1. (((((rg)))), welcome back. it's good to see you here again.

2. i hate beets too! the thing is they LOOK like they taste good. don't be fooled. that is my absolute least favorite food.

3. luv, that is awful about that poor kid's mom! i guess you prolly didn't enjoy the movie, huh? i saw it friday and LOVED it. puss and boots with the piratish costume. rofl

4. today i took a bunch of my old clothes that i don't wear anymore to a place that buys "teen-style" clothes. now, i am no fashion plate by any means, but i do keep up with the trends. they only bought THREE of my things. they told me the clothes were too "mature". i think she was trying to tell me i was old! lol, you have to put your birthdate on the form you fill out! what's up with that? they did give me 8.50 for just the 3 things they bought, not too bad.

5. i went to the used cd store today and bought the first totally country cd. i am a frequent shopper there, and was joking with the guys about giving me a discount, and guess what? they did knock off a dollar. lol

6. alterego and i went out again on saturday night. it was a really small crowd so that was nice. and no old men hit on us! woo hoo!

7. i have to go back to work tomorrow and should be in bed already. problem is, i have stayed up late and slept late the last 4 nights/days in a row.

8. i can't wait for our apartment pool to open. i am disappointed that it wasn't open for this weekend. management here sucks!

9. i hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.

take care!

I think this is the first time I've posted in this thread, and I chose to do it on 10?! Oh well, here goes...

1. The next nine will be my favorite recipes for beets.

. Just kidding, but I do love beets.

2. This weekend, I didn't get to see Prince and I didn't buy any country CD's, but I got Prince's Musicology in the mail from Amazon. Fun CD.

3. The other CD I just received from Amazon is George Michael, Patience. Haven't listened to it yet. I am practicing Patience.

4. I also have to go back to work tomorrow, after more than a week off. I know all about getting into that other sleep schedule when you have time off. Sigh.

5. My cat has been snugglier and sweeter than usual the past few days, who knows why.

6. I went to breakfast with my best friend and her fie-ance Sunday morning, I'm not usually a traditional breakfast fan but it was yummy. We went to a train-car diner converted into a restaurant, most of the menu item names are train-related. I had the "Lil' Conductor". I guess it was supposed to be one of the kids menu items.

7. A few movies I rented last week: Under the Tuscan Sun, The Cooler, Pieces of April.

8. It seems like I am one of the few people left in the US who does not yet have a DVD player.

9. My car needs some work and I am trying to convince myself that maybe I need to buy a new car instead. So far I'm not winning.

10. I would have liked to have been at the WWII Memorial Dedication in DC this weekend.

Night night!

LOL Melfie!
1. I have eaten every imaginable red beet recipe! Pickled, sauteed, grilled, buttered, cold, hot, blech! My mom and dad had a 1/2 acre garden and half of that was red beets!!! Torture! And our little dog ate every imaginable table scrap, except red beets! So there was no sneakin' them to her!!

1. Mygetaway - which night did your friend see Prince? Konashark & I went on Sunday. What a great show - Prince really was playing to the audience. My favorite parts: the acoustical guitar segment that started the second half - we were all singing along with Red Corvette and he would stop singing to listen to us, chiding us if we weren't loud enough; and his little "political" statement about the darth of real muscians on stage these days (ala "lip synch" people/bands). Oh, and all ticket holders got his new CD "musicology".

2. Luvmyjrt - what a mitzvah to stay with that child who was going through such a difficult situation. And such a shame to have a heart attack at a relatively young age (it really can happen to women and not just middle-aged men).

3. Summer has hit Las Vegas. Daily highs will be in the 100's this week. For those of you coming in July - I will be admonishing you daily to make sure you are drinking enough water and to do your 'strip' walking before 9a or after sunset (9p).

1. Don't forget the big floppy hats and sunscreen too, Kona, if we're insane enough to step foot outside during the day.
2. Summer has hit here too. It was so hot yesterday that even being inside with the fans and swamp cooler was miserable. At least today there is a slight breeze, so maybe that will help some.

3. Kaykay, I hope both you and ds feel better quickly.

4. Today is back to school and work day. While it was a wonderful four day weekend for Darren (who got tons of sleep) and three days for the kids, I am so behind on housework I'm not sure I'll ever catch up. Today will be a day for doing everything around here!

(Kona.. she went Sunday night too. From her description, you couldn't have missed her if you saw her. She had on a mini purple denim skirt, a flashy purple bra with a mesh top, purple nails, hair up in a pony with purple glitter and tye. She also said something about a Prince like jacket too. I think she was in the center, maybe about the 14th row. She couldn't get good enough tickets here in Seattle, so she called down there to check it out. She's a major Fan)

1) Back to work after a 3 day break. Had to do 2 days work in 1 - I'd do it every wk if they'd allow it.
2) DS FINALLY found a job! He's needed one for a long time. I finally had to play Tuff Love on him about dishing out the cash. It was really starting to drain me $$ wise & emotionally.
3) On the way home from the office today, the digital temperature said it was 109 outside. Gosh, I knew it felt like an oven today but didn't realize it was that bad. Bad thing is that my car A/C is dead & I don't want to go in debt to fix it.
4) Got my Lab pup's swimming pool filled & ready. I recycled one of those little tykes hard plastic pools from when my kids were smaller. Boy, she is in hog heaven.
5) DS fixed his own dinner (wanders never cease to amaze me). Jeno's frozen pizza no less.
6) The liquor store in my neighborhood "Pinkies" has unadvertised "tax free Tuesday" every wk. They don't even tax Cigs. Of course I made a stop there on my way home & got my bacardi.
7) I'm having RW/RR Challenge, Survivor, & AI withdrawals.
8) The flys are big & mean around here this yr. They bite & leave whelps just like mosquitos.
9) I'm fixin to make a batch of breakfast buritos as soon as I get a cocktail or 2 under my belt so I don't mind the heat in the kitchen. I plan to make combo. egg,bacon,potatoe,bean, & cheese. Gotta use up those left over beans from the Mem. Day bbq some how.
10) Don't really post too much in Gen Disc. threads - but, I just felt like it today. Hope I haven't bored the socks off of ya'll.

1. Okay FACTOIDS...I love you all, but you're off the count here....so I'll go with 7 facts...next up should do 8....okay-dokey??

2. I spend my holiday weekend visiting my favorite sister, meeting landi (aka "bubbles"), shopping at the Tulare Outlets, returning home and having BBQ with my dh and kidlets...it was a great weekend!

3. Today at work I received an interesting phone call.

4. It seems a certain department Director in my hospital wanted to offer me a position, without me telling my Admin and Director...is this called a 'headhunter'??...LOL!!

5. I met with her to hear what the offer was and I will be considering the position because it's pretty decent and something I would definitely like doing....really like doing

6. It's a part time benefited, salaried position and I would have to work every other weekend. I basically would work 4 days per week, with one of the weeks to include the Sat/Sun. However, the following week would give me 'free' weekdays to spend at home and this does appeal to me. Also, my hours would be from noon-8pm. Not too shabby.

7. I like what the position will hold for me but the plus is that I'll get my own private office in the new building on the 4th floor with a view to die for. Decisions, decisions. Egbob just called me and he's on his way home...I've alerted him that I'll need to discuss this proposition with him....sigh...decisions, decisions.....

1. Saw my GYN this morning. She thinks I have an area of infection that needs 2 different types of anti-biotics to heal it, plus some other stuff.

2. I'll be going in for a CT Scan tomorrow afternoon to make sure there isn't anything else that is causing this complication.

3. I'm still wishing I can go to RG's this summer, but just don't see how I can.

4. Congrats to Eggie on the job offer. Hope you figure out what the best thing to do is.

5. I broke down and bought a cell phone today. It's with Virgin Mobile, a pay as you go service, with no contracts at all.

6. I figured being single, and finding myself if positions where I needed to make calls, and needing it for emergencies, was a good enough reason to do it.

7. This day is going by fast, but I think I'm going to be bored until midnight unless I can find something good to occupy my time.

8. My guy and I talk almost everday, and we call each other at midnight because he's working swing shift right now. I sure am liking him a lot and am afraid to admit I'm falling in love because I've been hurt too much recently. It's a scary thing.

8.5 I thought I'd share a pic of me aiming a 22 with my "dead eye". My honey thinks I look like Annie Oakley. All's I need is a skirt and boots.

1. Hello all my fellow FACTOIDS! It's nice to see new and different people in here posting...it keeps it interesting!

2. I haven't posted here in a while. I've been super busy!

3. I have terrific news...I (finally) got a job! Yippee!!!

4. I was offered a position as a Pharmacy Technician and I'm so excited about it. I wanted to become a Pharmacist at one point in my life believe it or not.

5. I start my training on Monday so this weekend I'll have to celebrate!

6. I had a great Memorial Day weekend. We had a picnic for a bunch of our friends on Sunday and we all had the best time!

7. I got a little tipsy, but it felt really good to just let loose. I really needed it.

8. I started power walking this week too. I go with my cousin almost every day and we walk for a good hour. It feels good to be exercising again.

9. Can't think of a 9th fact, so I'll just say that I hope everyone is having a good week!!!

9.5 Sage, I am guessing a 22 doesn't have much recoil, or that stance would really hurt you. Stance you would want for a gun with recoil is stand upright with left foot about one half pace ahead, as though you are walking. Then lean slightly forward into the gun so the recoil doesn't knock you on your butt. The more recoil, the more you want to lean forward. Keep the butt of the gun very firmly planted into your shoulder, so the recoil pushes your sholder back not knocks it back.

BUT, you do look really CUTE with that rifle. :-)

LOL, you guys! Well, if the truth be known, that pic was a pose. I took a pic of him shooting one of his big guns, and he said he had to take one of me, but I was all done shooting by then, so I just pretended. Guess it wasn't a very good pretend picture.

1. Welcome back to this thread, RG!!!

2. I love beets, but especially pickled beets.

3. The three foods I will not eat are: (1) liverwurst, (2) liver, and (3) giblets.

4. I am sorry Kaykay and her boo boo are sick!!

5. I hope Sage gets clear of all this health stuff soon!

6. I am very, very, very happy for both Froggiegirl and Eggie. That is such good news for you both.

7. I was devastated to learn that the daughter of my former boss died today. She was only in her 20s and died from internal bleeding after a gall bladder operation. Cannot understand it. Her mom was in Italy, celebrating her 60th birthday, but was able to make it back in time to be with her dd before she died.

8. My ds decided to make a change in his lfe. He will be moving to FL in 2 weeks. Moving from my mom's house in DE to stay with a very close friend and his wife and baby until he gets settled. (DS filmed their wedding video a couple of years ago.) They have a lovely home and nice yard. DS' current company allowed him to transfer there. (I am drawing a blank right now about which city.)

9. I made reservations for Mystic today! So the October get-together feels more real to me now.

10. I am glad Tess is back and hope Charlie's docs can fix him up pronto.

1. My best friend STILL hasn't had her baby yet. They're inducing on Thursday if she doesn't have it, well, today! OMG! I didn't realize it's Wednesday already! I'm all thrown off from being off work on Monday!

2. She's huge and she's a little freaked out because they told her it's 8 and a half pounds right now and when they told her sister her baby was 7 pounds they were a pound under. She can't have an epidural or anything because she's allergic to another drug in the same drug family and she could end up having a heart attack if she was given it.

3. Will it ever stop raining? Wisconsin is becoming Lake Wisconsin! All the farm fields have lakes in the middle of them so it's messing up the crop planting schedules. Plus it's just a ridiculous, muddy mess!

4. School, as of 3:10 pm today, is officially out for the summer and I need to find a job because no school=no subbing=a very broke Kaili!

4.1 I forgot to tell you guys! I got my tickets to go see my dad! I'm going from the 12th until the 19th . Yay! Usually I fly out of Appleton, but Green Bay was over $100 cheaper at the time so I guess I can handle a 20 minute drive to the airport. The only bad thing is on the way back I only have 52 minutes in Mineapolis and that airport is way too hard to get across quickly! It usually can take me a good 40 minutes to get off my flight in the regional jet area and haul my butt down to the main terminal. It'll be harder on the way back when I first have to wait to get off a full size jet, then make it down there to the regional ones and without fail, mine will be the very end gate. Oh! And it's an evening flight so it's got a better chance of being late/delayed anyway. Ahhh- at least I have an hour and a half on the way out there! :-)

1. I am not sleeping worth a dang this week. I thought briefly about taking a nap later, but can't do that or I won't sleep tonight either.

2. Sis is watching the nephews this week while their parents are on their honeymoon. When I called yesterday, my oldest neice was chasing youngest nephew with an eyeliner pencil yelling that she just wanted to give him a makeover and make him pretty. He might only be 3 but he knew boys weren't supposed to be pretty. They finally settled on fighting before she could seperate them. To be the nice sis I am, lol, I'm going to pick the kids up for a few hours later this afternoon and give her some peace and quiet.

3. There are so many parties we have to go to this month that we're now juggling. 1 party this weekend, 2 on the 12th, 2 on the 19th, 1 on the 26th. And I have no clue when fathers day is! Or when we'll have time to celebrate Mow's birthday. LOL, at least it will keep the kids entertained since they get out of school around the 16th!

4. Registration for college classes started yesterday. I'm still waiting on my appointment card to register and have a feeling by the time I get it, the classes I really want will be full. Woo hoo, I just checked and all four online classes are still open. Now if they will just stay that way until it's my turn to register I'll be a happy camper!

5. With the kids out of school and Darren working 12 hour days, online classes are the best way for me to take classes. So much easier and more convienient since I won't have to worry about his schedule and mine conflicting or who will watch the kids when he has to work late.

Yay! Thanks Kaili! My calender in the den doesn't list holidays so I'm always a little slow to figure out what is when, lol.
