1. Out in the field there is nothing to fall on or around them. No broken windows, no buildings, the trees are at the edges of the field, not where the kids are. Plus they can keep the kids in one spot. Each grade level has their own area...so they know if they're looking for a 4th grader to go to the southwest corner of the field, and if they're looking for a kinder they go to the center. 2. Each class keeps their emergency cards and supplies, plus special activities and books in those big round, rolling trash cans. So when they evacuate the room, the teacher grabs that and brings it along. Not only do they have everything right there, but the kids are occupied so they don't get up and wander around. 3. Rg, you're not invisible! And I'll smack anyone who says you are. You're story helped to inspire someone to make a positive change in their life, that is so awesome! 4. A friend of ours saw some of the bracelets I made for my neice and the goth jewelry I did for sis and offered to take some to her salon and put it in the display case to sell. 5. I've never seriously thought about selling any of it, but this is kind of cool.

1. RG, I loved your story! 2. Wargod, that is really cool about the jewelry! 3. Jbean, have you had Ben and Jerry's Brownie Batter ice cream? It is pretty yummy! 4. I find that as the days get shorter, I get tired earlier and earlier. This is going to be tough on the new fitness regime I'm determined to get into. But no excuses! I'm going to do this! I am determined to get myself into the best shape I have been in since college. And by the time I go back to Miami this summer, South Beach, watch out! I'll go topless! Okay, probably not, but it is fun to think I might. 5. That's my goal, anyway, not the topless part, LOL, but getting myself into great shape. 6. Too bad reading doesn't burn off 600 calories an hour. I'd be ripped!

1) JBean, I understand your loathing of bagels. But that's because you've never tried a MONTREAL bagel. They are unique and reknowned for their moistness cuz I think their secret ingredient is molasses. I'd FedEx you some if I could. Its the ONLY thing I miss from my old hometown. Deanofwords would call them hockey pucks, cuz if you don't eat them fresh from the bakery oven, they get hard very quickly due to the moisture, if that makes any sense. Anyhow, he likes Toronto Bagels, which like most bagels are just bread with a hole in them. (bleh) A fresh Montreal bagel needs no butter or anything, thats how moist they are! YUM! 2) {{{{{RG}}}}} From the pix and stories of the Nashville Noise GT, I can tell you are a class act. Please feel better soon, okay? I can vouch for the fact that the folks here have big cyber-shoulders and big hearts. So vent away, just remember - this too shall pass. I'm off to read your story now in the my story section now. Sounds like things may be looking up for you... but I haven't read it yet, so at least I hope so! 3) I'm feeling rather odd myself right now. Just dropped mom off at a retirement home for a couple of weeks, as I need to focus on my dh and his surgery on Thursday, and was starting to lose it from stress. I am a lot of positive things but one thing I am not is a person who can multi-task. And dealing with an elderly mom with dementia and demanding needs was getting to me, with the stress of Vinnies impending surgery on top of it. So while she's safe and happy and has been there before and has made friends there, its still difficult to leave her there for two weeks. Oh well. 4) Vin is snoring on the couch behind me, and I'm glad I didn't have to share the computer with him tonight. LOL. 5) My throat feels scratchy and if VIN gets sick, he won't be able to be operated on... so I'm hoping its ONLY cuz the soup was too hot at suppertime and I burned my throat a bit... and not a cold coming on. I'm terrified to mention that my nose feels a tad stuffy. DENY DENY DENY. I will be okay and will be able to visit him. Dammit! (I AM responsible enough that if I get sick, I will stay away from the hospital, but that would seriously piss me off, and that wouldn't be pretty. Grrr. To be safe, I'll send him off to bed, and sleep on the couch tonight. Geez I'm getting upset as I write this. Hope I'm fretting for nothing and I'll be okay tomorrow. I'm thinking of making that hot lemon medicine NeoCitran tonight to ensure that no cold even gets close enough to attach itself to me! 6)I feel somewhat better now that I've blown off steam. Time to boil the water for the neo-citran drink. 7) Lots to do tomorrow if I have the energy.

1. I am still wide awake and suffering with this never ending cold. 2. Darren came home from work at 2pm today sick as a dog. 3. He went straight to bed and has only been up to throw up. 4. I think he's about to break his 2+ years of perfect attendance at work. Even if he could make it out of bed in two hours there is no way he'd make it a full 8 hours, unless he gets totally stupid and stubborn and decides to tough it out. 5. Caleb got up awhile ago complaining about his tummy hurting. 6. The kids just got over this cold, I'm going to be totally frustrated if they catch this stomach bug! 7. On the plus side Dakota's feeling just fine and dandy. She was tired tonight though, one of the side effects of her meds. Yep, they make her tired and hyper all at the same time. 8. Harvey has been freaking out for the last couple hours. No idea what is up with him. He keeps going out back near the fence and whining. Then he comes in and wanders around the house and then back out back to whine some more. When I shut the back door, he sits at it scratching to be let out. If it was a someone, he'd be barking and running around the yard, so I think it's a something...maybe a cat or the neighbors bird. 8.5 He's kind of a goofy dog, lol. If someone is walking down the street or standing out there, he'll go nuts barking. Today when Darren came home early I was napping on the couch and didn't wake up when he rang the door bell (I had the dead bolt latched.) So after a quick peek in the window, he went through the garage and into the kitchen. Harvey never moved from where he was laying and as far as I know never even opened his eyes, lol! He just laid there as someone walked through the garage and kitchen! If it was a burglar he'd probably have led them straight to all the valuables.

1. Those were great pics Coco, thank you for posting them! 2. Sea I thought about that but I'm not sure. He's never been very good with earthquake predictions. The last one we felt, he waited a few minutes after it was over to start acting weird, lol. 3. This odd behavious is still going on this morning. 4. He's still whining and pacing the house. But, now he won't go into the grass out back. He's standing at guard on the patio, facing the yard, ears laid back, nubby little tail pointed up but will not step into the grass! 5. He's always been a little bit of an oddball and he's not the brightest pup around, lol, but this is odd even for him! 6. Darren called into work at 3am. He's still sleeping! 7. Can I kick him? I was awake until about 4:30 am and he's been sleeping for 19 hours now, lol. For him to call in sick, I know how crappy he must be feeling though. 8. I seriously need to do some housework. I've done almost nothing all week! 9. Right now though, I think I'm going to do something I almost never do. 10. I'm going back to bed and try to catch a couple hours of sleep, lol. Good night ya'll!

A Beauty Secret for Your Birthday To increase your bust size, try rubbing your breast with sheets of toilet paper.... then open the card>>>>>>> ...hey, don't laugh. It made your butt bigger, didn't it? 7. the cash she put in the envelope helped me get past the insult.LOL i love my mom in spite of her driving me crazy at times. 8. i wish lost wasn't a repeat this week. whats up with showing repeat now? 9. i am sending my employee to walmart with money and a list of things i need. i will save money that way and then she gets paid to shop. 10. doing 10 facts is hard. i wish we could change this to list 3 facts thread.

1. Yesterday was not a good day for bathrooms in the Who House. 2. Mom was putting her teeth in, and dropped her uppers on the floor. They promptly rolled across the floor, bounced off the toilet brush, and came to rest between the toilet brush and the plunger. 2.5 She cleaned them off real good with Listerine and toothpaste...but not before I got in a good joking reference to her now being a "potty mouth." 3. Karma can be a real beeyatch. Less than an hour after I was laughing at WhosMom's potty mouth, my toilet overflowed, and flooding my bathroom, and dripped down to the next floor near our back porch. 3.5 I spent the rest of the evening mopping up water. 3.99 Its great to see ya around Wappy! I think of you all the time!

1. Mornings, bleck. 2. Fun day at the Who House, ROFL! 3. Another light day in the library. I am sooooooo bored. I really should use the time to read more. Instead I tend to fritter it away online. 4. A friend of mine mentioned having soup and BLTs for dinner last night and now I am craving soup. I packed some soup and crackers for lunch today and am already looking forward to lunchtime! 5. It's been crisp and chilly all week. I guess fall is really here. Happy Thursday, everyone!

Waiting for my coffee to finish brewing. 4. I'm patiently waiting for my Janey robe to arrive. It is in transit with UPS, presently in route. 5. I have had to turn on the heater in the mornings for a few minutes this week. Woohoo! 6. Paperwork, website revisions, ad work and proofing are on my agenda today.

1, Yahoo! Froggie is back as Mrs.Froggie now! 2. WHo what a potty day you had! 3. Talked to dh twice today. Called from ALgeria. Their telephone system is horrible! 4.Ramandam ends on Wednesday. THen they celebrate their holiday. 5. DS called from Orlando tonight. He bought a George grill and he loves it! He's a vegetarian, too, and he has cooked many things on it. 6. I had customers in the store the whole time Survivor was on. I only saw glimpses of the show. 7. I hate paperwork! My desk is always covered with it. I pick a pile and try to get to the bottom. Yesterday, I decided that I better start from the bottom and go up, since the old bills were buried. 8. DD brought 4 bags of Dum Dums - 500 a bag - for our 2 stores. Management says there will be 5000 kids on Monday. THe stores give out candy from 5 to 7. I think that they have over predicted and I will have those Dum Dums next year!

It's Halloween weekend!! I'm really looking forward to this weekend. 5. Tomorrow is a "me" day. I"m just going to hang out and relax. Get some stuff done around the house. Maybe work on my drawing. 6. Sunday I'm going over to my sister's for dinner. I haven't hung out with them in a couple weeks. I'm excited! I need my niece and nephews fix! 7. I've been craving soup lately. I think it is the weather. Yesterday I had the yummiest chicken dumpling soup for lunch. Today I am having a vegetable tortellini soup. 8. I just wish canned soup wasn't so high in sodium. Oh well, I have good blood pressure. Plus, I drink a ton of water every day. 9. Time to go get ready for work. Happy Friday!

1. Lol, I have to laugh at Hermie about the bleck part, cause I thought that very thing. 2. Today will be a fun day at work. That's why I love my job. 3. First up is Trick or Treating at the Tourist Center with 200 kids from the private school across the street. 4. Second is Bach on the Bayou, a concert series funded by the Arts Council. 5. Next up, going back to visit the artists who moved into my area. 6. Went to an opening last night of a cafe owned by some old family friends. They had a great turnout. 7. I'm sitting here all cozy in my Janey robe. I must say you do want to pet it, it's so soft. 8. My son keeps trying to steal it, so I guess he'll be getting one for Christmas, lol. 9. Think I'll have cinnamon toast for breakfast. 10. Happy Friday!

1. For me, the lamasil commercial is almost as bad as any commercial with Gary Coleman.. they both get an instant FF or mute reaction from me.. 2. I'm sure the Warcouple are having a well-deserved great time and we know he's well-rested, too! 3. I agree, Ddr, Janie robes are highly pettable!
