1.Yikes! did not realise that there were rules about this.
2.Thought it was about rambling away merrily about your day.
3.Did wonder why we had to number everything though.
4.And why some folks diddn't talk about their day.
5.Maybe someone can post what this thread is for and the rules.
6.BB is ending and some of us need something shiny to go to in other parts of TVCH.
7.This thread looks nice and shiny to me.
8.Today is the first day of trying to break my BB addiction and my nicotene gum addiction.
9.I'm trying shiny threads for the BB addiction and the patch for the nicotene gum.
10.By the way I quit smoking in July 1995.

1. Splendid job, Finqwik! You are a quick learner and I love a quick learner. (That's my fact about me. )

1. I spent the whole day at the fairgrounds helping the antiques committee record and display the items brought in for exhibit. It was one of the hottest days of the year here because the humidity was so high, and the exhibit barn is wide open.

2. Volunteer perk lunch was fantastic! We had tossed salad with choice of dressings, sliced pork loin with raspberry chipotle sauce, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans with ham, whole wheat rolls, iced tea, and peach cobbler with whipped cream.

3. Dinner bell just rang. I'm going to watch LOST in about 10 minutes...yay!!!! It's finally the start of Season 2!!

1. Nicholas and I are getting together a backpack full of clothes, school supplies and toiletries for "We've Got Your Back" program. His school is collecting for the children from Katrina.

2. Now with Rita coming we've decided to donate a second backpack for a little boy in need. It's a wonderful idea and we're happy to help.

3. Nicholas and I are so lucky and have so much. It's our pleasure to help out two other little boys in need. And it's a wonderful lesson to teach my little boy!

1. I think that Nicholas is a very special young man! How generous of he and his mother to help out others in need.

2. I just may be a little prejudice about his mom since she is one of my very best friends!

3. I'm just waiting for Lost to start.

4. My husband is watching the one hour "tutorial" and then maybe he'll watch the new season with me.

1. I've been enjoying my new DVR. Wonder how I lived so long without it.

2. Zoe qualified for speech therapy at the local primary school. She's been in speech therapy since she was six months old. Never understood why a six month old baby needs speech, but I also wonder what her speech would be like if she hadn't.

3. Hard to believe in just a year, that girl will be starting school. I'm already getting antsy about it.

4. It's really sad that we just went through a terrible hurricane and now there is another one pounding at the door.

5. I wish any TVCH members that might be in the way my toughts and prayers.

1. My wonderful state is bracing for the fury that is known as Rita.

2. I'm thankful that my sister and her family that live on the coast are safe and sound in Lancaster.

3. I have beautiful new great-niece named Alyssa Fae.

4. I tried to get my boss to convince our managing partner that our Dallas office should close to show support for our Houston office closing due to the hurricane.

5. Boss didn't buy it.

6. I didn't really think he would.

2a. (to Nick's 2) Ryan has been in speech therapy since before he was 2. He had apraxia and didn't even say "mama" til he was 28 months old. Well fast forward to age six. He still gets speech therapy once a week (as well as OT) but the kid never stops talking. He is nonstop. Making up for lost time I guess...

01. Today has been a day of mixed emotion.

02. I went to get a temporary permit on the van, and was initially told no by the woman who gave me my number for the line.
02. a. Then, I was waited on by the agent, she told me how to get the title straightened out, processed a 2 month temporary permit, and handed me my handicapped placards--all for no money.

03. I come home and discover the problem with the gas tank.
03. a. The first tank is the auxiliary tank, and is indeed full.
03. b. The second tank is the main tank, and is empty.
03. c. I drove on the main tank symbol and got quite far on $3.00 worth of gas.
03. d. Tomorrow I will fill it.

04. I thought things were going well. I was happier and working on my new fanzine.

05. Suddenly, the phone rang. It was my former foster daughter's grandparents.
05. a. I told DH that either Will (the oldest younger brother) was in jail, or Crys, my foster daughter, just turned 20, was pregnant again.
05. b. DH pointed out someone could also have died. (The younger sister--2nd oldest--has CF.)

06. My former church deacon then called as the phone stopped ringing from the grandparents.

07. I called another friend, told her I was going to take lots of tranquilizers, and that she needed to tell me what had happened when she found out.
07. a. She called me back.
07. b. Crys, her baby, and her husband were driving from Florida to Wyoming and their vehicle flipped.
07. c. Crys and the baby were killed.
07. d. Pat is in critical condition and is heavily sedated.
07. e. Crys may have only been our foster daughter for 18 months, but our hearts have been shredded.
07. f. Our only bright spot: she died happy: a happy woman, a happy wife, and a happy mother. For that, we are thankful.

Sorry if the schticklers are displeased. I couldn't do this in multiple lists. I tried. I couldn't track the numbers. I' m going to bed now. I'm hoping for better days.

1. Morning all

2. Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. It was a very quiet day all around.

3. with all going on at the barn, got a card from Dh and he had kids sign it and that was the end of the celebration.

4. So it was just another quiet birthday..getting use it that I guess

5. We are busy with the finishing touches, so to speak, at the barn, pigs are coming tomorrow and Saturday.

6. Any little thing that can go wrong have gone wrong

7. I hope we never have to go through, what we have gone through these past 6+ months again. I don't think we could ever handle it a second time.

8. Had a school bbq last night and a meet the teacher. I had to take kids alone, so it was busy getting food and them eating but they liked it.

1) Finqwik, that's why I stay away from posting in this thread. I sometimes have comprehension problems, (due to my fibromyalgia) and this area just confuses the heck outta me.
2) I love to read the stuff here, but I get anxious about screwing up my posts, (I do enough of that all over the rest of the board. Just throw a dart at your screen, ;) and I'm sure you'll find some of my doozies.) LOL
3) Of course I can list thing as well as the next person, and I like that cuz it keeps my thoughts organized. Ironically if I could make heads or tails of how their system works here, it might even be a favourite posting/sharing place. But my mental fuses get blown here, with all the 1a, 2b stuff. (Case in point, someone told me what a quackle is... and I STILL dont get it.)
4) Maybe one day a lightbulb will go off and it will all make sense to me. Who knows? (embarassed shrug)
5) It's amazing how emotional and hard I am on myself about looking good and fitting in with a bunch of cyber-strangers, (okay, new friends!) Actually these days I spend way too much time depressed about it. (Now everyone will think I am completely nuts!) Oh well.
6) Now I'm thinking that maybe each number is for a totally different topic, rather than different points in a similar topic. Tuff bananas, all I can do is my best, with what I've got.
6) Now back to lurking in this thread. :-)
7) I am really very depressed lately, weepy too, and I can't figure out the root cause. It's certainly not this place. I love it and its a great escape for me. I am just too addicted. I think I know why I am escaping... I am avoiding going back to my freelance career. I will go back, I just have to stop weeping and moaning so much, and get back to it.
Aw heck, this is probably the WRONG thread for this. I'm outta here. (for now.)

1. Mameblanche, I think you're the one I scared away when I was playing with you as a "schtlickler".

2. I felt so bad chasing you away!

3. I just read your 8 facts and learned so much about you, which is why this thread is so special to me.

4. This thread is about having a place to share facts about ourselves.

5. I'm known as one of the "schticklers", but really, it's all done just in fun. I'm a kidder and some of the Factoid posters will play along with me.

6. Basically the "rules (haha!)" in this thread are pretty straight forward.

7. When you start your "A fact - or two about you", you look at the posters last numbering system above yours and then you add one more fact to your post. For example, your post is ahead of mine and you technically did "7" facts, but the reality is, you did "8" facts because you did #6 two times. But this is okay! Really!!

8. So now I'm doing my "9" facts and so I'll end up closing with #9.

9. I hope you understand my awful explanation...I'm in a bit of a hurry this morning. Just know that I and all the other wonderful "Factoid" posters really want you to be a part of this fun thread.

9a. Opps! Now here's "9a"...lol! This began as a result of the fun posters here playing around with my "schtickling".

9b. It's really OK.

9.1 Sometimes, we number like this as well. Basically I'm avoiding typing up "10" facts so the next person can post 10 facts, but the reality is, I posted way more than 10...but it's all good!

BOTTOMLINE Mameblanche: Please, please stay here and have fun here. I'm harmless as are all the others....well, except for landi. Watch her...lol!....
(landi, do I need to 'splain' it to ya?? hee-hee!)

1. i am at work watching television shows that i recorded tuesday night. (gilmore girls, supernatural, law&order)

2. i got e-mail from my family that is in the hurricane's path. i believe they are all out of harms way and we have opened our homes if they need a place to go.

3. it is 6 years ago today that i lost my dad to cancer.

4. my back is killing me...i layed around all day yesterday.

5. i am working today with my back brace on...it helps a little.

6. amy grant is on the view talking about her new show 3 wishes. i don't know if i will be able to watch it. it would probably make me cry too much.

7. my mommy loves me...she brought me a scrambled egg sandwich and some yogurt for breakfast.

8. i am so tired of the hot weather. it drains all my energy.

9. we have been decluttering our house. it is amazing all the junk you can obtain over the years.

10. i hope everyone has a nice day. :-)

hmm, lets see if get this... Now I'm meant to post 11 (ELEVEN?!) points? Yikes. I only want to post one... Or maybe I can post one, but number it 11. Nope. I think its the first one. Sheesh. I ran outta steam on my first post. How the heck do you avoid posting eight million and three, if its endless? Oh well, here goes:-)
1) Coco THANK YOU SO MUCH for caring. I appreciate your explanation, I THINK I comprehend some of it. LOL I guess it'll come with practice.
2) oooh I have another point to make. LOL, I never PLAYED on here that I can recall. I think I just popped out one day out of lurking here to ask what a quackle is, and somebody kinda explained it and that was that. So don't feel bad about scaring 'me' away, cuz I don't think it was me. And if it was, well here I am again! :-)
3) Hey this is almost fun... Yep, I certainly did post 6 twice. (blush)
4) I hope y'all have a great day.
Sorry to screw up whatever the numbering is at the moment, but I'm done for now. Over and Out. ;)

4a) I think I get quackle and schtickle mixed up. I THINK I should have said schtickle in my previous post NOT quackle. But hey, not depressed. I am at the point, I 'almost' don't care. (LOL) Just gotta have faith in myself, and you guys! I'm usually a really fun person. Honest! ;)
