This thread is for anything and everything that is important in your life...Talk about anime, school, movies, weather, job, your favorite this or that, what you like or don't like....this topic is wide-open.....

Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving? What is your favorite foods you like to eat at this holiday?

UUUHH, I messed up!! I have this in the wrong area!! :shock:

Can someone transfer this over to open topics? I just figured out how to create a thread.....

by **alhimika** » Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:29 pm

Hmmm...well favorite food this year would be sweet potatoes. I don't know why but I have been craving orange veggies for weeks and they seem like a good fix for that.

I am sooo glad to have a few days off from work. I have so much going on and having days to just take care of the extras are nice. I even scheduled a day to clean my house and an afternoon to help a friend clean hers.

We'll see what kind of progress I can make in either place in under a day. :mrgreen:

by **sas** » Thu Nov 24, 2011 12:46 am

We had sweet potatoes with our meal tonight. My husband and I have been cleaning house this whole week. I am fixing the ham in the morning, deviled eggs, along with a chocolate pie to contribute to the meal when we head over to his mom's. I hope you have a good one tomorrow.

And thank-you, "watcher of the forum" in putting this thread of mine under the right topic.

NEXT QUESTION

Anyone going to go see The Muppets? Or Twilight? Or Happy Feet? or, whatelse is on out there in movieland?

by **Celia** » Thu Nov 24, 2011 10:22 am

On the topic of Thanksgiving (because I have had no interest in any of the films out lately): I got it in my head this year that I was going to bring home the biggest turkey we've ever had. After checking every single turkey in walmart I found one for 24.43 pounds. Dad's been cooking it since early this morning. What is usually a 4-6 hour smoking process may take up to 12 hours because of how freaking huge this turkey is. Still, it will be worth it. Dad's maple-smoked turkey is awesome.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hopefully your dinners can be on time unlike mine. We may wind up having ours tomorrow at this rate. XD

by **sas** » Thu Nov 24, 2011 5:57 pm

OOHHHH, that is funny....that huge a turkey could collapse the center of the table. :shock:

Now wouldn't that be a Norman Rockwell moment to see a turkey that large on a platter, in the center of the table, as dear ole dad stands proudly with smoke burns all over him, as the legs of the table start bending, and the relatives look on with a knife and fork in each hand, with a picture above each head, of the part of the turkey they are getting, as the birds outside the window look on in horror of there distant cousin of sorts, be sacrificed.........give us an update of this event and how it unfolded after it was cooked

MODERATORS!!!!

Let's hear how your Thanksgiving went..did you have to edit, relocate, or remove any family members? :lol:

by **joshua** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 4:36 pm

Alright well here are my .02 about Thanksgiving.

I spent Thanksgiving with my friends and we went thanksgiving house hopping... so basically we went to a bunch of other houses and stuffed ourselves and then moved on to the next house. Thanksgiving x 5! I was so stuffed that I spent most of Friday in a food coma, but I did sneak online for a bit to do some black Friday shopping. There was plenty I wanted to buy, but ultimately I only bought some computer software upgrades that I needed.

How about the rest of you? Did anyone get killer Black Friday deals?

by **sas** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 7:38 pm

I don't know about killer Black Friday deals, but, I know Celia 24 lb. turkey that she shot, and dragged back for "good ole paw" to cook, broke one of the legs of the table from being so heavy.

by **Celia** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 8:13 pm

Thank gods it only broke the table and not my Dad's back. XD Actually, cooking it went eerily well. Dad woke in at about the 5 hour mark in cooking it, wide eyed and said "The turkey's done." It hadn't even thawed completely whenever he threw it in, despite brining for 24 hours before hand and sitting in the refridgerator all week. I didn't believe it until he took me out to show that the temperature gauge did, indeed, say it was done. He did need my help taking it inside, though. A half-week later, despite feeding half of it to the cats, and we've still got some left.

I didn't get to go out shopping on black Friday (the unfortunate part of living almost an hour from the metro), I am excited for cyber Monday tomorrow. Half-Priced Books has free shipping on their website tomorrow, which is where I'll probably spend most of my money.

by **sas** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:24 am

Celia, did your paw have black scorch marks on his face, and his hair standing straight up like it had been combed with a firecracker??? I heard about what your cat did.. Digging up Tom the Turkey's head :shock:

that you had buried in the backyard. Then your cat brought it in the house thru its cat door, and your mother screamed bloody murder when she looked down and saw tom's head hanging out of your cat's mouth as she was passing the giblet gravy.......

Joshua's Food Coma---what we call down in this area, Sunday lunch, and sleeping it off as if you were in a coma......

Black Friday....welll, our Super Walmart is located on the highway that is the busiest one in the south, because it catches all of Texas tourists, Kansas, and Missouri....and guess where they were stopping at at 12am Friday morning along with half the town......they were helping the workers unloading the products in the isles.....and buying them right out of the box, before they could get displayed.....what a messs.....

by **sas** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 1:22 am

WEll, did anyone buy a HUGE tv on Black Friday?

Is everyone getting there Christmas shopping done?

Is anyone going to go see War Horse, or TINTIN this Christmas?

by **alhimika** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 9:22 am

I skipped Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
I am currently still recovering from MLing for NaNoWriMo (organizing meetings, etc. for National Novel Writing Month). Now getting ready for the end of semester parties, concerts, service trips and more.

I am also excited to at last be able to start interviews for an open position in my office. Maybe there will be a different variety of work for me in the Spring. That would be nice.

I hope you all have a happy holiday season. I will continue to dream up possibilities for next November.

by **sas** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 11:00 am

are we talking about a combination of your work place and izumicon? Where do you work at? It sounds so exciting.....take pictures at these parties, trips, concerts, etc. and put them on this thread....

by **alhimika** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 12:05 pm

I don't tend to take a lot of pictures and currently do not own a working camera.

It is really a combination of work, personal/parenting, volunteer work, and con planning. The last time I counted the number of hats I wore on any given day of the year it was over a dozen different "titles" so it is difficult to distinguish between everything I was referencing to as, for example, the parties apply to at least 5 areas, concert 3...you get the idea.

I have tried to cut back on how much I do each year/day, but I'm not sure it's worked as well as I had hoped.

by **sas** » Thu Dec 08, 2011 1:32 pm

This will keep you young at heart youngling, and what a world you are surrounded in. It will never be dull......

by **sas** » Mon Dec 26, 2011 5:12 pm

Welllllll, how did everyone's Christmas turn out?.....were you good this year.....or not.....or sorta......or kinda....

CECILA-did you go out and find another 24lb turkey, or are you still eating off the Thanksgiving one?

JOSHUA- did you go back into a Food Coma?????

by **sas** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 8:14 am

Well, I'll be....it looks like the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXHOLIC has arrived on this forum. How was your Christmas this year? Did you get what you wanted? Did you surprise :shock:

Santa and his elves this year? I imagine I will be hearing from you after school today.....

by **xXholicXx** » Fri Dec 30, 2011 12:43 am

by **joshua** » Sun Jan 01, 2012 11:20 pm

I played it easy for X-mas... I had a flight to catch that night so there was no food coma for me...

I've started work on some cosplays I am thinking about doing this year... we shall see though.

by **alhimika** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 10:38 am

I had an absolutely fabulous Christmas including lots of new clothes. Now I am back at the office and in front of a computer rather than cleaning houses. Time for a fantastic new year and prep for the party on Saturday.

by **sas** » Tue Jan 03, 2012 12:26 pm

I wonder if Celia had to go out and find another 24 lb. turkey, since the size of her family seems alot. I wonder if she got a gun for just such occasions.....

Ron got me a digital camera....i am very dyslexic when it comes to instructions....I just found the pause button two years ago on the controller.....so, he gets me a digital camera??I am still trying to make it stop moving, which apparently, it is me, to take the picture....and I don't know if I can develp the pictures as I go along, or do I wait till the memory is full....or what. I got instructions in Japanese, spanish, and french..you can't make this stuff up.......

The Fallen Great King

Emperor Gabriel was always the indest person ever when his slaves **cough** **cough**, I mean citizens were loyal
But in the far away lands of Great, lived Empeor Gabriel's half brother, the Great King, GreatKing.
His brother would always give his people of cheese and apple juice, free corn and frozen roses to eat
When I the Emperor, kindly gave my men metalikin (99% metal, 1% chicken!!)
So as I looked upon my watch of AH
I noticed that it was time for the war of AHA HAHA HAHA!!!
Since the Emperor was always one to follow the rules of me
HE DECLARED WAR UPON THE GREAT KING AND ATE HIS FAVORITE HAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This act upset the King, so he waged war as well
The fierce battle lasted for exactly 10 hours and 99.3999999999999999999999999999999999999999 :mrgreen:

As the Magnificent Gabriel through forth his BOOK OF GABRIEL, the Great King was forever trapped or just untilhe responds to this most glorious of comments
And as the Supreme Ultamatim Prime Infinite Googleples Czar Emperor Gabriel was hungry
He happily turned Great King's people into cookies of peanutbutter
And at last, THE GREAT EMPEROR GABRIEL, could enjor some delicious cannibalookies of AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by **sas** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:49 pm

UUUUHHHHHH WELCOME FANS TO THE MIND OF GABRIEL, :shock:

who leaves you bugged-eyed of what he just described, and who forgot to look at his own thread Hello There, to see all the characters he was suppose to start with a story.....BUT, NEVER FEAR!!! HE WILL....HE WILL.....AND commense a story of lets go back and check a minute........................................of his people and how they were fed, and the warrior's that intruded into his kingdom, such as his brother, and people who lived in the village of nonsense.......

by **xXholicXx** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 12:45 am

OH DEAR THE MADDNESS HAS DECENDED UPON US ONCE AGAIN,
AS WE RELIVE OUR PAST LIVES
A MIGHTY LEGION HEADS TOWARD THE KINGDOM OF GHOP.
TO TRAMPLE AND STOMP.
WE WILL BRING DOWN THIS MIGHTY RULE.
WITH COURAGE AND A DUEL.
THE MIGHTY HOLIC STAND UP IN SPITE.
TO FINALLY BREAK THE EMPERORS LIGHT.
WITH A STAFF SHE TAKES FLIGHT.
YELLING FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
TOWARDS THE KINGDOM OF GHOP
WE SHALL TREK
UNTIL WE SHALL PREVAIL ONCE AGAIN.
BY BEING CUNNING AND MAKING A STAND.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA :] WELCOME MY BURNT COOKIE!

by **sas** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:00 am

Ole Holic, the statuque Black Winged Goddess of ole, seek out the list that is true, which is Hello There From Ghop, and you shall find Alhimika, who kills her enemies with kindness, our russian connection C.C.P, and his sidekick Fluffy, a guy, and moving to Otaku, who just came back from clomping down the road on her Chocobo playing her instrument in a Rose Bowl Parade, screaming Dum, Dum Da Dum.....and Rin flying in the sky on Mr. Wufflecakes, her dragon, who taught her how to fall on her face, as he lands on his side. Of course there is I, who will get her SAs's unicorn over here, that was presented to her from Rin. And we shall encounter the underground cookie monster, near the village of Nonsense, that Merlin, GreatKing's wizard, has been hiding from all his countrymen.

Hey FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST FANS, did you know there is going to be a Fullmetal Alchemist Movie shown at Bricktown at the Harkin Theater on January 20th? There is a thread about it under Open Topics. The title is Sacred Star of Milos. The tickets are 9 dollars. It starts at 7pm that Friday. You can buy your tickets at the theater like you would at any theater. The theater opens up on that Friday 11:30am, in which, if you want, you can buy them then. Here is the number to call\405-231-4747. When they get to asking about punch 2 for showings, punch two, and there will be a person to talk to. Ask them when they are going to put the tickets online, and make sure to ask them to give you the website to type that goes straight to the tickets. FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST FANS, let's all join in this gathering,,,,,,

now back to the Village of Nonsense....

by **wolfclan87** » Wed Jan 11, 2012 7:01 pm

OK there's a new site up and running called ChaoticCosplayCorp.com it's for anyone who loves anime, manga, games, and movies. Swing by and enjoy the fun. ^^

by **sas** » Sun Jan 22, 2012 3:51 am

WHO WENT TO SEE THE FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST MOVIE?
Give us all the important details like....

1. was the popcorn good?
2. did they sell Milk Duds?
3. WAs the pop perfectly balanced so your fountain drink didn't taste like carbonated water on ice?
4. did they sell hot dogs?
5. If so, were they good?

Now the movie

1. was the movie good?
2. did Edward look like Edward?
3. did the plot make sense"
4. was the background in "pretty colors"?
5. were the seats comfortable?
6. are you all having fun with all the asinine questions? :shock:

iamgoingtocrawlbackinmysickbed......

by **wolfclan87** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 12:43 am

I did *raises hand*

1. the popcorn was good but too much made my lips tingle.
2. ... not really sure didn't look
3. yes the soda at the theater was really good.
4. yes but I didn't get one.
5. idk

About the movie:

1. depends I found the storyline of the movie very good but the design of the characters was something to be desired
2. Yes Ed looked like Ed, but when the air and stuff was movie it didn't move much.
3. Yes the plot did make sense it just didn't fit in with the series. The movie was a movie all on it's own.
4. Now by preety colors do you mean were they clean and crisp or are you asking me if they were technocolor? I don't remember taking anything for a trip like that. lol jk. The colors in the background was very well done.
5. (what's the seats got to do about the movie?) well to answer that question yes the chairs were comfortable.
6.Yes and know, I don't really care for them but it's nice to have an input about it. lol

Feel better sas.

You are so silly...and I am far too busy...and hungry this morning. Maybe my workout was more intense than I thought? or I need to drink more. Where did I put that water?

by **sas** » Thu Jun 07, 2012 11:09 am

well now, I am thinking of some crisp bacon, which means, I shall go fix some bacon....perfect for an after workout snack.....

by **alhimika** » Thu Jun 07, 2012 2:06 pm

Tifa and Josh have been doing a lot of work to get the new site up.

by **sas** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 11:42 pm

The information about mass producing your own manga. (this is from the facebook forum)

I sent a message to a friend of mine from Dallas. He writes his own manga. I told him about you needing some kind of guidance on mass producing your own original manga. When I hear from him, which should be soon, I will let you know. He has given instructions before in the past in helping one of my friends, but, I always ask him first if he can assist me. He is so darn busy, that is why I do this. If he says his schedule is all clear, then I will get with you, and direct you to him..Suggestion...have your long list ready to start typing when you send your message to him.
