right now i am going to watch the son of sam movie with martin sheen--'Out of Darkness'. having lived my 23rd year in the bronx and having the killer turn out out to be the mailman who delivered mail on a route that ended only one street away from my basement apartment....i feel a special affinity for the time of 1977 and i love watching david berkowitz get caught. if you didn't live in new york in 1977, it's hard to imagine how one person terrorized millions of people. and then the composite looked like a very slim puerto rican, not an overweight jewish man. and the car, which was supposedly a light yellow bug was really a huge ford, such as an LTD.
they caught him on august 11, just before my 23rd birthday and it was all i wanted!
i didn't go out with anyone i didn't already know and you never sat in a car and talked when you came home from somewhere. it was a terrifying time.
it just makes me feel so good to see a movie that was done so accurately ('summer of sam' sucked!!) and always has the same outcome: david berkowitz was caught. by a parking ticket!! and an illegal alien who dared to call it in to the hotline.

Right now, Wow, Tabby. I would watch it with you, but not playing here. It must be especially creepy to watch if you've actually lived thru it. Glad you came thru those times unscathed--physically, anyway.

lol, juju!
right now, that is so great, reader!! i guess you won't have your top down for a couple of months and probably not even the convertible top, either.

right now, i am hoping adven's newest worm game doesn't leave people out like the academies or whatever he hosted before.

right now, i am wishing i could eat a whole tube of pringles!

right now, i wish i wish i wish son to do well on his calc final tomorrow!

right now, the only part of the movie that drove me crazy for being 'wrong' was catching the son of sam with snow still on the ground. it was a hot and humid august and we had the blackout four weeks earlier--july 13, 1977. there hadn't been snow for 5 months at least :-)
but i still cheered when they arrested him in the movie!

right now, i so wish we had some extra money. dd received an invitation to the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine...but it costs 2,000 dollars, so we can't send her. she said it's enough to have been honored with an invite--she is the only sophomore who got one--but i still feel a little disappointment for her. speakers include drs such as patch adams and denton cooley.
if i could just win a small lottery!

Right now Tabby: Check with the sponsors of the program, the school, the PTA, etc etc and see if there isn't some sort of scholarship or other program to help out in special circumstances. My understanding is that there almost always is something like this but hardly anyone ever asks - and what's the worst you could find out anyway??

What were we always taught? It never hurts to ask?? Good luck and congrats on DD getting the invite too!

thanks, dra. we don't have a PTA at all, can you believe it? but i will see if there is another group to ask. the american association of university women gave her a scholarship to 'tech trek' at fresno state when she was 13. our town doesn't have much money and mostly uses their funds to support agricultural trips and football. your basic rural area!

how's baby melodie doing?!

Right now its 5:30AM and I haven't been to sleep yet. I hate the crazy schedule I'm on. Between intermittant sleep, packing 1 box that takes quite a while cause i have to stop after half an hour, take a pain pill and lay flat on my back for an hour and finish packing that box and start another etc, etc, and then hubby gets home just after midnight and we eat and talk and just spend time together and by that time its 4 or 5 AM and I can finally get here and......nobody's up but me! I miss chat!!! WAAAAAAAA

{{{TWINKIE!!}}} Just because. :-)

Right now I am wide awake. It is not quite 6 a.m. My alarm doesn't even go off for another 40 minutes, but here I sit on my couch, already showered, with a cup of coffee at my side. A cat across the room who is very jealous of my laptop. I think I am going to try to catch up on some emails.

Hermione, Not quite yet.... lol~ The lakes are frozen and it will probably be a month yet before they are clear. And even then....brrrrrr.... until late May! Now DS woke up sick.... so I might just have to escape this sick house and shop by myself!

Right now I am imagining trying to test drive a jet ski on a frozen lake. Doesn't quite compute, does it? LOL! Hope DH feels better soon and that you have a good day, even if you shop alone.

Right now I'm glued to the TV, all the surrounding schools are having an early dismissal due to a snow storm coming through, but our school hasn't made that call. I couldn't remember why I didn't want my son to take the car this morning so I let me drive, now I'm hoping he can get home before the roads get worse.

Right now I have HAD IT with my dd teacher. I have cut her A LOT of slack because 1)this is only her first year teaching 2)She is only 23 and 3)She does not have children of her own, nor to my knowledge much experience working with them on a daily basis BUT today was the final straw. Phone rings at 5:50am and it is her trying to reach all of the parents because it slipped her mind to place information in last weeks folders regarding Picture Day-which guess what, is today! Ummm.....yah. Thanks for the 5am warning the day of! Ugh.

Right now I'm telling Silly that I would be seeing RED! You just don't call people that early in the morning unless there is something seriously wrong. IMHO I have been reading all the stuff that you have been dealing with regarding this teacher and must say that you show a lot of patience. :-)

right now, silly, isn't there a monthly calendar that comes home with important things like PICTURE DAY on it? that way, if teacher forgets to put a slip in a folder, you already have the 'big picture'. when my kids were in elementary school, they put one in each folder at the end of the month for the next month. it was a little newsletter type thing, with a note from the principal, etc. if you didn't get one, there was stack of them on the school office counter.
have you spoken with the principal about this teacher? sounds as if she is a kid herself. she'll learn, but it shouldn't be at the expense of your child.
i wonder how many families have unlisted numbers that this teacher has just shared with everyone and his brother, too?

Right now, I am getting ready to go and spend most of my day sitting with my mom as she gets new carpeting put in. We all chipped in to get her new carpeting, which she needed, and being as I have all the kids in school, I am the one elected to go and sit there. She is hard of hearing, Badly!, and will not get a hearing aid so she won't know what the heck anyone is saying to her. We have to shout to talk to her. The other day she said she couldn't hear because we all talked to softly. My sister and I laughed at that because we have NEVER been accused of that!
