1. I would totally love to have an Oscar the Grouch t-shirt!! I love funky t-shirts. I have:
a. one where Mr. Potato Head is choosing what nose he is going to wear and it says, "Mr. Potato Head picks his nose."
b. "Psycho."
c. "Caffeinated"
d. "I hear voices and they don't like you."
e. "Stop staring at my shirt"
f. "I am a college graduate. You want fries with that?"
g. one with the Cowardly Lion in a boxing stance saying, "Put 'em up! Put 'em up!"
h. A Big Johnson t-shirt that is absolutely nasty. It is sure to offend someone if I post what it says here. I'll put it in my folder.

2. Sage, I have also been through major depressions-- two which were severe enough to result in my being hospitalized. Getting that help is the first step to recovery. Email me if you ever want to talk!

3. I missed 2 of the 4 AI finalist shows, but am really looking forward to the wild card tonight.

4. I am co-chaperoning a field trip to NYC at the end of the month! Three days in the Big Apple and all it is going to cost me is the price of 2 lunches, one breakfast, film and souvenirs. Probably a t-shirt, LOL!! Everything else is paid for by the school!

5. I have never been to NYC and I am super excited!!

6. When my sister went for the first time, she didn't know there were two baseball stadiums and she was walking through Shea Stadium asking where the Yankee stuff was so she could buy a hat for my dad!! You can imagine that didn't go over too well!

7. I have lost about 12 pounds since I started working out in January!

8. Hello to TABBYKING, just because I am thinking of you!

Jbean, I'm jealous! I wanted Felicity Season 1 DVD's for Christmas, but DF goofed and got me Season 2. I have to have Season 1 before I can start my Felicity marathon! God, I miss that show... (may I ask where you ordered your DVD set from? and how much it cost? ty!)

1. I used to collect a few Oscar the Grouch things. I kind of enjoyed being grouchy. I had a cup with Oscar on it, now my DD uses it.

2. My fave T shirt was one with 2 girl hot dogs buns at a bar and there's a smarmy looking boy hot dog on the next stool. The hot dog says to the girls "Nice buns" and one of the girls says "Weenie."

3. Maybe you actually have to see the cartoon.

4. I wore the shirt till it fell apart and haven't found one I like as much since.

5. I've lost 22 lbs. since November and none of my clothes fit.

6. But when I went to try on new stuff today, the next size down is a little snug and my old size is too baggy. Why such a difference in sizes???

7. I want something new and something that actually fits to wear when I pick up DH.

8. I am still waiting on my biopsy results and I am amazed and blessed to report that I am not one little bit worried. I am dreading the thought of more procedures but I'm not freaking out at what the results might be. That's a big deal for me, I am the queen of the worst case scenario!

9. I've sat here for 10 minutes and can't come up with one more fact and I'm too lazy to split up some of the longer facts and renumber everything.

1. My all-time favorite t-shirt was one that said "Fighting Illini". Why? Dunno, it was just cool. I wore it while I was in university (and not at Illinois) and thought it was cool. And it WAS cool. I wore it until it was worn out. My current favorite is an Emily t-shirt that my hubby brought back for me from New Zealand. It reads, "When Emily sees red, you see black and blue." HA!

2. I'm very proud of those folks who have lost weight... I work out every day and can't seem to lose anything but sweat. :-)

3. Not1worry, I am seriously proud of you for not being "worst case scenario" this time. Best wishes to you.

4. Every time I come in here to post something it's at 10 facts. It's true.

5. I got some very bad business news yesterday, but I'm trying to stay positive about it. But I'd be lying if I said I weren't worried ... But no matter what, I have faith in myself that I'll make it through.

6. My father had a serious heart surgery last week (he had a defibrillator put in). It's hard to be away from your family when they're going through difficult times.

7. I am much more outgoing in person than here on TVCH. It's interesting, but I find myself to be more "private" on an "anonymous" internet site than in person.

8. I grew up in a rural southern area, on a huge tobacco farm. We had chickens, slaughtered hogs in the fall, grew our own food, etc. But I've been a city girl since I went away for college. I think I'm a city girl at heart, but I've definitely got the country in me too. I think it makes me interesting and complex. And my Canadian hubby thinks I'm interesting and odd (which is a good thing in his eyes, lucky for me).

9. Most people who know me in my professional life would be shocked to know where I come from. Many of them had very privileged upbringings... but again, I think it makes me interesting! :-)

10. This is sappy, but I sometimes feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world to have the partner/husband I do. He's just perfect for me. And he's handsome and smart and creative and caring too... I'm very lucky.

1. I'm thrilled for you Yankee, having a mate that is a true partner in life is a blessing. I believe that a large part of how my husband and I've stayed happy together for so many years is that I still get a stomach flip when he drives in. He can see that I'm excited to see him and he knows he is appreciated each and every day.

Quick story, one day when our kids were young teens, it was time for my husband to get home from work and I squealed at them that "daddy will be home any minute". My daughter laughed at me and said, "mom, he comes home every day, and every day you announce it as though the President is coming". LOL!

1. Yankee, I enjoyed your sincere post. You've obviously grew up with high morals and values. Always remember them as you go forth in your professional career as they will keep you grounded and honest. (...and the next time you're out in L.A., I'll make the effort to come and meet you!...also, I hope whatever is happening in your business world will eventually have a good outcome for you.)

2. Okay Facts Crowd, today is the day that I report for Jury Duty. It's gorgeous day in Southern California and I hope that I can sit out in some sunshine while waiting on the judicial process to determine if they'll use me.

1. JBean, I finally posted in my folder about the naughty t-shirt!

2. Yankee, I enjoyed your post! I have enjoyed getting to know you on the boards. I'm actually opposite you... I'm very shy in real life until you get to know me. On the boards I can be braver.

3. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday and trying to figure out how I could get to the grocery store and Target between the extended hours day in the library and the NYC trip meeting at 7 p.m. I was quite relieved to remember it was Wednesday and that getting to the stores after work will not be a problem! Unfortunately, I am still going to miss Survivor tomorrow. Shucks. It looks like a good episode, too.

1. I am SO glad to have time tonight to read this thread.....I love all the people here and their insights into life. Like Yankee, I grew up in a farming community, but I love living in cities.

2. I JUST now sent an email to my German colleague asking him if he has time for dinner or a bier in the next two days. I kinda doubt it, as the place has been like Grand Central station. Today a famous composer visited and he told him about my research and showed some of the children's compositions.

3. He is being a butthead about the language thing, and is forcing me to speak German and to listen in German. This after making a comment that my German wasn't any better than last summer. Well, it is, and that hurt. The next day I told him that that comment made me angry and he said that he was just teasing. Yeah, right! All I could think of was one of Carrie's lines from 'Sex and the City' when she called Miranda to complain about Paris. 'And I don't know the language....'

3. I saw an episode of Sex and the City in GERMAN last night after the opera. They have dubbed in REALLY giggly girly voices for all the characters and it was quite a mismatch, especially for Miranda. Samatha's voice wasn't very sultary at all! This episode was where Berger met her friends and Charlotte prepares a big Jewish meal.

4. I went to lunch at a pizzaria with the archivist today as her thanks for helping her write some letters in English. I had a special pizza that had artichokes on it. It was really good.

5. My trip here is too short. There is no way that I will finish everything that I need to do!

1. AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
2. My sons wonderful stomach virus came back again yesterday. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. I called the doctor yesterday afternoon, they said it is going around, just let it run its course, but it is highly contagious. I thought, Oh, well thank goodness no one else has it!
3. Cue my daughter! She started vomiting yesterday afternoon and into the night.
4. I have done more laundry in the last 14 hours than I have done in the last 2 weeks.
5. They were both completely lethargic this morning, but I have gotten fluids in both of them and they seem better....for now. I am scared to death to feed my daughter!
6. Please cross your fingers that they feel better soon.

Jewels, remember brat (banana, rice, applesauce, and toast!) If you haven't tried it, pedialyte makes a popsicle that not only gets them hydrated but gives them a bit of pep (that could be just from being hydrated though.) We buy the popsicles and give them to the kids during the summer when it gets to be 100+ here. They think it's a treat. I hope your little ones feel better soon. Sick babies are so sad.

3.It's a georgous day here,I need to get outside.
4.When I walked into the living room this morning,my neighbor's cat was snoozing on my couch! I guess she snuck in when hubby was getting ready for work.
5.Dang cat just looked at me and went back to sleep!
6.Then my cat tries to get in the back door with a lizard hanging out of her mouth.

1. Sorry to hear that Jewels... good thoughts for better tummies! :-)

2. I am like Yankee, and am very outgoing in real life, but completely opposite here - I'm more of a wallflower here than anything (well, except last year and AI!)

3. It's cool out today, but nice and sunny... Spring actually feels like it's on it's way

4. My brother is staying with us for a couple of months... our little house is feeling really little right now!

5. Here is a pic of Tim & I after a very long day of ATV touring through the Mayan jungle on our trip in January (Sorry I just got them downloaded from the camera!) Tired and Dirty

6. I bought a guitar last Monday and can sort of play "Blackbird" (Beatles & Sarah McLachlan) I have my first full lesson tomorrow night and I'm excited!!!

7. I seem to have an overly active bladder today which is becoming a nuisance!

8. I have two t'shirts that I absolutely love:
Both are black baby-t's and one says: "My sexual preference is not you", the other with really small letters in just the right spot: "Nosey little (*#$&%% (only it's actually spelled out) aren't you!"

1. Gosh Gracie, I saw someone else say that earlier and thought they were a day off!

2. I'm so glad you mentioned it, I would have missed it!

3. Got to take Caleb to practice in half an hour.

4. I hope his aim is better today. He was a bit off Monday.

5. He was a bit off Monday in class too. He got a 74 on his math test! In two years of taking math tests, he has never gotten under a 98, especailly when the test is on stuff they review weekly!

6. Dakota's been sick the last two days. Yep, that dreaded spring fever. Yesterday and this morning when it was time to get ready for school, she threw fits because she wanted to stay home and play outside.

7. Not that I blame her. I spent an hour out this morning, pulling weeds, moving some dirt from one flower bed to the other, and getting it ready for planting. I swore I wasn't going to have another garden after we had to tear mine up last year with the plumbing problems.

8. Should have stuck by that promise to myself, since I managed to hurt my wrist. Again.

9. Hoping Mow gets off early enough to come and see Caleb's practice. With all the hours he's been working, he won't get much of a chance to help out this year with Caleb's team, so it's kind of a nice treat when he gets to go.

10. Is CSI on tonight too?
