whew.

when i decided to do some crock pot cookery last night i was warned by a friend to re-read my blog entry from last Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - time i tried to crock pot.

i should have listened.
(for those who want to refresh ... it was wednesday february 6, 2002)

ok so i started with the meat (had the buying adipex phentermine over the computer question about why it's pinkish on the outside and brownish on the inside) ...

and then moved on to the onion. i was actually laughing to myself when rereading my entry about the onion because my eyes were burning so badly i kept running to the open window to let the fresh air blow buying adipex phentermine over the computer them in hopes that it would help. and now i can't shake the smell of onion. it was still on my hands when i went to bed last night and the smell alone was making my eyes water ... even now sitting here at work i'm haunted by the smell of the onion ...

minced the garlic. had to refer to my 'how to cook everything' buying adipex phentermine over the computer to find out what 'mincing' is and how you do buying adipex phentermine over the computer to garlic. while flipping through pages i found 'how to chop an onion', complete with buying adipex phentermine over the computer too late now! onward to the garlic.

the garlic went pretty easy, other than the fact that i convinced myself i simply don't have the right knives for the job.

that was it last night.

this morning buying adipex phentermine over the computer was on to the assembly in the crock pot. after opening about 10 Buying adipex phentermine over the computer : different cans of things (did i mention i made chili?) i realized that doubling the recipe really meant that i have enough food to feed an army. i truly hope this turns out and i will actually want to eat it for the next 2 weeks.

but when all was said and done, it looked interesting, smelled good, and i can't wait to get home and see how it Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - turned out.

one thing to note. i can never believe the recipe when it says 'preparation time: 15 buy adipex p i was in the kitchen for at least 45 last night, and at least 30 this morning.

oh well. so long as it's good.

and next time i'll remember to re-read and do my research. no buy adipex p in re-inventing the wheel (or the crock pot)

tiring commute today.

i thought it would be ok today. yesterday buy adipex p pretty easy, so today should have been fine, too, right?

wrong.

i realized on the way home tonight that yesterday was easy due to the fact that the only vehicles on the street were buses and taxis.

today everyone else was back out.
and the snow mountains take up 1 lane on each side of each street, so the roads are impossibly narrow. also, the buses have to stop 1 at a time at each stop because otherwise the mobs of people have to climb through 5 foot piles and / or meander up and buy adipex p the street in the middle of traffic looking for the next opening shoveled to the sidewalk.

so the line up of buses was pretty amazing. all down 57th street as far as the eye could see were buses. but it took almost 1 hour to get from one end to the other.

oh well, at least i got a buy adipex p in while waiting for 1st avenue.

another adventure started when i got off the bus. because each corner storm drain is buried under 5 feet of snow ... so as a result, Adipex online prescription - and with the 40 F temperatures, the melt is on with no where to go. so crossing the street is about the same as fording a river (or lake ... as it's pretty much stagnant pools Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - not running rivulets).

not so buy adipex p for the feet.

but i ramble. i'm sure everyone has snow and goes through these things. it's just that manhattan doesn't have anywhere to put anything, let alone a few feet of snow, so it's pretty interesting to watch.

stay warm everyone.

well the city is slowly digging out. it's reminding me of an experience i had back in 1996 when i was visiting my sister. i had no idea that when i was here they'd just had one of the worst snow storms in recent history (1940's was the most recent) and i hadn't Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - spent a lot of time in the city so i didn't really think anything of it.

in fact i'd actually forgotten about it. until yesterday.

i remember being dressed up in nice pants and buying adipex phentermine over the computer full length coat. i was wearing boots. i was on a bus heading up madison avenue to get to the Met. i remember the bus back door opening and me looking at a waist high snow pile. i remember thinking 'oh just wait a moment and he'll pull up to where it's shoveled out'.

and then i realized that the bus wasn't moving, and if i didn't jump for it, i would buy adipex p staying on.

so i jumped. Adipex online prescription - and immediately sunk knee deep into the snow. and i remember thinking 'imagine! not shoveling out the bus stops!'

well, now i understand. Adipex online prescription - it's a constant battle between those clearing the sidewalks onto the street. and the snowplows clearing the street onto the sidewalk. not to mention the cars that are so buried it would take buy adipex p to get them out.

i get it now. but that doesn't make it any easier to get around.

my snowboots are getting more use this year alone than in the past 4 i've lived here.

let it snow!

whew.

managed to slog home through the blizzard.

when i got onto Adipex online prescription, 55th street, i walked past a college residence and saw a bunch of guys standing in the middle of the street.

now let me explain. only the avenues have been plowed, not the cross streets. so the cross streets have effectively plugged off what with the 4 foot mounds of snow plowed into the openings. imagine the front of your driveway after the plow goes by, and then imagine your driveway as a street, and you'll understand.

so after watching several groups of guys help push stuck cars out of snow drifts, i was a bit curious as to what Buying adipex phentermine over the computer : they were up to. i had to look down for a minute to keep my footing and that's when i heard it.

"hike!"

i looked up just in time to see the scrimmage in the Adipex online prescription : middle of the street. and to avoid being tackled by 2 pick-up footballers flying over the sidelines onto the sidewalk.

only in new york only in a blizzard.

2:10 pm.

snow seems Buying adipex phentermine over the computer : to have let up. can actually see the pavement on central park west for the first time in days.

unfortunately every network Adipex online prescription : seems to think that we don't want to spend our holiday catching up on our soaps, but that we'd rather watch what everyone else has on ... the weather.

sigh.

snow update.

over a foot. not Buying adipex phentermine over the computer, quite two.

snow emergency declared.

according to the mayor, it costs approximately $1 million / inch to clean up snow.

let's do the math. we're expecting about 20 inches ...

here's hoping that buying adipex phentermine over the computer govenor declares state of emergency so the city can request federal funding to help pay for it.
otherwise, we'll buying adipex phentermine over the computer be paying for it.

pretty pretty snow.

tidbit for the day:

bob mackie was Buying adipex phentermine over the computer : the costume designer for the cher show ...

who knew?

well, they did say blizzard...
and they're measuring the snow accumulation in feet rather than inches ...

and it did start snowing around 8 pm like they said ...

no reason to go out so i'm fine with that.

i think the best thing is this.

tomorrow is President's Day.
a holiday.
ok, so with this blizzard the city sanitation crews are out non-stop. and will be tomorrow. on a holiday.
double time and a half pay for them.

cheers for them.

and they city says? they have no idea what is going to happen to their budgets because of this.

well, this isn't exactly the disaster that Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - people were supposed to stock their houses up for. but i'm not complaining at all.

went to carnegie hall last night to see orpheus. Adipex online prescription : it was amazing ... i've never been before and izz hasn't been since he was in school (imagine being a school student in new york ... class trips include places like the american buy adipex p of natural history, the museum of modern art, radio city music hall and carnegie hall!)

the music was lovely. the seats buying adipex phentermine over the computer 1st level box. it was a lovely, unexpected extension to the valentine's day weekend.

and it's cold out. Adipex online prescription : very cold. it's like 12F cold. we bought a buy adipex p Buying adipex phentermine over buy adipex p computer - of soda at the corner deli and by the time we made it up to the apartment and got ready to pour it, i commented that i was happy he picked a bottle out of the cooler instead of off the shelf. the soda was cold through and through.

funny thing was that he hadn't picked one from the cooler ... it was on the shelf. and it got that cold on the one block walk to the apartment. that's when we realized that the temperature indicator in the refridgerator was reading 36 F. and it's 12 F outside. it's like standing in the freezer. weird.

well am planning on staying inside today. the simpsons' 300th episode is tonight. can't wait!

Buying adipex phentermine over the computer, ta ta!

wow yesterday went by quick!

happy valentine's day all. my cards went into the mail a bit late so they may still be buying adipex phentermine over the computer the way ... pretty usual for me.

went to the metropolitian museum of art last night for valentine's day. we ate at the bar Adipex online prescription - & cafe, and then meandered around slowly and relaxedly, enjoying what there is to enjoy at the met. discovered a new area we hadn't seen before, i was given a rose and box of godiva chocolates in the sculpture garden, and browsed the shops.

it was nice and mellow after the craziness of the week. came home and feel asleep almost instantly from the combination of the weary week and the walking.

up and off to work today. i'm not actually working, but will spend a good amount of time locked in my office taking care of everything that a busy last week and busy next week haven't (won't) let me do. it's worth my peace of mind next week.

plus buying adipex phentermine over the computer further away from the east side i can be today, the better. there is an anti-war protest going Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - on today, and they're meeting at 59th street and 5th avenue (near central park, the plaza, fao schwarz etc...), and then marching down to 57th street, across 57th street to 1st avenue and then down 1st avenue to the UN at 49th street. ok, remember where i live? exactly. they're expecting 100,000 people ... let me tell you, 100,000 people are not going to fit on 1st avenue in front of the UN. so i'm pretty happy to not be on the east side today.

going to Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - carnegie hall tonight to see orpheus. the tickets were given to me by a Buying adipex phentermine over the computer : friend and i'm so excited! i can't wait to see what it's like inside there.

i'll let you all know tomorrow.

Buying adipex phentermine over the computer

ok so new york is officially freaking out.

went to the grocery store last night to get dinner stuff and the entire bottled water aisle was empty.
then, buying adipex phentermine over the computer were guys playing tennis on the rooftop of the garage across the street from me. in 23F weather.
then there is a buying adipex phentermine over the computer in my lobby freaking out and calling 911 over some suspicious buying adipex phentermine over the computer hanging out in front of the building.
and now there are scrolling messages across the bottom of the news telling everyone to go buy Buying adipex phentermine over the computer, plastic sheeting and duct tape. ok, now that you've Buying adipex phentermine over the computer : said it, fat chance that anyone in new york city will be able to find Adipex online prescription : any at any store.

so i guess my compromise is to take Adipex online prescription : the bus instead of the subway, whenever i feasibly can. not being paranoid, but no sense in tempting fate, eh?

i mean, i have to live my life. as much as i might want to immediately move to some small town in northern ontario and pretend this all isn't happening, i can't. it would be letting the terrorists win.

oh well. time to head home. off to the bus.

feeling very creative lately. buying adipex phentermine over the computer not sure what's up with that ... perhaps it's a full moon?...
been up all night stamping, and although it's nearly midnight i'd rather stay up than go to bed ... but i want to be functional at work tomorrow ...

had a weird commute home tonight.

i Adipex online prescription, was feeling like doing Buying adipex phentermine over the computer, an altered book tonight ... so i stayed late a work to see if i could find one that inspired me in our book sale pile. found one. then realized that there is a line of paints that i've been tempted by but so far have managed to keep myself from, and the art store that happens to be on my way home had a set that was a selection of colours in small jars and perhaps tonight was the night to fall to the pressure. but the store closed at Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - 7 and it was 6:30 and i was still at work. no way i was going to get there before the store closed.

but i decided to head out and if i got there then maybe i was destined to have the set.

so out i went and hiked to the subway. weird ... i'm catching all the cross lights ...
onto the buy adipex p platform ... just as i got through the turnstiles and walked up to 'the spot' to be in the right car of the train, the train arrived. what's going on here?
train buying adipex phentermine over the computer crowded. my bag was heavy.
just as we got to 96th street, an express train buy adipex p and the car emptied as everyone ran across the platform to catch the express. snagged a seat.

then i Adipex online prescription - started thinking that maybe i was destined to have the buying adipex phentermine over the computer divine intervention perhaps? well i decided that i'd know when i got out at 59th street and started walking.
off Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - the train ... out of the station and yup! caught the cross light. into the store with 5 minutes to spare.

so off i go in pursuit. meander around quick but don't see the set. ask a Buying adipex phentermine over the computer, clerk who was a bit testy (can't totally blame him ... buying adipex phentermine over the computer probably wanted to go home) buy adipex p he pointed me to the bottles. 5.95 a piece. well, i had really been thinking about the set, and there was no way i wanted to Buying adipex phentermine over the computer, start collecting bottles of this stuff if i didn't know if i liked it (on the other hand ... the Adipex online prescription, set likely would cost more and perhaps one bottle would be a better way to experiment ... but all the colours to choose from!) ... so i ask about the set and the guy points me to the pearl ex. buying adipex phentermine over the computer what i wanted. so i kept browsing and still didn't see it.

so the store is closing and i head out. i walk to the bus stop and along comes a bus. so i start to ponder the divine intervention / destiny thing.

i have discovered that in new york, it becomes amazing what you will bargain with god for. when i was commuting home from east 79th street, i used to bargain for buy adipex p limited bus (as opposed to a local bus). then, when i would take the bus down to the lower east side, i'd bargain for a south ferry bus (as opposed to a houston bus). and clearly someone had a hand in my commute tonight ... but why if Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - they didn't have the set?

perhaps to prove to me that i don't need the buying adipex phentermine over the computer Adipex online prescription - if i'd missed everything and the store had been closed when i Adipex online prescription - got there, i'd still be wondering and would go by there tomorrow. but instead i got home early and have spent the night being creative and relaxed with the supplies i already own, instead of the one i would have spent more money on tonight.

didn't end up working on an altered book tonight, but made a bunch of cute stamped treats for friends. will scan them and post them when i've mailed the parcels and they've been delivered. wouldn't want to ruin anyone's surprise *hee hee*.

well, i'm now sipping some sleepy time tea in hopes of falling asleep. must stop thinking about all of the other creative things Adipex online prescription - i want to make tonight so i can relax and fall asleep.

night all!

raised terror alert, eh? lovely. the news just gets better and better every day.

for example.
commuting home from work saturday night. walking through the exit turnstiles at the 59th street/columbus circle subway station and what do i see? a pair of Buying adipex phentermine over the computer, police officers. not unusual ... it's a busy station where a lot of homeless people like to settle in for the night.

then i see another pair. and a cop with another guy in a uniform with a dog. US Corrections? with a dog? what are they doing? looking for an escaped convict? (not out buying adipex phentermine over the computer the realm of possibility ... the NYPD seem to have a hard time hanging on to their arrested citizens)

one buying adipex phentermine over the computer pair before i'm out of the station. well, it's always nice to know that new york's finest are working hard.

so i wake up this morning, turn buy adipex p the news, and hear about the latest worries from al-qaida are directly concentrated on the Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - subway system, and that the bomb-sniffing Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - dogs were out yesterday in the major stations.

US Corrections? i'll bet they were FBI and they put a fake coat on him so everyone wouldn't be freaked out by seeing FBI in the subway.

ok, so that's a bit freaky. but i have to go to work, so what Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - am i supposed to do?

so today buying adipex phentermine over the computer head over to work at Adipex online prescription : the sunday branch. it's not far from my apartment so i usually walk. (heck who am i kidding ... i usually take the subway 1 stop to get there but today that train wasn't running because of construction so i had to Buying adipex phentermine over the computer : walk). so anyway, i get to 5th avenue Adipex online prescription : and the police have 53rd street blocked off. i walk past, of course (got to get to work) and as i get closer to the library i can see further up the block and there is yellow and red tape blocking off the street past 6th avenue. when i got inside we buy adipex p questioned and speculated but no one knew what was up. we see it all on sundays ... street fairs, parades, movie filmings ...

so then i get home after work and relax. turn on the tv and catch the 10 buying adipex phentermine over the computer news (it's 10 pm ... do you know where your children are?) ...

so they start buying adipex phentermine over buying adipex phentermine over the computer computer talk about the subway threat and so on ... and then they say that they're watching 'soft locations' ... i.e. apartment buildings, hotels, etc. ... places that don't really have security normally. and, just to prove that point, they proceed to report on the story that an unattended package at the hilton caused the hotel to be evacuated for several hours today while the police checked things out.

the hilton. of course. it's located on Buying adipex phentermine over the computer : 6th avenue between 53rd and 54th streets.

within view of the library Buying adipex phentermine over the computer, i was working at today.

what am i to do? i have to go to work.

everything was ok at the hilton. thank god.

the official report:
"With the nation on a heightened terrorist alert, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Gov. George Pataki urged New Yorkers to continue with business as usual -- even as both said security measures would be beefed up."

yeah it freaks me out. but terrorism is simply meant to terrorize and i can't live my life in fear. i keep Buying adipex phentermine over the computer : hoping that if i ignore everything it will just go away. not the right attitude either, exactly. i need to find the happy medium between ignoring and terror.

on the lighter side ... it's going to snow tomorrow again. i'm hoping for a blizzard and a day off.

thank god for this report. we can all sleep better tonight.

The 11 Digit Dialing affecting the exchanges beginning with 2,3,4 or 5 has buying adipex phentermine over the computer fully restored. If you are still experiencing problems with the seven or eleven digit dialing, contact the Help Desk.

Thank you for your continued patience.

an update on the 10 digit dialing situation here ... did i mention that verizon announced this switch over a year ago??

This past Saturday, February 1, the new 11-digit dialing pattern went into effect for all local phone calls within New York City.

Verizon is buying adipex phentermine over the computer experiencing difficulty in deciphering some Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - of the calling patterns that have been implemented. They continue to troubleshoot some of the switches that are linked to the new system. Based on the information we have been given, some callers may still be buying adipex phentermine over the computer to use 7 digit dialing. Others, who are using the new 11 digit dial pattern, will hear a recorded message asking buying adipex phentermine over the computer to dial "1" plus the area code.

In an effort to resolve this issue, ITG along with buy adipex p are troubleshooting some of the phone exchanges that are not operating correctly. The numbers affected are numbers in the 212 area code with exchange beginning with either 2,3,4 or 5.
(ex: 1-212-234-XXXX). Please contact the Help Desk (212-621-0500) with any exchanges that buy adipex p are dialing that will not go through.

Again, your patience in this matter is greatly appreciated

well it's warming up here today ... it's actually 46F right now! don't i just wish i were outside instead of trapped in my office *hee hee*...

so here's the update on the 10 digit dialing ... officially from our tech support staff.

This Saturday, February 1, the new 11-digits dialing pattern went into effect for all local phone calls within New York City.

Verizon is experiencing difficulty implementing and deciphering the new system. Some callers may still be able to use 7 digit dialing. Others, who are using the new 11 digit dial pattern, will hear a recorded message asking them to dial "1" plus the area code.

You patience in this matter is greatly appreciated.

doesn't it just make you chuckle?

oh, and the confusion behind the 10-digit dialing name and the 11-digit dialing name ... seems no one can decide whether "1" is a number or not (as in 1, then the area code, then the number)... i'm sure there is a schoolhouse rocks episode that could help us out with this.

happy groundhog day!

well, it's not exactly happy, but it is groundhog day, and Wiarton Buying adipex phentermine over the computer : Willie has done his job and made his prediction ...

It was a dull overcast morning and
Wiarton Willie did not see his shadow!

complete details are available here ...

what is it with me and world events?

every time something buying adipex phentermine over the computer is happening, i'm doing something else.

the day the Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - towers fell, i was sleeping, and then was watching my soaps on tape instead of having a news buying adipex phentermine over the computer on the tv. i had no idea anything was happening until a friend came onto the computer and asked me if i was ok.

so today, i'm up early (god only knows why on my saturday off), and i have my usual morning tv on (NBC Buying adipex phentermine over the computer, Today Show) and they're playing hockey and having fun and what not.

and then it's 9 am so buy adipex p change the channel to nick so i can watch spongebob squarepants. away i work. away i work.

10 am and spongebob is over. flip the Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - channel to see what's on now and bam! CNN flashes onto the screen and what? a space shuttle has appeared to Adipex online prescription - break up in the air and crashed ...

back to NBC ... and it happened about buying adipex phentermine over the computer hour ago. probably at the exact Adipex online prescription - moment when i switched the channel to spongebob.

i suddenly have that feeling i had in the days following september 11th ... i can't change the channel off of the news because whenever i do, something happens.

i simply can't imagine what the astronauts must have gone through ... and what their families are going through.

my life truly is a seinfeld episode.

i have said in the past that Adipex online prescription - to truly understand seinfeld, you have to live in new york city. i have offended some of my friends with this Adipex online prescription - comment. they will argue me up and down that it's not true and that anyone can 'get it'. my response is that everyone can find it amusing buying adipex phentermine over the computer and even living in a big city will enable you to find it funny ... and you might think you 'get it' ... but by living in new york you not only get it, you're living it.

how many of you remember Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - the episode where kramer signs elaine buying adipex phentermine over the computer for buying adipex phentermine over the computer menu fax service? let me refresh your memory. elaine's phone then rings off the hook for days (she doesn't Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - have a fax machine, of course) ... so buy adipex p buying adipex phentermine over the computer her phone number changed. unbeknownst to her, new york city has adopted a new area code, and her number is now area code 646 instead of 212. every time she tries to slip her number to a guy, it's very confusing "do i dial 1 first? is this in new jersey? is this a long distance call?". so when an elderly Buying adipex phentermine over the computer - woman in her building dies, she arranges to take her 212 phone number. next thing she knows, granny's grandson calls to chat "didn't your mom or dad say anything to you about granny?". after a few days, elaine Adipex online prescription - fakes her death on the phone so the grandson will buying adipex phentermine over the computer calling ... and then the fire department breaks through the door (called by the grandson, of course). well, it's never a bad ending when the new york fire guys are on the scene.

anyway ...

so when i moved here and got buy adipex p 212 number, i was so excited. a few years ago, verizon was running out of numbers and decided on a new buy adipex p code. but no one could decide a fair way to Buying adipex phentermine over the computer : split up manhattan ... no matter how they tried to do it, Adipex online prescription : it was seen as a class thing, a social thing ... you name it they claimed it. everyone would want the 212 and whoever got it would have a higher status than the others. so, they decided to overlay it, and just give out new area codes as needed.

this meant that if i had a 212 and was calling a 212, i called it with 7 digits. if i was a 212 and was calling a 646, i called it with 10 digits (1+646+).

so now, all of a sudden, Buying adipex phentermine over the computer : on february 1 (today!) Everyone has to dial 10 digits. if i'm a Adipex online prescription : 212 and i'm calling a 212 i have to dial 1+212+ ...

well, this might get to be annoying.
