1. I'm back! 2. It was a very sad, somber show, lots of tears, and a few chuckles. 3. I did get an aisle seat, but from my vantage point they didnt tape any audience members except the group that Nate visited - they made everyone cry... very good tears, hard to explain. 4. The after the show, I thought for sure, now's my chance... I have 2 very good points... I'm tall and can be agressive... but they called 2 specific young things with their emails, and they blew it... then one lady with a big grey scarf, and she blew it... dont these people know they're ON TV!! Let's get the point on!! 5. So the show may turn out to be 2 shows, and no after the show. 6. There was some very dramatic tellings of stories, and some good video of the area where he was at, Oprah had a film crew that interviewed the workers rebuilding. 7. My interview !@#*!! I had a 1:20 interview, and I stopped at home to grab my briefcase, I grabbed dh's... then I talked, and got as many points in as I could, but was it too much info? I talked a lot on "relationship" and William Glasser's theory, and how I've used it in substituting.. 7.1 What I think was bad was my interview didnt last very long AT ALL!! I was done by 1:40, and I talked about the Oprah show!! The lady before me is from our church, and her interview was at least 30 min, but you never know.. I cling to hope (and I'm so tired of false hope)

7.2 I'm glad you enjoyed your experience with Oprah. Even if you didn't get on camera, how incredibly exciting! We'll look for you anyway, let us know what you decided to wear. 7.3 I'm crossing my fingers for you with your job interview. It's not about the time spent during the interview but the impression you made. I'm sure it went well. Wishing you the best!

1. I have no idea where to go with this numbering system! 2. What a hard, hard day I had subbing today. 3. On the way to school this morning, a little girl from the school was killed in a car accident. 4. I was subbing for her homeroom, her grade, her friends. 5. Her brother (a junior at the school- she was an 8th grader) was driving the car- he seems to be okay. 6. Here's an awful, sad addition to the story: their mom was driving in her car behind them and saw the whole thing happen. 7. The hard thing at school was that they made an announcement that there had been an accident and who was involved, but they couldn't tell anyone anything definite without official word from the coroner- yet the kids have cell phone, called parents, got info....and we still legally couldn't confirm anything even though a lot of kids knew. 8. I'm very glad that their regular teacher came in toward the end of the day because i think it's better for the kids to have their teacher that they know and who knows them there with them as opposed to a sub that they've had maybe 8 times.

1. Oh, geez, Kaili...what a tough day for you and the kids and the families involved. 2. Every year that I taught public school either a student or teacher died from a disease or was killed in an accident. 3. It never gets easier. 4. I can't believe that I'm going home tomorrow... 5. The first flight is 10 hours and 45 minutes, then a 3 hour layover in Atlanta, and then a shorter flight to St. Louis and 2 more hours to drive home. YUP, that would be the whole day. 6. I think that I have forgotten how to drive! 7. It's a good thing my parents are picking me up at the airport. 8. I'm glad that I lived close enough to my parents so they can do that! The airport is halfway between our homes. 9. I watched the Bavarian Film awards on TV. I think that it is like out Emmys. {{{Big Hugs to Kaili and the students and families}}}}

My dh is up in WA with his family until Thursday. 5. I miss him, but I truly believe this will help him through his brother's death. 6. Thekid and I are holding down the fort here. <yep, we weren't included in this, either> <bitter, no! Fed-up, YES!> 7. We're finally drying out here!! 8. The Eukanuba Dog Show is this weekend...WATCH for Little Brown Dogs!!! 9. I hope you have a good, safe trip, Marm!! 10. {{{{TVCH MEMBERS}}}}

1. Thanks...I watched the news tonight and saw the car. Honestly, it's amazing the brother made it out. Seriously, no kidding...it was flat. Unbelievable. 2. I feel so awful for the mom watching it happen, the son who's going to live with being responsible and surviving (he was at fault in the accident), the kids...everyone. And I keep thinking about how on Monday her desk will be empty and they'll look and see that, her name was on the board for having missing work she needed to hand in, etc.... They're so young-

1. kaili, so sorry to hear about the little girl. that is so tragic. 2. yay for all the new factoiders! i love seeing new people post in here....be warned, though, this will become your favorite thread. 3. i'm making banana bread right now for my co-worker, and her husband - who is working on my brakes for me in the morning...putting on new rotors and pads, and giving me a good deal on it. i'm doing this as a thank you, also so he doesn't think i'm taking advantage of his mechanic services. it sure does smell good! 4. i had quite an interesting evening tonight. a "friend of a friend" (that is the shortest way i know how to explain it) brought her 19 y.o. daughter out to the bar last saturday when we went. she's recently broken up with her boyfriend and was just "guy-watching" (lol), so i gave her my cell phone # and told her she should come out on a thursday, because that's when all the young people are there. well, she called me tonight (keep in mind i only talked to her for a few minutes last week), and talked to me for almost an hour about her ex-boyfriends, and everything else! that was a little strange. alterego said "you got a new best friend." smartass. lol. very odd. eta: vacanick beat me! 5. reader, i'm glad you enjoyed oprah, i'll be looking for ya, roomie! Happy friday, factoiders!

1. what a day i've had. i tripped on the stairs outside of my office and over my boss' golden retriever, injuring my left knee and whamming my ankle on the steps, and hurting my right shoulder. 2. i went to the Napa BIG GAME for basketball, so i could meet my daughter's new boyfriend. yes, i said BOYFRIEND. 3. this young gentleman is 6'2", very nice, and has good manners. 4. while at half time, i walked out to my car to walk off the bleacher butt, and i proceeded to watch a guy messing with my door handle of my car and peering into my window. he walked off just as i was walking up. i moved my car to another lot. 5. i went and told a cop at the game what i saw. 6. just before i was about to leave the game, the cop stopped me, and i had to give a statement. seems after i had told the cop my story, they went out to look, the guy ran off, they ensued chase, and pulled him over a few blocks away, with a STOLEN CAR! that could have been my car!

1. Kaili, how terrible for you and your students! 2. Wow, Landi! Good thing you reported the scumbag! 3. November of 2002 I cut my long hair to about an inch long all over. It is now FINALLY long enough to pull back in a ponytail. 4. I will NEVER do that again no matter how bad a hair day I am having! 5. My DH is the only person I have ever met who doesn't like any kind of condiments. He won't even eat potato salad because it has mayo in it. He eats DRY sandwiches! Yuck! 6. I love all condiments! 7. My sleep is all messed up now that I'm no longer sick. Now I take a couple of naps during the day and night. So, getting to sleep around the same time as hubby is tough.

1. Kaili, I am so sorry. That is so devestating for her family, the students and teachers. 2. Landi, I'm so glad you saw the guy and reported it! 3. Twinks, my sleep cycle is so off these days as well. I think I just got used to not having to get up early to get the kids to school and it's taking awhile to get back into a normal routine. 4. I just scrubbed my kitchen clean. Used comet on the sink and now my hands are raw and dry. I hate chemicals. 5. Darren and Caleb came up with a new way to spend time together. Caleb is a mini Darren, not only in looks, but in the things he enjoys. Like his dad he loves computer games. So for Christmas he got his own cd of a game Darren has. They can play it online. Tonight they put Caleb's game on my computer and the two of them set here for about an hour playing online together. They had a blast! 6. Earlier today Caleb was telling me about another of his computer games, and when he did one thing on it this happened, and it sucks mom. LOL, I raised an eyebrow, sucks huh? 7. Friday nights are turnin into my best tv viewing night. Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Gallactica. I'm actually giddy about it! I'm such a geek. 8. Darren's company is going back to cutting down on OT. He's only been working 9 hour days, and isn't working Saturdays for now. This is both good and bad....good that he's not work 60+ hours a week, bad cuz the OT pay is fun money. No worries though, it won't last long, it never does. Once they start getting behind and orders start stacking up, they'll start having tons of OT again. To make it worse this time, they laid off their temp workers, so adds more work for the permanent people and they'll back up quicker than they usually do.

1. I GOT A CELL PHONE! Last night my whole family upgraded their plans and phones and guess what, there was a free phone available so I got one too! I don't really need a cell phone, I'm always near the home phone. I'm still excited 'cuz now I'm "IN". LOL! 2. Took the daughter and future daughter in law shopping yesterday. We had so much fun, then to top it off my husband and sons met us for supper. 3. The girls and I spent a lot of time at the yarn store, can you believe they want leg warmers? First ponchos, now leg warmers, time must be flowing backwards. 4. Future DIL got a very nice wedding planner book with pockets to save information. She and my son had a great time looking through it and dreaming. After reviewing all the things they'd have to include, they've decided to wait 3 years to get married instead of two. 5. All the menfolk in my house have to work today so we ladies are going to get our hair and nails done. 6. Tomorrow my husband's contemporary gospel band is playing at our church so I'm getting those lazy college kids up early enough to attend. To their credit, not one complained about the plan. 7. This is the last weekend before everyone starts back to college, it's been wonderful having them home for semester break. 8. Next weekend our oldest son will be deployed for training then on to Iraq. He's proud to go, he believes he needs to be there, and he's excited to lead his own team. 9. I bought whole beans from Dunkin Donuts while shopping yesterday and my coffee this morning is wonderful, I just hope I don't over dose on caffeine.

1. I don't know if I'll be able to come up with TEN facts, but I'll try. 2. Twinkie, I did the same thing to my hair two years ago... it hung to my butt and I chopped it to one inch, also. Today, it just barely passes my shoulders. (at least some kids at BC Children's Hospital got some new wigs out of the deal!) 3. I will never cut my hair that short again, either. 4. I am watching my BF play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. No matter how much your children beg and plead for you to buy them this game, DON'T DO IT. 5. I should be sweeping the floors today, but instead I am still in my pyjamas, just passing time until I have to get dressed to go out for dinner. 6. Tonight we are having dinner with a friend of the BF who he hasn't seen in ten years, who just happened to google my BF's name and found that we live in the same city. New friends, hooray! 7. I can see how this thread will quickly become a favourite... as long as I can avoid having to do ten facts all the time. 8. Lumbele's update last night got me craving yorkshire pudding. I think I'll have to pick up a roast for dinner tomorrow. 9. How can someone not like condiments??? What about salad dressing, for a green salad? Will he eat that? 10. I'm gonna go grab another coffee before I doll myself up. Have a great weekend, everyone!

1. I'm one of the unlucky ones who has caught the bug here. Scratchy throat, cough, ear ache, etc. 2. I'm on my 3rd day of antibiotics, feeling better, but still, slept all day. 3. Just ate a chicken quesadilla. Yummy. 4. Glad I remembered to buy coffee for tomorrow morning.

1. Yay Steelers - way too close of a game! 2. I want the steelers to win this year since i love history and have a soft spot for a rookie qb who is now 14-0. 3. thanks grace, but unfortunately i cant return the support to your indianapolis team. 4. Like Johnny U, I will never get over the Colts leaving Baltimore in the middle of the night - they will always be the Baltimore Colts to me, and so that team in Indianapolis can never succeed under my eyes - just wish some of their players and coaches didnt have to be so nice. 5. Go Patriots!

1. We have had freezing rain for most of the day today, there is about 1/2"-3/4" of ice on everything. Wrecks all over the place, what a day. 2. We spent the day playing games with the kids, drinking hot chocolate and having a really good family day. I loved it. 3. I had the weirdest thing happen to me the other day....I googled an ex-boyfriend from about 14 years ago, found out he is in a pretty successful punk-type band that has released 4 or 5 CD's...as I did more reading and searching I was looking at lists of their songs....what I found was a total suprise....on their first album was a song called "Julie H." (H is the first initial of my maiden name). The song was written 5 years after we broke up and even states in the lyrics '...it's been 5 years...' It kind of freaked me out. 4. I found out today that my sister is getting married in 2 weeks for the 3rd time to a guy she met on Halloween. I'm not sure what to think about this even though I think the guys is really nice, my sister has a tendency to screw things up. 5. (((To all Factoiders)))
