1. Whew! I'm so glad Yankee cleared up Fact #4 about Gingerpooh.

2. I'll be on a 3 hour car ride with her (her being Gingerpooh) soon.

3. Hmmmmm....why does the term "3 hour" make me want to undulate??

1. I Love reading everyones posts and thoughts on this board and I really could care less most of the time if people get the rules right (we all know I don't!) it's usually good for some laughs at least
2. DD's first day of school went so well that at 7:30pm she announced she was going to bed because "I have a big day tomorrow"
3. We have been wanting to get a dog for a long time and now that we have finally purchased a home and I am a stay at home mom again we feel we are finally ready
4. The only problem is I want a Beagle, DH wants a Husky and DD wants a pug...what are we to do?

1. I am sitting here trying to wake up. I am drinking my coffee...checking the BB boards and my email.

2. I just sent my son off to his first day of Junior High. It is so hard to believe how fast he is growing up.

3. I took him and his friend out for lunch and a round of putt-putt golf yesterday. They tried to get me to go to Hooters. They said they heard the chicken wings were good. I told them I was a cool Mom but not that cool.

4. Since I was off, I had planned on getting all the clothes washed up but DH used all the detergent and didn't tell me. I don't feel like getting dressed and going to the store for 1 thing.

5. I think I will go watch some TV shows on HBO on Demand that DS is not allowed while he is at school. I love not working!!

1. The chicken wings ARE good at Hooters. I had a strange Hooters experience at a choir directors convention with a bunch of gay guys....don't ask, but it was hilarious!

2. There is a guy mowing my lawn right now. I expect that his twin brother will be along soon with the trimmer. At least I hope they are the guys I hired.

3. The dang cat scratched me this morning when she didn't quite made the leap to the deck bench. Note: she doesn't like lamb and rice food.

4. I'm said that Leonard Bernstein died. There are great stories about him at Indiana when he would do residencies there. He was friends with one of the former deans, and quite the partier from what I hear.

5. I am getting the last piece to my library unit for my office delivered today. I hope that I can put it together without my Dad's help. It will look awesome!

6. My nephew has his first day of Kindergarten today and he is very excited! Big sister is miffed that her two best friends are not in her class--I think that that is ok--it will keep her from jabbering too much!

1. Schticklers are horses of a different color, has anyone else noticed?

2. I took Herc out for a walk at the cemetery early this morning, with the grass still wet.

3. I let him run when no one is there. He ran the wrong way (not towards the woods), of course. He likes to vary his walks. LOL!

4. We finished our walk ON the leash--with workers nearby cutting the grass.

5. I awoke with a migraine. Ugh. But today I have my allergist appointment, so hopefully I will be able to start taking my Clarinex again after the visit. Took 2 Excedrin Migraine tablets, which helped!

6. My dd is supposed to return my car and vacuum cleaner today. Wanna lay odds she asks for another day or two?

7. (That Marm!) I meant to stop in earlier to say that I checked out the site for that place Eggie visited recently--the body thing. It was really cool. I've never seen anything like that and would have loved it, too!

1. I'm one for following rules too but I'm a Pieces.

2. I have the whole house to myself this week. I now have confirmation that I am not the one to mess it.

3. My son's gf came to spend a day with me since she knew I was alone. It was very sweet, I took her to the fair.

4. I shouldn't be left alone often, I tend to do things like get carried away with hair dye and become addicted to the Olympics.

5. I can't believe it's almost time to put my gardens to bed for the winter. It seems like I just got them ready for the season.

6. I adore reading the facts everyone posts here. It makes me feel so connected to everyone.

7. I'm opposite of HP, I have borrowed my son's car for the two weeks he's been at Annual Training for the National Guard and I have to clean and vacuum it as a thank you.

8. I don't mind clowns but rollercoasters scare the bejeepers outta me.

9. Ok, lost my place at 8 facts, so I'll add that I can't wait until the Mystic gathering.

1. DS has taken up residency on the living room couch.

2. Why would a 19yr sleep on the couch when he has a perfectly fine full size bed in his OWN room?

3. Schticklers dont like questions in the fact threads.

4. I'm just saying, SLEEP IN YOUR ROOM!! OK I understand you CANT FIND YOUR ROOM - completely cluttered, dumped stuff from college, dumped stuff from camping all summer... on top of the clutter dumped from .... *heavy sigh

5. DS #2 has his first hickey.

6. DH hasnt seen it yet.

7. DS #2 wants to get his driver's license.

8. DS#2 broke the rules of curfew. He is still waiting to take the test. Mom of course is punished as mom gets to drive him to his band camps, and his swimming etc. DS is a good kid. He says he didnt reciprocate on the hickey 'cause his gf would've gotten in trouble... um son... do you LIKE getting in trouble? and being made fun of? Just sayin....

1. I'm new to this thread so I'm still learning.

2. I'm a capricorn which I guess makes me stubbord so I'll keep trying until I get it right.

3. Unfortunately I'm at work when I'd rather be at home.

4. I need more coffee to wake myself up .

5. I can't believe summer is almost over.

6. My school age son is devistated that I'm voting for John Kerry. For some reason he's attached himself to George Bush.

7. My 15 year old cat is at home curled up on the couch and I'd rather be there with him watch Ellen.

8. The weather here in California is beautiful, that is what I can see from my cubicle .

9. I heard on the radio this morning that Hamm won the gold medal in the all around from mens gymnastics at the Olympics. Go USA .

1. I guess I must be the biggest stickler of them all.

2. The reason I say that is that I know that "schtickler" is not a word, and that the real word is "stickler."

3. I think "schtickler" is more fun to say, though.

4. I, too, share the active and aggressive dislike of clowns.

5. My new deck, which leads to my new above-ground swimming pool, could be done within the week.

6. It's been a much bigger project than either DW or I had imagined.

7. I'm really looking forward to meeting all the TVCHers who are coming to Mystic.

8. At last count, we were close to 25 people committed to going.

9. I think it's going to be a great weekend for us all, and I'd like a lot more people to join us too.

10. If think you might be able to make it, and you'd like more information about the gathering, send me a PM!

1. I love clowns and some rules but mainly just my rules and I'm a Capricorn too so that means I never listen to anyone else's rules if I don't agree with them. ©

1. Another clown hater here. Between the evil stuffed Poltergiest clown and Pennywise from Stephen King's IT, I will never be a clown lover again!

2. Another quiet, boring day in the house. I have already got the kids to school, ran a couple of errands, and cleaned the house and was still done by about 9:15. No idea what the heck I'll do with the rest of my day!

1. Maybe Mware can give me pointers on vacuuming an above ground pool....pretty please? It appears that you have to hook it up to the pump. Last time I messed with the pump I had water gushing all over everywhere! Fortunately, I remembered my basic physics and raised the pump above the pool and the water stopped gushing. Needless to say, everything was soaked!

2. Clowns don't bother me.

3. You would think that being a Pisces, I would know how to take care of fish, pools, waterfall gardens, etc. I'm still working on it. I think that is why I just LOVED my new house when house hunting. I have always liked being around water. I am allergic to eating fish, though...which makes sense for a Pisces, I guess! I'm getting ready to go to the fish and pool stores for help today!

1. Do not understand why so many people dislike clowns - a bad experience at the circus?

2. I like my own rules

3. War - you are welcome here anytime and can just clean to your hearts content. lol

4. ETA Marm snuck in there so now I have to come up with another fact - umm - I love Neil Diamond.

1. I love Neil Diamond too!

2. I have another killer headache today. Not a migrane like yesterday, but a paralyzing headache none-the-less.

3. I don't know why I'm posting here, I should be in bed.

4. They've been calling for crappy weather here yesterday, today, tomorrow, and Saturday...not a drop of rain yesterday, and the sun is shining as I type this.

5. I could've gotten a ton of laundry done and hung outside to dry these past two days! Weathermen...

1. Got done at the allergist's. Just the skin test this round--nothing showed so far. I can take Clarinex again til 7 days prior to my next appt. Yay!

2. Next time they told me I would be having the interdermal (sp?) test. I take it the needles go in deeper that round.

3. I came home and it was time to walk Herc again. It was 1:00 pm and I took him to the Warehouse area --that Herc knows as "the groundhog place." We did see a groundhog. They must be hard of hearing, cuz we got within 5 feet of him before he noticed us. Yes, I kept my varmint chaser on a leash, so no damage to either one! Sure got Herc's heart pumpin' though! He'll have a good afternoon nap.

4. I just don't do well in hot weather, and though I see it is only 81 now, it felt like 98. Guess it's the fast walking we do. When we got back to the car (which I leave running so it is nice and cold when we return), we both collapsed for about a minute. Then Herc got his ice water and I had my Diet Coke with Lime.

5. On the way home from the allergist's (which is in the fancy neighborhood of Ridgefield), I stopped and bought a cushion for our patio chair. Brought it home and discovered it is too wide. Now I will use my brain and measure first. So it has to go back today so I don't get into an argument with the guy.

6. Ed waited for me to get home to prepare him breakfast. (We have fresh fruit and cereal readily available, mind you.) He is liking this patient stuff just a shade too much, I think. He is starting to feel better, but I'd say he has a good two weeks before he is ready to go back to work. (He tires very easily. I've got to get him moving more.)

1. Wargod, those two are the EXACT reason I hate clowns too. Those, and that evil clown that Pee-Wee chained his bike to in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

2. I'm just running around the board right now gathering info for tonight's update.

3. Did I mention I hate clowns?

4. I should be working

5. It's been raining all day here and it's so nice. Nice break from the 100 degree days!

1. This is like the only thread I read these days.

2. I feel like I know so many of you and can just imagine being with you while you are doing your things that you share.

3. We're all just regular folks, and I really like that a lot.

4. I love to people watch. (Maybe that's why I mostly lurk.) We are such interesting creatures.

5. My GYN gave me the all clear to resume all normal activities. Finally! after 5 months of restricted activity I can begin to do more things.

6. I have gained 8 lbs since June, and my clothes are getting tight, so I'm very happy to be able to be more active again. When the weather starts to cool off, I'll start walking again - probably in Sept., but in the meantime, I'm swimming.

7. I almost hate to reveal this, but it seems so unusual and actually it's funny... but, my GYN actually prescribed intercourse for my continued post-ops healing.

1. I'm timid around people whose faces are hidden behind masks or garish makeup, and who pull hidden things out of their clothing. Hence my fear/dislike of clowns...and of little ole men in trench coats, shuffling around the park.

2. I have been watching some of the Olympics on the Canadian station during the day, and on NBC at night. I also listen to the news coverage, even if I haven't watched an event yet.

3. This is confusing me. I forget which events I've watched, and if I already know the outcome, or if this event looks like one I've seen but is actually another round!

4. I'm a Libra and fit many of the characteristics attributed to Librans.

5. DH's uncle called today. He lives in England, and I love his accent. We have only met him once.

6. We should have a new baby niece or nephew any day now! Actually, our niece is having the baby, so is it a grand- or a great-niece or nephew?

7. I'm glad this thread is so active because it's one of my favorites. Thank you to all the factoids and schticklers and to the stickler, too!

8. I'm almost a year late for my "annual" physical. I may have to kick myself in the butt to get there. I have a new doctor and don't wanna go!

ETA to say: I think I want Sage's doctor.

1. It has been way too long since I have posted in here.

2. But I am back! (and posting 9 facts!)

3. My sinsuses are acting up - I have a headache.

4. I broke down and called the allergists office today.

5. Question one from them was are you doing your sinus rinse twice a day like we told you to?

6. My response - No I'm doing it once a day. I don't like it. It's uncomfortable. It is gross. And it makes my ears plug up.

7. We clarified what meds I was supposed to be on. They recommended something over the counter for the headache. They called a refil in of the med I was supposed to be on.

8. I hauled my tush to town after work and got refill and the over the counter recommendations. Naturally it is pouring when I do so.

9. I promised to do this sinus rinse twice a day - but that doesn't mean I'm going to like it. It is still going to be gross.

1. i SCHTICKLERS! (i think i am the one who first called them the incorrect term, lol, it is more fun to say!)

2. i hate clowns!

3. i am wondering what a sinus rinse is? i have year-round allergies, and sounds like something that might benefit me.

4. i got my montgomery genrty pics back today. we were in the 14th row, so they aren't all that great. i think it is time to buy a camera with zoom, for as many concerts as i go to!

5. i had ramen noodles and bacon for supper...SOOO healthy, it is unbelievable!

6. this will be the first week in 3, that i have worked all five days. sucks! although, last friday i was SO hungover, i am glad that it isn't last week!

7. i can't believe the summer is almost over, it seems like we didn't even had one here it has been so cool and rainy almost every weekend!

8. i am on pins and needles about bb tonight. i am also worried for the twins, whom most people seem to dislike now. i'm still a fan, though.

9. my little niece starts kindergarten this year (a week from today). it is kinda freaking me out, seems like she is still just a baby. my sis is really freaking out!

10. i ordered a couple of cds from bmg the other night....heart's greatist hits 1985-1995, and montgomery gentry's my town. (kady, it's because of hell yeah, mainly, which was AWESOME when they performed it LIVE!)
