right now, wargod, they do that for elementary schools here. but when they get up to high school it stopped. guess they figure all those kids with cell phones can call their own parents.

RN, our high school is so screwy that when they had a call reporting a bomb on campus at 7:30 in the morning, they had all the kids go to class (didn't say a word to them) and do first and second period before raising the fire alarm and having them exit... my son scared the crap out of me when he was a freshman. our high school is about 1.5 or 2 miles from our house. all of a sudden, there is a banging on the door and i opened it to find my son, totally out of breath. they had a bomb scare and told the kids to just run. no one kept track of anyone! so it looks like we have gone from one extreme, 'run like hell', to 'sit around and wait til we decide what to do'. we do have the automated call thing but it's rarely used. we get notes on red paper a few days after an incident "two kids brought a gun to school" or "a young girl was approached by a man in a minivan on her way to school". RN, dh is at the store. they have lamb shanks on sale starting today. good thing he got there at 7:30 as they only got 12 all together! he bought them all, as we are having a dinner party tonight. sheesh, how can you put something in your ad, front page, and only get a dozen of them?!

right now, i got today's chicken soup story in my email and had a giggle, thought i'd share it. DUMBO By Laura Vickery Hart I was the nurse caring for the couple’s newborn first child after his cesarean birth. Since the mother was asleep under general anesthesia, the pediatrician and I took our tiny charge directly to the newborn nursery where we introduced the minutes-old baby to his daddy. While cuddling his son for the first time, he immediately noticed the baby’s ears conspicuously standing out from his head. He expressed his concern that some kids might taunt his child, calling him names like “Dumbo” after the fictional elephant with unusually large ears. The pediatrician examined the baby and reassured the new dad that his son was healthy - the ears presented only a minor cosmetic problem, which could be easily corrected during early childhood. The father was finally optimistic about his child, but was still worried about his wife’s reaction to those large protruding ears. “She doesn’t take things as easily as I do,” he worried. By this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready to meet her new baby. I went along with the dad to lend some support in case this inexperienced mother became upset about her baby’s large ears. The infant was swaddled in a receiving blanket with the head covered for the short trip through the chilly air-conditioned corridor. I placed the tiny bundle in his mother’s arms and eased the blanket back so that she could gaze upon her child for the first time. She took one look at her baby’s face and looked to her husband and gasped, “Oh, Honey! Look! He has your ears!”

Right now...I just finished most of my 2005 accounting. I have organized all the information for the accountants and the bank. I have one document to finish for the bank that I need some help from dh with and one document to finish for the accountants, which is basically looking and taking last years information and putting it down. I have also email my accounting data to my accountant so she can start our financials asap. Our tax year end is April 30. Right now..I may even be able to (when I get a chance to actually work in the office again) to start on my 2006 accounting woohoo. Only 3 months behind now right now..taking a break and walking away from the computer for a bit

Right now, I'm having a mediocre day. The good news is that I got a subwoofer installed in my car this morning and it sounds AWESOME. The bad news is that I got pulled over on my way to the stereo place and cited for not having my front license plate on the bumper. He also gave me a warning about my windows being tinted, but didn't cite me for that. So, RN, I looked up the statute. In Oregon, the statute specifies that the plates must be "in plain view and so as to be read easily by the public." I keep my plate in the window, clearly visible for all to see. I just don't want to mount it on my paint job.
He also tried to tell me that my back window was tinted too deeply. I told him it was factory and he backed off on that. I know that my window tinting is legal because the place that did it won't do darker than is allowed. So, RN, I have to find time in the next couple of weeks to go to the courthouse and argue that my front plate IS visible and then check with my window tint guy to make sure about that. BOTHER!

Right now I'm wondering if I'm reading too much into my boss just saying "Sure, I can support that" without even a token "but it will be our loss" when I asked him to be a reference in my application for a new position at another college.

RN, i am thinking your boss is just happy for you to be moving up, not away. RN, we are pressure washing the cedar shakes on the house. it looks like brand new wood again. tomorrow i have to take dh in to kaiser for his spinal injections. saturday we are going to sears where we bought a new washer and a new dryer last week. they are 20% off tomorrow, so they will credit back our 1,500 bucks and recharge us 1,200. every little bit helps! RN, our lamb shanks dinner was phenomenal! they came out so tender and the company was great and we all screamed at the people on 'deal or no deal' as we ate our dessert.

RN, max, could you post a pic showing more of your 'can-opener' paint job on your terrific PT cruiser? i got to see it in person, but i'll bet a lot of posters would love to see even more than they can in the pic above. thanks!!

Right now if you were a roll or two of ribbon, where would you hide????? I started working on the diaper cake and went to grab the orange and blue ribbon I bought for it and can't find it anywhere. It isn't with the diapers, it isn't with the baby stuff, it isn't in my closet, and its not on my craft bookcase. Now I can't figure out why I'd put it anywhere else than with the baby stuff or diapers since it was to be used with all of that! ARGHHHHH.

RN, dh felt the ladder slip, so he tried to jump off the side and caught his foot in a rung. he slammed into the dirt area near the brick walkway and implanted his head into the mud. thank God for the rains we've had or he would've probably broken his neck. he missed a huge boulder by less than 8 inches. we are headed off to kaiser in gilroy. his leg has a huge bruise on it, he's limping and his neck hurts. he's lucky he didn't kill himself!

RN I think if I were ribbon I would be hiding in the trunk of the car. It's where I've been since I rolled out of the bag and my Wargod didn't notice me.

RN, forget the ribbon, where the H-E-double-hockey-sticks did I put my W2s!!! I know I'll find them right after I receive the duplicates I'm requesting. ARGH! RN, Tabbyking, I hope your DH is okay. That's why I don't like ladders!!!
