1. Jbean, Kaykay can probably be more helpful, cuz I just started this whole nose/sinus thing. But my ENT gave me a sample Sinus Rinse. Evidently you squirt the saline rinse into your nostrils while in the shower because it is so messy. (I haven't used it yet.) He recommended it by telling me he never, ever misses a day of work, but one day, he had such a bad sinus infection he thought he was going to have to call in. He grabbed this sinus rinse and tried it--and was feeling so incredibly better it was remarkable. And he went to work. He said I was to use it only when I had a sinus infection. Sounds like Kaykay has to do it routinely, though.

2. Aaah, jbean! Well, the gross part is is that the saline solution comes out your mouth. That is pretty gross. Guess that's why the shower is the best way to use it.

1. SUCCESS today at learning how to vaccuum the pool and take care of the fish. Now if I could get the cat to eat the food before the flies swarm and infest it, life would be good outside. Need to get rid of the 'skeeters!

2. I will be swelling up later tonight cause of all the skeeter bites I got tonight. DANG!

3. So, Sage....did you get a partner with your prescription? Sounds like my kind of GYN! LOL!

1. I think Marm's solution to the flies in the cat food would be to bring the cat inside.

2. I bought a program to update my website today. Super easy!!!!!

3. Sage's gyn doctor sounds like mine, he's too funny.

4. BB's on! Gotta Go!

4.2 My GYN is the BEST! She's awesome and I need to figure out a special gift and card to give her. She looks forward to seeing me every time I have an appointment. She does special research because of me. I am treated with great care and feel very special by her and her staff.

4.3 Marm... um yes, I do have a very willing partner who's been in my life a couple of months now, has been very patient all this time knowing that the day will come when I'll be healed, and we'll be able to... uh you know.

4.4 I'm a Pisces, and am not such a schtickler for the rules.

1. Herkcle - that's the stuff. But I do it per the directions bent over the bathroom sink.

2. It is messy.

3. website for those who are curious is www.sinusrinse.com

4. I have chronic sinus problems that lead to a lot of inflamation and I'm supposed to do it twice per day.

5. Pisces - but I don't believe in horriscopes, closet schtickler, clowns - take em or leave em.

5.14 Yes, Puppy. It's easy to see how we are sucked in . . . your doc gives you free samples, and then, you (meaning all of us) just kind of go along. I am wondering why I am paying for a Tier 3 drug, Clarinex rather than something else a little cheaper. (Doc told me it lasts 24 hours, which is nice, but I have traditional health care coverage. That means I must pay upfront for all prescription drugs and this one costs me $137.99 for one month's supply.) Luckily, my dh and I met my deductible and coinsurance maximums some time ago, so I get reimbursed 100% at this point. But come January, the annual maximums have to be met all over again. (I miss my managed care coverage for this reason only.)

1. Okay! I'll do 7!!

2. I'm excited and I'll need a double dose of intercourse to help me sleep. Thanks for the great suggestion RG!

3. The reason I'm so excited is because I am completely moved into my spankin' brand new office!!

4. It's a virgin office.

5. I met with the Construction Director this afternoon and ordered a credenza type lateral file drawer and some built in bookshelves which will be useful and really add to my office space.

6. I've also got to pick out some artwork/pictures for two of my walls. They look pretty naked.

7. Speaking of naked......

1. Hi Citruscitygal! Nice to see you!

2. Today is my last "official" day of summer vacation. Weekends don't really count because I would have them off anyway.

3. It has been an interesting summer.

4. Tomorrow a friend is coming over for a moviefest! I am really looking forward to it.

5. Sunday is my niece's birthday party. She will be 2 on Aug. 27th.

6. People were out of control in here last night.

7. I have to clean house today.

8. But first, my last nap of summer vacation is a necessity.

9. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

1. It is 1:11am for me here and I can't sleep so what the heck-I'll do 10 facts!
2. I go through fits of insomnia at least once a month-I have decided to actually start keeping a journal of my daily activities, food intake and mental state so that maybe I can play doctor and get down to the bottom of this!
3. For now I will just get caught up on all my Tivo programs-right now I am watching the True Story of Hidalgo...pretty interesting
4. Today was my last day at work and to tell you the truth it was a little bitter/sweet.
5. I liked having conversations with adults every day and I know I will get lonely as a stay at home mom again (the loneliness is what led me to this wonderful place to begin with...so maybe it's not such a bad thing!)
6. I am going back to school this semester to go after my BA-i've decided to stick with Social Science right now because honestly my mind is still not made up on what I want for a career!
7. My dream for a long time now has been to work in an adoption agency
8. I think I should follow my dream
9. After watching that movie the other night Festival Express I have become inspired to put together a book-I wish I could say more, but I am afraid someone might steal my idea!
10.I am going with my friend to scope out wedding sites-she is planning a medeival/celtic wedding and I am the maid of honor-this one is going to be a blast!!

1. Welcome back to the lonely and boring (once the kids are back in school!) stay at home parent club, Silly! There's several of us dealing with it right now. I still think we need a thread, lol.

1. I interviewed for a great job yesterday. Althought I already have a pretty good job, this possible new job is something that I'd really enjoy doing. Not just settling. And my son is excited because I would have summers off! Me too!
2. We're driving to Tahoe today with friends, to celebrate the end of summer. Tahoe is so beautiful! We're only a few hours away but we don't get there enough. I'm really excited!

1. I met new friends yesterday at the new faculty orientation! YIPPEE!!! Three of us even went out for dinner. This is going to be a great place to work! We figured out that we were the last ones to leave the provost's reception because we didn't have anyone to go home to! Ironically, two of my new friends are lawyers (images of my "I have no personality" lawyer-ex-husband were hard to ban!)

2. I spoke in German with a lady who was raised in Germany. She teaches about internet security. My colleague in music had a conversation in French. WHEW, it is really good to be with faculty who are multi-lingual and who have actually travelled. One of our other lunch companions was the Zoology guy who is a fish and reptiles expert, and he gave me more advice on the fish pond.

3. Here are some questions NOT to ask in front of the university administration and 60 other new faculty....all asked by a social worker named Hussein who left tenure at another university.

a. (to the chancellor--this is our president) "My office is unbearably hot, please do something about it, I mean BURNING hot.

b. (to the provost) Do we have to pay parking tickets?

--at this point the whole back row was ready to eject him out of the auditorium--

The provost didn't call on him anymore for questions, but he "butted-in" to the faculty panel with his own comments.

Oh, and then there was a woman with some sort of Brittish accent (and a green card, she revealed) who wanted to know how people organize their summer....SHEESH, if you have a career, you alternate going to conferences to present papers with actually WRITING the papers, and doing RESEARCH for the papers.....and perhaps lolling on the beach for a day or two.

WHERE did they get these people? Didn't they troll the university's web pages???

Anyway, this will be a GREAT place to work, and as soon as I get my printer formatted and two more syllabi finished, I'll be ready for classes on Monday!

1. Today is the funeral of a wonderful amazing advocate for kids.

2. Her name is Joyce Kolton, and she was the school nurse. It doesnt begin to encompass her spirit.

3. When ds#1 was first mainstreamed in 4th grade, she couldnt figure out why he would get "sick" during "down" times (lunch, recess, gym - not math etc)

4. She took the time to find out, and was his best advocate - she followed him to the 4 other schools as he grew (including high school) Actually, she has a daughter the same age. I dont know if I can go to the funeral by myself, I've been asking people if tgey are going, its just so sad :-( I want her daughter to know Joyce mattered, and made a difference, and will be missed....

1. (((((Reader))))), so sorry to hear about your friend. what happened to her?

2. normally i like my job ok, but i have to say this week has been pure hell there. in fact i went against everything i believe in, and went in for a couple of hours this morning (ON A SATURDAY....MY ONLY FREE DAY ALL WEEK!!!)) at 5am, no less!

3. the day did get better, since i spent the better part of it shopping....one of my most favorite things to do!

4. i bought a personal shower/bachelorette party gift for my friend who is getting married next saturday. it is a little pink 2 piece teddy. she is all about pink. we are requested to wear pink and black to the party. lol

5. i also bought myself a dress to wear to the above said wedding. i look hot in the dress, if i do say so myself. it is a black wrap-around style dress, it makes me look thin! WOO HOO! i only spent $15 on each of the things i bought! am i good, or what?

6. i have a weird sinus thing going on. i hate allergies. my doctor told me that they will just continue to get worse the older i get because of the high amount of allergens in this area. NICE. can't wait to see how it will be 10 years from now, if they are already this bad. BLECK!

1. I learned how to vacuum the pool, and actually did it today. (we had rain yesterday). It took less than 30 minutes, including assembling the hoses. It's kind of fun, and will be a chore that I won't mind at all.

2. One of my new friends called today and gave me the list of phone numbers for the others. She did her doctorate at IU, too.

3. I had to clean the fish filter again today. I'm hoping to get this algae thing under control.

4. I saw some Canadian geese flying in formation today.

5. I haven't been getting as much work done as I need to today, sigh!

6. I'm liking this season of BB. I rarely watched the last two seasons, but this one is interesting.

7. I slept part of the night in my bed. For those of you who know me, you know that I usually fall asleep on the couch with the TV on and the laptop on my lap. It was really restful sleep. Maybe I'll try it again tonight! LOL!

1. I took my two oldest grandkids to walk in the kiddie parade associated with a fair and rodeo in a small town in our area.

2. My granddaughter was a Queen Bee, and her sign said, "You can be a Busy Bee at the New Windsor Fair & Rodeo."

3. My grandson was a pirate, and his sign said, "Get Your BOOTY to the New Windsor Fair and Rodeo."

4. Neither one got a prize, but it was a lot of fun.

5. While we were waiting for the results we went to the fair.

6. We rode the Scrambler, the Wild Strawberries and the Ferris Wheel.

7. I hate the Ferris Wheel.

8. But there isn't much I wouldn't do to make those kids happy!
