1. For some reason, I can't get the Twilight Zone theme out of my head! There must be someone strange around here. 2. I might have to take a nap as well. 3. Maybe a frappacino would be good about now. 4. Should I go caramel or mocha?

1. Hermie and I have hijacked this thread. 2. We are now all in the Twilight Zone. 3. Some of you might have been there already! LOL 4. I'd really love a nap but it's not going to happen. 5. I'll curl up later with a good book. 6. No caffeine for me today. 7. The kids will be done with homework and I'll have to get off the computer soon. 8. I've had too much fun.

01. Well, I've made all the calls that I have had to. 02. DH and I can now grieve in relative solitude. 03. We do not believe the reports that the baby was not in a restraint. 04. I am willing to believe the Crys unbuckled herself and threw herself over the carrier to protect almost 4-week-old Felicity. 05. They did find, among all of the stuff, a carrier, but Felicity wasn't found in it. 06. Even is the baby was in a carrier, in a rollover, couldn't she have been thrown free? 07. Let's put it this way, the year and a half in which she was with us, no one went anywhere with her driving without buckling up. I don't want to believe she stopped doing that. 08. The hardest call: my goddaughter who is away at Southern Utah State. 09. The most ironic thing is that the philosophical stuff the tow truck driver told us that didn't make sense on Tuesday night, did make sense on Wednesday after we heard. Since he rescued us while the accident was occurring several states away, and he didn't charge us the full amount, could he have not been a regular tow truck driver, but someone sent from the Deities?

1. Lkunkel - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. So tragic. 2. My thoughts and prayers are with those having to deal with the hurricanes. I feel blessed to be living on the prairies right about now. 3. Just read on CNN that a bus exploded that was evacuating seniors out of Rita's path. So many deaths lately. I can hardly watch the news - it is depressing. I force myself to watch because I want to live in reality. 4. Today is my DH last day at his old job. He can't wait to leave the bank and begin his new job on Tuesday. He is officially going to begin his life as a railway man! The boys are sooo excited their Dad gets to work with trains! I am excited because DH gets a big pay raise that we desperately need! 5. We are going out for drinks with his co-workers tonight. They are also happy for him. 6. DS 3 is doing much better with his potty training. He got up in the middle of the night last night to go. 7. I'm tired today. I haven't been sleeping well lately. 8. My life is pretty close to perfect right now (I feel blessed to have a house, loving relationship, supportive family, ability to attend university to get my second degree, etc.) 9. Maybe the stress I am feeling is coming from watching the news. Maybe I should just stick to CNN on the net. 10. I am soooo glad that Lost, Desperate Housewives, Survivor, and Amazing Race are back. I love having TV for "escapism".

1) I'm going to buy a birthday present today for a gal who's turning 40 tomorrow. 2) We're going to her surprise party this weekend, and I'm really excited. I love parties. Especially ones I don't have to plan. Heh heh.

1. Mameblance, I hope you have tons of fun at the birthday party! 2. Did you know that you can edit your post after you've posted it? 3. I'll try to explain how. See the 4 icons to the left of the date "Friday, September 23, 2005 - 10:33 am on this post of mine.....and then the 4 square icons to the right of the date and time? 4. After you've posted and you realize you weren't "quick" enough to make your post, you can click onto the first square icon (the one with the soft gray letter E inside) and if your post wasn't more than 5 minutes old, you can edit your post and add another fact! 5. I hope that all made sense. I'm so glad you're posting here!!

1. Yay, oinkers!!!!!!! 2. Are they renting or are you owning again, Skootz? 3. Good luck, Mr. Serenity!!! "There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun Long before the white man and long before the wheel When the green dark forest was too silent to be real But time has no beginnings and hist’ry has no bounds As to this verdant country they came from all around They sailed upon her waterways and they walked the forests tall And they built the mines the mills and the factories for the good of us all 4. Have fun dancing on the tables at the party, Mame! 5. My banged-up ankle is much better today. Only a little hobble required now.

1. Got a speeding ticket on the way to work today. The campus cop followed me into my parking place. 2. It's only 20 mph on campus! BLECH....that is $50 that I could have really spent better somewhere else. 3. I am going home for a noon swim. 4. I have two rehearsals tonight and a performance tomorrow. 5. I am hoping that next week is less stressful than the last two weeks have been. 6. It is very hot here today!

1) Thanks Coco, you make a terrific tutor. (Of course I have to NOT screw up quite so much so that we can both look good. ;) 2) Today I am in a better, less pity-pot mood, so I'm not flagelating (sp?) myself nearly as much. 3) I KNOW I am going to get a chance to practice editing, cuz right now the post above me is from schoolmarm, and that would mean I need to add and post 7 items. YIKES! And I'm betting there will be at least one or two more posts in between, cuz I take forever going over and over before posting. 4) So why do I goof-up so often in that case? Beats me? (shrug) But its nice having fibromyalgia to blame it on. LOL 5) hmmm, think of something to post... Oh, Hooray for Skootz getting her first batch of little piggies. 6) I just sent mom off to her adult day care group. SO I don't have to listen to her constantly telling me to stop hunkering over the box (computer) and to straighten my shoulders as I sit, or I'll get a round back. (too late, sigh) YOU try sitting straight with humongous boobies nestling comfortably in your lap, mom. Oh I forgot, you're tiny, unlike moi! WAIL. 7) My motto for today: silliness is next to godliness.

01. a. Last night, after getting gas, it wouldn't start. 01. b. The station agreed to let us keep the vehicle in the parking lot overnight. (A rare thing here in Vegas.) 01. c. The mechanic picked up the van at the gas station this morning. 02. a. We called Nina to give us a ride home (after I determined it wasn't the battery) since she yelled at me for not calling her the night we ran out of gas. 02. b. Paul (her husband) showed up with a battery and proceeds to attempt to change the battery--I asked him to stop and to please just give us the ride home. 02. c. He ignored me, and continued to try to remove the clamps with several other inappropriate tools, while I kept telling him it was NOT the battery, but the mechanic would deal with it in the AM. 02. d. He finally scolded me for not being patient and started using a PRYBAR. He managed to shock himself--surely doing his pacemaker a world of good! 02. e. I finally started to put the hood down on his hands saying that the mechanic would handle it, and could we please just go home? 03. a. It turns out that even though Nina had told him to bring the larger car, he brought the two-seater. 03. b. I had him take Bill home first, and then come back for me. 03. c. I'm not sure if it is the car or the owner but there is an interesting stench in his car. 04. a. Nina scolded me for not allowing Paul to work on the car. 04. b. I reminded her that he is not a mechanic, did not have tools, was trying to electrocute himself, didn't listen to me when I told him it wasn't the battery (since I had lights, radio, etc.). 05. a. All of this has made Bill nervous about living in their "guest house" for five months. 05. b. We have decided that we will continue to maintain our life: utilizing the bus, using the cart to do the shopping, etc. 05. c. We also plan to maintain and express our boundaries (like no just walking in on us, as she did when I stayed there in 2000; maybe I'll install a chain lock). 05. d. I mean, we are paying the utilities and the lot rent for the use of their guest house, so it's not a free ride. 05. e. Since she wants our mail to come to her address, rather than the lot that we are on, we are going to get a POB. (During the 2000 venture, her hubby would forget to give me my mail for several days--something that isn't a good idea since we're talking about the mail from which my disability news will come.) 06. a. The van is now here--the mechanic just had it delivered to me. 06. b. It's had a super-duper tune-up, a new starter installed, and a lot of belts replaced. About half of the work it needed so far. 06. c. Interestingly, given everything that DH has done for the mechanic over the years, he opted to charge us for labor, something he never did before. 07. a. We're continuing to sort through stuff and getting rid of things. 07. b. The shredder is running almost constantly lately. 07. c. A friend is coming over this weekend to help; I'm going to have her input my keeper books into the database--that way, I can figure out my craft supplies. 08. a. So, to sum up, this week has been quite a mix of horrendous and good. 08. b. I'm holding out hope that next week will be better. 08. c. The first potential bright spot: the mobile home will purportedly close on Monday.

1. Mameblanche, do not...I repeat do not get confused by Lkunkel's post with the very entertaining numbering above mine...lol! 2. I'll try to complete 9 facts. 3. I just got home about 30 minutes ago. 4. I went to the Hollywood Bowl and saw/heard a fantastic show! 5. I wish I had Tishala's brain right now so that I could intelligently express what I experienced tonight at the Bowl. 6. It was magical, it was lovely, and it was fantastic!! 7. Basically the orchestra performed the top 25 AFI music scores, beginning with #25 and ending with #1. 8. Along with the gorgeous music played, there were large viewing screens that showed parts of the movies from these top 25 music scores. 9. Can anyone guess what #1 was?

1. I'm going to continue with 10 facts now...hee-hee! 2. The encore performed was lovely and my eyes teared up...cuz beautiful singing and music can do that to me. 3. They played orchestra music to a teenage girl singing a pretty song, shown on the large viewing screens in black and white. 4. It was Judy Garland singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". 5. Did anyone guess what the #1 AFI music score was yet? (hint: go with the force Luke...) 6. Other memorable music scores I heard were from "Laura" "Gone With the Wind" "Psycho" (the violins were ripping!) "A Streetcar Named Desire" (STELL..LAAAA!!) "How the West Was Won" "Lawrence of Arabria" "Ben Hur" "The Pink Panther" (I loved this one!!) "Sunset Blvd." "The Godfather" (loved this piece too!) "Jaws" (the violins were once again ripping on this number too!) "On Golden Pond" "To Kill A Mockingbird" (loved this one too!) and many other wonderful music scores that I can't think of right now. 7. The people behind me had a bottle of wine, which they were sharing with those around them...like me! 8. I almost took them up on a glass of wine expect that some people who were squeezing by them to get to their seats, accidently knocked the bottle of wine out of the lady's hand and the bottle crashed to the concrete floor! 9. The wine smelled very good! 10. It's 1:20ish AM and I'm not even sleepy yet!

1. Loved the laughter inspired by the pig butt-shot and Skootz not realizing she had kept to the spirit of the board! Hey Skootz? My dad used to build 'hog houses' - air conditioned, running water and environmentally odor free. 2. Guessing it was Star Wars for the #1 score, huh Coco?
