right now, that is so wonderful, grannyg!! that is a tremendous amount of money from 'just pennies'...although my dd and i still pick them up if they aren't in an oil spill in the middle of a parking lot or something! i know a lot of kids who won't even stoop to pick up a dime.the lowest amount they will go for is a quarter... imagine!

Right now I'd like to say Granny, you've always been an inspiration to the Board, I'm not surprised your kiddies respond to your generous nature in kind. I hope they grow up to be just like you.

Right now, I'm telling Not1 to cherish that rug, do you know how much they cost state side? Maybe you will be able to incorporate into a living area or dining room area some day. If you really, really, really, hate it, I'll be happy to "store" for you, LOL. I'd kill for one of those. Granny, woohoo! You done good girl.

Right now I am thinking perhaps NOT1 can use it on a wall? I hear that is the thing to do with rugs like those these days. I bet you can't wait for DH to come home! Not too much longer now, right? Then I bet we wont be seeing you much around here!

Right now, I want to say that all I really did was encourage the kids to bring pennies. Every morning as they come into school, I'm usually at the door watching them to make sure they don't run over each other or that the bigger ones push on the little ones. And those precious kids would open up their little hands and have 4 or 5 pennies and be so proud. And of course I made a big deal over them and that just made more of them bring pennies. It really was a fun time and the kids really felt like they had done it all by themselves, which they did. So on Friday, I'm throwing a great big ice cream party for everyone of them. They are really what makes this world so wonderful. And Gal, please pray that they turn out a whole lot better than me. They need someone like you in their lives to really aspire to.

Granny, right now I'm remembering that's how the Baton Rouge Zoo bought a elephant in the 60's! The little kids would go on a morning show every day and drop off their pennies into this huge bin. They saved those pennies and bought an elephant for the zoo.

Right now I'm feeling better about the crazy rug. Maybe I'll post of picture of it so you can all appreciate this. DH called and I told him how "surprised" I was. He laughed and I think he knew I would be shocked. When I told him I couldn't even unroll the whole thing it was so huge, he cracked up. Luckily he suggested putting it in the dining room, probably the only room that is okay with me too. I've been keeping the master bedroom redo a surprise, so I couldn't blow it and tell him the thing won't match. With the table and chairs on top, I think I can live with it. Luckily, he wasn't desperately pinning his hopes on me loving it. He gets really invested in his gifts. Even better, he said he got me the first 4 seasons of M*A*S*H on DVD. Yay! Right now I'm totally shocked at the result of Celebrity Mole!

right now, tabby, i read it the first time (about Pamy's husband). just laughed my ass off (well, i wish i could :>). tabby: as stated so many times before...you have such a way with words! you are just too funny. ________ also, glad you have all come to terms with ds. sounds like a great plan to me. (and thanks for answering about the car situation). i love my mother dearly...yet, how great it would be to also have a mom like you (meaning to have had a mom like you...since i am a couple of years older than you :>). you are just so "there" as a MOM (like i said before, i think TVCH has the best moms ever).

right now, i am vexed for two reasons. the first is that i hate it when sellers on eBay charge so much for shipping, they are making a fortune no matter what the item sells for. i looked at an item, went to UPS's website (seller said she or he uses UPS) and put in her zip and mine. we are in towns 250 miles apart in the same state. well, it says postage for 3-day shipping is $8.50, but when you put in your zip on the seller's page to see what you have to pay the seller, he or she wants $26.60! i have a total problem with a seller who makes an extra 18 bucks on shipping, thank you very much. i even added in two pounds for the packaging materials' weight. no way will i bid with someone like that. no wonder they only have one feedback and this item keeps getting relisted! and the second thing i am vexed about, is that i had to quit my internet job--remember, my one customer got a real job--so i really don't have the money to spend on exorbitant postage. i don't see a porn star icon, so i used sponge bob's friend, patrick. ehehehehee.....

Right now, I agree with Tabby. I have cut way back on my eBay shopping because of shipping. I can't believe some of the prices people are charging to send one little item! Right now it is my DD's 6th bday and she really thinks she is queen for the day.

Right now I'm extremely tired of people telling me what I do and do not want, and what I can and cannot do for my wedding, at the same time they're telling me "it's your day, and whatever makes you happy." I'm about ready to let my mom and my fiancee duke it out, and just have them tell me when and where to show up.

Right now I am wondering why I even got out of bed this morning. Things at work have really sucked today, people did not do their jobs yesterday, which meant additional work for me this morning. I've already broke 2 copiers this morning, spilled a jar of jelly all over my kitchen floor and slipped on the ice and fell on my backside. I think I should just go back home and go back to bed.

Right now I feel Jagger's pain, I didn't spill jelly instead I dropped a FULL jar of mayo on my tile floor in the kitchen. What a lovely mess that was to clean. GAL, right now I had the same problem with my wedding plans. I let whoever wanted to run with the plans go wild. In the long run I was less stressed and I still seem to get exactly what I wanted. The poeple feel bad you let go and do what you want to do!!
