Why is it every week this one co-worker of mine had some issue at home and has to leave early. I'm starting to get a little salty because I have to pick up the slack. Maybe next week I should call out with a hang nail!!!

not sure where to post this since its not exactly BREAKING News

ABC News Playing Online Dating Game
Friday February 6 3:22 AM ET


Valentine's Day is coming up, and ABC News is thinking of romance.

The unit is developing a documentary about online dating as part of its "24/7" series of shows that started in summer 2000 with "Hopkins 24/7," a look at life inside Baltimore's Johns Hopkins medical facility. The network is trolling the Internet for juicy tales to chronicle for the dating show, according to a note posted on Craigslist.org.

"ABC 24/7 producer needs your hot Craigslist personals stories!" the headline reads. "An ABC News documentary series, 'Dating 24/7,' is looking for people willing to share on camera the ups and downs of romantic adventures on Craigslist -- dating, relationships, sex and other interesting encounters."


An ABC News spokesman cautioned that the one-hour show is "in the very earliest stages" and may not even make it to air. ABC's next "24/7" series will delve into the New York Police Department in a seven-part series.

Wow...yesterday I spent $175.00 on a doctor's appointment and $271.00 on two 30-day prescriptions.

I called a lab today to get prices on the doctor requested lab work--Arthritis Profile; Complete Metabolic Profile; Lipid Profile 1; T3, Total; T4, Total; and TSH. The lab I called wants $442 for the tests, plus $10 for the blood draw.

How the heck are people supposed to get medical care if they are too broke to afford insurance???

Take your time and see if you can read each line aloud without a mistake. The average person can't.

This is this cat
This is is cat
This is how cat
This is to cat
This is keep cat
This is an cat
This is old cat
This is fool ca
This is busy cat
This is for cat
This is forty cat
This is seconds cat

Now go back and read the THIRD word in each line from the top down.

Lkunkel ~ Sorry to hear about your medical care $ woes! That sure is a bunch of bucks!

Sounds like we can add you to the ever increasing number of people who want health care reform, huh?

Essence! You are evil - I like that in a person!

Actually, even more bizarre:

I finally got the number of the lab on the lab slip and called them for their prices. I had also spent a lot of time last night looking up prices of these tests.

The upshot: the lab the doc wants me to go to is a grand total of $143 for all of the tests--roughly $10 more than I had found the prices online, so that's probably the draw fee.

BUT, it means that I can get the tests done!

I guess this is the right thread for this....it's definitely a "random thought".

I appreciate my new cookware! I *finally* broke down and bought a new set at Costco last week....about $87.95 for a 15 piece set of thick aluminum with nonstick dupont coating and clear glass lids. My old pans still worked fine, but over the last 10-12 years, I have scratched the teflon, burned things, etc... I finally decided I was fed up with having to deal with nonstick cookware that still stuck. So...after about a year of thinking about it, I got the new set and it was like Xmas to me!

I can scramble a couple of eggs and the pan looks practically still clean and brand new even before I wash it! The non-stick surface is like magic....unlike the old pans that were scratched and burned, etc... I had totally *forgotten* how brand new non stick cookware feels like magic when it comes to food actually not sticking and its subsequent clean up. I guess over the years as I mishandled my pots and pans and they gradually lost their "magic", I just didn't notice the decline happening.

:-) I just wanted to say that this was one of those things I dreaded...shelling out money just to replace something I already had. But this time, not only was it a replacement but it was a vast improvement that I appreciate every time I cook anything.

Oh yes...isn't a new non-stick pan just one of life's little pleasures?

These are random thoughts from kids on love......

What is love? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year olds, "What does love mean?"

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.

See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn'tbend over and paint her toenails anymore. So mygrandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca - age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss . " Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen ." Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate ." Nikka - age 6

"There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God makes both kinds of them." Jenny - age 8

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day" Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore ." Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night" Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." Karen - age 7

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget ." Jessica - age 8

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

See if you have good mind control over your body.
This is left brain, right brain stuff.

This actually is true even though it may seem stupid
and it's going to really frustrate you, but it’s fun!

While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor
and make clockwise circles.

Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right hand.

Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do
about it.

Try it.



See what I mean?

It's raining--a three-times-a-year occurrence here in L.A.--and it's only in the mid 50s. Depressing. I think I'll order a pizza.

I was just trying to show Essence's trick to my hubby. He looked at me weird and walked off.
