1. Welcome Eeyoreslament!! You did good on your first try in here....be it a little short in facts about you. I see that you are a fast learner and now are following the "rules"...yay!!

2. Some in this thread call me one of the schticklers....and I really don't understand why...LOL!!

3. I'm not the only schtickler though....and as Lkunkel said....it's all good and we basically have some fun about the out of order numbering. Never, ever take schticklers seriously because we don't take ourselves seriously either...lol!

4. Although I feeling a lot better, I did wake up at 4am with a major headache. I'm pretty sure it's one of those hormonal migraine type headaches because it feels just like the ones I used to get about 5 years ago.

5. I haven't had this type of bad headache in many years, so for that I am thankful.

6. I took some OTC migraine headache tablets and it's taken the edge off. The pain is still there but not so bad now. At least I'm here typing a post...yay!!

7. Ut-ohh....I just noticed the time!

8. I've got to leave for work!

9. Everyone have a nice day!

10. Bye!!

1. I am trying to avoid all the work I have piled on my desk. Maybe if I click my heels I can go home. No red slippers ... oh well!

1.2 I love playing with the schticklers!

1. I just got home from seeing a new pain management doctor. She tortured me with stretching exercises I'm to do 5 times a day everyday.

2. At least she gave me good pain meds so I should be all set for my trip next month. I'm so excited about A. Seeing old friends again and meeting new ones and B. Having my grandbaby all to myself while her parents are at work for 5 whole days!!!! YAAAAA!!! Life is good!

1. This has been a heck of a week.

2. DS#1 is in the middle of his final tests for Nuclear Power School and he's stressing.

3. I should have married an auto mechanic. My dh took my car in for recall work on the turn signal switch and all of a sudden, the very same day they worked on it, now the fuel pump is shot. Coincidence? but of course it has nothing to do to what they "fixed".

4. It's 66° today only going to be in the low 50's tomorrow and maybe 40's this weekend while I sit outside and watch soccer, oh joy, lol.

5. I just got to hold my friends 2 1/2 month old baby and it made the rest of the stuff go away for awhile. I love other people's babies ...

1. OPK's are great, Lady!

2. Today the sun is shining, the skies are blue, and the wet ground is rying up.

3. Both kids were eager to get back to school today. Sis called me awhile ago doing the happy song (she may also have been dancing, but I couldn't see it, lol) after dropping oldest neice off at school.

4. I decided since I can't clean the bedroom closet yet to tackle the kitchen. Cleaned out all the drawers and reorganized those. Tomorrow I'll do the cabinets. They're pretty easy to do, plus if the insurance adjuster shows up I can just shove everything back in the cabinet til he leaves.

5. Darren also called awhile ago and told me he'd pick the kids up from school since he'll be off work in time. Yippee!!!! No dealing with the masses to get them home.

6. I was debating cleaning the bathroom but I think I'll wait til tomorrow. I've done a ton already today, and won't have hardly anything to do tomorrow, might as well save something.

1, I had a really BAD day of research today. It took a whole hour to find that a scribbled piece of music had not been published and I couldn't read the bad handwriting on the title.

2. Cute German guy did NOT go to Salzburg today. I wore ratty clothes, and guess what! TODAY, he wanted to go to lunch. And the archivist went with and they talked in German for a good chunk of it. So much for alone time. I bought lunch for each of their birthdays. I was nice. I was also kinda miserable.

3. Would have been in a better mood if he hadn't given me corrections to make to my article that is already at the proofreaders. I actually felt like a little schoolgirl. CRAP!

4. I am ready to come home.

5. There are two engineers from Berkley staying at my hotel and they are working at BMW on research. They had a crappy day, too so we went out for a walk and ate at McDonalds and told jokes. It was really nice to tell jokes that someone actually "gets".

6. The Berkeley guys and I decided that our hotel is certainly in the red light district. Went around the corner and found more "girlie" shops and a Cinema with, um, well....interesting titles "the little brown girl and the big dictator" (at least I thought it was dictator!!!!)

7. Tomorrow will be a better day. The really funny actor who catologues the stage works will be in!

1. Its hard to believe Schoolmarm is in a foreign country - safe trip home marm!

2. I need a friend.

3. I need a friend that can come with me on Friday. 7am -11pm

4. I need a friend that can come with me to a taping of the OPRAH SHOW!!

5. Yep, I was listening to my messages, and Oprah has invited me and a guest to a taping of the OPRAH show.

6. Bad news, no friend, and its a FRIDAY taping.

7. Friday at 1:30 I have an interview, for a job I'm qualified for, but probably wont get...

8. The taping on Friday is for a Tsunami and Nate B. The message said "Oprah would like you and a guest to come to a taping, she liked what you said about Nate and the Tsunami".... oops, I forgot, and my ds, did I email something about my son?... WAIT, I kinda remember... lol...

its still more fun with a friend to be INVITED to an Oprah taping!!

8.21 That's wicked exciting, Reader! My imagination is running wild. Our Reader is in the audience, and Ms. O says: our next guest thinks she was invited here because of what she wrote about Nate and the tsunami, but the REAL reason she is here is.....<insert your favorite surprise here, because you deserve it!> Is the taping really from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., or is that a typo?

8.213 How exciting Reader! You'll find someone closeby to go with you. Even if you don't, just GO. Have fun. I have always wanted to go to a taping, but don't think she will ever come back to Texas.

8.214 That is so cool Reader! I would volunteer to come with you as well ... but I'm also a little far away! Even if you can't find someone to go with, you must go! And then you must come back here and tell us all about it! How exciting!

8.6. Reader, you HAVE to go! I'd love to go to an Oprah show! You never know what she's going to give away! If I ever get to Chicago I'd sure go! When will it be shown on TV?? You have to come back and tell all! And, yeah, what did you write to her??

1. Reader......too bad I'm in Munich, I coulda shoulda woulda taken the train up to Chicago to join you. You have fun, and just dig up ANYONE to go with you!

2. Had a FABULOUS day at research today. WHEW! It is still slow going.

3. Went to lunch with cute German guy (who has a cute new haircut, but he doesn't like it!) and we went to a really good Chinese restaurant. I couldn't find General Tso's chicken in the menu, so I had Szeszuan beef, and he had duck. It was really good.

4. HE paid, what good news. And we laughed a lot at lunch. It was a good day.

5. I am going to "Fiddler on the Roof" in German tonight. I will be in standing room, but am hoping to grab a seat.

6. The weather is changing here. Maybe it will rain tomorrow.

7. I got to call AMERICA today! YIPPEE! I had sent an email to our organization that the archivist's mom had died, and they emailed the institute here in Munich wanting to send flowers. I got to make the phone call, as I know the executive director personally. It is so complicated to arrange exchanging money over here. I ended up paying and they are sending me dollars at home.

8. I feel absolutely 180 degrees different than I did yesterday. <Marm does a happy dance>

9. I can't believe that I go home on Saturday! I hope my cat doesn't snub me when I get home!

1. YEAH!!

2. LOL, I had no idea, that many of us watch Oprah!!

3. OK, when the tsunami hit, I heard Nate B found a cell phone and was on CNN describing his horror, it touched me, so I emailed him thru Oprah, good vibes, positive thoughts etc... (and forgot about that too!!)

4. Now when the producer of Oprah left a message, my message machine is so messed up, I was getting messages from NOVEMBER...

5. BUT, I did write down the number, and he said that they liked the email I sent to Oprah about "Nate" (so I think, did I write something about ds?! It took a few minutes)

6. I read that Oprah sent a team to Nate to help him search for his friend, and speculation was she would do a show with Nate on the Tsunami disaster.

7. I've been to a taping before.

8. I called in on my favorite Oprah show, knowing how much she loves Mayou Angelo, I said I liked that show, and remember something from Mayou...

9. I was invited to that show. So I think I know what the plan is for the special taping of Nate and the Tsunami...

10 Oprah producers like to pad the audience (esp with special tapings/themes etc) to get a friendly response. They go thru emails, and sometimes after All My Children they leave a commercial message if you'd like to come to a special taping of the Oprah show call and tell us about.... So then those names go on a "list". I went to the show, told them my name, and joined the crowd that had tickets for that days taping. When the time came to tape the show, they let the "invited" people come get seats, and yes the producers "suggest" certain people sit in certain areas.. (beautiful people up front please) Then they have the taping. and it does go for 2- 3 hours, she now does an Oprah after the show where the "extra" footage is seen. The 2nd/3rd hour (if its a live taping) is more relaxed and she takes audience questions... The whole thing is carefully edited before it airs on TV... When I was there for Mayou I got to ask my question, but it wasnt shown on TV! Then after its over its "Thank you very much" and if they have a need for a future show they may ask if anyone in the audience is willing to get the hair cut... and from there pick one or two...

(Its still exciting as its a HOT ticket!) I'm at work, and I called, just voice mail, maybe something will be on the answering machine when I get home!!)
