1. I somehow miss Square's accident! Hope everything and everyone is ok!

2. Ddr, and Juju (who stopped by my folder) I did end up writing to the editor of the local paper. Told them about the great people who helped push the car and about the clerk at Walden's who went beyond being nice and helpful. Left out the barber shop since I had already mailed them a letter explaining why I would not be back to their shop.

3. My niece came over yesterday for what was supposed to be a short visit. Somewhere along the way, I developed a major headache, had to go to bed, and left the kids to Darren.

4. When I got up this morning, niece was still here and Darren left a note on the table saying that he didn't want to take her home, leaving the kids here for me to deal with and either I could take her home or bil would pick her up later.

5. Dakota and Brit are 9 months apart in age. When they're excited and happy, they are best friends and best playmates. When one of them is unhappy, they fight like siblings!

6. By 10am, it was time for Brit to go home. Squished the kids in Darren's car, a booster seat, a car seat and Caleb like a sardine in the middle, where the three of them decided to fight.

7. About half way there, I'd had enough, reached back to smack Caleb on the leg, missed and hit the car seat. I now have a bruise, but the kids realizing spanking is not my preferred punishment, settled down and I didn't hear another peep out of them.

8. Quiet time for them, lunch, and a few chores have done wonders to improve their attitudes today. Caleb doesn't understand why I just couldn't leave him at home (riiiight, lol) and Dakota is already looking forward to the next time her and Brit get to play together....sigh.

1. I haven't posted here in so long, I feel like a newbie.

2. We have had a really busy summer, I can't believe it is almost over.

3. My son is starting preschool this year and I am really nervous about that. I can't believe how much preschool costs, he's 3! I hope I found a good one though.

4. My husband and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary yesterday. We actually celebrated last week and took the kids to my parents then went down the Southern Oregon coast and went on a jet boat trip. It was so much fun. We saw a ton of wild life (bald eagles, bears, river otters, etc.). We came up on a bear swimming across the river and got about 8 feet from it. It was cool.

5. The day before we left we had to take my daughter to the emergency room because she swallowed a small piece of plastic and was gagging on it. It was really scary. By the time we got her there it was gone, but they still did x-rays to make sure it didn't aspirate into her lungs, it didn't, thank goodness.

6. My grandma died this summer and then 2 weeks later my uncle died. He had found out he had cancer about 4 weeks before that. My mom didn't tell me he had it until about a week before he died. I wasn't to happy about that.

7. I found out last week that my ex-boyfriend was arrested for dealing drugs. It is totally uncharacteristic and I was so shocked. He seemed to have a really good life with his wife and kids. He ruined my fantasy of us being together when our spouses are gone and we are 95 years old. He was my first love.

8. I have so much to catch up on here, I already read the road trip thread, sounds like everyone is having a good time on their travels.

9. Hugs to everyone for all the happiness, sadness and stress in your lives.

1. Like Jewels, I've been away for awhile and feel like I've missed so much!

2. I was wondering if that Jet boat trip Jewels mentioned was the Rogue River?

3. I took that trip with my best friend and her family in the 8th grade and it was absolutely beautiful. I'll always remember that.

4. I was on a new med that made me so drowsy I couldn't even enjoy my one pastime.. the computer.

5. I would literally sleep until noon (take all my pills) and be back napping by 4 or 5pm. Then up for a few hours, and back asleep by midnight or so.. It was awful.

6. I'm getting excited to see some of these new fall Tv shows coming up, and of course the return of my favs.

7. Shoot, I have to think of more things to say.

8. We refinanced just in the nick of time, and now we're getting hit with these "bi-weelky" payment program things.

9. The kids will be back in schoool next Weds! Yey. Too bad it's only a ½ day. Why not just start on Thurs?

10. Hope this wasn't too boring. Take care everybody!!

(PS.. did all GAL's duckies finally fly the coop? I've been checking for stories but haven't seen any)

1) big fires in the hills from lightning strikes 3 or 4 nights back

2) going to play golf if i get my chores done
3) i can't believe erika is dating josh from BB1, but it fits with the ideas that this is pretty much a 'casted' group
4) i am disappointed the 49ers lost last night. good thing it was an exhibition game...and why aren't people there called exhibitionists?

I don't know Hippyt. He seemed awfully interested in Brittany there for awhile.

1. I love crazy 3 year olds, Hippyt. 3 and 4 are my favorite ages.

2. I bought a new car yesterday, but it's still feeling a little bittersweet because I loved my old car a LOT and wasn't ready to give it up.

3. I think I'll come around, though, first time I open it up on the highway, blast the CD player, and sing Born to be Wild.....at the top of my lungs.

3. I saw the idiot who crashed into me when I was shopping at a car dealership. Guess she's shopping too. Grrrrrrr. I wanted to growl at her.

4. My Mom is coming back to live in the US after 20 years in Australia. She's going to live in a nearby senior apt. complex, so I can be near her to help her, and so she can drive me up the freakin' wall, just like the good old days. :)

5. I'm going to take the dog to the park to play frisbee now...it's a beautiful day!!!!

1. I received a call from my mom on Friday afternoon to tell me that my grandma had been in a car accident.

2. Needless to say I left work and followed her from city to city trying to get to her. They had to keep tranfering her to get to a big city so they could assess her injuries properly.

3. She ended up with various bruises from the air bag and a very broken ankle. They operated on her ankle Saturday and will have to operate again in a couple weeks. They said she may lose movement (driving motion) and little feeling.

4. Thankfully everything else is going to be OK for her.

5. I guess a guy ran a stop sign and she was doing the speed limit of 80km per hour (I think about 50-60mph). I really could have been worse and I am happy that it wasn't.

6. Upon returning home on Friday night I found out that her brother-in-law was in a accident the day before basically the same way except he was on the receiving end of the hit. I will be attending his funeral this week as he passed on Saturday.

6.5 Don't want to bring down the thread just had to tell you all what has been happening with me.

I'm glad your grandma is ok Spitfire!!

1. I'm really glad Spitfire's grandma is okay also.

2. I saw my grandparents this weekend and they seemed really down.

3. Grandpa is frustrated that his legs are never going to work right again (He has a walker). Grandma says her whole body is falling apart and she won't be around to see the new department store open next Spring.

4. Hard to believe they were on a tour of European rivers only 2 years ago!

5. I spent 5 days at my mom's. The kids love it there. I do too.

6. We did a jigsaw puzzle of jellybeans. I never want to see another jelly bean.

7. I'm glad to be back in my own home on my own computer!

1. This is the first week in AGES that I didn't have to go anywhere, so I went to the outlet mall an hour away.

2. I hate shopping.....with that said...

3. I tried on Prada shoes for the first time! If they weren't so strange looking I would have bought them as they were very comfy!

4. I printed off a paper to send in for a national conference....hopefully they will take it and I will be in Minneapolis in March!

5. I'm really not into Big Brother this year, but am looking forward to survivor.

6. I just found out that I will have visitors from NORWAY in October and that they want to go to Niagara Falls.

7. They shut down the phones at my office for the whole weekend to install a new fiberoptics cable system. Don't you think that a university should have a back up system? This is ridiculous.

8. I bought two awesome suits and a bunch of tops and a couple of skirts and pants at the outlet mall. I LOVE the Kasper store, and the coupon club really helps you save money....and get addicted to buying Kasper clothes.

1. While walking to the mall today, to meet a friend for lunch, I found a cell phone, and turned it in to the Cingular place so they could find the owner.

2. I had a pretzel from Pretzel Time - Parmesan Garlic with cream cheese. Yum!

3. I went to the jewelry store where we got my engagement ring, and talked to the manager for a long time about various things. She loves my red hair and said she even told her daughter-in-law about it.

4. I talked to her about employment at her store and told her about my fibro problems. She suggested I apply at JC Penney's where her husband works as the hours are extremely flexible, and I could probably manage working there better than at her store where it can be pretty high stress at times. I really like her!

5. I'm going to apply at Penney's for a receptionist position.

6. I really hope I can find a part time job doing clerical work, cuz I'm pretty bored sitting in this apartment all day wondering what to do with myself.

7. The next couple of weeks though, I'll be working at cleaning out all my stuff from my Mom's house, deciding what to keep and what to get rid of.

8. I decided today to take off the acrylic nails I have so that it will be easier to type, as I'm having a real hard time doing it with them. Besides, I don't feel like spending the money on them anymore.

9. I'm not watching Big Brother this year at all. Not even reading the Big Brother threads, either.

1. Um, Marm, Niagara Falls= close to my house.
2. Hubby is teaching a computer class today and then going to his regular night job. Poor guy. But for 6 hours of teaching he is making $150.
3. Lately my back has been so bad I've had to take pain pills alot and my sleep is all messed up.
4. I hate that cause I've missed going into chat.
5. Today I was finally able to get caught up on the board.
6. I had to cancel today's doctor's appt. because of hubby teaching so I had no way to get there.
7. I can't wait for the next Survivor to begin.
8. I've eaten so many peaches in the last couple of weeks that I think I'm finally "peached out".
9. I really like the Scruples thread that Lori started.
10. I really, really love the road trip thread and I want to see more road trip pics!

1. Both my children are in school all day this year, so I'm establishing some new routines at home and am enjoying having the house to myself for the day!

2. My daughter spent a week in Pre-K and was moved to Kindergarten because she already knows her letters and is starting to read. She's not five yet.

1. Today was the first day of school and I had no one to send to school. I have reached another milestone in parenthood!

2. I'm really enjoying my night class on Wednesdays. It's wonderful to be learning once again in a college classroom setting.

3. I'm so jealous of Yankee because he got to see Letterman...but it's all good!

1. My baby ducklings are so grown up and healthy I can't really tell them apart from the adult ducks anymore, except my babies still come up and eat out of my hand. Wargod has turned into a brave and strong soul, goosing all the other ducks out of the way to get to my hand;

2. After the holocaust in July when two were hurt and one lost, Hortense decided she'd had enough of raising children and moved on to greener pastures. MM thinks she's moved to Broadripple with Sven the Albino Mallard and is gleefully planning the cutest batch of chicks to bring me next year;

3. Spitfire has turned into our little sweetie - she is a very light color, unlike the other ducklings, and has aqua stripes under her wings rather than the deep iridescent green/blue/teal the other mallards have. She loves MM, and always hangs around posing for pictures after the other mallards have left. We haven't seen her since the weekend, though, and are concerned for her welfare;

4. The ducks have been extremely skittish lately, and I found out why - a hawk likes to park on the roof of our neighbors' condo, and this morning a freaking pteradactyl of a predatory bird (I don't know what kind) cast the hugest shadow across our porch while we were corning the ducks (they spazzed, of course). We saw him fly right over our heads and almost ducked ourselves, he was so big. MM was trying to make me feel better about the hawk, saying it was too small to pick on the ducks, right about when the prehistoric buzzard flew over our heads. Now I'm counting duckling heads again. Sigh.

Not really sure how to do this..lol

1. I'm jealous of GAL. I wish I had little duckies too!
2. School started on Thursday and
semestering is a pain in the butt.
3. I used to have a big group of friends but now after the summer, I've barely talked to most of them. they all were big drinkers over the summer, while I spent most of my summer at camp and at my fathers.
4. I'm getting a headache as I type this, so I'll have to go get some drugs for that.
5. Right now, I'm really happy it's the weekend, because going from getting up at 12pm everyday then suddenly getting up at 6am instead, didn't make me feel too good.

1. Hi Neko! Your post looks good to me...Welcome to the thread!!

2. Early this morning I went to my Curves workout and I really was pleased with the amount of sweat and hard breathing I did while there!! LOL

3. On a serious note, I attended a memorial service early this afternoon for a very nice man who died unexpectantly last week. I will miss him.

4. At the memorial service, I was reminded to refresh my goals in life and to enjoy each and every day.

5. I'm thankful for my online community as well as all the rl people who I encounter day in and day out.

6. Now I'm off to do some major reading to get caught up for my Wednesday night class!!
