1. It's supposed to be near 40 here today. Heehee. Yay. Heh. 40! Whopeeeee. Ah-ha-ha-ha! No joke! Yipeeeeee! Wha-hoo! 2. I think it's just wrong when you get to the point in winter where 25 is warm and you can go outside to get the mail, etc without a coat and being near 40 is about the most exciting thing to happen all year because it's a flat out heat wave!! 3. I went out and boought Cold Mountain at the recommendation of Eggie. I haven't gotten far in it at all, but it seems pretty good so far! 4. Today is going to be a serious fishy maintenance day. I've got some water changes to do! There are buckets filled with water everywhere right now, just waiting to go into the tanks. 5. My poor BF has been sick since Saturday with sniffles and an awful cough. I just have a strange feeling though that he gets just a little tiny bit sicker when I get home. Drama queen. Big time. 6. I want sooo bad to take that tax money I got and go do something fun with it, but I have to restrain myself because I have bills to pay. But boy would it be fun. Self-control...self-control....Hafta have self-control! 7. My cousin's divorce is final today. She thought it wouldn't be until June but when she called her ex about their taxes she asked him about it. She called me the day before yesterday and was soooooo excited. I didn't remember that until just now- glad I did though because I was planning on getting flowers sent to her at work to celebrate. 7.5 I will be using a smidgen amount of tax money today to send my cousin some flowers

1. I have received the same email from HercklePerckle FIVE time in the last hour. 2. I am not complaining, just commenting. 3. I am wondering if Juju Ms Eggie or Rosie have also received that email FIVE times since they were on the address list as we;;? 4. I find it funny when it gets to 3, then 4, then 5. 5. I wonder if i will have a 6th in my inbox by the time i finish posting this.

7. Phew - problem solved and no need to fear HP's email. it was just a corruption in her outbox- nothing wrong with the actual email. (so feel safe if you get email again from our lovely HP)

Just a clarification for Juju, Eggie, Rosie (Legal already knows): Here's the latest--hopefully, this is good news for you: 1. This is NOT a virus issue, per my McAfee scan (just completed) and per Earthlink, who I contacted thru Earthlink Help/Chat. 2. Earthlink suspects I have a corrupted Outbox. They have given me instructions for taking care of that. So I will be busy doing that now. Again, my apologies for causing you worries and grief!
Love, Dale/HP

1. I have no clue what number we are on now. It looks like 8...or 9...? 2. I'll do 9 and hopefully we can get back on track. 3. I enjoyed lunch out today with my co-workers. I truly think I have the best job in the world with the best group of people. 4. Each month, I pick a day and a new and unique place to eat and force everyone out together. They think it is great that the new person in town is coming up with great places to eat that they have never been to despite having lived here forever. 5. I am accustomed to eating out for lunch almost everyday of the week with my co-workers, so this is a big adjustment to only go out once a month. It is much better on my pocketbook, however 6. The weather man said we are flirting with spring today and he is right. It is a balmy 59 degrees out right now!!! What a gorgeous day - even if it is windy enough to knock ya' over. Can't have it all, right? 7. I'm snacking on a sugar free cookie. I hate that I may have to give up all sugar forever, but it looks like that may be where I'm headed physcially. 8. My mom had eye surgery today to remove some kind of growth on her eye that she has had all of her life. It isn't harmful, but it has prevented her from being able to have vision correction surgery. 9. She called about 30 minutes ago and is fine. After a month or so of healing, she will be able to have the laser surgery.

1. Spy, I like your new color! 2. My neice is here today, I babysit her alot during tax season as both her parents are CPA's for a big international corporation and this time of year is very hectic. 3. It is going much better this time than when she was here a couple weeks ago and my wonderful angel son threw stuff at her pretty much the whole time. 4. She is a year older than him and when she was mean to him when he was a baby we used to laugh that someday it would be payback time. I think that time is now. 5. There have been no tears today though and they are playing very well together. 6. All went well with the babysitter's the other day. (In case you don't know it was the first time I left my kids with someone that wasn't a family member.) I will definitely have to use them more this summer. 7. We thought our dog, Jane, broke her foot last week, but it turned out to be a deep bruise, poor girl, she always has problems. 8. The biopsies she had done came back as being an allergic reaction to something. We now need to contact a vet dermatologist to find out what it is. 9. My daughter found out today that it is fun to put her hands in the toilet. First it is hands, next it will be toys. The bathroom door is to be kept closed at all times from now on. 10. My son only played in the tiolet one time, he dropped my cordless phone in there. Amazingly, it still worked after it dried out, but not very well and I had to get rid of it.

1. I just lost a big chunk of hair that was caught in my grabber stick, while I was trying to get back on the bed. No-one was here to help me untangle it, so I just had to yank it out. OUCH! Now I have a headache.. (LOL)

1. Jewels, hate to break the bad news, but toys won't be next - it will be an entire roll of toilet paper that backs up the toilet into the kitchen. Oh, yes - keep that bathroom door shut and vaporlocked at all times; 2. Dang dang dang, Mygetaway. Sounds like it hurts. PS What's a grabber stick? 3. I'm tired as all hell, but I had a good day too, Froggiegirl. Yay us.

1. I'mmmmm BAAAAACK.....from Boston, Pittsburgh and Rochester, NY. Going back to Pittsburgh on Saturday. 2. It is icy here. I about lost it getting my suitcases from the garage to the house. 3. I had a good job interview, but there is an internal candidate, so I'm not getting very excited. 4. I LOVED the last episode of Sex and the City and am curious as to how they are going to get it all wrapped up in just one more episode!

1. Went to bed at 2:30 this morning. I was still awake at 3 when MOW asked if I knew where the cold medicine was. 2. Listened to him climb in the shower at 3:30 and get ready for work. Heard him leave at 4:15. 3. 5:10 I felt someone climb in bed with me and say "Hey babe, it's me. Car broke down on the way to work." 4. He had to call my mom to go get him because I didn't hear the phone. I had been asleep 45 minutes...of course I didn't hear it, LOL. 5. Was still awake at 6:30. At 7, he woke me up to tell me the tow truck was here and he was going to get the car and take it to the dealership. 6. At 8:30 he woke me up again to ask for my atm card because his wasn't working. (I told him last week to call and get a new one, lol!) 6.5 Timing belt on his car broke, water pump also had to be replaced, along with something else. All together, it was about $400! At least the car's fixed, and he can go to work tomorrow. What a day!

1. Yikes. So I did tank cleaning yesterday afternoon. I get home at night and look at my female platy. She's looked pretty round for a long time and now I notice she's so fat the scales look like they want to pop off. Yep. I have babies again. I put her in my baby tank last night (I still have the ones born in December in there)- this morning when I got up and looked at her I didn't even recognize her- she got her little figure back! 2. I didn't realize how much the other babies had grown until I saw the new babies. They're clear (will be a silvery, bluish green when they grow) and are little, tiny swimming eyeballs that are small enough to smoosh themselves down in the cracks between the gravel. Very cute. 3. After fish cleaning yesterday I went out and bought my cousin some flowers. Delivery was a bit pricey. $40 for a coffee cup with a couple flowers in it? No thanks. I went to the florist and bought a $15 mixed springy looking bouquet. I have her house key so, quickly before she came home for lunch, I stopped over there and left them in her kitchen with a Congratulations balloon and a card that said Happy Divorce Day. 4. She called later to say thanks, but apparently I (and my mom and aunt) misinterpreted what she said. It's next Wednesday. I think she just told us it would be finalized "Wednesday" and didn't specify whic one. 5. My tummy is growling. I wish I had something tastier than toast for breakfast. I mean, I love toast. I love bread. And it's the good bread with the little nuts and seeds in it. I just want somethhing else. Oh well. Toast it will be. 6. It's so foggy out right now that I can't see the building across the street. I can hardly see out the window actually. I hope people are driveing safely to work. This year has been the deadliest in a long time in Wisconsin for traffic. I think it's all the snow we've been getting, but people drive like idiots- they get a little too overconfident in their winter driving abilities. 7. I don't really have anything to do today until I go to work tonight. I'll have to figure something out. 7.25 I just remembered that I have potatoes, onion, a tomato, and green peppers. Breakfast just might be good today! 7.5 Wargod- that actually sounds like you guys got a pretty good price! Timing belts usually are expensive. Not for the belt but for the labor. I had to have my water pump replaced a few years ago and had them do the timing just because they were already in there and the labor wouldn't be much more. It was already disassembled where it needed to be. A $400 bill that you weren't planning for is never fun though.

1. I am wondering what cybersis Kaili is feeding her fishies to make them such breeding machines! 2. One of my fishies is ill and is swimming sideways. 3. I set up our "medic" tank, but since it is salt water it takes some time before it will be ready to put him in there....he probably won't make it. 4. I am not all that upset though because it is our black trigger fish and he is the meanest of the bunch. 5. I have been able to keep food down now for about the last 12 hours or so....pretty exciting,eh? 6. I feel fine considering-no fever or chills or anything to suggest this was a cold. Only stomach pains and inability to keep food in my tummy. 7. I ate an eggo this morning and so far so good....a bit of pain on my right side, but not much. 8. I have been on this computer for over two hours now!yikes!

1. I'm glad GAL had a good day yesterday too. Double yay us! 2. Today is not a good day. Boo me! 3. I have cramps like you would not believe. Thank God I only worked until 12 today. 4. I'm happy Kaili has more fishy babies to love...they sound so cute! 5. Wedding planning is moving ahead nicely. Church booked, organist booked, and reception hall booked! 6. I NEED to find a photograher soon or I'm going to have a breakdown. Once I have him/her booked I'm taking a break from planning! This is too stressful. 7. I can't find my heating pad. 8. I taped Newlyweds last night and can't wait to watch it! 9. Now, off to find that damned heating pad and crawl into bed...

9.25 I recommend Naproxen, Froggiegirl. I used to have cramps like that all the time. It really works--as it is a muscle relaxant. (It wasn't til years later that my GYN discovered I had had endometriosis all along. If this is a routine problem for you, wouldn't hurt to ask your GYN to check that out.)

Thanks HP! This isn't a monthly occurance for me, maybe one out of every four months. But when I get them, I get them bad! I usually take some midol and it helps tremendously when combined with my heating pad...if only I could find it!

1. i am tired today...went into work at 5 this morning for the overtime....blech! 2. i had a shitty day yesterday, and WILL be going out and drinking tonight. HALLELUJAH! taking a bottle of champagne too, for my friend and i to drink in the parking lot first. 3. glad i have supportive friends. lol 4. it has not been a very good week for me and my mother getting along. i am trying to chill and back away for awhile. 5. last night i got a pair of lounge-around-the-house capri pants that say GRUMPY on the butt. has the dwarf on the front. fit my mood and i love them! 6. i have missed the gilmore girls the last 2 weeks thanks to vcr OPERATOR errors (not MY errors either.) 7. i am supposed to be getting basic cable installed sometime this afternoon between 3 and 5. right now it is 4:15, wtf? 8. i am fearing that i won't get to take a nap before tonight's escapade. man, it could be ugly(ier than usual) in the morning. 9. the ONLY good thing that comes from getting up at 4 in the morning is that it throws the cat's schedule off, too, and she wasn't standing at the door to get under my feet right when i got up...yay! 10. THANK GOD tomorrow is friday, don't know that i can take too much more this week.

Hey Gal, the grabber stick is one of those things with suction cups on the end, that you can squeeze and use it to pick things up off the floor, or from the cupboard, etc. I use mine to get things that are just out of reach, without having to get out of my wheelchair, or call someone else in to do it. It comes in really handy. There are all shapes and sizes. I have a metal one (which is the one my hair got caught in) that's about 3 feet I guess, and a smaller plastic one. I also have what they call a "dressing stick." That is great for helping to put on socks, etc. I've gotten very creative and can actually tie the two together and can shut my bedroom door or turn off the light without having to get up..hehe

if you don't have naprosyn, take aleve; it has naproxyn sodium in it. the best non-rx for cramps ever. i knew herckle was my cyber-dd, but that proves it!

1. I went rock hunting today, and found some really nice, extra smooth, not too big, rocks for painting. It exhausted me though, and I had to cancel out on a meeting I was supposed to go to this afternoon. 2. Tomorrow, I'm getting my new reading/painting glasses. Yay, I'm going to be able to see better when I paint!

1. May I suggest "ORUDIS" (ketoprofen) for cramps? I used to have a prescription for four times the over the counter dose, and WAY back in the 90s, my doctor was surprised that the ketoprofen made my headaches go away. Now it is over the counter and marketed for headaches, etc. It is GREAT for tension headaches and cramps. It's in a different drug class than tylonal, etc. so you can take it with. 2. I am Soooooo disapointed in my elementary education majors. They are obviously NOT taking notes in class and their assignments are rather horrid right now. YIKES, their lesson plans are unteachable and not even close to the format required. AND, of course, it is all MY fault....a quote from an irate email that I got. "How do you expect us to know how to do a lesson plan when over half of us have never done one." (Answer: Well, after spending a whole week on lesson plans, and giving you the format to download, I don't think that that is an unreasonable expectation.) SHEESH, can't wait for peer teaching next week. NOT! What a bunch of whiners. 3. I'm thinking that I'm not going to get anymore interviews from the 10 applications I have out. The place where I had the interview this week has an internal candidate. I'm probably going to be stuck here listening to people who SHOULD NOT be teachers WHINE about simple assignments. ARGGGGGGGHHH!
