Not1worry | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 05:34 pm     Right now I am extremely aggravated. I can't figure out why my treadmill control panel doesn't work. Whoami was nice enough to find me the link to the owner's manual online. THEN, I had to try and find the special, stupid, little allen wrench that came with it a year and a half ago. Because heaven forbid I could just use one of my own allen wrenches. Miraculously, I still had it. But the troubleshooting recommedation didn't work anyway and customer service doesn't open till tomorrow. Right now I feel better and probably don't even need to post this, but I hate to waste the typing. |
Tabbyking | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 09:34 pm     right now, lol about not wanting to 'waste' the typing! when my treadmill acted up, i unplugged it and when i plugged it back in, it worked on its own! did i mention i unplugged it to heave it out the second story window because i was so frustrated with it?! it ended up being too heavy to move, so i plugged it back in and voila! |
Ddr1135 | Tuesday, September 09, 2003 - 05:33 am     Right now I'm laughing at Tabbyking....at least you got an extra workout trying to move the treadmill to the window! Glad to hear it's working. Right now I'm telling Jed Good Morning! |
Urgrace | Tuesday, September 09, 2003 - 06:44 am     Right now I'm giggling at Not1 and Tabs, that was funny. Thanks for making me laugh about something so simple as typing a post or exercising! Hope you are having a great day today! |
Fluff | Tuesday, September 09, 2003 - 07:50 am     LOL @ Monkeyboy. Last semester, I used to hang in the Clubhouse chatroom, rather than pay attention to the computer teacher.  |
Marybeth | Tuesday, September 09, 2003 - 09:11 am     Right now: I am looking for someone going to the Yankee's game Sun 9/14/03. Email me if you are. Marybeth |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, September 09, 2003 - 10:35 am     right now i just wanted to pop in and wave at everyone. i have not been posting much lately. my mind has been elsewhere. special hugs to everyone who left me a message. i will write back soon, i hope. |
Not1worry | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 05:25 am     Right now I'm waving back at Hermione and hoping she gets back to posting again soon also. Right now I'm happy because I got another phone call from my deployed husband and he sounded so great. (Not just great, SO great!) Right now I'm exhausted because he called at 1:15 a.m. and I was so happy after the call that I didn't get back to sleep until about 4 a.m. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 07:46 am     not1, how exciting about the phone call! i would have been unable to get back to sleep, too! hermione, you know we missed you, girl! right now, i am upset because the 'permanent' sub for my daughter's class (where the teacher has leukemia) quit before his first day. what a wuss. after he met with the teacher up at stanford hospital, he freaked out over what the class needed to learn in the next couple of months and just quit. they now have a sub that the school passed on earlier for AP teaching because there is literally no one else. this sub is not even a history major. my daughter said this man doesn't open his mouth when he talks and has a very heavy accent (he is chinese), so it is even harder to understand him. the kids are doing their best under very difficult times...but they are about 2 weeks behind because the many subs they have already gone through just gave them movies to watch. the newest sub yesterday asked if the students were confused on 'secular sightings' and the kids said they were. so the sub began to talk about women in society during the middle ages. and the kids said, 'what does this have to do with secular sightings?' so the teacher began to talk about Pope Julius.... right now, i just want the regular teacher to find someone who's a match for a bone marrow transplant, so he can quit stressing over his AP students and concentrate on getting well. i know that's why the 'permanent' sub quit--he knew he wouldn't be half the teacher the regular guy is--but perhaps he could have been had he not given up! please send good thoughts out to the regular teacher!!! thanks.... |
Fluff | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 03:37 pm     Right now, I am desperately trying to finish writing this paper, and the teacher told me to send it to her yesterday. |
Fluff | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:20 pm     Right now, I'm glad I'm done with the stupid paper. |
Urgrace | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:49 pm     Right now I'm wondering where everybody is? |
Sia | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:43 pm     Right now I'm enjoying the fruits of an hour's labor: instead of scrapping an old table-top fan that was broken from falling over countless times and was very dusty/dirty, I spent time this evening cleaning it up and putting it back together. I just needed some small plastic clamps that I improvised from found parts (I keep a stash of small screws, springs, etc. in an old teapot), some wire, needle-nose pliers, cleaning wipes, electronic components spray/lubricant and a longer screw. Presto: a small fan that looks brand new. |
Tabbyking | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 10:53 pm     right now, i am thinking about my son sleeping his second-to-last night in the house! right now, i am looking at the pile of things for him to take to school and wondering if it's way too much or if he will find out he didn't take what he should have! right now, i am praying for mr. h, my daughter's history teacher who is getting sicker from his chemo while trying to get well enough for a bone marrow transplant, if they can find a match. right now, i am going to bed because i have had a very long last couple of weeks and i am a tad stressed! night, all! |
Tabbyking | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 06:59 am     right now, a few moments of silence for our fallen friends and families of 9/11... |
Kaili | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:52 am     Right now I'm a little dumbfounded. I was driving to the gas station, on a 4 lane road, and this woman was crossing the street. I was in the outside lane and she was in the middle coming into the inner lane in my direction. She's probably...I'd say in her 50s. Anyway, she stopped walking as I drove by (this wasn't at a cross walk- just the middle of the road), stuck her fingers in her ears and stuck her tongue out at me (like how little kids do it). It was bizarre. |
Mak1 | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:05 am     LOL, Kaili! Right now I'm grateful for everything in my life. My thoughts are with the victims of 9/11. |
Emt911 | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:29 am     We have blocks downtown that are really, really long, and people cross wherever and whenever they can across our 4 lanes and 'suicide' turning lane in the middle. The pedestrian always has the right of way, at least in California, so I'm guessing she thinks you should have stopped for her. I saw a lady almost killed when she was crossing and all of us had stopped but the guy behind me who didn't pay attention and thought all of us 'just stopped for no reason, I guess'...anyway, he shot around me to the outside lane to get past me and the lady was just clearing the front of my car and stepping into the lane the guy was hauling down. He missed her by inches. |
Kaili | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:33 am     Emt- I thought about the right of way thing- I was the only car coming in my direction and unless she started running, I wouldn't have hit her. In either case- how many women in their 50s (at least 50s) do you expect to stick theit fingers in their ears and make faces. That was the part I thought was so weird. Once I realized what she did, I started cracking up. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 11:41 am     here, we still have to stop, even if the people aren't right in front of us yet--if they are still heading in the direction where they will be in front us at some point! i usually stay stopped until the person has completely finished crossing, even if they have passed me, so that cars coming the other way think to look for a reason for me to be stopped--such as, 'Oh My Heck! someone is crossing the road.' i guess the fingers in the ears is better than her screaming the "F-word" at you! lol oh, and even though a driver will run you over to try and prove he or she has the right-of-way in beantown, the pedestrian really has the right-of-way. they are just scared spitless to test it with the maniacs back there! ehehehehe! |
Urgrace | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 12:18 pm     LOL that made me giggle and my dh laughed too, Kaili. California is very strict about pedestrian rights, but around my neck of the woods you might get run down crossing the highway. |
Abby7 | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 01:53 pm     right now, i need to get some sleep. in over 2 days i've only had 2 hours sleep. my body can't take this. right now, i hope i can sleep. |
Not1worry | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 05:36 pm     Right now I really hope Abby gets some rest! I have been so tired all week, but I'm not sure why. Also, finally got hold of a real live person at the treadmill customer service place. She guesses that maybe I need a new control panel. Then she says, oh it's not too bad, some of them are really expensive. Mine is apparently a bargain at $68. The whole treadmill only cost about $400. I am going to the sporting goods store where I bought it and plead, whine, threaten and shoot dirty looks if necessary. Maybe I can get them to do something. But since I didn't spring for an extra warranty, probably not. If nothing else, wait till my brilliant Mr. Fix-it gets home from Iraq in, oh, 5 more months? |
Twinkie | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 05:45 pm     Right now I just realized that none of the men on this board has posted in the Fact or 2 About You thread. hhhmmmmmm |
Abby7 | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 05:46 pm     Not1worry: thanks, but nope. was feeling just terrible earlier too. just as i was going to sleep, found out dh needs glasses. checking out Lenscrafters. but now, i don't feel so bad. got over that jittery feeling when you haven't slept for days (and i don't drink coffee). calmed down now. so, i'll probably wait to sleep so i don't throw my schedule off. |
