WILL stay in you all night and will also be the first thing you feel when you wake up in the morning. Now let’s be clear: It’s not a hangover. It’s better than a hangover. It’s a HANG ON I’M CUMIN’.
Cool, milky, deceptively sweet.
THE MIKEGASM: Hands down, our most popular drink! Cool, Milky and deceptively sweet, you won’t see where the bang is coming from but IT WILL hit ya!!!!! What’s worst, you’ll keep ordering it anyway. We can’t explain why it explodes in your mouth, we just know we like it!!!! Make sure you have a designated driver if you start throwing back this one. We’re not going to take responsibility and you WON’T have just one.
Mr. M, Home Brewed Right Here at CCC daily!
MR. M: This is our signature beer. We brew it on the premises but if you’re watching yourself, you can get our light version instead.
Mrs. M, For Our Lady Cowgirls who WANNA remember the good times!
MRS. M: The light version of our homemade brew, for our responsible drinkers who also want to make it home in one piece.
Holoma's Soup
HOLOMA’S SOUP: This deceptively potent drink has babies popping up all over the place and since Michael loves da kids, we just can’t take it off the menu. It’s spicy and fruity and served with a strangely cool mist circling up top. Don’t mind the woman in the back hovering over the cauldron. She mixes a big batch of it every morning and though we’ve never asked for a specific list of ingredients, she says that it’s all natural and we trust her!!!
Creamy Mike
Creamy Mike w/ Extra Creme
CREAMY MIKE: (Inspired by Annie) Pure milk chocolate, lightened to perfection with thick, heavy cream and a blend of exotic liqueurs, the taste of this drink will linger in your mouth for hours. You’ll find yourself constantly licking your lips and thinking about it even after you’ve cleaned the last drop out of the glass with your finger. So delicious we naturally prepare two when it’s ordered because everyone gulps them down so quickly. BE WARNED: This drink WILL give you a particularly wicked alcoholic sugar rush. A number of women find it very difficult to keep their legs closed even after one small sip.
The Foreplay
THE FOREPLAY: (Inspired by Martinigirl) Trust me. Looks CAN be deceiving. This seemingly happy go lucky drink will put you flat on your back and keep you there. No matter what you’ve heard YOU ARE NOT READY for this drink. The tangy taste of pineapples smothered in Amaretto and Southern Comfort will knock you right off your feet – literally. Once on your back, you WILL stay there for days . . . and nights. I took this off the menu because I lost a couplah return customers. It’s served with a life size cut out of the Michael pic above. A bunch of people ordered, left and were never seen again.
Golden Boy
THE GOLDEN BOY: (Inspired by Enola) From the moment this Martini came into existence we knew it was special. Inexplicably sliding down your throat like icy cold molten lava, we struggled to formulate an adequate description. Fearing, because the drink was so powerful, that we would face multiple law suits if we put this volatile concoction on our menu we decided in the end it would only be safe to offer ONE drink PER PERSON per LIFE TIME. Ladies, ladies, before you protest, please try and understand: The Martini . . . shakes/stirs itself! (Cue dramatic music) ( O-O )
The Thriller
THE THRILLER — (Inspired by MJQuan) It sizzles, it pops, it dances in your mouth and then it gets down in you and makes you wanna dance, too. One sip, and your hand is up in the air, you’re pursing your lips and saying, “Oooooo”!!! This is our most popular non-alcoholic drink. You can take it all day and never get tired. Enjoy!

:lol: I was just looking at your pics on FB, if you can believe it. I posted on Sara’s blog, ended up on her page, and then that led me to your page cause of the pics you guys took in LA, and I saw that you were on Tumblr, and I kind of shook my head, cause you think THIS place is a addictive!!!!
Well, here you go, I’m a vampire, so I never sleep :smile:
OMG. Just got back from Paranormal Activity 2. That movie is totally fucked. As is the first one. I’m not one to get scared easily from movies but these ones really messed with me. For me, subtlety is the key and these films really do it. I’m never watching them again.
Anyways…
Just read your comment on my blog. To my best understanding this is what the issue is/was:
Around the time that Peter Jackson was announced as the director for The Hobbit films, there was an actor’s union that started rallying about actor’s rights or what not and all this nonsense. But it was started by an Australian actor’s union which had nothing to do with New Zealand in the first place. And when they were making the first films there were no issues with actor’s rights whatsoever. Everyone was happy to have been working on those films.
So… Warner Bros is now the production company to fund the Hobbit films. When they heard about this issue they were worried about filming the movies in New Zealand because they did not want any other industrial issues coming up during production that would cause delays and more money for them. So they were debating about whether or not to move the filming over to England or Ireland.
Almost a month after the actor’s union got their panties in a twist they then decided that they didn’t have a problem anymore and took back what they said (there are seriously so many technical terms for this whole situation and I’m not even sure that I’m giving you the story correctly as I’m still researching it myself, it’s very confusing). But the damage had already been done and Warner Bros. was very skeptical about the whole thing so the videos that you saw in my blog are of New Zealanders rallying to keep the Hobbit films in New Zealand so that they will have jobs and can work.
The last couple of days some Warner Bros. executives met with Peter Jackson and New Zealand’s Prime Minister for them to plead their case of why the Hobbit films should stay in New Zealand. Word was released literally just over an hour ago that the Hobbit films will in fact STAY IN NEW ZEALAND!!! Thank God!!! I was so relieved to hear that news. I can’t imagine them filming them anywhere else. Especially The Shire and all of that!!! How could they even consider filming elsewhere???
So, yeah. I’m very happy now. They can finally get a move on with filming and Peter Jackson can continue to be a genius. SO STOKED!!!
K, I think I found an article that explains it a bit better:
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118024651.html?categoryid=19&cs=1
What I told you up above were my understandings from different articles I read and different interviews I watched. It got REALLY confusing, LOL!!!
tee hee… that is funny! i love how everything is inter-connected online now – you can just keep everything all in one long line of continuing Michael… DOH!!! No wonder I can’t sleep…
:blush:
Yeah, now I have CCC, tumblr and badtour fever… I think I may need to lie down!
Sara – I dunno how you watch those movies.. I would be scared to death! Although I am not a crazed fan like you – I am looking forward to the hobbit – it is my fav outta the 4 books…
Okay thermos is filled – happy day lovelies… happy day!
Good morning all :smile:
Frodes, thanks for the explanation. Just as I thought, then. The studio has no business interfering with great art — I mean I know to them it IS a business, but I really wish they’d step aside sometimes. I’m so glad it worked out for the best.
I saw Paranormal Activity the night before it’s release in the midnight show. It was FABULOUS. I love scary movies! I mean it’s impossible to scare me, close it anyway, so any movie that can get’s my respect. You’re right subtelty is key. I’ve never seen one Saw and don’t intend to. Or The Hills Have Eyes. I hate gore.
But this was great!!!!! Sent chills down my spine! I don’t have a problem seeing it again, though, cause now that I know what will happen the scare factor is lower. IT was great fun :smile:
Mgirl, yeah, Tumblr is just like playing the slots in a casino, mindless clicking of pictures, you emerge hours later and realize you haven’t accomplished a damn thing! :cheerful:
Yes, Tumblr is escapism at its best – and sometimes you even discover something new. Like this morning for instance. While drinking my usual cup of coffee I came by this site to see if anything interesting had happened during the night. Immediately I was attracted to the Tumblr pictures. I had to clik the picture where he’s wearing the red shirt of course… GOD, he’s handsome… just divine… *Sigh*
Anyway I also checked out the other ones and in the picture where the young and old Mikes are sitting in their chairs, I noticed that me and Mike share a bad habbit. Look at old Mike – the thing he does with his toes (the foot on the floor) – I do that constantly when I’m not wearing shoes. I have tried to stop it because I suspect it’s not that good for my feet, but after seeing this I don’t care if all my toes fall off. Actually, I’m doing it right now. LOL!
Hehehe…I’m insane I know…but I don’t care!
This is big for me – I need a drink to celebrate!
A Gentleman is just what I want – and need.
Cheers everybody and have a great Thursday!
I always say the best thing about Tumblr is that it’s a site really based on sharing, like youtube but more so and I love that. BUT I’m dealing w/ a teen who wants to be on it all day and all night and that’s annoying. So I think Tumblr is great if taken in measures.
Now that pic ahhhh, I reblogged it cause I think it was ingenious, getting him to do the same pose twice with so many years in between the pics and I’ve been meaning to photoshop the two together myself but sure took a minute before I reposted it.
It’s the first pic that I don’t like so much. Not because of the pic (I wrote pose by mistake, it IS the pose) – I don’t know, there’s something very sexual about that pose, and it reminds me of what Michael had to go through as a child and doesn’t leave that warm fuzzy feeling in my heart.
Happy Thursday to all my addicts (lurkers – you too :tongue: ) ! :smile:
When I heard the commotion outside the doors of CCC I ran back as fast as I could! Sorrrrrrrry :kissing:
Tsk, tsk, tsk…
*struggles her way out from the bottom of the pile of addicts outside the door*
Sabine, really…
You should start handing out chill pills at the bar too. We’re panicking when we cannot get in.
My bad!!!! I tried to access the site too just to see what was going on and was like :w00t:
It’s cause I was so in a rush, seeing about the next shipment! :whistle:
Ahhh, a shipment… Now, that’s the best chill pill there is.
Except for the unmentionable but very interesting parts of your stories that makes me blush and feel kind of hot, that is…
:blush:
*peeling my face off the window it’s been pressed against for the last 4 hours…*
Hi Enola….OMG, that was a close one, wasn’t it? PHEW!! What shall we drink? I need something to calm my nerves!
Sabine, i think we have learned a little lesson here today…leave a key under the mat girl!! SHEESH!!
or maybe one of those fake stones with the secret compartment.
aahhhh, feels good to be back after my 2-day work week. :lol:
oh but it’s Trick-or-Treat tomorrow night and only one kid has a costume so the sewing machine will be running full-speed today! Why do i always wait until the last damn minute?
Hi Gracie,
How does a Creamy Mike with extra cream sound?
:w00t:
MMmmmm…sounds YUM! I find you can never go wrong with ANYTHING that has extra cream. :wink:
Are your toes aching yet? I can see your bad habit turning into an obsession!
I just checked out the tumblr pics with Michael sitting on the red throne and I get an unsettled feeling from them too. It’s the pose with little Mike, and also, somehow putting them next to each other makes me think of all that Michael went through in the years in between, like a before and after and it makes me feel kind of sad. Of course, I have always thought Michael seemed beautiful but melancholy in those photos at Neverland by Harry Benson ( i think that’s his name). There is one posted in the movie room too that it hurts me to look at.
Now Now Gracie, I removed the rocks because don’t you remember the riot in April, when I put up that fake chapter and everyone busted out the windows! :wassat:
I’ll just leave the door wide open from now on, so I won’t ever forget!!!! :wub:
Open school night my dears! One down and one to go. My son, who is a dream :wub:, which everyone loves is easy.
Then we have the other one :devil:
I’ll get rave reviews from all of her teachers but there’s ALWAYS on teacher out of the lot that rubs her the wrong way and she picks to torture for the rest of the year. Here’s hoping that this marking period will be different.
Gracie you’re MAKING the costume? Cooool, what did you go with?
Now what’s this I hear about unmentionables? (I always think of panties when someone says that :smile: )
Ahhhhhh yes, the April Fools Riot….how could i forget? I still have scars from that day. Good thing you got here as fast as you did today or it could have been deja vu all over again!
Well, I just finished up some awesome shimmery bat wings for the little guy, I still have some sewing to do on the Frog Princess (someone gave me the frog, just adding a princess hat, etc. ) and i lucked out…boy 2 found an old Obi Wan Kenobi costume that was in the closet so he’s wearing that and Rocky just needs sweats and fake blood!
Good luck tonight…I always go in with the same attitude as you…one you know they will love and the other you just never know ….same thing year after year :happy:
i have a school meeting tonight too about science fair. ugh. science fair gives me hives. better tuck a litte somethin in my purse… :wink:
Hey ladies!!!
Went to Disneyland yesterday and visited our friend Mr. EO. He was as handsome as always and oh so sweet.
Here’s a photo:
And then this was us at dinner. We went for my friend’s 30th birthday:
Fun fun fun!!!
I cant get enough of the P.Y.T. demo. I almost like it better than the original. Totally blasphemous, I know, but he sound so sweet in it!!!
Hope everyone is having a lovely day!!!
*shaking my head*
tsk.. why won’t my key work..
knock, knock – hello…
let me jiggle it… ahhhhh
*door swings open*
oh thank god… I was so scared I was locked out!
I think I need a drink
:blink:
:biggrin: Good Morning addicts!! Happy happy day!
So, MartiniGirl has the spare key, eh? Now I know who to call next time i can’t get in.
why am i in such a great mood this morning?? well…it could be because it’s Trick-or-Treat night, my favorite night of the year, or it could be because it’s Friday and i don’t have to go to work, OR….it could be because…
:lol: LYDIA POOPED IN THE POTTY!!!! :w00t: WHOO-HOO!!!
We’re celebrating here…everybody jump in the line!! you know how to do it!!
Awwww, Frodes, I love your Captain EO T-shirt!! you know…my birthday’s coming up… :wink:
Congratulations Gracie!!!! Yeah for Lydia!!!!!!!!
I always made a super big deal outta my kids first “delivery” — that way they could keep doing it and I could stop buying pampers!!!!
Frodes, that’s a super cute T-shirt!!! Are you losing weight? You look like there’s half of you there compared to last time :smile: I wanna go see Captain EO on the big screen — I still remember when i saw it last, before the big fiasco, but it would be nice to see it again, after the fact.
Mgirl, girl, you can throw away that key. When CCC get’s locked down, there’s no key in the world that will open these doors. But no need to worry, I’ve decided to leave it open . . . . for now :devil: Mmuuuuuuuhahahaha, that’s a little Halloween humor. :pinch:
Now I’m off for a day of pampering. Got to get my daughter fancy, hair done, nails done, everything done :whistle: (if you don’t know the song, you won’t know what I’m talking about)
Girls, are so expensive, between the pedicure, eyebrows, manicure and hair, plus the outfit for her actual outfit for her birthday, she’s gonna cost me a fortune. But anyway, what am I working for huh? Since she did so well in school, she deserves it! Still, I gotta say, my son is not nearly as high maintenance!!!!
The best part of open school night was when we saw my son’s art teacher. She kept telling me how much she liked his “lines” — I liked how she kept saying that “lines”. She said how she thought he was super talented and that she was in awe in him. Hell, I was in awe of her praise!!!! :smile: I’m so happy he’s in the right school and pursuing his passion. And I met a bunch of really special teachers, dedicated to teaching and who really LIKE what they’re doing. So it was great!
Again, I thought of Michael — how he would have felt if he was in a art school or music school, some place like Julie Arts, how his life would have been different if he was surrounded by people who really cared about HIM and his art and helping him cultivate it and be fulfilled by it.
Oh yeah, by the way this was email from Karen about Lisa has resurfaced.
Supposedly it’s from 2007 and in it Karen calls Lisa a “little witch” she says that Lisa is the one who tried to manipulate Michael, that she’d never seen him as unhappy as when he was married to her and she was unbelievably jealous of anyone near Michael, even HER own children.
http://165.140.70.174/~cobracra/1dy
Here’s an excerpt:
Today Karen tweeted on Tuesday, I supposed in response to that:
”
“I am a better person now, and so is LMP, because we each have grown and learned. Neither of us is perfect yet ;)” — but she says she stood by what she said, at the time.
Hmph, I think Karen is projecting, she is the one who is jealous of all the women around Michael, I think, but I also think she pinned LIsa correctly, ’cause you know it takes one to know one.
Trick Or Treat!!
I have 500 pieces of candy (it’s a popular neighborhood) and one uncooperative princess who wants to eat it all. And it’s CCCCCCCOLDDDDD out there! Brrrrr! i don’t know how long we will last tonight.
anyway, i’m so glad to hear the kids are doing well SAbine. YAY! Last week in one of my classes we watched an interview with Tim Burton and he talked about how teachers try to tell kids HOW to draw and he was lucky to have a teacher that didn’t do that. Seems like you got a good one!
OMG, i hope my daughter turns out un-fancy like me! I own a tweezer, one eye shadow and a couple lipsticks. :lol: If she starts asking for beauty advice i’ll have to refer her to you!
Yes, I have lost weight, Sabine. Definitely 10 pounds but it could be more since I last checked. It’s this tea I’m drinking. Like I told you before I’ve totally changed my diet around because of medical issues. I’ve cut out dairy and I’m trying to be wheat free and gluten free as well. It’s hard but baby steps is what I’m doing.
This tea is crazy. I’ve done cleanses before but dude… whoa. It’s a total body cleanse and it’s the only cleanse I’ve done that is actually doing something. It worked on my colon first and for like a month I was going to the bathroom like 8 times a day. Then for about a week I was starting to feel so much better and now it’s caused me to have this rash on my skin in different places. So it’s definitely pushing something out of my body!!! Your skin is the biggest organ in your body so a lot of people tend to have detoxing side effects with their skin when they do cleanses. It’s scary but I know it’s part of the process so I just have to be patient.
Pheewwwww, Hey all, what a day!!!!
It’s a good thing Forever 21 on Times Square is opened until 2:00 a.m.!!!!!!
Gracie, I want candy!!! WAAHHHHHHH!!!! :cwy: It was freezing here in NY too, and I was walking with my flip flops on ’cause I didn’t want to mess up my toes! Scarf and hat, but flip flops :lol:
Now yes, yeah and yep, I am a self confessed girly girl! I love doing hair and make up and getting dressed up, and I lovvvvvve getting pedicures, BUT I don’t like nail polish on my nails. I only wear clear coat or occasionally, very rarely a french manicure, but I like it on other people, go figure. Same with make up, I like a very natural look, but I’m okay with other people wearing stuff I never do — like I don’t like lip stick on my lips, just lip gloss. I don’t like much doing my own hair, but I like doing other people’s hair!!!! Now as far as pedicures, some of those nail shops are dirty, so I usually do my own feet but this time we splurged.
My daughter is really happy with her purchases. She looks so cute — plus, Forever 21’s dressing room, I swear, has the greatest lighting and sssssh don’t tell, but I think special mirrors because in the dressing room all their clothing looked great on EVERYONE :lol:
Frodes, honey what a cowinkiydink! My son, who was diagnosed with autism when he was two, well I went off like a mama lion looking for herbal and natural remedies to help him, never one to accept what western medicine is telling me.
So after reading about the dangers of vaccinations and what it can do to some children, specifically the MMR shot, and the success some parents had with a change in diet, I put my son on a dairy free, wheat free diet, what he had to avoid was the protein casein which is found in milk/cheese dairy products and any and all wheat products, because, the theory went, his body couldn’t process it and it was building up in his system and basically acting as an opiate, and OMG, it was HARD because WHEAT GLUTEN is in EVERYTHING; it made it almost impossible to eat out and next to impossible to let him eat over at family and friends homes. I baked my own bread, read labels like crazy, and you know, it did work — he did talk, after being non-verbal for years, when he was six, six weeks or thereabouts after being on that diet. And it was easier cause he was only 2 and hadn’t gotten so addicted to certain foods. Till this day he doesn’t like cheese at all. There is such a withdrawal effect with certain foods, like a I realized too late, when I was a vegetarian for about two years, that it wasn’t the meat I craved that made me feel so hungry, it was the starch, and I’m sure the wheat. That stuff is like a drug, that and refined sugar.
So there is a lot to it, as far as being healthy. I suppose it’s the yeast you’re trying to get out of your system? There’s a great book I have on it but I have to look for it, and it talks about detoxing your body and such. Very hard at first but definitely worth it.
So best of luck to you with that, I’m glad you are feeling better and are happy and whole, that’s what’s important. :heart:
Hello my lovelies,
I was wondering if one of my fellow addicts has THE perfect Thanksgiving turkey recipe – and wants to share it with me?
My husband has talked me into cooking a turkey US style and…well, I guess I could seach for a recipe on the internet, but I’d really love to get it from one of you instead.
I do not care if it’s complicated or takes three days – I know my way around a kitchen, so send me an e-mail if you think you’ve got just the right recipe for me.
Thanks!
:heart:
Awww, that’s so cool Enola. I never use recipies myself, I kind of wing it, but my sister, she made a Turkey which she periodically injected with butter as it was roasting, and let me tell you by the time she was finished, I’m not sure how many calories it had, but it was literally sliding apart as we cut it.
hmmmm, let me ask Kit about a recipe — she might have one for you!!!!!!
Oh! I quite forgot about Kit!
I’m sure she has just the right recipe for me…but… uhm if I use one of her recipies I will think of Michael all the time and…
Whatever! I think about him constantly anyway.
Yes, Sabine. We live in a chemical society. It sucks but it’s true. Why can’t it be like in the Bible days when everything was so simple??? Food wise, anyway. ;)
But guess what??? That rash wasn’t from the tea. I had an allergic reaction to something!!! My face started to swell up and my throat got a bit tight so I went to a 24 hour urgent care. They gave me an I.V. drip and a couple of steroids and antihistamines. It was really scary when my throat started getting tight. I was like FUCK THIS!!!
I say it wasn’t the tea but I’m wondering if the tea has cleaned out my system so much that I can’t handle certain foods now and my body’s like “what are you doing to me”??? I’m gonna lay off of the tea for awhile but I will still eat healthy and take my vitamins and all the other things I was doing as well.
You’re right, though. It is very hard to eat that way. A LOT of work!!! But you gotta do what you gotta do.
Minty Mike, please.
Well, spiritually speaking I believe it’s like this — when we got the symbolic knowledge of “good” and “evil” — we got all of it; all that knowledge, without a clue how to handle it, and some of the knowledge, we used for evil, i.e., to make money and keep people sick.
Thank God all of our drinks here in the bar are all natural and very healthy! :heart:
Ugh. So my hives are flaring back up again so I’m thinking that maybe it might be wheat that I’m allergic to. God damn it!!! I haven’t gone to get my medicine yet cause I don’t have a car. I am so sick of all of this bullshit that I’ve been going through the last 3 months. I can only take so much, you know??? This is hard!!!
Awww, I’m sorry you’re not feeling well, Frodes. :heart:
:devil: Happy Halloween my fellow addicts… :devil:
Feel better Frodes – I have been reading your posts – I hope it gets better soon. *hug*
:heart:
About being VULNERABLE
– From – Fynn, Mr. God, This is Anna
Love that! :wub:
Well, after completely botching my comment on TTWC, I thought ‘silly Gracie, your whole problem is you should have had a drink FIRST!! Monday morning L.O.V.E. shot! :lol:
did everyone have a happy Halloween??
MGIrl, you’re not one of those people that dresses up their dogs and takes them Trick-or-Treating are you? people actually came to my house as if they expected me to have a stash of Milk Bones or something! Good grief!
It was COLD but crazy fun here. One of my neighbors was hiding in between the houses and jumping out with a freaking chain saw at people!! My daughter was so funny…she’s not scared of much but when she would see a really scary skeleton mask or like one of the neighbors had a mask of the bunny from Donnie Darko ( which I admit is the freaking creepiest thing ever conceived) she would hold her little treat bag up in front of her face and go “AAAAHHHH! sceery!!” not actually cry or anything, just say it!
Sabine, I like the excerpt above. It’s true, it’s DANGEROUS to go outside but it’s the only way.
I thought you might like this prayer . It’s the Feast of All Saints and Michael the Archangel is my youngest son’s patron:
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God
thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.
It just occured to me it’s been a long time since I posted a picture of Zoobie. So here he is – close to 3 1/2 months old, and half asleep on my desk.
I’ll just caption that picture for you, Enola. It looks to me like Zoobie is saying:
“Still on the computer, huh?”
:lol: :tongue:
Ahhh, Gracie, Ididn’t see you up there. I love that prayer. I actually think I have it written down somewhere. I print them up and post them places where I can see them. But I think I switched with another one, as I do from time to time. You just reminded me to go fish it out. Thank you honey :kissing:
Your daughter sounds like a complete doll baby!!!! :wub: :heart: :wub:
Sounds like you guys had a real halloween. Last week the kids went to a haunted house with their dad, but I didn’t do anything this year!!!! Ugh! I am not up on my game at all.
Donnie Darko! Another movie I’ve never seen, and I can’t imagine why as I think Jake is a super fine hottie! Plus, he can really act, which is REALLY why I think he’s cute. I’m attracted to talent :wub:
As for it being dangerous to go out — this is really appropriate after halloween talk, right? :lol:
But seriously, it’s true, there are some souls that I wouldn’t want to meet on a bright day, forget about a dark night. But there’s a saying in alcoholic circles, the only way out . . . . is through.
:wink:
morning Enola! WOW!! Zoobie has really grown! He looks a little stoned in that pic…maybe from sitting too close to your computer full of CRACK!!
oh yeah, i have an awesome turkey recipe..just got to find it! lots of herbs and soooo tender and juicy…yum!
OMG Sabine, Donnie Darko….if you ever watch it and figure it out, let me know! Girl, I have seen than thing a couple of times and i still am like…HUH??? i just don’t get it. I LIKE it, but i am missing something and it leaves me feeling dumb and not sure what really happened. but Frank ( i think that’s his name) the bunny…i repeat…creepiest thing EVER. and Jake is really good in it.
now, you know I get really interested in children’s art,right? well, just a few weeks ago my 5-year-old started drawing angels on all his drawings. Like it would be 3 kids playing baseball, and above them 3 guardian angels, and he did one of his sister sleeping in her bed with 2 angels in the room watching her, stuff like that. They are soooo sweet, i keep saving them and sticking them up all over the house! I feel like they are so pure and powerful in a way, you know? i just like having them around. :happy:
Lol @ Donnie Darko, movies like that frustrate me ’cause i keep trying to watch them and figure them out.
Really, Gracie, I wonder if he’s seeing them. Did you ask him?
Gracie, I’m so frustrated right now!!!!! :pinch:
It was about 3:00 a.m. the other night, I’m on my daughter’s lap top and I clicked her link to Tumblr. She’s always loggged in so BLAMMMMM, a bunch of hardcore PORN!!!!!!
Now here is how Tumblr works. People put up pictures, quotes, little gifs, if you like what they post, you follow them. Well one of her followers for some crazy reason decided to download a shit load of porn onto his page.
So just like the wall on fb, this stuff is appearing on my daughter’s dash. When I scrolled through his friends list I notice that there are these pictures and videos being reposed by children unsupervised with no way to restrict them, and that there is virtually a ton of porn on tumblr without any warning whatsoever that underage children should not be viewing it.
So I sent in a complaint, as their policy says that sexually explicit VIDEOS are not allowed on their site. I asked if there was a policy to protect under aged children and if there was a policy against sexually explicit content. And here is what the little shit had the nerve to reply to me.
God save us from this wicked, wicked world! I don’t give two f*cks if adults want to corrupt their minds with that stuff, but for under aged children to have such easy access to HARD CORE pornorgraphic GIFs and images :pinch:
And then they wondered what’s wrong with kids these days.
Hi, Sabine and Gracie!
Yeah, poor Zoobie does look as if he is a little fed up with my addiction.
Maybe he would not feel that way if I could somehow explain to him that my addiction is the very reason why he has such a cool name.
Ahhhh…the turkey recipe…
Gracie, I just knew you had a recipe for me! I should have followed my intuition and written you an e-mail straight away.
:wub:
Oh God… I sound as if I live an Amish kind of life.
I mean look at my post – I talk about my cat and turkey recipies… and you talk about porn being spread on Tumblr for all the kids to see…crikey…
Did my post just sound wrong in that context or what?
Nahhh, Enola, it’s a bar, all types of conversations will come up. And we’re talking about the web, so there’s everything on the web, good and bad. :smile:
The thing is you DON’T see this type of stuff on Facebook.
I just reported them to the Center for the Protection of the Exploitation of Children. It’s such a condescending way he responded to me, as if I was actually looking for or at this stuff and then complaining that it was on there. :ermm:
That’s good, Sabine.
It warms my heart that you reported them.
It’s frustrating — I’m frustrated! I wish I could do more!!! :pinch: But thanks for your support. :heart:
:lol: awww, Enola, you would fit right in here in Amish country! that’s all we talk about all day…cats and recipes… and babies! we like the simple things in life. :wink:
OMG, Sabine, you can just FEEL the smirk on that guy’s face can’t you??? what a jerk! You know, i sometimes feel like i limit my kids exposure to the web and TV and stuff TOO much, but then i find out about rampant pornography and I feel better about it. Sheesh! There are times when i feel hopeful for the human race, when i see people doing good and children growing up happy and giving and caring….and then there are times i think we are all going to hell in a handbasket. :angry:
that’s the thing, right Gracie, how much do you limit. though my daughter is pretty mature, and I trust her judgment for the most part, she is still a teen. Her response was, oh, I scroll past it if that happens, it’s no big deal.
I was like :w00t: Then I had to talk to her about innocence and holding onto that, not allowing yourself to become so over exposed that your callous and desensitized to the point that maybe regular sex doesn’t even satisfy you anymore. I told her you don’t WANT that to happen to you, ’cause you won’t even know it’s happened until it’s too late. Hopefully, she can understand what I mean. It’s so hard, when I know she just doesn’t KNOW what can happen.
I asked her, when you see Michael running through a field playing water balloons, or hiding in the folds on a curtain what do you think of that?
She answer that she thinks he’s cute, that’s it’s adorable.
And I told her you find it attractive, don’t you? Why because innocence IS attractive, that playful, childlike, openness. And you don’t want to lose that by being exposed to something that will completely take it away. Porn has no rules — there’s no, this is not appropriate, or this is not okay. Once you open that door, you have the potential of seeing ANYTHING.
And to a child who’s mind has not developed sexually fully, who has no sexual experience, to see that, that to me is tragic, and it’s also, as far as I’m concerned sexual abuse. Children now a days are tooooo exposed.
i hear you honey, i agree. The bar of what’s acceptable to put on TV, in movies, in songs, etc. is TOO HIGH! And exactly what you said happens…kids figure if it’s there, it must be okay for me to see it and it becomes meaningless to them really. when you see sex everywhere, what is there left to discover with someone in a real relationship? My mother thinks my kids are too sheltered, which is pretty funny considering how i grew up. She didn’t purposely shelter us, it was just that we lived far away from civilization and only got one channel on the TV. We aren’t a noTV, no movies, no dancing family for sure, the key is that I am aware of what they are watching, reading, listening to and if i have a problem with it…it goes and i tell them why, what about it i don’t agree with. I know they will be exposed to stuff as they get older, i just want them to have a childhood where they can be CHILDREN and not have to deal with adult things, to be able to hold onto their innocence. BUT, as you said the balance is getting harder with my now-teenager.
Speaking of… sAbine, i need mommy advice! I just found out (because i occasionally read my son’s emails and texts) that last week he told this girl he has liked since the 2nd grade that he likes her and he thinks she’s the prettiest girl in the world and she totally gave him the ‘i’m happy the way things are, i don’t want to ruin our friendship” routine which OF COURSE ruins the friendship anyway and i think he feels humiliated and now he has to see her every day and i just don’t know what to do! Do i tell him that i know? Do i just let him work it out with his friends? HELP! uncharted territory! And what the hell was he thinking in the first place? What good could have possibly come from telling her that? They are 13! It’s not like they are going to go out on dates or something!
The biggest problem I have with porn is the objectification, and a child’s brain is not prepared to separate themselves from the visual stimulation that porn creates, and the way they see themselves and each other after being exposed to it. I always say, wonder why so many men treat women like crap and regard woman as nothing more than a walking receptacle for their penis, wellllll, trace it right back to that. And don’t let me get started on the unrealistic expectation that all women will look like a porn star and act like a porn star.
Ugh! :pinch:
Really???? Wow, I’m flattered since you’re Mama Gracie!!!!
Awwwww, that’s so cute!!!! HOw adorable of him :wub:
Oh, boy, well that’s kinda sad :sad:
But why do you think it ruins the friendship. Children are incredibly fickle. A little gilr will have a “boyfriend” one week and totally not like him the next week. It’s supposed to be like that. And what’s important is that she told him how she felt and didn’t string him along.
Really, why do you think that? Maybe YOU are humiliated for him? :wink: :tongue:
Seriously, maybe he’s not even thinking about that anymore. But all in all, I wouldn’t say one word about it to him UNLESS he asks you about it first. No. 1, you run the risk of him thinkin he can never text or email anything personal around you again, because you’ve violated his trust. Not that I don’t think you should read your son’s email. I do, read my daughter’s email and FB stuff, too. But she knows, and I only say things if something is really wrong, like you know I see porn on her dash! :lol: Otherwise, I wait for her to ask me. Or I’d bring it up — like tell a story of a person I liked when I was young who rejected me and how I felt about it.
Now why do you think that Mama Gracie? :kissing:
It is incredibly brave and mature of your son to tell a girl how he feels about her!!!! So what if he’s 13? Romeo and Juliet were 15. Little kids like 5 have boyfriends. To them it means that they’ve just told someone they like them and they can sit with them at lunch or “claim them” as boyfriend for a week or two. I remember my daughter telling me she had a boyfriend and I was like, oh really, she was maybe nine. I said, who is he? And she pointed him out, and then two days later she told me he wasn’t her boyfriend anymore. I said, so what did it mean that he was your boyfriend, she said, oh, you know, that everyone just knows I like him. :wub:
I think it’s sweet and can be perfectly innocent, and I think you should probably let him work it out himself, unless he seems distressed and upset, of course, then you might want to ask him if something is wrong and give him room to bring it up to you.
I think it’s really healthy for children to express their feelings and also to learn early in life how to deal with rejection. So this is a lesson for your son, and who knows, she might decide tomorrow that she really does like him!
Well, I have had a few hours to simmer down now and i’m feeling better about the situation…boy, that really blindsided me and brought up a lot of insecurities from my own youth. I am unprepared for this! It was NOT acceptable in my house growing up to express those kinds of feelings. So, at this point I am doing nothing because my attitude is not going to help him at all anyway.
I said that i thought he felt humiliated because last week he declined to go to a Halloween party one of his friends had, not only declined but didn’t even tell me he was invited which is VERY unusual cuz he’s generally very social and will go anywhere with anyone just for something to do, you know? Also, I see them in school and I noticed tension where normally they are very friendly and talkative and work together on a lot of projects and school service activities and stuff like that. So that’s why i checked his emails in the first place, cuz i asked him if something was going on with him and his friends and i got the run-around. He knows i check his stuff occasionally. I don’t do it a lot but there is no expectation of privacy there. And, this is definitely me projecting again, and it’s awful to say, but this girl is way out of his league. Like, i don’t think she would even consider someone of his status from a family from our neighborhood no matter how cute or smart or whatever. But, if he doesn’t think that, then good for him, right? and at least he has a healthy attitude towards women. Like I said, i’m keeping my mouth shut about it and trying to sort it out for myself before it happens again!
BTW, my hubby’s (much better) reaction was “wow, i never would have had the guts to do that at his age” :lol:
he’s proud of his little Romeo.
Well, Gracie, I’m sure you’ll handle everything fine, just as long as you’re aware that you have your issues and you are careful not to project them onto your son, I’m sure your son will come to you in his own time.
But honey, be careful with this:
Why not? :wub:
Your son is as worthy and as lovable as any other boy in the world. If she’s a good person with her head on straight, won’t matter where he comes from or where he lives.
Love that hubby of yours! That’s the way to look at it! :wink: :wub: :heart:
