1. Hello to all my fellow factoids! I was afraid I was gonna have to be the schtickler, but then I saw Spy's post, lol! Hopefully it'll get us back on track! 2. I'm home from work on my "lunch" break. I should be eating dinner, but instead I'm posting here. My belly won't be very happy later on tonight!

1. I love John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band! Are you going Landi? 2. Lost, . The numbering in here can be kind of confusing occassionally. 2.5 Mom took the kids to see Shrek 2 yesterday. Kota was so excited she got all prettied up putting on her best clothes, and jewlry, even wore a tiara. Of course, the tiara originally belonged to one of her barbie dolls, but she looked might cute with the tiny little tiara perched atop her head.

1. We're only about 36 degrees warmer than Spy today. 2. I'm not even going to play it off (usually as a desert rat I like to say it's not that bad, but I'd be lying big time now, LOL.) It is HOT. They are calling for thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow. Not seeing much on clouds though. 3. Spy, yippee! on picking a date! I'm so excited for you and Flyboy! 4. Our tuition prices at the CC are being raised again. Last fall it was $11 a unit (or 33-44 bucks a class.) Last spring, it was raised to $18. I read in the paper they will now be $26 and if you've already paid, you'll get a bill for the difference.....sigh. 5. I was already freaking out about having books to buy and a parking permit, on top of getting the kids ready for back to school. That's getting to be alot of money. Now I am considering dropping one of my classes because I'm feeling guilty about how much it's going to cost. 6. Oops, beat to five. Yay Landi! How fun to be able to go!

01. I'm totally lost on the numbering. Are we all making our own rules now? 01. Sorry about the house, Half. What type of auction was it? 01. I'm walking you through your digital camera instructions, GT2? I must have forgotten to write that down.... 01. We have another Urgent Weather Message from the National Weather Service: ... Excessive Heat Warning From Noon Until 8 PM Today ... A Strong Area Of High Pressure Will Allow High Temperatures To Peak Out Well Above Normal Again Today Across The Desert Southwest. Temperatures Will Be Around 112 Degrees In The Las Vegas Valley... 116 Degrees Along The Colorado River Valley And Around 125 Degrees At Death Valley. It Appears These Above Normal Temperatures Will Persist Into At Least Thursday. Children...The Elderly...And People With Chronic Ailments Are Usually The First To Suffer From The Heat. Heat Exhaustion...Heat Cramps...Or In Extreme Cases...Heat Stroke May Result From Prolonged Exposure To These Conditions. Friends... Relatives...Or Neighbors Should Check On People At Risk. Effects Can Be Minimized By Reducing Outdoor Activities...Drinking Plenty Of Water Or Non-Alcoholic Beverages...And Wearing Light-Colored Clothing. 01. Meanwhile, I've been changing the temperature by checking out the various Weatherbug stations. The school .97 miles away was 105, the school 1.76 miles away was 110, and Nellis AFB, 4.2 miles away, was 99-degrees. So, in just a few minutes, I lowered the temp 6 whole degrees! 01. That said, I wouldn't mind a little rain. NOT TS Bonnie or Hurricane Charley (I so wanted Clyde....Bonnie and Clyde...) level, but a nice summer storm. 01. I received a call from my disability process caseworker. She wanted to see how I was doing, ask me why I hadn't put down that I was being treated for depression (A: Didn't think about it.), did it make it difficult for me to work (A: Only for my co-workers, superiors, and anyone coming into my radius.), and was I on medication (A. Yes, and told what and how much) and was I in counseling? (A: My first counselor died suddenly after we had been together 7 months, my 2nd moved out of state after 3 months; my 3rd worked for a clinic where they had to rotate out after 6 weeks so there would be no attachments, I tried it, but it wasn't working for me, so I gave up.) 01. She also wanted to know if I was willing to see another doctor. I told her yes, I just needed advanced notice of a day or two so I could work out transportation. This struck me as a positive point for the process. At least, I hope so. 01. I'm working on today's update. Haven't found anything interesting in the historical events to hook a weather report too, so I'll likely skip that one. 01. Punk is doing very well--I think he's gained about a pound. ETA: I started this at 11:30--I do know the rules, but decided to have some fun anyway. Besides, I thought 10 fact placements were always exempt--which is what I have.

1. It isn't as hot as Vegas here, but it is dang hot! Almost 100 once again. Ugh. 2. My mom and dad loved their DVD of our old home movies I gave them. I made a copy for my sister too and they all cried when I gave it to them. 3. I borrowed my moms carpet shampooer to clean the one room in my house that actually has carpet. But since it is the room that faces south it is about 87 degrees in there and I haven't done it yet. Maybe by November it will be cool enough. 4. I have been going to the gym a couple times a week and walking 3 times a week. Not noticing much difference, but I am trying to be patient. 5. I also bought a new workout video, it is called "I want that butt!" Silly name, but it sure did kick my butt! I couldn't walk for 3 days. Everyone laughed at me, but I think 30 minutes of lunges and squats aren't as easy as it sounds! I would like to see them do it. 6. I just gave my kids a bath at 3:00 in the afternoon because Jenna thought it was necessary to dump yogurt all over her head at lunch. 7. Jake is now thinking it is necessary to sneak bites of chocolate out of the bowl of ganache in the refrigerator. Does he think I can't hear the refrigerator opening and closing? 8. I am really glad that we have new Factoids here! This is the best thread!

Grayson County here I come) Spy says about the same distance from Ft Worth to the wedding place!! I have to go... :::waiting for dh::::}}

Note: I was under the impression that if you had 10, you could post 10--I was PM'ed that after I did several in a row of 1, 2, 3, 4, and was told I could do 10 at any time. If my information was incorrect, I apologize. ETA: maybe it is time to formulate guidelines and put them at the top so that it is clear and newbies to the board feel welcome to post without having to worry about breaking rules and being schtickled...just a thought.

1. I am going to screw up the numbering on purpose. 2. That is so I can get schtickled. 3. Schtickled is a perfectly wonderful word. 4. I don't care if schtickled is not even a word. 5. Schtickled is such a wonderful word, i am going to use it at every opportunity. 6. i am not going to go back and correct the little i's that should be capital i's because I am feeling all landi-ish. 7. I am beginning to chicken out now on violating the rules and starting to quake about being schtickled. 8. If I made it to 8, I might as well go to 9. 9. I think Spygirl should become Mrs. Spyboy, just to keep in interesting.

1. I can do 10 no sweat! LOL 2. we went to the PO Box today and got the return receipt from my sister. 3. She got my letter on the 4th. 4. That should give her plenty of time to send me a cashier's check for my share of the estate. 5. My daughter is due in 3 weeks! 6. When I make it down to FL I may not want to leave that baby! 7. But I will because I absolutely HAVE to go to Mystic. 8. My dad was also like my daughter's dad cause she didn't really have one in her life. 9 He used to call her Mandy Dandy Doo 10. Sometimes I call her that now. It puts a smile on both our faces. PS. Spybaby, thanks for the date!

1. I'll do one fact but it will be a long one. Charley is heading my way. dd is upset because DH will have to stay home with the animals and my other dd will have to go with me instead to move the first dd to college. She really wanted her dad there. I could stay home too and leave on Saturday, after the storm but you never know if the bridges will be under water and then we'd be stuck. So now I'm off to the store to get plywood, cash, gas and those other essential goodies to survive during the inevitable power outages.

1. Spent 12 hours yesterday with the tech support guy to reformat this computer. I felt like I owed him at least dinner and a drink for all he went through with me, but he assured me it was his job. 2. We made out the final checks for all three kids college tuitions, we were spending money as if we actually had it, thank goodness for parent plus loans. 3. For the first time ever I was glad to be doing my exercise instead of sitting at the computer last night, usually it's the other way around, I guess I'm lucky I don't do it for a living. 4. Next week my family will be working for the annual county fair, it's a big job to put it on and I'm glad it's only one week a year. Reality TV will have to be recorded in order for us to keep up to date. 4.5 Congrats SpyGirl and Flyboy!
