i am! Like I said I was a homebound breastfeeding mom and was gifted a box of books, lo and behold, there it was Burning man in a Jackie Collins book!

Ugly Dougly- I will bring you your own copy!!! ha ha Come by stag camp to pick it up, we can read the "good" parts over drinks, ha ha hah

I heard about Burning Man for the first time in a Jackie Collins novel, "Hollywood Kids" when I was in my early 20's, go figure!

forgive my choice of authors, I was a homebound breast feeding mom, ha ha.

My s.o. works in environmental clean-up they wear those all the time. Sister and I will be wearing ty-vek suits out on the playa (sans mask-tooooo spendy), look for us we'll be the ones that are looking like very colorful blinking spacemen!!! ha ha ha

Watch the popcorn sisters, I read today that butter flavoring is very very bad!!! Just like everything else fun and delicious!!!!

Thanks for bringing up this question, we were just wondering the price if ice, so we can budget accordingly.

Sister and I were at the local Dairy Mart and they were selling Pug sunglasses and goggles. We bought 6 pair, each frame a different color(to better coordinate with outfits and costumes hee hee), dark and clear lense syles. They fold at the bridge of the nose so they can fit in a pocket etc... fit w...

iNiers-Yay! I am all for getting together before the burn, I will talk to sister about her schedule. I know that we are going to Eugene, on Tues. Aug.5th (payday!) to do a little...or alot of shopping for our adventure, maybe we could get together and do lunch, check your datebook and get back to us...

Thank you, on behalf of all of us virgin burners, it is kind of nice to know that you all get stressed out about packing too even though you have been there, it sort of makes my obsessive searching,buying, sewng, packing etc... seem a little (I said little) less insane.

This is my first burn, and I also am feeling some anxiety, a state I am not used to. What if you leave "you" behind? Not the inner you, just the shy you? you could design your costumes around a personality you always wanted, or wear a mask, then you can be whoever you want! I have decided to be a pi...

o.k., but just 'til they go by....hey, where's my dress??? ha hah ha

Edit??Edit?? Shows how computer illiterate I am. How about those quote things you all do where the quote is in a little box, I think that one is cool...like I said computer illiterate...I am all about...........more.......... dots......... and smileys

Jebus, help me Jebus, Don't let the "vetran" kids put me in my locker the first day of Burningman, I so want to have fun, but I am afraid my tye-dye dress, lond braided hair and the drum on my back, will get me into alot of trouble with unaccepting people. What if I can't see the man burn from insid...

iNiers-I am soooo glad to know that you and Tom are o.k. I was wondering just the other day where you were and then you posted!

Lonestoner-looking forward to reading your e-journal of adventures!


right on mzfit- make Motsky's camp layout work easier staggers, put your camping info on tribe

skyneedle-is there anything that non-campers can gift towards your efforts?? My kids aren't going and we are not camping with any that I know of, but I know that I am going to miss my children terribly, (not all the time of course hee hee), so to see a few happy faces dancing with a popcicle or some...

gyre-you are obviously a well educated, articulate individual, and I hope to be able to put a face with the name in 30 some days whoo-hoo! I wanted also to ask if you wouldn't mind my kids reading our posts, I would really like to know their thoughts. I'm not trying to be "ugly" your words are very ...

gyre-it sounds like your educational experiences were not good for you, I am sorry. It takes alot of effort on the part of students, parents, and teachers to keep a school like ours productive and a positive environment, but it is of course worth it. Believe me my kids don't have trouble speaking in...

Wow-tough crowd, I only mentioned my children's educational choices about history, because that was the subect others were discussing. I didn't say my children didn't choose history, just that they could or not. I appologize if I have offended anyone, that was not my intention. My children love scho...

History class is something my kids don't have to study if they don't want to, they are blessed and attend a Charter school. They follow the Sudbury model of democratic education, and are allowed to choose what they want to learn. It is the only publicly funded school of this philosophy in the nation...

I can eat pizza!!!

Simon-I just just read this entire thread, and had to go and get a towel, no kleenex for me! Too small! I read alot of your posts and have been surprised, entertained, informed and once in a while alittle shocked, hee hee, :wink: just when i wish for a bar of ivory soap for your latest "snarky"? com...

On the topic of the murs radios, sister and I were wondering if we should invest in a set? Being virgins, and women we thought it would be a good way to stay in contact, in case of emergencies etc... No offense to our proud, mighty, stag family we know rescue is only a "holler" away, but we and the ...

You're soo cheeky!!


Let us have a moment of silence for our fallen burner who was unable to go


Let us thank the ticket gods who connected said burner and cheeky

cheeky- Are they using any Erickson aircranes, fighting the fires? (I used to teach the son of one of the executives) just curious. Bring on the massage table, Old Man!!!!! 2 months! 2 months! 2 months! Yes I'm excited ha ha ha does anyone have the "skinny" on the '08 survival guide?? I have read th...

Cheeky-I will confer with sister and l will get back to you on "getting a ride"! ha ha
Please be careful out there, we are getting the smoke clear up here in Oregon. If I hadn't learned about the cal. fires I would have thought cottage grove was burning! It's Smoky!

Cheeky monkey- hoping to see you on the playa!

Cars!?! Cars!?! You know i was watching the boob-tube the other night and saw a comercial that stated that the quality of a certain Ford car was equal in quality to a Toyota!!! THE American car company (according to my mechanic man) the one that started it all, now compares it's quality with a car t...

I was watching the news the other night and heard that E-10 can be hard on small engines (lawn mowers, weedeaters, chainsaws etc...) that have plastic parts it gums them up and the oil can't lubricate the machine causing it to seize up. The small engine repair guys have seen an increase in repair bu...

I am soooo relieved that there is no sex at Burning Man, now I can use my condom budget, for fuel to get there instead!!! Ah ha ha ha ha



Jezebe-you are so brave and free!

Me!!!! ahaa ha haa ha

while you're promoting this idea, why not have a terrorist carrying around an american serviceman's severed head, I mean part of the "american" dream is equality, so if you show one side shouldn't you show the other. I don't mean to sound like a bitch, and I hate this war, but I think if any of us w...
