Last night, just as the front door got really busy, the phone rang. It was one of my best friends that I haven't talked to in a while. So, I am in the dilemma-wanting to see all the trick-or-treaters or talk to my best friend. Carlos was taking care of the door. My friend said that she realized the time after I answered the phone. (She is in Alaska.) I talked to her for a while but then told her that I should get going. I'll call her back in a bit.

HA! I hate it when that happens when someone calls on the phone and the doorbell rings at the same time.

Yeah, because we turned the light on on the FRONT porch-and kept the light off on the SIDE porch. We usually use the side porch. We used to hand out the candy there but a few years ago, we thought it would be easier to just use the front. However, I think early in the evening (before it got dark), someone did come to the side door but soon realized they had the wrong door.

The same kind I get EVERY year-Hershey's. I get 10 bags of the regular snack size. :o :o :o :o I also get a bag or two of peanut butter cups for Carlos and a bag or two of the Hershey's with almonds for me. But, they didn't have the ones with almonds.  :\'( :\'( :\'( So, I got a bag of the regular for me. Of course I will steal a few of the peanut butter cups.  ;)

We get so many kids that we usually run out even with 10 bags.  :o :o :o I think last year was the first year that we DIDN'T run out.

Love my daughter to death for cooking dinner tonight.  The only problem is she salts stuff to death and I can't get her not to salt so much until it is done.  I don't like my food too salty.

I agree.... On the other hand, I can not get my husband to taste the food before he salts it (and sometimes I think it is too salty anyway)

Sounds like my child.  The sad part about the whole dinner is she came to me and said "I know, it was too bland"  :o  I am thinking the child needs a salt lick. ;D

I don't care for salt either. (Read the very first post in the Rant thread.) I have "trained" my "chef" not to use salt in his cooking. He keeps the salt on the table and uses it there because he knows I don't like it.

Carlos has a doc appointment today. When he gets home, we will know if his doc & his wife will be coming over for dinner tonight. Later this afternoon, we will go and vote and then tonight, we will be glued to the t.v.-whether we have guests or not.



For all of you in the U.S. PLEASE remember to vote! It is VERY important and it is extremely important NOT to vote Republican this year. They are trying to take away our democracy.

My kitchen is being deconstructed to make way for the new kitchen...  8)

I am not going to get granite countertops, or the undermount sink  :\'(  to save a grand or so (I just wanted the "sale" granite).  But at least it is a new kitchen, that will be open to the rest of the house.

Some day I'll get my kitchen done, get rid of the "formal" dining room and make a nice big kitchen.

I hope your new kitchen turns out much better than our new kitchen. We have to have it redone and I hope we can do it before it falls apart-SERIOUSLY. It really is falling apart already. The guy was served by the sheriff (again) to either pay us right away or appear in court on Dec. 2nd. He failed to appear once already.


Sorry, don't mean to give your our horror story. Just don't pay your contractor UNTIL the job is done to your satisfaction.

I have Bertch cabinets they are Cherry wood with Chestnut finish and a black glaze  in St Thomas style ..
The countertop is a faux slate laminate (a gray-green, rust type of coloring),  I am putting sheet copper for the backsplash (I would love glass tile - but I am trying to cut some costs and I LOVE copper - the tiles I want are copper on the back of glass... but oh well).  I got lucky with the cabinets, they are a display model that the contractor wants a new display - so we got custom cabinets (solid wood) for 1/4 of the cost...  They made a plan to fit into our kitchen.  We are taking out a wall, and I will have an island in between our kitchen and dining room (which is open to our living room).  We have a stainless fridge, but our stove is white (10 years old- but won't replace at this time, due to cost)...  I am not sure about wall color - I am thinking a rust brown or red - but maybe not it maybe all too dark, so I will lighten it up...  Flooring???  I picked it out, but it was again being discontinued at Menards, and hubby never wanted to drive  to pick it up at a store that had enough for the kitchen all of the same die lot (and they wouldn't ship it).  So again not sure.  I am just trying to get my bang for my buck and make it look nice.  I have to buy a new microwave, as it is going to be wall unit.

As luck would have it the main actors from psych are on UCSB campus today. They are promoting the new season by screening next weeks premiere ep tonight. It's a ten campus tour and, I guess because the show is "set" in SB, UCSB is one of the lucky campuses to get them.

It's a student only event - no staff allowed period. Thank god I have friends in high places who can help me break the rules!!!

most of the stuff I go to is general admission so I get in line early.  Come to think of it you probably couldn't handle it.. I've waited in line 12hrs for a 2 hour event.  ;D  but I always- well almost always.... have the best seats in the house.

It's gonna be red Friday for me.  :\'(

I had a great time!  600 college students screaming my ear was a little uncomfortable but I had a great time.  

The episode of Psych that airs next Wed. on USA at 10 PM is gonna be AWESOME!!!!  (especially for long time fans)  

Dule Hill and Steve Franks remembered me from Paley! Steve Franks gave me a large poster that I got signed by James Roday, Dule Hill, Steve Franks (creator/producer/writer/director of Psych)  and I also got two other producers to sign it... they didn't believe I wanted their autograph but ya' know me... I'll get 'em wherever I can find 'em!  :D


did I mention the event was FREE and on campus on a day I worked so I didn't use any extra gas to get there?

FYI - 3 weeks till black friday  8)


I never shop on Black Friday. I enjoy my sleep too much to get up at 4AM to shop.  ;D

Heeck I have to leave my house at 3:30 to go!

I usually work at 7 am on Black Friday... this year is no exception....one of these years tho I'd like to have the day off and have money to spend...  sadly I'd buy me stuff rather than go christmas shopping.

No. Turkey sandwiches are strictly a day after thanksgiving meal. It's a law or something.  Same goes for turkey soup.

Turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce sandwich is pretty much a staple between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

My computer was out of commission for a couple of days, after 4 years of abuse the hard drive died, so now I have a new hard drive and lost everything in the old hard drive.  My question is, should I have asked for the old hard drive back when they replaced it...AND now I have to get all the font and password settings back to normal.  He upgraded the operating system so it is kinda new to me.

As nally said, it is usually best to keep either a spare external hard-drive or CDs to back files on (DVD-RWs are good for handling large files like music or video files).

In my opinion, the man should have given the hard-drive back to you automatically or at the very least assured you the drive would be responsibly disposed of, Danoota. A used hard-drive, broken or not, is a very personal thing and still holds information valuable to people who want to use it for their own ends. I am not saying this man would do such a thing but, in this day and age, you just don't know.

When I worked at the uni one of the shops there did a lovely turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce roll.  tasty!

Tonight we are going to the university to see the student organised firework display.  It is usually a good display, I just hope it doesn't rain or get toocold because they never start on time!

They also have a fairground but I don't know if you have to pay for the rides or not.  If you do we probably won't because next week is the annual street fair, which will be much bigger.

I hear ya. I have EXTREMELY sensitive teeth. I eat/drink anything cold and I hit the ceiling. The dentist puts stuff on my teeth that really helps. I can actually eat a cherry tomato right out of the refridge when he puts that stuff on. (Had to fight big time to get him to use it.)

Ice-cream must be a real pain in the neck to eat, eh? People think I'm daft when I blow on icecream before I eat it but, in my mind, my breath is warmer than my ice-cream so it helps neutralise it a bit..,Well, it still feels cold so it must be psychological, lol.

My teeth are crooked but I have been very fortunate that I don't have any problems with them (so far *taps wood*).

Actually, it is fairly easy for me to eat ice cream because I don't need my teeth for it. However, if the ice cream DOES hit my teeth, it does hurt. It is the cold stuff that I have to bite into that really hurt.

Sorry Cat, I seem to remember that in passing on another thread a while back.  I should have trusted my gut on this one.  :-[  That is why I put it out as I did.  The Good Lord may not have blessed you with your own but I am sure that the grand kids are a great joy to you and in that way you are indeed still blessed.  Karma comes your way for putting up with my untimely sense of humor.  In hindsight I can see this as coming off cold or offensive - it was not my intention to be so.  I am sorry if I made you hurt in any way.

You didn't hurt me in any way what so ever. Most days I am fine that I never had any kids of my own-but there are some days.... :\'(  But, those 5 little ones (well, a few of them are not so little anymore-the oldest is 7) are just wonderful. A few months ago, I ask Carlos "When do I get used to being call 'Grandma'?"  :D ;D ;D  You should check out some of their photos in the "Show us your family" thread.

Cat thanks for your understanding and karma.  I have an anniversary of sorts this month...

I enlisted in the USAF on the 12th of November and flew to Lackland AFB, Texas on that day to enter boot camp.  I won't say what year it was but we were fighting the Vietnam War at that time.

The people are far more advanced then me and I haven't got myself to practice though.  I don't know if I told any of you that I've started a medicene for depression.  Wont really know for a month if it really helps me with anything, but if it helps my chemical imbalance in any way then it's a plus.  I've made a few changes in my diet.  People with ADHD cant digest pasteurized milk.  Sugar can bring on some real bad mood swings.  Another one they mention is stay away from yellow.  I've changed from a light butter popcorn to a salt and lime popcorn.  Smells like frootloops in the microwave.

No,the president lives there.

We had a great time on Saturday night at the fireworks display.  Except, as predicted, they started the main show late and it was cold standing around waiting.  They changed the location of the display this year and good viewing locations were limited.  The organisers kept asking the crowd to move to the far end but no one would go there because you end up stood behind 20-30 foot tall poplar trees!

Then we cycled home and set off our own fireworks and waved a couple of sparklers about.  two or three doors away had some huge fireworks which really overshadowed our £5 box.  But the kids said ours were the nicest because they were done with the family!  bless 'em. 


today the weather was foul.  Cold and wet cycling to school/work and my fingers still feel achey/sensitive.  After work I cycled to James's school for an open afternoon.  I worked with James making viking longboats out of plasticine and then one from paper, card and a half a juice carton.  All the mums were having fun colouring the cardboard shields in!

We cycled home and made hot chocolate.  Complaints from the kids about the lack of marshmallows and cream  ::)

I don't know anyone who puts fruit loops in the microwave either, I'm just trying to say that you can really smell the lime in the popcorn when it's in the microwave ;)  I'm still figuring out myself ADHD wise and depression.

I'm sure everyone was sick of hearing my saga of my fight with my stupid computer. I know I was when I FINALLY broke down and bought a new one in Aug. Now this morning, my brand spankin' new computer WILL NOT TURN ON!!!!!! I called the Geek Squad. That wasn't much help-just had me reset things and of course that didn't work. So, the next thing-bring it into Best Buy. The problem is, Best Buy is at least an hour & half away from here-ONE WAY and looking outside, everything is white-no not snow, but SLEET! We are not going anyway today. So now I am on the laptop. (I am really glad that I bought this last year otherwise I would be going bonkers right now.) The thing is, I really hate how we have the laptop set up. We still don't really have a desk for it and is using a t.v. tray stand for it.

Just wondering if you tried turning it ( computer) on again. Same result? Just that little red light but no power? no weird crackling noises?

Yuk...

I went to my meeting and they asked me what my favorite thing to do is.  I had my bean bag balls with me so I got to show off my juggling.  On my way home, I stopped at the store to get something and bought myself a The Who CD.  I get to leave the house and go to another meeting tomorrow.

Wow 5:00,  I went to my meeting this morning and came back and fell asleep until now.

Hi again.  I'm slowing down to post some.

Too much was (and actually still is) going on with my life.  Not only with everything that went on this past summer with my aunt and the devastating trip back to Cali, but I had to have two surgeries to repair my lap band, and dog willing, it will stay in place this time.  I've also been doing quite a bit of traveling to see my friend in Michigan, and now I'm planning a Turkey Day trip to NOO YAWK with the fam.

So yeah, I'm back.  I know you're thrilled.

Poor Patty.  :(

Not sure if they do this in America but I had a friend who had a wound that would not heal and they packed it with this particular sort of seaweed. Don't know the medical ins and outs, but in a nutshell, it helps the skin heal itself. It took quite a few weeks but it worked!! She said it was kind of weird but after that long with a gaping wound she didn't care.

It used to read "horses or cows", but an amendment to the law in 2008 changed the wording after that "incident" in Wilson's farm, which I cannot mention.

I packed the computer up. We will be leaving here in about an hour & a half or so and drive north. We are going to stop at Best Buy and hopefully, they can fix the computer-and if not, be able to extract what is on it and give me a new one. I am worried about losing my "stuff." Then we are going to the kids house-have dinner with them and then we are going to see 1964, a Beatles tribute band. We saw them once before. They are pretty good. We will be spending the night with the kids.

Good Luck fixing the computer.

Not you as well??, I ought to start shipping the mint ones over to the U.S I'd make a fortune!  ;D

I'll be away from the boards for a day or two, away visiting some friends. :)

Got to Best Buy yesterday and had to do something that I really didn't think about-stand in line for the Geek Squad. (There were only 2 geeks.) There was a really nice lady who was waiting behind us. Come to find out her son is a freshman at OUR college-so we had that in common and we talked for a while as we were waiting. When we finally got to talk to a geek, he opened the computer and said that it was possible that a wire had come loose. I was hoping soooo bad that that was the problem. No such luck. Because I bought the service contract, he had to send it off to be serviced rather than just giving me a replacement. I did buy an external hard drive so they can extract ALL my data out of. So, we left Best Buy without my computer.  :\'( :\'( :\'(

We got to the kids' house at the time we needed to leave for dinner. The restaurant that we went to was nice-food was good (been there once before) but service was AWFUL!!! I swear we had the slowest waitress in Burlington. First she forgot to bring us silverware. She also forgot to tell us to help ourselves to the salad bar (which we did anyway). We waited forever for our food. To be fair, it may not have been her fault. It could have been in the kitchen. After we FINALLY got our dinner and finished eating, we decided to have dessert. We ordered and then waited FOREVER again. By this time, it was getting closer & closer to the time when we had to leave. Carlos flagged her down and told her to bring our dessert because we were in a hurry. 10 minutes later we STILL didn't have our dessert!  >:( >:( >:(  Carlos finally went up to the desk and said to wrap it to go because we HAD to leave. The kids stayed to eat their desserts (she finally brought it AFTER Carlos paid-and the two of us were walking out the door). How long does it take to cut a piece of pie? Carlos didn't leave her much of a tip.

As we were driving to the concert, we missed it and had to turn around. There wasn't a lot of traffic and we were wondering if we had the right day or not. We finally found it. As we were walking in, the first person I saw pass right in front of us was our governor.  :o :o Carlos didn't see him but I pointed him out. The place wasn't very crowded like it had been for past concerts. (BTW, this was a firefighter fundraiser.) We were able to get good seats. We sat down, took off our coats and just after getting settled, the lights went out. We got there RIGHT ON TIME!

The concert was REALLY good. The opening act was a guy named Andy Childs. He sounded like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, & Willy Nelson. NO SH!T!!! He did them ALL just great! During intermission, we bought his CD and which he signed. The main act, 1964 The Tribute, we saw once before (we saw Andy Childs before, too). They were good. It was almost like seeing John, Paul, George, & Ringo on stage. They sounded like them and looked somewhat like them. They had their mannerisms down. It was way cool. We also danced. Yeah, I took a bunch of photos. I'll post them later. After the concert, we went back to my step-daughter's place for the night and had our dessert.

Since it will be a while until I get the computer back, I hooked the laptop up to the cable hookup so we now have faster internet.

I have a mint one.  and I'm open to offers!

We've been having some computer issues.  I'm trying to persuade Dai we need to do something radical like actually get the thing looked at instead of putting up with various problems.

Anyway.  Every year at this time our town holds a fair in the town centre.  Yesterday we let Elizabeth loose with some friends and some money!  It was by way of a birthday party - she turns 12 on Tuesday!

Dai and I walked around the fair with James and went on some rides with him.  His favourite was Magic Mouse which is a roller coaster with individual carriages holding four people.  The track has really tight turns on it and for part of the ride the carriage is free to spin like a waltzer (not sure what the US equivalent is).

Afterwards everyone came back to the house for pizza and a movie.  Except we couldn't get sound on the DVD so we played Pictionary instead.  I think that was more fun than watching the film would have been.

Today was Rembrance Sunday and both children paraded through the town to the war memorial.  Elizabeth laid a poppy wreath on behalf of her Scout Group.  It got cold standing around outside for a couple of hours.

I'll be away from the boards for a day or two, away visiting some friends. :)

My boss just texted me to tell me there is no power at the office right now.  Is it too much to wish that it will still be off tomorrow when I get there? ;D

They had to cut the power to the switch that controls our kitchen lights (and dining room) - as that wall is coming down.  Funny thing, my husband was here, the tv's didn't even blink.  But we have no lights in both bedrooms (except the girls closet works), 1 bathroom, and the living room (along with kitchen and dining room)... Luckily some of the outlets work, so we have lamps, but really sorta difficult getting ready in the morning.  I am a little bit thankful for time change right now.

I'm on my phone and need to get ready for training. I'll read the rest later cat (only got thru 1st P

Anyway. Glad you got an external hard drive. It always worried me that you were using the lap top as your back up data storage system.

Running latex gots to get ready. Shoulda been dressed by now but still need to shower.

That looks about the same thing.  The kids remember more it being like some Prehistoric Spin (or similar name) in Universal (or maybe it was Disney)

It was off in my room only.  We ended up with extension cords strung all over the room.  It was very interesting.

Back for a few minutes...I needed a bit of a break from the boards. Last Sunday I went to a retreat and had a nice relaxing time...I've managed to get other things done too.

Hope everyone else is doing fine.

Sounds like my house...  We have no ceiling lights, since they cut the power to the kitchen wall (except the dining room that they hard wired on, and a closet light and my bathroom)...  Some of the outlets don't work, miraculously the tv's do and we are stringing extension chords around.

Thankfully it was just a breaker in our case.  We had to wait a couple of hours for the building maintenance, though.  No one in our office knew where the main breaker box was so we couldn't flip the right breaker.  We searched it out when the lights came back on. ;D

Finally home.  Discharge Nurse was a bit scattered.  She started to work on paperwork to discharge me, then stopped to do just a few things, forgot to give me my insulin shot until hours later and finally finished the process 5 hours later.  I was just about ready to jump behind the desk and do the damn paperwork myself.  ::) ;D  Yeah, not feeling much better and it hasn't helped my demeanor any either.  lol

I DO thank my friends here for your well wishes and love.  And for anyone keep score, this was hospital stay #4 in 2010.  I've really got to get me another hobby.  lol  ;D

If anyone sees the movie "Unstoppable" starring Denzel Washington "Scranton, Pennsylvania" in the movie is, in reality, the town I grew up in (Bellaire, Ohio) not that it really matters all that much either way.  I may start a thread on movie fables, but pretty tired tonight.

Tell Elizabeth that we (Carlos & I ) said "Happy Birthday" and we hope that she is having a FABULOUS day. You can also tell her that I REALLY love chicken cordon bleu, too.

Happy birthday Miss Elizabeth! 

Today is Elizabeth's 12th birthday.  We did all the party stuff at the weekend but Dai bought her a treat for breakfast (pain au chocolat) and we cooked her favourite dinner (chicken cordon bleu).
Her Birthday sounds wonderful, starts off with chocolate and ends with rich food (I have never made Chicken Cordon Blue - I will need your recipe Karen).  Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

I remember getting teeth pulled in 1985 when I needed braces.

Sackatomatoes?

I can't wait for this weekend!  1) I get paid (once a month checks suck, but I am thankful I have a decent job) 2) I got reimbursed for my meal expenditures last month at national convention (so it is like I got some free money) - so I am getting a new phone (deciding if I should stay with Att or go with Verizon - so new iPhone or Droid???).  My phone is completely lagging and is having all too many glitches.  3) It is the weekend!

BTW - WalMart (online only) has a blue ray disc player on sale for $65... It is an early black friday thing.  (if you are willing to stand in line on black friday, best buy has one for 59 - but I have been burnt at best buy too many times). So online seems better for me

Sackatomatoes?


It's a small town in California.

Sackatomatoes?


My best guess based on her location. Sacramento.

Hi everyone it's ninny , I'm using my sisters comp.,mine is still broken >:(. I hope you are all doing well..I hope to be back online soon or at least after Christmas

Welcome back. You have been missed.

Thanks for all the good wishes for Elizabeth.  She had a great day.


(I have never made Chicken Cordon Blue - I will need your recipe Karen). 


Go to the supermarket and buy ready made!  Actually I made it once or twice when we lived in the US because supermarket ready made was so much more expensive than it is here.  I can dig out the recipe if you really want me to.

are they prepackaged and come in the freezer isle individually wrapped.  Those are good, but I always thought it would be better if I could make the stuff (perhaps not)

In the UK they are sold two to a packet in the fresh meats section.    I never spotted them in the freezers in the US.

I'll PM you the recipe I've used.

Yes they have a processed, frozen food.  Can get them for 2 for 5 alot of times (still seems expensive for a family of 4). They also have chicken Kiev and broccoli cheese (sorry q)...  I will look in the fresh food.  I have never seen them, but if the price is high that might explain why I skip right over them!

Gonna get my flu shot today. I know I've been putting that off for some time now, but today I'mma get it done.

They do have them here. I have bought them many times -well, when I lived by myself. Now Carlos does the shopping but he does make them himself-just without the breading-which is fine by me because I actually prefer them without the breading.

I woke up this morning and I farted, and it sounded just like that stupid muskrat sound effect from that lame 70's "Muskrat Love" song by the Captain and Tennille. So I had to walk around for a half-hour while I was getting ready for work with that song stuck in my head until I could get out the door and into my car and turn on the radio.

I gave him karma too.  ;D

TGIF!

But today is going to be such a rough day!  I have potluck, my 8th grade exploratory's last day!  My husband got an emergency call last night (something was wrong with one of the units) so he had to go in at 12:00 ( he has a habit of falling asleep at the wheel) so I worried a bit (he stayed there and slept on the table, so I didn't have to worry back)... Last off my husbands uncle (to an aunt, I am not really crazy about - as she reminds people who her blood is and my husband was adopted by her brother, his father died when he was three), is laying in hospice with pneumonia that will end his life at anytime.  As he has severe alzheimers, suffering from severe dementia and had several small strokes, the end was near.  They are not treating the pneumonia, or intubating, they are keeping him comfortable with morphine...  It is all sad and hard and I hope he can find peace soon, as well as hubby's aunt.  I just hope she does not expect me to be her friend (they had no family of her own).  I have watched her rain down presents on our niece (the blood in the family) and give my girls 2nd hand store items!  I have watched her say at our nieces baby shower, well you know she is our only blood...  I have no patience for that, as I was a step/half family myself!  I have been treated with more respect by my mothers ex husband (my sisters and brothers dad) than she has ever shown!  I loved her husband who was a kind, hardworking man, who would sit and talk to me at family reunions...  She is a control freak with hoarder tendencies (her house has a trail), who wants people to believe that she is a good christian, that is loving and caring...  I won't let her control my life, my children's lives (she has tried to tell me what I should and shouldn't do), and that is the way it will always be! 

I guess I have ranted enough!  Today is filled with blessings and hardships, I have to trust that someone will make it the best of what it is!

You are right to feel the way you do.  The woman is mean spirited and your family is better off away from her.  I find forgiveness an overrated virtue.

Thanks.  She, and others, do not see what is wrong.  My husband says, that just the way it has always been.  I find it completely hateful, and demoralizing, my children know no different than the others (they know she is their aunt).  I am half tempted to say out loud and tell them "but not by blood".. . Figuring I would look like the b--ch, I have decided against it.  But so help me if she confronts me, I will not hold back on letting loose.  She is not my blood, in no way shape or form... I am just an out-law.  :P

I don't understand how anyone can be that way. I think EVERY family have members who are "not by blood." Can you say, "In Laws"? There are also remarriages, adoptions, etc. etc. Blood does not make a family. All my grandchildren are "not by blood" but I couldn't love them anymore than I already do. And Carlos' kids-they all know that they can come to me for ANYTHING. In fact, several times my youngest step-daughter has called to talk to ME-not to Carlos.



Cat

That aunt's a bitch and personally I'd be happy not to be blood related to her.


I have been in a tactical dispatching class all week. Fortunately it was local and I didn't have to be away from Effie and my TiVo.  ;)

It was a great class. The best part, aside from role playing an actual hostage negotiations scenario with a loccal swat team yesterday is that the class was supposed to end today at 4
but we were all so awesome we got out at 1015! 

I had one load of dirty clothes in the car with mr. Ove been trying to do laundry for two weeks but have been lazy. Anyway. I'm washing it now. Should be in the dryer in 5 minutes the so I'll be  out of here by 1. And I have the weekend off so my weekend starts 3 hrs early

Only thing I can't figure out..... Why are there kids in a laundrymat at 1150 on a Friday.

Yeah it's been a pretty intense class basically I've checked in vreifly in the morning at lunch and ibthe evening but have been too tired to hang out.

Also, things have been pretty difficult at work again so I'm gonna try and stay off here while there because, while it's not frowned upon or anything. People are watching my every movement trying to get ammo on me. Have I said lately how much i hate that bitch I work with and her possee?    >:(

My point exactly, except obviously for this family... Hellla they all live within 5 miles of one another.  I would do a lot of things for a lot of people, but not her I am as uncomfortable around her as anything!  My family, I have 2 brothers and 1 sister, really they are my 1/2 but if I would call them that we ALL would be offended.  They are what I have, and I am proud of them.  Now the set on my fathers side, that I never was much around 2 1/2 sisters and a 1/2 brother, that is what they are!  nothing else!  But for someone to say that about a legally adopted child (by father) is horrible.  Nothing like making them feel less of a person, not worthy; is unforgivable.  I have stayed quiet because that is my husbands battle, not mine (and he just has not much to do with her - which also doesn't get us invited to dinner often).  But to say my girls are not blood, to people that is where the hair started standing straight out on my neck.  It WILL come to words, I just hope I have the patience enough to not make it at the wrong time!  :P

Yep, my thoughts exactly...  Unfortunately to most people she seems a good christian, saint, who gave 25 years of her life to teaching 6th graders and is a loving soul.  She is, if you let her control your life; she is full of all sorts of helpful advice at that point :P  Unfortunately (Fortunately)  her husband is expected to pass within 24 hours

Oh and ....
Because they made their schedules so that they didn't have classes on Friday.

Hang in there girl. The bitch ain't worth it to see you mad. You are better than her and just pretend nothing is happening. Try not to let her rattle you.

I went to the Collin Raye concert last night and got to meet him!  I have been in love with him for years so it was like a dream come true.

 First we were walking to an ATM and passed the door to the back stage area.  It was open and someone was going in.  I looked at one of them an he looked really dang familiar.  It clicked as he went in that OMG it was HIM!  I about had heart failure.  Then I was able to participate in the meet and greet after the show.  It was so cool...he was very friendly and took the time to talk to everyone.  He asked what my name meant and told me that he liked it because there was a story.  The autographs I got were personalized.  Then, of course, we got a picture.  I will post it in the celeb thread.  It was a great night!

Yay sounds awesome!  O0

Sami I don't think these kids scheduled Fridays off they were all part of the same family and mom either kept them out of school or they don't go to school at all. And these were not homeschool kids.  It's sad Sally. But they were totally obnoxious so I was more annoyed that they were bugging me than I was at the fact they weren't being educated.

Howard thanks for your kind words karma to ya. And I'm sorry charli browns is closing.

Frank. Thanks I try. But you know as well as anyone that a hostile work environment is difficult to ignore.

Cat thanks for the hugs.

Dag. I still don't one who Collin raye is but I'm really glad you had a GSA time. Those experiences aare the best.

Oops... When you said it, I automatically thought you were speaking of college kids at the laundromat. Terrible situation, we have a student (and a sister) who has so far missed 30+ days of school this semester, and they are all excused cause his parents/mom calls him in. But how are we to educate him, he is failing.  Another student a father took his kid out of school last year for 3 weeks, because they were going to the Daytona 500 (last I checked that is only a 1 day race - oh no.. got to go to time trials and all the crap before it) Yep I am sure that was worth his kid failing school.  People need to figure out what is education and what is not.  Only if parents find education important are kids even going to begin to understand.

Glad you survived!

My grandmother was mean...  I remember her making brothers and sisters hate each other, by how she twisted a story.  She always had to be the center of attention.  I guess when my mother was little, she would run off for months (and take a bottle of pills with her, so people thought she might have committed suicide)... Crazy, dramatic broad...  BUT SHE HAD THE NICEST OF EVERYTHING!

lets see, tomorrow I pick up a refill of medicene and in a little while get to decide if it's really doing anything for me.  I've changed my attitude on my own.  I think the depression it psychological.  I need help with memory and distraction.  The 23 rd I have a Drail meeting. the 24th I have a Drail meeting and My aunt Rosie and uncle Mike are coming up with the turkey. Aunt Mo and uncle Mel will be over too, I just don't know if they'll be coming on the 24th or not.  On the 26, Rosie wants to take me back with them for 3 or four days.

I just realized that it was two years ago today.  :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(

{{{hugs}}} from me as well.

Sorry for your sad anniversary Cat.  My thoughts are with you and your family.

Why does the dang store who has the video girl barbie the cheapest (and free shipping) have to be already sold out. :(.  Do I really need to pay $20 more???  Or can I wait till Friday to pick it up?  Dyam

Sorry for your sad anniversary Cat.  My thoughts are with you and your family.
Same from me. Big hugs x x

Last Tuesday I had a tooth pulled ant the doctor gave me a couple of percocet for the pain.  Out of 8 I took 1 and 1/2 and I gotta say that stuff is next to lethal and I can't understand anyone taking the stuff more than once.  I flushed the rest away  8-P

Did it cause you drowsiness? ???

First drowsy, then insomnia and nausea.

I feel like crap today. VERY tired & extremely crampy-but still managed to get in my hour's worth of exercises (and survived).

sorry you feel like crap. Good for you to exercise tho!!!

There is a big snow storm headed our way.  The weathermen are screaming blizzard so people are in a panic.  Seriously?  We live in Utah...we get bad storms from time to time.  We will survive, I promise.

Maybe you should lie down and rest yourself.

Wow! already talking about snow? Jeez. :o

Already, heck, this is the second measurable storm of the winter. 

And I don't want to hear anyone whine about cold...it is supposed to hit 9 degrees tonight.  I would love 50 degrees.

The storm is almost over and I survived.  We got 5 to 6 inches but nothing like the "storm of the century" the weathermen were screaming about. ;D
