I can try to explain it, Vacanick. --> I were starting this thread from scratch, I would start by posting 1 fact about me (#1). --> Then if you wanted to go next, you would post 2 facts about you (#1 and #2). --> Then the next person would post 3 facts about themselves (#1, #2, and #3). --> Then, after it has built up to someone doing 10 facts, it starts all over again at #1. In the example above, the next person would do 10 facts -- and then the person after them would do just 1 fact. (The decimal points are often used when someone wants to interject something or when they're being silly or just having fun!) Does that make sense?

1. I'd like to point out to Vacanick that some of us (okay, me) try not to be the one to do 10 facts. 2. Really, it's only because I can't think of 10 things to say about myself. 3. I got some pictures back today from my trip to Tennessee a couple weeks ago. 4. I love the mountains. 5. Right now (wait, that's another thread), I'm waiting for my mom and dad to bring dd home. 6. It's awful dang quiet around here without her. 7. I should probably try to enjoy it. 8. But no, instead I'm lonely. 9. What I really should do is get off my butt and exercise. 10. Eh, maybe in a little while.

Okay, now that this has been explained to me, I'll try. 1. I want to thank Yankee and Cindori for helping me to understand!

1. LOL @ Froggie, I knew there were 3 shticklers, I just couldn't find the third one! 2. When did GIRLS start calling boys? Call me old-fashioned but I think that's a little forward. I mean, my son is not even 30 yet! 3. He's still on the phone with her! She called at 5:00! Can you tell Mom is not handling this well? 4. A shtickler is a factoid nazi. They keep our numbers in line!

so as there are no inside stories, a schtickler is someone who is a schtickler when it comes to rules... so like, when someone... cant imagine who certainly not moi goes outside of the rules and maybe posts.... ummmm like questions, or jumps in and says something that is not numbered... then it totally confuses everyone and gets off topic... it takes a good schtickler to get us back on track....

1. Welcome to our newbies and welcome back to our "it's been too long-bies"! 2. I have discovered that if you do aquatic walking and siscors kicks in the pool, the dead leaves come up off the pool floor and you can grab them with the skimmer. I'll have a clean pool by tomorrow if I can get another "walking" session in. DANG, I have to figure out how to use the pool vac. 3. Cleaned the fish filter, but the water is very green. I am expecting dead koi tomorrow...I will go buy an algae eater tomorrow. 4. I got my lawn service set up. It's a set of twins (maybe they should be on Big Brother). Yeah! Now to get someone who can "pet" sit when I'm gone. I'm sure that I can get a student to do it! 5. I now have 6 hours reserved per week on the big auditorium organ. YIPPEE. The retiring organ professor was very nice. Seems like everyone is really nice. The skeptic in me is waiting for the other shoe to drop. (I'm hoping it won't!)

1. Marm, I grew up about 75 miles from where you live now and I can tell you the the chances of that other shoe never dropping are pretty good. People are just really nice in that area. 2. Gotta' remember next time I get to go home to set up a meet with Marm. Too close to miss. 3. I've spent the last week issuing student id's at school and have processed almost 1500 of the little darlings. Just 500 more to go. LOL 4. I have found that the boys at school are more likely to complain about their id pictures than the girls. Go figure. 5. We went tonight and "rented to buy" the beginning percussion set for ds for the school band. (What were we thinking?????? Drums!!!!!!!} 6. I am very grateful to have a wonderful family to come home to after working all day.

1. Schticklers are VIP's with big hearts and perform an important functions in this adorable thread. 2. Schticklers love to scroll through all the facts and say "AHHHHhhhhh HAAAAaaaaa!!!" 3. Schticklers are sometimes misunderstood. 4. Schticklers cause some of the Factoids to undulate at times. 5. Schticklers just plug their ears and keep on schtickling. 6. Have you hugged your schtickler today?? 7. Sometimes Schticklers must use the edit mode to keep the facts in order.

7.5 People using decimals points instead of adhering to the RULES and doing 8 factoids LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO, drive schticklers into a schtickling frenzy.

Good thinking fellow Schtickler!! 7.52 Ya know....I can't remember who, but a good-hearted Factoid suggested that a MOD could put the Facts How To's at the top of this thread. <...notice I didn't say the "r" word, which jbeany says are made to be broken....> 7.6 Edit Mode: Silly, I just read your post about your silly eyeballs reading my "schtickler" facts in a sh*tty way...LOL!!

1. Fine! I will do 8! 2. I had a nice day at home today, minus the migrane I woke up with. 3. In the past week I've received 1 wedding shower invitation, 3 wedding invites, and 2 bachelorette party invites. 4. I'm going to be a very busy girl the next few months! 5. I love going tanning! The little bit of color I actually get makes me feel good about myself. Anything is better than pasty white. 6. I had BBQ chicken for dinner tonight...my sweetie is a great cook! 7. I love green tea! I think it's all I've been drinking for the past two weeks. 8. I ran out of stuff to say.

1. My name is Yankee, and I am a schtickler. Following the rules is in my nature as a Virgo, of course. 2. I like peanut butter and banana sandwiches. 3. I have an unfortunate addiction to coca-cola. 4. I was thinking a lot about Ginger today, and hope she had a good birthday. Ginger is a special woman, for those who have not had the good fortune of meeting her. 5. I often think of things I would like to post in the News and Views section, but I nearly always choose to self-censor myself. 6. I run my own business, and travel a lot for my work. 7. In fact, I will quite possibly need to be in San Francisco next week. 8. I live in beautiful Vancouver, and there are two local artists I am really into right now: one is a painter, DB Edwards. Beautiful, atmospheric paintings -- I own one and cannot wait until I can afford to buy another. The second artist is a musical group called The Organ. They're an all-woman group strongly influenced by bands like The Cure, Joy Division, etc., but with a sound all their own. 9. I hate clowns. They are creepy.

1. I wanted to self-edit myself -- In my #4 fact previously, I did not mean to imply that UNLESS you had met Ginger in person you WOULDN'T know she is a special woman. You definitely WOULD know that just from her posts here at TVCH. I hope that makes sense. Sorry, Ginger, if I'm making your ears burn. (Landi, did you like my emphasis? ) 2. I was just beat to #1, so being the schtickler I am, I'll post another fact about me to keep this thread on its schtickling (wee! that was fun) way}. OK, the fact is: I love rollercoasters.
