{{{HUGS}}} Ginger, it is personal, hope you found someone to talk it over, it was a huge loss, find warm fuzzies everywhere you can!! I remember when our neighbors house caught fire, my dad was working shiftwork, and I saw it, called the fire (and it wasnt a 911 number! lol) and woke my dad, luckily everyone got out safe, but you never forget, and that was a neighbor not me! Right now I'm gathering stuff for the Lenten Soup Supper, we're doing it on Egypt tonight, hah, hope they can pretend leftover beef is lamb!! (in my soup, i freeze leftovers for soup!!) I made a special dessert from wheat germ and honey, different, not bad, but isnt anythinglike a "brownie" lol!!
@ Tabby!! *g

right now, i am more than a little vexed with a teacher ds had in high school that dd has now. ds and a friend went to the hs to visit, as they are both home from college. friend goes to uc san diego. when one teacher (in front of 3 other teachers) asked ds about school when he went to her room during lunch, he decided to be honest and told her the engineering college was much too difficult and he would be leaving school come june to do community college for two years while he decides exactly what he wants to major in. now, ds's GPA is higher than his friend's, and friend will probably be sent home from san diego unless a miracle happens, but teacher has always favored this other boy over everyone. when ds told the teacher he was planning to move to oakland she just rolled her eyes. my dd's class was just entering the room and both ds and dd told me the teacher looked at ds and just said, "well, you'll just end up getting shot." then she put her arm around son's friend and proudly introduced him as her "UC student". ds just walked out of the classroom. i am glad he was a man about it, but i almost wish he had said, "i'd like to share with you that your UC student has a lower GPA than me!" my son told me about it when he and i were driving to san jose for his orthopedic appointment. dd gave me the exact same story when we got home from san jose. she said it was really mean and just 'dismissive' when the teacher said ds would just end up getting shot. i don't want to cause a scene because dd has this teacher for AP english. this shows me that a teacher can go from being very close to a student to just writing them off; she takes it personally if they don't do what she wants them to in college. my son, who has made a special trip to see this teacher each time he is home, no longer wants to have anything to do with her. he totally lost respect for her today. how sad.......

Tabby, I'm so sorry this happened to your son. That teacher needs to understand just how much her words still hurt a kid even after they're no longer a student. It was inexcusable and totally unprofessional of her IMO. Now on a lighter note, maybe he should explain to her that he has decided to become a pension fund auditor and he has some very definite ideas exactly what accounts he wants to audit first. {{{Tabby's ds}}}

Right now I am thinking Tabbyking's son's teacher sounds a lot like a racist as well as an idiot. "well, you'll just end up getting shot." is a very stupid thing to say.

Right now I just realized I completely forgot about Survivor tonight! Mow and I sat and watched That 70's Show and the AI result show, and I never even though of it. Been sitting here for the last hour thinking it was a slow tv night, LOL.

right now, i am trying to forget yesterday and work on today! i was out the door at 7:15 and in our county seat by 8:00; filled out an application and home by 9:30. county seat is about 40 miles from here. unfortunately, the job i went to fill out an application for is through the community action agency's head start, and the director was just put on administrative leave for a 300,000+ dollar 'discrepancy'. i am finding head start practices to be very confusing and scary! when i applied for a teaching job in a town in merced county, i had to apply through madera county and the 'we didn't get enough applications to interview letter' came from fresno county! i went to merced county to apply for a head start community advocate position for two cities in the county. i have seen the ad for a few weeks now, but didn't realize at last there was a job that didn't require bilingual spanish/english! the deadline is tomorrow...so i drove all the way there and halfway through the application, i see in bold, bold black ink: PREFER BILINGUAL SPANISH/ENGLISH . well, at least it didn't say "requires" or "must be". i also interviewed at penney's. well, i talked to a computer and i visited the fine jewelry department, traded a little gossip and left. i may get that job, but it's all minimum wage and evenings and weekends--like the golf job i passed on! head start pays better, but a lot of responsibility and i am left with the suburban to drive around the county...at 17 mpg, i don't want to use 8 bucks of gas each day! why oh why can't a small lotto just drop into my lap!? i don't need the millions, but 50k after taxes would sure help

Right now I want to thank Tabbyking for reminding me I had a powerball for last night. [Wed is always Polar Pop and Powerball day for me, then I forget I got a ticket]. Didn't win the big one but matched 3 numbers + powerball so got $100! My fiance's sis and niece & nephew are visiting, so I think I'll take them somewhere fun. THANK YOU TABBYKING!

Right now, I just got back from the mall and spent too much money(maybe Serate could borrow me $100)LOL. I bought a hermit crab and was wondering how juju would feel about having a crab named after her.

right now, since there are many juju's around, you have to have a 'subtitle'...so maybe you can call it juju b. i loved them at the movie theater, although i swear i almost lifted a few teeth out and i haven't seen them in yearrrrrrrrrs. for those of you who don't know, juju b's were little hard plastic candies with a flat end and a dimpled end. they were in flavors that weren't flavors, if you know what i mean. a red one did not taste like cherry, a green one did not taste like apple. they all tasted like warm plastic. but for a nickel a box, they lasted forever because they stuck so bad to the teeth! you could eat them the first feature and scrape the excess off your teeth for the second feature. yes, ladies and gents...i don't think i saw a 'single' feature until i was late teens. there were always 2 movies in the old hometown theaters...

Right now, Tabby brought back old 'movie candy' memories. I never really liked jujube's. They're in the same category with Dots. I've never had any patience for "stick in your teeth candy". When I was growing up we always went to double feature movies, too. We'd go to Sprouse-Reitz drugstore first and get a 5 cent bag of lemon drops. I always bit them so I'm sure they didn't last through the second feature!!

tabby i'm in pennsylvania. i get them all the time at the grocery store, and i've even seen them at the video store too. $.99 for a 6.5 oz. box...can't beat that! i like having them to chew on while watching tv at night instead of fatty foods or sweets. how weird that you can't get them out in cali!?!
