8.4 Readonly, I gave lousy directions back there to Ohiomobprincess, obvious to me now, because you followed the directions--but didn't number correctly. You must start over at 1. EACH time you post-- and list enough facts to take your post to one beyond the previous poster or use a fraction (expressed in decimals) of the last number used when only wanting to comment on some previous poster's comment. Example of regular, 'full' protocol posting: 1. Boo Boo 1. Dodo 2. Dodo 1. Coo Coo 2. Coo Coo 3. Coo Coo 1. Foo Foo 2. Foo Foo 3. Foo Foo 4. Foo Foo And, let's say Boo Boo wants to comment on something previously posted--quickly--and doesn't want to go through the correct numbering protocol above. In that case, Boo Boo can post with: 4.1 gabgabgab or the last number used--with any variation of a decimal after it, in sequence of course. So . . . the next person--like you, for instance, would begin again using the proper 'full' numbering sequence (if intending to post something new, that is, and not just comment on someone's post). 1. Readonly 2. Readonly 3. Readonly 4. Readonly 5. Readonly Now, in the RL case in your post above, you had two choices, as noted below. Either: Begin at 1 and list your facts to 9 of them (because the last 'full' poster had listed 8.) ---or--- Use the last number listed with a decimal after it. (Since 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 were already used, and Racsan wanted to comment on the car comment, he/she? used a variation of the decimal protocol, 8.1A--which is fine. ) Since you had something NEW to say, and not comment on the previous posters' posts, you actually should have begun at 1 and listed enough facts to take you to 9 facts. (Or you could have waited til someone finished up the 10, and after someone posted a 1. Then you would have listed your facts as 1 and 2 (instead of 8 and 9, as you had. With me? Sorry--I was way too general in my previous directions. This only appears complicated. It's not, really. Now don't get confused by Urgrace's numbering, followed by Ginger's. Urgrace just didn't want to correct you--and started at 1. Then Ginger was most likely posting at the same time as Urgrace. So she didn't realize there was already a 1. (I was so long-winded, I didn't know either had posted.) The real correction to this would either be to ignore REadonly's numbering error, and start at 1.; have Ginger add a point 2. And then have the next person do 3 facts. We'll all figure it out!

1. Whew, thanks, Ginger and BR!!! 2. Ginger, I absolutely adored listening to you talk! Hope we can meet in person sometime. I heard the best story about you from Reader, but don't want to steal anyone's thunder. 3. I made Ed a late breakfast of my homemade fruit cup, 3 smallish pancakes and bacon. I was bad and had two pancakes. We're both STILL stuffed---but he wants to go out to dinner again tonight!! 4. I have to go to New Haven myself tomorrow to pick up Ed's packing strips. Oh well, it will be a nice drive; I'll just take my time.

1. Yippee, I'm looking forward to hearing about the mysterious Mystic meet! 2. Herckleperckle is a schtickler! 3. Is Racsan pronounced Rock-san? (Roxanne) because that is what I have started interpreting as your name! 4. It's so nice to see the new 'guys' posting in here. 5. My hubby is treating me to homemade hamburgers & french fries tonight. Yum. I'll have to mow the lawn to get rid of the extra pounds. UGH

1. I can't wait to hear all the news! 2. Herck has got to be the NICEST friend in the world! 3. I'm going to Grace's for dinner. 4. We've got to look for another car too. We now have 2 kids driving and 2 cars just don't cut it. 5. I have to get ready to go to Mom's. 6. She has finally stopped calling me the Gestapo.

1. I went for a nice long walk in the woods today. 2. The weather could not have been more perfect...cool, crisp, and sunny. 3. Thanks to the snowmobilers, the path is even better than ever. 4. The trees were lovely...crimson, gold, yellow, orange, green, and my favorites are the ones that have all of the above in each leaf. 5. We were gone for two hours and enjoyed ourselves immensely...wish someone were taking me out for supper for the second night in a row! 6. And I tried to stamp a birthday card for my daughter when I got home, but failed miserably. 7. And I haven't had anything but molasses crisps for supper yet.

1. can't wait to read everyone's mystic tales, and hopefully see some pictures, too. (hey, i'm not above groveling) 2. went and seen the movie "open water" today. OMG. i have never had any desire to go scuba diving, and this movie only reinforced that. very disturbing movie. 3. yesterday morning i went to my niece's kindergarten soccer game. they have actually learned which goals are their's and which is the other team's. that being said, my niece's team won the game! yay! 4. i went to get my weekly dose of sun at the tanning salon after the game, and ran into a good high school friend, and talked to her for awhile, we exchanged phone #'s etc. 5. the tan ended up being free, as it was customer appreciation days, and i even got to use the cyber bed....and got a certificate for 3 free tans for filling out a survey. that will be 3 more weeks free! woo hoo! 6. last night, i went to the "truck and tractor pulls" with a friend and her family. those events are just a little too "redneckish" for me, and not to mention we froze our asses off! (it got down to 39 degrees (F) last night!!!) 7. after that we watched parts of the blue collar comedy tour. i love bill engvall's "here's your sign" lol. people can ask some ridiculous questions! 8. i bought "13 going on 30" previewed dvd from blockbuster earlier this week! LOVE that movie!

1. I want to hear all about Mystic too! And see pictures! 2. I love HP's explanation of the "rules"! Thanks HP! 3. We spent 3 hours at Chuck E. Cheese yesterday. 4. Jake has been begging to go for weeks, but we have been really busy, so yesterday we finally went. 5. We had a blast! We found this machine in the back that wasn't working right and no matter what we did it spit out 30 tickets at a time. It was awesome! 6. We ended up with about 1000 tickets, I was cracking up when I gave them to the lady, she probably thought we stole them or something. 7. Jake picked out a gumball machine, that is actually pretty cool. We put skittles in it for him instead of the gum it came with though. 8. Today, I went grocery shopping, painted our new pumphouse that we have been building for what seems like weeks, pulled weeds and mowed the lawn. 9. I'm tired.

1. I'm home, too, and laughing my butt off at all the recaps! Such memories! It was truly a fabulous weekend. 2. Monday is my fullest and busiest day of work, so I won't be posting any reports or pictures (still have pictures to post from the birthday party!!) until sometime this week. I hate having to work

1. Apparently Nic's boss is gone, did ya know?! 2. It's been since Friday night at 9:30 since I had my last cigarette. 3. I've decided that Tootsie Pops make a great cigarette substitute. 4. I've already finished crocheting 1/3 of an afghan - I wasn't really a crocheter before this weekend. 5. Tim has been relegated to the basement if he wants to smoke - so far it's working. 6. Today felt like the longest drive to work, but I made it and that's what matters - thank goodness for Tootsie Pops!!!

1. Good for you, Djgirl! 2. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? 3. Will the world really never know? 4. Seriously, I'm proud of you. 5. My sister gave it up one whole year ago! 6. It must be hard though if Tim still smokes. 7. In the long run, you'll be happy that you are quitting.

1. Deej, people in AA who both smoked and drank tell me that quitting smoking is more difficult. 2. Good luck! 3. You can do it! 4. Vacanick, I'm sorry to hear your boss is gone. I know that upsets you. 5. I feel a little anxious at the moment and am not sure why. 6. I need to go to the grocery store soon. My food supplies are dwindling to nothing. 7. HMT has a senior homeroom. I'm senior class sponsor... I sense many "necessary meetings" with him in the future. 8. I'm really anxious. Shit. I hope I am not going to have a panic attack. <breathes through nose>

1. Of course I'm playing while my boss is away ! 2. But I'll also get my work done as well. A little of each. 3. Congratulations DJgirl on stopping smoking! 4. I think Tootsie Pops are a great substitute. 5. Not to be a downer ... but my mom died last year from lung damage caused by second hand smoke. She never smoked a day in her life. She was only 65 years old. 6. So stopping smoking is great for you and also those you love . 7. If you need any support, we're here for you! 8. It's a great Monday - no boss, no cigarettes - couldn't be better!

1. DANG, 10 again! 2. The painting lady was in my office again, but she took most of the drop cloths, so I think she is done. 3. It still smells! 4. Moved the bookcase and desk back and started dusting the wall/dust/sanding stuff off the piano and books. 5. DANG, I'm tired! I fell asleep with the computer on me last night. Usually I at least put it under the sofa! 6. We have 200, yes 200, preschoolers coming in tomorrow morning for an experience with classical music and the orchestra. YIKES! I really don't know what they are going to be doing, cause someone else is in charge. THAT should be interesting! 7. Tried to go standby on earlier flights to get home sooner, but everything was oversold. Had I had enough sleep, I would have bumped off to get the free ticket. 8. Got home at 11:45 pm....so that was 14 hours of travel compared to the 15 hours of HECTIC travel getting there! 9. None of my music major students wanted to be in class today either. Good thing I had planned on playing some clapping games and other third grade games and songs. They perked up a little bit after that. 10. I'm so glad that I have never had to "stop" smoking or drinking or anything. Getting weaned off of caffeine was bad enough. I DO need to quit eating so much....but dang it, the food in Mystic was just Sooooo yummy! Happy monday, everyone!
