1. I have way too much to do to be sitting and reading posts but TVCH is my favorite guilty pleasure.

2. On Saturday I'm having 12 people over for 8 hours for my big Fall event. I'm going to decorate my house like it's an apple orchard or something somehow.

3. Am using pretty leftover things from Moonie's wedding!

3. I really should get off my butt now and get to work.

1. You know, I felt quite like a "working girl" when I was substitute teaching while finishing my masters....the lady would call and tell me where to go and what to do and then I would get paid. LOL.

2. Everyone needs to watch the Monday Night Football game with the St. Louis Rams....the SIU Marching Salukis will be the guest band. I hope that they show them. They are my students and I'm very proud of them.

3. FYI, the Saluki is an Egyptian Royal Dog, tall and skinny like a Great Dane or Greyhound. They race. The students call us the "Dawgs!"

4. We have the Egyptian theme going on here in Southern Illinois, as we are the land between two rivers...near Cairo. Our day spa is called "Egyptian Revival" and has the sphynx outside. It is beautiful here...the leaves are almost at peak color!

5. And for the cat lovers....Ellie let me hold her for a while. She is a strange cat. I get the feeling that she doesn't like "food lady", but will tolerate being held for just a little bit. She likes to play hard to get....oh, food lady wants to hold me....let me walk over by the fish pond....or maybe I'll make her sit on the deck and I'll creep up behind her...or maybe I'll run away and just come back when I hear the can opened.

1. Okay, which one of you sickie Factoiders got my Egbob sick??

2. He's got a sore throat and bigtime miseries.

3. Grrrr....I better not get sick or you guys are in trouble!!

4. Nickovtyme, I'll be thinking about your little girl tomorrow.

5. I recently had my hair cut really short...it grows pretty fast. Anyway, I'm confused. How come it took me twice as long to comb'n'style my hair this morning when it's twice as short??

6. Today one of my student volunteers came in to tell me that he has cancer and will be having surgery and chemotherapy soon....sighhh....this is my first "big event" with my new job and it was tough for me not to respond like a overzealous mom.

6.1 Cat tip to Marm. If you act like you don't know she exists, it will drive her crazy, and she will be all over you wanting to get petted. Like if you try to read a book on the back porch when she is nearby.

1. Eggie, I'm so sorry to hear about your student volunteer.

2. Nick, I'll be keeping your little one in my thoughts tomorrow. What a brave little girl to go through all of that (and both of them are just as cute as can be!)

3. Took Caleb to the eye dr this morning. That child may just push me over the line into insanity, lol. The dr would point to a line, he'd read it. Did about as well as the last time. Dr points to another line, he starts reading, me and the dr stare at him in confusion. Finally the dr asked him what exactly he was reading because the letters he read off were no where in a row. Caleb said he was bored reading the chart the regular way, so he was just picking out letters from the chart randomly. Me and the dr just busted up. Good news though, we don't have to change his prescription. headaches are gone and he seems to see as well with the lighter prescription as with the stronger one.

4. I've decided to volunteer for Kota's field trip. Had to rearrange babysitting for my youngest niece to do it. I'm pretty excited, I think it will be fun. The kids are supposed to dress up for their big day at the theater.

5. I have to take a test for my online class tomorrow. I so suck, lol. Haven't studied, haven't read most of the lecture notes, haven't read the assigned pages in the book. Luckily it's open book and notes.

6. We had the funniest phone call today. we usually let our machine pick it up and today was no different. Usually we turn the volume down if we're not going to answer it but this was so funny we had to listen. Machine picked up and we heard, "Hello, this is James Earl Jones..." Hahahahaha! I don't know if it was actually him or an impersonator (recorded call,) but it sounded like him and he was hawking I think Verizon? I laughed and laughed over it.

7. My oldest niece started speech therapy this week. She called me up and told me it was fun. Yup, I remember the first few months of my own speech therapy and thinking it was fun. then it was pure torture for the next few years. Hopefully she has an easier time of it than I did.

1. Good morning everyone!

2. I made it to work early today.

3. Getting to work early is a HUGE accomplishment for me.

4. Prayers go out to Nick's little girl this morning.

5. Still sick and wondering if I will ever not have a sinus infection.

6. Not looking forward to teaching Potential and Kinetic Energy formulas to 8th graders today.

7. I wish I could move away to a far away island with no telephones, but a wireless internet connection of course.

8. Have a great day everyone :-)

1. Let's see...JMM makes the calls, I think that we will call her "Ma'adam" J from now on! LOL!

2. Got an email in German from Munich Man, answering all my questions in German. I fired one back in German thanking him for answering my questions....at least that's what I HOPE I said....can't find my German dictionary!

3. I will fill out massive quantities of travel request forms today. I think that I have all airline tickets and hotel reservations for the semester finished. WHEW!

4. Regarding #3, It's a good thing I had paid off my credit card....YIKES, that's a lot of charges and I have to wait until after the trip to get reimbursed.

5. Need to find the PIN for my ATM card. The bank can't change it unless they take my card for a week and charge me $10. SHEESH!

6. Gotta get in the tub or I'll be stinky at work! LOL

7. Hate these 8 am meetings

8. Have a great day, everyone!

9. Well the OMP beat me to 8! Since I don't want a hit man after me....I'll just say that I love everyone in this thread!

I drew the rune of Gratitude this morning so I thought I would do another Gratitude List in lieu of Facts.

1. My nephews and nieces.

2. Chocolate kisses.

3. Hot math teachers who make my thighs quiver.

4. Voices like Clay Aiken's who gives me goosebumps.

5. Lyrics like Tom Petty writes.

6. Family members who are also my best friends.

7. A healthy body that can run 4-5 miles.

8. Four-leaf clovers

9. Rainbows.

10. Shooting stars.

(I love your gratitude list, Hermi.)

1. After last week of being sick with a bad cough and cold, and then feeling good over the weekend, I came down with strep yesterday, and it hurts really bad to swallow - my throat is so swollen. I'm so sick of being sick!

1. Whew, not 10 this time - nice list Hermi, it made me fuzzy all over.

2. Wish me luck - I'm having all four wisdom teeth extracted tomorrow and won't be back until at least Monday. OUCH!

1. got in "trouble" at work today, for wearing a mask, and i am not "certified" to wear one. well the bathroom next to my work area is messed up and it smells like raw sewage all around there. YUCK! so, what's more dangerous wearing a mask or smelling shit all day? (i'm not exaggerating, either, at one point this guy duct-taped the door shut and put a stopper under the door, but we got scared that the gases would cause it to blow up!)

2. it is getting cold here! it is supposed to be in the 30's tomorrow! my apt heat is jacked up, so i bought a space heater for now. the cat is scared to death of it for some reason.

3. i ordered 10 different colors of jeweled nose screws last night for $2 EACH! (way cheap!) the colors include 2 different shades of purple, as well as 2 different shades of red. can't wait to get them!

happy hump day, factoids!

1. I loved Hermi's list, as well. I love that she is on this Board, and I hope HMT falls under her spell!

2. LOL at Wargod's (almost typed Wardog--anyone ever do that, War?) Caleb. That was so cute!! Wondering how Nickovtyme's little Zoe is doing.

3. Feeling for Ginger, Sage, Egbob, Watching's dd (and possibly other dd and ds) and anyone else sick with this gunk going around! However, though I feel worse than I have any day so far (nose and throat), I got the good news from the doc that it is not strep! So I guess I will live.

4. Got my Honda back today with the turn signal light fixture area fixed (that my dd had crumpled a bit ago while trying to parallel park in Brooklyn). Yay! Now I can get it washed. It really needs it from my forays onto muddy paths at the cemetery where I walk Herc.

1. The weather is hot today in Northern California. I'm looking forward to it cooling down soon .

2. My favorite neighbor was one of the first female Correctional Officers in the State of California. She worked at San Quentin and CMF. She's 78 years old. My son and I adore her!

3. She's met Charlie Manson and tells great stories about working in the Prison system .

4. I'm glad Herc doesn't have strep either and I hope she feels better soon.

5. I have to buy more Halloween decorations. It seems each department in my building has decided to compete with each other ... I tend to get a little competitive .

6. Don't forget that the final Presidential debate is tonight .

1. Zoe's made it through her surgery without a hitch.

2. The whole procedure took a little over an hour.

3. She spent almost as much time in the recovery room.

4. As far as what the doctors did: They inserted new ear tubes because her others had clogged. Did some fine tuning of her soft palate. Did some extensive dental work, as the poor little girls teeth are a wreck, which is common for children born with PRS because the lower chin had not developed as fast as the rest of her body, her lower teeth have nowhere to grow, and did some exploring to make sure things are developing properly.

5. As I had posted in my folder last night, kids born with PRS typically grow out of it as they get up into their Teen years, unless, it's a severy case. Zoe, by looking at her, you really can't tell anything is wrong and you would think she was a normal child...but, if you really look at her and study her face, you can see the recessed chin and that her face has some disproportions. Which, if you ask me, makes her that much more beautiful.

6. Getting her to the point she will outgrow this is an effort. Right now, she has a speech impedimant due to her cleft palate. It has been repaired, but as she gets older, they will continue to fine tune it until she's not so nasal when she speaks.

7. I am coming down with a cold.

1. I am glad to hear Nick's little Zoe did well with her procedures today. (((Zoe)))

2. I feel something cold and wet on my feet....

3. Egbob is sick! He actually came home from work, so that tells me that he is really sick.

4. Where's my echinacea???

5. I've got one week left to write my letter to the future. My letter will go into a time capsule, which will be opened in 2075. I don't feel inspired to write my letter.

6. I'm very tired and I'm going to bed soon.

7. Okay, my mind just went blank....did I mention that I'm oh so tired?

8. <pats the PupDawg on the head>

1. I'm feeling sorry for myself tonight.

2. I don't like being sick and having no one to take care of me.

3. I have a fever of 102 right now.

4. All day long I feel hot then cold, hot then cold. Will it never end?

5. I can hardly swallow, my throat is so very swollen, and it hurts like hell.

6. I guess I'm in a real whiney mood.

7. In other news, my grandaughter turned 2 this past Saturday. She is so pretty.

8. I lurk most of the time these days, but am still enjoying this thread very much.

9. For the last couple of months I've been going out and dancing on Saturday nights. It's a lot of fun.

1. Again I have to come up with 10 facts.

2. It must be an conspiracy.

3. That's okay because I'm in a really good mood.

4. I'm glad Nick's little girl pulled through the surgery.

5. I'm sorry Sage doesn't feel well.

6. I really like this thread too. Everyone is so kind!

7. I'm still sick as well.

8. Maybe this board is contagious.

Ok, one fact and one cat story <marm worries about those who REALLY like the cat stories....LOL!>

1. It is a Rainy and cold day here, but the trees are getting to full color and it's visually stunning. There is a soprano down the hall singing "Summertime"....wishful thinking!

Today's cat escapade: for some reason she has been taking to huddling up next to the door...back or front, it doesn't matter, she's RIGHT THERE whenever I open it. FEED me, food lady! She's been a little put off...I've not gotten home at all this week until after 10 or 10:30, and, DANG IT, that's just a wee bit late for supper. (she eats anyway!). She does a good job of ignoring me and playing hard to get. But she does like to knock at the front door when I'm watching tv, because she knows that I will pick her up and take her through the nice warm house to the back deck where her food is. LOL!

I gotta go practice or I will really stink on the recital in three weeks!
