RN, I'm wondering why cancellation of "Cheer" on Friday mornings is a good thing for Vacanick. Did they make you jump around waving pom-poms or something?

RN, I sympathize, Vacanick. When I was employed by corporate America, I always hated those "morale boosting" and "team-building" exercises they tried to foist on us. Now I have visions of a bunch of folks in business attire hopping up and down and yelling, "Build up your enthusiasm!" Yup, that's comedy!

RN: How the hell does embarrassing the crap out of yourself in front of your collegues boost enthusiasm and morale? You know what boost enthusiasm and morale? Money.

RN - i'm puzzling over my gas bill. it hasn't been that cold and certainly not for very many days. we keep the temp in the house at 68. we had new double insulated windows and a new cat 3 (hurricane) roof put in this past summer. it's only a 1300 sf house. we are at work for 10 hours per day M - F. so, why is my gas bill $197.73? i'm not going to be able to pay it when it really gets cold in february at this rate.

RN, we keep our central california heat off unless it gets below 50 degrees in the house. we only turn on the fireplace for open houses. and our bill here was 357 for last month...very scary! my dh did a great job on the hardwood floors. pupster and i got home about 6:45 tonight. the home insurance still hasn't found a plumber, so i told them to call me here and arrange it for monday afternoon or tuesday morning. i'll go back up monday morning. my bruise is hideous, the fridge still doesn't work up north and it will be cold as heck when the fire dies out...but i still love that country house!! this house has been shown a few times. again, everyone 'loves' it. but one 'might want a pool'. well, join the racquet club 5 doors down. you can have full family membership for a thousand years for the price of putting in a pool! keeping my fingers crossed. whenever i go to walmart between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m., i get to witness their 'cheers and affirmations'. the employees all look kind of embarrassed

RN, I'm really jealous of all the people who got to go to the Toby Keith concert last night. Unfortunately, I never did manage to get through on the phone lines to win tickets. <sigh>

RN I am glad I am on the budget plan with my gas bill. RN I am also glad we are having a warm winter so my monthly budget won't go up too much. RN I am taking a break from getting my taxes ready.

RN, did you have to use the ugly "T" word?! i dread doing taxes every year and this will be worse than most because my husband got some bonuses when he got laid off (luckily, they taxed the bonuses at 40%, so maybe it won't be too horrible). but we do have to help the kids file their own for their first times, too. i hate taxes! if the entire nation paid a straight 10%, no shelters or pyramid crap, we'd be better off than we are, and we could all just have it taken off pre-paycheck. oh, did you have to use the "T" word?!

RN I am LOL at Tabbyking. I've been working on my dreaded T's for about a month. I get bored with them after about an hour and I can't work on them anymore. Today I had to make an exception and work on them the whole day because I have my appt with the tax guy next Saturday and I am a long way from done. RN however I decided to reward myself and ordered a pizza, haven't had a pizza delivered in a long long long time,it should be very tasty.

RN, i love crab feeds. i don't know if it was snow crab, but it was a bunch of large crabs....the only 'bad' feed was when they had it in diablo sauce. i had cracks on my fingertips and that hot devil sauce really burned! eat a ton for me!

Right now, I bought some organic basil from Trader Joe's last week [it was from Mexico and it only cost like $1.99 for a HUGE amount] and I have been using it all week. But I JUST finished making an enormous batch of pesto with it and I swear I am never going back to non-organic basil again. It's one of those organic foods, like bananas and peaches, that's really worth it. The flavor is so much more bold and basil-y than regular pesto. Just terrific. And right now Andy Roddick lost at the Australian Open. But I can still root for the lovely Martina Hingis in her comeback effort.
