01. {{Skootz}} 02. Jewels, thanks, I like it a lot too! 03. PuppyLov, come join us in the Home & Life Organization thread. 04. Today is Art Area organization day for me. 05. I watched Super Nanny last night; I think Nanny 911 is much better. 06. I tried watching Trading Spouses, but the girl popped her prosthetic eye out one too many times for my taste, so didn't make it past the first 7 minutes. 07. Our non-Tivo DVR is down to 7 recordings, I think that's the lowest it's been since we upgraded to DVR Digitial Cable. 08. Speckle, our 10-plus YO spayed female feline has begun something new: she is trying to make out with the bedding; Punk, our 10-plus YO neutered male feline has continued to knead me until he gets an erection. 09. Does this mean Spring is in the air?

* I will count Lkunkel's icon as her #10! 1. If haven't seen my 'bootalicious' Herc on the web, check out this link: Hercky the Boot Model.

1..... I am really trying hard to stay awake during the Amazing Race. Jet lag is really sucking! 2. I taught two awesome classes today. I only have three in the one for undergrads, and 4 in the grad class. Tomorrow I have 24! It is so good to see the students!

1. Lazy day reading...enjoyed it immensely. 2. Love Herc's debut as a boot model. I must look into getting a pair(?) a set(?) for Basil. 3. I'd like to be in one of Schoolmarm's classes.

1. (mumbling about Vee's lazy day after just finishing my update TWELVE PAGE workplan) 2. In what usually takes me 50 seconds to drive around the block to get to the other side of my office building to head home, it took me literally ONE HOUR to do so tonight. (streets are one way so you have to drive around in a square sometimes) 3. quickly learned about the police standoff on Penn Ave that ended up bottlenecking the whole city of DC - but still didnt help in getting out of DuPont Circle. 4. Glad i am staying home thursday - cant imagine the traffic that day!

1. Darren got home today and went to check my car. Grabbed my keys off the table, walked out, got in and turned the key. 2. Any guesses what happened? 3. Yup the sucker turned on no problem at all. I came close to screaming, lol. It never fails! Everytime the thing won't start, or I hear strange noises, it does nothing wrong for him. Then of course, few weeks later it'll break down for me, lol. 4. He did say the charge on the battery was low, and something else was wrong that he fixed or did something too. Said he thinks also that maybe because the charge was low and it was really cold this morning that may have caused the car not to start. I'm wondering if I'm going to have the same problem tomorrow! Already takes forever for my car to warm up on cold mornings, now I have to worry about it not starting at all. 5. Dakota was recognized today in her classroom newsletter for having so many of her word lists and math facts done. There's only a couple kids who have done as many (and one girl who's done more) so she was tickled half to death to see her name in it. I love kids at this age, they take so much pleasure and pride in learning, it's great!

1. I didn't sleep well last night, the wind was howling 2. Woke up this morning and it not really great out 3. Kids buses are cancelled 4. I have to figure out what to do with kids, we have to leave for a funeral this morning and there is no school transportation 5. I may get my best friends daughter brought here to babysit for the day..may just be the easiest 6. I hates days like these, especially since I had all the organizing done and set on such a busy day, it would of ran smoothly if the weather would of cooperated

Wargod - 4.1 - check your cold cranking amps. I had the same problem a few months ago, went to Batteries Plus and had them check the battery, they said it was fine (they only checked volts or something, didn't check cranking amps). Finally went to a regular service joint and they figured it out - new battery, no more problems.

1. Wow 30 degrees outside in the morning here! whoo hoo 2. slightly better mood today. I'll take it. 3. I'm considering adopting a kitten (or two - cuz I can't make up my mind). 4. casper will likely kick me for this. 5. On the other hand, he isn't doing anything about the mice population in the kitchen that have move in from my neighbor's woodpile. 6. ergo kittens for motivation - or at the very least my own amusement 7. Might sneak out of work a bit early or call the shelter back today (I went there yesterday) and ask about the kittens I'm thinking of - I have an approved app in (for another cat that went to someone else). 7.1 I must be out of what is left of my mind.

7..2 Puppy-yay! Good for you--go for two cuz then they can wear each other out instead of you. They can play with each other instead of getting into trouble or somethings that maybe a kitten shouldn't be messing with.

1. Good morning all! 2. End of the semester is drawing near. 3. I have so much work to do, so I'm hiding here. 4. I'm learning to exsist on 3 hours of sleep. 5. Why didn't anyone tell me that when you get married, you inherit his family drama too?? 6. We decided to have our belated wedding reception on our anniversary at Dave and Busters. 7. It's actually cheaper than renting a hall and it's much more fun. 8. Have a great day!!!

1. I love this thread. I read it every day but post rarely. Sometimes I post just to give the schticklers something to do, lol. I just love TVCHers!! 2. I am excited that our niece, Laura King, is in a group called The Moaners and has a cd coming out next week. Yay for them!! Billboard gave it a pretty good review. It's not my favorite kind of music, but I love hearing, and seeing, her getting some of that energy out with her drumming. 3. Here's a site in case anyone wants to hear and see the video: Yeproc, The Moaners. You can watch their video of a song called Heart Attack. We don't see her very often, so it was a real kick for us to see her in action. She was a troubled teen and music was the only thing she put any real effort/discipline into. 4. I had my mammogram today. The worst part about it was the bone-chilling cold weather I had to go out in! I did a couple quick errands after that and came home to hibernate...or so I thought. 5. DH was dizzy when he woke up today. After I got home, he started vomiting and having chills and fever. Yuck, poor dh. I went back out in the bone-numbing, eyeball-freezing cold to get some "sick food". 6. Our newlywed dd in CA moved to Seattle a couple weeks ago. They both have job interviews tomorrow, fingers are crossed here. 7. I love kittens! (but I don't want another pet) 8. I was very happy with the outcome of TAR last night. In fact, I was so happy that I jumped right up in the air and hollered "YES!" That's very demonstrative for me. I was surprised to have such a strong reaction, lol. When I type "lol", I'm not usually actually laughing out loud. Sometimes I'm just smiling very widely, or chuckling quietly. Once in a while, I'm choking on the water I was drinking when I read a funny TVCH post. I just thought I should come clean about that, lol....er, smiling a little. 9. A high school friend of our dd's now lives in CA with his bride. He joined the National Guard last year and will soon be deployed to Sarajevo. He and his wife were chosen to be on a show called Who Gets the Dog on the Animal Planet channel. They won't say if they got the dog, but dd thinks they did. Their episode will be aired 1/25. I wish we had the Animal Planet channel so I could watch. He was a very nice, creative and funny boy, and his parents are great.

1. Wowweeee, wow wow, Mak. I loved the video and the strangely hypnotic feel of the music. The drumming was incredible. I found myself pounding my left foot in time! So don't tell them (cuz they'd probably faint), but they have a 57-year old fan! Wow! 2. Glad you got your mammo! Good for you! (That reminds me, I want to start a thread with a check-off list for all of us!) 3. My honey brought me home a spinach salad that was so incredible it perked me up right after I ate it. He's off to the gym now. 4. I'm sorry to relate that I can barely walk right now. My back has gotten so bad I can't walk thru the grocery store anymore. Waiting for that PT session. 5. I do walk Herc, but have to stop and stoop down in a squatting position that somehow relieves the pain for a minute or two. I walk, squat, walk, squat. 6. Dh and I have postponed our plans to go to FL next weekend as a result. Boo Hoo! But we'll make up for it later, I know. 7. My mother now officially weighs less than I do. I have got to beat her! So I've been watching the food intake even more. Competition and embarrassment sometimes works! 8. Golly, Mak, you reminded me I haven't been checking the military thread here. Gotta go read and catch up. 9. I have been using Udderly Smooth Udder Cream for my feet and hands and have noticed even more of an improvement in the dryness than with the Aquaphor I had been using. 10. The directions on the container are a riot, though, because it begins: "Wash udder and teat parts thoroughly with clear water and soap before each milking to avoid contamination of milk." Dairy farmers really do use this stuff!!!!

01. I'm happy: I am lead bidder in two auctions for Stage 2 size baby food containers (2" x 2 1/2" x 1 3/4" high) to store craft items; hopefully, I won't need many more of them than that. 02. I've had an overwhelming tiring day; I walked 3.53 miles to handle errands in three hours. 02a. A fuller account of my thoughts is in Home & Life...

1. I'm SAL @ Zmom's SOL. 2. I think the directions on the udder cream container would really make me lol every time I read them. If I were a dairy farmer, I probably wouldn't laugh at them, though. 3. Good luck with your bids, Lk!

01. Aren't Udder Cream and Bag Balm the same product under different names? 02. I ended up posting and relisting 19 auto-related items on eBay that are taking up valuable real estate space in our apartment. 03. {{{Skootz}}} 04. Yea, Puppy!!! Congrats!!! It reminds me: I need a good trim and then DH and I will do the highlight coloring. 05. Have you ever had the feeling that things will work out perfectly in a situation, despite overwhelming suggestions to the contrary? 06. I'm really sorry that Nanny 911 won't be on tonight, but I admit to being curious about Point Pleasant.

1. I am doing a happy dance today and flying mighty high. 2. Insurance guy called at 11. Apologized profusely, but his first appointment this morning was much bigger than what he'd thought and he was running late. Was that a prob? Nope, not at all, take your time (he was so apologetic I just couldn't be upset.) 3. He was absolutely awesome! Spent about an hour and a half here going over everything in the house, climbing over the roof, everything. 4. They will not pay for the roof, but dude was an ex-contractor and told Darren how he could repair the whole roof well enough to last a year or two if we couldn't scrap up 10,000 or so to rebuild it this year. 5. Other than the roof, they covered everything that was damaged. Ceiling, walls, carpet, paint, kitchen floor tiles. They even added in some money for more tarps (as they're considered emergency roof repair, lol,) and the labor involved on putting the first one on and patching what they could even though Darren explained it was him and my bil who did the work. 6. I have to say, the two times I've dealt with homeowners insurance they have been great and gone beyond what I've expected. They've been friendly, polite, and helpful, they don't miss a thing, and they have made sure we've been treated more than fairly. We'll go ahead and do what we can now, but most of the works going to have to wait til summer when the guys have more time to do it and we don't have to worry about rain. 7. Lk, I enjoyed Point Pleasant. It was kind of freaky, which is right up my alley. I think I'll check out a couple more episodes but I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep watching it.
