I am so happy happy happy!!!! My brother just stopped by-I thought it was a bit odd as he should have been at work, but his schedule has been a bit off with the holidays. I figured maybe he just missed us since we have been gone for a week. Nope! He came over to deliver the news that I will be an Auntie again!!!! I am so thrilled! A baby to enjoy....and give back to someone else when I am babied out!!!yay yay yay!!!!

Hippy: yes it will. Little by little. Start in one corner of the room and move clockwise in 15 minute increments.

Way cool, Silly! I musta missed that one when I wrote my earlier post. DH is still sick, but at least the bed is staying inflated. I'm doing some decluttering in the bedroom as I am beginning to not feel well...and I can declutter while in bed.

I am passing this on to you because it has definitely worked for me...and at this time of year we all could use a little...calm!!! By following the simple advice I read in an article, I have finally found inner peace........the article read: "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started." So I looked around the house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished....and before coming to work this morning I finished off a bottle of red wine, a bottle of white, the Bailey's, Kahlua and Tia Maria, my Prozac, some valium, my cigarettes and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how freakin good I feel.... You may pass this on to those you feel are in need of Inner Peace...

My inner peace will be starting around 8 tonight. I'll be at a party that's NOT AT MY HOUSE! YAAAAA!! I'll be finding inner peace in lots of food I didn't have to fix and plenty of rum and coke. YAAAAAAA again!! I'm hoping to reach Lost's state of nirvana. OHMMMMMMM

Well, I went and took full advantage of the Victoria's Secret Angel Card Colossus gave me for Christmas. I'm hoping I can ply him with my wares (aaahhheeemmm - 'wears') and we'll still be home at midnight instead of out at some sweaty party just asking to get roadblocked on our way home. Wish me luck!! And a happy and safe New Year to you all!!!

GAL, "may you get laid instead of waylaid". wait--waylaid might be way cool, too. i think what colossus wants is what's 'under wares', so he could have just given you a blank card, and had his own victorious secret!!....

Thank God for Loratadine (generic Claritin)I thought I was having anxiety attacks all this past week. I had a headache I couldn't get rid of since Christmas day and I bruised my shoulder trying to massage the knots out of it. I woke up this morning and decided to give loratadine a try to see if my headache was possibly allergy related and for the first time in a week I've been pain-free! Aaaahhhhh! Feels WONDERFUL! (Does this remind you of those "I lowered my cholesterol" commercials? LOL!)

LOL Gemma, Tabby that post needed a warning!! Random thought for today, since its a slow self serving day, Ithought I would try the new message feature. I've gone to my profile and added to that area, and then I clicked on new messages, and I have bunches of posts, so do I have to click on all those posts to get the new message feature to pare down? (or should I just open a new window and see how it works now? ) Hah just answered my OWN question!! (Imagine that!!) No, now I just get a small page of new messages posted!! Now how does that spell check feature work?

Reader, as often as you are on the board, you should use the New Message feature. You will soon learn to wonder how you did without it. Most of the old-timers have it set to check All Topics. Then you just look at the previews of each message and decide if you want to open that thread or not. If someone is going around the board spamming each folder (and I am not pointing fingers at Karuuna), you don't have to open each of them to see that. If there are threads that are of no interest to you, you don't go into them. On the other hand, if there is a thread you don't normally look at and suddenly everybody is posting there, you might want to give it a look.

ds goes back to school tomorrow. over 3 hours to get there...then load stuff up to his messy room, check and report on any earthquake damage--wonder if i can blame his messy room on mother nature?! -- head for the restaurant they are using to sell the textbooks, write a big ol' check...get in the car and drive over 3 hours home. so today is last of his laundry, making sure he has his meds, calc book, and all his little crap, look for guitar strap.... actually, i am a little more sad he is leaving this time than i was when we left him the first time in september! but he was excited to go then, and is bummed now. plus, academic probation is scary and he feeling the stress! gosh, i wish sometimes i could see 5 years down the road and know if it all worked out okay! well, first things first. i had best get on the treadmill. i reward myself by letting myself only read when i am treadmilling. so if i have a really good book, i do the treadmill longer so i can read more. no more reading on the couch or while eating lunch, etc.!

Tabby, that is a great idea about the treadmill. Perhaps I will get one soon and try that.

well, i went to check my son's textbook list and the college shows his order as canceled. shinola. last time, we ordered his books and gave a credit card online. when we got to where we were to pick them up, they said there was a problem with the credit card. BANK ONE...need i say more? so i checked the info they had and it was accurate, but i just wrote a check for the books. then we order his next quarter books to pick up tomorrow. this was 3 weeks back. and i go to look today and it says order canceled due to wrong credit card info. aaaarrrgh. i called the bookstore and got kevin who said he'd be right back. then i got a lady who said she could help me. i said, 'did kevin give you to me?' and she said, "weren't you talking to judy?" and the upshot was (kevin maybe was going to help me and someone else picked up the wrong line....) they have 'no idea' if his books were totally canceled or will be in 'the problem pile'. i said, 'will there be enough books for him to put his classes together should his order NOT be on the problem desk?!' i hate problems, especially when i go out of my way to handle things in advance and think they are all set to fly.

I never get my books through the college bookstore anymore. Not only is it far more expensive, but far more hassle. The first week of school is usually fairly light and I have time to get my books through other means then-sometimes I have an assignment to do and I will just use the books out of the school library for that or if i'm really lucky I know someone in the class too. Books are the most expensive part of college I tell you! But you can knock a lot of that expense off by not buying directly from the school.

my son's first week jumps right in there. with 9-week quarters, not semesters, he needs to have his books in advance...and they only sell them 2 days in advance. he can get them tomorrow or sunday and he starts classes monday morning. they won't even tell you what books your professor will be using until the last minute, and even then, if you take the wrapper off a book and get to class and the professor has changed his selection, you cannot get full price when you return the book! he was going to trade his communications text book for a chem book and then the other student failed the chem and needs to keep his book! if ds could be sure of the textbooks to be used, and with enough time to do so, he could go downtown in san luis and save money. at this point, with everything being at the last minute and public transportation being lousy on saturdays and sundays, he is better off going through the bookstore. he got some used textbooks last time, and decided he really doesn't like them. the highlighting other students have done in the books confuses/irritates him. he would think he had read something, but it was the last kid who used it who had read and marked something! he would rather have brand new and mark them himself! i'm sure once he gets past this first (everything is new) year, he will find other ways to do things! his books were 300 dollars last quarter. nothing compared to the $1,179 in fees, the $1,120 for his meal plan and $1,500 for his dorm! for one quarter!

p.s. i just had to pay all that almost 4k again for his winter quarter and i will be having to look for $3,500 between now and march 1 for spring quarter...and a deposit of $800 for an apartment on campus by march 18 for NEXT fall, and the meal plan payment by mid-may for next fall! it just never ends...too bad we 'don't do anything' for our kids

My goodness Tabbyking! Your son is so very lucky to have such wonderful and supportive parents. My parents never went to college and do not understand...They helped my brother out a bit, but since I was "supposed" to find a nice boy to marry who would take care of me they have been nonexsistant in my college dreams. I have already taken out $12,000 in student loans!Anyway, trust me I know the costs of college-especially a good one! But your son will be so much better off with a college degree under his belt! You are great to help him out and not leave him to walk alone in this crazy world just because he turned 18.

thanks, silly! we know his job right now is to get a good education, although it is a hardship on the rest of us sometimes financially. i only went to 2 years of college and then the e.m.t. and ambulance courses...and my dh went into the air force at age 17. how i wish someone had done for me what we are trying to do for our kids. i just wish i could help my son with the actual studies. it is so hard for him, especially to be there with kids from larger and better high schools, kids who don't seem to have to struggle so hard, kids who don't have hearing problems... i just keep hoping he can make it and not have to come home and do the community college route--even our community colleges are 45 miles away. it would take him years to complete his AA and go back into a 4-year college. i know it is tough for him...i just keep praying!
