1. I'm back online from being gone to PA to get LASIK Enhancement. Coming along nicely. I'll write more about it in the LASIK thread.

2. JBEAN.....I will be going right through Springfield, but I hear that you may be going where I'm going. I need to get a hotel, and I'm staying Friday and Saturday nights. Would be going through SPFLD on Friday. Might stop by Kansas State and see an old friend who teaches physics, but I haven't set that up yet.

1. Eggie, I wanted more details... so I googled.

2.Wood Coaster, Knott's Berry Farm, California
Guide Rating - When the Cedar Fair folks (the coaster-crazy crew that runs Ohio's Cedar Point) bought Knott's Berry Farm in the late 1990s, one of the first things they did was what they know best: They built a kick-ass coaster. GhostRider combines the traditional charm of a woodie with the sensibility of a modern-day thrill machine, and it offers a wonderfully smooth, airtime-filled, exhilarating ride.
GhostRider Up-Front Info
Thrill Scale (0=Wimpy!, 10=Yikes!): 6.5
Typical wood coaster thrills, lots of out-of-your-seat airtime.
Coaster type: Wood, double out-and-back
Top speed: 56 mph
Height restriction: 48 inches
Height: 118 feet
Longest Drop: 108 feet
Ride time: 2 minutes

1. HI JBEAN!

2. Thanks everyone, for the well wishes for my SiL. I'm hoping to see her today as my Newport News trip has been postponed to next weekend. The awkward thing is that we are not that close, but I am the one who probably most understands how she is feeling right now and I hope she is able to open up to me.

3. I ROLLERCOASTERS!

4. I'm having a lazy Sunday. After the SiL visit, I may hook up with a friend later this evening , but the introvert in me is in full swing right now and I am very happy sitting here on my couch with my cats and watching Buffy episodes and having me time.

5. I WILL work out today. I WILL I WILL I WILL! I hit a huge slump last week, but I feel reenergized and ready to cut butt!

5.129 CUT butt? I said, "cut butt" instead of "kick butt"!!! If typos are freudian slips, what the heck does that mean??

1. Hermi, my butt was flying up in the air on that rollercoaster called Ghostrider!

2. In fact, at one point, a pair of sunglasses were literally floating in front of me when they came off the face of the woman who was sitting in the car ahead of me.

3. I was sitting next to DS and his thought was that I would get smacked in the face by the floating sunglasses once their speed caught up with our speed, so he tried to grab them away, but missed.

4. They flew somewhere and didn't hit me, but the poor woman was upset at the end of the ride because they were prescription sunglasses.

5. Here's are two pictures I took of another rollercoaster ride as DS and the other rode it. It was called Excelirator and there was no way I was getting on this ride!!

6. I'm actually feeling okay today from the Ghostrider, which tossed me all over the place!! Have a great day FACTOIDS!! Love ya all!!

1. I rollercoasters too!

2. The best ones I've ever been on are at Great Adventure in NJ and Busch Gardens in Williamsburg.

3. I get motion sickness very easily, but have amazingly never gotten sick from a rollercoaster.

4. We are having very crappy weather here today which is majorly putting a cramp into my Labor Day weekend. It's only 63 degrees right now...yuck.

5. My sweetie is going to Chicago for work this whole week! He'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon and will return Friday morning. I miss him already.

6. I've been trying to take pictures of my kitten today to post in the cat thread, and it's actually been quite a chore. The darn cat won't sit still long enough for me to snap a pic.

7. I have a ton of laundry to do so my sweetie will have clothes to wear all week...don't want him walking around Chicago nekid now do we!

1. I just got back from BC's Okanagan Valley. We drove there Friday night (4 1/2 hours) after work, went to a friend's wedding yesterday, then drove back today.

2. Now I have to unpack and re-pack for a work trip to Washington DC tomorrow -- and my plane leaves at 6AM.

3. That means I will have to get to the airport at 4AM, because I have to clear U.S. Customs and go through international security, etc. Sigh...

4. I am very very tired and do NOT want to have to pack and get on that plane tomorrow. Also, there are no direct flights between DC and Vancouver, so the Chicago layover makes it even longer.

5. When I get to DC I'll be staying with my family, BUT they live a 2 hour drive (traffic) away from where I need to go every day for work, SOOO it'll be a stressful, always-on-the-road week for me as well.

6. I am tired. Did I mention that? I also miss my dog, who I have not seen since Thursday and who I won't see until next Monday.

7. I am also a horrible, bottomless pit. I have eaten two apples and an orange and a handful of almonds since lunchtime. And I'm still sorta hungry.

8. Since this sounds more like a gripe post than a "facts" post, I'll end on a positive note ... I love rollercoasters too!

1. I love rollercoasters! Always have.

2. Luckily so does Darren and the kids!

3. Sis and bil still aren't sure if they're going to go with us to Knotts. We talked to them today and by the sound of it they're wanting to.

4. They were discussing finding someone to watch the baby for the day and inviting little bro, his wife and kids to go also.

5. I'm hoping we can get them to go. The kids would love to have the boys go along with us as well as my oldest niece.

6. Today was a lazy day. We took the kids to lunch, went and bought a couple movies, then came home and vegged through the afternoon. It was nice and something all of us needed to do.

7. Tomorrow since the kids are out of school and Darren doesn't have to work, we have a family cleaning day planned.

8. I'm doing my big weekly cleaning while Darren has plans for him and the kids to do yard work, clean out their pool and refill it, and wash the cars.

9. Sis and bil invited us out to their house tomorrow night for a bbq. They have a ton of fish they want to throw on the grill. From the sound of it, they have invited everyone so it should be both fun and annoying, lol.

1. You will never catch me on ANYTHING that puts my butt over my head.

2. I didn't get to talk to Mandy at all yesterday (Sunday). I couldn't get thru a few times and then I didn't want to wake up sleeping mommy or baby.

3. Never rent to a friend. We did and he was great for about 2 years, then he went on medical leave from work (unpaid) so he hasn't paid us for July, August, or September.

4. Of course we have put him to work helping move us and helping me do things. Next I have to get him to dig up all of my plants from the old house and plant them here.

5. Its nice that I have all this help but it sure doesn't help us financially. We need the rent. What to do.

6. Yesterday I called everyone I know all over the country to tell them about the baby.

7. I hope I get pics soon. I changed emails today because hotmail only gives you a very small space so I switched to gmail (google mail) that gives you 1 gig of space.

8. I hope everyone is having a happy holiday weekend.

9. This weekend was National Buffalo Wing Festival. Here in Buffalo of course. I'm amazed that people come from all over the country for this.

10. The past couple of weeks have been the hottest we've had all summer. Of course. I'm living in 2 small apts with floor to ceiling boxes and furniture. We are only living in the upstairs apt because most of our stuff is on the first floor. So with no A/C and so much stuff Its Hot In Here!

one of my teacher friends found Kodak to host pics of her grandbaby, her daughter would take digi pics and upload them to the site, and grandma every morning would have the slide show, order some - it seemed like a fantastic idea!

gorgeous!!

1. DH just informed we we had a visitor last night *sigh of relief, it wasnt a critter!! DS gf came over at ONE AM!! Cant wait to find out what's up with that!! (she seems to come from a nice conservative, strict family - she has a 4.0 gpa... it seemed really out of character)

2. DH still cant find his backpack that has the digital camera with all the pics of DISNEY!! *sniff

Adorable pic, Vacanick!!

1. Dd (in Tallahassee) and I have been talking. She thinks I am goofy for being so concerned about her safety. She's fine . . . so far.

2. Ds (in Pensacola) and I have talked, as well. He's fine so far, too. He is irritated with his sis for putting herself in danger by arriving in FL this week. They still haven't been able to see one another yet. (Working lots of hours.) They are much farther apart (geographically) than I had thought.

3. Made Dh pancakes this morning. I have a feeling he will regain some of those 22 pounds he lost very quickly! LOL!

3.5. Haven't been responding to posts in my folder, but only because my attention has been diverted by family. Will definitely answer posts soon, though!

1. My folks left just after lunch. Mom gets on my nerves when she helps me unpack....WHY do you have this? What is that for? Why don't you take that to the thrift shop? WHat? More shoes? Cripes, it's like working with a three year old! We emptied over 25 more boxes this morning, which is quite a relief.

2. I had some eye pain this morning, so I am going to sleep this afternoon to help it heal.

3. I have my new office (at home) furniture put together. There are two tall bookcases and two vertical files with three shelf hutches on top. They are cherry, and I will get the desk after I get the rebate check from Office Max. It will be a very nice work area.

4. I just realized that I will be only teaching HALF of my load this week, since most of my teaching is on Monday!

1. You're office sounds like it's really coming along, Marm. And an easy work week to boot...yippee!

2. Steve just left about an hour ago for his trip to Chicago. He has a layover in Detriot and he detests that airport. I told him to call me while he waits and I'd keep him company.

3. It's a very dull TV day. Thank God I have TVCH!

4. I need to pick up some Lean Cuisine's so I'll have something to eat all week. I find it impossible to cook for just one person, so those quick microwavable meals are a necessity.

5. I'm addicted to sunflower seeds!

1. a woman that i work with was going to vacation in florida (left on friday morning) through this week. there is no way i would still go with hurricanes going on and hurricane warnings. herkymer, i understand your frustration with your dd.

2. i think the soda i bought really has regular soda in it, instead of diet. it tastes sweeter than usual. weird. guess that's what i get for buying generic. lol

3. i'm going to see the movie wicker park today. i'll let you all know how it is.

4. yesterday i got to see my cousin's 3 month old baby who was born premature (3 months yesterday, actually). she is doing very well and is pushing 8 lbs now. yay! she is ADORABLE!

5. HAPPY LABOR DAY EVERYONE!

6. ETA since froggie beat me. i just had an incident with my cat (which is WHY froggie beat me). i found fleas on her yesterday, and can't buy the expensive stuff til i get paid friday (i'm eating ramen noodles as i write this), so she had on a 97 cent flea collar. well somehow she got a taste of it and flipped out (and scared the shit out of me, too), she was foaming at the mouth....i took it off, and she is fine now!
